any floor, excluding the common corridors, elevator lobbies and

Building identified on the first page, and which is the subject of
this Lease; the term “Site” means all, and also any
part of the Land described in Exhibit A, plus any additions or

RIGHTS TO
USE COMMON FACILITIES .
|
Subject to Landlord’s right to
change or alter any of the following in Landlord’s discretion
as provided in Section 2.3 hereof, Tenant shall have, as
appurtenant to the Premises, the non-exclusive right to use in
common with others, subject to reasonable rules of general
applicability to tenants of the Building from time to time made by
Landlord of which Tenant is given notice (a) the common lobbies,
corridors, stairways, elevators and loading area of the Building,
and the pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and
equipment serving the Premises in common with others, (b) common
walkways and driveways necessary for access to the Building, and
(c) if the Premises include less than the entire rentable floor
area of any floor, the common toilets, corridors and elevator lobby
of such floor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Landlord has no obligation to allow any particular
telecommunication service provider to have access to the Building
or to the Premises except as may be required by applicable law.
Tenant acknowledges that it uses Verizon as its present
telecommunications provider. Landlord hereby approves
Tenant’s use of Verizon but any cabling, equipment and other
telecommunications apparatus, wiring and other appurtenances
(collectively “Equipment”) and the placement and
location thereof shall be solely for Tenant’s use in the
conduct of the Permitted Use and shall be first approved by
Landlord prior to installation, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld. Such approval may be conditioned by Landlord
on Tenant’s agreement to remove all of the same at the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease but may not be
conditioned on the imposition of access
9
charges. Landlord agrees not to
unreasonably withhold its consent to any subsequent
telecommunications service provider in replacement of, and not in
addition to, Verizon. If Landlord so consents to such subsequent
telecommunications service provider, Landlord may not condition
such access upon the payment to Landlord by the service provider of
fees assessed by Landlord. However, Landlord shall have the right
to condition the same on Landlord’s prior approval of the
installation, placement and location of such subsequent service
provider’s Equipment and Tenant’s agreement to remove
all of such subsequent service provider’s Equipment at the
expiration or earlier termination of this lease. In no event shall
any telecommunications provider install any equipment for sale of
service to others or for anyone’s use other than Tenant in
the Premises for the conduct of the Permitted Use.
In addition, Tenant shall have the
right to use in the parking area the Number of Parking Spaces
(referred to in Section 1.1) for the parking of automobiles by its
employees and visitors, in common with use by other tenants from
time to time of the Complex, provided, however, that Landlord shall
not be obligated to furnish stalls or spaces in any parking area
specifically designated for Tenant’s use. However, Landlord
shall designate five (5) parking spaces for visitor use. Such
visitor spaces shall be available to the visitors of all tenants,
subtenants and other occupants from time to time of the Building
and Landlord shall have no obligation to police or otherwise
monitor or regulate the use thereof. Except for payment by Tenant
of operating expenses as provided in Section 2.6 hereof, there
shall be no charge for Tenant’s use of such parking spaces
during the Original Term. Tenant covenants and agrees that it and
all persons claiming by, through and under it, shall at all times
abide by all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by
Landlord with respect to the use of the parking areas on the Site.
The parking privileges granted herein are non-transferable except
to a permitted assignee or subtenant as provided in Section 5.6
through Section 5.6.5. Further, except for the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord and persons for whose Landlord is
responsible, Landlord assumes no responsibility whatsoever for loss
or damage due to fire, theft or otherwise to any automobile(s)
parked on the Site or to any personal property therein, however
caused, and Tenant covenants and agrees, upon request from Landlord
from time to time, to notify its officers, employees, agents and
invitees of such limitation of liability. Tenant acknowledges and
agrees that a license only is hereby granted, and no bailment is
intended or shall be created.

use: (a) to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate
for service to
10
the Premises and other parts of the
Building, or either, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant
fixtures, wherever located in the Premises or Building, and (b) to
alter or relocate any other common facility, provided that
substitutions are substantially equivalent or better.
Installations, replacements and relocations referred to in clause
(a) above shall be located so far as practicable in the central
core area of the Building, above ceiling surfaces, below floor
surfaces or within perimeter walls of the Premises. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord’s right to make such alterations,
additions or other changes shall not materially and adversely (i)
affect Tenant’s use of the Premises, (ii) interfere with or
deprive Tenant of reasonable access to and from the Premises, (iii)
change the configuration of the Premises or (iv) reduce the

Premises are “substantially complete” as provided in
Section 3.1 provided, or (b) that date on which Tenant commences
occupancy of any portion of the Premises for the Permitted Uses,

Article VI or Article VII or unless extended as provided in Section
8.20. During Landlord’s construction of the improvements to
the Premises pursuant to Article III hereof, Tenant shall have the
right to install its wiring and cabling, its furniture and fixtures

requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and such right and
Tenant’s access shall be upon all of the terms and conditions
set forth in this Lease except that such installation if prior to
the date of substantial completion (as provided in Section 3.1),
shall not trigger the commencement of the Lease Term as respects
commencement of Annual Fixed Rent. However, whether or not Tenant
exercises such rights and whether or not Tenant has completed all
such installations, the Lease Term and Annual Fixed Rent shall
commence on the Commencement Date.
As soon as may be convenient after

Term of this Lease shall be stated. If Tenant fails to execute such
Declaration, the Commencement Date and Lease Term shall be as
reasonably determined by Visnick and Caulfield, Architects

hereof) and thereafter monthly, in advance, on the first day of
each and every calendar month during the Original Term, a sum equal
to one twelfth (1/12 th ) of the Annual Fixed Rent

for tenant electricity subject to escalation as provided in Section
2.8 and (2) on the first day of each and every calendar month
during the extension option period (if exercised), a sum equal to
(a) one twelfth (1/12 th ) of the annual fixed rent as
determined in Section 8.20 for the extension option period plus (b)
then applicable monthly electricity charges (subject to escalation
for electricity as provided in Section 2.8 hereof. Until notice of
some other designation is given, fixed rent and all other charges
for which provision is herein made shall be paid by remittance to

Box 3557, Boston, Massachusetts 02241-3557, and all remittances
received by Boston Properties Limited Partnership, as Agents as
aforesaid, or by any subsequently designated recipient, shall be
treated as payment to Landlord.
Annual Fixed Rent for any partial
month shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord at such rate on a pro
rata basis, and, if the Rent Commencement Date is a day other than
the first day of a calendar month, the first payment of Annual
Fixed Rent which Tenant shall make to Landlord shall be a payment
equal to a proportionate part of such monthly Annual Fixed Rent for
the partial month from the Rent Commencement Date to the first day
of the succeeding calendar month.
Additional Rent payable by Tenant on
a monthly basis, as hereinafter provided, likewise shall be
prorated, and the first payment on account thereof shall be
determined in similar fashion but shall commence on the
Commencement Date; and other provisions of this Lease calling for
monthly payments shall be read as incorporating this undertaking by
Tenant.
Notwithstanding that the payment of
Annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord shall not commence
until the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall be subject to, and
shall comply with, all other provisions of this Lease as and at the
times provided in this Lease.
The Annual Fixed Rent and all other
charges for which provision is herein made shall be paid by Tenant
to Landlord, without offset, deduction or abatement except as

in respect of the Premises (“Abated Fixed
Rent”).
12
Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein contained, if Tenant defaults at any time during
the Term of the Lease and fails to cure such default within the
applicable cure period under this Lease, all Abated Fixed Rent
shall immediately become due and payable. The payment by Tenant of
the Abated Fixed Rent in the event of a default shall not limit or
affect any of Landlord’s other rights, pursuant to this Lease
or at law or in equity. During the Fixed Rent Abatement Period,
only Annual Fixed Rent payable in respect of the Premises shall be
abated, and Tax Excess, Operating Expense Excess and all other
costs and charges specified in the Lease shall remain as due and
payable pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. In the event that
Tenant pays to Landlord the Abated Fixed Rent in accordance with
this Paragraph, then the monthly installments of Annual Fixed Rent
thereafter (i.e., after Tenant makes such payment) payable by
Tenant during the remainder of the initial Term of the Lease shall
be reduced by the Monthly Abated Fixed Rent Reduction, as
hereinafter defined. The “Monthly Abated Fixed Rent
Reduction” shall be defined as the amount of Abated Fixed
Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord, amortized on a
straight-line basis in equal monthly installments over the
remainder of the initial Term of the Lease.

regulations, requirements, statutes, ordinances, by-laws and court
decisions of all public authorities which are enacted or amended
after the Date of this Lease; plus (b) in the case of both (i) and

and (ii) shall be determined by dividing the original cost of such
capital expenditure by the number of years of useful life (without
regard to any accelerated depreciation permitted thereunder) of the

determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and practices (without regard to any
accelerated depreciation permitted thereunder) in effect at the

Building as the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Space bears
to the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building plus (b) the same
proportion of Landlord’s Operating Expenses for and

Space bears to the Total Rentable Floor Area of the

“Base Operating Expenses
Allocable to the Premises” means (i) the same proportion of
Base Operating Expenses for and pertaining to the Building as the
Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Space bears to the Rentable
Floor Area of the Building plus (ii) the same proportion of Base
Operating Expenses for and pertaining to the Site as the Rentable
Floor Area of Tenant’s Space bears to the Total Rentable
Floor Area of the Building.
In the event that on the average
less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Floor Area of
the Building is leased during any calendar year during the Lease
Term (including, without limitation, calendar year 2005 for
purposes of calculating Base Operating Expenses), then
Landlord’s Operating Expenses for each such calendar year
which vary based on the level of occupancy (as, for example,
cleaning expenses) shall be determined by Landlord to be an amount
equal to the Landlord’s Operating Expenses which so vary and
which would normally be expected to have been charged had
ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Floor Area of the
Building been leased during such calendar year. In no event shall
Landlord receive on account of any extrapolation an amount in
excess of actual costs incurred.
If with respect to any calendar year
falling within the Term, or fraction of a calendar year falling
within the Term at the beginning or end thereof, the Operating
Expenses Allocable to the Premises for a full calendar year exceed
Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises, or for any such
fraction of a calendar year exceed the corresponding fraction of
Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises then, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount of such
excess. Such payments shall be made at the times and in the manner
hereinafter provided in this Section 2.6. (The Base Operating
Expenses Allocable to the Premises do not include the $1.00 for
tenant electricity to be paid by Tenant at the time of payment of
Annual Fixed Rent and for which provision is made in Section 2.5
hereof, separate provision being made in Section 2.8 of this Lease
for Tenant’s share of increases in electricity
costs.)
Landlord’s Operating Expense
records shall be kept on a consistent basis from year to year. Not
later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of the
first calendar year or fraction thereof ending December 31 and of
each succeeding calendar year during the Term or fraction thereof
at the end of the Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in
reasonable detail and according to usual accounting practices
certified by a representative of Landlord, showing Base Operating
Expenses and Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and
also showing for the preceding calendar year or fraction thereof,
as the case may be, Landlord’s Operating Expenses and
Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises. Said statement shall
be rendered in form substantially similar to the Operating Expenses
Statement Form attached hereto as Exhibit G. Said statement to be
rendered to Tenant shall also show for the preceding year or
fraction thereof as the case may be the amounts of operating
expenses already paid by Tenant as Additional Rent, and the amount
of operating expenses remaining due from, or overpaid
by,
16
Tenant for the year or other period
covered by the statement. Within thirty (30) days after the date of
delivery of such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
balance of the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the
above provisions of this Section 2.6 with respect to the preceding
year or fraction thereof, or Landlord shall credit any amounts due
from it to Tenant pursuant to the above provisions of this Section
2.6 against (i) monthly installments of fixed rent next thereafter
coming due or (ii) any sums then due from Tenant to Landlord under
this Lease (or refund such portion of the overpayment as aforesaid
if the Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to
Landlord). Such refund, if any, shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease provided Tenant was not in
default at the expiration or termination of this Lease and provided
Tenant does not then have any further obligations to Landlord.
Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of a request
for explanation from Tenant, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a
reasonable explanation to Tenant of questions relating to
Landlord’s Operating Expenses and such reasonable
documentation of expenses for the year covered by such statement as
Tenant may reasonably request.
In addition, Tenant shall make
payments monthly on account of Tenant’s share of increases in
Landlord’s Operating Expenses anticipated for the then
current year at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the
payment of fixed rent. The amount to be paid to Landlord shall be
an amount reasonably estimated annually by Landlord to be
sufficient to cover, in the aggregate, a sum equal to
Tenant’s share of such increases in operating expenses for
each calendar year during the Term. Any increase in estimated
annual estimated Landlord’s Operating Expenses shall be
accompanied by a reasonable written explanation thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, no decrease in Landlord’s Operating Expenses
shall result in a reduction of the amount otherwise payable by
Tenant if and to the extent said decrease is attributable to
vacancies in the Buildings rather than to any other
causes.
Upon no less than ten (10) business
days prior notice to Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense,
may examine Landlord’s books and records regarding the
Operating Expense statement for the year submitted at any
reasonable time specified by Landlord during Landlord’s
business hours at a place designated by Landlord. Tenant shall hold
such books and records in confidence and not disclose the same to
any other party, including, without limitation, any other tenant in
the Building. As a condition precedent to the conduct of any such
audit, Tenant shall execute a confidentiality agreement binding
Tenant and its auditor and all of their respective employees and
agents in such form as determined by Landlord. Landlord shall
reasonably cooperate with any such examination and shall promptly
make such records available to Tenant and Tenant’s
accountant. Such audit right must be exercised within 180 days
following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s annual
reconciliation or other statement showing Landlord’s
determination of the Operating Expenses for the subject calendar
year. Any such review or audit shall be limited to
17
the year reflected in such
statement. In the event the audit shows an over-payment, or
mischarged amount, then Landlord shall grant Tenant a rent credit
in the amount previously paid by Tenant or if this Lease has
expired or terminated Landlord shall pay to Tenant such amount
(less any monies owned to Landlord under this Lease), which
obligation shall survive such termination or expiration. All costs
for any such audit shall be paid by Tenant, unless the amount of
the discrepancy is identified to be more than five percent (5%) in
which event Landlord shall pay for the costs of the audit. In no
event shall Tenant employ or otherwise use or engage the services
of any person, firm, consultant, accountant, advisor, agent or
other representative to perform such audit whose fee or
compensation is based in whole or in part on a percentage of the
amount disputed or on a percentage of overpayment or savings or on
any contingent basis.
If with respect to any full Tax Year
or fraction of a Tax Year falling within the Term, Landlord’s
Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises as hereinafter defined for a
full Tax Year exceed Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises, or for
any such fraction of a Tax Year exceed the corresponding fraction
of Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises then, on or before the
thirtieth (30 th ) day following receipt by Tenant
of the certified statement referred to below in this Section 2.7,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount
of such excess. Not later than ninety (90) days after
Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises are
determined for the first such Tax Year or fraction thereof and for
each succeeding Tax Year or fraction thereof during the Term,
Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in reasonable detail
certified by a representative of Landlord showing for the preceding
year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, real estate taxes on
the Building and the Site and abatements and refunds of any taxes
and assessments. Expenditures for legal fees and for other expenses
incurred in seeking the tax refund or abatement may be charged
against the tax refund or abatement before the adjustments are made
for the Tax Year. Said statement to be rendered to Tenant shall
include a copy of the applicable rent estate tax bill and shall
also show for the preceding Tax Year or fraction thereof as the
case may be the amounts of real estate taxes already paid by Tenant
as Additional Rent, and the amount of real estate taxes remaining
due from, or overpaid by, Tenant for the year or other period
covered by the statement. Within thirty (30) days after the date of
delivery of the foregoing statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the balance of the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to
the above provisions of this Section 2.7 with respect to the
preceding Tax Year or fraction thereof, or Landlord shall credit
any amounts due from it to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.7 against (i) monthly installments of fixed rent
next thereafter coming due or (ii) any sums then due from Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease (or refund such portion of the
over-payment as aforesaid if the Term has ended and Tenant has no
further obligation to Landlord). Such refund, if any, shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease provided was
not then in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease
and provided Tenant does not then have any further obligations to
Landlord).
18
In addition, payments by Tenant on
account of increases in real estate taxes anticipated for the then
current year shall be made monthly at the time and in the fashion
herein provided for the payment of fixed rent. The amount so to be
paid to Landlord shall be an amount reasonably estimated by
Landlord to be sufficient to provide Landlord, in the aggregate, a
sum equal to Tenant’s share of such increases, at least ten
(10) days before the day on which such payments by Landlord would
become delinquent.
To the extent that real estate taxes
shall be payable to the taxing authority in installments with
respect to periods less than a Tax Year, the foregoing statement
shall be rendered and payments made on account of such
installments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no decrease
in Landlord’s Tax Expenses with respect to any Tax Year shall
result in a reduction of the amount otherwise payable by Tenant if
and to the extent said decrease is attributable to vacancies in the
Building or partial completion of the Building rather than to any
other causes.

Landlord’s Work
. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is
(i) a space plan (“Tenant Plan”) and (ii) a detailed
scope (hereinafter called the “Building Standard Materials
and Turnkey Scope”) showing the work to be performed by
Landlord, at Landlord’s cost and expense, in order to prepare
the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy (such work being
hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord’s
Work”). For the purposes of this Lease, the term
“Landlord’s Work” shall mean all labor, materials
and other work necessary for the construction of the improvements
described in Exhibit B; provided, however, that Landlord shall have
no responsibility for the installation or connection of
Tenant’s computer, telephone, other communication equipment,
systems or wiring.
|
|
|
(2)
|
Additional Tenant Work
. Attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 is
a list of items of work included on the Tenant Plan which is work
beyond the scope outlined in the Building Standard and Materials
Turnkey Scope and therefore is not included within Landlord’s
Work (such work being hereinafter referred to as the
“Additional Tenant Work”). For the purpose of this
Lease, the term “Additional Tenant Work” shall mean all
labor, materials and other work necessary for the construction of
the Additional Tenant Work and for the purchase and installation of
the “Tenant’s Supplemental Air-Conditioning
Units” (referred to in Section 3.5 hereof). Landlord’s
Work and the Additional Tenant Work are collectively hereinafter
called the “Work.”
|
|
|
(3)(a)
|
Tenant Plan Excess
Costs . It is
understood and agreed that Landlord shall be responsible for the
design costs associated with the Landlord’s Work and Tenant
shall be responsible (as part of Tenant Plan Excess Costs, as
hereinafter defined) for the design costs associated with the
Additional Tenant Work. On or before January 28, 2005, Landlord
shall furnish to Tenant a written statement of (i) the costs of the
Additional Tenant Work including the “Tenant’s
Supplemental A/C Units Costs” (defined in Section 3.5 hereof)
(such costs in the aggregate being hereinafter referred to as the
“Tenant Plan Excess Costs”), which such costs shall
include a construction management fee equal to 4% of the Additional
Tenant Work costs in excess of $200,000.00 and shall be paid by
Tenant as Additional Rent
|
22
|
|
in accordance with Section 3.4
below, and (ii) Landlord’s estimate of any delay which would
likely result in the completion of the Landlord’s Work as the
result of any particular item of Additional Tenant Work. In
addition, Landlord shall not charge the 4% construction management
fee on the cost of Tenant’s installation of its
telecommunications wiring and cabling. Tenant shall be solely
responsible for the installation thereof at its sole cost and
expense and Landlord shall have no obligation to manage or
otherwise oversee the installation thereof but Tenant shall comply
with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof.
|
|
|
(3)(b)
|
Landlord’s Notice to Tenant of Long Lead
Items . On or before
January 11, 2005, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written list
of “Long Lead Items” (hereinafter defined), the cost
thereof and the length of the lead time. “Long Lead
Items” shall mean any items of Work for which there is a long
lead time in obtaining the materials therefore or which are
specially or specifically manufactured, produced or milled for the
Work in or to the Premises and require additional time for receipt
or installation.
|
|
|
(4)
|
Authorization to Proceed Date; Long Lead Item
Release Date . On or
before February 2, 2005 (herein called the “Authorization to
Proceed Date”), Tenant shall give Landlord written
authorization to proceed with the Additional Tenant Work in
accordance with the Tenant’s Plan and Exhibit B-1 (such
notice being referred to as the “Notice to Proceed”).
In addition, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord
any affidavits and documentation required in order to obtain all
permits and approvals necessary for Landlord to commence and
complete the Work on a timely basis (“Permit
Documentation”).
|
Further, Tenant shall, on or before
January 14, 2005 (herein called the “Long Lead Item Release
Date”), give Landlord written authorization to proceed to
purchase and/or contract for the “Long Lead Items”
(defined above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges
that (i) certain Long Lead Items may still delay completion of the
Work and thus result in a Tenant Delay even if Tenant does
authorize them on or before the Long Lead Item Release Date, and
(ii) any Long Lead Items which are added as a result of a change
order after the Long Lead Item Release Date may delay completion of
the Work and thus result in a Tenant Delay.
|
|
(5)
|
Change
Orders . Tenant shall
have the right, in accordance herewith, to submit for
Landlord’s approval change proposals subsequent to the Notice
to Proceed (each, a “Change Proposal”). Landlord agrees
to
|
23
|
|
respond to any such Change
Proposal within such time as is reasonably necessary (taking into
consideration the information contained in such Change Proposal)
after the submission thereof by Tenant, advising Tenant of any
anticipated increase in costs (“Change Order Costs”)
associated with such Change Proposal, as well as an estimate of any
delay which would likely result in the completion of the Work if a
Change Proposal is made pursuant hereto (“Landlord’s
Change Order Response”). Tenant shall have the right to then
approve or withdraw such Change Proposal within five (5) business
days after receipt of Landlord’s Change Order Response. If
Tenant fails to respond to Landlord’s Change Order Response
within such five (5) business day period, such Change Proposal
shall be deemed withdrawn. If Tenant approves such Change Proposal,
then such Change Proposal shall be deemed a “Change
Order” hereunder and if the Change Order is made, then the
Change Order Costs associated with the Change Order shall be deemed
additions to the Tenant Plan Excess Costs and shall be paid in the
same manner as Tenant Plan Excess Costs are paid as set forth in
Section 3.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change Order
relates to a deletion in any item or component of Work which has
not been contracted for or purchased as of the date of
Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Change Proposal
therefore, Tenant shall only be responsible for the increase in the
cost of the item or component of the Work covered by the Change
Order in excess of the deleted item.
|
|
|
(6)
|
Tenant
Response to Requests for Information and Approvals
. Except to the extent that another
time period is expressly herein set forth, Tenant shall respond to
any request from Landlord, Landlord’s architect,
Landlord’s contractor and/or Landlord’s Construction
Representative for approvals or information in connection with the
Work, within three (3) business days of Tenant’s receipt of
such request.

manufactured, produced or milled for the work in or to the Premises
and require additional time for receipt or installation;
|
|
|
(e)
|
Any delay in

|
|
|
(f)
|
Any other
delays caused by Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, architects,
engineers or anyone else engaged by Tenant in connection with the
preparation of the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy,
including, without limitation, utility companies and other entities
furnishing communications, data processing or other service,

|
The Tenant Delays defined in clauses
(a), (b) and (c) of this Section 3.1(B)(1) are sometimes
hereinafter referred to as “Accelerated Rent Tenant
Delays,” the Tenant Delays defined in clauses (d), (e), and
(f) of this Section 3.1(B)(1) are sometimes hereinafter referred to
as “Other Tenant Delays.”
|
|
(2)
|
Tenant
Obligations with Respect to Tenant Delays .
|
|
|
(a)
|
Tenant covenants that no Tenant
Delay shall delay commencement of the Term or the obligation to pay
Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, regardless of the reason
for
|
25
|
|
such Tenant Delay or whether or
not it is within the control of Tenant or any such employee. The
Work shall be deemed substantially completed as of the date when
the Work would have been substantially completed but for any Tenant
Delays, as determined by Visnick & Caulfield, Architects in the
exercise of its good faith business judgment.
|
|
|
(b)
|
If any
Accelerated Rent Tenant Delays occur: (i) Tenant shall, for the
purpose of reimbursing Landlord for lost rent due to
Landlord’s inability to proceed with the Work as scheduled,
pay to Landlord an amount (“Accelerated Rent Payment”)
equal to one day of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for each
day of Accelerated Rent Tenant Delay, (ii) the Estimated
Commencement Date shall be extended by each day of Accelerated Rent
Tenant Delay, and (iii) if the Commencement Date occurs before the
Estimated Commencement Date, then any Accelerated Rent Payment paid
by Tenant shall be credited against the Annual Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent payable by Tenant in respect of the period
commencing as of the Commencement Date and ending as of the
Estimated Commencement Date.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord the amount, if any, by which the cost of the
Work is increased as the result of any Tenant Delay in excess of
the amounts paid under Section 3.1(B)(2)(b) above and not otherwise
credited to Tenant under said Section 3.1(B)(2)(b).
|
|
|
(d)
|
If Landlord
claims a Tenant Delay has occurred, Landlord and Tenant shall
reasonably cooperate to revise the project schedule to the end
that, insofar as reasonably feasible, lost time may be made up but
Landlord shall in no event be obligated to engage in extraordinary
efforts. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have no
obligation to cause any Work to be performed other than during
normal business hours and Landlord shall have no obligation to pay
premium or overtime rates and/or charges. In determining whether a
Tenant Delay has occurred, whether Accelerated Rent is due or
whether Tenant is to reimburse Landlord on account of increases in
cost due to a Tenant Delay only the net effect on the critical path
is to be considered after giving effect to (i) changes in the work,
which eliminate work or require less work or less costly work than
originally contemplated in the project schedule and in fact reduce
the time schedule and (ii) any mitigation of a delay by means of
rescheduling of work subject to the foregoing.
|
26
|
|
(e)
|
Any amounts due
from Tenant to Landlord under this Section 3.1(B)(2) shall be due
and payable within thirty (30) days of billing therefor, and shall
be considered to be Additional Rent. Nothing contained in this
Section 3.1(B)(2) shall limit or qualify or prejudice any other
covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained
in this Lease.

reasonable speed and diligence to have the Work substantially
completed on or before the Estimated Commencement Date, but Tenant
shall have no claim against Landlord for failure so to complete
construction of the Work in the Premises, except for the right to
terminate this Lease, without further liability to either party, in
accordance with the provisions hereinafter specified in Section
3.2.
|
|
|
(2)
|
Definition of Substantial
Completion . The
Premises shall be treated as having been substantially completed on
the later of:
|
|
|
(a)
|
The date on
which the Work, together with common facilities for access and
services to the Premises, has been completed (or would have been
completed except for Tenant Delays) except for items of work and
adjustment of equipment and fixtures which can be completed after
occupancy has been taken without causing material interference with
Tenant’s use of the Premises (i.e. so-called “punch
list” items), and
|
|
|
(b)
|
The date when
permission has been obtained from the applicable governmental
authority, to the extent required by law, for occupancy by Tenant
of the Premises for the Permitted Use, unless the failure to obtain
such permission is due to a Tenant Delay.
|
In the event of any dispute as to
the date on which the Work has been substantially completed, the
reasonable determination of Visnick & Caulfield, Architects as
to such date shall be deemed conclusive and binding on both
Landlord and Tenant.
27
|
|
(3)
|
Incomplete Work . Landlord shall complete as soon as conditions
practically permit any incomplete items of Work, and Tenant shall
cooperate with Landlord in providing access as may be required to
complete such work in a normal manner.

|
(4)
|
Early
Access by Tenant .
Landlord shall permit Tenant access for installing Tenant’s
trade fixtures in portions of the Premises when it can be done
without material interference with remaining work or with the
maintenance of harmonious labor relations. Any such access by
Tenant shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease
(other than the payment of Annual Fixed Rent) and shall be at
Tenant’s sole risk, and Landlord shall not be responsible for
any injury to persons or damage to property resulting from such
early access by Tenant.
|
|
|
(5)
|
Prohibition on Access by Tenant Prior to Actual
Substantial Completion . If, prior to the date that the Premises are in
fact actually substantially complete, the Premises are deemed to be
substantially complete pursuant to the provisions of this Section
3.1 (i.e. and the Commencement Date has therefore occurred), Tenant
shall not (except with Landlord’s consent) be entitled to
take possession of the Premises for the Permitted Use until the
Premises are in fact actually substantially complete.
|
|
|
(6)

substantial completion.
|

respecting the conduct of Work and Tenant shall have the right to
attend such job meetings. In addition, Tenant shall have the right
to enter upon the Premises to inspect the progress of the Work but
only at times when Work is being performed and in such a manner so
as not to interfere with the progress thereof.
|
|
3.2
|
RENT
ABATEMENT, OUTSIDE COMPLETION DATE AND TENANT’S TERMINATION
RIGHT .
|
(A) In the event that the Work shall
not be substantially completed by the sixtieth (60
th
) day following the
Estimated Commencement Date and if such failure to substantially
complete is not due, in whole or in part, to any Tenant Delay or to
any Change Order, then for each day that the Commencement Date is
delayed beyond the 60 th day following the Estimated
Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with one (1)
day’s free fixed rent which shall be in addition to the free
rent resulting from the Rent Commencement Date being the 181
st
following
the
28
Commencement Date. The provisions of
this Section 3.2(A) shall only apply if Tenant does not terminate
this Lease pursuant to Section 3.2(B) below.
(B) If Landlord shall have failed
substantially to complete the Work on or before the Outside
Completion Date as defined in Section 1.1 hereof (which date shall
be extended automatically for such periods of time as Landlord is
prevented from proceeding with or completing the same by reason of
Force Majeure as defined in Section 6.1 or any act or failure to
act of Tenant which interferes with Landlord’s construction
of the Premises, without limiting Landlord’s other rights on
account thereof), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by giving notice to Landlord of Tenant’s desire to do
so before such completion and within the time period from the
Outside Completion Date (as so extended) until the date which is
thirty (30) days subsequent to the Outside Completion Date (as so
extended); and, upon the giving of such notice, the term of this
Lease shall cease and come to an end without further liability or
obligation on the part of either party unless, within thirty (30)
days after receipt of such notice, Landlord substantially completes
the Work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Section 3.1. In
the event that this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2(B), Landlord shall
promptly reimburse Tenant for (a) any Tenant Plan Excess Costs
previously paid by Tenant to Landlord and (b) “Tenant’s
Termination Damages” (hereinafter defined).
“Tenant’s Termination Damages” shall be the
reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses actually paid by Tenant
to third parties unaffiliated and not employed by Tenant for, on
account of or respecting the following in the Premises but not to
exceed $300,00.00 in the aggregate: (i) legal fees paid by Tenant
in negotiating this Lease and in enforcing this Section 3.2(B) in
the event Tenant terminates pursuant hereto, (ii) project
management services of a third party in supervising the
installation of Tenant’s telecommunications equipment; (iii)
consulting services of a third party in supervising the
installation of Tenant’s audio visual equipment; (iv) voice
and data wiring and cabling, (v) video installations in conference
rooms, (vi) wiring and cabling in Tenant’s data center in the
Premises, (vii) purchase and installation of audio amplification
equipment and (viii) interior and exterior signage erected by
Tenant pursuant to Section 8.26 of this Lease. However, there shall
be excluded from Tenant’s Termination Damages the costs and
expenses of any of the foregoing items which are removed by Tenant
or which are reasonably reusable in another location by Tenant. As
a condition to being reimbursed for Tenant’s Termination
Damages, Tenant shall be required to submit to Landlord reasonable
written information evidencing actual payment of the foregoing. In
no event shall Tenant be entitled to any indirect, consequential,
punitive or other damages or any other remedies. Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree that the foregoing right of termination and
payment shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for
Landlord’s failure so to complete such Work within such time
and respecting Tenant’s termination under this Section 3.2(B)
or otherwise. Each day of Tenant Delay shall be deemed conclusively
to cause an equivalent day of delay by Landlord in substantially
completing the Work pursuant to Section 3.1, and thereby
automatically extend for each such equivalent day of delay the date
of the Outside Completion Date.

other to rely in connection with design and construction upon
approval and other actions on the party’s behalf by any
Construction Representative of the party named in Section 1.1 or

shall have no claim that Landlord has failed to perform any of
Landlord’s obligations under this Article III (if any).
Landlord agrees to correct or repair at its expense items which are

however, that in the event the Tenant Plan Excess Costs exceed
$100,000.00 (“Maximum Amount”), then, in addition,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, prior to the
commencement of Landlord’s Work and the Additional Tenant
Work, all such Tenant Plan Excess Costs in excess of the Maximum
Amount. Further, if a Change Order results in “Change Order
Costs” (as set forth in Section 3.1(A)(5)), then Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, at the time that Tenant
approves such Change Order in accordance with Section 3.1(A)(5),
all such Change Order Costs.

Landlord, or (ii) if elsewhere, as suggested by Landlord, then in a
location as reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant

operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the same and
Tenant shall be responsible for all utilities’ costs incurred
in operating Tenant’s Supplemental Air Conditioning

INTERRUPTIONS AND DELAYS IN SERVICES AND
REPAIRS, ETC .
|
Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant for any compensation or reduction of rent by reason of
inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business arising from the
necessity of Landlord or its agents entering the Premises for any
of the purposes in this Lease authorized, or for repairing the
Premises or any portion of the Building however the necessity may
occur. In case Landlord is prevented or delayed from making any
repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any services or
performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on
Landlord’s part, by reason of any cause reasonably beyond
Landlord’s control, including without limitation the causes
set forth in Section 3.2 hereof as being reasonably beyond
Landlord’s control, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
therefor, nor, except as expressly otherwise provided in Article
VI, shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent
by reason thereof, or right to terminate this Lease, nor shall the
same give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such failure
constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from
the Premises.
In the event that the electrical,
heating, ventilating, air conditioning, or all elevator service to
the Premises shall be shut down for more than five (5) full and
consecutive business days, then, Tenant shall be entitled to an
abatement of Annual Fixed Rent from the date of the shutdown of
such service to the date such service is restored. Tenant agrees
that if and to the extent such shutdown is covered by
Landlord’s loss of rents coverage, the abatement of Annual
Fixed Rent shall be limited and equal to the “Insurance

service is attributable to Landlord’s negligence or willful
conduct, the abatement of Annual
32
Fixed Rent shall not be limited to
the Insurance Amount. The “Insurance Amount” shall be
an amount equal to the payment actually received by Landlord (but
only allocable to and on account of the Premises) for such shut
down of service to the Premises received from Landlord’s
insurance carrier providing such loss of rents insurance less the
amount of any deductible contained in such loss of rents insurance
coverage. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the
contrary, in no event shall any of the events referred to in this
Section give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such
failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial,
eviction from the Premises.
Landlord reserves the right to stop
any service or utility system, when necessary by reason of accident
or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been completed;
provided, however, that in each instance of stoppage, Landlord
shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause thereof.
Except in case of emergency repairs, Landlord will give Tenant
reasonable advance notice of any contemplated stoppage and will use
reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary inconvenience to Tenant by
reason thereof.

4.3

LANDLORD’S INSURANCE

during the Term of this Lease (i) commercial general liability
insurance with respect to the Building in an amount as determined
by Landlord from time to time, (ii) insurance against loss or
damage with respect to the Buildings covered by the so-called
“all risk” type insurance coverage (including loss of
rents as determined by Landlord) in an amount equal to at least the
replacement value of the Building but whether or not and in what
amounts to maintain coverage for terrorism, the decision as to the
amount of the full replacement coverage for “all risk”
type insurance coverage and the amount of the deductible shall all
be in Landlord’s sole discretion but in no event shall such
insurance be in such amount as would trigger the application of the
co-insurance provision of such policy. Landlord may also maintain
such other insurance as may from time to time be required by a
mortgagee holding a mortgage lien on the Building. Further,
Landlord may also maintain such insurance against loss of annual
fixed rent and additional rent and such other risks and perils as
Landlord deems proper. Any and all such insurance (i) may be
maintained under a blanket policy affecting other properties of
Landlord and/or its affiliated business organizations, (ii) may be
written with deductibles as determined by Landlord and (iii) shall
be subject to escalation reimbursement in accordance with Section
