THIS INDENTURE OF LEASE (this “Lease”) is hereby made and entered into on the Execution Date by and between Landlord and Tenant.

 

This Lease and all of its terms, covenants, representations, warranties, agreements and conditions are in all respects subject and subordinate to that certain Master Lease Agreement dated as of May 15, 2014 by and between MIT 620 Memorial LLC (“Fee Owner”), as landlord, and Landlord, as tenant (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Ground Lease”), a redacted copy of which has been delivered to Tenant.  Tenant acknowledges notice and full knowledge of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease.

 

Each reference in this Lease to any of the terms and titles contained in any Exhibit attached to this Lease shall be deemed and construed to incorporate the data stated under that term or title in such Exhibit.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them as set forth in the Lease Summary Sheet which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

1.                                      LEASE GRANT; TERM; APPURTENANT RIGHTS; EXCLUSIONS.

 

1.1                               Lease Grant.  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises upon and subject to terms and conditions of this Lease, for a term of years commencing on the Term Commencement Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, ending on the Expiration Date (the “Initial Term”:  the Initial Term and any duly exercised Extension Terms are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Term”).

 

1.2                               Extension Term.

 

(a)                                 Provided (i) Tenant, an Affiliated Entity (hereinafter defined) and/or a Successor (hereinafter defined) is/are then occupying at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Premises on the date of the Extension Notice (hereinafter defined); and (ii) there is no Event of Default (1) as of the date of the Extension Notice (hereinafter defined), and (2) at the commencement of the Extension Term (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term for one (1) additional term of three (3) years (the “Extension Term”), commencing as of the expiration of the Initial Term.  Tenant must exercise such option to extend by giving Landlord written notice (the “Extension Notice”) on or before the date that is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then-current term of this Lease, time being of the essence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may nullify Tenant’s exercise of its option to extend the Term by written notice to Tenant (the “Nullification Notice”) if (A) on the date Landlord receives the applicable Extension Notice, an event then exists which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder and (B) Tenant fails to cure the default described in the Nullification Notice within the applicable cure period set forth in Section 20.1 after receipt of the Nullification Notice (Landlord hereby agreeing to acknowledge in writing if Tenant does cure such default within such applicable cure period, in which event the Nullification Notice will be of no force and effect).  Upon the timely giving of the Extension Notice, the Term shall be deemed extended upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent during the Extension Term shall be calculated in accordance with this Section 1.2, Landlord shall have no obligation to construct or renovate the Premises and Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term.  If Tenant fails to timely

 

1

 

give the Extension Notice, as aforesaid, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term.  Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant’s proper and timely exercise of such option to extend the Term shall be self executing, the parties shall promptly execute a lease amendment reflecting such Extension Term after Tenant exercises such option.  The execution of such lease amendment shall not be deemed to waive any of the conditions to Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Section 1.2.

 

(b)                                 The Base Rent during the Extension Term (the “Extension Term Base Rent”) shall be determined in accordance with the process described hereafter.  Extension Term Base Rent shall be the greater of (i) Base Rent for the last Rent Year of the prior term, or (ii) the fair market rental value of the Premises then demised to Tenant as of the commencement of the Extension Term as determined in accordance with the process described below, for renewals of first-class combination laboratory and office space in the East Cambridge/Cambridgeport area of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, with the length of the Extension Term and the credit standing of Tenant to be taken into account.  Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Extension Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of its determination of the Extension Term Base Rent for the Extension Term.  Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent (“Tenant’s Response Notice”).  If Tenant fails timely to deliver Tenant’s Response Notice, Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent shall be binding on Tenant.

 

(c)                                  If and only if Tenant’s Response Notice is timely delivered to Landlord and indicates both that Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent and desires to submit the matter to arbitration, then the Extension Term Base Rent shall be determined in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Section 1.2(c).  In such event, within ten (10) days after receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s Response Notice indicating Tenant’s desire to submit the determination of the Extension Term Base Rent to arbitration, Tenant and Landlord shall each notify the other, in writing, of their respective selections of an appraiser (respectively, “Landlord’s Appraiser” and “Tenant’s Appraiser”).  Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser shall then jointly select a third appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”) within ten (10) days of their appointment.  All of the appraisers selected shall be individuals with at least five (5) consecutive years’ commercial appraisal experience in the area in which the Premises are located, shall be members of the Appraisal Institute (M.A.I.), and, in the case of the Third Appraiser, shall not have acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant within five (5) years of his or her selection.  The three appraisers shall determine the Extension Term Base Rent in accordance with the requirements and criteria set forth in Section 1.2(b) above, employing the method commonly known as Baseball Arbitration, whereby Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser each sets forth its determination of the Extension Term Base Rent as defined above, and the Third Appraiser must select one or the other (it being understood that the Third Appraiser shall be expressly prohibited from selecting a compromise figure).  Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser shall deliver their determinations of the Extension Term Base Rent to the Third Appraiser within five (5) days of the appointment of the Third Appraiser and the Third Appraiser shall render his or her decision within ten (10) days after receipt of both of the other two determinations of the Extension Term Base Rent.  The Third Appraiser’s decision shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant.  Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and shall share equally in the cost of the Third Appraiser.

1.3                               Notice of Lease.  Neither party shall record this Lease, but each of the parties hereto agrees to join in the execution, in recordable form, of a statutory notice of lease and/or written declaration in which shall be stated the Term Commencement Date, the number and length of the Extension Terms and the Expiration Date, which notice of lease may be recorded by Tenant with the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds and/or filed with the Registry District of the Land Court, as appropriate (collectively, the “Registry”) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  If a notice of lease was previously recorded with the Registry, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice of termination of lease and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, execute and deliver the same to Landlord for Landlord’s execution and recordation with the Registry.

 

1.4                               Appurtenant Rights.

 

(a)                                 Common Areas.  Subject to the terms of this Lease and the Rules and Regulations (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, rights to use in common with others entitled thereto, the areas designated from time to time for the common use of Tenant and other tenants of the Property (such areas are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Areas”).  As of the Execution Date, the Common Areas include:  (i) the common lobbies, elevators (passenger and freight), loading docks, hallways and stairways of the Building serving the Premises, (ii) common walkways necessary for access to the Building and on-site areas for bicycle parking, (iii) if the Premises include less than the entire rentable area of any floor, the common toilets and other common facilities of such floor; (iv) common shower facilities in the Building; (v) common conference room, gathering areas and kitchenette in the Building; and (vi) other areas designated by Landlord from time to time for the common use of Tenant and other tenants of the Building; and no other appurtenant rights or easements.  Landlord shall not change the Common Areas in a way as to materially alter or materially diminish the aggregate quality or utility thereof.

 

(b)                                 Parking.  During the Term, commencing on the Term Commencement Date, Landlord shall, subject to the terms hereof, make available twelve (12) parking spaces for Tenant’s use in the parking areas serving the Building (which are, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1.4(b), located in the surface lot in front of the Building).  The number of parking spaces in the parking areas reserved for Tenant, as modified pursuant to this Lease or as otherwise permitted by Landlord, are hereinafter referred to as the “Parking Spaces.” Tenant shall have no right to hypothecate or encumber the Parking Spaces, and shall not sublet, assign, or otherwise transfer the Parking Spaces other than to employees of Tenant occupying the Premises or to a Successor (hereinafter defined), an Affiliated Entity (hereinafter defined) or a transferee pursuant to an approved Transfer under Section 13 of this Lease.  Throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord (or at Landlord’s direction, directly to the parking operator(2)) for all of the Parking Spaces at the then-current prevailing rate, as such rate may vary from time to time; provided, however, that such rates shall be commercially reasonable (as reasonably determined with reference to the market rate for comparable parking spaces in the vicinity of the Premises).  As of the Execution Date, the monthly charge for parking is Two Hundred Dollars ($200) per Parking Space per month.  If, for any reason, Tenant shall fail timely to pay the charge for any of said Parking Spaces, and if such default continues for ten (10) days after

 

(2) e.g., in the event that the Landlord has leased or subleased the parking areas to a third party

 

3

 

Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof, Tenant shall have no further right to the Parking Spaces for which Tenant failed to pay the charge under this Section 1.4(b) and Landlord may allocate such Parking Spaces for use by other tenants of the Property free and clear of Tenant’s rights under this Section 1.4(b).  Said Parking Spaces will be on an unassigned, non-reserved basis, and shall be subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as may be in effect for the use of the parking areas from time to time (including, without limitation, Landlord’s right, without additional charge to Tenant above the prevailing rate for Parking Spaces, to institute a valet or attendant-managed parking system), it being understood and agreed that such rules and regulations shall not materially and adversely impact Tenant’s parking rights hereunder.  Reserved and handicap parking spaces must be honored.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with the exercise of Landlord’s rights pursuant to Section 2.2 below, Landlord shall have the right to relocate the Parking Spaces from time to time to other property owned or controlled by Landlord or its affiliates, so long as such other property is within 1,000 feet of the Land.  Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the Parking Lease (as defined in the Ground Lease) is in full force and effect as of the Execution Date.

 

(c)                                  During the Term, Landlord grants to Tenant a non-exclusive license to use a portion (specified by Landlord) of the Building risers and other Building communications pathways designated by Landlord (“Communications Pathways”) for the installation, maintenance, operation, replacement and/or removal at Tenant’s sole expense of certain cables, conduits, innerducts and connecting hardware approved by Landlord (any such cables, conduits, innerducts and connecting hardware installed within the Communications Pathways, as the same may be modified, altered or replaced during the Term, are collectively referred to herein as the “Connecting Cables”).  Any such installation must be performed in accordance with the terms of Section 11 below.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable access to the tel/data room on the first floor of the Building upon Tenant’s request therefor.  With respect to each cable placed in the Communications Pathways from and after the Execution Date, Tenant shall label such cable (at the floor of the Building where the cable originates and the floor where such cable terminates and at each access point in between at which such cable is pulled) with identification information as required by Landlord.  Landlord makes no warranties or representations to Tenant as to the suitability of the Communications Pathways for the installation and operation of the Connecting Cables and Tenant hereby accepts the same in their as is, where is condition with all faults on the date hereof.  In the event that at any time during the Term, Landlord determines, in its sole but bona fide business judgment, that the operation and/or periodic testing of the Connecting Cables interferes with the operation of the Building or the business operations of any of the occupants of the Building, then Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord, upon the expiration of a 24-hour period during which Tenant may attempt to correct any such interference, cease all further operation of the Connecting Cables other than testing reasonably necessary to remedy such interference, which testing shall occur after normal business hours.  Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require Tenant, at Landlord’s sole expense, to relocate within, on or in the Building any or all of the Connecting Cables in accordance with plans reasonably approved by Landlord within thirty (30) days of such request (or sooner in the event of an emergency).  Tenant is expressly forbidden to serve other tenants or occupants of the Building, to serve any locations outside the Building, or to resell any communications services without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted in Landlord’s sole discretion.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this license, Tenant shall remove the Connecting Cables from the Communications Pathways and restore the Building to its condition immediately

 

4

 

prior to the installation thereof, which obligations shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  Landlord may, upon written notice (which notice shall not be required in the event of an emergency), suspend this license and/or relocate the Connecting Cables in the event of any repair or construction affecting the Communications Pathways, provided, however, after the completion of such repair and/or construction, this license shall be reinstated with such reasonable modifications as Landlord may require to ensure consistency with the new use of the Communications Pathways.

 

1.5                               Tenant’s Access.

 

(a)                                 From and after the Term Commencement Date and until the end of the Term, Tenant shall have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, subject to Legal Requirements, the Rules and Regulations, the terms of this Lease, Landlord’s Force Majeure (hereinafter defined) and matters of record of which Landlord has provided Tenant with written notice.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall have the right to access the Premises (at Tenant’s sole risk, except to the extent arising as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties) prior to the Term Commencement Date for purposes reasonably related to the performance of Alterations (hereinafter defined) performed in accordance with Section 11 hereof, provided such access does not materially interfere with the preparation for or performance of Landlord’s Work (hereinafter defined).  Tenant shall, prior to the first entry to the Premises pursuant to this Section 1.5(b), provide Landlord with certificates of insurance evidencing that the insurance required by Section 14 hereof is in full force and effect and covering any person or entity entering the Building.  Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold the Landlord Parties (hereinafter defined) harmless from and against any and all Claims (hereinafter defined) for injury to persons or property resulting from or relating to Tenant’s access to the Premises prior to the Term Commencement Date as provided under this Section 1.5(b) except to the extent arising as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties.  Tenant shall coordinate any access to the Premises prior to the Term Commencement Date with Landlord’s property manager.

 

1.6                               Exclusions.  The following are expressly excluded from the Premises and reserved to Landlord:  all the perimeter walls of the Premises (except the inner surfaces thereof), the Common Areas, and any space in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, pipes, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other utilities, sinks or other Building facilities, and the use of all of the foregoing, except as expressly permitted pursuant to Sections 1.4(a) and 1.4(c) above.

 

2.                                      RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD.

 

2.1                               Additions and Alterations.  Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to make such changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Property (including the Premises but, with respect to the Premises, only for purposes of repairs, maintenance, replacements and other rights expressly reserved to Landlord herein) and the fixtures and equipment paid for in whole or in part by Landlord therein, as well as in or to the street entrances and/or the Common Areas, as it may deem necessary or desirable,

 

5

 

provided, however, that there is no material increase in Tenant’s obligations under this Lease nor any obstruction of access to, or material interference with the use and enjoyment of, the Premises by Tenant.  Subject to the foregoing, Landlord expressly reserves the right to temporarily close all, or any portion, of the Common Areas for the purpose of making repairs or changes thereto.

 

2.2                               Additions to the Property.  Landlord may at any time or from time to time construct additional improvements in all or any part of the Property, including, without limitation, adding additional buildings or changing the location or arrangement of any improvement in or on the Property or all or any part of the Common Areas, or add or deduct any land to or from the Property; provided that there shall be no material increase in Tenant’s obligations under this Lease nor any obstruction of access to, or material interference with the use and enjoyment of, the Premises by Tenant in connection with the exercise of the foregoing reserved rights.

 

2.3                               Name and Address of Building.  Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time to change the name or address of the Building and/or the Property, provided Landlord gives Tenant at least three (3) months’ prior written notice thereof.

 

2.4                               Landlord’s Access.  Subject to the terms hereof, Tenant shall upon as much advance notice as is practical under the circumstances, and in any event at least forty-eight (48) hours’ prior written notice (except that no notice shall be required in emergency situations), (a) permit Landlord and any holder of a Mortgage (hereinafter defined) (each such holder, a “Mortgagee”), and their agents, employees and contractors, to access and enter upon the Premises at all reasonable hours for the purposes of inspection, making repairs, replacements or improvements in or to the Premises or the Building or equipment therein (including, without limitation, sanitary, electrical, heating, air conditioning or other systems), complying with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, statutes, by-laws, court decisions and orders and requirements of all public authorities (collectively, “Legal Requirements”), or exercising any right reserved to Landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation, during the performance of repairs and maintenance, the right to take upon or through, or to temporarily (and only for the period during which Landlord diligently performs such maintenance and/or repair) keep and store within the Premises (in a portion of the Premises designated by Tenant not to exceed 250 square feet) all necessary materials, tools and equipment at the sole risk and hazard of Landlord); (b) permit Landlord and its agents and employees, at reasonable times, to show the Premises during normal business hours (i.e. Monday - Friday 8 A.M. - 6 P.M., excluding holidays and weekends) to any prospective Mortgagee or purchaser of the Building and/or the Property or of the interest of Landlord therein, and, during the last nine (9) months of the Term, prospective tenants; (c) permit Landlord and its agents, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to perform environmental audits, environmental site investigations and environmental site assessments (“Site Assessments”) in, on, under and at the Premises and the Land, it being understood that Landlord shall repair any damage arising as a result of the Site Assessments, and such Site Assessments may include both above and below the ground testing and such other tests as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct the Site Assessments; and (d) in case any excavation shall be made for building or improvements or for any other purpose upon the land adjacent to or near the Premises, permit Landlord, and/or the person or persons, firms or corporations causing or making such excavation to enter upon the Premises for the purpose of doing such work as Landlord or such person or persons, firms or corporation shall deem to be

 

6

 

necessary to preserve the walls or structures of the Building from injury, and to protect the Building by proper securing of foundations.  The parties agree and acknowledge that, despite reasonable and customary precautions (which Landlord agrees it shall exercise), any property or equipment in the Premises of a delicate, fragile or vulnerable nature may nevertheless be damaged in the course of the aforementioned actions being performed.  Accordingly, Tenant shall take reasonable protective precautions with unusually fragile, vulnerable or sensitive property and equipment.  Except to the extent arising as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant Parties, Landlord shall, subject to Section 14.5 below, defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all Claims resulting from or relating to access to the Premises as provided under this Section 2.4.

 

2.5                               Pipes, Ducts and Conduits.  Tenant shall permit Landlord to erect, use, maintain and relocate pipes, ducts and conduits in and through the Premises, provided the same do not materially (a) reduce the floor area, (b) adversely affect the appearance thereof, (c) increase Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or (d) obstruct access to the Premises.

 

2.6                               Minimize Interference.  Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord, at no cost to Tenant, as reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of Landlord’s rights under this Section 2.  Tenant further agrees that dust, noise, vibration, temporary closures of Common Areas, or other inconvenience or annoyance resulting from the exercise of Landlord’s rights under Section 2.1 and 2.2 shall not be deemed to be a breach of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, so long as Landlord shall, except in the event of an emergency, use reasonable efforts, consistent with accepted construction practice when applicable, to avoid unreasonably interfering with the conduct of Tenant’s business and Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, all in a manner consistent with similar, operating first class office and laboratory buildings in the East Cambridge/Cambridgeport area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of the space leased by Tenant at the Property under this Lease be deprived of safe and reasonable access or rendered untenantable for the Permitted Uses by reason of Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this Section 2.

 

3.                                      CONDITION OF PREMISES; CONSTRUCTION.

 

3.1                               Condition of Premises.  On the Term Commencement Date, the Premises shall be broom-clean, the Premises and the Common Areas shall comply with Legal Requirements (including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act) and the Building structure and the Building systems serving the Premises and Common Areas shall be in good working order, condition and repair.  Subject to the foregoing, and subject further to Landlord’s obligation to perform Landlord’s Work (hereinafter defined) in accordance with this Section 3, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant is leasing the Premises in their “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” condition and with all faults on the Execution Date, without representations or warranties, express or implied, in fact or by law, of any kind, and without recourse to Landlord.

 

3.2                               Landlord’s Work.

 

(a)                                 Subject to delays due to governmental regulation, unusual scarcity of or inability to obtain labor or materials, labor difficulties, casualty or other causes reasonably beyond Landlord’s control (collectively “Landlord’s Force Majeure”) and subject to any act or

 

7

 

omission by Tenant and/or Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, licensees and/or subtenants (collectively with Tenant, the “Tenant Parties”) which causes an actual delay in the performance of Landlord’s Work (a “Tenant Delay”).  Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall diligently prosecute to completion, the work (“Landlord’s Work”) more particularly shown in the permit set prepared by Landlord’s architect, which permit set shall be based on the schematic plans attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and made a part hereof (the “Schematics”) and which permit set shall take into account Tenant’s input at weekly design meetings (as such permit set may be amended or modified pursuant to Section 3.2(b) below, the “Permit Set”).  Landlord shall use diligent efforts to provide a copy of the Permit Set to Tenant on or before March 6, 2015 so long as Tenant provides all required information regarding Tenant’s lab equipment (size, layout, utility requirements, etc.) on or before February 20,2015.  Landlord shall perform Landlord’s Work in a good and workmanlike manner, and shall notify Tenant in writing in reasonable detail promptly after becoming aware of any Tenant Delay.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall have the right, in accordance herewith, to submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) change proposals to amend or modify the Permit Set (each, a “Change Proposal”).  Landlord agrees to respond to any such Change Proposal within five (5) business days after the submission thereof by Tenant (unless Landlord has previously advised Tenant that a longer time period for such response is reasonably necessary due to the nature and scope of the Change Proposal, together with Landlord’s good faith estimate as to the amount of additional time that will be necessary, or the fact that the information provided by Tenant in the Change Proposal is insufficient for the purposes of enabling Landlord to make the determination set forth herein), and if approved by Landlord, advising Tenant of any anticipated increase or decrease in costs associated with such Change Proposal (“Anticipated Costs”), as well as an estimate of any delay or time savings which would likely result in the completion of Landlord’s Work if a Change Proposal is made pursuant thereto (“Landlord’s Change Order Response”).  If Landlord does not approve any Change Proposal, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reasonably detailed explanation thereof in writing.  Tenant shall have the right to then approve or withdraw such Change Proposal within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s Change Order Response.  If Tenant fails to respond to Landlord’s Change Order Response within such five (5) business day period, such Change Proposal shall be deemed withdrawn.  If Tenant approves Landlord’s Change Order Response, then (a) such Change Proposal shall be deemed a “Change Order” hereunder, and (b) Landlord shall perform the work described in the Change Order as part of Landlord’s Work on all the terms and conditions applicable to Landlord’s Work except as expressly set forth herein with respect to Tenant’s payment obligation.  Any actual delay in the substantial completion of Landlord’s Work resulting from Change Proposals (whether approved or not) shall constitute a Tenant Delay.

 

(c)                                  Permitting.  Landlord shall obtain all permits for construction of Landlord’s Work.  The cost of all permits for construction of Landlord’s Work (and the cost of obtaining the same) shall be included in the Work Costs.  Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Landlord to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy.

(d)                                 Remedies for Late Delivery.  Subject to Landlord’s Force Majeure and Tenant Delays, if the Term Commencement Date has not occurred on or before (i) September 25, 2015, then the Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed one day for each day after such date that the Term Commencement Date does not occur(3), and (ii) November 25,2015, then Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease by thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord (provided that such termination notice shall be of no force and effect if the Term Commencement Date occurs within such 30 day period).  The remedies set forth in this Section 3.2(d) are Tenant’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies if the Term Commencement Date does not occur on or before August 25,2015.

 

3.3                               Substantial Completion; Punchlist Items.

 

(a)                                 Landlord’s Work shall be deemed “Substantially Complete” on the later to occur of (i) the date that Landlord’s Work has been completed as certified in writing by Landlord’s architect, except for Punchlist Items (hereinafter defined), and (ii) a certificate of occupancy (temporary or permanent) for the Premises shall have been issued by the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts; provided, however, to the extent Landlord is delayed in obtaining such certificate of occupancy because of the acts or omissions of Tenant (which omissions may include, without limitation, if Tenant must first install its furniture and/or perform any Alterations not included in Landlord’s Work), then for purposes only of calculating the Term Commencement Date, Landlord’s Work will be deemed to have been Substantially Complete on the date on which the applicable certificate of occupancy (temporary or permanent) would have been issued but for such delays; and provided further that if a temporary certificate of occupancy is issued with respect to the Premises, Landlord shall, subject to delays caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant, diligently pursue a permanent certificate of occupancy therefor as soon as reasonably possible.

 

(b)                                 Promptly following delivery of the Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Work substantially complete, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a list prepared by Landlord’s architect (the “Punchlist”) of outstanding items (the “Punchlist Items”) which (a) need to be performed to complete Landlord’s Work, (b) do not impair Landlord’s ability to obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises and (c) do not materially impair Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for the Permitted Uses.  Subject to Landlord’s Force Majeure and Tenant Delays, Landlord shall, unless otherwise specified on the Punchlist, complete all Punchlist Items within forty-five (45) days of the date of the Punchlist.

 

3.4                               Cost of Landlord’s Work.

 

(a)                                 Landlord’s Contribution.  As an inducement to Tenant’s entering into this Lease, Landlord shall pay for up to Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Eight Hundred Fifteen Dollars ($650,815.00) (“Landlord’s Contribution”) of the costs incurred in connection with the performance of Landlord’s Work other than the following costs (collectively, “Excluded Construction Costs”), which shall be paid for by Tenant within thirty (30) days of demand from

 

(3) For illustration purposes only, if the Term Commencement Date occurs on September 30,2015, then the Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed 5 days and shall occur on December 5,2015 (which is 2 months and 5 days after the Term Commencement Date)

time to time (but in no event more often than monthly):  (i) the cost of acquiring or installing any of Tenant’s Property (hereinafter defined), including without limitation telecommunications and computer equipment and all associated wiring and cabling, any de-mountable decorations, artwork and partitions, signs, and trade fixtures, or (ii) the cost of any fixtures or Alterations that will be removed at the end of the Term.  Landlord shall not charge any supervisory or management fees with respect to Landlord’s Work, provided, however, that the costs of any third party construction/project managers) engaged by Landlord shall be included in the costs of Landlord’s Work.

 

(b)                                 Responsibility for Costs.

 

(i)                                     For purposes hereof, “Work Costs” means (A) all costs incurred in connection with Landlord’s Work, including without limitation the costs of designing, permitting and performing Landlord’s Work, as affected by any Change Orders and any changes made in accordance with Section 3.4(b)(ii) below, less (B) the Excluded Construction Costs.

 

(ii)                                  Landlord shall provide Tenant with a detailed cost estimate based on the original Permit Set (the “Cost Estimate”).  The Cost Estimate shall include a line item for the cost of any construction/project managers).  Tenant shall have a period of two (2) business days after receipt of the Cost Estimate, time being of the essence, to notify Landlord whether Tenant approves such Cost Estimate, or that Tenant wishes to conduct value engineering in order to reduce the cost of Landlord’s Work (if Tenant does not timely provide such notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have (A) approved such Cost Estimate, and (B) elected not to conduct such value engineering).  If Tenant elects to conduct value engineering, then (i) any delays to substantial completion of Landlord’s Work arising from such value engineering shall be deemed to be Tenant Delays, and (ii) until mutually approved (or deemed approved), Landlord and Tenant shall confer and negotiate reasonably and in good faith to reach agreement on the Cost Estimate and the Permit Set on which the Cost Estimate is based.  The Cost Estimate approved (or deemed approved) by Tenant is herein referred to as the “Final Cost Estimate.”

 

(iii)                               If the Final Cost Estimate discloses that the Work Costs exceed Landlord’s Contribution (such excess, the “Excess Costs”), Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (the “Cost Notice”) within thirty (30) days after approval of the Final Cost Estimate whether Tenant elects to (A) reimburse Landlord for the Excess Costs in accordance with Section 3.4(b)(iv) below, or (B) increase Base Rent by an amount no greater than the lesser of (1) the Excess Costs, or (2) Fifteen Dollars ($15) per rentable square foot of the Premises, which increase in Base Rent shall be (y) effective as of the later to occur of the Rent Commencement Date or the first full calendar month after the Final Reconciliation is delivered to Tenant, and (z) calculated as if such Excess Costs were a self-amortizing loan with an interest rate of 8% per annum and amortized on a direct reduction basis over the balance of the Initial Term (and if Tenant fails to notify Landlord as aforesaid, then Tenant shall be deemed to have elected to increase Base Rent as aforesaid).  If the Work Costs exceed Landlord’s Contribution by more than Fifteen Dollars ($15) per rentable square foot of the Premises (such excess, the “Tenant’s Costs”) and Tenant elects (or is deemed to have elected) to increase Base Rent as aforesaid, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Tenant’s Costs in accordance with Section 3.4(b)(iv) below.

 

10

 

(iv)                              If the Cost Notice indicates that Tenant has elected to reimburse Landlord for the Excess Costs, or if Tenant elects (or is deemed to have elected) to increase Base Rent pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(iii) above and there are Tenant’s Costs, then Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after demand from time to time (but in no event more than monthly), Tenant’s Proportion (hereinafter defined) of the Work Costs reflected on each requisition from Landlord, to which shall be attached invoices and/or other documentation supporting the requisition.  “Tenant’s Proportion” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the estimated Excess Costs or Tenant’s Costs, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the estimated Work Costs.  Within ninety (90) days after final completion of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant a final reconciliation in sufficient detail to reasonably determine actual Work Costs (including without limitation all Punchlist Items) (the “Final Reconciliation”).

 

4.                                      USE OF PREMISES.

 

4.1                               Permitted Uses.  During the Term, Tenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Uses and for no other purposes.  Service and utility areas (whether or not a part of the Premises) shall be used only for the particular purpose for which they are designed.  All corridor doors, when not in use, shall be kept closed.

5.                                      RENT; ADDITIONAL RENT.

 

5.1                               Base Rent.  During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent in equal monthly installments, in advance and without demand on the first day of each month for and with respect to such month.  The payment of Base Rent and additional rent and other charges reserved and covenanted to be paid under this Lease with respect to the Premises (collectively, “Rent”) shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date, and shall be prorated for any partial months.  Rent shall be payable to Landlord or, if Landlord shall so direct Tenant in writing, to Landlord’s agent or nominee, in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment.

 

5.2                               Operating Costs.

 

(a)                                 “Operating Costs” shall mean all costs incurred and expenditures of whatever nature made by Landlord in the operation and management of the Building or reasonably allocated to the Building, including without limitation any costs for utilities supplied to the Common Areas, the costs of maintaining the MWRA permit(s) for the Building, and any costs for repair and replacements, cleaning and maintenance of the Common Areas, related equipment, facilities and appurtenances and HVAC equipment, a commercially reasonable management fee paid to Landlord’s property manager, the reasonable costs of Landlord’s management office for the Property, the cost of operating any amenities in the Property available to all tenants of the Property and any subsidy provided by Landlord to tenants including Tenant for or with respect to any such amenity.  For costs and expenditures made by Landlord in connection with the operation, management, repair, replacement, maintenance and insurance of the Building as a whole, Landlord shall make a reasonable allocation thereof between the retail and non-retail portions of the Building, if applicable.  To the extent that a cost included in Operating Costs is also allocable to property other than the Property, such cost shall be equitably allocated to each parcel of property which benefits from such cost.  Operating Costs shall not include Taxes (hereinafter defined) or Excluded Costs (hereinafter defined).  Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation, from time to time, to reasonably and equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Costs among different tenants of the Building (for example, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, based in whole or in part on shared or similar use of particular systems or equipment).

 

12

 

(b)                                 “Excluded Costs” shall be defined as (i) any mortgage charges (including interest, principal, points and fees); (ii) brokerage commissions or other costs incurred in procuring tenants or leasing space in the Property; (iii) salaries of personnel not directly employed in the management/operation of the Property or above the grade of portfolio manager; (iv) the cost of work done or services, concessions, subsidies or amenities provided by Landlord for a particular tenant other than Tenant; (v) subject to Subsection 5.2(h) below, capital expenditures; (vi) the costs of Landlord’s Work and any contributions made by Landlord to any tenant of the Property in connection with the build-out of its premises; (vii) franchise or income taxes imposed on Landlord; (viii) items and services for which tenants of the Building are separately charged, including without limitation costs paid directly by individual tenants to Landlord or to suppliers, including tenant electricity, telephone and other utility costs; (ix) increases in premiums for insurance when such increase is caused by the use of the Building by Landlord or any other tenant of the Building; (x) maintenance and repair of capital items not a part of the Building or the Property; (xi) depreciation of the Building; (xii) costs relating to maintaining Landlord’s existence as a corporation, partnership or other entity; (xiii) advertising and other fees and costs incurred in procuring tenants; (xiv) the cost of any items for which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance, condemnation awards, refund, rebate or otherwise, and any expenses for repairs or maintenance to the extent covered by warranties, guaranties and service contracts; (xv) costs incurred (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any disputes between Landlord and its employees, between Landlord and Building management, between Landlord and other tenants or occupants or prospective tenants or occupants of the Building (including without limitation costs associated with the default, act or omission of any of the foregoing parties other than Tenant) or between Landlord and its abutters; (xvi) rent under the Ground Lease; (xvii) fines and penalties payable by tenants of the property other than Tenant; (xvii) fines and penalties incurred due to violations by Landlord of Legal Requirements or breaches of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; (xviii) costs arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties; (xix) the cost of testing, remediation or removal of Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined) in the Building or on the Property required by Environmental Laws (hereinafter defined), provided however, that with respect to the testing, remediation or removal of (A) any material or substance located in the Building on the Execution Date and which, as of the Execution Date, is not considered, as a matter of law, to be a Hazardous Material, but which is subsequently determined to be a Hazardous Material as a matter of law, and (B) any material or substance located in the Building after the Execution Date and which, when placed in the Building, was not considered, as a matter of law, to be a Hazardous Material, but which is subsequently determined to be a Hazardous Material as a matter of law, the costs thereof may be included in Operating Costs; (xx) costs incurred to comply with Legal Requirements in effect as of the Execution Date; (xxi) Landlord’s charitable or political contributions; (xxii) any “above-standard” cleaning including construction clean-up or special cleanings associated with parties or events (provided that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such above-standard cleaning required as a result of the acts or omissions of any of the Tenant Parties); and (xxiii) costs of compliance with Legal Requirements in effect on the Execution Date.

 

(c)                                  “Capital Interest Rate” shall be defined as an annual rate of either one percentage point over the AA Bond rate (Standard & Poor’s corporate composite or, if unavailable, its equivalent) as reported in the financial press at the time the capital expenditure is

 

13

 

made or, if the capital item is acquired through third party financing, then the actual (including fluctuating) rate paid by Landlord in financing the acquisition of such capital item.

 

(d)                                 “Annual Charge Off” shall be defined as the annual amount of principal and interest payments which would be required to repay a loan (“Capital Loan”) in equal monthly installments over the Useful Life (hereinafter defined), of the capital item in question on a direct reduction basis at an annual interest rate equal to the Capital Interest Rate, where the initial principal balance is the cost of the capital item in question.

 

(e)                                  “Useful Life” shall be reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with sound accounting principles and practices consistently applied.

 

(f)                                   Payment of Operating Costs.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs.  Landlord may make a good faith estimate of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs for any fiscal year or part thereof during the Term, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the Rent Commencement Date and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs for such fiscal year and/or part thereof divided by the number of months therein.  No more often than quarterly, Landlord may estimate and re-estimate Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs and deliver a copy of Landlord’s good faith estimate or re-estimate to Tenant.  Thereafter, the monthly installments of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the fiscal year in question, Tenant shall have paid all of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs as estimated by Landlord.  Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as herein provided when actual Operating Costs are available for each fiscal year.

 

(g)                                  Annual Reconciliation.  Landlord shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, deliver to Tenant a reasonably detailed statement of the actual amount of Operating Costs for such fiscal year (“Year End Statement”).  Failure of Landlord to provide the Year End Statement within the time prescribed shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations hereunder.  If the total of such monthly remittances on account of any fiscal year is greater than Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs actually incurred for such fiscal year, then, provided there is no Event of Default nor any event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, Tenant may credit the difference against the next installment of additional rent on account of Operating Costs due hereunder, except that if such difference is determined after the end of the Term, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord (it being understood and agreed that (A) if Tenant cures any default prior to the expiration of the notice and/or cure periods set forth in Section 20.1 below, Tenant shall then be entitled to take such credit, and (B) if Tenant does not cure all defaults prior to the expiration of the notice and/or cure periods set forth in Section 20.1 below and Landlord exercises its right to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 20.1, then Landlord shall credit such difference to Tenant to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord).  If the total of such remittances is less than Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs actually incurred for such fiscal year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor.  Landlord’s estimate of Operating Costs for the next

 

14

 

fiscal year shall be made in good faith and shall be based upon the Operating Costs actually incurred for the prior fiscal year as reflected in the Year-End Statement plus a reasonable adjustment based upon estimated increases in Operating Costs.  The provisions of this Section 5.2(g) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

(h)                                 Capital Expenditures.  If, during the Term, Landlord shall replace any capital items or make any capital expenditures (collectively, “Capital Expenditures”) the total amount of which (net of any warranty claims) is not properly includable in Operating Costs for the fiscal year in which they were made, in accordance with sound accounting principles and practices consistently applied in effect at the time of such replacement, there shall nevertheless be included in such Operating Costs (and in Operating Costs for each succeeding fiscal year) the amount, if any, by which the Annual Charge Off (determined as hereinafter provided) of such Capital Expenditure (less insurance proceeds, if any, collected by Landlord by reason of damage to, or destruction of the capital item being replaced) exceeds the Annual Charge Off of the Capital Expenditure for the item being replaced.  If a new capital item is acquired which does not replace another capital item, and such new capital item being acquired is either (i) required by any Legal Requirements enacted after the Execution Date or (ii) reasonably projected to reduce Operating Costs, then there shall be included in Operating Costs for each fiscal year in which and after such capital expenditure is made the Annual Charge Off of such capital expenditure.

 

(i)                                     Part Years.  If the Rent Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs in the middle of a fiscal year, Tenant shall be liable for only that portion of the Operating Costs with respect to such fiscal year within the Term.

 

(j)                                    Gross-Up.  If, during any fiscal year, the Building has an average annual tenant occupancy rate of less than ninety-five percent (95%), actual Operating Costs incurred shall be reasonably extrapolated by Landlord on an item-by-item basis to the reasonable Operating Costs that would have been incurred if the Building was 95% occupied, and such extrapolated Operating Costs shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be the Operating Costs for such fiscal year.

 

(k)                                 Audit Right.  Provided there is no Event of Default nor any event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, Tenant may, upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, inspect or audit Landlord’s records relating to Operating Costs for any periods of time within the previous fiscal year before the audit or inspection (it being understood and agreed that if Tenant cures any default prior to the expiration of the notice and/or cure periods set forth in Section 20.1 below, Tenant shall then be entitled to perform such inspection or audit).  However, no audit or inspection shall extend to periods of time before the Rent Commencement Date.  If Tenant fails to object to the calculation of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs on the Year-End Statement within sixty (60) days after such statement has been delivered to Tenant and/or fails to complete any such audit or inspection within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the Year End Statement, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to the calculation of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs for the year in question and the calculation thereof as set forth on such statement shall be final.  Tenant’s audit or inspection shall be conducted only at Landlord’s offices or the offices of Landlord’s property manager during business hours reasonably designated by Landlord.  Tenant shall pay the cost of such audit or inspection; provided, however, if Tenant’s inspection or audit

 

15

 

reveals an overcharge of more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for up to Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) of the reasonable cost of such audit or inspection within thirty (30) days of receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.  Tenant may not conduct an inspection or have an audit performed more than once during any fiscal year.  If such inspection or audit reveals that an error was made in the calculation of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs previously charged to Tenant, then, provided there is no Event of Default nor an event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, Tenant may credit the difference against the next installment of additional rent on account of Operating Costs due hereunder, except that if such difference is determined after the end of the Term, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord (it being understood and agreed that (A) if Tenant cures any default prior to the expiration of the notice and/or cure periods set forth in Section 20.1 below, Tenant shall then be entitled to take such credit, and (B) if Tenant does not cure all defaults prior to the expiration of the notice and/or cure periods set forth in Section 20.1 below and Landlord exercises its right to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 20.1, then Landlord shall credit such difference to Tenant to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord).  If such inspection or audit reveals an underpayment by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, any underpayment of any such costs, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.  Tenant shall maintain the results of any such audit or inspection confidential and shall not be permitted to use any third party to perform such audit or inspection, other than an independent firm of certified public accountants (A) reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (B) which is not compensated on a contingency fee basis or in any other manner which is dependent upon the results of such audit or inspection, and (C) which executes Landlord’s standard confidentiality agreement whereby it shall agree to maintain the results of such audit or inspection confidential.  The provisions of this Section 5.2(k) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

5.3                               Taxes.

 

(a)                                 “Taxes” shall mean the real estate taxes and other taxes, levies and assessments imposed upon the Building, and upon any personal property of Landlord used in the operation of the Building, or on Landlord’s interest in the Building or such personal property or reasonably allocated thereto; charges, fees and assessments for transit, housing, police, fire or other services or purported benefits to the Building (including without limitation any community preservation assessments); service or user payments in lieu of taxes; and any and all other taxes, levies, betterments, assessments and charges arising from the ownership, leasing, operation, use or occupancy of the Building or based upon rentals derived therefrom, which are or shall be imposed by federal, state, county, municipal or other governmental authorities.  Taxes shall not include any inheritance, estate, succession, gift, franchise, rental, income or profit tax, capital stock tax, capital levy or excise, or any income taxes arising out of or related to the ownership and operation of the Building, provided, however, that any of the same and any other tax, excise, fee, levy, charge or assessment, however described, that may in the future be levied or assessed as a substitute for or an addition to, in whole or in part, any tax, levy or assessment which would otherwise constitute Taxes, whether or not now customary or in the contemplation of the parties on the Execution Date of this Lease, shall constitute Taxes, but only to the extent calculated as if the Property were the only real estate owned by Landlord.  “Taxes” shall also include reasonable

 

16

 

expenses (including without limitation legal and consultant fees) of tax abatement or other proceedings contesting assessments or levies.

 

(b)                                 “Tax Period” shall be any fiscal/tax period in respect of which Taxes are due and payable to the appropriate governmental taxing authority (i.e., as mandated by the governmental taxing authority), any portion of which period occurs during the Term of this Lease.

 

(c)                                  Payment of Taxes.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes.  Landlord may make a good faith estimate of the Taxes to be due by Tenant for any Tax Period or part thereof during the Term, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the Rent Commencement Date and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter, an amount equal to Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes for such Tax Period or part thereof divided by the number of months therein.  No more often than quarterly, Landlord may estimate and re-estimate Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes and deliver a copy of Landlord’s good faith estimate or re-estimate to Tenant.  Thereafter, the monthly installments of Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the Tax Period in question, Tenant shall have paid all of Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes as estimated by Landlord.  Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as herein provided when actual Taxes are available for each Tax Period.  If the total of such monthly remittances is greater than Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes actually due for such Tax Period, then, provided there is no Event of Default nor any event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, Tenant may credit the difference against the next installment of additional rent on account of Taxes due hereunder, except that if such difference is determined after the end of the Term, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord (it being understood and agreed that if Tenant cures any default prior to the expiration of the notice and/or cure periods set forth in Section 20.1 below, Tenant shall then be entitled to take such credit).  If the total of such remittances is less than Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes actually due for such Tax Period, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor.  Landlord’s estimate of Taxes for the next Tax Period shall be made in good faith and shall be based upon actual Taxes for the prior Tax Period plus a reasonable adjustment based upon estimated increases in Taxes.  In the event that Payments in Lieu of Taxes (“PILOT”), instead of or in addition to Taxes, are separately assessed to certain portions of the Building or the Property including the Premises, Tenant agrees, except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the portion of such PILOT attributable to the Premises in the same manner as provided above for the payment of Taxes. The provisions of this Section 5.3(c) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

(d)                                 Effect of Abatements.  Appropriate credit against Taxes or PILOT shall be given for any refund obtained by reason of a reduction in any Taxes by the assessors or the administrative, judicial or other governmental agency responsible therefor after deduction of Landlord’s expenditures for reasonable legal fees and for other reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining the Tax or PILOT refund.

(e)                                  Part Years.  If the Rent Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs in the middle of a Tax Period, Tenant shall be liable for only that portion of the Taxes, as the case may be, with respect to such Tax Period within the Term.

 

5.4                               Late Payments.

 

(a)                                 Any payment of Rent due hereunder not paid when due shall bear interest for each month or fraction thereof from the due date until paid in full at the annual rate of twelve percent (12%), or at any applicable lesser maximum legally permissible rate for debts of this nature (the “Default Rate”).  Acceptance of interest shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity now or hereafter in effect.

 

(b)                                 For each Tenant payment check to Landlord that is returned by a bank for any reason, Tenant shall pay a returned check charge equal to the amount as shall be customarily charged by Landlord’s bank at the time.

 

(c)                                  Money paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be applied to Tenant’s account in the following order:  first, to any unpaid additional rent, including without limitation late charges, returned check charges, reasonable legal fees and/or court costs incurred by Landlord and chargeable to Tenant hereunder; and then to unpaid Base Rent.

Rent shall be paid without notice or demand, and without setoff, counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction or deduction, except as expressly provided herein.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, TENANT WAIVES ALL RIGHTS (I) TO ANY ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION, DEFERMENT, REDUCTION OR DEDUCTION OF OR FROM RENT, AND (II) TO QUIT, TERMINATE OR SURRENDER THIS LEASE OR THE PREMISES OR ANY PART THEREOF.  TENANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT HEREUNDER SHALL BE SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS, THAT RENT SHALL CONTINUE TO BE PAYABLE IN ALL EVENTS AND THAT THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT HEREUNDER SHALL CONTINUE UNAFFECTED, UNLESS THE REQUIREMENT TO PAY RENT OR PERFORM THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN ABATED, REDUCED OR TERMINATED PURSUANT TO AN EXPRESS PROVISION OF THIS LEASE.  LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE INDEPENDENT NATURE OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT  HEREUNDER REPRESENTS FAIR, REASONABLE, AND ACCEPTED COMMERCIAL PRACTICE WITH RESPECT TO THE TYPE OF PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THIS LEASE, AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS THE PRODUCT OF FREE AND INFORMED NEGOTIATION DURING WHICH BOTH LANDLORD AND TENANT WERE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL SKILLED IN NEGOTIATING AND DRAFTING COMMERCIAL LEASES IN MASSACHUSETTS, AND THAT THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLDING IN WESSON V. LEONE ENTERPRISES. INC.. 437 MASS. 708 (2002).  SUCH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

 

18

 

AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS BY TENANT ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE.

 

5.6                               Survival.  Any obligations under this Section 5 which shall not have been paid at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall survive such expiration or earlier termination and shall be paid when and as the amount of same shall be determined and be due.

7.                                      LETTER OF CREDIT.

 

7.1                               Amount.

 

(a)                                 Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either (i) cash in an amount specified in the Lease Summary Sheet (the “Cash Security Deposit”), which shall be held by Landlord in accordance with Section 7.5 below, or (ii) an irrevocable letter of credit which shall (a) be in the amount specified in the Lease Summary Sheet and otherwise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4:  (b) issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord upon which presentment may be made in Boston, Massachusetts (if Landlord so requires at the time of its approval thereof); and (c) be for a term of one (1) year, subject to extension in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Letter of Credit”).  The Letter of Credit shall be held by Landlord, without liability for interest, as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease by the Tenant to be kept and performed during the Term.  In no event shall the Letter of Credit be deemed to be a prepayment of Rent nor shall it be considered a measure of liquidated damages.  Unless the Letter of Credit is automatically renewing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the maturity date of the Letter of Credit (or any replacement Letter of Credit), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which shall have a maturity date no earlier than the next anniversary of the Term Commencement Date or one (1) year from its date of delivery to Landlord, whichever is later.

 

(b)                                 If there is no Event of Default and no event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default on the date of the reduction, and further provided that there is no material adverse change in Tenant’s net worth at the commencement of the fourth (4th) Rent Year as verified by Landlord based upon a certificate from Tenant’s chief financial officer and audited financials, then the amount of the Cash Security Deposit or the face amount of the Letter of Credit, as applicable, may be reduced by Tenant to $102,552.66 at the commencement of the fourth (4th) Rent Year (it being understood and agreed that if Tenant cures any default prior to the expiration of the notice and/or cure periods set forth in Section 20.1 below, Tenant shall then be entitled to effectuate such reduction).  Landlord shall, at no cost to Landlord, cooperate with Tenant and the issuer of the Letter of Credit in connection with such reduction, if applicable.

 

7.2                               Application of Proceeds of Letter of Credit.  Upon an Event of Default, or if any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Tenant pursuant to any of the provisions of any Act of Congress or State law relating to bankruptcy, reorganizations, arrangements, compositions or other relief from creditors (and, in the case of any proceeding instituted against it, if Tenant

 

19

 

shall fail to have such proceedings dismissed within thirty (30) days) or if Tenant is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent as a result of any such proceeding, or upon the end of the Term if there remains any uncured default of which Tenant shall have received notice, Landlord at its sole option may draw down all or a part of the Letter of Credit.  The balance of any Letter of Credit cash proceeds shall be held in accordance with Section 7.5 below.  Should the entire Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, be drawn down by Landlord, Tenant shall, upon the written demand of Landlord, deliver a replacement Letter of Credit in the amount drawn, and Tenant’s failure to do so within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written demand shall constitute an additional Event of Default hereunder.  The application of all or any part of the cash proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any obligation or default of Tenant under this Lease shall not deprive Landlord of any other rights or remedies Landlord may have nor shall such application by Landlord constitute a waiver by Landlord.

 

7.3                               Transfer of Letter of Credit.  In the event that Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Tenant shall perform such acts and/or execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, within ten (10) business days after such request and at no cost to Landlord, in order to name Landlord’s successor as the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit.  If Tenant fails to perform such acts and/or execute such documents within ten (10) business days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to draw down the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 7.5 below.

 

7.4                               Credit of Issuer of Letter of Credit.  In event of a material adverse change in the financial position of any bank or institution which has issued the Letter of Credit or any replacement Letter of Credit hereunder, Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant change the issuing bank or institution to another bank or institution reasonably approved by Landlord.  Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, which notice shall include the basis for Landlord’s reasonable belief that there has been a material adverse change in the financial position of the issuer of the Letter of Credit, replace the then-outstanding letter of credit with a like Letter of Credit from another bank or institution reasonably approved by Landlord.

 

7.5                               Security Deposit.  Landlord shall hold the Cash Security Deposit and/or the balance of proceeds remaining after a draw (if any) on the Letter of Credit (each hereinafter referred to as the “Security Deposit”) as security for Tenant’s performance of all its Lease obligations.  After an Event of Default, or upon the end of the Term if there remains any uncured default of which Tenant shall have received notice, Landlord may apply the Security Deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages without prejudice to any other Landlord remedy.  Should Landlord apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Lease during the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall, upon the written demand of Landlord, either (a) deliver cash in the amount applied, or (b) deliver a replacement Letter of Credit in the form and amount required hereunder (upon receipt of such replacement Letter of Credit, Landlord shall return the then-existing Security Deposit to Tenant).  Tenant’s failure to deliver such cash or replacement Letter of Credit within twenty (20) days after receipt of written demand shall constitute an additional Event of Default hereunder.  Landlord has no obligation to pay interest on the Security Deposit and may co-mingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s funds.  If Landlord conveys its interest under this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any part not applied

 

20

 

previously, shall be turned over to the grantee in which case Tenant shall look solely to the grantee for the proper application and return of the Security Deposit.

 

7.6                               Return of Security Deposit or Letter of Credit.  Should Tenant comply with all of such terms, covenants and conditions and promptly pay all sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, the Security Deposit and/or Letter of Credit or the remaining proceeds therefrom, as applicable, shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the end of the Term, less any portion thereof which may have been utilized by Landlord to cure any default or applied to any actual damage suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s default.

9.1                               Electricity.  Commencing on the Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay all charges for electricity furnished to the Premises and/or any equipment exclusively serving the same as additional rent as provided hereafter.  Such charges shall be based in part on (a) reasonable estimates by Landlord based on percentage of air flow used by Tenant (measured through Landlord’s Building energy management system) as to equipment in the Building serving the Building, Tenant and other tenants, to be separately billed by Landlord, (b) metering equipment installed as part of Landlord’s Work, as to other electricity used in the Premises, which Tenant shall pay directly to the supplier, and (c) if applicable, such other metering equipment, if any, approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.  Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain and keep in good order, condition and repair all such metering equipment.  Tenant shall pay the full amount of any charges attributable to such meter on or before the due date therefor either to Landlord or directly to the supplier thereof, at Landlord’s election.

 

9.2                               Water.  Commencing on the Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay all water and sewer charges for water furnished to the Premises and/or any equipment exclusively serving the same as additional rent.  Such charges shall be reasonably estimated by Landlord based on the percentage of air flow used by Tenant (measured through Landlord’s Building energy management system).  Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain and keep in good order, condition and repair all such metering equipment.  Tenant shall pay the full amount of any charges attributable to such meter on or before the due date therefor to Landlord.

 

9.3                               Gas.  Commencing on the Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay all charges for natural gas service furnished to the Premises and/or any equipment exclusively serving the same as additional rent as provided hereafter.  Such charges shall be based in part on (a) reasonable estimates by Landlord based on percentage of air flow used by Tenant (measured through Landlord’s Building energy management system) as to equipment in the Building serving the Building, Tenant, and other tenants, to be separately billed by Landlord, and (b) metering equipment installed as part of Landlord’s Work, as to natural gas used in the Premises, which Tenant shall pay directly to the supplier, and (c) if applicable, such other metering equipment, if any, approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.  Tenant shall pay the full amount of any charges attributable to such meter on or before the due date therefor directly to the supplier thereof.

9.4                               HVAC.  Consistent with the levels provided by Class A laboratory/R&D/office buildings in the East Cambridge/Cambridgeport area, Landlord shall provide to the Common Areas and the Premises on a twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week basis (i) heat 365 days/year and (ii) air conditioning during the normal cooling season; provided, however, that Landlord will provide air conditioning at such other times as reasonably requested by Tenant and (iii) general exhaust/ventilation.  Excluded from such services are air conditioning requirements for (A) personal computers in excess of an average of one personal computer per person in occupancy of the Premises, or (B) exceptional office machinery.  It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that Tenant shall be solely responsible for specialty exhaust required for the Premises (if any), including without limitation exhaust for H2 rooms, radiation hoods and isotope hoods, vivarium, chemical storage rooms which require Class I, Division II classification, if any, and any other special Tenant equipment.  Whenever the air conditioning systems are in operation, Tenant agrees to use reasonable efforts to lower and close the blinds or drapes when necessary because of the sun’s position, and to cooperate fully with Landlord with regard to, and to abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements applicable to the Building which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the air conditioning systems and of which Tenant has received written notice.

 

9.5                               Other Utilities; Utility Information.  Subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules and regulations governing the same, Tenant shall obtain and pay, as and when due, for all other utilities and services consumed in and/or furnished to the Premises, together with all taxes, penalties, surcharges and maintenance charges pertaining thereto.  Within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s request from time to time, Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonably detailed information regarding tenant’s utility usage in the Premises.

 

9.6                               Interruption or Curtailment of Utilities.

 

(a)                                 When necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements which in the reasonable judgment of Landlord are desirable or necessary to be made, Landlord reserves the right, upon as much prior notice to Tenant as is practicable under the circumstances and no less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice except in the event of an emergency, to interrupt, curtail, or stop (i) the furnishing of hot and/or cold water, and (ii) the operation of the plumbing and electric systems.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least five (5) business days’ notice of any such planned interruption or suspension.  Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to mitigate and/or eliminate the cause of any such interruption, curtailment, stoppage or suspension, but, subject to Section 9.6(b) below, there shall be no diminution or abatement of Rent or other compensation due from Landlord to Tenant hereunder, nor shall this Lease be affected or any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder reduced, and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for any such interruption, curtailment, stoppage, or suspension of services or systems.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease contained, if the Premises shall lack any service which Landlord is required to provide hereunder, or if Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof shall be disturbed in violation of Section 23 hereof (thereby rendering the Premises or a portion thereof substantially untenantable) such that, for the duration of the Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period (hereinafter defined), the continued operation in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business in any portion of the Premises is

 

22

 

materially and adversely affected, and if Tenant ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises (the “Affected Portion”) during the period of untenantability as the direct result of such lack of service or disturbance, then, provided that Tenant ceases to use the Affected Portion during the entirety of the Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period and that such untenantability and Landlord’s inability to cure such condition is not caused by the fault or neglect of any of the Tenant Parties, Base Rent shall thereafter be abated in proportion to such untenantability until the day such condition is completely corrected.  For purposes hereof, the “Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period” shall be defined as seven (7) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant of the condition causing untenantability in the Affected Portion.  The provisions of this Section 9.6(b) shall not apply in the event of Casualty or Taking, or in the event of untenantability caused by causes beyond Landlord’s control or if Landlord is unable to cure such condition as the result of causes beyond Landlord’s control.

 

9.7                               Telecommunications Providers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in this Lease contained, Landlord has no obligation to allow any particular telecommunications service provider to have access to the Building or to Premises other than Verizon and LightTower (collectively, the “Approved Providers”).  If Landlord permits such access, Landlord may condition such access upon (a) the execution of Landlord’s standard telecommunications agreement (which shall include a provision requiring the payment of fair market rent for any space in the Property dedicated, licensed and/or leased to such provider), and (b) the payment to Landlord by Tenant or the service provider of any costs incurred by Landlord in facilitating such access.  Subject to the preceding sentence, Landlord’s consent to providing access to the Building to any service provider other than the Approved Providers shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided such access does not require any street opening permits or approvals (unless otherwise agreed to by the City of Cambridge) or would unreasonably interfere with the use of the Common Areas.

 

9.8                               Landlord’s Services.  Subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 5.2 above, Landlord shall provide the services described in Exhibit 8 attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Landlord’s Services”).

 

10.                               MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.

 

10.1                        Maintenance and Repairs by Tenant.  Tenant shall keep the Premises (including, without limitation, doors and door frames and plate glass (provided that Landlord shall have the right to repair plate glass at Tenant’s cost)) neat and clean and free of insects, rodents, vermin and other pests and in such good repair, order and condition as the same are in on the Term Commencement Date or in such better condition as the Premises may be put in during the Term, reasonable wear and tear and damage by Casualty excepted.  Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the proper maintenance of all building systems, sanitary, electrical, heating, air conditioning, plumbing, security or other systems and of all equipment and appliances to the extent installed and/or operated by Tenant and/or exclusively serving the Premises.  Tenant agrees to provide regular maintenance by contract with a reputable qualified service contractor for the heating and air conditioning equipment exclusively servicing the Premises, if any.  Such maintenance contract and contractor shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.  Tenant, at Landlord’s request, shall at reasonable intervals provide Landlord with copies of such contracts and maintenance and repair records and/or reports.

 

23

 

10.2                        Maintenance and Repairs by Landlord.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 15, and subject to Tenant’s obligations in Section 10.1 above, Landlord shall keep and maintain the roof, Building structure, exterior window frames, structural floor slabs and columns, all common sanitary, electrical, heating, air conditioning, plumbing, security and other common Building systems (such as the common boiler, central vacuum, ROD1 and shared waste neutralization systems) and all common equipment and appliances serving the Property in good repair, order and condition.  In addition, Landlord shall operate and maintain the Common Areas in substantially the same manner as other first-class combination office, R&D and laboratory facilities in the East Cambridge/Cambridgeport area.

 

10.3                        Accidents to Sanitary and Other Systems.  Tenant shall give to Landlord prompt notice of any fire or accident in the Premises or in the Building and of any damage to, or defective condition in, any part or appurtenance of the Building including, without limitation, sanitary, electrical, ventilation, heating and air conditioning or other systems located in, or passing through, the Premises.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 15, and subject to Tenant’s obligations in Section 10.1 above, such damage or defective condition shall be remedied by Landlord with reasonable diligence, but, subject to Section 14.5 below, if such damage or defective condition was caused by any of the Tenant Parties, the cost to remedy the same shall be paid by Tenant.

 

10.4                        Floor Load—Heavy Equipment.  Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the floor load per square foot of area which such floor was designed to carry and which is allowed by Legal Requirements.  Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all safes, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures (collectively, “Heavy Equipment”), which shall be placed so as to distribute the weight.  Heavy Equipment shall be placed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in settings sufficient in Landlord’s reasonable judgment to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance.  Tenant shall not move any Heavy Equipment into or out of the Building without giving Landlord prior written notice thereof and observing all of Landlord’s Rules and Regulations with respect to the same.  If such Heavy Equipment requires special handling, Tenant agrees to employ only persons holding a Master Rigger’s License to do said work, and that all work in connection therewith shall comply with Legal Requirements.  Any such moving shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant and Tenant will defend, indemnify and save Landlord and Landlord’s agents (including without limitation its property manager), contractors and employees (collectively with Landlord, the “Landlord Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, penalties, costs, expenses and fees (including without limitation reasonable legal fees) (collectively, “Claims”) resulting directly or indirectly from such moving except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties.  Proper placement of all Heavy Equipment in the Premises shall be Tenant’s responsibility.

 

11.                               ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT.

 

11.1                        Landlord’s Consent Required.  Tenant shall not make any alterations, installations, removals, additions or improvements (collectively, “Alterations”) in or to the Premises without Landlord’s prior written approval of the contractor(s), written plans and specifications, a time schedule therefor and the items listed in Exhibit 5 attached hereto and

 

24

 

made a part hereof.  For purposes of this Lease, Landlord’s Work is not an Alteration.  Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant use Landlord’s preferred vendor(s) for any Alterations that involve roof penetrations, alarm tie-ins, sprinklers, fire alarm and other life safety equipment.  Tenant shall not make any amendments or additions to plans and specifications approved by Landlord without Landlord’s prior written consent.  Landlord’s approval of non-structural Alterations shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion (a) to any Alteration to or affecting the Surrendered Lab Benches (hereinafter defined), fume hoods, roof and/or Building systems (except that Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s reconfiguration of the cabinets and/or drawers located beneath each Surrendered Lab Bench to accommodate the user’s seating position shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (b) with respect to matters of aesthetics relating to Alterations to or affecting the exterior of the Building, and (c) to any Alteration affecting the Building structure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent shall not be required (but the applicable Exhibit 5 items shall be provided if reasonably required by Landlord) with respect to Alterations that are purely decorative in nature nor with respect to non-structural Alterations that do not trigger any requirement for Alterations outside the Premises and which cost less than $25,000 in any one instance (and $75,000 in the aggregate per year) so long as such Alterations do not materially adversely affect the roof, Building systems or Building exterior (each, a “Permitted Alteration”), provided Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonably detailed prior written notice thereof.  Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with Legal Requirements, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design.  Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for any Claim alleged to have been caused by the particular materials (whether building standard or non-building standard), appliances or equipment selected by Tenant (and not required by Landlord) in connection with any work performed by or on behalf of Tenant.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all Alterations shall be done at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate.  If Tenant shall make any Alterations, then Landlord may elect (not later than the time of Landlord’s approval thereof (or as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt of  reasonably detailed notice regarding any Permitted Alteration)) to require Tenant at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the Alterations.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with reproducible record drawings (in CAD format) of all Alterations (other than purely decorative Alterations) within sixty (60) days after completion thereof.

 

11.2                        Supervised Work.  Landlord and Tenant recognize that to the extent Landlord permits Tenant to perform any Alterations outside the Premises and/or affecting the Building systems, or if required by Legal Requirements, Landlord will need to make arrangements to have supervisory personnel on site.  Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:  Tenant shall give Landlord at least two (2) business days’ prior written notice of any time outside of normal construction hours when Tenant intends to perform portions of Alterations (the “Supervised Work”).  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the reasonable cost of Landlord’s supervisory personnel overseeing the Supervised Work.

 

25

 

11.3                        Harmonious Relations.  Tenant agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, use any contractors and/or materials if their use will create any difficulty, whether in the nature of a labor dispute or otherwise, with other contractors and/or labor engaged by Tenant or Landlord or others in the construction, maintenance and/or operation of the Building, the Property or any part thereof.  In the event of any such difficulty, upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such difficulty to leave the Property immediately.

 

11.4                        Liens.  No Alterations shall be undertaken by Tenant until Tenant has made provision for written waiver of liens from all contractors for such Alteration and taken other appropriate protective measures approved and/or required by Landlord.  Tenant shall either:  (a) demonstrate to Landlord, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, that Tenant is able to pay for the cost of such Alteration, or (b) provide to Landlord security, in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (such as a letter of credit, escrowed funds, payment, performance and lien bonds or a guaranty), securing Tenant’s obligation to pay for the entire cost of such Alteration.  Any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or the Building for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant shall be discharged by Tenant within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof, at Tenant’s expense by filing the bond required by law or otherwise.

 

11.5                        General Requirements.  Unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing, Tenant shall (a) obtain Landlord’s written approval of any and all building permit applications relating to Alterations (including without limitation Permitted Alterations) to the Premises prior to submission thereof; (b) procure or cause others to procure on its behalf all necessary permits before undertaking any Alterations in the Premises (and provide copies thereof to Landlord); (c) perform all of such Alterations in a good and workmanlike manner, employing materials of good quality and in compliance with Landlord’s reasonable construction rules and regulations, all insurance requirements of this Lease, and Legal Requirements; and (d) defend, indemnify and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all Claims occasioned by or growing out of such Alterations except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties.  Tenant shall cause contractors employed by Tenant to (i) carry Worker’s Compensation Insurance in accordance with statutory requirements, (ii) carry Automobile Liability Insurance and Commercial General Liability Insurance (A) naming Landlord as an additional insured, and (B) covering such contractors on or about the Premises in the amounts stated in Section 14 hereof or in such other reasonable amounts as Landlord shall require, and (iii) submit certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage to Landlord prior to the commencement of any such Alterations.  In addition, if construction during normal business hours unreasonably disturbs other tenants of the Property, in Landlord’s sole discretion, Landlord may require Tenant to stop the performance of Alterations during normal business hours and to perform the same after hours.

 

12.                               SIGNAGE.

 

12.1                        Restrictions.  Tenant shall have the right to install Building standard signage identifying Tenant’s business at the entrance to the Premises, which signage shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the same complies with Landlord’s then-current signage guidelines for the

 

26

 

Building).  Subject to the foregoing, Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed or maintained on the exterior of the Premises, or any part of the interior visible from the exterior thereof, any sign, banner, advertising matter or any other thing of any kind (including, without limitation, any hand-lettered advertising), and shall not place or maintain any decoration, letter or advertising matter on the glass of any exterior window or door of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written approval.  No signs or blinds may be put on or in any exterior window or elsewhere if visible from the exterior of the Building.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with building standard blinds for each window within the Premises and Tenant shall install the same at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  Tenant may not remove the building standard blinds without Landlord’s prior written consent.  Tenant may hang its own drapes, provided that they shall not in any way interfere with any building standard drapery or blinds provided by Landlord or be visible from the exterior of the Building, and that such drapes are so hung and installed that, when drawn, the building standard drapery or blinds are automatically also drawn.

 

12.2                        Building Directory.  Landlord shall list Tenant within the directory in the Building lobby at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.  Subject to reasonable limits on the number of lines on the directory Landlord can provide and all such additional signage in the lobby directory, Landlord shall add the names of any approved subtenants or licensees occupying any portion of the Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

12.3                        Monument Sign.  Subject to the issuance of applicable permits and approvals and subject further to Legal Requirements, Landlord intends to install a monument sign on the Property on which Landlord shall list Tenant’s name (as well as the names of other tenants or occupants of the Building).  Such listing shall comply with Landlord’s then-current signage guidelines for the Property.

 

13.                               ASSIGNMENT, MORTGAGING AND SUBLETTING.

 

13.1                        Landlord’s Consent Required.  Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, mortgage or otherwise encumber this Lease or the Premises in whole or in part.  Except as expressly otherwise set forth in this Section 13, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall be granted or withheld in accordance with Section 13.3 below, assign, sublet, mortgage, license, transfer or encumber this Lease or the Premises in whole or in part whether by changes in the ownership or control of Tenant, or any direct or indirect owner of Tenant, whether at one time or at intervals, by sale or transfer of stock, partnership or beneficial interests, operation of law or otherwise, or permit the occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises by any person or entity other than Tenant’s employees (each of the foregoing, a “Transfer”).  Any purported Transfer made without Landlord’s consent, if required hereunder, shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person, provided that if there is a Transfer, Landlord may collect rent from the transferee without waiving the prohibition against Transfers, accepting the transferee, or releasing Tenant from full performance under this Lease.  In the event of any Transfer in violation of this Section 13, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant to Landlord of any Transfer, or within one (1) year after Landlord first learns of the Transfer if no notice is given, if, in either case, Tenant fails to rescind such Transfer within thirty (30) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord’s intention to

 

27

 

terminate this Lease.  No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of its primary obligation as party Tenant hereunder, nor shall it reduce or increase Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (a) so long as Tenant is a publicly traded company on a nationally recognized stock exchange in the United States of America, no sale of Tenant’s stock shall be deemed a Transfer, and (b) the infusion of additional equity capital in Tenant, or an initial public offering of equity securities of Tenant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which results in Tenant’s stock being traded on a national securities exchange, shall not be deemed a Transfer.

 

13.2                        Landlord’s Recapture Right.

 

(a)                                 Subject to Section 13.7 below, Tenant shall, prior to offering or advertising fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises (individually or in the aggregate with other license(s), sublease(s) or other occupancy agreement(s) then in effect) for a Transfer, give a written notice (the “Recapture Notice”) to Landlord which:  (i) states that Tenant desires to make a Transfer, (ii) identifies the affected portion of the Premises (the “Recapture Premises”), (iii) identifies the period of time (the “Recapture Period”) during which Tenant proposes to sublet the Recapture Premises, or indicates that Tenant proposes to assign its interest in this Lease, and (iv) offers to Landlord to terminate this Lease with respect to the Recapture Premises (in the case of a proposed assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or a subletting for the remainder of the term of this Lease) or to suspend the Term for the Recapture Period (i.e. the Term with respect to the Recapture Premises shall be terminated during the Recapture Period and Tenant’s rental obligations shall be proportionately reduced).  Landlord shall have fifteen (15) business days within which to respond to the Recapture Notice.  If Landlord does not respond within such 15-business day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have refused the offer contained in the Recapture Notice.

 

(b)                                 If Tenant does not enter into a Transfer on the terms and conditions contained in the Recapture Notice on or before the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the earlier of:  (x) the expiration of the 15-business day period specified in Section 13.2(a) above, or (y) the date that Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord will not accept Tenant’s offer contained in the Recapture Notice, time being of the essence, then prior to entering into any Transfer after such 180-day period, Tenant must deliver to Landlord a new Recapture Notice in accordance with Section 13.2(a) above.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord notifies Tenant that it accepts the offer contained in the Recapture Notice or any subsequent Recapture Notice, Tenant shall have the right, for a period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice from Landlord, time being of the essence, to notify Landlord in writing that it wishes to withdraw such offer and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

 

13.3                        Standard of Consent to Transfer.  If Landlord does not timely give written notice to Tenant accepting a Recapture Offer or declines to accept the same, then Landlord agrees that, subject to the provisions of this Section 13, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to a Transfer to an entity which will use the Premises for the Permitted Uses and, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion:  (a) has a tangible net worth and other financial indicators reasonably sufficient to meet the Transferee’s obligations under the Transfer

 

28

 

instrument in question; (b) has a business reputation compatible with the operation of a first-class combination laboratory, research, development and office building in the East Cambridge/Cambridgeport area; and (c) such entity’s intended use of the Premises does not violate any exclusive or restrictive use provisions of any leases then in effect with respect to space in the Building; provided, however, if there shall be, at the time that Landlord is otherwise required to provide its consent, an event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default, then it shall be reasonable for Landlord to condition its consent to the Transfer in question on Tenant’s cure of such default prior to the expiration of applicable cure periods set forth in Section 20.1.

 

13.4                        Listing Confers no Rights.  The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the Premises or on the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest in any such other person, firm or corporation any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises or be deemed to effect or evidence any consent of Landlord, it being expressly understood that any such listing is a privilege extended by Landlord revocable at will by written notice to Tenant.

 

13.5                        Profits In Connection with Transfers.  Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s actual receipt thereof, pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of Net Rent (hereinafter defined) in excess of Rent hereunder as if such amount were originally called for by the terms of this Lease as additional rent.  “Net Rent” shall mean any rent, sum or other consideration paid or given to Tenant in connection with any Transfer other than a Transfer to a Successor, either initially or over time, minus (a) the reasonable actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such Transfer (including without limitation legal, marketing and brokerage expenses and the cost of improvements paid for by Tenant in connection therewith), (b) any unamortized portion of Landlord’s Work paid for by Tenant, and (c) any unamortized portion of the reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in connection with Alterations made prior to such Transfer.

 

13.6                        Prohibited Transfers.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to make a Transfer unless on both (i) the date on which Tenant notifies Landlord of its intention to enter into a Transfer and (ii) the date on which such Transfer is to take effect, there is not an Event of Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant agrees that in no event shall Tenant make a Transfer to (a) any government agency; (b) any tenant, subtenant or occupant of other space in the Building (other than Affiliated Entities or Successors) if Landlord has comparable space in the Building available for lease; or (c) any entity with whom Landlord shall have negotiated for space in the Property in the three (3) months immediately preceding such proposed Transfer.

 

13.7                        Exceptions to Requirement for Consent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord’s consent and without giving Landlord a Recapture Notice, to (a) make a Transfer to an Affiliated Entity (hereinafter defined), and (b) assign Tenant’s interest in this Lease to a Successor, provided that prior to or simultaneously with any such Transfer, such Affiliated Entity or Successor, as the case may be, and Tenant execute and deliver to Landlord an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord whereby such Affiliated Entity or Successor, as the case may be, shall agree to be independently bound by and upon all

 

29

 

the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in the Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed, and whereby such Affiliated Entity or Successor, as the case may be, shall expressly agree that the provisions of this Section 13 shall, notwithstanding such Transfer, continue to be binding upon it with respect to all future Transfers.  For the purposes hereof, an “Affiliated Entity” shall be defined as any entity which is controlled by, is under common control with, or which controls Tenant (with “control” in this context meaning the power to direct the management and policies of the entity in question, directly or indirectly, through the exercise of voting rights, by contract, or otherwise).  For the purposes hereof, a “Successor” shall be defined as any entity into or with which Tenant is merged or with which Tenant is consolidated or which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant’s stock or assets, provided that the surviving entity shall have a net worth no less than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such assignment.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.7, no transaction or series of transactions which are effected solely for the purpose of qualifying as a transaction which does not require Landlord’s consent (i.e. and thereby avoiding the operation of the provisions of this Article 13) shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 13.7.

 

14.                               INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION; EXCULPATION.

 

14.1                        Tenant’s Insurance.

 

(a)                                 Tenant shall procure, pay for and keep in force throughout the Term (and for so long thereafter as Tenant remains in occupancy of the Premises) commercial general liability insurance insuring Tenant on an occurrence basis against all claims and demands for personal injury liability (including, without limitation, bodily injury, sickness, disease, and death) or damage to property which may be claimed to have occurred from and after the time any of the Tenant Parties shall first enter the Premises, of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence, Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) aggregate, and from time to time thereafter shall be not less than such higher amounts, if procurable, as may be reasonably required by Landlord.  Tenant shall also carry umbrella liability coverage in an amount of no less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).  Such policy shall also include contractual liability coverage covering Tenant’s liability assumed under this Lease, including without limitation Tenant’s indemnification obligations.  Such insurance policy(ies) shall name Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent and such other persons/entities designated by Landlord in writing, if any, as additional insureds.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall take out and maintain throughout the Term a policy of fire, vandalism, malicious mischief, extended coverage and so-called “all risk” coverage insurance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost insuring (i) all items or components of Tenant’s Alterations (collectively, the “Tenant-Insured Improvements”), and (ii) Tenant’s furniture, equipment, fixtures and property of every kind, nature and description related or arising out of Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder, which may be in or upon the Premises or the Building (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”).  Such insurance shall insure the interests of both Landlord and Tenant as their respective interests may appear from time to time.

 

(c)                                  Tenant shall take out and maintain a policy of business interruption insurance throughout the Term sufficient to cover at least twelve (12) months of Rent due hereunder and Tenant’s business losses during such 12-month period.

 

30

Tenant’s Insurance Policies shall each provide that it shall not be canceled or modified without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to each insured named therein (except that ten (10) days’ prior written shall be provided in the event of cancellation for non-payment of premium).  Tenant’s Insurance Policies may include deductibles in an amount no greater than the greater of $25,000 or commercially reasonable amounts.  On or before the date on which any of the Tenant Parties shall first enter the Premises and thereafter not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of each expiring policy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing the requirements hereof.  In the event of any claim, and upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord complete copies of Tenant’s Insurance Policies.  Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to any Mortgagee copies of the foregoing documents.

 

14.2                        Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all Claims asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or public authority arising from:

 

(i)                                     Tenant’s breach of any covenant or obligation under this Lease;

 

(ii)                                  Any injury to or death of any person, or loss of or damage to property, sustained or occurring in, upon, at or about the Premises;

 

(iii)                               Any injury to or death of any person, or loss of or damage to property arising out of the use or occupancy of the Premises by or the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Tenant Parties; and (iv) On account of or based upon any work or thing whatsoever done (other than by Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties) at the Premises during the Term and during the period of time, if any, prior to the Term Commencement Date that any of the Tenant Parties may have been given access to the Premises.

 

(b)                                 Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Tenant Parties, Landlord shall defend, indemnify and save Tenant harmless from and against any and all Claims asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or public authority arising from (i) Landlord’s breach of any covenant or obligation under this Lease, or (ii) any injury to or death of any person, or loss of or damage to property arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties.

 

31

 

14.3                        Property of Tenant.  Tenant covenants and agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements, all of Tenant’s Property at the Premises shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and that if the whole or any part thereof shall be damaged, destroyed, stolen or removed from any cause or reason whatsoever, no part of said damage or loss shall be charged to, or borne by, Landlord, except, subject to Section 14.5 hereof, to the extent such damage or loss arises out of the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties.

 

14.4                        Limitation of Landlord’s Liability for Damage or Injury.  Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons, animals, or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, air contaminants or emissions, electricity, electrical or electronic emanations or disturbance, water, rain or snow or leaks from any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances, equipment or plumbing works or from the roof, street or sub-surface or from any other place or caused by dampness, vandalism, malicious mischief or by any other cause of whatever nature, except to the extent caused by or arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Landlord Parties.  If Tenant knows of any such condition, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing as soon as possible so as to enable Landlord to prevent such damage or loss.  Tenant shall take all reasonably prudent measures and safeguards to prevent any injury, loss or damage to persons or property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of the Landlord Parties be liable for any loss to the extent such loss is covered by insurance policies actually carried by Tenant or required by this Lease to be so carried by Tenant; nor shall any of the Landlord Parties be liable for any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Building or caused by operations in construction of any private, public, or quasi-public work; nor shall any of the Landlord Parties be liable for any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building.

 

14.5                        Waiver of Subrogation; Mutual Release.  Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives on behalf of itself and its property insurers (none of which shall ever be assigned any such claim or be entitled thereto due to subrogation or otherwise) any and all rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action against the other and its agents, officers, servants, partners, shareholders, or employees (collectively, the “Related Parties”) for any loss or damage (excluding rights of recovery, claims, actions, and causes of action relating to damage to the roof of the Building caused by Tenant but including rights of recovery, claims, actions, and causes of action relating to damage to the roof of the Building caused by any Casualty (hereinafter defined)) that may occur to or within the Premises or the Building or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party therein which is insured against under any property insurance policy actually being maintained by the waiving party from time to time, even if not required hereunder, or which would be insured against under the terms of any insurance policy required to be carried or maintained by the waiving party hereunder, whether or not such insurance coverage is actually being maintained, including, in every instance, such loss or damage that may be caused by the negligence of the other party hereto and/or its Related Parties.  Landlord and Tenant each agrees to cause appropriate clauses to be included in its property insurance policies necessary to implement the foregoing provisions.

 

14.6                        Tenant’s Acts—Effect on Insurance.  Tenant shall not do or permit any Tenant Party to do any act or thing upon the Premises or elsewhere in the Building which will invalidate or be in conflict with any insurance policies or warranties covering the Building and the fixtures and property therein and of which Tenant has prior notice; and shall not do, or permit to be done, any act or thing upon the Premises which shall subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility

 

32

 

for injury to any person or persons or to property by reason of any business or operation being carried on upon said Premises or for any other reason.  If by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions hereof the insurance rate applicable to any policy of insurance shall at any time thereafter be higher than it otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for that part of any insurance premiums which shall have been charged because of such failure by Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.

 

14.7                        Landlord’s Insurance.  Landlord shall obtain and maintain (or cause to be obtained and maintained) in force throughout the Term hereof, in a company or companies authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:  (a) property insurance on the Building (exclusive of Tenant’s Property, Alterations and personal property of, and alterations by, other tenants or occupants), in an amount equal to the full replacement value of the Building (exclusive of foundations and those items set forth in the preceding parenthetical in this sentence), covering fire, vandalism, malicious mischief, extended coverage and so-called “all risk”; and (b) commercial general liability insurance against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability arising out of Landlord’s operation of the Building in such amount as a prudent owner of similar property would carry or as otherwise required by any Mortgagee.  The foregoing insurance may be maintained in the form of a blanket policy covering the Building as well as other properties owned by Landlord and Landlord’s affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.7, Landlord shall have the right to self-insure all or any portion of the coverages required by this Section 14.7 so long as (i) Landlord is, or is controlled by, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or (ii) Landlord (or the parent entity controlling Landlord) has a tangible net worth equal to or greater than Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000); provided, however, if Landlord’s parent entity, and not Landlord, meets such net worth test, Landlord’s parent shall agree with Tenant to be responsible for such self-insurance and to be bound by the provisions of this Lease related thereto.

 

15.                               CASUALTY; TAKING.

 

15.1                        Damage.  If the Premises are damaged in whole or part because of fire or other insured casualty (“Casualty”), or if the Premises are subject to a taking in connection with the exercise of any power of eminent domain, condemnation, or purchase under threat or in lieu thereof (any of the foregoing, a “Taking”), then unless this Lease is terminated in accordance with Section 15.2 below, Landlord shall use diligent efforts to restore the Building and/or the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately following completion of Landlord’s Work, or in the event of a partial Taking which affects the Building and the Premises, restore the remainder of the Building and the Premises not so Taken to substantially the same condition as is reasonably feasible.  Subject to rights of Mortgagees, Tenant Delays, Legal Requirements then in existence and to delays for adjustment of insurance proceeds or Taking awards, as the case may be, and instances of Landlord’s Force Majeure, Landlord shall substantially complete such restoration within one (1) year after Landlord’s receipt of all required permits therefor.  Upon substantial completion of such restoration by Landlord, Tenant shall use diligent efforts to complete restoration of the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Taking, as the case may be, as soon as reasonably possible.  Tenant agrees, at no cost to Tenant, to cooperate with Landlord in such manner as Landlord may reasonably request to assist Landlord in collecting insurance proceeds due in connection with any Casualty which affects the Premises or the Building.  In no event

 

33

 

shall Landlord be required to expend more than the Net (hereinafter defined) insurance proceeds Landlord receives for damage to the Premises and/or the Building or the Net Taking award attributable to the Premises and/or the Building.  “Net” means the insurance proceeds or Taking award actually paid to Landlord (and not paid over to a Mortgagee) less all costs and expenses, including adjusters and attorney’s fees, of obtaining the same.  In the Operating Year in which a Casualty occurs, there shall be included in Operating Costs Landlord’s deductible under its property insurance policy.  Under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair any damage to, or make any repairs to or replacements of, any Tenant-Insured Improvements.

 

15.2                        Termination Rights.

 

(a)                                 Landlord’s Termination Rights.  Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant if:

 

(i)                                     any material portion of the Building or any material means of access thereto is taken;

 

(ii)                                  more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the Building is damaged by Casualty; or (iii) if the estimated time to complete Landlord’s restoration exceeds one (1) year from the date on which Landlord receives all required permits for such restoration.

 

(b)                                 Tenant’s Termination Right.  If Landlord is so required but fails to complete restoration of the Premises within the time frames and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 15.1 above, then Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord; provided, however, that if Landlord completes such restoration within thirty (30) days after receipt of any such termination notice, such termination notice shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  The remedies set forth in this Section 15.2(b) and in Section 15.2(c) below are Tenant’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies based upon Landlord’s failure to complete the restoration of the Premises as set forth herein.

 

(c)                                  Either Party May Terminate.  In the case of any Casualty or Taking affecting the Premises and occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then (i) if such Casualty or Taking results in more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor area of the Premises being unsuitable for the Permitted Uses, or (ii) the damage to the Premises costs more than $100,000 to restore, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other.  In addition, if any Mortgagee does not release sufficient insurance proceeds to cover the cost of Landlord’s restoration work and Landlord does not agree in writing to cover the difference, Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof and Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to the other.

 

(d)                                 Automatic Termination.  In the case of a Taking of the entire Premises, then this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of possession by the Taking authority.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 15 if the Casualty in question was caused by the willful misconduct of any of the Tenant Parties.

15.3                        Taking for Temporary Use.  If the Premises are Taken for temporary use, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  For purposes hereof, a “Taking for temporary use” shall mean a Taking of ninety (90) days or less.

 

15.4                        Disposition of Awards.  Except for any separate award for Tenant’s movable trade fixtures, relocation expenses, and unamortized leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant (provided that the same may not reduce Landlord’s award), all Taking awards to Landlord or Tenant shall be Landlord’s property without Tenant’s participation, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award.  Tenant may pursue its own claim against the Taking authority.

 

15.5                        Abatement.  In the event of any Casualty or Taking affecting the Premises and/or all material means of access thereto, Base Rent and Tenant’s regular monthly payments of additional rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes shall be equitably abated for the period from the date of such Casualty or Taking until the earlier of (a) the date that Landlord substantially completes Landlord’s restoration work (provided that if Landlord would have completed Landlord’s restoration work at an earlier date but for delays caused by the acts or wrongful or negligent omissions of any of the Tenant Parties of which Tenant has prior notice, then the Premises shall be deemed to have been repaired and restored on such earlier date), or (b) the date Tenant or other occupant reoccupies any portion of the Premises for the conduct of its business (in which case the Base Rent and Additional Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy).  The reasonable determination of Landlord’s architect of the date Landlord’s restoration to the Premises shall have been substantially completed shall be controlling unless Tenant disputes same by notice to Landlord given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord setting forth such determination by Landlord, and pending resolution of such dispute, Tenant’s obligation to re-commence the payment of Rent shall commence in accordance with Landlord’s determination.  In the event of a Taking where this Lease is not terminated, a just proportion of the Rent, based on the nature and extent of the interference with Tenant’s business operations, shall be abated for the duration of the Taking.

 

16.                               ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.  Each of Landlord and Tenant shall at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior notice from the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), and the dates to which Rent has been paid in advance, if any, stating whether or not the other party is, to the knowledge of the certifying party, in default in performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default, stating whether or not the certifying party is in default in performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default and such other facts as may be reasonably requested, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the Building or of any interest of Landlord therein, any Mortgagee or prospective mortgagee thereof, any lessor or prospective lessor thereof, any lessee or prospective lessee thereof, or any prospective assignee of any mortgage thereof.  Time is of the essence with respect to any such requested certificate, Tenant hereby

 

35

 

acknowledging the importance of such certificates in mortgage financing arrangements, prospective sales and the like.

 

17.                               HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

 

17.1                        Prohibition.  Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, bring or permit to be brought or kept in or on the Premises or elsewhere in the Building or the Property (i) any inflammable, combustible or explosive fluid, material, chemical or substance (except for standard office supplies stored in proper containers); and (ii) any Hazardous Material (hereinafter defined), other than the types and quantities of Hazardous Materials which are listed on Exhibit 6 attached hereto (“Tenant’s Hazardous Materials”), provided that the same shall at all times be brought upon, kept or used in so-called ‘control rooms’ and in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (hereinafter defined) and accepted environmental practice and (with respect to medical waste and so-called “biohazard” materials) accepted medical practice.  Tenant shall be responsible for assuring that all laboratory uses are adequately and properly vented.  On or before each anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, and on any earlier date during the 12-month period on which Tenant intends to add a new Hazardous Material to, or materially increase the quantity of any Hazardous Material already on, the list of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall submit to Landlord an updated list of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials for Landlord’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to inspect the Premises for compliance with the terms of this Section 17.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials which Tenant does not properly handle, store or dispose of in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws (hereinafter defined), accepted environmental practice and (with respect to medical waste and so-called “biohazard materials) accepted medical practice, Tenant shall, upon written notice from Landlord, no longer have the right to bring such material into the Building or the Property until Tenant has demonstrated, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, that Tenant has implemented programs to thereafter properly handle, store or dispose of such material.

 

17.2                        Environmental Laws.  For purposes hereof, “Environmental Laws” shall mean all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of any local, state or federal governmental authority having jurisdiction concerning environmental, health and safety matters, including but not limited to any discharge by any of the Tenant Parties into the air, surface water, sewers, soil or groundwater of any Hazardous Material (hereinafter defined) whether within or outside the Premises, including, without limitation (a) the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. Section 1251 et seq., (b) the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., (c) the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., (d) the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, 15 U.S.C. Section 2601 et seq., and (e) Chapter 21E of the General Laws of Massachusetts.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply with (i) all Environmental Laws, and (ii) any rules, requirements and safety procedures of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, the City of Cambridge and any insurer of the Building or the Premises with respect to Tenant’s use, storage and disposal of any Hazardous Materials.

 

17.3                        Hazardous Material Defined.  As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” means asbestos, oil or any hazardous, radioactive or toxic substance, material or waste or

 

36

 

petroleum derivative which is or becomes regulated by any Environmental Law.  The term “Hazardous Material” includes, without limitation, oil and/or any material or substance which is (i) designated as a “hazardous substance,” “hazardous material,” “oil,” “hazardous waste” or toxic substance under any Environmental Law.

 

17.4                        Testing.  If any Mortgagee or governmental authority requires testing to determine whether there has been any release of Hazardous Materials and such testing is required as a result of the acts or omissions of any of the Tenant Parties, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand, as additional rent, for the reasonable costs thereof.  Tenant shall execute affidavits, certifications and the like, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time concerning Tenant’s best knowledge and belief concerning the presence of Hazardous Materials in or on the Premises, the Building or the Property; provided, however, that no such requests shall pertain to periods of time prior to the Term Commencement Date.

 

17.5                        Indemnity; Remediation.

 

(a)                                 Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all Claims against any of the Landlord Parties arising out of contamination of any part of the Property or other adjacent property, which contamination arises as a result of:  (i) the presence of Hazardous Material in the Premises, the presence of which is caused by any act or omission of any of the Tenant Parties, or (ii) from a breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Section 17, it being understood and agreed that direct damages may include, without limitation, (A) reasonable costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work or any other response action required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision or any Environmental Law because of Hazardous Material present in the soil, soil vapor, or ground water on or under, or any indoor air in, the Building based upon the circumstances identified in the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii), (B) lost rental revenue resulting from the termination of this Lease or other leases in the Building or from abatements of rent granted during periods when the Building is partially or wholly untenantable or the business operations of tenants or other occupants of the Building are adversely affected as a result of the circumstances identified in the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii), (C) lost rental revenue during a reasonable period of time within which to relet any space in the Building that was the subject of leases terminated as a result of the circumstances identified in the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii), (D) commercially reasonable Reletting Costs with respect to space in the Building that was the subject of leases terminated as a result of the circumstances identified in the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii), and (E) reasonable costs and losses resulting from Landlord’s inability to finance, refinance and/or sell all or any portion of Landlord’s interest in the Property on commercially reasonable terms at any time as a direct result of the circumstances identified in the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii).  This indemnification of the Landlord Parties by Tenant includes, without limitation, reasonable costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work or any other response action required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil, soil vapor, or ground water on or under, or any indoor air in, the Building based upon the circumstances identified in the first sentence of this Section 17.5.  The indemnification and hold harmless obligations of Tenant under this Section

 

37

 

17.5 shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease.  Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material in the Building or otherwise at the Property is caused by any of the Tenant Parties and results in any contamination of any part of the Property or any adjacent property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at Tenant’s sole cost and expense as are necessary to return the Property and/or the Building or any adjacent property to their condition as of the Execution Date, provided that Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s approval of such actions, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such actions, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, would not potentially have any adverse effect on the Property, and, in any event, Landlord shall not withhold its approval of any proposed actions which are required by applicable Environmental Laws.

 

(b)                                 Without limiting the obligations set forth in Section 17.5(a) above, if any Hazardous Material is in, on, under, at or about the Building or the Property as a result of the acts or omissions of any of the Tenant Parties and results in any contamination of any part of the Property or any adjacent property that is in violation of any applicable Environmental Law or that requires the performance of any response action pursuant to any Environmental Law, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at Tenant’s sole cost and expense as are necessary to reduce such Hazardous Material to amounts below any applicable Reportable Quantity, any applicable Reportable Concentration and any other applicable standard set forth in Environmental Laws such that no further response actions are required; provided that Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s written approval of such actions, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such actions would not be reasonably expected to have an adverse effect on the market value or use of the Property for the Permitted Uses, and in any event, Landlord shall not withhold its approval of any proposed actions which are required by applicable Environmental Laws (such approved actions, “Tenant’s Remediation”).

 

(c)                                  In the event that Tenant fails to complete Tenant’s Remediation prior to the end of the Term, then:

 

(i)                                     until the completion of Tenant’s Remediation (as evidenced by the certification of Tenant’s Licensed Site Professional (as such term is defined by applicable Environmental Laws), who shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord) (the “Remediation Completion Date”).  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with respect to the portion of the Premises which reasonably cannot be occupied by a new tenant until completion of Tenant’s Remediation, (A) Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes and (B) Base Rent in an amount equal to the greater of (1) the fair market rental value of such portion of the Premises (determined in substantial accordance with the process described in Section 1.2 above), and (2) Base Rent attributable to such portion of the Premises in effect immediately prior to the end of the Term; and

 

(ii)                                  Tenant shall maintain responsibility for Tenant’s Remediation and Tenant shall complete Tenant’s Remediation as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with all Environmental Laws.  If Tenant does not diligently pursue completion of Tenant’s Remediation, Landlord shall have the right to either (A) assume control for overseeing Tenant’s Remediation, in which event Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Tenant’s Remediation (it being understood and agreed that all costs and expenses of Tenant’s Remediation incurred pursuant to contracts entered into by Tenant shall be deemed reasonable)

 

38

 

within thirty (30) days of demand therefor (which demand shall be made no more often than monthly), and Landlord shall be substituted as the party identified on any governmental filings as the party responsible for the performance of such Tenant’s Remediation or (B) require Tenant to maintain responsibility for Tenant’s Remediation, in which event Tenant shall complete Tenant’s Remediation as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with all Environmental Laws, it being understood that Tenant’s Remediation shall not contain any requirement that Tenant remediate any contamination to levels or standards more stringent than those associated with the Property’s current office, research and development, laboratory, and vivarium uses.

 

(d)                                 The provisions of this Section 17.5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

17.6                        Disclosures.  Prior to bringing (a) any Hazardous Material added to the list of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials in accordance with Section 17.1 into any part of the Property for the first time, and/or (b) a quantity of any of Tenant’s Hazardous Material into any part of the Property that is materially greater than the quantity listed in Exhibit 6 for such Tenant’s Hazardous Material, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the following information with respect thereto to the extent that such information is not already on file with Landlord:  (i) a description of handling, storage, use and disposal procedures; (ii) all plans or disclosures and/or emergency response plans which Tenant has prepared, including without limitation Tenant’s Spill Response Plan, and all plans which Tenant is required to supply to any governmental agency or authority pursuant to any Environmental Laws; and (iii) other information reasonably requested by Landlord.  Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any amendments to such procedures, plans, disclosures and/or response plans implemented by Tenant or required by Legal Requirements.

 

17.7                        Removal.  Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for Hazardous Material and other biohazard disposal services for the Premises.  Such services shall be performed by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and on a sufficient basis to ensure that the Premises are at all times kept neat, clean and free of Hazardous Materials and biohazards except in appropriate, specially marked containers reasonably approved by Landlord.  In addition, if any Legal Requirements or the trash removal company requires that any substances be disposed of separately from ordinary trash, Tenant shall make arrangements at Tenant’s expense for such disposal directly with a qualified and licensed disposal company at a lawful disposal site.

 

18.                               RULES AND REGULATIONS.

 

18.1                        Rules and Regulations.  Tenant will faithfully observe and comply with all rules and regulations promulgated in writing from time to time with respect to the Building, the Property and construction within the Property (collectively, the “Rules and Regulations”).  The current version of the Rules and Regulations is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.  Landlord agrees to enforce the Rules and Regulations against all tenants unaffiliated with Landlord in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner.  In the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Lease and any future rules and regulations of which Tenant has written notice, the provisions of this Lease shall control.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or the terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease as against any other tenant and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for

 

39

 

violation of the same by any other tenant, its servants, employees, agents, contractors, visitors, invitees or licensees.

 

18.2                        Energy Conservation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord may institute upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant such policies, programs and measures as may be necessary, required, or expedient for the conservation and/or preservation of energy or energy services (collectively, the “Conservation Program”), provided however, that the Conservation Program does not, by reason of such policies, programs and measures, materially reduce the level of energy or energy services being provided to the Premises.  Upon receipt of such notice, Tenant shall comply with the Conservation Program.

 

18.3                        Recycling.  Upon reasonable prior written notice, Landlord may establish reasonable policies, programs and measures for the recycling of paper, products, plastic, tin and other materials (a “Recycling Program”).  Upon receipt of such notice, Tenant will comply with the Recycling Program at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

19.                               LAWS AND PERMITS.

 

19.1                        Legal Requirements.  Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for complying with (and keeping the Premises in compliance with) all Legal Requirements which are applicable to Tenant’s particular use or occupancy of, or Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant to, the Premises.  Tenant shall furnish all data and information to governmental authorities, with a copy to Landlord, as required in accordance with Legal Requirements as they relate to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or the Building.  If Tenant receives notice of any violation of Legal Requirements applicable to the Premises or the Building, it shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord.  Nothing contained in this Section 19.1 shall be construed to expand the uses permitted hereunder beyond the Permitted Uses.  Landlord shall comply with any Legal Requirements and with any direction of any public office or officer relating to the maintenance or operation of the Building as a first class combination laboratory, research and development and office building, and the costs so incurred by Landlord shall be included in Operating Costs in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2.

 

19.2                        Required Permits.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, use diligent good faith efforts to apply for, seek and obtain all necessary state and local licenses, permits and approvals needed for the operation of Tenant’s business, but expressly excluding permits for which Landlord is responsible in accordance with Section 3 of this Lease (collectively, the “Required Permits”), on or before the Rent Commencement Date, time being of the essence.  Tenant shall thereafter maintain all Required Permits and the permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises in accordance with Legal Requirements.  Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall at all times comply with the terms and conditions of each such Required Permit and the permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises.  Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in connection with its application for Required Permits.

 

20.                               DEFAULT.

 

20.1                        Events of Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder by Tenant:

 

40

 

(a)                                 If Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent or any other payment required hereunder, as and when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, an Event of Default shall occur hereunder without any obligation of Landlord to give any notice if (i) Tenant fails to make any payment within five (5) business days after the due date therefor, and (ii) Landlord has given Tenant written notice under this Section 20.1(a) on more than one (1) occasion during the twelve (12) month interval preceding such failure by Tenant;

 

(b)                                 If Tenant shall abandon the Premises (whether or not the keys shall have been surrendered or the Rent shall have been paid);

 

(c)                                  If Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate pursuant to Section 16 above or a subordination and attornment agreement pursuant to Section 22 below, within the timeframes set forth therein and such failure continues for five (5) days after notice thereof;

 

(d)                                 If Tenant shall fail to maintain any insurance required hereunder;

 

(e)                                  If Tenant shall fail to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount or deliver a replacement Letter of Credit as required under Section 7 above;

 

(f)                                   If Tenant causes or suffers any release of Hazardous Materials in or near the Property in excess of Reportable Quantities or Reportable Concentrations (as such terms are defined in Environmental Laws);

 

(g)                                  Intentionally omitted;

 

(h)                                 If Tenant shall fail to timely perform its obligations under Section 3 and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice thereof;

 

(i)                                     The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified above, and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord; provided, further, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than ninety (90) days from the date of such notice from Landlord;

 

(j)                                    Intentionally omitted;

 

(k)                                 Tenant shall make an assignment or trust mortgage, or other conveyance or transfer of like nature, of all or a substantial part of its property for the benefit of its creditors,

 

(l)                                     an attachment on mesne process, on execution or otherwise, or other legal process shall issue against Tenant or its property and a sale of any of its assets shall be held thereunder;

 

41

 

(m)                             any judgment, attachment or the like in excess of $100,000 shall be entered, recorded or filed against Tenant in any court, registry, etc. and Tenant shall fail to pay such judgment within thirty (30) days after the judgment shall have become final beyond appeal or to discharge or secure by surety bond such lien, attachment, etc. within thirty (30) days of such entry, recording or filing, as the case may be;

 

(n)                                 the leasehold hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law and shall not be revested in Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter;

 

(o)                                 (o) a receiver, sequesterer, trustee or similar officer shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of all or any part of Tenant’s Property and such appointment shall not be vacated within thirty (30) days; or

 

(p)                                 any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Tenant pursuant to any of the provisions of any Act of Congress or State law relating to bankruptcy, reorganizations, arrangements, compositions or other relief from creditors, and, in the case of any proceeding instituted against it, if Tenant shall fail to have such proceedings dismissed within thirty (30) days or if Tenant is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent as a result of any such proceeding.

 

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand, for up to $1,000.00 of Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation legal fees and costs) incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of each notice of default delivered pursuant to this Section 20.1.

 

20.2                        Remedies.  Upon an Event of Default, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease; and thereupon (and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be available for arrears of Rent or preceding breach of covenant or agreement and without prejudice to Tenant’s liability for damages as hereinafter stated), upon the giving of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified therein as though that were the Expiration Date.  Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the right to utilize the Security Deposit or draw down the entire Letter of Credit, as applicable, and apply the proceeds thereof to its damages hereunder in accordance with Section 7 hereof.  Without being taken or deemed to be guilty of any manner of trespass or conversion, and without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, Landlord may, by lawful process, enter into and upon the Premises (or any part thereof in the name of the whole); repossess the same, as of its former estate; and expel Tenant and those claiming under Tenant.  The words “re-entry” and “re-enter” as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

 

20.3                        Damages - Termination.

 

(a)                                 Upon the termination of this Lease under the provisions of this Section 20, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent up to the time of such termination, shall continue to be liable for any preceding breach of covenant, and in addition, shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:

 

(i)                                     the amount (discounted to present value at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum) by which, at the time of the termination of this Lease (or at any time thereafter if Landlord shall have initially elected damages under Section 20.3(a)(ii) below), (x) the

 

42

 

aggregate of Rent projected over the period commencing with such termination and ending on the Expiration Date, exceeds (y) the aggregate projected rental value of the Premises for such period, taking into account a reasonable time period during which the Premises shall be unoccupied, plus all Reletting Costs (hereinafter defined); or

 

(ii)                                  amounts equal to Rent which would have been payable by Tenant had this Lease not been so terminated, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination and until the Expiration Date, provided, however, if Landlord shall re-let the Premises during such period, that Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such re-letting (including without limitation reimbursement for Operating Costs, Taxes and other expenses under this Lease), such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such re-letting the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease, as well as the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in re-letting, including altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, and all other similar and dissimilar non-reimbursed expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom (collectively, “Reletting Costs”), it being understood that any such re-letting may be for a period equal to or shorter or longer than the remaining Term; and provided, further, that (x) in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder and (y) in no event shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Section 20.3(a)(ii) to a credit in respect of any net rents from a re-letting except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord prior to the commencement of such suit.  If the Premises or any part thereof should be re-let in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot area basis shall be made of the rent received from such re-letting and of the expenses of re-letting.

 

(b)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, in calculating the amount due under Section 20.3(a)(i), above, there shall be included, in addition to the Base Rent, all other considerations to be paid or performed by Tenant during the Term under this Lease, including without limitation Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs and Tenant’s Tax Share of Taxes.  Such calculation shall be made on the assumption that all such considerations would have increased at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum for the balance of the full term hereby granted.  Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been terminated hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that Landlord shall in no event be entitled to collect twice for any of the sums or damages accounted for above.

 

(d)                                 Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages hereunder following any termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 20 or any termination of Tenant’s possession of the Premises.  The obligation of Landlord to use reasonable efforts to mitigate damages shall not be construed to require Landlord to rent all or any portion of the

 

43

 

Premises for a use which, or to a tenant who, would not qualify pursuant to the assignment provisions of this Lease, or to prioritize the renting of the Premises over other space which Landlord may have available in the Building or in other properties owned by Landlord or Landlord’s affiliates.

 

20.4                        Landlord’s Self-Help; Fees and Expenses.  If Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed in this Lease contained, including without limitation the obligation to maintain the Premises in the required condition pursuant to Section 10.1 above, and such failure continues beyond the expiration of the cure periods set forth in Section 20.1 or constitutes an emergency or a violation of Legal Requirements that would subject Landlord to any fine or penalty or poses imminent risk of injury, loss or damage, Landlord may, upon reasonable advance notice, except that no notice shall be required in an emergency, immediately, or at any time thereafter, perform the same for the account of Tenant.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand therefor any reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest at the Default Rate until paid in full.  In addition, Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred (i) in enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or (ii) as a result of Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties, without its fault or negligence, being made party to any litigation pending by or against any of the Tenant Parties.

 

20.5                        Waiver of Redemption, Statutory Notice and Grace Periods.  Tenant does hereby waive and surrender all rights and privileges which it might have under or by reason of any present or future Legal Requirements to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Term hereby demised after being dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided.  Except to the extent prohibited by Legal Requirements, any statutory notice and grace periods provided to Tenant by law are hereby expressly waived by Tenant.

 

20.6                        Landlord’s Remedies Not Exclusive.  The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may at any time be lawfully entitled, and Landlord may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for.

 

20.7                        No Waiver.  Landlord’s failure to seek redress for violation, or to insist upon the strict performance, of any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations promulgated hereunder, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation.  The receipt by Landlord of Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.  The failure of Landlord to enforce any of such Rules and Regulations against Tenant and/or any other tenant in the Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Rules and Regulations.  No provisions of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by either party unless such waiver is in writing signed by such party.  No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment

 

44

 

without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.

 

20.8                        Restrictions on Tenant’s Rights.  During the continuation of any Event of Default, (a) Landlord shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with any notice pursuant to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 above; and (b) Tenant shall not have the right to make, nor to request Landlord’s consent or approval with respect to, any Alterations.

 

20.9                        Landlord Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease unless Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default, provided Landlord commences cure within 30 days) after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation.  After receipt of any default notice from Tenant, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any default by Landlord with diligence.  Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold rent or to set-off or deduct any claim or damages against rent as a result of any default by Landlord or breach by Landlord of its covenants or any warranties or promises hereunder, except in the case of a wrongful eviction of Tenant from the Premises (constructive or actual) by Landlord, unless same continues after notice to Landlord thereof and a opportunity for Landlord to cure the same as set forth above.  In addition, Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs from rent thereafter due and payable under this Lease.

 

21.                               SURRENDER; ABANDONED PROPERTY; HOLD-OVER.

 

21.1                        Surrender

 

(a)                                 Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall (i) peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises (including without limitation all lab benches paid for in whole or in part by Landlord (the “Surrendered Lab Benches”) and all fume hoods, electric, plumbing, heating and sprinkling systems, fixtures and outlets, vaults, paneling, molding, shelving, radiator enclosures, cork, rubber, linoleum and composition floors, ventilating, silencing, air conditioning and cooling equipment therein) broom clean, in good order, repair and condition excepting only ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other insured Casualty; (ii) remove all of Tenant’s Property, all autoclaves and cage washers and, to the extent specified by Landlord in accordance with Section 11 above, Alterations made by Tenant; and (iii) repair any damages to the Premises or the Building caused by the installation or removal of Tenant’s Property and/or such Alterations.  Tenant’s obligations under this Section 21.1(a) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  From time to time, Landlord and Tenant shall execute such agreements as may be reasonably necessary to identify the Surrendered Lab Benches, provided, however, that the failure to execute such agreements shall not alter or otherwise modify Tenant’s obligations herein.

 

(b)                                 At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term (or, if applicable, within five (5) business days after any earlier termination of this Lease), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a narrative description of the actions proposed (or required by any Legal

 

45

 

Requirements) to be taken by Tenant in order to render the Premises (including, without limitation, floors, walls, ceilings, counters, piping, supply lines, waste lines and plumbing in or serving the Premises and all exhaust or other ductwork in or serving the Premises) free of Hazardous Materials and otherwise released for unrestricted use and occupancy (the “Surrender Plan”).  The Surrender Plan (i) shall be accompanied by a current list of (A) all local, state and federal licenses, permits and approvals held by or on behalf of any Tenant Party with respect to Hazardous Materials in, on, under, at or about the Premises, and (B) Tenant’s Hazardous Materials, and (ii) shall be subject to the review and reasonable approval of Landlord’s environmental consultant.  In connection with review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional non-proprietary information concerning the use of and operations within the Premises as Landlord shall reasonably request.  On or before the expiration of the Term (or within thirty (30) days after any earlier termination of this Lease, during which period Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises shall be governed by Section 21.3 below), Tenant shall (i) perform or cause to be performed all actions described in the approved Surrender Plan, and (ii) deliver to Landlord a certification from a certified industrial hygienist reasonably acceptable to Landlord certifying that the Premises do not contain any Hazardous Materials and evidence that the approved  Surrender Plan shall have been satisfactorily completed by a contractor reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to cause Landlord’s environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional procedures as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the expiration of the Term (or, if applicable, the date which is thirty (30) days after any earlier termination of this Lease), free of Hazardous Materials and otherwise available for unrestricted use and occupancy.  Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to deliver the Surrender Plan and any report by Landlord’s environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the Premises to third parties.  Such third parties and the Landlord Parties shall be entitled to rely on the Surrender Report.  If Tenant shall fail to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address the use of Hazardous Materials by any of the Tenant Parties in, on, at, under or about the Premises, (A) Landlord shall have the right to take any such actions as Landlord may deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises and the Property are surrendered in the condition required hereunder, the cost of which actions shall be reimbursed by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after demand; and (B) if the Term shall have ended, unless and until Landlord elects to take such actions to assure that the Premises are surrendered in the condition required hereunder, Tenant shall be deemed to be a holdover tenant subject to the provisions of Section 21.3 below until the date on which Tenant delivers the Surrender Report (in the form required hereunder) to Landlord.  Tenant’s obligations under this Section 21.1(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

 

(c)                                  No act or thing done by Landlord during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord.  Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, no employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Premises prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

 

46

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove from the Premises, prior to the end of the Term, any item installed by or for Tenant and which, pursuant to Legal Requirements, must be removed therefrom before the Premises may be used by a subsequent tenant.

 

(e)                                  Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any warranties in effect on the last day of the Term with respect to any fixtures and Alterations installed in the Premises.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of any such warranties prior to the expiration of the Term (or, if the Lease is earlier terminated, within thirty (30) days thereafter).

 

21.2                        Abandoned Property.  After the expiration or earlier termination hereof, if Tenant fails to remove any property from the Building or the Premises which Tenant is obligated by the terms of this Lease to remove within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord, such property (the “Abandoned Property”) shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned, and may either be stored at Tenant’s cost, or retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit.  If any item of Abandoned Property shall be sold, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord may receive and retain the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option, to the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under Section 20 hereof or pursuant to law, and to any arrears of Rent.

 

21.3                        Holdover.  If any of the Tenant Parties holds over after the end of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed a tenant-at-sufferance subject to the provisions of this Lease; provided that whether or not Landlord has previously accepted payments of Rent from Tenant, (i) Tenant shall pay Base Rent at 150% of the highest rate of Base Rent payable during the Term, (ii) Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord all additional rent, and (iii) if such holdover continues for more than five (5) business days, Tenant shall be liable for all damages, including without limitation lost business and consequential damages, incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over, Tenant hereby acknowledging that Landlord may need the Premises after the end of the Term for other tenants and that the damages which Landlord may suffer as the result of Tenant’s holding over cannot be determined as of the Execution Date.  Nothing contained herein shall grant Tenant the right to holdover after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

 

22.                               MORTGAGEE RIGHTS.

 

22.1                        Subordination.  Tenant’s rights and interests under this Lease shall be (i) subject and subordinate to any ground lease (including without limitation the Ground Lease), and to any mortgages, deeds of trust, overleases, or similar instruments covering the Premises, the Building and/or the Land and to all advances, modifications, renewals, replacements, and extensions thereof (each of the foregoing, a “Mortgage”), or (ii) if any Mortgagee elects, prior to the lien of any present or future Mortgage.  Tenant further shall attorn to and recognize any successor landlord, whether through foreclosure or otherwise, as if the successor landlord were the originally named landlord.  The provisions of this Section 22.1 shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination or attornment; however, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such subordination and attornment in such form as shall be requested by any such holder within fifteen (15) days of

 

47

 

request therefor.  Landlord shall request that any Mortgagee execute a so-called subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with respect to this Lease.

 

22.2                        Notices.  Tenant shall give each Mortgagee of which Tenant has written notice the same notices given to Landlord concurrently with the notice to Landlord, and each Mortgagee shall have a reasonable opportunity thereafter to cure a Landlord default, and Mortgagee’s curing of any of Landlord’s default shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

 

22.3                        Mortgagee Liability.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if any Mortgage shall be foreclosed, (a) the liability of the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns shall exist only so long as such Mortgagee or purchaser is the owner of the Premises, and such liability shall not continue or survive after further transfer of ownership; and (b) such Mortgagee and its successors or assigns shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor under this Lease; (ii) liable for the performance of Landlord’s covenants pursuant to the provisions of this Lease which arise and accrue prior to such entity succeeding to the interest of Landlord under this Lease or acquiring such right to possession; (iii) subject to any offsets or defense which Tenant may have at any time against Landlord; (iv) bound by any base rent or other sum which Tenant may have paid previously for more than one (1) month; or (v) liable for the performance of any covenant of Landlord under this Lease which is capable of performance only by the original Landlord.

 

22.4                        Ground Lease.

 

(a)                                 Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Landlord, Tenant and Fee Owner shall execute an agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.

 

(b)                                 Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant, as of the Execution Date, that (i) the copy of the Ground Lease provided to Tenant is, subject to redaction of certain economic terms, a complete and accurate copy of the Ground Lease, (ii) the Ground Lease has not been amended, (iii) the Ground Lease is in full force and effect and there exists no default or state of facts which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default thereunder or permit either party to terminate the Ground Lease, and (iv) the consent by or approval of Fee Owner with respect to the execution of this Lease is not required under the Ground Lease.

 

(c)                                  Landlord hereby covenants (i) to promptly perform its obligations under the Ground Lease and not to cause a default under the Ground Lease, and (ii) not to amend the Ground Lease in any way that materially adversely affects Tenant’s rights or obligations under this Lease.

 

23.                               QUIET ENJOYMENT.  Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant keeps and performs each and every covenant, agreement, term, provision and condition herein contained on the part and on behalf of Tenant to be kept and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term from and against the claims of all persons lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord subject, nevertheless, to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, any matters of record or of which

 

48

 

Tenant has knowledge and to any Mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate, as hereinabove set forth.

 

24.                               NOTICES.  Any notice, consent, request, bill, demand or statement hereunder (each, a “Notice”) by either party to the other party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when either delivered by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier (in either case with evidence of delivery or refusal thereof) addressed as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice from Landlord to Tenant regarding ordinary business operations (e.g., exercise of a right of access to the Premises, maintenance activities, invoices, etc.) may also be given by written notice delivered by hand or by facsimile to any person at the Premises whom Landlord reasonably believes is authorized to receive such notice on behalf of Tenant without copies as specified above.  Either party may at any time change the address or specify an additional address for such Notices by delivering or mailing, as aforesaid, to the other party a notice stating the change and setting forth the changed or additional address, provided

such changed or additional address is within the United States.  Notices shall be effective upon the date of receipt or refusal thereof.

 

25.                               MISCELLANEOUS.

 

25.1                        Separability.  If any provision of this Lease or portion of such provision or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is for any reason held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease (or the remainder of such provision) and the application thereof to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

 

25.2                        Captions.  The captions are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Lease nor the intent of any provisions thereof.

 

25.3                        Broker.  Tenant and Landlord each warrants and represents that it has dealt with no broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than Transwestern/RBJ and Cushman & Wakefield (collectively, “Broker”).  Tenant and Landlord each agrees to defend, indemnify and save the other harmless from and against any Claims arising in breach of the representation and warranty set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.  Landlord shall be solely responsible for the payment of any brokerage commissions to Broker.

 

25.4                        Entire Agreement.  This Lease, Lease Summary Sheet and Exhibits 1-8 attached hereto and incorporated herein contain the entire and only agreement between the parties and any and all statements and representations, written and oral, including previous correspondence and agreements between the parties hereto, are merged herein.  Tenant acknowledges that all representations and statements upon which it relied in executing this Lease are contained herein and that Tenant in no way relied upon any other statements or representations, written or oral.  This Lease may not be modified orally or in any manner other than by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

 

25.5                        Governing Law.  This Lease is made pursuant to, and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and any applicable local municipal rules, regulations, by-laws, ordinances and the like.

 

25.6                        Representation of Authority.  By his or her execution hereof, each of the signatories on behalf of the respective parties hereby warrants and represents to the other that he or she is duly authorized to execute this Lease on behalf of such party.  Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that any requisite resolution, corporate authority and any other necessary consents have been duly adopted and obtained.

 

25.7                        Expenses Incurred by Landlord Upon Tenant Requests.  Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with all requests by Tenant for consents, approvals or execution of collateral documentation related to this Lease, including, without limitation, costs incurred by Landlord in the review and approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications in connection with proposed Alterations to be made by Tenant to the Premises or in connection with requests by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to make a Transfer.  Such costs shall be deemed to be additional rent under this Lease.

 

50

 

25.8                        Survival.  Without limiting any other obligation which may survive the expiration or prior termination of the Term, all obligations on the part of each party to indemnify, defend, or hold the other harmless, as set forth in this Lease shall survive the expiration or prior termination of the Term.

 

25.9                        Limitation of Liability.  Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim against Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties, or the assets of any of the Landlord Parties, for breach of this Lease or otherwise, other than against Landlord’s interest in the Building and in the uncollected rents, issues and profits thereof, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability of Landlord under this Lease.  This Section 26.9 shall not limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant specifically agree that in no event shall (a) any officer, director, trustee, employee or representative of Landlord or any of the other Landlord Parties ever be personally liable for any obligation under this Lease, (b) Landlord or any of the other Landlord Parties be liable for consequential, punitive or incidental damages or for lost profits whatsoever in connection with this Lease, (c) any officer, director, trustee, employee or representative of Tenant or any of the other Tenant Parties ever be personally liable for any obligation under this Lease, or (d) Tenant or any of the other Tenant Parties be liable for consequential, punitive or incidental damages or for lost profits whatsoever in connection with this Lease except for such damages arising as a result of Tenant’s breach of its obligations under Section 21.3.

 

25.10                 Binding Effect.  The covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party hereto is named or referred to, except that no violation of the provisions of Section 13 hereof shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant.

 

25.11                 Landlord Obligations upon Transfer.  Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Building, Landlord shall be entirely freed and relieved from the performance and observance thereafter of all covenants and obligations hereunder on the part of Landlord to be performed and observed, it being understood and agreed in such event (and it shall be deemed and construed as a covenant running with the land) that the person succeeding to Landlord’s ownership of said reversionary interest shall thereupon and thereafter assume, and perform and observe, any and all of such covenants and obligations of Landlord, except as otherwise agreed in writing.

 

25.12                 No Grant of Interest.  Tenant shall not grant any security interest whatsoever in (a) any fixtures within the Premises or (b) any item paid in whole or in part by Landlord without the consent of Landlord.

 

25.13                 No Air Rights.  No rights to any view or to light or air over any property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease.  If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily darkened or the light therefrom is obstructed by reason of any repairs, improvements, maintenance or cleaning in or about the Property, the same shall be without liability to Landlord and without any reduction or diminution of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

 

51

 

25.14                 Financial Information.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s reasonable request (which request shall be made no more often than twice per calendar year), Tenant’s most recently completed balance sheet and related statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flows statements (audited if available) reviewed by an independent certified public accountant and certified by an officer of Tenant as being true and correct in all material respects.  Any such financial information may be relied upon by any actual or potential lessor, purchaser, or mortgagee of the Property or any portion thereof.

W I T N E S S E T H

 

REFERENCE is hereby made to that certain Master Lease Agreement dated as of May 15, 2014 by and between Master Lessor, as landlord, and Master Tenant, as tenant (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Master Lease”) with respect to the property commonly known as 620 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Massachusetts (as more particularly described in the Master Lease, the “Property”).

 

REFERENCE is also hereby made to that certain lease dated on or about the date hereof by and between Master Tenant, as landlord, and Subtenant, as tenant (as the same may be amended in accordance with Section 5 below, the “Sublease”), with respect to a portion of the Property consisting of approximately 11,833 rentable square feet on the second (2nd) floor (the “Subleased Premises”) of the building located on the Property; and WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditioned hereinafter set forth, Master Lessor has agreed (a) to recognize the rights of Subtenant under the Sublease, and (b) not to disturb Subtenant’s use and enjoyment of the Subleased Premises.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Incorporation of Recitals:  Capitalized Terms.  The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated by reference.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them as set forth in the Master Lease.

 

2.             Sublease.  Master Tenant and Subtenant each hereby warrants and represents that the copy of the Sublease delivered to Master Lessor is a true, complete and accurate copy of the Sublease, and that there are no other agreements, contracts or documents between Master Tenant and Subtenant relating to Subtenant’s rights with respect to the Subleased Premises.

 

3.             Subtenant Not To Be Disturbed.  So long as Subtenant is not in default (beyond any period given Subtenant by the terms of the Sublease to cure such default) in the payment of rent or additional rent or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Sublease on Subtenant’s part to be performed, (a) Subtenant’s possession of the Subleased Premises, and its rights and privileges under the Sublease, including but not limited to any extension or renewal rights, if

 

1

 

any, shall not be diminished or interfered with by Master Lessor, and (b) Master Lessor will not join Subtenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding terminating Master Tenant’s possession of the Property unless such joinder is necessary to terminate such possession and then only for such purpose and not for the purpose of terminating the Sublease.

 

4.             Tenant To Attorn To Master Lessor.  If the Master Lease is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, or if Master Tenant rejects the Sublease in the course of a bankruptcy proceeding, or if Master Lessor purchases Master Tenant’s leasehold interest pursuant to Article XIX of the Master Lease, then (a) the Sublease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Master Lessor and Subtenant (subject to Section 8 below); provided, however, that Master Lessor and its assigns shall not be (i) liable for any misrepresentation, act or omission of Master Tenant, (ii) subject to any counterclaim, demand or offset which Subtenant may have against Master Tenant; (iii) liable for the return of any security deposit or letter of credit not actually received by Master Lessor and with respect to which Subtenant agrees to look solely to Master Tenant for refund or reimbursement; (iv) bound by any advance payment of rent or additional rent or any other sums made by Subtenant to Master Tenant, except for rent or additional rent applicable to the then-current unless such advance payment is received by Master Lessor; (v) obligated to cure any defaults under the Sublease of Master Tenant which occurred prior to the termination of the Master Lease, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not release Master Lessor from liability for any default of its obligations under the Lease continuing after the date on which Master Lessor succeeds to Master Tenant’s interest under the Sublease, including without limitation any maintenance obligations; or (vi) bound by any covenant to undertake, complete, or pay for any improvements to the Subleased Premises; and (b) Subtenant shall attorn to Master Lessor as its landlord under the Sublease, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments.  Master Lessor and Subtenant each hereby agrees to execute an instrument in form and substance reasonably acceptable to both parties acknowledging the continuation of the Sublease for the Subleased Premises as a direct lease for the Subleased Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  In addition, Subtenant shall execute and deliver, upon the request of Master Lessor, an instrument or certificate regarding the status of the Sublease consisting of statements, if true (and if not true, specifying in what respect), in the case of the Sublease by Subtenant (A) that the Sublease is in full force and effect, (B) the amounts and date through which rentals have been paid, (C) the commencement date, rent commencement date and duration of the term of the Sublease, (D) that to the best of its knowledge and belief, no default, or state of facts, which with the passage of time, or notice, or both, would constitute a default, exists on the part of either party to the Sublease, and (E) the dates on which payments of additional rent, if any, are due under the Sublease.

 

5.             Sublease Amendments.  Subtenant shall not amend the Sublease without the prior written consent of Master Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such consent may be withheld by Master Lessor in its sole and absolute discretion if such amendment (a) reduces the rent payable under the Sublease, (b) provides for any expansion rights, (c) extends the term of the Sublease in addition to Subtenant’s current right(s) to extend the term under the Sublease, if any, (d) reduces any of the liabilities and obligations of Subtenant under the Sublease, or (e) increases any of the obligations of Master Tenant under the Sublease.  Any such amendment made without Master Lessor’s consent shall not be binding on Master Lessor.

 

2

 

6.             Master Lessor’s Right to Notice and Cure.  Subtenant covenants and agrees to:  (a) concurrently give Master Lessor any default notices given to Master Tenant under the Sublease at the following address(es) until otherwise specified in writing by Master Lessor:  MIT 620 Memorial LLC, c/o MIT Investment Management Company, 238 Main Street, Suite 200, Cambridge, MA 02142, Attention:  Managing Director of Real Estate, with a copy to Goulston & Storrs, P.C., 400 Atlantic Avenue, Boston, MA 02110, Attention:  Colleen P. Hussey, Esq.; (b) provide Master Lessor with at least ten (10) days plus the number of days (and the same opportunities and rights) as are available to Master Tenant under the Sublease to cure any of Master Tenant’s defaults thereunder; and (c) accept Master Lessor’s curing of any of Master Tenant’s defaults under the Sublease as performance by Master Tenant thereunder.

 

7.             Amendments.  This Agreement may not be waived, changed, or discharged orally, but only by agreement in writing and signed by Master Lessor, Master Tenant and Subtenant, and any oral waiver, change, or discharge of this Agreement or any provisions hereof shall be without authority and shall be of no force and effect.

 

8.             Revisions to Sublease.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Sublease to the contrary, in the event that the Master Lease is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, or if Master Tenant rejects the Sublease in the course of a bankruptcy proceeding:

 

(a)           Master Lessor’s obligations with respect to reconciliation of, and Subtenant’s inspection of records relating to, Operating Costs shall be limited to the extent that Master Lessor does not receive all records and books relating to such Operating Costs.

 

(b)           As of the date of such termination or rejection, all representations and warranties on the part of “Landlord” contained in the Lease shall be deemed deleted and of no further force and effect.

 

(c)           Master Lessor shall not have any liability or obligations pursuant to the brokerage provision of the Sublease.

 

9.             Security Deposit.  If the Master Lease is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, or if Master Tenant rejects the Sublease in the course of a bankruptcy proceeding, or if Master Lessor purchases Master Tenant’s leasehold interest pursuant to Article XIX of the Master Lease, then Master Tenant shall deliver to Master Lessor the cash security deposit and the original letter of credit (including any amendments thereto), if any.  In the event that Master Tenant fails to deliver the same, Subtenant shall, at Master Lessor’s written request and at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, use commercially reasonably efforts (including, without limitation, the payment of any fees required by the issuer of any such letter of credit and the execution of such reasonable documents as Master Lessor may deem necessary) in order to (a) cause Master Tenant to deliver to Master Lessor any cash security deposit, and (b) cause the original letter of credit issued to Master Tenant to be (i) assigned to Master Lessor or (ii) terminated or canceled.  If such letter of credit is so terminated or canceled, Master Tenant shall deliver to Master Lessor a new original letter of credit naming Master Lessor as beneficiary and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth in the Sublease.

 

3

 

10.          Relation between Master Lessor and Master Tenant.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at the time that Master Lessor succeeds to the interest of Master Tenant as landlord under the Sublease, Master Tenant directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Master Lessor, then, in such event, Master Lessor agrees that no term, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be interpreted or enforced by Master Lessor in any manner that would have the effect of amending or modifying the Sublease, releasing Master Lessor from any obligation under the Sublease or otherwise reducing the obligations of the landlord thereunder or increasing the obligations of Subtenant thereunder.

 

11.          Miscellaneous.  This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to the laws governing conflicts of laws.  If any term of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the application or such term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected.  This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Master Lessor, Master Tenant and Subtenant and their respective successors and assigns.  Each party has cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and, therefore, in any construction to be made of this Agreement, the same shall not be construed against either parry.  In the event of litigation relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements and discussions, and may not be amended, waived, discharged or terminated except by a written instrument signed by all the parties hereto.

WHEREAS, Tenant shall pay the balance of the Work Costs in accordance with Section 3.4(b)(iv) of the Lease.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein reserved and contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.  Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

 

This Second Amendment to Lease (this “Second Amendment”) is made as of February 22,  2018 by and between 620 MEMORIAL LEASEHOLD LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company with an address c/o MIT Cambridge Real Estate LLC, 238 Main Street, Suite 200, Cambridge, MA 02142 (“Landlord”), and SCHOLAR ROCK, INC., a Delaware corporation with an address of 620 Memorial Drive, Second (2nd) Floor, Cambridge, MA 02139 (“Tenant”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant executed that certain Lease dated March 5, 2015, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of February 22, 2016 (collectively, the “Lease”), pursuant to which Landlord is leasing to Tenant certain space consisting of approximately 11,619 rentable square feet on the second (2nd) floor (as more particularly described in the Lease, the “Original Premises”) of the building located at 620 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA (the “Building”):

 

WHEREAS, the Initial Term of the Lease is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2020;

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant wish to extend the Initial Term of the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

 

WHEREAS, Tenant wishes to lease additional premises on the second (2nd) floor of the Building consisting of approximately 9,132 rentable square feet (as more particularly shown on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, the “Expansion Space”);

 

WHEREAS, Landlord is willing to lease the Expansion Space to Tenant on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant wish to amend the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein reserved and contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Recitals; Capitalized Terms.  The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated by reference.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them as set forth in the Lease.

 

2.                                      Extension of Term.

 

(a)                                 Extension of Initial Term.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, effective as of the ES Commencement Date (hereinafter defined), the Initial Term of the Lease shall, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Lease, end on the last day of the fifth (5th) Expansion Space Year (hereinafter defined).

 

 

(b)                                 Extension Right.  As of the ES Commencement Date, Section 1.2 of the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

(a)                                 Provided (i) Tenant, an Affiliated Entity (hereinafter defined) and/or a Successor (hereinafter defined) is/are then occupying at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Extension Premises(1) (hereinafter defined) on the date of the Extension Notice (hereinafter defined); and (ii) there is no Event of Default (1) as of the date of the Extension Notice (hereinafter defined), and (2) at the commencement of the Extension Term (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term with respect to the Original Premises and/or the Expansion Space for one (1) additional term of five (5) years (the “Extension Term”), commencing as of the expiration of the Initial Tenn.  Tenant must exercise such option to extend by giving Landlord written notice (the “Extension Notice”) indicating the portion of the Premises with respect to which Tenant is extending the Term (i.e., the Original Premises and/or the Expansion Space) (the “Extension Premises”) on or before the date that is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then-current term of this Lease, time being of the essence (it being understood and agreed that, if the Extension Notice does not indicate the portion of the Premises with respect to which Tenant is extending the Term, Tenant shall be deemed to have designated both the Original Premises and the Expansion Space as the Extension Premises).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may nullify Tenant’s exercise of its option to extend the Term by written notice to Tenant (the “Nullification Notice”) if (A) on the date Landlord receives the Extension Notice, an event then exists which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder and (B) Tenant fails to cure the default described in the Nullification Notice within the applicable cure period set forth in Section 20.1 of the Lease after receipt of the Nullification Notice (Landlord hereby agreeing to acknowledge in writing if Tenant does cure such default within such applicable cure period, in which event the Nullification Notice will be of no force and effect).  Upon the timely giving of the Extension Notice, the Term shall be deemed extended with respect to the Extension Premises upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent during the Extension Term shall be calculated in accordance with this Section 1.2, Landlord shall have no obligation to construct or renovate the Extension Premises and Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term.  If Tenant fails to timely give the Extension Notice, as aforesaid, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term.  Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant’s proper and timely exercise of such option to extend the Term shall be self-executing, the parties shall promptly execute a lease amendment reflecting such Extension Term for the Extension Premises after Tenant exercises such option.  The execution of such lease amendment shall not be deemed to waive any of the conditions to Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Section 1.2.

 

(1)  i.e., if the Extension Premises consists of only the Original Premises, then Tenant, an Affiliated Entity and/or a Successor must then be occupying at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Original Premises; if the Extension Premises consists of only the Expansion Space, then Tenant, an Affiliated Entity and/or a Successor must then be occupying at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Expansion Space; and if the Extension Premises consists of the Original Premises and the Expansion Space, then Tenant, an Affiliated Entity and/or a Successor must then be occupying at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the entire Premises (the Original Premises and the Expansion Space)

(b)                                 The Base Rent with respect to the Extension Premises during the Extension Term (the “Extension Term Base Rent”) shall be determined in accordance with the process described hereafter.  Extension Term Base Rent shall be the greater of (i) Base Rent for the last Rent Year of the prior term, on a per rentable square foot basis, or (ii) the fair market rental value of the Extension Premises as of the commencement of the Extension Term as determined in accordance with the process described below, for renewals of first-class combination laboratory and office space in the East Cambridge/Cambridgeport area of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, with the length of the Extension Term and the credit standing of Tenant to be taken into account.  Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Extension Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of its determination of the Extension Term Base Rent.  Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent (“Tenant’s Response Notice”).  If Tenant fails timely to deliver Tenant’s Response “Notice, Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent shall be binding on Tenant.

 

(c)                                  If and only if Tenant’s Response Notice is timely delivered to Landlord and indicates both that Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent and desires to submit the matter to arbitration, then the Extension Term Base Rent shall be determined in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Section 1.2(c).  In such event, within ten (10) days after receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s Response Notice indicating Tenant’s desire to submit the determination of the Extension Term Base Rent to arbitration, Tenant and Landlord shall each notify the other, in writing, of their respective selections of an appraiser (respectively, “Landlord’s Appraiser” and “Tenant’s Appraiser”).  Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser shall then jointly select a third appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”) within ten (10) days of their appointment.  All of the appraisers selected shall be individuals with at least five (5) consecutive years’ commercial appraisal experience in the area in which the Premises are located, shall be members of the Appraisal Institute (M.A.I.), and, in the case of the Third Appraiser, shall not have acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant within five (5) years of his or her selection.  The three appraisers shall determine the Extension Term Base Rent in accordance with the requirements and criteria set forth in Section 1.2(b) above, employing a process whereby Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser each sets forth its determination of the Extension Term Base Rent as defined above, and the Third Appraiser must select one or the other (it being understood that the Third Appraiser shall be expressly prohibited from selecting a compromise figure).  Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser shall deliver their determinations of the Extension Term Base Rent to the Third Appraiser within five (5) days of the appointment of the Third Appraiser and the Third Appraiser shall render his or her decision within ten (10) days after receipt of both of the other two determinations of the Extension Term Base Rent.  The Third Appraiser’s decision shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant.  Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and shall share equally in the cost of the Third Appraiser.

3.                                      Lease of Expansion Space.

 

(a)                                 Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Expansion Space for a term (the “ES Term”) commencing on the date on which Landlord delivers the Expansion Space to Tenant in the condition specified in Section 3(b) below (the “ES Commencement Date”) and ending on the last day of the Term of the Lease (as it may be extended pursuant to the Lease as amended hereby), subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease (including without limitation the payment of utility charges) except as expressly set forth in this Second Amendment.  The ES Commencement Date is targeted to occur on or about April 1, 2018.  Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice at least ten (10) business days in advance of the date on which Landlord reasonably estimates the ES Commencement Date will occur.  From and after the ES Commencement Date, the Premises shall be deemed to mean, for all purposes of the Lease (as amended hereby), collectively the Original Premises, the Expansion Space and former Common Areas on the second floor of the Building (comprising a total of 20,751 rentable square feet in the aggregate and consisting of all rentable square footage on the second floor of the Building), and accordingly, there will be no Common Areas on the second floor of the Building other than the elevators and stairwells.

 

(b)                                 On the ES Commencement Date, (i) the Common Areas inside the Building shall be in compliance with Legal Requirements, and (ii) Landlord shall deliver the Expansion Space with all base building systems, including but not limited to HVAC, electrical, life safety and plumbing systems, serving the same in good working condition, with the portion of the Expansion Space currently leased to another tenant having been decommissioned by a Certified Industrial Hygienist.  Subject to the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall lease the Expansion Space in its “AS IS,” “WHERE IS” condition and with all faults on the ES Commencement Date, without representations or warranties, express or implied, in fact or by law, of any kind, and without recourse to Landlord.

 

(c)                                  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the current tenant of the Expansion Space to timely vacate the Expansion Space (which efforts shall not be deemed to include litigation).

 

4.                                      Base Rent.

 

(a)                                 For purposes hereof, the “ES Rent Commencement Date” shall occur on the ES Commencement Date, provided, however, if the ES Commencement Date does not occur on or before May 1, 2018, then the ES Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed beyond the ES Commencement Date one day for every day between May 1, 2018 and the ES Commencement Date.  Once the ES Commencement Date and the ES Rent Commencement Date are determined, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an agreement confirming the ES Commencement Date and the ES Rent Commencement Date.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, commencing on the ES Rent Commencement Date, Base Rent with respect to the Expansion Space during the balance of the Initial Term shall be paid in the following amounts and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Lease:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, with respect to the period commencing on November 1, 2020 and ending on the last day of the Initial Term (as extended pursuant to Section 2 of this Second Amendment), Base Rent with respect to the Original Premises shall be calculated at the same rate per rentable square foot as Base Rent for the Expansion Space.  For illustration purposes only, if November 1, 2020 occurs during Expansion Space Year 3, Base Rent with respect to the Original Premises for the period commencing on November 1, 2020 and ending on the last day of Expansion Space Year 3, inclusive, shall be $74,990.96 per month (calculated at $77.45 per rentable square foot per year).

 

5.                                      Tenant’s Share.  From and after the ES Commencement Date, Tenant’s Share is calculated as 23.187% (20,751 / 89,496) and Tenant’s Tax Share is calculated as 23.187% (20,751 / 89,496).

(a)                                 Tenant’s ES Work.  Tenant shall have the right to perform Alterations to the Expansion Space in accordance with the terms of the Lease, including without limitation Section II thereof (“Tenant’s ES Work”).  Except for the ES Allowance (hereinafter defined) and the ES Additional Allowance (hereinafter defined), all of Tenant’s ES Work shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

 

(b)                                 ES Allowance.

 

(i)                                     As an inducement to Tenant’s entering into this Second Amendment, Landlord shall, subject to Section 6(b)(ii) below and the last sentence of this Section 6(b)(i), provide to Tenant a special tenant improvement allowance equal to Ninety-One Thousand Three Hundred Twenty and 00/100 Dollars ($91,320.00) (the “ES Allowance”) to be

used by Tenant solely for costs incurred by Tenant for Tenant’s ES Work.  For the purposes hereof, the cost to be so reimbursed by Landlord shall not include (A) the cost of any of Tenant’s Property, including without limitation telecommunications and computer equipment and all associated wiring and cabling, any de-mountable decorations, artwork and partitions, signs, and trade fixtures, (B) the cost of any fixtures or Alterations that will be removed at the end of the Term, (C) any fees paid to Tenant, any Affiliate or Successor, (D) more than Thirteen Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-Eight Dollars ($13,698) of any architectural and/or engineering fees, and (E) any other so-called “soft costs.”

 

(ii)                                  Subject to Section 6(b)(iii) below, Landlord shall pay the ES Allowance to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of (A) reasonable evidence of the substantial completion of Tenant’s ES Work, (B) reasonable evidence that the cost of Tenant’s ES Work, less the amounts referenced in the last sentence of Section 6(b)(i) above, equaled or exceeded the ES Allowance (including, without limitation, invoices from Tenant’s contractors, vendors, service providers and consultants (collectively, “Contractors”) and certifications executed by the Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer of Tenant as to the total cost of Tenant’s ES Work and compliance with this Section 6(b)), and (C) final lien waivers and subordinations of lien, as specified in M.G.L. Chapter 254, Section 32 (“Lien Waivers”) with respect to all items, services and work performed in connection with Tenant’s ES Work.

If the cost of the first phase of Tenant’s ES Work, less the amounts referenced in the last sentence of Section 6(b)(i) above, is equal to or exceeds the ES Allowance (and the ES Additional Allowance, if applicable), then Landlord shall pay the entire ES Allowance (and the ES Additional Allowance, if applicable) to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of the items referenced in the first paragraph of this Section 6(b)(ii) (as modified by this paragraph).  If the cost of the first phase of Tenant’s ES Work (less the amounts referenced in the last sentence of Section 6(b)(i) above) is less than the ES Allowance (and the ES Additional Allowance, if applicable), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost of each phase of Tenant’s ES Work (less the amounts referenced in the last sentence of Section 6(b)(i) above) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the items referenced in the first paragraph of this Section 6(b)(ii) (as modified by this paragraph) applicable to such phase until the ES Allowance (and the ES Additional Allowance, if applicable) has been paid in full, it being acknowledged and agreed that in no event shall such reimbursements in the aggregate exceed the ES Allowance (and the ES Additional Allowance, if applicable).

 

(iii)                               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained:  (A) Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any portion of the ES Allowance and/or the ES Additional Allowance (collectively, the “Allowances”) (x) before the ES Commencement Date or (y) after the date (the “Outside Requisition Date”) which is twelve (12) months after the ES Commencement Date; provided, however, that if Tenant certifies to Landlord that it is engaged in a good faith dispute with any contractor, such Outside Requisition Date shall be extended while such dispute is ongoing, so long as Tenant is diligently prosecuting the resolution of such dispute; (B) Tenant shall not be entitled to any unused portion of the Allowances; and

(C) Landlord’s obligation to pay any portion of the Allowances shall be conditioned upon there existing no default by Tenant in its obligations under the Lease at the time that Landlord would otherwise be required to make such payment (it being understood and agreed that if Tenant cures such default prior to the expiration of the notice and/or cure periods set forth in Section 20,1 of the Lease, Landlord shall make such payment promptly after the cure is effectuated).

 

(c)                                  ES Additional Allowance.  By written notice (the “ES Additional Allowance Notice”) delivered to Landlord on or before the date that is six (6) months following the ES Commencement Date, time being of the essence, Tenant shall have the right to receive an additional allowance in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thirty-Six Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty and 00/100 Dollars ($136,980.00) (the “ES Additional Allowance”).

 Upon (i) the execution

agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

THIS JOINDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

To the extent any provision of this Joinder is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Joinder in any jurisdiction. 

This Joinder may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the
same agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder by facsimile or other electronic transmission including “pdf” or “tif” shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Joinder.

converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Company hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise
provided herein, the applicable amount of any Currency for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent as so determined by the Administrative Agent. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Credit Extension, conversion,
continuation or prepayment of a Loan, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Credit Extension is denominated in an Alternate Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternate Currency
Equivalent of such Dollars, as determined by the Administrative Agent.

currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the
date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Credit Extension in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect
to such Credit Extension, at the end of the then current Interest Period. Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to
reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro. References herein to minimum Dollar amounts and integral multiples stated in Dollars, where they shall
also be applicable to Alternate Currency, shall be deemed to refer to approximate Alternate Currency Equivalents. 
 SECTION 1.7 American
Legal Terms. References to any legal term or concept (including without limitation those for any action, remedy, method of judicial proceeding, document, statute, court official, governmental authority or agency) shall in respect of any
jurisdiction other than the United States be construed as references to the term or concept which most nearly corresponds to it in that jurisdiction.

time to time by 

  
 50 

 
notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the applicable Borrower by wire transfer to the account such
Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request. No Lender’s obligation to make any Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan. 

Section 2.3.2 Swingline Loans; Participations, etc. 

(a) By telephonic notice to the applicable Swingline Lender on or before 2:00 p.m. on a Business Day (promptly confirmed in writing if so
requested by such Swingline Lender), the Borrowers may from time to time irrevocably request that Swingline Loans be made by such Swingline Lender in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $500,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000. All
Swingline Loans shall be made as (i) Base Rate Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurocurrency Loans or (ii) Daily LIBOR Rate Loans and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurocurrency Loans. The proceeds of each
Swingline Loan shall be made available by such Swingline Lender to the applicable Borrower by wire transfer to the account such Borrower shall have specified in its notice therefor by the close of business on the Business Day telephonic notice is
received by such Swingline Lender. Upon the making of each Swingline Loan, and without further action on the part of such Swingline Lender or any other Person, each Revolving Lender (other than such Swingline Lender) shall be deemed to have
irrevocably purchased, to the extent of its Revolving Loan Percentage, a participation interest in such Swingline Loan, and such Revolving Lender shall, to the extent of its Revolving Loan Percentage, be responsible for reimbursing within one
Business Day such Swingline Lender for Swingline Loans which have not been reimbursed by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(b) If (i) any Swingline Loan shall be outstanding for more than thirty Business Days, (ii) any Swingline Loan is or will be
outstanding on a date when any Borrower requests that a Revolving Loan be made, or (iii) any Default shall occur and be continuing, then each Revolving Lender (other than the applicable Swingline Lender) irrevocably agrees that it will, at the
request of such Swingline Lender, make a Revolving Loan (which shall initially be funded as a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all such Swingline Loans then
outstanding (such outstanding Swingline Loans hereinafter referred to as the “Refunded Swingline Loans”). On or before 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day following receipt by each Revolving Lender of a request to make
Revolving Loans as provided in the preceding sentence, each Revolving Lender shall deposit in an account specified by such Swingline Lender the amount so requested in same day funds and such funds shall be applied by such Swingline Lender to repay
the Refunded Swingline Loans. At the time the Revolving Lenders make the above referenced Revolving Loans, such Swingline Lender shall be deemed to have made, in consideration of the making of the Refunded Swingline Loans, Revolving Loans in an
amount equal to such Swingline Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Swingline Loans. Upon the making (or deemed making, in the case of such Swingline Lender) of any Revolving Loans pursuant to
this clause, the amount so funded shall become an outstanding Revolving Loan and shall no longer be owed as a Swingline Loan. All interest payable with respect to any Revolving Loans made (or deemed made, in the case of such Swingline Lender)
pursuant to this clause shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the period of time during which such Swingline Lender had outstanding Swingline Loans in respect of which such Revolving Loans were made. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to
make the Revolving Loans referred to in this clause shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against such Swingline Lender, any Obligor or any Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Default; (B) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Obligor; (D) the
acceleration or maturity of any Obligations or the termination of any Commitment after the making of any Swingline Loan; (E) any breach of any Loan Document by any Person; or (F) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.3, without the requirement for a specific request from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.3.2(a), the applicable Swingline Lender may make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of any
agreements between one or more of the Borrowers and such Swingline Lender relating to the Borrowers’ deposit, sweep and other accounts with such Swingline Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding the management and investment of
the Borrowers’ cash assets as in effect from time to time (the “Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative balance in the Borrowers’ accounts which are subject to the provisions of the
Cash Management Agreements. Swingline Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2(c) in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the limitations as to aggregate amount set forth in
Section 2.1.1, (ii) be subject to any limitations as to individual amount set forth in the Cash Management Agreement, (iii) be payable by the Borrowers, both as to principal and interest, at the times set forth in the Cash
Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date), (iv) not be made at any time after such Swingline Lender has notice of the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of
Default, (v) if not repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests therein pursuant to
Section 2.3.2(b), and (vi) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3.

a.m. on a Business Day (such notice to be confirmed in writing within 24 hours thereafter by delivery of a Continuation/Conversion Notice), any Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect:

provided that any portion of any Loan which is continued or converted hereunder shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple
amount of $1,000,000; and provided, further, that in the absence of prior notice (which notice may be delivered telephonically followed by written confirmation within 24 hours thereafter by delivery of a Continuation/Conversion Notice)
with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars at least three Business Days (or, with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in an Alternate Currency, at least five Business Days) before the last day of the then current Interest
Period with respect thereto, such Eurocurrency Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan (and any such Eurocurrency Loan denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be redenominated in Dollars); provided, that
(i) each such conversion or continuation shall be prorated among the applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders that have made such Loans, and (ii) no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be continued as, or be
converted into, Eurocurrency Loans when any Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 SECTION 2.5 Alternate Currency Loans. 

(a) If any Borrower requests a Borrowing (not including Euro Term Loans) in an Alternate Currency, or if pursuant to
any Continuation/Conversion Notice a Borrower elects to continue any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Administrative Agent shall in the notice given to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3 or
Section 2.4, as the case may be, give details of 

  
 52 

 
such request or election including, without limitation, as the case may be, the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing in such Alternate Currency to be made by each Lender pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or the aggregate principal amount of such Eurocurrency Loans to be continued by each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

(b) Each Lender shall be treated as having confirmed that the Alternate Currency requested, or elected by the applicable Borrower to be
continued, is Available to it unless no later than 9:00 a.m. on the day three Business Days before the date of the requested Borrowing or the proposed continuation it shall have notified the Administrative Agent that such Alternate Currency is not
Available. 
 (c) In the event that the Administrative Agent has received notification from any of the Lenders that the Alternate Currency
requested or elected by the applicable Borrower to be continued is not Available, then the Administrative Agent shall notify such Borrower and the Lenders no later than 10:00 a.m. on the day three Business Days before the date of the proposed
Borrowing or proposed continuation. 
 (d) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Borrower pursuant to clause (c) above that any
of the Lenders has notified the Administrative Agent that the Alternate Currency requested or elected by such Borrower to be continued or converted is not Available, such notification shall (i) in the case of any Borrowing Request, revoke such
Borrowing Request and (ii) in the case of any Continuation/Conversion Notice, such continuation/conversion with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn and such Alternate Currency Loans shall be redenominated into Base Rate Loans. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any such redenomination and in such notice by the Administrative Agent to each Lender the Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the
redenominated Alternate Currency Loans as of the Revaluation Date with respect thereto and such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage thereof. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the existence of an Event of Default, upon the request of the Required Lenders, all
or any part of any outstanding Alternate Currency Loans shall be redenominated and converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Alternate Currency Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, of any such redenomination and conversion request. 

SECTION 2.6 Funding. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert Loans, as applicable,
hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such Loans, as applicable; provided, that such Loans shall nonetheless be deemed to have been
made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loans, as applicable, shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. In addition, each
Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, for purposes of any determination to be made for purposes of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 it shall be conclusively assumed that each Lender elected to fund all Eurocurrency Loans
or EURIBOR Loan, as applicable, by purchasing deposits in the relevant Currency in its Domestic Office’s interbank Eurodollar market. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Designated Borrower by causing any foreign or
domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Designated Borrower to repay such Alternate Currency Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.7 Letter of Credit Issuance Procedures. By delivering to the Administrative Agent an Issuance Request on or
before 12:00 noon on a Business Day, the Borrowers may from time to 

  
 53 

 
time irrevocably request on not less than three Business Days’ notice, in the case of an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit and not less than three Business Days’ prior notice, in
the case of a request for the extension of the Stated Expiry Date of a Letter of Credit (in each case, unless a shorter notice period is agreed to by the relevant Issuer, in its sole discretion), that an Issuer
(which Issuer may be designated by the Company with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld of delayed) issue, or extend the Stated Expiry Date of, a
Letter of Credit in such form as may be requested by the applicable Borrower and approved by such Issuer, solely for the purposes described in Section 7.1.7. Upon receipt of an Issuance Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Company and the Issuer whether, after giving effect to the issuance of the applicable Letter of Credit, (a) the Dollar Equivalent (determined as of the most recent Revaluation Date) of the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings
would exceed the then existing Letter of Credit Commitment Amount and (b) the sum of the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans then
outstanding would exceed the then existing Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier to occur of (i) five
Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (ii) (unless otherwise agreed to by an Issuer, in its sole discretion), thirteen months from the date of its issuance; provided, that any Letter of Credit may
provide for renewal periods of up to one year so long as such renewal periods do not exceed the date set forth in clause (i). Each Issuer will make available to the beneficiary thereof the original of the Letter of Credit which it issues.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be subject to the customary procedures of the applicable Issuer. 

Section 2.7.1 Other Lenders Participation. Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, and without further action, each Revolving
Lender (other than the Issuer) shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased, to the extent of its Revolving Loan Percentage, a participation interest in such Letter of Credit (including the Contingent Liability and any Reimbursement Obligation with
respect thereto), and such Revolving Lender shall, to the extent of its Revolving Loan Percentage, be responsible for reimbursing the Issuer within one Business Day of receiving notice from the Issuer for Reimbursement Obligations which have not
been reimbursed by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.7.2 and Section 2.7.3 (with the terms of this Section surviving the termination of this Agreement). In addition, such Revolving Lender shall, to the extent of its
Revolving Loan Percentage, be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3.2 with respect to each Letter of Credit (other than the issuance fees payable to the Issuer of such Letter
of Credit pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.3.2(b)) and of interest payable pursuant to Section 3.2 with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation. To the extent that any Revolving Lender has reimbursed any Issuer for
a Disbursement, such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable portion of any amounts subsequently received (from the Borrowers or otherwise) in respect of such Disbursement. 

Section 2.7.2 Disbursements. An Issuer will notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly of the
presentment of any drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, together with notice of the date (the “Disbursement Date”) such payment shall be made (each such payment, a “Disbursement”). Subject to the
terms and provisions of such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuer shall make such payment to the beneficiary (or its designee) of such Letter of Credit. Prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day following the Disbursement Date, the applicable
Borrower will reimburse the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuer, for all amounts which such Issuer has disbursed under such Letter of Credit, such payments to be made in Dollars (and in the amount which is the Dollar
Equivalent of any such payment or disbursement made or denominated in an Alternate Currency) together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum then in effect for Base Rate Loans (with the then Applicable Margin for
Revolving Loans accruing on such amount) pursuant to Section 3.2 for the period from the Disbursement Date through the date of such reimbursement. Without limiting in any way the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary

  
 54 

 
contained herein or in any separate application for any Letter of Credit, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuer upon each
Disbursement of a Letter of Credit, and it shall be deemed to be the Obligor for purposes of each such Letter of Credit issued hereunder (whether the account party on such Letter of Credit is a Borrower or a Subsidiary). 

Section 2.7.3 Reimbursement. The obligation (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) of the Borrowers under
Section 2.7.2 to reimburse an Issuer with respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon), and, upon the failure of the Borrowers to reimburse an Issuer, each Revolving Lender’s obligation under Section 2.7.1
to reimburse an Issuer, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrowers or such Revolving Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had
against such Issuer or any Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (if, in such Issuer’s good faith opinion, such Disbursement is determined to be
appropriate); provided, that after paying in full its Reimbursement Obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, to commence any proceeding against an Issuer for
any wrongful Disbursement made by such Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuer. 

Section 2.7.4 Cash Collateralization. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following
the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the applicable Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the Issuers’ Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.10(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 

(a) The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Issuers and the Revolving Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of
Credit Commitments, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuers as herein
provided (other than Permitted Liens), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent
additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.7.4 or
Section 2.10 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Commitments (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a
Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

(c) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to
be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.7.4 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination
by the Administrative Agent and each Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, that, subject to Section 2.10 the Person 

  
 55 

 
providing Cash Collateral and each Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent
that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrowers, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 

Section 2.7.5 Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrowers, each other Obligor and, to the extent set forth in
Section 2.7.1, each Revolving Lender shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. No Issuer (except to the extent of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct) shall be responsible for: 
 (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit
or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if such
Issuer shall have been notified thereof); 
 (b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; 

(c) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply
fully with any conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Borrowers against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Borrowers and
any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; 
 (d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery
of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; 
 (e) any loss or delay in-the
transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit; 
 (f) errors in
interpretation of technical terms; 
 (g) the misapplication or non-application by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the
proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or 
 (h) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuer,
including any governmental acts and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder. 

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to any Issuer or any Revolving Lender hereunder. In
furtherance and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuer in good faith (and not constituting gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) shall be binding upon each Obligor
and each Lender, and shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to any Obligor or any Lender, as the case may be. 
 Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Issuer (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such Issuer to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any
presentation if the documents presented appear on 

  
 56 

 
their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such
dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest
paid by such Issuer; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered
separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored
under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on such Issuer in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of
guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other
documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit. 
 SECTION 2.8
Register; Notes. The Register shall be maintained on the following terms. 
 (a) The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative
Agent to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which the Administrative Agent will record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of and stated interest on the Loans owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time, annexed to which the relevant Administrative Agent shall retain a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.11. Failure to
make any recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Obligor’s Obligations. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for the purposes of all Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the contrary. Any assignment or transfer of a
Commitment or the Loans made pursuant hereto shall be registered in the Register only upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Lender Assignment Agreement that has been executed by the requisite parties pursuant to Section 10.11.
No assignment or transfer of a Lender’s Commitment or Loans shall be effective unless such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the Register by the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section. 

(b) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, such Borrower will execute and deliver to such
Lender a Note evidencing the Loans made by, and payable to, such Lender and its registered assigns in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the original applicable Commitment Amount. Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of,
the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent with notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be
conclusive and binding on each Obligor absent manifest error; provided, that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of any Obligor. 

SECTION 2.9 Designated Borrowers. 

(a) (i) The Company may at any time, upon not less than thirty Business
Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries organized under the laws

  
 57 

 
of Ireland or the Kingdom of the Netherlands (each an “Applicant Borrower”), as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans denominated in either Dollars or an Alternate Currency
under the Revolving Facility by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each applicable Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H-1 (a
“Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to become a Designated Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
have received (i) such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
AgentLenders (it being agreed that the forms of deliverables made on the Closing Date are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), as may be required by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so require, (ii) within five Business Days’ prior to the Applicant Borrower becoming a Designated Borrower, such Patriot Act
Disclosures as reasonably requested by the Administrative AgentLenders and (iii) if the Applicant Borrower is organized or incorporated in or under the laws of,
or for applicable Tax purposes is resident of or treated as engaged in a trade or business in, any jurisdiction other than a jurisdiction in or under the laws of which at least one of the then-existing Borrowers is organized or incorporated on the
date such Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement is delivered to the Administrative Agent, an amendment of this Agreement (which may include, without limitation, the definition of “Non-Excluded Taxes”, Section 4.6
and any applicable representation and warranty, covenant or condition to Credit Extension) and the other Loan Documents to include such Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder, which amendment must be as mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower, the applicable Applicant Borrower and each Revolving Lender and, if applicable, each Incremental Lender providing any Incremental Commitments to such Designated Borrower as of such date (provided that no such amendment shall materially
adversely affect the rights of any Lender that has not consented to such amendment). Promptly following receipt of all such documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit H-2 (a
“Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company, the Issuer and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders
agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Alternate Currency Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of
this Agreement, subject to the modifications for such Designated Borrower, as set forth in this Section 2.9. 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the Obligations of any Designated Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be several but not joint with the Obligations of the
Company or any other Designated Borrower (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be jointly and severally liable for the Designated Borrower Obligations). The Collateral of the Designated Borrowers shall not secure or be
applied in satisfaction, by way of payment, prepayment or otherwise, of all or any portion of the Obligations of the Company. 

(iii) (b) To the extent permitted by
applicable law and so long as there are no material adverse tax consequences to the Company or its Subsidiaries, each Designated Borrower or the Company, as applicable, will cause each of its Subsidiaries (including any subsequently acquired or
created Subsidiary) (i) organized under the laws of Australia, the Kingdom of the Netherlands or the United Kingdom, to execute a Subsidiary Guaranty (Foreign) guaranteeing the Obligations of such Designated Borrower and each Designated
Borrower will and will cause each of such Subsidiaries to execute any documentation and take all other actions deemed reasonably necessary by the Collateral Agent to secure the Obligations of such Designated Borrower and such Subsidiaries hereunder
or under such Subsidiary Guaranty (Foreign), as applicable and grant 

  
 58 

 
Liens on such Person’s assets, in a manner and to the extent that a U.S. Subsidiary is required to secure the Obligations of the Company and its Obligations hereunder and under the Guaranty
(Domestic) pursuant to the terms hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.2.4Sections 7.1.8, 7.1.9 and 7.1.12) and the Guaranty (Domestic),
provided that, in no event shall any Designated Borrower or any Designated Subsidiary Guarantor be required to grant a Lien in favor of the Lenders on any asset located in any jurisdiction other than Australia, the Kingdom of the Netherlands
or the United Kingdom and (ii) organized under the laws of Germany to execute an unsecured Subsidiary Guaranty (Foreign) guaranteeing the Obligations of such Designated Borrower, in each case, within 60 days of such acquisition or creation (or
such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent). 
 (b)
(c) Each Subsidiary of the Company that becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and
each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt
of the proceeds of any Alternate Currency Loans made by the Lenders, to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken
by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or
other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower. 

(c) (d) The Company may from time to time, upon
not less than thirty Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such;
provided, that there are no outstanding Alternate Currency Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Alternate Currency Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such
termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Issuer and the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status and the status of each Subsidiary of such Designated Borrower. Upon the termination of a Designated
Borrower’s status as such, the Administrative Agent will provide such releases and other documents reasonably requested by the Company or such Designated Borrower and each Subsidiary of such Designated Borrower, as applicable, to evidence the
foregoing. 
 SECTION 2.10 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as
such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (i) Such Defaulting Lender’s
right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders. 

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.9 shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts 

  
 59 

 
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer or any
Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.7.4; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash
Collateralize the Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.7.4; sixth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuers or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided, that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made
or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Outstandings owed to, all
Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Commitment and
Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the Term Facility or Revolving Facility, as applicable, without giving effect to Section 2.10(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or
payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each
Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. 

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3.2
for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.7.4. 

(C) With respect to any commitment fee or Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3.2 not required to
be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Company shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such

  
 60 

 
Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Commitment or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay
to each Issuer and each Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuer’s or such Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting
Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 
 (iv) All or any part of such Defaulting
Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Commitment and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. No reallocation hereunder
shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 (v) If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above
cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and Cash
Collateralize the Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.7.4. 
 (b) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Swingline Lender and Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the
effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding
Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in
accordance with the Commitments under the Term Facility or Revolving Facility, as applicable (without giving effect to Section 2.10(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will
be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

(c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lenders shall not be
required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless
it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 
 SECTION 2.11 Increases in Commitments. 

(a) The Company on behalf of itself or any one of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers,
may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more new term loans denominated in Dollars, an Alternate Currency or any other currency agreed to by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
providing such new term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or an increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments” 

  
 61 

 
and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Commitments”) from existing Lenders (each of which shall be (A) an Eligible Assignee, (B) subject to the
approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (C) entitled to elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitments) and additional banks, financial institutions and other
institutional lenders who will become Lenders in connection therewith, in an aggregate amount for all such Incremental Commitments not in excess of (i) $250,000,000 (or a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $250,000,000) less the
aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (1) of Section 7.2.2(n) at or prior to such time plus (ii) additional amounts so long as, on a pro forma basis on the date of incurrence, after giving
effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental Commitment (assuming the full amount of any such concurrently established Incremental Revolving Commitment is drawn) and after giving effect to any pro forma adjustments for transactions consummated
in connection therewith, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.00 to 1.00; provided that, to the extent any such Incremental Commitments are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, for the purposes
of determining pro forma compliance with the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio the date of determination thereof shall, at the Company’s option, be the LCA Test Date, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition
and other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Reference Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date
in compliance with such Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, such Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to have been complied with. Each such notice shall specify (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Revolving
Commitment being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 (or a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000) and a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or a principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of
$25,000,000) or such lesser amount equal to the remaining amount of Incremental Revolving Commitments) and (ii) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Company proposes that the Incremental Commitments shall be
effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent). 
 (b) Such
Incremental Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments;
provided, that if the proceeds thereof are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, then the condition set forth in this clause (i) shall only be required to be satisfied as of the LCA Test Date; (ii) any such
Incremental Term Loans (A) may rank pari passu or junior in right or payment and/or with respect to security with the Obligations or may be unsecured (subject, if applicable, to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement), (B) if secured, may
not be secured by any assets other than Collateral, (C) if guaranteed, may not be guaranteed by any Person who is not a Guarantor and (D) if secured on a second lien or junior lien basis to the Obligations or unsecured (any such
Incremental Facility, “Incremental Equivalent Debt”), such Loans will be documented in a separate facility and not in this Agreement and will be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement (if secured) and/or Acceptable
Subordination Agreement, as applicable; (iii) any such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans; (iv) the All-in Yield relating to the
Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Company and the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided, that, prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the
ClosingFirst Amendment Effective Date, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are pari passu in right of payment and security with the Term Loans (including for
the avoidance of doubt, both U.S. DollarTranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans and
EuroTranche B-3 Term Loans regardless of the currency of the Incremental Term Loans) entered into on the
ClosingFirst Amendment Effective Date, if the All-In Yield exceeds the spread with respect to any then-existing Term Loans (including for the avoidance of doubt,
both U.S. DollarTranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans and EuroTranche
B-3 Term Loans regardless of the currency of the Incremental Term Loans) by more than 0.50% per annum, the Applicable Margin relating to such existing 

  
 62 

 
Term Loans shall be adjusted so that the All-In Yield relating to such Incremental Term Loans does not exceed the interest rate (including the Applicable Margin) payable pursuant to the terms of
the Credit Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to such Term Loans (other than Incremental Commitments to the extent the terms governing such Incremental Commitments do not so provide) by more than 0.50% per
annum (for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the foregoing calculation shall be made, on any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Term Loans denominated in both Dollars and Euros are established, by comparing
(x) the initial yield on the Incremental Term Loans denominated in Dollars made on such Increased Amount Date to the Applicable Rate then in effect for the outstanding U.S. Dollar Term Loans denominated in Dollars made prior to such
Increased Amount Date and (y) the initial yield on the Incremental Term Loans denominated in Euros made on such Increased Amount Date to the Applicable Rate then in effect for the outstanding Euro Term Loans denominated in Euros made prior to
such Increased Amount Date); (v) the Incremental Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of Term Loans
hereunder, as specified in the applicable incremental amendment or other definitive documentation therefor; (vi) in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, the maturity date thereof shall not be earlier than the applicable Stated Term Maturity
Date and the weighted average life to maturity shall be equal to or greater than the weighted average life to maturity of Term Loans; (vii) the terms and provisions of additional Revolving Loans made under Incremental Revolving Commitments
shall be identical to those of the existing Revolving Loan Commitments; (viii) except as otherwise required in clauses (iv) through (vii) above, the terms of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no more favorable (taken as a whole) to
the lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans than the terms of the initial U.S. DollarTranche B-1 Term Loans or
Euro, Tranche B-2 Term Loans and Tranche B-3 Term Loans, as applicable (except to the extent such terms are applicable after the applicable Stated Term Maturity Date);
(ix) such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Incremental Assumption Agreements executed and delivered by the Company, the Administrative Agent and one or more Incremental Lenders;
(x) the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions, or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction; (xi) the conditions set forth in
Section 5.2.1(a) shall be satisfied; provided, however, that if the proceeds thereof are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, then the condition set forth in this clause (xi) shall be limited to
customary “SunGard” representations and warranties; and (xii) all fees and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Commitments shall have been paid. Any Incremental Term Loans made on
an Increased Amount Date that have terms and provisions that differ from those of the U.S. DollarTranche B-1 Term Loans or
Euro, Tranche B-2 Term Loans, as applicable, and Tranche B-3 Term Loans outstanding on the
date on which such Incremental Term Loans are made shall be designated as a separate tranche (a “Tranche”) of Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement, except as the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement otherwise provides.
For the avoidance of doubt, the rate of interest and the amortization schedule (if applicable) of any Incremental Commitments shall be determined by the Company and the applicable Incremental Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable
Incremental Assumption Agreement. 
 (c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Commitment becomes effective,
(i) each lender with an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”) (other than with respect to Incremental Equivalent Debt) shall become a Lender
hereunder with respect to such Incremental Commitment and (ii) the Incremental Lender shall be deemed to become a party to the CAM Agreement for all purposes thereof and be bound by the
terms of the CAM Agreement as fully as if such Incremental Lender had executed and delivered the CAM Agreement as of the date thereof, whereupon such Incremental Lender will be bound by the terms thereof to the same extent as if it had executed and
delivered the CAM Agreement as of the date thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments, this Agreement shall  

  
 63 

 
be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount or the Term Loan Commitment Amount,
and the Administrative Agent and the Company may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount or the
Term Loan Commitment Amount. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Company, take any and all action (including pursuant to amendments as specified in this Section 2.11) as
may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, upon the effectiveness of each increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (i) all Borrowings and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis and (ii) all Swingline Loans and
Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders. 
 (d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that
the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans that are to be additional U.S. DollarTranche
B-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans or EuroTranche B-3 Term Loans, as applicable, and when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding
U.S. DollarTranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans or EuroTranche B-3 Term
Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by requiring each outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or EURIBOR Rate Borrowing to be converted into a Base Rate Borrowing on the
date of each such Incremental Term Loan, or by allocating a portion of each such Incremental Term Loan to each outstanding applicable Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or EURIBOR Rate Borrowing, as applicable, on a pro rata basis, even though as a result
thereof such Incremental Term Loan may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that would prohibit such an initial
Interest Period). Any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or EURIBOR Rate Borrowing, as applicable to Base Rate Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 4.4. If any Incremental Term Loan is to be
allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or EURIBOR Rate Borrowing then, subject to Section 3.1.1, the interest rate applicable to such Incremental Term Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period
shall equal the Eurocurrency Rate or EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, for a period approximately equal to the remainder of such Interest Period (as determined by the Administrative Agent two Business Days before the date such Incremental Term Loan is
made) plus the Applicable Margin then in effect. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are to be additional U.S. DollarTranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche
B-2 Term Loans or EuroTranche B-3 Term Loans, the applicable scheduled amortization payments under Section 3.1.1 required to be made after the
making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans. 

SECTION 2.12 Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby designates and appoints
the Company as its representative and agent on its behalf for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans, selection of interest rate options, issuing and delivering Borrowing Requests, Interest Election Requests, delivery or
receipt of communications, receipt and payment of Obligations, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, giving and receiving all other notices,
certifications and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower under the Loan Documents, and all other dealings with the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer. The Company hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication delivered
by the Company on behalf of any Borrower. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers may give any notice to or communication with a  

  
 64 

 
Borrower hereunder to the Company on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right, in its
discretion, to deal exclusively with the Company for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of a Borrower by the Company shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by
such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower. 

ARTICLE III 
 REPAYMENTS,
PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES 
 SECTION 3.1 Repayments and Prepayments; Application. The Borrowers agree that the Loans shall
be repaid and prepaid, subject to Sections 2.9(a)(ii) and 10.25.1(b), pursuant to the following terms. 

Section 3.1.1 Repayments and Prepayments. The Borrowers shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of each Loan upon the

 (i) Loans (other than Swingline Loans); provided, that 

(A) any such prepayment shall be made pro rata among Loans of the same type and denominated in the same Currency, if
applicable, having the same Interest Period of all Lenders that have made such Loans, and in the case of Term Loans, applied to the remaining amortization payments in such amounts as the Borrowers shall determine; 

(B) no such prepayment of any Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Loan may be made on any day other than the last day of the Interest
Period for such Loan unless payments required, if any, pursuant to Section 4.4 are made; 
 (C) a written notice
of each such voluntary prepayment with respect to any Loan shall be received by the Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon, in the case of Base Rate Loans, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, and in the case of Eurocurrency
Loans or EURIBOR Loans, at least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment; 
 (D) all such voluntary
partial prepayments shall, in the case of Base Rate Loans, be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000, and in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or EURIBOR Loans, be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000
and an integral multiple of $1,000,000; and 
 (E) all such voluntary prepayments shall be accompanied by all accrued
interest thereon; and 
 (ii) Swingline Loans; provided, that (A) all such voluntary prepayments shall require
prior telephonic notice to the applicable Swingline Lender on or before 1:00 p.m. on the day of such prepayment (such notice to be confirmed in writing within 24 hours thereafter), (B) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in an

pursuant to Section 4.4 are made. 
 (b) On each date when the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Revolving Lenders exceeds the
Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (as it may be reduced from time to time pursuant to this Agreement), the Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans (or both) and, if necessary, Cash Collateralize all Letter of
Credit Outstandings, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, that no such mandatory prepayment will be required if the aggregate Revolving Exposure is in excess of up to 105% of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount solely as a
result of fluctuations in exchange rates. 
 (c) The U.S.
DollarTranche B-1 Term Loans shall be payable in equal consecutive quarterly installments commencing on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December
following the ClosingFirst Amendment Effective Date, commencing with June 30,
20172018, in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the stated principal amount of the U.S.

in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the stated principal amount of the Tranche B-3 Term Loans in effect on the First Amendment Effective Date (as adjusted to reflect any prepayments thereof), with the remaining balance
thereof payable on the Tranche B-3 Term Loan Maturity Date. 
 (f)
(e) Concurrently with the receipt by the Company or any Subsidiary of any Net Debt Proceeds, the Company shall make, or cause to be made, a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net
Debt Proceeds, to be applied as set forth in Section 3.1.2. 
 (g)
(f) With respect to Net Disposition Proceeds and Net Casualty Proceeds, within ten Business Days following receipt by the Company or any Subsidiary of any Net Disposition Proceeds resulting from Dispositions
made pursuant to Section 7.2.8(c) or any Net Casualty Proceeds in excess of a cumulative amount of $1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a calculation of the amount of such proceeds and the
Company shall make, or cause to be made, a mandatory prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 3.1.2 in an amount equal to the Applicable Net Proceeds Percentage of such Net Disposition Proceeds or Net Casualty Proceeds;
provided, that upon written notice by the Company to the Administrative Agent not more than ten Business Days following receipt of any Net Disposition Proceeds resulting from a Disposition or series of related Dispositions or receipt of any
Net Casualty Proceeds (in each case, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such proceeds may be retained by the Company and its Subsidiaries (which retained

  
 66 

 
proceeds (i) shall be excluded from the prepayment requirements of this clause and (ii) may, in the Company’s discretion, be used to repay the outstanding Revolving Loans without a
corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount pending reinvestment in accordance with the terms hereof) if: 

(i) the Company informs the Administrative Agent in such notice of its good faith intention to apply (or cause one or more of
its Subsidiaries to apply) such Net Disposition Proceeds or Net Casualty Proceeds to the acquisition of other assets or properties; and 

(ii) within one year following the receipt of such Net Disposition Proceeds or such Net Casualty Proceeds, such proceeds are
applied or committed to such application. 
 The amount of such retained Net Disposition Proceeds or retained Net Casualty Proceeds unused or uncommitted
after such one year period shall be applied to prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 3.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the application of Net Disposition Proceeds or Net Casualty Proceeds by any Foreign
Subsidiary to repay the Loans as required by this clause would result in a materially increased Tax liability for the Company (as reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with the Administrative Agent), such Foreign Subsidiary shall not
be required to apply such Net Disposition Proceeds or such Net Casualty Proceeds to prepay the Loans. 

(h) (g) With respect to Excess Cash Flow for
any Fiscal Year of the Company (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2017), no later than 90 days after the end of such Fiscal Year (the “Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Date”), the Company shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a calculation of the amount of such Excess Cash Flow and the Company shall make, or cause to be made, a mandatory prepayment of the Loans to be applied as set forth in Section 3.1.2 in an amount equal to (i) the
sum of the Applicable ECF Percentage multiplied by such Excess Cash Flow, if any, for such Fiscal Year, minus (ii) voluntary prepayments of the Loans made with internally generated cash during such Fiscal Year or thereafter prior to the
Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Date (without duplication between Fiscal Years) (excluding repayments of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, except to the extent the Revolving Loan Commitments are permanently reduced in connection with such repayments).

 (i) (h) Immediately upon any acceleration of the
Stated Maturity Date of any Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, the Borrowers shall repay all the Loans, unless, pursuant to Section 8.3, only a portion of all the Loans is so accelerated (in which case
the portion so accelerated shall be so repaid). 
 Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty, except as
may be required by Section 4.4. 
 Section 3.1.2 Application. Amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.1.1
shall be applied as set forth in this Section. 
 (a) Subject to clause (b) set forth below, each prepayment or repayment of the
principal of the Loans made pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (e), (f), (g) and
(gh) shall be applied, to the extent of such prepayment or repayment, subject to the terms of Section 4.4, (i) first, pro rata
to a mandatory prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans (with the amount of such prepayment of the Term Loans being applied in direct order of maturity in accordance with the amount of each remaining Term Loan amortization
payment), (ii) second, once all Term Loans have been repaid in full, to the repayment of any outstanding Revolving Loans (without a corresponding reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount); and third, to reimburse the
Issuers for the amount deemed to have been so paid or disbursed by such Issuers. 

  
 67 

 (b) Subject to Section 3.1.2(a), if the amount of any mandatory prepayment to be
applied to outstanding Revolving Loans is in excess of the total amount of outstanding Revolving Loans at the time of such prepayment, such excess amount may be retained by the Company and the Subsidiaries to be used for general corporate purposes
to the extent not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. The Company shall give prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment made in connection with clause
(ef) of Section 3.1.1 (including the date and an estimate of the aggregate amount of such mandatory prepayment) at least five Business Days
prior thereto; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations to make such mandatory prepayments. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any prepayment or repayment of the principal
of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (e), (f), (g) and
(gh) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company no later than 3:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days after the date of such
Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Such notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to
deliver such notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such
mandatory repayment of Term Loans. 
 Section 3.1.3 Prepayment Premium. If (a) any amendment, supplement, amendment and
restatement or other modification of this Agreement is effected prior to the date that is six months after the ClosingFirst Amendment Effective Date or (b) all
(but not less than all) of the principal outstanding amount of the U.S. DollarTranche B-1 Term Loans, the Tranche B-2 Term Loans or the
EuroTranche B-3 Term Loans are voluntarily prepaid on or prior to the date that is six months after the
ClosingFirst Amendment Effective Date, in either case, in connection with any Repricing Transaction, the Company
or the Tranche B-3 Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay (x) the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the U.S.
Dollarapplicable Term Loan Lenders or the Euro Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, a prepayment premium in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate
principal amount of the U.S. DollarTranche B-1 Term Loans, the Tranche B-2 Term Loans or the
EuroTranche B-3 Term Loans, as applicable, then repaid, refinanced or amended (the “Prepayment Premium”). 

SECTION 3.2 Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance
with the terms set forth below. 
 Section 3.2.1 Rates. Subject to Section 2.3.2, pursuant to an appropriately
delivered Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice, (A) the Euro Term Loans shall accrue interest as a EURIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the Adjusted
EURIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin and (B) the Borrowers may elect that the Loans (other than the Euro Term Loans) comprising a Borrowing accrue interest at a rate per annum:

 (a) on that portion maintained from time to time as a Base Rate Loan, equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in
effect plus the Applicable Margin; provided, that Swingline Loans made as Base Rate Loans shall always accrue interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the then effective Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base
Rate Loans; 
 (b) on that portion maintained from time to time as a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan, equal to the sum of the Daily LIBOR Rate from
time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans; and 
 (c) on that portion maintained as a Eurocurrency Loan,
during each Interest Period 

  
 68 

 
applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate applicable to the Currency in which such Loans are denominated for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

 All Eurocurrency Loans and EURIBOR Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including)
the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Loan. 

Section 3.2.2 Post-Default Rates. After the date any Event of Default has occurred and for so long as such Event of Default is
continuing, each Borrower, as applicable, shall pay (in the applicable Currency) automatically (in the case of an Event of Default under Section 8.1.1 or Section 8.1.9) or otherwise, at the election of the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on all outstanding Obligations (other than any Hedging Obligations or Cash Management Obligations) at a rate per annum equal to (a) in
the case of principal on any Loan, the rate of interest that otherwise would be applicable to such Loan plus 2% per annum; and (b) in the case of overdue interest, fees, and such other monetary Obligations, the Alternate Base Rate
from time to time in effect, plus the Applicable Margin for Loans accruing interest at the Alternate Base Rate, plus a margin of 2% per annum. 

Section 3.2.3 Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable, without duplication: 

(a) on the Stated Maturity Date therefor; 

(b) on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan on the principal amount so paid or
prepaid; 
 (c) with respect to Base Rate Loans, on each Quarterly Payment Date occurring after the Closing Date; 

(d) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans and EURIBOR Loans, on the last day of each applicable Interest Period (and, if such Interest Period
shall exceed three months, on the date occurring on each three-month interval occurring after the first day of such Interest Period); 
 (e)
with respect to any Base Rate Loans converted into Eurocurrency Loans, on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable pursuant to clause (c) on the date of such conversion; 

(f) with respect to any Daily LIBOR Rate Loan, at the end of each month; and 

(g) on that portion of any Loans the Stated Maturity Date of which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or
Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration. 
 (h) Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations (other than
Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations) after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on the Stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand. 

SECTION 3.3 Fees. The Company agrees to pay the fees set forth below. All such fees shall be non-refundable. 

Section 3.3.1 Commitment Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender
(other than Defaulting Lenders), for the period (including any portion thereof when any of its Commitments are suspended by reason of the Borrowers’ inability to 

  
 69 

 
satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, a commitment fee on such Lender’s Revolving
Loan Percentage of the sum of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (net of Letter of Credit Outstandings) in an amount set forth in the definition of Applicable Margin. The making of Swingline Loans shall not
constitute usage of the Revolving Loan Commitment with respect to the calculation of commitment fees to be paid by the Company to the Lenders; provided, that only for purposes of calculating such commitment fee payable to a Revolving Lender
that is also a Swingline Lender, the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts under such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. All commitment fees payable pursuant to this Section shall be calculated

 ARTICLE IV 

CERTAIN EUROCURRENCY AND OTHER PROVISIONS 

SECTION 4.1 Eurocurrency Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such
Lender to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or convert any such Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Loan shall, upon such determination,
forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (a) all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars payable to such Lender shall
automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion, and (b) all Eurocurrency Loans or EURIBOR Loans denominated in any Alternate
Currency shall automatically become due and payable at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by applicable law. 

  
 70 

 SECTION 4.2 Deposits Unavailable. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for
an Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Loan (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate or
EURIBOR Rate for a Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period; or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate or EURIBOR Rate for a Loan in the applicable currency or
for the applicable Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to
the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any
interest election request that requests the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan, or continuation of any Eurocurrency Loan in the applicable currency or for the applicable Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be ineffective, (B) if such
Loan is requested in USD, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and (C) if such Loan is requested in any Alternate Currency, then the Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan, or the EURIBOR Rate for such EURIBOR Loan, as applicable,
shall be at the COF Rate; provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose or use such Lender’s COF Rate; provided, further, that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then
requests by the applicable Borrower for Eurocurrency Loans may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one type of Loans, then the other type of Loans shall be
permitted. 
 SECTION 4.3 Increased Eurocurrency Loan Costs, etc. If any Change in Law shall (a) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected
in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) or any Issuer or (b) impose on any Lender or any Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (except for such changes with respect to increased capital costs and Taxes which are
governed by Section 4.5) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or EURIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and, in the case of either clause (a) or (b), the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuer
or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender,
Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Each affected Secured Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and
the Borrowers in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Secured Party for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable
by the Borrowersapplicable Borrower directly to such Secured Party within five Business Days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. 
 SECTION 4.4 Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any
loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make any Swingline Loan as a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan or to make or continue any portion of the
principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a Eurocurrency Loan) as a result of 

  
 71 

 (a) any (i) conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any
Eurocurrency Loan or EURIBOR Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise), or (ii) repayment or prepayment of any
Daily LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the applicable maturity date thereof, in each case, whether pursuant to Article III or otherwise; 

(b) any Loans not being made as Daily LIBOR Rate, Eurocurrency Loans or EURIBOR Loans in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor; or

 (c) any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, Eurocurrency Loans in accordance with the Continuation/Conversion Notice
therefor; 
 (d) then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrowers, the
Borrowersapplicable Borrower, such Borrower shall, within five Business Days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable
determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the
Borrowersapplicable Borrower. 
 SECTION 4.5
Increased Capital Costs 
 (a) If any Change In Law affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to
be maintained by any Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party, and such Secured Party determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a
consequence of the Commitments or the Credit Extensions made, or the Letters of Credit participated in, by such Secured Party is reduced to a level below that which such Secured Party or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the
occurrence of any such circumstance, then upon notice from time to time by such Secured Party to the Borrowers, the Borrowersapplicable Borrower, such Borrower shall
within five Business Days following receipt of such notice pay directly to such Secured Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Secured Party or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Secured
Party as to any such additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. In determining such amount, such Secured Party may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its
sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable. 
 (b) Further, if any Change in Law subjects any Secured Party or any Person
controlling such Secured Party to any Tax with respect to this Agreement or any obligation or right hereunder, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Secured Party or any person controlling such Secured Party in respect thereof,
(except for (i) Non-Excluded Taxes, (ii) Taxes which would be indemnifiable under Section 4.6 but for clauses (b) though (d) of the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes), the Company
or the Tranche B-3 Borrowers, as applicable, shall pay to such party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such party for such Tax. 

SECTION 4.6 Taxes. The Company and each Tranche B-3 Borrower
covenants and agrees as follows with respect to Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of an Obligor under each Loan Document
shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, unless required by applicable law. In the event that any Taxes are required by applicable law
to be deducted or withheld from any payment required to be made by any Obligor to or on behalf of any Recipient under any Loan Document (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent), then: 

  
 72 

 (i) if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount payable by the
Borrowersapplicable Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Taxes
(including any Taxes on such increased amounts), in an amount equal to the sum the Recipient would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; and 

(ii) the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to withhold the full amount of such Taxes from such payment (as
increased pursuant to clause (a)(i) of this Section) and shall pay such amount to the Governmental Authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) In addition, the Borrowersapplicable Borrower shall pay
all Other Taxes imposed to the relevant Governmental Authority imposing such Other Taxes in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) As
promptly as practicable after the payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes, and in any event within 45 days of any such payment being due, the Obligor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent an official receipt (or a certified copy thereof) evidencing
the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes. The Administrative Agent shall make copies thereof available to any Lender upon request therefor. 

(d) Each U.S. Borrower and U.S. Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient with respect to a U.S. Borrower, and each U.S.
Loan Party and Non-U.S. Loan Party shall severally indemnify each Recipient with respect to any Designated Borrower or Tranche B-3 Borrower, as applicable, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes payable or paid by such Recipient, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Obligors acknowledge that any payment made to the Administrative Agent or any Recipient or to any Governmental Authority
in respect of the indemnification obligations of the Obligors provided in this clause (d) shall constitute a payment in respect of which the provisions of clause (a) and this clause shall apply. 

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or
the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.6(e)(i)
and (iii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of such Lender. 
 (i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Non-U.S. Lender with

  
 73 

 
respect to the Obligations of a U.S. Borrower, on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the
applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only for so long as such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so), shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, either (i) two duly completed copies of either (A) IRS
Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming eligibility of the Non-U.S. Lender for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or (B) IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY (together with any required attachments), or
in any case an applicable successor form; or (ii) (A) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (z) a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
Code (referred to as an “Exemption Certificate”) and (B) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or applicable successor form. 

(ii) Any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subparagraph (iii), “FATCA” shall include
any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or
becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f) All amounts set out or expressed hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to
be payable to any Secured Party by another party to the agreement hereunder or to the other Loan Documents (a “Party”) which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for value added tax (“VAT”)
purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (g) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party to any Party under the
agreement hereunder or under the Other Loan Documents, that Party shall pay to the Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an  

  
 74 

 
amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Secured Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party).

 (g) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party
(the “Supplier”) to any other Secured Party (the “VAT Recipient”) under the agreement hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and any Party other than the VAT Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the
terms of the agreement hereunder and the other Loan Documents to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the VAT Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall
also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The VAT Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the VAT
Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT. 

(h) Where the agreement hereunder and any other Loan Document requires any Party to
reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the
extent that such Secured Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. 

(i) In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any party under a Loan
Document, if reasonably requested by such Secured Party, that party must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Secured
Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply. 
 (j)
Any reference in paragraphs (f) to (i) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a
reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state
of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union. 

(k) (f) Solely for purposes of this
Section 4.6, the term “Lender” includes any Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 SECTION
4.7 Payments, Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, etc. 
 (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments
by the Borrowers pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Secured Parties entitled to receive such payment. All payments shall be made without setoff, deduction or
counterclaim not later than 12:00 noon on the date due in same day or immediately available funds, in the applicable Currency, to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrowers. Funds received
after that time shall, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each
Secured Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Secured Party. All interest (including interest on Eurocurrency Loans) and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of
days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring 

  
 75 

 
during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a Base Rate Loan, 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days);
provided, that to the extent the current market practice is to compute interest and/or fees in respect of any Alternate Currency or any Loan denominated in any Alternate Currency in a manner other than as set forth above, all interest and
fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of such market practice, as certified to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent. Payments due on other than a Business Day shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the
definition of “Interest Period”) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment. 

(b) All amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents (including from the proceeds received by the
Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon, all or any part of the collateral securing the Obligations, which proceeds shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent) or under applicable law shall be
applied upon receipt by the Administrative Agent to the Obligations as follows: 
 (i) first ratably to the payment of
all Obligations owing to the Agents, in their capacity as Agents (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Agents), 

(ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (b)(i), to the ratable payment of
all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses owing
to the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, 
 (iii) third, after
payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii), to the ratable payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, the aggregate Reimbursement Obligations then owing, the Cash
Collateralization for contingent liabilities under Letter of Credit Outstandings, the Cash Management Obligations and the credit exposure owing to Secured Parties under Rate Protection Agreements, 

(iv) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii), to
the ratable payment of all other Obligations owing to the Secured Parties, and 
 (v) fifth, after payment in full in
cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iv), and following the Termination Date, to each applicable Obligor or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 

For purposes of clause (b)(iii), the “credit exposure” at any time of any Secured Party with respect to a Rate Protection Agreement to which
such Secured Party is a party shall be determined at such time in accordance with the customary methods of calculating credit exposure under similar arrangements by the counterparty to such arrangements, taking into account potential interest rate
(or, if applicable, currency) movements and the respective termination provisions and notional principal amount and term of such Rate Protection Agreement. 

SECTION 4.8 Sharing of Payments. Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be
made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, if any Secured Party shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Credit Extension or
Reimbursement Obligation (other than pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments obtained by all Secured Parties, such Secured Party shall purchase from the other
Secured 

  
 76 

 
Parties such participations in Credit Extensions made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Secured Party to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably (to the extent
such other Secured Parties were entitled to receive a portion of such payment or recovery) with each of them; provided, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Secured
Party, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Secured Party which has sold a participation to the purchasing Secured Party shall repay to the purchasing Secured Party the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an
amount equal to such selling Secured Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Secured Party’s required repayment to the purchasing Secured Party to (b) total amount so recovered from
the purchasing Secured Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Secured Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Secured Party purchasing a participation from another Secured
Party pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Secured Party were the direct
creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Secured Party
shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Secured Parties entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 

SECTION 4.9 Setoff. Each Secured Party shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default described in
Section 8.1.1 or clauses (a) through (d) of Section 8.1.9 or, with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, have the right to
appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each Borrower hereby grants to each Secured Party a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits,
accounts or moneys of such Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Secured Party; provided, that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 4.8 and Sections 2.9(a)(ii) and 10.25.1(b). Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such appropriation
and application made by such Secured Party; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Secured Party may have. 
 SECTION 4.10
Mitigation Obligations; Removal of Lenders. 
 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.5(a), or if any
Borrower is required to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.5(b), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts
to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 4.5(a) or 4.5(b), as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (i) fails to consent to an election, consent, amendment, waiver or other
modification to this Agreement or other Loan Document that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such election, consent, amendment, waiver or other modification is otherwise consented to by the
Required Lenders, (ii) makes a demand upon the Company or any Tranche B-3 Borrower for (or if the Company
isor any Tranche B-

  
 77 

 
3 Borrower is otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 4.3, 4.5 or 4.6 (and the payment
of such amounts are, and are likely to continue to be, more onerous in the reasonable judgment of the Company than with respect to the other Lenders), or gives notice pursuant to Section 4.1 requiring a conversion of such Affected
Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans to Base Rate Loans or suspending such Lender’s obligation to make Loans as, or to convert Loans into, Eurocurrency Loans, or (iii) becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Company may, within 30 days of such
consent by the Required Lenders, such receipt by the Company ofor any Tranche B-3 Borrower of such demand or notice or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender, as
the case may be, give notice (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to cause such Affected Lender to sell all or any portion of its Loans, Commitments and/or Notes
to an Eligible Assignee (a “Replacement Lender”) designated in such Replacement Notice; provided, that no Replacement Notice may be given by the Company if (A) such replacement conflicts with any applicable law or
regulation, (B) any Event of Default (other than, in the case of the replacement of a Defaulting Lender, as a result of the failure of the Company to satisfy its cash collateralization obligations pursuant to Section 2.10(b)) shall
have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement or (C) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken any necessary action under Section 4.5 or 4.6 (if applicable) so as to eliminate the continued
need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.5 or 4.6. If the Administrative Agent shall, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion and within 30 days of its receipt of such Replacement Notice, notify the Company and
such Affected Lender in writing that the Replacement Lender is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such consent not being required where the Replacement Lender is already a Lender), then such Affected Lender shall, subject to the
payment of any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.4, assign, in accordance with Section 10.11, the portion of its Commitments, Loans, Notes (if any) and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan
Documents (including Reimbursement Obligations, if applicable) designated in the Replacement Notice to such Replacement Lender; provided, that (A) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty and shall be on
terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Affected Lender and such Replacement Lender, (B) the purchase price paid by such Replacement Lender shall be in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Loans designated in the Replacement
Notice and/or its Revolving Loan Percentage of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, as applicable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect thereof, plus all other amounts (including the amounts demanded and
unreimbursed under Sections 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6), owing to such Affected Lender hereunder and (iiiC) the Company
or any Tranche B-3 Borrower, as applicable, shall pay to the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Affected Lender and
the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment and assumption (including the processing fees described in Section 10.11). Upon the effective date of an assignment described above, the Replacement Lender shall become a
“Lender” for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as
assignor, any assignment agreement necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section.

 ARTICLE IX 

THE AGENTS 
 SECTION 9.1
Actions. (a) Each Lender hereby appoints PNC Bank as its Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under and for purposes of each Loan Document. Each Lender authorizes
each Agent to act on behalf of such Lender under each Loan Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by each applicable Agent (with respect to which such Agent agrees that it will
comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel in order to avoid contravention of applicable law), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of such Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental thereto (including the release of Liens on assets Disposed of in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents). Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall
survive any termination of this Agreement) the Agents, pro rata according to such Lender’s proportionate Total Exposure Amount, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, an Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document, (including attorneys’ fees), and as to which such Agent is not reimbursed by the
Borrowers; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to
have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be required to take any action under any Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of any Loan Document, unless it is indemnified
hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of an Agent shall be or become, in such Agent’s determination, inadequate, such Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against
hereunder until such additional indemnity is given. 

(b) Each of the
Lenders hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as trustee (Treuhänder) and administrator for the purpose of accepting and administering the Security Documents governed by German law (the “German Transaction Security
Documents”) for and on behalf of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Section 9.1. The Collateral Agent shall (i) in case of
non-accessory (nicht akzessorische) security rights created under the German Transaction Security Documents, hold and administer and, as the case may be, enforce such Liens and/or Collateral in its own name, but as trustee
(Treuhänder) for the account of the Secured Parties; and (ii) in case of accessory (akzessorische) security rights created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments under the German
Transaction Security Documents, administer and, as the case may be, enforce any and all Liens and/or Collateral in the name and for and on behalf of the Secured Parties or in its own name in accordance with Section 10.26 (Parallel
Debt) or any parallel debt provision contained in this Agreement but in each case for the account of the Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby authorises the Collateral Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) (i) to
exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Collateral Agent under the German Transaction Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental
thereto, and (ii) to take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in connection with the German Transaction Security Documents. 

(c) By accepting
the benefits of the Collateral, each person to whom an Obligation is owed shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party. 

  
 104 

(d) Each Loan
Party hereby releases the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to the extent possible from any restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing applicable to it under any applicable law, in particular pursuant to
Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). 

(e) The Agent
shall, to the extent possible, have the authority to grant an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) to any sub-agent. 

SECTION 9.2 Funding Reliance, etc. 

(a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender by 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to a Borrowing
that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Revolving Loan Percentage of such Borrowing on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the
Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the
Borrowers severally agree to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Administrative Agent made such amount available to the Borrowers to the date
such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing (in the case of the Borrowers) and (in the case of a Lender), at the Federal Funds Effective Rate (for the first two
Business Days after which such amount has not been repaid), and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing. 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing prior to the time at which any payment hereunder is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Secured Parties its share of the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Secured Parties severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Secured Party, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate (for the first two Business Days after which such amount has not been repaid), and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to the Loans which were repaid. 

SECTION 9.3 Exculpation. No Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Secured Party for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it under any Loan Document, or in connection therewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor responsible for any recitals or warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness,
enforceability, validity or due execution of any Loan Document, nor for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or
sufficiency of any collateral security, nor to make any inquiry respecting the performance by any Obligor of its Obligations. Any such inquiry which may be made by an Agent shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which such Agent believes to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person. 

SECTION 9.4 Successor. Any of the Agents may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the other Agents,
the Borrowers and all Lenders. If an Agent at any time shall 

  
 105 

 
resign, the Required Lenders may, with the consent of the Company, so long as no Event of Default exists (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint another Lender as a
successor Agent which shall thereupon become the applicable Agent hereunder. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving
notice of resignation, then such retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, with the consent of the Company (so long as no Event of Default exists), appoint a successor Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution
organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided, that if such retiring
Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution which is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth in above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent,
such successor Agent shall be entitled to receive from the retiring Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as the an Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under the Loan Documents, and Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit. 

SECTION 9.5 Loans by the Agents. The Agents shall have the same rights and powers with respect to (a) the Credit Extensions made
by it or any of its Affiliates, and (b) the Notes held by it or any of its Affiliates as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not an Agent. PNC Bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrowers as if such Agent were not an Agent hereunder. 

SECTION 9.6 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of each Agent and each other Lender, and based on
such Lender’s review of the financial information of the Borrowers, the Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being reasonably satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitments. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of each Agent and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall
deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under the Loan Documents. 

SECTION 9.7 Copies, etc. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or
permitted to be given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower). The Administrative Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or
instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for distribution to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. 

SECTION 9.8 Reliance by the Agents. The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication
(including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants
and other

experts selected by such Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, the Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all
Secured Parties. For purposes of applying amounts in accordance with this Section, the Agents shall be entitled to rely upon any Secured Party that has entered into a Rate Protection Agreement with any Obligor for a determination (which such Secured
Party agrees to provide or cause to be provided upon request of the Administrative Agent) of the outstanding Obligations owed to such Secured Party under any Rate Protection Agreement. Unless it has actual knowledge evidenced by way of written
notice from any such Secured Party or the Company to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, in acting in such capacity under the Loan Documents, shall be entitled to assume that no Rate Protection Agreements or Obligations in respect thereof are in
existence or outstanding between any Secured Party and any Obligor. 
 SECTION 9.9 Defaults. No Agent shall be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless such Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Company specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agents shall (subject to Section 10.1) take such action with respect to such
Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that unless and until the Agents shall have received such directions, the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Secured Parties except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of
the Required Lenders or all Lenders. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce
rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Obligors or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained
exclusively by, the Agents in accordance with the Loan Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuer; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights
and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit
(solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) each of the Issuer and the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuer or
Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (d) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 4.9 (subject to Section 4.9) or (e) any Lender from filing
proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Obligor under any bankruptcy or other debtor relief law; and provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.3 and (ii) in addition to the matters
set forth in clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 4.9, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders. 
 SECTION 9.10 Posting of Approved Electronic Communications. 

(a) The Borrowers hereby agree that the Administrative Agent may make all information, documents and other materials that the Borrowers and
their respective Subsidiaries are obligated to 

  
 107 

 
furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Section 7.1.1, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other
reports, certificates and other information materials (collectively, “Communications”), available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the
“Platform”). 
 (b) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES DO NOT
WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL
THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY OBLIGOR, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR
EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY OBLIGOR’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS FOUND IN A
FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 

(c) Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to
the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (excluding by electronic communication) from time to time of
such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 

(d) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to
any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 
 SECTION 9.11 Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners and
Syndication Agents. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners and the Syndication Agents, in their respective capacities as such, each in
such capacity, shall have no duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against such Person in such capacity. 
 SECTION 9.12 Withholding. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under
the Code or other applicable law. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will
enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding tax, backup withholding or information reporting requirements. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent

  
 108 

 
without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the IRS or any other Governmental Authority,
or the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly
executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties and interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and
out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and consented to by the Company and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent acting as directed by the Required Lenders); provided, that
any amendment that would disproportionately affect the obligation of the Company (i) to reimburse obligations under the Revolving Facility will not be effective without the approval of the Required Revolving Lenders or (ii) to make any
payments with respect to Loans under the Term Facility will not be effective without the approval of the Required Term Lenders or; provided, further, that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall: 

(a) modify Section 4.7(b) or Section 4.8 (as it relates to sharing of payments) or this Section or change any provision
of this Agreement in any manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or other amounts or the pro rata treatment of the Lenders, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; 

(b) extend or increase the aggregate amount of any Credit Extensions required to be made by a Lender pursuant to its Commitments, postpone or

acceleration made pursuant to Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 of amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other Obligations shall only require the vote of the Required Lenders); 

(c) reduce (by way of forgiveness) the principal amount of or reduce the rate of interest on any Lender’s Loan, reduce any fees described
in Article III payable to any Lender or extend the date on which interest or fees are payable in respect of such Lender’s Loans, in each case without the consent of such Lender (provided, that the vote of Required Lenders shall be

 (d) change the
required application of any repayments or prepayments pursuant to Section 3.1.2 without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(or any of their respective component definitions (as used solely in such Section but not as used in other Sections of this Agreement)), without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, but without the consent of any other Lenders.

 No failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party in exercising any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on any Obligor in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any Secured Party under any Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall
require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, this Agreement may be amended to extend the Stated Maturity Date of (x) the Revolving Loan Commitments of Revolving Lenders that agree to such extension with respect to their Revolving Loan Commitments with the written consent of each
such approving Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers (and no other Lender) and, in connection therewith, to provide for different rates of interest and fees under the Revolving Facility with respect to the portion
of the Revolving Loan Commitments with a Stated Maturity Date so extended; and (y) the Term Facility with respect to Term Loan Lenders that agree to such extension with respect to their Term Loans with the written consent of each such approving
Term Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company (and no other Lender) and, in connection therewith, to provide for different rates of interest and fees under the Term Facility with respect to the portion thereof with a Stated Maturity
Date so extended; provided, that in each such case any such proposed extension of the Stated Maturity Date with respect to a Credit Facility shall have been offered to each Lender with Loans or Commitments under the applicable Credit Facility
proposed to be extended, 

  
 110 

 
and if the consents of such Lenders exceed the portion of Commitments and Loans the applicable Borrowers wishes to extend, such consents shall be accepted on a pro rata basis among the
applicable consenting Lenders. This paragraph shall apply to any Incremental Term Loans in the same manner as it applies to the Term Facility; provided, that any such offer may, at the Company’s option, be made to the Lenders in respect
of any tranche or tranches of Incremental Term Loans and/or the Term Facility without being made to any other tranche of Incremental Term Loans or the Term Facility, as the case may be. If any Lender is a non-consenting Lender, the Company may
replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 4.10. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender
shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the
applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (i) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the
consent of all Lenders or each directly and adversely affected Lender that by its terms materially and adversely affects any Defaulting Lender to a greater extent than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1, if at any time after the Closing Date, the Agent and the
Company shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Agent and the Company shall be permitted to amend such provision and
such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (such
notice to be provided to the Lenders by the Agent). 
 SECTION 10.2 Notices; Time. Except as otherwise provided in clause
(c) of Section 9.10, all notices and other communications provided under each Loan Document shall be in writing or by facsimile and addressed, delivered or transmitted, if to the Loan Parties, the Agents, a Lender or an Issuer,

other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid or if properly addressed and sent by pre-paid courier service, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when
the confirmation of transmission thereof is received by the transmitter. Electronic mail and Internet and intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders, such as financial

 (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of
each Loan Document, including schedules and exhibits, and any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to

(c) the preparation and review of the form of any document or instrument relevant to any Loan Document.

SECTION 10.6 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to

Person, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than Ineligible Assignees) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its
Commitments or the Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and
(iv) such Lender shall maintain a register as described in Section 10.11(e) below. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
the rights and remedies of a Lender under the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, take any action of the type described in clauses (b) and (c) or clause (j) of Section 10.1 with respect to Obligations participated in by that Participant.
Subject to clause (e), the Borrowers agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 7.1.1, 10.3 and 10.4 (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.6(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.6(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were
a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.9 as though it were a Lender, but only if such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.8 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 10.3 or 10.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive (or would be entitled to receive if a change in applicable law or any
interpretation thereof occurs and the Lender had not sold the participation) with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent.
A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.6 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with the requirements set forth in
Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender by providing the forms in Section 4.6(e) to the participating Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an agent of the
Borrowers, maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of and stated interest on each Participant’s participation interest with respect to a Loan (each, a “Participant
Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation 

  
 116 

 
to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loans or
its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by any applicable law, rules or regulations, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to
the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the relevant Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of
this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest to a Participant under this Section shall indemnify and hold harmless the Borrowers and the Agents
from and against any taxes, penalties, interest or other costs or losses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred or payable by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure of the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, which Taxes would not have been incurred or payable
if such Participant had been a Non-U.S. Lender that was entitled to deliver to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and did in fact so deliver to the participating Lender, a duly completed and valid Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or
W-8ECI (or applicable successor form) entitling such Participant to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal taxes. 

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central banks; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of
a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose
funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Company all or any part of any Loan that such Granting
Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loans and (y) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option
or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the
same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the
Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of
the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company or the Administrative Agent and
without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company, and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit
support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any
surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity 

  
 117 

 
enhancement to such SPC. This Section may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC. The Company acknowledges and agrees, subject to the next sentence, that, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, each SPC, for purposes of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.9, 10.3 and 10.4 shall be considered a Lender. The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any
amount under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, and 10.4 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no grant been made by a Granting Lender to an SPC.

the contrary in any Loan Document, a transfer of rights and obligations from Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited to Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Designated Activity Company pursuant to such merger shall be
permitted. 
 SECTION 10.12 Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent, any Issuer
or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Loan Documents, with any Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which such Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other
Person. 
 SECTION 10.13 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN
CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE LENDERS, ANY ISSUER OR THE BORROWERS IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR
THEREWITH MAY BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY

OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWERS HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY
COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE 

  
 118 

 
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. 

SECTION 10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, EACH LENDER, EACH ISSUER AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY

LENDER AND EACH ISSUER ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. 
 SECTION 10.15 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to
Section 326 of the Patriot Act and/or the Administrative Agent (each of the foregoing acting for themselves and not acting on behalf of any of the Lenders) hereby notify the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to
identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 SECTION 10.16 Judgment Currency. The Obligations of each Obligor in
respect of any sum due to any Secured Party under or in respect of any Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum was originally denominated
(the “Original Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Secured Party or any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Secured Party, in accordance with normal
banking procedures, purchases the Original Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Secured Party, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, such Secured Party, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Secured Party, as the case may be,
such Secured Party, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrowers. 
 SECTION 10.17 Confidentiality. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, each Lender agrees that it will follow its customary procedures in an
effort not to disclose without the prior consent of the Company (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel, or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that
any such party should have access to such information; provided, that such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section to the same extent as such Lender; provided further no such Person shall be a Disqualified Lender)
any confidential information which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public
other than by virtue of a breach of this clause by the respective Lender or any other Person to whom such Lender has provided such information as permitted by this Section, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or
testimony submitted to any municipal, state, provincial or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the 

  
 119 

 
Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or
appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent,
(vi) to any pledgee referred to in clause (f) of Section 10.11 or any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or
any interest therein by such Lender; provided, that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section, (vii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements
or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor, in each case other than Disqualified Lenders (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section) and (viii) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection
with ratings issued with respect to such Lender. For purposes of this Section 10.17, all information furnished to the Lenders by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed public information unless prior to or concurrently with
the delivery of such information, the Lenders have been notified otherwise by the Company or such Affiliate. 
 (b) The Borrowers hereby
acknowledge and agree that each Lender may share with any of its Affiliates, and such Affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions
of this Section to the same extent as such Lender. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section, any party to this Agreement (and each
Affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the foregoing or such Affiliate) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated herein and
all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment or tax structure. The foregoing language is not intended to waive any confidentiality obligations otherwise
applicable under this Agreement except with respect to the information and materials specifically referenced in the preceding sentence. This authorization does not extend to disclosure of any other information, including (a) the identity of
participants or potential participants in the transactions contemplated herein, (b) the existence or status of any negotiations, or (c) any financial, business, legal or personal information of or regarding a party or its affiliates, or of
or regarding any participants or potential participants in the transactions contemplated herein (or any of their respective affiliates), in each case to the extent such other information is not related to the tax treatment or tax structure of the
transactions contemplated herein. 
 SECTION 10.18 No Fiduciary Duty. The relationship among the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the
one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuer and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuer and the Lenders have no fiduciary or
other special relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Loan Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other
than that of debtor and creditor. 
 SECTION 10.19 Counsel Representation. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS BEEN
REPRESENTED BY COMPETENT COUNSEL IN THE NEGOTIATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT ANY RULE OR CONSTRUCTION OF LAW ENABLING SUCH BORROWER TO ASSERT THAT ANY AMBIGUITIES OR INCONSISTENCIES IN THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT
SHOULD 

  
 120 

 
DIMINISH ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED BY SUCH BORROWER. 

SECTION 10.20 Waiver of Notice Period. Each Lender that is a party to the Existing Credit Agreement hereby waives the notice
requirement for termination of the commitments as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Existing Credit Agreement and each such Lender and the Company agrees that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement and all
commitments hereunder shall be deemed terminated. 
 SECTION 10.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding
among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA
Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 
 (a) the application of any Write-Down and
Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such
liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in
connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 
 SECTION 10.22 Usury Savings
Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable requirements
of Law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder
shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in
effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the
stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the
amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.
Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such 

  
 121 

 
excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the
Borrower. 
 SECTION 10.23 Illegality. If, in any applicable jurisdiction, but only with respect to such jurisdiction the
Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender (or affiliate or branch thereof, collectively, “Designated Lenders”) determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the
Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender or its applicable Designated Lender to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in any Loan or
(iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension to any Designated Borrower who is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, a State thereof or the District of Columbia
such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Company, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest
with respect to any such Credit Extension shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law, cancelled, in each case solely with respect to such jurisdiction at issue. Upon receipt of such notice, the Loan Parties shall,
(A) repay that Person’s participation in the Loans or other applicable Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan or other Obligation occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Company or, if earlier,
the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by applicable Law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person
to mitigate or avoid such illegality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall relieve or release any Designated Lender from fulfilling its funding or participation obligations with respect to any other jurisdiction not otherwise affected
by such illegality. 
 SECTION 10.24
CAM Agreement. Each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent for itself and on their behalf may enter into the CAM Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.

 SECTION 10.25
Tranche B-3 Borrower Guaranty. 

Section 10.25.1 Joint and Several Liability. (a) Each Tranche B- 3
Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, solely in respect of the Tranche B-3 Obligations, in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Tranche B-3 Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Tranche B-3 Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Tranche B-3
Obligations. Each Tranche B-3 Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Tranche B-3 Borrower, solely with respect to
the payment and performance of all of the Tranche B-3 Obligations (including any Tranche B-3 Obligations arising under this Section 10.25), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Tranche B-3 Obligations shall be the joint and
several obligations of each Tranche B-3 Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that either Tranche B-3 Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Tranche B-3 Obligations as and when due
or to perform any of the Tranche B-3 Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then, in each such event, the other Tranche B-3 Borrower agrees to make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Tranche B-3 Obligation in accordance with
the terms hereof.  
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the Obligations of any Tranche B-3 Borrower under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not be joint with the 

  
 122 

 
Obligations of the Company, any U.S. Borrower or any Designated Borrower. The Collateral of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers shall not secure or
be applied in satisfaction, by way of payment, prepayment or otherwise, of all or any portion of the Obligations of the Company, any U.S. Borrower or any Designated Borrower. 

Section 10.25.2 Nature of
Liability. The liability of each Tranche B-3 Borrower hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Tranche B-3
Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each Tranche B-3 Borrower hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Tranche B-3
Borrowers or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Tranche B-3 Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such
other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Tranche B-3 Borrowers, or (e) any payment made to any Secured Party on the Tranche B-3 Obligations which any such
Secured Party repays to the Tranche B-3 Borrowers pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Tranche B-3 Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of
its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction by the Secured, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Tranche B-3 Obligations or of any security therefor.
 
 Section 10.25.3
Authorization. The Tranche B-3 Borrowers authorize the Secured Parties without notice or demand (except as expressly required
under this Agreement or by any other Loan Document or as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to; provided that in each case, such actions shall
be taken in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents: 
  

	 	(a)	change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Tranche B-3
Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this guaranty shall apply to
the Tranche B-3 Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered; 

  

	 	(b)	take and hold security for the payment of the Tranche B-3 Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any
manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Tranche B-3 Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst; 

  

	 	(c)	exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Tranche B-3 Borrowers or otherwise act or refrain from acting; 

 

	 	(d)	release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Tranche B-3 Borrowers, or other obligors; 

 

	 	(e)	 settle or compromise any of the Tranche B-3
Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part 

  
 123 

	 	
thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers to their creditors other than the Secured
Parties; 

  

	 	(f)	apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers to the Secured Parties regardless of what
liability or liabilities of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers remain unpaid; 

  

	 	(g)	consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any of the instruments or agreements
referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or 

 

	 	(h)	take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers
from their liabilities under this guaranty.  

Section 10.25.4 Waiver.
(a) The Tranche B-3 Borrowers waive any right (except as required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Secured Party to (i) proceed against any other guarantor of
the Tranche B-3 Obligations, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other guarantor of the Tranche B-3 Obligations or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Secured Party’s power whatsoever. The Tranche B-3 Borrowers
waive any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other guarantor or any other party, (other than by payment or performance of the Tranche B-3 Obligations to the extent of such payment or performance), based on or arising out of the
disability of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers, the Company, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Tranche B-3 Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers other than payment of the Tranche B-3 Obligations to the extent of such payment. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Secured Parties may, at their election,
foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such
sale is permitted by applicable law and if notice is required by applicable law, that notice shall be given), or exercise any other right or remedy the Secured Parties may have against the Tranche B-3 Borrowers or any other party, or any security,
without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers hereunder except to the extent the Tranche B-3 Obligations have been paid. The Tranche B-3 Borrowers waive any defense (other than a defense of payment or
performance in full hereunder) arising out of any such election by the Secured Parties.  

(b) The Tranche
B-3 Borrowers waive all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this guaranty, and notices of the
existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Tranche B-3 Obligations. The Tranche B-3 Borrowers assume all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all
other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Tranche B-3 Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Tranche B-3 Borrowers assume and incur hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of the other Secured Parties shall have any duty to advise the Borrowers of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks. 

Section 10.25.5 Maximum Liability. It is the desire and intent of the Tranche
B-3 Borrowers  

  
 124 

 
and the Secured Parties that this guaranty shall be enforced against the Tranche B-3 Borrowers to the fullest extent permissible under the
laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers under this guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any
reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then the amount of the Tranche B-3 Borrowers’ obligations under this guaranty shall be deemed to be reduced
and the Tranche B-3 Borrowers shall pay the maximum amount of the Tranche B-3 Obligations which would be permissible under applicable law.  

SECTION 10.26 Parallel Debt. 

Section 10.26.1 The Tranche B-3 German Borrower hereby undertakes (by way of an
abstract promise of debt (abstraktes Schuldversprechen) pursuant to Section 780 of the German Civil
Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch)) a new, independent payment obligation to the Collateral Agent in an
amount equal to the total amount of the claims of the Secured Parties against the Tranche B-3 German Borrower under the Loan Documents. The amount owed by hereunder shall be reduced to the extent that the claims of the Secured Parties against the
Tranche B-3 German Borrower under the Loan Documents are satisfied and increased to the extent that the claims of the Secured Parties against the Tranche B-3 German Borrower under the Loan Documents are increased. The claims of the Secured Parties
against the Tranche B-3 German Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be reduced (in accordance with Section 3.1 (Repayments and Prepayments;
Application) of the Credit Agreement) to the extent that the claims of the Collateral Agent against the Tranche B-3 German Borrower under this abstract acknowledgement of debt
are satisfied. 
 Section 10.26.2 The Collateral Agent shall have
its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by the Tranche B-3 German Borrower under this Section 10.26 at any point in time.

Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Lenders from time to time party to the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to such term in the Credit Agreement. 

The parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company and certain of its Subsidiaries will obtain from the Lenders (1) a Revolving Facility with
Revolving Loan Commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 on the First Amendment Effective Date; (2) a tranche of term loans denominated in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount of $355,000,000 (the “Tranche B-1

several basis, by the Tranche B-3 Borrowers on the First Amendment Effective Date; 

 WHEREAS, in order to allocate the secured obligations and commitments among the Lenders in the Credit Agreement,
the Lenders have agreed to enter into this Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS. 

1.1 As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

“CAM Exchange”: the exchange of the Lenders’ interests provided for in Section 2 hereto. 

“CAM Exchange Date”: the date on which (i) any event referred to in Section 8.1.9 of the Credit Agreement
shall occur in respect of the Company or any Tranche B-3 Borrower, or (ii) an acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article VIII of the Credit Agreement shall occur. 

“CAM Percentage”: as to each Lender, a fraction, expressed as a decimal, of which (i) the numerator shall be
(without duplication) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the Obligations owed to such Lender and such Lender’s participation in the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date and (ii) the denominator
shall be (without duplication) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the Obligations owed to all the Lenders and the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings immediately prior to such CAM Exchange Date. 

“Dollar Equivalent”: with respect to any amount in respect of any Obligation in any foreign currency, at any date of
determination thereof, an amount in dollars equivalent to such principal amount or such other amount calculated on the basis of the spot rate of exchange acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 2. Collection allocation mechanism. 

2.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, on the CAM Exchange Date, (i) all Commitments shall
automatically and without further act be terminated as provided in Article VIII of the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Lenders shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.3 of the Credit
Agreement) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Loans such that in lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Loan in which it shall participate as of such date, such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Loans (including each
L/C Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 2.3 below), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof; provided that such CAM Exchange will not affect the
aggregate amount of the obligations of the Loan Parties to the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange and agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any
person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Loan. 

 2.2 As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations, and each distribution made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata
in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender upon or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of setoff, in respect of an Obligation, shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith. 
 2.3 In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Letters of Credit shall be
outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit shall remain unpaid, each Lender under the applicable Loan in respect of unpaid drawings on such Letter of Credit shall, before giving effect to the CAM
Exchange, promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds and in the currency that such Letter of Credit is denominated, an amount equal to such Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings (as notified to such Lender by
the Administrative Agent), of such Letter of Credit’s undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such Letter of Credit’s unpaid drawings together with interest thereon from the CAM Exchange Date to the date on which
such amount shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at the rate that would be applicable at the time to a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan accruing interest at the Alternate Base Rate in a principal amount equal to such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account or accounts for each Lender (each, an “L/C Reserve Account”) for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The
Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s L/C Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Lenders as provided above. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each L/C
Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each L/C Reserve Account shall be held in such L/C Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided in Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to
determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the L/C Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in
each Lender’s L/C Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the Letter of Credit Outstandings, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Loan Party and shall not
give rise to any obligation on the part of any Borrower to pay interest to such Lender, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in
Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement. 
 2.4 In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Issuer in respect of such Letter of Credit, withdraw from the L/C Reserve Account of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such
drawing, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to such Issuer in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under Sections 2.1.2, 2.7 and 10.1 of the Credit Agreement (but
not of any Borrower under Sections 2.1.2, 2.7 and 10.1 of the Credit Agreement). In the event any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit as provided in this
Section 

 
2, the Issuer in respect thereof shall, in the event of a drawing thereunder, have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Sections
2.1.2, 2.7 and 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 2.1 above. Each
other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount. 

2.5 In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the
L/C Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender. 

2.6 With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent as applicable, and the Issuer in respect of such Letter of Credit, any Lender
may withdraw the amount held in its L/C Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such
Letter of Credit, to pay over to the Administrative Agent as applicable, for the account of such Issuer on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing. 

2.7 Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its L/C Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the
Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Cash Equivalents. Each Lender that has not withdrawn the
amounts in its L/C Reserve Account as provided in Section 2.6 above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in
its L/C Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account. 
 SECTION 3. miscellaneous. 

3.1 Joinder. As a condition to any sale, assignment or transfer pursuant to Section 10.11 of the Credit Agreement, each selling,
assigning or transferring Lender, as the case may be, shall cause each buyer, assignee or transferee of its Loans, as the case may be (to the extent not already a party hereto), to become a party to this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement,
by causing such buyer, assignee or transferee to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement containing the agreement of such buyer, assignee or transferee to become party to this Agreement for all purposes, and to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement as fully as if such buyer, assignee or transferee had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof, whereupon such buyer, assignee or transferee will be bound by the terms hereof to the same
extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. 
 3.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed

 
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means including “pdf” and “tif” shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement. 
 3.3 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 3.4 Integration.
This Agreement represents the entire agreement of each of the Credit Agreement Parties party hereto, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan Parties relative to the subject matter hereof not
expressly set forth or referred to herein. 
 3.5 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 3.6
Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (i)
submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from
any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court; 

(ii) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; 
 (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in clause (i) of this
Section 3.6. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the 

 
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court; 

(iv) consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; 

(v) agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law; and 
 (vi) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 3.6 any consequential or punitive damages. 
 3.7 Waiver Of
Jury Trial. EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 3.7.
