The rentals under this paragraph 3 shall be payable in advance, without demand, deduction or set off. All rentals and other sums payable as additional rental hereunder shall be paid to Landlord at 1300 Penn Avenue, P.O. Box 768, Pittsburgh, PA 15230-0768 or at such other place or to such other person as may be designated by Landlord in writing.
4. Paragraph 5 of the Second Amendment to Agreement of Lease dated October 18, 2000, is hereby deleted in its entirety.
5. RENEWAL OPTION: Tenant shall have the right and option to extend the Second Extended Term of the Lease for the Leased Premises, excluding the Building #3 Space, for two additional terms of five (5) years (each an “Additional Renewal Term”) to commence immediately following the expiration of the Second Extended Term, or first Additional Renewal Term, whichever is applicable. Tenant may exercise the right to extend the term of the Lease for an Additional Renewal Term only by delivering to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s exercise of such right no less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration date of the Second Extended Term or the first Additional Renewal Term, if applicable, time being of the essence. The terms and conditions of the Lease shall continue in full force and effect for each Additional Renewal Term except that the monthly rental for each Additional Renewal Term shall be calculated pursuant to the following formula:
The monthly rental for the Additional Renewal Term for which this calculation is made shall equal $31,997.49 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the CPI in effect on the expiration of the Second Extended Term or the first Additional Renewal Term, whichever is applicable, and the denominator of which is the CPI in effect for June 2011.
Notwithstanding the result of the above calculation, the monthly rental for each applicable Additional Renewal Term shall not be less that the monthly rental in effect for the preceding term.
The CPI, as referred to herein, means the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers 1984=100 relating to the United States City Average, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, or any successor to the function thereof. In the event of the conversion of the CPI to a different standard reference base or any other revision thereof, the determination hereunder shall be made with the use of such Bureau of Labor Statistics or successor to the functions thereof or in the absence of the publication of such conversion factor, such formula or table as the parties shall mutually designate.
As a condition precedent to the commencement of the first Additional Renewal Term, or the second Additional Renewal Term, whichever is applicable, Tenant shall not be in default of the Lease, and Haemonetics Corporation, itself or its affiliate, shall be in full possession of the Leased Premises continually during the Second Extended Term
3

and at the commencement of the first Additional Renewal Term, or during the first Additional Renewal Term, and at the commencement of the Second Additional Renewal Term, whichever is applicable. If the conditions precedent are not met, Landlord may, at its option, terminate the Lease as of the last day of the Second Extended Term or first Additional Term, whichever is applicable, of the Lease.
6. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE: As an inducement for Tenant entering into the Second Extended Term and the faithful performance of its obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall, provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder, pay to Tenant a Tenant Improvement Allowance in the amount of $82,000.00 to be used to offset the cost of tenant improvements to the Leased Premises. Landlord shall pay to Tenant the Tenant Improvement Allowance within twenty (20) days after receipt of proper documentation of the cost of the completed tenant improvements. Any amount of Tenant Improvement Allowance not used by Tenant shall be retained by Landlord and shall be used to offset rental.
7. TENANT’S WORK: Tenant shall have the right at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to make certain improvements as shown on Exhibit B-5 attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Tenant’s Work”) to the Leased Premises and to the Building 18
Expansion Space. Tenant’s Work shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner. All contracts for Tenant’s Work shall require signed releases against mechanics liens upon payment in full for such Tenant’s Work.
If Tenant’s Work is constructed by persons other than Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall cause its contractors to provide Landlord with evidence of commercial general liability insurance at the limits set forth in section 8 of the Agreement of Lease and shall name Landlord as additional insured and shall provide Landlord with evidence of Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability insurance. Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord from all expense, liens, claims, damages or injuries to either persons or property arising out of, or resulting from the making of Tenant’s Work. Tenant’s Work shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in section 5 of the Agreement of Lease dated July 17, 1990.
8. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER: During the Second Extended Term only, Landlord, before offering any vacant space in Building #19/19A for rent to any third party, shall first offer same to Tenant for lease upon terms and conditions Landlord is willing to accept. Tenant shall have the right within fifteen (15) business days of the notice of such written offer to accept or reject such offer, which acceptance or rejection shall be in writing. If Tenant rejects such offer, does not accept the offer or fails to respond to said offer within said fifteen (15) day period, Landlord may offer such space for rent to third parties, and Landlord shall have no further obligation to offer such space to Tenant.
9. RENOVATIONS AND REPAIRS: Landlord shall use Landlord’s best efforts to substantially complete within a commercially reasonable period of time following execution of this Fifth Amendment to Agreement of Lease, and at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, the following renovations and repairs: (i) milling, repaving, and re-striping the existing parking lot; and (ii) inspecting, repairing and/or replacing the unit
4

heaters in the warehouse portion of Buildings 18 and 18A of the Leased Premises (the “Renovations and Repairs”).
The parties acknowledge and understand that Landlord will be performing the Renovations and Repairs in the Leased Premises during the time Tenant occupies the Leased Premises. Landlord and Tenant shall each take reasonable steps to protect Tenant’s property from loss or damage during the time the Renovations and Repairs are being performed and the parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another so that Landlord may complete the Renovations and Repairs with all due dispatch while minimizing interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business operations.
10. BROKER: Except as provided below, Landlord and Tenant each hereby warrants to the other that no real estate broker has been involved in this transaction on its behalf and that no finder’s fees, referral fees, or real estate commissions have been earned by any third party. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord and Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify Tenant for any liability or claims for commissions or fees arising from a breach of this warranty by it.
