| i. | Initial Term. For the Initial Term, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord rent in the minimum aggregate amount of Three Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand Sixty and 68/100 Dollars ($322,060.68) (the “Rent”).

of Work as soon as possible following the execution of this Lease. Both Tenant and Landlord must
approve
- 3 -
any changes to the Plan of Work, in writing, prior to proceeding with the changes. Approval
of plans and specifications by Landlord shall not constitute the assumption of any responsibility
by Landlord for their accuracy or sufficiency or conformity with applicable laws, and Tenant shall
be solely responsible for such plans and specifications and for all of Tenant’s Work. Tenant shall
not commence any of Tenant’s Work until Landlord has approved Exhibit “D.”
Tenant’s taking possession of the Leased Property shall be conclusive evidence of Tenant’s

decorate, alter, repair or improve the Leased Property either before or after the execution hereof,
have been made by Landlord or its agents to Tenant unless the same are contained herein.

to the Rent at the time the space is added as calculated on an annual per square foot cost
multiplied by the square foot measurement of the additional space. In the event the additional
space does not open into the main public corridor, the square footage uses for the calculation of
the rent for the additional space may include a prorata share of the square footage of the public
corridor providing access to the additional space. If Tenant and Landlord agree to add additional
space to the Leased Property, the price of that space, as determined above, shall be added to the
Rent and also the calculated monthly installment shall be added to the Monthly Rent Installment.

extent feasible, the path of travel to the altered portion(s) and/or addition(s) and the rest
rooms, telephones, and drinking fountains serving the altered portion(s) and or addition(s), are
readily accessible and usable by individuals with disabilities, including individuals who use
wheelchairs, unless the cost and scope of such alterations is disproportionate to the cost of the
overall alterations. Landlord reserves the right before approving any such alterations, changes,
improvements and additions to analyze the factual basis underlying Tenant’s determinations that the
cost and scope of alterations which trigger the path of travel requirements is disproportionate to
the cost of the overall alterations. Landlord reserves the right before approving any such
alterations, changes, improvements or additions to require Tenant to furnish to Landlord, at
Tenant’s expense, a good and sufficient bond conditioned that Tenant shall protect, indemnify,

Property. Tenant further agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord against and from
any and all losses, expenses, and damages extending from claims brought by or on behalf of Tenant
or any person in the Leased Property, the Building, and/or the Park with Tenant’s consent,
invitation or license, expressed or implied, for any damage, either to person or property,

thereof, due to the act or neglect of any employee of Tenant, or the act of any occupant of Leased
Property or other persons in the Leased Property, or due to any casualty or accident in or about
the Leased Property, including those arising from the bursting or leaking of any water, gas, sewer,
or steam pipes, or from the breaking, shorting or malfunction of any electrical wiring or
apparatus.
Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s employees are not employees of Landlord, and therefore not
eligible for any benefits or coverages normally and ordinarily available to Landlord’s employees,
Therefore, Tenant will obtain and keep in force workers’ compensation insurance to cover losses
resulting from bodily injury to Tenant’s employees and contractors. Tenant further agrees to
obtain and keep in force a commercial general liability insurance policy in an amount not less than
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) single limit, per occurrence, to cover losses resulting from

place such coverage with companies satisfactory to Landlord and to name Landlord as an additional

insurance shall cover electric displays and signs located on the Leased Property.

against Tenant’s leasehold interest. Tenant shall, within forty-five (45) days after notice of the
filing thereof, cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of court
of competent jurisdiction or otherwise. Nothing in this Lease contained shall be deemed or
construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, expressed or implied, by
inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the
performance of any labor or furnishing of any materials for any specific improvement, addition,
alteration or repair of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant a
right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing
of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any mechanic’s lien against the fee of the
Leased Property.

written notice thereof, or if the rent shall be in arrears for ten (10) days as to any Monthly
Rent Installment and Tenant shall fail to pay in full the arrearages in rent within five (5) days
after written notice thereof, then in either such circumstance this Lease shall immediately
terminate at the sole option and election of Landlord without any notice to Tenant. If Tenant
shall be adjudged bankrupt, either by voluntary or involuntary proceedings, or if a receiver,
trustee or other representative for creditors be appointed, or if Tenant shall make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, then this Lease shall immediately terminate at the sole
option and election of Landlord upon notice of such election being given to Tenant or to such
trustee, receiver, assignee or representative, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after
Landlord shall acquire knowledge of the happening of such event. Landlord shall, at any such time

or any part thereof in the name of the whole, and repossess the same, and expel Tenant and those

manner of trespass upon entry as aforesaid, and this Lease shall terminate and wholly expire, and
Tenant covenants that in case of such termination, Tenant will indemnify Landlord against all loss
of rent Landlord may incur by reason of such termination during the residue of the term above
specified.
The failure of Landlord to exercise any of it s rights or remedies under this Lease upon any
default by Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default nor of any of the provisions of
this Lease and shall not preclude Landlord from the exercise of any such rights and remedies upon
any subsequent date whether for a previous or subsequent default.
24. RELOCATION OF TENANT. Landlord shall have the right upon at least thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice to Tenant to relocate Tenant and to substitute for the Leased Property
other space in the Building, or in another building owned by Landlord, in the vicinity containing
at least as much rentable area as the Leased Property. Such substituted space shall be improved by
Landlord, at its expense, with improvements at least equal in quantity and quality to those in the
Leased Property. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with such relocation. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any
consequential damages as a result of any such relocation, including, but not limited to, loss of

arrange for pickup and cartage of all excess trash and garbage at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall
not burn any trash or garbage at any time in or about the Leased Property or anywhere else in the
Park; provided, however, that Landlord may in its sole discretion permit the burning of trash on
the Leased Property or incinerators to be furnished by Tenant and approved by Landlord. Tenant

Section, the terms “hazardous substance,” “release” and “removal” shall have
- 8 -
the same meaning and definition as set forth in paragraphs (14), (22) and (23), respectively,
of 42 U.S.C. § 9601 and in I.C. 13-7-8.7-1; provided, however, that the term “hazardous substance”
as used herein also shall include “hazardous waste” (as defined in paragraph (5) of 42 U.S.C.
§ 6903) and “petroleum” (as defined in paragraph (8) of 42 U.S.C. § 6991).
26. ACCESS TO LEASED PREMISES. Landlord may at reasonable times, and providing
reasonable notice is given to Tenant by Landlord prior to inspection, enter to view and inspect the
Leased Property or to make repairs, and may show the Leased Property to others and may at any time
within two months next preceding the termination of this Lease affix to any suitable part of the
Leased Property a notice for letting the Leased Property, and keep the same affixed without
hindrance or molestation.
27. HOLDOVER. If Tenant shall occupy the Leased Property with the consent of Landlord
after the expiration of this Lease, and rent is accepted from Tenant, such occupancy and payment
shall be construed as an extension of this Lease for a term of one month only from the date of such
expiration, and occupancy thereafter shall operate to extend the terms of this Lease for but one
month at a time, unless other terms of such extension are endorsed hereon in writing and signed by
the parties hereto or unless such other terms are reduced to a separate writing signed by the
parties hereto.
28. VACATION OF THE LEASED PREMISES. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay the rent at
the times and in the manner aforesaid, and at the termination of this Lease shall peacefully yield
up to Landlord the Leased Property in as good order and repair as when delivered to Tenant, damage
by fire, casualty, war or insurrection, riot or public disorder, or act upon the part of any
governmental authority, ordinary wear and tear, and damage by the elements excepted.
29. LIGHT AND AIR. It is agreed that this Lease does not grant a continuance of light
and air over any property adjoining the Leased Property.
30. EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event the entire Leased Property, or twenty-five percent
(25%) or more in area thereof, shall be appropriated under the power of eminent domain by any
public or quasi-public authority, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking.
31. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. This Lease shall not be assigned or the Leased
Property sublet in whole or in part by Tenant without the prior written consent and approval of
Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and if such consent and approval
should be given, Tenant shall nevertheless remain liable for rents and performance of all other
provisions of this Lease as though any such assignment or subletting has not been made. Landlord
shall have the right to sell the Building at any time during the Lease Term, subject only to the
rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event of the sale or exchange of the Building and the
assignment of this Lease, Landlord shall be relieved of all liability for the covenants and
obligations in or derived from this Lease, or arising out of any act, occurrence or omission
relating to the Leased Property or this Lease. The covenants, representations, and obligations of
Landlord shall be binding on Landlord only during the period that Landlord has an ownership
interest in the Building. Further, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate this Lease to any
mortgage presently existing or hereafter placed upon the Building by so declaring in such mortgage.
Within ten (10) days following receipt of a written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute
and deliver to Landlord, without cost, any instrument which Landlord deems reasonably necessary or
desirable to confirm the subordination of this Lease and an estoppel certificate in such form as
Landlord may reasonably request certifying (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect and
unmodified or stating the nature of any modification, (ii) the date to which rent has been paid,
(iii) that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults or specifying such defaults
if any are claimed, and (iv) any other matters or state of facts reasonably required respecting the
Lease. Such estoppel may be relied upon by Landlord and by any purchaser or mortgagee of the
Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the mortgagee shall take title to the Leased Property
through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant shall be allowed to continue in
possession of the Leased Property as provided for in this Lease so long as Tenant shall not be in
default.

32. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by
the
parties hereto nor by any third party as creating the relationship of principal and agent or
of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that
neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provision of this Lease nor any acts of the
parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the
relationship of Landlord and Tenant. In this regard, although Tenant will have the benefit of
various business financial and management programs and services offered to Tenant and other Tenants
in the facility of which the Leased Property are a part, Tenant hereby acknowledges, understands

them pursuant thereto are merely advisory in nature without binding effect on Tenant and that
Tenant may accept and/or reject such advice and programs and services offered to it. Accordingly,

responsible for the results and effect of any such programs and services that are provided to
Tenant pursuant to such programs and services.

dealt with no broker, finder or other person with respect to this Lease or the transactions
contemplated hereby other than ___(“Tenant’s Broker”). Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Landlord from and against any loss, liability, damage or claim incurred by reason of any
commission or fee alleged to be payable to anyone other than Tenant’s Broker because of any act,
omission, or statement of Tenant, its employees or agents. Such obligation to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless shall be deemed to include the payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees and court
costs incurred in defending any such claim. Tenant’s Broker shall be compensated by Landlord per
separate agreement.
34. NOTICES. All notices to be given hereunder by either party shall be in writing,
and shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party intended to be
notified. Notice given as aforesaid shall be a sufficient service thereof and shall be deemed
given as of the date when deposited in any post office, or in any post office box regularly
maintained by the Federal Government. Notice to Tenant shall be sent to the Leased Property.
Notice to Landlord shall be sent to Purdue Research Foundation, 0000 Xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx

necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof apply either to corporations
or individuals, men or women, shall in all cases be assumed as though fully expressed. The
captions of the various paragraphs thereof are for convenience only and are not intended to limit
or amplify the provisions and terms hereof. This Lease and any questions arising hereunder shall
be construed under the laws of the State of Indiana. If there is more than one Landlord or Tenant,
all obligations of Landlords and Tenants shall be joint and several.
36. WAIVER. No waiver by either party or their successors or assigns of any breach of
the covenants herein contained to be performed by the other party shall be construed as a waiver of

Exhibit B PURDUE RESEARCH PARK DEVELOPMENT POLICY |
The Purdue Research Park was established to create an environment in which private
business and industry could interact with Purdue University for mutual benefit. The
intent of this policy statement is to identify how the Purdue Research Park can xxxxxx
positive interactions between the University and its business and industrial partners.
The Research Park is an area where the environment exists to facilitate these positive
partnerships.
Following are some general policy statements that will serve as guidelines concerning the
suitability of a particular business or industry for location in the Research Park:
1. The business or industry will preferably have a technical aspect to its character that
will suggest an important relationship with one or more University academic units.
2. Limited manufacturing activities are permitted, but there should be a strong technical
component to the company’s activity. Examples of such components are: product design,
advanced engineering, research and development, and advanced manufacturing technology. One
or more of these activities should take place on the company’s Research Park site.
3. Research interaction between the company and the University should be a fundamental
part of the company’s strategy. Evidence of this strategy could be a history of past
interactions, a dedicated area in the facility plans for a research activity, or a written
plan with specific topics outlined for joint research projects between the company and the
University.
4. Internships, co-op student program, and on-site faculty and graduate student research
should be encouraged by the company. In addition, the company should be willing to permit
academically qualified staff to serve as adjunct faculty at the University.
5. The company should plan to utilize esoteric University facilities in their technical
activities. For example, utilization of the University’s library or computer facilities
might be a part of the company strategy.
6. The physical facilities that the company plans to construct in the Research Park should
be commensurate with those of a technically advanced organization. A Purdue Research
Foundation committee shall review building plans to determine if the spirit of this policy
has been fulfilled.
7. The Purdue Research Foundation views the companies in the Research Park as partners in
a project to develop a technologically advanced community. Therefore, each project will be
considered to be a part of a long-term commitment on the part of the company and the
Foundation. The Foundation will assist potential residents of the Park in developing their
plans and choosing the best site that fits the mutual interests of the company and the
Foundation. The primary reason for a company to be located in the Purdue Research Park is
to be located near and associated with Purdue University. This proximity to Purdue
University implies a strong partnership with that institution. That principle shall
underlie all the planning and discussion that occurs between the Purdue Research
Foundation and a potential resident of the
Park.
