     THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (the “Second Amendment”) is entered into as of June 10, 2011, by and between MSCP CROSBY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address in care of Divco West Real Estate Services, Inc., 575 Market Street, 35th Floor, San Francisco, California 94105 (“Landlord”), and ACME PACKET, INC., a Delaware corporation, with a current address of 100 Crosby Drive, Bedford, Massachusetts 01703 (“Tenant”).
WITNESSETH:
     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease dated as of November 23, 2009 (the “Original Lease”) whereby Tenant leases from Landlord approximately 123,788 rentable square feet of space in the building (the “Original Premises”) located at 100 Crosby Drive, Bedford, Massachusetts (the “Building”), as further described in the Lease; and
     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of July 12, 2010 (the “First Amendment”) pursuant to which Tenant leases from Landlord an additional approximately 27,161 rentable square feet of floor area in the Building, comprised of approximately 22,337 rentable square feet of floor area located on the first and third floors of the Building (and designated as the “Option Space” in Section 1.1.2 of the Original Lease), as well as approximately 4,824 rentable square feet of floor area located on the ground floor of the Building (collectively, the “Initial Expansion Premises”) (the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment shall be referred to as the “Lease”; and the Original Premises and the Initial Expansion Premises collectively shall be referred to as the “Current Premises”);
     WHEREAS, Tenant desires to lease from Landlord the remaining approximately 111,012 square feet of rentable space in the Building (the “Second Expansion Premises”), all as further set forth herein; and
     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to enlarge the Current Premises to include the Second Expansion Premises, to extend the Term of the Lease, and to make other modifications to the terms and conditions of the Lease, all as set forth herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
     1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise expressly defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.
     2. Lease of Second Expansion Premises. Landlord leases the Second Expansion Premises to Tenant, and Tenant leases the Second Expansion Premises from Landlord, subject to the covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease, except as provided in this Second Amendment. The Term of the lease of the Second Expansion Premises shall commence on the date of “Substantial Completion” of the “New Tenant Improvements” (as such terms are defined in Exhibit B attached hereto), excluding the New Tenant Improvements for the “Early Occupancy Space” (as defined in Section 2.3 of this Second Amendment), or the date Substantial Completion of the New Tenant Improvements, excluding the New Tenant Improvements for the

 


 

Early Occupancy Space, would have occurred but for any Tenant Delays (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto) and Permitted Delays (as defined in Section 11 of this Second Amendment), but not earlier than April 1, 2012; provided, however, that if there are less than one hundred eighty (180) days between the date the Construction Plans (as defined in Exhibit B) for the New Tenant Improvements have been finally approved by Tenant and Landlord and the bidding process described in Section 3.4 of Exhibit B has been completed and April 1, 2012, except to the extent of Landlord Delays (as defined in Exhibit B), then the commencement date of the lease of the Second Expansion Premises shall be April 1, 2012 (whichever date is applicable, the “Second Expansion Commencement Date”). The Term shall thereafter continue for the remainder of the Term of the Lease, as extended and amended by this Second Amendment, unless earlier terminated as provided in the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment. From and after the Second Expansion Commencement Date the Premises shall consist of the Current Premises and the Second Expansion Premises, which collectively contain approximately 261,961 square feet of rentable space, which shall be deemed accurate and not subject to measurement. Any work performed or allowances or concessions provided by Landlord to Tenant in connection with the commencement of the initial Term of the Lease or prior amendment shall not apply to the lease of the Second Expansion Premises.
          2.1. Existing Tenant. A portion of the Second Expansion Premises consisting of approximately 11,784 square feet of rentable space, of which approximately 3,905 square feet of rentable space on the ground floor and approximately 7,878 square feet of the first floor, of the Building (collectively, the “Inteq Space”) is leased to Inteq Corporation pursuant to a separate lease with Landlord (the “Inteq Lease”). The term of the Inteq Lease is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2011. If Inteq Corporation does not vacate the Inteq Space, Landlord shall use its best efforts to regain possession and shall diligently commence and pursue an action to recover possession if necessary to avoid any delay in the commencement of construction of the New Tenant Improvements. Subject to the provisions of Section 11 below, under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable or responsible to Tenant if Inteq Corporation does not vacate the Inteq Space by the expiration of the Inteq Lease.
          2.2. Early Access to the Second Expansion Premises. Tenant may have early access to the Second Expansion Premises after the date this Second Amendment is fully executed by Tenant and Landlord, except for the Inteq Space where Tenant may occupy and use such space early as provided in Section 2.3 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such early access is conditioned upon Tenant not interfering with the construction by Landlord of Landlord’s Work (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto). The period of time prior to the Second Expansion Commencement Date during which Tenant may have early access of the Second Expansion Premises (or portions thereof) is subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord and shall be referred to herein as the “Early Access Period”. Tenant agrees that it shall not interfere in any material respect with the progress of any of Landlord’s Work by such early entry and access. During the Early Access Period, all terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, shall apply except that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent (including, without limitation, the Electric Charge and any utilities for the Second Expansion Premises) during the Early Access Period for the Second Expansion Premises. As a condition to entering the Second Expansion Premises during the Early Access Period, Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates of insurance that Tenant is required to provide Landlord during the Term of the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment.

          2.3. Early Occupancy Space. Tenant has requested and Landlord has agreed that Tenant may occupy and use the Inteq Space after Inteq Corporation vacates and surrenders possession of the Inteq Space pending construction of the New Tenant Improvements in the balance of the Second Expansion Premises. Tenant may occupy and use all of the Inteq Space or just the Inteq Space on the first or second floors as hereinafter provided. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing by July 31, 2011 of the Inteq Space Tenant elects to occupy and use prior to the Second Expansion Commencement Date. The portion of the Inteq Space that Tenant elects to occupy and use early shall be referred to as the “Early Occupancy Space.” Tenant may occupy and use the Early Occupancy Space on the date Landlord delivers possession of the Early Occupancy Space to Tenant. Tenant shall vacate the Early Occupancy Space by the Second Expansion Commencement Date to allow the portion of the New Tenant Improvements to be constructed in the Early Occupancy Space. Landlord will arrange for construction of the portion of the New Tenant Improvements in the Early Occupancy Space after Tenant vacates and removes its furniture, fixtures and property from the Early Occupancy Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Second Amendment, the time it takes to construct the New Tenant Improvements for the Early Occupancy Space shall not delay or postpone the start of the Second Premises Commencement Date and Tenant shall commence the payment of Monthly Base Rent and all Additional Rent for all of the Premises (i.e., the Current Premises and the Second Expansion Premises) in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 4.3 of this Amendment as of the Second Expansion Commencement Date even though the New Tenant Improvements will not be done in the Early Occupancy Space and Tenant will not be able to use or occupy the Early Occupancy Space until Substantial Completion of the New Tenant Improvements in such Early Occupancy Space. Landlord shall notify Tenant when the Inteq Corporation has vacated the Inteq Space and the Inteq Space will be available for occupancy by Tenant.
               The early occupancy and use by Tenant of the Early Occupancy Space shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, and Tenant covenants and agrees to perform such terms and provisions, except that prior to the Second Expansion Commencement Date, Tenant shall not have to pay Monthly Base Rent or Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Early Occupancy Space, except as hereinafter provided. During such early occupancy of the Early Occupancy Space, Tenant shall pay (i) for all utilities used in the Early Occupancy Space, including without limitation, all costs for HVAC after Normal Business Hours and for electricity, and (ii) for janitorial service and repairs and maintenance performed by Landlord to the Early Occupancy Space. If any utilities for the Early Occupancy Space are not separately metered, then Tenant shall pay its pro rata share of the cost of such utility service as reasonably determined by Landlord in good faith and Tenant shall make such payment to Landlord within thirty (30) days after request by Landlord.
          Prior to occupying or using all or any portion of the Early Occupancy Space, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the certificates of insurance required under this Lease. Tenant shall accept possession of the Early Occupancy Space in its current AS IS condition, without the construction or installation by Landlord of any improvements, furnishings or equipment of any kind and without any representation or warranty, expressed or implied by Landlord or any of its agents concerning the condition or suitability of the Early Occupancy Space. Tenant shall not construct any improvements in the Early Occupancy Space, except for the installation of telephone and electrical lines and other minor work, all of which shall be subject to the prior

written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the Lease for the construction of alterations in the Premises.
     3. Term. The Term of the Lease is extended for ten (10) years commencing on April 1, 2012 and expiring on March 31, 2022 (the “New Expiration Date”), subject to Tenant’s right to terminate early as provided in Section 3.1 below. The period of time commencing on April 1, 2012 and expiring on the New Expiration Date may be referred to in this Second Amendment as the “Extended Term.”
          3.1. Early Termination Right. Tenant shall have a one-time right to terminate the Lease (not for any period after the Extended Term if Tenant exercises its option to extend as provided in Section 3.2 below or any period of extension mutually agreed to by the parties) (the “Termination Right”) effective as of March 31, 2020 (the “Early Termination Date”) by providing unconditional and irrevocable written notice of such early termination to Landlord by no later than March 31, 2019 (the “Early Termination Notice”); provided that (i) Tenant pays to Landlord the Early Termination Payment (hereinafter defined) by the later of the date that is thirty (30) days after Landlord notifies Tenant of the amount of the Early Termination Payment or the date Tenant delivers the Early Termination Notice, and (ii) no uncured Default exists as of the date Tenant delivers an Early Termination Notice, or as of the Early Termination Date, provided that Landlord shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to waive in writing the requirement under this clause (ii) in which case the Term shall expire as of the Early Termination Date but Tenant shall remain liable for any uncured Default existing as of the Early Termination Date. The “Early Termination Payment” means the unamortized amount of Leasing Costs (hereinafter defined) and Deferred Rent (as defined in Section 2.7 of the Original Lease) as of the Early Termination Date. The Deferred Rent is amortized without interest as provided in Section 2.7 of the Original Lease. The Leasing Costs shall be amortized over the Extended Term on a monthly straight-line basis, together with interest at eight percent (8%) per annum. The term “Leasing Costs” means all of the following costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with this Second Amendment: (a) “Landlord’s Allowance” (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto) actually funded, applied or credited by Landlord, (b) if paid by Landlord, the amount of the unamortized Expansion Parking Costs (as defined in Section 5.2 below) for the remainder of the Extended Term that is terminated early under this section, and (c) all leasing brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Second Amendment.
          3.2. Options to Extend. Section 1.4.1.1 of the Original Lease is amended to provide that Tenant shall have two options to extend the Extended Term each for a period of five (5) years and the references to the “Extension Term” shall mean each applicable five year extension exercised by Tenant provided Tenant’s Extension Notice is at least twelve (12) months, but no more than fifteen (15) months, prior to the then expiration of the applicable Term. The first Extension Term shall commence, if at all, immediately following the expiration of the Extended Term under this Amendment and the second Extension Term shall commence, if at all, immediately following the expiration of the first Extension Term exercised by Tenant. The annual Base Rent for each Extension Term shall be the Extension Rental Rate (as defined in Section 1.4.1.1 of the Original Lease), except that there shall be no “floor” or minimum Base Rent. Subject to the preceding sentence, the provisions in Section 1.4.1.1 for determining the Extension Rental Rate shall be followed for each Extension Term exercised by Tenant.

          The April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012 period shall be referred to in this Second Amendment as the “Second Expansion Premises Abatement Period” during which time Tenant shall not be required to pay Monthly Base Rent for the Second Expansion Premises, but Tenant shall be required to pay Monthly Base Rent for the Current Premises and all Additional Rent for the Current Premises and the Second Expansion Premises. If the Second Expansion Commencement Date occurs after April 1, 2012, the Second Expansion Premises Abatement Period shall be ninety (90) days from and including the Second Expansion Commencement Date but the schedule for future changes in Monthly Base Rent remains unchanged. By way of example only, if the Second Expansion Commencement Date occurs on April 15, 2012 other than due to any Tenant Delay or Permitted Delays (as hereinafter defined), the Second Expansion Premises Abatement Period would be ninety (90) days from and including April 15, 2012 and the first $0.50 annual per square foot increase in Monthly Base Rent for the Second Expansion Premises would still occur on April 1, 2013, with the subsequent increases occurring in accordance with the scheduled listed above.
          4.4. Base Tax Year. The “Base Tax Year” for the Second Expansion Premises shall be fiscal year 2012 (i.e., July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012). The Base Tax Year for the Current Premises remains unchanged.
          4.5. Base Expense Year. The “Base Expense Year” for the Second Expansion Premises shall be calendar year 2012 (i.e., January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012). The Base Expense Year for the Current Premises remains unchanged.
          4.6. Tenant’s Proportionate Share. As of the Second Premises Commencement Date, the definition of “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” is 100.00%.”
     5. Outline of Premises. The general outline of the Premises in Appendix 1.1A of the First Amendment (which replaced Appendix 1.1A of the Original Lease) is replaced by the outline of the Premises attached hereto as Exhibit A as of the Second Expansion Commencement Date (and any Early Access Period).
     6. Parking Rights. From and after the Second Premises Commencement Date, Section 1.2.1 of the Original Lease, as amended by Section 7 of the First Amendment, is amended to provide that Tenant shall have the right to use in accordance with the terms of Section 1.2.1 of the Original Lease, all of the parking spaces existing in the Parking Lot as of the date of this Second Amendment subject to reservations for handicap parking and parking for emergency vehicles.
          6.1. Parking Lot Expansion. At Tenant’s request, Landlord will expand the existing parking at the Property to include up to one thousand forty-eight (1,048) parking spaces; provided that Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to determine the actual location and the number and design of such additional parking, and Landlord shall use its good faith reasonable efforts to have the location of such additional parking within a reasonably close proximity to the existing parking lot to the extent feasible and practicable. Tenant shall provide at least one year’s prior written notice to Landlord of any request for additional parking. Subject to the preceding sentence, Landlord shall prepare the plans and specifications for such additional parking and the expansion would be done in accordance with such plans and specifications

approved by Landlord and the local governmental authority. Landlord shall be responsible for construction of the improvements in connection therewith, subject to Section 6.2 below. Tenant shall have the right to approve the contractor performing such work and to participate in the negotiation of such contract price with Landlord. Landlord shall not be obligated to proceed to execute any contract for such work or perform such work unless and until Tenant approves of the contractor and cost for such work, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to value engineer the costs thereof wherever reasonable at no additional cost to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.1, if Tenant is not satisfied with the projected costs or scope of such work, or for any other reason or no reason, at any time prior to the earlier of commencement of such work or the date Landlord executes a contract with the contractor, Tenant shall have the right to rescind its request to expand the parking lot by delivering written notice to Landlord and reimbursing Landlord for all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord prior to such rescission, including without limitation costs and expenses for architectural and design services and fees paid to any local governmental authority.
          6.2. Payment by Tenant. If Landlord constructs such additional parking, all actual and reasonable out of pocket hard and soft costs for the expanded parking, access and emergency roads and aisles and any other improvements to the existing parking lot and other areas of the Property in connection therewith (the “Expansion Parking Costs”) shall, at Tenant’s option, be (i) paid by Tenant, or (ii) paid by Landlord and amortized over the then remaining Term of the Lease, excluding any Extension Term unless already exercised by Tenant, with interest at eight percent (8%) per annum, and such amortized Expansion Parking Costs, with interest, shall be added to the Monthly Base Rent and paid by Tenant to Landlord as and when Monthly Base Rent is required under the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment. The parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, within twenty (20) days after request by Landlord but the failure of Landlord to make such request or the failure by Tenant to execute such amendment shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay for such Expansion Parking Costs as provided above.
          6.3. Managed Parking By Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall also have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense from time to time during the Term and whether or not Landlord has expanded the existing parking lot as contemplated above, to manage parking for the Premises pursuant to a valet or managed parking system with a parking operator selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord.
     7. Additional Rent and Different Base Years. From and after the Second Expansion Commencement Date, Section 2.2.2 of the Original Lease is replaced in its entirety as follows:
          “Tenant shall pay Additional Rent in monthly installments, as described below, in an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in Taxes above Taxes in the applicable Base Tax Year for the Current Premises and the applicable Base Tax Year for the Second Expansion Premises and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in Operating Expenses above Operating Expenses in the applicable Base Expense Year for the Current Premises and the applicable Base Expense Year for the Second Expansion Premises. In addition, unless the Premises are separately metered, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent consisting of the Electric Charge as set forth in Section 2.2.3 below.”

     8. Return of LC. The existing Letter of Credit delivered by Tenant to Landlord shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant concurrently with Landlord’s execution of this Second Amendment. Section 2.6 of the Original Lease regarding Tenant’s obligation to provide for the Letter of Credit shall no longer apply.
     9. Condition of the Second Expansion Premises. Landlord agrees to deliver the Second Expansion Premises to Tenant in their present condition (i.e., as of the date of this Second Amendment), subject to the construction of the New Tenant Improvements by Landlord as provided in Exhibit B to this Second Amendment. Landlord shall also promptly commence and diligently complete Landlord’s Additional Work (as defined in Exhibit B) not later than the Second Expansion Commencement Date, subject to any delays caused by Tenant and any delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, but Landlord’s Additional Work is separate and apart from the New Tenant Improvements. Tenant acknowledges that the Second Expansion Premises are being delivered “as is”, except for latent structural defects not readily apparent from a careful inspection of the Premises without cutting into or otherwise disturbing walls, floors or ceilings, without any representations or warranties of any kind (including, without limitation, any express or implied warranties of merchantability, fitness or habitability) from Landlord or any agent of Landlord, except as expressly provided in this Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Second Amendment, the Construction Costs (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto) for the New Tenant Improvements, HVAC Work and Landlord’s Additional Work shall not be part of the Operating Expenses in the Base Expense Year or any other year during the Term, as extended.
     10. Acceptance of Second Expansion Premises. Tenant’s taking possession of the Second Expansion Premises shall be conclusive evidence that the Second Expansion Premises were in good order and satisfactory condition when Tenant took possession, except for items that are Landlord’s responsibility under the provisions of the Lease and any punchlist items reasonably identified by Tenant. Tenant and Landlord shall arrange for a joint walk through inspection of the Second Expansion Premises within thirty (30) days after Substantial Completion of the New Tenant Improvements to identify any punchlist items to Landlord and Landlord shall diligently cure all items identified on such punchlist items. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or this Second Amendment, Landlord shall, within a commercially reasonable period of time, repair and/or correct any “defects” in the New Tenant Improvements of which Tenant has delivered notice to Landlord prior to the expiration of the one (1) year period following the date of Substantial Completion thereof. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, “defects” shall be limited to (i) the defects in the New Tenant Improvements, including for purposes hereof the new HVAC distribution installed in the Second Expansion Premises, covered under the general contractor’s one year warranty from Substantial Completion of the New Tenant Improvements (Landlord shall be responsible to correct such defect if the general contractor fails to perform such work so long as the claim would be covered under such general contractor’s warranty), and (ii) the extent the New Tenant Improvements are substantially similar to or consistent with the tenant improvements installed by Landlord for Tenant in the Current Premises. Landlord agrees to obtain from its general contractor for the New Tenant Improvements a one year warranty substantially similar to or consistent with the one year warranty provided by the contractor in the AIA form A210 — 2007, entitled “General Conditions of the Contract for Construction” unless otherwise approved by Tenant and Landlord. Except as expressly provided in the Lease, no agreement of Landlord to alter, remodel, decorate, clean or improve the Second Expansion Premises or the Property, and no representation

8


 

regarding the condition of the Second Expansion Premises or the Property or the suitability of the Second Expansion Premises for Tenant’s proposed use thereof, have been made by or on behalf of Landlord or relied upon by Tenant. At the time Landlord delivers possession of the Second Expansion Premises to Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall together execute an acceptance acknowledgement in the form attached as Exhibit C, appropriately completed. Landlord’s failure to request such acceptance acknowledgment or the failure or day by Tenant in executing such acceptance acknowledgement shall not delay or postpone the Second Expansion Commencement Date or the Extended Term or Tenant’s obligations to pay any Rent or other charges.
     11. Delay in Possession. If for any reason, other than Tenant Delays, Landlord has not Substantially Completed the New Tenant Improvements in the Second Expansion Premises by the later of (i) April 1, 2012, or (ii) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date the Construction Plans (as defined in Exhibit B) for the New Tenant Improvements have been finally approved by Landlord and the bidding process described in Section 3.4 of Exhibit B has been completed (the “Estimated Completion Date”), except as hereinafter provided, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of the Lease or this Second Amendment, or the obligations of Tenant, or extend the Term hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the delay in Substantial Completion of the New Tenant Improvements in the Second Expansion Premises results from a Tenant Delay, or if the New Tenant Improvements shown on the Construction Plans therefor cannot reasonably be expected to be completed within the later of April 1, 2012 or said one hundred eight (180) day period on account of the materials specified in the Construction Plans being back ordered and/or not otherwise available when needed (and Tenant, after consultation with Landlord, does not wish to substitute other materials(s) for such backordered or unavailable item(s)), or the work specified is not standard office improvements (collectively, “Permitted Delays”, such term, however, shall exclude delays resulting from “Code Compliant Work” to the “Exterior Areas”, as such terms are defined in Exhibit B attached hereto), the Second Expansion Commencement Date shall be April 1, 2012, subject to extension for any Landlord Delay.
          In addition to the above, if Landlord has not Substantially Completed the New Tenant Improvements in the Second Expansion Premises, for reasons other than Tenant Delays, Force Majeure Delays (as defined in Exhibit B) or Permitted Delays, by the date that is sixty (60) days following the later of the Estimated Completion Date or April 1, 2012, Tenant, at Tenant’s option, exercised by written notice to Landlord given no later than ten (10) days after the expiration of such sixty (60) day period (the “Outside Completion Date”), may elect to exercise one of the following remedies as its sole and exclusive remedy for such delay:
                    (i) To notify Landlord that Tenant elects to have an abatement of Monthly Base Rent, for just the Second Expansion Premises but not the Current Premises, of one day of Monthly Base Rent for each day after the Outside Completion Date until Substantial Completion of the New Tenant Improvements occurs with such abatement being applied towards Monthly Base Rent first coming due for the Second Expansion Premises; or
                    (ii) To take over and complete the New Tenant Improvements on its own with the remaining costs therefor (up to a total of the amount of Landlord’s Allowance and to the extent applicable HVAC Allowance for the HVAC Work, as such terms are defined in Exhibit B attached hereto, but less costs already paid by Landlord for the New

9


 

Tenant Improvements or HVAC Work as the case may be) to be reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt by Landlord of an invoice from Tenant for such costs, accompanied by customary documentation supporting the charges for completion of such work, which documentation is of a scope and detail sufficient to satisfy a commercial construction lender operating in the market area in which the Building is located and which shall include copies of paid invoices from Tenant’s contractor, paid invoices for materials, equipment, moving and/or installation charges, and lien waivers. If such option under this paragraph (ii) is chosen, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to accommodate Tenant’s contractor, and as otherwise reasonably necessary for Tenant to complete the New Tenant Improvements. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for such costs (up to the limit set forth herein) within such thirty-day period, Tenant shall have the right to offset unreimbursed costs against Monthly Base Rent for the Second Expansion Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall not be entitled to offset more than 20% of any particular installment of Monthly Base Rent. Except for the remedies specifically set forth in this Section, which are Tenant’s sole remedies for the failure of the New Tenant Improvements to be Substantially Complete by the Estimated Completion Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of the Lease or this Second Amendment, or the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and Tenant waives any right to rescind this Lease or to recover from Landlord any damages, direct or indirect, which may result from the failure of Landlord to timely substantially complete the New Tenant Improvements.
     12. Other Changes.
          12.1. Future Development. Landlord agrees that it will not construct additional buildings for lease or sale on the Property through April 1, 2015.
          12.2. Window Washing. The schedule and specifications for washing of the exterior windows shall be in accordance with Exhibit D attached hereto.
          12.3. Inteq Generator Equipment. Tenant may take over and use the existing generator equipment owned by Inteq Corporation at the Property (“Inteq’s Generator Equipment”) if Inteq Corporation elects to leave Inteq’s Generator Equipment at the Property at the expiration of the term of the Inteq Lease. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable if Inteq Corporation removes or damages all or any part of Inteq’s Generator Equipment. Tenant’s take over and use of Inteq’s Generator Equipment shall be in its AS IS condition without any representation or warranty, whether expressed or implied, by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible for any repairs or maintenance of Inteq’s Generator Equipment or for the failure of such equipment to comply with any applicable Legal Requirements. The use and operation of such equipment by Tenant shall be subject to Section 1.2.2 of the Original Lease, except that (i) Tenant’s obligation with respect to the maintenance and repair of Inteq’s Generator Equipment shall be limited to providing typical maintenance, and Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make major repairs except if required due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, or replace, the same, and in any event upon the expiration or termination of the Lease, Tenant shall leave Inteq’s Generator Equipment in its place in its then condition, provided, however, that if Tenant does make any repairs or discontinues use of the Inteq’s Generator Equipment, Tenant shall at its expense perform all requirements for shutting down and discontinuing the use of the Inteq’s Generator Equipment as required under all applicable law and regulations. Tenant shall not be responsible for any adverse condition caused by the Inteq’s

10


 

General Equipment that may exist as of the expiration of the term of the Inteq Lease or prior to Tenant’s use thereof (such as by way of example only, prior leak of any fuel tank). Landlord shall have no duty or obligation (x) to repair, maintain or replace Inteq’s Generator Equipment, (y) to provide any warranty for repair or replacement, or (z) be responsible for such equipment becoming in disrepair, malfunctioning or failure of Inteq’s Generator Equipment notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.2.2 of the Lease or elsewhere in the Lease or this Second Amendment.
          12.4. HVAC Specifications and After Business Hour Charge.
               12.4.1. Section 4.1.3 of the Original Lease is amended so that Landlord shall furnish heating and cooling to provide a space temperature and ventilation for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises under normal business operation, as described on Exhibit E, Monday through Friday, inclusive, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., holidays excepted.
               12.4.2. The Building is commonly referred to having east and west towers although both towers are part of one Building. The east tower has the Current Premises and the west tower has the Second Expansion Premises. Section 4.1.2 of the Original Lease is amended to provide that the current $65.00 per hour per floor charge for HVAC use outside Normal Business Hours shall be $65.00 per hour per floor in each tower at the Building. By way of example only, if HVAC usage after Normal Business Hours is required on the second floor of the Building, the after hour charge would be $65.00 per hour for the east tower plus $65.00 per hour for the west tower. Such charge shall be prorated for partial hours and is subject to change at any time during the Term, as extended by this Second Amendment, from and after the date this Second Amendment is fully executed by the parties, but any increase for such after hour charge shall be consistent with charges for after hour HVAC usage by other institutional owners of comparable class property in the Bedford/Burlington Route 128 North Market Area.
          12.5. Chilled Water. Section 4.1.3 of the Original Lease is replaced in its entirety to provide as follows:
“In addition to the eighty (80) tons of existing supplemental HVAC service to the Current Premises, Tenant shall have the right to connect to the chilled water system and cooling tower and pumps (the “Base Building System”) for up to sixty (60) tons of chilled water for Tenant’s twenty—four (24) hour per day supplemental HVAC use in the Current Premises. Tenant may also have additional tonnage of chilled water for Tenant’s twenty—four (24) hour per day supplemental HVAC use for the Second Expansion Premises to the extent such additional tonnage is available and does not impair, compromise or adversely affect the capacity of the Base Building System to service the Building in accordance with the requirements of the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, without further modification, alteration, improvement or expansion of or increase to the Base Building System, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to elect to take back all or any part of the additional tonnage of chilled water made available to Tenant under the prior sentence if Landlord reasonably determines such to be necessary for providing HVAC service to the Building as required under the Lease, as amended by this

11


 

Second Amendment. Tenant shall be responsible for any and all costs (including equipment) associated with Tenant’s connection to Landlord’s Base Building System (and all such work shall be approved by Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment). Tenant shall pay its share of utility costs associated with its use of the Base Building System. Such costs shall be calculated by Landlord by multiplying the total utility costs for the use of such Base Building System for the Building by a fraction the numerator of which is the tonnage of Tenant’s supplemental HVAC connected to the Base Building System and the denominator of which is five hundred (500) tons, or one thousand (1,000) tons if the second five hundred (500) tons of existing equipment is used for this purpose. Tenant shall pay such utility costs to Landlord monthly, with Tenant’s payment of rent hereunder based on an invoice received from Landlord. Tenant shall also be responsible for payment of all utility costs to operate its supplemental HVAC that is not connected to the Base Building System.”
          12.6. Vendors Check In and Minimum Hours. All employees, representative and agents of Landlord and its property manager, and all service contractors and vendors engaged by Landlord to perform any service inspection or work in the Premises shall sign in at Tenant’s front desk to the main entrance to the Premises, except in an emergency. Service calls shall not be subject to a four hour minimum charge.
          12.7. Exclusive Use Rights. Section 1.1.1 of the Original Lease is amended so that Tenant shall have exclusive use, without any cost to Tenant, of all amenities in the Building, including the existing cafeteria, fitness center and auditorium in the Building and Common Areas in the Building and elsewhere on the Property, subject (a) to Landlord’s reserved rights to the Reserved Areas and Facilities as provided and defined in Section 1.5 of the Original Lease; provided, however, Landlord shall not relocate any entranceways to the Building or any Common Areas within the Building or lease, license or permit the use of any Common Areas by any party other than Tenant or any party claiming through Tenant, and (b) to any further development of the Property by Landlord after April 1, 2015 when Tenant’s use of such exterior Common Areas shall be non-exclusive, but Tenant’s use of such amenities and Common Areas in the Building, the outdoor patio adjacent to the Building (i.e., the patio being installed as part of Landlord’s Additional Work under Section 9 of Exhibit B-1), the Backup Power System and Inteq’s Generator Equipment shall still be for Tenant’s exclusive use.
          12.8. Property Management. The Property is currently managed by Divco West Real Estate Services, Inc. (“Divco”). Tenant shall have the right from time to time after not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice to Landlord to have Landlord engage a different third party property management company to provide property management services, subject to the following conditions and requirements:
               12.8.1. Landlord will propose the name of up to three (3) replacement property management companies and Tenant may elect upon notice to Landlord to have anyone of such proposed replacement property management companies become the new property manager. The replacement property management company must be an independent qualified and reputable third party property management company with experience in managing large office buildings comparable to the Building. The new property management company shall be

12


 

referred to herein as the “New Property Management Company.” The New Property Management Company and Landlord will enter into a customary, market property management agreement on terms and conditions and for fees and compensation approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, but such fees and compensation shall be in accordance with the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment. The terms of such property management agreement will be consistent with Landlord’s responsibilities under the Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment. Tenant may arrange for supplemental services from the New Property Management Company at Tenant’s sole expense.
               12.8.2. The New Property Management Company must maintain such insurance as is customarily required by institutional landlords of similar buildings and name Landlord and its designees as additional insured on all liability policies.
               12.8.3. The maximum combined management fee payable to the New Property Management Company and Divco shall not exceed the amount provided in the Lease, unless permitted by Tenant. All such fees shall be included in Operating Expenses.
               12.8.4. The third party property management may be terminated by Landlord or a successor Landlord upon any sale or transfer of the Property to an unaffiliated third party and a new property management company may be selected by such successor Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to have such successor Landlord replace such newly designated property management company after one year following the date of such sale to a successor Landlord with such replacement to be done in accordance with this Section 12.8 and all subsections thereof.
          12.9. One-Time Right to Notice of Intent to Market. If Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to market the Property, but not with any other property as part of a portfolio sale including the Property and other property, for sale at any time during the Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of such election and the contact information of Landlord’s broker (“Marketing Notice”), provided Tenant is leasing all of the Premises (i.e., the Current Premises and the Second Expansion Premises) and is not in default of the Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure periods, as amended by this Second Amendment. Tenant’s right to the Marketing Notice shall only apply if Landlord elects to market, list or consider proposals for the sale of the Property other than as part of a portfolio sale with other properties. The right to the Marketing Notice will not be applicable if (i) Landlord elects in its sole and absolute discretion to sell or market the Property as part of a portfolio sale with any other property or properties, (ii) the Property will be conveyed by any trustee sale, foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, or (iii) the Property will be transferred to an affiliate. If Landlord sells or otherwise transfers the Property to another party (whether as part of a package with any other property, or as a single asset), then Tenant’s right to a Marketing Notice under this Section shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this right to a Marketing Notice is subject and subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter placed on the Property and that any lender will not be obligated to agree to recognize such right in the event of a foreclosure, trustee’s sale or deed in lieu thereof or in connection with providing any subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreement. Landlord’s agreement to provide a Marketing Notice to Tenant as provided above shall not require or impose any obligation on Tenant or Landlord to negotiate or enter into any

13


 

agreement for any sale or other disposition of the Property. For purposes of this Section 12.9, the term “Property” shall include a controlling interest therein.
          12.10. Inspection. At its expense, Tenant shall be allowed to have an independent engineer to perform an inspection on all life safety, HVAC and electrical systems in the Building and Tenant shall have the right to use the results of such inspections for purposes of indentifying additional HVAC Work (consistent with the HVAC specifications in Exhibit E) or otherwise confirming Landlord’s proper completion of Landlord’s Work, and Landlord reserves the right to engage consultants to verify such work required to be done by Landlord.
          12.11. Certain Representations and Warranties of Landlord. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that:
               12.11.1. No joinder or approval of another person (including, without limitation, any lender or ground lessor) is required with respect to Landlord’s right and authority to enter into this Amendment.

Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval to the proposed construction plans. The failure of Landlord to provide such written notice within said ten (10) day period shall be a Landlord Delay to the extent such Landlord Delay(s) result in there being less than one hundred eighty (180) days between the date the Construction Plans are approved by Landlord and Tenant and the bidding process under Section described in Section 3.4 below has been completed and April 1, 2012.
          3.3 Tenant’s Design Consultant.

Subject to Section 5.1 below, Tenant shall pay for the cost of such construction manager or contractor but the cost for such services which are reimbursed by Landlord shall be part of the Construction Costs for the New Tenant Improvements. Tenant may use Landlord’s Allowance for payment of such costs.
          3.4 Approval of the Construction Budget.

Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to achieve costs savings by value engineering wherever reasonable, but any additional time incurred in connection therewith shall not constitute part of Landlord’s twenty-five day period to perform and present competitive bids. After receipt of all bids, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree to accept one of such bids (both parties acknowledging and agreeing that they will consider factors, other than price, in choosing the contractor to perform the New Tenant Improvements and HVAC Work, such that the low bidder will not automatically be the chosen contractor). Tenant shall provide its approval or disapproval of any bid and contractor within fifteen (15) days after request by Landlord. Landlord shall prepare the Construction Budget for the Construction Costs for the New Tenant Improvements and HVAC Work from the contractor and bids selected as provided above. The Construction Budget shall outline the general categories of costs for the New Tenant Improvements and the HVAC Work.
