Tenant shall also periodically collect interim lien waivers from contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, engineers or other parties which furnished labor, materials or other services related to the Tenant Work, and if requested by Landlord, shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of the same. Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor or materials 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 Premises, the Building or the Property.

This indemnity shall, to the maximum extent this agreement may be effective, also extend to all loss, cost, penalties, liability, damage, and claims of whatever nature asserted against the Landlord arising out of the use or occupancy or passage or travel in, over or upon, the Building or the Property by Tenant or by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant including, without limitation, Tenant's contractor, subcontractors and their respective agents, employees, contractors and customers or arising out of any delivery to or service supplied to the Premises or on account of or based on anything whatsoever done at the Building or the Property by any of them including, without limitation, any loss, cost, damages or claims sustained or incurred by Landlord as the direct result of any tenant of the Property claiming breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment or an interference with ongoing business operations as the result of the Tenant Work. The indemnity contained in this subsection shall include indemnity against all cost, expenses, and liabilities incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon and the defense thereof with counsel reasonably approved by the

Landlord. The indemnity contained in this subsection shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

In addition to and without limitation of any other right or remedy provided to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, at law or in equity, and in the event that (i) Tenant's contractor shall fail or refuse to continue to perform the Tenant Work for any reason or (ii) Tenant's contractor shall abandon the project and cease performing the Tenant Work for more than ten (10) consecutive Business Days or (iii) all or any portion of the Tenant's Work is not performed strictly in accordance with Tenant's Plans, then, in any such case, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, and upon ten (10) days' notice to Tenant, to complete the Tenant Work (at Landlord 's option with or without Tenant's contractor) in accordance with Tenant's Plans at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. In the event that Landlord shall exercise such right, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord forthwith upon demand all such sums incurred by Landlord in so completing the Tenant Work together with interest thereon at a rate equal to three percent (3.0%) over the WSJ prime rate then in effect (but in no event, more than the maximum rate permitted under Massachusetts law) as an additional charge hereunder.

J. Any alterations or improvements made by Tenant as part of the Tenant Work shall become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant demolish and remove, at Tenant's sole expense, any alterations or improvements made by Tenant. If so required, such demolition and removal will be completed prior to Tenant vacating the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

Upon completion of the Tenant Work, Tenant shall provide to Landlord: (i) copies of all invoices xxxx as paid; (ii) copies of final lien waivers from Tenant's contractor and all subcontractors and materialmen; (iii) a copy of a certificate of occupancy from the City of Marlborough (if applicable) or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the City of Marlborough has signed-off and approved the completion of the Tenant Work; and (iv) any other information or documentation reasonably requested by Landlord to evidence lien-free completion of the Tenant Work and payment of all of the costs and expenses thereof (collectively, the "Completion Documentation"). Within Thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of the Completion Documentation, Landlord shall issue payment to Tenant in an amount equal to the actual and verifiable cost of the Tenant Work not to exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance.


11.	Mechanic's Lien. The following is added to the end of Section 23 of the Lease:

"In addition to and without limitation of any other right or remedy provided to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, at law or in equity, in the event that Tenant does not strictly comply with the terms of this Section, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take whatever action is necessary to cause any such lien to be released of record at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. In the event that Landlord shall exercise such right, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord forthwith upon demand all such sums incurred by Landlord in connection with such actions together with interest thereon at a rate equal to three percent (3.0%) over the WSJ prime rate then in effect (but in no event, more than the maximum rate permitted under Massachusetts law) as an additional charge hereunder."
