II. Lease Grant.
Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises
from Landlord, together with the right in common with others to use any portions
of the Property that are designated by Landlord for the common use of tenants
and others, such as sidewalks, unreserved parking areas, common corridors,
elevator foyers, restrooms, vending areas and lobby areas (the "Common Areas").
III. Adjustment of Commencement Date; Possession.
A. The Landlord Work shall be deemed to be "Substantially
Complete" on the date that all Landlord Work has been
performed, other than any details of construction, mechanical
adjustment or any other similar matter, the noncompletion of
which does not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the
Premises. However, if Landlord is delayed in the performance
of the Landlord Work as a result of any Tenant Delay(s)
(defined below), the Landlord Work shall be deemed to be
Substantially Complete on the date that Landlord could
reasonably have been expected to Substantially Complete the
Landlord Work absent any Tenant Delay. "Tenant Delay" means
any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, employees,
vendors or contractors that actually delays the Substantial
Completion of the Landlord Work, including, without
limitation: (1) Tenant's failure to furnish information or
approvals within any time period specified in this Lease,
including the failure to prepare or approve preliminary or
final plans by any applicable due date; (2) Tenant's selection
of equipment or materials that have long lead times after
first being informed by Landlord that the selection may result
in a delay; (3) changes requested or made by Tenant to
previously approved plans and specifications; (4) performance
of work in the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's contractor(s)
during the performance of the Landlord Work; or (5) if the
performance of any portion of the Landlord Work depends on the
prior or simultaneous performance of work by Tenant, a delay
by Tenant or Tenant's contractor(s) in the completion of such
work.
B. Subject to Landlord's obligation, if any, to perform Landlord
Work and Landlord's obligations under Section IX.B., the
Premises are accepted by Tenant in "as is" condition and
configuration. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant
agrees that the Premises are in good order and satisfactory
condition, and that there are no representations or warranties
by Landlord regarding the condition of the Premises or the
Building. If Landlord is delayed delivering possession of the
Premises or any other space due to the holdover or unlawful
possession of such space by any party, Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the space. If
Landlord is not required to Substantially Complete Landlord
Work before the Commencement Date, the Commencement Date shall
be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of
the Premises to Tenant free from occupancy by any party, and
the Termination Date, at the option of Landlord, may be
postponed by an equal number of days. If Landlord is required
to Substantially Complete Landlord Work before the
Commencement Date, the Commencement Date and Termination Date
shall be determined by Section I.G.
C. If Tenant takes possession of the Premises before the
Commencement Date, such possession shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of this Lease and Tenant shall pay Rent
(defined in Section IV.A.) to Landlord for each day of
possession before the Commencement Date. However, except for
the cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g. freight
elevator usage), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for
any days of possession before the Commencement Date during
which Tenant, with the approval of Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, is in
possession of the Premises for the sole
-5-
purpose of performing improvements or installing furniture,
equipment or other personal property.
IV. Rent.
A. Payments. As consideration for this Lease, Tenant shall pay
Landlord, without any setoff or deduction, the total amount of
Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the Term. "Additional
Rent" means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is
required to pay Landlord. Additional Rent and Base Rent are
sometimes collectively referred to as "Rent". Tenant shall pay
and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes (but
excluding income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by
Rent under applicable Law. Base Rent and recurring monthly
charges of Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance
on the first day of each calendar month without notice or
demand, provided that the installment of Base Rent for the
first full calendar month of the Term shall be payable upon
the execution of this Lease by Tenant. All other items of Rent
shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before 30 days after
billing by Landlord. All payments of Rent shall be by good and
sufficient check or by other means (such as automatic debit or
electronic transfer) acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant fails
to pay any item or installment of Rent when due, Tenant shall
pay Landlord an administration fee equal to 5% of the past due
Rent, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to a grace period
of 5 Business Days for the first 2 late payments of Rent in a
given calendar year. If the Term commences on a day other than
the first day of a calendar month or terminates on a day other
than the last day of a calendar month, the monthly Base Rent
and Tenant's Pro Rata Share of any Tax Excess (defined in
Section IV.B.) or Expense Excess (defined in Section IV.B.)
for the month shall be prorated based on the number of days in
such calendar month. Landlord's acceptance of less than the
correct amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on
account of the earliest Rent due. No endorsement or statement
on a check or letter accompanying a check or payment shall be
considered an accord and satisfaction, and either party may
accept the check or payment without prejudice to that party's
right to recover the balance or pursue other available
remedies. Tenant's covenant to pay Rent is independent of
every other covenant in this Lease.
B. Expense Excess and Tax Excess. Tenant shall pay Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which Expenses (defined
in Section IV.C.) for each calendar year during the Term
exceed Expenses for the Base Year (the "Expense Excess") and
also the amount, if any, by which Taxes (defined in Section
IV.D.) for each Fiscal Year during the Term exceed Taxes for
the Base Year (the "Tax Excess"). If Expenses in any calendar
year decrease below the amount of Expenses for the Base Year,
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Expenses for that calendar year
shall be $0. If Taxes in any Fiscal Year decrease below the
amount of Taxes for the Base Year, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
Taxes for that Fiscal Year shall be $0. Landlord shall provide
Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Expense Excess and of
the Tax Excess for each calendar year during the Term. On or
before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Landlord's estimate of the Expense
Excess and one-twelfth of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
Landlord's estimate of the Tax Excess. If Landlord determines
that its good faith estimate of the Expense Excess or of the
Tax Excess was incorrect by a material amount, Landlord may
provide Tenant with a revised estimate. After its receipt of
the revised estimate, Tenant's monthly payments shall be based
upon the revised estimate. If Landlord does not provide Tenant
with an estimate of the Expense Excess or of the Tax Excess by
January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay
monthly installments based on the previous year's estimate(s)
until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate. Upon
delivery of the new estimate, an adjustment shall be made for
any month for which Tenant paid monthly installments based on
the previous year's estimate(s). Tenant shall pay Landlord the
amount of any underpayment within 30 days after receipt of the
new estimate. Any overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant
within 30 days or credited against the next due future
installment(s) of Additional Rent. Notwithstanding the fact
that Tenant's Pro Rata
-6-
Share of increases in Taxes over the Tax Base Year is
calculated on a Fiscal Year basis, Landlord shall be entitled
to bill Tenant for such amounts following the end of each
calendar year at the same time that Tenant will be billed for
its Pro Rata Share of increases in Expenses over the Expenses
Base Year. For example, during the calendar year 2003, Tenant,
on a monthly basis as provided below, shall pay Landlord an
amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated amount by
which Taxes for the Fiscal Year 2003 (7/1/02 - 6/30/03) will
exceed Taxes for the Tax Base Year. Following the date on
which Landlord receives the quarterly tax bill with respect to
the actual amount of Taxes for Fiscal Year 2003, Landlord, as
provided below, shall provide Tenant with a reconciliation of
Tenant's actual Pro Rata Share of the amount by which Taxes
for the Fiscal Year 2003 exceed Taxes for the Tax Base Year.
Such reconciliation statement may be sent by Landlord
separately or together with Landlord's reconciliation of
Tenant's actual Pro Rata Share of the amount by which Expenses
for the calendar year 2003 exceed Expenses for the Expenses
Base Year. If the Tax Base Year is more than or less than
twelve (12) months, the Tax Base Year shall be adjusted
pro-rata so that the Tax Base Year is determined on a twelve
(12) month basis. If any Fiscal Year after the Tax Base Year
is more than or less than twelve (12) months, then such Fiscal
Year shall be adjusted pro-rata so that such Fiscal Year is
determined on a twelve (12) month basis for the purposes of
calculating the Excess for such Fiscal Year. As soon as is
practical following the end of each calendar year, Landlord
shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Expenses
and Expense Excess and the actual Taxes and Tax Excess for the
prior calendar year. If the estimated Expense Excess and/or
estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year is more than
the actual Expense Excess and/or actual Tax Excess, as the
case may be, for the prior calendar year, Landlord shall apply
any overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next
becoming due, provided if the Term expires before the
determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any
overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent
due. If the estimated Expense Excess and/or estimated Tax
Excess for the prior calendar year is less than the actual
Expense Excess and/or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be,
for such prior year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days
after its receipt of the statement of Expenses and/or Taxes,
any underpayment for the prior calendar year.
C. Expenses Defined. "Expenses" means all costs and expenses
incurred in each calendar year in connection with operating,
maintaining, repairing, and managing the Building and the
Property, including, but not limited to:
1. Labor costs, including, wages, salaries, social
security and employment taxes, medical and other
types of insurance, uniforms, training, and
retirement and pension plans.
2. Management fees, the cost of equipping and
maintaining a management office, accounting and
bookkeeping services, legal fees not attributable to
leasing or collection activity, and other
administrative costs. Landlord, by itself or through
an affiliate, shall have the right to directly
perform or provide any services under this Lease
(including management services), provided that the
cost of any such services shall not exceed the cost
that would have been incurred had Landlord entered
into an arms-length contract for such services with
an unaffiliated entity of comparable skill and
experience.
3. The cost of services, including amounts paid to
service providers and the rental and purchase cost of
parts, supplies, tools and equipment.
4. Premiums and deductibles paid by Landlord for
insurance, including workers compensation, fire and
extended coverage, earthquake, general liability,
rental loss, elevator, boiler and other insurance
customarily carried from time to time by owners of
comparable office buildings.
5. Electrical Costs (defined below) and charges for
water, gas, steam and sewer, but excluding those
charges for which Landlord is reimbursed by tenants.
-7-
"Electrical Costs" means: (a) charges paid by
Landlord for electricity; (b) costs incurred in
connection with an energy management program for the
Property; and (c) if and to the extent permitted by
Law, a fee for the services provided by Landlord in
connection with the selection of utility companies
and the negotiation and administration of contracts
for electricity, provided that such fee shall not
exceed 50% of any savings obtained by Landlord.
Electrical Costs shall be adjusted as follows: (i)
amounts received by Landlord as reimbursement for
above standard electrical consumption shall be
deducted from Electrical Costs; (ii) the cost of
electricity incurred to provide overtime HVAC to
specific tenants (as reasonably estimated by
Landlord) shall be deducted from Electrical Costs;
and (iii) if Tenant is billed directly for the cost
of building standard electricity to the Premises as a
separate charge in addition to Base Rent, the cost of
electricity to individual tenant spaces in the
Building shall be deducted from Electrical Costs.
6. The amortized cost of capital improvements (as
distinguished from replacement parts or components
installed in the ordinary course of business) made to
the Property which are: (a) performed primarily to
reduce operating expense costs or otherwise improve
the operating efficiency of the Property; or (b)
required to comply with any Laws that are enacted, or
first interpreted to apply to the Property, after the
date of this Lease. The cost of capital improvements
shall be amortized by Landlord over the lesser of the
Payback Period (defined below) or 5 years. The
amortized cost of capital improvements may, at
Landlord's option, include actual or imputed interest
at the rate that Landlord would reasonably be
required to pay to finance the cost of the capital
improvement. "Payback Period" means the reasonably
estimated period of time that it takes for the cost
savings resulting from a capital improvement to equal
the total cost of the capital improvement.
If Landlord incurs Expenses for the Property together with one
or more other buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a
reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or
otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be equitably
prorated and apportioned between the Property and the other
buildings or properties. Expenses shall not include: the cost
of capital improvements (except as set forth above);
depreciation; interest (except as provided above for the
amortization of capital improvements); principal payments of
mortgage and other non-operating debts of Landlord; the cost
of repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed
by insurance or condemnation proceeds; costs in connection
with leasing space in the Building, including brokerage
commissions; lease concessions, including rental abatements
and construction allowances, granted to specific tenants;
costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing or
refinancing of the Building; fines, interest and penalties
incurred due to the late payment of Taxes (defined in Section
IV.D) or Expenses; organizational expenses associated with the
creation and operation of the entity which constitutes
Landlord; or any penalties or damages that Landlord pays to
Tenant under this Lease or to other tenants in the Building
under their respective leases. If the Building is not at least
95% occupied during any calendar year or if Landlord is not
supplying services to at least 95% of the total Rentable
Square Footage of the Building at any time during a calendar
year, Expenses shall, at Landlord's option, be determined as
if the Building had been 95% occupied and Landlord had been
supplying services to 95% of the Rentable Square Footage of
the Building during that calendar year. If Tenant pays for its
Pro Rata Share of Expenses based on increases over a "Base
Year" and Expenses for a calendar year are determined as
provided in the prior sentence, Expenses for the Base Year
shall also be determined as if the Building had been 95%
occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to 95% of
the Rentable Square Footage of the Building. The extrapolation
of Expenses under this Section shall be performed by
appropriately adjusting the cost of those components of
Expenses that are impacted by changes in the occupancy of the
Building.
D. Taxes Defined. "Taxes" shall mean: (1) all real estate taxes
and other assessments on the Building and/or Property,
including, but not limited to,
-8-
assessments for special improvement districts and building
improvement districts, taxes and assessments levied in
substitution or supplementation in whole or in part of any
such taxes and assessments and the Property's share of any
real estate taxes and assessments under any reciprocal
easement agreement, common area agreement or similar agreement
as to the Property; (2) all personal property taxes for
property that is owned by Landlord and used in connection with
the operation, maintenance and repair of the Property; and (3)
all costs and fees incurred in connection with seeking
reductions in any tax liabilities described in (1) and (2),
including, without limitation, any costs incurred by Landlord
for compliance, review and appeal of tax liabilities. Without
limitation, Taxes shall not include any income, capital levy,
franchise, capital stock, gift, estate or inheritance tax. If
an assessment is payable in installments, Taxes for the year
shall include the amount of the installment and any interest
due and payable during that year. For all other real estate
taxes, Taxes for that year shall, at Landlord's election,
include either the amount accrued, assessed or otherwise
imposed for the year or the amount due and payable for that
year, provided that Landlord's election shall be applied
consistently throughout the Term. If a change in Taxes is
obtained for any year of the Term during which Tenant paid
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of any Tax Excess, then Taxes for that
year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide
Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment.
Likewise, if a change is obtained for Taxes for the Base Year,
Taxes for the Base Year shall be restated and the Tax Excess
for all subsequent years shall be recomputed. Tenant shall pay
Landlord the amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of any such
increase in the Tax Excess within 30 days after Tenant's
receipt of a statement from Landlord.
E. Audit Rights. Tenant may, within 90 days after receiving
Landlord's statement of Expenses, give Landlord written notice
("Review Notice") that Tenant intends to review Landlord's
records of the Expenses for that calendar year. Within a
reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord
shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that
are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If
any records are maintained at a location other than the office
of the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such
other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and
shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review
Landlord's records, the agent must be with a licensed CPA
firm. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs,
expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Within 60 days after
the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have
the right to give Landlord written notice (an "Objection
Notice") stating in reasonable detail any objection to
Landlord's statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant
fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the 60 day
period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice
within the 90 day period described above, Tenant shall be
deemed to have approved Landlord's statement of Expenses and
shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses
for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely
Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in
good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant's Objection
Notice. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the
calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide
Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in
the amount of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord
and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are
greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of
any underpayment within 30 days. The records obtained by
Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall
Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord's records or to
dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and
continues to pay all Rent when due.
-9-
V. Compliance with Laws; Use.
The Premises shall be used only for the Permitted Use and for no other
use whatsoever. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the Premises for any
purpose which is illegal, dangerous to persons or property or which, in
Landlord's reasonable opinion, unreasonably disturbs any other tenants of the
Building or interferes with the operation of the Building. Tenant shall comply
with all Laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, regarding the
operation of Tenant's business and the use, condition, configuration and
occupancy of the Premises. Tenant, within 10 days after receipt, shall provide
Landlord with copies of any notices it receives regarding a violation or alleged
violation of any Laws. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the
Building attached as EXHIBIT B and such other reasonable rules and regulations
adopted by Landlord from time to time. Tenant shall also cause its agents,
contractors, subcontractors, employees, customers, and subtenants to comply with
all rules and regulations. Landlord shall not knowingly discriminate against
Tenant in Landlord's enforcement of the rules and regulations.
VI. Security Deposit.
The Security Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution
of this Lease by Tenant and shall be held by Landlord without liability for
interest (unless required by Law) as security for the performance of Tenant's
obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure
of Tenant's liability for damages. Landlord may, from time to time, without
prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to
satisfy past due Rent or to cure any uncured default by Tenant. If Landlord uses
the Security Deposit, Tenant shall on demand restore the Security Deposit to its
original amount. Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security
Deposit to Tenant within 45 days after the later to occur of: (1) the date
Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this
Lease; or (2) the Termination Date. If Landlord transfers its interest in the
Premises, Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and,
following the assignment, Landlord shall have no further liability for the
return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the
Security Deposit separate from its other accounts.
The Security Deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of
credit (the "Letter of Credit"), which Letter of Credit shall: (a) be in the
initial amount of $200,000.00; (b) be issued on the form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT F; (c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; and (d) be drawn on an FDIC
insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord. The
Letter of Credit (and any renewals or replacements thereof) shall be for a term
of not less than 1 year. Tenant agrees that it shall from time to time, as
necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Letter of Credit by Landlord
pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of the expiration of the Letter of
Credit then in effect, renew or replace the original and any subsequent Letter
of Credit so that a Letter of Credit, in the amount required hereunder, is in
effect until a date which is at least 60 days after the Termination Date of the
Lease. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at least 60 days
prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by
Landlord, Landlord may draw upon such Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds
thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) as a Security Deposit
pursuant to the terms of this Article VI. Any renewal or replacement of the
original or any subsequent Letter of Credit shall meet the requirements for the
original Letter of Credit as set forth above, except that such replacement or
renewal shall be issued by a national bank satisfactory to Landlord at the time
of the issuance thereof.
If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit as permitted in this Lease or
the Letter of Credit, then, upon demand of Landlord, Tenant shall restore the
amount available under the Letter of Credit to its original amount by providing
Landlord with an amendment to the Letter of Credit evidencing that the amount
available under the Letter of Credit has been restored to its original amount.
In the alternative, Tenant may provide Landlord with cash, to be held by
Landlord in accordance with this Article, equal to the restoration amount
required under the Letter of Credit.
-10-
Subject to the remaining terms of this Article VI, and provided Tenant
has timely paid all Rent due under this Lease during the 12 month period
immediately preceding the effective date of any reduction of the Security
Deposit, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Security
Deposit (i.e., the Letter of Credit) so that the reduced Letter of Credit
amounts will be as follows: (i) $150,000.00 effective as of the first (1st)
anniversary of the Commencement Date; and (ii) $100,000.00 effective as of the
second (2nd) anniversary of the Commencement Date. If Tenant is not entitled to
reduce the Security Deposit (i.e., the Letter of Credit) as of a particular
reduction effective date due to Tenant's failure to timely pay all Rent during
the 12 months prior to that particular reduction effective date, then any
subsequent reduction(s) Tenant is entitled to hereunder shall be reduced by the
amount of the reduction Tenant would have been entitled to had Tenant timely
paid all Rent during the 12 months prior to that particular earlier reduction
effective date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
Tenant has been in default under this Lease at any time prior to the effective
date of any reduction of the Security Deposit and Tenant has failed to cure such
default within any applicable cure period, then Tenant shall have no further
right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit (i.e. the Letter of Credit)
as described herein. Any reduction in the Letter of Credit shall be accomplished
by Tenant providing Landlord with a substitute letter of credit in the reduced
amount.
VII. Services to be Furnished by Landlord.
A. Landlord agrees to furnish Tenant with the following services:
(1) Water service for use in the lavatories on each floor on
which the Premises are located; (2) Heat and air conditioning
in season during Normal Business Hours, at such temperatures
and in such amounts as are standard for comparable buildings
or as required by governmental authority. Tenant, upon such
advance notice as is reasonably required by Landlord, shall
have the right to receive HVAC service during hours other than
Normal Business Hours. Tenant shall pay Landlord the standard
charge for the additional service as reasonably determined by
Landlord from time to time; (3) Maintenance and repair of the
Property as described in Section IX.B.; (4) Janitor service on
Business Days. If Tenant's use, floor covering or other
improvements require special services in excess of the
standard services for the Building, Tenant shall pay the
additional cost attributable to the special services; (5)
Elevator service; (6) Electricity to the Premises for general
office use, in accordance with and subject to the terms and
conditions in Article X; and (7) such other services as
Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate
for the Property.
B. Landlord's failure to furnish, or any interruption or
termination of, services due to the application of Laws, the
failure of any equipment, the performance of repairs,
improvements or alterations, or the occurrence of any event or
cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (a "Service
Failure") shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant,
constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an
abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to
fulfill any covenant or agreement. However, if the Premises,
or a material portion of the Premises, is made untenantable
for a period in excess of 3 consecutive Business Days as a
result of the Service Failure, then Tenant, as its sole
remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Rent
payable hereunder during the period beginning on the 4th
consecutive Business Day of the Service Failure and ending on
the day the service has been restored. If the entire Premises
has not been rendered untenantable by the Service Failure, the
amount of abatement that Tenant is entitled to receive shall
be prorated based upon the percentage of the Premises rendered
untenantable and not used by Tenant. In no event, however,
shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage,
including the theft of Tenant's Property (defined in Article
XV), arising out of or in connection with the failure of any
security services, personnel or equipment.
VIII. Leasehold Improvements.
All improvements to the Premises (collectively, "Leasehold
Improvements") shall be owned by Landlord and shall remain upon the Premises
without compensation to
-11-
Tenant. However, Landlord, by written notice to Tenant within 30 days prior to
the Termination Date, may require Tenant to remove, at Tenant's expense: (1)
Cable (defined in Section IX.A) installed by or for the exclusive benefit of
Tenant and located in the Premises or other portions of the Building; and (2)
any Leasehold Improvements that are performed by or for the benefit of Tenant
and, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require
removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair
costs associated with standard office improvements (collectively referred to as
"Required Removables"). Without limitation, it is agreed that Required
Removables include internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and
showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and
modifications of any type. The Required Removables designated by Landlord shall
be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date, provided that upon prior
written notice to Landlord, Tenant may remain in the Premises for up to 5 days
after the Termination Date for the sole purpose of removing the Required
Removables. Tenant's possession of the Premises shall be subject to all of the
terms and conditions of this Lease, including the obligation to pay Rent on a
per diem basis at the rate in effect for the last month of the Term. Tenant
shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required
Removables. If Tenant fails to remove any Required Removables or perform related
repairs in a timely manner, Landlord, at Tenant's expense, may remove and
dispose of the Required Removables and perform the required repairs. Tenant,
within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, shall reimburse Landlord for the
reasonable costs incurred by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at
the time it requests approval for a proposed Alteration (defined in Section
IX.C), may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration
or any portion of the Alteration will be designated as a Required Removable.
Within 10 days after receipt of Tenant's request, Landlord shall advise Tenant
in writing as to which portions of the Alteration, if any, will be considered to
be Required Removables.
IX. Repairs and Alterations.
A. Tenant's Repair Obligations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost
and expense, promptly perform all maintenance and repairs to
the Premises that are not Landlord's express responsibility
under this Lease, and shall keep the Premises in good
condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
Tenant's repair obligations include, without limitation,
repairs to: (1) floor covering; (2) interior partitions; (3)
doors; (4) the interior side of demising walls; (5)
electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment
(collectively, "Cable") that is installed by or for the
exclusive benefit of Tenant and located in the Premises or
other portions of the Building; (6) supplemental air
conditioning units, private showers and kitchens, including
hot water heaters, plumbing, and similar facilities serving
Tenant exclusively; and (7) Alterations performed by
contractors retained by Tenant, including related HVAC
balancing. All work shall be performed in accordance with the
rules and procedures described in Section IX.C. below. If
Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than
15 days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not
be required if there is an emergency), Landlord may make the
repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the
repairs to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of an
invoice, together with an administrative charge in an amount
equal to 10% of the cost of the repairs.
B. Landlord's Repair Obligations. Landlord shall keep and
maintain in good repair and working order and make repairs to
and perform maintenance upon: (1) structural elements of the
Building; (2) mechanical (including HVAC), electrical,
plumbing and fire/life safety systems serving the Building in
general; (3) Common Areas; (4) the roof of the Building; (5)
exterior windows of the Building; and (6) elevators serving
the Building. Landlord shall promptly make repairs
(considering the nature and urgency of the repair) for which
Landlord is responsible.
C. Alterations. Tenant shall not make alterations, additions or
improvements to the Premises or install any Cable in the
Premises or other portions of the Building (collectively
referred to as "Alterations") without first obtaining the
written
-12-
D. consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. However, Landlord's
consent shall not be required for any Alteration that
satisfies all of the following criteria (a "Cosmetic
Alteration"): (1) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting,
wallpapering, hanging pictures and installing carpeting; (2)
is not visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building;
(3) will not affect the systems or structure of the Building;
and (4) does not require work to be performed inside the walls
or above the ceiling of the Premises. However, even though
consent is not required, the performance of Cosmetic
Alterations shall be subject to all the other provisions of
this Section IX.C. Prior to starting work, Tenant shall
furnish Landlord with plans and specifications reasonably
acceptable to Landlord; names of contractors reasonably
acceptable to Landlord (provided that Landlord may designate
specific contractors with respect to Building systems); copies
of contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of
contractor's and subcontractor's insurance in amounts
reasonably required by Landlord; and any security for
performance that is reasonably required by Landlord. Changes
to the plans and specifications must also be submitted to
Landlord for its approval. Alterations shall be constructed in
a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a quality
that is at least equal to the quality designated by Landlord
as the minimum standard for the Building. Landlord may
designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the
performance of work in the Building and, to the extent
reasonably necessary to avoid disruption to the occupants of
the Building, shall have the right to designate the time when
Alterations may be performed. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
within 30 days after receipt of an invoice for sums paid by
Landlord for third party examination of Tenant's plans for
non-Cosmetic Alterations. In addition, within 30 days after
receipt of an invoice from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord
a fee for Landlord's oversight and coordination of any
non-Cosmetic Alterations equal to 10% of the cost of the
non-Cosmetic Alterations. Upon completion, Tenant shall
furnish "as-built" plans (except for Cosmetic Alterations),
completion affidavits, full and final waivers of lien and
receipted bills covering all labor and materials. Tenant shall
assure that the Alterations comply with all insurance
requirements and Laws. Landlord's approval of an Alteration
shall not be a representation by Landlord that the Alteration
complies with applicable Laws or will be adequate for Tenant's
use.
X. Use of Electrical Services by Tenant.
A. Electricity consumed by Tenant in the Premises shall be paid
for by Tenant as Additional Rent in accordance with the terms
of this Article X. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional
Rent, a Premises Electric Charge (defined below) of $.95 per
square foot per annum (i.e., assuming 6,858 square feet, the
Premises Electric Charge would be $542.93 per month/$6,515.10
per annum). The Premises Electric Charge may be adjusted from
time to time as provided below, provided that the Premises
Electric Charge shall not be reduced below the annual per
square foot amount described above. "Premises Electric Charge"
means the amount determined by applying the estimated
connected electrical load and usage in the Premises (as
initially estimated by Landlord or later determined by the
electrical consultant or based on meter readings or other
measurement), to the rate charged for the load and usage in
the service classification in effect from time to time under
which Landlord purchased electric current for the entire
Building. If the cost to Landlord of electricity shall have
been, or shall be, increased after the Commencement Date
(whether by change in Landlord's electric rates, charges, fuel
adjustment, service classification, by taxes or charges of any
kind, or for any other reason), the Premises Electric Charge
shall be increased proportionately. Landlord may from time to
time conduct surveys in the Premises of the electrical
equipment and fixtures and use of current, and, based upon the
surveys, Landlord may adjust the Premises Electric Charge.
B. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select any company
providing electrical service to the Premises, to aggregate the
electrical service for the Building and Premises with other
buildings, to purchase electricity through a broker and/or
buyers group and to change the providers and manner of
purchasing electricity.
-13-
Landlord shall be entitled to receive a fee (if permitted by
Law) for the selection of utility companies and the
negotiation and administration of contracts for electricity,
provided that the amount of such fee shall not exceed 50% of
any savings obtained by Landlord.
C. Tenant's use of electrical service shall not exceed, either in
voltage, rated capacity, use beyond Normal Business Hours or
overall load, that which Landlord deems to be standard for the
Building. If Tenant requests permission to consume excess
electrical service, Landlord may refuse to consent or may
condition consent upon conditions that Landlord reasonably
elects (including, without limitation, the installation of
utility service upgrades, meters, submeters, air handlers or
cooling units), and the additional usage (to the extent
permitted by Law), installation and maintenance costs shall be
paid by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to separately
meter electrical usage for the Premises and to measure
electrical usage by survey or other commonly accepted methods.
XI. Entry by Landlord.
Landlord, its agents, contractors and representatives may enter the
Premises to inspect or show the Premises, to clean and make repairs, alterations
or additions to the Premises, and to conduct or facilitate repairs, alterations
or additions to any portion of the Building, including other tenants' premises.
Except in emergencies or to provide janitorial and other Building services after
Normal Business Hours, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior
notice of entry into the Premises, which may be given orally. If reasonably
necessary for the protection and safety of Tenant and its employees, Landlord
shall have the right to temporarily close all or a portion of the Premises to
perform repairs, alterations and additions. However, except in emergencies,
Landlord will not close the Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on
weekends and after Normal Business Hours. Entry by Landlord shall not constitute
constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.
XII. Assignment and Subletting.
A. Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in
Section XII.E. below), Tenant shall not assign, sublease,
transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow any
third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively
or individually, a "Transfer") without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld if Landlord does not elect to exercise its
termination rights under Section XII.B below. Without
limitation, it is agreed that Landlord's consent shall not be
considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed
transferee's financial condition does not meet the criteria
Landlord uses to select Building tenants having similar
leasehold obligations; (2) the proposed transferee's business
is not suitable for the Building considering the business of
the other tenants and the Building's prestige, or would result
in a violation of another tenant's rights; (3) the proposed
transferee is a governmental agency or occupant of the
Building ; (4) Tenant is in default after the expiration of
the notice and cure periods in this Lease; or (5) any portion
of the Building or Premises would likely become subject to
additional or different Laws as a consequence of the proposed
Transfer. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary
damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld
its consent to a proposed Transfer and Tenant's sole remedy
shall be an action to enforce any such provision through
specific performance or declaratory judgment. Any attempted
Transfer in violation of this Article shall, at Landlord's
option, be void. Consent by Landlord to one or more
Transfer(s) shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights
to approve any subsequent Transfers. In no event shall any
Transfer or Permitted Transfer release or relieve Tenant from
any obligation under this Lease.
B. As part of its request for Landlord's consent to a Transfer,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for
the proposed transferee, a complete copy of the proposed
assignment, sublease and other contractual documents and such
other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord
shall, by written notice to Tenant within 30 days of its
receipt of the required information and
-14-
documentation, either: (1) consent to the Transfer by the
execution of a consent agreement in a form reasonably
designated by Landlord or reasonably refuse to consent to the
Transfer in writing; or (2) exercise its right to terminate
this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises that
Tenant is proposing to assign or sublet. Any such termination
shall be effective on the proposed effective date of the
Transfer for which Tenant requested consent. Tenant shall pay
Landlord a review fee of $3,000.00 for Landlord's review of
any Permitted Transfer or requested Transfer, provided if
Landlord's actual reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees) exceed $3,000.00, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for its actual reasonable costs and
expenses in lieu of a fixed review fee.
C. Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of all rent and other
consideration which Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer
that is in excess of the Rent payable to Landlord for the
portion of the Premises and Term covered by the Transfer.
Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord's share of any excess
within 30 days after Tenant's receipt of such excess
consideration. Tenant may deduct from the excess all
reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant
attributable to the Transfer (other than Landlord's review
fee), including brokerage fees, legal fees and construction
costs. If Tenant is in Monetary Default (defined in Section
XIX.A. below), Landlord may require that all sublease payments
be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall
receive a credit against Rent in the amount of any payments
received (less Landlord's share of any excess).
D. Except as provided below with respect to a Permitted Transfer,
if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, or similar entity, and if the entity which owns
or controls a majority of the voting shares/rights at any time
changes for any reason (including but not limited to a merger,
consolidation or reorganization), such change of ownership or
control shall constitute a Transfer. The foregoing shall not
apply so long as Tenant is an entity whose outstanding stock
is listed on a recognized security exchange, or if at least
80% of its voting stock is owned by another entity, the voting
stock of which is so listed.
E. Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease to a
successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or
reorganization without the consent of Landlord, provided that
all of the following conditions are satisfied (a "Permitted
Transfer"): (1) Tenant is not in default under this Lease; (2)
Tenant's successor shall own all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant; (3) Tenant's successor shall have a net
worth which is at least equal to the greater of Tenant's net
worth at the date of this Lease or Tenant's net worth as of
the day prior to the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation
or reorganization; (4) the Permitted Use does not allow the
Premises to be used for retail purposes; and (5) Tenant shall
give Landlord written notice at least 30 days prior to the
effective date of the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation
or reorganization. Tenant's notice to Landlord shall include
information and documentation showing that each of the above
conditions has been satisfied. If requested by Landlord,
Tenant's successor shall sign a commercially reasonable form
of assumption agreement.
XIII. Liens.
Tenant shall not permit mechanic's or other liens to be placed upon the
Property, Premises or Tenant's leasehold interest in connection with any work or
service done or purportedly done by or for benefit of Tenant. If a lien is so
placed, Tenant shall, within 10 days of notice from Landlord of the filing of
the lien, fully discharge the lien by settling the claim which resulted in the
lien or by bonding or insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the
applicable lien Law. If Tenant fails to discharge the lien, then, in addition to
any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or insure over the lien
or otherwise discharge the lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount
paid by Landlord to bond or insure over the lien or discharge the lien,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (if and to the extent
permitted by Law) within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord.
XIV. Indemnity and Waiver of Claims.
-15-
A. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties
(defined below), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold
Landlord, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries,
partners, officers, directors, employees, Mortgagee(s)
(defined in Article XXVI) and agents ("Landlord Related
Parties") harmless against and from all liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs,
charges and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and other professional fees (if and
to the extent permitted by Law), which may be imposed upon,
incurred by or asserted against Landlord or any of the
Landlord Related Parties and arising out of or in connection
with any damage or injury occurring in the Premises or any
acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Tenant, the
Tenant Related Parties (defined below) or any of Tenant's
transferees, contractors or licensees.
B. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties (defined
below), Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its
trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners,
officers, directors, employees and agents ("Tenant Related
Parties") harmless against and from all liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs,
charges and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and other professional fees (if and
to the extent permitted by Law), which may be imposed upon,
incurred by or asserted against Tenant or any of the Tenant
Related Parties and arising out of or in connection with the
acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Landlord,
the Landlord Related Parties or any of Landlord's contractors.
C. Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties shall not be liable
for, and Tenant waives, all claims for loss or damage to
Tenant's business or loss, theft or damage to Tenant's
Property or the property of any person claiming by, through or
under Tenant resulting from: (1) wind or weather; (2) the
failure of any sprinkler, heating or air-conditioning
equipment, any electric wiring or any gas, water or steam
pipes; (3) the backing up of any sewer pipe or downspout; (4)
the bursting, leaking or running of any tank, water closet,
drain or other pipe; (5) water, snow or ice upon or coming
through the roof, skylight, stairs, doorways, windows, walks
or any other place upon or near the Building; (6) any act or
omission of any party other than Landlord or Landlord Related
Parties; and (7) any causes not reasonably within the control
of Landlord. Tenant shall insure itself against such losses
under Article XV below.
XV. Insurance.
Tenant shall carry and maintain the following insurance ("Tenant's
Insurance"), at its sole cost and expense: (1) Commercial General Liability
Insurance applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances providing, on an
occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of $2,000,000.00; (2) All Risk
Property/Business Interruption Insurance, including flood and earthquake,
written at replacement cost value and with a replacement cost endorsement
covering all of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, furniture and other personal
property within the Premises ("Tenant's Property"); (3) Workers' Compensation
Insurance as required by the state in which the Premises is located and in
amounts as may be required by applicable statute; and (4) Employers Liability
Coverage of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence. Any company writing any of
Tenant's Insurance shall have an A.M. Best rating of not less than A-VIII. All
Commercial General Liability Insurance policies shall name Tenant as a named
insured and Landlord (or any successor), Equity Office Properties Trust, a
Maryland real estate investment trust, EOP Operating Limited Partnership, a
Delaware limited partnership, and their respective members, principals,
beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, and agents, and other
designees of Landlord as the interest of such designees shall appear, as
additional insureds. All policies of Tenant's Insurance shall contain
endorsements that the insurer(s) shall give Landlord and its designees at least
30 days' advance written notice of any change, cancellation, termination or
lapse of insurance. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of
insurance evidencing Tenant's Insurance prior to the earlier to occur of the
Commencement Date or the date Tenant is
-16-
provided with possession of the Premises for any reason, and upon renewals at
least 15 days prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage. So long as the
same is available at commercially reasonable rates, Landlord shall maintain so
called All Risk property insurance on the Building at replacement cost value, as
reasonably estimated by Landlord. Except as specifically provided to the
contrary, the limits of either party's' insurance shall not limit such party's
liability under this Lease.
XVI. Subrogation.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and
Tenant shall cause their respective insurance carriers to waive any and all
rights of recovery, claim, action or causes of action against the other and
their respective trustees, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers,
directors, agents, and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to
Landlord or Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to Tenant's Property, the Building, the
Premises, any additions or improvements to the Building or Premises, or any
contents thereof, including all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of
action arising out of the negligence of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties
or the negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, which loss or damage
is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been carried)
covered by insurance.
XVII. Casualty Damage.
A. If all or any part of the Premises is damaged by fire or other
casualty, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing.
During any period of time that all or a material portion of
the Premises is rendered untenantable as a result of a fire or
other casualty, the Rent shall abate for the portion of the
Premises that is untenantable and not used by Tenant. Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the
Building shall be damaged so that, in Landlord's reasonable
judgment, substantial alteration or reconstruction of the
Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises has
been damaged); (2) Landlord is not permitted by Law to rebuild
the Building in substantially the same form as existed before
the fire or casualty; (3) the Premises have been materially
damaged and there is less than 2 years of the Term remaining
on the date of the casualty; (4) any Mortgagee requires that
the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the
mortgage debt; or (5) a material uninsured loss to the
Building occurs. Landlord may exercise its right to terminate
this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing within 90 days after
the date of the casualty. If Landlord does not terminate this
Lease, Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable
diligence to repair and restore the Building and the Leasehold
Improvements (excluding any Alterations that were performed by
Tenant in violation of this Lease). However, in no event shall
Landlord be required to spend more than the insurance proceeds
received by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any
loss or damage to Tenant's Property or to the business of
Tenant resulting in any way from the fire or other casualty or
from the repair and restoration of the damage. Landlord and
Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any Law relating to the
matters addressed in this Article, and agree that their
respective rights for damage to or destruction of the Premises
shall be those specifically provided in this Lease.
B. If all or any portion of the Premises shall be made
untenantable by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, with
reasonable promptness, cause an architect or general
contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant
with a written estimate of the amount of time required to
substantially complete the repair and restoration of the
Premises and make the Premises tenantable again, using
standard working methods ("Completion Estimate"). If the
Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises cannot be made
tenantable within 270 days from the date the repair and
restoration is started, then regardless of anything in Section
XVII.A above to the contrary, either party shall have the
right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the
other of such election within 10 days after receipt of the
Completion Estimate. Tenant, however, shall not have the right
to terminate this Lease if the fire or casualty was caused by
the
-17-
negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant, Tenant Related
Parties or any of Tenant's transferees, contractors or
licensees.
XVIII. Condemnation.
Either party may terminate this Lease if the whole or any material part
of the Premises shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use
under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a "Taking").
Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking
of any portion of the Building or Property which would leave the remainder of
the Building unsuitable for use as an office building in a manner comparable to
the Building's use prior to the Taking. In order to exercise its right to
terminate the Lease, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, must provide
written notice of termination to the other within 45 days after the terminating
party first receives notice of the Taking. Any such termination shall be
effective as of the date the physical taking of the Premises or the portion of
the Building or Property occurs. If this Lease is not terminated, the Rentable
Square Footage of the Building, the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises and
Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall, if applicable, be appropriately adjusted. In
addition, Rent for any portion of the Premises taken or condemned shall be
abated during the unexpired Term of this Lease effective when the physical
taking of the portion of the Premises occurs. All compensation awarded for a
Taking, or sale proceeds, shall be the property of Landlord, any right to
receive compensation or proceeds being expressly waived by Tenant. However,
Tenant may file a separate claim at its sole cost and expense for Tenant's
Property and Tenant's reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the
claim does not diminish the award which would otherwise be receivable by
Landlord.
XIX. Events of Default.
Tenant shall be considered to be in default of this Lease upon the
occurrence of any of the following events of default:
A. Tenant's failure to pay when due all or any portion of the
Rent, if the failure continues for 3 Business Days after
written notice to Tenant ("Monetary Default").
B. Tenant's failure (other than a Monetary Default) to comply
with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease, if the
failure is not cured within 10 Business Days after written
notice to Tenant. However, if Tenant's failure to comply
cannot reasonably be cured within 10 Business Days, Tenant
shall be allowed additional time (not to exceed 60 days) as is
reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as: (1)
Tenant commences to cure the failure within 10 Business Days,
and (2) Tenant diligently pursues a course of action that will
cure the failure and bring Tenant back into compliance with
the Lease. However, if Tenant's failure to comply creates a
hazardous condition, the failure must be cured immediately
upon notice to Tenant. In addition, if Landlord provides
Tenant with notice of Tenant's failure to comply with any
particular term, provision or covenant of the Lease on 3
occasions during any 12 month period, Tenant's subsequent
violation of such term, provision or covenant shall, at
Landlord's option, be an incurable event of default by Tenant.
C. Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in
fraud of creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
when due.
D. The leasehold estate is taken by process or operation of Law.
E. Tenant is in default beyond any notice and cure period under
any other lease or agreement with Landlord, including, without
limitation, any lease or agreement for parking.
XX. Remedies.
-18-
A. Upon any default, Landlord shall have the right without notice
or demand (except as provided in Article XIX) to pursue any of
its rights and remedies at Law or in equity, including any one
or more of the following remedies:
1. Terminate this Lease, in which case Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If
Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord may,
in compliance with applicable Law and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy, enter upon
and take possession of the Premises and expel and
remove Tenant, Tenant's Property and any party
occupying all or any part of the Premises. Tenant
shall pay Landlord on demand the amount of all past
due Rent and other losses and damages which Landlord
may suffer as a result of Tenant's default, whether
by Landlord's inability to relet the Premises on
satisfactory terms or otherwise, including, without
limitation, all Costs of Reletting (defined below)
and any deficiency that may arise from reletting or
the failure to relet the Premises. "Costs of
Reletting" shall include all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in reletting or attempting to
relet the Premises, including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees, brokerage commissions, the
cost of alterations and the value of other
concessions or allowances granted to a new tenant.
2. Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises and, in compliance with applicable Law,
expel and remove Tenant, Tenant's Property and any
parties occupying all or any part of the Premises.
Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) relet
all or any part of the Premises, without notice to
Tenant, for a term that may be greater or less than
the balance of the Term and on such conditions (which
may include concessions, free rent and alterations of
the Premises) and for such uses as Landlord in its
absolute discretion shall determine. Landlord may
collect and receive all rents and other income from
the reletting. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand
all past due Rent, all Costs of Reletting and any
deficiency arising from the reletting or failure to
relet the Premises. Landlord shall not be responsible
or liable for the failure to relet all or any part of
the Premises or for the failure to collect any Rent.
The re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises
shall not be construed as an election by Landlord to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of
termination is given to Tenant.
3. In lieu of calculating damages under Sections XX.A.1
or XX.A.2 above, Landlord may elect to receive as
damages the sum of (a) all Rent accrued through the
date of termination of this Lease or Tenant's right
to possession, and (b) an amount equal to the total
Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for
the remainder of the Term discounted to present value
at the Prime Rate (defined in Section XX.B. below)
then in effect, minus the then present fair rental
value of the Premises for the remainder of the Term,
similarly discounted, after deducting all anticipated
Costs of Reletting.
B. Unless expressly provided in this Lease, the repossession or
re-entering of all or any part of the Premises shall not
relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under the
Lease. No right or remedy of Landlord shall be exclusive of
any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other right and remedy now
or subsequently available to Landlord at Law or in equity. If
Landlord declares Tenant to be in default, Landlord shall be
entitled to receive interest on any unpaid item of Rent at a
rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 4%. For purposes hereof, the
"Prime Rate" shall be the per annum interest rate publicly
announced as its prime or base rate by a federally insured
bank selected by Landlord in the state in which the Building
is located. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more
remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any default.
XXI. Limitation of Liability.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE
LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR
-19-
LANDLORD) TO TENANT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE
PROPERTY. TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR
THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST LANDLORD. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY
LANDLORD RELATED PARTY SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR
DEFICIENCY. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL
GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S) (DEFINED IN ARTICLE XXVI BELOW) WHOM TENANT
HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES (DEFINED IN ARTICLE XXVI BELOW) ON THE
PROPERTY, BUILDING OR PREMISES, NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED
DEFAULT.
XXII. No Waiver.
Either party's failure to declare a default immediately upon its
occurrence, or delay in taking action for a default shall not constitute a
waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel. Either party's
failure to enforce its rights for a default shall not constitute a waiver of its
rights regarding any subsequent default. Receipt by Landlord of Tenant's keys to
the Premises shall not constitute an acceptance or surrender of the Premises.
XXIII. Quiet Enjoyment.
Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises,
subject to the terms of this Lease, provided Tenant pays the Rent and fully
performs all of its covenants and agreements. This covenant and all other
covenants of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only
during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Building, and shall
not be a personal covenant of Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties.
XXIV. Relocation.
Landlord, at its expense, at any time before or during the Term, may
relocate Tenant from the Premises to reasonably comparable space ("Relocation
Space") within the Building or adjacent buildings within the same project upon
60 days' prior written notice to Tenant. From and after the date of the
relocation, "Premises" shall refer to the Relocation Space into which Tenant has
been moved and the Base Rent and Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted based
on the rentable square footage of the Relocation Space. Landlord shall pay
Tenant's reasonable costs for moving Tenant's furniture and equipment and
printing and distributing notices to Tenant's customers of Tenant's change of
address and a supply of stationery in the then current reasonable amount
possessed by Tenant showing the new address.
XXV. Holding Over.
Except for any permitted occupancy by Tenant under Article VIII, if
Tenant fails to surrender the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, occupancy of the Premises after the termination or expiration
shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant's occupancy of the Premises
during the holdover shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this
Lease and Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for
partial months during the holdover) equal to 150% of the greater of: (1) the sum
of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding
the holdover; or (2) the fair market gross rental for the Premises as reasonably
determined by Landlord. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the
expiration or early termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the
Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises
by summary proceedings or otherwise. In addition to the payment of the amounts
provided above, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a
new tenant, or to perform improvements for a new tenant, as a result of Tenant's
holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises within 15 days after Landlord
notifies Tenant of Landlord's inability to deliver possession, or perform
improvements, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages, including,
without limitation, consequential damages, that Landlord suffers from the
holdover.
-20-
XXVI. Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate.
Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s),
deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising
upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications,
refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a "Mortgage").
The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a
"Mortgagee". This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a
Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination
agreement in favor of the Mortgagee. In lieu of having the Mortgage be superior
to this Lease, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its
Mortgage to this Lease. If requested by a successor-in-interest to all or a part
of Landlord's interest in the Lease, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to the
successor-in-interest. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 days after
receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver an estoppel
certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including
a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). The estoppel certificate shall include a
statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified (except as identified in the
estoppel certificate) and in full force and effect, describing the dates to
which Rent and other charges have been paid, representing that, to such party's
actual knowledge, there is no default (or stating the nature of the alleged
default) and indicating other matters with respect to the Lease that may
reasonably be requested.
XXVII. Attorneys' Fees.
If either party institutes a suit against the other for violation of or
to enforce any covenant or condition of this Lease, or if either party
intervenes in any suit in which the other is a party to enforce or protect its
interest or rights, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all of its costs
and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.
XXVIII. Notice.
If a demand, request, approval, consent or notice (collectively
referred to as a "notice") shall or may be given to either party by the other,
the notice shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered or
certified mail with return receipt requested, or sent by overnight or same day
courier service at the party's respective Notice Address(es) set forth in
Article I, except that if Tenant has vacated the Premises (or if the Notice
Address for Tenant is other than the Premises, and Tenant has vacated such
address) without providing Landlord a new Notice Address, Landlord may serve
notice in any manner described in this Article or in any other manner permitted
by Law. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received or given on the
earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused,
or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or the other Notice Address of Tenant
without providing a new Notice Address, three (3) days after notice is deposited
in the U.S. mail or with a courier service in the manner described above. Either
party may, at any time, change its Notice Address by giving the other party
written notice of the new address in the manner described in this Article.
XXIX. Excepted Rights.
This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the
Building. Landlord excepts and reserves exclusively to itself the use of: (1)
roofs, (2) telephone, electrical and janitorial closets, (3) equipment rooms,
Building risers or similar areas that are used by Landlord for the provision of
Building services, (4) rights to the land and improvements below the floor of
the Premises, (5) the improvements and air rights above the Premises, (6) the
improvements and air rights outside the demising walls of the Premises, and (7)
the areas within the Premises used for the installation of utility lines and
other installations serving occupants of the Building. Landlord has the right to
change the Building's name or address. Landlord also has the right to make such
other changes to the Property and Building as Landlord deems appropriate,
provided the changes do not materially affect Tenant's ability to use the
Premises for the Permitted Use. Landlord shall also have the right (but not the
obligation) to temporarily close the Building if Landlord reasonably determines
that there is an imminent danger of
-21-
significant damage to the Building or of personal injury to Landlord's employees
or the occupants of the Building. The circumstances under which Landlord may
temporarily close the Building shall include, without limitation, electrical
interruptions, hurricanes and civil disturbances. A closure of the Building
under such circumstances shall not constitute a constructive eviction nor
entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.
XXX. Surrender of Premises.
At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant's
right of possession, Tenant shall remove Tenant's Property (defined in Article
XV) from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom
clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted.
Tenant shall also be required to remove the Required Removables in accordance
with Article VIII. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant's Property within 2
days after the termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession,
Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not
obligated) to remove and store Tenant's Property. Landlord shall not be
responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant's Property.
Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the expenses and storage charges
incurred for Tenant's Property. In addition, if Tenant fails to remove Tenant's
Property from the Premises or storage, as the case may be, within 30 days after
written notice, Landlord may deem all or any part of Tenant's Property to be
abandoned, and title to Tenant's Property shall be deemed to be immediately
vested in Landlord.
XXXI. Miscellaneous.
A. This Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties shall
be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the
Laws of the state in which the Building is located and
Landlord and Tenant hereby irrevocably consent to the
jurisdiction and proper venue of such state. If any term or
provision of this Lease shall to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be
affected, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law. The headings
and titles to the Articles and Sections of this Lease are for
convenience only and shall have no effect on the
interpretation of any part of the Lease.
B. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum without
Landlord's prior written consent.
C. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right to trial by jury in
any proceeding based upon a breach of this Lease.
D. Whenever this Lease requires the taking of an action by
Landlord or Tenant, the period of time for the performance of
such action shall be extended by (or, if no time period is
specified, the performance of such action shall be forgiven
for) the number of days that the performance is actually
delayed due to strikes, acts of God, shortages of labor or
materials, war, civil disturbances and other causes beyond the
reasonable control of the performing party ("Force Majeure").
However, events of Force Majeure shall not extend any period
of time for the payment of Rent or other sums payable by
either party or any period of time for the written exercise of
any option or right by either party.
E. Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole
or in part, all of its rights and obligations under this Lease
and in the Building and/or Property referred to herein, and
upon such transfer Landlord shall be released from any further
obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to the
successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such
obligations.
F. Tenant represents that it has dealt directly with and only
with the Broker as a broker in connection with this Lease.
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and the Landlord
Related Parties harmless from all claims of any other brokers
claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this
Lease. Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant and the
Tenant Related Parties harmless
-22-
from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented
Landlord in connection with this Lease.
G. Tenant covenants, warrants and represents that: (1) each
individual executing, attesting and/or delivering this Lease
on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so on behalf of
Tenant; (2) this Lease is binding upon Tenant; and (3) Tenant
is duly organized and legally existing in the state of its
organization and is qualified to do business in the state in
which the Premises are located. If there is more than one
Tenant, or if Tenant is comprised of more than one party or
entity, the obligations imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and
several obligations of all the parties and entities. Notices,
payments and agreements given or made by, with or to any one
person or entity shall be deemed to have been given or made
by, with and to all of them.
H. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant's exercise of
any expansion, renewal or extension rights granted to Tenant.
This Lease shall create only the relationship of landlord and
tenant between the parties, and not a partnership, joint
venture or any other relationship. This Lease and the
covenants and conditions in this Lease shall inure only to the
benefit of and be binding only upon Landlord and Tenant and
their permitted successors and assigns.
I. The expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time or
otherwise, shall not relieve either party of any obligations
which accrued prior to or which may continue to accrue after
the expiration or early termination of this Lease. Without
limiting the scope of the prior sentence, it is agreed that
Tenant's obligations under Sections IV.A, IV.B., VIII, XIV,
XX, XXV and XXX shall survive the expiration or early
termination of this Lease.
J. Landlord has delivered a copy of this Lease to Tenant for
Tenant's review only, and the delivery of it does not
constitute an offer to Tenant or an option. This Lease shall
not be effective against any party hereto until an original
copy of this Lease has been signed by such party.
K. All understandings and agreements previously made between the
parties are superseded by this Lease, and neither party is
relying upon any warranty, statement or representation not
contained in this Lease. This Lease may be modified only by a
written agreement signed by Landlord and Tenant.
L. Tenant, within 15 days after request, shall provide Landlord
with a current financial statement and such other information
as Landlord may reasonably request in order to create a
"business profile" of Tenant and determine Tenant's ability to
fulfill its obligations under this Lease. Landlord, however,
shall not require Tenant to provide such information unless
Landlord is requested to produce the information in connection
with a proposed financing or sale of the Building. Upon
written request by Tenant, Landlord shall enter into a
commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement covering any
confidential information that is disclosed by Tenant.
XXXII. Entire Agreement.
This Lease and the following exhibits and attachments constitute the
entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings related to the Premises, including all lease proposals, letters
of intent and other documents: EXHIBIT A (Outline and Location of Premises),
EXHIBIT B (Rules and Regulations), EXHIBIT C (Commencement Letter), EXHIBIT D
(Work Letter Agreement), EXHIBIT E (Additional Provisions) and EXHIBIT F (Form
of Letter of Credit).
Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the day and year
first above written.

EXHIBIT D
WORK LETTER
This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease and is entered
into by and between EOP-ONE CANAL PARK, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company ("Landlord") and ACCRUE SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Tenant") for space in the Building located at One Canal Park, Cambridge,
Massachusetts.
As used in this Workletter, the "Premises" shall be deemed to mean the Premises,
as initially defined in the attached Lease.
1. This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant
with respect to the improvements to be performed in the Premises for
Tenant's use. All improvements described in this Work Letter to be
constructed in and upon the Premises by Landlord are hereinafter
referred to as the "Landlord Work." It is agreed that construction of
the Landlord Work will be completed at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
subject to the Allowance (as defined below). Landlord shall enter into
a direct contract for the Landlord Work with a general contractor
selected by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to
select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the
Landlord Work.
2. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the timely preparation and
submission to Landlord of the final architectural, electrical and
mechanical construction drawings, plans and specifications (called
"Plans") necessary to construct the Landlord Work, which plans shall be
subject to approval by Landlord and Landlord's architect and engineers
and shall comply with their requirements to avoid aesthetic or other
conflicts with the design and function of the balance of the Building.
Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant's
plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law,
functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the
configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant's furniture,
appliances and equipment), and Landlord's approval of Tenant's plans
shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design.
If requested by Tenant, Landlord's architect will prepare the Plans
necessary for such construction at Tenant's cost. Whether or not the
layout and Plans are prepared with the help (in whole or in part) of
Landlord's architect, Tenant agrees to remain solely responsible for
the timely preparation and submission of the Plans and for all elements
of the design of such Plans and for all costs related thereto. Tenant
has assured itself by direct communication with the architect and
engineers (Landlord's or its own, as the case may be) that the final
approved Plans can be delivered to Landlord on or before March 8, 2002
(the "Plans Due Date"), provided that Tenant promptly furnishes
complete information concerning its requirements to said architect and
engineers as and when requested by them. Tenant covenants and agrees to
cause said final, approved Plans to be delivered to Landlord on or
before said Plans Due Date and to devote such time as may be necessary
in consultation with said architect and engineers to enable them to
complete and submit the Plans within the required time limit. Time is
of the essence in respect of preparation and submission of Plans by
Tenant. If the Plans are not fully completed and approved by the Plans
Due Date, Tenant shall be responsible for one day of Tenant Delay (as
defined in the Lease to which this Exhibit is attached) for each day
during the period beginning on the day following the Plans Due Date and
ending on the date completed Plans are approved. (The word "architect"
as used in this Exhibit shall include an interior designer or space
planner.)
3. If Landlord's estimate and/or the actual cost of construction shall
exceed the Allowance, Landlord, prior to commencing any construction of
Landlord Work, shall submit to Tenant a written estimate setting forth
the anticipated cost of the Landlord Work, including but not limited to
labor and materials, contractor's fees and permit fees. Within 3
Business Days thereafter, Tenant shall either notify
-30-
Landlord in writing of its approval of the cost estimate, or specify
its objections thereto and any desired changes to the proposed Landlord
Work. If Tenant notifies Landlord of such objections and desired
changes, Tenant shall work with Landlord to reach a mutually acceptable
alternative cost estimate.
4 If Landlord's estimate and/or the actual cost of construction shall
exceed the Allowance, if any (such amounts exceeding the Allowance
being herein referred to as the "Excess Costs"), Tenant shall pay to
Landlord such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax
thereon, upon demand. The statements of costs submitted to Landlord by
Landlord's contractors shall be conclusive for purposes of determining
the actual cost of the items described therein. The amounts payable by
Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the
failure to timely pay same constitutes an event of default under the
Lease.
5. If Tenant shall request any change, addition or alteration in any of
the Plans after approval by Landlord, Landlord shall have such
revisions to the drawings prepared, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for the cost thereof, plus any applicable state sales or use tax
thereon, upon demand. Promptly upon completion of the revisions,
Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost which
will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such change, addition or
deletion. Tenant, within one Business Day, shall notify Landlord in
writing whether it desires to proceed with such change, addition or
deletion. In the absence of such written authorization, Landlord shall
have the option to continue work on the Premises disregarding the
requested change, addition or alteration, or Landlord may elect to
discontinue work on the Premises until it receives notice of Tenant's
decision, in which event Tenant shall be responsible for any Tenant
Delay in completion of the Premises resulting therefrom. If such
revisions result in a higher estimate of the cost of construction
and/or higher actual construction costs which exceed the Allowance,
such increased estimate or costs shall be deemed Excess Costs pursuant
to Paragraph 4 hereof and Tenant shall pay such Excess Costs, plus any
applicable state sales or use tax thereon, upon demand.
6. Following approval of the Plans and the payment by Tenant of the
required portion of the Excess Costs, if any, Landlord shall cause the
Landlord Work to be constructed substantially in accordance with the
approved Plans. Landlord shall notify Tenant of substantial completion
of the Landlord Work.
7. Landlord, provided Tenant is not in default, agrees to provide Tenant
with an allowance (the "Allowance") in an amount not to exceed
$41,148.00 (i.e., $6.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) to be
applied toward the cost of the Landlord Work in the Premises. If the
Allowance shall not be sufficient to complete the Landlord Work, Tenant
shall pay the Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax
thereon, as prescribed in Paragraph 4 above. Any portion of the
Allowance which exceeds the cost of the Landlord Work or is otherwise
remaining after December 31, 2002, shall accrue to the sole benefit of
Landlord, it being agreed that Tenant shall not be entitled to any
credit, offset, abatement or payment with respect thereto. Landlord
shall be entitled to deduct from the Allowance a construction
management fee for Landlord's oversight of the Landlord Work in an
amount equal to 3% of the total cost of the Landlord Work.
8. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space
added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any
options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original
Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or
extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options
under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease
or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.

EXHIBIT E
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease and is entered
into by and between EOP-ONE CANAL PARK, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company ("Landlord") and ACCRUE SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Tenant") for space in the Building located at One Canal Park, Cambridge,
Massachusetts.
1. PARKING
A. Tenant shall have the right to use up to seven (7) parking spaces
available for Tenant's use in the City of Cambridge Garage located on First
Street, Cambridge Massachusetts ("Garage"). Said parking spaces will be on an
unassigned, non-reserved basis.
B. Landlord shall have the right, at any time during the Lease Term
upon thirty (30) days' notice, to relocate the parking spaces from the Garage to
another location within reasonable proximity to the Building ("Relocated
Garage").
C. During the initial Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional
Rent in accordance with Article IV of the Lease, the sum of $195.00 per month,
plus applicable tax thereon, if any, for each unreserved Space leased by Tenant
hereunder, as such rates may be adjusted from time-to-time to reflect the then
current rate for parking in the Garage.
D. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord neither owns nor operates the
Garage, nor the Relocated Garage, as the case may be. Accordingly, Landlord
shall not be liable for any interruption in the use or temporary closure of the
Garage, or the Relocated Garage, as the case may be, or for any loss, injury or
damage to persons using the Garage, or the Relocated Garage, as the case may be,
or automobiles or other property therein, it being agreed that, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the use of the Garage, or the Relocated Garage, as the
case may be, shall be at the sole risk of Tenant and its employees. Furthermore,
Landlord shall not be responsible for money, jewelry, automobiles or other
personal property lost in or stolen from the Garage, or the Relocated Garage, as
the case may be, regardless of whether such loss or theft occurs when the
Garage, or Relocated Garage, as the case may be, or other areas therein are
locked or otherwise secured against entry.
E. Tenant shall comply with and cause its employees to comply with any
rules and regulations which apply to the Garage, or the Relocated Garage, as the
case may be.
F. Tenant shall have no right to sublet, assign, or otherwise transfer
said parking spaces or any parking passes relating thereto, other than in
connection with a Permitted Transfer. Landlord shall have the right to terminate
Tenant's parking rights with respect to any parking spaces (or passes) that
Tenant sublets, assigns or transfers, other than in connection with a Permitted
Transfer.
2. RENEWAL OPTION
A. Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the right to
extend the Term (the "Renewal Option") for one additional
period of 3 years commencing on the day following the
Termination Date of the initial Term and ending on the 3rd
anniversary of the Termination Date (the "Renewal Term"), if:
1. Landlord receives notice of exercise ("Initial
Renewal Notice") not less than 6 full calendar months
prior to the expiration of the initial Term and not
more than 12 full calendar months prior to the
expiration of the initial Term; and
-32-
2. Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any
applicable cure periods at the time that Tenant
delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the time
Tenant delivers its Binding Notice (as defined
below); and
3. No part of the Premises is sublet (other than
pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in
Article XII of the Lease) at the time that Tenant
delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the time
Tenant delivers its Binding Notice; and
4. The Lease has not been assigned (other than pursuant
to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Article XII of
the Lease) prior to the date that Tenant delivers its
Initial Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant
delivers its Binding Notice.
B. Terms Applicable to Premises During Renewal Term.
1. The initial Base Rent rate per rentable square foot
for the Premises during the Renewal Term shall equal
the Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate per
rentable square foot for the Premises. Base Rent
during the Renewal Term shall increase, if at all, in
accordance with the increases assumed in the
determination of Prevailing Market rate. Base Rent
attributable to the Premises shall be payable in
monthly installments in accordance with the terms and
conditions of Article IV of the Lease.
2. Tenant shall pay Additional Rent (i.e. Taxes and
Expenses) for the Premises during the Renewal Term in
accordance with Article IV of the Lease, and the
manner and method in which Tenant reimburses Landlord
for Tenant's share of Taxes and Expenses and the Base
Year, if any, applicable to such matter, shall be
some of the factors considered in determining the
Prevailing Market rate for the Renewal Term.
C. Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market. Within 30 days
after receipt of Tenant's Initial Renewal Notice, Landlord
shall advise Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the
Premises for the Renewal Term. Tenant, within 15 days after
the date on which Landlord advises Tenant of the applicable
Base Rent rate for the Renewal Term, shall either (i) give
Landlord final binding written notice ("Binding Notice") of
Tenant's exercise of its Renewal Option, or (ii) if Tenant
disagrees with Landlord's determination, provide Landlord with
written notice of rejection (the "Rejection Notice"). If
Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice
or Rejection Notice within such 15 day period, Tenant's
Renewal Option shall be null and void and of no further force
and effect. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice,
Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment (as
defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
If Tenant provides Landlord with a Rejection Notice, Landlord
and Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree upon the
Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Renewal
Term. Upon agreement, Tenant shall provide Landlord with
Binding Notice and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the
Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant
are unable to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the
Premises within 30 days after the date on which Tenant
provides Landlord with a Rejection Notice, Tenant's Renewal
Option shall be null and void and of no force and effect.
D. Renewal Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly
exercises its Renewal Option, Landlord shall prepare an
amendment (the "Renewal Amendment") to reflect changes in the
Base Rent, Term, Termination
-33-
Date and other appropriate terms. The Renewal Amendment shall
be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt of
the Binding Notice and Tenant shall execute and return the
Renewal Amendment to Landlord within 15 days after Tenant's
receipt of same, but, upon final determination of the
Prevailing Market rate applicable during the Renewal Term as
described herein, an otherwise valid exercise of the Renewal
Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Renewal
Amendment is executed.
E. Definition of Prevailing Market. For purposes of this Renewal
Option, "Prevailing Market" shall mean the arms length fair
market annual rental rate per rentable square foot under
renewal leases and amendments entered into on or about the
date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined
hereunder for space comparable to the Premises in the Building
and office buildings comparable to the Building in the East
Cambridge/Kendall Square area. The determination of Prevailing
Market shall take into account any material economic
differences between the terms of this Lease and any comparison
lease or amendment, such as rent abatements, construction
costs and other concessions and the manner, if any, in which
the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating
expenses and taxes. The determination of Prevailing Market
shall also take into consideration any reasonably anticipated
changes in the Prevailing Market rate from the time such
Prevailing Market rate is being determined and the time such
Prevailing Market rate will become effective under this Lease.
