NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto promise, covenant and agree that the Lease be and is hereby amended as follows:
1. TERM: The Lease and the term thereof are hereby extended for the Third Extended Term to commence immediately following the expiration of the Second Extended Term of the Lease, i.e., July 1, 2018.

2. RENT: Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rental for the Leased Premises the following amounts at the following times:
A. Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord on the first day of each calendar month during the balance of the Second Extended Term of the Lease the amount of $32,347.49 as monthly rental for the Leased Premises.

If any installment of monthly rental or additional rental becomes overdue for a period in excess of ten (10) business days, Tenant shall pay interest at a monthly rate equal to
2
one percent (1%) accruing from the due date to the date of payment thereof. Such interest shall constitute additional rental due and payable to Landlord by Tenant. The interest charge will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy Landlord may have under the Lease. If there are accrued and unpaid rental amounts, all payments of monthly rental and additional rental shall be applied in such order as Landlord shall determine.
3. NEW RENEWAL OPTION: Paragraph 5 (New Renewal Option) of the Tenth Amendment to Agreement of Lease dated May 31, 2017, is hereby deleted in its entirety.
4. RENEWAL OPTION: Tenant shall have the right and option to extend the Third Extended Term of the Lease for the Leased Premises for one (1) additional term of three (3) years (the “Revised Renewal Term“) to commence immediately following the expiration of the Third Extended Term. Tenant may exercise the right to extend the term of the Lease for the Revised Renewal Term only by delivering to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s exercise of such right no less than one (1) year prior to the expiration date of the Third Extended Term, time being of the essence. The terms and conditions of the Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the Revised Renewal Term except for this paragraph 4 and except that the monthly rental for the Revised Renewal Term shall be calculated pursuant to the following formula:
The monthly rental for the Revised Renewal Term for which this calculation is made shall equal the monthly rental paid during the Third Extended Term (i.e., $38,650.44) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the CPI in effect for the month of June 2021and the denominator of which is the CPI in effect for June 2018
Notwithstanding the result of the above calculation, the monthly rental for the Revised Renewal Term shall not be less than $38,650.44.
The CPI, as referred to herein, means the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers 1984=100 relating to the United States City Average, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, or any successor to the function thereof. In the event of the conversion of the CPI to a different standard reference base or any other revision thereof, the determination hereunder shall be made with the use of such Bureau of Labor Statistics or successor to the functions thereof or in the absence of the publication of such conversion factor, such formula or table as the parties shall mutually designate.
Notwithstanding the above, if Haemonetics Corporation, itself or its affiliate or subsidiary is in default under the Lease or is not in full possession of the Leased Premises continuously during the last twelve (12) months of the Third Extended Term and the
3
commencement of the Revised Renewal Term, Landlord may, at its option and upon written notice to Tenant, terminate the Lease as of the last day of the Third Extended Term.
5. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE: Landlord shall pay to Tenant the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance in the amount of $60,000.00 to be utilized by Tenant for improvements to the Leased Premises to be made by Tenant’s contractors during the Third Extended Term (i.e., the Additional Tenant’s Work). Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for said costs within thirty (30) days after receipt of paid invoice from Tenant with supporting documentation. Any unused amount of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be credited against rental in reverse order beginning with the last month of the Third Extended Term. Any additional cost of the Additional Tenant’s Work that is paid by Landlord to Tenant exceeding the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance may be amortized over the Third Extended Term and Revised Renewal Term at the prime rate of interest as published by PNC Bank, N.A. at the commencement of the Third Extended Term plus three percent (3%) per annum. If Tenant does not exercise its option to extend the term of the Lease for the Revised Renewal Term, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord any unamortized balance of said additional cost prior to the expiration of the Third Extended Term.
6. TENANT’S WORK: Tenant shall have the right to perform any or all of the Additional Tenant’s Work, subject to Landlord’s prior reasonable approval, which shall be given to Tenant within ten (10) business days upon Landlord’s receipt of detailed plans and specifications from Tenant; however, Landlord’s approval shall be deemed to have been given if Landlord fails to respond to Tenant within said ten (10) business day approval period. Tenant shall not be charged by Landlord for any supervisory, management, or review fees in connection with review or monitoring of the Additional Tenant’s Work. Tenant shall have the right to select all contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, consultants, etc. in connection with the Additional Tenant’s Work, subject to Landlord’s prior reasonable approval. However, Landlord shall be provided an opportunity to submit to Tenant a bid for construction of any or all of the Additional Tenant’s Work. Subject to Landlord’s prior reasonable approval, Tenant shall have the right to construct computer rooms, interconnecting stairs, and any other specialized facilities, provided such work does not jeopardize the structural integrity of Building 18 and/or Building 18A. Tenant and Landlord shall agree on a mutually acceptable construction schedule with respect to the Additional Tenant’s Work.
The Additional Tenant’s Work shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner, and all contracts for the Additional Tenant’s Work that is not constructed by Landlord shall
4
require signed releases against mechanics liens upon payment in full for such Additional Tenant’s Work.
If any of the Additional Tenant’s Work is constructed by contractors other than Landlord, Tenant shall cause its contractors to provide Landlord with evidence of commercial general liability insurance at the limits set forth in section 8 (Insurance) of the Agreement of Lease dated July 17, 1990, and shall name Landlord as an additional insured. Said contractor(s) shall also provide Landlord with evidence of Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance.
Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and save harmless Landlord from all expense, liens, claims, damages or injuries to either persons or property arising out of, or resulting from activities related to any of the Additional Tenant’s Work not constructed by Landlord. The Additional Tenant’s Work shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in section 5 (Alterations) of the Agreement of Lease dated July 17, 1990.
7. LANDLORD’S WORK: As an inducement for Tenant entering into this Eleventh Amendment to Agreement of Lease and the faithful performance of its obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform the following work upon receipt of a fully executed Eleventh Amendment to Agreement of Lease (“Landlord’s Work”):

Tenant shall take reasonable steps to protect its property from loss or damage during the time Landlord’s Work is being performed and Tenant shall conduct its operations in such a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere or delay Landlord or its contractors in the performance of Landlord’s Work.
