(the “Company”) entered into a Consent to Assignment and Fifth Amendment to Lease (the “Consent and Fifth Amendment”) with 1265 Main Office Subsidiary LLC (the “Landlord”) and Clarks Americas, Inc. (the “Original Tenant”), which amended the lease dated by and between the Landlord and Original Tenant dated as of April 30, 2015 (as amended by the First Amendment to Lease dated as of July 11, 2016, the Second Amendment to Lease dated as of January 17, 2017, the Third Amendment to Lease dated as of May 21, 2020, the Fourth Amendment to Lease dated as of January 28, 2021 and the Consent and Fifth Amendment, the “Lease”) for the office building located at 60 Tower Road, Waltham, Massachusetts (the “Premises”). Also on December 17, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with the Original Tenant (the “Assignment Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company assumed the Original Tenant’s interest in and obligations under the Lease, effective April 1, 2022. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed in the Consent and Fifth Amendment.
The Lease is for the entire rentable area of the Premises, which constitutes 120,681 square feet. The Company intends to use the Premises as its new global headquarters. Pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, the Company’s assumption of the Original Tenant’s interest in and obligations under the Lease and the Premises shall be effective as of April 1, 2022 and will continue until September 30, 2031 (the “Term”).

If Overlandlord determines to establish a condominium, then the Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all of the documents creating and governing the condominium (the “Condominium Documents”) so long as such Condominium Documents do not have a Tenant Adverse Impact. The Condominium Documents shall contain customary non‑disturbance provisions in favor of Tenant. To the extent that under the Condominium Documents it is the obligation of the condominium association or board, as applicable, and not of the unit owner to maintain any portion of the Building or the Property, to provide restoration in case of fire, casualty or taking or to provide any insurance for, or services to, the Building or the Property, then notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, the Landlord’s sole obligation with respect thereto shall be to enforce its rights under the Condominium Documents to obligate the condominium association to provide such insurance or services or to perform such maintenance or restoration.
(b) Landlord, Overlandlord and/or Master Developer (as defined in the Declaration) shall have the right (but not the obligation) at any time during the Lease Term upon prior written notice to Tenant to (i) amend and restate the Declaration (the “A&R Declaration”) whether in connection with the establishment of a condominium or otherwise, and (ii) so long as the fee simple title to the Building and the Property or the condominium unit containing the Building and the appurtenant rights to use the Property (the “Office Condo Unit”) is conveyed to

ACTIVE/112977395.9
Landlord, terminate the Overlease and the Overlease SNDA. The Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any such A&R Declaration so long as such A&R Declaration does not have a Tenant Adverse Impact. From and after the date that the A&R Declaration is executed and recorded with the Registry, (w) the A&R Declaration will apply to and govern only the Phase 1 Site (as defined in the A&R Declaration) and not the remainder of the Master Site, (x) all references in the Lease to the Declaration shall mean and refer to the A&R Declaration, as the same may be amended from time to time subject to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease, (y) all references in the Lease to the Common Elements shall mean and refer to both the general common elements established under the Condominium Documents and the Common Infrastructure described in the A&R Declaration, and (z) the Declaration Common Expenses in the Lease shall mean and refer to both the Common Expenses allocated to the Office Condo Unit pursuant to the A&R Declaration and the common expenses assessed to the Office Condo Unit under the Condominium Documents, provided, however, that the allocation of expenses to the Office Condo Unit pursuant the A&R Declaration and the Condominium Documents, respectively, shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the allocation of such expenses permitted under the Declaration but for the execution and recording of the A&R Declaration and Condominium Documents.
“(A) “Building Signage” means one (1) identification sign with Tenant’s name and logo on the exterior façade of the Building facing US‑95, in the approximate area and dimensions shown on Exhibit K‑1.”

(ii) All references to “Original Tenant” set forth in Article XVII shall mean and refer to the Original Tenant defined in the amended and restated Section 17.1(J) set forth in this Fifth Amendment.
“Permitted Use: General offices and, on an accessory basis, storage and, in an area not to exceed 35,000 rentable square feet, light manufacturing in connection with Tenant’s business, together with other lawful uses ancillary to Tenant’s business operations as may from time to time be permitted under the Zoning By Law of the City of Waltham (as hereinafter defined) and consistent with the types of uses generally found in first class office buildings in the Route 128 West, Class A Market (the “Market Area”). In no event shall Tenant use the Premises, the Building or any portion of the Property for any retail use.”

Letter of Credit Terms and Conditions
The Letter of Credit shall (i) be issued by and drawn on a bank reasonably approved by Landlord and at a minimum having a long term issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service of A or a comparable rating from Moody’s Professional Rating Service, (ii) be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or such other form reasonably approved by Landlord, (iii) permit one or more draws thereunder to be made accompanied only by certification by Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent that pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Landlord is entitled to draw upon such Letter of Credit, (iv) permit transfers at any time without charge, (v) permit presentment in Boston, Massachusetts and (vi) provide that any notices to Landlord be sent to the notice address provided for Landlord in the Lease. If the credit rating for the issuer of such Letter of Credit falls below the standard set forth in (i) above or if the financial condition of such issuer changes in any other material adverse way or if any trustee, receiver or liquidator shall be appointed for the issuer, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant provide a substitute letter of credit that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Exhibit A, and Tenant’s failure to provide the same within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor shall entitle Landlord to immediately draw upon the Letter of Credit. Any such Letter of Credit shall be for a term of two (2) years (or for one (1) year if the issuer thereof regularly and customarily only issues letters of credit for a maximum term of one (1) year) and shall in either case provide for automatic renewals through the date which is ninety (90) days subsequent to the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term (as the same may be extended) or if the issuer will not grant automatic renewals, the Letter of Credit shall be renewed by Tenant each year and each such renewal shall be delivered to and received by Landlord not later than thirty (30) days before the expiration of the then current Letter of Credit (herein called a “Renewal Presentation Date”). In the event of a failure to so deliver any such renewal Letter of Credit on or before the applicable Renewal Presentation Date (including, without limitation, in the event of a notice of non-renewal from the issuer), Landlord shall be entitled to present the then existing Letter of Credit for payment and to receive the proceeds thereof, which proceeds shall be held as Tenant’s security deposit, subject to the terms of this Exhibit A. 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 regard to the security deposit. Upon the occurrence of any default of Tenant, Landlord shall have the right from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to draw on all or any portion of such deposit held as a Letter of Credit and to apply the proceeds of such Letter of Credit or any cash held as such deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages arising from such default on the part of Tenant under the terms of the Lease. If Landlord so applies all or any portion of such deposit, Tenant shall within seven (7) days after notice from Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore such deposit to the full amount stated in Section 8 of this Fifth Amendment. While Landlord holds any cash deposit Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the lessor in a ground lease on property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder or ground lessor.
Tenant not then being in default and having performed all of its obligations under this Lease, including the payment of all outstanding Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, Landlord shall return the deposit, or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit A, to Tenant on the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term (as the same may have been extended) and surrender possession of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord in the condition required in the Lease at such time.

Premises
2.1 Demise and Lease of Premises
Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires and accepts from Landlord, the Premises in the Building together with the appurtenant rights expressly set forth in and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. The Premises exclude the exterior walls and exterior windows (except the inner surfaces thereof), floor slabs, load bearing elements, foundations, columns and other structural elements of the Building, the roof and roof membrane, the exterior areas of the Property (except to the extent subject to Tenant’s right to exclusive and non-exclusive use thereof as expressly set forth herein), the Common Areas of the Property (as defined in Section 2.2) and the Common Elements (as defined in the Declaration) of the Complex. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord expressly reserves the right to access and use, as reasonably necessary for Landlord to perform Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and to preserve Landlord’s interest in and to the Building, the roof, loading areas, fan rooms, janitorial, electrical, telephone and telecommunications closets, elevators, stairways, conduits, risers, shafts, plenum spaces and mechanical rooms, electric and telephone closets, janitor closets, and pipes, ducts, shafts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures in and serving the Building and the Building systems. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord expressly reserves the right to obtain, grant, enter into and execute any easements, restrictions, covenants, conditions, licenses, permits, approvals, declarations and other agreements affecting the Property which are reasonably necessary in connection with the permitting and development of the Property and the Complex, including the Additional Improvements (as hereinafter defined) and/or in connection with obtaining the Complex Approvals.
This Lease is subject and subordinate to the Declaration, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such Declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except (x) as required to comply with applicable Legal Requirements or Landlord’s express obligations under this Lease, and/or (y) with respect to standard utility and access easements, so long as this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been terminated and Tenant satisfies the Leasing Threshold, Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall not be subject or subordinate to any amendments or modifications to or replacements of the Declaration entered into by Landlord after the Execution Date which would or is likely to have a Tenant Adverse Impact (as hereinafter defined), unless Tenant has consented to any such amendment, modification or replacement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a direct conflict between the terms and conditions of this Lease and the provisions of the Declaration, the provisions of this Lease shall control with respect to the Property.
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Building, parking facilities and other site improvements will be constructed by Landlord as part of Landlord’s Work pursuant to the terms and conditions of Exhibit B. Overlandlord and/or Master Developer (as defined in the Declaration) has the right (but not the obligation) at any time during the Lease Term to construct additional buildings and other improvements at the
7
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Complex (the “Additional Improvements”) in one or more additional phases of developing the Complex pursuant to the applicable permits and approvals for the Complex (the “Complex Approvals”) and, in connection therewith, to alter, reconfigure, relocate or terminate existing ingress and egress routes to the Property and the Complex so long as, in the exercise of such rights affecting the Property, there is no Tenant Adverse Impact. As a material inducement to Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant acknowledges and expressly agrees that Landlord, Overlandlord and/or other third parties shall have the right (but without any obligation so to do) to complete and construct the Additional Improvements, such ongoing construction may result in noise, dust, vibrations and other construction related disturbances and the construction of the Additional Improvements pursuant to the Complex Approvals during the Lease Term and while Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises shall not be considered an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises and shall not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to an abatement of any Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent payable hereunder. Tenant has entered into this Lease and agreed to perform the obligations of Tenant hereunder with knowledge of the on-going performance of the Additional Improvements. If and to the extent the Additional Improvements are being performed on the Property, Landlord shall, in its conduct of construction activities at the Property and performance of the Additional Improvements, exercise commercially reasonable efforts (in light of the construction activities being performed) to minimize unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises pursuant to this Lease and to implement reasonable construction measures and procedures to mitigate dust and noise to the extent commercially feasible provided that such efforts and measures shall not require Landlord to perform the Additional Improvements outside of normal building hours or at material additional cost to Landlord. Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall be deemed to limit or postpone Tenant’s express rights under Section 7.7 of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except (x) as required to comply with applicable Legal Requirements or Landlord’s express obligations under this Lease, (y) with respect to standard utility and access easements, including standard utility installations, and/or (z) in connection with Landlord’s construction obligations in connection with Tenant’s exercise of its rights under Article XVIII, so long as this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been terminated and Tenant satisfies the Leasing Threshold, Landlord shall not (i) perform any alterations or improvements to or installations on the exterior facade or entrances to the Building or expand the area of the Building which would or would reasonably be anticipated to have a Tenant Adverse Impact, or (ii) perform any alterations, installations or improvements to the Property or grant or enter into any easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, licenses, declarations and other similar agreements affecting the Property or any amendments or modifications to any such existing agreements which would or would reasonably be anticipated to have a Tenant Adverse Impact; in any event, without first obtaining Tenant’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
For purposes of this Lease, in order for an alteration, installation, improvement, easement, covenant, condition, restriction, license, declaration or an amendment, modification or replacement of the Declaration to have a “Tenant Adverse Impact” it would or would reasonably be anticipated to (i) increase the Taxes payable by Tenant
8
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
under the Lease by more than a de minimis extent, (ii) provide for the installation of any improvement or structure (other than landscaping elements required by Legal Requirements and temporary scaffolding during the course of repairs or renovations to the Building) within the area outlined on Exhibit R attached to this Lease as the “Protected View Corridor”, if such improvement or structure would materially obstruct the visibility of the Building from Route 128, (iii) reduce the size of or otherwise alter (by more than a de minimis extent) the Outdoor Terrace Area (as hereinafter defined) or the Rooftop Terrace (as hereinafter defined), (iv) materially adversely affect the utility facilities serving the Building, (v) subject to Landlord’s reserved right under Section 10.1, materially adversely affect Tenant’s right to access and use the loading dock of the Building or the parking areas in “Area A” on the Property and/or the Off Premises Spaces in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.1 below, (vi) except in connection with Tenant’s exercise of the expansion option under Article XVIII of this Lease, reduce the parking spaces in “Area B” shown on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-l (the “Site Plan”) (except a temporary basis in connection with Future Road Infrastructure (as hereinafter defined)) or the covered parking spaces beneath the Building reserved for Tenant’s exclusive use pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Lease, (vii) result in the elimination of either of the access roads shown as Hillside Drive or Border Road on the Site Plan (it being acknowledged and agreed that Hillside Drive and Border Road may nonetheless be modified, realigned, changed and/or relocated so long as any such modification, realignment, change and/or relocation provides reasonably equivalent access to the Building and, with respect to Hillside Drive, the “Area A” parking area), or (viii) result in Tenant not having any pylon signage identity of any kind on Main Street. The foregoing restrictions (including the Protected View Corridor) shall not apply to, and a Tenant Adverse Impact will not be deemed to exist with respect to, the installation of reasonably sized directional or wayfinding signage for other tenants of the Complex in reasonable locations on or about the Property from time to time and consistent with the style and design of tenant signage at the Complex so long as any such sign does not exceed 6 feet in height. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, during the Lease Term, the common roadways providing access to the Property and the Complex and shown on the Site Plan may, in connection with future development at the Complex and future state highway infrastructure changes and improvements, be modified, realigned, changed and/or relocated during the Term, including the potential conversion of a portion of Tower Road and adjacent property for use as an on-ramp to Route 95/128 (collectively, “Future Road Infrastructure”) and such Future Road Infrastructure and easements granted in connection therewith will not be deemed to constitute a Tenant Adverse Impact so long as Hillside Road and Border Road are not eliminated.
For purposes of this Lease, the “Leasing Threshold” shall mean that Tenant directly leases from Landlord at. least 80,000 square feet of rentable floor area in the Building (exclusive of the Storage Space) and has not assigned this Lease (except for an assignment under Section 12.5 below).
The parties acknowledge that the street address of the Property may change in connection with the development of the Property, in which case, Landlord will promptly notify Tenant of such address change.

1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
2.1.1 Storage Space
The Storage Space will be included in the Premises for all purposes of this Lease except that the Annual Fixed Rent for the Storage Space during the Original Lease Term shall be the Annual Fixed Rent set forth in Section 1.2 of this Lease for the Storage Space and during the extension option period, if exercised, the Annual Fixed Rent for the Storage Space shall be as determined pursuant to Section 3.2. Landlord shall not be required to perform any leasehold improvements, alterations or any other work, pay any Landlord’s contribution or grant any work allowance or any other amount, or render any services to make Storage Space ready for Tenant’s use or occupancy except as otherwise expressly set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto. Landlord shall not be required to provide any of the services set forth on Exhibit C attached to this Lease to the Storage Space, except that Landlord will provide convenience electrical outlets (not to exceed five (5) outlets) and HVAC service to the Storage Space. Tenant may use the Storage Space solely for storage use in connection with and accessory to its use of the Primary Premises and the Storage Space shall not be used for general office use, retail use or other Permitted Use or for the storage of any Hazardous Materials.
2.2 Appurtenant Rights and Reservations
(A) Subject to Landlord’s right to change or alter any of the following in its commercially reasonable discretion as herein provided and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, the nonexclusive right to use and to permit Tenant’s invitees (as appropriate, given the nature of their business at the Premises) to use in common with others, but not in a manner or extent that would materially interfere with the normal operation and use of the Property and subject to commercially reasonable rules from time to time made by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice (the “Rules and Regulations”): (a) the walkways, roadways and driveways on the Property necessary for access to the Building and the parking facilities thereon and the landscaped areas of the Property (the “Common Areas”), provided, however, all vehicles accessing the Property for shipping or delivery purposes shall use only the roadway marked as “Hillside Drive” on Exhibit A-l attached hereto as the primary means of access to and egress from the Property, and (b) the Common Elements (as defined in and governed by the Declaration) as Overlandlord or another Complex Owner makes the same available from time to time to tenants of the Complex, provided, however, that Tenant’s right under this Lease to permit Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors and invitees to access and park in the parking areas and facilities of the Complex outside of the Property in connection with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Building shall be limited to Tenant’s express parking rights set forth in Section 10.1 below; and no other appurtenant rights and easements. Tenant, in common with Landlord and others entitled thereto, shall have the benefit of the easements running in favor of the Property set forth in the Declaration subject to the terms and conditions of the Declaration and to reasonable rules and regulations of general applicability to tenants of the Complex from time to time made by Master Developer of which Tenant is given notice. Landlord may modify, amend, supplement or change the Rules and Regulation from time to time upon reasonable prior notice (except in the event of an emergency) to
10
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Tenant and provided that, except if required in connection with applicable Legal Requirements, in no event shall any new or amended Rules and Regulations be inconsistent with Tenant’s rights under this Lease and in the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Lease and the Rules and Regulations, the provisions of this Lease shall control.
(B) Tenant shall be permitted reasonable access to and use of the risers, conduits and shafts in the Building (to the extent available and not being used for operation of the Building) required for Tenant to run electrical and telecommunications conduits or cable for the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord has no obligation to allow any particular telecommunication service provider to have access to the Building or to the Premises except as may be required by applicable law and except that Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any telecommunications provider designated by Tenant to service the Premises. As of the date of this Lease and subject to Landlord’s rights under this Lease, Landlord approves AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Lync, and Shortel as telecommunications providers in the Building. Landlord may condition such access upon the service provider entering into Landlord’s standard form of license agreement for service providers providing telecommunications services in its buildings. Tenant shall be responsible to pay and all costs to provide telecommunications service to the Premises.
(C) Landlord reserves for its benefit the right, as reasonably necessary for Landlord to perform Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and to preserve Landlord’s interest in and to the Building, from time to time, without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use and upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency): (a) to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for services to the Premises and other parts of the Building, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, wherever located in the Premises or the Building, and (b) to alter or relocate any such facilities, provided that substitutions are substantially equivalent or better. Installations, replacements and relocations referred to in clause (a) above shall be located so far as practicable in the central core area of the Building, above ceiling surfaces, below floor surfaces or within perimeter walls of the Premises, provided that, except to the extent required by Legal Requirements, (i) such items do not adversely affect the first class appearance or usefulness of the Premises, (ii) no such work shall result in material changes in entrance doors to the Premises without Tenant’s express consent, and (iii) no such work shall reduce the usable area of the Premises (other than to a de minimis extent) or increase Tenant’s obligations (other than to a de minimis extent) or Tenant’s liabilities under this Lease. Except in the case of emergencies or for normal cleaning and maintenance operations, Landlord agrees, with respect to any of the foregoing activities which require work in or access to the Premises, to use all reasonable efforts to give Tenant reasonable advance notice of such work and to perform the same at such times and in such manner, after consultation with Tenant, as to minimize interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.
(D) Subject to the provisions and limitations set forth in Section 2.1 of this Lease and Tenant’s express rights under this Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s rights under Section 10.1 of this Lease, Landlord reserves all rights of ownership and use in all
11
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease

All of the Terrace Approvals must be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, provided, however, the foregoing shall not require Landlord to consent to or approve any change in the zoning for the Complex, the imposition of any conditions or limitations on the Complex, any Terrace Approvals which would impose additional obligations on Landlord to perform alterations to the Building or Complex to comply with applicable Legal Requirements, including the ADA, or any Terrace Approvals which would adversely affect the floor area ratio for the Building or the Complex.

ARTICLE III
Lease Term and Extension Options
17
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
3.1 Term
The Term of this Lease shall be the period specified in Section 1.2 hereof as the “Lease Term,” unless sooner terminated or extended as herein provided and commencing on the date (the “Commencement Date”) that is the Tenant Access Date (as that term is defined in Exhibit B).
As soon as may be convenient after the determination of the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant agree to join with each other in the execution, in the form of Exhibit E hereto, of a written Commencement Date Agreement in which the Commencement Date and specified Lease Term of this Lease shall be stated. If Tenant shall fail to execute or correct such Agreement within thirty (30) days after such Agreement is submitted by Landlord, the Commencement Date and Lease Term shall be as originally set forth in the Agreement delivered by Landlord.
3.2 Extension Option
(A) On the conditions (which conditions Landlord may waive by written notice to Tenant) that both at the time of exercise of the herein described option to extend and as of the commencement of the Extended Term in question (i) there exists no monetary or material non-monetary “Event of Default” (defined in Section 15.1) and there have been no more than two (2) Event of Defaults during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the date of Tenant’s exercise notice, (ii) this Lease is still in full force and effect, and (iii) Tenant has neither assigned this Lease nor sublet more than the lesser of (y) 50,000 square feet of the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises, and (z) fifty percent (50%) of the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises (except for an assignment or subletting permitted without Landlord’s consent under Section 12.5 hereof), Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term hereof upon all the same terms, conditions, covenants and agreements herein contained (except for the Annual Fixed Rent which shall be adjusted during the option period as hereinbelow set forth and except that there shall be no further option to extend) for one (1) period of ten (10) years as hereinafter set forth. The option period is sometimes herein referred to as the “Extended Term.” Notwithstanding any implication to the contrary Landlord has no obligation to make any additional payment to Tenant in respect of any construction allowance or the like or to perform any work to the Premises as a result of the exercise by Tenant of any such option.
(B) If Tenant desires to exercise an option to extend the Term, then Tenant shall give notice (“Exercise Notice”) to Landlord not later than eighteen (18) months (the “Extension Deadline”) prior to the expiration of the then Term of this Lease (as it may have been previously extended) exercising such option to extend. If Tenant timely delivers an Exercise Notice, Landlord shall, not later than fifteen (15) months prior to expiration of the then-current Term, provide Landlord’s quotation to Tenant of a proposed Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term (“Landlord’s Rent Quotation”). If at the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date when Landlord provides such quotation to Tenant (the “Negotiation
18
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Period”), Landlord and Tenant have not reached agreement on a determination of an Annual Fixed Rent for such Extended Term and executed a written instrument extending the Term of this Lease pursuant to such agreement, then Tenant shall have the right, for thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, to make a request to Landlord for a broker determination (the “Broker Determination”) of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit H) for such Extended Term, which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth in Exhibit H. If Tenant timely shall have requested the Broker Determination, then the Annual Fixed Rent for such Extended Term shall be the Prevailing Market Rent as determined by the Broker Determination. If Tenant does not timely request the Broker Determination, then the Annual Fixed Rent during the Extended Term shall be equal to the Landlord’s Rent Quotation.
(C) Upon the giving of the Exercise Notice by Tenant to Landlord exercising Tenant’s option to extend the Lease Term in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 (B) above, then this Lease and the Lease Term hereof shall automatically be deemed extended, for the Extended Term, without the necessity for the execution of any additional documents, except that Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into an instrument in writing setting forth the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term as determined in the relevant manner set forth in this Section 3.2; and in such event all references herein to the Lease Term or the Term of this Lease shall be construed as referring to the Lease Term, as so extended, unless the context clearly otherwise requires, and except that there shall be no further option to extend the Lease Term.
ARTICLE IV

Additional Rent payable by Tenant on a monthly basis, as elsewhere provided in this Lease, likewise shall be prorated, and the first payment on account thereof shall be determined in similar fashion and shall commence on the Commencement Date and other provisions of this Lease calling for monthly payments shall be read as incorporating this undertaking by Tenant, provided, however, that Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises pursuant to Section 6.2 and Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises pursuant to Section 7.5 shall not commence until the Rent Commencement Date.
Notwithstanding that the payment of Annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord shall not commence until the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall be subject to, and shall comply with, all other provisions of this Lease as and at the times provided in this Lease.
The Annual Fixed Rent and all other charges for which provision is made in this Lease shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord without setoff, deduction or abatement except as expressly provided in this Lease.
5.2 Utility Charges
Landlord shall, as part of Landlord’s Work, separately meter the Premises, for electrical, water, gas and other utility services serving the Premises (including electricity for air handlers serving the Premises and any other specialized equipment installed by Tenant in the Premises or the Building, including, without limitation, Tenant’s wireless system and other communications equipment, Tenant’s supplemental HVAC units, and any UPS units of Tenant).

In the event that any utility may not be contracted for by Tenant in Tenant’s own name, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the costs of such utility within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, as Additional Rent. If any tax
20
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
is imposed on Landlord’s receipt from the sale or resale of electric energy to Tenant by any federal, state or municipal authority, Tenant covenants and agrees that where permitted by Law, such taxes (without duplication) shall be passed on to, and included in the bill of, and paid by, Tenant to Landlord. Also, in the event that there is located in the Premises a data center containing high density computing equipment, as defined in the U.S. EPA’s Energy Star® rating system (“Energy Star”), Landlord may, at any time during the Term, require the installation in accordance with Energy Star of separate metering or check metering equipment (Tenant being responsible for the costs of any such meter or check meter and the installation and connectivity thereof).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s obligation to pay the charges assessed or incurred for electricity and other utilities supplied to the Premises and the Building shall not commence until the Rent Commencement Date and Landlord will be responsible to pay the costs of such utilities supplied to the Premises and the Building prior to the Rent Commencement Date.
ARTICLE VI
Taxes
6.1 Definitions
With reference to the real estate taxes referred to in this Article VI, it is agreed that terms used herein are defined as follows:
(a) “Tax Year” means the 12-month period beginning July 1 each year during the Lease Term or if the appropriate Governmental tax fiscal period shall begin on any date other than July 1, such other date.
(b) “Landlord’s Tax Expenses” with respect to any Tax Year means the aggregate “real estate taxes”(hereinafter defined) with respect to that Tax Year, reduced by any net abatement receipts with respect to that Tax Year. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to retain more than one hundred percent (100%) of the Landlord’s Tax Expenses actually paid or incurred by Landlord in any Tax Year, subject to Landlord’s right to seek tax reductions or abatements as set forth in this Lease.
(c) Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises” with respect to any Tax Year means 100% of the Landlord’s Tax Expenses.
(d) “Real estate taxes” means all taxes and special assessments of every kind and nature and user fees and other like fees assessed by any Governmental authority on, or allocable to the Building and the Property and all improvements thereon, including the Common Areas, and which the Landlord or Overlandlord shall be obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing or operation of the Building or the Property, plus the reasonable expenses of and fees for any formal or informal proceedings for negotiation or abatement of taxes (collectively,
21
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
“Abatement Expenses”). The Overlease provides that: (i) if the Property is separately assessed or otherwise separately allocable by the City of Waltham tax assessor from other portions of the Complex for real estate tax purposes, then real estate taxes shall mean such taxes as so separately assessed or separately allocated; and (ii) if the Property is not so separately assessed or separately allocated, the Overlease provides a commercially reasonable mechanism for the allocation of the real estate taxes to be paid by Landlord under the Overlease in respect of the Property. The amount of special taxes or special assessments to be included shall be limited to the amount of the installment (plus any interest other than penalty interest payable thereon) of such special tax or special assessment required to be paid during the year in respect of which such taxes are being determined. In no event shall “real estate taxes” payable by Tenant under this Lease (including any real estate taxes payable pursuant to clause (y) above) include any taxes or other assessments imposed by the City of Waltham tax assessor solely and expressly on the Additional Improvements or on the economic value to Landlord or Overlandlord of having the right to construct the Additional Improvements or any increased tax assessment that results from Overlandlord’s sale or transfer to a third party of the development rights for the Additional Improvements. There shall be excluded from real estate taxes all development, mitigation or impact fees or subsidies associated with the initial construction of the Building and other improvements on the Property, all income, estate, succession, inheritance and transfer taxes, any tax reserves and any excise taxes imposed upon Landlord based upon gross or net rentals or other income received by it, any interest, penalties or fines incurred as a result of Landlord’s late payment of real estate taxes (except to the extent such late payment is the result of late payment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent by Tenant) and any expenses excluded from Operating Expenses under the terms of this Lease; provided, however, that if at any time during the Lease Term the present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so that in lieu of, or in addition to, the whole or any part of the ad valorem tax on real property, there shall be assessed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax on the gross rents received with respect to the Building, or a Federal, State, County, Municipal, or other local income, franchise, excise or similar tax, assessment, levy or charge (distinct from any now in effect in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located) measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon any such gross rents, then any and all of such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, to the extent so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “real estate taxes” but only to the extent that the same would be payable if the Building, were the only property of Landlord. For the purposes of this Lease, real estate taxes shall include any payment in lieu of taxes or any payments made under Chapter 121A of the Massachusetts General Laws or any similar law.
22
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
If and so long as (x) this Lease is in full force and effect, (y) no monetary or other material Event of Default shall have occurred under this Lease, and (z) Landlord is permitted to lawfully contest the tax assessment for the Property separate and apart from the tax assessment for the Complex, Landlord will, at the written request of Tenant, either (1) apply for an abatement of real estate taxes or (2) allow Tenant to apply for abatement in its own name, or in Landlord’s name, at its own cost (subject to such Tenant’s right to recover such costs on a first dollar basis from the abatement proceeds, if any). If Tenant applies for an abatement of real estate taxes, then Landlord shall have the right to be involved in each step of the abatement process, including, without limitation, Landlord’s right to approve all filings in connection with such abatement proceedings (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and the right to attend all meetings between Tenant and its representatives and the representatives of the City of Waltham.
Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant (but at no material out-of-pocket expense to Landlord) as may be reasonably requested by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s efforts to obtain any tax or other incentives available for the Property from the City of Waltham or other state or federal governmental authorities, provided any such incentives do not materially adversely affect the value of or Landlord’s interest in the Property and do not impose any restrictions on the Property or the Complex.
6.2 Tenant’s Payment of Real Estate Taxes
Commencing as of the Rent Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout the remainder of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent with respect to any full Tax Year or fraction of a Tax Year falling within the Lease Term, the amount of Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises (the “Tenant’s Tax Payment”). Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises with respect to the Tax Years in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs and the termination of the Lease Term occurs shall be pro-rated based upon the ratio of the portion of such Tax Years which occur during the Lease Term to the total length of such Tax Years. Payments by Tenant on account of the Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be made monthly at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent. The amount so to be paid to Landlord shall be an amount from time to time reasonably estimated by Landlord to be sufficient to provide Landlord, in the aggregate, a sum equal to the Tenant’s Tax Payment, at least ten (10) days before the day on which tax payments by Landlord would become delinquent. Not later than ninety (90) days after Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises are determinable for the first such Tax Year or fraction thereof and for each succeeding Tax Year or fraction thereof during the Lease Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in reasonable detail certified by a representative of Landlord showing for the preceding year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, real estate taxes allocated to the Property, abatements and refunds, if any, of any such taxes and assessments, expenditures incurred in seeking such abatement or refund, the amount of the Tenant’s Tax Payment due from Tenant, the amount thereof already paid by Tenant and the amount thereof overpaid by, or remaining due from, Tenant for the period covered by such statement. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such statement, Tenant shall pay any sum remaining due. Any balance shown as due to Tenant shall be credited against Annual Fixed Rent next due, or refunded
23
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
to Tenant if the Lease Term has then expired and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord. Expenditures for legal fees and for other expenses incurred in obtaining an abatement or refund may be charged against the abatement or refund before the adjustments are made for the Tax Year to the extent such costs were not already included in the calculation of real estate taxes.
To the extent that real estate taxes shall be payable to the taxing authority in installments with respect to periods less than a Tax Year, the statement to be furnished by Landlord shall be rendered and payments made on account of such installments.

In such case, Landlord shall be relieved of any obligation under this Lease to provide cleaning and janitorial services to the Premises and the Building and the cost of janitorial service provided to the Premises and the Building shall be excluded from Landlord’s Operating Expenses.

If Landlord constructs a structured parking deck at the Property and third parties other than Tenant are granted the right to use the parking deck during the Exclusive Area A Parking Area Hours (as defined in Section 10.1 below), then Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises will only include the portion of the costs and expenses incurred to operate, repair and maintain the structured parking deck which are reasonably allocable by Landlord to the Building and based upon the number of parking spaces in such parking deck allocated to satisfy Tenant’s parking rights in the “Area A” parking area of the Property under Section 10.1 of this Lease.
7.5 Tenant’s Operating Expense Payments
(A) Commencing as of the Rent Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter throughout the remainder of the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent with respect to any full calendar year or fraction of a calendar year falling within the Lease Term, at the times and in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 7.5, Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises. Tenant’s obligation to pay Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises with respect to the calendar years in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs and the termination of the Lease Term occurs shall be pro-rated based upon the ratio of the portion of such calendar years which occur during the Lease Term to the total length of such calendar years.
(B) Payments by Tenant on account of the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises shall be made monthly at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent. The amount so to be paid to Landlord shall be an amount from time to time reasonably estimated by Landlord to be sufficient to cover, in the aggregate, a sum equal to the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises for each calendar year during the Lease Term.
(C) Commencing with the first Operating Year after a full twelve (12) month Operating Year (as defined in Section 7.6 below) of Operating Expenses
32
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Allocable to the Premises has been billed to Tenant under this Lease, in no event shall the Controllable Operating Expenses (as defined below) for any Operating Year exceed the Expense Cap (as defined below) for such Operating Year. “Controllable Operating Expenses” shall be defined as any Landlord’s Operating Expenses (exclusive of the management fee which shall be governed separately by the rate cap set forth in Section 7.4 above) which are within the reasonable control of Landlord, but Controllable Operating Expenses shall not include any costs (“Uncontrollable Expenses”) which are not within the reasonable control of Landlord, including, without limitation, the following items shall be deemed to be Uncontrollable Expenses: (i) premiums for insurance, (ii) union related labor costs (or the cost of contracts dependent or partially dependent on union related labor costs), (iii) snow plowing, (iv) security, (v) Permitted Capital Expenditures, (vi) water, sewer, electric, gas, oil, steam and other utility or regulatory charges, (vii) costs of removal of trash and recycling from the Premises; (viii) the Declaration Common Expenses, provided, however, any Declaration Common Expenses which would have constituted Controllable Operating Expenses if the expense item had been performed or provided by Landlord will constitute a Controllable Operating Expense for purposes of this Section 7.5(C); and (ix) costs to perform repairs, maintenance and janitorial services to the Outdoor Terrace Area, the Rooftop Terrace and the Fitness Facilities (and any other specialty use areas requested by Tenant) and any of the extra janitorial services set forth on Schedule C-l attached to Exhibit C of this Lease all of which will be billed as “Special Service”, and (viii) the costs for any shuttle services serving the Building and the Complex. In no event shall work orders or similar services or work performed by Landlord at the request of Tenant constitute a Controllable Operating Expense. The “Expense Cap” for each Operating Year during the Term shall be 104% of the total Controllable Operating Expenses for the immediately preceding Operating Year. There shall be no Expense Cap in respect of the first Operating Year of the Lease Term. By way of example only of the foregoing, if the Rent Commencement Date occurs on October 1, 2016, then there shall be no Expense Cap for the period from October 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017 and the Expense Cap will first apply to the Controllable Operating Expenses incurred during the Operating Year commencing on January 1, 2018.
(D) No later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the first calendar year or fraction thereof ending December 31 and of each succeeding calendar year during the Lease Term or fraction thereof at the end of the Lease Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in reasonable detail and according to usual accounting practices certified by a representative of Landlord (the “Operating Expense Statement”), showing for the preceding calendar year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, the Landlord’s Operating Expenses and the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises. Said statement to be rendered to Tenant also shall show for the preceding year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, the amounts already paid by Tenant on account of Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and the amount of Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises remaining due from, or overpaid by, Tenant for the year or other period covered
33
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
by such statement. If such statement shows a balance remaining due to Landlord, Tenant shall pay same to Landlord on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by Tenant of said Operating Expense Statement. Any balance shown as due to Tenant shall be credited against Annual Fixed Rent next due, or refunded to Tenant if the Lease Term has then expired and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord.
(E) Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering an Operating Expense Statement or Tax Expense Statement (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any Operating Year or Tax Year, as applicable, shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render the same with respect thereto nor shall the rendering of an Operating Expense Statement or Tax Expense Statement, as applicable, for any Operating Year or Tax Year, as applicable, prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a corrected Operating Expense Statement or Tax Expense Statement, as applicable, for such Operating Year or Tax Year, as applicable, provided, however, that Landlord shall in all events render the Operating Expense Statement or Tax Expense Statement, as applicable, in question or any corrections thereto within two (2) years after the end of the Operating Year or Tax Year, as applicable, covered by the applicable statement, and provided, further that the foregoing two (2) year period shall expressly not apply to any new or corrected Operating Expense Statement or Tax Expense Statement, as applicable, rendered by Landlord to reflect charges or corrections in charges resulting from any late billing or corrected billing by a third party such as the taxing authority or utility provider.
Any payment by Tenant for the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises shall not be deemed to waive any rights of Tenant to claim that the amount thereof was not determined in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.
7.6 Tenant’s Audit Right
Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.6 and provided that no Event of Default of Tenant exists, Tenant shall have the right to examine the correctness of any of the Landlord’s Tax Expenses statement (“Tax Expense Statement”) and/or Landlord’s Operating Expense Statement, or any item contained therein:
(1) Any request for examination in respect of any Tax Year or Operating Year (as hereinafter defined) may be made by notice from Tenant to Landlord no more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date (the “Statement Date”) Landlord provides to Tenant the applicable year-end statement required hereunder in respect of such Operating Year or such Tax Year, as applicable (and only if Tenant shall have fully paid the amounts billed with respect to the applicable Operating Expenses, Taxes or electricity charges). Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the matters questioned. “Operating Year” shall mean a period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, commencing on the first day of January in each year, except that the first Operating Year of the Lease Term hereof shall be the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the succeeding December 31, and the last Lease Year of the Lease Term
34
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
hereof shall be the period commencing on January 1 of the calendar year in which the Lease Term ends, and ending with the date on which the Lease Term ends.
(2) Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s sole right to contest any Operating Expense Statement and Landlord’s Tax Expenses Statement shall be as expressly set forth in this Section 7.6. Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights provided pursuant to applicable laws to inspect Landlord’s books and records and/or to contest any Landlord’s Operating Expenses Statement and/or Landlord’s Tax Expense Statement. If Tenant shall fail to timely exercise Tenant’s right to inspect Landlord’s books and records as provided in this Section 7.6, or if Tenant shall fail to timely communicate to Landlord the results of Tenant’s examination as provided in this Section 7.6, with respect to any Operating Year or Tax Year, as applicable, then such Operating Expense Statement and/or Tax Expense Statement, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant.
(3) So much of Landlord’s books and records pertaining to the Landlord’s Operating Expenses and/or Landlord’s Tax Expenses, as applicable, for the specific matters questioned by Tenant for the Operating Year or Tax Year included in the applicable year-end statement shall be made available to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Landlord timely receives the notice from Tenant to make such examination pursuant to this Section 7.6, either electronically or during normal business hours at the offices where Landlord keeps such books and records or at another location, as determined by Landlord. Any examination must be completed and the results communicated to Landlord no more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date Landlord makes its books and records available for Tenant’s audit. Upon written request of Tenant, if reasonably necessary to provide requisite back-up documentation relating to the Declaration Common Expenses, Landlord shall exercise, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any review rights Landlord may possess under the Declaration.
(4) Tenant shall have the right to make such examination no more than once in respect of any Operating Year or Tax Year, as applicable, in which Landlord has given Tenant an Operating Expense Statement or Tax Expense Statement, as applicable, except that if, as a result of an audit by Tenant of Landlord’s books and records pursuant to this Section 7.6 with respect to any Operating Year, Landlord and Tenant agree that a material discrepancy in any line item of the Landlord’s Operating Expense Statement for such Operating Year has occurred (which shall mean an overcharge in any line item of the Landlord’s Operating Expense Statement of more than three percent (3%)), then Tenant may audit the Operating Expense Statement in respect of that same line item only for the immediately preceding three (3) Operating Years and provided that Tenant did not previously conduct an audit for the applicable prior Operating Years.
(5) Such examination may be made only by a qualified employee of Tenant or a qualified independent, real estate professional with at least five (5) years of relevant office leasing audit experience approved by Landlord, which approval in either case shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and DTZ as successor by merger with Cassidy Turley is hereby approved by Landlord). No examination shall be
35
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
conducted by an examiner who is to be compensated, in whole or in part, on a contingent fee basis.
(6) As a condition to performing any such examination, Tenant and its examiners shall be required to execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, agreeing to keep confidential any information which it discovers about Landlord or the Building in connection with such examination, provided however, that Tenant may disclose such information (i) to Tenant’s employees, counsel and advisors who have the need to know such information in order to provide Tenant with advice in connection with such audit, (ii) actual or proposed successors, assigns, subtenants, lenders or purchasers of Tenant and (iii) to the extent required by applicable law or reporting requirements or by administrative, governmental or judicial proceeding.
(7) No subtenant shall have any right to conduct any such examination and no assignee may conduct any such examination with respect to any period during which the assignee was not in possession of the Premises.
(8) If as a result of such examination Landlord and Tenant agree that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of the Landlord’s Operating Expenses, Landlord’s Tax Expenses or electricity charges allocable to the Premises exceeded the amounts to which Landlord was entitled hereunder, or that Tenant is entitled to a credit with respect to the Landlord’s Operating Expenses, electricity charges or Landlord’s Tax Expenses, Landlord, at its option, shall either refund to Tenant the amount of such excess, or apply the amount of such credit against Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after the date of such agreement. Similarly, if Landlord and Tenant agree that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of Landlord’s Operating Expenses, Landlord’s Tax Expenses or electricity charges, as applicable, were less than the amounts to which Landlord was entitled hereunder, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after the date of such agreement.
(9) All costs and expenses of any such examination shall be paid by Tenant, except if as a result of such examination Landlord and Tenant agree that the amount of the Landlord’s Operating Expenses payable by Tenant was overstated by more than three percent (3%), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual, reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in such examination, up to a maximum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), such amount to be escalated annually by four percent (4%).
7.7 No Damage
(A) Except as may be expressly set forth in this Section 7.7(A) and in Sections 7.7(C) and (D) below and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business arising from the necessity of Landlord or its agents entering the Premises for any purposes in this Lease authorized, or for repairing the
36
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Premises or any portion of the Building or the Complex however the necessity may occur. In case Landlord is prevented or delayed from making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any services or performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on Landlord’s part, by reason of any cause reasonably beyond Landlord’s control, including, without limitation, by reason of Force Majeure (as defined in Section 14.1 hereof) or for any cause due to any act or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s servants, agents, employees, licensees or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor, except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof, or right to terminate this Lease, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises.
(B) Subject to Tenant’s express rights under this Section 7.7, Landlord reserves the right to stop any service or utility system, when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been completed; provided, however, that in each instance of stoppage, Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause thereof. Except in case of emergency repairs, Landlord will give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any contemplated stoppage and will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary inconvenience to Tenant by reason thereof.
(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease contained, and except as provided in Section 7.7(E) below, if due to (i) any repairs, alterations, replacements, or improvements made by Landlord, (ii) Landlord’s failure to make any repairs, alterations, or improvements required to be made by Landlord hereunder, or to provide any service required to be provided by Landlord hereunder (including, without limitation, parking in the Number of Parking Spaces required under this Lease), or to remediate any Hazardous Materials (as that term is defined in Section 11.2 and provided such Hazardous Materials were not used, stored or disposed of at the Property or the Complex by Tenant or its agents, employees, subtenants or contractors), or (iii) the failure of electric supply, water and/or sewer service, all elevator service, HVAC service or all access to the Premises, any portion of the Premises is impacted so that for the Interruption Cure Period, as hereinafter defined, the continued operation in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business is materially adversely affected (including, without limitation, as the result of the Premises being rendered inaccessible as the result of any of the circumstances described in subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) above of this Section 7.7(C)), then, provided that Tenant ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises during the entirety of the Interruption Cure Period by reason of such event, and that such event and Landlord’s inability to cure the same is not caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, Annual Fixed Rent, Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises shall thereafter be abated after the expiration of the Interruption Cure Period in proportion to the impact on the continued operation in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business in the Premises until the day such condition is completely corrected. If the entire Premises have not been impacted, the amount of abatement shall be equitably prorated, provided, however, if the remaining portion of the Premises is not reasonably sufficient to permit Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein (and Tenant was occupying and conducting business in the
37
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
unaffected portion of the Premises immediately prior to the event or condition), and Tenant does not conduct its business in any portion of the Premises due to such event or condition, then such abatement shall include such other portions of the Premises which Tenant is not able to and does not in fact use for the conduct of its business. For the purposes hereof, the “Interruption Cure Period” shall be defined as five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant of the condition causing the impact in the Premises, provided however, that the Interruption Cure Period shall be ten (10) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant of such condition causing the impact in the Premises if either the condition was caused by causes beyond Landlord’s control or Landlord is unable to cure such condition as the result of causes beyond Landlord’s control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently proceed to effect the repair or restoration of the affected portion of the Premises or the Property as soon as reasonably possible following the event giving rise to a remedy hereunder (or, if the repair or restoration is not within Landlord’s reasonable control, take such measures as are reasonably practicable to effect such repair or restoration).
(D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained and subject to Section 7.7(E) below, if due to (i) any repairs, alterations, replacements, or improvements made by Landlord, (ii) Landlord’s failure to make any repairs, alterations, or improvements required to be made by Landlord hereunder (including, without limitation, parking in the Number of Parking Spaces required under this Lease), or to provide any service required to be provided by Landlord hereunder, or to remediate any Hazardous Materials (as that term is defined in Section 11.2 below and provided such Hazardous Materials were not used, stored or disposed of at the Property or the Complex by Tenant or its agents, employees, subtenants or contractors), or (iii) the failure or inadequacy of electric supply, water and/or sewer service, all elevator service, HVAC service or all access to the Premises, any material portion of the Premises is impacted so that for the Impacted Period, as hereinafter defined, the continued operation in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business is materially adversely affected (including, without limitation, as the result of the Premises being rendered inaccessible as the result of any of the circumstances described in subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) above of this Section 7.7(D)) then, provided that Tenant ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises during the entirety of the Impacted Period by reason of such event, and that such event and Landlord’s inability to cure the same is not caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, for a period (the “Impacted Period”) of five (5) consecutive months (which five (5) month period shall be extended by the period of time, which shall not exceed an additional one (1) month, that Landlord is delayed in curing such condition as the result Force Majeure) after Landlord’s receipt of written notice of such condition from Tenant, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice as follows:
(1) Said notice shall be given after the expiration of the Impacted Period.
(2) Said notice shall set forth an effective date which is not earlier than thirty (30) days after Landlord receives said notice.
38
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
(3) If said condition is remedied on or before said effective date, said notice shall have no further force and effect.
(4) If said condition is not remedied on or before said effective date for any reason other than Tenant’s fault, as aforesaid, the Lease shall terminate as of said effective date, and the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due under the Lease shall be apportioned as of said effective date.
(E) The provisions of Sections 7.7(C) and (D) above shall not apply in the event of impairment to the Premises or inaccessibility caused by fire or other casualty, or taking (which shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Article XIV below). In addition, the provisions of Sections 7.7(C) and (D) above shall not apply to (i) any temporary reduction in the Number of Parking Spaces on the Property resulting from Landlord’s construction of a Structured Parking Deck on the Property either pursuant to Article XVIII or pursuant to and subject to the conditions of Article X of this Lease, or (ii) to minor reductions (not to exceed (15 parking spaces) in the Number of Parking Spaces available at the Property as the result of unusually high snow accumulations. Nothing contained in this Section 7.7 shall be construed so as to preclude Tenant from exercising its self-help rights under Section 16.17(B) below; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.7 to the contrary, if Tenant so exercises its rights under said Section 16.17(B), then any abatement of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall cease from and after the date that the applicable condition in the Premises would have been eliminated by the exercise of reasonable diligence, but for Tenant’s exercise of its rights under Section 16.17(B), taking into account any period of time which Tenant is delayed by Force Majeure.

Premises (other than the Landlord’s Work), by Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, or (ii) Hazardous Materials which are in the Building or on the Property because of the action of Tenant, or any employee, agent, contractor, subtenant, occupant or invitee of Tenant or any other tenant or occupant of the Building. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the nature of any work being performed, to perform any removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials required by Landlord under this Lease in a manner which will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises and the parking areas which Tenant is entitled to use on the Property and in the Complex. In the event of any removal, encapsulation or remediation work in the Premises, Landlord agrees, upon receipt of a written request, to provide Tenant with copies of the documentation and/or reports received by Landlord with respect to such removal or remediation in the Premises.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.1 above, but subject to the provisions of this Section 12.4 and the provisions of Sections 12.6 and 12.7 below, in the event that Landlord shall not have exercised the termination right as set forth in Section 12.3, or shall have failed to give any or timely notice under Section 12.3, then for a period of one hundred fifty (150) days after (i) the receipt of Landlord's notice stating that Landlord does not elect to exercise the termination right, or (ii) the expiration of the Acceptance Period, in the event Landlord shall not give any or timely notice under Section 12.3 as the case may be, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublet the whole (but not part) of the Premises in accordance with the Proposed Transfer Notice provided that, in each instance, Tenant first obtains the express prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any disapproval by Landlord of a proposed assignment or subletting shall set forth in reasonable detail the reason or reasons therefor.
Without limiting the foregoing standard, Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to such a proposed assignment or subleasing if:
(a) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a tenant elsewhere in the Complex or is (or within the previous sixty (60) days has been) in active negotiation (meaning that the prospective landlord entity has issued or received a lease proposal with such party) with Landlord, Overlandlord, or any affiliate of Landlord or Overlandlord for premises in the Building or elsewhere in the Complex or is not of a character consistent with the operation of a first class office building (by way of example Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to an assignment or subleasing to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency or to a so-called “call center”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may sublease all or a portion of the Premises (the “Subleased Premises”) to a tenant of the Building or elsewhere within the Complex if such subtenant's need, as to the size of premises and length of term, cannot then (i.e., at the time that Tenant's sublease would commence) be satisfied by Landlord or its affiliates within the Building or the Complex; or
(b) the proposed assignee or any subtenant subleasing more than forty percent (40%) of the Premises does not possess adequate financial capability to perform the Tenant obligations as and when due or required; or
60
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
(c) the assignee or subtenant proposes to use the Premises (or part thereof) for a purpose other than the purpose for which the Premises may be used as stated in Section 1.2 hereof; or
(d) the character of the business to be conducted or the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee shall (i) be likely to materially increase Landlord's Operating Expenses beyond that which Landlord now incurs for use by Tenant; (ii) be likely to materially increase the burden on elevators or other Building systems or equipment over the burden generated by normal and customary office usage; or (iii) violate or be likely to violate any provisions or restrictions contained herein relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord objects to a proposed assignee or subtenant on the grounds of subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 12.4(d), Tenant may overcome such objection by agreeing to pay the amount of such increase; or
(e) there shall be existing an Event of Default (defined in Section 15.1) or there have been three (3) or more Event of Default occurrences within the twelve (12) months immediately preceding Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Proposed Transfer Notice; or
(f) any proposed assignment or sublease shall potentially have any adverse effect on the real estate investment trust qualification requirements applicable to Landlord and its affiliates; or
(g) with respect to a proposed assignment or a sublease of 50% or more of the Premises, the holder of any mortgage on property which includes the Premises having approval rights over such proposed assignment or sublease does not approve of the same (where such holder has approval rights pursuant to the terms of the mortgage), which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in accordance with the terms of this Article XII; or
(h) due to the identity or business of a proposed assignee or subtenant, such approval would cause Landlord to be in violation of any covenant or restriction contained in another lease or other agreement affecting space in the Complex, including, without limitation, the Retail Portion of the Complex.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's right to sublease all or any portion of the Premises shall not be restricted by Landlord (x) due to the financial condition of the subtenant or (y) by any rent hurdle or other rental threshold that Landlord may deem needed in order to consent to a proposed sublease.
If Landlord shall consent to the proposed assignment or subletting, as the case may be, then, in such event, Tenant may thereafter sublease or assign pursuant to Tenant's notice, as given hereunder; provided, however, that if such assignment or sublease shall not be
61
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
executed and delivered to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord's consent, the consent shall be deemed null and void and the provisions of Section 12.2 shall be applicable.
At the written request of Tenant, Landlord will approve or disapprove of a proposed transferee prior to receiving a final, executed copy of the proposed assignment, sublease and other contractual documents, provided that (i) Landlord has been provided with sufficient information to make such decision, and (ii) any approval by Landlord of a proposed transferee shall be conditioned upon Landlord's subsequent approval of the actual signed assignment, sublease or other contractual documents that are entered into to effectuate the proposed Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's approval shall be null and void and deemed withdrawn if Tenant does not, within ninety (90) days of Tenant's initial request for Landlord's approval, enter into an assignment or sublease upon substantially the same economic and other material terms as were set forth in the documentation previously delivered to Landlord.
12.5 Exceptions
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 12.1, 12.3 and 12.4 above or the provisions of Section 12.6 below, but subject to the provisions of Section 12.2 (as qualified below) and Section 12.7 below, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises (in whole or in part) without the consent of Landlord but after reasonable advance notice (not less than fifteen (15) days before the effective date of the assignment or subletting except that if prior notice to Landlord of such assignment, sublease or transfer is prohibited by applicable securities laws, then Tenant shall deliver such notice to Landlord as soon as it is legally permitted to do so, but not later than the date five (5) business days after the occurrence of the proposed assignment, sublease or transfer in question and, if such transfer is subject to a confidentiality agreement, Tenant may require Landlord to first execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement) to any other entity (the “Successor Entity”) (i) which controls or is controlled by Tenant, or (ii) which is under common control with Tenant, or (iii) which purchases all or substantially all of the assets and business of Tenant, or (iv) which purchases a controlling interest in Tenant, or (v) which merges or combines with Tenant, provided that, with respect to any assignment to a Successor Entity, the combined tangible net worth (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and using the most recent financial statements) of the Successor Entity, Tenant and Guarantor is the same or better than the combined tangible net worths of Tenant and Guarantor as of the date of this Lease (the foregoing transferees referred to, individually or collectively, as a “Permitted Transferee”). Except in cases of statutory merger, in which case the surviving entity in the merger shall be liable as the Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall continue to remain fully liable under this Lease, on a joint and several basis with the Permitted Transferee. If any parent, affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant to which this Lease is assigned or the Premises sublet (in whole or in part) shall cease to be such a parent, affiliate or subsidiary, such cessation shall be considered an assignment or subletting requiring Landlord's consent.
12.6 Profit on Subleasing or Assignment
62
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
In the case of any assignment or subleasing as to which Landlord may consent (other than an assignment or subletting permitted under Section 12.5 above) such consent shall be upon the express and further condition, covenant and agreement, and Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that, in addition to the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges to be paid pursuant to this Lease, fifty percent (50%) of the “Assignment/Sublease Profits” (hereinafter defined), if any, actually received by Tenant shall be paid to Landlord. The “Assignment/Sublease Profits” shall be the excess, if any, of (a) the “Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues” as hereinafter defined over (b) the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and other charges provided in this Lease (provided, however, that for the purpose of calculating the Assignment/Sublease Profits in the case of a sublease, appropriate proportions in the applicable Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges under this Lease shall be made based on the percentage of the Premises subleased and on the terms of the sublease). The “Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues” shall be the fixed rent, additional rent and all other charges and sums actually received by Tenant either initially or over the term of the sublease or assignment plus all other profits and increases actually received by Tenant as a result of such subletting or assignment (exclusive of amounts paid to Tenant for the purchase or lease of personal property or equipment of Tenant except to the extent such amounts exceed the fair market value or rental value of the same), after first deducting all reasonable costs of Tenant incurred in such subleasing or assignment (the definition of which shall be customary transaction costs, including rent concessions, architectural fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, moving expenses, brokerage commissions, improvement expenses paid by Tenant and alteration allowances associated with the subleasing or assignment at issue), in each case actually paid and, with respect to an assignment only, the unamortized costs of leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant in excess of Landlord's Contribution to the extent the assignee has paid consideration specifically on account of the same), as set forth in a statement certified by an appropriate officer of Tenant and delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the full execution of the sublease or assignment document.
All payments of the Assignment/Sublease Profits due Landlord shall be made within ten (10) business days of receipt of same by Tenant.
12.7 Additional Conditions
(A) It shall be a condition of the validity of any assignment or subletting consented to under Section 12.4 above, or any assignment or subletting of right under Section 12.5 above, that both Tenant and the assignee or sublessee enter into a separate written instrument directly with Landlord in a form and containing terms and provisions reasonably required by Landlord, including, without limitation, the agreement of the assignee or sublessee to be bound directly to Landlord for all the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease (including any amendments or extensions thereof), including, without limitation, the obligation (a) to pay the rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease (but in the case of a partial subletting pursuant to Section 12.5, such subtenant shall agree on a pro rata basis to be so bound) and (b) to comply with the provisions of Article XII hereof and (c) to indemnify the “Landlord Parties” (as defined in Section 13.13) as provided
63
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
in Section 13.1 hereof. Such assignment or subletting shall not relieve the Tenant named herein of any of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder and Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable therefor and the liability of Tenant and such assignee (or subtenant, as the case may be) shall be joint and several. Further, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions hereof shall not constitute a recognition of the sublease or the subtenant thereunder, as the case may be, and at Landlord's option, upon the termination or expiration of the Lease (whether such termination is based upon a cause beyond Tenant's control, a default of Tenant, the agreement of Tenant and Landlord or any other reason), the sublease shall be terminated.
(B) As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a fee for Landlord's review of any proposed assignment or sublease requested by Tenant and the preparation of any associated documentation in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, an amount equal to the sum of (i) $1,000.00 and/or (ii) reasonable out of pocket legal fees or other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such request up to a maximum of Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000.00) in connection with any single request for consent.
(C) If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may upon prior notice to Tenant, at any time and from time to time, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, collect rent and other charges from the assignee, sublessee or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or a waiver of the provisions of Article XII hereof, or the acceptance of the assignee, sublessee or occupant as a tenant or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained, the Tenant herein named to remain primarily liable under this Lease.
(D) The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting under Section 12.4 above, or the consummation of an assignment or subletting of right under Section 12.5 above, shall in no way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting.
(E) On or after the occurrence of a monetary or material non-monetary “Event of Default” (defined in Section 15.1) and except in connection with transfer permitted without Landlord's consent under Section 12.5 above, Landlord shall be entitled to one hundred percent (100%) of any Assignment/Sublease Profits.
(F) Without limiting Tenant's obligations under Article IX and except as expressly provided in Section 12.3 above, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, for performing all work necessary to comply with Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in connection with any assignment or
64
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
subletting hereunder including, without limitation, any work in connection with such assignment or subletting.
(G) In addition to the other requirements set forth in this Lease and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, partial sublettings of the Premises shall only be permitted under the following terms and conditions: (i) the layout of both the subleased premises and the remainder of the Premises must comply with applicable Legal Requirements and any alterations must be approved by Landlord in accordance with Article IX, including, without limitation, all requirements concerning access and egress; (ii) in the event the subleased premises are separately physically demised from the remainder of the Premises, Tenant shall pay all costs of separately physically demising the subleased premises; and (iii) there shall be no more than six (6) subleases in effect in the Premises at any given time.
12.8 Permitted Occupants
Notwithstanding anything in this Article XII to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord (but upon reasonable prior notice to Landlord), to permit the use or occupancy of space in the Premises by any affiliate, subsidiary or other related entity of Tenant or, with respect to a portion of the Premises that is not separately demised and consists of not more than 25,000 rentable square feet of the Premises in the aggregate for periods of less than one (1) year at a time, by (i) subject to the terms of Section 11.10, one or more licenses to a licensee-operator of any amenities or service areas within the Premises, including, without limitation, Tenant's office service centers within the Premises, and/or (ii) persons who have an ongoing contractual or other business relationship with Tenant providing for cooperative or collaborative research and development such that such occupants have a reasonable need to work in proximity with Tenant or which (such persons who shall be permitted to occupy portions of the Premises pursuant to this Section 12.8 being referred to individually as a “Permitted Occupant,” or collectively as the “Permitted Occupants”); provided that (x) the Permitted Occupants shall use the Premises in conformity with all applicable provisions of this Lease, (y) such occupancy will terminate automatically upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and (z) Tenant shall remain frilly liable for the acts or omissions of the Permitted Occupants in the Premises and at the Property.
ARTICLE XIII
Indemnity and Insurance
13.1 Tenant's Indemnity
(A) Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to the limitations in Section 7.8 above and Sections 13.13 (waiver of subrogation) and 16.24 below, Tenant waives any right to contribution against the Landlord Parties (as hereinafter defined) and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Landlord Parties and Overlandlord from and against claims of whatever nature by a third
65
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
party arising from or claimed to have arisen from (i) any negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant Parties (as hereinafter defined); (ii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person, or to the property of any person, occurring in or about the Premises from the earlier of (A) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (B) the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout and until the end of the Lease Term, and after the end of the Lease Term for so long after the end of the Lease Term as Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof; (iii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever occurring outside the Premises but within the Building, the Common Areas or the Complex, where such accident, injury or damage results, or is claimed to have resulted, from any act, omission or negligence on the part of any of the Tenant Parties; or (iv) any breach of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall pay such indemnified amounts as they are incurred by the Landlord Parties. This indemnification shall not be construed to deny or reduce any other rights or obligations of indemnity that any of the Landlord Parties may have under this Lease or the common law. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be obligated to indemnify (y) a Landlord Party for any claims to the extent that such Landlord Party's damages result from the negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Lease by any of the Landlord Parties, or (z) Overlandlord for any claims to the extent that Overlandlord's damages result from the negligence or willful misconduct by Overlandlord or any of Overlandlord's agents, employees or contractors.
(B) No limitation. The indemnification obligations under this Section 13.1 shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Premises under workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts. Tenant waives any immunity from or limitation on its indemnity or contribution liability to the Landlord Parties based upon the acts set forth in this Section 13.1(B).
(C) Subtenants and other occupants. Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises to provide similar indemnities to the Landlord Parties in a form acceptable to Landlord.
(D) Survival. The terms of this Section 13.1 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Lease.
(E) Costs. The foregoing indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity for all costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by the Landlord Parties in connection with any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof. In addition, in the event that any action or proceeding shall be brought against one or more Landlord Parties by reason of any such claim. Tenant, upon request from the Landlord Party, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding on behalf of the Landlord Party by counsel appointed by Tenant's
66
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
insurer (if such claim is covered by insurance without reservation) or otherwise by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord Party. The Landlord Parties shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of such Landlord Parties acting in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other party if Tenant's insurer does not agree with the decision of any such Landlord Parties.
13.2 Tenant's Risk
Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to use such other portions of the Building and the Complex as Tenant is given the right to use by this Lease at Tenant's own risk. The Landlord Parties shall not be liable to the Tenant Parties for any damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, claims for the interruption of or loss to a Tenant Party's business) based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to any portion of the Premises or the Building or the Complex, any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance, or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any other tenants of the Building or of any other person or persons, or any leakage in any part or portion of the Premises or the Building or the Complex, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building or the Complex, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building or the Complex. Any goods, property or personal effects stored or placed in or about the Premises shall be at the sole risk of the Tenant Party, and neither the Landlord Parties nor their insurers shall in any manner be held responsible therefor. The Landlord Parties shall not be responsible or liable to a Tenant Party, or to those claiming by, through or under a Tenant Party, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or connecting with the Premises or any part of the Building or otherwise. The provisions of this section shall be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and during such further period as Tenant may use or be in occupancy of any part of the Premises or of the Building.
13.3 Tenant's Commercial General Liability Insurance
Tenant agrees to maintain in full force on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (ii) the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout and until the end of the Lease Term, and after the end of the Lease Term for so long as Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof, a policy of commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, issued on a form at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (“ISO”) Commercial General Liability Coverage “occurrence” form CG 00 01 10 01 or another Commercial General Liability “occurrence” form providing equivalent coverage. Such insurance shall include contractual liability coverage and which includes this Lease as an insured contract. The minimum limits of liability of such insurance shall be Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) per occurrence, which may be satisfied through a combination of primary and excess/umbrella insurance. In addition, in
67
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
the event Tenant hosts a function in the Premises, in the Building or on the Property, Tenant agrees to obtain, and cause any persons or parties providing services for such function to obtain, the appropriate insurance coverages as determined by Landlord (including liquor liability coverage, if applicable) and provide Landlord with evidence of the same.
13.4 Tenant's Property Insurance
Tenant shall maintain at all times during the Term of the Lease, and during such earlier time as Tenant may be performing work in or to the Premises or have property, fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies, wares or merchandise on the Premises, and containing thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of the Premises, business interruption insurance and insurance against loss or damage covered by the so-called “all risk” type insurance coverage with respect to Tenant's property, fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies, wares and merchandise, and all alterations, improvements and other modifications made by or on behalf of the Tenant in the Premises, and other property of Tenant located at the Premises, which are permitted to be removed by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term except to the extent paid for by Landlord (collectively “Tenant's Property”). The business interruption insurance required by this Section 13.4 shall be in minimum amounts typically carried by prudent tenants engaged in similar operations, but in no event shall be in an amount less than the Annual Fixed Rent then in effect during any Lease Year, plus any Additional Rent due and payable for the immediately preceding Lease Year. The “all risk” insurance required by this section shall be in an amount at least equal to the full replacement cost of Tenant's Property. In addition, during such time as Tenant is performing work in or to the Premises, Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall also maintain, or shall cause its contractor(s) to maintain, builder's risk insurance for the full insurable value of such work. Landlord and such additional persons or entities as Landlord may reasonably request shall be named as loss payees, as their interests may appear, on the policy or policies required by this Lease. In the event of loss or damage covered by the “all risk” insurance required by this Lease, the responsibilities for repairing or restoring the loss or damage shall be determined in accordance with Article XIV. To the extent that Landlord is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, Landlord shall be paid the proceeds of the “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage. To the extent Tenant is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage, covered by the policy, Tenant shall be paid the proceeds of the “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage. If both Landlord and Tenant are obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to each of them in the pro rata proportion of their obligations to repair or restore the loss or damage. If the loss or damage is not repaired or restored (for example, if the Lease is terminated pursuant to Article XIV), the insurance proceeds shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant in the pro rata proportion of their relative contributions to the cost of the leasehold improvements covered by the policy.
13.5 Tenant's Other Insurance
68
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Tenant agrees to maintain in full force on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (ii) the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout the end of the Term, and after the end of the Term for so long after the end of the Term as Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereafter, (1) comprehensive automobile liability insurance (covering any automobiles owned or operated by Tenant) issued on a form at least as broad as ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 07 97 or other form providing equivalent coverage; (2) worker's compensation insurance; and (3) employer's liability insurance. Such automobile liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident.

One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-policy limit, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-each employee.
13.6 Requirements for Tenant's Insurance
All insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be maintained with responsible companies that (i) are admitted to do business, and are in good standing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or, with respect to the excess/umbrella coverage required under this Section 13.3 above, is legally allowed to insure losses in Massachusetts, and (ii) have a rating of at least “A-” and are within a financial size category of not less than “Class VIII” in the most current Best's Key Rating Guide (or such similar rating as may be reasonably selected by Landlord) or, if such Best's rating is at any time not obtainable in the industry, then the Tenant insurer shall have a reasonably equivalent rating from a comparable rating agency reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If and so long as Tenant's excess/umbrella liability policy is carried by Guarantor and is issued by a London domiciled insurance carrier, then such excess/umbrella policy shall at all times include Tenant as a named insured under the policy, and the insurer may satisfy the rating requirement set forth in this Section 13.6 if the insurer has a rating of AA in the most current Standard & Poor's Rating Services. All such insurance shall: (1) be in commercially reasonable form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (2) be primary and noncontributory (including all primary and excess/umbrella policies); and (3) if reasonably obtainable, contain an endorsement prohibiting cancellation, failure to renew, reduction of amount of insurance, or change in coverage without the insurer first giving Landlord thirty (30) days' prior written notice (by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by fax or email) of such proposed action, and in any event, Tenant shall provide Landlord with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of any such cancellation, failure to renew or reduction in the amounts or types of such insurance below the minimum amounts and coverages required under this Lease. No such policy shall contain any self-insured retention greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) for property insurance and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) for commercial general liability insurance. Any deductibles and such self-insured retentions shall be deemed to be “insurance” for purposes of the waiver in Section 13.13 below. Landlord reserves the right from time to time, but not sooner than the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, to require
69
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Tenant to obtain higher minimum amounts of insurance based on such limits as are customarily carried with respect to similar properties in the area in which the Premises are located. The minimum amounts of insurance required by this Lease shall not be reduced by the payment of claims or for any other reason. In the event Tenant shall fail to obtain or maintain any insurance meeting the requirements of this Article, or to deliver such certificates as required by this Article, Landlord may, at its option, on five (5) business days' notice to Tenant, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.
13.7 Additional Insureds
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, and any additional liability insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to Section 13.3 of this Lease, shall name Landlord, Landlord's managing agent, and such other persons as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to this Lease or the operations of Tenant (collectively “Additional Insureds”). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord, Landlord's managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured.
13.8 Certificates of Insurance
On or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (ii) the Commencement Date, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates evidencing the insurance coverage required by this Lease, and renewal certificates shall be furnished to Landlord at least annually thereafter, and at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of each policy for which a certificate was furnished (acceptable forms of such certificates as of the date hereof for liability and property insurance, respectively, are attached as Exhibit J, however, other then equivalent forms may be acceptable). Failure by the Tenant to provide the certificates or letters required by this Section 13.8 shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the requirements in this Section 13.8. Upon request by Landlord, a true and complete copy of any insurance policy required by this Lease shall be delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days following Landlord's request.
13.9 Subtenants and Other Occupants
Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises to provide written documentation evidencing the obligation of such subtenant or other occupant to indemnify the Landlord Parties to the same extent that Tenant is required to indemnify the Landlord Parties pursuant to Section 13.1 above, and to maintain insurance that meets the requirements of this Article, and otherwise to comply with the requirements of this Article, provided, however, with respect to a subtenant of less than all or substantially all of the Premises, Landlord will only require such subtenant to carry the same insurance as Landlord requires of Landlord's direct tenants of comparable size as the subleased
70
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
premises. Tenant shall require all such subtenants and occupants to supply certificates of insurance evidencing that the insurance requirements of this Article have been met and shall forward such certificates to Landlord on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which the subtenant or other occupant or any of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents, invitees or representatives first enters the Premises or (ii) the commencement of the sublease. Tenant shall be responsible for identifying and remedying any deficiencies in such certificates or policy provisions.
13.10 No Violation of Building Policies
Tenant shall not commit or permit any violation of the policies of fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance covering the Complex and/or the fixtures, equipment and property therein carried by Landlord, or do or permit anything to be done, or keep or permit anything to be kept, in the Premises, which in case of any of the foregoing (i) would result in termination of any such policies, (ii) would adversely affect Landlord's right of recovery under any of such policies, or (iii) would result in reputable and independent insurance companies refusing to insure the Complex or the property of Landlord in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
13.11 Tenant to Pay Premium Increases
If, because of anything done, caused or permitted to be done, or omitted by Tenant (or its subtenant or other occupants of the Premises), the rates for liability, fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance on the Building or the Complex shall be higher than they otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord and/or the other Complex Owner(s) for the additional insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord or by such other Complex Owner(s) which shall have been charged because of the aforesaid reasons, such reimbursement to be made from time to time on Landlord's demand.
13.12 Landlord's Insurance
(a) Required insurance. Landlord shall maintain (i) insurance against loss or damage with respect to the Building on an “all risk” type insurance form, with customary exceptions, subject to such deductibles as Landlord may reasonably determine, in an amount equal to at least the replacement value of the Building, (ii) insurance with respect to any improvements, alterations, and fixtures of Tenant located at the Premises to the extent paid for by Landlord, and (iii) commercial general liability coverage with respect to the Property with the same minimum limits required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Section 13.3 above of this Lease. Any and all such insurance (x) may be maintained under a blanket policy affecting other properties of Landlord and/or its affiliated business organizations, (y) may be written with deductibles as reasonably determined by Landlord and (z) shall be included in Landlord's Operating Expenses in accordance with Section 7.5. Such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance
71
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
company selected by Landlord. Payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord.
(b) Optional insurance. Landlord may maintain such additional insurance with respect to the Building and the Complex, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance, terrorism insurance, flood insurance, liability insurance and/or rent insurance, as Landlord may in its sole discretion elect. Landlord may also maintain such other insurance as may from time to time be required by the holder of any mortgage on the Building or the Complex. The cost of all such additional insurance shall also be part of the Landlord's Operating Expenses.
(c) Blanket and self-insurance. Any or all of Landlord's insurance may be provided by blanket coverage maintained by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under its insurance program for its portfolio of properties, or by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under a program of self-insurance, and in such event Landlord's Operating Expenses shall include the portion of the reasonable cost of blanket insurance or self-insurance that is allocated to the Building. Any deductibles and such self-insured retentions shall be deemed to be “insurance” for purposes of the waiver in Section 13.13 below and for purposes of Landlord's obligations under Article XIV below.
(d) No obligation. Landlord shall not be obligated to insure, and shall not assume any liability of risk of loss for, Tenant's Property, including any such property or work of Tenant's subtenants or occupants. Landlord will also have no obligation to carry insurance against, nor be responsible for, any loss suffered by Tenant, subtenants or other occupants due to interruption of Tenant's or any subtenant's or occupant's business.
13.13 Waiver of Subrogation
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties hereto waive and release any 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, and in the case of Landlord, against all “Tenant Parties” (hereinafter defined), and in the case of Tenant, against all “Landlord Parties” (hereinafter defined), for any loss or damage incurred by the waiving/releasing party to the extent such loss or damage is insured under any property insurance policy required by this Lease or which would have been so insured had the party carried the property insurance it was required to carry hereunder. Tenant shall obtain from its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises a similar waiver and release of claims against any or all of Tenant or Landlord. In addition, the parties hereto (and in the case of Tenant, its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises) 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
72
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
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.
The term “Landlord Party” or “Landlord Parties” shall mean Landlord, any affiliate of Landlord, Landlord's managing agents for the Building, each mortgagee (if any), each ground lessor (if any), and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents or representatives. For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Tenant Party” or “Tenant Parties” shall mean Tenant, any affiliate of Tenant, any permitted subtenant or any other permitted occupant of the Premises, and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents, invitees or representatives.
13.14 Tenant's Work
During such times as Tenant is performing work or having work or services performed in or to the Premises, Tenant shall require its contractors, and their subcontractors of all tiers, to obtain and maintain commercial general liability, automobile, workers compensation, employer's liability, builder's risk, and equipment/property insurance in such amounts and on such terms as are customarily required of such contractors and subcontractors on similar projects. The amounts and terms of all such insurance are subject to Landlord's written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by Tenant's contractors and their subcontractors of all tiers pursuant to this section shall name Landlord and the Additional Insureds as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to their work or services (collectively “Additional Insureds”). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord, Landlord's managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured. Tenant shall obtain and submit to Landlord, prior to the earlier of (i) the entry onto the Premises by such contractors or subcontractors or (ii) commencement of the work or services, certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with the requirements of this section.
13.15 Landlord's Indemnity
Subject to the limitations in Sections 13.2 and 13.13 of this Article and in Section 16.24, and to the extent not resulting from the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, any Tenant Party or any of their respective contractors, licensees, invitees, agents, servants or employees, Landlord agrees to indemnify and save harmless Tenant and the Tenant Parties from and against any claims of whatever nature by a third party arising from any injury to any person or property damage occurring in or at the Property after the Commencement Date and until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, to the extent such injury results from the performance of the Landlord's Work or from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees or contractors, or from any breach or default by Landlord in the performance or observance
73
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
of its covenants or obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall the aforesaid indemnity render Landlord responsible or liable for any loss or damage to fixtures, personal property or other property of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be liable for any indirect or consequential damages. Tenant shall provide notice of any such third party claim to Landlord as soon as practicable. Landlord shall have the right, but not the duty, to defend the claim. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to indemnify Tenant for any claims to the extent that Tenant's damages result from the negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Lease by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties. The terms of this Section 13.15 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Lease. The foregoing indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity for all costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Tenant in connection with any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof. In addition, in the event that any action or proceeding shall be brought against Tenant by reason of any such claim. Landlord shall resist and defend such action or proceeding on behalf of Tenant by counsel appointed by Landlord's insurer (if such claim is covered by insurance without reservation) or otherwise by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. Tenant shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of Tenant.
ARTICLE XIV
Fire, Casualty and Taking
14.1 Damage Resulting from Casualty
In case during the Lease Term the Building or the Property are damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall within sixty (60) days after the occurrence thereof, subject to Force Majeure and/or delays caused by Tenant, notify Tenant in writing of Landlord's reasonable estimate of the length of time necessary to repair or restore such fire or casualty damage from the time that repair work would commence (“Landlord's Restoration Estimate”). If the Building is materially damaged by fire or casualty, and such fire or casualty damage cannot, in the ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days from the time that repair work would commence as reasonably determined by Landlord, Landlord may, at its election, terminate this Lease by notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, specifying the effective date of termination, provided,' however, that Landlord shall only be permitted to terminate this Lease on account of such damage if Landlord terminates the leases of at least 75% of the office tenants in the Building similarly affected by the casualty (where Landlord has a termination right thereunder). The effective date of termination specified by Landlord shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than forty-five (45) days after the date of notice of such termination. Unless terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect following any such damage subject, however, to the following provisions.
74
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
If the Premises is materially damaged and Landlord's Restoration Estimate exceeds two hundred ten (210) days from the time that repair work would commence, Tenant may, at its election, terminate this Lease by notice given to Landlord within ten (10) business days after the receipt of Landlord's Restoration Estimate, specifying the effective date of termination. The effective date of termination specified by Tenant shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than forty-five (45) days after the date of notice of such termination.
If during the last Lease Year of the Lease Term (as it may have been extended), the Building shall be damaged by fire or casualty and such fire or casualty damage to the Premises cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired or restored within one hundred twenty (120) days from the time that repair or restoration work would commence as reasonably determined by Landlord, then Tenant shall have the right, by giving notice to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days after such damage, to terminate this Lease, whereupon this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.
If the Building or any part thereof is damaged by fire or casualty and this Lease is not so terminated, or Landlord has no right to terminate this Lease, and in either such case the holder of any mortgage which includes the Building as a part of the mortgaged premises or any ground lessor of any ground lease which includes the Building as part of the demised premises allows the net insurance proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the Building, Landlord, promptly after such damage and the determination of the net amount of insurance proceeds available shall use due diligence to restore the Premises and the Building in the event of damage thereto (excluding Tenant's Property (as defined in Section 13.4 hereof), except as expressly provided in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 14.1) into proper condition for the lawful and safe use and occupation and a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent, the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and Landlord's Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises according to the nature and extent of the injury to the Premises shall be abated from the date of casualty until the date that is thirty (30) days following the date that the Premises shall have been put by Landlord substantially into such condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for such repairs and restoration any amount in excess of the net insurance proceeds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is proceeding with the restoration of the Building and the Premises in accordance with the previous paragraph, Landlord shall also restore any alterations, additions or improvements within the Premises that are part of Tenant's Property (x) which have previously been approved by Landlord in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease and (y) with respect to which Tenant has carried “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage in accordance with Section 13.4 below and pays the proceeds of such insurance (or an amount equivalent thereto) to Landlord within five (5) business days following Landlord's written request); provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be required to fund any insufficiency in the insurance proceeds (or equivalent amount) provided by Tenant with respect to such loss
75
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
or damage (or to fund any of the costs of restoration in the absence of any payment by Tenant).
Where Landlord is obligated or otherwise elects to effect restoration of the Premises, unless such restoration is completed within one (1) year from the date of the casualty, such period to be subject, however, to extension where the delay in completion of such work is due to Force Majeure, as defined hereinbelow (but in no event beyond eighteen (18) months from the date of the casualty or taking). Tenant, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time after the expiration of such one-year (as extended) period until the restoration is substantially completed, such termination to take effect as of the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of receipt by Landlord of Tenant's notice, with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof unless, within such thirty (30) day period such restoration is substantially completed, in which case Tenant's notice of termination shall be of no force and effect and this Lease and the Lease Term shall continue in full force and effect. The term “Force Majeure” shall mean any prevention, delay or stoppage due to governmental regulation, strikes, lockouts, acts of God, acts of war, terrorists acts, civil commotions, unusual scarcity of or inability to obtain labor or materials, labor difficulties, casualty or other causes reasonably beyond a party's control or attributable to the action or inaction of the other party.
In the event of any casualty to the parking facilities on the Property that results in Tenant's inability to use the Number of Parking Spaces set forth in Section 1.2 of this Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with the right to use an equivalent number of the lost parking spaces within a reasonable proximity to the Building within ninety (90) days following the date of such casualty.
14.2 Uninsured Casualty
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if the Building or the Premises shall be substantially damaged by fire or casualty as the result of a risk not covered by the forms of casualty insurance at the time maintained (or required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of this Lease) by Landlord and such fire or casualty damage cannot, in the ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days from the time that repair work would commence, Landlord may, at its election, terminate the Term of this Lease by notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after such loss. If Landlord shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.
14.3 Rights of Termination for Taking
If the entire Building, or such portion thereof as to render the balance (if reconstructed to the maximum extent practicable in the circumstances) unsuitable for Tenant's purposes, shall be taken by condemnation or right of eminent domain, Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to the other of its desire to do so, provided that such notice is given not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant has been deprived of
76
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
such possession. If either party shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof. In addition, if twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the parking facilities on the Property shall be taken by condemnation or right of eminent domain and Landlord is unable to provide Tenant, within ninety (90) days after the effective date of such taking, with a substitute location for parking (at the Number of Parking Spaces set forth in Section 1.2) within a reasonable proximity to the Building, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord of its desire to do so, provided that such notice is given no earlier than ninety (90) nor later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of such taking.
Further, if so much of the Building or the Complex shall be so taken that continued operation of the Building would be uneconomic, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant of Landlord's desire to do so not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant has been deprived of possession of the Premises (or such portion thereof as may be taken). If Landlord shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.
Should any part of the Premises be so taken or condemned during the Lease Term hereof, and should this Lease not be terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the holder of any mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises or any ground lessor of any ground lease which includes the Premises as part of the demised premises allows the net condemnation proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the Building, Landlord agrees that after the determination of the net amount of condemnation proceeds available to Landlord, Landlord shall use due diligence to put what may remain of the Premises into proper condition for use and occupation as nearly like the condition of the Premises prior to such taking as shall be practicable (excluding Tenant's Property). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for such repair and restoration any amount in excess of the net condemnation proceeds made available to it.
If the Premises shall be affected by any exercise of the power of eminent domain and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall terminate this Lease as provided above, then the Annual Fixed Rent, Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and Landlord's Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises shall be justly and equitably abated and reduced according to the nature and extent of the loss of use thereof suffered by Tenant; and in case of a taking which permanently reduces the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises, a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent, Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and Landlord's Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises shall be abated for the remainder of the Lease Term.
14.4 Award
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 14.4, Landlord shall have and hereby reserves and excepts, and Tenant hereby grants and assigns to Landlord, all rights to recover for damages to the Building, the Complex, and the Garage and the leasehold
77
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
interest hereby created, and compensation accrued or hereafter to accrue by reason of such taking, damage or destruction, as aforesaid, and by way of confirming the foregoing, Tenant hereby grants and assigns, and covenants with Landlord to grant and assign to Landlord, all rights to such damages or compensation.
However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in any such proceedings a claim for its trade fixtures so taken or relocation, moving and other dislocation expenses, and the unamortized cost of leasehold improvements and Alterations paid for by Tenant, including, the Tenant's Work to the extent not paid for out of the Landlord's Contribution, provided that such action shall not affect the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the taking authority.
ARTICLE XV

15.1 Tenant's Default
This Lease and the term of this Lease are subject to the limitation that Tenant shall be in default if, at any time during the Lease Term, any one or more of the following events (herein called an “Event of Default” a “default of Tenant” or similar reference) shall occur and not be cured prior to the expiration of the grace period (if any) herein provided, as follows:
(a) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the Annual Fixed Rent, or any Additional Rent or any other monetary amount due under this Lease on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord thereof; or

(c) Tenant shall assign its interest in this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises in violation of the requirements of Article XII of this Lease and the same continues for fifteen (15) business days after written notice from Landlord thereof; or
(d) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe some term or condition of this Lease which, because of its character, would immediately jeopardize Landlord's interest (such as, but without limitation, failure to maintain general liability insurance, or the employment of labor and contractors within the Premises which interfere with Landlord's work, in violation of Sections 9.3, 11.2 or 11.10 or Exhibit B or a failure to observe the
78
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
requirements of Section 11.2), and such failure continues for three (3) business days after notice from Landlord to Tenant thereof; or
(e) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other requirement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease (not hereinabove in this Section 15.1 specifically referred to) on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, or if said default shall reasonably require longer than thirty (30) days to cure, if Tenant shall fail to commence to cure said default within thirty (30) days after notice thereof and/or fail to continuously prosecute the curing of the same to completion with due diligence; or
(f) Tenant's estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law and shall remain undismissed or unstayed for ninety (90) days; or
(g) Tenant shall make a general assignment or trust mortgage arrangement, so-called, of a material portion of its assets for the benefit of its creditors; or
(h) Tenant shall judicially be declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law; or
(i) a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or other similar officer is appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of Tenant's property by a court of competent jurisdiction; or
(j) any petition shall be filed against Tenant in any court, whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or of any State, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceeding, and such proceedings shall not be fully and finally dismissed within sixty (60) days after the institution of the same; or
(k) Tenant shall file any petition in any court, whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or any State, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceeding; or
(l) Tenant otherwise abandons or vacates the Premises and leaves the same in an unsafe condition or in a manner that detracts from the first class appearance of the Building (and taking into consideration that Tenant is not actively operating business in the Premises).
15.2 Termination: Re-Entry
Upon the happening of any one or more of the aforementioned Events of Default (notwithstanding any license of a former breach of covenant or waiver of the benefit
79
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
hereof or consent in a former instance), Landlord or Landlord's agents or servants may give to Tenant a notice (hereinafter called “notice of termination”) terminating this Lease on a date specified in such notice of termination (which shall be not less than five (5) days after the date of the mailing of such notice of termination), and this Lease and the Lease Term, as well as any and all of the right, title and interest of the Tenant hereunder, shall wholly cease and expire on the date set forth in such notice of termination (Tenant hereby waiving any rights of redemption) in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally specified herein for the expiration of the Lease Term, and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord.
Upon a termination of this Lease, Landlord or Landlord's agents or servants may, by any suitable action or proceeding at law, immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Premises and remove therefrom Tenant, its agents, employees, servants, licensees, and any subtenants and other persons, and all or any of its or their property therefrom, and repossess and enjoy the Premises, together with all additions, alterations and improvements thereto; but, in any event under this Section 15.2, Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.
The words “re-enter” and “re-entry” as used throughout this Article XV are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.
15.3 Continued Liability; Re-Letting
If this Lease is terminated or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as aforesaid, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of an Event of Default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees forthwith to pay and be liable for, on the days originally fixed herein for the payment thereof, amounts equal to the several installments of Annual Fixed Rent, all Additional Rent and other charges reserved as they would, under the terms of this Lease, become due if this Lease had not been terminated or if Landlord had not entered or re-entered, as aforesaid, and whether the Premises be relet or remain vacant, in whole or in part, or for a period less than the remainder of the Lease Term, or for the whole thereof, but, in the event the Premises be relet by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the net amount of rent and other charges received by Landlord in reletting, after deduction of all reasonable expenses incurred in reletting the Premises (including, without limitation, remodeling costs, brokerage fees and the like), and in collecting the rent in connection therewith, in the following manner:
Amounts received by Landlord after reletting shall first be applied against such Landlord's expenses, until the same are recovered, and until such recovery, Tenant shall pay, as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, the amount which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease (Tenant's liability prior to any such reletting and such recovery not in any way to be diminished as a result of the fact that such reletting might be for a rent higher than the rent provided for in this Lease); when and if such expenses have been completely recovered, the amounts received from reletting by Landlord as have
80
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
not previously been applied shall be credited against Tenant's obligations as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, and only the net amount thereof shall be payable by Tenant. Further, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit of any kind for any period after the date when the term of this Lease is scheduled to expire according to its terms.
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after Tenant vacates the same in the event this Lease is terminated based upon an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder. The marketing of the Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord and its affiliates markets other premises within Landlord's or its affiliates' control in the Market Area shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord's obligation to use “reasonable efforts” hereunder. In no event shall Landlord be required to (i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenant for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises (including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant), (ii) relet the Premises before leasing other vacant space in the Building, or (iii) lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar office space in the Building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall not be entitled to accelerate any portion of the Annual Fixed Rent or any Additional Rent payable under this Lease on account of a Default of Tenant or termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises except as expressly set forth Section 15.4 below.
15.4 Liquidated Damages
Landlord may elect, as an alternative, to have Tenant pay liquidated damages, which election may be made by notice given to Tenant not later than twelve (12) months after the effective termination date of this Lease under Section 15.2, above, and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any damages as hereinbefore provided in this Article XV, and in lieu of all other such damages beyond the date of such notice. Upon such notice, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, in addition to any damages collected or due from Tenant from any period prior to such notice and all expenses which Landlord may have incurred with respect to the collection of such damages, such a sum as at the time of such notice represents the amount of the excess, if any, of (a) the discounted present value, using the Federal Reserve discount rate (or equivalent), of the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have been payable by Tenant under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term if the Lease terms had been fully complied with by Tenant, over and above (b) the discounted present value, using the Federal Reserve discount rate (or equivalent), of the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges that would be received by Landlord if the Premises were re-leased at the time of such notice for the remainder of the Lease Term at the fair market value (including provisions regarding periodic increases in Annual Fixed Rent if such are applicable) prevailing at the time of such notice as reasonably determined by Landlord.
81
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
For the purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay liquidated damages in accordance with this Section 15.4, the total rent shall be computed by assuming the Landlord's Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises under Section 6.2 and the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises under Section 7.5 to be the same as were payable for the twelve (12) calendar months (or if less than twelve (12) calendar months have been elapsed since the date hereof, the partial year) immediately preceding such termination of re-entry.
Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceeds in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.
15.5 Waiver of Redemption
Tenant, for itself and any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including its creditors, upon the termination of this Lease and of the term of this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of entry of judgment for the recovery of the possession of the Premises in any action or proceeding, or if Landlord shall enter the Premises by process of law or otherwise, hereby waives any right of redemption provided or permitted by any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force, and does hereby waive, surrender and give up all rights or privileges which it or they may or might have under and by reason of any present or future law or decision, to redeem the Premises or for a continuation of this Lease for the term of this Lease hereby demised after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law, or otherwise.
15.6 Landlord's Default
Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord's obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (ten (10) business days in the event of non-payment of a monetary obligation of Landlord to Tenant), or such additional time as is commercially reasonably required to correct any such default, after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation.
Except to the extent expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against the Landlord from rent thereafter due and payable, but shall look solely to the Landlord for satisfaction of such claim as provided in Section 16.24 of this Lease.
ARTICLE XVI
Miscellaneous Provisions
16.1 Waiver
82
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Failure on the part of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any action or non-action on the part of the other, no matter how long the same may continue, shall never be a waiver by Tenant or Landlord, respectively, of any of its rights hereunder.
Further, no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by Landlord or Tenant shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant to or of any action by the other requiring such consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's or Tenant's consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by the other.
No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated otherwise than as a payment on account. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant. Further, the acceptance by Landlord of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charges paid by Tenant under this Lease shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any default by Tenant, whether or not Landlord knows of such default, except for such defaults as to which such payment relates.
16.2 Cumulative Remedies
Except as expressly provided in this Lease, the specific remedies to which Landlord and Tenant may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress which they may be lawfully entitled to seek in case of any breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to seek specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed as a confession of judgment by Tenant.
16.3 Quiet Enjoyment
This Lease is subject and subordinate to all matters of record, provided that, except with respect to the Overlease, the Declaration or any mortgages which shall be governed by Section 16.13 and Section 16.12 of this Lease, respectively, any such future matters of record to which this Lease is subject and subordinate shall not have any Tenant Adverse Impact. Landlord agrees that, upon Tenant's paying the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges herein reserved, and performing and observing the covenants, conditions and agreements hereof upon the part of Tenant to be performed and observed, and so long as an Event of Default by Tenant is not in existence under this Lease, Tenant shall and may peaceably hold and enjoy the Premises during the term of this Lease (exclusive of any period during which Tenant is holding over after the expiration or
83
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
termination of this Lease without the consent of Landlord), without interruption or disturbance from Overlandlord or Landlord or persons claiming through or under Overlandlord or Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease. This covenant shall be construed as running with the land to and against subsequent owners and successors in interest, and is not, nor shall it operate or be construed as, a personal covenant of Landlord, except to the extent of the Landlord's interest in the Premises, and this covenant and any and all other covenants of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and upon such subsequent owners or successors in interest of Landlord's interest under this Lease, including ground or master lessees, to the extent of their respective interests, as and when they shall acquire same and then only for so long as they shall retain such interest.
16.4 Surrender
(A) No act or thing done by Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord's agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Premises as an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the delivery of keys to Landlord or its agents in its (or their) capacity as managing agent or for purpose of emergency access. In any event, however, the delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord's agents shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
(B) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition as required by Sections 8.1 and 9.5, first removing all goods and effects of Tenant and completing such other removals as may be permitted or required pursuant to Section 9.5.
16.5 Brokerage
(A) Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the broker, person or firm designated in Section 1.2 hereof (the “Broker”); and in the event any claim is made against the Landlord relative to dealings by Tenant with brokers other than the Broker, Tenant shall defend the claim against Landlord with counsel of Tenant's selection first approved by Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim.
(B) Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the Broker; and in the event any claim is made against the Tenant relative to dealings by Landlord with brokers including the Broker, Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Landlord's selection first approved by Tenant (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of
84
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to the Broker for the Original Lease Term pursuant to a separate written agreement between Landlord and such Brokers.
16.6 Invalidity of Particular Provisions
If any term or provision of this Lease, including but not limited to any waiver of contribution or claims, indemnity, obligation, or limitation of liability or of damages, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
16.7 Provisions Binding, Etc.
The obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and except as herein otherwise provided, the terms hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant and, if Tenant shall be an individual, upon and to his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Each term and each provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant or Landlord shall be construed to be both a covenant and a condition. The reference contained to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to assignment by Tenant, but has reference only to those instances in which Landlord may have later given consent to a particular assignment as required by the provisions of Article XII hereof and for those assignments to a Permitted Transferee for which Landlord's consent is expressly not required pursuant to Section 12.5 of this Lease.
16.8 Recording; Confidentiality
Landlord and Tenant agree not to record the within Lease, but simultaneously with their execution and delivery of this Lease to execute and deliver a Notice of Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L. In no event shall such document set forth the rent or other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the provisions contained in this Lease, and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this Lease.
Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees that this Lease and the terms contained herein will be treated as strictly confidential and except as required by law (or except with the written consent of the other) it shall not disclose the economic or other material terms (excluding the general existence of the Lease) of this Lease or any material details pertaining to the other party's business to any third party except for its advisors, brokers, partners, lenders, accountants, attorneys, and to prospective investors, lenders, assignees and subtenants who have been advised of the confidentiality provisions contained herein and have agreed to be bound thereby. In the event either party is required by law to provide this Lease or disclose any of its terms, the disclosing party shall give the other
85
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
party prompt notice of such requirement prior to making disclosure so that such other party may seek an appropriate protective order; provided, however, that the requirements set forth in this sentence shall not apply to the initial disclosure of this Lease pursuant to Tenant's or Guarantor's Form 10Q or Form l0K filings. If failing the entry of a protective order the disclosing party is compelled to make disclosure, the disclosing party shall only disclose portions of the Lease which such party is required to disclose and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the information so disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord will and may report financial information regarding rents and other information about Building operations and revenues to (among others) analysts, regulatory authorities and prospective buyers, investors and lenders, and the financial terms of this Lease may be included in a consolidated manner with such information, provided, however, that except for the submission of the rent roll for the Building, such information will not specifically identify Tenant.
16.9 Notices and Time for Action
Whenever, by the terms of this Lease, notice shall or may be given either to Landlord or to Tenant, such notices shall be in writing and shall be sent by recognized overnight or other commercial courier with receipted proof of delivery and with postage or delivery charges, as the case may be, prepaid as follows:
If intended for Landlord, addressed to Landlord at the address set forth in Article 1 of this Lease (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Landlord by like notice) with a copy to Landlord, Attention: Regional General Counsel.
If intended for Tenant, addressed to Tenant at the address set forth in Article I of this Lease except that from and after the Commencement Date the address of Tenant shall be the Premises (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Tenant by like notice), with a copy to Eric R. Allon, Esquire, Bemkopf Goodman LLP, Two Seaport Lane, 9th Floor, Boston, MA 02210.
Except as otherwise provided herein, all such notices shall be effective when received; provided, that (i) if receipt is refused, notice shall be effective upon the first occasion that such receipt is refused, (ii) if the notice is unable to be delivered due to a change of address of which no notice was given, notice shall be effective upon the date such delivery was attempted, (iii) if the notice address is a post office box number, notice shall be effective the day after such notice is sent as provided hereinabove or (iv) if the notice is to a foreign address, notice shall be effective two (2) days after such notice is sent as provided hereinabove.
Where provision is made for the attention of an individual or department, the notice shall be effective only if the wrapper in which such notice is sent is addressed to the attention of such individual or department.
86
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Any notice given by an attorney on behalf of Landlord or by Landlord's managing agent shall be considered as given by Landlord and shall be fully effective. Any notice given by an attorney on behalf of Tenant shall be considered as given by Tenant and shall be fully effective.
Time is of the essence with respect to any and all notices and periods for giving of notice or taking any action thereto under this Lease.
16.10 When Lease Becomes Binding and Authority
Employees or agents of Landlord have no authority to make or agree to make a lease or any other agreement or undertaking in connection herewith. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant. All negotiations, considerations, representations and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and may be modified or altered only by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord or Tenant shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions hereof. Landlord and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to the other that all necessary action has been taken to enter this Lease and that the person signing this Lease on behalf of Landlord and Tenant has been duly authorized to do so.
16.11 Paragraph Headings
The paragraph headings throughout this instrument are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this Lease.
16.12 Rights of Mortgagee
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage hereafter on the Building or the Property and/or Landlord's interest in the Overlease and to each advance made or hereafter to be made under any mortgage, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and all substitutions therefore, provided, however, that in consideration of and as a condition precedent to Tenant's agreement to subordinate this Lease with respect to mortgages hereafter placed on the Building or the Property by Landlord shall be the receipt by Tenant of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “Lender SNDA”) for the benefit of Tenant on a mutually agreeable form and with commercially reasonable terms and qualifications from and wherein the applicable mortgagee expressly recognizes the rights and benefits of Tenant and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease and further provides that, so long as there is no Event of Default of Tenant in existence, Tenant's occupancy will not be disturbed. In the event that any mortgagee or its respective successor in title shall succeed to the interest of Landlord, then, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall and does hereby agree to attorn to such mortgagee or successor and to recognize such mortgagee or successor as its
87
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
landlord. If any holder of a mortgage which includes the Premises, executed and recorded prior to the date of this Lease, shall so elect, this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder, shall be superior in right to the rights of such holder, with the same force and effect as if this Lease had been executed, delivered and recorded, or a statutory notice hereof recorded, prior to the execution, delivery and recording of any such mortgage. The election of any such holder shall become effective upon either notice from such holder to Tenant in the same fashion as notices from Landlord to Tenant are to be given hereunder or by the recording in the appropriate registry or recorder's office of an instrument in which such holder subordinates its rights under such mortgage to this Lease.
Landlord hereby represents that as of the date of this Lease, there is no mortgage or ground lease currently encumbering the Building or the Property, except for the Overlease.
If in connection with obtaining financing a bank, insurance company, pension trust or other institutional lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant's rights hereunder.
16.13 Rights of Ground Lessor
This Lease is subject and subordinate to the Overlease and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, provided, however, such subordination shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (the “Overlease SNDA”) in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto and Landlord, Tenant and Overlandlord shall, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease, execute and deliver the Overlease SNDA.
If Landlord's interest in property (whether land only or land and buildings) which includes the Premises is acquired by another party and simultaneously leased back to Landlord herein, the holder of the ground lessor's interest in such lease shall enter into a mutually agreeable recognition agreement with Tenant simultaneously with the sale and leaseback, wherein the ground lessor will agree to recognize this Lease and the rights granted to Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant's right to use and occupy the Premises and the appurtenant rights granted under this Lease so long as there is no Event of Default of Tenant under this Lease, and wherein Tenant shall agree to attorn to such ground lessor as its Landlord and to perform and observe all of the tenant obligations hereunder, in the event such ground lessor succeeds to the interest of Landlord hereunder under such ground lease and assumes the obligations of Landlord under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Overlease SNDA shall govern with respect to the Overlease.
16.14 Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Lessor
88
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
After receiving notice from any person, firm or other entity that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord as ground lessee, which includes the Premises as a part of the leased premises, no notice of a default from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such holder or ground lessor at the address as specified in said notice (as it may from time to time be changed), and, subject to the terms mutually agreed to in a Lender SNDA with the holder or in a recognition agreement with the ground lessor, as applicable, the curing of any of Landlord's defaults by such holder or ground lessor within a reasonable time after such notice (including a reasonable time to obtain possession of the premises if the mortgagee or ground lessor elects to do so) shall be treated as performance by Landlord. For the purposes of this Section 16.14, the term “mortgage” includes a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not one on Tenant's leasehold interest). If any mortgage is listed on Exhibit I then the same shall constitute notice from the holder of such mortgage for the purposes of this Section 16.14.
16.15 Assignment of Rents
With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord's interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage or ground lease on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of any Lender SNDA then in effect and the terms of the Overlease SNDA:
(a) That the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage, or the ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder, or ground lessor, shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect or upon foreclosure of such holder's mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises, or, in the case of a ground lessor, the assumption of Landlord's position hereunder by such ground lessor.
In no event shall the acquisition of title to the Building and the land on which the same is located by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases the entire Building or such land back to the seller thereof be treated as an assumption, by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord's obligations hereunder, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, and its successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord's obligations hereunder. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lease to such purchaser provided that such purchaser-lessor agrees in a written non-disturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to Tenant to recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease, including the right of Tenant to use and occupy the Premises and the appurtenant rights granted to Tenant so long as there is no Event of Default under this Lease. For all purposes, such seller-lessee, and its successors in title, shall be the landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord's position shall have been assumed by such purchaser-lessor. Tenant acknowledges that it has been informed by Landlord that Landlord has entered into certain agreements with its lenders (“Lenders”) which require
89
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
it to include in this Lease (and requires Tenant to include in any sublease which may be permitted hereunder) the following provisions: (i) no rent payable under this Lease or under any such sublease may be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Premises or any subleased premises except for percentage rent based on gross (not net) receipts or sales; (ii) if Lenders succeed to the Landlord's interests under this Lease and are advised by Lenders' counsel that all or any portion of the rent payable under this Lease is or may be deemed to be unrelated business income within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of the 1986, as amended, or the regulations issued thereunder, Lenders may elect to amend unilaterally the calculation of rents under this Lease so that none of the rents payable to Lenders under this Lease will constitute unrelated business income, provided that such amendment will not increase the Tenant's payment obligations or other liability under this Lease or reduce the Landlord's obligations under this Lease; and (iii) if Lenders request, Tenant will be obligated to execute any document Lenders may deem necessary to effect the amendment of this Lease in accordance with the foregoing subsection (ii). Further, no Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent may be paid by Tenant more than thirty (30) days in advance except with Lenders' prior written consent, and any such payment without such consent shall not be binding on Lenders.
16.16 Status Report and Financial Statements
Recognizing that Landlord may find it necessary to establish to third parties, such as accountants, banks, potential or existing mortgagees, potential purchasers or the like, the then current status of performance hereunder, Tenant, within fifteen (15) business days after the request of Landlord made from time to time, will within fifteen (15) business days after such request furnish to Landlord, or any existing or potential holder of any mortgage encumbering the Premises, the Building or the Complex, or any potential purchaser of the Premises, the Building, or the Complex (each an “Interested Party”) a statement of the status of any matter pertaining to this Lease, including, without limitation, acknowledgments that (or the extent to which) each party is in compliance with its obligations under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, or any Interested Party designated by Landlord, upon Landlord's written request given not more than once in any 12-month period and subject to the provisions of Section 16.8 of this Lease, the most recent audited financial statements of Tenant (for Tenant's North American business) and Guarantor (which financial statements of Guarantor may be on a consolidated basis), as requested by Landlord, or if Tenant or Guarantor does not have its financials audited, Tenant shall provide financial statements certified by a senior member of the finance team of Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable, including, but not limited to, a balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statements which financial statements shall include sufficient detail and information for Landlord to assess Tenant's or Guarantor's, as applicable, financial condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Guarantor's stock is publicly traded on a national exchange (or publicly listed in an equivalent manner, such as on NASDAQ) that requires its financial statements to be publicly disclosed and Tenant remains a consolidated subsidiary of Guarantor, Tenant shall have no obligation to deliver any financial statements of Tenant or Guarantor to Landlord. Any such status statement or financial statement delivered by Tenant pursuant to this Section 16.16 may be relied upon by any Interested Party.
90
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Landlord shall keep any non-public information provided by Tenant pursuant to this Section 16.16 strictly confidential and shall not disclose the same other than (i) to Landlord’s officers, employees and consultants (or to any of the Interested Parties) provided such parties are informed of the confidentiality provisions of this Lease, or (ii) to the extent required by applicable law or by any administrative, governmental or judicial proceeding.
At Tenant’s request, Landlord shall similarly within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant’s request, furnish to Tenant a commercially reasonable statement with similar types of information as set forth above, which statement may be relied upon by any actual or prospective assignee, subtenant, lender or purchaser of Tenant.
16.17 Self-Help
(A) If Tenant shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any act which Tenant is obligated to make or perform under this Lease and (except in the case of emergency) if the same continues unpaid or unperformed beyond applicable notice and cure periods, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated so to do, after ten (10) days’ notice to and demand upon Tenant, or without notice to or demand upon Tenant in the case of any emergency, and without waiving, or releasing Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained, make such payment or perform such act which Tenant is obligated to perform under this Lease in such manner and to such extent as may be reasonably necessary, and, in exercising any such rights, pay any costs and expenses, employ counsel and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of Landlord incidental thereto, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate (as defined in Section 16.21), from the date of the making of such expenditures by Landlord, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent and, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, shall be payable to the Landlord on demand, and if not promptly paid shall be added to any rent then due or thereafter becoming due under this Lease, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums with interest as aforesaid, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Annual Fixed Rent.
(B) In the event that Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease (with the exception of Landlord’s obligations to perform the Landlord’s Work under Exhibit B) beyond the expiration of the applicable notice and cure periods provided in Section 15.6 above, then if Landlord or the holder of any such mortgage (at the option of such mortgagee) fails to (i) commence to cure such default within the time periods specified in said Section 15.6 and (ii) thereafter prosecute such cure to completion with due diligence given the nature thereof, then thereafter at any time prior to Landlord’s or such mortgagee’s commencing such cure or subsequent to Landlord or such mortgagee commencing such cure if Landlord or such mortgagee has not prosecuted such cure to completion with due diligence given the nature of such
91
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
cure, Tenant may, but need not (and without limitation of any other rights and remedies to which Tenant may be entitled under this Lease, at law or in equity on account of such default of Landlord), perform such obligation and charge the reasonable cost thereof to Landlord; provided, however, that in the case of emergency or imminent threat to the safety of occupants in the Premises or material property damage within the Premises, Tenant may make such emergency repairs upon such shorter notice to Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee as may be reasonably practicable under the circumstances and charge the reasonable cost thereof to Landlord under this Section 16.17(B). All sums so paid by Tenant (together with interest at the Default Interest Rate) and all costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Tenant shall be payable to Tenant immediately on demand. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for the sums paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s demand therefor (such demand to include reasonable evidence of the costs so incurred by Tenant), and Landlord has not, within ten (10) business days of its receipt of Tenant’s demand, given written notice to Tenant objecting to such demand (or if Landlord has timely disputed Tenant’s demand and has thereafter failed to pay Tenant the amount of any final, unappealable judgment against Landlord within thirty (30) days after the issuance thereof) then subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, Tenant shall have the right to offset the amount of such sums demanded by Tenant against the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Lease until offset in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to reduce any monthly installment of Annual Fixed Rent by more than ten percent (10%) of the amount of Annual Fixed Rent which would otherwise have been due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, unless the aggregate amount of such deductions over the remainder of the Lease Term (as the same may have been extended) will be insufficient to fully reimburse Tenant for the amount demanded by Tenant, in which event Tenant may effect such offset by making deductions from each monthly installment of Annual Fixed Rent in equal monthly amounts over the balance of the remainder of the Lease Term.
16.18 Holding Over
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be treated as a tenancy at sufferance and shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, as far as applicable except that Tenant shall pay as a use and occupancy charge an amount equal to the greater of (x) (i) for the first two (2) months of any such holdover, an amount equal to 125% of the sum of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent (including Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises) calculated (on a daily basis) at the rate payable under the terms of this Lease immediately prior to the commencement of such holdover, (ii) during the third (3rd) month of any such holdover, an amount equal to one hundred seventy five percent (175%) of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent (including Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises) calculated (on a daily basis) at the rate payable under the terms of this Lease immediately prior to the commencement of such holdover, and (iii) thereafter during any such holdover period, an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Annual
92
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Fixed Rent and Additional Rent (including Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises) calculated (on a daily basis) at the rate payable under the terms of this Lease immediately prior to the commencement of such holdover, or (y) the fair market rental value of the Premises; in each case for the period measured from the day on which Tenant’s hold-over commences and terminating on the day on which Tenant vacates the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall save Landlord, its agents and employees harmless and will indemnify and defend Landlord, its agents and employees from and against any and all damages which Landlord may suffer on account of Tenant’s hold-over in the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the Term of this Lease; provided, however, Tenant shall not be liable for indirect or consequential damages suffered by Landlord on account of any such holding over by Tenant unless such holding over continues for more than ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Term of this Lease. Nothing in the foregoing nor any other term or provision of this Lease shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises or hold over in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. All property which remains in the Building or the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be conclusively deemed to be abandoned and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any part thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option against the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any arrears of rent or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease and at law and in equity.
16.19 Entry by Landlord
Landlord, and its duly authorized representatives, shall, upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of emergency), have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times (except at any time in the case of emergency) for the purposes of inspecting the condition of same and, subject to Section 16.17 hereof, making such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements thereto as may be necessary if Tenant fails to do so as required hereunder (but the Landlord shall have no duty whatsoever to make any such inspections, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.1, 7.1 and 7.2 and Exhibit B). and to show the Premises to prospective tenants during the fifteen (15) months preceding expiration of the Term of this Lease as it may have been extended (or during the final twenty-four (24) months of the Term if Tenant has no further extension options) and at any reasonable time during the Lease Term upon reasonable prior notice to show the Premises to prospective purchasers and mortgagees. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises during any such entry into the Premises and to schedule any such access hereunder during Tenant’s normal business hours and in the presence of a Tenant representative when feasible, except in the event of an emergency, and any work in any portion of the Premises then occupied by Tenant that would interfere with the operation of a first-class business office (whether due to noise, the creation of dirt or debris, or otherwise) will be performed after the Building’s normal business hours.
16.20 Tenant’s Payments
93
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Each and every payment and expenditure, other than Annual Fixed Rent, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder, whether or not the provisions requiring payment of such amounts specifically so state, and shall be payable, unless otherwise provided in this Lease, within ten (10) business days after written demand by Landlord, and in the case of the non-payment of any such amount, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies, all the rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or by law in the case of non-payment of Annual Fixed Rent. Unless expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the performance and observance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed and observed by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Subject to Tenant’s express rights under Section 7.6 of this Lease, if Tenant has not objected to any statement of Additional Rent which is rendered by Landlord to Tenant within ninety (90) days after Landlord has rendered the same to Tenant, then the same shall be deemed to be a final account between Landlord and Tenant not subject to any further dispute. In the event that Tenant shall seek Landlord’s consent or approval under this Lease (exclusive of consents or approvals pursuant to Exhibit B with respect to Tenant’s Work or Landlord’s Work and except as otherwise specifically addressed in this Lease), then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Rent, for all reasonable costs and expenses, including legal and architectural costs and expenses, incurred by Landlord in processing such request, whether or not such consent or approval shall be given. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), any service required or permitted to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, the charge or cost of which may be treated as impermissible tenant service income under the laws governing a REIT, may be performed by a taxable REIT subsidiary that is affiliated with either Landlord or Landlord’s property manager, an independent contractor of Landlord or Landlord’s property manager (the “Service Provider”). If Tenant is subject to a charge under this Lease for any such service, then, at Landlord’s direction, Tenant will pay such charge either to Landlord for further payment to the Service Provider or directly to the Service Provider, and, in either case, (i) Landlord will credit such payment against Additional Rent due from Tenant under this Lease for such service, and (ii) such payment to the Service Provider will not relieve Landlord from any obligation under the Lease concerning the provisions of such service.
16.21 Late Payment
If Landlord shall not have received any payment or installment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent (the “Outstanding Amount”) on or before the date on which the same first becomes payable under this Lease (the “Due Date”), the amount of such payment or installment shall incur a late charge equal to the sum of: (a) five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Amount for administration and bookkeeping costs associated with the late payment and (b) interest on the Outstanding Amount from the Due Date through and including the date such payment or installment is received by Landlord, at a rate (the “Default Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. (or its successor) from time to time as its prime or base rate (or if such rate is no longer available, a comparable rate reasonably selected by Landlord), plus two percent (2%), or (ii) the maximum applicable legal rate, if any. However, Landlord
94
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
agrees to waive the late charge due hereunder for the first late payment by Tenant under this Lease per calendar year, provided that Landlord receives such payment from Tenant within five (5) business days after written notice of such delinquency is given to Tenant (provided that if such payment is not received within the aforesaid five (5) business day period, interest on the Outstanding Amount will accrue as of the original Due Date). Such late charge and interest shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
16.22 Counterparts

Landlord shall have the right to relocate the Pylon Signage to another area on the Property in connection with any alterations, modifications, realignment or other changes being performed to Tower Road (including the Future Road Infrastructure) so long as such relocated area provides reasonably equivalent visibility of Tenant’s Pylon Signage from Main Street.

(H) If at any time during the Term, one or more members of the Tenant Group shall not fulfill the Signage Occupancy Conditions and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt of a written notice from Landlord, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, direct Tenant to remove the Tenant’s Signage and to effect such repairs as shall be necessary to the affected areas of the Building to restore such areas to the condition thereof prior to the installation of the Tenant’s
101
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Signage, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Any such removal and restoration shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
(I) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all (and at any time prior thereto Tenant may remove any) of Tenant’s Signage at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, restore any damage to the Building caused by such removal.

(K) Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that there are no restrictive covenants or other restrictions affecting the Complex that would prohibit or restrict Landlord from granting to Original Tenant the signage rights set forth in this Section 17.2 and, during the Term and so long as Original Tenant satisfies the Signage Occupancy Conditions (subject to the cure period set forth in Section 17.2(H) above), Landlord will not consent to any voluntary restrictions or prohibitions on the signage rights that may be granted to the Original Tenant under this Lease and which restrictions are not imposed by applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that lease provisions that provide for nonexclusive signage rights in common with Tenant shall not be deemed “restrictions” or “prohibitions” for purposes hereof.
ARTICLE XVIII
EXPANSION OPTIONS
18.1 Expansion Option
(A) Expansion Premises. On the conditions (which conditions Landlord may waive, at its election, by written notice to Tenant at any time) that both at the time that Tenant exercises its expansion option under this Section 18.1 and as of the date upon which the Expansion Premises would have otherwise become incorporated into the Premises: (i) there exists no Event of Default and there have been no more than two (2) Event of Defaults during the Term, (ii) this Lease is still in full force and effect, (iii) Tenant has neither assigned this Lease nor sublet more than the lesser of (y) 50,000 square feet of the Rentable Floor Area of the Primary Premises, and (z) fifty percent (50%) of the Rentable Floor Area of the Primary Premises (except for an assignment or subletting permitted without Landlord’s consent under Section 12.5 hereof), and (iv) Landlord obtains all necessary building and other permits and governmental approvals required to construct the Expansion Premises and the Structured Parking Deck (as hereinafter defined),
102
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Tenant shall have the option to lease the Expansion Premises. Landlord represents that, subject to obtaining all necessary construction and related permits and approvals from the City of Waltham and any other governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property, the Building may be expanded by up to 15,000 rentable square feet under current Legal Requirements in effect as of the Execution Date by converting the covered parking area beneath the Building to interior office space in the Building. In addition, pursuant to that certain Certificate of Notice of Project Change dated January 6, 2015 (the “NPC Certificate”) issued by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, an expansion of the Property to include an additional 25,000 square feet (which 25,000 square feet is inclusive of and not in addition to the 15,000 square feet permitted as of right under current Legal Requirements) will not require any additional review or approval by the Massachusetts Environmental Protection Agency. During the Term, neither Landlord nor Overlandlord will take any action to change the zoning or other Legal Requirements affecting the Property that would undermine the NPC Certificate or Tenant’s express expansion right under this Article XVIII.
“Expansion Premises” means additional area on the first (1st) level of the Building in an amount to be designated by Tenant and containing not less than 15,000 square feet of Rentable Floor Area and, subject to the Permit Approvals (as hereinafter defined), not more than 25,000 square feet of Rentable Floor Area all to be constructed and finished in the location of and by conversion of all or a requisite portion of the existing covered parking area beneath the Building.
(B) Exercise of Rights to Expansion Premises
Tenant may exercise its option to lease the Expansion Premises by giving written notice (“Expansion Request Notice”) to Landlord stating that Tenant is interested in exercising its expansion option for the Expansion Premises and the selected Rentable Floor Area of the Expansion Premises (subject to the size parameters expressly set forth in this Section 18.1). Upon the timely giving of a Expansion Request Notice, Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof, deliver written notice to Tenant (the “Landlord’s Expansion Response”) which sets forth (i) the configuration and rentable square footage of the Expansion Premises, if applicable, (ii) preliminary construction pricing for the construction of the Expansion Premises and the Additional Parking Facility Costs (as hereinafter defined), and (iii) the anticipated commencement date (the “Anticipated Expansion Inclusion Date”) for the Expansion Premises which Anticipated Expansion Inclusion Date shall fall within the Expansion Premises Delivery Window. If Tenant wants to exercise its option to lease the Expansion Premises, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord (“Tenant’s Expansion Exercise Notice”) within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of the Landlord’s Expansion Response (the “Expansion Exercise Date”) that Tenant unconditionally exercises its option under this Section 18.1 to lease the Expansion Premises. If Tenant fails timely to deliver a Expansion Exercise Notice by the Expansion Exercise Date, Tenant shall have no further right to lease such Expansion Premises, time being of the essence of this Section 18.1. Upon the timely giving of a Tenant’s Expansion Exercise Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate an amendment
103
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
to this Lease to memorialize Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Premises, including the Annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant for the Expansion Premises, and Landlord’s obligation to construct the Expansion Premises and provide the additional parking facilities at the Property. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if the Anticipated Expansion Inclusion Date determined by Landlord would occur with less than ten (10) Lease Years remaining in the Lease Term for the Premises, then (a) if Tenant then has the right to extend the term of the Lease pursuant to Section 3.2 which has not either lapsed unexercised or been irrevocably waived, then Tenant shall have no right to exercise its option to lease the Expansion Premises under this Section 18.1 unless Tenant exercises Tenant’s extension option pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Lease prior to, or simultaneously with, the giving of Tenant’s Expansion Exercise Notice (notwithstanding any limitation as to the time of exercise set forth in Section 3.2), in which event the term as to the Expansion Premises shall be co-terminus with the Lease Term as so extended; or (b) if Tenant has no further right to extend the Lease Term, then Tenant shall have no right to lease the Expansion Premises under this Section 18.1. Notwithstanding Tenant’s exercise of its extension option in accordance with the foregoing clause (a), the Annual Fixed Rent for the original Premises for such Extended Term shall be determined at the same time and in the same manner such Annual Fixed Rent would have been determined if Tenant had exercised the extension option within the time periods for such exercise set forth in Section 3.2 of this Lease.
(C) Lease Provisions Applying to Expansion Premises
The leasing to Tenant of the Expansion Premises shall be upon all the same terms and conditions of the Lease except as follows:
(1) Commencement Date and Rent Commencement Date. The Term Commencement Date and Rent Commencement Date in respect of the Expansion Premises shall be the later date to occur of (y) the Anticipated Expansion Inclusion Date, and (z) the date that Landlord delivers the entire Expansion Premises to Tenant pursuant to the requirements of this Article XVIII vacant and free of any occupancy rights, personal property and debris.
(2) Annual Fixed Rent. The Annual Fixed Rent for the Expansion Premises shall be equal to the amount necessary to pay to Landlord an annual rate of return on the "Total Project Costs" (as hereinafter defined) equal to 275 basis points over the average yield on the ten (10) year United States Treasury notes; provided, however, in no event shall the Annual Fixed Rent payable for the Expansion Premises be less than the amount necessary to pay to Landlord an eight percent (8%) per annum rate of return on the "Total Project Costs". The Total Project Costs shall be determined by Landlord before the Commencement Date and Landlord shall notify Tenant of such amount, and promptly thereafter, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the initial annual amount of Basic Rent. If any costs that would properly constitute Total Project Costs are not yet
104
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
determined with certainty as of the Commencement Date, reasonable estimates of such items by Landlord shall be included in the calculation of Total Project Costs to determine the initial Annual Fixed Rent. Upon Landlord's determination of the actual Total Project Costs, Landlord shall submit a statement of the actual Total Project Costs to Tenant and if such amount differs from Landlord's estimate, the amounts of Annual Fixed Rent for each year of the term shall be adjusted to reflect the actual Total Project Costs and any overpayments by Tenant shall be promptly refunded by Landlord. The “Total Project Costs” shall mean all of the total hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord to design, permit and construct the Expansion Premises and to provide the additional parking facilities at the Property, including, without limitation, the Additional Parking Facility Costs, plus a construction management fee payable to Landlord not to exceed five percent (5%) of the Total Project Costs) and with such Total Project Costs calculated on an open book basis. Total Project Costs shall include the land value of the land area reasonably allocated to the Expansion Premises and the Structured Parking Deck and based on a $100.00 per square footage basis, such amount to be escalated annually by four percent (4%).
(3) Condition of Expansion Premises; Landlord’s Contribution. The Expansion Premises shall be delivered by Landlord and accepted by Tenant “as-is”, in its then (i.e. as of the Term Commencement Date in respect of the Expansion Premises), state of construction, finish and decoration, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to prepare or construct the Expansion Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, or to provide any work allowance or contribution to Tenant in respect of the Expansion Premises, except that Landlord shall deliver the Expansion Premises to Tenant vacant, broom clean and in accordance with the construction plans and specifications for the Expansion Premises mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant and memorialized in an amendment to this Lease.
(4) Security Deposit. Landlord shall have the right to review financial statements of Tenant and Guarantor in connection with any exercise by Tenant of the expansion option under this Section 18.1 and to require that Tenant deposit with Landlord a security deposit in the form of a Letter of Credit in an amount reasonably required by Landlord.
(5) Structured Parking Deck. If Tenant exercises its option to lease the Expansion Premises, Landlord shall accommodate Tenant’s right to the Number of Parking Spaces for the Premises plus any additional parking spaces attributable to the Expansion Premises
105
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
either, at Landlord’s election, by (i) increasing the number of surface parking spaces at the Property, or (ii) by construction of a Structured Parking Deck. All hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord to design, permit and construct the Structured Parking Deck or any additional parking spaces at the Property pursuant to this Section 18.1, shall be deemed “Additional Parking Facility Costs” for purposes of this Article XVIII and constitute part of the Total Expansion Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent Landlord constructs a Structured Parking Deck that will supply parking spaces in excess of the Number of Parking Spaces required under this Lease for the Premises and the Expansion Premises, then the Additional Parking Facility Costs will be reasonably allocated by Landlord based upon the ratio of the Number of Parking Spaces required for the Premises and the Expansion Premises to the total number parking spaces included in the Structured Parking Deck and the Total Project Costs will only include the portion of the Additional Parking Facility Costs that Landlord reasonably allocated to the Building.
(6) Construction of Expansion During Occupancy. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the construction of the Expansion Premises will be performed while Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises and shall not be considered an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises and shall not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to an abatement of any Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent payable hereunder. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that such ongoing construction may result in noise, dust, vibrations and other construction disturbances and Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Article XVIII shall constitute Tenant’s agreement to perform the obligations of Tenant under this Lease with knowledge of the construction of the Expansion Premises and the disruption and disturbances that may result therefrom, including a temporary reduction in parking spaces at the Property during the construction of the Structured Parking Deck. Landlord shall, in its construction of the Expansion Premises and the Structured Parking Deck, exercise commercially reasonable efforts (in light of the construction activities being performed) to minimize unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises pursuant to this Lease and to implement reasonable construction measures and procedures to mitigate dust and noise to the extent commercially feasible provided that such efforts and measures shall not require Landlord to perform such construction activities outside of normal building hours or at material additional cost to Landlord.
(D) Amendment with respect to Expansion Premises. Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant’s exercise of the above-described expansion option with respect to the
106
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Expansion Premises shall be self-executing, as aforesaid, the parties hereby agree promptly to execute a lease amendment reflecting the addition of the Expansion Premises. The execution of such lease amendment shall not be deemed to waive any of the conditions to Tenant’s exercise of the option with respect to the Expansion Premises, unless otherwise specifically provided in such lease amendment.
(E) Rights Personal to Tenant. The rights created by this Section 18.1 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and any Permitted Transferee under this Lease and shall not apply in favor of or be exercisable by any assignee of this Lease (other than a Permitted Transferee), nor any sublessee of all or any portion of the Premises.

A. Subject to the provisions of this Exhibit B, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall obtain all permits and approvals necessary in connection with, and perform, the base building work (“Landlord’s Work”) as defined in the Base Building Specifications (“Base Building Specifications”) attached hereto as Schedule 1.

Subject to delays due to Landlord’s Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined) or attributable to a Tenant Delay (as hereinafter defined), Landlord shall use reasonable speed and diligence in the construction of the Landlord’s Work, but Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for failure so to complete construction of Landlord’s Work, except as expressly set forth in Section 1.1. In addition to the Base Building Specifications described on Schedule 1, the Landlord’s Work includes construction of an outdoor terrace at the Property. Landlord agrees to reasonably consult with Tenant with respect to elevator cab finishes provided any modifications or selections requested by Tenant will not delay the design, permitting or performance of the Landlord’s Work and Tenant shall be responsible to pay any increased costs to incorporate Tenant’s modifications or selections about the finish amount allocated by Landlord in its budget for Landlord’s Work.
B. Upon Tenant’s request from time to time, Landlord shall consult with Tenant and its representatives about the status of Landlord’s Work and the then estimated Initial Work Substantial Completion Date, the estimated Interim Conditions Completion Date and the estimated Substantial Completion Date. Upon receipt of a written request from Tenant received not more frequently than once per quarter, Landlord will provide Tenant with progress reports regarding the status of and any updates to the schedule for the Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall permit Tenant and its representatives, accompanied by representatives of Landlord and its general contractor, to review and inspect the progress of Landlord’s Work at reasonable times that will not interfere with the performance of Landlord’s Work. Tenant’s Representatives may attend Landlord’s regularly scheduled construction meetings for Landlord’s Work.
C. The “Tenant Access Date” shall be defined as the date that Landlord’s Work is sufficiently complete so as to enable Tenant to commence the performance of Tenant’s Work, such portion of Landlord’s Work being referred to herein as the “Initial Work.”
Page 1
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
The parties hereby agree that if the elements (“Commencement Date Elements”) of Landlord’s Work identified on Schedule 2 attached to this Exhibit B are substantially complete, then Landlord’s Work shall be deemed to be “sufficiently complete so as to enable Tenant to commence the performance of Tenant’s Work” for purposes of determining the Tenant Access Date, Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Landlord is actually delayed in completing the Initial Work by any Tenant Delays, as hereinafter defined, then the “Tenant Access Date” shall be the date that the Initial Work would have been completed but for such Tenant Delays.
D. The “Interim Conditions Completion Date” shall be defined as the date that the elements of Landlord’s Work identified on Schedule 3 attached to this Exhibit B (the “Interim Completion Elements”) are complete, provided, however, if Landlord is actually delayed in completing the Interim Completion Elements by any Tenant Delays, then the “Interim Conditions Completion Date” shall be the date that the Interim Completion Elements would have been completed but for such Tenant Delays.
E. The “Actual Substantial Completion Date” shall mean the date on which: (i) the Essential Base Building Work, as hereinafter defined, is substantially completed, as hereinafter defined, (ii) all governmental inspections for occupancy of the base building have been successfully completed and a temporary certificate of occupancy for the base building core and shell has been authorized for issuance by the applicable governmental authority such that Tenant may, subject to completion of Tenant’s Work and installation of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment, lawfully use and occupy the Premises, and (iii) Landlord’s architect has issued a Certificate of Substantial Completion relating thereto (collectively, the “Substantial Completion Conditions”). Any dispute with respect to the occurrence of the Commencement Date, the Tenant Access Date, the Interim Conditions Completion Date, the Substantial Completion Date, the Rent Commencement Date, any Tenant Delay, any Landlord Delay, the performance of Landlord’s Work or the payment of Landlord’s Contribution under this Exhibit B shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 4.0 of this Exhibit B, and the decision of the arbitrators as to such dates and events shall be deemed conclusive and binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit or qualify or prejudice any other covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease.
F. The “Substantial Completion Date” shall be the “Actual Substantial Completion Date,” unless Landlord’s Work is actually delayed by Tenant Delays, as hereinafter defined, in which event the “Substantial Completion Date” shall be the date that the Actual Substantial Completion Date would have occurred but for such Tenant Delays.
G. The terms “substantially complete,” “substantially completed” and “substantial completion” shall mean that the Substantial Completion Conditions have been met and all of the work in question has been completed, except for Punch List Items. “Punch List Items” shall be defined as minor, punch list-type items of work and adjustment of equipment and fixtures that can be completed after Tenant commences the
Page 2
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
performance of Tenant’s Work or after its occupancy of the Premises without, in the aggregate, causing material interference with the performance of Tenant’s Work or, with respect to the Essential Base Building Work, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall complete, as soon as conditions practically permit, all Punch List Items. Landlord shall use diligent efforts to complete all Punch List Items within sixty (60) days after the Substantial Completion Date (except for long lead items and items which can only be performed during certain seasons or weather, which items shall be completed diligently as soon as the season and/or weather permits), and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in providing access during the performance as may be required to complete such work in a normal manner. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord to obtain a final certificate of occupancy for the Landlord’s Work following the substantial completion of the Tenant’s Work and installation of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Premises. .
H. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Work Agreement, Tenant’s contractors and vendors shall have access to the Premises from and after the Tenant Access Date to perform Tenant’s Work. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that, after the Commencement Date, remaining components of the Landlord’s Work in the Premises and the Building and the Tenant’s Work in the Premises will be performed simultaneously and accordingly agree to work cooperatively in order to coordinate the performance of the Landlord’s Work and the Tenant’s Work so that neither party unreasonably interferes with or delays the efforts of the other to complete its respective portion of the work within the time periods set forth herein. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in good faith so that Tenant and Landlord will have ongoing access to and through the Premises in order to perform Tenant’s Work and Landlord’s Work in as expeditious and efficient a manner as possible, and so as to minimize any interference in the performance by the other party’s work, provided, however, such reasonable efforts shall not require Landlord to perform such Landlord’s Work after hours or on an overtime or premium pay basis. Landlord agrees that Tenant’s deliveries may be received, without priority given to Landlord’s deliveries, at any time of the day subject to coordinating the deliveries with Landlord. After Tenant opens for business in the Premises, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in providing such access to the Premises as may be required to perform any remaining Landlord’s Work which must be performed in the Premises, provided that the completion of all Punch List Items that would interfere with the operation of a first-class business office (whether due to noise, the creation of dirt or debris, or otherwise) in any portion of the Premises then occupied by Tenant will be performed after the Building’s normal business hours.
I. The “Essential Base Building Work” (and the substantial completion thereof) shall be defined as the following items of Landlord’s Work:
(i) the Initial Work and the Interim Completion Elements have been completed, including completed demolition by Landlord to allow for the installation of Tenant finishes, such as all core and shell walls and ceilings to be free of metal brackets, exposed rebar, miscellaneous metals and flaking paint at concrete ceilings, walls and columns. All concrete floors
Page 3
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
to be patched by the Landlord where large penetrations or large pitted concrete areas need to be smoothed. Tenant shall furnish and install skim coating to allow for a suitable condition for the installation of Tenant flooring;
(ii) the Landlord’s Work has been substantially completed in accordance with the Base Building Specifications attached hereto as Schedule 1. subject to Landlord’s completion of any Punch List Items;
(iii) a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Base Building core and shell has been authorized for issuance by the applicable governmental authority such that Tenant may, subject to completion of Tenant’s Work and installation of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment, lawfully use and occupy the Premises;
(iv) preliminary testing and balancing reports for the base building mechanical, electrical and plumbing and fire protection systems have been delivered to Tenant; and
(v) the final design and engineering affidavits and a substantial completion certificate from Landlord’s base building architect have been delivered to Tenant.
Any phase of Landlord’s Work which is not completed on or before the applicable Milestone Date (as hereinafter defined) therefor shall be completed as soon as conditions practically permit. Each party shall take necessary reasonable measures to the end that each party’s contractors shall cooperate in all reasonable ways with the other party’s contractors to avoid any delay to the work being performed by each party’s contractors or conflict in any other way with the performance of each party’s work.
J. A “Tenant Delay” shall be defined as any delay in the commencement, progress or substantial completion of any elements of the Landlord’s Work beyond the applicable Milestone Date therefor set forth in Section 1.1(A) below of this Work Agreement and which cannot reasonably be mitigated by Landlord in good faith, using reasonable diligence, through re-coordination of Landlord’s work forces without incurring any additional costs or affecting the progress of the Landlord Work, and to the extent such delay results from any of the following: (i) the default of Tenant, or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors under the Lease, including this Work Agreement, or (ii) the failure of Tenant or Tenant’s Architect to make any submission or to respond to any submission to Tenant from Landlord or to take any required action within the time periods for such submission, response or action as set forth in the Lease and/or this Work Agreement, including, without limitation, Tenant’s failure to deliver any submission set of the Tenant’s Plans meeting the requirements of Schedule 5 attached to this Exhibit B or otherwise perform any actions in accordance with the Tenant Plans and Other Action Dates set forth on Schedule 4 attached to this Exhibit B; or (iii) Tenant Change Orders made by Tenant in accordance with Section 1.2 below or Tenant Impacts to Base Building; or (iv) any delays resulting from Tenant or any of Tenant’s contractors not complying with the rules and
Page 4
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
regulations for the performance of Tenant’s Work in the Building of which Tenant is given notice; or (v) any other delays caused by the acts or, where there is a duty of Tenant to act under the Lease or this Work Agreement, omissions by Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, architects, engineers or anyone else engaged by, through or under Tenant in connection with the preparation of the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, including, without limitation, utility companies and other entities furnishing communications, data processing or other service, equipment, or furniture. As set forth in Section 1.2. Landlord shall, to the extent possible, advise Tenant at the time of approval of such Change Order of the estimated length of such delay and Tenant shall have the right, promptly after Landlord advises Tenant thereof, to withdraw or modify the Change Order so as to avoid the delay. Tenant agrees that no Tenant Delay shall delay commencement of the Term or the obligation to pay Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, regardless of the reason for such Tenant Delay or whether or not it is within the control of Tenant or any such employee. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the amount, if any and after taking into account any cost savings that results from the Tenant Change Order, by which the Landlord’s Work is increased as the result of any Tenant Delay within thirty (30) days of billing therefor, and shall be considered to be Additional Rent. Such reimbursement, together with the postponement of the applicable Milestone Dates pursuant to the terms of this Work Agreement, shall be Landlord’s sole remedy for any such Tenant Delay unless such Tenant Delay becomes an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
With respect to any Tenant Delay claimed by Landlord, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with written notice (a “Tenant Delay Notice”) advising Tenant that such Tenant Delay is occurring and setting forth Landlord’s good faith estimate as to the likely length of such Tenant Delay within a reasonable period of time after Landlord becomes aware of such Tenant Delay, provided, however, that Landlord will not have any obligation to deliver any Tenant Delay Notice to Tenant with respect to (1) any Tenant Delay which is based upon Tenant’s failure to act within a time certain which is expressly set forth in this Work Agreement, or (2) any other Tenant Delay that Landlord has previously disclosed to Tenant or Tenant is otherwise aware of, such as, by way of example only, the Tenant Delay that Landlord disclosed to Tenant in connection with Landlord’s review and approval of a Tenant Change Order or Tenant Impacts to Base Building. Any submission by Tenant of Tenant Impacts to Base Building shall contain reasonably detailed information as Landlord reasonably requires or the submission may be rejected by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except for Tenant Delays attributable to events in clauses (1) or (2) above, if Tenant cures the act, omission or default set forth in a Tenant Delay Notice within one (1) business day after such Tenant Delay Notice is given by Landlord to Tenant, then the same shall not constitute a Tenant Delay, provided, however, if Landlord has delivered to Tenant five (5) Tenant Delay Notices, whether or not such Tenant Delays have been cured by Tenant, there shall be no further one (1) business day cure right applicable to any Tenant Delays occurring after such fifth (5th) Tenant Delay Notice. Notwithstanding anything herein or in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord may satisfy the Tenant Delay Notice requirement by email notification to tammy.diorio@clarks.com and elizabeth.spath@dtz.com. Except where delivery of a Tenant Delay Notice is expressly not required under this subsection (L), Tenant shall not be charged with any period of Tenant Delay prior to the date that Tenant receives written notice from Landlord of the alleged Tenant Delay.
Page 5
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
K. .A “Landlord Delay” shall be defined as any delay in the commencement, progress or substantial completion of Tenant’s Work beyond the Estimated Rent Commencement Date and which cannot reasonably be mitigated by Tenant in good faith, using reasonable diligence, through re-coordination of Tenant’s work forces without incurring any additional costs or affecting the progress of the Tenant’s Work, and to the extent such delay results from any of the following: (i) any default by Landlord in its obligations under the Lease, including this Work Agreement, or (ii) the prosecution by Landlord of any Landlord’s Work remaining in the Premises after the Commencement Date in a manner that interferes with or delays Tenant’s Work in the Premises and is not in compliance with the construction schedule for the completion of Landlord’s Work in the Premises and the Building, or (iii) Tenant’s inability to obtain a building permit for Tenant’s Work or a certificate of occupancy for the Premises by reason of the non-compliance of portions of the Building with applicable Legal Requirements except to the extent such non-compliance is due to Tenant’s acts or omissions or the Tenant’s Work, or (iv) any Landlord’s Work Change (as hereinafter defined) by Landlord, or (v) any other delays based upon acts or, where there is a duty of Landlord to act under the Lease or this Work Agreement, omissions by Landlord, Landlord’s contractors, architects, engineers or anyone else engaged by, through or under Landlord in connection with the performance of the Landlord’s Work.
With respect to any Landlord Delay claimed by Tenant, Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with written notice (a “Landlord Delay Notice”) advising Landlord that such Landlord Delay is occurring and setting forth Tenant’s good faith estimate as to the likely length of such Landlord Delay within a reasonable period of time after Tenant becomes aware of such Landlord Delay, provided, however, that Tenant will not have any obligation to deliver any Landlord Delay Notice to Landlord with respect to any Landlord Delay which is based upon Landlord’s failure to act within a time certain which is expressly set forth in this Work Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord cures the act, omission or default set forth in a Landlord Delay Notice within one (1) business day after such Landlord Delay Notice is given by Tenant to Landlord, then the same shall not constitute a Landlord Delay, provided, however, if Tenant has delivered to Landlord five (5) Landlord Delay Notices, whether or not such Landlord Delays have been cured by Landlord, there shall be no further one (1) business day cure right applicable to any Landlord Delays occurring after such fifth (5th) Landlord Delay Notice. Notwithstanding anything herein or in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may satisfy the Landlord Delay Notice requirement by email notification to blaverv@bostonproperties.com and irandall@bostonproperties.com. Except where delivery of a Landlord Delay Notice is expressly not required under this subsection (M), Landlord shall not be charged with any period of Landlord Delay prior to the date that Landlord receives written notice from Tenant of the alleged Landlord Delay.
Tenant’s sole remedies with respect to Landlord’s failure to Substantially Complete the Landlord’s Work in accordance with the Milestone Dates or by the applicable outside dates set forth in Section 1.1(A)(3) below shall be governed by Section 1.1(A)(2) and Section 1.1(A)(3) below of this Work Agreement and shall not also constitute a Landlord Delay.
L. The Landlord’s Work shall be designed and constructed with a goal of achieving a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, as adopted by the U.S. Green Building Council (“LEED”) rating Certified Core & Shell status. Landlord shall use diligent efforts to obtain
Page 6
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
LEED Silver Certified Core & Shell certification; provided that so long as Landlord timely files an application for certification in compliance with the terms of the LEED program together with all required supporting materials and documentation and pays all fees required in connection therewith, the failure of the U.S. Green Building Council (or its successor entity) to issue such a certification shall not be a default of Landlord hereunder and Landlord shall not have any obligation to incur any further costs or to pursue any further action against the USGBC in order to obtain such certification. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in Landlord’s efforts to obtain a LEED certification for the Landlord’s Work and will endeavor to reduce its lighting load to 0.6 watts per square foot of the Premises.
1.1 TENANT’S RIGHTS BASED ON DELAYS IN LANDLORD’S WORK.
(A) Tenant’s Remedies for Late Completion
1. Current Construction Schedule; Exclusive Remedies. The Initial Work will be completed on or before March 1, 2016, as such date may be extended by the number of days that Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Initial Work by Landlord’s Force Majeure and/or any Tenant Delays (the “Initial Work Completion Date”). The Interim Completion Elements will be completed on or before June 1, 2016 as such date may be extended by the number of days that Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Interim Completion Elements by Landlord’s Force Majeure and/or any Tenant Delays (the “Interim Conditions Completion Date”). The Essential Base Building Work will be substantially completed on or before August 1, 2016, as such date may be extended by the number of days that Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Essential Base Building Work by Landlord’s Force Majeure and/or any Tenant Delays. The Initial Work Completion Date, the Interim Conditions Completion Date and the Substantial Completion Date may be referred to herein as the “Milestone Dates” and are more particularly set forth on Schedule 6 attached hereto. Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice within a reasonable period after Landlord has knowledge that Landlord will not satisfy one or more of the Milestone Dates. Landlord shall use reasonable speed and diligence to achieve such the foregoing Milestone Dates; provided, however, except as expressly provided in this Exhibit B, the failure of Landlord to satisfy the Milestone Dates shall in no way affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder and the sole and exclusive cure rights and remedies available to Tenant for any delay by Landlord in the Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work or any of the Milestone Dates shall be the rights and remedies set forth in Section l.1(A)(2) and Section 1.1(A)(3) below (collectively, the “Remedies”). Any notice or cure period set forth in the Lease (other than in this Section 1.1) that may be generally applicable to Landlord’s and Tenant’s respective obligations under this Lease shall not apply to the obligations and time periods set forth in this Section 1.1. Time is of the essence with respect to all dates and time periods set forth in this Section 1.1.
2. Tenant’s Remedies. If Landlord fails to satisfy one or more of the Milestone Dates (as so extended by the number of days that Landlord is delayed in the performance of the applicable portion of Landlord’s Work by Landlord’s Force Majeure and/or any Tenant Delays), the Rent Commencement Date will be postponed until the specified period, if any, set forth in Section 1.2 of the Lease following the actual satisfaction of the applicable Milestone Date, provided, however, the postponement of the Rent Commencement Date for failure of Landlord
Page 7
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
to satisfy any of the Milestone Dates shall not be cumulative in nature (i.e. if Landlord misses a Milestone Date by two (2) weeks and then misses another Milestone Date by the same two (2) weeks, the postponement of the Rent Commencement Date will only be for an aggregate of two (2) weeks and not by two (2) weeks for each Milestone Date that has been missed). If Landlord’s failure to satisfy any of the Milestone Dates results in the Rent Commencement Date occurring after September 30, 2016 (as such date may be extended by the number of days that Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Landlord’s Work on account of any Landlord’s Force Majeure and/or Tenant Delays) (the “First Outside Date”), then the Rent Commencement Date for the Premises shall be amended to be the earlier date to occur of (i) the date on which Tenant opens for business in the ordinary course at the Premises, and (ii) the later date to occur of (A) seven (7) months following the Tenant Access Date, (B) four (4) months following the Interim Conditions Completion Date, and (C) the Substantial Completion Date. If Landlord fails to satisfy any of the Milestone Dates by more than twelve (12) months following the applicable Milestone Date for such Milestone (as such Milestone Date shall be extended as set forth in Section 1.1(A)(1) above on account of any Landlord’s Force Majeure and/or Tenant Delays) (the “Final Outside Date”), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered no later than thirty (30) days following the Final Outside Date (as so extended), time being of the essence (the “Termination Notice Date”), indicating Tenant’s desire to so terminate and with such termination effective as of the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s termination notice; and upon the giving of such notice, the Term of the Lease shall cease and come to an end without further liability or obligation on the part of either party as of the expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) day period, unless the Substantial Completion Date shall in fact have occurred on or before such termination date.
3. Holdover Damages. Tenant’s affiliate, C&J Clark America, Inc. (“C&J Clark’s”), is currently leasing approximately 121,598 rentable square feet plus two (2) storage spaces in the building located at 156 Oak Street, Newton, Massachusetts (the “Tenant’s Existing Premises”) pursuant to that certain Lease dated January 1, 2004 between C&J Clark’s, as tenant, and Northland Oak Street LLC, as landlord, together with that certain License Agreement dated May 1, 2012 and that certain letter agreement dated March 20, 2006 (the “Newton Lease”). If the Rent Commencement Date under this Lease has not occurred by December 31, 2016 (the “Holdover Premium Date”) as the result of Landlord’s failure to timely satisfy any of the Milestone Dates, which Holdover Premium Date shall be extended for a period equal to the aggregate of delays caused by an event or occurrence of Landlord’s Force Majeure and/or Tenant Delay, and if as a direct result thereof, Tenant is unable to vacate the Newton Premises in its entirety and relocate its business operations therein to the Premises by not later than the Holdover Premium Date, and subject to Tenant’s obligations to cooperate with Landlord in a good faith effort to mitigate such delay as set hereinafter set forth, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any Fixed Rent Premium (as hereinafter defined) actually paid by Tenant to the landlord under the Newton Lease. For the purpose of this Section 1.1(A)(3), “Fixed Rent Premium” shall mean the increase in the fixed rent (excluding additional rent, utilities and other occupancy related charges) incurred by Tenant under the Newton Lease during any Holdover Period (as hereinafter defined) from the fixed rent that was payable by Tenant under its Newton Lease immediately prior to Tenant’s holding over in Tenant’s Existing Premises, provided, however, and notwithstanding anything in the Newton Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to pay any Fixed Rent Premium in excess of $351,532.00 per
Page 8
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
month in the aggregate. The Fixed Rent Premium shall be calculated on a monthly basis unless the Newton Lease provides for calculation of the Fixed Rent Premium on a daily, per diem basis, in which case the Fixed Rent Premium shall be calculated on a daily, per diem basis for each day of the Holdover Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.3(A)(3) to the contrary, Tenant agrees, upon receipt of request from Landlord, to exercise reasonable efforts to expedite its moving schedule to mitigate any Fixed Rent Premium and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses to so expedite its move. For purposes hereof, the term “Holdover Period” shall mean a period of time equal to the number of days elapsing from January 1, 2017 and ending on the earlier of (x) if the Fixed Rent Premium is calculated on a monthly basis under the Newton Lease, the last day of the month in which the Rent Commencement Date falls, or (y) if the Fixed Rent Premium is calculated on a daily per diem basis under the Newton Lease, the Rent Commencement Date of this Lease, or (z) thirty (30) days following the Termination Notice Date. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that the monthly Fixed Rent Premium payable under the Newton Lease per month and the expiration date of the Newton Lease are as set forth on Exhibit O attached hereto. In no event shall Tenant, after the date of this Lease, enter into any amendment or modification of the Newton Lease that would in any way increase the Fixed Rent Premium in the event of a holdover and, in the event of any such amendment made without Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall have no obligation or liability to Tenant for any such Fixed Rent Premium or other expenses. In no event shall Landlord be liable or responsible for any Fixed Rent Premium or other expenses incurred by Tenant on account of any holdover under the Newton Lease if such holdover is not the result of Landlord’s breach or failure as set forth above in this Section 3.
If the Substantial Completion Date has not occurred by the Final Outside Date and Tenant fails to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by the Termination Notice Date, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord’s obligation to pay the Fixed Rent Premium under this Section 3 shall cease to accrue on the earlier date to occur of the Rent Commencement Date and the date that is thirty (30) days following the Termination Notice Date.
4. Landlord’s Force Maieure. If Landlord’s Work is delayed by reason of Landlord’s Force Majeure, then each Milestone Date shall be delayed by reason of such Force Majeure event. When used in this Exhibit B, “Landlord’s Force Majeure” shall mean any prevention, delay or stoppage due to governmental regulation, strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulties affecting the industry in general and not particular to labor disputes involving Landlord or its affiliates, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, civil commotions, unusual scarcity of or inability to obtain labor or materials (to the extent that such scarcity or inability is the result of conditions prevalent in the market in general and not particular to Landlord, and otherwise unforeseen, as of the date of this Lease), casualty or other causes reasonably beyond Landlord’s control; provided, however, that in no event shall the financial inability of Landlord or Landlord’s contractors constitute a cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. In order to invoke the Landlord’s Force Majeure provision of this
Exhibit B. Landlord must advise Tenant in writing of the alleged Landlord’s Force Majeure within five (5) business days after Landlord becomes aware thereof. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of Landlord’s Force Majeure on the performance of Landlord’s Work, to the extent it is within Landlord’s reasonable ability to do so given the nature of the event giving rise to the
Page 9
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Landlord’s Force Majeure. In no event shall any Landlord’s Force Majeure under this Exhibit B exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate.
The provisions of this Section 1.1 shall survive the termination of the Lease.
1.2 CHANGES TO BASE BUILDING PLANS
(A) Landlord’s Right to Make Changes to Base Building Specifications. Landlord shall have the right to modify the Base Building Specifications, from time to time, so long as the modification does not affect, in any material respect: (i) Tenant’s use or enjoyment of, or access to, the Premises, or (ii) Tenant’s Work, but only to the extent Tenant has already submitted Tenant’s Plans for Tenant’s Work to Landlord. If Landlord desires to make a Base Building Specification change which is not permitted under the immediately preceding sentence (a ‘'Landlord’s Work Change”), Landlord shall promptly so notify Tenant. Tenant shall notify Landlord whether Tenant approves the Landlord’s Work Change or, if not, the revisions required to be made by Landlord and shall also notify Landlord of the additional costs, if any, which Tenant reasonably estimates it will incur in the performance of Tenant’s Work as a result of the Landlord’s Work Change (“Tenant’s Change Estimate Notice”). Tenant shall respond to Landlord’s Work Change in accordance with the following timetable:
(x) within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord’s notice of the Landlord’s Work Change if such request is an initial request, or
(y) within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s notice of the Landlord’s Work Change if such request is being submitted to Tenant following Tenant’s initial comments on such design modifications.
Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold any such requested approval so long as Landlord’s Work is consistent with standards for a first-class office building in the Market Area, and Landlord pays for all additional costs reasonably estimated by Tenant in its Tenant’s Change Estimate Notice as such costs are incurred (provided Tenant gives Landlord a trade-by-trade breakdown of labor and materials in connection with each request for payment). If Tenant does not respond to Landlord’s Work Change as set forth above, Landlord’s Work Change shall be deemed approved by Tenant without any additional costs to be reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord. If Landlord does not agree with Tenant’s cost estimate as set forth in Tenant’s Change Estimate Notice, then Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, elect to have the particular aspects of Tenant’s Work performed on a time and materials basis in accordance with Tenant’s construction contract. In such event, Landlord shall pay all amounts due to Tenant’s contractor for such work as and when due under Tenant’s construction contract. Tenant shall provide Landlord all reasonable cost accounting information regarding such work provided to Tenant by Tenant’s contractor.
(B) Tenant’s Right to Make Changes to Base Building Specifications.
If Tenant’s design of Tenant’s Work includes any features, attributes, materials or specifications that will require changes or additions to the Landlord’s Work or the Base Building Specifications, Tenant may request changes (“Tenant Change Orders”) in the Base Building
Page 10
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Specifications to accommodate Tenant’s interior space design, subject to the following. In the event that Tenant proposes any Tenant Change Orders or Tenant’s Plans (as hereinafter defined) contain any Tenant Change Orders pursuant to the foregoing, Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days of such request, provide Tenant with a statement of the reasonable out of pocket additional costs to be incurred by Landlord (after taking into account any cost savings that results from the Tenant Change Order) to implement the change in Landlord’s Work as a result of such change and the amount of delay, if any, that Landlord estimates will result in the completion of Landlord’s Work as a result of such change (“Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice”). Landlord agrees that any Tenant Change Orders submitted to Landlord not later than the Tenant Impacts to Base Building Date set forth on the Tenant Plans and Other Action Dates attached hereto as Schedule 4 to this Exhibit B will not constitute a Tenant Delay but may result in increased costs to perform the Landlord’s Work which Tenant will be responsible to pay in accordance with the terms of this Work Agreement. Landlord shall have the right to withhold approval of any such Tenant Change Orders unless Tenant agrees to pay the reasonable costs incurred to redesign the plans for Landlord’s Work and to perform any of the changes or additions to the Landlord’s Work and Landlord and Tenant agree upon the Tenant Delay that will result from the re-design and implementation of such Tenant Change Orders. Tenant shall be charged a construction management fee payable to Landlord equal to three and 1/2 (3.5%) percent of the cost of such Tenant Change Order. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any Tenant Change Order requested by Tenant, so long as: (i) Tenant pays, via a deduction from the Landlord’s Contribution as set forth hereinbelow, all additional costs specified by Landlord in Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice as such costs are incurred (provided that Landlord gives Tenant a trade-by-trade breakdown of labor and materials in connection with each request for payment), (ii) the change is consistent with the governmental agreements and approvals for the Building, (iii) the change is consistent with design standards for a first-class office buildings in the Market Area and does not have a material adverse effect on the value of the Building or the Land, and (iv) Tenant notifies Landlord within ten (10) business days after receiving Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice that Tenant authorizes Landlord to make such change and Tenant agrees that any delay in the performance of Landlord’s Work arising from such change is a Tenant Delay. Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant all reasonable cost accounting information regarding such work as may be reasonably requested in writing by Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any changes to the Base Building Specifications except in accordance with this Section 1.2(B). Notwithstanding anything in the Lease or this Work Agreement to the contrary, the costs of any Tenant Change Orders (after taking into account any cost savings that results from the Tenant Change Order) shall be deducted by Landlord from the Landlord’s Contribution following delivery to Tenant of a certification from Landlord’s architect that the applicable work has been substantially completed, together with backup documentation reasonably satisfactory to Tenant substantiating such costs, and, if the Landlord’s Contribution is not sufficient to pay in full the total costs of the applicable Tenant Change Order, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within fifteen (15) days following the Actual Substantial Completion Date regardless of the occurrence of any delays caused by Tenant.
1.3 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

If, on or before the Warranty Expiration Date, Tenant gives Landlord written notice of any breach of Landlord’s Warranty promptly after Tenant becomes aware of such breach, Landlord shall, at no cost to Tenant, correct or repair such breach as soon as conditions reasonably permit and as to which, in either case, Tenant shall have given notice to Landlord, as aforesaid. Except in the event of an emergency or notice of an unsafe condition, any such correction or repair to be performed in the Premises and that would materially interfere with the operation of a first-class business office (whether due to unreasonable noise, the creation of dirt or debris, or otherwise) in any portion of the Premises then occupied by Tenant will be performed outside of Normal Building Operating Hours. Landlord’s warranty obligations hereunder shall not apply to the extent of damage or defect caused by (v) abuse by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, (w) alterations or repairs not executed by Landlord or Landlord’s contractors or Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s Work, (x) the negligent acts or omissions or the willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, sublessees or permitted occupants, (y) improper or insufficient operation or maintenance by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, or (z) normal wear and tear and normal usage. The “Warranty Expiration Date” shall be defined as the date that is fifteen (15) days prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Actual Substantial Completion Date, provided, however, that if and only to the extent that Landlord or Landlord’s general contractor has obtained, at no additional cost to Landlord (unless paid for by Tenant), the benefit of any extended warranty for any portion of Landlord’s Work (an “Extended Warranty”), the Warranty Expiration Date shall be extended to the date that is one (1) month prior to the actual expiration date of the Extended Warranty. Except to the extent to which Tenant shall have given Landlord notice of respects in which Landlord has breached Landlord’s Warranty or Landlord has otherwise failed to perform Landlord’s construction obligations under this Exhibit B, Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to have: (i) approved Landlord’s construction, (ii) waived any claim that Landlord has breached Landlord’s Warranty, and (iii) have agreed that Tenant has no claim that Landlord has failed to perform any of Landlord’s obligations under this Work Agreement. The provisions of this Section 1.4(B) shall be Tenant’s sole remedies for any breach of the Landlord’s Warranty; however nothing in this Section 1.4(B) shall be deemed to relieve Landlord of its express responsibilities to perform its obligations under the Lease, including, without limitation, Landlord’s obligations under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Lease or affect or limit the provisions of Section 7.3 of the Lease.

(A) From and after the Actual Initial Work Substantial Completion Date, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense (except for Landlord's Contribution, as hereinafter set forth), shall perform all work ("Tenant's Work") necessary to prepare the Premises for Tenant's occupancy in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by an architect, licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) (the "Tenant's Architect"), such plans and specifications to be subject to the reasonable approval of the Landlord. Landlord hereby approves Stantec Architecture and Engineering P.C. and/or ADD, Inc. as Tenant's Architect. Tenant's Work shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of the Lease (including, without limitation, Article IX and this Exhibit B).
(B) Tenant's Architect and Contractor. Tenant shall engage Tenant's Architect to prepare the plans and specifications ("Tenant's Plans") for Tenant's Work. The contractor(s) and subcontractors engaged by Tenant to perform Tenant's Work shall be licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), provided, however, Tenant shall use Landlord's designated contractor for Tenant's tie-in to the Building Management System in the Building. As of the date of this Lease, Landlord approves J. Calnan & Associates, John Moriarty & Associates, Commodore Builders, Timberline Construction and Lee Kennedy Co. Inc. as proposed general contractors for the performance of the Tenant's Work.
(C) Planning Process. Tenant shall, not later than the outside dates set forth in Schedule 4 to this Exhibit B. subject to delays due to Landlord Delay, submit to Landlord for Landlord's approval an initial set of plans ("Initial Plans"), progress plans from time to time ("Interim Plans") and a full set of construction drawings (as the same may thereafter be modified by any Change Orders approved by Landlord and Tenant, the "Final Plans") for Tenant's Work (collectively, the "Plans"). The Final Plans shall contain at least the information required by, and shall conform to the requirements of, Schedule 5 and shall be coordinated with the design of Landlord's Work to the Premises. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the Initial Plans, the Interim Plans, or the Final Plans, however, Landlord's determination of matters relating to aesthetic issues relating to alterations or changes which are visible outside the Premises shall be in Landlord's sole discretion. Landlord agrees to respond to any Initial Plans, Interim Plans or Final Plans within fifteen (15) business days of receipt thereof. Landlord shall respond with reasonable promptness to Tenant's reasonable requests for advice in connection with the preparation of the Plans within a reasonable time after their submission. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant's diligent preparation of and delivery to Landlord of ftilly coordinated documents required under Schedule 5 to this Exhibit B and shall use reasonable efforts to cause Landlord's engineers to respond and cooperate with Tenant with reasonable promptness in the preparation of and delivery to Landlord of the Plans, in accordance with the time periods provided for in the Tenant Plans and Other Action Dates attached hereto as Schedule 4. If Landlord disapproves of any Plans, such disapproval shall state in reasonable detail Landlord's objections and conditions, and Tenant shall have the Plans revised by its architect to incorporate all reasonable objections and conditions presented by Landlord and shall resubmit such Plans to Landlord. Landlord shall respond to such revised Plans within five (5)
Page 13
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
business days (or ten (10) business days in the case of a major redesign) of receipt thereof. Such process shall be followed until the Final Plans shall have been approved by the Landlord without objection or condition. Tenant shall use reasonable speed and diligence to complete the Plans within the time frames set forth in the Tenant Plans and Other Action Dates attached hereto as Schedule 4. Landlord’s review and approval of any such plans and specifications and consent to perform work described therein shall not be deemed an agreement by Landlord that such plans, specifications and work conform with applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements nor deemed a waiver of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease with respect to applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements nor impose any liability or obligation upon Landlord with respect to the completeness, design sufficiency or compliance of such plans, specifications and work with applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements nor give right to any other parties. Further, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is acting for its own benefit and account, and that Tenant shall not be acting as Landlord’s agent in performing any work in the Premises, accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, no contractor, subcontractor or supplier shall have a right to lien Landlord’s interest in the Property in connection with any such work. No deviation from the Tenant’s Plans shall be made by Tenant except by written change order approved by Landlord in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.0(C) for Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Plans.
(D) Performance of Tenant’s Work. Once Tenant’s Plans have been approved by Landlord, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense (subject to Landlord’s Contribution), shall promptly, and with all due diligence, perform Tenant’s Work as set forth on Tenant’s Plans, and, in connection therewith, the Tenant shall obtain all necessary governmental permits and approvals for Tenant’s Work. All of Tenant’s Work shall be performed in accordance with the Plans and in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements and in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations. Tenant shall have Tenant’s Work performed by contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, which contractors shall provide to Landlord such insurance as required by Section 13.14 of the Lease. In the event that Tenant’s use of any contractors for the performance of Tenant’s Work results in any Labor Disharmony that interrupts or disrupts the progress or timely complete of the Landlord’s Work, it shall constitute a Tenant Delay. Landlord shall have the right to provide such reasonable rules and regulations relative to the performance of Tenant’s Work and any other work which the Tenant may perform under the Lease and Tenant shall abide by all such reasonable rules and regulations and shall cause all of its contractors to so abide including, without limitation, payment for the costs of using Building services (including, without limitation, those referenced in Paragraphs (F) and (G) of this Section 2.0). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will not be required to perform the Tenant’s Work on an after-hours basis pursuant to any construction rules and regulations adopted by Landlord for the Building unless performing such work during Normal Building Operating Hours would interfere with or delay the performance of Landlord’s Work.
(E) Quality of Tenant’s Work. All construction work required or permitted by this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and all Insurance Requirements (as defined in Section 9.1 of the Lease). Tenant shall not be required to use any particular building standard architectural materials or items; however, the Tenant’s Work shall be consistent with tenant improvements typically

Each party authorizes the other to rely in connection with design and construction upon the written approval or other written authorizations on the party’s behalf by any Construction Representative of the party named in Section 1.2 of the Lease or any person hereafter designated in substitution or addition by notice to the party relying. Each party may inspect the work of the other at reasonable times and shall promptly give notice of observed defects. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is acting for its own benefit and account and that Tenant will not be acting as Landlord’s agent in performing any Tenant’s Work, accordingly, to the extent permitted by law, no contractor, subcontractor or supplier shall have a right to lien Landlord’s interest in the Building, the Land, or the Complex in connection with any work. Tenant shall also prepare and submit to Landlord promptly after Tenant’s Work is substantially complete a set of operations and maintenance manuals and as-built plans in both print and electronic (pdf and Autocad) forms showing the work performed by Tenant to the Premises. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to all third party expenses incurred by Landlord to review Tenant’s Plans and Tenant’s Work. Except for such third party expenses and except as provided in subsection (G) below, Landlord will not charge Tenant any construction management or supervisory fee in connection with the Tenant’s Work, unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing that Landlord will manage the performance of Tenant’s Work on Tenant’s behalf.
(F) Utilities. Tenant shall not be required to pay for the cost of any utilities used in the Premises in performing the Tenant’s Work. Tenant’s obligation to pay electricity and other utility charges pursuant to the Lease shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date and Landlord shall be responsible for the cost of all utilities supplied to the Premises prior to such Rent Commencement Date.
(G) Hoisting/Freight Elevators; Construction Debris. Landlord will not charge Tenant for use of freight and/or passenger elevators and the loading dock during the performance of Tenant’s Work and Tenant’s move into the Premises except that Tenant shall be responsible to pay for after-hours supervisory charges for Landlord’s property manager or supervisor to the extent Tenant is performing Tenant’s Work or move in to the Premises outside of Normal Business Hours and for any actual third party costs incurred in connection with any construction related building services during the performance of Tenant’s Work, including shut-down charges, tap in charges, sprinklers drain down fees, fire alarm testing and similar tests and inspections. Tenant shall be responsible for the removal and disposal of Tenant’s Work construction debris in accordance with Landlord’s rules and regulations for the performance of tenant work in the Building.
(H) Tenant Deliveries prior to Occupancy. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.0(H), prior to occupying the Premises, or any portion thereof for the operation of Tenant’s business, it shall be Tenant’s obligation to obtain and deliver to Landlord the following (“Occupancy Conditions”):
(1) a certificate of occupancy or other like governmental approval or sign offs authorizing the use and occupancy of the Premises to the extent required by law;

(7) “Maximum Amount of Landlord’s Contribution” shall be defined as Eight Million Six Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Five and 00/100 ($8,622,675.00) Dollars (i.e., $75.00 per square foot of Rentable Floor of the Primary Premises only), as reduced by the costs of performance of the Tenant Change Orders.
(8) “Requisition,” with respect to Hard Costs, shall be defined as written documentation (including, without limitation, invoices from Tenant’s contractor, written lien waivers from all persons or entities that may have a lien as a result of such work, in the recordable forms attached to the Lease as Exhibit G, and such other documentation as Landlord may reasonably request) showing in reasonable detail the costs of the improvements installed by Tenant to date in the Premises and certificate of Tenant’s Architect to Landlord and any other party reasonably designated by Landlord (such as Landlord’s mortgagee, if any) specifying the percentage of completion of Tenant’s Work, as applicable to the Requisition submitted, performed in or to the Premises in accordance with Tenant’s Plans approved by Landlord which Tenant has achieved as of the date of such certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Soft Costs, “Requisition” shall mean written documentation (e.g., invoices from Tenant’s architect and engineers and vendors) showing in reasonable detail the Soft Costs. Each requisition shall be accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all work covered by previous requisitions has been fully paid by Tenant.

(C) Landlord’s Contribution. Landlord shall provide a special allowance
(“Landlord’s Contribution”) to Tenant not to exceed the Maximum Amount of Landlord’s Contribution. Landlord’s Contribution shall be used and applied by Tenant solely on account of the Total Costs incurred by Tenant; provided however, that the maximum amount of Landlord’s Contribution which may be requisitioned and used by Tenant to pay for Soft Costs shall not exceed (i) $9.75 per square foot of Rentable Floor Area of the Premises which may be requisitioned by Tenant for Soft Costs (the “Soft Costs Cap”).

In no event shall Landlord be deemed to have assumed any obligations, in whole or in part, of Tenant to any contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, workers or materialmen. Provided Tenant satisfies all of the Requisition Conditions at the time that it submits any Requisition to Landlord and all of the Final Requisition Conditions at the time that it submits the Final Requisition to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to submit Requisitions (including the Final Requisition) to Landlord on account of Landlord’s Contribution as follows:
(1) Requisitions may not be submitted to Landlord more than one time per calendar month.
(2) If Landlord declines to make payment of the amount due under a Requisition on the basis that Tenant has failed to satisfy any of the Requisition Conditions, then, if Tenant subsequently satisfies such Requisition Conditions, and the Lease is then in full force and effect, Tenant shall have the right to resubmit such Requisition to Landlord in accordance with this Section 3.0.
(3) Landlord shall pay any amount properly due to Tenant on account of any Requisition on or before the date thirty (30) days after Landlord receives such Requisition and all necessary supporting information.

Page 18
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Soft Costs), and Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Share of the amount due pursuant to each Requisition until Landlord’s Contribution is exhausted; provided however, that Tenant’s Share of any payments made by Landlord to Tenant on account of Soft Costs prior to the submission of the Budget shall be credited against Landlord’s first payment(s) on account of Landlord’s Contributions made after the submission of the Budget.
(6) Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any portion of Landlord’s Contribution to Tenant with respect to any Requisition submitted by Tenant to Landlord after the date that is nine (9) months after the Rent Commencement Date.

(8) Except with respect to work and/or materials previously paid for by Tenant, as evidenced by paid invoices and written lien waivers provided to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to pay Landlord’s Contribution jointly to both Tenant and Tenant’s contractor(s) and vendor(s), if a lien has been filed against the Building, the Land or the Complex on account of Tenant’s Work which has not been discharged or bonded over.
(D) Tenant’s Offset Right. If Landlord fails timely to pay any portion of Landlord’s Contribution when properly due and as to which Tenant has satisfied the Requisition Conditions, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord, then Tenant, provided no monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default of Tenant has occurred and is continuing, may deliver a second notice (an “Offset Notice”) to Landlord, which notice shall specify the Requisition that has not been timely paid, the date upon which it was sent to Landlord, and if Landlord fails to (i) send Tenant written notice which disputes that the specified Requisition (or portion thereof) of Landlord’s Contribution is due from Landlord and submitting the same to arbitration under Section 4.0 below (or if Landlord has timely disputed Tenant’s demand, has submitted such dispute to arbitration in accordance with said Section 4.0 and has thereafter failed to pay Tenant the amount of any final, unappealable arbitration award against Landlord within thirty (30) days after the issuance thereof) within such five (5) business day period, or (ii) disburse the amount expressly referenced in the Offset Notice within five (5) business days, then Tenant shall have the right to have such unpaid amount credited against the next installment(s) of Annual Fixed Rent thereafter due under this Lease, until such sums due Tenant have been fully paid by Landlord or fully credited and accounted for, provided however, that the amount so offset by Tenant in any calendar month shall not exceed twenty-five (25%) percent of the amount of the monthly installment of Annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord with respect to such calendar month. Any amounts for which Landlord fails to timely reimburse Tenant under this Section 1.1 shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate, as defined in Section 16.21 of the Lease from the date due until the date paid. Any disputes arising under this Section 3.0 shall be submitted to arbitration under Section 4.0 of this Exhibit B, and the arbitrator’s decision shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.
Page 19
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
4.0 ARBITRATION
Any disputes relating to provisions or obligations in this Exhibit B or arising from the performance of the parties under this Exhibit B shall be resolved by arbitration, under the Construction Industry Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), and subject to the provisions of Mass. General Laws, c. 251, with hearings conducted as expeditiously as practicable and with no undue delay, and in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of demand, in Boston, Massachusetts. Prior written notice of application by either party for arbitration shall be given to the other at least ten (10) days before filing of any demand for arbitration hereunder. Any award of an arbitrator rendered hereunder shall be subject to confirmation and entry of judgment thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Suffolk or Middlesex Counties, Massachusetts, and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such court. The costs and administration expenses of each arbitration hereunder and their apportionment between the parties shall be borne equally by the parties, and each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees. In connection with the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the parties shall continue to perform their respective obligations under this Lease during the pending of any such arbitration proceeding hereunder (with any adjustments or reallocations to be made on account of such continued performance as determined by the arbitrator in his or her award).
5.0 ROOFTOP TERRACE CONSTRUCTION.
A preliminary plan and cost estimate for the Rooftop Terrace approved by Landlord and Tenant is attached as Exhibit P to this Lease (the “Preliminary Roof Terrace Plan”). Landlord shall submit for Tenant’s review and comment final construction drawings for the Rooftop Terrace, and Tenant shall provide its written design comments within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such final construction drawings. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to incorporate Tenant’s reasonable design comments provided that any changes, modifications or comments from Tenant (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment are in keeping with the first-class nature of the Building and consistent with similar roof terraces in comparable buildings in the Market Area, (ii) are consistent with the governmental approvals and permits authorizing the performance of the Landlord’s Work, (iii) do not adversely affect the base building systems or other structural elements of the Building, and (iv) will not delay the substantial completion of the Rooftop Terrace or any of Landlord’s Work or delay Landlord’s ability to satisfy any of the Milestone Dates. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s design comments, Landlord shall submit a revised Roof Terrace Plan (“Final Roof Terrace Plan”) along with a preliminary estimate of the total hard and soft costs to be incurred by Landlord to design, permit and construct the Rooftop Terrace for Tenant’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided Tenant shall respond within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Final Roof Terrace Plan from Landlord. If Tenant shall have failed to respond to the Final Roof Terrace Plan within ten (10) Business Days after receipt from Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Final Roof Terrace Plan and Landlord shall proceed with the construction of the Rooftop Terrace in accordance with the Final Roof Terrace Plan. All of the costs to design, permit and construct the Rooftop Terrace, including materials and finishes incorporated therein, the costs of the general contractor, general conditions, general requirements and overhead (and shall represent the actual
Page 20
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
costs to Landlord, without markup and without any construction management fee to Landlord), the aggregate of the amounts payable under the subcontracts selected and indirect costs, as set forth in the selected bids, a reasonable contingency and all other costs for permits, insurance, overhead, and performance of the Rooftop Terrace work shown on the Final Roof Terrace Plan shall be hereinafter referred to as “Rooftop Terrace Project Costs.” Tenant shall be responsible to pay the Rooftop Terrace Project Costs incurred by Landlord and such Rooftop Terrace Project Costs shall accrue interest commencing on the date of each disbursement by Landlord of any Rooftop Terrace Project Costs through the Tenant Reimbursement Date (as defined below) in an amount equal to six percent (6%) per annum (which shall include the soft costs included in the Rooftop Terrace Project Costs). Within ninety (90) days after the Substantial Completion Date, Landlord shall deliver a final accounting of the Rooftop Terrace Project Costs (based on “open book” backup from the general contractor, subcontractors and suppliers) in reasonable detail together with supporting documentation regarding such Rooftop Terrace Project Costs (the “Final Project Costs Statement”). Within thirty (30) days after the delivery by Landlord of the Final Project Costs Statement (the “Tenant Reimbursement Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent under the Lease, the entire amount of Rooftop Terrace Project Costs, including any accrued interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may elect, in its sole discretion, by written notice to Tenant not later than one hundred (180) days prior to the Tenant Reimbursement Date, to require that all or any portion of the Rooftop Terrace Project Costs be amortized over the initial Term of the Lease or a direct reduction basis over one hundred eighty (180) months at an annual interest rate of six percent (6%) (the “Amortization Amount”) in 180 monthly installments (“Monthly Improvement Cost Payments”) payable, as Additional Rent, on the first day of each month following the Rent Commencement Date (provided that if the Rent Commencement Date is the first day of a month such payments shall commence on the Commencement Date) in the same manner as provided in the Lease for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent; provided however, that in the event that the Rooftop Terrace Project Costs exceed $2,000,000.00 (“Maximum Amount”), then, in addition to the Monthly Improvement Cost Payments, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on or before the Tenant Reimbursement Date, all such Rooftop Terrace Project Costs in excess of the Maximum Amount and only the Maximum Amount will be amortized and payable by Tenant as part of the Monthly Improvement Cost Payments. Landlord and Tenant agree to execute and deliver an amendment to the Lease to memorialize the amounts and Tenant’s obligation to pay the Monthly Improvement Cost Payments as provided in this Section 5.0, provided that the parties’ failure to execute such amendment shall not modify Tenant’s obligations as determined above. Neither the Amortization Amount nor the Monthly Improvement Cost Payments shall be abated or reduced for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, untenantability of the Premises or termination of the Lease). Without limiting the foregoing, the rent abatement provisions of Section 7.7, Article XIV and any other rent abatement provisions of the Lease shall not apply to the Amortization Amount or the Monthly Improvement Cost Payments. Since the payment of the Amortization Amount represents a reimbursement to Landlord of costs which Landlord will incur in connection with the construction of the Premises, if there is any default (beyond the expiration of any applicable grace periods) of any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation, its obligation to pay the Monthly Improvement Cost Payments) or if the term of the Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever prior to the termination of the term of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon demand, the unamortized balance of the Amortization
Page 21
Exhibit B
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas, Inc. Lease
Amount. Tenant’s obligation to pay the unamortized balance of the Amortization Amount shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies which Landlord has based upon any default of Tenant under the Lease, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit or reduction in such payment based upon amounts collected by Landlord from reletting the Premises after the default of Tenant.

FORM OF TENANT GUARANTY
GUARANTY OF LEASE
THIS GUARANTY is made as of the _____ day of __________ 2015 (“Effective Date”) by C & J CLARK LIMITED, a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales with company number 3314066 (“Guarantor”), whose registered office is at 40 High Street, Somerset, BA 16 OEQ England, Attention: Company Secretary and Head of Legal, to 1265 Main Office Subsidiary LLC (“Landlord”), having an address at c/o Boston Properties, Inc., 800 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02199.
WHEREAS, Landlord has leased to Clarks Americas, Inc. (“Tenant”) the entire leasable rentable area (the “Premises”) of the building located at 1265 Main Street, Waltham, Massachusetts, pursuant to that certain lease by and between Landlord and Tenant dated as of the date hereof (the “Lease”); and
WHEREAS, Guarantor is materially benefited by the Lease and Landlord’s execution of the Lease constitutes good, valuable and sufficient consideration for Guarantor’s execution of this Guaranty; and
WHEREAS, the undertaking by Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty is a material inducement to Landlord to enter into the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, Guarantor agrees with Landlord as follows:
1. (a) Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and
punctual payment of rent, operating expenses, additional rent and all other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease including any amendments thereto. If for any reason any sums described herein pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease shall not be paid promptly when due (“Payment Breach”), Guarantor will, within five (5) business days after notice from Landlord to Guarantor (or any later time if provided by the Lease), cure a Payment Breach by paying the same to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Lease regardless of (i) whether Landlord shall have taken any steps to enforce any rights against Tenant or any other person to collect such sum or any part thereof, (ii) the termination of the Lease, or (iii) any Tenant’s petition in any court, whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or any State, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceeding or receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or other similar officer is appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property by a court of competent jurisdiction (each a “Bankruptcy Event”). Guarantor also agrees to pay
Page 1
Exhibit N
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas. Inc. Lease
to Landlord the cost of collecting any sums described herein and all other reasonable costs of enforcing this Guaranty, including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees.
(b) Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and prompt performance and observance of each and every covenant, obligation and agreement in the Lease required to be performed and observed by Tenant under the Lease. If for any reason Tenant shall fail to perform or observe each and every covenant, obligation and agreement required to be performed and observed by Tenant (other than a Payment Breach as described above) as set forth in the Lease (“Non-Monetary Breach”), Guarantor will, promptly after notice thereof from Landlord, cause such covenant, obligation or agreement to be performed and observed in accordance with the terms of the Lease regardless of (i) whether Landlord shall have taken any steps to enforce such covenant, obligation or agreement against Tenant or any other person, (ii) the termination of the Lease, or (iii) any Bankruptcy Event. Guarantor also agrees to pay to Landlord such further amount as shall be incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform or observe any covenant, obligation or agreement and all other reasonable costs of enforcing this Guaranty, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.
(c) Guarantor further agrees to be liable to Landlord for all damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) suffered by Landlord on account of any default by Tenant under the Lease but subject to any limitations expressly set forth in the Lease. Landlord shall look solely to the assets of Guarantor to enforce Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty and no partner, shareholder, director, officer, principal, member, manager, representative, employee or agent, directly and indirectly, if Guarantor shall be personally liable for the performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty and, except for Tenant’s liability under Section 16.18 of the Lease, in no event shall Guarantor ever be liable to Landlord for any indirect or consequential damages or loss of profits or the like. All amounts owed by Guarantor to Landlord under this Guaranty shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Lease) from the date due until the date paid to Landlord.
(d) This Guaranty (i) is irrevocable, unconditional and absolute, (ii) is a guaranty of full payment and performance (and not merely collection), and (iii) and is a continuing guaranty (and not a guaranty from month-to-month or a periodic guaranty).
(e) Guarantor assumes the responsibility to remain informed of the financial condition of Tenant and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of Tenant’s default, which reasonable inquiry would reveal, and agrees that Landlord shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstance.
2. (a) The obligations, covenants and agreements of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no way be affected or impaired for any reason whatsoever, and Guarantor shall have no defense whatsoever to the enforcement of this Guaranty, including without limitation, by reason of the happening from time to time of any of the following, whether or not Guarantor has been notified thereof or consented thereto:
Page 2

(vi) any failure, omission or delay on the part of Landlord to enforce, to assert or to exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on or available to Landlord in or by the Lease or this Guaranty, or any action on the part of Landlord granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever;
(vii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting Tenant or Guarantor or any of their assets;
(viii) the release of Tenant or Guarantor from the performance or observation of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Lease or this Guaranty by operation of law;
(ix) any renewal or extension of the term of the Lease;
(x) the breach of or the default under the Lease by Tenant;
(xi) any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Lease, or the termination or expiration of the Lease;

Guarantor, separate and distinct from Tenant, further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability of Tenant or by reason of any legal or equitable releases or discharge of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. Guarantor further agrees that, in its capacity as a guarantor, it shall not be required to consent to or to receive any notice of any supplement to or amendment of or waiver or modification of the terms and provisions of the Lease.
4. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that:
(a) Guarantor is a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales with company
number 3314066;
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty are within Guarantor’s power and authority, do not contravene the charter or the by-laws of Guarantor or any indenture, mortgage, credit agreement, note, long-term lease or other material agreement to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor is bound; and
(c) This Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Guarantor.
5. (a) In the event of the termination, rejection, disaffirmance or other avoidance of the Lease by Tenant or Tenant’s trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to bankruptcy law or any other law affecting creditors’ rights, Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to the same extent as if the Lease had not been so terminated, rejected, disaffirmed or otherwise avoided, and Guarantor will, and hereby does (without the necessity of any further agreement or act), assume all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under the Lease to the same extent as if (i) Guarantor were originally named Tenant under the Lease, and (ii) there had been no such rejection, disaffirmance or other avoidance, and Guarantor will confirm such assumption in writing promptly at the request of Landlord upon or after such rejection, disaffirmance or other avoidance. Guarantor shall and does hereby waive all rights and benefits which might, in whole or in part, relieve Guarantor from the performance of its duties and obligations under this Guaranty by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar proceeding, and Guarantor agrees that it is and shall be liable for all payment and performance guaranteed hereunder, without regard to any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of Tenant that may result from such proceedings.

Page 4
Exhibit N
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas. Inc. Lease
(i) any waiver, consent or other action or inaction or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy or power with respect to Tenant or any change in the structure of Tenant; or
(ii) any change in ownership of the shares of capital stock of
Guarantor or Tenant or any other merger or consolidation of either of them into or with any other person.
(b) No payment by Guarantor pursuant to any provision of this Guaranty shall entitle Guarantor, by subrogation, indemnification or otherwise, to the rights of Landlord, to any payment by Tenant, or to any recovery from any property of Tenant. Guarantor waives any right Guarantor may now or hereafter have against Tenant (and/or any other guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease) with respect to this Guaranty (including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or similar right, and any right to participate in any claim, right or remedy of Landlord against Tenant or any security which Landlord may now or hereafter have with respect to the Lease), whether such right arises under an express or implied contract, by operation of law, or otherwise. Guarantor shall be deemed not to be a “creditor” of Tenant by reason of the existence of this Guaranty in the event that Tenant becomes a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Tenant under the Lease is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Landlord as a result of any proceeding in bankruptcy or reorganization or similar proceedings. In the event action is taken against the Guarantor, in addition to the attorneys’ fees and costs for which the Guarantor is liable to the Landlord arising from the Tenant’s breach, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in addition thereto in taking action and pursuing it against the Guarantor shall be paid by the Guarantor. The Landlord may file an affidavit from its attorney with the court as to such attorneys’ fees past, present, and to be reasonably incurred in future activity, and the court may act upon the affidavit; Guarantor hereby waives any hearing as to the issue of attorneys’ fees.
6. (a) This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without regard to the application of choice of law principles).
(b) Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that all financial information regarding Guarantor that has been delivered to Landlord is true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date reflected in such financial information.

(c) This Guaranty may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement duly executed by Guarantor and Landlord.
(d) Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be personal and primary and not secondary, and shall be joint and several with that of Tenant and any other guarantors.

Landlord may proceed against Guarantor under this Guaranty without first initiating or exhausting its remedy or remedies against Tenant or any other guarantors. Landlord may proceed against Tenant, Guarantor and any other guarantors separately or concurrently. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease or this Guaranty to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to apply or not apply any security deposit or other credit in favor of Tenant as Landlord shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, and Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall not be affected in any manner thereby.

FIXED RENT PREMIUM FOR NEWTON LEASE
Attached is the Holding Over provision of the Newton Lease. If the Hold Over provision of the Newton Lease becomes applicable, then, pursuant to that provision, the “Base Rent payable shall be the greater of (a) two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent payable immediately preceding the termination date of this Lease or (b) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the fair market Base Rent for the Premises as of the date Tenant holds over...”. The amounts below assume that 200% of the monthly installment of Base Rent due for December of 2016 will be greater than 125% of the fair market rent, provided, however, that whichever calculation method applies, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to pay any Fixed Rent Premium in excess of $351,532.00 per month in the aggregate.
The monthly installment of Base Rent due for December of 2016 under the Newton Lease is $340,975.25. Therefore, based on the attached Holding Over provision from the Newton Lease and assuming a 200% increase in the monthly installment of Base Rent, the amount of Fixed Rent Premium for the Newton Lease is $340,975.25.
There is also (i) a License Agreement dated May 1, 2012 to use a storage space at the Newton location through December 31, 2016, unless terminated by either party on thirty (30) days prior written notice, at $4,060.42 per month, and (ii) a letter agreement dated March 20, 2006 for another storage space for a month to month tenancy for $6,463.00. Assuming that the Newton landlord would permit the use of both storage spaces after December 31, 2016 at 200% of the monthly rent, the “holdover” rent for the additional storage spaces would be $10,523.42.

B. Landlord is the tenant under that certain Ground Lease dated __________, 2015 (“Ground Lease”) made with Overlandlord, as landlord, and Landlord, as tenant, covering a parcel of land (the “Office Parcel”) more particularly described in Exhibit A-2 attached hereto, and shown on the “1265 Main Street Entire Project Site Plan”, notice of which is recorded with the Middlesex South County Registry of Deeds in Book ______, Page ______. The Office Parcel is contemplated by Landlord and Tenant to be redeveloped with certain improvements to the existing building on the Office Parcel (the “Building”) and other improvements to the Office Parcel that will be operated subject to and in accordance with the Ground Lease and the Declaration (as defined below). The Office Parcel, and all rights, privileges, easements and appurtenances to be used or connected with the beneficial use or enjoyment thereof, and all right, title and interest in and to all streets, abutting or serving the Office Parcel whatsoever thereunto belonging, or in any way appertaining thereto (collectively, the “Office Project”).

D. Tenant is the tenant under that certain Lease dated _______, 2015 made with Landlord (as hereinafter amended from time to time, the “Lease”), covering certain premises (the “Premises”) at the Office Parcel as more particularly described in the Lease, notice of which has been recorded with said Middlesex South Registry of Deeds. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.
E. Tenant requires, as a condition to entering into the Lease, that its rights under the Lease be recognized as set forth herein.
F. Overlandlord, Landlord and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Ground Lease, the Declaration and the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and with the understanding by Overlandlord that Tenant will rely hereon, Overlandlord, Landlord, and Tenant agree as follows:
1. Subordination. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder are subordinate and inferior to the Ground Lease and any amendment, renewal, substitution, extension or replacement thereof.
2. Non-Termination of Ground Lease. Overlandlord and Landlord agree, for the benefit of Tenant, that if the Ground Lease is terminated (i) by voluntary agreement between Overlandlord and Landlord or (ii) by reason of rejection of the Ground Lease by Landlord in a bankruptcy proceeding (or for any reason other than a voluntary termination with a Successor Landlord for a Replacement Lease in accordance with this Section 2) prior to the end of the term of the Lease as it may be extended, if there is not an Event of Default as defined in the Lease (“Event of Default”), Overlandlord hereby agrees with Tenant to recognize Tenant as Overlandlord’s tenant under the Lease and Tenant hereby agrees with Overlandlord to attorn to and recognize Overlandlord as Tenant’s landlord under the Lease, in both cases, as fully and completely as if the Lease were a direct lease between Overlandlord, as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant. This Section 2 shall apply and be self-operative notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, the Lease may terminate upon the termination of the Ground Lease, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect hereto. Overlandlord and Tenant each agree, upon request of the other after termination of the Ground Lease, to execute from time to time instruments to evidence and confirm the application of this Section 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after such recognition and attornment pursuant to this Section 2, Overlandlord shall have the right under Section 16.13 of the Lease to enter into a new ground lease of the Office Parcel with a third party (a “Successor Landlord”) and Tenant shall cooperate with Overlandlord and execute such documents as Overlandlord may reasonably request, including a replacement lease of the Office Parcel with the Successor Landlord on the same terms and conditions of the Lease, (subject to such modifications as may be reasonably necessary to reflect the termination of the Ground Lease and change in the Landlord entity) (a “Replacement Lease”) and provided that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Replacement Lease.
3. Non-Disturbance. So long as there is not an Event of Default under the Lease, (a) the Lease shall not be terminated, and Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, and rights
Page 2
Exhibit Q
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas. Inc. Lease
under, the Lease shall not (except as otherwise provided herein) be disturbed by Overlandlord in the exercise of any of its rights under the Ground Lease, as the same may be amended, renewed, substituted, extended or replaced during the term of the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof made in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and (b) Overlandlord will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding for the purpose of terminating Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease because of any default under the Ground Lease or any termination thereof unless such joinder is required to comply with applicable laws, and, in that instance, without disturbing Tenant’s rights under the Lease.
4. Attornment and Certificates. In the event Overlandlord succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, then Tenant shall attorn to Overlandlord and shall recognize Overlandlord thereafter as the Landlord under the Lease and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Overlandlord shall accept such attornment and assume all obligations of the Landlord under the Lease. Such attornment by Tenant and Overlandlord’s acceptance and assumption shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument. Overlandlord and Tenant agree, however, to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Overlandlord or Tenant (a) any instrument or certificate which, in the reasonable judgment of such requesting party, may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment and assumption, and (b) an instrument or certificate regarding the status of the Lease in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Overlandlord and Tenant.
5. Limitations. If Overlandlord exercises any of its rights under the Ground Lease, or if Overlandlord shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under the Lease in any manner, Overlandlord shall have the same remedies by entry, action or otherwise in an Event of Default that Landlord had or would have had if Overlandlord or such assignee had not succeeded to the interest of the present Landlord. From and after Tenant’s attornment pursuant to Section 4 above, Overlandlord shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease including, without limitation, for continuing obligations of Landlord to Tenant under the Lease, and Tenant shall, from and after such attornment to Overlandlord, have the same rights under the Lease and remedies against Overlandlord for the breach of an agreement contained in the Lease whether arising before or after such acceptance and assumption by Overlandlord, that Tenant might have had under the Lease against Landlord, if Overlandlord had not succeeded to the interest of Landlord (except as otherwise provided herein or in the Lease).
6. Rights Reserved. Nothing herein contained is intended, nor shall it be construed, to abridge or adversely affect any right or remedy of Landlord or Tenant under the Lease, including any subsequent Landlord, against Tenant after an Event of Default.
7. Obligations of Overlandlord and Master Developer and Joinder as to Appurtenant Rights. During the term of the Lease, Master Developer agrees to maintain and repair or cause to be repaired and maintained the common areas and facilities of the 1265 Main Street Entire Project Site to the extent required to be maintained and repaired by Master Developer pursuant to the terms of the Declaration. Subject to the right to change or alter any of the following in accordance with the terms of the Lease, Master Developer agrees to provide, and hereby joins in Landlord’s obligations under the Lease to provide, to Tenant throughout the term of the Lease as appurtenant to the Premises, (a) the non-exclusive right, in accordance with the terms of the Lease, to use the Common Elements (as defined in the Declaration) of the 1265 Main Street
Page 3
Exhibit Q
1265 Main Street Clarks Americas. Inc. Lease
Entire Project Site as to which Tenant has appurtenant rights under the Lease, including, without limitation, Section 2.2 of the Lease, and (b) Tenant’s parking rights set forth in and subject to the terms of Section 10.1 of the Lease and Tenant’s signage rights set forth in and subject to the terms of Sections 17.2(C) and 17.2(D) of the Lease. In addition, except (x) as required to comply with applicable Legal Requirements or Landlord’s express obligations under the Lease, and/or (y) with respect to standard utility and access easements, including standard utility installations, so long as the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been terminated and Tenant satisfies the Leasing Threshold, Overlandlord and Master Developer agree that neither Overlandlord nor Master Developer shall perform any alterations, installations or improvements to the Property or grant or enter into any easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, licenses, declarations and other similar agreements affecting the Property or any amendments or modifications to any such existing agreements (including, without limitation, the Declaration) which would or would reasonably be anticipated to have a Tenant Adverse Impact (as that term is defined in the Lease, in any event, without first obtaining Tenant’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a direct conflict between the terms and conditions of the Lease and the provisions of the Declaration or any commercially reasonable rules and regulations from time to time in effect for and applicable to the 1265 Main Street Entire Project Site, the provisions of the Lease shall control with respect to the Property. Overlandlord agrees that a termination of the Ground Lease shall not affect any of Overlandlord’s obligations to Tenant under this Section 7 and the easements and appurtenant rights benefitting the Office Parcel set forth in the Declaration and the Ground Lease shall continue in full force and effect for, as the case may be, the non-exclusive benefit of Tenant, prior to and after any termination of the Ground Lease. Master Developer agrees, with respect to any Tenant signage rights in the Lease that require Master Developer’s approval, Master Developer will not unreasonably withhold or delay consent to the applicable Tenant’s Signage so long as the proposed signage is consistent with the style, design and/or brand of tenant directional signage or multi-tenant signage, as applicable, at the Complex.
8. Consistency of Lease and Ground Lease. Overlandlord and Landlord hereby confirm that it is the intention of both Overlandlord and Landlord that nothing in the Ground Lease as the same may be amended, renewed, substituted, extended or replaced that is or will be inconsistent with or contrary to the Lease, which may be enjoyed by Tenant in accordance with its terms both prior to and after any succession by Overlandlord to the interest of Landlord thereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the Lease and the Ground Lease, the provisions of the Lease shall be deemed to control with respect to the rights and obligations of Tenant, Landlord, and Overlandlord; provided, however, that any amendment to the Lease hereafter entered into by Tenant and Landlord that adversely affects Overlandlord’s rights or obligations under the Ground Lease shall not be binding on Overlandlord, unless either (a) Overlandlord approves such amendment or (b) at the time of such amendment Overlandlord is an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Landlord. No amendment or replacement of the Ground Lease that has a Tenant Adverse Impact (as defined in the Lease) will be binding on Tenant.
9. Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be given or delivered: (i) by United States mail, registered or certified, postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, or (ii) by recognized courier service or recognized

11. Limitations on Liability.

such trustee, nor any member, manager, partner, director or stockholder of Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent shall ever be personally liable for any such liability. This paragraph shall not limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord’s successors-in-interest, or to take any other action which shall not involve the personal liability of Landlord, or of any successor holder of Landlord’s interest under the Lease, or of any beneficiary of any trust of which any person from time to time holding Landlord’s interest is trustee, or of any such trustee, or of any manager, member, partner, director or stockholder of Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent, to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Building, as aforesaid.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE
THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE (the “Third Amendment”) dated as of this 21st day of May, 2020 by and between 1265 MAIN OFFICE SUBSIDIARY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and CLARKS AMERICAS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
RECITALS
By Lease dated April 30, 2015 (as amended by a certain First Amendment to Lease dated July 11, 2016 and a certain Second Amendment to Lease dated January 17, 2017, the “Lease”), Landlord did lease to Tenant and Tenant did hire and lease from Landlord certain premises (the “Premises”) comprised of the building numbered 60 Tower Road, Waltham, Massachusetts (the “Building”), all as described with greater specificity in the Lease.
Landlord and Tenant have agreed to modify Tenant’s obligation to pay Annual Fixed Rent for the Premises (as that term is defined in Section 1.2 of the Lease) and are entering into this instrument to amend the Lease accordingly.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration in hand this date paid by each of the parties to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, and in further consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to and with each other as follows:
1. (A) Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Lease, but subject to the terms and provisions of this Third Amendment, during the months of April, May and June, 2020 (the “Relief Months”), Tenant shall be required to make payment on account of Annual Fixed Rent for the Premises, Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises, Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and Monthly Improvement Cost Payments due under the Lease in an amount equal to $177,644.58 per month, representing forty percent (40%) of the amounts that would otherwise have been due and payable under the Lease on account of the “Monthly Recurring Rent Charges” (as hereinafter defined) for each of the Relief Months.
For the purposes hereof, the term “Monthly Recurring Rent Charges” shall mean Tenant’s payments on account of Annual Fixed Rent for the Premises, Landlord's Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises, Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and Monthly Improvement Cost Payments. In connection therewith, Landlord acknowledges receipt of the amount of $355,289.16 representing the Monthly Recurring Rent Charges due for the months of April and May 2020 (it being further acknowledged and agreed that Landlord is hereby waiving Landlord’s notice to Tenant dated April 17, 2020 and any late charges associated with amounts due as of April 1, 2020 as set forth therein).
1
1265 Main Street/Amendments/Clarks Third Amendment(C)
(B) The remaining sixty percent (60%) of the amounts that would otherwise have been due and payable under the Lease on account of the Monthly Recurring Rent Charges for each of the Relief Months, in the total amount of $799,400.58 ($266,466.86 per month) (the “Deferred Rent”), shall remain due and payable and must be paid by Tenant in full on or before July 31, 2021.
Any portion of the Deferred Rent that has not been paid on or before January 31, 2021 (the “Unpaid Deferred Rent”) shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum retroactive to April 1, 2020. Commencing on February 1, 2021, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the Unpaid Deferred Rent in six (6) equal monthly installments (each, a “Reimbursement Installment Payment”) to be paid by Tenant on the first day of each month, together with the monthly payment of Annual Fixed Rent and applicable monthly Additional Rent (Landlord and Tenant hereby agreeing to enter into a lease amendment or other agreement to memorialize the amount of Unpaid Deferred Rent and Reimbursement installment Payments, provided however that the parties’ failure to execute such documentation shall not modify Tenant’s obligations as set forth herein). Tenant shall have the option of paying the Unpaid Deferred Rent in full at any time during the time period when it would otherwise be making Reimbursement Installment Payments. Tenant’s failure to timely pay any Reimbursement Installment Payment beyond any applicable notice and grace periods shall entitle Landlord to all rights and remedies available to it under the Lease for Tenant’s failure to make any installment of Annual Fixed Rent under the Lease.
(C) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if prior to the date on which the Deferred Rent has been paid in full, Tenant shall be in default of any of its obligations under the Lease and such default shall continue beyond any applicable notice and grace period, (x) Landlord shall have all rights and remedies under the Lease or at law or in equity in connection with such default, and (y) Tenant shall be obligated to immediately pay to Landlord the balance of the Deferred Rent then due and payable (which such obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease).
(D) The rent modification provided by this Third Amendment shall be (i) applicable only during such period that Tenant is not in default of its obligations under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and grace period, and (ii) personal to Tenant, and not transferable to any assignee or sublessee of Tenant; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the Deferred Rent relief provided in this Third Amendment shall remain in effect as long as Tenant has neither assigned the Lease nor sublet more than forty (40%) of the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises (except for an assignment or subletting permitted without Landlord’s consent under Section 12.5 of the Lease).
2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant hereby waives any rights to rent abatement under the Lease, if any, whether arising in the past, present or in the future related to the current COVID-19 pandemic and/or associated government orders unless and to the extent such right arises solely as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. If the Lease contains any other rights to reduce rent payments, terminate the Lease or otherwise exercise any other rights in
2
1265 Main Street/Amendments/Clarks Third Amendment(C)
accordance with any force majeure, casualty, condemnation or other similar provision as a consequence of the current COVID-19 pandemic and/or associated governmental orders, then Tenant’s ability to exercise such rights shall be suspended for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. Tenant agrees that the subject matter of this Third Amendment is, and shall remain strictly confidential pursuant to and except as provided in Section 16.8 of the Lease, and Tenant may disclose the same to the parties to whom disclosure of confidential information is permitted under said Section 16.8, including Tenant’s outside counsel and tax auditors in connection with the performance of their respective professional services for Tenant, but excluding any Tenant brokers unless Tenant has first obtained Landlord’s prior written consent (which may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion). Any breach of confidentiality by Tenant or any of its principals, officers, employees, agents, contractors, successors or assigns shall entitle Landlord to all rights and remedies under the Lease or at law or in equity and shall have the effect of nullifying this Third Amendment (in which event unpaid amounts during the Relief Months shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease as the same existed prior to this Third Amendment and not as amended hereby within five (5) days of Landlord’s notification of Tenant’s breach of this Section 3 and nullification of this Third Amendment).
4. It is understood that this Third Amendment applies to, and modifies, only Tenant’s obligation to pay the Monthly Recurring Rent Charges and only for the Relief Months, and thereafter Tenant’s obligations will be governed by the existing terms of the Lease, unless Landlord and Tenant have agreed in writing to different terms. The parties agree that except as otherwise modified by this Third Amendment, the Lease remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed.
5. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings as are set forth in the Lease.
6. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to the other that all necessary action has been taken to enter this Third Amendment and that the person signing this Third Amendment on its behalf has been duly authorized to do so.
7. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Third Amendment may be executed by electronic signature, which shall be considered as an original signature for all purposes and shall have the same force and effect as an original signature. Without limitation, “electronic signature” shall include faxed versions of an original signature or electronically scanned and transmitted versions (e.g., via pdf) of an original signature.

GUARANTY OF LEASE
THIS GUARANTY is made as of the _____ day of January, 2021 (the “Effective Date”) by C&J CLARK (NO. 1) LIMITED, a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales with company number 03342369 (“Guarantor”), whose registered office is at 40 High Street, Somerset, BA 16 OEQ England, Attention: Company Secretary and Head of Legal, to 1265 Main Office Subsidiary LLC (“Landlord”), having an address at c/o Boston Properties, Inc., 800 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02199.
WHEREAS, Landlord has leased to Clarks Americas, Inc. (“Tenant”) the entire leasable rentable area (the “Premises”) of the building located at 1265 Main Street, Waltham, Massachusetts, pursuant to that certain lease by and between Landlord and Tenant dated as of April 30, 2015 (as the same may have been previously amended or modified or may hereafter be amended or modified, the “Lease”); and
WHEREAS, Guarantor is materially benefited by the Lease and Landlord’s execution of the Lease constitutes good, valuable and sufficient consideration for Guarantor’s execution of this Guaranty; and
WHEREAS, the undertaking by Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty is a material inducement to Landlord to enter into the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, Guarantor agrees with Landlord as follows:
1. (a) Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual payment of rent, operating expenses, additional rent and all other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease (whether arising before or after the Effective Date) including any amendments thereto. If for any reason any sums described herein pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease shall not be paid promptly when due (“Payment Breach”), Guarantor will, within five (5) business days after notice from Landlord to Guarantor (or any later time if provided by the Lease), cure a Payment Breach by paying the same to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Lease regardless of (i) whether Landlord shall have taken any steps to enforce any rights against Tenant or any other person to collect such sum or any part thereof, (ii) the termination of the Lease, or (iii) any Tenant’s petition in any court, whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or any State, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceeding or receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or other similar officer is appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property by a court of competent jurisdiction (each a “Bankruptcy Event”). Guarantor also agrees to pay to Landlord the cost of collecting any sums described herein and all other reasonable costs of enforcing this Guaranty, including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees.
(b) Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and prompt performance and observance of each and every covenant, obligation and agreement in the Lease
Exhibit A
Page 1
1265 Main Street/Amendments/Clarks Fourth Amendment (d)
required to be performed and observed by Tenant under the Lease (whether arising before or after the Effective Date). If for any reason Tenant shall fail to perform or observe each and every covenant, obligation and agreement required to be performed and observed by Tenant (other than a Payment Breach as described above) as set forth in the Lease (“Non-Monetary Breach”), Guarantor will, promptly after notice thereof from Landlord, cause such covenant, obligation or agreement to be performed and observed in accordance with the terms of the Lease regardless of (i) whether Landlord shall have taken any steps to enforce such covenant, obligation or agreement against Tenant or any other person, (ii) the termination of the Lease, or (iii) any Bankruptcy Event. Guarantor also agrees to pay to Landlord such further amount as shall be incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform or observe any covenant, obligation or agreement and all other reasonable costs of enforcing this Guaranty, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.
(c) Guarantor further agrees to be liable to Landlord for all damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) suffered by Landlord on account of any default by Tenant under the Lease (whether arising before or after the Effective Date) but subject to any limitations expressly set forth in the Lease. Landlord shall look solely to the assets of Guarantor to enforce Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty and no partner, shareholder, director, officer, principal, member, manager, representative, employee or agent, directly and indirectly, of Guarantor shall be personally liable for the performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty and, except for Tenant’s liability under Section 16.18 of the Lease, in no event shall Guarantor ever be liable to Landlord for any indirect or consequential damages or loss of profits or the like. All amounts owed by Guarantor to Landlord under this Guaranty shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Lease) from the date due until the date paid to Landlord.
(d) This Guaranty (i) is irrevocable, unconditional and absolute, (ii) is a guaranty of full payment and performance (and not merely collection), and (iii) and is a continuing guaranty (and not a guaranty from month-to-month or a periodic guaranty).
(e) Guarantor assumes the responsibility to remain informed of the financial condition of Tenant and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of Tenant’s default, which reasonable inquiry would reveal, and agrees that Landlord shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstance.
2. (a) The obligations, covenants and agreements of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no way be affected or impaired for any reason whatsoever, and Guarantor shall have no defense whatsoever to the enforcement of this Guaranty, including without limitation, by reason of the happening from time to time of any of the following, whether or not Guarantor has been notified thereof or consented thereto:
(i) the waiver by Landlord of the performance or observance by Tenant, Guarantor or any other party of any of the agreements, covenants or conditions contained in the Lease or this Guaranty;
Exhibit A
Page 2
1265 Main Street/Amendments/Clarks Fourth Amendment (d)
(ii) payment by Tenant or Guarantor of any sums owing or payable under the Lease or this Guaranty;
(iii) any assignment of the Lease or subletting of the Premises or any part thereof and this Guaranty may not be assigned without Landlord’s express consent;
(iv) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any of the obligations of Tenant or Guarantor under the Lease or this Guaranty;
(v) the doing or the omission of any of the acts referred to in the Lease or this Guaranty (including, without limitation, the giving of any consent referred to therein);
(vi) any failure, omission or delay on the part of Landlord to enforce, to assert or to exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on or available to Landlord in or by the Lease or this Guaranty, or any action on the part of Landlord granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever;
(vii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting Tenant or Guarantor or any of their assets;
(viii) the release of Tenant or Guarantor from the performance or observation of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Lease or this Guaranty by operation of law;
(ix) any renewal or extension of the term of the Lease;
(x) the breach of or the default under the Lease by Tenant;
(xi) any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Lease, or the termination or expiration of the Lease;
(xii) the single or partial exercise of Landlord’s rights under this Guaranty.
Exhibit A
Page 3
1265 Main Street/Amendments/Clarks Fourth Amendment (d)
(b) To the extent not prohibited by law, Guarantor hereby expressly waives (i) any right Guarantor may now or hereafter have to any hearing prior to the attachment of any real or personal property of Guarantor to satisfy the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and (ii) the benefits of any present or future constitution, statute or rule of law which exempts property from liability for debt.
3. Guarantor hereby expressly waives:
(a) the protection of any statute or rule of law requiring Landlord to deliver any notice to Guarantor or to pursue or exhaust any remedies against Tenant prior to proceeding against Guarantor in the event of default by Tenant under the Lease; and
(b) Except for the notices provided in Subsections 1(a) and 1(b) of this Guaranty, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of any obligations or liabilities contracted or incurred by Tenant, diligence, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor, non-payment or non-performance.
Guarantor, separate and distinct from Tenant, further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability of Tenant or by reason of any legal or equitable releases or discharge of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. Guarantor further agrees that, in its capacity as a guarantor, it shall not be required to consent to or to receive any notice of any supplement to or amendment of or waiver or modification of the terms and provisions of the Lease.
4. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that:
(a) Guarantor is a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales with company number 03342369;
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty are within Guarantor’s power and authority, do not contravene the charter or the by-laws of Guarantor or any indenture, mortgage, credit agreement, note, long-term lease or other material agreement to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor is bound; and
(c) This Guaranty has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Guarantor.
5. (a) In the event of the termination, rejection, disaffirmance or other avoidance of the Lease by Tenant or Tenant’s trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to bankruptcy law or any other law affecting creditors’ rights, Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to the same extent as if the Lease had not been so terminated, rejected, disaffirmed or otherwise avoided, and Guarantor will, and hereby does (without the necessity of any further agreement or act), assume all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under the Lease to the same extent as if (i) Guarantor were originally named Tenant under the Lease, and (ii) there had been no such rejection, disaffirmance or other avoidance, and Guarantor will confirm such assumption in writing promptly at the request of Landlord upon or after such rejection, disaffirmance or other avoidance. Guarantor shall and does hereby waive all rights and benefits which might, in whole or in part, relieve Guarantor from the performance of its duties and obligations under this Guaranty by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or
Exhibit A
Page 4
1265 Main Street/Amendments/Clarks Fourth Amendment (d)
similar proceeding, and Guarantor agrees that it is and shall be liable for all payment and performance guaranteed hereunder, without regard to any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of Tenant that may result from such proceedings. Furthermore, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder will not be discharged by:
(i) any waiver, consent or other action or inaction or any exercise or non-exercise of any right, remedy or power with respect to Tenant or any change in the structure of Tenant; or
(ii) any change in ownership of the shares of capital stock of Guarantor or Tenant or any other merger or consolidation of either of them into or with any other person.
(b) No payment by Guarantor pursuant to any provision of this Guaranty shall entitle Guarantor, by subrogation, indemnification or otherwise, to the rights of Landlord, to any payment by Tenant, or to any recovery from any property of Tenant. Guarantor waives any right Guarantor may now or hereafter have against Tenant (and/or any other guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease) with respect to this Guaranty (including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or similar right, and any right to participate in any claim, right or remedy of Landlord against Tenant or any security which Landlord may now or hereafter have with respect to the Lease), whether such right arises under an express or implied contract, by operation of law, or otherwise. Guarantor shall be deemed not to be a “creditor” of Tenant by reason of the existence of this Guaranty in the event that Tenant becomes a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Tenant under the Lease is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Landlord as a result of any proceeding in bankruptcy or reorganization or similar proceedings. In the event action is taken against the Guarantor, in addition to the attorneys’ fees and costs for which the Guarantor is liable to the Landlord arising from the Tenant’s breach, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in addition thereto in taking action and pursuing it against the Guarantor shall be paid by the Guarantor. The Landlord may file an affidavit from its attorney with the court as to such attorneys’ fees past, present, and to be reasonably incurred in future activity, and the court may act upon the affidavit; Guarantor hereby waives any hearing as to the issue of attorneys’ fees.
6. (a) This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without regard to the application of choice of law principles).
(b) Guarantor represents, warrants and covenants that all financial information regarding Guarantor that has been delivered to Landlord is true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date reflected in such financial information. Upon receipt of a written request from Landlord (which may be delivered not more frequently than once per calendar year except in connection with a proposed sale or financing of the Property), Guarantor shall deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) business days’ following Landlord’s request, Guarantor’s consolidated financial statements, audited by Chartered Accountants in their role as Statutory Auditor (or a similarly qualified accountant), for the then most currently available fiscal year stating, among other things, Guarantor’s revenues and net income, net worth/assets and liabilities. Guarantor shall make a senior member of its finance team available to answer any questions Landlord may have concerning such financial statements and shall deliver any additional information reasonably
Exhibit A
Page 5
1265 Main Street/Amendments/Clarks Fourth Amendment (d)
requested by Landlord to clarify or verify the data shown on the statements provided pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided Landlord agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of Section 16.8 of the Lease with respect to such information.
(c) This Guaranty may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement duly executed by Guarantor and Landlord.
(d) Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be personal and primary and not secondary, and shall be joint and several with that of Tenant and any other guarantors. No waiver, release or modification of the obligations of any such person or entity shall affect the obligations of any other such person or entity. Landlord may proceed against Guarantor under this Guaranty without first initiating or exhausting its remedy or remedies against Tenant or any other guarantors. Landlord may proceed against Tenant, Guarantor and any other guarantors separately or concurrently. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease or this Guaranty to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to apply or not apply any security deposit or other credit in favor of Tenant as Landlord shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, and Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall not be affected in any manner thereby. All remedies afforded to Landlord by reason of this Guaranty are separate and cumulative.
(e) Within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s written request to Guarantor, Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing confirming reasonable amendments to the Lease that have been mutually agreed upon in writing by Landlord and Tenant, any reasonable amendments to this Guaranty that have been mutually agreed upon in writing by Landlord and Guarantor, whether this Guaranty is in full force and effect, and any reasons or defenses supporting any claim that this Guaranty is not in full force and effect.

Markforged Announces New Global Corporate Headquarters To Accommodate Company’s Growth
Materials Manufacturing Facility Will Also Nearly Double Footprint in 2022
Watertown, Mass.—Dec. 22, 2021—Markforged (NYSE: MKFG), creator of the integrated metal and carbon fiber additive manufacturing platform, The Digital Forge, today announced its plans to relocate its global headquarters to Waltham, Mass. The new corporate headquarters will unite Markforged employees who have been working from two different facilities in Watertown in one location at 60 Tower Road, and Markforged will nearly double its footprint to enable further growth.
“I am very proud of our team’s successes over the last year and the momentum that we’re building. We continue to grow and accelerate our product roadmap, and are seeing demand for our newest products, like the FX20. Our rapidly growing team has nearly doubled in 2021, and this headquarters relocation is a natural next step that will enable us to create a state-of-the-art space for our employees, our partners, and our customers to experience what Markforged is all about,” said Shai Terem, President and CEO. “I am most excited about bringing our corporate, commercial, and engineering teams together under one roof to fuel collaboration and innovation. Working as one team is the most important value of our culture and our success, and this new space will empower our employees to work side by side to fulfill our mission to reinvent manufacturing.”
The new headquarters will occupy 120,000 square feet across four floors. This LEED Gold certified, modern workspace can accommodate over 500 team members with an expansive 5,000 square foot roof deck, high windows with natural light, and an interactive product showroom that will create a collaborative environment for Markforged employees and is within walking distance of local restaurants and shops. In addition, the company will be building out state-of-art engineering facilities and laboratories for its teams to continue delivering the accelerated and innovative product roadmap around hardware, software, and consumables that make up the Digital Forge. Markforged expects to complete the move in the fall of 2022.
In addition, as Markforged looks to meet demands for its products, it will also nearly double the size of its Billerica, Mass. filament manufacturing facility in 2022 by adding nearly 22,000 square feet, bringing the total footprint to 46,000 square feet. Markforged anticipates the completion of this expansion by the end of next year.
“As we introduce new products like the FX20 to the marketplace, we are excited to invest in the company to meet customer demand,” said Matt Gannon, Vice President, Operations at Markforged. “This new space will better position Markforged to scale our consumables processes and lay the foundation for new materials development.”
Rob Byrne and Philip Verre of Cushman & Wakefield brokered the lease for Markforged with Boston Properties, owner of 60 Tower Road. IA Interior Architects has been selected as the design firm to create a headquarters that will support Markforged’s growth and reflect its strong culture.
