(d) Tenant shall give Landlord notice, not later than two (2) calendar months after the Substantial Completion Date, of any respects in which Landlord has not performed the Initial Work fully, properly and in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Except as identified in any such notice from Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall have no right to make any claim that Landlord has failed to perform any of the Initial Work fully, properly and in accordance with the terms of this Lease (except for punch list items, to which Tenant may object on or before that date which is two (2) calendar months after the completion thereof).

(e) If a delay shall occur in the Substantial Completion Date as the result of:

(i) any request by Tenant that Landlord delay the commencement, continuance or completion of the Initial Work;

(iii) any other act or omission by Tenant or its Agents or independent contractors; or

(iv) any reasonably necessary displacement of any of the Initial Work from its place in Landlord’s construction schedule resulting from any of the causes for delay referred to in this subsection (e) and the fitting of such Initial Work back into such construction schedule;

then Tenant shall, from time to time and within ten (10) days after demand therefor, pay to Landlord for each day of such delay the amount of Basic Rent and Additional Rent that would have been payable hereunder had Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent commenced immediately prior to such delay. The delays referred to in this subsection (e) are herein referred to collectively and individually as “Tenant’s Delay.”

Prior to any entry onto the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing the coverages required herein. With respect to the period commencing upon any such early entry, all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder (other than its obligation to pay Basic Rent) shall commence.

ARTICLE 6

Tenant will not place on the exterior of the Premises (including both interior and exterior surfaces of doors and interior surfaces of windows) or on any part of the Building outside the Premises or any portion of the Premises visible from outside the Premises, any sign, symbol, advertisement or the like visible to public view outside of the Premises.

(d) Tenant shall not abandon the Premises.

6.4 Extra Hazardous Use. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant will not do or permit anything to be done in or upon the Premises, or bring in anything or keep anything therein, which shall increase the rate of property or liability insurance carried by Landlord on the Premises or the Property above the standard rate applicable to Premises being occupied for the Permitted Use. If the premium or rates payable with respect to any policy or policies of insurance purchased by Landlord or Landlord’s Managing Agent with respect to the Property increases as a result of any act or activity on or use of the Premises during the Term or payment by the insurer of any claim arising from any act or neglect of Tenant, or Tenant’s Agents, independent contractors or invitees, Tenant shall pay such increase, from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor by Landlord, as Additional Rent.

If any Alterations shall involve the removal of fixtures, equipment or other property in the Premises which are not Tenant’s Removable Property, such fixtures, equipment or other property shall be promptly replaced by Tenant at its expense with new fixtures, equipment or other property of like utility and of at least equal quality.

7.3 Tenant’s Removable Property. All articles of personal property and all business fixtures, machinery and equipment and furniture owned or installed by Tenant solely at its expense in the Premises (“Tenant’s Removable Property”) shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, provided that Tenant, at its expense, shall repair any damage to the Property caused by such removal.

7.4 Liability; Mechanics’ Liens. Notice is hereby given, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor or materials (or the cost therefor) furnished or to be furnished to Tenant upon credit, and that no mechanic’s or other lien for any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the reversion or other estate or interest of Landlord in and to the Property or any portion thereof. To the maximum extent permitted by law, before such time as any contractor commences to perform Alterations, Tenant shall obtain from such contractor (and any subcontractors), and shall furnish to Landlord, a written statement acknowledging the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall, before commencing its Alterations, secure additional assurances satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion protecting Landlord against claims arising out of the furnishing of labor and materials for such Alterations. Tenant agrees to pay promptly

when due the entire cost of any Alterations, and not to cause or permit any liens for labor or materials performed or furnished in connection therewith to attach to all or any part of the Property and to immediately discharge any such liens which may so attach. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any lien is filed against all or any part of the Property for Alterations claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant or Tenant’s Agents or independent contractors, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause such lien to be dissolved within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice that such lien has been filed, by the payment thereof or by the filing of a bond sufficient to accomplish the foregoing and shall deliver to Landlord evidence thereof within three (3) days of such dissolution. If Tenant fails to discharge any such lien, Landlord may, at its option, discharge such lien and treat the cost thereof (including Attorneys’ Fees incurred in connection therewith) as Additional Rent payable by Tenant upon demand, it being expressly agreed that such discharge by Landlord shall not be deemed to waive or release a Default of Tenant in not discharging such lien. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all expenses, liens, claims, liabilities and damages based on or arising, directly or indirectly, by reason of the making of any Alterations, which obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

7.5 Harmonious Labor. In the course of any work being performed by Tenant (including without limitation, the “field installation” of any Tenant’s Removable Property), Tenant agrees to use labor compatible with that being employed by Landlord for work in the Building or on the Property or other buildings owned by Landlord or its affiliates (which term, for purposes hereof, shall include, without limitation, entities which control or are under common control with or are controlled by Landlord or, if Landlord is a partnership or limited liability company, by any partner or member of Landlord) and not to employ or permit the use of any labor or otherwise take any action which might result in a labor dispute involving personnel providing services in the Building or on the Property pursuant to arrangements made by Landlord.

ARTICLE 8

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

8.1 Prohibition. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Tenant covenants and agrees that neither this Lease nor the estate hereby granted, nor any interest herein or therein, will be assigned (collaterally, conditionally or otherwise), mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and that neither the Premises nor the Property, nor any part thereof, will be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the part of Tenant, or be sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include granting of concessions, licenses, use and occupancy agreements and the like) in whole or in part, without in each case, the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant further agrees that notwithstanding any assignment or sublet of any or all of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (irrespective of whether or not Landlord’s consent is required therefor), Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the payment and performance of its obligations hereunder, and in the case of assignment such liability shall be joint and several with such assignee or assignees from time to time. Any consent by Landlord to a particular assignment, sublease or occupancy or other act, from time to time, for which Landlord’s consent is required pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, and any provision of this Lease which permits an assignment, sublease or occupancy or other act without

Landlord’s consent shall not in any way diminish the prohibition stated in this Section 8.1 as to any such further assignment, sublease or occupancy or other act or the continuing liability of the original named Tenant or of any assignee from time to time.

8.2 Additional Events Deemed to be Assignment/Sublet. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the following events shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be an assignment/sublet of this Lease and shall be subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 8: (i) Tenant entering into any agreement which purports to relieve Tenant from the obligation to pay, or pursuant to which a third party agrees to pay on Tenant’s behalf or to Tenant, all or any portion of the Rent under this Lease; (ii) Tenant entering into any agreement pursuant to which a third party undertakes or is granted by or on behalf of Tenant the right to assign or attempt to assign this Lease or to sublet or attempt to sublet all or any portion of the Premises; (iii) the transfer (by one or more transfers) of a controlling portion of or interest in (meaning more than fifty percent (50%)) of the voting rights or stock or partnership or membership interests or other evidences of equity interests of Tenant; provided, however, that the transfer of equity interests in Tenant on a nationally recognized public stock exchange shall not be deemed an assignment within the meaning of this ARTICLE 8.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, either (1) a merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity, (2) the assignment of this Lease or a sublease of a portion of the Premises to a subsidiary or Affiliate (as defined below) of Tenant, (3) a transaction with a corporation or other entity to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets or substantially all of the beneficial ownership in Tenant is/are transferred, (any such party, a “Permitted Transferee”) shall all be deemed an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of a portion of the Premises, as the case may be, Landlord’s consent shall not be required therefor so long as the surviving entity pursuant to any merger or consolidation, any such subsidiary or controlling corporation, or any corporation to which substantially all such assets or beneficial ownership is/are transferred executes an assignment and assumption agreement or a sublease agreement with Tenant, as the case may be, and such agreement contains an assumption by such party of all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder with respect to such assignment or sublease, as the case may be, including without limitation, the obligation to pay the Rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease in case of an assignment, and a copy of such agreement is delivered to Landlord within twenty (20) Business Days of such transaction. By entering into such agreement, such party shall be deemed to have also agreed to confirm such obligations in writing to Landlord and any Holders (as defined below). For the purposes hereof, an “Affiliate” of Tenant shall mean any entity which (v) controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, (w) results from a merger or consolidation with or involving Tenant, (x) acquires the business being conducted on the Premises by Tenant, (y) has entered into a management contract with Tenant, or (z) has at least a majority ownership interest in Tenant.

8.3 Provisions Void Upon Assignment/Sublet. Upon any assignment, sublease or other transfer requiring Landlord’s consent pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, the following provisions, to the extent contained in this Lease, shall be null and void: (i) any rights or options of Tenant to expand the Premises or to extend or reduce the duration of the Term; and (ii) any rights or options to lease additional space in the Building or to reduce the size of the Premises.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not assign, sublet or otherwise transfer any of its interest or rights hereunder to any other tenant in the Building (if Landlord has comparable space on comparable terms available for lease), without the prior written consent of Landlord in its sole discretion.

8.4 Provisions Incorporated Into Sublease. Any sublease of all or a portion of the Premises shall be deemed to include the following provisions (notwithstanding any provision of the sublease to the contrary) and such provisions shall be deemed included in any Landlord consent agreement: (i) the term of the sublease must end no later than one day before the last day of the Term of this Lease; (ii) no sublease shall be valid, and no sublessee shall take possession of all or any part of the Premises until a fully executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord; (iii) such sublease is subject and subordinate to this Lease and the provisions hereof; and (iv) in the event of termination of this Lease for any reason or reentry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, in its sole discretion and option, take over and assume all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease, whereupon, from and after notice thereof given by Landlord to such sublessee, such sublessee shall attorn to Landlord and pay rent and perform all obligations of such sublessee under such sublease for the full term of such sublease directly to Landlord, such sublease, from and after such notice, constituting a direct lease between Landlord and such sublessee; provided, however, that Landlord shall not (A) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease; (B) be subject to any credit, claim, defense or offset previously accrued in favor of such sublessee against Tenant; (C) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease made without Landlord’s prior written consent or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent; or (D) be required to account for, or be responsible for, any security deposit not actually delivered to Landlord, and then, only to the extent not previously applied to amounts due. If a Default of Tenant occurs and Landlord elects to take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant as sublessor under such sublease and to cause such sublessee to attorn to Landlord, all as provided above, then for the purposes of the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE 8 only, by execution of a sublease, each such subtenant shall be deemed to have agreed that such subtenant and Landlord shall be in privity of contract with each other.

8.5 Collection of Rent. If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease, or sublets or allows occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by any party other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 8, Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, collect rent and other charges from the assignee, sublessee or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent and other charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, sublease, occupancy, collection or modification of any provisions of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, sublessee or occupant as a tenant or a release of Tenant from the payment and further performance of obligations on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder.

8.6 Excess Payments. If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease or sublets or otherwise permits occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent fifty percent (50%) of all Profits (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Profits” means the amount, if any, by which (a) all compensation received by Tenant as a result of such assignment or sublease, or other occupancy, net of reasonable expenses actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease or other

occupancy exceeds (b) in the case of an assignment, the Rent under this Lease, and in the case of a sublease or other occupancy, the portion of the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises subject to such subletting or other occupancy. All payments due pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be made on a monthly basis concurrently with Tenant’s payment of Basic Rent hereunder. Landlord shall have the right, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Tenant, to audit Tenant’s books and records with respect to such excess payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.6 shall impose no obligation on Landlord to consent to any assignment/subletting/occupancy with respect to this Lease.

8.7 Payment of Landlord’s Costs. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as Additional Rent, for any out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and expenses, not to exceed $1,500) incurred by Landlord in connection with each actual or proposed assignment, sublease, occupancy agreement, or other act described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 or other request for approval or execution of any document whatsoever whether or not consummated, including without limitation, the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of a proposed assignee, sublessee or occupant.

8.8 Conditions to Effectiveness of Assignment/Sublet. Any assignment, sublease or occupancy agreement shall not be valid or binding on Landlord and no assignee, sublessee or occupant shall take possession of all or any portion of the Premises unless and until (i) Tenant, Landlord and the assignee, sublessee, or occupant have each executed a consent agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord (which consent agreement shall provide, among other things, that said assignee, sublessee or occupant agrees to be independently bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed, except in the event of a sublease of only a portion of the Premises, in which case such obligations shall only apply to the portion being sublet, and shall otherwise comply with this ARTICLE 8), (ii) Tenant has delivered to Landlord a fully executed counterpart of such assignment, sublease or occupancy agreement acceptable to Landlord, together with a final schedule of expected Profits and a final schedule of expected Amortized Costs, (iii) Tenant has paid to Landlord any sums required pursuant to Section 8.7 hereof, and (iv) Tenant has delivered to Landlord evidence (in the form of a certificate of insurance using Xxxxx 27 or equivalent) of compliance by the assignee/sublessee with the insurance provisions of this Lease.

Landlord reserves the right, exercisable by itself or its employees, agents or contractors, at any time and from time to time without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor or otherwise affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and, except in the event of an emergency, upon prior written notice to Tenant, to make such changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Building (including the Premises) and the fixtures and equipment of the Building, as well as in or to the street entrances, halls, passages, elevators, and stairways of the Building, as it may deem necessary or desirable, and to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the Building; provided, however, that there be no unreasonable obstruction of the right of access to, or material interference with the use and enjoyment of, the Premises by Tenant, except temporarily during construction or other work. Landlord shall perform such activities in a manner which minimizes disruption of the business operations conducted within the Premises, except that Landlord shall not be obligated to employ labor at so-called “overtime” or other premium pay rates.

10.2 Utilities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, electrical service for the Premises shall be governed by the provisions of subsection (b) below.

(b) Electricity.

(i) Arrangement/Metering.

Landlord shall furnish electricity to the Premises using Landlord’s existing wires, risers, conduits and other electrical equipment, and Tenant agrees that its demand requirements shall not adversely affect the Building’s electrical system and will not exceed the maximum from time to time permitted under Applicable Law, and to repair at Tenant’s sole cost any damage caused to the electrical system caused by Tenant’s failure to observe this requirement. As payment for such electricity, Tenant shall remit to Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt by Tenant of an invoice from Landlord therefor as Additional Rent a sum equal to the cost of the electricity consumed at the Premises.

(c) Capacity. Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord that its electrical demand requirement shall not adversely affect the Building’s electrical system. Tenant’s use of electrical energy in the Premises shall not at any time exceed the maximum capacity permitted from time to time under Applicable Law or the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Premises and Tenant shall repair any damage caused by Tenant’s failure to observe such requirements. Any additional feeders or risers necessary to supply electricity to the Premises in addition to those originally installed and all other equipment proper and necessary in connection with such feeders or risers, shall be installed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense, provided that such additional feeders and risers and other equipment are permissible under Applicable Law and insurance regulations and the installation of such feeders or risers will not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or cause or create a dangerous condition or unreasonably interfere with other tenants of the Building. Tenant agrees that it will not make any material alteration or material addition to the electrical equipment and/or appliances in the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) No Landlord Liability. Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure or defect in the supply or character of electrical energy furnished to the Premises by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public or other utility serving the Building with electricity unless due to the act or omission of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents or independent contractors. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur if the quantity, character or supply of electrical energy is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements.

(e) Limitation on Equipment.

(f) Electrical Survey.

From time to time during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right: (i) to have an electrical consultant selected by Landlord make a survey of Tenant’s electric usage, the result of which survey shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant; and (ii) to install a check-meter at the Premises and confirm the Tenant’s actual electrical usage. In the event that such survey shows that Tenant has exceeded the limits set forth in subsection (e) above or such check-meter indicates that the electricity actually being consumed by Tenant exceeds the cost set forth in subsection (b) herein, then, in addition to any other rights Landlord may have hereunder, Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for (i) the cost of such survey, and (ii) the cost of such check-meter and the cost of the additional electricity shown by the same as being consumed in excess of the costs set forth in subsection (b) herein.

In the latter event, Tenant shall pay the cost of the meter and the cost of installation thereof as Additional Rent upon demand and shall keep such meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair, and Landlord shall have access to the Premises, from time to time, to reach such meter. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on such meter, together with the sewer charge based on such meter charges, as and when bills are rendered, and in the event Tenant fails timely to make any such payment, Landlord may, at its option, pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant upon demand as Additional Rent.

(c) Cleaning and janitorial services to the Premises, provided the same are kept in order by Tenant, substantially in accordance with the cleaning standards from time to time in effect for the Building.

Landlord reserves the right to curtail, suspend, interrupt and/or stop the supply and/or flow of water, sewage, electrical current, cleaning, and other services, and to curtail, suspend, interrupt and/or stop use of entrances and/or lobbies serving as access to the Building, or other portions of the Property, without thereby incurring any liability to Tenant, when necessary or advisable, in Landlord’s judgment, by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements necessary or advisable, in Landlord’s judgment, or when prevented from supplying such services or use due to any act or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, invitees or independent contractors or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant or by Force Majeure. No diminution or abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, nor any direct, indirect or consequential damages shall be claimed by Tenant as a result of, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected or reduced by reason of, any such interruption, curtailment, suspension or stoppage in the furnishing of the foregoing services or use, irrespective of the cause thereof. Failure or omission on the part of Landlord to furnish any of the foregoing services or use as provided in this ARTICLE 9 shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, actual or constructive, nor entitle Tenant to an abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, nor render the Landlord liable in damages, nor release Tenant from prompt fulfillment of any of its covenants under this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises are rendered Untenantable (as defined below), the obligation of the Tenant to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent hereunder shall be abated in proportion to the portion of the Premises so rendered Untenantable from the date on which such Untenantability commences until the date immediately following the day on which such Untenantability is cured. For all purposes of this Lease, “Untenantability” shall mean that, for at least three (3) consecutive days following written notice to Landlord of such condition, due to Landlord’s negligent interruption or willful interruption of Essential Services, as defined below, Tenant shall not be reasonably able to use and occupy or to have access to the Premises, or a portion of the Premises, as the case may be, for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business operations without extraordinary and unreasonable measures being required to be taken by Tenant in order to do so and Tenant does not use or occupy the same during said period. As used herein, “Essential Services” shall mean the following services: access to the Premises, HVAC, water and sewer/septic service and electricity, but only to the extent that Landlord has an obligation to provide same to Tenant under this Lease.

ARTICLE 11

REAL ESTATE TAXES

11.1 Payments on Account of Real Estate Taxes.

(a) “Tax Year” shall mean a twelve (12) month period commencing on July 1 and falling wholly or partially within the Term, and “Taxes” shall mean: (i) all taxes, assessments (special or otherwise), betterments, levies, fees and all other government levies, exactions and charges of every kind and nature, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, which are, at any time prior to or during the Term, imposed or levied upon or assessed against the Property or any portion thereof, or against any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other rent of any kind or nature payable to Landlord by anyone on account of the ownership, leasing or operation of the Property and any portion thereof, or which arise on account of or in respect of the ownership, development, leasing, operation or use of the Property

or any portion thereof; (ii) all gross receipts taxes or similar taxes imposed or levied upon, assessed against or measured by any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other rent of any kind or nature or other sum payable to Landlord by anyone on account of the ownership, development, leasing, operation, or use of the Property or any portion thereof; (iii) all value added, use and similar taxes at any time levied, assessed or payable on account of the ownership, development, leasing operation, or use of the Property or any portion thereof; and (iv) reasonable expenses of any proceeding for abatement of any of the foregoing items included in Taxes; but the amount of special taxes or special assessments included in Taxes shall be limited to the amount of the installment (plus any interest, other than penalty interest, payable thereon) of such special tax or special assessment required to be paid during the year in respect of which such Taxes are being determined. There shall be excluded from Taxes all income, estate, succession, franchise, inheritance and transfer taxes of Landlord; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so that a capital levy, franchise, income, profits, sales, rental, use and occupancy, excise or other tax or charge shall in whole or in part be substituted for, or added to, such ad valorem tax and levied against, or be payable by, Landlord with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, such tax or charge shall be included in the term “Taxes” for the purposes of this Article.

(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes in excess of the Taxes for Fiscal Year 2018 (the “Tax Base Year”), such amount to be apportioned for any portion of a Tax Year in which the Term Commencement Date falls or the Term expires.

(c) Estimated payments by Tenant for Taxes shall he made on the first day of each and every calendar month after the Tax Base Year during the Term of this Lease, in the fashion herein provided for the payment of Basic Rent. Tenant’s monthly estimated payment for Taxes shall be sufficient to provide Landlord with a sum equal to 1/12 of Tenant’s required payment for Taxes for the then current Tax Year, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time. Once annually, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the amount of the tax bills for the prior Tax Year and the computation of Tenant’s required payment for Taxes. If estimated payments for Taxes theretofore made by Tenant for the Tax Year covered by such bills exceed the required payment for Taxes for such Tax Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Tenant for Taxes (or promptly refund such overpayment if requested by Tenant, or if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but if the required payments for Taxes for such Tax Year are greater than estimated payments for Taxes theretofore made for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after being so advised by Landlord in writing, and the obligation to make such payment for any period within the Term shall survive expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

11.2 Abatement. If Landlord shall receive any tax refund or reimbursement of Taxes or sum in lieu thereof (a “Tax Refund”) with respect to any Tax Year after the Tax Base Year all or any portion of which falls within the Term, then Landlord shall recalculate Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes for the applicable Tax Year by (i) deducting the Tax Refund (exclusive of any interest, and apportioned if such refund is for a Tax Year a portion of which falls outside the Term), after deducting Landlord’s reasonable expenses in obtaining same from the Taxes actually paid by Landlord for the applicable Tax Year, (ii) deducting the amount of

Taxes for the Base Year and (iii) multiplying such amount by Tenant’s Proportionate Share, provided, that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive more than the payments for Taxes made by Tenant for such Tax Year pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 11.1.

ARTICLE 12

OPERATING EXPENSES

12.1 Definitions.

(a) “Operating Year” shall mean each calendar year all or any part of which falls within the Term;

(b) “Operating Expenses” shall mean the aggregate costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the operation, administration, cleaning, repair, replacement, maintenance and management of the Property, including without limitation, as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, provided that if during any portion of the Operating Year for which Operating Expenses are being computed, less than all of the Building was occupied by tenants or Landlord was not supplying all tenants with the services being supplied under this Lease, actual Operating Expenses incurred shall be extrapolated reasonably by Landlord on an item by item basis to the estimated Operating Expenses that would have been incurred if the Building were fully occupied for such Operating Year and such services were being supplied to all tenants, and such extrapolated amount shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be the Operating Expenses for such Operating Year.

12.2 Tenant’s Payment of Operating Expenses.

(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Operating Expenses in excess of Operating Expenses for calendar year 2018 (the “Operating Expense Base Year”) multiplied by Tenant’s Proportionate Share, such amount to be apportioned for any portion of an Operating Year in which the Term Commencement Date falls or the Term expires.

(b) Estimated payments by Tenant for Operating Expenses shall be made on the first day of each and every calendar month after the Operating Expense Base Year during the Term of this Lease, in the fashion herein provided for the payment of Basic Rent. The monthly amount so to be paid to Landlord shall be sufficient to provide Landlord by the end of each Operating Year a sum equal to Tenant’s required payment for Operating Expenses for such Operating Year, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time during each Operating Year. After the end of each Operating Year, Landlord or Landlord’s Agent shall submit to Tenant a reasonably detailed statement of Operating Expenses for the prior Operating Year, and Landlord or Landlord’s Agent shall certify to the accuracy thereof. If estimated payments for Operating Expenses theretofore made by Tenant for such Operating Year exceed Tenant’s required payment for Operating Expenses for such Operating Year according to such statement, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses (or promptly refund such overpayment if requested by Tenant or if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but if the required payments for Operating Expenses for such Operating Year are greater than the

estimated payments (if any) theretofore made by Tenant for Operating Expenses for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after being so advised by Landlord in writing, the difference between the estimated and required Operating Expense Payments, and the obligation to make such payment for any period within the Term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 12.2 or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall also pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses commencing upon Tenant’s early entry as described in Section 0.

12.3 Audit Rights. Tenant shall have the right to examine, copy and audit Landlord’s books and records establishing Operating Expenses for any Operating Year for a period of one (1) year following the date that Tenant receives the statement of Operating Expenses for such Operating Year from Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice of its intention to examine and audit such books and records, and such examination and audit shall take place at such place within the continental United States as Landlord routinely maintains such books and records, unless Landlord elects to have such examination and audit take place in another location designated by Landlord in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any such audit shall be conducted by a certified public accountant, and all costs of the examination and audit shall be borne by Tenant; provided, however, that if such examination and audit establishes that the actual Operating Expenses for the Operating Year in question are less than the amount set forth as the annual Operating Expenses on the annual statement delivered to Tenant by at least five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of such examination and audit. If, pursuant to the audit, the payments made for such Operating Year by Tenant exceed Tenant’s required payment on account thereof for such Operating Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses (or promptly refund such overpayment if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but, if the payments made by Tenant for such Operating Year are less than Tenant’s required payment as established by the examination and audit, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after conclusion of the examination and audit, and the obligation to make such payment for any period within the Term shall survive expiration of the Term. Tenant shall be required to deliver to Landlord a copy of its contract with its auditor and a copy of all reports produced by its auditor, and Tenant shall not be permitted to engage an auditor which is paid on a contingency or percentage basis. If Tenant does not elect to exercise its right to examine and audit Landlord’s books and records for any Operating Year within the time period provided for by this paragraph, Tenant shall have no further right to challenge Landlord’s statement of Operating Expenses.

ARTICLE 13

(c) Insureds/Umbrella Policy. With respect to the above-referenced commercial general liability and property insurance policies:

(i) Insured/Named Insureds. Tenant shall be named as an insured and Landlord, Landlord’s Managing Agent and such other persons as are in privity of estate with Landlord as may be set out in a notice to Tenant from time to time, shall named as additional insureds; and

(ii) Umbrella Policy. Tenant may satisfy such insurance requirements by including the Premises in a so-called “blanket” and/or “umbrella” insurance policy, provided that the amount of coverage allocated to the Premises shall fulfill the requirements set forth herein. Tenant’s commercial general liability insurance policy shall be written on an “occurrence” basis, and shall be in at least the amounts of the General Liability Insurance specified in Section 1.1 or such greater amounts as Landlord in its reasonable discretion shall from time to time request.

(d) Tenant Casualty Insurance. Tenant agrees to maintain in full force from the date upon which Tenant first enters the Premises for any reason, throughout the Term of this Lease, and thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of all or any part of the Premises, property insurance (ISO Causes of Loss - Special Form) on a “replacement cost” basis, insuring Tenant’s Removable Property, the Initial Work and any Alterations made by Tenant pursuant to ARTICLE 7, to the extent that the same have not become the property of Landlord.

(e) Tenant’s General Insurance Requirements. With respect to all insurance which Tenant is required to carry hereunder. Tenant shall, prior to entering the Premises for any reason, deliver to Landlord a duplicate original policy or a certificate of insurance satisfactory to Landlord with respect thereto.

(f) Tenant’s Risk. Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to use such other portions of the Property as Tenant is herein given the right to use, at Tenant’s own risk. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, or Tenant’s Agents, contractors or invitees for any damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, claims for the interruption of or loss to Tenant’s business) based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to any portion of the Premises or the Property, any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance and/or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any other tenants of the Building or of any other person or persons, or any leakage in any part or portion of the Premises or the Building, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building, except for personal injury to Tenant’s Agents, invitees and independent contractors when due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents. Any goods, property or personal effects stored or placed in or about the Premises shall be at the sole

risk of Tenant, and neither Landlord nor Landlord’s insurers shall in any manner be held responsible therefor. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any indirect or consequential damages resulting from Landlord’s acts or omissions.

13.3 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord agrees to maintain in full force and effect, during the Term of this Lease, property damage insurance with such deductibles and in such amounts as may from time to time be carried by reasonably prudent owners of similar buildings in the area in which the Property is located, provided that in no event shall Landlord be required to carry other than fire and extended coverage insurance or insurance in amounts greater than 80% of the actual insurable cash value of the Building (excluding footings and foundations). Landlord may satisfy such insurance requirements by including the Property in a so-called “blanket” insurance policy, provided that the amount of coverage allocated to the Property shall fulfill the foregoing requirements.

13.4 Waiver of Subrogation. The parties hereto shall each procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement to, any property insurance policy on the Premises or any personal property, fixtures or equipment located thereon or therein, pursuant to which the insurer waives subrogation or consents to a waiver of right of recovery in favor of either party and its respective Agents and those claiming by, through or under each such party. Having obtained such clauses and/or endorsements, each party hereby agrees that it will not make any claim against or seek to recover from the other or its Agents for any loss or damage to its property or the property of others resulting from fire or other perils covered by such property insurance.

ARTICLE 14

FIRE, EMINENT DOMAIN, ETC.

14.1 Landlord’s Right of Termination. If (a) the Premises or the Building are substantially damaged by fire or casualty (the term “substantially damaged” meaning damage of such a character that the same cannot, in the ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within sixty (60) days from the time that repair work would commence), or (b) the Premises or Building are damaged and all or a portion of such damage is uninsured, or (c) part of the Building or the Property is taken by any exercise of the right of eminent domain, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease (even if Landlord’s entire interest in the Premises may have been divested) by giving notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election so to do within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such casualty or the effective date of such taking, whereupon this Lease shall terminate on the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after the date of such notice or (b) the effective date of such taking with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.

14.2 Restoration; Tenant’s Right of Termination. If (a) the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty, or (b) all or part of the Building is taken by right of eminent domain; and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 14.1, Landlord shall thereafter use reasonable efforts (to the extent practicable in Landlord’s reasonable determination in light of the nature of any taking or the election by Landlord’s lender to apply all or a portion of any resulting insurance proceeds to the repayment of Landlord’s loan) to restore the Building and the Premises (excluding the Tenant’s Exclusive Facilities, and any Alterations) to proper condition for Tenant’s use and occupation, provided that Landlord’s obligation shall be limited

to the amount of insurance and eminent domain proceeds available therefor. If, for any reason, such restoration shall not be substantially completed within twelve (12) months after the expiration of the ninety (90) day period referred to in Section 14.1 (which twelve (12) month period may be extended for such periods of time as Landlord is prevented from proceeding with or completing such restoration due to Force Majeure, but in no event for more than an additional three (3) months), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord thereof within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such period as so extended, provided that such restoration is not completed within such period. This Lease shall cease and come to an end without further liability or obligation on the part of either party (except with respect to obligations which are expressly stated herein to survive a termination) thirty (30) days after such giving of notice by Tenant unless, within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord substantially completes such restoration, subject to the completion of minor “punch list” items, the completion of which will not materially interfere with Tenant’s business operations. Such right of termination shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for Landlord’s failure so to complete such restoration, and time shall be of the essence with respect thereto. In addition, if the Premises or the Building are substantially damaged by fire or casualty or taken by any exercise of the right of eminent domain during the final nine (9) months of the then current Term (i.e., not taking account of Tenant’s exercise of any applicable Extension Option), and the restoration thereof is expected to take sixty (60) days or more to complete, Tenant may, at its option, elect to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord given within the ninety (90) day period referenced above, in which case this Lease shall cease and come to an end within thirty (30) days of the date of such termination notice without further liability or obligation on the part of either party (except with respect to obligations which are expressly stated herein to survive a termination).

14.3 Abatement of Rent. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty, Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant shall xxxxx proportionately for the period during which, by reason of such damage, Tenant’s use of the Premises is prevented, having regard for the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue Tenant’s use of all or an undamaged portion of the Premises due to such damage, but such abatement or reduction shall end if and when either (a) Landlord shall have substantially completed sufficient restoration that Tenant is able to use the Premises and the Premises are in substantially the condition it was in prior to such damage (excluding any Tenant’s Exclusive Facilities, and Alterations made by Tenant pursuant to ARTICLE 7 and Tenant’s Removable Property), or (b) Tenant shall have commenced occupancy and use of the Building. If the Premises shall be affected by any exercise of the power of eminent domain, Basic Rent and Operating Expenses payable by Tenant shall be justly and equitably abated and reduced according to the nature and extent of the loss of use of the Premises suffered by Tenant. In no event shall Landlord have any liability for damages to Tenant for inconvenience, annoyance, or interruption of business arising from any fire or other casualty or eminent domain.

14.4 Condemnation Award. Landlord shall have and hereby reserves and excepts, and Tenant hereby grants and assigns to Landlord, all rights to recover for damages to the Property and the leasehold interest hereby created, and to compensation accrued or hereafter to accrue by reason of any taking, by exercise of the right of eminent domain, and by way of confirming the foregoing, Tenant hereby grants and assigns, and covenants with Landlord to grant and assign to Landlord, all rights to such damages or compensation, and covenants to

deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request, and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver in Tenant’s name all such assignments and assurances. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in a separate condemnation proceeding a claim for the value of any of Tenant’s Removable Property installed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense and for relocation expenses, provided that such action shall not affect the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the taking authority.

ARTICLE 15

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

15.1 Tenant.

(a) Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate containing such statements of fact as Landlord reasonably requests.

(b) Financial Statements. Tenant shall, without charge therefor, at any time, within fifteen (15) days following a request by Landlord (but in no event more than once during each calendar year during the Term, unless such financial statements are required in connection with an actual or potential sale or financing of the Property), deliver to Landlord, or to any other party designated by Landlord, a true and accurate copy of Tenant’s most recent financial statements.

15.2 Landlord.

(a) Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, on payment of the Rent and observing, keeping and performing all of the other terms and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed, kept and performed, Tenant shall lawfully, peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises during the Term hereof, without hindrance or ejection by any persons lawfully claiming under Landlord to have title to the Premises superior to Tenant. The foregoing covenant of quiet enjoyment is in lieu of any other covenant, express or implied.

15.3 As to Both Parties.

(a) Recording. Tenant agrees not to record this Lease, but, if the Term of this Lease (including any extended term) is seven (7) years or longer, each party hereto agrees, on the request of the other, to execute a notice of lease in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, or such other form as may be mandated by the state and/or county in which the Property is located. In no event shall such document set forth the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the provisions contained in this Lease, and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this Lease. At Landlord’s request, promptly upon expiration of or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a release of any document recorded in the real property records for the location of the Property evidencing this Lease, and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute any such

document if Tenant fails to respond to Landlord’s request to do so within ten (10) days. The obligations of Tenant under this subsection (a) shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of the Term.

ARTICLE 16

HOLDING OVER; SURRENDER

16.1 Holding Over. Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the Term of this Lease shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rent equal to one and one-half times the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to such expiration plus one and one-half times the Additional Rent herein provided (prorated on a daily basis). If Tenant holds over for more than thirty (30) days, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, direct and/or indirect, sustained by reason of any such holding over. In all other respects, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable.

16.2 Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises in the condition in which the same are required to be kept pursuant to Section 9.2, together with the Initial Work and all Alterations (except as hereinafter provided), excepting only ordinary wear and use and damage by fire or other casualty for which, under other provisions of this Lease, Tenant has no responsibility to repair or restore. Upon such expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove from the Premises (i) all of Tenant’s Removable Property, (ii) to the extent specified by Landlord at the time of their installation, all the Initial Work and Alterations and all partitions wholly within the Premises unless installed initially by Landlord in preparing the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy; and shall repair any damages to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal, and (iii) all telecommunications lines and cabling installed by Tenant within the Premises or elsewhere in the Building to the extent exclusively serving the Premises. Any Tenant’s Removable Property which shall remain in the Building or on the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall be deemed conclusively to have been abandoned, and either may be retained by Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

ARTICLE 17

RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES

17.1 Rights of Mortgagees. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases and/or underlying leases and to all matters currently of record, including without limitation, deeds, easements and land disposition agreements, and the lien and terms of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or similar encumbrance (collectively, with any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, a “Mortgage,” and the holder thereof from time to time the “Holder”) from time to time encumbering the Premises and to each advance made thereunder, whether executed and delivered prior to or subsequent to the date of this Lease, unless the Holder shall elect otherwise. If this Lease is subordinate to any Mortgage and the Holder or any other party shall succeed to the interest of Landlord (such Holder or other party, a “Successor”), at the election of the Holder or Successor, Tenant shall attorn to the Holder or Successor and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect between the Holder or Successor and Tenant. Tenant agrees to execute such instruments of subordination

or attornment in confirmation of the foregoing agreement as the Holder or Successor reasonably may request, and Tenant hereby appoints the Holder or Successor as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute such subordination or attornment agreement upon default of Tenant in complying with the Holder’s or Successor’s request. Landlord shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the holder of any existing mortgage covering the Building.

17.2 Assignment of Rents. With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the Holder of a Mortgage on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees that the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the Holder of such Mortgage shall never be treated as an assumption by such Holder of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such Holder shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect and, except as aforesaid, such Holder shall he treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such Holder’s Mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises.

17.3 Notice to Holder. After receiving notice from Landlord of any Holder of a Mortgage which includes the Premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord alleging any default by Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such Holder (provided Tenant shall have been famished with the name and address of such Holder), and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such Holder shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

ARTICLE 18

SECURITY DEPOSIT

18.1 Security Deposit. Concurrently with the execution hereof, Tenant agrees that it shall deliver to Landlord the Security Deposit specified in Section 1.1 hereof, and Tenant hereby grants Landlord a first priority security interest therein.

18.2 Application of Security Deposit. Any Security Deposit shall be held and applied by the Landlord as set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall hold any Security Deposit (or so much thereof as has not been applied by Landlord pursuant hereto) until that date which is two (2) months following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term as security for the payment and performance of all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Landlord shall have the right from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have, to apply such Security Deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages arising from, or to cure, any Default of Tenant. If Landlord shall so apply any or all of such Security Deposit, Tenant shall immediately upon demand deposit with Landlord the amount so applied to restore the Security Deposit to the full original amount thereof. Landlord shall return the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this Section, to Tenant on or before that date which is two (2) months following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease and surrender of possession of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord at such time, provided that there is then existing no Default of Tenant (nor any circumstance which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a Default of Tenant).

Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the Security Deposit and may commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. If Landlord assigns Landlord’s interest under this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any part thereof not previously applied, shall be turned over by Landlord to Landlord’s assignee, and, if so turned over, Tenant agrees to look solely to such assignee for proper application of the Security Deposit in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE 18.

The Holder of a Mortgage shall not be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such Security Deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such Security Deposit shall have been received in hand by such Holder.

ARTICLE 19

DEFAULT; REMEDIES

19.1 Tenant’s Default.

(a) If at any time subsequent to the date of this Lease any one or more of the following events (each a “Default of Tenant”) shall happen:

(i) Tenant shall fail to pay the Basic Rent or Additional Rent hereunder when due and such failure shall continue for seven (7) days after written notice to Tenant from Landlord; or

(iv) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any other covenant herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed and Tenant shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant specifying such neglect or failure; provided, however that if such failure is of such a nature that Tenant cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have an additional period, not to exceed ninety (90) days after the notice described in this subsection (iv), to remedy same, so long as Tenant promptly commences (and in any event within such thirty (30) day period) and prosecutes such remedy to completion with diligence and continuity; or

(v) Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises shall be taken on execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant; or

(vi) Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall be adjudicated insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or future Federal, State or other statute, law or regulation for the relief of debtors (other than the Bankruptcy Code, as hereinafter defined), or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or

(ix) The occurrence of any of the events described in subsections (a)(vi)-(a)(viii) with respect to any guarantor of all or any portions of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease;

(b) For purposes of subsection (a)(v) above, an “Event of Bankruptcy” means the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant, or the entry of an order for relief against Tenant, under Chapter 7, 11, or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the term “Bankruptcy Code” means 11 U.S.C. §101, et seq. If an Event of Bankruptcy occurs, then the trustee of Tenant’s bankruptcy estate or Tenant as debtor-in-possession may (subject to final approval of the court) assume this Lease, and may subsequently assign it, only if it does the following within sixty (60) days after the date of the filing of the voluntary petition, or the entry of the order for relief (or such additional time as a court of competent jurisdiction may grant, for cause, upon a motion made within the original sixty-day period):

(i) files a motion to assume the Lease with the appropriate court;

(ii) satisfies all of the following conditions, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable:

(A) cures all Defaults of Tenant under this Lease or provides Landlord with Adequate Assurance (as defined below) that it will (x) cure all monetary Defaults of Tenant hereunder within ten (10) days from the date of the assumption; and (y) cure all nonmonetary Defaults of Tenant hereunder within thirty (30) days from the date of the assumption;

(C) provides Landlord with Adequate Assurance of Future Performance (as defined below) of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and

(D) delivers to Landlord a written statement that the conditions herein have been satisfied.

(c) For purposes only of the foregoing subsection (b), and in addition to any other requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, any future federal bankruptcy law and Applicable Law, “Adequate Assurance” means at least meeting the following conditions, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable:

(i) entering an order segregating sufficient cash to pay Landlord and any other person or entity under subsection (b) above; and

(ii) granting to Landlord a valid first lien and security interest (in form acceptable to Landlord) in all property comprising the Tenant’s “property of the estate,” as that term is defined in Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, which lien and security interest secures the trustee’s or debtor-in-possession’s obligation to cure the monetary and nonmonetary defaults under the Lease within the periods set forth in subsection (b) above.

(d) For purposes only of subsection (b) above, and in addition to any other requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, any future federal bankruptcy law and other Applicable Law, “Adequate Assurance of Future Performance” means at least meeting the following conditions, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable:

(i) the trustee or debtor-in-possession depositing with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of rent and other monetary obligations, an amount equal to the sum of two (2) months’ Basic Rent plus an amount equal to two (2) months’ installments for Taxes and Operating Expenses and such other Additional Rent as may then be due and payable hereunder;

(ii) the trustee or the debtor-in-possession agreeing to pay in advance, on each day that the Basic Rent is payable, the monthly installments on account of Additional Rent;

(iii) the trustee or debtor-in-possession providing adequate assurance of the source of the rent and other consideration due under this Lease; and

(iv) Tenant’s bankruptcy estate and the trustee or debtor-in-possession providing Adequate Assurance that the bankruptcy estate (and any successor after the conclusion of the Tenant’s bankruptcy proceedings) will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that the bankruptcy estate (and any successor after the conclusion of the Tenant’s bankruptcy proceedings) will have sufficient funds to fulfill Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

(e) If the trustee or the debtor-in-possession assumes the Lease under subsection (b) above and applicable bankruptcy law, it may assign its interest in this Lease only if the proposed assignee first provides Landlord with Adequate Assurance of Future Performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, and if Landlord determines, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, that the assignment of this Lease will not breach any other lease, or any mortgage, financing agreement, or other agreement relating to the Property by which Landlord is then bound or to which the Property is then subject (and Landlord shall not be required to obtain consents or waivers from any third party required under any lease, mortgage, financing agreement, or other such agreement by which Landlord is then bound).

(f) For purposes only of subsection (e) above, and in addition to any other requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, any future federal bankruptcy law and other Applicable Law, “Adequate Assurance of Future Performance” means at least the satisfaction of the following conditions, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable:

(i) the proposed assignee submitting a current financial statement, audited by a certified public accountant, that allows a net worth and working capital in amounts determined in the reasonable business judgment of Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant’s obligation under this Lease; and

(ii) if requested by Landlord in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the proposed assignee obtaining a guarantee (in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord) from one or more persons who satisfy Landlord’s standards of creditworthiness.

19.2 Landlord’s Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Default of Tenant, Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, specifying a date not less than five (5) days after the giving of such notice on which this Lease shall terminate and this Lease shall come to an end on the date specified therein as fully and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the Term of this Lease, and Tenant will then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition required in Section 9.2, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

(b) If this Lease shall have been terminated as provided in this Section 19.2, then Landlord may re-enter the Premises, either by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and remove and dispossess Tenant and all other persons and any and all property from the same.

(c) If this Lease shall have been terminated as provided in this Section 19.2, Tenant shall pay Rent hereunder up to the time of such termination, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such termination, and

whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated current damages: (x) the Rent due hereunder if such termination had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises, after deducting all expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, Attorneys’ Fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting; and (y) if this Lease provides that Tenant was entitled to occupy the Premises for any period of time without paying Basic Rent, the amount of Basic Rent that Tenant would have paid for any such period. Tenant shall pay the portion of such liquidated current damages referred to in clause (x) above to Landlord monthly on the days which the Basic Rent would have been payable hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated, and Tenant shall pay the portion of such liquidated current damages referred to in clause (y) above to Landlord upon such termination.

(d) At any time after termination of this Lease as provided in this Section 19.2, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any such liquidated current damages and in lieu of all such current damages beyond the date of such demand, Tenant, at Landlord’s election, shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Rent (including Taxes, Operating Expenses and other charges payable under this Lease) which would be payable hereunder from the date of such demand assuming that annual payments by Tenant on account of Taxes and Operating Expenses would be the same as the payments required for the immediately preceding Operating Year or Tax Year for what would be the then unexpired Term of this Lease as if the same remained in effect, over the then fair net rental value of the Premises for the same period.

(e) In case of any Default of Tenant, re-entry, expiration and dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may, at its option (i) relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option be equal to, less than, or in excess of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term of this Lease and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers necessary or advisable to relet the same, and (ii) make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord considers necessary or advisable for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under Applicable Law in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease.

(f) Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation to pay such sums or do any act which requires the expenditure of monies which may be necessary or appropriate by reason of the failure or neglect of Tenant to perform any of the provisions of this Lease, and in the event of the exercise of such right by Landlord, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand all such sums, together with interest thereon per annum at a rate equal to the greater of three percent (3%) over the prime rate in effect from time to time at Bank of America (or any successor thereto) or twelve percent (12%) (but in no event greater than the maximum lawful rate), as Additional Rent. Any payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder not paid when due shall, at the option of Landlord, bear interest per annum at a rate

equal to the greater of three percent (3%) over the prime rate in effect from time to time at Bank of America (or any successor thereto), or twelve percent (12%) (but in no event greater than the maximum lawful rate) from the due date thereof and shall be payable forthwith on demand by Landlord as Additional Rent.

19.3 Additional Rent. As referred to in Section 19.1 and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant shall fail to pay when due Additional Rent, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as Landlord has hereunder for Tenant’s failure to pay Basic Rent.

19.4 Remedies Cumulative. The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may at any time be entitled lawfully, and Landlord may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for.

19.5 Attorneys’ Fees. Tenant shall pay to Landlord reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in enforcing its rights hereunder or occasioned by any Default of Tenant, if and to the extent that Landlord prevails.

19.6 Waiver.

(a) Failure on the part of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any action or non-action on the part of the other, no matter how long the same may continue, shall never be a waiver by Tenant or Landlord of any of their respective rights hereunder. Further, no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by Landlord or Tenant shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant to or of any action by the other requiring such consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s or Tenant’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by the other.

(b) No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than that due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be treated otherwise than as a payment on account of the earliest installment of any payment due from Tenant hereunder. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant.

19.7 Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall in no event be in default under this Lease unless Landlord shall neglect or fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder and shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after written notice to Landlord specifying such neglect or failure, or if such failure is of such a nature that Landlord cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall fail to commence promptly (and in any event within such thirty (30) day period) to remedy the same and to prosecute such remedy to completion with diligence and continuity.

19.8 Tenant’s Remedies. In the event of Landlord’s default under this Lease, and failure to cure same within any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall have the remedies available to it at law and in equity, as the same may be limited or waived by the terms hereof. Tenant acknowledges that its covenant to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent hereunder is independent of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, and that in the event that Tenant shall have a claim against Landlord, Tenant shall not have the right to deduct the amount allegedly owed to Tenant from any Basic Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder, it being understood that Tenant’s sole remedy for recovering upon such claim shall be to bring an independent legal action against Landlord.

19.9 Landlord’s Liability.

(a) General. Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s equity interest in the Property at the time of recovery for recovery of any judgment against Landlord, and agrees that neither Landlord nor any Successor shall be personally liable for any such judgment, or for the payment of any monetary obligation to Tenant. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or any Successor, or to take any action not involving the personal liability of Landlord or any Successor to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s or any Successor’s assets other than Landlord’s or any Successor’s equity interest in the Property. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall ever be liable to the other for any loss of business or any other indirect or consequential damages from whatever cause, except as set forth in Section 16.1.

(b) Transfer of Title. In no event shall the acquisition of Landlord’s interest in the Property by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases Landlord’s entire interest in the Property back to the seller thereof be treated as an assumption by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, and its successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lease to such purchaser. For all purposes, such seller-lessee, and its successors in title, shall be the Landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord’s position shall have been assumed by such purchaser-lessor. Except as provided in this subsection (b), upon any transfer of title to the Property by Landlord, Landlord shall be entirely freed and relieved from the performance and observance of all covenants, obligations and liability under this Lease.

The cost of services, utilities, materials and supplies furnished or used in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, cleaning, repaving, management and protection of the Property, or any portion thereof and the parking areas, access roads, utilities, and other facilities servicing or benefiting the Property.

If, during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall make a capital expenditure which is reasonably calculated to reduce Operating Expenses or is required under any governmental laws, regulations or ordinances which were not applicable to the Building as of the Term Commencement Date, the total cost of which is not properly includible in Operating Expenses for the Operating Year in which it was made, there shall nevertheless be included in such Operating Expenses for the Operating Year in which it was made and in Operating Expenses for each succeeding Operating Year the annual charge-off of such capital expenditure. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, including without limitation Section 8.1 hereof, Landlord shall not be required to make any capital expenditures unless the Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines that the same is necessary. Annual charge-off shall be determined by dividing the original capital expenditure plus an interest factor, reasonably determined by Landlord, as being the interest rate then being charged for long-term mortgages by institutional lenders on like properties within the locality in which the Property is located, by the number of years of useful life of the capital expenditure; and the useful life shall be determined reasonably by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in effect at the time of making such expenditure.

EXHIBIT F

Appraisers’ Determination of Fair Market Rent

The term “Appraisers’ Determination” refers to the following procedures and requirements:

For the purpose of fixing the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Term, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon an appraiser who shall be a member of the M.A.I. or Counselor’s of Real Estate (CRE) (or successor professional organizations) and shall have at least ten (10) years experience appraising rental values of property in the Waltham market area.

If Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon an appraiser by the date which is ten (10) days after an Impasse, as defined in Section 1.1 (the “Appraiser Selection Deadline”), each of Landlord and Tenant shall, within ten (10) additional days, that is, by the date which is twenty (20) days after an Impasse, select an appraiser with the foregoing qualifications whereupon each of said appraisers shall, within five (5) days of their selection hereunder, select a third appraiser with the foregoing qualifications. The Fair Market Rent for the Extension Term shall thereafter be determined to be the amount equal to the average of the two appraisals which are closest in dollar amount to each other except that if all three appraisals are apart in equal amounts, the appraisal which falls in the middle shall be the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Term. If either party fails to select an appraiser by the Appraiser Selection Deadline, then the appraiser selected by the other party, if selected by the Appraiser Selection Deadline, shall be the sole appraiser. Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the expense of any and all appraisers. The appraiser(s) shall be obligated to make a determination of Fair Market Rent within thirty (30) days of the appointment of either the single appraiser (if only one) and within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third appraiser (if three are so appointed).

In determining the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Term, the appraisers shall consider, among other things, the then current arm’s length basic rent being charged to tenants for comparable buildings in the Waltham market area.

The appraisers shall not have the right to modify any provision of this Lease and shall only determine the Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the Extension Term, which shall constitute the Basic Rent under this Lease for the Extension Term; provided, however, that in no event shall the Annual Basic Rent for the Extension Term be less than the Annual Basic Rent during the last year of the Term immediately prior to the commencement of the Extension Term.
