 LEASE AGREEMENT 

This Lease Agreement (“Lease”) is made and entered into as of December 29, 2014, by and between 111 MPA LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business at c/o Marcus Partners, Inc., 260 Franklin Street, Suite 620, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (the “Landlord”) and ALZHEON, INC., a Delaware corporation with
its principal place of business at 11 Speen Street, Framingham, Massachusetts 01701 (the “Tenant”). 
 
ARTICLE 1. GRANT 
 1.1 Premises. Landlord, for and in consideration of the rents herein reserved and of the
covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be performed, hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant accepts from Landlord, certain space shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, containing 3,317
rentable square feet in area (the “Premises”), situated on the third (3rd) floor in the office building located at 111 Speen Street, Framingham, Massachusetts 01701 (the
“Building”). The Premises, Building, the “Common Areas” (defined below) and the land upon which the same are located, which is legally described in Exhibit B (the “Land”), together with all
other improvements thereon and thereunder are collectively referred to as the “Property.” 
 1.2 Common
Areas. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant during the term of this Lease, a license to use, in common with the others entitled to such use, the Common Areas, subject to the rights, powers and privileges herein reserved to Landlord and
Landlord’s “Rules and Regulations” (as defined in Section 7.4 below). The term “Common Areas” as used herein includes all areas and facilities outside the Premises that are provided
and designated by Landlord for general non-exclusive use and convenience of Tenant, and the other tenants and occupants of the Building, from time to time. Common Areas include but are not limited to common
hallways, lobbies, stairways, elevators, and other areas or facilities within the Building for the general use convenience and benefit of Tenant and other tenants and occupants of the Building; and the common parking areas associated with the
Building (subject to the provisions of Section 1.3 below); the common walkways, sidewalks, landscaped areas, loading areas and driveways and areas associated with the Building. 

1.3 Parking. During the “Term” of this Lease (as defined in Section 2.1), Tenant
shall be entitled to use the surface parking facilities at the Property in common with other Building tenants and occupants, but such right shall be limited to four (4) non-exclusive tenant parking
spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet demised hereunder. Tenant will notify its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees (the “Tenant Parties”) of this parking provision. The foregoing shall not be deemed to
provide Tenant with an exclusive right to any parking spaces or any guaranty of the availability of any particular parking spaces. The Tenant’s use of the parking facilities is available on a
non-exclusive first-come, first-served basis. Tenant agrees not to overburden the parking facilities and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other Building tenants and occupants in the use of parking
facilities. Landlord may designate parking facilities at the Property for the handicapped, visitors to the Building and for use by other tenants. Landlord may install signage or implement a pass or sticker system to control parking use, and may
employ valet parking to meet the requirements of this Section. To the extent applicable to Tenant’s use of the parking spaces, the provisions of this Lease shall apply, including Rules and Regulations of general applicability from time to time
promulgated by Landlord. 
 1.4 Office Furniture. During the Term, Tenant shall be permitted to use the furniture located
within the Premises on the Commencement Date, an inventory of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Existing Furniture”). Tenant accepts such furniture “as-is” in its
present state and condition and Landlord makes no representations or warranties with respect to same. Tenant shall take good care of and shall repair and maintain such furniture and personal property in substantially the same condition as exists on
the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, at Tenant’s sole cost, and at all times during the Term. At the end of the Term, Tenant shall leave the Existing Furniture in the Premises. Landlord shall have

Table of Contents


 
access to the Premises upon reasonable advance notice and during Normal Business Hours, during the ninety (90) day period immediately prior to the expiration (or sooner termination) of the
Term for the purpose of bringing contractors and/or furniture vendors through the Premises in order to quote on and prepare for the removal of such furniture. 

ARTICLE 2. TERM 

2.1 Lease Term. 

2.1.1 Commencement Date; Term. The Premises are leased for a term (the “Term”) to commence on the
“Commencement Date” (as defined in Section 3.2) and shall end on the date (the “Expiration Date”) that is the last day of the thirty-sixth
(36th) full calendar month following the “Rent Commencement Date” (as defined in Section 4.1 below) unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Subject
to operation of Article 3 below, the Term comprises thirty-nine (39) full calendar months plus any partial monthly period (if the Commencement Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar month). 

2.1.2 Lease Year Defined. The first “Lease Year” shall begin on the Commencement Date and shall end on the last day of
the twelfth (12th) full calendar month following the Rent Commencement Date. Each Lease Year thereafter shall consist of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months following the end of the immediately preceding Lease Year. 

2.2 Holding Over. In the event that Tenant retains possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, after the end of the Term
(by lapse of time otherwise), Tenant shall pay Landlord for each day that Tenant remains in possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, at the rate (the “Holdover Rate”) which shall be equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%)
of the Annual Base Rent payable during the last month of the Lease Term, plus all Additional Rent at the rates payable during the last month of the Lease Term. Such holding over shall constitute renewal of this Lease for a period from month to month
at the Holdover Rate, but if the Landlord does not so elect, no such renewal shall result notwithstanding acceptance by Landlord of any sums due hereunder after such termination; and instead, a tenancy at sufferance at the Holdover Rate shall be
deemed to have been created. In addition, if such holdover continues for more than 60 days, Landlord may recover consequential damages it sustains by reason of Tenant’s retention of possession of the Premises thereafter. The provisions hereof
do not limit or restrict Landlord’s rights or remedies under this Lease in the event of any holding over by Tenant. 
 
ARTICLE 3. COMPLETION AND OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES 
 3.1 Landlord’s Work 

3.1.1 Tenant’s Inspection. Landlord shall perform the work listed below (using “building standard”
materials and finishes) to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy (the “Landlord’s Work”): 

(a) Install new carpet within the Premises; 

(b) Install new indirect lighting and ceiling tiles; and 

(c) Provide new paint within the Premises. 

Except for Landlord’s Work, Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant “AS IS.” Landlord makes no representations or
warranties whatsoever with respect to the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that it has had full, adequate and complete opportunity to inspect the Premises, and that it is fully and completely satisfied therewith. If any repairs, improvements or work in
addition to Landlord’s Work should be necessary to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy, Tenant shall perform such additional work at its own cost and expense, and shall comply with Article 8 in doing so.

 3.1.2 Target Commencement Date. Landlord shall not have any obligation to
make any repairs, to construct any improvements or to perform any other work to the Premises other than Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete Landlord’s Work and deliver possession of the Premises
to Tenant on or before January 15, 2018 (the “Target Commencement Date”). In order to complete Landlord’s Work by such date, Tenant agrees to make all tenant finish selections within five (5) business days following
execution of this Lease. If Landlord’s Work is not completed by such date, then the Commencement Date and the Rent Commencement Date (and Tenant’s corresponding obligation to begin paying rent hereunder) shall be delayed on a per day basis
for each day until such work is so completed. Such postponement of Term commencement shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for Landlord’s failure substantially to complete Landlord’s Work by such date. Tenant may not terminate
this Lease on account thereof, nor shall Landlord have any liability to Tenant therefor. If the Commencement Date is so postponed, then the Expiration Date shall be correspondingly extended so that the length of the Term shall remain the number of
years indicated in Section 2.1, notwithstanding such delay. 
 3.1.3 Early Access by Tenant.
Landlord agrees to permit Tenant access to the Premises during the ten (10) day period immediately preceding the Target Commencement Date for the purpose of Tenant moving certain tangible personal property into the Premises. Tenant agrees to
coordinate its activities with Landlord and not to interfere with any of the Landlord’s Work under construction at such time. Tenant’s use of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date shall be governed by all of the terms and conditions
of the Lease other than with respect to Tenant’s obligations for payment of Rent. 
 3.2 Commencement Date. The Term of this
Lease and the obligations of the parties hereto shall commence on a date (the “Commencement Date”) which shall be the sooner of: (a) the date that Tenant commences operation of its business in all or any portion of the Premises; or
(b) the date that Landlord completes Landlord’s Work and delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. 
 3.3 Tenant’s
Systems. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall design, install, construct and maintain Tenant’s data, telephone, audio-visual, internet and video systems (“Tenant’s Communications Systems”) and Tenant’s furniture,
equipment and security systems (collectively, the “Tenant’s Systems”) within the Premises and the related wiring within the Building necessary for the operation thereof. Landlord will
permit Tenant and its agents, architects, engineers, space planners, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen (“Tenant’s Agents and Consultants”) to have access to the Premises and the Building for the purposes of
measuring and planning work related to Tenant’s Systems (at the sole risk of such parties and without liability to Landlord) for such purposes subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. The design, plans and specifications for the
wiring, cabling and equipment for Tenant’s Communication System, and its locations and connections from within the Premises to the Building risers, conduits and systems shall be subject to Landlord’s prior review and approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable prior written notice of any construction work relating to Tenant’s Systems that involves or affects any Building systems, and all such work shall be
coordinated with Landlord and subject to Landlord prior approval and supervision. 
 3.4 Confirmatory Amendments When the
Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date and Expiration Date hereof have been determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Lease, the parties hereto shall execute a document in recordable form, setting forth said dates and said
document shall be deemed a supplement to and part of this Lease. The parties hereto agree to execute such confirmatory document not later than ten (10) days following the Commencement Date, but either party’s failure to do so shall not
affect the validity of the determination of such dates.

4.1 Annual Base Rent. 

4.1.1 Schedule of Monthly Rent Payments. Beginning on the ninety-first (91st) day

shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month in advance in the monthly amount set forth below: 
  

													
	 Period
	  	Annual Base Rent	 	  	Annual Base Rent per
Rentable Square Foot	 	  	Monthly Base Rent	 
	 Abatement Period:

	 Lease Year 1:

	 Lease Year 3
	  	$	97,851.50	 	  	$	29.50	 	  	$	8,154.29	 

 4.1.2 Manner of Payment. All payments of rent shall be made without demand, deduction, counterclaim, set-off, discount or abatement in lawful money of the United States of America. If the Rent Commencement Date should occur on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or the Expiration Date should occur
on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the monthly installment of Annual Base Rent for such fractional month shall be payable on such date, prorated upon a daily basis based upon a thirty
(30)-day month, and all subsequent payments shall be due on or before the first day of each subsequent calendar month of the Term. 

4.1.3 Abatement Period. The scheduled monthly installments of Annual Base Rent for the first three (3) months of the Term (the
“Abatement Period”) shall not be due by Tenant so long as no Event of Default has occurred under this Lease, provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of the “Electrical Charge”
under Section 5.4 during the Abatement Period. Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent payable for the Abatement Period pursuant to the terms of this Lease. The entire monthly installments of Annual Base Rent otherwise due and
payable for the Abatement Period shall become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. 

4.2 Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all charges and other amounts required under this Lease and the same shall
constitute additional rent hereunder (herein called “Additional Rent”), including, without limitation, any sums due resulting from the provisions of Article 5 hereof. All such amounts and charges shall be payable to Landlord
in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof. Landlord shall have the same remedies for a default in the payment of Additional Rent as for a default in the payment of Annual Base Rent. The term “Rent” as used in
this Lease shall mean the Annual Base Rent and the Additional Rent. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, that Rent shall continue to be payable in
all events and that the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall continue unaffected, unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledges and
agrees that the independent nature of the obligations of Tenant hereunder represents fair, reasonable, and accepted commercial practice with respect to the type of property subject to this Lease. Such acknowledgments by Tenant are a material
inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease. 
 4.3 Place of Payment. The Annual Base Rent and all other sums payable to
Landlord under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord at c/o Marcus Partners, Inc., 260 Franklin Street, Suite 620, Boston, MA 02110, or at such other place as Landlord shall designate in writing to Tenant from time to time. If an Event of Default
occurs, Landlord may require by notice to Tenant that all subsequent Rent payments be made by an automatic payment from Tenant’s bank account to Landlord’s account, without cost to Landlord. Tenant must


  
 4 







Table of Contents


 
implement such automatic payment system within ten (10) days after Landlord’s notice. Unless specified in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts and sums payable by Tenant to Landlord
pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed Additional Rent. 
 4.4 Terms of Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Annual Base
Rent as provided in Section 4.1 above and Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent payable under Article 5 and Article 6 on the terms provided therein. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and
as may otherwise be expressly provided by the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of bills or statements therefor: (a) sums equal to all expenditures made and
monetary obligations incurred by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease for Tenant’s account; and (b) all other sums of money accruing from Tenant to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease. 

4.5 Late Charges. If Tenant shall fail to pay any Rent within five (5) days after the date same is due and payable or if
any check received by Landlord from Tenant shall be dishonored, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s actual damages resulting therefrom are difficult to fix or ascertain. As a result, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (a) an administrative fee equal
to five percent (5%) per month on each unpaid monthly installment until paid, and (b) interest on the amount due from its due date until paid at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum legal rate that Landlord may charge
Tenant; provided, that, on the first (1st) occasion only during each Lease Year, no such charges or interest shall be payable with respect to any delinquent payment if such payment is received by Landlord within five (5) days
following written notice of such failure. Such charges shall be paid to Landlord together with such unpaid amounts as an administrative fee to compensate Landlord for administrative expenses and its cost of funds. 

4.6 Letter of Credit. 

4.6.1 Amount; Requirements. On the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord as security for the performance of the
obligations of Tenant hereunder a letter of credit in the initial amount of [$23,219.00] (the “Initial Amount”) in accordance with this Section 4.6 (as renewed, replaced and/or reduced pursuant to this
Section 4.6, the “Letter of Credit”). Tenant’s failure to timely deliver the Letter of Credit to Landlord shall constitute a default under this Lease, without the benefit of any notice or cure period
under Article 13 hereof. The Letter of Credit (a) shall be irrevocable and shall be issued by a U.S. commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord that has an office for presentment in the Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan area, in
a form substantially similar to the form attached as Exhibit F, (b) shall require only the presentation to the issuer of a certificate of the holder of the Letter of Credit stating that Landlord is entitled to draw on the Letter of
Credit pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (c) shall be payable to Landlord or its successors in interest as the Landlord, and shall be freely transferable without cost to Landlord, any such successor or any lender holding a collateral
assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease, (d) shall be for an initial term of not less than one (1) year and contain a provision that such term shall be automatically renewed for successive
one-year periods unless the issuer shall, at least sixty (60) days prior to the scheduled expiration date, give Landlord notice of such non-renewal, and
(e) shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord. 
 4.6.2 Collateral Assignment by Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of the Letter of Credit for the final period shall be for a term ending not earlier than the date sixty (60) days after the last day of the Term. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may be required to
pledge the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any lender holding a collateral assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease and agrees to provide Landlord with such documentation as Landlord may reasonably request, and to cooperate with
Landlord as is necessary, to evidence the consent by the issuer of the Letter of Credit to such pledge. 
 4.6.3 Right to Draw Letter of
Credit. Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit in part, or for its full amount (a) if Tenant shall be in default under the Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period (or if Tenant has failed to
timely pay Rent or perform any of its other obligations under the Lease and transmittal of a default notice or running of any cure period is barred or tolled by applicable law), (b) if, not less than thirty (30) days before the scheduled
expiration of the Letter of Credit, Tenant has not delivered to Landlord a new Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 4.6 (which failure shall be deemed a default without the benefit of any notice or cure period;
provided, however, that 

  
 5 







Table of Contents


 
Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with at least five (5) days prior written notice before it draws the Letter of Credit as a result of such failure; and provided, further,
however, that such default may not give rise to an Event of Default as defined herein, and with respect to any such default (i) Landlord’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to draw upon the letter of credit as set forth above, and
(ii) Landlord shall not have any of the remedies set forth in Section 13), or (c) if the credit rating of the long-term debt of the issuer of the Letter of Credit (according to Moody’s or similar national rating agency) is
downgraded to a grade below investment rate), or if the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall enter into any supervisory agreement with any Governmental Authority (as defined herein), or if the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall fail to meet any
capital requirements imposed by applicable law. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, apply the amount so drawn to the extent necessary to cure Tenant’s default under the Lease and/or make any payment due to Landlord hereunder on account
of such default, including, without limitation, any unpaid Rent, any damages arising from a termination of the Lease in accordance with its terms, and for any damages arising from any rejection of this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding commenced by
or against Tenant. Any amount drawn in excess of the amount applied by Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be held by Landlord as a security deposit for the performance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder. Said security
deposit may be mingled with other funds of Landlord, and no fiduciary relationship shall be created with respect to such deposit, nor shall Landlord be liable to pay interest thereon. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this
Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obliged to, apply the security deposit to the extent necessary to cure the default and/or make any payments due to Landlord hereunder on account of such default. After any such application by Landlord of the
Letter of Credit or security deposit, Tenant shall reinstate the Letter of Credit to the amount originally required to be maintained hereunder, upon demand (and, upon such reinstatement, Landlord shall return any cash security deposit then being
held by Landlord to Tenant). Within sixty (60) days after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, the Letter of Credit and any security deposit, to the extent not applied, shall be returned to the Tenant, without interest, For
purposes of this Section 4.6, a default shall also include any default that is prevented or delayed from ripening into a default due to Landlord’s inability to give any required notice or the tolling of any grace or
cure period caused by any stay or injunction arising from the bankruptcy of Tenant. 
 4.6.4 Transfer of Property; Release of
Landlord. In the event of a sale of the Property or lease, conveyance or transfer of the Property, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security to the transferee (“New Landlord”). Upon such transfer, and provided that
such New Landlord’s acknowledges in writing its receipt of, and responsibility to Tenant for, such security, Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security; and Tenant agrees to look to the New
Landlord solely for the return of said security. The provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security to a New Landlord. Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber
the Letter of Credit or the monies deposited herein as security, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. It is agreed that the provisions
hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of said Letter of Credit to New Landlord. 
 ARTICLE 5.

Landlord’s invoice therefor. 
 5.3 Payment of Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent,
Tenant’s Share of all Operating Expenses in respect of each Expense Year to the extent Operating Expenses for each such Expense Year shall exceed Base Expenses. Tenant shall pay a sum equal to one-twelfth

that, Landlord shall have the right initially to determine such monthly estimates and to revise such estimates from time to time. After the expiration of the Base Expense Year and each Expense Year, Landlord shall prepare and furnish Tenant
with Landlord’s Statement showing the Base Expenses or the Operating Expenses incurred during such Expense Year. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s Statement for any Expense Year setting forth Tenant’s Share of
any Expense Increase attributable to such Expense Year, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of such Expense Increase (less the amount of estimated payments paid by Tenant on account thereof) to Landlord as Additional Rent, and Landlord shall refund

 5.4 Payment of Electric
Expense. 
 5.4.1 Base Electric Charge. During any period that the “Electrical Charge” (as defined herein)

defined in Section 6.1 below) used or consumed in connection with lighting and general electric services in the Premises, exclusive of any space for which a separate meter has been provided to measure such use and
consumption (the “Electrical Charge”). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Commencement Date, the Electrical Charge for calendar year 2015 shall be payable at the rate of $1.75 and 00/100 Dollars ($1.75) per square foot
per annum for each square foot contained in the Premises (the “Base Electric Charge”) payable as Additional Rent, in equal monthly installments of Four Hundred Eighty-Three and 00/100 Dollars ($483.73) commencing on the Commencement
Date and continuing on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter occurring during the Term. Landlord has established the Base Electric Charge based upon a survey report of a third party
engineering consultant and the presently installed electric facilities in the Premises and the current rate of payment established by the utility company for such electric service.

Table of Contents


 
The Base Electric Charge relates to Tenant’s lights, plugs, receptacles and general office equipment; but does not include electric current for any of Tenant’s special equipment and
facilities which shall be payable by Tenant as provided in Section 6.6 below. 
 5.4.2 Rate Increases;
Estimated Payments. During the Term (at any time after the date of this Lease), Tenant’s rate of payment shall increase from time to time based upon any increase in and the rate at which Landlord purchases electric energy from the public
utility company supplying electric current for the Building, or any tax is imposed on Landlord’s receipt from the sale or resale of electrical energy to Tenant by any Federal State or Municipal authority, or any increase in any charges incurred
or taxes payable by Landlord in connection therewith, or any increase in Tenant’s proportionate share of the actual tenant electrical expense for the Building. Following any such rate increase or other change affecting the Base Electric Charge
and written notice to Tenant, this Lease shall automatically be modified by increasing the Additional Rent payable hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term in accordance with this Section and, as evidence of such modification, notice of any such
increase in the Electrical Charge shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant. Any such increase in the Additional Rent shall be effective as of the date of any such increase in cost or other charge to Landlord and shall be retroactive to such date, if
necessary. In any such case, Landlord shall have the right to furnish Tenant with an estimate (which estimate may be changed by Landlord from time to time) of the resulting increased payment amount in addition to the Base Electric Charge, and, upon
and after the furnishing of any such estimate, Tenant shall, in addition to the Base Electric Charge, pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the increased amount, payable on the first (1st) day of each month during the term, in advance. Tenant’s Electrical Charge shall also be subject to increase based upon Landlord’s determination of a change in Tenant’s electric
consumption as determined by Landlord’s independent consultant. Landlord shall also have the right to issue supplemental billing to Tenant from time to time for the Electrical Charge to account for any increases in electric consumption or
increases in the cost of providing such Electric Service (as set forth above). 
 5.4.3 Reconciliation of Estimated Payments. After
the end of each calendar year during which Tenant shall have made any payments based upon Landlord’s estimate under Section 5.4.2 above, and after the end of the Term, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement of the
actual increase in Electrical Charge for the preceding calendar year over the Base Electric Charge, and if the Electrical Charge so stated for such period is (i) more than the amount paid for such period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
deficiency within thirty (30) days after submission of such statement, or (ii) less than the amount paid for such period, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of such excess against amounts next coming due under this
paragraph (or a payment from Landlord within thirty (30) days in the case of the end of the Term). Any such adjustment shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. 

5.5 Landlord’s Statements. 

5.5.1 Landlord’s Statements and Tenant’s Inspection Rights. Landlord will deliver Landlord’s Statements to Tenant during
the Term. Landlord’s delay or failure to render Landlord’s Statement with respect to the Base Expense Year, any Expense Year or any Tax Year beyond a date specified herein shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to render a
Landlord’s Statement with respect to that or any subsequent Expense Year or subsequent Tax Year. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the provisions of this Article with respect to any Additional Rent incurred during the Term shall
survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Term. If Landlord fails to give Tenant a statement of projected Operating Expenses prior to the commencement of any Expense Year, Tenant shall continue to pay Operating Expenses in accordance
with the previous statement, until Tenant receives a new statement from Landlord. 
 5.5.2 Tenant’s Right to Audit. During the
sixty (60)-day period after receipt of any Landlord’s Statement (the “Review Period”), Tenant may, upon prior notice to Landlord, inspect and audit Landlord’s records relevant to the
cost and expense items reflected in such Landlord’s Statement at a reasonable time mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant during Landlord’s usual business hours at the management office where such records are maintained. Tenant shall be
entitled to retain an independent company or certified public accountant to review Landlord’s relevant records to determine if the proper amount of Additional Rent was charged to Tenant for such period, provided that such company
or accountant must be employed on a regular fee for services basis and not a contingent fee basis. Each Landlord’s

Table of Contents


 
Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within sixty (60) days after receipt of such Landlord’s Statement Tenant shall have completed such inspection and audit and
shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness of Landlord’s Statement, specifying the respects in which Landlord’s Statement is claimed to be incorrect. If such audit or review reveals that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, then
within fifteen (15) days after the results of such audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of such overcharge. If the audit reveals that Tenant was undercharged, then within fifteen (15) days
after the results of the audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the amount of such undercharge. If Landlord desires to contest such audit results, Landlord may do so by submitting the results of the audit to arbitration
pursuant to Section 13.9 of the Lease within sixty (60) days of receipt of the results of the audit, and the arbitration shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit,
provided that, if the audit reveals that Landlord’s determination of such Additional Rent as set forth in any statement sent to Tenant was in error in Landlord’s favor by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost
of such audit. Pending the determination of such dispute as hereinafter provided, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent in accordance with the applicable Landlord’s Statement, and such payment shall be without prejudice to Tenant’s position.
All inspections and audits of Landlord’s books and records and any arbitration shall be subject to a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord. 

5.6 Adjustments. If the actual amount of Tenant’s Share of the Expense Increases for any Expense Year or Tenant’s
Share of Tax Increases for any Tax Year exceeds the estimated amount thereof paid by Tenant for such Expense Year or Tax Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the estimated amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount of such
Additional Rent payable by Tenant. This Additional Rent payment shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days following delivery of Landlord’s Statement. If the total amount of estimated payments made by Tenant in respect of
Tenant’s Share of Expense Increases for such Expense Year or Tenant’s Share of Tax Increases for any Tax Year shall exceed the actual amount of such Additional Rent payable by Tenant, then such excess amount shall be credited against the
monthly installments of Additional Rent due and payable from Tenant to Landlord hereunder until such amount shall have been refunded in full to Tenant. Any excess payments made by Tenant during the Term that have not been so applied and are
outstanding at the end of the Term shall be paid to Tenant promptly following delivery of Landlord’s Statement for the final Expense Year and final Tax Year, as applicable. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises,
when final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Expense Increases or Tax Increases for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall pay any increase due over the estimated Expense Increases or Tax Increases paid within fifteen
(15) days after Landlord’s delivery of Landlord’s Statement therefor.

furnish any of such services when such failure is caused by accidents, the making of repairs, alterations or improvements, labor difficulties, difficulty in obtaining adequate supply of fuel, electricity, steam, water or other service or supplies
from the sources from which they are usually obtained for the Building, or governmental constraints or any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, shall not result in any liability to Landlord. Tenant shall not be entitled to any
abatement or reduction of rent by reason of such failure, no eviction of Tenant shall result from such failure and Tenant shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease. In the event of any failure, stoppage or
interruption thereof, Landlord shall diligently attempt to resume service promptly.

increases in the actual cost for such utility services as charged to Landlord by the utility companies or other third parties providing such services. This amount shall constitute Additional Rent and shall be payable in accordance with
Section 4.4.

installation of one or more supplemental air conditioning units to cool non-standard, heat-producing equipment or facilities in the Premises, (the “Supplemental HVAC Equipment”), such as
equipment located in a computer server room or other areas of the Premises dedicated to the operation of such heat-producing equipment, then Tenant agrees that Tenant, at its expense, shall be responsible for the operation, maintenance,
repair, and replacement of all such Supplemental HVAC Equipment, and payment, as Additional Rent, of all consumption costs and charges for all electricity, energy, and other utilities used in connection therewith and the installation of metering
equipment to measure its utility consumption.

Equipment on an annual average basis, taking into account, the then prevailing rates charged by the applicable utility companies, the space layout, rentable area of the Premises, occupancy load, hours of operation of such Supplemental HVAC Equipment
and other reasonable factors, plus the administrative charge. Tenant shall have the option to install, at Tenant’s expense, a sub-meter to measure the energy usage of its Supplemental HVAC Equipment,
subject to Landlord’s right of prior approval of the type and model of sub-metering equipment, the proposed location and wiring plan, thereof and the plans and specifications therefor. In such case,
Landlord will obtain periodic meter readings and have the right to bill Tenant for such energy consumption on a monthly or other periodic basis (as determined by Landlord) based upon the quantity of consumption shown on the sub-meter and the

then prevailing rates charged by the applicable utility companies, plus such administrative charge. Landlord’s invoice for such energy usage by the Supplemental HVAC Equipment shall be due
and payable within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s delivery of its invoice. 
 6.7 Landlord’s Right to Install

than the sole use specifically set forth above or in any illegal manner, or in any manner that, in Landlord’s judgment, would adversely affect or interfere with any services required to be furnished by Landlord to Tenant or to any other tenant
or occupant of the Building, or with the proper and economical rendition of any such service, or with the use and enjoyment of any part of the Building by any other tenant or occupant. Tenant agrees that it will not exceed the maximum floor bearing

rule, permit or license, (b) cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, at or on the Premises, and (c) commit any waste. Tenant agrees not to permit any occupancy or use of the Premises nor to engage in any other activity in the Building
which would materially interfere with telecommunications, computer, or utility systems, installations, or services of other tenants or occupants so long as the same are of a type customarily found in first class office buildings. If noises,
vibrations, odors, operating methods, or conditions of cleanliness of the Premises or any appurtenance thereto materially interfere with first class office uses of other occupied areas in the Building, Tenant shall undertake such additional
protective measures as may be necessary to eliminate the material interference (such as additional noise or vibration damping or additional venting). Tenant shall keep all such areas of the Premises clean at all times and all trash, refuse and

the same as Additional Rent. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant agrees to pay, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed against Tenant and which become payable during the Term hereof upon Tenant’s equipment, furniture,

ARTICLE 8. ALTERATIONS, IMPROVEMENTS AND SIGNAGE 

8.1 Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord will maintain in good repair, reasonable wear and use, (except casualty and

use which shall be Tenant’s responsibility). The cost of this maintenance, repair and replacement (as necessary) shall be included in Operating Expenses and shall be subject to reimbursement under Article 5 hereof to the extent provided
therein. Maintenance and repair expenses caused by Tenant’s willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions shall be paid directly to Landlord by Tenant in accordance with Section 4.4, and shall not constitute an

each such case excepting casualty, condemnation or normal wear and tear, and in compliance with all Laws. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.1 above, Tenant shall maintain, at its own expense, in at least the same
condition as when it was tendered to Tenant on the Commencement Date, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, all installations, fixtures and HVAC equipment dedicated to Tenant’s exclusive use, including any Supplemental HVAC Equipment
(whether or not located within the Premises). Subject to Section 7.3 above, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, promptly comply with all governmental orders and directions for the correction, prevention or abatement of any violations or
nuisances in or upon, or connected with, the Premises. Tenant shall repair, at its cost, all deteriorations or damages to the Property occasioned by its negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct. If Tenant does not make such repairs to the

foregoing, Landlord’s prior written 

  
 20 







Table of Contents


 
consent shall not be required for Alterations to the Premises which do not involve or affect the structural portions of the Premises or the Building (the “Building Structure”) or
any of the Building’s HVAC, mechanical, electrical, telecommunications, cabling, plumbing or other systems or equipment (the “Building Systems”) or the interior walls or corridors within the Premises, and which do not require a
building permit and which do not exceed $20,000.00 in the aggregate on an annual basis (“Permitted Alterations”); provided, however that Tenant must provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice (with a reasonably
detailed description of the scope and cost thereof and the identity of the contractors performing such work) to Landlord of such proposed work in the Premises, and must promptly provide Landlord with any related information reasonably requested by
Landlord. 
 8.3.2 Construction Standards. All Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant shall be made and performed:

naming Landlord and Tenant as additional insureds, (b) in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with all Laws, (c) so that same shall be at least equal in quality, value, and utility to the original work or installation and shall be
in conformity with Landlord’s building standard specifications in effect at such time, (d) in accordance with all Laws, and (e) except with respect to Permitted Alterations, pursuant to plans, drawings and specifications
(“Tenant’s Plans”) which have been reviewed and approved by Landlord prior to the commencement of the repairs or replacements and approved by, and filed with, all applicable governmental authorities (the “Construction
Standards”). In any event Landlord may charge Tenant a reasonable construction management fee, not to exceed 2% of the cost of such work, to cover its overhead as it related to such proposed work, plus third-party costs actually incurred by
Landlord in connection with the proposed work and the design thereof (with no mark-up or profit to Landlord), with all such amounts being due five (5) days after Landlord’s written demand. 

8.3.3 Insurances; Taxes. Tenant shall, prior to construction, provide the additional insurance required under Article
9 in such case, and also all such assurances to Landlord as Landlord shall reasonably require to assure payment of the costs thereof, including, but not limited to, notices of non-responsibility, waivers

in real estate taxes attributable to any such alteration, addition or improvement for so long, during the Term, as such increase is ascertainable; at Landlord’s election said sums shall be paid in the same way as sums due under Article
4. 
 8.4 Tenant’s Property. Tenant must, at its sole cost, remove, upon termination of this Lease, any and all
personal property, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, data and telecommunications cabling and wiring installed by or on behalf of Tenant and placed in the Premises by Tenant (the “Tenant’s Property”). Tenant shall, at its

Tenant’s Property or Alterations which have been attached to or installed in the Premises unless Landlord consents to a written request from Tenant at the time of its approval of the Tenant’s plans that a building standard, non-specialty installation need not be so removed. If Tenant fails to remove any Tenant’s Property or Alterations that Tenant is required to remove pursuant to this Section 8.5 by the
Expiration Date, or the sooner date of termination of this Lease then Landlord may remove the same and, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of repairs of any damage to the Premises or Building in connection therewith. In lieu of requiring Tenant
to remove such Tenant’s Property 

  
 21

and Alterations and repair the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant delivered at least thirty (30) days before the Expiration Date, require Tenant to pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, the cost of such removal and repair in an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord. 
 8.6
Surrender. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Tenant will quietly and peacefully surrender to Landlord the Premises in as good condition as when Tenant took possession, ordinary wear and tear, condemnation and
damage by fire or other casualty excepted, and otherwise as is required in Article 8. In addition, at such time Tenant shall remove all Hazardous Substances stored, or disposed of, or generated by Tenant in its use or operation of the
Premises and all equipment and materials contaminated or affected by such Hazardous Substances in conformity with the Hazardous Substance laws. 

8.7 Tenant’s Failure to Maintain. If Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the necessity of any repairs or replacements
required to be made under Section 8.2 and Tenant fails to commence diligently to cure the same within twenty (20) days thereafter (except that no notice will be required in case of any emergency repair or replacement
necessary to prevent substantial damage or deterioration), Landlord, at its option and in addition to any other remedies, may proceed to make such repairs or replacements and the expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith plus ten percent
(10%) thereof for Landlord’s supervision, shall be due and payable from Tenant in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof, as Additional Rent; provided, that, Landlord’s making any such repairs or
replacements shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s default in failing to make the same. 
 ARTICLE 9.
INSURANCE 
 9.1 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant, at its own expense, shall provide and
keep in force with companies which are rated A/XV or better by A.M. Best Company and licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: (a) combined single limit commercial general liability insurance insuring against liability for personal injury

aforesaid insurance protection must extend to and include injuries to persons and damage to property arising in connection with such Work, without limitation including liability under any applicable structural work act, and such other insurance as
Landlord shall require; and the policies of or certificates evidencing such insurance must be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of any such Work.

reasonable opportunity to cure its use to prevent such increase; provided, however, if Tenant fails to do so, Tenant shall pay such increased cost to Landlord in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof. Acceptance
of such payment shall not be construed as a consent by Landlord to Tenant’s such use, or limit Landlord’s remedies under this Lease.

employees, officers, directors, partners, members and shareholders of Landlord, Mortgagees of the Property and any other party having an interest therein from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including

fault, willful misconduct, negligence or violation of applicable laws and regulations by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, (d) any construction or other work by Tenant on or about the Premises pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise;

contractors. 
 9.5 Tenant’s Use and Occupancy. Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the Property and use
by all Tenant Parties, and all Tenant’s and said parties’ furnishings, fixtures, equipment, improvements, materials, supplies, inventory, effects and property of every kind, nature and description which, during the continuance of this

9.6.1 Mutual Waiver. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against each other
for loss or damage occurring to the Premises or the Property or any of Landlord’s or Tenant’s Property contained therein regardless of the cause of such loss or damage to the extent that the loss or damage is covered by the injured
party’s insurance or the insurance the injured party is required to carry under this Lease, whichever is greater (without regard to any deductible provision in any policy). This waiver does not apply to claims caused by a party’s willful
misconduct. This waiver also applies to each party’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders, and agents.

this Lease, pursuant to which the insurance company: (a) waives any right of subrogation against Landlord or Tenant as the same may be applicable, or (b) permits Landlord or Tenant, prior to any loss to agree to waive any claim it might
have against the other without invalidating the coverage under the insurance policy. If, at any time, the insurance carrier of either party refuses to write (and no other insurance carrier licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will write)
insurance policies which consent to or permit such release of liability, then such party shall notify the other party and upon the giving of such notice, this Section shall be void and of no effect. 

9.7 Landlord Indemnity. Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and Tenant parties from and against any and
all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature arising from or with respect to: (a) any injury to or death of any
person or damage to or loss of property in, on or about the Premises or Property arising out of or relating to the negligence or willful act or omission of Landlord, or any of its officers, employees, agents or contractors, or (b) any
construction or other work performed by Landlord or any of its agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees at the Property; provided, however, Landlord’s obligations under this Section shall not apply to injury or damage
to the extent caused by the negligence or willful act or omission of Tenant or Tenant Parties. 
 ARTICLE
10. CASUALTY 
 10.1 Damage or Destruction. 

10.1.1 Landlord’s Repair Obligation. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any damage by fire or other
casualty (a “Casualty”) to the Premises or any portion thereof. During the thirty (30)-day period following the occurrence of a Casualty (the “Notice Period”), Landlord will
notify Tenant of Landlord’s estimate of the period of time required to complete the restoration work. In the event that the Premises, or any part thereof, or access thereto, shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other insured Casualty
that the Tenant shall not have reasonably convenient access to the Premises or any portion of the Premises shall thereby be otherwise rendered unfit for use and occupancy by the Tenant for the purposes set forth in
Section 7.1, and if in the judgment of the Landlord the damage or destruction may be repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days with available insurance proceeds, then the Landlord shall so notify the Tenant and
shall repair such damage or destruction as provided in Section 10.4 hereof with reasonable diligence, subject to the limitations, if any, of Laws. If in the judgment of the Landlord the Premises, or means of access thereto,
cannot be repaired within two hundred seventy (270) days after the elapse of the Notice Period with available insurance proceeds, then either party shall have the right to terminate the term of this Lease by giving written notice of such
termination to the other party within the period of thirty (30) to forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of the Casualty. If the reconstruction period estimated by Landlord is more than two hundred seventy (270) days and neither
party terminates this Lease on account thereof, Landlord shall repair such damage or destruction as provided in Section 10.4 hereof with reasonable diligence subject to the limitations of any Laws and, in such case, the
reconstruction period shall be the period so estimated by Landlord. 
 10.1.2 Failure to Complete Repairs; Rights of
Termination. If Landlord is obligated, or elects to repair the damage to the Premises and fails to substantially complete the repairs within the period of time required or permitted by this Section 10.1 (as the same may
be reasonably extended due to any delay caused by Force Majeure) (the “Reconstruction Period”), then the time for completion of repairs shall be extended by the period of such Force Majeure delay. Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by delivery of written notice to Landlord not later than ten (10) days following the end of the Reconstruction Period.

Table of Contents


 10.2 Abatement of Rent. Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent shall not be abated or
suspended if, following any Casualty, Tenant shall continue to have reasonably convenient access to the Premises and the Premises are not rendered unfit for use and occupancy. If Tenant shall not have reasonably convenient access to the Premises or
any portion of the Premises shall be otherwise rendered unfit for use and occupancy by the Tenant for the purposes set forth in Section 7.1 by reason of such Casualty, then Rent shall be equitably suspended or abated
relative to the portion of the Premises that cannot be used by Tenant for any of its business operations, effective as of the date of the Casualty until Landlord has (a) substantially completed the repair of the Premises and the means of access
thereto, and (b) has delivered notice thereof to Tenant. 
 10.3 Events of Termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Article 10, if, prior to or during the Term the Building shall be so damaged by Casualty that, in Landlord’s reasonable estimate, the cost to repair the damage will be more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the replacement value of
the Building immediately prior to the occurrence of the Casualty (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged or rendered untenantable), then, in any of such events, Landlord, may give to Tenant, within ninety (90) days after such
Casualty, a thirty (30) days’ notice of the termination of this Lease and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease and the term shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty (30) days with the same effect as if such date
were the Expiration Date. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross rentable area of the Premises shall be wholly or substantially damaged or destroyed by Casualty at any time during the last six (6) months of the Term, either
Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivery of written notice of such termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage. 

10.4 Scope of Landlord’s Repairs. In the event Landlord elects or shall be obligated to repair or restore any damage or
destruction to the Premises pursuant to this Article 10, Landlord shall not be obligated to restore or replace Tenant’s Property or Tenant’s Alterations or reconstruct Tenant’s initial tenant installations except the building
standard improvements constructed by Landlord. No damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by the Landlord to Tenant, or any other person, by reason of inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any damage or destruction, or
any repair thereof, as is referred to in this Article 10. 
 ARTICLE 11. CONDEMNATION 

11.1 Entire Condemnation. In the event that the whole of the Premises shall be taken under the power of eminent domain or by any
proceeding for taking for public or quasi-public use (a “Condemnation”), this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall automatically terminate as of the earlier of the date of the vesting of title or the date of
dispossession of Tenant as a result of such taking. 
 11.2 Partial Condemnation. 

11.2.1 Effect of Partial Condemnation. In the event that only a part of the Premises shall be taken by Condemnation and the remaining
Premises are suitable for general office use without material interference with Tenant’s business operations and Tenant shall have reasonable, convenient access to and from the Premises, the Term shall expire as to that portion of the Premises
condemned effective as of the date of the vesting of title in the condemning authority, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the part of the Premises not so taken. In the event of a partial Condemnation of the Premises which
results in a lack of reasonable, convenient access to and from the Premises or which results in insufficient space for Tenant to carry on its business without material interference with its business, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease if Landlord cannot relocate Tenant to comparable space elsewhere in the Building following the effective date of the Condemnation. 

11.2.2 Landlord’s Option to Terminate. In the event that a part of the Property shall be subject to Condemnation (whether or not
the Premises are affected), Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease as of the date of such vesting of title, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within

Table of Contents


 
ninety (90) days following the date on which Landlord shall have received notice of the vesting of title in the condemning authority if in Landlord’s reasonable opinion: (a) a
substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Property (or any portion thereof) shall be necessary or appropriate, or (b) the portion of the Property so condemned has the effect of rendering the remainder of the Property uneconomic to
maintain. 
 11.2.3 Landlord’s Repair Obligations. In the event that this Lease is not terminated in accordance with
Subsection 11.2.2 hereof, Landlord shall, upon receipt of the award in condemnation, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the Building in which the Premises are located so as to constitute the remaining Premises a complete
architectural unit to the extent feasible and permitted by applicable law, but Landlord shall not be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount received by Landlord as damages for the part of the Premises so taken.
“Amount received by Landlord” shall mean that part of the award in condemnation which is free and clear to Landlord of any collection by Mortgagees and after payment of all costs involved in collection, including but not limited to
attorney’s fees. Tenant, at its own cost and expense shall, restore its exterior signs (excluding the signage provided by Landlord under Section 7.7 above), trade fixtures, equipment, furniture, furnishings and other
installations of personalty of Tenant which are not taken to as near its former condition as the circumstances will permit. In the event of a partial taking, all provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. 

11.3 Temporary Taking. If there is a taking of the Premises for temporary use arising out of a temporary emergency or other
temporary situation, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Tenant shall continue to comply with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, except to the extent compliance shall be rendered impossible or impracticable by reason of
the taking, and Tenant shall be entitled to the award for its leasehold interest. 
 11.4 Condemnation Awards. Except as
provided in the preceding Section 11.3, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award in any condemnation proceeding or other proceeding for taking for public or quasi-public use,
including, without limitation, any award made for the value of the leasehold estate created by this Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award that may be made in such
condemnation or other taking, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to same or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or
to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant specifically for its relocation expenses or the taking of Tenant’s Property provided that such award does not diminish or reduce the amount of the award payable to Landlord. 

11.5 Proration. In the event of a partial condemnation or other taking that does not result in a termination of this Lease as to
the entire Premises, then the Annual Base Rent and Tenant’s Share shall be adjusted in proportion to that portion of the Premises taken by such condemnation or other taking. 

ARTICLE 12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 

12.1 Transfers. 

12.1.1 Landlord’s Consent. Subject to operation of Section 12.1.5 and 12.1.6 below, Tenant shall
not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed as further described below: (a) except in connection with a mortgage or collateral assignment to a bona fide third
party lender, assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or its direct interest herein, whether by operation of law or otherwise, (b) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or (c) permit the use of the Premises by any Persons other than
Tenant and its employees, invitees, guests and agents. The foregoing restricted actions are referred to herein collectively as “Transfers” and any Person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes
referred to as a “Transferee”.    As used in this Lease, the term “Person” means an individual, trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association, corporation and any
other entity. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord upon written demand for legal fees and any other reasonable expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed assignment or subletting or other Transfer. 

12.1.2 Certain Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include, and all of the foregoing
provisions shall apply to (a) the dissolution of Tenant, or (b) the sale or other 

  
 26 







Table of Contents


 
transfer of more than an aggregate of 50% of Tenant’s net assets to the extent that, upon the consummation of such transaction, Tenant’s net worth is materially adversely impaired
relative to its net worth immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. 
 12.1.3 Transfer Notice. If Tenant shall
desire to effect any Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent hereunder, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (a “Transfer Notice”) shall include: (a) the proposed effective date (which shall not be less than
thirty (30) nor more than 180 days after Tenant’s notice), (b) the portion of the Premises to be Transferred (herein called the “Subject Space”), (c) the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration
therefor, the name, address and background information concerning the proposed Transferee, and a true and complete copy of all proposed Transfer documentation, and (d) financial statements (balance sheets and income/expense statements for the
current and prior three (3) years) of the proposed Transferee, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, certified by an officer, partner or owner of the Transferee, and any other information to enable Landlord to determine the
financial condition, credit, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall respond
to Tenant’s notice of a proposed Transfer within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s submission to Landlord of completed notice therefor in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.1). Any
Transfer made without complying with this Article shall at Landlord’s option be null, void and of no effect, or shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. 

12.1.4 Approval. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable Law for Landlord to
withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following applies (without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent): (a) the Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which
is not consistent with the quality or nature of the Premises or the Property, or would be a significantly less prestigious occupant of the Premises than Tenant, (b) the Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not
permitted under this Lease, (c) the Subject Space is not regular in shape with appropriate means of ingress and egress suitable for normal renting purposes, would result in more than a reasonable number of occupants, or would require increased
services by Landlord, (d) the Transferee is a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof), (e) the proposed Transferee does not have, in Landlord’s sole good faith determination, satisfactory references or a reasonable financial
condition in relation to the obligations to be assumed in connection with the Transfer, (f) the proposed Transfer involves conversion, merger or consolidation of Tenant into a limited liability company or limited liability partnership which
would have the legal effect of releasing Tenant from any obligations under this Lease, (g) the proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of any applicable Laws or any other lease, Mortgage or agreement to which Landlord is a
party, or would create adverse tax consequences for Landlord, or (h) Tenant has committed and failed to cure a an Event of Default. 

12.1.5 Permitted Assignments. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein, Landlord’s consent to an assignment or
transfer of this Lease (whether directly or indirectly), or a subletting of any portion of the Premises, to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant (a “Control Permitted Assignment”) shall not be
required.    In addition, to the extent otherwise prohibited by this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease, upon prior written notice to Landlord but without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, to a
corporation or other entity which is a successor-in-interest to Tenant, by way of merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, or by the purchase of all or
substantially all of the assets or the ownership interests of Tenant, provided that (i) the net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of the assignee is not less than the greater of the net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP)
of Tenant immediately prior to the effectiveness of such assignment or transfer, and (ii) such assignee shall agree in writing to assume all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease arising after the effective date of the assignment
(a “Corporate Permitted Assignment”). Control Permitted Assignments and Corporate Permitted Assignments are hereinafter referred to as “Permitted Assignments.” For any Transfer that is effected as a Permitted
Assignment without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a Transfer Notice substantiating the basis for such Permitted Assignment. Tenant shall pay all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with any such Permitted
Assignments, including attorney’s fees.

 12.1.6 Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
term “Transfer” shall exclude (and no consent of Landlord shall be required for) any change in control of Tenant resulting from Tenant obtaining financing from investors which invest in private companies or undergoing a public
offering which results in a change in control of Tenant (including venture capital and/or private equity funding and/or funding from corporate partners), lenders, or other debt, equity, or other financing providers; provided that (i) in no
event shall such financing result in a change in use of the Premises as permitted in this Lease, and (ii) Tenant shall pay all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with its review of such transactions and change in control,
including attorney’s fees. 
 12.2 Landlord’s Options; Recapture. Excluding Permitted Assignments pursuant to
Section 12.1.5 above, those Transfers expressly permitted above, and any sublease for a duration of less than substantially all of the remaining Term of the Lease or for less than substantially all of the Premises, Landlord
shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Transfer Notice accompanied by the other information described in Section 12.1, to:
(a) permit or disapprove the Transfer in accordance with the requirements above; or (b) recapture the Subject Space, and in the case of a Transfer affecting less than all of the Premises, amend this Lease to terminate the same with respect
to the Subject Space (the “Recaptured Portion”). If Landlord approves of the proposed Transfer as set forth above, Tenant may enter into the proposed Transfer with such proposed Transferee subject to the following conditions:
(i) the Transfer shall be on the same terms set forth in the Transfer Notice, and (ii) no Transfer shall be valid and no Transferee shall take possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of the assignment, sublease or other
instrument effecting the Transfer (in the form approved by Landlord) has been delivered to Landlord pursuant to which the Transferee shall expressly assume all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. 

If Tenant has requested to Transfer the entirety of the Premises and Landlord’s notice provides for the recapture of the entire Premises,
then this Lease shall be deemed terminated effective as of the date stated in Tenant’s notice as the effective date of Tenant’s proposed Transfer and, upon the request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the
same. If, however, Tenant has requested to Transfer only a portion of the Premises and Landlord’s notice shall provide for the recapture of only the Recaptured Portion, then (A) this Lease shall be deemed amended so as to terminate this
Lease as to the Recaptured Portion effective as of the date stated in Tenant’s notice as the effective date of Tenant’s proposed Transfer, (B) notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, the Rent herein (and Tenant’s
parking allocation) shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant following the recapture in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises prior to the recapture, (C) this
Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and (D) upon request of either party the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. Tenant shall surrender and vacate the entire Premises or the Recaptured
Portion, as applicable, when required hereunder in accordance with Section 8.6 and any failure to do so shall be subject to Section 2.2, provided, that, in the case of Landlord’s
recapture of a Recaptured Portion, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment and performance of the alterations necessary to segregate the Recaptured Portion from the balance of the Premises in compliance with applicable building codes, including
construction of a demising wall and adequate separation of building HVAC and utility systems from the remaining Tenant space in accordance with applicable Laws. 

12.3 Terms of Consent. If Landlord consents to a Transfer: (a) the terms and conditions of this Lease, including
Tenant’s primary liability for the Subject Space, shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (b) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (c) no Transferee
shall succeed to any rights provided in this Lease or any amendment hereto to terminate this Lease (in whole or in part), to extend the Term of this Lease, to expand the Premises, or to lease other space, any such rights being deemed personal to the
initial Tenant, (d) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (e) Tenant shall furnish a complete
statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer (or the person serving in the most comparable role), setting forth in detail the computation of any “Transfer Profit” (as
defined below) that Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant and any Transferee


  
 28 







Table of Contents


 
relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Profit respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days
after demand pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than two percent (2%) Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs of such audit. Any sublease hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall
be terminated during the term of any sublease, Landlord shall have the right to: (i) deem such sublease as merged and canceled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) deem such termination as an assignment of such
sublease to Landlord and not as a merger, and require that such subtenant attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such sublease. If an Event of Default occurs under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as
Tenant’s agent and attorney-in fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease). 
 12.4 No Release. Unless expressly stated to the contrary therein, Landlord’s consent to
a Transfer shall not release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and this Lease and all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as the obligations of a principal (and not as the
obligations of a guarantor or surety). No acceptance of Rent by Landlord from or recognition in any way of the occupancy of the Premises by a Transferee shall be deemed a consent to such Transfer, or a release of Tenant from direct and primary
liability for the further performance of Tenant’s covenants hereunder. The consent by Landlord to a particular Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from the requirement of obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further Transfer. Each violation
of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions of this Lease, whether by act or omission, by any of Tenant’s permitted Transferees, shall constitute a violation thereof by Tenant. In the event of default by any Transferee of Tenant or
any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, to the extent Tenant has not been released therefrom, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or
successor. 
 12.5 Additional Conditions. Tenant shall not offer to make, or enter into negotiations with respect to any
Transfer to: (a) any tenant of the Building (or any affiliate of such tenant) that is a tenant in the Building unless there is no competing space then available for leases therein; (b) any bona fide prospective tenant to whom Landlord has
submitted a leasing proposal or with whom Landlord is then negotiating with respect to other space in the Building; or (c) any party which would be of such type, character, or condition as to be inappropriate as a tenant for the Building. Upon
delivery of written notice by Landlord to Tenant that Tenant is engaging in any such prohibited activity, Tenant shall cease such prohibited actions. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to disapprove any proposed Transfer to any of the
foregoing entities. Landlord shall not be deemed to unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease if such Transfer, in Landlord’s reasonable determination, is at a full-service rate which is less than Landlord’s
current rate in the Building for new tenants, and would compete with similar space either being offered by Landlord in the Building. 
 12.6
Transfer Profit. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto, which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, one half (1/2) of any Transfer Profit collected by Tenant from
such Transfer. “Transfer Profit” shall mean for a lease assignment, all consideration paid or payable therefor. “Transfer Profit” shall mean, for a sublease, all rent, additional rent or other consideration paid by
such Transferee in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a monthly basis during the Term, and on a per rentable square foot basis, if less than all of the Premises is transferred). Transfer Profit shall also include any bonus
amount paid by Transferee to Tenant, and any payment in excess of the fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or in excess of Tenant’s depreciated tax basis for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment or furniture
transferred by Tenant to Transferee. In determining Transfer Profit, Tenant shall be permitted to deduct any “free rent”, tenant improvement costs, and reasonable legal and brokerage costs actually paid by Tenant to third parties
unaffiliated with Tenant in connection with the particular Transfer, which costs shall have been documented to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction (which costs shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Transfer). Tenant
shall pay such portion of the Transfer Profit to Landlord on a monthly basis within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, without affecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall send each such payment with a
detailed statement. Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenant’s books and records to verify the accuracy of Tenant’s statement.

 ARTICLE 13. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 

13.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default (each an
“Event of Default”) hereunder: 
 13.1.1 Nonpayment of Annual Base Rent or Additional Rent. Tenant shall fail to pay
any installment of Annual Base Rent or the Additional Rent payable under Article 5 hereof, upon the date when said payment is due; provided, however, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with written notice of such failure and permit
Tenant a five (5)-day period to cure such failure. 
 13.1.2 Other Lease Payments. Except
with respect to those payments identified in Section 13.1 above, Tenant shall fail to pay any other amount, deposit, reimbursement or sum, due and payable hereunder within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s
delivery of its invoice therefor. 
 13.1.3 Certain Obligations. Tenant shall fail to perform, observe or comply with any of the
covenants, agreements or obligations contained in Section 4.6 (“Security Deposit”), Section 7.5 (“No Liens”), Section 9.2
(“Delivery of Policies”), Article 12 (“Assignment and Subletting”) or Article 14 (“Subordination, Attornment; and Rights of Mortgage Holders”) of this Lease within the time periods set
forth therein. 
 13.1.4 Other Obligations. Tenant shall fail to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation under this Lease other
than those matters specified in Section 13.1.1 and 13.1.2, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant of such failure; provided, however, that if the
nature of Tenant’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences performance within such thirty (30)-day
period and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the same to completion within ninety (90) days following the date of Landlord’s written notice with respect to such failure. 

13.1.5 Assignment; Receivership; Attachment. Tenant shall make any arrangement or general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or a
receiver, trustee or liquidator shall be appointed for Tenant or for any substantial part of its assets, or properties, or Tenant’s interest in this Lease; or there shall be an attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of substantially
all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. 
 13.1.6 Bankruptcy. The admission
by Tenant or Tenant’s guarantor (if any) in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due; Tenant or Tenant’s guarantor (if any) shall file a petition in bankruptcy seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation; the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against Tenant or Tenant’s guarantor (if any) seeking any involuntary reorganization, or
arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation by any of Tenant’s creditors or such guarantor’s creditors, and such petition shall not have been
vacated within thirty (30) days; or Tenant shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent under any present or future statute, law, regulation, under state or federal law, and such judgment or decree is not vacated or set aside within thirty
(30) days. 
 13.2 Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in
addition to any and all other rights or remedies available to Landlord in law or equity: 
 13.2.1 Notice to Quit. Landlord shall
have the right to deliver written notice to Tenant to quit possession and occupancy of the Premises and to declare the Lease terminated. Upon Landlord’s termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and peaceably surrender the Premises, and all
portions thereof, to Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to receive all rental and other income of and from the same. 
 13.2.2
Right of Re-Entry. Landlord shall have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof by summary
proceeding, eviction, ejectment or 

  
 30 







Table of Contents


 
otherwise and may dispossess all other persons and property from the Premises. Tenant’s property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the
account of Tenant. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Subsection 13.2.2 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of
such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Tenant thereby waives all statutory rights, including without limitation the right to a notice to quit, notice before exercise of
any prejudgment remedy, and any rights of redemption, all to the extent such rights may be lawfully waived. 
 13.2.3 Recovery of Rent
and Damages. Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant all loss of Rent and other payments that Landlord may incur by reason of termination of the Lease, including, without limitation: (a) all Rent and other sums due and payable
by Tenant as of the date of termination; (b) all Rent that would otherwise be payable for the remainder of the Term in accordance with the terms of this Lease; (c) the costs of collecting amounts due from Tenant under the Lease and the
costs of recovering possession of the Premises (including attorney’s fees and litigation costs); and (d) all Landlord’s other direct damages and reasonable expenditures arising from the termination of the Lease. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for all such items, and the same shall be due and payable immediately from time to time upon notice from Landlord that an expense has been incurred, without regard to whether the expense was incurred before or after the termination. 

13.2.4 Acceleration of Future Rentals. Following termination of this Lease, Landlord, at its election, may demand to be indemnified for
its loss of Rent (with respect to the period following such termination) by a lump sum payment representing the then present value of the amount of Rent that would have been paid in accordance with this Lease for the remainder of the Term
minus the then present value of the aggregate fair market rent and additional charges payable for the Premises for the remainder of the Term (if less than the Rent payable hereunder) estimated as of the date of termination, and taking into
account Landlord’s reasonable projections of vacancy and time required to re-lease the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, such amount
as final damages for Tenant’s default with respect to the Rents payable for the remainder of the Term as described above. In the computation of present value, the Federal Reserve discount rate (or equivalent) shall be employed. 

13.2.5 Rents Due After Re-Entry by Landlord. If Landlord
re-enters or otherwise takes possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease (but terminating only Tenant’s right of possession in the Premises), then the Lease and Tenant’s liabilities and
obligations thereunder shall survive such action. In the event of any such termination of Tenant’s right of possession, whether or not the Premises, or any portion thereof, shall have been relet, Tenant shall pay the Landlord a sum equal to the
Rent and any other charges required to be paid by Tenant up to the time of such termination of such right of possession and thereafter Tenant, until the end of the Term, shall be liable to Landlord for and shall pay to Landlord: (a) the
equivalent of the amount of the Rent payable under this Lease, less (b) the net proceeds of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions hereof after deducting all of Landlord’s Reletting Expenses. Tenant shall pay such amounts
in accordance with the terms of this Subsection 13.2.5 as set forth in a written statement thereof from Landlord to Tenant (the “Deficiency”) to Landlord in monthly installments on the days on which the Annual Base Rent is
payable under this Lease, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly installment of the Deficiency as the same shall arise. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord upon demand the costs incurred by Landlord in curing Tenant’s
defaults existing at or prior to the date of such termination, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises and the Reletting Expenses. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums that become due under the terms of this
Section from time to time, and all reasonable costs and expenses of Landlord, including attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such suits shall be payable by Tenant on demand. 

13.2.6 Certain Terms Defined. For purposes of this Subsection 13.2.6, “Reletting Alterations” shall mean all
repairs, changes, improvements, alterations or additions made by Landlord in or to the Premises to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord to prepare the Premises for the re-leasing following an
Event of Default; and “Reletting Expenses” shall mean the reasonable expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with any re-leasing of the Premises following an Event of Default,
including, without limitation, marketing expenses, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, the costs of Reletting Alterations, tenant allowances and other economic concessions provided to the new tenant.

 13.3 Landlord’s Right to Cure Defaults. If an Event of Default occurs or
Landlord reasonably determines that an emergency exists following Tenant’s failure to perform or comply with any of its obligations under this Lease, the Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such
default, may remedy such default for the account and at the reasonable expense of the Tenant. If the Landlord makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations for the payment of money in connection therewith, including but not limited to reasonable
attorney’s fees in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, such sums paid or obligation incurred and costs, shall be paid upon demand to the Landlord by the Tenant as Additional Rent pursuant to
Section 4.4 hereof and if not so paid with interest from its due date until paid at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum legal rate that Landlord may charge Tenant. 

13.4 Disposition of Tenant’s Property. In addition to Landlord’s rights under Section 8.4
hereof, Landlord shall have the right to handle, remove, discard or store in a commercial warehouse or otherwise, at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, any of Tenant’s Property that is not removed by Tenant at the end of the Term. Landlord
shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges for such property so long as the same shall be in
Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. 
 13.5 Reletting; Mitigation of Damages. In connection with any
reletting of the Premises following an Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to grant such rental and economic concessions and other incentives as may be customary for similar space in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Landlord shall not be
required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or observe any instruction given by Tenant about such reletting or do any act or exercise any care or diligence with respect to such reletting; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this
Lease to the contrary, in connection with any reletting or Landlord’s exercise of any other rights or remedies permitted hereunder, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages. 

13.6 No Accord and Satisfaction. Landlord may collect and receive any rent due from Tenant, and the payment thereof shall not
constitute a waiver of or affect any notice or demand given, suit instituted or judgment obtained by Landlord, or be held to waive, affect, change, modify or alter the rights or remedies that Landlord has against Tenant in equity, at law, or by
virtue of this Lease. No receipt or acceptance by Landlord from Tenant of less than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment on account for any due and unpaid stipulated rent; no endorsement or statement
on any check or any letter or other writing accompanying any check or payment of rent to Landlord shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept and negotiate such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s rights to
(a) recover the remaining balance of such unpaid rent, or (b) pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. 
 13.7
Tenant’s Bankruptcy. 
 13.7.1 Insolvency. If at any time and for so long as Tenant shall be subjected to the
provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other law of the United States or any state thereof for the protection of debtors as in effect at such time (each a “Bankruptcy Law”), Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession, and any trustee or received of Tenant’s assets (each a “Tenant’s Representative”) shall have no greater right to assume or
assign this Lease or any interest in this Lease, or to sublease any of the Premises than accorded to Tenant in Article 12, except to the extent Landlord shall be required to permit such assumption, assignment or sublease by the provisions of
such Bankruptcy Law. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, any right of any Tenant’s Representative to assume or assign this Lease or to sublease any of the Premises shall be subject to the conditions that: 

(a) Such Bankruptcy Law shall provide to Tenant’s Representative a right of assumption of this Lease which Tenant’s
Representative shall have timely exercised and Tenant’s Representative shall have fully cured any default of Tenant under this Lease; 

(b) Tenant’s Representative or the proposed assignee, as the case shall be, shall have deposited with Landlord as security
for the timely payment of rent an amount equal to the larger of: (a) three (3) months’ Rent and other monetary charges accruing under this Lease; and (b) any sum

specified in Section 4.6; and shall have provided Landlord with adequate other assurances of the future performance of the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease.
Without limitation, such assurances shall include, at least, in the case of assumption of the Lease, demonstration to the satisfaction of the Landlord that Tenant’s Representative has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets
after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that Tenant’s Representative will have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and, in the case of assignment,
submission of current financial statements of the proposed assignee, audited by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord and showing a net worth, liquid assets and working capital in amounts determined by Landlord
to be sufficient to assure the future performance by such assignee of all of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; 

(c) The assumption or any contemplated assignment of this Lease or subleasing of any part of the Premises, as shall be the
case, will not breach any provisions in any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound; 

(d) Landlord shall have, or would have had absent the Bankruptcy Law, no right under Article 12 to refuse consent to the
proposed assignment or sublease by reason of the identity or nature of the proposed assignee or sublessee or the proposed use of the Premises concerned. 

13.7.2 No Limitation on Claim. Nothing herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain in proceeding for
bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement or reorganization by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages
are to be proved, whether or not the amount is greater, equal to or less than the amount of the loss or damage that Landlord has suffered. 

13.8 Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to Article 5 of this Lease (with respect to the issues expressly
stated therein) shall be submitted to and determined in binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be conducted before and by a single arbitrator selected by the parties
who shall have a minimum of ten (10) years of experience in commercial real estate disputes and who shall not be affiliated with either Landlord or Tenant. If the parties have not selected an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of written
demand for arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to the then current rules of that Association on application by either party. The arbitrator shall have authority to fashion such just,
equitable and legal relief as such arbitrator, in such arbitrator’s sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, the arbitrator shall not be authorized to award consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages. The
parties agree that the arbitration hearing shall be held within thirty (30) business days following notification to the parties of the appointment of such arbitrator, and that the arbitration proceedings shall be concluded within thirty
(30) business days following the first scheduled arbitration hearing. At the arbitration hearing each party shall present its position (including the right to present witness testimony) and rebuttal within the time period established by the
arbitrator (which shall be the same for both parties). Each party shall bear all its own expenses of arbitration and shall bear equally the costs and expenses of the arbitrator. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the City of Boston,
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on the parties. Landlord and Tenant further agree that they will faithfully observe this Lease and rules, and that they will abide by and perform any award
rendered by the arbitrator and that a judgment of the court having jurisdiction may be entered upon the award. The duty to arbitrate shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Lease. 

13.9 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, BROUGHT BY EITHER AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT,
OR TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR ANY SUMMARY PROCESS, EVICTION OR OTHER STATUTORY REMEDY WITH RESPECT THERETO. EACH PARTY HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY, AND HAS RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF, LEGAL COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THIS WAIVER.

 ARTICLE 14. SUBORDINATION; ATTORNMENT; AND RIGHTS OF MORTGAGE
HOLDERS 
 14.1 Subordination; Attornment. 

14.1.1 Subordination. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is now, or may be in the future, a tenant under a lease of the Land and/or
entire Property of which the Premises forms a part. This Lease is and shall be, at Landlord’s option, subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases (each, a “Superior Lease”) and to all mortgages, deeds of trust or
liens resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing which now or hereafter affects such leases or the real property of which the Premises forms a part and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
thereof (each, a “Mortgage”). The holder of a Mortgage is sometimes referred to herein as a “Mortgagee”. This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary. In
confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute promptly any certificate that Landlord may reasonably request. 
 14.1.2
Attornment. In the event that any Superior Lease is terminated, or any Mortgage is foreclosed or title transferred as a result of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure,
this Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by Tenant unless Tenant is specifically named in any termination or foreclosure judgment or final order, and Tenant shall attorn to any such successor lessor and recognize such lessor as Landlord under
this Lease. In the event of a sale or assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Property of which the Premises forms a part, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease. In the event that any
Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord, whether by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or otherwise, at the election of such Mortgagee, Tenant shall attorn to any such successor landlord and
recognize such landlord as Landlord under this Lease and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. In the event that any Superior Lease is terminated or any
Mortgage is foreclosed or the Property is transferred by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, Tenant agrees, at Landlord’s, master landlord’s, trustee’s or
Mortgagee’s option, to enter into a new lease covering the Premises for the remaining Term and otherwise on the same terms, conditions and rentals as herein contained. 

14.1.3 Rights of Mortgagees. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if any Mortgagee elects to have this
Lease made superior to its Mortgage, then, upon Tenant being notified to that effect by such Mortgagee, this Lease shall be deemed prior to the lien of said Mortgage, whether this Lease is executed prior to or subsequent to the date of said
Mortgage. With respect to any future Mortgages resulting from any other method of financing or refinancing or any future ground or underlying leases hereafter affecting the Lease or the Property of which the Premises forms a part, Tenant’s
agreements in Section 14.1.1 are subject to Tenant’s receipt from the future Mortgagee (or other superior interest holder) a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement (“SNDA”) on Mortgagee’s then standard form; which shall include Mortgagee’s agreement that following its acquisition of title to the Property (whether by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) it will recognize this Lease and agree that Tenant will be permitted to remain in undisturbed possession, use and occupancy of the Premises (as long as Tenant is not
in default under the terms and conditions of this Lease after written notice by Landlord and the expiration of any applicable grace and cure periods). 

14.1.4 SNDA from Current Mortgagee. Upon Tenant’s written request following the full execution of this Lease, and at Tenant’s
expense, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to obtain from the holder of any Mortgage, an SNDA, which shall be on such Mortgagee’s standard form. In the interest of clarity, the Lease shall not be contingent upon Landlord obtaining an SNDA.

 14.2 Limitation of Mortgagees’ Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, no holder
of any such Mortgage shall be obligated to perform or liable in damages for failure to perform any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease unless and until such holder shall foreclose such mortgage or otherwise acquire title to the Property,
and then shall only be liable for Landlord’s obligations arising or accruing after such foreclosure or acquisition of title. No such holder shall ever be obligated to perform or be liable in damages for any of Landlord’s obligations
arising or accruing before such foreclosure or acquisition of title. Such holder’s obligations and liabilities shall in any event be subject to, and holder shall

have the benefit of, Section 16.16 hereof. Tenant shall never pay the Annual Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge more than ten (10) days prior to the due
date thereof, and any payments made by Tenant in violation of this provision shall be a nullity as to such holder, and Tenant shall remain liable to such holder therefor. Tenant agrees on request of Landlord to execute and deliver from time to time
any agreement which may be necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 14.2. 
 14.3 Estoppel
Certificates. Tenant shall at any time, and from time to time, upon not less than five (5) business days prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, to any prospective purchaser, or Mortgagee, a
written certificate of Tenant in form satisfactory to Landlord: (a) ratifying this Lease; (b) expressing the Commencement Date and Expiration Date hereof; and (c) certifying (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not
been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended (except by such writings as shall be stated); (ii) that all conditions under this Lease to be performed by each party have been satisfied; (iii) that there are no defenses or offsets against the
enforcement of this Lease by Tenant or Landlord as the case may be, or stating those claimed by such party; (iv) the amount of advance rental, if any, (or none if such is the case) paid by Tenant; (v) the date to which rental has been
paid; and (vi) the amount of security deposited with Landlord. It is intended that any such certificate of Tenant delivered pursuant to this Section 14.3 may be relied upon by Landlord and any prospective purchaser or
the Mortgagee of any part of the Property. 
 14.4 Quiet Enjoyment. Upon Tenant paying the Annual Base Rent and Additional
Rent and performing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant may peacefully and quietly enjoy the Premises during the Term as against all persons or entities lawfully claiming by or through Landlord; subject, however, to the
provisions of this Lease and to the rights of Landlord’s Mortgagee. 
 14.5 Mortgagee Approval. Landlord and Tenant
hereby agree that this Lease is subject to the review and approval of Landlord’s Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of the mortgage loan documents executed by Landlord in connection with its financing of the Property. Landlord shall submit
this Lease to its Mortgagee promptly upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, and Landlord shall promptly advise Tenant of its Mortgagee’s decision.

business associations (or any combination of two or more thereof) shall sign this Lease as Tenant, the liability of each such individual, corporation, partnership or other business association to pay Rent and perform all other obligations hereunder
shall be deemed to be joint and several. All agreements, covenants and indemnifications contained herein or made in writing pursuant to the terms of this Lease by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed material and shall survive expiration or sooner

condition.

Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of Tenant’s balance sheets, at the close of the most recently ended fiscal year, and Tenant’s statements of income and retained earnings for such year, prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and audited by Tenant’s independent certified public accountants (if audited financial statements for such fiscal year are available at such time). If audited financial statements for the most recently ended
fiscal year are not available at the time of such request by Landlord, Tenant shall provide the most recent unaudited financial statements as are then available certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer or chief accounting officer (or the
person filling the most comparable role) to be true and correct and free from material mis-statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may not request such financial statements except in connection with

Tenant shall pay Landlord’s invoice for any such amounts within ten (10) days following Landlord’s delivery of its invoice therefor. Any provision of this Lease which requires the Tenant to obtain Landlord’s consent to any
proposed action by Tenant shall not be the basis for an award of damages or give rise to a right of setoff on Tenant’s behalf, but may be the basis for a declaratory judgment or injunction with respect to the matter in question. 

16.16 Landlord’s Liability. Tenant shall look only to Landlord’s estate in the Property (or the proceeds thereof) for
the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies with respect to any liability, default or obligation of Landlord under this Lease or otherwise regarding Tenant’s leasing, use and occupancy of the Premises pursuant hereto, including without
limitation for the collection of any monetary obligation, judgment or other judicial process requiring the payment of money by Landlord. Neither Landlord nor any of its members, stockholders, officers, directors, partners, trustees, beneficiaries or
employees shall be personally liable

hereunder, nor shall any of its or their property, other than the Property, be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s said remedies.

obligations occurring while such party owns the Property.

different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Lease by telecopy or electronic PDF
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Lease. This Lease shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each party hereto. 

16.20 No Recording. Tenant shall not register or record this Lease or any memorandum or summary hereof without Landlord’s
prior written consent, and in such case, Tenant shall be obligated to pay all charges and taxes incident to such registration or recording. 

16.21 Confidentiality. Tenant agrees: (a) to treat the terms of the Lease, and the terms of any existing and future
amendments and modifications to the Lease (the “Confidential Information”) as confidential during the term of this Lease and for the three (3) year period following the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease (the
“Non-Disclosure Period”), (b) not to disclose, directly or indirectly, to any third party nor permit any third party (except Tenant’s professional advisors if such persons agree in
writing to treat such information as confidential consistent with this Section) to have access to any or all of such Confidential Information during the Non-Disclosure Period, including, without limitation,

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE, dated as of November 14, 2017 (this “Amendment”), between THE REALTY ASSOCIATES FUND X, L.P., a

Framingham, Massachusetts (the “Building”). 
 RECITALS: 

A.     Landlord’s predecessor in interest, 111 MPA, and Tenant entered into that certain Agreement dated as of
December 29, 2014 (the “Original Lease”) for approximately 3,317 rentable square feet on the third floor of the Building (the “Premises”). 

B.    Landlord has succeeded to all of the right, title and interest of 111 MPA in and to the Property and the Lease.
Tenant and Landlord now wish to further extend the Term of the Lease, which is now scheduled to expire on April 15, 2018. 

C.    All terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Amendment shall have the same meaning as in the Lease, and,
shall govern should a conflict exist with previous terms and conditions. 
 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: 
 1.     Capitalized Terms. Each
capitalized term appearing but not defined herein shall have the meaning, if any, ascribed to such term in the Lease. 
 2.
    Recitals; Term. The recitals above set forth are true and complete and are incorporated herein by reference. The Term of the Lease is currently scheduled to expire on April 15, 2018. The Term of the Lease is
hereby extended to expire at 11:59 PM, Boston time, on January 15, 2019 (the “Extension Term”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Lease, Tenant shall have no right or
option to extend or renew the Term beyond January 15, 2019. 
 3.     Basic Rent; Additional Rent; Letter of
Credit. (a) With respect to the period ending on April 15, 2018, Tenant shall continue to pay Annual Base Rent and all Additional Rent (including without limitation the Estimated Cost of Electricity Service) as is currently provided in

Increases) as currently provided in the Lease. Nothing herein shall affect or diminish Tenant’s obligations or liability with respect to payments or other obligations due or coming due with
respect to the period prior to April 15, 2018. 
 (b) On or before March 1, 2018, Tenant shall provide to Landlord an amendment to
the existing Letter of Credit, which shall extend the expiry date of the Letter of Credit to a date no sooner than February 15, 2019, all in form and substance acceptable to Landlord. 

4.    Condition. Tenant is leasing the Premises for the Extension Term in their existing condition “As
Is,” “Where Is” with all faults and without representation, warranty or guaranty of any kind by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant represents that it occupies the Premises and is familiar with its condition, as well as that of the common
areas of the Building, and that the same are satisfactory for the Tenant’s intended continued use. Landlord will not be required to make any alteration or improvement to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s continued occupancy. 

5.     Notices. For purposes of Section 15.1 of the Lease, Landlord’s address is hereby changed to: c/o
TA Associates Realty, 28 State Street, Boston, MA 02109, Attention: Framingham Asset Manager. Copies of any notices given to Landlord under the Lease shall simultaneously be given to Langer & McLaughlin, LLP, 535 Boylston Street, Boston MA
02116, Attn: TA Leasing. 
 6.    Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each hereby represents and warrants that it has
not dealt with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the procurement of this Amendment other than Transwestern RBJ and CBRE New England, whose commissions, if any, shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to separate agreement. Each party
covenants and agrees to pay, hold harmless and indemnify the other from and against any and all cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or liability for any compensation, commission or charges to any broker or agent (other than the
foregoing named broker) resulting from the falsity of such representation and warranty. 
 7.    Utility
Information. If electricity or other services to the Premises are separately metered, and Tenant pays directly to the providing utility company(ies), Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to provide Landlord with copies of bills from
electricity, natural gas or similar energy providers (collectively, “Energy Providers”) that Tenant receives from Energy Providers relating to Tenant’s energy use at the Premises (“Energy Bills”) within ten (10) days
after Landlord’s written request. In addition, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to obtain copies of the Energy Bills directly from the Energy Provider(s), and Tenant hereby authorizes each Energy Provider to provide Energy Bills and related
usage information directly to Landlord without Tenant’s consent. From time to time within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement provided by Landlord authorizing the Energy
Provider(s) to provide to Landlord Energy Bills and other information relating to Tenant’s energy usage at the Premises. Landlord acknowledges that the information provided by the Energy Providers shall be used by Landlord in connection with
Landlord’s on-going energy and environmental conservation initiatives.

 8.    Successors. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their perspective successors and assigns, subject to the provisions of the Lease regarding assignment or other transfers to Tenant’s rights under the Lease. 

9.    Authority. Tenant represents and warrants that each person executing this Amendment on behalf of Tenant has
the authority to do so and that such execution has fully obligated and bound Tenant to all terms and provisions of this Amendment. 

10.    No Further Amendment; No Presumption. It is understood and agreed that all other conditions and terms
contained in the Lease not herein specifically amended shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, and the Lease, as modified by this Amendment, is hereby ratified and confirmed. Landlord and Tenant agree and acknowledge that this
Amendment has been freely negotiated by both parties and that, in any controversy, dispute or contest over the meaning, interpretation, validity or enforceability of this Amendment or any of its terms or conditions, there shall be no inference,
presumption or conclusion drawn whatsoever against either party by virtue of that party having drafted this Amendment or any portion hereof. 

11.    Representations. As a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Amendment, Tenant represents and
certifies to Landlord that as of the date hereof: (i) the Lease, as modified hereby, contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto relating to the Premises and that there are no other agreements between the parties relating to the
Premises, the Lease or the Building which are not contained or referred to herein or in the Lease, (ii) Landlord is not in default in any respect in any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease; (iii) Tenant has no existing
setoffs, counterclaims or defenses against Landlord under the Lease; (iv) Tenant has not assigned or pledged its leasehold interest under the Lease, or sublet or licensed or granted any other occupancy rights with respect to any or all of the
Premises; (v) no consent or approval of any third party or parties is required in order for Tenant to enter into and be bound by this Amendment; and (vi) Tenant is not, and the performance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder shall not
render Tenant, insolvent within the meaning of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Internal Revenue Code or any other applicable law, code or regulation. 

12.    Governing Law. The Lease, this Amendment and the rights and obligations of both parties thereunder and
hereunder shall be governed by the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
 13.    Counterparts. This
Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties
acknowledge and agree that this Amendment may be executed via facsimile or .pdf format (including computer-scanned or other electronic reproduction of the actual signatures) and that delivery of a facsimile or other signature by electronic or
physical means shall be effective to the same extent as delivery of an original signature. Notwithstanding the foregoing, originally signed documents shall be provided upon either party’s request.
