financing charges incurred in connection therewith (not to exceed ten percent (10%)), provided that such costs shall be amortized
over the useful life of the improvements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and only the portion attributable
to the calendar year shall be included in Operating Expenses for the calendar year, except that no portion thereof which is attributable
to any capital improvement which is completed at any time prior to the expiration of the Base Year shall be included in Operating
Expenses for any calendar year (including, but not limited to, the Base Year); further provided, that such expenditures shall
be limited to (a) improvements or building elements added to the Building which in Landlord’s reasonable judgment will increase
the efficiency of the Building (i.e., are reasonably anticipated by Landlord, based upon an analysis and recommendation from an
unaffiliated third party engineer or other professional consultant, to reduce Operating Expenses as they relate to the item which
is the subject of the capital expenditure or to reduce the rate of increase in the Operating Expense which relates to the item
which is the subject of the capital expenditure from what it otherwise may have been reasonably anticipated to be in the absence
of such capital expenditure (a “Cost Saving Capital Improvement”)), provided that the amortization (principal plus
interest) of any such Cost Saving Capital Improvement is reasonably anticipated to be less than the anticipated savings resulting
from such increased efficiency as reasonably anticipated by Landlord, based on an analysis and recommendation from a third party
engineer or other professional consultant, and (b) improvements or replacements which are required to comply with the requirements
of any laws, regulations, or insurance or utility requirements. Operating Expenses shall not include: (i) Real Estate Tax
Expenses; (ii) payments of principal and interest on any Mortgages; (iii) leasing commissions; (iv) costs of preparing,
improving or altering any space in preparation for occupancy of any new or renewal tenant; (v) capital expenditures, except as
specified above; (vi) the costs of special services and utilities separately paid by particular tenants of the Building (including,
but not limited to, any services or utilities paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease, which costs shall
be excluded from Operating Expenses); (vii) costs which are reimbursed to Landlord by insurers or by governmental authorities
in eminent domain proceedings; (viii) advertising for vacant space in the Building; (ix) costs of any equipment , services or
utilities which are provided solely to one or more retail tenants of the Building; (x) wages, salaries and benefits paid to any
persons not directly involved with the management of the Building or the oversight thereof above the level of portfolio manager;
(xi) judgments against Landlord or the Building and costs relating to (1) disputes with third parties including Tenant, tenants,
prospective tenants or other occupants of the Building, (2) disputes with purchasers, prospective purchasers, mortgagees or prospective
mortgagees of the Building or the Property, or (3) negotiations of leases, contracts of sale or mortgages; (xii) costs in the
nature of penalties or fines if Tenant is then current in the payment of all Rent due under this Lease; (xiii) costs for services,
supplies or repairs paid to any related entity in excess of costs that would be payable in an “arm’s length”
or unrelated situation for comparable services, supplies or repairs; (xiv) allowances, concessions or other costs and expenses
of improving or decorating any demised or demisable space in the Building; (xv) any costs or expenses (including fines, interest,
penalties and legal fees) arising out of Landlord’s or any other tenant’s breach of any lease, including this Lease
or Landlord’s failure to timely pay operating expenses or real estate taxes if Tenant is then current in the payment of
all Rent due under this Lease; (xvi) costs incurred in connection with the survey, testing, removal, encapsulation, remediation
or other treatment of asbestos or any other hazardous materials at the building or elsewhere; (xvii) any costs actually reimbursed
under any service contracts or under the warranty of any general contractor, subcontractor or supplier and realized by Landlord;
(xviii) reserves for repairs, maintenance, and replacements except in the year spent for Operating Expenses which are incurred
as permitted under this Lease; and (xix) costs of repairs incurred by reason of fire (other than for any reasonable deductible)
or other casualty or condemnation. In the event that, during any calendar year or portion thereof during the Term, Landlord shall
furnish any utility or service which is included in the definition of Operating Expenses to less than one hundred percent (100%)
of the rentable area of the Building because (i) less than all of the rentable area of the Building is occupied, (ii) any
such utility or service is not desired or required by any tenant, or (iii) any tenant is itself obtaining or providing any
such utility or service, then the Operating Expenses for such calendar year shall be increased to equal the total expenses that
Landlord reasonably estimates it would have incurred if Landlord had provided all such utilities and services to one hundred percent
(100%) of the rentable area of the Building for the entire calendar year. For example, if the average occupancy rate of the Building
during a calendar year is eighty percent (80%), the janitorial contractor's charges are $1.00 per occupied rentable square foot
per year, and the Building contains one hundred thousand (100,000) rentable square feet of space, then it would be reasonable
for Landlord to estimate that, if the Building had been one hundred percent (100%) occupied during the entire calendar year, janitorial
charges for such calendar year would have been One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and to compute the Operating Expenses for
such calendar year accordingly. In no event shall the provisions of this paragraph be used to enable Landlord to collect from
the tenants of the Building more than one hundred percent (100%) of the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in managing, operating
and maintaining the Building and the Land.

Report in order for Landlord to deliver the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition, then (1) Landlord shall deliver the Premises
to Tenant together with a notice (the “Delivery Notice”) of the remaining items described on the Engineering Report

Tenant’s satisfaction as to the condition of the same but for the items set forth in Landlord’s Delivery Notice and
any latent defects of which Landlord is notified by Tenant within six (6) months following the delivery of the Premises to Tenant,
(4) Landlord shall be obligated to perform such maintenance, repairs and replacements which are required in order to put the Premises
into Delivery Condition, which work shall be performed by Landlord diligently to completion as soon as practicable after delivery
of the Premises to Tenant, (5) Landlord will notify Tenant when the Premises is in Delivery Condition, and (6) Landlord and Tenant

shall have no obligation to make any improvements or alterations to the Premises. Landlord shall solely bear the cost of compliance
for the Common Area base Building restrooms, all Common Area base Building stairwells, all elevators serving the Building, and

Subject to the Free
Rent Period described herein, Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord in equal monthly installments ("Monthly Base Rent")
in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Term, without notice, except that the first monthly installment of
Base Rent shall be paid upon execution of this Lease. If the Lease Commencement Date occurs on a date other than the first day
of a calendar month, Tenant shall receive a credit equal to the Monthly Base Rent multiplied by the number of days in said calendar
month prior to the Lease Commencement Date and divided by the number of days in such month, which credit shall be applied toward
the installment of Monthly Base Rent next due hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall grant to Tenant a “rent
holiday” from the payment of the installments of Monthly Base Rent for the period of time (the “Free Rent Period”)
commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and ending on November 30, 2017. During such Free Rent Period, the Monthly Base Rent
shall be abated (such rental abatement being hereinafter referred to as the “Free Rent Allowance”); provided, however,
that (i) the Free Rent Period and the granting of the Free Rent Allowance as provided hereunder shall not affect the Lease Commencement
Date pursuant to Section 2.A. hereof, (ii) Tenant shall remain obligated during the Free Rent Period to perform all of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease except as expressly aforesaid (including, but not limited to, the payment of all Additional Rent coming
due under this Lease), and (iii) in the event of any termination of this Lease by Landlord based upon a Default hereunder by Tenant,
the unamortized portion of Base Rent which would have otherwise been due and payable hereunder during the Free Rent Period in the
absence of the Free Rent Allowance shall immediately become due and payable and any remaining Free Rent Allowance hereunder shall
be of no force or effect. As used herein, the term “Rent Commencement Date” shall mean the day immediately succeeding
the expiration of the Free Rent Period (i.e., December 1, 2017).


 


B.    Payment:
All Base Rent and Additional Rent due and payable to Landlord under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord at the Landlord Payment
Address. Payments of Rent (other than in cash), if initially dishonored, shall not be considered rendered until ultimately honored
as cash by Landlord's depository. Except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Lease, Tenant will pay all Rent to Landlord without
demand, deduction, set-off or counter-claim. If any sum payable by Tenant under this Lease is paid by check which is returned due
to insufficient funds, stop payment order, or otherwise, then: (a) such event shall be treated as a failure to pay such sum when
due; and (b) in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled (i) to impose, as Additional
Rent, a returned check charge of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) to cover Landlord's administrative expenses and overhead for processing,
and (ii) to require that all future payments be remitted by wire transfer, money order, or cashier's or certified check.


 


C.    Late Fee:
If Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent on or before the date when payment is due, then Tenant also shall pay to Landlord a
late fee equal to five percent (5%) of the amount that is past due for each month or part thereof until such Rent is fully paid.
Said late fee shall be deemed reimbursement to Landlord for its costs of carrying and processing Tenant's delinquent account. Acceptance
by Landlord of said late fee shall not waive or release any other rights or remedies to which Landlord may be entitled on account
of such late payment.


 


D.    REIT/UBTI:
Landlord and Tenant agree that no rental or other payment for the use or occupancy of the Premises is or shall be based in whole
or in part on the net income or profits derived by any person or entity from the Building or the Premises. Tenant further agrees
that it will not enter into any sublease, license, concession or other agreement for any use or occupancy of the Premises which
provides for a rental or other payment for such use or occupancy based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived
by any person or entity from the Premises so leased, used or occupied. Nothing in the foregoing sentence, however, shall be construed
as permitting or constituting Landlord's approval of any sublease, license, concession, or other use or occupancy agreement not
otherwise approved by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 23 of this Lease.

		5.	ADDITIONAL RENT.



 


A.    Sales, Use
or Other Taxes or Traffic Mitigation Charges: If during the Term any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Building
or the Land levies, assesses or imposes any traffic mitigation charge or any tax on Landlord, the Premises, the Building or the
Land or the rents payable hereunder, in the nature of a sales tax, use tax or any tax except (i) taxes on Landlord's income,
(ii) estate or inheritance taxes, or (iii) Real Estate Tax Expenses, then Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of
any such tax or traffic mitigation charge to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant of notice of the amount
of such tax or traffic mitigation charge.


 


B.    To Cover
Operating and Real Estate Tax Expenses:


 


(1)Definitions:
As used herein, "Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses" shall be that percentage of Operating Expenses which is the equivalent
of the number of square feet of rentable area in the Premises (147,051 on the Lease Commencement Date) divided by the number of
square feet of rentable area in the Building (147,051 on the Lease Commencement Date) (i.e., 100%). As used herein, "Tenant's
Share of Real Estate Tax Expenses" shall be that percentage of Real Estate Tax Expenses which is equivalent to the number
of square feet of rentable area in the Premises (147,051 on the Lease Commencement Date) divided by the number of square feet of
rentable area in the Building (147,051 on the Lease Commencement Date) (i.e., 100%). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Subsection 5.B.(1), in determining Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for any calendar year, the portion of Operating
Expenses for such calendar year which constitute Controllable Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) shall not exceed one
hundred six percent (106%) of the amount of Controllable Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) for the immediately preceding
calendar year (the “Controllable Operating Expenses Cap”). As used herein, “Controllable Operating Expenses”
shall mean all Operating Expenses except for the following: (i) license and permit fees of any nature; (ii) utility company charges;
(iii) insurance premiums (provided that Landlord obtains annual bids for any insurance policies); (iv) the cost to remove snow
and ice; and (v) costs of compliance with governmental requirements.


 


(2)Payment of
Tenant's Share: In addition to all other Rent set forth herein, commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, and for each calendar
year during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent an amount equal to Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and
an amount equal to Tenant's Share of Real Estate Tax Expenses.


 


C.    Statements:


 


(1)For the calendar
year which includes the Rent Commencement Date and for each calendar year thereafter during the Term, Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant a statement estimating Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Tax Expenses for such
calendar year, which Tenant shall pay in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month during each
calendar year. Tenant shall continue to pay such estimated Tenant’s Share of Operating and Tenant’s Share of Real Estate
Tax Expenses until Tenant receives the next such statement from Landlord, at which time Tenant shall commence making monthly payments
pursuant to Landlord's new statement. With the first payment of Additional Rent herein which is due at least fifteen (15) days
after Tenant's receipt of a statement from Landlord specifying Tenant's Share of Operating and Tenant’s Share of the estimate
of Real Estate Tax Expenses payable during the calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference between Tenant’s monthly share
of such sums for the preceding months of the calendar year and the monthly installments which Tenant has actually paid for said
preceding months.


 




    	 	11	 



     


    

 


D.    Retroactive
Adjustments: After the end of the calendar year which includes the Rent Commencement Date and after the end of each calendar
year thereafter during the Term, Landlord shall determine the actual Operating Expenses and Real Estate Tax Expenses for such calendar
year, Landlord shall calculate the foregoing sums and Landlord shall provide to Tenant a statement of Tenant's Share of Operating
Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Tax Expenses for the calendar year. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of
any such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) any deficiency between the amount shown as Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses
for the calendar year and the estimated payments thereof made by Tenant and (ii) any deficiency between the amount shown as Tenant’s
Share of Real Estate Tax Expenses for the calendar year and the estimated payments thereof made by Tenant. Tenant shall be credited
with any excess estimated payments toward subsequent Rent payments by Tenant.


 


E.    Change In
or Contest of Taxes: In the event of any change by any taxing body in the period or manner in which any of the Real Estate
Tax Expenses are levied, assessed or imposed, Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to make equitable adjustments
with respect to computing increases in Real Estate Tax Expenses. Real Estate Tax Expenses which are being contested by Landlord
shall be included in computing Tenant's Share of Real Estate Tax Expenses under this Section 5, but if Tenant shall have paid Rent
on account of contested Real Estate Tax Expenses and Landlord thereafter receives a refund of such taxes, Tenant shall receive
a credit toward subsequent Rent payments in an amount equal to Tenant's proportionate share of such refund.


 


F.    Audit Rights:
Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to retain a Qualified Consultant (as hereinafter defined), to examine the
books and records of Landlord relating to the Building upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice and at reasonable times
during normal business hours, so that Tenant can determine that Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share
of Real Estate Tax Expenses have, in fact, been paid or incurred and accurately applied by Landlord. Unless Tenant shall give Landlord
a notice objecting to the Landlord’s statement and specifying the respects in which such statement is claimed to be incorrect
within ninety (90) days after its receipt of such statement, the statement shall be considered to be final and accepted by Tenant.
If Tenant disputes any such statement, Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent set forth therein as a condition precedent to its right
to contest the same without prejudice to Tenant’s position. The term “Qualified Consultant” shall mean an independent,
certified public accounting firm or auditing firm, or another qualified third-party consultant which has significant experience
in the field of pass-through audits for commercial office buildings in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and which firm or
consultant is reasonably approved by Landlord and is retained by Tenant on other than a contingent fee basis.


 




    	 	12	 



     


    

 


G.    Arbitration:
Any statement provided to Tenant by Landlord pursuant to this Section 5 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless, within
ninety (90) days after receipt thereof (provided, that, Landlord permits Tenant to access the books and records in accordance with
Section 5.L. above), Tenant notifies Landlord of the respects in which the statement is claimed to be incorrect. Unless otherwise
mutually agreed, any such dispute pertaining to statements delivered pursuant to this Section 5 shall be determined by arbitration
in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located, in accordance with the then current commercial rules of the American Arbitration
Association. The costs of the arbitration shall be divided equally between Landlord and Tenant, except that each party shall bear
the cost of its own legal fees, unless the arbitration results in a determination that Landlord's statement contained a discrepancy
of less than five percent (5%) in Landlord's favor, in which event Tenant shall bear all costs incurred in connection with such
arbitration, including, without limitation, legal fees. Pending determination of any dispute, Tenant shall pay all amounts due
pursuant to the disputed statement, but such payments shall be without prejudice to Tenant's position. Upon at least fifteen (15)
days' notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have reasonable access during normal business hours and at Tenant's expense, to appropriate
books and records of Landlord relating to the amount of expenses covered by the disputed statement, for the purpose of verifying
the statement. Any such review shall be made only by Tenant's employees and/or by an auditor hired by Tenant who is a Certified
Public Accountant and who is employed on other than a contingent fee basis.


 


H.    Tenant’s
Personal Property: If any taxes on Tenant’s Personal Property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property,
or if the assessed valuation of the Building is increased by a value attributable to improvements, alterations or equipment in
the Premises, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof,
higher than the base valuation on which Landlord reasonably estimates it would otherwise from time-to-time allocate Real Estate
Tax Expenses at the Building, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Real Estate Tax Expenses. Landlord’s
determination of any excess assessed valuation shall be binding and conclusive, absent manifest error. The amount of any such payment
by Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor.


 


		6.	USE; ADA COMPLIANCE.



 


A.    Permitted
Use: Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises solely for general (non-governmental) office, research, development, laboratory,
warehousing, manufacturing, and any other lawful purpose which is in keeping with Tenant’s normal business and is suitable
to office, laboratory and manufacturing buildings in the Gaithersburg life sciences submarket and in accordance with all applicable
Laws, and for no other purpose.


 


B.    Legal and
Other Restrictions of Tenant's Use: Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises for any unlawful purpose, or in any manner
that will violate the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building or that will constitute waste, nuisance or unreasonable
annoyance to Landlord or any other tenant or user of the Building, or in any manner that will increase the number of parking spaces
required for the Building or its full occupancy as required by law. Tenant shall comply with all present and future laws (including,
without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as the
same may be amended from time to time), ordinances (including without limitation, zoning ordinances and land use requirements),
regulations, orders and recommendations (including, without limitation, those made by any public or private agency having authority
over insurance rates) (collectively, "Laws") concerning the use, occupancy and condition of the Premises and all machinery,
equipment, furnishings, fixtures and improvements therein, all of which shall be complied with in a timely manner at Tenant's sole
expense. If any such Law requires an occupancy or use permit or license for the Premises or the operation of the business conducted
therein (including a certificate of occupancy or nonresidential use permit), then Tenant shall obtain and keep current such permit
or license at Tenant's expense and shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to Landlord. Use of the Premises is subject to all covenants,
conditions and restrictions of record. Tenant shall not use any space in the Building for the sale of goods to the public at large
or for the sale at auction of goods or property of any kind.


 




    	 	13	 



     


    

 


C.    ADA Compliance:
Landlord hereby warrants that to the best of its knowledge without investigation, the Common Area base Building restrooms all
Common Area base Building stairwells, all elevators serving the Building and all points of ingress and egress of the exterior of
the Building are in compliance with the ADA as of the Lease Commencement Date, but after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall
be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for compliance of the Building with the ADA (including, but not limited to, with
respect to any Alterations to the Building, special needs of any of Tenant’s personnel and new or changed interpretations
of, or amendments of, the ADA, as it existed as of the Lease Commencement Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible for ensuring the Premises complies with Laws if and to the extent that the violation
existed prior to the date Tenant is given possession of the applicable Premises and such violation did not result from any action
of Tenant or from Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises.


 


		7.	CARE OF PREMISES; LANDLORD'S OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN BASE
BUILDING.



 


A.    Tenant’s
Maintenance Obligations; HVAC Maintenance. Tenant shall at its expense keep the Premises (including all improvements, fixtures
and other property located therein) in a neat and clean condition and in good order and repair, and will suffer no waste or injury
thereto (subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty and condemnation excepted). Tenant shall maintain all fixtures, furnishings
and equipment located in, or serving, the Premises in clean, safe and sanitary condition, shall take good care thereof and make
all required repairs and replacements thereto, in a manner at least equal to the manner in which maintenance is performed in comparable
buildings in Gaithersburg, Maryland, taking into account the size, age, location and method of construction of such buildings (“Comparable
Buildings”), and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with all manufacturers recommendations so as not to void any warranty
then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall maintain all of the Existing FF&E that is retained by Tenant in
substantially the same condition as it is in on the Lease Commencement Date (subject to ordinary wear and tear and casualty and
condemnation). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain
in a manner in which such maintenance is performed in Comparable Buildings, and promptly make all repairs and replacements (subject
to Section 7.B below) to, any Base Building HVAC and any Additional HVAC Equipment, and in accordance with all manufacturers recommendations
so as not to void any warranty. Tenant shall maintain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a maintenance contract on the Base
Building HVAC and any Additional HVAC Equipment in or serving the Premises. Such contract shall be with a contractor licensed to
do business in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located and approved by Landlord, and shall cover all parts and labor.
From time to time, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide copies of all maintenance and service contracts to Landlord.
In addition, Landlord reserves the right to establish a regular inspection and maintenance program for all equipment maintained
by Tenant and, after notifying Tenant of the need for repairs and Tenant’s failure to do so within five (5) business days
after notice (or such shorter period of time as may be required in Landlord’s commercially reasonable judgment in order to
protect the Building, the Land, any property located thereon, or the health and safety of the occupants thereof), to provide all
necessary or appropriate maintenance and repairs at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of
any defects or damage to the structure of, or equipment or fixtures in, the Building or any part thereof. Tenant shall surrender
the Premises at the end of the Term in as good order and condition as they were in on the Lease Commencement Date, ordinary wear
and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted.


 




    	 	14	 



     


    

 


B.    Landlord’s
Obligation to Maintain Base Building: Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the structural portions
of the Building (including, but not limited to, exterior demising walls, foundation, windows, roof and parking areas that form
a part of the Building) and the Base Building Systems (but not the Base Building HVAC, which shall be the responsibility of Tenant)
to a standard which is at least equal to the standard of maintenance in Comparable Buildings, and shall make such repairs thereto
as become necessary as expeditiously as circumstances permit after obtaining actual notice of the need for such repairs, all costs
of which shall be included in Operating Expenses to the extent the same constitute Operating Expenses, unless the need for any
such maintenance or repair is brought about by any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees, in which event
such repairs shall be made by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event that the entire Base Building HVAC
existing on the Lease Commencement Date or any components thereof require replacements (as opposed to repairs), based upon ordinary
wear and tear and not as the result of Tenant’s failure to maintain the same in accordance with Tenant’s obligations
set forth in Section 7.A above, then Landlord shall make such replacements and the costs thereof shall be included in Operating
Expenses to the extent permitted by Section 1.BB. above. Landlord shall have no duty to Tenant to maintain or to make any repairs
or improvements to the Premises except as provided herein, and Landlord shall have no duty to maintain, repair or replace either
(i) Additional HVAC Equipment or (ii) any Base Building HVAC which is upgraded or modified by or at the request of Tenant following
the Lease Commencement Date.


 


		8.	ALTERATIONS BY TENANT.



 


A.    Making of
Alterations; Landlord's Consent: Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any Alterations without the prior written consent
of Landlord both as to whether the Alterations may be made and as to how and when they will be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any non-structural Alteration which Tenant may desire to make to the Premises;
provided, however, that Landlord shall retain sole and absolute discretion to withhold its consent to any Alteration, whether structural
or non-structural, which may, in the sole and absolute judgment of Landlord (1) adversely affect the marketability of the Premises,
(2) exceed the capacity of, hinder the effectiveness of, interfere with the electrical, mechanical, heating, ventilating, air conditioning,
or plumbing systems of the Premises or the Building or which will be connected to any of such systems, or (3) be visible from outside
the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, after providing at least ten (10) days prior written
notice to Landlord, but without the necessity of obtaining Landlord’s consent, to recarpet, repaint, or to make purely “cosmetic”
or “decorative” nonstructural Alterations in and to the Premises that (I) do not fall within clauses (1) through (3)
above, (II) do not require the issuance of a building permit, and (III) do not cost more than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00).


 




    	 	15	 



     


    

 


Any Alterations shall
be made at Tenant's expense, by its contractors and subcontractors in a good, workmanlike and first-class manner, and in accordance
with the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit G and complete plans and specifications approved in advance in writing
by Landlord, and only after Tenant: (i) has obtained all necessary permits from governmental authorities having jurisdiction
and has furnished copies thereof to Landlord, (ii) has submitted to Landlord an architect's certificate that the Alterations
will conform to all applicable Laws, and (iii) has complied with all other requirements reasonably imposed by Landlord, including,
without limitation, any requirements due to the underwriting guidelines of Landlord's insurance carriers. Landlord's consent to
any Alterations and approval of any plans and specifications constitutes approval of no more than the concept of these Alterations
and not a representation or warranty with respect to the quality or functioning of such Alterations, plans and specifications.
Tenant shall be and is solely responsible for the Alterations and for the proper integration thereof with the Building, the Building's
systems and existing conditions. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to supervise the making of any Alterations.
All Alterations involving structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing work, lab equipment or fixtures, the heating, ventilation
and air conditioning system of the Premises or the Building, and the roof of the Building, shall, at Landlord's election, be performed
by Landlord's designated contractor or subcontractor at Tenant's expense. If Landlord performs such work, Landlord's property manager
shall be paid Additional Rent in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cost of such work, or (b) Landlord does not perform
such work, Landlord’s property manager shall be paid Additional Rent in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the cost of
such work, plus, in either event, plus, in either case, the actual out-of-pocket costs third-party fees incurred by Landlord’s
construction manager. If any Alterations which require Landlord’s approval are made without the prior written consent of
Landlord, or which do not conform to plans and specifications approved by Landlord or to other conditions imposed by Landlord pursuant
to this Section 8, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, correct or remove such Alterations at Tenant's expense. Following completion
of any Alterations, except with respect to cosmetic or decorative nonstructural Alterations which do not require Landlord’s
approval, at Landlord's request, Tenant either shall deliver to Landlord a complete set of "as built" plans showing the
Alterations or shall reimburse Landlord for any expense incurred by Landlord in causing the Building plans to be modified to reflect
the Alterations.


 




    	 	16	 



     


    

 


B.    No Liens:
Tenant shall take all commercially reasonable steps to ensure that no mechanic's or materialmen's liens are filed against the Premises,
the Building or the Land as a result of any Alterations made by the Tenant. If any mechanic's lien is filed, Tenant shall discharge
the lien within ten (10) days thereafter, at Tenant's expense, by paying off or bonding the lien. If Landlord gives its consent
to the making of any Alteration, such consent shall not be deemed to be an agreement or consent by Landlord to subject its interest
in the Premises or the Building to any liens which may be filed in connection therewith, nor shall Landlord’s receipt of
any fee in connection with any Alterations or Tenant’s Work or Landlord’s payment of any allowance to Tenant with respect
to any work performed in or with respect to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant be deemed to constitute a basis for Landlord’s
interest in the Premises or the Building to be subjected to any lien. If Tenant shall lease or finance the acquisition of equipment,
furnishings, or personal property of a removable nature utilized by Tenant in the operation of Tenant’s business, Tenant
warrants that any Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement filed as a matter of public record by any lessor or creditor of Tenant
will upon its face or by exhibit thereto indicate that such Financing Statement is applicable only to removable personal property
of Tenant located within the Premises. In no event shall the address of the Building be furnished on the statement without qualifying
language as to the applicability of the lien only to removable personal property, located in an identified suite leased by Tenant.


 


		9.	EQUIPMENT.



 


A.Permitted
Equipment; Utilities: From and after the Lease Commencement Date, all electrical consumption and any other utilities used in
the Premises (including, but not limited to, all costs of providing heating and air conditioning to the Premises) shall be separately
metered by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall timely pay the full amount of the costs of such consumption
directly to the providers thereof as and when the same become due and payable. Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance,
repair and, if applicable, replacement of the aforesaid meters, all of which shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense; provided, however, that in the event that the meters require maintenance, repair or replacement and Tenant does not perform
same within thirty (30) days following notice from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to perform such maintenance, repair
or replacement, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs thereof, including, but not limited to, an administrative
fee to Landlord in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such costs, which reimbursement shall be made by Tenant to Landlord
within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor to Tenant. In the event that any utilities utilized
in the Building are not separately metered by Tenant, then any costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be included
in Operating Expenses pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease.


 


B.    [Intentionally
Omitted]


 


C.    Floor Load:
Tenant shall not place any load upon the floor of the Premises which exceeds the per square foot load the floor was designed to
carry (eighty (80) pounds per square foot for live loads and twenty (20) pounds per square foot for dead loads).


 


D.    Additional
HVAC: Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s option, and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install, operate,
maintain, repair and replace one or more supplemental heating and air conditioning units (collectively, “Additional HVAC
Equipment”) in a location or locations to be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant; provided, however,
that (i) Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs of installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of any Additional
HVAC Equipment, (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of operation of such Additional HVAC Equipment (including, but not
limited to, all costs of electrical consumption from such Additional HVAC Equipment), and (iii) Tenant’s installation of
any Additional HVAC Equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval in accordance with the terms and conditions
of Section 8.A. hereof. Tenant shall not remove any existing convector units nor any plumbing in the Building without Landlord’s
prior written consent, which may be withheld or denied in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.


 




    	 	17	 



     


    

 


E.    Generator:
Notwithstanding the forgoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to use (x) the
existing minimum capacity 250 KW generator for life safety systems and (y) the existing 1,500 KW generator with 10,000 gallon diesel
tank for systems backup (collectively, the “Existing Generators”) in accordance with the terms and condition of this
Section 9.E.; provided, however, that Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of maintenance (as performed in accordance with
manufacturer’s recommendations), repair and replacement of the Existing Generators, and (ii) all costs of utilities consumed
by such Existing Generators. Tenant shall comply with the provisions of this Lease and all applicable Laws regarding Tenant’s
use, operation and maintenance of the Existing Generators with respect to noise, vibration, screening and testing, including, but
not limited to, Laws promulgated by Montgomery County, Maryland. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall install separate meter(s)
or submeter(s) to measure the consumption of utilities by the Existing Generators, and Tenant shall be responsible for all costs
associated with the operation, installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of such meter(s) or submeter(s).


 


		10.	OWNERSHIP AND REMOVAL OF PROPERTY.



 


A.    Landlord's
Property: Any Alterations and other improvements and any equipment, machinery, furnishings and other property, installed or
located in the Premises, the Building or the Land by or on behalf of Landlord or Tenant, except for Tenant's Personal Property:
(i) shall immediately become the property of Landlord, and (ii) shall be surrendered to Landlord with the Premises as
a part thereof at the end of the Term; provided, however, that if Landlord requests Tenant to remove any Alterations installed
by or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be removed at Tenant's expense on or before the Lease Expiration Date,
or shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such removal, as elected by Landlord (unless Landlord expressly waives in writing the
right to require such removal at the time Landlord gives its consent to the making of such Alterations).


 


B.    Removal of
Property At End of Term: Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's Personal Property, (provided, however, that Tenant shall not be
required to remove any computer cabling and wiring installed by or on behalf of Tenant, irrespective of whether such cabling and
wiring constitutes Tenant's Personal Property under the terms of this Lease), from the Building and the Land on or before the Lease
Expiration Date. Any personal property belonging to Tenant or to any other person or entity which is left in the Building or on
the Land after the date this Lease is terminated for any reason shall be deemed to have been abandoned. In such event, Landlord
shall have the right to store such property at Tenant's sole cost and/or to dispose of it in whatever manner Landlord considers
appropriate, without waiving its right to claim from Tenant all expenses and damages caused by Tenant's failure to remove such
property, and Tenant and any other person or entity shall have no right to compensation from or any other claim against Landlord
as a result.

		11.	LANDLORD'S ACCESS TO PREMISES.



 


Landlord may, upon
at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice (which notice may be given verbally), during normal business hours, enter the
Premises to examine them, to make alterations or repairs thereto in accordance with Section 7 hereof, or for any other purposes
which Landlord considers necessary or advisable; however, in the case of any emergency, Landlord and its agents may enter the Premises
at any time and in any manner. Tenant shall allow the Premises to be exhibited by Landlord: (i) upon at least twenty-four
(24) hours’ prior notice (which notice may be given verbally), at any reasonable time to representatives of lending institutions
or to prospective purchasers of the Building, and (ii) upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice (which notice
may be given verbally), at any reasonable time during the last twelve (12) months of the Term to persons who may be interested
in leasing the Premises. Upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice, Landlord reserves the right and shall be permitted
reasonable access to the Premises to install facilities within and through the Premises and to install and service any systems
deemed advisable by Landlord to provide services or utilities to any tenant of the Building. In exercising its rights under this
Section 11, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s ordinary business
operations in the Building.


 


		12.	SERVICES AND UTILITIES.



 


A.    Services
Provided by Tenant: From and after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall be responsible for providing the following services,
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and all in a manner which is at least equal to the manner in which such services are provided
by landlords in Comparable Buildings, and Tenant shall contract directly with any third party provider of such services, as necessary:


 


(1)HVAC: Central
heating and air conditioning provided from the Base Building HVAC and any Additional HVAC Equipment.


 


(2)Janitorial:
All janitorial and cleaning and pest and termite control services for the Premises.

B.    Services Provided
by Landlord: From and after the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide the following to Tenant, without additional
charge, except as otherwise provided herein (including, but not limited to, as provided in Sections 5 and 1.BB. hereof):

    	 	19	 



     


    

 


(2)    Access to the
Premises at all times. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, may install an electronic access control system for the Building
("Tenant's Access Control System"); provided, however, that (i) Landlord's access to the Premises shall not be affected
by Tenant's installation of Tenant's Access Control System, and (ii) if Tenant elects to install Tenant's Access Control System,
then Tenant shall use a contractor which has been approved in advance in writing by Landlord in Landlord's reasonable discretion,
to install and maintain Tenant's Access Control System.


 


B.    Failure to
Provide Services: Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant or others based on any failure by Landlord to furnish the foregoing,
due to Unavoidable Delays, repair or maintenance work or any other reason, and such failure shall neither render Landlord liable
for damages to either person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor cause a diminution or abatement of Rent
nor relieve Tenant of any of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the services to be provided
by Landlord pursuant to this Section 12 is suspended and such suspension renders the Premises untenantable and continues for more
than five (5) consecutive business days, if the reason for the suspension or the continuation of the suspension is anything other
than an Unavoidable Delay, all Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent due pursuant to Section 5.B. hereof shall be abated for the
period commencing on the sixth (6th) consecutive business day of such suspension and concluding on the date that the service has
been restored.


 


C.    Conservation:
Tenant hereby agrees to comply with all energy conservation procedures, controls and requirements instituted by Landlord pursuant
to any government regulations or otherwise, including but not limited to controls on the permitted range of temperatures, the volume
of energy consumption or the hours of operation of the Building. Institution by Landlord of such controls and requirements shall
not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to an abatement of any Rent payable hereunder.


 


D.    Recycling:
Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to comply with all present and future
Laws of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located and of the federal, municipal, and local governments, departments, commissions,
agencies and boards having jurisdiction over the Building to the extent that any of them or this Lease impose on Tenant duties
and responsibilities regarding the collection, sorting, separation, and recycling of trash. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses,
fines, penalties, or damages that may be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions
of this Section 12.D., and, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless (including legal
fees and expenses) from and against any actions, claims, and suits arising from such noncompliance, using counsel reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord.


 


		13.	RULES AND REGULATIONS.



 


Tenant shall abide
by and observe the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D and such other rules and regulations as may be made by Landlord
from time to time, provided that such rules and regulations shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease
or materially interfere with Tenant’s ordinary business at the Premises. Nothing contained in this Lease or in any rules
and regulations shall be interpreted to impose upon Landlord any obligations to enforce against any tenant its rules and regulations,
or the provisions of any lease with any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other entity for any violation
of said rules, regulations or lease provisions. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to enforce any rule or regulation in
a manner which unreasonably discriminates among similarly situated tenants.

		14.	REPAIR OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY TENANT: INDEMNIFICATION.



 


A.    Repairs:
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease and subject to the mutual waiver of subrogation in Section 17 of this Lease,
all injury, breakage and damage to the Land, the Building or the Premises, caused by any act or omission of Tenant shall be repaired
by and at the sole expense of Tenant, except Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to make such repairs and to charge Tenant
for all actual costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (without mark-up) as Additional Rent payable within ten (10)
days after the rendering of a bill therefor. Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly of any injury, breakage or damage to the Land,
the Building, or the Premises caused by Tenant.


 


B.    Indemnification:
Subject to the mutual waiver of subrogation in Section 17 of this Lease, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
from and against all costs, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys' fees, suffered by or claimed against
Landlord, directly or indirectly (except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord or its
agents, employees or contractors), based on, arising out of or resulting from: (i) Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises
or the business conducted by Tenant therein or Tenant's presence in the Building or on the Land, (ii) the making by Tenant
of any Alterations, (iii) any act or omission of Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees, and (iv) any breach or
default by Tenant in the observance or performance of its covenants and obligations under this Lease.


 


C.    Mutual Waiver
of Consequential Damages: Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary (including, without limitation, any indemnification
provision), in no event shall Landlord, Tenant or any of their members, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, employees,
advisers or agents be responsible for interruption or loss of business, income or profits, or any other consequential, indirect
or special damages, except to the extent of any consequential, indirect or special damages arising from Tenant’s violation
of its obligations set forth in Sections 21 or 36 hereof.


 


		15.	LIMITATION ON LANDLORD LIABILITY.



 


A.    Liability
Standard: Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other individual or entity for any damage, loss or claim whatsoever,
except damages, losses and claims that are the direct result of Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct; however, in
no event shall Landlord be liable for consequential damages or any loss, damage or injury relating to Tenant’s Personal Property,
including without limitation, Tenant’s Installations, animals, products, research, experiments, samples, business, accounting
or any other records.


 


B.    Limitation
on Total Liability: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, it is expressly understood and agreed that the total
liability of Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder and/or
Tenant's use of the Premises, shall be limited to the estate of Landlord in the Building. No other property or assets of Landlord
or any partner or owner of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution, or other enforcement proceedings or other judicial process
for the satisfaction of any judgment or any other right or remedy of Tenant arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the
relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder and/or Tenant's use of the Premises.


 




    	 	21	 



     


    

 


		16.	FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY.



 


If the Premises shall
be damaged by fire or other casualty, other than as a result of the negligence or misconduct of Tenant, this Lease shall not terminate
and, upon adjustment of insurance claims, Landlord shall repair the damage, provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to
repair damage to or replace Tenant's Personal Property. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any part of the Premises are rendered
untenantable by reason of any such damage, Rent shall abate from the date of the damage to the date the damage is repaired, as
determined by Landlord, in the proportion that the area of the untenantable part bears from time to time to the total area of the
Premises. No compensation or reduction of Rent shall be paid or allowed for inconvenience, annoyance or injury to Tenant or Tenant's
business arising from any damage to or repair of the Premises or the Building.


 


Tenant, at its expense,
shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, Unavoidable Delay or obtaining approval
from any applicable governmental authority having jurisdiction over Hazardous Materials to restore the Premises (“Hazardous
Material Clearances”), all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly re-enter the Premises
and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease. Provided Tenant fully and promptly cooperates with Landlord, following
written or verbal notice to Tenant, with all reasonable procedures Landlord deems necessary for Landlord to obtain such Hazardous
Materials Clearances, Rent shall be abated from the date of such casualty until the Premises are repaired and restored, in the
proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises, unless
Landlord provides Tenant with other space during the period of repair that is suitable for the temporary conduct of Tenant’s
business. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant and Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease by reason of damage
or casualty loss. If Tenant fails to cooperate as described herein, neither Base Rent nor Additional Rent shall be abated until
the date upon which Landlord is able to obtain such Hazardous Materials Clearances.


 


Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if (1) insurance proceeds are insufficient to pay the full cost of such repair and restoration, (2) the
holder of any Mortgage fails or refuses to make insurance proceeds available for such repair and restoration, (3) zoning or other
applicable Laws do not permit such repair and restoration, or (4) the Building is damaged by fire or casualty (whether or not the
Premises has been damaged) to such an extent that Landlord decides, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to rebuild or reconstruct
the Building, then Landlord, at its option, may give Tenant, within sixty (60) days after the casualty, written notice of termination
of this Lease, and this Lease and the Term shall terminate (whether or not the Term has commenced) upon the expiration of thirty
(30) days from the date of the notice, with the same effect as if the new expiration date had been the Lease Expiration Date, and
all Base Rent and Additional Rent payable pursuant to Section 5 of this Lease shall be apportioned as of such date.


 




    	 	22	 



     


    

 


If the Premises or
the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty due to the negligence or misconduct of Tenant: (i) Landlord shall
have no obligation to repair the Premises or the Building, (ii) this Lease shall, at Landlord's option, not terminate, (iii) Landlord
may at Tenant's expense repair the damage, and (iv) Landlord may pursue any legal and equitable remedies available to it.


 


		17.	INSURANCE.



 


A.    Tenant's
Insurance:


 


(a)    Throughout the
Term, Tenant shall obtain and maintain the following:


 


(1) Commercial General
Liability insurance (written on an ISO occurrence form or equivalent basis) including contractual liability coverage insuring the
obligations assumed by Tenant under this Lease (including those set forth in Sections 14.B. and 36.B.), premises and operations
coverage, broad form property damage coverage and independent contractors coverage, and personal injury with a minimum of Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000) each occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) general aggregate. The policy limits may be obtained
through any combination of primary and excess insurance.


 


(2) Property Insurance
written on a “Special Cause of Loss” form covering Tenant’s business personal property, stock, and, if applicable,
inventory, and leasehold improvements at 100% of the full replacement value written with a commercially reasonable deductible.
Such property insurance shall be in an amount not less than that required to replace all of the original tenant improvements installed
in the Premises pursuant to Exhibit C attached hereto or Section 3 hereof, as applicable, and made a part hereof, all Alterations
and all other contents of the Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant's trade fixtures, decorations, furnishings, equipment
and personal property).


 


(3) [Intentionally
Omitted].


 


(4) Comprehensive automobile
liability insurance (covering automobiles owned by Tenant, if any and hired and non-owned automobiles). Such automobile liability
insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) bodily injury and property damage for each accident.


 


(5) worker's compensation
insurance providing statutory limits as required by the jurisdiction in which the Building is located and employer's liability
insurance with minimum limits of $500,000 each accident, $500,000 each employee-disease and $500,000 policy limit-disease. Such
policy shall provide a waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord.


 




    	 	23	 



     


    

 


(b)    All insurance
carried by Tenant pursuant to Section 17.A.(a) hereof shall: (1) be issued by a company that is licensed to do business in the
jurisdiction in which the Building is located, that has been approved in advance by Landlord and that has a rating equal to or
exceeding A-X from Best's Insurance Guide; (2) name Landlord, the managing agent of the Building and the holder of any Mortgage
as additional insureds providing an Additional Insured – Managers or Lessors of Premises Endorsement (#CG-20-11-01-96 or
equivalent); (3) contain an endorsement that such policy shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that the insured
may have waived its right of action against any party prior to the occurrence of a loss (Tenant hereby waiving its right of action
and recovery against and releasing Landlord and its employees and agents (including, but not limited to, Landlord’s managing
agent) from any and all liabilities, claims and losses for which they may otherwise be liable to the extent Tenant is covered by
insurance carried or would have been covered by insurance it is required to carry under this Lease); (4) provide that the insurer
thereunder waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord, its partners, agents (including, but not limited
to, Landlord’s managing agent), employees, and representatives, in connection with any loss or damage covered by such policy;
(5) be acceptable in form and content to Landlord; (6) be primary and non-contributory; and (7) contain an endorsement for cross
liability and severability of interests. Tenant shall provide Landlord with not less than twenty (20) days prior written notice
of any proposed cancellation, failure to renew, reduction of amount of insurance or change in coverage of any insurance carried
by Tenant pursuant to Section 17.A.(a) hereof. No such policy shall contain any deductible provision except as otherwise approved
in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to require
Tenant to obtain higher minimum amounts or different types of insurance if it becomes customary for other landlords of first-class
office buildings in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area to require similar sized tenants in similar industries to carry insurance
of such higher minimum amounts or of such different types of insurance. Tenant shall deliver a certificate (on Acord Form 27) of
all such insurance and receipts evidencing payment therefor (and, upon request, copies of all required insurance policies, including
endorsements and declarations) to Landlord concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease and at least annually thereafter.
Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice in case of fire, theft or accident in the Premises, and in the case of fire, theft
or accident in the Building if involving Tenant, its agents, employees or Invitees. Neither the issuance of any insurance policy
required under this Lease nor the minimum limits specified herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any way Tenant's liability
arising under or out of this Lease.


 


Except for the indemnification
contained in Section 36.B. hereof with respect to Hazardous Materials, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to the other
or to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage to any building,
structure or other tangible property, or any resulting loss of income, or losses under workers' compensation laws and benefits,
even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of such party or its agents or employees. The provision
of this Section 17.A.(b) shall not limit the indemnification for liability to third parties pursuant to Section 14 hereof. In the
event of a permitted sublease or other occupancy agreement for all or a portion of the Premises, the subtenant or occupant shall
expressly agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 17.A.(b) (as if such subtenant or occupant were Tenant
hereunder) for the benefit of Landlord.


 


B.    Tenant's
Contractor's Insurance


 


Tenant shall require
any contractor of Tenant performing work on the Premises to carry and maintain at no expense to Landlord, a non-deductible:


 




    	 	24	 



     


    

 


(a)       Commercial general
liability insurance policy, including (but not limited to) contractor's liability coverage, contractual liability coverage, completed
operations coverage, broad form property damage endorsement and contractor's protective liability coverage, to afford protection
with respect to personal injury, death or property damage of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence combined
single limit/Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate, with excess umbrella liability insurance of no less than Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence and general aggregate;


 


(b)       Comprehensive
automobile liability insurance policy with a combined single limit for each occurrence of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
with respect to personal injury or death and property damage; and


 


(c)       Worker’s
compensation insurance policy or similar insurance in form and amounts required by law. Such policy
shall provide a waiver of subrogation in favor of Tenant and Landlord.


 


C.    Landlord's
Insurance: Landlord agrees to carry and maintain special cause of loss property insurance (with replacement cost coverage)
covering the Building and Landlord's property therein in an amount required by its insurance company to avoid the application of
any coinsurance provision. Landlord shall secure a waiver of subrogation endorsement from its insurance carrier. Landlord also
agrees to carry and maintain commercial general liability insurance in limits it reasonably deems appropriate based upon coverages
in force with respect to comparable buildings in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.


 


D.    Effect of
Tenant's Activities on Insurance: Tenant shall not conduct or permit to be conducted any activity, or place any equipment in
or about the Land, the Building or the Premises which will increase the rate of, or make void or voidable, any fire or other insurance
maintained or required to be maintained by Landlord or any Mortgagee on the Building, the Land or the property kept thereon or
therein, which will conflict with the provisions of any such insurance policy or which will make it impracticable for Landlord
to obtain insurance covering any risks against which Landlord reasonably deems it advisable to obtain insurance. In the event any
increases in the rates of such insurance are, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, due to Tenant's presence in the Building, to any
activity conducted or property installed or placed by Tenant on or about the Land, the Building or the Premises or to Alterations
installed by Tenant or at Tenant's request, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the amount of such increases promptly upon demand
therefor. Statements by the applicable insurance company or insurance rating bureau that such increases are due to any of Tenant's
activity, property or improvements shall be conclusive for the purposes of determining Tenant's liability hereunder. In the event
Landlord receives notice from any of Landlord's insurance carriers that such carrier intends to cancel its insurance on the Building,
or to increase the cost of such insurance by more than one hundred percent (100%) above the premium payable by Landlord immediately
prior to such notice, due to the activities of Tenant or the presence of Tenant in the Building, then Landlord shall have the right
to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days' notice to Tenant. However, Landlord shall not terminate this Lease in the event
Landlord is able, with good faith efforts, to obtain equivalent insurance from an insurance carrier satisfactory to Landlord at
a premium not more than one hundred percent (100%) greater than the premium for the cancelled insurance; provided that Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all additional premiums charged to Landlord by such new insurance carrier. It is expressly understood that
Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.E. (i) if any cancellation or rate increase
is due to factors generally applicable to the insurance or rental market, rather than to Tenant's activities or presence in the
Building or (ii) if Tenant is conducting only the permitted use pursuant to Section 6.A. of this Lease at the Premises, and such
use is being conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and governmental regulations in accordance with the provisions of
this Lease.


 




    	 	25	 



     


    

 


		18.	CONDEMNATION.



 


A.    Landlord's
Right to Terminate: If a substantial part of the Premises, the Building or the Land is taken or condemned by any governmental
or quasi-governmental authority for any purpose or is granted to any authority in lieu of condemnation (collectively, a "taking"),
Landlord shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, and upon the giving of
such notice, the Term shall terminate as of the date title vests in the authority, and Base Rent and Additional Rent payable pursuant
to Section 5 hereof shall be abated as of that date. For purposes of this Section 18, a substantial part of the Premises, the Land
or the Building shall be considered to have been taken if, in the sole and reasonable opinion of Landlord, the taking shall render
it commercially undesirable for Landlord to permit this Lease to continue or to continue operating the Building.


 


B.    Adjustment
of Rent: If a portion of the Premises is taken and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 18.A.
hereof, then Base Rent and Additional Rent payable pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be equitably adjusted as of the date title
vests in the authority and this Lease shall otherwise continue in full force and effect.


 


C.    Division
of Award: Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord arising out of or related to any taking, or for any portion of the amount
that may be awarded as a result, damages or compensation attributable to damage to the Premises, value of the unexpired portion
of the Term, loss of profits or goodwill, leasehold improvements or severance damages, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all
its rights, title and interest in and to any such award; provided, however, that Tenant may assert any claim it may have against
the authority for compensation for Tenant's Personal Property and for any relocation expenses compensable by statute, as long as
such awards shall be made in addition to and stated separately from the award made for the Land, the Building and the Premises.


 


		19.	DEFAULT.



 


A.    Default of
Tenant: The following events shall be a default by Tenant (a "Default") under this Lease:


 


(1)Failure of Tenant
to pay Rent as and when due; provided, however, that with respect to the first two (2) such failures in any twelve (12) month period
only, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred unless such failure continues for a period of three (3) days after written notice
thereof from Landlord to Tenant.


 


(2)Failure of Tenant
to comply with or perform any covenant or obligation of Tenant under this Lease, if the failure continues for ten (10) days after
notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the failure, other than (i) those concerning the payment of Rent, (ii) those set forth
in any of Sections 8.B., 17, 21, 22, 26, 35, 36 and 38 hereof, as to which a specific timeframe for the performance of such covenant
or obligation is set forth therein, and (iii) any Default arising under subsections (3), (4), (5) or (6) of this Section 19.A;
provided, however, that if the failure on the part of Tenant is not capable of being cured within such 30-day period but Tenant
expeditiously commences to cure same and diligently proceeds with such cure, Tenant’s time to cure such failure shall be
extended for the time necessary to cure same, but in no event longer than ninety (90) days, inclusive of the original 30-day period.


 




    	 	26	 



     


    

 


(3)If, in Landlord's
reasonable opinion, Tenant's activities or presence in the Premises results in a significant, continuing or repeated threat of
physical danger to other tenants and/or users of the Building, whether or not Tenant is capable of controlling such threat.


 


(4)If Tenant, any
Guarantor or, if Tenant is a partnership, any partner of Tenant ("Partner"), shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy
or insolvency, shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent or shall file a petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other Laws,
or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall seek or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver
or liquidator of Tenant or of any Guarantor or Partner or of all or any part of the property of Tenant or of such Guarantor or
Partner.


 


(5)If, within thirty
(30) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant or any Guarantor or Partner, whether by the filing of a petition
or otherwise, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under
any present or future applicable federal, state or other Laws, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed or if, within thirty
(30) days after the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or any Guarantor or Partner, or of all or any
part of the property of Tenant or of any Guarantor or Partner, without the acquiescence of such individual or entity, such appointment
shall not have been vacated or otherwise discharged, or if any execution or attachment shall have been issued against the property
of Tenant or of any Guarantor or Partner, pursuant to which the Premises shall be taken or occupied or attempted to be taken or
occupied.


 


(6)If Tenant fails
to take possession of the Premises on the Lease Commencement Date or vacates, abandons or ceases to carry on its ordinary activities
in the Premises prior to the Lease Expiration Date, with or without an intention of paying Rent; provided, however, that if (i)
Tenant gives Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice that it intends not to occupy the entire Premises or that
it intends to vacate the entire Premises, as applicable, (ii) Tenant pays the full amount of all Rent when due under this Lease
while the Premises are vacant (subject to applicable notice and cure periods in connection with any failure to so timely pay Rent),
and (iii) Tenant continues to maintain the Premises in the condition required by this Lease throughout the remainder of the Term
(subject to applicable notice and cure periods in connection with any failure to so maintain the Premises), then, and in such event
only, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in Default under this Section 19.A.(6).


 


(7)Failure of Tenant
to comply with or perform any covenant or obligation under Sections 8.B., 17, 21, 22, 26, 35, 36 or 38 hereof within the specific
timeframe for the performance of such covenant or obligation set forth in the applicable Section.


 




    	 	27	 



     


    

 


B.    Remedies
Upon Default: Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord shall have the right, then or at any time thereafter:


 


(1)Without demand
or notice, to reenter and take possession of all or any part of the Premises, to expel Tenant and those claiming through Tenant
and to remove any property therein, either by summary proceedings or by any other action at law, in equity or otherwise, with or
without terminating this Lease, without being deemed guilty of trespass and without prejudice to any other remedies of Landlord
for breach of this Lease, and/or


 


(2)To terminate
this Lease by written notice to Tenant, whereupon this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in Landlord's notice, and Tenant's
right to possession of the Premises shall cease as of such date.


 


If Landlord elects
to terminate this Lease, everything contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord to be done shall cease, without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover from Tenant all Rent, as set forth in Sections 19.C. and 19.D. below. If Landlord elects to reenter
pursuant to Section 19 above, Landlord may terminate this Lease, or, from time to time without terminating this Lease, may relet
all or any part of the Premises as the agent of Tenant, for such term, at such rental and upon such other provisions as Landlord
deems acceptable, with the right to make any alterations and repairs to the Premises that Landlord deems appropriate, including
but not limited to restoring the Premises and Building to a condition necessary to comply with FDA regulations and any applicable
Laws such that the Premises and Building may be relet to another tenant without delay due to inability to obtain a permit or certificate
of occupancy, at Tenant's expense. No such reentry or taking of possession of the Premises shall be construed as an election to
terminate this Lease, unless notice of such intention is given pursuant to Subsection B.(2) above, or unless termination be decreed
by a court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of Landlord. Landlord shall in no event be under any obligation to relet any
part of the Premises.


 


C.    Liability
of Tenant: If Landlord terminates this Lease or reenters the Premises (with or without terminating this Lease), Tenant shall
remain liable (in addition to all other liabilities of Tenant accrued at the time of the Default) for the sum of (i) any unpaid
Rent accrued prior to the time of termination and/or reentry, as the case may be, plus interest thereon from the due date at the
Default Rate, (ii) all Base Rent and Additional Rent provided for in this Lease from the time of termination and/or reentry,
as the case may be, until the date this Lease would have expired had a Default not occurred, plus interest thereon from the due
date at the Default Rate, (iii) any and all expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' and brokerage fees) incurred
by Landlord in reentering and repossessing the Premises, in correcting any default, in painting, altering or repairing the Premises
in order to place the Premises in first-class rentable condition (whether or not the Premises are relet), in protecting and preserving
the Premises and in reletting or attempting to relet the Premises, and (iv) any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord
for any other injury or detriment caused by the Default; minus the net proceeds (after deducting any rental abatements,
tenant improvement allowances and other concessions and inducements) actually received by Landlord, if any, from any reletting
to the extent attributable to the period prior to the date this Lease would have expired had a Default not occurred. Landlord shall
have the option to recover any damages sustained by Landlord either at the time of reletting, if any, or in separate actions from
time to time as said damages shall have been made more easily ascertainable by successive relettings or, at Landlord's option,
to defer any such recovery until the date this Lease would have expired in the absence of a Default, in which event Tenant hereby
agrees that the cause of action shall be deemed to have accrued on the aforesaid date. The provisions of this Section 19.C. shall
be in addition to, and shall not prevent the enforcement of, any claim Landlord may have for anticipatory breach of this Lease.


 




    	 	28	 



     


    

 


D.    Liquidated
Damages: In addition to Landlord's rights pursuant to Section 19.C. above, if Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall
have the right at any time, at its sole option, to require Tenant to pay to Landlord on demand, as liquidated damages, the sum
of (i) the total of the Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums which would have been payable under this Lease from
the date of Landlord's demand for liquidated damages ("Landlord's Demand") until the date this Lease would have terminated
in the absence of the Default, discounted to present value at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum (the "Discount Rate"),
(ii) all unpaid Rent accrued prior to the time of Landlord's Demand, plus interest thereon from the due date at the Default
Rate, (iii) any and all actual out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' and brokerage fees)
incurred by Landlord in reentering and repossessing the Premises, in correcting any default, in painting, altering or repairing
the Premises in order to place the Premises in first-class rentable condition (whether or not the Premises are relet), in protecting
and preserving the Premises and in reletting or attempting to relet the Premises, and (iv) any other amounts necessary to
compensate Landlord for any other injury or detriment caused by the Default; minus the sum of (a) the net fair market rental
value of the Premises for the period referred to in Section 19.D.(i) above, discounted to present value at the Discount Rate,
and (b) any sums actually paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Subsection C. above; provided, however, that if said damages shall
be limited by law to a lesser amount, Landlord shall be entitled to recover the maximum amount permitted by law. The "net
fair market rental value" referred to in Section 19.D.(a) above shall be the fair market rental value of the Premises at the
time of Landlord's Demand, reduced by any rental abatements, tenant improvement allowances and other concessions and inducements
generally provided by landlords seeking to lease comparable commercial property in the area of the Premises at the time of Landlord's
Demand. If reletting is accomplished within a reasonable time after Lease termination, the "net fair market rental value"
referred to in Section 19.D.(a) above shall be deemed prima facie to be the net rental income (after deducting any rental
abatements, tenant improvement allowances and other concessions and inducements) realized upon such reletting.


 


E.    Waiver:
Upon Landlord’s exercise of its right to terminate this Lease, Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons and
entities claiming through Tenant, including but not limited to creditors of Tenant, hereby waives any and all rights and privileges
which Tenant and such other persons and entities might otherwise have under any present or future Laws: (i) to redeem the
Premises, (ii) to reenter or repossess the Premises, or (iii) to restore the operation of this Lease, with respect to
any dispossession of Tenant by judgment or warrant of any court, any reentry by Landlord or any expiration or termination of this
Lease, whether by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. Tenant hereby expressly waives receipt of any notice
to quit.


 


F.    Right of
Distress: Landlord shall, to the extent permitted by law, have a right of distress for Rent.


 




    	 	29	 



     


    

 


G.    Right of
Landlord to Cure: If Tenant defaults in the making of any payment or in the doing of any act required to be made or done by
Tenant under this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option, make such payment or do such act, and the expenses thereof, with interest
thereon at the Default Rate, from the date paid by Landlord, shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder due and payable by Tenant
with the next payment of Monthly Base Rent.


 


H.    Attorneys'
Fees: In the event of any Default by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord
in connection with such Default or the enforcement of Landlord's rights or remedies arising in connection therewith, whether or
not this Lease is terminated and whether or not Landlord institutes any lawsuit against Tenant as a result of such Default. In
addition to the foregoing, whether or not this Lease is terminated, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all other costs incurred by Landlord
with respect to any lawsuit instituted or action taken by Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Lease, unless it is determined
that Landlord is not entitled to any of the relief sought in such lawsuit, based upon the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction
that is unappealable (i.e., the timeframe for filing appeals has expired, without an appeal having been filed, or if an appeal
has been filed, such appeal has been finally resolved). In the event that Tenant initiates litigation against Landlord based upon
an alleged default by Landlord under this Lease, and Tenant is the prevailing party in such litigation based upon a judgment by
a court of competent jurisdiction that Landlord is in default hereunder, then, after the date upon which such judicial order becomes
unappealable (i.e., the timeframe for filing appeals has expired, without an appeal having been filed, or if an appeal has been
filed, such appeal has been finally resolved), Landlord shall pay to Tenant all reasonable attorneys’ fees.


 


I.    Survival:
Tenant's liability pursuant to this Section 19 shall survive the termination of this Lease, the institution of summary proceedings
and/or the issuance of a warrant thereunder.


 


		20.	NO WAIVER.



 


No failure or delay
by Landlord in enforcing its right to strict performance by Tenant of every provision of this Lease or in exercising any right
or remedy hereunder, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial rent during the continuance of any Default, shall constitute
a waiver of the provision or the Default, and no provision shall be waived or modified except by a written instrument executed
by Landlord. No payment by Tenant, or receipt by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the full Rent shall be deemed to be other than
a payment on account, notwithstanding any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any payment of any Rent.
No waiver of any Default or settlement of any proceeding instituted on account of any claimed Default shall affect or alter this
Lease or constitute a waiver of any of Landlord's rights hereunder. No failure or delay by Tenant in enforcing its right to strict
performance by Landlord of every provision of this Lease or in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver
of the provision or a default, and no provision shall be waived or modified except by a written instrument executed by Tenant.


 




    	 	30	 



     


    

 


		21.	HOLDING OVER.



 


If Tenant shall be
in possession of the Premises after termination of this Lease (whether by normal expiration of the Term or otherwise), at Landlord's
option: (i) Landlord may deem Tenant to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, at the sum of two hundred
fifty percent (250%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect for the last full month of the Term, plus the monthly installment of Additional
Rent which is then payable pursuant to Section 5. of this Lease, and subject to all of the other provisions of this Lease, as applicable
to a month-to-month tenancy, and (ii) Landlord may exercise any or all remedies for Default and at law and in equity, including
but not limited to an action against Tenant for wrongfully holding over. Any such holdover shall be deemed to be a tenancy-at-sufferance
and not a tenancy-at-will or tenancy from month-to-month. In no event shall any holdover be deemed a permitted extension or renewal
of the Term, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute Landlord's consent to any holdover or to give Tenant
any right with respect thereto.


 


		22.	SUBORDINATION.



 


A.    Lease Subordinate:
Provided that Tenant receives the SNDA in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section 22, this Lease is subject and subordinate
to the lien of any and all Mortgages and to any Ground Leases, and any and all renewals, extensions, modifications, recastings
and refinancings thereof. Upon receipt of the SNDA in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section 22, this clause shall
be self-operative, without execution of any further instrument; but if requested by Landlord or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall promptly
execute a certificate or other document evidencing and providing for such subordination. Landlord shall have the right to execute
said document on behalf of Tenant if Tenant fails to do so within five (5) days after receipt of the request. In accordance with
the terms of the SNDA, Tenant agrees that, if any Mortgage is foreclosed or Ground Lease terminated, upon request by the purchaser
at the foreclosure sale or Ground Lessor, as the case may be, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the purchaser or Ground Lessor
as the landlord under this Lease and shall make all payments required hereunder to such new landlord without any deduction or set-off
of any kind whatsoever. Subject to receipt of the SNDA, Tenant waives the provisions of any Laws, now or hereafter in effect, which
may give or purport to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder
in the event that any such foreclosure, termination or other proceeding is filed, prosecuted or completed. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate the lien of its Mortgage to the operation and effect of this
Lease without Tenant's consent, by giving Tenant written notice of such subordination, in which event this Lease shall be deemed
to be senior to such Mortgage, and thereafter such Mortgagee shall have the same rights as it would have had if this Lease had
been executed, delivered and recorded before said Mortgage. Provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder (or, if Tenant is
in default, then provided that Tenant cures same within any applicable notice and cure period set forth in this Lease), Landlord
shall obtain from any future Mortgagee or Ground Lessor (it being agreed that there is no current Mortgagee or Ground Lessor as
of the date of this Lease) a non-disturbance agreement (the “SNDA”) for the benefit of Tenant in such Mortgagee’s
or Ground Lessor’s, as the case may be, usual form, which SNDA shall provide, at a minimum, that so long as no Default by
Tenant exists under this Lease, in the event of a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, such Mortgagee or Ground Lessor (i)
shall recognize this Lease and shall agree that the tenancy of Tenant hereunder shall not be disturbed because of such foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) shall not reduce Tenant’s rights under this Lease in more than a de minimis manner or
expand Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in more than a de minimis manner, except for possibly requiring notices from
Tenant to such Mortgagee or Ground Lessor, (iii) specifically recognizes Tenant’s rights set forth in Sections 42 and 43
hereof and Tenant’s rights set forth in the Work Agreement, and (iv) shall not impose on Tenant increased administrative
duties which are more than de minimis and which are not typical of similarly situated tenants. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that Landlord does not obtain an SNDA from any future Mortgagee or Ground Lessor,
Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease; however, this Lease shall not be subject and subordinate to the lien of said
Mortgage or Ground Lease, as the case may be, nor shall Tenant be obligated to attorn to and recognize the purchaser or Ground
Lessor, as the case may be, as the landlord under this Lease.


 




    	 	31	 



     


    

 


B.    Modifications
to Lease: If any of Landlord's insurance carriers or any Mortgagee requests modifications to this Lease, then Tenant shall
execute a written amendment incorporating such requested modifications within thirty (30) days after the same has been submitted
to Tenant by Landlord, provided that such modifications do not (a) adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises as herein permitted,
(b) increase the rentals and other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, (c) include any changes to (i) requirements relating to Tenant's
Security Deposit under Section 35 hereof, (ii) the default provisions of Section 19 hereof, (iii) Tenant's Renewal Option pursuant
to Section 41 hereof (iv) Tenant’s termination rights pursuant to Section 42 hereof, or (v) Tenant’s rights pursuant
to Section 43 hereof, (d) do not adversely affect any of Tenant's other rights or obligations under this Lease in more than a de
minimis manner, or (e) decrease Landlord's obligations hereunder. In the event that Tenant refuses or fails to execute such amendment
that complies with this Section 22.B. within ten (10) days after Landlord’s delivery of same to Tenant, then Landlord shall
have the right to provide Tenant with a notice that such failure to execute the amendment within an additional ten (10) days shall
constitute a Default under this Lease, and if Tenant fails to execute such amendment within such additional ten (10) day period,
then such failure shall constitute a Default hereunder.


 


		23.	ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.



 


A.    No Transfer
Without Consent: Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance (which consent may be withheld
in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion) (i) assign, mortgage or otherwise encumber this Lease or any of its rights hereunder;
(ii) sublet the Premises or any part thereof or permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons
or entities other than Tenant and its agents and employees; or (iii) permit the assignment of this Lease or any of Tenant's
rights hereunder by operation of law. Any attempted assignment, mortgaging or encumbering of this Lease or any of Tenant's rights
hereunder and any attempted subletting or grant of a right to use or occupy all or a portion of the Premises in violation of the
foregoing sentence shall be void. If at any time during the Term Tenant desires to assign, sublet or mortgage all or part of this
Lease or the Premises, then in connection with Tenant's request to Landlord for Landlord's consent thereto, Tenant shall give thirty
(30) days' notice prior to Landlord in writing ("Tenant's Request Notice") containing: the identity of the proposed assignee,
subtenant or other party and a description of its business; the terms of the proposed assignment, subletting or other transaction;
the commencement date of the proposed assignment, subletting or other transaction (the "Proposed Sublease or Assignment Commencement
Date"); the area proposed to be assigned, sublet or otherwise encumbered (the "Proposed Sublet or Assignment Space");
the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant, including the Hazardous Materials intended to be used,
stored, handled, treated, generated, disposed or released from the Premises and related permits, reports and management, storage
and installation plans; the most recent financial statement or other evidence of financial responsibility of such proposed assignee,
subtenant or other party; and a certification executed by Tenant and such party stating whether or not any premium or other consideration
is being paid for the assignment, sublease or other transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that it shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to a proposed subletting, provided that all of the following conditions are
satisfied: (1) there shall be no default at the time of the proposed subletting, (2) the proposed subtenant shall be as creditworthy
as Tenant at the time on the Proposed Sublease or Assignment Commencement Date, (3) the proposed subtenant shall not be a governmental
entity or a person or entity enjoying sovereign or diplomatic immunity, (4) the use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant shall
not attract a volume, frequency or type of visitor or employee to the Building which is not consistent with the standards of a
high-quality research, development and laboratory building, (5) the proposed subtenant shall specifically covenant and agree to
perform the obligations of Tenant hereunder and to occupy the Premises subject to the provisions of this Lease, and (6) Tenant
remains liable for the faithful performance of this Lease.


 




    	 	32	 



     


    

 


B.    Take-Back
Rights: [Intentionally Omitted]


 


C.    Transfer
of Ownership Interests: If Tenant is a partnership, then any event (whether voluntary, concurrent or related) resulting in
a dissolution of Tenant, any withdrawal or change (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) of partners owning a
controlling interest in Tenant (including each general partner), or any structural or other change having the effect of limiting
the liability of the partners shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease subject to the provisions of this Section 23.
If Tenant is a corporation (or a partnership with a corporate general partner), then any event (whether voluntary, concurrent or
related) resulting in a dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant (or such corporate general partner),
or the sale or transfer or relinquishment of the interest of shareholders who, as of the date of this Lease, own a controlling
interest of the capital stock of Tenant (or such corporate general partner), shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease
subject to the provisions of this Section 23; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to corporations whose stock
is traded through a national or regional exchange or over-the-counter market. If Tenant is a limited liability company, then any
dissolution of Tenant or a withdrawal or change, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of members owning a controlling
interest in Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease which is subject to the provisions of this Section 23.
In addition, a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, either by merger, consolidation, or otherwise shall
be deemed to be an assignment which is subject to the provisions of this Section 23. Whether Tenant is a partnership, corporation
or any other type of entity, then, except as set forth in Section 23.F hereof, at the option of Landlord, a sale of all or substantially
all of Tenant's assets, a change in Tenant's name of which Landlord has not received prior notice, or a conversion into any other
type of entity shall also be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease which is subject to the provisions of this Section 23.


 


D.    Expenses
and Profits; Effect of Consent:


 


(1)In the event
Landlord permits Tenant to assign or sublet all or a portion of the Premises to a third party, fifty percent (50%) of any sums
that are paid by such third party for the right to occupy the Premises, in excess of the sum of (i) the Rent then in effect, plus
(ii) reasonable costs actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease or assignment for brokerage commissions, advertising
fees, attorneys' fees and tenant improvements, plus (iii) the unamortized costs of any Alterations to the Premises paid for solely
by Tenant from its own source of funds from time to time (the cost of which shall be allocated pro rata to the portion of the Premises
which is the subject of the sublease or assignment) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on a monthly basis as Additional Rent.


 




    	 	33	 



     


    

 


(2)Tenant shall
be responsible for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed
or purported assignment or sublease and an administrative fee of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00).


 


(3)The consent
by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall neither be construed as a waiver or release of Tenant from any covenant or obligation
of Tenant under this Lease, nor as relieving Tenant from giving Landlord the aforesaid thirty (30) days' notice of, or from obtaining
the consent of Landlord to, any further assignment or subletting. The collection or acceptance of Rent from any such assignee or
subtenant shall not constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from any covenant or obligation of Tenant under this Lease, except
as expressly agreed by Landlord in writing.


 


E.    Conditions
of Assignment or Sublease: All restrictions and obligations imposed pursuant to this Lease on Tenant shall be deemed to extend
to any subtenant, assignee, licensee, concessionaire or other occupant or transferee, and Tenant shall cause such person to comply
with such restrictions and obligations. Any assignee shall be deemed to have assumed obligations as if such assignee had originally
executed this Lease and at Landlord's request shall execute promptly a document confirming such assumption. Each sublease is subject
to the condition that if the Term is terminated or Landlord succeeds to Tenant's interest in the Premises by voluntary surrender
or otherwise, at Landlord's sole option, the subtenant shall be bound to Landlord for the balance of the term of such sublease
and shall attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under the then executory terms of such sublease or, at Landlord's sole
option, the subtenant shall execute a direct lease with Landlord on Landlord's then current standard form.


 


F.    Permitted
Subletting and Assignments: Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 23, Landlord agrees that so long as (a)
no Default is then continuing beyond any applicable cure period, (b) no circumstance shall have occurred which with the giving
of notice, the passage of time, or both would constitute a Default by Tenant, (c) Tenant or its permitted subtenant or assignee
named herein shall be using the Premises for the uses permitted by this Lease, and (d) Tenant provided Landlord with not less than
ten (10) ten days prior written of any such assignment or subletting, the provisions of this Section 23 (other than Sections 23.D.(3)
and 23.E.) shall not be applicable with regard to an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of the Premises to Tenant's Affiliate
(as hereinafter defined), so long as (1) Tenant originally named herein shall remain primarily liable under this Lease, notwithstanding
any such assignment or subletting and (2) no other or further assignment or subletting shall be permitted without Landlord's prior
written consent. An "Affiliate", as used herein, shall be a person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one
or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant. "Control" as used herein
shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of
a person or entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.


 




    	 	34	 



     


    

 


G.    Permitted
Occupants. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 23 to the contrary (except Section 23.E above), if (1) if
no default on the part of Tenant then exists hereunder and (2) the amount of space utilized for short-term occupancy rights pursuant
to this Section 23.G shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total number of rentable square feet of area comprising the Premises,
then Novavax, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or its Affiliate (collectively, “Novavax”) may, without Landlord’s
prior written consent and without being subject to Landlord’s rights and Tenant’s obligations set forth in Sections
23.A., 23.C., 23.D.(1) and 23.D.(2) above, sublease or license one or more individual offices (and the use of areas ancillary thereto)
in the Premises, or to grant short-term occupancy rights to third parties or Affiliates (“Permitted Occupants”); provided,
however, that (a) such portions of the Premises so affected shall not be separately demised or segregated from the Premises by
the construction of a partition wall or entrances, (b) such arrangements shall be with entities having a business or affiliate
relationship with Novavax, and (c) any such Permitted Occupant shall agree to indemnify Landlord, Landlord’s management agent
and any Mortgagees and to hold them harmless from and against all costs, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses, including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, directly or indirectly, based on, arising out of or resulting from: (i) such
Permitted Occupant’s use and occupancy of the Premises or the business conducted by such Permitted Occupant therein or such
Permitted Occupant’s presence in the Premises, (ii) any act or omission of such Permitted Occupant or its employees, agents
or contractors, (iii) any breach or default by such Permitted Occupant in the observance or performance of Tenant’s covenants
and obligations under this Lease (other than Tenant’s obligations to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent hereunder), and (iv)
Novavax shall notify Landlord of such arrangement at least ten (10) business days prior to such arrangement(s) commencing.


 


		24.	TRANSFER BY LANDLORD.



 


Landlord (and any
successor or affiliate of Landlord) may freely sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest in this Lease or the
Premises, the Security Deposit, the Building or the Land and, in the event of any such sale, assignment or transfer, Landlord (but
not its successor) shall be relieved of any and all obligations under this Lease from and after the date of the sale, assignment
or transfer. From and after said date, Tenant shall be bound to such purchaser, assignee or other transferee, as the case may be,
as though the latter had been the original Landlord hereunder, provided that the purchaser, assignee or transferee agrees to assume
the obligations of Landlord hereunder.


 


		25.	INABILITY TO PERFORM.



 


This Lease and Landlord’s
and Tenant's obligation hereunder shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused, nor shall either party have any claim against
the other party for damages, because the other party, due to Unavoidable Delays, is unable to fulfill any of its obligations under
this Lease, including, but not limited to, any obligations to provide any services, repairs, replacements, alterations or decorations
or to supply any improvements, equipment or fixtures, but in no event shall this Section 25 be interpreted to relieve Tenant of
any of its obligations to pay Rent in the amounts and when due under this Lease or its obligations to obtain and maintain any insurance
required hereunder.


 




    	 	35	 



     


    

 


		26.	ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.



 


Tenant shall, without
charge, within five (5) days after receipt of any request therefor, execute and deliver to Landlord a certificate stating: (i) whether
this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and
effect and setting forth all such modifications); (ii) whether there then exist any defenses against the enforcement of any
right of Landlord hereunder (and, if so, specifying the same in detail); (iii) the dates to which rent and any other charges
hereunder have been paid by Tenant; (iv) that Tenant has no knowledge of any then uncured defaults under this Lease (or, if
Tenant has knowledge of any such defaults, specifying the same in detail); (v) that Tenant has no knowledge of any event that
will or may result in the termination of this Lease (or if Tenant has such knowledge, specifying the same in detail); (vi) the
address to which notices to Tenant are to be sent; and (vii) such other information as may be reasonably requested. It is understood
that any such certificate may be relied upon by Landlord, any Mortgagee, prospective Mortgagee, Ground Lessor, prospective Ground
Lessor, or purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Land or the Building.


 


		27.	COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT.



 


Landlord covenants
that it has the right to make this Lease and that, if Tenant shall pay all Rent and perform all of Tenant's other obligations under
this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, during the Term and subject to the provisions of this Lease, to quietly occupy and enjoy
the Premises without hindrance by Landlord or its successors and assigns.


 


		28.	WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.



 


Landlord and Tenant
hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other with respect to
any matter arising out of or connected with this Lease.


 


		29.	BROKERS.



 


Landlord and Tenant
each represents and warrants to the other that, except as hereinafter set forth, neither of them has employed any broker in procuring
or carrying on any negotiations relating to this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from any
loss, claim or damage relating to the breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. Landlord recognizes only the Broker(s)
(as set forth in Section 1.K. hereof) as broker(s) with respect to this Lease and agrees to be responsible for the payment of any
leasing commissions owed to said broker(s).


 


		30.	CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD.



 


Subject to Landlord’s
obligations and Tenant’s rights set forth in Article 11 hereof, Landlord shall have the following rights, exercisable without
notice (except with respect to subsections A, B, D-F, I and J, which shall require at least ten (10) business days’ notice
to Tenant), without liability for damage or injury to property, person or business and without effecting an eviction, constructive
or actual, or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Premises or giving rise to any claim for set-off, abatement of Rent
or otherwise:


 




    	 	36	 



     


    

 


A.    To change the
Building's name or street address.


 


B.    To affix, maintain
and remove any and all signs on the exterior and interior of the Building; provided, that Landlord shall not remove signage permitted
under Section 39 of this Lease without Tenant’s prior written consent, which may be granted or denied in Tenant’s sole
discretion.


 


C.    To designate
and approve, prior to installation, all window shades, blinds, drapes, awnings, window ventilators, lighting and other similar
equipment to be installed by Tenant that may be visible from the exterior of the Premises or the Building.


 


D.    To decorate
and make repairs, alterations, additions and improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in, to and about the Building and any
part thereof, and for such purposes to enter the Premises, and, during the continuance of any such work, to close temporarily doors,
and entry ways in the Building and to interrupt or temporarily suspend Building services and facilities, all without affecting
Tenant's obligations hereunder, as long as the Premises remain tenantable.


 


E.    To alter, relocate,
reconfigure, reduce and withdraw the Common Areas located outside the Building, including parking and access roads, as long as
the Premises and the parking areas remain reasonably accessible.


 


F.    To erect, use
and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the Premises.


 


G.    To construct
improvements (including kiosks) on the Land.


 


H.    To prohibit
smoking in the entire Building or portions thereof (including the Premises) and on the Land, so long as such prohibitions are in
accordance with applicable Laws.


 


I.    If any excavation
or other substructure work shall be made or authorized to be made upon land adjacent to the Building or the Land, to enter the
Premises for the purpose of doing such work as is required to preserve the walls of the Building and to preserve the land from
injury or damage and to support such walls and land by proper foundations.


 


J.    Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord may at any time elect to alter, rehabilitate or renovate all or any portion
of the Building so long as such construction does not substantially and unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s access to the
Premises or substantially and unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord
has the right to undertake major renovations (including work with respect to the exterior façade of the Building) with respect
to the Building and that Landlord may hereafter perform additional work, improvements and renovations with respect to the Building.
In connection with any such work, improvements and renovations, the Landlord may erect scaffoldings, sidewalk bridges and other
such appurtenances. Tenant agrees not to interfere with such work, improvements and renovations and further agrees that such work,
improvements and renovations (and the construction appurtenances which Landlord may place at or near the Premises) performed in
accordance with this Section 30.J. shall not constitute an eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, and
the Base Rent and all other items of Additional Rent hereunder shall not abate while such work, improvements and renovations are
being made by reason of loss or interruption of the business of Tenant or otherwise, nor shall Tenant have any claims against Landlord
by reason of such work. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s
ordinary business operations in the Premises during any access of the Premises by Landlord.

R.    [Intentionally
Omitted.] 


 


S.    [Intentionally
Omitted.] 


 


T.    Qualified
Leases: The parties intend that all payments made to Landlord under this Lease will qualify as rents from real

will not qualify as Qualified Rents, Tenant agrees (i) to cooperate with landlord to restructure this Lease in such manner as may
be necessary to enable such payments to be treated as Qualified Rents, and (ii) to permit an assignment of this Lease, in each
case provided such restructuring or assignment will not have a material economic impact on Tenant.


 


		33.	CONTINGENCY FOR NOVAVAX DOWNGRADE EVENT.



 


Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that on or before the ninetieth (90th) day following
the Lease Commencement Date (the “Contingency Period”), a Novavax Downgrade Event (as defined below) has occurred,
then Landlord shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Lease by written notice given to Tenant
on or before the fifth (5th) day following the expiration of the Contingency Period, in which event this Lease shall
terminate on the date of such notice from Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall immediately return to Tenant the Security Deposit
and the initial installment of Monthly Base Rent paid by Tenant, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder, except for those rights and obligations which survive the termination of this Lease. In the event that Landlord
does not timely provide a termination notice in accordance with this Section 33, Landlord shall have no further right to terminate
this Lease under this Section 33. A “Novavax Downgrade Event” means that (1) at any time during the Contingency Period
the market capitalization of Tenant is less than Seven Hundred Million Dollars ($700,000,000.00) and (2) as of the end of the Contingency
Period, Landlord has not obtained a loan and granted a Mortgage on the Property.


 


		34.	PARKING.



 


A.    Use of Parking.


 


(1)During the Term,
Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use the parking areas designated from time to time by Landlord for the Building (the "Parking
Area") for the unreserved parking of passenger automobiles. Tenant and its employees shall observe reasonable precautions
in the use of the Parking Area and shall at all times abide by all rules and regulations governing the use of the Parking Area
promulgated by Landlord or the operator of the Parking Area (the “Parking Area Operator”). Landlord reserves the right
to close the Parking Area during periods of unusually inclement weather or for repairs. At all times when the Parking Area is closed,
monthly permit holders shall be afforded access to the Parking Area by means of a magnetic card or other procedure provided by
Landlord or the Parking Area Operator. It is understood and agreed that Landlord assumes no responsibility, and shall not be held
liable, for any damage or loss to any automobiles parked in the parking facilities or to any personal property located therein
or for any injury sustained by any person in or about the parking facilities. Landlord reserves the right, upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice, to modify in any way Landlord deems appropriate the manner in which the Parking Area is accessed during the
Term, so long as such modification does not have a material adverse effect on Tenant’s (and its agents’ and employees’)
access to the Premises.


 




    	 	40	 



     


    

 


(2)Landlord’s
granting of parking rights hereunder does not create a bailment between the parties, it being expressly agreed that the only relationship
created between Landlord and Tenant hereby is that of right grantor and right grantee. All motor vehicles (including all contents
thereof) shall be in the Parking Area at the sole risk of their owners and Tenant, and Landlord is not responsible for the protection
and security of such vehicles. Neither Landlord nor any agent, employee or contractor of Landlord shall have any liability for
any property damage or personal injury arising out of or in connection with said motor vehicles, and Tenant shall indemnify and
hold Landlord and any agent, employee or contractor of Landlord harmless from and against all demands, claims, damages, costs,
expenses, liabilities, or causes of action arising out of or connected with use of the Parking Area by Tenant or by any of Tenant's
employees, agents, invitees, guests, assignees, subtenants, contractors or visitors (collectively, "Tenant's Invitees"),
or any acts or omissions arising out of or in connection with said motor vehicles.


 


(3)In its use of
the Parking Area, Tenant will follow all terms of all applicable Rules and Regulations enacted by Landlord with respect to the
Building and/or the Parking Area, shall observe reasonable safety precautions in the use of the Parking Area, and will cause Tenant’s
Invitees to do the same. Any violation of said applicable Rules and Regulations will constitute a Default hereunder. Upon any such
Default, in addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord may terminate Tenant’s rights to lease parking
spaces in the Parking Area in accordance with the terms of Section 34.A.(1). above.


 


(4)If: (i) all
or a portion of the Parking Area is damaged by fire or other casualty or taken by power of eminent domain or purchased in lieu
thereof by any governmental authority, (ii) the insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty to the Parking Area are applied
to a Mortgage, or (iii) there is any material uninsured loss to the Parking Area, Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to
lease spaces in the Parking Area in accordance with the terms of subsection (1) above. If Landlord does not so elect to terminate
such rights of Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 34.A.(4), then: (1) Landlord will either (a) proceed
to restore the Parking Area (and Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any alternative parking while such restoration is
being performed), or (b) not restore the Parking Area, but provide Tenant with alternate parking throughout the remainder of the
Term.


 




    	 	41	 



     


    

 


		35.	SECURITY DEPOSIT.



 


A.    Amount and
Uses: Landlord acknowledges receipt from Tenant of the Security Deposit in the form of a Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined),
to be held by Landlord as security for the payment of all Rent payable by Tenant and for the faithful performance by Tenant of
all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Said Security Deposit shall be repaid or released to Tenant after the termination
of this Lease (or any renewal thereof), provided Tenant shall have made all such payments and performed all such obligations hereunder.
Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Security Deposit in a separate account. The Security Deposit shall not be mortgaged,
assigned, transferred or encumbered by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord, and any such act shall be void. Landlord
may, at Landlord's option, appropriate and apply the entire Security Deposit, or so much thereof as Landlord believes may be necessary,
to compensate Landlord for the payment of any past-due Rent and for loss or damage sustained by Landlord due to any Default. In
the event Landlord appropriates or applies the Security Deposit in such a manner, Tenant, within five (5) business days after notice
thereof, shall pay to Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the original sum deposited. Tenant's failure
to restore any such deficiency shall constitute a Default hereunder. In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings
by or against Tenant, the Security Deposit shall be applied first to the payment of Rent due Landlord for all periods prior to
the filing of such proceedings.


 


B.    Transferability:
In the event of a sale or transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building or of the interest of any successor or assign of Landlord,
Landlord (or such successor or assign) shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to any vendee or transferee and shall
thereupon be released automatically from any liability therefor. Tenant shall look solely to the transferee for the return of the
Security Deposit. No Mortgagee or purchaser of any or all of the Building at any foreclosure proceeding shall (regardless of whether
the Lease is at the time subordinated to the lien of said Mortgage) be liable to Tenant or any other person for any of the Security
Deposit, or any other payment made by Tenant hereunder, unless Landlord has actually delivered said deposit or other such sum to
such Mortgagee or purchaser. In the event of any rightful and permitted assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease, the Security
Deposit shall be deemed to be held by Landlord as a deposit made by the assignee, and Landlord shall have no liability to the assignor
with respect to the return of the Security Deposit.


 


C.    Letter of
Credit: The Letter of Credit shall be maintained throughout the Term and any renewals thereof, if any, in accordance with all
of the requirements hereinafter set forth. Any Letter of Credit delivered to Landlord by Tenant shall be an unconditional, irrevocable
letter of credit in a form and from a financial institution acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion and shall be capable
of being drawn upon in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Landlord hereby approves the form of Letter of Credit attached hereto
as Exhibit E and made a part hereof. Said Letter of Credit shall be issued by a commercial bank (1) that is chartered under the
laws of the United States or any State thereof and which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any U.S.
branch of a foreign bank licensed to do business in the United States; (2) whose long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations
are rated in the highest category by at least two of Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”), Moody’s Investors Service,
Inc. (Moody’s) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or their respective successors (the
“Rating Agencies) (which shall mean AAA from Fitch, Aaa from Moody’s and AAA from Standard & Poor’s); and
(3) which has a short-term deposit rating in the highest category from at least two Rating Agencies (which shall mean F1 from Fitch,
P-1 from Moody’s and A-1 from S&P) (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Issuer Requirements”). During the
Term and any renewals thereof, if any, if (a) the issuer of the Letter of Credit at any time fails to satisfy any one or more of
the Letter of Credit Issuer Requirements, or (b) the issuer of the Letter of Credit is insolvent or is placed into receivership
or conservatorship, or is closed for any reason, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any successor or similar governmental
entity, or (c) a trustee, receiver or liquidator is appointed for the issuer of the Letter of Credit, or (d) the issuer of the
Letter of Credit is no longer deemed to be a “well capitalized” depository institution for purposes of the prompt corrective
action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, then, in any of such events,
Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of the occurrence of any event described in any of the immediately preceding clauses (a) through
(d) (each such occurrence being hereinafter referred to as an "L/C Issuer Requirements Failure"), deliver a substitute
Letter of Credit from an issuer that satisfies the Letter of Credit Issuer Requirements and that also complies in all respects
with the criteria set forth in this Section 35.C. Tenant’s failure to obtain a substitute Letter of Credit within the later
of (A) three (3) business days following Landlord’s written demand therefor or (B) ten (10) days following the occurrence
of an L/C Issuer Requirements Failure shall constitute a Default hereunder (as to which no cure period shall be applicable) entitling
Landlord (i) to draw upon the Letter of Credit then in effect without the necessity of any other monetary or other default hereunder
by Tenant, in which event the proceeds thereof shall be held by Landlord, and (ii) to exercise all of Landlord’s remedies
set forth in this Lease with respect to a Default by Tenant.


 




    	 	42	 



     


    

 


D.    Said Letter
of Credit shall provide that it shall expire on the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of expiration of the Term of this Lease
and shall be transferable by Landlord, without any fee or other cost to Landlord other than the transfer fee required by the issuing
bank of the Letter of Credit, which shall be paid by Landlord, to any purchaser or transferee of Landlord’s interest in the
Building or the Land. At Tenant's option, said Letter of Credit shall have a term equal to the period expiring on the first anniversary
of the date of issuance thereof, in which event Tenant covenants that a renewal of said Letter of Credit shall be delivered to
Landlord by that date which is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date thereof, and thereafter a renewal of the Letter of
Credit shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant by that date which is thirty (30) days prior to each succeeding anniversary of
the original expiration date of the Letter of Credit. If Tenant fails to so renew and deliver said Letter of Credit to Landlord
by the thirtieth (30th) day preceding each said expiration date, such failure shall constitute a Default hereunder (as to which
no cure period shall be applicable) and Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit then in effect without the necessity of any
other monetary or other default hereunder by Tenant, in which event the proceeds thereof shall be held by Landlord. Said Letter
of Credit shall provide that Landlord shall be permitted to draw on same on multiple occasions following the occurrence of a Default
by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that in the event that said Letter of Credit would expire during the pendency of
any litigation to resolve whether such Default has occurred, Landlord may draw upon said Letter of Credit prior to the expiration
thereof. In the event that Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit after a Default by Tenant as aforesaid, Landlord shall use,
apply or retain all or any portion of the proceeds thereof for (i) the payment of any Rent or any other sums as to which Tenant
is in default, (ii) the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend to repair damage to the Premises
or the Building for which repairs Tenant is liable hereunder, or (iii) compensation to Landlord for any actual losses which Landlord
is entitled to recover hereunder by reason of Tenant's Default, including any damage or deficiency arising in connection with the
reletting of the Premises and all associated reasonable legal fees. In the event that the Letter of Credit is drawn upon by Landlord
for failure of Tenant to renew said Letter of Credit as aforesaid, the proceeds thereof shall be held by Landlord in accordance
with the provisions respecting the Security Deposit under this Section 35.C. The use, application or retention of the proceeds
of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy
provided by this Lease or by law, and shall not limit any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled.


 




    	 	43	 



     


    

 


		36.	HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.



 


A.    Definition.
As used in this Lease, the term "Hazardous Material" means any flammable items, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous
or toxic substances, material or waste or related materials, including any substances defined as or included in the definition
of "hazardous substances", "hazardous wastes", "infectious wastes", "hazardous materials"
or "toxic substances" now or subsequently regulated under any state, local or federal Laws, including, but not limited
to, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“Environmental
Rules”). Such substances, materials and wastes may include, without limitation, oil, synthetic or natural gases, petroleum-based
products, paints, solvents, lead, cyanide, DDT, printing inks, acids, pesticides, ammonia compounds and other chemical products,
asbestos, PCBs and similar compounds, and including any different products and materials which are subsequently found to have adverse
effects on the environment or the health and safety of persons or animals under any Environmental Rules. As defined in the Environmental
Rules, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the “operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner”
of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant or any of its agents, employees, licensees, guests or invitees, and
the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom.


 


B.    General Prohibition.
Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be generated, produced, brought upon, used, stored, treated, discharged,
released, spilled or disposed of on, in under or about the Premises, the Building, or the Land (hereinafter referred to collectively
as the "Property") by Tenant or Tenant's Invitees. Tenant shall indemnify upon full execution of this Lease, throughout
the Term and following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, defend and hold Landlord, Landlord's managing agent
and all Mortgagees harmless from and against any and all actions (including, without limitation, remedial or enforcement actions
of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising out of or resulting therefrom), costs, claims,
actual and consequential damages (including without limitation, attorneys', consultants', and experts' fees, court costs and amount
paid in settlement of any claims or actions), fines, forfeitures or other civil, administrative or criminal penalties, injunctive
or other relief (whether or not based upon personal injury, property damage, or contamination of, or adverse effects upon, the
environment, water tables or natural resources), liabilities or losses arising from a breach of this prohibition by Tenant or Tenant's
Invitees.


 


C.    Permitted
Use. Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 36 to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the
Permitted Use. Tenant may operate its business according to prudent industry practices so long as the use or presence of Hazardous
Materials complies with, and is properly monitored according to, all then applicable Environmental Rules. As a material inducement
to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior
to the Lease Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled,
treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits
required in connection with the presence, use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of such Hazardous
Materials on or from the Premises (“Hazardous Materials List”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous
Materials List at least once a year and shall also deliver an updated list before any new Hazardous Material is brought onto, treated,
generated on, or released from, the Premises. Tenant is not required, however, to provide Landlord with any information on the
Hazardous Materials List of a proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials
or hazardous activities.


 




    	 	44	 



     


    

 


D.    Tenant’s
Representation and Warranty. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) neither Tenant nor any of its legal
predecessors has been required by any prior landlord, lender or any governmental authority at any time to take remedial action
in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property which contamination was permitted by Tenant or such predecessor
or resulted from Tenant’s or such predecessor’s action or use of the property in question, and (ii) Tenant is not subject
to any enforcement order issued by any governmental authority in connection with the use, storage, treatment, generation, release
or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required report to
any governmental authority). If Landlord determines that this representation and warranty was false as of the date of this Lease,
Tenant shall be deemed to be in Default hereunder and Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease in Landlord’s
sole and absolute discretion and to pursue all applicable remedies for such Default set forth in Section 19 hereof.


 


E.    Tests.
Landlord shall have the right to conduct annual tests of the Premises to determine whether any contamination of the Premises or
the Building has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use. Tenant shall be required to pay the actual out-of-pocket cost of each
such test of the Premises; provided, however, that if Tenant conducts its own tests of the Premises using third party contractors
and test procedures reasonably acceptable to Landlord which tests are certified to Landlord, Landlord shall accept such tests in
lieu of the tests to be paid for by Tenant. In connection with such testing, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord or its consultant such non-proprietary information concerning the use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises
by Tenant or any of its agents. Landlord shall provide Tenant, upon Tenant’s written request, with a copy of all third party,
non-confidential reports and tests of the Premises concerning environmental contamination made by or on behalf of Landlord during
the Term without representation or warranty and subject to a confidentiality agreement. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense,
promptly and satisfactorily remediate any environmental conditions identified by such testing in accordance with all Environmental
Rules. Landlord’s receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights which Landlord
may have against Tenant.


 


F.    Underground
Tanks. Tenant shall not install or otherwise operate any underground storage tank on the Premises without Landlord’s
prior written consent, which may be granted, denied or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. If underground
or other storage tanks storing Hazardous Materials located on the Premises or the Building are used by Tenant or are hereafter
placed on the Premises or the Building by Tenant, Tenant shall install, use, monitor, operate, maintain and manage such storage
tanks, maintain records as required by the Environmental Rules, obtain and maintain prudent insurance, implement reporting procedures,
properly close any underground storage tanks, and take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary or required under the Environmental
Rules in connection with the installation, use, maintenance, management, operation, upgrading and closure of such storage tanks.


 




    	 	45	 



     


    

 


G.    Waste Disposal.
Tenant recognizes that the Building does not contain a lab waste system. Tenant also acknowledges that any violation by Tenant
of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (“WSSC”) rules and regulations governing illegal discharges would cause
substantial harm to the Building and the Property, and that such violation would be unlawful and constitute a Default under this
Lease. Therefore, Tenant shall be solely responsible for any improper discharge or disposal by Tenant or its agents, contractors,
employees, guests or invitees during Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises or any of the aforementioned parties’ access
of the Premises. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, test such waste prior to discharging or disposing the same and cause
such waste to be disposed or discharged in accordance with WSSC regulations and any other applicable Laws.


 


H.    Notice.
In the event that Hazardous Materials are discovered upon, in, or under the Property, and any governmental agency or entity having
jurisdiction over the Property requires the removal of such Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall be responsible for removing those
Hazardous Materials arising out of or related to the use or occupancy of the Property by Tenant or Tenant's Invitees but not those
of its predecessors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not take any remedial action in or about the Property or any portion
thereof without first notifying Landlord of Tenant's intention to do so and affording Landlord the opportunity to protect Landlord's
interest with respect thereto. Tenant immediately shall notify Landlord in writing of: (i) any spill, release, discharge or
disposal of any Hazardous Material in, on or under the Property or any portion thereof; (ii) any enforcement, cleanup, removal
or other governmental or regulatory action instituted, contemplated, or threatened (if Tenant has notice thereof) pursuant to any
Environmental Rules respecting Hazardous Materials; (iii) any claim made or threatened by any person against Tenant or the
Property or any portion thereof relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from or
claimed to result from any Hazardous Materials; and (iv) any reports made to any governmental agency or entity arising out
of or in connection with any Hazardous Materials in, on under or about or removed from the Property or any portion thereof, including
any complaints, notices, warnings, reports or asserted violations in connection therewith. Tenant also shall supply to Landlord
as promptly as possible, and in any event within five (5) business days after Tenant first receives or sends the same, copies of
all claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations relating in any way to the Premises, the Property or
Tenant's use or occupancy thereof.


 


I.    Survival.
The respective rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Section 36 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease. During any period of time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease required by Tenant or Landlord
to complete the removal from the Premises or the Building of any Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, the release
and termination of any licenses or permits restricting the use of the Premises and the completion of approved Surrender Plan, as
hereinafter defined in Section 40), Tenant shall continue to pay the full Base Rent and Additional Rent in accordance with this
Lease for any portion of the Premises not relet by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, which Rent shall
be prorated on a daily basis.


 




    	 	46	 



     


    

 


J.    Landlord’s
Representations and Warranties. To the best Landlord’s knowledge and except as disclosed in any environmental reports
or other information furnished to Tenant by Landlord or otherwise obtained by Tenant prior to the date hereof, there are no Hazardous
Materials located in, on or under the Building or the Land in violation of applicable Laws.


 


		37.	[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]



 


 


		38.	NO RECORDATION.



 


Neither Tenant nor
Landlord shall attempt to record or record this Lease. Tenant shall not record or attempt to record any memorandum hereof in any
public records without the prior written approval of Landlord, which may be denied in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.
In the event that Landlord grants its approval to record this Lease or a memorandum hereof, Tenant shall pay all recordation fees,
taxes and charges in connection with such recordation.


 


		39.	SIGNS.



 


Landlord will, at
Landlord’s cost, list Tenant's name in the Building directory and provide Building standard signage on one suite entry door
of the Premises. No other sign, advertisement or notice shall be inscribed, painted, affixed or otherwise displayed on any part
of the exterior or interior of the Building (including windows and doors) without the prior written approval of Landlord, which
may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. If any such item that has not been approved by Landlord
is so displayed, then Landlord shall have the right to remove such item at Tenant's expense or to require Tenant to do the same.
Landlord reserves the right to install and display signs, advertisements and notices on any part of the exterior or interior of
the Building.


 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing, provided that at all times (i) Tenant is not in default under this Lease, and (ii) Tenant is leasing and occupying at
least one (1) entire Wing, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to install and maintain two (2) sign panels on the top level
of the exterior façade of the Building (“Tenant’s Exterior Signage”); provided, however, that such Tenant’s
Exterior Signage shall be in locations that have been approved by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and in the
event that Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease with respect only to a portion of the Premises pursuant to the terms
of Section 42 below, then Tenant’s right to maintain a second sign shall be subject to Landlord’s obtaining approval
from the applicable governmental authorities to install a third exterior sign on the portion of the Premises surrendered by Tenant,
such that at all times that Tenant is not leasing the entirety of the Building, Landlord shall have the legal right to allow at
least one occupant of the Building in addition to Tenant to install signage on the exterior of the Building. Tenant’s Exterior
Signage shall (a) be of a type, style, size, color, and method of fabrication approved by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion,
and (b) comply with all applicable Laws regarding type, size, style, color and location, including, but not limited to, laws promulgated
by Montgomery County, Maryland. Any such Tenant’s Exterior Signage shall be installed, repaired and maintained in compliance
with all applicable Laws and at Tenant's sole cost and expense. If Tenant fails to maintain Tenant’s Exterior Signage, Landlord
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do so, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall remove Tenant’s
Exterior Signage, at Tenant’s sole cost, prior to the earlier of (A) the expiration of the Term of this Lease, or (B) the
thirtieth (30th) day following the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises or Tenant’s right to
maintain Tenant’s Exterior Signage under this Lease, and Tenant shall repair any damage to the Building caused by the installation
or removal of Tenant’s Exterior Signage, all at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

		40.	SURRENDER.



 


Upon the expiration
of the Term or earlier termination of Tenant’s occupancy, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition
as the Premises were in on the Lease Commencement Date, subject to any Alterations or Installations permitted or required by Landlord
to remain in the Premises, free of Hazardous Materials brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in, or released
or disposed of from, the Premises and released of all Hazardous Materials Clearances, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and casualty
loss and condemnation covered in Sections 16 and 18 hereof excepted. At least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Term
or anticipated earlier termination or vacancy of the Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a narrative description
of the actions proposed (or required by any governmental authority) that Tenant plans to perform to surrender the Premises (including
any Installations permitted by Landlord to remain in the Premises) at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or vacancy
of the Premises, free from any residual impact from Hazardous Materials (the “Surrender Plan”). Such Surrender Plan
shall be accompanied by a current listing of (i) all Hazardous Materials licenses and permits held by or on behalf of Tenant or
its agents with respect to the Premises and (ii) all Hazardous Materials used, stored, handled, treated, generated, released or
disposed of from the Premises, and shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord or Landlord’s environmental consultant.
In connection with the review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
or its consultant such additional non-proprietary information concerning Tenant’s use of Hazardous Materials as Landlord
shall request. On or before the date of such surrender, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence that the approved Surrender Plan
shall have been satisfactorily completed and Landlord shall have the right, subject to reimbursement at Tenant’s expense
as set forth below, to cause Landlord’s environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional procedures
as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the effective date of such surrender or early termination
of this Lease, free from any residual impact from Tenant’s use of Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as
Additional Rent, for the actual out-of-pocket expense incurred by Landlord for Landlord’s environmental consultant to review
and approve the Surrender Plan and to visit the Premises and verify satisfactory completion of all actions described therein. Landlord
shall have the unrestricted right to deliver such Surrender Plan and any report by Landlord’s environmental consultant with
respect to the surrender of the Premises to third parties.


 


If Tenant shall fail
to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or
if such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address any residual effect of Tenant’s
use of Hazardous Materials in the Premises or the Property, Landlord shall have the right to take such actions as Landlord may
deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises and the Building are surrendered free from any residual impact from
Hazardous Materials, the cost of which actions shall be reimbursed by Tenant as Additional Rent, without regard to the limitation
set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 40.


 




    	 	48	 



     


    

 


Tenant shall immediately
return to Landlord all keys and/or access cards to the parking area, the Building, restrooms and all or any portion of the Premises
furnished to or otherwise procured by Tenant. If any such access card or key is lost, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord’s
election, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s demand therefor, either the cost of replacing such lost access card or
key or the cost of reprogramming the access security system in which such access card was used or changing the lock or locks opened
by such lost key. All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the expiration of the Term or earlier termination
of this Lease shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s
indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Rent and obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.


 


		41.	OPTION TO EXTEND.



 


Provided that Novavax
is not then in default and has not been in default more than one (1) time during the Term, in each case both at the time of exercise
of a Renewal Option (as hereinafter defined), and at the commencement of a Renewal Period (as hereinafter defined), and is then
in direct occupancy of at least the entire portion of the Premises which Novavax elects to have renewed at the time of exercise
of a Renewal Option, and at the time of the commencement of a Renewal Period, Novavax shall have three (3) options (the “Renewal
Options”) to extend the Term of the Lease for a period of five (5) years each (each, a “Renewal Period”) after
the expiration of the initial Term or the applicable Renewal Period, either with respect to the entire Premises, or as to any one
Wing of the Premises, as hereinafter provided. In the event that (a) Tenant is then in occupancy of the entire Premises, Tenant
shall have the right to exercise a Renewal Option with respect to (i) the entire Premises, or (ii) one (1) entire Wing only, at
Tenant’s option, or (b) Tenant is then in occupancy of one (1) entire Wing only, Tenant shall only have the right to exercise
a Renewal Option with respect to such Wing. A Renewal Option shall be exercisable only by written notice given by Novavax to Landlord
not later than fifteen (15) months, nor earlier than eighteen (18) months, prior to the expiration of the initial Term or the applicable
Renewal Period, which notice shall, if applicable, state whether Tenant is exercising its right to renew the Term of this Lease
with respect to the entire Premises or only one (1) entire Wing thereof. In the event that Novavax does not timely exercise a Renewal
Option, said Renewal Option and all remaining Renewal Options, if applicable, shall be null and void and of no further force or
effect, time being of the essence in the exercise of a Renewal Option and it being acknowledged and agreed by Novavax that Landlord
shall be entitled to rely on any failure by Novavax to give written notice of its exercise of a Renewal Option by the date set
forth herein for such exercise thereof.


 




    	 	49	 



     


    

 


All terms and conditions
of this Lease shall be applicable during the Renewal Period except that the amount of Base Rent and annual escalations charged
for the Renewal Period shall be the then “Prevailing Market Rent”, which shall be the rent for renewal tenants leasing
comparable space in comparable buildings in the Gaithersburg submarket of Maryland, taking into account such market concessions,
if any, as are then being offered by landlords of comparable buildings with respect to comparable space leased to renewal tenants;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Prevailing Market Rent determined as aforesaid be deemed to be less than the Base
Rent payable under this Lease during the Lease Year immediately preceding the first Lease Year of the Renewal Period. If within
thirty (30) days following delivery of Novavax’s notice, Landlord and Novavax have not mutually agreed on the Prevailing
Market Rent for the Renewal Period, then within ten (10) days after the expiration of such thirty-day period, each party shall
give written notice to the other setting forth the name and address of a Broker (as hereinafter defined) selected by such party
who has agreed to act in such capacity, to determine the Prevailing Market Rent. If either party shall fail to select a Broker
as aforesaid, the Prevailing Market Rent shall be determined by the Broker selected by the other party. Each Broker shall thereupon
independently make his or her determination of the Prevailing Market Rent within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the
second Broker. If the two Brokers’ determinations are not the same, but the higher of such two values is not more than one
hundred five percent (105%) of the lower of them, then the Prevailing Market Rent shall be deemed to be the average of the two
values. If the higher of such two values is more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower of them, then the two Brokers
shall jointly appoint a third Broker within ten (10) days after the second of the two determinations described above has been rendered.
The third Broker shall independently make his or her determination of the Prevailing Market Rent within twenty (20) days after
his or her appointment. The highest and the lowest determinations of value among the three Brokers shall be disregarded and the
remaining determination shall be deemed to be the Prevailing Market Rent.


 


Within thirty (30)
days (subject to written extension by Landlord) after the later to occur of (i) the date on which Landlord and Novavax agree upon
the Prevailing Market Rent or (ii) the date on which the Prevailing Market Rent is otherwise determined by the 3-broker method
as aforesaid, Landlord and Novavax shall execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the terms as to the Renewal Period. If
Novavax shall fail to execute said amendment within such thirty (30) day period (as the same may be extended as aforesaid), then
Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option exercisable by written notice to Novavax: (a) to cancel the exercise
by Novavax of Novavax’s option and to offer to lease and to lease the Premises to others upon such terms and conditions as
shall be acceptable to Landlord, or (b) to not cancel the exercise by Novavax of Novavax's option, in which case Novavax shall
remain bound by the exercise thereof and Novavax shall be deemed to be in default of this Lease.


 


For the purposes of
this Section 41, “Broker” shall mean a real estate broker or salesperson licensed in the Montgomery County, Maryland,
who has been regularly engaged in such capacity in the business of commercial office and research and development laboratory leasing
in Montgomery County, Maryland for at least ten (10) years immediately preceding such person’s appointment hereunder. Each
party shall pay for the cost of its Broker and one-half of the cost of the third Broker.

		42.	TENANT’S TERMINATION OPTION.



 


Notwithstanding anything
in this Lease to the contrary and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 42 and this Lease (including, but not limited
to, Section 43.H. below), Tenant shall have the right, exercisable at Tenant’s sole option, to terminate this Lease (the
“Termination Option”) effective as of the last day of the ninth (9th) Lease Year (the “Termination
Date”), said right of Tenant to be exercisable by giving written notice thereof (the “Termination Notice”) to
Landlord, which Termination Notice shall be given, if at all, not later than twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Date.
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises or only one (1) Wing; provided, however,
that if Tenant has entered into an amendment to this Lease for the Expansion Space (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to Tenant’s
rights set forth in Section 43 hereof prior to the date of Tenant’s Termination Notice, then Tenant shall only have the right
to terminate this Lease with respect to the South Wing. Tenant’s Termination Notice shall state whether Tenant desires to
terminate the Lease with respect to the entire Premises (if permitted) or only one (1) Wing, if applicable. In the event that Tenant
exercises its termination option hereunder, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date, whereupon
Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises, or the applicable portion thereof, in accordance with the provisions of this
Lease (except that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that Tenant terminates this Lease
with respect only to one (1) Wing, then the cost of any construction required to permit the operation of the Building separate
from the balance of the Premises, including the cost to construct a common corridor, if applicable, shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder), this Lease shall terminate with respect to the Premises, or the applicable portion thereof,
as if the Termination Date were the Lease Expiration Date set forth herein, and all Additional Rent shall be prorated as of the
Termination Date. Tenant’s right hereunder to terminate this Lease with respect to the Premises, or the applicable portion
thereof, shall be exercisable only if (1) Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, and (2) Tenant pays to Landlord, contemporaneously
with the giving of its Termination Notice, an amount equal to the then unamortized sum of (a) the Tenant Allowance (as defined
in the Work Agreement), (b) brokerage commissions incurred by Landlord with respect to this Lease and any amendments hereto, (c)
legal fees incurred by Landlord with respect to the documentation and negotiation of this Lease and any amendments hereto, (d)
Three Million Three Hundred Eight Thousand Six Hundred Forty-Seven and 50/100 Dollars ($3,308,647.50), and (e) compounded interest
imputed on the amounts set forth in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 42 at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum,(the
items set forth in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 42 being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Termination
Expenses”). The Termination Expenses payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be
in addition to the Rent coming due between the date of the Termination Notice and the Termination Date. Tenant shall pay the Termination
Expenses upon Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice.


 


		43.	EXPANSION SPACE.



 


A.Expansion
Space: At any time during the Term that Tenant is not in default hereunder, Tenant shall have the one-time right, at its sole
option, to give Landlord binding notice (the “Expansion Space Notice”) that Tenant desires to expand the Premises by
having additional square footage constructed at the North Wing of the Building (the “Expansion Space”). The Expansion
Space Notice shall set forth the approximate number of square feet of rentable area by which Tenant desires to expand into the
Expansion Space, and whether Tenant desires for Landlord to fund the costs of the construction of the expansion or whether Tenant
desires to fund the costs of the construction of the expansion itself, it being agreed that regardless of which party funds the
costs of the expansion, Landlord shall perform the actual construction of the Expansion Space.


 




    	 	51	 



     


    

 


B.    Governmental
Approvals: Following Landlord’s receipt of the Expansion Space Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate, at no cost
or liability to Landlord, in order to obtain all applicable governmental approvals which are required for the expansion of the
North Wing of the Building (the “Required Approvals”), which expansion shall be subject to plans and specifications
to be prepared by Tenant, and which plans and specifications shall be acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, in the good faith exercise
of their respective sole discretion (the “Expansion Space Plans and Specs”). Tenant shall not submit any version of
the Expansion Space Plans and Specs (whether preliminary or otherwise) to any governmental authority without Landlord’s express
prior written approval, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event that the
Required Approvals have not been obtained within nine (9) months following Landlord’s receipt of the Expansion Space Notice,
then Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord with respect to design, legal costs and permitting
of the expansion, and thereafter neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further obligations hereunder with respect to the development
or the construction of the Expansion Space.,


 


C.    Tenant’s
Obligation to Lease Expansion Space: On the date that the Required Approvals are obtained (it being agreed that this Lease
is not contingent upon Landlord obtaining the Required Approvals or on Tenant’s ability to lease the Expansion Space or on
any other factor concerning the Expansion Space), Tenant shall be obligated to lease from Landlord the Expansion Space, in accordance
with the terms of this Section 43. In such event, the Expansion Space shall become part of the Premises in accordance with the
terms of this Section 43, and Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the terms of the incorporation
of the Expansion Space into the Premises, in accordance with this Section 43.


 


D.    Landlord’s
Construction Financing:If the Expansion Space Notice states therein that Tenant desires for Landlord to fund the costs
of the Expansion Space, then promptly following the date that the Required Approvals have been obtained, Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain construction financing for the expansion on such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Landlord
in its reasonable discretion (the “Financing”), it being agreed that Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in
the event that Landlord fails to obtain such Financing for any reason. In the event that Landlord has not obtained such Financing
within ninety (90) days following receipt of the Required Approvals, then Landlord shall either (i) provide notice to Tenant that
Landlord has elected not to fund the costs of the expansion, and Landlord shall thereafter have no obligation to fund said expansion,
and Landlord’s obligation to construct the Expansion Space shall be contingent upon Tenant’s paying for all costs associated
therewith, or (ii) provide notice to Tenant that Landlord has entered into a term sheet with a lender for the Financing of the
expansion, in which event Landlord shall be permitted an additional sixty (60) days to obtain Financing for the expansion. In the
event that Landlord has not obtained Financing on or before the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, then Landlord shall be
deemed to have elected not to fund the costs of the expansion, and Landlord shall thereafter have no obligation to fund said expansion,
and Landlord’s obligation to construct the Expansion Space shall be contingent upon Tenant’s paying for all costs associated
therewith.


 


E.    Tenant’s
Option to Fund Expansion: In the event that Tenant’s Expansion Space Notice provides that Tenant has elected to fund
the costs of the Expansion Space, or in the event that Landlord does not obtain the Financing within the applicable time period(s)
set forth above and Tenant provides notice to Landlord that Tenant has elected to fund the construction of the Expansion Space,
then in either case, Tenant shall have the right to pay for all costs associated with the expansion from Tenant’s own source
of funds (i.e., with no contribution from Landlord). In the event that Tenant elects to obtain third party financing in order to
pay for the costs of the expansion, then Tenant hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) any such financing shall in no way encumber
the Building, the Land, or Tenant’s leasehold interest in this Lease, (ii) Landlord shall be under no obligation to modify
(in more than a de minimis manner) or waive any of its rights under this Lease as a result of such financing, and (iii) no such
financing shall increase any of Landlord’s obligations hereunder in more than a de minimis manner.


 




    	 	52	 



     


    

 


F.    Economic
Terms of Lease of Expansion Space if Funded by Landlord: From and after the date that Landlord delivers the Expansion Space
to Tenant substantially in the condition required by the Expansion Space Plans and Specs (the “Expansion Space Rent Commencement
Date”), such Expansion Space shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease then prevailing for the balance of
the Term (as may be extended), and, except with respect to the amount of Base Rent which is due and payable for the Expansion Space,
all economic and other terms of this Lease that vary with the size of the Premises shall be revised to include the Expansion Space,
including, but not limited to, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Tax Expenses.
The Base Rent per annum solely with respect to the Expansion Space (the “Expansion Space Base Rent”) for the period
commencing on the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date and continuing for the remainder of the twelve (12) month period that
commenced on the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) the sum of (a) the hard
costs of constructing the Expansion Space, (b) the Expansion Space Tenant Allowance (as hereinafter defined), (c) all soft costs
incurred by Landlord in connection with the preparation (to the extent applicable), review and approval of the Expansion Space
Plans and Specs, obtaining the Required Approvals, and constructing the Expansion Space, and (d) actual costs incurred by Landlord
in connection with the Financing of the construction of the Expansion Space, multiplied by (ii) the greater of (x) an amount equal
to the sum of six and one quarter percent (6.25%) plus the ten (10) year Treasury Rate as of the Expansion Space Rent Commencement
Date, or (y) eight and one half percent (8.5%), per annum. On the first anniversary of the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date
and on each anniversary of the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date thereafter during the Expansion Space Term, the Expansion
Space Base Rent shall be increased by an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the amount of Expansion Space Base
Rent in effect for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period.


 


G.    Economic
Terms of Lease of Expansion Space if Funded by Tenant: Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event
that Landlord constructs the Expansion Space at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, then (i) such Expansion Space shall be subject
to the terms and conditions of this Lease then prevailing for the balance of the Term (as may be extended), and all economic and
other terms of this Lease that vary with the size of the Premises shall be revised to include the Expansion Space, including, but
not limited to, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Tax Expenses, (ii) Tenant shall
not be required to pay Expansion Space Base Rent, and (iii) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent, within thirty (30)
days following Landlord’s written demand therefor, for all of Landlord’s costs incurred in connection with the review,
approval, and, if applicable, preparation of the Expansion Space Plans and Specs, obtaining the Required Approvals, and a coordination
fee in the amount of one percent (1%) of the hard costs of construction and interior improvements to the Expansion Space.


 




    	 	53	 



     


    

 


H.    Expansion
Space Lease Term; Stub Period: The term of Lease with respect to the Expansion Space (the “Expansion Space Term”)
shall be the greater of (x) a period of time such that it shall be coterminous with the Term of this Lease with respect to the
Premises originally demised hereunder (sometimes referred to in this Section 43 as the “Original Premises”), or (y)
ten (10) years from the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date. In the event that, upon the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date,
the remaining portion of the Term of this Lease with respect to the Original Premises is less than ten (10) years, then (i) the
remaining Term with respect to the Original Premises shall be automatically extended for a period (the “Stub Period”)
so that the Lease Expiration Date shall thereafter be the date that is ten (10) years after the Expansion Space Rent Commencement
Date, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 42 hereof, Tenant’s Termination Option and Section
42 of the Lease shall be automatically null and void and of no further force or effect as of the date that Tenant provides its
Expansion Space Notice. The Base Rent for the Original Premises during the Stub Period shall continue to escalate annually by the
Base Rent Annual Escalation Percentage, and Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any market concessions with respect to
the extension of the Term for the Stub Period. All other terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
during the Stub Period, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent for the Original Premises and
all Additional Rent coming due during the Stub Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 42 above,
in the event that the Stub Period is not necessary (i.e. in the event that the Expansion Space Term will be greater than ten (10)
years and will be coterminous with the initial Term as to the Original Premises), then the Termination Date, if applicable, shall
be effective as of the last day of the tenth (10th) year following the Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date, rather than the
last day of the 9th Lease Year.


 


I.    Execution
of Lease Amendment: Landlord shall provide Tenant with a draft amendment to this Lease incorporating the terms with respect
to the addition of the Expansion Space as determined by this Section 43 and not otherwise modifying any of the terms of this Lease,
and within thirty (30) days after delivery of such draft amendment, Landlord and Tenant shall execute such amendment to this Lease
setting forth the terms set forth in this Section 43 as to the Expansion Space. If Tenant shall fail to execute said amendment
to this Lease for the Expansion Space within such thirty (30) day period (as the same may be extended by Landlord ), then Tenant
and Landlord shall each remain bound by Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Space.


 




    	 	54	 



     


    

 


J.    Condition
of Expansion Space; Expansion Space Tenant Allowance. In the event that Landlord performs the construction of the Expansion
Space at Tenant’s cost, Tenant shall accept the Expansion Space in its then as-is condition on the date of delivery of the
Expansion Space by Landlord, provided that the then as-is condition of the Expansion Space is in accordance with the Expansion
Space Plans and Specs in all material respects (subject to any changes that were approved by Tenant during construction of the
Expansion Space), and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any other improvements or alterations to any portion of the Expansion
Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Landlord performs the construction of the Expansion Space at Landlord’s
cost, Landlord shall make available for Tenant’s interior improvements to the Expansion Space, an allowance (the "Expansion
Space Tenant Allowance") in an amount equal to the product of (i) Sixty-Five Dollars ($65.00) multiplied by (ii) the number
of rentable square feet comprising the Expansion Space. The Expansion Space Tenant Allowance shall be used by Tenant in connection
with all costs of improving the Expansion Space, including, but not limited to, the cost of all permits and governmental inspections,
the cost of professional services, consulting services, furniture, fixtures, equipment, wiring (IT and/or telecommunications),
all architectural and engineering fees, the preparation and delivery to Landlord of as-built plans, a coordination fee paid to
Landlord in the amount of one percent (1%) of the hard cost of the improvement to the Expansion Space, and any other work or services
required for Tenant to improve the Expansion Space, all of which costs shall be payable out of the Expansion Space Tenant Allowance
to the extent that the Expansion Space Tenant Allowance is sufficient for that purpose, and any excess amount of which costs shall
be paid directly by Tenant. Except as set forth in this Section 43.J, the terms and conditions governing the payment and use of
the Expansion Space Tenant Allowance shall be the same as those governing the payment and use of the Tenant Allowance with respect
to the Original Premises set forth in the Work Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit C, which terms and conditions shall be incorporated
into the amendment to be executed by the parties as provided in Section 43.I. above; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord
be obligated to finance or otherwise expend any sums in excess of the Expansion Space Tenant Allowance.

    	 	C-1	 



     


    

 


In the performance
of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws, codes and regulations. Tenant shall obtain all permits, certificates
and other governmental approvals from all governmental entities having jurisdiction thereover which are necessary for the prosecution
and completion of Tenant’s Work. Tenant’s Work shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of all permits and governmental
inspections, all architectural and engineering fees, the preparation and delivery to Landlord of a complete set of “as-built”
plans showing Tenant’s Work, in hard copy and an electronic version thereof which is acceptable to Landlord (the "As-Built
Plans") (which As-Built Plans shall be delivered to Landlord not later than the tenth (10th) day following the substantial
completion of Tenant’s Work).


 


Prior to commencing
Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall provide to Landlord the name and address of each contractor and subcontractor which Tenant intends
to employ to perform Tenant’s Work, the use of which subcontractors and contractors shall be subject to Landlord’s
prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if (1) the contractor or subcontractor
is properly licensed, and (2) neither Landlord nor any affiliate of Landlord has had no prior experience with such contractor or
subcontractor which was unsatisfactory to Landlord. Prior to the commencement of any of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord, with respect to each contractor and subcontractor which Tenant intends to employ to perform any of Tenant’s
Work, a certificate of insurance from each such contractor or subcontractor specifying Landlord as a named insured and evidencing
that each such contractor or subcontractor has obtained the applicable insurance coverages described in Section 17.B. of the Lease.


 


Said contractors and
subcontractors shall also comply with other reasonable industry requirements of Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a coordination
fee in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the cost of Tenant’s Work (the "Coordination Fee"), which Coordination
Fee shall be deducted from the Tenant Allowance to the extent that funds are available therefrom for such purpose or otherwise

		4.	TENANT ALLOWANCE.



 


Landlord shall make
available for the performance of Tenant's Work, and for the other purposes hereinafter specified, an allowance (the "Tenant
Allowance") in an amount equal to the product of (i) Sixty-Five Dollars ($65.00) multiplied by (ii) the number of
rentable square feet comprising the Premises. Tenant shall perform Tenant’s Work and, except as otherwise set forth below,
shall pay directly to its general contractor and other service providers and vendors the cost of performing all improvements shown
and contemplated by the Tenant's Plans, including, but not limited to, the cost of all permits and governmental inspections, all
architectural and engineering fees, project management fees paid to Tenant’s construction manager (the “Construction
Manager”), the preparation and delivery to Landlord of the "as-built" plans showing Tenant's Work, in hard copy
and an electronic version thereof which is acceptable to Landlord (the "As-Built Plans") (which As-Built Plans shall
be delivered to Landlord not later than the tenth (10th) day following the substantial completion of Tenant's Work), and the Coordination
Fee, all of which costs shall be payable out of the Tenant Allowance to the extent that the Tenant Allowance is sufficient for
that purpose, and any excess amount of which costs shall be paid directly by Tenant; provided, however, that (i) the portion of
the Tenant Allowance that may be used for moving costs, telephone systems, legal fees, project management fees to the Construction
Manager, the purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment to be used in the Premises, Tenant’s interior signage, and other
soft costs shall not exceed an amount in the aggregate which is equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Tenant Allowance (the
“Permitted Soft Costs Portion”) and (ii) no portion of the Permitted Soft Costs Portion shall be payable unless and
until Tenant’s Work has been completed.


 




    	 	C-2	 



     


    

 


Tenant shall have the
right to hire the Construction Manager to oversee Tenant’s Work, which Contraction Manager shall be subject to Landlord’s
prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant’s Construction Manager will coordinate
Tenant programming, approve design drawings on Tenant’s behalf, approve Tenant’s project schedule, approve change orders,
approve budgets and expenditures from the Tenant Allowance, ensure conformity of the construction to the Final Plans and Specifications,
and manage Tenant's specialty contractors.


 


Landlord shall pay
the Tenant Allowance to Tenant, or at Tenant’s written request, to Tenant’s general contractor or Construction Manager
(Tenant shall be required to pay all other service providers, including, without limitation, consultants, professionals, and vendors,
directly subject to reimbursement from the Tenant Allowance provided there are sufficient funds available for the same), monthly
following Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of (i) invoices reasonably evidencing work or services performed with respect to
the portion of Tenant’s Work for which payment of a portion of the Tenant Allowance is being requested, and (ii) waivers
or releases of liens from each of Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors and suppliers in connection with the work performed
or materials supplied as evidenced by the aforesaid invoices and by a written certification (including an AIA certification at
Landlord’s option) executed by Tenant's general contractor, describing in reasonable detail the items of Tenant's Work which
is the basis of Tenant's request for payment of the portion of the Tenant Allowance, and (iii) with respect only to the payment
of the final ten percent (10%) of the Tenant Allowance, the delivery of the As-Built Plans, copies of all final inspectional sign-offs
for the Tenant’s Work performed by applicable governmental authorities, and all maintenance manuals with respect to Tenant’s
Work. Each payment by Landlord shall be made within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of a draw request which complies
with the requirements of this Paragraph 4 and which is received by Landlord not later than the tenth (10th) day of the month in
which such draw request is submitted; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to retain ten percent (10%) of the
amount of the hard costs of Tenant’s Work contained in each such request until completion of Tenant’s Work. All of
the retained amounts shall be paid to Tenant upon completion of Tenant’s Work and satisfaction of the other requirements
of this Exhibit C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant is retaining amounts which are at least equal to those
required by the immediately preceding sentence from Tenant’s general contractor and Tenant’s payment request reflects
such retainage, then Landlord shall not impose an additional retainage upon such payment request. The portion of the Tenant’s
Work which shall be payable out of the Tenant Allowance shall be an amount equal to the portion of the Tenant’s Work which
has been completed. Any portion of the Tenant Allowance for which disbursement has not been properly requested prior to the Rent
Commencement Date shall be deemed to have been forfeited by Tenant and shall no longer be available to Tenant. Tenant shall have
no right to receive any portion of the Tenant Allowance, including, but not limited to, the Permitted Soft Costs Portion, at any
time that Tenant is in default under the Lease (until such time as the default is cured within the applicable notice and cure period
provided under the Lease).


 




    	 	C-3	 



     


    

 


Solely in the event
that Landlord fails to disburse the portion of the Tenant Allowance requested by Tenant in accordance with this Work Agreement,
Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with written demand for disbursement stating that Landlord shall have ten (10)
business days after such written demand therefor to pay the portion of the Tenant Allowance that is owed to Tenant in accordance
with this Work Agreement. If Tenant has fully complied with the terms of this Work Agreement with respect to the disbursement of
the portion of the Tenant Allowance which Tenant is requesting, and Landlord does not disburse such portion of the Tenant Allowance
within such ten (10) business day period following Tenant’s written demand therefor, then Tenant shall have the following
rights, as its sole and exclusive remedies for such failure: (a) to deduct an amount equal to the portion of the Tenant Allowance
requested in accordance with the terms of this Work Agreement and not paid by Landlord (plus interest on the unpaid portion thereof
at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum with respect to any portion of such costs which remain unpaid for three (3) consecutive
months) (such amount being referred to herein as the “Reimbursable Costs”) from Tenant’s next installment(s)
of Monthly Base Rent coming due under the Lease until such time as Tenant has recovered all of the Reimbursable Costs, and (b)
if such failure by Landlord to disburse any portion of the Reimbursable Costs continues for a period of twelve (12) consecutive
months after the date that such Reimbursable Costs initially became due and payable to Tenant hereunder, to file suit against Landlord
to recover the Reimbursable Costs (it being agreed that Tenant shall have the right to pursue any combination of the remedies set
forth in clauses (a) and (b) hereof until the full amount of the Reimbursable Costs have been received or credited to Tenant, but
that such remedies may not be pursued concurrently). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant exercises its offset
right pursuant to this Paragraph 4, and a court of competent jurisdiction later determines that Tenant was not entitled to some
or all of the amount which was offset, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days following the date of issuance
of a final, unappealable order by such court, the full amount that was found to have been improperly offset, together with interest
thereon at the Default Rate from the date of offset through the date of reimbursement of such amount by Tenant to Landlord.


 


		5.	CHANGES IN TENANT'S WORK



 


Tenant shall not have
the right to order extra work or change orders with respect to the construction of Tenant’s Work without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Tenant may
order extra work or change orders with respect to the construction of Tenant’s Work without Landlord’s consent (each
a “Permitted Change”), so long as such Permitted Change (i) does not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per
order or Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000.00) in the aggregate, and (ii) does not affect any of the Building operating systems
or any of the structural components of the Building. Tenant shall pay for any and all increases in the actual cost of constructing
Tenant’s Work in excess of the Tenant Allowance (and the Tenant Reimbursement Improvements Amount Cap, if applicable) occasioned
by a change to the Tenant's Plans requested by Tenant.
