2.1 Leased Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant 46,128 rentable square feet (approximately) in the Building comprised of: Condominium #2 of the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Condominiums (also known as the “Pharmacy Unit”) as initially depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto, plus, without additional charge, the right to convenient use, in common with others, of all accesses, walkways, drives and ways, and all other common areas as so designated by this Lease and as finally determined by the agreement of the parties as to the final Exhibit A, depicting the as constructed Building and all associated common areas (the “Leased Premises”). The net rentable area of the Leased Premises shall be confirmed by Landlord and Tenant by written agreement when the Approved Working Drawings (as defined in the Work Letter) have been finalized but shall at all times be subject to remeasurement pursuant to the terms of the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Work Letter”) and as otherwise contained in this Lease at Section 1.1. The Leased Premises shall also include the Tenant’s right to exclusive (with Landlord, as set out below) use of the rooftop within the perimeter of the Leased

Premises as designated on the Final Core & Shell Plans at the 6^th Floor Level (the “Rooftop Premises”) for uses which shall include HVAC equipment, Tenant’s communication purposes and related installations which uses are hereby approved by Landlord and consistent with the permits issued by the City of Portland, including “Green Roof” limitations, Provided, however, that notwithstanding Tenant’s reserved rights, Landlord shall have the right to use an approximately twelve feet-by-twelve feet (12’ x 12’) area on the Rooftop Premises, as designated on said plans, for Landlord’s future service equipment, the exact location of which area is depicted on the Working Drawings, but under no circumstances shall Landlord interfere with Tenant’s reserved use described above. Landlord shall, upon Tenant’s reasonable request, make additional rooftop space available for Tenant’s additional equipment at other locations within the Project site. The Leased Premises shall also include the exclusive use of the loading dock in the lower level of the Parking Facility (as defined below) (the “Loading Dock”). The Rooftop Premises and the Loading Dock are included at no additional cost or rent to Tenant and will not be included in the calculation of the net rentable area of the Leased Premises, The uses of the Rooftop Premises shall comply with all applicable conditions of approval by the City of Portland, applicable law and ordinances.

Tenant shall have exclusive (with the owner of Condominium Unit 3, as set out below) access to the lower level of the Parking Facility. Landlord acknowledges that such exclusive access is required for Tenant’s security purposes and regulatory approvals related to the handling of controlled substances. The Unit 3 owner shall have access to the lower level for loading and unloading purposes only, and shall not permit access by any other party or for any other purpose. Landlord shall also have access to such lower level for customary maintenance and repairs with Tenant’s consent and upon providing Tenant with reasonable notice prior to such access and, in all cases, Landlord will be accompanied by an employee or agent of Tenant, and Landlord will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of Section 20 of this Lease.

Reference is hereby made to that certain License Agreement by and between the parties, of near or even date herewith, for approximately 1,200 square feet of existing space within the Leased Premises (the “License Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the parties affirm that as of the Commencement Dates (as defined below), this Lease will supersede and replace the License Agreement, and the premises that are the subject of the License Agreement are included in the definition of Leased Premises herein.

It is acknowledged that Tenant’s approval of the Declaration of the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Condominium Association and all related condominium documents to be initially drafted by Landlord (all such condominium documents are together hereinafter referred to as the “Declaration”) is required prior to any such document’s finalization, recording or presentation to any other party as final. The following are among the conditions to Tenant’s approval of the Declaration, and Landlord shall in good faith cooperate with Tenant to assure that the Declaration includes such items or meets such conditions:

The Leased Premises will be an insurable condominium unit properly created under the Maine Condominium Act. Landlord shall be responsible for preparing, executing and recording the condominium documents and forming the condominium association prior to the Commencement Date using approved condominium documents, all at Landlord’s sole expense.

2. The condominium and/or Declaration shall contain the following items:

Appurtenant to the Leased Premises shall he access to sufficient, legal parking spaces for Tenant’s use as are provided for in this Lease and the associated Parking Lease, attached hereto as Exhibit D, such spaces to be located as depicted on the Final Core and Shell Plan or other plans approved in writing by Tenant and access to and a right to install and maintain signs in the locations provided in this Lease.

No common elements or other portions of the condominium property that are necessary to Tenant or the Leased Premises may be changed in any material way (e.g., reduction, reconfiguration or elimination of common areas including parking, or accesses) that would materially and negatively impact the Leased Premises and their accessibility, signage visibility or usefulness without the written consent of the Tenant, which may be withheld in Tenant’s sole discretion.

Restrictions on all units that prohibit; (i) any uses that would typically be prohibited in a first-class office building or business park similar to the Site (e.g., gambling, pool halls, arcades, “adult” business, etc.); and (ii) any uses which would have an inordinately negative burden on parking areas that are used by Tenant. In addition, any violation by any other user or occupant of any other units or areas of the condominium of Tenant’s exclusive use protections provided in this Lease’s Section 29.0 shall be either prohibited in the Declaration or such exclusive use provisions shall be made superior to the Declaration and all other interests in the condominium.

Controls and maintenance and aesthetic obligations as to the developed and undeveloped portions of the Project, including compliance with requirements of permitting authorities and laws and regulations.

Such customary and reasonable easements, covenants and restrictions for a commercial condominium.

Condominium Unit 3 shall be restricted in its use of the lower level of the Parking Facility to the sole purpose of loading and unloading delivery vehicles. Tenant’s rights to access this area shall otherwise be exclusive.

The Declaration, once approved by Tenant as set forth below, shall not be amended or modified in any way that would remove or limit the protections described in (b), (c), (d), (f) and (g) above or cause any changes to the common elements that would result in budgetary increases that disproportionately affect Tenant or represent excessive increases of controllable expenses without Tenant’s written consent, it being the intent hereof that the Declaration will be structured in such a way that Tenant has the right to prevent any such removal or limitation on those protections notwithstanding its lack of voting control.

In the event that Tenant and Landlord cannot agree on the form of the Declaration by September 15, 2018 (the “Declaration Deadline”), Tenant may at its option terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within five (5) business days following the Declaration Deadline, which termination notice shall (except as hereafter provided) be effective thirty (30) days after delivery to Landlord, unless the parties agree on the form of Declaration prior to that termination date, in which case such termination notice and right shall automatically become null and void. Upon the effective date of any such notice of termination, the parties shall have no further liabilities or obligations hereunder, except the Landlord shall repay to Tenant any payments, security deposit or any other funds previously delivered to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Once approved by Tenant as set forth above, and subject to the consent requirements set out in subsection (g) above, the Declaration may only be amended or modified with the prior written consent of at least sixty percent (60%) of the voting interests of the Board of Directors and any eligible mortgagees.

2.2 Parking and Access. Landlord will construct on the Site a parking facility and provide a minimum of thirty-nine (39) dedicated parking spaces in that parking facility for use by Tenant (“Tenant’s Dedicated Spaces”), its employees, guests and invitees exclusively (the “Parking Facility”), pursuant to that certain Parking Lease between Landlord and Tenant, as attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Parking Lease”). It is the intent of the parties that the Tenant’s Dedicated Spaces are an important and critical feature to its Lease relationship, Though it is intended by the parties that the documents should be consistent and integrated, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Parking Lease and the terms of this Lease, this Lease shall control. Construction of the Parking Facility will be completed by the Commencement Date, in accordance with the terms of this Lease. The term of the Parking Lease will run concurrently with the Term of this Lease and be subject to the same extension rights. The Tenant’s Dedicated Spaces will be designated with appropriate signage, and Landlord will be responsible for overseeing and enforcing Tenant’s exclusive use, 67% of these spaces will be dedicated and available to Tenant during its customary hours of operation and 33% will be dedicated and available to Tenant at all times. The Parking Facility will be directly accessible from the interior of the Leased Premises in the locations and by means that are in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings and the Project – Landlord’s Core & Shell Work Plans, as approved by Tenant, and will accommodate 308 parking spaces at locations as depicted in the Parking Lease.

2.3 Condition of Leased Premises: Landlord’s Work.

(a) Landlord agrees to construct and deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant pursuant to the terms set forth in the Work Letter, which by this reference is made a part of this Lease. Though it is intended by the parties that the documents should be consistent and integrated, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Work Letter and the terms of this Lease, the Work Letter shall control.

(b) The parties’ respective obligations under this Lease are contingent upon Landlord obtaining a construction loan from a commercial or savings bank in an amount and on terms satisfactory to Landlord and providing at least 70% of the total cost of the Shall Work and Tenant Improvements as determined pursuant to the Work Letter (the “Construction Loan”). Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts and diligence in pursuit of such Construction Loan. If the Construction Loan closing has not occurred on or before October 31, 2018 (the “Project – Landlord’s Financing Closing Deadline”), Tenant may at its option terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within five (5) business days following the

Project - Landlord’s Financing Closing Deadline, which termination notice shall be effective on the first business day falling on or after (in the event the thirtieth day is a non-business day) thirty (30) days after delivery to Landlord, unless the closing on the Construction Loan has occurred before that termination date. The Construction Loan closing shall be deemed to occur when all documents and deliveries have been executed and made by all necessary parties so that the Construction Loan proceeds are actually made available to Landlord, subject only to conditions on their disbursement and delivery set forth in executed Construction Loan documentation. If Tenant fails to exercise its termination right, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice given to Tenant on or before that date which is thirty (30) days after the Project – Landlord’s Financing Closing Deadline. If neither party has timely exercised its termination right, and if the Construction Loan closing has not occurred on or before that date which is sixty (60) days after the Project – Landlord’s Financing Closing Deadline, then this Lease shall automatically terminate as of such date. Landlord and Tenant agree to work cooperatively in pursuing a commitment for the Construction Loan, with Tenant’s primary obligation being the submission of financial statements reasonably requested by the lender and joining in customary closing documents such as a mutually agreeable SNDA. Landlord will use its best efforts to place the loan with a lender offering terms reasonably suited to the expressed needs of the Project and will keep Tenant regularly apprised of its efforts in that regard.

(c) All deadlines relating to construction milestones shall be provided in the Work Letter, and Schedule 1 Time Deadlines attached thereto.

(d) Landlord covenants and agrees that on or before the deadline set forth in Schedule 1 to the Work Letter, Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work will have occurred (the “Project - Substantial Completion Date”). If the Project - Substantial Completion Date is delayed by between one (1) and ninety (90) days, Tenant will receive credit against future rent payments of one day for every day of delay. If the Project – Substantial Completion Date is delayed by between ninety-one and one hundred eighty (180) days (the one-hundred and eightieth day after the Project – Substantial Completion Date, the “Outside Delivery Date”), Tenant will receive credit against future rent payments of two days for every day of delay. If any delay in Substantial Completion persists beyond the Outside Delivery Date, then Tenant shall receive credit against future rent payments of two days for every day of delay and Tenant shall have the right to pursue all available remedies available to it, including liquidated damages. The Outside Delivery Date shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of delay in the Project - Substantial Completion Date caused by Tenant Delays as enumerated and defined in Section 5.3 of the Work Letter or by Force Majeure.

(e) Upon the effective date of any such notice of termination or other termination under this Section 2.3, this Lease shall automatically terminate and the parties shall have no further liabilities or obligations hereunder, except the Landlord shall immediately repay to Tenant any payments, security deposit or any other funds previously delivered to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to this Lease and except for amounts required to be paid pursuant to subsection 2.3(b). The following shall survive the termination of the Lease, in addition to Landlord’s refund obligation: the parties agree to execute and deliver at the request of the other party a recordable confirmation of such termination within five (5) business days of the other party’s written request.

SECTION 3.0 - TERM

3.1 Initial Term. This Lease shall be for a term of twenty (20) years plus, if the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) is not the first day of the month, the number of days from the Commencement Date to the end of the month in which the Commencement Date falls (any such period, the ’‘Partial Month Period”). The Lease is effective as of its execution and delivery by Landlord and Tenant; however, the Lease Term shall commence on the “Commencement Date,” which shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which Tenant begins to operate its business from the entirety of the Leased Premises or (b) the date on which Landlord has obtained a permanent certificate of occupancy for all of the Leased Premises from the City of Portland and an architect issues an AIA G704-2017 Certificate of Substantial Completion (“Substantial Completion”). For the purposes of clause (a), Landlord acknowledges and agrees that neither (i) the installation of Tenant’s telecommunication wires and equipment and/or the installation of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and other equipment nor (ii) Tenant’s operations pursuant to the License Agreement constitute the operation of its business. The “Rent Commencement Date” shall be the date that is thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have no rent payment obligations hereunder until the Rent Commencement Date, but shall be allowed to take possession of the Leased Premises following issuance of said certificate of occupancy (or prior thereto with the consent of Landlord). Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into a Term Commencement Agreement at the request of either after the Commencement Date, for purposes of confirming the Rent Commencement Date and the termination date of this Lease and any other pertinent items the parties agree to include.

3.2 Option to Extend Lease: Provided the Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not then in material default beyond any applicable notice, grace or cure period, Tenant shall have the right to elect to extend the Initial Term for up to four (4) consecutive, additional five (5) year terms (each, an “Extended Term”) by giving Landlord notice of its election to do so not less than twelve (12) months prior to the beginning of each such Extended Term. The Extended Terms shall be exercised separately and shall be on the same terms and conditions as this Lease except: (i) for Base Rent, which shall be adjusted as set forth below; and (ii) after the last exercised Extended Term there shall be no further renewals of this Lease except as agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant. Base Rent for each Extended Term shall be as agreed by Landlord and Tenant, but if not agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant within ninety (90) days of the date of Tenant’s notice of election to extend, then Base Rent shall be at 90% of the then-current fair market base rental rate for similar office space on the Portland peninsula (which rate shall not include consideration of any Tenant-installed improvements or modifications to the Leased Premises), as such fair market rate established by market appraisals by three (3) Portland-based MAI appraisers. Each party shall, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice of its election to exercise, select an appraiser, who shall have at least five (5) years of experience in appraising commercial properties in the Greater Portland area. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to timely appoint an appraiser the appraiser so appointed shall select a second (2nd) appraiser. The two (2) appraisers shall together select a third appraiser similarly qualified. The three (3) appraisers together shall attempt to agree on the then fair market base rental rate for the Leased Premises discounted in accordance with this Lease; in the absence of a unanimous decision, the fair market base rental rate shall be determined by majority vote. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the cost and expenses of their designated appraiser, and share equally the cost and expenses of the third (3rd) appraiser.

SECTION 4.0 – RENT

4.1 Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord at Landlord’s mailing address identified in Section 1.1, or at such other place as Landlord shall from time to time designate in writing, base rent, as calculated below, in equal monthly installments, and proportionately at such rate for any partial month (“Base Rent”). Payment of Base Rent shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date, unless otherwise delayed as set forth herein, and shall be paid monthly in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term, Payments of Base Rent received more than five (5) days after the due date may be subject to a late payment penalty equal to two percent (2%) of the payment amount for each month the payment is late.

Tenant’s Base Rent for the Leased Premises shall be equal to and fixed at a rate of $26.80 per square foot, based on the net rentable area of the Leased Premises as determined and confirmed by Section 2.1 above, provided, however, in the event the annual interest rate on the Construction Loan exceeds 4.50%, then Base Rent for the Leased Premises shall increase as set forth on Exhibit B up to a maximum rate of $28.49 per square foot, it being the intent hereof that, for purposes of calculating the fixed rate of Base Rent pursuant to this Section 4.1, said annual interest rate shall be capped at 5.50%. Once determined in accordance with the foregoing, the Base Rent shall remain fixed for the first five (5) lease years hereunder, measured from the Rent Commencement Date, Commencing at the inception of the 6^th anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, and annually thereafter, the Base Rent shall esoalate for each remaining year of the Term at the rate of 1% per annum over the prior year’s Base Rent.

Subject at all times to Landlord’s remaining obligations set forth in this Lease and in the Work Letter, including, but not limited to, as set forth in Section 2.3 above, the Leased Premises are anticipated to be completed in stages with the Rent Commencement Date(s) occurring thirty (30) days following Substantial Completion of each stage. The Base Rent coming due at each stage will be a pro-rata allocation of Base Rent based upon the percentage of completion that each such stage represents relative to the overall net rentable area of the completed Project, as determined and confirmed by Section 2.1 above. The allocation for any staged rent due for the Parking Facility is as set forth in the Parking Lease.

4.2 Additional Rent. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant agrees to pay as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”) its pro rata share of all Landlord’s expenses of management fees for the Building, Building casualty and other insurance, common area utilities and common area maintenance charges for the portions of the Building accessible and available to all tenants, subject to limits and controls hereinafter described (“Operating Expenses”), provided, however, that the Leased Premises are intended to be primarily free-standing with minimal common charges. Operating Expenses shall not include capital costs and expenses, as defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), but shall include an annual allocation, not to exceed One-Half Percent (0.5%) of the gross annual rentals at the Building, to repair and replacement reserves during the Term, Management fees for the Building shall not exceed. Three Percent (3%) of the gross annual rents generated by the Building while the Building is managed by Phoenix Management Company, In the event the Building is managed by another company unrelated to the Landlord, the management fee shall not exceed Four Percent of the gross annual rents generated by the Building. Landlord and Tenant agree that water and sewer charges will be

separately metered to the Leased Premises and will not become part of the Operating Expenses; provided, however, that all cost and expense related to separate metering of water and sewer shall be the responsibility of the Landlord. Tenant shall begin paying its pro rata share of Operating Expenses on the Rent Commencement Date. Failure of Tenant to pay any sums required hereunder shall be deemed as a failure to pay rent. Landlord shall estimate the Operating Expenses and shall provide notice thereof at least annually on the anniversary of this Lease. Said estimated Operating Expenses shall be payable in advance on the day that Base Rent is due in installments equal to 1/12 of the estimated Operating Expenses. Each year during the Lease Term and within the ninety (90) days next following the end of each calendar year, Landlord agrees to furnish to Tenant an itemized reconciliation statement in reasonable detail setting forth the total costs included as Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. Based on said itemized statement Landlord shall determine Tenant’s total actual Operating Expenses for such preceding year, and shall make adjustments for underpayment of Tenant’s pro rata share of said Operating Expenses, which underpayment Tenant shall pay with Tenant’s next monthly payment of Tenant’s pro rata share of said Operating Expenses, and for overpayments of Tenant’s pro rata share of said Operating Expenses, which overpayment shall be credited against Tenant’s next monthly payment(s) of Tenant’s pro rata share of said Operating Expenses until such overpayment is exhausted. Payments of additional rent received more than five (5) days after the due date may be subject to a late payment penalty equal to 2% of the payment amount for each month the payment is late.

16.2 Except as provided in the project Core and Shell Standards dated August 2,2018 (“Core and Shell Standards”), and subject to Tenant’s final review and approval, Tenant shall have exclusive rights to signage of all kinds on the entire exterior of the Building, including rooftop areas, during the term of this Lease, as it may be extended. Landlord shall not permit the installation of any signage, logos, symbols or any other such item by any party, including Landlord, on any portion of the exterior of the Building, other than directional signage or address markers, without Tenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Neither Landlord nor any of Landlord’s affiliates will construct or permit the construction of any buildings or improvements on the Site, including but not limited to any hotel facility that will result in unreasonable interference with visibility of Tenant’s signage. Landlord and Tenant agree that any building constructed as Unit 5 (“Hotel Unit”) in accordance with the Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A will not result in unreasonable interference with the visibility of Tenant’s signage; provided, however, that under no circumstances will any buildings constructed on the Site, including the Hotel Unit, interfere with Tenant’s signage so long as Tenant’s signage is placed approximately in accordance with the locations indicated on Exhibit A-1.

16.3 The costs of Tenant’s exterior signage shall be reimbursed as part of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant agrees to maintain all exterior building signage in good condition and repair at all times. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16 or Section 2.3, Landlord will provide, at no cost to Tenant, as part of Landlord’s Work directory signage, suite and other interior identifying signs and interior life safety and code required signage, all of which shall be subject to the approval of Tenant, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The rights in this Section 16 are transferable to any assignee or sublessee of Tenant.

SECTION 17.0 - EMINENT DOMAIN.

17.1 If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain, then this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such taking or purchase and all rent shall be paid up to that date and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord nor the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease and Tenant hereby releases same, provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority only such compensation or damages as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant on account of any and all damage to Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment,, fixtures or other tangible personal property by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss suffered by Tenant in removing and/or moving or relocating Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment, fixtures or other tangible personal property and/or Tenant’s operations at the Leased Premises and any other amounts or damages that are recoverable by Tenant but which do not reduce Landlord’s recovery.

17.2 If any part of the Leased Premises shall be acquired or condemned or purchased as aforesaid and in the event that the Landlord and Tenant reasonably conclude that such partial taking or condemnation or purchase shall render the Leased Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant (taking into account the possibility of reconfiguration of the Leased Premises and the amount of space and parking needed by Tenant), then this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such taking or purchase. If Landlord and Tenant are not able to reasonably agree on whether such partial taking or condemnation or purchase renders the Leased Premises unsuitable as provided above, Landlord and Tenant agree to submit such issue to mediation with such mediator and upon such terms and conditions as they shall agree upon. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease, with the exception of the rights and recoveries and damages of Tenant enumerated in subparagraph (a) above, and the Rent shall be adjusted to the date of such termination. In the event of a partial taking or condemnation or purchase which is not extensive enough in Landlord’s and Tenant’s reasonable opinion (or as determined pursuant to mediation as provided above) to render the Leased Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, then Landlord shall commence within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the proceeds due to such taking (or as soon thereafter as is practical under the circumstances), condemnation or purchase to repair, reconfigure or restore the Leased Premises to the extent reasonably necessary to render the remaining portions of the Leased Premises suitable for the purposes for which the Leased Premises were leased and to reconfigure, as reasonably necessary the remaining portion of the Building to a complete architectural unit including all Landlord’s Work, provided that such work shall not exceed the scope and quality of the work originally required in the construction of the Building, less the portion lost in the taking or purchase. Landlord shall thereafter prosecute the completion of such efforts with due diligence subject further to delays resulting from any force majeure events, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and the Rent payable hereunder from and after said taking or purchase and completion of the restoration shall be proportionately adjusted on a per square foot basis in relation to the areas of the Leased Premises that are practically or actually unusable due to the taking or purchase or due to the restoration work or both. If, during the course of such restoration, Tenant is deprived of the use of any or all of the Leased Premises, the Rent shall be abated during the period of deprivation in proportion to the portion of the Leased Premises made untenantable. Landlord’s efforts to restore hereunder shall be further subject to and expressly limited by the applicable restrictions, ordinances, requirements and regulations imposed or enacted since the date of Landlord’s Work by duly constituted public authorities and to the amount and availability of the condemnation proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in the Lease to the contrary, if after the beginning of the last Lease Year of the term (taking into account Tenant’s extension rights and after an opportunity is provided to Tenant to exercise

same), there occurs an event of a partial taking or condemnation or purchase that requires under this Section 17.2 that the Leased Premises be restored and/or reconfigured and such taking or condemnation results in an impact on the Leased Premises that is the equivalent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of their insurable value, Landlord or Tenant may nonetheless, if it shall so elect, terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of the actual taking and this Lease shall thereupon terminate, and a just proportion of the Rent shall be apportioned as of the time of termination.

17.3 Upon completion of any repair and restoration by Landlord, Tenant shall, at its expense, promptly commence repair and replacement of all trade fixtures, equipment, signs and other property installed by or belonging to Tenant which shall have been damaged or destroyed or shall be in need of reconfiguration and shall complete the same with due diligence, but in all cases accounting for changes in the configuration of the Leased Premises and Tenant’s then-current plans for the Leased Premises and expressly limited by the applicable restrictions, ordinances, requirements and regulations imposed or enacted since the date of Landlord’s Work by duly constituted public authorities. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or for any injury or interruption to the business of Tenant resulting from any casualty, Landlord’s repair or restoration work or delays related thereto so long as Landlord is diligently pursuing restoration and repair.

17.4 Subject to the force majeure provisions of this Lease, if Landlord undertakes repair or restoration work under this Section 17 and any substantial portion of the to-be restored and/or reconfigured Leased Premises remains untenantable, inaccessible, or otherwise unsuitable for the Permitted Use, for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the Landlord’s receipt of sufficient condemnation proceeds, and as of the end of this period, there is not a substantial likelihood that Landlord shall substantially complete restoration, reconfiguration and/or other required repairs within forty-five (45) days from that date such that the restoration, reconfiguration and/or other required repairs will be substantially complete by the end of such forty-five (45)day period, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord, which notice shall be effective only if received by Landlord after said one hundred and eighty ( 180) day period but before the date of substantial completion. Such termination shall be effective on the later of (i) 60 days after its receipt by Landlord and (ii) 270 days from the date of Tenant’s actual loss of use of any such portion of the Leased Premises due to taking or purchase covered by this Section 17, unless substantial completion occurs before such effective date. In the event of such termination, Tenant shall have no claim against the Landlord nor the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease and Tenant hereby releases same, provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority only such compensation or damages as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant on account of any and all damage to Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment, fixtures or other tangible personal property by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss suffered by Tenant in removing and/or moving or relocating Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment, fixtures or other tangible personal property and/or Tenant’s operations at the Leased Premises and any other amounts or damages that are recoverable by Tenant but which do not reduce Landlord’s recovery.

17.5 Upon the effective date of any termination under this Section 17, this Lease shall automatically terminate and the parties shall have no further liabilities or obligations hereunder, except the Landlord shall immediately repay to Tenant any unearned payments, security deposit or any other prepaid funds previously delivered to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

SECTION 18.0 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

18.1 If the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, shall be damaged by fire, the elements, or other casualty, then Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord promptly following such occurrence, and except as hereinafter otherwise provided, and subject to the provisions of any mortgage(s) given by Landlord encumbering the Leased Premises as any such mortgage(s) may be affected by a non-disturbance agreement from the holder of any such mortgage, Landlord shall commence, within thirty (30) days after the date of the actual receipt (by Landlord or its mortgagee) of insurance proceeds related thereto, to restore and repair the Leased Premises to the condition it was prior to the casualty (including all of Landlord’s Work, but expressly limited by the applicable restrictions, ordinances, requirements and regulations imposed or enacted since the date of Landlord’s Work by duly constituted public authorities) and shall thereafter prosecute the completion of such restoration and repair with due diligence. Landlord and Tenant agree that they will promptly and diligently pursue any applicable insurance proceeds that may be due in connection with any aforementioned occurrence. If the damage to the Leased Premises shall render the whole or any part thereof unusable for Tenant’s use, a just proportion of the Rent, according to the nature and extent of the damage to the Leased Premises, shall be abated from the date of such damage until the Leased Premises or such part thereof shall be restored for the use and occupation of Tenant. Landlord’s efforts to so repair shall be expressly limited to the net amount of the proceeds from insurance (after deducting therefrom the reasonable costs of collecting said proceeds) which Landlord (or its mortgagee) receives as a result of such casualty. However if the limitation in the preceding sentence results in Landlord not being able to fully restore and repair the damage, Tenant may, but shall not be obligated to, loan to Landlord the balance of funds needed to complete such restoration on such terms and conditions deemed reasonable in Landlord’s sole discretion (including security therefor), such loan to be evidenced by a Note with interest accruing during the term thereof at a rate equal to 2% over the then prevailing prime rate of interest as reported in the Wall Street Journal, to be repaid from the proceeds of any refinancing of the Leased Premises and on other terms agreeable to the parties. Tenant shall promptly and fully cooperate in Landlord’s efforts to collect insurance proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Lease to the contrary, if after the beginning of the last Lease Year of the term (taking into account Tenant’s extension rights and after an opportunity is provided to Tenant to exercise same), the Leased Premises shall be so damaged or destroyed to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of its insurable value, Landlord or Tenant may, if it shall so elect in its sole discretion, terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within ninety (90) days after Landlord’s receipt of notice of any such casualty and this Lease shall thereupon terminate, and a just proportion of the Rent shall be apportioned as of the time of termination.

18.2 Upon completion of any repair and restoration by Landlord, Tenant shall, at its expense, promptly commence repair and replacement of all trade fixtures, equipment, signs and other property installed by or belonging to Tenant which shall have been damaged or destroyed and shall complete the same with due diligence, but in all cases accounting for changes in the configuration of the Leased Premises and Tenant’s then-current plans for the Leased Premises and expressly limited by the applicable restrictions, ordinances, requirements and regulations imposed or enacted since the date of Landlord’s Work by duly constituted public authorities. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or for any injury or interruption to the business of Tenant resulting from any casualty, Landlord’s repair or restoration work or delays related thereto so long as Landlord is diligently pursuing restoration and repair in a commercially reasonable manner.

18.3 Subject to the force majeure provisions of this Lease, if Landlord undertakes repair or restoration work under this Section 18 and any substantial portion of the Leased Premises remains untenantable, inaccessible, or otherwise unsuitable for the permitted use on account of fire or other casualty, for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the casualty and as of the end of this period, there is not a substantial likelihood that Landlord shall substantially complete restoration and/or other required repairs within forty-five (45) days from that date such that the repairs and restoration will be substantially complete by the end of such forty-five (45) day period, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord, which notice shall be effective only if received by Landlord after said one hundred eighty (180) day period, but before the date of substantial completion. Such termination shall be effective on the later of (i) 60 days after its receipt by Landlord and (ii) 270 days from the date of Tenant’s actual loss of use of any such portion of the Leased Premises due to damage covered by this Section 18, unless substantial completion occurs before such effective date.

18.4 Upon the effective date of any termination under this Section 18, this Lease shall automatically terminate and the parties shall have no further liabilities or obligations hereunder, except the Landlord shall immediately repay to Tenant any unearned payments, security deposit or any other prepayment funds previously delivered to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

SECTION 19.0 - ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING. Tenant may assign or sublet this Lease only after receiving the prior express written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, however, Tenant, without such consent, may assign this Lease in its entirety or sublease a portion of this Lease or Leased Premises to any affiliate, subsidiary or entity that is under direct common control with Tenant or to any entity that acquires all or a substantial portion of Tenant’s business. In any case where Landlord’s consent is required and Landlord shall so consent to such assignment or sublease or such assignment or sublease is permitted hereunder, Tenant (to the extent Tenant continues to exist as an entity after such event) shall remain fully liable to Landlord for all of the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease, including without limitation, the obligation to pay the rent and other charges and shall retain any profit realized from the assignment or sublease. No pledge by Tenant of its interests hereunder as full or partial security for loans obtained by Tenant shall be considered an assignment or sublease hereunder. In addition to the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Section 19 to the contrary, Tenant may, without the need to obtain the Landlord’s consent, transfer any stock in connection with a public offering and/or if the Tenant’s stock is publicly traded on a recognized national or international stock exchange or over the counter, issue, redeem or transfer any stock or membership interests through a private placement offering or any other transfer to effectuate a capital infusion into Tenant and/or make assignment of such interests to a holding entity created for the purposes thereof.

SECTION 20.0 - ACCESS BY LANDLORD. Landlord or any person designated by Landlord shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises at any reasonable time during normal business hours, upon 48 hours prior notice (except in ease of emergency), for the purpose of inspecting the Leased Premises or to make repairs. For a period commencing one (1) year prior to the end of the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enter the

Leased Premises at any reasonable times, for the purpose of exhibiting the same to prospective tenants or purchasers and shall have the right to erect a suitable sign on the Leased Premises indicating that the Leased Premises are available for sale or lease. Landlord’s right of entry shall be conditioned upon Landlord’s agreement to use its best efforts not to unreasonably disturb Tenant’s business, customers or operations. In exercising its rights hereunder, Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Leased Premises and shall at all times respect the privacy and dignity of Tenant’s patients and the confidentiality of such patients’ records, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. For protection of Landlord, Tenant and their agents and employees, Landlord’s entry into laboratory or sensitive areas identified by Tenant shall be permitted only so long as Landlord or its agents and contractors are accompanied by an employee or agent of Tenant and have, if requested, entered into Tenant’s standard form of Non- Disclosure Agreement. In any event, if, as a result of Landlord’s entry and any repairs, alterations or additions, Tenant is unable to use all or any portion of the Leased Premises for more than three (3) consecutive business days, then, commencing on the fourth (4^th) business day, the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated based on the square footage of the affected area from and including the fourth (4^th) business day to and including the day on such inability ceases.

SECTION 21.0 - SUBORDINATION. This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgages that may now exist or hereafter be placed upon the Leased Premises by Landlord, and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and all renewals, replacements, and extensions thereof, and Tenant shall, upon request, execute and deliver any documents to confirm this subordination, as may be desired by holders of such mortgages, and if requested by the mortgagee, to agree not to prepay rent more than ten (10) days in advance of the date when due, provided that the holder of such mortgage enters into a non-disturbance agreement with Tenant in form and substance that is reasonably acceptable to as described below, by the terms of which such holder agrees not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant continues to perform all obligations under this Lease, and, in the event of acquisition of title by such holder through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, to accept Tenant as tenant of the Leased Premises under the terms and conditions of this Lease and to perform Landlord’s obligations under this Lease (but only while owner of the Leased Premises), and Tenant agrees to attorn to and recognize such holder or any other person acquiring title to the Leased Premises as Landlord. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from its lender or mortgagee in conjunction with its Construction Loan and permanent loan closing (for each closing, 5 days after such closing is the “SNDA Deadline”), in a form and content to be negotiated and reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Landlord’s lender, and Tenant; provided that the foregoing subordination shall be effective only if and when a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement reasonably acceptable to Tenant is entered into in on or before the SNDA Deadline.

SECTION 22.0 - ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Landlord and Tenant agree, upon at least ten (10) days prior written request by the other party, from time to time, to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the other party a written statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or that the same is in full force and effect as modified, listing the modifications), the date to which rent and other charges have been paid, and whether or not to the best of the knowledge of the party signing the estoppel certificate the other party is in default hereunder (and if so, specifying the

nature of the default), it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 22 may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser or mortgagee of landlord’s interest, or an assignee or subtenant of Tenant’s interest, in the Leased Premises.

SECTION 23.0 - DEFAULT BY TENANT. The following events shall be events of default by Tenant under this Lease:

23.1 Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of rent, or any other payment to Landlord or other parties required herein, when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice specifying such failure and demanding the same be cured, provided, however, that no notice shall be required for failure by Tenant to pay Base Rent more than twice in any twelve month period;

23.2 Tenant shall become insolvent or make a transfer of a substantial portion of its assets without Landlord’s consent;

23.3 A petition shall be filed against Tenant under any state or federal bankruptcy of insolvency laws or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state, and not discharged within ninety (90) days after such filing, or Tenant shall file such petition, or Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in any proceeding;

23.4 Any assignment shall be made of the property of Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or other similar officer shall be appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property, or the estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law;

23.5 Tenant shall fail to comply with any covenant, term, or provision of this Lease (other than the payment of rent and other charges) and shall not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such failure and demanding that the same be cured, unless such failure cannot be cured by the payment of money and cannot with due diligence be wholly cured within such period of thirty (30) days, in which case Tenant shall have such longer period as shall be necessary (but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days) to cure such failure, so long as Tenant promptly commences to cure the same within such thirty (30) day period and prosecutes the cure to completion with due diligence.

In ease of any such default which is uncured within any applicable cure or grace period (an “event of default”), and regardless of any waiver or consent to any earlier event of default, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, unless such default has been cured prior to exercise of such remedy, may exercise any and all remedies available to Landlord at law or equity, all of such remedies to be cumulative and not exclusive, including, without limitation, the following:

(a) Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant, and Tenant shall quit and surrender the Leased Premises and remain liable as set forth below:

(b) Landlord may immediately, or at any subsequent time, without demand or further notice, re-enter the Leased Premises in accordance with applicable laws and repossess the Leased Premises and expel Tenant and those claiming under Tenant, and Landlord may remove any property from the Leased Premises and store the same in any warehouse, all at the expense and risk of Tenant, or may dispose of the same in accordance with applicable law.

(c) In the event of termination or re-entry after an event of default, Tenant shall pay Landlord as damages all rent and other charges payable under this Lease up to the time of re-entry or termination, and all rent that Tenant would have been required to pay until the expiration of the then-current term of this Lease as follows: such rent shall be payable upon the due dates and in the amounts specified herein following such termination or such re-entry and until the end of the then-current term, had this Lease not so terminated or had Landlord not so re-entered the Leased Premises, provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Leased Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the monthly net rents received by Landlord from such re-letting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting, the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease or in re-entering the Leased Premises and in securing possession thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as the reasonable expenses of reletting, including altering and preparing the Leased Premises for new tenants, reasonable brokers’ commissions, and all other reasonable expenses properly chargeable against the Leased Premises and the rental thereof. It is acknowledged that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease, and that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, or shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this paragraph to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord. If the Leased Premises or any part thereof be relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the term of this Lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such re-letting shall be presumed the fair and reasonable rental value for the Leased Premises, or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting. In the event of termination or re-entry after an event of default, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Leased Premises under commercially reasonable terms. Any suit brought by Landlord to recover the damages due under this Section 22 shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to recover in any subsequent action brought for any amount not previously reduced to judgment.

Nothing herein contained shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damage referred to above. Tenant hereby waives any right to redemption that it may have under any present or future law in the event Tenant is evicted or dispossessed.

In addition to other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder, in the event that Landlord commences any suit (including any alternative dispute processes such as mediation or arbitration) for the collection of any amounts for which the Tenant may be in default or related to any claim of Tenant default in the performance of any other covenant or agreement hereunder, Tenant shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable expenses incurred by the Landlord should it be the prevailing party and/or collecting such amounts or enforcing such performance, plus interest thereon at the highest legal rate, not to exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum.

SECTION 23.0A - DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. If Landlord shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, which failure shall continue for thirty (30) days (or any shorter period as may be specifically provided herein) after notice thereof by Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to enforce any one or more of the following remedies, without limiting any other rights Tenant may have:

(a) If all or any part of the Premises becomes unfit for Tenant’s normal use, then Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated for such time period as the Premises are unfit, in proportion to the part of the Premises which are not usable by Tenant, and

(b) Recover damages or any other sums owed by appropriate means, obtain injunctive relief, and/or exercise any other right or remedy legally available.

(c) Tenant may, at its option, without waiving any claim for damages for breach of agreement, at any time prior to the cure of a material default by Landlord which impairs the Tenant’s use of the Premises, cure such default for the account of Landlord and any amount paid or any contractual liability incurred by Tenant in so doing shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Landlord and Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant therefore and save Tenant harmless there from. If Landlord shall fail to promptly reimburse Tenant upon demand for any amount paid or liability incurred for the account of Landlord hereunder, said amount or liability may be deducted by Tenant from the next or any succeeding payments of rent due hereunder.

In addition to other rights and remedies of Tenant hereunder, in the event that Tenant commences any suit (including any alternative dispute processes such as mediation or arbitration) for the collection of any amounts for which the Landlord may be in default or related to any claim of Landlord default in the performance of any other covenant or agreement hereunder, Landlord shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable expenses incurred by the Tenant should it be the prevailing party and/or collecting such amounts or enforcing such performance, plus interest thereon at the highest legal rate, not to exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum.

SECTION 24.0 - REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS, ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Tenant shall pay to and indemnify Landlord against all commercially reasonable legal costs and charges, including attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred, in obtaining possession of the Leased Premises after an event of default by Tenant after the giving of any applicable notice or after Tenant’s default in surrendering possession upon the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease or in successfully enforcing any obligation or covenant of Tenant.

SECTION 25.0 – BROKERS. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants that it has not entered into any agreement with, nor otherwise had any dealings with, any broker or agent in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Lease which could form the basis of any claim by any such broker or agent for a brokerage fee or commission, finder’s fee, or any other compensation of any kind or nature in connection herewith, except for Landlord’s obligations to CBRE/The Xxxxxx Company pursuant to written agreement which Landlord shall perform, it being the

intent hereof that Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for any and all commissions or fees that are due to said CBRE/The Xxxxxx Company in connection with this Lease. Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any costs (including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys’ fees), expenses or liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any broker or agent other than those, if any, listed above in this Section 25 with respect to this Lease which arise out of any agreement or dealings, or alleged agreement or dealings, between the applicable party and any such agent or broker.

SECTION 26.0 – GUARANTY. It is a condition to Landlord’s obligations hereunder that Tenant deliver to Landlord a guaranty from Tenant’s parent company, Direct Vet Marketing, Inc. (the “Guarantor”) of all of Tenant’s obligations under and pursuant to this Lease, in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Guaranty”). Tenant acknowledges that Landlord would not have entered into this Lease in the absence thereof. The contemplated business combination between Guarantor and divisions of Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Inc. to form Vet’s First Corp. is hereby approved by Landlord and will require no additional consent or notice to Landlord provided, however, that, if requested by either party, Landlord and Guarantor shall enter into an amendment and, if applicable, assignment of the Guarantee to memorialize the above terms.

SECTION 27.0 – RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER (“ROFO”). Landlord agrees that if at any time during the Term of this Lease, as extended or renewed, Landlord desires to sell the Building, or, in the case that the Leased Premises are a severable and separate and financeable real estate unit, such as a condominium unit, then the Leased Premises (for purposes of this ROFO, the subject of such offer and this Section 27 shall be called “Leased Premises”), Landlord shall first offer to sell the Leased Premises to Tenant upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) Landlord shall send Tenant written notice (“Landlord’s Sale Notice”) of its offer to sell the Leased Premises, which notice shall set forth a sales price in US Dollars and the proposed terms of such sale in the form of a proposed purchase and sale agreement in the customary form for the Leased Premises (the “Purchase Agreement”). Any purported Landlord’s Sale Notice that does not constitute a formal offer to sell the Leased Premises in accordance with this Section 27 shall not constitute a Landlord’s Sale Notice and no time period begins to run. The proposed terms of such sale shall include the following:

(i) Closing. The closing shall take place on or before the date which is ninety (90) days after the date of full execution of Landlord’s proposed purchase and sale agreement, at 10:00 a.m., at the offices of Landlord’s counsel in Portland, Maine, or at such other time and place as Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon in writing (the “Closing”). At the Closing, Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant, against payment of the purchase price, a Quitclaim with Covenant Deed and other documents and instruments customary in similar transactions or as reasonably requested by Tenant. The purchase price shall be payable in cash, certified check or wire transfer, with no owner financing unless agreed to by Landlord and otherwise Tenant’s obligation to close by the Closing date to be conditioned upon Tenant obtaining a commercial loan on normal and customary terms that are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Tenant within forty-five (45) days from the date of full execution of Landlord’s proposed purchase and sale agreement, it being understood that Tenant must give written notice to Landlord of its failure to obtain a commitment for such a loan from a lending institution within such 45-day period or such condition shall be deemed waived. Rent payments paid under this Lease shall not be applied to the purchase price.

(ii) Title. Landlord shall at the Closing convey the Leased Premises to Tenant (or its assignee) at the closing in fee simple with good and marketable title, subject to covenants, easements, agreements, restrictions and like matters of record that do not adversely affect the Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises, or, if any such matters do exist, for which satisfactory (to Tenant) affirmative title insurance coverage can be obtained at no additional premium. In the event that Landlord is unable to convey title as aforesaid, Landlord shall, within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, after receipt of notice of any such defects from Tenant, use its commercially reasonable efforts to remedy any title defects. In the event that said defects cannot be corrected or remedied within said time period, Tenant shall have the option to either terminate the Purchase Agreement or to close notwithstanding such defects as may exist. A portion of the purchase price may be applied to remove any title defects or encumbrances (including mortgages) that may be removed by the payment of money.

(iii) Adjustments, Prorations and Closing Costs. If necessary, real estate taxes and assessments shall be prorated as of the Closing on the basis of the latest available tax xxxx. The Maine real estate transfer tax shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant in accordance with 36 M.R.S.A. 4641-A. The recording fee for the deed of conveyance and any expenses related to any mortgage which Tenant may grant to a lender in connection with the purchase of the Leased Premises shall be paid for by Tenant. Landlord shall refund to Tenant any unearned Base Rent and Additional Rent for the remaining portion of the month following the closing date. Landlord and Tenant shall be individually responsible for any brokers’ commissions due from them to brokers they incur obligations to in connection with the sale of the Leased Premises. Any Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated as of the Closing and the Lease shall be at the option of Tenant terminated at Closing. The parties shall upon request of the other as necessary make post-closing adjustments of Operating Expenses at the time of final reconciliation of same.

(iv) Possession. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant at the Closing, free of all leases, tenancies or occupancies by any person other than Tenant, subtenants of Tenant and any other leases or occupancies expressly approved in writing by Tenant.

(v) Risk of Loss, Damage, Destruction and Insurance. All risk of loss to the Leased Premises prior to the Closing shall be on Landlord, and Landlord shall keep the same insured against fire and other extended coverage risks as provided under this Lease until the Closing. In the event that, after the date of Tenant’s Purchase Notice but prior to the Closing, any improvements which are part of the Leased Premises are destroyed or substantially damaged, Tenant may either terminate this Lease and/or the purchase agreement or accept the insurance proceeds payable by reason of such damage or destruction and close notwithstanding the same.

(vi) Tenant Default. If Tenant shall default on its obligation to close on the purchase of the Leased Premises for any reason other than Landlord default, title defects, condemnation or casualty, Tenant shall pay to Landlord liquidated damages in the amount of the lesser of; (i) Landlord’s actual and verifiable costs and fees (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by Landlord and directly related to preparation for Closing; and (ii) $25,000 as Landlord’s sole remedy for such default in lieu of all other claims, legal, equitable or otherwise, by Landlord, the parties agreeing that Landlord’s damages in such a case will be extremely difficult to ascertain and determine and that the foregoing amount represents fairly a reasonable payment in lieu of payment of Landlord’s actual damages, In such event of Tenant Default, the Lease shall continue, but without the ROFO, and the default under the Purchase Agreement shall not constitute a default under the Lease.

(vii) Landlord Default. If Landlord shall permit the existence of an encumbrance or title defect that shall make it impossible for Landlord to convey clear title to the Leased Premises, or if Landlord shall default in its obligation to close on the purchase of the Leased Premises for any reason, Tenant may (i) seek specific performance of the Purchase Agreement in a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) terminate the Purchase Agreement and this Lease shall continue in accordance with its terms, including the ROFO.

(b) Upon Tenant’s receipt of a proper Landlord’s Sale Notice, Tenant shall have the right to purchase the Leased Premises upon those terms offered or upon such terms as the parties otherwise agree upon within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s proper Sale Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), If Tenant desires to purchase upon the terms offered, or wishes to engage in negotiations of such terms with Landlord, Tenant shall send written notice to Landlord of either it’s acceptance of such offer (which may be evidenced by an executed Purchase Agreement) or its desire to negotiate, in its sole discretion (“Tenant’s Purchase Notice”). Any right Tenant may have to purchase the Leased Premises pursuant to this Section 27 shall be terminated if Tenant fails to send Tenant’s Purchase Notice within such period. In the event Tenant accepts Landlord’s terms, then the parties shall proceed pursuant to the purchase and sale terms offered and accepted; in the event Tenant desires to negotiate, then the following shall apply:

(i) Tenant must prior to the end of the Negotiation Period make a written counter offer to Landlord to purchase the Leased Premises in the form of a Purchase Agreement and otherwise in accordance with this ROFO and the parties agree to negotiate such counter offer terms in good faith during such Negotiation Period.

(ii) If the parties do reach terms within the Negotiation Period, then the parties shall proceed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement terms agreed to.

(iii) If the parties do not reach agreement within the Negotiation Period, Tenant’s last-received (by Landlord) written counteroffer shall be deemed Tenant’s “Last Best Offer” (and if no written counteroffer is made by Tenant within the Negotiation Period, then Tenant’s Last Best Offer price shall be considered to be $0). Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to sell the Leased Premises free of this ROFO in accordance with the following: During the eighteen (18) months following the end of the Negotiation Period, Landlord may sell the Leased

Premises at a gross purchase price in US Dollars that is more than ninety (90%) percent of the Tenant’s Last Best Offer purchase price, such sale to be free of this ROFO. Variations in term other than gross purchase price, to the extent not commercially unreasonable (e.g., financing contingencies, inspections and representations and warranties or the lack thereof) shall not be a part of the determination of whether the offer is at or above the Tenant’s Last Best Offer. Tenant agrees that Landlord may provide a copy of Tenant’s Last Best Offer to prospective purchasers.

(iv) If Landlord receives an offer at a gross purchase price in US Dollars equal to or less than ninety (90%) percent of the purchase price contained in Tenant’s Last Best Offer that Landlord is willing to accept, Landlord must provide a written copy of such offer to Tenant and Tenant shall have ten (10) days from receipt thereof within which to agree in writing to agree to the terms set out in such offer. If such an offer that Landlord is willing to accept contains a purchase price that is in whole or in part stated in other than US Dollars, and if Tenant desires to purchase the Leased Premises on the terms of such offer, Tenant shall be entitled to substitute for any non-US Dollar consideration the fair equivalent in US Dollars. If notice of such written agreement of Tenant is not received by Landlord within said ten (10) days, Tenant’s right to agree to such terms shall terminate and Landlord may sell the Leased Premises pursuant to such offer and this ROFO shall automatically terminate as of the closing on the sale. If the Leased Premises is not sold within said eighteen (18) months, this ROFO to continue in full force and effect.

(v) If Tenant is obligated to close under this ROFO, this ROFO shall terminate automatically upon the closing of the sale of the Leased Premises or upon Tenant’s default in its obligation to close under any written agreement of the parties.

(c) If this ROFO has been terminated pursuant to its terms, Tenant agrees to confirm the termination of the ROFO in writing and in recordable form upon Landlord’s request.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 27 to the contrary, the terms and provisions of this ROFO shall not apply to a transfer or transfers by Landlord (i) for no consideration pursuant to the operation of law (ii) by gift, (iii) for no cash consideration to an affiliated entity or an entity under common control and ownership, or (iv) by mortgage, but the ROFO shall continue and shall bind such transferees of Landlord.

WORK LETTER

This Tenant Work Letter shall set forth the terms and conditions agreed to by and between Landlord and Tenant relating to the construction of the base, shell, and core along with the tenant improvements in the Leased Premises. This Tenant Work Letter is organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Building and Leased Premises. Capitalized terms contained in this Work Letter and not defined herein have the same definition herein as in the Lease. This Work Letter is part of the Lease and incorporated therein.

SECTION 1

LANDLORD’S INITIAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE LEASED PREMISES

In accordance with the Core and Shell Standards and exterior elevations and building design plans attached hereto as Work Letter Attachment 1, the Allocation of Responsibility matrix attached hereto as Work Letter Attachment 2, Floor Plans dated August 2, 2018, as prepared by Archetype Architects attached hereto as Work Letter Attachment 3 and the Core and Shell Standards dated August 2, 2018 attached hereto as Work Letter Attachment 4 (“Core and Shell Standards”) (all of which are subject to revision only as described herein), Landlord shall construct the base, core and shell of the Building (including all exterior and interior common areas), the Parking Facility and all accesses, common areas, ways and other features necessary for the practical usefulness of the Leased Premises (the “Shell Work”). The cost of completing the Shell Work shall be exclusively borne by the Landlord. Except as specifically provided herein, under no circumstances will the Base Rent or Additional Rent (as defined in the Lease) be increased to cover any cost overages related to the Shell Work. There shall be no material changes to Work Letter Attachments 1, 2, 3 or 4 or the exterior and interior design and layout of the Building, the Leased Premises or the Parking Facility by Landlord or its agents without the prior written consent of Tenant.

SECTION 2

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

2.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”), of eighty-five dollars ($85) per square foot contained in the Leased Premises for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant’s Improvements (the “Tenant Improvements”). Tenant’s Improvements shall not include any Shell Work. If the Tenant Improvements plus any additional costs of any change orders total more than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then that amount shall be considered the “Over-Allowance Amount.” Such Over-Allowance Amount shall be paid by reimbursement to Landlord in whole or part within fifteen (15) days of the date Tenant receives an itemized and certified statement from Landlord documenting (i) the calculation and back-up information concerning the Over-Allowance Amount; and (ii) Landlord’s expenditure of the entire Tenant Improvement Allowance. It is the intent of the parties that Tenant shall be responsible for

the whole of the Over-Allowance Amount, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord and Tenant, but that Tenant will have no obligation to pay the Over-Allowance Amount until Landlord has exhausted the full amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. If the Tenant Improvement costs are less than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then the Base Rent shall be decreased to reflect the savings using the same methodology that would be used for any Over-Allowance Amount (that is, the savings would be amortized over the same term as the permanent financing obtained by Landlord for the Project to determine the per square foot dollar reduction).

2.1.1 All Tenant Improvements for which the Tenant Improvement Allowance has been made available shall be deemed Landlord’s property under the terms of the Lease except as provided in the Lease and herein. Nothing in this Work Letter shall be deemed to modify Tenant’s rights to remove its trade fixtures, specialized equipment and personal property at my time during the term of the Lease, provided in all events that Tenant shall restore the Premises to its prior condition and repair any damage caused by said removal.

2.1.2 The Tenant Improvements and the Shell Work are hereinafter referred to together as the “Landlord’s Work.”

2.2 Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Except as otherwise set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord (each of which disbursements shall be made pursuant to Landlord’s disbursement process) only for the following items and costs (collectively, the “Tenant Improvement Allowance Items”):

2.2.1 Payment or reimbursement to Tenant of the fees of the “Architect” and the “Engineers,” as those terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter and payment of the fees incurred by, and the cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord’s consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the “Construction Drawings” as that term is defined in Section 3.1 of this Tenant Work Letter;

2.2.2 The payment or reimbursement to Tenant of Tenant’s costs related to plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Tenant Improvements;

2.2.3 Insofar as they are part of an approved set of Construction Drawings and Cost Proposal, the cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, testing and inspection costs, freight elevator usage, hoisting and trash removal costs, materials and equipment costs and contractors’ fees and general conditions;

2.2.4 Insofar as they are part of an approved set of Construction Drawings and Cost Proposal, the cost of any changes in the Base, Shell and Core when such changes are required by the Construction Drawings, such cost to include all direct architectural and/or engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;

2.2.5 Insofar as they are part of an approved set of an Construction Drawings and Cost Proposal, the cost of connection of the Leased Premises to the Building’s energy management systems;

2.2.6 Insofar as they are part of an approved set of Construction Drawings and Cost Proposal, all other costs to be expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

2.3 Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall construct all Shell Work and Tenant Improvements in and to the Leased Premises that are required to prepare the same for Tenant’s occupancy in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings, as defined in Section 3.3 below. Such plans shall include itemized cost estimates with respect to the Tenant Improvements.

2.3.1 Signage. The cost of designing, manufacturing and installing the signs described in the Core and Shell Standards shall be carried in Landlord’s Core and Shell budget as a Landlord obligation. All other signage requested by Tenant, shall be charged to Tenant Improvement Allowance and paid in accordance with the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance set out above in 2.1.

SECTION 3

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

3.1 Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Tenant, in its sole discretion, shall retain an architect/space planner (the “Architect”) to prepare the “Construction Drawings” for Tenant Improvements, as that term is defined in this Section 3.1. Tenant, in its sole discretion, shall retain engineering consultants (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, lifesafety, and sprinkler work of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant’s obligations under this Work Letter insofar as they concern producing Construction Drawings and plans for Tenant’s Improvements are subject to and conditioned upon Landlord providing to Tenant, the Architect and Engineers, prior to Tenant’s preparation of Construction Drawings, all final Plans for the Shell Work that are sufficient and complete enough for Tenant’s purposes (the “Shell Work Plans”). Landlord shall provide the Shell Work Plans by the Pharmacy – Landlord’s Core & Shell Work Plans Deadline set out in Schedule 1 to this Work Letter. All deadlines for Tenant’s production of the Final Space Plan and Final Working Drawings and Approved Working Drawings will be automatically extended by one day for each day of delay beyond the Pharmacy – Landlord’s Core & Shell Work Plans Deadline in delivering Shell Work Plans to Tenant.

3.1.1 The plans and drawings (including the Final Space Plan and Final Tenant Working Drawings, as those terms arc defined below) to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers and approved hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” Tenant shall be required to include in its contracts with the Architect and the Engineers a provision which requires ownership of all Construction Drawings to be transferred to Tenant upon the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a non-exclusive right to use

such Construction Drawings, including, without limitation, a right to make copies thereof. All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications as determined by Landlord. Tenant’s Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the base Building plans provided by Landlord, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith.

3.2 Final Space Plan. Tenant and the Architect shall prepare the final space plan for Tenant Improvements in the Leased Premises (collectively, the “Final Space Plan”), which Final Space Plan shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein, and shall deliver the Final Space Plan to Landlord for Landlord’s approval.

If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect of the Final Space Plans, Landlord will advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor within five (5) business days after receipt. Tenant will then submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, within fifteen (15) business days, a redesign of the Space Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably required by Landlord. This process will be repeated until the Final Space Plans are mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant.

3.3 Final Working Drawings. On or before the Pharmacy – Tenant Deadline for Final Tenant Improvement Working Drawings to Landlord set forth in Schedule 1, Tenant, the Architect and the Engineers shall, based on the Final Space Plan and Construction Drawings, complete a minimum of Eighty Percent (80%) of the architectural and engineering drawings for the Tenant Improvements in the Leased Premises and the final architectural working drawings in a form that is sufficient to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Final Working Drawings”) and shall submit a complete draft set of the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval.

If Landlord disapproves any aspect of the Final Working Drawings, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor within ten (10) business days after receipt. Tenant shall then cause the Architect to address the Landlord’s disapproval the Final Working Drawings, incorporating the revisions requested by Landlord, and within fifteen (15) business days resubmit the same to Landlord for approval. Timing is of the essence in reaching agreement on the Final Working Drawings and the parties here to agree to proceed in good faith to reach agreement on the Final Working Drawings. This process will be repeated until the Final Working Drawings are mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant. The Final Working Drawings, once approved in writing by both Landlord and Tenant, shall be referred to herein as the “Approved Working Drawings.”

3.3.1 If despite good-faith efforts of the parties, less than Eighty Percent (80%) of the Final Working Drawings are agreed to on or before the Pharmacy - Approved Working Drawings Deadline on Schedule 1, then, as the parties’ sole remedy, all deadlines for Landlord’s and Tenant’s performance shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of delay until an agreement is reached.

3.4 Permits. Landlord, prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, shall immediately submit the Approved Working Drawings to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits necessary to allow “Contractor,” as that term is defined in Section 4.1, below, to commence and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Permits”), and shall pursue obtaining the Permits with diligence. In connection therewith, Landlord shall coordinate with Tenant in order to allow Tenant, at its option, to take part in all phases of the permitting process and shall supply Tenant, as soon as possible, with all plan check numbers and dates of submittal. The Permits shall be applied for, pursued and obtained at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.

3.5 Time Deadlines. Tenant and Landlord shall use best, good faith, efforts and all due diligence to cooperate with the Architect, the Engineers, and each other to complete all phases of the Construction Drawings and the permitting process and to receive the Permits, and with Contractor for approval of the “Cost Proposal,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2 of this Tenant Work Letter, as soon as possible after the execution of the Lease, and, in that regard, Landlord and Tenant shall meet on a scheduled basis to be determined by mutual agreement, to discuss progress in connection with the same. The applicable dates for approval of items, plans and drawings as described in this Section 3, Section 4, below, and in this Tenant Work Letter are set forth and further elaborated upon in Schedule 1 (the “Time Deadlines”), attached hereto. Tenant and Landlord agree to comply with the Time Deadlines.

3.6. Approval Process. Neither party where its consent or approval is required shall unreasonably withhold or condition its consent or approval to any plans, contracts, or other documents and shall, as applicable, deliver its written notice of approval thereof or the specific changes to be made thereto within the deadlines set out in this Work Letter. In all cases, if the parties do not approve plans, etc. that require their approval, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly and in good faith negotiate the making of changes thereto which would render the applicable plans, etc. acceptable to both parties. When the applicable plans, etc. have been approved by Landlord and Tenant, such plans, etc. will be confirmed as final upon the request of the other party Landlord and Tenant shall initial counterparts thereof and they shall automatically, if applicable, become a part of this Lease and shall substitute for the any preliminary or draft plans, etc. that are attached or otherwise made a part of this Lease or this Work Letter.

SECTION 4

4.1 Contractor. The Contractor for the Core and Shell shall also serve as the Contractor for the Tenant Improvements.

4.2 Cost Proposal. Upon receipt of Approved Working Drawings, Landlord shall by the Pharmacy – Tenant Improvement Cost Proposal Delivery Deadline set out in Schedule 1, provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred by Landlord in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Cost Proposal”). Tenant shall review and deliver its approval or disapproval to the Cost Proposal to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of the same, and upon receipt of the same by Landlord. If Tenant disapproves any aspect of the

Cost Proposal, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor within said timeframe. Landlord shall then endeavor to address the Tenant’s disapproval by revisions to or adjustments to the Cost Proposal, incorporating the revisions requested by Tenant, and within fifteen (15) business days resubmit the same to Tenant for approval. Timing is of the essence in reaching agreement on the Cost Proposal and the parties here to agree to proceed in good faith to reach agreement on the Cost Proposal. This process will be repeated until the Cost Proposal is mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant. The approved Cost Proposal shall be referred to herein as the “Approved Cost Proposal.”

4.2.1 The date upon which Tenant and Landlord have approved the Approved Cost Proposal shall be known hereafter as the “Approved Cost Proposal Delivery Date”, Landlord shall be permitted to purchase the items set forth in the Approved Cost Proposal and to commence the construction relating to such items upon the Approved Cost Proposal Delivery Date.

4.3 Construction of Tenant Improvements under the Supervision of Landlord.

4.3.1 Over-Allowance Amount. In the event that, after the Cost Proposal Delivery Date, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to the Approved Working Drawings or the Tenant Improvements, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or substitutions shall be included as an addition (or, as the case may be, a subtraction) to the Tenant Improvement Amount and to the extent the result is an Over-Allowance Amount, it shall be subject to payment as provided in Section 2.1 above.

4.3.2 Contractor Bid Obligations. Promptly after the completion of the Approved Working Drawings, Landlord shall release Contractor to solicit bids for the anticipated construction pursuant to Section 4.3.4, below. Those individual bids shall be submitted to Tenant for approval and Tenant shall have fifteen (15) business days to notify Landlord of the bids selected by Tenant, or its disapproval of the bids. If Tenant disapproves of the bids due to price or other material matter, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor within said timeframe. Landlord shall then endeavor to address the Tenant’s disapproval by revisions to or adjustments to the bids or some of them, incorporating the revisions requested by Tenant, and within fifteen (15) business days resubmit the same to Tenant for approval. Timing is of the essence in reaching agreement on the bids and the parties here to agree to proceed in good faith to reach agreement on the bid. This process will be repeated until Tenant selects a bid.

4.3.3 Selected Bid. Upon Tenant approval of the bids, Landlord shall enter into a construction contract with the Contractor for the construction of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the selected bid, the Approved Working Drawings (subject to the following sentence) and the Cost Proposal and Landlord shall execute a separate contract for the Tenant Improvements which will be the AIA’s AI33–2009, Standard Form of Agreement Between Landlord and Construction Manager as Constructor where the basis of payment is Cost of the Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price. The AIA general conditions document A201-2007 will be incorporated by reference into the construction contract. The contract for construction of the Tenant Improvements, herein, shall be the “TI Construction Contract.”

The TI Construction Contract will be for the agreed upon price set out in the selected bid the terms and conditions of which shall be reasonably acceptable to Tenant, a copy of which shall be provided to Tenant. The Tenant Improvement Allowance and all other costs related to the selected bid shall be the responsibility of Landlord to pay and satisfy in full, subject to the terms of Section 2.2 above.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Tenant Work Letter to the contrary, construction of the Tenant Improvements shall not commence until (a) Landlord has a fully executed and delivered TI Construction Contract with Contractor for the construction of the Tenant Improvements and (b) Landlord has procured and delivered to Tenant a copy of all Permits.

4.3.4 Subcontractor Pricing under the TI Construction Contract. Subject at all times to the terms and conditions of this Work Letter, pricing under construction documents (including the TI Construction Contract) shall be “open book”. The TI Construction Contract Contractor shall submit to Tenant a list of recommended subcontractors and suppliers for Tenant’s review and approval. Contractor shall not be required to solicit bids from subcontractors and suppliers to which it has reasonable objection. The Contractor shall use best efforts to obtain qualified bids from subcontractors and suppliers of materials or equipment for the completion of Landlord’s Work in accordance with the following:

•

Scopes of work $25,000 or less: One (1) quote minimum.

•

Scopes of work $25,001-$ 100,000: Two (2) quotes minimum.

•

Scopes of work greater than $100,000: Three (3) quotes minimum provided, however, that two (2) quotes shall suffice in the event that the Contractor, exercising reasonable diligence, cannot find three (3) subcontractors or suppliers willing and able to provide such quotes in a timely manner.

Subcontractor and supplier agreements not in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) may be awarded without prior approval of Tenant. This does not, however, include changes in the work completed pursuant to such agreements.

The Contractor will provide its recommendation on which subcontractor or supplier should be selected for each sub-trade, together with copies of all bids received and a tabulation of the bids for such sub-trade.

The Contractor will be required to inform Landlord and Tenant of its use of said contingency. The status of said contingency and the record of use of said contingency shall be submitted monthly with each application for payment. The monthly requisition is to be fully substantiated and provided to Tenant for review and approval. Information required within each requisition must include:

•

All subcontractor, material supplier and service provider invoices included in the requisition. Supporting documentation must reconcile with each line item amount invoiced for the period on the G-703 continuation sheet for requisitions to be approved and process.

If Tenant desires to make a change in the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for its approval, a detailed description of the proposed change; Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold or condition its approval so long as such requested change will not result in a delay in completion of construction beyond the date required by Landlord’s construction financing. Within three (3) business days after receipt of the change request, Landlord shall notify Tenant of its approval or disapproval unless Landlord shall reasonably request an extension of time to seven (7) business days for approval or disapproval; if Landlord fails to notify Tenant of its decision within said seven (7) business day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved it. Upon approval or deemed approval of the change, said change shall be submitted to the contractor performing the Tenant Improvements for a determination of the cost to implement the change (taking into account any savings generated by the change) and the impact, if any, on Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work; Landlord shall use its best efforts to have contractor to provide such determination to Tenant within five (5) business days after receipt of the change request. If Tenant approves the change order cost and the impact, if any, on the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written change order memorializing their agreement. If the change order(s), when taken together, result in an

increase in the cost of the Tenant improvements, then Tenant agrees to pay the increase to Landlord as set forth in Section 2.1; and if the change order(s), when taken together, result in a decrease in the Cost Proposal, then Landlord shall make a further adjustment in the Base Rent to reflect such decrease.

Capitalized terms not herein defined have the meanings ascribed to them in a lease between the parties here to for the space at 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, dated at near or even date herewith (the “Pharmacy Lease”) designated as Unit 2 (the “Pharmacy”). Where the terms of this Lease and the Pharmacy Lease conflict, the terms of the Pharmacy Lease will control.

1. RENTAL. The Lessee promises to pay to Lessor gross rent in the amount of ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY DOLLARS ($170.00) per month, per space, payable in advance on the first day of each month, without notice, demand or set-off, commencing on the day following the date a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the City of Portland to Lessor. Lessee may immediately initiate parking for all allocated spaces, or it may phase its parking commensurate with the number of spaces allocated to its Pharmacy following thirty (30) days’ advance notice to Lessor, provided it shall be responsible for all leased spaces allocated to the Pharmacy upon Substantial Completion of the Pharmacy. Lessor may adjust the rental due hereunder on each annual anniversary of the “Parking Rent Commencement Date” which is the date on which Lessee first initiated its parking for the Pharmacy, or was obligated for parking rent for the Pharmacy. Rent increases may not result in rent which exceeds the lesser of i) the average monthly rental for all leasehold tenants at the Parking Facility, or ii) the fair market rent for the parking facilities located within Portland’s Downtown District identified on Schedule 1.

2. TERM: This Lease shall be effective and binding upon full execution; the term hereunder shall commence on the day following the Parking Rent Commencement Date and then run concurrently with the initial Term and any Extended Terms of the Pharmacy Lease; provided that notwithstanding any terms in the Pharmacy Lease to the contrary, Lessee may elect to terminate this Lease at any time upon 90 days prior notice,

BREACH: If the Lessee shall fail to pay rent when due or shall fail to keep or perform any of the covenants herein, then Lessor, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have, shall have, after notice and cure rights as are set out in the Building Lease, the immediate right to re-enter the Leased Parking Space(s) to remove all persons and property therefrom, to store all such property at the cost of Lessee, all without service, notice or resort to legal process, and without being deemed guilty of trespass or liable for loss or damage occasioned thereby. No such re-entry shall be construed as a termination of this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Lessee. This Lease’s grant of rights to Lessee includes in case of Lessor’s breach in its obligation to provide open and available spaces as is provided herein the right of Lessee to require Lessor to enforce by restrictions, signage, or any other necessary steps to assure that at all times set out in this Lease, the Leased Parking Spaces are actually open and available to Lessee. In addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies of Lessee for Lessor’s breach of this Lease, appropriate abatements shall be made in the rent hereunder in the event that due to Lessor’s breach hereunder any Leased Parking Spaces are not available to the extent required hereunder.

16. WAIVER: The waiver by Lessee or Lessor of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition on any subsequent breach of the same, or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted.

17. SEVERANCE: Should any term or provision of this Lease, or portion thereof, be determined invalid or unenforceable under law, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions herein.

18. LIMITATION OF LESSOR’S LIABILITY: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, any liability for damage or breach or nonperformance by Lessor shall be collectible only out of Lessor’s interest in the Parking Facility or Lessor’s insurance and no deficiency judgment may be taken against any partner, officer, agent or employee of Lessor, and no personal liability is assumed by, nor at any time may be asserted against, Lessor or any of its partners, officers, agents, employees, legal representatives, successors or assigns; all such liability, if any, being expressly waived and released by Lessee. If Lessor shall transfer, assign or convey the Parking Facility at any time, then upon the effective date thereof, Lessor shall have no further liability or obligations hereunder, and Lessee agrees to look solely to Lessor’s successor in interest for the performance of Lessor’s obligations and covenants hereunder. This paragraph shall not limit any right that Lessee might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief (including without limit an order of specific performance) against Lessor or Lessor’s successors in interest, or any other action not involving the personal liability of Lessor, including exercise of any self-help or similar rights hereunder. In no event shall Lessor or Lessee ever be liable to the other for any indirect or consequential damages.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused the Lease to be executed to the day and year first above written.
