1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lantheus and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2023 or any future period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 23, 2023.
Progenics Acquisition
On June 19, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 20, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Lantheus Holdings, Plato Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lantheus Holdings (“Merger Sub”), and Progenics, Lantheus Holdings completed the acquisition of Progenics by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Progenics, with Progenics becoming an indirect subsidiary of Lantheus Holdings following the completion of such merger (the “Progenics Acquisition”).
In connection with the Progenics Acquisition, Lantheus Holdings issued 26,844,877 shares of Lantheus Holdings common stock and 86,630,633 contingent value rights (each a “CVR”) tied to the financial performance of PYLARIFY to former Progenics stockholders and option holders. Each CVR entitled its holder to receive a pro rata share of aggregate cash payments equal to 40% of United States (“U.S.”) net sales generated by PYLARIFY in 2022 and 2023 in excess of $100.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively. The Company’s aggregate payments in respect of the CVRs, together with any other non-stock consideration treated as paid in connection with the Progenics Acquisition, was capped at 19.9% of the total consideration the Company paid in the Progenics Acquisition. Based on the Company’s 2022 PYLARIFY net sales, the Company determined that the aggregate payment obligation under the CVRs was $99.6 million, which was the maximum amount payable. The Company paid out this amount in May 2023 in full satisfaction of the CVRs.

________________________________
(1)The Company’s product revenue includes PYLARIFY and DEFINITY among other products. This category represents the delivery of physical goods. The Company applies the same revenue recognition policies and judgments for all its principal products.
(2)The Company recognized $24.0 million license revenue in the first quarter of 2022 related to an agreement with Novartis Pharma AG.
The Company classifies its revenues into three product categories: Radiopharmaceutical Oncology, Precision Diagnostics, and Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue. Radiopharmaceutical Oncology includes PYLARIFY and AZEDRA. Precision Diagnostics includes DEFINITY, TechneLite and other diagnostic imaging products. Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue includes strategic partnerships and other arrangements related to other products of the Company, including our royalty revenue from our license of RELISTOR.
On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into a global settlement agreement with Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”), Advanced Accelerator Applications USA, Inc. (“AAA”), Endocyte, Inc. (“Endocyte”) and their affiliates (the “Novartis Agreement”) to settle certain disputes between the parties. Under the Novartis Agreement, Novartis agreed to make a lump sum payment to the Company, as well as to reimburse the Company for certain fees and expenses in connection with certain litigation, and the Company agreed to license certain intellectual property to Novartis. In addition, the Company agreed to supply PYLARIFY for clinical purposes at an arms-length value which will be recorded revenue in the future as product is provided. In accordance with the Company's ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, assessment, Novartis is considered to be a customer. The Company determined that the $24.0 million that Novartis paid to the Company pursuant to the Novartis Agreement constituted a single element which was satisfied on the date of the execution of the Novartis Agreement. The Company determined that the license of intellectual property carried a fair value of $24.0 million. As such, the Company assigned the value of the license to be $24.0 million, which constitutes the entire transaction price and does not require further allocation. The Company determined that the $24.0 million represented the point at which Novartis, as the licensee, was able to use and benefit from the license and recognized revenue when the license was granted to Novartis upon execution of the Novartis Agreement. The Company recognized the $24.0 million fee as revenue on its consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Revenue by product category on a net basis is as follows:

The Company would be required to allocate a portion of its revenue received from commercial contracts to future reporting periods to the extent the Company had performance obligations that extended beyond one year. However, the Company’s performance obligations are typically part of contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. As such, the Company is not disclosing the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) as of the end of the reporting period.
4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability of fair value measurements, financial instruments are categorized based on a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
•Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.) and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect a Company’s estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis currently consist of money market funds and contingent consideration liabilities. The Company invests excess cash from its operating cash accounts in overnight investments and reflects these amounts in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
The tables below present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3.
As part of the Progenics Acquisition, the Company issued CVRs and recorded the fair value as part of consideration transferred. Each CVR entitled its holder to receive a pro rata share of aggregate cash payments equal to 40% of U.S. net sales generated by PYLARIFY in 2022 and 2023 in excess of $100.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, subject to a maximum cap. Refer to Note 1, “Basis of Presentation” for further details on the CVRs. Based on the U.S. net sales generated by PYLARIFY in 2022, the Company paid out the maximum amount payable under the CVRs from available cash in May 2023 in full satisfaction of the CVR obligation.
The Company also assumed contingent consideration liabilities related to a previous acquisition completed by Progenics in 2013 (“2013 Acquisition”). These contingent consideration liabilities include potential payments of up to $70.0 million if the Company attains certain net sales targets primarily for AZEDRA and 1095 (also known as 131 I-MIP-1095) and a $5.0 million 1095 commercialization milestone. Additionally, there is a potential payment of up to $10.0 million related to a 1404 commercialization
milestone. The Company’s total potential payments related to the 2013 Acquisition are approximately $85.0 million. The Company considers the contingent consideration liabilities relating to the 2013 Acquisition each a Level 3 instrument (one with significant unobservable inputs) in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of these was determined based on probability adjusted discounted cash flows and Monte Carlo simulation models that included significant estimates and assumptions pertaining to commercialization events and sales targets. The most significant unobservable inputs with respect to 1095 and 1404 are the probabilities of achieving regulatory approval of those development projects and subsequent commercial success.
Significant changes in any of the probabilities of success, the probabilities as to the periods in which sales targets and milestones will be achieved, discount rates or underlying revenue forecasts would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The Company records the contingent consideration liability at fair value with changes in estimated fair values recorded in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company can give no assurance that the actual amounts paid, if any, in connection with the contingent consideration liabilities, will be consistent with any recurring fair value estimate of such contingent consideration liabilities.
The following tables summarize quantitative information and assumptions pertaining to the fair value measurement of liabilities using Level 3 inputs at June 30, 2023.

| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
The change in fair value of the contingent financial liabilities resulted in a reduction of general and administrative expense of $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and was primarily due to changes in revenue forecasts and the passage of time (excluding the CVRs). The Company made the applicable cash payment related to the CVRs in May 2023.
5. Income Taxes
The Company calculates income taxes at the end of each reporting period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full year, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period they occur. Cumulative adjustments to the tax provision are recorded in the reporting period in which a change in the estimated annual effective tax rate is determined. The Company’s income tax expense is presented below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
(in thousands) | 2023 | | 2022 | | 2023 | | 2022 |
Income tax expense | $ | 29,557 | | | $ | 18,987 | | | $ | 21,260 | | | $ | 33,926 | |
The Company regularly assesses its ability to realize its deferred tax assets. Assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets requires significant management judgment. In determining whether its deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company evaluated all available positive and negative evidence, and weighed the objective evidence and expected impact. The Company continues to retain immaterial valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the medical imaging business from Bristol-Myers Squibb (“BMS”) in 2008, the Company recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions related to the acquired business and simultaneously entered into a tax indemnification agreement with BMS under which BMS agreed to indemnify the Company for any payments made to settle those uncertain tax positions with the state taxing authorities. Accordingly, a long-term receivable is recorded to account for the expected value to the Company of future indemnification payments to be paid on behalf of the Company by BMS, net of actual tax benefits received by the Company. The tax indemnification receivable is recorded within other long-term assets.
In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the change in the tax liabilities, penalties and interest associated with these obligations (net of any offsetting federal or state benefit) is recognized within income tax expense. As these reserves change, adjustments are included in income tax expense while the offsetting adjustment is included in other income. Assuming that the remaining receivable from BMS continues to be considered recoverable by the Company, there will be no effect on net income and no net cash outflows related to these liabilities.
6. Inventory
Inventory consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | June 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
Raw materials | $ | 25,312 | | | $ | 19,987 | |

Finished goods | 15,086 | | | 7,254 | |
Total inventory | $ | 51,801 | | | $ | 35,475 | |
Inventory costs associated with products that have not yet received regulatory approval are capitalized if the Company believes there is probable future commercial use of the product and future economic benefit of the asset. If future commercial use of the
product is not probable, then inventory costs associated with such product are expensed during the period the costs are incurred. The Company has no inventory pending regulatory approval as of June 30, 2023.
7. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment, net, consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | June 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
Land | $ | 9,480 | | | $ | 13,450 | |

Total property, plant and equipment, net | $ | 129,981 | | | $ | 122,166 | |
Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant and equipment, net, was $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $6.7 million and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of a decline in expected future cash flows related to a certain asset group, the Company determined certain impairment triggers had occurred. The Company reviewed revised undiscounted cash flows that were estimated to be generated by the asset group as of June 30, 2023. Based on the undiscounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that the asset group had net carrying values that exceeded their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. The Company then estimated the fair value of the asset group based on their discounted cash flows. The carrying value exceeded the fair value and as a result, the Company recorded a noncash impairment of $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Long-Lived Assets Held for Sale
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company committed to a plan to sell a portion of its land and buildings associated with its Billerica, Massachusetts campus. Effective March 16, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “P&S”) with a prospective buyer. The assets were classified as held for sale and comprised entirely of property, plant and equipment, net. The Company determined that the fair value of the net assets being sold exceeded the carrying value as of June 30, 2023. The purchase price for the campus sale is $10.0 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close during the second half of 2023.

9. Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company considers its legal obligation to remediate its facilities upon a potential decommissioning of its radioactive-related operations as an asset retirement obligation. The Company has production facilities which manufacture and process radioactive materials at its North Billerica, Massachusetts and Somerset, New Jersey sites. As of June 30, 2023, the liability is measured at the present value of the obligation expected to be incurred and is approximately $25.1 million.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations:

Total | | | | | $ | 489,761 | | | $ | (174,476) | | | $ | 315,285 | |
The Company recorded amortization expense for its intangible assets of $12.4 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $23.5 million and $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
In March 2023, the Company stopped all development activities in relation to a future indication associated with AZEDRA, which is classified as an in process research and development (“IPR&D”) intangible asset. The Company did not identify any alternative future uses or development programs for the asset, therefore the asset group, which consists of the IPR&D asset and a currently marketed product, was assessed for impairment as of March 31, 2023. The Company considered several factors including market share, price and competitive product offerings in evaluating the quantitative impact of the future cash flows. The Company
concluded that the carrying amount exceeded the fair value of the asset group, which had no value. Accordingly, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge associated with the IPR&D asset of $15.6 million in research and development expenses and a non-cash impairment charge of $116.4 million in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In February 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Cerveau to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of Cerveau for approximately $35.3 million. In May 2023, upon successful completion of a technology transfer, the Company paid $10.0 million to the selling stockholders of Cerveau. This additional contingent payment was capitalized as part of the asset cost and increased the Company’s customer relationship intangible assets. See Note 19, “Acquisition of Assets” for further discussion of the Cerveau acquisition.
The below table summarizes the estimated aggregate amortization expense expected to be recognized on the above intangible assets:

In December 2022, the Company refinanced its existing credit facility, consisting of (i) a $200.0 million five-year term loan facility (the “2019 Term Facility”) and (ii) a $200.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2019 Term Facility, the “2019 Facility”), with a new $100.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “2022 Term Facility” and, the loans thereunder, the “Term Loans”) and a new $350.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2022 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2022 Term Facility, the “2022 Facility”).
The Company used approximately $7.8 million of cash on hand to primarily repay the principal amount of the loans outstanding related to the 2019 Facility through the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, in December 2022, the Company used approximately $167.6 million of cash on hand to repay in full the aggregate remaining principal amount of the loans outstanding under the 2019 Facility and to pay related interest, transaction fees and expenses.
The Company paid off the 2019 Term Facility using available cash and did not utilize another term loan to fund the payoff. While the 2022 Term Facility allowed for a delayed draw term loan, the loan was not drawn upon. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts associated with
the 2019 Term Facility. In addition, the Company incurred and capitalized $2.7 million of new deferred financing costs related to the refinancing.
2022 Term Facility
The Company expected to draw from the 2022 Term Facility only if a proposed offering of notes by the Company was not consummated. The commitment of the lenders to provide the 2022 Term Facility was terminated upon the completion of such note offering in December 2022. The 2022 Term Facility included a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the 2022 Term Facility, which would have been payable commencing on January 16, 2023 and would have ended on the earliest of (i) the day the Term Loans under the 2022 Term Facility were funded, (ii) the last day of the delayed draw availability period and (iii) the day the commitments under the 2022 Term Facility were reduced to zero. The Company did not draw from the 2022 Term Facility and, as such, no interest is due under this instrument.
2022 Revolving Facility
Under the terms of the 2022 Revolving Facility, the lenders are committed to extending credit to the Company from time to time until December 2, 2027 consisting of revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $350.0 million (the “Revolving Commitment”) at any time, including a $20.0 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) and a $10.0 million sub-facility for swingline loans (the “Swingline Loans”). The Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and the Revolving Loans, if used, are expected to be used for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.
The Revolving Loans bear interest, with pricing based from time to time at the Company’s election, at (i) the secured overnight financing rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on its website plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.50% based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio or (ii) the alternative base rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.50% based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The 2022 Revolving Facility also includes an unused commitment fee at a rate ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.
The Company is permitted to voluntarily prepay the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, or reduce or terminate the Revolving Commitment, in each case, without premium or penalty. On any business day on which the total amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans exceeds the total Revolving Commitment, the Company must prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. The Company is not required to make mandatory prepayments under the 2022 Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Facility.
The Company has the right to request an increase to the Revolving Commitment in an aggregate principal amount of up to the sum of $335.0 million or consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended, plus additional amounts in certain circumstances (collectively, the “Incremental Cap”), minus certain incremental term loans made pursuant to specified incremental term loan commitments (“Incremental Term Loans”). The Company has the right to request Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to the Incremental Cap less any incremental increases to the Revolving Commitment. Proceeds of Incremental Term Loans may be used for working capital and for other general corporate purposes and will bear interest at rates agreed between the Company and the lenders providing the Incremental Term Loans.
2022 Facility Covenants
The 2022 Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative and reporting covenants, as well as financial maintenance covenants pursuant to which the Company is required to be in quarterly compliance, measured on a trailing four quarter basis, with two financial covenants. The minimum interest coverage ratio, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, must be at least 3.00 to 1.00. The maximum total net leverage ratio permitted by the financial covenant is displayed in the table below:
2022 Credit Agreement
| | | | | |
Period | Total Net Leverage Ratio |
Q2 2023 to Q4 2023 | 4.00 to 1.00 |
Q1 2024 and thereafter | 3.50 to 1.00 |
The 2022 Facility contains usual and customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness (ii) create liens; (iii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments; (vi) make certain investments; (vii) repay subordinated indebtedness prior to stated maturity; and (viii) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates.
Upon an event of default, the Administrative Agent will have the right to declare the loans and other obligations outstanding under the 2022 Facility immediately due and payable and all commitments immediately terminated.
The 2022 Facility is guaranteed by Lantheus Holdings, and certain subsidiaries of LMI, including Progenics and Lantheus Real Estate, and obligations under the 2022 Facility are generally secured by first priority liens over substantially all of the assets of each of LMI, Lantheus Holdings, and certain subsidiaries of LMI, including Progenics and Lantheus Real Estate (subject to customary exclusions set forth in the transaction documents) owned as of December 2, 2022 or thereafter acquired.
Convertible Notes
On December 8, 2022, the Company issued $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”), which includes $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Notes. The Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of December 8, 2022 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, LMI (the “Guarantor”), as Guarantor, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $557.8 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantor. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.625% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2023, and will mature on December 15, 2027 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms. The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 12.5291 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $79.81 per share of the Company’s common stock, representing an initial conversion premium of approximately 42.5% above the closing price of $56.01 per share of the Company’s common stock on December 5, 2022). In no event shall the conversion rate per $1,000 in principal amount of notes exceed 17.8539 shares of the Company’s common stock. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2027, the Notes may be converted at the option of the holders only upon occurrence of specified events and during certain periods, and thereafter until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Notes may be converted at any time. The Company will satisfy any conversion by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after December 22, 2025 if the closing sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price of the Notes for a specified period of time. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Company evaluated the Notes upon completion of the sale and concluded on the following features:
•Conversion Feature: The Company determined that the conversion feature qualifies for the classification of equity. As a result, the conversion feature should not be bifurcated as a derivative instrument and the Notes were accounted for as a single liability.
•Redemption Features: The redemption features were reviewed within the Notes and the Company determined that the redemption features are closely related to the Notes and as such should not be separately accounted for as a bifurcated derivative instrument.
•Additional Interest Features: The Notes may result in additional interest if the Company fails to timely file any document that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will pay additional interest on the notes at a rate equal to 0.25% to 0.50% per annum based on the principal amount of notes outstanding for each day the Company failure to file has occurred or the notes are not otherwise freely tradable. Further, if the notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by holders other than our affiliates or holders that were our affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding as of the 385th day after the last date of original issuance of the notes offered hereby, the Company will pay additional interest on the notes at a rate equal to (i) 0.25% to 0.50% per annum based on the principal amount of notes outstanding for each day until the restrictive legend has been removed from the notes, the notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP and the notes are freely tradable. The Company concluded that the interest feature is unrelated to the credit risk and should be bifurcated from the Notes, however, the Company assessed the probabilities of triggering events occurring under these features and does not expect to trigger the aforementioned events. These events will continue to be monitored to determine whether the interest feature will be bifurcated if it has value.
As of June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the Notes was $575.0 million and the fair value of the liability was $575.0 million. The Company recorded interest expense of approximately $3.9 million and $7.8 million related to the Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. There were no conversions of Notes during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
12. Derivative Instruments
The Company has used, but does not currently use, interest rate swaps to reduce the variability in cash flows associated with portions of the Company’s interest payments on variable rate debt. In March 2020, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to fix the LIBOR rate on a notional amount of $100.0 million through May 31, 2024. The average fixed LIBOR rate on the interest rate swaps was approximately 0.82%. This agreement involved the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. In accordance with hedge accounting, the interest rate swaps were recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value, and changes in the fair value of the swap agreements were recorded to other comprehensive loss and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affected earnings or it will become probable that the forecasted transaction would not occur.
On December 2, 2022, the Company voluntarily terminated the interest rate swap contracts in connection with the refinancing of debt. Upon termination, the Company received approximately $5.6 million in cash and the remaining balance of approximately $5.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swap contracts were reclassified into earnings.
13. Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income
The components of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax of zero and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, consisted of the following:

On May 4, 2023, the Company entered into a modification to the operating lease for office space in Bedford, Massachusetts, (the “Existing Premises”) that was executed in February 2022. The lease commenced and was recorded in December 2022 for $11.0 million and the initial term was set to expire in June 2031. The lease modification includes a lease of additional office and laboratory space at the Bedford location (the “Additional Premises”) for a term of 15 years and 4 months and extends the term of the lease for the Existing Premises to be coterminous with the term of the lease for the Additional Premises. As a result of the extended term for the Existing Premises, the Company recorded an additional right-of-use asset and liability of $6.0 million. The modification also contains a provision to convert the rent schedule of the Existing Premises from gross to triple net in 2024, which may result in an additional adjustment to the right of use asset and liability. The Additional Premises are currently being renovated and the associated right-of-use asset and liability will be recorded once renovations are substantially complete. The lease payments for the Additional Premises are currently expected to commence in the second half of 2024 when renovation of the Additional Premises is expected to be completed.
16. Net Income Per Common Share
A summary of net income per common share is presented below:

| | | | | | | |
Antidilutive securities excluded from diluted net income per common share | 349 | | | 268 | | | 389 | | | 196 | |
Impact of the Notes
The Company considered whether the Notes are participating securities through the two-class method. The Company determined that if a cash dividend is paid that is greater than the then stock price, the holder of Notes will receive cash on an if-converted basis.
While this feature is considered to be a participating right; basic earnings per share is only impacted if the Company’s earnings exceeds the current share price, regardless of whether such dividend is declared. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no such dividend was declared. In addition, the Company is required to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion, and therefore, the Company uses the if-converted method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion option on diluted net income per share, if applicable, unless the application of the two-class method is dilutive. The conversion option will have a dilutive impact on net income per share of Common Stock when the average price per share of the Company's common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of the Notes of $79.81 per share. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeded the conversion price of the Notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the average price per share of the Company's Common Stock was below the conversion price of the Notes.
17. Other Income
Other income consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

18. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company has in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to investigations by governmental and regulatory authorities, which expose it to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory or other proceedings, as a result of which the Company could be required to pay significant fines or penalties. The costs and outcome of litigation, regulatory or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims, actions or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. In addition, intellectual property disputes often have a risk of injunctive relief which, if imposed against the Company, could materially and adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations. If a matter is both probable to result in material liability and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company estimates and discloses the possible material loss or range of loss. If such loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability is not recorded in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any material ongoing litigation to which the Company was a party.
19. Acquisition of Assets
On February 6, 2023, the Company acquired Cerveau. Cerveau’s primary asset is MK-6240, a second-generation F 18-labeled positron emission tomography (“PET”) imaging agent that targets Tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease. The Company determined that upon review of the Cerveau acquisition, the transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination and is therefore treated as an asset acquisition.
In February 2023, the Company made an upfront payment of approximately $35.3 million to the stockholders of Cerveau (the “Selling Stockholders”) and paid an additional $10.0 million in May 2023 upon the successful completion of a technology transfer. The Company could pay up to an additional $51.0 million in milestone payments upon achievement of specified U.S. regulatory milestones related to MK-6240. The Selling Stockholders are also eligible to receive up to $1.2 billion in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual commercial sales thresholds of MK-6240 in the event the Company pursues commercialization, as well as up to $13.5 million in research revenue milestones upon achievement of specified annual research revenue thresholds. Additionally, the Company will pay to the Selling Stockholders up to double-digit royalty payments for research revenue and commercial sales. Research revenue is derived from existing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies that use MK-6240 in clinical trials and includes milestone and dose-related payments. The purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased Cerveau specifies, among other things, that certain members of the Selling Stockholders will also provide transition and clinical development services for a prescribed time following the closing of the transaction.
In December 2022, the Company made upfront payments of $260.0 million to POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (“POINT”) as a part of an asset acquisition with the potential for additional milestone payments of approximately $1.8 billion for the two licensed assets based on U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval and net sales and commercial milestones.
Under the terms of the license agreement between Lantheus Two and POINT for PNT2002, Lantheus Two paid POINT an upfront cash payment of $250.0 million, and could pay up to an additional $281.0 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT2002. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $1.3 billion in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT2002.
Under the terms of the license agreement between Lantheus Three and POINT for PNT2003, Lantheus Three paid POINT an upfront cash payment of $10.0 million, and could pay up to an additional $34.5 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT2003. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $275.0 million in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT2003.
Additionally, the Company will pay POINT royalties on net sales, beyond certain financial thresholds and subject to conditions, of 20% for PNT2002 and 15% for PNT2003. Costs of IPR&D projects acquired as part of an asset acquisition that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred, and therefore, a charge of $260.0 million was recognized in research and development expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022.
20. Segment Information
The Company operates as one business segment: the development, manufacture and sale of innovative imaging diagnostics, radiotherapeutics, and artificial intelligence solutions designed to enable clinicians to Find, Fight and Follow disease to deliver better patient outcomes. This conclusion reflects the Company’s focus on the performance of the business on a consolidated worldwide basis. The results of this operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s chief operating decision maker does not manage any part of the Company separately, and the allocation of resources and assessment of performance are based on the Company’s consolidated operating results.
21. Subsequent Events
On August 2, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the right to all of its RELISTOR net sales royalties under its license agreement with Bausch, relating to royalties payable in respect of the second quarter of 2023 and subsequent quarters. The Company received an initial payment of approximately $98.0 million in connection with the sale and has the right to receive an additional payment from the buyer of $5.0 million if worldwide net sales of RELISTOR in 2025 exceed a specified threshold. Proceeds from this transaction will be used in the Company’s core businesses and product pipeline.

Recent Developments
Exclusive License for PNT2002 and PNT2003
On December 20, 2022, we announced the closing of a set of strategic collaborations with POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (“POINT”), in which we were granted a license to exclusive worldwide rights (excluding Japan, South Korea, China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), Singapore and Indonesia) to co-develop and commercialize POINT’s PNT2002 and PNT2003 product candidates.
With respect to PNT2002, POINT is generally responsible for funding and development activities required for FDA approval, including generating all clinical and nonclinical data, analysis and other information, and we are responsible for preparing for and seeking regulatory approval, as well as performing and funding all future development and commercialization following such approval.

With respect to PNT2003, POINT is responsible for curating all data, analysis and other information necessary for regulatory approval, and supporting us in the preparation of regulatory filings, and we are responsible for preparing for and seeking regulatory approval of all such applications, as well as performing and funding all future development and commercialization following such approval. POINT will be responsible for all manufacturing of PNT2003, subject to certain exceptions described in the PNT2003 License Agreement.
For more information, see Note 19, “Acquisition of Assets” in our consolidated financial statements included herein.
Acquisition of Cerveau Technologies, Inc.
On February 6, 2023, we announced that we acquired Cerveau. Cerveau’s asset is MK-6240, a second-generation F 18-labeled PET imaging agent that targets Tau tangles in Alzheimer’s disease. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid the Selling Stockholders an upfront payment of $35.0 million in February 2023 and paid an additional $10.0 million in May 2023 upon the successful completion of a technology transfer. The Selling Stockholders are also eligible to receive additional development and commercial milestone payments. Additionally, we will pay double-digit royalty payments for research revenue and commercial sales. Research revenue is derived from existing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies that use MK-6240 in clinical trials and includes milestone and dose-related payments. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement for Cerveau, certain members of the Selling Stockholders will also provide transition and clinical development services for a prescribed time following the closing of the transaction.
For more information, see Note 19, “Acquisition of Assets” in our consolidated financial statements included herein.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results
Our business and financial performance have been, and continue to be, impacted by the following:
Continued Growth of PYLARIFY
PYLARIFY, an F 18-labeled PET imaging agent targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (“PSMA”), was approved by the FDA in May 2021 and commercially launched in the U.S. in June 2021.
In March 2022, we announced a strategic collaboration with Novartis to include PYLARIFY in prostate cancer trials with PLUVICTO, Novartis’ PSMA-targeted therapeutic. In addition, in 2022, we entered into an agreement with Curium to add PYLARIFY to its PSMA-targeted therapeutic clinical trial referred to by Curium as ECLIPSE. Both of these collaborations, as well as other collaborations using PYLARIFY are described further under Part I, Item 1. “Business - Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue – Oncology.” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Also, during 2022, the National Comprehensive Cancer Center updated its guidelines and the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging updated its appropriate use criteria, both noting that PSMA PET imaging agents, including PYLARIFY, can be used for patient selection for PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy.
During 2021, 2022 and the first half of 2023, we hired additional employees to assist us with the commercialization of PYLARIFY, including in Sales, Marketing, Reimbursement, Quality and Medical Affairs.
In addition to our network of PET manufacturing facilities (“PMFs”), we partnered with academic medical centers in the U.S. that have radioisotope-producing cyclotrons who have expressed an interest in manufacturing PYLARIFY.
Our commercial launch required obtaining necessary market access which included, but was not limited to, adequate coding, coverage and payment for PYLARIFY, including coverage from Medicare, Medicaid and other government payors, as well as private payors. We received notification that our Healthcare Procedure Coding System (“HCPCS”) code, which enables streamlined billing, went into effect as of January 1, 2022. In addition, effective January 1, 2022, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) granted Transitional Pass-Through Payment Status (“TPT Status”) in the hospital outpatient setting for PYLARIFY, enabling traditional Medicare to provide an incremental payment for PET/CT scans performed with PYLARIFY in that setting. TPT Status for PYLARIFY could expire on December 31, 2024.
The successful growth of PYLARIFY is dependent on our ability to sustain PYLARIFY as the leading PSMA PET imaging agent in an increasingly competitive marketplace. PYLARIFY’s competition includes two commercially available gallium-68-based PSMA imaging agents, a recently approved fluorine-18-based PSMA imaging agent, and other non-PSMA-based imaging agents, commonly referred to as conventional imaging.
In connection with the acquisition of Progenics in June 2020, we issued CVRs tied to the financial performance of PYLARIFY. Each CVR entitled its holder to receive a pro rata share of aggregate cash payments equal to 40% of U.S. net sales generated by PYLARIFY in 2022 and 2023 in excess of $100.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, but not to exceed, in the aggregate, 19.9% of the total consideration we paid in the acquisition of Progenics. Based on our 2022 PYLARIFY net sales, we determined that the aggregate payment obligation under the CVRs was $99.6 million, which was the maximum amount payable under the CVRs. We paid $99.6 million to the CVR holders during May 2023 in full satisfaction of our obligations under the CVRs.
PYLARIFY AI Use
During 2021, we announced that EXINI was granted 510(k) clearance by the FDA in the U.S. and received European Conformity Marking (“CE marking”) in Europe for aPROMISE. We commercially launched aPROMISE under the name PYLARIFY AI in the U.S. in November 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, we received a new 510(k) clearance for an updated version of our PYLARIFY AI platform.
PYLARIFY AI is artificial intelligence medical device software developed to assist with the reading and quantification of PYLARIFY scans. The technology automatically analyzes a PSMA PET/CT image to segment anatomical regions – 51 bones and 12 soft tissue organs. This image segmentation enables automated localization, detection and quantification of potential PSMA-avid lesions in a PSMA PET/CT image, which data is then incorporated into the reporting system used by physicians.
Continued Growth of DEFINITY
We believe we will be able to increase use of DEFINITY through continued education of physicians and healthcare providers about the benefits of ultrasound enhancing agents in suboptimal echocardiograms. The U.S. market currently has three echocardiography ultrasound enhancing agents approved by the FDA; we estimate that DEFINITY will continue to hold at least an 80% market share.
As we continue to expand our microbubble franchise, our activities include:
•Patents - We continue to actively pursue additional patents in connection with DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT, both in the U.S. and internationally. In the U.S. for DEFINITY, we have six Orange Book-listed method of use patents, one of which expires in 2035 and five of which expire in 2037, as well as additional manufacturing patents that are not Orange Book-listed expiring in 2037.
•DEFINITY RT - The formulation of DEFINITY that we have branded as DEFINITY RT became commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2021. DEFINITY RT allows both storage and shipment at room temperature and provides clinicians an additional choice and allows for greater utility of this formulation in broader clinical settings. Given its physical characteristics, we believe DEFINITY RT is also well-suited for inclusion in kits requiring microbubbles for other indications and applications (including in kits developed by third parties of the type described in the paragraph entitled Microbubble Franchise below).
•VIALMIX RFID – DEFINITY is activated through the use of medical devices branded as VIALMIX and VIALMIX RFID. The activation rate and time are controlled by VIALMIX RFID through the use of radio-frequency identification technology (“RFID”) to ensure reproducible activation of DEFINITY. The RFID tag, which is affixed to the vial label, enables the DEFINITY vial to be appropriately activated with the VIALMIX RFID activation device.
Expansion of Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue
We continue to seek ways to further increase the overall value of our portfolio of products and product candidates. We are evaluating a number of different opportunities to collaborate, in-license or acquire additional products, product candidates, businesses and technologies to drive our future growth. In particular, we are focused on late-stage radiopharmaceutical diagnostic and therapeutic product opportunities in oncology and other strategic areas that will complement our existing portfolio.
Our Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue category includes our Strategic Partnerships, Pharma Services and Digital Solutions businesses and is focused on enabling precision medicine with biomarkers and digital solutions.
•Strategic Partnerships – We seek to monetize our assets through our Strategic Partnerships business, by optimizing core assets geographically and by driving value through non-core assets. For example, with respect to PYLARIFY, we have licensed the development and commercialization rights of that imaging agent in Europe to Curium. Similarly, we licensed the commercialization rights for RELISTOR to Bausch and the commercialization rights for flurpiridaz fluorine-18 to GE Healthcare Limited.
•Pharma Services – We use our Pharma Services business to offer our Biomarkers and Microbubble Platforms to pharmaceutical and start-up companies to support their research and development of therapeutic drugs and devices. The strategic goal of our Pharma Services business is to gain early access to innovation, de-risk the development, data generation and co-funding of our pipeline through collaborations, embed our technologies in the clinical ecosystem and establish the clinical utility of product candidates and research tools in our pipeline. Our Biomarkers are intended to support patient selection and the monitoring of disease progression, primarily with respect to different oncological diseases. For example, piflufolastat F 18 is currently being used by Curium, Novartis, POINT and Regeneron in those companies’ prostate cancer therapeutic drug development programs. Our acquisition of Cerveau in February 2023 added MK-6240 to our biomarker portfolio. MK-6240 is currently being used in more than sixty academic and industry clinical trials for several Alzheimer’s disease therapeutic candidates being developed by more than sixteen pharmaceutical companies. Most recently, in collaboration with Ratio Therapeutics, we initiated a Phase I study for LNTH-1363S to evaluate the pharmokinetics, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry in adult health volunteers. LNTH-1363S is our novel fibroblast activation protein, alpha targeted, copper-64 labeled PET imaging agent candidate.
In addition, we continue to expand our Microbubble Platform. In December 2022, we announced a strategic collaboration with SonoThera, Inc. (“SonoThera”), which will use our microbubbles in combination with SonoThera’s ultrasound-guided, non-viral, gene therapy platform and treatments. We also have additional collaborations with other partners that are generally designed to include our microbubble as part of a kit used with our partner’s medical device for therapeutic applications. In these collaborations, our microbubble is intended to be used as a vehicle to deliver a therapeutic drug.
•Digital Solutions – Our Digital Solutions are designed to enhance imaging value and the throughput, reproducibility and reliability of image analysis, as well as to inform treatment selection and response to therapy. Our digital solutions include aPROMISE and aBSI (as defined below). aPROMISE, which is currently sold as PYLARIFY AI in the U.S., is artificial intelligence medical device software that is designed to allow healthcare professionals and researchers to perform standardized quantitative assessment of PSMA PET/CT images in prostate cancer, including those images obtained by using
PYLARIFY. Automated Bone Scan Index (“aBSI”) automatically calculates the disease burden of prostate cancer by detecting and classifying bone scan tracer uptakes as metastatic or benign lesions using an artificial neural network. aBSI is FDA cleared and CE marked. The software is currently used as one of the correlative objectives of the DORA trial, an open-labeled, randomized, Phase III study of docetaxel versus docetaxel in combination with radium-223 (Ra-223) in subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. We offer our Digital Solutions to HCPs for clinical use and to pharmaceutical companies for development purposes, and in some cases, we also obtain clinical imaging data that we may use to further develop artificial intelligence solutions.
Global Mo-99 Supply
We currently have Mo-99 supply agreements with Institute for Radioelements (“IRE”), running through December 31, 2023, with auto-renewal provisions that are terminable upon notice of non-renewal, and with NTP Radioisotopes (“NTP”), acting for itself and on behalf of its subcontractor, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (“ANSTO”), running through December 31, 2024.
Although we have the most globally diverse Mo-99 supply chain with IRE in Belgium, NTP in South Africa, and ANSTO in Australia, we still face supplier and logistical challenges in our Mo-99 supply chain. When one supplier experiences outages, we generally rely on Mo-99 supply from the other suppliers to limit the impact of the outages. We believe we effectively manage these various supply chain challenges, but depending on reactor and processor schedules and operations, at times we have not been able to fill some or all of the demand for our TechneLite generators on certain manufacturing days. A prolonged disruption of service from one of our three Mo-99 processing sites or one of their main Mo-99-producing reactors could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
To augment our current supply of Mo-99, we have a strategic arrangement with SHINE Medical Technologies LLC (“SHINE”) for the future supply of Mo-99. Under the terms of the supply agreement, entered into in November 2014, SHINE will provide Mo-99 produced using its proprietary LEU-solution technology for use in our TechneLite generators once SHINE’s facility becomes operational and receives all necessary regulatory approvals, which SHINE now estimates will occur in 2024. The term of this arrangement provides for three years of supply of Mo-99. However, we cannot provide assurance that SHINE will be able to produce commercial quantities of Mo-99 for our business, or that SHINE, together with our current suppliers, will be able to deliver a sufficient quantity of Mo-99 to meet our needs.
Inventory Supply
We obtain a substantial portion of our Precision Diagnostics from a third party supplier. Jubilant HollisterStier (“JHS”) is currently a significant supplier of DEFINITY and our sole source manufacturer of select other products. On February 23, 2022, LMI entered into a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (the “MSA”) with JHS, effective as of February 23, 2022, pursuant to which JHS will manufacture, and LMI will purchase, DEFINITY and select other products. The new MSA supersedes all of the prior agreements of the parties. The initial term of the MSA runs through December 31, 2027 and can be further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. The MSA requires LMI to purchase from JHS specified percentages of its total requirements for DEFINITY, as well as specified quantities of select other products, each year during the contract term, except to the extent that LMI has the right to withhold payment for defective product and cancel orders for untimely delivery without penalty. Either party can terminate the MSA upon the occurrence of certain events, including the material breach or bankruptcy of the other party. In addition to JHS, we rely on Samsung BioLogics as our sole source manufacturer of DEFINITY RT.
In 2021, we completed the construction of a specialized in-house manufacturing facility at our North Billerica campus to produce DEFINITY. On February 22, 2022, we received FDA approval of our supplemental new drug application authorizing commercial manufacturing of DEFINITY at our new facility. We believe this facility will allow us to better manage DEFINITY manufacturing and inventory, reduce our costs in a potentially more price competitive environment, and provide us with supply chain redundancy.
Radiopharmaceuticals are decaying radioisotopes with half-lives ranging from a few hours to several days. Radiopharmaceutical finished goods, such as doses of PYLARIFY, AZEDRA and TechneLite generators cannot be kept in inventory because of their limited shelf lives and are subject to just-in-time manufacturing, processing and distribution, which takes place at our facilities in North Billerica, Massachusetts and Somerset, New Jersey, as well as at our PMF partner manufacturing facilities across the U.S.
Research and Development Expenses
To ensure we remain the leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company in our industry, we have historically made and will continue to make substantial investments in new product development and lifecycle management for existing products, including:
•For PYLARIFY, our development of PYLARIFY resulted in approval by the FDA in May 2021.
•For PYLARIFY AI, our development of PYLARIFY AI resulted in a 510(k) clearance granted by the FDA in the third quarter of 2021 and an additional 510(k) clearance granted during the second quarter of 2022.
•For PNT2002 and PNT2003, we were granted a license to exclusive worldwide rights (excluding certain countries) for $260.0 million in upfront payments during the fourth quarter of 2022 and will potentially make additional payments as described below.
•For 1095, our PSMA-targeted iodine-131-labeled small molecule product candidate, we enrolled the last patient in our ARROW Phase 2 study during the second quarter of 2022. Patients in this study will be followed for one year after their first treatment for all efficacy endpoints and survival and safety data will be collected for an additional year.
•We are also developing additional lifecycle management opportunities for PYLARIFY, including preparing a clinical study in favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients, and exploring other possibilities beyond prostate cancer.
PNT2002
Under the terms of the PNT2002 License Agreement, Lantheus Two, LLC paid POINT an upfront cash payment of $250.0 million, and could pay up to an additional $281.0 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT2002. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $1.3 billion in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT2002. In addition, after Lantheus Two achieves $500.0 million in cumulative gross profit, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of twenty percent of net sales of PNT2002. Prior to achieving that financial recoupment threshold, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of twenty percent on that portion of annual net sales of PNT2002 that generate annual gross profit in excess of specified levels.
PNT2003
Under the terms of the PNT2003 License Agreement, Lantheus Three, LLC paid POINT an upfront cash payment of $10.0 million, and could pay up to an additional $34.5 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of specified U.S. and ex-U.S. regulatory milestones related to PNT2003. POINT is also eligible to receive up to $275.0 million in sales milestone payments upon the achievement of specified annual sales thresholds of PNT2003. In addition, POINT is eligible to receive royalty payments of fifteen percent of net sales of PNT2003.
Our investments in these additional clinical activities and lifecycle management opportunities will increase our operating expenses and impact our results of operations and cash flow, and we can give no assurances as to whether any of our clinical development candidates or lifecycle management opportunities will be successful.

Comparison of the Periods Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
Revenues
We classify our revenues into three product categories: Radiopharmaceutical Oncology, Precision Diagnostics, and Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue. Radiopharmaceutical Oncology includes PYLARIFY and AZEDRA. Precision Diagnostics includes DEFINITY, TechneLite and other diagnostic imaging products. Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue includes out-licensing arrangements, partnerships that focus on facilitating precision medicine through the use of biomarkers, digital solutions and radiotherapeutic platforms, and on our other products, such as RELISTOR.
Revenues are summarized by product category on a net basis as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
(in thousands) | | 2023 | | 2022 | | Change $ | | Change % | | 2023 | | 2022 | | Change $ | | Change % |
PYLARIFY | | $ | 210,522 | | | $ | 130,232 | | | $ | 80,290 | | | 61.7 | % | | $ | 405,992 | | | $ | 223,009 | | | $ | 182,983 | | | 82.1 | % |
Other radiopharmaceutical oncology | | 818 | | | 928 | | | (110) | | | (11.9) | % | | 1,535 | | | 2,255 | | | (720) | | | (31.9) | % |
Total radiopharmaceutical oncology | | 211,340 | | | 131,160 | | | 80,180 | | | 61.1 | % | | 407,527 | | | 225,264 | | | 182,263 | | | 80.9 | % |
DEFINITY | | 70,529 | | | 62,306 | | | 8,223 | | | 13.2 | % | | 139,353 | | | 120,634 | | | 18,719 | | | 15.5 | % |
TechneLite | | 21,594 | | | 19,440 | | | 2,154 | | | 11.1 | % | | 42,580 | | | 42,045 | | | 535 | | | 1.3 | % |
Other precision diagnostics | | 5,454 | | | 5,363 | | | 91 | | | 1.7 | % | | 11,261 | | | 10,628 | | | 633 | | | 6.0 | % |
Total precision diagnostics | | 97,577 | | | 87,109 | | | 10,468 | | | 12.0 | % | | 193,194 | | | 173,307 | | | 19,887 | | | 11.5 | % |
Strategic partnerships and other revenue | | 12,783 | | | 5,454 | | | 7,329 | | | 134.4 | % | | 21,763 | | | 34,032 | | | (12,269) | | | (36.1) | % |
Total revenues | | $ | 321,700 | | | $ | 223,723 | | | $ | 97,977 | | | 43.8 | % | | $ | 622,484 | | | $ | 432,603 | | | $ | 189,881 | | | 43.9 | % |
The increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily driven by an increase in PYLARIFY, DEFINITY and TechneLite sales volume, as well as revenue generated by Cerveau, as recorded in Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue.
The increase in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily driven by an increase in PYLARIFY and DEFINITY sales volume, as well as revenue generated by Cerveau, as recorded in Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue. The increase is offset, in part, by a decrease in Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue due to the revenue recognized from the Novartis licensing agreement in the prior year.
Rebates and Allowances
Estimates for rebates and allowances represent our estimated obligations under contractual arrangements with customers and other third parties. Rebate accruals and allowances are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction to revenue and the establishment of a liability which is included in accrued expenses. These rebates and allowances result from performance-based offers that are primarily based on attaining contractually specified sales volumes and growth, Medicaid rebate programs for our products, administrative fees of group purchasing organizations and certain distributor related commissions. The calculation of the accrual for these rebates and allowances is based on an estimate of the third-party’s expected purchases and the resulting applicable contractual rebate to be earned over a contractual period.
An analysis of the amount of, and change in, reserves is summarized as follows:
| | | | | |
(in thousands) | Rebates and Allowances |
Balance, January 1, 2023 | $ | 13,399 | |
Provision related to current period revenues | 13,606 | |
| |
Payments or credits made during the period | (15,918) | |
Balance, June 30, 2023 | $ | 11,087 | |
Gross Profit
The increase in gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to increased PYLARIFY and DEFINITY sales volumes, partially offset by the impairment related to a certain asset group.
The increase in gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, is primarily due to the increased PYLARIFY and DEFINITY sales volumes, partially offset by the impairment of the AZEDRA currently marketed intangible asset, the Novartis licensing settlement in the prior year, amortization of Cerveau intangible assets and the impairment related to a certain asset group.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs for personnel in field sales, marketing and customer service functions. Other costs in sales and marketing expenses include the development and printing of advertising and promotional material, professional services, market research and sales meetings.
Sales and marketing expenses increased $9.0 million and $21.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by the continued promotion activities of PYLARIFY and increased employee-related costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and other related costs for personnel in executive, finance, legal, information technology and human resource functions. Other costs included in general and administrative expenses are professional fees for information technology services, external legal fees, consulting and accounting services as well as bad debt expense, certain facility and insurance costs, including director and officer liability insurance.
General and administrative expenses decreased $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior period. This was primarily driven by a $16.0 million net reduction for the fair value adjustments to the contingent asset and liabilities in the second quarter of 2023 (refer to Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for further details on contingent consideration liabilities, including CVRs). This decrease is partially offset by increased employee-related costs, professional fees and investment in technology.
General and administrative expenses decreased $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior period. This was primarily driven by a $35.8 million net reduction for the fair value adjustments to the contingent asset and liabilities in the first half of 2023 (refer to Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for further details on contingent consideration liabilities, including CVRs). This decrease is partially offset by increased employee-related costs, professional fees and investment in technology.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses relate primarily to the development of new products to add to our portfolio and costs related to our medical affairs, medical information and regulatory functions.
Research and development expenses increased $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by increased employee-related costs.
Research and development expenses increased $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by the AZEDRA IPR&D asset impairment loss of $15.6 million and higher employee-related costs driven by an increased headcount. These increases were offset, in part, by lower clinical expenses related to our ARROW Phase 2 study.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by approximately $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period due to the issuance of the Notes on December 8, 2022, which was partially offset by the interest rate swap agreements from the prior year.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for each reporting period is presented as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2023 | | 2022 |
Effective tax rate | | 18.9% | | 28.3% |
Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the income tax benefit associated with stock compensation deductions, partially offset by state income taxes.
The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to the decrease in non-deductible contingency reserve expense and the increase in our stock compensation deductions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
The following table provides information regarding our cash flows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended June 30, |
(in thousands) | 2023 | | 2022 |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 76,234 | | | $ | 82,861 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (65,210) | | | $ | (5,733) | |
Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (12,720) | | | $ | (4,190) | |
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $76.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily comprised of net income adjusted for the net effect of non-cash items such as impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense and stock-based compensation expense. The primary working capital sources of cash were the timing of payments to large vendors. The primary working capital uses of cash were a decrease to accruals related to the CVR payment, an increase in trade receivables associated primarily with the increase in PYLARIFY revenues, and an increase in inventory related to the timing of batch processes.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $82.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily comprised of net income adjusted for the net effect of non-cash items such as the change in fair value of contingent assets and liabilities of $26.9 million (refer to Note 4, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for further details on contingent consideration liabilities, including CVRs). The primary working capital sources of cash were the timing of payments to large vendors. The primary working capital uses of cash were an increase in trade receivables associated primarily with the increase in PYLARIFY revenues as well as the timing of inventory purchases.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to $45.3 million for our asset acquisition of Cerveau and $19.9 million of capital expenditures.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to $7.5 million of capital expenditures offset by cash proceeds of $1.8 million received from the sale of our Puerto Rico subsidiary.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to the payments for minimum statutory tax withholding related to net share settlement of equity awards of $12.6 million and the CVR initial valuation as of June 30, 2020 of $3.7 million offset by proceeds of $3.2 million from stock option exercises.
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to the payments on long-term debt and other borrowings of $5.2 million related to the 2019 Term Facility and payments for minimum statutory tax withholding related to net share settlement of equity awards of $6.3 million offset by proceeds of $6.8 million from stock option exercises.
External Sources of Liquidity
In December 2022, we voluntarily repaid our 2019 $200.0 million five-year term loan facility. In addition, we replaced our $200.0 million revolving facility with the 2022 Revolving Facility. The terms of the 2022 Revolving Facility are set forth in the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2022, by and among us, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “2022 Credit Agreement”). We have the right to request an increase to the 2022 Revolver Facility or request the establishment of one or more new incremental term loan facilities, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $335 million or consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended, plus additional amounts, in certain circumstances.
Under the terms of the 2022 Revolving Facility, the lenders thereunder agreed to extend credit to us from time to time until December 2, 2027 consisting of revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $350.0 million at any time. The 2022 Revolving Facility includes a $20.0 million sub-facility for the issuance of Letters of Credit. The 2022 Revolving Facility includes a
$10.0 million sub-facility for Swingline Loans. The Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and the borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Facility are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Please refer to Note 13, “Long-Term Debt, Net, and Other Borrowings” for further details on the 2022 Facility.
As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under the 2022 Credit Agreement.
On December 8, 2022, we issued $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, which includes $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Notes. The Notes were issued under the Indenture. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $557.8 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and offering expenses payable by us.
Our ability to fund our future capital needs will be affected by our ability to continue to generate cash from operations and may be affected by our ability to access the capital markets, money markets or other sources of funding, as well as the capacity and terms of our financing arrangements.
We may from time to time repurchase or otherwise retire our debt and take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our balance sheet. These actions may include prepayments of our term loans or other retirements or refinancing of outstanding debt, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amount of debt that may be retired, if any, could be material and would be decided at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on market conditions, our cash position and other considerations.
Funding Requirements
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
•The level of product sales and the pricing environment of our currently marketed products, particularly PYLARIFY and DEFINITY, as well as any additional products that we may market in the future;
•Revenue mix shifts and associated volume and selling price changes that could result from additional competition or changes in customers’ product demand;
•The continued costs of the ongoing commercialization of PYLARIFY and PYLARIFY AI;
•Our investment in the further clinical development and commercialization of products and development candidates, including PNT2002, PNT2003, 1095 and MK-6240;
•The costs of acquiring or in-licensing, developing, obtaining regulatory approval for, and commercializing, new products, businesses or technologies, including any potential related milestone or royalty payments, together with the costs of pursuing opportunities that are not eventually consummated;
•The costs of investing in our facilities, equipment and technology infrastructure;
•The costs and timing of establishing or amending manufacturing and supply arrangements for commercial supplies of our products and raw materials and components;
•Our ability to have products manufactured and released from manufacturing sites in a timely manner in the future, or to manufacture products at our in-house manufacturing facilities in amounts sufficient to meet our supply needs;
•The costs of further commercialization of our existing products, particularly in international markets, including product marketing, sales and distribution and whether we obtain local partners to help share such commercialization costs;
•The legal costs relating to maintaining, expanding and enforcing our intellectual property portfolio, pursuing insurance or other claims and defending against product liability, regulatory compliance, intellectual property or other claims;
•The cost of interest on any additional borrowings which we may incur under our financing arrangements; and
•The impact of sustained inflation on our costs of goods sold and operating expenses.
Disruption in our financial performance could occur if we experience significant adverse changes in product or customer mix, broad economic downturns, sustained inflation, adverse industry or company conditions or catastrophic external events, including pandemics such as COVID-19, natural disasters and political or military conflict. If we experience one or more of these events in the future, we may be required to further implement expense reductions, such as a delay or elimination of discretionary spending in all functional areas, as well as scaling back select operating and strategic initiatives.
If our capital resources become insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we would need to finance our cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, assets securitizations, sale-leasebacks or other financing or strategic alternatives, to the extent such transactions are permissible under the covenants of our 2022 Credit Agreement. Additional equity or debt financing, or other transactions, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If any of these transactions require an amendment or waiver under the covenants in our 2022 Credit Agreement, which could result in additional expenses associated with obtaining the amendment or waiver, we will seek to obtain such a waiver to remain in compliance with those covenants. However, we cannot provide assurance that such an amendment or waiver would be granted, or that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
At June 30, 2023, our only current committed external source of funds is our borrowing availability under our 2022 Revolving Facility. We had $414.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023. Our 2022 Revolving Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative, reporting and financial covenants, in each case subject to certain exceptions and materiality thresholds. Incremental borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Facility may affect our ability to comply with the covenants including the financial covenants restricting consolidated net leverage and interest coverage. Accordingly, we may be limited in utilizing the full amount of our 2022 Revolving Facility as a source of liquidity.
Based on our current operating plans, we believe our balance of cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $414.1 million as of June 30, 2023, along with cash generated by ongoing operations and continued access to our 2022 Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over the next twelve months and beyond.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and other financial information. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. In addition, our reported financial condition and results of operations could vary due to a change in the application of a particular accounting standard.
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in such policies in the six months ended June 30, 2023. For further information, refer to our summary of significant accounting policies and estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are required to provide the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection financial assurance demonstrating our ability to fund the decommissioning of our North Billerica, Massachusetts and Somerset, New Jersey production facilities, respectively, upon closure. We have provided this financial assurance in the form of a $30.3 million surety bond.
Since inception, we have not engaged in any other off-balance sheet arrangements, including structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are continually monitoring and assessing the pandemic status and geopolitical environment to determine any potential impact on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Repurchases
The following table presents information with respect to purchases of common stock we made during the three months ended June 30, 2023. In December 2022, in connection with the issuance of the Notes, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million in aggregate amount of our common stock under certain circumstances, of which $75.0 million were repurchased prior to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, adopted by us on June 24, 2015, as amended on April 26, 2016 and as further amended on April 27, 2017, April 24, 2019, April 28, 2021 and April 28, 2022 (the “2015 Plan”), provides for the withholding of shares to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations. It does not specify a maximum number of shares that can be withheld for this purpose. The shares of common stock withheld to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item 2.

Premises and Term
2.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord, subject to and with the benefit of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease and any agreements, easements, and restrictions of record, as the same may be amended from time to time, applicable to the Property. Excluded from the Premises are the roof, exterior faces of exterior walls, the common
stairways, stairwells, elevators and elevator shafts, and pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, and appurtenant fixtures serving exclusively or in common other parts of the Building (and any areas, such as the
space above the ceiling or in the walls, that may contain such pipes, ducts, conduits, wires or appurtenant fixtures), and if Tenant’s space includes less than the entire rentable area of any floor, excluding the central core area of such floor.
Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, rights to use in common, subject to reasonable rules of general applicability to tenants of the Building from time to time made by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice: (a) the common lobbies, hallways, stairways, and elevators of the Building, (b) the Common Areas (defined in Section 5.1.5), and (c) if the Premises include less than the entire rentable area of any floor, the common toilets and other common facilities in the central core area of such floor.

Landlord reserves the right from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of emergency) and without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises: (a) to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to the Premises and other parts of the Building, or either, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, wherever located in the Premises or Building, (b) to alter or relocate any other common facility, (c) to make any repairs and replacements to the Premises which Landlord may deem necessary, and (d) in connection with any excavation made upon adjacent land of Landlord or others, to enter, and to license others to enter, upon the Premises to do such work as the person causing such excavation deems necessary to preserve the wall of the Building from injury or damage and to support the same. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform all repairs, improvements and additions in such a manner as to minimize interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.
2.2 Term. TO HAVE AND TO HOLD for an original term (the “Original Term”) beginning on the Commencement Date, which shall be the earlier of (a) the date on which the work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibits D and D-1 has been Substantially Completed or (b) the opening by Tenant of its business in the Premises, and ending on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. The term “Substantially Completed” as used herein shall mean that the work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibits D and D-1 has been completed with the exception of minor items which can be fully completed without material interference with Tenant and other items which because of the season or weather or the nature of the item are not practicable to do at the time (collectively, “Punchlist Items”), provided that none of said items is necessary to make the Premises tenantable for the Permitted Uses, and a Certificate of Occupancy (which may be a temporary Certificate of Occupancy) is issued by the Town of Bedford. For the purposes of this paragraph, a temporary Certificate of Occupancy shall mean a temporary Certificate of Occupancy issued by the Town of Bedford, provided that such temporary Certificate of Occupancy allows Tenant's use and occupancy of, and access to a substantial portion of the Premises for the Permitted Uses. Promptly after receipt of a temporary Certificate of Occupancy, Landlord shall diligently pursue the receipt of a final Certificate of Occupancy. Within ten (10) days after Tenant commences business operations in the Premises,
Landlord and Tenant, each acting reasonably and in good faith, shall conduct a joint walk- through of the Premises in order to prepare a document identifying the Punchlist Items. When the Commencement Date, the Initial Rent Commencement Date, the First Rent Adjustment Date, the Second Rent Adjustment Date, the Full Rent Adjustment Date, the date of the 1st Lease Year, and the Expiration Date have been determined, such dates shall be evidenced by a document, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, which Landlord shall complete and deliver to Tenant, and which shall be deemed conclusive unless Tenant shall notify Landlord of any disagreement therewith within ten (10) business days of receipt.
The term “Lease Year” as used herein shall mean a period of twelve (12) consecutive full calendar months. The 1st Lease Year shall begin on the Commencement Date if the Commencement Date is the first day of a calendar month; if not, then the 1st Lease Year shall commence upon the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Commencement Date. Each succeeding Lease Year shall commence upon the anniversary date of the 1st Lease Year. The “Phase-in Periods” specified in Section 4.1 of this Lease serve to establish specific periods for phased-in rent payments and shall have no bearing on the determination of the beginning and end of the 1st Lease Year and the 2nd Lease Year, respectively. The term “Partial Lease Year” as used herein shall mean the six (6) month period commencing on the first day immediately following the expiration of the 8th Lease Year. For the avoidance of doubt, the Original Term shall be comprised of 102 full calendar months (plus the portion of any calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs).
2.3 Extension Option.
(a) Tenant shall have the option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Original Term of this Lease for one additional period of five (5) years to begin immediately upon the expiration of the Original Term (the "Extended Term"), provided that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(i) As of the date of the Extension Notice (defined below) and as of the commencement of the Extended Term, Tenant shall not (x) be in monetary default and/or (y) be in non-monetary default beyond notice and cure period and/or (z) have been in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable grace period more than once during the immediately preceding 12-month period in each instance, and is occupying 100% of the Premises;
(ii) Tenant and/or Guarantor shall have had a net income for the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of the Extension Notice and for the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the Extended Term; and
(iii) Simultaneously with the delivery of the Extension Notice and also at the commencement of the Extended Term, Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord (x) consolidated audited statements (collectively, an “Audited Statement”) for Tenant
and/or Guarantor for the preceding year, prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, and (y) unaudited consolidated statements for Tenant and/or Guarantor for the most recently completed quarter prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, all of which are evidencing such net income during each of the periods specified in clause (ii) hereinabove; it being agreed that if and when an additional Audited Statement is completed between the delivery of the Extension Notice and the commencement of the Extension Term (an “Updated Audited Statement”), Tenant will deliver such Updated Audited Statement to Landlord (and such Updated Audited Statement must satisfy the requirements set forth herein in all respects).
If the above conditions have not been satisfied, then the Extension Option shall be void and the Extension Notice previously sent by Tenant shall be nullified and of no effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord hereby reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any condition set forth in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of this Section 2.3. No such waiver shall be effective unless communicated by Landlord to Tenant in writing and shall be used for the sole purpose of giving effect to the Extension Option and no other purpose.
(b) All of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease shall apply to the Extended Term except that the Annual Fixed Rent Rate for Extended Term shall be the fair-market rental rate for comparable space in comparable Class A office buildings in the Burlington/Bedford area as of the commencement of the Extended Term (“Market Rate”), as designated by Landlord. If Tenant shall elect to exercise this Extension Option, it shall do so by giving Landlord written notice (the “Extension Notice”) of its election not later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Original Term of this Lease, time being of the essence thereof. If timely and properly Tenant gives such notice and satisfies the conditions specified above, the extension of this Lease shall be automatically effected without the necessity of the execution of any additional lease or amendment documents. Tenant’s Extension Option is personal to the initial named Tenant, Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. (and any assignee or subtenant pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 6.2.1 below), and may not otherwise be assigned under any circumstances. The Original Term and the Extended Term shall be collectively referred to as the "Term" or the “term”.
(c) Not later than thirty (30) days following the giving of Tenant’s Extension Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate for the Extended Term. Within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord gives Tenant Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate, Tenant shall notify Landlord whether Tenant accepts or disputes such rate. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, then Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to agree upon the Market Rate. In any event, the Annual Fixed Rent Rate for the Extended Term shall not be less than the Annual Fixed Rent Rate in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, inclusive of any escalations. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Market Rate within thirty (30) days after the date on which Landlord first gave Tenant
Landlord’s proposal for the Market Rate, then the Market Rate shall be determined as provided below.
(d) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Market Rate by the end of said thirty (30)-day period, then within five (5) business days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Market Rate. If the higher of such estimates is not more than [***] of the other estimate, then the Market Rate shall be the average of the two estimates. If the matter is not resolved by the exchange of estimates, then Market Rate shall be determined by an independent arbitrator as set forth below.
E. Within seven (7) days after the exchange of estimates, the parties shall select, as an arbitrator, a mutually acceptable commercial real estate broker or appraiser licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts specializing in the field of commercial office leasing in the Burlington/Bedford market area, having no less than ten (10) years' experience (an “Approved Arbitrator”). If the parties cannot agree on such person, then within a second period of seven (7) days, each shall select one Approved Arbitrator and the two appointed Arbitrators shall, within five (5) days, select a third Approved Arbitrator who shall be the final decision-maker (the “Final Arbitrator”). If one party shall fail to timely make such appointment, then the person chosen by the other party shall be the sole arbitrator. Once the Final Arbitrator has been selected as provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as practicable, but in any case within fourteen (14) days after his or her appointment, the arbitrator shall determine the Market Rate by selecting either the Landlord’s estimate of Market Rate or the Tenant’s estimate of Market Rate. Such arbitrator must choose the proposed Market Rate that he/she determines is closest to the actual market rental rate for the Premises. There shall be no discovery or similar proceedings. The arbitrator’s decision as to which estimate shall be the Market Rate for the Extended Term shall be rendered in writing to both Landlord and Tenant and shall be final and binding upon them and shall be the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term. The costs of the Final Arbitrator will be equally divided between Landlord and Tenant. Any fees of any Approved Arbitrator or counsel engaged by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party that retained such Approved Arbitrator or counsel. If the dispute between the parties as to a market rate has not been resolved before the commencement of the Extended Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay Fixed Rent under the Lease based upon the Fixed Rent Rate in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term until either the agreement of the parties as to the market rate, or the decision of the Final Arbitrator, as the case may be, at which time Tenant shall pay any underpayment of Fixed Rent to Landlord.
F. Once the Market Rate has been determined, the parties shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the Fixed Rent for the Premises during the Extended Term.
G. With respect to any assignment or subletting during the Original Term of this Lease, such assignment shall not include the Extension Option granted to Tenant, and such sublease shall be for a term expiring no later than the Expiration Date.
2.4 Landlord’s Termination Right.(a) Landlord shall have the one-time right to terminate this Lease (the “Early Termination Right”), effective as of the last day of the 5th Lease Year (the “Early Termination Date”). If Landlord elects to exercise the Early Termination Right, it shall do so by giving Tenant written notice of termination (the “Early Termination Notice”) no later than eighteen (18) calendar months prior to the Early Termination Date. Upon the Early Termination Date Tenant shall surrender and yield up the Premises in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1.9 of this Lease and this Lease shall terminate without any further accruing liability or obligation to either party, except with respect to the provisions of this Lease intended to survive termination. The return of the Security and Restoration Deposit following the Early Termination Date shall be governed by the terms of Section 4.4 below. Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance in the amount of [***] for the costs of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment, which shall be paid to Tenant on the Early Termination Date. In the event that Landlord does not give the Early Termination Notice to Tenant within the time period set forth above then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its Early Termination Right and the provisions of this Section
2.4 shall have no further force and effect. The period of time beginning when Landlord gives the Early Termination Notice and ending on the Early Termination Date is referred to in this Section 2.4 as the “Flat Fixed Rent Period”.
(b) Fixed Rent for the Flat Fixed Rent Period shall be at the rate in effect for the third (3rd) Lease Year. It is the intention of the parties that during the Flat Fixed Rent Period Tenant shall receive the financial benefit of a full 24-months of Fixed Rent at the rate in effect for the 3rd Lease Year even though there will only be eighteen (18) months of term remaining until the Early Termination Date. Tenant shall receive a $24,722.00 credit applied against the Fixed Rent owing during the Flat Fixed Rent Period to offset the excess Fixed Rent previously paid by Tenant during the 6 months immediately preceding the Flat Fixed Rent Period (the excess being the difference between the Fixed Rent rates in effect during the 3rd and 4th Lease Years.
ARTICLE 3
Improvements
3.1 Performance of Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall, at its expense, cause to be performed the work (“Landlord’s Work”) to provide a turnkey buildout substantially as shown on preliminary fit plan attached hereto as Exhibit D and Landlord’s Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 and in accordance with the Final Plans (as defined below). All Landlord’s Work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner employing Building- standard materials and finishes (as specified in Exhibit D-1), and so as to conform to all applicable building laws. Tenant understands there is significant value in the existing first- class improvements, finishes and infrastructure in the Premises and agrees that Landlord may utilize existing improvements, fixtures and equipment to reduce costs. Tenant agrees that Landlord may make any changes in Landlord’s Work which may become reasonably necessary or advisable, other than substantial changes, without approval of Tenant, provided written notice is promptly given to Tenant; and Landlord may make substantial changes in such work, subject to the written approval of Tenant, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Tenant wishes to make any change to Landlord’s
Work at any time (including changes to finishes), whether prior to or during the performance of Landlord’s Work, and if that change increases the cost and scope of work provided for in Exhibits D, and subsequently the Final Plans, then, provided Landlord has approved such change, Tenant shall execute a Work Change Order in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and shall fund 100% of that specific Work Change Order prior to Landlord’s commencement of the work in such Change Order. Landlord shall use diligence to cause Landlord’s Work to be Substantially Completed by the Anticipated Delivery Date, subject to the provisions of Section 10.5 hereof, and any Tenant Delay (defined in Section 3.3 of this Lease). In no event shall Landlord’s consent to the alterations and improvements shown on Exhibit D or the Final Plans or approval of any other plans, nor Landlord or Landlord’s agents performing work on Tenant’s behalf, be construed as a waiver of Landlord’s right, pursuant to Section 6.1.9 of this Lease, to require removal of any installations, alterations or improvements in connection with Landlord’s Work at end of the Term, subject to all of the provisions of Section 6.1.9 of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense for the installation of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment, Tenant’s specialized installations and equipment, and telephone/data cabling within the Premises. All such installations shall be done in accordance with, and subject to, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to Section 6.2.5 of this Lease. The Premises shall be delivered to Tenant in compliance with all applicable building codes, including those relating to life safety, and with all base building systems in good working order.
3.2 Plan Approval; Final Plans. Based on the preliminary fit plan attached hereto as Exhibit D, Landlord’s architect shall prepare a full set of construction drawings and specifications sufficient to obtain a building permit for Landlord’s Work (collectively, the “Construction Plans”). The Construction Plans shall emanate from and be consistent with Exhibit D. The Construction Plans will be submitted to Tenant for its approval. Tenant agrees to approve or disapprove the Construction Plans within five (5) business days following its receipt thereof, specifying the reasons for any disapproval. Landlord shall then cause its architect to redesign the Construction Plans incorporating those revisions reasonably requested by Tenant. Tenant’s approval of the Construction Plans shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. During the plan approval process, should Tenant require changes to the Construction Plans that increase the cost and scope of Landlord’s Work, as reasonably determined by Landlord, then Tenant shall execute a Work Change Order in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto and the increased cost for any such changes shall be paid by Tenant in accordance the Work Change Order. Tenant shall pay the full amount of the Work Change Order in accordance with Exhibit E attached hereto. If Tenant fails to timely respond to any request for approval, the submission in question shall be deemed approved. The Construction Plans that are finally approved by Tenant shall be called the “Final Plans”.
3.3 Tenant Delay. The phrase, “Tenant Delay”, shall be defined as any delay in the completion of Landlord’s Work actually caused by (i) special work, upgrades or long lead-time items for which Landlord identifies in writing (it being agreed such writing may be in the form of an e-mail), promptly upon submission of a Work Change Order, a specified period of delay, and in either instance Tenant does not withdraw or alter such special work, upgrade, long lead-time item which avoids such delay, (ii) any changes to any plans, including the
Final Plans, made by Tenant, or any Work Change Order requested by Tenant, in any case for which Landlord identifies a specified period of delay at the time of its approval and for which Tenant does not withdraw such change to avoid delay, (iii) any change in the design of the Landlord’s Work or any component thereof made by Tenant that results in a delay in the Landlord’s construction start date beyond the date that is sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of the construction drawings, (iv) the delay of Tenant or its architects and engineers in approving the Construction Plans, or supplying, submitting or approving any other plans, specifications, pricing or estimates or giving authorizations or supplying information reasonably required by Landlord or its general contractor or the Town of Bedford by the dates stipulated in this Article 3, or in any other instance if no time period is specified, then within five (5) business days after request therefor, (v) any failure by any contractors employed by Tenant including, without limitation, contractors furnishing telecommunications, data processing or other service or equipment directly to Tenant (and not via Landlord’s contractors) to comply with the agreed upon timetables for coordination of the parties’ respective components of work, as established at on-site or virtual progress meetings between Landlord’s representative and Tenant’s representative, each acting reasonably and in good faith, (vi) any failure to comply with this Article 3 or any material interference with the performance of Landlord’s Work by Tenant or any of its agents, employees, architects, engineers or contractors, or (vii) Tenant’s delay in paying a Work Change Order when due or in delivering the Security and Restoration Deposit required pursuant to Section 4.4.
3.4 Early Access. Upon full execution of the Lease, Tenant may, prior to the Commencement Date (but following coordination with Landlord as to the timing), enter the Premises without payment of rent, but otherwise subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, to facilitate Tenant’s preparation of the Premises (e.g., taking measurements, installing trade fixtures and furniture, etc.), provided that (i) Tenant shall not interfere with any work then being performed by or for Landlord in the Premises or Building, (ii) Tenant shall immediately cease its activities in the Premises in the event that Landlord notifies Tenant (which notice may be given orally) that Tenant is interfering with Landlord, and (iii) provided Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's actual costs incurred in connection with Tenant’s pre-commencement entry and/or work. All such preparation by Tenant shall be done in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, including but not limited to Section 6.2.5 hereof.
3.5 Delayed Delivery. In the event that Landlord’s Work is not Substantially Completed by the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Anticipated Delivery Date (the “Outside Delivery Date”), and provided such delay is not due to either a Tenant Delay and/or Force Majeure event, then the Fixed Rent first coming due as of the Initial Rent Commencement Date shall be abated by one (1) day for each day of delay during the period beginning on the Outside Delivery Date and ending on the day the Landlord’s Work is Substantially Completed. Further, in the event that Landlord’s Work is not Substantially Completed by the date that is three hundred and sixty (360) days after the Anticipated Delivery Date (the “Final Outside Date”), and provided such delay is not due to either a Tenant Delay and/or Force Majeure event, then Tenant shall have the right, upon written notice to Landlord given no later than ten (10) business days following the Final Outside Date (such notice the “Failure to Deliver Termination Notice”), to terminate this Lease
upon thirty (30) days prior notice; provided, however, that such termination will be rendered ineffective if, prior to the date that is thirty (30) days following the date Tenant gives the Failure to Deliver Termination Notice, Landlord shall have Substantially Completed Landlord’s Work. The foregoing rights to abatement of Fixed Rent and terminate the Lease shall be Tenant’s sole remedy at law or in equity for Landlord’s failure to Substantially Complete the Landlord’s Work by the timelines set forth herein.
ARTICLE 4
Rent
4.1 The Fixed Rent. (a) Tenant covenants and agrees to pay rent(“Fixed Rent”) to Landlord, by electronic fund transfer (or to such other person or entity as Landlord may by notice in writing to Tenant from time to time direct), at the Annual Fixed Rent Rate, in equal installments at the Monthly Fixed Rent Rate (which is 1/12th of the Annual Fixed Rent Rate), in advance, without notice or demand, and without setoff, abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction or deduction, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, on the first day of each calendar month included in the Term, commencing as of the Commencement Date; and for any portion of a calendar month at beginning of the Term, at the rate for the 1st Lease Year, payable in advance for such portion. The term “Additional Rent” shall mean all sums other than Fixed Rent that are payable to Landlord under this Lease, including, without limitation all Operating Costs, Taxes, late charges, and interest. It is intended that Tenant’s initial obligation to pay Fixed Rent shall be phased-in during the first eighteen (18) months of the Original Term. The Fixed Rent stated in Section 1.1 is calculated based on specific phase-in periods with stepped-up square footage amounts during each phase-in period, as stated in Section 1.1.
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, that the Fixed Rent, the Additional Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord shall continue to be payable in all events and that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall continue unaffected, unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been abated or terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease.
(c) If Landlord shall give written notice (which for the purposes hereof may be in the form of an e-mail) to Tenant that all rent and/or other payments due hereunder are to be made to Landlord by wire transfer or any other commercially reasonable means, Tenant shall make all such payments as shall be due after receipt of said notice by means as designated by Landlord, with such payments to be made to such address and to such person or entity as is specified by Landlord.
4.2 Additional Rent. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay its insurance costs and, as Additional Rent, utility charges, personal property taxes and its pro rata share of increases in Operating Costs and Taxes with respect to the Premises as provided in this Section 4.2 as follows:
4.2.1 Real Estate Taxes. If Taxes (as hereinafter defined) for any Tax Year during the Term shall exceed Base Taxes, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as
Additional Rent, for Tenant’s Percentage of such excess (such amount hereinafter referred to as “Tax Excess”). The term “Tax Year” means the fiscal tax period of the Town of Bedford, which presently is a twelve-month period that begins on July 1 of each calendar year. Tenant shall remit to Landlord, on the first day of each calendar month, estimated payments on account of Tax Excess, such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide Landlord, by the time real estate tax payments are due and payable to any governmental authority responsible for collection of same, a sum equal to the Tax Excess, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time on the basis of the most recent tax data available. If the total of such monthly remittances for any Tax Year is greater than the actual Tax Excess for such Tax year, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant, or credit against the next accruing payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.1, the difference; if the total of such remittances is less than the actual Tax Excess for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the date or dates within such Tax Year that any Taxes become due and payable to the governmental authority (but in any event no earlier than ten (10) days following a written notice to Tenant, which notice shall set forth the manner of computation of Tax Excess).
If, after Tenant shall have made reimbursement to Landlord pursuant to this subsection 4.2.1, Landlord shall receive a refund of any portion of Taxes paid by Tenant with respect to any Tax Year during the term hereof as a result of an abatement of such Taxes by legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise (without Landlord having any obligation to undertake any such proceedings), Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant, or credit against the next accruing payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.1, the Tenant’s Percentage of the refund (less the proportional, pro rata expenses, including commercially reasonable attorneys’ fees and appraisers’ fees, incurred in connection with obtaining any such refund), as relates to Tax Excess paid by Tenant to Landlord with respect to any Tax Year for which such refund is obtained.
In the event this Lease shall commence, or shall end (by reason of expiration of the Term or earlier termination pursuant to the provisions hereof), on any date other than the first or last day of the Tax Year, or should the Tax Year or period of assessment of real estate taxes be changed or be more or less than one (1) year, as the case may be, then the amount of Tax Excess which may be payable by Tenant as provided in this subsection 4.2.1 shall be appropriately apportioned and adjusted.
The term “Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments, betterments and other charges and impositions (including, but not limited to, fire protection service fees and similar charges) levied, assessed or imposed at any time during the term by any governmental authority upon or against the Property, or taxes in lieu thereof, and additional types of taxes to supplement real estate taxes due to legal limits imposed thereon. If, at any time during the term of this Lease, any tax or excise on rents or other taxes, however described, are levied or assessed against Landlord with respect to the rent reserved hereunder, either wholly or partially in substitution for, or in
addition to, real estate taxes assessed or levied on the Property, such tax or excise on rents shall be included in Taxes; however, Taxes shall not include late fees and penalties (unless incurred as a result of Tenant’s failure to pay Tenant’s Percentage of Tax Excess pursuant to the terms hereof), unpaid Taxes due from another tenant, franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy, transfer, income or excess profits taxes assessed on Landlord. Taxes shall include any estimated payment made by Landlord on account of a fiscal tax period for which the actual and final amount of taxes for such period has not been determined by the governmental authority as of the date of any such estimated payment.
In the event that the assessment for Taxes for the Property during the Base Taxes year (or any comparison year) specifically includes in writing a reduction for vacancy in the Building or a vacancy reduction is otherwise reasonably noted in writing on the assessor’s tax field card, then the Taxes for the applicable Base Taxes year or any comparison year, as the case may be, during which such discount continues to be applied in whole or in part shall be reasonably grossed up by the amount of the discount or reduction actually applied by the assessing department of the Town of Bedford on account of such vacancy in the Building.
4.2.2 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all taxes charged, assessed or imposed upon the personal property of Tenant in or upon the Premises.
4.2.3 Operating Costs. If, during the Term hereof, Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) incurred by Landlord in any calendar year shall exceed Base Operating Costs, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for Tenant’s Percentage of any such excess (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Operating Costs Excess”). Tenant shall remit to Landlord, on the first day of each calendar month, estimated payments on account of Operating Costs Excess, such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide Landlord, by the end of the calendar year, a sum equal to the Operating Costs Excess, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time. If, at the expiration of the year in respect of which monthly installments of Operating Costs Excess shall have been made as aforesaid, the total of such monthly remittances is greater than the actual Operating Costs Excess for such year, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant, or credit against the next accruing payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.3, the difference; if the total of such remittances is less than the Operating Costs Excess for such year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within twenty (20) days from the date Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an itemized statement of the Operating Costs Excess, prepared, allocated and computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Any reimbursement for Operating Costs due and payable by Tenant with respect to periods of less than twelve (12) months shall be equitably prorated. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with any such reconciliation statement within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the expiration of any calendar year during the Term, such statement prepared, allocated and computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. This section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
The term “Operating Costs” shall mean all costs and expenses incurred for the operation, cleaning, maintenance, repair and upkeep of the Property, including, without limitation, all costs of maintaining and repairing the Property, including snow removal; landscaping and grounds maintenance; operation, repair and maintenance of parking lots (including lighting), sidewalks, walking paths, access roads and driveways); all costs of Property signage, repair and maintenance of the roof of the Building (including drains, flashings, gutters, waterproofing); painting; security; operation, repair and replacement of heating and air-conditioning equipment, elevators, lighting and any other Building equipment or systems; all repairs and replacements (other than repairs or replacements for which Landlord has received full reimbursement from contractors, other tenants of the Building or from others) necessary to keep the Property in good working order, repair, appearance and condition; all costs, including material and equipment costs, for cleaning and janitorial services to the Building (including window cleaning of the Building); all costs of any reasonable insurance carried by Landlord relating to the Property; utilities attributable to the Common Areas; all costs related to provision of heat (including oil, electric, and/or gas), cooling, water (including sewer charges) refuse disposal and other utilities to the Premises, if not separately metered, and to the Building (exclusive of reimbursement to Landlord for any of same received as a result of direct billing to any tenant of the Building or costs for utilities that are separately metered); payments under all service contracts relating to the foregoing; all compensation, fringe benefits, payroll taxes and workmen’s compensation insurance premiums related thereto with respect to any employees of Landlord or its affiliates at the level of property manager or below who are engaged in the operation, security and maintenance of the Property; costs of maintaining, repairing and operating amenities available for the general use of all tenants that are now or hereafter located in the Common Areas, including an on-site café (including a monthly cafeteria subsidy, if any), and a fitness facility; charges under any declarations, covenants, cross-easements, or other like documents of record applicable to the Property; attorneys’ fees and disbursements (exclusive of any such fees and disbursements incurred in tax abatement proceedings or the preparation of leases) and auditing and other professional fees and expenses allocable to the operation, maintenance, repair and upkeep of the Property; and a property management fee which shall not exceed [***]of the gross receipts for the Building.
There shall not be included in such Operating Costs:
(l) expenses for repairs, replacement or other work necessitated by fire or other casualty (including the action of any public authority in consequence thereof) or by any taking by eminent domain, but excluding such expenses to the extent of any insurance deductible;
(2) salaries of partners, officers and executives of Landlord;

(26) expenditures already paid by Tenant with respect to (a) cleaning, maintenance and upkeep of the Premises, and (b) the provision of electricity to the Premises (such that such items shall not be charged to Tenant more than once).
If, during the Term, Landlord shall replace any capital items or make any capital expenditures which (a) are intended to reduce Operating Costs or (b) are required to comply with laws enacted after the Effective Date, or (c) are required to replace worn-out items as may be necessary to maintain the Building in good working order, repair and condition and not to enhance the Building over and above its current appearance and condition (collectively called “capital expenditures”) the total amount of which is not properly included in Operating Costs for the calendar year in which they were made, there shall nevertheless be included in Operating Costs for each calendar year in which and after such capital expenditure is made the annual charge-off of such capital expenditure. (Annual charge-off shall be determined by (i) dividing the original cost of the capital expenditure by the number of years of useful life thereof [The useful life shall be reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in effect at the time of acquisition of the capital item.]; and
(ii) adding to such quotient an interest factor computed on the unamortized balance of such capital expenditure based upon an interest rate reasonably determined by Landlord as being the interest rate then being charged for long-term mortgages by institutional lenders on like properties within the locality in which the Building is located.) Provided, further, that if Landlord reasonably concludes on the basis of engineering estimates that a particular capital expenditure will effect savings in Operating Costs and that such annual projected savings will exceed the annual charge-off of capital expenditure computed as aforesaid, then and in such events, the annual charge-off shall be determined by dividing the amount of such capital expenditure by the number of years over which the projected amount of such
savings shall fully amortize the cost of such capital item or the amount of such capital expenditure; and by adding the interest factor, as aforesaid.
If during any portion of any year for which Operating Costs are being computed (including the calendar year for Base Operating Costs), the Building was not fully occupied by tenants or if not all of such tenants were paying fixed rent or if Landlord was not supplying all tenants with the services being supplied hereunder, actual Operating Costs incurred shall be reasonably extrapolated by Landlord to the estimated Operating Costs that would have been incurred if the Building were fully occupied by tenants and all such tenants were then paying fixed rent or if such services were being supplied to all tenants, and such extrapolated amount shall, for the purposes of this Section 4.2.3, be deemed to be the Operating Costs for such year. If Operating Costs in any year increase due to a new service being introduced in operating the Property, such increase shall be included in Operating Costs only to the extent of the increase in cost over the projected costs that would have been included in the calendar year for Base Operating Costs Year if such service had been in effect during the calendar year for Base Operating Costs. Conversely if the Operating Costs in any year decrease due to an elimination of any service, then the cost of such service shall be deleted from the calendar year for Base Operating Costs for purposes of determining the Operating Costs payable for subsequent years that the service is not included.
Provided that Tenant is not in default beyond notice and cure periods of its obligations under this Lease (it being agreed that if Landlord has given notice of default for which the applicable cure period has yet to lapse, Tenant must cure such default within such cure period for Tenant to be entitled to exercise the right set forth herein), Tenant shall have the right to examine, copy and audit Landlord’s books and records establishing the Operating Costs set forth in this Section 4.2.3, for the calendar year immediately preceding Landlord’s year-end reconciliation statement of Operating Costs for the specific calendar year in question. Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice (the “Audit Notice”) of its intention to examine and audit such books and records, and such examination and audit shall take place at Landlord’s or Landlord’s building manager’s office no later than on hundred twenty (120) days following Tenant’s receipt of any year-end reconciliation statement and shall be completed no later than ninety (90) days following the date Tenant was first given access to Landlord’s books and records. Before conducting any audit, Tenant must pay the full amount of Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Costs Excess billed. No subtenant shall have any right to conduct an audit. As a condition to performing any such inspection, Tenant and its examiners may be required to execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement to keep confidential any information which Tenant and the examining party discover about the Building in connection with such examination, except for disclosures required by law, court order or regulatory authorities, or to Tenant's attorneys, accountants, auditors, or potential purchasers of the Tenant company. Tenant agrees to use for such audit either (i) a certified public accountant or (ii) an accounting firm or (iii) or a lease administration firm that is subject to Landlord’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that any such party listed
in (i), (ii) and/or (iii) is not being paid on a contingency fee basis. All costs of the examination and audit shall be borne by Tenant provided, however, that if such examination and audit establishes that the Operating Costs Excess for the year in question is less than the amount set forth in Landlord’s statements delivered to Tenant by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay to Tenant the reasonable costs of such examination and audit (not to exceed a maximum amount of [***]). If, pursuant to the audit, the payments made for such year by Tenant exceed Tenant’s required payment on account thereof for such year, such overpayment shall be credited against Rent next due, or refunded to Tenant if the Term of this Lease has then expired and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord; but, if the payments made by Tenant for such year are less than Tenant’s required payment as established by the examination and audit, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after conclusion of the examination and audit. If there is any dispute over the results of the audit, Landlord shall have ninety (90) days following receipt of the audit results to obtain an audit from an accountant of Landlord's choice, at Landlord's cost and expense. In the event that Landlord's and Tenant's accountants shall be unable to reconcile the results which thirty (30) days following completion of Landlord’s accountants’ review, then, both accountants shall mutually agree upon a third accountant who shall make a final determination within sixty (60) days after being appointed by the parties and whose determination shall be conclusive. The cost of any such third accountant shall be shared equally between Landlord and Tenant.
4.2.4 Insurance. Tenant shall, at its expense, as Additional Rent, take out and maintain from the time Tenant first occupies the Premises for any purpose and throughout the Term the following insurance protecting Landlord:
4.2.4.1 Commercial general liability insurance and commercial excess liability insurance on “follow form” basis and/or umbrella naming Landlord, Tenant, and Landlord’s managing agent and any mortgagee of which Tenant has been given notice as insureds or additional insureds, on a primary and non-contributory basis, in amounts which shall, at the beginning of the term, be at least equal to the limits set forth in Section 1.1; and, which, from time to time during the Term upon written notice from Landlord, shall be for such higher limits, if any, as are customarily carried in the area in which the Premises are located on property similar to the Premises and used for similar purposes; and workmen’s compensation insurance with statutory limits covering all of Tenant’s employees working on the Premises, covering the state in which the employee was hired, works and resides; and Employers liability insurance with minimum limits of [***] each accident, bodily injury by accident, [***] each employee, bodily injury by disease, and [***] policy limit, bodily injury by disease.
4.2.4.2 Special Risk property insurance with the usual extended coverage endorsements covering all Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment, and any alterations or improvements installed by or on behalf of Tenant with the exception of the initial Landlord’s Work, and business
interruption insurance with limits not less than the equivalent of 12 months of rent, with extra expense coverage, and shall list Landlord as loss payee as their interests may appear.
4.2.4.3 Automobile liability insurance for all owned, leased, non-owned and hired vehicles. The minimum limit of liability shall be [***] each accident, combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage.
4.2.4.4 All such policies shall be obtained from responsible companies having a policy rating of A-; X or better, as set forth in the most current issue of the Best’s Key Rating Guide and which are qualified to do business and in good standing in Massachusetts. Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with certificates evidencing all such insurance prior to the beginning of the Term hereof and evidencing renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy. Tenant shall provide at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord should any of the policies required herein be cancelled. In the event provision for any such insurance is to be by a blanket insurance policy, the policy shall allocate a specific and sufficient amount of coverage to the Premises.
4.2.4.5 All insurance which is carried by either party with respect to the Building, Premises or to furniture, furnishings, fixtures, or equipment therein or alterations or improvements thereto, workmen’s compensation insurance, and all liability insurance, whether or not required, shall include provisions which either designate the other party as one of the insured or deny to the insurer acquisition by subrogation of rights of recovery against the other party to the extent such rights have been waived by the insured party prior to occurrence of loss or injury, insofar as, and to the extent that, such provisions may be effective without making it impossible to obtain insurance coverage from responsible companies qualified to do business in the state in which the Premises are located. Each party shall be entitled to have certificates of any policies containing such provisions. Each party hereby waives all rights of recovery against the other for loss or injury against which the waiving party is protected by insurance containing said provisions, reserving, however, any rights with respect to any excess of loss or injury over the amount recovered by such insurance. Tenant shall not acquire as insured under any insurance carried on the Premises which includes all tenant improvements any right to participate in the adjustment of loss or to receive insurance proceeds and agrees upon request promptly to endorse and deliver to Landlord any checks or other instruments in payment of loss in which Tenant is named as payee.
4.2.5 Utilities. (a) Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord through Operating Costs, pursuant to Section 4.2.3, for all charges for the cost of electricity for base building HVAC, gas, and water (including sewer charges) for ordinary cleaning and lavatory use during the Term. Tenant shall pay to Landlord by means of monthly escrow payments (as set
forth in Section 4.2.5(b)), for all charges for the cost of electricity for Tenant’s lights, outlets, VAV boxes/Water Source Heat Pumps, and any special requirements, such as supplemental HVAC units, for example, and for any above-normal office usage of electricity at the Premises (“Tenant Electric”).
(b) Commencing as of the Commencement Date], Tenant shall pay directly to Landlord, as Additional Rent, estimated charges (the “Utilities Charges”) on account of Tenant Electric. Landlord shall reasonably estimate the amount of Utilities Charges payable by Tenant per month and shall notify Tenant prior to the Commencement Date of the initial estimate of Utilities Charges to be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall pay the Utilities Charges on the first day of each calendar month included in the Term, in the same manner as Tenant pays Fixed Rent pursuant to Section 4.1 above. Following Landlord’s receipt of utility provider invoices, Landlord will reconcile the estimated Utilities Charges paid by Tenant with the actual amounts owing from Tenant based on the number of kilowatt hours of electricity used in the Premises for the preceding month as registered on the sub- meters for the Premises. If it is determined Tenant has been overcharged, then such overpayment will be credited against Tenant’s account for the following month. If Tenant has underpaid, then Landlord will invoice Tenant for the amount owed and Tenant shall pay such amount within twenty (20) days after billing. Landlord reserves the right to adjust the monthly Utilities Charges from time to time based on the most current data available for Tenant’s electrical, and Tenant shall thereafter pay the adjusted Utilities Charges to Landlord until further notice.
(c) Tenant shall pay all charges for telephone and other utilities or services not supplied by Landlord, whether designated as a charge, tax, assessment, fee or otherwise, all such charges to be paid as the same from time to time become due. Except as otherwise provided in Article 5, it is understood and agreed that Tenant shall make its own arrangements for the installation or provision of all such utilities and that Landlord shall be under no obligation to furnish any utilities to the Premises and shall not be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply of any such utilities to the Premises.
4.3 Late Payment of Rent. If any installment of Fixed Rent or other amount due Landlord is paid after the date the same was due, and if on a prior occasion in the twelve (12) month period prior to the date such installment was due an installment of rent was paid after the same was due, then Tenant shall pay Landlord a late payment fee equal to five (5%) percent of the current overdue payment. In addition, if any installment of rent or other sum due Landlord is not paid when due, such installment shall bear interest from the date due until paid, at the rate of 12% per year not to exceed the highest rate permitted by law.
4.4 Security and Restoration Deposit: Upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security and Restoration Deposit. Said deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms of this Lease by said Tenant to be observed and performed. The Security and Restoration Deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned, transferred or encumbered by Tenant without the written
consent of Landlord and any such act on the part of Tenant shall be without force and effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord. If the Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or any other sum payable hereunder shall be overdue and unpaid or should Landlord make payments on behalf of the Tenant, or Tenant shall fail to perform any of the terms of this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, appropriate and apply said entire deposit or so much thereof as may be necessary to compensate Landlord toward the payment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other sums or loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to such breach on the part of Tenant; and Tenant shall forthwith within five (5) business days of demand restore said security to the original sum deposited. Said deposit shall be returned in full (or so much of the Security and Restoration Deposit as shall remain following any application thereof by Landlord) to Tenant within forty –five (45) days after the end of the Term (it being agreed that, if at the time Landlord is obligated to return such Security and Restoration Deposit, Landlord has given Tenant a notice of default for which the applicable cure period has yet to lapse, the forty-five (45) day period shall be extended to the end of the applicable cure period, and thereafter Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Security and Restoration Deposit to cure such default before returning what remains of the Security and Restoration Deposit to Tenant). In the event of bankruptcy or other creditor-debtor proceedings against Tenant, all securities shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of rent and other charges due Landlord for all periods prior to the filing of such proceedings
ARTICLE 5
Landlord’s Covenants
5.1 Affirmative Covenants. Landlord covenants with Tenant:
5.1.1 Heat and Air-Conditioning. To furnish to the Premises heat and air-conditioning (reserving the right, at any time, to change energy or heat sources), sufficient to maintain the Premises at comfortable temperatures (subject to all federal, state, and local regulations relating to the provision of heat), during the normal business hours for the Building set forth in the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit F (“Normal Building Hours”). Heat and air-conditioning will be available after Normal Building Hours, at Landlord’s then standard rate for after-hours usage, including wear and tear on Building equipment, as reasonably determined by Landlord from time to time. If Tenant desires heat or air-conditioning after Normal Building Hours, Tenant must provide Building management with at least 24 hours prior notice.
5.1.2 Electricity. To furnish to the Premises reasonable electricity for Tenant’s Permitted Uses, separately check metered for Tenant’s lights, plugs and supplemental hvac and at the direct expense of Tenant as provided in Section 4.2.5 above. If Tenant shall require electricity in excess of reasonable quantities for Tenant’s Permitted Uses and if (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment,
Landlord’s facilities are inadequate for such excess requirements, or (ii) such excess use shall result in an additional burden on the Building utilities systems and additional cost to Landlord on account thereof, as the case may be, (a) Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for such additional cost, as aforesaid, or (b) Landlord, upon written request, and at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, will furnish and install such additional wire, conduits, feeders, switchboards and appurtenances as reasonably may be required to supply such additional requirements of Tenant (if electricity therefor is then available to Landlord), provided that the same shall be permitted by applicable laws and insurance regulations and shall not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations or repairs.
5.1.3 Cleaning; Water. To provide cleaning to the Premises on business days in accordance with cleaning and janitorial standards generally prevailing throughout the Term hereof in comparable office buildings within the municipality in which the Building is located; and to furnish water for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes.
5.1.4 Elevator; Fire Alarm. To furnish elevator service from the lobby to the Premises; and to maintain fire alarm systems within the Building.
5.1.5 Repairs. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to make such repairs and replacements to the Common Areas, the roof, exterior walls and exterior windows, floor slabs and other structural components of the Building, and to the facilities and the base building plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems of the Building as may be necessary to keep them in good repair and condition (exclusive of equipment installed by Tenant and except for those repairs required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 6.1.3 hereof and repairs or replacements occasioned by any act or negligence of Tenant, its servants, agents, customers, contractors, employees, invitees, or licensees). The term “Common Areas” shall mean all areas within the Property which are not leased or held for the exclusive use of Tenant, including, but not limited to, parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, access roads, and landscaping. Landlord, from time to time, may change the size, location, nature and use of any of the Common Areas, construct additional parking facilities in the Common Areas and increase or decrease the Common Area land so long as Tenant’s use of the Premises is not materially affected. At any time, Landlord may close any portion of the Common Areas to perform any acts that are, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, necessary or desirable to maintain, repair or improve the Property.
5.1.6 Access. To provide access to the Common Areas and the Building 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, subject to happenings beyond the control of Landlord,
and subject further to any security requirements implemented by Landlord for all tenants of the Building.
5.1.7 Compliance with Law. Landlord shall comply with all applicable laws relating to the Building and the Common Areas, provided that compliance with such applicable laws is not the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease or another tenant or occupant under its lease, and provided further that Landlord’s failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises, or would unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenant, its employees or visitors, or otherwise materially interfere with or materially impact Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to comply with any law to the extent it has a good faith objection to such compliance and is pursuing the same with applicable authorities.
5.2 Interruption. Landlord shall be under no responsibility or liability for failure or interruption of any of the above-described utility services, or conditions arising in or about the Property caused by breakage, accident, strikes, repairs, inability to obtain supplies, labor or materials, or for any other causes beyond the control of the Landlord, and in no event for any indirect or consequential damages to Tenant; and failure or omission on the part of the Landlord to furnish any of the above services for any of the reasons set forth in this paragraph shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, actual or constructive, nor entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent, nor render the Landlord liable in damages, nor release Tenant from prompt fulfillment of any of its covenants under this Lease. However in each instance of failure or interruption Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to restore the unavailable service or remedy the condition following written notice from Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an event or circumstance (an “Abatement Event”) shall occur that causes an interruption or curtailment, suspension or stoppage of an Essential Service that reasonably prevents Tenant from using the entire Premises, or any material portion thereof, as a result of Landlord’s failure to provide any Essential Service (defined below) required to be provided by Landlord under this Lease, provided that such failure or Landlord’s inability to remedy such event or circumstance is not due to Force Majeure or a cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control generally affecting other buildings in the vicinity (such as a neighborhood power outage or other off-site occurrence) or the act or negligence of Tenant, its employees, vendors, or contractors, or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant then Tenant shall give Landlord notice (an “Abatement Notice”) of any such Abatement Event. If such Abatement Event continues beyond the “Eligibility Period” (defined below), then the Monthly Fixed Rent and monthly charges on account of Operating Costs Excess and Tax Excess shall be abated entirely or proportionately, as the case may be, after the expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent if Tenant is then in default beyond notice and cure periods of any of its obligations under this Lease (it being agreed that if Landlord has given notice of default for which the applicable cure period has yet to lapse,
Tenant must cure such default within such cure period for Tenant to be entitled to the abatement right set forth herein). The term “Eligibility Period” shall mean a period of five
(5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of any Abatement Notice(s). For purposes hereof, the term “Essential Services” shall mean the following services required to be provided by Landlord under this Lease: water and sewer service, HVAC, gas and electricity, and elevator service. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any Abatement Event caused by fire or other damage or destruction to the Building, which shall be covered by Article 7 of this Lease, and shall be Tenant’s sole remedy on account of an Abatement Event.
5.3 Outside Services. In the event Tenant wishes to provide outside services for the Premises over and above those services to be provided by Landlord as set forth herein, Tenant shall first obtain the prior written approval of Landlord for the installation and/or utilization of such services (“Outside services” shall include, but shall not be limited to, cleaning services, television, so-called “canned music” services, security services). In the event Landlord approves the installation and/or utilization of such services, such installation and utilization shall be at Tenant’s sole cost, risk and expense.
5.4 Landlord’s Insurance. During the term, Landlord shall keep in effect All Risk Property insurance with the usual extended coverage endorsements covering the lesser of (a) the full replacement cost of the Building (exclusive of excavation and foundation), including Landlord’s Work (but not any of Tenant’s personal property, nor any alteration or improvement outside of Landlord’s Work installed by or on behalf of Tenant) and (b) such amounts required of Landlord by any mortgage holder of the Property.
5.5 Indemnification. Landlord shall save harmless, exonerate and indemnify Tenant, agents, partners, officers, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, shareholders, and employees (collectively “Tenant Related Parties”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) or penalties asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or public authority on account of injury, death, damage or loss to person or property in or upon the common area of the Building and Property arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, except if the same was caused by the negligence, fault or misconduct of Tenant or the Tenant Related Parties. In respect of all of the foregoing, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant and the Tenant Related Parties from and against all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), and liabilities incurred in or in connection with any such claim, action or proceeding brought thereon; and, in case of any action or proceeding brought against Tenant or the Tenant Related Parties by reason of any claim for which Landlord is obligated to indemnify Tenant and the Tenant Related Parties as set forth above, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant and at Landlord’s expense, shall resist or defend such action or proceeding and employ counsel therefor reasonably satisfactory to Tenant provided that Tenant shall be deemed to have approved counsel provided by Landlord’s liability insurer. The preceding indemnification shall expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 6

6.1 Affirmative Covenants. Tenant covenants at all times during the Term and for such further time (prior or subsequent thereto) as Tenant occupies the Premises or any part thereof:
6.1.1 Perform Obligations. To perform promptly all of the obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease; and to pay when due the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and all charges, rates and other sums which by the terms of this Lease are to be paid by Tenant.
6.1.2 Use. To use the Premises only for the Permitted Uses, and from time to time to procure all licenses and permits necessary therefor, at Tenant’s sole expense.

Subject to the terms of Section 8.4 below, Landlord, upon default of Tenant hereunder beyond notice and cure periods (except in the case of potential injury and/or damage to persons and/or property, or where appearance and/or functionality is compromised in Landlord’s good faith judgment) and upon prior notice to Tenant, may elect, at the expense of Tenant, to perform all such cleaning and maintenance and to make any such repairs or to repair any damage or injury to the Building or the Premises caused by moving property of Tenant in or out of the Building, or by installation or removal of furniture or other property, or by misuse by, or neglect, or improper conduct of, Tenant or Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, contractors, customers, patrons, invitees, or licensees.

6.1.5 Indemnification. To indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its agents (including, without limitation, Landlord’s managing agent), partners, officers, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, shareholders, and employees (such parties being referred to collectively as the “Landlord Related Parties”) from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, penalties, fines, settlements, damages, loss, costs or expenses resulting from, arising out of, or in any way related to injury, death, damage or loss to person or property in or upon the Premises and the Property arising out of each of the following (a) the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant (including, without limitation, all patrons, employees and customers of Tenant), and/or (b) the negligent acts or omissions or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, and/or (c) on account of any breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, and/or (d) on account of or based upon anything whatsoever done on the Premises, except if the same was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties. In respect of all of the foregoing, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties from and against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), of whatever kind or nature incurred in or in connection with any such claim, action or proceeding brought thereon; and, in case of any action or proceeding brought against Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord and at Tenant’s expense, shall resist or defend such action or proceeding and employ counsel therefor reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The preceding indemnification shall expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
6.1.6 Landlord’s Right to Enter. To permit Landlord and its agents to enter into and examine the Premises at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of emergency) and to show the Premises, and to make repairs to the Premises, and, during the last six (6) months prior to the expiration of this Lease, to keep affixed in suitable places notices of availability of the Premises.
6.1.7 Personal Property at Tenant’s Risk. All of the furnishings, fixtures, equipment, effects and property of every kind, nature and description of Tenant and of all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant which, during the continuance of this Lease or any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant, may be on the Premises, shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant and if the whole or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, water, rain or by the leakage or bursting or other defect of water pipes, steam pipes, or other pipes, sprinklers, lighting fixtures or other cause by theft, any acts or omissions of any other tenant of the Property, or from any other cause, no part of said loss or damage is to be charged to or to be borne by Landlord, except that Landlord shall in no event be indemnified or held harmless or exonerated from any liability to Tenant or to any other person, for any injury, loss, damage or liability to the extent prohibited by law.
6.1.8 Payment of Landlord’s Cost of Enforcement. To pay on demand Landlord’s expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or in curing any default by Tenant under this Lease as provided in Section 8.4.
6.1.9 Yield Up. (A) At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease: to surrender all keys to the Premises; to remove all of its trade fixtures and personal property in the Premises; to deliver to Landlord stamped architectural plans showing the Premises at yield up (which may be the
initial plans if Tenant has made no installations after the Commencement Date); to remove such alterations, improvements, or installations made by or on behalf of Tenant (including any of the alterations, improvements or installations made by or on behalf of Tenant pursuant to Article 3 above) as Landlord may request (including computer and telecommunications wiring and cabling, it being understood that if Tenant leaves such wiring and cabling in a useable condition, Landlord, although having the right to request removal thereof, is less likely to so request) and all Tenant’s signs wherever located; to repair all damage caused by such removal and to yield up the Premises (including all installations and improvements made by Tenant except for trade fixtures and such of said installations or improvements as Landlord shall request Tenant to remove), broom-clean and in the same good order and repair in which Tenant is obliged to keep and maintain the Premises by the provisions of this Lease. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1.9 or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, except for voice and data wiring and cabling installed by or on behalf of Tenant, Landlord shall, subject to the terms and conditions below, not require removal of any alterations or installations made by or for Tenant except for those items that are not customary office improvements (“Non-Standard Improvements”). For purposes of this paragraph, “customary office improvements” shall mean leasehold improvements similar to those customarily made in connection with general office uses. Non-Standard Improvements shall include, without limitation, raised floors, supplemental HVAC systems and equipment, any modification to any portion of the Building’s systems, the installation of a vault or other similar device or system that is intended to secure the Premises or a portion thereof in a manner that exceeds the level of security used for ordinary office space, any plumbing connections in excess of those customarily made in connection with general office use (such as break stations and executive bathrooms), and any alterations altering or modifying the structural elements of the Building, including internal stairs. Tenant, at the time of requesting Landlord’s approval of any installations or alterations (and also in connection with Landlord’s Work), shall request in writing that Landlord designate whether the proposed installation or alteration is a Non- Standard Improvement that must be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. After receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing if any item is a Non-Standard Improvement that must be removed from the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Landlord does not indicate that a particular Non-Standard Improvement must be removed, then Landlord shall not later have the right to request its removal. Likewise, if Tenant, when making any installations or alterations (including but not limited to Landlord’s Work), fails to so request in writing whether an item is a Non-Standard Improvement that Landlord will require removal of, then Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to remove the installation or alteration at the end of the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of Landlord’s Work that is a Non- Standard Improvement is subject to the removal requirement set forth above. Any property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and, if Landlord so elects, deemed to be Landlord’s property, and may be retained or removed and disposed of by Landlord in such manner as Landlord shall determine and Tenant shall pay Landlord the entire cost and expense incurred by it in effecting such removal and disposition and in making any incidental repairs and replacements to the Premises and for use and occupancy during the period after the expiration of the term and prior to its performance of its obligations under this subsection 6.1.9. Tenant shall further indemnify Landlord against all loss, cost and damage resulting from Tenant’s failure and delay in surrendering the Premises as above
provided (it being agreed Tenant shall not be liable for consequential or indirect damages unless Tenant holds over for thirty (30) or more days).
(B) If the Tenant remains in the Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, such holding over shall be without right and shall not be deemed to create any tenancy, but the Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance only at a daily holdover rate of rent equal to 200% the Monthly Fixed Rent Rate and 100% of Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes last due as of the day prior to the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions of this Lease as applicable, except that in no event shall any extension option, right of first offer or right of first refusal, or similar right or option be deemed applicable to such tenancy at sufferance.
(C) Notwithstanding subparagraph (B) above, on the condition that (i) Tenant has given Landlord a notice of its intent to remain in the Premises beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease (a “Holdover Notice”) no earlier than one and twenty (120) days and no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Expiration Date, and (ii) Landlord does not then have a signed letter of intent or lease with another tenant for the Premises, or any portion thereof, at the time Tenant gives the Holdover Notice, then if the Tenant remains in the Premises beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, such holding over shall be without right and shall not be deemed to create any tenancy and Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance at a daily holdover rate of 150% of the Fixed Rent and 100% of Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes last due at the end of the Term, but only for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days. If Tenant continues to holdover in the Premises following the end of that initial thirty (30) day period, then the holdover rate shall increase to 200% of the Fixed Rent and 100% of Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes. In no way shall the terms of this subparagraph (C) be applicable in the event that Landlord exercises Landlord’s Termination Right under Section 2.4 (it being agreed any holding over beyond the Early Termination Date shall be governed solely by the terms of subparagraphs (A) and (B) above).
6.1.10 Rules and Regulations. To comply with the Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit F, and with all reasonable Rules and Regulations of general applicability to all tenants of the Building hereafter made by Landlord, of which Tenant has been given notice; Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure of other tenants of the Building to conform to such Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall cause all parties performing work on behalf of Tenant in or about the Premises and Building to comply with the Construction Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit F-1.
6.1.11 Estoppel Certificate. Upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing, which may be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G or in another form reasonably similar thereto, or such other commercially reasonable form as Landlord may provide from time to time, certifying all or any of the following: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (if such statement is true), (ii) whether the term has commenced and Fixed Rent and Additional Rent have become payable hereunder and, if so, the dates to which they have been paid, (iii) whether or not Landlord is in default in performance of any of the terms of this Lease, (iv) whether Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises, (v) whether Tenant has made any claim against Landlord under this Lease and, if so, the nature thereof and the dollar amount, if any, of such claim, (vi) whether there exist any offsets or defenses against enforcement of any of the terms of this Lease upon the part of Tenant to be performed, and (vii) such further information with respect to the Lease or the Premises as Landlord may
reasonably request. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this subsection 6.1.11 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Premises, or any prospective assignee of such mortgage. Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord such financial information as may be reasonably required by Landlord to be provided to any mortgagee or prospective purchaser of the Premises. If Tenant fails to deliver the estoppel certificate within the required time period, and such failure continues for an additional five (5) days following a second written request from Landlord, then Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent within twenty (20) days of demand, a fee in the amount of $500.00 per day for each day that Tenant fails to deliver the requested estoppel in the period beginning on the day after the expiration of the initial 10-day period, and ending on the day Tenant actually delivers the estoppel.
6.1.12 Landlord’s Expenses Re Consents. To reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days of demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket legal expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with all requests by Tenant for consent or approval hereunder.

6.2.1 Assignment and Subletting. (a) Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 6.2.1(e) below, not to assign, transfer, mortgage or pledge this Lease or to sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions and licenses and the like) all or any part of the Premises or permit this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any other rights arising under this Lease to be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord. In the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet any portion or all of the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s intent to so assign this Lease or sublet the Premises and the proposed effective date of such subletting or assignment, and shall request in such notification that Landlord consent thereto which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to an assignment or to a subletting, provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) the assignee or subtenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Uses;
(ii) with respect to a subletting, that after such subletting the initial Tenant named herein occupies at least fifty (50%) percent of the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises;
(iii) the proposed assignee or subtenant has a net worth and creditworthiness (aa) equal to or greater than Tenant’s as of the Effective Date or (bb) otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord;
(iv) the amount of the aggregate rent to be paid by the proposed subtenant is not less than [***] of the then current sublease market rate for the Premises; and
(v) the proposed assignee or subtenant is not then a tenant in the Building or an entity with which Landlord is dealing or has dealt within the preceding six months regarding the possibility of leasing space in the Building.
(vi) the proposed assignee or subtenant provides the representation and warranty required under Section 10.12 below (OFAC Compliance).
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with any information reasonably requested by Landlord to enable Landlord to determine whether the proposed assignment or subletting complies with the foregoing requirements, including without limitation, financial statements relating to the proposed assignee or subtenant, and, within thirty (30) days following receipt of all such items as set forth above and/or reasonably requested by Landlord, Landlord shall inform Tenant as to whether Landlord consents to, or denies consent to, such proposed sublet or assignment. With respect to any assignment or subletting during the Original Term of this Lease, such assignment shall not include the Extension Option granted to Tenant, and such sublease shall be for a term expiring no later than the Expiration Date.
(b) Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, reimburse Landlord promptly for Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket legal expenses incurred in connection with any request by Tenant for such consent. If Landlord consents thereto, no such subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder, and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation to obtain the Landlord’s written approval in the case of any other subletting or assignment.
(c) If for any assignment or sublease consented to by Landlord hereunder Tenant receives rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease, in excess of the rent called for hereunder, or in case of sublease of part, in excess of such rent fairly allocable to the part, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments called for hereunder are appropriately taken into account and after first deducting the following costs (if any) incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease or assignment: (i) any commercially reasonable alterations to the Premises made by Tenant, (ii) any commercially reasonable advertising or marketing expenses incurred by Tenant, (iii) any commercially reasonable improvement allowance or rent concessions provided to any transferee, and (iv) any commercially reasonable brokerage commissions, and
(v) any commercially reasonable out-of-pocket attorney’s fees (all of which shall be amortized on a straight line basis over the term of any assignment or sublease), to pay to Landlord as additional rent fifty (50%) percent of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after its receipt.
(d) Any other provision of this Section 6.2.1 notwithstanding, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s prior written consent and without any right of Landlord to terminate this Lease, (i) to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises to an entity which is either a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant (an “Affiliate”), provided Tenant remains primarily liable under this Lease, notifies Landlord of the assignment or subletting and delivers reasonable proof of the
affiliation to Landlord, and (ii) to assign this Lease to an entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated, whether or not Tenant is the surviving entity, or to an entity to which all or substantially all of Tenant’s stock or assets are transferred, provided that in any of such events described in (i) and (ii) of this Section 6.2.1(d), the successor entity or the Affiliate, as applicable, has a net worth (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) immediately after the transfer, assignment or subletting (as applicable) at least equal to the net worth of Tenant either as of the Effective Date or immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, transfer, assignment or subletting, whichever is greater, and proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction (except to the extent prohibited by applicable securities laws or regulations, in which case notice shall be given as soon as permissible under such laws or regulations). A transaction for which consent from the Landlord is not required pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be referred to in this Lease as a “Permitted Transfer.” In the event of any Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall remain primarily liable under this Lease and any assignee shall agree directly with Landlord, by written instrument in form satisfactory to Landlord, to assume and perform all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
(e) If at any time during the Term of this Lease, there is a name change, Tenant shall so notify Landlord and deliver evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord documenting such name change. If, at any time during the Term of this Lease, there is a transfer of a controlling interest in the shares or stock which are not publicly traded upon a stock exchange, or the membership or general partnership or other ownership interests of Tenant, or a restructuring or reorganization of the Tenant entity, including any spin-off, Tenant shall so notify Landlord and (whether or not Tenant so notifies Landlord) such transfer, restructuring or reorganization shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease requiring Landlord’s consent as provided in this Section 6.2.1. “Controlling interest” shall mean having ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation or other majority equity and control interest if not a corporation and the possession of power to direct or cause the direction of the management of such corporation or other entity.
(f) The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:
(i) Tenant hereby assigns and transfers to Landlord all of Tenant’s interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of all or a portion of the Premises heretofore or hereafter made by Tenant, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default by Tenant hereunder that is not cured within applicable notice and cure periods shall occur under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such sublease. Landlord shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such sublease to Landlord, nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a subtenant, be deemed liable to the subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and comply with any of Tenant’s obligations to such subtenant under such sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that a default hereunder exists under this Lease, to pay to Landlord the rents and other charges due and to become due under the sublease. The subtenant shall rely upon any such statement and request from Landlord and shall pay such rents and other charges to Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such breach exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against said subtenant, or, until the breach has been cured, against Landlord, for any such rents and other charges so paid by said subtenant to Landlord.
(ii) In the event of a default by Tenant in the performance of its obligations under this Lease that results in a termination of this Lease, Landlord, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may require any subtenant to attorn to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall undertake the obligations of the sublandlord under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such subtenant to Tenant or for any other prior defaults or breaches of Tenant as sublandlord under such sublease.
6.2.2 Nuisance. Not to injure, deface or otherwise harm the Premises; nor commit any nuisance; nor permit in the Premises any vending machine (except such as is used for the sale of merchandise to employees of Tenant) or inflammable fluids or chemicals (except such as are customarily used in connection with standard office equipment); nor permit any cooking to such extent as requires special exhaust venting; nor permit the emission of any objectionable noise or odor; nor make, allow or suffer any waste; nor make any use of the Premises which is improper, offensive or contrary to any law or ordinance or which will invalidate any of Landlord’s insurance; nor conduct any auction, fire, “going out of business” or bankruptcy sales.
6.2.3 Hazardous Wastes and Materials. Not to cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be used, handled, generated, stored or disposed of by Tenant, or persons or entities acting by, through, or on behalf of Tenant, on, under or above, or transported to or from, the Premises and/or the Property (collectively, “Hazardous Materials Activities”). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from using de minimus quantities of commercially available cleaners and office supplies which are customarily used in the ordinary course of first-class business office operations, which cleaners and/or office supplies contain Hazardous Materials; provided that, Tenant shall use such cleaners and/or office supplies in strict compliance (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) with all applicable laws, and shall use all necessary and appropriate precautions to prevent any spill, discharge,
release or exposure to persons or property. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss, cost, expense, claim, damage or liability arising out of any Hazardous Materials Activities by Tenant, or by Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, customers or invitees, whether or not consented to by Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to and approved by Landlord, and hold Landlord and all Landlord Affiliates harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees), claims, damages, obligations and liabilities arising out of: (i) any Hazardous Materials Activities on the Premises, whether or not consented to by Landlord; (ii) any Hazardous Materials Activities by Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, customers or invitees or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, wherever occurring; and (iii) any contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage, or the like arising out of or resulting from the foregoing. For purposes hereof, “Hazardous Materials” shall include but not be limited to substances defined as “hazardous substances,” “toxic substances” or “hazardous wastes” or “oil” in any local, state or federal law, rule, regulation or ordinance (collectively, “Environmental Law(s)”). If Landlord consents to any Hazardous Materials Activities, prior to using, storing or maintaining any Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a list of the types and quantities thereof, and shall update such list from time-to-time as necessary for continued accuracy. Tenant shall also provide Landlord with a copy of any Hazardous Materials inventory statement and any updates thereof required by any applicable Environmental Laws. If Tenant’s activities violate or create a risk of violation of any Environmental Law or cause a spill, discharge, release or exposure to any persons or property, Tenant shall cease such activities immediately. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord both by telephone and in writing of any spill, discharge, release or exposure of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises, or of any condition in or about the Premises constituting an “imminent hazard” under any Environmental Laws. Landlord, Landlord’s representatives and employees may enter the Premises during the Term to inspect Tenant’s compliance herewith, and may disclose any spill, discharge, release, or exposure or any violation of any Environmental Laws to any applicable governmental agencies or authorities. Landlord represents to Tenant, to Landlord’s actual knowledge as of the date of this Lease, that there are no hazardous materials in, on, about, under or emanating from the Premises in violation of any laws. The preceding indemnification contained in this Section 6.2.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
6.2.4 Floor Load; Heavy Equipment. Not to place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the floor load per square foot area which such floor was designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all heavy business machines and equipment, including safes, which shall be placed so as to distribute the weight. Business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or noise shall be placed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in settings sufficient to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance. Tenant shall not move any safe, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight or fixtures into or out of the Premises except in such manner and at such time as Landlord shall in each instance authorize.
6.2.5 Installation, Alterations or Additions. (A) Not to make any installations, alterations or additions in, to or on the Premises nor to permit the making of any holes in the walls (except in the case of hanging artwork, monitors, screens or any other items provided that any of such items are of a size and
weight customarily found in a typical office setting), partitions, ceilings or floors nor the installation or modification of any locks or security devices without on each occasion obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, and then only pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord in advance in each instance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, upon no less than ten (10) days prior notice to Landlord but without the prior consent of Landlord, may make cosmetic nonstructural, interior alterations or installations at a cost not to [***] per alteration/installation project in any 12-month period, only if such alterations or installations do not adversely affect the structural integrity of the Building, impact the Building systems, involve penetration of the roof or exterior walls, or require a building permit. In no event shall Landlord’s approval of any plans, including plans for any initial tenant improvements in accordance with Article 3, be construed as a waiver of Landlord’s right, pursuant to Section 6.1.9 above, to require removal of any Non-Standard Improvements at end of the Term. Tenant agrees to employ for any work one or more responsible contractors of whom Landlord has given prior approval, and whose labor will work without interference with other labor working on the Property, and to cause such contractors employed by Tenant to carry builder’s risk insurance as set forth in Section 4.2.4.1, worker’s compensation insurance in accordance with statutory requirements, Employers Liability Insurance at least equal to the limits set forth in Section 4.2.4.1, and commercial general liability insurance covering such contractors on or about the Premises in amounts at least equal to the limits set forth in Section 1.1. All contractors insurance shall name Landlord and its managing agent and any mortgagee as additional insureds on a primary and non-contributory basis, and indemnifying the parties so named against claims for death or injury to persons or damage to property claimed to have occurred in the Premises or on the property. Tenant shall cause its contractors to submit certificates evidencing such coverage to Landlord prior to the commencement of any such work. Tenant shall cause all contractors performing work on behalf of Tenant in or about the Premises and Building to comply with the Construction Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit F-1. Tenant shall pay promptly when due the entire cost of any work to the Premises undertaken by Tenant so that the Premises shall at all times be free of liens for labor and materials, and at Landlord’s request Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a bond or other security acceptable to Landlord assuring that any work commenced by Tenant will be completed in accordance with the plans and specifications theretofore approved by Landlord and assuring that the Premises will remain free of any mechanics’ lien or other encumbrance arising out of such work. In any event, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of notice from Landlord bond against or discharge any mechanics’ liens or other encumbrances that may arise out of such work. If Tenant shall fail to cause any such lien to be discharged within such 10 day period, then in addition to any other available right or remedy, Landlord may discharge the same, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by bonding or otherwise. Any amount so paid, and all costs and expenses so incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder. Tenant shall procure all necessary licenses and permits at Tenant’s sole expense before undertaking such work. All such work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner employing materials of good quality and so as to conform with all applicable zoning, building, fire, health and other codes, regulations, ordinances and laws. Tenant shall save Landlord harmless and indemnified from all injury, loss, claims or damage to any person or property occasioned by or growing out of such work, and any liability, loss, cost, damage and expense of every kind and nature incurred by reason of, or arising out of any and all
mechanic’s and other liens filed in connection with any alterations or improvements.
(B) Not to grant a security interest in, or to lease, any personal property or equipment being installed in the Premises, including, without limitation, demountable partitions (the “Collateral”) without first obtaining an agreement for the benefit of Landlord in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, from the secured party or lessor (“Secured Party”) that stipulates in the event either the Lease is terminated or Tenant defaults in its obligations to Secured Party, then (i) Secured Party will remove the Collateral within ten (10) business days after notice from Landlord of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or within ten (10) business days after Secured Party notifies Landlord that Secured Party has the right to remove the Collateral on account of Tenant’s default in its obligations to Secured Party, (ii) Secured Party will restore the area affected by such removal, and (iii) that a failure to so remove the Collateral will subject such property to the provisions of subsection 6.1.9 of the Lease.
6.2.6 Abandonment. Not to abandon the Premises during the term, it being understood and agreed that vacancy of the Premises shall not be construed as abandonment so long as all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, including payment of rent and all other sums owing to Landlord, continue to be timely performed and reasonable and diligent measures are taken by Tenant to manage the vacant space..
6.2.7 Signs. Not without Landlord’s prior written approval to paint or place any signs or place any curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, aerials, or the like, visible from outside the Premises. Landlord, at its sole expense, shall install Tenant’s business name in the lobby of the South Building and on the monument sign located outside the main driveway entrance to the Property on Burlington Road, using Building standard signage. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to install, at its sole expense, its business identification sign (which may be lighted) on the exterior façade of the South Building in a mutually agreed to location. All exterior signage shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval of the specifications, location and manner of installation, and shall be in compliance with all requirements of the Town of Bedford. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining, at its sole cost, all approvals and permits that may be required by the Town of Bedford. Tenant shall maintain its sign in good condition and repair, at its sole expense and shall remove the same at the end of the Term.
6.2.8 Parking and Storage. Not to permit any storage of materials outside of the Premises; nor to permit the use of the parking areas for either temporary or permanent storage of trucks; nor permit the use of the Premises for any use for which heavy trucking would be customary.
ARTICLE 7
Casualty or Taking
7.1 Termination. In the event that the Premises or the Building, or any material part thereof, shall be taken by any public authority or for any public use, or shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or casualty, or by the action of any public authority, then this Lease may be terminated at the election of Landlord. Such election, which may be made notwithstanding the fact that Landlord’s entire interest may have been divested, shall be made by the giving of notice by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of the taking or casualty. In the event that the Premises are substantially destroyed or damaged by fire or casualty, or by the action of public authority, and, in the reasonable opinion of an independent architect or engineer selected by Landlord, cannot be repaired or restored within two hundred and seventy (270) days from the date Landlord receives
the insurance proceeds for the repair or restoration work, then this Lease may be terminated at the election of Landlord or Tenant, which election shall be made by the giving of notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the date the opinion of the architect or engineer is made available to the parties, which notice shall specify the effective date of termination, which shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such parties’ termination notice. Landlord shall endeavor to deliver the architect’s opinion (the “Repair and Restoration Opinion”) to Tenant within forty-five (45) days following the casualty or taking.
7.2 Restoration. If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate the Lease as provided for in Section 7.1 above, then this Lease shall continue in force and commencing on the date of such casualty and/or taking a just proportion of the rent reserved, according to the nature and extent of the damages sustained by the Premises, shall be suspended or abated until the Premises, or what may remain thereof, shall be put by Landlord in proper condition for use, which Landlord covenants to do with reasonable diligence to the extent permitted by the net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded for such taking, destruction or damage and subject to zoning and building laws or ordinances then in existence. “Net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded” refers to the gross amount of such insurance or damages less the reasonable expenses of Landlord incurred in connection with the collection of the same, including without limitation, fees and expenses for legal and appraisal services. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.5, if Landlord shall not have restored the Premises, or in the case of a taking, what may remain thereof (excluding any alterations or installations made by or on behalf of Tenant, including the initial tenant improvements) before the later to occur of: (i) two hundred and seventy (270) days from date Landlord receives the insurance proceeds for the repair or restoration work or (ii) the date corresponding to the estimated amount of time set forth in the Repair and Restoration Opinion for repair from the date Landlord receives the insurance proceeds (the later of (i) and (ii) the “Restoration Deadline”), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice of such termination to Landlord, effective at the expiration of thirty (30) days from the giving of such notice; provided however, that such termination will be rendered ineffective if, prior to the expiration of said 30-day period, Landlord shall have completed such restoration. The foregoing termination right shall be Tenant’s sole remedy at law or in equity for Landlord’s failure to restore the Premises on or before the Restoration Deadline.
7.3 Award. Irrespective of the form in which recovery may be had by law, all rights to damages or compensation shall belong to Landlord in all cases. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord all of Tenant’s rights to such damages and covenants to deliver such further assignments thereof as Landlord may from time to time request. Tenant shall have the right to any separate award made by a public authority as may be specifically awarded to Tenant for Tenant’s personal property and relocation costs and moving fees in connection with a taking, but only to the extent (i) such amounts are awarded in a separate proceeding and
(ii) the award available to Landlord is not reduced or diminished in any way by such award being granted to Tenant.
ARTICLE 8
Defaults
8.1 Events of Default. (a) If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of its obligations to pay the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum due Landlord hereunder, or if Tenant shall fail to maintain the insurance required under Section 4.2.4 of this Lease, and if such default or failure shall continue for ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord designating such default or failure or (b) if within thirty (30) days after written notice from
Landlord to Tenant specifying any other default or defaults Tenant has not commenced diligently to correct the default or defaults so specified or has not thereafter diligently pursued such correction to completion, or (c) if any assignment shall be made by Tenant in violation of the provisions of Section 6.2.1 of this Lease, or (d) if any assignment shall be made by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or (e) if Tenant’s leasehold interest shall be taken on execution, or (f) if a lien or other involuntary encumbrance is filed against Tenant’s leasehold interest or Tenant’s other property, including said leasehold interest, and is not discharged within ten (10) days thereafter, or
(g) if a petition is filed by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant for liquidation, or for reorganization or an arrangement under any provision of any bankruptcy law or code as then in force and effect, or (h) if an involuntary petition under any of the provisions of any bankruptcy law or code is filed against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant and such involuntary petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter, then, and in any of such cases, Landlord and the agents and servants of Landlord lawfully may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any preceding breach of covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter without demand or notice and with process of law enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and repossess the same as of Landlord’s former estate and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant and remove its and their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or prior breach of covenants, and/or Landlord may terminate this Lease by sending written notice of termination to Tenant and this Lease shall terminate and come to an end on the date of entry as aforesaid, or on the third (3rd) day following the giving of such notice as fully and completely as if such date were the date originally fixed for expiration of the Term of this Lease. Tenant will quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but shall remain liable as herein provided. Tenant hereby waives all statutory rights to the Premises (including without limitation rights of redemption, if any, granted under any present or future laws, to the extent such rights may be lawfully waived). Landlord, without notice to Tenant, may store Tenant’s effects, and those of any person claiming through or under Tenant, at the expense and risk of Tenant, and, if Landlord so elects, may sell such effects at public auction or private sale and apply the net proceeds to the payment of all sums due to Landlord from Tenant, if any, and pay over the balance, if any, to Tenant. No termination or repossession provided for in this Section 8.1 shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant of the liabilities and obligations of Tenant under this Lease, all of which shall survive any such termination or repossession.
8.2 Remedies. (a) In the event of termination or repossession, Tenant covenants to pay punctually to Landlord Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums for which Tenant is obligated in this Lease to pay and in the same manner and to the same extent and at the same time as if this Lease had not been terminated. In calculating the amounts to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence, Tenant shall be credited with any amount paid to Landlord as compensation as set forth below in this Section 8.2 and also with the net proceeds of any rent obtained by Landlord by reletting the Premises, after deducting all Landlord’s expense in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, reasonable attorney’s fees, and expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting.
(b) Landlord may elect to (i) relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, for a term or terms which may be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant such concessions and free rent as Landlord in its sole and good faith judgment considers advisable or necessary to relet the same and/or (ii) make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole and good faith judgment considers advisable or necessary to relet the same and no action of Landlord in accordance with the foregoing or failure to relet or to collect rent under reletting shall operate or be construed to release or reduce Tenant’s liability as aforesaid. However, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises after Tenant vacates the Premises once this Lease is terminated on account of a default by Tenant. For the purposes of this paragraph, marketing of the Premises in a manner similar to the way Landlord markets its other premises in the suburban market shall be deemed to satisfy Landlord's obligation to use such "reasonable efforts." In no event shall Landlord be required (i) to solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises including, without limitation, the undisputed right to re-let the Premises free of any claim of Tenant,
(ii) to lease the Premises to a tenant whose proposed use, in Landlord's bona fide judgment, would violate any restrictions by which Landlord is bound, (iii) to re-let the Premises before leasing other comparable vacant space in the Building, (iv) to lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rental then prevailing for similar office space in the Building, or (v) to enter into a lease with any proposed tenant that does not have, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources or operating experience to operate the Premises in a manner comparable to other tenants in the Building. In no event, however, shall Tenant's liability hereunder be diminished or reduced if or to the extent such reasonable efforts of Landlord to re-let are not successful.
(c) If this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in Section 8.1, at the election of Landlord, and in lieu of full recovery by Landlord of the sums payable under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2 (except for the amount of any rent of any kind accrued and unpaid at the time of termination), Landlord may by written notice to Tenant, elect to recover, and Tenant shall thereupon pay forthwith to Landlord, as compensation, an amount equal to the present value of the amount by which the payments of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable for balance of the Term would exceed the fair rental value of the Premises for the balance of the Term.
(d) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
(e) Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, 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 proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.
8.3 Remedies Cumulative. Any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease, and at law and equity, shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as permitted by law.
8.4 Landlord’s Right to Cure Defaults. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure, at any time, without any additional notice, any default by Tenant under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods (except in the case of emergency, where no notice and cure period shall apply); and whenever Landlord so elects, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in curing a default shall be paid, as Additional Rent, by Tenant to Landlord on demand, together with lawful interest thereon from the date of payment by Landlord to the date of payment by Tenant.
8.5 Effect of Waivers of Default. Any consent or permission by Landlord to any act or omission which otherwise would be a breach of any covenant or condition herein, shall not in any way be held or construed (unless expressly so declared) to operate so as to impair the continuing obligation of any covenant or condition herein, or otherwise, except as to the specific instance, operate to permit similar acts or omissions.
8.6 No Waiver, etc. The failure of Landlord to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to have been a waiver of such breach by Landlord. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty.
8.7 No Accord and Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent or charge due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other charge be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.
ARTICLE 9
Rights of Mortgage Holders
9.1 Rights of Mortgage Holders. The word “mortgage” as used herein includes mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar instruments evidencing other voluntary liens or encumbrances, and modifications, consolidations, extensions, renewals, replacements and substitutes thereof. The word “holder” shall mean a mortgagee, and any subsequent holder or holders of a mortgage. Until the holder of a mortgage shall enter and take possession of the Property for the purpose of foreclosure, such holder shall have only such rights of Landlord as are necessary to preserve the integrity of this Lease as security. Upon entry and taking possession of the Property for the purpose of foreclosure, such holder shall have all the rights of Landlord. No such holder of a mortgage shall be liable either as mortgagee or as assignee, to perform, or be liable in damages for failure to perform, any of the obligations of Landlord unless and until such holder shall enter and take possession of the Property for the purpose of foreclosure. Upon entry for the purpose of foreclosure, such holder shall be liable to perform all of the obligations of Landlord, subject to and with the benefit of the provisions of Section 10.4, provided that a discontinuance of any foreclosure proceeding shall be deemed a conveyance under said provisions to the owner of the equity of the Property.
The covenants and agreements contained in this Lease with respect to the rights, powers and benefits of a holder of a mortgage (particularly, without limitation thereby, the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 9.1) constitute a continuing offer to any person, corporation or other entity, which by accepting a mortgage subject to this Lease, assumes the obligations herein set forth with respect to such holder; such holder is hereby constituted a party of this Lease as an obligee hereunder to the same extent as though its name were written hereon as such; and such holder shall be entitled to enforce such provisions in its own name. Tenant agrees on request of Landlord to execute and deliver from time to time any commercially reasonable agreement which may be necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 9.1.
9.2 Lease Superior or Subordinate to Mortgages. It is agreed that the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be (i) subject or subordinate to any present or future mortgage or mortgages and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest of the holder thereof in the Premises or any property of which the Premises are a
part if Landlord shall elect by notice to Tenant to subject or subordinate the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease to such mortgage or (ii) prior to any present or future mortgage or mortgages, if Landlord shall elect, by notice to Tenant, to give the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease priority to such mortgage; in the event of either of such elections and upon notification by Landlord to that effect, the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease should be deemed to be subordinate to, or have priority over, as the case may be, said mortgage or mortgages, irrespective of the time of execution or time of recording of any such mortgage or mortgages (provided that, in the case of subordination of this Lease to any future mortgages, the holder thereof agrees not to disturb the possession of Tenant so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder). Tenant agrees it will, upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all commercially reasonable instruments deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable to give effect to or notice of such subordination or priority. Tenant also agrees that if it shall fail at any time to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such instrument requested by Landlord, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, execute, acknowledge and deliver such instrument as the attorney-in-fact of Tenant and in Tenant’s name; and Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest with full power of substitution, and in its name, place and stead so to do. Any Mortgage to which this Lease shall be subordinated may contain such terms, provisions and conditions as the holder deems usual or customary. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain its current lender’s (and, when applicable, future lender’s) standard form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”). In the event Tenant wishes to negotiate such SNDA, it shall do so directly with the lender and all costs of obtaining and negotiating the SNDA shall be paid by Tenant.
ARTICLE 10
Miscellaneous Provisions
10.1 Notices from One Party to the Other. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and addressed, if to the Tenant, at the Original Notice Address of Tenant or such other address as Tenant shall have last designated by notice in writing to Landlord (with a copy of any notice of default being simultaneously sent to Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty) and, if to Landlord, at the Original Notice Address of Landlord or such other address as Landlord shall have last designated by notice in writing to Tenant. Any notice shall be deemed duly given upon receipt or rejection when mailed to such address postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or on the next business day after being deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier service for delivery to such address, or when delivered to such address by hand.
10.2 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord agrees that upon Tenant’s paying the rent and performing and observing the agreements, conditions and other provisions on its part to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the term hereof without any manner of hindrance or molestation from Landlord or anyone claiming under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease.
10.3 Lease not to be Recorded. Tenant agrees that it will not record this Lease. Both parties shall, upon the request of either, execute and deliver a notice or short form of this Lease in such form, if any, as may be permitted by applicable statute. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact (which appointment shall survive termination of the term of this Lease) with full power of substitution to execute, acknowledge and deliver a notice of termination of lease in Tenant’s name if Tenant fails, within ten (10) days after request therefor, to either execute, acknowledge or deliver such notice of termination or give Landlord written notice setting forth the reasons why Tenant is refusing to deliver such notice of termination.
10.4 Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations to be performed by Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the Property, and in the event of any transfer or transfers of title to said property, the Landlord (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be concurrently freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, without any further instrument or agreement of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, it being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord, shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on the Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership of said leasehold interest or fee, as the case may be. Tenant, its successors and assigns, shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Property and in the rents, issues and profits thereof, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease, it being specifically agreed that in no event whatsoever shall Landlord (which term shall include, without limitation, any general or limited partner, trustees, beneficiaries, officers, directors, managers, members or stockholders of Landlord) ever be personally liable for any such liability.
10.5 Force Majeure. In any case where either party hereto is required to do any act, delays caused by or resulting from Acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of labor, materials or equipment, government regulations, unusually severe weather, quarantine, infectious disease, epidemic, pandemic, public health emergency or crisis or other causes beyond such party’s reasonable control (any of the foregoing causes being referred to herein as “Force Majeure”) shall not be counted in determining the time during which work shall be
completed and the period of time for the performance of such action shall be extended by the number of days that the performance is actually delayed by such Force Majeure delay, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or a “reasonable time,” and such time shall be deemed to be extended by the period of such delay. During the continuance of any event of Force Majeure, Landlord may temporarily close the Building and/or cease to provide any service or amenity if Landlord deems it necessary, in its sole and good faith judgment, for the safety or well-being of the Building, the Property, its tenants and their employees, invitees and contractors. Tenant’s inability to pay any sums due Landlord hereunder shall in no way be affected or excused by any of the foregoing causes and shall in no event be deemed a Force Majeure event.
10.6 Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless it shall fail to perform such obligations and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default after written notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord (and to all mortgagees of which Tenant has notice) specifying the nature of Landlord’s alleged default. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, if Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any agreement or obligation under this Lease, and such failure shall continue beyond expiration of the notice and cure period set forth above, then Tenant shall have all rights and remedies available to Tenant at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, in no event shall Landlord ever be liable to Tenant, or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for any lost profits. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease for any default by Landlord hereunder and no right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any rent due hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as waiving any right under law that Tenant may have to bring a legal action for constructive eviction.

If there be more than one tenant, the obligations imposed by this Lease upon Tenant shall be joint and several.
10.9 Consents. With respect to any provision of this Lease which either provides or is held to provide that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or unreasonably delay any consent or approval, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any claim for, and Tenant hereby
expressly waives, any claim for damages, it being understood and agreed that Tenant’s sole remedy therefor shall be an action for specific performance.

FINAL EXECUTION COPY
FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (“Amendment”), dated as of May 4, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by and between 201 BURLINGTON ROAD OWNER, LLC (“Landlord”) and LANTHEUS MEDICAL IMAGING, INC. (“Tenant”).
BACKGROUND
Landlord and Tenant are parties to a lease dated February 14, 2022 (the “Lease”) for premises consisting of approximately 46,526 rentable square feet of floor area on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors in the south portion of the building (the “Existing Premises”) located on the parcel of land described in Exhibit A to the Lease (such parcel of land, the “Property”) and commonly known as 201 Burlington Road, Bedford, Massachusetts (the “Building”). The south portion of the Building is known as the “South Building.”
Tenant desires to lease from Landlord, and Landlord desires to lease to Tenant additional premises consisting of approximately 41,655 rentable square feet on the first floor of the north portion of the Building, substantially as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Expansion Premises”) for its use as a research and development laboratory as further set forth in Section 10 hereof. The north portion of the Building is known as the “North Building.”
Landlord and Tenant also desire to extend the Original Term and make certain changes to the Lease on account of the inclusion of the Expansion Premises, set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and the mutual undertakings set forth below, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The background recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as if fully set forth. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given them in the Lease.
2. Extension of Original Term. The Original Term of the Lease is hereby extended with respect to the Existing Premises and shall run co-terminously with the Expansion Premises Term (hereinafter defined), expiring on the redefined Expiration Date set forth below. The extended Original Term shall be on all the same terms and conditions of the Lease, except as amended hereby. The Commencement Date of the Original Term shall be determined as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Lease.
3. Expansion Premises. (a) The Expansion Premises are hereby leased to Tenant on all the terms and conditions of the Lease, as hereby amended, for a term (the “Expansion Premises Term”) commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date (defined below) and ending on the date that is fifteen (15) Lease Years from the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date (hereinafter defined) plus the first four (4) full calendar months immediately following Lease Year 15. That 4-month period is referred to herein as the “Partial Lease Year 16”. In implementation of the foregoing, the Expiration Date set forth in Section 1.1 of the Lease is hereby redefined to mean the last day of Partial Lease Year 16. That date, once determined shall be memorialized in the Commencement Date Notification required under Section 2.2 of the Lease. Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work (hereinafter defined) shall be sufficiently completed by September 1, 2023, subject to Force Majeure events (defined in Section 10.5 of the Lease) and/or Tenant Delay (defined in Section 4 of Exhibit B attached hereto). The Expansion Premises are leased to Tenant without any representation or warranty
by Landlord as to their suitability for Tenant’s use and occupancy, and without any requirement for Landlord to construct or prepare the Expansion Premises for Tenant’s use other than the “Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work” defined in and in accordance with Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
(b) The term “Lease Year” as used in this Amendment shall mean a period of twelve (12) consecutive full calendar months. The 1st Lease Year shall begin on the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date if that date is the first day of a full calendar month; if not, then the 1st Lease Year shall commence upon the first day of the full calendar month immediately following the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date and shall include the partial month in which the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date actually occurred. Each succeeding Lease Year shall commence upon the anniversary date of the 1st Lease Year. It is understood that the term “Lease Year” defined in Section 2.2 of the Lease applies only to the Existing Premises and shall have no applicability to the Expansion Premises.
4. Tenant Improvement Access Date. The “Tenant Improvement Access Date” shall be the date on which Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work is sufficiently completed to the extent necessary to deliver the Expansion Premises to Tenant for commencement of its improvement work, and certified as sufficiently completed by Landlord’s architect (provided such date shall not be earlier than September 1, 2023), subject to delay caused by Force Majeure events and/or any Tenant Delay. The term “sufficiently completed” as used in this Amendment shall mean that all work specified in the Landlord’s approved construction schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 has been completed up to the date specified therein (or specified in the final approved construction schedule, if different) for delivery of the Expansion Premises to Tenant for commencement of Tenant’s Work. Upon the Tenant Improvement Access Date, Tenant shall have access to the Expansion Premises to commence construction of “Tenant’s Work” defined in and in accordance with said Exhibit B. Landlord and Tenant will work together to coordinate their respective construction schedules in an effort to achieve an earlier Tenant Improvement Access Date with respect to the office portion of the Expansion Premises. The Tenant Improvement Access Date shall also serve to mean the “Expansion Premises Commencement Date” for all purposes under this Amendment, including determination of the beginning of the Expansion Premises Term. As of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date all references in the Lease to the “Premises” shall mean the Existing Premises and the Expansion Premises.
5. Early Office Use. Tenant shall have the conditional right, but not the obligation, to commence beneficial use and occupation of designated office portions of the Expansion Premises prior to the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, so long as such early office use will not interfere with Landlord’s core and shell work or delay completion of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work. Tenant’s early office use shall be limited to that office space designated by Landlord based on the preliminary layout plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-
1.Tenant’s use of the office space designated by Landlord as available for Tenant’s early use is not to be construed as causing any resulting “Tenant Delay” under Section 4 of Exhibit B attached hereto. However, Tenant’s use of undesignated office space shall not be excused from any resulting Tenant Delay. Prior to commencing beneficial use of any designated office space, Tenant must provide Landlord with a copy of a partial certificate of occupancy for the office portion issued by the Town of Bedford. If Tenant commences beneficial use of any amount of office space prior to the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord pro-rated Fixed Rent (at the triple net rate for Lease Year 1 set forth in Section 6 below), plus Tenant’s Percentage of Taxes and Operating Costs, all calculated on the basis of the rentable square feet of floor area used by Tenant, until the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date. On the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date the early use portion shall no longer be a separate and distinct area for which Tenant pays only pro-rated Fixed Rent, it being agreed that on the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date Tenant shall have the obligation to pay full Expansion Premises Fixed Rent based on the Expansion Premises as a whole, in accordance with Section 6(i) below. For clarity, the time period of any beneficial office use pursuant to this Section 5 shall not be counted in determining the
occurrence of the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date for any purpose under this Amendment.
Notwithstanding Tenant’s permitted early use, Tenant agrees to diligently pursue completion of its construction work in the remainder of the Expansion Premises and issuance of a partial temporary certificate of occupancy.
6. Expansion Premises Fixed Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant’s obligation to pay
(a) Fixed Rent for the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Premises Fixed Rent”) and (b) Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes for the Expansion Premises shall commence on the date that is eleven (11) months from the Expansion Premises Commencement Date (such date is referred to as the “Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Net Lease Conversion Date (hereinafter defined), does not accelerate Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes for the Expansion Premises prior to the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date. Commencing as of the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Expansion Premises Fixed Rent for the Expansion Premises at the same time and in the same manner set forth in Section 4.1 of the Lease, at the Annual Expansion Premises Fixed Rent Rate and the Monthly Expansion Premises Fixed Rent Rate as set forth in the rent schedule below. It is intended that Tenant’s obligation to pay Expansion Premises Fixed Rent for the Expansion Premises shall be phased-in during the first sixteen (16) calendar months following the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date1. The Expansion Premises Fixed Rent stated in the rent schedule in this Section 6 has been determined as follows:
(a) From the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date (plus any partial month in which such date occurs) through the twelve (12th) full calendar month thereafter, the Expansion Premises Fixed Rent is calculated based on approximately 27,000 rentable square feet of the Expansion Premises;
(b) From the first day of the 13th full calendar month from the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date through the end of the sixteenth (16th) full calendar month thereafter, the Expansion Premises Fixed Rent is
$0.00, it being agreed that Tenant shall pay no Fixed Rent for the Expansion Premises during the aforesaid 4-calendar month period; and
(c) From the first day of the 17th full calendar month from the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date) through the remainder of the Expansion Premises Term, the Expansion Premises Fixed Rent is calculated based on the entire 41,655 rentable square feet of the Expansion Premises as stated in the rent schedule below.

Period | Annual Fixed Rent Rate | Monthly Fixed Rent Rate |
Lease Year 1 | $1,768,500.00 | $147,375.00 |

Lease Year 10 | $3,559,946.40 | $296,662.20 |
Lease Year 11 | $3,666,744.84 | $305,562.07 |

7. Existing Premises Extended Term Fixed Rent. Commencing retroactively as of January 1, 2023, the Annual Fixed Rent Rate and the Monthly Fixed Rent Rate for the Existing Premises shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(b) hereof, as shown on Exhibit D attached hereto and incorporated herein.
8. Conversion to Net Fixed Rent for the Existing Premises. (a) Following the end of calendar year 2023, the Existing Premises Fixed Rent presently set forth in the Lease shall be converted from a gross rent to a triple net rent effective retroactively as of January 1, 2023, and additionally Tenant shall then be responsible for its proportionate share of net rent Operating Costs and Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall continue to pay Fixed Rent for the Existing Premises on a gross basis in the amounts set forth in Section 1.1 of the Lease without adjustment until the determination of the Rate Reduction (defined below) has been made in 2024, at which time the Rate Reduction will be applied retroactively to January 1, 2023 to adjust the Annual Fixed Rent paid by Tenant during calendar year 2023.
(b) Effective retroactively as of January 1, 2023, the Annual Fixed Rent Rate per rentable square foot, shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, by the Rate Reduction. The term “Rate Reduction” shall mean an amount equal to (a) the 2023 calendar year Operating Costs (grossed up to reflect 100% occupancy) and Taxes (adjusted, if necessary, to reflect a fully assessed property) for fiscal tax year 2023 multiplied by (b) the Tenant’s Percentage (as set forth in the original Lease), the product of which is then (c) divided by 46,526. A more illustrative example of the conversion from gross to net Fixed Rent is attached hereto as Exhibit D and is incorporated herein by reference. No later than ninety (90) days after the end of calendar year 2023, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an itemized statement of the Operating Costs for calendar year 2023 and Taxes for fiscal year 2023 for the Existing Premises, increased to reflect
all additional costs and expenses that would have been incurred had the Building been 100% occupied, prepared, allocated and computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, along with (a) Landlord’s determination of the Rate Reduction, and (b) a revised schedule of Existing Premises Annual Fixed Rent for the remainder of the Term (the “Revised Rent Schedule”).
(c) Within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord gives Tenant Landlord’s determination of the Rate Reduction, Tenant shall notify Landlord whether Tenant disputes or agrees with Landlord’s calculation of the Rate Reduction. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, or requires additional information to confirm its agreement with Landlord’s calculation of the Rate Reduction, then Tenant shall have the right to examine and review Landlord’s books and records establishing Operating Costs solely for calendar year 2023 and Taxes solely for fiscal tax year 2023 in order to confirm Landlord’s determination of the Rate Reduction. In so doing, Tenant shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 4.2.3 of the Lease for conducting an audit, including the dispute resolution procedure set forth therein. The time periods set forth in Section 4.2.3 for the parties to take action or give notice shall have no applicability to Tenant’s audit under this Section 8(c). Instead, the time periods set forth below shall govern when counting the number of days in which a party must take action or give notice:
(i) Tenant shall give Landlord at least five (5) business days prior written notice that it intends to conduct an audit; such audit must commence within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s audit notice and must be completed no later than thirty (30) days following the date the audit commenced.
(ii) If Landlord disputes the results of Tenant’s audit, Landlord shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenant’s audit results to obtain a certified public accountant to conduct Landlord’s own audit.
(iii) The parties shall have ten (10) business days after completion of Landlord’s audit to resolve the dispute or select a mutually agreed upon independent certified public accountant who shall make a final determination, to be rendered no later than fifteen (15) business days after appointment (the third accountant’s fees are to be shared equally between Landlord and Tenant).
The findings of such audit shall be conclusive as to the Operating Costs for calendar year 2023 and Taxes for fiscal tax year 2023 and shall be used in calculating the Rate Reduction in accordance with the methodology set forth in Section 8(b) above.
(d) Promptly after Landlord and Tenant have agreed upon the Rate Reduction, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the Revised Rent Schedule. Any overpayment of the Existing Premises Fixed Rent during all of calendar year 2023 and during the period from January 1, 2024 through the date of the Rate Reduction determination shall be promptly refunded to Tenant, or, at the election of Tenant, credited against the subsequent monthly installments of the net Fixed Rent for the Existing Premises.

The initial calculation of the monthly estimated payments shall be based upon Landlord’s initial estimate of Tenant’s Percentage of Taxes for the Tax Year and upon quarterly payments being due to the governmental authority on August 1, November 1, February 1 and May 1, and shall be made when the Commencement Date has been determined. If the total of such monthly remittances for any Tax Year is greater than the Tenant’s Percentage of Taxes for such Tax Year, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant, or credit against the next accruing payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.1, the difference; if the total of such remittances is less than the Tenant’s Percentage of Taxes for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the date or dates within such Tax Year that any Taxes become due and payable to the governmental authority (but in any event no earlier than ten (10) days following a written notice to Tenant, which notice shall set forth the manner of computation of Tenant’s Percentage of Taxes).

The initial monthly estimated payments shall be in an amount equal to 1/12th of Landlord’s initial estimate of Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Costs for the calendar year. If, at the expiration of the calendar year in respect of which monthly installments of Operating Costs shall have been made as aforesaid, the total of such monthly remittances is greater than the actual Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Costs for such year, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant, or credit against the next accruing payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.3, the difference; if the total of such remittances is less than the Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Costs for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within twenty (20) days from the date Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an itemized statement of the Operating Costs, prepared, allocated and computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Any reimbursement for Operating Costs due and payable by Tenant with respect to periods of less than twelve (12) months shall be equitably prorated.

17. Extension Options. Section 2.3 of the Lease is hereby deleted and the following is substituted in its place:
“2.3 Extension Options.
(a) Tenant shall have two (2) options (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the Term of this Lease for an additional period of five (5) years each (each, an “Extended Term”). The first such 5-year period (the “First Extended Term”) shall begin immediately upon the expiration of the Original Term and the second such 5-year period (the “Second Extended Term”) shall begin immediately upon the expiration of the First Extended Term, provided that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(i) As of the date of the Extension Notice (defined below) and as of the commencement of the First Extended Term, and, if applicable, as of the commencement of the Second Extended Term, Tenant shall not (x) be in monetary default and/or (y) be in non-monetary default beyond notice and cure period and/or (z) have been in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable grace period more than once during the immediately preceding 12- month period in each instance, and is occupying 100% of the Premises;
(ii) Tenant and/or Guarantor shall have had a net income for the 12- month period immediately preceding the date of the Extension Notice and for the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the First Extended Term, and if applicable, the Second Extended Term; and
(iii) Simultaneously with the delivery of an Extension Notice and also at the commencement of the First Extended Term, and, if applicable, the Second Extended Term, Tenant shall have delivered to Landlord (x) consolidated audited statements (collectively, an “Audited Statement”) for Tenant and/or Guarantor for the preceding year, prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, and (y) unaudited consolidated statements for Tenant and/or Guarantor for the most recently completed quarter prepared using generally accepted accounting principles, all of which are evidencing such net income during each of the periods specified in clause (ii) hereinabove; it being agreed that if and when an additional Audited Statement is completed between the delivery of any Extension Notice and the commencement of the applicable Extended Term (an “Updated Audited Statement”), Tenant will deliver such Updated Audited Statement to Landlord (and such Updated Audited Statement must satisfy the requirements set forth herein in all respects).
If the above conditions have not been satisfied, then the Extension Option shall be void and the Extension Notice previously sent by Tenant shall be nullified and of no effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord hereby reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive any condition set forth in clauses (i), (ii), and
(iii) of this Section 2.3. No such waiver shall be effective unless communicated by Landlord to Tenant in writing and shall be used for the sole purpose of giving effect to an applicable Extension Option and no other purpose.
(b) All of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease shall apply to each Extended Term, except that the Annual Fixed Rent Rate for the applicable Extended Term shall be the fair-market rental rate for comparable uses in comparable Class A buildings in the Burlington/Bedford area as of the commencement of such Extended Term (“Market Rate”), as designated by Landlord. If Tenant shall elect to exercise an Extension Option, it shall do so by giving Landlord written notice (the “Extension Notice”) of its election not later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Original Term of this Lease, or the First Extended Term, as the case may be, time being of the essence thereof. If timely and properly Tenant gives such notice and satisfies the conditions specified above, the extension of this Lease shall be automatically effected without the necessity of the execution of any additional lease or amendment documents. Tenant’s Extension Option is personal to the initial named Tenant, Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. (and any assignee or subtenant pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 6.2.1 below), and may not otherwise be assigned under any circumstances. The Original Term and the Extended Term shall be collectively referred to as the "Term" or the “term”.
(c) Not later than thirty (30) days following the giving of Tenant’s Extension Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate for the applicable Extended Term. Within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord gives Tenant Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate, Tenant shall notify Landlord whether Tenant accepts or disputes such rate. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, then Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to agree upon the Market Rate. In any event, the Annual Fixed Rent Rate for the First Extended Term shall not be less than the Annual Fixed Rent Rate in effect
immediately prior to the commencement of the First Extended Term, inclusive of any escalations (it being agreed that no such limitation shall apply to the Second Extended Term). If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Market Rate within thirty (30) days after the date on which Landlord first gave Tenant Landlord’s proposal for the Market Rate, then the Market Rate shall be determined as provided below.
(d) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Market Rate by the end of said thirty (30)-day period, then within five (5) business days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of the Market Rate. If the higher of such estimates is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the other estimate, then the Market Rate shall be the average of the two estimates. If the matter is not resolved by the exchange of estimates, then Market Rate shall be determined by an independent arbitrator as set forth below.
(e) Within seven (7) days after the exchange of estimates, the parties shall select, as an arbitrator, a mutually acceptable commercial real estate broker or appraiser licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts specializing in the field of commercial office leasing in the Burlington/Bedford market area, having no less than ten (10) years' experience (an “Approved Arbitrator”). If the parties cannot agree on such person, then within a second period of seven (7) days, each shall select one Approved Arbitrator and the two appointed Arbitrators shall, within five (5) days, select a third Approved Arbitrator who shall be the final decision-maker (the “Final Arbitrator”). If one party shall fail to timely make such appointment, then the person chosen by the other party shall be the sole arbitrator. Once the Final Arbitrator has been selected as provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as practicable, but in any case within fourteen (14) days after his or her appointment, the arbitrator shall determine the Market Rate by selecting either the Landlord’s estimate of Market Rate or the Tenant’s estimate of Market Rate. Such arbitrator must choose the proposed Market Rate that he/she determines is closest to the actual market rental rate for the Premises. There shall be no discovery or similar proceedings. The arbitrator’s decision as to which estimate shall be the Market Rate for the Extended Term shall be rendered in writing to both Landlord and Tenant and shall be final and binding upon them and shall be the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term. The costs of the Final Arbitrator will be equally divided between Landlord and Tenant. Any fees of any Approved Arbitrator or counsel engaged by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party that retained such Approved Arbitrator or counsel. If the dispute between the parties as to a market rate has not been resolved before the commencement of the Extended Term, then Tenant shall continue to pay Fixed Rent under the Lease based upon the Fixed Rent Rate in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term until either the agreement of the parties as to the market rate, or the decision of the Final Arbitrator, as the case may be, at which time Tenant shall pay any underpayment of Fixed Rent to Landlord.
(f) Once the Market Rate has been determined, the parties shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the Fixed Rent for the Premises during the applicable Extended Term.
(g) With respect to any assignment or subletting during the Term of this Lease, such assignment shall not include the Extension Options granted to Tenant, and such sublease shall be for a term expiring no later than the Expiration Date.”
18. Landlord’s Termination Right. Section 2.4 of the Lease, Landlord’s Termination Right, is hereby deleted and of no further effect.
19. Right of First Offer. The following new Section 2.4 is hereby added to the
Lease:
“2.4 Right of First Offer to Lease.
(a) During the Original Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have an ongoing right of first offer to lease the ROFO Space (hereinafter defined) as it becomes available for lease, subject to the terms and conditions contained below.
(b) “ROFO Space” shall mean all or any tenant space in the North Building. Tenant’s rights shall be subject to all rights of existing tenants to lease any ROFO Space, whether by expansion, extension, rights of first offer, or otherwise. [***] is the only tenant of the Building having rights to lease the ROFO Space.
(c) If Landlord makes a bona fide written offer to lease ROFO Space to a prospective tenant (a “Proposal”), Landlord shall first notify Tenant in writing of the opportunity to lease the offered ROFO Space (the “Opportunity Notice”), on the condition that (i) the initial Tenant named herein, Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. or an affiliate (i.e., any person or entity which is controlled by or under common control with Tenant, or which controls Tenant), occupies the entire Premises and (ii) Tenant shall not (x) be in monetary default at the time Landlord delivers the Opportunity Notice and/or (y) be in non-monetary default beyond notice and cure period at the time Landlord delivers the Opportunity Notice, and/or (z) have been in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable grace period more than once during the 12-month period immediately preceding the time when Landlord delivers the Opportunity Notice. If the conditions in the preceding sentence are not fully satisfied at the time of the Opportunity Notice, Tenant’s ROFO under this Section 2.4 shall not apply in that instance and Landlord shall be free to lease such ROFO Space to another tenant.
(d) Within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Opportunity Notice, Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord indicating whether it is interested in the possibility of leasing the ROFO Space. If Tenant timely so indicates its interest in leasing the ROFO Space and satisfies the conditions set forth in subparagraph (c), then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (“Landlord’s Offer Notice”) specifying the terms on which Landlord intends to offer to lease the ROFO Space to the general market except that the term of the ROFO Space will be coterminous with the then remaining portion of the Term of this Lease. Landlord’s Offer Notice shall identify the ROFO Space and the terms of the offer in reasonable detail and shall include Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate (as such term is defined in Section 2.3) for the ROFO Space. Tenant shall within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of Landlord’s Offer Notice either accept or decline such offer in writing, with Tenant’s failure to respond within such fifteen (15)-business day period being deemed an election to decline the offer.
(e) If Tenant has declined Landlord's offer for the ROFO Space, or is deemed to have declined the offer, or does not satisfy the conditions specified in subparagraph (c), Landlord shall be free to offer such ROFO Space to another tenant. However, Landlord shall deliver a new Landlord’s Offer
Notice prior to entering into a lease for such ROFO Space with a third party that provides for an effective rent that is 90% or less than the net effective rent specified in the initial Landlord’s Offer Notice for that specific ROFO Space. Landlord’s new Offer Notice shall be on such revised terms, and Tenant shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of the new offer to accept or reject such new offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s failure to exercise its right to lease any ROFO Space pursuant to any Offer Notice shall not terminate Tenant's continuing ROFO over all subsequent Proposals for ROFO Space during the Original Term of this Lease, provided, however, once Landlord enters into a lease for ROFO Space with another tenant, Tenant’s rights under this Section
2.4 shall be subject to the rights of that tenant to lease such ROFO Space in the future, whether by rights of extension or otherwise. If following Landlord’s initial Offer Notice and Proposal, Landlord does not execute a lease with another tenant for the ROFO Space, or is not in active negotiations with another tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a subsequent Opportunity Notice the next time Landlord delivers a new Proposal to another tenant for such ROFO Space. If Tenant declines the opportunity to lease the ROFO Space, the process shall repeat itself each time Landlord intends to issue a Proposal until either Tenant or another tenant leases the ROFO Space, whichever occurs first. However, Tenant’s ROFO shall only arise after the expiration of 90-days from the date of the previous Opportunity Notice, it being the intention of the parties that Landlord shall have no obligation to deliver an Opportunity Notice more than one time in any 90-day period even if Landlord issues a Proposal to another tenant during that 90-day period.
(f) If Tenant has accepted Landlord's offer but believes that Landlord's Offer Notice does not reflect the Market Rate, Tenant shall so notify Landlord stating in detail Tenant's estimate of Market Rate. If the parties are unable to agree upon the Market Rate within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s Offer Notice, then the Market Rate shall be determined as set forth in subparagraph (g) below.
(g) If Tenant timely elects to lease the ROFO Space, then the space shall, without further action by the parties, be leased by Tenant on the terms and conditions set forth in the Landlord's Offer Notice, subject to arbitration of the Market Rate if necessary, and otherwise on all of the other terms and conditions of this Lease. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Market Rate for any ROFO Space, their dispute shall be resolved by a procedure similar to that set forth in Section 2.3 (d), (e) and (f) of this Lease, and the result thereof shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. When implementing the procedure set forth in said Section 2.3(d) (e) and (f), the phrase “Extended Term” used therein shall be deemed to mean the applicable ROFO term.
(h) If there are 60 or fewer months remaining in the Term at the time of any Landlord’s Offer Notice, Landlord shall have the option to require Tenant to concurrently exercise its next Extension Option, if available, as a prerequisite for accepting the ROFO Space. Tenant shall either (i) exercise an Extension Option, if available, in accordance with Section 2.3 of this Lease, or (ii) extend the Term for an additional period of time such that there will be a full sixty (60) calendar months remaining in the Term following the commencement of the ROFO term, such that in all cases the term of the Lease for the ROFO Space will be coterminous with the Term of the Lease. The Annual Fixed Rent Rate for the entire Premises, including the ROFO Space, during the Extended Term or the additional extended period pursuant to this Section 2.4(h), will be determined in the
same manner as set forth in Section 2.3 (b) for determining the Annual Fixed Rent Rate during the applicable Extended Term. If Tenant declines to exercise its Extension Option to extend the Lease for the applicable Extended Term, or if Tenant declines to extend the Term for the additional period contemplated in clause (ii) of this paragraph (h) then Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected Landlord’s offer for the subject ROFO Space and Landlord will be free to offer such space to the general market.
(i) If Tenant timely elects to lease such ROFO Space, then the space shall, without further action by the parties, be leased by Tenant on the terms and conditions set forth in the Landlord's Offer Notice, and otherwise on all of the other terms and conditions of this Lease, and the parties shall memorialize such facts with a lease amendment.
This right of first offer is personal to Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. and may not be assigned to any other party except pursuant to a ‘Permitted Transfer’ under Section 6.2.1 of this Lease.”
20. Tenant’s Right of First Offer to Purchase.
(a) Landlord agrees that if Landlord shall decide to offer for sale (to a party other than an affiliate of Landlord) all of the Landlord’s interest in (i) the Building and the Property, (ii) the retained portion of the Property resulting from a subdivision of the Property, or (iii) any portion thereof comprising a condominium unit following Landlord’s conversion of the Property to a condominium regime) (together, “Landlord’s Interest in the Property”) and on the condition (x) Tenant is not then in default of its obligations under the Lease, and (y) the original named Tenant, Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc., occupies [***] of the Premises, Landlord shall first give notice thereof to Tenant. Such notice shall contain the terms and conditions upon which Landlord is proposing to offer to dispose of Landlord’s Interests In Property and shall constitute an offer to Tenant under this Section 20 (herein called “Landlord’s Submitted Offer”). For clarity, the subdivision of the Property or the submission of the Property to condominium status shall not be construed as a sale of all or any portion of Landlord’s Interest In The Property.
(b) Tenant shall have the right, to be exercised within [***] after its receipt of Landlord’s Submitted Offer (“Tenant’s Purchase ROFO Acceptance Period”), to give Landlord Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s Submitted Offer in writing, which shall be accompanied by a customary deposit, not to exceed [***], as established by Landlord in Landlord’s Submitted Offer (“Tenant’s Purchase ROFO Acceptance”). If Tenant shall duly and timely comply with the foregoing within Tenant’s ROFO Acceptance Period, then not later than the [***] following the expiration of Tenant’s Purchase ROFO Acceptance Period (the “Purchase ROFO Agreement Execution Period”), Landlord and Tenant, shall negotiate in good faith to finalize the terms and conditions of the sale and execute a binding purchase and sale agreement which shall include the terms set forth in Landlord’s Submitted Offer, and such other customary terms and conditions that are usual and customary for a sale of similar buildings [***]. Thereafter, such disposition shall be carried out in accordance therewith. If both parties, having acted in good faith, fail to execute a binding purchase and sale agreement by the expiration of the [***] Purchase ROFO Agreement Execution Period, then the right of first offer to purchase granted to Tenant under this Section 20 shall automatically be suspended, and any deposit promptly refunded, and Landlord shall thereafter be free, expressly subject to the provisions of Section 20(c), to
enter into a binding purchase and sale agreement with any third party on terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in Landlord’s Submitted Offer within the [***] period provided for in Section 20(c) below.
(c) If Landlord has not entered into a binding purchase and sale agreement with a third party in accordance with the provisions of Section 20(b) within the [***] period following the expiration of Tenant’s Purchase ROFO Agreement Execution Period, then Tenant’s right of first offer under this Section 20 shall be reinstated in full force and effect in accordance with the provisions hereof. However, if Tenant’s right of first offer has been terminated or extinguished as hereinafter set forth in this paragraph (c), there shall be no reinstatement of Tenant’s right of first offer. If Landlord enters into a binding purchase and sale agreement with a third party on terms substantially similar to the terms set forth in Landlord’s Submitted Offer within the aforesaid [***] period, the purchaser or purchasers shall not be bound by the provisions of this Section 20 and Tenant’s right of first offer to purchase under this Section 20 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. If Tenant has declined Landlord’s Submitted Offer, Tenant’s right of first offer to purchase shall be extinguished, provided, however, if Landlord thereafter offers Landlord’s Interest in the Property to a third party upon material terms that are more favorable to such purchaser than the material terms contained in Landlord’s Submitted Offer, or for a purchase price that is less than [***] of the purchase price that was offered to Tenant in Landlord’s Submitted Offer, then Landlord shall re-offer the Property to Tenant on the terms offered to such third party (“Landlord’s Revised Notice”) and the same procedures shall apply with respect to Landlord’s Revised Notice as set forth in paragraph (b) above, except that Tenant’s Purchase ROFO Acceptance Period shall be reduced to [***].
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise the rights provided to it under this Section 20 if at the time Tenant would otherwise by entitled to exercise such rights
(i) Tenant is then in default of its obligations under the Lease beyond the expiration of the applicable notice and cure periods under the Lease, or Landlord shall have given Tenant a notice of default which is not thereafter timely cured, (ii) the Lease shall no longer be in full force and effect, or (iii) Tenant (or a transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer under Section 6.2.1 of the Lease) itself is not occupying [***] of the Premises. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant’s rights of first offer under this Section 20 shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of any mortgage now or hereafter placed upon or affecting Landlord’s Interest In The Property or any portion thereof and or interest therein and the rights of the holder thereof and to any renewals, extensions, replacements, and modifications of any such mortgage. Further, Tenant’s right of first offer under this Section 20 shall not be applicable to any mortgagee of the Property.
Landlord shall not be required to offer Landlord’s Interest in the Property for sale to Tenant in the event of (i) a so-called “sale and leaseback financing” between Landlord, as borrower and any lender which involves a sale to such lender of all or any portion or portions of Landlord’s Interest In The Property together with a simultaneous leasing back thereof by the lender as landlord to Landlord and/or affiliates of Landlord, as tenant, (ii) any transaction with a lender for the purposes of financing or refinancing the Property, Landlord’s Interest In The Property (or any portion thereof) or Landlord’s or any other owner’s interest therein in which the lender receives or may receive any equity participation or other ownership in the
Property and/or Landlord’s Interest In the Property (or any portion thereof), in Landlord’s interest therein and/or in the building(s) built or to be built thereon and/or in rents, income and/or profits therefrom, (iii) any offer to sell or transfer the Property as part of a portfolio of any other one or more properties outside the Property owned by Landlord and/or affiliates of Landlord which Landlord intends to offer to the general market (a “Portfolio Sale”), and if a Portfolio Sale shall occur, Tenant’s right of first offer to purchase Landlord’s Interest in the Property under this Section 20 shall cease, terminate and be of no further force and effect. In no event shall Tenant’s rights under this Section 20 be triggered by any transaction between Landlord and an affiliate of Landlord, or any change in or addition of any capital partners or investors of Landlord, from time to time. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the aforesaid right of first offer to purchase is personal to Lantheus Medical Imagining, Inc., and that in no event will any assignee, sublessee, or other successor have any rights under this Section 20, except pursuant to a “Permitted Transfer” under Section 6.2.1 of the Lease.
21. Cleaning. Tenant shall be responsible for keeping the Expansion Premises in clean condition. Tenant shall, at its sole expense, contract for professional cleaning services for the Expansion Premises on a regular basis in accordance with prevailing cleaning standards. Section 5.1.3 of the Lease shall have no applicability to the Expansion Premises.
22. Signage. In addition to the signage rights provided in Section 6.2.7 of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install, at its sole expense, its business identification sign on the façade of the North Building facing Burlington Road, subject to Landlord’s approval of the specifications, locations and manner of installation (the “Building Sign”). Tenant’s Building Sign shall comply with all applicable codes, ordinances and requirements of the Town of Bedford. Tenant shall maintain the Building Sign in good condition, at its sole expense, and shall remove it at the end of the Term. Landlord, at its sole expense, shall provide building standard signage in the North Building lobby.
23. Special Use Permits; Contingency.
(a) Tenant is required to obtain from the Town of Bedford one or more special use permits which are necessary to conduct Tenant’s business operations and laboratory uses in the Expansion Premises (all such permits are collectively referred to as the “Special Use Permits”). It is agreed that the effectiveness of this Amendment is expressly conditioned upon Tenant obtaining the Special Use Permits (and only the Special Use Permits) on or before the date that is twelve (12) weeks after the Effective Date (such condition being referred to herein as the “Permitting Contingency” and such date being referred to as the “Permitting Contingency Date”). Promptly following the execution of this Amendment, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall apply for and diligently take all necessary steps to obtain such Special Use Permits. The Special Use Permits shall be deemed obtained when the time for appeal of the issuance of the same has expired with no appeal pending and no such appeal having been instituted, or if any appeal had been instituted, with such appeal having been adjudicated in favor of the issuance of the Special Use Permits, and with no conditions placed upon the Special Use Permits except as are acceptable to Tenant in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment. It is intended that the effectiveness of this Amendment shall not be dependent upon Tenant obtaining all other necessary governmental permits and approvals (such as a building permit for Tenant’s Work) by the Permitting Contingency Date (but Tenant shall not be relieved of the obligation to actually obtain all necessary permits and approvals required by the applicable governmental authorities). Landlord shall assist and cooperate with Tenant in obtaining
all necessary permits and approvals as Tenant reasonably requests, at no cost to Landlord.
(b) If the Permitting Contingency has not been satisfied by the Permitting Contingency Date, then either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Amendment by giving written notice of termination to the other no later than five (5) days after the Permitting Contingency Date, effective as of the date such termination notice. However, the foregoing termination right shall not be available to Tenant if Tenant’s actions or inactions, including not having used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Special Use Permits, are the sole reason the Permitting Contingency has not been satisfied, or (ii) to either party if either party is making significant progress in obtaining the Special Use Permits. As used herein, “significant progress” shall mean Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) has filed all required documentation, is attending all meetings and using commercially reasonable efforts to respond to follow-up questions and requests for information required by the Town in a timely manner. If either party timely elects to terminate, this Amendment shall be void ab initio and shall terminate as of the effective date of termination without the need for any further documentation. In no event shall the termination of this Amendment operate to terminate the Lease, it being agreed that the Lease shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the date of this Amendment. If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to so terminate, the Permitting Contingency shall be deemed to have been waived by the parties without further action and this Amendment shall continue in full force and effect.
24. Hazardous Materials.
(a) Tenant covenants and agrees not to use, Release, dispose, manufacture, store, or transport any Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined), and/or Radioactive Materials (hereinafter defined), at, on, under or from the Premises and the Property except for those Hazardous Materials and Radioactive Materials used in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business [***]. Tenant covenants and agrees not to use, Release, dispose, manufacture, store, or transport any Hazardous Materials and/or Radioactive Materials at, on, under or from the Premises and the Property except in compliance with any and all laws, regulations, ordinances or orders promulgated, and as may be amended, by any local governmental authority, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and/or the United States Government having jurisdiction over such Hazardous Materials and/or Radioactive Materials so brought upon or used or kept in or about the Property (collectively, “Legal Requirements”), and only in compliance with all such applicable Legal Requirements and any reasonable requirements of Landlord (such as zoning/permitting requirements for fencing or other locked enclosures). Tenant shall comply with all applicable governmental reporting requirements with respect to Hazardous Materials, Radioactive Materials, and all chemicals and flammable substances (in whatever form) used by Tenant in its business operations, and shall deliver to Landlord copies of all such reports. In the event that a Release or Threat of Release (hereinafter defined) of Hazardous Materials or Radioactive Materials occurs at, from or upon the Premises or Property during the term of this Lease for which Tenant is responsible, Tenant shall at its expense perform all actions required under any and all applicable Legal Requirements to assess, contain, remove or respond to such Release or Threat of Release; provided, however, that Tenant’s work or actions hereunder shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any and all materials defined or classified as “hazardous materials” “hazardous waste,” “hazardous
substance,” “toxic substance,” “hazardous pollutant,” “toxic pollutant” or “oil” or words of similar import under any applicable local, state or federal law and/or under the regulations adopted or publications promulgated pursuant thereto, including, but not limited to, 42 U.S.C. §9601 et. seq. (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §6901 et. seq. (RCRA), M.G.L. c. 21C or M.G.L. c.
21E, 310 CMR 40.0000 (MCP), or the Town of Bedford Bylaw Article 50, all as amended. The term “Radioactive Materials” shall mean any and all source, special nuclear, or byproducts of materials as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, and/or that are subject to regulation by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and/or Massachusetts Department of Public Health Radiation Control Program under 105 CMR 120.00. The term “Hazardous Materials” used under this Section 24 shall also mean and include “Radioactive Materials”, unless the context requires otherwise. The terms “Threat of Release” and “Threats of Release” as used in this Amendment mean a substantial likelihood of a Release that requires action to prevent or mitigate damage to the environment or the Building that may result from such release. For purposes of this Section 24, a “Release” occurs when it meets or exceeds the Materiality Standards outlined in Exhibit C attached hereto.
Landlord and Tenant agree that Section 6.2.3 of the Lease, Hazardous Wastes and Materials, is hereby deleted in its entirety and that the terms and provisions of this Section 24 shall govern as of the Effective Date.
(b) Landlord has a framework of Materiality Standards, set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and incorporated herein, for determining certain spills, Releases or Threats of Release of Hazardous Materials or Radioactive Materials at the Premises, Building or Property requiring notification of Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of all spills, Releases or Threat of Release of Hazardous Materials and/or Radioactive Materials at the Premises, the Building, or the Property which meet one or more of the Materiality Standards for notification of Landlord set forth in said Exhibit C caused by or involving Tenant or its business operations. Further, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of all notices, orders, fines or communications of any kind received by Tenant from any governmental authority or third party concerning the presence or suspected presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises or the Property, the migration or suspected migration of Hazardous Materials from the Premises or the Property to other property, or the migration or suspected migration of Hazardous Materials from other property to the Premises or the Property.
(c) Upon not less than fifteen (15) days advance written notice to Tenant, Landlord, its officers, employees, contractors and agents shall have the right, but not the duty, to cause its environmental LSP to inspect areas of the Premises to determine whether Tenant is complying with CERCLA, RCRA, Chapter 21C, Chapter 21E, the US NRC, 105 CMR 120.00, and other municipal, state and federal environmental laws, or regulations promulgated pursuant to any of the foregoing, as amended. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business, including, but not limited to, conducting any inspection during regular business hours, or during other hours by agreement of the parties, but shall not be liable for any interference caused thereby, provided Landlord shall have used such reasonable efforts.
(d) Tenant shall permit Landlord, its employees and its agents (including its environmental LSP), access to all areas of the Premises, from time to time during the Term, for the purposes of conducting an environmental assessment or inspection as set forth herein. Upon not less than fifteen (15) days advance written notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to conduct an environmental assessment of the Premises as well as any other
areas in, on or about the Property that Landlord reasonably believes may have been affected adversely by Tenant’s use of the Premises (collectively, the “Affected Areas”) in order to confirm that the Premises and the Affected Areas do not contain any Hazardous Materials resulting from Tenant’s use in violation of applicable Legal Requirements or under conditions constituting or likely to constitute a Release of Hazardous Materials. Such environmental assessment shall be such level of investigation necessary, as recommended by Landlord’s environmental LSP. Such right to conduct such environmental assessment shall not be exercised more than once per calendar year, unless there is an environmental emergency or if Landlord reasonably believes that areas of the Premises or the Property may have been adversely affected by Tenant’s use of the Premises. If contamination has occurred for which Tenant is liable for under this Lease, then Tenant shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred to conduct the assessment. If no such contamination is found, Landlord shall pay for the costs of the assessment. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of all third-party reports and tests of the Premises and Affected Areas made by or on behalf of Landlord during the Term. In the event Landlord shall exercise its rights under this Section 24(d), Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business, including, but not limited to, conducting any assessment during regular business hours, or during other hours either by agreement of the parties or in the event of an environmental emergency, but shall not be liable for any interference caused thereby, provided Landlord shall have used such reasonable efforts.
(e) Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, during the Term (provided that Landlord has a reasonable belief that Hazardous Materials are present on or at the Premises or the Property in violation of Legal Requirements and has delivered to Tenant evidence to support such belief), and upon the expiration of the Term of the Lease, to require that Tenant hire, and in such event, Tenant shall at its own expense hire, an environmental consultant reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to undertake an environmental assessment, inspection and/or sampling at the Premises and/or Property to determine whether Hazardous Materials have been Released during the Term of the Lease. Such right to require such environmental assessment shall not be exercised more than once per calendar year, unless there is an environmental emergency or if Landlord reasonably believes that areas of the Premises or the Property may have been adversely affected by Tenant’s use of the Premises. If it is determined that no Release has occurred, Landlord shall pay for the costs of the assessment.
(f) Should the assessment, inspection or sampling performed pursuant to Section 24(c) or Section 24(d) above, or any other assessment, inspection or sampling, reveal that there has been a Release or Threat of Release of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or its employees, agents or contractors, then Tenant shall,
(i) in the event of a Release, at its expense, undertake with an environmental LSP of its choice, all remediation and/or response action required by any governmental authority, or (ii) in the event of a Threat of Release, at its expense, undertake, with an environmental LSP of its choice, all remediation and/or response action reasonably required by Landlord but in no event in excess of any such response action that would be required by any applicable governmental authority and (iii) in either event, Tenant shall promptly thereafter restore any areas damaged or affected by such remediation and/or response action.
(g) [***].
(h) Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to and approved by Landlord, and save Landlord harmless from all claims, liability,
loss, out-of-pocket costs or damage arising as a result of the use, Release, Threat of Release, holding, handling, transport, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials and/or Radioactive Materials by Tenant, its employees, agents, affiliates, assignees, subtenants, or contractors, or any party transporting Hazardous Materials and/or Radioactive Materials at, on, upon or from the Premises or Property from and after the Tenant Improvement Access Date or the date Tenant first occupied any portion of the Premises for lab use as set forth in Section 5 of this Amendment, including, without limitation, liability under any federal, state, or local laws, requirements and regulations, or damage to any of the systems of the Building or the Property, except to the extent caused by the negligence or misconduct of Landlord or any other occupants of the Building or other third parties not acting through or on behalf of Tenant. The provisions of this Section 24(h) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (h), Tenant shall not be responsible for, and the indemnification and hold harmless obligation set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to (i) contamination in the Premises which existed in the Premises prior to the Tenant Improvement Access Date or the date Tenant first occupied the Expansion Premises for lab use in accordance with Section 5 of this Amendment, or (ii) the presence of any Hazardous Materials and/or Radioactive Materials in the Premises which migrated from outside of the Premises into the Premises, unless and to the extent, in either case, the presence of such Hazardous Materials (x) is the result of a breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease, or (y) was caused, contributed to, in whole or in part, by Tenant or its agents, employees, affiliates, assignees, subtenants, or contractors.
(i) Tenant shall be solely responsible for conducting all facility decommissioning for the Expansion Premises. On or before the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Expansion Premises to Landlord in a condition deemed suitable for unrestricted use, as defined by the NRC, with all facility decommissioning work completed. Tenant’s facility decommissioning work shall be deemed completed if Tenant complies, in all material respects with the American National Standards Institute’s Laboratory Decommissioning guidelines (ANSI/AIHA Z9.11-2008) or any successor standards published by ANSI or any successor organization (or, if ANSI and its successors no longer exist, a similar entity publishing similar standards) and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Regulation 105 CMR
120.00 (specifically regarding Radiological Criteria for License Termination (120.244-120.258), and the NRC Regulation Title 10 CFR (specifically Subpart E – Radiological Criteria for License Termination (collectively, the “Decommissioning Standards”). Landlord shall have the right (upon reasonable prior notice and during business hours) to have its environmental specialists, observe and inspect the progress of Tenant’s decommissioning work. In addition, at least ten (10) days prior to Tenant’s surrender of possession of any part of the Expansion Premises, Tenant shall (a) provide Landlord with written evidence of all appropriate governmental releases obtained by Tenant in accordance with applicable laws, (b) place Laboratory Equipment Decontamination Forms on all decommissioned equipment to assure safe occupancy by future users and (c) conduct a site inspection with Landlord. In addition, Tenant agrees to remain responsible after the surrender of the Expansion Premises for the remediation of any Hazardous Materials or Radioactive Materials, for which it is responsible, in, on, or at the Property due to a Release to the environment during the Term. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 24 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
(j) Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant as of the Effective Date, that, except as identified in the Environmental Reports listed and defined in Exhibit H attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, to Landlord’s actual knowledge: (i) no Hazardous Materials or Radioactive Materials have been disposed of, or identified on, under, or at the Property in violation of applicable environmental laws; (ii) no written notice has been issued to Landlord from any government authorities, or any political or quasi-political, subdivision, agency, authority, department, court, commission, board, bureau, or instrumentality of any of the foregoing asserting that the Property is or may be in violation of any applicable federal, state, or municipal law, ordinance, or regulation regarding Hazardous Materials; (iii) except as referenced in the Environmental Reports, no further Hazardous Materials were used in the construction of the Building; (iv) no Release of Hazardous Materials has occurred at, from, in, adjacent to, or on the Property, nor are there any Hazardous Materials migrating to the Property; (v) except as may be disclosed in the Environmental Reports, no incinerators, septic tanks, underground storage tanks, PCB-containing equipment, asbestos-containing material, formaldehyde insulators, or cesspools are on the Property; (vi) all waste is discharged from the Property into a public sanitary sewer system in accordance with applicable legal requirements and no Hazardous Materials are discharged from the Property, directly or indirectly, into any body of water by Landlord.
Landlord has delivered to Tenant copies of all environmental reports, including, but not limited to, soil reports and groundwater reports, prepared by third parties that Landlord has in its possession. Tenant acknowledges receipt of the Environmental Reports.
Landlord agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Tenant from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, charges, and expenses in the enforcement of this indemnity) asserted against or suffered by Tenant arising out of, related to, or caused by the breach or inaccuracy of the representation and warranty made under this Section 24(j) by Landlord. The indemnification contained in this Section 24(j) shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of this Agreement or the Lease.
(k) Landlord shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant and approved by Tenant, and save Tenant harmless from and against all claims, liability or loss, out of pocket costs or damage as a result of the existence of Hazardous Materials or Radioactive Materials in, at or upon the Expansion Premises prior to the Tenant Improvement Access Date or the date of Tenant’s earlier occupancy of any portion of the Expansion Premises for lab use (whichever occurs first) provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent Tenant or its agents, employees, affiliates, assignees, subtenants, or contractors causes or contributes to the Release or Threat of Release of Hazardous Materials and/or Radioactive Materials which are the subject of such claim, liability, loss and/or damage. With respect to claims against Tenant arising out of personal injury or damage suffered or alleged to have been suffered by Tenant’s employees or former employees, subtenants or contractors relating to such pre-existing Hazardous Materials, Landlord shall have no duty to defend Tenant, however, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant (including legal costs incurred) in such cases only if such party’s claim prevails, despite Tenant having used reasonable efforts to defend such claim, in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction through final judgement, with no further appeal. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, be responsible for remediation of any Hazardous Material in, on, under or about the Expansion Premises prior to the Tenant Improvement
Access Date or the date of Tenant’s earlier occupancy of the Expansion Premises for lab purposes. The provisions of this Section 24(j) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
(l) It is a condition precedent to Tenant’s obligation to perform under this Amendment that Tenant obtains an environmental insurance policy satisfactory to Tenant in its sole discretion. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant to provide such information and documentation in its possession regarding the nature and extent of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from the Building and the Property as Tenant may reasonably request, and to allow such further testing as may be reasonably required and approved by Landlord (approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to enable Tenant to obtain the environmental insurance policy. If Tenant is unable to obtain a satisfactory policy prior to the Permitting Contingency Date, Tenant may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to proceed with this Amendment by giving Landlord written notice of such election (the “Notice Not To Proceed”) no later than ten (10) days after the Permitting Contingency Date. If Tenant gives Landlord the Notice Not To Proceed, this Amendment (but not the Lease) shall terminate, effective five (5) days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice.
25. Rooftop Equipment.
(a) Tenant shall have the right, at no charge to Tenant, to install and operate rooftop mechanical equipment to be used in connection with the Tenant’s lab uses, to be installed in an area on the roof of the North Building to be designated for Tenant’s use (such area is referred to as the “Rooftop Equipment Area”). Following the execution of this Amendment, Landlord and Tenant shall work together, each acting reasonably and in good faith, to agree on a rooftop plan which will (i) determine a mutually acceptable location for placement of the Rooftop Equipment (defined below) and (ii) reach an agreement as to the manner of installation of the Rooftop Equipment. While Landlord agrees to act reasonably and in good faith, Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonable if (x) it designates specific areas as suitable for placement of the Rooftop Equipment (it being understood that Landlord needs to take into account conditions for future rooftop installations), or (y) it places any condition(s) on any manner of equipment installation that would adversely affect the proper functioning of the Building systems. Tenant’s rooftop equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, regarding size and the manner of installation, including conformance with Landlord’s reasonable design criteria and any other reasonable requirements. The approved rooftop equipment shall be referred to herein as the “Rooftop Equipment”. Tenant shall ensure that installation of the Rooftop Equipment will not in any way affect the roof warranty or the structural integrity of the roof, and shall require its employees and contractors to exercise the standard of care required by the manufacturer of the roofing materials to prevent voiding roof warranties. In connection with the foregoing, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for its approval the plans and specifications for the Rooftop Equipment installation, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall comply with Landlord’s requirements under Section 6.2.5 of the Lease, in all respects, provided, however, Landlord shall not be deemed unreasonable for conditioning its approval of any plans and specifications if the manner of installation will not meet, at a minimum, the same standard of care required by the manufacturer of the roofing materials to prevent voiding roof warranties. Tenant shall also have the right to use its proportionate share of common conduit and shaft space in the Building, if available, at no charge, to connect the Premises to the Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall also pay
Landlord all costs of electricity in connection with the Rooftop Equipment, as reasonably determined by Landlord, such amounts to be included in Expansion Premises Tenant Electric payable by Tenant in accordance with Section 16 hereof and Section 4.2.5(b) of the Lease. Tenant agrees to maintain the Rooftop Equipment in good condition and repair throughout the Term. The installation, operation, maintenance, repair and removal of all Rooftop Equipment shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, utilizing contractors approved by Landlord, which may be Landlord’s roofing contractor if required by Landlord, and shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws and requirements of the Town of Bedford and any other governmental agencies and public authorities having jurisdiction.
(b) Tenant’s use of the Rooftop Equipment Area and the Rooftop Equipment shall not interfere with the use of the roof by other tenants (it being understood that the use of the Rooftop Equipment in the locations shown on a final rooftop plan approved by Landlord shall be deemed to not interfere). Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Equipment from the roof upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, including capping off all shafts used in the operation of Tenant’s mechanical equipment, and repair any damage to the roof and/or the Building caused by removal, unless at the time of review of Tenant’s Plans Landlord advised Tenant that the Rooftop Equipment is not required to be removed at the end of the Term.
(c) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses relating in any way to the Rooftop Equipment, including damage to the roof or the Building, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, or other users of the roof. The foregoing indemnification shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
(d) The right to install the Rooftop Equipment is personal to the initial named tenant, Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. and may not be assigned or subleased except in connection with a Permitted Transfer under Section 6.2.1(d) of the Lease (or any assignment of the Lease approved by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.2.1 of the Lease). Once installed, the Rooftop Equipment may be assigned or subleased only in connection with an assignment of the Lease or a subletting of the Premises. In that event, Tenant shall not be relieved of the primary responsibility for removal of any Rooftop Equipment under the terms of Section 25(b) above. Tenant shall be prohibited from granting any other party any right or license to use any portion of the Rooftop Equipment Area apart from the Lease.
26. Subordination. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Landlord shall cause its current lender to execute and deliver to Tenant a Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the "SNDA"). If the SNDA is not delivered to Tenant within five (5) business days following full execution of this Amendment and execution of the SNDA by Tenant and Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Amendment, but not the Lease, by giving written notice of termination to Landlord, effective upon Landlord’s receipt of such notice, without liability or obligation on the part of either Landlord or Tenant.
27. Lease not to be Recorded; Notice of Lease. Tenant agrees it will not record the Lease or this Amendment. Contemporaneously with the execution of the Amendment, (a) Landlord agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver a Notice of Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, which is to be held in escrow by Tenant until the Permitting Contingency has been satisfied or waived in writing at which point Tenant may record the same with the
Middlesex South Registry District of the Land Court, and (b) Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver a Notice of Termination of Lease in Tenant’s name in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, which is to be held in escrow by Landlord until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
28. Expansion Premises Yield-Up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.1.9 of the Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation at the end of the Term to remove Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work or Tenant’s Work made in accordance with the Final Plans, except that Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Equipment (unless at the time of review of Tenant’s Plans, Landlord advised Tenant that any Rooftop Equipment and/or ground-mounted is not required to be removed at the end of the Term). Any ground-mounted equipment approved by Landlord, such as a generator and associated fuel tank, shall be removed from the Property at the end of the Term (and any damage caused by removal shall be repaired by Tenant), unless Landlord informs Tenant at the time Landlord reviewed the plans therefor, that such equipment is not required to be removed at the end of the Term. However, Tenant shall be required to cap off all shafts and ductwork in the Expansion Premises. In addition to compliance with the yield-up requirements in Section 6.1.9 of the Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to perform all facility decommissioning work and surrender the Expansion Premises in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 24(i) of this Amendment. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 28 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. In no event shall this Section 28 be construed to diminish or relieve Tenant of its obligations to comply in all respects with the Decommissioning Standards.
29. Guaranty. Tenant’s obligations under the Lease are secured by a Guaranty dated February 14, 2022 executed by Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (“Guarantor”). Guarantor joins in the execution of this Amendment for the purpose of confirming Guarantor’s consent to the terms, agreements and obligations of Tenant set forth herein.
30. Authority. Landlord and Tenant each represent, as to itself, (a) that it is validly existing and in good standing in the state where it was organized, and in good standing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; (b) that it has the authority and capacity to enter into this Amendment and perform all of its obligations hereunder; (c) that all necessary action has been taken in order to authorize it to enter into and perform all of its obligations hereunder; (d) that the person executing this Amendment on its behalf is duly authorized to do so.
31. Entire Agreement. This Amendment contains the entire agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter hereof. There are no promises, agreements, conditions, undertakings, warranties or representations, oral or written, express or implied, among them, relating to this subject matter, other than as set forth herein. This Amendment shall be construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.
32. Brokers. Tenant warrants and represents that it has dealt with no broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease, other than [***] (the “Brokers”), and in the event of any brokerage claims, other than by the Brokers against Landlord predicated upon prior dealings with Tenant, Tenant agrees to defend the same and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any such claim.
33. Execution. This Amendment shall not be valid and binding until executed and delivered by Landlord, and may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any facsimile, PDF, or other electronic transmittal of original signature versions of this Amendment shall be considered to have the same legal effect as execution and delivery of the original document and shall be treated in all manner and respects as the original document. Execution of this Amendment by means of DocuSign is an acceptable form of execution, valid and binding and having the same legal effect as execution with wet ink signatures and shall be treated in all manner and respects as the original document.
