WHEREAS, Sublandlord, as Tenant, and BP Reservoir Place LLC (Prime Landlord), as Landlord, entered into that certain Lease dated May 28, 2010, as amended, (the Prime Lease), expiring July 31, 2021;
WHEREAS, the Prime Lease relates to the premises (the Premises) measuring approximately 5,923 rentable square feet located in Suites 286 and 289, on the 2th (Second) floor of the building known and numbered 1601 Trapelo Road, Waltham, MA 02451 (the Building); and
WHEREAS, Sublandlord wishes to sublease to Subtenant, and Subtenant wishes to sublease from Sublandlord, the Premises as shown on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit A (hereafter the Subleased Premises) on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein reserved and contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
General Provisions
1. The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated by reference. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prime Lease.
2. This Sublease and Subtenants rights hereunder are in all respects subject and subordinate to the terms of the Prime Lease, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. No provision of the Prime Lease shall confer any greater rights on Subtenant than are provided in this Sublease. Any other provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, Subtenant shall have no right to, and Subtenant covenants that it shall not, violate any terms, covenants or conditions of the Prime Lease. Subtenant agrees to be independently bound by and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Prime Lease on the part of Sublandlord (as Tenant under the Prime Lease) to be kept and performed, other than (1) rental obligations and other like terms which would by their nature or by their terms be applicable only to Sublandlord (as Tenant under the Prime Lease), (2) any restoration obligations (except with respect to alterations made by Subtenant which are required to be removed at the end of the term under the Prime Lease), and (3) any other obligations which relate to any period of time prior to commencement of the Sublease Term (including, without limitation, obligations to cure violations of law or to make repairs, the need for which arose prior to the commencement of the Sublease Term). Subtenant shall have no rights under the Prime Lease containing (a) options or rights to extend the term of the Prime Lease, (b) options, rights of first offer, rights of first
refusal, or other rights to expand the rentable square feet comprising the Premises or lease any other space in the Building, or (c) options to terminate the Prime Lease or contract the rentable square feet comprising the Premises (other than to exercise termination options for this Sublease for casualty and condemnation if Sublandlord would have the right under the Prime Lease to exercise a right of termination). This Sublease shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the Prime Lease for any reason, subject to the provisions of Article VI, Paragraph 9 hereof. If the Prime Lease shall terminate during the term hereof for any reason whatsoever, this Sublease shall terminate upon such termination with the same force and effect as if such termination date had been named herein.
ARTICLE II
Subleased Premises
Sublandlord, in consideration of the rents herein reserved and of the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained, hereby leases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby leases from Sublandlord, the Subleased Premises. The Subleased Premises are leased in as-is condition without any representations or warranties by Sublandlord regarding the condition or suitability of the Subleased Premises for Subtenants use and without any obligation on the part of Sublandlord to construct or prepare the Subleased Premises for Subtenants use and occupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall deliver the Premises in broom clean condition with professionally cleaned floor areas and with all building systems (for which Sublandlord is responsible for repair under the Prime Lease) in working order as of the Commencement Date.
ARTICLE III
Sublease Term
To have and to hold the Subleased Premises unto Subtenant for a term (the Sublease Term) commencing on the date (the Commencement Date) that is the later of (a) November 1, 2017, (b) Sublandlord vacating the Subleased Premises and delivering the same to Subtenant in the condition required under this Sublease (the Delivery Date), and (c) the date of Prime Landlords written consent to this Sublease, and ending on July 30, 2021 (the Expiration Date), unless sooner terminated as herein provided. This Sublease is conditioned on, and shall not be effective until approved by Prime Landlord, in writing, such written approval to be in form reasonably acceptable to Subtenant and Sublandlord, it being agreed that Prime Landlords standard form of consent shall be deemed reasonably acceptable. Sublandlord shall promptly request the same and pay any fees or charges expressly provided for in the Prime Lease. If Prime Landlord elects, in writing, to withhold its consent written consent to this Sublease for any reason whatsoever, then this Sublease shall be deemed null and void and of no further force or effect and Sublandlord shall not have any liability to Subtenant on account of Prime Landlords withholding or denial of consent, and, in which case, Sublandlord shall promptly return to Subtenant the Security Deposit and all other sums theretofore paid by Subtenant hereunder. If Prime Landlords written consent is not received by November 15, 2017, either party by notice to the other party given after November 15, 2017 and prior the receipt of Prime Landlords consent, may cancel this Sublease, in which case Sublandlord shall promptly return to Subtenant the Security Deposit and all other sums theretofore paid by Subtenant hereunder. If the Delivery
Date is delayed, due to Force Majeure, beyond the date (the Outside Date) that is the later to occur of (i) November 15, 2017, and (ii) the date of delivery by Prime Landlord of its written consent, then Subtenant shall be entitle to a credit against the rent due hereunder (after the expiration of any other free rent or abatement periods) equal to one day of Base Rent for each day that the Delivery Date is delayed beyond the Outside Date. As used herein, Force Majeure shall mean any prevention, delay, or stoppage due to governmental regulation, strikes, lockouts, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, civil commotions, or unusual scarcity of or inability to obtain labor or materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the lack of, or delay in, availability of space for Sublandlord to relocate to, or any delay in any work with respect to such relocation space, be deemed an event of Force Majeure hereunder.
ARTICLE IV
Rent
Subtenant covenants and agrees to pay directly to Sublandlord, at the address set forth in Article X (or at such other address as Sublandlord shall from time to time designate in writing), as rent during the Sublease Term:

Failure to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other charges for five days after the due day shall subject Subtenant to the same late payment penalty as Sublandlord is subject to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Additionally Subtenant shall pay interest at the same rate as Sublandlord is bound to pay to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease for failure to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges.

4. Subtenant shall pay upon demand all charges associated with requests by Subtenant for maintenance (to the extent that Prime Landlord or Sublandlord is not required to perform such maintenance under the Prime Lease) and HVAC after building standard hours.
5. Upon execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord Base Rent for the month of January, 2018 in the amount of $14,807.50.
ARTICLE V
Security Deposit
Subtenant shall, at the time that Subtenant executes and delivers this Sublease to Sublandlord, pay to Sublandlord a security deposit in the amount of $ 14,807.50 ( one month of the initial Base Rent amount) to secure Subtenants obligations under this Sublease. In no event shall said security deposit be deemed to be a prepayment of rent nor shall it be considered a measure of liquidated damages. Subtenant agrees that no interest shall accrue on said security deposit and that Sublandlord shall have no obligation to maintain said security deposit in a separate account (i.e., Sublandlord shall have the right to commingle said security deposit with other funds of Sublandlord). In the event that Subtenant shall default in any of its obligations under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have the right, with prior notice to Subtenant, to apply said security deposit (or any portion thereof) towards the cure of any such default and Subtenant shall promptly, upon notice from Sublandlord, pay to Sublandlord any amount so applied by Sublandlord in order to restore the full amount of said security deposit. The application of all or any part of the security deposit to any obligation or default of Subtenant under this Sublease shall not deprive Sublandlord of any other rights or remedies Sublandlord may have nor shall such application by Sublandlord constitute a waiver by Sublandlord. Provided that Subtenant is not in default of any of its obligations under this Sublease at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall refund to Subtenant all of said security deposit which Sublandlord is then holding within 30 days after the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Sublease.
ARTICLE VI
Subtenants Covenants; Sublandlords Covenants
1. Except as otherwise provided herein, at all times during the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall (a) observe, perform and fulfill all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Prime Lease on Tenants part to be observed, performed and fulfilled, and (b) discharge all of Tenants obligations under the Prime Lease with respect only to the Subleased Premises. In the case of any default by Subtenant in such required observance, performance, fulfillment or discharge of any term, covenant, condition or obligation of the Prime Lease, or of any term, covenant, condition or obligation of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have all the rights against Subtenant under this Sublease as would be available to Prime Landlord against Tenant under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to cure Subtenant defaults whether it involves entering the Premises, after reasonable notice of entry, or not.
2. The time limits contained in the Prime Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act, covenant or condition on the part of Tenant to be performed are changed for the purposes of incorporation herein by shortening the same in each instance by two (2) days, so that in each instance Subtenant shall have two (2) days less time to observe or perform hereunder than Sublandlord has as Tenant under the Prime Lease. The time limits contained in the Prime Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act, covenant or condition on the part of Landlord to be performed are changed for the purposes of incorporation herein by lengthening the same in each instance by two (2) days, so that in each instance Sublandlord shall have two (2) days more time to observe or perform hereunder than Prime Landlord has as Landlord has under the Prime Lease.
3. Any right of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease of access to or inspection of the Premises or the Building, to do work in the Premises or the Building, or with respect to rules and regulations shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, Prime Landlord, and any other person intended to be benefitted by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this Sublease.
4. To the maximum extent enforceable by law, except to the extent caused by the acts, omissions, or negligence of Sublandlord or Landlord (or any parties under their invitation or control at the Building), Subtenant covenants and agrees to exonerate, indemnify, defend, protect and save Sublandlord and Prime Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, expenses, losses, suits and damages (including reasonable attorneys fees) as may be occasioned by reason of (a) any accident, injury or damage occurring in, on or about the Subleased Premises, the Building or the property causing injury to persons or damage to property and due to the act or omission of Subtenant or Subtenants agents, employees, contractors, servants, licensees and invitees (or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Subtenant or Subtenants agents, employees, contractors, servants, licensees and invitees); and (b) the breach or default by Subtenant or Subtenants agents, employees, contractors, servants, licensees and invitees of any representation, covenant, or other term contained in this Sublease, including without limitation the breach of any legal requirements for which Subtenant is liable under this Sublease. To the maximum extent enforceable by law, except to the extent caused by the acts, omissions, or negligence of Subtenant (or any parties under its invitation or control at the Building), Sublandlord covenants and agrees to exonerate, indemnify, defend, protect and save Subtenant harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, expenses, losses, suits and damages (including reasonable attorneys fees) as may be occasioned by reason of (a) any accident, injury or damage occurring in, on or about the Building or the property causing injury to persons or damage to property and due to the act or omission of Sublandlord or Sublandlords agents, employees, contractors, servants, licensees and invitees (or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Sublandlord or Sublandlords agents, employees, contractors, servants, licensees and invitees); and (b) the breach or default by Sublandlord or Sublandlords agents, employees, contractors, servants, licensees and invitees of any representation, covenant, or other term contained in this Sublease, including without limitation the breach of any legal requirements for which Sublandlord is liable under this Sublease or the breach by Sublandlord of
any term or condition of the Prime Lease that results in a termination of this Sublease, and (c) any commissions or other compensation payable to the Broker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, neither Sublandlord nor Subtenant shall be liable to the other for any consequential damages, except that Subtenant shall be liable for any consequential damages resulting from a holdover by Subtenant in the Sublease Premises. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the incorporated terms of the Prime Lease, Sublandlords liability shall not be limited to its interest in the Premises. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
5. Subtenant agrees to use and occupy the Subleased Premises for general office use and no other use or purpose.
6. The only services with respect to the Subleased Premises to which Subtenant is entitled hereunder are those to which Sublandlord as Tenant under the Prime Lease is entitled. Sublandlord does not assume the obligations of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, but shall promptly and diligently, and at Sublandlords sole cost and expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease to perform its obligations for the benefit of Subtenant, and Sublandlord shall, without limitation (a) promptly endeavor to cause Prime Landlord to provide any building service, (b) promptly endeavor to obtain Prime Landlords consent or approval whenever required by the Prime Lease, and (c) promptly forward to Subtenant all notices and communications from Prime Landlord that relate (in any material manner) to the Sublease Premises or Subtenants rights to occupy same. Sublandlord assumes no liability for any of the covenants, representations or warranties of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. In application of the foregoing, except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein, Sublandlord shall have no liability or responsibility for furnishing elevator service, electricity, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, cleaning, trash removal, window washing, snow removal or any other service to the Subleased Premises, the Building or the property, or for any maintenance, repairs or alterations which are the responsibility or obligation of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease.
7. With respect to the Subleased Premises, and to the extent applicable thereto, Subtenant shall perform and agrees to comply with the insurance obligations required of Sublandlord as Tenant under the Prime Lease. Any liability policies which Subtenant is required to maintain as Tenant under the Prime Lease shall name both Sublandlord and Prime Landlord as additional insureds, and Subtenant shall furnish both Sublandlord and Prime Landlord with duplicates of any certificates required by the Prime Lease to be furnished to Prime Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree that the provisions of Section 8.13 of the Prime Lease shall be applicable to Sublandlord and Subtenant (as if the same were Landlord and Tenant, respectively).
8. Subtenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements to the Subleased Premises whatsoever without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Prime Landlord (if such consent is required under the Prime Lease), which consent shall be granted or withheld in accordance with the standards of the Prime Lease (e.g., Subtenant shall benefit from any agreement not to unreasonably withhold, delay, or condition consent). In addition, Sublandlords consent shall not be required if Prime Landlord grants its consent. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall surrender the Subleased Premises free of any lien or
encumbrance made or suffered by Subtenant. The Subleased Premises shall be surrendered broom clean and in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and casualty excepted, and otherwise in accordance with the all of the requirements of the Prime Lease, provided, however, that Subtenant shall have no obligation to perform or pay for (1) any restoration obligations (except with respect to alterations made by Subtenant which are required to be removed at the end of the term under the Prime Lease), or (2) any other obligations in connection with such surrender which relate to any period of time prior to commencement of the Sublease Term (including, without limitation, obligations to cure violations of law or to make repairs, the need for which arose prior to the commencement of the Sublease Term).
9. In the event of default by Sublandlord as Tenant under the Prime Lease, Prime Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Sublandlord under this Sublease, and Subtenant shall, at Prime Landlords option, attorn to Prime Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease, except that Prime Landlord shall not (a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Sublandlord under this Sublease to the extent the same is not a continuing default after Prime Landlord succeeds to such interest; (b) be subject to any offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Subtenant might have against Sublandlord to the extent the reason therefor does not continue after Prime Landlord succeeds to such interest; (c) be bound by any rent or other charges which Subtenant may have paid to Sublandlord more than thirty (30) days in advance of the due date thereof; (d) be bound by any security deposit, tax escrow or insurance escrow which Subtenant may have paid to Sublandlord, except to the extent such security deposit and escrowed funds are received by Prime Landlord; or (e) be bound by any amendment or modification of this Sublease or any consent by Sublandlord under this Sublease to any sublease or assignment of Subtenants interest in this Sublease made without Prime Landlords prior written consent.
10. Without guaranteeing the availability of space, Sublandlord agrees to request that Prime Landlord provide Subtenant with a single directory listing in the Building lobby directory, at Subtenants sole cost and expense. Further, Sublandlord agrees to request that Prime Landlord provide Subtenant with suite entrance signage, at Subtenants sole cost and expense.
11. All of the furnishings, fixtures, equipment, effects and property of every kind, nature and description of Subtenant and of all persons claiming by, through or under Subtenant which, during the Sublease Term or any occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Subtenant, may be in, on or about the Subleased Premises, shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Subtenant and if the whole or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by any portion of the Building becoming out of repair or by defect in or failure of equipment, pipes, or wiring, or by broken glass, or by backing up of drains, or by gas, oil, water or steam leaking, escaping or flowing into the Subleased Premises, by theft or from any other cause, no part of said damage or loss shall be charged to or to be borne by Sublandlord.
ARTICLE VII
Fire, Casualty and Condemnation
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease or in the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as to all or any part of the Subleased Premises, or be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent or any other item of rental, by
reason of fire or other casualty or by condemnation or taking in any manner for any public or quasi-public use affecting the Subleased Premises unless Sublandlord is entitled to terminate the Prime Lease or is entitled to a corresponding abatement with respect to its corresponding obligation under the Prime Lease. If Sublandlord is entitled to terminate the Prime Lease for all or any portion of the Subleased Premises by reason of casualty or condemnation, Subtenant may terminate this Sublease as to any corresponding part of the Subleased Premises by written notice to Sublandlord given at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the date(s) Sublandlord is required to give notice to Prime Landlord of such termination under the terms of the Prime Lease (provided Subtenant has received reasonable advance notice of such date(s)).

There shall be excluded from such taxes (a) any penalties or interest owing by reason of Landlords failure to pay such taxes when due, and (b) all income, estate, succession, inheritance and transfer taxes; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of the ad valorem tax on real property there shall be assessed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax on the gross |

Page 21
period before such termination date) shall cease and promptly upon being billed therefor by Landlord, Tenant shall make final payment of all Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due from Tenant through the termination date. In the event that Landlord shall not exercise its termination rights as aforesaid, or shall fail to give any or timely notice pursuant to this Section the provisions of Sections 5.6.3, 5.6.5 and 5.6.6 shall be applicable. This Section 5.6.2 shall not be applicable to an assignment or sublease pursuant to Section 5.6.4. |
5.6.3 | Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.6 above, but subject to the provisions of this Section 5.6.3 and the provisions of Sections 5.6.5 and 5.6.6 below, in the event that Landlord shall not have exercised the termination right as set forth in Section 5.6.2, or shall have failed to give any or timely notice under Section 5.6.2, then for a period of ninety (90) days (i) after the receipt of Landlords notice stating that Landlord does not elect the termination right, or (ii) after the expiration of the Acceptance Period, in the event Landlord shall not give any or timely notice under Section 5.6.2 as the case may be, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublet the whole (but not part) of the Premises in accordance with the Proposed Transfer Notice provided that, in each instance, Tenant first obtains the express prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. |
Without limiting the foregoing standard, Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to such a proposed assignment or subleasing if: |
(a) | the proposed assignee or subtenant is a tenant in the Building or elsewhere on the Site (and Landlord has available space in the Complex) or is in active negotiation with Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord for premises in the Building or elsewhere on the Site or is not of a character consistent with the operation of a first class office building (by way of example Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to an assignment or subleasing to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency), or |
(b) | the proposed assignee or subtenant is not of good character and reputation, or |
(c) | the proposed assignee or subtenant does not possess adequate financial capability to perform the Tenant obligations with respect to the Subleased Premises as and when due or required, or |
(d) | the assignee or subtenant proposes to use the Premises (or part thereof) for a purpose other than the purpose for which the Premises may be used as stated in Section 1.1 hereof, or |
Page 22
(e) | the character of the business to be conducted or the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee shall (i) be likely to increase Landlords Operating Expenses beyond that which Landlord now incurs for use by Tenant; (ii) be likely to increase the burden on elevators or other Building systems or equipment over the burden prior to such proposed subletting or assignment; or (iii) violate or be likely to violate any provisions or restrictions contained herein relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises, or |
(f) | there shall be existing an Event of Default (defined in Section 7.1) or there have been three (3) or more Event of Default occurrences during the Term, or |
(g) | any part of the rent payable under the proposed assignment or sublease shall be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Premises or if any proposed assignment or sublease shall potentially have any adverse effect on the real estate investment trust qualification requirements applicable to Landlord and its affiliates, or |
(h) | the holder of any mortgage or ground lease on property which includes the Premises does not approve of the proposed assignment or sublease, or |
(i) | due to the identity or business of a proposed assignee or subtenant, such approval would cause Landlord to be in violation of any covenant or restriction contained in another lease or other agreement affecting space in the Building or elsewhere in the Property. |
If Landlord shall consent to the proposed assignment or subletting, as the case may be, then, in such event, Tenant may thereafter sublease (the whole but not part of the Premises) or assign pursuant to Tenants notice, as given hereunder; provided, however, that if such assignment or sublease shall not be executed and delivered to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the date of Landlords consent, the consent shall be deemed null and void and the provisions of Section 5.6.1 shall be applicable. |
5.6.4 | Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 5.6,5.6.2 and 5.6.3 above, but subject to the provisions of Sections 5.6.5 and 5.6.6 below, Tenant shall have the right without Landlords consent to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises (in whole or in part) to any other entity (the Successor Entity) (i) which controls or is controlled by Tenant or Tenants parent corporation, or (ii) which is under common control with Tenant, or (iii) which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iv) which purchases all or substantially all of the stock of |
Page 23
(or other membership interests in) Tenant or (v) which merges or combines with Tenant, provided that the entity to which this Lease is so assigned or which so sublets all of the Premises has a credit worthiness (e.g. assets on a pro forma basis using generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and using the most recent financial statements) which is the same or better than the Tenant as of the date of this Lease, or with respect to a partial sublease has the financial capability in Landlords sole determination to perform the obligations relating to the portion of the Premises sublet (the foregoing transferees referred to, individually or collectively, as a Permitted Transferee). Except in cases of statutory merger, in which case the surviving entity in the merger shall be liable as the Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall continue to remain fully liable under this Lease, on a joint and several basis with the Permitted Transferee. If any parent or subsidiary of Tenant to which this Lease is assigned or the Premises sublet (in whole or in part) shall cease to be such a parent or subsidiary, such cessation shall be considered an assignment or subletting requiring Landlords consent. |
5.6.5 | In the case of any assignment or subleasing as to which Landlord may consent (other than an assignment or subletting permitted under Section 5.6.4 above) such consent shall be upon the express and further condition, covenant and agreement, and Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that, in addition to the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges to be paid pursuant to this Lease, fifty percent (50%) of the Assignment/Sublease Profits (hereinafter defined), if any, shall be paid to Landlord. The Assignment/Sublease Profits shall be the excess, if any, of (a) the Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues as hereinafter defined over (b) the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and other charges provided in this Lease (provided, however, that for the purpose of calculating the Assignment/Sublease Profits in the case of a sublease, appropriate prorations in the applicable Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges under this Lease shall be made based on the percentage of the Premises subleased and on the terms of the sublease). The Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues shall be the fixed rent, Additional Rent and all other charges and sums payable either initially or over the term of the sublease or assignment plus all other profits and increases to be derived by Tenant as a result of such subletting or assignment, less the reasonable costs of Tenant incurred in such subleasing or assignment (the definition of which shall be limited to brokerage commissions, legal fees and alteration expenses and allowances, in each case actually paid), as set forth in a statement certified by an appropriate officer of Tenant and delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the full execution of the sublease or assignment document, amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment. |
All payments of the Assignment/Sublease Profits due Landlord shall be made within ten (10) days of receipt of same by Tenant. |
Page 24
5.6.6 | (A) It shall be a condition of the validity of any assignment or subletting consented to under Section 5.6.3 above, or any assignment or subletting of right under Section 5.6.4 above, that both Tenant and the assignee or sublessee enter into a separate written instrument directly with Landlord in a form and containing terms and provisions reasonably required by Landlord, including, without limitation, the agreement of the assignee or sublessee to be bound directly to Landlord for all the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease (including any amendments or extensions thereof), including, without limitation, the obligation (a) to pay the rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease (but in the case of a subletting, the subtenants liability for such payments shall be limited to the amounts payable therefor by such subtenant under its sublease.), (b) to comply with the provisions of Sections 5.6 through 5.6.6 hereof and (c) to indemnify the Landlord Parties (as defined in Section 8.13) as provided in Section 8.1 hereof. Such assignment or subletting shall not relieve the Tenant named herein of any of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder and Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable therefor and the liability of Tenant and such assignee (or subtenant, as the case may be) shall be joint and several. Further, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions hereof shall not constitute a recognition of the sublease or the subtenant thereunder, as the case may be, and at Landlords option, upon the termination or expiration of the Lease (whether such termination is based upon a cause beyond Tenants control, a default of Tenant, the agreement of Tenant and Landlord or any other reason), the sublease shall be terminated. |
(B) As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a fee for Landlords review of any proposed assignment or sublease requested by Tenant and the preparation of any associated documentation in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, an amount equal to the sum of (i) $1000.00 and/or (ii) reasonable out of pocket legal fees or other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such request.
(C) If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may upon prior notice to Tenant, at any time and from time to time, collect rent and other charges from the assignee, sublessee or occupant and apply the net amount collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or a waiver of the provisions of Sections 5.6 through 5.6.6 hereof, or the acceptance of the assignee, sublessee or occupant as a tenant or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained, the Tenant herein named to remain primarily liable under this Lease.
(D) The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting under Section 5.6.3 above, or the consummation of an assignment or subletting of right under Section 5.6.4 above, shall in no way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting.
Page 25
(E) On or after the occurrence of an Event of Default (defined in Section 7.1), Landlord shall be entitled to one hundred percent (100%) of any Assignment/Sublease Profits.

(d) | (i) Landlord may elect, as an alternative, to have Tenant pay liquidated damages, which election may be made by notice given to Tenant at any time after the termination of this Lease under this Section 7.1, above, and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any damages as hereinbefore provided in this Article VII, and in lieu of all other such damages beyond the date of such notice. Upon such notice, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, in addition to any damages collected or due from Tenant from any period prior to such notice and all expenses which Landlord may have incurred with respect to |
Page 35

(ii) For the purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay damages in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the total rent shall be computed by assuming that Tenants share of excess taxes. Tenants share of excess operating costs and Tenants share of excess electrical costs would be, for the balance of the unexpired Term from the date of such notice, the amount thereof (if any) for the immediately preceding annual period payable by Tenant to Landlord.
(e) | In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (i) re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlords option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term of this Lease and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers advisable or necessary to re-let the same and (ii) may make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable or necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent under re-letting. Tenant, for itself |
Page 36
and any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including its creditors, upon the termination of this Lease and of the term of this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of entry of judgment for the recovery of the possession of the Premises in any action or proceeding, or if Landlord shall enter the Premises by process of law or otherwise, hereby waives any right of redemption provided or permitted by any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force, and does hereby waive, surrender and give up all rights or privileges which it or they may or might have under and by reason of any present or future law or decision, to redeem the Premises or for a continuation of this Lease for the term of this Lease hereby demised after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law, or otherwise. |
(f) | The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may at any time be entitled lawfully, and Landlord may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for, Further, nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above. |
7.2 | Landlords Default |
Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlords obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days, after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation, provided, however, that if such failure is of such a nature that Landlord cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period and Landlord has commenced such cure within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall have such additional time as is reasonably required to cure any such default provided Landlord diligently and continually prosecutes such cure to completion. The Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against the Landlord from rent thereafter due and payable, but shall look solely to the Landlord for satisfaction of such claim.

Recognizing that Landlord may find it necessary to establish to third parties, such as accountants, banks, potential or existing mortgagees, potential purchasers or the like, the then current status of performance hereunder, Tenant, within ten (10) days after the request of Landlord made from time to time, will furnish to Landlord, or any existing or potential holder of any mortgage encumbering the Premises, the Building, the Site and/or the Complex or any potential purchaser of the Premises, the Building, the Site and/or the Complex, (each an Interested Party), a statement of the status of any matter pertaining to this Lease, including, without limitation, acknowledgments that (or the extent to which) each party is in compliance with its obligations under the terms of this Lease.

9.16 | Self-Help |
If there shall be an Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to enter upon the Premises and to perform such obligation notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such substituted performance by Landlord is made in this Lease with respect to such default. In performing such obligation, Landlord may make any payment of money or perform any other act. All sums so paid by Landlord (together with interest at the rate of two and one-half percentage points over the then prevailing prime or base rate in Boston as set by Bank of America, N.A., or its successor) (but in no event greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law) and all costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be additional rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord immediately on demand. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
9.17 | Holding Over |
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be treated as a tenancy at sufferance and shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, as far as applicable except that Tenant shall pay as a use and occupancy charge an amount equal to the greater of (x) for the first thirty days in which the Tenant holds over an amount equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent calculated (on a daily basis) at the highest rate payable under the terms of this Lease and after the first thirty days in which the Tenant holds over and thereafter on amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent calculated (on a daily basis) at the highest rate payable under the terms of this Lease, or (y) the fair market rental value of the Premises, in each case for the period measured from the day on which Tenants hold-over commences and terminating on the day on which Tenant vacates the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall save Landlord, its agents and employees harmless and will exonerate, defend and indemnify Landlord, its agents and employees from and against any and all damages which Landlord may suffer on account of Tenants hold-over in the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the term of this Lease. Nothing in the foregoing nor any other term or provision of this Lease shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises or hold over in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. All property which remains in the Building or the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be conclusively deemed to be abandoned and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any part thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option against the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any arrears of rent or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease and at law and in equity.

9.18 | Intentionally Omitted |
9.19 | Security Deposit |
(A) Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a security deposit in the amount of $35,218.34 and Landlord shall hold the same, throughout the Term of this Lease (including the Extended Term, if applicable), unless sooner returned to Tenant as provided in this Section 9.19, as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be performed under this Lease. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, apply such deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlords damages arising from such Event of Default on the part of Tenant under the terms of this Lease. If Landlord so applies all or any portion of such deposit, Tenant shall within seven (7) days after notice from Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore such deposit to the full amount stated in this Section 9.19. While Landlord holds any deposit Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with Landlords other funds. Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the lessor in a ground lease on property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder or ground lessor.
(B) (a) Landlord shall return a $17,609.17 portion of such deposit to Tenant so that the remainder of such deposit shall be $17,609.17 on the first day of the twenty fifth (25th) month of the Lease Term if (i) Tenant is not then in default under the terms of this Lease without the benefit of notice or grace, (ii) Landlord has not applied such deposit or any portion thereof to Landlords damages arising from any default on the part of Tenant, whether or not Tenant has restored the amount so applied by Landlord and (iii) there have been no more than two (2) Event of Default occurrences during the Term.
(b) If Tenant believes that it has satisfied all the conditions precedent to a reduction in the amount of the security deposit, then it shall request such reduction in writing to Landlord, which request shall certify to Landlord that all such conditions have been satisfied. If Landlord determines that all of the aforesaid conditions are met, the security deposit shall be so reduced in accordance with this Section.
(c) Tenant not then being in default and having performed all of its obligations under this Lease, including the payment of all Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, Landlord shall return the deposit, or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.19, to Tenant on the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease (as the same may have been extended) and surrender possession of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord in the condition required in the Lease at such time.
Page 54
9.20 | Late Payment. |
If Landlord shall not have received any payment or installment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent (the Outstanding Amount) on or before the date on which the same first becomes payable under this Lease (the Due Date), the amount of such payment or installment shall incur a late charge equal to the sum of: (a) five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Amount for administration and bookkeeping costs associated with the late payment and (b) interest on the Outstanding Amount from the Due Date through and including the date such payment or installment is received by Landlord, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. (or its successor) from time to time as its prime or base rate (or if such rate is no longer available, a comparable rate reasonably selected by Landlord), plus two percent (2%), or (ii) the maximum applicable legal rate, if any, Such interest shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Landlord agrees to waive the late charges due hereunder for the first late payment by Tenant under this Lease per calendar year, provided that Landlord receives such payment from Tenant within five (5) business days of the Due Date (provided further that if such payment is not received within the aforesaid five (5) business day period, interest on the Outstanding Amount will accrue as of the original Due Date). Any other late payments during that same calendar year shall be subject to the imposition of the late charge immediately following the Due Date as set forth above.
9.21 | Additional Rent |
Each and every payment and expenditure, other than Annual Fixed Rent, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent or additional rent hereunder, whether or not the provisions requiring payment of such amounts specifically so state, and shall be payable, unless otherwise provided in this Lease, within ten (10) days after written demand by Landlord, and in the case of the non-payment of any such amount, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies, all the rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or by law in the case of non-payment of Annual Fixed Rent. Unless expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the performance and observance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed and observed by Tenant shall be at Tenants sole cost and expense. In the event that Tenant shall seek Landlords consent or approval under this Lease, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Rent, for all reasonable costs and expenses, including legal and architectural costs and expenses, incurred by Landlord in processing such request, whether or not such consent or approval shall be given.
9.22 | Waiver of Trial by Jury |
To induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, the Tenant hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either Landlord or Tenant on any matters whatsoever arising out of or any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of the Landlord and the Tenant, the Tenants use or occupancy of the premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, including but not limited to, any summary process eviction action.

1.1 | Substantial Completion |
(A) | Plans and Construction Process. |
Landlords Work. Landlord shall perform the work listed on Exhibit B-l annexed hereto (Landlords Work). Landlord shall have no responsibility for the installation or connection of Tenants computer, telephone, other communication equipment, systems or wiring. In addition, it is acknowledged and agreed that Landlord will be performing certain elements of the Landlords Work in the Existing Premises while Tenant is in occupancy thereof, and accordingly Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in good faith to insure that the Landlords Work can be undertaken in an efficient and cost-effective manner and so as to minimize any unreasonable interference with Tenants business operations in the Existing Premises (consistent with the nature of the work being performed).
(B) | Substantial Completion; Tenant Delay. |
(1) | Landlords Obligations. Subject to delays due to Tenant Delays (as hereinafter defined) and delays due to Force Majeure, as defined in Section 6.1 of the Lease, Landlord shall use reasonable speed and diligence to have the Landlords Work substantially completed on or before September 1, 2012 (the Estimated Commencement Date), but Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for failure so to complete construction of Landlords Work in the First Amendment Additional Premises by any particular date provided that Landlord has used reasonable speed and diligence as aforesaid. |
(2) | Definition of Substantial Completion. The First Amendment Additional Premises shall be treated as having been substantially completed and the First Amendment Additional Premises Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the later of: |
(a) | The date on which Landlords Work, together with common facilities for access and services to the First Amendment Additional Premises, has been completed (or would have been completed except for Tenant Delay) except for items of work and adjustment of equipment and fixtures which can be completed after occupancy has been taken without causing substantial interference with Tenants use of the First Amendment Additional Premises (i.e. so-called punch list items); |
(b) | The date when permission has been obtained from the applicable governmental authority, to the extent required by law, for occupancy by Tenant of the First Amendment Additional Premises for the Permitted Use, unless the failure to obtain such permission is due to a Tenant Delay; or |
(c) | September 1, 2012. |
In the event of any dispute as to the date on which Landlords Work has been completed, the reasonable determination of Landlords architect as to such date shall be deemed conclusive and binding on both Landlord and Tenant.
(3) | Incomplete Work. Landlord shall complete as soon as conditions practically permit any incomplete items of Landlords Work, and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in providing access as may be required to complete such work in a normal manner. |
(4) | Early Access by Tenant. Landlord shall permit Tenant access for installing Tenants trade fixtures and telecommunications equipment in portions of the First Amendment Additional Premises prior to substantial completion when it can be done without material interference with remaining work or with the maintenance of harmonious labor relations. Any such access by Tenant shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease (other than the payment of Annual Fixed Rent) and shall be at Tenants sole risk, and Landlord shall not be responsible for any injury to persons or damage to property resulting from such early access by Tenant. |
(C) | Tenant Delay. |
(1) | A Tenant Delay shall be defined as the following: |
(a) | Tenants failure timely to respond to any request from Landlord, Landlords architect, Landlords contractor and/or Landlords Construction Representative; |
(b) | Any delay due to items of work for which there is long lead time in obtaining the materials therefor or which are specially or specifically manufactured, produced or milled for the work in or to the First Amendment Additional Premises and require additional time for receipt or installation; |
(c) | Any delay due to changes, alterations or additions required or made by Tenant with respect to items not described on Exhibit B-l; or |
(d) | Any other delays caused by Tenant, Tenants contractors, architects, engineers, or anyone else engaged by Tenant in connection with the preparation of the First Amendment Additional Premises for Tenants occupancy, including, without limitation, utility companies and other entities furnishing communications, data processing or other service, equipment, or furniture. |
(2) | Tenant Obligations with Respect to Tenant Delays. |
(a) | Tenant covenants that no Tenant Delay shall delay commencement of the Term with respect to the First Amendment Additional Premises or the obligation to pay Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent with respect to the First Amendment Additional Premises and/or the Existing Premises, regardless of the reason for such Tenant Delay or whether or not it is within the control of Tenant or any such employee. Landlords Work shall be deemed substantially completed as of the date when Landlords Work would have been substantially completed but for any Tenant Delays, as determined by Landlord in the exercise of its good faith business judgment. |
(b) | Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the amount, if any, by which the cost of Landlords Work is increased as the result of any Tenant Delay. |
(c) | Any amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under this Section 1.1(C)(2) shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of billing therefor, and shall be considered to be Additional Rent. Nothing contained in this Section 1.1 (C)(2) shall limit or qualify or prejudice any other covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease. |
1.2 | Quality and Performance of Work |
The provisions of Section 1.2 of Exhibit B-l to the Lease shall apply with respect to the Landlords Work in the First Amendment Additional Premises as if such work were the work described in said Exhibit B-l to the Lease.
