Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Original Lease, and all references to the Lease or “this Lease” or “herein” or “hereunder” or similar terms or to any sections thereof shall mean the Original Lease, or such section thereof, as amended by this Amendment.

6.Taxes; Expenses; Common Area Expenses.  Commencing on the Additional Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay, with respect to the Additional Premises, Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess, the Tax Excess, and the Common Area Expense Excess in the manner described in Exhibit 7 of the Original Lease, subject to the following:  

a.Tenant’s Share.  Solely with respect to the Additional Premises, (i) the term “Tenant’s Building Pro Rata Share,” as it appears in the Lease, shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Additional Premises and the denominator of which is the Rentable Square Footage of the Office Building (i.e., 12.02% as of the Effective Date); and (ii) the term “Tenant’s Common Area Pro Rata Share,” as it appears in the Lease, shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Additional Premises and the denominator of which is the Rentable Square Footage of the Buildings (i.e., 6.71% as of the Effective Date). 

b.Base Years.  Solely with respect to the Additional Premises, (i) the “Base Year” for Taxes shall be Fiscal Year 2019 (i.e., July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019); (ii) the “Base Year” for Expenses shall be Calendar Year 2019, and (iii) the “Base Year” for Common Area Expenses shall be Calendar Year 2019.   

Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, the Base Years with respect to the Existing Premises shall continue to be Fiscal Year 2017 for Taxes, and Calendar Year 2017 for Expenses and Common Area Expenses.  

5.Tenant’s Additional Premises Work.  Tenant shall have the right to perform certain alterations and improvements in the Additional Premises (the “Additional Premises Initial Alterations”).  The Additional Premises Initial Alterations shall be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit 3 of the Original Lease, except that for 

4

 



 

purposes of the Additional Premises Initial Alterations (i) the term “Allowance shall mean the sum of (a) $313,135.00 (i.e., $10.00 per rentable square foot of the Ninth Floor Premises, and $25.00 per rentable square foot of the Tenth Floor Premises) and (b) the Remaining Allowance (as defined below); (ii) the term “Test-Fit Allowance” shall mean an amount not to exceed $2,061.40 (i.e., $0.10 per rentable square foot of the Additional Premises); (iii) Tenant shall not be responsible for paying one percent (1%) of the sum of the hard costs and costs of engineering and design associated with the Additional Premises Initial Alterations, and therefore Section 7 of Exhibit 3 and Section 11.6 of the Original Lease shall be inapplicable to the Additional Premises Initial Alterations; and (iv) the term “Outside Draw Date” shall mean May 1, 2019.  Notwithstanding anything in the Original Lease to the contrary, including without limitation Section 6 of Exhibit 3, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that a balance of $32,384.00 remains from the Allowance provided under the Original Lease (the “Remaining Allowance”), which Remaining Allowance shall be available for Tenant to apply towards the cost of Tenant’s Additional Premises Initial Alterations.  Tenant shall be permitted to allocate up to twenty percent (20%) of the Allowance toward architectural and engineering fees, and shall be permitted to allocate up to fifteen percent (15%) of the Allowance toward telephone and/or data cabling. 

6.Electricity.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Ninth Floor Premises is separately metered for electricity, and Tenant agrees to pay for the electricity consumed in the Ninth Floor Premises in the manner set forth in Section 9.1 of the Original Lease.  Further, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that electricity consumed on the 10th floor of the Building is measured by a check meter, which Landlord shall read and invoice Tenant for such usage pro-rated on a per square foot basis between Tenant and other tenants of the tenth floor, and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, such amount within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s invoice. Should at any point during the Term the intended use of the balance of the tenth (10th) floor of the Building change from Office/General Administrative to a different use that is known to consume a higher level of electricity, Landlord, at its expense, shall separately meter the Tenth Floor Premises.

7.Extension Option. Tenant shall continue have the option to extend the Term of the Lease for one (1) additional period of five (5) years pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 1.2 of the Original Lease; provided, however, such Extension Term shall run from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, and shall be with respect to the entire Premises, including both the Exiting Premises and Additional Premises.

8.Parking.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, effective as of the Additional Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right to use nineteen (19) additional parking spaces (at the ratio of 0.9 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Additional Premises). Tenant’s use of the additional parking spaces shall be on a first come, first served basis at the then prevailing monthly parking rate, as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the published rates applicable to the Building. As of the Execution Date of this Amendment, the current monthly rate is $300.00 per unreserved parking space per month.

9.Security Deposit.  Reference is made to the fact that Landlord is presently holding a Security Deposit in the amount of $524,832.52 (the “Existing Security Deposit”) in the form of a letter of credit. At the time that Tenant executes and delivers this Amendment to Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord additional security in the amount of $420,010.25 (the “First 

5

 



 

Amendment Security Deposit”), thereby increasing the Security Deposit to $944,842.77 (the “Total Security Deposit”).  Such adjustment to the Security Deposit shall be effected by Tenant’s delivery of a new letter of credit, or an amendment to the existing letter of credit held by Landlord, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The Total Security Deposit shall continue to secure Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, and shall be held by Landlord in accordance with Section 7 of the Original Lease, as amended hereby.

10.Brokerage.  Each party represents to the other that it has not dealt with any broker in connection with this Amendment other than Transwestern Consulting Group. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other commissions relating to this Amendment asserted by any broker, agent or finder engaged by Tenant or with whom Tenant has dealt other than Transwestern Consulting Group.  Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other commissions relating to this Amendment asserted by any broker, agent or finder engaged by Landlord or with whom Landlord has dealt other than Transwestern Consulting Group.  Any commission due in connection with this Amendment shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and Transwestern Consulting Group. 

11.Ratification.  Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the Original Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and as further modified by this Amendment, is expressly ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, subject to the provisions of the Original Lease regarding assignment and subletting.

12.Governing Law; Interpretation and Partial Invalidity.  This Amendment shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  If any term of this Amendment, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Amendment, or the application of such term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Amendment shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  The titles for the paragraphs are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing this Amendment.  This Amendment contains all of the agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior dealings between them with respect to such subject matter.  No delay or omission on the part of either party to this Amendment in requiring performance by the other party or exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any provision hereof or any rights hereunder, and no waiver, omission or delay in requiring performance or exercising any right hereunder on any one occasion shall be construed as a bar to or waiver of such performance or right on any future occasion.

13.Successors.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

14.Counterparts and Authority.  This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. Landlord and Tenant each warrant to the other that the person or persons executing this Amendment on its behalf has or have authority to do so and that such execution has fully obligated and bound such party to all terms and provisions of this Amendment
