5. Insurance. Subtenant shall obtain and maintain all insurance types and coverages as specified in the Prime Lease to be obtained and maintained by Sublandlord, as tenant, in amounts of not less than those specified in the Prime Lease.

Sublandlord shall not be liable for Subtenant’s failure to remove its signage as required by the terms of the Prime Lease or the New Prime Lease, and Subtenant will indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liability, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which Sublandlord may incur or pay out by reason of Subtenant’s failure to remove its signage as required.

7. Parking. Subject to the terms of Section 10 of the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall have the right, in common with other tenants of the Project pro rata in accordance with the rentable area of the Subleased Premises and the rentable areas of the Project occupied by such other tenants, to park in the non-reserved parking areas of the Project designated by Prime Landlord during the Sublease Term at no cost or expense to Subtenant.

11. Security Deposit. Subtenant has previously deposited with Sublandlord (and Sublandlord hereby acknowledges receipt of) a cash deposit equal to $[***] for the Original Subleased Premises (the “Deposit”) and shall not be required to deposit any additional cash deposit. Such Deposit shall be security for Subtenant’s faithful performance of Subtenant’s obligations hereunder. If Subtenant fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease, Sublandlord may, upon notice to Subtenant and the expiration of five (5) days, use or apply all or any portion of the Deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default, or for the payment of any other losses or damages which Sublandlord reasonably incurs by reason of Subtenant’s default. If Sublandlord uses or applies all or any portion of the Deposit for the purposes set forth herein, Subtenant shall within ten (10) business days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to its full amount and Subtenant’s failure to do so will be a material breach of this Sublease.

separate from its general accounts.

13. Brokers. Each party hereto represents and warrants that such party has not employed any broker or finder in respect of this Sublease other than [***], Subtenant’s broker. Sublandlord’s broker (a) shall be paid a commission by Sublandlord and in turn (b) shall pay Subtenant’s broker, all pursuant to separate agreements. Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party hereto from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other fees or commissions arising from or out of any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.

At the end of the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall be responsible for the return of the Suite 200 Generator to Prime Landlord in accordance with the terms of and in the condition required by Section 11(b)(vi) of the Prime Lease, unless the Subleased Premises shall then become part of the premises leased from Prime Landlord to Subtenant pursuant to the terms of the New Prime Lease, in which event the Suite 200 Generator may remain upon the Premises if permitted by the terms and conditions of such New Prime Lease and, if permitted thereunder, will be returned to Prime Landlord if required by, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of such New Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall not be liable for Subtenant’s failure to return the Suite 200 Generator to Prime Landlord as required by the terms of the Prime Lease or the New Prime Lease, and Subtenant will indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liability, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which Sublandlord may incur or pay out by reason of Subtenant’s failure to return the Suite 200 Generator to Prime Landlord as required.

15. Hazardous Materials/Decontamination. Subtenant shall comply with all terms of Section 30 of the Prime Lease with respect to Hazardous Materials in the Subleased Premises. In accordance with the terms of Section 30 of the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall have no indemnification, remediation or other obligation under Section 30 of the Prime Lease for any contamination or Environmental Claim if such contamination or Environmental Claim arises from any Hazardous Materials (i) brought into, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from the Subleased Premises or the Premises by Sublandlord, its employees or contractors, or another tenant unrelated or unaffiliated with Subtenant, or by any other person or entity (including, without limitation, Prime Landlord), or (ii) that existed in the Original Subleased Premises as of the commencement date of the Original Sublease or the New Subleased Premises as of the Restated Sublease Commencement Date and were not brought into, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from the Subleased Premises by Subtenant, its agents, servants, employees, invitees or contractors (collectively, the “Pre-Existing Conditions”). Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree that the indemnifications set forth in Section 30 of the Prime Lease with respect to the Premises shall be applicable to the Subleased Premises, and in furtherance thereof, provided that Subtenant proves the

existence of the Pre-Existing Conditions by a preponderance of the evidence as required by Section 30 of the Prime Lease, Sublandlord shall indemnify and hold Subtenant harmless from and against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liability, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which Subtenant may incur or pay out arising from or in connection with the Pre-Existing Conditions.

The portions of the Project that are for the non-exclusive use of tenants of the Project are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas.” Landlord reserves the right to modify Common Areas, provided that such modifications do not materially adversely affect Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises for the Permitted Use. Subject to a Taking (as defined in Section 19) and Force Majeure (as defined in Section 34), Tenant shall have access to the Premises (and the right to use the Common Areas subject to a Taking, Force Majeure, and the provisions of Section 13) 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year during the Term.

2. Delivery; Acceptance of Premises; Commencement Date. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to make the Premises available to Tenant for Tenant’s Work under the Work Letter within 5 days of full execution of this Lease and Tenant’s delivery of evidence of the insurance required hereby and by the Work Letter (“Delivery” or “Deliver”). If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. If Landlord does not Deliver the Premises within 60 days of the Target Commencement Date for any reason other than Force Majeure Delays, this Lease may be terminated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, and if so terminated, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease. As used herein, “Force Majeure Delays” means delays arising by reason of any Force Majeure. If Tenant does not elect to void this Lease within 5 business days of the lapse of such 60 day period, such right to void this Lease shall be waived and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

The “Commencement Date” means the date of Delivery of the Premises. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the Commencement Date and the expiration date of the Term when such are established in the form of the “Acknowledgement of Commencement Date” attached to this Lease as Exhibit D; provided, however, that Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect Landlord’s rights hereunder. The “Term” of this Lease shall be the Base Term, as defined above in the Basic Lease Provisions and any Extension Terms that Tenant may elect pursuant to Section 40 hereof.

Except as set forth in the Work Letter, if applicable, and this paragraph: (I) Tenant shall accept Delivery of the Premises; (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation for any defects in the Premises; and (iii) subject to the provisions of this paragraph, Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken. Any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant before the Commencement Date shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except the obligation to pay Base Rent shall not commence until the Commencement Date (subject to the abatement of Base Rent described in Section 4(a)).

Tenant agrees and acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of all or any portion of the Premises or the Project, and/or the suitability of the Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises or the Project are suitable for the Permitted Use. This Lease constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior representations, inducements, promises, agreements, understandings, and negotiations that are not contained herein. Landlord in executing this Lease does so in reliance upon Tenant’s representations, warranties, acknowledgments, and agreements contained herein.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall cause Guarantor (as defined in the Guaranty) to execute and deliver to Landlord the Guaranty of Lease (“Guaranty”) in the form attached hereto as a part hereof as Exhibit H.

3. Rent.

(a) Base Rent. Beginning on the Commencement Date (but subject to the abatement of Base Rent described in Section 4(a)), Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance, without demand, abatement, deduction or set-off, monthly installments of Base Rent on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term hereof, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the office of Landlord for payment of Rent set forth above or via wire transfer in immediately available federal funds as set forth below, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to xxxxx, reduce, or set-off any Rent (as defined in Section 5) due hereunder except for any abatement as may be expressly provided in this Lease. Tenant shall be permitted to pay Rent via wire transfer in immediately available federal funds to the account designated by Landlord. On written request from Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with wire instructions for the account to which Tenant shall wire payments of Rent.

(b) Additional Rent. In addition to Base Rent, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent (“Additional Rent”): (i) Tenant’s Share of “Operating Expenses” (as defined in Section 5), and (ii) any and all other amounts Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, any and all other sums that may become due by reason of any default of Tenant or failure to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, after any applicable notice and cure period.

4. Base Rent Adjustments. Base Rent shall be increased on each anniversary of the first day of the first full month during the Term of this Lease (each an “Adjustment Date”) by multiplying the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date by the Rent Adjustment Percentage and adding the resulting amount to the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date. Base Rent, as so adjusted, shall thereafter be due as provided herein. Base Rent adjustments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.

(a) Abatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, but provided Tenant is not in Default hereunder, Landlord hereby grants Tenant an abatement of the Base Rent payable during the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending 12 months after the Commencement Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Commencement Date occurs on the first day of a month, such abatement will be measured from that date. If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a month, such abatement will be measured from the first day of the following month. Except as provided in the preceding sentences, Tenant shall pay the full amount of Base Rent due in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(a), the adjustment in the Base Rent as set forth in this Section 4 shall be based on the full and unabated amount of Base Rent payable for the first 12 month period from and after the Commencement Date.

5. Operating Expense Payments. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate of Operating Expenses for each calendar year during the Term (“Annual Estimate”), which may be revised by Landlord from time to time during such calendar year. Beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term hereof an amount equal to 1/12th of Tenant’s Share of the Annual Estimate. Payments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.

The term “Operating Expenses” means all costs and expenses of any kind or description whatsoever incurred or accrued each calendar year by Landlord with respect to the Project (including, without duplication, Taxes (as defined in Section 9), capital repairs and improvements (such capital repairs and improvements to be amortized over their useful life in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles consistently applied) (“Permitted Capital Expenditures”), and the costs of Landlord’s third party property manager (not to exceed [***]% of Base Rent) or, if there is no third party property manager, administration rent in the amount of [***]% of Base Rent), excluding only:

If Tenant’s Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year exceeds Tenant’s payments of Operating Expenses for such year, the excess shall be due and payable by Tenant as Rent within 30 days after delivery of such Annual Statement to Tenant. If Tenant’s payments of Operating Expenses for such year exceed Tenant’s Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant within 30 days after delivery of such Annual Statement, except that after the expiration, or earlier termination of the Term or if Tenant is delinquent in its obligation to pay Rent, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant after deducting all other amounts due Landlord.

Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder are collectively referred to herein as “Rent.”

6. Intentionally Deleted.

7. Use. The Premises shall be used solely for the Permitted Use set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, and in compliance with all laws, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, and to the use and occupancy thereof, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq. (together with the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, “ADA”) (collectively, “Legal Requirements” and each, a “Legal Requirement”). Tenant shall, upon 5 days’ written notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises that is declared by any Governmental Authority (as defined in Section 9) having jurisdiction to be a violation of a Legal Requirement. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant’s or Landlord’s insurance, increase the insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any sprinkler or other credits; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant’s Permitted Use in compliance with this Lease be deemed a violation of the foregoing. As of the Commencement Date, Landlord confirms that Tenant’s use of the Premises in accordance with the Permitted Use and all applicable Legal Requirements will not cause an increase in the premiums for the insurance that Landlord is required to maintain under this Lease. Tenant shall not permit any part of the Premises to be used as a “place of public accommodation”, as defined in the ADA or any similar legal requirement. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within 30 days after written notice as Additional Rent upon demand for any additional premium charged for any such insurance policy by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section or otherwise caused by Tenant’s use and/or occupancy of the Premises in a manner that is not in compliance with the Permitted Use. Tenant will use the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit or permit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises, subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises or obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord or other tenants or occupants of the Project, including conducting or giving notice of any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises, or using or allowing the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall cause any equipment or machinery to be installed in the Premises so as to reasonably prevent sounds or vibrations from the Premises from extending into Common Areas, or other space in the Project. Tenant shall not place any machinery or equipment weighing 500 pounds or more in or upon the Premises or transport or move such items through the Common Areas of the Project without the prior written consent of Landlord. Except as may be provided under the Work Letter, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, use the Premises in any manner that will require ventilation, air exchange, heating, gas, steam, electricity or water beyond the existing capacity of the Project as proportionately allocated to the Premises based upon Tenant’s Share as usually furnished for the Permitted Use.

(a) Modifications to Common Areas. Landlord shall be responsible for the compliance of the Common Areas of the Project, including the non-exclusive stairwell in the Building that provides Tenant with access to the second floor of the Premises (“Shared Tenant Stairwell”), and the exterior of the Building with the ADA as of the Commencement Date. Thereafter, Landlord shall, as an Operating

Expense (to the extent such Legal Requirement is generally applicable to similar buildings in the area in which the Project is located and to the extent such Operating Expense is permitted under the terms of this Lease) or at Tenant’s expense (to the extent such Legal Requirement is applicable solely by reason of Tenant’s, as compared to other tenants of the Project, particular use of the Premises) make any alterations or modifications to the Common Areas (including the Shared Tenant Stairwell) or the exterior of the Building that are required by Legal Requirements, including the ADA, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall make any alterations or modifications to the interior of the Premises that are required by Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, compliance of the Premises with the ADA). Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible for any and all demands, claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, actions, causes of action, damages or judgments, and all reasonable expenses incurred in investigating or resisting the same (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements and costs of suit) (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or in connection with the failure of the Premises to comply with any Legal Requirements, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, hold and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all Claims arising out of or in connection with any failure of the Premises to comply with any Legal Requirement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Section 7(a), Tenant’s obligations under this Section 7(a) shall not apply to any Legal Requirement to be complied with by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or if such obligations arise from a breach of this Lease by Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties (as defined below).

8. Holding Over. If, with Landlord’s express written consent, Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the termination of the Term, (i) unless otherwise agreed in such written consent, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord at any time, (ii) all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the adjustment of Base Rent pursuant to Section 4 hereof) shall remain in full force and effect (excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option) during such holdover period, (iii) Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent in the amount payable upon the date of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or such other amount as Landlord may indicate, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, in such written consent, and (iv) all other payments shall continue under the terms of this Lease. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the express written consent of Landlord, (A) Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon the terms of this Lease except that the monthly rental shall be equal to 150% of Rent in effect during the last 30 days of the Term, and (B) Tenant shall be responsible for all damages suffered by Landlord resulting from or occasioned by Tenant’s holding over (including consequential damages if Landlord has advised Tenant in advance of any particular consequential damages that Landlord may incur or suffer as a result of Tenant’s holding over, including, without limitation, consequential damages that Landlord may incur or suffer by reason of Landlord’s inability to lease the Premises or deliver occupancy to a particular tenant). No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Section 8 shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease shall not result in a renewal or reinstatement of this Lease.

9. Taxes. Landlord shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, all taxes, levies, fees, assessments and governmental charges of any kind, existing as of the Commencement Date or thereafter enacted (collectively referred to as “Taxes”), imposed by any federal, state, regional, municipal, local or other governmental authority or agency, including, without limitation, quasi-public agencies (collectively, “Governmental Authority”) during the Term, including, without limitation, all Taxes: (I) imposed on or measured by or based, in whole or in part, on rent payable to (or gross receipts received by) Landlord under this Lease and/or from the rental by Landlord of the Project or any portion thereof, or (ii) based on the square footage, assessed value or other measure or evaluation of any kind of the Premises or the Project, or (iii) assessed or imposed by or on the operation or maintenance of any portion of the Premises or the Project, including parking, or (iv) assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from Legal Requirements, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any Governmental Authority, or (v) imposed as a license or other fee, charge, tax, or assessment on

Landlord’s business or occupation of leasing space in the Project. Landlord may contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens securing Taxes. Taxes shall not include any net income taxes imposed on Landlord except to the extent such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any such Tax is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, any and all Taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises, whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant. If any Taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property, or if the assessed valuation of the Project is increased by a value attributable to improvements in or alterations to the Premises, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, higher than the base valuation on which Landlord from time-to-time allocates Taxes to all tenants in the Project, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Taxes. Landlord’s determination of any excess assessed valuation shall be binding and conclusive, absent manifest error. The amount of any such payment by Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord immediately upon demand.

10. Parking. Subject to all Legal Requirements, Force Majeure, a Taking (as defined in Section 19 below) and the exercise by Landlord of its rights hereunder, Tenant shall have the right, in common with other tenants of the Project pro rata in accordance with the rentable area of the Premises and the rentable areas of the Project occupied by such other tenants, to park in those areas designated for non-reserved parking, subject in each case to Landlord’s rules and regulations. Landlord may allocate parking spaces among Tenant and other tenants in the Project pro rata as described above if Landlord determines that such parking facilities are becoming crowded. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant’s parking rights against any third parties, including other tenants of the Project. As of the Commencement Date, the current parking ratio is 3 standard sized spaces per 1,000 leased rentable square feet. Landlord shall, at its cost, post “no parking” signs in the parking bay area serving the Premises.

11. Utilities, Services.

(a) General. Landlord shall provide, subject to the terms of this Section 11, janitorial services to the Common Areas, water, electricity, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, and other utilities (including gas and fire sprinklers to the extent the Project is plumbed for such services), and refuse and trash collection (collectively, “Utilities”). Tenant shall be responsible for its own janitorial service within the Premises. Landlord shall pay, as Operating Expenses or subject to Tenant’s reimbursement obligation, for all Utilities used on the Premises, all maintenance charges for Utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for Utilities imposed by any Governmental Authority or Utility provider, and any taxes, penalties, surcharges or similar charges thereon. Upon Landlord or Tenant’s election, Landlord shall cause, at Tenant’s expense, any Utilities not separately metered as of the Commencement Date to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord may require that water service to the Premises be separately metered if Landlord determines that Tenant is using a disproportionate amount of water in comparison to other tenants in the Project. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that electricity for the Premises is separately metered. Tenant shall pay directly to the Utility provider, prior to delinquency, any separately metered Utilities and services that may be furnished to Tenant or the Premises during the Term. Tenant shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, its share of all charges for jointly metered Utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord. No interruption or failure of Utilities, from any cause whatsoever other than Landlord’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall result in eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant, termination of this Lease or, except as provided in this Section 11, the abatement of Rent. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer with respect to Common Areas to normal restroom use. If any interruption of electricity shall continue for more than 7 consecutive business days or if any interruption of water shall continue for more than 3 consecutive business days, or in either case for 30 business days (whether consecutive or not) out of 45 consecutive business days, and shall

render any material portion of the Premises unusable for the purpose of conducting Tenant’s business as permitted under this Lease, then to the extent (and only to the extent) that Landlord receives rent loss insurance (or its equivalent) proceeds from its carrier in respect of such interruption, ail Base Rent payable hereunder with respect to the affected portion of the Premises shall be abated to such extent as follows: (i) in the case of an interruption of 7 consecutive business days (for electricity) or 3 consecutive business days (for water), Base Rent shall xxxxx for such portion of the Premises for the period beginning on the 8th consecutive business day (for electricity) or on the 4th consecutive business day (for water) of such failure, and shall continue until substantial use of the affected portion of the Premises is restored to Tenant; and (ii) in the case of an interruption of 30 business days out of 45 consecutive business days, Base Rent shall xxxxx, during that calendar year, immediately for any additional business day after the 30th business day of interruption and shall continue until substantial use of the affected portion of the Premises is restored to Tenant.

(b) Emergency Generators.

(i) Suite 200 Generator. Landlord’s sole obligation for either providing emergency generators or providing emergency back-up power to Tenant shall be to provide the existing emergency generator and associated fuel tank and equipment exclusively serving Suite 200 of the Premises (collectively, “Suite 200 Generator”) with not less than the stated capacity of the Suite 200 Generator as of the Commencement Date.

(ii) Additional Generators. Subject to the satisfaction, in Landlord’s sole, but reasonable, judgment, of all of the conditions set forth in this Section 11, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install and once installed shall maintain in a location mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant for use in connection with Tenant’s business in the Premises one or more generators with a capacity acceptable to Landlord (collectively, “Additional Generators”) and an above-ground fuel storage tank with adequate capacity as mutually agreed by Landlord and Tenant (“Fuel Tank”).

(A) Parking. If the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank occupy any parking spaces, the number of parking spaces so occupied shall be counted against Tenant’s pro rata share of parking spaces set forth in Section 10.

(B) Installation; Maintenance; Removal. The Additional Generators and Fuel Tank and all related piping, venting, and metering devices shall be installed by a contractor reasonably acceptable to Landlord and thereafter shall be properly maintained by Tenant, all at Tenant’s sole expense. Tenant shall be responsible for connecting the Additional Generators to the electrical supply system serving the Premises in accordance with the requirements of Landlord’s electrical engineer/contractor. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank shall, at the election of Tenant, be removed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and the area on which they were located shall be returned to the condition it was in prior to the installation of the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank. If Tenant does not elect to so remove the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank, Landlord shall acquire sole ownership of the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank free and clear of all liens and encumbrances so that Landlord has good and marketable title thereto and Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a xxxx of sale therefor (in the absence of a xxxx of sale, this Section shall constitute the xxxx of sale). Tenant shall pay all governmental fees, charges, and taxes and all hook-up and disconnection fees associated with Tenant’s use of the Additional Generators and Landlord shall have no liability therefor. All of the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the insurance, maintenance, repair, release, and indemnification provisions set forth in this Lease shall apply and be applicable to Tenant’s installation, operation, maintenance, and removal of the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, secure all necessary permits and approvals from all applicable Governmental Authorities for the size, placement, installation, and

removal of the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank. If Tenant is unable to obtain the necessary approvals and permits from any Governmental Authorities for the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank, Tenant shall have no remedy, claim, cause of action, or recourse against Landlord, nor shall such failure or inability to obtain any necessary permits or approvals provide Tenant the right to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in securing all necessary permits and approvals for the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to spend any monies in connection with obtaining such permits and approvals and shall not be required to perform any act or otherwise take any action that would impose or create any liabilities on Landlord. Without limiting any other obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, install, maintain, and repair the Additional Generators and Fuel Tank and keep such equipment in good order and operating condition. The Fuel Tank shall serve as the fuel source for the Additional Generators to be installed by Tenant, Any installation work described in this Section shall comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease.

(C) Insurance. If the presence of the Fuel Tank and all related infrastructure (including, but not limited to, piping, venting, and metering devices) is the sole cause of an increase in Landlord’s property or liability insurance premiums for the Building, Landlord shall so inform Tenant in writing (which notice shall include evidence from the insurer requiring same) and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent within 30 days after demand therefor an amount equal to such increase.

(iii) No Other Generators. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with additional operational emergency generators or back-up power or to supervise, oversee, or confirm that Tenant or any third party maintaining the Suite 200 Generator and the Additional Generators (collectively, the “Generators”) is maintaining the Generators as per the manufacturer’s standard guidelines or otherwise. During any period of replacement, repair, or maintenance of the Generators when any of the Generators is not operational, including any delays thereto due to the inability to obtain parts or replacement equipment, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with an alternative back-up generator or generators or alternative sources of back-up power. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord does not guaranty that the Generators will be operational at all times or that emergency power will be available to the Premises when needed.

(iv) Maintenance. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, at all times during the Term maintain with a qualified contractor a maintenance and repair contract (“Maintenance Contract”) for the Generators. The Maintenance Contract shall be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord shall be a third party beneficiary of the Maintenance Contract and, within 30 days after Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver a copy of the Maintenance Contract to Landlord.

(v) Testing. Tenant shall be allowed to test the Generators once a week at a time mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall immediately take all necessary actions to prevent the Generators from causing any adverse effects to the air quality of the Building. No promotional or advertising matter or signage shall be attached to, painted, or displayed on the Generators.

(vi) Removal of Suite 200 Generator. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Suite 200 Generator shall remain at the Project and Tenant shall return the Suite 200 Generator (or a replacement unit) to Landlord in the good working condition it was in on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall pay all governmental fees, charges, and taxes and all disconnection fees associated with Tenant’s use of the Suite 200 Generator and Landlord shall have no liability therefor. All of the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the insurance, maintenance, repair, release, and indemnification provisions set forth in this Lease shall apply and be applicable to Tenant’s operation, maintenance, and removal of the Suite 200

Generator. Without limiting any other obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain, repair, and replace the Suite 200 Generator and keep it in good order and operating condition.

(vii) Compliance. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all Legal Requirements that may now or hereafter be applicable to the area in which the Generators are located or to the use, operation, repair, maintenance, and replacement of the Generators. The Legal Requirements include, but are not limited to, Legal Requirements (i) requiring that Tenant obtain the necessary permits and approvals for the use, operation, repair, maintenance, and replacement of the Generators, (ii) prohibiting any form of pollution, (iii) requiring the person discharging or permitting the discharging of Hazardous Materials or participating in the discharge or spilling of Hazardous Materials to report such discharge or spill to the proper Governmental Authorities, (iv) requiring certain inspections, gauging, and recordkeeping. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses, claims, fines, penalties, and damages that may in any manner arise out of or be imposed because of the failure of Tenant to comply with this Section. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord and its officers, members, directors, employees, managers, employees, agents, and contractors from all claims, injuries, damages, costs, expenses, losses, and liabilities (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Tenant’s failure to comply with this Section. Each party shall promptly give notice to the other of any notice of violation received by such party. If Tenant replaces any Generator with a new generator, Landlord shall have all right, title, and interest in such replacement Generator.

12. Alterations and Tenant’s Property. Any alterations, additions, or improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, including additional locks or bolts of any kind or nature upon any doors or windows in the Premises, but excluding the initial Tenant Improvements (as defined in the Work Letter and whose installation shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter) installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems (other than removal of furniture systems owned or paid for by Landlord) not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to Building Systems (as defined in Section 13) (“Alterations”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if any such Alteration affects the structure or Building Systems, but which shall otherwise not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Landlord approves any Alterations, Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant in connection with the commencement, performance and completion of such Alterations as Landlord may deem appropriate in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Any request for approval shall be in writing, delivered not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction, and accompanied by plans, specifications, bid proposals, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the Alterations as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, including the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit (provided that any monitoring by Landlord shall be done in strict accordance with the access restrictions contained set forth in Section 32 below), and Landlord shall have no duty to ensure that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, all Alterations to comply with insurance requirements set forth in this Lease and with Legal Requirements and shall implement at its sole cost and expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Alterations. In connection with the approval by Landlord of any Alteration, at Tenant’s request Landlord shall submit to Tenant a non-binding estimate of Landlord’s out of pocket costs expected to be incurred by Landlord for plan review, coordination, scheduling, and supervision in connection with any Alteration. Tenant shall have 5 days from receipt of Landlord’s cost estimate to withdraw its request for the Alteration by written notice to Landlord. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s election to withdraw the request for the Alteration within such 5 day period, Tenant shall be responsible to pay Landlord’s actual, but reasonable, out of pockets costs incurred by Landlord related to such Alteration as noted on the estimate. Before Tenant begins any Alteration, Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for, and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, any expense incurred by Landlord by

reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors, delays caused by such work, or inadequate cleanup with respect to any Alteration.

Tenant shall furnish security or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all Alterations work free and clear of liens, and shall provide (and cause each contractor or subcontractor to provide) certificates of insurance (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; form XXXXX 28 [2006/07] is not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) for workers’ compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (1) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did the work and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors; and (ii) “as built” plans for any such Alteration.

Other than (i) the items, if any, listed on Exhibit F attached hereto, (ii) any items agreed by Landlord in writing to be included on Exhibit F in the future, and (iii) any trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, and other personal property paid for by Tenant that may be removed without material damage to the Premises, which damage shall be repaired (including capping or terminating utility hook-ups behind walls) by Tenant during the Term (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”), all Alterations, real property fixtures, built-in machinery and equipment, built-in casework and cabinets and other similar additions and improvements built into the Premises so as to become an integral part of the Premises, such as fume hoods that penetrate the roof or plenum area, built-in cold rooms, built-in warm rooms, walk-in cold rooms, walk-in warm rooms, deionized water systems, glass washing equipment, autoclaves, chillers, built-in plumbing, electrical and mechanical equipment and systems, and any power generator and transfer switch (collectively, “Installations”) shall be and shall remain the property of Landlord during the Term and following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, shall not be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof in accordance with Section 28 following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord shall, at the time of its approval of any future Installation, notify Tenant if it has elected to cause Tenant to remove such Installation upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall remove such Installation upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and restore any damage caused by or occasioned as a result of such removal, including, when removing any of Tenant’s Property that was plumbed, wired or otherwise connected to any of the Building Systems, capping off all such connections behind the walls of the Premises and repairing any holes. During any such restoration period, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as provided herein as if said space were otherwise occupied by Tenant. Attached hereto as a part hereof as Exhibit G is a list of the Installations existing in the Premises as of the Commencement Date.

13. Landlord’s Repairs. Landlord, as an Operating Expense, shall maintain all of the structural (including roof, slab, and exterior walls and glass), exterior, parking and other Common Areas of the Project, including (except as otherwise provided in Section 14 below) plumbing, fire sprinklers, and all other building systems serving the Premises and other portions of the Project (“Building Systems”), in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, or by any of Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) excluded. Losses and damages caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party shall be repaired by Landlord, to the extent not covered by insurance, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord reserves the right to stop Building Systems services when necessary (i) by reason of accident or emergency, or (ii) for planned repairs, alterations or improvements, which are, in the judgment of Landlord, desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply Building Systems services during any such period of interruption; provided, however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, make a commercially reasonable effort to give Tenant 7 days advance notice of any planned stoppage of Building Systems services for routine maintenance, repairs, alterations or improvements. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to effect such repair. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to

make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after Tenant’s written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance. Landlord’s right to perform work in the Premises pursuant to this Section 13 shall be performed in accordance with the access restrictions set forth in Section 32 below. Tenant waives its rights under any state or local law to terminate this Lease or to make such repairs at Landlord’s expense but retains such other rights and remedies set forth in Section 31 below. Repairs required as the result of fire, earthquake, flood, vandalism, war, or similar cause of damage or destruction shall be controlled by Section 18.

14. Tenant’s Repairs. Subject to Section 13 hereof, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition all portions of the Premises, including, without limitation, entries, doors, ceilings, interior windows, interior walls, and the interior side of demising walls. Such repair and replacement may include capital expenditures and repairs whose benefit may extend beyond the Term. Should Tenant fail to make any such repair or replacement or fail to maintain the Premises, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such failure. Landlord’s right to perform work in the Premises pursuant to this Section 14 shall be performed in accordance with the access restrictions set forth in Section 32 below. If Tenant fails to commence cure of such failure within 10 days of Landlord’s notice, and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, Landlord may perform such work and shall be reimbursed by Tenant within 30 days after written notice therefor as Additional Rent; provided, however, that if such failure by Tenant creates or could create an emergency, Landlord may immediately commence cure of such failure and shall thereafter be entitled to recover the costs of such cure from Tenant. Subject to Sections 17 and 18, Tenant shall bear the full uninsured cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Project that results from damage caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party and any repair that benefits only the Premises.

(a) HVAC Units. Tenant, at its expense, shall at all times during the Term maintain with qualified contractors maintenance and repair contracts (“HVAC Maintenance Contracts”) for the rooftop mounted HVAC units exclusively serving the Premises. The HVAC Maintenance Contracts shall be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord shall be a third party beneficiary of the HVAC Maintenance Contracts and, within 5 days after Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver a copy of the HVAC Maintenance Contracts to Landlord.

15. Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant shall discharge, by bond or otherwise, any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or against the Project for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant within 25 days after the filing thereof, at Tenant’s sole cost and shall otherwise keep the Premises and the Project free from any liens arising out of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Should Tenant fail to discharge any lien described herein, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such claim or post a bond or otherwise provide security to eliminate the lien as a claim against title to the Project and the cost thereof shall be immediately due from Tenant as Additional Rent. If Tenant shall lease or finance the acquisition of office equipment, furnishings, or other personal property of a removable nature utilized by Tenant in the operation of Tenant’s business, any Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement that Tenant desires to file as a matter of public record with respect to any lessor or creditor of Tenant shall apply only to removable personal property of Tenant located within the Premises that is specifically itemized in such Financing Statement (as opposed to an alt-asset style filing).

16. Indemnification.

(a) By Tenant. Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend, save and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all Claims for injury or death to persons or damage to property occurring within or about the Premises, arising directly or indirectly out of use or occupancy of the Premises or a breach or default by Tenant in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, unless caused solely by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant assumes all risk of damage to, personal property (including, without limitation, loss of records kept within the Premises). Tenant further waives any and all Claims for injury to Tenant’s

business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal property (including, without limitation, any loss of records). Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act, omission or neglect of any tenant in the Project or of any other third party.

(b) By Landlord. Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend, save and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all Claims for injury or death to persons or damage to property occurring within or about the Common Area caused by Landlord’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or negligence of Tenant.

17. Insurance. Landlord shall maintain all risk property and, if applicable, sprinkler damage insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Project. Landlord shall further procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance with a single loss limit of not less than $[***] for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Project and rent loss insurance (or its equivalent). Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, flood, environmental hazard and earthquake, loss or failure of building equipment, errors and omissions, rental loss during the period of repair or rebuilding, workers’ compensation insurance and fidelity bonds for employees employed to perform services and insurance for any improvements installed by Tenant or that are in addition to the standard improvements customarily furnished by Landlord without regard to whether or not such are made a part of the Project. All such insurance shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses. The Project may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Project will be determined by Landlord based upon the insurer’s cost calculations). Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance that Landlord reasonably deems necessary as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises in a manner that is not in compliance with the Permitted Use.

Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain during the Term: all risk property insurance with business interruption and extra expense coverage, covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense; workers’ compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law; employer’s liability insurance with such limits as required by law; and commercial general liability insurance, with a minimum limit of not less than $[***] per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Premises. The commercial general liability insurance policy shall name Landlord and Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., and its and their respective members, officers, directors, employees, managers, and agents (collectively, “Landlord Parties”), as additional insureds; insure on an occurrence and not a claims-made basis; be issued by insurance companies that have a rating of not less than policyholder rating of A and financial category rating of at least Class X in “Best’s Insurance Guide”; shall not be cancelable for nonpayment of premium unless 30 days prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord from Tenant; contain a hostile fire endorsement and a contractual liability endorsement; and provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant’s policies). Copies of such policies (if requested by Landlord), or certificates of insurance (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; form XXXXX 28 [2006/07] is not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) showing the limits of coverage required hereunder and showing Landlord as an additional insured, along with reasonable evidence of the payment of premiums for the applicable period, shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon commencement of the Term and upon each renewal of said insurance. Tenant’s policy may be a “blanket policy” with an aggregate per location endorsement that specifically provides that the amount of insurance shall not be prejudiced by other losses covered by the policy. Tenant shall, at least 5 days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewal certificates.

In each instance where insurance is to name Landlord as an additional insured, Tenant shall upon written request of Landlord also designate and furnish certificates so evidencing Landlord as additional insured to: (i) any lender of Landlord holding a security interest in the Project or any portion thereof, (ii) the landlord under any lease wherein Landlord is tenant of the real property on which the Project is located, if the interest of Landlord is or shall become that of a tenant under a ground or other

underlying lease rather than that of a fee owner, and/or (iii) any management company retained by Landlord to manage the Project.

The property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, and their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors (“Related Parties”), in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Neither party nor its respective Related Parties shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk insured against under property insurance required to be maintained hereunder, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its respective Related Parties, for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Landlord and its respective Related Parties shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for, business interruption and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever. If the foregoing waivers shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the other’s insurer.

Landlord may require insurance policy limits to be raised to conform with requirements of Landlord’s lender and/or to bring coverage limits to levels then being generally required of new tenants within the Project.

18. Restoration. If, at any time during the Term, any portion of the Building shall be damaged or destroyed by a fire or other casualty to the extent that the operation of Tenant’s business in the Premises in the normal course is materially adversely affected or if any portion of the Premises are damaged or destroyed by a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after discovery of such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Building or the Premises, as applicable (“Restoration Period”). If the Restoration Period is estimated to exceed 270 days (“Maximum Restoration Period”), Landlord may, in such notice, elect to terminate this Lease as of the date that is 75 days after the date of discovery of such damage or destruction; provided, however, that notwithstanding Landlord’s election to restore, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within 5 business days of receipt of a notice from Landlord estimating a Restoration Period for the Premises longer than the Maximum Restoration Period. Unless either Landlord or Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, subject to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds (with any deductible to be treated as a current Operating Expense), promptly restore the Premises to their condition on the date of Delivery (excluding the improvements installed by Tenant or by Landlord and paid for by Tenant unless covered by the insurance Landlord maintains as an Operating Expense hereunder, in which case such improvements shall be included, to the extent of such insurance proceeds, in Landlord’s restoration), subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, from Force Majeure events or as needed to obtain any license, clearance or other authorization of any kind required to enter into and restore the Premises issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release, disposal, removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials in, on, or about the Premises (collectively referred to herein as “Hazardous Materials Clearances”); provided, however, that if repair or restoration of the Premises is not substantially complete as of the end of the Maximum Restoration Period or, if longer, the Restoration Period, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to proceed with such repair and restoration or Tenant may by written notice to Landlord delivered within 5 business days of the expiration of the Maximum Restoration Period or, if longer, the Restoration Period, elect to terminate this Lease, in which event Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs or restoration and this Lease shall terminate as of the date that is 30 days after the later of: (i) discovery of such damage or destruction, or (ii) the date all required Hazardous Materials Clearances are obtained, but Landlord shall retain any Rent paid and the right to any Rent payable by Tenant prior to such election by Landlord or Tenant, subject to the abatement set forth in the paragraph below. Landlord’s right to perform any such repair or restoration in the Premises pursuant to this Section 18 shall be performed in accordance with the access restrictions set forth in Section 32 below.

Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, from Force Majeure (as defined in Section 34) events or to obtain Hazardous Material Clearances, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly reenter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease upon Landlord’s completion of the repairs or restoration of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of the Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than 2 months to repair such damage, or if insurance proceeds are not available for such restoration. Rent shall be abated from the date all required Hazardous Material Clearances are obtained until the Premises are repaired and restored, in the proportion that the area of the Premises, if any, that is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises, unless Landlord provides Tenant with other space during the period of repair that is suitable for the temporary conduct of Tenant’s business as reasonably determined by Tenant. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided in this Section 18, Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss.

The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 18, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, or any other portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation that is now or may hereafter be in effect shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises or any other portion of the Project, the parties hereto expressly agreeing that this Section 18 sets forth their entire understanding and agreement with respect to such matters.

19. Condemnation. If the whole or any material part of the Premises or the Project is taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking would either prevent or materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or materially interfere with or impair Landlord’s ownership or operation of the Project, then upon written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate and Rent shall be apportioned as of said date. If part of the Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises and the Project as nearly as is commercially reasonable under the circumstances to their condition prior to such partial Taking and the rentable square footage of the Building, the rentable square footage of the Premises, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and the Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired Term shall be reduced on a pro rata basis unless otherwise agreed between the parties. Upon any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures, if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to any provision of state law to terminate this Lease upon a partial Taking of the Premises or the Project.

20. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be a default (“Default”) by Tenant under this Lease:

(a) Payment Defaults. Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Rent or any other payment hereunder when due; provided, however, that Landlord will give Tenant notice and an opportunity to cure any failure to pay Rent within 5 days of any such notice not more than once in any 12 month period and Tenant agrees that such notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to, or shall be deemed to be, any notice required by law.

(b) Insurance. Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be canceled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, or Landlord

shall receive a notice of nonrenewal of any such insurance and Tenant shall fail to obtain replacement insurance at least 15 days before the expiration of the current coverage.

(c) Abandonment. Tenant shall abandon the Premises without (i) the release of the Premises of all Hazardous Materials Clearances and free of any residual impact from the Tenant HazMat Operations, and (ii) complying with the provisions of Section 28.

(d) Improper Transfer. Tenant shall assign, sublease or otherwise transfer or attempt to transfer all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises except as expressly permitted herein, or Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be attached, executed upon, or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within 90 days of the action.

(e) Liens. Tenant shall fail to discharge or otherwise obtain the release of any lien placed upon the Premises in violation of this Lease within 25 days after any such lien is filed against the Premises.

(f) Insolvency Events. Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall: (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a “Proceeding for Relief”); (C) become the subject of any Proceeding for Relief that is not dismissed within 90 days of its filing or entry; or (D) be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence.

(g) Estoppel Certificate or Subordination Agreement. Tenant fails to execute any document required from Tenant under Sections 23 or 27 within 5 days after a second notice requesting such document, provided that such second notice states in bold and capitalized letters that Tenant’s failure to respond within 5 days shall constitute a Default.

(h) Other Defaults. Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Section 20, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such failure shall continue for a period of 15 days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.

Any notice given under Section 20(h) hereof shall: (i) specify the alleged default, (ii) demand that Tenant cure such default, (iii) be in lieu of, and not in addition to, or shall be deemed to be, any notice required under any provision of applicable law, and (iv) not be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord elects otherwise in such notice; provided that if the nature of Tenant’s default pursuant to Section 20(h) is such that it cannot be cured by the payment of money and reasonably requires more than 15 days to cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said 15 day period and thereafter diligently and with continuity prosecutes the same to completion as long as such default does not (A) impair the value or condition of the Premises or the Building, (B) cause Landlord to be in default under any agreement to which it is a party or is bound, (C) cause Landlord to incur any fines, penalties, costs, or expenses, or (D) subject Landlord or the Project to any liability or risk of loss.

21. Landlord’s Remedies.

(a) Interest. Upon a Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant hereunder, make such payment or perform such act. All sums so paid or incurred by Landlord, together with interest thereon, from the date such sums were paid or incurred, at the annual rate equal to [***]% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (“Default Rate”), whichever

is less, shall be payable to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent. Nothing herein shall be construed to create or impose a duty on Landlord to mitigate any damages resulting from Tenant’s Default hereunder.

(b) Late Payment Rent. Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord under any Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within 5 days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of [***]% of the overdue Rent as a late charge (provided that Tenant shall not be required to pay such late charge upon the first occurrence of a late payment by Tenant of Rent). The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the 5th day after the date due until paid.

(c) Re-Entry. Landlord shall have the right, immediately or at any time after a Default, without further notice to Tenant (unless otherwise provided herein), to enter the Premises, without terminating this Lease or being guilty of trespass, and do any and all acts as Landlord may deem necessary, proper or convenient to cure such Default, for the account and at the expense of Tenant, any notice to quit or notice of Landlord’s intention to re-enter being hereby expressly waived, and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent all damage and/or expense incurred by Landlord in so doing, including interest at the Default Rate, from the due date until the date payment is received by Landlord.

(d) Termination. Upon a Default, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and, in accordance with legal process, take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant, any occupant and any property therefrom, without being guilty of trespass and without relinquishing any rights of Landlord against Tenant, any notice to quit, or notice of Landlord’s intention to re-enter being hereby expressly waived. Landlord shall be entitled to recover damages from Tenant for all amounts covenanted to be paid during the remainder of the Term (except for the period of any holdover by Tenant, in which case the monthly rental rate stated at Section 8 herein shall apply), which may be accelerated by Landlord at its option, together with (i) all expenses of any proceedings (including, but not limited to, the expenses set forth in Section 22(f) below) that ‘may be necessary in order for Landlord to recover possession of the Premises, (ii) the expenses of the re-renting of the Premises (including, but not limited to, any commissions paid to any real estate agent, advertising expense and the costs of such alterations, repairs, replacements or modifications that Landlord, in its sole judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-renting), and (iii) interest computed at the Default Rate from the due date until paid; provided, however, that there shall be credited against the amount of such damages all amounts received by Landlord from such re-renting of the Premises, with any overage being refunded to Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-rent the Premises or, in the event that the Premises are re-rented, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such re-renting and Tenant expressly waives any duty of the Landlord to mitigate damages. No act or thing done by Landlord shall be deemed to be an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, unless Landlord shall execute a written agreement of surrender with Tenant. Tenant’s liability hereunder shall not be terminated by the execution of a new lease of the Premises by Landlord. In the event Landlord does not exercise its option to accelerate the payment of amounts owed as provided hereinabove, then Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, upon demand, the amount of damages herein provided after the amount of such damages for any month shall have been ascertained; provided, however, that any expenses incurred by Landlord shall be deemed to be a part of the damages for the month in which they were incurred. Separate actions may be maintained each month or at other times by Landlord against Tenant to recover the damages then due, without waiting until the end of the term of this Lease to determine the aggregate amount of such damages. 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 being dispossessed for any cause, 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.

(e) Lien for Rent. Upon any Default by Tenant in the payment of Rent or other amounts owed hereunder, Landlord shall have a lien upon the property of Tenant in the Premises for the amount of such unpaid amounts, and Tenant hereby specifically waives any and all exemptions allowed by law. In such event, Tenant shall not remove any of Tenant’s property from the Premises except with the prior written consent of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right and privilege, at its option, to take possession of all Tenant’s property in the Premises, to store the same on the Premises, or to remove it and store it in such place as may be selected by Landlord, at Tenant’s risk and expense. If Tenant fails to redeem the personal property so seized, by payment of whatever sum may be due Landlord hereunder (including all storage costs), Landlord shall have the right, after 20 days written notice to Tenant of its intention to do so, to sell such personal property so seized at public or private sale and upon such terms and conditions as may appear advantageous to Landlord, and after the payment of all proper charges incident to such sale, apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of any balance due to Landlord on account of rent or other obligations of Tenant pursuant to this Lease. In the event there shall then remain in the hands of Landlord any balance realized from the sale of said personal property, the same shall be paid over to Tenant. The exercise of the foregoing remedy by Landlord shall not relieve or discharge Tenant from any deficiency owed to Landlord that Landlord has the right to enforce pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall also be liable for all expenses incident to the foregoing process, including any auctioneer or attorney’s fees or commissions. At Tenant’s request, Landlord shall subordinate its lien rights as set forth in this paragraph to the lien, operation, and effect of any bona fide third party financing for equipment, trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, and/or working capital pursuant to a subordination agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Such subordination shall be limited to specific items of equipment and shall not be in the form of a blanket lien subordination.

(f) Expenses. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent and immediately upon written demand from Landlord, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, paralegal fees, other litigation expenses (such as expenses for photocopying, electronic legal research, and deposition transcripts), and court costs in connection with or arising out of any Default by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, any action or proceeding brought by Landlord to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or the right of Landlord in or to the Premises. Such expenses are recoverable at all levels, including appeals and post-judgment actions or proceedings. The giving of a notice of Default by Landlord shall constitute part of an action or proceeding under this Lease, entitling Landlord to reimbursement of such fees and expenses, even if an action or proceeding is not commenced in a court of law and regardless of whether the Default is cured.

(g) Other Remedies. Upon a Default by Tenant hereunder and in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord under this Lease or otherwise, Landlord shall be entitled to recover damages from Tenant an amount equal to the unamortized portion of the Base Rent abated pursuant to Section 4. Such abated Base Rent shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the Base Term, assuming equal monthly installments of principal at an interest rate of zero percent (0%). In addition to the remedies set forth in this Section 21, Landlord, at its option, without further notice or demand to Tenant, shall have all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity.

22. Assignment and Subletting.

(a) General Prohibition. Without Landlord’s prior written consent subject to and on the conditions described in this Section 22, Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the Premises, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, the shares or other ownership interests thereof that are not actively traded upon

a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, a transfer or series of transfers whereby 49% or more of the issued and outstanding shares or other ownership interests of such corporation are, or voting control is, transferred (but excepting transfers upon deaths of individual owners) from a person or persons or entity or entities that were owners thereof at time of execution of this Lease to persons or entities who were not owners of shares or other ownership interests of the corporation, partnership or limited liability company at time of execution of this Lease, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease requiring the consent of Landlord as provided in this Section 22.

(b) Permitted Transfers. If Tenant desires to assign, sublease, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease or sublet the Premises other than pursuant to a Permitted Assignment (as defined below), then at least 15 business days, but not more than 45 business days, before the date Tenant desires the assignment or sublease to be effective (“Assignment Date”), Tenant shall give Landlord a notice (“Assignment Notice”) containing such information about the proposed assignee or sublessee, including the proposed use of the Premises and any Hazardous Materials proposed to be used, stored handled, treated, generated in or released or disposed of from the Premises, the Assignment Date, any relationship between Tenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee, and all material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, including a copy of any proposed assignment or sublease in its final form, and such other information as Landlord may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to its consideration whether to grant its consent. Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 15 business days after receipt of the Assignment Notice: (i) grant such consent, (ii) refuse such consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, if the proposed assignment, hypothecation or other transfer or subletting concerns more than (together with all other then effective subleases) 50% of the Premises, or (iii) refuse such consent, in its reasonable discretion, if the proposed subletting concerns (together with all other then effective subleases) 50% or less of the Premises (provided that Landlord shall further have the right to review and approve or disapprove the proposed form of sublease prior to the effective date of any such subletting). No failure of Landlord to deliver a timely notice in response to the Assignment Notice shall be deemed to be Landlord’s consent to the proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee not to exceed $[***] for Landlord’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection with its consideration of any Assignment Notice and/or its preparation or review of any consent documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of any portion of the Premises to any subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant (each a “Permitted Assignment”) shall not be required, provided that Landlord shall have the right to approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) the form of any such sublease or assignment.

(i) that any assignee or subtenant agree, in writing at the time of such assignment or subletting, that if Landlord gives such party notice that Tenant is in Default under this Lease, such party shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Tenant directly to Landlord, which payments will be received by Landlord without any liability except to credit such payment against those due under this Lease, and any such third party shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns should this Lease be terminated for any reason; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord or its successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; and

(ii) except for a Permitted Assignment whereby the assignee or sublessee occupies the Premises for the Permitted Use, if the proposed use of the Premises by an assignee or sublessee involves Hazardous Materials, a list of Hazardous Materials, certified by the proposed assignee or sublessee to be true and correct, which the proposed assignee or sublessee intends to use, store, handle, treat, generate in or release or dispose of from the Premises, together with copies of all documents relating to such use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the proposed assignee

or subtenant in the Premises or on the Project. Neither Tenant nor any such proposed assignee or subtenant is required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the such documents containing information of a proprietary nature that, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities.

(d) No Release of Tenant, Sharing of Excess Rents. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, if any, shall at all times remain fully and primarily responsible and liable for the payment of Rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease. If the Rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto in any form) exceeds the sum of (i) the rental payable under this Lease (excluding however, any Rent payable under this Section) and (ii) actual and reasonable brokerage fees, legal costs and any design or construction fees directly related to and required pursuant to the terms of any such assignment or sublease) (“Excess Rent”), then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder 50% of such Excess Rent within 30 days following receipt thereof by Tenant. If Tenant shall sublet the Premises or any part thereof, Tenant hereby immediately and irrevocably, upon a Default, assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any such subletting, and Landlord as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of a Default, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent.

(e) No Waiver. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant or any assignees of this Lease or any sublessees of the Premises from obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting nor shall it release Tenant or any assignee or sublessee of Tenant from full and primary liability under this Lease. The acceptance of Rent hereunder, or the acceptance of performance of any other term, covenant, or condition thereof, from any other person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or a consent to any subletting, assignment or other transfer of the Premises.

(f) Prior Conduct of Proposed Transferee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 22, if (i) the proposed assignee or sublessee of Tenant has been required by any prior landlord, lender or Governmental Authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property, where the contamination resulted from such party’s action or use of the property in question, (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is subject to an enforcement order issued by any Governmental Authority in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any Governmental Authority), or (iii) because of the existence of a pre-existing environmental condition in the vicinity of or underlying the Project, the risk that Landlord would be targeted as a responsible party in connection with the remediation of such pre-existing environmental condition would be materially increased or exacerbated by the proposed use of Hazardous Materials by such proposed assignee or sublessee, Landlord shall have the absolute right to refuse to consent to any assignment or subletting to any such party.

23. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, within 10 business days of written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing in any form reasonably requested by a proposed lender or purchaser, (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that there are not any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth such further information with respect to the status of this Lease or the Premises as may be requested thereon. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which the Premises are a part. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within 5 days after a second notice

requesting same shall, at the option of Landlord, be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect and without modification except as may be represented by Landlord in any certificate prepared by Landlord and delivered to Tenant for execution, provided that such second notice states in bold and capitalized letters that Tenant’s failure to respond within 5 days may result in such conclusion.

24. Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant shall perform all of the covenants and agreements herein required to be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all times during the Term, have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord.

25. Prorations. All prorations required or permitted to be made hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and 30 day months.

26. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and any extension thereof, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations at any time or from time to time established by Landlord covering use of the Premises and the Project. The current rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit E. If there is any conflict between said rules and regulations and other provisions of this Lease, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not have any liability or obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project and shall not enforce such rules and regulations in a discriminatory manner.

27. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant’s interest and rights hereunder are hereby made and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any Mortgage now existing or hereafter created on or against the Project or the Premises, and all amendments, restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancing, assignments and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant; provided, however that so long as there is no Default hereunder, Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed by the Holder of any such Mortgage. Tenant agrees, at the election of the Holder of any such Mortgage, to attorn to any such Holder. Tenant agrees upon demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such subordination, and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such Holder, provided any such instruments contain appropriate non-disturbance provisions assuring Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises as set forth in Section 24 hereof, Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder may at any time subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recording of such Mortgage and in that event such Holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such Mortgage and had been assigned to such Holder. As of the Commencement Date, no Mortgage encumbers the Project. On Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (but with no obligation to pay any out-of-pocket fees or sums) to obtain from any Holder of a first lien Mortgage at any time during the Term covering any or all of the Project or the Premises a non-disturbance agreement on Holder’s standard form in favor of Tenant assuring Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises as set forth in Section 24 hereof. The term “Mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the “Holder” of a Mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust.

28. Surrender. Upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, subject to any Alterations or Installations permitted by Landlord to remain in the Premises, free of Hazardous Materials brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by any person other than a Landlord Party (collectively, “Tenant HazMat Operations”) and released of all Hazardous Materials Clearances, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss and condemnation covered by Sections 18 and 19 excepted. At least 3 months prior to the surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a narrative description of the actions

proposed (or required by any Governmental Authority) to be taken by Tenant in order to surrender the Premises (including any Installations permitted by Landlord to remain in the Premises) at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, free from any residual impact from the Tenant HazMat Operations and otherwise released for unrestricted use and occupancy (“Surrender Plan”). Such Surrender Plan shall be accompanied by a current listing of (I) all Hazardous Materials licenses and permits held by or on behalf of any Tenant Party with respect to the Premises, and (ii) all Hazardous Materials used, stored, handled, treated, generated, released or disposed of from the Premises, and shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord’s environmental consultant. In connection with the review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional non-proprietary information concerning Tenant HazMat Operations as Landlord shall request. On or before such surrender, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence that the approved Surrender Plan shall have been satisfactorily completed and Landlord shall have the right, subject to reimbursement at Tenant’s expense as set forth below, to cause Landlord’s environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional procedures as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the effective date of such surrender or early termination of this Lease, free from any residual impact from Tenant HazMat Operations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the actual out-of pocket expense incurred by Landlord for Landlord’s environmental consultant to review and approve the Surrender Plan and to visit the Premises and verify satisfactory completion of the same, which cost shall not exceed $[***]. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to deliver such Surrender Plan and any report by Landlord’s environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the Premises to third parties.

If Tenant shall fail to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address any residual effect of Tenant HazMat Operations in, on or about the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to take such actions as Landlord may deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises and the Project are surrendered free from any residual impact from Tenant HazMat Operations, the cost of which actions shall be reimbursed by Tenant as Additional Rent, without regard to the limitation set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 28.

Tenant shall immediately return to Landlord all keys and/or access cards to parking, the Project, restrooms or all or any portion of the Premises furnished to or otherwise procured by Tenant. If any such access card or key is lost, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord’s election, either the cost of replacing such lost access card or key or the cost of reprogramming the access security system in which such access card was used or changing the lock or locks opened by such lost key. Any Tenant’s Property, Alterations and property not so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and/or disposition of such property. All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the termination of the Term, including the obligations of Tenant under Section 30 hereof, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, including, without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Rent and obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.

29. Waiver of Jury Trial. TENANT AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO.

30. Environmental Requirements.

(a) Prohibition/Compliance/Indemnity. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises or the Project in violation of applicable

Environmental Requirements (as hereinafter defined) by Tenant or any Tenant Party. If Tenant breaches the obligation stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Premises during the Term or any holding over results in contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property or if contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property by Hazardous Materials brought into, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by anyone other than Landlord and Landlord’s employees, agents and contractors otherwise occurs during the Term or any holding over, Tenant hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold Landlord, its officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors harmless from any and all actions (including, without limitation, remedial or enforcement actions of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising out of or resulting therefrom), costs, claims, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages and damages based upon diminution in value of the Premises or the Project, or the loss of, or restriction on, use of the Premises or any portion of the Project), expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees, court costs and amounts paid in settlement of any claims or actions), fines, forfeitures or other civil, administrative or criminal penalties, injunctive or other relief (whether or not based upon personal injury, property damage, or contamination of, or adverse effects upon, the environment, water tables or natural resources), liabilities or losses (collectively, “Environmental Claims”) that arise during or after the Term as a result of such contamination; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no indemnification, remediation, or other obligation or responsibility under this Section 30 for any contamination or Environmental Claim if Tenant proves by a preponderance of the evidence that such contamination or Environmental Claim arises from any Hazardous Materials brought into, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from the Premises by Landlord, its employees or contractors, or another tenant unrelated or unaffiliated with Tenant or that existed in the Premises as of the Commencement Date and were not brought into, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, treatment, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state or local Governmental Authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or ground water above, on, or under the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property caused or permitted by Tenant or any Tenant Party results in any contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense and in accordance with applicable Environmental Requirements as are necessary to return the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property to the condition existing prior to the time of such contamination, provided that Landlord’s approval of such action shall first be obtained, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises or the Project.

(b) Business. Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 30 to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use. Tenant may operate its business according to prudent industry practices so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored according to all then applicable Environmental Requirements. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence, use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of such Hazardous Materials on or from the Premises (“Hazardous Materials List”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List at least once a year and shall also deliver an updated list before any new Hazardous Material is brought onto, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (“Haz Mat Documents”) relating to the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials prior to the Commencement Date, or if unavailable at that time, concurrent with the receipt from or submission to a Governmental Authority: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans, notice of violations of any Legal Requirements;

plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion); all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks; and a Surrender Plan (to the extent surrender in accordance with Section 28 cannot be accomplished in 3 months). Tenant is not required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the Haz Mat Documents containing information of a proprietary nature that, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities. It is not the intent of this Section to provide Landlord with information that could be detrimental to Tenant’s business should such information become possessed by Tenant’s competitors.

(c) Tenant Representation and Warranty. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) neither Tenant nor any of its legal predecessors has been required by any prior landlord, lender, or Governmental Authority at any time to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property, which contamination was permitted by Tenant of such predecessor or resulted from Tenant’s or such predecessor’s action or use of the property in question, and (ii) Tenant is not subject to any enforcement order issued by any Governmental Authority in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any Governmental Authority). If Landlord determines that this representation and warranty was not true as of the date of this lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

(d) Testing. Landlord shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to conduct annual tests of the Premises to determine whether any contamination of the Premises or the Project has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use. Tenant shall be required to pay the cost of such annual test of the Premises; provided, however, that if Tenant conducts its own tests of the Premises using third party contractors and test procedures acceptable to Landlord, which tests are certified to Landlord, Landlord shall accept such tests in lieu of the annual tests to be paid for by Tenant. In addition, at any time, and from time to time, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of the Premises and the Project to determine if contamination has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. In connection with such testing, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such non-proprietary information concerning the use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party. If contamination has occurred for which Tenant is liable under this Section 30, Tenant shall pay all costs to conduct such tests. If no such contamination is found, Landlord shall pay the costs of such tests (which shall not constitute an Operating Expense). Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of all third party, non-confidential reports and tests of the Premises made by or on behalf of Landlord during the Term without representation or warranty and subject to a confidentiality agreement. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and satisfactorily remediate any environmental conditions identified by such testing in accordance with all Environmental Requirements. Landlord’s receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord may have against Tenant. Landlord’s right to perform such tests pursuant to this Section 30 shall be performed in accordance with the access restrictions set forth in Section 32 below.

(e) Underground Tanks. Under no circumstances whatsoever will Tenant have the right to install any underground storage tank on or about the Premises or the Project. If underground or other storage tanks storing Hazardous Materials located on the Premises or the Project and installed before the Commencement Date are used by Tenant, Tenant shall install, use, monitor, operate, maintain, upgrade and manage such storage tanks, maintain appropriate records, obtain and maintain appropriate insurance, implement reporting procedures, property close any underground storage tanks if required by applicable Legal Requirements, and take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary or required under applicable state and federal Legal Requirements, as such now exists or may hereafter be adopted

or amended in connection with the installation, use, maintenance, management, operation, upgrading and closure of such storage tanks.

(f) Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 30 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for the applicable statute of limitations period under federal, state, or local Legal Requirement. During any period of time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease required by Tenant or Landlord to complete the removal from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, the release and termination of any licenses or permits restricting the use of the Premises and the completion of the approved Surrender Plan), Tenant shall continue to pay the full Rent in accordance with this Lease for any portion of the Premises not relet by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion, which Rent shall be prorated daily.

(g) Definitions. As used herein, (I) the term “Environmental Requirements” means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any Governmental Authority regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the Project, or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder, and (ii) the term “Hazardous Materials” means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, or regulated by reason of its impact or potential impact on humans, animals and/or the environment under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the “operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner” of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom.

31. Tenant’s Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). Upon any default by Landlord, Tenant shall give notice by registered or certified mail to any Holder of a Mortgage covering the Premises and to any landlord of any lease of property in or on which the Premises are located and Tenant shall offer such Holder and/or landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Project by power of sale or a judicial action if such should prove necessary to effect a cure; provided Landlord shall have furnished to Tenant in writing the names and addresses of all such persons who are to receive such notices. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, offset any Rent, or make repairs at Landlord’s expense. Except as provided in this Lease (including the limitations on Tenant’s remedies set forth in the preceding sentence), Tenant, at its option, without further notice or demand to Landlord, shall have all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity upon an uncured Landlord default.

All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term “Landlord” in this Lease shall mean only the owner for the time being of the Premises. Upon the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership.

32. Inspection and Access. Landlord acknowledges Tenant’s obligation to: (I) follow governmental regulations for the security of controlled substances; (ii) comply with regulations and

guidelines related to Tenant’s Permitted Use; (iii) safeguard confidential information, trade secrets, products, and processes; and (iv) maintain environmental safety standards. Accordingly, Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises after providing Tenant with no less than 7 days advance notice of Landlord’s intention to access the Premises that, in any case, will be restricted in scope and require a Tenant supervised escort; provided, however, that such 7 day advance notice shall not be required and Landlord may thus enter the Premises at any time, subject to the requirements set forth herein, (x) in the case of emergencies, (y) to prevent a material default by Landlord under another tenant lease or other agreement affecting or encumbering all or any part of the Project, or (z) to protect the Project (collectively, “Emergency Access Right”), provided that any emergency entry by Landlord shall be at its sole risk and Tenant shall not be liable for injury or damage to Landlord as a result of any unsupervised entry. Such supervised escort (a) shall not be required for Landlord’s exercise of any Emergency Access Right, and (b) shall not materially and adversely affect Landlord’s access rights hereunder, which material and adverse effect includes, but is not limited to, delays in Landlord’s access caused by the unavailability of such escort. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, prior to Landlord’s exercise of any Emergency Access Right, Landlord agrees to (I) provide telephonic notice to Tenant on Tenant’s 24 hour hotline number, which number (and any changes thereto) Tenant shall provide to Landlord during the Term, and (II) follow Tenant’s reasonable operating procedures and policies (as described in further detail in this Section) for the security of any controlled substances located in the Premises. Landlord acknowledges that any unsupervised entry into the Premises by Landlord that involves access to any controlled substances located therein will sound an emergency alarm installed by Tenant and will be subject to a response from the local police department. Landlord and its representatives may enter the Premises pursuant to the exercise of any Emergency Access Right or for the purpose of effecting any repairs as may be required or permitted pursuant to this Lease, inspecting the Premises, showing the Premises to prospective purchasers and, during the last 9 months of the Term, to prospective tenants, or for any other business purpose. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Premises stating the Premises are available to let (but only during the last 9 months of the Term) or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate Common Areas and create restrictions on or about the Premises, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation or restriction materially, adversely affects Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be necessary for such easements, dedications or restrictions. Landlord’s access to the Premises under this Section shall be in accordance with reasonable operating procedures and policies adopted by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s business operations and the Permitted Use, but only to the extent such policies and procedures are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Lease and do not interfere with Landlord’s rights under this Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any such procedures and policies.

33. Security. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that security devices and services, if any, while intended to deter crime may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts and that Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to the Premises. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the personal safety of Tenant’s officers, employees, agents, contractors, guests and invitees while any such person is in, on or about the Premises and/or the Project. Tenant shall at Tenant’s cost obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts.

34. Force Majeure.

Landlord shall thereafter, for a period of up to 20 days, negotiate in good faith with Tenant for Tenant’s lease of such space on such terms as shall be acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (“Negotiation Right”). For purposes of this Section 39(a), “Available Space” shall mean Suite 206 shown on Exhibit A attached hereto that is not occupied by a tenant or that is occupied by an existing tenant whose lease is expiring within 6 months or less and such tenant does not wish to renew (regardless of whether such tenant has a right to renew) its occupancy of such space.

(b) Amended Lease. If after the expiration of such 20 day period, no lease amendment or lease agreement for the Available Space has been executed, the Negotiation Right shall be waived and of no further force or effect with respect to the Available Space; provided, however, that if the Available Space becomes available for leasing later during the Term, Tenant shall have the Negotiation Right set forth in Section 39(a) above with respect to the Available Space, but the Negotiation Right shall automatically cease and terminate and be of no further force or effect after Landlord has invoked the Negotiation Right on 2 separate occasions and Landlord and Tenant have not executed and delivered an amendment to this Lease is connection with the Negotiation Right so invoked on those two occasions.

(c) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the Negotiation Right shall not be in effect and may not be exercised by Tenant: (i) during any period of time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of this Lease; or (ii) if Tenant has been in Default under any provision of this Lease 3 or more times, regardless of whether the Defaults are cured, during the 12 month period prior to the date on which Tenant seeks to exercise the Negotiation Right.

(d) Termination. The Negotiation Right shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Negotiation Right, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the lease of such Available Space, (i) Tenant fails to timely cure any default

by Tenant under this Lease; or (ii) Tenant has Defaulted 3 or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of the Negotiation Right to the date of the commencement of the lease of the Available Space, regardless of whether such Defaults are cured.

(e) Right Personal. The Negotiation Right is personal to Tenant and is not assignable without Landlord’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, except that the Negotiation Right may be assigned in connection with any Permitted Assignment of this Lease.

(f) No Extensions. The period of time within which any Negotiation Rights may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Negotiation Rights.

40. Right to Extend Term. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of this Lease upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) Extension Rights. Tenant shall have 2 consecutive rights (each, an “Extension Right”) to extend the term of this Lease for 5 years each (each, an “Extension Term”) on the same terms and conditions as this Lease (other than Base Rent) by giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise each Extension Right at least 9 months prior, and no earlier than 12 months prior, to the expiration of the Base Term of this Lease or the expiration of the prior Extension Term.

(b) Base Rent. Base Rent shall be adjusted on the commencement date of such Extension Term and on each anniversary of the commencement of such Extension Term by multiplying the Base Rent payable immediately before such adjustment by the Rent Adjustment Percentage and adding the resulting amount to the Base Rent payable immediately before such adjustment.

(c) Rights Personal. Extension Rights are personal to Tenant and are not assignable without Landlord’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, except that the Extension Right may be assigned in connection with any Permitted Assignment of this Lease.

(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, Extension Rights shall not be in effect and Tenant may not exercise any of the Extension Rights: (i) during any period of time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of this Lease; or (ii) if Tenant has been in Default under any provision of this Lease 3 or more times, regardless of whether the Defaults are cured, during the 12 month period immediately prior to the date that Tenant intends to exercise an Extension Right, regardless of whether the Defaults are cured.

(e) No Extensions. The period of time within which any Extension Rights may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Extension Rights.

(f) Termination. The Extension Rights shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of an Extension Right, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of an Extension Term, (i) Tenant fails to timely cure any default by Tenant under this Lease; or (ii) Tenant has Defaulted 3 or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of an Extension Right to the date of the commencement of the Extension Term, regardless of whether such Defaults are cured.

41. Miscellaneous.

delivered in person, or upon actual receipt if delivered by reputable overnight guaranty courier, addressed and sent to the parties at their addresses set forth above. Landlord and Tenant may from time to time by written notice to the other designate another address for receipt of future notices.

(c) Recordation. Neither this Lease nor a memorandum of lease shall be filed by or on behalf of Tenant or Landlord in any public record.

(d) Interpretation. The normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Lease or any exhibits or amendments hereto. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way affect the interpretation of this Lease.

(e) Not Binding Until Executed. The submission by Landlord to Tenant of this Lease shall have no binding force or effect, shall not constitute an option for the leasing of the Premises, nor confer any right or impose any obligations upon either party until execution of this Lease by both parties.

(f) Limitations on Interest. It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease. If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is Landlord’s and Tenant’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.

(g) Choice of Law. Construction and interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the internal laws of the state in which the Premises are located, excluding any principles of conflicts of laws.

(j) Incorporation by Reference. All exhibits and addenda attached hereto are hereby incorporated into this Lease and made a part hereof. if there is any conflict between such exhibits or addenda and the terms of this Lease, such exhibits or addenda shall control.

(k) No Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Base Rent or any Additional Rent will be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Base Rent and Additional Rent, nor will any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent be an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.

(l) Non-Disclosure of Terms. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of such terms could adversely affect the ability of Landlord and its affiliates to negotiate, manage, and administer other leases and impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, as a material inducement for Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant, and behalf of itself and its partners, managers, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys, agrees that it shall not intentionally and voluntarily (a) disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any publication or other media or any tenant or apparent prospective tenant of the Building or other portion of the Project, or real estate agent or broker, either directly or indirectly, or (b) post or place on any website or other form of media, directly or indirectly, any of the terms and conditions of this Lease or opine or critique Landlord’s management ownership abilities and skills.

(m) Hazardous Activities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord, for itself and its employees, agents and contractors, reserves the right to refuse to perform any repairs or services in any portion of the Premises that, pursuant to Tenant’s routine safety guidelines, practices or custom or prudent industry practices, require any form of protective clothing or equipment other than safety glasses. In any such case, Tenant shall contract with parties who are acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, for all such repairs and services, and Landlord shall, to the extent required, equitably adjust Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in respect of such repairs or services to reflect that Landlord is not providing such repairs or services to Tenant.

GUARANTY OF LEASE

GUARANTY OF LEASE

THIS GUARANTY OF LEASE (“Guaranty”) is made as of August , 2014, by LUPIN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Virginia corporation (“Guarantor), in favor of ARE-8000/9000/10000 XXXXXXXX XXXXX, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), in connection with that certain Lease Agreement dated of even date herewith (“Lease”) pursuant to which Landlord leases to Lupin, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Tenant”), the premises located at Suites 200 and 201, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (“Premises”). Any initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Lease. Guarantor has a material business interest in Tenant, and as a material inducement to and in consideration of Landlord’s entering into the Lease, Landlord having indicated that it would not enter into the Lease without the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, Guarantor does hereby agree with Landlord as follows:

1. Guarantor does hereby unconditionally guarantee, without deduction by reason of set off, defense, or counterclaim, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, and, subject to the provisions set forth in this Guaranty, promises to perform and be liable for any and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under the terms of the Lease, including without implied limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay such rents, charges, costs, and impositions as are set forth in the Lease. Guarantor further agrees to defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, or liability arising out of any Default by Tenant in the performance of any term, condition, or covenant of the Lease, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

2. Guarantor acknowledges that after any Default by Tenant in the performance of any term, condition, or covenant of the Lease, the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be primary and that, in the enforcement of its rights, Landlord shall be entitled to look to Guarantor for the performance of the obligations of Tenant that Guarantor has guaranteed, without first commencing any action or proceeding against Tenant, and likewise, enforcement of Landlord’s rights against Tenant shall not impair the right of Landlord to enforce this Guaranty, and any such action by Landlord shall not operate as a release of the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. The guaranteed obligations include both payment and performance. The obligations of Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts due pursuant to the Lease have been paid in full and all of Tenant’s obligations thereunder have been performed in full. Notwithstanding Landlord’s enforcement rights set forth herein, under no circumstances shall Landlord be entitled to recover for the same damage, claim, or loss more than once.

3. If Tenant shall at any time Default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions in the Lease on Tenant’s part to be kept performed or observed, Guarantor, after Landlord’s written notice to Guarantor, will keep, perform, and observe same, as the case may be, in the place and stead of Tenant.

4. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be released by Landlord’s receipt, application, or release of any security given for the performance and observance of any covenant or condition in the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed, regardless of whether Guarantor consents thereto or receives notice thereof.

5. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected by (a) the release or discharge of Tenant in any creditor’s receivership, bankruptcy, or other proceeding; (b) the impairment, limitation, or modification of the liability of Tenant or the estate of Tenant in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of Tenant’s liability under the Lease resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the Bankruptcy Act or other statute or from the decision in any court; (c) the rejection of

the Lease in any such proceedings; (d) the assignment or transfer of the Lease by Tenant; (e) any disability or other defense of Tenant; (f) the cessation from any cause other than as provided under the Lease whatsoever of the liability of Tenant; (g) the exercise by Landlord of any of its rights or remedies reserved under the Lease or by law; or (h) any termination of the Lease, other than as provided under the Lease.

6. Guarantor agrees that none of its obligations and no right against Guarantor hereunder shall in any way be discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected by any extension of time for, or by any partial of complete waiver of the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, or by any other alteration, amendment, assignment, expansion, extension, or modification in or to the Lease, or by any release or waiver of any term, covenant, or condition of the Lease, or by any delay in the enforcement of any rights against Tenant, Guarantor, or any other person or entity under the Lease. Without limitation, Guarantor agrees that the Lease may be altered, amended, assigned, expanded, extended, or modified from time to time on such terms and provisions as may be satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, and, except as provided herein and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of any obligations guaranteed hereby or of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon, and notice of any Defaults of Tenant under the Lease and waives presentment, demand for payment or performance, protest, notice of dishonor, nonpayment or nonperformance of any such obligations, suit or taking of other action by Landlord against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon and waives suretyship defenses generally, other than full and timely payment and performance of all obligations hereby guaranteed, and Guarantor agrees to cause Tenant to preserve the enforceability of all instruments hereby guaranteed, as modified with Landlord’s consent, and to cause Tenant to refrain from any act or omission that might be the basis for a claim that Guarantor has any defense to Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, exclusive only of the defense that Tenant has fully and timely paid and performed all obligations hereby guaranteed. No invalidity, irregularity, or unenforceability of all or any part of such obligations or of any security therefor and no insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation proceeding, or dissolution affecting Tenant or Guarantor shall affect, impair, or be a defense to this Guaranty. The liability of Guarantor hereunder is primary and unconditional and shall not be subject to any offset, defense (other than the defense of full and timely payment and performance) or counterclaim of Guarantor. This is a continuing guaranty.

7. Guarantor represents that this Guaranty has been duly authorized and is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, and Guarantor further agrees that no invalidity of any term shall affect or impair Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty.

8. This Guaranty is intended to be fully effective in accordance with its terms notwithstanding any exculpatory provisions inconsistent herewith contained in the Lease.

9. Guarantor may be joined in any action against Tenant in connection with the obligations of Tenant under the Lease and recovery may be had against Guarantor in any such action.

10. Until all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease are fully performed, Guarantor: (a) shall have no right of subrogation against Tenant by reason of any payments or actions of performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty; and (b) subordinates any liability or indebtedness of Tenant now or hereafter held by Guarantor to the obligations of Tenant under, arising out of, or related to the Lease or Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises. Nothing contained herein shall operate as a release or discharge, in whole or in part, of any claim of Guarantor against Tenant by subrogation or otherwise, by reason of any act done or any payment made by Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty.

11. The liability of Guarantor and all rights, powers, and remedies of Landlord hereunder and under any other agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between Landlord and Guarantor relating to the Lease shall be cumulative and not alternative and such rights, powers, and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers, and remedies given to Landlord by law.

12. This Guaranty applies to, inures to the benefit of and binds all parties hereto, and their successors and assigns. This Guaranty may be assigned by Landlord voluntarily or by operation of law.

Guarantor may assign this Guaranty in connection with a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of Guarantor with any other entity if (a) the net worth (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) of the surviving entity/assignee is not less than the net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of Guarantor as of the date of this Guaranty, (b) such surviving entity/assignee shall agree in writing to assume all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Guaranty arising after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, or reorganization, and (c) such merger, consolidation, or reorganization is not principally for the purpose of transferring this Guaranty. Guarantor shall provide prompt written notice to Landlord of such assignment along with reasonable evidence confirming that the conditions set forth in clauses (a), (b), and (c) of this paragraph have been satisfied in full.

13. Within 20 days after written request from Landlord (which request shall not exceed 2 times per calendar year), Guarantor shall provide its most recent annual financial statements to Landlord. The financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and shall be true and correct in all material respects.

14. If claim is ever made upon Landlord for repayment of any amount or amounts received by Landlord in payment of the guaranteed obligations under the Lease and Landlord repays all or any part of such amount, then, notwithstanding any revocation or termination of this Guaranty or the termination of the Lease, Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Landlord for the amount so repaid.

15. This Guaranty shall constitute the entire agreement between Guarantor and Landlord with respect to the subject matter hereof. No provision of this Guaranty or right of Landlord hereunder may be waived nor may any guarantor be released from any obligation hereunder except by a writing duly executed and delivered by an authorized officer of Landlord.

16. When the context and construction so requires, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural. The word “person” as used herein shall include an individual, company, firm, association, partnership, corporation, trust, or other legal entity of any kind whatsoever.

17. Should any one or more provisions of this Guaranty be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions shall nevertheless be effective.

18. Guarantor represents that the person signing below is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Guaranty on behalf of Guarantor and to bind Guarantor hereby.

19. The waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Guaranty shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach of such provision or any other provisions hereof.

20. Guarantor shall pay, within 30 days of written demand from Landlord, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs in connection with or arising out of any action or proceeding brought by Landlord to enforce, any obligation of Guarantor under this Guaranty but only if Landlord is adjudicated to be the prevailing party. Such expenses are recoverable at all levels, including appeals and post-judgment actions or proceedings.

21. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, regardless of conflicts of laws principles. Any claim, action, suit, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought only in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Maryland or any court of the State of Maryland, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding) and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding in any such court or that any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Subject to applicable law, process in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding may be served on any party

anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court, and such service shall be made by personal service made on such party or by mail sent to such party at the address set forth in Section 23 below above, Personal service may be made on such party’s resident agent.

22. The term “Landlord” whenever used herein refers to and means the Landlord in the Lease and also any successor or assignee of Landlord. The term “Tenant” whenever used herein refers to and means the Tenant in the Lease and also any successor or assignee of Tenant.

3. Changes to Basic Lease Provisions. Effective as of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, the following amendments are hereby made to the definitions contained on page 1 of the Lease in the Basic Lease Provisions:

The date on which Landlord Delivers the Expansion Premises to Tenant is referred to as the “Expansion Premises Commencement Date.” Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgement of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date when the same is established in a form substantially similar to the form of “Acknowledgment of Commencement Date” attached as Exhibit D to the Lease; provided, however, that Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such Acknowledgement shall not affect Landlord’s rights under this First Amendment.

If current Tenant fails to vacate the Expansion Premises by October 31, 2015, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this First Amendment by sending written notice thereof to Landlord no later than November 20, 2015 (but if the Current Tenant vacates the Expansion Premises before Landlord receives such termination notice, such termination notice shall be void and of no effect) whereupon neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this First Amendment and this First Amendment shall automatically terminate. Within 10 days after written request from Landlord or Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver a statement in force and substance reasonably acceptable to them confirming that the Contingency has been satisfied. Tenant understands, acknowledges, and agrees that Landlord makes no guaranty, representation, or assurance that Current Tenant will vacate the Expansion Premises by October 31, 2015. If Tenant does not elect to so terminate this First Amendment, such right to terminate this First Amendment shall be waived and this First Amendment shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall be obligated to deliver the Expansion Premises to Tenant as such time as Tenant vacates the Expansion Premises, Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date (“Expansion Premises Notice”).

8. Miscellaneous.

a. Entire Agreement. This First Amendment is the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral and written agreements and discussions. This First Amendment may be amended only by an agreement In writing, signed by the parties hereto.

b. Binding Effect. This First Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective agents, employees, members, representatives, officers, directors, divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, heirs, successors in interest and shareholders.

c. Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The signature page of any counterpart may be detached therefrom without impairing the legal effect of the signature(s) thereon provided such signature page is attached to any other counterpart identical thereto except having additional signature pages executed by other parties to this First Amendment attached thereto.

d. Broker. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker; agent or other person (collectively, “Broker”) in connection with this transaction and that no Broker brought about this transaction. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any claims by any Broker claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, with regard to this leasing transaction.

e. Ratification; Conflicts. Except as amended and/or modified by this First Amendment, the Lease Is hereby ratified and confirmed and all other terms of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, unaltered and unchanged by this First Amendment. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this First Amendment and the provisions of the Lease, the provisions of this First Amendment shall prevail. Regardless of whether specifically amended by this First Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease are hereby amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the purpose and intent of this First Amendment.

f. Non-Disclosure of Terms. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of the Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of such terms could adversely affect the ability of Landlord and its affiliates to negotiate, manage, and administer other leases and impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, as a material inducement for Landlord to enter into this. First Amendment, Tenant, and behalf of itself and its partners, managers, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys, agrees that it shall not intentionally and voluntarily disclose the terms and conditions of the Lease to any publication or other media or any tenant or apparent prospective tenant of the Building or other portion of the Project, or real estate agent or broker, either directly or indirectly.
