2. LEASE OF PREMISES
2.1
LEASE OF PREMISES. In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and of the other terms, covenants and conditions in
this Lease, Landlord hereby lets and demises the Leased Premises to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases the Leased Premises from Landlord
for the Lease Term, all upon the terms and conditions in this Lease. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and Tenant’s
observance of the terms hereof, Tenant shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy, and enjoy the Leased Premises during the Lease
Term without hindrance or molestation by Landlord or any person(s) claiming under Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to install
and maintain within the walls, columns and suspended ceilings of the Leased Premises, wires, pipes, cables, flues, ducts and conduits
for ventilation, heating, air conditioning, water, gas, sewer, drains, sprinklers and electricity, leading to other portions of
the Building and to have access thereto at all reasonable times through the Leased Premises for the purpose of installing, inspecting,
maintaining, repairing and replacing the same. Such installation and maintenance shall be accomplished so as to minimize any detrimental
effect upon Tenant’s operation of the Leased Premises. Landlord also reserves the right at any time during the Lease Term
to reconfigure, alter and change the Building and Property, excluding the Leased Premises, provided, however, that such reconfiguration,
alteration or change shall not materially adversely interfere with Tenant’s operations in the Leased Premises, the number
of parking spaces required by local zoning for the Building, ingress or egress to the Leased Premises and any loading docks and
truck access, or utilities and/or mechanical serving the Leased Premises. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference
with Tenant’s business during any such work and shall diligently pursue such work to completion.
Except
as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall accept the Leased Premises on the Delivery Date in its “AS-IS”
condition, subject to all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, covenants and restrictions, and Landlord shall have no obligation
to perform or pay for any repair or other work therein except for the Landlord Work. Landlord has made no representation or warranty
as to the suitability of the Leased Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty
that the Premises are suitable for Tenant’s intended purposes. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN
THIS LEASE, IT HAS INSPECTED AND ACCEPTS THE LEASED PREMISES IN AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” CONDITION, (2) THE BUILDING AND
IMPROVEMENTS COMPRISING THE SAME ARE SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE LEASED PREMISES ARE LEASED; AND (3) LANDLORD HAS MADE
NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, COVENANT, OR AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE
OF THE LEASED PREMISES,, (4) THE LEASED PREMISES IS IN GOOD AND SATISFACTORY CONDITION, (5) NO REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE REPAIR
OF THE LEASED PREMISES, NOR PROMISES TO ALTER, REMODEL OR IMPROVE THE LEASED PREMISES HAVE BEEN MADE BY LANDLORD, AND (6) THERE
ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE LEASED PREMISES.
Except as otherwise may expressly be provided herein, in no event shall Landlord have any obligation for any defects in the Leased
Premises or any limitation on its use. The taking of possession of the Leased Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant
accepts the Leased Premises and that the Leased Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken except for Landlord’s
Work, items that are Landlord’s responsibility hereunder and any punch-list items agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant.
2.2
Extension Options. Tenant shall have the option (“Extension
Option”) to extend the term of the Lease for two (2) terms of five (5) years each (each an “Extension Term”).
Each such Extension Term shall begin the first day following the expiration of the then current Term. Tenant shall have the right
to exercise the extension option conferred herein by giving Landlord notice at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of
the initial Term of the then current Extension Term; provided that, at the time of exercise no Event of Default has occurred and
remains uncured, and Tenant has not assigned the Lease other than to a successor permitted under this Lease without Landlord’s
consent.
The
Extension Option shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in the Lease, except that Minimum Rent during each
Extension Term shall be at one hundred percent (100%) of Market Rent. “Market Rent” shall be the anticipated rate
in effect for the Leased Premises as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Term based upon the rents generally in effect
for leases of space for comparable buildings in the Route 3 R&D flex market of equivalent quality, size, utility and location,
taking into account the length of the term, the credit standing of the tenant, any tenant inducements, and all other relevant
factors. In the event that Tenant shall exercise an Extension Option, then the Market Rent shall be agreed upon in a meeting of
the parties hereto held at least two hundred forty (240) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term or first Extension Term,
as applicable. If the parties are able to agree on an amount of Market Rent that is mutually satisfactory, then such agreements
shall be placed in writing and shall be signed by the parties hereto and shall thereupon become a part of this Lease.
If
the parties hereto are unable to agree upon the Market Rent at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the commencement of
the Extension Term, then the disagreement shall be promptly submitted to arbitration by Tenant. Tenant’s failure to submit
this dispute to arbitration at least one hundred sixty-five (165) days prior to the commencement of the Extension Term shall be
deemed an acceptance of the last estimate of Market Rent offered by Landlord. If Tenant does timely file for arbitration, each
party shall select an arbitrator having not less than ten (10) years’ actual experience in the commercial real estate brokerage
business in the Route 3 R&D flex market, and the arbitrators so selected shall immediately meet for the purpose of hearing
and deciding the dispute and fixing the relevant rate of rent. If the two arbitrators selected agree on Market Rent, their decision
shall be binding on both parties. If the two arbitrators selected cannot agree on the Market Rent within ten (10) business days
after appointment (the “Initial Review Period”), but the rates differ by less than five percent (5%), the Market Rent
shall be the average of the two rates. If the rates differ by more than five percent (5%), no later than five (5) business days
following the expiration of the Initial Review Period, the two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator with qualifications
similar to their own. Within ten (10) business days following appointment, the third arbitrator shall select one of the two rental
rates promulgated by the first two arbitrators as the Market Rent, it being agreed that the third arbitrator shall not have the
right to take an average or select another rent as the Market Rent. If the arbitrators cannot agree on the third arbitrator, they
shall petition the presiding judge of the local state court having jurisdiction to appoint such arbitrator to act as an umpire
between the arbitrators selected by Landlord and Tenant. The decision of the third arbitrator or presiding judge, as the case
may be, shall be binding on both parties. Landlord and Tenant shall each be responsible to pay their respective arbitrators and
will share equally the cost of the third arbitrator.
2.3
Expansion Option. Tenant shall have the right, subject to and
upon the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3, to lease that portion of the Building comprised of approximately 9,000 rentable
square feet and shown on Exhibit “A-1” attached hereto (the “Machine Shop Area”), currently leased to
Tecnau. Tenant may deliver written notice to Landlord at any time between March 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021 exercising such
option to lease the Machine Shop Area (the “Notice Period”), and in such case Landlord shall deliver the Machine Shop
Area to Tenant, in vacant, broom clean condition, with the HVAC and other systems serving the Machine Shop Area in good working
order, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of such written notice to Landlord (the “Notice Period”),
but in no event will such delivery occur prior to March 1, 2020. If Tenant timely delivers such notice, then the Expansion Premises
shall be added to the Leased Premises and they shall be subject to all terms, conditions and covenants of the Lease; and minimum
rent, and Tenant’s Pro Rata share shall be proportionately increased and adjusted in accordance with the increased square
footage. Landlord will supply an additional Tenant Improvement allowance of $15 per square foot, pro-rated for the then remaining
lease term. Within fifteen (15) days of such notice from Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and amendment to this Lease
to memorialize such expansion. Provided that the Tecnau completes such relocation within the Notice Period and leaves the Machine
Shop Area in broom-clean condition, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for Tecnau’s paid and documented relocation expenses
up to $25,000. If Landlord has not delivered the Machine Shop Area in the condition required by this Section 2.3 within the Notice
Period, and if such failure continues for an additional 15 days thereafter, then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against
Minimum Rent due only with respect to the Machine Shop Area on a day-by-day basis for each one (1) day thereafter until the Landlord
delivers the Machine Shop Area to Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to timely give such notice on or before December 31, 2021, Tenant
shall be deemed to have waived such right, and Landlord shall thereafter be free to lease the Expansion Premises to such parties
and on such terms as Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 2.4 below.
It
shall be a condition to Tenant’s right to exercise the option to lease the Expansion Premises that Tenant (i) is not in
default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) under the terms of this Lease, (ii) has not subleased twenty-five percent
(25%) of the Leased Premises, and (iii) has not assigned the Lease, in either case except in connection with a transaction permitted
without Landlord’s consent under this Lease.
2.4
Right of First Refusal. Provided no Event of Default exists and Tenant has not assigned this Lease and is not then subleasing
more than twenty-five percent (25%) any portion of the Leased Premises, prior to renting to a third party any space in the Building
available for lease (“Available Space”), at such time as Landlord has received an offer to lease space in the Building
that Landlord is willing to accept, prior to signing a lease with any third party on such terms including, without limitation,
any proposed extension of the existing Tecnau lease beyond the current expiration date, Landlord will first deliver a written
notice to Tenant offering to lease the Available Space to Tenant, including a description of the Available Space and the rental
and other economic and materials terms for such Available Space (“Offered Lease Terms”). On or before the date that
is seven (7) business days after the date of Landlord’s submission of the Offered Lease Terms, Tenant shall have the right
(“First Refusal Right”) to send Landlord a written notice in accordance with the requirements of Section 22.4 stating
that Tenant irrevocably elects to rent such Available Space. If Tenant timely delivers such notice, Landlord shall lease to Tenant
the Available Space upon the Offered Lease Terms, except as follows:
(x)
if the Available Space is offered by Landlord to Tenant within the
first twenty- four (24) months after the Delivery Date, the lease of such Available Space shall be upon all of the terms, conditions
and covenants of this Lease, and Minimum Rent, and Tenant’s Pro Rata share shall be proportionately increased and adjusted
in accordance with the increased square footage, and Landlord will supply an additional Tenant Improvement allowance of $15 per
square foot, pro-rated for the then remaining lease term;
(y)
if the Available Space is offered by Landlord to Tenant within the last twenty- four (24) months of the Lease Term, the lease
of such Available Space shall be upon all of the Offered Lease Terms, and the term of this Lease with respect to the original
Premises will be extended to be coterminous with the lease term of the Available Space, and the extended term after the then remaining
term of the original Premises shall be upon the Offered Lease Terms as applied to the original Premises; and
(z)
if the Available Space is offered by Landlord to Tenant at any time other than during the periods set forth in clauses (x) and
(y), the lease of such Available Space shall be upon all of the Offered Lease Terms, and the term of this Lease with respect to
the original Premises will be extended to be coterminous with the lease term of the Available Space upon all the same terms and
conditions of this Lease, including Annual Minimum Rent, which shall continue to increase annually in the same fashion as during
the initial term.
If
Tenant elects not to lease the Available Space or if said notification is not so given timely delivered by Tenant, then Landlord
shall be free to lease the Available Space within three hundred sixty-five (365) days thereafter, upon terms (including without
limitation, Minimum Rent, leasable area, etc.) that are no less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the economic terms that were
offered to Tenant. This Right of First Refusal shall remain in full force and effect throughout the Term and any extensions or
renewals, unless, and until such time as, the Tenant declines an offer to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to
a particular offered Available Space, but such right
shall continue with respect
to any portion of
the Building that
has not previously
been so offered. This
Right of First
Refusal is superior to
any other rights granted to any
third parties.
If
Tenant duly and timely exercises the First Refusal Right, Tenant and Landlord shall, within ten (10) days after Tenant’s
exercise of the First Refusal Right, execute an amendment to this Lease covering the Available Space, the rental therefor, Tenant’s
Pro Rata Share and such other changes as may be required to reflect that such Available Space is being leased to Tenant.
ARTICLE
3. MINIMUM RENT
3.1 MINIMUM
RENT. Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay the Minimum Rent as set forth in Section 1.1 to Landlord as
rent for the Leased Premises. Monthly installments of Minimum Rent shall be payable without setoff or deduction, without notice
or demand, in advance, on or before the Rent Commencement Date and on the first day of each subsequent calendar month during the
Lease Term. Minimum Rent for any partial month shall be prorated on a per diem basis. Minimum Rent shall be paid at Landlord’s
Address or at such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.
3.2 SECURITY
DEPOSIT. Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall at its option, (i) pay to Landlord a security deposit or (ii)
deliver to Landlord an irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “Original Letter of Credit”) which shall be (i) in the form
of Exhibit_ attached to this Lease (the “Form LC”), (ii) issued by creditworthy banking institution having a net worth
of not less than Five Billion ($5,000,000,000.00) Dollars reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (Landlord hereby approving Silicon Valley
Bank as issuer of the Letter of Credit), in the amount of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000). The Security Deposit shall
be held by Landlord for the performance of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood that
the Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord’s damage in case of default
by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the
Security Deposit to the extent reasonably necessary to cure such Event of Default. Any remaining balance of the Security Deposit shall
be returned by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the term of this Lease. Provided that no Event
of Default has occurred, Landlord agrees that following the second full year of Tenant paying Minimum Rent that the Security deposit
may be reduced to Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000).
ARTICLE
4. TAXES
4.1
TAXES. Throughout the Lease Term from and after the Rent Commencement

Estate Taxes (general or special) and other ad valorem taxes on tangible property, assessments, water and sewer rents and charges
and other governmental charges (other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes), which are assessed, levied, confirmed,
imposed or become a lien upon the Property at any time with respect to the Lease Term. Impositions shall not include any franchise,
excise, transaction, sales, income or privilege taxes. Impositions also include Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorney’s fees) in contesting or attempting to reduce any taxes provided such costs and expenses
are based upon a percentage of the savings and/or reductions received and are passed through to Tenant at the time such savings
and/or reductions are received. Any Imposition relating to a fiscal period of the taxing authority part of which is prior to the
Rent Commencement Date or after the end of the Lease Term, shall be adjusted between Landlord and Tenant so that Landlord pays
the prorated portion of such Imposition attributable to the portion of such fiscal period prior to the Rent Commencement Date
or after the end of the Lease Term. If Landlord elects to pay assessments on the Property in a lump sum, Tenant shall only be
responsible for its portion of the amount of the assessment that would have been due had Landlord paid the assessments in installments
if such option were available to Landlord.
4.2
PAYMENT. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on the Rent
Commencement Date and the first day of each following month during the Lease Term one-twelfth (1 /12th) of Landlord’s then
current estimate of the annual amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Impositions. Landlord may reasonably revise such estimate
but no more often than biannually, and subsequent payments by Tenant will be based upon Landlord’s reasonable revised estimate.

(iv) A
sum not to exceed four percent (4.00%) of annual gross income for management of the Property, together with amounts accrued for

costs of alterations, capital repairs, capital replacements, capital improvements, equipment replacement and other items which

item or service which Tenant pays directly to a third party or separately reimburses to Landlord (other than as an Operating Expense)
and expenses incurred by Landlord to the extent the same are reimbursable or reimbursed (other than as an Operating Expense) from
any other tenants, occupants of the property, or third parties; (xv) salaries of, benefits and other compensation paid to employees
of Landlord and or Landlord’s managing agent above the grade of “building manager” as such term is commonly
understood in the property management industry, provided all salaries, benefits and other compensation otherwise allowed to be
included in Operating Expenses shall also exclude any portion of such costs related to any such employee’s time not spent
directly in the operation of the Building; (xvi) expenses incurred by Landlord for repairs or other work occasioned by fire, windstorm,
or other insurable casualty or by condemnation, to the extent of insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds received by Landlord;

5.3 Tenant’s
Pro Rata Share of the costs and expenses set forth in Section 5.01 shall be computed by multiplying the whole of the Operating
Expenses by Tenant’s Pro Rata Share.
5.4 ESTIMATED
PAYMENTS. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on the first day of each
month during the Lease Term one-twelfth (1/12th) of Landlord’s estimate of the amount of Operating Expenses payable by Tenant
under Section 5.1 during the subject calendar year or partial calendar year (the “Estimated Operating Expenses”).
The Estimated Operating Expenses are subject to revision according to the further provisions of this Section and Section 5.4.
Fifteen (15) days prior to the close of the applicable calendar year, Landlord will give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s
estimate of the amounts payable under Section 5.1 for the ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of each month during
the ensuing calendar year. Tenant will pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of such amount: however, if such notice is not given
within such 15-day period. Tenant will continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the month after such
notice is given. In the month Tenant first pays Landlord’s new estimate, Tenant will pay to Landlord the difference between
the new estimate and the amount payable to Landlord for the prior year’s estimate, for each month which has elapsed since
the end of the prior calendar year. If at any time or times it reasonably appears to Landlord that the amount payable under Section
5.1 for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord’s Estimated Operating Expenses, then Landlord may, by written
notice to Tenant, but no more often than biannually, revise Landlord’s estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by
Tenant for such year will be based upon Landlord’s reasonable revised estimate.
5.5 ANNUAL
SETTLEMENT. Prior to April 15 of each year Landlord will deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual amounts payable under Section
4.2 and Section 5.1 for the preceding calendar year (the ‘Adjustment Statement”). Such Adjustment Statement will be
final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant unless Tenant objects in writing to Landlord within one hundred twenty (120) days after
it is given to Tenant. If such statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is less than the estimated payments made by Tenant
for such calendar year, the excess will be held by Landlord and credited against the next payment of Rent; however, if the Lease
Term has ended and Tenant was not in default at its end beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord will refund the
excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days after mailing the applicable Adjustment Statement to Tenant. If such Adjustment Statement
shows an amount owing by Tenant that is more than the estimated payments made by Tenant for such calendar year and Tenant does
not dispute such Adjustment Statement, Tenant will pay the deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after the delivery of such Adjustment
Statement. Landlord will maintain accurate books and records of Operating Expenses and Impositions. Upon Tenant’s written
request, Landlord shall make available to Tenant and Tenant’s agents, employees and accountants, for inspection from time
to time during business hours in the management office, Landlord’s records of such Operating Expenses and Impositions. Tenant
shall be entitled to photocopy such information as Tenant requires in order to check or verify such Operating Expenses and Impositions.
Any audit conducted by Tenant shall be performed at Tenant’s sole expense, unless the result of such audit establishes that
Tenant has been overcharged by more than five percent (5%) of the amount which should have been charged, in which event Landlord
shall pay for the actual cost of such audit up to Two Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500), provided that such audit
was done on a reasonable hourly fee basis and not a contingency or percentage basis.
5.6 FINAL
PRORATION. If this Lease ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount payable by Tenant under Section
5.1 for the calendar year in which this Lease ends will be calculated on the basis of the number of days of the Lease Term falling
within such calendar year, and Tenant’s obligation to pay the amount so determined will survive the expiration or other
termination of this Lease.
5.7 ADDITIONAL
RENT. Amounts payable by Tenant under Articles 4 and 5 will be payable as Additional Rent, without offset or deduction. If Tenant
fails to pay any amounts due according to this Article,
Landlord will have all
rights and remedies
available to it on
account of Tenant’s failure
to pay Rent.

have occurred but for such Tenant Delay. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable speed and
diligence to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work on or before the Anticipated Delivery Date. If Substantial Completion of

days thereafter) and Landlord has obtained all necessary inspections and approval from governmental authorities and the Leased
Premises may be legally occupied.

relating to the design, construction, acquisition and installation of the Tenant Improvements to be installed in the Leased Premises,
including without limitation, architectural and engineering fees, licenses, permits and the costs of any and all plans and specifications

of the Tenant Improvements by all governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Premises and such invoices, certifications,
affidavits, lien releases and other documentation as Landlord may reasonably request, to be assured, to Landlord’s reasonable
satisfaction, that the Tenant Improvements have been completed in compliance with all laws and, if applicable, in accordance with
the plans and specifications approved by Landlord and have been paid for by Tenant. Landlord shall have the option to either pay
such expenses directly or to have Tenant be responsible for paying such expenses. Tenant will be responsible for paying all costs
of the Tenant Improvements in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. If the Tenant Improvement allowance is not fully used
by the first anniversary of the Delivery Date or the cost of the Tenant Improvements is less than the Tenant Improvement Allowance,
such money shall remain the sole property of Landlord and shall be forfeited and no longer offered. Tenant shall not be given
any such surplus in cash or allowed to use such surplus in any manner. Landlord shall pay to Tenant (or if determined by Landlord
directly to Tenant’s general contractor), the Tenant Improvement Allowance in multiple disbursements (but not more than
once in any calendar month), following the receipt by Landlord of the following items:

Completed Application for Payment to Tenant (or, if determined otherwise by Landlord, directly to Tenant’s general contractor)
within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s submission of the Completed Application for Payment.

7.4 ENVIRONMENTAL
MATTERS.
(a) Hazardous
Substances - Landlord. Landlord makes no representation to Tenant as to whether or not the Property contains any Hazardous
Substances. Asbestos containing materials in any portion of the Building disturbed by Tenant shall be removed, if required by
law, by Tenant in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Landlord represents and warrants that the Building is in compliance
with all Legal Requirements relating to Hazardous Substances, and, subject to Tenant’s obligations under paragraph (b) below,
Landlord shall, without cost to Tenant, (i) cause the Building to comply with all Legal Requirements pertaining to Hazardous Substances
and (ii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant from and against any and all damage, claim, liability or loss, including reasonable

Substances - Tenant. Tenant represents to Landlord that during the Lease Term it will comply with all Legal Requirements concerning
Hazardous Substances (including those of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). If it is determined that Tenant has caused
Hazardous Substances to be placed on the Property in violation of state or federal regulations or which result in action by either
local, state or federal environmental agencies (other than a Hazardous Substance generated or disposed of by Landlord), then Tenant
shall fully remedy such problem within 30 days following such determination (except in the event such remediation work reasonably
requires a longer period of time to be completed and Tenant commences such remediation work within 21 days following such determination
and continues diligently thereafter with such work, then such 30 day period shall be extended for such additional time as is necessary
to accomplish such remediation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall be allowed to store, handle
and use quantities of Hazardous Substances normally associated with Tenant’s normal business operations so long as Tenant
maintains compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements regarding the same.
(c)

of Tenant’s actual knowledge and belief without inquiry. Any Environmental Disclosures delivered in accordance with the
foregoing provisions may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagees of Landlord, or any prospective assignee of any mortgagee,
or any prospective and/or subsequent purchaser or transferee of all or a part of Landlord’s interest in the Property or
the Leased Premises, as the case may be.

8. COMMON AREAS
8.1 RIGHT
OF USE. Landlord grants to Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, customers and other invitees, a non-exclusive license for
the Lease Term to use the Common Areas. Such use shall be in common with Landlord, other occupants of the Property and their respective
employees, agents, servants, customers, and invitees, except when Common Areas are being repaired, altered or reconstructed, and
except as provided hereinafter. Tenant shall not at any time interfere with the rights of Landlord or others entitled to use of
Common Areas. Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not (i) display, sell, lease, store or offer for sale
or lease, any merchandise and/or services within the Common Areas, or (ii) permit any vehicle over which it has control to be
parked in areas other than in areas designated for its parking on Exhibit A.
8.2 COMMON
AREA MANAGEMENT. Notwithstanding Section 8.1, all Common Areas furnished by Landlord shall be subject to the reasonable control
and management of Landlord, who shall have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time to establish, modify and enforce
reasonable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Tenant shall abide by all such rules and regulations. Landlord further
reserves the right to change, relocate, rearrange, and to restrict or eliminate the use of any Common Areas, and do such other
acts in and to Common Areas to change the location of improvements as Landlord shall determine. In addition to and not in limitation
of the rights of Landlord set forth in Article 2.1 hereof, Landlord reserves the right to reduce or enlarge the Building or Common
Areas from time to time by demolishing or constructing improvements on portions of the Property and by including adjacent land
within or removing land from the Property, and constructing on any such additional land buildings or Common Areas. Any new buildings,
properties and Common Areas shall be part of the Property for all purposes and, at the election of Landlord, Operating Expenses
shall be applicable to the new area and all improvements now or hereafter constructed thereon; provided that Tenant’s Pro
Rata Share shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any additional Rentable Area added to the Building. Until Landlord makes
such election, Operating Expenses shall continue as though such enlargement had not occurred. Landlord shall have the right to
build or relocate improvements on the Property as Landlord desires. All such actions, including such action or inaction as to
rules and regulations for the Common Areas, shall not be deemed an eviction of Tenant or a disturbance of Tenant’s use and
enjoyment of the Leased Premises, provided, however, that such actions under this Section 8.2 shall not materially adversely interfere
with Tenant’s operations in the Leased Premises, the number of parking spaces required by local zoning for the Building,
ingress or egress to the Leased Premises and any loading docks and truck access, or utilities and/or mechanical serving the Leased
Premises. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business during any such work and
shall diligently pursue such work to completion.
ARTICLE

replacement) (collectively “Operating Expense Items”): (i) roof, (ii) exterior walls, including but not limited to
any awnings, (iii) foundation and structural portions of the Building, (iv) all plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems located

employees, invitees or contractors, Tenant shall pay the cost of such repair and/or replacement, subject however, to Section 13.2
below, to the extent caused by such Tenant negligence or willful misconduct.

tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted. Tenant shall enter into a service agreement to maintain the HVAC system exclusively
servicing the Leased Premises and provide Landlord with a copy thereof prior to the Delivery Date. Subject to Tenant’s performance

Throughout the Lease Term after the Delivery Date, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay, prior to delinquency, the costs and charges
for all utilities, including but not limited to gas, electricity, water and sewer used and consumed by Tenant, its employees,
agents, servants, customers and other invitees in the Leased Premises. Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall keep meters and
installation equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; failure to do so shall allow
Landlord to cause such meters and equipment to be replaced or repaired, and collect the cost thereof from Tenant as Additional
Rent. Tenant shall obtain separate metering of utilities and to the extent possible shall contract for such utilities in its own
name. If permitted by the utility companies, gas will be metered to the Tenant. If the utility company will not separately meter
gas (at Landlord’s expense) then gas will be submetered. Landlord will endeavor that electric and water/sewer will be sub-metered
to Tenant. If any utility cannot be separately metered or separately determined, Tenant agrees to pay its share thereof, which
shall be determined by a flow meter or other device to be installed by Landlord which would indicate or accurately estimate Tenant’s
actual usage.
10.2 AVAILABILITY
OF SERVICES. Landlord does not warrant or guarantee the continued availability of any or all of the utility services necessary
or desirable for the use of the Leased Premises by Tenant. The interruption, diminution or cessation of such availability shall
not be construed as an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement of its Rent obligations
under this Lease on account thereof. Landlord reserves the right to stop the service of utilities when, in Landlord’s reasonable
discretion, such stoppage is necessitated by reason of accident, repairs, inspections, alterations or improvements, until any
of the same have been completed; such stoppage shall not be a breach of this Lease, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement
of its Rent obligations under this Lease on account thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if (i) an
interruption or curtailment, suspension or stoppage of an Essential Service (as said term is hereinafter defined) shall occur,
(any such interruption of an Essential Service being hereinafter referred to as a “Service Interruption”), and (ii)
such Service Interruption occurs or continues as a result of the act or omission of the Landlord or Landlord’s agents, servants,
employees or contractors, and (iii) such Service Interruption continues for more than five (5) consecutive business days after
Landlord shall have received notice thereof from Tenant, and (iv) as a result of such Service Interruption, the conduct of Tenant’s
normal operations in the Premises are materially and adversely affected, then there shall be an abatement of one day’s Minimum
Rent and Additional Rent for each day during which such Service Interruption continues after such five (5) business day period.
For purposes hereof, the term “Essential Services” shall mean the following services: access to the Premises, electricity,
water/sewer, heating and air conditioning.
10.3
UTILITY DEPOSIT. If a deposit is required by any utility provider in order to furnish any utility service to the Leased Premises,
Tenant shall pay such charge or deposit, or its Pro Rata Share thereof. However, Landlord shall be obligated to return, repay
or credit Tenant for any Pro Rate Share of a deposit so paid.

(collectively, “Alterations”) without in each instance, the prior written consent of Landlord which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall promptly pay for the costs of all such Alterations regardless
of the cost, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against liens, costs, damages and expenses incurred by Landlord in

workmen’s compensation insurance as required by applicable law and public liability in such amounts and according to terms
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
12.2 LANDLORD
PROPERTY. All Alterations, including lighting, fixtures, ducts, controls, diffusers, filters or other equipment for distribution
of heating and cooling, which may be made or installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, including those Alterations described in

and be surrendered with the Leased Premises at the time of termination of this Lease as a part of the Leased Premises, without
disturbance, molestation or injury, unless Landlord notifies Tenant to the contrary at the time of Landlord’s approval of
such Alterations, in which case such Alterations shall be removed at the end of the Lease Term and the Leased Premises shall be
returned in the condition in which the Leased Premises are required to be maintained by this Lease, excepting reasonable wear
and tear and damage by fire or other casualty.
12.3 TRADE
FIXTURES. Tenant, at its own cost and expense and without Landlord’s prior approval, may erect shelves, bins, equipment

structure, do not alter the basic character of the Leased Premises, do not overload or damage the Leased Premises, may be removed
without injury to the Leased Premises and the construction, erection and installation thereof complies with all Legal Requirements.
Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures upon termination of the Lease and shall repair any damage caused by such removal.

LIENS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not permit any mechanic’s, materialman’s
or other lien against the Leased Premises or the Building in connection with any labor, materials or services furnished or claimed
to have been furnished by or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien shall be filed against the Leased Premises or Building, Tenant
shall cause the same to be discharged. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all
costs, losses, liabilities, claims, demands and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) arising as a result of any mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien filed against the Leased Premises or
the Building in connection with any labor, materials or services furnished or claimed to have been furnished on behalf of Tenant.
During the pendency of any work of construction which may result in the imposition of a mechanic’s or materialman’s
lien upon the Leased Premises, Landlord may post in the Leased Premises in a reasonable manner and/or record notices of non-responsibility
in accordance with applicable laws. The provisions of this Section 12.4 shall apply to Tenant’s Alterations, Tenant Improvements
and to any other work in the Leased Premises by or on behalf of Tenant during the Term. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord
of any lien filed against the Leased Premises or the commencement of any action affecting the title thereto. If Tenant desires
to contest the claim of any lien, Tenant shall (i) at Landlord’s option, either promptly post a release bond in an amount

in this Lease, (ii) part of the Leased Premises, (iii) subletting the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or (iv) occupancy by
anyone with, through or under Tenant. Any assignment or sublease in violation of this Article shall be void and shall constitute

or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net
amount collected to Rent. No assignment, sublease, occupancy or collection will be deemed (a) a waiver of the provisions of this
Article, (b) the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or (c) a release of Tenant from the further performance
by Tenant of its obligations in this Lease. Consent by Landlord to an assignment or sublease will not relieve Tenant from obtaining
Landlord’s prior written consent to any further assignment or sublease. No permitted subtenant may assign or encumber its
sublease or further sublease all of any portion of its subleased space, or otherwise permit any subleased space to be used or
occupied by others, without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove contained
to the contrary and subject to Section 17.2, Landlord’s consent to a sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
or conditioned provided that (i) Tenant is not in default hereunder (which remains uncured after any applicable notice and cure
period); (ii) the use by the proposed subtenant does not, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, adversely affect the Leased
Premises and/or increase the risk or endanger the Building or any occupants thereof; (iii) if required by Landlord, subtenant
and Tenant execute a Landlord’s consent to sublease in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; and (iv)
Tenant shall continue to be liable under the Lease notwithstanding such sublease.

Landlord shall respond to Tenant’ request for consent within ten (10) business days after submission.
17.3
PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 17, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s
consent, but upon prior written notice to Landlord, to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises (in whole or in part) to any
other entity (the “Successor Entity”) (i) which controls or is controlled by Tenant or Tenant’s parent corporation,
or (ii) which is under common control with Tenant, or (iii) which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant,
or (iv) which purchases all or substantially all of the stock of (or other membership interests in) Tenant or (v) which merges
or combines with Tenant, provided that such Successor Entity has a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth
as substantiated by the submission to Landlord of such Successor Entity financial information described in Section 17.2.
ARTICLE
18. DEFAULT
18.1.
DEFAULT. Landlord may terminate this lease upon the happening of any one or more of the following Events of Default: (i) if Minimum
Rent or Additional Rent are not paid as and when due; or (ii) if Tenant shall have failed to cure a default in the performance
of any covenant of this Lease (except the payment of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent) or any rule or regulation hereinafter set
forth, within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord, or if the default cannot be completely cured in such
time, if Tenant shall not promptly proceed to cure such default within said sixty (60) days, or shall not complete the curing
of such default with due diligence and diligently prosecute the same to completion; or (iii) if a petition in bankruptcy shall
be filed by or against Tenant or if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or receive the benefit
of any insolvency or reorganization act; (iv) if a receiver or trustee is appointed for any portion of Tenant’s property
and such appointment is not vacated within thirty (30) days; or (v) if an execution or attachment or other lien or encumbrance
shall be issued under the Leased Premises shall be taken or occupied by anyone other than Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Landlord agreed that Tenant shall be granted one opportunity to cure a payment default of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent
one (1) time each Lease Year provided that the Tenant fully cures such Minimum Rent or Additional Rent payment default within
five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord.
18.2
REMEDIES. In the event of Tenant’s default hereunder which remains uncured beyond any applicable cure period, Landlord
may elect to terminate Tenant’s right of possession without termination of this Lease, in which event Tenant agrees to surrender
possession and vacate the Leased Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Landlord shall have the
right, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, to enter into and upon the Leased Premises, in whole or in part and to
repossess Tenant of the Leased Premises or any part thereof and to expel or remove Tenant and any other person, firm or corporation
who may be occupying or within the Leased Premises or any part thereof and remove any and all property therefrom without terminating
this Lease or releasing Tenant in whole or in part from Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and perform any of the covenants,
conditions and agreements to be performed by Tenant as provided in this Lease and without being deemed in any manner guilty of
trespass, eviction or forcible entry or detainer; and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to rental or any other right
of Landlord in this Lease or by operation of law. In such case, Landlord has the right to accelerate all Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent so that all such payments for the Lease Term shall become immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord. Without waiver
of or prejudice to any of its rights and remedies, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages by attempting
to relet the Leased Premises. Landlord may include all reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining possession of the Leased Premises,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees necessary to compel Tenant’s compliance hereunder, and the cost of restoring
the Leased Premises to good order; provided, however, expenses to address wear and tear that is commercially reasonable, shall
not be recoverable from Tenant. Landlord shall recover as liquidated damages, in addition to accrued Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent and other charges, if Landlord’s re- entry is the result of Tenant’s bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization,
the full rental for the maximum period allowed by any act relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.
Upon
and after entry into possession without terminating the Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable means to re-let all
or any part of the Leased Premises for the account of Tenant for such rent and upon such terms and to such person, firm or corporation
and for such period or periods as Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion shall determine and Landlord shall not be
required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant, or to observe any instruction given by Tenant about such re-letting. If the consideration
collected by Landlord upon any such re-letting for Tenant’s account is not sufficient to pay the Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent reserved in this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the deficiency upon demand. Any surplus realized upon any re-letting
shall be the sole property of Landlord.
The
service of any default notice, demand for possession, a notice that the tenancy hereby created will be terminated on the date
therein named, institution of an action of forcible detainer or ejectment or the entering of a judgment for possession in such
action, or any other act or acts resulting in the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises shall
not relieve Tenant from Tenant’s obligation to pay the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent hereunder during the balance of
the Lease Term or any extension thereof, except as herein expressly provided. The Landlord may collect and receive any Minimum
Rent and Additional Rent due from Tenant and the payment hereof shall not constitute a waiver of any existing default by Tenant
or affect any notice or demand given, suit instituted or judgment obtained by Landlord, or be held to waive, affect, change, modify
or alter the rights or remedies which Landlord has in equity or at law or by virtue of this Lease. Payment by Tenant or receipt
by Landlord of a lesser amount than any installment or payment due shall be deemed on account of, but not satisfaction of, the
amount due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or any transmittal document accompanying any check or payment of any
amount due shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s
right to recover the balance of any amount due or pursue any other remedies available to Landlord.
18.3
DAMAGES UPON LEASE TERMINATION. In the event of Tenant’s default hereunder which remains uncured beyond any applicable cure
period, Landlord may also elect to terminate this Lease on written notice to Tenant. If Landlord terminates the Lease, Tenant
agrees to pay on demand the sum of (i) all Rent, Additional Rent and other indebtedness accrued to the date of Tenant’s
surrender of the Leased Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease, together with all costs and expenses of Landlord,
including without limitation reasonable counsel fees, and (ii) as liquidated damages, an amount equal to, as of the date of surrender
of the Leased Premises, the present value, as computed using an eight percent (8%) per annum discount rate of the gross balance
of Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and all other amounts which would have otherwise been payable hereunder during the remainder
of the Term of this Lease; provided, however, that such payment shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture, but shall constitute
liquidated damages for Tenant’s failure to comply with the terms and provisions of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant agreeing
that Landlord’s actual damages in such event are impossible to ascertain and that the amount set forth above is a reasonable
estimate thereof. This Section 18 will survive the termination of this Lease. Upon making such payment and after Landlord has
received the balance of the Rent and other sums it would have received over the remainder of the Term (i.e., the difference between
face amount of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder for the entire Term and the discounted amount paid to Landlord by
Tenant), Tenant shall receive from Landlord all Minimum Rent received by Landlord from other tenants of the Leased Premises during
the Term hereof, net of expenses incurred by Landlord, provided that the amounts to which Tenant shall become so entitled shall
in no event exceed the entire amount actually paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this paragraph. This Section 18 will survive
the termination of this Lease.
18.4 Exercise
of any of the remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other remedy
provided for in this Lease or otherwise available to Landlord at law or in equity.
18.5 EXPENSES

out-of-pocket expenses of counsel, agents and others retained by Landlord, incurred in successfully enforcing Tenant’s obligations

month period, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord a late payment fee in an amount equal to the greater of $250.00 or
5% of such installment. In addition, all Minimum Rent and Additional Rent and other payments due hereunder shall, upon becoming
due under this Lease and remaining unpaid when due, bear interest until paid at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded monthly.

to succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease.
ARTICLE
21. SURRENDER AND HOLDOVER
21.1
SURRENDER. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this
Lease following a default by Tenant, Tenant shall peaceably leave and surrender the Leased Premises (with all keys thereto) to
Landlord broom-clean and otherwise in the condition in which the Leased Premises are required to be maintained by this Lease,
excepting wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty. Tenant shall, at its expense, remove from the Leased Premises, on
or prior to such expiration or earlier termination, Alterations designated by Landlord in accordance with Section 12.2, Tenant’s
Property and Tenant’s Trade Fixtures in accordance with Section 19.1. Tenant shall repair damage to dock doors, dock levelers,
bumpers, door seals, roof penetrations (if applicable).
21.2
HOLDOVER. Should Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant hold over in possession at the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier
termination of this Lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to extend the Lease Term or renew this Lease, and such shall
constitute a month to month tenancy and either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this lease upon 30 days notice to the other party.
In the event that Tenant continues to hold over after receipt of such notice, Tenant shall be subject to immediate eviction and
removal. During any holdover period Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to 150% of the monthly rate of Minimum Rent in effect
for the last month of the Lease Term plus Additional Rent. Any retention of possession of the Leased Premises by Tenant after
the termination of the Term that is done with the express written consent of Landlord shall not be subject to the foregoing paragraph
until expiration of any term provided for in such express written consent.
ARTICLE
22. MISCELLANEOUS
22.1 INDEPENDENT
COVENANTS AND SURVIVAL. The obligation of Tenant to pay rent hereunder is independent of each and every covenant, duty or obligation
of Landlord herein, and is not subject to deduction or offset except as otherwise provided herein. All obligations of the parties
which arise prior to termination of this Lease or which by their nature involve performance after the end of the Lease Term, or
which cannot be ascertained to have been fully performed until after the end of the Lease Term, will survive the expiration or
sooner termination of the Lease Term, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Lease.
22.2 PERSONAL
PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay before delinquency any personal property taxes attributable to the inventory, furniture, fixtures,
merchandise, equipment, and other personal property situated on the Leased Premises. If any such personal property taxes are levied
against Landlord or Landlord’s property, and if Landlord pays the same or if the assessed value of the Property is increased
by the inclusion therein of a value placed on such property, and if Landlord pays the taxes based on such increased assessment,
Tenant upon demand shall repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes resulting from
such increase in the assessment.
22.3 FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS. Tenant shall provide its most recent financial schedule(s) including statements of income and expense and statements
of net worth within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord. Tenant shall not be required to provide a financial statement
more than one time per calendar year. Such financial statements shall be held in confidence by Landlord, pursuant to Tenant’s
form of non-disclosure agreement, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit F, but Landlord may disclose them to its
attorneys, accountants and to any actual or prospective lender or purchaser under confidentiality obligations.
22.4 NOTICES.
All notices, consents, approvals to or demands upon or by Landlord or Tenant desired or required to be given under the provisions
hereof, shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given (i) on the date sent, if delivered by hand, (ii) one day after
the date such notice is deposited with an overnight delivery service; (iii) on the date sent, if delivered via facsimile or email
at the number(s) or email addresses set forth below, with a hard copy to follow by overnight delivery service; (iv) on the date
when received with proof of receipt to the party to whose attention it is directed or when such party refuses to accept receipt
if sent, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the applicable
party’s Notice Address. Either party may change its Notice Address by notice given in accordance with this Section.
22.5 FORCE
MAJEURE. No party shall be considered in default in the performance of any obligation hereunder (other than an obligation to pay
money) to the extent that the performance of such obligation is prevented or delayed by any event or circumstance that is beyond
the reasonable control of the party invoking it and such party could not have prevented or mitigated the consequences of such
event or circumstance by the exercise of reasonable diligence and foresight and expenditure of reasonable sums of money, including,
without limitation, war, revolution, insurrection or hostilities (whether declared or not), civil uprising, Act of God, earthquake,
flood, hurricane or other natural disaster, industrial disturbance on a national scale, material curtailment of national transportation
facilities, or similar extraordinary events (“Force Majeure”). Specifically excluded are delays resulting from a party’s
inability to obtain financing or a party’s lack of capital, unless due to the default of the other party. A party claiming
Force Majeure and requesting an extension of time to perform its obligations hereunder shall promptly notify the other party of
the Force Majeure causing such delay and subsequent changes in circumstances.
22.6 BROKERS.
Except for JLL, each party represents and warrants to the other that it has not employed or dealt with any broker, agent or finder
in carrying on the negotiations relating to this Lease or promised any broker, agent or finder that they would be paid any brokerage
or other fees or commissions in connection with the leasing of the Leased Premises. Each party will indemnify and hold the other
harmless from and against (a) any claim or claims for brokerage or other commissions in connection with this Lease asserted by
any broker, agent or finder engaged by such indemnifying party or with whom it has dealt and (b) any claim or claims for brokerage
or other fees or commissions by such brokers based on any promise made or alleged to have been made by the indemnifying party.
Landlord shall pay the brokerage commission due to JLL pursuant to a separate agreement.
22.7 ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATES. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree from time to time, after prior written notice from the other or any Mortgagee,
to execute, acknowledge and deliver, within ten (10) Business Days, without charge, to the other party, the Mortgagee or any other
person designated by the other party, a statement in writing certifying: that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or if there have been modifications, identifying the same by the date thereof and specifying the nature thereof); that to the
knowledge of such party there exist no defaults (or if there be any defaults, specifying the same); the amount of the Minimum
Rent or Additional Rent, the dates to which the Minimum Rent, Additional Rent and other sums and charges payable hereunder have
been paid; that such party to its knowledge has no claims against the other party hereunder except for the continuing obligations
under this Lease (or if such party has any such claims, specifying the same); and such other matters with respect to the Lease
that may be reasonably requested. Any such estoppel certificate will be addressed to the prospective purchaser or lending institution
as the requesting party may designate and may be relied upon by the requesting party and any such prospective purchaser or lending
institution.
22.8 EASEMENTS.
Landlord shall have the right to grant any easements on, over, under and above the Leased Premises for such purposes as Landlord
determines, provided that such easements and other changes will not materially interfere with Tenant’s business or Tenant’s
Permitted Use or increase Tenant’s Rent hereunder.
22.9 APPROVALS
AND CONSENTS. Unless specified otherwise, any “consent” or “approval” required by this Lease must be obtained
in advance and in a written form signed by an authorized officer or representative of the party giving such consent or approval.
22.10 ACCORD
AND SATISFACTION. Any payment by Tenant, or receipt by Landlord, of an amount less than the full Rent or other amount due shall
be on account and no endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any such payment shall be deemed an accord
and satisfaction, but Landlord shall accept such check for payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the
balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.
22.11 RELATIONSHIP
OF PARTIES. Nothing herein creates the relationship of principal and agent or a partnership or a joint venture between the parties
hereto, and neither the method of computing Rent nor any other provision of this Lease shall create any relationship between the
parties hereto other than that of a landlord and tenant.
22.12 ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. This Lease contains the entire, integrated agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations
and discussions between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof. Any representation, inducement or agreement
relating to the subject matter hereof not contained in this Lease shall not be of any force or effect. This Lease may be modified
or changed only by writing duly signed by both parties.
22.13 SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, is to any extent held to be invalid
or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those
as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease will be valid and enforced
to the fullest extent permitted by law.
22.14 INTERPRETATION.
Unless the context of this Lease requires otherwise: works of one gender include other genders, singular words include the plural,
and vice versa; “include” and “including” introduce illustrative matters and are not limiting; “party,”
“Landlord,” and “Tenant” mean the appropriate person(s) or entities entering into this Lease and its (their)
permitted successors and assigns; “or” has the inclusive meaning of “and/or”; “hereof”, “herein”,
“hereby”, “hereunder” and similar terms refer to this Lease as a whole and not to any particular provision;
article, section, subsection, exhibit and schedule references are to this Lease unless otherwise stated; captions are for convenience
only and do not interpret, limit or amplify the provisions thereof; all exhibits and schedules to this Lease are incorporated
as part of this Lease; reference to any other document means such document, as modified and in effect from time to time; and references
to any law or governmental regulation means such law or regulation as in effect from time to time, unless otherwise stated.
22.15 NO
IMPLIED WAIVER. No failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance by the other party of any covenant, agreement,
term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no payment or acceptance
of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant,
agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to be performed or completed by either party,
and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the other party. No waiver
of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. Neither re-entry of the
Leased Premises by Landlord nor acceptance by Landlord of keys from Tenant will constitute an acceptance of a surrender of this
Lease and neither of those events will relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay Rent and comply will all of the other covenants
and conditions of this Lease unless specifically agreed to in writing and signed by Landlord. If the Leased Premises or any part
thereof is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, in the case of a default beyond applicable notice and cure periods,
Landlord may collect Rent from the subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no
such collection shall waive the covenant herein against assignment and subletting, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant,
or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the complete performance by Tenant of its obligations in this Lease.
22.16 BINDING
EFFECT. Subject to the provisions hereof, the benefits of this lease and the burdens hereunder shall respectively inure to and
be binding upon the heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns of the parties, subject to the provisions hereof restricting
assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Leased Premises.
22.
17 ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If either party takes legal action against the other to enforce this Lease, the party in whose favor
final judgment is entered shall recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. If Landlord, without
fault on its part, is made a party to any action commenced against Tenant or on account of any acts or omissions of Tenant and
Tenant, at its expense, fails to provide Landlord with counsel approved by Landlord, Tenant will pay all costs and reasonable
attorney’s fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation.
22.18
LANDLORD’S LIABILITY.
(a)
There shall be no personal liability on the part of Landlord, or any
owners of an interest in Landlord’s business, their successors, assigns, legally appointed representatives, or any mortgagee
in possession with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant shall look solely to the equity
of Landlord, or other owner, in the Property of which the Leased Premises are a part for the satisfaction of each and every remedy
of Tenant in the event of any breach by Landlord of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by
Landlord, such exculpation of liability to be absolute and without exception. Landlord may transfer its interest in the Property
and Building or any portion thereof and in this Lease, and in the event of any such transfer Landlord shall automatically be released
from all liability under this Lease relating to periods after the date of such transfer and Tenant will look solely to such transferee
for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder relating to periods after the date of such transfer.
(b) Neither
this Lease nor any action or inaction by Landlord will be construed as (i) constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express
or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to or for the performance of any labor or services
for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or (ii) giving
Tenant any right, power or permission to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishings of
any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Landlord in respect thereof or
to make any agreement that may create, or in any way be the basis for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim or encumbrance
upon the estate of Landlord in the Leased Premises or any portion thereof.
22.19 SUBMISSION
NOT AN OFFER. Delivery of an unsigned copy of this Lease does not constitute an offer to lease the Leased Premises. A lease or
obligation to lease will not exist unless and until a lease is signed and delivered by both parties.
22.20 GOVERNING
LAW. THIS LEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT
OF LAWS RULES.
22.21 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. Each party waives trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them against the
other in connection with: (a) any matter arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease; (b) the relationship of Landlord
and Tenant hereunder; (c) Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises; (d) any claim of injury or damage; and (e) in
any summary or other proceedings to enforce the remedies in this Lease.
22.22 USURY.
If any interest or late charges provided for in this Lease are based upon a rate in excess of the maximum legal rate, such charges
shall be fixed at the maximum legal rate.
22.23 MEMORANDUM
OF LEASE. Upon the request of either party, Landlord and Tenant will, promptly upon the request of either, enter into a short
form memorandum of this Lease in form suitable for recording, at Tenant’s expense and acceptable to both parties. The Lease
itself shall not be recorded in the public records.
22.24 AUTHORITY.
Each party and the individual(s) executing this Lease on its behalf represent and warrant to the other party that such individual(s)
have full right, power and authority to execute this Lease on behalf of the party indicated and, if such party is a corporation,
that such corporation has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Lease and has taken all corporate action necessary
to carry out the transaction contemplated hereby, so that when executed this Lease constitutes a valid and binding obligation
enforceable against such corporation.

SUBORDINATION,
ATTORNMENT,
AND NONDISTURBANCE AGREEMENT
THIS
SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT, AND NONDISTURBANCE AGREEMENT dated as of the _____day of ______________, 2019, by and among UniBank
for Savings (“Mortgagee”), MARKFORGED, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”) and 900 MIDDLESEX
PROPERTY OWNER, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Landlord”).
BACKGROUND
By
Lease dated _________, (the “Lease”), Landlord leased to Tenant certain premises (the “Leased Premises”)
located in the property commonly known as 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx #0 (a/k/a Middlesex Tech #0, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx),
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx and more particularly described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Property”).
Landlord
has granted or will grant to Mortgagee a Mortgage and Security Agreement (said Mortgage together with any amendment, renewal,
substitution, extension, or replacement thereof being the “Mortgage”) covering the Property.
Tenant
has been requested by Mortgagee and Landlord to enter into a subordination agreement with Mortgagee and Landlord, and Mortgagee
has been requested by Tenant and by Landlord to enter into a nondisturbance agreement with Tenant.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, Tenant, Landlord, and Mortgagee hereby agree
as follows:
| 1. | Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Lease and all of the rights of Tenant thereunder
are, and shall remain, fully subordinated to the Mortgage and the lien thereof, to any
amendment, renewal, substitution, extension, or replacement of the Mortgage and to all
subsequent advances and disbursements under the Mortgage. |
| 2. | From
time to time, within ten (10) days following written request by Mortgagee, Tenant shall
provide Mortgagee with an estoppel certificate certifying to such facts as Mortgagee
may reasonably request, including, without limitation, that, to the best of Tenant’s
knowledge, no defaults, claims or offsets, or events or situations that, with notice
and/or the passage of time, could become a default or the basis for a claim or offset,
against or by Tenant or Landlord exist under the Lease or, if any of the same exist,
describing the same. |
| 3. | Tenant
shall not, without the prior written consent in each instance of Mortgagee, pay rent
or other sums due under the Lease more than thirty (30) days in advance of the due date
therefor established by the Lease. |
| 4. | Mortgagee
shall have no responsibility, liability, or obligation to cure any defaults by Landlord
under the Lease, nor shall Mortgagee be subject to claims, defenses, or offsets under
the Lease or against Landlord possessed by Tenant and which arise or existed prior to
the foreclosure of the Mortgage or Mortgagee’s acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof.
If Mortgagee shall foreclose the Mortgage or accept a deed in lieu thereof, it shall
do so free and clear of all prior defaults, claims, defenses, or offsets Tenant may have
under the Lease and shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any act or omission
by any prior holder of the Landlord’s interest under the Lease. |
| 5. | In
the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or in the event that Landlord shall give Mortgagee
a deed in lieu thereof, Tenant agrees to attorn to and accept the Mortgagee as landlord
under the Lease for the balance then remaining of the term of the Lease subject to all
of the terms and conditions of the Lease, except provided however that Tenant and Landlord
agree that Mortgagee shall not be (a) liable for any action or omission of any prior
landlord under the Lease; or (b) subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant might
have against any prior landlord; or (c) bound by any rent or additional rent that Tenant
paid to any prior landlord more than thirty (30) days in advance of the due date therefor
established by the Lease; or (d) bound by any security deposit that Tenant may have paid
to any landlord, unless such deposit is in an escrow fund available to Mortgagee or Mortgagee
is otherwise holding the same; or (e) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease
made without Mortgagee’s consent. Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative
without the execution of any further instruments on the part of the parties hereto immediately
upon the Mortgagee succeeding to the interest of Landlord in the Leased Premises. Without
limiting the self-operative effect of the foregoing, Tenant agrees, upon written demand
by Mortgagee after Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord in the Leased
Premises, to execute an instrument in confirmation of the foregoing provisions, satisfactory
to Mortgagee, in which Tenant shall acknowledge such attornment and shall set forth the
terms and conditions of its tenancy. |
| 6. | In
consideration of the foregoing agreements of Tenant, Mortgagee agrees that so long as
Tenant is not in default under the Lease, (a) it will not disturb the possession of Tenant
under the Lease upon any foreclosure of the Mortgage or upon the acceptance of a deed
in lieu thereof, and (b) the Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder shall survive
any exercise of remedies under the Mortgage by Mortgagee, which might otherwise terminate,
cut-off, or modify the Lease, including, without limitation, any foreclosure and/or sale
of the Property that are the subject of the Mortgage, for the term and any extension
thereof set forth in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if Mortgagee and Tenant
entered into the Lease as landlord and tenant, respectively, with liability thereunder
to each other as set forth in the Lease, subject, however, to the provisions of Sections
3, 4, and 5 hereof. |
| 7. | Whenever
Tenant shall send Landlord any notices alleging default in Landlord’s performance
under the Lease (whether or not required by the terms of the Lease), Tenant shall simultaneously
send a copy of such notice to Mortgagee. |
| 8. | This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors
and assigns. As used herein, the term “Tenant” shall include Tenant, its
successors, and its assigns; the words “foreclosure” and “foreclosure
sale” shall be deemed to include the acquisition of Landlord’s estate in
the Property, including the Leased Premises, by voluntary deed (or assignment) in lieu
of foreclosure; and the word “Mortgagee” shall include the Mortgagee herein
specifically named or any of its successors and assigns, including anyone who shall have
succeeded to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises by, through, or under foreclosure
of the Mortgage, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure including, without limitation, any
purchaser at a foreclosure sale. |
| 9. | Whenever
notice, demand, or a request may be given hereunder, the same shall always be sufficiently
given only if in writing and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, addressed as follows: |
| (a) | to
Landlord at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other
address or addresses as may be designated by Landlord by notice given as provided in
this Section 9; |
| (b) | to
Tenant at ________________________________________________________________, or at
such other address or addresses as may be designated by Tenant by notice given as provided
in this Section 9; and |
| (c) | to
Mortgagee at 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other address
or addresses as may be designated by Mortgagee by notice given as provided in this Section
9; |
and
only upon receipt or tender for delivery at such address to a person apparently authorized to receive official communications
at such address during regular business hours of the addressee. Transmittal by a recognized private express carrier that maintains
delivery records or by hand shall have the same effect as a notice mailed as aforesaid.
| 10. | This
Agreement will be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. |
| 11. | This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered
is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. |
