Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 17, 2018, Appian Corporation (the “Company”), as tenant, and Tamares 7950 Owner LLC, as landlord (“Landlord”), entered into a Deed of Lease (the “Lease”) for certain premises consisting of approximately 176,222 square feet of space in an office building located at 7950 Jones Branch Drive, Tysons, Virginia 22102 (the “Premises”), to serve as the Company’s new corporate headquarters.

The Company can take possession of the Premises for purposes of building tenant improvements as early as October

1, 2018 or as late as December 1, 2018. The initial term of the Lease will commence no later than May 1, 2019, when the Company takes occupancy following the completion of such tenant improvements to the Premises, and expires 150 months later, unless earlier terminated, with an option to extend the Lease term for two consecutive five-year periods. No annual rent is due for the first 15 months of the initial term of the Lease, after which time the monthly base rent will be $450,835, subject to a 3% annual increase. If the initial term of the Lease is extended for one or both of the optional five-year periods, the rent will be adjusted based on fair market rental value. Within 12 months of the commencement of the initial term of the Lease, an additional 28,805 square feet of adjacent office space will be added to the Premises (the “Must-Take Space”). No annual rent is due for a prorated period of time following the addition of the Must-Take Space to the Premises, after which time the monthly base rent for the Must-Take Space will be $73,693, subject to a 3% annual increase. The Company will receive parking permits in accordance with the size of the Premises and will pay a monthly fee of approximately $87 per parking permit beginning 73 months following the commencement of the initial term of the Lease, subject to a 2.5% annual increase beginning 85 months following the commencement of the initial term of the Lease. The Company also has agreed to pay a portion of taxes and operating expenses paid or accrued in connection with the ownership of the Premises. The Landlord has agreed to make certain tenant improvement payments to the Company for purposes of defraying the Company’s cost to build out the Premises, the Must-Take Space and any other space leased by the Company pursuant to the Lease.

Provided that certain conditions are met, the Company has a right of first refusal to lease any vacant space located in the same building as the Premises and has the express right to expand the Premises to include up to three additional adjacent floors of office space, containing approximately 91,673 square feet of space in aggregate, as further described in the Lease. The Lease includes customary provisions providing for late fees for unpaid rent, Landlord access to the Premises, insurance obligations and events of default.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Lease does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with entering into the Lease, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Sublease (the “Termination Amendment”) with College Entrance Examination Board (“College Board”), which will terminate the Sublease Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2013, by and between the Company and College Board (as amended, the “Sublease”). Pursuant to the Termination Amendment, the Sublease will terminate in two stages, with the termination of a majority of the premises taking place on May 31, 2019, rather than July 31, 2021 as originally contemplated by the Sublease. The foregoing description of the terms of the Termination Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Termination Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

entitled to a non-exclusive license that is irrevocable during the Term at no additional charge to use the server room in the area of the sixth (6th) floor of the South Tower depicted on Exhibit A-17 (the “Server Room”) for the storage and operation of Tenant’s computer servers and related equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not grant to any other tenant at the Project rights to use the Server Room. Landlord shall retain the right to continue to use the Server Room for the storage, maintenance and operation of the Building equipment presently located therein as such may be supplemented or replaced by Landlord from time to time in Landlord’s sole and absolute judgment. Tenant shall cooperate at Tenant’s sole cost and expense with all reasonable requests by Landlord in connection with the exercise by Landlord of such rights. Landlord shall have no liability for loss, damage, disruption or theft of Tenant’s computer servers and related equipment stored in the Server Room, unless caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Pursuant to the foregoing license, Tenant shall have the right to a proportionate share of all sleeve risers in the South Tower from the Building’s DMARC to the Server Room and the Premises for the connection of Tenant’s required communication services to the Premises, which communication services shall be provided by the vendor(s) of Tenant’s choice and Landlord shall cooperate in accommodating such service (without additional charge to Tenant or Tenant’s vendor unless Landlord incurs costs related thereto) and shall provide reasonable access to and within the Project for said services, provided such services do not interfere with the communication services presently serving the Project. Landlord shall cause a portion of the Server Closet as exists on the date of this Lease to be demised and included within the Sixth Floor Premises as depicted on Exhibit A-6. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the actual and reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

1.2 Project and Common Areas. The land upon which the Building is situated, which is generally depicted on the diagram attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the “Site Plan”) and incorporated herein by reference, shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Land”. The Land, the Building, the Common Areas (as defined below), and the adjacent parking garage are collectively referred to herein as the “Project”. The location and dimensions of the Original Premises are shown on the conceptual floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 through Exhibit A-7, inclusive, and incorporated herein by reference. No easements, including an easement for light or air, is incorporated in or intended to be conveyed with the Premises. For the purposes hereof, the term “Building” means the approximately 705,092 rentable square foot structure located on the Land, which consists of the North Tower and the South Tower. “North Tower” means the portion of the Building adjacent to Dulles Toll Road consisting of nine (9) floors. “South Tower” means the portion of the Building adjacent to Jones Branch Drive consisting of twelve (12) floors. The rentable square footage of the Building has been computed in accordance with the Measurement Standard except that the outdoor space depicted on Exhibit B-1.1 (the “Fourth Floor Outdoor Space”) has been excluded from such computation. Tenant shall not be responsible for any Operating Costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the maintenance of, or any capital expenditures incurred by Landlord in improving or altering, the Fourth Floor Outdoor Space. The rentable square footages for the Premises, the Building and all Expansion Rights (as defined in Section 1.19.1) space as set forth in this Lease and in the Exhibits attached hereto shall be fixed for all purposes of this Lease and shall not subject to re-measurement.

1.3 Parking. Tenant shall have the right (together with Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors, and together with the rights of other tenants in the Building and the Project) to use, from the parking areas available to the Project in the parking structure and surface parking on the Project and Common Areas, three (3.0) parking permits for each one thousand (1,000) rentable square feet of the Premises. Except as set forth in Section 11.1 of the Summary, such parking right shall be non-exclusive, and on an unreserved basis, and Tenant agrees not to overburden the Building’s parking facilities. Landlord shall provide in the leases for other tenants at the Project and/or in the rules and regulations applicable to the Building that no tenant shall overburden the Building’s parking facilities and Landlord shall enforce such provisions in a uniform and commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant desires additional parking permits beyond the permits in Section 11.2 of the Summary, Tenant shall have the right to secure them from Landlord at market terms and subject to availability, in each case as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole but reasonable judgment; provided however, that for so long as Tenant has not assigned this Lease (other than a Permitted Assignment) and shall have not entered into a Disqualifying Sublease, Tenant’s rights to such additional parking permits shall be superior to the rights of any non-tenants of the Project to obtain parking permits and to the rights of Building tenants to obtain parking permits in excess of three (3) per one thousand (1,000) square feet of space being leased in the Project (the “Superior Additional Parking Rights”). In addition, in no event shall Landlord grant reserved parking spaces to another tenant of the Project in a ratio that is higher than the ratio being provided to Tenant. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to erect signage or paint Tenant’s reserved parking spaces to indicate the same are to be exclusively used by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall not issue Parking Permits to tenants or other third parties to such an extent that Landlord would then be unable to provide Parking Permits to Tenant in accordance with the allocation ratio set forth above for the Original Premises, the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space or any space covered by an Expansion Right that Tenant has exercised in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Parking Permit Fees set forth in Section 1.12 below.

1.4 Project Amenities. The amenities described on Exhibit C-1.1 (the “Project Amenities”) shall be provided at the Project during the Term and shall be operational as of the Commencement Date.

Landlord shall have the right from time to time following the Commencement Date to alter or make substitutions to the Project Amenities; provided however that, so long as Tenant has not assigned the Lease other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer and has not entered into a Rights Reduction Sublease or Disqualifying Sublease (pursuant to, and as such terms are defined in Section 18.9 and Section 18.10), Tenant shall have the right to approve any material alterations or substitutions to the Project Amenities, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Restaurant (as defined in Exhibit B-5) is not open for business by November 1, 2020, as such date may be extended by reason of Tenant Delays (as defined in and as provided for in Exhibit B-5), Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the monthly Base Rent accruing from and after such date in the amount of Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) per month.

1.5 Condition of Original Premises. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease and in the Work Letter (defined in Exhibit C-2), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Original Premises, and Tenant shall accept the Original Premises broom clean, with all Building systems serving the Original Premises in good condition and working order, and otherwise in its AS IS condition on the Lease Commencement Date.

Base Rent and Additional Rent under this Lease for any partial month at the beginning or end of the Lease Term shall be prorated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided there does not exist a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder (or if a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default then exists, the right to abatement shall toll until such monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default, as applicable, has been cured in full, provided that Landlord has not exercised its remedies under Article 21), Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay the monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes otherwise payable by Tenant for the Original Premises (the “Abated Rent”) for the first fifteen (15) months of the initial Lease Term commencing as of the Commencement Date (the “Original Premises Abated Rent Period”). During the Original Premises Abated Rent Period, Tenant shall remain responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease.

1.13 Additional Rent. Tenant’s Share (as hereinafter defined) of Real Estate Taxes (as defined in Article 9) and Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 8.6) and any other sum owed or reimbursable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (excluding Base Rent) shall be considered additional rent hereunder (collectively “Additional Rent”), and shall be payable without demand, set-off or deduction, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Lease.

1.14 Tenant’s Share. “Tenant’s Share” shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the total rentable square footage of the Premises as determined in accordance with Section 1.1 hereof, and the denominator of which is the total rentable square footage of the Building. Based upon the estimated square footage of the Building and the Premises as set forth in Section 1.1 and Section 1.2 above, Tenant’s Share as of the date of this Lease shall be 24.99%. Tenant’s Share shall be adjusted as provided for hereafter in Sections 1.15.6, Section 1.16.6, Section 1.17.5, Section 1.18.3, and Section 1.19.5 and in connection with Tenant’s exercise of the ROFO.

1.15 Fifth Floor Must-Take Space.

1.15.1 Addition of Fifth Floor Must-Take Space to the Premises. Upon the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), the Premises shall be expanded to include the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.15.

1.15.2 Description of Fifth Floor Must-Take Space; As used in this Lease, the “Fifth Floor Must-Take Space” shall mean that certain space containing approximately twenty-eight thousand eight hundred five (28,805) rentable square feet (measured in accordance with the Measurement Standard) comprising the entire rentable area of the fifth (5th) floor of the South Tower, and depicted on Exhibit A-8 attached hereto.

1.15.3 Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Term. The Fifth Floor Must-Take Space shall become part of the Premises for all purposes under this Lease effective as of the earlier of (i) the date upon which Tenant commences business operations in the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space, and (ii) the date which is the first (1st) day of the thirteenth (13th) month after the Commencement Date (the “Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date”). The lease term for the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space (the “Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Term”) shall commence upon the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date and shall expire co-terminously with the Term for the Premises, as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space in advance of the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date for Tenant to construct its initial Alterations, install furniture, fixtures, equipment, and cabling, and otherwise ready the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space for beneficial occupancy.

1.15.4 Base Rent for Fifth Floor Must-Take Space. The Base Rent payable for the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space during the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Term shall be as set forth in Section 9.2 of the Summary and shall commence on the Fifth Floor Rent Commencement Date (defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided there does not exist a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder (or if a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default

 

6


then exists, the right to abatement shall toll until such monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default, as applicable, has been cured in full, provided that Landlord has not exercised its remedies under Article 21), Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay the monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes otherwise payable by Tenant for the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space (the “Fifth Floor Abated Rent”) for a period (the “Fifth Floor Abated Rent Period”) equal to the Original Premises Abated Rent Period as pro-rated in accordance with the ratio that the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Term bears to the Lease Term (if the result contains an integer, such integer shall be converted to an appropriate number of days). For example, if the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date occurs on the date specified in clause (ii) of Section 1.15.3 above, the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Term would be 138 months, the Lease Term is 150 months, the Original Premises Abated Rent Period is 15 months, and the resultant Fifth Floor Abated Rent Period would be 13 months and 24 days (i.e., 138/150 = .92; .92 x 15 = 13.8; 13.8 converted to months and days = 13 months and 24 days). During the Fifth Floor Abated Rent Period, Tenant shall remain responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in the early termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Article 21 below, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 21 below, the Fifth Floor Abated Rent shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Term, assuming equal monthly payments, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover the unamortized portion of the same (i.e., the monthly payments as so determined) falling within the remaining Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Term.

1.15.5 The “Fifth Floor Rent Commencement Date” shall occur on the date immediately succeeding the last day of the Fifth Floor Abated Rent Period.

1.15.6 Tenant’s Share. Upon the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date, Tenant’s Share (as defined below and set forth in Section 1.14 above) shall be increased to 29.08% to take into account the addition of the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space as provided in this Section 1.15.

1.15.7 Required Condition of Fifth Floor Must-Take Space. Except for compliance with Landlord’s Delivery Conditions and as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.15.7, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space, and Tenant shall accept the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space broom clean, with all Building systems serving the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space in good condition and working order, and otherwise in its AS IS condition on the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to help Tenant pay for the fees and costs of architect, engineer, project manager, and all tenant improvement-related costs, communications cabling, security systems, back-up power systems, audio-visual systems and signage costs of the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space, and provided that Tenant may apply a certain portion of the Fifth Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance to moving, furniture and equipment with regard Tenant’s occupancy of the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space as provided in the Work Letter, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the “Fifth Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance”) in the amount of up to, but not to exceed, the Original Premises

 

7


Tenant Improvement Allowance (on a per rentable square foot basis) as pro-rated in accordance with the ratio that the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Term bears to the Lease Term (with the results of all calculations rounded to the nearest hundredth). For example, if the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date occurs on January 1, 2020, the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Term would be one hundred forty-two (142) months, the Lease Term is one hundred fifty (150) months, the Original Premises Tenant Improvement Allowance per rentable square foot is $90.00, and the resultant Fifth Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance would be $2,454,186 (i.e., 142/150 = .95; .95 x 90 = 85.20; 85.20 x 28,805 = $2,454,186). Tenant shall not be required to pay any of the following with regard to the Fifth Floor fit-out: the cost of electricity, water, sewer, heating and air conditioning, freight elevator usage, operator costs, staging area usage, use of the Building’s loading docks, security guard service, Building engineer oversight or review, or Landlord supervisory fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall pay or reimburse to Landlord within thirty (30) days following demand (i) Landlord’s standard charges for after-hours engineering, operator, or Building staff services requested by Tenant or reasonably required by Landlord, and (ii) reasonably incurred, necessary and actual out-of-pocket review costs payable to third party architects and engineers. All of the terms and conditions set forth in the Work Letter shall apply to the Fifth Floor Tenant Improvements and Fifth Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance, mutatis mutandis. Tenant shall have the right (the “Must-Take Accelerated Fit-Out Right”) to construct the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space together with the Original Premises Tenant Improvements, in which case Landlord shall provide the Fifth Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance (based on the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date described in clause (ii) of Section 1.15.3) to Tenant together with the Original Premises Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with the terms of the Work Letter. Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to commencing any work of its intent to exercise the Must-Take Accelerated Fit-Out Right. If the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date becomes effective earlier than the date used to calculate the Fifth Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance as provided in this Section 1.15.7, Tenant shall be entitled to receive, subject to all of the terms and conditions of Exhibit C-2, an increase in the Fifth Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance based on what the Fifth Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance would have been as a result of the earlier Fifth Floor Must-Take Space Commencement Date, and Tenant shall be entitled to credit the additional Fifth Floor Tenant Improvement Allowance against the next installment of Rent that becomes due and owing.

1.15.8 Other Terms. Effective from and after the Fifth Floor Must-Take Commencement Date, the definition of Premises shall be expanded to include the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space and thereafter, except as specifically set forth in this Section 1.15, all other terms of this Lease shall apply to the Fifth Floor Must-Take Space as part of the Premises, and all calculations which are based upon the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be recalculated to take into account the greater rentable square footage resulting from the expansion (by way of example rather than limitation, the calculation of the number of Tenant’s Parking Permits).

1.16 Fixed Date Expansion Options.

 

8


1.16.1 Addition of Fixed Date Expansion Space to the Premises. So long as Tenant has not assigned the Lease other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer and has not entered into a Rights Reduction Sublease or Disqualifying Sublease (pursuant to, and as such terms are defined in Section 18.9 and Section 18.10), Tenant shall have the right and option to cause the Premises to be expanded to include the Seventh Floor Expansion Space (the “Seventh Floor Expansion Option”), the Eighth Floor Expansion Space (the “Eighth Floor Expansion Option”) and the Ninth Floor Expansion Space (the “Ninth Floor Expansion Option”) (each of the foregoing, sometimes referred to herein as a “Fixed Date Expansion Option” and collectively as, the “Fixed Date Expansion Options”) or any combination of one or more of the foregoing, by delivery to Landlord of written notice stating such election (an “Expansion Option Exercise Notice”) by no later than one (1) year prior to the respective Expansion Space Delivery Date set forth in Section 1.16.11 below, time being of the essence. Tenant may exercise its expansion rights individually (per expansion floor), successively, or collectively, provided that Tenant complies with the notice requirements set forth herein. Upon timely delivery of an Expansion Option Exercise Notice, the Fixed Date Expansion Space described therein shall be added to the Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.16. If there exists a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder on the date of the giving of the Expansion Option Exercise Notice, then, at Landlord’s election (which shall be exercised within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Expansion Option Exercise Notice, or shall be deemed waived), the Expansion Option Exercise Notice shall be ineffective as to the subject Fixed Date Expansion Space.

1.16.2 Description of Fixed Date Expansion Space; As used in this Lease, the Fixed Date Expansion Space consists of approximately ninety-one thousand six hundred seventy-three (91,673) rentable square feet of space measured in accordance with the Measurement Standard comprised of (i) the entire ninth (9th) floor of the North Tower containing approximately twenty-five thousand nine hundred twenty-five (25,925) rentable square feet and depicted on Exhibit A-9 attached hereto (the “Ninth Floor Expansion Space”), (ii) the entire eighth (8th) floor of the North Tower containing approximately thirty-two thousand eight hundred sixty-five (32,865) rentable square feet and depicted on Exhibit A-10 attached hereto (the “Eighth Floor Expansion Space”), and (iii) the entire seventh (7th) floor of the North Tower containing approximately thirty-two thousand eight hundred eighty-three (32,883) rentable square feet and depicted on Exhibit A-11 attached hereto (the “Seventh Floor Expansion Space” and together with the Eighth Floor Expansion Space and the Ninth Floor Expansion Space, the “Fixed Date Expansion Space”).

1.16.3 Fixed Date Expansion Space Term. Subject to Tenant’s right to delay the Ninth Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date and Eighth Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 1.16.12 and Section 1.16.13, the lease term for each of the Seventh Floor Expansion Space (the “Seventh Floor Expansion Space Term”), the Eighth Floor Expansion Space (the “Eighth Floor Expansion Space Term”) and the Ninth Floor Expansion Space (the “Ninth Floor Expansion Space Term”) shall commence upon the earlier of (x) Tenant’s beneficial occupancy of such Fixed Date Expansion Space for the conduct of its business therein, and (y) one hundred five (105) days following Landlord’s delivery of such Fixed Date Expansion Space to Tenant which in no event shall occur prior to the applicable Expansion Space Delivery Date pursuant to Section 1.16.11 below unless

 

9


Tenant agrees to an earlier date (as applicable, the “Fixed Date Expansion Space Commencement Date”) and shall expire co-terminously with the Term for the Premises, as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall be provided access to the Fixed Date Expansion Space during the aforesaid one hundred five (105) day period for the purposes of constructing the Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvements (defined below), installing furniture, fixtures, equipment, and cabling, and otherwise readying the Fixed Date Expansion Space for beneficial occupancy. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree, the Fixed Date Expansion Delivery Date for any Fixed Date Expansion Space shall be the respective Expansion Space Delivery Date set forth in Section 1.16.11 below, subject to Tenant’s right to delay the applicable Expansion Space Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 1.16.12 and Section 1.16.13. Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of any Fixed Date Expansion Space by the Expansion Space Delivery Date set forth in Section 1.16.11 below due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by an Interim Tenant (defined in Section 1.16.16 below), shall in no way affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an Interim Tenant does not vacate a Fixed Date Expansion Space in accordance with the terms of its Lease, Landlord shall promptly and diligently pursue all of Landlord’s remedies under the Interim Tenant’s lease, at law and in equity, to remove the Interim Tenant from the relevant Fixed Date Expansion Space.

1.16.4 Base Rent for Fixed Date Expansion Space. The Base Rent payable for a Fixed Date Expansion Space during the relevant Fixed Date Expansion Space Term shall be as set forth in Section 9 of the Summary if Tenant has delivered the applicable Expansion Option Exercise Notice prior to the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Commencement Date (the “Lease Terms Deadline”), time being of the essence. If Tenant delivers the applicable Expansion Option Exercise Notice on or after the Lease Terms Deadline, time being of the essence, the Base Rent payable for the applicable Fixed Date Expansion Space during the applicable Fixed Date Expansion Space Term shall be an amount equal to the fair market rental value of the relevant Fixed Space Expansion Space, taking into account all relevant factors (the “FMV”). It is hereby agreed that if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on the FMV of the Fixed Date Expansion Space which is the subject of Tenant’s Expansion Option Exercise Notice within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Expansion Option Exercise Notice (time being of the essence) during which period Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate said FMV diligently and in good faith, Tenant shall have the right to rescind its Expansion Option Exercise Notice by delivering written notice to Landlord (a “Rescission Notice”) within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (time being of the essence). If Tenant does not timely deliver a Rescission Notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall have no further right to rescind the Expansion Option Exercise Notice and Tenant shall be deemed to have initiated the proceedings for the determination of FMV as set forth in Exhibit I of this Lease. If Tenant timely delivers a Rescission Notice, the Fixed Date Expansion Option which is the subject of the Rescission Notice shall be cancelled and Tenant shall have no further rights under this Section 1.16 with regard to that particular Fixed Date Expansion Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided there does not exist a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder (or if a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default then exists, the right

 

10


to abatement shall toll until such monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default, as applicable, has been cured in full, provided that Landlord has not exercised its remedies under Article 21), Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay the Monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes otherwise payable by Tenant for any Fixed Date Expansion Space (the “Fixed Date Expansion Space Abated Rent”) for a period (the “Fixed Date Expansion Space Abated Rent Period”), (x) if the Expansion Option Exercise Notice is delivered by the Lease Terms Deadline, time of the essence, equal to the Original Premises Abated Rent Period as pro-rated in accordance with the ratio that the lease term for such Fixed Date Expansion Space bears to the Lease Term (if the result contains an integer, such integer shall be converted to an appropriate number of days), or (y) if the Expansion Space Exercise Notice is not delivered by the Lease Terms Deadline, time of the essence, as determined as part of the determination of the FMV in accordance with this Section. During the Fixed Date Expansion Space Abated Rent Period, Tenant shall remain responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in the early termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Article 21 below, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 21 below, Landlord shall be entitled to recover the unamortized balance of the Fixed Date Expansion Space Abated Rent.

1.16.5 The “Fixed Date Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date” shall occur, with respect to any Fixed Date Expansion Space, on the date immediately succeeding the last day of the Fixed Date Expansion Space Abated Rent Period for such Fixed Date Expansion Space.

1.16.6 Tenant’s Share. Upon each applicable Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date, Tenant’s Share (as defined below and set forth in Section 1.14 above) shall be increased to take into account the addition of the applicable Fixed Date Expansion Space as provided in Section 1.16.

1.16.7 Adjustment to Security Deposit. Tenant shall provide Landlord with an amendment or replacement to the Letter of Credit increasing the Security Deposit as described in Section 2.2.2 below within thirty (30) days following the determination of FMV in accordance with the terms of this Lease and in any event before Tenant commences work in the Fixed Date Expansion Space. The First Reduced LC Amount, Second Reduced LC Amount, Third Reduced LC Amount and Fourth Reduced LC Amount shall each be adjusted accordingly as set forth in Section 2.2.2.

1.16.8 Required Condition of the Fixed Date Expansion Space. Except for compliance with Landlord’s Delivery Conditions and as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.16.8, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Fixed Date Expansion Space and Tenant shall accept the Fixed Date Expansion Space broom clean, with all Building systems serving the Fixed Date Expansion Space in good condition and working order, and otherwise in its AS IS condition on the Fixed Date Expansion Space Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to help Tenant pay for the fees and costs of Tenant’s architect, engineer, project manager, and all tenant improvement-related costs, communications cabling, security systems, back-up power

 

11


systems, audio-visual systems and signage costs of any Fixed Date Expansion Space, and provided that Tenant may apply a certain portion of the Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvement Allowance to moving, furniture and equipment with regard Tenant’s occupancy of the Fixed Date Expansion Space as provided in the Work Letter (collectively, the “Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvements”), Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord a one-time tenant improvement allowance with respect to such Fixed Date Expansion Space (each a “Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvement Allowance”) as follows. If the Expansion Option Exercise Notice for such Fixed Date Expansion Space is delivered by the Lease Terms Deadline, time of the essence, the Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvement Allowance for such Fixed Date Expansion Space shall be in the amount of up to, but not to exceed, the Original Premises Tenant Improvement Allowance (an a rentable square foot basis) as pro-rated in accordance with the ratio that the Fixed Date Expansion Space Term bears to the Lease Term (with the results of all calculations rounded to the nearest hundredth). For example, if the Fixed Date Expansion Space Commencement Date for the Ninth Floor Expansion Space occurs on May 1, 2021, the Fixed Date Expansion Space Term for the Ninth Floor Expansion Space would be 126 months, the Lease Term is 150 months, the Original Premises Tenant Improvement Allowance per rentable square foot is $90.00, and the resultant Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Allowance would be $1,959,930 (i.e., 126/150 = .84; .84 x 90 = 75.60; 75.60 x 25,925 = $1,959,930). Tenant shall not be required to pay any of the following with regard to the Fixed Date Expansion Space fit-out: the cost of electricity, water, sewer, heating and air conditioning, freight elevator usage, operator costs, staging area usage, use of the Building’s loading docks, security guard service, Building engineer oversight or review, or Landlord supervisory fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall pay or reimburse to Landlord within thirty (30) days following demand (i) Landlord’s standard charges for after-hours engineering, operator, or Building staff services requested by Tenant or reasonably required by Landlord, and (ii) reasonably incurred, necessary and actual out-of-pocket review costs payable to third party architects and engineers. If the Expansion Option Exercise Notice for such Fixed Date Expansion Space is delivered after the Lease Terms Deadline, time of the essence, the Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be in the amount determined by the procedures for establishing FMV as set forth in Section 1.16.4. All of the terms and conditions set forth in the Work Letter shall apply to the Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvements and Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvement Allowance, mutatis mutandis.

1.16.9 Other Terms. Effective from and after each Fixed Date Expansion Space Commencement Date, the definition of Premises shall be expanded to include the relevant Fixed Date Expansion Space and thereafter, except as specifically set forth in this Section 1.16 all other terms of this Lease shall apply to the relevant Fixed Date Expansion Space as part of the Premises, and all calculations which are based upon the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be recalculated to take into account the greater rentable square footage resulting from the expansion (by way of example rather than limitation, the calculation of the number of Tenant’s Parking Permits).

 

12


1.16.10 Amendment to Lease. Upon the valid exercise by Tenant of a Fixed Date Expansion Option, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written amendment to the Lease confirming the terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the Fixed Date Expansion Space as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.16, which amendment (if factually accurate) Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, provided, however, that Landlord and Tenant’s failure to enter into such amendment shall not impair or delay any of Landlord’s or Tenant’s other rights or obligations under this Section 1.16.

1.16.11 Expansion Space Delivery Dates. The Ninth Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date, Eighth Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date, and Seventh Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date (each an “Expansion Space Delivery Date”) shall be as set forth below subject to: (i) Tenant’s right to extend the time deadline for the delivery of the Expansion Option Exercise Notice for the Eighth Floor Expansion Space and the Ninth Floor Expansion Space, which would correspondingly extend the Eighth Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date and/or the Ninth Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.16.12 and Section 1.16.13 below, (ii) Landlord’s right to accelerate the Seventh Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.16.14 below, and (iii) the automatic extension of the Seventh Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date in accordance with Section 1.16.15 below.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.16.11 above, Tenant shall have the right to delay either or both of the Eighth Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date and the Ninth Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date by delivery of written notice (the “First Delay Notice”) to Landlord.

A timely delivered First Delay Notice shall delay both (i) the date by which Tenant must deliver the applicable Expansion Option Exercise Notice and, if such Expansion Option Exercise Notice is thereafter given, (ii) the relevant Expansion Space Delivery Date. If Tenant delivers a First Delay Notice pursuant to this Section 1.16.12, then the Expansion Space Delivery Date for the Fixed Date Expansion Space specified in the First Delay Notice shall be the date which is one (1) year following the respective Expansion Space Delivery Date, as set forth in Section 1.16.11 above (the “First Extended Expansion Space Delivery Date”). If Tenant fails to timely deliver a First Delay Notice for the Eighth Floor Expansion Space or the Ninth Floor Expansion Space conforming to the requirements set forth in this Section 1.16.12, or if Tenant has timely delivered a First Delay Notice in accordance with this Section 1.16.12 but does not deliver an Expansion Option Exercise Notice for the Eighth Floor Expansion Space or the Ninth Floor Expansion Space on or before one (1) year prior to the respective First Extended Expansion Space Delivery Date (subject to Tenant’s right to deliver a Second Delay Notice in accordance with Section 1.16.13 below), then all of Tenant’s Expansion Rights shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and shall be replaced with the ROFO as set forth in Section 1.20.

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, at any time from and after the First Extended Expansion Space Delivery Date, Landlord shall have the right to deliver a Pending Deal Notice, in which case the parties shall proceed in accordance with Section 1.18.1.

1.16.14 Landlord’s Right to Accelerate the Seventh Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date. The Seventh Floor Expansion Space is presently occupied by Octagon, Inc. (“Octagon”) pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement dated March 1, 2012 between Landlord’s predecessor-in-interest and Octagon, which was amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated May 31, 2012 and further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Lease Agreement dated February 2, 2015 (as so amended, the “Octagon Lease”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.16.11 above, if (i) Octagon surrenders possession of the Seventh Floor Expansion Space pursuant to a written lease termination and surrender agreement, or (ii) following Landlord’s termination of the Octagon Lease in accordance with its terms due to an event of default thereunder, Octagon vacates or is dispossessed of the Seventh Floor Expansion Space in accordance with Applicable Laws (clause (i) and clause (ii), each an “Octagon Surrender”), Landlord shall accelerate the Seventh Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date by delivery of written notice (the “Acceleration Notice”) to Tenant. If Landlord delivers an Acceleration Notice pursuant to this Section 1.16.14, then the Seventh Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date shall be the date set forth by Landlord in the Acceleration Notice, which shall be at least eighteen (18) months following the Commencement Date and at least twelve (12) months after the date of the Acceleration Notice (and the foregoing periods shall, if applicable, run concurrently). Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord delivers an Acceleration Notice, Tenant shall deliver the Expansion Option Exercise Notice for the Seventh Floor Expansion Space, if at all, no later than the later of the date that is (x) ten (10) Business Days following Landlord’s delivery of an Acceleration Notice, and (y) one (1) year prior to the Seventh Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date specified by Landlord in the Acceleration Notice. If Tenant timely exercises the Seventh Floor Expansion Option following receipt of an Acceleration Notice, then, the Expansion Space Commencement Date shall occur (subject to extensions) as provided for in Section 1.16.3 (but no sooner than the later of twelve (12) months following the date of delivery of the Acceleration Notice and eighteen (18) months following the Commencement Date). Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if following Landlord’s delivery of an Acceleration Notice, Tenant does not deliver an Expansion Option Exercise Notice for the Seventh Floor Expansion Space within the aforesaid ten (10) Business Day period, the Seventh Floor Expansion Space shall remain subject to the Unilateral Expansion Option, the ROFR and the Tenanted Space Option.

1.16.15 Automatic Delay of the Seventh Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date. If Octagon exercises the renewal option set forth in the Octagon Lease (an “Octagon Renewal”), then the Seventh Floor Expansion Space Delivery Date shall be delayed to August 31, 2027. Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant written notice of the occurrence of an Octagon Renewal (an “Octagon Delay Notice”).

1.16.16 Landlord’s Right to Enter into Interim Leases for Fixed Date Expansion Space. Landlord shall have the right, without Tenant’s consent, to enter into a lease for any Fixed Date Expansion Space for the period prior to its respective Expansion Space Delivery Date (an “Interim Fixed Date Expansion Space Lease”) with any third party (an “Interim Tenant”), provided that the final lease expiration date of such Interim Fixed Date Expansion Space Lease shall occur no later than the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Expansion Space Delivery Date for such Fixed Date Expansion Space (as then may have been extended by Tenant in accordance with this Section 1.16). If the Interim Tenant is an Ecosystem Partner (defined below), the following provisions shall apply. Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s intent to enter into an Interim Fixed Date Expansion Space Lease with an Ecosystem Partner (an “Interim Lease Notice”), which Interim Lease Notice shall set forth the amount of the tenant improvement allowance, if any, to be provided to such Ecosystem Partner under the Interim Fixed Date Expansion Space Lease (the “Interim Lease TI Funds”). Upon receipt of an Interim Lease Notice, Tenant shall have the right (the “Accelerated Fit-Out Right”) to immediately construct the Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvements in such Fixed Date Expansion Space on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Ecosystem Partner and, in connection therewith, to cause Landlord to provide the Interim Lease TI Funds, if any, directly to Tenant together with the Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvement Allowance that would be provided to Tenant under Section 1.16.8 above assuming that the Fixed Date Expansion Space Commencement Date is the date immediately following the expiration of the Interim Fixed Date Expansion Space Lease with the Ecosystem Partner (collectively, the “Aggregate Fixed Date Expansion Space TI Allowance”). The Accelerated Fit-Out Right shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, by delivery to Landlord of notice of such election (“Accelerated Fit-Out Exercise Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days following Tenant’s receipt of an Interim Lease Notice, time being of the essence. Tenant’s Accelerated Fit-Out Exercise Notice shall also constitute Tenant’s Expansion Option Exercise Notice for the applicable Fixed Date Expansion Space, subject to Tenant’s rights to delay the Fixed Date Expansion Space Delivery Date of such space. If following Landlord’s delivery of all or any portion of the Aggregate Fixed Date Expansion Space TI Allowance, Tenant delivers a First Delay Notice and/or a Second Delay Notice, the Aggregate Fixed Date Expansion Space TI Allowance shall be recalculated assuming that the applicable Fixed Date Expansion Space Commencement Date is the First Extended Expansion Space Delivery Date or Final Extended Expansion Space Delivery Date, as applicable (the “Adjusted Fixed Date Expansion Space TI Allowance”). Landlord shall reduce the remaining Aggregate Fixed Date Expansion Space TI Allowance, if any, by the difference between the Aggregate Fixed Date Expansion Space TI Allowance and Adjusted Fixed Date Expansion Space TI Allowance. If the remaining amount of the Aggregate Fixed Date Expansion Space TI Allowance is less than such difference, Tenant shall pay the shortfall to Landlord within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s demand therefor. Landlord shall ensure that the Interim Fixed Date Expansion Space Lease provides for and is coordinated with Tenant’s rights under this Section 1.16.16. Tenant shall construct the Fixed

 

17


Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvements in accordance with a commercially reasonable schedule and shall be responsible for any delays in substantially completing the Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvements by the dates set forth thereon, provided that such delays were not caused by Landlord. For the purposes hereof, the term “Ecosystem Partner” shall mean any company that Landlord and Tenant, each acting in their sole and absolute discretion, mutually agree is an Ecosystem Partner.

1.17 Unilateral Expansion Option.

1.17.1 So long as Tenant has not assigned the Lease other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 18.2 below) and has not entered into a Disqualifying Sublease (as defined in Section 18.10 below), Tenant shall have the option (the “Unilateral Expansion Option”) to lease any space in the Project that is vacant (the “Unilateral Expansion Space”) subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.17. A table setting forth the location and rentable square footage of the Unilateral Expansion Space (measured in accordance with the Measurement Standard) as of the date hereof is set forth on Exhibit A-12 attached hereto. Landlord shall amend Exhibit A-12 from time to time without Tenant’s consent by delivering to Tenant an updated Exhibit A-12 initialed and dated by Landlord, in order to add space that has become vacant in the Project or to remove vacant space for which Landlord shall have delivered a Pending Deal Notice in accordance with Section 1.18 below. Landlord shall use good faith efforts to amend Exhibit A-12 and to deliver a copy of such amended Exhibit A-12 to Tenant within ten (10) Business Days of a change in the substance thereof. Tenant’s Expansion Rights (as defined in Section 19.1) shall have priority over any errors or omissions in Exhibit A-12, and any inconsistencies between Tenant’s Expansion Rights and the contents of Exhibit A-12 shall be reconciled in favor of Tenant’s Expansion Rights as set forth in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Unilateral Expansion Space shall not include (i) the Seventh Floor Expansion Space (except as set forth in Section 1.16.14), the Eighth Floor Expansion Space and the Ninth Floor Expansion Space (which shall be governed by Section 1.16 above), and (ii) any space in the Building as to which Landlord shall have delivered a Pending Deal Notice in accordance with Section 1.18 below, provided that if Landlord has not entered into a lease on the material terms set forth in such Pending Deal Notice within one hundred eighty (180) days, Landlord shall again comply with the terms set forth in Section 1.18 below before proceeding with such Pending Deal, and provided further that if the Pending Deal has been abandoned as reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord shall provide notice thereof to Tenant within five (5) Business Days of such abandonment, and the space in the Building described in the Pending Deal Notice shall again be deemed to be Unilateral Expansion Space, provided however that Tenant’s rights hereunder shall not be predicated upon the receipt of such notice from Landlord. Tenant shall exercise the Unilateral Expansion Option from time to time by delivering written notice to Landlord (a “Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice”). To be effective, a Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice shall specify the portions of the Unilateral Expansion Space that Tenant is electing to lease pursuant to the terms of this Section 1.17, which portions shall be designated by Tenant in a manner corresponding to Exhibit A-12 and shall consist of full or, with respect to the South Tower only, half floor increments and if more than one floor, only contiguous space on contiguous floors (provided that if Tenant designates a half-floor in the South Tower, the portion of the floor left for Landlord to lease must meet all codes and be reasonably marketable space).

 

18


Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to notify Landlord upon the giving of the Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice that Tenant desires to exercise the Unilateral Expansion Right with respect to a half-floor in the North Tower, in which case Landlord shall specify in writing which half will be made available to Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to deliver a Rescission Notice within three (3) Business Days following receipt of Landlord’s notice designating such half if Tenant does not wish to proceed. If Tenant delivers a Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice, the Premises shall be expanded to include the Unilateral Expansion Space set forth in the Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice on the Unilateral Expansion Space Commencement Date upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.17. If there exists a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder on the date of the giving of the Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice, then, at Landlord’s election (which shall be exercised within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice, or shall be deemed waived), the Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice shall be ineffective as to the subject Unilateral Expansion Space.

1.17.2 Base Rent for Unilateral Option Space. The Base Rent payable for the Unilateral Expansion Space during the Unilateral Expansion Space Term shall be as set forth in Section 9 of the Summary, provided that Tenant has delivered the applicable Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice prior to the Lease Terms Deadline, time being of the essence. If Tenant delivers the applicable Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice on or after the Lease Terms Deadline, time being of the essence, then the Base Rent payable for the Unilateral Expansion Space during the Unilateral Expansion Space Term shall be the FMV of the Unilateral Expansion Space, as determined in accordance with Section 1.16.4 above. It is hereby agreed that if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on the FMV of the Unilateral Expansion Space within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice (the parties agreeing to negotiate the FMV diligently and in good faith during such 30-day time period, time being of the essence), Tenant shall have the right to deliver a Rescission Notice within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (time being of the essence). If Tenant timely delivers a Rescission Notice, Tenant shall have no further rights under this Section 1.17 with regard to that particular offering of that particular Unilateral Expansion Space. If Tenant does not timely deliver a Rescission Notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall have no further right to rescind the Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice with regard to the subject Unilateral Expansion Space and Tenant shall be deemed to have initiated the proceedings for the determination of FMV as set forth in Exhibit I of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing (or if a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default then exists, the right to abatement shall toll until such monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default, as applicable, has been cured in full, provided that Landlord has not exercised its remedies under Article 21), Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes otherwise payable by Tenant for any Unilateral Expansion Space (the “Unilateral Expansion Space Abated Rent”) for a period (the “Unilateral Expansion Space Abated Rent Period”), (x) if the Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice is delivered by the Lease Terms Deadline, time being of the essence, equal to the Original Premises Abated Rent Period as pro-rated in accordance with the ratio that the

 

19


lease term for such Unilateral Expansion Space bears to the Lease Term, or (y) if the Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice is not delivered by the Lease Terms Deadline, time being of the essence, as determined as part of the determination of FMV in accordance with Section 1.16.4. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in the early termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Article 21 below, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 21 below, Landlord shall be entitled to recover the unamortized balance of the Unilateral Expansion Space Abated Rent.

1.17.3 Unilateral Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date. The “Unilateral Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date” shall occur, with respect to any Unilateral Expansion Space, on the date immediately succeeding the last day of the Unilateral Expansion Space Abated Rent Period for such Unilateral Expansion Space.

1.17.4 Unilateral Expansion Space Term. The lease term for any Unilateral Expansion Space with respect to which Tenant has timely delivered a Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice (the “Unilateral Expansion Space Term”) shall commence upon the earlier of (x) Tenant’s beneficial occupancy of such Unilateral Expansion Space for the conduct of its business therein, and (y) the later of (i) one hundred five (105) days following Landlord’s delivery of the Unilateral Expansion Space to Tenant or (ii) if Unilateral Expansion Space is added to Exhibit A-12 sooner than the scheduled expiration date of the existing lease for such Unilateral Expansion Space (e.g., upon an early surrender of such space) and Tenant delivers a Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice for such Unilateral Expansion Space within sixty (60) days following the date of delivery of the amended Exhibit A-12, two hundred ten (210) days following the date of Tenant’s receipt of the amended Exhibit A-12 which adds the Unilateral Expansion Space thereto (the “Unilateral Expansion Space Commencement Date”) and shall expire co-terminously with the Term for the Premises, as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Lease, subject, however to the final sentence of this Section 1.17.4. Tenant shall be provided access to the Fixed Date Expansion Space during the aforesaid one hundred five (105) day period (or if applicable two hundred ten (210) day period) for the purposes of constructing the Unilateral Expansion Space Tenant Improvements (defined below), installing furniture, fixtures, equipment, and cabling, and otherwise readying the Unilateral Expansion Space for beneficial occupancy. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.17.4 to the contrary, if at the time Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice is delivered under Section 1.17.1 above, the Unilateral Expansion Commencement Date would occur during the last three (3) full years of the Initial Term of this Lease, then the Initial Term for the balance of the Premises shall be extended such that the Unilateral Expansion Space Term shall be for a full three (3) years. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if the Initial Term of the Lease has been extended in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, or if Tenant desires to exercise a Unilateral Expansion Right during a Renewal Term, it shall be a condition precedent to the valid exercise of such Unilateral Expansion Right that within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Unilateral Expansion Right Exercise Notice, Landlord and Tenant, each acting in good faith but in their respective sole and absolute judgment, agree on the Unilateral Expansion Space Term for the subject Unilateral Expansion Space and for the balance of the Premises, it being the intent of the parties that under such circumstances Landlord and Tenant shall engage on a longer term renewal/expansion for the entire Premises.

 

20


1.17.5 Tenant’s Share. Upon each applicable Unilateral Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date, Tenant’s Share (as defined below and set forth in Section 1.14 above) shall be increased to take into account the addition of the Unilateral Expansion Space as provided in this Section 1.17.

1.17.6 Adjustment to Security Deposit. Tenant shall provide Landlord with an amendment or replacement to the Letter of Credit increasing the Security Deposit as described in Section 2.2.2 below within thirty (30) days following the determination of FMV in accordance with the terms of this Lease and in any event before Tenant commences work in the Unilateral Expansion Space. The First Reduced LC Amount, Second Reduced LC Amount, Third Reduced LC Amount and Fourth Reduced LC Amount shall each be adjusted accordingly as set forth in Section 2.2.2.

1.17.7 Required Condition of Unilateral Expansion Space. Except for compliance with Landlord’s Delivery Conditions and as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.17.7, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Unilateral Expansion Space, and Tenant shall accept the Unilateral Expansion Space broom clean, with all Building systems serving the Unilateral Expansion Space in good condition and working order, and otherwise in its AS IS condition on the Unilateral Expansion Space Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to help Tenant pay for the fees and costs of Tenant’s architect, engineer, project manager, and all tenant improvement-related costs, communications cabling, security systems, back-up power systems, audio-visual systems and signage costs of any Unilateral Expansion Space, and provided that Tenant may apply a certain portion of the Unilateral Expansion Space Tenant Improvement Allowance to moving, furniture and equipment with regard Tenant’s occupancy of any Unilateral Expansion Space as provided in the Work Letter (collectively, the “Unilateral Expansion Space Tenant Improvements”), Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord a one-time tenant improvement allowance with respect to such Unilateral Expansion Space (each a “Unilateral Expansion Space Tenant Improvement Allowance”) as determined as set forth in Section 1.16.8, mutatis mutandis. All of the terms and conditions set forth in the Work Letter shall apply to the Unilateral Expansion Space Tenant Improvements and Unilateral Expansion Space Tenant Improvement Allowance, mutatis mutandis.

1.17.8 Other Terms. Effective from and after the Unilateral Expansion Space Commencement Date, the definition of Premises shall be expanded to include the Unilateral Expansion Space and thereafter, except as specifically set forth in this Section 1.17, all other terms of this Lease shall apply to the Unilateral Expansion Space as part of the Premises, and all calculations which are based upon the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be recalculated to take into account the greater rentable square footage resulting from the expansion (by way of example rather than limitation, the calculation of the number of Tenant’s Parking Permits).

 

21


1.17.9 Amendment to Lease. Upon the valid exercise by Tenant of a Unilateral Expansion Option, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written amendment to the Lease confirming the terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the Unilateral Expansion Space as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.17, which amendment (if factually accurate) Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, provided, however, that Landlord and Tenant’s failure to enter into such amendment shall not impair or delay any of Landlord’s or Tenant’s other rights or obligations under this Section 1.17.

1.18 Right of First Refusal (“ROFR”).

1.18.1 Provided that Tenant has not assigned the Lease other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer and has not entered into a Disqualifying Sublease, and subject to the terms of this Section 1.18, each time (i) from and after Tenant’s delivery of a Second Delay Notice on any Fixed Date Expansion Space that Landlord intends to accept a written proposal to lease all or a portion of such Fixed Date Expansion Space to any to a third party, and (ii) during the Term that Landlord intends to accept a written proposal to lease all or a portion of the Unilateral Expansion Space (in the case of each of clause (i) and clause (ii), a “Pending Deal”), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice (a “Pending Deal Notice”) of the existence of and material terms of such Pending Deal (including the interpolation/extrapolation of such material terms of the Pending Deal to reflect a lease term contemplated by Section 1.18.2 below), provided that Landlord may withhold the name of the proposed third-party lessee for the Pending Deal. Within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of a Pending Deal Notice, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice (a “Pending Deal Acceptance Notice”) if Tenant elects to lease the Fixed Date Expansion Space or Unilateral Expansion Space set forth in the Pending Deal Notice (the “Identified ROFR Space”). Landlord’s obligation to deliver the Pending Deal Notice and Tenant’s right to elect to lease or not lease the Identified ROFR Space pursuant to this Section 1.18.1 is hereinafter referred to as the “Right of First Refusal”. If Tenant elects to lease the Identified ROFR Space by delivering the Pending Deal Acceptance Notice within the required five (5) Business Day period, Tenant shall be deemed to agree to lease the Identified ROFR Space on the same general terms and conditions as the Lease except for the economic and other terms specifically set forth in the Pending Deal Notice. If Tenant fails to deliver a Pending Deal Acceptance Notice to Landlord within the required five (5) business day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 1.18.1 to lease the Identified ROFR Space identified in such Pending Deal Notice, and Landlord shall have the right to lease the Identified ROFR Space on substantially the same economic terms and conditions set forth in the Pending Deal Notice. As used in the prior sentence, substantially the same shall mean economic terms which do not differ by more than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) from the economic terms that were offered to Tenant in the Pending Deal Notice. Any Identified ROFR Space leased by Landlord in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall become Tenanted Space subject to Tenant’s Tenanted Space Option (pursuant to, and as such terms are defined in, Section 1.19 of the Lease). If there exists a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder on the date of the giving of the Pending Deal Acceptance Notice, then, at Landlord’s election (which shall be exercised within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Pending Deal Acceptance Notice, or shall be deemed waived), Pending Deal Acceptance Notice shall be ineffective as to the subject Identified ROFR Space.

 

22


1.18.2 Identified ROFR Space Term. The lease term for any Identified ROFR Space with respect to which Tenant has timely delivered a Pending Deal Acceptance Notice (the “Identified ROFR Space Term”) shall commence on the date the Pending Deal was to have commenced, as set forth in the Pending Deal Notice (“Identified ROFR Space Commencement Date”) and shall expire co-terminously with the Term for the Premises, as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Lease, subject, however, to the final sentence of this Section 1.18.2. Tenant shall be provided access to the Identified ROFR Space if and to the extent provided for in the Pending Deal Notice for the purposes of constructing the Identified ROFR Space Tenant Improvements therein (defined below). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.18.2 to the contrary, if at the time a Pending Deal Acceptance Notice is delivered under Section 1.18.1 above, the Identified ROFR Space Commencement Date would occur during the last three (3) full years of the Initial Term of this Lease, then the Initial Term for the balance of the Premises shall be extended such that the Identified ROFR Space Term shall be for a full three (3) years. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if the Initial Term of the Lease has been extended in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, or if Tenant desires to exercise the ROFR during a Renewal Term, it shall be a condition precedent to the valid exercise of such ROFR that within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Pending Deal Acceptance Notice, Landlord and Tenant, each acting in good faith but in their respective sole and absolute judgment, agree on the Identified ROFR Space Term for the subject Identified ROFR Space and for the balance of the Premises, it being the intent of the parties that under such circumstances Landlord and Tenant shall engage on a longer term renewal/expansion for the entire Premises.

1.18.3 Tenant’s Share. Upon each applicable Identified ROFR Space Rent Commencement Date, Tenant’s Share (as defined below and set forth in Section 1.14 above) shall be increased to take into account the addition of the Identified ROFR Space as provided in this Section 1.18.

1.18.4 Adjustment to Security Deposit. Tenant shall provide Landlord with an amendment or replacement to the Letter of Credit increasing the Security Deposit as described in Section 2.2.2 below within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s delivery of a Pending Deal Acceptance Notice and in any event before Tenant commences work in the Identified ROFR Space. The First Reduced LC Amount, Second Reduced LC Amount, Third Reduced LC Amount and Fourth Reduced LC Amount shall each be adjusted accordingly as set forth in Section 2.2.2.

1.18.5 Required Condition of Identified ROFR Space. Except for compliance with Landlord’s Delivery Conditions and as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.18, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Identified ROFR Space, and Tenant shall accept the Identified ROFR Space broom clean, with all Building systems serving the ROFR Space in good condition and working order, and otherwise in its AS IS condition on the Identified ROFR Space Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to help Tenant pay for the fees and costs of architect, engineer, project manager, and all tenant improvement-related costs, communications cabling, security systems, back-up power systems, audio-visual systems and signage costs of the Identified ROFR Space, and provided that Tenant may apply a certain portion of the

 

23


Identified ROFR Space Tenant Improvement Allowance to moving, furniture and equipment with regard Tenant’s occupancy of the Identified ROFR Space as provided in the Work Letter (collectively, the “Identified ROFR Space Tenant Improvements”), Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord a one-time tenant improvement allowance (each, an “Identified ROFR Space Tenant Improvement Allowance”) to the extent set forth in the Pending Deal Notice (if any). If applicable, all of the terms and conditions of the Work Letter shall apply to the Identified ROFR Space Tenant Improvements and Identified ROFR Space Tenant Improvement Allowance.

1.18.6 Other Terms. Effective from and after the Identified ROFR Space Commencement Date, the definition of Premises shall be expanded to include the Identified ROFR Space and thereafter, except as provided in this Section 1.18, all other terms of this Lease shall apply to the Identified ROFR Space as part of the Premises, and all calculations which are based upon the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be recalculated to take into account the greater rentable square footage resulting from the expansion (by way of example rather than limitation, the calculation of the number of Tenant’s Parking Permits).

1.18.7 Amendment to Lease. Upon the valid exercise by Tenant of a Right of First Refusal, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written amendment to the Lease confirming the terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the Identified ROFR Space as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.18, which amendment (if factually accurate) Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, provided, however, that Landlord and Tenant’s failure to enter into such amendment shall not impair or delay any of Landlord’s or Tenant’s other rights or obligations under this Section 1.18.

1.19 Option on Tenanted Space

1.19.1 Option on Tenanted Space. As used herein, the term “Tenanted Space Option Period” means, as applicable, that period of time during the Term (i) with respect to Unilateral Expansion Space or Fixed Date Expansion Space, from and after the date upon which Landlord enters into a lease with a third-party for such Unilateral Expansion Space or Fixed Date Expansion Space pursuant to the terms of Section 1.18 above, and (ii) from and after the date hereof with respect to the existing tenanted space in the Project, consisting of the space occupied, respectively, Gannett Co., Inc. (successor to Gannett Spinco, Inc.) (the “Gannett Space”), Octagon, Inc. (the “Octagon Space”),FN America, LLC (the “FN Space”) and Insperity Support Services, L.P. (the “Insperity Space”), as described and in the respective locations set forth on Exhibit A-13 through Exhibit A-16, inclusive (collectively, the “Existing Tenanted Space” and together with the space described in clause (i) of this Section 1.19.1, the “Tenanted Space”). So long as Tenant has not assigned the Lease other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer and has not entered into a Disqualifying Sublease, Tenant shall have an option (“Tenanted Space Option” and together with the Fixed Date Expansion Option, Unilateral Expansion Option and Right of First Refusal (collectively, the “Expansion Rights”) to lease Tenanted Space that becomes available during the Tenanted Space Option Period, on the terms and conditions contained in this Section 1.19, by delivery to Landlord of written notice stating such election (a “Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice”) by the later of the date (x) that is fifteen (15) calendar days following delivery of an

 

24


Availability Notice (defined below), and (y) eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration date of the lease for such Tenanted Space (except to the extent such lease has been surrendered or terminated in accordance with its terms in which case this clause (y) shall cease to apply), time being of the essence. Upon timely delivery of a Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice, the Tenanted Space described therein shall be added to the Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.19. Upon Landlord’s determination that any Tenanted Space will become available for Lease during the Tenanted Space Option Period, Landlord shall promptly send written notice to Tenant describing such Tenanted Space as well as the anticipated date upon which such space is expected to become available, and, if applicable, the expiration date of the existing lease for such Tenanted Space (an “Availability Notice”). If there exists a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder on the date of the giving of the Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice, then, at Landlord’s election (which shall be exercised within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice, or shall be deemed waived), the Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice shall be ineffective as to the subject Tenanted Space. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Tenant elects not to deliver a Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice prior to the deadline set forth above, Tenant shall not be deemed to have waived any of its Expansion Rights as a result thereof, and upon such space becoming vacant, Landlord shall amend Exhibit A-12 in accordance with Section 1.17.1 and comply with Section 1.18.1 prior to leasing any such space to a third party.

1.19.2 Base Rent for Tenanted Space. The Base Rent payable for the Tenanted Space during the Tenanted Space Term shall be as set forth in Section 9 of the Summary, provided that Tenant has delivered the applicable Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice prior to the Lease Terms Deadline, time being of the essence. If Tenant delivers the applicable Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice on or after the Lease Terms Deadline, time being of the essence, then the Base Rent payable for the Tenanted Space during the Tenanted Space Term shall be an amount equal to the FMV of the Tenanted Space as determined pursuant to Section 1.16.4. It is hereby agreed that if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on the FMV of the Tenanted Space within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice (time being of the essence), Tenant shall have the right to deliver a Rescission Notice within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (time being of the essence). If Tenant timely delivers a Rescission Notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall have no further rights under this Section 1.19 with regard to that particular Tenanted Space. If Tenant does not timely deliver a Rescission Notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall have no further right to rescind the Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice and Tenant shall be deemed to have initiated the proceedings for the determination of FMV as set forth in Exhibit I of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided there does not exist a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder (or if a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default then exists, the right to abatement shall toll until such monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default, as applicable, has been cured in full, provided that Landlord has not exercised its remedies under Article 21), Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant’s obligation to pay the Monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes otherwise payable by Tenant for any Tenanted Space (the “Tenanted Space Abated Rent”) for a period (the “Tenanted Space Abated Rent Period”), (x) if the Tenanted

 

25


Space Option Exercise Notice is delivered by the Lease Terms Deadline, time of the essence, equal to the Original Premises Abated Rent Period as pro-rated in accordance with the ratio that the lease term for such Tenanted Space bears to the Lease Term (if the result contains an integer, such integer shall be converted to an appropriate number of days), or (y) if the Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice is not delivered by the Lease Terms Deadline, time of the essence, as determined as part of the determination of the FMV in accordance with this Section. During the Tenanted Space Abated Rent Period, Tenant shall remain responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in the early termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Article 21 below, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 21 below, Landlord shall be entitled to recover the unamortized balance of the Tenanted Space Abated Rent.

1.19.3 The “Tenanted Space Rent Commencement Date” shall occur, with respect to any Tenanted Space, on the date immediately succeeding the last day of the Tenanted Space Abated Rent Period for such Tenanted Space.

1.19.4 Tenanted Space Term. The lease term for any Tenanted Space with respect to which Tenant has timely delivered a Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice (the “Tenanted Space Term”) shall commence upon the earlier of (x) Tenant’s beneficial occupancy of such Tenanted Space for the conduct of its business therein, and (y) the later of (i) one hundred five (105) days following Landlord’s delivery of the Tenanted Space to Tenant, or (ii) if Tenant Space is added to Exhibit A-12 sooner than the scheduled expiration date of the existing lease for such Tenanted Space (e.g., upon an early surrender of such space) and Tenant delivers a Tenanted Space Expansion Option Exercise Notice for such Tenanted Space within sixty (60) days following the date of delivery of the amended Exhibit A-12, two hundred ten (210) days following the date of Tenant’s receipt of the amended Exhibit A-12 which adds the Tenanted Space thereto (the “Tenanted Space Commencement Date”) and shall expire co-terminously with the Term for the Premises, as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Lease, subject, however, to the final sentence of this Section 1.19.4. Tenant shall be provided access to the Tenanted Space during the aforesaid ninety (90) day period for the purposes of constructing its initial Alterations therein, installing the furniture, fixtures, equipment, and cabling, and otherwise readying the Tenanted Space for beneficial occupancy. Landlord shall not be obligated to improve or alter any Tenanted Space in preparation of Tenant’s occupancy thereof, it being agreed that Tenant shall accept the same broom clean, with all Building systems serving the Tenanted Space in good condition and working order, and otherwise in its present as is condition on the Tenanted Space Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.19.4 to the contrary, if at the time a Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice is delivered under Section 1.19.1 above, the Tenanted Space Commencement Date would occur during the last three (3) full years of the Initial Term of this Lease, then the Initial Term for the balance of the Premises shall be extended such that the Tenanted Space Term shall be for a full three (3) years. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if the Initial Term of the Lease has been extended in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, or if Tenant desires to exercise the Tenanted Space Option during a Renewal Term, it shall be a condition precedent to the valid exercise of such Tenanted Space Option Term that within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Tenanted Space Option Exercise Notice,

 

26


Landlord and Tenant, each acting in good faith but in their respective sole and absolute judgment, agree on the Tenanted Space Term for the subject Tenanted Space and for the balance of the Premises, it being the intent of the parties that under such circumstances Landlord and Tenant shall engage on a longer term renewal/expansion for the entire Premises.

1.19.5 Tenant’s Share. Upon each applicable Tenanted Space Rent Commencement Date, Tenant’s Share (as defined below and set forth in Section 1.14 above) shall be increased to take into account the addition of the Tenanted Space as provided in this Section 1.19.

1.19.6 Adjustment to Security Deposit. Tenant shall provide Landlord with an amendment or replacement to the Letter of Credit increasing the Security Deposit as described in Section 2.2.2 below within thirty (30) days following the determination of FMV in accordance with the terms of this Lease and in any event before Tenant commences work in the Tenanted Space. The First Reduced LC Amount, Second Reduced LC Amount, Third Reduced LC Amount and Fourth Reduced LC Amount shall each be adjusted accordingly as set forth in Section 2.2.2.

1.19.7 Required Condition of Tenanted Space. Except for compliance with Landlord’s Delivery Conditions and as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.19.7, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, remodeling or refurbishment work or services related to the improvement, remodeling or refurbishment of the Tenanted Space, and Tenant shall accept the Tenanted Space broom clean, with all Building systems serving the Tenanted Space in good condition and working order, and otherwise in its AS IS condition on the Tenanted Space Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to help Tenant pay for the fees and costs of Tenant’s architect, engineer, project manager, and all tenant improvement-related costs, communications cabling, security systems, back-up power systems, audio-visual systems and signage costs of the Tenanted Space, and provided that Tenant may apply a certain portion of the Tenanted Space Tenant Improvement Allowance to moving, furniture and equipment with regard Tenant’s occupancy of any Tenanted Space as provided in the Work Letter (collectively, the “Tenanted Space Tenant Improvements”), Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord a one-time tenant improvement allowance with respect to such Tenanted Space (each a “Tenanted Space Tenant Improvement Allowance”) as determined as set forth in Section 1.16.8, mutatis mutandis. All of the terms and conditions set forth in the Work Letter shall apply to the Tenanted Space Tenant Improvements and Tenanted Space Tenant Improvement Allowance, mutatis mutandis. The Tenanted Space Tenant Improvements, Original Premises Tenant Improvements, Fifth Floor Tenant Improvements, Fixed Date Expansion Space Tenant Improvements, Unilateral Expansion Space Tenant Improvements, Identified ROFR Space Tenant Improvements, and any other Alterations performed by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease are sometimes referred to collectively as “Tenant Improvements”.

1.19.8 Other Terms. Effective from and after the Tenanted Space Commencement Date, the definition of Premises shall be expanded to include the relevant Tenanted Space and thereafter, except as provided in this Section 1.19, all other terms of this Lease shall apply to the relevant Tenanted Space as part of the Premises, and all calculations which are based upon the rentable square footage of the Premises shall be recalculated to take into account the greater rentable square footage resulting from the expansion (by way of example rather than limitation, the calculation of the number of Tenant’s Parking Permits).

 

27


1.19.9 Amendment to Lease. Upon the valid exercise by Tenant of a Tenanted Space Option, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written amendment to the Lease confirming the terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the Tenanted Space as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.19, which amendment (if factually accurate) Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, provided, however, that Landlord and Tenant’s failure to enter into such amendment shall not impair or delay any of Landlord’s or Tenant’s other rights or obligations under this Section 1.19.

1.20 Right of First Offer. If Tenant shall fail to have exercised any of Tenant’s Fixed Date Expansion Options (or shall be deemed to have failed to exercise any of Tenant’s Fixed Date Expansion Options by failing to send a First Delay Notice, Second Delay Notice or Expansion Option Exercise Notice by the respective deadlines therefore), all of Tenant’s remaining Fixed Date Expansion Options and the Unilateral Expansion Option and Tenanted Space Option shall be null and void and shall be replaced by the following right of first offer (the “ROFO”).

1.20.1 Landlord shall give notice (“Offer Notice”) to Tenant of the availability or anticipated availability) of such space, setting forth the terms and conditions on which Landlord would lease such Unilateral Option Space or Tenanted Option Space (collectively, the “ROFO Space”) to Tenant. The term of the lease for the ROFO Space shall be co-terminus with the Term for Premises provided that there is at least five (5) years of unexpired Term. Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by notice to Landlord given on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of the Offer Notice to lease such space on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice. If Tenant shall not elect to lease such space within the ten (10) Business period, Landlord shall be free to lease such space on any terms and conditions, provided, however, that the new lease shall contain a net effective rental rate (taking into account relevant factors, including the average annual base rent and additional rent (less concessions) tenant improvement allowances and other economic inducements) equal to least ninety two and one-half percent (92.5%) of such net effective rental rate set forth in Landlord’s Notice to Tenant. If, within twenty-four (24) months after Tenant’s actual or deemed rejection, desires to lease the Offer Space at a net effective rental rate less than ninety two and one-half percent (92.5%) of the net effective rental rate set forth in Landlord’s Offer Notice, then, prior to leasing the ROFO Space to a third party, Landlord shall again give Tenant an Offer Notice of the availability of the Offer Space and an opportunity to lease the same.

1.20.2 If Landlord has not leased the Offer Space within twenty four (24) months of the date of Landlord’s Offer Notice for such space, then Tenant’s ROFO shall once again apply to such space and Landlord must continue to first offer such space to Tenant prior to leasing to a third party at all times during the Term after the expiration of any such twenty four (24) month period (provided that the twenty four (24) month deadline shall be extended as necessary if Landlord has commenced negotiations with a prospective tenant but not yet in good faith executed a lease during the twenty four (24) month period).

 

28


1.21 Extension Term.

1.21.1 Provided that Tenant shall not have assigned this Lease other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer and shall not have entered into a Disqualifying Sublease, Tenant shall the option to renew the Term of this Lease (a “Renewal Option”) for two (2) consecutive periods of five (5) years each (the first such period, the “First Renewal Term”, the second such period, the “Second Renewal Term”; each of the First Renewal Term and Second Renewal Term are sometimes referred to herein as a “Renewal Term”). The Renewal Option shall be exercised by Tenant by written notice (a “Renewal Notice”) given to Landlord not less than fifteen (15) months prior to the Lease Expiration Date of the Term (or the First Renewal Term Expiration Date, as applicable). If there exists a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder on the date of the giving of a Renewal Notice, then, at Landlord’s election (which shall be exercised within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Renewal Notice, or shall be deemed waived), the Renewal Notice shall be ineffective as to the subject Renewal Term. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of the notices referenced in this Section 1.21.1.

1.21.2 The Renewal Notice shall set forth whether Tenant is exercising the First Renewal Option or both the First Renewal Option and Second Renewal Option. If Tenant does not so specify, the Renewal Notice shall be deemed to apply only to the First Renewal Option. Upon the giving of a Renewal Notice, but subject to Tenant’s right to rescind as set forth in the Section 1.21.3 below, this Lease shall thereupon be deemed renewed for the applicable Renewal Term with the same force and effect as if such Renewal Term had originally been included in the Term of this Lease, subject, however, to the provisions set forth herein. The First Renewal Term shall commence (the “First Renewal Term Commencement Date”) on the day after the Lease Expiration Date and shall terminate on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Lease Expiration Date (the “First Renewal Term Expiration Date”). The Second Renewal Term shall commence (the “Second Renewal Term Commencement Date”) on the day after the First Renewal Term Expiration Date and shall terminate on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the First Renewal Term Expiration Date (the “Second Renewal Term Expiration Date”).

1.21.3 All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect during each Renewal Term, except that (i) the Rent for such Renewal Term shall be an amount equal to FMV, and (ii) following Tenant’s exercise of the Second Renewal Term, Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Term of this Lease. Any termination, cancellation or surrender of the entire interest of Tenant under this Lease at any time during the Term hereof shall terminate any right of renewal of Tenant hereunder. It is hereby agreed that if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on the FMV of the Premises within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Renewal Notice (time being of the essence), Tenant shall have the right to rescind its Renewal Notice by delivering a Rescission Notice within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (time being of the essence). If Tenant does not timely deliver a Rescission Notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall have no further right to rescind the Renewal Notice and Tenant shall be deemed to have initiated the proceedings for the determination of FMV as set forth in Exhibit I of this Lease.

ARTICLE 2

SECURITY DEPOSIT

2.1 Letter of Credit as Security. Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a letter of credit pursuant to Section 2.3 (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of Nine Million Three Hundred Sixty Five Thousand Six Hundred Thirty Three and 36/100 Dollars ($9,365,633.36) (the “Security Deposit Amount”) to secure the prompt performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Original Premises and Fifth Floor Must-Take Space. Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to draw on the Letter of Credit and apply all or any portion of the proceeds therefrom to cure any Event of Default, in which event Tenant shall be obligated to deposit with Landlord cash or additional

 

30


letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency necessary to restore the face amount of the Letter of Credit to the Security Deposit Amount within five (5) Business Days after written notice from Landlord. To the extent not forfeited or otherwise used as provided herein, and provided the Premises are vacated in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, as described in Article 23 of this Lease, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Lease. Landlord shall deliver the Letter of Credit to the purchaser or any assignee of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Building, and following written notice thereof to Tenant, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Letter of Credit. This provision shall apply also to any and all subsequent transferors of the Landlord’s interest in this Lease. If the Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises as required by this Lease, the proceeds of the Letter of Credit shall not be deemed liquidated damages and Landlord’s use thereof pursuant to this Article 2 shall not preclude Landlord from recovering from Tenant all additional damages incurred by Landlord.

2.2 Adjustments to Security Deposit Amount.

2.2.1 Adjustments for Enhanced Financial Condition of Tenant. If at any time following the date hereof, Tenant achieves a calendar quarter of positive net cash as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (the “First LC Reduction Trigger”), Tenant may deliver to Landlord a proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit (an “LC Amendment”) (or a request that Landlord obtain same at Tenant’s cost and expense if the issuing bank so requires) reducing the face amount thereof to Seven Million Twenty Four Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Five and 02/100 Dollars ($7,024,225.02) (the “First Reduced LC Amount”) together with a certificate made by Tenant’s chief financial officer certifying (w) that the First LC Reduction Trigger has occurred, and (x) that after due inquiry and investigation, he or she has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would materially and adversely impair Tenant’s financial condition or its ability to have positive net cash, in the aggregate, for the succeeding 12-month period (an “Officer’s Certificate”). Tenant is a publicly traded company. In the event that Tenant ceases to be a publicly traded company, each Officer’s Certificate delivered under this Section 2.2 shall include current financial statements (including a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows) certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer as fairly presenting the financial condition of Tenant with footnotes as appropriate. Landlord shall respond to an Officer’s Certificate complying with this Section 2.2 within ten (10) Business Days either (y) requesting additional documents or information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord to verify the truth and accuracy of the statements set forth in the Officer’s Certificate, or (z) consenting to the LC Amendment (or applying for same if the issuing bank so requires) and thereupon the Security Deposit Amount shall be the First Reduced LC Amount as set forth above (the “First LC Reduction Event”), provided that no monetary or material mon-monetary Event of Default by Tenant then exists. Following the First LC Reduction Event, for any subsequent 12-month period thereafter for which Tenant has achieved, either (i) positive net cash in the aggregate for such 12-month period (the occurrence of the first such 12-month period, the “Second LC Reduction Trigger”, the second such 12-month period the “Third LC Reduction Trigger” and so on), or (ii) a credit rating (or a “shadow rating” as the case may be) of at least BBB- from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., or Baa3 Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (a “Triggering Credit Rating”), Tenant shall have the right to deliver to Landlord an Officer’s Certificate (but the

 

31


capitalized term in clause (w) of the definition thereof shall be replaced as applicable) together with an LC Amendment reducing the face amount of the Letter of Credit by Two Million Three Hundred Forty One Thousand Four Hundred Eight and 34/100 Dollars ($2,341,408.34) (or a request that Landlord obtain same if the issuing bank so requires) following each such 12-month period (the resulting reduced face amount of the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of the Second LC Reduction Trigger, the “Second Reduced LC Amount” and upon the occurrence of the Third LC Reduction Trigger, the “Third Reduced LC Amount”). Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate delivered by Tenant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall proceed as set forth in clause (y) or clause (z) above (but in the case of clause (z) the capitalized terms “First Reduced LC Amount” and “First LC Reduction Event” shall be deemed replaced, mutatis mutandis). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Security Deposit Amount shall not be reduced to less than Two Million Three Hundred Forty-One Thousand Four Hundred Eight and 34/100 Dollars ($2,341,408.34) unless and until Tenant shall have obtained a Triggering Credit Rating. The definition of the term “Fourth LC Reduction Trigger” shall be deemed to include the condition set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the term “Fourth Reduced LC Amount” means Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Nine and 45/100 Dollars ($780,469.45). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, the Security Deposit Amount shall never be less than the Fourth Reduced LC Amount. From and after the date that the Security Deposit Amount is first reduced in accordance with this Section 2.2, Tenant shall provide to Landlord from time to time within ten (10) Business Days following Landlord’s written request, but in no event more often than once in any calendar year (not including the submission made as part of a Tenant reduction request), a certificate made by Tenant’s chief financial officer that Tenant remains, on a trailing 12-month basis, in the aggregate, net cash positive and including the certification required in clause (x) above together with, if Tenant is no longer a publicly traded company, Tenant’s current financial statements. If Tenant fails to timely provide such certificate or is unable to do so, Landlord may demand that Tenant provide Landlord within thirty (30) Business Days of demand cash or additional letters of credit in the amount then necessary to raise the Security Deposit Amount to the level determined by Landlord to be appropriate in light of Tenant’s creditworthiness as determined in the sole but reasonable discretion of Landlord. Thereafter, at any time that Tenant again achieves in the aggregate, over a 12-month period, positive net cash, the Security Deposit reduction schedule shall re-commence in accordance with this Section 2.2.

2.2.2 Adjustments Upon Exercise of Expansion Rights. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an LC Amendment in order to increase the Security Deposit Amount following each occasion on which Tenant shall have exercised Expansion Rights (or if applicable, the ROFO), at such times as set forth elsewhere in this Lease and in the amount as hereinafter described. Each incremental Security Deposit Amount to be delivered to Landlord in accordance with this Section 2.2.2 shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the quotient resulting from dividing (i) a numerator equal to the then Security Deposit Amount by (ii) a denominator equal to the then rentable square footage of the Premises, by (y) the rentable square footage of the Expansion Rights premises (the “Initial Increased Security Deposit Amount”). The First Reduced LC Amount, Second Reduced LC Amount, Third Reduced LC Amount and Fourth Reduced LC Amount shall be adjusted contemporaneously with each adjustment to the Security Deposit Amount as set forth above

 

32


and shall equal the product of the Initial Increased Security Deposit Amount and the following fractions: with respect to the First Reduced LC Amount, nine-twelfths (9/12), with respect to the Second Reduced LC Amount, six-twelfths (6/12), with respect to the Third Reduced LC Amount, three-twelfths (3/12), and with respect to the Fourth Reduced LC Amount, one-twelfth (1/12). Section 2.1 and Section 2.2.1 above shall be amended at the time the Lease is amended in connection with Tenant’s exercise of Expansion Rights to reflect the adjustments to the Security Deposit Amount, First Reduced LC Amount, Second Reduced LC Amount, Third Reduced LC Amount and Fourth Reduced LC Amount all as set forth in this Section 2.2.2.

2.3 Letter of Credit Requirements. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord simultaneously with its execution and delivery of this Lease an irrevocable Letter of Credit in the Security Deposit Amount payable in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, running in favor of Landlord issued by a federally insured bank, in the amount of the Security Deposit Amount. The Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable for the term thereof and shall provide that it is automatically renewable for a period ending not earlier than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Lease Term without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord; provided that the issuing bank shall have the right not to renew said Letter of Credit on written notice to Landlord not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then current term thereof (it being understood, however, that the privilege of the issuing bank not to renew said Letter of Credit shall not, in any event, diminish the obligation of Tenant to maintain such Letter of Credit with Landlord through the date which is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the term thereby demised). Each Letter of Credit shall be issued by a commercial bank that has a credit rating with respect to certificates of deposit, short term deposits or commercial paper rated at least P-2 (or equivalent) by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc., or rated at least A-2 (or equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s Corporation, and shall be otherwise acceptable to Landlord in its sole but reasonable discretion. If the issuer’s credit rating is reduced below P-2 (or equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. or below A-2 (or equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s Corporation, or if the financial condition of such issuer changes in any other materially adverse way, then Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant obtain from a different issuer a substitute Letter of Credit that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section, and Tenant’s failure to obtain such substitute Letter of Credit within ten (10) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) shall entitle Landlord to immediately draw upon the then existing Letter of Credit in whole or in part, without notice to Tenant. In the event the issuer of any Letter of Credit held by Landlord is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any successor or similar entity, then, effective as of the date such receivership or conservatorship occurs, said Letter of Credit shall be deemed to not meet the requirements of this Section, and, within ten (10) days thereof, Tenant shall replace such Letter of Credit with other collateral acceptable to Landlord in its sole but reasonable discretion, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, constitute an Event of Default for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto other than the aforesaid ten (10) day period. Any failure or refusal of the issuer to honor the Letter of Credit shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Letter of Credit and Security Deposit Amount.

 

33


2.3.1 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord hereby approves Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) as the issuer for the Letter of Credit. Landlord hereby approves and agrees that the form and terms of the Letter of Credit shall be substantially in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit G, and made a part hereof, and the bank issuing the same shall be acceptable to Landlord in its sole but reasonable discretion and shall provide, among other things, that:

(A) Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount reasonably anticipated by Landlord to be necessary to cure Tenant’s Default, up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit, upon the presentation to the issuing bank of Landlord’s (or Landlord’s then managing agent’s) statement that such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, it being understood that if Landlord or its managing agent be a corporation, partnership or other entity, then such statement shall be signed by an officer (if a corporation), a general partner (if a partnership), or any authorized party (if another entity);

(B) The Letter of Credit will be honored by the issuing bank without inquiry as to the accuracy thereof and regardless of whether Tenant disputes the content of such statement;

(C) In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building of which the Premises are a part, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit to the transferee and, following written notice to Tenant of such transfer, the Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of said Letter of Credit to a new Landlord.

2.3.2 Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber said Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

2.3.3 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, or the issuing bank notifies Landlord that it shall not renew the Letter of Credit, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof or substitute Letter of Credit (such renewal or substitute Letter of Credit to be in effect not later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the expiring Letter of Credit), which is irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided until sixty (60) days after the end of the Lease Term, upon the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. However, (i) if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed or a substitute Letter of Credit is not timely received, (ii) or if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and upon the terms set forth in this Section 2.3, Tenant, at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit, or immediately upon its failure to comply with each and every term of this Section, must deposit with Landlord cash security in the amounts stipulated in Section 2.1, failing which Landlord may present such Letter of Credit to the bank, in accordance with the terms of this Section, and the entire sum secured thereby shall be paid to Landlord, to be held and applied by Landlord as provided in this Section. The Security Deposit may be commingled with Landlord’s general funds, if permitted by law.

 

34


2.4 Advance Deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord on the date of execution of this Lease the sum of $524,527.41 consisting of $450,834.62 (the “Prepaid Original Premises Base Rent”) and $73,692.79 (the “Prepaid Fifth Floor Base Rent” and together with the Prepaid Original Premises Base Rent, the “Prepaid Rent”). Provided that Tenant shall be current in the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent (as such terms are hereinafter defined) and not then be in default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease after written notice and beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, on Tenant’s part to observed or performed, Landlord shall apply the Prepaid Original Premises Base Rent to the first installment of Base Rent due hereunder for the Original Premises and the Prepaid Fifth Floor Base Rent to first installment of Base Rent due hereunder for the Fifth Floor Must Take Space. The Prepaid Rent, prior to its being applied to the payment of Base Rent, shall constitute security for the payment and performance by Tenant of all of Tenant’s obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements under this Lease, but shall not be deemed liquidated damages, but shall be applied in reduction of Tenant’s total obligation(s) to Landlord.

2.5 No Separate Account. Landlord shall not be obligated to hold the Prepaid Rent in a separate account from other Building or Project funds or to pay or accrue any interest thereon for the benefit of Tenant.

ARTICLE 3

Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all laws relating to its use and occupancy of the Premises and shall observe the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D. No act shall be done in or about the Premises by Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors that is unlawful, or which will knowingly increase the existing rate of insurance on the Building; provided, however, the foregoing shall in no event prevent the Tenant from conducting its normal business operations in accordance with the permitted uses set forth in Section 3.1 above. In the event of a breach of the covenant set forth in the immediately preceding sentence regarding insurance rates, upon receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, Tenant shall cease the activity giving rise to such increase. To the extent such activity is the sole cause of an increase in the existing rate of insurance for the Building, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any and all such increases in premiums resulting solely such breach.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS; RECYCLING

4.1 Environmental Protection. Except for reasonable amounts of customary office and cleaning supplies that are used, stored, and disposed of by Tenant in accordance with Environmental Laws (as defined below), Tenant and Tenant’s employees, contractors and agents shall not dispose of or generate, manufacture, store, treat or use any oil, petroleum or chemical liquids or solids, liquid or gaseous products or any hazardous waste or hazardous substance including, without limitation, asbestos (hereinafter collectively referred to as “hazardous waste” or “Hazardous Materials”), as those terms are used in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, or in any other federal, state or local law governing hazardous substances or in any regulations related to any of the foregoing in each case as may be amended from time to time (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Environmental Laws”) at, upon, under or within the Premises or the Project, or into the plumbing or sewer or water system servicing the Premises or the Project in violation of any Environmental Laws, nor shall Tenant, its employees, contractors or agents cause or permit the discharge, spillage, uncontrolled loss, seepage or filtration of any hazardous waste at, upon, under or within the Premises or the Project or into the plumbing or sewer or water system servicing the same. Tenant shall comply in all respects with the requirements of Environmental Laws, and shall notify Landlord immediately in the event of its actual discovery of any hazardous waste at, upon, under or within the Premises or the Project, or of any written notice by a governmental authority or private party alleging that a disposal of hazardous waste on or near the Premises may have occurred. In the event Tenant or its employees are responsible for a violation of the Environmental Laws, Tenant further agrees to provide Landlord reasonable access to any relevant documents or information in Tenant’s possession or control directly relevant to the question of Tenant’s violation of Environmental Laws.

Landlord represents and warrants that to the best of Landlord’s Knowledge, there is no hazardous waste located at, on or under the Premises, the Building, the Land or any part of the Project as of the Lease Commencement Date. The term “Landlord’s Knowledge” means the actual knowledge of Todd MacWhorter, the on-site Senior Real Estate Manager for the Project, who, for the avoidance of doubt, shall have no personally liability hereunder. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against all costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages, injunctions, suits, fines, penalties, claims and demands, including without limitation, remediation and clean-up costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any violation of or defaults of the covenants of this Section 4.3 and the presence of hazardous waste at, on or under the Premises, the Land, the Building or the Project not caused or introduced by Tenant or its agents.

36


Tenant be liable for any costs or fines, through Operating Expenses or otherwise, related to or a result of the presence or removal of hazardous waste at, on or under the Premises, the Land, the Building or the Project, not caused by Tenant or its agents. Landlord shall comply in all respects with the requirements of the Environmental Laws and related regulations, and shall notify Tenant promptly in the vent of its discovery of any hazardous waste at, upon, under or within any part of the Project or of any notice by a governmental authority or private party alleging that a disposal of hazardous waste or violation of Environmental Laws may have occurred at, on or under the Premises, Building, Land or any part of the Project.

4.4 Recycling Regulations. Tenant shall be solely responsible for compliance with all orders, requirements and conditions now or hereafter imposed and required by any ordinances, laws, orders and/or regulations (hereinafter collectively called “regulations”) of any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Premises or the Building regarding the collection, sorting, separation and recycling of waste products, garbage, refuse and trash (hereinafter collectively called “waste products”).

4.5 Americans with Disabilities Act. Tenant shall promptly comply with all requirements relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12,101 et seq., and the regulations promulgated thereunder as in effect from time to time and with all similar state and local laws (“ADA Requirements”) as relates to the Premises.

Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against any penalties, fines, costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages, injunctions, suits, fines, penalties, claims, and demands arising from the breach by Landlord of the representations set forth in this Section 4.5.

ARTICLE 5

LATE CHARGES; INTEREST.

5.1 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment to Landlord of Base Rent or Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs and loss of income not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain. If any Base Rent or Additional Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designated agent within five (5) Business Days after the date due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the administrative cost that Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s late payment. Landlord’s acceptance of such late charges shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s Default with respect to such overdue amount or otherwise estop Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees to waive the first (1st) late payment in any given twelve (12) month period provided Tenant delivers the payment within five (5) days following receipt of written notice that the same is past due.

 

37


5.2 Interest. In addition to the administrative late charge provided for under Section 5.1, above, if any Base Rent or Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord is not paid as and when due under this Lease, then the unpaid amount shall bear interest from the date originally due until the date paid at an annual rate of interest equal to the sum of (a) the “prime rate” of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal (or, if not published, as established by the then largest national banking association in the United States of America) from time to time (the “Prime Rate”) plus (b) five percent (5%) (the “Default Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees to waive such interest charge on the first (1st) late payment in any given twelve (12) month period provided Tenant delivers the payment within five (5) days following receipt of written notice that the same is past due.

ARTICLE 6

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.

6.1 Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall in a manner consistent with other buildings of comparable size, age, condition, location and quality located in the Tysons Corner area (“Comparable Buildings”) maintain, repair, replace and keep in good operating condition, the Common Areas (as defined in Article 36 below), structural elements of the Building (including without limitation the roof, the foundation, the footings, the floor slab, the load bearing walls, pipes, conduits and other exterior walls of the Building), all base building mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life-safety systems and HVAC as well as the adjacent parking structure, the cost of which shall be included within Operating Expenses to the extent permitted under Article 8 below. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the “Pond C Property Owner” as such quoted term is defined, and such obligations are set forth, in that certain Storm Water Detention Agreement dated September 16, 1996 and recorded by Deed in the land records of Fairfax County Virginia, in Deed Book 9806 a at Page 1080, provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to commence any action or proceeding in connection therewith unless Landlord determines to do so in Landlord’s sole and absolute judgment.

6.2 Tenant’s Obligations. Subject to Landlord’s obligations as set forth in Section 6.1 above and its right of access pursuant to Article 16, Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of the interior non-structural portions of the Premises. Tenant shall have no obligation to maintain or repair any portion of the Project’s structure and/or systems regardless of whether the same are located in or run in, under or through the Premises. Tenant shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition in the Premises actually known to Tenant which Landlord is required to repair, and failure to so report such defects shall excuse any delay by Landlord in commencing and completing such repair, provided that (i) Landlord shall not be so excused if Landlord had actual knowledge of the need for such repair independent of Tenant’s notification, and (ii) once Landlord is notified or has actual knowledge of the need for such repair, Landlord’s repair obligation under Section 6.1 above shall be fully effective as to such item (and, to the extent that any Tenant failure to report such defects that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct and results in the otherwise avoidable need to perform a capital repair or replacement which under Section 8.7 is excluded from Operating Expenses, in lieu of an ordinary repair which under Section 8.6 would be included within Operating Expenses, Tenant shall be responsible for the reasonable and actual cost of such

 

38


capital repair or replacement (less the anticipated ordinary repair costs) unless Tenant can demonstrate that a capital repair or replacement to such item would in any event have been necessary within twelve (12) months thereafter, even if the defective condition had been promptly reported to Landlord or known by Landlord in a timely fashion). The reasonable out of pocket costs of repairs or replacements arising as a result of any act or neglect of Tenant or any Tenant Party (reasonable wear and tear excepted) shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any loss to Landlord’s property occasioned by fire or other casualty in which case the terms of Article 12 and Article 13 shall govern and control.

ARTICLE 7

UTILITIES AND SERVICES.

7.1 Services. Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the following services and facilities commensurate in amount, quality and cost with other prudently operated Comparable Buildings: (i) hot and cold running water in any public lavatory facilities located within the Common Areas; (ii) public lavatory facilities and supplies within the Common Areas and Premises; (iii) cleaning and janitorial services consistent with Landlord’s cleaning specifications for the Building as set forth on Exhibit K, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays (“Business Days”); (iv) stabilized heating and/or air conditioning during business hours, excluding Sundays and holidays, sufficient to achieve temperatures between sixty-eight degrees (68º) Fahrenheit dry bulb and seventy-five degrees (75º) Fahrenheit dry bulb, uniformly distributed, at less than sixty-five percent (65%) relative humidity; (v) access to the Building and adjacent parking structure and parking areas 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including holidays; (vi) elevators for ingress and egress to the floors on which the Premises is located, with at least one (1) elevator subject to call at all times; (vii) replacement of Building standard light bulbs, ballasts and fluorescent tubes; (viii) exterior window cleaning at least once annually; and (ix) electricity for normal office usage; the cost of all of which shall be deemed an Operating Expense hereunder unless otherwise provided above. For purposes hereof, “holidays” shall be defined as the following: New Year’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Columbus Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Martin Luther King Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving (and the day after), and Christmas, and “business hours” shall be 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, excluding holidays (provided that Tenant shall have access to the Building and Premises 24 hours per day, 7 days per week). Tenant shall be responsible for any and all security for the Premises and Tenant’s business to be conducted therein.

7.2 Additional Services. If Tenant requires services on weekends or holidays, Landlord shall provide such additional service after reasonable prior written request therefor from Tenant (which shall be no later than 5:00 P.M. Friday or, as the case may be, the Business Day prior to a holiday), and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such additional service, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days of written request therefor, Landlord’s actual direct out-of-pocket costs to Landlord for such additional service as determined by Landlord; provided, however, that if Tenant shall have used more than 200 hours of after-hours HVAC service per year on a cumulative/carryover basis, Landlord may include a commercially reasonable mark-up of no more than five percent (5%) on all usage over 200 hours to account for extra wear and tear on the HVAC equipment.

 

39


7.3 Excess Utility Consumption. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, (i) power to operate personal computers, calculating machines, photocopying machines and other equipment that operates on 120/208 volts at approximately five (5) watts per usable square foot, and (ii) power to operate Tenant’s lighting and Tenant’s equipment that operates on 277/480 volts at approximately two (2) watts per usable square foot (collectively, the “Minimum Electrical Standard”). In the event that the Tenant’s connected loads for low electrical consumption (120/208 volts) and high electrical consumption (277/480 volts) are in excess of those loads stated above, then Landlord shall have the right to require that one or more separate meters or sub-meters be installed to record the consumption of electricity by Tenant in the Premises. The cost of any such meters and the installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid by Landlord. If Tenant’s use of electricity is determined to exceed the Minimum Electrical Standard, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, for such portion of Tenant’s actual excess electrical consumption, at the rates charged for such service by the local public utility company and without mark-up by Landlord.

7.4 Fitness Facility. Throughout the Term of this Lease, including any extensions or renewals thereof, Tenant’s employees shall have the non-exclusive right to use the fitness facility located within the Project (the “Fitness Facility”) during the Fitness Facility’s hours of operation at no additional cost to Tenant (other than the recovery of Operating Expenses as provided below). Landlord agrees to maintain the Fitness Facility equal to or better than the condition of the Fitness Facility on the Effective Date hereof and consistent with fitness facilities in Comparable Buildings, which shall include without limitation modern weight resistance and cardio equipment, separate men’s and women’s locker rooms. Use of the Fitness Facility will be limited to tenants (including any permitted assignees and subtenants) of the Project and their employees on a non-exclusive basis. Tenant and its employees shall use the Fitness Facility at its own risk and will provide any certifications of waiver of liability as Landlord may request from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each user of the Fitness Facility shall be required to execute and deliver a waiver of liability in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (or in another similar form provided by and acceptable to Landlord).

7.5 Interruption of Services. Except as provided in this Section 7.5, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for (i) any damage to the Premises, or (ii) any loss, damage or injury to any property therein or thereon, or (iii) any claims for the interruption of or loss to Tenant’s business or for any damages or consequential losses, or (iv) any interruption in any utility or other services to the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there shall be an interruption, curtailment or suspension of any service required to be provided by Landlord pursuant to this Lease (e.g. HVAC, elevators, electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems) that interferes with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises or a material portion thereof, and Tenant does not use or occupy all or any material portion of the Premises (any such event, a “Service Interruption”), and if such Service Interruption shall continue for five (5) consecutive days as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, or a period of more than eight (8) consecutive days for any reason other than the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Rent then due and payable at the time based on the area of the Premises affected,

 

40


for the period that shall begin on the sixth (6th) or ninth (9th) days of Service Interruption, respectively, or any such earlier date to the extent Landlord receives rent loss insurance proceeds therefore and that shall end on the day such Service Interruption shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not receive any abatement if a Service Interruption results from a government act or omission, acts of war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor shortages, natural disasters or other similar causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control unless and to the extent that Landlord receives rent loss insurance proceeds therefor. In all events, Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Service Interruption as soon as is reasonably practicable.

ARTICLE 8

OPERATING EXPENSES.

8.1 Operating Expenses Generally. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and continuing thereafter during each calendar year or portion thereof during the Term, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent to Landlord, without diminution, set-off or deduction except as otherwise specified in this Lease, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses (defined below) for each calendar year.

8.2 Cap on Controllable OpEx. For purposes of determining Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Controllable Operating Expenses (defined below) for any calendar year will be deemed not to increase over the amount of Controllable Operating Expenses incurred during the previous calendar year by more than four percent (4%) per year on a cumulative basis. The term “Controllable Operating Expenses” means all Operating Expenses except costs and expenses for taxes, insurance, and utilities, costs to Landlord resulting from compliance with Applicable Laws, increases in service contract fees and expenses resulting from government-mandated wage increases, and costs incurred under union labor contracts. The term “Non-Controllable Operating Expenses” means all Operating Expenses other than Controllable Operating Expenses. There is no cap on Non-Controllable Operating Expenses.

8.3 Contingent Operating Expense Credit. If the aggregate Operating Expenses for calendar year 2019 (as grossed up in accordance with Section 8.8 below, the “2019 OpEx”) exceeds $14.98 per rentable square foot (the “2019 OpEx Stop” and the positive difference if any between the 2019 OpEx and the 2019 Op Ex Stop, the “2019 OpEx Over-Run”), then, provided that there does not exist a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall receive a credit against Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for calendar year 2019, and for each calendar year thereafter during the Term, up to a maximum amount for each such year that is equal to Tenant’s Share of the 2019 OpEx Over-Run (the “Annual OpEx Credit”). If the excess of the Operating Expenses in any calendar year over the 2019 OpEx Stop is less than the 2019 OpEx Over-Run, then the Annual OpEx Credit shall be reduced to Tenant’s Share of such excess. The Annual OpEx Credit shall be applied by Landlord in each calendar year in twelve (12) equal monthly installments against the estimated payments to be made by Tenant under Section 8.4 below. The Annual OpEx Credit shall only be available to Tenant for the sole purpose of reducing Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.3. Tenant shall not receive any credit or rebate for any unused Annual OpEx Credit for any partial calendar year occurring during the Term.

 

41


8.4 Estimated Payments. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall make monthly installment payments toward Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses on an estimated basis, based on Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Operating Expenses for such calendar year. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and on the first day of each month thereafter throughout the Term (and any extension thereof), one-twelfth (1/12th) of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the then-current calendar year. If at any time or times during such calendar year it appears to Landlord that Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year will vary from Landlord’s estimate, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, reasonably revise its estimate for such calendar year (but not more than twice during any calendar year) and Tenant’s estimated payments hereunder for such calendar year shall thereupon be based on such revised estimate.

8.5 Annual Reconciliation. Landlord shall provide to Tenant within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year (Landlord agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to do so within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the applicable year, but in no event later than one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of the applicable year), a reasonably detailed statement (the “Expense Statement”), calculated in accordance with Section 8.1, above, setting forth the total actual Operating Expenses for such calendar year and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses. Landlord shall respond to any inquiries and requests for invoices or other information with respect to Operating Expenses within thirty (30) days of any written request therefor by Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any shortfall in the amount of estimated payments made to Landlord pursuant to Section 8.4 on account of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year, and the actual amount shown as Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year. In the event the Expense Statement reflects an overpayment of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such year, such overpayment shall be credited against the next due Rent hereunder, except if Tenant’s Lease is no longer in effect then Landlord shall refund such amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days.

8.6 Operating Expenses Defined. The term “Operating Expenses” shall mean all reasonable expenses actually incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation, management, maintenance and repair of the Project (which shall in all cases be net of any discounts, credits, reimbursements and rebates received by Landlord or which Landlord is entitled to receive). All Operating Expenses shall be determined according to generally accepted accounting principles, which shall be consistently applied.

8.8 Adjustment. In the calculation of any expenses hereunder, it is understood that no expense shall be charged more than once. Landlord shall use its best efforts in good faith to effect an equitable proration of bills for services rendered to the Building and to any other property owned by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord. In the event there exists a conflict as to an expense which is specified to be included in Operating Expenses and is also specified to be excluded from Operating Expenses within the above list, the exclusions listed above shall prevail and the expenses shall be deemed excluded.

8.9 Further Adjustment. Operating Expenses for each calendar year shall be adjusted to include all costs, expenses and disbursements which vary by occupancy or not otherwise provided to all tenants that Landlord reasonably determines would have been incurred if Landlord had provided all utilities and services within the definition of Operating Expenses to tenants and occupants in the Building had the Building been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied throughout such year. Such costs shall include costs which would have been incurred as ordinary maintenance and repair but which were covered as a part of any warranty in place for the benefit of Landlord or the Building.

8.10 Tenant’s Audit Rights. Tenant, within sixty (60) days after receipt of a reasonably detailed Expense Statement, may give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of Operating Expenses for the year to which the statement applies. The review shall be limited solely to confirming that the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant are consistent with the terms of this Lease. The audit must be performed by a nationally recognized certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord and no portion of the compensation of such firm or person shall be based directly or indirectly upon a percentage of the savings found or the results of the review. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review, which shall take place at Landlord’s offices in the Project during regular business hours. Such records shall include records related to Operating Expenses for the year in question and for the immediately two (2) calendar years preceding such year (provided, however, that Tenant shall have no right to dispute Operating Expenses for such preceding years, it being acknowledged that such records are for informational purposes only). If any records are maintained at a location other than the management office for the Building, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, have copies made of all required records and delivered to the Project for Tenant’s inspection. Within sixty (60) days after the records are made available to Tenant at the Project, Tenant shall have the right to perform the audit. In the event the audit discovers any discrepancies, within Tenant shall give Landlord written notice within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s receipt of the audit report identifying the claimed errors and overcharges (an “Objection Notice”). Tenant shall provide a full and complete copy of the audit to Landlord with the Objection Notice. Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with Tenant’s auditor to explain its calculation of Operating Expenses. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees of Tenant’s auditor for the audit, unless such audit reveals any errors on the part of Landlord in excess of five percent (5%) in favor of Landlord, in

 

46


which case Landlord shall be responsible for all costs, expenses and fees of Tenant’s auditor for the audit not to exceed five thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00). If Tenant does not deliver a timely Objection Notice or Review Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s Expense Statement and both parties shall be barred from raising any claims regarding Operating Expenses for that year. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. Tenant may not examine Landlord’s records or dispute any Expense Statement unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due. Following completion of any audit and resolution of any dispute as to the audit findings, if Tenant’s actual payments exceed the amount Tenant is obligated to pay, Landlord will credit the overpayment to the next Rent due under this Lease or shall refund the excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s request for payment if this Lease has terminated. If Tenant’s actual payments are less than the amount Tenant is obligated to pay, Tenant will pay to Landlord the difference between the amount Tenant paid and the amount determined in the audit within thirty (30) days after it receives the final audit results. Pending resolution of any audit under this Section, Tenant will continue to pay to Landlord the estimated amounts of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses as billed by Landlord.

ARTICLE 9

REAL ESTATE TAXES.

9.1 Real Estate Taxes Generally. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and continuing thereafter during each calendar year or portion thereof during the Term, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent to Landlord, without diminution, set-off or deduction except as otherwise specified in this Lease, Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes (as defined in Section 9.3, below) paid in such calendar year.

9.2 Estimated Payment. Tenant shall make monthly installment payments toward Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes on an estimated basis, based on Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, commencing on the first day of the second Lease Year and on the first day of each month thereafter throughout the Term (and any extension thereof), one-twelfth (1/12th) of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes for the then-current calendar year. If at any time or times during such calendar year Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year will vary from Landlord’s estimate, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, once during any calendar year, reasonably revise its estimate for such calendar year and Tenant’s estimated payments hereunder for such calendar year shall thereupon be based on such revised estimate.

9.3 Real Estate Taxes Defined. For purposes of this Lease, “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean all real estate taxes and assessments, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, assessed, levied or imposed upon the Building or the Land, or assessed, levied or imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment or systems in, upon or used in connection with the operation of the Building or the Land under the current or any future taxation or assessment system or modification of, supplement to, or substitute for such system. Except as otherwise specified below, Real Estate Taxes shall include all reasonable expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and actual costs) incurred by Landlord in

 

47


obtaining or attempting to obtain a reduction of such taxes, rates or assessments, including any legal fees and costs incurred in connection with contesting or appealing the amounts or the imposition of any Real Estate Taxes. In the event Real Estate Taxes (including special assessments) may be paid in installments, they may be paid in installments or in lump sum, at Landlord’s election (and in such event Real Estate Taxes shall include such installments and interest paid on the unpaid balance of the assessment, or the entirety thereof, as applicable). Landlord shall use its best efforts in good faith to effect an equitable proration of Real Estate Taxes and assessments on the Building and any other property owned by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord. Landlord shall not recover more than one hundred percent (100%) of the Real Estate Taxes, assessments and insurance premiums actually incurred by Landlord. Real Estate Taxes shall not include any excess profits, excise taxes, income, gift, franchise, transfer, estate, inheritance or capital stock tax, succession taxes and transfer or recordation taxes or any other tax computed based on the net income or net profits of Landlord, or any gross receipts taxes, except to the extent any such taxes are in the nature of or are in substation or recharacterization or replacement of Real Estate Taxes, and any charge that is duplicative of, or expressly excluded from Operating Expenses, nor shall such term include any penalties for failure of Landlord to timely pay Real Estate Taxes.

9.4 Annual Reconciliation. Landlord shall provide to Tenant within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year (Landlord agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to do so within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the applicable year, but in no event later than one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of the applicable year), with Landlord’s calculation of Tenant’s Share thereof (the “Tax Statement”). Within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Tax Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any shortfall in the amount of estimated payments made to Landlord pursuant to Section 9.2 on account of Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year, and the actual amount shown as Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year. In the event the Tax Statement reflects an overpayment of Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes for such year, such overpayment shall be credited against the next due Rent hereunder, except if Tenant’s Lease is no longer in effect then Landlord shall refund such amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days.

ARTICLE 10

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS; OPERATING EXPENSES

AND REAL ESTATE TAXES.

10.1 Partial Year; End of Term. To the extent that a more accurate method of allocating same cannot be implemented by Landlord, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for any partial calendar year shall be determined by multiplying the amount of Tenant’s Share thereof for the full calendar year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such partial year falling within the Term and the denominator of which is 365. If this Lease terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount of any adjustment to Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes with respect to the year in which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from January 1 of such year to and including such termination date bears to three hundred sixty-five (365); and any amount payable by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant to Landlord with respect to such adjustment shall be payable within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of the applicable Expense Statement and Tax Statement with respect to such year.

 

48


10.2 Other Taxes. In addition to Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes, Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all personal property taxes payable with respect to all property of Tenant located in the Premises or the Building, and shall provide promptly, upon request of Landlord, written proof of such payment.

10.3 Contesting Real Estate Taxes. Landlord will have the right to employ a tax consulting firm to attempt to assure a fair tax burden on the Project. The reasonable and actual cost of such service shall be included in the Real Estate Taxes hereunder in the year same were incurred or paid, at Landlord’s election. Additionally, during any such period, Landlord shall have the option, in its reasonable judgment, to contest any tax assessment, valuation or levy against the Project, and to retain legal counsel and expert witnesses to assist in such contest and otherwise to incur expenses in such contest, and any reasonable and actual fees, expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in contesting any assessments, levies or tax rate applicable to the Project, whether or not such contest is successful, shall be included in Real Estate Taxes as set forth above. If Landlord contests the Real Estate Taxes for any calendar year and such contest results in an increase in Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year, then, Landlord shall have the right to bill Tenant for any prior underpayments of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses thereby resulting. If Landlord receives a refund of any portion of the Real Estate Taxes that were included in the Real Estate Taxes paid by Tenant, then Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt, shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s Share of the refunded taxes, less any reasonable and actual expenses that Landlord reasonably incurred to obtain the refund (including without limitation, appraisal fees, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, and fees and expenses of Landlord’s managing agent), if and to the extent not previously paid as part of Operating Expenses.

10.4 Tenant’s Right to Contest Real Estate Taxes. Each year, Landlord will advise Tenant promptly following Landlord’s determination as to whether or not it intends to appeal the real property taxes for the Building and the Land for any particular year occurring in whole or in part during the Lease Term. If Landlord has not elected to appeal, Tenant shall have the right, upon prior written notice thereof delivered to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days prior to the last day of the period permitted to appeal such assessment and/or bill, to require Landlord to petition (i) for a reduction of the assessed valuation of the Building and/or the Land, (ii) for a refund of real estate taxes or assessments, and/or (iii) for such other relief in connection with a claim challenging the validity and/or applicability of any Real Estate Tax, assessment, or related law (each, a “Tax Protest”), the costs of which (including, without limitation, appraisal fees, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, fees and expenses of Landlord’s managing agent and the cost to comply with the requirements of any mortgagee) shall be included in Operating Expenses; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to make any such Tax Protest if Landlord determines in its good faith, commercially reasonable judgment that such requested Tax Protest is not reasonable (in consideration of, among other factors, the materiality of such requested petition and/or the related claim and the likelihood of success in such matter) or in keeping with the prudent management and/or operation of the Building. Landlord shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing standard if Landlord shall have followed the advice of Landlord’s local tax certiorari professional not to commence a Tax Protest.

11.1.1 Commercial general liability insurance naming Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent as additional insureds against any and all claims for bodily injury and property damage occurring in or about the Premises or any portion thereof covering the operation of Tenant and any subtenants, licensees and concessionaires of Tenant. Such insurance shall be written on an “Occurrence Form” and shall include, without limitation, blanket contractual liability recognizing provisions of this Lease, special form property damage, coverage for independent contractors, personal injury liability and coverage for hired auto and non-ownership auto liability. Such insurance shall be primary and not contributing to any insurance available to Landlord and Landlord’s insurance shall be in excess thereto. Such insurance shall have a limit of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) per occurrence with a Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) general aggregate; provided, however that no such limits shall be deemed limitation of the liability of Tenant hereunder. If Tenant has other locations that it owns or leases, the policy shall include an aggregate limit per location endorsement. The foregoing limits may be achieved by a combination of primary and excess/umbrella policies carried by Tenant meeting the requirements of this Article 11;

11.1.2 Personal property insurance insuring all equipment, trade fixtures, inventory, fixtures and personal property located within the Premises, the Rooftop Equipment and all leasehold improvements (including the Tenant Improvements (defined in Section 1.19.7)), including plate glass insurance covering breakage of any glass frontage installed by or on behalf of Tenant within or as a part of the Premises or otherwise as a part of the Building but adjoining the Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to self-insure the plate glass). Such insurance shall be written on a replacement cost basis in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement value of the aggregate of the foregoing on an “agreed to value” basis;

11.1.3 Tenant shall maintain boiler and machinery insurance coverage if a separate HVAC system is in operation at the Premises or as part of the Rooftop Equipment. Minimum liability amount per accident must equal the lesser of the replacement (insurable) value of the improvements housing such HVAC system along with the replacement cost value of the machinery or $2,000,000.

11.1.4 If Tenant makes any Alterations (including the Tenant Improvements), Tenant agrees to carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Landlord may require;

 

50


11.1.5 Tenant shall maintain business income interruption coverage for loss of business income in and amounts sufficient to cover loss of income during a period of not less than eighteen (18) months following loss to the demised premises with an extended period of indemnity of six (6) months.

11.1.7 Employer’s liability insurance with a limit of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for each accident;

11.1.8 Tenant shall ensure that any contractor permitted to work on the Premises purchase and maintain and comply with the insurance requirements set forth on Exhibit C-3 Such commercially reasonable additional insurance as any mortgagee of the Building may reasonably require.

11.2 Rating; Certificates; Cancellation. The policies required to be maintained by Tenant shall be with companies rated “A” “XII” or better in the most current issue of Best’s Insurance Reports. Insurers shall be licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Virginia and domiciled in the USA. Any deductible amounts under any insurance policies required hereunder shall be commercially reasonable and the satisfaction of same shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility. Certificates of insurance and certified copies of the policies shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and annually thereafter at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the old policy. Tenant shall have the right to provide insurance coverage which it is obligated to carry pursuant to the terms hereof in a blanket policy, provided such blanket policy expressly affords coverage to the Premises and to Landlord as required by this Lease. Tenant or Tenant’s insurer shall provide notification to Landlord and any mortgagee(s) of Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to any cancellation or modification to reduce the insurance coverage.

11.3 Other. In the event Tenant does not purchase the insurance required by this Lease or keep the same in full force and effect, and the same is not corrected within five (5) days following Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase the necessary insurance and pay the premium therefor. Tenant shall repay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, any and all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and damages which Landlord may sustain by reason of the failure of Tenant to obtain and maintain the required insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all insurance required of Tenant under this Lease shall: (i) be written as primary policy coverage and non-contributing with respect to any coverage which Landlord may carry (it being understood and agreed that any insurance that Landlord may carry shall be excess insurance); (ii) name Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, and any mortgagee of the Building as additional insureds, as their respective interests may appear (except with respect to workers’ compensation insurance), and (iii) contain an endorsement for cross liability and severability of interests.

 

51


11.4 Landlord’s Coverage Requirements. Landlord shall maintain during the Term of this Lease, including and any extensions or renewals thereof (i) insurance against loss or damage with respect to the Building on an “all risk” type insurance form, with customary exceptions, subject to such commercially reasonable deductibles and self-insured retentions (for landlords comparable to Landlord and Comparable Buildings), in an amount equal to at least the replacement value of the Building, and (ii) commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Building and the common areas of the Project in an amount as Landlord may determine, but such amount shall not be less than the amount similar landlords of Comparable Buildings would maintain, with commercially reasonable deductibles and self-insurance retentions (for landlords comparable to Landlord and Comparable Buildings). The cost of such insurance shall be treated as a part of Operating Expenses. Such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company selected by Landlord. Payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord. Landlord may maintain such other commercially reasonable insurance as may from time to time be required by the holder of any mortgage encumbering the Building or the Project. The cost of all such additional insurance shall also be part of the Operating Expenses. Landlord shall be deemed in compliance with this Section 11.4 if Landlord shall maintain the policies of insurance that have been approved by Landlord’s Current Lender or any successor thereto in accordance with the requirements of the loan documents relating to the Project.

ARTICLE 12

WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant mutually covenant and agree that each party, in connection with any special causes of loss form property insurance policies required to be furnished in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, or in connection with any special causes of loss form property insurance policies which they obtain insuring such insurable interest as Landlord or Tenant may have in its own properties, whether personal or real, shall expressly waive and release and all rights of recovery against the other, and agree not to seek to recover from the other or to make any claim against the other, or the Landlord Parties (hereinafter defined) or Tenant Parties (hereinafter defined), respectively, for any loss or damage to their respective real and personal property as well as loss of business and/or rental income, incurred by the waiving/releasing party to the extent such loss or damage is insured under any insurance policy required by this Lease or which would have been so insured had the party carried the insurance it was required to carry hereunder, and any right of subrogation on the part of the insurer against Landlord (and any mortgagee requested by Landlord) or Tenant as the same may be applicable, which right to the extent not prohibited or violative of any such policy is hereby expressly waived, and Landlord and Tenant each mutually waive all right of recovery against each other, their agents, or employees for any loss, damage or injury of any nature whatsoever to property for which either party is required by this Lease to carry insurance. In addition, the parties hereto shall procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any insurance policy required by this Lease pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation. The insurance policies required by this Lease shall contain no provision that would invalidate or restrict the parties’ waiver and release of the rights of recovery in this section. The parties hereto covenant that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against the parties hereto by virtue of such insurance policy.

ARTICLE 13

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

13.1 Damage

13.1.1 Subject to terms and conditions hereof, if the Premises or the Building are totally or partially damaged or destroyed from any cause, thereby rendering the Premises totally or partially inaccessible or untenantable, Landlord shall diligently (taking into account the time necessary to effectuate a satisfactory settlement with any insurance company involved) restore and repair (i) the Building to substantially the same condition it was in prior to such damage or destruction, and (ii) the Original Premises, Fifth Floor Must-Take Space, Fixed Date Expansion Option Space, Unilateral Expansion Space, Identified ROFR Space and Tenanted Space leased by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, to substantially the same condition that each such portion of the Premises was in on the date that Landlord delivered possession thereof to Tenant.

13.1.2 Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction (the “Determination Period”), Landlord will provide Tenant, in writing (the “Restoration Notice”), with a good faith written estimate (based on the restoration period estimated by a third party architect, general contractor or similar professional) of the date by which the repairs and restoration will be completed, including the time needed for removal of debris, preparation of plans, bidding of contracts, and issuance of all required governmental permits.

13.1.3 If, as set forth in the Restoration Notice, the repairs and restoration to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Section 13.1.1 above cannot be completed within two (2) years following the occurrence of such damage or destruction, including the time needed for removal of debris, preparation of plans, bidding of contracts, and issuance of all required governmental permits, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party at any time within thirty (30) days following expiration of the Determination Period, which termination shall be effective as of the date such party delivers notice of its election to terminate the Lease, and all liabilities and obligations. Base Rent and all Additional Rent otherwise to come due hereunder shall be abated from the date of the casualty in the same proportion as the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the whole thereof through the date on which Landlord substantially completes the repairs and restoration to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Section 13.1.1. If neither party terminates the Lease pursuant to the terms hereof, Landlord shall, promptly after adjusting the insurance claim and obtaining governmental approvals for reconstruction, commence and diligently prosecute to completion the restoration pursuant to Section 13.1.1 above within the aforementioned two (2) year period.

13.2 Termination. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article 13, all Rent payable hereunder shall be apportioned and paid to the date of the occurrence of such damage or destruction and Tenant shall have no further rights or remedies against Landlord pursuant to this Lease, or otherwise, except for those provisions that expressly survive the termination of this Lease. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to the terms of this Article 13, until the repair and restoration of the Premises is completed, Tenant shall be required to pay annual Rent only for that portion of the Premises that Tenant is able to use in support of its then current business needs, as reasonably determined by Tenant in good faith, while repairs are being made, based on the ratio that the amount of rentable area in the usable portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises.

 

53


13.3 Business Interruption. Other than rental abatement as and to the extent provided in this Article 13, no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience or loss of business arising from interruption of business, repair or restoration of the Building or the Premises.

13.4 Repairs. Landlord’s repair obligations, if any, shall be limited to restoration of improvements which are covered by the insurance policies required to be maintained by Landlord hereunder. Tenant acknowledges that any such repairs or restorations shall be subject to applicable laws and governmental requirements, the requirements of Landlord’s mortgagee (if any), and to delay in the process of adjusting any insurance claim associated therewith; and neither delays resulting from any of the foregoing nor modifications to the Building or to the interior of the Premises occurring by virtue of the application of such requirements shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Landlord as long as Landlord uses reasonable efforts to commence and diligently complete such repairs and restorations in a timely fashion consistent with the pre-existing condition of the applicable improvements.

13.5 End of Term Casualty. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Premises are destroyed or damaged during the last eighteen (18) months of the Lease Term, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, which termination shall be effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord’s receipt of such notice. In addition, if the Premises are destroyed or substantially damaged (which, for purposes of this Section 13.5 shall mean that the repair thereof cannot, in accordance with the term hereof, be completed within sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty) during the last ten (10) months of the Lease Term, and Tenant does not and has not timely exercised any Renewal Option pursuant to Section 1.21 hereof, then Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant, which termination shall be effective on the thirtieth (30th) day after Tenant’s receipt of such notice. In either case, such notice must be delivered within thirty (30) days after such casualty, or such termination rights shall be deemed waived.

13.6 Relocation to Interim Space. If all or part of the Premises is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and neither party elects to exercise its termination right hereunder, then Landlord shall have the option (but not the obligation), to be exercised by delivering written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of such casualty, to relocate Tenant to available space in the Building which is comparable to the Premises (the “Interim Space”) for the period during which the Premises are repaired or restored, provided that (i) Landlord shall pay all reasonable and actual costs associated with the move of Tenant’s moveable fixtures, furniture and equipment into the Interim Space (including without limitation, the removal or installation of any cabling, wiring or media, any hookup or tap fees), out of the Interim Space, (ii) the square footage of the Interim Space shall not be less than ninety percent (90%) of the square footage of the Premises unless Tenant agrees otherwise, (iii) the Interim Space shall be reasonably suitable for the conduct and operation of Tenant’s business as

 

54


reasonably determined by Tenant, and (iv) upon beneficial occupancy of the Interim Space, Tenant shall pay Landlord Rent for the Interim Space as set forth in this Lease, which shall be adjusted to reflect the square footage of the Interim Space; however, in no event shall the Rent for the Interim Space exceed the Rent for the Premises. If Landlord exercises the foregoing option, Tenant shall relocate from the Premises to the Interim Space within sixty (60) days after receipt of Landlord’s written notice; and Tenant shall relocate from the Interim Space to the reconstructed Premises within thirty (30) days after Landlord notifies Tenant that the repair of the Premises has been substantially completed; provided, however, both moves shall occur on a weekend (at no cost to Tenant for any overtime incurred) to minimize disruption to Tenant’s business operations.

ARTICLE 14

MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT;

ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS; REMOVAL OF FIXTURES.

14.1 Floor Load; Changes to Building Systems. Tenant shall not place a load upon the floor of the Premises which exceeds the maximum live load of eighty pounds (80 lbs) per square foot plus twenty pounds (20 lbs) for partitions. Tenant will not install or operate in the Premises any electrical or other equipment requiring any changes, replacements or additions to any base building system, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and if such consent is granted Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of such changes, replacements or additions).

14.2 Emergency Generator. Tenant shall have the right, at no additional charge (except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 14.2), to utilize the capacity of the Project’s emergency generator and associated UPS system (collectively, the “Emergency Generator”) to back up all or a portion of Tenant’s operations. Landlord’s obligation with respect to the Emergency Generator shall be to contract with a third party to properly fuel and maintain the Emergency Generator as per the manufacturer’s standard maintenance guidelines and to enforce the terms of such contract in a commercially reasonable manner. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with operational Emergency Generator or back-up power. During any period of replacement, repair or maintenance of the Emergency Generator when the Emergency Generator is not operational, including any delays thereto due to the inability to obtain parts or replacement equipment, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with an alternative back-up generator or generators or alternative sources of back-up power. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord does not guaranty that such Emergency Generator will be operational at all times or that emergency power will be available to the Premises when needed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such repairs and replacements are performed without delay. Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days following receipt of written demand therefor, a portion of the costs of operating and maintaining such Emergency Generator, which portion shall be computed in accordance with the proportion that (x) the Emergency Generator capacity used by Tenant bears to (y) the Emergency Generator’s total capacity, as such use and capacity is reasonably determined by Landlord’s engineer, which determination shall be conclusive and binding.

 

55


14.3 Alterations. Except as set forth in this Section 14.3, Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any Alterations to the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right from time to time and at any time, without Landlord’s consent (but with reasonable prior notice to Landlord), (I) to perform Alterations that (i) do not exceed individually or in the aggregate in any year $100,000 per 50,000 rentable square feet of the Premises (with the result rounded to the nearest tenth; i.e., with respect to the Original Premises, $350,000), provided that such Alterations are not intentionally scheduled in a manner to circumvent Landlord’s right of consent under this Section 14.3; (ii) do not materially affect the Building/Project’s systems or structure (as reasonably determined by Landlord’s engineer); (iii) are not Specialty Alterations (defined below), which shall be reasonably determined by Landlord during the aforesaid thirty (30) day period (and in connection therewith, Tenant shall provide to Landlord any documentation or information reasonably requested by Landlord to enable Landlord to make such determination); and (iv) are not visible from outside of the Building; and (II) regardless of cost, to: (a) paint and install wall coverings; (b) install and remove office furniture; and (c) install and remove carpeting and other floor coverings. All Alterations, whether requiring Landlord’s consent or not, shall be made at Tenant’s sole expense (and, with respect to structural, mechanical, electrical or plumbing alterations, according to plans and specifications approved in writing by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in compliance with all Applicable Laws, by a licensed contractor approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and in a good and workmanlike manner conforming in quality and design with the Premises existing as of the Commencement Date, shall not diminish the value of the Building or the Premises and shall at once become a part of the realty and shall be surrendered with the Premises (except as provided in Section 14.4, below). Landlord will not charge any supervisory or administrative costs or fees or any other costs or fees of any type in connection with any Alterations; provided, however, if Tenant requests that Landlord manage the construction of any Alteration, Tenant shall pay Landlord a construction supervision fee for all alterations undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant in the amount of two percent (2%) of the hard costs of construction. In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for (x) any reasonably incurred, necessary and actual out-of-pocket review costs payable to third party architects and engineers, and (y) after-hour costs for Landlord’s staff required for Building systems coordination.

14.4 Removal of Specialty Alterations at End of Term. All alterations, improvements and additions (collectively, the “Alterations”), including without limitation trade fixtures, wall-to-wall carpet, blinds, draperies and drapery accessories, to or within the Premises (whether made with or without Landlord’s consent), shall remain upon the Premises and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the Term without disturbance, molestation or injury, unless otherwise specified by Landlord. Should Landlord elect that any Alterations made by Tenant upon the Premises be removed upon the expiration of the Term, Tenant agrees that in the event Tenant fails to remove such Alterations within five (5) days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to cause same to be removed and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for the reasonable and actual cost of (i) such removal, (ii) repairing any damage resulting therefrom or from the installation or use of such Alterations, and (iii) restoring the Premises to substantially the same condition as on the commencement of the Term as initially improved by Landlord, ordinary wear and tear excepted; provided, however, that Tenant shall in no event be required to remove any such

 

56


Alterations other than any raised floors, internal stairwells, vaults, and other similar special use tenant improvements that are not considered customary or typical office improvements (which raised floors, internal stairwells, vaults, and other similar special use tenant improvements that are no considered customary or typical office improvements shall only be required to be removed to the extent Landlord identifies such items in writing as being required to be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease at the time of Landlord’s approval to such Alterations in accordance with Section 14.3 above (“Specialty Alterations”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant be required to remove the Original Premises Tenant Improvements.

14.5 Failure to Remove. All items of Tenant’s personal property that are not removed from the Premises or the Building by Tenant within five (5) days following the termination of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned and become the exclusive property of Landlord upon the expiration of the Lease Term. If the Premises are not surrendered as and when aforesaid, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all claims, losses, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and liabilities resulting from the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the same, including without limitation any claims made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay. Tenant’s obligations under these Sections 14.314.4 and 14.5 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

15.1 Roof Access for Satellite and Antennae Equipment. Subject to (i) the approval of all applicable governmental agencies, and (ii) Tenant’s compliance with Applicable Laws, the provisions of this Article 15 and the other provisions of this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, but without any obligation to pay Landlord any rent, license fees or additional charges of any type with respect thereto, to a pro-rata share of rooftop space in the South Tower (and upon expansion therein, in the North Tower) to install on the roof of the Building, in locations to be reasonably approved by Landlord (collectively, the “Rooftop Equipment Area”): (i) a reasonable amount of satellite dishes to be used by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s business operations in the Premises for the permitted use set forth in Article 3 above (collectively, the “Satellite Equipment”); (ii) a reasonable amount of local antennae to be used by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s business operations in the Premises for the permitted use set forth in Article 3 above (collectively, the Antennae Equipment), and (iii) a reasonable amount of supplemental HVAC equipment to service the Premises (the “Supplemental HVAC Equipment”) (the Satellite Equipment, Antennae Equipment and Supplemental HVAC Equipment collectively referred to as “Rooftop Equipment”). In addition, Tenant shall have the right to install such connection equipment, such as conduits, cables, risers, feeders and materials (collectively, the “Connecting Equipment”) in the shafts, ducts, conduits, chases, utility closets and other facilities of the Building as is reasonably necessary to connect the Rooftop Equipment to Tenant’s other machinery and equipment in the Premises. Subject to Section 15.3 below and all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and subject to all Applicable Laws and such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may reasonably impose from time to time, Tenant shall also have the right of access twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week to the areas where any Rooftop Equipment are located for the purposes of maintaining, repairing, testing and replacing the same. If required by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, the Rooftop Equipment shall be screened with material and in a manner which is aesthetically consistent with the exterior of the Building as reasonably determined by Landlord.

15.2 Installation. The installation of the Rooftop Equipment shall constitute an Alteration and shall be performed in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 14 above, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to obtain Landlord’s prior consent to the size and other specifications of the Rooftop Equipment, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the Rooftop Equipment shall be treated for all purposes of this Lease as if the Rooftop Equipment were Tenant’s personal property. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to void any warranties pertaining to the Building or Project in connection with the installation of the Rooftop Equipment. For the purposes of determining Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective rights and obligations with respect to Tenant’s use of the roof as herein provided, the portions of the Rooftop Equipment Area (and any other portions of the roof) where the Satellite Equipment are actually located shall be deemed to be a portion of Tenant’s Premises to the extent appropriate; consequently, all of the provisions of this Lease respecting Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall apply to the installation, use and maintenance of the such portions of the roof by Tenant (including, without limitation, provisions relating to compliance with requirements as to insurance, indemnity, repairs and maintenance), and all such provisions shall also apply, to the extent appropriate, to the installation, use and maintenance of the Rooftop Equipment. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any changes, improvements or alterations to the Rooftop Equipment Area.

15.3 Tenant’s Covenants. Tenant shall install, use, maintain and repair the Rooftop Equipment so as not to (i) cause damage to the Building or the Building systems or equipment, or (ii) unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Project, or with respect to the installations made prior to the Tenant’s installation of the Rooftop Equipment, with the operation of the permitted use of other tenants, occupants or licensees of the Building or such tenants’, occupants’ and licensees’ systems and equipment located in or on the Building. In addition, Tenant shall (A) be solely responsible for any damage caused as a result of the Rooftop Equipment, (B) promptly pay any tax, license or permit fees charged pursuant to any requirements in connection with the installation, maintenance or use of the Rooftop Equipment and comply with all commercially reasonable safeguards recommended by all governmental authorities, and (C) make necessary repairs, replacements or maintenance of the Rooftop Equipment in order to keep the same in good condition and repair. Further, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain such Rooftop Equipment and install such fencing and other protective equipment on or about the Satellite Equipment and the Antennae Equipment as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims arising solely from Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Article 15 except to the extent such claims result from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties and are not insured or required to be insured by Tenant under this Lease.

 

58


15.4 Landlord’s Obligations. Except as specifically set forth herein, Landlord shall not have any obligations with respect to the Rooftop Equipment or compliance with any requirements relating thereto nor shall Landlord be responsible for any damage that may be caused to the Rooftop Equipment except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Parties. Landlord makes no representation that the Rooftop Equipment will be able to receive or transmit communication signals without interference or disturbance, and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is interference from any other communications equipment located on the roof or anywhere else in the Building which was installed by Landlord or at Landlord’s direction subsequent to Tenant’s installation of the Rooftop Equipment, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relocate such other communications equipment causing the interference.

15.5 Hazardous Materials/Inspections. Tenant shall not use any Hazardous Materials in connection with the Rooftop Equipment other than limited reasonable quantities of Hazardous Materials reasonably necessary and customarily used for the operation of the Rooftop Equipment and used, stored and disposed of by Tenant in accordance with Applicable Laws and customary industry safety standards for such use, storage and disposal. Landlord shall have the right, after providing Tenant with written notice, to conduct such tests and/or inspections of the Rooftop Equipment as Landlord may reasonably determine are reasonably necessary from time to time to ensure that Tenant is complying with the terms of this Article 15, and, if such tests or inspections reveal that Tenant has breached its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall pay for the reasonable cost of such tests.

15.6 Default. If Tenant is in default of this Article 15, then without limiting Landlord’s rights and remedies it may otherwise have under this Lease, Tenant shall, upon written notice from Landlord, have the option either to: (i) discontinue its use of the particular items of the Rooftop Equipment which are non-compliant, remove the same, and make such repairs and restoration as required under Section 15.7 below, or (ii) correct such noncompliance within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord; provided, however, in the event the noncompliance cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be provided such additional time as may be reasonably necessary given the circumstances to cure the default. If Tenant elects the option described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence and Tenant fails to correct such noncompliance within the period described in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, then Tenant shall discontinue its use of the particular items of the Rooftop Equipment which are non-compliant and remove the same.

15.7 Removal at End of Term. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the reasonable control of and direction from Landlord, remove the Rooftop Equipment, repair any damage caused thereby, and restore the roof and other facilities of the Building to their condition existing prior to the installation of the Rooftop Equipment.

ARTICLE 16

ACCESS.

16.1 Landlord’s Access Rights. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon reasonable advance notice of not less than twenty-four (24) hours, except for emergencies (in which event no notice shall be required) during normal business hours to inspect the same; to show the Premises to prospective tenants once Tenant’s

 

59

Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter the Premises at any time in the event of an emergency. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may require Landlord and its agents to be accompanied by a representative of Tenant for security purposes upon Landlord’s entry to the Premises (except in the event of an emergency involving fire or other casualty that pose an actual risk of injury or death to persons). When reasonably necessary, Landlord may temporarily close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators or other facilities without liability to Tenant by reason of such closure, provided in exercising the foregoing rights, Landlord must use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to Tenant, its business operations, provided that the foregoing shall not require Landlord to utilize overtime labor. Tenant shall have the right (except in cases of emergency) to request that Landlord cause its contractors to perform loud or noxious tasks after-hours, provided, however, that Tenant shall pay for the incremental cost of such work performed after-hours and Tenant’s request. Landlord shall keep all areas of the Premises where such work is being performed neat and clean and Landlord shall remove or cause all debris to be removed from the Premises upon the completion of such work. Landlord shall ensure that contractors and subcontractors entering the Premises comply with all Building rules and regulations for contractors. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the number and duration of such entries.

16.2 Failure of Access Due to Tenant. Landlord shall be excused from such of its obligations under this Lease as are directly and materially impacted by the inability of Landlord to access the Premises or any applicable part thereof due to Tenant, if and to the extent the performance of such obligations was in fact hindered, frustrated, or rendered impossible or impracticable due to the effect of such restrictions on access.

Tenant will not sublet the Premises or any part thereof or transfer possession or occupancy thereof to any person, firm or corporation, or transfer or assign this Lease, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall be not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Despite the foregoing, Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment of this Lease or proposed subletting of all or a portion of the Premises shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent on the basis that (i) the proposed assignee’s or, with regard to a sublease of more than 50,000 rentable square feet, the subtenant’s net worth and/or net income is unacceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, or (ii) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a party by whom any suit or action could be defended on the ground of sovereign immunity, (iii) the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s proposed use of the Premises is not in keeping with a first class office building, or (iv) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a tenant or occupant of the Building (provided Landlord has comparable available space in the Project). Except to the extent otherwise specified in this Lease, Tenant shall not encumber the Lease or any interest therein nor grant any franchise, concession, license or permit arrangement with respect to the Premises or any portion thereof. No subletting or assignment hereof shall be effected by operation of law or in any other manner except with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall be granted or withheld in accordance with this Section 18.1. A sale, transfer, assignment or other conveyance of a general partnership interest in Tenant, if Tenant is a partnership or joint venture, or a transfer of more than a fifty percent (50%) stock interest, if Tenant is a corporation, or a transfer of more than a fifty percent (50%) membership interest or a transfer of a Controlling (hereinafter defined) member’s interest, if Tenant is a limited liability company, shall be an assignment for purposes hereof. Tenant shall not modify, extend or amend a sublease previously consented to by Landlord without obtaining Landlord’s consent thereto.

18.2 Permitted Transfers. As used herein, the term “Permitted Transfer” means Tenant’s sublease of all or a portion of the Premises or Tenant’s assignment of any or all of its rights and interest in this Lease: (i) to a successor corporation or other form of business entity resulting from Tenant’s merger, consolidation or non-bankruptcy reorganization, (ii) to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets as an ongoing concern or all or substantially all of Tenant’s business operations in the Premises, or (iii) to an Affiliate (as defined below) of Tenant. In addition, a sale or transfer of the capital stock of Tenant shall be deemed a Permitted Transfer if such sale or transfer occurs in connection with a bona fide financing or capitalization for the benefit of Tenant and there is no change in Control (as defined below) of Tenant. The term “Permitted Transferee” means the assignee of Tenant’s interest in

 

61

Notwithstanding Section 18.1, Tenant shall have the right to make Permitted Transfers, and Landlord shall not have a consent right relating to Permitted Transfers, provided that all of the following conditions (the “Permitted Transfer Requirements”) are satisfied: (A) the Permitted Transferee must have a tangible net worth equal to or greater than the tangible net worth of Tenant on the date of Tenant’s notice to Landlord of the Permitted Transfer in accordance herewith; (B) the use of the Premises must be consistent with the permitted use set forth above; (C) the Permitted Transfer and the use of the Premises by the Permitted Transferee must not violate any of the terms of Landlord’s loan documents relating to the Project; and (D) prior to effectuating any Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall have provided to Landlord all information reasonably required to determine, and Landlord shall have determined, that such transaction is a Permitted Transfer and that the Permitted Transfer Requirements are satisfied (provided, however, that if under Applicable Law or by the terms of the applicable merger, acquisition or similar agreement, Tenant is not permitted to disclose a Permitted Transfer prior to its closing, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of the occurrence of such Permitted Transfer within ten (10) Business Days after it has closed). Except with respect to Permitted Transfers in which disclosure is not permitted (as provided in the parenthetical in clause (D) above), Tenant shall not effectuate any Permitted Transfer until Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that such transaction is a Permitted Transfer and that the Permitted Transfer Requirements are satisfied. Landlord shall notify Tenant as to whether the Permitted Transfer Requirements are satisfied no later than ten (10) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of all of the following: (1) a description of the proposed Permitted Transfer, including an explanation of the reason that Tenant believes that such proposed Permitted Transfer qualifies as a Permitted Transfer; (2) the name and legal composition of the proposed Permitted Transferee, (3) the nature of the business proposed to be carried on in the Premises by the proposed Permitted Transferee; (4) a current balance sheet, income and cash flow statements for the last two years (to the extent available), and such other reasonable financial and other information concerning the proposed Permitted Transferee as Landlord may reasonably request. For purposes of this Lease, an “Affiliate” shall mean any entity, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity that Controls (hereinafter defined) Tenant, that is under the Control of Tenant (through stock or other equity ownership or otherwise), that is under common Control with Tenant, or which results from the merger or consolidation with Tenant or acquires all or substantially all of the assets of or equity interests in Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, the terms “Controlling”, “Control” and “Controls” shall mean the power to directly or indirectly influence the direction, management or policies of Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice as soon as reasonably practical after the effective date of such Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, any assignment or subletting shall (I) be on a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and (II) shall be subject to the terms of this Lease except as otherwise set forth in the form of assignment or subletting.

18.3 Desk Sharing. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Tenant may, without obtaining Landlord’s consent (but subject to compliance with the requirements of this Section 18.3) enter into desk sharing arrangements with its Affiliates, clients and business partners (each, a “Desk Sharing Arrangement”), provided that in all such cases: (a) a monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing at the time of such Desk Sharing Arrangement; (b) such Desk Sharing Arrangement shall be subject and subordinate to the terms of this Lease; (c) such Desk Sharing Arrangement will terminate automatically upon a monetary or material non-monetary Event of default by Tenant; (d) the

 

62


party under the Desk Sharing Arrangement shall use the Premises in conformity with all applicable provisions of this Lease; (e) in no event shall the use of any portion of the Premises by any entity under any Desk Sharing Arrangement create or be deemed to create any right, title or interest in or to the Premises for such entity; (f) the portion(s) of the Premises occupied by such party(ies) and the portion of the Premises occupied by Tenant shall not be, and shall not be required by law to be, separated by demising walls so as to create separate entrances from the elevator landing or public corridors; (g) the aggregate space covered by all Desk Sharing Arrangements shall not be more than ten percent (10%) of the rentable square footage of the Premises, in the aggregate; and (h) no such Desk Sharing Arrangement shall be deemed to release Tenant from any of its obligations and liabilities hereunder.

18.4 Required Information. If Tenant should desire to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises (or any part thereof), Tenant shall give Landlord written notice no later than thirty (30) days in advance of the proposed effective date of such proposed assignment or sublease, which notice shall specify the following information (such information shall be collectively referred to as the “Required Information”): (i) the name, current address and business of the proposed assignee or sublessee, (ii) the amount and location of the space within the Premises proposed to be so subleased, (iii) the proposed effective date and duration of the assignment or subletting, (iv) the proposed rent and other consideration to be paid to Tenant by such assignee or sublessee, and (v) the proposed form of the assignment or sublease. Tenant also shall promptly supply Landlord with financial statements and other information as Landlord may reasonably request to evaluate the proposed assignment or sublease. Landlord shall grant or deny a request for Landlord’s consent (together with an explanation of the reasons for such denial) under Section 18.1 within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s receipt of the Required Information, and Landlord’s failure to respond within such twenty (20) day period shall be deemed Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s request for consent to the proposed assignment or sublease.

18.5 Fees; Documents. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for reasonable and actual third-party legal fees and any other reasonable expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed assignment or subletting in an amount not to exceed twenty five hundred and No/Dollars ($2,500.00) per request. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of all documents executed in connection with any proposed assignment or subletting, which documents shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and which documents, (i) in the case of a permitted assignment, shall require such assignee to assume performance of all terms of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed, and (ii) in the case of permitted subletting, shall require such sublessee to comply with all terms of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed. No acceptance by Landlord of any Base Rent or any other sum of money from any assignee, sublessee or other category of transferee shall be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any assignment, sublease, or transfer.

18.6 No Release. Any attempted assignment or sublease by Tenant in violation of the terms and provisions of this Article 18 shall be void and shall constitute a material breach of this Lease. In the event Landlord consents to any assignment or sublease on one occasion, such consent shall not affect Tenant’s obligation to comply with the provisions of Article 18 of this Lease with respect to any future assignment or sublease.

 

63


18.7 Tenant Liability. In the event of any subletting of all or any portion of the Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, other than to a Permitted Transferee, with or without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall remain primarily liable to Landlord for the payment of the Rent stipulated herein and for the performance of all other covenants and conditions contained herein.

18.8 Profit. Except as it relates to a Permitted Transfer, if any sublease or assignment (whether by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation an assignment pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Law) provides that the subtenant or assignee thereunder is to pay any amount in excess of the rental and other charges due under this Lease, then whether such excess be in the form of an increased monthly or annual rental, a lump sum payment, payment for the sale, transfer or lease of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, furniture and other personal property, or any other form (and if the subleased or assigned space does not constitute the entire Premises, the existence of such excess shall be determined on a pro-rata basis), Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any Profit (as defined below) applicable to the sublease or assignment, which amount shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord (after Tenant has recovered all of Tenant’s expenses) as Additional Rent in no event later than thirty (30) days after actual receipt thereof by Tenant. “Profit” shall be defined as the difference between (i) any and all consideration received by Tenant in the aggregate from any assignment of the Lease and/or subletting of the Premises, and (ii) the sum of (A) the rent and charges due to Landlord from Tenant under the terms of this Lease (and if the subleased or assigned space does not constitute the entire Premises, the rent and charges payable by Tenant shall be determined on a pro-rata basis), (B) Tenant’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and brokerage costs in connection with such assignment or subletting, (C) Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket cost of performing alterations to the Premises in connection with such assignment or subletting, (D) the actual amount of any rent abatement that is granted in connection with such assignment or subletting, (E) the actual amount of any improvement allowance that is paid in connection with such assignment or subletting, and (F) the undepreciated basis of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, furniture and other personal property as determined in accordance with Tenant’s federal tax returns, as applicable, items (A) through (F) collectively referred to as “Transfer Expenses”. Acceptance by Landlord of any payments due under this Section shall not be deemed to constitute approval by Landlord of any sublease or assignment, nor shall such acceptance waive any rights of Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall have the right to inspect and audit Tenant’s books and records relating to any sublease or assignment.

18.9 Certain Rights Subject to Diminution. Except in the event of a Permitted Transfer, upon Tenant entering into one or more subleases, which, taken together with all other subleases entered into by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, demises to the subtenant(s) thereunder more than half of a full floor of the Building for a term of more than thirty-six (36) months (a “Rights Reduction Sublease”) any unexercised Fixed Date Expansion Options shall be null and void and of no further force or effect; provided, that following the execution of a Rights Reduction Sublease, Tenant shall continue to have the Right of First Refusal for any remaining Fixed Date Expansion Space. For the purposes hereof, Tenant shall be deemed to have subleased more than half of a full floor of the Building if the aggregate of all portions of the Premises sublet by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease, whether on the same or multiple floors, exceeds one-half of the rentable square footage of an average floor of the Project, i.e., 15,000 square feet. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, a sublease entered into by Tenant for the Seventh Floor Expansion Space shall be deemed not to be a Rights Reduction Sublease.

65


(D) Cause Landlord to illuminate the South Tower at night in a color selected by Tenant as representing the brand of the initial Tenant named herein (i.e., Appian Corporation) or a Permitted Transferee (“Tenant’s Building Illumination Rights”), subject, however to reasonable prior approval by Landlord of such color and to Landlord’s right to illuminate the South Tower in any other color from time to time for special occasions as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

19.3 Tenant’s Covenants; Damage to Tenant’s Rooftop Branding. All signage rights granted in this Article 19 shall be subject to and conditioned upon Tenant’s obtaining all governmental approvals as required by Applicable Law. The signage rights referenced in Section 19.2(A) and Section 19.2(B) shall contain only the name of the initial Tenant hereunder (i.e., Appian Corporation) or a Permitted Transferee. Tenant shall install all signage at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and in compliance with all Applicable Laws and Landlord’s reasonable requirements as to insurance and manner of installation.

66


(60,000) rentable square feet in the Building (each such other office tenant, a “Signage Rights Tenant”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the conditions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 19.6, if at any time Tenant has exercised Expansion Rights or otherwise leases from Landlord aggregate rentable square footage in the Building of at least four hundred thousand (400,000) rentable square feet, Landlord shall not grant any signage rights in favor of any other office tenant at the Project for signs on the exterior of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that the Premises comprises at least three hundred thousand (300,000) rentable square feet if and when Gannett vacates the Project or otherwise loses its signage rights on the exterior of the Building, Tenant shall have the one-time right to trade Tenant’s exterior Building signage on the North Tower for the Gannett Signage location on the North Tower, which right shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, by written notice of such election delivered no later than ten (10) Business Days following Landlord’s written notice that such signage location is available. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall have the right at all times and from time to time to grant to one or more Signage Rights Tenants the existing signage rights in favor of Gannett in the locations identified and as described on Exhibit B-1.6 attached hereto, as the same may have been modified by the exercise of Tenant’s right to trade a signage location as set forth hereinabove (collectively, the “Gannett Signage”).

19.7 Removal of Existing Advertising. Prior to Tenant’s occupancy, Landlord shall remove (i) the signs advertising signage locations at the Project, and (ii) the large space availability sign, each of which clause (i) and clause (ii) are depicted on Exhibit B-1.7 attached hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right at all times and from time to time to place signage on the exterior of the Building as determined in Landlord’s sole but reasonable discretion to market available space or signage rights at the Building.

ARTICLE 20

LIENS.

Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials ordered or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents, employees, independent contractors, officers, directors, partners, and shareholders harmless from any liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs) for or arising from such liens. Tenant shall cause any such lien imposed to be released of record by payment or posting of the proper bond acceptable to Landlord within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s receipt of a written request by Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s intention to perform work on the Premises which might result in any claim of lien prior to the commencement of such work to enable Landlord to post and record a Notice of Non-responsibility or other notice deemed proper before commencement of any such work. If Tenant fails to remove any lien within the prescribed twenty (20) day period, then Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense and Tenant’s reimbursement to Landlord for such amount, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder.

ARTICLE 21

DEFAULT.

21.1 Tenant’s Default. An “Event of Default” (or “Default”) under this Lease by Tenant shall exist if any of the following occurs (taking into account the expiration of the notice and cure periods provided for below):

21.1.1 If Tenant fails to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum required to be paid hereunder on the date such amount is due and payable and such default continues for a period of three (3) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice that the same is past due. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 21.1.1 hereof, (x) Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant more than two (2) such written notices in any twelve (12) consecutive month period, and (y) upon the third (3rd) such failure in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall be deemed to be in an Event of Default; or

21.1.2 If Tenant fails to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease except those requiring the payment of money to Landlord as set forth in Section 21.1.1 above, and Tenant fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord where such breach could reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period; provided, however, that where such failure could not reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day period, that Tenant shall not be in an Event of Default if it commences such performance promptly after its receipt of Landlord’s written notice and diligently thereafter prosecutes the same to completion; provided that no such grace period to be permitted in the event of any one or more of the following: (i) the Default relates to the maintenance of insurance obligations, (ii) the Default relates to the assignment and subletting provisions, (iii) the Default relates to a violation of Section 4.1 of this Lease, (iv) the Default is of a nature as set forth in Section 21.1.3, in which event the periods set forth therein shall control, or Section 21.1.4, in which event there shall be no applicable cure period; or

21.1.3 If Tenant shall (i) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) acquiesce in a petition in any court in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension or insolvency proceedings, (iii) seek, consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant and of all or substantially all of Tenant’s property, (iv) file a petition seeking an order for relief under the Bankruptcy Code, as now or hereafter amended or supplemented, or by filing any petition under any other present or future federal, state or other statute or law for the same or similar relief, or (v) fail to win the dismissal, discontinuation or vacating of any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding within sixty (60) days after such proceeding is initiated; or

21.1.4 If Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days, provided that it shall not be a Default if, at the time of such abandonment, Tenant is (or has a parent company that is) traded on a public stock exchange, (y) has an investment grade rating from Moody’s, Fitch and/or S&P, and (z) has at least five (5) years of Term remaining under its Lease.

21.2 Remedies. Upon a Default, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or available in equity or otherwise provided in this Lease, any one or more of which Landlord may resort to cumulatively, consecutively, or in the alternative:

 

68


21.2.1 Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges when due.

21.2.2 Landlord may terminate this Lease, or may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, at any time by giving written notice to that effect. Upon the giving of a notice of the termination of this Lease, this Lease (and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder) shall immediately terminate, provided that, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent, and any damages otherwise payable under this Article 21 when due in accordance with the terms of this Section, shall specifically survive such termination and shall not be extinguished thereby. Upon the giving of a notice of the termination of Tenant’s right of possession, all of Tenant’s rights in and to possession of the Premises shall terminate but this Lease shall continue subject to the effect of this Article 21. Upon either such termination in accordance with applicable judicial process, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises in the condition required by Section 22.1, and Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Premises and all the remaining improvements or property and eject Tenant or any of the Tenant’s subtenants, assignees or other person or persons claiming any right under or through Tenant or eject some and not others or eject none. This Lease may also be terminated by a judgment specifically providing for termination. Any termination under this Section shall not release Tenant from the payment of any sum then due Landlord or from any claim for damages or Base Rent, Additional Rent or other sum previously accrued or thereafter accruing against Tenant, all of which shall expressly survive such termination. Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Lease Term. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a constructive or other termination of Tenant’s right to possession or of this Lease, either of which may be effected solely by an express written notice from Landlord to Tenant. On termination, Landlord shall have the right to remove all Tenant’s personal property and store same at Tenant’s cost, and to recover from Tenant as damages:

(A) The worth at the time of award of unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of termination; plus

(B) The worth at the time of award of the amount of the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums due and payable which would have been payable after termination for the balance of the Lease Term and reduced by the then present fair market value of the Premises for the balance of the Lease Term (each amount discounted to present value as set forth in Section 21.2.2(D)) below. For purposes of this calculation, (1) all Additional Rent charges due hereunder shall be calculated on the assumption that they would continue to increase at the average rate of increase of Additional Rent charges in the twenty-four (24) previous months (or during the prior term hereunder if less); and, (2) at Landlord’s election, the “present fair market value of the Premises”, if the Premises are not re-let, shall be deemed to be the

 

69


rentable square footage of the Premises multiplied by the discounted average rental per square foot in the last three new leases (excluding renewals) written for space in the Building (or, if fewer than three leases have been written in the previous twelve (12) months, the most recent lease, or any leases in those twelve (12) months) discounting for brokerage fees, free rent periods, improvement allowances, and similar expenses; plus

(C) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all third-party out of pocket costs incurred on account of Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, any reasonable and actual costs or expenses incurred by Landlord: (i) in retaking possession of the Premises; (ii) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, altering or rehabilitating the Premises or a portion thereof, including such acts for reletting to a new tenant or tenants; (iii) for leasing commissions; or (iv) for any other reasonably costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises. To the extent any of such costs are incurred in connection with a lease transaction having a term in excess of the remaining Term hereof, all of the foregoing costs incurred in connection therewith shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of such new lease, assuming equal monthly installments of principal and interest, at an interest rate of six percent (6%) (the “Discount Rate”), and Tenant’s liability shall be limited to the amortized portion of the same (i.e., the monthly payments as so determined) falling within the Term hereof.

(D) The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in Section 21.2.2(A) is computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate through the date of payment. The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in Section 21.2.2(B) shall be computed by discounting the same to present value using the Discount Rate. In the event Landlord does not exercise its option to accelerate the payment of Base Rent as provided hereinabove, then Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, upon demand, the amount of damages herein provided after the amount of such damages for any month shall have been ascertained; provided, however, that any expenses incurred by Landlord shall be deemed to be a part of the damages for the month in which they were incurred. Separate actions may be maintained each month or at other times by Landlord against Tenant to recover the damages then due, without waiting until the end of the Lease Term to determine the aggregate amount of such damages. In seeking any new tenant for the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to grant any concessions it deems reasonably necessary. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess of any rental obtained by reletting over and above the rental herein reserved. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any Default of Tenant hereunder.

21.3 Right of Re-Entry. Landlord may, with or without terminating this Lease, re-enter the Premises pursuant to judicial process (except in the event of Tenant’s abandonment of the Premises in which event no judicial process shall be required) and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant.

 

70


21.4 Waiver of Certain Rights. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does hereby specifically waive and surrender any and all rights and privileges, so far as is permitted by law, which Tenant and all such persons might otherwise have under any present or future law (1) except as may be otherwise specifically required herein, to the service of any notice to quit or of Landlord’s intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings, which notice may otherwise be required to be given, (2) to redeem the Premises, (3) to re-enter or repossess the Premises, (4) to restore the operation of this Lease, with respect to any dispossession of Tenant by judgment or warrant of any court or judge, or any re-entry by Landlord, or any expiration or termination of this Lease, whether such dispossession, re-entry, expiration or termination shall be by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, (5) to the benefit of any law which exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent or (6) to a trial by jury in any claim, action proceeding or counter-claim arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease.

ARTICLE 22

SUBORDINATION.

22.1 Subordination. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 22.1 and the other terms of this Section 22.1, this Lease shall at all times be and remain subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or underlying lease now or hereafter in force against the Premises (collectively, the “Encumbrances”), and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof. Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord any documentation requested by Landlord in order to confirm the foregoing subordination within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written request. In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall, upon receipt of written request, attorn to the purchaser at any such foreclosure, or to the grantee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and recognize such purchaser or grantee as the Landlord under this Lease. Subject to the terms of an applicable SNDA (defined below), Tenant agrees that no mortgagee or successor to such mortgagee shall be (i) bound by any payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, (ii) liable for damages for any breach, act or omission of any prior landlord (provided that such mortgagee or successor shall be liable for curing any continuing defaults), or (iii) subject to any claim of offset or defenses that Tenant may have against any prior landlord except as otherwise provided in the lease and applicable SNDA. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 22.1, a condition precedent to the subordination of this Lease to any future Encumbrance is that Landlord shall obtain for the benefit of Tenant a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in recordable form (each, a “Future SNDA”) from the mortgagee, beneficiary or ground lessor under such future Encumbrance substantially conforming to Required SNDA (defined below) in all material respects. Tenant hereby acknowledges that as of the date on which Landlord and Tenant execute this Lease there is a deed of trust encumbering, and in force against, the Project in favor of the lender(s) (the “Current Lender”). Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall each sign, notarize and deliver to the other party, and Landlord shall cause the Current Lender to sign, notarize and deliver to Tenant within ten (10) days following Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (the “Required SNDA”; each of the Future SNDA and

 

71


Required SNDA, sometimes, an “SNDA”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord fails to deliver an SNDA to Tenant, Tenant shall not be required to subordinate this Lease to any Encumbrance or interests thereunder and this Lease be superior to said Encumbrance and the mortgagee’s or other beneficiary’s interest thereunder.

ARTICLE 23

SURRENDER OF POSSESSION.

Upon expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall promptly and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord, in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.4 and Section 14.5 of this Lease, in as good condition as when received by Tenant from Landlord, reasonable use and wear and tear and damage by fire, casualty or condemnation excepted.

ARTICLE 24

NON-WAIVER.

No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver be in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any of the terms, covenants, agreements, or conditions of this Lease shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof, or a waiver of any breach of any of the other terms, covenants, agreements, and conditions herein contained. No custom or practice which may occur or develop between the parties in connection with the terms of this Lease shall be construed to waive or lessen Landlord’s right to insist upon strict performance of the terms of this Lease, without a written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any authority to accept the keys of the Premises prior to termination of the Lease, and the delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises. The receipt by Landlord of any payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The failure of Landlord to enforce any of the Rules and Regulations made a part of this Lease, or hereafter adopted, against Tenant or any other tenant in the Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Rules and Regulations.

ARTICLE 25

HOLDOVER.

If Tenant shall, without the written consent of Landlord, hold over after the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance, which tenancy may be terminated as provided by applicable state law. During any holdover tenancy (whether or not consented to by Landlord), unless Landlord has otherwise agreed in writing, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, an occupancy charge equal to, (i) for the first sixty (60) days of such holdover tenancy one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the monthly Rent as was in effect under this Lease for the last month of the Lease Term, and thereafter (ii) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Rent as was in effect under this Lease for the last month of the Lease Term. Such payments shall be made within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Landlord’s written

 

72


demand, and in no event less often than once per month (in advance). In the case of a holdover which has been consented to by Landlord, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall give to Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of any intention to quit the Premises, and Tenant shall be entitled to thirty (30) days prior written notice to quit the Premises, except in the event of non-payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent in advance or the existence of a Default that remains uncured beyond applicable notice and cure periods. Upon expiration of the Lease Term as provided herein, Tenant shall not be entitled to any notice to quit, the usual notice to quit being hereby expressly waived under such circumstances, and Tenant shall surrender the Premises on the last day of the Lease Term as provided in Article 23 above. If the Premises are not surrendered in accordance with the terms of this Lease and a hold-over tenancy by Tenant continues beyond ninety (90) days following the expiration of the Term without Landlord’s express written consent, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and Landlord Parties against any loss, damage or liability including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and including liability to succeeding tenants, resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, whether such damages are general, special, direct, indirect or consequential in nature. This indemnification shall survive termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 26

CONDEMNATION.

26.1 Definitions. The terms “eminent domain”, “condemnation”, and “taken”, and the like in this Article 26 include takings for public or quasi-public use, and sales under threat of condemnation and private purchases in place of condemnation by any authority authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain.

26.2 Taking. If the whole of the Premises is taken, either permanently or temporarily, by eminent domain or condemnation, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date title vests in the condemning authority, and Tenant shall pay all Base Rent, Additional Rent, and other payments up to that date. If any part of the Premises is permanently taken, or if access to the Premises by Tenant is, by virtue of a taking, denied, by eminent domain or condemnation, then Landlord shall have the right (to be exercised by written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice of said taking) to terminate this Lease from the date when possession is taken thereunder pursuant to such proceeding or purchase. In the event fifteen percent (15%) or more of the rentable area of the Premises is taken, then Tenant shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date that the area so taken vests with the condemning authority, to terminate this Lease. Despite the foregoing, in the event Tenant so delivers a termination notice to Landlord, and Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to lease other comparable space in the Building that is located on a floor that is adjacent to the floor upon which the Premises is located to Tenant to replace a portion of the area so taken, such that the rentable area of the remaining portion of the Premises which was not taken, when aggregated with the additional space that Landlord elects to lease to Tenant in the Building, equals at least eighty five percent (85%) of the rentable area of the Premises that existed prior to the taking, then Tenant’s notice of termination shall be deemed automatically rescinded. If this Lease is not terminated, as aforesaid, then Landlord shall within a reasonable time after title vests in the condemning authority, repair and restore, at Landlord’s expense, the portion not taken so as to render same into an architectural whole to the fullest extent reasonably possible, and, if any

 

73


portion of the Premises is taken, thereafter the Base Rent shall be reduced (on a per square foot basis) in proportion to the portion of the Premises taken. If there is a temporary taking involving the Premises or Building, if a taking of other portions of the Building or Common Areas does not deny Tenant access to the Building and Premises, then this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord shall repair and restore, at its own expense, the portion not taken so as to render same into an architectural whole to the fullest extent reasonably possible, and, if any portion of the Premises was taken, thereafter the Base Rent shall be reduced (on a per square foot basis) in proportion to the portion of the Premises taken.

26.3 Award. Except as otherwise specified herein, Landlord reserves all rights to damages to the Premises or arising out of the loss of any leasehold interest in the Premises created hereby, arising in connection with any partial or entire taking by eminent domain or condemnation. Except as referred to in this Section 26.3, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to such damages or award, and Tenant shall make no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages for termination of Tenant’s leasehold interest or for interference with Tenant’s business as a result of such taking. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority compensation for any loss which Tenant may incur for Tenant’s moving expenses, business interruption or taking of Tenant’s personal property (but specifically excluding any leasehold interest in the Building or Premises) under the then Applicable Law provided that Tenant shall not make any claim that will detract from or diminish any award for which Landlord may make a claim.

ARTICLE 27

NOTICES.

All notices and demands which may be required or permitted to be given to either party hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be sent by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by Federal Express or other reputable overnight carrier which provides evidence of receipt, to the addresses set out in the Summary, and to such other person or place as each party may from time to time designate in a notice to the other. Notice shall be deemed given upon the earlier of actual receipt or refusal of delivery.

ARTICLE 28

MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.

28.1 Notice of Default. Tenant agrees to give any mortgagee(s) and/or trust deed holder(s), by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of any failure by Landlord to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the addresses of such mortgagee(s) and/or trust deed holder(s). Tenant further agrees that the mortgagee(s) and/or trust deed holder(s) shall have such time as may be reasonably necessary to cure such failure of not more than thirty (30) days or if such failure cannot reasonably be cured in such thirty (30) day period, then such additional time as is reasonably necessary given the circumstances, but in no event more than an additional thirty (30)

 

74


days, as long as any mortgagee(s) and/or trust deed holder(s) has commenced and is diligently and continuously pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such failure (including, but not limited to, time to take possession and/or commence foreclosure proceedings, if necessary, to affect such cure), during which time Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or make a claim of actual or constructive eviction.

28.2 New Financing. In the event that any trust or mortgage lender providing financing in connection with the Building requires, as a condition of such financing, that modifications to this Lease be obtained, and provided that such modifications (i) are reasonable, (ii) do not adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Premises as herein permitted, (iii) do not materially alter the approved space plan for the Premises, and (iv) do not increase Tenant’s obligations, the rent and other sums required to be paid by Tenant hereunder or decrease Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, then Landlord may submit to Tenant a written amendment to this Lease incorporating such required modifications, and Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord such written amendment (or shall provide Landlord, in writing, with any reasonable comments it may have concerning the proposed amendment) within ten (10) Business Days after the amendment has been submitted to Tenant.

ARTICLE 29

COSTS AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES.

In the event Landlord or Tenant is required or elects to take legal action against the other party to enforce the provisions of this Lease, then the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to collect from the other party its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the legal action (including, without limitation, actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs). No provision of this Lease shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of either Landlord or Tenant by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have drafted, structured or dictated such provision. If either party obtains a judgment against the other relating to this Lease, then the party that obtains such judgment shall be entitled to recover from the other party any enforcement costs, including actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such enforcement efforts.

ARTICLE 30

BROKERS.

30.1 Tenant’s Representation. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that neither it nor its officers or agents nor anyone acting on its behalf has dealt with any real estate broker other than CBRE, Inc. (on behalf of Landlord) or Cushman Wakefield, U.S., Inc. (on behalf of Tenant) in the negotiating or making of this Lease. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents, employees, partners, directors, shareholders and independent contractors harmless from all liabilities, costs, demands, judgments, settlements, claims and losses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in conjunction with any such claim or claims of any other broker or brokers claiming to have interested Tenant in the Building or Premises or claiming to have caused Tenant to enter into this Lease.

 

75


30.2 Landlord’s Representation. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that neither it nor its officers or agents nor anyone acting on its behalf has dealt with any real estate broker other than CBRE, Inc. (on behalf of Landlord) or Cushman Wakefield, U.S., Inc. (on behalf of Tenant) in the negotiating or making of this Lease. Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant, its agents, employees, partners, directors, shareholders and independent contractors harmless from all liabilities, costs, demands, judgments, settlements, claims and losses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by Tenant in conjunction with any such claim or claims of any other broker or brokers claiming to have interested Landlord in Tenant or claiming to have caused Landlord to enter into this Lease. Landlord further agrees to pay the commissions accruing to each identified broker in this Article 30 pursuant to certain outside agreement(s).

ARTICLE 31

LANDLORD’S LIABILITY; TENANT’S RIGHT OF SELF-HELP.

31.1 Landlord’s Liability; Exculpation. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant and all successors and assigns of Tenant covenant and agree that in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord: (a) neither Landlord nor (if Landlord is a limited liability company) any member nor (if Landlord is a partnership) any partner of Landlord nor (if Landlord is a corporation) any shareholder of Landlord shall be personally liable with respect to any claim arising out of or related to this Lease; (b) no partner, member or shareholder of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of Landlord); (c) no service of process shall be made against any partner, member or shareholder of Landlord (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction of Landlord); (d) any judgment granted against any partner, member or shareholder of Landlord may be vacated and set aside at any time as if such judgment had never been granted; and (e) these covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Landlord and also by any partner, member or shareholder of Landlord. No other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other judicial process for the satisfaction of Tenant’s claim. In addition, in no event shall Landlord be in default of this Lease unless Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of the precise nature of the alleged breach by Landlord, and Landlord fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s receipt of such notice (provided that if the alleged breach is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences a cure within such thirty (30) day period and diligently and continuously thereafter prosecutes such cure to completion). If Tenant shall seek the approval or consent by Landlord pursuant to this Lease and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such approval or consent, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for injunctive relief or specific performance with respect thereto.

31.2 Tenant’s Self-Help Rights. In the event that Landlord fails to perform any maintenance or repair obligations of Landlord under this Lease with respect to the Premises (such failure, a “Delayed Repair”), (a) such failure shall continue for a period of twenty-five (25) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant to Landlord (“First Repair Self Help Notice”) or, if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within twenty-five (25) days, then such longer period as may be required for such cure provided that Landlord commences such cure within such twenty-five (25) day period and diligently pursues such cure to completion, and (b) such failure

 

76


shall continue for three (3) Business Days after receipt of an additional written notice from Tenant to Landlord following the expiration of the period described in clause (a) above (“Second Repair Self Help Notice”), and (c) Landlord has not disputed in writing that it has failed to perform any maintenance or repair obligation of Landlord under this Lease (which written dispute shall be in good faith and shall identify in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by Tenant in curing such Delayed Repair (the “Repair Costs”) within thirty (30) days after Landlord has received from Tenant an invoice therefor. If Landlord disputes in good faith that it has failed to perform any maintenance or repair obligation, Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant of such dispute within twenty (20) days of receipt of the First Repair Self Help Notice. Any Repair Costs so reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord may be included in the Operating Expenses payable by Tenant if and to the extent permitted pursuant to Article 8 above. If Landlord shall fail to make any such reimbursement payment within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers a written invoice to Landlord reasonably detailing the costs incurred, and such failure is not cured within five (5) business days after a second (2nd) written notice detailing the same is given to Landlord by Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct the amounts owed by Landlord from the next monthly installment(s) of Base Rent due under this Lease until the sums owed have been fully repaid; provided, however, that in the event there then exists a mortgage on the Building of which Tenant has been provided written notice by Landlord, or with respect to which Tenant shall have executed and delivered an SNDA, Tenant may not deduct amounts greater than twenty percent (20%) of the monthly Base Rent due under this Lease from any single monthly installment of Base Rent, unless an amount equal to more than twenty percent (20%) of the monthly Base Rent due under this Lease remains to be offset for the last month (or months) prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, in which event Tenant may offset for such month (or months) such amount as is necessary for the entire amount to which Tenant is entitled hereunder to be fully offset upon the expiration of the Lease Term. The First Repair Self Help Notice and the Second Repair Self Help Notice each shall include a statement that Tenant intends to exercise this right to self-help and shall identify in reasonable detail the basis for the self-help and the actions Tenant intends to undertake to perform the Delayed Repair. Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant’s right to perform any such self-help pursuant to this Section 31.2 is conditioned upon strict compliance by Tenant with the following requirements: Tenant shall ensure that (i) all such work shall be performed solely by contractors, subcontractors and design consultants, as applicable, who are bonded, licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, qualified and recognized as reputable within their field, (ii) each entity performing such work shall have obtained all insurance covering all persons who will perform such work required by the insurance requirements set forth in Exhibit C-3 hereto, and (iii) all such work shall be performed in a good, workmanlike, first-class and prompt manner, in accordance with rules for contractors set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto, any other reasonable rules for contractors that may be established by Landlord from time to time, and in accordance with all Legal Requirements (including obtaining any required permit) and the requirements of any insurance company insuring the Building or any portion thereof. Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the self-help right provided to Tenant under this Section 31.2 shall not be applicable to any repair or maintenance obligations that affect the Building structure or base building systems or common areas.

Landlord further reserves the right at any time to alter, expand or reduce the parking facilities, to change the means of ingress thereto and egress therefrom, and to impose charges for parking in such facilities provided in no event shall Tenant’s parking rights, including access to the parking facilities or any charges for parking in such facilities amend the rights of Tenant or obligations of Landlord related to parking set forth in this Lease.

Thereafter, Tenant may obtain from the applicable security system vendor as many additional key cards as Tenant requires, at Tenant’s sole expense. All monitoring costs attributable to such system(s), if any, shall constitute Operating Expenses for all purposes hereof.

Further, Tenant shall be solely responsible (irrespective of whether Tenant installs an independent security system within the Premises and may select any type of security device and vendor for the installation thereof) for securing the Premises and Tenant’s business therein, and Landlord shall have no obligation or liability therefor. In the event that Landlord, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion, elects to provide any security measures, such security measures: (i) shall be for protection of the Building only; and (ii) shall not be relied upon by Tenant to protect Tenant, its property, its employees or their property.

ARTICLE 45

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO PURCHASE PROJECT.

45.1 Right of First Offer to Purchase. If during the Term Landlord intends to offer for sale the Project (including by means of a sale directly or indirectly of the partnership interests, membership interests, stock or other equity interests of Landlord or by means of a merger of Landlord) (the “Right of First Offer Property”) to any unaffiliated third party purchaser, Landlord shall first give written notice to Tenant of the purchase price (the “Offer Price”) and other material terms upon which Landlord is willing to sell such Right of First Offer Property (“Landlord’s Offer Notice”). Landlord’s Offer Notice shall set forth the material economic terms and conditions (including, without limitation, a statement regarding whether the Project will be sold free and clear of all deeds of trust, mortgages or other similar instruments affecting the Project) under which Landlord is willing to sell the Right of First Offer Property to Tenant (the “Material Terms”), but shall not constitute an agreement between the parties or an offer to sell such Right of First Offer Property. Tenant shall have the one time right of first offer (“Right of First Offer”) to buy such Right of First Offer Property upon the economic terms and conditions contained in Landlord’s Offer Notice and the terms of this Article 45, provided Tenant, within thirty (30) days (the “Exercise Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s Offer Notice, delivers written notice (the “Purchase Commitment”) to Landlord of Tenant’s desire to pursue the proposed sale transaction described in Landlord’s Offer Notice.

45.2 Excluded Sales. As used in this Article 45, “unaffiliated third-party purchaser” shall specifically exclude a purchaser which (i) is an affiliate of Landlord, (ii) is acquiring the Right of First Offer Property by eminent domain or threat of eminent domain, and (iii) is acquiring the Right of First Offer Property in connection with the enforcement of any Encumbrance (i.e., by foreclosure or exercise of power of sale). As used herein, an “affiliate” of Landlord shall mean an entity (a) which owns a majority of Landlord’s voting equity; (b) which is wholly owned by Landlord (or any of its direct or indirect constituent members) or at least fifty-one percent (51%) of whose voting equity is owned by Landlord (or any of its direct or indirect constituent members); or (c) which is controlled, controlling or under common control with Landlord (control being defined for such purposes as ownership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the equity interests in, and the power to direct the management of, the relevant entity).

45.3 Purchase Agreement. If Tenant timely delivers the Purchase Commitment, then Landlord and Tenant shall work diligently to agree upon, execute and deliver a mutually agreeable purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) as soon as reasonably practical, which shall include the following information: (a) the “Closing Date”; (b) the name and address of the title and escrow company (which shall be designated by Tenant and shall be a reputable national title and escrow company); (c) the effective date of the Purchase Agreement; and (d) any other exhibits and information as may be required in the Purchase Agreement, as mutually and reasonably approved by the parties. Within three (3) Business Days following Tenant’s delivery of the Purchase Agreement, as executed by Tenant, Landlord shall counter-sign the three (3) originals of the Purchase Agreement executed by Tenant and deliver all three (3) executed originals to escrow company for further handling in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 45 to the contrary, if Landlord and Tenant shall have failed to enter into a Purchase Agreement containing terms satisfactory to Landlord

 

87


and Tenant, each acting in their respective sole and absolute judgment, within thirty (30) days following the delivery of a Purchase Commitment, the Right of First Offer shall lapse and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights or obligations under this Article 45, in which case Landlord shall be free to sell the Project on such terms and conditions to such purchasers as Landlord shall determine in its sole and absolute judgment. Tenant hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives any claims or causes of action that Landlord acted in bad faith in discharging the obligations provided for in this Article 45.

45.4 Landlord’s Rights. Time is of the essence with respect to the exercise by Tenant of its rights granted under this Article 45. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord the Purchase Commitment within the Exercise Period, or enter into the Purchase Agreement within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall thereafter have the unconditional right to offer, negotiate and sell the Right of First Offer Property to any party at the same price or at a price not less than ninety-two and one-half percent (92.5%) of the Offer Price and on the same Material Terms within the two hundred seventy (270) day period (the “Sale Period”) following the earlier of (i) Tenant’s written rejection of Landlord’s Offer Notice and (ii) the expiration of the Exercise Period. If Landlord is required to give Tenant a second Landlord’s Offer Notice because (A) the offering price is more than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) less than the Offer Price, (B) there is any change in the Material Terms or (C) Landlord fails to sell the Project during the Sales Period, then Landlord shall be required to deliver a new Landlord’s Offer Notice (including the new price and any change to the Material Terms) to Tenant and Tenant shall have only thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord to indicate its willingness to buy the Right of First Offer Property at on the terms set forth therein.

45.5 Further Conditions Precedent. Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall be subject to the fulfilment of the following additional conditions precedent: (1) Tenant has not assigned the Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, and (2) Tenant shall be current in the payment of Rent and not then be in an Event of Default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease after written notice and beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, on Tenant’s part to observed or performed. Upon the failure of either of the conditions set forth in clause (1) or clause (2) of this Section 45.5, the Right of First Offer shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

TENANT’S F&B RIGHTS

Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that as a material inducement to Tenant to enter into this Lease, Landlord has agreed to make certain modifications to the Project and the amenities therein and to provide Tenant with an opportunity to provide meaningful input throughout the process to create a Project that is well known and acclaimed for its food and beverage. Therefore, Landlord hereby covenants and agrees to the following:

1. Restaurant. Landlord shall proceed in good faith and use reasonable efforts to recruit and execute a lease for a first-class sit down, white table-cloth restaurant to be located in the Project (“Restaurant), subject to all Applicable Laws, including without limitation zoning and county approvals. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in and provide input to, the selection of such Restaurant. Landlord shall provide Tenant with the opportunity to meet with Landlord’s retail consultants and to provide input with regard to all aspects of the selection, including the style and cuisine/menu for the Restaurant. Landlord shall give reasonable consideration to all such Tenant input and preferences in connection therewith, provided, however, that each and every determination of Landlord with regard to the Restaurant shall be final and binding in all respects and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in connection therewith. In the event such a Restaurant fails to open to the public in the Project prior to November 1, 2020 (the “Target Opening Date”), the Base Rent shall be reduced by the amount of $10,000.00 per month commencing with the Base Rent due on November 1, 2020 and continuing until such Restaurant is open to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Target Opening Date shall be extended by one day for each day of delay caused by Tenant Delays (as hereafter defined). For the purposes hereof, the term “Tenant Delays” means any actual delay which is attributable to (i) Tenant’s failure to provide input to Landlord in a timely manner, (ii) Tenant’s repeated failure to be available to attend meetings with Landlord and its consultants, provided, however, that Landlord has given Tenant reasonable advance notice thereof and further provided the meetings are scheduled during normal business hours, or (iii) any other act or neglect of Tenant that materially impedes Landlord’s progress towards causing the Restaurant to be identified, constructed, decorated or opened by the Target Opening Date all as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s sole but reasonable judgment. Landlord shall provide Tenant with two (2) Business Days prior notice of the existence of any fact or circumstance that, if not cured by Tenant, would constitute Tenant Delays together with the steps that Tenant must take to avoid such Tenant Delays.

2. Cafeteria. Throughout the Term of the Lease, and subject to Applicable Laws, the Building will contain an eating facility for use by Tenant, its employees, guests and invitees as well as other tenants or occupants of the Building (the “Cafeteria), which shall be at least as good as the Valo Park Phase 2 Cafeteria Plans dated December 22, 2016 (“Landlord’s Plans). Landlord shall provide Tenant the opportunity to provide input and reasonable approval of the rebranding of the cafeteria. Landlord and Tenant shall work diligently and in good faith to establish a mutually agreed upon plan for the cafeteria to meet the standards set forth in Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall endeavor to achieve final completion of Landlord’s Work related to the Cafeteria on or before May 1, 2019, provided that such date shall be subject to extension for delays caused by Tenant Delays or Force Majeure and provided, further that Landlord shall not be in default of its obligations under this Lease if the Cafeteria is not completed by such date (as may be extended pursuant to this sentence). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord acknowledges that Landlord’s commitment to establishing a “best in class” experience and establishing an eating facility that is “famous for food” was a material inducement to Tenant agreeing to this Lease. Nevertheless, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord must maintain ultimate decision-making rights regarding operations of the Building that have an impact over other tenants or occupants of the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

(a) Landlord shall investigate the costs of using supreme quality, organic ingredients in Cafeteria menu items and shall present a complete analysis of the increased Cafeteria costs involved in using organic ingredients to Tenant for its consideration. Tenant shall have the right to elect to cause

 

Exhibit B-5, Page 1 of 2


Landlord to replace some or all of the Cafeteria menu items with organic ingredients. In the event Tenant elects to replace some or all of the Cafeteria items with organic ingredients, Landlord shall proceed with such replacement as soon as reasonably practical and following Landlord’s inclusion of the organic ingredients selected by Tenant in the Cafeteria menu, Tenant shall pay the actual additional cost therefore.

(b) Landlord and/or Landlord’s property manager shall meet with Tenant on a quarterly basis (or more frequently if requested by Tenant) and Tenant shall have a good faith opportunity to review and provide input on Cafeteria menus on an ongoing basis. Landlord shall provide Tenant with an estimate of the increased costs, if any, associated with any changes to the Cafeteria menu requested by Tenant. In the event Tenant elects to pay the actual increased ingredient costs, Tenant’s requests shall be implemented by Landlord. [In no event shall Tenant be charged any administrative or overhead costs for the review and or implementation of changes to the Cafeteria menu.

(c) Landlord shall ensure that the Cafeteria operator has sufficient technology to support Tenant offering a discount on Cafeteria food to Tenant employees with monthly reports and reporting as reasonably required by Tenant.

(d) Landlord shall not lease any space or otherwise hire a service provider to provide food, beverage or any other amenity service to the Project, (including the Restaurant) or change the executive chef of the Cafeteria without first consulting with Tenant and giving reasonable consideration to any advice or suggestions provided by Tenant. Landlord shall consult with and allow Tenant a good faith opportunity to influence the brand, image, quality and type of service provided so that Tenant can be assured it is of the highest image and quality, provided, however, that Landlord’s determinations as to each of the foregoing matters shall be final and binding and without liability to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date upon which the Premises shall have been expanded to include more than half the rentable square footage of the Project, Landlord shall not enter into any lease with a provider of services or amenities to the Project without first obtaining Tenant’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) In the event Tenant determines, in its good faith judgment, that the executive chef or the vendor operating the Cafeteria is not meeting its standards, Tenant may deliver written notice thereof to Landlord and Landlord shall consult with Tenant and give reasonable consideration to any advice or suggestions provided by Tenant. In the event the quality fails to improve to a level reasonably acceptable to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice that the executive chef or vendor operating the Cafeteria is not meeting its standards, Tenant shall have the right to require Landlord to replace the vendor or executive chef with a vendor or executive chef, as applicable, reasonably acceptable to Tenant provided the Premises shall have been expanded to include more than half the rentable square footage of the Project.

3. Food Trucks. Throughout the Term of the Lease, subject to all Applicable Laws, Landlord shall make space available for up to two (2) food trucks to provide service to the Project within a reasonable distance of the main entrance to the Building, on at least two (2) business days of the week and weather permitting. Landlord shall use diligent and good faith efforts to invite food trucks to provide service to the Project on a rotating basis, and Tenant shall be permitted to invite individual food trucks to service the Project in coordination with Landlord.

(a) In the event that the food trucks require “minimums” or any subsidization, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an analysis of such costs, and subject to Tenant’s approval thereof, Tenant shall be responsible for such costs. Tenant’s agreement to be responsible for such costs is a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligations under Paragraph 3. Additionally, Landlord shall have discretion to discontinue the food truck service should Landlord determine in its reasonable judgment that the food truck service is negatively impacting the Project and its in place amenities; provided, however, that before exercising such discretion, Landlord shall first meet with Tenant to discuss any issues in order to determine if there is a mutually agreeable remedy.

EXHIBIT I

DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET RENTAL VALUE

1. The proceedings for the determination of FMV shall be deemed initiated as set forth in the Lease. Within ten (10) business days of such initiation, Landlord and Tenant shall each designate, by written notice to the other, a commercial real estate broker unaffiliated with the selecting party and willing to act in such determination and having at least ten (10) years’ experience in the leasing or valuation of first class office space in Tysons, Virginia (hereinafter called a “Qualified Appraiser). The notice shall set forth the name and address of the Qualified Appraiser selected by the party. If a party shall fail, neglect or refuse within said ten (10) business day period to designate a Qualified Appraiser within said ten (10) business day period, then the sole designated Qualified Appraiser shall alone conduct the determination of the FMV for the Fixed Date Expansion Space during the Fixed Date Expansion Space Term, Unilateral Expansion Space during the Unilateral Expansion Space Term, Tenanted Space during the Tenanted Space Term, or the Premises during the Renewal Term, as applicable.

2. If two (2) Qualified Appraisers have been designated as aforesaid, such Qualified Appraisers shall appoint an additional Qualified Appraiser (the “Third Qualified Appraiser”) who is willing so to act in such determination, and notice of such designation shall be given to both Landlord and Tenant. If the two (2) Qualified Appraisers do not, within a period of ten (10) business days after the appointment of the latter of them, agree upon and designate a Third Qualified Appraiser willing so to act, either Qualified Appraiser previously designated may request the Commercial Real Estate Brokerage Association of Greater Washington, DC (CREBA)to designate a Third Qualified Appraiser willing so to act and a Third Qualified Appraiser so appointed shall, for all purposes, have the same standing and powers as though the Third Qualified Appraiser had been properly appointed by the Qualified Appraisers first appointed.

3. If any designated Qualified Appraiser for any reason ceases to be such, a replacement Qualified Appraiser to fill such vacancy shall be appointed by Tenant, Landlord, the Qualified Appraisers first appointed or CREBA, as the case may be, whichever made the original appointment, or, if the party which made the original appointment fails to fill such vacancy, upon application of any Qualified Appraiser who continues to act or by Tenant, Landlord or, and any replacement Qualified Appraiser so appointed to fill such vacancy shall have the same standing and powers as though appointed originally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall release a Qualified Appraiser merely for convenience.

4. Landlord’s designated Qualified Appraiser and Tenant’s designated Qualified Appraiser shall each submit to the Third Qualified Appraiser within ten (10) business days after the appointment of the Third Qualified Appraiser a complete statement (the “Fair Market Rent Proposal) setting forth in reasonable detail all of the relevant economic terms of the party’s proposed determination of the FMV and the relevant factors used in

 

Exhibit I, Page 1 of 2


determining the same. The Fair Market Rent Proposals may be accompanied by documentation supporting the Qualified Appraiser’s determination of the FMV. The Third Qualified Appraiser shall deliver a copy of the Fair Market Rent Proposals to the Qualified Appraisers designated by Landlord and Tenant within two (2) business days after receipt of the same. The Third Qualified Appraiser shall examine the Fair Market Rent Proposals and any submitted supporting documentation and select the FMV of the Fixed Date Expansion Space during the Fixed Date Expansion Space Term, Unilateral Expansion Space during the Unilateral Expansion Space Term, Tenanted Space during the Tenanted Space Term, or the Premises during the Renewal Term, as applicable, that the Third Qualified Appraiser believes to most accurately reflect the applicable FMV.

5. The FMV shall take into account all relevant factors as determined by each Qualified Appraiser.

6. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall pay the costs and fees of the Qualified Appraiser chosen by it, and Landlord and Tenant shall share the costs and fees of the Third Qualified Appraiser equally. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall pay the legal fees and expenses of their respective counsel and costs incurred in preparation of its Fair Market Rent Proposal.

7. Any determination of FMV pursuant to this Exhibit I shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE

AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE, AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [                                                 ], 2018, is made by and among APPIAN CORPORATION (“Tenant”), TAMARES 7950 OWNER LLC (“ Landlord”), and [                                                     ] (acting itself or through any of its affiliates or designees, and together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”).

R E C I T A L S

A. Reference is hereby made to that certain parcel of land (the “Land”) described in Exhibit A to this Agreement and the improvements (“Improvements”) on the Land (the Land and the Improvements are collectively referred to as the “Property”).

B. Pursuant to a certain Loan Agreement (as the same may be amended, modified, increased, renewed or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) entered into between Landlord (“Borrower”), as borrower, and Lender, Lender has made to Borrower a loan (as the same may be amended, modified, increased, renewed or restated from time to time, the “Loan”). Borrower has executed and delivered to each Lender one or more promissory notes evidencing the indebtedness incurred by Borrower under the Loan Agreement (as the same may be amended, modified, increased, renewed or restated from time to time, and together with all renewal notes issued in respect thereof, collectively, the “Notes”). Borrower’s obligations under the Notes shall be secured by, among other things, mortgages, deeds of trust or similar security instruments covering, among other property, the Property (as they may have been or may be from time to time renewed, extended, amended or supplemented, the “Mortgages” and, individually, a “Mortgage”).

C. Tenant is the tenant under a certain Lease Agreement dated                  day of

                                     , 2018 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be renewed, extended, amended or supplemented, the “Lease”), between Tenant, as tenant, and Landlord, as landlord, with respect to the Property as more particularly described therein.

D. The term “Landlord” as used in this Agreement means the current Landlord under the Lease or, if the landlord’s interest under the Lease is transferred in any manner, the successors or assigns occupying the position of landlord under the Lease at the time in question.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

Exhibit J, Page 1 of 16


1. Subordination of Lease. The Lease, together with all rights, options, liens and charges created thereby, is and shall be subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and the rights of Lender under the Mortgage and to any and all advancements made thereunder and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, additional advances, further advances and extensions thereof. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to subordinate the Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security document other than the Mortgages securing the borrowed indebtedness of Borrower to Lender.

2. Future Unilateral Subordination of Mortgages. Without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement, Lender may, at its option and without joinder or further consent of Tenant, Landlord, Borrower or anyone else, at any time after the date of this Agreement, subordinate the lien of the Mortgage (or any other lien or security interest held by the Lender which covers or affects the Property) to the Lease by executing an instrument or instruments that are intended for that purpose and that specifies such subordination. If Lender elects to subordinate the lien of the Mortgage to the Lease, Tenant shall execute any commercially reasonable documents reasonably required to evidence such subordination; provided, however, that such documents shall not adversely affect the rights of Tenant in any respect or increase the obligations of Tenant in any respect beyond those contained in the Lease.

3. Rights of Lender after an Event of Default. Provided that the Lease is then in effect, Lender and Tenant hereby agree that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Loan Agreement, provided that Tenant is not then in default in the payment of rent, additional rent or other payments or in the performance of any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed (beyond any notice, cure, and/or grace periods specified in the Lease (any such default being a “Lease Default Event”)):

(a) Lender will not terminate the Lease and shall not disturb or interfere with Tenant’s quiet use, possession and enjoyment of the Property in the exercise of any of its rights under the Mortgage, including any Foreclosure (as hereinafter defined), whether by power of sale or court action or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, in which event Tenant shall attorn to the New Owner (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the terms of Section 4 below;

(b) Lender agrees to be bound by all obligations imposed by the Lease upon Landlord therein (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement), including without limitation, the offset rights set forth in Sections 1.15.7, and 31.2 of the Lease and Section 6.1 of Exhibit C-2 of the Lease and Landlord’s obligation to fund any remaining allowance and/or financial responsibilities of Landlord (including, but not limited to, abatement and conversion rights); and

(c) Lender will not name or join Tenant as a party to any foreclosure or other legal action or proceeding, unless required to complete the Foreclosure, but in any event subject to Section 3(a).

 

Exhibit J, Page 2 of 16


4. Attornment.

(a) Tenant covenants and agrees that if the Mortgage is foreclosed, whether by power of sale or by court action, or if there is a transfer of the Property by conveyance in lieu of foreclosure (a “Foreclosure” and the purchaser at foreclosure or the transferee in lieu of foreclosure, including Lender or an affiliate, nominee or designee of Lender, if it is the purchaser or transferee, is referred to as a “New Owner” and the Property being the “Foreclosed Property”), then in such event, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall recognize any New Owner as Tenant’s new landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any New Owner be:

(i) responsible for the performance of any covenant or obligation of any previous landlord (including Landlord) under the Lease that is either personal to the previous landlord (including Landlord) or otherwise not susceptible to performance by such New Owner (Lender acknowledging that all monetary obligations shall be deemed susceptible to performance);

(ii) liable for any act, omission, default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty, of any previous landlord (including Landlord) or obligations accruing as to the Property prior to New Owner’s actual ownership of the Property, except for any default of a continuing nature that is curable (Lender acknowledging that all monetary obligation shall be deemed curable) and continues after the date New Owner acquires an interest in the Property for which New Owner, as landlord, would be responsible under the Lease as of such date;

(iii) subject to any recoupment, estoppel, defense, claim or counterclaim that Tenant might be entitled to assert against any previous landlord (including Landlord); provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit either (1) Tenant’s right to exercise against New Owner the offset rights set forth in Sections 1.15.7 and 31.2 of the Lease and Section 6.1 of Exhibit C-2 of the Lease or (2) New Owner’s obligation to correct any conditions that are curable (Lender acknowledging that all monetary obligations shall be deemed susceptible of cure) and existed as of the date of attornment and violate New Owner’s obligations as landlord under the Lease;

(iv) bound by any payment of rent, additional rent, supplemental rent or other charges or payments any Tenant may have made to any previous landlord (including Landlord) for more than one (1) month in advance except (1) to the extent such monies actually have been received by New Owner, or (2) such prepayment shall have been expressly approved by New Owner (either before, on, or after the date of attornment);

(v) liable for the return or application of any security deposit or other deposit or security that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord) that has not been transferred to New Owner; or

(vi) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease or any termination or cancellation of the Lease, in each case made, given or done during the term of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, unless such amendment or modification is an exercise of any rights or options expressly granted to Tenant under the Lease (including, without limitation, any right of renewal, expansion, termination, and any first refusal/first offer to lease).

 

Exhibit J, Page 3 of 16


(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) New Owner shall be bound by all obligations imposed by the Lease upon Landlord therein, including without limitation, the offset rights set forth in Sections 1.15.7 and 31.2 of the Lease and Section 6.1 of Exhibit C-2 of the Lease and Landlord’s obligation to fund any remaining allowance and/or financial responsibilities of Landlord (including, but not limited to, abatement and conversion rights), and (ii) New Owner’s obligations and liability under the Lease shall never extend beyond New Owner’s interest in the Property. If Tenant obtains any money judgment against New Owner with respect to the Lease or the relationship between New Owner and Tenant, as landlord and tenant, then Tenant shall look solely to New Owner’s interest in the Property (including proceeds and rental revenue derived therefrom) to collect such judgement and shall not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of New Owner.

(c) The provisions of this Agreement regarding recognition by Tenant shall be self-operative and effective without the necessity of execution of any new lease or other document on the part of any party to this Agreement or the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns of any such party, immediately upon New Owner succeeding to Landlord’s interest in the Property. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the prior written request of Lender or any New Owner or any prospective New Owner, (i) any commercially reasonable instrument or certificate which, in the reasonable judgment of Lender or any New Owner or any prospective New Owner, may be necessary or appropriate in or following any Foreclosure to evidence such recognition, including, if requested, one or more new leases (between New Owner and Tenant) (each a “New Lease”) of the Foreclosed Property on the same terms and conditions as the Lease for the then unexpired term of the Lease, provided that such new lease shall in no way adversely affect the rights of Tenant under the Lease or increase the obligations of Tenant under the Lease and (ii) a Subordination, Non-Disturbance, Recognition and Attornment Agreement with any lender on such Foreclosed Property consistent with the terms hereof and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Tenant.

5. Acknowledgement and Agreement by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a) Tenant shall not prepay any rents or other sums due under the Lease for more than one (1) month in advance of the due date therefor (excluding the advance rent deposit, if any, due upon execution of the Lease), unless Lender consents to such prepayment. Tenant acknowledges that Lender will rely upon this Agreement in providing the Loan to Borrower under the Loan Agreement.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement, in the event of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right, either immediately or after the lapse of time, to terminate the Lease to which it is a party or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant will not exercise any such right (i) until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Lender, which notice Tenant shall send contemporaneously with the notice sent to Landlord; and (ii) until the same period of time as is given to Landlord under the Lease to cure such act or omission shall have elapsed following such giving of notice to Lender (which cure period may be concurrent with the cure period of Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no duty or obligation to cure or remedy any breach or default. It is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not, as to Lender, anticipate or require cure of any such default that is personal to Landlord or otherwise not reasonably susceptible to cure by Lender.

 

Exhibit J, Page 4 of 16


(c) Tenant and Landlord hereby agree that upon receipt of written notice from Lender of the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Tenant shall make all payments of rent and other sums coming due under the Lease from and after the date of such notice directly into an account specified by Lender in such written notice, or such other account or location as Lender may designate in writing to Tenant from time to time with reasonable advance written notice. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay the full amount of its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly into such account without offset, credit or deduction (except as may be expressly permitted under the Lease) until notified otherwise by Lender in writing, notwithstanding any contrary instructions of or demands from Landlord, and Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall receive credit against rent due under the Lease for any such payments made to Lender and waives any claims against Tenant for the amount of any such payments made by Tenant to Lender. Tenant acknowledges that any notice sent pursuant to this Section 5(c) shall satisfy the requirements of notice set forth in the Lease.

(d) Except as provided in Section 45 of the Lease, Tenant has no right or option of any nature whatsoever to purchase any of the Property, or any portion of or any interest in the Property, and, notwithstanding the rights set forth in Section 45 of the Lease, to the extent that Tenant has had (including, without limitation, the rights set forth in Section 45 of the Lease), or hereafter acquires, any such right or option, the same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and is hereby waived and released as against Lender.

(e) This Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement from the Lender.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall it be construed, to abridge or adversely affect any right or remedy of Landlord under the Lease in the event of any default by any Tenant in the payment of rent and/or any other sums due under the Lease or in the performance of any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed.

(g) Except to the extent expressly stated in the Lease, Landlord has not agreed to any abatement of rent or other sums or period of “free rent” for the Property or to pay any tenant improvement allowance or to commence or complete any initial construction of improvements or any expansion or rehabilitation of existing improvements thereon. Tenant agrees that if Lender or any New Owner becomes the owner of the Property and succeeds to the landlord’s interest under the Lease, no agreement for abatement of rent or any other sum not expressly stated in the applicable Lease (or an amendment consented to by Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and no agreement to pay any tenant improvement allowance or to commence or complete any initial construction of improvements or any expansion or rehabilitation of existing improvements not expressly stated in the applicable Lease (or an amendment consented to by Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), shall be binding on Lender or New Owner.

 

Exhibit J, Page 5 of 16

THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO SUBLEASE (this “Third Amendment”) is made as of April 17, 2018 between COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION BOARD, a New York education corporation (“Sublandlord”), and APPIAN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Subtenant”).

WITNESSETH:

RECITALS:

R-1. Pursuant to that certain Sublease dated as of December 9, 2013 (“Original Sublease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Sublease effective as of April 3, 2014 (“First Amendment”), that certain Second Amendment to Sublease dated as of February 11, 2015 (“Second Amendment”), and that certain Amendment No. 1 to Second Amendment to Sublease effective as of August 17, 2015 (“Amendment No. 1 to Second Amendment”) (collectively, the “Original Sublease”) by and between Sublandlord and Subtenant, Sublandlord subleased to Subtenant, and Subtenant subleased from Sublandlord, certain premises containing approximately 74,136 rentable square feet and consisting of the 11th floor, 17th floor, part of the 16th floor and part of the 9th floor (hereinafter the “Subleased Premises”) in the commercial office building (the “Building”) known as Four South of Market, located at 11955 Democracy Drive, Reston, Virginia 20190. The Original Sublease, as amended by this Third Amendment, shall be referred to herein as the “Sublease.”

R-2. Sublandlord and Subtenant desire, at no additional charge or fee to be paid by Subtenant to (i) terminate the Original Sublease prior to the Termination Date as to the portion of the Subleased Premises comprising the 18,672 rentable square feet of space on the 16th floor of the Building as shown on the attached Exhibit A (“16th Floor Sublease Premises”) on the date and upon the terms and conditions contained herein (“16th Floor Early Termination”), and (ii) subsequently terminate the Original Sublease prior to the Termination Date as to the remainder of the Subleased Premises (“Remaining Sublease Premises”) on the date and upon the terms and conditions contained herein (“Remaining Sublease Premises Early Termination”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Incorporation of Recitals, Exhibits, and Defined Terms. The foregoing Recitals and the attached Exhibits are hereby incorporated by reference into this Third Amendment as if fully stated herein. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings given to them in the Sublease, unless specific definitions for such terms are set forth herein.


2. 16th Floor Early Termination.

a. Subtenant agrees to remove personal property from, vacate and surrender possession of the 16th Floor Sublease Premises to Sublandlord in broom clean condition, and in all respects in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Sublease by no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on June 30, 2018 (the “16th Floor Early Termination Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Original Sublease and the Second Amendment, Subtenant shall leave in place and convey ownership of all furniture and furnishings remaining in the 16th Floor Sublease Premises after the 16th Floor Early Termination Date (which shall not include any Aeron chairs) to Sublandlord for a purchase price of One Dollar ($1.00).

b. Provided that Subtenant has surrendered to Sublandlord the 16th Floor Premises as set for in Section 2.a. above, then from and after the 16th Floor Termination Date, the Sublease shall be terminated and cancelled as to the 16th Floor Premises without further agreement between Sublandlord and Subtenant, and Subtenant’s right and estate in the Sublease as relates to the 16th Floor Premises will be wholly extinguished in the same manner as if that were the Termination Date set forth in the Sublease for the 16th Floor Premises; provided, however, that Subtenant shall remain liable for (i) the payment of all Rent and other charges and the performance of all of the terms and provisions of the Sublease as relates to the 16th Floor Premises due and owing or accrued up to and including the 16th Floor Early Termination Date; and (ii) all liabilities and claims incurred by or made against Sublandlord and/or Subtenant in any way connected with, relating to or arising out of the use or occupancy of the 16th Floor Premises by Subtenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Subtenant, up to and including the 16th Floor Early Termination Date.

c. In the event that Subtenant fails to vacate the 16th Floor Premises on or before the 16th Floor Premises Early Termination Date as provided in Section 2.a. above, Subtenant agrees that for each 24 hour period or part thereof thereafter until Subtenant has so surrendered possession of the Remaining Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, upon demand, the sum of two (2) times the Rent payable by Subtenant under the Sublease as relates to the 16th Floor Premises computed on a daily basis, which amount is agreed to be liquidated damages and not a penalty for such default by Subtenant.

3. Remaining Sublease Premises Early Termination.

a. Subtenant agrees to remove personal property from, vacate and surrender possession of the Remaining Sublease Premises to Sublandlord in broom clean condition, and in all respects in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Sublease (including the removal of all signage) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on May 31, 2019 (the “Remaining Sublease Premises Early Termination Date”) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Original Sublease or amendments thereto, unless Sublandlord provides a written request to Subtenant before February 28th 2019 to remove all furniture and furnishings from any of the floors comprising the Remaining Sublease Premises, then upon the surrender of the premise Subtenant shall convey ownership of all furniture and furnishings remaining in the Remaining Sublease Premises (which shall not include any Aeron chairs) to Sublandlord for a purchase price of One Dollar ($1.00). Upon Sublandlord’s request, Subtenant shall within sixty (60) days thereafter, provide a full inventory of all furniture and furnishings located on any of the floors in the Remaining Sublease Premises.


b. Provided that Subtenant has surrendered to Sublandlord the Remaining Sublease Premises as set for in Section 3.a. above, then from and after the Remaining Sublease Premises Early Termination Date, the Sublease shall be terminated and cancelled without further agreement between Sublandlord and Subtenant, and Subtenant’s right and estate in the Sublease will be wholly extinguished in the same manner as if that were the Termination Date set forth in the Sublease; provided, however, that Subtenant shall remain liable for (i) the payment of all Rent and other charges and the performance of all of the terms and provisions of the Sublease as relates to the Remaining Sublease Premises due and owing or accrued up to and including the Remaining Sublease Premises Early Termination Date; and (ii) all liabilities and claims incurred by or made against Sublandlord and/or Subtenant in any way connected with, relating to or arising out of the use or occupancy of the Remaining Sublease Premises by Subtenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Subtenant, up to and including the Remaining Sublease Premises Early Termination Date.

c. In the event that Subtenant fails to vacate any floor of the Remaining Sublease Premises by 5:00 p.m. on May 31, 2019 as provided in Section 3.a. above, Subtenant agrees that for each 24 hour period or part thereof thereafter until Subtenant has so surrendered possession of such floor of the Remaining Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, upon demand, the sum one and one-half (1.5) times the Rent payable by Subtenant under the Sublease as relates to such floor of the Remaining Sublease Premises computed on a daily basis (“Holdover Rent”), which amount is agreed to be liquidated damages and not a penalty for such default by Subtenant; provided, however, that for any floor of the Remaining Sublease Premises that Subtenant has failed to vacate by 5:00 p.m. on June 30, 2019 as provided in Section 3.a. above, the daily Holdover Rent thereafter shall increase to two (2) times the Rent payable by Subtenant under the Sublease as relates to such floor of the Remaining Sublease Premises. In addition to the Holdover Rent, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for any reasonable and actual third party out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Sublandlord resulting Sublandlord having to delay its construction of a floor due to Subtenant’s failure to have vacated such floor by May 31, 2019 (“Delay Costs”). Subtenant may notify Sublandlord of the possibility of Subtenant not being able to vacate a floor by May 31, 2019 along with the date that Subtenant expects to vacate such floor, and Sublandlord shall as soon thereafter as possible (not to exceed thirty (30) days) advise Subtenant of the reasonable estimate of Delay Costs that Subtenant may incur.

4. Order of Precedence. In the event of any inconsistency between this Third Amendment and the Original Sublease or any amendments thereto, the terms of this Third Amendment shall govern and control.

5. Entire Agreement. The Sublease, including this Third Amendment and the Consent to Original Sublease, constitute the entire agreement between the parties concerning the matters set forth herein. Neither Subtenant nor Sublandlord shall be bound by any terms, statements, conditions, or representations, oral or written, express or implied, not contained in the Sublease. No modification of the Sublease shall be binding or valid unless expressed in a writing executed by Sublandlord and Subtenant.

6. Severability; Governing Law. If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Third Amendment shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Third Amendment shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected, impaired, or invalidated. This Third Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.


7. Binding Effect. The terms and provisions of this Third Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns under the Sublease.

8. Counterparts. This Third Amendment may be executed in counterparts or with counterpart signature pages, which together shall be deemed one and the same instrument, and shall be effective upon the exchange of facsimile, pdf or other copies of such counterparts as executed by each party, pending delivery of original counterparts.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Third Amendment as of the Effective Date, as an instrument under seal, as their free act and deed for the uses and purposes set forth herein.
