	2.01
	Premises.


Landlord hereby leases and lets to Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes and hires from Landlord, upon and subject to the terms, conditions, covenants and provisions hereof, the Premises subject to 









the Permitted Exceptions.  Landlord reserves the right to install within or without the Premises pipes, ducts, vents, flues, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures which service other parts of the Building; provided that such work shall be done in such a manner that it does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises.  Subject to the rights of the existing tenant, and subject to the Landlord’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.01 and Exhibit C, the Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the Premises prior to the Term Commencement Date to allow Tenant an opportunity to ready the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy provided, however, Tenant shall not commence business operations at the Premises until the Term Commencement Date.

The Lease Term shall end on the Lease Termination Date.




ARTICLE 4
Rent


4.01    Basic Rent.
Tenant shall pay Landlord for the Premises, without offset or deduction and without previous demand therefor, the Basic Rent as annual rent for each Lease Year.  Basic Rent shall be paid in accordance with Section 4.03 below.  Basic Rent for partial months at the beginning or end of the Lease Term shall be pro‐rated.











4.02    Computation of Basic Rent.
The Basic Rent for each Lease Year shall be as stated in Article 1.01 hereof.  


Basic Rent shall be exclusive of (and in addition to) amounts due hereunder for Taxes and Operating Expenses.


4.03    Payment with Tenant’s Stock
Tenant represents and warrants that:


(a)    Tenant is a duly organized and existing Delaware corporation in good standing in Delaware and Massachusetts;
(b)    Tenant’s authorized capital consists of 350,000,000 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of which 302,368,821 shares are issued and outstanding as of October 28, 2011;
(c)    Except for the restrictions on the Common Stock imposed by Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Common Stock to be issued hereunder will be subject to no restrictions on transfer;
(d)    Tenant’s Board of Directors has approved the issuance of Common Stock hereunder;
(e)    No consent or approval from any other Person is required for the valid and lawful issuance of Common Stock hereunder;
(f)    The Common Stock is traded over the counter; and
(g)    When issued, the Common Stock to be issued hereunder will be validly issued, deemed fully paid and non-assessable.


On the Term Commencement Date and on the first day of each of the next two (2) calendar months thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord $9,744.92 as a monthly installment of Basic Rent and for the next four (4) calendar months thereafter Tenant shall pay Landlord $13,855.77 as a monthly installment of Basic Rent (“Initial Cash Basic Rent Payments”).  Such amount shall be pro-rated for any partial month.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Term Commencement Date is the first day of a calendar month, then Tenant shall makes a total of six (6) such payments of Basic Rent.


Tenant shall make three (3) payments in Common Stock no later than ten (10) days after the execution and delivery hereof in payment of the Rent specified:


(1)    Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one or more certificates of Common Stock having an aggregate value of $823,124.50, as payment in full (subject to the following provisions) for the aggregate Basic Rent for the initial Lease Term; 


(2)    Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one or more certificates of Common Stock having an aggregate value of Four Hundred Seventy Two Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($472,000.00), for estimated Taxes and Operating Expenses for the initial Lease Term based on 2010 tax rates and prior operating history, to be credited against Taxes and Operating Expenses for the initial Lease Term, subject to the following provisions and the provisions of Article 6 with respect to any shortfall based on actual amounts owed, which shall be paid in cash: and


(3)    Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one or more certificates of Common Stock having a value of $83,134.62, as the Security Deposit.











The Common Stock shall be valued as of the trading day immediately prior to issuance, at a price equal to the “Last Price” as reflected on the OTCBB as of such trading day.


Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Common Stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred for six (6) months after the date of issuance (the “Restricted Period”), after which time Landlord may sell the Common Stock on the open market.  Tenant hereby guarantees that, within three (3) months after Landlord shall provide the broker paperwork required hereby,  Landlord shall receive an amount in cash equal to the total amounts set forth in subsections (1), (2) and (3) above for the Common Stock sold after the end of the Restricted Period, if Landlord provides all required broker paperwork to sell the Common Stock to the market maker or approved broker within sixty (60) days after the end of the Restricted Period and notifies Tenant of its intent and willingness to sell all such shares of Common Stock at such time.


Tenant agrees that at the time Tenant desires to sell Common Stock (a) there will be adequate public information concerning Tenant to permit the sale of Common Stock under Rule 144 and (b) Tenant will promptly take all action, including, without limitation, causing its counsel to issue an appropriate opinion letter, to remove the legend from the Restricted Common Stock and to permit Landlord to sell the same.


In the event of a shortfall from the guaranteed amounts, in each case Tenant shall pay such shortfall amount in additional Restricted Common Stock promptly on demand therefor.   Sales of such additional shares of Common Stock shall be guaranteed in the same manner as the original issuance of Common Stock, except that such guaranty shall be paid in cash on demand.  


In the event Landlord sells the Common Stock and receives a net amount equal to or greater than the aggregate of the dollar amounts set forth in (1), (2) and (3) above:


(a)    Landlord shall pay to Tenant the sum of $55,423.08, thereby reducing the Security Deposit to a cash Security Deposit in the amount of $27,711.54 (plus any amount added to the Security Deposit pursuant to Exhibit C);


(b)    Provided Tenant has timely made the cash payments of Basic Rent required above, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the sum of $74,912.92 to refund cash payments of Basic Rent in such amount; and 


(c)    If after the payment of the sums specified in (a) and (b) above, the net remaining proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock (including the $27,711.54 cash Security Deposit) exceed $1,322,836.04, such excess shall be credited against Tenant’s future obligations to pay Taxes and Operating Expenses.


Tenant may prepay any amount due in cash at any time.


If Landlord chooses to retain ownership of the shares of Common Stock as an investment or otherwise, or if Landlord does not timely provide all required broker paperwork to sell the Common Stock to the market maker or approved broker or fails to notify Tenant of its intent and willingness to sell all the shares of Common Stock by such time, the sales value of such shares of Common Stock shall no longer be guaranteed, and such portion of shares shall be considered payment pro rata.  By way of example only, if Landlord determines to hold all of the shares of 









Common Stock without providing all required broker paperwork to sell the common stock to the market maker or approved broker in accordance with the guaranty requirements and timelines under this Section 4.03, the Basic Rent, Security Deposit, Taxes, and Operating Expenses to the extent specified above shall be deemed paid in full.  Alternatively, if Landlord determines to hold, for example, 25% of all Common Stock paid to it as Basic Rent, Taxes, and Operating Expenses, and if the total Basic Rent, Taxes and Operating Expenses equal $1,000,000, then $250,000 shall be deemed paid for Basic Rent, Taxes and Operating Expenses, and Tenant guarantees that Landlord will receive for the Common Stock sold for the applicable sales periods an amount equal to $750,000, or 75% of the Basic Rent, Taxes and Operating Expenses provided above.  Any shortfall shall be paid by Tenant, and any excess amount to Landlord shall be applied to Taxes and Operating Expenses payable by Tenant, if any.  




ARTICLE 5

5.01    Use Restricted.
The Premises may be used for the Permitted Uses and for no other purpose.  No improvements may be made in or to the Premises except as otherwise provided in this Lease.


5.02    Rules and Regulations.
Tenant shall comply with the Rules and Regulations established from time to time by Landlord.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for (a) the failure of other tenants to comply with such Rules and Regulations, (b) the failure of other tenants to comply with any term or provision of their respective leases or (c) any nuisance or wrongful, negligent, improper, offensive or unlawful act or omission of any such other tenant.  The Landlord shall endeavor to enforce the Rules and Regulations uniformly among the tenants of the Building.













ARTICLE 6
Taxes; Operating Expenses;
Electrical and Gas Services; Late Payment


6.01    Operating Expenses and Taxes.
With respect to each Calendar Year, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes.  Amounts due under this Section 6.01 shall be due on the date which is thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of the statement described in Section 6.02 hereof.  Tenant shall receive credits against the amount otherwise due as provided in Section 4.03.


6.02    Annual Statement of Additional Rent Due.
Landlord shall render to Tenant a statement, showing (i) for the Calendar Year so indicated (a) Taxes and (b) Operating Expenses and (ii) for the then current Calendar Year, an estimate for (a) Operating Expenses, (b) Taxes and (c) Tenant's obligation under Section 6.01.


6.03    Monthly Payments of Additional Rent.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance for each calendar month of the Lease Term falling between receipt by Tenant of the statement described in Section 6.02 and receipt by Tenant of the next such statement, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to 1/12th of Tenant's estimated obligation under Section 6.01 shown thereon.  The amount due under this Section 6.03 shall be paid with Tenant's monthly payments of Basic Rent and shall be credited by Landlord to Tenant's obligations under Section 6.01.  If the total amount paid hereunder exceeds the amount due under such Section, such excess shall be credited by Landlord against the monthly installments of Additional Rent next falling due or shall be refunded to Tenant upon the expiration or termination of this Lease (unless such expiration or termination is the result of an Event of Default).


6.04    Accounting Periods.
Landlord shall have the right from time to time to change the periods of accounting hereunder to any other annual period than a Calendar Year, and upon any such change, all items referred to in this Article 6 shall be appropriately apportioned.  In all statements rendered under Section 6.02, amounts for periods partially within and partially without the accounting periods shall be appropriately apportioned, and any items which are not determinable at the time of a statement shall be included therein on the basis of Landlord's estimate and with respect thereof Landlord shall render to Tenant promptly after determination a supplemental statement and an appropriate adjustment shall be made according thereto.


6.05    Abatement of Taxes.
Landlord may at any time and from time to time make application to the appropriate Governmental Authority for an abatement of Taxes.  If (i) such an application is successful for reasons other than the existence of vacancies in the Building and (ii) Tenant has made any payment in respect of Taxes pursuant to this Article 6 for the period with respect to which the abatement was granted, Landlord shall (a) deduct from the amount of the abatement all expenses incurred by it in connection with the application, (b) recompute Tenant's obligation with respect to Taxes under Section 6.01 and refund any overpayment to Tenant and (c) retain the balance, if any.


6.06    Electric and Gas Service.









Tenant shall arrange to obtain electricity and gas for the Premises at Tenant’s expense from such source or sources as Landlord shall designate as the source or sources therefor for the Building from time to time.  Landlord shall have no obligation with respect to the provision of electricity and gas for the Premises.


If at any time Landlord provides electricity which it or an Affiliate has generated, whether by solar panels or otherwise (“Landlord-generated Electricity”), Landlord may (a) charge Tenant  therefor if Tenant pays for electricity by metering , by the payment of the Estimated cost of Electrical Service or otherwise and (b)  to the extent electricity may be included in Operating Expenses, Landlord may include a charge for such Landlord-generated Electricity  in Operating Expenses, in each case  at the same rate which the electric utility provider charges  for the same amount of electricity.  If Landlord or an Affiliate generates Landlord-generated Electricity at another property which results in Landlord obtaining a credit against the electric utility provider’s charges for electricity at the Building, the cost of electricity at the Building shall be determined  as if such credit had not been obtained.


6.07    Late Payment of Rent and Late Charges.
Tenant’s failure to pay Rent, Additional Rent, or any other Lease costs when due under this Lease may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs.  The exact amount of such costs are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain.  Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage, or deed of trust encumbering the Land or Building.


Therefore, if Landlord does not receive the Rent, Additional Rent, or any other Lease costs in full within five (5) days of its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge, which shall constitute liquidated damages, equal to ten percent (10%) of each unpaid portion (“Late Charge”), which shall be paid to Landlord together with such Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs then in arrears.


The parties agree that such Late Charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment.


For each Tenant payment check to Landlord that is returned by a bank for any reason, Tenant shall pay both a Late Charge (if applicable) and a returned check charge (“Returned Check Charge”) in an amount equal to that charged by Landlord’s bank at the time.


All Late Charges and any Returned Check Charge shall then become Additional Rent and shall be due and payable immediately along with such other Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs then in arrears.


Money paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be applied to Tenant’s account in the following order:  (i) to any unpaid Additional Rent, including, without limitation, Late Charges, Returned Check Charges, legal fees and/or court costs legally chargeable to Tenant, Operating Expenses and Taxes; and then (ii) to unpaid Basic Rent.


Nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to compel Landlord to accept any payment of Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs in arrears or Late Charge or Returned Check Charge should Landlord elect to apply its rights and remedies available under this Lease or at law or in equity in the case of an Event of Default hereunder by Tenant.  Landlord’s acceptance of Rent, 









Additional Rent, or other Lease costs in arrears or Late Charge or Returned Check Charge pursuant to this clause shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s rights and remedies available under this Lease at law or in equity.


In the event that Tenant makes three or more late payments of Rent during the Term, Landlord may deem such action, without further notice, to constitute an Event of Default sufficient to terminate (i) the Lease (ii) any provision for exercise by Tenant of any option rights under the Lease or (iii) both.

Tenant agrees to pay promptly when due the entire cost of any work done in the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees or independent contractors, and not to cause or permit any liens therewith to attach to the Premises and immediately to discharge any such liens which may so attach.  All construction work done by Tenant, its agents, employees or independent contractors shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements.

Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of Articles 17 and 18 hereof, surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in good condition and repair (damage by fire or casualty only excepted) with all damage occasioned by Tenant's removal of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment  or equipment repaired at Tenant's cost to Landlord's satisfaction.  Any property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed and disposed of by Landlord in such manner as it shall determine.  Tenant shall pay Landlord the entire cost and expense incurred by it in effecting such removal and disposition and in making any incidental repairs and replacements.

8.02    Limitations on Landlord's Liability.

Landlord's right, title and interest in the Premises shall not be subject to or liable for liens of mechanics or materialmen for work done on behalf of Tenant in connection with improvements to the Premises.  Notwithstanding such restriction, if because of any act or omission of Tenant, any mechanics’ lien or other lien, charge or order for payment of money shall be filed against any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, cause the same to be discharged of record within fifteen (15) days after the filing thereof.


11.02    Right to Discharge.
Without otherwise limiting any other remedy of Landlord for default hereunder, if Tenant shall fail to cause such liens to be discharged of record within the aforesaid fifteen (15) day period, then Landlord shall have the right to cause the same to be discharged.  All amounts paid by Landlord to cause such liens to be discharged shall constitute Additional Rent.




ARTICLE 12
Access to Premises


12.01    Access.
Landlord and Landlord's agents and designees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable times during ordinary business hours to examine same and to exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, tenants or other persons or agents as Landlord shall designate from time to time.  Landlord shall endeavor to provide Tenant reasonable notice prior to such entry except in the case of an emergency. Tenant shall have access to the Premises twenty four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week including holidays.




ARTICLE 13
Assignment and Subletting: Occupancy Arrangements


13.01    Subletting and Assignment.
Tenant shall not enter into any Occupancy Arrangement, either voluntarily or by operation of law without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant enter into negotiations to sublet all or any part of the Premises or to assign this Lease, offer to so sublet or assign or so sublet or assign to any tenant or occupant of the Building or to any party with whom Landlord is then negotiating with respect to space in the Building.


If Tenant intends to enter into an Occupancy Arrangement, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing, stating the name of (and providing a financial statement with respect to) the Person whom Tenant intends to enter into such Arrangement, the exact terms of the Occupancy Arrangement and a precise description of the portion of the Premises intended to be subject thereto.  Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such writing, Landlord shall either (i) consent to such Occupancy Arrangement, (ii) terminate this Lease with respect to so much of the Premises as is intended to be 









subject thereto, or (iii) deny consent to such Occupancy Arrangement.  The Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in denying its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting by the Tenant based on any of the following factors, without limitation:


		
	(a)
	The business of the proposed tenant is not consistent with the image and character which the Landlord desires to promote for the Building; 


		
	(b)
	The proposed assignment or subletting could adversely affect the ability of the Landlord and its affiliates to lease space in the Building or elsewhere in the Park (if applicable), including leasing space to any proposed assignee or subtenant; and


		
	(c)
	The credit worthiness of the proposed tenant is unsatisfactory to the Landlord, as the Landlord may determine in its reasonable discretion.


If the Landlord consents to such Occupancy Arrangement, Tenant shall (i) enter into such Arrangement on the exact terms described to Landlord within fourteen (14) days of Landlord's consent or comply again with the terms of this Section and (ii) remain liable for the payment and performance of the terms and covenants of this Lease.  If Tenant enters into such an Occupancy Arrangement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord when received the excess, if any, of amounts received in respect of such Occupancy Arrangement over the Rent.  For the purpose of the preceding sentence, amounts received by Tenant in respect of such Occupancy Arrangement shall be deemed to include (a) any costs assumed or paid by the subtenant thereunder (such as brokerage commissions, tenant improvements and other expenses) which normally are paid by landlords or sub-landlords in comparable transactions and (b) any sums paid for the sale, rental or use of any of Tenant’s personal property (in case of a sale only, reduced by Tenant’s depreciated basis thereof for federal income tax purposes).


If Landlord terminates this Lease pursuant to this Section, all Rent due shall be adjusted as of the day the Premises (or portion thereof) are redelivered to Landlord.  Any portion of the Premises so redelivered shall be in the condition specified in Section 7.04 hereof.


If Tenant’s stock is not publically held, the provisions of this Section 13.01 shall apply to a transfer (by one or more transfers) of a majority of the stock or other ownership interests of Tenant as if Tenant had entered into an Occupancy Arrangement.  Such provisions shall not apply to transactions with an entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any entity which controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant, provided that in any of such events (i) the successor to Tenant has a tangible net worth computed in accordance with generally accounting principles at least equal to the tangible net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such tangible net worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction, and (iii) the assignee agrees directly with Landlord, by written instrument in form satisfactory to Landlord, to be bound by all the obligations of Tenant hereunder including, without limitation, the covenant against further assignment or subletting.


Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet to an acquirer of its stock or all or substantially all of its assets with at least the same tangible net worth or greater without limitation.  Transfer among  its existing shareholders and issuances of additional securities also shall be excluded from transfer provisions.













ARTICLE 14
Indemnity


14.01    Tenant’s Indemnity.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and against any and all liability, damage, penalties or judgments and from and against any claims, actions, proceedings and expenses and costs in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, arising from injury to person or property sustained by anyone in and about the Building or the Premises or the Land by reason of an act or omission of Tenant, or Tenant's officers, agents, servants, employees, contractors, sublessees or invitees.  Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, defend any and all suits or actions (just or unjust) in which Landlord may be impleaded with others upon any such above mentioned matter, claim or claims, except as may result from the acts as set forth in Section 14.02.  All merchandise, furniture, fixtures and property of every kind, nature and description of Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, invitees, visitors, or guests which may be in or upon the Premises or the Building during the Lease Term shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and if the whole or any part thereof shall be damaged, destroyed, stolen or removed by reason of any cause or reason whatsoever, other than the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, no part of said damage or loss shall be charged to or borne by Landlord.


14.02    Landlord's Liability.
Except for wrongful acts or negligence of Landlord or the wrongful acts or negligence of its officers, agents, servants, employees or contractors, Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any damage or injury to any property, fixtures, buildings or improvements, or to any person or persons, at any time in the Premises, including any damage or injury to Tenant or to any of Tenant's officers, agents, servants, employees, contractors, invitees, customers or sublessees.













ARTICLE 15
Insurance


15.01    Liability Insurance.
Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain in force during the Lease Term commercial general liability insurance in a good and solvent insurance company or companies licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts selected by Tenant and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in an amount reasonably required by Landlord from time to time but in any event not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to injury or death to any one person and  Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to injury or death to more than one person in any one accident or other occurrence and  Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) with respect to damage to property.  Such policy or policies shall include Landlord and Landlord's managing agent and mortgagees as additional insureds and have deductibles of no more than $5,000.00.


Tenant shall also maintain in force during the Lease Term worker’s compensation insurance with statutory limits covering all of Tenant’s employees working at the Premises.


15.02    Casualty Insurance.
Unless Landlord shall elect to insure the same, Tenant shall cause its improvements to the Premises to be insured for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, against loss or damage under all risk coverage satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to the replacement value thereof.


15.03    Certificates.
Tenant shall deliver certificates of the insurance required under Sections 15.01 and 15.02 to Landlord as of the date hereof and thereafter not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy.  Such insurance shall not be cancelable without thirty (30) days' written notice to Landlord.




ARTICLE 16
Waiver of Subrogation


16.01    Waiver of Subrogation.
All property insurance policies carried by either party covering the Premises, including but not limited to contents shall expressly waive any right on the part of the insurer to make any claim against the other party.  The parties hereto agree that their policies will include such waiver clause or endorsement.











16.02    Waiver of Rights.
Each of Landlord and Tenant, on behalf of itself and its insurers, hereby waives all claims, causes of action and rights of recovery against the other and the other's respective partners, agents, officers and employees, for any damage to or destruction of property or business which shall occur on or about the Building and shall result from any of the perils insured under any and all policies of insurance maintained by the waiving party, regardless of cause, including the negligence and intentional wrongdoing of either party and their respective agents, officers and employees but only to the extent of recovery, if any, under such policy or policies of insurance; provided however, that this waiver shall be ineffective in the event any such insurer would be relieved from the obligation to make payment pursuant to a policy of insurance by reason of this waiver.




ARTICLE 17
Damage or Destruction


17.01    Damage by Fire, Casualty, Eminent Domain.
In case of damage to the Premises by fire or casualty or action of public authority in consequence thereof, Landlord shall restore the Premises to the same condition it was in prior to the damage, excluding, however, any alterations or improvements made by parties other than Landlord, provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be required to expend in the repair of the Premises and any other portions of the Building sustaining such damage more than the proceeds of such insurance made available to it by its mortgagee.  The work shall be commenced within thirty (30) days after receipt of the insurance proceeds and completed with due diligence except for delays due to governmental regulation, unusual scarcity of or inability to obtain labor or materials, or causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain the proceeds of all insurance against the damage.  If insurance is not carried against the damage, or if the available insurance proceeds, in Landlord’s sole judgment, would be insufficient to cover the cost of repair to the Premises, Landlord shall either restore the Premises to the same condition it was in prior to the damage or taking, excluding, however, any alterations or improvements made by parties other than Landlord, or terminate this Lease by giving Tenant, within sixty (60) days after the damage, at least fifteen (15) days prior notice specifying the termination date.


In the event that the Building is damaged or destroyed to the extent that Landlord shall determine that the same cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired or restored by Landlord within a period of six (6) months after the date of receipt of insurance proceeds, Landlord and Tenant each shall have the option to terminate this Lease.  Landlord shall have the sole right to determine whether the Building can be fully repaired or restored within such six (6) month period, and such determination shall be conclusive upon Tenant.  Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage or destruction of its determination whether or not the Building can be fully repaired or restored within such six (6) month period (“Determination Notice”).  In the event Landlord determines that restoration cannot be effected within such six (6) month period, Landlord or Tenant each shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other party of such termination within seven (7) days after the date of the Determination Notice, which notice shall specify a termination date not less than forty-five (45) days nor more than sixty (60) days following the date of the notice (“Termination Notice”).  Failure to send the Termination Notice in a timely manner shall be conclusively presumed to be a waiver of such option to terminate.  If Landlord determines that the Building can be fully repaired or restored within such six (6) month period, or if it is determined that such repair or restoration cannot be made within such period but 









neither Landlord or Tenant elects to terminate, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
During the final year of the Lease Term, in the event that said restoration is not complete within one hundred twenty (120) days of said damage and Tenant is not found to have caused such damage by a governmental authority or neutral third party approved by both Landlord and Tenant,  Tenant shall have the option to terminate the Lease upon thirty (30) days notice to Landlord, if Tenant is not in default hereunder and Tenant tenders payment to Landlord of all remaining unamortized transaction costs as determined by Landlord.
In case the Premises are rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty or action of public authority in consequence thereof, and this Lease is not terminated as herein provided, a just proportion of the Rent and real estate taxes, according to the nature of the injury, shall be abated until the repair is completed.


17.02    Restoration.
Landlord may, but shall not be required to, repair or restore any alterations or improvements made by Tenant, and, if Landlord elects to do so, Tenant shall make available to Landlord all insurance proceeds relating thereto.  Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any part of Tenant's furniture, furnishings or fixtures or equipment.  Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof.




ARTICLE 18
Eminent Domain


18.01    Total Taking.
If the Premises or the Building should be the subject of a Total Taking, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date when physical possession of the Building or the Premises is taken by the condemning authority.


18.02    Partial Taking.
If there shall occur a Partial Taking, Rent shall be abated by an amount representing that part of the Rent properly allocable to the portion of the Premises so taken and Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole expense, restore and reconstruct the Building (to the extent of the net proceeds made available to Landlord) and the Premises to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same, in Landlord's judgment, may be feasible.  The Landlord shall have no liability for interruption of Tenant's business.


18.03.    Awards and Proceeds.
All Proceeds payable in respect of a Taking shall be the property of Landlord.  Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights of Tenant in or to such Proceeds, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to separately petition the condemning authority for any separate award for its moving expenses and trade fixtures but only if such a separate award will not diminish the amount of Proceeds payable to Landlord.




ARTICLE 19
Quiet Enjoyment; Mortgagee's Rights











19.01    Landlord's Covenant.
Provided that an Event of Default has not occurred and is not then continuing, Tenant shall, subject to the Permitted Exceptions, quietly have and enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term, without hindrance or molestation from any Person lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord.


19.02    Superiority of Lease:  Option to Subordinate.
At any time and from time to time, Landlord shall have the option to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage of the Premises provided that the holder of record thereof enters into a non-disturbance agreement with Tenant in such holder’s customary form or, if specified by Landlord, in the form of Exhibit G hereto.  Tenant agrees to execute and deliver any appropriate instruments necessary to carry out the agreements contained in this Section 19.02.


19.03    Notice to Mortgagee.
In the event that Landlord has informed Tenant of the existence, identity and address of mortgagee and a mortgagee holds a mortgage on the Premises, no act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant's obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless (i) Tenant shall have first given written notice of Landlord's act or failure to act to Landlord's mortgagees of record, if any, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which could or would give rise to Tenant's rights, and (ii) such mortgagees, after receipt of such notice, have had the opportunity to cure such default within a reasonable time thereafter; but nothing contained in this Section 19.03 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such mortgagees to correct or cure any such condition.  "Reasonable time" as used above shall mean a period of not less than thirty (30) Business Days and shall include (but not be limited to) a reasonable time to obtain possession of the Building if the mortgagee elects to do so and a reasonable time to correct or cure the condition if such condition is determined to exist.











19.04    Other Provisions Regarding Mortgagees.
If this Lease or the Rent due hereunder is assigned to a mortgagee as collateral security for a loan, no such mortgagee shall be deemed to have assumed any of Landlord's obligations hereunder solely as a result of such assignment.  A mortgagee to whom this Lease has been so assigned shall be deemed to have assumed such obligations only if (i) by the terms of the instrument of assignment such mortgagee specifically elects to assume such obligations or (ii) such mortgagee has (a) foreclosed its mortgage, (b) accepted a deed in lieu thereof, or (c) taken possession of the Premises by entry or otherwise.  Even if such mortgagee assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder, (i) any such obligation under Section 24.01 to return the Security Deposit to Tenant shall be limited to the amount actually received by the mortgagee with respect thereto, and (ii) such mortgagee will be liable for breaches of any of Landlord's obligations hereunder only to the extent such breaches occur during the period of ownership by the mortgagee after foreclosure (or any conveyance by a deed in lieu thereof), all as set forth in Section 25.08. hereof.  Tenant shall from time to time, at the request of Landlord or any of Landlord's mortgagees, provide Landlord and such mortgagee with financial information pursuant to Section 26.05 of the Lease pertaining to Tenant as Landlord or such mortgagee may reasonably request. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date hereof there is no mortgage affecting the Premises.




ARTICLE 20
Defaults; Events of Default


20.01    Defaults.
The following shall, if any requirement for notice or lapse of time or both has not been met, constitute Defaults, and, if such requirement for notice or lapse of time have been met, constitute Events of Default hereunder:
		
	(1)
	Occurrence of any event set forth in Article 21 hereof;


		
	(2)
	The failure of Tenant to pay Rent when the same shall be due and payable or failure of Tenant to comply with any term or provision of Section 4.03, and, in either case, the continuance of such failure for a period of five (5) days after Landlord shall give Tenant notice specifying such failure;


		
	(3)
	The failure of Tenant to observe any covenant made by it in Sections 13.01, 15.01 and 25.03 hereof;


		
	(4)
	The failure of Tenant to keep, observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's part to be kept, observed or performed and the continuance of such failure without the curing of same for a period of twenty (20) days after receipt by Tenant of notice in writing from Landlord specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such failure.













20.02    Tenant's Best Efforts.
In the event that the Default under Section 20.01(4) is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within such twenty (20) day period, then such Default shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default so long as Tenant, after receiving such notice, proceeds to cure the Default as soon as reasonably possible and continues to take all steps necessary to complete the same within a period of time which, under all prevailing circumstances, shall be reasonable.  No such Default shall be deemed to be an Event of Default if and so long as Tenant shall be so proceeding to cure the same in good faith or be delayed in or prevented from curing the same by reason of Force Majeure.




ARTICLE 21
Insolvency


21.01    Insolvency.
If (1) there occurs with respect to Tenant an Insolvency or (2) any execution or attachment is issued against Tenant or any of its property and as a result thereof the Premises are taken or occupied by some Person other than Tenant, except as may herein be permitted, then an Event of Default hereunder shall be deemed to have occurred so that the provisions of Article 22 hereof shall become effective and Landlord shall have the rights and remedies provided for therein.




ARTICLE 22
Landlord's Remedies; Damages on Default


22.01    Landlord's Remedies.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Landlord may, at its option, give to Tenant a notice terminating this Lease upon a date specified in such notice, or Landlord may enter the Premises for the purpose of terminating this Lease, and upon the date specified in said notice or upon such entry the term and estate hereby vested in Tenant shall cease and any and all other right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall likewise cease without further notice or lapse of time, as fully and with like effect as if the entire Lease Term had lapsed, but Tenant shall continue to be liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided.


If such Event of Default results from Tenant's failure to pay any sums payable under Section 7.01, Landlord may, at its option, in addition to or in lieu of the other remedies available to Landlord, refuse Tenant access to the Premises.  


22.02    Surrender.
Upon any termination of this Lease as the result of an Event of Default, Tenant shall quit and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord.  Upon or at any time after any such termination, Landlord may without further notice enter the Premises and possess itself thereof by summary proceedings or otherwise, and may dispossess Tenant and remove Tenant and all other Persons and property from the Premises and may have, hold and enjoy the Premises and the right to receive all rental income of and from the same.


22.03    Right to Relet.
At any time from time to time after any such termination, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof, in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be 









greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may determine and may collect and receive the rents therefor.  Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting.


22.04    Survival of Covenants.
No such termination of this Lease shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations under this Lease and such liability and obligations shall survive any such termination.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost, expense, damage or liability arising out of or in connection with such termination as set forth below.


In the event of any such termination, Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the Rent up to the date of such termination.  Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed damages for Tenant's Default, the difference between
		
	(1)
	the aggregate Rent which would have been payable under this Lease by Tenant from the date of such termination until the Stated Expiration Date, and


		
	(2)
	the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, excluding Landlord's reasonable estimate of expenses to be incurred in connection with reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorney's fees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting.


If the Premises or any part thereof shall be relet by Landlord before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be, prima facie, the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting.


As additional and cumulative obligations after any such termination, Tenant shall also pay punctually to Landlord all the sums and shall perform all the obligations which Tenant covenants in this Lease to pay and to perform in the same manner and to the same extent and at the same time as if this Lease had not been terminated.  In calculating the amounts to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence, Tenant shall be credited with any amount paid to Landlord pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section 22.04 and also with the net proceeds of any rent obtained by Landlord by reletting the Premises, after deducting all Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, fees for legal services and expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting, it being agreed by Tenant that 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 which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term hereof and may grant such concessions and free rent as Landlord in its reasonable judgment considers advisable or necessary to relet the same and (ii) make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its reasonable judgment considers advisable or necessary to relet the same, and no action of Landlord in accordance with the foregoing or failure to relet or to collect rent under reletting shall operate or be construed to release or reduce Tenant's liability as aforesaid.


Nothing herein contained shall 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, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred to above.


22.05    Right to Equitable Relief.
If there shall occur a Default or threatened Default, Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin such Default or threatened Default and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.


22.06    Right to Self Help;  Interest on Overdue Rent.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to enter upon the Premises and to perform  the defaulted obligation notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such substituted performance by Landlord is made in this Lease with respect to such Event of Default.  In performing such obligation, Landlord may make any payment of money or perform any other act.  The aggregate of (i) all sums so paid by Landlord, (ii) interest (at the rate of 1 1/2% per month or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less) on such sums and (iii) all necessary incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be Rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord immediately upon demand.  Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.


All Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate provided in the preceding paragraph, payable on demand.


22.07    Payment of Landlord’s Cost of Enforcement.
Tenant shall pay, on demand, Landlord's expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or in curing any default by Tenant under this Lease as provided in Section 22.06.











22.08    Further Remedies.
Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 22.01, or at any time thereafter, Landlord may, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies Landlord shall have at law or in equity, re‐enter the Premises, and recover possession thereof and may dispossess any or all occupants of the Premises in the manner prescribed by the statute relating to summary proceedings, or similar statute(s); but Tenant in such case shall remain liable to Landlord as hereinbefore provided.




ARTICLE 23
Waivers


23.01    No Waivers.
Failure of Landlord to complain of any act or omission on the part of Tenant no matter how long the same may continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by said Landlord of any of its rights hereunder.  No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of the same or any other provision.  No acceptance by Landlord of any partial payment shall constitute an accord or satisfaction but shall only be deemed a partial payment on account.




ARTICLE 24
Security Deposit


24.01    Security Deposit.
Tenant shall pay to the Landlord  the Security Deposit in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 above.  Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit as security for the full and faithful payment or performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease and not as a prepayment of Rent.  Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord and shall not be liable to Tenant for the payment of interest thereon or profits therefrom.  Landlord may expend such amounts from the Security Deposit as may be necessary to cure any Default and, in such case, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount so expended, on demand.  Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner of the Building and thereafter Landlord shall have no further liability to Tenant with respect thereto.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Lease Termination Date, Landlord shall (i) inspect the Premises, (ii) make such payments from the Security Deposit as may be required to cure any outstanding Default hereunder and (iii) if no Default is then continuing, pay the balance of the Security Deposit to Tenant.


After the payment to the Landlord of the Security Deposit in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 above, in the event that on two (2) occasions thereafter a Default shall occur for which Landlord shall give Tenant a notice of Default, whether or not such Default shall be timely cured, and without limiting Landlord’s other rights and remedies under this Lease, Tenant shall, immediately upon notice from Landlord, increase the Security Deposit by paying to Landlord an additional amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the original Security Deposit, the original Security Deposit and such amount to be held thereafter by Landlord as the Security Deposit under the terms and provisions hereof.




ARTICLE 25
General Provisions











25.01    Force Majeure.
In the event that Landlord or Tenant shall be delayed, hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of Force Majeure, then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.


25.02    Notices and Communications.

25.03    Estoppel Certificate.
Tenant shall, without charge, at any time and from time to time hereafter, within ten (10) days after written request of Landlord, certify by written instrument in the form of Exhibit F, duly executed and acknowledged to Landlord or any mortgagee or purchaser, or proposed mortgagee or proposed purchaser, or any Person specified in such request; (a) as to whether this Lease has been supplemented or amended, and if so, the substance and manner of such supplement or amendment, (b) as to the existence of any Default or Event of Default, (c) as to the existence of any offsets, counterclaims or defenses thereto on the part of Tenant, (d) as to the Term Commencement Date and Stated Expiration Date, and (e) as to the other matters set forth in Exhibit F and any other matters as Landlord may reasonably request.  Any such certificate may be relied upon by Landlord and any other Person to whom the same may be exhibited or delivered, and the contents of such certificate shall be binding on the party executing same.

Such financial statements may be delivered to Landlord’s mortgagees and lenders and prospective mortgagees, lenders, investors and purchasers.

Tenant shall  have the right to remove any of the furniture from the Premises without Landlord’s written permission.  Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the furniture from the Premises at the end of Lease Term.


26.08    Option to Extend Term.
Tenant shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) five (5) year extension term (“Extension Term”) provided (i) no Event of Default shall exist at the time such option is exercised (ii) Tenant has not assigned this Lease or sublet the Premises at the time such option is exercised, and (iii) Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of its exercise of such option not less than nine (9) months prior to expiration of the original term, time being of the essence for the giving of such notice.  All of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during the Extension Term except (a) Tenant shall have no option to extend the term of the Lease beyond the Extension Term, (b) the Basic Rent for the Extension Term shall be the greater of the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to the Extension Term or the Market Rent (defined below) as of the first day of the Extension Term.











“Market Rent” shall be computed as of the applicable date at the then current rentals being charged to new tenants for comparable space located in the vicinity of the Building, taking into account and giving effect to, in determining comparability, without limitation, such considerations as size, location, and lease term.


Landlord shall initially designate the Market Rent and shall furnish data in support of such designation.  If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s designation of Market Rent, then Tenant shall have the right, by written notice given within twenty-one (21) days after Tenant has been notified of Landlord’s designation, to submit such Market Rent to arbitration as follows.  Market Rent shall be determined by arbitrators, one to be chosen by Tenant, one to be chosen by Landlord and a third to be selected, if necessary, as below provided.  If within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s notice, the parties agree upon a single arbitrator, Market Rent shall be determined by such arbitrator.  The unanimous written decision of the two first chosen without selection and participation of a third arbitrator, or otherwise the written decision of a majority of the three arbitrators chosen and selected as provided herein, shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.  Landlord and Tenant shall each notify the other of its chosen arbitrator within twenty-one (21) days following the call for arbitration and, unless such two arbitrators shall have reached a unanimous decision within thirty (30) days after their designation, then they shall so notify the then President of the Boston Bar Association and request him to select an impartial third arbitrator, who shall be another office building owner, a real estate counselor or a broker dealing with like types of properties, to determine Market Rent as herein defined.  Such third arbitrator and the first two chosen shall hear the parties and their evidence and render their decision within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of such hearing and notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. Landlord and Tenant shall bear the expense of the third arbitrator (if any) equally.  If the dispute between the parties as to Market Rent has not been resolved before the commencement of Tenant’s obligation to pay rent under the Lease in Market Rent, then Tenant shall pay rent under the Lease in respect of the Premises based upon the Market Rent designated by Landlord until either the agreement of the parties as to the Market Rent or the decision of the arbitrators, as the case may be, at which time Tenant shall pay any underpayment of rent to Landlord, or Landlord shall refund any overpayment of rent to Tenant.


26.09    Right of First Offer.
If Landlord determines to offer any space on the same floor contiguous to the Tenant’s Premises to a third party (that is, a party other than the tenant of such space as of the date hereof), Landlord shall first offer such space to Tenant (provided Tenant has not assigned the Lease nor sublet any portion of the Premises and Tenant is not, at the date of intended exercise of the option granted hereby, in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond applicable periods of notice and grace) on such terms as Landlord has determined to offer such space to third parties.  Landlord’s notice shall also set forth the proposed date of leasing to third parties (the “RFO Effective Date”).  Within ten (10) days of being notified of the terms of such proposed offering by Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to notify Landlord that Tenant elects to add such space to the Premises on all of the terms and conditions of this Lease except that the terms set forth in Landlord’s notice which are inconsistent with the terms of this Lease shall apply to the additional space so added to the Premises.  Such option space shall be added to the Premises on the RFO Effective date and shall remain part of the Premises for the lease term set forth in Landlord’s notice.  In the event written notice indicating its intent to exercise its option hereunder is not received by Landlord within this ten (10) day period, this Right of First Offer shall expire and Landlord may proceed to lease the available space with no further obligation to Tenant.  Any additional space shall be leased for a  period of thirty-six (36) months or through the Stated Expiration Date whichever period is greater.  This Right of First Offer 









is secondary and subordinate to existing tenants rights, if any.


26.10    Warehouse Area Recapture.
Landlord shall have the option to recapture the portion of the Warehouse Area labeled Recapture Premises on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Recapture Premises”). The Warehouse Area square footage shall be reduced accordingly upon the effective date of such recapture (the “Recapture Premises Effective Date”).  Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in the coordination and construction of the Recapture Premises.

AGREEMENT OF SUBORDINATION
NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT


THIS AGREEMENT is dated the ____ day of __________________, between CARRUTH PARTNERS LLC (“Lender”) and PAID, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).


RECITALS:


A.     Tenant has executed that certain lease dated ______________________, 2011 (the “Lease”) with FORTY WASHINGTON LLC, as Landlord (“Landlord”) covering the premises described in the Lease (“Premises”) in that certain building located at 40 Washington Street, Westborough, Massachusetts 01581 (the “Property”) and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, by this reference; and


B.    Lender has made or has agreed to make a mortgage loan to Landlord secured by a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property which includes an assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease (the “Mortgage”); and


C.    Tenant and Lender desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Lease and the Mortgage.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, terms, conditions, agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:


		
	1.
	The Lease and any extensions, modifications or renewals thereof, including but not limited to any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any portion thereof, if any, is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the Mortgage and the lien created thereby, and to any advancements made thereunder and to any consolidations, extensions, modifications or renewals thereof.




		
	2.
	Tenant agrees to deliver to Lender, in the manner set forth in paragraph 7, a copy of any notice of default sent to Landlord by Tenant.  If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided in the Lease, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation to cure such default on behalf of Landlord within thirty (30) calendar days after the time provided for Landlord to cure such default in the Lease or within a reasonable period if such default cannot be cured within that time, provided Lender is proceeding with due diligence to cure such default.  In such event Tenant shall not terminate the Lease while such remedies are being diligently pursued by Lender.  Further, Tenant shall not terminate the Lease on the basis of any default by Landlord which is incurable by Lender (such as, for example, the bankruptcy of Landlord or breach of any representation by Landlord), provided Lender is 











proceeding with due diligence to commence an action to appoint a receiver or to obtain the right to possession of the Property by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise (“Foreclosure”).  Tenant hereby agrees that no action taken by Lender to enforce any rights under the Mortgage or related security documents, by reason of any default thereunder (including, without limitation, the appointment of a receiver, any Foreclosure or any demand for rent under any assignment of rents or leases) shall give rise to any right of Tenant to terminate the Lease nor shall such action invalidate or constitute a breach of any of the terms of the Lease.


		
	3.
	So long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Tenant’s possession and occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender during the term of the Lease or any extension thereof.




		
	4.
	If Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, subject to Tenant’s performance of its obligations under the Lease, the Lease will continue in full force and effect.  Thereupon, Lender shall recognize the Lease and Tenant’s rights thereunder and Tenant shall make full and complete attornment to Lender as substitute Landlord upon the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided in the Lease, except for any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property as may be provided in the Lease.  Further, Tenant agrees that any such option or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any portion thereof, as may be provided in the Lease shall not apply to and shall not in any way impair or delay any Foreclosure, as defined herein.




		
	5.
	Tenant agrees that, if Lender shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, Lender, its successors and assigns, shall not be:


		
	(a)
	liable for any prior act or omission of Landlord or any prior Landlord or consequential damages arising therefrom; or


		
	(b)
	subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have as to Landlord or any prior Landlord; or


		
	(c)
	required or obligated to credit Tenant with any rent or additional rent for any rental period beyond the then current month which Tenant might have paid Landlord; or


		
	(d)
	bound by any material amendments or modifications of the Lease such as those affecting rent, term or permitted use made without Lender’s prior written consent; or


		
	(e)
	liable for refund of all or any part of any security deposit unless such security deposit shall have been actually received by Lender.




		
	6.
	The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  The words, “Lender,” “Landlord” and “Tenant” shall include their respective heirs, legatees, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, successors and assigns.




		
	7.
	All notices, and all other communication with respect to this Agreement, shall be directed as follows:  if to Lender, 116 Flanders Road, Suite 3000, Westborough, Massachusetts 01581 











(“Lender’s Address”) or such other address as Lender may designate in writing to Tenant and, if to Tenant, at the address set forth in the Lease or at such other address as Tenant may designate in writing to Lender.

Any notice served by certified mail shall be deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon fully prepaid and shall be deemed effective on the day of actual delivery as shown by the addressee’s return receipt or the expiration of three business days after the date of mailing, whichever is earlier in time.


		
	8.
	This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and no modifications shall be binding upon any party hereto unless set forth in a document duly executed by or on behalf of such party.




		
	9.
	This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall be deemed originals and with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document.  All of such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument.
