The payment by Tenant of the Abated Base Rent in the event of a Default shall not limit or affect any of Landlord’s other rights, pursuant to this Lease or at Law (defined below) or in equity as a result of a Default.

1.12                        “Property” means the Building and the parcel(s) of land on which it is located and, at Landlord’s discretion, the parking facilities and other improvements, if any, serving the Building and the parcel(s) of land on which they are located.

Tenant may lease reserved parking spaces in the Building garage at the then current rates, which as of the date hereof are $150.00 per month per reserved parking space.

 

1.15                        “Guarantor(s)”: Intentionally Omitted.

 

1.16                        “Landlord’s Work”: shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Exhibit C hereto.

 

1.17                        “Initial Alterations”: Intentionally Omitted.

 

1.18                        “Tenant’s Property” means, collectively, any signs, furnishings, trade fixtures, inventory, equipment, Tenant’s personal property and other removable property installed in the Premises by Tenant.

 

2.                                      Lease Grant.

 

The Premises are hereby leased to Tenant from Landlord, together with the right to use any portions of the Property that are designated by Landlord for the common use of tenants and others (the “Common Areas”).

 

3.                                      Adjustment of Commencement Date; Possession.

 

3.01                        If Landlord is required to perform Landlord’s Work prior to the Commencement Date: (a) the date set forth in Section 1.06 as the Commencement Date shall instead be defined as the “Target Commencement Date”; (b) the actual Commencement Date shall be the date on which Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete (defined below); and (c) the Expiration Date will be the last day of the Term as determined based upon the actual Commencement Date. Landlord’s failure to Substantially Complete Landlord’s Work by the Target Commencement Date shall not be a default by Landlord or otherwise render Landlord liable for damages. After the determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall send to Tenant a commencement date letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Tenant’s failure to execute and return the letter, or to provide written objection to the statements contained in the letter, within thirty (30) days after the date of the letter shall be deemed an approval by Tenant of the statements contained therein. If the Expiration Date does not fall on the last day of a calendar month, Landlord and Tenant may elect to adjust the Expiration Date to the last day of the calendar month in which the Expiration Date occurs by the mutual execution of a commencement letter agreement setting forth such adjusted date. Landlord’s Work shall be deemed to be “Substantially Complete” on the date that a certain portion of Landlord’s Work has been performed, so that Tenant may occupy that portion of the Premises for the operation of Tenant’s business. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all of Landlord’s Work will not be completed as of the Commencement Date and Landlord may complete the remainder of Landlord’s Work within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date and the Commencement Date shall not be adjusted or postponed due to Landlord’s Work not being completed prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the date that Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete. Following completion of Landlord’s Work, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually prepare a list of “punch-list items” to be completed by Landlord within a reasonable time. If Landlord is delayed in the performance of Landlord’s Work as a result of any acts of Tenant or its contractors or vendors, including, without limitation, changes requested by Tenant to approved plans, Tenant’s failure to timely comply with any of its obligations under this Lease, or the specification of any materials or equipment with long lead times (any such delay, a “Tenant Delay”), Landlord’s Work shall be deemed to be Substantially Complete on the date that Landlord could reasonably have been expected to Substantially Complete Landlord’s Work absent any Tenant Delay. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Landlord’s Work has not been fully performed, other than punch list items, prior to February 1, 2016 for any reason other than a Tenant Delay or a delay due to Force Majeure, then for each day between February 1, 2016 and the date that Landlord’s Work is fully performed, Tenant shall receive one (1) day of Rent abatement in addition to the Abated Base Rent set forth in Section 1.03. Further, if the Landlord’s Work is not fully performed, other than the punch list items, prior to March 17, 2016 for any reason other than a Tenant Delay or a delay due to Force Majeure, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by providing written notice to Landlord.

3.02                        Subject to Landlord’s obligation, if any, to perform Landlord’s Work (and any punch-items resulting from Landlord’s Work), the Premises are accepted by Tenant in “as is” condition and configuration without any representations or warranties by Landlord. By taking possession of the Premises, subject to this Section 3.02, Tenant agrees that the Premises are in good order and satisfactory condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for latent defects in Landlord’s Work of which tenant notifies Landlord. Landlord, at its option, may assign any valid and enforceable warranties given to Landlord by contractors or subcontractors performing Landlord’s Work directly to Tenant for enforcement. Landlord shall not be liable for a failure to deliver possession of the Premises or any other space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by another party, however Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the space. The Commencement Date for the Premises, in such event, shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant free from occupancy by any party. If Tenant takes possession of the Premises for the conduct of its business before the Commencement Date, such possession shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and Tenant shall pay Rent (defined in Section 4.01) to Landlord for each day of possession before the Commencement Date. However, except for the cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g. freight elevator usage), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for any days of possession before the Commencement Date during which Tenant, with the approval of Landlord, is in possession of the Premises for the sole purpose of performing improvements or installing furniture, equipment or other personal property.

 

4.                                      Rent.

 

4.01                        Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any setoff or deduction, unless expressly set forth in this Lease, all Base Rent and Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) due for the Term (collectively referred to as “Rent”). Base Rent shall commence on the Commencement Date, subject to the Base Rent Abatement Periods. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, an amount equal to the first full monthly installment of Base Rent, which shall be applied toward the seventh (7th) month of the Term, plus any fraction of a monthly payment for any portion of a month at the commencement of the Term, shall be due and payable together with the Security Deposit (as defined herein) upon the execution hereof. Landlord’s receipt of the foregoing payments shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Lease. All Additional Rent shall commence on the Commencement Date except as expressly provided otherwise. “Additional Rent” means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is required to pay Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes (but excluding income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent. Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month without notice or demand. Unless otherwise specified herein to the contrary, all other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before thirty (30) days after billing by Landlord. Rent shall be made payable to the entity, and sent to the address, Landlord otherwise designates and shall be made by good and sufficient check drawn on a local bank or by other means acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee equal to five percent (5%) of all past due Rent, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to a grace period of five (5) days for the first two (2) late payments of Rent in a calendar year. In addition, past due Rent shall accrue interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Landlord’s acceptance of less than the correct amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on account of the earliest Rent due. Rent for any partial month during the Term shall be prorated. No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying payment shall be considered an accord and satisfaction. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent is independent of every other covenant in this Lease.

 

4.02                        Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Expenses in accordance with Exhibit B of this Lease.

 

5.                                      Compliance with Laws; Use; Hazardous Materials.

 

5.01                        The Premises shall be used for the Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant shall comply with all laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of any municipal or governmental entity whether in effect now or later (“Law(s)”), including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), regarding the operation of Tenant’s business and the use, condition, configuration and occupancy of the Premises provided, that as part of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall deliver the Premises in compliance with the ADA, except for any compliance requirements triggered by Tenant’s particular occupancy and

use of the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with any Laws that relate to the Base Building (defined below), but only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Tenant’s use of the Premises, other than for general office use, or Alterations or improvements in the Premises performed or requested by Tenant. “Base Building” shall include the structural portions of the Building, the public restrooms and the Building mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any notices it receives regarding an alleged violation of Law. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building attached hereto as Exhibit G and such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time, including rules and regulations for the performance of Alterations (defined in Section 9).

 

5.02                        Tenant shall not use the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used, (1) for the business of photographic, multilith or multigraph reproductions or offset printing (other than those which are ancillary to an otherwise Permitted Use), (2) for an off-the-street retail commercial banking, thrift institution, loan company, trust company, depository or safe deposit business accepting deposits from the general public, (3) for the off-the-street retail sale of travelers checks, money orders, drafts, foreign exchange or letters of credit or for the receipt of money for transmission, (4) by the United States government, the City of Stamford, any foreign government, the United Nations or any agency or department of any of the foregoing having or asserting sovereign immunity, (5) for the preparation, dispensing or consumption of food or beverages in any manner whatsoever, except for the preparation, dispensing and consumption of food by Tenant’s employees who work in the Premises and not for the sale of food to any Persons other than such employees (other than vending machines), (6) as an employment agency, day-care facility, labor union, school, or vocational training center (except for the training of employees of Tenant intended to be employed at the Premises), (7) as a barber shop, beauty salon or manicure shop, (8) for product display activities (such as those of a manufacturer’s representative), (9) as offices of any public utility company, (10) for data processing activities (other than those which are ancillary to an otherwise Permitted Use), (11) for clerical support services or offices of public stenographers or typists (other than those which are ancillary to an otherwise Permitted Use), (12) as reservation centers for airlines or travel agencies, (13) for retail or manufacturing use, (14) as studios for radio, television or other media, (15) for offices for a real estate brokerage firm or (16) for any obscene or pornographic purpose or any sort of commercial sex establishment or for exhibition to the public of any obscene or pornographic materials. For purposes of the preceding clause (16), “pornographic” shall mean that the material or purpose has prurient appeal or relates, directly or indirectly, to lewd or prurient sexual activity and “obscene” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in New York Penal Law Section 235.00. Furthermore, the Premises shall not be used for any purpose that would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, tend to lower the first-class character of the Building (provided that the operation of a biotechnology company shall not lower the first-class character of the Building), create unreasonable or excessive elevator or floor loads, violate the certificate of occupancy of the Building, impair or interfere with any of the Building operations or the proper and economic heating, air-conditioning, cleaning or any other services of the Building, interfere with the use of the other areas of the Building by any other tenants, or impair the appearance of the Building. In the event that Landlord reasonably and in good faith determines that Tenant is a high-density user of the Premises (such that Tenant is using a disproportionate amount of the Base Building facilities), Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent for the costs actually incurred by Landlord resulting from Tenant’s high-density use.

 

5.03                        Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, comply at all times with all Laws governing the use, generation, storage, treatment and/or disposal of any Hazardous Materials (as defined below), the presence of which results from or in connection with the act or omission of Tenant or Tenant Related Parties or the breach of this Lease by Tenant or Tenant Related Parties. The term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any biologically or chemically active or other toxic or hazardous wastes, pollutants or substances, including, without limitation, asbestos, PCBs, petroleum products and by-products, substances defined or listed as “hazardous substances” or “toxic substances” or similarly identified in or pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq., and as hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6010, et seq., any chemical substance or mixture regulated under the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 2601, et seq., any “toxic pollutant” under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 466 et seq., as amended, any hazardous air pollutant

 

5

 

under the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq., hazardous materials identified in or pursuant to the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. § 1802, et seq., and any hazardous or toxic substances or pollutant regulated under any other Laws. Tenant shall agree to execute, from time to time, at Landlord’s request, affidavits, representations and the like concerning Tenant’s best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Premises or the Property. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in satisfying any Laws imposed upon Landlord relating to Tenant’s operations, and shall, upon request, furnish complete information to Landlord concerning the use or existence of any Hazardous Materials, contamination or pollution at the Building, including, without limitation, execution and submission of a “negative declaration” with regard to its operations in connection with any “transfer of establishment” consistent with the requirements of C.G.S.A. Section 22a-134 to 22a-134d inclusive. The terms “negative declaration” and “transfer of establishment” are defined in C.G.S.A. Section 22a-134. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless all Landlord Related Parties from and against any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising by reason of any clean up, removal, remediation, detoxification action or any other activity required or recommended of any Landlord Related Parties by any governmental authority by reason of the presence in or about the Premises or the Property of any Hazardous Materials, as a result of or in connection with the act or omission of Tenant or Tenant Related Parties or the breach of this Lease by Tenant or Tenant Related Parties. Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising by reason of any clean up, removal, remediation, detoxification action or any other activity required or recommended of Tenant by any governmental authority by reason of the presence in or about the Premises or the Property of any Hazardous Materials prior to the Commencement Date. The foregoing covenants and indemnities shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Lease.

 

6.                                      Security Deposit.

 

6.01                        Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the signing of this Lease the Security Deposit either in the form of cash or Letter of Credit (as defined and further described in Section 6.02), as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease. If the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, the remainder of this Section 6.01 through Section 6.05 shall govern and if the Security Deposit is in the form of cash, Section 6.06 shall govern. Tenant agrees that in the event (i) of the occurrence of a Default or (ii) Tenant has defaulted beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, if any, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, including the payment of any item of Rent, and the transmittal of a Notice of default by Landlord is barred by applicable law, Landlord may draw the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and use, apply or retain the whole or any part of such proceeds, to the extent required for the payment of any Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other sum as to which Tenant is in Default, or for any sum that Landlord may reasonably expend or may be required to expend by reason of the Default (including any damages or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord). If Landlord applies or retains any portion or all of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall forthwith restore the amount so applied or retained by delivering an additional or new Letter of Credit so that, at all times, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be the amount set forth in the Basic Lease Information. Provided there is no uncured Default, any balance of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit held by Landlord and not used, applied or retained by Landlord as above provided, and any remaining Letter of Credit, shall be returned to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the Expiration Date and after delivery of possession of the entire Premises to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

 

6.02                        Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a clean, irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit (such letter of credit, and any replacement thereof as provided herein, is called a “Letter of Credit”) issued and drawn upon any commercial bank reasonably approved by Landlord with offices for banking purposes in the State of New York or Connecticut (“Issuing Bank”), which Letter of Credit shall have a term of not less than one year, be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, be for the account of Landlord and be in the amount of the Security Deposit set forth in the Basic Lease Information. The form of letter of credit annexed to this Lease as Exhibit D is satisfactory. The Letter of Credit shall provide that:

 

(1)                                 The Issuing Bank shall pay to Landlord or its duly authorized representative an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit upon presentation of the Letter of Credit and a sight draft in the amount to be drawn;

 

6

 

(2)                                 The Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each during the Term, unless the Issuing Bank sends written notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Landlord by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, to the effect that it elects not to have such Letter of Credit renewed;

 

(3)                                 The Letter of Credit delivered in respect of the last year of the Term shall have an expiration date of not earlier than sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date; and

 

(4)                                 The Letter of Credit shall be transferable by Landlord as provided in Section 6.04.

 

6.03                        Landlord, after receipt of the Non-Renewal Notice, shall have the right to draw the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and to hold the proceeds as a cash Security Deposit. Landlord shall release such proceeds to Tenant upon delivery to Landlord of a replacement Letter of Credit complying with the terms hereof.

 

6.04                        In the event of the sale or lease of the Building or the Property, Landlord shall have the right, at no cost to Landlord, to transfer the Security Deposit, without charge for such transfer (unless such charge is payable by Tenant), to the purchaser or lessee, and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such Security Deposit. In such event, Tenant agrees to look solely to the new landlord for the return of said Security Deposit. It is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new Landlord. Tenant shall execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish such transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit.

 

6.05                        Tenant covenants that it will not assign or encumber, or attempt to assign or encumber, the Security Deposit held hereunder, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance. In the event that any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other debtor-creditor proceedings shall be instituted by or against Tenant, its successors or assigns, or any guarantor of Tenant hereunder, the security shall be deemed to be applied to the payment of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due Landlord for periods prior to the institution of such proceedings and the balance, if any, may be retained by Landlord in partial satisfaction of Landlord’s damages.

 

6.06                        If the Security Deposit is in the form of cash, the Security Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant and held by Landlord without liability for interest (unless required by Law) as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of damages. Landlord may use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to satisfy past due Rent or to cure any Default (defined in Section 18) by Tenant. If Landlord uses any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within 5 days after demand, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 45 days after the later to occur of: (a) determination of the final Rent due from Tenant; or (b) the later to occur of the Expiration Date or the date Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord in compliance with Section 25. Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to a successor or transferee and, following the assignment, Landlord shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts.

 

6.07                        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon Tenant’s written notice to Landlord (the “Reduction Notice”) and provided no Default in then occurring under this Lease, the aggregate amount of the Security Deposit (whether in the form of cash or Letter of Credit) shall be reduced to $157,367.76 after the thirty-sixth (36th) month following the end of the Initial Base Rent Abatement Period. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Reduction Notice and Tenant is entitled a reduction of the Security Deposit as provided for herein, (i) Landlord shall return the applicable portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the later to occur of (A) Landlord’s receipt of the Reduction Notice, and (B) the date upon which Tenant is entitled to a reduction in the Security Deposit as provided above, if the Security Deposit is held in the form of cash, or (ii) Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, shall execute and deliver such documents as are reasonably necessary to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof, if the Security Deposit is held in the form of a Letter of Credit.

 

7

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant has been in Default under this Lease at any time prior to the effective date of the reduction of the Security Deposit and Tenant has failed to cure such Default within any applicable cure period, then Tenant shall have no right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit as described herein.

 

7.                                      Building Services.

 

7.01                        Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the following services: (a) hot and cold water for use in the Building lavatories; (b) customary heat and air conditioning in season during Building Service Hours, although Tenant shall have (i) the right to receive HVAC service during hours other than Building Service Hours by paying Landlord’s then standard charge for additional HVAC service (which is currently $100 per hour per floor with a two (2) hour minimum, subject to additional charges for supplemental HVAC units) and providing such prior notice as is reasonably specified by Landlord, and (ii) access to supplemental air conditioning by paying Landlord’s then standard charge therefor (which is currently a tap in charge of $200.00 per ton) to connect to the Building condenser water, plus a current monthly fee of $40 per ton; (c) standard janitorial service on Business Days in accordance with the Cleaning Specifications attached hereto as Exhibit H; (d) elevator service; (e) electricity in accordance with the terms and conditions in Section 7.02; (f) access to the Building for Tenant and its employees 24 hours per day/7 days per week, subject to the terms of this Lease and such protective services or monitoring systems, if any, as Landlord may reasonably impose, including, without limitation, sign-in procedures and/or presentation of identification cards; and (g) such other services as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate for the Property. In the event Tenant installs any private restroom(s) and/or shower(s) in the Premises or any above standard kitchen, pantry(ies), fitness center and/or any other above standard improvements, Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all cleaning, repairs and replacements to such restroom(s), shower(s), above-standard kitchen, pantry(ies), fitness center and/or any other above standard improvements. If any additional cleaning of the Premises above the Building standard specifications is to be done by Tenant, it shall be done at Tenant’s sole expense, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and no one other than persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises or the Building for such purpose. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish from the Premises and the Building (i) to the extent that the same, in any one day, unreasonably exceeds the average daily amount of refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of such Premises as offices, as described and included in Landlord’s cleaning contract for the Building or recommended by Landlord’s cleaning contractor, and (ii) related to or deriving from the preparation or consumption of food or drink (other than typical office use). Bills for the same shall be rendered by Landlord to Tenant at such time as Landlord may elect and shall be due and payable as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after the time rendered. Tenant shall cause all portions of the Premises used for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages to be cleaned daily in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and to be treated against infestation by vermin, rodents or roaches, whenever there is evidence of any infestation. Tenant shall not permit any person to enter the Premises or the Building for the purpose of providing such extermination services, unless such persons have been reasonably approved by Landlord.

 

7.02                        All electricity consumed by Tenant in the Premises shall be paid for by Tenant as Additional Rent in accordance with the terms of this Lease. In addition, Landlord may, at its option, furnish and install, at Tenant’s expense, all lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs, and ballasts required in the Premises at reasonable and customary rates; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable if it elects, in its sole discretion, not to replace any lighting tube, lamp, bulb or ballast, or if it is delayed in replacing same for any reason, including without limitation delays in deliveries or unavailability of non building standard items. During each calendar year, or portion thereof, falling within the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a charge for consumption of electricity in the Premises as stated by the meter described in Section 1.13 hereof together with a monthly administrative charge thereon of 3%. Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed 6 watts per rentable square foot of the Premises. Electrical service to the Premises may be furnished by one or more companies providing electrical generation, transmission and distribution services, and the cost of electricity may consist of several different components or separate charges for such services, such as generation, distribution and standard cost charges. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select any company providing electrical service to the Premises, to aggregate the electrical service for the Property and Premises with other buildings, to purchase electricity through a broker and/or buyers group and to change the providers and manner of purchasing electricity. Landlord shall

 

8

 

be entitled to receive a fee (if permitted by Law) for the selection of utility companies and the negotiation and administration of contracts for electricity, provided that the amount of such fee shall not exceed 50% of any savings obtained by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any interruption or failure of or defect in the supply, character, quantity or quality of electric energy furnished to the Premises or for any loss, damage or expense Tenant may sustain if either the supply, character, quantity or quality of electric service is changed or is no longer suitable for Tenant’s requirements, whether by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Building with electricity or for any other reason. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the event at any time during the Term Tenant installs any type of supplemental equipment (including, but not limited to, supplemental HVAC equipment) in or serving the Premises (subject to Landlord’s consent), then Landlord may require, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, that Tenant separately meter the electrical usage for the Premises (or separately meter the electrical usage for such supplemental equipment using Landlord’s approved metering equipment and electrician) or, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may use any other method of measuring electrical usage that Landlord deems appropriate and Tenant shall be required to pay Landlord for such additional electrical usage.

 

7.03                        Landlord reserves the right to stop the furnishing of the Building services and to stop service of the Base Building, when necessary, by reason of accident, or emergency, or for alterations in the judgment of Landlord desirable or necessary to be made, until such accident or emergency shall have ceased or said alterations shall have been completed; and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply air-conditioning, ventilation, heat, elevator, plumbing, electric, or other services during said period or when prevented from so doing by strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, difficulty of obtaining materials, accidents or by any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, or by Laws or failure of electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power supply, or inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power. Except as expressly provided in Section 16.02 in the event of a Casualty, no diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant as a result therefrom, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of such interruption, curtailment or suspension, nor shall the same constitute an actual or constructive eviction. Without limiting events that may constitute “any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control,” the following are items which Landlord and Tenant agree are beyond Landlord’s reasonable control:

 

(a)                                 Lack of access to the Property, Building or the Premises (which shall include, but not be limited to, the lack of access to the Building or the Premises when it or they are structurally sound but inaccessible due to evacuation of the surrounding area or damage to nearby structures or public areas);

 

(b)                                 any cause outside the Building or the Property;

 

(c)                                  Reduced air quality or other contaminants within the Building that would adversely affect the Building or its occupants (including, but not limited to, the presence of biological or other airborne agents within the Building or the Premises);

 

(d)                                 Disruption of mail and deliveries to the Building or the Premises resulting from a casualty;

 

(e)                                  Disruption of telephone and telecommunications services to the Building or the Premises resulting from a casualty; or

 

(f)                                   Blockages of any windows, doors, or walkways to the Building or the Premises resulting from a casualty.

 

8.                                      Leasehold Improvements.

 

All improvements in and to the Premises, including any Alterations (defined in Section 9.03) but excluding Tenant’s Property (collectively, “Leasehold Improvements”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant (including, but not limited to, any pantry and kitchen appliances installed by or for Tenant), provided that Tenant, at its expense, removes any Required Removables (as hereinafter defined), including any Cable (defined in Section 9.01 below), in compliance with the National Electric Code or other

 

9

 

applicable Law. Landlord, by written notice to Tenant (the “Removal Notice”) delivered prior to the Expiration Date, may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove any Alterations that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office improvements (the Cable and such other items collectively are referred to as “Required Removables”). Required Removables shall include, without limitation, vending machines, internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall have an obligation to remove the Required Removables specifically enumerated in this sentence upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease whether or not Landlord delivers notice to Tenant requiring removal of the same as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. The Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease or within thirty (30) days following the date of the Removal Notice if the date of the Removal Notice is not at lease thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date or earlier termination date. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s expense. Tenant, at the time it requests approval for a proposed Alteration, may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration, or any portion thereof, is a Required Removable. Within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing as to which portions of the Alteration are Required Removables.

 

9.                                      Repairs and Alterations.

 

9.01                        Tenant shall periodically inspect the Premises to identify any conditions that are dangerous or in need of maintenance or repair. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with notice of any such conditions. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform all maintenance and repairs to the Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and keep the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations include, without limitation, repairs to: (a) floor covering; (b) interior partitions; (c) doors; (d) the interior side of demising walls; (e) electronic, fiber, phone and data cabling, wiring and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (collectively, “Cable”); (f) supplemental HVAC conditioning units, kitchens, including, without limitation, hot water heaters, plumbing and similar facilities, systems and/or equipment exclusively serving Tenant; and (g) Alterations. Subject to the terms of Section 15 below, to the extent Landlord is not reimbursed by insurance proceeds and so long as Landlord maintains insurance as required in Section 14 of this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing damage to the Building caused by the acts of Tenant, Tenant Related Parties (as hereinafter defined) and their respective contractors and vendors. Tenant shall, prior to the Commencement Date and at its sole cost and expense, enter into a service contract for all supplemental HVAC units, which service contract shall provide for quarterly maintenance of such units and which service contract shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall provide a copy of such service contract to Landlord promptly following execution thereof, but in no event later than the Commencement Date. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises or otherwise fails to fulfill its obligations under this Section 9 for more than fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required in an emergency), Landlord may make the repairs and/or take any other reasonable action to cure such failure by Tenant, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of same, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 8% of such cost as Additional Rent.

 

9.02                        Landlord shall keep and maintain in good repair and working order and perform maintenance upon the: (a) structural elements of the Building; (b) Base Building systems, mechanical (including HVAC), electrical, plumbing and fire/life safety systems serving the Building in general; (c) Common Areas; (d) roof of the Building; (e) exterior windows of the Building; and (f) elevators serving the Building. Landlord shall promptly make repairs for which Landlord is responsible.

 

9.03                        Tenant shall not make alterations, repairs, additions or improvements or install any Cable in or to the Premises (collectively referred to as “Alterations”) without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that (1) the outside appearance or the strength of the Building shall not be affected; and (2) the structural parts of the Building and the proper functioning of the Base Building shall not be adversely affected. However, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for

 

10

 

any Alteration that satisfies all of the following criteria (a “Cosmetic Alteration”): (a) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures and installing carpeting; (b) is not visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building; (c) will not affect the Base Building or require a building permit; (d) does not require work to be performed inside the walls or above the ceiling of the Premises; and (e) such Alterations (or a related series of Alterations) do not exceed $25,000.00. Landlord’s consent to Cosmetic Alterations, the cost of which exceeds $25,000.00, will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Cosmetic Alterations shall be subject to all the other provisions of this Section 9.03 relating to non-Cosmetic Alterations. All non-Cosmetic Alterations shall be performed by a Landlord Approved General Contractor, each charging commercially competitive rates, a current list of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit C-1, however, Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to specific Base Building items. Prior to starting any non-Cosmetic Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord, for its approval, with plans and specifications; names of sub-contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord (provided such sub-contractors are not selected by Landlord’s Approved General Contractor); required permits and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance (including workers’ compensation insurance) in amounts reasonably required by Landlord and naming Landlord as an additional insured; and any security for performance in amounts reasonably required by Landlord. Changes to the plans and specifications must also be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with all applicable Laws and using new materials of a quality reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any sums paid by Landlord for third party examination of Tenant’s plans for Alterations (other than the Plans for Landlord’s Work attached hereto as Exhibit C-2). In addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for Landlord’s oversight and coordination of any non-Cosmetic Alterations equal to 8% of the cost of the non-Cosmetic Alterations; provided however, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to pay such fee in connection with Landlord’s Work.

 

10.                               Entry by Landlord.

 

Landlord may enter the Premises to inspect or clean the Premises or to perform or facilitate the performance of repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises or any portion of the Building at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice (provided that no notice shall be required for cleaning or emergencies). Landlord may enter the Premises without notice to show the Premises within the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, provided that when practicable, Landlord will attempt to give oral notice prior to entry to show the Premises during the last twelve months of the Term. If reasonably necessary, Landlord may temporarily close all or a portion of the Premises to perform repairs, alterations and additions. However, except in emergencies, Landlord will not close the Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on weekends and after Building Service Hour. Entry by Landlord shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.

 

11.                               Assignment and Subletting.

 

11.01                 Except as otherwise provided in this Article 11, Tenant shall not (a) assign this Lease (whether by operation of law, transfers of interests in Tenant or otherwise); or (b) mortgage or encumber Tenant’s interest in this Lease, in whole or in part; or (c) sublet, or permit the subletting of, the Premises or any part thereof; or (d) permit the Premises or any part thereof to be occupied or used for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise by any person other than Tenant. Tenant shall not advertise or authorize a broker to advertise for a subtenant or assignee, without in each instance, obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

Landlord agrees that Tenant is entering into this Lease for itself and the benefit of certain of its affiliated entities, as described below (“Affiliated Entities”), and therefore the Premises may be used by any Affiliated Entities without separate prior written consent of the Landlord, provided that Tenant delivers prior written notice to Landlord of the occupancy by the Affiliated Entities and the identity of the Affiliated Entities, and further provided that (a) Tenant does not separately demise the space used by the Affiliated Entities and the Affiliated Entities shall utilize with Tenant one common entryway to the Premises as well as certain shared central services, such as reception, photocopying and the like; (b) the Affiliated Entities shall not occupy, in the aggregate, more than 10% of the rentable area in the Premises; (c) the Affiliated Entities operate their business in the Premises for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose; and (d) the

 

11

 

business of the Affiliated Entities is suitable for the Building considering the business of other tenants and the Building’s prestige. If any Affiliated Entities occupy any portion of the Premises as described herein, it is agreed that (i) the Affiliated Entities must comply with all provisions of this Lease, and a Default by any Affiliated Entities shall be deemed a Default by Tenant under this Lease; (ii) all notices required of Landlord under the Lease shall be sent only to Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and in no event shall Landlord be required to send any notices to any Affiliated Entities; (iii) in no event shall any such occupancy or use by the Affiliated Entities release or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease; (iv) the Affiliated Entities and their employees, contractors and invitees visiting or occupying space in the Premises shall be deemed contractors of Tenant for purposes of Tenant’s indemnification obligations in Section 13 of this Lease; and (v) if the Affiliated Entities pay Rent for the Premises directly to Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may accept the Rent and the Rent shall be considered to be for the account of Tenant and applied against the Rent owed by Tenant as deemed appropriate by Landlord. Neither the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by the Affiliated Entities, nor the payment of any Rent directly by the Affiliated Entities shall be deemed to create a landlord and tenant relationship between Landlord and the Affiliated Entities, and, in all instances, Tenant shall be considered the sole tenant under the Lease. As used herein, an entity shall be deemed to be an Affiliated Entity of Tenant if such entity controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant.

 

11.02                 If Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be assigned in violation of the provisions of this Article 11, such assignment shall be invalid and of no force or effect against Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may collect an amount equal to the then Base Rent plus any other item of Rent from the assignee as a fee for its use and occupancy. If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet to, or occupied by, or used by, any person other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Article 11, Landlord, after default by Tenant under this Lease, may collect any item of Rent or other sums paid by the subtenant, user or occupant as a fee for its use and occupancy, and shall apply the net amount collected to the Base Rent and the items of Rent reserved in this Lease. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy, or use, whether with or without Landlord’s prior consent, nor any such collection or application of Rent or fee for use and occupancy, shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee, subtenant, occupant or user as Tenant hereunder, nor shall the same, in any circumstances, relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, subletting, occupancy or use shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to obtain the express prior consent of Landlord to any further assignment, subletting, occupancy or use. Any person to which this Lease is assigned with Landlord’s consent shall be deemed without more to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease from and after the date of such assignment and shall execute and deliver to Landlord, upon demand, an instrument confirming such assumption. Notwithstanding and subsequent to any assignment, Tenant’s primary liability hereunder shall continue notwithstanding (a) any subsequent amendment hereof, or (b) Landlord’s forbearance in enforcing against Tenant any obligation or liability, without notice to Tenant, to each of which Tenant hereby consents in advance.

 

11.03                 (a)                                 For purposes of this Article 11, (i) the transfer of a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, or of a corporate subtenant, or the transfer of a majority of the total interest in any partnership tenant or subtenant, or the transfer of control in any general or limited liability partnership tenant or subtenant, or the transfer of a majority of the issued and outstanding membership interests in a limited liability company tenant or subtenant, however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions, involving the tenant, subtenant and/or its parent (including, without limitation, and by way of example only, the transfer of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of a company, which company owns 100% of a second tier company, which in turn owns 51% of the outstanding capital stock of a corporate tenant hereunder), shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease, or of such sublease, as the case may be, except that the transfer of the outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, subtenant or parent, shall be deemed not to include the sale of such stock by persons or parties, other than those deemed “affiliates” of Tenant within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, through the “over-the-counter market” or through any recognized stock exchange, (ii) any increase in the amount of issued and/or outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, or of a corporate subtenant, or such tenant’s or subtenant’s parent, or of the issued and outstanding membership interests in a limited liability company tenant or subtenant, or such tenant’s or subtenant’s parent,

 

12

 

and/or the creation of one or more additional classes of capital stock of any corporate tenant or any corporate subtenant, or such tenant’s or subtenant’s parent, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions involving the tenant, subtenant and/or its parent, resulting in a change in the legal or beneficial ownership of such tenant, subtenant or parent so that the shareholders or members of such tenant, subtenant or parent existing immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions shall no longer own a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock or membership interests of such entity, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease, (iii) an agreement by any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, to assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall be deemed an assignment, (iv) any person or legal representative of Tenant, to whom Tenant’s interest under this Lease passes by operation of law, or otherwise, shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 11, (v) a modification, amendment or extension of a sublease shall be deemed a sublease, and (vi) the change or conversion of Tenant from an entity in which the partners or members have personal liability to a limited liability company, a limited liability partnership or any other entity which possesses the characteristics of limited liability shall be deemed an assignment. Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord on request at any time such information and assurances as Landlord may reasonably request that neither Tenant, nor any previously permitted subtenant, has violated the provisions of this Article 11.

 

(b)                                 The provisions of clauses (a), (c) and (d) of Section 11.01, Section 11.04, Section 11.05 and Section 11.06 shall not apply to, and Landlord’s consent shall not be required with respect to transactions with a Related Entity (as hereinafter defined), provided such related entity has a net worth at least equal to or in excess of the net worth of Tenant as of the date of this Lease or as of the date immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, whichever is greater. As used herein, “Related Entity” means (i) a corporation or limited liability company into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or with a person or entity to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred, (ii) if Tenant is a general, limited or limited liability partnership, transactions with a successor partnership, or (iii) an entity that controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant. Tenant shall notify Landlord before any such transaction is consummated.

 

(c)                                  The term “control” as used in this Lease (i) in the case of a corporation shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the outstanding capital stock of that corporation, (ii) in the case of a general or limited liability partnership, shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the general partnership or membership interests of the partnership, (iii) in the case of a limited partnership, shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the general partnership interests of such limited partnership, and (iv) in the case of a limited liability company, shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the membership interests of such limited liability company.

 

11.04                 (a)                                 In the event that Landlord shall not exercise its rights pursuant to paragraph (b)(x) or (y) of this Section 11.04, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to a proposed subletting of the Premises, or an assignment of this Lease, provided that in each such instance, the following requirements shall have been satisfied (if Tenant proposes a partial sublet, references in this Section 11.04 to the Premises shall, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to such portion):

 

(1)                                 in the case of a proposed subletting, the listing or advertising for subletting of the Premises shall not have included a proposed rental rate, provided, however, that Tenant may quote in writing directly to prospective subtenants the proposed rental rate;

 

(2)                                 no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 

(3)                                 the proposed subtenant or assignee shall have a financial standing, be engaged in a business, and propose to use the Premises in a manner in keeping with the standards in such respects of the other tenancies in the Building;

 

(4)                                 the proposed subtenant or assignee shall not be (x) a person or entity with whom Landlord is then negotiating or discussing the leasing of comparable space in the Building or in One Stamford Plaza owned by an affiliate of Landlord; or (y) a tenant in or occupant of the Building or in One Stamford Plaza owned by an affiliate of Landlord or any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by, controls or is under common control with any such tenant or occupant;

 

13

 

(5)                                 any subletting shall be expressly subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed under this Lease and any assignment or subletting shall be subject to the further condition and restriction that this Lease or the sublease shall not be further assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred or the subleased premises further sublet by the subtenant in whole or in part, or any part thereof suffered or permitted by the assignee or subtenant to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, and if Landlord shall consent to any further subletting by the subtenant or the assignment of the sublease, Sections 11.05 and 11.06 of this Lease shall apply to any such transactions as if the further subletting or assignment of the sublease were a proposed subletting or assignment being made by Tenant under this Lease so that Landlord shall be entitled to receive all amounts described in such sections;

 

(6)                                 no subletting shall be for less than one-half of the Premises and shall be regular in shape and at no time shall there be more than two (2) occupants, including Tenant, in the Premises, all of whom shall have direct access through existing public corridors to elevators, fire stairs and core rest rooms;

 

(7)                                 Tenant shall, at the time Tenant delivers to Landlord an executed assignment or sublease (as applicable), deliver to Landlord $2,500 as reimbursement for Landlord’s administrative costs and fees in connection with each assignment or sublease, as the case may be;

 

(8)                                 any sublease shall expressly provide that in the event of termination, 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 Landlord shall not be (i) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) subject to any offset that theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s rent unless previously approved by Landlord, (iv) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete or make payment to or on behalf of a subtenant with respect to any construction of the Premises or any portion thereof demised by such sublease, and/or (v) bound by any obligations to make any other payment to or on behalf of the subtenant, except for ordinary services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease to be performed after the date of such termination, reentry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease and which Landlord is required to perform hereunder with respect to the subleased space at Landlord’s expense;

 

(9)                                 The nature of the occupancy of the proposed assignee or subtenant will not cause an excessive density of employees or traffic or make excessive demands on the Base Building or present a greater security risk to the Building than is presented by Tenant;

 

(10)                          The nature of the occupancy, the use and the manner of use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee shall not impose on Landlord any requirements of the ADA in excess of those requirements imposed on Landlord in the absence of such proposed subtenant or assignee or such occupancy, use or manner of use, unless such proposed subtenant or assignee shall have agreed to comply with each of such excess requirements at such subtenant’s or assignee’s cost and expense and, at Landlord’s option, shall have furnished Landlord with such security as Landlord may require to assure that such subtenant or assignee shall so comply; and

 

(11)                          Landlord and Tenant shall have agreed on the computation required under Section 11.05 or Section 11.06, as applicable.

 

(b)                                 Upon obtaining a proposed assignee or subtenant, upon terms satisfactory to Tenant, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing (the following documents and information being collectively referred to as the “Sublease or Assignment Statement”): (i) the name and business address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) the nature and character of the business and credit of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (iii) an original counterpart of the executed assignment or sublease and all related agreements, the effective or commencement date of which shall be at least 45 days after the date Tenant’s notice to Landlord is given; (iv) current financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant, including, without

 

14

 

limitation, its most recent financial statements, certified by an independent certified public accountant (“CPA”) if such financial statements are certified by a CPA (or, if not, certified by the chief financial officer of the proposed assignee or subtenant as being true and correct) and (v) any other information that Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have the following rights, exercisable within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Sublease or Assignment Statement (including any additional information reasonably requested by Landlord): (x) in the case of an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of the entire Premises, to terminate this Lease or to take an assignment of this Lease from Tenant or (y) in the case of a subletting of a portion of the Premises, to terminate this Lease with respect only to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet or (z) to approve or disapprove the proposed assignment or sublease in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.04 (a). If Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant within said thirty (30) day period of Landlord’s intention to exercise its rights pursuant to clauses (x) or (y) of this Section 11.04(b), or to have approved or disapproved the transaction, Landlord shall be deemed to have not exercised its right to terminate or take an assignment of this Lease and shall be deemed to have disapproved such transaction. If pursuant to the exercise of any of Landlord’s options pursuant to this Section 11.04, this Lease is terminated as to only a portion of the Premises, then the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be adjusted in proportion to the portion of the Premises affected by such termination. If Tenant fails to enter into a binding sublease or assignment within ninety (90) days after delivery of the Sublease or Assignment statement, then Tenant shall notify Landlord of same and Landlord shall again have the options set forth in this Section 11.04(b).

 

(c)                                  The failure by Landlord to exercise its option under Section 11.04(b)(x) or (y) with respect to any subletting or assignment shall not be deemed a waiver of such option with respect to any extension of such subletting or assignment or any subsequent subletting or assignment.

 

11.05                 If Tenant sublets all or any portion of the Premises to a person or entity in a transaction for which Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord shall be entitled to and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent (the “Sublease Additional Rent”), fifty percent (50%) of any and all rents, additional charges and other consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant in excess of the Base Rent and Additional Rent accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (at the rate per square foot payable by Tenant under this Lease) pursuant to the terms of this Lease (including, but not limited to, sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property and Alterations less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant’s federal income tax or federal information returns) and less the actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease on account of brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, legal fees, free rent, work contributions and the cost of work performed by Tenant to prepare the Premises for the subtenant’s occupancy, all amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease. Such Sublease Additional Rent shall be payable as and when received by Tenant.

 

11.06                 If Tenant shall assign this Lease to a person or entity in a transaction for which Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord shall be entitled to and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment (including, but not limited to, sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property and Alterations less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant’s federal income tax or federal information returns) and less the actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment on account of brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, legal fees, work contributions and the cost of work performed by Tenant to prepare the Premises for the assignee’s occupancy. Such Additional Rent shall be payable as and when received by Tenant from the assignee.

 

12.                               Liens.

 

Tenant shall not permit mechanics’ or other liens to be placed upon the Property, Premises or Tenant’s leasehold interest in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for the benefit of Tenant or its transferees. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises to afford Landlord the opportunity, where applicable, to post and record notices of non-responsibility. Tenant, within thirty (30) days of notice from Landlord, shall fully discharge any lien by

 

15

 

settlement, by bonding or by insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law and, if Tenant fails to do so, Tenant shall be deemed in Default under this Lease and, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord as a result of such Default by Tenant, Landlord, at its option, may bond, insure over or otherwise discharge the lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with Tenant breach of its obligations hereunder and/or bonding, insuring over or otherwise discharging the lien.

 

13.                               Indemnity and Waiver of Claims.

 

Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties (defined below), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties harmless against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees (if and to the extent permitted by Law) (collectively referred to as “Losses”), which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord and/or any of the Landlord Related Parties and arising out of or in connection with: (a) any damage or injury occurring in the Premises, and/or (b) any acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties (defined below) and/or any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors or licensees, and/or (c) any breaches by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for Losses resulting from a breach by Tenant under Section 5.03 (Hazardous Materials) and Section 22 (Holding Over) of this Lease, Tenant shall not be liable for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages resulting from any breaches by Tenant of its obligations under the Lease. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents (“Tenant Related Parties”) harmless against and from all Losses which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Tenant or any of the Tenant Related Parties by any third party and arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties. Tenant hereby waives all claims against and releases Landlord and its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, Mortgagees (defined in Section 23) and agents (the “Landlord Related Parties”) from all claims for any injury to or death of persons, damage to property or business loss in any manner related to (a) Force Majeure, (b) acts of third parties, (c) the bursting or leaking of any tank, water closet, drain or other pipe, (d) the inadequacy or failure of any security or protective services, personnel or equipment, or (e) any matter not within the reasonable control of Landlord.

 

14.                               Insurance.

 

Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall procure and continue in full force during the Term of this Lease (as the same may be extended) (including any period prior to the Commencement Date of the Term of this Lease during which Tenant is engaged in any alterations or repairs to the Premises or has otherwise entered upon the Premises to install fixtures or furnishings or for any purpose) such insurances as will protect Tenant, Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, partners, agents and employees from claims under workers’ compensation acts and other employee benefits acts, from claims for injury to persons or damage to property, which may arise out of or result from operations under this Lease, whether by Tenant or anyone directly or indirectly employed by it, or anyone for whose acts it may be liable, for not less than the limits of liability prescribed in subparagraphs below, or as required by law, whichever is greater:

 

(a)                                 Commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Premises and the business operated by Tenant (the business operated by Tenant includes, but is not limited to, any activities conducted or services provided at the Premises by any subtenants, licensees, concessionaires or vendors of Tenant), including coverage for bodily injury, personal injury and death, property damage and contractual liability (including “Insured Contracts”) recognizing provisions of this Lease, written on an occurrence form with limits of not less than One Million ($1,000,000.00) Dollars for each occurrence and Two Million ($2,000,000.00) Dollars general aggregate per location.

 

(b)                                 Intentionally Omitted.

 

16

 

(c)                                  Excess (umbrella) liability insurance for not less than Five Million ($5,000,000.00) Dollars for each occurrence and Five Million ($5,000,000.00) Dollars annually in the aggregate.

 

(d)                                 Workers’ compensation and occupational disease insurance, employee benefit insurance and any other insurance in the statutory amounts required by the laws of the state in which the Building is located, with broad form all-states endorsement; and (ii) employer’s liability insurance with a limit of One Million ($1,000,000.00) Dollars for each accident.

 

(e)                                  “All Risk” insurance against fire with extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief and all risk endorsements (Special Form), including terrorism, in an amount adequate to cover the full replacement value of all trade fixtures, fittings, installations, decorations, improvements, Alterations, betterments, furnishings, contents and signs, plate glass for all plate glass at the Premises and any other personal property in or on the Premises in the event of fire or other casualty.

 

(f)                                   Business interruption insurance fully compensating for the amount of charges and additional rent owed to Landlord by Tenant for a period of not less than twelve (12) months. The coverage will be “All Risk” as stated in the above paragraph (e).

 

Such insurance shall be written by one or more insurance companies authorized to issue such in the State of Connecticut and which have an “A.M. Best” rating of “A-VIII” or better, or an equivalent rating by another recognized rating organization acceptable to Landlord. There shall be delivered to Landlord a certificate or certificates of each such insurance and of all renewals and replacements thereof with proof satisfactory to Landlord or payment of premiums therefor. All such policies (i) shall name Landlord, and its managing agent as additional insureds and any other party reasonably requested by Landlord; (ii) shall contain a provision that they may not be cancelled or amended without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord; (iii) shall be procured and maintained at the sole cost and expense of Tenant; and (iv) shall be primary and non-contributing. In the event that Tenant fails to procure or maintain any insurance pursuant to this Section, Landlord may but is not obligated to obtain same on behalf of Tenant and any premiums paid by Landlord therefor shall be deemed Additional Rent to be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand therefor.

 

Landlord shall carry and maintain throughout the Term, comprehensive “all-risk” fire and casualty insurance covering the Building and comprehensive general liability insurance coverage in amounts held by reasonably prudent commercial landlords of comparable first-class office properties in Stamford, Connecticut.

 

15.                               Waiver of Claims and Subrogation.

 

Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions and causes of action against the other for any loss or damage with respect to Tenant’s Property, Leasehold Improvements, Alterations, the Building, the Premises, or any contents thereof, including rights, claims, actions and causes of action based on negligence, which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been carried) covered by insurance. For the purposes of this waiver, any deductible with respect to a party’s insurance shall be deemed covered by and recoverable by such party under valid and collectable policies of insurance. Landlord and Tenant shall procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any fire or extended coverage insurance covering the Tenant’s Property, Leasehold Improvements, Alterations, the Building, the Premises, or any contents thereof, pursuant to which the insurer waives subrogation, or consents to a waiver of right of recovery.

 

16.                               Casualty Damage.

 

16.01                 If all or any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable by fire or other casualty to the Premises (collectively a “Casualty”), Landlord, with reasonable promptness, shall cause a general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant with a written estimate of the amount of time required using standard working methods to Substantially Complete the repair and restoration of the Premises and any Common Areas necessary to provide

 

17

 

access to the Premises (“Completion Estimate”). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises or any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises cannot be made tenantable within one year from the date the repair is started, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other within 10 days after receipt of the Completion Estimate. Tenant, however, shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the Casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties. In addition, Landlord, by notice to Tenant within 90 days after the date of the Casualty, shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Premises have been materially damaged and there is less than two (2) years of the Term remaining on the date of the Casualty; (2) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; (3) a material uninsured loss to the Building or Premises occurs or (4) such portion of the Building has been so damaged so that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord’s opinion, be required.

 

16.02                 If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control and to the extent of insurance proceeds received by Landlord, restore the Premises and Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Law or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, and Landlord shall have no obligation to restore Tenant’s Property or any Alterations or any other improvements that Tenant is required to insure hereunder. Within thirty (30) days of demand, Tenant shall also pay Landlord for any additional excess costs that are determined for improvements requested by Tenant during the performance of the repairs. In no event shall Landlord be required to spend more for the restoration than the proceeds received by Landlord, whether insurance proceeds or proceeds from Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the Casualty or the repair thereof. Provided that Tenant is not in Default, during any period of time that all or a material portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable as a result of a Casualty, the Rent shall abate for the portion of the Premises that is untenantable and not used by Tenant.

 

17.                               Condemnation.

 

Either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building or Property which would have a material adverse effect on Landlord’s ability to profitably operate the remainder of the Building. The terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other party within forty-five (45) days after it first receives notice of the Taking. The termination shall be effective as of the effective date of any order granting possession to, or vesting legal title in, the condemning authority. If this Lease is not terminated, Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Building or Premises. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord. The right to receive compensation or proceeds are expressly waived by Tenant, however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s Property and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of Landlord’s award. If only a part of the Premises is subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to the condition immediately prior to the Taking; provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation to restore Tenant’s Property or any Alterations or any other improvements that Tenant is required to insure hereunder.

 

18.                               Events of Default.

 

In addition to any other default specifically described in this Lease, each of the following occurrences shall be a “Default”: (a) Tenant’s failure to pay any portion of Rent when due, if the failure continues for three (3) days after written notice to Tenant (“Monetary Default”), provided however, notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a Default for Tenant’s failure to pay non-regularly recurring payments of Additional Rent when due unless such failure continues for ten (10) Business Days after written notice to Tenant (b) Tenant’s failure (other than a Monetary Default) to comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Lease, if the failure is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice to Tenant provided, however, if Tenant’s

 

18

 

failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within 20 days, Tenant shall be allowed additional time (not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days) as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as Tenant begins the cure within twenty (20) days and diligently pursues the cure to completion; (c) Tenant permits a Transfer without Landlord’s required approval or otherwise in violation of Article 11 of this Lease; (d) Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when due or forfeits or loses its right to conduct business; (e) Tenant’s leasehold estate is taken by process or operation of Law; (f) in the case of any ground floor or retail Tenant, Tenant does not take possession of or abandons or vacates all or any portion of the Premises; or (g) if any case, proceeding or other action is commenced or instituted against Tenant (i) seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor or to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors; or (ii) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property. If Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Tenant’s failure to comply with any specific provision of this Lease on three (3) separate occasions during any twelve (12) month period, Tenant’s subsequent violation of such provision shall, at Landlord’s option, be an incurable Default by Tenant. All notices sent under this Section shall be in satisfaction of, and not in addition to, notice required by Law.

 

19.                               Remedies.

 

19.01                 Upon Default, Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

 

(a)                                 Terminate this Lease, in which case Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord, in compliance with Law, may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant, Tenant’s Property and any party occupying the Premises. Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, all past due Rent and other losses and damages Landlord suffers as a result of Tenant’s Default, including, without limitation, all Costs of Reletting (defined below) and any deficiency that may arise from reletting or the failure to relet the Premises. “Costs of Reletting” shall include all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting or attempting to relet the Premises, including, without limitation, legal fees, brokerage commissions, the cost of alterations and the value of other concessions or allowances granted to a new tenant.

 

(b)                                 Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and, in compliance with Law, remove Tenant, Tenant’s Property and any parties occupying the Premises. Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) relet all or any part of the Premises, without notice to Tenant, for such period of time and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions, free rent and work allowances) as Landlord in its absolute discretion shall determine. Landlord may collect and receive all rents and other income from the reletting. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand all past due Rent, all Costs of Reletting and any deficiency arising from the reletting or failure to relet the Premises. The re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises shall not be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease. Upon a Default by Tenant, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages, provided that such commercially reasonable efforts shall not require Landlord to relet the Premises in preferences to any other space in the Building or to relet the Premises to any party that Landlord could reasonably reject as a transferee pursuant to Article 11 of this Lease.

 

19.02                 In lieu of calculating damages under Section 19.01, Landlord may elect to receive as damages the sum of (a) all Rent accrued through the date of termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, and (b) an amount equal to the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of the Term discounted to present value at the Prime Rate (defined below) then in effect, minus the then present fair rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Term, similarly discounted, after deducting all anticipated Costs of Reletting. “Prime Rate” shall be the per annum interest rate publicly announced as its prime or base rate by a federally insured bank selected by Landlord in the state in which the Building is located.

 

19.03                 If Tenant is in Default of any of its non-monetary obligations under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and/or cure periods, Landlord shall have the right to perform such obligations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such performance upon demand

 

19

 

together with an administrative charge equal to ten (10%) of the cost of the work performed by Landlord. The repossession or re-entering of all or any part of the Premises shall not relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease. No right or remedy of Landlord shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right and remedy now or subsequently available to Landlord at Law or in equity.

 

20.                               Limitation of Liability.

 

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING RENTAL INCOME, SALES AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS THEREFROM). TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY BE LIABLE TO TENANT FOR ANY LOST PROFIT, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANY FORM OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES (DEFINED IN SECTION 23 BELOW), NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT.

 

21.                               Relocation.

 

Intentionally Omitted.

 

22.                               Holding Over.

 

If Tenant fails to surrender all or any part of the Premises at the termination of this Lease, occupancy of the Premises after termination shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant’s occupancy shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to the greater of (i) two hundred percent (200%) of the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the monthly period immediately preceding the holdover, and (ii) the then fair market rental value of the Premises, as determined by Landlord. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant or to perform improvements for a new tenant as a result of Tenant’s holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord, Tenant shall be liable for all damages that Landlord suffers from the holdover, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such delay, any payment or rent concession which Landlord may be required to make to such tenant to induce such tenant not to terminate its lease by reason of the holding over by Tenant, and the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any such tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of such holding over by Tenant.

 

23.                               Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate.

 

Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Upon request, Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Any such attornment shall be made upon the condition that no such Mortgagee shall be (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord); or (b) subject to any defense or offsets (except as expressly set forth in this Lease) which Tenant may have against any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the

then defaulting landlord); or (c) bound by any payment of Rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord); or (d) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made by the prior landlord hereunder; or (e) bound by any obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Premises except for (i) repairs and maintenance pursuant to the provisions of Article 9, (ii) repairs to the Premises or any part thereof as a result of damage by fire or other casualty pursuant to Article 16, but only to the extent that such repairs can be reasonably made from the net proceeds of any insurance actually made available to such Mortgagee and (iii) repairs to the Premises as a result of a partial condemnation pursuant to Article 17, but only to the extent that such repairs can be reasonably made from the net proceeds of any award made available to such Mortgagee. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) from Landlord’s current Mortgagee on Mortgagee’s current standard form of agreement. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable.

 

24.                               Notice.

 

24.01                 All demands, approvals, consents and notices (collectively referred to as a “notice”) shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested or sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier service at the party’s respective Notice Address(es) set forth in Article 1. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received on the earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused, or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or any other Notice Address of Tenant without providing a new Notice Address, three (3) days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a courier service in the manner described above. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice Address (other than to a post office box address) by giving the other party written notice of the new address. Notice given by counsel for either party on behalf of such party or by Landlord’s managing agent on behalf of Landlord shall be deemed valid notices if addressed and sent in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

 

24.02                 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 24.01, (i) Notices requesting services for overtime periods may be given by delivery to the Building superintendent or any other person in the Building designated by Landlord to receive such notices, and (ii) Landlord statements for Taxes and Expenses and bills may be rendered by delivering them to Tenant at the Premises without the necessity of a receipt, and without providing a copy of such Landlord statements or bills to any other party.

 

25.                               Surrender of Premises.

 

Upon the Expiration Date or termination of Tenant’s right to possession to the Premises, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Property and Required Removables from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage which Landlord is obligated to repair hereunder excepted. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant’s Property within two (2) days after termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store Tenant’s Property. Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the expenses and storage charges incurred. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises or storage, within 30 days after notice, Landlord may deem all or any part of Tenant’s Property to be abandoned and title to Tenant’s Property shall vest in Landlord. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 25 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

26.                               Miscellaneous.

 

26.01                 This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Connecticut and Landlord and Tenant hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and proper venue of State of Connecticut. If any term or provision of this Lease shall to any extent be void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected. If there is more than

 

21

 

one Tenant or if Tenant is comprised of more than one party or entity, the obligations imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several obligations of all the parties and entities, and requests or demands from any one person or entity comprising Tenant shall be deemed to have been made by all such persons or entities. Notices to any one person or entity shall be deemed to have been given to all persons and entities. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so on behalf of Tenant and that Tenant is not, and the entities or individuals constituting Tenant or which may own or control Tenant or which may be owned or controlled by Tenant are not, (i) in violation of any Laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, or (ii) among the individuals or entities identified on any list compiled pursuant to Executive Order 13224 for the purpose of identifying suspected terrorists or on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/ofac/tllsdn.pdf or any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list.

 

26.02                 If either party institutes a suit against the other for violation of or to enforce any covenant, term or condition of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of all of its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any proceeding based upon a breach of this Lease. No failure by either party to declare a default immediately upon its occurrence, nor any delay by either party in taking action for a default, nor Landlord’s acceptance of Rent with knowledge of a default by Tenant, shall constitute a waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel.

 

26.03                 Whenever a period of time is prescribed for the taking of an action by Landlord or Tenant (other than the payment of Rent), the period of time for the performance of such action shall be extended by the number of days that the performance is actually delayed due to strikes, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, terrorist acts, civil disturbances and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the performing party (“Force Majeure”).

 

26.04                 Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all of its rights and obligations under this Lease and in the Building and Property. Upon transfer Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder and Tenant agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations, provided that, any successor pursuant to a voluntary, third party transfer (but not as part of an involuntary transfer resulting from a foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof) shall have assumed Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.

 

26.05                 Landlord has delivered a copy of this Lease to Tenant for Tenant’s review only and the delivery of it does not constitute an offer to Tenant or an option. Tenant represents that it has dealt directly with and only with the Broker as a broker in connection with this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties harmless from Tenant’s breach of the foregoing representation.

 

26.06                 Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of any expansion, renewal or extension rights granted to Tenant. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any expansion rights (whether such rights are described as an expansion option, right of first refusal, right of first offer or otherwise) described herein, in any exhibit hereto or any amendment or modification hereto, shall automatically expire and be deemed of no further force or effect immediately following any reduction, contraction or surrender by Tenant of any portion of the Premises. The expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time, termination or otherwise, shall not relieve either party of any obligations which accrued prior to or which may continue to accrue after the expiration or termination of this Lease.

 

26.07                 Tenant may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises, subject to the terms of this Lease, provided Tenant pays the Rent and fully performs all of its covenants and agreements. This covenant shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Building.

 

26.08                 This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the Property or the Building. Landlord excepts and reserves exclusively to itself any and all rights not specifically granted to Tenant under this Lease. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings related to the Premises, including all lease proposals, letters of intent and other documents. Neither party is

 

22

 

relying upon any warranty, statement or representation not contained in this Lease. This Lease may be modified only by a written agreement signed by an authorized representative of Landlord and Tenant.

 

26.09                 Neither this Lease nor any memorandum of this Lease shall be recorded.

 

26.10                 Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Lease, any consent or approval required to be obtained from Landlord may be granted by Landlord in its sole discretion. In any instance in which Landlord agrees not to act unreasonably, Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages against or liability of Landlord that Tenant may have based upon any assertion that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval requested by Tenant, and Tenant agrees that its sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any related provision or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment. If with respect to any required consent or approval Landlord is required by the express provisions of this Lease not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent or approval, and if it is determined in any such proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence that Landlord acted unreasonably, the requested consent or approval shall be deemed to have been granted; however, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant for its refusal or failure to give such consent or approval. Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s unreasonably withholding or delaying consent or approval shall be as provided in this Section 26.10.

 

26.11                 From and after the date of this Lease, Tenant and Tenant Related Parties shall maintain the terms and conditions of this Lease confidential and, without Landlord’s prior written consent, shall neither discuss nor disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease with any tenant or occupant of the Building or with any other person, other than (i) the Broker, (ii) the attorneys who are representing Tenant in connection with this Lease, (iii) Tenant’s accountants and (iv) any proposed subtenant of the Premises or assignee of this Lease and only if and to the extent such other parties listed in clauses (i) to (iv) inclusive are informed by Tenant of the confidential nature of this Lease and shall agree to act in accordance with the provisions of this Section, or (v) if required to do so to enforce the terms of this Lease, or as may otherwise be required to be disclosed by law (including without limitation any disclosures required by securities acts or any required disclosures from public companies) and, if disclosure is required by law, Tenant shall only disclose those terms required by law or judicial process; provided that, if Tenant is required or requested by legal process to disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with prompt notice of such requirement or request and unless Landlord waives the confidentiality requirements of this Lease, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in obtaining an appropriate protective order regarding such disclosure. Tenant acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section will cause irreparable injury and damage to Landlord, and, therefore, agrees that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to an injunction and/or other equitable relief (without the requirement of posting a bond or other security) as a remedy for a breach or threatened breach of this section and to secure its enforcement.

 

26.12                 Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that this Lease constitutes a commercial transaction, as such term is used and defined in Section 52-278a of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended, and Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to any notice to or to any hearing provided and set forth in Chapter 903A, as amended.

EXPENSES AND TAXES

 

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between ONE STAMFORD PLAZA OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and LOXO ONCOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 281 Tresser Boulevard, Stamford, Connecticut.

 

1.                                      Payments.

 

1.01                        Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which Expenses (defined below) for each calendar year during the Term exceed Expenses for the Base Year (the “Expense Excess”) and also the amount, if any, by which Taxes (defined below) for each calendar year during the Term exceed Taxes for the Base Year (the “Tax Excess”). If Expenses or Taxes in any calendar year decrease below the amount of Expenses or Taxes for the Base Year, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses or Taxes, as the case may be, for that calendar year shall be $0. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Expense Excess and of the Tax Excess for each calendar year during the Term. On or before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of both the Expense Excess and Tax Excess. After its receipt of the revised estimate, Tenant’s monthly payments shall be based upon the revised estimate. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Expense Excess or the Tax Excess by January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate(s) until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate.

 

1.02                        As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Expenses and Expense Excess and the actual Taxes and Tax Excess for the prior calendar year. If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year is more than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be, for the prior calendar year, Landlord shall either provide Tenant with a refund or apply any overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year is less than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be, for such prior year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days after its receipt of the statement of Expenses or Taxes, any underpayment for the prior calendar year. Landlord’s failure to render any Landlord’s statement with respect to any year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a Landlord’s statement with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent year, as the case may be, nor shall the rendering of a Landlord’s statement prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a corrected Landlord’s statement for that year. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord agrees that the Expense Excess for the Premises for each year after calendar year 2016 shall be capped at a maximum increase amount per year of five percent (5%) of controllable expenses. There shall be no cap to the increase amount per year of the Tax Excess.

 

2.                                      Expenses.

 

2.01                        “Expenses” means all costs and expenses incurred in each calendar year in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing, replacing, cleaning and managing the Property, including, without limitation, the Building. Expenses include, without limitation: (a) all labor and labor related costs, including wages, salaries, bonuses, taxes, insurance, uniforms, training, retirement plans, pension plans and other employee benefits; (b) customary management fees; (c) the cost of equipping, staffing and operating an on-site and/or off-site management office for the Building, provided if the management office services one or more other buildings or properties, the shared costs and expenses of equipping, staffing and operating such management office(s) shall be equitably prorated and apportioned between the Building and the other buildings or properties; (d) accounting costs; (e) the cost of repairs, maintenance and services; (f) rental and purchase cost of parts, supplies, tools and equipment; (g) insurance

 

B-1

 

premiums and deductibles; (h) electricity, gas, oil, steam, water and other utility costs; and (i) the amortized cost of capital improvements (as distinguished from replacement parts or components installed in the ordinary course of business) made subsequent to the Base Year which are: (1) performed primarily to upgrade Building security, reduce current or future operating expense costs or otherwise improve the operating efficiency of the Property; or (2) required to comply with any Laws that are enacted, or first interpreted to apply to the Property, after the date of the Lease; or (3) in lieu of a repair. The cost of capital improvements shall be amortized by Landlord over the lesser of the Payback Period (defined below) or the useful life of the capital improvement as reasonably determined by Landlord. The amortized cost of capital improvements may, at Landlord’s option, include actual or imputed interest at the rate that Landlord would reasonably be required to pay to finance the cost of the capital improvement. “Payback Period” means the reasonably estimated period of time that it takes for the cost savings resulting from a capital improvement to equal the total cost of the capital improvement. Landlord, by itself or through an affiliate, shall have the right to directly perform, provide and be compensated for any services under the Lease which compensation shall be generally consistent with industry standard charges for such services. If Landlord incurs Expenses for the Building or Property together with one or more other buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be equitably prorated and apportioned between the Building and Property and the other buildings or properties.

 

2.02                        Expenses shall not include: the cost of capital improvements (except as set forth above); depreciation; principal payments of mortgage and other non-operating debts of Landlord; the cost of repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds; costs in connection with leasing space in the Building, including brokerage commissions, lease concessions, rental abatements and construction allowances granted to specific tenants; costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing or refinancing of the Building; fines, interest and penalties incurred due to the late payment of Taxes or Expenses; organizational expenses associated with the creation and operation of the entity which constitutes Landlord; or any penalties or damages that Landlord pays to Tenant under the Lease or to other tenants in the Building under their respective leases.

 

2.03                        If at any time during a calendar year the Building is not at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied or Landlord is not supplying services to at least 95% of the total Rentable Square Footage of the Building, Taxes and Expenses shall, at Landlord’s option, be determined as if the Building had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Square Footage of the Building. If Taxes or Expenses for a calendar year are determined as provided in the prior sentence, Taxes or Expenses, as the case may be, for the Base Year shall also be determined in such manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may calculate the extrapolation of Taxes or Expenses under this Section based on one hundred percent (100%) occupancy and service so long as such percentage is used consistently for each year of the Term (including the Base Year). The extrapolation of Taxes or Expenses under this Section shall be performed in accordance with the methodology specified by the Building Owners and Managers Association.

 

3.                                      Taxes.

 

3.01                        “Taxes” mean: (a) all real property taxes and other assessments on the Building and Property, including, but not limited to, gross receipts taxes, assessments for special improvement districts and building improvement districts, governmental charges, fees and assessments for police, fire, traffic mitigation and other governmental services of purported benefit to the Property, taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole or in part of any such taxes and assessments and the Property’s share of any real estate taxes and assessments under any reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or similar agreement as to the Property; (b) all personal property taxes for property that is owned by Landlord and used in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Property; and (c) all costs and fees incurred in connection with seeking reductions in any tax liabilities described in (a) and (b), including, without limitation, any costs incurred by Landlord for compliance, review and appeal of tax liabilities. Taxes shall not include any income, capital levy, transfer, capital stock, gift, estate or inheritance tax. If a change in Taxes is obtained for any year of the Term during which Tenant paid Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any Tax Excess, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment or Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any deficiency.

 

B-2

 

Likewise, if a change is obtained for Taxes for the Base Year, Taxes for the Base Year shall be restated and the Tax Excess for all subsequent years shall be recomputed; provided, that in no event shall any abatement or other tax credit be applicable to the calculation of Taxes for the Base Year. Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any such increase in the Tax Excess within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of a statement from Landlord.

 

4.                                      Audit Rights.

 

4.01                        Tenant, within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s statement of Expenses, may give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Expenses for the calendar year to which the statement applies and specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the respects in which Landlord’s statement is disputed. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the management office for the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Property is located and which is not being compensated by Tenant, in whole or in part, on a contingency basis. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Within ninety (90) days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the ninety (90) day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the ninety (90) day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Expenses and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within thirty (30) days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s audit rights contained herein are subject to Tenant and its applicable agents first executing and delivering to Landlord Landlord’s standard confidentiality agreement, which provides that any records and information gathered and/or reviewed by Tenant and/or its agents shall be treated as strictly confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due.

WORK LETTER

 

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between ONE STAMFORD PLAZA OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and LOXO ONCOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 281 Tresser Boulevard, Stamford, Connecticut.

Landlord shall perform improvements to the Premises in accordance with the approved plans prepared by MAF Architects, dated September 28, 2015, together with the additional work described on and attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 (collectively, the “Plans”). The improvements to be performed by Landlord in accordance with the Plans are hereinafter referred to as “Landlord’s Work.” It is agreed that construction of Landlord’s Work will be completed at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (subject to the terms of Section 2 below) using Building Standard methods, materials and finishes. Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for Landlord’s Work with a general contractor selected by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to select and /or approve any subcontractors used in connection with Landlord’s Work. Landlord’s supervision or performance of any work for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed a representation by Landlord that such Plans or the revisions thereto comply with applicable insurance requirements, building codes, ordinances, Laws or regulations, or that the improvements constructed in accordance with the Plans and any revisions thereto will be adequate for Tenant’s use, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with Law, functionality of design the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment).

 

2.                                      If Tenant shall request any revisions to the Plans, Landlord shall have such revisions prepared at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of preparing any such revisions to the Plans, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, upon demand. Promptly upon completion of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost in Landlord’s Work, if any, resulting from such revisions to the Plans. Tenant, within three (3) Business Days of receiving such notice, shall notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such revisions. In the absence of such written authorization, Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Premises disregarding the requested revision. Tenant shall be responsible for any Tenant Delay in completion of the Premises resulting from any revision to the Plans.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all revisions to the Plans shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord.

 

3.                                      Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in order to enable Landlord’s Work to be performed in a timely manner and with as little inconvenience to the operation of Tenant’s business as is reasonably possible. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary any delay in the completion of Landlord’s Work or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the performance of Landlord’s Work shall not delay the Commencement Date nor shall it subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of Rent or other sums payable under the Lease.

 

4.                                      This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

 

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between ONE STAMFORD PLAZA OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and LOXO ONCOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 281 Tresser Boulevard, Stamford, Connecticut.

 

1.                                      Parking.

 

1.01                (a) During the Term, Tenant agrees to lease the Parking Spaces set forth in the Basic Lease Information (collectively, the “Spaces”) in the Building garage (“Garage”) for the use of Tenant and its employees at the cost specified in the Basic Lease Information. Except as otherwise specifically stated in the Basic Lease Information, the Spaces shall be leased on an unreserved basis. No deduction or allowances shall be made for days when Tenant or any of its employees does not utilize the parking facilities or for Tenant utilizing less than all of the Spaces.

 

(b)                         The Garage is managed by a third-party operator (“Garage Operator”). Tenant, upon request of Landlord, shall enter into a parking agreement with the Garage Operator, and Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of the Garage Operator unless caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct. It is understood and agreed that the identity of the Garage Operator may change from time to time during the Term. In connection therewith, any parking lease or agreement entered into between Tenant and a Garage Operator shall be freely assignable by such Garage Operator or any successors thereto.

 

(c)                          During the Term, if Tenant desires to lease additional parking spaces, it may do so subject to availability and the terms, conditions and rates then imposed by the Garage Operator.

 

(d)                         Except for particular spaces and areas designated by Landlord for reserved parking, all parking in the Garage and surface parking areas serving the Building shall be on an unreserved, first-come, first-served basis.

 

(e)                          Landlord shall not be responsible for money, jewelry, automobiles or other personal property lost in or stolen from the Garage or the surface parking areas regardless of whether such loss or theft occurs when the Garage or other areas therein are locked or otherwise secured. Except as caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and without limiting the terms of the preceding sentence, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage to persons using the Garage or the surface parking areas or automobiles or other property therein, it being agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the use of the Spaces shall be at the sole risk of Tenant and its employees.

 

(f)                           Landlord shall have the right from time to time to designate the location of the Spaces and to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations regarding the Garage, the surface parking areas, if any, the Spaces and the use thereof, including, but not limited to, rules and regulations controlling the flow of traffic to and from various parking areas, the angle and direction of parking and the like. Tenant shall comply with and cause its employees to comply with all such rules and regulations as well as all reasonable additions and amendments thereto.

 

(g)                          Tenant shall not store or permit its employees to store any automobiles in the Garage or on the surface parking areas without the prior written consent of Landlord. Except for emergency repairs, Tenant and its employees shall not perform any work on any automobiles while located in the Garage or on the Property. If it is necessary for Tenant or its employees to leave an automobile in the Garage or on the surface parking areas overnight, Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior notice thereof designating the license plate number and model of such automobile.

 

(h)                         Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close the Garage or certain areas therein in order to perform necessary repairs, maintenance and improvements to the Garage or the surface parking areas, if any.

 

F-1

 

(i)                             Tenant shall not assign or sublease any of the Spaces without the consent of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease with respect to any Spaces that Tenant desires to sublet or assign.

 

(j)                            Landlord may elect to provide cards or keys to control access to the Garage or surface parking areas, if any. In such event, Landlord shall provide Tenant with one card or key for each Space that Tenant is leasing hereunder, provided that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant or its employees to place a deposit on such access cards or keys and to pay a fee for any lost or damaged cards or keys.

 

2.                                      Renewal Option.

 

2.01                        Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term (the “Renewal Option”) for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”), if:

 

(a)                                 Landlord receives notice of exercise (“Initial Renewal Notice”) not less than twelve (12) full calendar months prior to the expiration of the initial Term; and

 

(b)                                 Tenant is not in Default under the Lease at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice (as defined below); and

 

(c)                                  No part of the Premises is sublet (other than as permitted under the Lease) at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice; and

 

(d)           The Lease has not been assigned (other than as permitted under the Lease) prior to the date that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant delivers its Binding Notice.

 

2.02                        Terms Applicable to Premises During Renewal Term.

 

(a)                                 The initial Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the Premises during the Renewal Term shall equal the Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate per rentable square foot for the Premises. Base Rent during the Renewal Term shall increase, if at all, in accordance with the increases assumed in the determination of Prevailing Market rate. Base Rent attributable to the Premises shall be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 4 of the Lease.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall pay Additional Rent (i.e. Taxes and Expenses) for the Premises during the Renewal Term in accordance with Exhibit B of the Lease, and the manner and method in which Tenant reimburses Landlord for Tenant’s share of Taxes and Expenses and the Base Year, if any, applicable to such matter, shall be some of the factors considered in determining the Prevailing Market rate for the Renewal Term.

 

2.03                        Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market. Within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s Initial Renewal Notice, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of Landlord’s proposed applicable Base Rent rate for the Premises for the Renewal Term, which shall be based on Landlord’s good faith estimate of the annual Prevailing Market rate for the Renewal Term. Tenant, within 15 days after the date on which Landlord advises Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Renewal Term, shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written notice (“Binding Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of its Renewal Option, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, provide Landlord with written notice of rejection (the “Rejection Notice”). If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Rejection Notice within such 15 day period, Tenant’s Renewal Option shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith, for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days following the date Landlord receives the Rejection Notice (such 30-day period, the “Negotiation Period”), to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term. If Landlord and Tenant have agreed, during the Negotiation Period, upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises for the

 

F-2

 

Renew Term, such agreement shall be reflected in a written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, whether in a letter or otherwise, and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

 

In the event that Landlord and Tenant fail to mutually agree upon such Prevailing Market rate for the Premises for the Renewal Term within the Negotiation Period, Landlord and Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of such Negotiation Period, mutually appoint a Qualified Appraiser (as hereinafter defined) to determine such Prevailing Market rate. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the appointment of such Qualified Appraiser at the end of such fifteen (15) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall, within the following five (5) day period, each select a Qualified Appraiser who shall, within the following five (5) day period, designate a third Qualified Appraiser and the three Qualified Appraisers shall cooperate jointly. Within five (5) days of the date that the Qualified Appraisers are appointed, Landlord and Tenant shall each deliver its estimate of such Prevailing Market rate to the Qualified Appraisers. Within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the third Qualified Appraiser, the Qualified Appraisers shall select either the Landlord’s or the Tenant’s determination of the Prevailing Market rate and submit such determination to Landlord and Tenant in writing, which determination shall be the Base Rent for the Renewal Term. The decision of the single Qualified Appraiser or that in which at least two (2) of the three (3) Qualified Appraisers concur shall be final and binding upon the parties. The Qualified Appraiser(s) shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease and shall have no power to select an alternative position or a decision different from that proposed by either party. The determination of the Qualified Appraiser(s) shall be binding on the parties and the fees and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser(s) shall be divided equally between Landlord and Tenant.

 

An appraiser shall be a “Qualified Appraiser” only if he or she has not less than fifteen (15) years’ experience in the appraisal of real property of the type to be appraised, is a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or any successor thereto, and shall not have been employed by Landlord or Tenant or any of their affiliates in the twenty-four (24) months preceding his or her engagement hereunder. If the Term expires prior to the Qualified Appraisers’ determination, the Landlord’s estimate of Prevailing Market rate shall apply during such time period and Landlord shall credit Tenant any excess paid if the Qualified Appraisers select Tenant’s estimate of the Prevailing Market rate.

 

2.04        Renewal Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Renewal Option, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Renewal Amendment”) to reflect changes in the Base Rent, Term, Expiration Date and other appropriate business terms. The Renewal Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Binding Notice or other written agreement by Landlord and Tenant regarding the Prevailing Market rate, and Tenant shall execute and return the Renewal Amendment to Landlord within 15 days after Tenant’s receipt of same, but, upon final determination of the Prevailing Market rate applicable during the Renewal Term as described herein, an otherwise valid exercise of the Renewal Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Renewal Amendment is executed.

 

2.05        Definition of Prevailing Market. For purposes of this Renewal Option, “Prevailing Market” shall mean the arm’s length fair market annual rental rate per rentable square foot (based on the RSF of the Premises) under five (5) year renewal leases and amendments entered into on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder for space comparable to the Premises in the Building and office buildings comparable to the Building in the Stamford, Connecticut central business district area. The determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account any material economic differences between the terms of the Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the manner, if any, in which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes. The determination of Prevailing Market shall also take into consideration any reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing Market rate from the time such Prevailing Market rate is being determined and the time such Prevailing Market rate will become effective under the Lease.

 

F-3

 

3.             Termination Right.

 

3.01        Tenant shall have the one time right to terminate the Lease as of the last day of the sixty-sixth (66th) full calendar month following the expiration of the Initial Base Rent Abatement Period, provided (i) Tenant is not in default under the terms of the Lease, and (ii) Tenant provides Landlord with a minimum of twelve (12) months prior written notice of its exercise of this right. In addition, in the event Tenant exercises this termination option, Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the time Tenant notifies Landlord of the exercise of its option a sum (the “Termination Fee”) equal to the unamortized portion (using a 6% interest factor) of (i) Abated Base Rent, (ii) the cost of Landlord’s Work, and (iii) the brokerage commission and reasonable legal costs paid by Landlord on account of the Lease. As of the date hereof, Landlord estimates the Termination Fee to be $181,917.63, which is subject to change based on actual costs and expenses.

 

4.             Right of First Offer.

 

4.01        If any portion of the 9th floor of the Building contiguous to the Premises (“First Offer Space”) is or will become available during the initial Term, Landlord shall offer to lease the First Offer Space to Tenant, as set forth in a notice to Tenant which identifies the First Offer Space (“First Offer Notice”), describing the term, commencement date and all other material business terms acceptable to Landlord and Landlord shall offer to lease the First Offer Space to Tenant upon the business terms set forth in the First Offer Notice. Such terms shall represent Landlord’s good faith estimate of fair market rental terms for such First Offer Space based on comparable space in the Building.

 

(a)           Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the First Offer Notice to give to Landlord notice that Tenant (i) accepts Landlord’s offer, or (ii) rejects Landlord’s offer. Time shall be of the essence with respect to Tenant’s notice, and Tenant’s failure to give any such notice within the ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed a rejection of Landlord’s offer, any principles of law or equity to the contrary notwithstanding. A First Offer Notice may only be accepted in whole, not in part.

 

(b)           If Tenant rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, Landlord’s offer, Landlord shall be free to lease such First Offer Space to any party upon any terms and conditions that Landlord may determine from time to time during the Term, with no further obligation to Tenant under this Section with respect to such First Offer Space.

 

(c)           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall not be obligated to give a First Offer Notice, Tenant shall have no right to exercise its option to lease the First Offer Space, and any attempted exercise shall be void and of no effect, if: (i) the original named Tenant herein (i.e., LOXO Oncology, Inc.) has assigned the Lease or has at any time subleased any portion of the Premises (other than sublets to parties that do not require Landlord’s consent under the Lease); or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and such Default shall not have been cured at the time that Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give the First Offer Notice or, if such Default occurs after Tenant’s attempted exercise of its option, at the time of the proposed commencement of the lease of the First Offer Space; or (iii) the original Term shall have expired. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s Right of First Offer is subject and subordinate to the tenancies, rights and options of other parties (if any) predating this Lease.

 

(d)        This Section shall not preclude Landlord from extending a lease for an existing tenant or entering into a new lease with a then existing tenant for the First Offer Space or a portion thereof.

 

5.             Right of First Refusal.

 

5.01     Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have a continuing right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”) following its Right of First Offer with respect to any portion of the 9th floor of the Building contiguous to the Premises as such space becomes available (the “First Refusal Space”).

 

(a)           Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall be exercised as follows: At any time that Landlord receives an offer that Landlord intends to accept for all or a portion of

 

F-4

 

the First Refusal Space that is then vacant or to become vacant, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the terms of such offer (the “ROFR Notice”) and Tenant shall thereafter have seven (7) Business Days to waive or exercise its Right of First Refusal (the “Notice of Exercise”). Time shall be of the essence with respect to Tenant’s Notice of Exercise, and Tenant’s failure to give such notice within the ten Business Day period shall be deemed a rejection of Landlord’s offer, any principles of law or equity to the contrary notwithstanding. A ROFR Notice may only be accepted in whole, not in part. Should Tenant not match the terms and conditions of the proposed new lease (or if Tenant waives its Right of First Refusal or if Tenant does not timely respond to Landlord) the Landlord has a four (4) month period to execute the lease on terms substantially similar to those set forth in the ROFR Notice, after which Tenant will again have a Right of First Refusal as to such First Refusal Space. If Landlord does not enter into a lease with a third party within the above-described four (4) month period or the terms are not substantially the same terms as set forth in the ROFR Notice, Landlord shall again offer the First Refusal Space to tenant on the terms set forth in this Section 5.

 

(b)           Tenant may lease such First Refusal Space in its entirety only, under such terms, by delivering its Notice of Exercise to Landlord within the timeframe described above for responding to the ROFR Notice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Refusal and Landlord need not provide Tenant with a ROFR Notice and any attempted exercise shall be void and of no effect, if:

 

(i)            A Default shall have occurred and such Default shall not have been cured at the time that Landlord would otherwise be obligated to give the ROFR Notice or, if such Default occurs after Tenant’s attempted exercise of its Right of First Refusal, at the time of the proposed commencement of the lease of the First Refusal Space; or

 

(ii)           Any part of the Premises is sublet (other than as permitted under the Lease) at the time that Landlord would otherwise deliver the ROFR Notice; or

 

(iii)          Tenant has assigned the Lease (other than as permitted under the Lease) or has at any time subleased any portion of the Premises prior to the date that Landlord would otherwise deliver the ROFR Notice; or

 

(iv)          Tenant is not occupying the Premises on the date that Landlord would otherwise deliver the ROFR Notice; or

 

(v)           The existing tenant in the First Refusal Space is interested in extending or renewing its lease for the First Refusal Space or entering into a new lease for the First Refusal Space; or

 

(vi)          The original Term shall have expired.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s Right of First Refusal is subject and subordinate to the tenancies, rights and options of other parties (if any) predating this Lease. This section shall not preclude Landlord from extending a lease for an existing tenant or entering into a new lease with a then existing Tenant for the First Refusal space or a portion thereof.

 

5.02        Terms for First Refusal Space for Tenant’s Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)           The term for the First Refusal Space shall commence on the commencement date stated in the ROFR Notice and thereupon such First Refusal Space shall be considered part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the ROFR Notice shall govern Tenant’s leasing of the First Refusal Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict with the ROFR Notice, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply to the First Refusal Space, provided, however that the term of the lease for the First Refusal Space shall be coterminous with the existing space except that if the Expiration Date of the Lease would occur within twenty-

 

F-5

 

four (24) months prior to the expiration of the term of the lease of the First Refusal Space as set forth in the ROFR Notice, Tenant may not exercise the Right of First Refusal unless Tenant has one or more remaining Renewal Options available and concurrently exercises its Renewal Option.

 

(b)           Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for the First Refusal Space in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ROFR Notice.

 

(c)           The First Refusal Space (including improvements and personalty, if any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built configuration existing on the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of the First Refusal Space or as of the date the term for such First Refusal Space commences, unless the ROFR Notice specifies any work to be performed by Landlord in the First Refusal Space, in which case Landlord shall perform such work in the First Refusal Space. If Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the First Refusal Space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by any party, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the space, and the commencement of the term for the First Refusal Space shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of the First Refusal Space to Tenant free from occupancy by any party in the condition described in the ROFR Notice.

 

5.3          Termination of Right of First Refusal. The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the First Refusal Space and the ROFR Notice shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) twenty-four (24) months prior to the Expiration Date (unless Tenant exercises a Renewal option); (ii) Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Refusal within the time frame provided in Section 5.01 above; and (iii) the date Landlord would have provided Tenant a ROFR Notice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 above.

 

5.4          ROFR Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Right of First Refusal, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “ROFR Amendment”) adding the First Refusal Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the ROFR Notice and reflecting the changes in the Base Rent, rentable square footage of the Premises, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share and other applicable business terms. The ROFR Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise executed by Tenant and Tenant shall execute and return the ROFR Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of same, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First Refusal shall be fully effective whether or not the ROFR Amendment is executed.

 

6.             Signage. Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, shall provide Tenant with initial Building-standard signage, which signage shall consist of initial Building-standard Premises entry signage (both in the 9th floor elevator lobby and adjacent to the Premises) as well as an initial listing on the existing Building directory, if any. Tenant may upgrade suite signage at Tenant’s cost and expense, subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. Any permitted assignees or subtenants shall be entitled to such Building-standard signage, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

7.             Fitness Center Memberships. At no additional cost to Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant up to twenty-five (25) two-year memberships to the fitness center in the Building for use by Tenant’s employees.

 

8.             Temporary Space.

 

8.01        Landlord shall permit Tenant to use Suite 875 located on the 8th floor of the building owned by an affiliate of Landlord located at Four Stamford Plaza, 107 Elm Street, Stamford, Connecticut containing approximately 8,718 rentable square feet (the “Temporary Space”) from the date hereof through the Commencement Date for the Premises. All of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the Temporary Space, except that: (i) Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any allowances or abatements with respect to the Temporary Space except as expressly set forth in this Section 8.01, (ii) the Temporary Space shall be accepted by Tenant in “as is” condition and configuration without any representations or warranties by Landlord and without any obligation of Landlord to perform any of Landlord’s Work in the Temporary Space, (iii) Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent or Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Expenses pursuant to Exhibit B for the Temporary Space, (iv) Tenant shall pay a “Temporary Space Electric and Cleaning Charge” of $5.00 per RSF of the

 

F-6

 

Temporary Space on an annual basis ($43,590.00), payable in monthly installments of $3,632.50. The Temporary Space Electric and Cleaning Charge shall be pro-rated for the duration of the term of Tenant’s occupancy of the Temporary Space and shall be pro-rated for any partial month during Tenant’s occupancy of the Temporary Space. The Temporary Space Electric and Cleaning Charge shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month without notice or demand.
