In computing the Rentable Area of the Premises and the Rentable Area of the Building, no deduction will be made for columns and projections necessary for the structural integrity of the Building and the agreed upon measurements provided to Landlord by both Tenant’s and Landlord’s architects will be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Landlord’s and Tenant’s architects will each submit their initial measurements to the other no later than 30 days after the First Phase Rent Commencement Date. Landlord’s architect and Tenant’s architect will then work together in good faith to resolve and agree on any discrepancies between their measurements no later than 5 business days after the last to submit its measurements to the other architect. In the event that (a) there is a discrepancy between the measurements made by Landlord’s architect and Tenant’s architect and (b) Landlord and Tenant cannot after good faith efforts resolve the dispute, the parties will appoint a third, independent, licensed architect under the laws of the State of New Jersey (with not less than 7 years of experience with office space design) whose determination as to the RSF of the Premises (that will be computed in accordance with this Section 1.3) will be conclusive and binding, and whose fees will be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, that if the parties cannot agree on the third architect, either party may seek the appointment of the aforementioned independent, licensed architect by a court of competent jurisdiction in Monmouth County, NJ.

By way of example and not of limitation, in Year 4 the Base Operating Expense are $10.93 per RSF (as per Schedule “B”), (i) if the actual Base Operating Expenses in Year 4 are $10.98 per RSF and the escalation is due to increase in janitorial services (a controllable expense), Landlord will not pass thru the increase to Tenant, (ii) if the escalation is due to increase in utilities (an Uncontrollable Cost), Landlord will pass thru the $0.05 per RSF increase to Tenant, and (iii) if the actual Base Operating Expenses in Year 4 are $10.90 per RSF and there is an increase in utilities, Landlord will not pass thru the increase cost of utilities to Tenant. Tenant will pay Landlord any sums due pursuant to this Section 4.2 as Additional Rent within 30 days of Landlord’s demand therefor. Landlord and Tenant agree that the first calendar year for which Tenant is obligated to pay increases above Base Operating Expenses as set forth in this Section 4.2 will be pro-rated as may be required to reflect the intention of the parties that Tenant will not be obligated to pay for increases in Operating Expenses during the 12 calendar month period following the First Phase Rent Commencement Date. By way of example, if the First Phase Rent Commencement Date is July 1, 2017, Tenant’s obligation to pay for increases in Operating Expenses as set forth in this Section 4.2 will commence on July 1, 2018.

(A) Intentionally omitted.

(B) Intentionally omitted.

(C) Tax Escalation—A portion of the Fixed Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease includes an allocation for Taxes. The Township of Holmdel (“Township”) has approved a long term tax exemption pursuant to the Long Term Tax Exemption Law, N.J.S.A. 40A:20-l et seq for the Building, whereby in accordance with that certain June 17, 2014 Financial Agreement (“Agreement”) by and between Township and Landlord, Township will accept an annual service charge, which charge includes an administrative fee, in lieu of real property taxes paid by Landlord to Township. For such period of time during the Term in which the Agreement is in effect, Tenant will pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount (“Tax Charge”) equal to difference between Tenant’s annual service charge (“Tenant’s ASC”) (as defined in Section 4.2(C)2 of this Lease) per RSF and the Base Tax (as defined in Section 4.2(C)(1) of this Lease) per RSF, the result of which will be multiplied by the RSF of the Premises, pro-rated for each Calendar Year, as may be applicable, to account for the delivery of the Premises in Phases in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. In no event will the Tax Charge be less than the Base Tax. The Tax Charge will be billed quarterly by Landlord. A copy of Tenant’s tax projections is attached as Exhibit “D”; however, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in the event that (i) the RSF of any of Phase is determined after the final measurement of such Phase (performed in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Lease) to be different from the amount of RSF attributable to such Phase in this Lease, i.e., First Phase—198,529 RSF; Second Phase—71,923 RSF; and Third Phase—71,923 RSF, or (ii) the Rent Commencement Date of any Phase is a date other than what is anticipated in this Lease, i.e., First Phase—July 1, 2017; Second Phase—April 1, 2018; and Third Phase—October 1, 2019, Exhibit “D” will be revised accordingly and the Parties will sign an amendment to this Lease memorializing Tenant’s revised tax projections.

  1.

“Base Tax” means the amount equal to the product of the annual Fixed Rent per RSF payable by Tenant under this Lease for calendar year 2017 (adjusted proportionately for periods less than a calendar year and excluding any “free-rent” or “rent credit” provided by Landlord) multiplied by initial PILOT Rate under the Agreement, i.e., 10.25%.

 

  2.

“Tenant’s ASC” means the amount equal to the product of the annual Fixed Rent per RSF payable by Tenant under this Lease for each calendar year during the Term subsequent to the calendar year in which Delivery of Possession occurs (anticipated to be 2017) multiplied by the PILOT Rate pursuant to the Agreement for the year in question.

For such period of time during the Term in which the Agreement is not in effect, if the Taxes for the Real Property for any calendar year or partial calendar year, during the Term are greater than the Taxes for the year subsequent to the calendar year in which Delivery of Possession occurs (anticipated to be 2017 Taxes) (adjusted proportionately for periods less than a calendar year), then Tenant will pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of all such excess Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible for any increase in Taxes solely due to a future sale or transfer of the Premises or the Building. As more particularly set forth in Section 4,2, Base Operating Expenses are fixed at $10.00 per RSF and Tenant will not be obligated to pay for increases in Operating Expenses during the 12 calendar month period following the First Phase Rent Commencement Date.

(D) Intentionally omitted.

4.3. During the Term, Landlord will maintain books of account which will be open to Tenant and its representatives at all reasonable times so that Tenant can determine that such Uncontrollable Costs have, in fact, been paid or incurred; provided, however, that Tenant will not be permitted to perform any such inspection and/or audit more than 1 time in any rolling 12 calendar month period. Tenant’s representatives mean only (i) Tenant’s employees or (ii) a Certified Public Accounting firm, and neither Tenant’s employees nor any Certified Public Accounting firm will be permitted to perform such inspection and/or audit on a contingency basis. At Landlord’s request, Tenant and Tenant’s Certified Public Accounting firm will execute a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord prior to any examination of Landlord’s books and records. If Tenant disputes any one or more of such charges, Tenant will attempt to resolve such dispute with Landlord, provided that if such dispute is not satisfactorily settled between Landlord and Tenant within 30 days, then upon request of either party, the dispute will be referred to an independent certified public accountant to be mutually agreed upon to arbitrate the dispute, and if such an accountant cannot be agreed upon, the American Arbitration Association may be asked by either party to select an arbitrator, whose decision on

 

9


the dispute will be final and binding upon both parties, which will jointly share any cost of such arbitration. If it is determined that Tenant has overpaid or underpaid, as may be applicable, by more than 3% of Tenant’s Share of Uncontrollable Costs, Landlord will pay Tenant’s actual and reasonable costs for such audit; provided, however, that in no event will Landlord be obligated pay Tenant more than $2,500.00 for such audit. Pending resolution of the dispute, Tenant will pay to Landlord the sum so billed by Landlord, subject to its ultimate resolution as set forth above. The arbitration mechanism set forth above will be the sole process available to resolve such disputes.

4.4. Tenant may dispute any such charge under this Article 4 for a period of 12 months after such charge is billed to Tenant, and Tenant specifically waives any right to dispute any such charge any time after the expiration of the 12 month period.

ARTICLE 5. LANDLORD’S GENERAL SERVICES

5.1. So long as this Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant has paid all Fixed Rent and all undisputed amounts of Additional Rent then due, Landlord will furnish the following services:

(A) heat and air-conditioning in the Premises, Monday through Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Saturday, from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M., excluding National Holidays (as defined in Section 5.1(C) of this Lease, as necessary in Landlord’s reasonable judgment for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises under normal business operations, subject to compliance with all applicable mandatory laws and provided that Tenant’s use of heat generating machines or equipment does not exceed the limits established by Landlord and provided that the Tenant’s occupancy or electrical load does not exceed the Building standards thereby affecting the temperature otherwise maintained by the air-cooling system; provided, however, the Premises will have an HVAC in accordance with the standard set forth on Exhibit “B-2”. If the HVAC standards set forth on Exhibit “B-2” are not met, Tenant will provide Landlord with written notice of such failure (which notice will include a description of Tenant’s complaint in sufficient detail for Landlord to ascertain the alleged problem). If Landlord fails to undertake any repairs or replacements to be made to the HVAC system components which are Landlord’s responsibility pursuant to this Lease within 10 days of Tenant’s written notice to Landlord, provided that, in the case of a failure which for causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control cannot with due diligence be cured within such 10- day period, such 10 day period will be extended for such period as may be necessary to cure such failure provided that Landlord is diligently prosecuting such cure; then at Tenant’s election, Tenant may take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to cure such failure, provided the performance of such obligation by Tenant does not adversely affect the structure, electrical, HVAC, plumbing or mechanical systems of the Building. Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in performing same within 30 days after receipt by Landlord of a written statement from Tenant as to the amount of such costs. If Tenant exercises its self-help in accordance with this provision and Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant within such 30 day period, then Tenant may set-off or deduct against Fixed Rent the amounts reasonably and actually expended by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided that Tenant’s

 

10


right to set off or deduct from any given monthly installment of Fixed Rent hereunder will be limited to 25% of such monthly installment of Fixed Rent. For purposes hereof, Landlord will be deemed to have commenced to cure a failure if Landlord has begun to take such action as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, e.g.. inspecting the situation, calling necessary contractors, etc., even though actual repairs may not have commenced. In exercising its self-help in accordance with this provision Tenant agrees that (i) Tenant will use only those contractors then on the approved list of contractors for the Building as such list may be furnished from time to time during the Term by Landlord to Tenant, provided that such contractors respond to Tenant’s request within a commercially reasonable time, (ii) Tenant will indemnify, defend, pay on behalf of and hold harmless Landlord and its respective partners, joint venturers, directors, officers, invitees, agents, servants and employees from and against any loss, damage, liability, cost, claim or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered by any third party arising from or in connection with Tenant’s negligence or willful misconduct in the exercise of such self-help remedies under Section 5.1(A), and (iii) Tenant will be liable to Landlord for any willful misconduct arising from Tenant’s exercise of its self-help remedies under this Section 5.1(A). In no event will Tenant have any rights under this Section 5.1(A), if the failure of Landlord to perform was caused by Force Majeure or any act, omission, negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of its contractors, agents, employees, servants, licensees or invitees or if Tenant is in Default under this Lease.

(B) tempered and cold water for use in lavatories in common with other tenants from the regular supply of the Building. Tenant will pay Landlord at rates fixed by Landlord (not to exceed Landlord’s cost), charges for all water furnished to the Premises for other purposes if, based on a survey conducted by Landlord and/or Landlord’s consultant Landlord determines that Tenant’s use of water is disproportionate to the water use of other tenants in the Building;

(C) customary cleaning and janitorial services in the Premises Monday through Friday, excluding New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day and other holidays designated by the Federal Government from time to time (“National Holidays”), in accordance with the specifications attached to this Lease as Exhibit “E”; and

(D) access to the Premises 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.

5.2. During the Term, Landlord will provide security for the Building substantially as depicted on Exhibit “Q”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, except in the event of Landlord’s willful misconduct, Landlord will not be liable for, and Landlord is hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage either to person or property (specifically including any damage or injury resulting from a criminal or terrorist attack) sustained by Tenant incurred in connection with or arising from any acts or omissions of such access control personnel or services. Subject to Article 8 and Article 11 of this Lease, Tenant may, at its own expense, install its own access/security system (“Tenant’s Security System”) in the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant will coordinate the installation and operation of

 

11


Tenant’s Security System with Landlord to assure that Tenant’s Security System is compatible with Landlord’s access control services and the Building systems and to the extent that Tenant’s Security System is not compatible with Landlord’s access control services and the Building systems, as Landlord determines in its sole discretion, Tenant will not be entitled to install or operate Tenant’s Security System. Tenant will be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the monitoring, maintenance, operation, and removal of Tenant’s Security System.

5.3. Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, for electricity service usage by Tenant in the Premises including, but not limited to, lighting, electric appliances, adding machines, computers or other office equipment. Landlord, at its cost, will install, meter(s) or submeter(s), as applicable, to measure consumption of electricity at the Premises. Bills will be rendered from time to time in accordance with this provision and the amount will be due and payable at the same time as the next following monthly installment of Fixed Rent. The cost of such electricity will be calculated by Landlord and billed to Tenant at the same cost as Landlord is charged for such electrical service by the utility or supplier providing such electricity. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current will never exceed the capacity of existing feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installation. Any riser or risers to supply Tenant’s electrical requirements, upon written request of Tenant, will be installed by Landlord, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, the same are necessary and will not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or Premises, or cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense or interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants. Tenant also agrees to purchase from Landlord or its agents at competitive prices fixed by Landlord for all tenants in the Building all lamps, bulbs, ballasts and starters used in the Premises. Tenant will make no alterations or additions to the electric equipment or systems without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. There is currently available to the Premises 5.5 watts per RSF foot for Tenant’s utilization (excluding building standard HVAC service and lighting). Notwithstanding the foregoing, while Tenant and Landlord understand and agree that 5.5 watts per RSF of electric service (excluding building standard HVAC service and lighting) is adequate for Tenant’s anticipated use of the Premises provided that the Delivery of Possession of each phase of the Premises occurs timely in accordance with the terms of this Lease (as may be extended due to Tenant Delay, Force Majeure, damage by fire or other casualty, or eminent domain), and further provided that notwithstanding any Landlord delay, no Landlord delay will be deemed to have occurred if Delivery of Possession occurs timely in accordance with the terms of this Lease (subject to extension as aforesaid), Landlord agrees that Landlord will provide for any additionally required electric service at Landlord’s sole cost and expense and that Tenant will not be responsible for any costs to bring in more electrical power to the Premises to the extent Tenant’s use exceeds 5.5 watts per RSF, in the event such additional electric supply requirement of Tenant is solely due to Landlord’s delay (exclusive of any delay resulting from a Tenant Delay, Force Majeure, damage by fire or other casualty, or eminent domain) in Delivery of Possession of any phase of the Premises to Tenant.

5.4. At Tenant’s request, Landlord will furnish additional quantities of any of the services or utilities specified in Section 5.1, if Landlord can reasonably do so, on the terms set forth herein. Tenant will deliver to Landlord a written request for such additional services or utilities prior to 2:00 P.M. on Monday through Friday (except National Holidays) for service on those days, and prior to 2:00 P.M. on the last business day prior to Saturday, Sunday or a

 

12


National Holiday. For additional services or utilities requested by Tenant and furnished by Landlord, Tenant will pay to Landlord as a charge therefor Landlord’s prevailing published rates for such services and utilities (notwithstanding the provisions of this sentence the charge for additional HVAC service will be $100.00 per hour per floor (or any portion thereof)), subject, however, to adjustment for any increases in utility rates that may occur from time to time. If Tenant fails to make any such payment, Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant and in addition to Landlord’s other remedies under this Lease, discontinue any or all of the additional services. In addition, at Tenant’s request, provided such capacity is available, Landlord will furnish additional cooling or condenser capacity for Tenant’s non-exclusive use, if either capacity is available in the Building. Landlord makes no warranty or representation that such cooling or condenser capacity is or will be available during the Term.

5.5. Except as to Landlord’s Work as related to Tenant’s initial occupancy of the Premises, all telephone and electric connections which Tenant desires must first be reasonably approved by Landlord in writing, before the same are installed, and the location of all wires and the work in connection therewith will be performed by contractors reasonably approved by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to restrict and control access to telephone cabinets. Tenant will be responsible for and will pay all costs incurred in connection with the installation of Tenant’s telephone cables and related wiring in the Premises, including, without limitation, any hook-up, access and maintenance fees related to the installation of such wires and cables in the Premises and the commencement of service therein, and the maintenance thereafter of such wire and cables; and there will be included in Operating Expenses for the Building all installation, hookup or maintenance costs incurred by Landlord in connection with telephone cables and related wiring in the Building which are not allocable to any individual users of such service but are allocable to the Building generally. If Tenant fails to maintain all telephone cables and related wiring in the Premises and such failure affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other telephone cables or related wiring in the Building, Landlord or any vendor hired by Landlord may enter into and upon the Premises, after reasonable prior notice (except in the case of an emergency when no notice will be required) and perform such repairs, restorations or alterations as Landlord deems necessary in order to eliminate any such interference (and Landlord may recover from Tenant all of Landlord’s costs in connection therewith). Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees will be liable to Tenant, or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, customers or invitees or anyone claiming through, by or under Tenant, for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, claims or causes of action because of any interruption, diminution, delay or discontinuance at any time for any reason in the furnishing of any telephone service to the Premises and the Building.

5.6. Tenant agrees that Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for damages or otherwise, for any failure to furnish, or a delay in furnishing, any service when such failure or delay is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, improvements or mechanical breakdowns, by the act or default of Tenant or by an event of Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined) provided; however, that if any essential service to the Premises or Building renders the Premises unusable for Tenant to conduct its business for more than 3 consecutive business days and such interruption is due to the acts or omissions of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, commencing on the third consecutive business day, Tenant will receive an abatement of Fixed Rent otherwise due and payable under this Lease until the date that such essential service is restored. No such failure or delay will be deemed to be an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, or relieve Tenant from performing any other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. In no event will Landlord be liable to Tenant for any consequential damages. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business from the Premises.

 

13


(A) As used in this Lease, “Force Majeure” means any casualty, act of God, war or civil commotion, strike or labor troubles, or any cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of a Party, it’s agents, contractors, subcontractors (provided that a failure by a party’s agents, contractors or subcontractors other than contractors and subcontractors selected and approved by Tenant performing any of Tenant’s Work will not be deemed Force Majeure, unless such party has experienced an event beyond its reasonable control) and/or employees, including, but not limited to, energy shortages or governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency, or by reason of government laws or any rule, order or regulation of any department or subdivision thereof or any governmental agency, or by reason of the conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war or other emergency, but specifically excluding any and all governmental approvals required to construct or for Tenant to operate in the Premises (other than any approvals required from the National Park Service); however, Force Majeure will not operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of Rent when and as due under any provision of this Lease.

5.7. Landlord will implement a Building-wide Cellular Distributed Antenna System that the major cellular phone carriers will utilize to provide their coverage. Verizon has contracted with Landlord to install an antenna on the Land which will provide coverage for Verizon’s subscribers in the Building. Additionally, as of the Effective Date, Landlord is also working to implement cellular services from AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint.

5.8. From and after the Occupancy Date (as defined in Section 26.2 of this Lease) until such time as the Concourse Level Floor Space is substantially complete and delivered to Tenant, Tenant will be permitted to use the temporary conference rooms shown on Exhibit “S” attached hereto and made a part of this Lease and when completed Concourse Level conference center, the approximate locations of which are as generally shown on Exhibit “T”, all at no cost (rental fee, A/V etc). Subject to Force Majeure and damage and destruction, Landlord agrees to substantially complete (including furniture and audio/visual) the Concourse Level conference center on or before the First Phase Rent Commencement Date.

ARTICLE 6. USE OF PREMISES

6.1. Tenant will occupy and use the Premises only for general office use and no other purpose. Tenant will not occupy or use the Premises (or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises) for any purpose or in any manner which:

(A) is unlawful or in violation of any laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and other requirements currently existing and/or adopted by any governmental body, or agency or department having jurisdiction over the Project, the Premises or Landlord’s or Tenant’s activities at the Premises and/or the Project and any covenants, conditions or restrictions of record which affect the Project (individually, a “Law” and collectively the “Laws”);

 

14


(B) may be dangerous to persons or property or which may increase the cost of, or invalidate, any policy of insurance carried on the Building or covering its operations;

(C) is contrary to or prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Lease or the rules of the Building as may be promulgated by Landlord from time to time during the Term;

(D) permits amplifying communications signals used or operated as a part of a telecommunications network or global positioning system, or otherwise emitting or receiving signals, frequencies, video, data or voice communications, including, without limitation, any dish, panel, antenna, satellite, “Wi-Fi”, or cellular communications equipment, amplifiers, or other similar devices or equipment which transmits or receives signals into or from the Common Area from the Premises or which otherwise interferes with the operation of any other transmission or receiving device at the Building; provided, however, that subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Tenant may install 1 or more signal enhancers for cellular service in the Premises but in no event will any such signal enhancer interfere with any existing wireless communications

(E) permits the operation of any electronic devices through the use of Landlord’s public wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network or

(F) would tend to create or continue a nuisance.

6.2. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.) and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively the “ADA”) establish requirements for business operations, accessibility and barrier removal, and that such requirements may or may not apply to the Premises and the Building depending on, among other things: (1) whether Tenant’s business is deemed a “public accommodation” or “commercial facility”, (2) whether such requirements are “readily achievable”, and (3) whether a given alteration affects a “primary function area” or triggers “path of travel” requirements. The Parties hereby agree that: (a) Landlord will be responsible for ADA Title III compliance as of the date of this Lease, and also throughout this Lease as to the Common Areas (and the costs of such work will be amortized over its useful life and included in Operating Expenses), except as provided below, and in connection with the completion of Landlord’s Work, (b) Tenant will be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Premises for all work other than Landlord’s Work to be performed in the Premises under or in connection with this Lease, (c) Landlord may perform, or require that Tenant perform, and Tenant will be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III “path of travel” requirements triggered by alterations in the Premises following Delivery of Possession, and (d) Landlord may perform, or require Tenant to perform, and Tenant will be responsible for the cost of ADA Title III compliance in the Common Areas necessitated by the Building being deemed to be a “public accommodation” instead of a “commercial facility” as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant will be solely responsible for requirements under Title I of the ADA relating to Tenant’s employees. As of the Rent Commencement Date for each Phase, the applicable Phase will be in compliance with ADA Title III and all other applicable laws relating thereto.

 

15


6.3. Tenant will permit Landlord to erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts, wiring and conduits in and through the Premises, so long as Tenant’s use, layout or design of the Premises is not materially affected or altered. Landlord or Landlord’s agents will have the right to enter upon the Premises in the event of an emergency, or to inspect the Premises, to perform janitorial and other services, to conduct safety and other testing in the Premises and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or the Building as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable upon not less than 24 hours’ prior notice to Tenant (unless an emergency exists in which event no prior notice will be required). Any entry or work by Landlord may be during normal business hours upon 24 hours’ prior notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency with respect to which any entry or work may be done at any time) and Landlord will use reasonable efforts to see that any entry or work will not materially interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid seeking out ANY Tenant confidential information (as such term is defined at www.icims.com/gc as of the Effective Date) when access to the Premises by Landlord, Landlord’s agents, or both, is permitted in accordance with the terms of this Lease and Landlord, Landlord’s agents, or both, to the extent reasonably practicable, will be accompanied by an agent or employee of Tenant when entering the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Landlord agrees that prior to accessing the Premises, Landlord and Landlord’s agents, e.g., third party vendors, will enter into confidentiality agreements on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord with regard such confidentiality agreements.

6.4. So long as Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease, Tenant will have the right to quiet enjoyment of the Premises without hindrance or interference from Landlord or those claiming through Landlord and subject to the rights of any mortgagee or ground lessor.

6.5. Tenant will comply with and execute at its own expense during and throughout the term of this Lease, all Laws, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, concerning the Premises, its occupancy or use thereof, or its physical condition.

6.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant will be responsible, at Tenant’s expense, for obtaining any and all licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals which may be required by any Law to be obtained for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises, exclusive of a certificate of occupancy (or local equivalent) required for Tenant’s initial occupancy of the Premises, which certificate of occupancy will be the responsibility of Landlord to obtain at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.

6.7. During the Term the Building will not be used for senior citizen housing, assisted living facilities, or nursing home, or any other similar type uses unless Landlord is required by any governmental body, or agency or department having jurisdiction over the Project to provide such uses in the Building; however, if such uses are provided in the Building during the Term, such uses will only be located in “building 1” and in the half of “building 4” that is farthest from Tenant’s Premises and such uses will be designed so to prevent any interference with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises and Common Areas; provided, however, that if Tenant using

 

16


its commercially reasonable judgment, in good faith determines that any of the uses set forth in this Section 6.7 diminishes the value of Tenant’s leasehold estate, Tenant, upon providing written notice to Landlord of such diminution, will be provided with a reduction of Fixed Rent in the amount of $1.00 per RSF for such time as any of the uses set forth in this Section 6.7 are located in “building 1” and the aforementioned portion of “building 4” provided that in no event will the maximum aggregate Fixed Rent reduction provided to Tenant pursuant to this Section 6.7 exceed $3,000,000.

ARTICLE 7. MAINTENANCE

7.1. Subject to the provisions of Article 13 of this Lease, Landlord will maintain and make necessary repairs to the foundations, roofs, exterior walls, and the structural elements of the Building, the electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems of the Building located inside and outside of the Premises and the public corridors, washrooms and lobby of the Building, except that:

(A) Landlord will not be responsible for the maintenance or repair of any floor or wall coverings in the Premises or any of such systems, set forth above, which are located within the Premises, unless such systems or portions thereof are utilized by Landlord for servicing other portions of the Project outside of the Premises; and

(B) the cost of performing any of said maintenance or repairs whether to the Premises or to the Building caused by the negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, licensees, subtenants, contractors or invitees, will be paid by Tenant.

7.2. Tenant, at its expense, will keep and maintain the interior of the Premises in good order, condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear and damage caused by fire or other casualty and not the fault of Tenant or its agents, invitees, licensees, employees or representatives excepted) and in accordance with all Laws. Any repairs or maintenance will be completed with materials of similar quality to the original materials, all such work to be completed under the supervision of Landlord. Any such repairs or maintenance will be performed only by contractors or mechanics reasonably approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and whose work will not cause or threaten to cause disharmony or interference with Landlord or other tenants in the Building and their respective agents and contractors performing work in or about the Building. If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Section 7.2, Landlord may, in its sole discretion and upon 5 business days prior written notice to Tenant (except in the case of emergencies in which event no notice is required or in the event of any actual or threatened disharmony or interference, in which event on not 24 hours prior notice), perform the same, and Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, any actual and reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Landlord within 30 days after demand.

 

17


ARTICLE 8. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

8.1. Tenant will not, except as provided herein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, make or cause to be made any alterations (“Alterations”) in or to the Premises or any Building systems serving the Premises except that Tenant may, without the requirement of Landlord’s prior approval make such minor alterations costing less than $100,000 in the aggregate (“Decorations”) to the Premises which do not require a building permit and which do not affect any Building systems serving the Premises. Prior to making any Alterations, Tenant will give Landlord 10 days’ prior written notice (or such earlier notice as would be necessary pursuant to applicable Law) to permit Landlord sufficient time to post appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant will furnish Landlord with the names and addresses of all contractors and subcontractors and copies of all contracts. All Alterations will be completed at such time and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate, and only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, and whose work will not cause or threaten to cause disharmony or interference with Landlord or other tenants in the Building and their respective agents and contractors performing work in or about the Building. Landlord may further condition its consent upon Tenant furnishing to Landlord and Landlord approving prior to the commencement of any work or delivery of materials to the Premises related to the Alterations such of the following as specified by Landlord: architectural plans and specifications, opinions from engineers reasonably acceptable to Landlord stating that the Alterations will not in any way adversely affect the Building’s systems, including, without limitation, the mechanical, heating, plumbing, security, ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical, and the fire and life safety systems in the Building, necessary permits and licenses, certificates of insurance, and such other documents in such form reasonably requested by Landlord. Landlord may, in the exercise of reasonable judgment, request that Tenant provide Landlord with appropriate and reasonable evidence of Tenant’s ability to complete and pay for the completion of the Alterations such as a performance bond or letter of credit if Tenant’s own financial resources are reasonably deemed inadequate by Landlord. Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a digitized set of plans and specifications for the Alterations.

8.2. Tenant will pay the cost of all Alterations and the cost of decorating the Premises and any work to the Building occasioned thereby. In connection with completion of any Alterations, other than Decorations, Tenant will pay Landlord a supervision fee and design review fee at Landlord’s then standard reasonable rates which will not exceed 3% of the cost of the Alterations. Upon completion of Alterations, Tenant will furnish Landlord with contractors’ affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used in connection therewith and such other documentation reasonably requested by Landlord or its mortgagee.

8.3. Tenant agrees to complete all Alterations (i) in accordance with all Laws, all requirements of applicable insurance companies, and in accordance with Landlord’s standard construction rules and regulations, and (ii) in a good and workmanlike manner with the use of good grades of materials. Tenant will notify Landlord immediately if Tenant receives any notice of violation of any Law in connection with completion of any Alterations and will immediately take such steps as are necessary to remedy such violation. In no event will such supervision or right to supervise by Landlord nor will any approvals given by Landlord under this Lease constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of such work or materials for Tenant’s intended use, or of compliance with the requirements of this Section 8.3 (i) and (ii) above, or impose any liability upon Landlord in connection with the performance of such work.

8.4. Landlord, at the time it gives its consent to the installation of an Alteration will have the right to elect that Tenant remove from the Premises at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease any Alteration made to, or installed by Tenant in, the Premises or the Building, as determined by Landlord it its sole discretion. In the event Landlord does not require the removal of such Alteration at the time it gives its initial consent to such Alteration, Tenant will not be required to thereafter remove such Alteration at the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing at the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant will remove its Decorations, personal property, equipment and trade fixtures from the Premises.

8.5. Tenant will not permit any lien or claim for lien of any mechanic, laborer or supplier or any other lien to be filed against the Building, the Land, the Premises, or any part thereof arising out of work performed, or alleged to have been performed by, or at the direction of, or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien or claim for lien is filed, Tenant will within 30 days (or 10 days, if necessary, to avoid interference in Landlord’s consummating a transaction involving the Building) of receiving notice of such lien or claim (i) have such lien or claim for lien released of record or (ii) deliver to Landlord a bond in form, content, amount, and issued by surety, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying, protecting, defending and holding harmless the Indemnitees against all costs and liabilities resulting from such lien or claim for lien and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to take any of the above actions, Landlord, without investigating the validity of such lien or claim for lien, may pay or discharge the same and Tenant will, as Additional Rent, reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord’s reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

ARTICLE 9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

9.1. Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant’s interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant will deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information reasonably sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least 30 days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. If Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of the Premises, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant must have appropriate ingress and egress, as reasonably determined by Landlord and otherwise in compliance with all Laws. Landlord will notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 9.5 of this Lease within 15 days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign this Lease to any other tenant of the Building and/or to any person or entity that Landlord has submitted a formal proposal to lease space in the Building during the 6 month period immediately prior to Tenant’s Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent is not required (and the provisions of

 

19


Sections 9.5 and 9.6 of this Lease will not apply) with respect to any assignment of this Lease to any successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or purchase of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or to any assignment described in Section 9.4 of this Lease (but only provided that at the time of such assignment [and after taking into effect consummation of the transaction constituting the assignment] Tenant’s sublessor or purchaser has a net worth (on a consolidated basis) at least equal to the greater of Tenant’s net worth at the date of this Lease or Tenant’s net worth just prior to such merger, consolidation or purchase, and is engaged in the regular conduct of business operations), or to any of Tenant’s wholly owned subsidiaries or to an Affiliate (as defined in Section 9.1(A) of this Lease) of Tenant, or to any entity of which Tenant is a wholly owned subsidiary in all cases subject to the net worth test set forth in this sentence. Tenant will submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet or assigned.

(A) “Affiliate” means, with respect to any individual or entity (i) that either directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, entities or individuals, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, (ii) any individual or entity directly or indirectly owning or controlling 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities or interests of such entity, (iii) any officer, member, employee, shareholder, director, fiduciary or trustee of such entity, (iv) if such entity is an officer, member, employee, shareholder, director, fiduciary or trustee, any entity for which such entity acts in any such capacity, and (v) as to any individual or entity, or any officer, member, employee, shareholder, director, fiduciary or trustee mentioned above who is an individual, the members of the immediate family of such individual. For purposes of this definition, “control” means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

9.2. In making its determination of whether to consent to any proposed sublease or assignment (which consent, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.2 will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), Landlord may take into consideration the business reputation and credit-worthiness of the proposed subtenant or assignee; the nature of the business conducted by such subtenant or assignee, which must be in conformance with the use herein permitted and whether such business would be deleterious to the reputation of the Building or Landlord, consistent with a first class mixed use building, or would violate the provisions of this Lease and/or any other leases of tenants of the Building; the estimated pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the Premises and to the Building which would be generated by the proposed subtenant or assignee; whether the proposed assignee or subtenant is a department, representative or agency of any governmental body, foreign or domestic; whether the occupancy of the proposed subtenant and/or assignee would increase the cost of insurance to be maintained in the Building; and any other reasonable factors which Landlord will deem relevant. In no event will Landlord be obligated to consider a consent to any proposed (i) sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease if a Default then exists under this Lease, or (ii) assignment of this Lease which would assign less than all of Tenant’s obligation under this Lease and/or the entire Premises. In the event that Tenant alleges that Landlord has wrongfully withheld its consent to any proposed sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor will be to seek specific performance of Landlord’s obligations to consent to such sublease or assignment.

 

20


9.3. Any approved sublease or assignment will be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any such subtenant or assignee will execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or assignee’s assumption of such obligations and liabilities. Tenant will deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Premises. Landlord’s approval of a sublease or assignment will not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right under this Article 9 with regard to further assignments or subleases.

9.4. For purposes of this Article 9, an assignment will be deemed to include a change in the majority control of Tenant, resulting from any transfer, sale or assignment of shares of stock of Tenant occurring by operation of law or otherwise if Tenant is a corporation whose shares of stock are not traded publicly. If Tenant is a partnership, any change in the partners of Tenant will be deemed to be an assignment. The provisions of this Section 9.4 will not be applicable to Tenant if it is a corporation whose stock is publicly traded. In no event will Tenant be permitted to assign (or otherwise transfer) this Lease or Sublease all or any portion of the Premises for the purpose of avoiding Tenant’s obligations under and pursuant to this Lease and any such action and/or attempt at such action will be null and void.

9.5. Intentionally omitted.

9.6. Tenant will pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease, 50% of the amount by which the sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect) due from the subtenant for such month exceeds that portion of the monthly Fixed Rent and due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet, less the actual expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such subletting including reasonable legal fees, brokerage commissions to persons not affiliated with Tenant and standard market concessions given by Tenant to sublessee. Tenant will pay Landlord on the effective date of the assignment 50% of the amount of all consideration (direct or indirect) due by the assignee to Tenant.

9.7. In the event of any sublease Tenant will not be released or discharged from and will remain solely liable for any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from the exercise of any renewal or expansion option. In the event of any assignment, Tenant will not be released or discharged from and will remain solely liable for any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from the exercise of any renewal or expansion option; provided, however, that subject to Landlord’s prior written consent that will not be unreasonably withheld, and Landlord’s receipt of an executed estoppel certificate from Tenant in form and substance acceptable to Landlord and the written instrument that satisfies the requirements of Section 9.8 of this Lease, Tenant will be released and discharged for any liability arising after the effective date of any assignment. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s consent will be deemed reasonably withheld if in Landlord’s good faith judgment: (i) the proposed assignee does not have the financial strength (taking into account all of the assignee’s other actual or potential obligations and liabilities) and proposed lease guarantees to perform its obligations with respect to the proposed assignment (or otherwise does not satisfy Landlord’s standards for financial standing with respect to tenants

 

21


under direct leases of comparable economic scope); or (ii) any mortgagee whose consent to such release of Tenant is required fails to consent to such release. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a sublease or assignment, Tenant will pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to each such request for any assignment or sublease; however, neither Tenant’s payment of this fee nor Landlord’s acceptance of the fee will be construed to impose any obligation whatsoever upon Landlord to consent to Tenant’s request.

9.8. If Tenant assigns this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee will expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder from and after the date of the Assignment in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord not later than 15 days prior to the effective date of the assignment. If Tenant subleases the Premises as permitted herein, Tenant will, at Landlord’s option, within 15 days following any request by Landlord, obtain and furnish to Landlord the written agreement of such subtenant to the effect that the subtenant will attorn to Landlord.

9.9. Except as set forth in Section 9.7 of this Lease, nothing in this Lease will be construed as relieving Tenant (or in the event of a merger, the surviving entity), in the event of an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of all or a portion of the Premises, of the primary liability to Landlord for the full and faithful performance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Lease.

ARTICLE 10. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

10.1. The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following will constitute a “Default” by Tenant under this Lease:

(A) Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent within 5 business days of written notice that the same was not paid when due; however, Landlord will not be obligated to provide more than 1 written notice within any rolling 12 calendar month period;

(B) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, including any Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit “F” or any other reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time during the Term, and fails to cure such default within 30 days after written notice thereof to Tenant, provided that if such failure to observe or perform cannot, with the exercise of reasonable effort be cured within such 30 day period, the same will not constitute a default if Tenant commences to cure during such 30 day period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes such cure to completion;

(C) the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under execution or other legal process;

(D) a petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant bankrupt or seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement the Bankruptcy Act or any similar law, or any amendment, replacement or substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts, which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within 60 days;

 

22


(E) Tenant is declared insolvent by law or any assignment of Tenant’s property is made for the benefit of creditors;

(F) a receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenant’s property, which appointment is not discharged within 60 days;

(G) Tenant having abandoned the Premises; provided, however, Tenant will not be deemed to have abandoned the Premises if (i) Tenant otherwise performs or causes to be performed its obligations under this Lease, and (ii) Tenant permits Landlord to install, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, timers in the reception area of the Premises to enable the lighting in the reception area to turn on at dusk and off at dawn.

(H) upon the dissolution of Tenant;

(I) Tenant fails to maintain the insurance required pursuant to Article 15 of this Lease after written notice and a 20 day opportunity to cure; provided, however, that notwithstanding the aforementioned 20 day cure period, if Tenant fails to maintain the insurance required pursuant to Article 15 of this Lease, Landlord may obtain such required insurance on behalf of Tenant and such event, Tenant will pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the costs incurred by Landlord in obtaining such insurance within 20 days of Landlord’s demand therefor;

(J) Tenant fails to accept delivery of possession of any Phase of the Premises on the applicable Rent Commencement Date provided that the requirements for delivery of possession of such Phase of the Premises have been substantially completed by Landlord;

(K) The material failure of any representation or warranty made hereunder by Tenant which failure continues for a period of 30 days after written notice to Tenant specifying the nature of such failure; or

(L) upon the 3rd occurrence within any Lease Year that Tenant fails to pay Fixed Rent, or undisputed amount of Additional Rent, or both, when due or has breached a particular covenant of this Lease (whether or not such failure or breach is thereafter cured within any stated cure or grace period or statutory period), provided notice has been delivered as herein required.

10.2. If a Default occurs, Landlord will have the rights and remedies hereinafter set forth, which will be distinct and cumulative: (i) Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of Landlord’s election to do so, in which event, the term of this Lease will end and all of Tenant’s rights and interests will expire on the date stated in such notice; (ii) Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving notice to Tenant that Tenant’s right of possession will end on the date specified in such notice but Tenant will nevertheless remain liable for the payment of Rent, which obligations will expressly survive the termination of this Lease; or (iii) Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease and may enforce and protect the rights of Landlord hereunder by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including recovery of all monies due or to become due for the balance of the Term from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease.

 

23


10.3. In the event that Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, subject to Landlord’s obligation to attempt to mitigate its damages pursuant to applicable laws, Landlord will be entitled to recover as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, Rent for the balance of the Term (as provided for in Section 10.4(A) of this Lease or on the dates that any future or remaining payments of Rent are due), plus all Landlord’s reasonable expenses of reletting, including without limitation, repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, decorations, legal fees and brokerage commissions (collectively, the “Reletting Expenses”); provided, however, that the commencement or maintenance of any one or more actions or proceedings will not bar Landlord from bringing other or subsequent actions or proceedings for further accruals pursuant to the provisions of this Lease either in a single action or proceeding at the end of the Term or any one or more actions or proceedings.

10.4. In the event of any such termination of this Lease, if the Premises has not been relet, Tenant will pay to Landlord each month the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and other payments required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease up to the time of such termination:

(A) The amount of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent if this Lease were still in effect together with any and all reasonable, actual and verifiable costs paid or incurred by Landlord as a result of such termination, which costs will be payable by Tenant forthwith, less

(B) The net proceeds, if any, of any reletting, after deducting all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting, including all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees, alternation costs, repairs and other expenses of preparation for such reletting.

Tenant will pay such current damages (“deficiency”) to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Fixed Rent would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease were still in effect, and Landlord will be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly deficiency as the same will arise. Landlord reserves the right to bring actions or proceedings for the recovery of any deficiency remaining unpaid without being obliged to await the end of the Term for a final determination of Tenant’s account, and the commencement or maintenance of any one or more actions or proceedings will not bar Landlord from bringing other or subsequent actions or proceedings for further accruals pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

10.5. Landlord will utilize commercially reasonable measures to mitigate its damages as a result of a Default. For purposes of a reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve the Premises to the extent reasonably necessary or desirable. If the Premises are relet and the consideration realized therefrom after payment of all Landlord’s Reletting Expenses, is insufficient to satisfy the payment when due of Rent reserved under this Lease for any monthly period, then Tenant will pay Landlord upon demand any such deficiency monthly. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due to Landlord hereunder from time to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord hereunder will not be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord.

 

24


10.6. If a Default occurs, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant’s property, fixtures, furnishings, signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold such property; provided, however, that such entry and possession will not terminate this Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent reserved hereunder for the full Term or from any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Any and all property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord will in no event, be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant will pay Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same will be in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken from storage by Tenant within 30 days after the Termination Date, will be conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as a bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

10.7. Tenant will pay upon demand, all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in enforcing Tenant’s performance of its obligations under this Lease, or resulting from Tenant’s Default, or incurred by Landlord in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Tenant causes Landlord, without Landlord’s fault, to become involved or concerned and likewise, Landlord will pay upon demand, all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Tenant in enforcing Landlord’s performance of its obligations under this Lease, or resulting from an Event of Landlord Default (as defined in Section 10.10 of this Lease), or incurred by Tenant in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Landlord causes Tenant, without Tenant’s fault, to become involved or concerned.

10.8. The following provisions will apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant:

(A) In connection with any proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code where the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purposes of assigning it, such election or assignment, may only be made upon compliance with the provisions of Section 10.8 (B) and (C) below, which conditions Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable. In the event the trustee elects to reject this Lease then Landlord will immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee.

(B) Any election to assume this Lease under Chapter 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code by Tenant as debtor-in-possession or by Tenant’s trustee (the “Electing Party”) must provide for the Electing Party to cure or provide to Landlord adequate assurance that it will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within 15 days from the date of assumption and it will cure all nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within 30 days from the date of assumption. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially reasonable.

 

25


(C) If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign Tenant’s interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be assigned only if the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease. For the purposes hereof, “adequate assurance of future performance” means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

 

  1.

The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and

 

  2.

Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties which may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit such assignment.

(D) Landlord’s acceptance of Rent or any other payment from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the requirement of Landlord’s consent, Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent, or Landlord’s claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.

10.9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, under no circumstances will any Default prevent Tenant from receiving the First Phase Rent Credit, the Second Phase Rent Credit, the Third Phase Rent Credit, or Landlord’s Contribution unless and until Tenant has been given an additional 10 days’ prior written notice and the opportunity to cure in the event of a monetary Default, and an additional 20 days’ prior written notice and the opportunity to cure in the event of a non-monetary Default, and notwithstanding the foregoing in the event the cure of any non-monetary Default cannot reasonably completed in the aforementioned timeframes, then so long as Tenant is diligently pursuing such cure, Tenant shall be afforded such additional time as may be necessary to complete such cure.

10.10. The following will constitute an event of default by Landlord hereunder (an “Event of Landlord Default”):,

(A) Landlord’s failure to make any payment of money due hereunder to Tenant, within 30 days after the receipt of written notice from Tenant that same is overdue; or

(B) Landlord’s failure to perform any nonmonetary obligation of Landlord hereunder within 30 days after receipt of written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying such failure and demanding that the same be cured; provided that, if such failure cannot with reasonable diligence be wholly cured within such 30 day period, Landlord will have such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to cure the failure, so long as Landlord proceeds promptly to commence the cure of same within such 30 day period and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion; or

 

26


(C) The material failure of any representation or warranty made hereunder by Landlord which failure continues for a period of 30 days after written notice to Landlord specifying the nature of such failure.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Landlord Default, Tenant’s remedies will be either (i) sue for damages including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; provided, however, in no event will Landlord be liable for Tenant or anyone claiming by or through Tenant under any theory of tort, contract, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for any lost profits, exemplary, punitive, special incidental, indirect or consequential damages or (ii) to cure any such Event of Landlord Default on its own accord and deduct the actual and reasonable costs thereof from any payment of Fixed Rent due to Landlord under this Lease; provided that Tenant’s right to set off or deduct from any given monthly installment of Fixed Rent hereunder will be limited to 25% of such monthly installment of Fixed Rent.

ARTICLE 11. SURRENDER OF PREMISES

11.1. Upon the Expiration Date, Tenant will surrender and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in a clean, and good and tenantable condition, ordinary wear and tear, obsolescence, condemnation, and damage from the elements, fire and other casualty excepted. Tenant will deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. Tenant will remove from the Premises all movable personal property of Tenant, Tenant’s trade fixtures, Decorations, and such Alterations which Landlord has elected pursuant to Section 8.4 of this Lease to have Tenant remove from the Premises. Tenant will remove cabling, hardware, and equipment installed by or on behalf of Tenant from the ceiling plenum spaces, and/or concealed in wall cavities, including cabling related to Tenant’s movable wall systems or partition office furniture, if any, and IT and telecommunications systems, without damaging existing infrastructure and pathways that may support fire alarm systems, lighting systems, electrical systems, fire protection systems, and/or HVAC systems. Tenant immediately will repair all damage resulting from removal of any of Tenant’s property, furnishings or Tenant Additions, If possession of the Premises is not delivered to Landlord when required hereunder, or if Tenant fails to remove those items described above, Landlord may, at Tenant’s expense, and upon not less than 10 business days’ written notice to Tenant, remove any of such property therefrom without any liability to Landlord and undertake, at Tenant’s expense, such restoration work as Landlord deems necessary or advisable consistent with the requirements of this Section 11.1.

11.2. All property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord will be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may deal with such property as provided in Section 10.6. Tenant will also reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in removing any Alterations, and in restoring the Premises to the condition required by this Lease at the Expiration Date which will be the same condition of the Premises as of each Phase Rent Commencement Date, subject to normal wear and tear and any Alterations which are not required to be removed pursuant to Section 8.4 of this Lease.

 

27


ARTICLE 12. HOLDING OVER

Tenant will pay Landlord 150% of the monthly Rent (except that for the first 30 days of the holdover Tenant will pay 125% of the monthly Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the holding over). The provisions of this Article will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord and Tenant’s continued occupancy of the Premises will be as a tenancy in sufferance, absent a written agreement by and between Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant will indemnify Landlord against loss, cost, liability or reasonable expense resulting from such failure including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded on such failure. Tenant’s obligations under this Article 12 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 13. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

13.1. If any fire or other casualty (whether insured or uninsured) renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord will, with reasonable promptness not to exceed 45 days after the occurrence of such damage, estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration and will by notice advise Tenant of such estimate (“Landlord’s Notice”). If Landlord estimates that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed 180 days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord, or Tenant (but with respect to Tenant only if all or a substantial portion of the Premises, or the Common Areas used to access the Premises, is rendered untenantable and the time period of in excess of 180 days relates to the repair of the Premises and Common Areas, if applicable), will have the right to terminate this Lease retroactively to the date of such damage upon giving written notice to the other at any time within 20 days after delivery of Landlord’s Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord’s Notice may also constitute such notice of termination. However, in the event (i) a fire or other casualty renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable prior to the First Phase Rent Commencement Date and (ii) if the estimated time to substantially complete the repair and restoration set forth in Landlord’s Notice exceeds 180 days from the anticipated First Phase Rent Commencement Date, then either party may terminate this Lease upon giving written notice to the other at any time within 20 days after delivery of Landlord’s Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord’s Notice may also constitute such notice of termination.

13.2. Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding subparagraph, Landlord will proceed with reasonable promptness, to repair and restore the Premises to its condition as existed prior to such casualty, exclusive of any Alterations, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and Force Majeure delays, and also subject to zoning laws and building codes then in effect;. Landlord will have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant will not be entitled to terminate this Lease if such repairs and restoration are not in fact completed no later than 60 days or such longer period as may be required so long as Landlord proceeds with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs and restoration.

 

28


13.3. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether earned by Landlord or Tenant, for damages to the Premises, except for those proceeds of Tenant’s insurance of its own Alterations (which Landlord has elected pursuant to Section 8.4 of this Lease to have Tenant remove from the Premises), personal property and equipment which would be removable by Tenant at the Expiration Date. All such insurance proceeds will be payable to Landlord whether or not the Premises are to be repaired and restored.

13.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, (i) Landlord will have no duty to repair or restore any Tenant Additions or to expend for any repair or restoration of the Premises or Building amounts in excess of insurance proceeds (including Landlord’s deductible) paid to Landlord and available for the repair or restoration of the Premises or Building amounts in excess of insurance proceeds paid to Landlord and available for repair or restoration; and (ii) Tenant may not to terminate this Lease if any damage or destruction was caused by the act or neglect of Tenant, its agent or employees.

(A) “Tenant Additions” means any, and collectively all improvements to the Premises completed by Tenant for Tenant’s original occupancy thereof and Alterations.

13.5. Any repair or restoration of the Premises performed by Tenant will be in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of this Lease.

13.6. If the Premises or the Building is damaged by a casualty but neither is rendered substantially untenantable, then Landlord will proceed to repair and restore the Building or the Premises other than Tenant Additions, with reasonable promptness, unless such damage is to the Premises and occurs during the last 18 months of the Term, in which event either Tenant or Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to the other within 20 days after the date of such casualty.

13.7. Tenant will give Landlord notice in case of a fire or accident in the Premises promptly after Tenant is aware of such event

ARTICLE 14. EMINENT DOMAIN

14.1. In the event the whole or any substantial part of the Building or of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation), this Lease will terminate as of the date title vests in such authority, and Rent will be apportioned as of the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in the event the taking is temporary (for less than the remaining term of this Lease), Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease. Additionally, if more than 25% of the area of the Premises is taken or conveyed, or if 25% or less of the area of the Premises is being taken or conveyed and Tenant, in Tenant’s reasonable discretion, determines that it is unable to continue its operation in the Premises for the use permitted in this Lease, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the day possession is taken. If so much of the parking facilities are taken or conveyed so that the number of parking spaces necessary, in Landlord’s judgment, for the continued operation of the Building is not available, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease as of the day possession is taken.

14.2. If a part of the Building or the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority (or a deed is delivered in lieu of condemnation) and this Lease is not terminated, this Lease will be amended to reduce the Fixed Rent and Tenant’s Share to reflect the Rentable Area of the Premises or Building, as the case may be, remaining after any such taking or condemnation. Landlord, upon receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation (or proceeds of sale) will make necessary repairs and restorations to the Premises (exclusive of Tenant Additions) and to the Building to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of the Building not so taken or condemned as a complete architectural and economically efficient unit.

14.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 14.2, if as a result of any taking, or a governmental order that the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the Building is to be changed and such taking or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to substantially remodel or restore the Building or prevents the economical operation of the Building as determined by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant will each have the right to terminate this Lease upon 90 days prior written notice to the other and Rent will be adjusted as of such date of termination. Landlord will promptly provide Tenant with notice of any proposed takings and will thereafter provide Tenant with monthly updates on any proposed takings and will promptly notice Tenant of any final judgment or settlement with any condemning authority.

14.4. Landlord will be entitled to receive the entire award (or sale proceeds) from any such taking, condemnation or sale without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award; provided, however, Tenant will have the right separately to pursue against the condemning authority a separate award in respect of the loss, if any, for moving expenses and Tenant additions and Alterations paid for by Tenant without any credit or allowance from Landlord so long as there is no diminution of Landlord’s award as a result.

Neither Landlord’s obligation to carry such insurance nor the carrying of such insurance will be deemed to be an indemnity by Landlord with respect to any claim, liability, loss, cost or expense due, in whole or in part, to Tenant’s negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct and Tenant will have no right to any proceeds obtained or received by Landlord with respect to any such insurance.

20.3. Landlord will construct Tenant’s Work pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

(A) Tenant’s Work will be managed by a construction manager or a general contractor (“Construction Manager”) which will be determined as set forth in this Section 20.3(A).

Tenant will be permitted to review all submitted bids before Landlord chooses the bid to be accepted. Landlord agrees it will accept the lowest qualified bid, or such other bid as may be mutually agreeable between Landlord and Tenant. If after receipt of the bids Tenant desires to eliminate or alter work identified on the Final Construction Documents for the purpose of reducing the cost to construct Tenant’s Work (“Value Engineering”), Tenant will be provided with a 1 time right to eliminate and/or modify items identified on the Final Construction Documents without the same constituting a Tenant Delay (as defined in Section 20.5 of this Lease), provided (i) Tenant releases all trades not essential to Value Engineering, and (ii) Tenant advises Landlord in writing of the changes and/or modifications to the Final Construction Documents within 5 days of the opening of the bids. Any additional changes to the Final Construction Documents after Tenant’s 1 time right described in the preceding sentence will be treated as a change order in accordance with Section 20.3(K) of this Lease. Landlord will ensure that there are no trade or jurisdictional disputes through use of labor or methods of installation and that Tenant’s Work will be performed in harmony with all other trades engaged by Landlord to complete Tenant’s Work and all other work occurring in the Building.

 

35


(B) All bids received will be submitted to Tenant with a recommended selection, which will be subject to Tenant’s approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned and will be made within 14 days’ of receipt of Landlord’s analysis of the bids along with copies of all bids.

(C) The completion of each phase of Tenant’s Work will be that actual date in which such phase is substantially completed by Landlord, subject to Tenant Delay and/or Landlord delay, which as of the Effective Date are anticipated to be as set forth on Exhibit “B-l” (the “Completion Date”).

(D) Landlord will use only new, first-class materials in Tenant’s Work. Landlord will obtain such usual and customary warranties from the general contractor or Construction Manager of at least 1 year’s duration from the Completion Date against defects in workmanship and materials on all work performed and equipment installed in the Premises as part of Tenant’s Work.

(E) Landlord will not deviate from the Final Construction Documents in performance of Tenant’s Work, except as approved by Tenant in writing, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s consent will not be required in connection with minor deviations required by applicable laws or governmental authority.

(F) Landlord will give notice to Tenant of the Landlord’s overall price to perform Tenant’s Work (the “Fitout Price”) utilizing the bid of the Construction Manager selected in accordance with Section 20.3(A) of this Lease. The Fitout Price will include (i) the Construction Manager’s aggregate price (which will include additional costs of any change orders) for Tenant’s Work, including but not limited to labor, materials, overhead, insurance, and fees; (ii) a Landlord markup not to exceed $250,000.00 (which markup will include additional costs of any change orders and will be applied as follows: $150,000.00 against the First Phase Contribution, $50,000.00 against the Second Phase Contribution, and $50,000.00 against the Third Phase Contribution) for the Tenant’s Work as payment in full of Landlord’s design review fee and Landlord’s construction supervision fee, and (iii) all permitting fees.

(G) The cost of Tenant’s Work will not include the cost of constructing the Base Building and Core Improvements Work listed on Exhibit “B-2”.

(I) Provided that subject to the terms of Section 10.9 of this Lease (i) no Default has occurred or (ii) if a Default has occurred, Tenant has previously cured it in full or Landlord has have waived such Default, Landlord will (a) credit against any amount otherwise due to Landlord from Tenant as contemplated by this Article 20, including, but not limited to, Landlord’s price to perform Tenant’s Work, up to an amount equal to the balance of $13,968,415.00 [$8,933,805.00 ($45.00 multiplied by the Rentable Area of the First Phase based upon 198,529 RSF) (“First Phase Contribution”) + $2,517,305.00 ($35.00 multiplied by the Rentable Area of the Second

 

36


Phase based upon 71,923 RSF) (“Second Phase Contribution”) + $2,517,305.00 ($35.00 multiplied by the Rentable Area of the Third Phase based upon 71,923 RSF) (“Third Phase Contribution”)], net of Landlord’s markup contemplated by Section 20.3(F)(ii) above, which amounts are collectively referred to as “Landlord’s Contribution”. If the amount of the Fitout Price applicable to each Phase is less than or equal to the applicable Contribution, i.e., the First Phase Contribution, the Second Phase Contribution, or the Third Phase Contribution, Landlord will pay 100% of each of the Construction Manager’s invoices for the construction of Tenant’s Work for the applicable Phase. If the total amount of the Fitout Price for an applicable Phase is more than Landlord’s Contribution, Landlord will promptly deliver a complete copy of each invoice from the Construction Manager to Tenant, and Landlord will credit and fund payment of that amount of each such invoice which bears the same ratio to the total amount of the respective invoice as Landlord’s Contribution payable to the Construction Manager bears to the total amount of Fitout Price; and at the same time, Tenant will fund payment of the balance of the respective invoice by paying such balance to Landlord in accordance with the Payment Schedule attached to this Lease as Exhibit “J”. If, after the completion of any Third Phase punch list items, the total amount of Landlord’s price to perform Tenant’s Work is less than Landlord’s Contribution, subject to the terms of Section 10.9 of this Lease, provided that (i) no Default has occurred or (ii) if a Default has occurred, Tenant has previously cured it in full or Landlord has waived such Default, the remaining portion of Landlord’s Contribution will be paid to Tenant or credited against monthly payment(s) of Rent, at Tenant’s election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Landlord fails to make any payment due to the Construction Manager under this Section 20.3(1) and as a result the Construction Manager stops or otherwise delays the performance of Tenant’s work, then Tenant will deliver Landlord written notice of such event, and if Landlord does not cause the Construction Manager to re-commence Tenant’s Work within 2 business days’ of receipt of such written notice from Tenant, then Tenant, may, but will not be obligated to, make payment to the Construction Manager on behalf of Landlord. In such event, Landlord will reimburse Tenant in the amount of the payment within 5 business days of Tenant’s written demand therefore, which written demand will be accompanied by evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to Landlord and if Landlord fails to so reimburse Tenant within the aforementioned 5 business day period, Tenant may deduct the amount of such payment together with interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the Fixed Rent due and owing to Landlord under this Lease.

(J) All books, records, and documents and correspondence related to billing and payment of actual invoices relating to the Tenant Work will be made available to Tenant. During each calendar month during Tenant’s Work, Landlord will deliver to Tenant: (i) with respect to the costs of Tenant’s Work, a request for payment, approved by Landlord, in standard AIA form, showing the schedule, by trade, of percentage of completion of Tenant’s Work, detailing the portion of Tenant’s Work completed and the portion not completed, and demonstrating that the relationship between the cost of Tenant’s Work completed and the cost of Tenant’s Work to be completed complies with the terms of the construction budget previously approved by Tenant; (ii) copies of invoices from all of Landlord’s contractors, for labor rendered and materials delivered to the Premises; (ii) copies of executed construction lien releases from all of Landlord’s contractors for previous payments; and (iv) with respect to non-construction costs, reasonably detailed invoices from each vendor.

 

37


(K) Tenant will submit in writing any request for any structural changes or modifications to the Final Construction Documents, which will be subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Landlord reasonably estimates that such structural changes or modifications will increase the costs of Tenant’s Work or delay substantial completion of Tenant’s Work, then Landlord will advise Tenant in its written approval notice of the cost of such change order and the delay in substantial completion that is due to the change order and that would be Tenant’s sole responsibility. Tenant will have 3 business days following receipt of such information from Landlord to elect to (i) revoke such request, or (ii) continue with the modifications (it being agreed that Tenant’s failure to respond within such 3 day period will be deemed an election to continue with the modifications). Landlord agrees that it will not be permitted to effect any change orders to the construction contract with respect to Tenant’s Work (or otherwise increase the cost or time to complete thereof) without the written approval of Tenant, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord will have no rights of approval over any changes to the Final Construction Documents other than those which effect the structural components of the Building.

20.4. Within 15 days after the Effective Date, Tenant will appoint an agent of Tenant to act as a construction representative to be available to Landlord to answer questions and coordinate the construction of Tenant’s Work. Tenant may change its construction representative from time to time upon written notice to Landlord. Landlord will appoint David Schreiber as its construction representative or such other representative, including without limitation, Tenant’s construction representative, as Landlord may so elect from time to time upon prior written notice to Tenant.

20.5. As of the Effective Date, Landlord anticipates that the Completion Date for the First Phase will occur on the later of (i) October 1, 2017 and (ii) the date that is 429 days after the Effective Date. Unless adjusted as set forth in this Section 20.5, the Rent Commencement Date for each phase will be the actual Completion Date for each phase, adjusted to an earlier date to compensate the Landlord for the cumulative number of days of Tenant Delay, if any. “Tenant Delay” means any period of delay in achieving the Completion Date for each phase, as applicable, to the extent caused by the Construction Manager, Tenant or Tenant’s contractors, employees, agents or licensees, including but not limited to change orders (structural and non- structural) and value engineering changes requested by Tenant; provided, however, that with respect to the construction of the First Phase of the Premises, if the Completion Date occurs on or before October 1, 2017 there will be no adjustment to the First Phase Rent Commencement Date. By way of example and not of limitation, if during the course of construction of Tenant’s Work for the First Phase, there are 31 days of Tenant Delay but the Completion Date nevertheless occurs on October 1,2017, the First Phase Rent Commencement Date will remain October 1, 2017; however, if as a result of the aforementioned 31 day Tenant Delay the Completion Date for the First Phase occurs on November 1, 2017, the First Phase Rent Commencement Date will adjusted to October 1, 2017 to account for the 31 days of Tenant Delay.

 

38


20.6. Tenant and Tenant’s representatives, agents, contractors and employees will be afforded access to the Premises, upon advance reasonable coordination with Landlord, during regular business days and hours after the Effective Date for the purposes of monitoring Tenant’s Work, installation of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, security system, and will require access to the IT room at least 60 days prior to the applicable Completion Date for installation of Tenant’s telecommunications equipment, if and to the extent such installation does not unreasonably interfere with Landlord’s construction activities within the Premises or delay the anticipated date of completion thereof. During such early occupancy period, Tenant will be subject to all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease (including but not limited to obtaining and carrying applicable insurance required pursuant to this Lease) except for Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and such early occupancy (or the failure of Landlord to afford such early occupancy) will not affect the determination of any Completion Date. Tenant hereby acknowledges that such access and installation may cause a Tenant Delay.

20.7. Within 30 days after the Completion Date for each Phase, Tenant’s architect and MEP engineer will create a punchlist for Landlord’s review. Landlord will, within 30 days following receipt of the punch list items, commence to repair or complete such punch list items and will complete such items with due diligence.

28.2. Such extension of the Term will be upon the same covenants and conditions, as set forth in this Lease except for the Fixed Rent (which will be determined in the manner set forth below), and except that Tenant will have no further right to extend the Term after the exercise of the option(s) described in Section 28.1 above. If Tenant timely gives notice of its election to extend the Term, the Renewal Term will be added to and become a part of the Term and any reference in this Lease to the “Term of this Lease” or any similar expression will be deemed to include such Renewal Term, and, in addition, the Expiration Date will thereafter mean the last day of such Renewal Term.

28.3. If Tenant exercises its option for the Renewal Term, the Fixed Rent during the Renewal Term will be 90% of the fair market rent for the Premises (hereinafter “fair market rent”).

45


28.5. If the parties are unable to agree on the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term during the Negotiation Period, within 15 days after notice from the other party, given after expiration of the Negotiation Period, each party, at its cost and upon notice to the other party, will appoint a person to act as an appraiser hereunder, to determine the fair market rent for the Premises for the Renewal Term. Each such person will be a real estate broker or appraiser with at least 10 years’ active commercial real estate appraisal or brokerage experience (involving the leasing of office space as agent for both landlords and Tenants) in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Each notice containing the name of a person to act as appraiser will contain also the person’s address. If a party does not appoint a person to act as an appraiser within the 15 day period, the person appointed by the other party will be the sole appraiser and will determine the fair market rent. Before proceeding to establish the fair market rent, the appraisers will subscribe and swear to an oath fairly and impartially to determine the fair market rent.

A decision in which 2 of the 3 appraisers concur will be binding and conclusive upon the parties. In deciding the dispute, the appraisers will act in accordance with the rules then in force of the Association, subject however, to such limitations as may be placed on them by the provisions of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Fixed Rent during the Renewal Term be less than the Fixed Rent during the last year of the Term immediately preceding the Renewal Term.

28.6. After the fair market rent for the Renewal Term has been determined by the appraiser or appraisers and the appraiser or appraisers have notified the Parties, at the request of either party, both Parties will execute and deliver to each other an amendment of this Lease stating the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term.

28.7. If the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term has not been agreed to or established prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord, in monthly installments, an annual rent (“Temporary Rent”) which Temporary Rent will be equal to the monthly Fixed Rent payable by Tenant for the last year of the Term immediately preceding the Renewal Term. Thereafter, if the Parties agree upon a Fixed Rent, or the Fixed Rent is established upon the determination of the fair market rent by the appraiser or appraisers, at a rate at variance with the Temporary Rent, (i) if such Fixed Rent is greater than the Temporary Rent, Tenant will promptly pay to Landlord the difference between the Fixed Basic Rent determined by agreement or the appraisal process and the Temporary Rent, or (ii) if such Fixed Basic Rent is less than the Temporary Rent, Landlord will credit to Tenant’s subsequent monthly installments of Fixed Rent the difference between the Temporary Rent and the Fixed Basic Rent determined by agreement or the appraisal process.

 

46

28.9. The option granted to Tenant under this Article 28 may be exercised only by Tenant, its permitted successors and assigns, and not by any subtenant or any successor to the interest of Tenant by reason of any action under the Bankruptcy Code, or by any public officer, custodian, receiver, United States Trustee, trustee or liquidator of Tenant or substantially all of Tenant’s property. Tenant will have no right to exercise this option granted to Tenant under this Article 28 unless Tenant cures any default within the applicable grace period.

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Article 30 are not intended to create a legal obligation on Landlord or Tenant, nor will any indemnification obligations concerning Tenant’s employees otherwise provided for in this Lease apply to the foregoing property manager (and other support staff) employed by Landlord; accordingly, the provisions of this Article 30 will not be enforceable in a court of law or equity or by any agency or governing body and Landlord will indemnify Tenant for any liability incurred by Tenant as a result of the provisions of this Article 30.

The parties agree that Tenant’s use of the rooftop of the Building is a non-exclusive use and Landlord may permit the use of any other portion of the roof to any other person for any use including installation of other antennas and support equipment. Landlord will use its commercially reasonable efforts to insure that such other persons do not interfere with Tenant’s Antenna. Likewise, Tenant will use its commercially reasonable efforts to insure that its use of the rooftop does not impair any other person’s data transmission and reception via its respective antennas and support equipment. If Tenant’s construction, installation, maintenance, repair, operation or use of the Antenna interferes with the rights of Landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord’s right to reasonable use the remainder of the roof), Tenant will cooperate with Landlord or such other tenants in eliminating such interference; provided, however, the cost of remedying such interference will be borne by whichever party last installed its equipment on the roof causing such interference.

(C) In connection with the installation, maintenance and operation of the Antenna, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, will comply with all applicable Laws and will procure, maintain and pay for all permits required therefor, and Landlord makes no warranties whatsoever as to the permissibility of an Antenna under applicable Laws or the suitability of the roof of the Building for the installation thereof. If Landlord’s structural engineer deems it reasonably necessary that there be structural reinforcement of the roof in connection with the installation of the Antenna, Landlord will perform same at Tenant’s cost and expense and Tenant will not perform any such installation prior to the completion of any such structural reinforcement. The installation of the Antenna will be subject to the provisions of Article 9 of this Lease applicable to alterations and installations, except that Landlord need not notify Tenant whether Tenant must remove the Antenna at the end of the Term, it being the intent of the parties that Tenant will remove the Antenna at the end of the Term and repair any damage to the Building resulting from such installation and removal. For the purpose of installing, servicing or repairing the Antenna, Tenant will have access to the rooftop of the Building using contractors reasonably approved by Landlprd at all times during the Term. Tenant will pay for all electrical service required for Tenant’s use of the Antenna.

Tenant will be responsible for all costs and expense for repairs of the roof which result from Tenant’s use of the roof for the construction, installation, maintenance, repair, operation and use of the Antenna. All installations made by Tenant on the rooftop or in any other part of the Building pursuant to the provisions of this Article 31 will be at the sole risk of Tenant, and neither Landlord, nor any agent or employee of Landlord, will be responsible or liable for any injury or damage to, or arising out of, the Antenna. Tenant’s indemnity under Section 16.2 of this Lease will apply with respect to the installation, maintenance, operations, presence or removal of the Antenna by Tenant. In addition, any costs incurred by Landlord to repair the roof as required herein after the expiration of the Term will be borne solely by Tenant.

(E) Upon the expiration of the Term, the Antenna will be removed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense, and Tenant will repair any damage to the rooftop or any other portions of the Building to substantially their condition immediately prior to Tenant’s installation of the Antenna (ordinary wear and tear excepted).

(F) If the installation of the Antenna or act or omission relating thereto should revoke, negate or in any manner impair or limit any roof warranty or guaranty obtained by Landlord, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for any loss or damage sustained or costs or expenses incurred.

Landlord, in its sole discretion, may draw upon the Security Deposit to cure any Default under this Lease. If any such application is made, upon notice by Landlord to Tenant, Tenant, within 10 days of Landlord’s demand, will promptly replace the amount so applied in the form of an additional letter of credit with the same terms. The Security Deposit will not be deemed an advance payment of Rent, nor a measure of damages for any default by Tenant under this Lease, nor will

 

49

In the absence of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of an assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit or the remaining balance thereof, Landlord may return the Security Deposit to the original Tenant, regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease. Upon the transfer of Landlord’s interest under this Lease (and a copy of the written assumption by the transferee of Landlord’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Security Deposit sent by Landlord to Tenant), Landlord’s obligation to Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit will terminate upon assumption of such obligation by the transferee.
