(a) bank check (which sum, plus any interest thereon, LESSOR shall be entitled to commingle and use with LESSOR’S own funds); or

(b) irrevocable stand-by Letter of Credit, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C from a commercial bank in Massachusetts reasonably acceptable to LESSOR

If available to LESSEE, the Letter of Credit shall be the full term of this Lease. However, the Letter of Credit may be written on an annual basis with a provision that it may be drawn upon if LESSEE fails to provide a renewal or replacement therefor forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the then existing Letter of Credit.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, LESSOR hereby consents and agrees that LESSEE may keep the ‘Permitted Items” described on Exhibit E hereto at the Leased Premises and utilize them for the Permitted Uses hereunder, provided however, such consent by LESSOR does not relieve LESSEE, from identifying, procuring in advance, and maintaining any and all municipal, state and federal permits or authorizations therefor (including without limitation the transport, storage and handling thereof), which shall be LESSEE’S sole responsibility and the absence of which shall not in manner abrogate this Lease or reduce any of LESSEE’S obligations to pay all Rent due hereunder or otherwise perform hereunder.

LESSEE shall be under no obligation to accept such space, and LESSOR shall be under no obligation to offer such space more than once. If LESSEE requests such space, LESSOR shall provide LESSEE with the keys or access cards for such space.

LESSEE shall have access to the Leased Premises for LESSEE’S use seven days per week and twenty four hours per day for each day of the Term, subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof relative to overtime heat and air-conditioning.

LESSEE shall pay for such electrical charges upon receipt of its monthly invoice from LESSOR, to be rendered and paid based on those estimates within thirty (30) days of LESSEE’S receipt of the invoice. Within one hundred twenty (120) days of the close of each calendar year, LESSOR shall adjust the LESSEE’S prior year’s electrical payments to account for the actual and properly accrued charges reflective of the actual check meter readings for such year, and shall issue LESSEE a refund or deficiency statement for that year, as appropriate. LESSEE shall pay any deficiency shown thereon within thirty (30) days of its receipt of said invoice. Any rebates due

LESSEE (not contested by LESSOR) shall be credited toward then current monthly electrical charge invoices or paid to LESSEE within thirty (30) days.

LESSOR shall maintain (a) an average temperature in the useable common areas of the Building generally between 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 80 degrees Fahrenheit at all times, and (b) an average temperature in the office portions of the Leased Premises generally between 65 degrees Fahrenheit and 75 degree Fahrenheit during Normal Business Hours (the “HVAC Criteria”). LESSEE hereby acknowledges mat LESSEE controls the temperature in its own laboratory spaces; there shall be no requirement for LESSOR to maintain the foregoing standards with respect thereto; and LESSOR shall not be responsible for coordination of the relative temperatures within the Leased Premises or the balancing of the HVAC systems servicing the Leased Premises, given LESSEE’S control over such laboratory spaces; provided, however, that LESSOR shall be responsible for providing electricity and water to the HVAC equipment serving the laboratory spaces 24-hours per day, 7 days per week, such usual and customary electrical capacity and water volume to be in same quantities as are sufficient for the average office/laboratory tenant in the building without regard to any special requirements or specialized equipment (it being LESSEE’S responsibility to make separate arrangements with LESSOR, at LESSEE’S cost and expense, for any greater or more intense requirements). At any time, upon no less than forty eight (48) hours prior notice by LESSEE, LESSOR shall make available overtime heat and air-conditioning to LESSEE at the Premises in accordance with clause (b) of the HVAC criteria, and LESSEE shall pay as additional rent, overtime heat and air-conditioning for the office portions of the Leased Premises as maybe requested by LESSEE for the Leased Premises on the basis of $ 150.00 per zone per hour (subject to increase by the same percentage amount by which the standard electric rates are increased), as billed by LESSOR. LESSEE shall give LESSOR forty eight (48) hours prior notice of any requirements for specialized overtime heating and air-conditioning. LESSOR shall not be liable to LESSEE for any interruption, interference, damage or loss to LESSEE’S research or experimentation occasioned as a result of any failure in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, or electrical services or other utilities servicing the Building or the Leased Premises. No plumbing or electrical work of any type shall be done without LESSOR’S approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and, if applicable, the appropriate municipal permit and/or inspector’s approval. Water for domestic type sanitary purposes (only) shall be supplied at LESSOR’S expense. There shall be separately metered and separately paid for by LESSEE, non-potable laboratory water and water for other particularized uses in the Leased Premises.

An “Abatement Event” shall be defined as an event or circumstance (other than those addressed in Section 18, and subject to Section 27 herein) that prevents LESSEE from using the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of any failure to provide Services or access to the Premises. LESSEE shall give LESSOR notice (“Abatement Notice”) of any such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues beyond the “Eligibility Period” (as that term is defined below), then the Annual Base Rent and LESSEE’S other monetary obligations to LESSOR hereunder shall be abated entirely or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that LESSEE continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that LESSEE is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that LESSEE is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow LESSEE to effectively conduct its business therein, and if LESSEE does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which LESSEE is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, Annual Base Rent and LESSEE’S other monetary obligations to LESSOR hereunder shall be abated entirely for such time as LESSEE continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. The term “Eligibility Period” shall mean a period of three (3) consecutive days after LESSOR’S receipt of any Abatement Notice(s). In addition, if an Abatement Event continues for sixty (60) consecutive days after any Abatement Notice, LESSEE may terminate this Lease by written notice to LESSOR at any time prior to the date such Abatement Event is cured by LESSOR.

8. Compliance with Laws. LESSEE acknowledges that no trade, occupation, or activity shall be conducted in the Leased Premises or use made thereof which will be unlawful, improper, noisy or offensive, or contrary to any federal or state law or administrative regulations, or any municipal ordinance or regulations in force at any time in Cambridge.

During the Lease Term LESSEE shall have the option to (a) share use of the existing emergency generator (owned by LESSOR) currently servicing the tenant(s) on the third floor (“Landlord’s Generator”), in which case LESSEE shall be responsible to share in the costs and expenses of repairs, maintenance, servicing and operation thereof, pro rata with other actual users, and enter into LESSOR’S standard side agreement with respect thereto (attached hereto as Exhibit H); or, (b) provide its own emergency generator, at its sole cost and expense (including installation and connection), in a location to be mutually agreed upon between LESSOR and LESSEE; with all costs and expenses of repairs, maintenance, servicing and operation to be borne solely by

12. Assignment and Subletting. LESSEE covenants and agrees that neither this Lease nor the Term and estate hereby granted, nor any interest therein will be assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred, and that neither the Leased Premises, nor any part thereof, will be encumbered in any manner by reason or by act or omission of LESSEE, or used or occupied, or permitted to be used or occupied, by anyone other than LESSEE, its servants, agents, contractors and employees, or for any use or purpose other than as above stated, or be sublet, without in each case LESSOR’S prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LESSOR’S prior written consent shall not be required for any assignment or sublet to an wholly or majority owned affiliate or subsidiary of the LESSOR, or any entity succeeding to LESSOR as a direct result of a merger or consolidation or asset or stock transfer or issuance of stock by LESSEE (“Permitted Transfer”).

The grounds upon which LESSOR may reasonably withhold its consent are as follows:

(i) The prospective assignee’s or sub-lessee’s intended use of the Premises is not identical to the permitted uses set forth in the Lease; or,

(ii) The nature, character, class and standards of the prospective assignee’s or sublessee’s business will not be consistent with those of other lessees in the Building or will not conform to the mix of other lessees in the Building at that time; or,

(iii) The financial strength and reliability of the prospective assignee or sublessee, excluding any additional personal or corporate guarantees, is not sufficient, in LESSOR’S reasonable business judgment, to meet all of LESSEE’S obligations to be performed as of and from the date of said assignment or sub-letting. The prospective assignee or sub-lessee must produce to LESSOR’S accountants a verified and current audited financial statement, (or if none has been prepared by said prospective assignee within the past three years, a CPA certified current financial statement), and such other documentation as is material in making such determination; which shall be kept confidential by them; or,

(iv) The operations of the prospective assignee or sub-lessee will violate any exclusive or other rights given any other lessees in the Building.

(v) The failure of LESSOR’s mortgage lender(s) to consent (if and to the extent required in Landlord’s mortgage loan documents).

Except in the case of a Permitted Transfer, LESSOR, in addition to Annual Base Rent and all Additional Rent hereunder, shall be entitled to fifty (50%) percent of the full amount of any and all sums assessed or collected by LESSEE, in whatever form, attributable to or arising from the permitted subletting or assignment, after deduction only for reasonable brokerage commissions and reasonable legal fees actually incurred, (herein, “Rent Xxxx-Up”).

Notwithstanding LESSOR’S consent to the assignment or subletting, as contemplated above, LESSEE shall remain primarily liable to LESSOR for the payment of all Rent and for the full

performance of the covenants and conditions of this Lease; and LESSOR may collect all sums due as Rent directly from the assignee/subtenant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that LESSEE desires to sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer, it shall in each instance notify the LESSOR in writing, stating the intended effective date of the proposed sublet (which shall not be less than 60 days from the date of said notice to LESSOR). Subject to the preceding sentence, if the proposed sublease itself (or cumulatively with other approved subleases) accounts for the sublease of greater than fifty (50%) percent of the area of the Leased Premises, or if there are more than two then existing subtenants, then LESSOR shall have a period of 60 days from the date it receives such notice to exercise an election to take back the Leased Premises, in LESSOR’S sole discretion and without any obligation to so elect, whatsoever, notwithstanding the circumstances, and without prejudice to or waiver of any of LESSOR’s rights or LESSEE’S continuing obligations hereunder. LESSEE shall provide LESSOR with all reasonably material information relative to LESSOR making an informed decision concerning said sublet, immediately upon LESSOR’ s request. If LESSOR elects to take back the Premises, it shall send written notice thereof to LESSEE; and LES SEE shall be irrevocably bound to surrender and vacate the Premises as if the Term of the Lease had expired on the date set forth in the LESSEE’S initial notice to LESSOR; and provided LESSEE vacates and surrenders on said date, without being in default (of which LESSEE has been provided written notice) of any provision hereof as of said date, this Lease shall be null and void and without recourse to either party hereto (but for terms and conditions contemplated herein to survive termination of this Lease). LESSEE shall not be entitled to any payments, commissions, credits, offsets, or any kind or nature arising from said sublet, nor shall any individual or entity acting by, through, or under LESSEE be so entitled. Once an election is made by LESSOR, LESSEE shall be subject to the penalties for holding over set forth in this Lease, if it fails to vacate and surrender the Premises by the date stated in the notice, or if it fails to discharge (or cause its lenders or others with which LESSEE has dealt to discharge) any and all recorded liens or other encumbrances, notices, or restrictions on its leasehold or contractual interest in and to the Premises as of said date. Nothing in this paragraph shall require LESSOR to make an election to take back the Premises, and nothing in the aforesaid process shall relieve LESSEE of its liability under this Lease should LESSOR elect not to take back the Premises.

13. Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages and related documents placed on the Building, Leased Premises or the real property in existence as of the date hereof or coming into existence at any time hereafter. LESSEE shall upon execution of this Lease execute and deliver LESSOR’S lender’s form of Subordination Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (“Lender’s SNDA Form”), and LESSOR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure execution thereof from its current lender and provide a fully executed original to LESSEE. LESSOR’S inability to provide the same despite its commercially reasonable efforts to do so shall not be deemed to be a default under this Lease. LESSOR shall be deemed to have used “commercially reasonable efforts” in the foregoing instance if it makes a prompt request in writing for execution of such Lender’s SNDA Form upon the Lease Execution Date (with a copy to LESSEE); makes at least weekly phone inquiries to the lender or loan servicers as to the status of execution, by its counsel or in house leasing manager; and to the extent required by lender or loan servicer pays any required reasonable loan servicing fee. Further, at any other time during

the Term, LESSEE shall within fifteen (15) days after written request from LESSOR, execute and deliver the LESSEE’S Lender’s SNDA Form to LESSOR who shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure execution thereof from its then current lender(s) and provide a fully executed original to LESSEE, LESSOR’S inability to provide the same despite its commercially reasonable efforts to do so shall not be deemed to be a default under this Lease,

14. Lessor’s Access to Leased Premises. LESSOR or agents of LESSOR may at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice (except in case of emergency) enter to view the Leased Premises and may remove any signs not approved and affixed as herein provided, and may make repairs and alterations as LESSOR is permitted to perform under this Lease and repairs which LESSEE is required but has failed to do (but only after notice and an opportunity to repair being provided to LESSEE), and may show the Leased Premises to prospective mortgagees and appraisers, and during the last twelve (12) months of the Term to brokers, and others and to prospective tenants. Additionally, to the extent necessary to service other portions of the Premises or the common areas or other tenant spaces in the building; LESSOR may add, relocate, or maintain a chase, pipes, conduits, or ducts, within the Premises provided the aforesaid do not materially interfere with LESSEE’S use of the Premises or its aesthetics. If any such addition or relocation reduces the space available for use by LESSEE, the amount of Annual Base Rent and LESSEE’S Allocable Percentage for Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be reduced accordingly. Any entry by LESSOR onto the Premises for this purpose shall be done in such manner as to minimally interfere with the business conducted thereon by LESSEE, and undertaken with reasonable steps to protect LESSEE’S property.

15. Snow Removal. LESSOR will be responsible for the removal or other treatment of snow and ice on walkways, sidewalks, entryways and parking areas.

16. Access and Parking. LESSEE shall be granted the right, at current rates (which may be increased from time to time to reflect market increases), to park up to sixteen (16) motor vehicles in the Building’s on-site indoor parking lot or facility on an unassigned and unreserved basis, in single or tandem spaces or on a valet basis which LESSOR in its sole discretion shall designate from time to time. The initial parking rate therefor shall be $ 210 per month, per car, which monthly rate may be changed by LESSOR in its discretion subject to and reflective of periodic market changes in accordance with this paragraph. All payments for these parking rights shall be considered to be Additional Rent under this Lease. The Building garage, plus any stairs, walkways or other means of ingress or egress controlled by the LESSOR shall not in any case be considered extensions of the Leased Premises. LESSEE will not obstruct in any manner any portion of the Building or the walkways or approaches to the Building, and will conform to all reasonable and non-discriminatory rules now or hereafter made by LESSOR for parking, and for the access and egress, security, care, use, or alteration of the Building, its facilities and approaches in connection with such parking, provided the same do not decrease LESSEE’S parking rights hereunder. LESSEE further warrants that LESSEE will not permit any employee or visitor to violate this or any other covenant or obligation to LESSEE. No vehicles shall be stored or left in any parking area for more than three nights without LESSOR’S written approval. Unregistered or disabled vehicles, or storage, trailers of any type, may not be parked overnight at any time. LESSEE agrees to assume all expense and risk for the towing of any misparked vehicle belonging to LESSEE or LESSEE’S agents, employees, business invitees, or callers, at any time. For the purpose of this section the term “space” shall mean general access for one

motor vehicle. All vehicles shall be parked and left on the premises at their owners’ sole risk and LESSOR shall not be liable for any damages caused to said vehicles while they are parked or left on the premises.

17. Liability Insurance. Except to me extent caused by or arising as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its agents, contractors or employees, LESSEE shall be solely responsible as between LESSOR and LESSEE for deaths or personal injuries to all persons whomsoever occurring in or on the Leased Premises from whatever cause arising, and damage to property to whomsoever belonging arising out of the use, control, condition or occupation of the Leased Premises by LESSEE; and LESSEE agrees to indemnify and save harmless LESSOR from any and all liability, reasonable expenses, damage, causes of action, suits, claims or judgments caused by or in any way growing out of any matters aforesaid LESSOR shall be solely responsible as between LESSOR and LESSEE for deaths or personal injuries to all persons whomsoever occurring in or on the Leased Premises, Building, or the property on which the Building is located resulting or arising from any negligent act or omission by LESSOR, and damage to property to whomsoever belonging arising out of any negligent act or omission by LESSOR; and LESSOR agrees to indemnify and save harmless LESSEE from any and all liability, reasonable expenses, damage, causes of action, suits, claims or judgments caused by or in any way growing out of any matters aforesaid. LESSEE will secure and carry at its own expense a commercial general liability policy insuring LESSEE, LESSOR (and its lenders and any other entity reasonably requested in writing by LESSOR) against any claims based on bodily injury (including death) arising out of the condition of the Leased Premises or their use by LESSEE, such policy to insure LESSEE, LESSOR and said other entities against any claim up to Two Million ($2,000,000.00) Dollars per occurrence for personal injury or damage to property. LESSOR and its lenders shall be included in such policy as additional insureds. LESSEE will promptly file with LESSOR certificates showing that such insurance is in force, and thereafter will file renewal certificates prior to the expiration of any such policies. All such insurance certificates shall provide that such policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, except in the event of cancellation for nonpayment of premium, whereby ten (10) days’ prior notice will be provided to each insured named therein.

LESSOR shall maintain in full force from the date upon which LESSEE first enters the Premises for any reason, throughout the Term, a policy of insurance upon the Building insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage under an All Risk coverage endorsement in an amount at least equal to the full replacement value of the Building insured, with an Agreed Amount endorsement to satisfy co-insurance requirements, as well as insurance against breakdown of boilers and other machinery as customarily insured against. LESSOR shall supply to LESSEE from time to time upon request of LESSEE certificates of all such insurance issued by or on behalf of the insurers named therein by a duly authorized agent.

LESSOR and LESSEE waive all rights of recovery against the other and its respective officers, partners, members, managers, agents, representatives, and employees for loss or damage to its real and personal property kept in the Building which is required to be insured by such party hereunder. Each parry shall notify the insurance carrier that the foregoing waiver is contained in this Lease and shall obtain an appropriate waiver of subrogation provision in the policies.

18. Fire, Casualty, Eminent Domain. Should a substantial portion of the Leased Premises, or of the property of which they are a part, be substantially damaged by fire or other casualty, or be taken by eminent domain (in either case such that restoration of the Premises within six (6) months after such event is not practicable), LESSOR or LESSEE may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice. When such fire, casualty, or taking renders the Leased Premises substantially unsuitable for their intended use and no termination has been elected, a just and proportionate abatement of rent shall be made, and LESSEE may elect to terminate this Lease if: (a) LESSOR fails to give written notice within ninety (90) days of intention to restore Leased Premises, or (b) LESSOR fails to restore the Leased Premises to a condition substantially suitable for their intended use within one hundred eighty (180) days of said fire, casualty or taking. LESSOR reserves all rights for all damages or injury to the Leased Premises for any taking by eminent domain; except for damage to LESSEE’S moveable fixtures, property or equipment, or moving expenses, which are specifically allocated to LESSEE by the taking authority or arbitrators.

19. Brokerage. LESSEE and LESSOR each warrants and represents to the other that they have dealt with no broker or third person with respect to this Lease or the Leased Premises or Building entitled to a commission as a result of this Lease, other than Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, whose fees shall be paid by LESSOR pursuant to separate written agreements; and LESSOR and LESSEE each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other from any fees, expenses, or damages arising from breach of the above warranty.

20. Signage. LESSEE shall have the right to have its name included at LESSOR’S expense in any central directory maintained by LESSOR listing the Building’s other tenants. LESSOR authorizes LESSEE, if desired, to display one sign on LESSEE’S office entrance door (at LESSEE’S expense) consistent with similar signs of other tenants.

21. Default. In the event that: (a) LESSEE shall default in the payment of the Security Deposit Amount or any installment of Annual Base Rent or any Additional Rent, and such default shall continue for five (5) days after written notice thereof; or (b) LESSEE shall default in the observance or performance of any other of LESSEE’S covenants, agreements, or obligations hereunder and such default shall not be corrected within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof; provided, however, that if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, then LESSEE shall not be in default if, and so long as, LESSEE commences such cure within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion (provided there is no material interference with the operations of the Building or any tenant therein during such protracted cure period); (c) LESSEE shall be declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or if any voluntary or involuntary petition for bankruptcy is filed against LESSEE and not discharged within sixty (60) days from filing; or if any assignment shall be made of LESSEE’S property for the benefit of creditors; then, while such default continues, and without demand or. further notice, LESSOR shall have the right to re-enter and take complete possession of the Leased Premises, to declare the term of this Lease ended, and to remove LESSEE’S effects, without being guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which might be otherwise used for arrears of rent and other default of breach of covenant LESSEE shall indemnify LESSOR against all loss of Rent and other payments, which LESSOR may incur by reason of such termination during the remainder of the term, it being expressly understood that LESSOR shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Leased Premises and

collect all rents from such reletting. If LESSEE shall default, after reasonable notice thereof, in the observance or performance of any conditions or covenants on LESSEE’S part to be observed or performed under or by virtue of any one of the provisions in any section of this Lease, LESSOR, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may after the expiration of any applicable cure period, remedy same for the account and at the expense of LESSEE, (including but not limited to application of any or all of the Security Deposit held by LESSOR). If LESSOR pays or incurs any obligations for the payment of money in connection therewith, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, such sums paid or obligations incurred, with interest at the rate of eight (8%) percent per annum and costs, shall be paid to LESSOR by LESSEE as additional rent. Upon default of this Lease by LESSEE, and because the payment of Rent in Monthly installments is for the sole convenience of LESSEE, the entire balance of Rent which would accrue hereunder shall, at the option of the LESSOR, become immediately due and payable; subject however to LESSOR’S obligation to use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages occasioned by said default. LESSEE shall be responsible to pay reasonable attorneys fees incurred by LESSOR in any successful action by LESSOR for delinquent Rent or in the case of liquidated damages as aforesaid; and otherwise both LESSOR and LESSEE shall be entitled to such reasonable attorneys fees as a court of competent jurisdiction may award as part of its final judgment in the event of any dispute involving damages, injunctive relief or specific performance by either.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, (i) in no event shall LESSEE be responsible for punitive or consequential damages incurred by LESSOR as a result of any act (or failure to act) by LESSEE, and (ii) in no event shall LESSOR be responsible for punitive or consequential damages incurred by LESSEE as a result of any act (or failure to act) by LESSOR.

Time is of the essence in delivery of any notice, and the performance of any obligations relating thereto. Either party may designate a different address to which notice is to be sent by providing a notice of address change to the other in accordance with this Section 22. Prior to the Delivery Date, LESSEE’S notice address shall be LESSEE’S address set forth at the beginning of this Lease.

23. Lessee’s Occupancy. In the event that LESSEE remains in any part of the Leased Premises after the agreed termination date of this Lease without the written permission of LESSOR, then all other terms of this Lease shall continue to apply, except that LESSEE shall be liable to LESSOR for any loss, damages or expenses incurred by LESSOR, and all Annual Base

Rent shall be due in monthly installments at a rate of two hundred (200%) percent of that which would otherwise be due under this Lease, it being understood between the parties that such extended occupancy as a tenant at sufferance.

Following delivery of the Delivery Notice, LESSEE shall have the right to inspect the Leased Premises with LESSOR for purposes of agreeing upon the Punch List Items.

33. Option to Extend. LESSEE, provided there has been no default of LESSEE under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods more than twice during the original Lease Term, and provided there is then no default of LESSEE under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, shall have the option to extend the Term of this Lease as to the Leased Premises, on the terms and conditions herein, for one additional period of thirty six (36) months (herein, the “Extended Term”) at the then current “Market Rent” (including annual escalations thereon for each year of the extended term based on increases in the Consumer Price Index or fixed increases, as the case may be, as determined by then prevailing market forces), but in no event (including any appraisal or arbitration proceedings as set forth below) less than an amount equal to $42.00 per rentable square foot of Leased Premises space (the “Extension Rent Floor”). Said Extended Term shall commence, subject to proper exercise of LESSEE’S option hereunder,

on the Termination Date of the original Term, and shall terminate on that date which is thirty six (36) consecutive months after the original Termination Date.

They shall each make their determination in writing (subject however, to the Extension Rent Floor), including a statement if such is the case, that they are at an impasse. Such a statement of impasse shall be submitted to the parries along with the Market Rent figure which each appraiser has selected and his reasons and substantiation therefor. The appraisers, in case of an impasse, shall also agree on one unrelated individual or entity with expertise in commercial real estate in greater Boston, who shall evaluate the reports of the two original appraisers and within fourteen (14) days of submission of the issue to him, make his own determination as to a figure representing Market Rent (subject however, to the Extension Rent Floor). The determination of this individual or entity (i.e. arbitrator) absent, fraud, bias or undue prejudice shall be binding upon the parties.

Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent during any Extended Term shall be payable in advance, in equal monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month.

34. Extended Term Additional Rent. LESSEE in addition to the sums payable annually to LESSOR as Annual Base Rent, shall pay to LESSOR for each year of any Extended Term, as Additional Rent, LESSEE’S Allocable Percentage (as determined by the approximate total rentable space leased) for Operating Expenses, Real Estate Taxes and Utilities as contemplated in Sections 3,4 and 7 hereof.

35. Estoppel Certificates. Upon not less than fifteen days prior written request by either party, the other party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that LESSEE has at the time of such statement no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent and any other charges (in the case of any such certificate to be delivered by LESSEE) and to perform its other covenants under this Lease (or, if there have been any modifications that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications and, if there are any defenses, offsets or counterclaims, setting them forth in reasonable detail), and the dates to which the Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent and other charges have been paid. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied

upon by any prospective purchase or mortgagee of the Premises, or any prospective assignee of any such mortgagee or, as applicable the LESSOR or LESSEE.

36. Governing Law. This Lease constitutes the full and complete agreement between the parties shall be construed under and according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any provision of this Lease which is deemed void or unenforceable shall not invalidate or render void or unenforceable the entire Lease.
