Tenant agrees to lease and Landlord agrees to lease to Tenant, commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, the adjacent 3,416 square feet of floor space shown on the Floor Plan attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B, for an additional $4.00 per square foot. Landlord shall, on the Rent Commencement Date, deliver such adjacent space in a “white-box” condition pursuant to the specifications agreed to by the parties and described in Exhibit C, attached hereto and made a part hereof.

All terms and conditions of this Lease, other than provisions regarding the payment of rents and the build-out of such space, shall apply to the lease of this adjacent space as if it were included within the definition of the Leased Premises; provided, however, that once Tenant has built-out this adjacent space and Tenant’s personnel have begun to occupy such space, then the rent for this adjacent space shall be adjusted to the same annual rate per square foot then applicable to the Leased Premises, together with an Allocable Percentage of the Shared Expenses for this adjacent space determined in the same manner as Shared Expenses for the Leased Premises, and all of the foregoing shall be paid in installments due at the same time as the payments of monthly rent and Shared Expenses for the Leased Premises.
6. Repair and Maintenance. Tenant agrees to make and pay for all necessary repairs and for redecorating the Leased Premises (other than the Landlord’s Work, defined below) after commencement of the Lease term at its expense and to keep the Leased Premises in as good repair and condition as existed as of completion of the Landlord’s Work, including the maintenance, repair and replacement of all fixtures, heating, air-conditioning, plumbing and electrical equipment installed as part of Landlord’s Work that service only the Leased Premises, excepting only ordinary wear and tear and those items for which Landlord is responsible as hereafter stated, and further provided that any such fixtures or equipment required to be replaced by Tenant may be replaced with functioning and serviceable used fixtures or equipment that have a remaining useful life consistent with fixtures or equipment that are the same age as the fixtures or equipment being replaced. Landlord shall cause any warranties applicable to these improvements to be transferred to Tenant. Tenant agrees to keep the Leased Premises free of dirt and rubbish, and will provide for prompt removal thereof. If Tenant contracts with a rubbish removal company, and Landlord provides a dumpster enclosure, it is Tenant’s responsibility to keep the dumpster within the enclosure at all times. Tenant shall replace or repair any damaged exterior windows or doors of the Leased Premises with materials of the same size and quality. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for upkeep and the cost of correcting any violations of the applicable governmental laws and regulations (including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act) with respect to the Leased Premises. Landlord shall be responsible for necessary structural repairs and replacement to the roof and foundation of the Building, and for maintenance of those components of the water, plumbing and electrical systems that serve areas of the Building other than the Leased Premises including the Common Areas, excepting those repairs necessitated by damage caused by Tenant or Tenant’s invitees. Landlord shall also be responsible for all damage caused by the negligent, willful or intentional misconduct of the Landlord or Landlord’s agents.

7. Electricity, Gas, Water and Sewer; Telephone. Landlord represents and warrants that all “Utilities” to the Building, consisting of electricity, gas, sewer and water, as well as heating and cooling, shall be metered separately from those to the Leased Premises. Tenant shall pay such of the Utilities as are metered to the Leased Premises to the provider as billed. Tenant shall be responsible for all telephone charges and telephone expenses incurred in respect to the Leased Premises.
8. Shared Expenses. The Leased Premises is part of the Building, and the following sub-paragraphs (a) [taxes], (b) [special assessments], (c) [insurance], and (d) [common area maintenance] (sub-paragraphs (a)-(d) collectively, the “Shared Expenses”) make reference to an “Allocation Percentage” whereby some of the expenses covered by such sub-paragraphs are allocated to the Leased Premises. The parties agree that the Allocation Percentage shall be determined by the provider of the items being allocated in cases where such provider in the ordinary course determines charges separately for the Leased Premises; in all other cases, the Allocation Percentage shall be determined on a square-foot basis. The parties agree that the entire Building comprises approximately 45,335 square feet, and the Leased Premises comprises approximately 16,100 square feet. Therefore, Tenant’s Allocation Percentage for the Leased Premises equals 35.51%.
The total amount of Shared Expenses shall be estimated in advance by Landlord for each calendar year. Tenant shall timely pay as Additional Rent the then-current assessment of the Shared Expenses allocable to the Leased Premises, as determined by the Allocation Percentage. For the purposes of calculating the initial year’s assessment, the assessment is $2.00/square foot. Tenant shall timely pay the then-current assessment until notified of any adjusted assessment. Such assessment shall be paid by Tenant each and every month in installments of one twelfth (1/12) of the assessment. Within ninety (90) days of the conclusion of each calendar year, Landlord shall account for the amount of actual Shared Expenses for that calendar year, and any assessments collected by Landlord in excess of the actual amount of the Shared Expenses shall be credited to Tenant; and any shortage assessed to Tenant shall become due within (10) days of notification. If the term of this Lease commences or ends at any time other than the first day of a calendar year, Tenant shall be responsible for a prorated portion of that calendar year’s estimated Shared Expenses, said pro-ration to be on a daily basis.
- 3 -
(a) Taxes. Tenant shall each and every month pay, as Additional Rent, an assessment of the estimated real estate taxes levied against the Property which is allocable to Tenant as determined by the Allocation Percentage. Real estate taxes shall be estimated on the basis of the real estate taxes for the next preceding tax year.
(b) Special Assessments. If Landlord receives a municipal special assessment relative to the Property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord that part of the special assessment which is allocable to Tenant according to the Allocation Percentage. Tenant shall either pay its allocable share of special assessments in full within thirty (30) days of the date of notice from Landlord, or if offered by the assessing authorities, Tenant may, at its option, pay its allocable portion of a special assessment on the installment basis, together with applicable interest (charged by the assessing authority) attributable to said portion, as said installments become due and prior to delinquency, provided that any balance owing of Tenant’s allocable share on the first day of the last month of the Lease term shall then be due and payable in full.
(c) Insurance. Tenant shall keep in effect, at its sole expense, a comprehensive general liability policy or policies, naming Landlord as an additional insured, covering Tenant’s operations in the Leased Premises and providing coverage for bodily injury and property damage sustained in, or upon the Leased Premises, with a limit of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence. Tenant shall also maintain fire insurance with extended coverage covering all of Tenant’s equipment, fixtures, merchandise, and other property located within the Leased Premises, including the interior decorating installed by Tenant or constituting Tenant’s Work, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of its replacement value. Evidence of such insurance shall be provided by Tenant to Landlord prior to Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises, and from time to time thereafter, as Landlord may request. Landlord shall maintain fire and extended coverage insurance covering the Building, including the improvements to and (if any) equipment in the Leased Premises that remain the property of Landlord upon termination of the Lease, or that would be required to be removed by Tenant, as described on Exhibit E, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value of the Building and such improvements and equipment, with such coverage as it deems desirable. Any insurance required herein to be maintained by a party shall name the other party as an additional insured, as their respective interests may appear. Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, its allocable portion, according to the Allocation Percentage, of any premium rates of insurance carried by Landlord on the Building.
Each party hereby releases the other from liability it may have on account of any loss to the Leased Premises or Property or contents of either due to fire or any peril included in the coverage of any applicable fire and extended coverage and material damage insurance, however caused, including such losses as may be due to the negligence of the other party, its agents or employees, but only to the extent of any amount recovered by reason of such insurance, and each party hereby waives any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist in or accrue to such party on account thereof, provided that such release of liability and waiver of the right of subrogation shall not be operative in any case where the effect thereof is to invalidate such insurance coverage under applicable state law (or increase the cost thereof, unless the other party reimburses the insured for any cost increase, or in the case of a cost increase to Landlord, the Tenant’s Allocation Percentage of the cost increase). If either party fails to maintain in force any insurance required by this Lease to be carried by it, then for purposes of this waiver of subrogation it shall be deemed to have been fully insured and to have recovered the entire amount of its loss. All property insurance required to be maintained under this sub-paragraph shall include a waiver of subrogation clause.

(d) Common Area Maintenance and General Administrative Expense. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, its allocable portion, as determined by the Allocation Percentage, of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in operating and maintaining the “Common Areas,” which term shall include the parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, walkways, and all other areas and facilities which are available for use by Property occupants, their customers, invitees and employees.

If this Lease is not so terminated, Landlord shall restore the structure and exterior of the Building and the Leased Premises and the interior of the Leased Premises (to the extent of the additions, alterations and improvements that would be required to be surrendered to Landlord upon termination of this Lease or that would be required to be removed by Tenant, as described on Exhibit E), at its own expense, within a reasonable time after such destruction or damage. All rents payable to Landlord shall xxxxx during the period of any restoration in proportion to the area of the Leased Premises rendered unusable by reason of such casualty.

Landlord shall not be liable or responsible, and the one hundred twenty (120)-day period mentioned in the preceding sentence shall be extended, for any delays in repairing or rebuilding due to war, strikes, labor unrest or activities, riots, government action, acts of God, inclement weather or any other cause beyond Landlord’s control.
31. Condemnation. In the event the Leased Premises or any part thereof or any portion of the Property shall be taken or condemned for public use by public authorities or conveyed in lieu thereof, so that after such taking, condemnation or conveyance, Tenant’s operations shall be substantially impaired, or, if the Leased Premises shall be structurally altered and cannot be rebuilt by Landlord within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the taking, condemnation or conveyance, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days’ written notice, which notice must be given within sixty (60) days after such taking, condemnation or conveyance in case of substantial impairment of Tenant’s operations. In the event any part of the Leased Premises shall be taken or condemned for public use by public authorities or conveyed in lieu thereof, but after such taking, condemnation or conveyance, Tenant’s operations are not substantially impaired, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to equitable adjustment of rent to reflect the reduction of the Leased Premises due to such taking, condemnation or conveyance. Any award for the Leased Premises shall belong to Landlord except Tenant shall not be precluded from receiving a separate leasehold award for the value of the leasehold interest, its leasehold improvements, fixtures and relocation expenses.

Any transfer of this Lease by merger, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, acquisition of Tenant or Tenant’s assets by another entity, conversion of Tenant to a corporate entity form, liquidation, or any change of the ownership of its outstanding voting equity, shall constitute an assignment for the purposes of the foregoing paragraph unless the collective holders of Tenant’s voting equity prior to such event control at least a majority of the voting equity of Tenant or its successor after such event. Landlord’s consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed following any such event that constitutes an assignment, provided the net worth and creditworthiness of the surviving successor entity shall, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, be at least as favorable as Tenant’s net worth and creditworthiness at the time of the proposed assignment and the nature of the surviving successor entity’s business history, conditions and prospects, type of business and the compatibility of all the foregoing with the other lessees shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
So long as no default shall exist on the part of Tenant, any net rentals collected by Tenant by virtue of an assignment or subletting consented to by Landlord over and above the rentals due from Tenant under the provisions of this Lease shall be shared equally between Tenant and Landlord.
36. Estoppel Certificates. At any time from time to time, Landlord or Tenant within twenty (20) days of the date specified in a request by either party, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting entity, or to any other person or entity specified by the other, a certificate that this Lease is in full force and effect; that this Lease has not been amended or modified in any way, or identifying any such amendments or modifications; that there are then existing no known set-offs or defenses against the enforcement of any terms or conditions contained herein, or if such set-offs or defenses are known, specifying the same; that there are no existing defaults hereunder to the knowledge of the party executing such certificate, or specifying the nature of known defaults, if any; and the date to which the rental and other charges hereunder have been paid, and the amounts of each.
37. Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
38. Assigns. This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective heirs, representatives and assigns.
39. No Waiver.

This Agreement is entered into between McAllen Properties, LLC (“Landlord”) and Cellectar, Inc., formerly Cellectar, LLC (“Tenant”).
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are parties to a certain Lease entered into as of September 5, 2007 (the “Lease”) for the premises described therein; and
WHEREAS, Tenant holds a Certificate of Deposit in the original principal amount of Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars ($55,000) (the “CD”), acquired for the purpose of securing Tenant’s performance of certain work upon termination of the Lease, as provided for in paragraph 11 of the Lease; and
WHEREAS, Tenant has not exercised its option to extend the term of the Lease, and but for this Agreement, the Lease would otherwise expire on September 14, 2010;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.
2. The term of the Lease shall be extended through December 31, 2010. All of the terms and provisions of the Lease shall apply throughout such extended term, except as otherwise set forth herein.
3. Each monthly installment of the total of the Base Rent, the additional rent for the “expandable square feet” pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Lease, and the Shared Expenses (collectively, the “Rent”) for the period from June 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 shall be one-half of the amount of the monthly installment of Rent in effect for May, 2010.
4. During the extended term of the Lease, Tenant may terminate the Lease as of the end of any calendar month upon at least ten (10) days advance written notice.
5. Provided that Tenant has not terminated the Lease as provided for in paragraph 4, above, and further provided that Tenant is not then in default under the Lease, as extended and amended hereby, Tenant may elect to extend the term of the Lease for the remainder of the initial two-year extended term that would have been in effect had Tenant timely exercised its initial right to extend the term of the Lease. Tenant shall make such an election by giving Landlord written notice thereof not later than December 15, 2010. At the time that Tenant makes such an election and as a condition thereof, Tenant will be required to pay to Landlord the difference between (a) the aggregate amount of Rent that would have been payable for the period from June 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 had Tenant timely exercised its initial right to extend the term of the Lease and had this Agreement not been in effect and (b) the amount of Rent actually paid by Tenant for that same period, together with interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the accruing amount of such difference over such period. If Tenant makes the election set forth in this paragraph to further extend the term of the Lease for the balance of the initial two-year extended term, then the amount of Rent for the period from January 1, 2011 and thereafter shall be as set forth in the Lease, calculated without regard to the effect of this Agreement, and all other terms and provisions of the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, without regard to the effect of this Agreement.
- 26 -
6. In the event that Tenant either terminates the Lease as provided for in paragraph 4, above, or fails to extend the term of the Lease as provided for in paragraph 5, above, then (a) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the CD, together with such duly executed documents of assignment as are necessary to transfer to Landlord the CD and all of Tenant’s rights thereunder, and upon such delivery, Tenant shall be relieved of all of its obligations to perform the removal of the alterations, improvements and additions and the installation of the improvements and equipment to the Leased Premises, as provided for in paragraph 11 of the Lease, and (b) Landlord may retain as additional rent any remaining balance of the security deposit provided for in paragraph 25 of the Lease, after reducing the same for any rent arrearages or other damages resulting from a default by Tenant.
7. Tenant’s obligation to “decommission” the Leased Premises in accordance with sub-paragraph 18.5(f) of the Lease upon any termination or expiration of the Lease shall continue to apply to any termination or expiration occurring on or before December 31, 2010, and Tenant shall in good faith attempt to comply with such obligation prior to the effective date of any such termination or expiration; provided, however, that in the event of a termination or expiration of the Lease on or before December 31, 2010, if Tenant cannot complete the decommissioning process prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration of the Lease, Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises solely for the purpose of completing the decommissioning process shall not give rise to a month-to-month tenancy or any further obligations for the payment of rent to Landlord.
8. In the event that Tenant either terminates the Lease as provided for in paragraph 4, above, or fails to extend the term of the Lease as provided for in paragraph 5, above, then that portion of paragraph 8 of the Lease that provides for a reconciliation, within ninety (90) days of the end of each calendar year, of the actual Shared Expenses against the estimated Shared Expenses, and a payment from or to Tenant for the difference, shall not be effective for the 2010 calendar year.
Executed August 4, 2010, but effective as of June 1, 2010.
