RECITALS

 

A.            The owner and lessor of the Premises immediately prior to the Effective Date, CSS I, LLC, and Tenant entered into an Amended and Restated Lease dated as of April 22, 2020 for Units 1, 2, 3 5 (portion) and 6 of the CSS Commercial Condominium, consisting of approximately 79,500 rentable square feet in the building commonly known as 310 Kenneth Welch Drive, Lakeville, MA as more fully described in the Lease ("Premises").

 

B.            Subsequently, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease Amendment #1 dated October 21, 2020 which provided for the installation of Back up Equipment in the Engine Room portion of the Premises which shall serve as automatic (and, to the extent not automatic without human intervention, promptly engaged pursuant to the Lease) backup equipment providing the same performance levels required to meet the required service levels of heating and chilling capacity. The Amended and Restated Lease dated April 22, 2020,the Lease Amendment #1 dated October 21, 2020 shall collectively be referred to as the "Lease".

 

C.            On the Effective Date, Landlord has acquired the Premises and is the successor landlord to Tenant.

 

D.            CSS I, LLC and Landlord, as part of Landlord's acquisition of the Premises, requested Tenant execute an estoppel certificate and subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement. As an inducement for Tenant to execute such estoppel certificate and a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement, without acknowledgment that successor landlord is in breach of the Lease, Landlord has agreed to ratify and complete the installation and operationalization of the Back up Equipment as set forth in this Second Amendment.

 

E.            Landlord and Tenant desire to amend and to modify the Lease as set forth in this Second Amendment.

 

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

 

1.            Recitals. The recitals set forth above are agreed to be correct and are incorporated herein. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Second Amendment, but defined in the Lease, shall have the meaning set forth in the Lease.

2.            Rent reimbursement for expansion of Engine Room. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the base amount for calculating rent reimbursement due from Landlord to Tenant for the purchase of the equipment referenced in Lease Amendment #1 shall be a fixed amount equaling $2,350,000.00, together with 4% interest accrued thereon and amortizing over 120 months, equating to a $23,793 rent credit per month in Tenant's favor commencing in February 2023 and continuing for 119 additional months. For avoidance of doubt, attached hereto as Exhibit A is the agreed upon schedule of (i) Tenant's remaining additional monthly rent payments of $120,000 relating to the installation of the Back up Equipment, with the next payment due in February 2022 and the final such payment due January 2023, and (ii) rent credits to Tenant of $23,793 per month, commencing February 2023 and continuing through and including January 2033.

 

3.            Installation of Equipment. As of the date hereof, the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Landlord has completed installation of the air handler units specified in Amendment #1 to the Lease; (ii) for Landlord's obligation in Amendment #1 with respect to the installation of the Back up Equipment to be deemed satisfied, such equipment must be (A) sufficiently sized to generate eight million BTUs of heating capacity and 650 tons of chiller capacity, and (B) such equipment must be operating within its advertised specifications (collectively, the "Back up Capacity Standard"); and (iii) Landlord has procured and is in the process of finalizing the installation of the equipment described on Exhibit B attached hereto to serve as the Back up Equipment. Within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, Landlord agrees to properly complete installation of any and all Back up Equipment necessary to meet the Back up Capacity Standard, including any and all electrical hook ups, and further allow for primary control of such Back up Equipment which is exclusively benefiting Tenant. Landlord shall only install equipment which is in good and operative condition. Upon the completion of the installation, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant, and Tenant shall be permitted to conduct an inspection of the equipment and the installation within ten (10) business days' receipt of written notice from Landlord. As part of such notice, Landlord shall confirm, via Stadelmann and Nexgen, all such equipment has been installed per code. Within five (5) business days of such inspection by Tenant, Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice that it either approves or disapproves the Back up Equipment installed by Landlord, and if it disapproves, specify the reason therefor; failure to provide such notice shall be deemed an approval by Tenant. To the extent Tenant notifies Landlord that it disapproves, the parties shall work in good faith to agree upon and hire an independent industry expert to test the Back up Equipment, using industry standard testing protocols, to determine whether such equipment meets the Back up Capacity Standard, and the parties hereby agree to be bound by such determination; the parties shall split equally the cost of such industry expert. To the extent such industry expert determines that the fully operational Back Up Equipment does not meet the Back up Capacity Standard, then Landlord shall promptly make such changes or additions to the Back up Equipment, up to a cost to Landlord of $300,000.00, necessary for such equipment, as then installed and configured by Landlord, to meet the Back up Capacity Standard. For the avoidance of doubt, if Tenant further installs additional equipment in the Engine Room at its expense necessary to cause the Back up Equipment to meet the Back up Capacity Standard, such additional equipment shall be owned by Tenant and subject to Tenant's obligation to remove such equipment at the termination or expiration of the Lease unless otherwise agreed by Tenant and Landlord.
