#

# 3. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

#

## (a) Office Space:

##

### (i) With respect to the Office Space, Landlord shall construct, or cause to be constructed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to the Landlord’s Maximum Tl Contribution (as hereinafter defined)), in a good and workmanlike manner, certain improvements to the Office Space as provided for in the Tenant’s Plans (as hereinafter defined). The work described in the Tenant’s Plans is hereinafter referred to as the “Tenant Improvements”. Except for the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any improvements to the Office Space to prepare the same for Tenant’s occupancy, and Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected the Office Space and accepts the same in its “AS IS” condition, without any representation or warranty by Landlord, express or implied; provided, however, that Tenant assumes no responsibility in respect to latent defects in the Office Space for a period of one (1) year after the Commencement Date, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such defects, or for defects caused during the Term of this Lease by the negligence or misconduct of Landlord, its employees and agents. The responsibility for correcting such defects resides in Landlord.

###

### (ii) Landlord and Tenant have attached hereto the initial plans (the “Initial Plans”) for the Tenant Improvements, consisting of that portion of the space plan attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (the “Space Plan”) as is applicable to the Office Space and the construction standards attached hereto as Exhibit “B-1” (the “Construction Standards”). On or before the Construction Information Submission Date, Tenant shall submit sufficient information, including, without limitation, Tenant’s finish selections, mechanical loads, electrical loads and locations, furniture plans and special lighting and use requirements, if any (collectively, the “Construction Information”), to, and as required by, Blackney Hayes Architects (the “Architect”) to enable the Architect to prepare and deliver to Tenant in sufficient time for Tenant to deliver to Landlord, on or before the Tenant-Approved Drawings Submission Date, complete construction and permit drawings for the Tenant Improvements (collectively, the “Construction Drawings”) which have been approved by Tenant. The Construction Drawings shall: (i) strictly conform to the Initial Plans; (ii) include all information and specifications necessary for Landlord to complete the Tenant Improvements and to obtain all required permits and approvals therefor; and (iii) strictly conform to all applicable laws and requirements of governmental authorities and insurance underwriters’ requirements. Within two (2) business days after Tenant’s approval of the Construction Drawings, Tenant shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that the Construction Drawings meet the foregoing

4

### requirements. If Landlord disapproves the Construction Drawings, (including, without limitation, for failure of the Construction Drawings to strictly conform to the Initial Plans) or if the Construction Drawings are disapproved by any applicable governmental authority, Tenant shall cause the Architect to promptly make any changes in the Construction Drawings reasonably required by Landlord and/or such governmental authority, as the case may be. Tenant acknowledges that the Estimated Delivery Date is conditioned upon Landlord and all applicable governmental authorities approving the Construction Drawings on or before the Outside Approval Date.

###

### (iii) The Initial Plans and the Construction Drawings, as finally approved by Landlord and all applicable governmental authorities pursuant to subparagraph (b) above, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Tenant’s Plans.” All work described in the Tenant’s Plans shall be furnished, installed and performed by Landlord, utilizing a general contractor selected by Landlord, for the Total TI Costs (as hereinafter defined), which Total Tl Costs shall be paid by Tenant (subject to the Landlord’s Maximum TI Contribution) as provided herein. The “Total TI Costs” shall mean all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the completion of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation: (i) Landlord’s out-of-pocket contract or purchase price(s) for materials, components, labor and services, plus (ii) Landlord’s architects’ and engineers’ fees and costs, plus (iii) fees for all required permits and approvals, plus (iv) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the foregoing items as Landlord’s construction management fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the final Construction Drawings, as finally approved by Landlord and all applicable governmental authorities, contain any work which was not included in, or otherwise exceeds the scope of, the Initial Plans, then the same shall constitute a change order requested by Tenant (a “Tenant Change Order”) and shall be governed by the provisions of subparagraph (d) below relating to Tenant Change Orders.

###

### (iv) In constructing the Tenant Improvements, Landlord reserves the right to: (1) make substitutions of material of equivalent grade and quality when and if any specified material shall not be readily and reasonably available, and (ii) make changes necessitated by conditions met during the course of construction; provided, however, that Tenant’s approval of any such change (and any reduction of or increased cost incident thereto) shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant Change Orders shall not be permitted without the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. If Landlord approves any Tenant Change Order then any increase in the cost of constructing the Tenant Improvements resulting from such Tenant Change Order shall be added to the Total TI Costs. As a condition to Landlord’s approval of any Tenant Change Order, Landlord may require that, prior to Landlord’s commencement of any work related to such Tenant Change Order, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of the amount estimated by Landlord to become due to Landlord from Tenant with respect to such Tenant Change Order, which prepaid amount shall be applied against the last of the costs incurred by Landlord with respect to such Tenant Change Order.

###

### (v) Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant, and Tenant shall inspect the Office Space with Landlord within three (3) business days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice. Upon completion of the inspection, it shall be presumed that all work theretofore performed by or on behalf of Landlord was satisfactorily performed in accordance with, and meeting the requirements of this Lease,

5

### excepting, however: (i) required work not actually completed by Landlord and which is identified at the time of the inspection on a list prepared by the construction representatives of Landlord and Tenant, or (ii) to latent defects in such work which could not reasonably have been discovered at the time of the inspection provided that Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such defects within one (1) year after the Commencement Date.

###

### (vi) The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed to be “Substantially Completed” when: (i) the work shown on the Tenant’s Plans has been completed except for minor or insubstantial details of construction, mechanical adjustments, or finishing touches like plastering or painting, which items shall not adversely affect Tenant’s conduct of its ordinary business activities in the Office Space, and (ii) if required under the applicable code or ordinance of the municipality in which the Building is located, the municipality has issued a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy (or similar certificate) or has otherwise approved the work completed as part of the Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements is delayed, in whole or in part, by Tenant for any reason (a “Tenant Delay”), including, without limitation, the reasons set forth in subparagraphs (aa) through (dd) below, then Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder shall not be affected or deferred on account of such delay and, for purposes of establishing the Commencement Date hereunder, the “Office Space Delivery Date” shall be deemed to occur on the date the Office Space would have been Substantially Completed absent Tenant Delay:

###

(aa) Tenant’s failure to: (1) deliver Tenant’s Construction Information on or before the Construction Information Submission Date; (2) submit to Landlord, on or prior to the Tenant Approved Drawings Submission Date, Construction Drawings approved by Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant shall be afforded not fewer than ten (10) days to review Construction Drawings before any delay in submitting same to Landlord shall constitute Tenant Delay; or (3) promptly make changes in the Construction Drawings reasonably required by Landlord or any applicable governmental authority in connection with the approval thereof.

(bb) Tenant Change Order(s) provided that Landlord, upon each receipt of a request for a Change Order, furnished Tenant with a notice setting forth Landlord’s good faith estimate of the anticipated delay attributable to such Change Order and a reasonable opportunity for the Tenant to rescind its request for such Change Order; or

(cc) delays, not caused by Landlord, in furnishing special items which are not readily available (“Long Lead Items”) or procuring specialized labor required for installation of Long Lead Items, provided that Tenant shall be notified of Landlord’s good faith estimate of the anticipated delay promptly after discovery thereof by Landlord, and shall be given an opportunity to specify alternative materials or requirements which are readily available; or

(dd) the performance of any work or activity in the Office Space by Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors (including, without limitation, the installation of Tenant’s furniture, cabling or equipment). Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant specifically acknowledges that the municipality’s issuance of a certificate of occupancy (or similar certificate) may be conditioned upon Tenant’s installation of its furniture, cabling or equipment or the completion of any other work or activity in the Office Space by Tenant or any

6

of its employees, agents or contractors. In such event, if the municipal authority will not issue a certificate of occupancy (or similar certificate) or schedule an inspection of the Office Space due to Tenant’s failure to install such furniture, cabling or equipment or failure to complete such other work or activity, then the same shall constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder; provided, however, that in such case the reasonable time required to install same shall not constitute Tenant Delay.

### (vii) Provided that Tenant is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall contribute up to a maximum amount of eighteen dollars ($18.00) per rentable square foot of the Office Space (the “Landlord’s Maximum TI Contribution”) to be applied solely against the Total TI Costs. In the event that the Total TI Costs exceed the amount of the Landlord’s Maximum TI Contribution, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such excess from time to time during the progress of the work within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice(s) therefor; provided, however, that Landlord may require that, before Landlord commences any work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the amount estimated by Landlord to become due to Landlord therefor, which fifty percent (50%) shall be applied against the last of the Tenant Improvements to be paid for by Tenant to Landlord. Following payment of the final invoice, the Total TI Costs shall be subject to examination by Tenant, and Tenant shall have reasonable access to Landlord’s cost records relative thereto. In the event that the Total TI Costs are less than the Landlord’s Maximum TI Contribution, Landlord shall be entitled to the benefit of the savings and Tenant shall not be entitled to any refund or credit against the Rent payable hereunder.

###

## (b) Lab Space:

##

### (i) With respect to the Lab Space, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any improvements to the Lab Space to prepare the same for Tenant’s occupancy, and Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected the Lab Space and accepts the same in its “AS IS” condition, without any representation or warranty by Landlord, express or implied; provided, however, that Tenant assumes no responsibility in respect to latent defects in the Lab Space for a period of one (1) year after the Commencement Date, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such defects, or for defects caused during the Term of this Lease by the negligence or misconduct of Landlord, its employees and agents. The responsibility for correcting such defects resides in Landlord.

###

### (ii) Tenant shall perform, at its sole cost and expense, all work which Tenant deems necessary or desirable to prepare the Lab Space for Tenant’s initial occupancy (collectively, the “Lessee Improvements”), which Lessee Improvements shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. All work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable laws. Prior to the commencement of any work within the Lab Space, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, proposed plans and specifications (the “Proposed Lessee’s Plans”) for the Lessee Improvements, which Proposed Lessee’s Plans shall be prepared by a registered architect and engineer licensed to do business within the State in which the Property is located. The Proposed Lessee’s Plans shall include all information and specifications reasonably necessary for Landlord to fully review the work described therein and shall conform to all applicable laws and requirements of public authorities

7

### and insurance underwriters’ requirements. If Landlord disapproves the Proposed Lessee’s Plans, Landlord shall state specifically the reasons for such disapproval, and Tenant shall cause its architect and/or engineer to promptly make any changes in the Proposed Lessee’s Plans reasonably required by Landlord. The Proposed Lessee’s Plans, as finally approved by Landlord, are hereinafter referred to as the “Lessee’s Plans”.

###

### (iii) All subsequent changes in the Lessee’s Plans shall be subject to the approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Landlord approves any change in the Lessee’s Plans, Tenant shall construct, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, the Lessee Improvements in accordance with such change.

###

### (iv) Landlord shall have the right to inspect Tenant’s construction of the Lessee Improvements to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Section. Landlord shall be entitled to receive a construction supervision fee equal to five percent (5%) of Tenant’s Costs.

###

### (v) During the period commencing on the Lab Space Delivery Date and expiring on the day immediately preceding the Commencement Date (the “Construction Period”), all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease with respect to the Lab Space shall apply except for Tenant’s obligation to pay the Annual Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges that Tenant shall be responsible for all utilities consumed within the Lab Space during the Construction Period.

###

### (vi) All contractors utilized by Tenant for the performance of the Lessee Improvements shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord. Tenant shall submit the names of the Tenant’s proposed contractors to Landlord for Landlord’s prior approval at least five (5) business days prior to the initial entry into the Building or the Lab Space by Tenant’s contractors. In addition, prior to the initial entry into the Building or the Lab Space by Tenant and by each of Tenant’s contractors, Tenant shall furnish Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, with policies of insurance covering Landlord, the Property Manager and their respective agents and employees, with such coverages and in such amounts as Landlord may then reasonably require in order to insure Landlord, its beneficiaries or agents against loss or liability for injury or death or damage to property arising out of or related to the construction of the Lessee Improvements. Tenant agrees that Tenant and Tenant’s Contractors and their activities in the Building and Lab Space or otherwise relating to the construction of the Lessee Improvements will not [interfere with or delay the completion of the Base Building Work to be performed by Landlord and will not] interfere with any activities of Landlord and the tenants and other occupants of the Building.

###

### (vii) Following the execution of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant’s submission of the Proposed Lessee’s Plans and the estimated costs of the Lessee Improvements, provided that Tenant is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall from time to time during the progress of the Lessee Improvements pay to Tenant the costs of the Lessee Improvements, in cash, within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s invoice(s) therefor; provided, however, that such payments shall not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the product of Eighteen Dollars ($18.00) and the total rentable square footage of the Lab Space (the “Lessor’s Maximum Tl Contribution”). In the event that the costs of the Lessee Improvements exceed the amount of the Lessor’s Maximum TI

8

### Contribution, Tenant shall be solely responsible for such excess. Following payment of the final invoice, the costs of the Lessee Improvements shall be subject to examination by Landlord, and Landlord shall have reasonable access to Tenant’s cost records relative thereto.

###

# 4. DELAY IN POSSESSION. Landlord currently anticipates that the Office Space Delivery Date will occur on or about the Estimated Delivery Date. If the Office Space Delivery Date has not occurred by the Estimated Delivery Date because of the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant or occupant, or if any repairs or improvements to the Demised Premises are not completed, or for any other reason, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability to Tenant. Under such circumstances (but subject to the provisions herein relating to Tenant Delay), the Rent reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence until the Commencement Date, and no such failure to deliver possession shall in any other respect affect the validity of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Commencement Date for the Office Space does not occur by the date which is thirty (30) days after the Estimated Delivery Date (other than on account of a Tenant Delay), then Tenant shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to a rent credit equal to one day’s Base Rent (net of Operating Expenses) for each day that the Commencement Date is delayed beyond such thirtieth (30th) day after the Estimated Delivery Date; provided, however, in no event shall such credit exceed One Hundred and Twenty (120) days’ free Base Rent (net of Operating Expenses) in the aggregate. In the event that the Commencement Date has not occurred by the date which is One Hundred and Twenty (120) days after the Estimated Delivery Date (other than on account of a Tenant Delay), then Tenant shall thereafter have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering fifteen (15) days’ written notice thereof to Landlord at any time prior to the Commencement Date; provided, however, that if the Commencement Date shall occur within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s termination notice, then Tenant’s termination notice shall be null and void and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

#

# 5. RENT.

#

## (a) During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Annual Base Rent in the amounts set forth in Section 1 (Fundamental Lease Provisions) above. Such Annual Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month.

##

## (b) The term “Rent” as used in this Lease shall mean the Annual Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined), utilities and all other additional rent or other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. All Rent other than the Annual Base Rent is referred to herein as “Additional Rent.”

##

## (c) The first installment of Rent shall be payable on the Commencement Date. If the Term begins on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Rent from such day until the first day of the following calendar month shall be prorated on a per diem basis for each day of such partial month.

##

## (d) All Rent and other sums due to Landlord hereunder shall be payable to Landlord c/o Landlord’s Property Manager at the Rent Payment Address specified in Section 1 (Fundamental Lease Provisions), or to such other party or at such other address as Landlord may designate, from time to time, by written notice to Tenant, without demand and without

9

## deduction, set-off or counterclaim (except to the extent demand or notice shall be expressly provided for herein).

##

## (e) If Landlord, at any time or times, shall accept said Rent due to it hereunder after the same shall become due and payable, such acceptance shall not excuse delay upon subsequent occasions, or constitute or be construed as, a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder.

##

# 6. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

#

## (a) As additional security for the full and prompt performance by Tenant of the terms and covenants of this Lease, Tenant has deposited (or shall deposit upon execution hereof by Tenant) with Landlord the Security Deposit, which shall not constitute Rent for any month (unless so applied by Landlord on account of Tenant’s default) or a measure of Tenant’s liability for damages. Upon a default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall have the right, without prejudice to any other remedy, to apply so much of the Security Deposit as is necessary to cure such default or pay any expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred as a result of such default. Tenant shall, upon demand, restore any portion of said Security Deposit applied by Landlord to the cure of any default by Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall place the Security Deposit in a segregated account, but without any liability to pay any interest thereon. To the extent that Landlord has not applied said sum on account of a default, the Security Deposit shall be returned (without interest) to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the latest to occur of: (a) the Expiration Date, (b) the payment by Tenant of any arrearages of Rent (including Additional Rent) then due, and (c) the date that Tenant surrenders possession of the Demised Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

##

## (b) In lieu of a security deposit, Tenant may establish and maintain an unconditional letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in favor of Landlord in an amount equal to the security deposit described above. The Letter of Credit shall: (i) be effective on the Commencement Date, (ii) be issued for a period of not less than one year, (iii) name Landlord as beneficiary, and (iv) be renewed for successive periods of not less than one year at each expiration date or replaced by another Letter of Credit with identical terms as the original Letter of Credit or by the Security Deposit described above. The Letter of Credit and any renewal Letter of Credit shall be drawn on PNC Bank or another bank or trust company satisfactory to Landlord, which has a location and may be drawn upon in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Upon a default by Tenant hereunder including but not limited to the failure to timely provide a renewal Letter of Credit to Landlord as provided below, Landlord shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit for payment and use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the proceeds thereof, to cure such default or pay any expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred as a result of such default. If Landlord shall so use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall upon demand by Landlord immediately deposit with Landlord a sum of cash equal to the amount used, applied or retained, as security as aforesaid or a Letter of Credit (in the form as set forth herein) in said amount, failing which Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as under this Lease for non-payment of Rent. In the event of any sale, transfer or leasing of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall have the right to automatically transfer either the Letter of Credit or any sums collected thereunder without the bank’s consent, together with any other unapplied sums held by Landlord as security and the interest thereon, if any, to which Tenant is entitled, to the

10

## vendee, transferee or lessee, and upon giving notice to Tenant of such fact and the name and address of the transferee, Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return or payment thereof, and Tenant shall look solely to the new owner for the return of payment of same. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease and the surrender of the Demised Premises by Tenant, the Letter of Credit shall automatically expire, provided that the Letter of Credit shall remain in full force and effect for a period of sixty (60) days following such surrender of possession and the Landlord may draw thereon in amounts sufficient to cover the costs of repairing any damage or replacing any damaged portion of the Demised Premises if Tenant fails to do so prior to its surrender of possession.

##

# 7. PAYMENT OF OPERATING EXPENSES.

#

## (a) Commencing with the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount (“Tenant’s Share” or “Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying Tenant’s Fraction by the amount by which Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) for such calendar year exceed the Base Year (appropriately prorated for any partial calendar year included within the beginning and end of the Term).

##

## (b) As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

##

### (i) “Operating Expenses” shall mean, except as expressly limited by subparagraph (ii) below, the expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in respect of the operation and management of the Property and shall include, without limitation: (1) labor costs, including wages, salaries and benefits and taxes imposed upon employers with respect to persons employed by Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent for rendering service in the operation, cleaning, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Property, whether paid directly by Landlord or reimbursed to contractors or other third parties; (2) costs for the operation, cleaning, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Property, including payments to contractors; (3) the cost of steam, electricity, gas, water and sewer and other utilities chargeable to the operation and maintenance of the Property; (4) cost of premiums and deductibles for insurance for the Property including fire and extended coverage, elevator, boiler, sprinkler leakage, water damage, public liability and property damage, environmental liability, plate glass, and rent protection; (5) supplies; (6) legal and accounting expenses; (7) Taxes (as hereinafter defined) and costs of obtaining any reductions thereof; provided, however, that for the purpose of calculating Operating Expenses, costs of obtaining reductions of Taxes shall not exceed the amount of the reduction achieved for the then remaining balance of the term of this Lease; (8) management fees and expenses, including, without limitation, the fair rental value and costs associated with maintaining a management office at the Property; and (9) all other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the repair, replacement, operation, maintenance, securing, insuring and policing of the Building and Property.

###

### (ii) The term “Operating Expenses” shall not include: (1) the cost of any item which, by standard accounting practice, should be capitalized, except that in lieu of capital expenses for repairs, replacements or enhancements to the Building or Property (including without limitation any upgrades for the purpose of reducing Operating Costs or for the purpose of complying with applicable laws, codes and regulations), there shall be included

11

### within Operating Expenses for each calendar year, from and after the expenditure in question, the annual amortization of such expenditure over the useful life of the item(s) in question, as reasonably determined by Landlord and including an interest factor equal to the Prime Rate of interest (the “Prime Rate”) as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2%); (2) any charge for depreciation, interest on encumbrances or ground rents paid or incurred by Landlord; (3) repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal fees and expenses, alteration costs and other expenses of preparing space for reletting and related advertising expenses; (4) costs actually reimbursed by insurance proceeds or tenants, (5) costs of electricity, gas and any other utilities provided to tenant spaces (as opposed to Common Areas) in the Building; (6) the cost of work or services performed specifically for any other tenant (whether or not such tenant reimburses Landlord (excluding janitorial and similar services)); (7) fines and/or penalties incurred due to violations by Landlord of any law or any government rule, regulation or directive; and (8) costs related to the roof and structure of the Building.

###

### (iii) “Taxes” shall mean all real estate taxes and assessments, general and special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, imposed upon the Property or with respect to the ownership thereof. If, due to a future change in the method of taxation, any franchise, income, profit or other tax, however designated, shall be levied or imposed in substitution in whole or in part for (or in lieu of) any tax which would otherwise be included within the term “Taxes” as defined herein, then the same shall be included in the term “Taxes”, but only to the extent such other tax would be imposed upon Landlord if the Property were the only real estate owned by Landlord. If a special improvement shall hereafter be made for the sole benefit of Tenant which results in an increase in the taxable value of the Building (as opposed to general tenant improvements consistent with normal office use), then any increase in Taxes attributable to such special improvement shall be the responsibility of Tenant.

###

## (c) in determining Operating Expenses for any year (including the Base Year), the following adjustments shall be made:

##

### (i) if less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Building rentable area shall have been occupied by tenants at any time during such year, Operating Expenses shall be deemed for such year to be an amount equal to the like expenses which Landlord reasonably determines would normally be incurred had such occupancy been ninety-five percent (95%) throughout such year;

###

### (ii) if any tenant of the Building supplies itself with a service at any time during such year that Landlord would ordinarily supply without separately charging therefor, then Operating Expenses shall be deemed to include the cost that Landlord would have incurred had Landlord supplied such service to such tenant;

###

### (iii) if Landlord successfully obtains a reduction in Taxes, then the Base Year shall thereafter be correspondingly reduced (on a dollars per square foot basis) to the extent of the reduction in Taxes;

###

### (iv) if any Operating Expenses incurred for the Building, Property and/or the Complex consist of shared costs and expenses with one or more other buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement, cost sharing agreement, common area agreement, or otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be equitably allocated by Landlord between the Building, Property and/or the Complex (as applicable) and such other buildings or properties.

12

## (d) Landlord may furnish to Tenant at the commencement of the Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, a statement of Landlord’s good faith estimate of Operating Expenses, and the amount of Tenant’s Share thereof (the ‘Estimated Share”), for the current calendar year. Landlord shall also furnish to Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable after the beginning of each calendar year of the Term following the first calendar year: (i) a statement (the “Expense Statement”) setting forth Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year, including Tenant’s Share thereof; and (ii) a statement of Landlord’s good faith estimate of Operating Expenses, and the amount of the Estimated Share for the then current calendar year. If Landlord from time to time determines that Landlord’s good faith estimate is incorrect, Landlord shall have the right to provide Tenant with a revised statement of Landlord’s good faith estimate of Operating Expenses for the then current year, in which event Tenant’s Estimated Share shall be adjusted accordingly.

##

## (e) Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives the Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference, if positive, between the Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such previous year and the actual payments made by Tenant on account of Tenant’s Share during such calendar year, or if the actual payments exceed Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such previous year, Tenant shall receive a credit against the next payment(s) of Rent falling due or, if the Lease shall have expired, a refund of such overpayment.

##

## (f) Unless Tenant shall give notice to Landlord that Tenant disputes the amount due in accordance with the following provisions, specifying the basis for such dispute, each Expense Statement furnished to Tenant by Landlord under this Section shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant as to the Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share thereof due from Tenant for the period represented thereby; provided, however, that additional amounts due may be required to be paid by any supplemental statement furnished by Landlord. Pending resolution of any dispute, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share in accordance with the Expense Statement furnished by Landlord. Any payment due from Tenant to Landlord on account of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses not yet determined as of the Expiration Date shall be made within twenty (20) days after submission to Tenant of the next Expense Statement, which obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. in connection with any dispute or any information from Landlord’s records obtained by Tenant with respect thereto, Tenant covenants that (x) it will hold the results of any investigation into Landlord’s records in the strictest confidence (provided, however, that Tenant may discuss the results of such investigation with its attorneys, accountants and other consultants and use the information obtained in the investigation to the extent required in any legal or other proceedings related thereto or as may be required by applicable law); and (ii) it will cause any consultants retained by it to adhere to a similar covenant of confidentiality for the benefit of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, until ninety (90) days after Landlord’s delivery of an Expense Statement, Tenant shall have the right, upon not less than two (2) days’ advance written notice to Landlord, to examine or have its appointed accountant examine (during normal business hours), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Landlord’s records related to Operating Expenses and the Base Year, provided Tenant thereafter diligently and promptly completes such inspection, and such inspection privilege shall not delay Tenant’s obligation to pay on account all sums due pursuant to such Expense Statement. In the event Tenant’s examination discloses any discrepancy, Landlord and Tenant shall use their best efforts to resolve the dispute and make an appropriate adjustment. If the dispute is not amicably resolved within thirty (30) days after the completion of Tenant’s examination, the parties shall submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant

13

## to the rules and under the jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association in Princeton, New Jersey. The decision rendered in such arbitration shall be final, binding and non-appealable. Except as set forth herein, the expenses of arbitration, other than individual legal and accounting expenses, which shall be the respective parties’ responsibility, shall be divided equally between the parties. In the event, by agreement or as a result of an arbitration decision, it is determined that Operating Expenses claimed by Landlord exceeded actual Operating Expenses by more than two percent (2%), the actual, reasonable costs to Tenant of Tenant’s audit (including legal and accounting costs) and the cost of such arbitration shall be reimbursed by Landlord. However, in the event it is determined in this same manner that Landlord’s Expense statement is correct or deviated in Tenant’s favor, then Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in accordance with the Expense Statement furnished by Landlord and pay the cost of such arbitration.

##

## (g) Beginning with the next installment of Annual Base Rent due after delivery of the statement of Tenant’s Estimated Share (including the first such delivery on or about the commencement of the Term), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, one-twelfth (1112) of the Estimated Share for the current calendar year multiplied by the number of full or partial calendar months elapsed during the current calendar year up to and including the month payment is made (less any amounts previously paid by Tenant on account of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such period). On the first day of each succeeding month up to the time Tenant shall receive a new statement of Tenant’s Estimated Share, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on account of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, one-twelfth (1/12) of the then current Estimated Share.

##

# 8. UTILITIES FURNISHED TO DEMISED PREMISES.

#

## (a) In addition to the Annual Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay for all utilities (including, without limitation, gas and electricity and, to the extent separately billable, HVAC service) that are furnished to or consumed within the Demised Premises. If a submeter or direct meter is installed for any particular utility and if such submeter or direct meter is functioning properly, Tenant shall pay for its use and consumption of such utility based on its metered usage. If no meter or submeter is installed, Tenant shall pay a pro-rata share of the Aggregate Utility Charge (as hereinafter defined). The “Aggregate Utility Charge” means the total of all charges for the utility in question attributable to the Demised Premises (without any Landlord mark-up) and other areas of the Building covered by such utility (other than Common Areas) for the relevant billing period, and Tenant’s pro-rata share shall be based on the percentage that Tenant’s RSF bears to the total rentable square footage of the areas of the Building serviced by such utility; provided that if less than all of such areas have been occupied by tenants during the relevant billing period, then the Aggregate Utility Charge shall be the amount Landlord reasonably determines would normally be incurred for such utility service had all of such areas been occupied by tenants during such billing period. To the extent required, Landlord shall also make any necessary adjustments to equitably allocate the cost of utility services to the Common Areas, if such services are not separately metered.

##

## (b) Tenant shall pay all utility bills within ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant, either from Landlord or the billing authority. Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by written notice to Tenant and to the extent that the same may be lawfully done, to direct Tenant to contract directly with the utility provider supplying electricity and/or gas to the

14

## Building, in which event Tenant shall pay all charges therefor directly to the utility provider. Landlord shall at all times have the exclusive right to select the provider or providers of utility service to the Demised Premises and the Property, and Landlord shall have the right of access to the Demised Premises from time to time to install or remove utility facilities.

##

# 9. SERVICES.

#

## (a) Subject to payment by Tenant of Operating Expenses and utilities as provided in Sections 7 and 8 above, Landlord shall provide or cause to be provided the following services throughout the Term:

##

### (i) Provide water for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes on the floor(s) on which the Demised Premises are located;

###

### (ii) Furnish heat, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC Service”) to the Demised Premises for ordinary office purposes between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (legal holidays excepted). Tenant, upon such advance notice as is reasonably required by Landlord, shall have the right to receive HVAC Service during non-business hours, provided that Tenant pays to Landlord the standard rate then being charged by Landlord to tenants of the Building for overtime HVAC Service, as determined by Landlord from time to time (provided, however, that such rate shall not exceed $65.00 per hour, Landlord shall not impose upon Tenant any minimum usage requirement and no overtime surcharge shall be imposed to the extent that utilities required for HVAC Service to the Demised Premises are separately metered and all separately metered consumption charges are separately paid for by Tenant pursuant to Section 8 above);

###

### (iii) Furnish electricity to the Demised Premises for ordinary biomedical research and development laboratory and ordinary office purposes. Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed, either in voltage, rated capacity or overall load, that which Landlord determines is standard for office use at the Building.

###

### (iv) Provide janitorial services in accordance with Landlord’s building standard janitorial specifications as set forth on Exhibit “D” attached hereto. Any and all additional or specialized janitorial service desired by Tenant shall be contracted for by Tenant directly with a vendor approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and the cost and payment thereof shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant; and

###

### (v) Provide access, free of charge (including use of the freight elevator in the Building), to the Building and the Demised Premises twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, subject to reasonable security measures as may be implemented by Landlord.

###

## (b) If Tenant requests permission to consume excess or supplemental electrical service, HVAC Service or other utility services (which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Landlord may condition its consent upon conditions that Landlord reasonably determines, all costs for such additional service, including, without limitation, required changes, replacements or additions to the existing facilities servicing the Demised Premises, shall be paid for by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant’s usage of electricity or other utility service is substantially in excess of that for standard office tenancies and if such utility service to the Demised Premises is not separately metered to the Demised Premises pursuant to Section 8 above, Landlord reserves

15

## the right to adjust Tenant’s pro-rata share of such charges, as referred to in Section 8(a) above, in order to equitably reflect a surcharge for such excess use.

##

## (c) Tenant shall directly reimburse Landlord for any supplemental services requested by Tenant and supplied by Landlord, said reimbursement to be paid within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any such supplemental services to Tenant.

##

## (d) It is understood that Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to in this Section will be free from interruption from causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. No interruption of service shall ever be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, permit Tenant to abate Rent or otherwise relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any “Essential Service” (as hereinafter defined) which Landlord is required to provide to the Demised Premises pursuant to the terms of this Section is interrupted due to the negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees (a “Service Interruption”) and such Service Interruption causes all or a material portion of the Demised Premises to be untenantable (the “Affected Space”) for a period of three (3) or more consecutive business days after written notice (or oral notice if written is not possible) thereof from Tenant to Landlord’s customer service call center (the “Interruption Notice”), then, provided that Tenant shall have discontinued business operations in the Affected Space, the Annual Base Rent shall abate in the proportion that the rentable square footage of the Affected Space rendered untenantable bears to the rentable square footage of the Demised Premises, which abatement shall commence on the fourth (4th) business day following Landlord’s receipt of the Interruption Notice and expire on the earlier of Tenant’s re-commencement of business operations in the Affected Space or the date that the Service Interruption is remedied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to abatement or any other remedy if the interruption of any Essential Service is caused in whole or in part by the negligence of Tenant, its agents or employees. Tenant agrees that the rental abatement described herein shall be Tenant’s sole remedy in the event of a Service interruption and Tenant hereby waives any other rights against Landlord, at law or in equity, in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any right to terminate this Lease, to claim an actual or constructive eviction, or to bring an action for money damages. For purposes of this Section, an “Essential Service” shall mean the service provided by the HVAC systems, plumbing and waste disposal systems and electrical systems (to the extent supplied by Landlord). Nothing contained herein shall limit Tenant’s right to abatement in the case of a fire or other casualty or condemnation as provided in the “Fire or Casualty” or “Condemnation” Sections of this Lease.

##

# 10. CARE OF DEMISED PREMISES. Tenant agrees, on behalf of itself, its employees and agents that it shall:

#

## (a) Comply at all times with any and all federal, state and local statutes, regulations, ordinances, and other requirements of any of the constituted public authorities and insurers insuring the Building relating to Tenant’s use, occupancy or alteration of the Demised Premises;

##

## (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 12, below, maintain, repair and replace the interior, non-structural portions of the Demised Premises so as to keep same in safe, good order and repair, as and when needed, and replace all glass broken by Tenant, its agents,

16

## employees or invitees with glass of the same quality as that broken, except for glass broken by fire and extended coverage-type risks, and commit no waste in the Demised Premises;

##

## (c) Not overload, damage or deface the Demised Premises or do any act which might make void or voidable any insurance on the Demised Premises or the Building or which may render an increased or extra premium payable for insurance (and without prejudice to any right or remedy of Landlord regarding this subparagraph, Landlord shall have the right to collect from Tenant, upon demand, any such increase or extra premium);

##

## (d) Not make any alteration of or addition to the Demised Premises without the prior written approval of Landlord, (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except for interior, nonstructural alterations that do not exceed more than Two Dollars ($2.00) per rentable square foot of the Demised Premises in the aggregate in any one calendar year. All alterations performed in the Demised Premises by Tenant, whether or not requiring Landlord’s consent, shall be performed: (i) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, (ii) by contractors and subcontractors approved in advance in writing by Landlord, and (iii) in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable laws and ordinances. Upon completion of any alterations requiring Landlord’s consent hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total cost of such alterations to reimburse Landlord for review of all plans and specifications and final inspection of the work. All alterations to the Demised Premises by Tenant shall be the property of Tenant until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all such alterations shall remain at the Demised Premises and become the property of Landlord without payment by Landlord therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, shall have the right to require that any or all of such alterations be removed upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease by providing written notice thereof to Tenant, as a condition of Landlord’s approval, in which event Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall remove such alterations and repair any resulting damage. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to give the Landlord title to or prevent Tenant’s removal of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment and furniture, provided that Tenant repairs any damage to the Demised Premises caused by such removal;

##

## (e) With the exception of the Lessee Improvements approved by Landlord, not install any equipment of any kind whatsoever which might necessitate any changes, replacements or additions to any of the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, electric, sanitary, elevator or other systems serving the Demised Premises or any other portion of the Building, or to any of the services required of Landlord under this Lease, without the prior written approval of Landlord, and in the event such consent is granted, such replacements, changes or additions shall be paid for by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense;

##

## (f) Not place signs on the Demised Premises except for (i) signs located entirely within the Demised Premises and which are not visible from the exterior of the Demised Premises, (ii) a suitable identification sign on the monument sign Landlord shall erect in the vicinity of the main entrance to the Building, and (iii) signs on doors provided that the lettering and text are approved by Landlord. In the event that signage is constructed at the entrance to or elsewhere in the Complex that identifies the occupants of the Complex or any material part of the Complex (as opposed to the occupants of any individual building in the Complex), Tenant shall

17

## be entitled to the use of a pro rata portion (based upon rentable square footage occupied) of such signage to identify itself thereon. Attached hereto as Exhibit “B-2” is Tenant’s logo, the use of which on such monument sign, Tenant’s door and on any other sign on which the Tenant may identify itself is approved by Landlord;

##

## (g) Not install or authorize the installation of any coin operated vending machine, except for the dispensing of coffee, and similar beverages to the employees of Tenant for consumption upon the Demised Premises and except as permitted by the Building rules and regulations referred to in paragraph 10(h), below; and

##

## (h) Observe the rules and regulations annexed hereto as Exhibit “C,”, as Landlord may from time to time amend the same, for the general safety, comfort and convenience of Landlord, occupants and tenants of the Building, provided that such rules and regulations are enforced in a non-discriminatory manner; and provided, further, that Tenant shall be permitted to keep mice and other laboratory animals in the Demised Premises in connection with the conduct of its business.

##

# 11. MECHANICS’ LIENS. Prior to Tenant performing any alterations to the Demised Premises for which a lien could be filed against the Demised Premises or the Building, Tenant shall have its contractor execute and file in the appropriate public office a Waiver of Mechanics’ Lien, in form satisfactory to Landlord, and provide Landlord with an original copy thereof. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord, discharge any mechanics’ lien for materials or labor claimed to have been furnished to the Demised Premises on Tenant’s behalf (except for work contracted for by Landlord) and shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from any and all claims, costs, damages, loss, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

#

# 12. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Landlord shall keep and maintain the Common Areas of the Building clean and in good working order. Landlord shall further make, or cause to be made, all necessary repairs to the structure and exterior of the Building, as well as to the mechanical, HVAC, electrical and plumbing systems servicing Building, provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to make any repairs until Landlord shall have received notice of the need for such repair. The cost of the foregoing maintenance and repairs shall be included in Operating Expenses except to the extent expressly excluded therefrom pursuant to Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all repairs made necessary by Tenant’s specific use, occupancy or alteration of the Building, or by the negligent acts of Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees (and, without limiting the foregoing, any repairs or maintenance required to any specialized or supplemental equipment installed by or for Tenant and not of a “building standard” nature), shall be made at the sole cost and expense of Tenant.

#

# 13. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNING.

#

## (a) Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Tenant acknowledges that, without in any way limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to withhold its consent if, by way of example and not limitation, (i) the reputation or financial responsibility of a proposed assignee or subtenant is unsatisfactory to

18

## Landlord, (ii) if such subtenant’s or assignee’s business is not for the Permitted Use or would significantly increase the density of personnel use, (iii) provided there is space available in the Building, if the proposed sublease or assignment is to a tenant of the Building or to a prospect with whom Landlord is then negotiating or has negotiated within the previous ninety (90) days, or (iv) if Tenant is in default in the payment or performance of any of its obligations hereunder. In addition, Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate this Lease without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Any assignment, sublease, mortgage, pledge or hypothecation in violation of this Section shall be void at the option of Landlord and shall constitute a default hereunder without the opportunity for notice or cure by Tenant.

##

## (b) A transfer or sale by Tenant of a majority of the voting shares, partnership interests or other controlling interests in Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease by Tenant requiring Landlord’s prior written consent pursuant to subparagraph (a) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent, to sublet all or a portion of the Demised Premises or to assign this Lease to any entity which is an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of Tenant so long as the Affiliate has a net worth (excluding intangibles) equal to or greater than the net worth (excluding intangibles) of Tenant as of the date of this Lease or as of the date of the transfer, whichever is greater. As used herein, “Affiliate” shall mean any entity (x) that directly owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares, partnership interests or other controlling interests in Tenant, or (y) in which Tenant owns such controlling interests, or (z) with which Tenant is in common control by virtue of the ownership of such controlling interests by another person or entity.

##

## (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such subletting or assignment (whether or not requiring Landlord’s consent) shall not in any way relieve or release Tenant from liability for the payment and performance of all obligations under this Lease (including, if applicable, obligations relating to any extension of the Term), and Tenant shall remain primarily liable to Landlord for all such obligations without release or limitation by reason of any action or inaction by Landlord (including without limitation any failure to take any action in the enforcement of this Lease against the assignee or subtenant, any release or inaction with respect to any security or collateral (including without limitation any failure to perfect any interest therein), any forbearance, any failure to provide any notice to Tenant, or any modification or amendment to this Lease). Furthermore, no assignment will be valid unless the assignee shall execute and deliver to Landlord an assumption of liability agreement in form satisfactory to Landlord, including an assumption by the assignee of all of the obligations of Tenant and the assignee’s ratification of and agreement to be bound by all the provisions of this Lease; and no subletting will be valid unless Tenant and the subtenant have executed and delivered to Landlord a sublease agreement pursuant to which such subtenant agrees that the sublease shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease.

##

## (d) In the case of a sublease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of all subrents or other sums or economic consideration received by Tenant (after deducting Tenant’s reasonable costs of reletting), whether denominated as rentals or otherwise, in excess of the monthly sums which Tenant is required to pay under this Lease. In the case of an assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of all sums or economic consideration received by Tenant

19

## for the assignment (after deducting Tenant’s reasonable costs in connection with the assignment), whether denominated as rentals or otherwise.

##

## (e) When Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease, it shall notify Landlord in writing of (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) the nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (iii) financial information including, if reasonably available, financial statements of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (iv) the rental rate and material monetary terms, such as rent concessions, work, or work allowance, at which Tenant intends to sublet any of the Demised Premises or assign this Lease, the proposed commencement date of the sublet or assignment and, in the case of a sublet, the portion of the Demised Premises sought to be sublet and the length of the sublet, and (v) as soon as reasonably available, a copy of the proposed sublet or assignment documentation. Tenant shall thereafter promptly provide to Landlord any and all other information and documents reasonably requested by Landlord in order to assist Landlord with its consideration of Tenant’s request hereunder.

##

## (f) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above, Landlord shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of the written notice furnished pursuant to subsection (e) above to elect to terminate this Lease in its entirety if the proposed transaction was an assignment or a sublease of substantially all of the Demised Premises, or to terminate this Lease only with respect to the space proposed to be sublet, if the proposed transaction was a sublease of less than substantially all of the Demised Premises, in each case by written notice to Tenant, in which event this Lease shall automatically terminate with respect to all or such portion of the Demised Premises as the case may be, on the ninetieth (90th) day following Tenant’s receipt of the such notice with the same force and effect as if the termination date had been designated as the expiration date of this Lease and, in the event this Lease is to terminate as to only a part of the Demised Premises, Landlord shall, as promptly as possible, perform all demising work necessary or appropriate to divide the space as to which this Lease is to terminate from the remainder of the Demised Premises in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and fully restore to their prior condition the part of the Demised Premises as to which this Lease shall continue in effect. In the event that Landlord elects not to terminate the Lease wholly or in part as set forth above, then the remaining provisions of this Section 13 shall be applicable.

##

## (g) No subletting, occupancy or collection of rent with respect to a subtenant or assignee shall be deemed the acceptance of the subtenant or occupant as tenant under this Lease unless otherwise consented to by Landlord. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting where such Landlord consent is required shall not in any respect be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting.

##

## (h) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand therefor, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Landlord in connection with the granting of consent to any assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Demised Premises.

##

# 14. FIRE OR CASUALTY. In the event that the whole or a substantial part of the Building or the Demised Premises is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then, within forty-five (45) days after the date that Landlord receives notice of such fire or other casualty, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant as to whether Landlord intends to repair or

20

# rebuild and the estimated time period for the completion thereof. In the event that Landlord’s notice provides that the repairs to the Demised Premises are estimated to require more than two hundred seventy (270) days to complete, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by providing written notice thereof to Landlord within thirty days (30) after receipt of Landlord’s notice. In the event that Landlord elects to repair or rebuild (and Tenant does not have the right to, or has elected not to, terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing sentence), Landlord shall thereupon cause the damage (excepting, however, damage to Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property in, and all alterations and improvements performed by Tenant to, the Demised Premises, which shall be Tenant’s responsibility to restore) to be repaired with reasonable speed, subject to delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of loss under insurance policies and for delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, it being further understood that in such case this Lease shall remain in effect regardless of whether the actual time for completion of restoration shall differ from the initial estimate. In the event the damage shall be so extensive that Landlord shall decide not to repair or rebuild, or if any mortgagee, having the right to do so, shall direct that the insurance proceeds are to be applied to reduce the mortgage debt rather than to the repair of such damage, this Lease shall, at the option of Landlord, be terminated effective as of the date of casualty. To the extent and for the time that the Demised Premises are rendered untenantable on account of fire or other casualty, the Rent shall proportionately abate; provided, however, that if the tenantable portion of the Demised Premises is too small to be suitable for the Permitted Use, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by providing written notice thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of casualty.

#

# 15. EMINENT DOMAIN. If the whole or a substantial part of the Building is taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain by any competent authority or sold in lieu of such taking or condemnation, such that in the opinion of Landlord the Building is not economically operable as before without substantial alteration or reconstruction, this Lease shall automatically terminate on the date that the right to possession shall vest in the condemning authority (the ‘Taking Date”), with Rent being adjusted to said Taking Date, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord and no claim or right to any portion of any amount that may be awarded as damages or paid as a result of any taking, condemnation or purchase in lieu thereof; all rights of Tenant thereto are hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord. If any part of the Demised Premises is so taken or condemned and this Lease is not terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, this Lease shall automatically terminate as to the portion of the Demised Premises so taken or condemned, as of the Taking Date, and this Lease shall continue in full force as to the remainder of the Demised Premises, with Rent abating only to the extent of the Demised Premises so taken or condemned; provided, however, that if the remaining portion of the Demised Premises is no longer suitable for the Permitted Use, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by providing written notice thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Taking Date.

# case of involuntary proceedings, the same shall be dismissed within sixty (60) days after institution), or (d) any execution issued against Tenant or any Guarantor which is not stayed or discharged within fifteen (15) days after issuance of any execution sale of the assets of Tenant, shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. Landlord in the event of such a breach, shall have, without need of further notice, the rights enumerated in Section 17 herein. It is further agreed that for this purpose the term “Tenant° means the tenant in possession under this Lease and none other.

#

# 17. DEFAULT.

#

## (a) If (i) Tenant shall fail to pay Rent or any other sum payable to Landlord hereunder when due and such failure continues for more than five (5) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant (provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to provide written notice to Tenant more than two times during any twelve month period), or (ii) any of the events specified in Section 16 occur; or (iii) Tenant fails to occupy the Demised Premises within ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date or abandons the Demised Premises during the term hereof or removes or manifests an intention to remove all or substantially all of Tenant’s goods or property therefrom other than in the ordinary and usual course of Tenant’s business; or (iv) Tenant sublets the Demised Premises or assigns this Lease in violation of the provisions of Section 13 hereof; or (v) Tenant fails to maintain the insurance required pursuant to Section 19 hereof; or (vi) Tenant fails to pay Landlord the Security Deposit within the time periods prescribed by Section 6 hereof; or (vii) Tenant fails to perform or observe any of the other covenants, terms or conditions contained in this Lease and such failure continues for more than fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof from Landlord (or such longer period as is reasonably required to correct any such default, provided Tenant promptly commences and diligently continues to effectuate a cure, but in any event within sixty (60) days after written notice thereof by Landlord); then and in any of said cases (notwithstanding any former breach of covenant or waiver thereof in a former instance), Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it by law or equity or by any other provisions hereof, may at any time thereafter:

##

### (i) declare to be immediately due and payable, a sum equal to the Accelerated Rent Component (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided;

###

### (ii) terminate this Lease upon written notice to Tenant and, on the date specified in said notice, this Lease and the term hereby demised and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate and Tenant shall thereupon quit and surrender possession of the Demised Premises to Landlord in the condition elsewhere herein required, and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided; and/or

###

### (iii) enter upon and repossess the Demised Premises, by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and dispossess Tenant and remove Tenant and all other persons and property from the Demised Premises, without being liable to Tenant for prosecution or damages therefor, and Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided.

###

## (b) For purposes herein, the Accelerated Rent Component shall mean the aggregate of:

22

### (i) all Rent and other charges, payments, costs and expenses due from Tenant to Landlord and in arrears at the time of the election of Landlord to recover the Accelerated Rent Component;

###

### (ii) the Annual Base Rent reserved for the then entire unexpired balance of the Term (taken without regard to any early termination of the Term by virtue of any default or any early termination rights set forth herein), plus all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant up to the end of the Term which shall be capable of precise determination at the time of Landlord’s election to recover the Accelerated Rent Component, discounted to then present value at the Prime Rate (as defined in Section 7(b)(2)); and

###

### (iii) Landlord’s good faith estimate of all charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant up to the end of the Term which shall not be capable of precise determination as aforesaid, discounted to then present value at the Prime Rate (and for such purposes no estimate of any component of the Additional Rent to accrue pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7 and Section 8 hereof shall be less than the amount which would be due if each such component continued at the average monthly rate or amount in effect during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the default).

###

## (c) In any case in which Landlord shall have entered upon and repossessed the Demised Premises, Landlord may (but shall be under no obligation to attempt to) relet all or any portion of the Demised Premises for and upon such terms as Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Landlord need not consider any proposed tenant offered by Tenant in connection with such reletting. For the purpose of such retelling, Landlord may decorate or make reasonable repairs, changes, alterations or additions to the Demised Premises to the extent deemed desirable or convenient by Landlord. All costs of reletting, including, without limitation, the cost of such repairs, changes, alterations and additions, brokerage commissions and legal fees, shall be charged to and be payable by Tenant as Additional Rent hereunder. Any sums collected by Landlord from any new tenant shall be credited against the balance of the Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder as aforesaid.

##

## (d) Tenant shall, with respect to all periods of time up to and including the expiration of the term of this Lease (or what would have been the expiration date in the absence of default or breach) remain liable to Landlord as follows:

##

### (i) In the event of termination of this Lease on account of Tenant’s default or breach, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for damages equal to the rent and other charges payable under this Lease by Tenant as if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds of any reletting after deducting all costs incident thereto (including without limitation all repossession costs, brokerage and management commissions, operating and legal expenses and fees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for reletting) and to the extent such damages shall not have been recovered by Landlord by virtue of payment by Tenant of the Accelerated Rent Component (but without prejudice to the right of Landlord to demand and receive the Accelerated Rent Component), such damages shall be payable to Landlord, at Landlord’s option, monthly upon presentation to Tenant of a bill for the amount due or at such other intervals or times as Landlord shall determine.

###

### (ii) In the event and so long as this Lease shall not have been terminated after default or breach by Tenant, the rent and all other charges payable under this

23

### Lease shall be reduced by the net proceeds of any reletting by Landlord (after deducting all costs incident thereto as above set forth) and by any portion of the Accelerated Rent Component paid by Tenant to Landlord (but without prejudice to the right of Landlord to demand and receive the Accelerated Rent Component), and any amount due to Landlord shall be payable monthly, at Landlord’s option, upon presentation to Tenant of a bill for the amount due, or at such other intervals or times as Landlord shall determine.

###

## (e) If Landlord shall, after default or breach by Tenant, recover the Accelerated Rent Component from Tenant and it shall be determined at the expiration of the term of this Lease (taken without regard to early termination for default) that a credit is due Tenant because the net proceeds of reletting, as aforesaid, plus the amounts paid to Landlord by Tenant exceed the aggregate of rent and other charges accrued in favor of Landlord to the end of the term, Landlord shall refund such excess to Tenant (but not an amount more than the rent and additional rent paid by Tenant for any particular period of time), without interest, promptly after such determination.

##

## (f) Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages incident to a termination of or default under this Lease, in any bankruptcy, reorganization or other court proceedings, the maximum amount allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect when such damages are to be proved.

##

## (g) Landlord shall in no event be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any Rent due upon a reletting.

##

## (h) Tenant shall pay upon demand all of Landlord’s costs, charges and expenses, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel, agents and others retained by Landlord, incurred in enforcing Tenant’s obligations hereunder or incurred by Landlord in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Tenant causes Landlord, without Landlord’s fault, to become involved or concerned.

##

## (i) INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

##

## (j) INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

##

## (k) INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

##

## (l) If Annual Base Rent shall be overdue for more than five (5) days or if any other sum due from Tenant to Landlord shall be overdue for more than five (5) business days following receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefore, it shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

##

## (m) All remedies available to Landlord hereunder and at law and in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent. No termination of this Lease nor taking or recovering possession of the Demised Premises shall deprive Landlord of any remedies or actions against Tenant for Rent, for charges or for damages for the breach of any covenant, agreement or condition herein contained, nor shall the bringing of any such action for Rent, charges or breach of covenant, agreement or condition, nor the resort to any other remedy or right for the recovery of Rent, charges or damages for such breach be construed as a waiver or release of the right to insist upon the forfeiture and to obtain possession. No reentering or taking possession of the Demised Premises, or making of repairs, alterations or improvements thereto, or reletting

24

## thereof, shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such election to terminate is given by Landlord to Tenant.

##

## (n) NONWAIVER. No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Landlord to enforce any remedy allowed for the violation of such provision, even if such violation is continued or repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the one(s) specified in such waiver and only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the receipt of such moneys, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Demised Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment. The receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Annual Base Rent or any Additional Rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of the Annual Base Rent or Additional Rent then due, and any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s check to the contrary shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the Annual Base Rent or Additional Rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this Lease or otherwise.

##

# 18. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE. Landlord may (but shall not be obligated), on five (5) days notice to Tenant (except that no notice need be given in case of emergency) cure on behalf of Tenant any default hereunder by Tenant, and the cost of such cure (including any attorney’s fees reasonably incurred) shall be deemed Additional Rent payable upon demand.

#

# 19. INSURANCE. Tenant shall at all times during the Term, including any renewal or extension thereof, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain in full force and effect with respect to the Demised Premises and Tenant’s use thereof from insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord: (i) comprehensive general liability insurance, covering injury to person and property in amounts at least equal to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and annual aggregate limit for bodily injury and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and annual aggregate limit for property damage, with increases in such limits as Landlord may from time to time reasonably request, and (ii) all-risk or fire and extended coverage insurance upon all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property in, and all alterations and improvements performed by Tenant to, the Demised Premises for the full replacement value of the same. All liability insurance policies shall name Landlord, the Property Manager and at Landlord’s request any mortgagee of all or any portion of the Property as additional insureds. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of such insurance at or prior to the Commencement Date, together with evidence of paid-up premiums, and shall deliver to Landlord renewals thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration. All such policies and certificates shall provide that such insurance coverage may not be cancelled or materially amended unless Landlord, the Property Manager and any mortgagee designated by Landlord as aforesaid are given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the same.

25

# 20. LIABILITY.

#

## (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby releases the other, to the extent of the releasing party’s insurance coverage, from any and all liability for any loss or damage covered by such insurance which may be inflicted upon the property of such party even if such loss or damage shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party, its agents or employees; provided, however, that this release shall be effective only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as the appropriate policy of insurance shall contain a clause to the effect that this release shall not affect the policy or the right of the insured to recover thereunder. If any policy does not permit such a waiver, and if the party to benefit therefrom requests that such a waiver be obtained, the other party agrees to obtain an endorsement to its insurance policies permitting such waiver of subrogation if it is available; provided that if an additional premium is charged for such waiver, the party benefiting therefrom agrees to pay the amount of such additional premium promptly upon being billed therefor.

##

## (b) Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord, its agents and employees, for any loss of life, personal injury or damage to property in the Demised Premises from any cause whatsoever unless such loss, injury or damage is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord, its agents and employees shall in no event be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord, its agents and employees, for any loss or damage to property, whether or not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees, to the extent that Tenant would be covered by insurance that Tenant is required to carry hereunder or is covered by insurance regardless of the insurance requirements set forth herein, or to the extent of insurance customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants for the risk in question (even if Tenant failed to maintain such insurance). Tenant shall and does hereby indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents and employees harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) in connection with any loss of life, personal injury or damage to property in or about the Demised Premises or arising out of the use or occupancy of the Demised Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or contractors, or occasioned in whole or in part by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or contractors, unless such loss, injury or damage was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. Tenant’s covenants, obligations and liabilities under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

##

## (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, it is expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that none of Landlord’s covenants, undertakings or agreements are made or intended as personal covenants, undertakings or agreements by Landlord or its partners, shareholders or trustees, or any of their respective partners, shareholders or trustees, and any liability for damage or breach or nonperformance by Landlord, its agents or employees or for the negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees, shall be collectible only out of Landlord’s interest in the Building and no personal liability is assumed by, nor at any time may be asserted against, Landlord or its partners, shareholders or trustees or any of its or their partners, shareholders, trustees, officers, agents, employees, legal representatives, successors or assigns, if any; all such liability, if any, being expressly waived and released by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in no event shall Landlord be

26

# 22. SUBORDINATION. This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of all underlying mortgages and to all ground or underlying leases of the entire Building which may now or hereafter encumber the Building and/or the Property, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, provided, however, that with respect to future mortgages, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate so long as the holder of any such mortgage shall have provided to Tenant a nondisturbance agreement which shall provide, inter alia, that (a) Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall not be extinguished by any foreclosure or other enforcement proceedings so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease (b) subject to the foregoing, the Tenant’s rights under this Lease are subordinate to the rights of the holder of such mortgagee, and (c) Tenant shall attorn to the holder of such mortgage. Except as provided above, this clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary. Notwithstanding the automatic subordination of this Lease, Tenant shall execute, within five (5) business days after request, any certificate that Landlord may reasonably require acknowledging such subordination. If Landlord has attached to this Lease, or subsequently delivers to Tenant, a form of subordination agreement required by a mortgagee of the Property, Tenant shall execute and return the same to Landlord within five (5) business days after receipt thereof by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

28

# party holding the instrument to which this Lease is subordinate shall have the right to recognize and preserve this Lease in the event of any foreclosure sale or possessory action, and in such case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect at the option of the party holding the superior lien (subject to the limitations in Sections 20(c) and 31(c)), and Tenant shall attorn to such party and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that has for its purpose and effect the confirmation of such attornment.

#

# 24. RESERVATION OF LANDLORD’S RIGHTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord explicitly reserves, without limitation, the following rights, each of which Landlord may exercise without liability to Tenant, and the exercise of any such rights shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Demised Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for setoff or abatement of Rent or any other claim or otherwise affect any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder:

#

## (a) to decorate or make repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Property, including the Building and the Common Areas, and/or to discontinue the availability of any Common Areas or to substitute different Common Areas (provided that Landlord shall maintain such Common Areas as are necessary to provide reasonable access and use of the Demised Premises, and provided further that, during the continuance of any work by Landlord, Landlord may temporarily close doors, entrance ways, corridors or any other public areas of the Building, or temporarily suspend services or the use of facilities, so long as Landlord endeavors to minimize any undue disruption to Tenant’s access);

No such placement of pipes or conduits shall be made in the Demised Premises, and no entry shall be made by Landlord for the purpose of

29

## making repairs, alterations, improvements or additions, unless the latter or such placement of pipes or conduits is necessary to correct a default of Tenant, to carry out an obligation of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, to perform a repair needed for the Building, to provide services to another tenant of the Building, or to comply with a requirement of law or the Board of Fire Underwriters where such compliance is the duty of Landlord under this Lease.

##

## (e) to exclusively utilize the roofs, telephone, electrical and janitorial closets, equipment rooms, building risers and similar areas that are used by Landlord for the provision of Building services; and

##

## (f) to show the Demised Premises to prospective mortgagees and purchasers and, during the six (6) months prior to expiration of the Term, to prospective tenants.

No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of the Demised Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. In the event that Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Demised Premises to a new tenant or to perform improvements for a new tenant as a result of any holdover by Tenant after receipt of Landlord’s notice to vacate, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages, including, without limitation, consequential damages, that Landlord suffers as a result of Tenant’s holdover.

#

# 26. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

#

# 27. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Upon the request of any mortgagee, prospective mortgagee or prospective purchaser of the Property, Tenant shall provide to Landlord complete copies of Tenant’s latest annual financial statements on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, subject to mutually acceptable confidentiality agreements, such other information as may be reasonably requested by such mortgagee and/or purchaser.

#

## (a) In the event that Landlord anticipates that all or any portion of the First Offer Space may become available during the Term, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the availability of all or such portion of the First Offer Space, as the case may be (the “Offered Space”), setting forth the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the rental rate and the duration of the proposed term, etc.) upon which Landlord would be willing to lease the Offered Space (“Landlord’s Availability Notice”).

## (c) The effective date of the addition of the Additional Space to the Demised Premises shall be the date that Landlord delivers possession of the Additional Space to Tenant in accordance with the terms of Landlord’s Availability Notice.

##

## (d) Except as otherwise provided in Landlord’s Availability Notice, Tenant agrees to accept the Additional Space in its “AS IS” condition, in the then current physical state and condition thereof, without any representation or warranty by Landlord.

Should Landlord have a roof bond in effect, Tenant shall utilize Landlord’s roofing contractor for any roof penetrations necessary for installation. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s review and approval of any plans for the HVAC Equipment shall not constitute an acknowledgement by Landlord that, without limitation, the proposed HVAC Equipment complies with all applicable laws and requirements, will not damage or cause excessive stress to the roof areas, or will not cause any Interference (as hereinafter defined), all of which shall be Tenant’s responsibility to ensure notwithstanding any approval by Landlord as to such plans.

35

# incurred by Landlord arising out of or in any way related to Tenant’s use and operation of the HVAC Equipment.
