WHEREAS, by Lease dated of even date herewith (the “145 Broadway Lease”) by and between Tenant and The Trustees of Eleven Cambridge Center Trust (the “145 Landlord”), an affiliate of Landlord, the 145 Landlord leased to Tenant certain premises (the “145 Broadway Premises”) in the building known as 11 Kendall Center and numbered 145 Broadway, Cambridge, Massachusetts (the “145 Broadway Building”), which 145 Broadway Premises are described with more particularity in the 145 Broadway Lease.


WHEREAS, in connection with the 145 Broadway Lease and the lease transaction contemplated therewith (the “145 Lease Transaction”), Landlord and Tenant are entering into this Amendment respecting the Premises as an integral part of the 145 Lease Transaction.


WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease in order to, inter alia, modify the expiration of the Lease Term and to modify the Extension Options (as such terms are defined in the Lease).


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration in hand this date paid by each of the parties to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, and in further consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to and with each other as follows:


		
	1.
	Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth for them in the Lease.




		
	2.
	Expiration of Lease Term.  The definition of the Lease Term (sometimes called the “Original Lease Term”) as set forth in Section 1.2 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:




The period commencing on June 1, 2009 and ending on the later to occur (the “Stub Expiration Date”) of (A) December 31, 2019 and (B) the earlier of:


		
	(i)
	the date that is two (2) years following the termination of the 145 Broadway Lease prior to the Commencement Date of the 145 Broadway Lease (as such term is defined in the 145 Broadway Lease) (such two-year period hereinafter referred to as a “145 Termination Extension Period”); and




		
	(ii)
	the Commencement Date of the 145 Broadway Lease,




unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Stub Expiration Date of the Lease be later than December 31, 2022 unless (x) a 145 Termination Extension Period is in effect, or (y) the parties otherwise agree in writing.  


In addition, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Lease (as such provision is modified in this Amendment).  


Reference in the Lease to “expiration of the Lease Term” or words of similar import shall mean the period ending on the Stub Expiration Date, unless the Lease Term is sooner terminated or extended as hereinafter provided.


		
	3.
	Annual Fixed Rent for Modified Lease Term.  Exhibit K to the Lease (“Schedule of Premises Components, Rent Commencement Dates and Rent Schedule”) is hereby amended by deleting each of the three (3) occurrences of the date “December 31, 2019” from the column entitled “Base Rental Rate”, and inserting in place thereof “Stub Expiration Date”.  




Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the 145 Broadway Lease is terminated as a result of a default thereunder by Tenant, then the Annual Fixed Rent for the period, if any, between January 1, 2020 and the Stub Expiration Date shall be $63.50 per rentable square foot per annum beginning on January 1, 2020, and increasing $1.00 per rentable square foot per annum on each January 1 thereafter, as applicable.

	ii.
	for Tenant’s second option to extend the Lease Term, if applicable, not earlier than April 1, 2023 nor later than July 1, 2023.  




		
	(D)

Upon the removal of such items, Tenant shall restore and repair the applicable portions of the Premises in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease (including, without limitation, Section 9.5(b) thereof).  




		
	6.
	Parking.  Effective as of the Commencement Date of the 145 Broadway Lease, Section 10.1 of the Lease shall be amended by adding the following language to the end of the existing grammatical paragraph:

	7.
	Brokerage.  Landlord and Tenant each hereby represents to the other party that it had no dealings with any real estate broker, finder, or other person with respect to this First Amendment for which a commission is due.

	8.
	Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, including any facsimile of same, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement.
