Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 200 Minuteman Lease, effective as of the applicable Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right, as appurtenant to the 200 Minuteman Premises, to use 3.0 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet (i.e., as of the Expansion Premises B Commencement Date, two hundred eighty-six (286) parking spaces) (“Tenant’s 200 Minuteman Spaces”) at the 200 Minuteman Building in the areas designated by Landlord for Tenant’s parking from time to time, in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section and Section 15.2 of the 200 Minuteman Original Lease, except that a total of three (3) spaces of Tenant’s 200 Minuteman Spaces shall be reserved parking spaces for Tenant’s exclusive use, and the remaining Tenant’s 200 Minuteman Spaces shall be non-reserved, non-exclusive parking spaces.

(b) 30 Minuteman. Pursuant to the 30 Minuteman Original Lease, as affected by the Parking Letter Agreement, Tenant has the right to use thirty-five (35) parking spaces, as appurtenant to the 30 Minuteman Premises (“Tenant’s 30 Minuteman Spaces”), six (6) of which the 30 Minuteman Landlord provides on the property owned by the 30 Minuteman Landlord (the “30 Minuteman Property”), and the remaining twenty-nine (29) of which are provided pursuant to that certain Parking Easement Agreement dated April 19, 2005, between the 30 Minuteman Landlord’s predecessor in title and One Minuteman LLC, recorded with the Essex County North District Registry of Deeds in Book 9504, Page 175 (the “Existing Parking Easement”) on the adjacent 1 Property (as defined in the Existing Parking Easement) (the “Adjacent Property”). Pursuant to the Existing Parking Easement, the twenty-nine (29) spaces located on the Adjacent Property consist of eight (8) spaces reserved for Tenant’s exclusive use (the “Tenant’s Exclusive Spaces”), and twenty-one (21) non-exclusive spaces (the “Tenant’s Non-Exclusive Spaces”). In connection with the Adjacent Owner’s redevelopment of the Adjacent Property for retail/commercial use, the Adjacent Owner has requested, and Landlord and Tenant have agreed, to modify the terms and provisions pertaining to Tenant’s rights to twenty-nine (29) spaces on the Adjacent Property and to enter into an amendment of the Existing Parking Easement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Parking Easement Amendment”). Tenant hereby approves of the Parking Easement Amendment. Pursuant to the Parking Easement Amendment, the Adjacent Owner will (i) relocate the Tenant’s Exclusive Spaces to the 30 Minuteman Property by constructing eight (8) new parking spaces for Tenant’s exclusive use, in the approximate area shown as the “New Spaces” on Exhibit A-1 attached to the Parking Easement Amendment (the “New Spaces”), and (ii) relocate Tenant’s Non-Exclusive Spaces to the area identified as the “Twenty-One (21) Non-Exclusive Parking Spaces for 30 Minuteman Road” on Exhibit A-1 attached to the Parking Easement Amendment (the “New Adjacent Parking Area”), resulting in a total of fourteen (14)

 

-2-

This Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, and by the exchange of facsimile or other electronic signatures with the same force and effect as original ink signatures. When each party has signed and delivered at least one (1) such counterpart, each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and, when taken together with the other signed counterparts, shall constitute one Amendment, which shall be binding upon and effective as to Landlord and Tenant as of the date first above-written. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to the other that the individual(s) executing this Amendment on their respective behalf are duly authorized to do so, and that such authorization remains in full force and effect and has not been modified or revoked.

Betterments and assessments, whether or not paid in installments, shall be included in Taxes in any tax year as if the betterment or assessment were paid in installments over the longest period permitted by law, together with the interest thereon charged by the assessing authority for the payment of such betterment or assessment in installments. If Landlord obtains any tax abatement or reduction by an appeal or other process, then Tenant shall be entitled to Tenant’s Percentage of any such abatement or reduction (after deducting Landlord’s reasonable out of pocket costs incurred in obtaining such abatement or reduction) in an amount to exceed Tenant actual payment of Taxes on account of the applicable tax year. The original computation of Taxes as well as reimbursement or payments of additional charges, if any, or allowances, if any, under the provisions of this Section shall be based on the original assessed valuations with adjustments to be made at a later date when the tax refund, if any, shall be paid to Landlord by the taxing authority (and Tenant shall be entitled to Tenant’s Percentage of any refund after deducting Landlord’s reasonable cost in obtaining an abatement, if any, to the extent not previously included in Operating Costs, but in any event such refund to Tenant shall not exceed the amounts on account of Taxes actually paid by Tenant with respect to the period subject to the abatement).”

Landlord shall maintain physical damage and casualty insurance on an “all risk” basis on the Property (excluding furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property of Tenant), including earthquake, flood, and, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, terrorism in the amount of the full replacement cost as reasonably determined by Landlord, with a so-called agreed amount endorsement, and shall also maintain boiler and rent loss insurance in amounts required by Landlord’s mortgage lender (or, if there is no mortgage lender, consistent with standards for comparable institutional buildings).

(z) The following is inserted as a new Section 27 in the Leases: “If and for so long as Landlord, in its discretion, provides any Building amenities for the shared use of Building occupants (“Park Amenities”), which may include a common fitness center, cafeteria and common leisure/recreational areas, Tenant shall, subject to reasonable closures for repairs and the like, have the appurtenant, non-exclusive right, in common with others, to use such Park Amenities, in each case subject to reasonable rules established by Landlord from time to time with respect thereto and generally applicable to the users thereof (including, by way of example and not limitation, the execution of waiver forms and the payment of nominal membership or usage fees, if any, to the extent any such fees are applicable to all of the users thereof). In addition, the costs of operating, managing, maintaining, repairing and replacing any such Park Amenities may be included in Operating Costs to the extent permitted under the Leases, as amended hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide or maintain any Park Amenities for any period of time, provided that for so long as Landlord elects to provide the same for Building occupants, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive rights set forth herein.

(aa) Section 5 of the Fifth Amendment to the 200 Minuteman Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety.

(bb) With respect to the 30 Minuteman Lease only, if Landlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under the 30 Minuteman Lease, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant (or with respect to emergencies, such shorter period as warranted, taking into account exigent circumstances), or, if the failure is not reasonably susceptible of cure within such period, if Landlord does not in good faith commence to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the cure to completion, Tenant may deliver to Landlord written notice of its intent to exercise self-help, and if such failure shall continue for five (5) days (or with respect to emergencies, such shorter period as warranted, taking into account exigent circumstances) after Landlord’s receipt of such self-help notice, Tenant shall have the right to cure such default on behalf of Landlord, (provided that Tenant shall not violate or render void any warranties maintained by Landlord of which copies are provided to Tenant in advance), in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within 30 days after invoice for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection therewith, and if not so paid then Tenant shall have the right to recover the same by an abatement of Base Rent, provided that such abatement shall cease at such time as and to the extent that payment is tendered to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of the abatement or setoff is more than 20% of the aggregate amount of Base Rent due in any month, then the amount abated or setoff in any one month shall not exceed 20% of the Base Rent and the excess amount of the abatement or setoff shall be carried forward until Tenant’s self-help costs have bene fully recouped. If Landlord fails to pay all amounts due to Tenant hereunder and if Tenant is unable to recover the full amount due through abatement or setoff of Base Rent by the end of

the Term of the Lease, then Landlord shall pay the outstanding balance thereof within 30 days following the end of the Term. Notwithstanding anything the contrary, Tenant’s self-help rights under this paragraph shall not apply to Landlord’s maintenance, repair or replacement obligations with respect to any of the following: the roof, the foundation, the underground utilities, the sewer and drainage systems and any detention or retention facilities. The provisions of this paragraph are personal to Tenant and any Permitted Transferee, and may not be exercised by any other assignees or subtenants. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall not have any self-help rights with respect to 200 Minuteman.

WORK LETTER

All initial capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit B shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Amendment to which this Exhibit.

1. Tenant’s Work. Notwithstanding that the Premises are being leased to Tenant in “as is” condition, Landlord acknowledges that Tenant intends to perform certain alterations and improvements in the Premises (collectively, the “Tenant’s Work”). Tenant shall be permitted to perform the Tenant’s Work, subject to Landlord’s prior written approval of the plans and specifications therefor and Tenant’s compliance with the terms and provisions of Section 13 of the Lease (provided that, to the extent of any conflict of Section 13 with the provisions of this Exhibit B, the provisions of this Exhibit B shall govern). Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its consent to the Tenant’s Work or the plans and specifications therefor, provided that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to the extent the same materially and adversely affect the structural elements, systems or exterior of the Building. Following Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications therefor, Tenant shall complete the Tenant’s Work in accordance with such approved plans and specifications, subject only to changes approved by Landlord pursuant to the standards applicable to the initially described Tenant’s Work, minor changes on account of field conditions, and changes required to comply with applicable Laws. Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of the Tenant’s Work, deliver to Landlord copies of all necessary permits and approvals, and evidence of the insurance with respect to the Tenant’s Work in amounts reasonably required by Landlord in connection with such work so long as such amounts are consistent with customary requirements for similar work in comparable buildings within the Route 128 north submarket. The Tenant’s Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, lien-free and in compliance with all applicable laws. Tenant’s Work shall be designed by Perkins and Will or other designers and contractors approved by Landlord, such approval not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove such portions of Tenant’s Work as so designated by Landlord at the time of Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications therefor, and repair any damage resulting from such removal, provided that nothing herein shall require the removal of Specialty Alterations.

2. Additional Term Work Allowance. All costs of the Tenant’s Term Work shall be borne by Tenant; provided, however, Landlord shall contribute an amount not to exceed $3,388,608.00 (the “Work Allowance”), being $32.00 per rentable square foot in the Premises, subject to deduction for the Freight Elevator Cost, if any, as provided in Section 10(b) of the Amendment, and the Construction Management Fee (as defined below); provided, however, Tenant may not requisition more than $529,470.00 (the “Soft Costs Cap”), being $5.00 per rentable square foot in the Premises, of the Work Allowance for architectural fees, engineering fees, permitting,

 

EXHIBIT B - PAGE 1


space plans, wiring and cabling(collectively, the “Soft Costs”). In addition, Tenant shall have the right to requisition up to $529,470.00 (the “FF&E Cap”) of the Work Allowance to reimburse Tenant for the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. In the event that the total construction costs for the Tenant’s Work exceed the Work Allowance, and/or the Soft Costs exceed the Soft Costs Cap, and/or furniture, fixtures and equipment up to the FF&E Cap. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all such excess costs. Landlord shall fund the Work Allowance as the Tenant’s Work progresses (but not more often than once per month), which advances shall be on a pro rata basis based on the estimated cost of the Work Allowance, as reasonably determined by Landlord based on information provided by Tenant, if the estimated cost of the Tenant’s Work exceeds the Work Allowance. Each requisition for use of the Work Allowance shall set forth the actual construction costs and/or Soft Costs up to the Soft Costs Cap subject to such requisition, and shall contain invoices, bills, and such other evidence of the actual construction costs and/or Soft Costs incurred or payable by Tenant as Landlord may reasonably request, together with evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the same have been paid or incurred (including lien waivers ( which shall be unconditional with respect to the final disbursement, to the extent permitted pursuant to applicable Laws) for the general contractor and for subcontractors in trades that require work in excess of $15,000), and a certificate by the architect or contractor that the work covered by the application has been completed substantially in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. Landlord shall pay to Tenant from the Work Allowance (or, at Tenant’s request, pay directly to the parties to whom such amounts are due), an amount equal to the actual construction costs and/or Soft Costs (subject to the Soft Costs Cap) and/or the costs of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (subject to the FF&E Cap) properly set forth in the requisition, within 30 days after receipt of such requisition, subject to the provisions above regarding pro-rata funding. Any portion of the Work Allowance that is not requisitioned within 18 months after the Effective Date shall be deemed forfeited by Tenant, and Landlord shall have no further obligation with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Work Allowance during the continuance of a monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease, as amended hereby, and Landlord’s obligation to disburse shall resume only if and when such default is cured.

If Landlord fails to provide Tenant with all or any portion of the Work Allowance properly due to Tenant within 30 days after receipt of a requisition as set forth above, time being of the essence, and such amount remains unpaid for 20 days after notice of such failure from Tenant and Landlord does not have a good faith basis to withhold such payment, then Tenant shall have the right to recover the same by an abatement of Base Rent, provided that such abatement shall cease at such time as and to the extent that payment is tendered to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of the abatement or setoff is more than 20% of the aggregate amount of Base Rent due in any month, then the amount abated or setoff in any one month shall not exceed 20% of the Base Rent and the excess amount of the abatement or setoff shall be carried forward with interest at the Default Rate until Tenant’s self-help costs have been fully recouped. If Landlord fails to pay all amounts properly due to Tenant hereunder and if Tenant is unable to recover the full amount due through abatement or setoff of Base Rent by the end of the Term of the Lease, then Landlord shall pay the outstanding balance thereof within 30 days following the end of the Term.

 

EXHIBIT B - PAGE 2


3. Construction Management Fee. Landlord, or an agent of Landlord, shall provide construction management services in connection with the construction of the Tenant’s Work. Such construction management services shall be performed for a fee (the “Construction Management Fee”) equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of the hard costs incurred by Tenant for the Tenant’s Work. Landlord shall deduct the Construction Management Fee from the Work Allowance as such costs are requisitioned by Tenant.

4. Swing Space. Subject to the terms hereof, during the construction of the Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall be permitted to use, as swing space, approximately 5,524 rentable square feet of space located on the second floor of the 200 Minuteman Building, as shown on Schedule B attached hereto (the “Swing Space”), for a period of up to six (6) months (the “Swing Space Term”) commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the date that is six (6) months thereafter (the “Swing Space Term Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may elect to give back the Swing Space prior to the Swing Space Term Expiration Date upon written notice thereof to Landlord, in which event, effective as of the give back date set forth in such notice from Tenant, the Swing Space Term shall be deemed terminated and such termination date shall be the “Swing Space Surrender Date”. Tenant accepts the Swing Space in its “as-is” condition. Except as provided otherwise under this Section 4, Tenant’s occupancy of the Swing Space shall be subject to all terms and provisions of the Lease. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Base Rent, Taxes or Operating Costs for the Swing Space during the Swing Space Term; provided, however, that Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of utilities and janitorial services for the Swing Space during Tenant’s occupancy thereof, such utilities charges shall be based upon Landlord’s meter readings (Landlord representing that the Swing Space is separately metered from other premises) and payable monthly to Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for moving any of Tenant’s personal property to and from the Swing Space.

Tenant shall vacate the Swing Space and remove all of its personal property from the Swing Space, and surrender, no later than the last day of the Swing Space Term (the “Swing Space Surrender Date”), and any damage resulting from such surrender repaired, but otherwise in the condition the Swing Space is in as of the Effective Date, reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted. In the event that Tenant shall not vacate in its entirety and yield up the Swing Space in the condition aforesaid on or before the Swing Space Surrender Date, Tenant shall be considered to be holding over in the Swing Space, and Tenant shall pay the 200 Minuteman Landlord rent at the rate of $1,000.00 per day for each day that Tenant remains in possession of the Swing Space beyond the Swing Space Surrender Date, and if such holding over continues for more than 30 days, then Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages incurred as a result of such holdover.

EXTENSION OPTION

Tenant may extend the Term with respect to the entire Premises, for one additional period of five (5) years, by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof to Landlord not earlier than 15 months or later than 12 months before the New Expiration Date. The Base Rent payable for each month during such extended Term shall be the prevailing market rental rate (the “Prevailing Rental Rate”), at the commencement of such extended Term for comparable premises in comparable buildings, taking into account all reasonable factors considered by parties in an arms-length determination of market rent (including without limitation periodic increases). Within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice to extend, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord’s good faith estimate of the Prevailing Rental Rate and shall advise Tenant of the required adjustment to Base Rent. Tenant shall, within 15 days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, either notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate. If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that Tenant accepts Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, then, within 30 days following the determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease extending the Term on the same terms and conditions provided in this Lease, except as follows:

(a) Base Rent shall be adjusted to the Prevailing Rental Rate;

(b) Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term unless expressly granted by Landlord in writing; and

(c) Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Premises in their then-current condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements.

If Tenant fails to reject Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate by written notice within the time period required, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate. If Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate and timely notifies Landlord thereof, Tenant and Landlord shall negotiate the Prevailing Rental Rate in good faith for a period of 30 days after Tenant’s notice. If despite good faith efforts, Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Prevailing Rental Rate within such 30-day period, then the determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate shall be made by brokers as follows. In such event, within ten days after the expiration of such 30-day period, each party shall select a qualified commercial real estate broker with at least ten years’ experience in leasing property and buildings for comparable uses in the city or submarket in which the Premises are located. In the event the opinions of the two brokers differ and, after good faith efforts over the succeeding 30-day period, they cannot mutually agree, the brokers shall immediately and jointly appoint a third broker that has not previously been employed by either Landlord or Tenant with the qualifications specified above. This third broker shall immediately (within ten days) choose either the determination of Landlord’s broker or Tenant’s broker and such choice of this third broker shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own costs for

 

EXHIBIT C - PAGE 1


its real estate broker. Following the determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate by the brokers, the parties shall equally share the costs of any third broker. In no case shall the brokers used for the determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate be entitled to a commission on account of the determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, the sole compensation to be an agreed upon flat consulting fee or hourly fee. The parties shall promptly execute an amendment as set forth above.

Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit shall terminate, at Landlord’s option, if (A) a default beyond applicable notice and cure periods exists as of the date of Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Exhibit or as of the commencement date of the extended Term, (B) this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of any of the Premises is terminated, (C) as of the date of Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Exhibit or as of the commencement date of the extended Term, other than pursuant to Permitted Transfers, Tenant has assigned its interest in the Lease or sublet, or is marketing for sublease, more than thirty percent (30%) of the Total Rentable Square Footage of the Premises, or Tenant or a Permitted Transferee then fails to occupy at least sixty percent (60%) of the Total Rentable Square of the Premises, or (D) Tenant fails to timely exercise its option under this Exhibit, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise thereof. As used in this Exhibit, the “Total Rentable Square Footage of the Premises” shall mean the total rentable square footage leased to Tenant in under this Amendment, i.e., 94,159 rentable square feet until the Expansion Premises B Commencement Date, and 105,894 rentable square feet from and after the Expansion Premises B, Commencement Date, provided that if any portion of the Premises is eliminated pursuant to the casualty or condemnation provisions of the Lease, then the Total Rentable Square Footage of the Premises shall be reduced by such portion eliminated due to casualty or condemnation.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

Subject to the existing renewal or expansion options or other preferential rights of other tenants listed on Schedule D-1, attached, and Landlord’s right to extend the lease of any existing tenant (whether or not such existing tenant’s lease contains any extension or renewal rights), Landlord shall, prior to offering that certain space located on the first (1st) floor of the 200 Minuteman Building, consisting of approximately 18,304 rentable square feet, as shown as the “Offer Space” on Schedule D-2 attached hereto (the “Offer Space”), to any party (other than the then-current tenant or occupant therein) at any time during the term, first offer to lease to Tenant the Offer Space as set forth herein; such offer shall (a) be in writing, and (b) specify the lease and other material terms for the Offer Space, including the rent to be paid for the Offer Space (which shall be at the Prevailing Rental Rate), the condition in which it will be delivered to Tenant, and the date on which the Offer Space shall be included in the Premises (the “Offer Notice”). The Offer Notice shall be in a form that is substantially similar to the Offer Notice attached to this Exhibit. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant elects to lease the entire Offer Space on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice, within 10 business days after Landlord delivers to Tenant the Offer Notice. If Tenant timely elects to lease the Offer Space, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the 200 Minuteman Lease, effective as of the date the Offer Space is to be included in the Premises, on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice and otherwise on the terms of the Lease; however, Tenant shall accept the Offer Space in an “AS-IS” condition and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements except as specifically provided in the Offer Notice. To the extent that multiple tenants have rights to lease the Offer Space, Landlord may elect to deliver an Offer Notice to Tenant and such third party tenants at the same time, and if both Tenant and another third party tenant accept the Offer Notice, the party with the superior rights shall prevail.

If Tenant fails or is unable to timely exercise its right hereunder with respect to the Offer Space, then such right shall lapse with respect to such Offer Notice, time being of the essence with respect to the exercise thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to accept the Offer Space but dispute the determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate set forth in the Offer Notice by so indicating in Tenant’s timely written acceptance of the Offer Notice, in which event the Prevailing Rental Rate shall be determined in accordance with the same procedure as set forth in Exhibit C. In addition, if Landlord does not enter into a lease for the Offer Space within twelve (12) months following the date of the Offer Notice, then Landlord shall recommence the process under this Exhibit prior to entering into a lease with a third party for the Offer Space.

Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit shall terminate, at Landlord’s option, if (a) a default beyond applicable notice and cure periods exists as of the date of Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Exhibit or as of the effective date of the addition of the Offer Space to the Premises, (b) this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of any of the Premises is terminated, (c) as of the date of Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Exhibit or as of the effective date of the addition of the Offer Space to the Premises, other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, Tenant has assigned its interest in this Lease or sublet, or is marketing for sublease, any portion of the Premises, or Tenant

 

EXHIBIT D - PAGE 1


or a Permitted Transferee then fails to occupy at least sixty percent (60%) of the Total Rentable Square Footage of the Premises, (d) Tenant fails to timely exercise its option under this Exhibit, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise thereof, or (e) less than two full calendar years remain in the Term of the Lease, provided that if Tenant has any remaining extension options, Landlord shall deliver an Offer Notice but any acceptance of such Offer Notice shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s simultaneous exercise of its then-unexercised extension option. As used in this Exhibit, the “Total Rentable Square Footage of the Premises” shall mean the total rentable square footage leased to Tenant in under this Amendment, i.e., 94,159 rentable square feet until the Expansion Premises B Commencement Date, and 105,894 rentable square feet from and after the Expansion Premises B, Commencement Date, provided that if any portion of the Premises is eliminated pursuant to the casualty or condemnation provisions of the Lease, then the Total Rentable Square Footage of the Premises shall be reduced by such portion eliminated due to casualty or condemnation.

Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit shall not apply to leases that allow tenants in the 200 Minuteman Building to use such space as unfinished storage area under a license or other agreement terminable on 30 days’ notice and other temporary leases to provide temporary swing space of a period that is less than six months to tenants that ultimately will occupy other space in the 200 Minuteman Building on a permanent basis.

AMENDMENT TO PARKING EASEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT TO PARKING EASEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of this                  day of                 , 2020 (“Effective Date”), by and between ONE MINUTEMAN LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“1 Minuteman”), and WHETSTONE 30 MINUTEMAN PARK, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“30 Minuteman”).

RECITALS

A. Reference is made to that certain Parking Easement Agreement dated April 19, 2005, by and between 1 Minuteman and 30 Minuteman Limited Partnership (“Original 30 Minuteman Owner”), recorded with the Essex County North District Registry of Deeds in Book 9504, Page 175 (the “Original Parking Easement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Parking Easement.

B. 1 Minuteman is the current owner of the real estate commonly known as One Minuteman Road, Andover, Massachusetts, as more particularly described in the Original Parking Easement (the “1 Property”). 1 Minuteman also recently purchased the adjacent real estate commonly known as 161 River Road, Andover, Massachusetts and consolidated the 1 Property and this adjacent property into a new Lot 10 by recording an Approval Not Required Plan of Land on September 16, 2019, as Plan #17985 at Essex North Registry of Deeds (the 1 Property and this adjacent property together are called the “Property”) as depicted in Exhibit A-1.

C. 30 Minuteman is the successor in title to Original 30 Minuteman Owner and the current owner of 30 Minuteman Road, Andover, Massachusetts, as more particularly described in the Original Parking Easement (the “30 Property”).

D. The Original Parking Easement granted a parking easement in the 1 Property permitting the 30 Parties to use 21 Non-exclusive Spaces and 8 Exclusive Spaces. 1 Minuteman currently is redeveloping the Property (including the 1 Property) primarily for retail/commercial use (the “Redevelopment”). To enable the Redevelopment, and subject to the terms of this Amendment, the parties wish to: (a) relocate the area for Tenant’s Non-exclusive Parking to a different location on the Property as depicted in the attached parking lot plan on Exhibit A-1 attached; (b) terminate the parking easement for the 8 Exclusive Spaces at the Property; and (c) authorize and require 1 Minuteman to construct 8 new parking spaces at its cost on the 30 Property (the “New Spaces”) as depicted in Exhibit A-1.


W I T N E S S E T H:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and conditions herein contained, the parties hereby agree and modify and amend the Original Parking Easement as follows as of the Effective Date:

1. Deletion and Amendment of Certain References in Original Parking Easement. All references in the Original Parking Easement to “30 Minuteman” shall be deemed to refer to Whetstone 30 Minuteman Park, LLC. In addition: (a) effective upon the completion of the Redevelopment, all references to the area for “Tenant’s Non-exclusive Parking” and the Non-exclusive Spaces shall be deemed to mean and refer to the area identified as the “Twenty-One (21) Non-Exclusive Parking Spaces for 30 Minuteman Road” shown on Exhibit A-1 hereto, and the parking spaces therein; and (b) effective on substantial completion of the New Spaces (which shall mean that the New Spaces are available for use by the 30 Parties), all references to the “8 Visitor Parking Spaces,” the “Exclusive Spaces,” any other parking areas or spaces other than those described in subsection (a) above, and all rights, obligations and liabilities in connection with any of them, shall be deemed deleted from the Original Parking Easement and null and void.

2. Substitution of Easement Plan. Exhibit A-1 to the Original Parking Easement is hereby deleted and Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (showing the relocated area for Tenant’s Non-exclusive Parking) is hereby substituted therefor.

3. Construction of New Spaces. 1 Minuteman, at its sole cost, and with the cooperation of the 30 Parties (at no cost to the 30 Parties), will construct the New Spaces on the 30 Property as follows: (a) the New Spaces will be constructed at a location approximately as shown on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto, and will consist of 8 new, standard parking spaces (not handicapped accessible spaces) and access thereto, constructed of asphalt paving substantially similar to the existing parking spaces located on the 30 Property; (b) 1 Minuteman will contract with an experienced, Massachusetts-licensed contractor to perform the work, and will apply to the Town of Andover for necessary permits and licenses during construction of the Redevelopment; and (c) subject to weather delays or other force majeure, construction will begin promptly after necessary permits and licenses have been issued and appeal period has lapsed, in accordance with a schedule reasonably approved in advance by 1 Minuteman and 30 Minuteman, and will be performed diligently, in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with applicable laws and codes. In connection with any access and work by 1 Minuteman on the 30 Property, 1 Minuteman shall use reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with the 30 Parties’ operations on the 30 Property. During construction, the contractor will carry commercial general liability insurance of at least $2 Million combined single limit for each occurrence, including property damage and commercial automobile liability insurance (“Liability Insurance), and worker’s compensation insurance in statutory limits and employer’s liability insurance of at least $1 Million. All policies will be from creditworthy insurers, and the Liability Insurance policies will name 30 Minuteman as an additional insured. Prior to any

entry onto the 30 Property, the contractor will deliver to 30 Minuteman a certificate of insurance evidencing the required coverage. Each party irrevocably waives, for itself, its affiliates and its insurers all subrogation, substitution and similar rights of any kind, and any right to recover against the other to the extent that any loss or damage is covered or compensated by insurance of any type (which will be exhausted first). 1 Minuteman will indemnify, defend and hold harmless 30 Minuteman from all costs to construct the New Spaces, and, subject to the foregoing waiver of subrogation, all claims, liabilities, damages and losses arising from the acts or omissions of 1 Minuteman or its contractor or subcontractors or their respective officers, employees or agents while on the 30 Property (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with those claims), except to the extent those claims or resulting costs arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of the 30 Parties.

4. Temporary Spaces During Construction. 1 Minuteman has provided 6 temporary substitute spaces for the 8 Exclusive Spaces (the “Temporary Spaces”) in the same location as the New Spaces shown in Exhibit A-1 attached, and will continue to provide them until construction of the New Spaces.

5. Relocation and Redevelopment Costs. 1 Minuteman has commenced construction of the Redevelopment and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Redevelopment by June 1, 2020, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, considering weather conditions and force majeure. 30 Minuteman acknowledges that, during the Redevelopment, the 30 Parties may not have access to, or use of, some or all of the 21 Non-exclusive Spaces (and will not have access or use or any of the 8 Exclusive Spaces except for the Temporary Spaces). 1 Minuteman acknowledges and agrees that 30 Minuteman shall have no obligation or liability with respect to the Redevelopment or for any costs related to the Redevelopment, all of which shall be performed by 1 Minuteman at 1 Minuteman’s sole cost and expense. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Original Parking Easement (including Section 5(a) therein), for the period from commencement of construction for the Redevelopment until substantial completion of the parking areas thereof and relocation of 21 Non-exclusive Spaces in accordance with this Amendment as shown on Exhibit A-1 attached to this Amendment, 30 Minuteman shall have no obligation to pay its share of snowplowing, repair or maintenance costs for the entrances and parking areas at the Property. That obligation to pay will be reinstated on and after the date that 1 Minuteman notifies 30 Minuteman in writing that the relocated Tenant’s Non-exclusive Parking area is available for use by the 30 Parties; provided, however, that 30 Minuteman’s share of such costs shall be 24.4% based upon 21 / 86 = 24.4%.

6. Self-Help. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that 1 Minuteman fails to complete construction of the New Spaces by June 1, 2020 (extended for delays caused by weather conditions or other force majeure), then 30 Minuteman shall have the right, upon written notice to 1 Minuteman, to construct the New Spaces on behalf of 1 Minuteman and 1 Minuteman shall reimburse 30 Minuteman for the commercially reasonable costs thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.

7. Availability of Relocated Non-Exclusive Spaces. If following the completion of the parking areas on the Property and the relocation of the 21 Non-exclusive Spaces to the locations shown on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto, 1 Minuteman blocks or prevents access to, or use of, the relocated 21 Non-exclusive Spaces (other than in connection with maintenance, repairs, reconstruction, weather conditions or other force majeure for commercially reasonable periods under the circumstances), then 1 Minuteman shall work together with 30 Minuteman, in good faith, in order to resolve such restriction in the 30 Parties’ access to, and use of, the relocated 21 Non-exclusive Spaces.

8. Amendment to Section 5(c) of Original Parking Easement. Section 5(c) of the Original Parking Easement is hereby amended by adding the following clause at the beginning thereof: “Except to the extent caused by 1 Minuteman or its agents, contractors, employees, licensee or invitees,”.

9. Notice Addresses. Effective as of the Effective Date, Section 6 of the Original Parking Easement is hereby modified to reflect the parties’ respective current addresses for notices as follows:

1.5 “Former Landlord” means Landlord and any other party that was landlord under the Lease at any time before the occurrence of any attornment under this Agreement.

1.6 “Governmental Authority” or “Governmental Authorities” means the government of the United States or any other nation, or of any political subdivision thereof, whether state or local, and any agency, authority, instrumentality, regulatory body, court, central bank or other entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, taxing, regulatory or administrative powers or functions of or pertaining to government.

With respect to Tenant and the Tenant Premises, “Law” or “Laws” includes all Laws pertaining to the construction, sale, leasing or use of the improvements and to access and facilities for handicapped or disabled persons.

1.8 “Loan Documents” mean the Mortgage and any other document now or hereafter evidencing, governing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Loan, including any promissory note and/or loan agreement, pertaining to the repayment or use of the Loan proceeds or to any of the real or personal property, or interests therein, securing the Loan, as such documents or any of them may have been or may be from time to time hereafter renewed, extended, supplemented, increased or modified.

1.9 “Offset Right” means any right or alleged right of Tenant to any offset, defense (other than one arising from actual payment and performance, which payment and performance would bind a Successor Landlord pursuant to this Agreement), claim, counterclaim, reduction, deduction, or abatement against Tenant’s payment of Rent or performance of Tenant’s other obligations under the Lease, arising (whether under the Lease or other applicable law) from Landlord’s breach or default under the Lease.

3. Nondisturbance; Recognition; and Attornment.

3.1 No Exercise of Mortgage Remedies Against Tenant. So long as the Lease has not been terminated on account of Tenant’s default that has continued beyond applicable cure periods (an “Event of Default”), neither Agent nor any Lender shall name or join Tenant as a defendant in any judicial action or proceeding that is commenced pursuant to the exercise of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies arising upon a default by Landlord under the Mortgage unless (a) applicable law requires Tenant to be made a party

thereto as a condition to proceeding against Landlord or in order to prosecute or otherwise fully enforce such rights and remedies; or (b) such joinder of Tenant is required for the recovery by Agent of any Rent at any time owing by Tenant under the Lease, whether pursuant to the assignment of rents set forth in the Mortgage or otherwise; or (c) such joinder is required in order to enforce any right of Agent or any Lender to enter Landlord’s Premises for the purpose of making any inspection or assessment, or in order to protect the value of Agent’s security provided by the Mortgage. In any instance in which Agent or any Lender is permitted to join Tenant as a defendant as provided above, Agent agrees not to terminate the Lease or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s rights under the Lease or this Agreement in or pursuant to such action or proceeding. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not be construed in any manner that would prevent Agent from (i) carrying out any nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding under the Mortgage, or (ii) obtaining the appointment of a receiver for the Landlord’s Premises as and when permitted under applicable law.

3.2 Nondisturbance and Attornment. If the Lease has not been terminated on account of an Event of Default by Tenant, then, when Successor Landlord takes title to Landlord’s Premises: (a) Successor Landlord shall not terminate or disturb Tenant’s possession of Tenant’s Premises under the Lease, except in accordance with the terms of the Lease and this Agreement; (b) Successor Landlord shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms and conditions of the Lease (except as provided in this Agreement); (c) Tenant shall recognize and attorn to Successor Landlord as Tenant’s direct landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement; and (d) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease, in accordance with its terms (except as provided in this Agreement), between Successor Landlord and Tenant.

3.3 Use of Proceeds. Agent, in making any advances of the Loan pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall be under no obligation or duty to, nor has Agent represented to Tenant that it will, see to the application of such proceeds by the person or persons to whom Agent disburses such advances, and any application or use of such proceeds for purposes other than those provided for in any Loan Document shall not defeat Tenant’s agreement to subordinate the Lease in whole or in part as set forth in this Agreement.

3.4 Further Documentation. The provisions of this Article shall be effective and self-operative without any need for Successor Landlord or Tenant to execute any further documents. Tenant and Successor Landlord shall, however, confirm the provisions of this Article in writing within fifteen (15) days after request by either of them.

3.5 Default Under Mortgage. In the event that Agent notifies Tenant of a default under the Mortgage and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Agent, on behalf of Lenders, Tenant shall honor such demand and pay the full amount of its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Agent, without offset, or as otherwise required pursuant to such notice beginning within thirty (30) days after such notice of default, without inquiry as to whether a default actually exists under the Mortgage and notwithstanding any contrary instructions of or demands from Landlord. The consent and approval of Landlord to this Agreement shall constitute an express authorization for Tenant to make such payments to Agent and a release and discharge of all liability of Tenant to Landlord for any such payments made to Agent in compliance with Agent’s written demand.

4. Protection of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the Mortgage, Successor Landlord shall not be liable for or bound by any of the following matters:

4.1 Claims Against Former Landlord. Any Offset Right that Tenant may have against any Former Landlord relating to any event or occurrence before the date of attornment, including any claim for damages of any kind whatsoever as the result of any breach by Former Landlord that occurred before the date of attornment; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit (a) Tenant’s right to exercise against Successor Landlord any Offset Right (including, without limitation, any Offset Right available to Tenant

 

4


pursuant to the terms of the Lease because of events continuing as of or after the date of attornment (but only for damages or abatements accruing from and after the date of attornment), or (b) Successor Landlord’s obligation to correct any conditions that existed as of the date of attornment and violate Successor Landlord’s obligations as landlord under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord has not, as of the date on which Successor Owner obtains title to and possession of the Property free of occupancy and claims to occupancy by Landlord and its representatives, successors and assigns, fully funded the Work Allowance (as defined in the Lease) pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Successor Landlord may decline to fund any or all of the Work Allowance and Tenant will have the right (as its sole right, remedy, and/or recourse with respect to such election not to fund any of the Work Allowance) to offset from base rent next accruing the unfunded Work Allowance to the extent such unfunded Work Allowance would otherwise have been due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Lease if advanced when due. Tenant hereby confirms that the aggregate amount of the Work Allowance is $3,388,608.00.

4.2 Acts or Omissions of Former Landlord. Any act, omission, default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty, of any previous landlord (including Former Landlord) or obligations accruing prior to Successor Landlord’s actual ownership of the Landlord’s Premises; provided the foregoing shall not limit Tenant’s right to exercise Offset Rights as provided in Section 4.1 above.

4.3 Prepayments. Any payment of Rent that Tenant may have made to Former Landlord more than thirty (30) days before the date such Rent was first due and payable under the Lease with respect to any period after the date of attornment other than, and only to the extent that, the Lease expressly required such a prepayment.

4.4 Payment; Security Deposit. Any obligation (a) to pay Tenant any sum(s) that any Former Landlord owed to Tenant, other than a security deposit or letter of credit deposited with Former Landlord to the extent the same was actually delivered to Agent (and, in the case of a letter of credit delivered to Agent, only to the extent of undrawn amounts under such letter of credit when received by Agent). Provided the security deposit or letter of credit (to the extent of undrawn amounts) was delivered to Agent, any rights of offset provided for in the Lease will apply. Upon written notice to Tenant, Agent will provide confirmation to Tenant as to whether or not Agent holds a security deposit or letter of credit, such confirmation to be provided within ten (10) business days of Lender’s receipt of Tenant’s written request. This Section is not intended to apply to Landlord’s obligation to make any payment that constitutes a Construction-Related Obligation.

4.5 Modification; Amendment; or Waiver. Any material modification or material amendment of the Lease, or any waiver of any material terms of the Lease, made without Agent’s written consent. For purposes hereof, a “material” amendment, modification or waiver of any material terms means one that reduces the rent, term, size of Tenant’s Premises or Tenant’s obligation to pay operating expense reimbursements or common area charges; transfers to Landlord costs or expenses previously paid by Tenant; adds options on the part of Tenant to expand Tenant’s Premises or to purchase Landlord’s Premises; or otherwise materially increases Landlord’s obligations or decreases Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.

4.6 Surrender; Etc. Any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation, or termination of the Lease, in whole or in part, agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant, unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease.

4.7 Construction-Related Obligations. Any Construction-Related Obligation of Landlord under the Lease; provided the foregoing shall not limit Tenant’s right to exercise Offset Rights as provided in Section 4.1 above.

 

5


5. Exculpation of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Lease, upon any attornment pursuant to this Agreement the Lease shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to provide that Successor Landlord’s obligations and liability under the Lease shall never extend beyond Successor Landlord’s (or its successors’ or assigns’) interest, if any, in Landlord’s Premises from time to time, including insurance and condemnation proceeds, Successor Landlord’s interest in the Lease, and the proceeds from any sale or other disposition of Landlord’s Premises by Successor Landlord (collectively, “Successor Landlord’s Interest”). Tenant shall look exclusively to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) for payment or discharge of any obligations of Successor Landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement. If Tenant obtains any money judgment against Successor Landlord with respect to the Lease or the relationship between Successor Landlord and Tenant, then Tenant shall look solely to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) to collect such judgment. Tenant shall not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Landlord. In addition to any limitation of liability set forth in this Agreement, Agent, Lenders and/or their respective successors and assigns shall under no circumstances be liable for any incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages.

6. Agent’s Right to Cure.

6.1 Notice to Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Agreement, before exercising any Termination Right, Tenant shall provide Agent with notice of the breach or default by Landlord giving rise to same (the “Default Notice”) and, thereafter, the opportunity to cure such breach or default as provided for below.

6.2 Agent’s Cure Period. After Agent receives a Default Notice, Agent shall have a period of thirty (30) days beyond the time available to Landlord under the Lease in which to cure the breach or default by Landlord; provided that Agent delivers to Tenant written notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Default Notice that Agent intends to exercise reasonable efforts to cure the breach or default by Landlord. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to cure (and shall have no liability or obligation for not curing) any breach or default by Landlord, except to the extent that Agent or such Lender agrees or undertakes otherwise in writing.

6.3 Extended Cure Period. In addition, as to any breach or default by Landlord the cure of which requires possession and control of Landlord’s Premises, provided only that Agent undertakes to Tenant by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Default Notice to exercise reasonable efforts to cure or cause to be cured by a receiver such breach or default within the period permitted by this Section, Agent’s cure period shall continue for such additional time (the “Extended Cure Period”) as Agent may reasonably require to either (a) obtain possession and control of Landlord’s Premises and thereafter cure the breach or default with reasonable diligence and continuity, or (b) obtain the appointment of a receiver and give such receiver a reasonable period of time in which to cure the default; provided that in no event shall such extension exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate.

7. Confirmation of Facts. Tenant represents to Agent, Lenders and to any Successor Landlord, in each case as of the Effective Date:

7.1 No Violations of Laws. Tenant has not violated, and shall not violate, any Laws affecting Tenant’s Premises, including the Controlled Substances Act, or which could otherwise result in the commencement of a judicial or nonjudicial forfeiture or seizure proceeding by a Governmental Authority (including the commencement of any proceedings under the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act) on the grounds that Tenant’s Premises or any part thereof has been used to commit or facilitate the commission of a criminal offense by any person, including Tenant, pursuant to any Law, including the Controlled Substances Act, regardless of whether or not Tenant’s Premises is or shall become subject to forfeiture or seizure in connection therewith.

Attn: Barbara Trachtenberg, Esq.

8.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and benefit the parties, their successors and assigns, any Successor Landlord, and its successors and assigns. If Agent assigns the Mortgage, then upon delivery to Tenant of written notice thereof accompanied by the assignee’s written assumption of all obligations under this Agreement, all liability of the assignor shall terminate.

8.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Agent, Lenders and Tenant regarding the subordination of the Lease to the Mortgage and the rights and obligations of Agent, Lenders and Tenant as to the subject matter of this Agreement.

8.4 Interaction with Lease and with Mortgage; Severability. If this Agreement conflicts with the Lease, then this Agreement shall govern as between the parties and any Successor Landlord, including upon any attornment pursuant to this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes, and constitutes full compliance with, any provisions in the Lease that provide for subordination of the Lease to, or for delivery of nondisturbance agreements by the holder of, the Mortgage. Agent confirms that Agent has consented to Landlord’s entering into the Lease. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be considered severed from the rest of this Agreement and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect as if such provision had not been included.

8.5 Agent’s and Lenders’ Rights and Obligations. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligations to Tenant with respect to the Lease. If an attornment occurs pursuant to this Agreement, then all rights and obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement shall terminate, without thereby affecting in any way the rights and obligations of Successor Landlord provided for in this Agreement. All rights and remedies referenced herein in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and shall be exercised or not exercised by the Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents. References contained herein to the “Lenders” shall be deemed to mean any or all of them, as applicable.

8.8 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.9 Agent’s Representation. Agent represents that Agent has full authority to enter into this Agreement, and Agent’s entry into this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary actions.

8.10 Reliance by Agent and Lenders. Tenant acknowledges the right of Agent and Lenders (as well as any Successor Landlord) to rely upon the certifications and agreements in this Agreement in making the Loan to Landlord.

If the Lease has not been terminated on account of an Event of Default by Tenant, then, when Successor Landlord takes title to Landlord’s Premises: (a) Successor Landlord shall not terminate or disturb Tenant’s possession of Tenant’s Premises under the Lease, except in accordance with the terms of the Lease and this Agreement; (b) Successor Landlord shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms and conditions of the Lease (except as provided in this Agreement); (c) Tenant shall recognize and attorn to Successor Landlord as Tenant’s direct landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement; and (d) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease, in accordance with its terms (except as provided in this Agreement), between Successor Landlord and Tenant.

3.4 Further Documentation. The provisions of this Article shall be effective and self-operative without any need for Successor Landlord or Tenant to execute any further documents. Tenant and Successor Landlord shall, however, confirm the provisions of this Article in writing within fifteen (15) days after request by either of them.

3.5 Default Under Mortgage. In the event that Agent notifies Tenant of a default under the Mortgage and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Agent, on behalf of Lenders, Tenant shall honor such demand and pay the full amount of its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Agent, without offset, or as otherwise required pursuant to such notice beginning within thirty (30) days after such notice of default, without inquiry as to whether a default actually exists under the Mortgage and notwithstanding any contrary instructions of or demands from Landlord. The consent and approval of Landlord to this Agreement shall constitute an express authorization for Tenant to make such payments to Agent and a release and discharge of all liability of Tenant to Landlord for any such payments made to Agent in compliance with Agent’s written demand.

4. Protection of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the Mortgage, Successor Landlord shall not be liable for or bound by any of the following matters:

4.1 Claims Against Former Landlord. Any Offset Right that Tenant may have against any Former Landlord relating to any event or occurrence before the date of attornment, including any claim for damages of any kind whatsoever as the result of any breach by Former Landlord that occurred before the date of attornment; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit (a) Tenant’s right to exercise against Successor Landlord any Offset Right (including, without limitation, any Offset Right available to Tenant

pursuant to the terms of the Lease because of events continuing as of or after the date of attornment (but only for damages or abatements accruing from and after the date of attornment), or (b) Successor Landlord’s obligation to correct any conditions that existed as of the date of attornment and violate Successor Landlord’s obligations as landlord under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord has not, as of the date on which Successor Owner obtains title to and possession of the Property free of occupancy and claims to occupancy by Landlord and its representatives, successors and assigns, fully funded the Work Allowance (as defined in the Lease) pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Successor Landlord may decline to fund any or all of the Work Allowance and Tenant will have the right (as its sole right, remedy, and/or recourse with respect to such election not to fund any of the Work Allowance) to offset from base rent next accruing the unfunded Work Allowance to the extent such unfunded Work Allowance would otherwise have been due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Lease if advanced when due. Tenant hereby confirms that the aggregate amount of the Work Allowance is $3,388,608.00.

4.2 Acts or Omissions of Former Landlord. Any act, omission, default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty, of any previous landlord (including Former Landlord) or obligations accruing prior to Successor Landlord’s actual ownership of the Landlord’s Premises; provided the foregoing shall not limit Tenant’s right to exercise Offset Rights as provided in Section 4.1 above.

4.3 Prepayments. Any payment of Rent that Tenant may have made to Former Landlord more than thirty (30) days before the date such Rent was first due and payable under the Lease with respect to any period after the date of attornment other than, and only to the extent that, the Lease expressly required such a prepayment.

4.4 Payment; Security Deposit. Any obligation (a) to pay Tenant any sum(s) that any Former Landlord owed to Tenant, other than a security deposit or letter of credit deposited with Former Landlord to the extent the same was actually delivered to Agent (and, in the case of a letter of credit delivered to Agent, only to the extent of undrawn amounts under such letter of credit when received by Agent). Provided the security deposit or letter of credit (to the extent of undrawn amounts) was delivered to Agent, any rights of offset provided for in the Lease will apply. Upon written notice to Tenant, Agent will provide confirmation to Tenant as to whether or not Agent holds a security deposit or letter of credit, such confirmation to be provided within ten (10) business days of Lender’s receipt of Tenant’s written request. This Section is not intended to apply to Landlord’s obligation to make any payment that constitutes a Construction-Related Obligation.

4.5 Modification; Amendment; or Waiver. Any material modification or material amendment of the Lease, or any waiver of any material terms of the Lease, made without Agent’s written consent. For purposes hereof, a “material” amendment, modification or waiver of any material terms means one that reduces the rent, term, size of Tenant’s Premises or Tenant’s obligation to pay operating expense reimbursements or common area charges; transfers to Landlord costs or expenses previously paid by Tenant; adds options on the part of Tenant to expand Tenant’s Premises or to purchase Landlord’s Premises; or otherwise materially increases Landlord’s obligations or decreases Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.

4.6 Surrender; Etc. Any consensual or negotiated surrender, cancellation, or termination of the Lease, in whole or in part, agreed upon between Landlord and Tenant, unless effected unilaterally by Tenant pursuant to the express terms of the Lease.

4.7 Construction-Related Obligations. Any Construction-Related Obligation of Landlord under the Lease; provided the foregoing shall not limit Tenant’s right to exercise Offset Rights as provided in Section 4.1 above.

5. Exculpation of Successor Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Lease, upon any attornment pursuant to this Agreement the Lease shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to provide that Successor Landlord’s obligations and liability under the Lease shall never extend beyond Successor Landlord’s (or its successors’ or assigns’) interest, if any, in Landlord’s Premises from time to time, including insurance and condemnation proceeds, Successor Landlord’s interest in the Lease, and the proceeds from any sale or other disposition of Landlord’s Premises by Successor Landlord (collectively, “Successor Landlord’s Interest”). Tenant shall look exclusively to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) for payment or discharge of any obligations of Successor Landlord under the Lease as affected by this Agreement. If Tenant obtains any money judgment against Successor Landlord with respect to the Lease or the relationship between Successor Landlord and Tenant, then Tenant shall look solely to Successor Landlord’s Interest (or that of its successors and assigns) to collect such judgment. Tenant shall not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Landlord. In addition to any limitation of liability set forth in this Agreement, Agent, Lenders and/or their respective successors and assigns shall under no circumstances be liable for any incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages.

6. Agent’s Right to Cure.

6.1 Notice to Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Agreement, before exercising any Termination Right, Tenant shall provide Agent with notice of the breach or default by Landlord giving rise to same (the “Default Notice”) and, thereafter, the opportunity to cure such breach or default as provided for below.

6.2 Agent’s Cure Period. After Agent receives a Default Notice, Agent shall have a period of thirty (30) days beyond the time available to Landlord under the Lease in which to cure the breach or default by Landlord; provided that Agent delivers to Tenant written notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Default Notice that Agent intends to exercise reasonable efforts to cure the breach or default by Landlord. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to cure (and shall have no liability or obligation for not curing) any breach or default by Landlord, except to the extent that Agent or such Lender agrees or undertakes otherwise in writing.

6.3 Extended Cure Period. In addition, as to any breach or default by Landlord the cure of which requires possession and control of Landlord’s Premises, provided only that Agent undertakes to Tenant by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Default Notice to exercise reasonable efforts to cure or cause to be cured by a receiver such breach or default within the period permitted by this Section, Agent’s cure period shall continue for such additional time (the “Extended Cure Period”) as Agent may reasonably require to either (a) obtain possession and control of Landlord’s Premises and thereafter cure the breach or default with reasonable diligence and continuity, or (b) obtain the appointment of a receiver and give such receiver a reasonable period of time in which to cure the default; provided that in no event shall such extension exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate.

7. Confirmation of Facts. Tenant represents to Agent, Lenders and to any Successor Landlord, in each case as of the Effective Date:

7.1 No Violations of Laws. Tenant has not violated, and shall not violate, any Laws affecting Tenant’s Premises, including the Controlled Substances Act, or which could otherwise result in the commencement of a judicial or nonjudicial forfeiture or seizure proceeding by a Governmental Authority (including the commencement of any proceedings under the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act) on the grounds that Tenant’s Premises or any part thereof has been used to commit or facilitate the commission of a criminal offense by any person, including Tenant, pursuant to any Law, including the Controlled Substances Act, regardless of whether or not Tenant’s Premises is or shall become subject to forfeiture or seizure in connection therewith.
