EXHIBIT 10.2

ARKANSAS BEST CORPORATION

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

(Employees)

     This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of this
___ day of             , 20___ (the “Grant Date”), and is between
Arkansas Best Corporation (the “Company”) and               (“Participant”).

     WHEREAS, the Company, by action of the Board and approval of its shareholders established the
Arkansas Best Corporation 2005 Ownership Incentive Plan (the “Plan”);

     WHEREAS, Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary and the Company desires to
encourage Participant to own Common Stock for the purposes stated in Section 1 of the Plan;

     WHEREAS, Participant and the Company have entered into this Agreement to govern the terms of
the Restricted Stock Unit Award (as defined below) granted to Participant by the Company.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions

     Defined terms in the Plan shall have the same meaning in this Agreement, except where the
context otherwise requires.

2. Grant of Restricted Stock Units

     On the Grant Date, the Company hereby grants to Participant an Award of ____ Restricted Stock
Units (the “Award”) in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement and the Plan (as amended from time to time). Each Restricted Stock
Unit subject to the Award represents the right to receive one Share (as adjusted from time to time
pursuant to Paragraph 14 hereof and/or Section 13 of the Plan) upon the terms and subject to the
conditions (including the vesting conditions) set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. By
accepting the Award, Participant irrevocably agrees on behalf of Participant and Participant’s
successors and permitted assigns to all of the terms and conditions of the Award as set forth in or
pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan (as such Plan may be amended from time to time).

 

 

3. Vesting; Payment

     (a) The Award shall not be vested as of the Grant Date and shall be forfeitable unless and
until otherwise vested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. After the Grant Date, provided
that Participant remains continuously employed by the Company through the fifth anniversary of the
Grant Date (the “Normal Vesting Date”), the Award shall become vested with respect to 100%
of the Restricted Stock Units on such Normal Vesting Date. In addition, prior to the Normal
Vesting Date:

          (i) the Award shall become vested with respect to 100% of the Restricted Stock Units on the
date Participant first satisfies the requirements for Normal Retirement, as defined below, whether
or not his actual retirement or separation from service has occurred on that date, and

          (ii) on the first date on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date on which
Participant satisfies the requirements for Early Retirement, as defined below, whether or not
actual retirement or separation from service has occurred on that date, the Award shall become
vested with respect to the number of the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award multiplied by
a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of full months between such date and
the Grant Date, and (B) the denominator of which is 60, and the Award shall continue to vest on the
fifteenth day of each subsequent month with respect to an additional one-sixtieth of the number of
the Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award until the first day of the month in which the
Normal Vesting Date occurs. In the month that the Normal Vesting Date occurs, all Units not
previously vested shall become vested on the date of the month that corresponds to the Grant Date.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Normal Retirement” shall mean Participant’s
retirement from active employment by or service with the Company or any Subsidiary on or after age
65.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Early Retirement” shall mean Participant’s
retirement from active employment by or service with the Company or any Subsidiary on or after age
55 or greater, so long as Participant has, as of the date of such retirement, at least 10 years of
service with the Company or any Subsidiary.

Restricted Stock Units that have vested and are no longer subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture are referred to herein as “Vested Units.” Restricted Stock Units that are not
vested and generally remain subject to forfeiture are referred to herein as “Unvested
Units.”

     (b) The vesting period of the Award set forth in Paragraph 3(a) may be adjusted by the
Committee to reflect the decreased level of employment during any period in which Participant is on
an approved leave of absence or is employed on a less than full time basis. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 3, the Award shall be subject to earlier acceleration of
vesting and/or forfeiture and transfer as provided in this Agreement and the Plan. In no event may
any adjustment under this paragraph delay the Settlement Date for any Award beyond the Normal
Vesting Date or Separation of Service if earlier.

2

 

     (c) Subject to Paragraph 3(d) below, on the Normal Vesting Date, or, if earlier, the date
Participant’s employment with the Company terminates on or after he satisfied the requirements for
accelerated vesting by virtue of qualifying for Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, other than
any termination for Cause (as defined below), Participant shall be entitled to received one Share
(subject to adjustment under Section 13 of the Plan) for each Vested Unit in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The Company will transfer such Shares to
Participant or Participant’s designee subject to (i) Participant’s satisfaction of any required tax
withholding obligations as set forth in Paragraph 7 and (ii) the restrictions, if any, imposed by
the Company pursuant to Paragraph 15(f) or otherwise pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Plan and this Agreement.

     (d) The date upon which Shares are to be issued under Paragraph 3(c) is referred to as the
“Settlement Date.” The issuance of the Shares hereunder may be effected by the issuance of
a stock certificate, recording shares on the stock records of the Company or by crediting shares in
an account established on the Participant’s behalf with a brokerage firm or other custodian, in
each case as determined by the Company. Fractional shares will not be issued pursuant to the
Award.

     Notwithstanding the above, prior to a Change in Control (i) for administrative or other
reasons, the Company may from time to time temporarily suspend the issuance of Shares in respect of
earned Vested Units, (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares during any
period when the Company determines that the delivery of Shares hereunder would violate any federal,
state or other applicable laws, and (iii) the date on which shares are issued hereunder may include
a delay in order to provide the Company such time as it determines appropriate to address tax
withholding and other administrative matters. Any delay pursuant to 3(d)(ii) shall only be until
such time that the Company determines that the delivery of shares would no longer violate any
federal, state or other applicable law. Notwithstanding the delay for administrative or other
reasons provided for in clauses (i) and (iii) above, in no event will such issuance of shares be
delayed beyond the later of the end of the calendar year or the 15th day of the third
month after the month in which the Settlement Date occurs, or such other time as permitted under
Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder without the imposition of any additional
taxes under Section 409A of the Code.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement
shall be construed or deemed to be amended as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section
409A of the Code to avoid the imposition of any additional or accelerated taxes or other penalties
under Section 409A of the Code. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code applicable to the Plan, and this Agreement and shall
interpret the terms of the Plan and this Agreement consistently therewith. Under no circumstances,
however, shall the Company have any liability under the Plan or this Agreement for any taxes,
penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement,
including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A of the Code.

3

 

4. Status of Participant

     Except as set forth in Paragraph 5, Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder
(including, without limitation, any voting rights with respect to the Shares subject to the Award)
with respect to either the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder or the Shares underlying the
Restricted Stock Units, unless and until such Shares are issued in respect of Vested Units, and
then only to the extent of such issued Shares.

5. Dividend Equivalents

     From and after the Grant Date and unless and until the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited or
otherwise transferred back to the Company, Participant will be entitled to receive cash payments
(subject to applicable withholding taxes) equal to all dividends and other distributions paid with
respect to the Shares subject to this Award, which dividend equivalent payments shall be paid on or
about the date such dividends or other distributions are payable to public stockholders, subject to
any applicable tax withholding requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such dividend
equivalents will be paid with respect to any dividend or other distribution declared by the Company
in connection with which the Award is adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 14 hereof and/or Section 13 of
the Plan. For avoidance of doubt, this ineligibility for a dividend equivalent will apply only to
the actual stock dividend in question (in the year of such distribution), and shall not adversely
affect the ability to receive subsequent regular cash dividends on the Award as so adjusted.

6. Effect of Termination of Employment; Change in Control

     (a) General. Except as provided in Paragraphs 6(c) or (d), upon a termination of
Participant’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason, the Unvested Units
shall be forfeited by Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of
any consideration to Participant.

     (b) Cause. Upon a termination of Participant’s employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary for Cause (as defined below), all Vested Units and Unvested Units shall be forfeited by
Participant and cancelled and surrendered to the Company without payment of any consideration to
Participant.

     (c) Death; Disability. Upon a termination of Participant’s employment with the
Company or any Subsidiary by reason of Participant’s death or Disability all Unvested Units shall
vest as of the date of such termination of service and be issued as soon as administratively
possible. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean a condition
under which Participant either (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result
in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months, or (ii)
is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to
result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months,
receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident
and health plan covering employees of the Company.

4

 

     (d) Change in Control. Upon a termination of Participant’s employment with the
Company or any Subsidiary by the Company or any Subsidiary without Cause (as defined below) or by
Participant for Good Reason (as defined below), in either case, within the 24-month period
immediately following a Change in Control, all Unvested Units shall vest as of the date of such
termination of employment and be issued as soon as administratively possible. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean (i) Participant’s gross misconduct or fraud in the
performance of Participant’s duties to the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) Participant’s conviction
or guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere with respect to any felony or act of moral turpitude;
(iii) Participant’s engaging in any material act of theft or material misappropriation of Company
property or (iv) Participant’s breach of the Company’s Code of Conduct as such code may be revised
from time to time. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean (i)
any material and adverse diminution in Participant’s title, duties, or responsibilities; (ii) a
reduction in Participant’s base salary or employee benefits (including reducing Participant’s level
of participation or target bonus award opportunity in the Company’s incentive compensation plans)
or (iii) a relocation of Participant’s principal place of employment of more than 50 miles without
the prior consent of Participant.

     (e) Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
with respect to any amounts that the Company determines to be deferred compensation within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, if the Company determines that as of the Settlement Date
Participant is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code), any
such Shares to be issued to Participant on a Settlement Date that occurs by reason of Participant’s
termination of employment with the Company other by reason of Participant’s death or Disability
will not be issued to Participant until the date that is six months following the Settlement Date
(or such earlier time permitted under Section 409A of the Code without the imposition of any
accelerated or additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code).

7. Withholding and Disposition of Shares

     (a) Generally. Participant is liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection
with the Award, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any tax withholding
obligations that arise in connection with the Award. The Company does not make any representation
or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or
vesting of the Award or the subsequent sale of Shares issuable pursuant to the Award. The Company
does not commit and is under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate
Participant’s tax liability.

     (b) Payment of Withholding Taxes. Prior to any event in connection with the Award
that the Company determines may result in any domestic or foreign minimum statutory tax withholding
obligation (i.e. federal, state, OASDI and HI and/or local) (the “Tax Withholding
Obligation”), Participant is required to arrange for the satisfaction of the amount of such Tax
Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Company. Participant and the Company agree
that tax withholding required as a result of cash dividend equivalents and/or periodic vesting will
be handled at the Company’s option by payroll deduction.

          (i) By Withholding Shares. Unless Participant elects to satisfy the Tax Withholding
Obligation by an alternative means in accordance with Paragraph 7(b)(ii), that

5

 

occurs at the Settlement Date, Participant’s acceptance of this Award constitutes
Participant’s instruction and authorization to the Company to withhold on Participant’s behalf the
number of Shares from those Shares issuable to Participant as a result of the occurrence of a
Settlement Date as the Company determines to be sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding
Obligation.

          (ii) By Other Payment. At any time not less than five (5) business days before any
Tax Withholding Obligation arising as a result of the Settlement Date, Participant may notify the
Company of Participant’s election to pay Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation by wire transfer,
cashier’s check or other means permitted by the Company. In such case, Participant shall satisfy
his or her tax withholding obligation by paying to the Company on such date as it shall specify an
amount that the Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the expected Tax Withholding Obligation
by (i) wire transfer to such account as the Company may direct, (ii) delivery of a cashier’s check
payable to the Company, Attn: Executive Benefits, at the address set forth in Paragraph 15(a), or
such other address as the Company may from time to time direct, or (iii) such other means as the
Company may establish or permit. Participant agrees and acknowledges that prior to the date the
Tax Withholding Obligation arises, the Company will be required to estimate the amount of the Tax
Withholding Obligation and accordingly may require the amount paid to the Company under this
Paragraph 7(b)(ii) to be more than the minimum amount that may actually be due and that, if
Participant has not delivered payment of a sufficient amount to the Company to satisfy the Tax
Withholding Obligation (regardless of whether as a result of the Company underestimating the
required payment or Participant failing to timely make the required payment), the additional Tax
Withholding Obligation amounts shall be satisfied in the manner specified in Paragraph 7(b)(i).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Tax Withholding Obligation that arises on a
date other than a Settlement Date may only be satisfied pursuant to this Paragraph 7(b)(ii).

8. Excess Parachute Payments

     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any of the payments in respect
of this Award, together with any other payments to which Participant has the right to receive from
the Company or any purchaser, successor, or assign, would constitute an “excess parachute payment”
(as defined in Code Section 280G), the payments pursuant to the Award and/or such other plans or
agreements shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such payments
being subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999, with any such reduction first applied
to payments pursuant to any Deferred Salary Agreement to which Participant is a party and then to
payments pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan.

9. Plan Controls

     The terms of this Agreement are governed by the terms of the Plan, as it exists on the Grant
Date and as the Plan is amended from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control,
except as expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement. The term “Section” generally refers to
provisions within the Plan; provided, however, the term “Paragraph” shall refer to a provision of
this Agreement.

10. Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item

     By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Award, Participant acknowledges that: (a)
Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (b) the value of the Award is an
extraordinary item which is outside the scope of any employment contract with Participant; (c) the
Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose, including without limitation
for calculating any benefits, severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service
payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, and
Participant will not be entitled to compensation or damages as a consequence of Participant’s
forfeiture as provided for in the Plan or this Agreement of any unvested portion of the Award for
any reason; and (d) in the event that Participant is not a direct employee of Company, the grant of
the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment relationship with the Company or any
Subsidiary and the grant of the Award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with
Participant’s employer, the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company shall be under no obligation
whatsoever to advise Participant of the existence, maturity or termination of any of Participant’s
rights hereunder and Participant shall be responsible for familiarizing himself or herself with all
matters contained herein and in the Plan which may affect any of Participant’s rights or privileges
hereunder.

11. Committee Authority

     Any question concerning the interpretation of this Agreement or the Plan, any adjustments
required to be made under the Plan, and any controversy that may arise under the Plan or this
Agreement shall be determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. Such decision
by the Committee shall be final and binding.

12. Transfer Restrictions

     Any sale, transfer, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, conveyance in trust, gift,
transfer by bequest, devise or descent, or other transfer or disposition of any kind, whether
voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, of (i) Unvested Units, (ii) Vested Units
prior to the Settlement Date, or (iii) Shares subject to such Unvested Units or Vested Units shall
be strictly prohibited and void; provided, however, Participant may assign or transfer the Award to
the extent permitted under the Plan, provided that the Award shall be subject to all the terms and
condition of the Plan, this Agreement and any other terms required by the Committee as a condition
to such transfer.

13. Suspension or Termination of Award

     Pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan, if at any time prior to Participant’s receipt of Shares
pursuant to the Award an Authorized Officer reasonably believes that Participant may have committed
an Act of Misconduct (as defined below), the Authorized Officer, the Committee or the Board may
suspend Participant’s rights to vest in any Restricted Stock Units, and/or to receive payment for
or receive Shares in settlement of Vested Units pending a determination of whether an Act of
Misconduct has been committed. In addition, pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan, if the Committee
or an Authorized Officer determines Participant has committed an act of embezzlement, fraud,
dishonesty, nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any

7

 

Subsidiary, breach of fiduciary duty, violation of Company ethics policy or code of conduct,
deliberate disregard of Company or Subsidiary rules, or if Participant makes an unauthorized
disclosure of any Company or Subsidiary trade secret or confidential information, solicits any
employee or service provider to leave the employ or cease providing services to the Company or any
Subsidiary, breaches any intellectual property or assignment of inventions covenant, engages in any
conduct constituting unfair competition, breaches any non-competition agreement, induces any
Company or Subsidiary customer to breach a contract with the Company or any Subsidiary or to cease
doing business with the Company or any Subsidiary, or induces any principal for whom the Company or
any Subsidiary acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship (any of the foregoing acts, an
“Act of Misconduct”), then except as otherwise provided by the Committee, (i) neither
Participant nor Participant’s estate nor transferee will be entitled to vest in or have the
restrictions on Unvested Units lapse, or otherwise receive payment or Shares in respect of Vested
Units and (ii) Participant will forfeit all undelivered Vested and Unvested Units. In making such
determination, the Committee or an Authorized Officer shall give Participant an opportunity to
appear and present evidence on his or her behalf at a hearing before the Committee or an
opportunity to submit written comments, documents, information and arguments to be considered by
the Committee. Any dispute by Participant or other person as to the determination of the Committee
must be resolved pursuant to Paragraph 15(j).

14. Adjustment of and Changes in the Stock

     In the event that the number of Shares increases or decreases through a reorganization,
reclassification, combination of shares, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, dividend
(other than regular, quarterly cash dividends), or otherwise, the Committee shall equitably adjust
the number of Shares subject to this Award to reflect such increase or decrease.

15. General Provisions

     (a) Notices. Whenever any notice is required or permitted hereunder, such notice must
be in writing and delivered in person or by mail (to the address set forth below if notice is being
delivered to the Company) or electronically. Any notice delivered in person or by mail shall be
deemed to be delivered on the date on which it is personally delivered, or, whether actually
received or not, on the third business day after it is deposited in the United States mail,
certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed to the person who is to receive it at the
address that such person has theretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance
herewith. Any notice given by the Company to Participant directed to Participant at Participant’s
address on file with the Company shall be effective to bind Participant and any other person who
shall have acquired rights under this Agreement. The Company or Participant may change, by written
notice to the other, the address previously specified for receiving notices. Notices delivered to
the Company in person or by mail shall be addressed as follows:

     (b) No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid unless in
writing and signed by the person against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, nor will
failure to enforce any right hereunder constitute a continuing waiver of the same or a waiver of
any other right hereunder.

     (c) Undertaking. Participant hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and
execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry
out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Participant or the
Award pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement.

     (d) Entire Contract. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract
between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is made
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and will in all respects be construed in conformity with the
express terms and provisions of the Plan.

     (e) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement will inure to the
benefit of, and be binding on, the Company and its successors and assigns and Participant and
Participant’s legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees, assigns and transferees by
operation of law, whether or not any such person will have become a party to this Agreement and
agreed in writing to join herein and be bound by the terms and conditions hereof.

     (f) Securities Law Compliance. The Company may impose such restrictions, conditions
or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by
Participant or other subsequent transfers by Participant of any Shares issued as a result of or
under this Award, including without limitation (i) restrictions under an insider trading policy,
(ii) restrictions that may be necessary in the absence of an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the Award and/or the Shares underlying the Award
and (iii) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm or other agent for such resales
or other transfers. Any sale of the Shares must also comply with other applicable laws and
regulations governing the sale of such shares.

     (g) Information Confidential. As partial consideration for the granting of the Award,
Participant agrees that he or she will keep confidential all information and knowledge that
Participant has relating to the manner and amount of his or her participation in the Plan;
provided, however, that such information may be disclosed as required by law and may be given in
confidence to Participant’s spouse, tax and financial advisors, or to a financial institution to
the extent that such information is necessary to secure a loan.

     (h) Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver
any documents related to any awards granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request
Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents
to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the
Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another
third party designated by the Company, and such consent shall remain in effect throughout
Participant’s term of employment or service with the Company and thereafter until withdrawn in
writing by Participant.

9

 

     (i) Governing Law. Except as may otherwise be provided in the Plan, the provisions of
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of law.

     (j) Arbitration of Disputes. Pursuant to Section 23 of the Plan, Participant hereby
agrees as follows:

          (i) If Participant or Participant’s transferee wishes to challenge any action of the Committee
or the Plan Administrator, the person may do so only by submitting to binding arbitration with
respect to such decision. The review by the arbitrator will be limited to determining whether
Participant or Participant’s transferee has proven that the Committee’s decision was arbitrary or
capricious. This arbitration will be the sole and exclusive review permitted of the Committee’s
decision. Participant explicitly waives any right to judicial review.

          (ii) Notice of demand for arbitration will be made in writing to the Committee within thirty
(30) days after written notice to Participant of the applicable decision by the Committee. The
arbitrator will be selected by mutual agreement of the Committee and Participant. If the Committee
and Participant are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected by the
American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator, no matter how selected, must be neutral within
the meaning of the Commercial Rules of Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association.
The arbitrator will administer and conduct the arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Rules of
Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association. Each side will bear its own fees and
expenses, including its own attorney’s fees, and each side will bear one half of the arbitrator’s
fees and expenses; provided, however, that the arbitrator will have the discretion to award the
prevailing party its fees and expenses. The arbitrator will have no authority to award exemplary,
punitive, special, indirect, consequential, or other extracontractual damages. The decision of the
arbitrator on the issue(s) presented for arbitration will be final and conclusive and any court of
competent jurisdiction may enforce it.

     (k) Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to comply, to the extent
applicable, with the distribution and other requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, as such,
shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the
Plan to the contrary, the Company may, in its sole discretion, amend this Award (which amendment
shall be effective upon its adoption or at such other time designated by the Company) as may be
necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or
otherwise comply with Section 409A and the regulations thereunder; provided, however, that any such
amendment shall be implemented in such a manner as to preserve, to the greatest extent possible,
the terms and conditions of this Award as in existence immediately prior to any such amendment.

     (l) Board Policies and Guidelines. Participant acknowledges that this Award is
subject to certain policies and guidelines as may be from time to time enacted by the Board of
Directors of the Company including guidelines for the Recoupment of Incentive Compensation adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Company effective October 18, 2007.

               2.1 Lease of Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from
Landlord, upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Premises, together with certain rights
to the Common Areas as hereinafter specified.

               2.2 Common Areas-Defined. The term “Common Areas” is defined as all areas and facilities
outside the Premises and within the exterior boundary line of the Property that are designated by
Landlord from time to time for the general non-exclusive use of Landlord, Tenant and the other
tenants of the Property and their respective employees, suppliers, customers and invitees,
including, but not limited to, common entrances, lobbies, corridors, stairwells, public restrooms,
elevators, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, roadways and sidewalks. Landlord may also
designate other land and
improvements outside the boundaries of the Property in which Landlord has rights to be a part
of the Common Areas, provided that such other land and improvements have a reasonable and
functional relationship to the Property.

3

 

3. Term.

     3.1 (a) Term, Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date and Expiration Date. The Term,
Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date and Expiration Date of this Lease are as specified in
Sections 1.10, 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13. As used in this Lease, “Lease Year” shall mean each period of
one year during the Term commencing on the Commencement Date or on any anniversary thereof,
provided that the first Lease Year shall consist of the period between the Commencement Date and
the last day of the calendar month in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs and the succeeding
twelve full calendar months, and each succeeding Lease Year shall consist of a one-year period
commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the Rent
Commencement Date fell.

     Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s request, complete and execute the
Verification Letter attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and deliver it to Landlord. Tenant’s failure to
execute the Verification Letter within said ten (10) business day period shall constitute Tenant’s
acknowledgment of the truth of the facts contained in the letter delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
However, Landlord’s failure to prepare or deliver a Verification Letter shall have no effect on the
Term, Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date or Expiration Date.

     3.2 Condition of the Premises. Except as herein specifically provided, the Premises are being
leased in their present condition, AS IS, WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY by Landlord. Tenant
acknowledges that it has inspected the Premises and Common Areas and, subject to the completion of
the Landlord’s Work (as hereafter defined), has found the same satisfactory. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord agrees to replace the existing entry doors to the Premises with a new Building
standard glass door. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to complete such installation prior to
September 1, 2005, but failure to do so shall have no effect on the Commencement Date, and Tenant
shall afford Landlord reasonable access to the Premises if necessary after the Commencement Date
for such purpose. Tenant shall have the right, so long as there exists no default on the part of
Tenant hereunder, to use the furniture owned by Landlord and located in the Premises as of the date
of this Lease for Tenant’s business needs in the Premises, and to relocate to the Premises prior to
the Commencement Date (and at Tenant’s cost) and use up to fifteen (15) workstations currently
located on the second floor of the Building. Tenant shall be responsible for the proper care,
maintenance, repair and replacement of the same, and such furniture and workstations shall be
surrendered to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in good condition,
reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted. Any such relocation shall
be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.

     3.3 Early Access. Tenant shall have access to the Premises prior to the Commencement Date
solely for the purpose of installation of furniture, equipment, and telephone/data wiring, provided
that such access shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, other than the
payment of Base Rent or additional rent. Tenant’s access shall be subject to reasonable scheduling
and other requirements of Landlord and Landlord’s contractor performing the work described in
Section 3.2 above, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of liability, casualty and
workmen’s compensation insurance prior to

4

 

having any such access. Any unreasonable interference with any work or activity being
undertaken by Landlord shall be grounds for revocation of Tenant’s access.

4. Rent.

     4.1 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent set forth in Section 1.14, without
offset or deduction commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and thereafter on the first day of
each calendar month. Base Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one
month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of the calendar month involved. Base
Rent and all other amounts payable to Landlord hereunder shall be payable to Landlord in lawful
money of the United States, and Tenant shall be responsible for delivering said amounts to Landlord
at the address stated herein or to such other person or to such other place in the continental
United States as Landlord may designate in writing. Landlord and Tenant agree that all amounts due
from Tenant under or in respect of this Lease, whether labeled Base Rent, additional rent,
additional charges or otherwise, shall be considered as rental reserved under this Lease for all
purposes, including without limitation regulations promulgated pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, and
including further without limitation Section 502(b) thereof.

     4.2 Operating Expense Increases. Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the term hereof, in
addition to the Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of the amount by which all Operating Expenses for each
Comparison Year exceed the amount of all Operating Expenses for the Operating Expense Base Year. If
less than 95% of the rentable square feet in the Building is occupied by tenants or Landlord is not
supplying services to tenants occupying 95% of the rentable square feet of the Building at any time
during any calendar year (including the Operating Expense Base Year), Operating Expenses for such
calendar year shall be reasonably extrapolated by Landlord, on an item-by-item basis, to the amount
of Operating Expenses that would normally be expected to be incurred had 95% of the Building’s
rentable square feet been occupied and had Landlord been supplying services to tenants occupying
95% of the Building’s rentable square feet throughout such calendar year (hereinafter the “Grossed
Up Operating Expenses”), and such amount shall be the Operating Expenses for such calendar year.
Except as provided in paragraph (h) below, Landlord’s good faith estimate of Grossed Up Operating
Expenses shall not be subject to challenge or recalculation by Tenant. Tenant’s Share of Operating
Expense increases shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:

          (a) “Tenant’s Share” is defined as the percentage set forth in Section 1.17, which percentage
has been determined by dividing the Rentable Area of Premises by ninety-five percent (95%) of the
Rentable Area of Building, and multiplying the resulting quotient by one hundred (100). In the
event that the Rentable Area of Premises or the Rentable Area of Building changes, Tenant’s Share
shall be adjusted in the year the change occurs, and Tenant’s Share for such year shall be
determined on the basis of the days during such year that each Tenant’s Share was in effect.

          (b) For purposes of determining Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases, “Comparison
Year” is defined as each calendar year during the term of this Lease after the Operating Expense
Base Year. In the event of any partial Comparison Years during the Term, Tenant’s Share of the
Operating Expense increases therefor shall be prorated according to

5

 

that portion of such Comparison Year as to which Tenant is responsible for a share of such
increase. For purposes of determining Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax increases, “Comparison
Year” is defined as each tax fiscal year during the term of this Lease after the Tax Base Year.
Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax increases for any partial Comparison Years during the Term
shall be prorated according to that portion of such Comparison Year as to which Tenant is
responsible for a share of such increase.

          (c) “Operating Expenses” shall mean all costs, expenses and fees incurred by Landlord in
connection with or attributable to the Property, including but not limited to, the following items:
(i) all costs, expenses and fees associated with or attributable to the management, operation,
repair, maintenance, improvement, alteration and replacement of the Property, or any part thereof,
including but not limited to, the following: (A) all surfaces, coverings, decorative items,
carpets, drapes, window coverings, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas,
roadways, sidewalks, stairways, landscaped areas, striping, bumpers, irrigation systems, lighting
facilities, building exteriors and roofs, fences and gates; (B) all heating, ventilating and air
conditioning equipment (“HVAC”), plumbing, mechanical, electrical systems, life safety systems and
equipment, telecommunication equipment, elevators, escalators, tenant directories, fire detection
systems including sprinkler system maintenance and repair; (ii) the cost of trash disposal,
janitorial services and security services and systems; (iii) the cost of all insurance purchased by
Landlord pursuant to Section 8 of this Lease, including any deductibles; (iv) the cost of water,
sewer, gas, electricity, and other utilities available at the Property and paid by Landlord; (v)
the cost of labor, salaries and applicable fringe benefits incurred by Landlord; (vi) the cost
(purchase or rental) of materials, supplies and tools used in operating, managing, maintaining,
repairing and/or cleaning the Property; (vii) the cost of accounting fees, management fees, legal
fees and consulting fees attributable to the ownership, operation, management, maintenance and
repair of the Property plus the cost of any space occupied by the property manager (provided that
if the Property is managed by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord, the management fee so included
in Operating Expenses shall not exceed a commercially reasonable management fee that would be paid
to an unaffiliated manager for like property management services); (viii) the cost of replacing,
modifying and/or adding improvements or equipment mandated by any law, statute, regulation or
directive of any governmental agency, and any repairs, disposals or removals necessitated thereby),
so long as the cost is not incurred to cure a violation of such requirement that existed on the
date of this Lease; (ix) payments made by Landlord under any easement, license, operating
agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant, or instrument pertaining to the payment or sharing of
costs among property owners; (x) any business property taxes or personal property taxes imposed
upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture and personal property used in connection with
the operation of the Property; (xi) the cost of obtaining, maintaining and complying with any
business licenses, permits or approvals necessary for the management, operation, maintenance or
repair of the Property; (xii) all costs and expenses associated with or related to the
implementation or support by Landlord of any vanpool or other traffic management or transportation
demand management or similar program; (xiii) fees assessed by any air quality management district
or other governmental or quasi-governmental entity regulating pollution; (xiv) the cost of any
other service provided by Landlord to all tenants of the Building or any cost that is elsewhere
stated in this Lease to be an Operating Expense; and (xv) the Property’s share of the costs of
operating and maintaining the Office Park, payable by Landlord as owner of the Property. Real
Property Taxes shall be paid in accordance with Section 10 below and shall not be included in
Operating

6

 

Expenses. Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation, from time to time, to equitably
allocate some or all of the Operating Expenses among different tenants of the properties owned by
Landlord or its affiliates within the Office Park or among the different buildings owned by
Landlord or its affiliates within the Office Park (the “Cost Pools”). Such Cost Pools may include,
but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of such buildings and the retail space
tenants of such buildings.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not include the following:

	 	(1)	 	Salaries of officers and executives of Landlord and other
employees above the grade of property manager;
	 
	 	(2)	 	Depreciation;
	 
	 	(3)	 	Costs of improving, painting, decorating, planning or designing
space to be occupied by other tenants or prospective tenants;
	 
	 	(4)	 	Interest and principal amortization on any mortgage or deed of
trust, and any rent paid on any ground or underlying lease;
	 
	 	(5)	 	Expenses for which Landlord, by the terms of this Lease
or any other lease, makes a separate charge;
	 
	 	(6)	 	Real estate taxes and franchise or income taxes imposed on Landlord;
	 
	 	(7)	 	The cost of any electric current or other utilities furnished
to the Building tenants and separately metered or billed;
	 
	 	(8)	 	Brokerage commissions, advertising costs, or other fees and
other costs incurred in procuring or negotiating with other tenants or
prospective tenants;
	 
	 	(9)	 	Costs relating to maintaining Landlord’s existence as a
corporation, limited partnership or other entity;
	 
	 	(10)	 	The cost of any work or service performed for any tenant (other
than Tenant) to a greater extent or in a materially more favorable manner than
that furnished generally to the tenants and other occupants;
	 
	 	(11)	 	Costs incurred by Landlord to the extent the same result from
any violation by Landlord of the terms and conditions of any lease of space;
	 
	 	(12)	 	The cost of any items for which Landlord is reimbursed by
insurance, condemnation, refund, warranties, guarantees or service contracts,
rebate or otherwise;

7

 

	 	(13)	 	The cost of any repairs made by Landlord pursuant to the damage or
condemnation articles of this Lease in excess of the “deductible” payable
under Landlord’s insurance;
	 
	 	(14)	 	Any costs representing an amount paid to an entity related to
Landlord which is in excess of the amount that would have been paid in the
absence of such relationship; and
	 
	 	(15)	 	Capital expenditures other than the following capital
expenditures (“Allowable Capital Costs”): (i) capital expenditures required in
order to make the Property comply with any law, regulation, or order of public
authority (so long as the cost is not incurred to cure a violation of such
requirement that existed on the date of this Lease), or (ii) capital
expenditures made by Landlord and reasonably intended to reduce Operating
Expenses.

          (e) Allowable Capital Costs shall be amortized over the useful life of the improvement or
equipment, as reasonably determined by Landlord, together with an interest factor on the
unamortized cost of such item equal to the lesser of (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) the
maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law.

          (f) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases shall be payable by Tenant within thirty
(30) days after a reasonably detailed statement of actual expenses and an invoice or request for
payment is presented to Tenant by Landlord. At Landlord’s option, however, Landlord may, from time
to time, estimate what Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases will, and the same shall be
payable by Tenant monthly during each Comparison Year of the Lease Term, on the same day as the
Base Rent is due hereunder. In the event that Tenant pays Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Share of
Operating Expense increases, Landlord shall use diligent efforts to deliver to Tenant within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of each Comparison Year a reasonably detailed
statement showing Tenant’s Share of the actual Operating Expense increases incurred during such
year. Landlord’s failure to deliver the statement and invoice or request for payment to Tenant
within said period shall not constitute Landlord’s waiver of its right to collect said amounts or
otherwise prejudice Landlord’s rights hereunder. If Tenant’s payments under this Section 4.2(f)
during said Comparison Year exceed Tenant’s Share as indicated on said statement and invoice or
request for payment, Tenant shall be entitled to credit the amount of such overpayment against
Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases next falling due, or if the Lease Term is over and
Tenant has paid all amounts then due and payable to Landlord, the amount of such overpayment shall
be refunded to Tenant. If Tenant’s payments under this Section 4.2(f) during said Comparison Year
were less than Tenant’s Share as indicated on said statement and invoice or request for payment,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery by
Landlord to Tenant of said statement and invoice or request for payment. Landlord and Tenant shall
forthwith adjust between them by cash payment any balance determined to exist with respect to that
portion of the last Comparison Year for which Tenant is responsible for Operating Expense
increases, notwithstanding that the Lease term may have terminated before the end of such

8

 

Comparison Year; and this provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease.

          (g) The computation of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases is intended to
provide a formula for the sharing of costs by Landlord and Tenant and will not necessarily result
in the reimbursement to Landlord of the exact costs it has incurred.

          (h) Provided there then exists no default on the part of Tenant hereunder (continuing
beyond the expiration of applicable notice and grace periods), if Tenant shall so request within
one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of any statement presented by Landlord hereunder, and
upon reasonable advance written notice from Tenant, Landlord shall permit Tenant, at Tenant’s
expense and during normal business hours, to review Landlord’s ledger and supporting records
relating to Operating Expenses for the Comparison Year in respect of which such statement was
prepared for the purpose of verifying any accounting that Landlord is required to give hereunder.
Any third party agent retained by Tenant to perform such a review shall have expertise in and
familiarity with general industry practice with respect to the operation of and accounting for a
first class office building and such agent’s compensation shall in no way be contingent upon or
correspond to the financial impact on Tenant resulting from the review. In making any such
examination, Tenant agrees, and shall cause its auditors, accountants and any other employees,
agents or contractors having access to such information to agree, to keep strictly confidential (i)
any and all information contained in such records, and (ii) the circumstances and details
pertaining to such examination, including without limitation the nature of any dispute in respect
of Operating Expenses and the nature or details of any settlement thereof; and Tenant will confirm
and cause its auditors, accountants, employees, agents and contractors to confirm such agreement in
writing, if so requested by Landlord, prior to such examination. Landlord’s accounting shall be
binding and conclusive upon Tenant unless, (i) Tenant has within such 120-day period, advised
Landlord of Tenant’s desire to review Landlord’s records, and (ii) within sixty (60) additional
days, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that Tenant disputes the correctness of such
accounting, specifying the particular respects in which the accounting is claimed to be incorrect.
If such dispute has not been resolved by agreement within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice of
such dispute, then Tenant may, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such 30-day period,
submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association, except that there shall be only one arbitrator, who shall have
had at least ten (10) years’ experience as a certified property manager in buildings similar to the
Building and in the same general location and market, and who has not at any time been employed by
either party hereto or any affiliate of either party. Such arbitrator shall be selected by Tenant,
subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord, and the fees of such arbitrator shall be paid by
Tenant (subject to reimbursement as provided below). If the parties are unable within ten (10)
business days to agree on an acceptable arbitrator, either party may request that the then
president of the Real Estate Finance Association of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board designate
an arbitrator meeting the qualifications herein. If Tenant shall fail to submit the matter to
arbitration within such 10-day period, then the accounting shall be conclusively deemed to be
correct. Pending resolution by agreement or arbitration, and as a condition to Tenant’s rights
hereunder, Tenant shall continue to make any payments claimed by Landlord to be due on account of
Operating Expenses, such payment to be without prejudice to Tenant’s position. Any decision by an
arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. If the dispute shall be resolved in Tenant’s

9

 

favor, Landlord shall forthwith credit the amount overpaid by Tenant against amounts subsequently
coming due on account of Operating Expenses, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable
cost of such arbitrator paid by Tenant. If Landlord does not make such payment or grant such credit
within fifteen (15) days after the arbitrator’s decision, then Landlord shall also pay interest
(computed from the date of the arbitrator’s decision) on the amount of the overpayment at the rate
set forth in Section 13.5. If the arbitrator shall determine that Tenant was overcharged Operating
Expenses by more than seven percent (7%), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual and
reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such review.

5. Security Deposit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord at the time of execution of this Lease by
Tenant the security deposit set forth in Section 1.16 as security for Tenant’s faithful performance
of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay Base Rent or other charges due hereunder,
or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may (but shall have no
obligation to), after expiration of any applicable notice and opportunity to cure, use all or any
portion of said deposit for the payment of any Base Rent or other charge due hereunder, to pay any
other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate
Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies
all or any portion of said deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor
deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to its full amount.
Landlord shall not be required to keep said security deposit separate from its general accounts. If
Tenant performs all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as shall
not then have been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other
amount for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant’s
interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the term hereof, and after
Tenant has vacated and delivered the Premises as required hereunder. Landlord may retain an amount
reasonably calculated to be sufficient to pay any final amount of Taxes or Operating Expenses for
the Comparison Year in which the Term ends. No trust relationship is created herein between
Landlord and Tenant with respect to said security deposit. Tenant acknowledges that the security
deposit is not an advance payment of any kind or a measure of or limit on Landlord’s damages in the
event of Tenant’s default. Any application of the security deposit by Landlord shall be without
prejudice to any other right or remedy. If Landlord conveys Landlord’s interest under this Lease,
the security deposit, or any part thereof not previously applied, shall be turned over by Landlord
to Landlord’s grantee, and, when so turned over, Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee for
proper application of the security deposit in accordance with the terms of this Section 5, and the
return thereof in accordance herewith. The holder of a mortgage shall not be responsible to Tenant
for the return or application of any such deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of
Landlord hereunder, unless such deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder. Tenant
hereby waives the provisions of any law which is inconsistent with this Section 5.

6. Permitted Use.

     6.1 Permitted Use. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the Permitted Use set
forth in Section 1.9 and for no other purpose. If Section 1.9 gives Tenant the right to use the
Premises for general office use, by way of example and not limitation, general office use

10

 

shall not include medical or dental office use or any similar use, offices of a governmental agency
or authority, clinic or laboratory use, classroom use, or any other use not characterized by
applicable zoning and land use restrictions as general office use, or any use which would require
Landlord or Tenant to obtain a conditional use permit, special permit or variance from any federal,
state or local authority. Notwithstanding any Permitted Use set forth in Section 1.9, Tenant shall
not use the Premises for any purpose that would violate the Building’s certificate of occupancy,
any conditional use permit, special permit or variance applicable to the Property or violate any
covenants, conditions or other restrictions applicable to the Building or the Property. No
exclusive use has been granted to Tenant hereunder.

     6.2 Compliance with Law. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, promptly comply with all
applicable laws and ordinances, governmental rules, regulations, and orders, certificates of
occupancy, conditional use or other permits, variances, covenants and restrictions of record, the
reasonable recommendations of Landlord’s engineers or other consultants, and requirements of any
fire insurance underwriters, rating bureaus or government agencies, now in effect or which may
hereafter come into effect, whether or not they reflect a change in policy from that now existing,
during the Term or any part of the Term hereof, relating in any manner to the occupation and use by
Tenant of the Premises. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, comply with (i) all requirements of
the Americans With Disabilities Act that relate to Tenant’s use of the Premises for other than
general business offices, or to any particular needs of any employee or invitee of Tenant, or that
relate to or become applicable as a result of any Alterations performed by or for Tenant, and (ii)
all federal, state and local laws and regulations governing occupational safety and health. Tenant
shall conduct its business and use the Premises in a lawful manner and shall not use or permit the
use of the Premises or the Common Areas in any manner that will tend to create waste or a nuisance
or shall tend to disturb other occupants of the Building or the Office Park. Tenant shall obtain,
at its sole expense, any permit or other governmental authorization required to operate its
business from the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for the failure of any other tenant or
person to abide by the requirements of this Section 6 or to otherwise comply with applicable laws
and regulations and, to the extent permitted by law, Tenant shall not be excused from the
performance of its obligations under this Lease due to such a failure.

     6.3 Condition of Premises. Tenant hereby accepts the Premises and the Building in their
condition existing as of the date this Lease is executed by Landlord and Tenant, subject to all
applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, regulations and permits governing the use of
the Premises, the Building’s certificate of occupancy, any applicable permits, approvals or
variances, and any easements, covenants or restrictions affecting the use of the Premises or the
Property. Tenant acknowledges that it has satisfied itself by its own independent investigation
that the Premises and the Property are suitable for its intended use, and that neither Landlord nor
Landlord’s agents has made any representation or warranty as to the present or future suitability
of the Premises, or the Building or the Property for the conduct of Tenant’s business.

7. Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations.

11

 

     7.1 Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall keep the Building (excluding the interior of the
Premises and space leased to other occupants of the Building) in good condition and repair. If
plumbing pipes, electrical wiring, or HVAC ducts or vents within the Premises are in need of
repair, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord, and Landlord shall cause the repairs to be
completed within a reasonable time, and Tenant shall immediately pay the entire cost of the repairs
to Landlord. Except as expressly provided in elsewhere in this Lease, there shall be no abatement
of rent or liability to Tenant on account of any injury or interference with Tenant’s business with
respect to any improvements, alterations or repairs made by Landlord to the Property or any part
thereof. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute or
other law now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs
at Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the Property
in good order, condition and repair (except to the extent that it shall be determined that any such
failure shall have constituted a constructive eviction). Landlord shall never be liable for any
failure to make repairs which Landlord has undertaken to make under the provisions of this Section
7.1 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.

     7.2 Tenant’s Obligations.

          (a) Subject to the requirements of Section 7.3, Tenant shall be responsible for keeping the
Premises in good condition and repair, at Tenant’s sole expense. By way of example, and not
limitation, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole expense, for repairing and/or replacing
carpet, marble, tile or other flooring, paint, wall coverings, corridor and interior doors and door
hardware, telephone and computer equipment, interior glass, window treatments, ceiling tiles,
shelving, cabinets, millwork and other tenant improvements. In addition, Tenant shall be
responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of all of Tenant’s required telephone,
computer, and related cabling from the telephone terminal room on the floor on which the Premises
is located to and throughout the Premises, and Tenant shall be responsible for any loss, cost,
damage, liability and expense (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to the
installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of such cabling. If Tenant fails to keep the
Premises in good condition and repair within the applicable notice and cure period (if any)
provided in Section 13.1, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any necessary repairs.
If Landlord makes such repairs, Landlord may bill Tenant for the cost of the repairs as additional
rent, and said additional rent shall be payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days.

          (b) On the last day of the Term hereof, or on any sooner termination, Tenant shall surrender
the Premises, together with any Alterations made by Tenant in accordance with this Lease and which
Tenant is not obligated to remove pursuant to Section 7.3, to Landlord in the condition in which
Tenant is required to keep the Premises pursuant to Section 7.2(a), ordinary wear and tear and
damage by fire or other casualty excepted, clean and free of debris and Tenant’s personal property.
Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or removal of
Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment and any Alterations that
Landlord requires Tenant to remove pursuant to Section 7.3. Unless Landlord otherwise requires
pursuant to Section 7.3, Tenant shall leave the electrical distribution systems, plumbing systems,
lighting fixtures, HVAC ducts and vents, window

12

 

treatments, wall coverings, carpets and other floor coverings, doors and door hardware, millwork,
ceilings and other tenant improvements at the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall
not pull or otherwise remove any computer network cabling, telephone cabling or similar items which
Tenant has installed in the Premises, without Landlord’s prior written consent. In the event of any
such removal, Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned thereby.

     7.3 Alterations and Additions.

          (a) Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, make any alterations,
improvements, additions, utility installations or repairs (hereinafter collectively referred to as
“Alterations”) in, on or about the Premises or the Property. Alterations shall include, but shall
not be limited to, the installation or alteration of security or fire protection systems,
communication systems, millwork, shelving, file retrieval or storage systems, carpeting or other
floor covering, window and wall coverings, electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures,
telephone or computer system wiring, HVAC and plumbing. Landlord agrees (i) that it will endeavor
to respond within ten (10) business days after receipt of any request for consent to any cosmetic
alterations (such as, but not limited to, changes in carpet, wall coverings or painting), and (ii)
that its consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed as to non-structural Alterations
proposed by Tenant that do not affect the electrical, mechanical or plumbing systems of the
Building or the Premises. If Tenant so requests at the time that Tenant requests Landlord’s consent
to any such Alteration, Landlord shall advise Tenant (at the time of giving such consent) of those
Alterations that Tenant must remove at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and the
restoration of the Premises and the Building to their prior condition, at Tenant’s expense. If a
work letter agreement is entered into by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall not be obligated to
remove the tenant improvements constructed in accordance with the work letter agreement, except to
the extent provided therein. If, as a result of any Alteration made by Tenant, Landlord is
obligated to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act or any other law or regulation and
such compliance requires Landlord to make any improvement or alteration to any portion of the
Building or the Office Park, as a condition to Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall have the right to
require Tenant to pay to Landlord prior to the construction of any Alteration by Tenant, the entire
cost of any improvement or alteration Landlord is obligated to complete by such law or regulation.
In the case of any Alteration, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount sufficient to compensate
Landlord for the overhead and other costs it incurs in reviewing the plans for the Alterations and
in monitoring the construction of the Alterations. Should Landlord permit Tenant to make its own
Alterations, Tenant shall use only such contractor as has been expressly approved by Landlord,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Should Tenant make any Alterations without the
prior approval of Landlord, or use a contractor not expressly approved by Landlord, Landlord may,
at any time during the term of this Lease, require that Tenant remove all or part of the
Alterations and return the Premises to the condition it was in prior to the making of the
Alterations. In the event Tenant makes any Alterations, Tenant agrees to obtain or cause its
contractor to obtain, prior to the commencement of any work, “builders all risk” insurance in an
amount reasonably approved by Landlord and workers compensation insurance.

          (b) Any request for Landlord’s consent to Alterations in or about the Premises that Tenant
shall desire to make shall be presented to Landlord in written form, with plans and

13

 

specifications which are sufficiently detailed to obtain a building permit (if and to the extent
necessary in light of the Alterations being proposed). If Landlord consents to an Alteration, the
consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Tenant acquiring a building permit (if necessary) and any
other licenses, permits, approvals or authorizations required therefor from the applicable
governmental agencies, furnishing copies thereof to Landlord prior to the commencement of the work,
and compliance by Tenant with all conditions of said permits, licenses, approvals and
authorizations in a prompt and expeditious manner. Tenant shall provide Landlord with as-built
plans and specifications for any Alterations made to the Premises.

          (c) Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have
been furnished to or for Tenant at or for use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured
by any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien against the Premises or the Office Park, or any interest
therein. If Tenant shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, Tenant shall
furnish to Landlord a surety bond satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to not less than one
and one half times the amount of such contested lien claim indemnifying Landlord against liability
arising out of such lien or claim. Such bond shall be sufficient in form and amount to free the
Property from the effect of such lien. In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to pay Landlord’s
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in participating in such action.

          (d) Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days’ advance written notice prior
to the commencement of any work in the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right to
post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises or the Property.

          (e) All Alterations (whether or not such Alterations constitute trade fixtures of Tenant)
which may be made to the Premises by Tenant shall be paid for by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense
(except as otherwise provided in Section 7.2(f) below), and shall be made and done in a good and
workmanlike manner and with new materials satisfactory to Landlord, and such Alterations shall be
the property of Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of
the Lease Term, unless Landlord requires their removal pursuant to Section 7.3(a). Tenant’s
personal property and equipment, other than that which is affixed to the Premises so that it cannot
be removed without material damage to the Premises or the Property, shall remain the property of
Tenant and may be removed by Tenant subject to the provisions of
Section 7.2(b).

          (f) Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may desire to make certain alterations or improvements
in the Premises to make the same more suitable for Tenant’s occupancy. Such alterations or
improvements may include tenant improvements to the Premises, installation of fixtures (excluding
furniture and equipment) in the Premises, and architectural and engineering expenses in connection
therewith. All such work shall be undertaken by Tenant in strict accordance with the applicable
requirements of this Lease, including without limitation the foregoing provisions of this Section
7.3. To the extent that (i) such work is completed in accordance with such requirements on or
before the eighteenth (18th) monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date, and (ii)
receipted invoices (and other material required under this Section 7.3 such as, but not limited to,
lien waivers) showing the actual cost thereof are presented to Landlord on or before the twentieth
(20th) monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date, and (iii) at the time of each
advance of funds, there then exists no Event of Default on the part of Tenant under this Lease (nor
any event or circumstance which, with the passage of time or the

14

 

giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant,
within thirty (30) days after receipt of all such invoices (together with lien waivers for all
costs theretofore billed), for costs actually incurred by Tenant, as evidenced by such invoices,
but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to reimburse Tenant more than an amount equal to
Landlord’s Contribution. For purposes hereof, “Landlord’s Contribution” shall be an amount equal to
the sum of $7.50 per square foot of Rentable Area (or $96,247.50). Tenant may submit requests for
reimbursement of such costs not more often than monthly and, to the extent that Tenant has not
requested reimbursement of any such hard costs on or before the twentieth (20th) monthly
anniversary of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall have no further obligation to reimburse Tenant
for such costs. Up to one-half of the total amount of the amounts advanced hereunder may be
requested to reimburse so-called “soft costs” associated with Tenant’s alterations hereunder,
including without limitation architectural and engineering fees and costs. For purposes hereof, the
costs of moving Tenant’s operations to the Premises, as well as the cost of wiring fifteen (15)
workstations, and for wiring for Tenant’s security system (and the costs of increasing HVAC or
electrical capacity for Tenant’s server room) shall be considered “hard costs.”

     7.4 Failure of Tenant to Remove Property. If this Lease expires or is otherwise
terminated, and Tenant fails to remove its property as required by Section 7.2(b), in addition to
any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, and subject to any other right or remedy
Landlord may have under applicable law, Landlord may remove any property of Tenant from the
Premises and store the same elsewhere at the expense and risk of Tenant. If such property is not
claimed, and all of Landlord’s costs and expenses of removal and storage (and other amounts owed by
Tenant to Landlord) are not paid in full, within thirty (30) days after such removal, Landlord may
at its option dispose of the same in any manner Landlord in its sole discretion deems appropriate,
and any proceeds realized by Landlord shall be applied to Landlord’s costs and expenses and other
amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord.

8. Insurance.

     8.1 Insurance-Tenant.

          (a) Tenant shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a commercial
general liability policy of insurance with coverages reasonably acceptable to Landlord, which, by
way of example and not limitation, protect Tenant and Landlord, any lender of Landlord and such
other persons as Landlord may reasonably request as additional insureds, against claims for bodily
injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or arising out of the ownership,
use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance
shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than
$2,000,000 per occurrence with an “Additional Insured-Managers and Landlords of Premises
Endorsement” and contain the “Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion” for damage caused by heat,
smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as
between insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under
this Lease as an “insured contract” and for the performance of Tenant’s indemnity obligations under
this Lease, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time.

15

 

          (b) Tenant shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease all-risk extended
coverage (i.e., so-called “special form”) property insurance with coverages acceptable to Landlord,
in Landlord’s sole discretion. Said insurance shall be written on a one hundred percent (100%)
replacement cost basis on Tenant’s personal property, all tenant improvements installed at the
Premises by Landlord or Tenant, Tenant’s trade fixtures and other property. Such policies shall
provide protection against any peril included within the classification “fire and extended
coverage,” or “special form coverage” against vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, sprinkler
leakage, earthquake damage and flood damage. If this Lease is terminated as the result of a
casualty in accordance with Section 9, the proceeds of said insurance attributable to the
replacement of all tenant improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant at the Premises shall be paid
to Landlord.

          (c) Tenant shall, at all times during the term hereof, maintain in effect workers’
compensation insurance as required by applicable law and business interruption and extra expense
insurance satisfactory to Landlord.

          (d) From time to time, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant,
Landlord may require Tenant to carry such additional insurance or higher coverage amounts as
landlords of comparable buildings in the geographical area of the Property are requiring of their
tenants.

     8.2 Insurance-Landlord.

          (a) Landlord shall obtain and keep in force a policy of general liability insurance providing
coverage to Landlord with respect to liability arising out of the ownership, operation and
management of the Property.

          (b) Landlord shall also obtain and keep in force during the Term of this Lease a policy or
policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Property in the amount of not less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost thereof, as determined by Landlord from time to
time. The terms and conditions of said policies and the perils and risks covered thereby shall be
determined by Landlord, from time to time, in Landlord’s sole discretion. In addition, at
Landlord’s option, Landlord shall obtain and keep in force, during the term of this Lease, a policy
of rental interruption insurance, with loss payable to Landlord, which insurance shall, at
Landlord’s option, also cover all Operating Expenses. At Landlord’s option, Landlord may obtain
insurance coverages and/or bonds related to the operation of the parking areas. In addition,
Landlord shall have the right to obtain such additional insurance as is customarily carried by
owners or operators of other comparable office buildings in the geographical area of the Property.
Tenant will not be named as an additional insured in any insurance policies carried by Landlord and
shall have no right to any proceeds therefrom. The policies purchased by Landlord shall contain
such deductibles as Landlord may determine. In addition to amounts payable by Tenant in accordance
with Section 4.2, Tenant shall pay any increase in the property insurance premiums for the Property
over what was payable immediately prior to the increase to the extent the increase is specified by
Landlord’s insurance carrier as being caused by the nature of Tenant’s occupancy or any act or
omission of Tenant.

16

 

     8.3 Insurance Policies. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of the insurance
required under Section 8.1 not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Commencement Date of this
Lease. Tenant’s insurance policies shall not be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or
other modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals
thereof. Tenant’s insurance policies shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do
business in the state in which the Property is located, and said companies shall maintain during
the policy term a “General Policyholder’s Rating” of at least A-X (or such other rating as may be
required by any lender having a lien on the Property) as set forth in the most recent edition of
“Best Insurance Reports.” All insurance obtained by Tenant shall be primary to and not contributory
with any similar insurance carried by Landlord, whose insurance shall be considered excess
insurance only. Landlord, and at Landlord’s option, the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust
encumbering the Office Park and any person or entity managing the Office Park on behalf of
Landlord, shall be named as an additional insured on all insurance policies Tenant is obligated to
obtain by Section 8.1 above. Tenant’s insurance policies shall not include deductibles in excess of
Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000).

     8.4 Waiver of Claims and Subrogation. Landlord waives any and all rights of recovery against
Tenant for liability or damages if such liability or damage is covered by Landlord’s insurance
policies then in force or the insurance policies Landlord is required to obtain by Section 8.1
(whether or not the insurance Landlord is required to obtain by Section 8.1 is then in force and
effect), whichever is broader. Landlord’s waiver shall not be limited by the amount of insurance
then carried by Landlord or the deductibles applicable thereto. Tenant waives any and all rights of
recovery against Landlord, Landlord’s employees, agents and contractors for liability or damages if
such liability or damage is covered by Tenant’s insurance policies then in force or the insurance
policies Tenant is required to obtain by Section 8.1 (whether or not the insurance Tenant is
required to obtain by Section 8.1 is then in force and effect), whichever is broader. Tenant’s
waiver shall not be limited by the amount of insurance then carried by Tenant or the deductibles
applicable thereto. Each party shall cause the insurance policies it obtains in accordance with
this Section 8 to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by subrogation
against the other party in connection with any liability or damage covered by any policy or
policies covering the insured party.

     8.5 Coverage. Landlord makes no representation to Tenant that the limits or forms of coverage
specified above or approved by Landlord are adequate to insure Tenant’s property or Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease, and the limits of any insurance carried by Tenant shall not limit
Tenant’s obligations or liability under any indemnity provision included in this Lease or under any
other provision of this Lease.

9. Damage or Destruction.

     9.1 Effect of Damage or Destruction (a) If all or part of the Building is damaged by
fire, earthquake, flood, explosion, the elements, riot, the release or existence of Hazardous
Substances (as defined below) or by any other cause whatsoever (hereinafter collectively referred
to as “damages”), but the damages are not material (as defined in Section 9.2 below), Landlord

17

 

shall repair the damages to the Building within a commercially reasonable time, and this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect. If all or part of the Building is destroyed or materially
damaged (as defined in Section 9.2 below), Landlord shall have the right, in its sole and complete
discretion, to repair or to rebuild the Building or to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall within
sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such material damage or destruction notify Tenant in
writing of Landlord’s intention to repair or to rebuild or to terminate this Lease. Tenant shall in
no event be entitled to compensation or damages on account of annoyance or inconvenience in making
any repairs, or on account of construction, or on account of Landlord’s election to terminate this
Lease.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises are destroyed or damaged as aforesaid and
Landlord in good faith determines that the Premises cannot be rebuilt or repaired within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the occurrence of the damage or destruction, without
payment of overtime or other premiums, and the damage to the Building will render the entire
Premises unusable during said one hundred eighty (180) day period, Landlord shall notify Tenant
thereof within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such material damage or destruction, and
Tenant shall thereafter have a period of fifteen (15) days within which Tenant may elect to
terminate this Lease, such termination to be effective upon written notice to Landlord. As used in
this Article 9, the term “Premises” shall mean the Premises itself and such portions of the common
areas and facilities of the Building as are necessary to provide reasonably safe access to the
Premises and to provide those building services, such as utilities and HVAC service, that Landlord
is required to provide hereunder. In addition, if Tenant does not so elect to terminate this Lease
within such 15-day period, and if Landlord’s restoration work in the Premises is not substantially
completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the occurrence of the damage or
destruction (which 180-day period shall be extended (i) for such time as Landlord is prevented or
delayed by acts or omissions of Tenant, or (ii) for such time (not to exceed 60 additional days) as
Landlord is prevented or delayed by any so-called
“force majeure” or matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control), then Tenant may again elect to
terminate this Lease, any such termination to be effective on the forty-fifth (45th) day
after written notice to Landlord of such termination (unless restoration work to the Premises is
substantially completed within such 45-day period). Tenant’s termination rights described in the
preceding sentences shall not apply if the damage was caused by the negligent or intentional acts
of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees.

          (c) Subject to Section 9.3 below, if Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease in accordance
with this Section 9.1, Tenant shall continue to pay all Base Rent, Operating Expense increases and
other amounts due hereunder which arise prior to the date of termination.

     9.2 Definition of Material Damage. Damage to the Building shall be deemed material if, in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment, (a) the Building cannot be rebuilt or repaired within one hundred
eighty (180) days after the date of the occurrence of the damage or destruction, (b) the Building
cannot be rebuilt or repaired to substantially the same condition it was in prior to the damage due
to laws or regulations in effect at the time the repairs will be made, (b) the holder of any
mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property requires that insurance proceeds available to
repair the damage in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000)

18

 

be applied to the repayment of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage or the deed of trust, or
(c) the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term.

     9.3 Abatement of Rent. If Landlord elects to repair damage to the Property and all or part of
the Premises will be unusable or inaccessible to Tenant in the ordinary conduct of its business
until the damage is repaired, Tenant’s Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases
shall be abated until the repairs are completed in proportion to the amount of the Premises which
is unusable or inaccessible to Tenant in the ordinary conduct of its business.

     9.4 Tenant’s Acts. Subject to Section 8.4 above, if such damage or destruction occurs as a
result of the negligence or the intentional acts of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents,
contractors or invitees, and the proceeds of insurance which are actually received by Landlord or
its mortgagee are not sufficient to pay for the repair of all of the damage, Tenant shall pay, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to Landlord upon demand, the difference between the cost of
repairing the damage and the insurance proceeds received by Landlord.

     9.5 Tenant’s Property. As more fully set forth in Section 22, Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees or customers for loss or damage to
merchandise, tenant improvements, fixtures, automobiles, furniture, equipment, computers, files or
other property (hereinafter in this Section 9.5 collectively “Tenant’s Property”) located at the
Property, unless damaged due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
employees or agents. Tenant shall repair or replace all of Tenant’s property at Tenant’s sole cost
and expense. Tenant acknowledges that it is Tenant’s sole responsibility to obtain adequate
insurance coverage to compensate Tenant for damage to Tenant’s property.

     9.6 Waiver. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any present or future
statutes which relate to the termination of leases when leased property is damaged or
destroyed and agree that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.

10. Real and Personal Property Taxes.

     10.1 Payment of Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the term of this Lease, in addition
to Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases, Tenant’s Share of the amount by
which all “Real Property Taxes” (as defined in Section 10.2 below) for each Comparison Year exceeds
the amount of all Real Property Taxes for the Tax Base Year. Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax
increases shall be payable by Tenant at the same time, in the same manner and under the same terms
and conditions as Tenant pays Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases as provided in Section
4.2(f) of this Lease. Except as expressly provided in Section 10.4 below, if the Real Property
Taxes incurred during any Comparison Year are less than the Real Property Taxes incurred during the
Tax Base Year, Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any credit, offset, reduction or benefit as
a result of said occurrence.

     10.2 Definition of “Real Property Tax”. As used herein, the term “Real Property Taxes” shall
mean (i) all taxes, assessments (special or otherwise), levies, fees and all other

19

 

government levies, exactions and charges of every kind and nature, general and special, ordinary
and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, which are, at any time prior to or during the Term,
imposed or levied upon or assessed against the Property or any portion thereof, or against any Base
Rent, additional rent or other rent of any kind or nature payable to Landlord by anyone on account
of the ownership, leasing or operation of the Property, or which arise on account of or in respect
of the ownership, development, leasing, operation or use of the Property or any portion thereof;
(ii) all gross receipts taxes or similar taxes imposed or levied upon, assessed against or measured
by any Base Rent, additional rent or other rent of any kind or nature or other sum payable to
Landlord by anyone on account of the ownership, development, leasing, operation, or use of the
Property or any portion thereof; (iii) all value added, use and similar taxes at any time levied,
assessed or payable on account of the ownership, development, leasing, operation, or use of the
Property or any portion thereof; and (iv) reasonable out-of pocket expenses of any proceeding for
abatement of any of the foregoing items included in Real Property Taxes, provided Landlord prevails
in such abatement proceeding; but the amount of special taxes or special assessments included in
Real Property Taxes shall be limited to the amount of the installment (plus any interest, other
than penalty interest, payable thereon) of such special tax or special assessment required to be
paid during the year in respect of which such Real Property Taxes are being determined. There shall
be excluded from Real Property Taxes all income, estate, succession, inheritance and transfer taxes
of Landlord or any tax defined as an Operating Expense by Section 4.2(c); provided, however, that
if at any time during the Term the present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be
changed so that a capital levy, franchise, income, profits, sales, rental, use and occupancy, or
other tax or charge shall in whole or in part be substituted for, or added to, such ad valorem tax
and levied against, or be payable by, Landlord with respect to the Property or any portion thereof,
such tax or charge shall be included in the term “Real Property Taxes” for the purposes of this
Lease.

     10.3 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against
and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant
contained in the Premises or related to Tenant’s use of the Premises. If any of Tenant’s personal
property shall be assessed with Landlord’s real or personal property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the taxes attributable to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written statement from
Landlord setting forth the taxes applicable to Tenant’s property.

     10.4 Reassessments. From time to time Landlord may challenge the assessed value of the
Building and Land as determined by applicable taxing authorities and/or Landlord may attempt to
cause the Real Property Taxes to be reduced on other grounds. If Landlord is successful in causing
the Real Property Taxes to be reduced or in obtaining a refund, rebate, credit or similar benefit
(hereinafter in this Section 10.4 collectively referred to as a
“reduction”), Landlord shall, after deducting the costs incurred by Landlord in causing the
reduction to be made, credit the reduction(s) to Real Property Taxes for the calendar year to which
a reduction applies and to recalculate the Real Property Taxes owed by Tenant for years after the
year in which the reduction applies based on the reduced Real Property Taxes (if a reduction
applies to Tenant’s Tax Base Year, the Tax Base Year Real Property Taxes shall be reduced by the
amount of the reduction and Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax increases shall be recalculated for
all Comparison Years following the year of the reduction based on the lower Tax Base Year amount).
After deducting Landlord’s expenses as hereinabove provided,

20

 

Landlord shall refund to Tenant Tenant’s Share of the reduction of Real Property Taxes
(exclusive of interest) for the years to which any reductions apply.

11. Utilities.

     11.1 Services Provided by Landlord. Subject to all governmental rules, regulations and
guidelines applicable thereto, Landlord shall provide HVAC service to the Common Areas and the
Premises during the times described in Section 11.4 (which HVAC service shall be sufficient to
provide a reasonably comfortable interior environment under usual prevailing exterior conditions),
reasonable amounts of electricity for normal lighting to the Common Area, replacement light bulbs
and/or fluorescent tubes and ballasts for standard overhead fixtures in the Common Area, water in
the Premises and in the Common Area for reasonable and normal drinking and lavatory use, and
building standard janitorial services, as described in Exhibit C hereto.

     11.2 Intentionally Omitted.

     11.3 Services Exclusive to Tenant. Tenant shall pay directly to the provider thereof, on or
before the date when due and in addition to payments of Base Rent and other additional rent
provided for herein, the costs of all electricity used in the Premises (including, but not limited
to, for HVAC), water, gas, heat, heat pump fuel, telephone and any other utilities and services
supplied and/or metered exclusively to the Premises or to Tenant, together with any taxes thereon.
If Landlord measures electricity or any other utility usage in the Premises by a submeter, Tenant
shall pay the costs as shown on such submeter to Landlord, as additional rent, at Landlord’s actual
cost for such services, without mark-up, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice
therefor. If any such services are not separately metered or submetered to the Premises, Tenant
shall pay, at Landlord’s option, either Tenant’s Share or a reasonable proportion to be determined
by Landlord of all charges jointly metered with other premises in the Building at Landlord’s actual
cost for such services, without mark-up.

     11.4 Hours of Service. Building services shall be provided Monday through Friday from 8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Janitorial services shall be provided
Monday through Friday. Other Building services, if any, shall not be provided at other times or on
nationally recognized holidays. Nationally recognized holidays shall include, but shall not
necessarily be limited to, New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

     11.5 Excess Usage by Tenant. Notwithstanding the Permitted Use set forth in Section 1.9,
Tenant shall not use Building utilities or services in excess of those used by the average office
building tenant using its premises for ordinary office use. Tenant shall not install at the
Premises office machines, lighting fixtures or other equipment which will generate above average
heat, noise or vibration at the Premises or which will adversely affect the Building’s HVAC or
other systems. If the Premises include or if Tenant hereafter installs any computer,
telecommunications or other so-called “special purpose” room or area, Tenant shall at its sole

21

 

cost and expense, provide such supplemental heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment and
systems (the “Supplemental Systems”) as may be required to keep such room or area at the proper
temperature and environmental conditions. All Supplemental Systems shall be subject to Landlord’s
prior review and consent and other conditions in Article 7, and if approved, shall be maintained,
repaired and replaced as necessary by Tenant, so as not to impose any additional load on the
Building systems. Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, the cost of electricity, water and other
materials necessary for the proper operation of Supplemental Systems, as well as any costs or
expenses incurred by Landlord to provide additional capacity for Building systems to accommodate or
provide the same. Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant does use Building utilities or services
in excess of those used by the average office building tenant, Landlord shall have the right (but
no obligation), in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have under this Lease, to (a) at
Tenant’s expense, install additional equipment and/or separate metering devices at the Premises,
and to charge Tenant therefor and for such usage, (b) require Tenant to install Supplemental
Systems as provided above, (c) require Tenant to pay to Landlord all costs, expenses and damages
incurred by Landlord as a result of such usage, and/or (d) require Tenant to stop using excess
utilities or services.

     11.6 Interruptions. (a) Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for its
failure to furnish gas, electricity, telephone service, water, HVAC or any other utility services
or building services when such failure is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs,
replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to
secure electricity, gas, water, telephone service or other utility at the Office Park, by any
accident, casualty or event arising from any cause whatsoever, including the negligence of
Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors, by act, negligence or default of Tenant or any
other person or entity, or by any other cause and, to the extent permitted by law, such failures
shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of
the Premises or relieve Tenant from the obligation of paying rent or performing any of its
obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for
loss of property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without
limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a
failure to furnish any such services or utilities. Landlord may comply with voluntary controls or
guidelines promulgated by any governmental entity relating to the use or conservation of energy,
water, gas, light or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating
any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if (i) an
interruption or curtailment, suspension or stoppage of an Essential Service (as said term is
hereinafter defined) shall occur (any such interruption of an Essential Service being hereinafter
referred to as a “Service Interruption”), and (ii) such Service Interruption occurs or continues as
a result of the negligence or a wrongful conduct of the Landlord or Landlord’s agents, servants,
employees or contractors, and (iii) such Service Interruption continues for more than three (3)
business days after Landlord shall have received notice thereof from Tenant, and (iv) as a result
of such Service Interruption, the conduct of Tenant’s normal operations in the Premises is
materially and adversely affected, then there shall be an abatement of one day’s Base Rent and
Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes for each day during which such Service Interruption
continues after such three (3) business day period. For purposes hereof, the term

22

 

“Essential Services” shall mean the following services: access to the Premises, water and
sewer/septic service and electricity. The foregoing shall not apply to any Service Interruption to
the extent the same arises from any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, contractors or
employees, or from fire or casualty, Force Majeure or taking or condemnation by the power of
eminent domain. Tenant’s rights herein granted shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies for
any loss or damage arising from any Service Interruption.

12. Assignment and Subletting.

     12.1 Landlord’s Consent Required. (a) Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law
assign, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of
Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises (any of the foregoing hereinafter may be
referred to as a “Transfer”), or permit any Transfer to occur, without Landlord’s prior written
consent in each case. A “Transfer” requiring Landlord’s consent hereunder shall include, without
limitation, the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by any party other than
Tenant, and the granting of concessions, licenses and the like with respect to the Premises or any
part thereof. Provided that Tenant’s request for consent reflects in prominent typeface that
Landlord is required to respond within such period, Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s written
request for consent hereunder within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the written
request from Tenant. Any attempted Transfer without such consent shall be void and shall constitute
an Event of Default under this Lease. Tenant’s written request for Landlord’s consent shall
include, and Landlord’s ten (10) business day response period referred to above shall not commence,
unless and until Landlord has received from Tenant, all of the following information: (a) financial
statements for the proposed assignee or subtenant (b) a detailed description of the business the
assignee or subtenant intends to operate at the Premises, (c) the proposed effective date of the
assignment or sublease, (d) a copy of the proposed sublease or assignment agreement which includes
all of the material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, (e) a reasonably
detailed description of any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed
assignee or subtenant; and (f) a description of any Alterations the proposed assignee or subtenant
desires to make to the Premises. If the obligations of the proposed assignee or subtenant will be
guaranteed by any person or entity, Tenant’s written request shall not be considered complete until
the information described in (a) of the previous sentence has been provided with respect to each
proposed guarantor.

          (b) A “Transfer” shall also include: (i) if Tenant is a corporation, and Tenant’s stock is not
publicly traded over a recognized securities exchange, or Tenant is a partnership, limited
liability company, or other entity, transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock
of such corporation or fifty percent (50%) (or in either case, such lower percentage as would
effect a change of control) of the voting interests in such partnership, limited liability company
or other entity during the term of this Lease (whether or not in one or more transfers, but
excluding bona fide transfers not entered into for the purpose of evading this provision and
constituting further equity investment in Tenant or transfers of not more than twenty percent (20%)
and not resulting in a change of control); and (ii) the dissolution, merger or liquidation of the
corporation or other entity, and (iii) the involvement by Tenant or its assets in any transaction,
or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, refinancing,

23

 

transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise) whether or not a formal assignment or
hypothecation of this Lease or Tenant’s assets occurs, but only if such transaction
results or will result in a reduction of the “Net Worth” of Tenant (as hereinafter
defined), by an amount equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net
Worth of Tenant as it is represented to Landlord at the time of the execution by Landlord
of this Lease.

     12.2 Business Combinations; Affiliates.(a) Section 12.1 shall not apply to, and
Landlord’s prior consent shall not be required for any Transfer arising or resulting from
the involvement by Tenant or its assets in any transaction, or series of transactions (by
way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, refinancing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or
otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Tenant’s
assets occurs, unless such transaction or series of transactions results or will result
in a reduction of the “Net Worth” of Tenant as hereinafter defined, by an amount equal to
or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth of Tenant as it is
represented to Landlord at the time of the execution by Landlord of this Lease, or as it
exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction,
at whichever time said Net Worth of Tenant was or is greater. “Net Worth” of Tenant for
purposes of this Section 12.2 shall be the net worth of Tenant (excluding any guarantors)
established under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

          (b) Section 12.1 shall not apply to, and Landlord’s prior consent shall not be
required for any assignment of this Lease, or a sublease of all or any portion of the
Premises, by the Tenant to its wholly owned subsidiary or immediate controlling entity or
its Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) (for such period of time as such corporation
remains such a subsidiary or such a controlling entity or such an Affiliate,
respectively, it being agreed that the subsequent sale or transfer of stock or ownership
interest resulting in a change in voting control, or any other transaction(s) having the
overall effect that such entity ceases to be such a subsidiary or such a controlling
entity or such an Affiliate, respectively, of the Tenant, shall be treated as if such
sale or transfer or transaction(s) were, for all purposes, a Transfer governed by the
provisions of Section 12.1), provided (and it shall be a condition of the validity of any
such assignment) that such Transferee first agree directly with the Landlord to be bound
by all of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, the
obligation to pay the rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease, the covenant
to use the Premises only for the purposes specifically permitted under this Lease and the
covenant against further assignment, but such assignment shall not relieve the Tenant
herein named of any of its obligations hereunder, and the Tenant shall remain fully
liable therefor. As used herein, “Affiliate” shall mean any entity that is under common
direct or indirect control with Tenant. “Control” shall mean ownership of fifty-one
percent (51%) or more of the voting securities, or other ownership interests or rights of
the controlled entity (which includes the right to elect the directors of the corporation
or the equivalent if such entity is not a corporation).

     12.3 Standard For Approval. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to
a Transfer, provided that Tenant has complied with each and every requirement, term and
condition of this Section 12. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that each requirement, term
and condition in this Section 12 is a reasonable requirement, term or condition, but that
the terms and conditions of this Section 12 are not an exclusive statement of the
reasonable grounds on which

24

 

Landlord may withhold its consent to a Transfer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a Transfer if any
requirement, term or condition of this Section 12 is not complied with, or: (a) the Transfer would
cause Landlord to be in violation of its obligations under another lease or agreement to which
Landlord is a party; (b) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, a proposed assignee has a smaller Net
Worth than Tenant has on the date of such Transfer, or is less able financially to pay the rents
due under this Lease as and when they are due and payable; (c) a proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s
business will impose a burden on the Property’s parking facilities, elevators, Common Areas or
utilities that is greater than the burden imposed by Tenant, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment; (d)
the terms of a proposed assignment or subletting will allow the proposed assignee or subtenant to
exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, right of first refusal or
similar right held by Tenant; (e) a proposed assignee or subtenant refuses to enter into a written
assignment agreement or sublease, satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, which
provides that it will abide by and assume all of the terms and conditions of this Lease for the
term of any assignment or sublease and containing such other terms and conditions as Landlord
reasonably deems necessary; (f) the use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant will
not be identical to the Permitted Use; (g) any guarantor of this Lease refuses to consent to the
Transfer or to execute a written agreement reaffirming the guaranty; (h) if requested by Landlord,
the assignee or subtenant refuses to sign a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in favor of
Landlord’s lender; (j) Landlord has sued or been sued by the proposed assignee or subtenant or has
otherwise been involved in a legal dispute with the proposed assignee or subtenant; (k) the
proposed assignee or subtenant is involved in a business which in Landlord’s reasonable judgment is
not in keeping with the then current standards of the Building, or (l) the proposed assignee or
subtenant is a person or entity then negotiating with Landlord for the lease of space in the
Building (or any other building in the Office Park owned by an affiliate of Landlord). Tenant shall
not publicly offer or advertise for any assignment or sublease at a price or rate below the prices
or rates at which Landlord is then offering to lease space in the Building.

     12.4 Additional Terms and Conditions. The following terms and conditions shall be
applicable to any Transfer:

          (a) Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no Transfer shall release Tenant from Tenant’s
obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and other sums due
Landlord hereunder and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder, or
release any guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty.

          (b) Landlord may accept rent from any person other than Tenant pending approval or
disapproval of an assignment or subletting.

          (c) Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of a Transfer, nor the acceptance of rent,
shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Landlord’s right to exercise its rights and remedies for
the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this Section 12.

          (d) The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent
Transfer by Tenant or to any subsequent or successive Transfer by an assignee or subtenant.
However, Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers or any amendments or

25

 

modifications thereto without notifying Tenant or anyone else liable on the Lease and without
obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under
this Lease.

          (e) In the event of any default under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against
Tenant, any guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of this Lease, including any
subtenant or assignee, without first exhausting Landlord’s remedies against any other person or
entity responsible therefor to Landlord, or any security held by Landlord.

          (f) Landlord’s written consent to any Transfer by Tenant shall not constitute an
acknowledgment that no default then exists under this Lease nor shall such consent be deemed a
waiver of any then existing default.

          (g) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by Landlord in
giving its consent to an assignment or subletting was materially false shall, at Landlord’s
election, render Landlord’s consent null and void.

          (h) Landlord shall not be liable under this Lease or under any sublease to any subtenant.

          (i) No assignment or sublease may be materially modified or amended without
Landlord’s prior written consent.

          (j) Any assignee of, or subtenant under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such
assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the benefit of Landlord, to have assumed
and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation
herein to be observed or performed by Tenant during the term of said assignment or sublease, except
as Landlord may otherwise specifically agree in writing.

     12.5 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The following terms and
conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and shall be
deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not expressly incorporated therein:

          (a) Tenant hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Landlord all
of Tenant’s interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease entered into by Tenant,
Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease; provided, however, that until a default shall occur in the performance of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under such
sublease. Landlord shall not, by reason of this or any other assignment of such rents to Landlord
nor by reason of the collection of the rents from a subtenant, be deemed to have assumed or
recognized any sublease or to be liable to the subtenant for any failure of Tenant to perform and
comply with any of Tenant’s obligations to such subtenant under such sublease, including, but not
limited to, Tenant’s obligation to return any security deposit. Tenant hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs any such subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating
that a default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to
Landlord the rents due as they become due under the

26

 

sublease. Tenant agrees that such subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement
and request from Landlord, and that such subtenant shall pay such rents to Landlord without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice
from or claim from Tenant to the contrary.

          (b) Each sublease shall provide that if, prior to the termination of any sublease, any
event (other than a casualty described in Section 9.1 or condemnation described in Section 15)
occurs which, by voluntary or involuntary act or by operation of law, might cause or permit this
Lease to be terminated, expire, be canceled, be foreclosed against, or otherwise come to an end,
including but not limited to (1) an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease of any of the terms
or provisions hereof, (2) foreclosure proceedings brought by the holder of any mortgage or trust
deed to which the Property is subject; or (3) the termination of Tenant’s leasehold estate by
dispossession proceeding or otherwise, then, at Landlord’s sole election and option, the subtenant
shall attorn to Landlord and recognize Landlord as the subtenant’s landlord under the sublease,
upon the terms and conditions and at the rental rate specified in the sublease, and for the then
remaining term of the sublease, except that Landlord shall not be bound by any provision of the
sublease which in any way increases Landlord’s duties, obligations or liabilities to the subtenant
beyond those owed to Tenant under this Lease. The subtenant shall execute and deliver, at any time
and from time to time, upon request of Landlord, any instruments which may be necessary or
appropriate to evidence such attornment. Landlord shall not (i) be liable to the subtenant for any
act, omission or breach of the sublease by Tenant, (ii) be subject to any offsets or defenses which
the subtenant might have against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any rent or additional rent which the
subtenant might have paid in advance to Tenant, or (iv) be bound to honor any rights of the
subtenant in any security deposit made with Tenant except to the extent Tenant has turned over such
security deposit to Landlord. Tenant hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of any event with
respect to this Lease described above, Tenant shall immediately pay or transfer to Landlord any
security deposit, rent or other sums then held by Tenant. In the event of any such attornment,
Landlord’s liability shall be limited to matters arising during Landlord’s ownership of the
Building. The liability of Landlord to the subtenant for any default by landlord after such
attornment, or arising in connection with Landlord’s operation, management, leasing, repair,
renovation, alteration, or any other matter relating to the Building or the subleased premises,
shall be limited to the interest of the Landlord in the Building (and proceeds thereof). Landlord
shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to elect not to have the subtenant attorn to
Landlord and, in that event, the sublease shall be deemed terminated on the date of the occurrence
of the event with respect to this Lease described above, and Landlord shall have no obligation to
permit the subtenant to continue to occupy all or any part of the Premises.

     12.6 Transfer Premium from Assignment or Subletting. Landlord shall be entitled to receive
from Tenant (as and when received by Tenant) as an item of additional rent fifty percent (50%) of
the gross amounts received by Tenant from such assignee or subtenant in excess of the amounts
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (the “Transfer Premium”). The Transfer Premium shall be
reduced by the reasonable brokerage commissions, legal fees, improvements allowances and other
inducements actually paid to the subtenant or assignee in order to assign the Lease or to sublet
all or a portion of the Premises. If less than all of the Premises is transferred, the Base Rent
and the additional rent shall be determined on a per

27

 

rentable square foot basis. “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money
and bonus money paid by the assignee or subtenant to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, the
fair value of any work or services provided by the assignee or subtenant for Tenant, and any
payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to the assignee or subtenant
or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to the assignee
or subtenant in connection with such Transfer. The provisions of this Section 12.6 shall not be
applicable to any sublease or assignment permitted under Section 12.2.

     12.7 Landlord’s Option to Recapture Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Section 12, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within
fifteen (15) business days after receipt of a request by Tenant given prior to Tenant’s marketing
the space for sublease or assignment, to terminate this Lease with respect to said space as of the
date thirty (30) days after Landlord’s election. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this
Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Base Rent, Tenant’s
Share of Operating Expense and Real Property Tax increases and the number of parking spaces Tenant
may use shall be adjusted on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in
proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the original Premises, and this Lease
as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party,
the parties shall execute written confirmation of same. If Landlord recaptures only a portion of
the Premises, it shall construct and erect at its sole cost such partitions as may be required to
sever the space to be retained by Tenant from the space recaptured by Landlord. Landlord may, at
its option, lease any recaptured portion of the Premises to the proposed subtenant or assignee or
to any other person or entity without liability to Tenant. Tenant shall not be entitled to any
portion of the profit, if any, Landlord may realize on account of such termination and reletting.
Tenant acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 12.7 is to enable Landlord to receive profit
in the form of higher rent or other consideration to be received from an assignee or subtenant, to
give Landlord the ability to meet additional space requirements of other tenants of the Office Park
and to permit Landlord to control the leasing of space in the Office Park. Tenant acknowledges and
agrees that the requirements of this Section 12.7 are commercially reasonable and are consistent
with the intentions of Landlord and Tenant. Upon notification to Tenant by Landlord of Landlord’s
intention to recapture the Premises (or applicable portion thereof) hereunder, Tenant may rescind
its notice of intention to sublease or assign, by giving Landlord notice of such rescission within
five (5) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of intent to recapture, whereupon Tenant’s notice
of intention to sublease or assign shall be null and void. The provisions of this Section 12.7
shall not be applicable to any sublease or assignment permitted under Section 12.2.

     12.8 Landlord’s Expenses. In the event Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises
or request the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, then Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, attorneys’,
architects’, accountants’, engineers’ or other consultants’ fees.

13. Default; Remedies.

28

 

     13.1 Default by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the occurrence of any one or
more of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” by Tenant under this Lease and that
said Event of Default shall give Landlord the rights described in Section 13.2. Landlord or
Landlord’s authorized agent shall have the right to execute and to deliver any notice of default,
notice to pay rent or quit or any other notice Landlord gives Tenant.

          (a) Tenant’s failure to make any payment of Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense
increases, Tenant’s Share of Real Property Taxes, late charges, or any other payment required to be
made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of five
(5) business days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. In the event that Landlord
serves Tenant with a notice to pay rent or quit pursuant to applicable summary process or unlawful
detainer statutes, such notice shall also constitute the notice required by this Section 13.1(a).

          (b) The failure of Tenant to comply with any of its obligations under Sections 6.1, 6.2, 7.2,
7.3, 8, 11.3, 12, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26, 34, 35 and 56 and failure to cure the same within ten
(10) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant. In the event that Landlord serves
Tenant with a notice to pay rent or quit pursuant to applicable summary process or unlawful
detainer statutes, such notice shall also constitute the notice required by this Section 13.1(b).

          (c) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions
of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant (other than those referenced in Sections
13.1(a), (b) and (c), above), where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of
Tenant’s non-performance is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its
cure, then an Event of Default shall not be deemed to exist if Tenant commences such cure within
said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion. In the event
that Landlord serves Tenant with a notice to pay rent or quit pursuant to applicable summary
process or unlawful detainer statutes, such notice shall also constitute the notice required by
this Section 13.1(c).

          (d) (i) The making by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder of any
general arrangement or general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Tenant or any
guarantor becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 (the
“Bankruptcy Code”) or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed
against Tenant or guarantor, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment
of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the
Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within
thirty (30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure
is not discharged within thirty (30) days; (v) Tenant shall be adjudicated insolvent, or shall file
any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or future Federal, State or
other statute, law or regulation for the relief of debtors (other than the Bankruptcy Code), or
shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of
Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties, or shall admit in writing its inability
to pay its

29

 

debts generally as they become due; (vi) a petition shall be filed against Tenant under any law
other than the Bankruptcy Code seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future Federal, State or other
statute, law or regulation and shall remain undismissed or unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60)
days (whether or not consecutive), or if any trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator of Tenant
or of all or any substantial part of its properties shall be appointed without the consent or
acquiescence of Tenant and such appointment shall remain unvacated or unstayed for an aggregate of
sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive); or (vii) the occurrence of any of the events
described in this paragraph (e) with respect to any guarantor of all or any portion of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease. In the event that any provision of this Section 13.1(e) is
unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

          (e) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement, representation or warranty given
to Landlord by Tenant, or by any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, is or was materially
false. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has entered into this Lease in material reliance on such
information.

          (f) If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other business
entity, the dissolution or liquidation of Tenant.

          (g) If Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are guaranteed: (i) the death of a guarantor,
(ii) the termination of a guarantor’s liability with respect to this Lease other than in accordance
with the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a guarantor’s becoming insolvent or the subject of a
bankruptcy filing, (iv) a guarantor’s refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a guarantor’s breach of
its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory breach basis.

          (h) Even if, under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) above, Landlord satisfies the applicable notice
requirement by serving Tenant with a notice to pay rent or quit pursuant to applicable summary
process or unlawful detainer statutes, the period within Tenant may cure the failure in question
shall not be shorter by virtue of any such statute than the period set forth in paragraph (a), (b)
or (c) above, as applicable.

     13.2 Remedies.

          (a) In the event of any default or breach of this Lease by Tenant, continuing after any
applicable notice and grace period provided for by Section 13.1, Landlord may, at any time
thereafter, with or without notice or demand, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any
other right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default:

	 	(i)	 	terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which
case this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord; and Tenant covenants that in case of such
termination, Tenant shall continue to pay the rent,
additional charges and other sums payable hereunder (including, without limitation,
Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses increases and Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax
Increases) up to the time of such termination, and thereafter until the end of what would
have

30

 

	 	 	 	been the Expiration Date in the absence of such termination, which shall
be reduced by the net receipts (if any, after deducting all expenses of
reletting) actually received by Landlord from any replacement tenant. At
any time after such termination, Landlord may elect to recover from
Tenant, in lieu of all other rent so payable by Tenant hereunder, a lump
sum equal to the then net present value (computed using an interest rate
equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston plus one
percent (1%)) of the amount by which (x) the unpaid rent and all
additional charges which would have been payable hereunder from the date
of such election for what would have been the remainder of the Term of
this Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s share of Operating
Expenses increases and Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax Increases)
exceeds (y) the fair market rental value of the Premises as of the date
of such election. In addition Tenant shall be responsible for and pay on
demand any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its
obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things
would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, the
cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of releasing,
including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, any real estate commissions actually paid by Landlord
and the unamortized value of any free rent, reduced rent, tenant
improvement allowance or other economic concessions provided by Landlord.
For purposes of this Section 13.2(a)(i), “rent” shall be deemed to be all
monetary obligations required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms
of this Lease.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	collect sublease rents (or appoint a receiver to collect such rent) and
otherwise perform Tenant’s obligations at the Premises, it being agreed,
however, that the appointment of a receiver for Tenant shall not constitute an
election by Landlord to terminate this Lease; and/or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the
laws or judicial decisions of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

          (b) No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive, but shall, wherever possible,
be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity. The expiration or termination of this
Lease and/or the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall not relieve
Tenant of liability under any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or
accruing during the Term of this Lease or by reason of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.

31

 

          (c) If Tenant abandons the Premises, Landlord may re-enter the Premises and such re-entry
shall not be deemed to constitute Landlord’s election to accept a surrender of the Premises or to
otherwise relieve Tenant from liability for its breach of this Lease. No surrender of the Premises
shall be effective against Landlord unless Landlord has entered into a written agreement with
Tenant in which Landlord expressly agrees to (i) accept a surrender of the Premises and (ii)
relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease. The delivery by Tenant to Landlord of possession of
the Premises shall not constitute the termination of this Lease or the surrender of the Premises.

     13.3 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord
fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice by
Tenant to Landlord and to the Holder of any Mortgage encumbering the Property whose name and
address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord has
failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation
is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its cure, then Landlord shall not be in
default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursues the same to completion. This Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall
not be affected or impaired because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder
or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is caused by reason of strike or other labor
problems, acts of God, riot, insurrection, governmental actions or requirements, or any other cause
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and the time for Landlord’s performance shall be
extended for the period of any such delay.

     13.4 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Base
Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases, Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax increases
or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the
exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not
limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by
the terms of any mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Property. Accordingly, if any installment
of Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases, Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax
increases or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord within five (5)
business days of when due more than once in any twelve month period, then,
without any requirement for notice or demand to Tenant, Tenant shall immediately pay to
Landlord a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree
that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by
reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord
from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder including the assessment of
interest under Section 13.5.

     13.5 Interest on Past-due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any amount due to
Landlord that is not paid when due shall bear interest at the lesser of twelve percent (12%)
percent per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Payment of such interest shall
not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.

32

 

     13.6 Payment of Rent after Default. If Tenant fails to pay Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of
Operating Expense increases, Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax increases or any other monetary
obligation due hereunder on the date it is due, after Tenant’s third failure to pay any monetary
obligation on the date it is due, at Landlord’s option, all monetary obligations of Tenant
hereunder shall thereafter be paid by cashier’s check. If Landlord has required Tenant to make said
payments by cashier’s check, Tenant’s failure to make a payment by cashier’s check shall be a
material default hereunder.

14. Landlord’s Right to Cure Default; Payments by Tenant. All covenants and agreements to be kept
or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense and without any reduction of rent. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations
under this Lease, within a reasonable time after such performance is required by the terms of this
Lease (or immediately, in case of emergency), Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, after
ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant, (but no notice will be required in case of
emergency), make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s behalf without waiving its
rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations
hereunder. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to
Tenant of statements therefor, an amount equal to the expenditures reasonably made by Landlord in
connection with the remedying by Landlord of Tenant’s defaults pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 14.

15. Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain, or
sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called
“Condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning
authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs; provided that if so much of the
Premises is taken by Condemnation as would substantially and adversely affect the operation and
profitability of Tenant’s business conducted from the Premises, and said taking lasts for ninety
(90) days or more, Tenant shall have the option,
to be exercised only in writing within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant
written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the
condemning authority shall have taken possession), to terminate this Lease as of the date the
condemning authority takes such possession. If a taking lasts for less than ninety (90) days and
limits Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use, Tenant’s rent shall be abated in
proportion to such limitation during said period but Tenant shall not have the right to terminate
this Lease. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the
rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses shall be reduced in the proportion that the usable
floor area of the Premises taken bears to the total usable floor area of the Premises. Common Areas
taken shall be excluded from the Common Areas usable by Tenant and no reduction of rent shall occur
with respect thereto or by reason thereof. Landlord shall have the option in its sole discretion to
terminate this Lease as of the taking of possession by the condemning authority, by giving written
notice to Tenant of such election within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of a Condemnation
of any part of the Premises or the Property. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the
Premises or the Property under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the
exercise of such power shall be the property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as
compensation for

33

 

diminution in value of the leasehold, for good will, for the taking of the fee, as severance
damages, or as damages for tenant improvements; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to
any separate award for loss of or damage to Tenant’s removable personal property. In the event that
this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, and subject to the requirements of any
lender that has made a loan to Landlord encumbering the Property, Landlord shall to the extent of
severance damages received by Landlord in connection with such condemnation, repair any damage to
the Property caused by such Condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed
therefor by the condemning authority. Tenant shall pay any amount in excess of such severance
damages required to complete such repair. This Section 15 shall govern the rights and obligations
of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the condemnation of all or any portion of the Property.

16. Vehicle Parking.

     16.1 Use of Parking Facilities. During the term and subject to the rules and regulations
attached hereto as Exhibit “C,” as reasonably modified by Landlord from time to time (the “Rules”),
Tenant shall be entitled to use the number of parking spaces set forth in Section 1.19 in the
parking facility of the Office Park. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, designate the location
of any reserved parking spaces. For purposes of this Lease, a “parking space” refers to the space
in which one (1) motor vehicle is intended to park. If Tenant commits or allows in the parking
facility any of the activities prohibited by the Lease or the Rules, then Landlord shall have the
right, without notice, in addition
to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved
and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable by Tenant upon demand by
Landlord. Tenant’s parking rights are the personal rights of Tenant and Tenant shall not transfer,
assign, or otherwise convey its parking rights separate and apart from this Lease.

     16.2 Parking Charges. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

17. Broker’s Fee. Tenant and Landlord each represent and warrant to the other that neither has had
any dealings or entered into any agreements with any person, entity, broker or finder other than
the persons, if any, listed in Section 1.20, in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, and
no other broker, person, or entity is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with
the negotiation of this Lease, and Tenant and Landlord each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the
other harmless from and against any claims, damages, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees or liability
for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other
similar party by reason of any dealings, actions or agreements of the indemnifying party.

18. Estoppel Certificate.

     18.1 Delivery of Certificate. Each party shall from time to time, upon not less than fifteen
(15) days’ prior written notice from the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver to

34

 

Landlord a statement in writing certifying such information as Landlord may reasonably request
including, but not limited to, the following: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force
and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this
Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) (b) the date to which the Base Rent and other
charges are paid in advance and the amounts so payable, (c) that there are not, to the knowledge of
the certifying party, any uncured defaults or unfulfilled obligations on the part of the other, or
specifying such defaults or unfulfilled obligations, if any are claimed, (d) that all tenant
improvements to be constructed by Landlord, if any, have been completed in accordance with
Landlord’s obligations and (e) that Tenant has taken possession of the Premises. Any such statement
may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property.

     18.2 Failure to Deliver Certificate. At Landlord’s option, the failure of Tenant to deliver
such statement within such time shall constitute a material default of Tenant hereunder, or it
shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (b) there are no uncured defaults in
Landlord’s performance, (c) not more than one month’s Base Rent has been paid in advance, (d) all
tenant improvements to be constructed by Landlord, if
any, have been completed in accordance with Landlord’s obligations and (e) Tenant has taken
possession of the Premises.

19. Financial Information. . From time to time, at Landlord’s request, but not more frequently
than annually (unless in connection with a request by any actual or prospective purchaser, lender
or investor), Tenant shall cause the following financial information to be delivered to Landlord,
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, upon not less than ten (10) days’ advance written notice from
Landlord: (a) a current financial statement for Tenant, (b) a current financial statement for any
guarantor(s) of this Lease and (c) such other financial information pertaining to Tenant or any
guarantor as Landlord or any lender or purchaser of Landlord may reasonably request. All financial
statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by an
independent certified public accountant. Landlord agrees that any such financial information that
is not otherwise available to the public will be treated as confidential, and Landlord agrees that
(except for disclosure required by any applicable law or regulation or by order of any court or
governmental agency or officer) Landlord shall not disseminate any such financial information to
any party other than its attorneys, accountants and other consultants, or any prospective
purchaser, investor or lender of the Building.

20. Landlord’s Liability. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right to transfer all or
any portion of its interest in the Property and to assign this Lease to the transferee. Tenant
agrees that in the event of such a transfer Landlord shall automatically be released from all
liability under this Lease; and Tenant hereby agrees to look solely to Landlord’s transferee for
the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder after the date of the transfer. Upon such a
transfer, Landlord shall, at its option, return Tenant’s security deposit to Tenant or transfer
Tenant’s security deposit to Landlord’s transferee and, in either event, Landlord shall have no
further liability to Tenant for the return of its security deposit. Subject to the rights of any
lender holding a mortgage or deed of trust encumbering all or part of the Property, Tenant agrees
to

35

 

look solely to Landlord’s equity interest in the Property, and the rent, proceeds and other income
therefrom for the collection of any judgment requiring the payment of money by Landlord arising out
of (a) Landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or (b) the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its partners, employees and agents. No other property or assets of
Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of
any judgment or writ obtained by Tenant against Landlord. No partner, trustee, beneficiary,
officer, director, member, shareholder, employee or agent of Landlord shall be personally liable
for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder or be named as a party in any lawsuit
arising out of or related to, directly or indirectly, this Lease and the obligations of Landlord
hereunder. The obligations under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the
individual partners, trustees or shareholders, beneficiaries or members of Landlord, if any, and
Tenant shall not seek recourse against any of said persons or their assets.

21. Indemnity. (a) Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and its
employees, officers, directors, trustees, beneficiaries, members, partners, shareholders, agents,
contractors, lenders and ground lessors (said persons and entities are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability, loss, cost,
damage, claims, liens, judgments, penalties, fines, settlement costs, investigation costs, the cost
of consultants and experts, attorneys fees, court costs and other legal expenses, the effects of
environmental contamination, the cost of environmental testing, the removal, remediation and/or
abatement of Hazardous Substances (as said term is defined below), insurance policy deductibles and
other expenses (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Damages”) arising out of or related to an
“Indemnified Matter” (as defined below).

          (b) For purposes of this Section 21, an “Indemnified Matter” shall mean any matter for which
one or more of the Indemnified Parties incurs liability or Damages if the liability or Damages
arise out of or involve, directly or indirectly, (i) Tenant’s or its employees’, agents’,
contractors’ or invitees’ (all of said persons or entities are hereinafter collectively referred to
as “Tenant Parties”) use or occupancy of the Premises, Property or the Office Park, (ii) any act,
omission or neglect of a Tenant Party, (iii) Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations
under this Lease, (iv) the existence, use or disposal of any Hazardous Substance (as defined in
Section 23 below) brought on to the Property or the Office Park by a Tenant Party, or (v) any other
matters for which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord pursuant to any other provision of this
Lease. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall include, but shall not be limited to compensating the
Indemnified Parties for Damages arising out of Indemnified Matters within thirty (30) days after
written demand from an Indemnified Party, and providing a defense, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at Tenant’s sole expense, within thirty (30) days after
written demand from the Indemnified Party, of any claims, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to an Indemnified Matter whether or not litigated or reduced to judgment and whether or
not well founded.

(c) If Tenant is obligated to compensate an Indemnified Party for Damages arising out of an
Indemnified Matter, Landlord shall have the immediate and unconditional right, but not the
obligation, without notice or demand to Tenant, to pay the damages and Tenant shall, upon thirty
(30) days advance written notice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred by
Landlord. By way of example, and not limitation, Landlord shall have the immediate and

36

 

unconditional right to cause any damages to the Common Areas, another tenant’s premises or to any
other part of the Property or the Office Park to be repaired and to compensate other tenants of the
Property or other persons or entities for Damages arising out of an Indemnified Matter. The
Indemnified Parties need not first pay any Damages to
be indemnified hereunder. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 21 shall not be released, reduced
or otherwise limited because one or more of the Indemnified Parties are or may be actively or
passively negligent with respect to an Indemnified Matter or because an Indemnified Party is or was
partially responsible for the Damages incurred. This indemnity is intended to apply to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 21 shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease unless specifically waived in writing by Landlord after
said expiration or termination. In no event shall Tenant be required to indemnify and Indemnified
Party to the extent Damages are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party.

     (d) Subject to applicable waivers of claims and subrogation set forth in Section 8.4, Landlord
agrees to indemnify and save harmless Tenant from and against all claims, loss, cost, damage or
expense arising from any accident, bodily or personal injury or damage occurring in the common
areas on the Property, to the extent that such accident, damage or injury results from a negligent
act or omission or willful misconduct on the part of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees,
occurring after the Commencement Date until the end of the Term of this Lease. This indemnity and
hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and
liabilities incurred during the Term of this Lease in connection with any such claim or proceeding
brought thereon, and the defense thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and costs at both the trial and appellate levels.

22. Exemption of Landlord from Liability. Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be liable
for injury to Tenant’s business or any loss of income therefrom or for loss of or damage to the
merchandise, tenant improvements, fixtures, furniture, equipment, computers, files, automobiles, or
other property of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, or any other person
in or about the Property or the Office Park, nor shall Landlord be liable for injury to the person
of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, whether such damage or injury is
caused by or results from any cause whatsoever including, but not limited to, theft, criminal
activity at the Property or the Office Park, negligent security measures, bombings or bomb scares,
Hazardous Substances (as defined below), fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, flooding,
breakage of pipes, sprinklers, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon
other portions of the Property or the Office Park, or from other sources or places, or from new
construction or the repair, alteration or improvement of any part of the Property or the Office
Park. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any
employees, agents, contractors or invitees of any other tenant, occupant or user of the Property or
the Office Park, nor from the failure of Landlord to enforce the provisions of the lease of any
other tenant of the Property. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord
hereunder, hereby assumes all risk of damage to Tenant’s property or business or injury to persons,
in, upon or about the Property or the Office Park arising from any cause, except Landlord’s
negligence or the negligence of its employees or agents, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in
respect thereof against Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors.

37

 

23. Hazardous Substances.

     23.1 Definition and Consent. The term “Hazardous Substance” as used in this Lease shall mean
any product, substance, chemical, material or waste whose presence, nature, quantity and/or
intensity of existence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, spill, release or affect,
either by itself or in combination with other materials expected to be on the Premises, is either:
(a) potentially injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, the environment or the Premises,
(b) regulated or monitored by any governmental entity, (c) a basis for liability of Landlord to any
governmental entity or third party under any federal, state or local statute or common law theory
or (d) defined as a hazardous material or substance by any federal, state or local law or
regulation. Except for small quantities of ordinary office supplies such as copier toner, liquid
paper, glue, ink and common household cleaning materials, Tenant shall not cause or permit any
Hazardous Substance to be brought, kept, or used in or about the Premises or the Office Park by
Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees.

     23.2 Duty to Inform Landlord. If Tenant knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that a
Hazardous Substance, or a condition involving or resulting from same, has come to be located in, on
or under or about the Premises or the Property, Tenant shall immediately give written notice of
such fact to Landlord. Tenant shall also immediately give Landlord (without demand by Landlord) a
copy of any statement, report, notice, registration, application, permit, license, given to or
received from, any governmental authority or private party, or persons entering or occupying the
Premises, concerning the presence, spill, release, discharge of or exposure to, any Hazardous
Substance or contamination in, on or about the Premises or the Property.

     23.3 Inspection; Compliance. Landlord and Landlord’s employees, agent, contractors and lenders
shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time in the case of an emergency, and otherwise
at reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Premises and for verifying
compliance by Tenant with this Section 23. Landlord shall have the right to employ experts and/or
consultants in connection with its examination of the Premises and with respect to the
installation, operation, use, monitoring, remediation, maintenance, or removal of any Hazardous
Substance on or from the Premises. The costs and expenses of any such inspections shall be paid by
the party requesting same, unless a release, discharge or contamination, caused or materially
contributed to by Tenant, is found to exist or be imminent, or unless the inspection is requested
or ordered by governmental authority as the result of any such existing or imminent release,
discharge or contamination. In any such case, Tenant shall upon
request reimburse Landlord for the cost and expenses of such inspection.

24. Intentionally Omitted.

25. Tenant Improvements. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise
provided in Section 3.2 above, Landlord shall not be obligated to construct any tenant improvements
on behalf of Tenant unless a work letter agreement (the “Work Letter”) is attached to this Lease as
an exhibit and the Work Letter is fully completed and executed by Landlord. If a

38

 

space plan is attached to the Work Letter, the space plan shall not be binding on Landlord unless
separately initialed by Landlord. Except as set forth in a Work Letter, it is specifically
understood and agreed that Landlord has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel,
improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, the Property, or any part thereof, or to
provide any allowance for such purposes, and that no representations respecting the condition of
the Premises, Property or the Office Park have been made by Landlord to Tenant.

26. Subordination and Rights of Mortgagees.

     26.1 Effect of Subordination. This Lease, upon Landlord’s written election, shall be subject
and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or
security interest (any of the foregoing, a “Mortgage”) hereafter made of or with respect to or
placed on all or any part of the Property, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof
and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If any
Holder shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage and shall give written
notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage, whether this Lease is
dated prior or subsequent to the date of said Mortgage or the date of recording thereof. Landlord
represents to Tenant that as of the date hereof, the Premises are not encumbered by any Mortgage.
Upon request by Tenant (and at the sole cost and expense of Tenant), Landlord shall request and use
commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include the obligation to pay any fee or charge or
to agree to any less favorable terms or conditions in the secured indebtedness) to obtain an
agreement (a “SNDA”) for the benefit of Tenant an agreement from any future mortgagee on its
standard form then in use that, for so long as there exists no default beyond applicable grace
periods under this Lease by Tenant, and subject to such mortgagee’s customary exceptions and
qualifications, the mortgagee will not, in foreclosing against or taking possession of the Premises
or otherwise exercising its rights under such mortgage, terminate this Lease or disturb Tenant’s
possession of the Premises hereunder, or words of similar import. In the event of the foreclosure
of a Mortgage, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure of a Mortgage, or exercise of any similar remedy by
a Holder,
the new owner of the Property as a result of such exercise shall not (a) be liable for any act
or omission of any prior landlord or with respect to events occurring prior to its acquisition of
title, (b) be liable for the breach of this Lease by any prior landlord, (c) be subject to any
offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against the prior landlord or (d) be liable to Tenant for
the return of its security deposit. At the request of any such new owner, Tenant shall attorn to
such new owner.

     26.2 Execution of Documents. Tenant agrees to execute and acknowledge any documents Landlord
reasonably requests that Tenant execute to effectuate an attornment, a subordination, or to make
this Lease prior to the lien of any Mortgage, as the case may be. Tenant acknowledges that any such
agreement may give a Holder the right, in the Holder’s sole discretion, to continue this Lease in
effect or to terminate this Lease in the event of a foreclosure sale. Tenant’s failure to execute
such documents within ten (10) business days after written demand shall, at Landlord’s option,
constitute an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder

     26.3 Assignment to Mortgagee. With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s
interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or

39

 

otherwise, which assignment is made to the Holder of a Mortgage on property which includes the
Premises, Tenant agrees that the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the
Holder of such Mortgage shall never be treated as an assumption by such Holder of any of the
obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such Holder shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically
otherwise elect and, except as aforesaid, such Holder shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s
obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s Mortgage and the taking of possession
of the Premises.

     26.4 Sale Leaseback. In no event shall the acquisition of Landlord’s interest in the Property
by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases Landlord’s entire interest in the Property
back to the seller thereof be treated as an assumption, by operation of law or otherwise, of
Landlord’s obligations hereunder, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, and its
successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. For all
purposes, such seller-lessee, and its successors in title, shall be the Landlord hereunder unless
and until Landlord’s position shall have been assumed by such purchaser-lessor.

     26.5 Cure by Mortgagee. The curing of any default of Landlord’s under this Lease by any Holder
shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

27. Option to Extend.

     27.1 Tenant’s Right. Provided that, at the time of such exercise and at the commencement of
the Extended Term, (i) there exists no Event of Default, and (ii) Tenant shall not have assigned
this Lease or sublet more than thirty percent (30%) of the Premises (other than in connection with
respect to which Landlord’s consent is not required under Section 12.2), and (iii) this Lease is
still in full force and effect, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of this Lease for
one extended term (the “Extended Term”) of two (2) years. The Extended Term shall commence on the
day following the Expiration Date, and shall end on the date that is two years following such date.
Tenant shall exercise such option to extend by giving written notice to Landlord not later than
nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date. The giving of such notice by Tenant shall
automatically and irrevocably extend the Term of this Lease for the Extended Term and no instrument
of renewal need be executed. In the event that Tenant fails to give such notice to Landlord, this
Lease shall automatically terminate on the Expiration Date, and Tenant shall have no further option
to extend the Term of this Lease, it being agreed that time shall be of the essence in the giving
of any such notice. The Extended Term shall be on all the terms and conditions of this Lease
(including without limitation that Tenant’s Share of increases in Operating Expenses and Taxes
shall continue to be calculated using the Base Years set forth in Section 1.18), except that the
Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be determined pursuant to
Section 27.2 hereof.

     27.2 Rental Etc. (a) The annual Base Rent for each year of the Extended Term shall be the Fair
Market Rental Value of the Premises (exclusive of the cost of supplying Tenant electricity, if and
to the extent the same is paid separately by Tenant), to be established as of the commencement of
the Extended Term (the “Determination Date”). The term “Fair Market Rental Value” shall mean the
annual fixed rent that a willing tenant would pay and a willing landlord would accept, each acting
in its own best interest and without duress, in an arms-length lease of the

40

 

Premises as of the Determination Date. If Landlord and Tenant shall fail to agree upon the Fair
Market Rental Value within six (6) months before the Determination Date, then Landlord and Tenant
each shall give notice (the “Determination Notice”) to the other setting forth their respective
determinations of the Fair Market Rental Value, and, subject to the provisions of paragraph (b)
below, either party may apply to the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereto for
the designation of an arbitrator satisfactory to both parties to render a final determination of
the Fair Market Rental Value. The fair market rental value shall be determined by arbitration in
accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, except
that there shall be only one arbitrator, who shall have had at least ten (10) years’ experience as
a real estate broker or appraiser in the greater Route 128/Metrowest area. The arbitrator shall
conduct such hearings and investigations as the arbitrator shall deem appropriate and shall, within
thirty (30) days after having been appointed, choose one of
the determinations set forth in either Landlord’s or Tenant’s Determination Notice, and that choice
by the arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own counsel
fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any arbitration under this paragraph (a), and the
parties shall share equally all other expenses and fees of any such arbitration. The determination
rendered in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (a) shall be final and binding in
fixing the Fair Market Rental Value. The arbitrator shall not have the power to add to, modify, or
change any of the provisions of this Lease. In no event, however, shall the Base Rent during any
portion of the Extended Term be less than the Base Rent in effect during the last year of the
Initial Term.

          (b) In the event that the determination of the Fair Market Rental Value set forth in the
Landlord’s and Tenant’s Determination Notices shall differ by less than five percent (5%) per
square foot of Premises Rentable Area per annum for each year for which the same is being
determined, then the Fair Market Rental Value shall not be determined by arbitration, but shall
instead be set by taking the average of the determinations set forth in Landlord’s and Tenant’s
Determination Notices. Only if the determinations set forth in Landlord’s and Tenant’s
Determination Notices shall differ by more than five percent (5%) per square foot of Premises
Rentable area per annum for any year for which the same is being determined shall the actual
determination of Fair Market Rental Value be made by an arbitrator as set forth in paragraph (a)
above.

     (c) If for any reason the Fair Market Rental Value shall not have been determined prior to the
Determination Date, then, until the Fair Market Rental Value and, accordingly, the Base Rent, shall
have been finally determined, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at the rate quoted by Landlord in
Landlord’s Determination Notice. Upon final determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, an
appropriate adjustment to the Base Rent theretofore paid by Tenant from and after the Determination
Date shall be made reflecting such final determination, and Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be,
shall promptly credit or pay, respectively, to the other any overpayment of deficiency, as the case
may be, in the payment of Base Rent from the Determination Date to the date of such final
determination.

     28. Landlord Reservations. Landlord shall have the right: (a) to change the name and address of the
Property or Building upon not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice; (b) to provide and
install Building standard signs and graphics on or near the door of the Premises and such portions
of the Common Areas as Landlord shall determine, in Landlord’s sole

41

 

discretion; (c) to permit any tenant the exclusive right to conduct any business as long as such
exclusive right does not conflict with any rights expressly given herein; and (d) to place signs,
notices or displays upon the roof, interior, exterior or Common Areas of the Building. Tenant shall
not use a representation (photographic or otherwise) of the Building or the Office Park or their
name(s) in connection with Tenant’s business or
suffer or permit anyone, except in an emergency, to go upon the roof of the Building. Landlord
reserves the right to use the exterior walls of the Premises, and the area beneath, adjacent to and
above the Premises together with the right to install, use, maintain and replace equipment,
machinery, pipes, conduits and wiring through the Premises, which serve other parts of the
Property, provided that Landlord’s use does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the
Premises.

29. Changes to Property. Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, from time to
time, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to make changes to the size, shape, location, number
and extent of the improvements comprising the Property (hereinafter referred to as “Changes”)
including, but not limited to, the Building interior and exterior, the Common Areas, elevators,
escalators, restrooms, HVAC, electrical systems, communication systems, fire protection and
detection systems, plumbing systems, security systems, parking control systems, driveways,
entrances, parking spaces, parking areas and landscaped areas. In connection with the Changes,
Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures at the Building,
limit or eliminate access to portions of the Building or Property, including portions of the Common
Areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the
Building. Provided that Landlord performs any such work in accordance with the requirements of this
Lease, Tenant hereby agrees that such Changes and Landlord’s actions in connection with such
Changes shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant or entitle Tenant to any
abatement of rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for
any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Changes,
nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for any inconvenience or
annoyance occasioned by such Changes or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Changes,
provided and on condition that Landlord shall perform any such work so as to minimize interference
with the conduct of Tenant’s business in connection with any of the foregoing.

30. Intentionally Omitted.

31. Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after
the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from
month to month upon all the terms and conditions of this Lease pertaining to the obligations of
Tenant, except that the Base Rent payable shall be the greater of (a) one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the Base Rent payable immediately preceding the Termination Date of this Lease or (b) one
hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the fair market Base Rent for the Premises as of the date
Tenant holds over, and all Options, if any, shall be deemed terminated and be of no further effect.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute Landlord’s consent to Tenant holding over
at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term or to give Tenant the right to hold over
after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term. Tenant hereby

42

 

agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any cost, loss, claim or liability
(including attorneys’ fees) Landlord may incur as a result of Tenant’s failure to surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord upon the termination of this Lease.

32. Landlord’s Access.

     32.1 Access. Landlord and Landlord’s agents, contractors and employees shall have the right to
enter the Premises at reasonable times upon reasonably prior notice, for the purpose of inspecting
the Premises, performing any services required of Landlord, showing the Premises to prospective
purchasers or lenders, undertaking safety measures and making alterations, repairs, improvements or
additions to the Premises or to the Office Park. In the event of an emergency, Landlord may gain
access to the Premises by any reasonable means, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for
damage to the Premises or to Tenant’s property resulting from such access. Landlord may at any time
place on or about the Building for sale or for lease signs and Landlord may at any time during the
last one hundred twenty (120) days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises for lease
signs.

     32.2 Keys. Landlord shall have the right to retain keys and electric codes or card keys to the
locks, card key access systems and other security systems on the entry doors to the Premises and
all interior doors at the Premises. At Landlord’s option, Landlord may require Tenant to obtain all
keys to door locks at the Premises from Landlord’s engineering staff or Landlord’s locksmith and to
only use Landlord’s engineering staff or Landlord’s locksmith to change locks at the Premises.
Tenant shall pay Landlord’s or its locksmith’s standard charge for all keys and other services
obtained from Landlord’s engineering staff or locksmith.

33. Security Measures. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever
to provide guard service or other security measures for the benefit of the Premises or the
Property, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant due to its failure to provide such
services. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant, its agents, employees,
contractors and invitees and the property of Tenant and of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors
and invitees from acts of third parties. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Landlord, at
Landlord’s sole option, from implementing security measures for the Property or any part thereof,
in which event Tenant shall participate in such security measures and the cost thereof shall be
included within the definition of Operating Expenses, and Landlord shall have no liability to
Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors and invitees arising out of Landlord’s negligent
provision of security measures. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require
all persons entering or leaving the Property to identify themselves to a security guard and to
reasonably establish that such person should be permitted access to the Property.

34. Easements. Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such easements,
rights and dedications that Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and to cause the recordation of
parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions
do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Tenant. Tenant shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request and

43

 

Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute a material default by Tenant. The obstruction of
Tenant’s view, air, or light by any structure erected in the vicinity of the Building, whether by
Landlord or third parties, shall in no way affect this Lease or impose any liability upon Landlord.

35. Transportation Management. Tenant shall fully comply at its sole expense with all present or
future programs implemented or required by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or
Landlord to manage parking, transportation, air pollution, or traffic in and around the Property or
the metropolitan area in which the Property is located.

36. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

37. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each of the obligations to be performed
by Tenant under this Lease.

38. Definition of Additional Rent. All monetary obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the terms
of this Lease, including, but not limited to, Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and
Tenant’s Share of Real Property Tax increases, shall be deemed to be rent.

39. Incorporation of Prior Agreements. This Lease and the attachments listed in Section 1.17
contain all agreements of the parties with respect to the lease of the Premises and any other
matter mentioned herein. No prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any
such matter shall be effective. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Tenant hereby
acknowledges that no real estate broker nor Landlord or any employee or agents of any of said
persons has made any oral or written warranties or representations to Tenant concerning the
condition or use by Tenant of the Premises or the Property or concerning any other matter addressed
by this Lease.

40. Amendments. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at
the time of the modification.

41. Notices. All notices required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing and may be
delivered (a) in person (by hand, by messenger or by courier service), (b) by U.S.
Postal Service certified mail, return receipt requested, or (c) by U.S. Postal Service Express
Mail, Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight courier, and shall be deemed
sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in this Section 41. Any notice permitted or
required hereunder, and any notice to pay rent or quit or similar notice, shall be deemed
personally delivered to Tenant on the date the notice is personally delivered to any employee of
Tenant at the Premises. The addresses set forth in Section 1.22 of this Lease shall be the address
of each party for notice purposes. Landlord or Tenant may by written notice to the other specify a
different address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to
either party hereunder

44

 

shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as such other party
may from time to time hereinafter designate by written notice to the other party. Any notice sent
by certified mail, return receipt requested, shall be deemed given three (3) days after deposited
with the U.S. Postal Service. Notices delivered by U.S. Express Mail, Federal Express or other
nationally recognized courier shall be deemed given on the date delivered by the carrier or the
date delivery is refused at the appropriate party’s address for notice purposes. If notice is
received on Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next business
day. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit Landlord’s right to serve any notice to
pay rent or quit or similar notice by any method permitted by applicable law, and any such notice
shall be effective if served in accordance with any method permitted by applicable law whether or
not the requirements of this Section 41 have been met.

42. Waivers. No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other
provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision.
Landlord’s consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the
obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of
rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision
hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of
Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No acceptance
by Landlord of partial payment of any sum due from Tenant shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of
its right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or
accompanying letter from Tenant be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Tenant hereby waives for
Tenant and all those claiming under Tenant all rights now or hereafter existing to redeem by order
or judgment of any court or by legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises
after any termination of this Lease or to otherwise obtain relief from the forfeiture or
termination of the Lease.

43. Covenants. This Lease shall be construed as though Landlord’s covenants contained herein are
independent and not dependent and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant hereby waives
the benefit of any statute or other law to the contrary. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not have
any right to terminate this Lease on account of any
default or breach by Landlord of its obligations hereunder, and that Tenant’s remedies in the case
of such a default or breach shall be limited to an action against Landlord for damages.

44.
Binding Effect; Choice of Law.

Subject to any provision hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Tenant, this Lease
shall
bind the parties, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall
be governed by the laws of the state in which the Property is located and any litigation concerning
this Lease between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the county in which the Property is
located.

45. Attorneys’ Fees. If Landlord or Tenant brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or declare
rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action, or appeal thereon, shall be

45

 

entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs to be paid by the losing party as fixed
by the court in the same or separate suit, and whether or not such action is pursued to decision or
judgment. The attorneys’ fee award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule,
but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys’ fees and court costs reasonably incurred in
good faith. Landlord shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and
expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of default and consultations in
connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced in connection with
such default. Landlord and Tenant agree that attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to defaults and
bankruptcy are actual pecuniary losses within the meaning of Section 365(b)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy
Code or any successor statute.

46. Auctions. Tenant shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises or the Common Areas. The holding of any auction on the
Premises or Common Areas in violation of this Section 46 shall constitute a material default
hereunder.

47. Signs. Landlord will provide building standard directory signage and elevator lobby signage
containing the name of Tenant, at Landlord’s expense. Tenant shall not place any sign upon the
Premises (including on the inside or the outside of the doors or windows of the Premises) or the
Building without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s
sole discretion. Landlord shall have the right to place any sign it deems appropriate on any
portion of the Building or the Property except the interior of the Premises. Any sign Landlord
permits Tenant to place upon the Premises
shall be maintained by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense. If Landlord permits Tenant to include its
name in the Building’s directory, the cost of placing Tenant’s name in the directory and the cost
of any subsequent modifications thereto shall be paid by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense.

48. Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation
thereof, or a termination by Landlord, shall not result in the merger of Landlord’s and Tenant’s
estates, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subtenancies or may,
at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subtenancies.

49. Quiet Possession. Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, and subject to the rights of any
lender, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to
all of the provisions of this Lease.

50. Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, trust, limited liability company or general or limited
partnership, Tenant represents and warrants that such individual is duly authorized to execute and
deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity, that said entity is duly authorized to enter into this
Lease, and that this Lease is enforceable against said entity in accordance with its terms. If
Tenant is a corporation, trust, limited liability company or partnership, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord upon demand evidence of such authority satisfactory to Landlord.

46

 

51. Conflict. Except as otherwise provided herein to the contrary, any conflict between the printed
provisions, exhibits, addenda or riders of this Lease and the typewritten or handwritten
provisions, if any, shall be controlled by the typewritten or handwritten provisions.

52. Multiple Parties. If more than one person or entity is named as Tenant herein, the obligations
of Tenant shall be the joint and several responsibilities of all persons or entities named herein
as Tenant. Service of a notice in accordance with Section 41 on one Tenant shall be deemed service
of notice on all Tenants.

53. Interpretation. This Lease shall be interpreted as if it was prepared by both parties and
ambiguities shall not be resolved in favor of Tenant because all or a portion of this Lease was
prepared by Landlord. The captions contained in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not
be deemed to limit or alter the meaning of this Lease. As used in this Lease the words tenant and
landlord include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in the neuter gender include the
masculine and feminine gender.

54. Prohibition Against Recording. Neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other
writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on
behalf of Tenant. Either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to
record a notice of this Lease, and the other party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
party requesting same for recording any such notice.

55. Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the
parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent,
partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant.

56. Rules and Regulations. Tenant agrees to abide by and conform to the Rules and to cause its
employees, suppliers, customers and invitees to so abide and conform. Landlord shall have the
right, from time to time, to modify, amend and enforce the Rules in a non-discriminatory manner.
Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the failure of other persons including, but not
limited to, other tenants, their agents, employees and invitees to comply with the Rules.

57. Right to Lease. Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the
Building or the Property as Landlord in its sole discretion shall determine, and Tenant is not
relying on any representation that any specific tenant or number of tenants will occupy the
Building or the Property.

58. Omitted.

47

 

59. Security for Performance of Tenant’s Obligations. Notwithstanding any security deposit held by
Landlord pursuant to Section 5 and any security interest held by Landlord pursuant to Section 58,
Tenant hereby agrees that in the event of a default by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to seek
and obtain a writ of attachment and/or a temporary protective order.

60. Attachments. The items listed in Section 1.21 are a part of this Lease and are incorporated
herein by this reference.

61. Costs Related to Tenant Requests. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon request for the
reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of any Tenant request,
including, for example, legal fees and expenses incurred to review an assignment or subletting
request or architectural and engineering fees incurred to review a proposed alteration by Tenant.

62. Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential
and constitute propriety information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms hereof could adversely
affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases with respect to the Office Park and may
impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants of the Office Park. Tenant agrees that it and its
partners, officers, directors, employees, brokers, and attorneys, if any, shall not disclose the
terms and conditions of this Lease to any other person or entity without the prior written consent
of Landlord which may be given or
withheld by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion. It is understood and agreed that damages alone
would be an inadequate remedy for the breach of this provision by Tenant, and Landlord shall also
have the right to seek specific performance of this provision and to seek injunctive relief to
prevent its breach or continued breach.

63. Waiver Of Jury Trial. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-COMPLAINT IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING AND/OR
HEARING BROUGHT BY EITHER LANDLORD AGAINST TENANT OR TENANT AGAINST LANDLORD ON ANY MATTER
WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD
AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, OR THE
ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY UNDER ANY LAW, STATUTE, OR REGULATION, EMERGENCY OR OTHERWISE, NOW OR
HEREAFTER IN EFFECT. LANDLORD AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND REVIEWED
THIS LEASE AND EACH TERM AND PROVISION CONTAINED HEREIN AND, BY EXECUTION OF THIS LEASE, SHOW THEIR
INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY CONSENT THERETO. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT, AT THE TIME THIS LEASE IS
EXECUTED, THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE ARE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE AND EFFECTUATE THE INTENT AND
PURPOSE OF LANDLORD AND TENANT WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN
GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS LEASE REVIEWED BY ITS LEGAL COUNSEL PRIOR TO ITS EXECUTION.

48

 

PREPARATION OF THIS LEASE BY LANDLORD OR LANDLORD’S AGENT AND SUBMISSION OF SAME TO TENANT SHALL
NOT BE DEEMED AN OFFER BY LANDLORD TO LEASE THE PREMISES TO TENANT OR THE GRANT OF AN OPTION TO
TENANT TO LEASE THE PREMISES. THIS LEASE SHALL BECOME BINDING UPON LANDLORD ONLY WHEN FULLY
EXECUTED BY BOTH PARTIES AND WHEN LANDLORD HAS DELIVERED A FULLY EXECUTED ORIGINAL OF THIS LEASE TO
TENANT.

64. Access To Premises. Tenant shall have access to the Premises 24 hours a day, 7 days per week,
but such access shall always be subject to reasonable rules and regulations from time to time
established for the Building by Landlord (and shall be subject to interruption due to causes beyond
Landlord’s reasonable control).

Property may be refused unless the person seeking access has proper identification or has a
previously received authorization for access to the Building or the Property. Landlord and its
agents shall in no case be liable for damages for any error with regard to the admission to or
exclusion from the Building or the Property of any person. In case of invasion, mob, riot, public

protection of life and property.

     4. Landlord reserves the right, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, to close or limit

persons or property or due to government order or directive, and Tenant agrees to immediately
comply with any such decision by Landlord. If Landlord closes or limits access to the Building, the

beverages for employees and visitors of Tenant, provided that such use is in accordance with all
applicable federal, state and city laws, codes, ordinances, rules and

54

 

regulations; and provided further that such cooking does not result in odors escaping from the

employees as “fire wardens” and requiring them to attend any necessary classes and meetings and to
perform any required functions.

PARKING RULES

     1. Parking areas shall be used only for parking by vehicles no longer than full size,
passenger automobiles or minivans. Tenant and its employees shall park automobiles within the lines
of the parking spaces.

     2. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are
controlled by
Tenant or Tenant’s employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, or invitees to be loaded, unloaded,
or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. Users of the
parking area will obey all posted signs and park only in the areas designated for vehicle parking.

     3. Parking stickers, parking cards and other identification devices shall be the property of
Landlord and shall be returned to Landlord by the holder thereof upon termination of the holder’s
parking privileges. Landlord may require Tenant and each of its employees to give Landlord a
deposit when a parking card or other parking device is issued. Landlord shall not be obligated to
return the deposit unless and until the parking card or other device is returned to Landlord.
Tenant will pay such replacement charges as is reasonably established by Landlord for the loss of
such devices. Loss or theft of parking identification stickers or devices from automobiles must be
reported to the parking operator immediately. Any parking identification stickers or devices
reported lost or stolen found on any unauthorized car will be confiscated and the illegal holder

and tandem spaces, as long as the same complies with applicable laws, ordinances and regulations.

56

 

     5. Unless otherwise instructed, every person using the parking area is required to park and lock
his own vehicle. Landlord will not be responsible for any damage to vehicles, injury to persons or
loss of property, all of which risks are assumed by the party using the parking area.

Only persons visiting Tenant at the Premises shall be permitted by Tenant to use the Property’s
visitor parking facilities.

Common Areas is prohibited.

     8. Tenant shall be responsible for seeing that all of its employees, agents and invitees
comply with the applicable parking rules, regulations, laws and agreements. Parking area managers
or attendants, if any, are not authorized to make or allow any exceptions to these Parking Rules
and Regulations. Landlord reserves the right to terminate parking rights for any person or entity
that willfully refuses to comply with these rules and regulations.

     9. Every driver is required to park his own car. Tenant agrees that all responsibility for
damage to cars or the theft of or from cars is assumed by the driver, and further agrees that
Tenant will hold Landlord harmless for any such damages or theft.

     10. Any vehicle parked by Tenant, its employees, contractors or visitors in a reserved parking
space or in any area of the parking area that is not designated for the parking of such a vehicle
may, at Landlord’s option, and without notice or demand, be towed away by any towing company
selected by Landlord, and the cost of such towing shall be paid for by Tenant and/or the driver of
said vehicle.

     11. At Landlord’s request from time to time, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a list which
includes the name of each person using the parking facilities based on Tenant’s parking rights
under this Lease and the license plate number of the vehicle being used by that person.

     Landlord reserves the right at any time to change or rescind any one or more of these Rules
and Regulations, or to make such other and further reasonable Rules and Regulations as in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment may from time to time be necessary for the management, safety, care
and cleanliness of the Property, and for the preservation of good order therein, as well as for the
convenience of other occupants and tenants therein. Landlord may waive any one or more of these
Rules and Regulations for the benefit of any particular tenant, but no such waiver by Landlord
shall be construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of any other tenant, nor
prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any such Rules or Regulations against any or all tenants
of the Property. Tenant shall be deemed to have read these Rules and Regulations and to have agreed
to abide by them as a condition of its occupancy of the Premises.

2005 (the “Lease”), Landlord did lease to Tenant and Tenant did lease from
Landlord 12,833 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Premises”) on
the first (1st) floor of the building (the “Building”) known as Prospect Place and
numbered 230 Third Avenue, Waltham, Massachusetts (referred to in the Lease as the “Premises” and
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Relinquished Premises”).

Landlord and Tenant have agreed to terminate the Lease with regard to the entire Relinquished
Premises and Tenant has determined to lease from Landlord the 19,931 square feet of rentable floor
area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the New Premises”) on the second (2nd) floor of the
Building (the “New Premises”) shown on Exhibit A attached hereto upon the terms and conditions
contained in this First Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment”).

In addition, the Lease provides for a Term which will expire unless extended or sooner terminated,
on October 31, 2008. Landlord and Tenant desire to extend the Term of the Lease as amended and to
provide Tenant with an option to further extend the Term upon the terms contained in this First
Amendment.

Landlord and Tenant are entering into this instrument to set forth said agreements and to further
amend the Lease.

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

	1.	 	As of June 1, 2006 (the “New Premises Commencement Date”) the New Premises shall constitute
the “Premises” demised to Tenant under the Lease and as of the “Reduction Date” (as defined in
Section 2 hereof) the Relinquished Premises shall no longer be deemed to be a part of and
shall be deleted and removed from the “Premises” demised to Tenant under the Lease. By way of
example, the option to extend the Term provided in Section 4 hereinbelow shall apply to the
New Premises but not to the Relinquished Premises.

	2.	 	On or prior to the New Premises Commencement Date (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the
“Reduction Date”), Tenant shall quit and vacate the Relinquished Premises and surrender the
same in the condition required by the Lease upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term.

1

 

	3.	 	The Term, which but for this First Amendment is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2008, is
hereby extended for a period commencing on November 1, 2008 and expiring on May 31, 2009 (the
“Third Extended Term”) unless sooner extended or terminated in accordance with the provisions
of the Lease as herein amended, such extension to be upon all the same terms and conditions
set forth in the Lease except as otherwise provided in this First Amendment.

	4.	 	(A) Provided that at the time of exercise of the option to extend and at the commencement
date of the extension option period (i) an Event of Default of Tenant does not exist (as set
forth in Section 13.1 of the Lease), (ii) the Lease is still in full force and effect, and
(iii) Tenant has neither assigned the Lease nor sublet more than twenty-five percent (25%) of
the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises (except for an assignment or subletting permitted
without Landlord’s consent under Section 12.2 of the Lease), Tenant shall have the right to
extend the Term of the Lease upon all the same terms, conditions, covenants and agreements
contained in the Lease (except for the Base Rent which shall be adjusted during the option
period as hereinbelow set forth) for one (1) period of three (3) years as hereinafter set
forth. The option period is sometimes herein referred to as the “Second Extended Term”.

(B) If Tenant desires to exercise the option to extend the Term, then Tenant shall give
notice to Landlord, not earlier than twelve (12) months nor later than nine (9) months
prior to the expiration of the First Extended Term exercising such option to extend.
Promptly after Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice, Landlord shall provide Landlord’s
quotation to Tenant of a proposed annual rent for the Second Extended Term (“Landlord’s
Rent Quotation”). If at the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date when Landlord
provides such quotation to Tenant (the “Negotiation Period”), Landlord and Tenant have not
reached agreement on a determination of an annual rental for the Second Extended Term and
executed a written instrument extending the Term of the Lease pursuant to such agreement,
then Tenant shall have the right, for thirty (30) days following the expiration of the
Negotiation Period, to make a request to Landlord for a broker determination (the “Broker
Determination”) of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit C) for the Second
Extended Term, which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth in Exhibit
C. If Tenant timely shall have requested the Broker Determination, then the base rent for
the Second Extended Term shall be the greater of (a) 95% of the Prevailing Market Rent as
determined by the Broker Determination or (b) the base rent in effect during the last year
of the First Extended Term. If Tenant does not timely request the Broker Determination,
then base rent during the Second Extended Term shall be equal to the greater of (a)
Landlord’s Rent Quotation or (b) the Base rent in effect during the last year of the First
Extended Term.

(C) Upon the giving of the Exercise Notice by Tenant to Landlord exercising Tenant’s option to
extend the Term in accordance with the provisions of Section B above, then the Lease and the Term
shall automatically be deemed extended, for the Second Extended Term, without the necessity for the
execution of any additional documents, except that Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into an
instrument in writing setting forth
the Base rent for the Second Extended Term as determined in the relevant manner set forth in this
Section 4; and in such event all references herein to the Term or the term of the Lease shall be
construed as referring to the Term, as so extended, unless the context clearly otherwise requires,
and except that there shall be no further option to extend the Term. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, and in no event shall the Term hereof be extended for more than
three (3) years after the expiration of the First Extended Term hereof.

2

 

	5.	 	(A) Base Rent for the Relinquished Premises shall continue to be payable through the
Reduction Date, as provided in the Lease. Subsequent to the Reduction Date, Base Rent shall no
longer be payable for the Relinquished Premises, however, Section 1.14 of the Lease shall be
amended to provide for the Base Rent to be payable for the New Premises for such period as set
forth in (B) hereinbelow.

	 	(B)	(i)	 	From the New Premises Commencement Date through September 30, 2006, Base Rent for
the New Premises shall be payable at the annual rate of $256,711.28 (being the product of
(a) $12.88 and (b) the Rentable Floor Area of the New Premises (being 19,931 square feet)).

	 	(ii)	 	From October 1, 2006 through November 30, 2006, Base Rent for the New Premises
shall be payable at the annual rate of $269,467.12 (being the product of (a) $13.52
and (b) the Rentable Floor Area of the New Premises).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	From December 1, 2006 through the expiration of the First Extended Term, Base
Rent for the New Premises shall be payable at the annual rate of $597,930.00 (being
the product of (a) $30.00 and (b) the Rentable Floor Area of the New Premises).

	 	(C)	 	During the Second Extended Term (if exercised), Base Rent shall be payable as provided
in Section 4 hereof.

	6.	 	As of the New Premises Commencement Date, “Tenant’s Share” as defined in Section 17 of the
Lease is hereby changed to 7.16%.

	7.	 	(A) For purposes of calculating Tenant’s share of Operating Expense increases pursuant to
Section 4.2 of the Lease for that portion of the Term prior to December 1, 2006, the
definition of “Operating Expense Base Year” contained in Section 1.18 of the Lease shall be
unchanged. For that portion of the Term on and after December 1, 2006, for such purposes, such
definition contained in Section 1.18 of the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

Operating Expense Base Year:                     Calendar Year 2006

(B) For purposes of calculating Tenant’s share of Real Estate Property Taxes pursuant to
Section 10.1 of the Lease, for that portion of the Term prior to December 1, 2006, the
definition of “Tax Base Year” contained in Section 1.18 of the Lease shall remain
unchanged. For that portion of the Term on and after December 1, 2006, for such purposes,
such definition contained in Section 1.18 of the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:

Tax Base Year:                     Fiscal Year 2007

	8.	 	As of the New Premises Commencement Date, the “Number of Tenant Parking Spaces” as defined in
Section 1.19 of the Lease shall be increased to be: sixty (60) spaces (3.0 parking spaces per
1,000 feet of Premises Rentable Area) to be used in common and on an
unassigned basis.

3

 

	9.	 	As of June 1, 2006, the space located on the first (1st) floor of the Building
shown on Exhibit B attached hereto will be vacant (“Offer Space”). If Landlord is in
discussions with a prospective tenant which Landlord feels will lead to a lease transaction
respecting the Offer Space, Landlord shall send notice to Tenant offering such space to Tenant
for lease and shall advise Tenant of the “Annual Market Rent” (defined hereinbelow) and other
business terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space (“Landlord’s Offer Notice”).
The Annual Market Rent shall be the annual fair market rent for such space as of the date
Landlord sends Landlord’s Offer Notice based upon the use of such space as first class office
space utilizing properties of similar character within the Boston West Suburban market. If
Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer, Tenant may do so, if at all, by
giving Landlord notice of Tenant’s desire to lease the entire amount of such space (it being
agreed that Tenant has no right to lease less than the entire amount of the space so offered)
on the terms provided herein within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of Landlord’s
Offer Notice, time being of the essence provided that (i) no “Event of Default” (as defined in
Section 13.1) exists, (ii) Tenant has not assigned the Lease or sublet more than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises (except for an assignment or
subletting permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Lease), and
(iii) the Lease is still in full force and effect. If Tenant shall give such notice and Tenant
has met the conditions of (i), (ii) and (iii) in the preceding sentence, the same shall
constitute an agreement to enter into an instrument in writing to lease such space within
thirty (30) days thereafter upon all of the same terms and conditions in the Lease except for
the provisions of this Section, the Base Rent which shall be equal to the Annual Market Rent
as quoted by Landlord, such other business terms set forth in Landlord’s notice as aforesaid
and those provisions which are inappropriate to the business agreement. If Tenant shall not
exercise such right within such period, time being of the essence in respect to such exercise,
Landlord shall be free for ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord’s Notice upon an annual
fixed rent which is no less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the annual fixed rent contained
in Landlord’s Notice without again offering such space to Tenant for lease, it being agreed
that if Landlord does not so lease such space during such ninety (90) day period or if
Landlord proposes to lease such space at a rate which is less than ninety-five percent (95%)
of the annual fixed rent contained in Landlord’s Notice during such ninety (90) day period,
the terms of this Section shall continue to apply to such first offer space.

	10.	 	Tenant shall accept the New Premises as of the New Premises Commencement Date in their as-is
condition without any obligation on the Landlord’s part to perform any additions, alterations,
improvements, demolition or other work therein or pertaining thereto.

11.   Section 7.3(f) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Landlord shall provide to Tenant a special allowance equal to $96,247.50 (the
“Tenant Allowance”). The Tenant Allowance shall be used and applied by Landlord
solely on account of the cost of work performed in the New Premises as agreed to by
Landlord and Tenant (“Landlord’s Work”). In no event shall Landlord’s obligations
to pay or reimburse Tenant for any of the costs of Landlord’s Work exceed the total
Tenant Allowance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be under no
obligation to apply any portion of the Tenant Allowance for any purposes other than
as provided in this Section. In addition, in the event that (i) Tenant is in
default under the Lease beyond

4

 

applicable notice and cure periods provided in the Lease or, (ii) there are any
liens which are not bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord against
Tenant’s interest in the Lease or against the Building or the Land arising out of
any work performed by Tenant or any litigation in which Tenant is a party, then,
until such event (“Event”) has been fully cured by Tenant, Landlord shall have no
further obligation to fund any portion of the Tenant Allowance and Tenant shall be
obligated to pay, as additional rent, all costs of Landlord’s Work in excess of
that portion of the Tenant Allowance funded by Landlord through the date of the
Event. Further, the Tenant Allowance shall only be applied towards the cost of
leasehold improvements and in no event shall Landlord be required to make
application of any portion of the Tenant Allowance towards Tenant’s personal
property, trade fixtures or moving expenses or on account of any supervisory fees,
overhead, management fees or other payments to Tenant, or any partner or affiliate
of Tenant. In the event that the costs of Landlord’s Work are less than the Tenant
Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment or credit nor shall there be
any application of the same toward Base Rent or any other amounts owed by Tenant
under the Lease. Tenant acknowledges that any portion of the Tenant Allowance which
has not been utilized on or before May 31, 2007 shall be forfeited by Tenant.
Landlord shall be entitled to deduct from the Tenant Allowance a construction
management fee equal to 4% of the cost of Landlord’s Work.

	12.	 	As of the date hereof, Tenant is utilizing certain furniture and workstations owned by Landlord
and located in the Premises. Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon the furniture and
workstations which will be relocated to the New Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the
cost of relocating such furniture and workstations shall be borne solely by Tenant. Further,
Tenant’s use of such furniture and workstations in the New Premises shall continue to be in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.2 of the Lease.

	 
	13.	 	(A) Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection with
the consummation of this First Amendment other than CB Richard Ellis Whittier Partners (the
“Broker”) and in the event any claim is made against Landlord relative to dealings by Tenant with
brokers (other than the Broker), Tenant shall defend the claim against Landlord with counsel of
Tenant’s selection first approved by Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld)
and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by
reason of such claim.

(B) Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in
connection with the consummation of this First Amendment (other than the Broker) and in the
event any claim is made against Tenant relative to dealings by Landlord with brokers,
Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Landlord’s selection and
save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by
reason of such claim.

	14.	 	Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease, in no event shall Tenant have the right to
terminate or cancel the Lease or to withhold rent or to set-off any claim
or damages against rent as a result of any default by Landlord or breach by Landlord of its
covenants or warranties or promises under the Lease, except in the case of a wrongful eviction of
Tenant from the demised premises (constructive or actual) by Landlord continuing after notice to
Landlord thereof and a reasonable opportunity for Landlord to cure the same. Further, the Tenant
shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against the Landlord
from rent

5

 

	 	 	thereafter due and payable, but shall look solely to the Landlord for satisfaction of such
claim.

	15.	 	As an inducement to Landlord to enter into this First Amendment, Tenant hereby represents and
warrants that: (i) Tenant is not, nor is it owned or controlled directly or indirectly by, any
person, group, entity or nation named on any list issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of
the United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) pursuant to Executive Order 13224 or any
similar list or any law, order, rule or regulation or any Executive Order of the President of the
United States as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person” or other banned or
blocked person (any such person, group, entity or nation being hereinafter referred to as a
“Prohibited Person”); (ii) Tenant is not (nor is it owned, controlled, directly or indirectly, by
any person, group, entity or nation which is) acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any
Prohibited Person; and (iii) from and after the effective date of the above-referenced Executive
Order, Tenant (and any person, group, or entity which Tenant controls, directly or indirectly) has
not conducted nor will conduct business nor has engaged nor will engage in any transaction or
dealing with any Prohibited Person in violation of the U.S. Patriot Act or any OFAC rule or
regulation, including without limitation any assignment of the Lease or any subletting of all or
any portion of the Premises or the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or
services to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person in violation of the U.S. Patriot Act or any
OFAC rule or regulation. In connection with the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed
that (x) any breach by Tenant of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed an
immediate Event of Default by Tenant under Section 13.1 of the Lease (without the benefit of notice
or grace) and shall be covered by the indemnity provisions the Lease, and (y) the representations
and warranties contained in this subsection shall be continuing in nature and shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

EXHIBIT
C

BROKER DETERMINATION OF PREVAILING MARKET RENT

Where in the Lease to which this Exhibit is attached provision is made for a Broker Determination
of Prevailing Market Rent, the following procedures and requirements shall apply:

	 	1.	 	Tenant’s Request. Tenant shall send a notice to Landlord by the time set for
such notice in the applicable section of the Lease, requesting a Broker Determination
of the Prevailing Market Rent, which notice to be effective must (i) make explicit
reference to the Lease and to the specific section of the Lease pursuant to which said
request is being made, (ii) include the name of a broker selected by Tenant to act for
Tenant, which broker shall be affiliated with a major Boston commercial real estate
brokerage firm selected by Tenant and which broker shall have at least ten (10) years
experience dealing in properties of a nature and type generally similar to the
Building located in the Boston West Suburban Market, and (iii) explicitly state that
Landlord is required to notify Tenant within thirty (30) days of an additional broker
selected by Landlord.
	 
	 	2.	 	Landlord’s Response. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of
Tenant’s notice requesting the Broker Determination and stating the name of the broker
selected by Tenant, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s
selection of a broker having at least the affiliation and experience referred to
above.
	 
	 	3.	 	Selection of Third Broker. Within ten (10) days thereafter the two (2)
brokers so selected shall select a third such broker also having at least the
affiliation and experience referred to above.
	 
	 	4.	 	Rental Value Determination. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of
the third broker, the three (3) brokers so selected, by majority opinion, shall make a
determination of the annual fair market rental value of the Premises for the period
referred to in the Lease. Such annual fair market rental value determination (x) may
include provision for annual increases in rent during said term if so determined, (y)
shall take into account the as-is condition of the Premises and (z) shall take account
of, and be expressed in relation to, the tax and operating cost bases and provisions
for paying for so-called tenant electricity as contained in the Lease. The brokers
shall advise Landlord and Tenant in writing by the expiration of said thirty (30) day
period of the annual fair market rental value which as so determined shall be referred
to as the Prevailing Market Rent.
	 
	 	5.	 	Resolution of Broker Deadlock. If the Brokers are unable to agree at least by
majority on a determination of annual fair market rental value, then the brokers shall
send a notice to Landlord and Tenant by the end of the thirty (30) day period for
making said determination setting forth their individual determinations of annual fair
market rental value, and the highest such determination and the lowest such
determination shall be disregarded and the remaining determination shall be deemed to
be the determination of annual fair market rental value and shall be referred to as
the Prevailing Market Rent.
	 
	 	6.	 	Costs. Each party shall pay the costs and expenses of the broker selected by
it and each

10

 

	 	 	 	shall pay one half (1/2) of the costs and expenses of the Third Broker.
	 
	 	7.	 	Failure to Select Broker or Failure of Broker to Serve. If Tenant shall have requested a
Broker Determination and Landlord shall not have designated a broker within the time period
provided therefor above, then Tenant’s Broker shall alone make the determination of Prevailing
Market Rent in writing to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of
Landlord’s right to designate a broker hereunder. If Tenant and Landlord have both designated
brokers but the two brokers so designated do not, within a period of fifteen (15) days after
the appointment of the second broker, agree upon and designate the Third Broker willing so to
act, the Tenant, the Landlord or either broker previously designated may request the Boston
Bar Association (or such organization as may succeed to the Boston Bar Association) to
designate the Third Broker willing so to act and a broker so appointed shall, for all
purposes, have the same standing and powers as though he had been seasonably appointed by the
brokers first appointed. In case of the inability or refusal to serve of any person designated
as a broker, or in case any broker for any reason ceases to be such, a broker to fill such
vacancy shall be appointed by the Tenant, the Landlord, the brokers first appointed or the
Boston Bar Association as the case may be, whichever made the original appointment, or if the
person who made the original appointment fails to fill such vacancy, upon application of any
broker who continues to act or by the Landlord or Tenant such vacancy may be filled by the
Boston Bar Association and any broker so appointed to fill such vacancy shall have the same
standing and powers as though originally appointed.

By Lease dated July 28, 2005 (the “Lease”), Landlord did lease to Tenant and Tenant did lease from
Landlord 12,833 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Premises”) on
the first (1st) floor of the building (the “Building”) known as Prospect Place and
numbered 230 Third Avenue, Waltham, Massachusetts (referred to in the Lease as the “Premises” and
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Initial Premises”).

of the Building on a short term basis, which space is shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a
part hereof (the “Temporary Premises”).

Landlord and Tenant are entering into this instrument to set forth said leasing of the Temporary
Premises, and to amend the Lease.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration in

contained, Landlord and Tenant, hereby agree to and with each other as follows:

	1.	 	For the period from January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008 (the “Temporary Premises Term”)

and the Temporary Premises.
	 
	2.	 	On or prior to March 31, 2008, Tenant shall quit and vacate the Temporary Premises and

1

Lease shall not apply to the Temporary Premises.
	 
	3.	 	(A) Base Rent for the Premises shall continue to be payable as set forth in the Lease.

(B) Base Rent for the Temporary Premises shall be payable during the Temporary Premises
Term at the annual rate of $104,160.00 (being the product of (i) $30.00 and (ii) the
Rentable Floor Area of the Temporary Premises (being 3,472 square feet)).

	4.	 	Tenant shall not be required to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense increases pursuant to
Section 4.2 of the Lease or Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Property Taxes pursuant to Section
10.1 of the Lease with respect to the Temporary Premises, however, Tenant shall be required to

Landlord shall have no responsibility to perform any additions, alterations or improvements to
the Temporary Premises nor shall Landlord have any responsibility for the installation or
connection of Tenant’s telecommunications equipment or wiring in the Temporary Premises.
	 
	7.	 	Tenant acknowledges that the Temporary Premises are part of a larger space and that Landlord
may at any time during the Temporary Premises Term enter the Temporary Premises to construct a
demising wall. Tenant further acknowledges that such work may cause a disruption with Tenant’s
use of the Temporary Premises, however, Landlord shall take reasonable efforts to minimize
such disruption.
	 
	8.	 	(A) Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection
with the consummation of this Second Amendment and in the event any claim is made against
Landlord relative to dealings by Tenant with brokers, Tenant shall defend the claim against
Landlord with counsel of Tenant’s selection first approved by Landlord (which approval will
not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss,
cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim.

(B) Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in
connection with the consummation of this Second Amendment and in
the event any claim is made against Tenant relative to dealings by Landlord with brokers,
Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Landlord’s selection and
save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by
reason of such claim.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE

THIRD
AMENDMENT TO LEASE dated as of this 1st day of April, 2008, by and between BP PROSPECT
PLACE LLC, successor-in-interest to The Realty Associates Fund III (“Landlord”) and NAME MEDIA,
INC., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as YesDirect, Inc., which was formerly known as
BuyDomains Holdings, Inc.), (“Tenant”).

RECITALS

By Lease dated July 28, 2005 (the “Lease”), Landlord did lease to Tenant and Tenant did lease from
Landlord 12,833 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Premises”) on
the first (1st) floor of the building (the “Building”) known as Prospect Place and
numbered 230 Third Avenue, Waltham, Massachusetts (referred to in the Lease as the “Premises” and
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Initial Premises”).

By First Amendment to Lease dated as of April 27, 2006 (the “First Amendment”) (i) Landlord
(incorrectly named as Boston Properties Limited Partnership in such First Amendment) and Tenant
terminated the Lease with regard to the entire Initial Premises, (ii) Tenant leased from Landlord
19,931 square feet of rentable floor area on the second (2nd) floor of the Building
shown on Exhibit A attached to such First Amendment (referred to in the First Amendment as the “New
Premises” and hereinafter referred to as the “Relinquished Premises”) and (iii) Landlord and Tenant
extended the Term of the Lease as provided in such First Amendment.

By Second Amendment to Lease dated as of January 23, 2008 (the “Second Amendment”), Tenant leased
from Landlord an additional 3,472 square feet of rentable floor area located on the fifth (5th) floor of the Building (the “Temporary Premises”) for the period from January 1, 2008
through March 31, 2008 which temporary premises are more particularly described in Exhibit A
attached to such Second Amendment.

Landlord and Tenant have agreed to terminate the Lease with regard to the entire Relinquished
Premises and Tenant has determined to lease from Landlord an additional 29,978 square feet of
rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Third Amendment Premises A”) on the third (3rd) floor of the Building, which space is shown on Exhibit A attached hereto as Third
Amendment Premises A (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Third Amendment Premises A”) and an
additional 21,592 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Third
Amendment Premises B”) on the second (2nd) floor of the Building, which space is shown
on Exhibit A attached hereto as Third Amendment Premises B (hereinafter sometimes referred to as
the “Third Amendment Premises B”) upon all of the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease
as amended, except as otherwise provided in this Third Amendment to Lease (the “Third Amendment”).
The Third Amendment Premises A and the Third Amendment Premises B contain a total 51,570 square
feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Third Amendment Premises”) and are
hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Third Amendment Premises”).

In addition, the Lease provides for a Term which will expire unless extended or sooner terminated,
on May 31, 2009. Landlord and Tenant desire to extend the Term of the Lease and to provide Tenant
with

1

 

an option to further extend the Term upon the terms contained in this Third Amendment.

Landlord and Tenant are entering into this instrument to set forth said agreements and to further
amend the Lease.

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

	1.	 	As of the earlier of (i) the date on which the Third Amendment Premises A are “substantially
complete” as provided in Exhibit C-2 attached hereto or (ii) the date which Tenant commences
beneficial use of the Third Amendment Premises A (Tenant’s installation of trade fixtures,
furniture and wiring and cabling in accordance with Section 1.1(B)(4) of Exhibit C-2 shall not
be deemed to commence beneficial use) (the “Third Amendment Premises A Commencement Date”),
the Third Amendment Premises A shall constitute the “Premises” demised to Tenant under the
Lease.
	 
	2.	 	Effective as of the later of (i) January 1, 2009 or (ii) the date which is ninety (90) days
subsequent to the date Third Amendment Premises B is delivered to Tenant in broom clean
condition and free of all occupants and with all Building systems serving the Third Amendment
Premises B in good working order and condition (the “Third Amendment Premises B Commencement
Date”), the Third Amendment Premises B shall constitute a part of the “Premises” demised to
Tenant under the Lease, so that the Premises shall be comprised of the Third Amendment
Premises A and the Third Amendment Premises B.
	 
	3.	 	(A) On or prior to the date which is thirty (30) days subsequent to the Third Amendment
Premises A Commencement Date (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Reduction Date”),
Tenant shall quit and vacate the Relinquished Premises and surrender the same in the condition
required by the Lease upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, including
leaving the furniture and workstations as set forth in Section 3.2 of the Lease (as amended by
Section 12 of the First Amendment) in the Relinquished Premises. As of the Reduction Date the
Relinquished Premises shall no longer be deemed to be a part of and shall be deleted and
removed from the “Premises” demised to Tenant under the Lease. By way of example, the option
to extend the Term provided in Section 5 hereinbelow shall apply to the Third Amendment
Premises but not to the Relinquished Premises and not to the Temporary Premises.
	 
	 	 	(B) On or prior to March 31, 2008 Tenant shall quit and vacate the Temporary Premises and
surrender the same in the condition required by the Second Amendment, and as of such date the
Temporary Premises shall no longer be deemed to be a part of and shall be deleted and removed from
the “Premises” demised to Tenant under the Lease.
	 
	4.	 	The Term, which but for this Third Amendment is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2009, is
hereby extended for a period commencing on June 1, 2009 and expiring on the date which is
forty eight (48) months subsequent to the Third Amendment Premises A Commencement Date (plus
the partial month, if any, immediately following the Third Amendment Premises A Commencement
Date) (the “Second Extended Term”) unless sooner extended or terminated in

2

 

	 	 	accordance with the provisions of the Lease as herein amended, such extension to be upon all
the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease except as otherwise provided in this
Third Amendment.
	 
	5.	 	(A) Provided that at the time of exercise of the option to extend and at the commencement
date of the extension option period (i) an Event of Default of Tenant does not exist (as set
forth in Section 13.1 of the Lease), (ii) the Lease is still in full force and effect, and
(iii) Tenant has neither assigned the Lease nor sublet more than thirty-three percent (33%) of
the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises (except for an assignment or subletting permitted
without Landlord’s consent under Section 12.2 of the Lease), Tenant shall have the right to
extend the Term of the Lease (for the entirety of the Premises then leased by Tenant) upon all
the same terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained in the Lease (except for the
Base Rent which shall be adjusted during the option period as hereinbelow set forth) for one
(1) period of five (5) years as hereinafter set forth. The option period is sometimes herein
referred to as the “Third Extended Term”.
	 
	 	 	(B) If Tenant desires to exercise the option to extend the Term, then Tenant shall give
notice to Landlord, not earlier than twelve (12) months nor later than nine (9) months prior
to the expiration of the Second Extended Term exercising such option to extend. Promptly
(but in all events within fifteen (15) business days) after Landlord’s receipt of the
Exercise Notice, Landlord shall provide Landlord’s quotation to Tenant of a proposed annual
rent for the Third Extended Term (“Landlord’s Rent Quotation”). If at the expiration of
thirty (30) days after the date when Landlord provides such quotation to Tenant (the
“Negotiation Period”), Landlord and Tenant have not reached agreement on a determination of
an annual rental for the Third Extended Term and executed a written instrument extending the
Term of the Lease pursuant to such agreement, then Tenant shall have the right, for thirty
(30) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, to make a request to Landlord
for a broker determination (the “Broker Determination”) of the Prevailing Market Rent (as
defined in Exhibit B) for the Third Extended Term, which Broker Determination shall be made
in the manner set forth in Exhibit B. If Tenant timely shall have requested the Broker
Determination, then the base rent for the Third Extended Term shall be the greater of (a)
the Prevailing Market Rent as determined by the Broker Determination
or (b) the Base Rent in effect during the last year of the Second Extended Term. If Tenant
does not timely request the Broker Determination, then Base Rent during the Third Extended
Term shall be equal to the greater of (a) Landlord’s Rent Quotation or (b) the Base Rent in
effect during the last year of the Second Extended Term.
	 
	 	 	(C) Upon the giving of the Exercise Notice by Tenant to Landlord exercising Tenant’s option to
extend the Term in accordance with the provisions of Section B above, then the Lease and the Term
shall automatically be deemed extended, for the Third Extended Term, without the necessity for the
execution of any additional documents, except that Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into an
instrument in writing setting forth the Base Rent for the Third Extended Term as determined in the
relevant manner set forth in this Section 5; and in such event all references to the Term or the
term of the Lease shall be construed as referring to the Term, as so extended, unless the context
clearly otherwise requires, and except that there shall be no further option to extend the Term.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Term hereof be
extended for more than five (5) years after the expiration of the Second Extended Term hereof.

the Lease during such period (including, without limitation, making payments for electricity

	 	 	(B) Landlord agrees to allow Tenant to access the Third Amendment Premises B for the period
from October 1, 2008 through the Third Amendment Premises B Commencement Date (the “Access Period”)
for the purposes of performing improvements in such space in order to prepare the same for Tenant’s

to the Third Amendment Premises B during such period (including without limitation the payment of
electrical charges for such space). During the Access Period, Landlord shall provide Tenant, its
agents, employees and contractors, with all Building services necessary for Tenant to complete its
construction work in Third Amendment Premises B subject to Tenant’s payment of the cost of
providing the same. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant in the procurement of all permits and
approvals from appropriate governmental authorities to allow construction of the such work, and

same.
	 
	 	 	(C) Landlord shall provide to Tenant a special allowance
equal to the product of (i) $20.00
and (ii) the Rentable Floor Area of the Third Amendment Premises B (the “Tenant Allowance”).
The Tenant Allowance shall be used and applied by Tenant solely on account of the cost of
work performed by Tenant in the Third Amendment Premises B in accordance with the terms of
the Lease (the “Third Amendment Premises B Work”) and shall be provided to Tenant as
requested in accordance with the provisions set forth below (but not more frequently than
once in any calendar month). Provided that the Tenant (i) has completed the portion of such
Third Amendment Premises B Work for which reimbursement is requested in accordance with the
terms of the Lease, has paid in full for such portion of the Third Amendment Premises B Work
for which payment is requested and has delivered to Landlord lien waivers from all persons
who might have a lien as a result of such work, in recordable form reasonably acceptable to
Landlord, (ii) has delivered to Landlord its certificate specifying the cost of such Third
Amendment Premises B Work and all contractors, subcontractors and supplies involved with the
Third Amendment Premises B Work, together with evidence of such cost in the form of paid
invoices, receipts and the like (including a canceled check evidencing payment by Tenant),
(iii) has satisfied the requirements of (i) and (ii) above and made request for such payment
on or before the date which is two hundred and seventy (270) days after the Third Amendment
Premises B Commencement Date, (iv) is not otherwise in default under the Lease beyond any
applicable notice and cure period, and (v) there are no liens (unless bonded to the
reasonable satisfaction of Landlord) against Tenant’s interest in the Lease or against the
Building arising out of the Third

7

 

	 	 	Amendment Premises B Work, then within thirty (30) days after the satisfaction of the
foregoing conditions, the Landlord shall pay to the Tenant the lesser of the amount of such
costs so certified or the then-remaining amount of the Tenant Allowance. For the purposes
hereof, the cost to be so reimbursed by Landlord shall include the cost incurred by Tenant
in connection with leasehold improvements, but
not the cost of any of Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures or trade equipment or any
so-called soft costs; provided, however that (x) Tenant may apply up to $2.00 per rentable
square foot of the Tenant Allowance towards the installation and connection of cabling and
wiring in the Third Amendment Premises B and (y) Tenant may apply up to $3.00/rentable
square foot of the Tenant Allowance towards architectural and engineering fees associated
with the Third Amendment Premises B Work, provided, however, in no event shall the total
amount applied towards (x) exceed $2.00 per rentable square foot of the Third Amendment
Premises B and in no event shall the total amount applied toward (y) exceed $3.00 per
rentable square foot of the Third Amendment Premises B. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall be under no obligation to apply any portion of the Tenant Allowance for any
purposes other than as provided herein, nor shall Landlord be deemed to have assumed any
obligations, in whole or in part, of Tenant to any contractors, subcontractors, suppliers,
workers or material men. Further, except as specified herein, the Tenant Allowance shall
only be applied towards the cost of leasehold improvements and, except as otherwise
specifically provided above, in no event shall Landlord be required to make application of
any portion of the Tenant Allowance towards Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures or
moving expenses or on account of any supervisory fees, overhead, management fees or other
payments to Tenant, or any partner or affiliate of Tenant. In the event that the total cost
of the Third Amendment Premises B Work is less than the Tenant Allowance, Tenant shall not
be entitled to any payment or credit nor there any application of the same toward Base Rent
or any other charges owed by Tenant under the Lease. Tenant shall have the right to retain
Tenant’s own construction manager for such work or request that Landlord perform
construction management. Landlord shall be entitled to deduct from the Tenant Allowance an
amount equal to 5% of the cost of the Third Amendment Premises B Work as a construction
management fee in the event Landlord provides construction management for such work. In the
event Tenant provides its own construction management, Landlord shall be entitled to deduct
a fee from the Tenant Allowance of up to $150.00 per hour of Landlord’s employees actual
time to review Tenant’s plans and work (but in no event shall the fee exceed $3,000) plus
reasonable and necessary third party expenses incurred by Landlord for which Landlord has
provided Tenant a detailed accounting.
	 	 
	14.	 	Landlord agrees that upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall not
be required to remove (i) the additions and alterations made in Third Amendment Premises A as shown
on Exhibit C-1 attached hereto (except that Tenant shall be required to remove the equipment
associated with Tenant’s Data Center shown on the plans listed in Exhibit C-1) or (ii) the
additions and alterations made in Third Amendment Premises B as part of Tenant’s construction for
initial occupancy thereof for general office use as determined by Landlord in its reasonable
discretion. The foregoing notwithstanding, at the time of approval of Tenant’s plans for
construction in Third Amendment Premises B, Landlord may designate specialty improvements (such as,
without limitation, catering kitchens, executive bathrooms, raised computer floors, computer room
installations, supplemental HVAC equipment, safe deposit boxes, vaults, libraries or file rooms
requiring reinforcement of floors, internal staircases, slab penetrations, and other work of a
similar character) for removal upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, upon the

8

 

	 	 	expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove any telecommunications
equipment and wiring installed by or on behalf of Tenant in either Third Amendment Premises
A and/or Third Amendment Premises B unless the same are “tagged” for future use in
accordance with the National Electric Code or unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord.
	 	 
	15.	 	(A) Concurrently with the execution of this Third Amendment Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a
security deposit in the amount of Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Five Hundred Seventy Six and 23/100
($470,576.23) and Landlord shall hold the same, throughout the Term of the Lease (including any
extension term, if applicable), unless sooner returned to Tenant as provided herein, as security
for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be performed under the
Lease. Such deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable, unconditional, negotiable letter of
credit (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall (i) be issued by and drawn on a bank
reasonably approved by Landlord and having a minimum corporate credit rating from Standard and
Poor’s Professional Rating Service of BBB or a comparable minimum credit rating from Moody’s
Professional Rating Service, Landlord hereby approving of Bank of America as of the date of this
Lease (ii) be in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord (Landlord acknowledging that the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D is acceptable), (iii) permit one or more draws thereunder to be made accompanied only by certification by
Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent that pursuant to the terms of the Lease, that Landlord
is entitled to draw upon such Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of the Lease and/or
that a Non-Renewal (defined below) has occurred and Landlord is entitled to draw upon such
Letter of Credit, (iv) permit transfers at any time without charge, (v) permit presentment
in Boston, Massachusetts and (vi) provide that any notices to Landlord be sent to the notice
address provided for Landlord in the Lease. Any such Letter of Credit shall be for a term of
at least one (1) year and shall in either case provide for automatic renewals through the
date which is thirty (30) days subsequent to the scheduled expiration of the Lease (as the
same may be extended) or if the issuer will not grant automatic renewals, the Letter of
Credit shall be renewed by Tenant each year and each such renewal shall be delivered to and
received by Landlord not later than twenty (20) days before the expiration of the then
current Letter of Credit (herein called a “Renewal Presentation Date”). In the event of a
failure to so deliver any such renewal Letter of Credit on or before the applicable Renewal
Presentation Date (“Non-Renewal”), Landlord shall be entitled to present the then existing
Letter of Credit for payment and to receive the proceeds thereof, which proceeds shall be
held as Tenant’s security deposit, subject to the terms hereof. Any failure or refusal of
the issuer to honor the Letter of Credit shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and shall not
relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder with regard to the security deposit. Upon the
occurrence of any event of default beyond any applicable notice and cure period provided for
in the Lease, Landlord shall have the right from time to time without prejudice to any other
remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to draw on all or any portion of such deposit
held as a Letter of Credit and to apply the proceeds of such Letter of Credit or any cash
held as such deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages arising from such uncured
event of default on the part of Tenant under the terms of the Lease beyond applicable notice
and grace periods. If Landlord so applies all or any portion of such deposit, Tenant shall within
fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an amount
sufficient to restore such deposit to the full amount stated in this Section 16. While
Landlord holds any portion of the security deposit as a cash deposit Landlord shall have no
obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with
Landlord’s other funds. Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the Landlord in a ground lease
on property which includes the Premises shall ever

9

 

	 	 	be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such deposit, whether or not
it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such cash deposit shall have been
received by such holder or ground landlord.
	 
	 	 	Tenant not then being in default and having performed all of its obligations under the
Lease, including the payment of all Base Rent, Landlord shall return the deposit, or so much
thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this
Section, to Tenant on the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease (as the
same may have been extended) and surrender possession of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord
in the condition required in the Lease at such time.
	 
	 	 	(B) Landlord acknowledges that as of the date hereof, Landlord is holding a security deposit
in the amount of $67,373.25 in connection with the Lease (the “Existing Security Deposit”).
Promptly upon Landlord’s receipt of the Letter of Credit as provided in Section 15(A)
hereinabove, Landlord shall return the Existing Security Deposit to Tenant.
	 
	16.	 	(A) Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection
with the consummation of this Third Amendment other than CB Richard Ellis and FHO Partners
(collectively the “Broker”) and in the event any claim is made against Landlord relative to
dealings by Tenant with brokers (other than the Broker), Tenant shall defend the claim against
Landlord with counsel of Tenant’s selection first approved by Landlord (which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage
which may arise by reason of such claim.
	 
	 	 	(B) Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in
connection with the consummation of this Third Amendment (other than the Broker) and in the
event any claim is made against Tenant relative to dealings by Landlord with brokers,
Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Landlord’s selection first
approved by Tenant (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and
indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim.
	 
	17.	 	Provided (i) Tenant leases from Landlord a minimum of 40,000 square feet of rentable floor area
in the Building (ii) no event of default exists beyond any applicable notice and cure period and
(iii) Tenant has not assigned this Lease or sublet more than 33% of the Premises (except for an
assignment or subletting permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Lease), Tenant shall be permitted, at Tenant’s expense, to erect an exterior
sign on the westerly facing side of the Building containing Tenant’s name in a location first
approved by Landlord. In addition, the size, design, proportions and color of such signage shall
be as shown on Exhibit E attached hereto and shall be further subject to the requirements of the
Zoning By-Law of the City of Waltham and any other applicable laws and to Tenant obtaining all
necessary permits and approvals therefor. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s right to
signage on the Building pursuant to this section is not on an exclusive basis and that Landlord may
grant other tenants in the Building the right to signage on the Building. In addition, Tenant
shall be required to maintain such sign in first-class condition at its sole expense. If, at any
time during the Term, Tenant shall change its name, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense,
replace the sign with a sign containing Tenant’s new name (so long as such name change is not
resulting from an assignment of the Lease or a sublease of the Premises), subject to Landlord’s
prior approval

10

 

which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if (i) Tenant’s
new name does not impair the reputation of the Building in Landlord’s sole discretion, (ii)
the new sign is the same design, proportion and color of the original sign as shown on
Exhibit E attached hereto (provided that if Landlord exercised its option to replace the
sign with a halo lit sign as provided hereinbelow, the sign containing Tenant’s new name
shall also be a halo lit sign), (iii) the new sign is the same size in terms of height and
width as the original sign, (iv) the new sign is in compliance with the requirements of the
Zoning By-Law of the City of Waltham and any other applicable laws and (v) Tenant has
obtained all necessary permits and approvals therefor. Landlord hereby agrees to cooperate
with Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, in obtaining any necessary permits and approvals
required for the original sign or any replacement sign. Tenant agrees that at any time
during the Term, Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, replace Tenant’s sign
with a halo lit sign which is, to the extent reasonably practical, consistent with the
signage specifications shown on Exhibit E attached hereto. In the event Tenant reduces the
size of its Premises, assigns this Lease or subleases its Premises (except for an assignment
or subletting permitted pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Lease) so that Tenant no longer
leases from Landlord and occupies at least 40,000 square feet of rentable square floor area
in the Building, Tenant agrees that it shall remove such signage. Removal of such signage
upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term or as required in the preceding
sentence shall be at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of lighting
any such signage. Tenant shall, at its expense, install a check meter to monitor Tenant’s
electricity usage related to and/or used respecting Tenant’s sign (collectively called
“Signage Electricity”). For so long as Tenant has a sign on the Building in accordance with
this Section, Landlord shall check meter and separately bill tenant for Signage Electricity
on a monthly basis and Tenant shall pay such monthly Signage Electricity charges to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s billing therefor and such bills shall
not include any mark-up, profit or administrative costs of Landlord.

	18.	 	Landlord hereby grants to Tenant as of the Third Amendment Premises B Commencement Date, the
non-exclusive right to use the stairwell between the second and third floor of the Building (the
“Stairwell Space”) in the location shown on Exhibit A. Tenant shall use the Stairwell Space only
for the purpose of walking between its Premises in the second and third floors of the Building and
for no other purpose (other than for emergency egress purposes for which it is intended). Tenant’s
use of the Stairwell Space shall be subject to and in compliance with, all applicable laws,
including, but not limited to City and State building and fire prevention codes. In the event
Tenant’s use of the Stairwell Space is prohibited by law, Tenant shall immediately cease use of the
same. Tenant shall be responsible for any increase in the rate of insurance on the Building as a
result of Tenant’s use of the Stairwell Space. Tenant shall use the Stairwell Space in a manner
which will not interfere with others who have a right to use the same. In no event shall Tenant
store anything in the Stairwell Space and smoking and littering therein are prohibited. Further,
Tenant shall, at its expense, install and maintain hardware (latching, locking and operating
mechanisms) on the fire rated doors leading to the Stairwell Space as reasonably approved by
Landlord and in accordance with all applicable laws. Such door hardware shall provide proper door
closure, positive latching of the door to maintain the fire rated enclosure and shall integrate a
base building standard access system with the base building fire alarm system in order to fail open
upon alarm activation or a loss of normal electrical power. Subject to the applicable waiver of claims and subrogation set forth in Section 8.4 of the Lease,
Tenant agrees to indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and against all claims of whatever
nature arising from any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or its contractors, agents, servants,
invitees or

11

 

employees, arising out of Tenant’s use of the Stairwell Space except to the extent caused by
the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

	19.	 	Effective as of the date hereof, the original Lease (as amended) is modified as follows:

(A) Sections 5, 9.4 and 27 of the Lease and Section 9 of the First Amendment are hereby
deleted in their entirety and Landlord and Tenant agree that neither party shall have any further
rights thereunder.

(B) The last sentence of Section 8.1(b) of the Lease is deleted and replaced with the
following:

“Since Section 7.3(C) of this Lease provides that all alterations made to the
Premises shall be the property of Landlord, Landlord shall insure any such additions
or alterations (being those items which are not removable without material damage to
the Premises or Property) and Tenant shall have no responsibility to maintain
insurance for such additions or alterations. Further, the proceeds of any insurance
attributable to the replacement of all tenant improvements made by or on behalf of
Tenant in the Premises shall be paid to Landlord.”

(C) The following is added to the end of the first sentence of Section 13.1(b):

“; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s non-performance is non-monetary
and such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then an Event of
Default shall not be deemed to exist if Tenant commences such cure within said ten (10) day
period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion.”

(D) The following is added to the end of Section 13.3:

“Landlord shall never be liable for any failure to make repairs to the Premises
which, under the provisions of this Lease, Landlord has undertaken to make unless:

(i) Tenant has given notice to Landlord of the need to make such repairs, or
of a condition in the Building or in the Premises requiring any repair for
which Landlord is responsible; and

(ii) Landlord has failed to commence to make such repairs within a
reasonable time after receipt of such notice.

In the event Landlord fails to make such repairs as are required of Landlord within thirty
(30) days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage on
the Premises of which Landlord has given Tenant notice or of which Tenant has actual notice,
specifying the nature of such repairs (or if such repairs are of the type which cannot be
completed within thirty (30) days, then if Landlord or the holder of any such mortgage (at
the option of such mortgagee) fails to (i) commence making such repairs within thirty (30)
days after such written notice from Tenant and (ii) thereafter prosecute such repairs to
completion with due diligence given the nature of such repairs), then thereafter at any time
prior to Landlord’s or such

12

 

mortgagee’s commencing such repairs or subsequent to Landlord or such mortgagee commencing
such repairs if Landlord or such mortgagee has not prosecuted such repairs to completion
with due diligence given the nature of such repairs, Tenant may, but need not, make such
repairs and charge the reasonable cost thereof to Landlord; provided, however, that in the
case of emergency repairs (i) such notice by Tenant to Landlord and such mortgagee need not
be in writing, and (ii) Tenant may make such emergency repairs and charge the reasonable
cost thereof to Landlord if either Landlord or such mortgagee has not made such emergency
repairs within a reasonable time after such notice. However, in no event shall Tenant have
the right to offset against, withhold or deduct from Base Rent or Additional Rent payable
under this Lease for any reason relating to this Section.”

(E) The following subsection is added to the beginning of the first sentence of Section
21(a): “Subject to the applicable waivers of claims and subrogation set forth in Section
8.4,”.

(F) The definition of “Tenant’s Property” contained in Section 9.5 of the Lease is hereby
modified to provide that the “Tenant improvements and fixtures” are only those items which
are owned by Tenant and removable without material damage to the Premises or Property.
Additionally, Landlord acknowledges that for the purposes of Section 9 of the Lease,
consistent with Section 7.3(C) of the Lease as amended stating that all alterations made to
the Premises shall be the property of Landlord, Landlord shall be responsible for restoring
Landlord’s Work in Third Amendment Premises A and the Third Amendment Premises B Work as
part of Landlord’s restoration of the Building and/or Premises, however, in no event shall
Landlord be responsible to expend for such restoration in excess of the insurance proceeds
received by Landlord.

(G) The following subsection is added to Section 13.2: “(d) Landlord agrees to use
reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after Tenant vacates the same in the event this
Lease is terminated based upon an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder. The marketing of the
Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within
Landlord’s control within the Building shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord’s
obligation to use “reasonable efforts” hereunder. In no event shall Landlord be required to
(i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenant for the Premises
until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises (including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal
right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant), (ii) relet the Premises before
leasing other vacant space in the Building or (iii) lease the Premises for a rental less
than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar office space in the Building.”

	20.	 	Landlord warrants and represents that as of the date hereof there is no mortgage on the
Building and that the Lease is not subject to any ground lease.
	 
	21.	 	Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the same meanings as are set forth in the Lease.
	 
	22.	 	Except as herein amended the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. All
references to the “Lease” shall be deemed to be references to the Lease as amended by the First
Amendment, the Second Amendment and as amended hereby.

EXHIBIT
B

BROKER DETERMINATION OF PREVAILING MARKET RENT

Where in the Third Amendment to Lease to which this Exhibit is attached provision is made for a
Broker Determination of Prevailing Market Rent, the following procedures and requirements shall
apply:

	 	1.	 	Tenant’s Request. Tenant shall send a notice to Landlord by the time set for
such notice in the applicable section of the Second Amendment to Lease, requesting a
Broker Determination of the Prevailing Market Rent, which notice to be effective must
(i) make explicit reference to the Lease and to the specific section of the Second
Amendment to Lease pursuant to which said request is being made, (ii) include the name
of a broker selected by Tenant to act for Tenant, which broker shall be affiliated with
a major Boston commercial real estate brokerage firm selected by Tenant and which
broker shall have at least ten (10) years experience dealing in properties of a nature
and type generally similar to the Building located in the Boston West Suburban Market,
and (iii) explicitly state that Landlord is required to notify Tenant within thirty
(30) days of an additional broker selected by Landlord.
	 
	 	2.	 	Landlord’s Response. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of
Tenant’s notice requesting the Broker Determination and stating the name of the broker
selected by Tenant, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s
selection of a broker having at least the affiliation and experience referred to above.
	 
	 	3.	 	Selection of Third Broker. Within ten (10) days thereafter the two (2) brokers
so selected shall select a third such broker also having at least the affiliation and
experience referred to above.
	 
	 	4.	 	Rental Value Determination. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the
third broker, the three (3) brokers so selected, by majority opinion, shall make a
determination of the annual fair market rental value of the Premises for the period
referred to in the Lease taking into account all relevant factors. The brokers shall
advise Landlord and Tenant in writing by the expiration of said thirty (30) day period
of the annual fair market rental value which as so determined shall be referred to as
the Prevailing Market Rent.
	 
	 	5.	 	Resolution of Broker Deadlock. If the Brokers are unable to agree at least by
majority on a determination of annual fair market rental value, then the brokers shall
send a notice to Landlord and Tenant by the end of the thirty (30) day period for
making said determination setting forth their individual determinations of annual fair
market rental value, and the highest such determination and the lowest such
determination shall be

Exhibit B

Page 1 of 2

 

 

disregarded and the remaining determination shall be deemed to be the determination of
annual fair market rental value and shall be referred to as the Prevailing Market Rent.

	 	6.	 	Costs. Each party shall pay the costs and expenses of the broker selected by it and each
shall pay one half (1/2) of the costs and expenses of the Third Broker.
	 
	 	7.	 	Failure to Select Broker or Failure of Broker to Serve. If Tenant shall have requested a
Broker Determination and Landlord shall not have designated a broker within the time period
provided therefor above, then Tenant’s Broker shall alone make the determination of Prevailing
Market Rent in writing to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of
Landlord’s right to designate a broker hereunder. If Tenant and Landlord have both designated
brokers but the two brokers so designated do not, within a period of fifteen (15) days after
the appointment of the second broker, agree upon and designate the Third Broker willing so to
act, the Tenant, the Landlord or either broker previously designated may request the Boston
Bar Association (or such organization as may succeed to the Boston Bar Association) to
designate the Third Broker willing so to act and a broker so appointed shall, for all
purposes, have the same standing and powers as though he had been seasonably appointed by the
brokers first appointed. In case of the inability or refusal to serve of any person
designated as a broker, or in case any broker for any reason ceases to be such, a broker to
fill such vacancy shall be appointed by the Tenant, the Landlord, the brokers first appointed
or the Boston Bar Association as the case may be, whichever made the original appointment, or
if the person who made the original appointment fails to fill such vacancy, upon application
of any broker who continues to act or by the Landlord or Tenant such vacancy may be filled by
the Boston Bar Association and any broker so appointed to fill such vacancy shall have the
same standing and powers as though originally appointed.

WORK LETTER

	1.1	 	SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.

	 	(A)	 	Plans and Construction Process.

(1)  Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall perform the work in the Third Amendment Premises A shown
on the construction drawings listed on Exhibit C-1 attached to this Third Amendment and the turnkey
matrix attached as part of such Exhibit C-1 (collectively, the “Plans”) (“Landlord’s Work”);
provided, however, that Landlord shall have no responsibility for the installation or connection of
Tenant’s computer, telephone, other communication equipment, systems or wiring. Any items of work
requested by Tenant and not shown on the Plans shall be deemed to be Change Proposal(s) (as defined
below) and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of subsection (2) below. Landlord shall be
responsible for Landlord’s Work complying with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act in
effect as of the Third Amendment Premises A Commencement Date.

(2)  Change Orders. Tenant shall have the right, in accordance herewith, to submit for
Landlord’s approval change proposals with respect to items of work not shown on the Plans (each, a
“Change Proposal”). Landlord agrees to respond to any such Change Proposal within such time as is
reasonably necessary (taking into consideration the information contained in such Change Proposal)
after the submission thereof by Tenant, advising Tenant of any anticipated costs (“Change Order
Costs”) associated with such Change Proposal, as well as an estimate of any delay which would
likely result in the completion of the Landlord’s Work if a Change Proposal is made pursuant
thereto. Tenant shall have the right to then approve or withdraw such Change Proposal within five
(5) business days after receipt of such information. If Tenant fails to respond to such Change
Proposal within such five (5) business day period, such Change Proposal shall be deemed withdrawn.
If Tenant approves such Change Proposal, then such Change Proposal shall be deemed a “Change Order”
hereunder and if the Change Order is made, then the Change Order Costs associated with the Change
Order shall be deemed additions to Landlord’s Work and shall be paid in the same manner as Tenant
Plan Excess Costs are paid as set forth in Section 1.2.

(3) Except to the extent that another time period is expressly herein set forth, Tenant
shall respond to any request from Landlord, Landlord’s architect, Landlord’s contractor
and/or Landlord’s construction representative for approvals or information in connection
with Landlord’s Work, within three (3) business days of Tenant’s receipt of such request.
In addition, Tenant shall, within three (3) business days after receipt thereof from
Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord any affidavits and documentation required in order
to obtain all permits and approvals necessary for Landlord to commence and complete
Landlord’s Work on a timely basis (“Permit Documentation”).

(4) Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in connection with Tenant’s and
Landlord’s obligations under this Section 1.1.

Exhibit C-2

 

 

	 	(B)	 	Substantial Completion; Tenant Delay.

(1) Landlord’s Obligations. Subject to delays due to Tenant Delays (as hereinafter defined)
and delays due to any prevention, delay or stoppage due to governmental regulation, strikes,
lockouts, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, civil commotions, unusual scarcity of or
inability to obtain labor or materials, labor difficulties, casualty or other causes
reasonably beyond Landlord’s control or attributable to Tenant’s action or inaction (“Force
Majeure”), Landlord shall use reasonable speed and diligence to have the Landlord’s Work
substantially completed on or before April 11, 2008, but Tenant shall have no claim against
Landlord for failure so to complete construction of Landlord’s Work in the Third Amendment
Premises A by such date or any other date nor shall Tenant have the right to terminate the
Lease or this Third Amendment or to withhold or set off against Base Rent or any other costs
payable under the Lease.

(2) Definition of Substantial Completion. The Third Amendment Premises A shall be treated as
having been substantially completed and be deemed ready for Tenant’s occupancy on the later of:

	 	(a)	 	The date on which Landlord’s Work, together with common facilities for access and
services to the Third Amendment Premises A, has been completed (or would have been completed
except for Tenant Delay including, but not limited to, any Change Order made by Tenant
respecting the Board Room in the Premises) except for items of work and adjustment of
equipment and fixtures which can be completed after occupancy has been taken without causing
substantial interference with Tenant’s use of the Third Amendment Premises A (i.e. so-called
“punch list” items), or
	 
	 	(b)	 	The date when permission has been obtained from the applicable governmental
authority, to the extent required by law, for occupancy by Tenant of the Third Amendment
Premises A (i.e. a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy) for the use permitted by
the Lease (as defined in the Lease), unless the failure to obtain such permission is due to
a Tenant Delay including, but not limited to, any Change Order made by Tenant respecting the
Board Room in the Premises.

In the event of any dispute as to the date on which Landlord’s Work has been completed, the
reasonable determination of Landlord’s architect as to such date shall be deemed conclusive
and binding on both Landlord and Tenant.

(3) Incomplete Work. Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to complete any incomplete
items of Landlord’s Work within sixty (60) days following the date upon which the Third
Amendment Premises A are substantially complete and Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with
one another in (i) providing access as may be required for Landlord to complete such work in
a normal, expeditious manner and (ii) enabling Tenant to install Tenant’s wiring and
furniture in the Third Amendment Premises A in a normal, expeditious manner.

(4) Early Access by Tenant. Landlord shall permit Tenant access for installing Tenant’s
trade fixtures, furniture and wiring and cabling in portions of the Third Amendment Premises

Exhibit C-2

 

 

A prior to substantial completion when it can be done without material interference with
remaining work or with the maintenance of harmonious labor relations. Landlord shall
provide Tenant at least four (4) business days notice prior to the date Tenant may have
access. Any such access by Tenant shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of the
Lease (other than the payment of Base Rent) and shall be at Tenant’s sole risk, and Landlord
shall not be responsible for any injury to persons or damage to property resulting from such
early access by Tenant except to the extent caused by the negligence or intentional
misconduct of Landlord.

	 	(C)	 	Tenant Delay.

(1) A “Tenant Delay” shall be defined as the following which actually delays Landlord’s
substantial completion of the Landlord’s Work:

	 	(a)	 	Tenant’s failure timely to respond to any request from Landlord,
Landlord’s architect, Landlord’s contractor and/or Landlord’s construction
representative or to timely provide all required Permit Documentation to
Landlord within the applicable time periods set forth in this Work Letter;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Tenant’s failure to pay the Tenant Plan Excess Costs in accordance with
Section 1.2 of this Work Letter;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Any delay due to Change Orders for which there is long lead time in
obtaining the materials therefor or which are specially or specifically
manufactured, produced or milled for the work in or to the Third Amendment
Premises A and require additional time for receipt or installation;
	 
	 	(d)	 	Any delay due to changes, alterations or additions required or made by
Tenant with respect to items not shown on the Plans including, without
limitation, Change Orders; or
	 
	 	(e)	 	Any other delays caused by Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, architects,
engineers, or anyone else engaged by Tenant in connection with the preparation
of the Third Amendment Premises A for Tenant’s occupancy, including, without
limitation, utility companies and other entities furnishing communications,
data processing or other service, equipment, or furniture.

	 	(2)	 	Tenant Obligations with Respect to Tenant Delays.

	 	(a)	 	Tenant covenants that no Tenant Delay shall delay commencement of the
Third Amendment Premises A Commencement Date or the obligation to pay Base
Rent or any other charges due under the Lease, regardless of the reason for
such Tenant Delay or whether or not it is within the control of Tenant or any
such employee. Landlord’s Work shall be deemed substantially completed as of
the date when Landlord’s Work would have been substantially completed but for
any
Tenant Delays, as determined by Landlord in the exercise of its good faith
business judgment.

Exhibit C-2

 

 

	 	(b)	 	Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the reasonable amount, if any, by which
the cost of Landlord’s Work is increased as the result of any Tenant Delay.

	 
	 	(c)	 	

Any amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under this Section 1.1(B)(2) shall
be due and payable within thirty (30) days of billing therefor, which billing
shall include a detailed description and itemization of the costs incurred by
Landlord for which it seeks reimbursement. Nothing contained in this Section
1.1(B)(2) shall limit or qualify or prejudice any other covenants, agreements,
terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease.

	1.2	 	FAILURE OF LANDLORD TO COMPLETE WORK.

(A) If Landlord shall have failed substantially to complete Landlord’s Work described in the
Plans on or before May 15, 2008 (which date shall be extended automatically for such periods
of time as Landlord is prevented from proceeding with or completing the same by reason of
Landlord’s Force Majeure or any Tenant Delay without limiting Landlord’s other rights on
account thereof, provided, however, that such date shall not be extended for Landlord’s
Force Majeure in excess of one hundred and twenty (120) days), the Base Rent shall be abated
by one (1) day for every one (1) day beyond May 15, 2008 (as so extended) that Landlord thus
fails to substantially complete the Landlord’s Work described in the Plans.

(B) The foregoing rent abatement shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in
equity or otherwise for Landlord’s failure to substantially complete the Landlord’s Work
within the time periods set forth above.

	1.3	 	TENANT PLAN EXCESS COSTS. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Work Letter to the
contrary, it is understood and agreed that Tenant shall be fully responsible for the costs of (i)
any items of work not shown on Exhibit C-1 attached hereto that are requested by Tenant of Landlord
to be performed in connection with Landlord’s Work and (ii) these items of work specified on the
turnkey matrix (attached as Exhibit C-1) as being at Tenant’s cost and expense (the “Tenant Plan
Excess Costs”). To the extent, if any, that there are Tenant Plan Excess Costs, Tenant shall pay
Landlord, 50% of the Tenant Plan Excess Costs prior to the commencement of the Landlord’s Work,
with the balance of the Tenant Plan Excess Costs due upon substantial completion of the Landlord’s
Work; provided, however, that in the event that the Tenant Plan Excess Costs exceed $30,000 (the
“Maximum Amount”), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at the time that Tenant approves any Change
Order that causes the Tenant Plan Excess Costs to exceed the Maximum Amount, all Tenant Plan Excess
Costs in excess of the Maximum Amount.

	1.4	 	WIRING AND CABLING ALLOWANCE FOR PREMISES A. Landlord shall provide to
Tenant a special allowance equal in the amount of $59,956.00 (the “Wiring and Cabling
Allowance”) to be used and applied by Tenant solely on account of the cost of the
installation and connection of wiring and cabling in the Third Amendment Premises A in
accordance with the terms of the Lease (the “Wiring and Cabling Work”). Provided that the
Tenant (i) has completed all of such Wiring and Cabling
Work in accordance with the terms of the Lease, has paid for all of such Wiring and Cabling
Work in full and has delivered to Landlord lien

Exhibit C-2

 

 

waivers from all persons who might have a lien as a result of such work, in the recordable
form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) has delivered to Landlord its certificate
specifying the cost of such Wiring and Cabling Work and all contractors, subcontractors and
supplies involved with the Wiring and Cabling Work, together with evidence of such cost in
the form of paid invoices, receipts and the like, (iii) has satisfied the requirements of
(i) and (ii) above and made request for such payment on or before the date that is one
hundred and eighty (180) days after the Third Amendment Premises A Commencement Date, (iv)
is not otherwise in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period,
and (v) there are no liens (unless bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord)
against Tenant’s interest in the Lease arising out of the Wiring and Cabling Work, then
within thirty (30) days after the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, the Landlord
shall pay to the Tenant the lesser of the amount of such costs so certified or the amount of
the Wiring and Cabling Allowance. Landlord shall be under no obligation to apply any
portion of the Wiring and Cabling Allowance for any purposes other than as provided herein,
nor shall Landlord be deemed to have assumed any obligations, in whole or in part, of Tenant
to any contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, workers or material men. Further, the Wiring
and Cabling Allowance shall only be applied towards the cost of leasehold improvements and
in no event shall Landlord be required to make application of any portion of the Wiring and
Cabling Allowance towards Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures (except to the extent
that the Wiring and Cabling Work includes the same) or moving expenses or on account of any
supervisory fees, overhead, management fees or other payments to Tenant, or any partner or
affiliate of Tenant. In the event that such cost of the Wiring and Cabling Work is less than
the Wiring and Cabling Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment or credit nor
there any application of the same toward Base Rent or any other charges owed by Tenant under
the Lease.
