Seller shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days without Buyer’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) for the purpose of the removal of any Required Clearance Exceptions or other Title Objections, which removal will be deemed effected by the issuance of title insurance eliminating or insuring against the effect of any such Title Objections. To the extent that the same do not constitute Required Clearance Exceptions, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of Title Objections (“Seller’s Response Period”) whether Seller elects to remove the same. If Seller is unable to remove or endorse over any Required Clearance Exceptions or other Title Objections prior to the Closing, or if Seller elects not to remove or endorse over one or more Title Objections, Buyer may elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement in its entirety by notice given to Seller (1) on the Closing Date if Seller is unable to remove or endorse over any such Title Objections, or (2) within three (3) business days after notice from Seller of its election not to remove or endorse over any such Title Objections (“Buyer’s Response Period”), and in either event the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer, and thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive such Title Objections, in which event such Title Objections shall be deemed additional “Permitted Exceptions” and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase




Price. The Closing Date shall be postponed to allow Seller’s Response Period and Buyer’s Response Period to fully run.
4.1.2

4.2
Title Insurance. At Closing, Buyer shall cause the Title Company to issue to Buyer an owner’s form title insurance policy in the form that is customary in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the amount of the Purchase Price (collectively, the “Owner’s Title Policy”), insuring as of the date and time of Closing that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions(excluding any Required Clearance Exceptions matters and other matters that may be agreed, in Seller’s sole discretion, to be removed by Seller). Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide endorsements or amendments to the Owner’s Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided (a) such endorsements or amendments shall be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, Seller, and (b) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain such endorsements or amendments and, if Buyer is unable to obtain such endorsements or amendments, Buyer shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to close the Transaction without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request.

Seller promptly shall make the Documents available to Buyer during normal business hours for Buyer’s inspection at the Real Property during the Due Diligence Period (and through Closing if this Agreement has not been terminated by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period). Upon reasonable prior notice from Buyer, Seller shall allow Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives reasonable access to the Real Property during the Due Diligence Period (and through Closing if this Agreement has not been terminated by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period) for purposes of non-intrusive inspection of the Real Property. The Property Manager and/or other representatives




of Seller may, at Seller’s election, be present during any inspection of the Real Property by Buyer. Buyer shall not damage the Real Property and shall immediately restore damage caused by Buyer to the Real Property and remove anything placed on the Real Property in connection with its inspection(s). Other than the Property Manager, Buyer and the Buyer’s Representatives shall not interview tenants or personnel at the Project without Seller’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller free and harmless from any loss, injury, damage, claim, lien, violation of Laws, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of Buyer’s Due Diligence, which defense and indemnification obligation shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement; provided, however, Buyer shall have no liability for its mere discovery of a defect at the Property. Seller shall give Buyer written notice of any physical damage to the Property or any claim against Seller resulting from Buyer’s Due Diligence within ten (10) days of Seller’s discovery of such damage. Buyer shall maintain, and shall cause the Buyer’s Representatives to maintain, the confidentiality of the Due Diligence, and, if this Agreement terminates without Closing occurring for any reason, upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall return all originals and copies of any Due Diligence in Buyer’s possession or control. When making any physical or environmental inspection(s) of the Real Property, Buyer shall ensure that it and any of its contractors, employees, agents and invitees carry liability insurance coverage in an amount of not less than Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars, naming Seller and the Property Manager as an additional insured, and shall provide Seller with written evidence of same prior to any such inspection.

BUYER’S BREACH OF THE FOREGOING PROHIBITION SHALL ENTITLE SELLER, AT ITS OPTION, IMMEDIATELY AND WITHOUT ANY CURE PERIOD, TO DECLARE THIS AGREEMENT TO BE TERMINATED AND TO RETAIN SUCH PORTION OF THE DEPOSIT AS IS NECESSARY TO COMPENSATE SELLER FOR ITS ACTUAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH BREACH.
5.2

provided, however, that the release and waiver set forth in this Section 5.4(c) is not intended and shall not be construed to affect or impair any rights or remedies that Buyer may have against Seller as a result of a breach of any of the Seller’s Warranties.
(c)
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Article 5 were a material factor in Seller’s acceptance of the Purchase Price and that while Seller has provided the Documents and cooperated with Buyer, Seller is unwilling to sell the Property unless Seller and the other Seller Parties are expressly released as set forth in Section 5.4(c).

ARTICLE 11    

Intentionally Deleted
ARTICLE 12    

DEFAULT
12.1
Buyer’s Default. If, on or before the Closing Date, (i) Buyer is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Buyer’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, then Seller may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either to (a) terminate this Agreement in its entirety by written notice to Buyer; or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction. If this Agreement is so terminated, then Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages, and thereafter neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein that expressly provides that it survives the termination of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller agree that it would be difficult or impossible to ascertain the actual damages suffered by Seller as a result of any default by Buyer and agree that such liquidated damages are a reasonable estimate of such damages and not a penalty.
12.2
Seller’s Default. If, at the Closing, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, then Buyer may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement in its entirety by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller. As a condition precedent to exercise by Buyer of any right Buyer may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of Seller’s default. Buyer agrees that its failure timely to commence such an action for specific performance within such thirty (30)-day period shall be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of




lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property.
ARTICLE 13    

CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY
13.1
Condemnation.
13.1.1
Right to Terminate. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any significant portion (as hereinafter defined) of the Project is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking in which Seller has been served with legal process, but which has not yet been consummated), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, and, thereafter, either Buyer or Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by giving written notice to other no later than ten (10) days after the giving of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer or Seller to make such election. The failure by Buyer or Seller to so elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10)-day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. For purposes hereof, a “significant portion” of the Project shall mean any interest in the Project except a de minimis interest the taking of which has no material effect on the use or operation of such Project.
13.1.2
Assignment of Proceeds. If Buyer or Seller elects not to terminate this Agreement as permitted in Section 13.1.1, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that, at the Closing, Seller shall pay or credit to Buyer the amount of any award for or other proceeds on account of such condemnation or eminent domain (less all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Seller as of the Closing Date in obtaining payment of such award or proceeds) which have been actually paid to Seller prior to the Closing Date as a result of such condemnation or eminent domain and, to the extent such award or proceeds have not been paid, Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, all awards and proceeds for the condemnation or eminent domain of the Property or such portion thereof.
13.2
Destruction or Damage. In the event any of the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Buyer shall acquire the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or destruction; provided, however, in the event any mortgagee of the Project resolves not to repair or restore the damage or destroyed property, or if (i) the amount of the




damage (as determined by an independent third party contractor or engineer selected by Seller and reasonably approved by Buyer) shall exceed the sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) or (ii) any tenant under any of the Leases has the right to terminate such Lease due to such casualty and such tenant does not waive that right or (iii) the casualty or rent loss is uninsured or underinsured or Seller’s insurance company fails to acknowledge Purchaser in writing as Seller’s assignee of insurance proceeds and/or claims (and Seller elects not to credit Purchaser with any shortfall in such insurance proceeds), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this section, Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days after Seller notifies Buyer that a casualty has occurred to make such election by delivery to Seller of a written election notice (the “Election Notice”), and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to deliver the Election Notice within such thirty (30)-day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. In the event Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement as set forth above, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any and all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or destruction, if any, and credit the Buyer at Closing for the amount of any insurance deductibles.
13.3
Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 13.2, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. Upon such refund, this Agreement shall terminate in its entirety and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
13.4
Waiver. The provisions of this Article 13 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 13.
ARTICLE 14    

Intentionally Deleted
ARTICLE 15    

MISCELLANEOUS
15.1
Assignment. Seller may assign this Agreement and Seller’s rights hereunder to any affiliate. Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, provided, however, if Buyer notifies Seller prior to the Closing, Buyer may assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to a newly formed entity that Buyer demonstrates to Seller’s reasonable satisfaction, is Controlled by Buyer or its principals or to one or more institutional investors for which Buyer or an entity Controlled by Buyer is then acting as investment manager, including without limitation, RREEF Property Trust. Any assignment by Buyer to an entity not Controlled by Buyer or not otherwise approved by Seller shall be null and void ab initio. In the event of any permitted




assignment by Buyer, any assignee shall assume any and all obligations and liabilities of Buyer under this Agreement but, notwithstanding such assumption, Buyer shall continue to be liable hereunder. As used herein, the term “Controlled” means the ownership of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of an entity and the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies or activities of a person or entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly:
(a)
Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction.
(b)
Seller and Buyer shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction.
(c)
Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by law.
(d)
Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.
15.3
Survival/Merger. Except for the provisions of this Agreement which are explicitly stated to survive the Closing, (a) none of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and (b) the delivery of the Deed and any other documents and instruments by Seller and the acceptance thereof by Buyer shall effect a merger, and be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Buyer and Seller to be performed hereunder.
15.4
Integration; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto, embodies and constitutes the entire understanding among the parties with respect to the Transaction and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge




or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument. No waiver by any party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.
15.5
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
15.6
Captions Not Binding; Exhibits. The captions in this Agreement are inserted for reference only and in no way define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or of any of the provisions hereof.

15.7
Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
15.8
Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Laws.
15.9
Notices. Any notice, request, demand, consent, approval and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed duly given or made at the time and on the date when received by successful email (provided that the sender of such communication shall send a copy of such communication to the appropriate parties within one (1) business day of such email by either personal delivery or overnight delivery) or when personally delivered as shown on a receipt therefor (which shall include delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service) or upon receipt (or refusal of delivery) after being mailed by prepaid certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address for each party set forth below. Any party, by written notice to the other in the manner herein provided, may designate an address different from that set forth below.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE
BETWEEN
GREATER BOSTON MUSCULOSKELETAL CENTER REAL ESTATE COMPANY, LLC
AND
NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST HOSPITAL

This Third Amendment to Lease (the “Third Amendment”) is entered into as of the 1st day of August 2016 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Greater Boston Musculoskeletal Center Real Estate Company, LLC (“Landlord”) and New England Baptist Hospital (“Tenant”). (Landlord and/or Tenant may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” or, collectively, as the “Parties”.) Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease (defined below), as previously amended.

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are the Parties to a certain lease dated May 30, 2012 (the “Original Lease”) subsequently amended by a First Amendment to Lease dated on or about July ___, 2013 (the “First Amendment”) and further amended by a Second Amendment to Lease dated January 27, 2014 (the “Second Amendment”) (The Original Lease, First Amendment and Second Amendment are collectively referred to herein as the “Lease”.); and
    
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to further amend the Lease as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and for further good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree to further amend the Lease as follows:


1.
Amendments to Specific Existing Lease Provisions.     As of the Effective Date, the Parties hereby agree to the following:

(a)
Basic Rent. The “Basic Rent” as defined in Section 1.1 of the Original Lease is hereby amended to set forth the following definition:

“Basic Rent: Twenty-Eight Dollars ($28.00) per square foot of the Premises. Effective August 1, 2016 (the “First Adjustment Date”), Basic Rent shall increase by 3.5% to $28.98 per square foot of the Premises.

In addition, Basic Rent shall be adjusted on each three (3) year anniversary of the First Adjustment Date (except as provided hereinbelow with respect to each “Extended Term”) by an amount equal to the CPI Adjustment for the applicable period, provided however, that Basic Rent for any Adjustment Period shall not exceed 112% of the Basic Rent per square foot in effect (determined without




reference to any abatement or credit, which may then be in effect) immediately prior to the applicable Adjustment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Tenant exercises one or both of its options to extend described in Section 2.3 below, then the Basic Rent for the first thirty-six (36) months of the applicable Extended Term shall be the Basic Rent determined as provided in Section 2.3(b) below and thereafter there shall only be one Adjustment Period with respect to each Extended Term which shall establish the Basic Rent for the period from and after the thirty-seventh (37th) month of the applicable Extended Term through the expiration of the applicable Extended Term.”

(b)
Adjustment Period. The “Adjustment Period” as defined in Section 1.1 of the Original Lease is hereby amended to set forth the following definition:

“Adjustment Period: Commencing on the First Adjustment Date, each three (3) year period during the remainder of the Term, provided however, that the Adjustment Period for any Extended Term shall begin on the first day of the applicable Extended Term and shall end on the third anniversary thereof.”

(c)
Premises Rentable Area. The “Premises Rentable Area” as defined in Section 1.1 of the Original Lease and previously amended by Paragraph 1(b) of the Second Amendment is hereby increased by 6,636 square feet from 47,309 square feet to 53,946 square feet and shall now include the areas on the first floor of the Building labeled “Available Shell” on the diagram attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(d)
Tenant’s Proportionate Share. The Tenant’s Proportionate Share in Section 1.1 of the Original Lease and previously amended by Paragraph 1(c) of the Second Amendment to 73.77% is hereby increased to 84.12%.

(e)
Permitted Use. The Tenant’s Permitted Use in Section 1.1 of the Original Lease is hereby amended by adding the following to the end of the last sentence of the definition:

“; provided, however, Tenant’s performance of ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal procedures shall not constitute advanced imaging and does not require such prior written consent.”

(f)
Tenant Generator. There is added to Section 2.2 of the Lease the following subsection (e):

“(e) Tenant has installed an emergency back-up generator and housing (the “Generator”) to serve the Premises and Common Facilities of the Building. The Generator is located on a concrete pad constructed by Tenant (the “Pad”) in the location shown on Exhibit B attached hereto. As appurtenant to the Premises, subject to compliance with all applicable Laws and governmental approvals,




including the procurement of all necessary permits and licenses, Tenant shall, at no additional charge, continue to maintain and use the Generator during the Term.  The Pad shall be deemed to be part of the Premises under the terms of the Lease for purposes of Tenant’s indemnity, insurance and other obligations, other than the obligation to pay Rent and except that the use made of the Pad shall only be for the installation, maintenance and removal, if required, of the Generator.   Tenant must obtain the prior approval of Landlord for the relocation or replacement of the Generator, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All costs of installation, replacement, relocation (which cost and expense shall include, but shall not be limited to, the cost to install the Pad, the cost of any required screening and the cost of tying into the Building systems), maintenance and removal, if required, and any required repairs to the Building due to such removal, shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall maintain the Generator and Pad in good order and repair (reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted) and in compliance with all applicable Laws throughout the Term. Any fuel associated with the operation of the Generator must be stored, transported and disposed of in accordance with all applicable Laws. Tenant shall perform or cause to be performed regular maintenance and testing of the Generator in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and the minimum requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all maintenance and testing reports once per month throughout the Term of the Lease. If Tenant fails to provide such monthly report, said failure shall not be an Event of Default, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of such failure and Tenant shall have five (5) business days after the receipt of such notice to deliver the requested reports to Landlord (the “Five Day Period”). The failure to deliver such reports to Landlord before the expiration of the Five Day Period shall constitute an Event of Default. At the expiration of the Term, title to the Generator and Pad shall automatically be transferred to Landlord for no additional consideration and the Generator and Pad shall remain in their then location and not be removed by Tenant. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute a bill of sale in favor of Landlord to evidence said transfer.   If the Generator is materially damaged, destroyed, no longer capable of being repaired to operate at peak efficiency or has reached the end of its useful life, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense and in consultation with Landlord, replace the Generator with one having the capacity to serve the Premises and the Common Facilities of the Building to the fullest extent required by all applicable Laws. In the event Tenant fails to perform any obligations with respect to the Generator or Pad, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform on Tenant's behalf and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable costs incurred in connection therewith as Additional Rent hereunder, which reimbursement obligations shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. If Tenant fails to reimburse as aforesaid within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor, Landlord shall be entitled to deduct such amount from the Security Deposit, and Tenant shall be obligated to replenish said Security




Deposit within seven (7) days thereafter. The restoration of the Generator and Pad following a casualty or condemnation shall be the responsibility of Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.”

(g)
Landlord’s Common Facilities Management. There is added to Article 7 of the Lease the following Section 7.7.

“7.7 Landlord’s Common Facilities Management. Landlord’s management of the Common Facilities shall be provided by a major, reputable national or regional management company that shall be subject to the written approval of Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.”

(h)
Exclusive Rights. There is added to the Lease the following new Article 17.

“ARTICLE 17
TENANT’S EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS

Provided that the Lease is in full force and effect and no default is then occurring and continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, and further provided Tenant leases at least 53,946 square feet in the Building and is operating as a hospital licensed ambulatory surgical center, Landlord, for itself and its successors and assigns, represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that during the Term: (A) it shall not lease to, nor grant its consent to any sublease or assignment of any premises in the Property by, any person or entity (other than Tenant) for any hospital-based practice related to (i) an orthopedic surgical center; (ii) a sports-performance center; (iii) physical therapy or (iv) occupational health (collectively, the “Exclusive Uses”); and (B) in furtherance of the Exclusive Uses, it shall not permit the display anywhere on the Property, including, without limitation, in or on the Building, of any signage, advertising or other indicia of branding of any hospital or medical center other than New England Baptist Hospital or any successor entity (“Exclusive Signage”).  The Exclusive Uses and the Exclusive Signage are collectively referred to as the “Exclusive Rights.”   The Exclusive Rights granted to Tenant in this Article 17 shall inure to the benefit of any Tenant successor, assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and to any subtenant of all or any portion of the Premises. Tenant agrees that the Exclusive Rights granted herein are subject to the permitted use rights of other tenants under the leases existing as of the Effective Date of this Third Amendment (collectively, the “Existing Leases”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not grant its consent to a change of any permitted use right under any Existing Lease that would violate the Exclusive Uses granted hereunder, where Landlord’s consent for such change in use is required under the terms of such Existing Lease.





Upon any breach of the Exclusive Rights by Landlord, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to stop the applicable tenant’s continued operation in violation of Tenant’s Exclusive Rights. If Landlord is unable to cure such breach within thirty (30) business days from the date Landlord receives written notice from Tenant that Tenant’s Exclusive Rights have been violated, Tenant shall have all remedies available to it at law and in equity, including, without limitation, the right to obtain injunctive relief, and/or to commence and prosecute an action against Landlord for damages, including, without limitation, consequential damages (notwithstanding Section 15.7 of the Original Lease).  Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the Exclusive Rights are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Tenant and that any violation thereof would result in irreparable injury to Tenant and would entitle Tenant to injunctive relief. 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be considered to be in violation of this Article 17 if a tenant or occupant in the Building acts as a “Renegade Tenant” (which is defined as another tenant or occupant within the Building who violates Tenant’s Exclusive Rights and such tenant’s lease or occupancy agreement would not allow such violation without Landlord’s consent). In such event, upon receipt of notice from Tenant advising Landlord of such violation, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to stop the Renegade Tenant’s continued operation in violation of Tenant’s Exclusive Rights; provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation to commence legal proceedings against such Renegade Tenant. If such Renegade Tenant continues to operate in violation of Tenant’s Exclusive Rights thirty (30) business days after Tenant first notifies Landlord of such violation, then Tenant shall have the right (a) to conduct and prosecute appropriate legal proceedings against such Renegade Tenant (including, without limitation, an action for injunctive relief) in Tenant’s own name, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,  or (b) in the event the right set forth in (a) above is not permitted to be exercised under applicable Laws, then to conduct and prosecute such legal proceedings in the name of Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant with respect to such prosecution (including, without limitation, by executing any documentation or authorization reasonably required by Tenant in connection with such prosecution and by appearing at any hearing or trial with respect to such prosecution); provided, however, all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord to provide such cooperation shall be reimbursed by Tenant.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate the lease of or dispossess or evict any tenant violating Tenant’s Exclusive Rights.

The provisions of this Article 17 shall survive the expiration of the Term of this Lease.”





(i)
Tenant’s Rights of First Offer to Purchase. There is added to the Lease the following new Article 18.

“ARTICLE 18
TENANT’S RIGHTS OF FIRST OFFER TO PURCHASE

As used herein, the term “Property” shall mean all of the Property or such applicable portion as Landlord is proposing to sell, transfer or convey.  So long as (a) Tenant leases at least 53,946 square feet in the Building, (b) no Event of Default has occurred either at or prior to the time of the Sale Notice (as hereinafter defined) or at or prior to the time of Tenant’s response thereto, and (c) this Lease is in full force and effect, if at any time during the Term Landlord shall desire to sell the Property, Landlord shall first give written notice of such intent to Tenant (“Sale Notice”). Tenant shall then have the exclusive right to offer to purchase the Property by notifying Landlord in writing of such desire not later than twenty-five (25) days after Tenant's receipt of the Sale Notice. Tenant’s response (“Offer”) shall include the all-cash purchase price, inspection and other contingency periods, closing date, place of closing and any other material terms of the proposed purchase. If Tenant timely delivers the Offer to Landlord, Landlord shall advise Tenant whether it accepts the proposed terms set forth in Tenant’s Offer by written notice given to Tenant with ten (10) business days following Landlord’s receipt of the Offer, and the parties shall enter into a Purchase Contract as described below. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to accept Tenant’s Offer. If Tenant does not timely deliver the Offer, then Landlord shall be free to sell the Property to a third-party person or entity on such terms and conditions as Landlord may elect, and upon such sale to a third party, the terms of this Article 18 of this Lease shall automatically terminate and be of no force and effect.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary:

(1)Landlord may sell all or any portion of the fee interest in the Property without necessity of complying with the provisions of this Article 18 in connection with any bona fide corporate dissolution, reorganization or transfer to an affiliate of Landlord, or in connection with any transfer of shares of stock or membership interest to an existing or new shareholder/member, provided that the transferee in any such transaction shall hold title to the Property subject to Tenant's rights under this Article 18.

(2)Nothing in this Article 18 shall be construed as a prohibition against or limitation on Landlord's right to (i) make a collateral or actual assignment of rents in connection with any financing arrangement Landlord may enter into in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or (ii) the granting of a mortgage encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or (iii) the sale and subsequent leaseback by Landlord of its interest in the Property or any portion thereof provided that such sale and subsequent leaseback is done




for financing purposes; Tenant acknowledging and agreeing that Landlord shall not be required to afford Tenant the opportunity to purchase the fee interest in the Property prior to making any such assignment, granting any such mortgage or consummating any such sale and subsequent leaseback; provided that the transferee in any such transaction shall hold title to the Property subject to Tenant's rights under this Article 18.

(3)Nothing in this Article 18 shall be construed as a prohibition against or limitation on Landlord's right to convey (i) all or any portion of the Property to a governmental authority in lieu of (or under threat of) condemnation and such transferred or condemned property shall no longer be subject to Tenant’s rights under this Article 18 or (ii) the Property to a third party if the sale of the Property is part of a portfolio of properties being sold by Landlord (or a party controlling or controlled by Landlord) and after such portfolio sale, the Property shall no longer be subject to Tenant’s rights under this Article 18.   

If Landlord accepts the Offer, the parties shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement consistent with the terms set forth in the Offer and the terms and conditions contained in the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated in August, 2016 between Greater Boston Musculoskeletal Center Real Estate Company, LLC and RREEF America L.L.C. (as modified by the terms set forth in the Offer and as further modified to reflect any non-applicable provisions or provisions special or unique to seller) within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s acceptance of Tenant’s Offer (the “Purchase Contract”).

In the event that Tenant does not enter into a Purchase Contract within the required time period or does not purchase the Property pursuant to the Purchase Contract for any reason other than Landlord's failure to sell the Property to Tenant as required under the Purchase Contract, then Tenant's rights under this Article 18  shall terminate and this Article 18 shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, which termination shall be Landlord’s sole and exclusive remedy for any such breach by Tenant (except as expressly provided in the Purchase Contract, if so executed).

The rights granted to Tenant under this Article 18 are personal to New England Baptist Hospital, may not be exercised by any party other than New England Baptist Hospital and shall be of no further force and effect upon the assignment of the Lease (by operation of law or otherwise) by New England Baptist Hospital.





Time is of the essence with respect to all of the terms and provisions of this Article 18.”

2.
TI Improvement Allowance. Consistent with the tenant improvement allowances granted by Landlord to other tenants, Landlord hereby agrees that on the closing date of the sale of the Property by Greater Boston Musculoskeletal Center Real Estate Company, LLC (“GBMCREC”) to an unaffiliated third party, GBMCREC agrees to pay to Tenant from the sales proceeds a one-time leasehold improvement allowance (the “TI Allowance”) in the amount of $75.00 per square foot with respect to the 16,000 square feet of space that Tenant leases on the first floor of the Building for a total TI Allowance of $1,200,000 and Tenant shall execute a written certification at such closing to the purchaser confirming the amount owed, and the Tenant’s wire instructions for payment by GBMCREC.

3.
Possible Inclusion of Space Currently Leased by Orthopedics New England, Inc. In the event that Orthopedics New England, Inc. (“ONE”) does not timely exercise its option to extend the term of its lease (the “ONE Lease”) for 1,372 square feet of space on the first floor of the Building (such space, the “ONE Space”) beyond July 31, 2018 in accordance with Section 2.3 of the ONE Lease, Tenant agrees that effective as of August 1, 2018 the ONE Space shall be added to the Tenant’s Premises upon all terms and conditions of the Lease (including without limitation, Basic Rent) for the remainder of the Term of the Lease with all applicable adjustments, including but not limited to an adjustment to Tenant’s Proportionate Share, to be memorialized in a subsequent amendment to Tenant’s Lease.

4.
Ratification of Lease. Except as amended hereby, the terms and conditions of the Lease are hereby affirmed and ratified. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Lease.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE
BETWEEN
GREATER BOSTON MUSCULOSKELETAL CENTER REAL ESTATE COMPANY, LLC
AND
MASSACHUSETTS BAY REGIONAL MRI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

This Third Amendment to Lease (the “Third Amendment”) is entered into as of the 1st day of August 2016 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Greater Boston Musculoskeletal Center Real Estate Company, LLC (“Landlord”) and Massachusetts Bay Regional MRI Limited Partnership (“Tenant”). (Landlord and/or Tenant may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” or, collectively, as the “Parties”.) Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease (defined below), as previously amended.

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are the Parties to a certain lease dated June 1, 2012 (the “Original Lease”) subsequently amended by a First Amendment to Lease dated “as of the ___ of July ___, 2013” (the “First Amendment”) and further amended by a Second Amendment to Lease dated January 27, 2014 (the “Second Amendment”) (The Original Lease, First Amendment and Second Amendment are collectively referred to herein as the “Lease”.); and
    
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to further amend the Lease as set forth below.


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and for further good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree to further amend the Lease as follows:

8.
Amendments to Specific Lease Provisions.     As of the Effective Date, the Parties hereby agree to the following:

(a)
Basic Rent. The “Basic Rent” as defined in Article 1.1 of the Original Lease is hereby amended to set forth the following definition:

“Basic Rent: Twenty-Eight Dollars ($28.00) per square foot of the Premises. Effective August 1, 2016 (the “First Adjustment Date”), Basic Rent shall increase by 3.5% to $28.98 per square foot of the Premises.

In addition, Basic Rent shall be adjusted on each three (3) year anniversary of the First Adjustment Date (except as provided hereinbelow with respect to each “Extended Term”) by an amount equal to the CPI Adjustment for the applicable period, provided however, that Basic Rent for any Adjustment Period shall not exceed 112% of the Basic Rent per square foot in effect (determined without reference to any abatement or credit, which may then be in effect) immediately prior to the applicable Adjustment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Tenant exercises one or both of its options to extend described in




Section 2.3 below, then the Basic Rent for the first thirty-six (36) months of the applicable Extended Term shall be the Basic Rent determined as provided in Section 2.3(b) below and thereafter there shall only be one Adjustment Period with respect to each Extended Term which shall compute the Basic Rent for the period from and after the thirty-seventh (37th) month of the applicable Extended Term through the expiration of the applicable Extended Term.”

(b)
CPI Adjustment. The new term, “CPI Adjustment” and its definition are hereby added to Article 1.1 of the Original Lease as follows:

“CPI Adjustment: An amount equal to the Basic Rent then in effect times the percentage increase, if any, between the Price Index for the month immediately preceding the first month of an applicable Adjustment Period as a starting point and the Price Index for the month immediately preceding the last month of an Adjustment Period as an ending point.”

(c)
Adjustment Period. The new term, “Adjustment Period” and its definition are hereby added to Article 1.1 of the Original Lease as follows:

“Adjustment Period: Commencing on the First Adjustment Date, each three (3) year period during the remainder of the Term, provided however, that the Adjustment Period for any Extended Term shall begin on the first day of the applicable Extended Term and shall end on the third anniversary thereof.”

(d)
Price Index. The new term, “Price Index” and its definition are hereby added to Article 1.1 of the Original Lease as follows:

“Price Index: The United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Items, (1982-84 = 100) for Boston-Lawrence-Salem, MA – NH. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics substantially revises the manner in which the CPI is determined, an adjustment shall be made in the revised index, which would produce results equivalent, as nearly as possible, to those which would be obtained if the CPI had not been so revised. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the 1982-84 average shall no longer be used as an index of 100, such change shall constitute a substantial revision. If the CPI becomes unavailable to the public because publication is discontinued, or otherwise becomes unavailable, or if the data is not readily available to enable Landlord to make the adjustment to the revised index referred to above, Landlord shall substitute a comparable index based upon changes in the cost of living or purchase power of the consumer dollar published by any other governmental agency or, if no such index is available, then a comparable index published by a major bank, other financial institution, university or recognized financial publication and generally recognized and used for such adjustments in the Boston metropolitan area.”





(e)
Tenant’s Right to Install Fixed Imaging Equipment. Article 5.2(a) of the Original Lease is hereby amended to insert the following sentence at the end of the current provision:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right to install fixed medical imaging equipment (including but not limited to MRI machines and/or PET machines and/or CT machines, collectively referred to herein as the “Equipment”) in the Premises during the Term, provided that: (i) Tenant shall comply with all requirements for the performance of Alterations (other than obtaining Landlord’s consent for the Equipment itself) in connection with the installation of the Equipment, and (ii) Tenant shall remove any such installed Equipment, and repair any damage caused to the Premises or Building by such removal, upon the termination of the Lease. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, but shall not be required to incur any costs, with respect to the installation of the Equipment and the performance of any related Alterations including but not limited to the following:

(i). Government permitting requirements;

(ii). Communications with other tenants regarding design and construction activities;

(iii). Allowing access and/or installation of wiring to roof through Common Facilities (provided that such installation shall comply with (and not void) any roof warranties); and;

(iv). Consent to the placement of a chiller either on the roof of the Building or on the Land.”
   
(f)
Protection of Tenant’s Permitted Use. Article 5.1 of the Original Lease is hereby amended to insert the following sentence at the end of the current provision:

“Provided that the Lease is in full force and effect and no default has occurred and continued beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, and further provided Tenant is operating primarily as a medical diagnostic imaging facility, during the Term, as the same may be extended, Landlord agrees that it shall not lease to nor grant its consent to any sublease or assignment or change in use of any premises in the Building for the principal use of operating any of the following medical diagnostic imaging equipment: MRI, PET, CT and/or any improved or modified version of those technologies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees that so long as New England Baptist Hospital, or its successors or assigns, is leasing and occupying space within the Building, New England Baptist Hospital, or its successors or assigns, shall have the right to perform ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal procedures and such use will not be deemed a breach or violation of the exclusive use rights granted to Tenant herein.




Tenant agrees that the exclusive use rights granted herein are subject to the permitted use rights of other tenants under the leases existing as of the Effective Date of this Third Amendment (collectively, the “Existing Leases”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not grant its consent to a change of any permitted use rights under any Existing Lease that would violate the exclusive use rights granted to Tenant hereunder, where Landlord’s consent for such change in use is required under the terms of such Existing Lease.”

9.
TI Improvement Allowance. Consistent with the tenant improvement allowances granted by Landlord to other tenants, Landlord hereby agrees that on the closing date of the sale of the Property by Greater Boston Musculoskeletal Center Real Estate Company, LLC (“GBMCREC”) to an unaffiliated third party, GBMCREC agrees to pay to Tenant from the sales proceeds a one-time leasehold improvement allowance (the “TI Allowance”) in the amount of $75.00 per square foot with respect to the 4,305 square feet of occupied space that Tenant leases for a total TI Allowance of $322,875.00 and Tenant shall execute a written certification at such closing to the purchaser confirming the amount owed, and the Tenant’s wire instructions for payment by GBMCREC.

10.
Signage. During the remainder of the Term (and any extensions), Tenant shall be entitled to maintain all of its signage existing as of the Effective Date of this Third Amendment on and/or within the Property, the Building and the Premises and replace such signage in the event of damage or excessive wear and tear, all in compliance with applicable Laws. Tenant, at its expense, also shall have the right during the Term to replace any existing signage referencing “Shields Health Care Group” with signage of a similar character and size that references “Shields MRI” and/or “Shields Imaging” and/or similar phrasing. Tenant shall remove all such signage upon the termination or expiration of the Lease and repair any damage caused to the Premises or Building by such removal.

11.
Ratification of Lease. Except as amended hereby, the terms and conditions of the Lease are hereby affirmed and ratified. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Lease. In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this Third Amendment, the terms of this Third Amendment shall control. Landlord and Tenant each hereby ratifies and confirms its obligations under the Lease and represents and warrants to the other that, to its knowledge, it has no defenses thereto. Additionally, Landlord and Tenant each confirms and ratifies that, as of the date hereof, each has no claims, counterclaims, set-offs or defenses against the other arising out of the Lease or in any way relating thereto or arising out of any other transaction between Landlord and Tenant.

12.
Authority. Landlord and Tenant each warrant to the other that the person or persons executing this Third Amendment on its behalf has or have authority to do so and that such execution has fully obligated and bound such Party to all terms and provisions of this Third Amendment.





13.
Execution/Entire Agreement. This Third Amendment, together with the Lease, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties, and may not be amended except by written instrument signed by both Parties. This Third Amendment shall have the effect of an agreement under seal and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

14.
Counterparts. This Third Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and together a single instrument, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Third Amendment by facsimile or portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Third Amendment.

Escrow Agent shall hold the Cash Deposit, if any, in accordance with the provisions of this Escrow Agreement.
2.
Fee. There shall be no fee for the services of Escrow Agent.
3.

Any loss arising from the fact the Deposit exceeds the amount not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
f.

5.

Three (3) business days after proper notice by the Company as set forth herein, the Deposit will be released pursuant to the demand, unless contrary written instructions are received from any other party(ies) to the Escrow Agreement. If contrary written instructions are received by the Company prior to the expiration of three (3) business days after proper notice, the Company will not disburse the Deposit until it receives a mutual written agreement of all parties to this Escrow Agreement or upon receipt of an appropriate final, nonappealable court order. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to a written request for return of the Deposit from Purchaser on or before 5:00 PM Eastern on September 16, 2016 in accordance with Section 3 above.
6.
