WITNESSETH


 


WHEREAS,
Landlord and Tenant entered into a certain Lease dated as of June 12, 2004 and amended by letter agreement dated October 21, 2004
(as amended, the “Lease”), for certain space known as Suite 400, consisting of approximately 10,207 square
feet (as more particularly defined in the Lease, the “Existing Premises”) in the Building located at 133 Southcenter
Court, Morrisville, Wake County, North Carolina, as more particularly described in the Lease and


 


WHEREAS,
Landlord and Tenant desire to modify the terms of the Lease to expand the Demised Premises and to amend certain other terms of
the Lease.


 


NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration,
the mutual receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby amend the Lease as follows:


 


1.
Capitalized Terms: All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Lease.


 


2.
Demised Premises: Commencing July l, 2005 (subject to adjustment as set out herein, the “Expansion Space Commencement
Date”), the Demised Premises shall be expanded to include an additional 5,119 square feet, as measured from the centerline
of all demising and exterior walls, (the “Expansion Space”) in the Building, as shown on Exhibit A,
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Expansion Space is made up of 2,999 square feet of office space (the
“Office Space”) and 2,120 square feet of lab space (the “Lab Space”) as shown on Exhibit
A-l, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. As of the Expansion Space Commencement Date, the Demised Premises
leased pursuant to the Lease shall contain a total of Fifteen Thousand Three Hundred Twenty -Six rentable square feet (15,326
r.s.f.).


 


3.
Term: As of the Expansion Space Commencement Date, Section 1.02 of the Lease shall be amended to provide that the term
of Tenant’s leasing of the Demised Premises (as expanded hereby) is extended through and including September 30, 2010.


 


4.
Adjustment of Expansion Space Commencement Date. If Tenant occupies all or any part of the Expansion Space prior to July
1, 2005, then the Expansion Space Commencement Date shall be the date of such early occupancy. If the Phase I Work, as defined
below, has not been substantially completed by July 1, 2005, then this Amendment shall not be void or voidable, but the Expansion
Space Commencement Date shall be extended until the date the Phase I Work is substantially completed; provided however, if Landlord
is delayed in the substantial completion of the Phase I Work by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or invitees (including
but not limited to because of change orders requested by Tenant or delays by Tenant in providing information required to complete
the plans or construction) the Expansion Space Commencement Date will be the date Landlord would have substantially completed
the Phase I Work but for such delays. Tenant shall not occupy the Office Space until the substantial completion of the Phase I
Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord or Landlord’s construction manager determines the same will not interfere
with the performance of the Phase I Work, Landlord hereby agrees to give Tenant, its agents and contractors access to the Office
Space prior to the Expansion Space Commencement Date to install Tenant’s telephone and wiring for the Office Space, provided
however, Tenant, its agents and contractors shall coordinate their work with Landlord, Landlord’s contractor and/or construction
manager so as to not interfere with Landlord’s Work.


 


Tenant
agrees to execute and deliver a memorandum of acceptance of premises to evidence the Expansion Space Commencement Date. Adjustment
of the Expansion Space Commencement Date as set out herein shall not adjust the expiration date of September 30, 2010.


 




    	 	 	 



     


    

 


5.
Landlord’s Work: Tenant accepts the Expansion Space in its “as-is” condition as shown on Exhibit B
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, subject to the tenant improvement items shown on the plans attached
hereto as Exhibit C (the “Phase I Work”) and Exhibit D (the “Phase II Work”).
Other than defects caused by or arising from Tenant’s acts or omissions, Landlord warrants that the Office Space shall
be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the Expansion Space Commencement Date. The Phase
I Work and the Phase II Work are sometimes collectively referred to herein as “Landlord’s Work”. Landlord shall
perform Landlord’s Work. Unless otherwise specified on the plans attached hereto as Exhibit C and Exhibit
D, all Landlord’s Work shall be done to Landlord’s Tenant Improvement Standards attached as Exhibit B-4 to the
Lease. Tenant shall occupy the Office Space upon substantial completion of the Phase I Work and shall occupy the Lab Space upon
substantial completion of the Phase II Work. Upon substantial completion of the Landlord’s Work for each Phase, Landlord
shall notify Tenant of such substantial completion and Landlord and Tenant shall inspect the Landlord’s Work for such Phase
and shall prepare a punchlist of items of Landlord’s Work requiring repair which Landlord shall complete within thirty (30)
days. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in Exhibit C and Exhibit D to the contrary it is understood that
Landlord’s Work shall not include the improvements set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference, whether “priced” by Landlord or not. If Tenant wishes to have any of the work or tenant improvements
listed on Exhibit E performed, then the same shall be done at Tenant’s expense as a change order or shall be done
by Tenant at Tenant’s expense. Any work done by Tenant at Tenant’s expense is subject to Landlord’s prior written
approval and other requirements of Section 5.01 of the Lease regarding alterations or work by Tenant.


 


This
Amendment presumes that the Phase I Work and the Phase II Work shall be done “turnkey”, with Landlord paying for the
cost of constructing the Phase I Work and the Phase II Work. No changes may be made to the Phase I Work. Landlord will not be
able to make significant changes to the items included the Phase II Work unless Tenant pays for the entire cost of such changes
with no offset for deleted items, if any, and Landlord may require Tenant to deposit with Landlord the estimated costs of such
changes in excess of the Change Order Allowance set forth below. If significant changes to the Phase II Work are requested, but
Tenant does not agree to pay for such changes or does not deposit the estimated cost of such work with Landlord, then Landlord,
at its option may (i) refuse to perform the requested change(s) or (ii) convert the nature of the agreement as to the Phase II
Work from a “turnkey” arrangement to a “Tenant pays for upfit” arrangement with Landlord providing a “tenant
improvement allowance” for the Phase II Work in the amount of$54,500.00 (this amount being representative of the cost of
the Phase II Work outlined on Exhibit D). If Landlord converts the nature of the agreement as to the Phase II Work to a “Tenant
pays for upfit” arrangement with Landlord providing a tenant improvement allowance, then, Landlord shall give Tenant an
offset for deleted items in the Phase II Work pursuant to the approved change orders.


 


Regardless
of whether the Phase II Work is a “turnkey” arrangement or “Tenant pays for upfit” arrangement, Landlord
will provide an additional allowance up to a $10,000 maximum (the “Change Order Allowance”) for the cost of changes
to the Phase I Work and Phase II Work collectively made pursuant to change orders approved by both Landlord and Tenant; provided
however it is understood that the Change Order Allowance shall only be used to pay for building standard office improvements;
no specialized laboratory equipment or other non-building standard office items or upgrades from building standard office upfit
shall be paid for by the Change Order Allowance. For the purposes of this Amendment, the upfit items provided to Tenant under
the Lease in connection with the initial upfit of the Existing Premises shall be considered to be “building standard office
improvements”. For each $5,000 (or portion thereof) of the Change Order Allowance used, the base rental rate on the Additional
Space shall increase by $0.16 per square foot per annum on a pro-rata basis based on the amount of the Change Order Allowance
actually used.


 


Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord, its employees, agents, contractors (and their subcontractors) shall be working on the Phase II
Work and any punchlist items for the Phase I Work in the Expansion Space (and as necessary in the Existing Premises) after
the Expansion Space Commencement Date. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord, its employees, agents, and contractors (and their
subcontractors) an easement in and over the Expansion Space and Existing Premises to access and perform the Landlord’s
Work. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, provided Landlord is prosecuting Landlord’s Work in a timely manner (subject
to delays outside Landlord’s reasonable control and delays caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees and
contractors) performance of the Landlord’s Work shall not constitute a constructive eviction or a breach of the
warranty of quiet enjoyment for either the Expansion Space or the Existing Premises. Other than defects caused by or arising
from Tenant’s acts or omissions, Landlord warrants that the Lab Space shall be free of defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the completion of the Phase II Work. Tenant shall not occupy the Lab Space
prior to the substantial completion of the Phase II Work and shall coordinate with Landlord so as to not delay the completion
of the Phase II Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord or Landlord’s construction manager determines
the same will not interfere with the performance of the Phase II Work, Landlord hereby agrees to give Tenant, its agents and
contractors access to the Lab Space at least two (2) weeks prior to the dale Landlord estimates it will complete the Phase II
Work to install Tenant’s telephone and wiring for the Lab Space, provided however, Tenant, its agents and contractors
shall coordinate their work with Landlord, Landlord’s contractor and/or construction manager so as to not interfere
with the Phase II Work.


 


Tenant
acknowledges that all of Landlord’s Work in regard to the tenant improvements for the Existing Premises set forth in Article
3 of the Lease have been fully completed by Landlord and Tenant has accepted the Existing Premises, subject to the additional
Landlord’s Work to be done in the Existing Premises pursuant to Exhibit C and Exhibit D attached hereto.
