(b) The provisions of paragraph (a) shall not apply to either: transactions with an entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated, or to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred; or transactions with any entity (a “Tenant Affiliate”) which controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant; provided that in either such event, at the time of such transaction there exists no Default of Tenant hereunder and:

Any consent by Landlord to a particular subletting or occupancy shall not in any way diminish the prohibition stated in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.1 or the continuing liability of the original named Tenant. No assignment or subletting hereunder shall relieve Tenant from its obligations hereunder and Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable therefor. No such assignment, subletting, or occupancy shall affect or be contrary to Permitted Uses. Any consent by Landlord to a particular assignment, subletting or occupancy shall be revocable, and any assignment, subletting or occupancy shall be void ab initio, if the same shall fail to require that such assignee, subtenant or occupant agree therein 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.

6.2	CONSENT TO SUBLEASE. (a) Notwithstanding the prohibition set forth in Section 6.1(a), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to one or more sublettings requested by Tenant, provided further that:

The foregoing shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold its consent.

(d) With respect to each and every sublease authorized by Landlord under the provisions of this Article, it is further agreed that any such sublease shall provide that: (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 subtenant 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) each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease; (iv) Landlord may enforce the provisions of the sublease, including collection of rents; (v) in the event of termination of this Lease or reentry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, at its sole discretion and option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord but nevertheless Landlord shall not (A) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease; (B) be subject to any defense or offset previously accrued in favor of the subtenant against Tenant; or (C) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease made without Landlord’s written consent or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s rent.

6.6

ACCEPTANCE OF RENT. If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee. If all or any part of the Premises are sublet, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after default by Tenant and expiration of Tenant’s time to cure such default, collect rent from the subtenant. In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount collected to payment of Rents, but no such assignment, subletting, or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Article, an acceptance of the assignee or subtenant as a lessee, or a release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

ARTICLE VII

RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS AND CONDITION OF PREMISES;

SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED BY LANDLORD

7.1

LANDLORD REPAIRS. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord agrees to keep in good order, condition and repair the roof, public areas, exterior walls (including exterior glass) and structure of the Building (including all plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems installed by Landlord, but specifically excluding any supplemental heating, ventilation or air conditioning equipment or systems installed at Tenant’s request or as a result of Tenant’s requirements in excess of building standard design criteria), all insofar as they affect the Premises, except that Landlord shall in no event be responsible to Tenant for the repair of glass in the Premises, the doors (or related glass and finish work) leading to the Premises, or any condition in the Premises or the Building to the extent caused by any act or neglect of Tenant, its invitees or contractors. Landlord shall not be responsible to make any improvements or repairs to the Building other than as expressly stated in this Section 7.1 provided, unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease.

(b) Landlord shall never be liable for any failure to make repairs which Landlord has undertaken to make under the provisions of this Section 7.1 or elsewhere in this Lease, unless Tenant has given notice to Landlord of the need to make such repairs, and Landlord has failed to commence to make such repairs within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, or fails to proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs.

7.2

TENANT’S AGREEMENT. (a) Tenant will keep neat and clean and maintain in good order, condition and repair the Premises and every part thereof, excepting only those repairs for which Landlord is responsible under the terms of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear of the Premises excepted, and damage by fire or other casualty and as a consequence of the exercise of the power of eminent domain excepted, and shall surrender the Premises at the end of the Term of this Lease in such condition. Without limitation, Tenant shall continually during the Term of this Lease maintain the Premises in accordance with all laws, codes and ordinances from time to time in effect and all directions, rules and regulations of the proper officers of governmental agencies having jurisdiction, and of the applicable board of fire underwriters, and shall, at Tenant’s own expense, obtain all permits, licenses and the like required by applicable law. To the extent that the Premises constitute a “Place of Public Accommodation” within the meaning of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, Tenant shall be responsible, subject to the requirements of Section 5.2, for making the Premises comply with such Act. In addition, if due to any alteration, addition or improvement made by Tenant, other portions of the Building or the Property must be altered in order to comply with any legal requirement, Landlord may make such alteration at Tenant’s cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of Article XII, to the maximum extent this provision may be enforceable according to law, but subject to any applicable waivers of claims and rights of subrogation contained in this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of repairs which may be made necessary by reason of damage to the Building to the extent caused by any act or neglect of Tenant, or its contractors or invitees (including any damage by fire or other casualty arising therefrom) and, if the premium or rates payable with respect to any policy or policies of insurance purchased by Landlord or Agent with respect to the Building or the Property increases as a result of payment by the insurer of any claim arising from any act or neglect of Tenant, or its contractors or invitees, Tenant shall pay its comparative share of such increase, from time to time, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor by Landlord, as an additional charge.

(b) If repairs are required to be made by Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof, Landlord may demand that Tenant make the same forthwith, and if Tenant refuses or neglects to commence such repairs and complete the same with reasonable dispatch, after such demand (except in the case of an emergency, in which event Landlord may make such repairs immediately), Landlord may (but shall not be required to do so) make or cause such repairs to be made (the provisions of Section 14.18 being applicable to the costs thereof), and shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage whatsoever that may accrue to Tenant’s stock or business by reason thereof.

7.3

FLOOR LOAD - HEAVY MACHINERY. (a) Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor in the Premises exceeding the floor load per square foot of area which such floor was designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to reasonably prescribe the weight and position of all business machines and mechanical equipment, including safes, which shall be placed so as to distribute the weight. Business machines and mechanical equipment shall be placed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in settings sufficient, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance. Tenant shall not move any safe, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures into or out of the Building without Landlord’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, which consent may include a requirement to provide insurance, naming Landlord as an insured, in such amounts as Landlord may deem reasonable.

(b) If any such safe, machinery, equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures requires special handling, Tenant agrees to employ only persons holding a Master Rigger’s License to do such work, and that all work in connection therewith shall comply with applicable laws and regulations. Any such moving shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and Tenant will exonerate, indemnify and save Landlord harmless against and from any liability, loss, injury, claim or suit resulting directly or indirectly from such moving.

7.4

BUILDING SERVICES. (a) Landlord shall, on Business Days from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (and, if requested by Tenant before noon on the preceding Friday, on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) at no additional cost to Tenant, furnish heating and cooling as normal seasonal changes may require. In the event Tenant introduces into the Premises personnel or equipment which overloads the capacity of the Building system or in any other way interferes with the system’s ability to perform adequately its proper functions, supplementary systems may, if and as needed, at Landlord’s option, be provided by Landlord, at Tenant’s expense. Landlord will use reasonable efforts upon reasonable advance written notice from Tenant of its requirements in that regard, to furnish additional heat, cleaning or air conditioning services to the Premises on days and at times other than as set forth in Section 7.4(a) (“the Overtime Hours”). Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, for any such additional heat, cleaning or air conditioning service required by Tenant for the Overtime Hours. As of the date of this Lease, the rate for overtime HVAC services is Forty Dollars ($40.00) per hour per zone, which is subject to adjustment from time to time. As currently configured, the Building HVAC system serving the Premises is as described on Exhibit HVAC attached hereto.

(b) Landlord shall also provide:

(i) Passenger elevator service from the existing passenger elevator system in common with Landlord and other tenants in the Building.

(ii) Warm water for lavatory and (if applicable) kitchenette purposes and cold water (at temperatures supplied by the City of Boston) for drinking, kitchenette, lavatory and toilet purposes. If Tenant uses water for any purpose other than for ordinary lavatory and drinking purposes, Landlord may assess a reasonable charge for the additional water so used, or install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption for all purposes. In the latter event, Tenant shall pay the cost of the meter and the cost of installation thereof and shall keep such meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair. 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 default in making such payment Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant as an additional charge.

(iii) Reasonable level of janitorial service nightly on Business Days in accordance with the standards annexed hereto as Exhibit D.

(iv) Free access to the Premises on Business Days from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and at all other times subject to reasonable Building security procedures from time to time in effect, and subject always to restrictions based on emergency conditions.

(v) Tenant will have 24-hour access to the Building loading dock facilities and freight elevator for Tenant’s initial move-in, subject to prior delivery of all insurance certificates required under this Lease (from Tenant and any movers or installers or other contractors). Landlord will not impose any charge for the use of the freight elevator for Tenant’s initial move-in. All of the foregoing is subject to prior scheduling with Landlord’s Agent and availability.

(c) Landlord or Agent may from time to time, but shall not be obligated to, provide one or more uniformed attendants in or about the lobby of the Building. Unless Landlord expressly agrees otherwise in writing, such attendant(s) shall serve functions such as assisting visitors and invitees of tenants and others in the Building, monitoring fire control and alarm equipment, and summoning emergency services to the Building as and when needed. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) such attendants shall not serve as police officers, and will be unarmed, and will not be trained in situations involving potentially physical confrontation; and (ii) if provided, such attendants will be provided solely as an amenity to tenants of the Building for the sole purposes set forth above, and not for the purpose of securing any individual tenant premises or guaranteeing the physical safety of Tenant’s Premises or of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees. If and to the extent that Tenant desires to provide security for the Premises or for such persons or their property, Tenant shall be responsible for so doing, after having first consulted with Landlord and (as to any installation or equipment by Tenant that is connected to or otherwise affects the Building systems or equipment) after obtaining Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Landlord expressly disclaims any and all responsibility and/or liability for the physical safety of Tenant’s property, and for that of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors and invitees, and, without in any way limiting the operation of Article X hereof, Tenant, for itself and its agents, contractors, invitees and employees, hereby expressly waives any claim, action, cause of action or other right which may accrue or arise as a result of any damage or injury to the person or property of Tenant or any such agent, invitee, contractor or employee. Tenant agrees that, as between Landlord and Tenant, it is Tenant’s responsibility to advise its employees, agents, contractors and invitees as to necessary and appropriate safety precautions.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 7 or in this Lease contained, Landlord may institute, and Tenant shall comply with, such policies, programs and measures as may be reasonably necessary, required, or expedient for the conservation and/or preservation of energy or energy services to the Premises, or as may be reasonably necessary or required to comply with applicable codes, rules regulations or standards.

7.5

ELECTRICITY; UTILITIES. (a) Landlord shall supply electricity to the Premises that is sufficient for typical demands of normal office uses, and Tenant agrees in its use of the Premises (i) not to exceed such requirements and (ii) that its total connected lighting load will not exceed the maximum from time to time permitted under applicable governmental regulations. If, without in any way derogating from the foregoing limitation, Tenant shall require electricity in excess of the requirements set forth above, Tenant shall notify Landlord and Landlord may (without being obligated to do so) supply such additional service or equipment at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall purchase and install all Building standard lamps, tubes, bulbs, starters and ballasts (the cost of which shall be billed to Tenant as a part of Operating Expenses). In order to assure that the foregoing requirements are not exceeded and to avert possible adverse effect on the Building’s electric system, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent, connect any fixtures, appliances or equipment to the Building’s electric distribution system other than lamps, white-noise generators, room fans, printers, desk-top personal computers (and similar customary and usual information technology equipment), word processors, photocopiers (including scanners, fax machines, etc.), hand-held or desk top calculators and other electrical equipment commonly found in similar offices and drawing less than 15 amperes at 120 volts.

(b) From time to time during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to have an electrical consultant mutually selected by Landlord and Tenant make a survey of Tenant’s electric usage, the result of which survey shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. In the event that such survey shows that Tenant has exceeded the requirements set forth in paragraph (a), in addition to any other rights Landlord may have hereunder, Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for the cost of such survey and the cost, as determined by such consultant, of electricity usage in excess of such requirements for the period of such excess usage, as additional charges.

(c) Tenant acknowledges that Basic Rent does not include the cost of providing convenience electricity (i.e., so-called lights and plugs), and that the use of convenience electricity will be measured by one or more meters currently serving the Premises. Tenant shall pay the costs as shown on such meter directly to the utility. Tenant acknowledges that, in addition to paying the cost of electricity furnished to the Premises as provided above, the Tenant shall pay its pro-rata share of the cost of furnishing electricity for the Building’s common areas and elevators as part of Operating Expenses. In any event, Tenant shall also pay separately to the utility for all telephone and any other utilities and services supplied and metered exclusively to the Premises or to Tenant, together with any taxes thereon.

(d) Tenant shall not at any time contract to purchase electricity from any provider other than the service provider from whom Landlord from time to time shall purchase electricity for the common areas of the Building, or give any such provider permission to install lines or other equipment, without in each case obtaining the Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord shall have no liability for the service to be provided by any provider, including without limitation any loss or interruption of service or any damages to Tenant or its business arising therefrom.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if, due to any negligent or willful and wrongful act or omission of Landlord, Tenant is prevented from receiving Essential Services (defined below) that Landlord is obligated to perform or deliver under this Lease, and such interruption of Essential Services renders the Premises or any material portion thereof untenantable (meaning that Tenant is unable to access the Premises or that Tenant is unable to use and occupy the Premises or such material portion in a reasonably safe manner for the conduct of Tenant’s business and that Tenant has vacated the Premises or such material portion as a result), and if such interruption shall continue for a period of ten (10) consecutive Business Days after notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord that the Premises or such material portion are untenantable as a result thereof, then Basic Rent shall xxxxx commencing on the eleventh (11^th) Business Day after such notice (and, if less than all of the Premises are affected by such interruption, such abatement shall be pro-rated according to the area so affected) until such time as such Essential Services are restored. The foregoing shall not apply to any interruption to the extent the same arises from any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, contractors or employees, or from fire or casualty, Force Majeure or taking or condemnation by the power of eminent domain or other matter beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Tenant’s rights herein granted shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies for any loss or damage arising from any such interruption, and Landlord shall not otherwise be liable for any loss or damage suffered or sustained by Tenant resulting from any failure or cessation of services. For purposes hereof, the term “Essential Services” shall mean the following services: water and sewer, passenger elevator service, HVAC (when reasonably required under prevailing conditions) and electricity, but only to the extent that Landlord has an obligation to provide electricity to Tenant under this Lease. Any abatement of Basic Rent under this paragraph shall apply only with respect to Basic Rent allocable to the period after each of the conditions described above shall have been satisfied and only during such times as each of such conditions shall continue to exist.

ARTICLE VIII

REAL ESTATE TAXES

8.1

PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNT OF REAL ESTATE TAXES. (a) For the purposes of this Article, the term “Tax Year” shall mean the twelve-month period commencing on the July 1 immediately preceding the Commencement Date and each twelve-month period thereafter commencing during the Term of this Lease; and the term “Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments, betterments and other charges and impositions (including, but not limited to, fire protection service fees and similar charges) levied, assessed or imposed at any time during the Term by any governmental authority upon or against the Building, or taxes in lieu thereof, and additional types of taxes to supplement real estate taxes due to legal limits imposed thereon. If, at any time during the Term, any tax or excise on rents or other taxes, however described, are levied or assessed against Landlord with respect to the rent reserved hereunder, either wholly or partially in substitution for, or in addition to, real estate taxes assessed or levied on the Building, such tax or excise on rents shall be included in Taxes; however, Taxes shall not include franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy, transfer, income or excess profits taxes assessed on Landlord. Taxes shall include any estimated payment made by Landlord on account of a fiscal tax period for which the actual and final amount of taxes for such period has not been determined by the governmental authority as of the date of any such estimated payment..

(b) In the event that for any reason, Taxes during any Tax Year shall exceed Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as an Escalation Charge, an amount equal to (i) the excess of Taxes over Base Taxes for such Tax Year, multiplied by (ii) the Escalation Factor, such amount to be apportioned for any portion of a Tax Year in which the Commencement Date falls or the Term of this Lease ends.

(c) Commencing on the Commencement Date, estimated payments by Tenant on account of Taxes shall be made on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term of this Lease, and otherwise 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 time real estate tax payments are due with a sum equal to Tenant’s required payments, as estimated by Landlord from time to time, on account of Taxes for the then current Tax Year. Promptly after receipt by Landlord of bills for such Taxes, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the amount thereof and the computation of Tenant’s payment on account thereof. If estimated payments theretofore made by Tenant for the Tax Year covered by such bills exceed the required payments on account thereof for such Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Tenant on account of Taxes (or refund such overpayment if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but if the required payments on account thereof for such Year are greater than estimated payments theretofore made on account thereof for such Year, Tenant shall make payment to Landlord within 30 days after being so advised by Landlord.

(d) Tenant shall pay all taxes charged, assessed or imposed upon the personal property of Tenant in or upon the Premises.

8.2

ABATEMENT. If Landlord shall receive any tax refund or reimbursement of Taxes or sum in lieu thereof with respect to any Tax Year, then out of any balance remaining thereof after deducting Landlord’s expenses reasonably incurred in obtaining such refund, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, provided there does not then exist a Default of Tenant, an amount equal to such refund or reimbursement or sum in lieu thereof (exclusive of any interest) multiplied by the Escalation Factor; provided, that in no event, shall Tenant be entitled to receive more than the payments made by Tenant on account of Taxes for such Tax Year pursuant to paragraph (b) of Section 8.1 or to receive any payments or abatement of Basic Rent if Taxes for any year are less than Base Taxes or Base Taxes are abated. If a refund or reimbursement applies to Base Taxes, then Base Taxes shall be reduced by the amount of the reduction and Tenant’s share of increases in Taxes shall be recalculated for all Tax Years following the year of the reduction based on the lower Base Taxes.

8.3

ALTERNATE TAXES. (a) If some method or type of taxation shall replace the current method of assessment of real estate taxes in whole or part, or the type thereof, or if additional types of taxes are imposed upon the Building or the Property or Landlord, Tenant agrees that such taxes or other charges shall be deemed to be, and shall be, Taxes hereunder and Tenant shall pay an equitable share of the same as an additional charge computed in a fashion consistent with the method of computation herein provided, to the end that Tenant’s share thereof shall be, to the maximum extent practicable, comparable to that which Tenant would bear under the foregoing provisions.

(b) If a tax (other than a Federal or State net income tax) is assessed on account of the rents or other charges payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay the same as an additional charge within ten (10) days after billing therefor, unless applicable law prohibits the payment of such tax by Tenant.

ARTICLE IX

OPERATING EXPENSES; UTILITIES

9.1	DEFINITIONS. (a) For the purposes of this Article, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

Operating Year: Each calendar year in which any part of the Term of this Lease shall fall.

Operating Expenses: all costs and expenses incurred for the operation, cleaning, maintenance, repair and upkeep of the Building and the Property, including, without limitation, all costs of maintaining and repairing the Building and Property (including, elevators, lighting and any other Building equipment or systems, snow removal, landscaping and grounds maintenance, operation and maintenance of the parking areas, sidewalks, walking paths, access roads and landscaped islands and driveways) and costs to maintain an on-site management office and all costs of all repairs and replacements (other than repairs or replacements for which Landlord has received full reimbursement from other tenants of the Building or from others) necessary to keep the Building and Property in good working order, repair, appearance and condition; the costs (including any subsidies provided by Landlord) of operating and maintaining the café and fitness center at the Building; all costs (including material and equipment costs) for cleaning and janitorial services to the Building (including window cleaning of the Building); all costs of any insurance carried by Landlord relating to the Building; all costs related to provision of heat (including oil, electric, steam and/or gas), air-conditioning, and water (including sewer charges and the private water supply company charges or assessments) and other utilities to the Building (exclusive of reimbursement to Landlord for any of same received as a result of direct billing to any tenant of the Building); payments under all service contracts relating to the foregoing; all compensation, fringe benefits, payroll taxes and workmen’s compensation insurance premiums related thereto with respect to any employees of Landlord or its affiliates, or third party management company, engaged in security or maintenance of the Building; attorneys’ fees and disbursements (exclusive of any such fees and disbursements incurred in tax abatement proceedings or the preparation of or negotiation of any leases) and auditing and other professional fees and expenses; and a reasonable management fee consistent with the local market in which the Building is located, not to exceed five percent (5%) of the gross rentals for the Building.

(b) If, during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall make a capital expenditure, 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. 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 Building 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.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, Operating Expenses shall not include: (i) charges for depreciation (other than as permitted above with respect to permitted capital expenditures), (ii) mortgage debt service, interest or financing charges; (iii) ground rent; (iv) expenses to market space in the Building for other tenants; (v) leasing commissions, attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements incurred in negotiations with prospective tenants: (vi) costs associated with the operation of the business of the entity which constitutes Landlord or its managing agent (as distinguished from the costs of operating the Building), including, but not limited to, general corporate overhead and administrative expenses, risk management, corporate and/or partnership accounting and legal costs; (vii) all wages, salaries, fees, fringe benefits, and other compensation paid to any executive employee of Landlord and/or Landlord’s managing agent above the grade of building or property manager; (viii) a reasonable allocation of wages, salaries and other compensation otherwise includable that is attributable to employee time that is devoted to efforts unrelated to the maintenance and operation of the Building (for example, managing other Landlord properties); (ix) costs that are reimbursed by insurance, by Tenant or by other tenants directly; (x) the costs of replacement of the roof or other structural elements of the Building; (xi) costs of installation of other tenants’ improvements in their premises or of renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for other tenants of the Building; (xii) fees paid to any parking facility operator (on or off site); (xiii) costs incurred in to cure any violation (other than any condition caused by Tenant) of the Building of then-applicable codes, ordinances, statutes, or other laws, which violations existed on the Commencement Date, including penalties or damages incurred due to such violation; (xiv) penalties incurred solely as a result of Landlord’s failure to make tax payments when due (provided Tenant had made all such payments due under this Lease as and when due); (xv) costs arising solely from the negligence or willful misconduct or fault of Landlord; (xvi) costs arising from construction defects in the base, shell or core of the Building or common area improvements (provided that ordinary wear and tear will not be considered a defect in construction); and (xvii) all costs that would properly be classified as capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting principles, except as otherwise provided by Section 9.1(b).

(d) If during any portion of any Operating Year for which Operating Expenses are being computed, less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building was occupied by tenants or if not all of such tenants were paying fixed rent or if Landlord was not supplying all tenants with the services being supplied hereunder, those Operating Expenses that are actually incurred and that are reasonably expected to vary according to Building occupancy shall be reasonably extrapolated by Landlord to the estimated Operating Expenses that would have been incurred if ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building was occupied by tenants and all such tenants were then paying fixed rent or if such services were being supplied to all tenants, and such extrapolated amount shall, for the purposes of this Section 9.1, be deemed to be the Operating Expenses for such Operating Year.

9.2

TENANT’S PAYMENTS. (a) In the event that for any Operating Year Operating Expenses shall exceed Base Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as an Escalation Charge, an amount equal to (i) such excess Operating Expenses multiplied by (ii) the Escalation Factor, such amount to be apportioned for any portion of an Operating Year in which the Commencement Date falls or the Term of this Lease ends.

(b) Commencing on the Commencement Date, estimated payments by Tenant on account of Operating Expenses shall be made on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term of this Lease, and otherwise 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 payments, as estimated by Landlord from time to time during each Operating Year, on account of Operating Expenses for such Operating Year. Within a reasonable time (but not later than 180 days) after the end of each Operating Year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a reasonably detailed accounting of Operating Expenses for such Year (each, an “Operating Statement”), and Landlord shall certify to the accuracy thereof. If estimated payments theretofore made for such Year by Tenant exceed Tenant’s required payment on account thereof for such Year, according to such Operating Statement, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses (or refund such overpayment if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but, if the required payments on account thereof for such Year are greater than the estimated payments (if any) theretofore made on account thereof for such Year, Tenant shall make payment to Landlord within 30 days after being so advised by Landlord. Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for the non-payment by Tenant of any payments due on account of Operating Expenses as Landlord has hereunder for the failure of Tenant to pay Basic Rent.

(c) Tenant shall have the right to examine and review copies of Landlord’s statements and invoices establishing Operating Expenses for any Operating Year for a period of ninety (90) days 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 written notice of its intention to examine such material, and such examination 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 take place in another location designated by Landlord in the city and state in which the Property is located. As a condition to performing any such examination, Tenant and its examiners shall be required to execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, whereby Tenant agrees to keep confidential (except as may be necessary in connection with any legal or other proceeding to dispute Operating Expenses or except as may be required by law) any information which it discovers about Landlord or the Building in connection with such examination. Such examination may be made only by a national recognized independent certified public accounting firm, or by a qualified and reputable consultant; provided however, that no examiner who is being paid on a contingent fee basis shall be permitted to conduct an examination of Landlord’s books and records under this section. All costs of the examination shall be borne by Tenant.

If, pursuant to such examination, 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 such examination, 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. If Tenant does not elect to exercise its right to examine Landlord’s 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 for such Operating Year.

9.3

UTILITIES, ETC. Tenant shall pay the utility provider for the cost of electricity furnished to or consumed on the Premises, as set forth above, all charges for any utilities supplied by such utility provider that are separately metered, and all charges for telephone and other utilities or services not supplied by Landlord, whether designated as a charge, tax, assessment, fee or otherwise, all such charges to be paid as the same from time to time become due. Except as expressly provided in Article 7, it is understood and agreed that Tenant shall make its own arrangements for the installation or provision of all such utilities and that Landlord shall be under no obligation to furnish any utilities to the Premises and shall not be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply of any such utilities to the Premises.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

10.1

INDEMNITY. To the maximum extent this agreement may be made effective according to law, Tenant agrees to indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and against all claims, loss, cost, damage or expense of whatever nature arising: (i) from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever to any person, or to the property of any person, occurring in or about the Premises; (ii) from any accident, injury or damage occurring outside of the Premises where such accident, damage or injury results or is claimed to have resulted from an act or omission on the part of Tenant or Tenant’s agents or employees or independent contractors; or (iii) in connection with the conduct or management of the Premises or of any business therein, or any thing or work whatsoever done, or any condition created (other than by Landlord) in or about the Premises; and, in any case, occurring after the date of this Lease until the end of the Term of this Lease and thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of the Property. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs at both the trial and appellate levels. The provisions of this Article shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability accruing prior to such termination.

10.2

If the Premises shall be affected by any exercise of the power of eminent domain, Basic Rent and Escalation Charges payable by Tenant shall be justly and equitably abated and reduced according to the nature and extent of the loss of use thereof suffered by Tenant. In no event shall Landlord have any liability for damages to Tenant for inconvenience, annoyance, or interruption of business arising from such fire, casualty or eminent domain.

12.2

LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF TERMINATION. If 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 ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within ninety (90) days from the time that repair work would commence), or if any part of the Building 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 of Landlord’s election so to do within 90 days after the occurrence of such casualty or the effective date of such taking, whereupon this Lease shall terminate 30 days after the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.

12.3

RESTORATION. If this Lease shall not be terminated pursuant to Section 12.2, Landlord shall thereafter use due diligence to restore the Premises (excluding any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant pursuant to Section 5.2) to proper condition for Tenant’s use and occupation, provided that Landlord’s obligation shall be limited to the amount of insurance proceeds available therefor. If, for any reason, such restoration shall not be substantially completed within six months after the expiration of the 90-day period referred to in Section 12.2 (which six-month period may be extended for such periods of time as Landlord is prevented from proceeding with or completing such restoration due to an event of Force Majeure, but in no event for more than an additional three 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 thirty (30) days after such giving of notice by Tenant unless, within such 30-day period, Landlord substantially completes such restoration.. 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.

12.4

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in any condemnation proceedings 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.

(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; and

(e) If the trustee or the debtor-in-possession assumes the Lease under paragraph (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 or the Property is then bound (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).

(j) In case of any Default of Tenant, re-entry, expiration and dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (i) re-let 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 or less than or exceed 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 advisable and necessary to re-let the same and

(ii) may make such reasonable alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable and necessary 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. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent under such re-letting. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws 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 covenants and conditions of this Lease.

(k) If a Guarantor of this Lease is named in Section 1.2, the happening of any of the events described in paragraphs (a)(iv)-(a)(vi) of this Section 13.1 with respect to the Guarantor shall constitute a Default of Tenant hereunder.

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

14.1

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 on the Premises, the Building or the Property above the standard rate applicable to Premises being occupied for Permitted Uses; and Tenant further agrees that, in the event that Tenant shall do any of the foregoing, Tenant will promptly pay to Landlord, on demand, any such increase resulting therefrom, which shall be due and payable as an additional charge hereunder.

14.2

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

(b) No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated otherwise than as a payment on account of the earliest installment of any payment due from Tenant under the provisions hereof. 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 (whether or not with knowledge of any breach by Tenant) without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant.

14.3

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. Tenant, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease, on payment of the Basic Rent and Escalation Charges and observing, keeping and performing all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed, kept and performed, shall lawfully, peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy and 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.

14.4

LIABILITY OF THE PARTIES. (a) Tenant specifically agrees to look solely to Landlord’s then equity interest in the Property at the time owned, for recovery of any judgment from Landlord; it being specifically agreed that Landlord (original or successor) shall never 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 Landlord’s successors in interest, or to take any action not involving the personal liability of Landlord (original or successor) to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s equity interest in the Property.

(b) Subject to the abatement provisions of Section 7.5(e), with respect to any services, repairs or utilities to be furnished by Landlord to Tenant, or any other obligation to be performed by Landlord, Landlord shall in no event be liable for failure to furnish or perform the same when prevented from doing so by so-called act of god, or by strike, lockout, breakdown, accident, order or regulation of or by any governmental authority, act or threatened act of terrorism, civil commotion or unrest, governmental order or restriction or failure of ready supply, or failure whenever and for so long as may be necessary by reason of the making of repairs or changes which Landlord is required or is permitted by this Lease or by law to make or in good xxxxx xxxxx necessary, or inability by the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain supplies, parts or employees necessary to furnish such services, or because of war or other emergency, or for any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (the foregoing circumstances being individually and collectively referred to as “Force Majeure”), or for any cause due to any act or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s servants, agents, employees, licensees or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant; nor shall any such failure give rise to any claim in Tenant’s favor that Tenant has been evicted, either constructively or actually, partially or wholly.

(c) In no event shall Landlord ever be liable to Tenant for any loss of business or any other indirect, punitive or consequential damages suffered or claimed by Tenant from whatever cause.

(d) Where provision is made in this Lease for Landlord’s consent and Tenant shall request such consent and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent, it being intended that Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction, and that such remedy shall be available only in those cases where Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold its consent. Any claim, demand, right or defense by Tenant that arises out of this Lease or the negotiations which preceded this Lease shall be barred unless Tenant commences an action thereon, or interposes a defense by reason thereof, within six (6) months after the date of the inaction, omission, event or action that gave rise to such claim, demand, right or defense. Furthermore, whenever Tenant requests Landlord’s consent or approval (whether or not provided for herein), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as an additional charge, any expenses incurred by Landlord (including without limitation reasonable legal fees and costs, if any) in connection therewith.

(e) With respect to any repairs or restoration which are required or permitted to be made by Landlord, the same may be made during normal business hours and Landlord shall have no liability for damages to Tenant for inconvenience, annoyance or interruption of business arising therefrom. Landlord shall, however, use commercially reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s operations in the Premises when conducti ng such activities.

(f) In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default under or breach of this Lease, and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to damages and/or an injunction as expressly set forth above. This Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is caused by reason of a Force Majeure event, and the time for Landlord’s performance shall be extended for the period of any such delay, but (to the extent of matters within Landlord’s reasonable control) Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any material and adverse effects of any such Force Majeure event. Each provision of this Lease constitutes an independent covenant, enforceable separately from each other covenant hereof. To the extent any provision hereof or any application of any provision hereof may be declared unenforceable, such provision or application shall not affect any other provision hereof or other application of such provision. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Rent and Escalation Charges is independent of any and all obligations of Landlord hereunder.

(g) Except with respect to the obligation to pay Basic Rent, additional rent or any other sum of money when the same is due, if Tenant is delayed in fulfilling any of its obligations hereunder, and if such delay is caused by reason of a Force Majeure event, then the time for Tenant’s performance shall be extended for the period of any such delay. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice if Tenant is so delayed, and will use all reasonable efforts to minimize the effect and duration of any such Force Majeure event.

(h) Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord for any consequential, punitive, or indirect damages, provided that the following shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to be direct damages not subject to the limitation set forth in this Section 14.4(h): (i) any loss or damages awarded against Landlord in favor of a third party for which Tenant is obligate to indemnify Landlord; (ii) any loss or damages arising or sustained by Landlord as a result of Tenant holding over for more than thirty (30) days after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease; or (iii) any loss or damages arising or sustained by Landlord as a result of any breach or violation by Tenant of its obligations and covenants set forth in Section 5.3 above with respect to Hazardous Substances.

14.5

NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE OR GROUND LESSOR. After Tenant has received written notice from any person, firm or other entity that it holds a mortgage or a ground lease 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 or ground lessor (provided Tenant shall have been furnished with the name and address of such holder or ground lessor), and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

14.6

ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND TRANSFER OF TITLE. (a) 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 that, except as aforesaid, such holder shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises.

(b) 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.

(c) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, in the event of any transfer of title to the Property by Landlord, Landlord shall thereafter be entirely freed and relieved from the performance and observance of all covenants and obligations hereunder, except for the return of Tenant’s security deposit (unless such deposit has been delivered to the transferee).

14.7

RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall abide by rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord, it being agreed that such rules and regulations will be established and applied by Landlord in a non-discriminatory fashion, such that all rules and regulations shall be generally applicable to other tenants, of similar nature to the Tenant named herein, of the Building. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to insure that any such rules and regulations are uniformly enforced, but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant or occupant of the Building, or persons having business with them. In the event that there shall be a conflict between such rules and regulations and the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Rules and Regulations currently in effect are set forth in Exhibit C.

14.8	ADDITIONAL CHARGES. If Tenant shall fail to pay when due any sums under this Lease designated as an Escalation Charge, additional rent or additional charge, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as Landlord has hereunder for failure to pay Basic Rent.

14.9

INVALIDITY OF PARTICULAR PROVISIONS. If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14.10

PROVISIONS BINDING, ETC. Except as herein otherwise provided, the terms hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant (except in the case of Tenant, only such assigns as may be permitted hereunder). Each term and each provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both a covenant and a condition. The reference contained to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to assignment by Tenant, but has reference only to those instances in which Landlord may later give consent to a particular assignment as required by those provisions of Article VI hereof.

14.11

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 so-called notice of lease in recordable form and complying with applicable law and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord’s attorneys. In no event shall such document set forth the rent or other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease; 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.

14.12

NOTICES. Whenever, by the terms of this Lease, notices shall or may be given either to Landlord or to Tenant, such notice shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand (with a receipt), or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by reputable overnight or express delivery service for next Business Day delivery:

14.13

WHEN LEASE BECOMES BINDING; COUNTERPARTS. (a) The mailing, delivery or negotiation of this Lease shall not be deemed an offer by Landlord to enter into any transaction or to enter into any relationship with Tenant, whether on the terms contained herein or on any other terms. This Lease shall not be binding upon Landlord, nor shall Landlord have any obligations or liabilities with respect thereto, or with respect to the Premises, unless and until Landlord executes and delivers this Lease. Until such execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord may terminate all negotiation and discussion of the subject matter hereof, without causes and for any reason, without recourse or liability. All negotiations, considerations, representations and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and this Lease expressly supersedes any proposals or other written documents relating hereto. This Lease may be modified or altered only by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions hereof.

(b) This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Lease may be executed via facsimile or ..pdf format (including computer-scanned or other electronic reproduction of the actual signatures) and that delivery of a facsimile or other signature by electronic or physical means shall be effective to the same extent as delivery of an original signature. Notwithstanding the foregoing, originally signed documents shall be provided upon either party’s request.

14.14

PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. The paragraph headings throughout this instrument are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this Lease. The provisions of this Lease shall be construed as a whole, according to their common meaning (except where a precise legal interpretation is clearly evidenced), and not for or against either party. Use in this Lease of the words “including,” “such as” or words of similar import, when followed by any general term, statement or matter, shall not be construed to limit such term, statement or matter to the specified item(s), whether or not language of non-limitation, such as “without limitation” or “including, but not limited to,” or words of similar import, are used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other terms or matters that could fall within a reasonably broad scope of such term, statement or matter.

14.15

RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE OR GROUND LESSOR. This Lease shall be subordinate to any mortgage or ground lease from time to time encumbering the Premises, whether executed and delivered prior to or subsequent to the date of this Lease, if the holder of such mortgage or ground lease shall so elect. If this Lease is subordinate to any mortgage or ground lease and the holder thereof (or successor) shall succeed to the interest of Landlord, at the election of such holder (or successor) Tenant shall attorn to such holder and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect between such holder (or successor) and Tenant. Tenant agrees to execute such instruments of subordination or attornment in confirmation of the foregoing agreement as such holder may request, and Tenant hereby appoints such holder as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute such subordination or attornment agreement upon default of Tenant in complying with such holder’s request. In no event shall the holder of any mortgage or ground lease ever: (A) be liable for any act or omission of Landlord hereunder occurring prior to such holder’s succession to Landlord’s interest hereunder; or (B) be subject to any defense or offset accruing in favor of the Tenant against Landlord prior to such holder’s succession to Landlord’s interest hereunder; or (C) be bound by any modification of this Lease made without such holder’s written consent or by any prepayment of more than one month’s rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the holder of such mortgage elects to make this Lease subordinate as aforesaid, then upon the written request of Tenant, Landlord agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain the holder’s written agreement, on the holder’s then standard form, that, subject to such reasonable qualifications as such holder may reasonably impose, in the event that the holder shall succeed to the interests of Landlord hereunder pursuant to such mortgage, ground lease or other encumbrance, so long as no Default of Tenant exists hereunder, Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed and Tenant’s other rights hereunder shall not be adversely affected by any foreclosure of such mortgage or encumbrance or by termination of such ground lease. For purposes hereof, the term “all reasonable efforts” shall not include the payment of any sum of money or the consent to less favorable terms and conditions with respect to the obligations or indebtedness secured or created by such mortgage, ground lease or encumbrance. In the event that, despite such reasonable efforts, Landlord is unable to obtain such an agreement, then this Lease shall be subordinate as aforesaid.

14.16

STATUS REPORT. Recognizing that both parties may find it necessary to establish to third parties, such as accountants, banks, mortgagees, ground lessors, or the like, the then current status of performance hereunder, either party, on the request of the other made from time to time, will within fifteen (15) days after written request furnish to Landlord, or the holder of any mortgage or ground lease encumbering the Premises, or to Tenant, as the case may be, a statement of the status of any matter pertaining to this Lease, including, without limitation, acknowledgments that (or the extent to which) each party is in compliance with its obligations under the terms of this Lease.

14.17

SECURITY DEPOSIT. (a) If, in Section 1.2 hereof, a security deposit is specified, Tenant agrees that the same will be paid upon execution and delivery of this Lease, and that Landlord shall hold the same throughout the Term of this Lease as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall have the right from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to apply such 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 deposit, Tenant shall immediately deposit with Landlord the amount so applied to be held as security hereunder. If there is then existing no Default of Tenant, Landlord shall return the deposit, or so much thereof as shall have theretofore not been applied in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.17, to Tenant within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) after 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. While Landlord holds such deposit, Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. If Landlord conveys Landlord’s interest under this Lease, the deposit, or any part thereof not previously applied, may be turned over by Landlord to Landlord’s grantee, and, if so turned over, Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee for proper application of the deposit in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.17, and the return thereof in accordance herewith. The holder of a mortgage shall not be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder.

(b) If there is then existing no Default of Tenant hereunder (nor any event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would, in Landlord’s commercially reasonable judgment, constitute a Default of Tenant), at the expiration of the Term of this Lease and delivery of the Premises to Landlord in accordance herewith and payment of all amounts then due and coming due, Landlord shall return to Tenant the security deposit, or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied or returned in accordance with the terms of this Section, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the term hereof, and after Tenant has

vacated and delivered the Premises as required hereunder. Landlord may retain an amount (to be in the form of a letter of credit or cash, at Tenant’s election) reasonably calculated by Landlord (taking into account information then available for prior years) to be sufficient to pay any final amount of Taxes or Operating Expenses for the year in which the Term ends. If Landlord conveys Landlord’s interest under this Lease, the security deposit, or any part thereof not previously applied, shall be turned over to Landlord’s grantee, whereupon Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee for proper application of the security deposit in accordance with the terms of this Section, and the return thereof in accordance herewith. The holder of a mortgage shall not be responsible to Tenant for the return of any security deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such security deposit shall have actually been received by such holder.

14.18

REMEDYING DEFAULTS. Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be required, 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 at a rate equal to 3% over the base rate in effect from time to time at Bank of America, as an additional charge. Any payment of Basic Rent, Escalation Charges or other sums payable hereunder not paid when due shall, at the option of Landlord, bear interest at a rate equal to 3% over the base rate in effect from time to time at Bank of America from the due date thereof and shall be payable forthwith on demand by Landlord, as an additional charge.

14.19

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 rate equal to two (2) times the Basic Rent then in effect plus Escalation Charges and other charges herein provided (prorated on a daily basis). Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute Landlord’s consent to Tenant holding over at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any cost, loss, claim or liability (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) Landlord may incur (and, if the holding over continues for thirty (30) days or more after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, including without limitation lost rents or income from other tenants) as a result of Tenant’s failure to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord upon the termination of this Lease. Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable.

14.20

WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant: (i) mutually agree that, with respect to any damage to property, the loss from which is covered (or required to be covered) by insurance then being carried by them, respectively, the one carrying (or required to carry) such insurance and suffering such loss releases the other of and from, and forever waives, any and all claims with respect to such loss, but only to the extent of the limits of insurance carried (or required to be carried) with respect thereto, less the amount of any deductible; and (ii) mutually agree that any property damage insurance carried (or required to be carried) by either shall provide for the waiver by the insurance carrier of any right of subrogation against the other.

14.21

PARKING. During the Term of this Lease, and subject to the rules and regulations from time to time in effect (the “Rules”), Tenant shall be entitled to use the number of parking spaces set forth in Section 1.1 in the parking facility of the Building at the rate applicable from time to time for monthly parking as set by Landlord and/or its licensee. Tenant shall have until October 31, 2019 to advise Landlord in writing that Tenant has elected to lease fewer than the number of spaces described in Section 1.1. Except to the extent that Tenant has so notified Landlord in writing prior to October 31, 2019, Tenant shall be committed to leasing all twenty-four (24) spaces for the balance of the Term of this Lease. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, assign tandem parking spaces to Tenant and designate the location of any reserved parking spaces. If Tenant commits or allows in the parking facility any of the activities prohibited by the Lease or the Rules, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable by Tenant upon demand by Landlord. The Initial Parking Charge per parking space is set forth in Section 1.3 and is subject to change by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant Monthly parking fees shall be payable in advance prior to the first day of each calendar month. Visitor parking rates shall be determined by Landlord from time to time in Landlord’s sole discretion. The parking rates charged to Tenant or Tenant’s visitors may not be the lowest parking rates charged by Landlord for the use of the parking facility. Any tax imposed on the privilege of occupying space in the parking facility, upon the revenues received by Landlord from the parking facility or upon the charges paid for the privilege of using the parking facility by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity may be added by Landlord to the monthly parking charges paid by Tenant at any time.

14.22

SURRENDER OF PREMISES. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises in neat and clean condition and in good order, condition and repair, together with (subject to Section 5.2 above) all alterations, additions and improvements which may have been made or installed in, on or to the Premises prior to or during the Term of this Lease, 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 of repair or restoration. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Removable Property (including without limitation the Furniture) and, to the extent specified by Landlord, all alterations and additions made by Tenant 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. Any Tenant’s Removable Property which shall remain in the Building or on the Premises after the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease 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.

14.23

Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has dealt with no broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than Broker, and, in the event of any brokerage claims against Tenant predicated upon prior dealings with Landlord. Landlord agrees to defend the same and indemnify Tenant against any such claim. All commissions owed to Broker shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to separate agreement.

Tenant hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or related to Tenant’s breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties and/or covenants.

14.27

CHANGES OR ALTERATIONS BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the right, exercisable by itself or its nominee, 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, to make such changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Premises, the Building and/or the Property and the fixtures and equipment thereof, as well as in or to the street entrances, halls, passages, elevators, escalators, parking areas, tunnels, and stairways thereof, as it may deem necessary or desirable, and to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the Building and/or the Property, 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 or Tenant’s appurtenant rights. Landlord shall be entitled, in its reasonable discretion, and upon reasonable notice to Tenant, to discontinue or modify any cafeteria or other food service facility, or any fitness or exercise facility, or the manner of operation thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Tenant of any duty, obligation or liability of Tenant under this Lease with respect to making any repair, replacement or improvement or complying with any law, order or requirement of any governmental or other authority. Landlord reserves the right to adopt and at any time and from time to time to change the name of the Building and/or the Property. Neither this Lease nor any use by Tenant shall give Tenant any right or easement for the use of any door or any passage or any concourse connecting with any other Building or to any public convenience, and the use of such doors, passages and concourses and of such conveniences may be regulated or discontinued at any time and from time to time by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without affecting the obligation of Tenant hereunder or incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, provided, however, that (except by reason of Force Majeure) there be no unreasonable obstruction of the right of access to, or unreasonable interference with the use of the Premises by Tenant. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily closed or darkened for any reason whatsoever relating to any maintenance or repair work, but Tenant shall not otherwise be prevented from occupying or using the Premises for the uses set forth herein, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage Tenant may sustain thereby and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation therefor nor abatements of rent nor shall the same release Tenant from its obligations hereunder nor constitute an eviction.
