            PREMISES AND TERM
 

2.1  DESCRIPTION OF PREMISES.

Subject to and with the benefit of the provisions of this Lease, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, Tenant’s Space in the Building, excluding exterior faces of exterior walls, the common facilities area and building service fixtures and equipment serving exclusively or in common other parts of the Building.  Tenant’s Space, with such exclusions, is hereinafter referred to as the Premises.

Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, the right to use in common with others entitled thereto: (a) common walkways, driveways, hallways, lobbies, ramps, loading docks and stairways located in the Building or on the parcel on which the Building is located (the “Lot”), (b) building service fixtures and equipment serving the Premises including elevators, (c) the parking facility, if any, on a first-come, first-served basis in the location from time to time designated by Landlord, Tenant’s use not to exceed the number of Tenant’s Parking Access Cards, 8 of which shall be located in the Blue Lot behind the Building and the remainder of which shall be located in the Red Lot across the street from the Building (Landlord agreeing that Tenant shall have the use of parking spaces equal to the number of Tenant’s Parking Access Cards at all times, subject to causes beyond
Landlord’s reasonable control), and (d) if the Premises include less than the entire Rentable Floor Area of any floor, the common toilets in the central core area of such floor.  Such rights shall be always subject to the Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit F, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, as the same may be amended by the Landlord from time to time and such other reasonable Rules and Regulations from time to time established by the Landlord by suitable notice to Tenant, and to the right of the Landlord to designate and change from time to time such areas, facilities, fixtures and equipment; provided, however, that such areas, facilities, fixtures, and equipment shall be at least functionally equivalent in all material respects to the same as existing on the date of this Lease.

2.2  TERM.

To have and to hold for a period (the “Term”) commencing on the Term Commencement Date (as defined in Section 3.1 hereof) and continuing for the Term, unless sooner terminated as provided herein.

2.3  OPTION TO EXTEND.

Tenant shall have the right and option to extend the Term for one (1) additional period of two (2) years (the “Extension Term”) commencing upon the expiration of the original Term referred to in Section 1.1 (the “Original Term”), provided that Tenant shall give Landlord notice of Tenant’s exercise of such option at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Original Term and provided further that no event of default by Tenant exists hereunder, and no condition exists which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default hereunder unless the same is cured within the applicable cure period, if any, at either the time of giving such notice or at the time of the commencement of the Extension Term.  Prior to the exercise by Tenant of such option, the expression “Term” shall mean the Original Term, and 

 

6

 

 

after the exercise by Tenant of such option, the expression “Term” shall mean the Original Term as it has been extended by the Extension Term.  Except as expressly otherwise provided in the following paragraph and except for this Section 2.3 hereof, all the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements in the Lease contained shall be applicable to the Extension Term.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an event of default by Tenant exists hereunder, or a condition exists which with the giving of notice would constitute an event of default hereunder at the time of the commencement of the Extension Term, unless the same is cured within the applicable cure period, if any, Tenant’s exercise of its option to extend shall, at the option of Landlord, be null and void and of no force and effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed, that Tenant’s
exercise of its right and option to extend as set forth herein, if timely made and otherwise made in accordance herewith, shall be effective even if a condition exists which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default hereunder at the time Tenant gives notice to Landlord of its exercise of such option to extend or at the time of commencement of the Extension Term, so long as Tenant cures the same within the applicable cure period, if any.  If Tenant shall give notice of its exercise of said option to extend in the manner and within the time period provided aforesaid, the Term shall be extended upon the giving of such notice without the requirement of any further action on the part of either Landlord or Tenant.  If Tenant shall fail to give timely notice of the exercise of any such option as aforesaid, Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term of this Lease, time being of the essence of the foregoing provisions.

The Annual Rent payable during the Extension Term shall be the Fair Market Rent for the Premises, as determined below, as of the commencement of the Extension Term.  If for any reason the Annual Rent payable during the Extension Term has not been determined as of the commencement of the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay the Annual Rent payable during the Original Term until the Annual Rent for the Extension Term is determined, at which time, an appropriate adjustment, if any, shall be made.

For purposes hereof, the Fair Market Rent shall mean the fair rent for the Premises as of the commencement of the Extension Term under market conditions then existing.  Fair Market Rent shall be determined by agreement between Landlord and Tenant, but if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent at least five (5) months prior to the date upon which the Fair Market Rent is to take effect, then the Fair Market Rent shall be determined by appraisal made as hereinafter provided by a board of three (3) reputable independent commercial real estate consultants, appraisers, or brokers, each of whom shall have at least ten years of experience in the Cambridge office rental market and each of whom is hereinafter referred to as “appraiser.”  Tenant and Landlord shall each appoint one such appraiser and the two appraisers so appointed shall appoint the third appraiser.  The cost and
expenses of each appraiser appointed separately by Tenant and Landlord shall be borne by the party who appointed the appraiser.  The cost and expenses of the third appraiser shall be shared equally by Tenant and Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant shall appoint their respective appraisers at lease one hundred thirty-five (135) days prior to commencement of the period for which Fair Market Rent is to be determined and shall designate the appraisers so appointed by notice to the other party.  The two (2) appraisers so appointed and designated shall appoint the third appraiser at least four (4) months prior to the commencement of such period and shall designate such appraisers by notice to Landlord and Tenant.  The board of three (3) appraisers shall determine the Fair Market Rent of the space in question as of the commencement of the period to which the Fair Market Rent shall 

 

7

 

 

apply and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of their determinations at least sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of such period.  If the determinations of the Fair Market Rent of any two (2) or all three (3) appraisers shall be identical in amount, said amount shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Rent of the subject space.  If the determinations of all three (3) appraisers shall be different in the amount, the average of the two values nearest in amount shall be deemed the Fair Market Rent.  The Fair Market Rent of the subject space determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be binding and conclusive on Tenant and Landlord.

ARTICLE III.  CONSTRUCTION

3.1  TERM COMMENCEMENT DATE.

The Term of this Lease shall commence on, and the Term Commencement Date shall be, the earlier of (a) the date on which Landlord’s Base Work has been substantially completed in accordance with Section 3.3. below, but not sooner than February 27, 2006; or (b) the date on which Tenant commences beneficial use of the Premises.  Tenant shall, in all events, be treated as having commenced beneficial use of the Premises when it begins to conduct business operations of any nature from the Premises, i.e., as opposed to moving furniture or equipment into the Premises or otherwise preparing same for Tenant’s occupancy. 

As soon as may be convenient after the Term Commencement Date has been determined, Landlord and Tenant agree to join with each other in the execution, in recordable form, of a written Declaration in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C in which the Term Commencement Date and specified term of this Lease shall be stated (the “Commencement Date Agreement”).

3.2  DELIVERY OF PREMISES.

Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has had an opportunity to inspect the Premises.  Except as set forth hereinafter, the Premises, shall be delivered to Tenant As Is, Where Is, with all faults and without representation, warranty or guaranty of any kind by Landlord to Tenant.  Landlord shall repaint and recarpet the Premises with building standard colors and carpeting selected by Tenant (“Landlord’s Base Work”) and shall also perform the work identified in Exhibit D, all in accordance with Building standards (together with Landlord’s Base Work, “Landlord’s Work”).

Tenant shall pay an amount equal to all costs incurred by Landlord as a result of any change orders signed by Tenant and Landlord affecting Landlord’s Work.  Amounts due and payable on account of such change orders shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days of Landlord’s invoice to Tenant therefor.

Landlord will not approve any construction, alterations, or additions requiring unusual expense to readapt the Premises to normal office use on lease termination or increasing the cost of construction, insurance or taxes on the Building or of Landlord’s services called for by Section 5.1 unless Tenant first gives assurances acceptable to Landlord that such readaptation will be made prior to such termination without expense to Landlord and makes provisions acceptable to Landlord for payment of such increased cost.  Landlord will also disapprove any alterations or additions requested by Tenant which will delay completion of the Premises.  Tenant’s construction, installation of furnishings, and later changes or additions shall be coordinated with 

 

8

 

 

any work being performed by Landlord in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations and not to damage the Building or Lot or interfere with Building operations.

3.3  PREPARATION OF PREMISES FOR OCCUPANCY.

Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to substantially complete Landlord’s Base Work no later than the Scheduled Term Commencement Date and to substantially complete the remainder of Landlord’s Work as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, subject in each case to delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control and delays caused by Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of Landlord’s Work which is not completed by the Term Commencement Date shall be completed during non-business hours, and Tenant shall provide access to the Premises to Landlord and its agents or contractors for that purpose.  Landlord’s Work shall be deemed substantially completed on the date on which Landlord’s Work is substantially completed as certified to Landlord and Tenant by Landlord’s architect, with the exception of minor items which can be fully completed without material interference with
Tenant and other items which because of the season or weather or the nature of the item are not practicable to do at the time, provided that none of said items is necessary to make the Premises tenantable for the Permitted Uses, and provided that the same may be legally occupied for the Permitted Uses .  If Landlord is unable to complete Landlord’s Base Work due to delay in Tenant’s compliance with any of the provisions hereof or due to other delays caused by Tenant (including, without limitation, any changes to Landlord’s Base Work requested by Tenant), then Landlord’s Base Work shall be deemed substantially completed no later than the Scheduled Term Commencement Date.

3.4  GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO CONSTRUCTION.

All construction work required or permitted by this Lease, whether by Landlord or by Tenant, shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws and all lawful ordinances, regulations and orders of governmental authority and insurers of the Building and the Lot.  Either party may inspect the work of the other at reasonable times and promptly shall give notice of observed defects.  Landlord’s obligations under Sections 3.2 and 3.3 shall be deemed to have been performed when Tenant commences to occupy any portion of the Premises for the Permitted Uses except for items which are incomplete or do not conform with the requirements of Section 3.1 and as to which Tenant shall in either case have given written notice to Landlord within three (3) weeks after such commencement.  If Tenant shall not have commenced to occupy the Premises for the Permitted Uses within thirty (30)
days after the Term Commencement Date, a certificate of completion by a licensed architect or registered engineer shall be conclusive evidence that Landlord has performed all such obligations except for items stated in such certificate to be incomplete or not in conformity with such requirements.  Tenant acknowledges that its quiet enjoyment and access to the Demised Premises during the Term may be disturbed by the noise, dust, vibrations and other effects of demolition in the Building, provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to avoid undue interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

3.5  ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.

This Section 3.5 shall apply before and during the Term.  Tenant shall not make any alterations and additions to the Premises except in accordance with plans and specifications first approved 

 

9

 

 

by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed as long as such alterations or additions (a) do not affect any structural or exterior element of the Building or building mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems, including the common facilities of the Building, or (b) will not require unusual expense to readapt the Premises to normal office use on Lease termination or increase the cost of construction or of insurance or taxes on the Building or the Lot.  All alterations and additions shall become a part of the Premises, unless and until Landlord, at its option, shall specify the same for removal pursuant to Section 6.1.2.  All of Tenant’s alterations and additions and installation and delivery of telephone systems, furnishings, and equipment shall be coordinated with any work being performed by Landlord and shall be performed in such manner, and by such persons as shall
maintain harmonious labor relations and not cause any damage to the Building or interference with Building construction or operation and, except for installation of furnishings, equipment and telephone systems, and except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, shall be performed by general contractors first approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the approval of Landlord shall not be required for alterations of a purely cosmetic nature, such as painting or the installation of floor and wall coverings, typically used in office buildings and installed in a customary manner.  Before commencing any work Tenant shall: secure all licenses and permits necessary therefor; deliver to Landlord a statement of the names of all its contractors and subcontractors (the identity of which must have been previously approved by Landlord as hereinabove contemplated) and the estimated cost of all labor and material to be
furnished by them; and cause each contractor to carry (i) worker’s compensation insurance in statutory amounts covering all the contractor’s and subcontractor’s employees and (ii) comprehensive public liability insurance with such limits as Landlord may reasonably require, but in no event less than a combined single limit of $1,500,000 (all such insurance to be written by companies approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and insuring Landlord and Tenant as well as the contractors), and to deliver to Landlord certificates of all such insurance.  Tenant agrees to pay promptly when due, and to defend and indemnify Landlord from and against, the entire cost of any work done on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees or independent contractors, and not to cause or permit any liens for labor or materials performed or furnished in connection therewith to attach to the Building or the Lot and immediately to discharge any such liens
which may so attach.  

In connection with the installation of telecommunication equipment by Tenant, such installation shall occur only in such locations and in such a manner as approved in writing by the Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and none of such wires, ducts or equipment shall be located in areas outside the Premises (provided, however, that Tenant may install wires and cables in risers and ducts outside the Premises which are in existence on the date of this Lease and for which there exists, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, adequate space for Tenant’s wires and cables).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, telecommunication wires, ducts or equipment shall be removed by Tenant at the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, unless otherwise approved by Landlord in writing, and all damage caused by such removal repaired.
Telephone switches, antennae, electronic distribution boxes and similar equipment shall only be located within the Premises.  Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, damage or interruption of service related to such facilities.

3.6  REPRESENTATIVES.

 

10

 

 

 

Each party authorizes the other to rely in connection with their respective rights and obligations under this Article III upon approval and other actions on the party’s behalf by Landlord’s Representative in the case of Landlord or Tenant’s Representative in the case of Tenant or by any person designated in substitution or addition by notice to the other party.

ARTICLE IV.  RENT

4.1  ANNUAL RENT.

Tenant agrees to pay rent to Landlord without any offset or reduction whatsoever (except as made in accordance with the express provisions of this Lease), the Annual Rent in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month included in the Term after the Term Commencement Date; and for any portion of a calendar month at the beginning or end of the Term, at the proportionate rate payable for such portion, in advance.

4.2  ANNUAL OPERATING COST ESCALATION.

In addition to Annual Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Annual Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) which in the case of Annual Operating Costs other than Real Estate Taxes (as hereinafter defined) is in excess of Base Annual Operating Costs and in the case of Real Estate Taxes is in excess of Base Annual Real Estate Taxes (“Tenant’s Escalation Payment”).  Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Annual Operating Costs shall be determined by multiplying Annual Operating Costs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises and the denominator of which is the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building. In the event that the Building is not fully occupied, during any period, including the period during which Base Annual Operating Costs are calculated, Annual Operating Costs shall be adjusted to reflect the
costs which would be incurred if the Building were 95% occupied.

Annual Operating Costs shall mean the actual expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in the operation, maintenance and management of the Building and Lot and all real estate taxes and assessments, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, imposed upon the Building and Lot and any future improvement of whatever kind thereto or thereon and off-site parking areas (“Real Estate Taxes”).  Annual Operating Costs shall include without limitation:

Real Estate Taxes; (b) installments and interest on assessments for public betterment or public improvements (and any assessment shall be paid over the longest period permitted by law without penalty); (c) expenses of any proceedings for abatement of taxes and assessments with respect to any fiscal year or fraction of a fiscal year; (d) service, repair, replacement (subject to the limitations set forth below) and other maintenance to the Building and Lot and components thereof; (e) wages and salaries (and taxes and other charges imposed upon employers with respect to such wages and salaries) and fringe benefits and worker’s compensation insurance premiums paid to persons employed by the Landlord for rendering service in the operation, maintenance, and repair of the Building and Lot and off-site parking areas and amenities; (f) cost of independent contractors hired for the operation, maintenance and
repair of the Building and Lot and off-site parking areas and other off-site facilities serving the Premises (which payments 

 

11

 

 

may be to affiliates of Landlord provided the same are at current market rates consistent with the type of occupancy and the services rendered); (g) costs of electricity, steam, water, fuel, heating, lighting, air conditioning, sewer, and other utilities chargeable to the operation and maintenance of the Building and Lot net of tenant’s electric; (h) cost of insurance including insurance deductible for and relating to the Building and the Lot, including fire and extended coverage (or such greater coverages as Landlord may elect to carry), elevator, boiler, sprinkler leakage, water damage, public liability and property damage, plate glass, and rent protection; (i) costs of supplies; (j) costs of window cleaning, janitorial services, security services, landscaping, snow and ice removal and painting; (k) sales or use taxes on supplies and services; (l) consulting, accounting fees, legal, tax appeal,
engineering and other professional fees and expenses; (m) management fees; (n) contributions, costs or expenses related to common areas or facilities and off-site parking areas of any office park or development of which the Building or Lot are a part; (o) alterations and improvements to the Building and Lot which are not capital in nature made by reason of any requirement of any insurance underwriters or any federal, state, or local statutes, regulations, ordinances, or any other duly constituted public authorities having jurisdiction over the Building and Lot; (p) all ordinary maintenance, repair, cleaning and operation costs accounted with providing food services in accordance with Section 5.1.5; and (q) without limiting any of the foregoing, any other expense or charge which, in accordance with sound accounting and management principles generally accepted, would be construed as an operating expense.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Annual Operating Costs shall not include any of the following:  

Salaries of officers and executives of Landlord not connected with the operation of the Building and Lot (the “Property”) and other costs and expenses associated with the operation of the Property, but allocable to other properties (e.g., where a service is provided at a single cost to both the Property and another property, an equitable allocation shall be made to exclude the cost fairly attributable to such other property);

Depreciation;

Costs of improving, painting, decorating, planning or designing space to be occupied by other tenants or prospective tenants;

Interest and principal amortization on any mortgage or deed of trust, and any rent paid on any ground or underlying lease;

Expenses for which Landlord, by the terms of this Lease or any other lease, makes a separate charge;

Franchise or income taxes imposed on Landlord;

The cost of any electric current furnished to the Building tenants for lights and outlet consumption in the premises of such tenants;

brokerage commissions and legal and other fees and other costs incurred in procuring, negotiating or resolving disputes with other tenants or prospective tenants;

 

12

 

 

 

Expenses incurred in the construction of additional leasable area on the Property;

Advertising expenses;

Costs relating to maintaining Landlord’s existence as a corporation, limited partnership or other entity;

Administrative fees, other than management fees; 

The cost of any work or service performed for any tenant (other than Tenant) to a materially greater extent or in a materially more favorable manner than that furnished generally to the tenants and other occupants;

Increases in premiums for insurance required to be carried by Landlord pursuant to this Lease when such increases are caused by hazardous uses of the Property by the Landlord or any other tenant of Landlord which are not usual or customary in an office building like the Building; 

Costs incurred by Landlord to the extent the same result from any violation by Landlord or any other tenant of the terms and conditions of any lease of space;

Maintenance and repair of capital items not part of the Property or off-site areas serving the Premises;

The cost of any items to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed by insurance, condemnation, refund, rebate or otherwise;

Any expenses for repairs or maintenance to the extent reimbursed pursuant to warranties, guarantees or service contracts; 

Any costs representing an amount paid to an entity related to Landlord which is in excess of the fair market value of the goods provided and/or services rendered; and

Capital expenditures other than Essential Capital Improvements (defined below).

In addition, new categories of expense not included in Base Annual Operating Costs shall be excluded unless the Base Annual Operating Costs are adjusted to include such new categories or items in the amount which would have been incurred for such item had same been provided in calendar year 2006.

In the event Landlord shall make a capital expenditure for Essential Capital Improvements during any year, the annual amortization of such expenditure (determined by dividing the amount of the expenditure by the useful life of the improvement, as reasonably determined by Landlord), together with interest at the greater of the Prime Rate prevailing plus 2% or Landlord’s actual borrowing rate for such Essential Capital Improvements shall be deemed part of Annual Operating Costs for each year of such useful life.  As used herein, “Essential Capital Improvement” means any of the following:

 

13

 

 

 

(i)       a labor saving device, energy saving device or other installation, improvement or replacement which reduces Annual Operating Costs as referred to above, whether or not voluntary or required by governmental mandate; or

an installation, change, improvement, addition, alteration, or removal of any architectural barriers, whether or not the foregoing are structural in nature, required to be made by any law, regulation, or order of public authority that first becomes effective or first becomes applicable to the Property after the date of this Lease; or

an installation or improvement which directly enhances the health or safety of tenants in the Building generally, required by governmental mandate (as for example, without limitation, for life safety or security) not in force or applicable to the Building on the date hereof; or

costs or expenditures incurred in replacing compressors and refrigeration equipment in order to comply with regulations regarding ozone depleting refrigerants or resulting from the excessive cost of or inability to obtain such materials.

4.3  ESTIMATED ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSE ESCALATION PAYMENT.

If, with respect to any fiscal year or fraction thereof during the Term, Landlord estimates that Tenant will be obligated to pay Tenant’s Escalation Payment, then Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, on the first day of each month of such fiscal year and each ensuing fiscal year thereafter, an estimate equal to 1/12th of Tenant’s Escalation Payment for the respective fiscal year (“Estimated Monthly Operating Cost Payments”), with an appropriate additional payment or refund to be made within 30 days after Landlord’s Statement (as hereafter defined) is delivered to Tenant.  Landlord may adjust such Estimated Monthly Operating Cost Payment from time to time and at any time during a fiscal year (but not more than twice per year), and Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, on the first day of each month following receipt of Landlord’s notice thereof, the adjusted Estimated Monthly
Operating Cost Payment.

As soon as practicable (Landlord agreeing to endeavor to do so within one hundred twenty (120) days) after the end of each fiscal year ending during the Term and after lease termination, Landlord shall render a statement (“Landlord’s Statement”) in reasonable detail and according to usual accounting practices certified by Landlord and showing for the preceding fiscal year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, Landlord’s Annual Operating Costs, Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof, and Tenant’s Escalation Payment, as defined above.

If Controllable Operating Costs (as defined below) with respect to any fiscal year increase by more than three percent (3%) from the previous fiscal year, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to audit Landlord’s books and records respecting Annual Operating Costs with respect to any fiscal year, provided that Tenant requests such audit by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of the Statement for and with respect to such fiscal year and conducts such audit within sixty (60) days after delivery to Tenant of such Statement.  Tenant may conduct such audit by a qualified independent certified public accountant, but in no event by anyone who is compensated in whole or in part on a contingency basis.  If Tenant does not so request an audit and does not dispute any item in a Statement by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery
to Tenant of such Statement or 

 

14

 

 

notify Landlord of the results of such audit within sixty (60) days after delivery to Tenant of such Statement, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have approved such Statement.  If Tenant’s audit determines that Annual Operating Costs for the year in question have been overstated or understated by Landlord, then an equitable adjustment shall be made in the amount paid or payable pursuant to this Section 4.3 for such period, and an appropriate payment or credit shall be made forthwith.  If Tenant’s audit determines that Annual Operating Costs for the year in question were overstated by three percent (3%) or more, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of the audit.  For purposes hereof, "Controllable Operating Costs" mean all Annual Operating Costs, other than real estate taxes, insurance premiums and expenses, utility charges, and snow removal costs.

4.4  ELECTRICITY.

Tenant will be billed for electricity for Tenant’s lights and outlet consumption on a monthly basis based on an annual estimate of $1.25 per rentable square foot (which amount may be adjusted by Landlord, from time to time, to reflect increases in the electrical costs to the Building).  Should the actual average expense to Landlord per square foot for Tenant’s electricity be different, an additional charge or a credit will be made at the end of each year’s occupancy to be paid with or credited against the next monthly charge for Tenant’s electricity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right to assess Tenant’s charge for electricity based on an engineer’s survey of Tenant’s electrical usage conducted from time to time or on the sub-metering of all or part of the Premises.  Such charges for Tenant’s electricity shall be paid by Tenant as additional rent
at the same time and in the same manner as payments of Annual Rent.

Tenant covenants and agrees that its use of electric current for lights and plugs shall not exceed 4.0 watts per square foot of rentable floor area and that its total connected lighting load will not exceed the maximum load from time to time permitted by applicable governmental regulations.  In the event Tenant introduces into the Premises personnel or equipment which overloads the capacity of the Building’s electrical system or in any other way interferes with the system’s ability to perform properly, supplementary systems including check meters may, if and as needed and after notice to Tenant, at Landlord’s option, be provided by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense.  Landlord shall not in any way be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if, during the Term of this Lease, either the quantity or character of electric current is
changed or electric current is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements due to a factor or cause beyond Landlord’s control.

Landlord reserves the exclusive right to provide electric and other utility service to the Building.  Tenant may request permission from Landlord (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion) to arrange electric and other utility service exclusively serving the Premises.

Landlord’s consent to any proposed assignment or
subletting is required both as to the terms and conditions thereof, and as to the creditworthiness of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the consistency of the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s business with other uses and tenants in the Building.  In the event that any assignee or subtenant pays to Tenant any amounts in excess of the Annual Rent and additional rent then payable 

 

20

 

 

hereunder, or pro rata portion thereof on a square footage basis for any portion of the Premises (“Excess Amount”), Tenant shall promptly pay fifty percent (50%) of said Excess Amount to Landlord as and when received by Tenant after first deducting therefrom all of Tenant’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such transaction, including, without limitation, brokerage fees and commissions, legal fees and expenses, the cost of any improvements performed at Tenant’s expense for the benefit of the transferee, and any allowance or other concession made by Tenant for the benefit of such transferee.  If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to assign this Lease or sublet more than one-third (1/3) of the Premises, Landlord shall have the option (“Landlord’s Recapture Option”), exercisable by written notice to Tenant given within ten (10) days after receipt of such
request, to terminate this Lease as of a date specified in such notice which shall be not less than thirty (30) or more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a proposed assignment or sublease to the specific assignee or subtenant set forth in Tenant’s notice to Landlord requesting approval to such proposed assignment or sublease (“Tenant’s Sublease Notice”), provided that (i) Tenant and the assignee or subtenant set forth in Tenant’s Sublease Notice have executed an assignment or sublease including terms which do not differ materially from those set forth in Tenant’s Sublease Notice within three (3) months of the date of such Notice, (ii) the terms and provisions of such assignment or subletting shall specifically make applicable to the assignee or sublessee all of the provisions of this Section 6.1.6 so that Landlord shall have against the assignee or sublessee all rights with respect to any further assignment and subletting which are set forth
herein; (iii) the character of the proposed assignee or subtenant is consistent with the character of the Building as a first-class office building; (iv) the credit of the proposed assignee or subtenant shall be as good as or better than the credit of the Tenant as of the execution of this Lease as reasonably demonstrated by financial information supplied to Landlord with Tenant’s Sublease Notice; (v) provided that Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord then has available for rent space in the Building or the office park in which the Building is located, Landlord or its affiliate shall not have been negotiating with the proposed assignee or subtenant, or any affiliate thereof, for space in the Building within the previous twelve (12) months; (vi) no assignment or subletting shall affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant (which, following assignment shall be joint and several with the assignee); (vii) no consent to any of the foregoing in a specific instance shall operate
as a waiver in any subsequent instance; (viii) no consent shall be deemed unreasonably withheld by Landlord to the extent the granting of consent might cause Landlord to be in default under any mortgage; and (ix) no assignment shall be binding upon Landlord or any of Landlord’s mortgagees, unless Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an instrument in recordable form which contains a covenant of assumption by the assignee running to Landlord and all persons claiming by, through or under Landlord (an “Assumption Agreement”), but the failure or refusal of the assignee to execute an Assumption Agreement shall not release or discharge the assignee from its liability as tenant hereunder.  In the event Tenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee have failed to execute an assignment or sublease within three (3) months of the date of Tenant’s Sublease Notice, Tenant’s right to assign or sublease shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1.6.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease (a “Permitted Assignment”) to an entity owned or controlled by, under common ownership or control with or owning or controlling Tenant (in each case, an “Affiliate”) or to a third party successor of substantially all 

 

21

 

 

of Tenant’s stock or business operations (a “Successor”), without Landlord’s consent, but upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice, accompanied by information which reasonably demonstrates that the proposed assignee is an Affiliate or a Successor, as the case may be, provided such assignee provides an Assumption Agreement to Landlord.  A request for Landlord’s consent to a Permitted Assignment shall not trigger Landlord’s Recapture Option nor shall Tenant be required to share with Landlord any portion of the Excess Amount, if any, realized by Tenant in connection with a Permitted Assignment.  The liability of Tenant and any assignee to Landlord hereunder shall following assignment be joint and several.

6.1.7 Indemnity.  To defend, with counsel approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required with respect to counsel appointed by any insurer assuming liability for the applicable claim, all actions against Landlord, Managing Agent, any partner, member, trustee, stockholder, officer, director, employee or beneficiary of Landlord or Managing Agent, holders of mortgages secured by the Premises or the Building and Lot and any other party having an interest in the Premises (“Indemnified Parties”) with respect to, and to pay, protect, indemnify and save harmless, to the extent permitted by law, all Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all liabilities, losses damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), causes of action, suits, claims,

protect against the release of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, sublessees or invitees into the environment to the extent required by any Environmental Laws (as defined above).

6.1.8 Tenant’s Insurance.  To carry and maintain, or cause to be carried and maintained, the following, at all times during the term of this lease and at Tenant’s expense:

injury coverage protecting Landlord against liability (except for liability resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord) occasioned by any occurrence on or about the premises.  Such Liability Policy shall be maintained in an amount not less than $1,000,000 for a 

 

22

If Tenant fails to
secure or maintain any insurance coverage required by clause (a) above, or should insurance secured not be approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), Landlord may, without obligation, purchase such required insurance coverage at Tenant’s expense.  Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any monies so expended.

Tenant agrees to commence the performance of its work promptly after Landlord completes the restoration work to be performed by Landlord under Section 7.13 and, in such event, Tenant shall complete such work as promptly thereafter as is practicable, but in no event more than 90 days thereafter.

All proceeds payable from Landlord’s insurance policies with respect to the Premises shall belong to and shall be payable to Landlord.  If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 7.1.2 hereof, Landlord shall disburse and apply so much of any insurance recovery (including payment of the deductible by Landlord) as shall be necessary against the cost to Landlord of restoration and rebuilding of Landlord’s work referred to in Section 7.1.3 hereof, subject to the prior rights of any lessor under a ground or underlying lease covering the Building and/or the holder of any mortgage liens against the Building; provided, however, that Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to assert any rights it may have under any applicable mortgage or ground lease to obtain insurance proceeds for restoration purposes.

In the event that the provisions of Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2 shall become applicable, the Annual Rent and additional rent shall be abated or reduced proportionately during any period in which, by reason of such damage or destruction, there is substantial interference with the operation of the business of Tenant in the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue its business in the Premises, and such abatement or reduction shall continue for the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with the completion by Landlord of such work of repair and/or reconstruction as Landlord is obligated to do.

7.2  EMINENT DOMAIN.

If, after the execution and before termination of this Lease, the entire Premises shall be taken by eminent domain or destroyed by the action of any public or quasi-public authority, or in the event of conveyance in lieu thereof, the Term shall cease as of the day possession shall be taken by such authority, and Tenant shall pay rent up to that date with a pro-rata refund by Landlord of such rent and additional rent as shall have been paid in advance for a period subsequent to the date of the taking of possession.

 

26

 

 

 

If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, this Lease shall cease only with respect to the parts so taken or conveyed, as of the day possession shall be taken, and Tenant shall pay rent up to that day, with an appropriate refund by Landlord of such rent as may have been paid in advance for a period subsequent to the date of the taking of possession, and thereafter the Annual Rent shall be equitably adjusted.  Pending agreement of such rental adjustment, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Annual Rent and additional rent in effect immediately prior to the taking by eminent domain.  Landlord shall at its expense make all necessary repairs or alterations so as to constitute the remaining premises a complete architectural unit.  If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises shall be so taken or conveyed, then the Term shall cease only as respects the part so
taken or conveyed, from the day possession shall be taken, and Tenant shall pay rent to that date with an appropriate refund by Landlord of such rent as may have been paid in advance for a period subsequent to the date of the taking of possession, but Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice to Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days after such taking of possession.  If Landlord does not elect to terminate the Lease, all of the terms herein provided shall continue in effect except that the Annual Rent shall be equitably adjusted, and Landlord shall make all necessary repairs or alterations so as to constitute the remaining premises a complete architectural unit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a material portion of the Premises shall be taken such that the Premises cannot reasonably be used by Tenant for the Permitted Uses, or access to the Lot, or any portion of the parking facility such that the parking areas serving the Building do not contain at least two (2) parking spaces for each 1,000 square feet of rentable floor area in the Building (after taking into account any other buildings served by such parking area), shall be taken, then, in any such event, each of Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such taking.  If neither party elects to terminate the Lease, all of the terms herein provided shall continue in effect, subject to the provisions hereof.

All compensation awarded for any such taking or conveyance, whether for the whole or a part of the Premises, shall be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in the value of the leasehold or of the fee of or underlying leasehold interest in the Premises, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to any and all such compensation; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to seek a separate award for Tenant’s stock, trade fixtures and relocation expense.

In the event of any taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use (i.e., for less than twelve (12) months), this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and rent shall not abate, but Tenant shall have the exclusive right to seek compensation for such taking for temporary use.

ARTICLE VIII.  RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE

8.1  PRIORITY OF LEASE.

This Lease is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate to any presently existing mortgage or deed of trust of record covering the Lot or Building or both (the “mortgaged premises”).  The holder of any such presently existing mortgage or deed of trust shall have the election to subordinate the same to the rights and interests of Tenant under this Lease exercisable by filing 

 

27

 

 

with the appropriate recording office a notice of such election, whereupon the Tenant’s rights and interests hereunder shall have priority over such mortgage or deed of trust.  Landlord agrees to use diligent good faith efforts to obtain an SNDA (defined below) from the holder of any present mortgage or deed of trust on the mortgaged premises.

Unless the option provided for in the next following sentence shall be exercised, this Lease shall be superior to and shall not be subordinate to, any mortgage, deed of trust or other voluntary lien hereafter placed on the mortgaged premises.  The holder of any such mortgage, deed of trust or other voluntary lien shall have the option to subordinate this Lease to the same, provided that such holder enters into an agreement (an “SNDA”) with Tenant by the terms of which the holder will agree to recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease and to accept Tenant as tenant of the Premises under the terms and conditions of this Lease in the event of acquisition of title by such holder through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise and Tenant will agree to recognize the holder of such mortgage as Landlord in such event, which agreement shall be made to expressly bind and inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of Tenant and of the holder and upon anyone purchasing the mortgaged premises at any foreclosure sale.  Any such mortgage to which this Lease shall be subordinated may contain such commercially reasonable terms, provisions and conditions as the holder deems usual or customary.

8.2  RIGHTS OF MORTGAGE HOLDERS; LIMITATION OF MORTGAGEE’S LIABILITY.

The word “mortgage” as used herein includes mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar instruments evidencing other voluntary liens or encumbrances, and modifications, consolidations, extensions, renewals, replacements and substitutes thereof.  The word “holder” shall mean a mortgagee, and any subsequent holder or holders of a mortgage.  Until the holder of a mortgage shall enter and take possession of the Premises for the purpose of foreclosure, such holder shall have only such rights of Landlord as are necessary to preserve the integrity of this Lease as security.  Upon entry and taking possession of the Premises for the purpose of foreclosure, such holder shall have all the rights of Landlord.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, including without limitation Section 10.4, no such holder of a mortgage shall be liable, either as mortgagee or as assignee, to
perform, or be liable in damages for failure to perform any of the obligations of Landlord unless and until such holder shall enter and take possession of the Premises for the purpose of foreclosure, and such holder shall not in any event be liable to perform or for failure to perform the obligations of Landlord under Section 3.2.  Upon entry for the purpose of foreclosure, such holder shall be liable to perform all of the obligations of Landlord (except for the obligations under Section 3.2), subject to and with the benefit of the provisions of Section 10.4, provided that a discontinuance of any foreclosure proceeding shall be deemed a conveyance under said provisions to the owner of the equity of the Premises.

8.3  MORTGAGEE’S ELECTION.

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, if prior to substantial completion of Landlord’s obligations under Article III, any holder of a first mortgage on the mortgaged premises enters and takes possession thereof for the purpose of foreclosing the mortgage, such holder may elect, by written notice given to Tenant and Landlord at any time within ninety (90) days after such entry and taking of possession, not to perform Landlord’s 

 

28

 

 

obligations under Article III, and in such event such holder and all persons claiming under it shall be relieved of all obligations to perform, and all liability for failure to perform, said Landlord’s obligations under Article III, and Tenant may terminate this Lease and all its obligations hereunder by written notice to Landlord and such holder given within thirty (30) days after the day on which such holder shall have given its notice as aforesaid.

8.4  NO PREPAYMENT OR MODIFICATION, ETC.

Tenant shall not pay Annual Rent, additional rent, or any other charge more than twenty (20) days prior to the due date thereof.  No prepayment of Annual Rent, additional rent or other charge, no assignment of this Lease and no agreement to modify so as to reduce the rent, change the Term, or otherwise materially change the rights of Landlord under this Lease, or to relieve Tenant of any obligations or liability under this Lease, shall be enforceable against any mortgagee unless consented to in writing by the mortgagee of record at the time thereof, if any. 

8.5  NO RELEASE OR TERMINATION.

No act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless (i) Tenant shall have first given written notice of Landlord’s act or failure to act to Landlord’s mortgagees of record, if any, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which could or would give basis to Tenant’s rights and (ii) such mortgagees, after receipt of such notice, have failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of within a reasonable time thereafter, but nothing contained in this Section 8.5 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such mortgagee to correct or cure any such condition.  “Reasonable time” as used above means and
includes a reasonable time to obtain possession of the mortgaged premises, if the mortgagee elects to do so, and a reasonable time to correct or cure the condition if such condition is determined to exist.  Nothing contained in this Section 8.5 shall affect Tenant’s termination rights under Article VII.

8.6  CONTINUING OFFER.

The covenants and agreements contained in this Lease with respect to the rights, powers and benefits of a mortgagee (particularly, without limitation thereby, the covenants and agreements contained in this Article VIII) constitute a continuing offer to any person, corporation or other entity, which by accepting or requiring an assignment of this Lease or by entry or foreclosure assumes the obligations herein set forth with respect to such mortgagee; such mortgagee is hereby constituted a party to this Lease as an obligee hereunder to the same extent as though its name were written hereon as such; and such mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce such provisions in its own name.  Tenant agrees on request of Landlord to execute and deliver from time to time any commercially reasonable agreement which may reasonably be deemed necessary to implement the provisions of this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX.  DEFAULT

9.1  EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

 

29

 

 

 

If any default by Tenant continues, in case of Annual Rent, additional rent or any other monetary obligation to Landlord for more than ten (10) days after notice to Tenant thereof (provided that no notice shall thereafter be required if Tenant defaults in any monetary requirement twice in any twelve (12) month period), or if Tenant fails to provide an estoppel certificate in accordance with Section 10.10 hereof, which failure continues for more than ten (10) days after notice to Tenant thereof, or if any default by Tenant continues in any other case for more than thirty (30) days after notice and such additional time, if any, as is reasonably necessary to cure the default if the default is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured in thirty (30) days and Tenant promptly commences to cure such default and diligently pursues such cure without interruption to completion; or if Tenant becomes insolvent,
fails to pay its debts as they fall due, files a petition under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 101 et seq., as it may be amended (or any similar petition under any insolvency law of any jurisdiction), or if such petition is filed against Tenant and not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or if Tenant proposes any dissolution, liquidation, composition, financial reorganization or recapitalization with creditors, makes an assignment or trust mortgage for benefit of creditors, or if a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar agent is appointed or takes possession with respect to any property of Tenant, and, unless such appointment was consented to by Tenant, such appointment is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or if the leasehold hereby created is taken on execution or other process of law in any action against Tenant; then, and in any such case, Landlord and the agents and servants of Landlord may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any
preceding breach of covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter while such default continues and without further notice, at Landlord’s election, do any one or more of the following: (1) give Tenant written notice stating that the Lease is terminated, effective upon the giving of such notice or upon a date stated in such notice, as Landlord may elect, in which event the Lease shall be irrevocably extinguished and terminated as stated in such notice without any further action, or (2) with or without process of law, in a lawful manner enter and repossess the Premises as of Landlord’s former estate, and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant, and remove its and their effects, without being guilty of trespass, in which event the Lease shall be irrevocably extinguished and terminated at the time of such entry, or (3) pursue any other rights or remedies permitted by law.  Any such termination of the Lease shall be without prejudice to any remedies which might
otherwise be used for arrears of rent or prior breach of covenant, and in the event of such termination Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease as hereinafter provided.  Tenant hereby waives all statutory rights (including, without limitation, rights of redemption, if any) to the extent such rights may be lawfully waived, and Landlord, without notice to Tenant, may store Tenant’s effects and those of any person claiming through or under Tenant at the expense and risk of Tenant and, if Landlord so elects, may sell such effects at public auction or private sale and apply the net proceeds to the payment of all sums due to Landlord from Tenant, if any, and pay over the balance, if any, to Tenant.

9.2  TENANT’S OBLIGATIONS AFTER TERMINATION.

In the event that this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in Section 9.1 or shall be otherwise terminated for breach of any obligation of Tenant, Tenant covenants to pay forthwith to Landlord, as compensation, the net present value, discounted at a rate reasonably determined by Landlord, of the excess of the total rent reserved for the residue of the Term over the rental value of the Premises for said residue of the Term.  In calculating the rent reserved, there shall be included, in addition to the Annual Rent and all additional rent, the value of all 

 

30

 

 

other consideration agreed to be paid or performed by Tenant for said residue.  Tenant further covenants as an additional and cumulative obligation after any such ending to pay punctually to Landlord all the sums and perform all the obligations which Tenant covenants in this Lease to pay and to perform in the same manner and to the same extent and at the same time as if this Lease had not been terminated.  In calculating the amounts to be paid by Tenant under the next foregoing covenant, Tenant shall be credited with any amount paid to Landlord as compensation as provided in the first sentence of this Section 9.2 and also with the net proceeds of any rents obtained by Landlord by reletting the Premises, after deducting all Landlord’s expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without implied limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, fees for legal services and expenses of
preparing the Premises for such reletting, it being agreed by Tenant that Landlord may (i) relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant such concessions and free rent as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable or necessary to relet the same and (ii) make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable or necessary to relet the same, and no action of Landlord in accordance with the foregoing or failure to relet or to collect rent under reletting shall operate or be construed to release or reduce Tenant’s liability as aforesaid.

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

ARTICLE X.  MISCELLANEOUS

10.1  NOTICE OF LEASE.

Upon request of either party, both parties shall execute and deliver, after the Term begins, a notice of this Lease in form appropriate for recording or registration, and if this Lease is terminated before the Term expires, an instrument in such form acknowledging the date of termination.

10.2  RELOCATION.

Not more than once during the Term, Landlord reserves the right to relocate the Premises to comparable space within the Building or another Office Park Building by giving Tenant prior written notice of such intention to relocate.  If within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, Landlord and Tenant have not agreed on the space to which the Premises are to be relocated and the timing of such relocation, this Lease shall terminate on that date which is sixty (60) days after the Tenant’s receipt of such notice.  If Landlord and Tenant do so agree, then the Lease shall be deemed amended by deleting the description of the original Premises and substituting therefor a description of such comparable space and, if such relocation is to another Office Park Building owned by a party other than Landlord, by reexecuting the Lease with the owner of such other Office Park Building being substituted for the
Landlord hereunder.  The relocation shall occur 

 

31

 

 

during hours other than normal business hours.  Landlord agrees to pay all of the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such relocation, including, without limitation, replacing a reasonable stock of Tenant’s stationery if Tenant’s current stationery is rendered obsolete as a result of the relocation. 

10.3  NOTICES FROM ONE PARTY TO THE OTHER.

All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and addressed, if to the Tenant, at Tenant’s Address or such other address as Tenant shall have last designated by notice in writing to Landlord and, if to Landlord, at Landlord’s Address or such other address as Landlord shall have last designated by notice in writing to Tenant.  Any notice shall have been deemed duly given if mailed to such address postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, when deposited with the U.S. Postal Service, or if delivered to such address by hand, when so delivered or by a reputable overnight delivery service, such as Federal Express, in each case, upon delivery, attempted delivery, or refusal to accept delivery, whichever occurs first at the address of the intended recipient.

10.4  BIND AND INURE.

The obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Landlord named herein and each successive owner of the Premises shall be liable only for the obligations accruing during the period of its ownership (provided, however, that a transfer of the Building to an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Landlord shall not relieve such successor for liability for the existing defaults of the transferring Landlord).  The obligations of Landlord shall be binding upon the assets of Landlord which comprise the Building and the Lot but not upon other assets of Landlord.  No individual partner, member, trustee, stockholder, officer, director, employee or beneficiary of Landlord shall be personally liable under this Lease and Tenant shall look solely to
Landlord’s interest in the Building and the Lot in pursuit of its remedies upon an event of default hereunder, and the general assets of the individual partners, trustees, stockholders, officers, employees or beneficiaries of Landlord shall not be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of the remedies of Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have recourse against the proceeds of a sale of the Building and the Lot (the “Proceeds”) for obligations of the transferring Landlord accruing during such transferring Landlord’s period of ownership of the Building and the Lot, unless and until the occurrence of either of the following, after which Tenant shall not have recourse to the Proceeds:  (a) Tenant has delivered an estoppel certificate in connection with such sale which does not take exception for any default or other condition which forms the basis of a claim by Tenant against such transferring Landlord (the
“Exception Matters”), or (b) Tenant has failed to deliver an estoppel certificate in connection with such sale within ten (10) days after written request therefor in accordance with Section 10.10 hereof.  In the case of delivery of an estoppel certificate by Tenant under (a) above, recourse to the Proceeds shall be limited to claims relating to Exception Matters, if any, and only to the extent that Tenant brings an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to assert such claims within ninety (90) days after Landlord’s request for an estoppel certificate, and then only during the pendency of such claims.

10.5  NO SURRENDER.

 

32

 

 

 

The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or to Landlord’s agent or any employee thereof shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

10.6  NO WAIVER, ETC.

The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this Lease or any of the Rules and Regulations referred to in Section 6.1.4, whether heretofore or hereafter adopted by Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation, nor shall the failure of Landlord to enforce any of said Rules and Regulations against any other tenant in the Building be deemed a waiver of any such Rules or Regulations.  The payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of Annual Rent or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach by such party, unless such waiver be in writing and signed by such party.  No consent or waiver, express or
implied, by either party to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty.

10.7  NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION.

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

10.8  CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.

The specific remedies to which Landlord or Tenant may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by the other party of any provisions of this Lease.  In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, either party shall be entitled to the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions.

10.9  LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE.

If Tenant shall at any time default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to enter upon the Premises and to perform such obligation, notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such substituted performance by Landlord is made in this Lease with respect to such default.  In performing such obligation, Landlord may make any payment of money or perform any other act.  All sums so paid by Landlord (together with interest at the rate of 4% per annum in excess of the then prime commercial rate of interest being charged by the three largest national banks in Boston, Massachusetts) and all necessary incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be additional rent under this Lease 

 

33

 

 

and shall be payable to Landlord immediately on demand.  Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

10.10  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

Each party agrees, from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written request by the other, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in writing certifying, if and to the extent then true and correct, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect; that Tenant has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay the Annual Rent and additional rent and to perform its other covenants under this Lease; that there are no uncured defaults of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications, and, if there are any defenses, offsets, counterclaims, or defaults, setting them forth in reasonable detail); and the dates to which the Annual Rent, additional rent and other charges have been paid.  Any such statement delivered
pursuant to this Section 10.10 shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to and may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of premises which include the Premises or any prospective assignee of any such mortgagee, or any permitted assignee or sublessee of Tenant.  If Landlord fails to deliver such statement within ten (10) days of the written request from Tenant, Landlord shall not be deemed in default hereof unless Tenant provides a second notice to Landlord requesting the same, and Landlord fails to deliver the statement within ten (10) days of such second notice.

10.11  WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.

Any insurance carried by either party with respect to the Premises and property therein or occurrences thereon shall include a clause or endorsement denying to the insurer rights of subrogation against the other party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured prior to occurrences of injury or loss.  Each party, notwithstanding any provisions of this Lease to the contrary, hereby waives any rights of recovery against the other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by insurance containing such clause or endorsement to the extent of the indemnification received thereunder or that would be covered by insurance required to be maintained hereunder (including self insurance), regardless of whether or not such required insurance is in effect.

10.12  ACTS OF GOD.

In any case where either party hereto is required to do any act, delays caused by or resulting from Acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of labor, materials or equipment, government regulations, unusually severe weather, or other causes beyond such party’s reasonable control shall not be counted in determining the time during which work shall be completed, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or a “reasonable time,” and such time shall be deemed to be extended by the period of such delay.  Nothing contained in this Section 10.12 shall affect Tenant’s termination rights under Article VII.

10.13  BROKERAGE.

 

34

 

 

 

Tenant and Landlord represent and warrant that they dealt with no brokers in connection with this transaction other than the Broker and agree to defend, with counsel approved by the other, indemnify and save the other harmless from and against any and all cost, expense or liability for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by a broker or agent, other than the Broker in connection with this Lease.  Landlord hereby agrees to pay the brokerage fees to the Broker in connection with the execution and delivery of this Lease.

10.14  SUBMISSION NOT AN OFFER.

The submission of a draft of this Lease or a summary of some or all of its provisions does not constitute an offer to lease or demise the Premises, it being understood and agreed that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be legally bound with respect to the leasing of the Premises unless and until this Lease has been executed by both Landlord and Tenant and a fully executed copy has been delivered to each of them.

10.15  APPLICABLE LAW AND CONSTRUCTION.

This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be declared invalid or unenforceable by the final ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction having final review, the remaining terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease and their application to persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue to be enforced and recognized as valid agreements of the parties, and in the place of such invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be substituted a like, but valid and enforceable provision which comports to the findings of the aforesaid court and most nearly accomplishes the original intention of the parties.

There are no oral or written agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting this Lease.  This Lease may be amended, and the provisions hereof may be waived or modified, only by instruments in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant.

The titles of the several Articles and Sections contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be considered in construing this Lease.

Unless repugnant to the context, the words “Landlord” and “Tenant” appearing in this Lease shall be construed to mean those named above and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and those claiming through or under them respectively.  If there be more than one tenant, the obligations imposed by this Lease upon Tenant shall be joint and several.

10.16  AUTHORITY.

Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord (which representations and warranties shall survive the delivery of this Lease) that:  (a) Tenant (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation, (ii) has the corporate power and authority to carry on businesses now being conducted and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary and (iii) has the corporate power to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under this Lease and (b) the execution, delivery and performance by 

 

35

 

 

Tenant of its obligations under this Lease have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and will not violate any provision of law, any order of any court or other agency of government, the corporate charter or by-laws of the Tenant or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound.

Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant (which representations and warranties shall survive the delivery of this Lease) that:  (a) Landlord (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the law of its state of organization, (ii) has the power and authority to carry on businesses now being conducted and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary and (iii) has the power to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under this Lease and (b) the execution, delivery and performance by Landlord of its obligations under this Lease have been duly authorized by all requisite action and will not violate any provision of law, any order of any court or other agency of government, the partnership agreement of the Landlord or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound.

ARTICLE XI.  SECURITY DEPOSIT

Simultaneously with Tenant’s delivery of the executed Lease to Landlord, Tenant will deliver to Landlord the Security Deposit in the form of a letter of credit in the amount of the Security Deposit and in conformity with the provisions set forth below (the “Letter of Credit”), which Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord, as security, without interest, for and during the Term, and which Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant at the termination of this Lease, provided there exists no. default of Tenant under the provisions of this Lease.  The Letter of Credit shall be an irrevocable and unconditional standby documentary letter of credit in the amount of the Security Deposit issued by a institution satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, naming Landlord, its successors and assigns as the beneficiary, assignable to a
successor or assignee at no cost to Landlord or such successor or assignee, expiring no less than one (1) year from the Term Commencement Date and renewing automatically each year (or at the end of the applicable term thereof) unless the issuing bank has given Landlord notice at least forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration that the same will not be renewed, and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  Landlord shall be permitted to draw upon the Letter of Credit in the event of (i) default by Tenant in any of its obligations hereunder after the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, in which event Landlord may draw upon all or a portion of the Letter of Credit and apply the proceeds as described below, or (ii) failure by Tenant to provide to Landlord a replacement or substitute Letter of Credit in the amount of Security Deposit, and otherwise subject to the conditions set forth above, no less than thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, in which event Landlord may draw upon all of the Letter of Credit and use the same to satisfy any unfulfilled obligation of Tenant under the Lease, without any obligation to segregate such funds or to account for them to Tenant, Tenant acknowledging that in such circumstance it shall have no right whatsoever to such proceeds.  Such failure to provide a replacement or substitute Letter of Credit to Landlord no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord shall be an event of default hereunder.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the Letter of Credit or any substitute therefor, as the same may be automatically renewed as provided herein, shall

expire no sooner than thirty (30) days after the scheduled expiration of the Term, as the same may be extended.

The Security Deposit is being delivered by Tenant to Landlord as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease.  It is understood and agreed that if any default by Tenant occurs hereunder and continues after the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit so deposited to the extent required to cure such default or for payment of any sum as to which Tenant is in such default, if any, or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of any such default by Tenant hereunder, if any.  It is agreed that Landlord shall always have the right to apply the Security Deposit or any part thereof, as aforesaid, without prejudice to any other remedy or remedies which Landlord may have, or Landlord may pursue
any other such remedy or remedies in lieu of applying the Security Deposit.  If all or any part of the Security Deposit is applied to an obligation of Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall immediately upon request by Landlord restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.  Tenant shall not have the right to call upon Landlord to apply all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure any default or fulfill any obligation of Tenant, but such use shall be solely in the discretion of Landlord.  Upon any conveyance by Landlord of its interest under this Lease, the Security Deposit may be delivered by Landlord to Landlord’s grantee or transferee.  Upon any delivery, Tenant hereby releases Landlord herein named of any and all liability with respect to such Security Deposit and agrees to look solely to such grantee or transferee.  It is further understood that this provision shall also apply to subsequent grantees and transferees.

ARTICLE XII.  ERISA MATTERS

Tenant acknowledges that it has been advised that an affiliate of the Landlord is a collective investment fund (the “Fund”) which holds the assets of one or more employee benefit plans or retirement arrangements which are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and/or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (each a “Plan”), and with respect to which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) is the Trustee and that, as a result, Landlord may be prohibited by law from engaging in certain transactions.

Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the date hereof, the only Plans whose assets are invested in the Fund which, together with the interests of any other Plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization, represent a collective interest in the Fund in excess of ten percent (10%) of the total interests in the Fund (each, a “10% Plan”) are referenced on Exhibit G (collectively, the “Existing 10% Plans”) hereto.

Tenant represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, and at all times while it is a Tenant under this Lease, one of the following statements is, and will continue to be, true:  (1) Tenant is not a “party in interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) (each a “Party in Interest”) with respect to the Existing 10% Plans or, (2) if Tenant is a Party in Interest, that:

 

37

 

 

 

neither Tenant nor its “affiliate” (as defined in Section V(c) of PTCE 84-14, “Affiliate”) has, or during the immediately preceding one (1) year has, exercised the authority to either:  (i) appoint or terminate JPMCB as the qualified professional asset manager (as defined in Section V(a) of PTCE 84-14, “QPAM”) of any of the assets of the Existing 10% Plan with respect to which Tenant or its Affiliate is a Party in Interest; or (ii) negotiate the terms of the management agreement with JPMCB, including renewals or modifications thereof, on behalf of the Existing 10% Plan; and

neither Tenant nor any entity controlling, or controlled by, Tenant owns a five percent (5%) or more interest (within the meaning of PTCE 84-14, “5% Interest”) in J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

If Landlord or the Fund notifies Tenant in writing that a Plan other than the Existing 10% Plan may become a 10% Plan, Tenant will, within 10 days of such notification, inform the Fund in writing as to whether it can make the representations in clause (i) or (ii) of subsection (c) of this Section with respect to such prospective 10% Plan.  Thereafter, if based on such representations made by Tenant such Plan becomes a 10% Plan, Tenant represents and warrants that, at all times during the period Tenant is a tenant under the Lease, the statements set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of subsection (c) will be true with respect to such 10% Plan.

In the event that Tenant becomes aware that any statement in subsection (c) is no longer true with respect to a 10% Plan, Tenant will immediately notify Landlord, and Tenant will cooperate with Landlord and/or the Fund in its efforts to take whatever action is necessary under ERISA to rectify the situation.

In the event of any such connection, Tenant agrees to an increase in the BASE ANNUAL ELECTRICITY CHARGE such increase to be effective as of the date of any such connection.  If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree thereon, such amount shall be conclusively determined by a
reputable independent electrical engineer or consulting firm to be selected by Landlord and paid equally by both parties, and the cost to Landlord will be included in Landlord’s Operating Costs provided in Section 4.2 hereof.

 

	  	D. 	  	If
at any time after the date of this Lease, the rates at which Landlord purchases

 If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree thereon, such amount shall be conclusively
determined by a reputable independent electrical engineer or consulting firm to be

costs, if any, as such public utility may impose in connection with the installation of

such other installations as such public utility may require, as a condition of providing
comparable electrical service to Tenant; and (4) Tenant shall thereafter pay, directly to
the utility furnishing the same, all charges for electrical services to the Premises.

consideration of the mutual covenants and provisions set forth below, the receipt and
adequacy of which are acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

Upon closing of the PSA, Kodiak

Corporation, as Farmee (SFA). 

     	1) 	
          Kodiak agrees to and shall issue to the order of the Seller 1,000,000 shares of
          Kodiak Common Stock (the Transaction Shares”) for 100% of the Seller’s
          interest in the TFA and the SFA, including all assets associated therewith and
          covered thereby. The

     	3) 	
          It is expressly understood that the Seller will convey and relinquish all rights
          under the TFA and SFA to Kodiak, and no continuing interests will be retained by
          the Seller. 

          

     	4) 	
          The Seller represents and warrants to the Buyer that its interest in the
          Properties, and all related agreements to which the Seller is a party, are in
          good standing and the Seller has the right and authority to transfer its
          interest in the Properties pursuant to this Agreement. 

          

     	5) 	
          Upon closing, Kodiak and the Seller also agree that all contractual obligations
          between the parties under the September 24, 2001 Letter Agreement, by and
          between the parties, shall be considered fulfilled and there shall be no further
          obligations between the parties. 

          

     	6) 	
          CP agrees to enter into a promissory note with Kodiak in the principal amount of
          US$264,000 effective June 1, 2003; such amount representing the drilling costs
          incurred by CP on behalf Kodiak ($220,000) and the associated penalty clause
          ($44,000) under the Letter Agreement dated May 31, 2002. The promissory note
          will carry an interest rate of Wells Fargo Bank Prime plus 1%. Repayment terms
          will be subject to Kodiak financing ability and will be negotiated by the Board
          of Directors for Kodiak. 

          

     	7)
