ARTICLE 2

Premises and Term

2.1Premises.  Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord, subject to and with the benefit of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease, excluding exterior faces of exterior walls, the common lobbies, hallways, stairways, stairwells and other common areas, and the pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures and other common facilities serving the common areas, the Premises and the premises of other tenants in the Building.

Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, rights to use, in common with others, subject to reasonable rules of general applicability to tenants of the Building from time to time made by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice: (a) the common lobbies, hallways and stairways of the Building, (b) the common pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures and other common facilities serving the Premises, (c) common walkways and driveways (if any) necessary for access to the Building, and (d) if the Premises include less than all of the rentable 

{B2323618; 13}

- 3 -



 

area of any floor of the Building, the common toilets and other common facilities located on such floor.

2.2Term.  The term of this Lease shall be for a period beginning on the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 1.1) and continuing for the Original Term and any extension of the term hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.  When the dates of the beginning and end of the Original Term have been determined such dates shall be evidenced by a confirmatory document executed by Landlord and Tenant in the form substantially as shown on Exhibit F hereto and delivered each to the other, but the failure of Landlord and Tenant to execute or deliver such document shall have no effect upon such dates. The Original Term and any extension of the term hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Lease is hereinafter referred to as the “term” of this Lease.

2.3Early Access.  From the date which is three (3) Business Days following the Date of this Lease to May 30, 2019 (and provided Landlord shall have received a copy of each of Tenant’s certificates of insurance therefor pursuant to Subsection 4.4.2 hereof) (the “Early Access Period”), Tenant and its contractors shall have access to the Premises for the purposes of planning and designing Tenant’s Work, provided that (i) Tenant shall not perform Tenant’s Work or any other alterations, additions or improvements during such period of early access and (ii) Tenant shall coordinate any such access with Landlord in advance.

Commencing on June 1, 2019 (and provided Landlord shall have received a copy of each of Tenant’s certificates of insurance therefor pursuant to Subsection 4.4.2 hereof), Tenant and its contractors shall have access to the Premises for the purposes of designing, and after Tenant’s Plans (as defined in Section 3.2) have been approved by Landlord, performing Tenant’s Work (as defined in Section 3.2), installing furniture, fixtures and telecommunications equipment and otherwise preparing the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, and commencing on June 1, 2019, all obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall apply as if the term of this Lease had commenced, except that Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Annual Fixed Rent or to pay Additional Rent for Taxes or Operating Costs until the Commencement Date.  Notwithstanding that the term of this Lease shall not commence until the Commencement Date, during such period of early access Landlord’s obligations under Sections 5.6 and 5.7 shall apply, and Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the loading dock and other common areas and facilities of the Building and shall furnish electricity and water to the Premises as required by this Lease, as if the Commencement Date had occurred.

2.4Extension Option.  So long as this Lease is still in full force and effect, and subject to the Conditions (as hereinafter defined), which Landlord may waive, in its discretion, at any time, but only by notice to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional period (the “Extended Term(s)”) of five (5) years, commencing on March 1, 2031, and ending on February 29, 2036.  All of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease applicable immediately prior to the expiration of the Original Term shall apply to the Extended Term except that (i) the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term shall be the Market Rate (as hereinafter defined) for the Premises determined as of the commencement of such Extended Term, as designated by Landlord by notice to Tenant (“Landlord’s Notice”), but subject to Tenant’s right to dispute as hereinafter provided; and (ii) Tenant shall have no further right to extend the term of this Lease beyond the Extended Term hereinabove provided.  If Tenant shall so request by notice to Landlord not earlier than November 30, 2029, Landlord shall 

{B2323618; 13}

- 4 -



 

give Tenant its Landlord Notice within thirty (30) days of such request.  If Tenant shall elect to exercise the aforesaid option, it shall do so by giving Landlord notice (an “Election Notice”) of its election not later than February 28, 2030.  If Tenant fails to give such Election Notice to Landlord or the Conditions are neither satisfied nor waived by Landlord, the term of this Lease shall automatically terminate no later than the end of the Original Term, and Tenant shall have no further option to extend the term of this Lease, it being agreed that time is of the essence with respect to the giving of such Election Notice.  If Tenant shall extend the term hereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.4, such extension shall (subject to satisfaction of the Conditions, unless waived by Landlord) be automatically effected without the execution of any additional documents, but Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, execute an agreement confirming the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term.  The “Conditions” are that, as of the date of the Election Notice there shall exist no Default of Tenant and the named Tenant as set forth in Section 1.1 (or any successor by Merger, or any Affiliate as defined in Subsection 6.2.1) shall actually occupy the entire Premises.

“Market Rate” shall mean the then fair market annual rent for the Premises for the Extended Term (determined as set forth below) with annual increases and concessions for rental abatement and tenant improvement allowances consistent with market renewals in the greater Clarksburg area for premises comparable to the Premises.  If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s designation of the Market Rate, then Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s Notice (failure to provide such notice of disagreement within such 20-day period constituting acceptance by Tenant of Market Rate as set forth in Landlord’s Notice); and if the parties cannot agree upon the Market Rate by the date that is thirty (30) days following Landlord’s Notice, then the Market Rate shall be submitted to appraisal as follows:  Within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each give notice to the other specifying the name and address of the appraiser each has chosen.  The two appraisers so chosen shall meet within ten (10) days after the second appraiser is appointed and if, within twenty (20) days after the second appraiser is appointed, the two appraisers shall not agree upon a determination of the Market Rate in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.3 they shall together appoint a third appraiser.  If only one party shall appoint an appraiser, as provided by this Section 2.4, who shall have the qualifications hereinafter set forth, that sole appraiser shall render the decision which would otherwise have been made as hereinabove provided.

If said two appraisers cannot agree upon the appointment of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, then either party, on behalf of both and on notice to the other, may request such appointment by the then President of the Real Estate Board (or any similar or successor organization) for the greater Clarksburg area in accordance with its then prevailing rules.  If said President shall fail to appoint said third appraiser within ten (10) days after such request is made, then either party, on behalf of both and on notice to the other, may request such appointment by the American Arbitration Association (or any successor organization) in accordance with its then prevailing rules.  In the event that all three appraisers cannot agree upon such Market Rate within ten (10) days after the third appraiser shall have been selected, then each appraiser shall submit his or her designation of such Market Rate to the other two appraisers in writing; and Market Rate shall be determined by calculating the average of the two numerically closest (or, if the values are equidistant, all three) values so determined.

{B2323618; 13}

- 5 -



 

Each of the appraisers selected as herein provided shall have at least ten (10) years experience as a commercial real estate broker in the greater Clarksburg area dealing with properties of the same type and quality as the Building.  Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser it has selected and the fees of its own counsel.  Each party shall pay one half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser (or the sole appraiser, if applicable) and all other expenses of the appraisal.  The decision and award of the appraiser(s) shall be in writing and shall be final and conclusive on all parties, and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to both Landlord and Tenant.  Judgment upon the award of the appraiser(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The appraiser(s) shall determine the Market Rate of the Premises for the Extended Term and render a decision and award as to their determination to both Landlord and Tenant (a) within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, (b) within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third appraiser or (c) within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the sole appraiser, as the case may be.  In rendering such decision and award, the appraiser(s) shall assume (i) that neither Landlord nor the prospective tenant is under a compulsion to rent, and that Landlord and Tenant are typically motivated, well‐informed and well‐advised, and each is acting in what it considers its own best interest, (ii) the Premises are fit for immediate occupancy and use “as is”, (iii) that in the event the Premises have been damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, they have been fully restored.  The appraisers shall also take into consideration the rents contained in leases for comparable space in the Building, or in comparable buildings in the greater Clarksburg area, for comparable periods of time.

If the dispute between the parties as to the Market Rate has not been resolved before the commencement of Tenant’s obligation to pay the Annual Fixed Rent based upon determination of such Market Rate, then Tenant shall pay the Annual Fixed Rent under the Lease based upon the Market Rate designated by Landlord in Landlord’s Notice until either the agreement of the parties as to the Market Rate, or the decision of the appraiser(s), as the case may be, at which time Tenant shall pay any underpayment of the Annual Fixed Rent to Landlord, or Landlord shall refund any overpayment of the Annual Fixed Rent to Tenant.

Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the right to an evidentiary hearing before the appraiser(s) and agree that the appraisal shall not be an arbitration nor be subject to state or federal law relating to arbitrations.

2.5Right of First Offer.  So long as (i) there then exists no Default of Tenant, (ii) the Tenant named in Section 1.1 of this Lease (or any successor by Merger and/or any Affiliate) shall occupy the entire Premises, and (iii) this Lease is still in full force and effect, then if any space in the Building shall become available for lease by Landlord following the expiration or sooner termination of the first lease of such space after the Date of this Lease, Landlord shall so notify Tenant, and shall identify the space available (the “Offered Space”) together with the rental rate and other terms and conditions (collectively, the “Terms”) under which in good faith Landlord intends to offer such space to third parties (which may include a term not co-terminus with that applicable to the Premises then demised to Tenant under the Lease) and the date on which such Offered Space is expected to be available, and Tenant may, by giving notice to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt of such notice, irrevocably elect to lease all, but not less than all, of the Offered Space on the Terms. If Tenant shall have so elected to lease the 

{B2323618; 13}

- 6 -



 

Offered Space, it shall enter into an amendment to this Lease within ten (10) days after it shall have received the same from Landlord, confirming the lease of such Offered Space to Tenant on the Terms.  If Tenant shall not elect to lease the Offered Space within the aforesaid five-day period, then Landlord shall thereafter be free to lease any or all of such Offered Space to a third party or parties from time to time on such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, it being agreed that time is of the essence with respect to the exercise of Tenant’s rights hereunder.

The provisions hereof shall not apply to the initial lease of any space after the Date of this Lease (i.e. no space in the Building shall be subject to Tenant’s rights hereunder until that space shall have been subject to a lease entered into after the Date of this Lease), nor shall the provisions hereof apply, and space shall not be deemed “available for lease” hereunder, if Landlord shall intend either (a) to enter into a lease of such space to any party pursuant to the terms of a lease in effect as of the Date of this Lease or to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Landlord or (b) to renew or extend the lease with (or grant a new lease to) the entity (or any party affiliated with such entity) then occupying such space.

2.6Measurement of the Premises.  Landlord and Tenant agree that the Premises Rentable Area identified in Section 1.1 is recited for administrative purposes only and that, although the Annual Fixed Rent has been determined by reference to such square footage (regardless of the possibility that the actual measurement of the Premises may be more or less than the number identified, irrespective of measurement method used), Annual Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Percentage shall not be changed except as expressly provided in this Lease.

ARTICLE 3

Commencement and Condition

3.1Condition at Delivery.   Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall complete all of the work required to cause the Premises to be separated from the balance of the space on the first floor of the Building so that the Premises are separately demised and independently functional in compliance with all applicable laws and codes and Landlord’s Building standards. Such work (the “Demising Work”) shall include, without limitation, the installation of necessary demising walls and doorways and modification of the HVAC ductwork, electrical service, plumbing service (if any) and fire/life-safety systems as necessary. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant with the Demising Work complete except for so-called punch list work which need not be complete for Tenant to commence Tenant’s Work (as defined in Section 3.2) and which can be completed by Landlord after Tenant has begun Tenant’s Work without interfering in any material respect with the completion of Tenant’s Work.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete all punch list work not later than thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date and Tenant agrees to give Landlord reasonable access to the Premises for such purpose. In addition to the Demising Work, prior to the Commencement Date Landlord shall stripe those areas of the Parking Facility, as defined in Section 5.4 below, which are currently not striped but which Landlord determines may be used as additional parking, to indicate that such areas are parking spaces (the “Parking Facility Work”).  Except as affected by the Demising Work and the Parking Facility Work, the Premises shall be delivered to Tenant in the condition in which they are in as of the Date of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that no representations as to the condition or repair of the Premises or promises to alter, remodel or 

{B2323618; 13}

- 7 -



 

improve either have been made by Landlord or any agents of Landlord except to the extent expressly set forth in this Lease.

3.2Preparation of Premises.

(a)Tenant shall be responsible for making any alterations or improvements to the Premises required by Tenant, all of which shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense except that Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance as hereinafter described as a contribution toward the costs incurred by Tenant to design and construct Tenant’s initial alterations and improvements to the Premises. Tenant shall cause an architect licensed in the State of Maryland to prepare complete construction plans and specifications for said initial alterations and improvements (“Tenant’s Plans”) in accordance with the requirements of Exhibit C attached hereto. Tenant’s Plans shall be subject to review and approval by Landlord as provided in Exhibit C. Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s Plans (either by approval, request for additional information, request for revision or communication of a reason for failure to approve) within five (5) Business Days (as defined in the Rules and Regulations) after the date of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Plans or any resubmission, plus such additional period of time, not to exceed an additional ten (10) Business Days, as may be necessary for review of Tenant’s Plans by a third-party architect, engineer or other consultant if Landlord determines that any aspect of Tenant’s Plans requires such third-party review. Until Landlord shall have unconditionally approved all of Tenant’s Plans, Tenant, shall deliver to Landlord such additional information, documentation and/or revisions to Tenant’s Plans as are necessary to obtain Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Plans and this process shall continue until Tenant’s Plans are approved by Landlord. 

(b)Upon approval of Tenant’s Plans by Landlord (and provided Landlord shall have delivered the Premises to Tenant), Tenant shall cause its contractor(s) (selected by Tenant, but subject to approval by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to perform the work and improvements described on Tenant’s Plans (collectively, “Tenant’s Work” ) diligently and continuously until Tenant’s Work is completed. Tenant’s Work shall be performed in accordance with Tenant’s Plans, using materials and/or installations meeting or exceeding Landlord’s minimum standards for the Building and in accordance with the requirements of Exhibit C and all applicable provisions of Article 6.  Tenant agrees (i) to cease promptly upon notice from Landlord any activity or work which has not been approved by Landlord (where such approval is required) or is not in compliance with the provisions of this Lease, and (ii) to comply and cause its contractors to comply promptly with all reasonable procedures and regulations prescribed by Landlord from time to time. Tenant’s Work may include the purchase for the Premises and installation of any Supplemental HVAC Equipment and the UPS System, as such terms are defined below. 

(c)Tenant’s Work shall be considered substantially complete and the “Substantial Completion Date” shall occur on the first day as of which all of the following requirements have been met: (i) all work shown and described in Tenant’s Plans has been completed, with only punchlist items (i.e., minor and insubstantial details of decoration or mechanical adjustment) excepted; (ii) Tenant’s architect has issued a certificate of substantial completion on the standard AIA form or a reasonable equivalent, and a copy thereof together with record “as built” drawings in paper and electronic (CAD) format showing all alterations as actually constructed have been delivered to Landlord; (iii) all electrical, mechanical, plumbing and HVAC facilities installed by Tenant are functioning properly and if the alterations include 

{B2323618; 13}

any HVAC work, Tenant has provided to Landlord a copy of an air balancing report signed by a professional engineer showing that the HVAC system is properly balanced for the season; (iv) the Premises are reasonably free of debris and construction materials, (v) all required governmental inspections have been successfully completed and a final certificate of occupancy has been issued and a copy thereof delivered Landlord; (vi) Tenant shall have certified to Landlord the names of all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers which were engaged in Tenant’s Work and delivered to Landlord final lien waivers from all such parties; and (vii) Tenant shall have provided to Landlord copies of all warranties and guarantees received from the contractors, subcontractors and suppliers or manufacturers and copies of all maintenance manuals, instructions and similar information pertaining to the operation and maintenance of fixtures installed in the Premises as part of Tenant’s Work. 

(d)Provided this Lease is then in full force and effect, Landlord shall make an improvement allowance (“Landlord’s Contribution”) available to Tenant in accordance with this Section 3.2 in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $1,472,100.00, or (ii) the actual amount of the third-party cost of Tenant’s Work. For purposes of this Section 3.2(d), the “cost” of Tenant’s Work shall mean the actual third-party costs incurred by Tenant in connection with performing Tenant’s Work including, without limitation, all architectural and engineering fees and expenses; all contractor charges for the cost of labor and materials, profit, general conditions and overhead and supervision; all filing fees and other permitting costs and fees paid to independent construction managers, if any, plus a supervisory and review fee, to be retained by Landlord (i.e., to be subtracted from Landlord’s Contribution), equal to one percent (1%) of the hard costs of Tenant’s Work, which hard costs shall mean, for purposes of this Section 3.2(d), all contractor charges for the cost of labor and materials, profit, general conditions and overhead and supervision incurred in connection with Tenant’s Work. 

Tenant may requisition Landlord for payment of Landlord’s Contribution monthly (hereinafter “Progress Payments”) provided that Landlord may withhold ten percent (10%) of the amount due on each requisition paid prior to the substantial completion of Tenant’s Work until the Final Payment (as hereinafter defined). Each requisition for a Progress Payment shall include (i) a detailed breakdown of the costs of Tenant’s Work included in the requisition, (ii) copies of invoices from Tenant’s contractors, suppliers and others, as applicable, substantiating such costs, and (iii) executed waivers of mechanic’s or material supplier’s liens (in such form as Landlord shall reasonably require) on account of any labor and/or materials furnished by such party through the date of the requisition (provided that any such waiver may be conditioned upon receipt of the amount requested for such party in the requisition).  Landlord shall make each Progress Payment (in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (x) the costs of Tenant’s Work, as evidenced by the documentation submitted with the applicable requisition, or (y) the balance of Landlord’s Contribution then remaining, less amounts retained by Landlord as hereinabove provided) to Tenant or, at Tenant’s election, to Tenant’s general contractor within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Progress Payment requisition with all required supporting documentation. 

After the Substantial Completion Date shall have occurred, Tenant may request in writing that Landlord make payment of the balance of Landlord’s Contribution and all retained amounts other than Landlord’s supervisory and review fee (the “Final Payment” ). Tenant’s requisition for the Final Payment shall include (i) a final, detailed breakdown of all of the costs of Tenant’s Work, (ii) final mechanic’s and material supplier’s lien waivers therefor (provided that any such

Landlord shall make payment of the Final Payment in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the unreimbursed cost of Tenant’s Work, as evidenced by the documentation submitted with the requisition for the Final Payment or (y) the balance of Landlord’s Contribution then remaining, if any (including any retained amounts other than Landlord’s supervisory and review fee), to Tenant (or at Tenant’s request, to its general contractor) within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a requisition for the Final Payment with all required supporting documentation. 

 

If the cost of Tenant’s Work shall total less than $1,472,100.00, then the lesser of (x) the difference between the cost of Tenant’s Work and $1,472,100.00, or (y) $294,420.00 (such lesser amount being the “Balance”) may be used by Tenant as reimbursement for (i) the purchase of furniture, trade fixtures and equipment for the Premises, (ii) the purchase and installation of cabling for the Premises and (iii) signage and other move related expenses, as well as any other soft costs. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such costs (in an amount equal to the lesser of the invoices submitted by Tenant or the Balance) within thirty (30) days after Tenant submits to Landlord invoices for such costs.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to make payment of Landlord’s Contribution (a) if (or to the extent) Tenant shall not have submitted paid invoices for Tenant’s Work together with all required supporting documentation by December 31, 2020, time being of the essence, or (b) at a time when there exists any Default of Tenant and/or (c) if this Lease shall have terminated. Any balance of Landlord’s Contribution which Landlord is not required to reimburse to Tenant pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be the property of Landlord.

 

3.3Construction Representatives.  Both Landlord and Tenant shall appoint one individual as its “Construction Representative” who is authorized to act on its behalf in connection with any matters arising pursuant to this Article 3.  The Construction Representative may be changed from time to time by notice hereunder from the then current Construction Representative to the other party’s Construction Representative or by notice from Landlord or Tenant pursuant to Section 10.1.  Notwithstanding Section 10.1, any notices or other communication under this Article 3 may be made by letter or other writing sent by U.S. mail, facsimile or email, provided the communication is made by one party’s Construction Representative to the other party’s Construction Representative. 

ARTICLE 4

Rent, Additional Rent, Insurance and Other Charges

4.1The Annual Fixed Rent.  Tenant shall pay Annual Fixed Rent to Landlord, or as otherwise directed by Landlord, without offset, abatement (except as provided in Article 7), deduction or demand.  Annual Fixed Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each and every calendar month during the term of this Lease, by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to the account set forth in Section 1.1, or in such other manner, or to such other account as Landlord shall from time to time designate by notice to Tenant.

{B2323618; 13}

- 10 -



 

Annual Fixed Rent for any partial month shall be prorated on a daily basis (based on a 360 day year), and if Annual Fixed Rent commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the first payment which Tenant shall make to Landlord shall be payable on the date Annual Fixed Rent commences and shall be equal to such pro-rated amount plus the installment of Annual Fixed Rent for the succeeding calendar month.

4.2Additional Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Percentage of Taxes and Operating Costs as provided in Subsections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, and all other charges and amounts payable by or due from Tenant to Landlord (all such amounts referred to in this sentence being “Additional Rent”).

4.2.1Real Estate Taxes.  If Taxes (as hereinafter defined) assessed against the Property (or estimated to be due by governmental authority) for any fiscal tax period (a “Tax Year”) during the term of this Lease shall exceed Base Taxes, whether due to increase in rate or reassessment of the Property, or both, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor, as Additional Rent, in an amount equal to Tenant’s Percentage of any such excess (the “Tax Excess”).  Except as otherwise provided in the immediately following paragraph, Tenant shall pay the Tax Excess to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the date or dates within any year during the term hereof that the same, or any fractional share thereof, shall be due and payable to any governmental authority responsible for collection of same (as stated in a notice to Tenant given at least twenty (20) days prior to the date or dates any such payment shall be due, which notice shall set forth the manner of computation of any Tax Excess due from Tenant, except that such payment shall be made to Landlord not later than ten (10) days after such notice to Tenant if such notice is given subsequent to the date twenty (20) days prior to the date the same is due and payable as aforesaid).

At Landlord’s election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent on the first day of each calendar month during the term but otherwise in the manner provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent, estimated payments on account of the Tax Excess, such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide Landlord by the time Tax payments are due or are to be made by Landlord a sum equal to the Tax Excess, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time on account of Taxes for the then current Tax Year.  If the total of such monthly remittances for any Tax Year is greater than the Tax Excess for such Tax Year, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against Tenant’s subsequent obligations on account of Additional Rent until the overpayment is fully credited (or promptly refund such overpayment if the term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord); if the total of such remittances is less than the Tax Excess for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being so notified by Landlord.

If, after Tenant shall have made all payments due to Landlord pursuant to this Subsection 4.2.1, Landlord shall receive a refund of any portion of Taxes as a result of an abatement of such Taxes by legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise (without either party having any obligation to undertake any such proceedings), Landlord shall pay or credit to Tenant Tenant’s Percentage of that percentage of the refund (after first deducting any expenses, including attorneys’, consultants’ and appraisers’ fees, incurred in connection with obtaining any such refund) which equals the percentage of the applicable Tax Year included in the term hereof, provided however, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive more than the sum of payments actually made by 

{B2323618; 13}

- 11 -



 

Tenant on account of Taxes with respect to such Tax Year or to receive any payment if Taxes for any Tax Year are less than Base Taxes.

In the event that the Commencement Date shall occur or the term of this Lease shall expire or be terminated during any Tax Year, or should the Tax Year or period of assessment of Taxes be changed or be more or less than one (1) year, or should Tenant’s Percentage be modified during any Tax Year due to a change in the rentable area of the Building and/or the Premises or otherwise, as the case may be, then the amount of Tax Excess which may be otherwise payable by Tenant as provided in this Subsection 4.2.1 shall be pro-rated on a daily basis based on a 360 day Tax Year.

“Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments, excises and other charges and impositions which are general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, of any kind or nature which are levied, assessed or imposed by any governmental authority upon or against or with respect to the Property.  If, at any time, any tax or excise on rents or other taxes, however described, are levied or assessed against Landlord, either wholly or partially in substitution for, or in addition to, real estate taxes assessed or levied on the Property, such tax or excise on rents or other taxes shall be included in Taxes; however, Taxes shall not include franchise, estate, inheritance, income (except to the extent that a tax on income or revenue is levied solely on rental revenues and not on other types of income and then only from rental revenue generated by the Property) or capital levy taxes assessed on Landlord.  Taxes also shall include all court costs, attorneys’, consultants’ and accountants’ fees, and other expenses incurred by Landlord in analyzing and contesting Taxes through and including all appeals.  Taxes shall include any estimated payment made by Landlord on account of a fiscal tax period for which the actual and final amount of taxes for such period has not been determined by the governmental authority as of the date of any such estimated payment.

4.2.2Operating Costs.  If, during the term hereof, Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) paid or incurred by Landlord in any twelve‐month period established by Landlord (an “Operating Year”) shall exceed Base Operating Costs, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the Tenant’s Percentage of any such excess (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Operating Cost Excess”).  Except as otherwise provided in the immediately following paragraph Tenant shall pay the Operating Cost Excess to Landlord within twenty (20) days from the date Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an itemized statement thereof.  Any year-end statement by Landlord relating to Operating Costs (other than an invoice for a monthly estimate) shall be final and binding upon Tenant unless it shall within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof, contest any items therein by giving notice to Landlord specifying each item contested and the reasons therefor.

At the election of Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent on the first day of each calendar month during the term but otherwise in the manner provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent, estimated payments on account of Operating Cost Excess, such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide to Landlord, by the end of each Operating Year, a sum equal to the Operating Cost Excess for such Operating Year, as estimated by Landlord from time to time during such Operating Year.  If, at the expiration of each Operating Year in respect of which monthly installments of Operating Cost Excess shall have been made as aforesaid, the total of such monthly remittances is greater than the Operating Cost Excess for such Operating Year, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against Tenant’s subsequent obligations on 

{B2323618; 13}

- 12 -



 

account of Additional Rent until the overpayment is fully credited (or promptly refund such overpayment if the term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); if the total of such remittances is less than the Operating Cost Excess for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord.  In no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any reimbursement or credit if Operating Costs for any Operating Year are less than Base Operating Costs.

In the event that the Commencement Date shall occur or the term of this Lease shall expire or be terminated during any Operating Year or Tenant’s Percentage shall be modified during any Operating Year due to a change in the rentable area of the Building and/or the Premises or otherwise, as the case may be, then the amount of Operating Cost Excess which may be payable by Tenant as provided in this Subsection 4.2.2 shall be pro-rated on a daily basis based on a 360 day Operating Year.

“Operating Costs” shall mean all costs and expenses paid or incurred for the operation, cleaning, management, maintenance, repair and upkeep of the Property, including, without limitation:

(a)all salaries, wages, fringe benefits, payroll taxes and workmen’s compensation insurance premiums related thereto and all other costs paid or incurred with respect to employment of personnel engaged in operation, administration, cleaning, maintenance, repair, upkeep and security of the Property including, without limitation, supervisors, property managers, accountants, bookkeepers, janitors, carpenters, engineers, mechanics, electricians and plumbers;

(h)a management fee of up to three (3%) percent of gross rents payable by tenants of the Property; and

(i)actual, out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and disbursements (exclusive of any such fees and disbursements incurred in tax abatement proceedings or in the preparation of leases) and auditing and other professional fees and expenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Lease, Operating Costs shall not include the following:

(ii)Costs, including marketing costs, legal fees, space planner’s fees, and brokerage fees incurred in connection with the original construction and development of the Property or the original or future leasing of the Property, and costs, including permit, license and inspection costs and allowances and other costs incurred with respect to the installation of tenant improvements made for new tenants in the Property or incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant leasable space for tenants or other occupants (or prospective tenants or occupants) of the Property;

(v) costs for which Landlord is separately reimbursed by any tenant or occupant of the Property (other than pursuant to an operating cost clause) or by insurance by its carrier or any tenant’s carrier (or if Landlord fails to carry insurance required to be carried by Landlord under this Lease, costs which would have been covered by insurance had Landlord obtained the coverage required to be carried under this Lease) or by anyone else, and utility costs paid for by any tenant directly;

{B2323618; 13}

- 14 -



 

(vi)any bad debt loss, rent loss, or reserves for bad debts or rent loss;

(viii)any amounts paid as ground rental for the Property by Landlord:

(x)the costs of removing or remediating Hazardous Materials that were placed or released in, on or under the Property by Landlord, another tenant, or Landlord’s or another tenant’s agents, contractors or employees;

(xi)costs arising from Landlord’s charitable or political contributions;

(xii)the amount of any payments by Landlord to its affiliates for goods or services for the Property in excess of a competitive rate charged at properties comparable to the Building, except as otherwise provided in this Lease; and

(xiii)costs incurred in connection with the financing, refinancing, mortgaging, selling or change of ownership of the Property including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, fees of consultants, attorneys, and accountants, closing costs, title insurance premiums, transfer taxes, recording fees and interest charges.

(xiv)all costs associated with the operation of the business of the entity which constitutes Landlord (e.g., placement fees for employees, corporate accounting and employee training costs) as distinguished from costs incurred in the operation of the Property;

(xv)costs and liabilities (including, without limitation, costs and liabilities for indemnity) arising from Landlord’s, or its agents’ or contractors’, negligence or intentional misconduct, or breach, violation, or nonperformance of any term, covenant or provision of this Lease, any other lease in the Building, or any law, ordinance or governmental requirement; and

(xvi)costs incurred by Landlord to correct any condition of the Building or Property that is in violation of any Laws as of the Commencement Date.

If, during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall make any capital expenditure, the total cost thereof shall not be included in Operating Costs for the Operating Year in which it was made, but Landlord may include in Operating Costs for such Operating Year in which such expenditure was made and in Operating Costs for each succeeding Operating Year an annual charge‐off of such capital expenditure, provided such expenditure is (i) made to comply with any law, rule, regulation, order or ordinance, or any amendment thereto or interpretation thereof, first enacted after the date the Building was constructed, or (ii) made to protect the health, safety of the occupants of the Property, or (iii) made to replace worn out or obsolete items or to keep the Property in first-class condition, or (iv) designed to reduce Operating Costs, and then such amounts may be included only to the extent of actual Operating Expense savings. Annual charge‐offs shall be determined by dividing the original capital expenditure plus interest at the 

{B2323618; 13}

- 15 -



 

Prime Rate plus two hundred basis points, by the number of years of useful life of the improvement, repair, alteration or replacement made with the capital expenditure; and the useful life shall be determined reasonably by Landlord in accordance with then prevailing customs and practices of the real estate industry, consistently applied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any capital expenditures required as a result of (i) Tenant’s Work except for expenditures required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, or (ii) any installations, alterations or additions to the Premises made by Tenant after the Commencement Date, or (iii) any particular use of the Premises by Tenant shall be borne by Tenant alone and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent (unless included within Landlord’s Contribution) in the Operating Year in which such expenditures are incurred.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Subsection 4.2.2 to the contrary, for purposes of computing Tenant’s Operating Cost Excess under this Lease, in no event shall the amount of Controllable Operating Costs, as hereinafter defined, included in Operating Costs for any Operating Year exceed the Controllable Cost Cap, as hereinafter defined, for such Operating Year. If, pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, any portion of Controllable Operating Costs is excluded from Operating Costs in an Operating Year, such amount shall accrue and shall be included in Operating Costs (as Controllable Operating Costs) with respect to the next following Operating Year, subject to the Controllable Cost Cap for such Operating Year. Such accrual shall continue until such amount has been fully included in Operating Costs for an Operating Year and Tenant has paid Tenant’s Operating Cost Excess on account thereof notwithstanding the effect of the Controllable Cost Cap; however Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any Controllable Operating Costs which remain accrued and have not been included in Operating Costs as of the end of the Operating Year during which the term of this Lease expires. For the purposes of this paragraph the following definitions shall apply: 

(a)“Controllable Operating Costs” shall mean all Operating Costs, except for the following, which shall not be subject to the limitations on increases described above: (i) the utility costs described in subparagraph (b) of the preceding definition of Operating Costs; (ii) the insurance costs described in subparagraph (e) of the preceding definition of Operating Costs; (iii) the costs described in subparagraph (a) of the preceding definition of Operating Costs which are governed or established by collective bargaining agreements or federal or state minimum wage laws; (iv) the management fees described in subparagraph (h) of the preceding definition of Operating Costs, and (v) the costs of snow and ice treatment and removal. 

(b)“Controllable Cost Cap” shall mean (i) for the 2020 Operating Year, one hundred percent (100%) of the Controllable Operating Costs (i.e. the amount thereof shall not be limited for such year), and (ii) for each succeeding Operating Year, one hundred five percent (105%) of the amount of the Controllable Cost Cap for the immediately preceding Operating Year.

In addition, if during any portion of any Operating Year for which Operating Costs are being computed (including any period used to compute Base Operating Costs), less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Building was leased to tenants or if Landlord is supplying less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Building with the services and utilities being supplied hereunder, Landlord may, at its option, reasonably project, on an item-by-item basis, the Operating Costs that would have been incurred if ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building were occupied for such Operating Year and such services and 

{B2323618; 13}

- 16 -



 

utilities were being supplied to ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Building, and such projected amount shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be the Operating Costs for such Operating Year.

Provided Tenant shall have paid all amounts invoiced by Landlord on account of Operating Costs for the applicable Operating Year, Landlord shall permit Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense except as hereinafter provided, to review any of Landlord’s invoices and statements (“Records”) relating to Operating Costs for such Operating Year at the place where such Records are customarily maintained by Landlord, provided such review is requested by Tenant by notice given to Landlord not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s final statement of Operating Costs for the applicable Operating Year (the “Final Statement”) and thereafter undertaken by Tenant or its accountants (provided such accountants are compensated at usual hourly rate and not on a contingency fee basis) with due diligence. Landlord shall make such Records available to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt of Tenant’s request.  If any of Landlord’s Records (or copies thereof) are not customarily maintained at Landlord’s office in the Clarksburg area, then, at Landlord’s expense, Landlord shall have copies of such Records made and sent to Landlord’s Clarksburg area office so that Tenant may conduct its examination at such office. Landlord may provide the Records to Tenant electronically. If Tenant objects to Landlord’s determination of Operating Costs for any Operating Year, Tenant shall give Landlord notice (a “Dispute Notice”) that Tenant disputes the correctness of such determination, specifying each item contested and the reasons therefor, not later than the later of (a) one hundred and twenty (120) days after delivery of the Final Statement for such Operating Year, or (b) forty-five (45) days after Landlord makes available the Records relating to Operating Costs for such Operating Year if Tenant submitted a timely request to review such documentation. If Tenant fails to give the Dispute Notice within the time period specified in the preceding sentence, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any and all objections to such Final Statement. If such dispute has not been settled by agreement within two (2) months after the giving of the Dispute Notice, either party may submit the dispute to arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

If it should be agreed or decided that Operating Costs were overstated by five percent (5%) or more, then Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in reviewing the Records, Tenant’s reasonable arbitration costs, not to exceed $2,500.00, plus any excess amount paid by Tenant on account of overstated Operating Costs with interest at the Default Rate. If it should be agreed or decided that Operating Costs were not overstated at all, then Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, promptly reimburse Landlord for its costs incurred in the arbitration, and if it should be agreed or decided that Operating Costs shall have been understated or Tenant shall not have paid Tenant’s Operating Cost Excess in full, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, promptly pay any deficiency. In the event of an overstatement which is less than five percent (5%), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the excess amount paid by Tenant on account of overstated Operating Costs without interest and each party shall be responsible for its own costs incurred in connection with such dispute. Tenant shall keep confidential all agreements involving the rights provided in this section and the results of any audits or arbitration conducted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to furnish the foregoing information to its attorneys and accountants to the extent necessary to perform their respective service for Tenant.

4.3Personal Property and Sales Taxes.  Tenant shall pay all taxes charged, assessed or imposed upon the personal property of Tenant and all taxes on the sales of services or inventory, merchandise and any other goods by Tenant in or upon the Premises.

4.4Insurance.  

4.4.1Insurance Policies.  Tenant shall, at its expense, take out and maintain, throughout the term of this Lease, the following insurance:

4.4.1.1Commercial general liability insurance (on an occurrence basis, including without limitation, contractual liability no less broad than that which is provided by the ISO Commercial General Liability coverage form CG 00 01 04-13, bodily injury, property damage, fire legal liability, and products and completed operations coverage) under which Tenant is named as an insured and Landlord and Landlord’s Agent (and the holder of any mortgage on the Premises or Property, as set out in a notice from time to time) are named as additional insureds as their interests may appear, in an amount which shall, during the Original Term, be at least equal to the Commercial General Liability Insurance Limits, and, which, from time to time thereafter, shall be for such higher limits, if any, as Landlord shall determine to be customarily carried in the area in which the Property is located for premises similar to the Premises which are used for similar purposes and which are located in properties comparable to the Building;

4.4.1.2Worker’s compensation insurance with statutory limits covering all of Tenant’s employees working on the Premises;

4.4.1.3Property insurance on a “replacement cost” basis covering all furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment and other personal property brought to the Premises by Tenant and anyone acting under Tenant and all improvements and betterments to the Premises performed at Tenant’s expense;

4.4.1.4Business income and extra expense insurance covering not less than six (6) months loss of income; and

4.4.1.5Such other insurance, in such amounts, as Landlord shall determine are customarily carried in the area in which the Property is located for premises similar to the Premises which are used for similar purposes and which are located in properties comparable to the Building.

4.4.2Requirements.  All policies of insurance maintained by Tenant shall contain deductibles and self-insured retentions not in excess of that reasonably approved by Landlord (Landlord hereby approving a deductible and self-insured retention of $50,000), shall contain a clause confirming that such policy and the coverage evidenced thereby shall be primary with respect to any insurance policies carried by Landlord and shall be obtained from insurers qualified to do business and in good standing in the State of Maryland having a rating by A.M. Best Company of at least A-VIII or otherwise be acceptable to Landlord.  A certificate of the insurer evidencing the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date. Not later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date set forth in any certificate evidencing the insurance required hereunder, Tenant 

{B2323618; 13}

- 18 -



 

shall deliver to Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, which may be in the form of a letter from Tenant’s insurance broker, that Tenant has taken all steps necessary to renew or replace such insurance as of the expiration thereof so that there is no lapse in coverage, and certificates of the insurer of policy renewal or replacement shall be delivered to Landlord during the term of this Lease not later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration date set forth in any previously issued certificate evidencing such  insurance.  Each such policy shall be non cancelable and not materially changed with respect to the interest of Landlord and such mortgagees of the Property without prior written notice as provided in the policy, and if the policy shall not require the insurance company to give notice directly to Landlord and/or such mortgagee, Tenant shall give such notice immediately upon having notice of any such cancellation or change.  Any insurance required of Tenant under this Lease may be furnished by Tenant under a blanket policy carried by it provided that such blanket policy shall reference the Premises, and shall guarantee a minimum limit available for the Premises equal to the insurance amounts required in this Lease.  

4.4.3Waiver of Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant shall each endeavor to secure an appropriate clause in, or an endorsement upon, each property damage insurance policy obtained by it and covering the Building, the Premises or the personal property, fixtures and equipment located therein or thereon, pursuant to which the respective insurance companies waive subrogation and permit the insured, prior to any loss, to agree with a third party to waive any claim it might have against said third party.  The waiver of subrogation or permission for waiver of any claim hereinbefore referred to shall extend to the agents of each party and its employees and, in the case of Tenant, shall also extend to all other persons and entities occupying or using the Premises by, through or under Tenant.  If and to the extent that such waiver or permission can be obtained only upon payment of an additional charge then the party benefiting from the waiver or permission shall pay such charge upon demand, or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party obtaining the insurance coverage in question shall be free of any further obligations under the provisions hereof relating to such waiver or permission from such insurance companies.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.4.3, and insofar as may be permitted by the terms of the property insurance policies carried by it, each party hereby releases the other with respect to any claim which it might otherwise have against the other party for any loss or damage to its property to the extent such damage is actually covered or would have been covered by policies of property insurance required by this Lease to be carried by the respective parties hereunder.  In addition, Tenant agrees to exhaust any and all claims against its insurer(s) prior to commencing an action against Landlord for any loss covered by insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder.

4.5Utilities.  Tenant shall during the term pay all charges for telephone and other utilities or services not supplied by Landlord pursuant to Subsections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2, whether designated as a charge, tax, assessment, fee or otherwise, all such charges to be paid as the same from time to time become due.

4.6Late Payment of Rent.  If any installment of Annual Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent is not paid on or before the date the same is due, it shall bear interest (as Additional Rent) from the date due until the date paid at the Default Rate (as defined in Section 8.4).  In addition, if any installment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent is unpaid for more than five (5) days after the date due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to the greater of One Hundred Dollars ($100) or ten percent (10%) of the delinquent amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to the first such late payment in any calendar year, Tenant shall not be required to pay such late charge unless Tenant fails to pay the amount due within five (5) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of such late payment (once Landlord shall have given Tenant such a notice, no such notice shall be required as a condition to Tenant’s obligation to pay the late charge with respect to any subsequent late payments in the same calendar year). The parties agree that the amount of such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of the cost and expense that would be incurred by Landlord in processing and administration of each delinquent payment by Tenant, but the payment of such late charges shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. Absent specific provision to the contrary, all Additional Rent shall be due and payable in full fourteen (14) days after demand by Landlord.

4.7Security Deposit.  Tenant shall not be required to post a security deposit.

ARTICLE 5

5.1Affirmative Covenants.  Landlord shall, during the term of this Lease provide the following:

5.1.1Heat and Air-Conditioning.  Landlord shall provide and maintain heat, ventilation and air‐conditioning (“HVAC”) equipment sufficient to maintain the Premises at comfortable temperatures for general office use, subject to all federal, state and municipal regulations, during Normal Building Operating Hours (as defined in the Rules and Regulations) and subject to compliance by Tenant with the following and the provisions of Subsection 6.2.4.  If Tenant shall require HVAC at times other than Normal Building Operating Hours, Landlord may furnish such service and Tenant shall pay therefor such charges as may from time to time be in effect to reimburse Landlord for the actual cost of providing HVAC outside of Normal Building Operating Hours.  If the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the Premises by the HVAC system is affected as a result of (i) the type or quantity of any lights, machines or equipment used by Tenant in the Premises, (ii) the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by more than one person per two hundred (200) square feet of rentable area, (iii) an electrical load for lighting or power in excess of the limits specified in Subsection 6.2.4, or (iv) any partitioning or other improvements installed by Tenant, then at Tenant’s sole cost, Landlord may install any equipment, or modify any existing equipment Landlord deems necessary to restore the temperature balance.  Tenant agrees to keep closed, when necessary, blinds or other window treatments which, because of the sun’s position, must be closed to provide for the efficient operation of the air conditioning system, and Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and to abide by the reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC system.  Landlord shall have no responsibility for providing any service from Supplemental HVAC Equipment or any Separate HVAC Equipment, as defined in Subsection 6.1.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to clean any portions of the Premises used for preparation, serving or consumption of food or beverages or other special purposes if same require greater or more difficult cleaning work than office areas, and Tenant agrees, at Tenant’s expense, to retain Landlord’s cleaning contractor to perform such extra cleaning, provided that the charges of such cleaning contractor shall be commercially reasonable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to engage contractors, with the advance written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to perform such cleaning tasks as Tenant determines including, without limitation, cleaning electrostatic discharge flooring and materials.

Landlord, its cleaning contractor and their respective employees shall have access to the Premises after 6:00 p.m. and before 8:00 a.m. and shall have the right to use, without charge therefor, all light, power and water in the Premises reasonably required to clean the Premises as required hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to handle or dispose of any (a) radioactive, volatile, highly flammable, explosive or toxic materials, (b) any Hazardous Materials as defined in Subsection 6.2.8, (c) construction debris, or (d) any other waste which, because of its nature, requires special handling or disposal; any item identified in clauses “(a)” through “(d)”, above, hereinafter referred to as “Excepted Waste”.  Tenant agrees that the handling and disposal of Excepted Waste, and the cleaning of any portion of the Premises contaminated by Excepted Waste, shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and Tenant shall contract directly for the handling and disposal of Excepted Waste and the cleaning of any portion of the Premises contaminated by Excepted Waste, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant is prohibited from placing, disposing or discarding Excepted Waste with the ordinary trash of the Building. Title to and liability for any Excepted Waste shall, at all times, remain with Tenant, and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee(s) harmless from any and all liability relating to or arising from the handling or disposal of Excepted Waste. 

If Tenant uses water for any purpose other than ordinary drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes, Landlord may assess a reasonable charge for the additional water so used or install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption for all purposes.  In the latter event, Tenant shall pay the cost of the meter and the cost of installation thereof and shall keep such meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair.  Tenant agrees to pay 

{B2323618; 13}

5.2Interruption.  Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability to Tenant for failure, interruption, inadequacy, defect or unavailability of any services, facilities, utilities, repairs or replacements or for any failure or inability to provide access or to perform any other obligation under this Lease caused by breakage, accident, fire, flood or other casualty, strikes or other labor trouble, order or regulation of or by any governmental authority, inclement weather, repairs, inability to obtain or shortages of utilities, supplies, labor or materials, war, civil commotion or other emergency, transportation difficulties or due to any act or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s servants, agents, employees or licensees or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant due to any such failure, interruption, inadequacy, defect or unavailability; and such failure or inability on the part of Landlord to furnish any of same for any of the reasons set forth in this paragraph shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, actual or constructive, nor entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent, nor render the Landlord liable in damages, nor, except to the extent set forth in Section 10.13 below, release Tenant from prompt fulfillment of any of its covenants under this Lease.

Landlord reserves the right to deny access to the Building and to interrupt the services of the HVAC, plumbing, electrical or other mechanical systems or facilities in the Building when necessary from time to time by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements which in the reasonable judgment of Landlord are desirable or necessary, until such repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements shall have been completed.

services or vendors.  Such services shall include, but shall not be limited to, utility providers, security services, moving services, equipment installers and the like.

Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall, at all times, retain the right to control and prevent such access by all persons whose presence, in the sole discretion of Landlord, may jeopardize the safety, protection, character, reputation and interests of the Building and its tenants or occupants.  Landlord shall in no case be liable for damages resulting from any error with regard to the admission or exclusion of any person from the Building. 

With Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Tenant shall be permitted to install an electronic access control system for the Premises. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the proper access codes or keys necessary for Landlord to obtain access to the Premises. Such access control system may be installed as part or Tenant’s Work (and may be funded by Landlord’s Contribution as provided in Section  3.2(d)), or if not included in Tenant’s Work, installed at any time during the term in accordance with Subsection 6.2.5 and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

Landlord further reserves the right to close the Parking Facility or portions thereof temporarily to the extent necessary for maintenance and repairs. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is not required to provide any security or security services for any of the Parking Facility.

6.1.12Landlord’s Expenses For Consents.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, promptly on demand for all reasonable, actual legal, engineering and other professional services expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with all requests by Tenant for consent or approval hereunder.

Landlord furthermore agrees to inform Landlords Representatives of the confidential nature of Tenant Confidential Information and to use all reasonable efforts to cause each Representative to treat Tenant Confidential Information confidentially and in accordance with the terms of this paragraph.

Tenant shall also be permitted, without the need for Landlord’s consent, but only upon not less than ten (10) days prior notice to Landlord, to enter into any sublease (a “Permitted Sublease”) with any Affiliate provided that such sublease shall expire upon any event pursuant to which the sublessee thereunder shall cease to be an Affiliate.  Any assignment to an Affiliate shall provide that it may, at Landlord’s election, be terminated and deemed void if during the term of this Lease such assignee or any successor to the interest of Tenant hereunder shall cease to be an Affiliate

In the event that Tenant shall intend to enter into any sublease or assignment (other than a Permitted Sublease or a Permitted Assignment), Tenant shall, not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the proposed commencement of such sublease or assignment, give Landlord notice of such intent, identifying the proposed subtenant or assignee, all of the terms and conditions of the proposed sublease or assignment and such information as Landlord may reasonably request regarding the financial condition and identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee.  Landlord may elect (a) to terminate the term of this Lease if Tenant intends to assign this Lease, or to sublease (including expansion options) more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises for a term (including extension options) of more than half of the remaining term hereof or (b) to exclude from the Premises, for the term of such proposed sublease, the portion thereof to be sublet (the 

{B2323618; 13}

- 29 -



 

“Proposed Sublet Space”) by giving notice to Tenant of such election not later than thirty (30) days after receiving notice of such intent from Tenant.  If Landlord shall give such notice within such thirty (30) day period, upon the later to occur of (A) the proposed date of commencement of such proposed sublease or assignment, or (B) the date which is thirty (30) days after Landlord’s notice, the term of this Lease shall terminate or the Premises shall be reduced to exclude the portion of the Premises intended for subletting, in which case Annual Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Percentage shall be correspondingly reduced; however, in such case of Proposed Sublet Space requires the installation of a new demising wall, the effective date shall be the latest of (A) or (B) or the date that Landlord shall install any demising wall necessary to separate the Proposed Sublet Space from the balance of the Premises.  If Landlord shall not give such notice, but Tenant shall not enter into such sublease or assignment on the terms and conditions set forth in such notice from Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days of the initially proposed sublease or assignment commencement date and shall still desire to enter into any sublease or assignment, the first sentence of this paragraph shall again become applicable.

If Landlord shall not elect to terminate the term of this Lease or to exclude Proposed Sublet Space from the Premises, then Landlord shall not unreasonably condition or withhold its consent to any sublease, provided that, in addition to any other grounds for withholding of consent, Landlord may withhold its consent if in Landlord’s good faith judgment:  (i) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have a financial condition reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (ii) the business and operations of the proposed assignee or subtenant are not of comparable quality to the business and operations being conducted by the majority of other tenants in the Park; (iii) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a business competitor of Landlord or is an affiliate of a business competitor of Landlord; (iv) the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant is, or the intended use of any part of the Premises, would be, in Landlord’s determination, inconsistent with the types of other tenants or uses in the Park or Landlord’s commitments to other tenants in the Building or any covenants, conditions or restrictions binding on Landlord or applicable to the Property; (v) at the time of the proposed assignment or subleasing Landlord is able to meet the space requirements of Tenant’s proposed assignee or subtenant by leasing available space in the Building to such person or entity and the proposed assignee or subtenant is an entity, or is affiliated with any entity, which shall have entered into negotiation with Landlord for space in the Building within the preceding twelve (12) months; or (vi) any such sublease shall result in the Premises being occupied by more than two (2) parties (including Tenant) at any one time.

If this Lease is assigned or if the Premises or any part thereof are sublet (or occupied by any party other than Tenant and its employees) Landlord may collect the rents from such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, and apply the net amount collected to the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent herein reserved, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Subsection 6.2.1, the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant or occupant, as the case may be, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the future performance by Tenant of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Lease.

Any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subject or subordinate, that other than the payment of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 or any obligation relating solely to those portions of the Premises 

{B2323618; 13}

- 30 -



 

which are not part of the subleased premises, the subtenant shall comply with and be bound by all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, that unless Landlord waives such prohibition, the subtenant may not enter into any sub-sublease, sublease assignment, license or any other agreement granting any right of occupancy of any portion of the subleased premises; and that Landlord shall be an express beneficiary of any such obligations, and that in the event of termination of this Lease or reentry or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that neither Landlord nor any mortgagee of the Property, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under this Lease if such mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall (a) be liable for any act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (b) be subject to any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, or (c) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease unless consented to by Landlord and such mortgagee or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent, (d) be bound by any covenant of Tenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Premises or any portion thereof, (e) be required to account for any security deposit of the subtenant other than any security deposit actually received by Landlord, (f) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to such subtenant or grant any credits unless specifically agreed to by Landlord and such mortgagee, (g) be responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the credit of subtenant or (h) be required to remove any person occupying the Premises or any part thereof; and such sublease shall provide that the subtenant thereunder shall, at the request of Landlord, execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of such agreement to attorn.  To enable Landlord to confirm that any sublease which Tenant shall desire to enter into shall comply with the provisions of this Section 6.2.1 and/or otherwise be acceptable to Landlord, Tenant shall submit the final form of sublease to Landlord not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to its execution.  The provisions of this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this Subsection 6.2.1.

Tenant shall not enter into, nor shall it permit any person having an interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of any part of the Premises to enter into, any sublease, license, concession, assignment or other agreement for use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises (i) which provides for rental or other compensation based on the income or profits derived by any person or on any other formula such that any portion of such sublease rental, or other consideration for a license, concession, assignment or other occupancy agreement, would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code or any similar or successor provision thereto, or (ii) under which fifteen percent (15%) or more of the total rent or other compensation received by Tenant is attributable to personal property and any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffectual as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of such part of the Premises.

No subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of the Tenant named in Section 1.1, and any immediate or remote successor in interest, and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation to obtain the Landlord’s written approval in the case of any other subletting or assignment.  The joint and several liability of Tenant named herein and any immediate and remote successor in interest (by assignment or otherwise) for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, and the timely performance of all non-monetary obligations on Tenant’s 

{B2323618; 13}

- 31 -



 

part to be performed or observed, shall not in any way be discharged, released or impaired by any (a) agreement which modifies any of the rights or obligations of the parties under this Lease, (b) stipulation which extends the time within which an obligation under this Lease is to be performed, (c) waiver of the performance of an obligation required under this Lease, or (d) failure to enforce any of the obligations set forth in this Lease.  No assignment, subletting or occupancy shall affect the Permitted Uses.  Any subletting, assignment or other transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease in contravention of this Section 6.2.1 shall be voidable at Landlord’s option.  Tenant shall not occupy any space in the Building (by assignment, sublease or otherwise) other than the Premises.

If the rent and other sums (including, without limitation, all monetary payments plus the reasonable value of any services performed or any other thing of value given by any assignee or subtenant in consideration of such assignment or sublease) received by Tenant (other than in connection with a Permitted Assignment or Permitted Sublease) shall exceed the Annual Fixed Rent plus Additional Rent called for hereunder over the term of the assignment or sublease (or in the case of a sublease of a portion of the Premises, shall exceed the Annual Fixed Rent plus Additional Rent attributable to the space so sublet), Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of such excess to Landlord, as Additional Rent, payable monthly in the months such excess amounts are received by Tenant, provided that in computing the amount of any such excess  the amortized portion of the following “Transfer Expenses” paid by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease may first be deducted from the monthly amount of any such excess: (i) the cost of alterations or improvements made by Tenant to the Premises in order to consummate an assignment or to the portion of Premises that is subleased in order to consummate a sublease, (ii) out-of-pocket brokerage commissions or fees, and (iii) out-of-pocket attorneys fees. Any such Transfer Expenses shall be amortized in equal monthly installments over the term of the assignment or sublease and shall be verified by Tenant by written documentation reasonably satisfactory to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of possession to the assignee or sublessee. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to abrogate the provisions of this Subsection 6.2.1 and Landlord’s acceptance of any sums pursuant to this paragraph shall not be deemed a granting of consent to any assignment of the Lease or sublease of all or any portion of the Premises.

6.2.2Nuisance.  Tenant shall not injure, deface or otherwise harm the Premises; nor commit any nuisance; nor permit in the Premises any vending machine (except such as is used for the sale of merchandise to employees of Tenant) or inflammable fluids or chemicals (except such as are customarily used in connection with the Permitted Uses, and in all events in compliance with Environmental Laws, as defined in Subsection 6.2.8); nor permit any cooking to such extent as requires special exhaust venting; nor permit the emission of any objectionable noise or odor; nor make, allow or suffer any waste; nor make any use of the Premises which is improper, offensive or contrary to any law or ordinance or which will invalidate or increase the premiums for any of Landlord’s insurance (Landlord acknowledging that the Permitted Use, in and of itself, will not invalidate or increase the premiums for any of Landlord’s insurance) or which is liable to render necessary any alteration or addition to the Building; nor conduct any auction, fire, “going out of business” or bankruptcy sales.

6.2.3Floor Load; Heavy Equipment.  Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the lesser of the floor load capacity which such floor was designed to carry or which is allowed by law.  Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight 

{B2323618; 13}

- 32 -



 

and position of all heavy business machines and equipment, including safes, which shall be placed so as to distribute the weight.  Business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or noise shall be placed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in settings sufficient to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance.  Tenant shall not move any safe, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, construction materials or fixtures into or out of the Premises without Landlord’s prior consent which consent may include a requirement to provide insurance naming Landlord, and the holder of any mortgage affecting the Property, as additional insureds, with such coverage and in such amount as Landlord reasonably requires.  If any such safe, machinery, heavy equipment, freight, or fixtures requires special handling, Tenant agrees to employ only persons holding a master rigger’s license to do said work, and that all work in connection therewith shall comply with applicable laws and regulations.  Any such moving shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant and Tenant hereby agrees to exonerate, indemnify and save Landlord harmless against and from any liability, loss, injury, claim or suit resulting directly or indirectly from such moving.  Tenant shall schedule such moving at such times as Landlord shall reasonably designate.

6.2.4Electricity.  Tenant shall not connect to the electrical distribution system serving the Premises (i) a total load exceeding the lesser of the capacity of such system or the maximum load permitted from time to time under applicable governmental regulations or (ii) any apparatus or device in the Premises (1) using current in excess of 110 volts, or (2) which would cause Tenant’s electrical demand load to exceed 1.0 watts per square foot of Premises Rentable Area for overhead lighting or 2.0 watts per square foot of Premises Rentable Area for convenience outlets.  The capacity of the electrical distribution system serving the Premises shall be the lesser of (a) the capacity of the branch of the system serving the Premises exclusively or (b) Tenant’s Percentage of the capacity of the system serving the entire Building.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted, at Tenant’s expense and subject to the requirements of this Lease including, without limitation, Subsection 6.2.5 below, to install and use special electrical service in the Premises as follows:

For Test Chamber (qty. 1)

208/230V

1 PH, 60Hz

22 A Max Load

 

For Humidifiers (qty. 2-3)

440-480V

3 PH, 60Hz

15 A Max Load

 

6.2.5Installation, Alterations or Additions.  Tenant shall not make any installations, alterations, additions or improvements (collectively and individually referred to in this paragraph as “work”) in, to or on the Premises nor permit the making of any holes in the walls or partitions (except for small holes required to hang signs, marker boards, shelving and customary office art), ceilings or floors without on each occasion obtaining the prior consent of Landlord, and then only pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord in advance in each instance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant need not obtain Landlord’s consent to perform Cosmetic Alterations, defined below, within the Premises so long as Tenant shall give 

{B2323618; 13}

- 33 -



 

Landlord at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice thereof (which shall reasonably describe the work), the same are not visible from the exterior or common areas of the Building (other than through windows) and any such work shall be scheduled at a time reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  “Cosmetic Alterations” shall mean changes to the finishes within the Premises (e.g. changes to the floor and wall coverings and paint) that do not affect the structure or systems of the Premises or Building, do not involve work above ceilings or within walls and do not require a building permit.  All work to be performed to the Premises by Tenant shall (i) be performed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors approved in advance by Landlord and in compliance with the provisions of Exhibit C and all applicable zoning, building, fire, health and other codes, regulations, ordinances and laws, (ii) be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and at such times and in such a manner as Landlord may from time to time designate, and (iii) be free of liens and encumbrances and  become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord without being deemed additional rent for tax purposes, Landlord and Tenant agreeing that Tenant shall be treated as the owner of the work for tax purposes until the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, subject to Landlord’s rights pursuant to Section 6.1.9 to require Tenant to remove the same at or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof and, to the extent Landlord shall make such election, title thereto shall remain vested in Tenant at all times.  Tenant shall pay promptly when due the entire cost of any work to the Premises so that the Premises, Building and Property shall at all times be free of liens, and, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a bond or other security acceptable to Landlord assuring that any such work will be completed in accordance with the plans and specifications theretofore approved by Landlord and assuring that the Premises will remain free of any mechanics’ lien or other encumbrances that may arise out of such work.  Prior to the commencement of any such work, and throughout and until completion thereof, Tenant shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, the insurance required by Exhibit D, all with coverage limits as stated therein. Whenever and as often as any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien shall have been filed against the Property based upon any act of Tenant or of anyone claiming through Tenant, Tenant shall within three (3) days of notice from Landlord to Tenant take such action by bonding, deposit or payment as will remove or satisfy the lien.  Tenant shall, upon request of Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord a bill of sale covering any work Tenant shall be required to surrender hereunder.

Tenant shall not, at any time, directly or indirectly, employ or permit the employment of any contractor, mechanic or laborer in the Premises, if such employment will interfere or cause any conflict with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building by Landlord, Tenant or others.  In the event of any such interference or conflict, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building immediately.

6.2.6Intentionally Omitted.

6.2.7Signs.  Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not paint or place any signs or place any curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, aerials, or the like, visible from outside the Premises.  Landlord shall install a sign or lettering on or adjacent to the entry doors to the Premises conforming to building standards adopted by Landlord and shall maintain a tenant directory in the lobby of the Building in which will be placed Tenant’s name and the location of the Premises in the Building. Tenant’s initial entry-door sign and lobby directory listing shall be 

{B2323618; 13}

- 34 -



 

at no cost to Tenant. Any changes thereto shall be made by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

So long as (i) this Lease is still in full force and effect and (ii) Tenant occupies more rentable area in the Building than any other tenant or occupant of the Building (the “Sign Conditions”), Tenant shall have the non exclusive right, subject to applicable legal requirements and the terms of this Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install and maintain a single building-mounted sign (hereinafter, “Tenant’s Sign”) on the exterior of the Building above the entrance to the Premises. The size, construction, location and design of Tenant’s Sign shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that Landlord shall allocate to Tenant a percentage of the signage space on the Building approximately equal to Tenant’s Percentage. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord may refuse to approve any sign that is not consistent with the architecture and general appearance of the Building and Property, will cause undue damage to the Building, or which is otherwise inconsistent with building signage in the Park. The content of Tenant’s Sign shall be limited to Tenant’s name or trade name or business logo. Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain all permits and approvals required for the installation of Tenant’s Sign prior to the installation thereof (but shall not be permitted to seek any zoning or similar relief for Tenant’s Sign without Landlord’s consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion), and shall keep all such permits and approvals in full force and effect throughout the term. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s Sign shall be at Tenant’s risk and Tenant shall maintain Tenant’s Sign in good condition. Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection 6.2.5, the installation, repair, maintenance and removal of Tenant’s Sign shall be subject to the provisions of Subsection 6.2.5 of this Lease and Landlord’s other reasonable requirements. Landlord reserves the right, upon reasonable notice to Tenant, to require Tenant to remove Tenant’s Sign, temporarily, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, if necessary in connection with any repairs, renovations, improvements or additions to the Building, provided that Landlord shall minimize, to the extent practical, the duration of any period during which Tenant’s Sign shall need to be removed.  Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease, and if at any time any of the Sign Conditions shall no longer prevail, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Sign (and all associated hardware) from the Building and shall restore the affected area to the condition existing prior to the installation of Tenant’s Sign, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant’s right to install and maintain Tenant’s Sign shall not be assignable to any subtenant or to any other party except to an assignee of this Lease pursuant to a Permitted Assignment.

6.2.8Oil and Hazardous Materials.  Tenant shall not introduce on or transfer to the Premises or Property, any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined); nor dump, flush or otherwise dispose of any Hazardous Materials into the drainage, sewage or waste disposal systems serving the Premises or Property; nor generate, store, use, release, spill or dispose of any Hazardous Materials in or on the Premises or the Property, or to transfer any Hazardous Materials from the Premises to any other location; and Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed in or on the Premises or Property any act which would require any reporting or filing of any notice with any governmental agency pursuant to any statutes, laws, codes, ordinances, rules or regulations, present or future, applicable to the Property or to Hazardous Materials. This paragraph shall not prohibit Tenant from using minimal quantities of products or substances which may constitute or contain Hazardous Materials, but which are customarily present in or about premises devoted to the Permitted Use, provided (i) that such use, including storage and 

{B2323618; 13}

- 35 -



 

disposal thereof, by Tenant is in strict compliance with all Environmental Laws and the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations for the safe use, storage and disposal of such products, and (ii) Tenant follows the highest recognized standard of care with respect to the use, storage and disposal of such products.

Tenant agrees that if it shall generate, store, release, spill, dispose of or transfer to the Premises or Property any Hazardous Materials, it shall forthwith remove the same, at its sole cost and expense, in the manner provided by all applicable Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), regardless of when such Hazardous Materials shall be discovered.  Furthermore, Tenant shall pay any fines, penalties or other assessments imposed by any governmental agency with respect to any such Hazardous Materials and shall forthwith repair and restore any portion of the Premises or Property which it shall disturb in so removing any such Hazardous Materials to the condition which existed prior to Tenant’s disturbance thereof.

Tenant agrees to deliver promptly to Landlord any notices, orders or similar documents received from any governmental agency or official concerning any violation of any Environmental Laws or with respect to any Hazardous Materials affecting the Premises or Property.  In addition, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of receipt, accurately complete any questionnaires from Landlord or other informational requests relating to Tenant’s use of the Premises and, in particular, to Tenant’s use, generation, storage and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials at, to, or from the Premises.

Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel satisfactory to Landlord), protect, and hold Landlord free and harmless from and against any and all claims, or threatened claims, including without limitation, claims for death of or injury to any person or damage to any property, actions, administrative proceedings, whether formal or informal, judgments, damages, punitive damages, liabilities, penalties, fines, costs, taxes, assessments, forfeitures, losses, expenses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, consultant fees, and expert fees that arise from or are caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by (i) Tenant’s use, analysis, storage, transportation, disposal, release, threatened release, discharge or generation of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about or from the Premises, or (ii) Tenant’s failure to comply with any Environmental Laws.  Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs (including, without limitation, capital, operating and maintenance costs) incurred in connection with any investigation or monitoring of site conditions, repair, cleanup, containment, remedial, removal or restoration work, or detoxification or decontamination of the Premises, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith.  For purposes of this Section 6.2.8, any acts or omissions of Tenant, or its subtenants or assignees or its or their employees, agents, or contractors (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be attributable to Tenant.

The term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean and include any oils, petroleum products, asbestos, radioactive, biological, medical or infectious wastes or materials, and any other toxic or hazardous wastes, materials and substances which are defined, determined or identified as such in any Environmental Laws, or in any judicial or administrative interpretation of Environmental Laws.

The term “Environmental Laws” shall mean any and all federal, state and municipal statutes, laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, judgments, orders, decrees, codes, plans, 

{B2323618; 13}

- 36 -



 

injunctions, permits, concessions, grants, franchises, licenses, agreements or other governmental restrictions relating to the environment or to emissions, discharges or releases of pollutants, contaminants, petroleum or petroleum products, medical, biological, infectious, toxic or hazardous substances or wastes into the environment including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, ground water or land, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of pollutants, contaminants, petroleum or petroleum products, medical, biological, infectious, toxic or hazardous substances or wastes or the cleanup or other remediation thereof.

ARTICLE 7

Casualty or Taking

7.1Termination.  In the event that the Premises, the Building or the Property, or any material part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or casualty, shall be taken by any public authority or for any public use or shall be condemned by the action of any public authority, then the term of this Lease may be terminated at the election of Landlord.  Such election, which may be made notwithstanding the fact that Landlord’s entire interest may have been divested, shall be made by the giving of notice by Landlord to Tenant not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the taking or casualty.

In the event that any material portion of the Premises is made unusable for the conduct of Tenant’s business due to a taking or condemnation by any public authority (other than temporarily for a period of less than one hundred eighty (180) days), then the term of this Lease may be terminated at the election of Tenant by the giving of notice by Tenant to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of the taking or condemnation. In the event any material part of the Premises shall be destroyed or damaged or shall be made inaccessible or untenantable by fire or other casualty (and Landlord has not elected to terminate the term of this Lease pursuant to the preceding paragraph), then within one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of such casualty damage, Landlord shall give Tenant a notice (the “Restoration Notice”) advising Tenant whether or not Landlord intends to restore the Premises and access thereto to a condition substantially the same as existed immediately prior to such damage (subject to any modification required by then current laws, rules, regulations and ordinances and excluding any improvements to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant) and if Landlord intends to so restore, of the time required to substantially complete such work, as reasonably estimated by an architect or general contractor selected by Landlord. If the Restoration Notice indicates either that (a) Landlord shall not restore the Premises as provided above, or (b) the estimated time required for Landlord to substantially complete such restoration work shall exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the occurrence of such casualty damage or the number of days which as of the date of the casualty constitutes more than half of the then remainder of the term of this Lease, whichever period is shorter, Tenant may elect to terminate the term of this Lease by giving notice to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days after the date on which Landlord gives Tenant the Restoration Notice. Tenant may also elect to terminate the term of this Lease by notice to Landlord if Landlord shall not have caused the restoration work to have been substantially completed on or before the date thirty (30) days after the date identified therefor in the Restoration Notice, subject to extension for force majeure events not exceeding ninety (90) days, whereupon the term of this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, unless Landlord substantially completes such restoration work with such thirty-day 

{B2323618; 13}

- 37 -



 

period, in which case such notice of termination shall be a nullity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to terminate the term of this Lease due to a fire or other casualty if the cause thereof was due to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant or any agent or employee of Tenant or its subtenant(s).

7.2Restoration.  If neither party so elects to terminate, this Lease shall continue in force and (so long as the damage is not caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees) a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for Taxes and Operating Costs, according to the nature and extent of the damages sustained by the Premises, shall be suspended or abated commencing on the date of the casualty and continuing until the Premises (excluding any improvements to the Premises made at Tenant’s expense), or what may remain thereof, shall be put by Landlord in proper condition for use, which Landlord covenants to do with reasonable diligence to the extent permitted by the net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded for such destruction, taking, or condemnation and subject to zoning and building laws or ordinances then in existence.  “Net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded” refers to the gross amount of such insurance or damages actually made available to Landlord (and not retained by any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee) less the reasonable expenses of Landlord incurred in connection with the collection of the same, including without limitation, fees and expenses for legal and appraisal services. 

7.3Award.  Irrespective of the form in which recovery may be had by law, all rights to seek reimbursement for damages or compensation arising from fire or other casualty or any taking by eminent domain or condemnation shall belong to Landlord in all cases; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to retain any insurance proceeds which are recovered from Tenant’s insurer and are related to Tenant’s personal property and/or business interruption coverages; provided further that the foregoing shall not excuse Tenant from any obligation it may have under this Lease for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent.  Tenant hereby grants to Landlord all of Tenant’s rights to such claims for damages and compensation and covenants to deliver such further assignments thereof as Landlord may from time to time request.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in any condemnation proceedings a claim for relocation expenses, provided that such action shall not affect the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the taking authority.

ARTICLE 8

Defaults

8.1Default of Tenant.  (a) (I) If Tenant shall default in its obligations to pay the Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or any other charges or amounts under this Lease when due or shall default in complying with its obligations under Sections 4.4 or 6.1.11 of this Lease and if any such default shall continue for seven (7) Business Days after notice from Landlord designating such default, or (II) if as promptly as possible but in any event within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying any default or defaults other than those set forth in clause (I) Tenant has not cured the default or defaults so specified, or if such default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days using best efforts, if Tenant does not commence the curing of such default within such thirty-day period and thereafter diligently and

continuously prosecute such cure to completion within such additional time as may be necessary, but in no event to exceed forty-five (45) days from the date of Landlord’s notice to Tenant specifying the default; or (b) if any assignment shall be made by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; or (c) if Tenant’s leasehold interest shall be taken on execution; or (d) if a lien or other involuntary encumbrance shall be filed against Tenant’s leasehold interest or Tenant’s other property which includes said leasehold interest, and shall not be discharged within ten (10) days after Tenant has notice thereof; or (e) if a petition shall be filed by Tenant for liquidation, or for reorganization or an arrangement under any provision of any bankruptcy law or code as then in force and effect; or (f) if an involuntary petition under any of the provisions of any bankruptcy law or code shall be filed against Tenant and such involuntary petition shall not be dismissed within thirty (30) days thereafter; or (g) if a custodian or similar agent shall be authorized or appointed to take charge of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; or (h) if Tenant dissolves or shall be dissolved or shall liquidate or shall adopt any plan or commence any proceeding, the result of which is intended to include dissolution or liquidation; or (i) if any order shall be entered in any proceeding by or against Tenant decreeing or permitting the dissolution of Tenant or the winding up of its affairs; or (j) if Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent when due, Tenant shall cure such default within the grace period provided in clause (a) (I) above (or with Landlord’s approval after the expiration of such grace period) and Tenant shall, within the next year following the date such initial defaulted payment was first due, fail more than once to pay any installment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent when due, then, and in any of such cases indicated in clauses (a) through (j) hereof (collectively and individually, a “Default of Tenant”), Landlord may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any preceding breach of covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter (x) give notice to Tenant terminating this Lease and/or the term hereof, which notice shall specify the date of such termination, whereupon on the date so specified, the term of this Lease and all of Tenant’s rights and privileges under this Lease shall expire and terminate or (y) without terminating this Lease terminate Tenant's right of possession and/or occupancy and reenter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, without notice and expel Tenant and any party claiming under Tenant and remove any of their effects, without being liable on account thereof, whether in trespass or breach or covenant or otherwise, (and no such reentry or taking possession shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless Landlord shall affirm such election by notice expressly to such effect), but in either case Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

8.2Remedies.  In the event of any termination of this Lease or the term hereof pursuant to Section 8.1, Tenant shall pay the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder up to the time of such termination.  Thereafter, whether or not the Premises shall have been re let, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for the remainder of the term of this Lease had such termination not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises, after deducting all expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses, advertising costs, administration expenses, alteration costs, the value of any tenant inducements (including but without limitation free rent, moving costs, and contributions toward leasehold improvements) and any other expenses incurred in preparation for such reletting.  Tenant shall pay such damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other charges would have been payable hereunder if the term of this Lease had not been so terminated.

In the event of any reentry or retaking of possession of the Premises and/or termination of Tenant's right of possession and/or occupancy of the Premises, as applicable, without termination of this Lease, pursuant to Section 8.1, Tenant shall pay the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder up to the time of such reentry or retaking of possession and/or termination.  Thereafter, whether or not the Premises shall have been re‐let, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for the remainder of the term of this Lease notwithstanding any such reentry, retaking of possession or termination, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises, after deducting all expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses, advertising costs, administration expenses, alteration costs, the value of any tenant inducements (including but without limitation free rent, moving costs, and contributions toward leasehold improvements) and any other expenses incurred in preparation for such reletting.  Tenant shall pay such damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other charges are payable hereunder.

At any time after any such termination, reentry or retaking of possession, in lieu of recovering damages pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraphs with respect to any period after the date of demand therefor, at Landlord’s election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord immediately and in full the greater of (i) the amount, if any, by which (A) the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder from the date of such demand to the end of what would be the then unexpired term of this Lease had such termination not occurred (or in the case of reentry or retaking of possession of the Premises by Landlord or a termination of Tenant’s right of possession and/or occupancy of the Premises, to the end of the term of this Lease), shall exceed (B) the then fair rental value of the Premises for the same period, reduced to amortize over such period all costs or expenses which Landlord would incur to obtain such fair market rent, or (ii) an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges that would have been payable for the remainder of the term of this Lease had such termination not occurred (or in the case of reentry or retaking of possession of the Premises by Landlord or a termination of Tenant’s right of possession and/or occupancy of the Premises, to the end of the term of this Lease) or (y) the aggregate of the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges accrued in the twelve (12) months ended next prior to such termination, reentry or retaking of possession of the Premises by Landlord or termination of Tenant's right of possession and/or occupancy (without reduction for any free rent or other concession or abatement) except that in the event the term of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession and/or occupancy of the Premises is so terminated or Landlord shall reenter and/or retake possession of the Premises prior to the expiration of the first full year of the term of this Lease, the damages which Landlord may elect to recover pursuant to clause (ii) (y) of this paragraph shall be calculated as if any such termination, reentry or retaking of possession  had occurred on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and there had been no so-called free rent or other rental concession or any rental abatement.

Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

{B2323618; 13}

In case of any Default of Tenant, re-entry, expiration and repossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (i) relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option be equal to or less than or exceed the period the balance of the term of this Lease (or the balance of the term of this Lease if it shall not have been terminated) and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers advisable and necessary to relet the same and (ii) may make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid.  Landlord shall in no event be required to relet the Premises or otherwise mitigate damages or be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent under such reletting.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.

8.3Remedies Cumulative.  Except as expressly provided otherwise in Section 8.2, any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease, and at law and equity (including without limitation actions at law for direct, indirect, special and consequential (foreseeable and unforeseeable) damages), for Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Lease shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as permitted by law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant ever be liable to Landlord, and Landlord hereby waives any claim against Tenant, for any punitive damages or for any loss of business or any other indirect, special or consequential damages (whether foreseeable or unforeseeable) suffered by Landlord from whatever cause, except for claims of third parties for which Tenant is to indemnify Landlord pursuant to Subsection 6.1.5, arising from violation of any Environmental Laws as provided in Subsection 6.2.8 or arising under Section 8.5.

 

8.4Landlord’s Right to Cure Defaults.  At any time with or without notice, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be required, to pay such sums or do any act which requires the expenditure of monies which may be necessary or appropriate by reason of the failure or neglect of Tenant to comply with any of its obligations under this Lease (provided Landlord shall not exercise such right until there is a Default of Tenant unless earlier action by Landlord is necessary to prevent injury or damage to persons or property, as determined by Landlord in good faith), and in the event of the exercise of such right by Landlord, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand, as Additional Rent, all such sums including reasonable attorneys fees, together with interest thereon at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of six hundred basis points above the Prime Rate or the maximum rate allowed by law.  “Prime Rate” shall mean the annual floating rate of interest, determined daily and expressed as a percentage from time to time announced by Bank of America as its “prime” or “base” rate, so-called, or if at any time Bank of America ceases to announce such a rate, as announced by the largest national or state-chartered banking institution then having an office in the City of Boston and announcing such a rate.  If at any time neither Bank of America nor the largest national or 

{B2323618; 13}

- 41 -



 

state-chartered banking institution having an office in the City of Boston is announcing such a floating rate, “Prime Rate” shall mean a rate of interest, determined daily, which is two hundred basis points above the yield of 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills.

8.5Holding Over.  Any failure by Tenant to comply timely with its obligations under Subsection 6.1.9, as to all or any portion of the Premises, shall constitute a holding over of the entire Premises and be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rental rate equal to one and one-half (1.5) times the sum of Annual Fixed Rent plus Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes in effect immediately prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term (prorated on a daily basis).  Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, direct and/or consequential (foreseeable and unforeseeable), sustained by reason of any such holding over.  Otherwise, all of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Tenant applicable during the term of this Lease shall apply and be performed by Tenant during such period of holding over as if such period were part of the term of this Lease.

8.6Effect of Waivers of Default.  Any consent or permission by Landlord to any act or omission by Tenant shall not be deemed to be consent or permission by Landlord to any other similar or dissimilar act or omission and any such consent or permission in one instance shall not be deemed to be consent or permission in any other instance.

8.7No Waiver, etc.  The failure of Landlord or Tenant to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation.  The receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to have been a waiver of such breach by Landlord, or by Tenant, unless such waiver be in writing signed by the party to be charged.  No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord or Tenant to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty.

8.8No Accord and Satisfaction.  No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent or charge due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other charge be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.

ARTICLE 9

Rights of Holders

9.1Rights of Mortgagees or Ground Lessor.  This Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or master lease, and all renewals, extensions, modifications and replacements thereof, and to all mortgages, which may now or hereafter affect the Building or the Property and/or any such lease, whether or not such mortgages shall also cover other lands and/or buildings and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, 

{B2323618; 13}

- 42 -



 

replacements and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and all consolidations of such mortgages.  This Section shall be self‐operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.  In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination.  Any lease to which this Lease is subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Lease” and the lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest, at the time referred to, is herein called “Superior Lessor”; and any mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate, is herein called “Superior Mortgage” and the holder of a Superior Mortgage is herein called “Superior Mortgagee”.

If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee or the nominee or designee of any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise, then at the request of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights (herein called “Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor Landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.  Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease, except that the Successor Landlord (unless formerly the landlord under this Lease) shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or omission, neglect or default on the part of Landlord under this Lease (but nothing herein shall relieve a Successor Landlord from the obligation to remedy defaults in the performance of Landlord’s maintenance, repair or service obligations which continue after such Successor Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this Lease), (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to the credit of Tenant, (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff which theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord, (d) bound by any modification of this Lease subsequent to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage, or by any previous prepayment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent for more than one (1) month, which was not approved in writing by the Successor Landlord, (e) liable to the Tenant beyond the Successor Landlord’s interest in the Property, (f) responsible for the performance of any work to be done by Landlord under this Lease to render the Premises ready for occupancy by the Tenant, or (g) required to remove any person occupying the Premises or any part thereof, except if such person claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord.  Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenant’s agreement to attorn, as aforesaid.

9.2Modifications.  If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall require any modification(s) of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord such instruments effecting such modification(s) as Landlord shall require, provided that such modification(s) do not adversely affect to more than a de minimus extent any of Tenant’s rights under this Lease.  In addition, and notwithstanding Section 9.1 to the contrary, any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee may, at its option, subordinate the Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage of which it is the lessor or holder to this Lease by giving Tenant ten (10) days prior written notice of such election, whereupon this Lease shall, irrespective of dates of execution, delivery and recording, be superior to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage and no other documentation shall be necessary to effect such change.

{B2323618; 13}

- 43 -



 

9.3Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment.  Landlord represents that the Property is not subject to any Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage as of the Date of this Lease. Landlord shall request a so-called non-disturbance agreement (“SNDA”) from any future Superior Mortgagee in the form customarily used by such Superior Mortgagee, but Landlord shall have no obligation to incur any expense or liability in connection with such request (or to become involved in any request by Tenant for changes to the form of SNDA) and, if such Superior Mortgagee shall fail or refuse to provide or to execute such SNDA (or to consider or agree to any changes to the form of SNDA requested by Tenant), such failure or refusal shall not constitute a default or breach of this Lease by Landlord. If any future Superior Mortgagee shall agree to provide an SNDA, then at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall first execute and deliver such SNDA to Landlord.

ARTICLE 10

Miscellaneous Provisions

10.1Notices.  Except as may be expressly provided herein otherwise, all notices, requests, demands, consents, approval or other communications to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be in writing, shall be delivered by hand or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by a nationally recognized courier service that provides a receipt for delivery such as Federal Express, United Parcel Service or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail and shall be addressed as follows:  If intended for Landlord, to the Original Address of Landlord set forth in Section 1.1 of this Lease with a copy to The RMR Group LLC, Two Newton Place, 255 Washington Street, Suite 300, Newton, MA 02458, Attn: Jennifer B. Clark (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Landlord by notice to Tenant); and if intended for Tenant, addressed to Tenant at the Original Address of Tenant set forth in Section 1.1 of this Lease (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Tenant by notice to Landlord).  Notices shall be effective on the date delivered to (or the first date such delivery is attempted and refused by) the party to which such notice is required or permitted to be given or made under this Lease.  Notices from Landlord may be given by Landlord’s Agent, if any, or Landlord’s attorney; and any bills or invoices for Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent may be given by mail(which need not be registered or certified) and, if so given, shall be deemed given on the third Business Day following the date of posting.

10.2Quiet Enjoyment; Landlord’s Right to Make Alterations, Etc.  Landlord agrees that upon Tenant’s paying the rent and performing and observing the agreements, conditions and other provisions on its part to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the term hereof without any manner of hindrance or molestation from Landlord or anyone claiming under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time, without the same constituting breach of Landlord’s covenant of quiet enjoyment or an actual or constructive eviction, and without Landlord incurring any liability to Tenant or otherwise affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to make such changes, alterations, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the interior and exterior or common areas of the Building (including the Premises) and the fixtures and equipment thereof, and in or to the Property, or properties adjacent thereto, as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, and to change (provided that there be no unreasonable obstruction of the right of access to the Premises 

{B2323618; 13}

- 44 -



 

by Tenant and that Landlord use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize, to the extent practical, any interference with the conduct of business at the Premises) the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, corridors or other common areas of the Building and Property.

Without incurring any liability to Tenant, Landlord may permit access to the Premises and open the same, whether or not Tenant shall be present, upon any demand of any receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, sheriff, marshal or court officer Landlord reasonably believes is entitled to such access for the purpose of taking possession of, or removing, Tenant’s property or for any other lawful purpose (but this provision and any action by Landlord hereunder shall not be deemed a recognition by Landlord that the person or official making such demand has any right or interest in or to this Lease, or in or to the Premises), or upon demand of any representative of the fire, police, building, sanitation or other department of the city, state or federal governments.

10.3Lease not to be Recorded; Confidentiality of Lease Terms.  Tenant agrees that it will not record this Lease. Both parties shall, upon the request of either (and at the expense of the requesting party), execute and deliver a notice or short form of this Lease in such form, if any, as may be acceptable for recording with the land records of the governmental entity responsible for keeping such records for Clarksburg.  In no event shall such document set forth the rent or other charges payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the provisions contained in this Lease and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this Lease. If Tenant so elects to record a notice or short form of this Lease as aforesaid, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its reasonable out-of-pocket third-party costs plus an administrative fee of $500.00.

Tenant acknowledges that the terms under which the Landlord has leased the Premises to Tenant (including, without limitation, the rental rate(s), term and other financial and business terms), constitute confidential information of Landlord (“Confidential Information”).  Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to keep the Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose the same to third parties; provided, however, that such Confidential Information may be disclosed by Tenant to those of its officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, lenders and financial advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) who need to know such information in connection with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises and for financial reporting and credit related activities, or as may be required by law.  Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any press release or other similar public statement regarding this Lease without the prior approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Tenant furthermore agrees to inform its Representatives of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and to use all reasonable efforts to cause each Representative to treat such Confidential Information confidentially and in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Tenant has securities registered under the Exchange Act, Tenant may, if required by the rules and regulations of the SEC or the exchange on which Tenant’s securities are listed or by applicable law, file this Lease as an exhibit to, and disclose information regarding the terms of this Lease in, filings with the SEC or such exchange.

 

10.4Assignment of Rents and Transfer of Title; Limitation of Landlord’s Liability.  Tenant agrees that the assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, whether absolute or conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is 

{B2323618; 13}

- 45 -



 

made to the holder of a mortgage on property which includes the Premises, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such holder shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect and that, except as aforesaid, such holder shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.1) only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises.

The term “Landlord”, so far as covenants or obligations to be performed by Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of Landlord’s interest in the Property, and in the event of any transfer or transfers of such title to said property, Landlord (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be concurrently freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, without any further instrument or agreement, of all liability with respect to the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, it being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord, shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their respective period of ownership of such interest in the Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the acquisition of Landlord’s interest in the Property by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases Landlord’s entire interest in the Property back to Landlord or the seller thereof be treated as an assumption by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord’s obligations hereunder.  Tenant shall look solely to such seller‐lessee, and its successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder.  The seller-lessee, and its successors in title, shall be the Landlord hereunder unless and until such purchaser expressly assumes in writing the Landlord’s obligations hereunder.

Tenant shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Property, and any interest in insurance, financing or sale proceeds from the Property, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease. Tenant furthermore agrees that no trustee, officer, director, general or limited partner, member, shareholder, beneficiary, employee or agent of Landlord (including any person or entity from time to time engaged to supervise and/or manage the operation of Landlord) shall be held to any liability, jointly or severally, for any debt, claim, demand, judgment, decree, liability or obligation of any kind (in tort, contract or otherwise) of, against or with respect to Landlord or arising out of any action taken or omitted for or on behalf of Landlord.

10.5Landlord’s Default.  Landlord shall not be deemed to be in breach of, or in default in the performance of, any of its obligations under this Lease unless it shall fail to perform such obligation(s) and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days, or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such breach or default, after written notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of Landlord’s alleged breach or default.  Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease for any breach or default by Landlord hereunder and no right, for any such breach or default, to offset or counterclaim against any rent due hereunder.  In no event shall Landlord ever be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord, for any punitive damages or for any loss of business or any other 

{B2323618; 13}

- 46 -



 

indirect, special or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever cause.  Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure any such breach or default within thirty (30) days of such notice to Landlord (or if such breach or default cannot be cured within said time, then within such additional time as may be necessary if within said thirty days Landlord has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such breach or default), then the holder(s) of any mortgage(s) or the lessor under any ground lease entitled to notice pursuant to Section 10.6 shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such breach or default if such breach or default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary, if within such thirty (30) days any such holder or lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such breach or default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure).

Where provision is made in this Lease for Landlord’s consent and Tenant shall request such consent and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give or shall delay in giving such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages and Tenant hereby waives any claim based on such failure, refusal or delay; provided however in any situation where Landlord is expressly required not to withhold its consent unreasonably Tenant shall (at its sole remedy) be entitled to bring an action for specific performance or injunction.

10.6Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Lessor.  After Tenant receives notice from Landlord that any party holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that any party is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which includes the Premises as part of the demised premises, and until Tenant receives notice from Landlord or any such party that such mortgageor ground lease no longer encumbers the Premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such holder or ground lessor identified in the notice from Landlord, and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

10.7Brokerage.  Tenant and Landlord warrant and represent that they have dealt with no broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease, other than Jones Lang LaSalle Brokerage, Inc. (“JLL”), and in the event of any brokerage claims or liens, other than by JLL, against Landlord, Tenant or the Property predicated upon or arising out of prior dealings with Tenant or Landlord, the party with whom the broker claims to have dealt agrees to defend the same and indemnify and hold the other party harmless against any such claim, and to discharge any such lien.  

10.8Waiver of Jury Trial.  LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE.

10.9Applicable Law and Construction.  This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland and if any provisions of this Lease shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby.  Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not made and is not making, and Tenant, in executing and delivering this Lease, is not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements, except to the extent that the same are expressly set forth 

{B2323618; 13}

- 47 -



 

in this Lease or in any other written agreement which may be made between the parties concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease and which shall expressly refer to this Lease.  All understandings and agreements heretofore made between the parties are merged in this Lease and any other such written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith, which alone fully and completely express the agreement of the parties and which are entered into after full investigation, neither party relying upon any statement or representation not embodied in this Lease or any other such written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith.  This Lease may be amended, and the provisions hereof may be waived or modified, only by instruments in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant.  The titles of the several Articles and Sections contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be considered in construing this Lease.  The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises, and Tenant shall have no right to the Premises hereunder until the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant.  Except as herein otherwise provided, the terms hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant and, if Tenant shall be an individual, upon and to his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.  Each term and each provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both an independent covenant and a condition and time is of the essence with respect to the exercise of any of Tenant’s rights, and the performance of any and all of Tenant’s obligations, under this Lease.  The reference contained to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to assignment by Tenant.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Lease, any obligations of Tenant (including, without limitation, rental and other monetary obligations, repair and maintenance obligations and obligations to indemnify Landlord), shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any expense incurred by Landlord in curing Tenant’s failure to satisfy any such obligation (notwithstanding the fact that such cure might be effected by Landlord following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease).

10.10Evidence of Authority.
