FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE This First Amendment to Lease (this “Amendment”), made as of March 16, 2006, by and between ARE-MA REGION NO. 28, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and ALNYLAM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
Amendment to Lease If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the Availability Premises or any portion thereof as set forth herein, then, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such Availability Premises to this Lease upon the same terms and conditions as the Initial Premises, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.4 or the Availability Notice, and provided that the terms of the Tenant Work Letter shall not apply with respect to the Availability Premises (except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4.5, above); provided, however, an otherwise valid exercise of Tenant’s right of availability shall be of full force and effect irrespective of whether such amendment is ever signed by Landlord and Tenant. Except to the extent inconsistent with the determination of Availability Premises Rent, all provisions of the Lease which vary based upon the rentable and usable square footage of the Premises shall be adjusted to reflect the addition of such Availability Premises to the Premises; provided, however, the L-C Amount shall be increased pursuant to the terms of Section 21.7 of this Lease, below. The rentable square footage of such Availability Premises shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Section 1.2 of this Lease. To the extent Tenant exercises its right of first offer with respect to any portion of the Availability Premises during the first (1st) year after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall commence payment of Availability Premises Rent and Excess as to such space to Landlord upon that date (the “Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date”) which is two hundred ten (210) days after the later of the delivery date set forth in the Availability Notice and the date Landlord delivers the Availability Premises in the Delivery Condition (the “Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date”). To the extent Tenant exercises its right of availability with respect to any portion of the Availability Premises anytime after the first (1st) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, the Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date shall occur one hundred eighty (180) days after the Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date. In all cases, the lease term of the Availability Premises (or any portion thereof) shall expire on the Lease Expiration Date, subject to extension of this Lease; provided, however, in the event the remaining Lease Term is less than thirty-six (36) months from the applicable Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date, then the Lease Term shall be extended for a period of time sufficient for Tenant’s lease of the Premises to be coterminous with Tenant’s lease of the Availability Premises (which shall be thirty-six (36) months from the applicable Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date), and the base rental rate for the Premises during this extended period shall be adjusted to Market Rent for the Premises determined in accordance with Section 2.2.4 and the Base Year shall be the year in which the Lease would have otherwise expired (if on or before July 31) or the following year (if after July 31). This extension shall have no impact on Tenant’s extension rights hereunder, which may be exercised at the end of the extended Lease Term. This Lease shall commence as to the Availability Premises (and references to Premises shall include the applicable Availability Premises) on the Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date.
Consent of Landlord Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or sublet the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to sublet up to fifty percent (50%) of the total rentable square feet contained within the Leased Premises without the necessity of obtaining Landlord's prior consent and without releasing the Tenant from liability under this Lease. Prior to any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall first notify Landlord in writing of its election to sublease all or a portion of the Leased Premises or to assign this Lease or any interest hereunder, and shall provide Landlord current financial information and other information requested by Landlord regarding the proposed assignee or subtenant. At any time within fifteen (15) days after service of said notice and delivery of such information, Landlord shall notify Tenant that it consents or refuses to consent to the sublease or assignment. Landlord shall not have the right to recapture any sublease or assignment space. Any denial of such sublease or assignment by Landlord as hereinabove provided must be predicated upon a "commercially reasonable basis" for such denial. Tenant shall retain any profits paid in connection with a sublease or assignment in excess of Tenant's Base Rent obligations hereunder, which profits shall be calculated after deducting all costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the space subject to the transfer, which shall include, but not be limited to, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and the time to sublease and remodel the Leased Premises. Any assignment or subletting shall not release Tenant of its liability under this Lease nor permit any subsequent assignment, subletting or other prohibited act, unless specifically provided in such consent. Within thirty (30) days of any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall provide to Landlord executed copies of all assignment or subleasing documents.
Amendment of Lease The Lease is hereby amended as follows:
Amendments to Lease The Lease is hereby amended as follows:
Definition of Landlord With regard to obligations imposed upon Landlord pursuant to this Lease, the term “Landlord,” as used in this Lease, shall refer only to Landlord or Landlord’s then-current successor-in-interest. In the event of any transfer, assignment or conveyance of Landlord’s interest in this Lease or in Landlord’s fee title to or leasehold interest in the Property, as applicable, Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the subsequent Landlord) shall be automatically freed and relieved, from and after the date of such transfer, assignment or conveyance, from all liability for the performance of any covenants or obligations contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed by Landlord and, without further agreement, the transferee, assignee or conveyee of Landlord’s in this Lease or in Landlord’s fee title to or leasehold interest in the Property, as applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to observe and perform any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder during the tenure of its interest in the Lease or the Property. Landlord or any subsequent Landlord may transfer its interest in the Premises or this Lease without Tenant’s consent.
General Description of Land Use 3.3.1 The use(s) of the Lands permitted by this Agreement are the following:
Lease of Premises Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant for the Term of this Lease and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and Tenant hereby accepts from Landlord, the Premises.
Delivery; Acceptance of Premises; Commencement Date Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Commencement Date, with Landlord’s Work Substantially Completed (“Delivery” or “Deliver”). If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. If Landlord does not Deliver the Premises within 45 days of the Target Commencement Date for any reason other than Force Majeure delays and Tenant Delays, this Lease may be terminated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, and if so terminated by Tenant: (a) the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e., after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant, and (b) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease. As used herein, the terms “Landlord’s Work,” “Tenant Delays” and “Substantially Completed” shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Work Letter. If Tenant does not elect to void this Lease within 10 business days of the lapse of such 45 day period, such right to void this Lease shall be waived and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant does not terminate this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Base Rent shall be abated 1 day for each day after such 45 day period (as extended by Force Majeure delays and Tenant Delays) that the Premises are not Delivered to Tenant.
Expansion of Premises Provided that the demising wall is erected in the location specified on Exhibit A attached hereto, for purposes of calculating Fixed Monthly Rent and Tenant’s Share the parties hereby stipulate that the Expansion Premises contains approximately 9,271 square feet of Rentable Area and approximately 7,836 square feet of Usable Area. As of the Expansion Date, the definition of the Premises shall be revised to include both the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space, and wherever in the Lease the word “Premises” is found, it shall thereafter refer to both the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space together, as if the same had been originally included in said Lease, subject to the terms and conditions of this First Amendment. Landlord and Tenant agree that a recalculation of the Usable Area of the Expansion Space shall be made after the Expansion Date by Xxxxxxxxx Systems, Inc., an independent planning firm, using the 2010 ANSI/BOMA Standard set forth collectively by the American National Standards Institute and the Building Owners and Managers Association (“ANSI/BOMA Standard”), as a guideline, and that Landlord is utilizing a deemed add-on factor of 18.31% to compute the Rentable Area of the Expansion Space. Tenant and Landlord agree to document the revised Usable Area as documented by Xxxxxxxxx Systems, and the other matters specified below that will be determined upon such Usable Area being confirmed, in the Memorandum (as defined in Section 4 below). Landlord and Tenant further agree that the Rentable Area of the Expansion Space shall be calculated on the basis of 1.1831 times the estimated Usable Area, regardless of what actual common areas of the Building may be, or whether they may be more or less than 18.31% of the total estimated Usable Area of the Building, and is provided solely to give a general basis for comparison and pricing of this space in relation to other spaces in the market area. Landlord and Tenant further agree that once the Rentable Area and Usable Area of the Expansion Space have been determined as specified hereinabove, even if later either party alleges that the actual Rentable Area or Usable Area of the Expansion Space is more or less than the figures stated herein; and whether or not such figures are inaccurate, for all purposes of the Lease, the Rentable and Usable figures agreed upon shall be conclusively deemed to be the Rentable Area, or Usable Area of the Expansion Space, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any adjustment in the Usable Area and/or Rentable Area as determined pursuant to this Section 4, and provided the demising wall is erected in the location indicated on Exhibit A attached hereto and the Expansion Space plan as depicted on Exhibit A is not modified after this First Amendment is executed, there shall be no change in the Fixed Monthly Rent due for the Expansion Space as set forth in Section 5.2, below or in Tenant’s Share as set forth in Section 6, below. As of the Expansion Date, the total Usable Area of the Premises shall be 27,983 square feet and the total Rentable Area of the Premises shall be 31,338 square feet, subject to confirmation of the Usable Area and Rentable Area as provided above. [***] = CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION. If the demising wall is erected in a location different from that as indicated on Exhibit A attached hereto, or if the Expansion Space plan as depicted on Exhibit A is otherwise modified after this First Amendment is executed, and if as a result the Rentable Area of the Expansion Space is increased or decreased pursuant to this Section 4 then (a) the Fixed Monthly Rent commencing on the first calendar day of the thirteenth (13th) calendar month after the Expansion Date shall be recalculated based on $2.13 per square foot of Rentable Area of the Expansion Space, per month; (b) thereafter, the Fixed Monthly Rent shall be adjusted to result in an increase of three percent (3%) per annum, cumulative over the Expansion Term; (c) as of the Expansion Date, Security Deposit for the Expansion Space shall be adjusted to an amount equal to one month’s Fixed Monthly Rent for the Expansion Space due during the last year of the Term; (d) as of the Expansion Date, if the Usable Area of the Expansion Space is increased or decreased pursuant to this Section 4, then “Tenant’s Share” as set forth herein for the Expansion Space shall be increased or decreased equally, by dividing the newly calculated Usable Area of the Expansion Space by the Usable Area of the Building; (e) the Allowance shall equal $32.50 per square foot of Rentable Area within Expansion Space; and (f) all other amounts based on the Usable Area of the Expansion Space or Rentable Area of the Expansion Space shall be adjusted appropriately. Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute a memorandum (the “Memorandum”) confirming the finalized Delivery Date, Expansion Date, the Fixed Monthly Rent escalation dates as described in Section 5.b. below, and the other matters specified above as soon as they are determined. Tenant shall execute the Memorandum and return it to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days after receipt thereof. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver the Memorandum shall constitute an acknowledgement by Tenant that the statements included in such Memorandum are true and correct.
