If the Subleased Premises, or such portion thereof as to render the balance (if reconstructed to the maximum extent practicable in the circumstances) unsuitable for Subtenant’s purposes, shall be taken by condemnation or right of eminent domain, Sublandlord shall have the right to exercise any right of termination under the Master Lease, and shall have the right as a result thereof to cancel and terminate this Sublease, and the exercise of such right by Sublandlord shall not constitute a default or breach hereunder.  In the event of any such damage or condemnation, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to rebuild or restore the Subleased Premises or the Building; provided, however, if such repair work is not complete by the Outside Date (as defined in the Master Lease), Subtenant shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by written notice of termination to Sublandlord within ninety (90) days of the Outside Date.  If Sublandlord receives an abatement of fixed rent and/or any additional rent payable under the Master Lease as a result of a casualty or condemnation of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall be entitled to receive a corresponding abatement of Base Rent and/or other rent hereunder proportionate to the abatement of total rent payable by Sublandlord as Subtenant under the Master Lease, to the extent such abatement relates to the Subleased Premises.

DMEAST #35029637 v1011


 

 

consent of Sublandlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the prior written consent of Master Landlord if and to the extent required under the Master Lease, or (B) sublet all or any part of the Subleased Premises or permit or suffer any person or entity to use or occupy all or any part of the Subleased Premises without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the prior written consent of Master Landlord if and to the extent required under the Master Lease.  

 

(ii) Notwithstanding the terms of Paragraph 6(f)(1) of this Sublease, Subtenant shall have the right to assign this Sublease or sublet all or a portion of the Subleased Premises, without Sublandlord’s consent, but with written notice to Sublandlord, to an Affiliate (as defined below), or in connection with a merger, consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Subtenant (including, the sale of all of the stock, membership interests, and/or partnership interests of Subtenant) (“Permitted Transferee”), provided that such proposed sublease or assignment shall be subject to, and shall comply in all respects with this Sublease and the Master Lease.  As used herein, the term “Affiliate” shall mean an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the entity in question, where the term “control” means ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the ownership interests in the entity in question and the ability to control the management and operation of the entity in question. 

 

(iii) Notwithstanding the terms of Paragraph 6(f)(1), subject to the prior approval of Sublandlord, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the prior approval of Master Landlord, to the extent required under the Master Lease, Subtenant may assign or sublet all or a portion of the Subleased Premises from time to time during the term of this Sublease, provided that same are used in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4(a).

(v) Subtenant agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sublandlord in connection with any assignment or further subletting, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any charges or fees payable to Master Landlord.  Subtenant shall provide to Sublandlord and Master Landlord all information and shall comply with all procedures required by the Master Lease in connection with such proposed assignment or further subletting.

 

(g) Master Landlord Default

 

(i) Sublandlord shall not be liable for any losses or damages incurred by Subtenant due to the failure of operation of the heating, cooling or other utility equipment or failure by Master Landlord to furnish any of the services, facilities, repairs or utilities to be provided under the Master Lease due to the necessity of repair of the same.  If at any time during the Term of this Sublease, Master Landlord shall default in any of its obligations to furnish facilities, services or utilities or to make repairs to the Subleased Premises, then, upon Sublandlord’s receipt of a written notice from Subtenant specifying such default, Sublandlord shall make a demand upon Master Landlord to perform its obligations under the Master Lease.  If

DMEAST #35029637 v1012


 

 

following the making of such demand and the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Master Landlord shall fail to perform its obligations under the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce any obligations of Master Landlord under the Master Lease, provided that Sublandlord shall not be required to withhold rent or institute any legal action or proceedings against Master Landlord unless Sublandlord, in its sole discretion, determines that such action would be appropriate under the circumstances. To the extent the Master Lease allows Sublandlord to exercise self-help rights and a reasonable basis exists for Subtenant to request that Sublandlord exercise such rights, Sublandlord shall exercise such rights, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, upon Subtenant’s written request.

 

(ii) Subtenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or other adjustment of the Rent payable under this Sublease as the result of the failure, interruption, diminution, or other impairment of any repairs, maintenance or services to be provided by Master Landlord under the Master Lease except if and to the extent Sublandlord receives an abatement or adjustment as tenant under the Master Lease for such failure, interruption, diminution or impairment which is also applicable to the Subleased Premises for the corresponding period of time.  If Sublandlord shall receive such an abatement or adjustment, Subtenant shall similarly receive its prorated portion of such abatement or adjustment of its corresponding obligation as applicable to the Subleased Premises for the corresponding period of time, such proration to take into account the extent to which the failure, interruption, diminution or other impairment impacts the Subleased Premises in relation to its impact on the remainder of the Sublandlord’s Premises. 

 

(h) Services by Sublandlord.

 

(i) Subtenant agrees and acknowledges that Sublandlord is not in control of the structural repairs to the Building.  Subtenant will notify Sublandlord of any defective condition of the structural portions of the Building within the Subleased Premises of which Subtenant is aware, and Sublandlord shall promptly notify Master Landlord of any such conditions.  Sublandlord agrees to deliver such notification to Master Landlord promptly after its receipt and thereafter make good faith efforts to have Master Landlord correct the defective condition.  Sublandlord and Sublandlord Parties shall not be liable to Subtenant or Subtenant Parties for any damage, compensation or claim arising out of or related to the termination of this Sublease by reason of the destruction of the Subleased Premises, or from any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance and/or any other casualty, or from any leakage in any part or portion of the Building, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into or flow from any part of the Building, or from any other cause whatsoever, unless occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, its agents, contractors and employees.  If any public utility or governmental body shall require Sublandlord or Subtenant to restrict the consumption of any utility or reduce any service to the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall comply with such requirements, without any abatement or reduction of the Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sums payable by Subtenant hereunder.  Any goods, property or personal effects, stored or placed by Subtenant in or about the Subleased Premises shall be at the sole risk of Subtenant, and Sublandlord and Sublandlord Parties shall not in any manner be held responsible therefor, except if such injury or damage results from Sublandlord’s (or its agent’s or affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

 

DMEAST #35029637 v1013


 

 

(ii) Subtenant shall be responsible for and control all Subleased Premises related security and, at Subtenant’s expense, may install additional security features, including, without limitation, a dedicated card access system, a staffed security desk within the Subleased Premises, and security cameras which may be installed inside the Subleased Premises or outside of the Subleased Premises in a location reasonably approved by Sublandlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

If Subtenant delivers to Sublandlord a request that Master Landlord give such consent or approval, then Sublandlord agrees to deliver such request to Master Landlord promptly after its receipt by Sublandlord and thereafter make good faith efforts to obtain Master Landlord’s consent or approval.  If after such delivery of a request for Master Landlord to give its consent or approval, Master Landlord fails or refuses to give such consent or approval, then, regardless of whether the Master Lease provides that such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and/or delayed, provided that Sublandlord has made good faith efforts to obtain such consent or approval, (i) Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant as a result thereof, and (ii) Sublandlord shall have no further obligation to obtain such consent or approval.

Subtenant shall not be obligated to remove any Alterations existing in the Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date. Subtenant shall be required to remove from the Subleased Premises any equipment comprising Subtenant’s voice, or data systems, including associated wires, wiring trays and other equipment, materials and facilities (collectively, “Subtenant’s Data Systems”), whether located in the ceiling, floor and/or walls regardless of whether Sublandlord or Subtenant installed and/or paid for the installation of such systems; provided, however, to the extent Master Landlord and Sublandlord do not require removal of all or any portion of Subtenant’s Data Systems and restoration of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant may, at its option, elect to not remove the same at the end of the Term.

 

(c) Sublandlord hereby consents to Subtenant’s performance of the modifications to the Subleased Premises described in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C (collectively, “Subtenant Improvements”); provided that, the work is performed in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and this Sublease.

Subtenant shall be required to remove any of the Subtenant Improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Sublease; provided, however, to the extent Master Landlord does not require such removal and restoration, Subtenant may, at its option, elect to not remove such Subtenant Improvement.  Sublandlord shall promptly notify Subtenant if and when Sublandlord receives notice that Master Landlord requires any Alterations, including without limitation the Subtenant Improvements, to be removed at the end of the Term.

 

DMEAST #35029637 v1015


 

 

11. Parking.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall have the right to use one hundred fifty (150) unreserved parking spaces on the Property. Subtenant shall have no right to any reserved parking spaces. 

 

12. Subordination

 

(a) This Sublease and the term and estate hereby granted are and shall be subject and subordinate to (i) the lien of each mortgage, deed of trust, security interest or other financing arrangements which at any time hereafter affect the Subleased Premises or Master Landlord’s or Sublandlord’s interest therein, (iii) any ground leases and (iv) all extensions, modifications or amendments to the foregoing.  The foregoing provision for the subordination of this Sublease and the term and estate hereby granted shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect any such subordination; but Subtenant shall, however, within twenty (20) days after written request by Sublandlord, execute and deliver any reasonable instruments that may be necessary or proper to effect such subordination or to confirm or evidence the same, provided such instruments are commercially reasonable in content. 

 

(b) Except as previously disclosed to Subtenant, Sublandlord represents and warrants that there are no other mortgages, deeds of trust, ground leases, installment sale agreements and/or other instruments or encumbrances placed upon any or all of Sublandlord’s interest or estate in the Subleased Premises, including but not limited to the FF&E, as of the execution date of this Sublease.  Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a non-disturbance agreement from Sublandlord’s existing lenders, Oxford Finance LLC and Pacific Western Bank in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Subtenant (the “Non-Disturbance Agreement”).  This Sublease shall have no effect until Oxford Finance LLC and Pacific Western Bank each has delivered the Non-Disturbance Agreement to Subtenant.  If such Non-Disturbance Agreement is not given within sixty (60) days after the date of this Sublease, Subtenant may cancel this Sublease upon fifteen (15) days written notice to Sublandlord (in which event upon cancellation, Sublandlord will return to Subtenant any rent and any security deposit paid to Sublandlord by Subtenant, if any); provided, however, such cancellation shall not be effective if the Non-Disturbance Agreement is obtained prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period.

 

13. Default.

 

(a) In the event of the breach by Subtenant of any of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions or agreements of this Sublease or of the Master Lease (to the extent that such provisions are applicable to Subtenant) which extends beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, except as expressly set forth herein, Sublandlord shall have all the rights of the landlord under the Master Lease in addition to any rights hereunder and Subtenant shall be subject to all provisions thereof respecting the tenant under the Master Lease with respect to any such default.  With respect to any alleged default or breach by Subtenant of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease as incorporated herein, Subtenant shall have the benefit of all notice and cure periods provided to the tenant under the Master Lease.  The failure of Sublandlord to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Sublease, or any of the rules and regulations referred to hereinabove, whether heretofore or hereafter adopted by Sublandlord shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which

DMEAST #35029637 v1016


 

 

would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation.  The receipt by Sublandlord of Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Sublease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.  No provision of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been waived by Sublandlord, unless such waiver is in writing signed by Sublandlord.  No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Sublandlord 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.

 

(b) Sublandlord shall be in default under this Sublease if Sublandlord fails to perform any of Sublandlord’s obligations under this Sublease and the failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Subtenant (except in the case of an emergency or a material interference with Tenant’s right of quiet enjoyment of the Subleased Premises, in which case, Subtenant shall only be required to provide reasonable notice) specifying the default, or if the default is of a nature that it cannot be completely cured within the thirty (30) day period solely as a result of nonfinancial circumstances outside of Sublandlord’s control, if Sublandlord fails to begin curing the default within the thirty (30) day period and fails thereafter to cure the default within the time reasonably necessary to do so.  This Paragraph 13 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease.

 

14. Holding OverNotwithstanding anything contained in the Master Lease to the contrary, for each month or portion thereof Subtenant retains possession of the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof after the expiration or termination of this Sublease without the consent of Sublandlord, Subtenant shall become a month-to-month Subtenant on the terms of the Sublease except that Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the most recent Base Rent pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) hereof and 100% of Additional Rent.  The provisions of this Paragraph shall not constitute a waiver by Sublandlord of any re-entry rights of Sublandlord as provided herein or by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Subtenant retains possession of the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof after the expiration or termination of the Master Lease, and the Sublandlord’s Premises has been fully surrendered to Master Landlord at the expiration or termination of the Master Lease,  Subtenant shall be liable for any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages and demands payable by Sublandlord to Master Landlord under Section 3(d) of the Master Lease (“Holdover Damages”); provided, however, in no event shall Subtenant be liable for any claims or demands made by succeeding tenants founded upon delay in delivery of possession of the Subleased Premises to such succeeding tenant unless Sublandlord has given Subtenant not less than 20 days written notice that there will be a tenant succeeding to the Subleased Premises.  If Subtenant retains possession of the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof after the expiration or termination of this Sublease without the consent of Sublandlord, and Sublandlord or any other subtenant of Sublandlord also retains possession of all or any part of the Sublandlord’s Premises, then Subtenant shall only be liable for Subtenant’s Share of Sublandlord’s Holdover Damages.  This Paragraph 14 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease.

 

15. Maintenance & Repairs.  Subtenant shall keep the Subleased Premises in good repair and condition, and shall comply with all requirements of the Master Lease relating to maintenance, repair and alterations of the Subleased Premises, except for repairs and replacements necessitated by the negligence or intentional acts of Sublandlord, its employees, officers, agents

DMEAST #35029637 v1017


 

 

or contractors, in which case, Sublandlord shall perform such repairs and replacements in a good, workmanlike manner at its sole cost and expense. 

 

16. Surrender of Subleased Premises.  At the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease or Subtenant’s right of possession, Subtenant shall remove all of Subtenant’s personal property from the Subleased Premises, and quit and surrender the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage caused by casualty, Sublandlord or Master Landlord, and any repairs or replacements that are the obligation of Sublandlord or Master Landlord, excepted.  Subtenant shall repair all damages to the Subleased Premises resulting from such removal.  If Subtenant fails to remove any of the Subtenant’s personal property within five (5) business days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease or Subtenant’s right of possession, then Sublandlord, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be entitled to remove Subtenant’s personal property.  Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord, upon demand, the actual, reasonable expenses and charges incurred by Sublandlord to remove Subtenant’s property.  Alternatively, Sublandlord may deem all or any part of Subtenant’s personal property to be abandoned and title to Subtenant’s personal property shall vest in Sublandlord.  Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord, upon demand, the actual, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in disposing of any such property. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, except as provided in Paragraph 2(d), upon expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, the FF&E shall remain at and be surrendered to Sublandlord with the Subleased Premises in the condition required under Section 4(f) of this Sublease.

 

17. Master Landlord Approval.  This Sublease shall have no effect until Master Landlord has delivered to Sublandlord its written consent to this Sublease (“Master Landlord Consent”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord and Subtenant, including commercially reasonable attornment, non-disturbance and recognition provisions, and performance of the terms and provisions on the part of Master Landlord herein required, which consent shall be attached to this Sublease.  Subtenant shall have no right to occupy the Subleased Premises unless and until Master Landlord has given its written consent as provided herein. Sublandlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Master Landlord Consent, which shall include delivering a second request for consent pursuant to Section 7(g) of the Master Lease in the event Master Landlord fails to respond to Sublandlord’s initial request within ten (10) business days.  Subtenant shall furnish all necessary information as may be reasonably required by Master Landlord to consider the application for consent under the provisions of the Master Lease; provided, however, in no event shall Subtenant be obligated to provide Sublandlord or Master Landlord with financial statements or other financial information regarding Subtenant.  If such consent is not given within sixty (60) days after the date of this Sublease, Subtenant may cancel this Sublease upon fifteen (15) days written notice to Sublandlord (in which event upon cancellation, Sublandlord will return to Subtenant any rent and any security deposit paid to Sublandlord by Subtenant, if any); provided, however, such cancellation shall not be effective if the Master Landlord Consent is obtained prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period.

 

18. Apportionment.  If the Term does not commence on the first day of a month or end on the last day of a month, Base Rent and all other charges for such partial month(s) will be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord at the applicable rate on a pro rata basis.

 

DMEAST #35029637 v1018


 

 

19. Amendment or Extension of Master Lease.  Sublandlord shall have the right to modify or amend the Master Lease without the prior written consent of Subtenant (but with written notice to Subtenant), unless such modification or amendment shortens the term of the Master Lease to a term expiring less than six (6) months after the expiration of the second Renewal Term, terminates this Sublease, reduces any rights or services to be provided to Subtenant under this Sublease, increases any financial obligation of Subtenant hereunder, or increases any non-financial obligation of Subtenant hereunder, in which event Subtenant’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such modification or amendment shall be required; and any reference in this Sublease to the Master Lease shall mean the Master Lease as modified or amended from time to time.  

 

20. Governing Law.  Irrespective of the place of execution or performance, this Sublease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Subleased Premises are located.

 

21. Broker.  Sublandlord and Subtenant represent and warrant to each other that neither one has used the services of a real estate broker in connection with this Sublease other than, in each case, JLL – Suburban Philadelphia Area Office (collectively, the “Brokers”).  In the event of a breach of this provision, the breaching party shall indemnify and defend the non-breaching party for all costs, claims, expenses, fees (including reasonable attorney fees) etc. related to a broker’s claim.  Sublandlord shall pay each of the Brokers their commissions pursuant to separate written agreements. 

 

22. Generator.  At no additional cost to Subtenant, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with access to and use of the existing Generator to connect each of the following in or serving the Subleased Premises to the Generator: (a) all IDF closets, and (b) life safety systems. Subtenant shall have the right to install and maintain an additional emergency generator (together with piping, routing, feeders and conduits extending from such generator to the Subleased Premises) or replace the existing Generator, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense. The size, specifications, capacity and location of the additional or replacement generator shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties, and approved by Master Landlord if required under the Master Lease.

In the case of individuals granted access under (B) in the preceding sentence, Master Landlord or Sublandlord shall request escort by telephone by calling Subtenant’s Global Security Command Center at +1 (610) 669-6800 or by email to International_Global_Security@Vanguard.com, within the following time requirements: (1) in any emergency involving the threat of personal injury or significant damage to property at any time and with only as much notice as is reasonably practical under the circumstances in order to notify Subtenant of any intended emergency entry into the Subleased Premises, the nature of the emergency, and the purpose of such entry (which may be no notice, provided that if Sublandlord has not given Subtenant prior notice, it shall give written notice as soon as is reasonably practicable after such emergency entry); only thereafter may Master Landlord or Sublandlord, as the case may be, enter the Subleased Premises by means of a master key (or forcibly, but only if non-forcible entry is not reasonably possible), and, (2) at all other times upon at least 48 hours’ prior written notice  during normal business hours on business days, to examine or inspect the same and to make such repairs, replacements, alterations, improvements, or additions as Master Landlord or Sublandlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to any portion of the Subleased Premises or which Sublandlord is required to make pursuant to this Sublease or for the purpose of complying with laws, regulations and other directions of governmental authorities, or for any purposes permitted under Section 12 of the Master Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Master Landlord has given Subtenant at least 48 hours’ prior written notice in accordance with clause (2) of this subsection and a representative of Subtenant is not available to escort Master Landlord at the time scheduled for Master Landlord’s access, Master Landlord shall provide a second notice to Subtenant via telephone by calling Subtenant’s Global Security Command Center at +1 (610) 669-6800 and if and only if Subtenant does not provide a representative to escort Master Landlord within one (1) hour of such second notice, then Master Landlord may enter the Subleased Premises by means of a master key. Any employees or contractors of Master Landlord who have been successfully screened in accordance with Paragraph 23(m) below and are providing

DMEAST #35029637 v1021


 

 

after-hours services to the Subleased Premises shall be granted security access cards which may be used for such use.

 

(ii) Subtenant shall have the right, throughout the Term upon written notice to Master Landlord and Sublandlord, to establish within the Subleased Premises secure “Limited Access Areas”, in which Confidential Information may be located or stored. Subtenant will clearly identify and mark such Limited Access Areas on a plan of the Subleased Premises or on the entrance to such areas.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, any entry into Limited Access Areas shall be in compliance with Subtenant’s practices from time to time established with respect to Limited Access Areas, and limited to persons who (A) have been issued a security access card by Subtenant pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 23(m) of this Sublease and  have been deemed by Subtenant to have a business need for access such Limited Access Areas, or (B) are accompanied within the Limited Access Areas at all times by a representative of Subtenant, which will be provided by Subtenant upon at least 48 hours’ prior written notice by email to International_Global_Security@Vanguard.com.  Notwithstanding the immediately foregoing, in the event Master Landlord has given Subtenant at least 48 hours’ prior written notice in accordance with clause (B) of this subsection and a representative of Subtenant is not available to escort Master Landlord at the time scheduled for Master Landlord’s access, Master Landlord shall provide a second notice to Subtenant via telephone by calling Subtenant’s Global Security Command Center at +1 (610) 669-6800 and if and only if Subtenant does not provide a representative to escort Master Landlord within one (1) hour of such second notice, then Master Landlord may enter the Limited Access Areas by means of a master key. Further, if a representative of Subtenant shall not be present to open and permit entry into the Limited Access Areas at any time when such entry by Master Landlord  or Sublandlord is necessary in an emergency involving the threat of personal injury or significant damage to property,  Master Landlord, Sublandlord and/or their respective employee(s) and agent(s) so entering the Limited Access Areas shall first contact Subtenant’s security personnel at (610) 669-6800, or any other telephone number provided by Subtenant to Master Landlord and Sublandlord from time to time in writing, if prior notice of such emergency entry is reasonably practical under the circumstances, in order to notify Subtenant of any intended emergency entry into the Subleased Premises, the nature of the emergency, and the purpose of such entry; only thereafter may Master Landlord, Sublandlord and/or their respective employee(s) and agent(s) enter the Limited Access Areas by means of a master key (or forcibly, but only if non-forcible entry is not reasonably possible) without liability to Subtenant and without such entry constituting an eviction of Subtenant or termination of this Sublease; provided, however, if prior notice of such emergency entry is not reasonably practical under the circumstances, Master Landlord or Sublandlord, as the case may be, shall provide written notice to Subtenant as soon as is reasonably practicable after such emergency entry.  Master Landlord and Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the Limited Access Areas in the event of entry during an emergency. If Subtenant desires the Limited Access Areas to be cleaned by Master Landlord, Subtenant shall provide clear, written instructions with respect to such access and cleaning requirements.

 

(i) Subtenant’s Failure to Perform Maintenance or Repairs.  In the event Subtenant fails to perform any maintenance or repairs to the Subleased Premises required to be made by Subtenant pursuant to this Sublease or the Master Lease, Sublandlord may elect to perform such repairs following Subtenant’s failure within three (3) business days following notice

DMEAST #35029637 v1022


 

 

to Subtenant of its failure to make repairs or perform any work which Subtenant is obligated to perform under this Sublease.  Subject to the terms of this Sublease, Subtenant shall permit Sublandlord to use, repair, maintain and replace pipes, ducts, wires, conduits and appurtenant fixtures in and through the Subleased Premises and to erect or install new pipes, ducts, wires, conduits and appurtenant fixtures therein.  Sublandlord may, during the progress of any work in the Subleased Premises, take all reasonably necessary materials and equipment into the Subleased Premises without the same constituting an eviction nor shall Subtenant be entitled to any abatement of rent while such work is in progress nor to any damages by reason of loss or interruption of business; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with Subtenant’s operations.  If, after giving the notice, if any, required above, Subtenant is not present to open and permit an entry into the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord or Sublandlord’s agent may enter the same by master key or otherwise whenever such entry may be necessary in the event of emergency (after trying to give written or oral notice to Subtenant), and provided reasonable care is exercised to safeguard Subtenant’s property, and such entry shall not render Sublandlord or its agent liable therefor, nor in any event shall the obligations of Subtenant hereunder be affected.  In exercising its rights hereunder, Sublandlord shall make a good faith effort to avoid disruption of Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises and to not enter the Subleased Premises unescorted by Subtenant personnel. 

 

(j) Successors and Assigns.  This Sublease shall apply to all respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto, but this Paragraph shall not be construed as a consent to any assignment or subletting by Subtenant.  In the event of a sale of the Building, Master Landlord shall be relieved of all covenants and obligations arising after the date of the Transfer.  In the event of Sublandlord assignment of the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall be relieved of all covenants and obligations hereunder arising after the date of such assignment.

(k) Signatures.  This Sublease may be executed in any number of counterparts, and it shall be sufficient that the signature of each party appear on one or more such counterparts.  All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement.  Signatures transmitted by e-mail or facsimile shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes of this Sublease.

(l) No Publication of Trademarks, Trade Names, and Publicity.    Except as is reasonably necessary to perform its obligations hereunder, Master Landlord and Sublandlord agree not to use the name(s), trademarks, trade names, service marks, and other marks (collectively, “Marks”) of Subtenant, whether registered or not, in publicity releases or advertising or in any other manner, including company lists, marketing lists or client lists, without securing the prior written approval of a director of real estate, a managing director or higher ranking officer of Subtenant.  Further, Master Landlord and Sublandlord shall not provide any Subtenant contact or key person information to any Affiliate of Master Landlord or Sublandlord or any third party, unless Subtenant has approved such in advance.  Master Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that due to the unique nature of the trademarks, trade names, service marks and other marks of Subtenant, there may be no adequate remedy at law for a breach of the obligations under this Paragraph and that such breach may cause irreparable harm to Subtenant.  Upon any such breach or any threat thereof, Subtenant shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies it may have at law.  The provision of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a potential sale or financing of the Property, Master Landlord may

DMEAST #35029637 v1023


 

 

disclose the existence of The Vanguard Group, Inc.’s tenancy under this Sublease to a bona fide lender or purchaser; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of this Sublease shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Sublease and the Master Landlord Consent.

(m) Criminal Background Investigation. 

(i) In connection with the issuance of access to the Subleased Premises by Master Landlord, Sublandlord or their respective employees, agents and contractors, Subtenant may, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, conduct a criminal background investigation (an “Investigation”) of any or all personnel employed by Master Landlord, Sublandlord or by any Contractor (“On-Premises Personnel”) who will be issued an access to determine whether such individuals have ever committed a Criminal Offense.  Master Landlord and Sublandlord will provide reasonable cooperation and information to Subtenant, at Subtenant’s request, in connection with Subtenant’s performance of any such Investigation, provided that supplying such cooperation and information does not violate any applicable law, rule, or regulation.

(ii) At the request of Master Landlord or Sublandlord, individuals not determined by Subtenant to be Excluded Persons (hereinafter defined) may be granted unescorted entry to the Subleased Premises.  Individuals who do not pass Subtenant’s background checks shall be deemed Excluded Persons and shall not be issued unescorted entry to the Subleased Premises.

(iii) For purposes of this Paragraph, (i) “Criminal Offense” means any felony or misdemeanor offense based on dishonesty and/or of a monetary or financial nature, including, but not limited to, theft, fraud (credit card, bad checks or otherwise), shoplifting, forgery, counterfeiting, embezzlement, or any other misdemeanor or felony conviction related to their employment duties, and (ii) a “Contractor” means a self-employed individual, independent contractor or person employed by any vendor, agent or subcontractor retained by or under contract with, Master Landlord or Sublandlord who will or may provide services on behalf of Master Landlord or Sublandlord within the Subleased Premises for ten (10) or more consecutive business days, or for fifteen (15) or more non-consecutive business days, within any given twelve (12) month period.

Master Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that any criminal conviction records or other information obtained from conducting an Investigation shall be deemed confidential and shall be handled, and maintained as if part of a confidential personnel file and as required by law, and such information shall be used solely for the purposes of approving or disapproving the assignment of any On-Premises Personnel to perform services within the Subleased Premises. Pursuant to a written request from Subtenant, and to the extent permitted by Law, Master Landlord or Sublandlord shall immediately replace, or arrange for the replacement of, any Contractor or On-Premises Personnel who has been convicted of any Criminal Offense, and any such person shall thereafter be deemed an Excluded Person. Master Landlord and Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend and save Subtenant and Subtenant’s officers, directors, and employees, and each of their respective heirs, successors and assigns, harmless from any and all legal action, damages, loss, liabilities, and cost and expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) relating to, pertaining to, or arising from Sublandlord failing to handle and maintain any confidential information as provided in this Paragraph.  Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and save Master
