c. All Base Rent and Additional Rent, as outlined in Section 4 below without set-off or deduction whatsoever (except as expressly provided in this Agreement),shall be paid to Smithsonian by wire transfer or other means as provided by Smithsonian per separate notice.

 

d. Parking. Genocea will be provided with twenty seven (27) non-reserved parking spaces in the parking garage (as described in Amendment No. 2 to the Lease) at the rate of $125.00 per space, per month. Parking in such parking garage by Genocea’s employees or Invitees shall be at their own risk. If Landlord designates spaces in such parking garage as being for visitors to the Building generally, Genocea may permit its visitors to use such spaces on a non-exclusive basis with other visitors to the Building.

 

4. ADDITIONAL RENT: PAYMENTS: INTEREST.

 

a. Commencing on the date of this Agreement, Genocea shall also be liable to Smithsonian for its proportionate share (12.89%, defined as 10,507 rentable square feet divided by 81,500 total leased square feet leased by Smithsonian pursuant to the Prime Lease) (“Proportionate Share”) of Operating Costs, Taxes, and Insurance Costs as set forth and defined in the Prime Lease and as calculated herein.

 

i. Operating Costs at $10,165.52 per month, calculated at the rate of $11.61 per square foot, subject to annual reconciliation by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease and the reconciliation provisions of this Section;

 

ii. Taxes at $6,812.04 per month, calculated at the rate of $7.78 per square foot, subject to annual reconciliation by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease and the reconciliation provisions of this Section; and

 

iii. Insurance Costs at $429.73 per month, calculated at the rate of $0.049 per square foot, subject to annual reconciliation by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease and the reconciliation provisions of this Section.

 

b. Genocea shall also pay to Smithsonian any amounts incurred by Smithsonian and assessed by Landlord under the Prime Lease for the sole purpose of obtaining Prime Landlord’s consent to this Sublease Agreement, including but not limited to any costs assessed by Landlord for administrative, legal fees and/or additional insurance provisions required.

 

c. Genocea shall pay to Smithsonian all other amounts payable by Smithsonian under the Prime Lease which are attributable exclusively to the Premises or attributable exclusively to Genocea, its employees, customers or invitees. By way of example and not by way of limitation, its Proportionate Share (or direct share as may be appropriate) of charges by Prime Landlord for furnishing air

 

3











 

conditioning or heating to the Premises at times in addition to those certain times specified in the Prime Lease (if not separately metered directly to Genocea ), costs incurred by the Prime Landlord or Smithsonian in repairing damage to the Building caused by an employee of Genocea, increased insurance premiums due as a result of Genocea’s use of the Premises, and amounts expended or incurred by the Prime Landlord or Smithsonian on account of any default by Genocea which gives rise to a default under either the Prime Lease or this Agreement which would be amounts payable by Genocea pursuant to this Subsection 4(c).

 

d. All amounts other than Base Rent payable to Smithsonian under this Agreement shall be deemed to be additional rent due under this Agreement (“Additional Rent”). All past due installments of Base Rent and Additional Rent, if not paid within five business days after written notice from Smithsonian, shall bear a 5% penalty and shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) two percent (2%) higher than the “prime rate” then being reported in the Wall Street Journal or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the term Prime Rate shall mean the rate of interest announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate.

 

e. Reconciliation. Payments by Genocea of Additional Rent authorized herein shall be reconciled by Smithsonian on an annual basis. This reconciliation shall be completed within ninety (90) days of Smithsonian’s receipt of a reconciliation statement from Landlord pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Prime Lease, at which time Smithsonian shall submit a statement broken down by categories in a consistent fashion and in reasonable detail (including reconciliation statements related thereto as provided by Prime Landlord to Smithsonian) showing:

 

i.                                          The actual costs for Operating Costs, Taxes, Insurance Costs or other types of Additional Rent expenses (all the “Additional Rent Costs”) paid or incurred by Smithsonian under the Prime Lease and attributable to the Premises either based on the Proportionate Share or, for the charges that are not allocable on a Proportionate Share basis, on an equitable basis;

ii.                                       A computation of the amount by which the Additional Rent Costs actually incurred during the preceding calendar year exceed the aggregate amount of the Additional Rent payments made by Genocea on account thereof; and

iii.                                    If the aggregate amount of Additional Rent paid by Genocea exceeds Smithsonian’s actual Additional Rent Costs, then Smithsonian shall deduct the net overpayment from its next estimated Base Rent due for the then current year, and Genocea shall make future monthly payments based on the amounts reconciled thereof; provided, however, that any Additional Rent paid by Genocea during the last year of the term of this Sublease which exceeds Smithsonian’s actual liability for Additional Rent Costs, shall be paid directly to Genocea within thirty (30) days after the reconciliation

 

4











 

statement is delivered to Genocea or the end of the lease term, whichever is later.

iv.                                   If actual costs for Additional Rent Costs exceed the estimate, Genocea shall pay the total amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days of notification as Additional Rent in accordance with this section.

v.                                      In the final year of the Lease Term, reconciliations as reflected herein shall be calculated on the basis of the number of days of actual occupancy in the calendar year in which the Lease Term expires.

 

The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration of this Sublease.

 

f. Genocea shall be responsible for (i) coordinating with Prime Landlord and the utility company to allow for a separate meter for electric service to the Premises and (ii) coordinating with Prime Landlord in order to transfer elevator and door access to Genocea from Smithsonian, and no further consents from Smithsonian shall be required in connection with the installation of a separate meter; however, Smithsonian shall cooperate to the extent required by the Prime Landlord or any utility company.  Genocea shall be responsible for all expenses relating to the foregoing, including transferring the Premises back to Smithsonian at the end of the term and, at Smithsonian’s election, removing any separate meter (or reinstalling any equipment) and restoring and/or repairing any damage to the Premises in connection with said removal or reinstallation.

i. Genocea shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Agreement or any interest of Genocea in this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise or permit the use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Genocea and Genocea’s employees or contractors, or sub-sublet the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written approval of Smithsonian.

Genocea shall promptly notify Smithsonian in writing in advance of any such Permitted Transfer.

 

ii. Neither rental nor other payments hereunder shall abate by reason of any damage to or destruction of the Premises or the Building or any part thereof, unless, and then only to the extent that, rental and such other payments actually abate under the Prime Lease with respect to the Premises on account of such event.

 

iii. Genocea shall not have any right to any portion of the proceeds of any award for a condemnation or other taking, or a conveyance in lieu thereof, of all or any portion of the Building or the Premises, except as may be realized by the Smithsonian under the terms of the Prime Lease.

e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that Smithsonian does not assume and shall not have any of the obligations or liabilities of the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease to provide any services to the Premises and that Smithsonian is not herein making the representations or warranties, if any, made by the Prime Landlord in the Prime Lease. With respect to work, services, repairs and restoration or the performance of other obligations required of the Prime Landlord under the applicable Prime Lease, Smithsonian’s sole obligation with respect thereto shall be to promptly request the Prime Landlord, upon written request from Genocea, and to use diligent and timely efforts to obtain such services from Prime Landlord or to permit Genocea to seek such services directly from the Prime Landlord.  Smithsonian shall not be liable in

 

7











 

damages, nor shall rent abate hereunder, for or on account of any failure by the Prime Landlord to perform the obligations and duties imposed on it under the Prime Lease unless Smithsonian is entitled to rent abatement relating to any such damages under the Prime Lease.

 

f. Genocea shall neither do, nor permit to do nor permit to be done, anything that would increase Smithsonian’s obligations to the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease or that would cause the Prime Lease to be terminated or forfeited.  Smithsonian shall not amend or modify (nor agree to amend or modify) the Prime Lease in any way that would increase Genocea’s obligations or diminish Genocea’s rights under this Sublease, nor shall Smithsonian do, nor permit to do or be done, anything that would cause the Prime Lease to be cancelled, terminated or forfeited.

 

7. DEFAULT BY GENOCEA. It shall be an event of default if Genocea fails to comply with any obligation or requirement of the Prime Lease applicable to Genocea or under this Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure period. All cure periods granted to Smithsonian under the Prime Lease shall apply to Genocea hereunder; however, the time periods allocated to Genocea shall be reduced by 10%, with any fractional date being rounded down to the nearest whole number. If an event of default occurs beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Smithsonian may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease.

 

8.  NON-WAIVER.  Failure of Smithsonian to declare any default or delay in taking any action in connection therewith shall not waive such default. No receipt of monies by Smithsonian from Genocea after the termination of this Agreement or of Genocea’s right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the term or affect any notice given to Genocea or any suit commenced or judgment entered prior to receipt of such moneys.

Except to the extent of the indemnified parties’ own negligence or willful misconduct, Genocea agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Prime Landlord and its beneficiaries, Smithsonian and each of their respective trustees, officers, directors, partners, members, managers, agents and employees, from and against any and all claims, demands, costs and expenses of every kind and nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, arising from Genocea’s occupancy of the Premises, Genocea’s construction of any leasehold improvements in the Premises or from any breach or default on the part of Genocea in the performance of any agreement or covenant of Genocea to be performed or performed under this Agreement and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or from any act or neglect of Genocea or its agents, officers, employees, guests, servants, invitees or customers in or about the Premises.  In case any such proceeding is brought against any of said indemnified parties, Genocea covenants, if requested by Smithsonian, to defend such proceeding

 

8











 

at Genocea’s sole cost and expense by legal counsel reasonably approved by Smithsonian.

 

b. Smithsonian shall hold harmless Genocea from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements, which Genocea may incur or pay out by reason of any act, omission or negligence on the part of Smithsonian and/or its officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, customers and/or invitees, or any person claiming through or under Smithsonian, except to the extent any such losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities arise out of the negligence, fault or misconduct of Genocea, or any of Genocea’s respective officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and/or invitees.

 

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, (i) the directors, officers, or employees of Smithsonian, individually and in the aggregate, shall have no liability and Genocea shall have no claim against any such director, officer or employee or any of their respective assets (a) for any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition under this Agreement; (b) in connection with the Premises or the Building; or (c) in respect to the Genocea/Smithsonian relationship with respect to this Agreement; and (ii) none of Smithsonian’s covenants, warranties, representations, undertakings or agreements in this Agreement are made by or are intended as being binding on the directors, officers, employees or agents of Smithsonian individually and in the aggregate; and (iii) in making any claim against Smithsonian, Genocea shall look solely to the Federal appropriations of Smithsonian and shall not assert any claim against any Smithsonian (non-federal) trust contribution, or for any other purpose or cause.

 

d. None of Genocea’s affiliates, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, members shall be personally liable for Genocea’s obligations or any deficiency under this Sublease, and service of process shall not be made against any shareholder, director, officer, employee of Genocea or any of Genocea’s affiliates.

 

e. In no event shall either party be liable to the other party for any punitive, indirect, or consequential damages, except to the extent specifically set forth in this Agreement.

 

11. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent permitted by law, Smithsonian and Genocea each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the other and the officers, directors, partners, agents and employees of each of them for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of any person therein or in the Building, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause insured against under valid and collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policies (or the policies that should have been carried had the parties carried the insurance required under this Agreement), regardless of cause or origin, including negligence, except in the case which would render this waiver void under law, to the extent that such loss or damage is

 

9











 

actually recovered under said insurance policies. Genocea shall obtain from its insurance company a rider waiving all rights of subrogation against Smithsonian and shall provide Smithsonian with evidence thereof within ten days from the commencement of the Term of this Sublease Agreement.  In the event that Smithsonian elects not to self-insure under the Prime Lease, it shall obtain from its insurance company a rider waiving all rights of subrogation against Genocea, as applicable, and shall provide Genocea with evidence thereof.

 

12. BROKERAGE COMMISSION. Genocea and Smithsonian each warrant and represent to the other that it has not dealt with any realtor, broker or agent in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, and to the extent permitted by law, each party agrees to pay and to hold the other harmless from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other commission arising from or out of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

A. Genocea will, at its expense, obtain and keep in force at all times a policy of commercial general liability insurance (written on an occurrence basis) including contractual liability coverage, premises and options coverage, and broad form property damage coverage, and containing an endorsement for personal injury.

Receipt by Smithsonian of notices, reports, or any other information or documentation required herein shall not impose any responsibility on Smithsonian to supervise the affairs of Genocea nor relieve Genocea of its responsibility to comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations. The rights and remedies of Smithsonian provided in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies which may be available to Smithsonian by law or under this agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Genocea hereby indemnifies Smithsonian and Prime Landlord and its officers, agents, representatives, and employees from all claims, loss, damage, actions, causes of action, expense and/or liability, including the cost of defense, resulting from, brought for, or on account of any violation of this clause.

 

22. NO PARTNERSHIP. This Agreement does not constitute and shall not be construed as constituting a partnership or joint venture between Smithsonian and Genocea. Except as may be set forth herein, neither party shall have the right to obligate or bind the other in any manner whatsoever nor nothing herein contained shall give or is intended to give any rights of any kind to any third persons.

 

23. APPLICABLE LAW.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the applicable federal laws and laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which shall also be the forum for any lawsuit under this Agreement, regardless of its place of execution or performance.

 

24. ESTOPPEL. Genocea agrees, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written request by Smithsonian or Prime Landlord, to acknowledge, execute and deliver to Prime Landlord, any prospective purchaser, and any mortgagee or ground lessor an estoppel certificate as required by Section 9.5 of the Prime Lease.

 

25. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all previous agreements in this matter. There are no other written or oral agreements, representations or understandings with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

 LEASE OF PREMISES

 

Section 2.1.                                 Lease Of The Premises.  Landlord does hereby lease the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord, upon and subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease and all zoning ordinances, and easements, restrictions, and conditions of record.  Landlord represents to Tenant that the Project is zoned Special District 4, that the uses permitted in such zoning district include all categories of Office and Laboratory Use set forth in the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance (e.g. general office use, technical office for research and development, laboratory and research facility, subject to the restrictions on limited manufacturing set forth in Exhibit G), and that the Project includes a sufficient number of parking spaces to comply with the parking requirements of the City of Cambridge applicable to the Project.

 

Section 2.2.                                 Common Rights.  The Premises are leased subject to, and with the benefit of, the non-exclusive right to use in common with others at any time entitled thereto the Common Areas and Common Facilities for all such purposes as such areas may be reasonably designated, but only in connection with lawful business in the Building and in accordance with the Rules and Regulations.  Landlord shall have the right from time to time to designate or change the number, locations, size or configuration of the Buildings, including, without limitation, the Common Areas, exits and entrances, and to modify or replace the Common Facilities, and to permit expansion and new construction therein, provided that the same would not have a material adverse effect on Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises.  Tenant shall not have the right to use those portions of the Common Areas designated from time to time by Landlord as for the exclusive use of one or more other tenants, provided that Landlord shall not make such a designation as would materially adversely affect Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises.

Section 2.3.                                 Parking.  Subject to the Rules and Regulations, Tenant’s Invitees are authorized to use 2.6 parking spaces in the Parking Areas per 1,000 square feet of the Premises, including the Expansion Space if added to the Premises (“Tenant’s Parking Spaces”).  Landlord shall designate Tenant’s Parking Spaces in Parking Areas in the vicinity of the Premises as reserved for the exclusive use of Tenant’s Invitees.  There shall be no charge to Tenant for the use of surface parking spaces in the Parking Areas.  For the use of parking spaces in any garage/structured parking spaces now or hereafter included in the Parking Areas, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly parking charge, in addition to Base Rent, for each such parking space based on the fair market charge for similar spaces, as determined and adjusted by Landlord from time to time in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that there shall be no charge to Tenant for the use of any garage/structured parking space for the first year that such parking space is allocated to Tenant.  If the Parking Areas now or hereafter include any garage/structured parking spaces, Landlord may allocate Tenant’s Parking Spaces as between the surface parking spaces and garage/structured parking spaces on a pro rata basis (for example, if the parking spaces in the Parking Areas are 50% surface parking spaces and 50% garage/structured parking spaces, Landlord may allocate 50% of Tenant’s Parking Spaces to surface parking spaces and 50% of Tenant’s Parking Spaces to garage/structured parking spaces).  Tenant shall not permit any of its Invitees to park in spaces in the Parking Areas other than Tenant’s Parking Spaces, provided that if Landlord designates spaces in the Parking Areas as being for visitors to the Project generally, Tenant may permit its visitors to use such spaces on a non-exclusive basis with other visitors to the Project.  Except for delivery trucks using designated loading and unloading facilities, Tenant shall not permit any of its Invitees to park any vehicle on the Project other than passenger automobiles and small trucks.  Landlord may, from time to time, designate one or more spaces in the Parking Areas as reserved for the exclusive use of one or more of the tenants of the Project and/or for Landlord’s Invitees.  Parking in the Parking Areas by Tenant’s Invitees shall be at their own risk; provided, however, that Landlord shall be responsible for damage to vehicles of Tenant’s invitees while parked in Parking Areas in accordance with this Section caused by flooding of the Parking Areas, to the extent such damage is not covered by insurance carried by such Tenant’s Invitees.

 

Section 2.4.                                 Commencement Date:  Lease Term:  Extension Terms.

(b)                                 Provided an Event of Default does not then exist, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for two (2) periods of seven (7) years each by giving Landlord written notice specifying each such extension, which notice must be received by Landlord not more than eighteen (18) months nor less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the Initial Term or first Extension Term, as applicable.  If such an extension becomes effective, the Lease Term shall be automatically extended upon the same terms and conditions except that (i) Base Rent shall be payable for such Extension Term as set forth in Section 4.1(b) and (ii) there shall be no further right to extend or renew beyond the second Extension Term.  If Tenant

 

18











 

timely exercises its right to extend the Lease Term for the first Extension Term, then, not later than the commencement of the first Extension Term, Landlord shall recarpet and repaint the Premises with materials of a quality comparable to the then standard for the Project, as selected by Tenant.

 

Section 2.5.                                 Measurement.  Within ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date, Landlord’s Architect, with a representative of Tenant, shall make actual measurements of the Floor Area of the Premises, the Floor Area of the Building and the Floor Area of the Common Areas of the Building.  The Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, the Leasable Square Footage of the Building, the Leasable Square Footage of the Project, the Tenant Improvements Allowance, the Base Rent, Tenant’s Building Share and Tenant’s Project Share shall be adjusted on the basis of such measurements.

 

Section 2.6.                                 Lease Amendment.  if, pursuant to Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8, 8.1 or 11,1 or any other provision of this Lease, there results a change in (or, in the case of the Commencement Date, the confirmation of) any of the terms or amounts in the Summary of Basic Terms (including, without limitation, the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, the Leasable Square Footage of the Building, the Leasable Square Footage of the Project, the Tenant improvements Allowance, the Excess Tenant Improvements Allowance (if applicable), the Base Rent, Tenant’s Building Share or Tenant’s Project Share) then in effect, Landlord and Tenant will promptly execute a written amendment to, and restatement of, the Summary of Basic Terms, substituting the changed (or confirmed) terms and recomputed amounts in lieu of each of the applicable terms and amounts then in effect which have been changed.  As of the effective date of the amendment to the Summary of Basic Terms, the changed terms (and recomputed amounts) will be effective for all purposes of this Lease, and the amended and restated Summary of Basic Terms will be a part of, and incorporated into, this Lease.

 

Section 2.7.                                 Right to Expand Premises.  Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by written notice given by Tenant to Landlord not later than one year after the date of this Lease (such notice being called an “Expansion Notice”), to expand the Premises by adding all of the leasable space on the fifth floor of the Building, containing approximately 23,216 leasable square feet of space (the “Expansion Space”), on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.7.  Tenant understands that, pending an Expansion Notice by Tenant, Landlord will be marketing the Expansion Space.  At such time, if any, not later than one year after the date of this Lease, that Landlord is engaged in serious negotiations with a third party for all or any part of the Expansion Space, as reasonably determined by Landlord in good faith, Landlord may give written notice of such fact to Tenant, and if Tenant does not give an Expansion Notice within five (5) Business Days after Landlord gives such notice to Tenant, Tenant’s option to expand the Premises pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall terminate.  If, as of the date that Landlord receives an effective Expansion Notice, Tenant’s option to expand the Premises pursuant to this Section 2.7 has not terminated, the Expansion Space shall be added to the Premises to the same extent and with the same effect as if the Expansion Space were originally part of the Premises, except that (i) the design process for the Tenant Improvements Work to the Expansion Space shall not commence until after the Expansion Space has been added to the Premises, and (ii) the Expansion Space shall not be included in the Premises for purposes of the definition of Substantial Completion, Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, if the Expansion Space is added to the Premises pursuant to this Section 2.7, Base Rent and

 

19











 

Additional Rent shall commence with respect to the Expansion Space upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Expansion Space, if the Expansion Space is added to the Premises pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises and other elements of this Lease dependent on the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises (such as the Tenant Improvements Allowance, the Excess Tenant improvements Allowance, Base Rent, Tenant’s Project Share and Tenant’s Building Share) shall be adjusted to reflect the Expansion Space.

 

Section 2.8.                                 Right of First Opportunity.

 

(a)                                 Grant of Right.  As of the date of this Lease, the leasable space in the Building other than the Premises (the “ROFO Space”) is unleased.  The ROFO Space consists of all of the leasable space on the sixth floor of the Building, containing approximately 23,216 leasable square feet of space, and, if not then added to the Premises pursuant to Section 2.7, the Expansion Space.  Tenant shall have, and Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, a right of first opportunity to lease any ROFO Space, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.8.  Landlord will not enter into any lease of any ROFO Space with a tenant other than Tenant (a “Third-Party Lease”), unless and until Landlord has given to Tenant a Notice of Availability with respect to such ROFO Space and Tenant has failed to exercise its right to lease such ROFO Space pursuant to Section 2.8(b); provided, however, that Landlord may, not later than one year after the date of this Lease, enter into a Third-Party Lease for the Expansion Space if Tenant’s option to expand the Premises has terminate in accordance with Section 2.7.  The right of first opportunity set forth in this Section 2.8 is in addition to the right to expand the Premises pursuant to Section 2.7.

 

(b)                                 Mechanics for Exercise of Right.  From time to time during the Lease Term as any ROFO Space is, becomes or is about to become available for lease after termination of the applicable First Lease, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant (a “Notice of Availability”) specifying such ROFO Space, the date on or about which such ROFO Space is expected to become available for lease, the effective rent (including Base Rent and Additional Rent, if applicable) at which Landlord is willing to lease the ROFO Space, and such other terms which Landlord desires to specify.  Tenant will not disclose to third parties, other than Tenant’s employees, consultants and other agents who have a need to know, the contents of any Notice of Availability, and Tenant shall cause ail such employees, consultants or agents to respect the confidentiality of the contents thereof.  Unless an Event of Default then exists, Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by written notice given by Tenant and received by Landlord within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord gives to Tenant the subject Notice of Availability, to lease all of such ROFO Space specified in the Notice of Availability on the terms specified therein.

 

(c)                                  Addition of Space to Lease.  If Tenant exercises its right to lease any ROFO Space pursuant to Section 2.8(b), then, as of the date which is the later of (i) ten (10) days after Tenant’s exercise of its right to lease such ROFO Space or (ii) the date specified in the Notice of Availability, such ROFO Space shall be added to and become a part of the Premises and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease; provided, however, that the ROFO Space shall be provided by Landlord to Tenant in “as is” condition, without any responsibility by Landlord to make any improvements or alterations to the ROFO Space; and provided, further, that the terms and conditions of this Lease with respect to such ROFO Space shall be modified

 

20











 

by the terms and conditions specified in the subject Notice of Availability.  Promptly after Tenant exercises its right to lease any ROFO Space pursuant to Section 2.8(b), Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease incorporating such ROFO Space as part of the Premises and incorporating the terms specified in the subject Notice of Availability with respect to such ROFO Space.

 

(d)                                 Lapse of Right.  If, after Landlord gives Tenant a Notice of Availability with respect to any ROFO Space, Landlord does not receive Tenant’s notice of exercise pursuant to Section 2.8(b) within the time specified therein, Tenant’s right of first opportunity provided for in this Section 2.8 with respect to such ROFO Space shall lapse and terminate and Landlord shall be free to enter into a Third-Party Lease with respect to such ROFO Space; provided, however, that when such Third-Party Lease terminates, Tenant’s right of first opportunity with respect to such ROFO Space shall be reinstated and again be effective.

 

(e)                                  Termination of Right.  Tenant’s right of first opportunity provided for in this Section 2.8 shall terminate twelve (12) months before the expiration of the Lease Term.  For purposes of determining the expiration of the Lease Term for purposes of this Section 2.8(e), an Extension Term shall be included only if Tenant has effectively exercised its right to extend for such Extension Term pursuant to Section 2.4(b).  Tenant may exercise its right of first opportunity pursuant to Section 2.8(b) less than eighteen (18) months before the expiration of the Initial Term or first Extension Term, as applicable, only if, prior to (or simultaneously with) the exercise of such right, Tenant shall have made a timely and effective exercise of its right to extend the Lease Term in accordance with Section 2.4(b).

 

(f)                                   Event of Default.  Landlord shall have no obligation to give any Notice of Availability to Tenant at any time that an Event of Default exists, and Tenant shall have no rights under this Section 2.8 if an Event of Default exists on the date on which Tenant attempts to exercise its right to lease any ROFO Space.

24












 

of the date on which Landlord achieves Substantial Completion, on or before the first anniversary of the date on which Landlord achieves substantial completion of the Expansion Space); provided, however, that the period within which Tenant may make a warranty claim shall be extended for an additional year with respect to latent defects.  Nothing herein shall relieve Landlord of its maintenance and repair obligations under this Lease.

 

(g)                                  Construction Representatives.

Section 3.3.                                 Tenant’s Work; Pre-Term Occupancy.  Tenant will perform all work, if any, in addition to Landlord’s Work, as Tenant deems necessary to equip, furnish and use the Premises in accordance with Legal Requirements (any such work being called “Tenant’s Work”).  Tenant’s Work shall commence as soon as Landlord’s Work has progressed to the point at which Tenant’s Work may reasonably begin.  All of Tenant’s Work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner using new and high quality materials, in accordance with Legal Requirements, and in accordance with the requirements of Section 7.5.  If any of Tenant’s Work must be completed as a condition of obtaining a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy to allow Tenant to occupy and use the Premises for the Permitted Use, Tenant shall perform such of Tenant’s Work so as not to delay Substantial Completion.  Tenant shall coordinate the performance of Tenant’s Work with any ongoing Landlord’s Work so as not to interfere with or delay the performance of Landlord’s Work and to maintain harmonious labor relations.

Section 3.4.                                 Signs.  Tenant shall have the right to be identified on the sign at the entrance to the Project and the right to an exterior sign on the Building, provided that each such sign complies with the provisions of this Section and other applicable provisions of this Lease.  Landlord shall not permit any other tenant identification signs to be installed on the exterior of the Building without the written consent of Tenant, which Tenant will not unreasonably withhold.  The location, design, shape, size, materials, color and type and all other matters related to each of Tenant’s signs (other than Tenant’s right to a sign) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval following submission by Tenant to Landlord of detailed plans therefor, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold.  Landlord acknowledges that Landlord has approved Tenant’s sign to be installed on the exterior of the Building in accordance with Exhibit H hereto, subject to compliance with Legal Requirements.  Except for the signs permitted under this Section, Tenant shall not erect any signs which are visible from the exterior of the Building.  Tenant shall not erect signs except in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for confirming that any proposed sign is in compliance with all such requirements.  All costs of obtaining permits and approvals, creating, installing, illuminating, maintaining, repairing, and/or replacing any such sign shall be paid by

 

27











 

Tenant.  Any signs located in the interior of the Building outside of the Premises (i) shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and the sign criteria included in the Rules and Regulations, and (ii) and shall have been approved of in writing and in advance by Landlord (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) following submission of detailed plans by Tenant to Landlord.  Tenant shall maintain its signs in good repair and condition.  Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly remove all of Tenant’s signage and restore all damage related to the installation, existence and/or removal of such signage.

 

Section 3.5.                                 GMT Lab.  The Base Building Work includes the GMT Lab Work.  However, until such time, if any, that this Lease is amended to add the GMT Lab to the Premises, the GMT Lab shall not be a part of the Premises and, for purposes of determining the Leasable Square Footage of the Building and of the Project, shall not be considered a part of the Building.

 

ARTICLE IV
 BASE RENT:  ADDITIONAL RENT

 

Section 4.1.                                 Base Rent.

 

(a)                                 Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the amounts set forth in Item 9 of the Summary of Basic Terms.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     The annual Base Rent per square foot for the first Extension Term will be the sum of (A) the annual Base Rent per square foot for the Initial Term plus (B) fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the annual Market Rent per square foot, determined in accordance with this Section 4.1(b), exceeds such annual Base Rent per square foot for the Initial Term; provided, however, that in no event shall the annual Base Rent per square foot for the first Extension Term be less than the annual Base Rent per square foot for the Initial Term.  The annual Base Rent per square foot for the second Extension Term will be the annual Market Rent per square foot, determined in accordance with this Section 4.1(b); provided, however, that in no event shall the annual Base Rent per square foot for the second Extension Term be less than the annual Base Rent per square foot for the first Extension Term.  Within sixty (60) days after Tenant gives to Landlord written notice of exercise of an extension option pursuant to Section 2.4(b), Landlord and Tenant shall simultaneously exchange proposals setting forth their opinions as to the annual fair market rent per square foot for the Premises for the applicable Extension Term (“Market Rent”).  Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith until the later of:  (X) fifteen (15) days after the exchange of proposals or (V) the end of the ninth (9th) Lease Year (if Market Rent is being determined for the first Extension Term) or the end of the sixteenth (16th) Lease Year (if Market Rent is being determined for the second Extension Term) (such period being herein called the “Negotiation Period”) to attempt to agree upon the Market Rent, and, in the course of such negotiations, each party may from time to time submit modified proposals to the other.  If the parties agree upon the Market Rent prior to the determination of the arbitrator pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(ii), whether such agreement is reached during or after the Negotiation Period, the Market Rent shall be as so agreed.

 

(ii)                                  If the parties are unable to agree upon the Market Rent within the Negotiation Period, then each party shall, upon selection of an arbitrator pursuant to Section 4.1

 

28











 

(b)(iii), simultaneously exchange and submit to the arbitrator for binding arbitration a proposal as to the Market Rent.  The “Market Rent” shall be determined as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Term at the then current arms-length negotiated rentals being charged to new (or renewal tenants for renewals and extensions which do not have pre-negotiated contract rents) for comparable space in comparable buildings located in the City of Cambridge, taking into account and giving effect to, in determining comparability, without limitation, such considerations as lease term and the age, size, location, condition, and amenities of the Building.  The Market Rent may include escalations at various points during the applicable Extension Term.  For purposes of such determination, the Premises shall be considered to be vacant and to be rented as a whole for its highest and best use with the degree of finishes and level of leasehold improvements then generally afforded as “building standard” by landlords in the City of Cambridge.  The arbitrator shall also consider and incorporate into the computation the existing improvements to the Premises.  Neither party shall be deemed under any compulsion to rent or lease space.  The arbitrator shall not have the right to modify any other provision of the Lease except Base Rent.  Within thirty (30) days after both parties have submitted such proposals to the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall select one of the proposals as more closely approximating the Market Rent appropriate for the applicable Extension Term, and, unless the parties have then agreed upon the Market Rent, the proposed Market Rent set forth in such proposal selected by the arbitrator shall be deemed to be the Market Rent.  Notwithstanding the above provisions of this paragraph to the contrary, if the proposals as to Market Rent to be submitted by the parties to the arbitrator are not separated by more than ten percent (10%) of the lower proposal, then the Market Rent shall be the mean average of the two proposals and shall not be determined by arbitration.

 

(iii)                               If the parties are unable to agree upon the Market Rent within the Negotiation Period, then the parties shall, within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Negotiation Period (such fifteen (15) day period being herein called the “Selection Period”), attempt to agree upon an arbitrator to whom to submit the determination of Market Rent for binding arbitration pursuant to Section 4.1 (b)(ii).  If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within the Selection Period, then, at the end of the Selection Period, each party shall select an arbitrator and, within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Selection Period, the arbitrators shall agree upon an arbitrator to whom the determination of Market Rent shall be submitted for binding arbitration pursuant to Section 4.1 (b)(ii).  If such arbitrators are unable to agree promptly upon an arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.  Any arbitrator selected by either party, by the arbitrators selected by the parties or by the American Arbitration Association shall be independent of both parties and shall have such experience, either as a licensed real estate broker or salesperson or as an appraiser, as would qualify such arbitrator as an expert with respect to leasing terms in the City of Cambridge.  Such arbitrator shall make the determination required pursuant to Section 4.1 (b)(ii) within thirty (30) days of selection.  The parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrator to whom the determination of Market Rent is submitted.  Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fee of the arbitrator selected by it.  In making its determination of Market Rent, the arbitrator shall not make any downward adjustment to account for any savings to be realized by Landlord with respect to leasing commissions.

 

(c)                                  Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments of one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual Base Rent then in effect and shall be paid without offset for any reason

 

29











 

except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month from and after the Rent Commencement Date.  Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid as specified by Landlord either (i) by an “electronic funds transfer” system arranged by and among Tenant, Tenant’s bank and Landlord, or (ii) by check sent to Landlord’s office c/o “Robert A.  Schlager,” or at such other place as Landlord shall from time to time designate in writing.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations owing by Tenant under this Section 4.1 are rent reserved under this Lease, for all purposes hereunder, and are rent reserved within the meaning of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision thereto.

 

Section 4.2.                                 Certain Additional Rent.  Tenant shall pay, without offset for any reason, all payments of Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.  If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies available for failure to pay Base Rent.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations owing by Tenant under this Section are rent reserved under this Lease, for all purposes hereunder, and are rent reserved within the meaning of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision thereto.

 

Section 4.3.                                 Taxes.

 

(a)                                 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of Taxes (being Tenant’s Building Share of Building Taxes and Tenant’s Project Share of Project Taxes).  Such amounts shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end of each Tax Fiscal Year, and shall be payable to Landlord in equal estimated monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term, subject to readjustment from time to time as reasonably determined by Landlord and when the actual amounts are determined.  After readjustment, any shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of demand by Landlord and any excess shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred, be credited against future Additional Rent obligations, or refunded if the Lease Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord.  If the taxing authority provides an estimated tax bill, then monthly installments of Taxes shall be based thereon until the final tax bill is ascertained.  Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, upon Tenant’s request, but not more than once in any year, a copy of the most recent tax bill and any estimated tax bill.

 

(b)                                 If, after Tenant shall have made any payment under this Section 4.3, Landlord shall receive a refund (the “Refund”) of any portion of the Taxes paid on account of any Tax Fiscal Year in which such payments shall have been made as a result of an abatement of such Taxes, by final determination of legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after receiving the Refund, pay to Tenant (unless an Event of Default has occurred) an amount equal to (i) Tenant’s Share of the Refund, which payment to Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted if Tenant’s Share of Taxes covered a shorter period than covered by the Refund, less (ii) Tenant’s Share of all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such proceedings (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, costs and appraisers’ fees).

 

(c)                                  Landlord will initiate and pursue tax abatement proceedings when, in Landlord’s commercially reasonable judgment, such proceedings are advisable (including by

 

30











 

reason of Tenant’s non-profit status).  Landlord shall have sole control of all tax abatement proceedings.

 

(d)                                 If the Commencement Date is not on July 1, or the expiration or termination of this Lease is not on June 30, Tenant’s obligation in respect of Taxes shall be prorated.  If the final tax bill for the Tax Fiscal Year in which such expiration or termination of this Lease occurs shall not have been received by Landlord, then within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the tax bill for such Tax Fiscal Year, Landlord and Tenant shall make appropriate adjustments of estimated payments.

 

(e)                                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall pay all rent and personal property taxes attributable to its signs or any other personal property including but not limited to its trade fixtures, the existing or any future floor coverings, wall treatments and light fixtures in the Premises.

 

Section 4.4.                                 Insurance Costs.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, amounts equal to Tenant’s Project Share of Project Insurance Costs and Tenant’s Building Share of Building Insurance Costs.  Tenant’s Project Share of Project Insurance Costs and Tenant’s Building Share of Building Insurance Costs shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end of each calendar year, and shall be payable in equal estimated monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term, subject to readjustment from time to time as reasonably determined by Landlord and also when actual Project Insurance Costs and Building Insurance Costs are determined.  After a readjustment, any shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of demand by Landlord and any excess shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred, be credited against future Additional Rent obligations, or refunded promptly if the Lease Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord.  Landlord shall provide Tenant upon request with reasonable supporting documentation for the Insurance Costs.

 

Section 4.5.                                 Operating Costs.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, amounts equal to Tenant’s Project Share of Project Operating Costs and Tenant’s Building Share of Building Operating Costs.  Tenant’s Project Share of Project Operating Costs and Tenant’s Building Share of Building Operating Costs shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end of each calendar year, and shall be payable in equal estimated monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term, subject to readjustment from time to time as determined by Landlord and also when actual Project Operating Costs and Building Operating Costs are determined.  After a readjustment, any shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of demand by Landlord and any excess shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred, be credited against future Additional Rent obligations, or refunded promptly if the Lease Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord.  Landlord shall provide Tenant upon request with reasonable supporting documentation for the Operating Costs.

 

Section 4.6.                                 Tenant’s Utility Costs.  Landlord shall, to the extent practical, cause the Premises to be separately metered or submetered for electric and gas use, including, without limitation, with respect to all variable air volume (“VAV”) boxes and pre-heaters, HVAC equipment and systems, lighting and outlets serving the Premises.  If the Premises are separately

 

31











 

metered or submetered such that the utility provider bills Tenant directly for Tenant’s Utility Costs, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Utility Costs directly to the utility provider promptly as due and payable.  If the Premises are separately metered or submetered such that the utility provider bills Landlord for electric service provided to the Building and Landlord bills Tenant for Tenant’s Utility Costs, Tenant shall pay such bills for Tenant’s Utility Costs within thirty (30) days after receipt.

 

Section 4.7.                                 Tenant’s Audit Rights.  Annually, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a report setting forth in reasonable detail the Project Operating Costs, Building Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and Taxes for the immediately preceding calendar year (in the case of Operating Costs and Insurance Costs) or Tax Fiscal Year (in the case of Taxes).  Tenant shall have the right to audit Landlord’s books and records relating to Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and/or Taxes with respect to the period covered by each such report within six (6) months after receipt of such report (such six (6) month period being called the “Audit Period”) by delivering a notice of its intention to perform such audit to Landlord.  If, as a result of such audit, Tenant believes that it is entitled to receive a refund of any Additional Rent paid by Tenant in respect of Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and/or Taxes, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, no later than thirty (30) days after expiration of the Audit Period, a notice demanding such a refund, together with a statement of the grounds for each such demand and the amount of each proposed refund.  The cost of any such audit shall be paid by Tenant, except that, if it is established that the Additional Rent in respect of Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and Taxes charged to Tenant for the period in question was overstated by more than five percent (5.0%), the reasonable cost of such audit shall be paid or reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord.  An overstatement shall not be deemed to exist due to a Refund.  Any audit shall be performed by either (a) Tenant’s regular employees or (b) a reputable certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord whose compensation is not, directly or indirectly, contingent in whole or in part on the results of the audit.  If Landlord determines that a report previously furnished by Landlord was in error, Landlord may furnish a corrective or supplemental report to Tenant within two years after the original report was furnished, and if such corrective or supplemental report results in increased Additional Rent, the Audit Period for the year covered by such report shall be extended for six (6) months after Landlord furnishes the corrective or supplemental report.

Subject to Tenant’s obligations under Section 7.4, Landlord shall operate, maintain and repair the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system, the plumbing system and the electrical system of the Building.  Landlord shall provide heating and air conditioning services to the Premises to heat and cool the Premises at temperatures in accordance with ASHRAE standards.

 

(c)                                  Water and Sewer.  Cold and hot water at standard Building temperatures will be available for ordinary drinking, cleaning, sanitary and lavatory purposes.  If Tenant requires or uses water for any purpose in addition to such ordinary purposes, Landlord may install a water meter at Tenant’s expense and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption.  Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, on demand the cost of all water consumption so metered, including without limitation any and all sewer rents, taxes or levies assessed by any governmental authority or utility in connection with metered consumption.  Such meter and installation equipment shall be maintained in good working order and repair at Tenant’s expense.  Any water or sewer services charged directly to other tenants of the Building shall not be included in Operating Costs.

(f)                                   Waste Removal.  Landlord shall provide or arrange for ordinary and reasonable waste removal services for the Building.  In the event that Landlord determines that Tenant’s quantity of waste is excessive in comparison to other tenants of the Building, or, in the event that Landlord determines that Tenant’s waste is other than waste generated by typical office use, Landlord may bill Tenant directly as Additional Rent for any such additional cost therefor or require that Tenant be responsible for disposing of its own waste.

 

(g)                                  Janitorial Services.  Landlord shall supply routine janitorial services for the Premises, as provided in Exhibit I hereto, and Common Areas.

Section 6.2.                                 Extraordinary Use.  Tenant acknowledges that the services to be supplied by Landlord after occupancy by Tenant will be sufficient only for ordinary office uses and for use as a laboratory for astronomy.  Any additional capacity or structural support, as determined by Landlord, needed for uses beyond such uses, shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

Section 6.3.                                 Interruption:  Delay.  Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure or interruption of any such repairs or services referred to in this Article VI, or for any interruption in utility services, caused by breakage, accident, strikes, repairs, inability after exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain supplies or otherwise furnish services, or for any cause or causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (but Landlord, in respect of those matters for which Landlord is responsible, will use reasonable efforts to restore such services or make such repairs as soon as possible), nor in any event for any indirect or consequential damages; and failure or omission on the part of Landlord to furnish such service or make such repair shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor render Landlord liable in damages, nor entitle Tenant to an abatement of Base Rent or Additional Rent, nor release Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any of its covenants under this Lease, except as provided in Articles X and XI with respect to eminent domain and damage by fire or other casualty.

ARTICLE VII
  CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT

 

Section 7.1.                                 Rent.  Tenant will promptly pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent, including without limitation any and all fees, charges, expenses, fines, assessments or other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord (or to the applicable provider of utilities) at the time and in the manner provided for in this Lease, all of which shall be deemed to be obligations to pay Base Rent or Additional Rent.

 

Section 7.2.                                 Utilities.  In addition to gas and electricity which is the subject of Section 4.6 and water and sewer which is the subject of Section 6.1(c), Landlord reserves the right to cause any or all of Tenant’s other utilities to be separately metered or submetered.  In the event that Tenant is billed directly by a utility provider, then Tenant shall pay such bills directly to such utility provider prior to their due dates, in the event Tenant’s utility usage is separately metered or sub-metered by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the billed charges therefor to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s billing therefor.  In the event Tenant’s utility usage is not separately metered, then, except for Tenant’s Utility Costs, Tenant shall pay for such usage as a part of the Operating Costs.  Tenant agrees that its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of existing feeders, risers and wiring installations in the Building.  Tenant shall not make or perform any alterations to wiring, installations, lighting fixtures or other electrical facilities in any manner without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay.  Any risers or wiring to meet Tenant’s excess electrical requirements, if requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord, will be installed by Landlord at Tenant’s expense.

 

Section 7.3.                                 No Waste.  Tenant shall not overload, damage or deface the Premises nor shall it suffer or permit the same to be done, nor shall it commit any waste.

 

Section 7.4.                                 Maintenance:  Repairs:  and Yield-Up.  Tenant will keep the Premises neat and clean and maintain the same in good repair, condition and appearance, subject to damage by fire or other casualty.  Tenant’s obligation to so maintain and repair the Premises shall apply to all of the Premises, including, without limitation, all doors, glass, fixtures, interior walls, floors, ceilings, and any other systems exclusively serving the Premises, other than the HVAC system serving the Premises.  There is excepted from Tenant’s obligations under this Section only (a) damage to such portions of the Premises not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease and originally constructed by Landlord, and (b) repairs and work which are otherwise the specific responsibility of Landlord hereunder.  At the end of the Lease Term or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably surrender and deliver up the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, with all utilities safely capped, and in good repair and condition, subject to damage by fire or other casualty, and removing all signs and lettering and all personal property, goods and effects belonging to Tenant or anyone claiming through or under Tenant.  Tenant shall cause all maintenance and repair work to conform to applicable governmental laws, rules, regulations, orders and requirements of public authorities.  Tenant shall keep the Premises clear of all filth, trash and refuse.  If Tenant fails to perform Tenant’s obligations under the above provisions of

 

36











 

this Section, then Landlord will have the right (but not the obligation), without waiving any default by Tenant, to cause such obligations to be performed upon not less than three (3) days prior written notice to Tenant (or a shorter period of prior written notice, or a contemporaneous written notice, if appropriate in Landlord’s reasonable judgment in light of the nature of Tenant’s obligations to be performed), giving Tenant the opportunity to have its representative observe the performance of such obligations if practical, and if Landlord causes any of such obligations to be performed as permitted above, the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent upon demand.

 

Section 7.5.                                 Alterations by Tenant.  Tenant will not make any change in, or addition to, the Premises without first obtaining, on each occasion, Landlord’s consent in writing as provided below (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and then only at Tenant’s expense, and in a lawful manner and upon such terms and conditions as Landlord, by such writing, shall reasonably approve, which shall include, without limitation, (a) maintenance of insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (b) compliance with Sections 7.9, 7.11 and 7.13; provided, however, that Tenant may, upon prior written notice to, but without the requirement of consent of, Landlord, make the following alterations or additions (“Permitted Alterations”):  (i) alterations or additions which (1) are non-structural, (2) do not penetrate or otherwise affect the roof of the Building, (3) do not affect the systems of the Building, and (4) are not reasonably anticipated to cost more than $100,000, either singly or in the aggregate, in any calendar year; and (ii) alterations which are purely cosmetic in nature, such as paint, wall covering, carpeting and the like, regardless of cost.  .  Any alteration or addition shall be consistent in appearance with the rest of the Building and the Project and shall be made only after duly obtaining (and providing to Landlord copies of) all required permits and licenses from all governmental authorities.  Other than with respect to Permitted Alterations, Tenant will deliver to Landlord in writing a schedule setting forth the details and location of all such proposed alterations or additions and detailed plans and specifications.  The contractor(s) performing the work, other than Permitted Alterations, shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld.  If required by Landlord’s lender, Tenant shall provide a statutory lien bond with respect to such work.  All approved repairs, installations, alterations, additions or other improvements made by Tenant shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner, between such hours as approved in writing by Landlord, and in such a way that utilities will not be interrupted and other tenants and occupants of the Project will not suffer unreasonable inconvenience or interference as determined by Landlord.  Tenant’s Invitees shall be given such reasonable access to other portions of the Building and the mechanical systems as may be necessary or appropriate to perform such work.  Both during and after the performance of any such work, Landlord shall have free access to any and all mechanical installations in the Premises, including, but not limited to, air conditioning, fans, ventilating systems, machine rooms and electrical closets; and Tenant agrees not to construct or permit the installation of partitions and/or other obstructions in the Premises which might interfere with Landlord’s free access to the Premises or Building, or impede the free flow of air to and from air vents and other portions of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems in the Building.  Unless Landlord elects otherwise, but subject to Section 7.6, all installations, alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises shall be the property of Landlord and shall remain upon, and be surrendered with, the Premises at the end of the Lease Term or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

37











 

Section 7.6.                                 Trade Fixtures and Equipment.  Any trade Fixtures installed in, or attached to, the Premises by, and at the expense of, Tenant, shall remain the property of Tenant, if the same may be removed without damage to, or destruction of, the Premises.  Tenant shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the Lease Term, to remove any and all of its trade fixtures, which it may have installed in, or attached to, the Premises, during the Lease Term.  In addition, prior to the end of the Lease Term or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s trade fixtures unless Landlord gives Tenant a written waiver for same.  At any time that Tenant removes any of its trade fixtures, Tenant shall promptly repair the Building as a result of any damage to, or destruction of, the Building caused by the removal of any of its trade fixtures.

 

Section 7.7.                                 Compliance with Laws.  Tenant, in its use of the Premises and at its sole expense, shall comply with all laws, orders and regulations of Federal, State, County and City authorities, and with any direction of any public officer or officers, pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all Legal Requirements related to the use, storage, discharge, release, removal or existence of Hazardous Materials.  Tenant agrees that the Premises shall be kept in a sanitary and safe condition in accordance with ail applicable Federal and State laws and the by-laws, rules, regulations and ordinances of the City of Cambridge, and in accordance with all directions, rules and regulations of the Health Officer, Fire Marshall, Building Inspector and other proper officers of the governmental agencies having jurisdiction thereover.

 

Section 7.8.                                 Contents at Tenant’s Risk.  All inventory, equipment, goods, merchandise, furniture, fixtures and property of every kind which may be on or about the Premises shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and if the whole or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, water or otherwise, or by the use or abuse of water or by the leaking or bursting of water pipes, or by rising water, or by roof or other structural leak, or by loss of electrical service, or in any other way or manner, no part of such loss or damage shall be charged to or borne by Landlord in any case whatsoever, except that to the extent required by applicable Massachusetts law, the foregoing shall not exculpate the Landlord from its own negligent acts or omissions.  Tenant agrees to maintain full and adequate insurance coverage on all of its property at the Premises and in the remainder of the Building, including physical damage, theft and business interruption insurance, or Tenant shall be a self-insurer thereof, in which case Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing and shall be fully responsible for all such damage, and shall save harmless Landlord from any loss, cost, expense, damage or liability resulting from Tenant’s failure to have such insurance as required in this Lease.  Such insurance on Tenant’s property shall contain a waiver of subrogation clause in favor of Landlord, or shall name Landlord as an additional insured for the sole purpose of preventing a subrogation claim against Landlord.  If Tenant is a self-insurer, in whole or in part, Landlord shall be entitled to the same benefits it would have enjoyed had insurance covering the loss in full with a waiver of subrogation clause been in effect, or as if the Landlord has been named on insurance covering the loss in frill as an additional insured for the purpose of preventing a subrogation claim.

 

Section 7.9.                                 Exoneration, Hold Harmless and Insurance.  Tenant will exonerate, defend, save and hold harmless Landlord (and any and all Persons claiming by, through or under Landlord) from and against all claims, proceedings, defenses thereof, liabilities, costs, and expenses of any kind and nature, including legal fees, arising from:  (i) any breach of this Lease by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Invitees or other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant;

 

38











 

and/or (ii) any misconduct or negligence of any of Tenant’s Invitees, or arising from any accident, injury or damage occurring in, on or about the Project, which such accident, damage or injury results or is claimed to have resulted from the negligence or misconduct on the part of any of Tenant’s Invitees. This exoneration and hold harmless agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.

 

From and after any pre-term occupancy by Tenant, if any, allowed by Landlord, and thereafter during the Lease Term and any period of holding over, Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect a policy of commercial general liability insurance under which Landlord (and its designees) and Landlord’s mortgagee(s) are named as additional insureds.  Each such policy shall be non-cancelable with respect to Landlord without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to any pre-term occupancy, prior to the Commencement Date and thereafter at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any then effective coverage a satisfactory written certificate of insurance coverages or the renewal or replacement of such coverages.  The minimum limits of liability of such insurance shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence.  Tenant shall not permit any contractor to do any work at or furnish any materials to be incorporated into the Premises, whether or not included In Tenant’s Work, without first delivering to Landlord satisfactory evidence of the Contractor’s commercial general liability insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, automobile insurance and, if required by Landlord’s lender, statutory lien bonds, each reasonably acceptable to Landlord and complying with any insurance specifications provided by Landlord.  All insurance requirements imposed upon Tenant or its contractors under this Lease shall be subject to the further requirement that the forms of coverage and the insurers providing the insurance be licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, be in sound financial condition, carry an A- or better Best’s rating, and be reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant, or to those Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of Persons occupying or using adjoining premises or any part of the Project, or otherwise, or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or those Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, or its or their property, except that the foregoing shall not exculpate the Landlord from acts of its own negligence.

 

Tenant voluntarily assumes responsibility for property damage or bodily injury including death that is sustained as a result of the negligence of Tenant or its Invitees.  The Smithsonian Institution, of which Tenant is a unit, as a trust instrumentality of the United States, is covered by the Federal Tort Claims Act.  As such, the exclusive remedy for claims against Tenant for bodily injury, death and property damage due to negligence of Tenant or its employees is the Federal Tort Claims Act, which carries no limit of liability.  The General Counsel of The Smithsonian Institution is authorized to settle all claims against Tenant for damage to property, personal injury or death caused by the negligent act or failure to act of an employee of Tenant in the course of his/her employment cognizable under the Federal Tort Claims Act, as amended; and in some instances, this may be the exclusive remedy.

 

Section 7.10.                          Landlord’s Access.  Landlord and its representatives shall have the right without charge to it and without reduction in Base Rent or Additional Rent, upon reasonable notice, at reasonable times and in such manner as shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business, to enter the Premises for any reasonable purpose (including, without limitation,

 

39











 

showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, tenants and lenders) and to make entry for the purpose of investigating repair or maintenance problems and to make such repairs or changes as Landlord deems advisable, and to maintain, use, repair, replace, relocate or introduce pipes, ducts, wires, meters and any other Landlord’s fixtures serving or to serve the Premises or other parts of the Project (which shall be installed above ceilings, behind walls, along existing columns, or in other areas which do not interfere with Tenant’s business), or to maintain or repair any portion of the Project, and, in case of an emergency, whether resulting from circumstances in the Premises or elsewhere on the Project, Landlord or its representatives may enter the Premises (forcibly, if necessary) at any lime to take such measures as may be needed to cope with such emergency.  Such access shall include, but not be limited to, the right to open floors, walls, ceilings, and building systems for the foregoing purposes.  Other than where impractical in case of an emergency, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable opportunity to have a Tenant’s representative accompany Landlord during any access to the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section.

 

Section 7.11.                          No Liens.  Tenant shall not permit any mechanics’, laborers’ or materialmen’s liens to stand against the Project or Tenant’s interests in the Premises, this Lease, or the estate created hereby for any labor or materials furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed in or on the Premises by or at the direction or sufferance of Tenant.  Landlord may condition the right of Tenant to do Tenant’s work or to do any other work which could result in a lien upon the Project or Tenant’s interests in the Premises, this Lease, or the estate created hereby on the delivery and recording of statutory lien bonds (if required by Landlord’s lender) or indemnities satisfactory to Landlord.

 

Section 7.12.                          Compliance with Rules and Regulations.  Tenant covenants that all of its Invitees will comply with the Rules and Regulations and all other reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time hereafter promulgate to regulate the conduct generally of all the tenants of the Building.  Landlord, however, shall have the reasonable right to change the Rules and Regulations and to waive any one or more of them in the case of any one or more tenants.  Landlord shall enforce the Rules and Regulations, if at all, in a non-discriminatory manner.

 

Section 7.13.                          Use of Union Labor.  The Project is subject to financing which requires that only contractors and subcontractors subject to collective bargaining agreements with unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Department (or any successor organization) may be employed to perform the following work with respect to the Project to the extent such work is the responsibility of Landlord or is funded directly or indirectly from proceeds of a loan made by The Union Labor Life Insurance Company to Landlord:  (i) construction of any kind as to new buildings and new structures (including parking structures); (ii) any major renovation, rehabilitation or improvement of existing buildings and structures, including any major alteration or expansion of the Premises, including tenant improvements related to such work; (iii) replacement of any roof; (iv) major repair or replacement of any HVAC system; (v) elevator or escalator repair or maintenance; and (vi) repair, replacement or installation of electric panel boards and entry service cables.

 

40











 

Section 7.14.                          Further Construction.  Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to construct an expansion or additional phase of the Building (an “Addition”), if Landlord elects to construct an Addition, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in connection with Landlord’s plans to construct the Addition and the construction of the Addition, and neither Tenant nor any of its invitees shall take any action which will interfere with such plans or construction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant agrees to provide such assistance and cooperation as Landlord may request, from time to time, in order for Landlord to timely obtain all licenses, permits, approvals and certificates of occupancy as may be necessary and/or appropriate in connection with an Addition.  Landlord shall plan the construction of any Addition and related staging in a manner reasonable under the circumstances to minimize (to the extent consistent with the efficient performance of such construction) any material interference with Tenant’s access to and/or use of the Premises during the performance of such construction, which planning shall include reasonable advance written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s construction activities which are likely to disturb Tenant’s ongoing experiments or lab work in the Premises to facilitate the taking of protective steps by Tenant.  Tenant acknowledges that, from time to time, dust, noise, vibrations, water leakage and interruptions to power and other utilities (including water and sewer) and/or inability to maintain the temperature in the Building at customary levels may, among other construction-related interference, occur in connection with the construction of an Addition.  Tenant is responsible to safeguard, insure and protect adequately its property (including any sensitive electronic equipment and computers) during the construction process and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect damage or loss suffered by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s construction activities provided that they are undertaken in a manner consistent with this Section.  Tenant shall notify Landlord if any such construction-related interference should occur.  Upon receipt of written notice from Tenant, Landlord shall undertake those measures reasonable under the circumstances to minimize (to the extent consistent with the efficient performance of Landlord’s construction) any material interference with Tenant’s access and/or use of the Premises during the performance of any such construction by Landlord.  Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent or to claim any constructive eviction as a result of Landlord’s construction activities.

Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises under the circumstance described in Section 8.1(b)(i), and Landlord will consent to the assignment of this Lease to a Permitted Transferee under the circumstances described in Section 8.1(b)(ii); otherwise, the consent of Landlord to an assignment, sublease or other transaction covered by this Section 8.1(a) will be within Landlord’s sole discretion.  As used herein, the term “assign” or “assignment” shall be deemed to include, without limitation:  (i) any transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease by operation of law or the merger or consolidation of Tenant with or into any other firm or corporation; or (ii) the transfer or sate of a

 

41











 

controlling interest in Tenant (whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions) and whether by sale of its capital stock or otherwise, other than by reason of a sale of a portion of the capital stock of Tenant to raise capital which does not result in a change in the day-to-day control of Tenant.

 

(b)                                 (i) Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any assignment of this Lease or any sublease of all or any part of the Premises, so long as (A) the assignment or sublease will not violate the terms of (1) any lease affecting the Project or (2) any agreement, instrument, law, rule, regulation or requirement which is binding upon Landlord and/or the Project; (B) the assignee or subtenant and its proposed use is of a character consistent with the Project; (C) the assignee’s or subtenant’s proposed use is permitted under the terms of this Lease; (D) the assignee or subtenant is qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and has all applicable permits and licenses to do business from the Premises; (E) Tenant pays to Landlord all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses arising out of such assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees; (F) there does not then exist an Event of Default; (G) each of Landlord’s mortgagees has consented in writing to such assignment or sublease if such mortgagee’s consent is required pursuant to the terms of the applicable financing documents (and Landlord will use diligent efforts to obtain any such consent); (H) if a sublease, there are not more than a total of three (3) subtenants, including the proposed subtenant under the proposed sublease, in occupancy of the Premises or portions thereof; and (I) if a sublease, the proposed sublease prohibits any assignment of the sublease or any sub-sublease of any portion of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord.

 

(i)                                     Landlord will consent to an assignment of this Lease to a Permitted Transferee, so long as:  (1) the assignee is qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and has all applicable permits and licenses to do business from the Premises; (2) Tenant pays to Landlord all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses arising out of such assignment, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees; and (3) there does not then exist an Event of Default and no Event of Default will be created as a result of the proposed assignment or the proposed use by the assignee.

 

(c)                                  In the event of any permitted assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable with the new tenant for the payment of any and all Base Rent and Additional Rent which may become due by the terms of this Lease and for the performance of ail covenants, agreements and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder.  Tenant shall also pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any rent received as a result of the assignment or sublease which exceeds the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder on a per square foot basis, after taking into account the costs of the assignment or sublease amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of this Lease.  No such assignment or sublease shall be valid or effective unless and until (i) the new tenant and Tenant execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, pursuant to which inter alia, such new tenant (A) assumes all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (B) if a sublease, agrees to execute and deliver such estoppel certificates and subordination agreements in the same forms as Landlord may require of Tenant under this Lease, (C) if a sublease, acknowledges that Landlord has no obligations to new tenant under this Lease, the sublease or otherwise and (D) agrees to maintain the same insurance coverages as the insurance coverages which Tenant is required to maintain

 

42











 

under this Lease and to provide evidence thereof to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease; and (ii) the new tenant delivers to Landlord evidence of the insurance coverages required to be maintained by such new tenant under the agreement referenced in clause (i) above.  No modification of the terms of this Lease or any course of dealing between Landlord and any assignee or sublessee of Tenant’s interest herein shall operate to release or impair Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII or other provisions of this Lease, in the event that Tenant seeks Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease, other than to a Permitted Transferee, or a sublease of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease (or if the request is for a sublease of less than all of the Premises, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may terminate this Lease as to the portion requested to be sublet and Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease to modify the Premises and to adjust Base Rent and Tenant’s Share based upon the approximate remaining leasable square footage to the Leasable Square Footage of the Building and the Project).  In such an event, Landlord may enter into a new lease with the proposed assignee or sublessee or any other party on any terms and provisions acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion for the Premises or the portion of the Premises released from this Lease.  Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 8.1(d) to the contrary, if Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease in whole or in part under this Section 8.1(d), Tenant may, by written notice given to Landlord within three (3) Business Days after Landlord exercises such option, withdraw Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to the subject assignment or sublease, in which event this Lease shall not terminate.

 

(e)                                  Tenant shall not enter into any arrangements with any subtenant or assignee to circumvent, or which have the effect of circumventing, (i) Tenant obligation to share rents received from a sublease or assignment or (ii) any other provisions of this Article VIII.

 

ARTICLE IX
  RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES AND GROUND LESSORS:  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

 

Section 9.1.                                 Subordination to Mortgages and Ground Leases.  Tenant agrees that this Lease is and shall be and remain subordinate to the lien of any present or future mortgage or mortgages, or ground tease, upon the Project, irrespective of the time of execution or time of recording of any such mortgage or mortgages, or ground lease, and to all renewals, extensions, and modifications therefor or amendments thereto; provided, however, that as a condition to such subordination to any present or future mortgage or ground lease, the mortgagee or ground lessor must agree not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease so long as no Event of Default exists.  Tenant agrees that it will, upon five (5) Business Days’ advance written request from Landlord or any holder of a mortgage on all or a portion of the Project or the ground lessor thereof, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments reasonably deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord, or such holder to give effect to, or notice of, such subordination, provided that such subordination includes a non-disturbance agreement for the benefit of Tenant on commercially reasonable terms and conditions specified by the mortgagee or ground lessor.  Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall, contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, (a) enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement with The Union Labor Life

 

43











 

Insurance Company in the form of Exhibit J, and (b) enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement with BHX, LLC, as Trustee of Acorn Park Holdings Realty Trust, in the form of Exhibit K.  Upon five (5) Business Days’ written request from Landlord, any holder of a mortgage or ground lease on the Project or any successor in interest to Landlord, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, Tenant shall enter into a recognition and attornment agreement, in the form reasonably requested by such party, with such party.

 

Section 9.2.                                 Lease Superior at Mortgagee’s or Ground Lessor’s Election.  At the request in writing of any mortgagee, or ground lessor, of the Project, this Lease shall be deemed superior to such mortgage, or ground lease, whether this Lease was executed before or after such mortgage, or ground lease, and Tenant shall execute such documents to effect the foregoing in recordable form as such mortgagee, or ground lessor, shall request.

 

Section 9.3.                                 Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Lessor.  Upon receipt of a written request from Landlord or any holder of a mortgage, on all or any part of the Project, or the ground lessor thereof, Tenant will thereafter send any such holder copies of all notices (including, but not limited to, notices of default or termination) given by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with any provision of this Lease.  In the event of any failure by Landlord to perform, fulfill or observe any agreement by Landlord herein or any breach by Landlord of any representation or warranty of Landlord herein, any such holder may at its election cure such failure or breach for and on behalf of Landlord within thirty (30) days after the time provided herein for Landlord to cure the same or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to cure the default.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Section and any similar provision in a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into by Tenant and any mortgagee or ground lessor, the provisions of the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement shall be controlling.

 

Section 9.4.                                 Limitations on Obligations of Mortgagees, Ground Lessors and Successors.  Tenant agrees that the holder of a mortgage or ground lease or any successor-in-interest to any of them or to Landlord shall not be:  (a) bound by any payment of an installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent which may have been made more than thirty (30) days before the due date of such installment; (b) bound by any amendment or modification to this Lease made without the consent of the holder of a mortgage or ground lease or such successor in interest; (c) liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord (or its predecessors in interest); (d) responsible for any monies owing by Landlord to the credit of Tenant or subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses which Tenant may have against Landlord (or any of its predecessors in interest); (e) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (f) obligated to make any payment to Tenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to holder of a mortgage or ground lease or such successor in interest.  Further, Tenant agrees that it will not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of Landlord until Tenant shall have given written notice of such act or omission to the holder of such mortgage or ground lease (at such holder’s last address furnished to Tenant) and following the giving of such notice such holder shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to remedy such act or omission within thirty (30) days after the time period provided for in this Lease for Landlord to cure the same or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to cure the same, in the event of any inconsistency

 

44












 

between this Section and any similar provision in a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into by Tenant and any mortgagee or ground lessor, the provisions of the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement shall be controlling.

 

Section 9.5.                                 Estoppel Certificate By Tenant.  Tenant agrees, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord or any holder of a mortgage on all or a portion of the Project or the ground lessor thereof, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, any prospective purchaser and any mortgagee or ground lessor an estoppel certificate, in the form of Exhibit L or in such other commercially reasonable form which Landlord or such mortgagee or ground lessor may request, with all blanks completed with the appropriate information and with such changes as are necessary in order to make the estoppel certificate accurate and not misleading.

 

ARTICLE X
  CASUALTY

 

Section 10.1.                          Damage From Casualty.

 

(a)                                 If any portion of the Premises or the Building affecting Tenant’s use of the Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such casualty promptly after Tenant becomes aware of such casualty.  Within sixty (60) days after Tenant gives Landlord written notice of such casualty or Landlord otherwise becomes aware of such casualty, Landlord shall reasonably estimate, and give Tenant written notice of, the period commencing with the date of such notice (the “Restoration Period”) that Landlord anticipates will be reasonably required to perform the restoration work which is the responsibility of Landlord as provided below.  If Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be longer than one year, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving to the other written notice of termination within ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such estimate.  Such notice of termination shall be effective on the date thereof, and if Tenant is then occupying the Premises, Tenant shall thereafter have a reasonable period of time in which to vacate the Premises.  If (i) Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be one year or shorter, or (ii) Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be longer than one year but neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease as set forth above, then this Lease shall not terminate; and in such event, Landlord shall, unless Landlord exercises its termination right pursuant to Section 10.3, with reasonable dispatch, repair or rebuild so much of the Premises as were originally constructed by Landlord to substantially their condition immediately prior to the casualty (subject, however, to Legal Requirements then in existence), and Tenant shall concurrently (to the extent practical and consistent with good construction practices) (i) repair and restore so much of the Premises as were constructed by Tenant or are the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease and (ii) repair and restore its fixtures and personal property (but only to the extent of the proceeds of insurance carried or required by this Lease to be carried by Tenant).

 

(b)                                 If, pursuant to Section 10.1(a), Landlord is required to restore the Premises and Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration by the end of the Restoration Period (subject to extension for delays described in Section 10.1(c) and for Excusable Delay), then

 

45











 

Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.  If Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration work within such thirty (30) day period, then this Lease shall terminate as of such thirtieth (30th) day.

 

(c)                                  Landlord shall not be responsible for any delay in commencement of restoration which may result from delays in adjustment or collection of insurance proceeds.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 10.1 to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence repair or restoration work prior to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds, nor shall Landlord be required to expend sums in excess of “net recovered insurance proceeds”.  The term “net recovered insurance proceeds” shall mean the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by Landlord, less the cost of obtaining the same (including attorneys’ fees and appraisal fees) and less the amount thereof required to be paid to a mortgagee or ground lessor.

 

Section 10.2.                          Abatement of Rent.  In the event that the provisions of Section 10.1 shall become applicable, the Base Rent, Tenant’s Project Share of Taxes and Project Operating Costs, and Tenant’s Building Share of Building Operating Costs shall be abated or reduced proportionately for the period in which, by reason of any such damage or destruction, there is substantial interference with the operation of the business of Tenant in the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue its business in the Premises, and such abatement or reduction shall continue (but may be adjusted from time to time based on the extent of the interference with Tenant’s operations) for the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with the substantial completion by Landlord of such work, repair and/or reconstruction as Landlord may do.

 

Section 10.3.                          Landlord’s Right to Terminate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may terminate this Lease following:  (a) damage or destruction to the Premises to the extent of thirty (30%) or more of the cost of replacement thereof; or (b) the refusal of the applicable insurance carrier to pay funds sufficient for the cost to repair or replace or the refusal of any applicable mortgagee or ground lessor to release the insurance proceeds for such purposes.  Landlord may exercise the right to so terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after the date of the damage or sixty (60) days after the date Landlord receives written notice of such damage, whichever is later.  Such notice of termination shall be effective on the date thereof.

 

ARTICLE XI
 EMINENT DOMAIN

 

Section 11.1.                          Eminent Domain; Right to Terminate and Abatement in Rent.  If the Premises or any part thereof, or the whole or any substantial part of the Project, shall be taken, or if a conveyance shall be made in anticipation thereof, for any street or other public use, by action of the municipal, state, federal or other authorities, or shall receive any substantial direct or consequential damage for which Landlord or Tenant shall be entitled to compensation by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of any public authority, after the execution hereof and before the expiration of the Lease Term, then this Lease and the Lease Term shall terminate at the election of Landlord (given by written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days of the taking or within ninety (90) days of notice of the taking to Landlord), and such election may be made in

 

46











 

case of any such taking notwithstanding the entire interest of Landlord may have been divested by such taking; and if Landlord does not so elect, then in case of any such taking or destruction of, or damage to, the Premises, rendering the same or any part thereof unfit for use and occupation, a just proportion of the Base Rent according to the nature and extent of the injury sustained by the Premises as determined by Landlord, shall be suspended or abated until the Premises or, in case of such taking, what may remain thereof, shall have been put in proper condition for use and occupation.  To the extent that the Premises, upon having been put in proper condition for use and occupation are smaller, the Base Rent shall be reduced for the balance of the Lease Term in the same proportion which the reduction in space bears to the original Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, in the event of a taking of any portion of the Building, Tenant’s Share shall be recomputed.

 

Section 11.2.                          Restoration.  If this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 11.1, Landlord shall apply so much of the available proceeds of the eminent domain award as are required to restore the Project and the Premises to a condition, to the extent practical, substantially the same as that immediately preceding the taking, but subject to zoning laws and building codes then in existence.  If the available proceeds of the eminent domain award are insufficient, in Landlord’s judgment, for that purpose, Landlord shall have no obligation to expend funds in excess of said proceeds and Landlord shall have the right to select which portions of the Project, if any, shall be restored.  The term “available proceeds” shall mean the amount of the award paid to Landlord, less cost of obtaining the same (including attorneys’ fees and appraisal fees) and less the amount thereof required to be paid to a mortgagee or ground lessor.  In the event Landlord fails to commence restoration of the Project and/or the Premises within sixty (60) days after the taking, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Landlord.

 

Section 11.3.                          Landlord to Control Eminent Domain Action.  Landlord reserves all rights to compensation for damage to the Premises or any part thereof, or the leasehold hereby created, heretofore accrued or hereafter to accrue, by reason of any taking for public use of the Premises or any portion thereof, or right appurtenant thereto, or privilege or easement in, through, under or over the same, and by way of confirmation of the foregoing Tenant hereby assigns all rights to such damages heretofore accrued or hereafter accruing during the Lease Term to Landlord.  Provided, however, nothing herein contained shall limit Tenant’s right to any separate award for the taking of personal property, moving and other relocation expenses, or other items the payment of which shall not reduce the award payable to Landlord.

 

ARTICLE XII
  DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 

Section 12.1.                          Event of Default.  As used herein, “Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence and/or existence of any one or more of the following:  (a) (i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other amount due under this Lease on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice from Landlord thereof or (ii) Landlord having given the notice specified in the foregoing clause (a)(i) to Tenant twice in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall fail, on a third occasion within the twelve (12) months following the giving of the first such notice by Landlord, to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other amount

 

47











 

due under this Lease on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable; or (b) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the other covenants or undertakings herein on its part to be performed or observed and such neglect or failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant; provided, however, that if the default is other than a default under clause (a) above, or clauses (c) through (i) below, and is such that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, but is capable of being cured, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended by up to sixty (60) additional days provided that Tenant commences to cure such default within said thirty (30) day period, continues to do so diligently, and thereafter completes such cure within not more than ninety (90) days following the notice of default; or (c) there is filed by Tenant any case, petition, proceeding or other action under any Bankruptcy Law; or (d) any other proceedings shall be instituted against Tenant under any Bankruptcy Law and not be dismissed within sixty (60) days; or (e) Tenant shall execute an assignment of its property for the benefit of its creditors; or (f) a receiver, custodian or other similar officer for Tenant shall be appointed and not be discharged within sixty (60) days; or (g) the estate hereby created shall be taken by execution or by other process of law and is not redeemed by Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter; or (h) an assignment or sublease in violation of the terms of this Lease; or (i) any other event constituting an Event of Default under other Sections of this Lease.

 

Section 12.2.                          Landlord’s Remedies.

 

(a)                                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter (notwithstanding any license or waiver of any former breach or waiver of the benefit hereof, or consent in a former instance), and without further demand or notice, in person or by agent or attorney, enter the Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same as of its former estate, or terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, and in either event expel Tenant and those claiming through or under it and remove their effects (forcibly, if necessary) without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedy which might otherwise be used for arrears of Base Rent or Additional Rent or breach of covenant, and upon entry or written notice of termination, or automatic termination, both as aforesaid, this Lease shall terminate and Landlord, in addition to all other remedies which it may have at law or equity, and not in limitation thereof, shall have the remedies provided in this Article XII.

 

(b)                                 If, pursuant to Section 12.2(a), Landlord terminates Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the remainder of the Lease Term the Base Rent and Additional Rent in installments as and when the same become due and payable, subject to reduction by any rent actually received by Landlord as a result of a re-letting of the Premises (net of the reasonable and customary costs of re-letting, including remodeling costs, brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees).  Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises to mitigate damages, and Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise for a term or terms which may, at Landlord’s option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and may grant concessions or free rent.  The good faith failure of Landlord to re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, or, if the Premises are re-let, the good faith failure to collect the rents due under such re-letting, shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability for damage so long as Landlord does not act arbitrarily or capriciously.  Any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for

 

48











 

any month or other period shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month or period by a similar proceeding.  Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and decorations on the Premises as Landlord in Landlord’s sole but reasonable judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the Premises, and the making of such alterations or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder.

 

(c)                                  If, pursuant to Section 12.2(a), Landlord terminates this Lease, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord as damages, in addition to all sums which were due prior to the date of such termination, a sum equal to the amount by which the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term exceeds the fair rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term, discounted to present value using a then market rate of interest as reasonably determined by Landlord.  For the purposes of computing damages payable pursuant to this Section 12.2(c), the Additional Rent with respect to Taxes, Insurance Costs and Operating Costs for the remainder of the Lease Term will be assumed to be the product of such Additional Rent for the most recently ended fiscal, calendar or lease year, as the case may be, times the number of years remaining of the Lease Term.

 

(d)                                 Tenant will be responsible to Landlord for all expenses which Landlord may incur in connection with the enforcement of Landlord’s rights after an Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, brokerage fees, and the cost of putting the Premises in good order or preparing the same for rental.

 

Section 12.3.                          Reimbursement of Landlord.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant will, in addition to paying Landlord all amounts due under the terms and provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section 12.9, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in collecting such rent or in obtaining possession of, or in re-letting the Premises, or in defending any action, including expenses for reasonable counsel fees and commissions.  Tenant further agrees that, if on termination of this Lease by expiration or otherwise, Tenant shall fail to remove any of its property from the Premises as provided for herein, Landlord shall be authorized, in its sole option, and in Tenant’s name and on its behalf, either (a) to cause such property to be removed and placed in storage for the account and at the expense of Tenant; or (b) to sell such property at public or private sale, with or without notice, and to apply the proceeds thereof, after the payment of all expenses of removal, storage and sale, to the indebtedness, if any, of Tenant to Landlord, the surplus, if any, to be paid to Tenant.  All sums payable by Tenant under this Article XII shall be deemed Additional Rent.

 

Section 12.4.                          Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants.  Tenant covenants and agrees that, if it shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, Landlord, in its sole discretion may after due notice to, or demand upon, Tenant, make any payment or perform any other act on the part of Tenant to be made and performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees.  The making of any such payment or the performing of any other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained.  All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs

 

49











 

and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent.  Whenever practicable, Landlord, before proceeding as provided in this Section, shall give Tenant notice in writing of the failure of Tenant which Landlord proposes to remedy, and shall allow Tenant such length of time as may be reasonable in the circumstances, consistent with any grace periods contained herein, but not exceeding ten (10) Business Days from the giving of notice, to remedy the failure itself and, if Tenant shall not remedy the failure in the time so allowed, Landlord shall be deemed to have given “due notice” and may proceed as provided in this Section; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from acting without notice to Tenant in case of any emergency wherein there is danger to property or person or where there may exist any violation of Legal Requirements including but not limited to the presence of Hazardous Materials, in which event no notice shall be required.

 

Section 12.5.                          Cumulative Remedies.  The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease, or under the provisions of applicable law, are cumulative and not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease.  The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease or to exercise any option contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of such covenant or option.  Receipt by Landlord of any Base Rent or Additional Rent payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenants hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.  No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by it.  In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to restraint by injunction of any violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease.

 

Section 12.6.                          Expenses of Enforcement.  Tenant agrees to pay all reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in enforcing any obligation or any remedies hereunder including, without limitation, in connection with collection of Base Rent or Additional Rent, recovery by Landlord of the Premises, or in any litigation in which Landlord shall become involved by reason of any act or negligence of any of Tenant’s Invitees or any breach of this Lease by Tenant.  Landlord agrees to pay all reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Tenant in enforcing any obligation or any remedies hereunder including any litigation in which Tenant shall become involved by reason of any act or negligence of Landlord or any breach of this Lease by Landlord.

 

Section 12.7.                          Landlord’s Default.  Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder unless such default shall remain uncured for more than thirty (30) days following written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of such default, or such longer period as may be reasonably required to correct such default Landlord’s liability to keep, maintain, and repair shall always be limited to the cost of making such repair or accomplishing such maintenance or repair.  In no event whatsoever shall Landlord be liable for consequential or any indirect damages.  The provisions of this Section are further subject to the provisions of

 

50











 

Articles X and XI dealing with eminent domain and fire and other casualty, and Section 6.3 dealing with interruption of services.  If Landlord fails to cure any default by Landlord within the period provided above in this Section, Tenant may give Landlord an additional written notice confirming that the default has not been cured and that Tenant intends to cure such default, and, if Landlord fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after such notice, Tenant may, without waiving the default, take such steps as are reasonably appropriate to cure the default, recover from Landlord the reasonable cost of such cure, and, if Landlord concedes, or a court determines, Tenant’s right to recover such cost, setoff such cost against the Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due.  In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease by reason of a default by Landlord, except as expressly provided herein.

 

Section 12.8.                          Limitation of Landlord’s Liability.  The obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be binding upon Landlord and each succeeding owner of Landlord’s interest hereunder only during the period of such ownership, and Landlord and each succeeding owner shall have no liability whatsoever except for its obligations during each such respective period.  Tenant hereby agrees for itself and each succeeding holder of Tenant’s interest, or any portion thereof, hereunder, that any judgment, decree or award obtained against Landlord or any succeeding owner of Landlord’s interest, which is in any manner related to this Lease, the Premises or Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises or the Common Areas, or the remainder of the Project, whether at law or in equity, shall be satisfied out of Landlord’s equity in the land and buildings then comprising the Project to the extent then owned by Landlord and such succeeding owner, and further agrees to look only to such assets (or proceeds thereof) and to no other assets of Landlord, or such succeeding owner, for satisfaction.  Neither Landlord nor any Person executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord, nor any partner, limited or general, or any officer, director, employee, member, trustee, beneficiary, or owner of Landlord, nor any subsequent Landlord, or any partner, limited or general, or any officer, director, employee, member, trustee, beneficiary, or owner of any subsequent Landlord shall have any personal liability hereunder.  The remedies provided to Tenant in this Lease are exclusive, and Landlord will not be liable under any theory of recovery, whether based on contract, tort or otherwise.

 

Section 12.9.                          Late Payment and Administrative Expense.  If Tenant shall fail to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges after the same become due and payable under this Lease, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at the lesser of (a) a per annum rate equal to three percent (3%) plus the prime rate of Bank of America (or any successor) in effect on the day the payment became due and subject to change thereafter or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (“Interest Payment”).  In addition, if Landlord is required to redeposit any check which is returned for insufficient funds or if Tenant shall fail to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges on or before the date on which the same become due and payable, then Tenant shall also pay to Landlord an administrative expense charge (“Administrative Expense”) of five percent (5.0%) of the amount thereof for each calendar month or part thereof after the due date of such payment until such payment is received by Landlord.  The provisions herein for Interest Payment and Administrative Expense shall not be construed to relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other charges when due under this Lease and shall be in addition to and not in limitation of Landlord’s other remedies as provided for in this Lease.

Each party represents that it has not dealt with any Person in connection with the Premises or the negotiation or execution of this Lease other than officers, employees and attorneys of Landlord and Brokers.  Each party shall save harmless the other from and against all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred as a result of any breach of the foregoing representation.

The acceptance of a

 

53











 

purported rent check following termination shall not constitute the creation of a tenancy at will, it being agreed that Tenant’s status shall remain that of a daily Tenant at sufferance, at the aforesaid daily rate.  Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, if any, sustained by reason of any such holding over.  Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable.

 

Section 13.10.                   When Lease Becomes Binding.

15.                               No Tenant shall cause any unnecessary janitorial labor or services by reason of the Tenant’s willful misconduct or carelessness or indifference in the preservation of good order and cleanliness.

include, but are not limited to, requiring persons entering the Building or the Property to identify themselves to a watchman or other person designated by Landlord and to sign in and sign out of the Property, denying access to persons who are not properly identified or appear suspicious, and conducting fire or other emergency drills.  The exercise of such security measures by Landlord and any resulting interruption of a Tenant’s business shall not constitute an eviction or disturbance of a Tenant’s use and possession of its Premises, render Landlord liable to the Tenant for damages, or relieve a Tenant from its obligations under its lease.

 

21.                               No bicycles or vehicles shall be brought into or kept in any Building.  All bicycles and vehicles brought onto the Property shall be driven and parked only in designated, paved areas.

No Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees shall have a right to park vehicles on the Property for purposes other than in connection with the Tenant’s business at the Property.  Landlord shall have no responsibility to any Tenant or any Tenant’s employees, agents or invitees for any theft, loss of or damage to any vehicle or its contents on the Property.  Each Tenant’s parking rights, except as otherwise expressly provided in its lease, are in common with other Tenants and on a first come, first served basis, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in its lease or other written agreements with Landlord, no Tenant has the right to any designated parking spaces or to any particular number of parking spaces.

 

23.                               All vehicles brought onto the Property by Tenant, its employees, agents, customers and invitees shall be in good condition and appearance and shall be drivable.  No such vehicles shall be leaking oil or other fluids.

 

24.                               Each Tenant will deposit its garbage, trash and refuse only in approved trash containers within the Tenant’s Premises or in designated trash receptacles placed by Landlord within the Common Areas.  No Tenant shall deposit any hazardous, flammable or explosive substances in any trash receptacle on the Property.

 

Landlord reserves the right to rescind, alter or waive any of the Rules and Regulations, and to adopt such additional rules and regulations as part of the Rules and Regulations, from time to time as Landlord reasonably deems it appropriate for the safety, protection, care and cleanliness of the Property, the operation thereof, the preservation of good order therein or the protection and comfort of the Tenants and their employees, agents and invitees.  An alteration or waiver of any of the Rules and Regulations in favor of one Tenant shall not, other than with the consent of Landlord, operate as an alteration or waiver in favor of any other Tenant.  Landlord shall not be responsible to any Tenant for the non-observance or violation by any other Tenant of any of the

 

70











 

Rules and Regulations, nor for the enforcement of any of the Rules and Regulations against any other Tenant.  No Tenant shall have the right to enforce any of the Rules and Regulations against any other Tenant.

Recitals

 

A.                                    BHX, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, as Trustee of Acorn Park I Realty Trust, a Massachusetts nominee trust (“Original Landlord”), and Tenant entered into a Lease dated June 29, 2004, as amended by an Amendment No. 1 to Lease dated November 23, 2004 (as so amended, the “Lease”), pursuant to which Original Landlord leased to Tenant space in a building commonly known as Building 100, Cambridge Discovery Park, Cambridge, Massachusetts.  All capitalized terms used in this Amendment which are defined in the Lease and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

 

B.                                    At the time the Lease was entered into, BHX, LLC, as Trustee of Acorn Park Holdings Realty Trust (“Fee Owner”), owned the fee simple interest in all of the land within the Project (the “Project Land”), and Original Landlord owned a leasehold interest in all of the Project Land pursuant to a Ground Lease (the “Original Ground Lease”) by Fee Owner and Original Landlord dated November 17, 2000.

 

C.                                    On or about March 22, 2005, (i) Fee Owner and Original Landlord entered into a First Amendment of Ground Lease dated March 22, 2005, pursuant to which the Original Ground Lease was amended to release a portion of the Project Land, more particularly described in Exhibit 1 hereto (“Parcel 100”), on which the Building is situated, (ii) Fee Owner and Landlord entered into a Ground Lease dated March 22, 2005, pursuant to which Fee Owner leased Parcel 100 to Landlord, (iii) Fee Owner, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement dated March 22, 2005, pursuant to which, among other things, Tenant agreed to attorn to Fee Owner as landlord under the Lease, and (iv) Original Landlord and Landlord entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Landlord’s Interest in Lease, pursuant to which Original Landlord assigned to Landlord, and Landlord assumed, the rights and obligations of the landlord under the Lease.

 

D.                                    In 2007, TBCI, LLC was substituted for BHX, LLC as Trustee of Landlord.

 

E.                                     On or about December 21, 2009, (i) Fee Owner and Original Landlord entered into a Second Amendment of Ground Lease dated December 21, 2009, pursuant to which the Original Ground Lease was amended to release (a) a portion of the Project Land, more particularly described in Exhibit 2 hereto (“Parcel 200”).  and (b) a portion of the Project Land, more particularly described in Exhibit 3 hereto (the “Parking Garage A Parcel”), (ii) Fee Owner and 200 Discovery Park, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Building 200 Owner”), entered into a Ground Lease dated December 21, 2009, pursuant to which Fee Owner leased Parcel 200 to Building 200 Owner, (iii) Fee Owner and Parking Garage A, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Parking Garage A Owner”), entered into a Ground

However, Section 2.3 of the Lease was written at a time that Original Landlord owned the leasehold interest in all of the Project Land, including the Parking Areas, pursuant to the Original Ground Lease and did not contemplate the transactions described in recital paragraphs C and D above.

 

G.                                    By reason of the transactions described in recital paragraphs C and D above, (i) the only portion of the Project Land in which Landlord owns a leasehold interest is Parcel 100, (ii) Parcel 100 does not include any Parking Areas, (iii) the only Parking Area is Parking Garage A, in which the leasehold interest is owned by Parking Garage A Owner, and (iv) the parking spaces in Parking Garage A are allocated to Landlord, for use by tenants of the Building, and to Building 200 Owner, for use by tenants of Building 200, as more specifically provided for in the Declaration.

Parking.  Subject to such commercially reasonable rules and regulations that Parking Garage A Owner may establish from time to time for use of Parking Garage A, Tenant’s Invitees are authorized to use 212 parking spaces (based on 2.6 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of the Premises) in Parking Garage A (“Tenant’s Parking Spaces”).  Fifteen (15) of Tenant’s Parking Spaces will be designated as reserved for Tenant on the first level of Parking Garage A and the remainder of Tenant’s Parking Spaces will be undesignated spaces in Parking Garage A.  All of Tenant’s Parking Spaces will be located in Parking Garage A, even if additional Parking Areas are developed at the Project in the future.  For the use of Tenant’s Parking Spaces in Parking Garage A, Tenant shall pay to Parking Garage A Owner a monthly parking charge, in addition to the Base Rent paid to Landlord, for each such parking space based on the fair market charge for similar spaces, as determined and adjusted by Parking Garage A Owner from time to time in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that there shall be no charge to Tenant for the use of any parking spaces in Parking Garage A prior to May 1, 2011.  The monthly parking charge as of May 1, 2011 shall be $125.00 per space.  Tenant shall not permit any of its Invitees to park in spaces in Parking Garage A other than Tenant’s Parking Spaces, provided that if Parking Garage A Owner designates spaces in Parking Garage A as being for visitors to the Project generally, Tenant may permit its visitors to use such spaces on a non-exclusive basis with other visitors to the Project.  Except for delivery trucks using designated loading and unloading facilities, Tenant shall not permit any of its Invitees to park any vehicle on the Project other than passenger automobiles and small trucks.
