A123
SYSTEMS, INC. 

Nonstatutory
Stock Option Agreement
 Granted Under 2001 Stock Incentive Plan  

        1.    Grant of Option.    

        This
agreement evidences the grant by A123 Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), on                        ,
                        (the "Grant Date")
to                        , a
board director of the Company (the "Participant"), of an option to purchase, in whole or in part, on the terms provided herein and in the Company's 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), a
total of                  shares (the "Shares") of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company ("Common Stock") at
$                        per Share. For purposes of this option, the "Vesting
Commencement Date" shall mean                  ,        . Unless earlier terminated, this option shall expire
on                  ,        (the "Final Exercise Date").
 

        It
is intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall not be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and
any regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Code"). Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term "Participant", as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires
the right to exercise this option validly under its terms. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term "Company" shall include any of the Company's present or future parent or subsidiary
corporations as
defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Code") and any other business venture (including,
without limitation, joint venture or limited liability company) in which the Company has a significant interest, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). 

2.    Vesting Schedule.    

        (a)   This
option will become exercisable ("vest") as to 6.25% of the original number of Shares on the date that is three months following the Vesting Commencement Date and as
to an additional 6.25% of the original number of Shares at the end of each successive three-month period following the date that is three months following the Vesting Commencement Date until the
fourth anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date. 

        (b)   The
right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent the option is not exercised in any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be
exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the Final Exercise Date or the termination of this option under Section 3 hereof or the
Plan. 

        (c)   Upon
the occurrence of a Sale (as defined in Section 4(g)(2) below) of the Company, the vesting of this option under Section 2(a) above shall be
accelerated in part so that the option shall become exercisable for an additional number of shares equal to 25% of the Shares originally subject to this option. This option shall continue to vest with
respect to the remaining unvested Shares in accordance with Section 2(a) above. 

3.    Exercise of Option.    

        (a)    Form of Exercise.    Each election to exercise this option shall be made by delivery of an exercise notice, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, signed by the Participant, and received by the Company at its principal office, accompanied by this
agreement, and payment in full in the manner provided in the Plan. The Participant may purchase less than the number of shares covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this option may be
for any fractional share or for fewer than one hundred whole shares. 

        (b)    Continuous Relationship with the Company Required.    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3,
this option may not be exercised unless the Participant, at the time he or she exercises this 

 

option,
is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to the Company (an "Eligible Participant"). 

        (c)    Termination of Relationship with the Company.    If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for
any reason, then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the right to exercise this option shall terminate three months after such cessation (but in no event after the Final
Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise this option on the date
of such cessation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, violates the non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment
contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company, the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to
the Participant from the Company describing such violation. 

        (d)    Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability.    If the Participant dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for "cause" as specified in
paragraph (e) below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in the case of death by
an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the
date of his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date. 

        (e)    Discharge for Cause.    If the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, is discharged by the Company for
"cause" (as defined below), the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such discharge. "Cause" shall mean willful misconduct by the Participant or willful
failure by the Participant to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company (including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory,
nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement between the Participant and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. The Participant
shall be considered to have been discharged for "Cause" if the Company determines, within 30 days after the Participant's resignation, that discharge for cause was warranted. 

4.    Right of First Refusal.    

        (a)   If
the Participant proposes to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively, "transfer") any
Shares acquired upon exercise of this option, then the Participant shall first give written notice of the proposed transfer (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company. The Transfer Notice shall name the
proposed transferee and state the number of such Shares the Participant proposes to transfer (the "Offered Shares"), the price per share and all other material terms and conditions of the transfer. 

        (b)   For
30 days following its receipt of such Transfer Notice, the Company shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares at the
price and upon the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. In the event the Company elects to purchase all of the Offered Shares, it shall give written notice of such election to the Participant
within such 30-day period. Within 10 days after his receipt of such notice, the Participant shall tender to the Company at its principal offices the certificate or certificates
representing the Offered Shares, duly endorsed in blank by the Participant or with duly endorsed stock powers attached thereto, all in a form suitable for transfer of the Offered Shares to the
Company. Promptly following receipt of such certificate or certificates, the Company shall deliver or mail to the Participant a check in payment of the purchase price for the Offered Shares;  provided that if the terms of payment set forth in the Transfer Notice were other than cash against delivery, the Company may pay for the Offered Shares
on the same terms and conditions as were set forth in the Transfer Notice; and provided further that any delay in making such payment shall not
invalidate the Company's exercise of its option to purchase the Offered Shares. 

2

 

        (c)   If
the Company does not elect to acquire all of the Offered Shares, the Participant may, within the 30-day period following the expiration of the option
granted to the Company under subsection (b) above, transfer the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee, provided that such transfer shall not
be on terms and conditions more favorable to the transferee than those contained in the Transfer Notice. Notwithstanding any of the above, all Offered Shares transferred pursuant to this
Section 4 shall remain subject to the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 4 and such transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written
instrument confirming that such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Section 4. 

        (d)   After
the time at which the Offered Shares are required to be delivered to the Company for transfer to the Company pursuant to subsection (b) above, the Company
shall not pay any dividend to the Participant on account of such Offered Shares or permit the Participant to exercise any of the privileges or rights of a stockholder with respect to such Offered
Shares, but shall, in so far as permitted by law, treat the Company as the owner of such Offered Shares. 

        (e)   The
following transactions shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section 4: 

        (1)   any
transfer of Shares to or for the benefit of the Participant's spouse, any of the Participant's or his or her spouse's parents, children, siblings, nieces, nephews or
grandchildren, or to a trust for his or her or their benefit; 

        (2)   any
transfer pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); and 

        (3)   the
sale of all or substantially all of the shares of capital stock of the Company (including pursuant to a merger or consolidation); 

provided, however, that in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, such Shares shall
remain subject to the right of first refusal set forth in this Section 4 and such transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument confirming that
such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Section 4. 

        (f)    The
Company may assign its rights to purchase Offered Shares in any particular transaction under this Section 4 to one or more persons or entities. 

        (g)   The
provisions of this Section 4 shall terminate upon the earlier of the following events: 

        (1)   the
closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the
Securities Act; or 

        (2)   the
sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock, assets or business of the Company, by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise (other than a
transaction in which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were beneficial owners of the Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting, surviving or acquiring corporation in such transaction). 

        (h)   The
Company shall not be required (a) to transfer on its books any of the Shares which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions
set forth in this Section 4, or (b) to treat as owner of such Shares or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom any such Shares shall have been so sold or transferred. 

3

 

        (i)    The
certificate representing Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to, or in combination with, any legend required by applicable
federal and state securities laws and agreements relating to the transfer of the Company securities): 

The
shares represented by this certificate are subject to a right of first refusal in favor of the Company, as provided in a certain stock option agreement with the Company. 

5.    Agreement in Connection with Public Offering.    

        The
Participant agrees, in connection with the initial underwritten public offering of the Company's securities pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act,
(i) not to sell, make short sale of, loan, grant any options for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock held by the Participant (other than those shares included in
the offering) without the prior written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such initial underwritten public offering of the Company's securities for a period of 180 days from
the effective date of such registration statement, and (ii) to execute any agreement reflecting clause (i) above as may be requested by the Company or the managing underwriters at the
time of such offering. 

6.    Investment Representations.    

        The
Participant understands and agrees that, as a condition to exercise of this option, the Participant will be required to make the representations, warranties and covenants contained
in the form of Exercise Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, unless at the time of exercise the Shares issuable upon exercise are covered by an
effective registration statement. 

7.    Nontransferability of Option.    

        This
option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this option shall be exercisable only by the Participant. 

        8.    Tax Matters; Withholding.    

        No
Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option unless and until the Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any
federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of this option. 

        9.    Notices.    

        Any
notice hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when mailed by first class mail, or delivered by hand, (i) if to the Company, to its principal
executive office, attention: President; and (ii) if to the Participant, to the address of the Participant listed in the record books of the Company. 

        10.    Provisions of the Plan.    

        This
option is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this option.

Attention:
Secretary 

Dear
Sir or Madam: 

        I
am the holder of a Nonstatutory Stock Option granted to me under the A123 Systems, Inc. (the "Company") 2001 Stock Incentive Plan
on                        for the purchase of
                  shares of Common Stock of the Company at a purchase price of
$                  per share. 

        I
hereby exercise my option to purchase                  shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"), for which I have enclosed [cash][personal
check][or if permitted by plan, stock certificates Nos.         and            ] in the amount of
[$              ][or number of shares tendered]. Please register my stock certificate as follows: 

			
	Name(s) to appear on stock certificate:

I
represent, warrant and covenant as follows: 

        1.     I
am purchasing the Shares for my own account for investment only, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares in violation of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act. 

        2.     I
have had such opportunity as I have deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is necessary to permit me to evaluate the merits
and risks of my investment in the Company. 

        3.     I
have sufficient experience in business, financial and investment matters to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the purchase of the Shares and to make an informed
investment decision with respect to such purchase. 

        4.     I
can afford a complete loss of the value of the Shares and am able to bear the economic risk of holding such Shares for an indefinite period. 

        5.     I
understand that (i) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, (ii) the Shares cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is then
available; (iii) in any event, the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at least one year and even then will not be available unless a public market then
exists for the Common Stock, adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and (iv) there is
now no registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to any stock of the Company and the Company has no obligation or current intention to register the Shares
under the Securities Act. 

Very
truly yours,

other additional rent for the cost, including the installation cost, of the reserved parking signage. Landlord reserves the right to (i) designate areas where Tenant should park; and

        3.1.3.    Other Additional Rent.    Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, all payments due to Landlord from Tenant

Wherever in this Lease payments due Landlord from Tenant are other additional rent, the same shall be due and payable in full on the next Rent Payment Day except that one-time or
non-recurring items that are charged as other additional rent shall be due on the later to occur of thirty days after the date of written demand or the next Rent Payment Date, unless

change of any company providing electricity service, including maintenance, repair, installation, and service costs associated therewith; the cost, premiums, and charges for public liability, property
damage, fire and extended coverage, rent, liquor liability, fidelity, worker's compensation, boiler, plate glass, and any other insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Complex; and the costs
of snow, ice, trash, and rubbish removal; the cost of exterior landscaping, lawn mowing, hedge trimming, fertilizing, replacing shrubs and other vegetation, seeding, weeding, sodding, watering, and
caring for the Complex; and the cost of cleaning, repairing, maintaining, and replacing any sidewalks, driveways, and curbs adjacent to the Complex; the cost of hand tools and other movable equipment
used in the operation, cleaning, repair, safety, management, security, or maintenance of the Complex (collectively, the "Tool
Expense"), provided that if the cost of all or any portion of the Tool Expense should, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, be
depreciated or amortized rather than expended in the Cost Year incurred, the Tool Expense or such portion thereof, shall be depreciated or amortized, as the case may be, on a straight-line
basis over an appropriate period selected by Landlord, with an interest factor equal to the Prime Rate plus two percentage points (2.00%) existing at the time the Tool Expense or such portion is
incurred; the cost of rental of any tools and equipment; the cost of all repair, and cleaning supplies and materials; the cost of uniforms, work clothes, and laundering and dry cleaning; and the cost
of telephone, computing, copying, office supplies, and stationery; the cost of cleaning, guard, watchman, security personnel, security service, or security system for the Complex; the cost of all
management, maintenance, alarm service, janitorial, elevator maintenance, window cleaning, rubbish removal, landscaping service, and other service agreements; and the charges of independent
contractors and consultants performing work included within this definition of Complex Operating Costs, including any contractors or consultants performing work with respect to the furnishing of
electrical energy to the Complex or the computation of the cost thereof; reasonable and customary management fees as may be charged by Landlord or Landlord's managing agent; legal, accounting
(including data processing charges), auditing, and other professional fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the ownership, operation, and management of the Complex; the cost of applying
for and pursuing abatements of Real Estate Taxes; local association fees and dues; and the costs of obtaining licenses and permits and making required filings with governmental and financing entities;
and the cost of capital expenditures for the common areas of the Complex made by reason of any Legal Requirement or any Insurance Requirement, and the cost of capital expenditures for the common areas
of the Complex made that are intended or expected to reduce or moderate the Complex Operating Costs may be added into Complex Operating Costs for the Cost Year in which incurred and in subsequent Cost
Years, by amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of such item as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with sound accounting procedures,
consistently applied, in effect at the time the capital expenditure is incurred, with an interest factor equal to the Prime Rate plus two percentage points (2.00%) existing at the time of the
expenditure. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if Landlord reasonably concludes on the basis of engineering estimates that a particular capital expenditure will effect savings in Complex
Operating Costs including, without limitation, energy-related costs, and that such projected savings will, on an annual basis ("Complex Projected Annual
Savings"), exceed the amortization or depreciation of such capital expenditure computed as aforesaid, then and in such events, for the purposes of
determining Complex Operating Costs, the depreciation or amortization of such capital expenditure shall be accelerated to reflect an annual amount equal to the Complex Projected Annual Savings; and in
such circumstances, the increased depreciation or amortization (in the amount of the Complex Projected Annual Savings) shall be made for such period of time as it would take to fully amortize the cost
of the capital item in question, together with interest as aforesaid. The allocation of Complex Operating Costs among the various buildings in the Complex shall be on the basis of the ratio of 

8

 

the
total rentable square feet of each building in the Complex to the Rentable Square Feet of the Complex. For purposes of this Lease, the rentable square feet of the Building shall be 10,993 rentable
square feet, and shall not be subject to adjustment. 

        3.2.3.    Building Operating Costs Defined.    "Building Operating
Costs" shall include, without limitation, all expenses, costs, and disbursements of every kind and nature (and taxes thereon (excluding any income taxes) that Landlord shall
pay or become obligated to pay during the Cost Year in question) in connection with the repair, safety, management, ownership, operation, cleaning, equipping, protecting, and maintenance of the
Building. Building Operating Costs include the cost of capital expenditures for the Building made by reason of any Legal Requirement or any Insurance Requirement, and the cost of capital expenditures
made that are intended or expected to reduce or moderate the Building Operating Costs may be added into Building Operating Costs for the Cost Year in which incurred and in subsequent Cost Years, by
amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of such item as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with sound accounting procedures, consistently applied,
in effect at the time the capital expenditure is incurred, with an interest factor equal to the Prime Rate plus two percentage points (2.00%) existing at the time of the expenditure. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if Landlord reasonably concludes on the basis of engineering estimates that a particular capital expenditure will effect savings in Building Operating Costs including, without
limitation, energy-related costs, and that such projected savings will, on an annual basis ("Building Projected Annual
Savings"), exceed the amortization or depreciation of such capital expenditure computed as aforesaid, then and in such events, for the purposes of
determining Building Operating Costs, the depreciation or amortization of such capital expenditure shall be accelerated to reflect an annual amount equal to the Building Projected Annual Savings; and
in such circumstances, the increased depreciation or amortization (in the amount of the Building Projected
Annual Savings) shall be made for such period of time as it would take to fully amortize the cost of the capital item in question, together with interest as aforesaid. A portion of Complex Operating
Costs shall be included in Building Operating Costs in accordance with Section 3.2.2, provided that no cost shall be counted in both Complex Operating Costs and in Building Operating Costs. 

        3.2.4.    Exclusions from Operating Costs.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, neither
Complex Operating Costs nor Building Operating Costs (collectively, "Operating Costs") shall include the following: 

        (i)    Any
ground lease or underlying lease rental; 

        (ii)   Bad
debt expenses and interest, principal, points and fees on debts or amortization on any mortgage or other debt instrument encumbering the Complex; 

        (iii)  Costs
incurred by Landlord to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed by insurance proceeds or is otherwise reimbursed by third-parties; 

        (iv)  Depreciation,
amortization, interest payments, except as permitted in Sections 3.2.2, and 3.2.3; 

        (v)   Advertising
and promotional expenditures, and costs of acquisition and maintenance of signs in or on the Complex, except for common signage; 

        (vi)  Marketing
costs, including lease commissions, attorneys' fees (in connection with the negotiation and preparation of letters of intent, leases, subleases and/or
assignments), space planning costs, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with lease, sublease and/or assignment negotiations and transactions with present or prospective tenants or
other occupants of the Complex, and costs incurred with respect to the installation of other tenants' improvements; 

9

 

        (vii) Expenses
in connection with the enforcement of Landlord's rights against Tenant or other tenants and occupants of the Complex; 

        (viii)  Expenses
in connection with services or other benefits that are not offered to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged for directly; and 

        (ix)  Amounts
paid to affiliates or subsidiaries of Landlord for goods or services in the Complex to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such goods and/or services
rendered by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis. 

        3.2.5.    Method of Payment.    Payment of the Expense Allocation is described below. 

        3.2.5.1.    Initial Method of Payment.    Commencing on July 1, 2005, Tenant shall pay one-twelfth
of each of the Initial Expense Allocation until Landlord furnishes to Tenant an Annual Operating Estimate as described below. 

        3.2.5.2.    Annual Operating Estimate.    Landlord will, within ninety days of the end of each Fiscal Year after the
Base Cost Year, furnish to Tenant a written estimate ("Annual Operating Estimate") of the Building
Operating Costs for the Building and Expense Allocation for the current Fiscal Year. During such Fiscal Year, commencing on the first day of the first calendar month of the Fiscal Year after the Base
Cost Year, Tenant shall pay each month on the Rent Payment Day one-twelfth of the estimated Expense Allocation until Tenant receives another Annual Operating Estimate. If the Annual
Operating Estimate shall be furnished to Tenant after the commencement of a Fiscal Year, then Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord an amount equal to the portion of such increase allocable to the
part of the current Cost Year that shall have elapsed, and such payment shall be made within thirty days following the date that the Annual Estimate is furnished to Tenant. At any time during a Cost
Year (but no more frequently than quarterly), Landlord shall be entitled to update and revise the Annual Operating Estimate if there is an increase in the Building Operating Costs during the Cost
Year. 

        3.2.5.3.    Occupancy of Complex.    If the actual percentage of occupancy of the Complex is less than one hundred
percent for any Cost Year, including the Base Cost Year, the Complex Operating Costs incurred shall be reasonably projected by Landlord to be the estimated Complex Operating Costs that would have been
incurred if the Complex were ninety-five percent (95%) occupied for such Cost Year (with all tenants paying full rent, as contrasted with free rent, half rent, or like rent concession),
and with such services and utilities being supplied to all tenants, and such projected amount shall be included in Complex Operating Costs for such Cost Year. 

        3.2.5.4.    Year-End Adjustments.    Commencing with the end of the Base Cost Year, Landlord shall within
four months after the end of each Fiscal Year furnish to Tenant a statement ("Annual Operating
Statement") of the actual Building Operating Costs for the Building and Complex Operating Costs and, with respect to each Cost Year after the Base Cost
Year, the Expense Allocation for the Cost Year then ended. Landlord and Tenant shall annually make such adjustments (described below) as may be necessary based on each such Annual Operating Statement,
so that for each respective Cost Year (a portion thereof in the case of partial Lease Years, in which case as such amount shall be
prorated) Tenant will have paid the amount of the actual Expense Allocation for the Cost Year, as follows: 

        (a)    Underpayment by Tenant.    If the Expense Allocation for the Cost Year as shown on the Annual Operating
Statement exceeds the total payments made by Tenant with respect to estimates of same for the Cost Year, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within thirty days after receipt of the Annual
Operating Statement. 

10

 

        (b)    Overpayment by Tenant.    If the Expense Allocation for the Cost Year as shown on the Annual Operating
Statement is less than the total monthly payments made by Tenant with respect to estimates of same for the Cost Year, Landlord shall give Tenant a credit (in the amount of such excess) against Rent,
Tax Reimbursement payments, or other payments next coming due, unless the Lease has expired, in which case Landlord shall pay to Tenant, within thirty days of the date of delivery to Tenant of such
Annual Operating Statement, such excess after first deducting for any unpaid Rent or other claims that Landlord may have against Tenant. If an Event of Default existed under this Lease when this Lease
terminates or expires, then any adjustment payments to be made by Landlord to Tenant may be reduced by (and Landlord may retain) any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord, whether under this Lease or
otherwise. 

        3.2.6.    Record Keeping.    Landlord shall keep full and accurate books of account covering Operating Costs, and the
Annual Operating Statement shall accurately reflect same and Tenant's share thereof. The books of account and all supporting documents shall be retained by Landlord for a period of at least one year
after the delivery to Tenant of each Annual Operating Statement. Unless Tenant sends Landlord Tenant's Audit Notice in compliance with Section 3.2.7, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived
its right to object to the calculation of Expense Allocation for the year in question and the calculation of the Expense Allocation set forth on such statement shall be final. 

        3.2.7.    Inspection and Audit Rights.    Upon Tenant's written request given within sixty after Landlord delivers to
Tenant the Annual Operating Statement ("Tenant's Audit Notice"), Tenant shall have the right to inspect or audit Landlord's books of account and all supporting documents with respect to matters set
forth in the Annual Operating Statement. No audit or inspection shall extend to periods of time before the Lease Commencement Date. Tenant's audit or inspection shall commence no later than sixty days
after Tenant's Audit Notice, and shall be conducted only at Landlord's offices or the offices of Landlord's property manager during business hours reasonably designated by Landlord and shall be
completed no later than 120 days after Tenant's Audit Notice. Tenant shall pay all costs of such audit or inspection. An audit may be made only by a firm first approved by Landlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition to performing any such inspection or audit, Tenant and its examiners shall be required to execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement, in
form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, agreeing to keep confidential any information that it discovers about Landlord,
the Buildings or the Complex in connection with such examination. Tenant may not conduct an inspection or have an audit performed under this Section 3.2.7 more than once with respect to any
Fiscal Year. Landlord shall keep full and accurate books of account covering the Building Operating Costs and the Annual Operating Statement shall accurately reflect same and Tenant's share thereof. 

        3.2.7.1.    Results of Audit.    If Tenant's inspection or audit reveals an overcharge to Tenant of the greater of
(i) more than five percent of the annual Expense Allocation, and (ii) $1,500.00, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for up to $5,000.00 of the reasonable costs of such audit or
inspection within thirty days of receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefore. Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment of Expense Allocation, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any
underpayment of Expense Allocation as revealed by such audit or inspection within thirty days after notification thereof, and in each instance together with interest at the annual rate of the Prime
Rate plus three percent.

ARTICLE 4. REIMBURSEMENT FOR REAL ESTATE TAXES.  

        Section 4.1.    Tenant to Reimburse Landlord for Real Estate Taxes.    Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to
Landlord as Additional Rent during the Lease Term, the Tax Reimbursement in accordance with this Article 4. The following terms apply: 

        (a)   "Tax Year" means the tax fiscal year commencing on July 1 and ending on the following June 30. If a taxing
authority imposing real estate taxes adopts some other tax fiscal year, the term "Tax Year" shall, as to that taxing authority, mean such adopted tax fiscal year, and appropriate adjustments shall be
made by Landlord and Tenant with respect to the transition period. 

        (b)   "Base Tax Year" means the tax Fiscal Year commencing on July 1, 2005 and ending on June 30, 2006. 

        (c)   "Real Estate Taxes" means, as to any given Tax Year, the total of all taxes (excluding any succession, transfer, or gift
taxes and any income taxes, franchise taxes, any taxes on rentals, inheritance taxes, estate taxes, excise taxes, capital stock taxes, and excluding any penalties or interest incurred by Landlord due
to Landlord's failure to make timely payment of Real Estate Taxes) and assessments,
water, sewer, and other rents, rates, charges, excises, levies, fees, and all other charges, that are for the Tax Year levied, assessed, or imposed by any governmental authority, upon, against or with
respect to the Complex including the buildings in the Complex, the Parking Garage, and the land and common areas of the Complex or rentals, use, or occupancy of the same and, as to any of the same for
the first time levied, assessed, or imposed in the future, whether they are in replacement, substitution, or addition of or to Real Estate Taxes theretofore in effect. Landlord agrees to cause
betterment assessments to be paid over the longest period permitted by law, and, as to such betterment assessments, only installments (together with any interest thereon) coming due during the Tax
Year in question shall be added into "Real Estate Taxes" for such Tax Year. If during any Tax Year, Landlord makes payments as calculated under that certain "Memorandum of Understanding with respect
to Payment In Lieu of Taxes," between the Town of Watertown and Landlord dated as of July 1, 2002, as the same may be amended (the "MOU"), Real
Estate Taxes shall mean the aggregate payment made by Landlord under the MOU in such Tax Year, provided that the Base Tax Year also includes the aggregate payment made by Landlord under the MOU in the
Base Tax Year. It is understood and agreed that the MOU currently provides for an annual increase of three percent (3%). 

        (d)   "Tenant's Tax Share" 1.4792% (the percentage calculated by dividing the rentable square feet of the Premises (10,993) by
the Rentable Square Feet of the Complex (743,176)). Tenant's Tax Share shall be adjusted proportionately if the Rentable Square Feet of the Complex is increased or decreased. Tenant's Tax Share shall
not be adjusted if the rentable square feet of the Premises is increased or decreased. 

        (e)   "Tax Reimbursement" shall mean with respect to each Tax Year during the Lease Term after the Base Tax Year, an amount
equal to Tenant's Tax Share of the increase in Real Estate Taxes for such Tax Year over Real Estate Taxes for the Base Tax Year. 

        Section
4.2.    Payment of the Tax Reimbursement.    Landlord shall annually estimate the Tax Reimbursement and,
commencing on July 1, 2006, one-twelfth of the amount estimated shall be paid on each Rent Payment Day, whether or not the Real Estate Taxes are due and payable to the applicable
taxing authority. Within sixty days after Landlord furnishes Tenant with a copy of the bill(s) for real estate taxes for a Tax Year, Landlord and Tenant shall make an adjustment, with payment to
Landlord in the case that Tenant owes additional amounts to Landlord, or with a credit given by Landlord to Tenant against Rent next coming due, so that Landlord shall receive the entire amount of the
Tax Reimbursement with respect to such Tax Year and no more. If at the end of the Lease Term this Lease shall be in effect for less than a full Tax Year, the Tax Reimbursement for that Tax Year 

12

 

shall
be prorated based on the number of days this Lease shall be in effect during such Tax Year. If this Lease expires or is terminated during a Tax Year, the adjustment referred to above shall occur
upon such expiration or termination, or, if necessary, as soon thereafter as accurate information as to the Real Estate Taxes for the Tax Year is known, except that Landlord shall promptly refund to
Tenant any such excess payment, but Landlord may deduct from any adjustment due Tenant, any unpaid Rent or other claims that Landlord may have against Tenant. 

        Section
4.3.    Abatement.    Nothing contained in this Lease shall obligate Landlord to seek any abatement of Real
Estate Taxes. If Landlord shall seek an abatement (or otherwise contest with a taxing authority the Real Estate Taxes), and if, after Tenant shall have made a payment to reimburse Landlord on account
of such Real Estate Taxes, Landlord shall receive a refund with respect to a Tax Year of any portion of the Real Estate Taxes on which such payment shall have been based, then of the net refund
(i.e., the amount of the refund remaining after deducting all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Landlord in obtaining such refund), Landlord shall grant
Tenant a credit against Rent next coming due in the amount of Tenant's Tax Share; provided, however, that Landlord need not pay Tenant as aforesaid more than the amount paid by Tenant to Landlord
under Section 4.2 for the Lease Year(s) in question. If this Lease expires before Tenant realizes the benefit of the total amount of the credit to which Tenant is entitled under this
Section 4.3, then Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the outstanding credit within thirty days after the expiration of this Lease after first deducting for any unpaid Rent or other claims
that Landlord may have against Tenant, and, if Landlord receives a refund of Real Estate Taxes after the expiration of this Lease that would have resulted in a credit to Tenant under this
Section 4.3, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such credit within thirty days after the date that Landlord receives the refund from the taxing authority, after first deducting for
any unpaid Rent or other claims that Landlord may have against Tenant. 

        Section
4.4.    Landlord's Right to Recover.    Tenant covenants and agrees to pay the Tax Reimbursement when due as
provided in this Article 4, for any breach of which Landlord shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Article 6. 

ARTICLE 5. COVENANTS  

        Section 5.1.    Tenant's Covenants.    Tenant covenants and agrees that during the Lease Term and such further
time as Tenant holds any part of the Premises, Tenant shall pay or perform, as the case may be, the following as set forth below: 

        5.1.1.    Rent and other Payments; Independent Covenant.    Tenant covenants to pay when due (without any offset,
deduction, or abatement whatever, except as provided in this Lease in §8.2.3, and §9.2.2) the Rent, including all charges for electricity and other utilities and services that
are delivered or attributable to the Premises. The foregoing covenant of Tenant is an independent covenant and Tenant shall have no right to withhold or abate any payment of Rent or other payment,
except as provided in this Lease in §8.2.3, and §9.2.2, or to set off any amount against the Rent or other payment then due and payable, or to terminate this Lease, because of
any breach or alleged breach by Landlord of this Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has been represented by counsel of its choice and has participated fully in the negotiation of
this Lease, that Tenant understands that the remedies available to Tenant in the event of a default by Landlord may be more limited than those that would otherwise be available to Tenant under the
common law in the absence of certain provisions of this Lease, and that the so-called
"dependent covenants" rule as developed under the common law (including, without limitation, the statement of such rule as set forth in the Restatement (Second) of Property, Section 7.1) shall
not apply to this Lease or to the relationship of landlord and tenant created hereunder. 

13

 

        5.1.2.    Care of Premises.    Damage by fire, other casualty, eminent domain, and reasonable wear and use excepted,
Tenant covenants to keep the Premises substantially in as good order, repair, and condition as the same are in at the commencement of the Initial Lease Term, or may, in accordance with the terms of
this Lease, be put in thereafter; to keep the Premises clean and neat; and to conform to Landlord's reasonable requests from time to time relating to the appearance of the Premises, such requests to
be reasonably consistent with keeping the appearance of the Premises to the general standard of the Complex. The exception of reasonable wear and use contained in this Section 5.1.2 shall not
be construed to permit Tenant to maintain the Premises in anything less than good, serviceable, and tenantable condition, damage by fire, other casualty or eminent domain excepted. Tenant covenants to
take good care of the Premises and the fixtures and appurtenances therein, including the Building Systems and Structural Components, and to keep the Premises in a safe and sanitary condition. Tenant
is not required to make repairs, alterations, or replacements to the Existing HVAC System or Structural Components, except that if such repairs, alterations, or replacements are required due to
(i) Tenant's negligence or wrongful acts or omissions, or (ii) the fact that Tenant has caused or permitted use of or damage to Building Systems in violation of Legal Requirements or
Insurance Requirements, then in either such case Landlord may cause such repairs, alterations, or replacements to be performed at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant is required to make, at Tenant's sole
expense, all repairs, alterations, and replacements to any Building Systems that are installed by Tenant or at Tenant's direction, regardless of the event occasioning the need therefore, except to the
extent arising from any omission, fault, negligence, or other misconduct of Landlord or of Landlord's agents, contractors or employees. 

        5.1.3.    Glass.    Damage by fire or other insured casualty excepted, Tenant covenants to keep all interior glass of
within the Premises, if any, including that in windows and doors, whole and in good condition, and to replace promptly any glass that Tenant may damage or break with glass of the same quality. 

        5.1.4.    Yielding Up of Premises on Termination or Expiration, Security Interests.    Tenant covenants that at the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall (A) promptly remove (i) Tenant's personal property, goods and effects, (including any signage installed by Tenant or at
Tenant's direction); and (ii) benches, sinks, or fume hoods installed at Tenant's sole cost and expense (collectively, "Tenant's Lab Equipment"), unless Tenant obtains Landlord's prior written
consent to leave Tenant's Lab Equipment at the Premises; and (B) peaceably yield up immediately the Premises (together with any additions and improvements made thereto, except for items removed
by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease), clean and in compliance with Section 5.1.25.1, and in good order, repair, and condition, damage by fire, other casualty, eminent domain
and reasonable wear and use (as described in Section 5.1.2) excepted. All alterations and fixtures shall be left in the Premises at the expiration of the Lease Term, except that with respect to
alterations installed by Tenant pursuant to 5.1.9, Landlord may, at the time of approval of such alterations, require removal of such alterations, and with respect to alterations
installed as part of Tenant's Work, Landlord may require removal of such alterations by the terms of Landlord's Approval Letter (see Exhibit F). If
removal of any alterations or fixtures or any of Tenant's other goods, effects, personal property or signage causes any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall promptly repair same, or, at Landlord's
election, pay to Landlord money sufficient to cover the cost (as reasonably estimated by Landlord) for restoring the Premises. All goods, effects, or personal property remaining in or on the Premises
after the Tenant vacates the Premises or after the termination or expiration of this Lease (whichever first occurs) shall be deemed abandoned, and Landlord shall have the right to remove same at
Tenant's expense and use, sell, or destroy same as Landlord may elect. Tenant shall not grant security interests in any alterations or fixtures. 

14

 

 

        5.1.5.    Overloading, Nuisance, Flammables, Increase in Insurance Premiums.    Tenant covenants not to injure,
overload the capacity of the Building Systems and Structural Components, or deface the Premises, the Building or any part of the Complex, nor permit on the Premises any flammable fluids or chemicals,
except for the Permitted Hazardous Materials per Section 5.1.25, or any nuisance or emission from the Premises of any objectionable noise or odor, nor permit any use of the Premises that is
improper, contrary to law or ordinance, or liable to invalidate (or increase the premiums for) any insurance on the Building or its contents or liable to render necessary any alterations or additions
to the Building. Tenant shall not permit to be released on the Premises, the Building or any part of the Complex any Hazardous Materials. If for any reason Tenant's particular manner of use of the
Premises results in an increase of the premiums for the insurance of Landlord, Tenant shall on demand reimburse Landlord and such other tenants of the Building for all such insurance premium
increases. 

        5.1.6.    No Obstruction; Rules and Regulations.    Tenant covenants not to obstruct in any manner the sidewalks or
other approaches to the Building, the Reserved Facilities or any other Common Facilities of the Complex. Tenant covenants and agrees to comply with the rules and regulations attached hereto as  Exhibit A, including such amendments thereto as Landlord may reasonably promulgate from time to time with regard to the care and use of the
Premises, the Building, the Reserved Facilities, the Complex and the facilities, and approaches thereto. To the extent of any inconsistencies between the rules and regulations, and the terms of this
Lease, the express terms of this Lease shall govern. 

        5.1.7.    Compliance with Laws; Safety; Health.    Tenant covenants to keep the Premises in a safe and sanitary
condition and to comply with and to keep the Premises in compliance with, all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements now or hereafter existing that are required by or arise as a result of the
particular use made of the Premises by Tenant. Without limiting Tenant's obligations existing under any other provision of this Lease, if required by the foregoing sentence, Tenant covenants and
agrees to make all required repairs, alterations, replacements, or additions in and to the Premises and to install any required devices or equipment. If any of Tenant's Work or any other work in the
Premises performed by Tenant, including any Construction Work, triggers the need for other alterations under either the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S. Code 12101 et
seq., as it may be amended from time to time ("ADA") or other Legal Requirement, such alterations shall be performed by Tenant
(or by Landlord, at Landlord's election, if the alterations are needed in areas of the Building other than the Premises) in either case at Tenant's expense. Tenant is responsible for obtaining all
permits and licenses
from Governmental Authorities that are needed for Tenant to use the Premises. Except for any alterations required in connection with the ADA as set forth above, Tenant shall not be responsible for
compliance with any other laws, regulations, or the like requiring (i) structural repairs or modifications to the Structural Components of the Buildings or (ii) repairs or modifications
to the Building Systems of the Building, or (iii) installation of new building service equipment, such as fire detection or suppression equipment, unless such repairs, modification, or
installations shall (a) be due to Tenant's particular manner of use of the Premises (as opposed to office use generally), or (b) be due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant
or any agent, employee, contractor, or invitee of Tenant. 

        5.1.8.    No Assignment or Subletting.    As used in this Lease  "Subletting" includes transactions creating or resulting in one
or more subleases, tenancies-at-will, licenses, concessions, or
other occupancy arrangements. The instrument evidencing the Subletting is referred to herein as the "Sublease". Except as
permitted in Section 5.1.8.8 below, Tenant covenants not to engage in, or permit the assignment, transfer, mortgage, alienation, or pledge (collectively  "Assignment") of this Lease or any interest therein, nor engage in, or permit any Subletting of all or any part of the Premises,
nor suffer any of the foregoing to occur, without Landlord's prior written approval in 

15

 

each
instance. Landlord agrees that, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1.8, including satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1.8.5, and subject to Landlord's
rights under §5.1.8.2 below, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to a Subletting or Assignment. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord
shall not be deemed to have acted unreasonably in its election not to consent to any such action on the part of Tenant because (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
under this Lease or Tenant shall otherwise be in default in the performance of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee (the  "Proposed Tenant") shall be an existing tenant or occupant of the Complex, (iii) such assignment or subletting shall cause Landlord to be in
breach of any "exclusive use" or similar provision contained in any other lease for space in the Complex, (iv) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the Proposed Tenant is of a character or
is engaged in a business which would be deleterious to the reputation of the Complex, or the Proposed Tenant is not sufficiently financially responsible to perform its obligations under any such
Assignment or Subletting, or the Proposed Tenant or any of its partners, members, shareholders, employees or affiliates, or the business conducted by any of them, could pose a security risk for the
Complex and/or its occupants, (v) the Proposed Tenant is a Governmental Authority; (vi) the portion of the Premises which Tenant proposes to Sublease including the means of ingress and
egress thereto and the proposed use thereof, and the remaining portion of the Premises will violate any Legal Requirement, (vii) the Proposed Tenant is a party with whom Landlord is then
negotiating a lease for space in the Complex; provided, however, that the foregoing are merely examples of the reasons for which Landlord may reasonably not consent to any such actions by Tenant and
shall not be deemed exclusive of any reason for reasonably making such election, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing examples. 

        5.1.8.1.    Transfers of Interests in Tenant.    Except for transfers per Section 5.1.8.8, if at any time while

beneficial interest), a partnership or association, or otherwise not a natural person, and there shall occur any transfer (by one or more transfers) of a controlling portion of or controlling interest
in the stock, partnership, membership, or beneficial interest, or other evidences of equity interests or voting interest
of Tenant, such change in identity shall also constitute an Assignment for the purposes of this Section 5.1.8. The foregoing prohibition against Assignment and Subletting shall include
voluntary and involuntary Assignment and Subletting, and Assignment and Subletting by operation of law, including corporate mergers or consolidations, and (if Tenant is a corporation or other entity)
shall include Assignment of the controlling interest in the Tenant, except that transfers of stock or membership interests of Tenant (or other equity interest(s) tantamount to an equity interest) to
members (who are not under a legal disability so as to prevent such member from performing the transferor's obligations) of the immediate families of the substantial owners of Tenant shall be
permitted if they occur either (a) by inter vivos transfer if the transferor gives fourteen days prior written notice to Landlord of the proposed transfer including with the notice true copies
of all documents that will evidence the transfer, the name, address, and family relationship of the proposed transferee, and information in such detail as Landlord may request about the transferee's
creditworthiness and business experience or (b) by the terms of the duly probated will of the transferor. 

        5.1.8.2.    Listing of Names.    The listing of any name other than that of Tenant either on the doors of the Building
or otherwise, shall not operate to vest in any such other person, firm, or corporation any right or interest in the Lease or in the Premises or be deemed to effect or evidence any consent of Landlord,
it being expressly understood that any such listing is a privilege extended by Landlord revocable at will by Landlord by written notice to Tenant.

        5.1.8.3.    Additional Rent from Assignment or Subletting.    Tenant shall, within thirty days of receipt thereof, pay
to Landlord as other additional rent, fifty percent (50%) of any rent, sum, and other consideration to be paid or given in connection with any Subletting or Assignment, either initially or over time,
after deducting the Deductible Costs in excess of Basic Rent attributed to the portion of the Premises being sublet or assigned, as if such amount were originally called for by the terms of this
Lease. The term "Deductible Costs" shall mean (A) reasonable documented actual out-of-pocket expenses paid for
(i) legal services, (ii) brokerage fees and (iii) advertising expenses, each as incurred by Tenant in connection with the Subletting or Assignment, (B) reasonable actual
out-of- pocket amortized construction costs necessary in connection with the Subletting or the Assignment, including costs of constructing demising walls necessary to demise

Landlord's Contribution). 

        5.1.8.4.    Conditions to Subletting or Assignment.    Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, Tenant
shall have no right to enter into a Subletting or Assignment unless on both (i) the date on which Tenant notifies Landlord of its intention to enter into a Subletting or Assignment and
(ii) the date on which such Subletting or Assignment is to take effect, no Breach or Event of Default exists that, in either case, has not been cured. Any attempted Assignment or Subletting in
violation of any of the provisions of this Lease shall be void. No Assignment or Subletting shall in any way impair the
continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder (which after any such Assignment or Subletting shall be joint and several with the persons claiming under the Assignment or Subletting). 

        5.1.8.5.    Additional Provisions for Assignment.    No Assignment shall be effective unless and until Tenant delivers
to Landlord duplicate originals of the instrument of assignment (wherein the assignee assumes the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease provided, however, such assumption shall not
relieve or reduce Tenant's obligations under this Lease) and all related documents. In the event of an Assignment, Landlord and the assignee thereunder may modify this Lease in any manner, without
notice to Tenant and without Tenant's prior consent; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be liable for any such modified obligations. 

        5.1.8.6.    Additional Provisions for Subletting.    No Subletting of all or any part of the Premises shall be

applicable account information prior to commencement of the term of such Sublease. The term of any Subletting shall expire no later than one day prior to the Lease Expiration Date. Any Subletting
shall (a) be subject and subordinate to this Lease; (b) contain a provision prohibiting the subtenant from assigning the Sublease or subletting all or any part of the subleased premises
except in accordance with the terms of this Lease; and (c) include an agreement by the subtenant and Tenant that in the event this Lease is terminated, such subtenant shall, at Landlord's
request, attorn to Landlord on the terms of the Sublease, and the letters of credit and cash deposits held in trustee accounts shall be delivered in full to Landlord, and in such event such Sublease
shall remain in full force and effect between Landlord and such subtenant as if the Lease had not been terminated, and such subtenant shall promptly execute such documents as Landlord shall reasonably
request.

        5.1.8.7.    Affiliates.    Notwithstanding the third sentence in Section 5.1.8 or anything to the contrary in
§5.1.8.1, Tenant may enter into a Subletting or Assignment to Affiliates (as defined below) without Landlord's consent, provided, however, that (i) Tenant must provide Landlord with
prior written notice of any proposed Subletting or Assignment to Affiliates, and such notice shall include as an attachment a copy of the proposed Sublease or Assignment and a description of the
relationship between Tenant and the Affiliate, (ii) in all events Tenant shall remain primarily liable hereunder, and (iii) in the event of an Assignment or a Subletting of more than
fifty percent of the Premises, the Affiliate must be capitalized sufficiently to meet the assignee or subtenant obligations under the Assignment or Subletting as evidenced by a recent financial
statement prepared consistently with Tenant's Financial Statement. Any Subletting or Assignment to an Affiliate will be subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 5.1.8. The term  "Affiliate(s)
" shall mean an entity that is controlled by, is under common control with, or which controls A123 Systems, Inc. For the purposes of
this Section, "control" shall mean the ownership of more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest of the entity in question, together with rights to exercise more than fifty percent voting
control over the entity. Tenant
agrees to promptly provide Landlord with all documentation reasonably requested by Landlord evidencing the relationship between Tenant and the Affiliates, and current financial statements for the
Affiliate. Tenant may enter into an Assignment of the Lease to any successor of Tenant by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all the stock or assets of Tenant; provided that
(A) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord reasonable advance notice of any such Assignment, (B) the net worth of Tenant's successor (determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) immediately after such merger, consolidation or sale is equal to or greater than Tenant's net worth as of the Lease Commencement Date; and (C) any such Assignment shall
comply with the other terms and conditions of this Section 5.1.8. 

        5.1.8.8.    Landlord's Expense.    Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand therefor, all reasonable costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Landlord in connection with any Assignment or Subletting. 

        5.1.9.    Landlord's Consent Required for Tenant's Alterations.    Other than Tenant's Work, Tenant covenants not to
make in or to the Premises or the Building any construction work, alterations, or additions (collectively, "Construction Work")
or any holes in the walls, partitions, ceilings, or floors or to paint or place therein or thereon any signs or to place therein or thereon any awnings, aerials, flagpoles, or the like, without on
each occasion obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord's consent shall not be required in connection with hanging works of art or other decorative items on wall or partitions. In
addition, Tenant may make non-structural alterations affecting only the interior of the Premises, and not affecting Building Systems, costing less than $20,000 in any one instance (or in
the aggregate with respect to related alterations) without Landlord's prior written consent but with prior written notice to Landlord and subject to the provisions of this Lease, including this
Section 5.1.9 (collectively, "Permitted Alterations"). Landlord's consent and approval under this Section 5.1.9
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except for alterations affecting Structural Components or Building Systems or affecting the exterior of the Building, which shall be
determined by Landlord in its sole discretion. Landlord's consent may be subject to reasonable conditions deemed appropriate by Landlord, including review of plans and specifications, reasonable
approval of the contractors and subcontractors, and architect's certificate that the work complies with Legal Requirements, an architect's certificate of completion, and, if required by Legal
Requirements, a certificate of the city building inspector of final completion. Tenant covenants to cause any Construction Work in the Premises to be performed expeditiously, with first-class
workmanship and materials and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements; to pay for the 

18

 

same
when due; to remove promptly (and not later than twenty-five days in any event), or bond to Landlord's satisfaction, any materialmen's or mechanics liens filed in connection
therewith; and to save Landlord harmless and indemnified from all injury, loss, claims, costs, or damage to any person or property occasioned by or growing out of such Tenant Construction Work. If
Landlord deems it appropriate to supervise any of the Construction Work, Tenant shall pay the costs and expenses of such supervision, not to exceed three percent of the cost of the Construction Work.
Tenant shall cause contractors employed by Tenant to carry worker's compensation insurance in accordance with statutory requirements and commercial general liability insurance and automobile liability
insurance covering such contractors on or about the Premises, and such other appropriate insurance coverage as Landlord may reasonably require, in such reasonable amounts as Landlord shall reasonably
require, and Tenant shall submit certificates evidencing such coverage to Landlord before the commencement of such Construction Work. Nothing in this Section 5.1.9 shall be deemed to waive the
requirement that Tenant obtain Landlord's prior written consent to any such Construction Work, except as otherwise set forth herein. Tenant will provide to Landlord as-built plans of the
Premises promptly after the Construction Work is completed (except that as-built plans will not be required for any Construction Work not requiring a building permit, and for which no
building permit was obtained, unless the work involves changes in electrical, wiring, plumbing, chemical handling, access doors, venting, or air handling systems, in which case as-built
plans shall be provided). Tenant will pay all increases in Real Estate Taxes attributable to the Construction Work. 

        5.1.10.    Licenses and Permits.    Tenant covenants to procure, maintain, and observe any and all licenses, permits,
special permits, variances, or other Authorizations required by reason of the Permitted Use of the Premises by Tenant (but excluding the Building Permit) or any Construction Work by Tenant that has
been consented to by Landlord, and Tenant shall provide copies of same to Landlord. Landlord will cooperate reasonably with Tenant in Tenant's applications for any Authorizations, but Landlord shall
not be obligated to incur expenses in connection therewith. 

        5.1.11.    Indemnification.    

        (a)   To
the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant covenants and agrees to defend (at its own cost and expense and with counsel approved by Landlord), save harmless, and
indemnify Landlord: 

        (i)    from
all liability and claims of whatever nature 

        (1)   arising
from or related to the omission, fault, act, negligence, or misconduct (whether under this Lease or otherwise) of Tenant or of any employee, agent, contractor,
licensee, or visitor of Tenant; or 

        (2)   arising
from any accident, injury, or damage whatsoever resulting to any person or property while on or about the Premises (except to the extent arising from any
omission, fault, negligence, or other misconduct of Landlord or of Landlord's agents, contractor or employees); and 

        (ii)   from
any actions, proceedings, judgments, expenses, and costs in connection with matters described in Section 5.1.1 l(a)(i) above (including reasonable attorneys
fees and expenses), and including any claim of an employee of Tenant (including the subrogated claim) who is covered (or who should have been covered) in whole or in part by worker's compensation. 

        (b)   If
Landlord is made a party or a third-party defendant to a legal or administrative proceeding (because Landlord as lessor of the Premises is an indispensable party or
otherwise), which proceeding was initiated by Tenant based on acts or omissions of others or initiated by others based on acts or omissions of Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, 

19

 

upon
Landlord's request therefor, for all damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses related thereto incurred by Landlord, and Landlord shall retain at all times sole
discretion to select and direct the attorney(s) to represent Landlord in the proceeding. 

        (c)   The
covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.1.11 shall continue in full force and effect for the longest period of time permitted by law,
notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Lease. 

        (d)   Provisions
in this Lease that provide for Tenant's indemnity or exoneration of Landlord from liability shall be applied to the fullest extent permitted by law, and shall
be construed or modified, as
the case may be, so as to be in conformity with, and not in violation of, applicable laws limiting indemnities and exoneration. 

        5.1.12.    Enforcement Costs.    Tenant covenants to pay as other additional rent, Landlord's reasonable expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), incurred in enforcing or demanding enforcement of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. 

        5.1.13.    No Interference.    Tenant shall not permit employment of any contractor, worker, or mechanic in the
Premises, if such employment will interfere, or cause any conflict, with other contractors, workers, or mechanics engaged in work in the Building or in other parts of the Complex, and upon the request
of Landlord, Tenant shall cause all such contractors, workers, and mechanics to leave the Building and Complex immediately. Tenant shall submit a list of its proposed contractors to Landlord for
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall not permit any auction sale on or in the Premises or any other part of the Complex. 

        5.1.14.    Delivery of Financial Statements.    Within ninety days after the end of each of Tenant's fiscal years
occurring during the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, an audited annual financial statement of Tenant ("Tenant's Financial
Statement") for the then completed fiscal year prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and certified
by a nationally recognized accounting firm reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. 

        5.1.15.    No Violation.    Tenant covenants not to permit any servants, licensees, employees, agents, invitees, or
visitors of Tenant to violate any covenant or obligation of Tenant hereunder, or any of the rules and regulations from time to time promulgated by Landlord in such manner as Landlord may elect.
Nothing herein obligates Landlord to enforce the rules and regulations, or the terms, conditions, or covenants of any lease as against any other tenant or occupant of the Complex. Landlord shall not
be liable to Tenant for violations of such rules, regulations, terms, conditions, or covenants by any other tenant, or any servant, employee, invitee, licensee, agent, or visitor of any other tenant. 

        5.1.16.    Use.    Tenant may not use all or any part of the Premises, the Common Facilities, the Building or the
Complex in any manner that in Landlord's reasonable judgment would adversely affect the use and enjoyment of the Complex by any other tenant, occupant, visitor, or invitee, the character or reputation
of the Complex, or publicly embarrass Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the Complex. In addition to other remedies that Landlord may have, at Landlord's election, Landlord may by notice to Tenant
recapture the Premises, if substantially all of the Premises are not in continuous use for more than nine months by Tenant or any tenant under a Sublease or Assignment entered into pursuant to
Section 5.1.8. 

        5.1.17.    Keys.    Upon expiration or termination of the Lease, Tenant covenants to deliver the keys (which includes
access cards) of the Premises to Landlord. Tenant covenants not to change or replace any locks or any electronic access system nor shall new locks or electronic access system be added by Tenant
without the written permission of Landlord, which permission shall not be 

20

 

unreasonably
withheld. Tenant agrees that any locks or electronic access system so permitted to be installed shall become the property of Landlord and shall not be removed by Tenant. 

        5.1.18.    Security Alarm.    Tenant covenants not to install any security alarms or systems without prior written
consent from Landlord, which consent will not be withheld unreasonably by Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs associated with any Tenant installed security system. Tenant covenants to
supply Landlord keys, devices, or instructions, as the case may be, for deactivating said security alarms or systems. Any such security alarms or systems shall become part of the real estate at the
election of Landlord. 

        5.1.19.    No Parking.    Tenant covenants not to park automobiles, motorcycles, other vehicles, or bicycles on any
part of the Complex, except in accordance with Section 2.7. 

        5.1.20.    Insurance.    

        (a)    Types.    Tenant covenants to maintain at all times during the Lease Term for the mutual benefit of Landlord
and Tenant with respect to the Premises and Tenant's property therein a fully-paid commercial general liability insurance policy written on an occurrence basis, with a
so-called "broadening endorsement" (or in the so-called "broad form") insuring, without limitation, contractual liability, bodily injury (including death), personal injury,
products liability (and, if applicable, garage keepers liability, inn keepers liability, liquor liability, fire legal liability, and, if there is an elevator in the Building, elevator liability), with
an endorsement deleting the "care, custody, and control" exclusion and with a combined single limit equal to the Minimum Liability Insurance Coverage (with an annual aggregate limit greater than two
times the Minimum Liability Insurance Coverage) with respect to bodily injury, personal injury, property damage, and policies of pollution legal liability insurance in an amount of at least
$2,000,000. If Tenant conducts business at locations other than the Premises, the insurance policy shall contain an endorsement that the aggregate limit in the policy shall apply to the Premises
without regard to the Tenant's other locations. 

        (b)    General Description.    Each such policy (and any so-called "umbrella policy" carried by Tenant)
shall name Landlord as additional insured and Tenant as insured and shall be issued by companies licensed to do business in Massachusetts having current A.M. Best and Company ratings of A or
better and financial size rating of class VIII or higher, have deductibles satisfactory to Landlord, and be otherwise satisfactory to Landlord, and with respect to Landlord shall be
noncancellable and not subject to modification without thirty days, prior written notice to Landlord by registered or
certified mail return receipt requested at the same address as herein provided for notices from Tenant to Landlord. Tenant covenants to deliver to Landlord, before the Lease Commencement Date, and
before the commencement of each Lease Year but in any event at least thirty days before the expiration date of any existing policy (and before each renewal thereof), a certificate of insurance for
each policy describing the insurance that will be in effect for such Lease Year, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord, without thereby waiving or limiting any other right or remedy that Landlord may
have, shall have the right but not the obligation to obtain insurance for Tenant and the cost of obtaining such insurance and the premiums therefor shall be other additional rent. If the Initial Lease
Term is extended pursuant to Article 10, the minimum limits of such insurance policies for the Extension Term shall be increased as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time. At any
time, and from time to time, upon Landlord's request, Tenant will forthwith deliver to Landlord a true copy of each such insurance policy. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall require Tenant's
insurance company to explain to Landlord in writing the nature and extent of the coverage and the exclusions, if any, provided by such policy or policies. 

21

 

        (c)    Non-liability.    Neither Landlord nor any of its affiliated or subsidiary corporations, nor their
respective agents, officers, members of governing boards, or employees shall be liable to Tenant or Tenant's agents, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, principals, invitees, contractors,
licensees, trespassers, or persons occupying or using the Premises, or persons claiming by or through any of same, for injury, loss, or damage to person or property (including Tenant's tenant
improvements, betterments, fixtures, equipment, appliances, personal property, and the like) including those resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises, Building or Complex,
except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. If any property of Tenant is entrusted to Landlord or Landlord's agent, such person shall be deemed to be acting as
Tenant's agent. 

        5.1.21.    Subordination.    Tenant covenants that at the request of Landlord from time to time, Tenant shall
subordinate this Lease, and Tenant's rights hereunder, to any mortgage, provided that the holder of such mortgage enters into an SNDA Agreement (as defined below) with Tenant. Upon Landlord's request,
Tenant agrees to enter into an agreement with the holder of any mortgage, on the mortgagee's customary form (an "SNDA
Agreement"). Landlord represents that as of the Date of this Lease, there is no mortgage encumbering the Complex. The SNDA Agreement shall provide that
the holder agrees that, in the event of a foreclosure of the mortgage, by entry or by sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure or the holder or its successors otherwise obtaining possession of, or title to,
the Premises, Tenant, if Tenant is not then in default beyond applicable grace and cure periods with respect to any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant,
shall peaceably hold and enjoy the Premises and enjoy all of its rights hereunder for the remainder of the Lease Term upon the same terms, covenants, and conditions as in this Lease contained and
without hindrance or interruption from such holder, and Tenant agrees, among other things, that in the event of such entry or foreclosure, to recognize such holder or any other person acquiring title
to the Premises as Landlord hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term. The SNDA Agreement shall also provide that no said holder shall be deemed to be the owner of the Complex until said holder
shall have acquired title to the Complex or shall have entered the Complex as mortgagee in possession or for the purposes of foreclosure.

        5.1.25.    Hazardous Materials.    Tenant may use (i) chemicals such as adhesives, lubricants, ink, solvents,

addresses and mitigates reasonable risks that may impact concerns as may be provided by local, state or federal rules, regulations and statutes. If Tenant desires to use Hazardous Materials other than
Permitted Hazardous Materials, or in quantities that exceed the quantities allowed for Permitted Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall obtain the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. Any
handling, treatment, transportation, storage, disposal, or use of Hazardous Materials by Tenant in or about the Premises or the Complex, and Tenant's use of the Premises shall comply with all

or disposal of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises, the Building or the Complex by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, or 

23

 

invitees,
or the violation of any of the Environmental Restrictions by Tenant, or Tenant's agents or employees. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord as soon as reasonably practicable of any

        (d)   After
Tenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, vacates the Premises, and immediately prior to the time that Tenant delivers the Premises to Landlord: 

        (1)   Landlord
may, at Tenant's expense, cause to be performed by a qualified environmental consultant an inspection of the Premises to assess whether the Premises contain any
biological, chemical or radioactive hazards or Hazardous Materials. This inspection may include wastewater conveyance, fume hood exhaust, 

24

 

and
other systems which may be contaminated as a result of activities taking place on the Premises. 

        (2)   If
the inspection is not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, Landlord shall so notify Tenant, indicating the nature of Landlord's dissatisfaction. Tenant shall be
responsible for abating or, at Landlord's election if the Lease Term has expired, paying the cost of abating any condition(s) indicated by Landlord and for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to this
Lease; and 

        (3)   Tenant
shall provide a copy of its most current chemical waste removal manifest and a certification from Tenant, signed by an authorized officer of Tenant, that no
Hazardous Materials, inflammable fluids or chemicals introduced by Tenant remain in the Premises. 

        (e)   Reference
to Tenant in this Section 5.1.25 includes subtenants and assignees, and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant. 

        5.1.25.2.    Existing Environmental Conditions.    Landlord hereby releases Tenant from any liability arising from any
Hazardous Materials that exist in the Complex as of the Lease Commencement Date. 

        5.1.26.    Tenant's Business Name.    Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with prior written notice of any change in
Tenant's Business Name. 

        Section
5.2.    Landlord's Covenants.    

        5.2.1.    Quiet Enjoyment.    Landlord covenants with Tenant that if and so long as there is no Event of Default,
Tenant may quietly hold occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term, subject nonetheless, to all of the provisions, terms, and conditions of this Lease; the easements, encumbrances,
restrictions, and rights referred to in Section 2.2; any Legal Requirements; the Rules and Regulations; and any Insurance Requirements. 

        5.2.2.    Landlord's Default.    Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Lease unless Landlord shall fail to perform such obligations and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty days (or such additional time as is reasonably required to
correct any such default provided that Landlord is diligently pursuing the cure of the same) after written notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of Landlord's alleged
default. In the event of any default by Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease, or to abate or withhold Rent, or to deduct from Rent any amount expended or to be
expended by Tenant to perform any obligation of Landlord hereunder, or to offset or interpose any counterclaim for any amount in any action or proceeding commenced by Landlord with respect to this
Lease or the tenancy created hereunder, but Tenant shall have the right, in the event of a default by Landlord hereunder, to exercise all other remedies available to Tenant, at law or in equity,
because of such default by Landlord. In no event shall Landlord ever be liable to Tenant for any indirect, special, or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever cause. Tenant further
agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure any such default within thirty days of such notice to Landlord (or if such default cannot be cured within said time, then within such additional time
as may be necessary to cure such default), then the holder(s) of any mortgage(s) or the lessor under any ground lease entitled to notice pursuant to Section 5.3 shall have an additional thirty
days within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time following the date that such holder or lessor becomes entitled to cure such
default as may be necessary to cure such default (including commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure). 

25

 

 

        5.2.3.    Landlord's Negligence.    Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord will indemnify Tenant from all
liability and claims for property damage or bodily injury occurring while this Lease is in effect, but only to the extent such injury or property damage was caused by Landlord's negligence, and
provided that Tenant gives Landlord prompt written notice of any such claims. 

        5.2.4.    Landlord's Insurance.    Landlord shall insure the Building against damage or destruction by fire or other
casualties on an "all-risk" of physical loss or damage basis, for full replacement cost value of the Building, with an agreed amount endorsement to satisfy co-insurance
requirements. If President and Fellows of Harvard College ("Harvard"), or any affiliate of, or related entity to Harvard, is the Landlord under this Lease, it shall have no obligation to carry or
maintain such insurance, and may self-insure for all or any portion of the coverages required by this Section 5.2.4. 

        5.2.5.    No Waiver.    Landlord does not waive any liability limitations available to it, whether under M.G.L.
c. 231, Section 85K, or otherwise. 

        Section
5.3.    Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Lessor.    After Tenant has been delivered notice as herein specified
of a mortgage or ground lease covering all or part of the Premises, the Building, or the Complex, no notice from Tenant to Landlord of a default by Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy
of the same is given to the holder of the mortgage or ground lessor at the address specified in the notice delivered by such holder or ground lessor as herein required, as the case may be, and the
curing of any of Landlord's defaults by such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as performance by Landlord. 

ARTICLE 6. TENANT'S DEFAULT.  

        Section 6.1.    Event of Default.    The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an  "Event of Default" under this Lease:

        (a)   if
Tenant shall fail to pay to Landlord when due any payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent and such failure continues for ten days after receipt of notice, provided,
however, that if two such notices are sent to Tenant in any twelve-month period during the Lease Term, thereafter it shall be an Event of Default hereunder if Tenant shall fail to pay when due any
payment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent; 

        or    (b) if
Tenant shall fail to pay to Landlord when due any payment of other additional rent required by this Lease, and such failure continues for fifteen days after
receipt of notice, provided, however, that if two such notices are sent to Tenant in any twelve-month period during the Lease Term, thereafter it shall be an Event of Default hereunder if Tenant shall
fail to pay within fifteen days of when due, any payment of other additional rent required by this Lease; 

        or    (c) if
Tenant shall fail to maintain insurance as required by Sections 5.1.20, or shall fail to renew or reinstate the Letter of Credit as and when required
in Article 7, or shall enter into an Assignment or Subletting in violation of this Lease; 

        or    (d) if
Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any of Tenant's other covenants herein (including the rules and regulations referred to in Section 5.1.6)
(such failure being a "Breach") and such Breach shall continue 

        (i)    for
thirty days after written notice of such failure is given to Tenant, or 

        (ii)   if
more than thirty days are required to correct such failure, than the amount of time reasonably required to correct such failure provided Tenant promptly begins such
correction after Landlord gives written notice of such failure, and Tenant diligently prosecutes the 

26

 

correction
to completion, except that if two or more notices of the same default are sent to Tenant during the Lease Term, thereafter the occurrence of such default shall automatically be deemed an
Event of Default hereunder; 

        or    (e) if
Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any of Tenant's covenants in Section 5.1.25 (such failure being a "Breach") or if Tenant causes or suffers
any release of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises, the Building or the Complex and Tenant fails to remediate such release in compliance with Legal Requirements within thirty days of such
release or such shorter period required by any Governmental Authority; 

        or    (f) if
this Lease or the estate hereby granted or the unexpired balance of the Lease Term should by operation of law or otherwise, be transferred to, devolve upon,
or pass to any person other than Tenant, except as is expressly permitted by the provisions of Section 5.1.8; 

        or    (g) if
the leasehold hereby created shall be taken either by execution arising out of an action against Tenant, or by other process of law; 

        or    (h) if
any assignment shall be made of Tenant's property for the benefit of creditors; 

        or    (i) if
a receiver, guardian, conservator, or similar officer shall be appointed to take charge of all or any part of Tenant's property by a court of competent
jurisdiction; 

        or    (j) if
a petition or proceeding is filed against Tenant by others or is filed by Tenant, or an order for relief is entered with respect to Tenant, under any
provision of the federal Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sections 101-151326 & app., or any similar provisions of any future federal bankruptcy law. 

        6.1.1.    Written Notice of Termination.    If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord may immediately or at any
time thereafter while such Event of Default continues, terminate this Lease by written notice of termination (or notice to quit) to Tenant, without prejudice to any remedies (whether set forth in this
Lease or provided for by law) that might otherwise be used for arrearage of rent, for nonpayment of amounts required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, or for preceding breaches of
covenant, and upon the giving of such notice of termination (or notice to quit), this Lease shall terminate. 

        6.1.2.    Bankruptcy.    In the case of an Event of Default under 6.1(j), this Lease shall be deemed rejected if the
trustee of Tenant shall fail to elect to assume this Lease within sixty days (or the minimum period of time as may be applicable under law or order of the applicable court) after the earlier to occur
of the date of the filing of the petition or the trustee's appointment (as may be applicable). If this Lease is rejected by the trustee of the Tenant or deemed to be rejected, then (i) Landlord
shall immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee, and this Lease shall be deemed terminated without prejudice to any remedies that might
otherwise be used for arrearage of Rent, for nonpayment of amounts required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, or for preceding breaches of covenant, and (ii) Landlord shall
retain the right to be compensated for damages in the bankruptcy proceeding. To be effective, any election by the trustee of Tenant to assume this Lease must be in writing and addressed to Landlord
using the address set forth in Section 8.12 and be accompanied by the trustee's commercially adequate assurance to Landlord of the future performance and continuous performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that the trustee first shall cure all defaults of Tenant under this Lease and compensate all persons other than Landlord who have incurred or suffered
pecuniary losses due to Tenant's default under this Lease before the trustee's assumption of this Lease shall be effective. 

        Section
6.2.    Tenant's Obligations After Termination.    Tenant covenants that, in case of termination of this Lease
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6, or in case of termination under the provisions 

27

 

of
statute by reason of the default of Tenant, Tenant will be obligated to pay and perform all of the obligations described in (a), (b), and (c) below, and Landlord shall have the right to
elect to receive from Tenant either the Fixed Damages or alternatively, the Incurred Loss; but if Landlord elects to receive the Incurred Loss payments, Landlord shall have the right at any time
thereafter during the Lease Term to elect to receive instead Fixed Damages with respect to the remainder of the Lease Term, and in any event, Landlord may elect that Tenant quit the Building. Landlord
shall make such election within one year after the termination of this Lease. 

        (a)    Fixed Damages.    If Landlord by notice to Tenant so elects, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord as damages
("Fixed Damages") a sum equal to the amount (calculated on a present value basis using the Prime Rate as the discount rate) by which the Basic Rent and
other payments called for in this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term exceed the fair rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term. 

        (b)    Incurred Loss.    If Landlord by notice to Tenant so elects, Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord on the Rent
Payment Day an amount (the "Incurred Loss") equal to (i) the Rent to be paid under this Lease less (ii) the sum of any rent collected from
Landlord's reletting less the Reletting Expenses. The "Reletting Expenses" shall include reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, brokerage fees, and
the reasonable cost and expense of putting the Premises into good order and preparing the Premises for
rental. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord during the remainder of the Lease Term against all Incurred Loss suffered and expenses, however caused, incurred by Landlord by reason of the termination of
this Lease. The Incurred Loss occurring during each calendar month during the remainder of the Lease Term shall be due from Tenant to Landlord on the next Rent Payment Day. 

        (c)    Surrender of Premises.    If Landlord by notice to Tenant elects that Tenant shall quit the Premises, then
Tenant shall quit and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord and remove Tenant's goods and effects and yield up the Premises in accordance with Section 5.1.4 and Section 5.1.25.1
within five days after the date of termination of this Lease. Landlord may upon, or at any time after any such termination, without further notice and without prejudice to any other rights and
remedies that Landlord may have at law or in equity, (1) enter the Premises and possess itself thereof, by summary proceedings or otherwise, (2) dispossess Tenant and remove Tenant and
all other persons and property from the Premises, and thereafter, Landlord may have, hold, and enjoy the Premises, and the right to receive all rental income of and from the same; but, notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord as provided in this Lease, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord under this Section 6.2(c). 

        6.2.1.    Evidence of Value.    If the Premises or any part thereof are relet by Landlord before presentation of proof
of liquidated damages to any court commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be prima facie evidence of the fair rental value for the part or the whole of the
Premises so relet during the term of the reletting. 

        Section
6.3.    Other Matters Relating to Termination.    

        6.3.1.    Landlord's Right to Relet.    At any time or from time to time after any termination or Landlord's reentry
pursuant to this Article 6, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the
period that would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) as Landlord, in its reasonable election, may determine,
and Landlord may collect and receive the rents therefor. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any
rent due upon any such reletting. If Landlord is Harvard, Landlord may, at its election, relet all or any portion of the Premises to Harvard's school or departments, and 

28

 

there
shall be credited against the Rent to be paid under this Lease, an amount representing the rental value of the relet space less the Reletting Expenses. 

        6.3.2.    Landlord's Other Remedies.    Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to
prove and obtain as damages by reason of such termination, 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, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred to above. 

        6.3.3.    Right to Equitable Relief.    Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin an Event of Default and shall have the
right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease. 

        6.3.4.    Landlord's Right To Cure Tenant's Default.    If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord shall have the
right, but shall not be obligated, to enter upon the Premises, if necessary, and to cure such Event of Default. In performing such cure, Landlord may make any reasonable payment of money or perform
any other reasonable act. Landlord may, in the event of danger to person or property, the threat of cancellation of insurance, or other emergency, exercise its right of self-help under
this Section with only such notice of default, oral or written, as is practicable in the circumstances, notwithstanding a requirement, if any, for notice of default in any other context. The aggregate
of (i) all sums so paid by Landlord (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), (ii) interest (at the Involuntary Rate) on such sum, and (iii) all necessary incidental costs
and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be other additional rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable to Landlord promptly upon demand.
Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. 

ARTICLE 7. LETTER OF CREDIT.  

        Section 7.1.    Definitions.    In this Article 7, the following definitions apply: 

        
"Original Amount" means $100,000.00 being the face amount of the original Letter of Credit. 

         
"Letter of Credit" means the original Letter of Credit, and any substitute, replacement, or additional letter of credit. 

        Section
7.2.    Requirements of Letter of Credit, Amount, Form.    Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease,
Tenant shall deliver to and deposit with Landlord an irrevocable, unconditional, absolutely "clean" Letter of Credit in the face amount equal to the Original Amount running to Landlord as the sole
beneficiary. The Letter of Credit shall be in the form of the letter of credit attached hereto as Exhibit C, or in any form substantially similar as may
be satisfactory to Landlord. Any Letter of Credit shall have a stated duration of and shall be effective for at least one year with provision for automatic successive annual one-year
extensions for the Initial Lease Term (and any renewal term or extension term) and for sixty days thereafter. The Letter of Credit shall be automatically transferable without the issuer's consent, and
at no charge to Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as other additional rent, the amount of any fees charged by the issuer in connection with a transfer of the Letter of Credit. Tenant shall keep
the Letter of Credit in force throughout the Lease Term and for sixty days after the Lease Expiration Date or the earlier termination of the Lease Term, except that if such earlier termination is
based on Tenant's default, Tenant shall keep the Letter of Credit in force until one hundred eighty days after the termination of the Lease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a renewal Letter of Credit
no later than thirty days prior to the expiration date of any Letter of Credit issued under this Article 7, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may draw the entire amount of the expiring
Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds in cash for the same purposes as the 

29

 

Letter
of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Boston commercial bank (or other bank satisfactory to and approved by Landlord) that has capital assets of at least $250,000,000 and capital
reserves of at least $7,000,000, and that is a member of the Federal Reserve System. In no event will the Letter of Credit be deemed to be either prepaid rent or a measure of liquidated damages. 

        Section
7.3.    Decrease in Amount of Letter of Credit.    During each of the second, third, fourth and fifth Lease
Years, Landlord will, within thirty days of its receipt of Tenant's Financial Statement for such Lease Year (pursuant to Section 5.1.14), determine if Tenant has satisfied the Reduction
Conditions (as defined below), and if Landlord so determines that the Reduction Conditions have been satisfied, Landlord shall promptly send a notice to Tenant stating that the Letter of Credit is
eligible for reduction pursuant to the terms of this Article 7 (the "Reduction Notice"). The Reduction Notice will also state the amount that the Letter of Credit may be reduced to as
determined below. Within thirty days of Tenant's receipt of a Reduction Notice (the "Reduction Period"), Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, deliver an amendment to the Letter of Credit reducing
the face amount of the Letter of Credit (and Landlord shall join in any reasonable documents as necessary) as follows: 

        (A)  During
the second Lease Year, the face amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced to $80,000.00. 

        (B)  During
the third Lease Year, the face amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced to $64,000.00. 

        (C)  During
the fourth Lease Year, the face amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced to $51,200.00. 

        (D)  During
the fifth Lease Year, the face amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced to $40,960.00. 

30

 

 

        7.3.1.    "Reduction Conditions"    means the satisfaction of both of the following
conditions: 

        (A)  The
most recent Tenant's Financial Statement evidences that Tenant is "financially sound" which shall mean that given Tenant's then current cash position, and then
current burn rate, Tenant shall have enough cash on hand to pay the Basic Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term. 

        (B)  Tenant
is in compliance with the terms of the Lease at the time of any proposed reduction of the Letter of Credit, and there is no Breach and no Event of Default under
the Lease continuing at the time of reduction and there has been no monetary Event of Default under the Lease. 

        7.3.2.    Amendment to Letter of Credit.    Any such amendment reducing the face amount of the Letter of Credit shall
be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant fails to deliver an amendment reducing the face amount of the Letter of Credit on or before the expiration of a Reduction Period, Tenant shall
forfeit its option to reduce the Letter of Credit in accordance with such Reduction Notice. 

        Section
7.4.    Landlord's Rights Upon an Event of Default.    If, and as soon as, there shall exist an Event of
Default under this Lease (and on the occasion of each Event of Default if there shall be more than one), Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit at any time and from time to time in such amount or
amounts as may be necessary to cure the default or to reimburse Landlord for any sum(s) that Landlord may have spent to cure the default(s) and if Landlord has terminated this Lease for Tenant's
default(s), Landlord may also draw upon the Letter of Credit in such amount (or all) as may be necessary to obtain any amounts from time to time owed to Landlord by Tenant after termination under
Article 6 or otherwise. In the case of each such drawing (except a drawing occurring after termination or expiration of this Lease), Tenant shall, immediately upon Landlord's demand, cause the
Letter of Credit to be reinstated to the full amount that was required by this Lease prior to the drawings, or cause a similar Letter of Credit, aggregating said full amount, to be issued to Landlord.
Landlord shall have the right, in the Event of Default by Tenant, to draw on all of the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof to be applied from time to time against Fixed Damages, Incurred
Losses (as described in Section 6.2), and other costs arising under Section 6.2(c). If at the end of the Lease
Term, Tenant is in compliance with the terms of this Lease, the Letter of Credit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant, but not otherwise. 

ARTICLE 8. GENERAL MATTERS.  

        Section 8.1.    Condition of Premises.    TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TENANT IS TAKING THE PREMISES IN ITS
STRICTLY "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" CONDITION. LANDLORD DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF SUITABILITY OF THE PREMISES FOR USE BY TENANT. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to the Tenant in
"broom clean" condition. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the condition of the Premises, the fitness of the Premises for any
particular use, the exact floor area of the Premises (whether in rentable square feet, usable square feet, or some other measure), or the likelihood or ability of Tenant to obtain any required
Authorizations. No variations of the condition of the Premises from Tenant's expectations, nor any unfitness of the Premises for any particular use nor any inability or failure of Tenant to obtain the
Authorizations, shall entitle Tenant to refuse to accept the Premises, or to quit, terminate, or surrender this Lease, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to pay the Rent in full without offset or
counterclaim, or from any of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease. The initial work to be performed by Tenant to prepare the Premises for Tenant's occupancy is set forth in the attached  Exhibit F. 

31

 

        Section
8.2.    Casualty and Eminent Domain.    

        8.2.1.    Casualty, Partial Taking.    During the Lease Term, 

        (a)   if,
in Landlord's opinion, the Building or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other cause to the extent that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the
Building shall be required, or 

        (b)   if,
in Landlord's opinion, title to, convenient access to, or use of either the Building or the Premises, shall be taken or condemned in any eminent domain,
condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or like
proceeding by any Governmental Authority or conveyed under the threat thereof, for any public or quasi public use or purpose (collectively hereinafter called a  "Taking"), 

then
in any such event this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated ninety days after such event, unless Landlord, by notice given by Landlord to Tenant within such ninety-day period,
elects not to terminate this Lease. Whether or not Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to receive directly from the Insurer (or the Taking authority) all insurance
proceeds (or Taking proceeds) resulting from or related to the casualty (or the Taking). 

        8.2.2.    Total Taking/Partial Taking.    If the entire Premises shall be the subject of a Taking, this Lease shall
terminate and the effective date of termination shall be the earlier to occur of (i) the date when physical possession of the Premises is taken by the Taking authority or (ii) the date
that Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises is legally prohibited by final action of the Taking authority. If a portion of the Premises shall be the subject of a Taking, and the Taking
(i) renders the Premises no longer suitable for Tenant's conduct of its business, (ii) materially impairs access to the Premises, or (iii) materially reduces Tenant's Share of
Parking Spaces, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice given to Landlord within ninety days of the Taking. 

        8.2.3.    Restoration, Tenant's Right to Terminate.    If this Lease is not terminated under Section 8.2.1 or
Section 8.2.2, Landlord shall use due diligence to restore the Premises, or, in case of partial Taking, what may remain thereof using compensation awarded to Landlord by the Taking authority,
(but Landlord shall not be obligated to restore any alterations, improvements or equipment installed or paid for by Tenant or that Tenant may be required or permitted to remove), to the condition
existing prior to the casualty or Taking; provided, however, that if Landlord has not restored the Premises within nine months from the occurrence of the damage (or the effective date of the Taking),
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within thirty days after the expiration of such nine-month period. Any such termination shall be effective
thirty days after delivery of Tenant's notice of termination, unless Landlord substantially completes the work before the end of such thirty-day period, in which case Tenant's notice of
termination shall be void. During such restoration, a just proportion of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent as determined in Landlord's reasonable opinion considering the nature and extent of the
damage or Taking, shall be abated. In the event of a Taking, if less than all of the Premises are restored, a just proportion of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent, similarly determined in Landlord's
reasonable opinion, shall be abated for the remainder of the Lease Term. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any
way from such damage or Taking or the repair or restoration thereof. Landlord's obligations hereunder to restore shall be subject to Landlord's ability to obtain materials or to install the same
strikes, labor difficulties, shortages of labor, or any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control. If during the last twelve months of the Lease Term, (i) the Building is materially damaged by
fire or other casualty, or (ii) a Taking occurs, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within thirty days of such fire, casualty, or Taking. 

32

 

        8.2.4.    Landlord's Right to Damages.    Landlord reserves, and Tenant hereby releases and grants to Landlord, all
rights to damages arising from any Taking, except for damages specifically awarded to Tenant by the Taking authority. Tenant reserves its right to seek a separate award from the Taking authority for
Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and relocation expenses. 

        Section
8.3.    Access to Premises; Landlord's Right to Repair and Alter.    

        8.3.1.    Viewing, Inspecting, Repairing.    Landlord and Landlord's agents shall have the right, without charge to
Landlord and without reduction in Rent, from time to time, at reasonable times after reasonable notice and to the extent practicable (and in an emergency, at any time), to enter to view the Premises,
to inspect the Premises, to make such repairs to the Premises or the Building, the Structural Components, Building Systems or Reserved Facilities as Landlord elects, and to perform environmental site
inspections or soil investigations, or to inspect or repair utilities, if any, located in, beneath, above, or adjacent to the Premises. Landlord will to the extent practicable, exercise its rights
under this Section 8.3.1 in a manner designed to avoid undue interference with the Premises and Tenant's use thereof. 

        8.3.2.    Landlord Alterations, Pest Extermination.    Landlord reserves the right, exercisable by Landlord or its
agents or nominees, at any time and from time to time, at reasonable times after reasonable notice without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability
to Tenant therefor or otherwise affecting Tenant's obligations under this Lease, to make (whether or not required by a safety, insurance, or Governmental Authority, or otherwise) such changes,
alterations, additions, improvements, repairs, renovations, or replacements in or to the Building and the Premises and the fixtures and equipment thereof, as well as in or to the Building Systems,
Structural Components, Reserved Facilities and the Common Facilities, as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or desirable, and to install in the Premises (and Landlord may thereafter use, maintain,
repair, renovate, relocate, and replace), pipes, ducts, wires, conduits, meters, fixtures, supporting columns, and other installations generally, and to change the arrangement or location of
entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other parts of the Building, the Reserved Facilities or any of the Common Facilities. Landlord agrees to exercise all
such reserved rights, to the extent practicable, in a manner designed to avoid undue interference with Tenant's use of the Premises. Nothing contained in this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to
relieve Tenant of any duty, obligation, or liability of Tenant with respect to making any repair, replacement, renovation or improvement or complying with any law, order, or requirements of any
governmental or other authority, that would otherwise expressly be the duty or liability of Tenant. Landlord reserves the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times after reasonable notice to
exterminate insects, rodents, and other pests, and otherwise perform pest control measures, and Landlord will, to the extent practicable, do so in a manner designed to avoid undue interference with
the Premises and Tenant's use thereof. 

        8.3.3.    Right to Remove Certain Items and Improvements.    Landlord may remove, at Tenant's expense (which expense
shall be other additional rent), alterations, additions, signs, awnings, aerials, flagpoles, or the like installed by Tenant, and not consented to in writing by Landlord. 

        8.3.4.    Right to Affix "For Rent" Sign.    Landlord may at reasonable times and after reasonable notice show the
Premises to prospective purchasers, tenants, and mortgagees (but only during the last six months of the Lease Term with respect to prospective tenants) and may keep affixed to any suitable part of the
exterior of the Building a notice for letting during the nine months preceding the expiration of the Lease Term. 

        8.3.5.    Right to Modify Complex.    Landlord expressly reserves the right at any time (a) to add, modify,
expand, remove, diminish, reduce, relocate or reconfigure the building(s), vehicle parking areas and other common areas and Common Facilities of the Complex, including the location and dimensions of
and exits and entrances to any common areas, or to any buildings in the Complex, 

33

 

including,
the Building, provided that Landlord agrees not to reduce Tenant's Share of Parking Spaces and Landlord will to the extent practicable, do so in a manner designed to avoid undue
interference with the Premises and Tenant's use thereof.; (b) to add or remove parcels of real property to the area of the Complex; provided, however, that reasonable access to the Building
shall not be materially impaired; (c) to rename the Complex or any of the buildings, including the Building, and to change the address of any of the buildings in the Complex, including the
Building; and (d) to convert any of the buildings (other than the Building) in the Complex to residential purposes or to construct residential housing in the Complex. 

        Section
8.4.    Amendment, Severability.    Neither this Lease nor any provision thereof may be changed, waived,
discharged, or terminated orally, but only by an instrument clearly designated an amendment, duly executed by the party against which the enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge, or termination
is sought. This Lease (including without limitation the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit F) supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and constitutes the complete agreement and understanding between the parties. There are no oral statements or oral agreements
modifying or otherwise affecting the subject matter of this Lease. If any one or more of the provisions of this Lease or of the Lease Rider or of any Exhibit is finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. 

        Section
8.5.    Cumulative Effect.    Any and all rights, powers, and remedies that either Landlord or Tenant may have
under this Lease, at law, in equity and by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of the same may be exercised at the same
time. 

        Section
8.6.    Estoppel Certificates.    

        (A)  Tenant
shall, from time to time, within twenty days after a written request by Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord a so-called "estoppel certificate,"
in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, as to the status of (i) this Lease, (ii) Rent and other payments due hereunder, (iii) defaults hereunder, (iv) any claims or
counterclaims, defenses, or offsets that Tenant may have, and (v) all other matters reasonably required by any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee or prospective purchaser, and such matters as
Landlord may reasonably request; and any such certificate may be relied upon by Landlord, any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Building, any party proposing to acquire any other interest in
or with respect to the Building or the Complex, and by any other person to whom the certificate is addressed. Tenant acknowledges that time is of the essence to the delivery of such certificates, and
that Tenant's delay, failure or refusal to deliver such certificates may cause substantial damages resulting from, for example, delays in obtaining financing or selling the Complex, and therefore
Tenant's failure to deliver such an estoppel certificate within twenty days after Landlord's written request shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. 

        (B)  Landlord
shall, from time to time, within twenty days after a request by Tenant, execute and deliver to Tenant, a so-called "estoppel certificate" in form
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord as to the status of only the following: (i) the Lease; (ii) Rent and other payments due hereunder; and (iii) any notices of default sent by
Landlord to Tenant; and any such certificate signed by Landlord may be relied upon by Tenant, and any person to whom the certificate is exhibited or delivered. Landlord agrees to execute, upon
Tenant's request, waivers and/or consent agreements from Tenant's lender(s) in connection with financing and leasing of Tenant's equipment, provided that any such agreements are reasonably acceptable
to Landlord. 

        Section
8.7.    Brokers.    Tenant and Landlord each warrants and represents to the other that it has not dealt with
any brokers other than the Brokers in connection with this transaction. In the event of any brokerage claims against Landlord (excluding claims made by the Brokers) or Tenant predicated on 

34

 

prior
dealings by the other party hereto with the maker of such claims, the party alleged to have had such prior dealings shall defend, indemnify, and hold the other party harmless against all loss
and expense incurred by it. Landlord shall be responsible for any brokerage commission payable to the Brokers pursuant to a separate agreement. 

        Section
8.8.    When Lease is Binding on Landlord.    Neither the submission of this Lease by Landlord to Tenant, nor
Tenant's execution and delivery thereof to Landlord, nor any communications to date between Landlord and Tenant, whether oral or written, shall constitute, or evidence, any agreement on Landlord's
part or confer any rights on Tenant. The form of transmittal letter as attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be used by Tenant to transmit to
Landlord the Lease after it has been executed and acknowledged by Tenant, together with all authorizations, certificates of insurance, and other certificates referred to in  Exhibit B. Landlord is
to be bound to Tenant with respect to this Lease and the Premises only if and when Landlord delivers to Tenant a copy of
this Lease executed by Landlord, and Tenant has delivered to Landlord, and Landlord has accepted the Letter of Credit. 

        Section
8.9.    Transfer of Complex.    If in connection with or as a consequence of the sale, transfer, or other
disposition of the Complex (or the Building, either or both, as the case may be), Landlord ceases to be the owner of the reversionary interest in the Premises, Landlord shall thereafter be entirely
freed and relieved from the performance and observance thereafter of all covenants and obligations hereunder on the part of Landlord to be performed and observed, it being understood and agreed in
such event (and it shall be deemed and construed as a covenant running with the land) that the person succeeding to Landlord's ownership of said reversionary interest (the "Transferee") shall
thereupon and thereafter assume, perform, and observe, any and all of such covenants and obligations of Landlord. Landlord covenants and agrees to provide the Transferee with notice of the existence
of this Lease prior to any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Complex or the Building. 

        Section
8.10.    Holding Over.    If Tenant occupies (or claims the right to occupy) the Premises or any portion of
the Premises after the Lease Expiration Date (or earlier termination of this Lease) without having entered into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord, Tenant shall be a
tenant-at-sufferance only, shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and shall pay as use and occupation each month an amount equal to one and
one-half times the monthly Rent payments in effect for the last full calendar month preceding the Lease Expiration Date (or the date of earlier termination). Such a holding over, even if
with the consent of Landlord, shall not constitute a tenancy at will or an extension or renewal of this Lease, and shall not diminish or affect Landlord's right to recover possession of the Premises
by self help, re-entry by summary proceedings or otherwise, the provisions of this Lease, judicial process, or otherwise. Tenant shall save Landlord harmless and will exonerate, defend,
and indemnify Landlord from and against any and all damages that Landlord suffers on account of Tenant's holding over in the Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this
Lease. 

        Section
8.11.    Captions; Rules of Construction.    The captions in this Lease are for convenience of reference only
and shall not define or limit the contents of this Lease nor be used in construing this Lease. Unless repugnant to the context, the words "Landlord" and "Tenant" appearing herein shall be construed to
refer to the person or persons, natural or corporate, named above as Landlord or as Tenant, as the case may be, and the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assignees of such person or
persons and those claiming through or under them or any of them. If Tenant consists of more than one person, the obligations of all such persons as Tenant are joint and several. References to an
Article, include all Sections of the Article; references to a Section (e.g., Section 6.1) include all subsections (e.g., 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3) thereof. Wherever in this Lease it is
provided that Landlord's consent or approval is required, Landlord shall have the right to withhold such consent or approval arbitrarily unless otherwise specifically provided to the contrary. In this
Lease (a) the use of the terms "include," "includes," or "including" means "include without limitation," "includes without limitation," or "including without limitation," respectively, as the
case may be; (b) the word "or" is used in its 

35

 

inclusive
sense, i.e., when the word "or" is used in this Lease to describe a result occasioned by the occurrence of any of multiple specified events or conditions, the result shall also be
occasioned by the occurrence of more than one of the events or conditions, unless the context otherwise indicates; (c) "may" is used in the permissive sense, creates discretionary authority,
and does not impose a duty; (d) "shall" is used in the imperative sense and imposes a duty; (e) a statement or definition followed by a listing of examples shall not invoke  ejusdem generis,
i.e., the examples are descriptive only and shall not limit the generality of the statement or definition; and (f) where
a general category is described by specific examples introduced by "including," the listing of the specific examples shall not be interpreted to be exhaustive. 

        Section
8.12.    Notices.    Unless otherwise specified herein, any notice or demand to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and signed by the party or the party's attorney and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered, if delivered by hand, or (b) two calendar days after it is mailed, if
mailed by U.S. mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (c) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service
(e.g., Federal Express) provided that evidence of delivery is obtained, addressed in each such case as follows:

Attention: Paul Jakubowski, Esq. 

        By
such notice, either party or such party's attorney may specify a new address, which thereafter shall be used for subsequent notices. Any mailed notice by certified or registered mail
shall be deemed 

36

 

mailed
on the date of postmark of the mailing of the same. Service by constable showing delivery to the address stated above of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall also be an acceptable
method of giving notice. Notice may also be given by a sheriff or constable in the same manner as provided under the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure for the service of process. 

        Section
8.13.    No Waiver, No Exhaustion of Rights.    No consent or waiver, express or implied, by either Landlord
or Tenant, to or of any breach of any covenant, condition, or duty of the other party, shall be construed as a consent to or waiver of any other breach of the same or any other covenant, condition, or
duty. No consent or waiver by either Landlord or Tenant to any breach of any covenant, condition, or duty of the other party shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the
non-breaching party. If for any reason Landlord consents to or acquiesces to an act of or request of Tenant that is prohibited, restricted, or governed by law or this Lease, the exercise
of the right (or acquiescence) shall not exhaust the right; rather, Landlord shall continue to have, enjoy, and be able repeatedly and from time to time to exercise (or withhold exercise of) its
rights to give or withhold consents to, or to prohibit, as the case may be, similar acts or requests including the right to prohibit Assignment and Subletting. Landlord's failure to enforce any of the
rules and regulations against Tenant or any other tenant or occupant of the Building or Complex shall not be deemed a waiver of the rules and regulations or right to enforce same. The delivery of keys
to Landlord shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. No act by Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance or a surrender of the
Premises, except for a written agreement that is clearly designated an acceptance of surrender of the Premises, duly executed by the authorized officers of Landlord. 

        Section
8.14.    Representative Capacity.    The obligations of parties hereto shall run with the land and be binding
upon their respective successors and assigns. In the event of any transfer of title to the Complex or the Building by Landlord, Landlord shall thereafter be released from the performance and
observance of all covenants and obligations under this Lease occurring after the date of such transfer. None of Landlord's agents, managers, partners, trustees, stockholders, officers, members of a
governing board, directors, employees, or beneficiaries of Landlord shall be personally liable under this Lease nor shall any of their assets be subject to levy, execution, or other enforcement
procedure for the satisfaction of the Tenant's remedies arising under this Lease or in connection with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's interest in the
Premises for satisfaction of any liability of Landlord under this Lease. 

37

 

  
        Section 8.15.    No Invalidity.    If any term of this Lease, or the application thereof to any persons or
circumstances, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease or the application of such term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

        Section
8.16.    No Recording.    Tenant shall not record this Lease. 

        Section
8.17.    Time to Commence Actions; No Jury Trial.    Any claim, demand, right, or defense by Tenant that
arises out of this Lease or the negotiations that preceded this Lease shall be barred unless Tenant commences an action thereon, or interposes a defense by reason thereof, within one year after the
date of the inaction, omission, event, or action that gave rise to such claim, demand, right, or defense. Tenant waives all right to a jury trial in any proceeding brought by Landlord for possession
of the Premises, non-payment of rent, or other default by Tenant under this Lease. 

        Section
8.18.    Landlord's Right to Erect Obstructions.    Landlord reserves the right to erect any gate, chain or
obstruction to close off any portion of the Building and the Complex to the public at any time and to the extent necessary to prevent dedication thereof to public use or to prevent an acquisition of
private rights and easements by prescription or adverse possession. Landlord will to the extent practicable exercise its rights under this Section 8.18 in a manner designed to avoid undue
interference with the Premises and Tenant's use thereof. 

        Section
8.19.    Effect of Unavoidable Delays.    If either party to this Lease, as the result of any
(i) strikes, lockouts, or labor disputes; (ii) inability to obtain labor or materials, or reasonable substitutes therefor; (iii) acts of God, governmental action, condemnation,
civil commotion, fire, or other casualty, (iv) trouble in obtaining fuel, electricity, water, sewer, or telecommunication services or supplies from sources from which they are usually obtained
for the Building; or (v) other conditions similar to those enumerated in this Section beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, fails to perform
punctually any obligation on its part to be performed under this Lease (collectively, "Force Majeure"), then such failure shall be excused and not be a breach of this Lease by the party in question,
but only to the extent occasioned by such event. If any right or option of either party to take any action under or with respect to this Lease is conditioned upon the same being exercised within any
prescribed period of time or at or before a named date then such prescribed period of time and such named date shall be deemed to be extended or delayed, as the case may be, for a period equal to the
period of the delay occasioned by any event described above. The provisions of this Section 8.19 shall not be applicable to Tenant's obligation to pay Rent, subject to the provisions of
Section 9.2.2. 

        Section
8.20.    No Representations or Inducements.    In entering into this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is
not relying on any representations, agreements, or promises of Landlord, or any inducements offered by Landlord to Tenant, not expressly set forth in this Lease. 

        Section
8.21.    Formalities of Execution.    This Lease is executed in multiple counterpart copies, each being deemed
an original and all of which shall be deemed to constitute one instrument, to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to take effect as a SEALED
INSTRUMENT. 

        Section
8.22.    Community Outreach Agreement.    Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is obligated, under a certain
affirmative community outreach agreement by and between Landlord and Watertown Arsenal Development Corporation ("WADC") dated as of the first day of December, 1998, to cause every person and entity
conducting a business located in whole or in part in or on the Complex to make reasonable efforts, in employing persons for such business, to give equal opportunity to residents of Watertown,
Massachusetts. Tenant agrees to make known to Landlord any employment opportunities within Tenant's business at the Premises (to the extent that such job openings are not being filled from 

38

 

within
the Tenant's business), and authorizes Landlord to advertise those employment opportunities, such that residents of Watertown, Massachusetts will be aware of, and can make application to be
considered for, such employment opportunities. Tenant also agrees that if the Tenant advertises any such employment opportunities in any trade publication or in any newspaper, that Tenant shall also
concurrently advertise such positions in a similar form, content and size in at least one newspaper based in Watertown with a general circulation throughout Watertown. 

ARTICLE 9. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.  

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Lease, the provisions in this Article 9 shall be applicable. 

        Section
9.1.    Services to the Premises.    If Landlord is required under this Lease to provide or furnish services
or utilities to the Premises, such obligation to be binding on Landlord must be set forth in this Article 9 or specifically elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord shall not be under any duty to
supply or continue at any time any heat, light, electricity, water, gas, janitor, or other services to the Premises or the Building, except as may be expressly agreed herein. All charges for utility
or other services under this Article 9, except to the extent included in Additional Rent under Section 3.2, shall be deemed other additional rent. 

        Section
9.2.    Electricity.    Tenant shall pay all charges for its use of electricity in the Premises. Electricity
will be provided to the Premises in accordance with the Base Specifications attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Base Building
Specifications"). The Building is separately metered for electricity, and Tenant shall pay all electricity charges for the Building directly to the applicable service provider.
Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall maintain the metering equipment. 

        9.2.1.    Replacement Lamps/Bulbs.    Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense and upon Tenant's request, shall
purchase and install all replacement lamps of types generally commercially available (including, but not limited to, incandescent and fluorescent) and used in the Premises. Tenant, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, shall purchase and install all other replacement bulbs used in the Premises. 

        9.2.2.    Selection of Power Providers/Interruption of Utility Service.    If permitted by Legal Requirements,
Landlord shall have the right, exercisable solely by Landlord but at any time and from time to time while this Lease is in effect, to select and contract with (and change) such provider of electric
service ("Power Provider") as Landlord deems appropriate to provide electric power to the Premises, and in connection therewith, Landlord, the
applicable electric utility company, and any such Power Provider, shall have the right of reasonable access to the Premises to install, maintain, or change such apparatus and appurtenances thereto as
are needed in connection with the provision of electric power to the Premises by such Power Provider or the applicable electric utility company. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Landlord shall
not be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain by reason of any change, failure, interference, disruption, or defect in the supply or character of the electric
energy or any other utility or service furnished to the Premises, or if the quantity or character of the electric energy supplied by the applicable Power Provider or electric utility company is no
longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements, and no such change, failure, interference, disruption, defect, unavailability, or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive
eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that if 

        (i)    the
electrical or water that Landlord is required hereunder to provide to Tenant is interrupted, and such interruption is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, and 

39

 

        (ii)   such
interruption renders a substantial portion of the Premises unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant's business operations therein in accordance with the
provisions of this Lease, and Tenant, in fact, ceases to conduct its business in such substantial portion of the Premises, and 

        (iii)  Tenant
promptly gives written notice to Landlord of the existence of such interruption of service ("Tenant's Outage
Notice"), and 

        (iv)  Such
service is not restored within five Business Days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Outage Notice, subject to the provisions of Section 8.19 hereof
("Outage Notice Period"), and 

        (v)   such
substantial portion of the Premises remains unusable for the normal conduct of Tenant's business operations in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, and
Tenant, in fact, does not conduct its business in such substantial portion of the Premises for the entire Outage Notice Period, 

then
Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent, in an amount proportionate to the portion of the Premises so rendered unusable, for the period commencing on the day following the expiration of
the Outage Notice Period, and continuing until such service is restored to the Premises or the portion thereof that was so rendered unusable. Except as set forth in this Section 9.2.2, Landlord
shall not in any way be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur if the quantity, character, or supply of electrical energy as stated in the
Base Building Specifications subsequently becomes no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements. 

        9.2.3.    Alterations to Electrical Equipment.    Tenant will not make any material alteration or material addition to
the electrical equipment or appliances in the Premises that would adversely affect any Building Systems or electrical equipment without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, and will
promptly advise Landlord of any other alteration or addition to such electrical equipment and/or appliances. 

        9.2.4.    Additional Electricity Requirements.    If Tenant shall subsequently require electric current for use in the
Premises in excess of the capacity set forth in the Base Building Specifications, and if in Landlord's reasonable judgment, (i) Landlord's facilities are inadequate for such excess
requirements, or (ii) such excess use shall result in an additional burden on the Building air conditioning systems and additional cost to Landlord on account thereof then, as the case may be,
Landlord, upon written request and at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, will furnish and install such additional wire, conduits, feeders, switchboards, and appurtenances as reasonably may be
required to supply such additional requirements of Tenant if current therefor is available to Landlord, provided that the same (v) shall be permitted by Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements, (w) shall not cause damage to the Building or the Premises, (x) shall not cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition, (y) shall not entail excessive or
unreasonable alterations or repairs, and (z) shall not materially interfere with or disturb other tenants
or occupants of the Complex. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such additional cost within thirty days of demand therefor. 

        Section
9.3.    Water.    Landlord will provide to the Premises hot water for lavatory purposes only, and cold water
for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes only. The Building is separately metered for water and sewer. Tenant shall pay the full amount of all water and sewer charges for the Building before the
same become due either (i) directly to the Landlord or (ii) to the Town of Watertown, at Landlord's discretion. 

40

 

        Section
9.4.    Heat, Air Conditioning, Cleaning.    

        9.4.1.    Heating, Venting and Air Conditioning.    Heating, venting, and air conditioning ("HVAC") will be provided
to the Premises in accordance with the Base Building Specifications. Tenant shall have control over the thermostat regulating the HVAC equipment servicing the Premises, and commencing on the Lease
Commencement Date, Tenant shall be responsible for payment of all charges for HVAC service to the Premises directly to the utility service providers. 

        9.4.2.    Cleaning.    Commencing on the Occupancy Date, Landlord shall cause the portions of the Premises used for
offices to be cleaned Monday through Friday. Tenant shall be responsible at Tenant's sole cost and expense for cleaning all portions of the Premises not used for office purposes. Except as specified
in Exhibit H, the cleaning standards generally prevailing in first-class combination office/laboratory buildings in the Town of Watertown, shall
represent substantially the extent and scope of the cleaning to be provided by Landlord pursuant to this Section 9.4.2. 

        Section
9.5.    Common Area Maintenance/Repairs.    Subject to Tenant's obligations in Section 5.1.2, Landlord
shall keep and maintain the Structural Components, the Building Systems and Common Facilities of the Complex in good order, condition and repair to include, but not limited to, landscaping of outdoor
common areas of the Complex, and snow and ice removal from the access roads, driveways, parking areas, and pedestrian sidewalks located within the Complex. Landlord shall keep and maintain the
Existing HVAC System in good order so that it operates sufficiently to provide HVAC service to the portion of the Premises used for offices. All costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the
foregoing, and in connection with complying with Legal Requirements that are not Tenant's obligations, shall be included in Complex Operating Costs or Building Operating Costs, as applicable, to the
extent provided in Sections 3.2.2, 3.2.3 and 3.2.4. Landlord shall not be responsible for making any improvements or repairs to the Building or the Complex other than as expressly set forth in
this Section 9.5, or as expressly provided otherwise in this Lease. Landlord shall never be liable for any failure to make repairs that Landlord has undertaken to make under the provisions of
this Section 9.5 or elsewhere in this Lease, unless Tenant has given notice to Landlord of the need to make such
repairs, and Landlord has failed to commence to make such repairs within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, or fails to proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs. Only a
Governmental Authority (and not Tenant) shall have the right to compel Landlord to comply with a Legal Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord covenants and
agrees that the Existing HVAC System and the Structural Components will be in good working order as of the Lease Commencement Date, and any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in complying with
the forgoing covenant shall not be included in Building Operating Costs. 

        Section
9.6.    Energy Conservation.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord may
institute upon written notice to Tenant such policies, programs, and measures as may be necessary or required or expedient for the conservation or preservation of energy or energy services
(collectively, the "Conservation Program"), provided however, subject to Legal Requirements, that the Conservation Program does not, by reason of such
policies, programs, and measures, reduce the level of energy or energy services being provided to the Premises immediately prior to the institution of such policy, program, and/or measure. Upon
receipt of such notice, Tenant shall comply with the Conservation Program. 

        Section
9.7.    Premises Population.    Other than parking, all services provided by Landlord to Tenant are based upon
an assumed maximum Premises population (i.e., occupancy) of one person per 150 rentable square feet of the Premises, which limit Tenant shall in no event exceed. Tenant acknowledges that if it
exceeds the foregoing limitation, Landlord may incur costs including, without limitation, additional costs due to the additional load on Building Systems. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for the
amount of such additional costs (if any), as reasonably determined by Landlord, due to a Premises population that is in excess of the foregoing maximum. 

41

 

        Section
9.8.    Security.    Landlord shall provide security services to the Complex. Security is currently provided
from 3:00 p.m.—7:00 a.m. during Business Days and 24 hours a day on non-Business Days. Tenant shall be responsible for the security of the Premises, and
for any security system that it may choose, as its sole expense, to install therein in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for damage to property of Tenant in
the Premises or for injury to persons except to the extent such damage or injury is caused by the negligence of Landlord. 

        Section
9.9.    Loading Docks.    Tenant shall have exclusive use of the Building's loading docks. Tenant's use of the
loading docks shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and regulations. 

        Section
9.10.    Signage.    Landlord shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, provide Tenant with one exterior
building sign. The location and design of the sign shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), and shall be consistent with the Complex's standard signage and

ARTICLE 10. OPTION TO EXTEND LEASE TERM.  

        Section 10.1.    Tenant's Option to Extend.    On the conditions (which conditions Landlord may in its sole
discretion waive by notice to Tenant at any time) that (i) Tenant is in compliance with the terms of this Lease and no Event of Default exists, and (ii) Tenant is occupying at least 80%
of the Building, in the case of each such condition both as of the time of the exercise of the Tenant's rights in this Article 10 and as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Term,
Tenant shall have the option to extend this Lease for each Extension Term. Tenant may exercise its Option with respect to each Extension Term by giving written notice
("Extension Notice") to Landlord at least six months before the Lease Expiration Date. Time shall be of the essence in this Article 10. 

        Section
10.2.    Determination of Rent for the Extension Term.    The Basic Rent for each Extension Term shall be
equal to the greater of the following: 

        (i)    the
amount of the Basic Rent for the last year of the preceding Lease Term; or 

        (ii)   95%
of the Market Rent. 

The
term "Market Rent" shall mean the fair market rental value of the Premises for each Lease Year of the Extension Term calculated as of the
commencement of the Extension Term, based on the length of such Extension Term, and the value of similar office space in the Complex and in the Waltham, Newton, Watertown and W. Cambridge area, and
after adjustment for the then current operating expenses, additional rent, real estate taxes, and other amounts payable by Tenant, the condition of the Building and the Complex, and the governing
provisions of this Lease, Market Rent shall be calculated on the then "as-is" condition of the Premises assuming the Building will be used for office space (but excluding any mezzanine
level and any laboratory improvements constructed by Tenant). The Market Rent shall be determined as follows: 

        (a)   Landlord
shall reasonably determine Market Rent and shall set forth its determination in a notice given to Tenant within sixty days after Tenant gives the Extension
Notice. 

        (b)   If
Tenant accepts Landlord's determination, Tenant shall give Landlord a notice stating Tenant's acceptance within thirty days of receipt of Landlord's notice sent in
Section 10.2(a) (an "Acceptance Notice"). If Tenant in good faith disagrees with Landlord's determination, Tenant shall within thirty days after
the receipt of Landlord's notice give Landlord written notice of Tenant's disagreement with Landlord's determination, detailing Tenant's basis for disagreement. If Tenant fails to give Landlord a
notice during such thirty-day period, it shall be deemed that Tenant irrevocably accepted Landlord's determination. 

42

 

        (c)   In
the event that Tenant gives such notice of disagreement, and Landlord and Tenant do not resolve by negotiation the Market Rent within thirty days after Tenant gives
said notice of disagreement, the Market Rent shall be determined by appraisal as provided below. 

        (d)   If
Market Rent is to be determined by appraisal, then within ten days after the expiration of the thirty-day negotiation period referred to in
Section 10.2(c), Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint as an appraiser a real estate appraiser experienced in appraising space similar to the Premises in the market or neighborhood area of the
Premises, and give notice of such appointment to the other party. If either Landlord or Tenant shall not so appoint such an appraiser, then the appointed appraiser shall select the second appraiser
within ten days after the failure of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, to appoint. Such two appraisers shall, within thirty days after the appointment of the latter of them to be appointed
complete their determination of the Market Rent based on the standards set forth in this Section 10.2, and submit their appraisal reports simultaneously in writing to each of Landlord and
Tenant. If their valuations vary by five percent or less from their arithmetic average, the Market Rent shall be the arithmetic average of the two valuations. If the valuations vary by more than five
percent from their arithmetic average, the two appraisers shall, within ten days after submission of the last submitted appraisal report, appoint a third appraiser who shall be similarly qualified. If
the two appraisers are unable to agree timely on the selection of the third appraiser, then either appraiser, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the President of the Boston Bar
Association. Within thirty days after the appointment of the third appraiser, the third appraiser shall determine Market Rent and give notice to Landlord and Tenant of such determination together with
a copy of the appraisal report. The Market Rent shall be as determined by the third appraiser, (y) unless it is less than the valuation set forth in the lower of the first two appraisals
previously obtained, in which case the valuation set forth in the lower appraisals shall be controlling, or (z) unless it is greater than the valuation set forth in the higher of the first two
appraisals previously obtained, in which case the valuation set forth in the higher of the first two appraisals shall be controlling. 

        (e)   If
the three appraisers have not established the Market Rent before the Lease Expiration Date, then the Basic Rent for the first Lease Year of the Extension Term shall
be calculated under clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 10.2, until the Market Rate is determined by the appraisers, and then the
parties shall adjust for over or under-payments within ten days after notice of the decision of the appraisers finally establishing the Market Rent is given to Tenant and Landlord. 

        Section
10.3.    Costs and Expenses.    Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fees of their respective appraisers and
the fees of the third appraiser shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant; provided, however, that if the Market Rent as finally determined is more than ten
percent above the lower appraisal previously obtained, the fees of all appraisers shall be borne by the party appointing the appraiser responsible for the lower appraisal, and if the Market Rent as
finally determined is more than ten percent below the higher appraisal previously obtained, the fees of all appraisers shall be borne by the party appointing the appraiser responsible for the higher
appraisal. 

        Section
10.4.    Continuation of Terms and Conditions.    All of the terms, covenants, and agreements contained in
this Lease shall continue during each Extension Term, except that the Basic Rent shall be as set forth in Section 10.2. 

        Section
10.5.    Definition.    If this Lease is extended as provided herein, the phrase "Lease Expiration Date" shall
mean the last day of the applicable Extension Term. 

        IN ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE, TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TENANT IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, AGREEMENTS, INDUCEMENTS, OR PROMISES OF LANDLORD NOT EXPRESSLY
SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE.

RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR TENANTS 

[Capitalized
terms herein have the meanings set forth in Tenant's Lease]. 

Introduction  

        The following rules and regulations have been formulated for the safety and well-being of all tenants and to ensure
compliance with all governmental, insurance, and other requirements. Strict adherence to these rules and regulations is necessary so that each and every tenant will enjoy a safe and unannoyed
occupancy in their respective premises in accordance with their lease. It should be apparent that in some cases some of the rules and regulations will be by their terms inapplicable to a specific
building or to a specific tenant's premises, and in these cases these rules and regulations shall be interpreted by reference to the specific circumstances involved. 

        Landlord
reserves the right to reasonably amend or rescind, from time to time, any of these rules and regulations and to make such other and further reasonable rules and regulations as
in its judgment shall, from time to time, be required for the safety, protection, care, and cleanliness of the buildings and the Complex, the operation thereof, the preservation of good order therein,
and the protection and comfort of the tenants and their agents, employees, and invitees. Such rules and regulations need not be uniform for all tenants in a building, and Landlord is under no
obligation to enforce any of the rules and regulations or to enforce any of them uniformly, provided, however, that Landlord shall endeavor to enforce the rules and regulations in a
non-discriminatory manner. Such rules and regulations, when made, amended, or rescinded and written notice thereof is given to a tenant, shall be binding upon the tenant. If President and
Fellows of Harvard College ("Harvard"), or
any affiliate of, or related entity to Harvard, occupy any portion of the Complex they shall not be deemed "tenants" for purposes of these Rules and Regulations. 

        Landlord
may, upon request by any tenant waive compliance by such tenant to any of these rules and regulations, provided that (a) no waiver shall be effective unless in writing
and signed by Landlord, (b) any such waiver shall not relieve such tenant from the obligation to comply with such rule or regulation in the future unless expressly consented to by Landlord,
(c) no waiver granted to any tenant shall relieve any other tenant from the obligation of complying with the rules and regulations unless such other tenant has received a similar waiver in
writing from Landlord, and (d) any such waiver by Landlord shall not relieve the tenant from any obligation or liability of tenant to Landlord pursuant to the Lease for any loss or damage
occasioned as a result of the Tenant's failure to comply with any such rule or regulation. 

        To
the extent of any inconsistencies between these rules and regulations and any rules and regulations hereafter promulgated and the terms of the Lease, the express terms of the Lease
shall govern. 

Specific Rules and Regulations  

        1.     The
sidewalks, driveways, entrances, passages, courts, elevators, vestibules, stairways, corridors, halls, fire escapes, or other parts of the Complex or the buildings
not occupied by any tenant shall not be obstructed by any tenant or used for any purpose other than ingress and egress to and from the tenant's premises. Landlord shall have the right to control and
operate the public portions of the Complex and the buildings and the facilities furnished for common use of the tenants in such manner as Landlord deems best for the benefit of the tenants generally.
No tenant shall permit the visit to the tenant's premises (or to other premises or to any space in the buildings) of persons in such numbers or under such conditions as to interfere with the use and
enjoyment by other tenants of the entrances, corridors, elevators, and other public portions or facilities of the building. 

        2.     No
awnings, signs, or other projections shall be attached to the outside walls of the building without the prior written consent of Landlord. No drapes, blinds, shades,
or screens shall be attached 

 

to
or hung in, or used in connection with, any window or door of a tenant's premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such awnings,
projections, curtains, blinds, shades, screens or other fixtures must be of a quality, type, design, and color, and attached in the manner, approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. No tenant
shall throw anything out of the doors or windows or down the corridors, stairs, or air shafts. 

        3.     No
showcases or other articles shall be put outside, in front of, or affixed to any part of the exterior of the building, nor placed in the halls, corridors, or
vestibules without the prior written consent of Landlord. 

        4.     The
water, toilets, wash closets, and other plumbing fixtures shall not be used for any purposes other than those for which they were constructed, and no sweepings,
rubbish, cooking oils, grease, cleaning solvents, rags, chemicals, paints, cleaning fluids, or other substances shall be put therein. All fines, penalties, and damages resulting from any misuse of the
fixtures shall be borne by the tenant who, or whose servants, employees, agents, visitors, or licensees, shall have caused the same, and Landlord in no case shall be responsible therefor. 

        5.     There
shall be no marking, painting, drilling into, or in any way defacing the building or any part of tenant's premises visible from public areas of the building.
Tenants shall not construct, maintain, use, or operate within the tenant's premises any electrical device, wiring, or apparatus in connection with a loud speaker system or other sound or alarm system
except as reasonably required for its communication or security system and approved by Landlord before the installation thereof. The tenant shall bear all costs and pay all fines in connection with
any malfunctioning system. If in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, the system becomes a nuisance or creates an unreasonable disturbance, the tenant shall promptly remedy or remove same as Landlord
may request. No such loud speaker or sound system shall be constructed, maintained, used, or operated outside of tenant's premises. 

        6.     No
bicycles, vehicles, or animals, birds, or pets of any kind (except for seeing-eye dogs) shall be brought into or kept in or about public areas, common
areas of the building, or a tenant's premises and no cooking shall be done or permitted by any tenant in the tenant's premises, except, tenants may heat or reheat foodstuff in microwave or toaster
ovens located within a tenant's premises. Tenants shall not cause or permit any unusual or objectionable odors to be produced upon or permeate from the tenant's premises. 

        7.     No
space in the building shall be used by a tenant for manufacturing of goods for sale in the ordinary course of business, for the storage in bulk of merchandise or for
the sale at auction of merchandise, goods, or property of any kind. 

        8.     No
tenant shall unreasonably disturb or interfere with occupants of the building or neighboring buildings or premises or those having business with them whether by the
use of any musical instrument, radio, talking machine, unmusical noise, whistling, singing, or in any other way. 

        9.     No
flammable, combustible, radioactive, infectious, or explosive fluid, chemical, or substance shall be brought or kept upon a tenant's premises. 

        10.   No
additional locks or bolts of any kind shall be placed upon any of the doors or windows by any tenant, nor shall any changes by made in existing locks or the mechanism
thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord. All locks for doors in tenant's premises shall be "building standard." If a tenant desires to change the existing locks or the mechanism thereof,
the tenant shall first obtain the approval of Landlord and then shall provide copies of the keys to such new or changed locks to Landlord immediately upon installing such new locks or changing the
mechanism of existing locks. All requests for duplicate keys shall be made through Landlord and charged to tenant. The doors leading to the corridors or main halls shall be kept closed during business
hours except as they may be used for ingress or egress. Corridor doors, when not in use, shall be kept closed. Tenants shall, and shall cause their employees to, lock the doors to the tenant's
premises as tenant and tenant's employees leave at

the
end of each working day and after ordinary business hours, ascertain that the doors of the building by which it and they leave are locked securely. Each tenant shall, upon the termination of its
tenancy, restore to Landlord all keys of stores, offices, storage, and toilet rooms either furnished to or otherwise procured by such tenant. In the event of the loss of any keys so furnished, such
tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost thereof. 

        11.   Landlord
reserves the right to inspect all freight to be brought into the building and to exclude from the building all freight that violates any of these rules and
regulations. 

        12.   No
tenant shall pay any employees on the tenant's premises, except those actually working for such tenant on the tenant's premises. 

        13.   Landlord
reserves the right to exclude from the building at all times any person who is not known or does not give proper and satisfactory identification to the Complex
or building management. Tenants will comply with any reasonable measures instituted for the security of the building, which may include the signing in or out in a register in the building lobby after
hours and on weekends and holidays. Each tenant shall be responsible for all persons for whom it authorizes entry into or exit out of the Complex or the building, and shall be liable to Landlord for
all acts or omissions of such persons. 

        14.   A
tenant's premises shall not, at any time, be used for lodging or sleeping or for any immoral or illegal purpose. 

        15.   Each
tenant, before closing and leaving its premises at any time, shall see that all windows are closed and all lights other than emergency lights and security lights

areas specifically leased to a tenant or otherwise expressly designated for the tenant's use. 

        21.   No
tenant shall place any sign or advertising notice in any part of the building or any part of the Complex except as approved by Landlord, or use any advertising or
take any other action that in Landlord's judgment might tend to affect adversely the reputation of the Complex or the building and its desirability as a building for laboratory space and offices.

including requests related to Tenant's proposed use of the Premises; 

        (ii)   the
General Contractor, Architect or Engineer's failure to respond in a timely manner to any requests made by the Town of Watertown during the Building Permit Period
for additional information or for revisions to Tenant's Plans, 

        The

corresponding extension of the Building Permit Period as a result of such delay. 

        2.5    Building Permit Termination Rights.

Lease by delivery of a notice of termination to Tenant at any time thereafter, and the lease termination date shall be the date that is ten days after Tenant's receipt of the termination notice.

the termination notice (the "Effective Termination Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Building Permit is issued at any point on or before the Effective Termination Date, the termination of
this Lease shall be automatically null and void. 

        If
the Lease is terminated for any reason, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the Permit Costs. The remedy set forth in this Section is Tenant's sole and exclusive right and
remedy based upon any delay in the obtaining of the Building Permit. 

        2.6    Rent Commencement Date Acceleration.    For purposes of calculating the Rent Commencement Date, the date the

performance of, such construction work. Landlord shall have the right to inspect such 

construction

On
the conditions (which conditions Landlord may in its sole discretion waive by notice to Tenant at any time) that (i) Tenant is in compliance with the terms of this Lease and no Event of
Default exists, and (ii) Tenant is occupying at least 80% of the Expansion Premises, in the case of each such condition both as of the time of the exercise of the Tenant's rights in this
Section 5 and as of the commencement of the Expansion Premises Extension Term, Tenant shall have the option to extend this Lease for one Expansion Premises Extension Term. Tenant may exercise
its Expansion Premises option with respect to the Expansion Premises Extension Term by giving written notice ("Expansion Premises Extension
Notice") to Landlord at least nine months before the Expansion Premises Lease Expiration Date. Time shall be of the essence in this Section 5.
The Basic Rent for the Expansion Premises Extension Term shall be equal to the greater of the following: 

          (i)  the
amount of the Expansion Premises Basic Rent for the third Lease Year of the Lease Term with respect to the Expansion Premises, or 

         (ii)  95%
of the Market Rent (as defined in Article 10 of the Lease). 

If
the Lease is extended as provided in this Section 5, the phrase "Expansion Premises Lease Expiration Date" shall mean the last day of the Expansion Premises Extension Term. 

        5.    Notice of Available Space in the Building.    Landlord, without incurring any liability
and without representing that it will in all or any case do so, will endeavor to inform the Tenant named in Section 1.1 of the Lease of the availability of the space in Building 312 that is not
subject to any superior rights of other tenants in Building 312 and that Landlord intends to rent to third parties (the "Available Space"). The
Available Space shall not be deemed to be available until Landlord (i) enters into lease(s) for the Available Space; (ii) determines that the tenant(s) under such lease(s) will vacate
the Available Space; and (iii) intends to offer such space for lease. 

        If
and when Landlord so informs Tenant, it shall not be an offer to lease the Available Space to Tenant, and Tenant shall have no rights to lease or use the Available Space. Landlord is
free to lease and grant occupancy rights in the Available Space to anyone at its sole discretion regardless of whether Landlord has informed or notified Tenant. Tenant shall have no claim against
Landlord under this Section 6, including any claim that Landlord either intentionally or negligently failed to provide Tenant with any information or notice, and Tenant, for itself and its
successors and assigns and all persons claiming by through or under Tenant, hereby irrevocably waives any and all such claims. 

        6.    Letter of Credit.    Simultaneously with the execution of this First Amendment, Tenant
shall deliver to and deposit with Landlord a letter of credit in the original face amount of $65,250.00 to be held in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2 and 7.4 of the Lease. 

        7.    Signage.    Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, include Tenant's name
on the common directory sign in the interior lobby of Building 312, to be consistent with building standard signage. 

        8.    Broker.    Tenant and Landlord each warrants and represents to the other that it has not
dealt with any broker other than T3 Realty Advisors LLC ("T3") and Beal and Company, Inc.
("Beal" and, together with T3, the "Brokers") in connection with this First Amendment. In the event of
any brokerage claims against Landlord (excluding claims made by either of the Brokers) or Tenant predicated on prior dealings by the other party hereto with the maker of such claims, the party alleged
to have had such prior dealings shall defend, indemnify, and hold the other party harmless against all loss and expense incurred by it (including reasonable attorneys' fees). Landlord shall be
responsible for any brokerage commission payable to the Brokers pursuant to separate agreements. 

        9.    Ratification.    Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the Lease shall remain
in full force and effect, and as further modified by this Amendment, is expressly ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto. 

4

 

        10.    Miscellaneous.    This Amendment (i) contains the entire agreement with respect
to the subject matter hereof; (ii) may not be modified or terminated, nor may any provision hereof be waived, orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties
hereto or their respective successors, and assigns; and (iii) shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto, and their successors, and assigns, subject to the
provisions of the Lease regarding assignment and subletting. Any termination of the Lease shall also terminate and render void all rights of Tenant under this Amendment. Tenant's rights under this
Amendment may not be severed from the Lease or separately sold, separately assigned, or separately transferred. 

        11.    Applicable Law.    This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 

        12.    Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which
individually shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute a single original agreement.

reasonably necessary displacement of any of Landlord's Work from its place in Landlord's construction schedule resulting from any of the causes for
delay referred to in this paragraph (a) and the fitting of such Landlord's Work back into such schedule; 

        (b)   If
a delay in the Substantial Completion Date, or if any substantial portion of such delay, is the result of Force Majeure, and such Force Majeure delay would not have
occurred but for a delay described in paragraph (a), such Force Majeure delay shall be added to the delay described in paragraph (a) to the extent it extends beyond the Outside Work
Completion Date. 

         
Tenant's Work:    The installation of Tenant's personal property, including furniture and furnishings, as well as the installation of telephone and data cabling and
wiring in the Expansion Premises. 

        
Total Cost of Landlord's Work:    The total cost incurred by Landlord in connection with the performance of Landlord's Work, including, without limitation:
(i) general construction costs; (ii) mechanical, electrical and plumbing work; (iii) engineering fees (items (i) through (iii) are herein collectively referred to as
the "Hard Costs" and are more particularly set forth on  Schedule C attached hereto);
(iv) architectural fees;
and (v) a construction management fee to Beal & Co., Inc. in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Hard Costs. 

        2.    Performance of Landlord's Work.    Landlord agrees to perform Landlord's Work and
Landlord's Base Building Work prior to the Outside Work Completion Date in a good and workmanlike manner, substantially in accordance with (i) the Plans and Specifications with respect to the
Landlord's Work and (ii) the scope of work attached hereto as Schedule A with respect to the Landlord's Base Building Work, and, in both
cases, in accordance with applicable law. Landlord shall have no obligation to do any work or make any installation or alteration of any kind to the Premises except for Landlord's Work and the
Landlord's Base Building Work. All Landlord's Work and Landlord's Base Building Work shall be part of Building 312 and shall not be removed. Upon the Substantial Completion Date, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant the Rent Commencement Date Notice. Landlord agrees to perform the Landlord's Work at Landlord's cost and expense up to the Landlord's Contribution and subject to Section 3
below. Landlord agrees to perform the Landlord's Base Building Work at Landlord's sole costs and expense. Landlord, or Landlord's agent, and Contractor shall enter into an Abbreviated Standard Form of
Agreement Between Owner and Contractor for Construction Projects of limited Scope where the basis for payment is a stipulated sum, in substantially the form attached hereto as  Schedule D (the
"Contract"), which Contract shall
include the following language: "Article 3.4. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the sum of the cost of the performance of the Contractor's work under the Contract (the  "Contract Sum") is guaranteed by the Contractor not to exceed Three Hundred Eighty-Nine
Thousand Nine Hundred Forty Dollars ($389,940.00), subject only to Tenant Change Orders". Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, if, for any reason, the Contract Sum
exceeds Three Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Forty Dollars ($389,940.00) and such excess is not a result of Tenant Change Orders, Landlord shall, on behalf of Tenant, pursue any
claims which Landlord may have against the Contractor. 

        3.    Changes to Landlord's Work.    Landlord shall incorporate into Landlord's Work such
reasonable changes to the Plans and Specifications as Tenant may from time to time request in writing on 

2

 

Contractor's
standard change order form prior to the completion of the Landlord's Work (the "Tenant Change
Orders"), provided that Landlord may condition such changes on Tenant's agreement to bear any extra cost or risk of delay thereby incurred. Without
limiting the foregoing, Landlord's consent to such changes may be conditioned upon Tenant's agreement that the requested change will constitute a Tenant Delay. 

        4.    Reconciliation of the Total Cost of Landlord's Work.    Within 30 days after the
Substantial Completion Date, if the Total Cost of Landlord's Work exceeds Landlord's Contribution, Landlord will provide Tenant with a statement detailing the Total Cost of Landlord's Work (the  "Actual Cost Statement"). Within 15 days of Tenant's receipt of the Actual Cost Statement, if the
Total Cost of Landlord's Work exceeds the Landlord's Contribution, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the difference between the Total Cost of Landlord's Work and the Landlord's Contribution. 

        5.    Performance of Tenant's Work.    Tenant shall be responsible for performance of Tenant's
Work, at its sole cost and expense. Tenant's Work may occur prior to the Substantial Completion Date, and shall be coordinated with any work being performed by Landlord in such manner as to maintain
reasonably harmonious labor relations, and so as not to cause any delay in Landlord's Work or damage the Building. Tenant's Work shall remain the property of Tenant and shall be removed upon the
Expiration Date. 

        6.    Conclusiveness of Landlord's Performance.    Tenant shall be entitled to inspect
Landlord's Work as of the Substantial Completion Date. Tenant shall have no claim that Landlord has failed to perform any of Landlord's Work, except to the extent that Tenant provides Landlord with
notice no later than 30 days after the Substantial Completion Date specifying any deficiency in Landlord's Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing,
(i) Landlord shall require the Contractor to provide a one year warranty from the Substantial Completion Date with respect to the Landlord's Work, and (ii) if, during the term of such
warranty, Tenant notifies Landlord of any latent defects or defects which could not be discovered until a change of season, Landlord shall, on behalf of Tenant, pursue any claims which Landlord may
have against the Contractor under such warranty with respect to the Landlord's Work. 

        7.    Notice.    Any notice required to be given pursuant to the provisions of this  Exhibit B shall be given in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Lease.
