LEASE

 

LEASE dated as of March 23, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by and between PDM 900 Unit, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (hereinafter called “Landlord”), and Alkermes, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (hereinafter called “Tenant”).

 

Article 1.

 

Premises ‑ Term of Lease

Section 1.01.      Premises.  Upon and subject to the conditions and limitations hereinafter set forth, Landlord does hereby lease and demise unto Tenant the entirety of a building to be constructed on property intended to be known as 900 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts, as such demised premises is more particularly described on Exhibit 1.01-1 (the “Premises”), together with the right to use in common with others unless otherwise provided herein, the walkways, driveways, parking areas (including the above-ground parking garage serving the Building and described in Section 20.10, below), loading areas, and utility lines (including telecommunications lines) serving the Premises.  The parties agree that the rentable area for the Premises is 220,000 rentable square feet. The four-level building comprising the Premises is referred to herein as the “Building”.  The actual street address of the Building will be determined by the City of Waltham. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to encourage the City to use 900 Winter Street as the street address and, following the designation of the street address, the parties will document the same in a letter agreement prepared by Landlord.

Upon completion, the Building will become a condominium unit within the Reservoir Woods Primary Condominium (the “Condominium”), a condominium created by Master Deed dated February 26, 2007, recorded in Book 49037, Page 229 of the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds, as amended.  The Building and its undivided interest in the common elements of the Condominium are referred to herein as the “Property” and are more particularly described on Exhibit 1.01-2. Upon the recording of the unit deed evidencing the creation of the condominium unit consisting of the Building, Exhibit 1.01-2 shall be amended accordingly and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease evidencing the same. This Lease, and Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises, are subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of agreements, easements and restrictions of record applicable to the Property, all of which Tenant shall perform and observe insofar as the same are applicable to the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be bound by any easements or restrictions made after the date of this Lease that materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights and obligations under this Lease unless (a) Landlord has obtained Tenant’s prior written consent to such easements or restrictions, or (b) such easements or restrictions are imposed in connection with a lease by Tenant of the Proposed Additional Building in accordance with Article 25, below.  Landlord hereby represents and warrants that none of the existing agreements, easements and restrictions of record prohibit or restrict use of the Premises for the Permitted Uses.

The Premises exclude the Base Building (as defined in Section 6.01) and the above-ground parking garage serving the Building.

 

 

 


 

 

Section 1.02.      Special Rights.

(a)     Tenant shall, subject to reasonable closures for repairs and the like, casualty, and condemnation, have the exclusive right to use the fitness center and cafeteria (with associated outdoor seating area) to be constructed as part of the Landlord Work, which areas are part of the Premises. Landlord shall arrange for a third party vendor to provide cafeteria service in the cafeteria so long as Tenant desires such cafeteria service be provided, which service shall, subject to the matters set forth above and Tenant’s rights below, be available throughout the term of this Lease unless otherwise elected by Tenant in writing and shall be included in Operating Expenses.  Tenant acknowledges that the fitness center shall not be staffed. The fitness center and the cafeteria are collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Amenities”.

If the service provided by any third-party vendor retained by Landlord to operate the cafeteria from time to time is inconsistent with first-class standards for a suburban office, laboratory and research and development park in more than a de minimus manner, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice of such event with sufficient detail for Landlord to investigate the complaint.  At the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall exercise its right to terminate the contract of such vendor, in which event Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to replace the applicable vendor with a substitute vendor experienced in operating similar facilities in first class suburban office, laboratory and research and development buildings, subject to Tenant’s rights under the immediately preceding paragraph.  Landlord shall consult with Tenant in the process of making menu selections for the cafeteria.

(b)     Tenant shall have the exclusive (so long at the Premises consists of all rentable area in the Building) right to use and control the operation of any Building communication system serving the Premises, provided that during any such period of exclusive use and operation Landlord has access to and use of such Building communication system as reasonably required to accommodate Landlord’s obligations, as well as to exercise its reserved rights, under this Lease.

(c)     Tenant shall, subject to reasonable closures for maintenance and repairs (for which Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice where feasible), casualty, and condemnation, have the exclusive right to use and control the operation of the elevators in the Building for access and egress to the Premises; provided that such use and operation permits Landlord to have access to and use of the elevators as reasonably required to accommodate Landlord’s obligations, as well as to exercise its reserved rights, under this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for casualty or condemnation and subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, Landlord covenants to Tenant that at least one of the elevators shall be available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year during the Term.

(d)     Tenant shall, subject to reasonable closures for maintenance and repairs (for which Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice where feasible), casualty, and condemnation, have the exclusive right to use and control the operation of the loading areas serving the Building, provided that such use and operation permits Landlord to have access to and use of the loading areas as reasonably required to accommodate Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations, as well as to exercise its reserved rights, under this Lease.

(e)     Tenant shall, subject to the terms of applicable legal requirements and the terms, covenants and conditions of agreements, easements and restrictions of record applicable to the Property, have the exclusive (so long as the Premises consists of the entire rentable area of the

2


 

 

Building) right to install and maintain a reasonable number of emergency generators, an above-ground nitrogen tank, and an above-ground CO2 tank serving the Premises in locations within the areas outside of the Building shown on Exhibit 1.02 (“Exterior Installation Areas”) (it being agreed that Landlord shall be responsible, as part of Landlord Work, to prep the Exterior Installation Areas for Tenant, including providing secondary containment measures, to the extent described in the plans and specifications listed on Attachment 1 to Exhibit 7.02) and otherwise only in areas that are reasonably approved by Landlord in advance. Any such installations (“Exterior Equipment”) shall be designed, installed, and maintained in a first class manner consistent with similar equipment at first-class mixed use park in the Route 128 corridor within the City of Waltham and shall be kept leak-free. Exterior Installation Areas shall be considered part of the Premises for all purposes under this Lease except for the determination of rentable square feet and that the use of the same shall be limited to the purposes set forth in this Section 1.02. Tenant shall maintain and operate all Exterior Equipment at its sole cost and expense and remove the same at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (and restore any damage caused by such removal) unless otherwise agreed to with Landlord. Tenant shall install Exterior Equipment at its sole cost and expense, at such times and in such manner as Landlord may reasonably designate and in accordance with all of the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation Article 8.  Tenant shall not install or operate Exterior Equipment until it receives prior written approval of the plans for such work in accordance with Article 8.

Prior to commencing installation of any Exterior Equipment, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all required permits, licenses and authorizations for such Exterior Equipment (which Tenant will obtain at its own expense and which Tenant will maintain at all times during the Term). During the Term of the Lease, the Exterior Equipment shall be treated as Tenant's personal property for all purposes. Tenant agrees that the installation, operation and removal of the Exterior Equipment shall be at its sole risk. Tenant shall provide Landlord with tank-tightness reports and all annual or other permits required for the Exterior Equipment upon Landlord’s request. Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 12.01) against any liability, claim or cost, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the loss of life, personal injury, damage to property or business or any other loss or injury arising out of the installation, use, operation, or removal of the Exterior Equipment by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, or invitees, including any liability arising out of Tenant's violation of this subsection, but in no event to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents, or contractors. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 1.03.      Term Commencement.

(a)     The term of this Lease shall commence on the earlier of (i) the Delivery Date (as defined below), or (ii) the date Tenant enters into possession of all or any substantial portion of the Premises for the conduct of its business (for the purposes of this Section 1.03, “conduct of its business” shall not include installation of furniture, fixtures, equipment, or the like). The date of commencement as so determined is hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date.”  The term shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on the date (the “Expiration Date”) that is the last day of the calendar month in which the 15th anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (as defined in Section 2.01) occurs, unless extended or sooner terminated as hereinafter provided and shall include the period between the Commencement Date and the Rent Commencement Date.

The “Delivery Date” shall mean the later of (i) January 20, 2020, or (ii) the date on which Landlord Substantially Completes the Landlord Work (each as defined in Exhibit 7.02, and subject to Section 2.11 of Exhibit 7.02) and delivers exclusive possession of the Premises to Tenant in the condition otherwise required herein.

(b)     Tenant and Landlord agree to execute an agreement in recordable form identifying the actual Commencement Dates, the Rent Commencement Dates, and the Expiration Date, but a failure to execute such an agreement shall not affect the commencement or expiration of the term of this Lease.

“Lease Year 1” means the period commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and ending on the day that is ten and one-half (10.5) months thereafter, and each successive “Lease Year” thereafter shall mean the 12-month period immediately following the previous Lease Year until the Expiration Date, except that “Lease Year 16” shall be one and one-half (1.5) months in duration.

Base Rent shall be pro-rated for any partial month during the Term (based on the number of days in such month).  If the Rent Commencement Date is other than the first day of the month, then, with respect to the partial month following the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on or before the Rent Commencement Date a pro-rated share of the Base Rent that would have otherwise been payable for such month (based on the number of days in such month).

If and to the extent Tenant elects to utilize any Supplemental Allowance in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Work Letter, then Tenant shall pay equal monthly installments of Supplemental Rent together with, and in the manner of, its monthly payments of Base Rent, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Work Letter if Tenant does not requisition the entire Supplemental Allowance.

Section 2.02.      Additional Rent for Operating Expenses and Taxes.

(a)    Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of all Operating Expenses (as defined below). Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of all Taxes (as defined below). Following such time, if any, that Tenant ceases to lease all of the rentable area within the Building, then, if within any calendar year, less than 95% of the rentable space of the Building or Property is leased and occupied under agreements for which the lease term has commenced, Operating Expenses that vary with such occupancy for

5


 

 

that calendar year during the term of this Lease shall be computed and adjusted upward so that Operating Expenses shall at all times equal the greater of (i) actual Operating Expenses or (ii) an amount extrapolated as if the Building or Property, as applicable, were ninety-five (95%) leased.

Additional Rent computed under this Section 2.02 shall be prorated should this Lease commence or terminate before:  (i) the end of any fiscal tax year for that portion related to Taxes; or (ii) the end of any calendar year for that portion related to Operating Expenses.  Tenant shall make monthly payments of Additional Rent, in advance, on the Commencement Date or Rent Commencement Date, as applicable, and the first of each month thereafter equal to one‑twelfth (1/12) of the annual amount of such Additional Rent reasonably projected by Landlord to be due from Tenant (pro-rated for any partial month at the beginning or end of the term) from time to time.  Tenant’s monthly payments may be reasonably revised by Landlord from time to time so that Tenant’s aggregate monthly payments shall equal the Additional Rent then projected to be due for the year in question.  A final accounting and payment for each real estate tax and operating period shall be made within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of the exact amount of such Additional Rent for the fiscal tax year or calendar year in question (each, a “Reconciliation Notice “), which notice Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal tax year or calendar year, as applicable, and, in any event, Landlord shall deliver within 270 days after the end of each fiscal tax year or calendar year, as applicable.  Landlord’s statements of Additional Rent for Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant unless disputed within six months after the respective year-end statements are issued.  In the event that the Additional Rent due with respect such period is finally determined to be less than the Additional Rent paid by Tenant on account of Landlord’s projection of Additional Rent, Landlord shall credit the difference against the next installment of Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes coming due under this Lease or, if no such installment is coming due, then Landlord shall promptly refund such difference.  In the event Taxes for the Premises, based upon which Tenant shall have paid Additional Rent, are subsequently reduced or abated, Tenant shall be entitled to receive its allocable share of the amount abated, provided that the amount of the rebate allocable to Tenant shall in no event exceed the amount of Additional Rent paid by Tenant for such fiscal year on account of Taxes under this Section 2.02, and further provided the rebate allocable to Tenant shall be reduced by its allocable share of the reasonable cost of obtaining such reduction or abatement not otherwise paid by Tenant.  The obligations of this paragraph shall survive the expiration of the Lease.

Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” shall mean 100% so long as the Premises consists of all of the rentable area of the Building.

(b)     Operating Expenses” for the purpose of this Section shall mean:

If during the term of this Lease the present system of ad valorem taxation of property shall be changed so that, in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of such ad valorem tax there shall be assessed, levied or imposed on such property or on Landlord any kind or nature of federal, state, county, municipal or other governmental capital levy, income, sales, franchise, excise or similar tax, assessment, levy, charge or fee (as distinct from the federal and state income tax in effect on the date of this Lease) measured by or based in whole or in part upon building valuation, mortgage valuation, rents, services or any other incidents, benefits or measures of real property or real property operations, then any and all of such taxes, assessments, levies, charges and fees shall be included within the term of Taxes, but only to the extent that the same would be payable if the Property were the only property of Landlord.  Taxes shall also include expenses, including reasonable fees of attorneys, appraisers and other consultants, incurred in connection with any efforts to obtain abatements or reduction or to assure maintenance of Taxes for any year wholly or partially included in the term of this Lease, whether or not successful and whether or not such efforts involved filing of actual abatement applications or initiation of formal proceedings.

(e)     Tenant shall have the right for a period of ninety (90) days (the “Audit Period”) following its receipt of Landlord’s statement of Additional Rent due on account of Operating Expenses to examine and copy Landlord’s books and records concerning Operating Expenses for the calendar year covered by such statement in the offices of the property manager or another location reasonably designated by Landlord in the greater Boston area, so long as Tenant pays any amount billed by Landlord on account of Additional Rent without protest (but subject to Tenant’s right to recover any overpayments pursuant to this paragraph).  Tenant’s audit may be conducted by its employees or its designated accountants, provided that the accountants must be employed on a regular fee for services basis and not on a contingency fee basis.  If, by notice to Landlord given after such examination but during the Audit Period (which notice shall be accompanied by documentation evidencing the results of Tenant’s audit to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction), Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent for Operating Expenses shown on the statement, then Tenant may request that the amount of Additional Rent for Operating Expenses for the year in question be determined by an audit conducted by a certified public accountant reasonably selected by both parties, provided that if the parties are unable so to agree on an accountant within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, then within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s notice is given Tenant may submit the dispute for determination by an arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator in the Boston Office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules.  The arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA and shall be a certified public accountant with at least ten (10) years of experience in auditing mixed use office, laboratory and research and development buildings in the suburban Boston area.  The cost of the accountant selected by both parties, and the arbitrator, if applicable, shall be shared equally by the parties.  Tenant and each person reviewing Landlord’s books and records or participating in the arbitration shall agree in an instrument prepared by Landlord that all information obtained from Landlord’s books and records shall be kept confidential and used only for the purpose of determining amounts properly due under this Lease.  If the Additional Rent due is finally determined to be less than the Additional Rent paid by Tenant on account of Landlord’s calculation of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall either promptly refund to Tenant the difference or credit same against Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes next due from Tenant. If the Additional Rent due was less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Additional Rent paid by Tenant on account of Landlord’s calculation of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable third-party costs of

11


 

 

reviewing Landlord’s books and records, but in any event not to exceed $4,000 (such amount to be increased, but never decreased, annually in proportion to any increase in the CPI).

(f)  Operating Expenses which are incurred jointly for the benefit of the Building and another building or premises shall be allocated between the Building and the other building or premises in accordance with the ratio of their respective rentable areas calculated using a consistent methodology, unless Landlord reasonably determines that the other building or premises is used for a purpose materially different than the Building or that the Operating Expense in question results from a service provided or used in a materially disproportionate manner, in which case the affected cost items shall be allocated on a reasonable basis by Landlord.  If Tenant ever leases less than all of the rentable area of the Building, Landlord may elect to allocate Operating Expenses separately among tenants with different use categories in the Building from time to time based on such factors as the Landlord reasonably determines (rather than on a proportionate basis based on square feet) if Landlord reasonably determines it is necessary to fairly allocate the Operating Expenses. If the Building and the land appurtenant thereto are not assessed as a separate tax parcel, then real estate taxes shall be allocated between the Building and the balance of the tax parcel based on the factors taken into account by the municipal tax assessor or such other reasonable method as Landlord may elect, which may be based on the relative square footages of the buildings and their use or may be in accordance with the ratio of their respective fair market valuesIn the event of a dispute concerning the allocation of Operating Expenses or Taxes, then the matter shall be submitted by Landlord and Tenant for resolution by arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.02(e).

Section 2.03.      Payment of Rent.  The term “Additional Rent” shall mean all amounts due under Section 2.02 for Operating Expenses and Taxes, any Supplemental Rent, and all other amounts (except Base Rent) to be paid by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease, including without limitation payments to Landlord for reimbursement of any costs expended upon an Event of Default by Tenant.  The term “Rent” shall mean Base Rent and Additional Rent.  All payments of Rent shall be made to the Landlord at c/o  Davis Marcus Management, 125 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, Attn: Larry Lenrow, or as may be otherwise directed by the Landlord in writing, which may include a direction to pay by wire transfer to an account specified by Landlord.

All payments of Rent shall be made without set-off, deduction or offset except as expressly provided in this Lease. Tenant’s covenants and obligations to pay Rent and perform its other obligations under this Lease are separate and independent from any of Landlord’s covenants and obligations in this Lease and, except for Tenant’s express offset, abatement, self-help, termination and other express remedies of Tenant set forth in this Lease, in the event that at any time during the Term, Tenant shall have a claim against Landlord, Tenant shall have no right to hold back, offset or fail to pay any such Rent or other amounts due hereunder nor terminate this Lease for any alleged default by Landlord, it being understood that Tenant’s sole remedy for recovering upon such claim shall be to institute an independent action against Landlord for damages or to pursue other remedies in the nature of injunctive or declaratory relief available to Tenant in equity for such breach by Landlord and to exercise Tenant’s express rights and remedies in this Lease.  Tenant acknowledges that it is represented by experienced leasing counsel and that the so-called “dependent covenants” rule as developed under the common law (including, without limitation, the statement of such rule as set forth in the Restatement (Second) of Property, Section 7.1) shall

12


 

 

not apply to this Lease or to the relationship of Landlord and Tenant created hereunder.

Section 2.04.      Rent from Real Property.  It is intended that all Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord, which includes all sums, charges, or amounts of whatever nature to be paid by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, shall qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of both Sections 512(b)(3) and 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”).  If Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines that there is any risk that all or part of any Rent shall not qualify as “rents from real property” for the purposes of Sections 512(b)(3) or 856(d) of the Code and the Regulations, Tenant agrees (i) to cooperate with Landlord by entering into such amendment or amendments to this Lease as Landlord reasonably deems necessary to qualify all Rent as “rents from real property,” and (ii) to permit an assignment of this Lease; provided, however, that any adjustments required under this section shall be made so as to produce the equivalent (in economic terms) Rent as payable before the adjustment.

Section 2.05.      Security Deposit.  If, following the date of this Lease, Guarantor (as defined in Section 24.01) fails to meet the Financial Test (as defined below), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord as security for the performance of the obligations of Tenant hereunder a letter of credit in the initial amount equal to $4,491,666.69 plus seven months’ of Supplemental Rent, if any (the “Letter of Credit Amount”) in accordance with this Section 2.05 (as renewed, replaced, increased and/or reduced pursuant to this Section 2.05, the “Letter of Credit”).  Tenant’s failure to timely deliver the Letter of Credit to Landlord when due within 15 days following written notice from Landlord shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, without any notice or cure period under Article 14.  The Letter of Credit (i) shall be irrevocable and shall be issued by a commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord that has an office for presentment in the City of Waltham or City of Boston, in the form attached as Exhibit 2.05 or such other substantially similar form as is reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) shall require only the presentation to the issuer of a certificate of the holder of the Letter of Credit stating that Landlord is entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (iii) shall be payable to Landlord or its successors in interest as the Landlord and shall be freely transferable without cost to Landlord, any such successor or any lender holding a collateral assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease, (iv) shall be for an initial term of not less than one year and contain a provision that such term shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless the issuer shall, at least 45 days prior to the scheduled expiration date, give Landlord notice of such non-renewal, and (v) shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  Landlord acknowledges that, as of the date of this Lease, Bank of America is an approved issuer of the Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of the Letter of Credit for the final period shall be for a term ending not earlier than the date sixty (60) days after the last day of the Term.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may be required to pledge the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any lender holding a collateral assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease and agrees to provide Landlord with such documentation as Landlord may reasonably request, and to cooperate with Landlord as is necessary, to evidence the consent to such pledge by the issuer of the Letter of Credit.

The “Financial Test” shall mean that Guarantor and Tenant, collectively, have unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and short term investments, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, equal to at least $75,000,000

13


 

 

in United States dollars.  If, at any time after the Letter of Credit is required because Guarantor and Tenant, collectively, do not meet the Financial Test, Guarantor and Tenant, collectively, subsequently meets the Financial Test for three complete calendar quarters in a row and reasonably evidences the same to Landlord, then, provided that Tenant is not then in default beyond applicable notice or cure periods and no Bankruptcy Event (as defined below) is then in effect, Tenant shall be entitled to a return of the Letter of Credit until the date that is 30 days following the date, if any, that Guarantor and Tenant, collectively, subsequently fails to meet the Financial Test.  A “Bankruptcy Event” shall mean that Tenant or Guarantor files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, or shall seek, or consent, or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable, of all or any substantial part of their respective properties, or of the Premises, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any court enters an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against Tenant or Guarantor seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors.

Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit in part or for its full amount, as Landlord may elect (i) if an Event of Default is then continuing (or if Tenant has failed to timely pay rent or perform any of its other obligations under the Lease and transmittal of a default notice or running of any cure period is barred or tolled by applicable law), (ii) if, not less than 30 days before the scheduled expiration of the Letter of Credit, Tenant has not delivered to Landlord a new Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.05 (which failure shall be deemed a default without notice or cure period) or (iii) if the credit rating of the long-term debt of the issuer of the Letter of Credit (according to Moody's or similar national rating agency) is downgraded to a grade below investment rate), or if the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall enter into any supervisory agreement with any governmental authority, or if the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall fail to meet any capital requirements imposed by applicable law.  Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, apply the amount so drawn to the extent necessary to cure an Event of Default under the Lease and/or make any payments due to Landlord hereunder on account of such Event of Default including without limitation any unpaid Rent, any damages arising from a termination of this Lease in accordance with its terms, and for any damages arising from any rejection of this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding commenced by or against Tenant.  Any amount drawn in excess of the amount applied by Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be held by Landlord as a security deposit for the performance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder.  Said security deposit may be mingled with other funds of Landlord, and no fiduciary relationship shall be created with respect to such deposit, nor shall Landlord be liable to pay Tenant interest thereon.  If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obliged to, apply the security deposit to the extent necessary to cure the Event of Default and/or make any payments due to Landlord hereunder on account of such Event of Default.  After any such application by Landlord of the Letter of Credit or security deposit, Tenant shall reinstate the Letter of Credit to the amount then required to be maintained hereunder, upon demand (and, upon such reinstatement, Landlord shall return any cash security deposit then being held by Landlord to Tenant). Within forty-five (45) days after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term the Letter of Credit and any security deposit, to the extent not applied, shall be returned to the Tenant,

14


 

 

without interest. For purposes of this Section 2.05, an Event of Default shall also include any default that is prevented or delayed from ripening into an Event of Default due to Landlord’s inability to give any required notice or the tolling of any grace or cure period caused by any stay or injunction arising from the bankruptcy of Tenant.

In the event of a sale of the Property or lease, conveyance or transfer of the Property, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security to the transferee (“New Landlord”) and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security; and Tenant agrees to look to the New Landlord solely for the return of said security.  The provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security to a New Landlord.  Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Letter of Credit or the monies deposited herein as security, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

Article 3.

 

Utility Services

Section 3.01.      Utilities.  From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, as Additional Rent, all charges for electricity and other utilities consumed in the Premises (or by any special facilities serving the Premises), whether as part of Operating Expenses or as provided in this Section 3.01. Tenant will comply with all contracts relating to any such services. Tenant’s charges for such utility usage shall be based upon Tenant’s actual usage as determined by the utility providers, where such utilities are separately metered directly to Tenant, or by Landlord’s reading of check meters serving the Premises, without mark-up, in either case as provided as part of the Finish Work. So long as the Premises consists of all rentable areas of the Building, (A) it is the intent of the parties to provide for separate, direct metering of all utilities exclusively serving the Premises to the extent feasible and (B) Tenant shall have the right, at its prior written request to Landlord, to have the electricity, water, sewer, and gas service to the Premises placed in the name of Tenant to the extent possible so long as no additional alterations or construction is required to do the same and Tenant pays any costs associated with such change. If any such utilities are in Tenant’s name, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with such information regarding Tenant’s utility usage from time to time as Landlord may reasonably request.

To the extent that Tenant is not paying for electricity directly to the provider therefor, Tenant shall make monthly payments of Additional Rent on account of electricity, in advance, on the Commencement Date and the first of each month thereafter equal to one‑twelfth (1/12) of the annual amount of such Additional Rent reasonably projected by Landlord, based upon prior usage at the relevant building or as projected by Landlord’s engineer, to be due from Tenant (pro-rated for any partial month at the beginning or end of the term) from time to time.  Tenant’s monthly payments may be reasonably revised by Landlord from time to time so that Tenant’s aggregate monthly payments shall equal the Additional Rent then projected to be due for the year in question.

15


 

 

Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement showing Tenant’s actual usage of electricity based on the reading of Tenant’s check-meters, if applicable, no less often than annually.  If the Additional Rent due for electricity is less than the Additional Rent for electricity paid by Tenant on account of Landlord’s calculation of estimated electrical charges, Landlord shall either promptly refund to Tenant the difference or credit same against Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes next due from Tenant.  If the Additional Rent due for electricity is more than Landlord’s calculation of estimated electrical charges, Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within 30 days following receipt of the bill therefor.  If such usage is not separately or check-metered from time to time, such usage and billing shall be based upon the reasonable estimate of Landlord’s consulting engineer.  If Tenant makes payments directly to the utility company for any separately metered utilities, then Tenant shall pay such bills directly to the utility company, Tenant shall contract directly for the applicable service, and shall pay all bills for such utility service as and when due.  Tenant shall pay all costs associated with obtaining utility service, including costs for equipment installation, maintenance and repair; exit fees, stranded cost charges, and the like, other than the costs to install such services that are included as part of Base Building Work.

 

Section 3.02.      Other Landlord Services.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the Premises, the Building, and the walkways, driveways, parking areas (including the above-ground parking garage serving the Building as described in Section 20.10), loading areas, and utility lines serving the Building 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, subject to matters described in Section 20.14 and Landlord’s reasonable security measures for exterior common areas to the extent consistent with first class office and laboratory projects, and subject to Landlord's right to prohibit, restrict or limit access to the Building or the Premises in emergency situations if Landlord determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it is necessary or advisable to do so in order to prevent or protect against death or injury to persons or damage to property.  Landlord agrees to furnish to the Premises the services, and for the periods, set forth on Exhibit 3.02 (Tenant paying for such services as Operating Expenses). All other services necessary for the use, occupancy or operation of the Premises, or to maintain the same in good condition and repair (except to the extent set forth in Section 7.01, below), shall be provided by Tenant, including without limitation security within the Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  In the event of an unanticipated maintenance or repair cost that is incurred by Landlord as an Operating Expense, Landlord may notify Tenant upon determining the maintenance or repair is needed and, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days after request in addition to the estimated monthly payments for Operating Expenses under Section 2.02 and the additional payment shall be credited against the total amount of Operating Expenses due under Section 2.02 for the year in question.  Landlord shall not be required to provide services which exceed the capacity of the building systems serving the Premises and shall not be required to act (or prevented from acting) in any manner which might create unsafe conditions, violate applicable legal requirements, or be inconsistent with standards for the operation of comparable institutionally-financed mixed use office, laboratory and research and development buildings.  In any event, subject to Section 7.06 below, Landlord’s obligation to provide such services shall be subject to interruption due to any act or omission of Tenant (including a failure to pay for utilities), accident, to the making of repairs, alterations or improvements (other than those due to the willful misconduct of Landlord), to labor difficulties, to trouble in obtaining fuel, electricity, service or supplies from the sources from which they are usually obtained for such building, governmental restraints, or to any cause beyond the Landlord’s reasonable control.  In the event of any such

16


 

 

disruption or interruption (other than an act or omission of Tenant) prior to the time when Tenant is responsible for providing such services, Landlord will use diligent efforts to restore the services, or to cause the services to be restored, as promptly as reasonably possible.  In no event shall Landlord be liable for any interruption or delay in any of the above services for any of such causes except as provided in Section 7.06.

Normal Building Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., exclusive of state and federal holidays and such other days as Landlord may reasonably designate as Building holidays (e.g. the day after Thanksgiving). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, so long as Tenant is leasing 100% of the Building, Tenant may, by reasonable prior written notice to Landlord (an “Increased Service Notice”), designate reasonable changes that are consistent with similar first class office, laboratory, and research and development buildings to the Normal Building Hours. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of the additional costs incurred to provide the additional services required by any such change in Normal Building Hours (the “Increased Service Costs”) as Operating Expenses, provided that such additional costs shall be limited to the accelerated depreciation of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system of the Building over its useful life (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) resulting from such increased Normal Business Hours, expressed as an hourly rate, as reasonably determined by a qualified independent engineer retained by Landlord. Such costs shall be payable as Additional Rent within 30 days after invoice by Landlord, to occur no more than once per month, with respect to periods when such Increased Service Costs are incurred at the times and in the manner of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, including an annual reconciliation to confirm that amounts charged under this paragraph on a monthly basis reflect the actual increased usage hours by Tenant. Any dispute regarding Landlord’s charges for the Increased Service Costs shall be resolved through the good faith efforts of authorized representatives of the parties and if such parties are unable to resolve such dispute within 30 days, then either of Landlord or Tenant may request that the amount of Increased Service Costs payable by Tenant be determined by arbitration of the assumptions and determinations made with respect to the Increased Service Costs included in such calculations.  Such arbitration shall be conducted by a qualified independent property manager reasonably selected by both parties, provided that if the parties are unable so to agree on such property manager within ten (10) days after receipt of a request to submit such dispute to such property manager, then within twenty (20) days after such notice, either party may request that the then-President of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board appoint such qualified property manager. Any property manager selected pursuant to this paragraph shall have at least ten (10) years of experience in calculating accelerated depreciation of HVAC systems and overtime HVAC charges for Building HVAC services  in similar buildings in the area and shall not be otherwise engaged by either of the parties.  The parties shall have the right to submit such materials and expert testimony to the independent property manager as are reasonably required to substantiate their respective positions. Each party shall bear its own costs in connection with such proceeding, but shall share equally in the cost to retain the independent property manager. The decisions of said property manager made in accordance with this paragraph shall be final and binding on the parties.

Section 3.03.   Facilities Management Rights.

(a)      So long as an Event of Default does not then exist, Tenant shall have the right to assume all or any portion of the on-site management services with respect to the matters described on Exhibit 3.03-1 commencing on a date no earlier than the Commencement Date. If Tenant desires to assume all or any portion of such on-site management responsibilities pursuant to this Section 3.03, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (a “Facilities Management Notice”) at least sixty (60) days prior to the first day of the month in which Tenant intends to assume such management responsibilities and identify by reference to Exhibit 3.03-1 the responsibilities to be assumed.  In connection with any such change in management, the parties shall cooperate and coordinate with each other so as to effect a smooth transition and transfer of information and responsibility.  During any period that Tenant is exercising its facilities management rights pursuant to this Section 3.03, the provisions of Exhibit 3.03-2 shall apply.

Tenant shall have the right voluntarily to terminate any portion of its management services under this Section 3.03 and to relinquish all or any portion of such services under this Section 3.03 upon sixty (60) days’ notice and may subsequently again exercise its management rights hereunder (in whole or in part) provided that the conditions set forth in this Section 3.03 are then satisfied and more than twelve (12) months have elapsed following the effective date of the termination of the applicable portion of its management services.  If Landlord terminates Tenant’s management services pursuant to the provisions of Exhibit 3.03-2, then Tenant shall have no further right to manage any portion of the Building under this Section 3.03.  If Tenant ceases to lease the entire rentable area of the Building at any time, in no event shall Tenant, in the exercise of its rights under this Section 3.03, be permitted to assume the management of areas or facilities of the Building serving tenants other than Tenant.

(b)        During such time as Tenant is exercising its facilities management rights pursuant to this Section 3.03, Tenant will cooperate and work with Landlord to manage the same cooperatively with the remainder of the Property.  In all events, Tenant shall be fully responsible for all costs and expenses of facilities management under this Section, subject to reimbursement for capital expenditures as set forth below.  Tenant’s rights under this Section 3.03 shall be personal to the Tenant originally named hereunder.  In no event may Tenant’s facilities management rights pursuant to this Section 3.03 be transferred to or exercised by any other transferee.

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, so long as Tenant is exercising its facilities management rights pursuant to this Section 3.03, Tenant will maintain, repair, replace, and manage, at its sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement with respect to capital expenditures as set forth below) portions of the Building as further described on Exhibit 3.03-1 and designated in Tenant’s Facilities Management Notice (the “Self-Managed Components”) and Landlord shall, during such period, have no obligation to maintain, repair, replace, or manage the Self-Managed Components.  If any element of the Self-Managed Components cannot be fully repaired or restored, and Landlord authorizes replacement of such item or replacement, or such replacement item is included in an Approved Budget (as defined in Exhibit 3.03-2) Tenant shall replace it at Tenant's cost even if the benefit or useful life of such replacement extends beyond the term of this Lease and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such costs to the extent that such costs are capital expenditures that would not have been includable in Operating Expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease.  Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the costs set forth in the preceding sentence by paying such costs within 30 days after receiving Tenant’s invoice therefor.  If Landlord

18


 

 

pays costs for capital expenditures when invoiced under this paragraph and Tenant subsequently exercises an option to extend the term in accordance with this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such costs allocable to the extension term or terms (to the extent that such costs would have been includable in Operating Expenses payable by Tenant) within 30 days after written request by Landlord made at any time after Tenant exercises the applicable extension option.  Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations under the prior two sentences shall survive the expiration of the term.

23


 

 

assessments; provided, however, that such assessments may only be conducted if (i) Landlord has reason to believe that there has been a release or threat of release of Hazardous Materials in a reportable quantity at the Premises or arising from Tenant’s activities at the Property or (ii) requested by an actual or prospective mortgage lender, purchaser or equity investor.  Landlord shall permit Tenant or Tenant’s representatives to be present during any such assessment, and any investigation, testing or sampling.  In making any such entry, Landlord shall avoid materially interfering with Tenant’s use of the Premises, and upon completion of Landlord’s assessment, investigation, and sampling, shall substantially repair and restore the affected areas of the Premises from any damage caused by the assessment.  Such assessment shall be at Landlord’s expense, provided that if the assessment shows that a release of Hazardous Materials in violation of this Lease has occurred, then Landlord’s actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs relating to such assessment shall be reimbursed by Tenant.  Tenant shall pay for all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord, for independent consultants or otherwise, in connection with inspections, investigations, and/or response actions concerning a release or threat of release of Hazardous Materials at the Premises.

(e)     Tenant covenants to use best industry practices in the conduct of all laboratory operations and the storage, use, treatment, and disposal of Environmental Substances at the Premises.  Tenant shall prepare a written environmental contingency plan sufficient to comply with applicable laws, regulations, codes and ordinances and good practice for first class laboratory space (“Tenant’s Environmental Contingency Program”) and shall revise the same from time to time as reasonably necessary because of changes in operations within the Premises, changes in applicable legal requirements, and changes in customary practice for environmental contingencies in first class laboratory space.  Tenant shall implement the Environmental Contingency Program as necessary in accordance with the approved plan (as it may be revised) and shall, within 14 days after Landlord’s written request, provide Landlord with copies of all reports and documentation prepared in connection therewith.  Within 14 days after Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of any routine safety audits conducted by Tenant in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business.  Landlord may from time-to-time undertake an environmental audit to assess the compliance of Tenant with applicable Environmental Laws if Landlord reasonably believes that Tenant is not then in material  compliance with such Environmental Laws or if there is any release of Hazardous Materials required to be reported under any Environmental Law that arises out of the use, operation, or occupancy of the Premises or Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Responsible Parties during the term of this Lease and any further period during which Tenant or any Tenant Responsible Party retains use, operation or occupancy of the Premises (a “Tenant’s Release”).  Any such audit shall be at Tenant’s cost and expense if the results of such audit identify any such  material non-compliance by Tenant or any Tenant’s Release.  In addition, Tenant shall investigate, assess, monitor and report as required by applicable Environmental Law, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any Tenant’s Release.  Further, Tenant shall remediate, in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any Tenant’s Release requiring Response Action (as defined in 310 C.M.R. 40.0000).  Tenant shall submit to Landlord for Landlord’s prior approval a work plan outlining in reasonable detail any Remedial Work to be performed by Tenant hereunder (the “Remedial Work Plan”).  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of such Remedial Work Plan if (i) it complies with all applicable Environmental Laws; and (ii) the Remedial Work outlined therein reasonably appears sufficient to remediate the releases to the level provided for in this Section 5.02(d).  If Tenant is obligated to remediate a Tenant’s Release under this Lease, Tenant shall be

24


 

 

obligated to remediate the Tenant’s Release to a level that will permit the portion of the Property to be used for first class office, laboratory, and research and development uses under applicable laws, statutes, codes, and ordinances, whether now existing or hereafter enacted.  Tenant shall make available to Landlord copies of drafts of any submittals to governmental authorities in connection with the Remedial Work for Landlord’s review and comment at least three (3) business days prior to such submittal, and Tenant shall consider in good faith and incorporate as Tenant reasonably deems appropriate Landlord’s comments thereon.  Tenant shall sign any manifests or other documents as the waste generator for any Hazardous Materials it disposes of or sends off site or otherwise arising from a Tenant’s Release.  This Subsection shall survive the term of this Lease and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.03. Tenant’s remediation obligation set forth in this Subsection shall not limit Landlord’s right to damages, if any, which Landlord may incur due to any unremediated Hazardous Materials resulting from a Tenant’s Release.

(f)     Tenant shall pay for all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord, for independent consultants or otherwise, in connection with inspections, investigations, and/or response actions concerning a release of Hazardous Materials at the Premises (to the extent caused by Tenant, Tenant ’s agents, contractors or employees, or persons acting by, through or under Tenant ).

(g)     Tenant may require that any representative of Landlord entering into a secured portion of the Premises identified by Tenant to Landlord in advance as containing proprietary information for the purposes set forth in this Section 5.02 execute a confidentiality agreement with respect to Tenant’s proprietary information, provided, however, that such agreement is subject to Landlord’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld).  Landlord agrees to hold any proprietary information identified by Tenant and supplied to Landlord pursuant to this Section 5.02(b)-(f) (“Confidential Information”) in confidence, subject to disclosures to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or court order or by discovery rules in any legal proceeding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may disclose such Confidential Information to its lenders, attorneys, and consultants in connection with the financing or sale of the Property or Landlord’s review of such information provided that such lenders, attorneys and consultants are informed of Landlord’s obligations hereunder and do not disclose such Confidential Information in a manner that would not be permitted hereunder.

Section 5.03.      Hazardous Materials Indemnity.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord and hold Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent and any mortgagee of the Premises, and any other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 12.01) fully harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, suits, claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings, demands, costs, penalties, damages, fines and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees, laboratory fees and cleanup costs, and the costs and expenses of investigating and defending any claims or proceedings, resulting from, or attributable to (i) the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Property or the Premises arising from the action or negligence of Tenant, its officers, employees, contractors, and agents, or arising out of the generation, storage, treatment, handling, transportation, disposal or release by such party (or their respective officers, employees, contractors, agents or invitees) of any Hazardous Materials at or near the Property or the Premises, (ii) any violation(s) by Tenant or its officers, employees, contractors, agents or invitees of any applicable law regarding Hazardous Materials, and (iii) any breach by Tenant of the obligations set forth in Sections 5.02(b) and (d) of this Lease.

25


 

 

The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 5.04.      Rules and Regulations.  Rules and regulations delivered to Tenant in writing, provided the same are not inconsistent with or in limitation of the provisions of this Lease, which in the judgment of the Landlord are reasonable, shall be observed by the Tenant and its employees, and Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to cause its agents, contractors, customers and business invitees to comply therewith. The initial rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit 5.04. So long as Tenant leases all of the rentable area of the Building, such rules and regulations shall be consistent with rules and regulations of similar first class, single tenant office and laboratory buildings in the Greater Boston area.  Tenant acknowledges that the rules and regulations may include provisions necessary to comply with requirements of governmental approvals and as necessary to maintain the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification, if any, of the core and shell of the Building.  Landlord agrees that the rules and regulations shall not be applied against Tenant in a discriminatory manner.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure of other tenants, if any, to comply with the rules and regulations.

Section 7.04.      Tenant Maintenance Obligations.  Throughout the term of this Lease, and except as provided in Section 7.03, but subject to the terms of Article 11, Tenant shall clean, maintain and repair the Premises, and any Tenant Work (including the Finish Work), the heating ventilation and air-conditioning units, if any, installed by or on behalf of Tenant as Finish Work or Tenant Work, and any other Building systems to the extent exclusively serving the Premises, all in accordance with standards for a first class office, laboratory and research and development building in the suburban Boston area, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

Section 7.05.      Landlord’s Right of Entry.  Landlord, or agents or prospective investors, lenders or purchasers of Landlord, at reasonable times, reserves the right to enter upon the Premises

27


 

 

to examine the condition thereof, to make repairs, alterations and additions as Landlord is required or permitted under the terms of this Lease, to perform any other services required or permitted by Landlord under this Lease, and at any reasonable time within eighteen (18) months before the expiration of the term to show the Premises to prospective tenants. In connection with such access, Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation or work at the Premises and shall give Tenant reasonable prior written notice where practicable (except in the event of an emergency, in which event such notice shall be as prompt as possible under the circumstances and may be oral) of Landlord’s intent to access the Premises.

Section 7.06.     Service Interruptions.  In the event that there shall be an interruption, curtailment or suspension of any service required to be provided by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit 3.02 (and no reasonably equivalent alternative service or supply is provided by Landlord) (but not including any services that are then subject to Tenant’s facilities management rights pursuant to the exercise of Tenant’s rights under Section 3.03), or if Landlord fails to commence and diligently prosecute to completion any repair or maintenance required by Landlord under this Lease within applicable notice and cure periods, that shall materially interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of a material portion of the Premises, and Tenant actually ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises (any such event, a “Service Interruption”), and if (i) such Service Interruption shall continue for five (5) consecutive business days following receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant describing such Service Interruption (the “Service Interruption Notice”), (ii)  such Service Interruption shall not have been caused, in whole or in part, by matters described by Article 11 or by an act or omission in violation of this Lease by Tenant or by any negligence of Tenant, or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and (iii) the cure of the condition giving rise to the Material Service Interruption is within Landlord’s reasonable control (a Service Interruption that satisfies the foregoing conditions being referred to hereinafter as a “Material Service Interruption”) then, as liquidated damages and Tenant’s sole remedy at law or equity, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes, based on the nature and duration of the Material Service Interruption, the area of the Premises affected, and the then current Rent amounts, for the period that shall begin on the commencement of such Service Interruption and that shall end on the day such Material Service Interruption shall cease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (w) a Material Service Interruption continues for 225 days (provided that such 225 day period shall be extended for a period of up to an additional 90 days so long as Landlord is diligently prosecuting to cure such Material Services Interruption) following delivery of the Service Interruption Notice, (x) Tenant simultaneously delivered the Service Interruption Notice to any then-Mortgagee (as defined in Section 10.1), (y) such Mortgagee has not cured such Material Service Interruption within the period set forth in Section 10.3, and (z) such Material Service Interruption adversely interferes with Tenant’s operations in at least 25% of the Premises (measured in rentable square feet), then following such 225-day period (as the same may be extended as provided above) Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and such Mortgagee; provided, however, that if such Material Service Interruption shall cease prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, then such termination notice shall be of no force or effect.

The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall not apply to matters arising out of any casualty or taking by eminent domain, which events are addressed by Article 11 of this Lease.

Article 8.

 

Alterations and Additions

Section 8.01.      Tenant Work

(a)     The Tenant shall not make any additional alterations or additions, structural or non‑structural, to the Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord on each occasion, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Any such alterations or additions are referred to herein as “Tenant Work”.  For non-structural alterations or additions valued at less than $200,000 which do not affect any of the exterior, lobbies, elevator, roof, structure, or building systems in or at the Building, Landlord’s consent shall not be required (“Minor Alterations”) provided, however, that (i) if such Minor Alteration requires a building permit from the applicable municipal authority, Landlord’s consent shall be required, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) if Landlord’s consent was not obtained therefor, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall readapt, repair and restore the affected portion of the Premises to substantially the condition the same were in prior to such Minor Alteration.  Additionally, Tenant shall give prior written notice to Landlord of any Minor Alteration regardless of whether Landlord’s consent is required.  Wherever consent is required, it shall include reasonable approval of plans and contractors and the insurance required under Section 4.04.  Unless otherwise approved by Landlord, Tenant shall use the structural engineer employed by Landlord for the Building where Alterations affect Building structure. Tenant shall notify Landlord of all alterations or additions and provide Landlord with copies of any construction plans therefor whether or not Landlord’s consent is required.  All such allowed alterations, including reasonable third-party costs of review in seeking Landlord’s approval, shall be made at Tenant’s expense by an Approved Contractor (as defined below), in compliance with all laws, and be of first class quality. Prior to commencing any work at the Property other than Minor Alterations or Alterations costing less than $2,000,000 (such amount decreasing to $500,000, at any time that Tenant fails to meet the Financial Test) in the aggregate, Tenant shall provide and record bonds or such other security as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord sufficient to protect the interests of both Tenant and Landlord in the Property from any lien arising out of a failure to pay for work performed for Tenant, and all alterations and additions performed by Tenant, (but excluding Minor Alterations), shall be performed by an Approved Contractor.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (without recourse) all warranties and guaranties then in effect for all work performed by Tenant at the Premises.  Tenant shall have the right to install its own security system within the Premises as part of any Tenant Work, subject to Landlord’s review of the plans and specifications in accordance with this Article 8.

For purposes of this Section 8.01(a), an “Approved Contractor” shall mean a contractor or mechanic identified by Tenant in writing, who has been approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b)     Except as set forth below, any alterations or additions made by, for or on behalf of the Tenant which are permanently affixed to the Premises or affixed in a manner so that they cannot be removed without defacing or damaging the Premises shall, except as expressly provided in this paragraph, become property of the Landlord at the termination of occupancy as

29


 

 

provided herein.  If Landlord notifies Tenant, in connection with any consent to alterations or additions requested by Tenant, or in connection with the review and approval of the plans for the Finish Work under Exhibit 7.02 that Tenant shall be required to remove such alterations or additions or Finish Work at the expiration of the term of the Lease, or if any such alterations or additions did not require Landlord’s consent pursuant to the terms hereof, then such alterations or additions or Finish Work, as applicable, shall be removed by Tenant, at its expense, with minimal disturbance to the Premises prior to the expiration of the term of the Lease.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, Landlord may only require Tenant to remove items of Tenant Work or Finish Work that are above or otherwise inconsistent with the first class nature of the Building.  Tenant’s trade fixtures and personal property and equipment, which are not affixed or that may be removed with minimal disturbance or repairable damage, may be removed by Tenant during the term of this Lease, and shall be removed prior to the expiration of the term of the Lease, provided such disturbance or damage is restored and repaired so that the Premises are left in at least as good a condition as they were in at the commencement of the term, reasonable wear and tear excepted.  In no event shall any Finish Work that constitutes fixtures (i.e., items that cannot be removed from the Premises without damaging the Building) funded by the Finish Work Allowance or Supplemental Allowance be deemed to be Tenant’s trade fixtures, personal property or equipment.  The Premises shall otherwise be left in the same condition as at the commencement of the term or such better condition as it may thereafter be put, reasonable wear, tear and, to the extent Landlord is required to restore the same, damage by fire or other casualty or taking or condemnation by public authority excepted.  Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise in this Lease to the contrary:

(i) to the extent that Tenant utilizes any portion of the Supplemental Allowance to make Alterations necessary to use the Premises for laboratory or research and development purposes, such Alterations must remain in the Premises following the term of this Lease;

(ii)  the Tenant’s Exterior Equipment, if any, paid for directly by Tenant, together with such other items that may be agreed upon by mutual written agreement of the parties from time to time, shall be and remain the personal property of Tenant, shall not be deemed to be Tenant Work or Finish Work, and Tenant shall have the right to remove the foregoing from the Premises at any time and from time to time during the term of this Lease; and

(iii) if and to the extent Tenant modifies, reduces or eliminates the Amenities with subsequent Tenant Work following the Commencement Date, Tenant shall restore the Amenities and affected areas of the Premises to the condition and size existing on the Commencement Date prior to the expiration of the term.

Article 9.

 

Discharge of Liens

Section 9.01.      No Liens.  Tenant will not create or permit to be created or to remain, and within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord will discharge or bond off, at its sole cost and expense and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and any mortgagee, any lien, encumbrance

30


 

 

or charge (on account of any mechanic’s, laborer’s, materialmen’s or vendor’s lien, or any mortgage, or otherwise) made or suffered by Tenant which is or might be or become a lien, encumbrance or charge upon the Premises (including Tenant’s leasehold interest therein), Property or any part thereof, or the rents, issues, income or profits accruing to Landlord therefrom, and Tenant will not suffer any other matter or thing within its control whereby the estate, rights and interest of Landlord in the Property or Premises or any part thereof might be materially impaired. Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant in connection with any Tenant Work and that no mechanic’s or other lien for any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the estate or interest of Landlord in and to the Premises or the Property, and, upon Landlord’s request, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant shall cause any contractor of Tenant to execute and deliver an acknowledgement confirming the same in such form as Landlord may from time to time reasonably prescribe.

Article 10.

 

Subordination

Section 10.01.    Lease Subordinate to Mortgages.

(a)     The interest of the Tenant hereunder shall be subordinate to the rights of any holder of a mortgage or holder of a ground lease of property which includes the Premises (any such holder, a “Mortgagee”), and executed and recorded subsequent to the date of this Lease, unless such Mortgagee shall otherwise so elect, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(f), below; or

(b)     If any Mortgagee shall so elect, this Lease, and the rights of the Tenant hereunder, shall be superior in right to the rights of such Mortgagee, with the same force and effect as if this Lease had been executed and delivered, and recorded, or a statutory notice hereof recorded, prior to the execution, delivery and recording of any such mortgage.

Any election as to Subsection (b) above shall become effective upon either notice from such Mortgagee to the Tenant in the same fashion as notices from the Landlord to the Tenant are to be given hereunder or by the recording in the appropriate registry or recorder’s office of an instrument, in which such Mortgagee subordinates its rights under such mortgage or ground lease to this Lease.

In the event any Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord, whether by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or otherwise, at the election of such Mortgagee, Tenant shall, and does hereby agree to attorn to such Mortgagee and to recognize such Mortgagee as its Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence such attornment provided such document contains reasonably satisfactory non‑disturbance provisions to allow Tenant to remain in occupancy pursuant to this Lease and exercise all of its other rights under this Lease as long as no Event of Default exists.  The form of instrument attached as Exhibit 10.01 shall be deemed acceptable to Tenant (the “SNDA”). If requested by any such Mortgagee, Tenant further agrees to enter into a new lease for the balance of the term of this Lease (and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions of this Lease) in the event of a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of a mortgage granted to any Mortgagee.  Landlord

31


 

 

will reimburse Tenant for all reasonable third party attorneys’ fees that Tenant incurs to review such agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Upon such attornment, the Mortgagee shall not be:

(A)       liable for any failure of the Landlord to perform its obligations under the Lease with respect to the period prior to the date on which the Mortgagee shall become the owner of the Property, except for any such failure to perform (i) that continues after the date that the Mortgagee shall become the owner of the Property, and (ii) of which the Mortgagee received notice of such failure to perform prior to the  date of the applicable foreclosure sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, and (iii) which is susceptible of cure by the Mortgagee after the Mortgagee becomes the owner of the Property; provided however, that in no event shall any Mortgagee succeeding to the interest of Landlord be liable to Tenant for monetary damages for any act, default or omission of a prior Landlord to the extent such damages have accrued prior to the date of such succession. Nothing in this subparagraph (a) relieves any Mortgagee succeeding to the interest of Landlord of its obligation to perform the obligations of Landlord from and after the date such Mortgagee becomes the owner of the Property, including without limitation for matters arising prior to such succession but first identified by Tenant, and for which notice is first given by Tenant, following such succession;

 

(B)       bound by any payment of rent or other sum due by Tenant under the Lease made more than one (1) month in advance;

 

(C)       bound by any assignment of or any amendment or modification to the Lease made without the express written consent of the Mortgagee except for an amendment or modification specifically referred to in or contemplated by the Lease such as an extension amendment or for an assignment for which Landlord’s consent is not required under the Lease; or

 

(D)       subject to any offset, defense or counterclaim unless (i) expressly provided for in the Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s right to offset any unpaid portion of the Lease Allowances (as defined below) as set forth in Section 2.02 of Exhibit 7.02 of the Lease, together with interest at the rate applicable to late payments of rent, until Tenant has received the entire Lease Allowances) and (ii) the Mortgagee received any notices that are conditions precedent to the exercise of such rights in the manner provided in Section 3 of the SNDA; or

 

(E)       liable for the restoration of improvements following any casualty not required to be insured under the Lease or for the costs of any restoration in excess of the proceeds recovered under any insurance required to be carried under the Lease; or

 

(F)       liable for (i) the commencement or completion of any construction, or (ii) any contribution toward construction or installation of any improvements upon the Premises (including, without limitation, the Tenant Improvement Allowance or Supplemental Allowance, each as defined in the Work Letter, which shall be collectively referred to as the “Lease Allowances”) (the foregoing subsections (i)-(ii), collectively, the

32


 

 

Construction-Related Obligations”); provided however, that if such Mortgagee succeeding to the interest of the Landlord does not fund the Lease Allowances when due under the Lease, Tenant shall retain its right to offset any unpaid portion of the Lease Allowances as set forth in Section 2.02 of Exhibit 7.02 of the Work Letter, together with interest at the rate applicable to late payments of rent, until Tenant has received the entire Lease Allowances. Construction-Related Obligations shall not include (x) reconstruction or repair following fire, casualty or condemnation, or (y) day-to-day maintenance and repairs. Prior to Substantial Completion of the Landlord Work, any rights of Tenant to exercise remedies on account of Construction-Related Obligations are further subject to the provisions of Section 5 of the SNDA.

(c)     The covenant and agreement contained in this Lease with respect to the rights, powers and benefits of any such Mortgagee constitute a continuing offer to any person, corporation or other entity, which by accepting or requiring an assignment of this Lease or by entry of foreclosure assumes the obligations set forth in this Article 10 with respect to such Mortgagee.

(d)     No assignment of this Lease and no agreement to make or accept any surrender, termination or cancellation of this Lease and no agreement to modify so as to reduce the Rent, change the term, or otherwise materially change the rights of the Landlord under this Lease, or to relieve the Tenant of any obligations or liability under this Lease, shall be valid unless consented to in writing by the Landlord’s Mortgagees, if any, to the extent that such consent is required pursuant to the terms of the applicable mortgage or ground lease.

(e)     The Tenant agrees, within ten (10) business days following the request of the Landlord, to execute and deliver from time to time any agreement, in recordable form, which may reasonably be deemed necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 10.01, including, without limitation, the form of agreement attached as Exhibit 10.01.  Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all reasonable third party attorneys’ fees that Tenant incurs to review such agreement under this subsection (e) if the form provided by Landlord is not substantially similar to Exhibit 10.01, provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to reimburse Tenant for any amount in excess of $4,000 in any one instance (such amount to be increased, but never decreased, annually in proportion to any increase in the CPI).

(f)     Landlord agrees that any subordination of this Lease to any mortgage now or hereafter encumbering the Premises shall be conditioned upon Landlord delivering to Tenant a written, recordable Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the ground lessor or mortgagee seeking to have this Lease subordinated to its interest substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 10.01 or in such other customary form as is required by Landlord’s mortgagee. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the Property is not currently subject to a mortgage.

Section 10.02.     Estoppel Certificates.  Each party agrees to furnish to the other, and Tenant agrees to cause Guarantor to furnish to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after request therefor (or, with respect to Tenant, if requested of Tenant by any Mortgagee) from time to time, a written statement setting forth the following information:

(a)     Whether and when Tenant accepted possession of the Premises, and the commencement and expiration dates of the term of this Lease,

33


 

 

(b)     The applicable Rent then being paid, including all Additional Rent based upon the Additional Rent most recently established;

(c)     That, if true, the Lease is current and the party providing the statement is not aware of any uncured breach of this Lease or specifying any breach;

(d)     That, if true, the party providing the statement is not aware of any current claims or offsets against the other party, or specifically listing any such claims;

(e)     The date through which Base Rent and Additional Rent has then been paid;

(f)     Whether Guarantor and Tenant then meet the Financial Test, collectively;

(g)     Such other information relevant to the Lease or Guaranty as the requesting party may reasonably request;

(h)     A statement that any prospective Mortgagee and/or purchaser may rely on all such information.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant has approved the statement form attached as Exhibit 10.02.

Section 10.03.    Notices to Mortgagees.  After receiving notice from any person, firm or other entity that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with the Landlord, as ground Tenant, which includes the Premises as a part of the mortgaged premises, no notice of default from the Tenant to the Landlord shall be effective against such Mortgagee unless and until a copy of the same is given to such Mortgagee, and the curing of any of the Landlord’s defaults by such Mortgagee shall be treated as performance by the Landlord.  Accordingly, no act or failure to act on the part of the Landlord which would entitle the Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder, to exercise any right of self‑help or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless (i) the Tenant shall have first given written notice to such Mortgagee of the Landlord’s act or failure to act which could or would give basis for the Tenant’s rights; and (ii) such Mortgagee, after receipt of such notice, has failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of within the applicable cure period afforded Landlord under this Lease or such longer period of time as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee to cure such default with due diligence (including such time as may be necessary for Mortgagee to obtain possession or title to the Property, if required to cure the default, but in no event shall such longer period of time exceed, in the aggregate, 180 days).

Section 10.04.    Assignment of Rents.  With reference to any assignment by the Landlord of the Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the a Mortgagee, the Tenant agrees:

(a)     That the execution thereof by the Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the Mortgagee, shall never be treated as an assumption by such Mortgagee of any of the obligations

34


 

 

of the Landlord hereunder, unless such Mortgagee shall, by notice sent to the Tenant, specifically make such election; and

(b)  That, except as aforesaid, such Mortgagee shall be treated as having assumed the Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such Mortgagee’s mortgage or the taking of possession of the Property, or, in the case of a ground lessor, the termination of the ground lease.

Article 11.

 

Fire, Casualty and Eminent Domain

Section 11.01.    Rights to Terminate the Lease.   The Landlord, at its sole option, may elect to terminate this Lease, provided that Landlord is then also terminating the lease of any other tenant that is similarly affected in the Building, if (i) all or substantially all of the Premises or at least 50 percent of the Building (not including the Premises) is damaged by a casualty not insured by the coverage required to be carried hereunder (whether or not such insurance is actually carried), or is taken by eminent domain, (ii) the Building is damaged by an fire or other casualty (whether or not insured) such that the same cannot, in ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be restored within 15 months from the time that such restoration work would commence, or (iii) the Premises or Building is damaged by a fire or other casualty, or is taken by eminent domain, at a time when no more than 18 months then remain in the term of this Lease, and the time reasonably estimated by Landlord’s general contractor pursuant to Section 11.01(b), below, to restore the Premises or Building, as applicable, will take longer than 50% of the then-remaining term of the Lease (unless, within 21 days after receipt of Landlord’s termination notice, Tenant exercises any then-remaining right to extend the term of this Lease pursuant to Article 22 hereof).  When fire or other unavoidable casualty or taking renders any portion of the Premises substantially unsuitable for its intended use (including, without limitation, by causing damage to such portions of the common areas and facilities of the Building as are necessary to provide reasonably safe access to the Premises and to provide those building services, such as utilities and HVAC service, that Landlord is required to provide hereunder), a just and proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be made for so long as such interference shall continue, and the Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if:

(a)     The Landlord fails, within ten (10) days following written notice from Tenant of such failure, to give written notice sixty (60) days after such casualty of its intention to restore the Premises (and such portions of the common areas and facilities of the Building as are necessary to provide reasonably safe access to the Premises and to provide those building services, such as utilities and HVAC service, that Landlord is required to provide hereunder) or provide alternate access, if access has been taken or destroyed; or

(b)     If Landlord gives notice of its intention to restore and, in the reasonable estimate of Landlord’s general contractor, such restoration of the Premises (and such portions of the common areas and facilities of the Building as are necessary to provide reasonably safe access to the Premises and to provide those building services, such as utilities and HVAC service, that Landlord is required to provide hereunder) will take greater than fifteen (15) months to complete (or, if less than eighteen (18) months remain in the term of this Lease, greater than one-half of the

35


 

 

then-remaining length of the term), provided that Tenant gives such notice within 30 days after receiving Landlord’s notice that it intends to restore the Premises; or

(c)      If Landlord gives notice of its intention to restore and the Landlord fails to restore the Premises (together with such portions of the common areas and facilities of the Building as are necessary to provide reasonably safe access to the Premises and to provide those building services, such as utilities and HVAC service, that Landlord is required to provide hereunder) to a condition substantially suitable for their intended use within the longer of fifteen (15) months or such longer period as Landlord’s general contractor has estimated for restoration pursuant to clause (b), above, plus a contingency period equal to 10% of such period estimated by the general contractor, of such fire or other unavoidable casualty, or taking; provided however, that (x) in the event Landlord has diligently commenced repairs to the damaged property and such repair takes more than such period to complete due to causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, Landlord shall have the right to complete such repairs within a reasonable time period thereafter (the “Additional Time”) but in no event shall such Additional Time be longer than the shorter of (i) ninety (90) days; or (ii) the length of such delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control and (y) if Landlord completes such restoration within 30 days following receipt of Tenant’s notice of termination, then such notice of termination shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect.

In the event of any termination of this Lease in accordance with this Section 11.02 following any casualty, Landlord shall be entitled to the Tenant’s property insurance proceeds attributable to Finish Work (but solely to the extent funded with the Finish Work Allowance and Supplemental Allowance). The Landlord reserves, and the Tenant grants to the Landlord, all rights which the Tenant may have for damages or injury to the Premises for any taking by eminent domain, except for damages specifically awarded on account of the Tenant's trade fixtures, property or equipment, and moving expenses.

Section 11.02.     Restoration Obligations.  If the Lease has not terminated pursuant to Section 11.01, then, following any casualty or taking by eminent domain, Landlord shall proceed with diligence, subject to then applicable statutes, building codes, zoning ordinances and regulations of any governmental authority, and the receipt of insurance proceeds,  to repair or cause to be repaired such damage (excluding any Tenant Work and Finish Work).  All repairs to and replacements of Tenant’s Tenant Work, Finish Work, trade fixtures, equipment and personal property shall be made by and at the expense of Tenant.

Article 12.

 

Indemnification

Section 12.01.    General Indemnity.  Subject to the waiver of claims set forth in Section  4.05, except to the extent arising from a breach of this Lease by Landlord or the negligent acts or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, contractors or employees, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s lenders, Landlord’s managing agent, The Prudential Life Insurance Company of America, PGIM, Inc. PRISA II LHC, LLC,  the association of unit owners of the Reservoir Woods Primary Condominium and their respective partners, members, managers, officers, directors, and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and

36


 

 

against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, judgments, orders, decrees, actions, proceedings, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees, (x) arising from or relating to any third party claim for loss of life, or damage or injury to a person or property (i) occurring in the Building or arising out of the use of the common areas and other areas appurtenant to the Premises outside of the Building by Tenant, or its agents, employees, or contractors or anyone claiming by or through Tenant (including without limitation in the exercise of any rights of Tenant pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Lease), (ii) caused by any negligent act or omission or violation of this Lease by Tenant, or its agents, employees, or contractors or anyone claiming by or through Tenant, or (y) arising out the exercise of Tenant’s rights under Section 14.07(b) (including without limitation any claim by another tenant in the Building that such exercise resulted in a default under its lease).

Subject to the waiver of claims set forth in Section 4.05, except to the extent arising from a breach of this Lease by Tenant or the negligent acts or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors or employees, Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, judgments, orders, decrees, actions, proceedings, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to any third party claim for loss of life, or damage or injury to a person or property caused by any negligent act or omission or violation of this Lease by Landlord, its agents, employees, or contractors.

Section 12.02.    Defense Obligations.  In case any action or proceeding is brought against either party by reason of any such occurrence, the party required to provide indemnification, upon written notice from the party entitled to indemnification, will, at the sole cost and expense of the party required to provide indemnification, resist and defend such action or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended, by counsel designated by the party required to provide indemnification and approved in writing by the party to be defended, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Article 13.

 

Mortgages, Assignments and Subleases by Tenant

Section 13.01.    Right to Transfer.

(a)     Tenant’s interest in this Lease may not be mortgaged, encumbered, assigned or otherwise transferred, or made the subject of any license or other privilege, by Tenant or by operation of law or otherwise, and the Premises may not be sublet, as a whole or in part, (any of the foregoing events, a “Transfer”) without in each case having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord, and the execution and delivery to Landlord by the assignee or transferee (in either case, a “Transferee”) of a good and sufficient instrument whereby such Transferee assumes (with respect to any sublease, to the extent of the subtenants’ obligations under the applicable sublease) all obligations of Tenant under this Lease.  The provisions of this Article 13 shall apply to a transfer (by one or more Transfers) of a controlling portion of or interest in the stock or partnership or membership interests or other evidences of equity interests of Tenant or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant as if such Transfer were an assignment of this Lease; provided, that, so long as equity interests in Tenant are traded on a nationally recognized public

stock exchange, the transfer of equity interests in Tenant on such public stock exchange shall not be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this Article.  Subject to the provisions of this Article 13, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any sublet of all or any portion of the Premises or any assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease.  It shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent with respect to any proposed Transfer if the Transferee is not sufficiently creditworthy to meet its obligations under such assignment or sublease, as demonstrated by audited financial statements or equivalent evidence.  It shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a Transfer to any party which would be of such type, character or condition as to be inappropriate, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, as a tenant for a first class suburban office building.

Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring Tenant to obtain any consent on the part of Landlord (i) as a condition to or any assignment resulting from any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or acquisition of all or substantially all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Tenant or (ii) as a condition to any assignment or sublease to any affiliates controlled by, controlling, or under common control with Tenant; provided that (a) Tenant gives Landlord at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such event or Transfer (except that no prior notice need be given with respect to any Transfer referred to in clause (b) below to the extent that such notice is prohibited by law or by confidentiality agreement, in which case Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice of such Transfer within ten (10) business days following such Transfer) with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the conditions of this paragraph have been satisfied, (b) in the case of an assignment, merger, consolidation or asset sale the Transferee shall be at least as creditworthy as the then Tenant as of the date that is three months prior to such Transfer, as demonstrated by audited financial statements or equivalent evidence (the determination of creditworthiness shall take into account all of the considerations which an institutional investor in real estate would consider in evaluating the credit of a proposed tenant), (c) the Transferees comply with the provisions of this Lease, and (d) with respect to a Transfer to any affiliate of Tenant pursuant to clause (ii), above, the provisions of this Article 13 shall apply to such Transfer if, as and when such affiliate ceases to be an affiliate of Tenant.  Any Transferee referred to in the immediately preceding sentence is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee”.  Any such Permitted Transferee, however, shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 13.02 below.  For purposes of this Lease, control shall mean possession of more than 50 percent ownership of the shares of beneficial interest of the entity in question together with the power to control and manage the affairs thereof either directly or by election of directors and/or officers.

In connection with any request by Tenant for any consent to Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with all relevant information requested by Landlord concerning the proposed Transferee’s financial responsibility, credit worthiness and business experience to enable Landlord to make an informed decision.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the review of Tenant’s request for consent to any Transfer.

Any purported Transfer under this Article 13 without Landlord’s prior written consent or prior notice (as applicable) to the extent such consent or notice is required, shall be void and of no effect.  No acceptance of Rent by Landlord from or recognition in any way of the occupancy of the Premises by a Transferee shall be deemed consent to such Transfer.  Without limiting

38


 

 

Landlord’s right to withhold its consent to any Transfer by Tenant, and regardless of whether Landlord shall have consented to any such Transfer, neither Tenant nor any other person having an interest in the possession, use, or occupancy of any portion of the Premises shall enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession, assignment, or other transfer or agreement for possession, use, or occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises which provides for rental or other payment for such use, occupancy, or utilization based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by any person or entity from the space so leased, used, or occupied, and any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession, assignment, or other transfer or agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the Premises. Furthermore, Tenant agrees that in the event Landlord determines, in its sole discretion, that there is any risk that all or part of any amount payable under or in connection with any Transfer shall cause any amounts to be received by Landlord to fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Code Sections 512(b)(3) and 856(d) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, Tenant shall amend or modify the terms of such Transfer.

(b)     In the event Tenant Transfers the Premises or any part thereof for consideration in excess of the obligations of Tenant to Landlord hereunder, other than with respect to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall from time to time within fifteen (15) days of receipt pay over to Landlord an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the excess, if any, of (1) any consideration, rent, or other amounts received by Tenant from such Transferee, over (2) the sum of the rents and other expenses payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, after such excess is applied to reimburse Tenant for the actual and reasonable third-party costs for legal fees, brokerage costs, leasehold improvements, free rent or other out-of-pocket rent concession payments incurred by Tenant in procuring the Transfer, and the amount of any unamortized costs incurred by Tenant for Excess Finish Work pursuant to Exhibit 7.02.  (Tenant’s reimbursement for the costs of the Excess Finish Work shall be in monthly amounts to amortize such costs on a straight-line basis without interest over the term of the Transfer in question).  Within ten (10) days after request by Landlord from time to time, Tenant shall provide Landlord with an itemized statement of all such costs, together with reasonable third party back-up documentation for the same.  Without limiting the generality of the first sentence of this subparagraph, any lump-sum payment or series of payments actually or reasonably allocated to Tenant’s interest in the Premises (including the purchase or use of so-called leasehold improvements), as opposed to other assets of Tenant, on account of any Transfer shall be deemed to be in excess of rent and other charges to the extent such payments, if amortized at a market interest rate over the period to which such charges relate, exceeds rent or other charges allocable to the period to which such payments relate (i.e. if it is a single lump sum payment for an assignment of the entire lease, the period to which they would relate is the entire then-remaining term).  In the event of any dispute regarding the allocation referenced in the immediately preceding sentence, either party may submit such matter to arbitration pursuant to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 14.07(b) of this Lease.

Section 13.02.    Tenant Remains Bound.  No Transfer of any interest in this Lease, and no execution and delivery of any instrument of assumption pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof, shall in any way affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, but this Lease and all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as the obligations of a principal (and not as the obligations of a guarantor or surety).  From and after any such Transfer, the obligations of each such Transferee and of the original Tenant named as such in this Lease to fulfill all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and several

39


 

 

(but, with respect to any sublease, solely with respect to the obligations assumed by the subtenant thereunder).  Each violation of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions of this Lease, whether by act or omission, by any of Tenant’s permitted encumbrances, assignees, employees, transferees, licensees, grantees of a privilege, sub‑tenants or occupancy, shall constitute a violation thereof by Tenant.  The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant or any Transferee from the obligation of obtaining the express consent of Landlord to any modification of such Transfer or a further Transfer by Tenant or such transferee.

Article 14.

 

Default

Section 14.01.    Events of Default.  It shall be an “Event of Default” in the event that:

(a)     the Tenant shall default in the due and punctual payment of any installment of Base Rent or Supplemental Rent, or any part hereof of either, when and as the same shall become due and payable and such default shall continue for more than five (5) business days after notice that such payment is due;

(b)     the Tenant shall default in the payment of any Additional Rent, or any part thereof, when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days, with respect to Tenant’s regular monthly payments of Operating Expenses and Taxes, and (20) days otherwise, after notice that such payment is due; or

(c)     the Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any of the Tenant’s covenants, agreements or obligations under Sections 10.01 and 10.02 of the Lease within the time periods set forth therein or default in the observance or performance of any of the Tenant’s covenants, agreements or obligations under Section 20.06;

(d)     the Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any of the Tenant’s covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, other than those referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) - (c), and such default shall not be corrected within thirty (30) days after written notice; provided, however, if Tenant promptly commenced to cure the default and diligently pursued the cure, but such default was not capable of being cured by Tenant within the said thirty (30) day period and Tenant so notified Landlord promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days after notice of such default was given) together with an estimate of the reasonable time required for such cure, Tenant shall be allowed such longer period as is reasonably required to complete such cure; or

(e)     the Tenant or Guarantor shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, or shall seek, or consent, or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or Guarantor of all or any substantial part of their respective properties, or of the Premises, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

40


 

 

(f)      a petition is filed against Tenant or Guarantor seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, and such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days.

Following any such Event of Default, then, unless and until Landlord accepts a full cure of the default giving rise to the Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right thereafter to re‑enter and take complete possession of the Premises, to declare this Lease terminated by written notice to Tenant and to remove the Tenant’s effects without prejudice to any remedies which might be otherwise used for arrears of Rent or other Event of Default.  If this Lease is terminated by Landlord on account of an Event of Default, then the present value of the Supplemental Rent due for the entire remaining Term of the Lease shall become immediately due and payable within thirty (30) days following the date of Landlord’s written election. Any written notice of termination by Landlord may, at Landlord’s express election, serve as any statutory demand or notice that is a prerequisite to Landlord’s commencement of eviction proceedings against Tenant, and may, at Landlord’s express election, be included in any notice of default (provided, however, that any such notice included in a notice of default shall not be effective unless and until the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods).

The Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord against all loss of Rent and other payments which the Landlord may incur by reason of such termination during the residue of the term.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant following such termination to be indemnified for loss of Rent by a lump sum payment representing (A) the present value of the amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent (other than Supplemental Rent) which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease for the remainder of the term minus the present value of the aggregate fair market rent and Additional Rent (other than Supplemental Rent) for the Premises on an “as‑is” basis during such time period, estimated as of the date of termination, and taking into account reasonable projections of vacancy and time required to re-let the Premises, plus (B) the present value of the Supplemental Rent that would have been paid in accordance with the Lease for the remainder of the Term.  (For purposes of the lump sum calculation, Additional Rent for the last 12 months prior to termination shall be deemed to increase for each year thereafter by the average annual increase during the immediately preceding 5 years in the Consumer Price Index ‑ All Urban Consumers for the Boston Metropolitan area published by the U.S. Department of Labor or a comparable index reasonably selected by Landlord.  The Federal Reserve discount rate, or equivalent, plus 2% shall be used in calculating present values for all Rent.  In the absence of such election, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for the loss of Rent by a payment at the end of each month which would have been included in the term equal to (A) the difference between the Base Rent and Additional Rent (other than Supplemental Rent) which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease and the Rent actually derived from the Premises by Landlord for such month and (B) the Supplemental Rent.

In addition to the payment(s) due under the prior paragraph, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses arising out of the termination, including without limitation, all costs incurred by Landlord in attempting to re‑let the Premises or parts thereof such as advertising, brokerage commissions, tenant fit-up costs, and legal expenses.  The reimbursement from Tenant shall be due and payable immediately from time to time upon notice from Landlord of the expense so incurred.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts re-let the Premises in the event

41


 

 

the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article 14, however, Landlord's obligation shall be subject to the reasonable requirements of Landlord to lease other available space for comparable use prior to reletting the Premises and to lease to high quality tenants in a harmonious manner with an appropriate mix of uses, tenants, floor areas and terms of tenancies.  The provisions of this Section 14.01, and Tenant’s obligations to Landlord hereunder, shall survive the termination of this Lease.

Section 14.02.   Landlord’s Right to CureIf an Event of Default occurs or Landlord reasonably determines that an emergency posing imminent threat of injury or damage to persons or property  exists, the Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving its rights with regard to any Event of Default, may, after prior written notice to Tenant (prior written notice shall not be required if not practical in the case of an emergency  posing imminent threat of injury or damage to persons or property ) remedy the default giving rise to the Event of Default, or the imminent threat, for the account and at the expense of the Tenant.  If the Landlord makes any reasonable expenditures or incurs any reasonable obligations for the payment of money in connection therewith, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, such sums paid or obligation incurred and costs, shall be paid upon demand to the Landlord by the Tenant as Additional Rent and, if not paid within five (5) business days following notice that such amount is past due (provided that no such notice shall be required following the first two such notices in any 12 month period) with interest at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum for the purposes of late payments of Base Rent, Supplemental Rent, or regular monthly payments of Operating Expenses and Taxes, and otherwise at the Prime Rate plus six percent (6%) per annum, (the applicable such rate, the “Default Rate”) calculated as of the date such payments were due.

Section 14.03.    No Waiver.  No failure by either party to insist upon strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any covenant, agreement, term or condition.  No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by either party, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by written instrument executed by the other party.  No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

Section 14.04.    Late Payments.  In the event (i) any payment of Rent is not paid within five (5) business days of the due date, or (ii) a check received by Landlord from Tenant shall be dishonored, then because actual damages for a late payment or for a dishonored check are extremely difficult to fix or ascertain, but recognizing that damage and injury result therefrom, Tenant agrees to pay 5% of the amount due in (i) as liquidated damages for each late payment and 2.5% of the amount due in (ii) as liquidated damages for each time a check is dishonored.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment shall be due under the foregoing sentence for the first late payment of Rent in any twelve (12) month period if such Rent payment is made within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant.  Furthermore, if any payment of Rent shall not be paid when due, the same shall bear interest, from the date when the same was due until the date paid, at the Default Rate; provided, however, that no interest shall be due with respect to late payments of Rent on the first occasion in any 12 month period unless Tenant fails to make

42


 

 

such payment within five (5) business days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of such delinquency. (The grace periods herein provided are strictly related to the liquidated damages for, and interest on, a late payment and shall in no way modify or stay Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent when it is due, nor shall the same preclude Landlord from pursuing its remedies under this Article 14, or as otherwise allowed by law.)

Section 14.05.    Remedies Cumulative.  Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

Section 14.06.    Landlord’s Obligation to Make Payments.  Tenant shall not be entitled to offset against Rent any payments due from Landlord to Tenant except as expressly set forth herein.

Section 14.07.    Landlord Defaults 

(a)     Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord's obligations under the terms of this Lease unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after notice by Tenant to Landlord (“Tenant Default Notice”) specifying the manner in which Landlord has failed to perform any such obligations (provided, however, if Landlord promptly commences to cure the default and diligently pursues the cure, but such default is not capable of being cured by Landlord within the said thirty (30) day period and Landlord so notifies Tenant promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days after such Tenant Default Notice is given) together with an estimate of the reasonable time required for such cure, Landlord shall be allowed such longer period as is reasonably required to complete such cure).  The provisions of this Section 14.07 shall not apply to Landlord’s obligations to complete the Landlord Work, the sole and exclusive remedies for which are set forth in Section 1.03 of this Lease.

(b)     Tenant’s Self-Help Right.  If Landlord is in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods (exclusive of the performance of the Landlord Work which shall be governed by the terms of Section 2.07 of the Work Letter attached to this Lease), then Tenant shall have the right to remedy such default on Landlord's behalf (provided that Tenant uses reasonable efforts to avoid violating or rendering void any warranties maintained by Landlord) after ten (10) business days prior notice to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within 30 days after invoice for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection therewith to the extent in excess of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses that Tenant would have been obligated to pay had Landlord performed such obligations within applicable notice and cure periods, together with interest at the Default Rate, and if not so paid then Tenant shall have the right to recover the same by an abatement of Base Rent, provided that such abatement shall cease at such time as and to the extent that payment of the full amount then due Tenant hereunder is tendered to Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord disputes Tenant’s right to abate Base Rent, or the

43


 

 

amount of the abatement, such dispute shall be resolved in an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the immediately following paragraph prior to any abatement of disputed amounts by Tenant and if the amount of the abatement is more than 20% of the aggregate amount of Base Rent due in any month, then the amount abated in any one month shall not exceed 20% of the Base Rent and the excess amount of the abatement shall be carried forward with interest at the Default Rate.  Tenant’s self-help rights under this paragraph shall be exercised by Tenant only (i) with respect to conditions actually existing within the Premises or, in the event of an emergency, in common areas of the Building, and (ii) with respect to conditions that materially affect Tenant's ability to use and enjoy the Premises and to conduct Tenant’s operations therein.  Tenant is not precluded from entering into other tenant spaces, if applicable, in the exercise of the foregoing self-help rights to the extent reasonably necessary to access common areas of the Building; provided, however, that (x) any such entry by Tenant's shall be at its own risk and expense and (y) Tenant obtains, in advance, an agreement from the other tenant allowing such entry.  The provisions of this paragraph may not be exercised by any subtenants of Tenant.

Any arbitration decision under this paragraph shall be enforceable in accordance with applicable law in any court of proper jurisdiction.  Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord requests arbitration by notice to Tenant, the parties shall direct the Boston office of the AAA to appoint an arbitrator who shall have a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience in commercial real estate disputes and who shall not be affiliated with either Landlord or Tenant.  Both Landlord and Tenant shall have the opportunity to present evidence and outside consultants to the arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA insofar as such rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease (in which case the provisions of this Lease shall govern).  The cost of the arbitration (exclusive of each party's witness and attorneys’ fees, which shall be paid by such party) shall be borne equally by the parties.  The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the parties.  The parties shall comply with any orders of the arbitrator(s) establishing deadlines for any such proceeding.

Article 15.

 

Surrender

Section 15.01.   Obligation to Surrender.  Tenant shall, upon any expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease, remove all of Tenant’s Property from the Premises unless otherwise approved by Landlord in writing.  Tenant shall peaceably vacate and surrender to the Landlord the Premises and deliver all keys, locks thereto, and subject to Section 8.01 all alterations and additions made to or upon the Premises, in the same condition as they were at the commencement of the term, or as they were put in during the term hereof, reasonable wear and tear and, to the extent Landlord is required to restore the same, damage by fire or other casualty or taking or condemnation by public authority excepted.  In the event of the Tenant’s failure to remove any of Tenant’s Property from the Premises, Landlord is hereby authorized, without liability to Tenant for loss or damage thereto, and at the sole risk of Tenant, to remove and store any of the property at Tenant’s expense, or to retain same under Landlord’s control or to sell at public or private sale, after thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant at its address last known to Landlord, any or all of the property not so removed and to apply the net proceeds of such sale to the payment of any sum due hereunder, or to destroy such property.

44


 

 

Section 15.02.    Holdover Remedies.  If Tenant (or anyone claiming by, through, or under Tenant) shall remain in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect thereto without any agreement in writing executed with Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance.  After the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at the higher of (x) 150% of the Base Rent in effect immediately preceding such expiration or termination or, (y) 150% of the then-market rate for the Premises, and, in either case, with all Additional Rent payable and covenants of Tenant in force as otherwise herein provided, and, commencing on the date that is 45 days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages arising from such failure to surrender and vacate the Premises, including damages arising from the loss of a replacement lease transaction.  Notwithstanding the forgoing to the contrary, clause (y) of this paragraph, above, shall not apply in the event that the Lease terminates prior to its scheduled expiration on account of the exercise of termination rights by either party pursuant to Article 11 or Tenant pursuant to Section 7.06.

Section 15.03.    Decommissioning.  Prior to the expiration of this Lease (or within 30 days after any earlier termination), Tenant shall clean and otherwise decommission all interior surfaces (including floors, walls, ceilings, and counters), process piping, process supply lines, process waste lines and process plumbing in the Premises, and all exhaust or other ductwork in the Premises, in each case which has carried or released or been exposed to any Hazardous Materials (other than ordinary and customary office supplies and cleaning fluids) from the operations of Tenant or any person claiming by or through Tenant, and shall otherwise clean the Premises so that:

(a)     the Hazardous Materials from Tenant (or any person claiming by or through Tenant) operations, to the extent, if any, existing prior to such decommissioning, have been removed as necessary so that the interior surfaces (including floors, walls, ceilings, and counters),  process piping, process supply lines, process waste lines and process plumbing, and all such exhaust or other ductwork, may be reused by a subsequent tenant or disposed of in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws without taking any special precautions for Hazardous Materials, without incurring special costs or undertaking special procedures for demolition, disposal, investigation, assessment, cleaning or removal of Hazardous Materials and without incurring regulatory compliance requirements or giving notice in connection with Hazardous Materials; and

(b)     the Premises may be reoccupied for office, laboratory or research and development use, demolished or renovated without taking any special precautions for Hazardous Materials, without incurring special costs or undertaking special procedures for disposal, investigation, assessment, cleaning or removal of Hazardous Materials and without incurring regulatory requirements or giving notice in connection with Hazardous Materials.

Further, for purposes of clauses (a) and (b): (i) materials previously or hereafter generated from operations shall not be deemed part of the Premises, and (ii) “special costs” or “special procedures” shall mean costs or procedures, as the case may be, that would not be incurred but for the nature of the Hazardous Materials as Hazardous Materials instead of non-Hazardous Materials.  Prior to the expiration of this Lease (or within 30 days after any earlier termination), Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall obtain for Landlord a report addressed to Landlord (and, at Tenant’s election, Tenant) by a reputable licensed environmental engineer that is designated by Tenant and

45


 

 

acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, which report shall be based on the environmental engineer’s inspection of the Premises and shall confirm that Tenant has complied with the requirements of this Section 15.03.  The report shall include reasonable detail concerning the clean-up location, the tests run and the analytic results.

Tenant may, by written request made no earlier than six months prior to the then-scheduled expiration of the term of this Lease, request that Landlord approve the scope of Tenant’s decommissioning activities under this Section 15.03 in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 15.04.    Failure to Decommission.  If Tenant fails to perform its obligations under Section 15.03 within ten (10) days after the expiration of the term of this Lease, without limiting any other right or remedy, Landlord may, on five (5) business days prior written notice to Tenant perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such work.  In addition, any such reimbursement shall include a ten percent (10%) administrative fee (but in no event less than $1,000) to cover Landlord’s overhead in undertaking such work and, if the expiration of the term has occurred on account of a Tenant default or if the Landlord has, prior to the regularly scheduled expiration of the term, previously approved the scope of Tenant’s decommissioning activities under Section 15.03 in writing, then Tenant shall be deemed to be in occupancy of the Premises as a holdover occupant subject to Section 15.02 until the obligations are fully performed.  The reimbursement and administrative fee shall be Additional Rent.  Tenant’s obligations under this Article 15 of this Lease shall survive the termination of this Lease.

Article 16.

 

Quiet Enjoyment

Section 16.01.    Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment.  Tenant, subject to any ground leases, deeds of trust and mortgages to which this Lease is from time to time subordinate in accordance with Article 10, upon paying the Rent and performing and complying with all covenants, agreements, terms and conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed or complied with, shall not be prevented by the Landlord, or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, from lawfully and quietly holding, occupying and enjoying the Premises during the term of this Lease, except as specifically provided for by the terms hereof.  This covenant is in lieu of any other so-called quiet enjoyment covenant, either express or implied.

Article 17.

 

Acceptance of Surrender

Section 17.01.    Acceptance of Surrender.  No surrender to Landlord of this Lease or of the Premises or any part thereof or of any interest therein by Tenant shall be valid or effective unless required by the provisions of this Lease or unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Landlord.  No act on the part of any representative or agent of Landlord, and no act on the part of Landlord other than such a written agreement and acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute or be deemed an acceptance of any such surrender.

The balance of Tenant’s parking spaces shall be located in the parking garage to be constructed substantially in the location shown on Exhibit 20.10.  At Landlord’s election, at no cost to Tenant, Landlord may designate parking spaces in the parking garage for exclusive use by Tenant (in addition to the Executive Parking Spaces and Surface Spaces) and other tenants within the Condominium (subject to reasonable approval by Tenant with respect to the location of Tenant’s designated spaces), and Landlord may install signage or implement a pass or sticker system to control parking use, and may employ valet parking to meet the requirements of this Section.

Section 20.11.    Future Development.

(a)  Landlord reserves all rights as may be necessary or desirable to construct additional structured parking and buildings at the property that is subject to the Condominium.  In connection with any such additional development, exterior common areas and facilities at the Property may be eliminated, altered, or relocated and may also be utilized to serve the new improvements.  The rights set forth above shall include rights to use portions of the Property (other than the Premises) for the purpose of temporary construction staging and related activities and to implement valet parking (with no material interruption to the operation of Tenant’s parking rights under this Lease) for reserved and unreserved parking spaces for the purpose of facilitating construction during such activities.  Landlord agrees that, so long as no Event of Default is continuing under this Lease, it shall not construct any additional improvements pursuant to this Section 20.11 in the locations shown on Exhibit 20.11 as “No Build Area”.

(b)        Landlord and its representatives, contractors, agents, employees and licensees shall have the right during any construction period to enter the Property (other than the Premises except to the extent reasonably required for the development of a pedestrian bridge from the Premises to the parking garage under the Special Permit (the “Pedestrian Bridge”), and then in a manner consistent with construction in an occupied first class office and laboratory building (taking all reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises)) to undertake such work, including for the purposes to construct a pedestrian bridge to the parking structure; to shore up the foundations and/or walls of the Premises and other improvements at the Property; to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around the Premises or in other locations within or adjacent to the other improvements at the Property; and to do any other act necessary for the safety of the Premises or other improvements at the Property or the expeditious completion of

50


 

 

such construction.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business and to minimize the extent and duration of any inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant resulting from any work pursuant to this Section in or about the Premises or Property, consistent with accepted construction practice, and so long as Landlord uses such reasonable efforts Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of Rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business resulting from any act by Landlord pursuant to this Section. The Pedestrian Bridge shall not be included in the Premises or the Building for purposes of determining rentable square footage and Tenant’s Share, and, at Tenant’s election, will be closed off from direct access to the Premises by Landlord so long as it is permitted pursuant to applicable laws, codes, and ordinances.

(c)        In connection with the foregoing or as Landlord may otherwise reasonably determine is necessary to accommodate the financing or operation of the Building or any future development pursuant to this Section 20.11, Landlord may create a subsidiary condominium or subject the Property to a ground lease.  In the event the Building is submitted to a subsidiary condominium regime, the Property shall be deemed to be the condominium unit in which the Premises is located and all common areas and facilities serving solely such unit of the condominium, and, at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, Exhibit 1.01-2 shall be amended accordingly.  This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any such ground lease or condominium (and covenants and easements granted in connection therewith) so long as the same are not inconsistent in any material respect with Tenant’s rights under this Lease.  Tenant agrees to enter into any instruments reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with the foregoing so long as the same do not decrease the rights or increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, including a subordination of this Lease to a ground lease or documents creating a subsidiary condominium at the Property.  Tenant agrees not to take any action to oppose any application by Landlord for any permits, consents or approvals from any governmental authorities for any redevelopment or additional development of all or any part of the Property, and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any of Tenant’s subtenants or assigns (collectively, “Tenant Responsible Parties”) from doing so.  For purposes hereof, action to oppose any such application shall include, without limitation, communications with any governmental authorities requesting that any such application be limited or altered.  Also for purposes hereof, commercially reasonable efforts shall include, without limitation, commercially reasonable efforts, upon receiving notice of any such action to oppose any application on the part of any Tenant Responsible Parties, to obtain injunctive relief, and, in the case of a subtenant, exercising remedies against the subtenant under its sublease.  Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all reasonable third party attorneys’ fees that Tenant incurs to review any such documents and agreements.

Section 20.12.    Signage.  So long as the Premises consist of at least 110,000 rentable square feet and continues to include the eastern entrance and lobby to the Building, and subject to applicable laws, codes and ordinances, Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, may install and maintain (a) an exterior sign identifying Tenant on the east façade of the Building within the location shown on Exhibit 20.12, attached, or another location mutually agreeable to the parties, (b) a sign identifying Tenant on a new stone monument located off of Winter Street near the driveway entrance to the Reservoir Woods West Campus approximately as shown on Exhibit 20.12, attached, (c) a sign identifying Tenant on a monument sign located off of South Drive at the entrance to the Building approximately as shown on Exhibit 20.12, attached, (d) a sign identifying Tenant on a monument sign located near the west entrance to the Building as shown on Exhibit 20.12, attached, and (e) a

51


 

 

sign identifying Tenant on a monument sign located near the east entrance to the Building as shown on Exhibit 20.12, attached.  Any signage installed by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph shall be the responsibility of Tenant, and the design of such signage shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  All signage described in this Section 20.12 shall be consistent in quality with similar signage in first class office, laboratory, research and development buildings. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, as is reasonably required for Tenant to obtain the approvals necessary for all such signage. Tenant shall have the right to install and maintain signage within the Building in its sole discretion (subject only to the provisions of Article 8), provided that such signage complies with applicable laws, codes and ordinances and, to the extent visible from the exterior of the Building, is consistent with interior signage found in first class office and laboratory parks in the Greater Boston area. At the expiration or earlier termination of the term, Tenant shall remove all of its signage and restore any damage caused by such removal. So long as Tenant leases at least 80% of the rentable area of the Building, Tenant’s signage rights in this Section shall be the exclusive exterior signage rights on the Building (other than signage required by applicable laws, codes or ordinances, for ordinary and customary Building signage identifying Landlord or its property manager, or as otherwise provided in the Landlord Work, and nothing in this sentence shall prohibit one (1) exterior monument sign identifying  other tenants in the Building leasing at least 35,000 rentable square feet each, if any, from time to time).

Section 20.13.    Brokers.  Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant that they have not directly or indirectly dealt with any broker with respect to the leasing of the Premises other than CB Richard Ellis and Jones Lang LaSalle New England LLC (“Brokers”).  Each party agrees to exonerate and save harmless and indemnify the other against any loss, cost, claim or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from its breach of the forgoing representation and warranty.  Brokers are to be paid by Landlord pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement.

Section 20.14.    Force Majeure.  In the event Landlord or Tenant shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act (excluding monetary obligations) required under this Lease to be performed by such party by reason of Acts of God, unusually severe weather, fire, flood, or other casualty, shortage of labor, materials or equipment, governmental action or inaction, strikes, lockouts, labor difficulty, failure of power, restricted governmental law or regulations, riots, civil commotion, insurrection, war or other reason of a like nature not the fault of such party, then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this Section 20.14 shall apply to all obligations of each party regardless of whether any such obligation makes express reference to this Section 20.14, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 20.14 shall excuse Landlord’s or Tenant’s failure to make payments under this Lease when due.

Section 20.15.    Limitations on Liability.  None of the provisions of this Lease shall cause Landlord to be liable to Tenant, or anyone claiming through or on behalf of Tenant, for any special, indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits or revenues.  None of the provisions of this Lease shall cause Tenant to be liable to Landlord, or anyone claiming through or on behalf of Landlord, for any special, indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits or revenues, except for a breach of Section 5.02(b)-(c) of this Lease or as otherwise provided in Section 15.02 of this Lease, and provided that no remedy expressly set forth

52


 

 

in this Lease shall be deemed special, indirect or consequential.  In no event shall any individual partner, officer, shareholder, trustee, beneficiary, director, agent or similar party be liable for the performance of or by Landlord or Tenant under this Lease or any amendment, modification or agreement with respect to this Lease.  Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Property in connection with the enforcement of Landlord’s obligations in this Lease.

Rooftop License

Section 21.01.    Rooftop License.  Landlord grants Tenants the appurtenant, exclusive (so long as Tenant leases the entire rentable area of the Building), and irrevocable (except upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease) license at no additional charge, but otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, to use the roof of the Building (the “Rooftop Installation Areas”) to operate, maintain, repair and replace reasonable amounts of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment and telecommunications transmission and receiving equipment for Tenant’s own use, such as satellite dishes, microwave dishes, antennae, and the like, in each case appurtenant to the Permitted Uses installed as part of Finish Work or otherwise as permitted pursuant to Article 8 (“Rooftop Equipment”). Once installed, mechanical equipment necessary to utilize the Premises for office or laboratory purposes shall not be removed by Tenant unless it is replaced by equipment of similar utility. In the event that Tenant ever ceases to lease the entire rentable area of the Building, the location and layout of the Rooftop Installation Areas shall not exceed in area the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of rooftop areas made available to all tenants in the Building for similar purposes. Landlord reserves the right to use and access portions of the roof for the installation, operation, repair, replacement, and maintenance of rooftop equipment installed in connection with the Base Building Work and future rooftop equipment serving the Building. Tenant shall provide Landlord with 24-hour, 7-day a week access to the rooftop for the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence.   For purposes of clarity, the Rooftop Installation Areas are not part of the Premises (e.g., are located outside of the mechanical penthouse that is included within the Premises as indicated on Exhibit 1.01).

Section 21.02.    Installation and Maintenance of Rooftop Equipment.  Tenant shall install Rooftop Equipment at its sole cost and expense, at such times and in such manner as Landlord may reasonably designate and in accordance with all of the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation Article 8.  Tenant shall not install or operate Rooftop Equipment until it receives prior written approval of the plans for such work in accordance with Article 8.  Landlord may withhold approval if the installation or operation of Rooftop Equipment reasonably would be expected to damage the structural integrity of the Building.  Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord as reasonably required to accommodate any re-roofing of the Building during the Lease term and Tenant shall be responsible for any costs associated with moving or temporarily relocation Tenant’s Roof Equipment to the extent such Rooftop Equipment is not attached to the roof with

56


 

 

permanent flashing or equivalent measures consistent with the permanent installation of such Rooftop Equipment (as opposed to surface mounting or use of ballasts).

Tenant shall engage Landlord’s roofer before beginning any rooftop installations or repairs of Rooftop Equipment, whether under this Article 21 or otherwise, and shall always comply with the roof warranty governing the protection of the roof and modifications to the roof.  Tenant shall obtain a letter from Landlord’s roofer following completion of such work stating that the roof warranty remains in effect.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause a qualified contractor to inspect the Rooftop Installation Areas periodically (and at least two times per year) and correct any loose bolts, fittings or other appurtenances and shall repair any damage to the roof caused by the installation or operation of Rooftop Equipment.  Tenant shall pay Landlord following a written request therefor, with the next payment of Rent, (i) all applicable taxes or governmental charges, fees, or impositions imposed on Landlord because of Tenant’s use of the Rooftop Installation Areas and (ii) the amount of any increase in Landlord’s insurance premiums as a result of the installation of Rooftop Equipment.

Section 21.03.    Indemnification. Tenant agrees that the installation, operation and removal of Rooftop Equipment shall be at its sole risk.  Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord and the other Indemnitees against any liability, claim or cost, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the loss of life, personal injury, damage to property or business or any other loss or injury (except to the extent due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents, or contractors) arising out of the installation, use, operation, or removal of Rooftop Equipment by Tenant or its employees, agents, or contractors, including any liability arising out of Tenant’s violation of this Article 21.   Subject to the provisions of Section 21.05, Landlord assumes no responsibility for interference in the operation of Rooftop Equipment caused by other tenants’ equipment, if any, or for interference in the operation of other tenants’ equipment caused by Rooftop Equipment; provided, however, that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the rights of Tenant under this Lease to the extent the same are superior to that of any other tenants of the Property and shall comply with the provisions of Section 21.05, below.  The provisions of this Section 21.03 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 21.04.    Removal of Rooftop Equipment.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall (i) remove Rooftop Equipment from the Rooftop Installation Areas (other than mechanical equipment necessary to utilize the Premises for office or laboratory purposes) in accordance with the provisions of this Lease and (ii) leave the Rooftop Installation Areas in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear and (except to the extent the responsibility of Tenant to repair pursuant to this Lease) casualty excepted.  If Tenant does not remove Rooftop Equipment when so required, Landlord may remove and dispose of it and charge Tenant for all costs and expenses incurred.

Section 21.05.    Interference by Rooftop Equipment.  If Tenant leases less than all of the rentable area of the Building, Landlord may grant future roof rights to other parties, and Landlord shall be contractually obligated to cause such other parties to eliminate and avoid interference with Rooftop Equipment to the same or greater extent as Tenant is so obligated.  If Rooftop Equipment (i) causes physical damage to the structural integrity of the Building, (ii) materially interferes with any telecommunications, mechanical or other systems located at or servicing the Building and

57


 

 

installed prior to the date of the applicable Rooftop Equipment, or (iii) interferes with any other service provided to other tenants or occupants at the Building by rooftop installations installed prior to the installation of the applicable Rooftop Equipment, in each case in excess of that permissible under F.C.C. or other regulations (to the extent that such regulations apply and do not require such tenants or those providing such services to correct such interference or damage), Tenant shall within five (5) business days of notice of a claim of interference or damage cooperate with Landlord or any other tenant or third party making such claim to determine the source of the damage or interference and effect a prompt solution at Tenant’s expense (if Rooftop Equipment caused such interference or damage).  In the event Tenant disputes Landlord’s allegation that Rooftop Equipment is causing a problem with the Building (including, but not limited to, the electrical, HVAC, and mechanical systems of the Building) and/or any other Building tenant’s or occupant’s equipment in the Building, in writing delivered within five (5) business days of receiving Landlord’s notice claiming such interference, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet to discuss a solution, and if within seven (7) days of their initial meeting Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve the dispute, then the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions set forth below.

The parties shall direct the Boston office of the AAA to appoint an arbitrator who shall have a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience in commercial real estate disputes and who shall not be affiliated with either Landlord or Tenant.  Both Landlord and Tenant shall have the opportunity to present evidence and outside consultants to the arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial real estate arbitration rules of the AAA insofar as such rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease (in which case the provisions of this Lease shall govern).  The cost of the arbitration (exclusive of each party's witness and attorneys’ fees, which shall be paid by such party) shall be borne equally by the parties.  Within ten (10) days of appointment, the arbitrator shall determine whether or not Rooftop Equipment is causing a problem with the Building and/or any other Building tenants’ equipment in the Building, and the appropriate resolution, if any.  The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on the parties.  If Tenant shall fail to cooperate with Landlord in resolving any such interference or if Tenant shall fail to implement the arbitrator’s decision within ten (10) days after it is issued, Landlord may at any time thereafter (i) declare an Event of Default and/or (ii) relocate the item(s) of Rooftop Equipment in dispute in a manner consistent with the arbitral decision.

Section 21.06.   Relocation of Rooftop EquipmentBased on Landlord’s good faith determination that such a relocation is necessary, Landlord reserves the right to cause Tenant to relocate Rooftop Equipment located on the roof to comparably functional space on the roof by giving Tenant prior notice of such intention to relocate.  If within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice Tenant has not agreed with Landlord on the space to which Rooftop Equipment is to be relocated, the functional utility of such location, the timing of such relocation, and the terms of such relocation, then either party may submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 21.05, above (except that the arbitrators determination shall be of the space to which Rooftop Equipment is to be relocated, the timing of such relocation, and the terms of such relocation).  Landlord agrees to pay the reasonable cost of moving Rooftop Equipment to such other space, taking such other steps necessary to ensure comparable functionality of Rooftop Equipment, and finishing such space to a condition comparable to the then condition of the current location of Rooftop Equipment.  Such payment by Landlord shall not constitute an Operating Expense under this Lease.  Tenant shall arrange for the relocation of Rooftop Equipment within sixty (60) days after

58


 

 

a comparable space is agreed upon or determined by arbitration, as the case may be.  In the event Tenant fails to arrange for said relocation within the sixty (60) day period, Landlord shall have the right to arrange for the relocation of Rooftop Equipment at Landlord’s expense, all of which shall be performed in a manner designed to minimize interference with Tenant’s business.  The provisions of this Section shall be applicable only if Tenant shall ever occupy less that the entire rentable area of the Building.

Article 22.

 

Extension Options

Section 22.01.    Option to Extend.  Provided that (i) Tenant is not in default hereunder, after any applicable notice and cure periods have expired, at the time Tenant gives its Extension Notice or at the time the Option Term would commence, or (ii) no sublets of more than 50% of the Premises are then in effect that required Landlord's consent under Article 13, Tenant shall have the right, at its election, to extend the original term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of ten (10) years (the “Option Term”) commencing upon the expiration of the original term, provided that Tenant shall give Landlord an irrevocable (except as expressly set forth in Section 22.04) written notice (an “Extension Notice”) in the manner provided in Section 18.01 of the exercise of its election to so extend at least eighteen (18) months, and no more than twenty-four (24) months prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease.  Except for this Article 22, the provisions of the Work Letter, and as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, all the agreements and conditions in this Lease contained shall apply to the Option Term, including without limitation the obligation to pay Additional Rent for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses.  If Tenant shall give written notice as provided in Section 22.01 of the exercise of the election in the manner and within the time provided aforesaid, the term shall be extended upon the giving of the notice without the requirement of any action on the part of Landlord.

Section 22.02.     Extension Rent.  The annual Base Rent payable during any Option Term shall be the greater of (x) ninety-five percent (95%) of the Market Rent as determined in the manner set forth in Section 22.03, 22.04 and 22.05, below, or (y) $38.25 per rentable square foot per annum.  If the annual Base Rent for the Option Term has not been determined by the commencement date of the Option Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at the last annual rental rate in effect for the expiring Term until such time as annual Base Rent for the Option Term has been determined.  Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the commencement of the Option Term.  If such adjustment results in an underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment within 30 days after the determination thereof.  If such adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against the next installment of Base Rent due under the Lease and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments, until the entire amount of such overpayment has been credited against Base Rent.

Section 22.03.    Market Rent.  If Tenant gives Landlord timely notice of its election to extend the then current term of this Lease, then within thirty (30) days thereafter, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s estimate of the then applicable market rent for Tenant’s space, based on the rent for similar space in the Property and rent for similar space in similar first

59


 

 

class suburban office buildings in Waltham area (the “Market Rent”) for the Premises in its then as-is condition (or such better condition as Tenant shall be required to maintain under this Lease), taking into account all of the factors that a landlord and tenant would consider in negotiating an arms-length rent (however, in no event shall the determination of Market Rent treat any portion of the Premises as being used for research or laboratory purposes, but rather that said determination of Market Rent shall treat the entire Premises as being used for office purposes for the purposes of determining such Market Rent).  For each year of the Option Term after the first year of the Option Term, Base Rent shall never be decreased below that paid in the prior lease year, but may or may not, on account of the determination of Market Rent, increase.

Section 22.04.    Tenant’s Right to Dispute Market Rent.  In the event that Tenant disputes the Market Rent estimate provided by Landlord, Tenant may, within 15 days of its receipt of notice from Landlord estimating such Market Rent, either (i) elect to withdraw its request for an extension, in which case there shall be no extension of the term of this Lease, or (ii) give notice to Landlord of such dispute and require that both Landlord and Tenant enter into a 15 day good faith negotiating period to see if Landlord and Tenant come to a mutual agreement in establishing the Market Rent.  If Landlord and Tenant can come to agreement as to the Market Rent within such 15 day period, then the Market Rent shall be set for the purposes of the Option Term as the parties agree.  If Landlord and Tenant cannot come to an agreement in establishing Market Rent within such 15 day period, then Tenant may either (x) elect to withdraw its request for an extension, in which case there shall be no extensions of the term of this lease, or (y) give notice to Landlord requiring that the establishment of the Market Rent be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 22.05 below.  If Tenant does not so dispute Landlord’s estimated Market Rent within the 15 day period first referenced in this paragraph, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s estimate of Market Rent.  In no event shall the extension of the term of this Lease be affected by the determination of the Market Rent, such exercise of extension being fixed at the time at which notice is given (subject to the provisions of clauses (i) and (x), above).

Section 22.05.     Arbitration of Market Rent.  In the event Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree on the then Market Rent for the purposes of determining the Base Rent for the Option Term, then Market Rent (subject to the floor set forth in Section 22.02, clause (y), above) shall be established in the following manner of arbitration:

(a)     Each of Tenant and Landlord shall choose an arbitrator knowledgeable in the field of establishing fair rental values in the Waltham Class A office market;

(b)     The arbitrators selected in accordance with “(a)” above shall select a third arbitrator who is a qualified real estate appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the appraisal of first class office buildings in the Waltham Class A office market;

(c)     The selections shall be completed no later than twenty-one (21) days after Tenant’s notice requiring the arbitration of Market Rent.  If any selection is not made within the 21‑day time period, either party may petition the Boston office of the AAA to make the selection;

(d)     Within thirty (30) days after their appointment, the arbitrators shall determine the Market Rent for the Premises for the Option Term, and shall notify Tenant and Landlord of such determination within seven (7) days, which determination shall be final and

60


 

 

binding upon Tenant and Landlord.  If the arbitrators are unable to agree upon the Market Rent, the Market Rent will be deemed to be the average of the Market Rents proposed by the arbitrators, except that (i) if the lowest proposed Market Rent is less than 90% of the second to lowest proposed fair market rent, the lowest proposed Market Rent will automatically be deemed to be 90% of the second to lowest proposed Market Rent and (ii) if the highest proposed Market Rent is greater than 110% of the second to highest proposed Market Rent, the highest proposed Market Rent will automatically be deemed to be 110% of the second to highest proposed Market Rent.

(e)     The foregoing arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA or its successors;

(f)     Landlord and Tenant shall each pay all costs of the arbitrator it selected and one‑half (½) of all other costs of the arbitration proceedings.

For the purpose of determining Market Rent the parties shall use as a guideline the average rental rates for similar available office space (and shall value the subject space as 100% office space without regard for any research or laboratory use by Tenant) in similar office buildings in the Waltham market.

Guaranty

Section 24.01   Guaranty. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant has provided Landlord with a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in the form attached as Exhibit 24.01 from Alkermes PLC, a company registered under the laws of Ireland (“Guarantor”)

Article 25.

 

Expansion Option

Section 25.01.   Expansion Option. Landlord holds development rights under the Special Permit for an additional building as shown on Exhibit 25.01, attached (the “Proposed Additional Building”).  Landlord acknowledges that Landlord shall not, prior to the Outside Expansion Request date (as hereinafter defined) build the Proposed Additional Building and/or any related parking facilities, except as requested by Tenant pursuant to this Section 25.01. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, pursuant to Section 20.11, has the right to build the Proposed Additional Building and related parking facilities, subject to the immediately preceding sentence.  Tenant shall have the right, prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Outside Expansion Request Date”) to request that Landlord pursue the development of the Proposed Additional Building by written notice (an “Expansion Notice”) to Landlord.  Following the giving of such written notice, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon a schedule

61


 

 

and budget for any such development, which shall include a pre-development phase for any additional required permitting.  Any such expansion shall be conditioned upon (i) the parties entering into a mutually agreeable lease agreement at market rent (taking into account the financing available in the market, and allowing a market return to Landlord on its costs to construct the Proposed Additional Building, associated parking garage, site work, any offsite replacement parking or related improvements required to comply with applicable laws, codes and ordinances (including but not limited to the Pedestrian Bridge, but nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to make Tenant responsible for the cost to construct the Pedestrian Bridge if Tenant does not enter into a lease for the Proposed Additional Building pursuant to this Section 25.01), and for a term that is co-terminus with the term of this Lease but no less than 12 years (without use of extension options; however, in connection with a lease of the Proposed Additional Building, Tenant shall be granted the option to exercise an additional interim right to extend the term of this Lease by up to two years to make this Lease co-terminus with such Proposed Additional Building lease, such interim extension to be on the terms of this Lease with Annual Base Rent increasing in the same manner during such period as Annual Base Rent increases during the initial term of this Lease and to be exercised, if at all, by notice to Landlord given with the Expansion Notice) and (ii) Landlord's ability to obtain the necessary additional permits for such expansion, if any (using good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to do so).  Tenant shall have no right to give an Expansion Notice under this section at any time that (A) an Event of Default then exists, (B) Tenant ceases to occupy at least 66% of the Premises, or (C) Tenant and Guarantor (collectively) have a market capitalization, gross annual revenues (for the 12 month period prior to the giving of the Expansion Notice), and liquidity (determined in each case in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) that are less than 75% of the market capitalization, gross annual revenues, and liquidity of Tenant and Guarantor (collectively) as of the Effective Date, as reasonably evidenced to Landlord. For the avoidance of doubt, the 75% or greater test for purposes of clause (C) of the immediately preceding sentence must be satisfied for all three of the financial metrics for such test to be satisfied. Following the date, if any, that Tenant timely gives an Expansion Notice, Landlord may assign its obligations under this Section 25.01 to a separate entity that holds only the development rights for the Proposed Additional Building for purposes of separately financing the Proposed Additional Building. Prior to the date that is the first to occur of the Outside Expansion Request Date or the date that Tenant timely gives an Expansion Notice, Landlord shall not assign or convey the development rights to the Proposed Additional Building (other than an in connection with an assignment or conveyance of this Lease to a successor Landlord). The provisions of this Section 25.01 are personal to the Tenant or any Permitted Transferee succeeding to the interest of Tenant in this Lease by assignment or operation of law.

Article 26.

Executive Parking Garage Partial Conversion to Office Space.

Section 26.01. Tenant has requested that Landlord convert the portion of Executive Parking Garage shown on Exhibit 26.01-1 as “Converted Office Space” (which is acknowledged to contain approximately 9,880 rentable square feet) to office space.  Following the date that Landlord obtains a building permit for all of the Base Building Work Modifications, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the permits and approvals required for the conversion of such garage space to office use for a period of up to one year (the last day of such one year period being referred to herein as the “Outside Conversion Approvals Date”).  In pursuing

62


 

 

such permits and approvals, Landlord may reallocate approved square footage from the development rights under the Special Permit towards the Converted Office Space (in which case, the Proposed Additional Building shall be reduced in size accordingly).  Landlord shall deduct fifty percent (50%) of the costs incurred by Landlord in accordance with the budget attached to the Lease as Exhibit 26.01-2 (but in any event not to exceed $250,000) from the Tenant Improvement Allowance as such costs are incurred.

Prior to seeking such permits and approvals, the Landlord and Tenant shall collaborate to create a mutually agreeable scope of work (the “Conversion Work”) required to convert the applicable parking garage space to office space consistent with the level of Base Building Work finishes provided in the remainder of the Building, including but not limited to: demising of the Converted Office Space, installation of windows along the western façade of the Converted Office Space, the provision of HVAC, electrical and fire protection services stubbed to the Converted Office Space, structural modifications to the Building to accommodate the Converted Office Space, and increase the number of parking spaces available for Tenant’s use to 754.  Upon obtaining the required permits and approvals for the Conversion Work, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a Lease amendment regarding the addition of the Converted Office Space to the Premises and increasing the square footage of the Premises, the Base Rent, the Supplemental Rent, the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Supplemental Allowance on a proportionate basis (at the then-applicable rates under the Lease) to reflect such addition.  It is acknowledged that the final square footage increase of the Premises shall be determined prior to the execution of such amendment by Landlord’s Architect based on the increase in the gross square footage of the Building in accordance with the zoning code for the City of Waltham, without the application of any add-on factor, rather than by use of BOMA or other measurement standards.  Upon execution of the Lease amendment, the Landlord shall reimburse the Tenant for the costs previously deducted by Landlord from the Tenant Improvement Allowance under the Conversion Approvals Budget by reinstating the Tenant Improvement Allowance accordingly. Following the execution of the Lease amendment, Landlord shall diligently pursue the design and construction of the agreed upon Conversion Work on a reasonable, mutually agreeable schedule to be outlined in the Lease amendment; however, the completion of the Conversion Work shall not be considered part of the Base Building Work, a condition to Substantial Completion of the Landlord Work or the Delivery Date, or subject to the PRISA II Guaranty.  In no event shall Tenant have any right to terminate the Lease, or Landlord be deemed to be in default of the Lease, on account of the Landlord’s failure to timely deliver the Converted Office Space to Tenant.  Should Landlord not obtain the required permits and approvals to permit the Conversion Work by the Outside Conversion Approvals Date, then Landlord shall not be required to continue the pursuit of said approvals and the provisions of this Section 26 shall terminate and within 90 days thereafter, Tenant shall be entitled to submit a Finish Work Change Order to Landlord that provides for the redesign of Finish Work previously approved by Landlord in the remainder of the Premises, if any, to accommodate the relocation of any Finish Work elements (such as conference rooms or facilities) previously approved by Landlord in the Converted Office Space, if any.  Agreed Tenant Delays of up to 90 days in the aggregate arising out of a Finish Work Change Order submitted by Tenant in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall not be counted against the 180-day cap on Agreed Tenant Delays described in Sections 1.01(c) and 2.06 of Exhibit 7.02.

It is intended that this instrument will take effect as a sealed instrument.

Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to assume all or any portion of the on-site management services provided by Landlord to Tenant within the Premises (but expressly excluding the repair and maintenance of elements of the roof, foundation, curtain wall, exterior walls, floor slabs, ceiling slabs, structural columns, and load-bearing walls of the Building and any services provided to other tenants in the Building, if the Premises ceases to include all of the rentable area of the Building).

 

Nothing in this Exhibit 3.03-1 is intended to relieve Tenant of, or modify any, repair and maintenance obligations under Section 7.04 of the Lease.

 

 

 


 

 

Exhibit 3.03-2

 

Facilities Management Provisions

 

During any period that Tenant is exercising its rights pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Lease, the provisions of this Exhibit 3.03-2 shall apply.

 

(i)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not, and shall have no obligation to, perform any management service except as expressly set forth on Exhibit 3.03-1, to the extent elected by Tenant pursuant to Tenant’s Facilities Management Notice.  Tenant shall not be entitled to any management fee or any other form of compensation or reimbursements in connection with the performance of its services under Section 3.03 of the Lease.  To the extent that any of Tenant’s services pursuant to Section 3.03 and Exhibit 3.03-1 reasonably require, Tenant shall coordinate such services with similar services provided by Landlord to the remainder of the Building and Property.

 

(ii)       Tenant shall provide the applicable management services in a manner consistent with standards for a comparable building in a comparable location in the suburban Boston area with multiple tenants (and in any event in a manner consistent with Landlord’s obligations to Tenant under the Lease) for office and laboratory uses and in compliance with all agreements and obligations binding on Landlord (including financing agreements) (collectively, the “Property Documents”) so long as Tenant is provided with all relevant documents containing such agreements and obligations.

 

(iii)      Tenant shall contract directly with qualified third-party vendors providing supplies or services for the rights exercised by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.03 (including without limitation the operation of the cafeteria and fitness center) unless Tenant performs such services with qualified employees of Tenant. Tenant shall have no authority to create any obligations binding on Landlord in connection with such contracts.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of any such third-party vendor contracts upon Landlord’s request and in any event with Tenant’s quarterly reports pursuant to Section (viii) and (ix) below. To the extent necessary for the provision of Tenant’s management services under Section 3.03, Tenant shall arrange for all services necessary for the operation of the applicable portion of the Building and all other services required by Section 3.02 of the Lease and assumed by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.03 as if Tenant were the Landlord.  All vendor contracts shall:  (a)  be in the name of Tenant, (b) be assignable, at Landlord’s option, to Landlord or Landlord’s nominee, (c) include a provision for cancellation without cause thereof without payment of a fee or penalty upon not more than thirty (30) days written notice, (d) require that all contractors provide evidence of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (e) unless Landlord has previously approved the identity of the vendor and scope of services subject to such contract, be reasonably approved by the Landlord (including the identity of the qualified third party vendor).  Landlord shall approve or deny such vendor within five (5) business days following receipt of Tenant’s request for approval.  Upon Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall review and approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the identity of any such third party vendors and the scope of services to be provided by them.  If Tenant’s facilities management rights are terminated pursuant to paragraph (vii), below, then Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, assign to Landlord or Landlord’s nominee all

 

 

 


 

 

service contracts pertaining to the Building.  All vendor contracts shall require that such vendor maintain insurance coverage reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and in compliance with the Property Documents.  Tenant shall obtain insurance certificates annually, or more frequently as required pursuant to the applicable contract, from each such party and review the certificates for compliance with such contract terms.  Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to promptly inform Landlord of any purported breach of a third party vendor contract.

 

(iv)       Tenant shall act as an independent contractor with respect to the provision of such services and in this capacity, Tenant shall deal at arm’s length with all third parties and Tenant shall serve Landlord’s interests at all times.  Tenant shall designate an individual (the “Tenant Representative”) to be Landlord’s principal contact and to coordinate the Tenant’s activities under Section 3.03 and Exhibit 3.03-2 of the Lease.  The Tenant Representative shall be a person experienced in the operation of comparable first class buildings occupied by Tenant.  The Tenant Representative will consult with an individual designated by Landlord regarding the services under Section 3.03 of the Lease.

 

(v)        Tenant and Landlord, both acting reasonably, shall agree on annual capital and operating budgets (any such approved budget, an “Approved Budget”) for the costs that will be incurred by Tenant to operate, maintain and/or repair the applicable portions of the Building.

 

Tenant shall manage and supervise all capital improvement projects set forth in an Approved Budget, if any, in accordance with the standards of this Exhibit 3.03-2 and so as to insure a minimum of disturbance to the operation of the Property and to other tenants then occupying or preparing to occupy space at the Property.  With respect to capital improvements or capital repairs costing in excess of $25,000 annually in the aggregate not set forth in the Approved Budget, Tenant shall obtain written approval of the Landlord prior to incurring these expenses.  If requested by Landlord, the plans and specifications for any capital improvements or repairs shall be submitted to Landlord for approval.

 

(vi)       Tenant shall maintain adequate books and records in such manner as to enable Tenant or anyone auditing such books and records on behalf of Landlord to easily segregate, at no additional expense to Landlord, matters related to the Building, which shall include applicable accounting information as well as records of repairs and services performed by Tenant hereunder, (“Tenant Management Records”) for its management services to the Building, the entries to which shall be supported by sufficient documentation to ascertain that said entries are properly and accurately recorded to the Property.  Such books and records shall be maintained by Tenant at the Premises or at such other location as may be agreed upon in writing by Landlord.  Tenant shall insure such control over accounting and financial transactions as is consistent with comparable institutionally financed properties.

 

(vii)     Tenant shall insure that all Tenant Management Records shall be prepared and reported in a timely and accurate manner, and in accordance with required accounting policies and procedures under this Exhibit 3.03-2 and all of the Property Documents.  Tenant will maintain the Tenant Management Records, utilizing systems reasonably approved by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit 3.03-2. If Tenant utilizes a system that is different than Landlord’s preferred system, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, transfer the data generated by such

2


 

 

systems to Landlord’s system upon Landlord’s written request, without any degradation in the quality or quantity of such data.  Tenant may from time to time be asked to respond to requests for information related to Tenant Management Records from Landlord or an accounting group designated by Landlord, as well as Landlord's lenders.  Tenant shall respond to such reasonable requests on a timely basis.  Tenant shall designate an individual to be Landlord’s single point of contact for accounting related issues.

 

(viii)    Tenant shall remit to Landlord reports, variance explanations and other Property information, as Landlord may reasonably request relating to Tenant Management Records and Tenant’s services under Section 3.03, which reports, explanations and information shall be remitted in accordance with the policies and procedures reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

 

(ix)       Tenant shall comply with the terms of all manufacturer’s, vendors’ and contractors’ warranties governing the Building to the extent that copies of the same are provided to Tenant by Landlord.

 

In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a reasonably detailed quarterly accounting of all costs to be reimbursed by Landlord pursuant to Section 3.03 and shall deliver such reports on a monthly basis when Tenant is actively incurring costs to be reimbursed by Landlord.  Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenant’s books and records relating to such costs.  Tenant shall make its books and records relating to such costs available to Landlord at a location in the greater Boston area within 10 business days after Landlord's written request to Tenant to perform such audit.  In the event any such Landlord audit reveals an error in the amount billed Landlord, Tenant shall promptly refund the overpayment and if such error is finally determined to be in excess of 5% of the amount billed to Landlord, then Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable audit costs.  If the audit shows any errors in an accounting resulting in any underpayment of costs and expenses to be reimbursed by Landlord pursuant to this Agreement, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Landlord's share of such underpayment within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice therefor.  Any dispute with regard to the amount to be paid by Landlord shall be resolved in accordance with Article 25 of the Lease.

 

(ix)       Tenant shall prepare and submit to Landlord the budget described above.  The initial budget shall be submitted within thirty (30) days after the date that Tenant gives any Facilities Management Notice.  A subsequent proposed budget shall be submitted no later than September 15 (or such other date as specified by Landlord in writing) of each calendar year thereafter.  Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, provide written variance explanations relating to amounts reimbursable by Landlord.  Landlord’s approval of a budget shall be evidenced in writing (the approved budget being herein referred to as the “Approved Budget”) and shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(x)        Tenant agrees to employ all reasonable efforts to insure that the actual costs of maintaining and operating the applicable portion of the Building relating to amounts reimbursable by Landlord shall not materially deviate from the Approved Budget pertaining thereto either in total or in any one accounting category.

(xi)       Tenant shall assist Landlord in the preparation of IRS Form 1099, to the extent the preparation of such form in relation to Tenant’s services under Section 3.03 is necessary, by providing relevant information regarding Property expenses and costs reimbursed by Landlord pursuant to Section 3.03 and this Exhibit 3.03-2.  All reports required by Landlord will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

 

(xii)     All Tenant Management Records are property of Landlord and should be considered confidential and proprietary to Landlord’s interest.  Tenant shall deliver copies of all Tenant Management Records upon Landlord’s request.  Tenant shall not destroy any Tenant Management Records for a period of three full calendar years following the year to which such Tenant Management Records relate.  Prior to destroying any such Tenant Management Records in compliance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall provide Landlord with and 30 days prior written notice and a copy of the records to be destroyed.

 

(xiii)    Tenant shall make periodic visual inspections, at reasonable intervals, of the applicable portions of the Building (to the extent being managed by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Lease) consistent with prudent practice by professional property managers and as reasonably requested by Landlord.  Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of any material or latent defect in the Building known to Tenant in the next quarterly report after such defect comes to Tenant’s attention.  Subject to reimbursement by Landlord to the extent provided under Section 3.03(b) of the Lease, Tenant shall maintain and repair the Building or cause the Building to be maintained and repaired, to the extent applicable in light of the services provided by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.03, in accordance with the standards specified in this Exhibit 3.03-2 and as required pursuant the provisions of the Lease governing Tenant alterations and additions as if Tenant were the Landlord and so as to insure a minimum of disturbance to the operation of the Property and to other tenants then occupying or preparing to occupy space at the Property.  Tenant and Landlord shall cooperate to ascertain the existence (or not) of any contractor/subcontractor warranty or guaranty covering any defect or item requiring repair and to submit a request to the appropriate contractor/subcontractor to repair the defect as necessary.  Tenant shall keep detailed records of all alterations, repairs and other work performed at the Property by Tenant in the exercise of its rights and obligations under Section 3.03 and this Exhibit 3.03-2.

 

(xiv)     Landlord may, as Landlord’s sole and exclusive remedy, terminate Tenant’s rights, and management services being provided, under Section 3.03 for cause if Tenant fails to cure a material breach of Section 3.03 or this Exhibit 3.03-2 within thirty (30) days (or if not capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, such longer period as shall be necessary), or if the original Tenant named hereunder and/or its affiliates assign this Lease to a non-affiliate.  Any disputes regarding matters set forth in this paragraph (xiv) shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 25 in the Lease.

 

(xv)      Tenant shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify Landlord against all loss, cost, damage and expense including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any claim brought against Landlord as a result of any breach of the provisions of this Exhibit 3.03-2, or any claim that, if true, would constitute a breach of the provisions of this Exhibit 3.03-2, subject in each case to the limitations on liability of Tenant set forth in the Lease.

After receiving actual notice of the same, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any accident, injury, loss or damage occurring to the extent affecting portions of the Building that are being managed by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.03.  Landlord shall have the exclusive right to conduct the defense of any claim, demand, liability or suit against Landlord or the Property and to bring and process insurance claims against insurers thereof.

 

(xviii)  Except for outside vendors, all personnel responsible for providing services pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit 3.03-2 shall be direct employees of Tenant and Tenant shall, for purposes of such employment relationship, be acting as an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of Landlord.  All employment arrangements are solely Tenant’s concern and Landlord shall have no liability with respect thereto.

EXHIBIT 7.02

 

Work Letter

 

I. Base Building Work.

 

1.01(a)           Landlord’s Performance.  Landlord shall perform the Base Building Work (hereinafter defined) in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials of first quality, and shall comply with applicable laws and all applicable ordinances, orders and regulations of governmental authorities.  The Base Building Work shall be performed in all material respects in accordance with the list of plans and specifications attached as Attachment 1, as such plans and specifications may be modified in accordance with this Work Letter (the “Base Building Work”). Landlord may modify the design of the Base Building Work from time to time as required by municipal authorities having jurisdiction over such work or to comply with applicable legal requirements (any such change being a “Permitted Base Building Work Change”). Landlord acknowledges that if there are multiple alternatives to comply with applicable legal requirements at no greater cost to Landlord or delay in the schedule for the Base Building Work (nothing in this clause being deemed to limit Landlord’s obligations, including the obligations to incur additional costs and delay, pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(i), below), Landlord shall consult with Tenant prior to selecting the applicable method of compliance for purposes of minimizing the impact of such change on Tenant’s Finish Work. In addition, Landlord may (subject to the provisions of the immediately following paragraph) make such other modifications as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary so long as such other modifications (i) do not affect the utility, quality, or appearance of the Base Building Work in any material respect, (ii) do not materially increase the cost of the Finish Work or the FF&E Work (as hereinafter defined), except as provided below, (iii) will not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, (iv) do not involve a material reduction in the quality of materials to be incorporated in the Base Building Work, (v) will not result in any material diminution of the rentable area of the Premises, and (vi) will not materially adversely affect the building service systems and equipment serving the Premises (collectively, the “Tenant Approval Not Required Standards”). In addition to the requirements described in this Exhibit 7.02, Landlord's Base Building Work shall be further described in 100% construction documents that shall be consistent with Attachment 1 and a first class suburban office building (Tenant acknowledging that Attachment 1 is consistent with a first class suburban office building) pursuant to the schedule for Landlord’s Deadlines set forth on Attachment 4.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of the construction documents for Tenant’s review and comment.  Tenant shall review and comment on such plans within ten (10) business days following the delivery of such plans to Tenant.  If Tenant fails to review and comment on such plans within such ten (10) business day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to comment.  Landlord represents and warrants that, upon completion of the Base Building Work, the Building shall be in compliance with all applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act, except to the extent, if any, such non-compliance results from the design and construction of Tenant Work or the Finish Work.

If Landlord desires to make a design modification that does not meet the Tenant Approval Not Required Standards and is not a Permitted Base Building Work Change (an “Unpermitted Base Building Work Change”), Landlord shall promptly so notify Tenant and request Tenant’s approval of the same.  Such notice, in order to be effective, shall contain “bubbled” plans

 

 

 


 

 

specifically identifying the proposed modification and a statement of the effect, if any, of such modification on the Finish Work.  Within ten (10) business days after delivery of such notice (an “Unpermitted Base Building Work Change Notice”) to Tenant, Tenant shall notify Landlord whether Tenant approves such change or, if not, the revisions required to be made by Landlord (if any can be made to satisfy Tenant) and shall also notify Landlord of the additional costs, if any, that Tenant reasonably estimates it will incur in the redesign of the Finish Work as a result of the Unpermitted Base Building Work Change (“Tenant’s Change Estimate Notice”). Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold any such requested approval and Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord in approving changes in the Base Building Work necessary to satisfy Landlord’s schedule and financing requirements so long as the Base Building Work is consistent with standards for a first class office and laboratory building and Landlord pays for (i) all additional costs for redesign of the Finish Work and, following approval of final Construction Documents for the Finish Work, FF&E Work, in each case as reasonably estimated by Tenant in the applicable Tenant’s Change Estimate Notice, together with (ii) additional costs to construct the Finish Work and applicable FF&E Work resulting from such changes, as such costs are incurred.  If Tenant does not respond to an Unpermitted Base Building Work Change Notice as set forth above, then Landlord may send Tenant a second such Unpermitted Base Building Work Change Notice indicating, in bold and prominent print, that Tenant’s failure to respond to the same within three (3) Business Days shall be deemed to mean approval of the applicable Unpermitted Base Building Work Change. If Tenant fails to respond within such three Business Day period, then the applicable Unpermitted Base Building Work Change shall be deemed approved by Tenant without any additional costs to be reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord for redesign of the Finish Work.  If Landlord does not agree with Tenant’s cost estimate as set forth in Tenant’s Change Estimate Notice, then Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, elect to have the particular aspects of the redesign of the Finish Work performed on a time and materials basis.  In such event, Landlord shall pay all amounts due to Tenant’s architect for such work as and when due. Tenant shall provide Landlord all reasonable cost accounting information regarding such work provided to Tenant by Tenant’s architect.  If and to the extent that any Unpermitted Base Building Work Change causes a delay to Tenant’s submission of any plans required to be submitted by Tenant under this Lease, the same shall constitute a Landlord Delay as further set forth in Section 2.11 of this Exhibit 7.02.

From time to time during the construction of the Base Building Work directly affecting the Building and the Finish Work, Landlord shall allow Tenant’s authorized representatives to review and make copies of plans and specifications including all changes thereto and generally to review the progress of Landlord Work.  Such reviews shall be scheduled so as not to interfere with the conduct of Landlord Work.  Tenant shall be provided with copies of all material changes or supplements to the construction plans for the Base Building Work when the same are given to Landlord’s contractor. Landlord shall be responsible for obtaining all permits or other approvals for Landlord's Base Building Work, including obtaining any required certificates of occupancy (subject to the completion of the FF&E Work), and shall advise Tenant, at Tenant’s request from time to time, as to the status of said permits, approvals and certificates.

The Landlord has retained, or will retain, John Moriarty & Associates to be its general contractor for the Base Building Work.

(b)        Base Building Work Modifications.  Tenant may, prior to the date that is 20 days after the Effective Date, request in writing that Landlord incorporate any of the changes in the

-  2  -


 

 

Base Building Work described on, and subject to the conditions set forth in, Attachment 2 (the “Base Building Work Modifications”). To the extent that Tenant timely elects any of the Base Building Work Modifications, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable, diligent efforts to obtain the permits and approvals from the City of Waltham necessary to accommodate the same; however, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to pursue the Base Building Work Modifications if the applicable permits and approvals have not been granted by the applicable date set forth on Attachment 2. To the extent that Tenant requests the Base Building Work Modifications and Landlord is unable to obtain the necessary permits and approvals of the City of Waltham to the same, then Tenant shall have the remedy indicated on Attachment 2 and Landlord shall have no further obligation to undertake the applicable Base Building Work Modifications. If Landlord obtains the permits and approvals necessary to permit the Base Building Work Modifications, then Landlord shall have its architect modify the Base Building Work plans and specifications accordingly. The parties acknowledge that no Tenant Delay shall be deemed to occur on account of Tenant’s election to pursue the Base Building Work Modifications; however, as noted on Attachment 2, certain Base Building Work Modifications may be performed by Landlord as a separate phase of Landlord Work and shall not be deemed to be a condition to Substantial Completion, the Commencement Date, or the Rent Commencement Date.

(c)        Tenant Requests and Base Building Work Permits.  Tenant may, prior to November 1, 2018 (other than with respect to cosmetic changes such as the selection of finishes, which may be made at any time prior to the procurement of the same by Landlord), from time to time request reasonable changes in the Base Building Work to accommodate Tenant’s interior space design or system requirements, subject to the following: in the event that Tenant proposes any changes to the Base Building Work pursuant to the foregoing, Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days of such request, provide Tenant with Landlord’s architectural and engineering design proposals and Landlord’s contractor’s order of magnitude conceptual pricing setting forth the reasonable out of pocket additional net increase in costs (taking into account any prior such changes) to be incurred by Landlord to implement the change in Base Building Work as a result of such change and the amount of estimated delay, if any, that will result in the completion of Base Building Work, together with any other costs that Landlord reasonably anticipates it will incur as a result of such change, including without limitation design costs and the aforementioned increased net construction costs, if any (“Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice”).  Tenant shall, within six (6) business days of receiving Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice, either withdraw Tenant’s request for a change or authorize Landlord to proceed with the preparation of revised plans for the Base Building Work reflecting such change.  Tenant’s failure to timely reply to Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice shall be deemed to be a withdrawal of Tenant’s request for a change, but this shall not affect Tenant’s right to request the same or a similar change in the future subject to the provisions hereof.

Landlord shall make such reasonable changes provided that (i) Tenant pays for costs specified by Landlord in Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice, including the net increased construction costs (taking into account any prior changes) resulting from such change, as such costs are incurred (based on “open book” detailed backup from Landlord’s contractor and Landlord’s contractor’s subcontractors and suppliers), (ii) the change is consistent with the governmental approvals and permits authorizing the performance of the Base Building Work (and does not require any modification to the Special Permit), (iii) the change is consistent with first quality design standards for office, laboratory and research and development space and does not

-  3  -


 

 

have a material adverse effect on the value of the Building or Property, (iv) Tenant authorizes Landlord to make such change pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, (v) Tenant agrees that to the extent such change results in a Tenant Delay and the parties agree to the amount of such delay, if any, with the input of Landlord’s architect and contractor, any such agreed upon delay pursuant to this subparagraph (v) being referred to as “Agreed Tenant Delay” (provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to agree to or approve change requests that may or will result in more than 180 days of Tenant Delay in the Substantial Completion of the Landlord Work in the aggregate under this Exhibit 7.02 whether the Tenant Delay is a Tenant Delay under this clause (v) or any other Agreed Tenant Delays, including Agreed Tenant Delays described in or pursuant to Section 2.06(ii)) and (vi) such change does not materially and adversely affect the Base Building systems or other structural elements of the Building.  Upon the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall cause Landlord’s contractor to quote the cost for any such change on a lump sum or a guaranteed maximum price basis in the issuance of a change order therefor.  If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that Tenant authorizes Landlord to make such change and satisfies the other requirements set forth in the preceding sentence but Tenant does not agree with Landlord’s cost estimate for construction work as set forth in Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice, then Tenant may, by notice to Landlord set forth in Tenant’s notice authorizing Landlord to proceed with such change pursuant to clause (iv), above, elect to have the work performed on a time and materials basis in accordance with Landlord’s construction contract.  In such event, Tenant shall pay all net increases in amounts due to Landlord’s contractor for such work as and when due under Landlord’s construction contract and shall pay Landlord for any other costs reasonably attributable to implementing such changes based on the budget categories set forth in Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice. Landlord shall provide Tenant all reasonable cost accounting information regarding such work provided to Landlord by Landlord’s contractor or otherwise reasonably available to Landlord and shall cause the final amount due for such work to be determined in accordance with Section 2.08 of this Exhibit 7.02. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any changes to the Base Building Work construction plans requested by Tenant except in accordance with this paragraph.

Landlord shall consult with Tenant prior to identifying, and Tenant shall further have the right to review and comment on, the color and finishes of the materials and fixtures used in the lobbies, cafeteria, bathrooms, stairwells, and elevator cabs to be constructed within the Premises as part of the Base Building Work. Such finishes shall be consistent in all respects, including without limitation, in cost and quality with the first-class nature of the Building and the plans and specifications attached as Attachment 1.  Tenant shall provide such comments in writing within six (6) business days after any such color and finishes are presented to Tenant by Landlord.  Any disputes regarding the matters set forth in this paragraph shall be resolved pursuant to Section 2.13 of this Exhibit 7.02.

Landlord shall be responsible for obtaining all permits or other approvals for Landlord's Base Building Work, including obtaining any required certificates of occupancy (subject to the completion of the FF&E Work), and shall advise Tenant, at Tenant’s request from time to time, as to the status of said permits, approvals and certificates.

(d)     Intentionally Omitted.

-  4  -


 

 

(e)     Chemical Storage Modification.  The parties acknowledge that the Base Building Work includes (and Landlord shall not modify the Base Building Work to exclude, except as provided Section 2.07(d)(i), below) the necessary improvements to designate the first floor of the Building (containing the cafeteria) as a first floor level above grade plain under the applicable edition of the Massachusetts State Building Code for purposes of chemical storage (the “First Floor Grade Plain Condition”).

 

II. Finish Work.

 

2.01     Construction Documents.  Tenant shall prepare, at Tenant’s expense (subject to reimbursement from the Finish Work Allowance and, if applicable, the Supplemental Allowance), complete, coordinated construction drawings and specifications (the “Construction Documents”) for the initial improvements to the Premises necessary to make the Premises ready for Tenant’s occupancy (the “Finish Work;” together with the Base Building Work, the “Landlord Work”).  The Construction Documents shall be reasonably consistent with the fit plan attached as Attachment 3 to this Exhibit 7.02 (the “Fit Plan”) and the plans and specifications then previously approved by Landlord, as further set forth below. The Finish Work does not include the installation of Tenant’s decorations, data and telecommunications cabling, movable furnishings, business fixtures and equipment (collectively, the “FF&E Work”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant may elect to not initially design or construct Finish Work for Tenant to occupy a limited portion of the Premises located on one floor and not exceeding 40,000 rentable square feet in the aggregate of the Premises, excluding the Converted Office Space as defined in Section 26.01 (the “Unfinished Space”) provided such Unfinished Space shall initially be left in such condition that it is at least sufficient to receive a certificate of occupancy for the Premises.  To the extent that Tenant elects to have Unfinished Space, (a) $105 per rentable square foot of the Unfinished Space of the Finish Work Allowance and Supplemental Allowance (allocated on a 50/50 basis between the Finish Work Allowance and Supplemental Allowance) shall be available only for use with the Unfinished Space (and therefore unavailable for application to the remainder of the Premises), but in any event subject to the Allowance Expiration Date in Section 2.02 of Exhibit 7.02, and (b) tenant improvements within the Unfinished Space shall be excluded from the Landlord Work and not deemed a condition to Substantial Completion.

 

At all times, Tenant will act promptly (and in any case within seven (7) business days following delivery of notice from Landlord unless expressly provided otherwise herein) on any construction-related questions or matters, including final color approvals and substitutions.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord plans and specifications for the Finish Work reasonably consistent with the Fit Plan and all plans and specifications then previously approved by Landlord, if any, for Landlord’s review and approval, pursuant to the Tenant Deadlines as set forth on Attachment 4.  If Tenant does not meet the Tenant Deadline for submission of final Construction Documents by the date set forth on Attachment 4, which such Tenant Deadline shall be subject to extension for Landlord Delay and events described in Section 20.14 (it being agreed that the time for Landlord performance of the Landlord Work shall be similarly extended on a day for day basis for each day that Tenant’s obligation to deliver the Construction Documents is extended on account of events described in Section 20.14), then, in addition to the right to claim Tenant Delay as further provided in Section 20.11 below:

-  5  -


 

 

(a)     if such delay exceeds 180 days, then (i) the Commencement Date shall be deemed to mean the date that is the later to occur of (X) January 20, 2020, or (Y) the date the Base Building Work is Substantially Complete (with the definition of Substantially Completed being revised for purposes of such determination by replacing the words “not interfere materially with occupancy by Tenant” with the words “not interfere materially with the construction of the Finish Work”, and taking an additional exception in the final parenthetical of such definition to the extent that Tenant’s lawful occupancy cannot be achieved due to the status of the Finish Work), (ii) the PRISA II Guaranty (as defined below) shall be of no further force and effect with respect to the obligation to complete Finish Work (but shall remain in effect with respect to the Base Building Work), and (iii) Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (to be deducted from the Finish Work Allowance as such work progresses), to perform only so much of such leasehold improvement work within the Premises as is necessary to obtain a certificate of occupancy for the Building on or before January 20, 2020; and

(b)  if such delay exceeds 270 days, then, in addition to the matters set forth in subparagraph (a) above, Landlord shall have no further obligation to complete the Finish Work and the Landlord Work shall be deemed to consist solely of the Base Building Work.

Tenant has or will retain Elkus Manfredi or another architect reasonably approved by Landlord as Tenant’s architect for the Finish Work.  Tenant’s architect and engineers will comply with the provisions of this Exhibit 7.02 and of Article 8 of the Lease, including without limitation the Tenant Deadlines.  Tenant’s architect will retain AHA Consulting Engineers, Landlord’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer, and, if necessary due to the nature of the Finish Work, retain McNamara Salvia, Inc., Landlord’s structural engineer, and shall retain such other engineers as are reasonably approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Even though such architects and engineers may have been otherwise engaged by Landlord in connection with the Building, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the liabilities and expenses of all architectural and engineering services relating to the Finish Work (subject to reimbursement from the Finish Work Allowance and, if applicable, the Supplemental Allowance) and for the adequacy and completeness of the plans and specifications submitted to Landlord by Tenant.  Tenant’s contract with Tenant’s architect (the “Architect’s Agreement”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Tenant shall not materially amend the Architect’s Agreement without Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The Architect’s Agreement shall at all times include provisions, and Tenant shall enforce the same, that (i) require Tenant’s architect to execute such certificates and consents as are customarily required by lenders providing construction financing, and regulatory authorities and (ii) give the Landlord and any lenders providing construction financing for the Finish Work the right to use the instruments of service under the Architect’s Agreement to the extent necessary to complete the construction of the Finish Work in accordance with the Work Letter.  Tenant shall cause Tenant’s architect to address any certifications that are required of Tenant’s architect under the Architect’s Agreement to Landlord in addition to Tenant as owner under the Architect’s Agreement.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right to communicate directly with Tenant’s architect as required for Landlord to perform Landlord’s obligations under this Work Letter with regard to the Finish Work, including without limitation to the extent that the Tenant’s architect is providing construction administration services for the Finish Work.  Tenant shall be responsible for causing the Tenant’s architect to perform the

-  6  -


 

 

Tenant’s architect’s obligations under the Architect’s Agreement with respect to construction phase services with regard for the Finish Work (including without limitation the obligation to act upon applications for payment by the Landlord’s general contractor).

 

Landlord shall review and approve, or disapprove by written notice in sufficient detail for Tenant to be able to reply, within ten (10) business days following delivery of any plans and specifications to Landlord by Tenant in accordance with the Tenant Deadlines, including without limitation the Construction Documents.  In accordance with such review of any such plans, Landlord shall identify any Finish Work requiring removal at the end of the term in accordance with, and subject to the provisions set forth in Section 8.01(b) of the Lease. Tenant’s Schematic Design Documents and any subsequently submitted plans and specifications must be consistent with the first class nature of the Building.  All approvals, inspections, and requirements of Landlord with respect to the Construction Documents or other plans and specifications, and Finish Work shall be for Landlord’s benefit only, may not be relied on by Tenant (other than for the purpose of evidencing that Landlord has approved same to the extent such approval is required under this Lease), and shall not affect Tenant’s responsibility for the same.

 

2.02.  Finish Work Allowance and Supplemental Allowance.

 

(a)        Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance for the costs (the “Allowance Costs”) of preparing the Premises for Tenant's initial occupancy (including the costs of constructing such Finish Work (the “Hard Costs”) and architectural and engineering fees incurred in the design of such Finish Work), Tenant’s outside legal fees incurred in connection with this Lease, Tenant’s third party expenses to move into the Premises and to the purchase and installation of data and telecommunications cabling, signage, equipment, trade fixtures and/or furniture in the Premises) in an amount not to exceed $15,400,000.00 (i.e. $70.00 per rentable square foot of the entire Premises initially leased hereunder) (the “Finish Work Allowance”), subject to increase for any credits obtained by Tenant pursuant to Section 1.01(b), above.  At least 80% of the Finish Work Allowance (the “Minimum Expenditure Threshold”) must be spent on Hard Costs for the Finish Work.  All construction and design costs for the Finish Work in excess of the Finish Work Allowance and, if applicable, the Supplemental Allowance, shall be paid for entirely by Tenant, and Landlord shall not provide any reimbursement or allowance therefore. In addition, Landlord has, prior to the date of this Lease, paid Tenant a test fit allowance in the amount of $22,000 towards the Tenant’s architect’s costs to design the plan shown on Attachment 3.

 

Tenant may, by written notice (the “Allowance Increase Notice”) given to Landlord no later than the date that is 30 days following the Effective Date, elect to obtain an additional allowance in the amount of up to $16,500,000.00 (i.e. $75.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the amount so elected by Tenant being referred to herein as the “Supplemental Allowance”). The Supplemental Allowance, if elected by Tenant, shall be utilized on the terms and conditions set forth herein with respect to the Finish Work Allowance, except that (a) the Supplemental Allowance shall be disbursed pari passu with any available amounts of Finish Work Allowance (e.g., $75 of each $145 drawn shall be attributed to the Supplemental Allowance), and (b) in no event shall Tenant have the right to apply any unused Supplemental Allowance against Rent payments.  If Tenant gives the Allowance Increase Notice, Tenant shall repay the

-  7  -


 

 

Supplemental Allowance to Landlord in equal monthly installments determined by amortizing the Supplemental Allowance over the initial term of the Lease, together with interest at 8% per annum (such monthly payments, the “Supplemental Rent”), on the first calendar day of each month commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and continuing thereafter during the remainder of the initial term of the Lease with Tenant’s regular payments of Base Rent (and the parties shall enter into an amendment to the Lease to confirm the same promptly following the giving of the Additional Allowance Notice). Tenant shall have the right to prepay the unamortized balance of the Supplemental Allowance at any time during the first three Lease Years by providing three months’ prior written notice to Landlord. Examples of the Supplemental Rent calculation and the prepayment calculation are attached as Attachment 5.

Pursuant to the schedule shown on Attachment 4, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the estimated guaranteed maximum price construction cost of the Finish Work (taking into account the Direct Costs, as described in Section 2.08, below) within 21 days following Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s complete Schematic Design Drawings to Landlord and again within 21 days following Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s complete Design Development Drawings. Upon completion of each of the Early Release/Long Lead Procurement Packages and the Building Permit Plans, Landlord shall then cause Landlord’s general contractor for the Building to solicit at least three bids (or such fewer number of bids as Landlord and Tenant may reasonably agree, if with respect to the Early Release/Long Lead Procurement Packages or any items, three bids is impracticable in light of the nature of the item and the Landlord’s construction schedule) for each trade agreed to be so bid between Landlord and Tenant prior to the time required pursuant to Attachment 4.  Landlord and Tenant shall determine the trades to be bid in accordance with the schedule shown on Attachment 4, and, if they are unable to reach agreement on the identity of such trades, shall submit such dispute to resolution by arbitration pursuant to Section 2.13, below.  Tenant may designate at least one subcontractor for each trade for inclusion in the bidding, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of such bidders.  Landlord shall promptly supply Tenant with such detailed information about bid requests and negotiations with contractors as Tenant may reasonably request, provided that any delays resulting from Tenant’s failure to act within five (5) business days following Landlord’s delivery of such information to Tenant shall constitute a Tenant Delay.  In the case of each bid request, Landlord will accept the lowest responsible bid from a contractor that can meet the Construction Schedule, unless Landlord and Tenant reasonably determine otherwise.

 

Landlord shall notify Tenant of the final guaranteed maximum price construction cost of the Finish Work, which notice shall set forth on a detailed line item basis the elements of such cost, including, without limitation, the contractor's fee of three and one-quarter (3.25%) percent, general conditions costs, the contractor's contingency, and a contractor’s fee of three and one-quarter (3.25%) percent for change orders, as determined under Section 2.08 (the “Base Price”), to be calculated based on the final, approved Construction  Documents promptly upon receipt from the general contractor.  Tenant shall have ten (10) business days following Landlord’s delivery of the Base Price to Tenant to propose any initial Finish Work Change Orders that Tenant may reasonably determine are necessary to keep the cost of the Finish Work within Tenant’s budget.  Tenant shall have five (5) business days to respond to Landlord’s price estimates on Tenant’s Early Release/Long Lead Procurement Packages, and any other specialty or long lead item submitted to Landlord by Tenant.  Costs of Building services or facilities (such as electricity, HVAC, and

-  8  -


 

 

cleaning) actually required to implement the Finish Work and other variable costs to the extent required to be paid by Tenant under the Lease (such as for review, inspection, and testing) shall, to the extent not reasonably ascertainable as of the time Landlord notifies Tenant of the Base Price as provided above and included therein, thereafter be added to the Base Price (as adjusted for Finish Work Change Orders). To the extent that any of such services are provided to the Base Building Work and Finish Work in a manner that cannot reasonably be segregated (e.g. where there are not separate utility meters), the cost of such services shall be equitably allocated between the Base Building Work and the Finish Work.  In the event that the total price of such Finish Work (as determined under Section 2.08), as the same may be reasonably estimated by Landlord, exceeds the Finish Work Allowance and Supplemental Allowance elected by Tenant, if any, then Tenant shall pay its pro-rata share of the costs to construct such Finish Work (based on the ratio of the costs of Excess Finish Work, as defined below, to the estimated total cost of such Finish Work as reasonably estimated by Landlord and documented to Tenant to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction) with each requisition by the general contractor.

 

(b)        Commencing no earlier than the date Landlord obtains a building permit for the Landlord Work, Landlord shall disburse funds to Tenant for Allowance Costs incurred by Tenant within forty-five (45) days of Tenant’s request (which request may not be made more than once per month) if such request is submitted at least five (5) business days prior to the day on which Landlord is to submit its monthly requisition for loan disbursement to its construction lender if the following conditions have been fully satisfied:  (a) no Event of Default then exists and; (b) Landlord shall have no reason to believe that any work for which payment is requisitioned has not been properly completed and (c) Tenant shall have complied with any other reasonable requirements of Landlord’s construction lender for disbursement of Allowance Costs that are comparable to requirements applicable to disbursements of funds for Base Building Work (but excluding requirements that are clearly inapplicable to Tenant or the work to which such Allowance Costs relate, such as a requirement that there be no borrower default under the loan documents).  Requests for disbursement of the Finish Work Allowance and Supplemental Allowance that are not timely submitted or for which any of the conditions to payment of the Finish Work Allowance or Supplemental Allowance, as applicable, have not been satisfied, shall be included in Landlord’s next construction loan requisition and paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days following submission of the same to Landlord’s construction lender, provided that the conditions to payment are then satisfied.  Requests for disbursement of the Finish Work Allowance and Supplemental Allowance for which any of the conditions to payment of the Finish Work Allowance or  Supplemental Allowance, as applicable, have not be satisfied with respect to a particular aspect of design of the Finish Work shall be funded to the extent that such requests otherwise comply with the conditions to payment and to the extent that Landlord’s construction lender actually funds comparable partially incomplete requisitions for Base Building Work.

 

If Landlord fails timely to pay any portion of the Finish Work Allowance or Supplemental Allowance to Tenant when due, then until such past due amount is paid or recouped hereunder it shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, and Tenant shall have the right to deduct any such past due amount, together with interest, from the next installment(s) of (a) Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes (with respect to the Finish Work Allowance) and (b) Supplemental Rent with respect to the Supplemental Allowance due under this Lease until Tenant has received full credit or otherwise has been fully reimbursed for

-  9  -


 

 

the amount due to Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord disputes Tenant’s right to abate Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant’s Share of Taxes, or Supplemental Allowance, or the amount of the abatement, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.13 of this Exhibit 7.02 prior to any abatement of disputed amounts by Tenant (and, if such dispute is resolved in favor of Tenant, then Landlord shall pay Tenant interest on any amounts so abated at the Default Rate).

 

Tenant’s right to receive the Finish Work Allowance and, if applicable Supplemental Allowance, shall expire and be of no further force and effect as of the date (the “Allowance Expiration Date”) that is 36 months following the Commencement Date (other than to the extent of amounts properly requisitioned prior to such date). Provided that (i) no Event of Default then exists, (ii) an amount of the Finish Work Allowance at least equal to the Minimum Expenditure Threshold has been spent on Hard Costs for the Finish Work and Tenant has paid for all Excess Finish Work (as reasonably evidenced to Landlord), and (iii) Finish Work or Tenant Work necessary for the occupancy of the entire Premises (other than Unfinished Space to the extent provided in Section 2.01 above) has been completed, any portion of the Finish Work Allowance that has not yet been requisitioned shall be credited against the next Rent payments due hereunder as and when directed by Tenant but in any event no later than the Allowance Expiration Date. Any Supplemental Allowance not utilized by the Allowance Expiration Date shall be retained by Landlord, Tenant shall have no further right to the same, and the Supplemental Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly as evidenced by a mutually satisfactory amendment to this Lease.

 

2.03.  Construction of Finish Work, Generally. Finish Work shall be constructed by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement from the Finish Work Allowance and Supplemental Allowance to the extent applicable) in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Work Letter.  Landlord shall not be responsible for any aspects of the design of Finish Work.  Landlord shall not charge any supervisory or management fees with respect to the Finish
