CHESTERFIELD SITE SHARING AND SERVICES AGREEMENT







Article 1.     Parties.  This Chesterfield Site Sharing and Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 1st day of October, 2016 (“Date of this Agreement”), by and between AdvanSix Resins & Chemicals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Licensor”) and Honeywell International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Licensee”).







Article 2.     Premises, Parking and Common Areas.







(a)     Premises.  Prior to the completion of the Capital Improvements (as defined below), Licensor hereby grants a license to Licensee for reasonable use and access to the premises described upon the attached Exhibit A1 (“Interim Premises”), including a non-exclusive right to use and access the Common Areas (as hereinafter defined) designated on Exhibit A1 in Licensor’s facility located at Bermuda Hundred Road, Chesterfield, Virginia.  After completion of the Capital Improvements, Licensor hereby grants a license to Licensee for reasonable use and access to the premises described upon the attached Exhibit A2 (“Final Premises”), including a non-exclusive right to use and access the Common Areas designated on Exhibit A2.  The term “Premises” shall mean either the Interim Premises or the Final Premises as the context requires depending on whether the use of such term refers to period prior to completion of the Capital Improvements or after completion of the Capital Improvements.  The Premises, Common Areas (as hereinafter defined), other facilities located at Bermuda Hundred Road, Chesterfield, Virginia, and the land upon which they are located are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Property”.  This Agreement does not and shall not be deemed to constitute a lease or a conveyance of the Premises by Licensor to Licensee or to confer upon Licensee any right, title, estate or interest in the Premises or any part thereof, other than the express rights conferred hereby.  This Agreement grants to Licensee a personal privilege to use and occupy the Premises for the Term on the terms and conditions set forth herein.







(b)     Parking.  Licensee shall be entitled to park in the unassigned and unreserved parking spaces, on a first come, first served basis, on those portions of the Common Areas designated for parking as shown on Exhibit A1 and Exhibit A2.







(c)     Common Areas.  The term “Common Areas” is defined as those areas and facilities designated by the Licensor as Common Areas on Exhibit A1 and Exhibit A2 and such other areas as Licensor may designate as Common Areas from time to time prior to the completion of the Capital Improvements for the general non-exclusive use of Licensor, Licensee and of any other occupants of the Property and their respective employees, suppliers, shippers, customers and invitees.  To the extent designated as a “Common Area on Exhibit A1 and Exhibit A2, the Common Areas shall include, without limitation, the parking areas, loading and unloading areas, conference rooms, break rooms, trash areas, roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways, landscaped areas, washrooms, restrooms, and elevators, corridors, and passageways.  During the period prior to completion of the Capital Improvements, Licensor gives to Licensee and Licensee’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers and invitees the non-exclusive right to use the Common Areas, with others who are entitled to use the Common Areas.







Article 3.     Term.  This Agreement will be in force and effect for an initial term beginning as of the date of the Agreement and ending on December 31, 2018 (the “Initial Term”).  On December 31, 2018, the Agreement will be renewed automatically for successive additional periods of two (2) years (each such two-year period, a “Renewal Period” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless (a) either Party notifies the other Party in writing of a plan to substantially shut down its operations to the extent that continuation of the Agreement is no longer commercially feasible in which case the Agreement will survive for an additional two (2) year period during which time the Utilities will continue to be provided, or (b) Licensee notifies Licensor in writing on or prior to June 30, 2018, with respect to the Initial Term, or June 30 of the second year of any subsequent Renewal Period of its desire to terminate this Agreement, in which case this Agreement shall terminate 12 months after the delivery of such written notification.  Termination will not operate to release any Party of any obligation hereunder accrued either prior to the effective date of said termination or derived therefrom or any obligation that expressly survives the termination of this Agreement.








 















Article 4.     Capital Improvements.  Licensee covenants and agrees to undertake and complete the capital improvements to the Premises described on Exhibit F (the “Capital Improvements”).  All costs and expenses of the Capital Improvements shall be borne exclusively by Licensee.  Before commencing the Capital Improvements, Licensee shall provide Licensor a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Capital Improvement plans and to amend and alter such Capital Improvements to the extent Licensor believes, acting reasonably, that such Capital Improvement plans would impact Licensor’s ability to operate on the Property in the ordinary course, create a public nuisance, pose a risk to the health and safety of Licensor’s employees or guests, or pose a risk to the environment (such considerations, the “Criteria”).  During the execution of the Capital Improvements, at Licensor’s request, Licensee shall provide Licensor with reasonable oversight of the execution of the Capital Improvements and shall undertake such alterations or changes to the Capital Improvements as Licensor shall suggest acting reasonably on the basis of the Criteria.  Licensee shall complete the Capital Improvements to the satisfaction of Licensor on or prior to the earlier to occur of (1) expiration of the Initial Term or (2) a Change in Control Transaction.  As used herein, a “Change in Control Transaction” means (i) the acquisition (whether by merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, equity investment, joint venture or otherwise) by any person or group (or the shareholders of any person) of more than 20% of the assets of Honeywell’s Advanced Materials Business unit and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (based on the fair market value thereof), or assets comprising 20% or more of the consolidated revenues or EBITDA of Honeywell’s Advanced Materials Business unit, taken as a whole, including in any such case through the acquisition of one or more subsidiaries of the Licensee or (ii) acquisition in any manner (including through a tender offer or exchange offer) by any person or group (or the shareholders of any person) of more than 20% of the Licensee’s equity securities.







Article 5.     Base Annual Fee and Operating Expenses.







(a)     Base Annual Fee.  During the Term Licensee shall pay to Licensor, as a base annual fee for the Premises, the sums set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Base Annual Fee”), in equal monthly installments as set forth on Exhibit B.  Base Annual Fee and Additional Fees (as hereinafter defined) are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as “Fees”.  Base Annual Fee for any period during the Term hereof which is for less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment of Base Annual Fee.  Base Annual Fee shall be payable in advance, in equal monthly installments, without offset or deduction, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term and shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Licensor at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Licensor may designate in writing.  All amounts which Licensee is required to pay or discharge to Licensor pursuant to this Agreement, in addition to the Base Annual Fee, shall constitute additional fees hereunder (“Additional Fees”) and Licensee shall pay Additional Fees directly to the person entitled thereto.








2










 







(b)     Operating Expenses.  Licensee shall pay to Licensor as Additional Fees during the Term hereof, in addition to the Base Annual Fee, Licensee’s proportionate share (“Proportionate Share”) of the costs and expenses payable by Licensor in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Property (“Operating Expenses”), all in accordance with  the definitions of Proportionate Share and Operating Expenses and the terms and conditions contained in Exhibit C attached hereto.







(c)     Increase to Base Annual Fee.  At any time prior to 180 days prior to the commencement of a Renewal Period, Licensor may deliver to Licensee a written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the Fair Market Rental Value (as defined below) of the Premises and a calculation of a new Base Annual Fee based on such Fair Market Rental Value (“Landlord’s Determination of FMRV”).  If within twenty (20) business days after receipt of such written notice, Licensee does not deliver a written notice to Licensor disputing Licensor’s determination of Fair Market Rental Value and the new Base Annual Fee (a “Rental Dispute Notice”), the new Base Annual Fee set forth in Licensor’s written notice shall become the Base Annual Fee in the first calendar month from and after the applicable Renewal Period.  The Rental Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail Licensee’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value and the reasons for rejecting Licensor’s proposed Base Annual Fee.  As used herein, “Fair Market Rental Value” shall mean the fair market rental value of the Premises giving consideration to all relevant factors including, without limitation, the size, quality, and location; and the amenity package available with respect to comparable spaces when compared to the Premises; and the creditworthiness of the tenant when compared to Licensee.  The Fair Market Rental Value shall specifically exclude value attributable to Licensee’s Capital Improvements and any additional Licensee alterations.







If Licensee delivers a Rental Dispute Notice, Licensor and Licensee shall negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Rental Dispute Notice in an attempt to reach an agreement as to the Fair Market Rental Value.  If, however, Licensor and Licensee are unable to reach an agreement as to the Fair Market Rental Value, then Licensee shall have the option, by written notice to Licensor within five (5) days following the end of such thirty (30) day period, to proceed with the appraisal process set forth below.







If Licensee elects to proceed with the appraisal process, the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises shall be determined by an appraisal prepared by a member of the Appraisal Institute (the “Institute”), the arrangements for which must be made by Licensee and which must be completed and delivered to Licensor within thirty (30) days after Licensee elects to proceed with the appraisal process.  If Licensor does not agree with this appraisal, then Licensee may, at Licensor’s sole cost and expense, obtain another appraisal from an Institute member, which second appraisal must be completed and delivered to Licensee within thirty (30) days after Licensor’s receipt of Licensee’s initial appraisal.  If the two rental rates representing the Fair Market Rental Value determined by said members differ by less than ten percent (10%), the Fair Market Rental Value shall be deemed to be the average of the two rental rates in said appraisals.  If the two rental rates representing the Fair Market Rental Value determined by said members differ by more than ten (10%), the appraisers designated by Licensor and Licensee shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the second appraisal by Licensee, designate a third Institute member to prepare a third appraisal, which third appraisal shall be completed and delivered to Licensor and Licensee within thirty (30) days after the designation of such third Institute member.  After completion and delivery of the third appraisal to Licensor and Licensee, the Base Annual Fee representing the Fair Market Rental Value shall be deemed to be the average of the two lower valuations of the three appraisals.  Each party shall bear the expense of the Institute member designated by it with the expense of the third member shall be shared equally by Licensor and Licensee.  Each appraiser shall have a minimum of five (5) years’ experience appraising fair market rental values in the Chesterfield region submarket.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Base Annual Fee for a Renewal Term be less than the rate set forth on Exhibit B (or, if the Base Annual Fee has already been subject to an adjustment, the Base Annual Fee in effect at the time of delivery of Licensor’s written notice setting forth the Fair Market Rental Value).



3




















If the appraisal process set forth herein is not completed by the commencement of the Renewal Term in question, the Base Annual Fee in effect for the last month of the Term or the current Renewal Term, as the case may be, shall continue until the appraisal process is completed, at which time the Base Annual Fee, based on the results of the appraisal process, or lesser amount (if Landlord’s Determination of FMRV is less than the amount determined by the appraisal process), as applicable, shall be applied retroactively to the commencement date of the Renewal Period in question, and the parties shall adjust the Base Annual Fee accordingly.







Upon the determination of the Base Annual Fee for any Renewal Term, the parties shall enter into an amendment of this Agreement setting forth the applicable Base Annual Fee for the Renewal Term in question.







Article 6.     Use, Compliance with Legal Requirements, Condition of Premises.







(a)     Use.  Licensee may use the Premises (and the improvements, fixtures and furnishings contained therein) in a manner and for purposes that are consistent with the use of the Premises on the date hereof (the “Allowed Uses”).  Licensee shall provide Licensor with six months advance written notice and request for approval if Licensee intends to materially alter, change or expand its use of the Premises; provided, however, such six month notice period may be shorter if such alteration, change or expansion will not materially impact Licensor’s activities on the Property.  Licensor may prohibit Licensee from altering its use of the Premises if Licensor believes, acting reasonably, that such alteration or change to the use of the Premises is not an Allowed Use because it materially interferes with Licensor’s ability to operate on the Property in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, creates a public nuisance, poses a risk to the health and safety of Licensor’s employees or guests materially more significant than the risks posed by Licensee’s current use of the Premises, or poses a risk to the environment materially more significant than the risks posed by Licensee’s current use of the Premises.  The Premises may only be occupied on a regular basis by employees of Licensee.  Licensee shall be responsible for pickup and delivery of Licensee’s goods at any common shipping dock at the Property (subject to any limitations set forth on Exhibits A1 and A2), and any shipments shall include proper labeling to distinguish Licensee’s goods from Licensor’s goods.



4















(b)     Compliance with Legal Requirements and Licensor’s Procedures.  Each Party shall comply with all statutes, laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, judgments, rules of common law, orders, decrees, government approvals, concessions, grants, franchises, licenses, agreements, directives, requirements, legally enforceable contracts or other governmental restrictions or any similar form of decision of, determination by, interpretation or administration of or standard pursuant to any of the foregoing of any governmental authority (whether federal, state, local or foreign), whether now or hereinafter in effect and, in each case, as amended (all of the foregoing shall be “Legal Requirements”), and Licensor’s Procedures (as defined in Article 26) applicable to its respective activities at the Property.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree to allocate their compliance responsibilities as follows, and to reasonably cooperate in the performance of these compliance responsibilities:







(i)  Licensor’s Responsibilities.  Except for Licensee’s obligations pursuant to Article 6(b)(ii) and Article 8 below, Licensor, at Licensor’s sole cost and expense and throughout the Term, shall ensure that the Property complies with all Legal Requirements and Licensor’s Procedures.







(ii)  Licensee’s Responsibilities.  Licensee, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense and throughout the Term, shall ensure that the Premises comply with all Legal Requirements and Licensor’s Procedures to the extent such compliance is required as a result of Licensee’s business conducted within the Premises.







(c)     Condition of Premises.  Licensor shall deliver the Premises to Licensee in its AS-IS condition on the Commencement Date.  Licensee hereby accepts the Premises in their condition existing as of the Commencement Date.







Article 7.     Assignment.  Neither Licensee nor Licensor shall assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that either Licensee or Licensor may assign its rights, in whole, without such consent, to (a) one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, or (b) subject to Article 4, an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of such party to which this Agreement pertains, whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale, or otherwise.  Licensee shall not sublicense the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises or any part thereof, by any persons other than Licensee and its employees, without the prior written consent of Licensor.  Any purported assignment or sublicensing in violation of this Article shall be null and void.  No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.  No assignment (whether by operation of law), subletting or further licensing, even with the consent of Licensor, will relieve Licensee from liability for payment of the Base Annual Fees and the Additional Fees herein provided for or from the obligation to keep and be bound by all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement.  Any transfer contrary to the provisions of this Article 7 shall be void.













5




















Article 8.     Licensee’s Responsibility.  With respect to the Premises, Licensee shall only be responsible to perform the maintenance, repair and replacements activities set forth on Exhibit G.  Licensee shall not commit waste with respect to its Premises.







Article 9.     Licensor’s Repair and Maintenance Responsibilities.  Except for the Licensee’s maintenance, repair and replacements activities set forth on Exhibit G, Licensor shall (i) keep the Property in good repair and maintenance (including replacements) at all times, for the proper operation of the Property and for provision of Licensor’s services under this Agreement at competitive costs and in a manner generally consistent with the maintenance and repair (including replacements) of comparable properties, including, without limitation, the Common Areas, the Property’s windows, roof, foundation, structure and walls, and mechanical and electrical systems, which include, but are not limited to, the heating, electrical, air conditioning, ventilation and plumbing systems and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment and (ii) perform the other obligations described on Exhibit G.

6




















(v)  Licensee shall utilize insurance companies that are rated no less than “A-, VII” by A.M.  Best or equivalent rating agency and Licensee will endeavor to provide a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation or non-renewal to Licensor.  Policies of Licensee shall be primary and non-contributory to any insurance carried by or available to Licensor in respect to Licensee’s indemnity obligations herein.  Licensee shall provide Licensor a certificate of such insurance prior to occupancy and/or use of the Property and annually within 15 days of renewal.

Licensor and Licensee each hereby release the other from any and all liability or responsibility for any loss, injury or damage to the other’s real and/or personal property caused by fire or any other casualty insured by a standard “all risk” property insurance policy during the Term of this Agreement, even if such fire or casualty may have been caused by the negligence (but not the willful misconduct) of the other party or one for whom such party may be responsible.  Inasmuch as the above mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereto hereby agrees if required by said policies to give to each insurance company which has issued to it policies of fire and extended coverage insurance, written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers, and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waivers.













7

In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against Licensor by reason of any such claim, Licensee, upon receipt of written notice from Licensor, shall defend the same, at Licensee’s expense, by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Licensor.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing covenants under this Article 10(d)(i) shall be deemed continuing covenants for the benefit of Licensor and shall survive the expiration of this Agreement but only to the extent that the causes giving rise to Licensee’s obligations under this Article 10(d)(i) occur before the expiration of this Agreement.







(ii)  Licensor shall indemnify and hold Licensee and its officers, directors, partners and employees entirely harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims and/or losses of any kind arising, directly or indirectly, entirely or in part, out of any injury to any person which arise out of, are occasioned by or are in any way attributable to the use or occupancy of the Property by Licensor, its agents, employees, guests, invitees and/or contractors, except to the extent caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Licensee, Licensee’s agents, employees, invitees or contractors.  In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against Licensee by reason of any such claim, Licensor, upon receipt of written notice from Licensee, shall defend the same, at Licensor’s expense, by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Licensee.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing covenants under this Article 10(d)(ii) shall be deemed continuing covenants for the benefit of Licensee and shall survive the expiration of this Agreement but only to the extent that the causes giving rise to Licensor’s obligations under this Article 10(d)(ii) occur before the expiration of this Agreement.


 


 



8




















(iii)  Neither Licensor nor Licensee shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future profits, revenue or income, diminution in value or loss of business reputation or opportunity.







Article 11.     Default/Remedies.







(a)     Licensee’s Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a default hereunder by Licensee:







(i)  failure to pay Base Annual Fee or Additional Fees when due if the failure continues for twenty (20) days after written notice has been received by Licensee;







(ii)  failure to perform any other provision of this Agreement if such failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) business days after written notice has been received by Licensee, provided that, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) business days, Licensee shall not be in default of this Agreement if Licensee commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) business day period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the default;







(iii)  any proceeding is begun by or against Licensee to subject the assets of Licensee to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or for an appointment of a receiver of Licensee or of any of Licensee’s assets and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days; or







(iv)  Licensee makes a general assignment of Licensee’s assets for the benefit of creditors.







Notices given under this Article shall specify the alleged default and the applicable Agreement provision(s), and shall demand that Licensee perform the provisions of this Agreement or pay the Base Annual Fee or Additional Fees that is in arrears, as the case may be, within the applicable period of time.







(b)     Licensor’s Remedies.  In the event of any such default by Licensee, Licensor may at any time after expiration of the applicable cure period:

In such event, Licensor shall be entitled to recover from Licensee all reasonable damages incurred by Licensor by reason of Licensee’s default;













9




















(ii)  maintain Licensee’s right to occupancy in which case this Agreement shall continue in effect.  In such event, Licensor shall be entitled to enforce all of Licensor’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, including the right to recover the Fees due hereunder; or







(iii)  pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Licensor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state where the Premises are located.







Unpaid installments of Base Annual Fee and Additional Fees and other unpaid monetary obligations of Licensee under the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement shall bear interest from the date due at the maximum rate then allowable by law.







In the case of Licensee’s default as contemplated herein, Licensor shall have a duty to mitigate its damages.







(c)     Licensee’s Remedies.  In the event of any failure by Licensor to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Licensee (except in the case of an emergency) shall take no action without having first given Licensor written notice of any such default and a reasonable opportunity to cure which, in any event, shall not exceed thirty (30) business days.  Following such notice and failure by Licensor to cure, Licensee shall have all rights available to it at law or in equity, and shall have the further right to take the necessary actions to perform Licensor’s uncured obligations hereunder and invoice Licensor for the costs and expenses thereof, unless Licensor has diligently commenced to perform its uncured obligations hereunder within said period not to exceed thirty (30) business days.  Licensor shall remit payment to Licensee within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice from Licensee.  If Licensor fails to remit payment to Licensee within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, Licensee shall have the right to offset and deduct said sum from Base Annual Fee.







Article 12.     Utilities.  Licensor covenants and agrees to maintain public utilities to furnish any electricity and water utilized in operating any and all of the facilities serving the Premises.

If any utilities and services are not supplied and separately metered to the Premises, Licensee shall pay Licensee’s Proportionate Share (as defined pursuant to Article 5(b)) of all utilities and services serving the Property in common with other occupants of the Property.







No interruption or failure of utilities shall result in the termination of this Agreement or the abatement of rent, except as expressly provided below.







Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that such interruption or cessation of utilities is the result of Licensor’s negligent or willful act or omission and such interruption or cessation of utilities continues beyond three (3) business days from the date of such interruption or cessation, then, provided Licensee has delivered Licensor with prompt notice of such interruption, the Annual Base Fee under this Agreement will abate, commencing on the fourth (4th) day of such interruption or cessation, and continuing until the date on which the utilities are restored and the Premises are again tenantable.  No abatement of rentals as hereinabove described will apply to the extent such interruption of utilities is the result of Licensee’s alterations to the Premises or Capital Improvements, or any negligent act or omission of Licensee, its agents, employees or contractors, or any cause other than the negligent or willful act or omission of Licensor or its employees, agents or contractors.

Licensor shall pay all real property taxes and general and special assessments, which assessments shall be amortized over the longest period permitted by law (“Real Property Taxes”) applicable to the Property, provided, however, that Licensee shall pay as Additional Fees, Licensee’s Proportionate Share of such amount in accordance with Article 5(b).  Licensee shall not be required to pay any federal, state or local income, profit, franchise, rent, sales, gift, estate, succession, inheritance, foreign ownership, foreign control, transfer, capital levy, and/or personal property taxes of Licensor, or any increases in Real Property Taxes that result from changes in ownership of the Property.  Licensor acknowledges and agrees that Licensee shall have no obligation or responsibility to make filings on behalf of Licensor with respect to any tax matters, nor shall Licensee be responsible for any penalties or interest payments required to be paid as a result of Licensor’s failure to make such filings or timely pay such Real Property Taxes.  Licensor shall advise Licensee of the initial monthly payment amount due for Real Property Taxes on or before the Commencement Date hereof.







Article 14.     Damage or Destruction.  Should the Property be damaged by fire or other casualty, the following shall result:







(a)  Should the Premises be rendered wholly unfit for occupancy and not be (in the reasonable judgment of Licensor and Licensee) susceptible of repair within one hundred fifty (150) days after the date of such damage, this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of such damage, and Licensee shall pay the Fees apportioned to the time of such damage and surrender the Premises to Licensor within a reasonably practical period of time thereafter;







(b)  Should such damage to the Premises, however, be (in the reasonable judgment of Licensor and Licensee) susceptible of repair within one hundred fifty (150) days after such occurrence, Licensor, at Licensor’s sole cost and expense, shall enter and make repairs, without affecting this Agreement, but the Fees shall be reduced or abated as shall be equitable while such repairs are being made.







Damage to the Property which affects Licensee’s access to the Premises or Licensee’s use of the Premises shall be treated as damage to the Premises pursuant to subparagraphs (a) and (b) above.

Article 15.     Condemnation.







(a)  If the Property shall be taken or condemned for any public purpose, or purchased under threat of such taking, to such an extent as to render the Premises untenantable, this Agreement shall, at the option of either party, forthwith cease and terminate as of the date title vests in the condemning authority or the date the condemning authority takes possession, whichever shall occur first.  Licensor and Licensee shall be entitled to receive their shares of the condemnation award as their interests may appear.







(b)  In the event this Agreement is not terminated as contemplated by subparagraph (a) above, Licensor shall promptly restore the Property (including the Premises) to substantially the same condition as the Property was in as of the Commencement Date (with the exception of those portions of the Property taken), and Base Annual Fee and Licensee’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses shall be proportionately adjusted.

If there is a security breach that relates to the obligations, the parties shall, subject to any applicable law, cooperate with each other regarding the timing and manner of (a) notification to their respective customers, potential customers, employees and/or agents concerning a breach or potential breach of security and (b) disclosures to appropriate Governmental Authorities.

If, at any time, either party determines that any personnel of the other party or its affiliates has sought to circumvent, or has circumvented, its Security Regulations, that any unauthorized personnel of the other party or its affiliates has accessed its Systems or that any personnel of the other party or its affiliates has engaged in activities that may lead to the unauthorized access, use, destruction, alteration or loss of data, information or software, such party shall immediately terminate any such personnel’s access to the Systems and immediately notify the other party.







Licensor, Licensee and their respective personnel, shall access and use only those Systems, and only such data and information within such Systems to which it has been granted the right to access and use.
