Time but prior to the earlier of the Separation Time and the Expiration Time, shall evidence one Right for each Common Share represented thereby and, commencing as soon as reasonably practical after the Record Time, shall have impressed on, printed
on, written on or otherwise affixed to them (i) the legend set forth in Section 2.1 of the Original Plan, which legend shall be deemed to be amended for all purposes to read the same as the following legend, or (ii) the following

may become void (if, in certain cases, they are “Beneficially Owned” by an “Acquiring Person”, as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement, or a transferee thereof) or may be. evidenced by separate certificates and may no
longer be evidenced by this certificate. The Corporation will mail or arrange for the mailing of a copy of the Rights Agreement to the holder of this certificate without charge as soon as practicable after the receipt of a written request
therefor.” 
  

	 	(b)	Certificates representing Common Shares that are issued and outstanding at the Record Time or the date hereof shall evidence one Right for each Common Share evidenced
thereby, notwithstanding the absence of the foregoing legend, until the earlier of the Separation Time and the Expiration Time.

Shares are subject to adjustment as set forth below). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Rights held by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be void. 

 

	 	(b)	Until the Separation Time, (i) the Rights shall not be exercisable and no Right may be exercised and (ii) for administrative purposes, each Right will be
evidenced by the certificate for the associated Common Share registered in the name of the holder thereof (which certificate shall be deemed to represent a Rights Certificate) and will be transferable only together with, and will be transferred by a
transfer of, such associated Common Share. 

  

	 	(c)	From and after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, the Rights may be exercised, and the registration and transfer of the Rights shall be separate from
and independent of Common Shares. Promptly following the Separation Time, the Corporation will prepare or cause to be prepared and the Rights Agent will mail to each holder of record of Common Shares as of the Separation Time and, in respect of each
Convertible Security converted into Common Shares after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, promptly after such conversion, the Corporation will prepare or cause to be prepared and the Rights Agent will mail to the holder so

holder’s address as shown by the records of the Corporation (the Corporation hereby agreeing to furnish copies of such record to the Rights Agent for this purpose): 

 

	 	(i)	a Rights Certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto appropriately completed, representing the number of Rights held by such holder at the Separation Time

comply with any law, rule or regulation or judicial or administrative order, or with any article or regulation of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Rights may from time to time be listed or traded, or to conform to usage; and

  

	 	(ii)	a disclosure statement prepared by the Corporation describing the Rights, provided that a Nominee shall be sent the materials provided for in (i) and
(ii) only in respect of all Common Shares held of record by it which are not Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person and the Corporation may require any Nominee or suspected Nominee to provide such information and documentation as the
Corporation may reasonably require for such purpose. 

  

	 	(d)	Rights may be exercised in whole or in part on any Business Day after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time by submitting to the Rights Agent, at its

manner acceptable to the Rights Agent; and 

  

	 	(iii)	payment by certified cheque, banker’s draft or money order payable to the order of Computershare Investor Services, of a sum equal to the Exercise Price multiplied
by the number of Rights being exercised and a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates or the issuance or delivery of certificates
for Common Shares in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being exercised. 

  

	 	(e)	Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate, which is accompanied by an appropriately completed and duly executed Election to Exercise (which does not indicate that such Right
is null and void as provided by Subsection 3.1(b)) and payment as set forth in Subsection 2.2(d), the Rights Agent (unless otherwise instructed by the Corporation) will thereupon promptly: 

 

	 	(i)	requisition from the transfer agent of the Common Shares certificates representing the number of Common Shares to be purchased (the Corporation hereby irrevocably
authorizing its transfer agent to comply with all such requisitions); 

  

	 	(ii)	after receipt of such Common Share certificates, deliver such certificates to, or to the order of, the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such
name or names as may be designated by such holder; 

  

	 	(iii)	when appropriate, requisition from the Corporation the amount of cash, if any, to be paid in lieu of issuing fractional Common Shares; 

 

	 	(iv)	when appropriate, after receipt of such cash, deliver such cash to, or to the order of, the registered holder of the Rights Certificate; and 

 

	 	(v)	tender to the Corporation all payments received on exercise of the Rights. 

 

	 	(f)	If the holder of any Rights shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced by such holder’s Rights Certificate, a new Rights Certificate evidencing the Rights
remaining unexercised subject to subsection 5.5(a) will be issued by the Rights Agent to such holder or to such holder’s duly authorized assigns. 

  

	 	(g)	The Corporation shall: 

  

	 	(i)	take all such action as may be necessary and within its power to ensure, that all Common Shares delivered upon the exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of
the certificates for such Common Shares (subject to payment of the Exercise Price), be duly and validly authorized, executed, issued and delivered as fully paid and non-assessable; 

 

	 	(ii)	 take all such action as may reasonably be considered to be necessary and within its power to comply with any applicable requirements of the Business
Corporations Act or the Securities Act, the U.S. Exchange Act, the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and comparable legislation of each of the provinces and territories

  

 -17-

Rights, the Rights Certificates and the issuance of any Common Shares upon exercise of the Rights; 

  

	 	(iii)	use reasonable efforts to cause all Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Rights to be listed on the stock exchanges on which the Common Shares are listed at that
time; 

  

	 	(iv)	cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares, the number of Common Shares that, as provided in this Agreement, will from
time to time be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights; 

  

	 	(v)	pay when due and payable, if applicable, any and all federal, provincial, state and municipal taxes (not in the nature of income, capital gains or withholding taxes)
and charges which may be payable in respect of the original issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates or certificates for Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Rights, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any transfer
tax or charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer of Rights or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Rights, in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being transferred or
exercised; and 

  

	 	(vi)	after the Separation Time, except as permitted by Section 5.1 or Section 5.4 hereof, not take (or permit any Affiliate of the Corporation to take) any action
if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. 

 

	2.3	Adjustments to Exercise Price; Number of Rights 

  

	 	(a)	The Exercise Price, the number and kind of securities subject to purchase upon exercise of each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment
from time to time as provided in this Section 2.3 and in Article 3. 

  

	 	(b)	In the event that the Corporation shall at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Time: 

 

	 	(i)	declare or pay a dividend on the Common Shares payable in Voting Shares or Convertible Securities in respect thereof other than pursuant to any dividend reinvestment
plan; 

  

	 	(ii)	subdivide or change the then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; 

 

	 	(iii)	consolidate or change the then outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares; or 

 

	 	(iv)	issue any Voting Shares (or Convertible Securities in respect thereof) in respect of, in lieu of or in exchange for existing Common Shares, whether in a
reclassification, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, consolidation or otherwise; 

  

 -18- 

 the Exercise Price and the number of Rights outstanding (or, if the payment or effective
date therefor shall occur after the Separation Time, the securities purchasable upon the exercise of Rights) shall be adjusted as follows: 
  

	 	(A)	If the Exercise Price and number of Rights outstanding are to be adjusted: 

 

	 	1)	the Exercise Price in effect alter such adjustment will be equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment divided by the number of Common
Shares (or other securities of the Corporation) (the “Expansion Factor”) that a holder of one Common Share immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision, change, combination or issuance would hold thereafter as a result thereof;
and 

  

	 	2)	each Right held prior to such adjustment will become that number of Rights equal to the Expansion Factor, and the adjusted number of Rights will be deemed to be
allocated among the Common Shares with respect to which the original Rights were associated (if they remain outstanding) and the securities of the Corporation issued in respect of such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance, so
that each such Common Share (or other security of the Corporation) will have exactly one Right associated with it. 

  

	 	(B)	If the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights are to be adjusted, the securities purchasable upon exercise of each Right after such adjustment will be the
securities that a holder of the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance would hold thereafter as a result thereof. 

 

	 	(c)	Adjustments pursuant to Subsection 2.3(b) shall be made successively, whenever an event referred to in Subsection 2.3(b) occurs. 

 

	 	(d)	If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 2.3 and Section 3.1 hereof, the adjustment provided for in this Section 2.3
shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof. 

  

	 	(e)	In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the dale hereof and prior to the Separation Time issue any Common Shares otherwise than in a transaction referred
to in Subsection 2.3(b), each such Common Share so issued shall automatically have one new Right associated with it, which Right shall be evidenced by the certificate representing such Common Share. 

 

	 	(f)	In the event the Corporation shall, at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Time, fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all
holders of Common Shares of rights or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or Convertible Securities in respect of Common Shares) at a price per
Common Share (or, in the case of such a Convertible Security, having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share (including the price required to be paid to purchase such Convertible Security)) less than 90% of the Market Price per Common
Share on such record date, the Exercise Price in effect after such record date will equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date multiplied by a fraction; 

 

 -19- 

	 	(i)	of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the
total number of Common Shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion, exchange or exercise price of the Convertible Securities so to be offered (including the price required to be paid to purchase such Convertible Securities))
would purchase at such Market Price per Common Share; and 

  

	 	(ii)	of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares to be offered for subscription
or purchase (or into which the Convertible Securities so to be offered are initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable). 

In case such subscription price is satisfied, in whole or in part, by consideration other than cash, the value of such consideration shall
be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise
Price shall be readjusted in the manner contemplated above based on the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued on the exercise of such rights or warrants. 

For purposes of this Agreement, the granting of the right to purchase Common Shares (whether from treasury or otherwise) pursuant to any
dividend or interest reinvestment plan or any share purchase plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation or the investment of periodic optional payments or employee benefit or similar plans
(so long as such right to purchase is in no case evidenced by the delivery of rights or warrants by the Corporation) shall not be deemed to constitute an issue of rights or warrants by the Corporation; provided, however, that in the case of any
dividend or interest reinvestment or share purchase plan, the right to purchase Common Shares is at a price per share of not less than 90% of the current Market Price per share (determined as provided in such plans) of the Common Shares. 

 

	 	(g)	In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Time fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders
of Common Shares of (i) evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than a Regular Periodic Cash Dividend or a dividend paid in Common Shares, but including any dividend payable in securities other than Common Shares), (ii) rights or
warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Voting Shares (or Convertible Securities in respect of Voting Shares), at a price per Voting Share (or, in the case of a Convertible Security in respect of Voting Shares, having a conversion,
exchange or exercise price per share (including the price required to be paid to purchase such Convertible Security)) less than 90% of the Market Price per Common Share on such record date (excluding rights or warrants referred to in Subsection
2.3(f)) or (iii) other securities of the Corporation, the Exercise Price in effect after such record date shall be equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the assets, evidences of indebtedness, rights or warrants or other securities so to be distributed applicable to each of the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right. Such adjustment shall
be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. 

  

 -20- 

	 	(h)	Each adjustment made pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be made as of 

  

	 	(i)	the payment or effective date for the applicable dividend, subdivision, change, combination or issuance, in the case of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsection 2.3(b)
above; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the record date for the applicable dividend or distribution, in the case of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsections 2.3(f) or 2.3(g) above, subject to readjustment
to reverse the same if such distribution shall not be made. 

  

	 	(i)	In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Time issue any shares (other than Common Shares), or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any such shares, or Convertible Securities in respect of any such shares, in a transaction referred to in any of subclauses 2.3(b)(i) to (iv) above, if the Board of Directors acting in good faith determines that the
adjustments contemplated by Subsections 2.3(b), 2.3(f) and 2.3(g) above in connection with such transaction will not appropriately protect the interests of the holders of Rights, the Board of Directors may from time to time, but subject to obtaining
the prior approval of the holders of the Rights obtained as set forth in Subsection 5.4, determine what other adjustments to the Exercise Price, number of Rights or securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights would be appropriate and,
notwithstanding Subsections 2.3(b), 2.3(f) and 2.3(g) above, such adjustments, rather than the adjustments contemplated by Subsections 2.3(b), 2.3(f) and 2.3(g) above, shall be made upon the Board of Directors providing written certification thereof
to the Rights Agent pursuant to Subsection 2.3(q). 

  

	 	(j)	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of
at least 1 % in such Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection 2.3(j)) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All adjustments to
the Exercise Price made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be calculated to the nearest cent. 

  

	 	(k)	All Rights originally issued by the Corporation subsequent to any adjustment made to an Exercise Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted
Exercise Price, the number of Common Shares purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. 

 

	 	(1)	Unless the Corporation shall have exercised its election, as provided in Subsection 2.3(m), upon each adjustment of an Exercise Price as a result of the calculations
made in Subsections 2.3(f) and 2.3(g), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, that number of Common Shares obtained by;

  

	 	(i)	multiplying (A) the number of Common Shares covered by a Right immediately prior to such adjustment, by (B) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment; and 

  

	 	(ii)	dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. 

 

	 	(m)	 The Corporation may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of an Exercise Price to

  

 -21- 

	 	 
adjust the number of Rights, in lieu of any adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Right. Bach of the Rights outstanding after the adjustment in the number
of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of Common Shares for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become the number of Rights
obtained by dividing the relevant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the relevant Exercise Price by the relevant Exercise Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the relevant Exercise Price. The Corporation shall
make a public announcement of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the relevant
Exercise Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but, if the Rights Certificates have been issued, shall be at least 10 calendar days later than the date of the public announcement. If Rights Certificates have been issued, upon each adjustment of
the number of Rights pursuant to this Subsection 2.3(m), the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Rights Certificates on such record date, Rights Certificates evidencing, subject to
Section 5.5, the additional Rights to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Corporation, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement for the
Rights Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Corporation, new Rights Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment,
Rights Certificates so to be distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein and may bear, at the option of the Corporation, the relevant adjusted Exercise Price and shall be registered in the names of
holders of record of Rights Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement. 

  

	 	(n)	In any case in which this Section 2.3 shall require that an adjustment in an Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the
Corporation may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuance to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date of the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Corporation, if any, issuable upon such exercise
over and above the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Corporation, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the relevant Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall
deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares (fractional or otherwise) or other securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

  

	 	(o)	Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.3 to the contrary, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such adjustments in the Exercise Price, in addition to
those adjustments expressly required by this Section 2.3, as and to the extent that in its good faith judgment the Board of Directors shall determine to be advisable in order that any (i) subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares,
(ii) issuance wholly for cash of any Common Shares at less than the applicable Market Price, (iii) issuance wholly for cash of any Common Shares or securities that by their terms are exchangeable for or convertible into or give a right to
acquire Common Shares, (iv) stock dividends, or (v) issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 2.3, hereafter made by the Corporation to holders of its Common Shares, shall not be taxable to such shareholders.

  

	 	(p)	Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may
continue to represent the securities so purchasable which were represented in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder. 

  

 -22- 

	 	(q)	Whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price is made pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Corporation shall 

 

	 	(i)	promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment; and 

 

	 	(ii)	promptly file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares a copy of such certificate and mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of
Rights who requests a copy. 

 Failure to file such certificate or to cause such notice to be given as aforesaid,
or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment or change. 
  

	2.4	Date on Which Exercise is Effective 

Each Person in whose name any certificate for Common Shares is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have
become the holder of record of the Common Shares represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered (together with a duly completed Election to
Exercise) and payment of the Exercise Price for such Rights (and any applicable transfer taxes and other governmental charges payable by the exercising Person hereunder) was made; provided, however, that if the dale of such surrender and payment is
a date upon which the Common Share transfer books of the Corporation are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next Business Day on which the Common Share
transfer books of the Corporation are open. 
  

	2.5	Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating of Rights Certificates 

 

	 	(a)	The Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or any Vice
President. The signature of any of these officers on the Rights Certificates may be manual or facsimile. Rights Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Corporation shall
bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Rights Certificates. 

 

	 	(b)	Promptly following the Separation Time, the Corporation will notify the Rights Agent of such Separation Time and will deliver Rights Certificates executed by the
Corporation to the Rights Agent for countersignature and a statement describing the Rights, and the Rights Agent shall countersign (manually or by facsimile signature) and deliver such Rights Certificates and statement to the holders of the Rights
pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. No Rights Certificate shall be valid for any purpose until countersigned by the Rights Agent as aforesaid. 

  

	 	(c)	Each Rights Certificate shall be dated the date of countersignature thereof. 

  

 -23- 

	2.6	Registration, Transfer and Exchange 

  

	 	(a)	After the Separation Time, the Corporation shall cause to be kept a register (the “Rights Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, the Corporation will provide for the registration and transfer of Rights. The Rights Agent is hereby appointed “Rights Registrar” for the purpose of maintaining the Rights Register for the Corporation and
registering Rights and transfers of Rights as herein provided and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment. In the event that the Rights Agent shall cease to be the Rights Registrar, the Rights Agent will have the right to examine the Rights
Register at all reasonable times. 

  

	 	(b)	After the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of any Rights Certificate, and subject to the
provisions of Subsections 2.6(d) and 3.1(b) below, the Corporation will execute, and the Rights Agent will countersign, deliver and register, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the
holder’s instructions, one or more new Rights Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number of Rights as did the Rights Certificates so surrendered. 

 

	 	(c)	All Rights issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Rights Certificates shall be valid obligations of the Corporation, and such Rights shall be entitled
to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Rights surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

  

	 	(d)	Every Rights Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Corporation or the Rights Agent, as the case may be, duly executed by the holder thereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, As a condition to the issuance of any new Rights Certificate under this
Section 2.6, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent) in
connection therewith, 

  

	2.7	Mutilated, Lost, Stolen and Destroyed Rights Certificates 

  

	 	(a)	if any mutilated Rights Certificate is surrendered to the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time, the Corporation shall execute and the Rights Agent shall
countersign and deliver in exchange therefor a new Rights Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so surrendered. 

  

	 	(b)	If there shall be delivered to the Corporation and the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time: (i) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Rights Certificate; and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them and any of their agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Corporation or the Rights Agent that
such Rights Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and, upon the Corporation’s request the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Rights
Certificate, a new Rights Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so destroyed, lost or stolen. 

  

	 	(c)	As a condition to the issuance of any new Rights Certificate under this Section 2.7, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent) connected therewith. 

 

 -24- 

	 	(d)	Every new Rights Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate shall evidence a contractual
obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other
Rights duly issued hereunder. 

  

	2.8	Persons Deemed Owners 

The Corporation, the Rights Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Rights Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name a
Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Share certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby for all purposes whatsoever. As used in this Agreement, unless the context
otherwise requires, the term “holder” of any Rights shall mean the registered holder of such Rights (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Shares). 

 

	2.9	Delivery and Cancellation of Certificates 

All Rights Certificates surrendered upon exercise or for redemption, for registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any
person other than the Rights Agent, be delivered to the Rights Agent and, in any case, shall be promptly cancelled by the Rights Agent. The Corporation may at any time deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation any Rights Certificates previously
countersigned and delivered hereunder which the Corporation may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Rights Certificates so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Rights Agent. No Rights Certificate shall be countersigned in lieu of
or in exchange for any Rights Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 2.9 except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. The Rights Agent shall, subject to applicable law, destroy all cancelled Rights Certificates and deliver a
certificate of destruction to the Corporation. 
  

	2.10	Agreement of Rights Holders 

Every holder of Rights, by accepting such Rights, consents and agrees with the Corporation and the Rights Agent and with every other
holder of Rights: 
  

	 	(a)	to be bound by and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, in respect of all Rights held;

  

	 	(b)	that, prior to the Separation Time, each Right will be transferable only together with, and will be transferred by a transfer of, the associated Common Share;

  

	 	(c)	that, after the Separation Time, the Rights will be transferable only on the Rights Register as provided herein; 

 

	 	(d)	that, prior to due presentment of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Share certificate) for registration of transfer, the
Corporation, the Rights Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Share certificate) is registered as the
absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on such Rights Certificate or the associated Common Share certificate made by anyone other than the Corporation or the Rights Agent)
for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; 

  

 -25- 

	 	(c)	that such holder of Rights has waived its right to receive any fractional Rights or any fractional Common Shares or other securities upon exercise of a Right (except as
provided herein); 

  

	 	(f)	that, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4 without the approval of any holder of Rights or Voting Shares and upon the sole authority of the Board of Directors
acting in good faith, this Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time as provided herein; and 

  

	 	(g)	notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a Right or any other
Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental,
regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation.

 ARTICLE 3 

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RIGHTS 
  

	3.1	Flip-in Event 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to subsections 3. 1 (b) and 5.1 (b), 5.1(c) and 5.1(d) hereof, in the event that prior to the Expiration Time a Flip-in Event occurs, the Corporation shall
take such action as shall be necessary to ensure and provide, within 10 Business Days thereafter or such longer period as may he required to satisfy the requirements of applicable securities acts or comparable legislation so that, except as provided
below, each Right shall thereafter constitute the right to purchase from the Corporation, upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms hereof, that number of Common Shares of the Corporation as have an aggregate Market Price on the date of
consummation or occurrence of such Flip-in Event equal to twice the Exercise Price for an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price (such right to be appropriately adjusted in a manner analogous to the applicable adjustment provided for in
Section 2.3 in the event that, after such date of consummation or occurrence, an event of a type analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3 shall have occurred with respect to such Common Shares) 

 

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Flip-in Event, any Rights that are or were Beneficially Owned on or after the
earlier of the Separation Time and the Stock Acquisition Date, or which may thereafter be Beneficially Owned, by: 

  

	 	(i)	an Acquiring Person (or any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person or any other Person acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person or any Associate or
Affiliate of such other Person); or 

  

	 	(ii)	 a transferee of Rights, direct or indirect, from an Acquiring Person (or from any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person or any Person acting
jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person or any associate or Affiliate thereof) where such a transferee becomes a transferee concurrently with or subsequent to the Acquiring

  

 -26- 

	 	 
Person becoming an Acquiring Person in a transfer that the Board of Directors has determined is part of a plan, arrangement or scheme of an Acquiring Person (or of any Person acting jointly or in
concert with an Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person), that has the purpose or effect of avoiding clause 3.1(b)(i); 

shall become null and void without any further action and any holder of such Rights (including any transferee of, or other successor
entitled to, such Rights, whether directly or indirectly) shall thereafter have no right to exercise such Rights under any provisions of this Agreement and further shall thereafter not have any rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights, whether
under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise. The holder of any Rights represented by a Rights Certificate which is submitted to the Rights Agent upon exercise or for registration of transfer or exchange which does not contain the necessary
certifications set forth in the Rights Certificate establishing that such Rights are not void under this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for the purposes of this Subsection 3.1 (b) and such Rights shall become null
and void. 
  

	 	(c)	Any Rights Certificate that represents Rights Beneficially Owned by a Person described in either of subclauses 3.1(b)(i) or 3.1 (b)(ii)or transferred to any Nominee of
any such Person, and any Rights Certificate issued upon transfer, exchange, replacement or adjustment of any other Rights Certificate, referred to in this sentence, shall contain or will be deemed to contain the following legend:

 “The Rights represented by this Rights Certificate were issued to a Person who was an Acquiring Person or
an Affiliate or an Associate of an Acquiring Person (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement) or acting jointly or in concert with any of them. This Rights Certificate and the Rights represented hereby shall be void in the circumstances
specified in Subsection 3.1(h) of the Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement.” 
 The Rights Agent shall not be under any
responsibility to ascertain the existence of facts that would require the imposition of such legend but shall be required to impose such legend only if instructed to do so in writing by the Corporation or if a holder fails to certify upon transfer
or exchange in the space provided to do so. 
  

	 	(d)	After the Separation Time, the Corporation shall do all such acts and things necessary and within its power to ensure compliance with the provisions of this
Section 3.1 including, without limitation, all such acts and things as may be required to satisfy the requirements of the Business Corporations Act, the Securities Act and applicable securities laws or comparable legislation in each of the
provinces of Canada and in any other jurisdiction where the Corporation is subject to such laws and the rules of the stock exchanges or quotation systems where the Common Shares are listed or quoted at such time in respect of the issue of Common
Shares upon the exercise of Rights in accordance with this Agreement. 

  

	3.2	Fiduciary Duties of the Board of Directors of the Corporation 

For clarification, it is understood that nothing contained in this Article 3 shall be considered to affect the obligations of the Board of
Directors to exercise its fiduciary duties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors shall not be entitled to recommend that holders of the Voting
Shares reject or accept any Take-over Bid or take any 
  

 -27- 

 
other action including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution, defence or settlement of any litigation and the submission of additional or alterative Take-over Bids or other proposals
to the shareholders of the Corporation with respect to any Takeover Bid or otherwise that the Board of Directors believes is necessary or appropriate in the exercise of its fiduciary duties. 

ARTICLE 4 

THE RIGHTS AGENT 
  

	4.1	General 

  

	 	(a)	The Corporation hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as agent for the Corporation and the holders of the Rights in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof,
and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Corporation may from time to time appoint such co-rights agents (“Co-Rights Agents”) as it may deem necessary or desirable subject to the prior written approval of the Rights
Agent. In the event the Corporation appoints one or more Co-Rights Agents, the respective duties of the Rights Agent and Co-Rights Agents shall be as the Corporation may determine with the written approval of the Rights Agent. The Corporation agrees
to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and other disbursements reasonably incurred in the administration and
execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other experts consulted by the Rights Agent pursuant to Subsection 4.3(a). The Corporation also
agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent, its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, damage or expense, incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on
the part of the Rights Agent, for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement, including the legal costs and expenses, which right to indemnification will survive the
termination of this Agreement or the removal or resignation of the Rights Agent. 

  

	 	(b)	The Rights Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration
of this Agreement in reliance upon any certificate for Common Shares, Rights Certificate, certificate for other securities of the Corporation, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice,
direction, consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or Persons. 

 

	 	(c)	The Corporation shall inform the Rights Agent in a reasonably timely manner of events which may materially affect the administration of this Agreement by the Rights
Agent and, at any time upon request, shall provide to the Rights Agent an incumbency certificate certifying the then current officers of the Corporation. 

  

	4.2	Merger, Amalgamation, Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent 

 

	 	(a)	 Any corporation into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or amalgamated or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, amalgamation or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent is a party, or any corporation succeeding to the shareholder services business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights
Agent, will be the successor to the Rights Agent under 

  

 -28- 

	 	 
this Agreement without the execution or filling of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment; as a
successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent succeeds to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Rights Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered any
such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates have not been countersigned, any successor
Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates will have the full force provided in the Rights
Certificates and in this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	In case at any time the name of the Rights Agent is changed and at such time any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights
Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Rights
Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement. 

 

	4.3	Duties of Rights Agent 

The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which
the Corporation and the holders of Rights Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound: 
  

	 	(a)	The Rights Agent may retain and consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Corporation) or such other experts that the Rights Agent considers
necessary to carry out its duties under this Agreement and the opinion of such counsel or other expert will be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance
with such opinion; the Rights Agent may also, with the approval of the Corporation (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), consult with such other experts as the Rights Agent shall consider necessary or appropriate to properly carry out the
duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to act and rely in good faith on the advice of any such expert. 

  

	 	(b)	Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the
Corporation prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by a
person believed by the Rights Agent to be the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, a Vice President or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate will be
full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 

 

	 	(c)	The Rights Agent will be liable hereunder only for its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 

 

	 	(d)	 The Rights Agent will not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals

  

 -29- 

	 	 
contained in this Agreement or in the certificates for Common Shares, or the Rights Certificates (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, and all such statements
and recitals are and will be deemed to have been made by the Corporation only. 

  

	 	(e)	The Rights Agent will not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due authorization,
execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Common Share certificate, or Rights Certificate (except its countersignature thereon) nor will it be responsible for any breach by the Corporation
of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor will it be responsible for any change in the exercisability of the Rights (including the Rights becoming void pursuant to Subsection 3.1(b) hereof or any
adjustment required under the provisions of Section 2.3) hereof or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment (except with respect to
the exercise of Rights after receipt of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.3 describing any such adjustment or any written notice from the Corporation or any holder that a Person has become an Acquiring Person); nor will it by any act
hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization of any Common Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Rights or as to any Common Shares, when issued, being duly and validly authorized, issued and
delivered as fully paid and non-assessable. 

  

	 	(f)	The Corporation agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other
acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement. 

 

	 	(g)	The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any individual believed by the
Rights Agent to be the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, a Vice President or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, and to apply to such individuals for advice or instructions in connection with its
duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such individual. It is understood that instructions to the Rights Agent shall, except where circumstances make it
impractical or (he Rights Agent otherwise agrees, be given in writing and, where not in writing, such instructions shall be confirmed in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after the giving of such instructions. 

 

	 	(h)	Subject to applicable law, the Rights Agent and any shareholder or director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in Common Shares, Rights or
other securities of the Corporation or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Corporation may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Corporation or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the
Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Corporation or for any other legal entity. 

 

	 	(i)	The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or
agents, and the Rights Agent will not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Corporation resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided
reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof. 

  

 -30- 

	4.4	Change of Rights Agent 

 The Rights Agent
may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving 60 days’ prior written notice (or such lesser notice as is acceptable to the. Corporation) to the Corporation, to each transfer agent of Common Shares and to the
holders of the Rights, all in accordance with Section 5.9 and at the expense of the Corporation. The Corporation may remove the Rights Agent by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Rights Agent, to each transfer agent of the Common
Shares and to the holders of the Rights in accordance with Section 5.9. If the Rights Agent should resign or be removed or otherwise become incapable of acting, the Corporation will appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Corporation
fails to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of any Rights (which holder
shall, with such notice, submit such holder’s Rights Certificate for inspection of the Corporation), then the holder of any Rights or the Rights Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent at
the Corporation’s expense. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Corporation or by such a court, must be a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada or a province thereof and authorized to carry on the business of a trust
company in the Province of Ontario. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent will be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the
predecessor Rights Agent, upon receipt of any outstanding fees and expenses then owing, shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance,
conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Corporation will file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Shares and mail
a notice thereof in writing to the holders of the Rights in accordance with Section 5.9. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 4.4, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the
resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be 
 ARTICLE 5

 MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	5.1	Redemption, Waiver and Termination 

  

	 	(a)	The Board of Directors acting in good faith may, with the prior consent of holders of Voting Shares or of the holders of Rights given in accordance with subsection
5.1(f) or 5.1 (g), as the case may be, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event as to which the application of Section 3.1 has not been waived pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1, elect to redeem all but not less
than all of the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.000001 per Right appropriately adjusted in a manner analogous to the applicable adjustment provided for in Section 2.3 in the event that an event of the type analogous to any
of the events described in Section 2.3 shall have occurred (such redemption price being herein referred to as the “Redemption Price”). 

 

	 	(b)	 The Board of Directors acting in good faith may, with the prior consent of the holders of Voting Shares given in accordance with subsection 5.1(f),
determine, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event as to which the application of Section 3.1 has not been waived pursuant to this Section 5.1, if such Flip-in Event would occur by reason of an acquisition of Voting Shares
otherwise than pursuant to a Take-over Bid made by means of a Take-over Bid 

  

 -31- 

	 	 
circular to all holders of record of Voting Shares and otherwise than in the circumstances set forth in subsection 5.1(d), to waive the application of Section 3.1 to such Flip-in Event. In
the event that the Board of Directors proposes such a waiver, the Board of Directors shall extend the Separation Time to a date subsequent to and not more than ten Business Days following the meeting of shareholders called to approve such waiver.

  

	 	(c)	The Board of Directors acting in good faith may, prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event as to which the application of Section 3.1 has not been waived under
this clause, determine, upon prior written notice to the Rights Agent, to waive the application of Section 3.1 to that Flip-in Event provided that the Flip-in Event would occur by reason of a Take-over Bid made by means of a Take-over Bid sent
circular to all holders of record of Common Shares and provided, further, that if the Board of Directors waives the application of Section 3.1 to such a Flip-in Event, the Board of Directors shall be deemed to have waived the application of
Section 3.1 to any other Flip-in Event occurring by reason of any Take-over Bid made by means of a Take-over Bid circular to all holders of record of Common Shares which is made prior to the expiry of any Take-over Bid in respect of which a
waiver is, or is deemed to have been, granted under this subsection 5.1(c). 

  

	 	(d)	The Board of Directors acting in good faith may, in respect of any Flip-in Event waive the application of Section 3.1 to that Flip-in Event, provided that both of
the following conditions are satisfied: 

  

	 	(i)	the Board of Directors has determined that the Acquiring Person became an Acquiring Person by inadvertence and without any intent or knowledge that it would become an
Acquiring Person; and 

  

	 	(ii)	such Acquiring Person has reduced its Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares such that at the time of waiver pursuant to this subsection 5.1(d) it is no longer an
Acquiring Person. 

  

	 	(e)	The Board of Directors shall, without further formality, be deemed to have elected to redeem the Rights at the Redemption Price on the date that a Person who has made a
Permitted Bid or a Take-over Bid in respect of which the Board of Directors has waived, or is deemed to have waived, pursuant to subsection 5.1(c), the application of Section 3.1, takes up and pays for the Common Shares pursuant to the
Permitted Bid or Take-over Bid, as the case may be. 

  

	 	(f)	If a redemption of Rights pursuant to subsection 5.1(a) or a waiver of a Flip-in Event pursuant to subsection 5.1(b) is proposed at anytime prior to the Separation
Time, such redemption or waiver shall be submitted for approval to the holders of Common Shares. Such approval shall be deemed to have been given if the redemption or waiver is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voles cast by

Event, the Board of Directors may elect to redeem all the outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price. Upon such redemption, all of the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply as if the Separation Time had not occurred and the Separation

approved by the holders of Common Shares or the holders of Rights in accordance with subsection 5.1(f) or (g), as the case may be, the right to exercise the Rights will thereupon, without further action and without notice, terminate and the only
right thereafter of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.

then outstanding Rights by mailing such notice to each such holder at its last address as it appears upon the register of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Separation Time, on the register of the transfer agent for the Common Shares. Any notice
which is mailed in the manner herein provided will be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of redemption will state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. The Corporation may
not redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at anytime in any manner other than that specifically set forth in this Section 5.1 or in connection with the purchase of Common Shares prior to the Separation Time.

 ARTICLE II 

Premises and Term 

2.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, subject to and with the benefit of the
terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease, the Premises. 
 2.2 Term and Extension Options. TO HAVE AND
TO HOLD for the Initial Term. 
 2.3 Option to Extend. The Tenant shall have the option, to be exercised as hereinafter
provided, to extend the term of this Lease for two (2) successive periods of five (5) years each (the “Extension Terms”) following the expiration of the Initial Term, upon the condition that there is no then existing default by
Tenant in the performance of any condition of this Lease beyond any applicable notice or grace period. Each Extension Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions as provided in this Lease, except for the Annual Rent which shall be equal to 95%
of the “Fair Market Rental Value” of the Premises for the applicable Extension Term, as determined pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.3. If Tenant desires to exercise this option, it shall do so by giving written notice to
Landlord at least fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, or, if this Lease has previously been extended pursuant to this section, fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the first Extension Term. Tenant
shall not have the option to extend the term for more than two (2) Extension Terms. If Landlord and Tenant reach agreement regarding Annual Rent during the applicable Extension Term, they shall memorialize such agreement in an amendment to this
Lease entered into on or before the date that is twelve (12) months prior to expiration of the Initial Term (or First Extension Term, as applicable) (the “Arbitration Date”). If Landlord and Tenant have not reached agreement regarding
Annual Rent, then Tenant shall have the right to rescind its exercise of the extension option by delivering to Landlord prior to the 

 

 - 3 - 

 
Arbitration Date a notice stating that it has rescinded its exercise (the “Rescission Notice”). If by the Arbitration Date, no amendment memorializing Annual Rent has been executed and
Tenant has not delivered the Rescission Notice, then the exercise of the extension option shall be non-rescindable and the Annual Rent shall be determined as set forth below in this Section 2.3. 

The Annual Rent for the Extension Terms shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the “Fair Market Rental Value” of
the Premises for the applicable Extension Term, but in no event shall it be less than the Annual Rent payable hereunder during the last year of the prior Term, or if applicable, Extension Term. The Fair Market Rental Value for the Premises shall be
the estimated fair rental value of the Premises calculated as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Term, based on all the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation, the length of such Extension Term and the value of
similar space in buildings of similar size, location and quality within a five-mile radius of the Premises, such Fair Market Rental Value to reflect terms being negotiated in leases or reflected in leases that have been executed in arm’s length
transactions between willing landlords and willing tenants, each acting in its own best interest and without duress, and will take into consideration tenant improvements and other landlord concessions. Fair Market Rental Value shall be calculated on
the then “as is” condition of the Premises. If Tenant sends the notice referred to in the previous paragraph, Landlord shall reasonably and in good faith determine Fair Market Rental Value and shall set forth its determination in a notice
to Tenant sent at least eleven (11) months prior to the commencement of any Extension Term. Within thirty (30) days thereafter, Tenant shall give Landlord notice whether Tenant will (a) extend this Lease for an Extension Term at 95%
of the Fair Market Rental Value as determined by Landlord (or, if higher, at the rate previously in effect), or (b) require that the Fair Market Rental Value be determined by appraisal. Failure of Tenant to give notice to Landlord

  

 - 4 - 

 
within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s notice of Fair Market Rental Value shall be deemed an election by Tenant to require that Fair Market Rental Value be determined by appraisal. In the
event that Tenant requires or is deemed to have required that the Fair Market Rental Value be determined by appraisal, Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises for the applicable Extension Term shall be determined for the parties by three
appraisers, one selected by Landlord, one selected by Tenant, and one selected by the persons so selected by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of the name of its appraiser within thirty-five (35) days after Landlord sends to
Tenant Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rental Value as provided above, with Tenant’s failure to designate its appraiser within such 35-day period being deemed to be an acceptance by Tenant of the rent rate proposed by Landlord.
Landlord shall name its appraiser within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s designation of Tenant’s appraiser. The two appraisers so chosen shall appoint a third appraiser, which appraiser shall not have acted in any capacity for
either Landlord or Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Landlord names its appraiser. Each of Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraisers shall determine their respective valuations of the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises (each, and
“Appraisal”, collectively, the “Appraisals”) within twenty (20) days after the election of the third appraiser, and shall submit their Appraisals to the third appraiser. The third appraiser shall select the Appraisal which is
closest to the third appraiser’s own determination of Fair Market Rental Value. Each appraiser shall have a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience appraising commercial office buildings in the Boston metropolitan area and shall be a member
of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, the Society of Real Estate Appraisers, or the Society of Real Estate Counselors or comparably accredited. Landlord and Tenant shall pay the cost of the appraiser chosen by each of them. The cost
of the third appraiser shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. Except as provided above, all of the terms, covenants and agreements contained in this Lease shall continue during the Extension Term. Time is of the essence with respect to the
provisions of this Section 2.3.

 ARTICLE III

Address of Landlord or such other place as Landlord may by notice in writing to Tenant from time to time direct during the term of this Lease, the Annual Rental for the respective period set forth in Section 1.1 hereof. Except as provided in
Section 1.1 hereof, all rental payments are payable in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month included in the Rent Period and Extension Terms, if exercised; and for any portion of a calendar month at the
beginning or end of the Rent Period and the Extension Terms if exercised, at the applicable rate payable in advance prorated for the number of days in such portion. 

3.2 Additional Rent. For the period between the Commencement Date and the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant’s only obligation
under this Section 3.2 shall be for insurance costs and utility costs to the extent the same exceed $5,000 per month. From and after the Rent Commencement Date, in order that the Annual Rent shall be absolutely net to Landlord, Tenant covenants
and agrees to pay, as additional rent (“Additional Rent”), from and after the Rent Commencement Date, all real estate taxes, betterment assessments, insurance costs, and utilities charges with respect to the Premises as provided in this
Section 3.2 as follows: 
 (a) Real Estate Taxes. Tenant shall pay, directly to the authority charged with
collection thereof, the full amount of all taxes levied or assessed after the Rent Commencement Date by the municipality or any governmental authority having jurisdiction of the Premises, for or

  

 - 6 - 

 
in respect of the Premises or which may become a lien on the Premises, for each tax period wholly included in the Rent Period and, if exercised, the Extension Terms, all such payments to be made
not less than five (5) days prior to the last date on which the same may be paid without interest or penalty or fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of the tax bill, whichever is later. Landlord shall promptly furnish Tenant with
copies of all bills for taxes levied or assessed after the Rent Commencement Date, and, unless prohibited from doing so by any mortgagee of the Premises, shall request such municipality or governmental authority to send all bills for taxes directly
to Tenant. With respect to any fraction of a tax period included in the Rent Period or, if exercised, the Extension Terms, at the beginning or end thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a reasonably
detailed invoice therefor, the fraction of taxes so levied or assessed or becoming payable which is allocable to such included period. Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord with reasonable evidence of each such payment. If Tenant shall deem itself
aggrieved by any such tax or charge and shall elect to contest the payment thereof or seek abatement thereof, Tenant may make such payment under protest. Either party paying any tax shall be entitled to recover, receive and retain for its own
benefit all abatements and refunds of such tax, unless it has previously been reimbursed by the other party. Neither party shall discontinue any abatement proceedings begun by it without first giving the other party written notice of its intent so
to do and reasonable opportunity to be substituted in such proceedings. Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, require Tenant to pay any franchise, corporate, income, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax of
Landlord, or any income, profits or revenue tax or charge upon the rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, unless said tax is in lieu of real estate taxes. 
  

 - 7 - 

 (b) Betterment Assessments. Tenant shall pay, directly to the authority charged with
the collection thereof, each installment of any public, special or betterment assessment levied or assessed by or becoming payable to any municipality or other governmental authority having jurisdiction of the Premises, for or in respect of the
Premises for each installment period partially or wholly included in the Rent Period and, if exercised the Extension Terms, all such payments to be made not less than five (5) days prior to the last date on which the same may be made without
interest or penalty or fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of the assessments bill, whichever is later. Landlord shall promptly furnish Tenant with copies of all bills for assessments levied or assessed after the Rent Commencement Date,
and shall request such municipality or governmental authority to send all bills for assessments directly to Tenant. With respect to any fraction of an installment period included in the Rent Period and the Extension Terms, if exercised, at the
beginning or end thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor, the fraction of such installment allocable to such included period. Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord
reasonable evidence of such payment. Without postponing the foregoing payment, Tenant may prosecute appropriate proceedings to contest the validity or amount of any assessment with respect to which Tenant is required to make payments as hereinbefore
provided, such proceedings to be conducted jointly with any other parties, including Landlord, who have contributed to the payment of such assessments, and Tenant agrees to save Landlord harmless from all costs and expenses incurred on account of
Tenant’s participation in such proceedings. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant with respect to such proceedings so far as reasonably necessary, at Tenant’s cost and expense. Landlord shall promptly furnish to Tenant a copy of any notice
of any public, special or betterment assessment received by Landlord concerning the Premises. Tenant shall be entitled to all abatements, if any, of any assessment paid by Tenant during the Rent Period and, if exercised the Extension Terms.

  

 - 8 - 

 (c) Tax Fund Payments. If Tenant defaults in its obligations to pay taxes or
assessments under Subsections 3.2(a) or 3.2(b) and Landlord thereafter requires Tenant to make tax fund payments to Landlord, or if any holder of any mortgage on the Premises requires Landlord to make tax fund payments to it, then Landlord shall so
advise Tenant and thereafter Tenant shall, as Additional Rent, on the first day of each month of the applicable Term which is included in the Rent Period and, if exercised, the Extension Terms, make tax fund payments to Landlord. “Tax fund
payments” refer to such payments as Landlord or such mortgagee shall reasonably determine to be sufficient to provide in the aggregate a fund adequate to pay all taxes and assessments referred to in subsection 3.2(a) and 3.2(b) of this Section
3.2 when they become due and payable, and all such payments shall to the extent thereof relieve Tenant of its obligations under said subsections. If the aggregate of said tax fund payments is not adequate to pay all said taxes and assessments,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount by which such aggregate is less than the amount equal to all said taxes and assessments, such payment to be made on or before the later of (a) fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant of written notice from
Landlord of such amount, or (b) 5 days prior to the last day on which such taxes and assessments may be paid without interest or penalty. If Tenant shall have made the aforesaid payments, Landlord shall on or before the last day on which the same
may be paid without interest or penalty, pay or cause its mortgagee to pay to the proper authority charged with the collection thereof all taxes and assessments referred to in said subsections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b). All payments made by Tenant pursuant
to this subsection 3.2(c) shall to the extent thereof relieve Tenant of its obligations under said subsections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b).

 (d) Insurance. 

(i) Payment For Insurance. Tenant shall pay for all insurance required under this subsection 3.2(d) except that with respect to
the cost attributable to liability insurance carried by Landlord under subsection 3.2(d)(ii), Landlord shall pay such cost directly. Premiums for policy periods for insurance carried by Landlord commencing prior to the Rent Commencement Date or
extending beyond the term of this Lease shall be prorated. Payment shall be made by Tenant to Landlord within 10 business days following receipt of a written invoice from Landlord. 

(ii) Liability Insurance. 

(a) Carried by Tenant. Tenant shall obtain and keep in force a Commercial General Liability policy of insurance protecting Tenant

persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an “insured contract” for the performance of Tenant’s indemnity obligation under this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not,
however, limit the liability of Tenant nor relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder. All insurance carried by Tenant shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Landlord, whose insurance shall be considered
excess insurance only. 
  

 - 10 - 

 (b) Carried by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to

commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof. Tenant’s trade fixtures and Tenant’s personal property shall be insured by Tenant under subsection 3.2(d)(iv) rather than by Landlord. If the coverage is available and
commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake, unless Tenant requests that such perils be included), including coverage for debris

(iv) Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall obtain and maintain insurance coverage on all of Tenant’s personal property and
trade fixtures located on the Premises. Such insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a deductible of not to exceed $100,000 per occurrence. The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Tenant for the replacement of its

policies of such insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of the required insurance required to be maintained by such party. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to modification except after 30 days prior written
notice to Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall, immediately following expiration of such policies, furnish the other party with evidence of renewals or “insurance binders” evidencing renewal thereof. Such policies shall be for a term of
at least one year, or the length of the remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less. If either party shall fail to 

 

 - 12 - 

 
procure and maintain the insurance required to be carried by it, the other party may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same. Tenant shall be permitted to satisfy its
insurance requirements hereunder through blanket insurance policies. 
 (vi) Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting
any other rights or remedies, Tenant and Landlord each hereby release and relieve the other, and waiver their entire right to cover damages against the other, for loss of or damage to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required to
be insured against herein under the policies of property insurance required by subsections 3.2(d)(iii) and 3.2(d)(iv). The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles
applicable hereto. The parties agree to have their respective property damage insurance carriers waive any right to subrogation that such companies may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, so long as the insurance is not invalidated
thereby. 
 (e) Utilities. Tenant shall pay directly to the proper authorities charged with the collection thereof all
charges for water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone and other utilities or services used or consumed on the Premises. Tenant shall have the right to select its utility vendors for the Premises without the approval of Landlord.

workmanlike manner, employing materials of good quality and complying with all governmental requirements; and shall save Landlord harmless and indemnified from all injury, loss, claims or damage to any person or property occasioned by or growing out
of such work. 
 (f) Indemnity. Tenant shall assume exclusive control of the Premises, and all tort liabilities incident
to the control or leasing thereof, and shall defend, indemnify and save Landlord harmless from all injury, loss, claim or damage to or of any person or property while on the Premises except to the extent arising from the negligent acts or omissions
of Landlord or its agents, contractors, employees or invitees. 
 (g) Landlord’s Right to Enter. Landlord and its
agents (and invitees) shall be entitled to enter into and examine the Premises upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times during business hours and subject to Tenant’s reasonable security measures; provided, however, that no
notice shall be required in the event of an emergency. Tenant shall have the right to have a representative of Tenant present at each such entry and examination of the Premises by the Landlord during the term. 

(h) Personal Property at Tenant’s Risk. Except as otherwise provided herein, all of the furnishings, fixtures, equipment,
effects and property of every kind, nature and description of Tenant and of all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant which, during the 
  

 - 20 - 

 
continuance of this Lease or any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant, may be on the Premises, shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and if the whole or
any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, water or otherwise, or by the leakage or bursting of water pipes, by theft or from any other cause, no part of said loss or damage is to be charged to or to be borne by Landlord. 

(i) Yield Up. At the expiration of the Initial Term or Extension Terms, if exercised, or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall surrender all keys to the Premises, remove all of its trade fixtures and personal property in the Premises, repair all damage caused by such removal and yield up the Premises, broom-clean and in the same order and repair in which Tenant is
obliged to keep and maintain the Premises by the provisions of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear, fire, casualty and eminent domain taking excepted. Any property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed and disposed of by
Landlord in such manner as Landlord shall determine and Tenant shall pay Landlord the reasonable cost and expense incurred by it in effecting such removal and disposition and in making any incidental repairs and replacements to the Premises.

 If Tenant holds over after expiration of the Initial Term or if exercised any Extension Term, without the Landlord’s
consent, Tenant shall pay during such holdover period a sum equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the higher of (a) Annual Rent (as in effect immediately prior to the holdover) or (b) the then Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises,
prorated on a daily basis for each day Tenant continues to occupy some or all of the Premises after the expiration of the term hereof. In addition, Tenant shall further indemnify Landlord against all loss, cost and damage, direct and indirect,
resulting from Tenant’s failure and delay in surrendering the Premises as above provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have 
  

 - 21 - 

 
the right to hold over for a period of up to six (6) months by giving Landlord written notice not less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term specifying the holdover period,
in which event Tenant shall pay as Annual Rent during the specified holdover period a sum equal to 125% of the Annual Rent in effect immediately prior to such holdover period. 

4.2 Negative Covenants. Tenant covenants as follows, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, at all times during the Initial Term
or Extension Terms, if exercised, and such further time as Tenant occupies the Premises or any part thereof: 
 (a)
Assignment. Subletting, etc. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage or pledge this Lease or sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions and licenses and the like) all or any part of the Premises or suffer
or permit this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created under this Lease or any other rights arising under this Lease to be assigned, transferred or encumbered, in whole or in part, or permit the occupancy of me Premises by anyone other than
Tenant, without obtaining, in each instance, the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. When requesting consent to an assignment, sublease or other transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with
financial statements for the proposed transferee, a fully executed copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer documentation and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
required information and documentation, Landlord shall either: (i) consent to the transfer by execution of a consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord; (ii) reasonably refuse to consent to the transfer in writing; or (iii) if the
proposed transfer is an assignment of Tenant’s interest in the Lease or a sublease of all or substantially all of the Premises for the balance of the Term, terminate this Lease as of a date selected by Landlord (which shall be no sooner than 30
nor later than 180 days after the date of 
  

 - 22 - 

 Landlord’s election to terminate). With respect to subleases, it shall be deemed reasonable for
Landlord to condition its consent on a secured commitment by Tenant to remove all demising and other sublease-related work prior to expiration of the term. Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of $500 for Landlord’s review of any requested
transfer and shall also reimburse Landlord’s reasonable legal and engineering costs incurred in reviewing such requested transfer. 

Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of all rent and other consideration which Tenant receives as a result of a transfer other than a Permitted
Transfer that is in excess of the Annual Rent and Additional Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the Premises and Term covered by such transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord’s share of the excess within (30) days after
Tenant’s receipt of the excess. Tenant may deduct from the excess all expenses incurred by Tenant attributable to such sublease, including attorneys fees, brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, cash allowances and free rent pertaining to
the sublease. If Tenant is in default beyond any applicable notice or grace period, Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall receive a credit against rent in the amount of Tenant’s
share of payments received by Landlord. 
 No assignment or subletting and no consent of Landlord thereto shall affect the
continuing primary liability of Tenant (which, following assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee); no consent to any of the foregoing in a specific instance shall operate as a waiver in any subsequent instance; and no assignment
shall be binding upon Landlord or any of Landlord’s mortgagees, unless Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an instrument which contains a covenant of assumption by the assignee running to Landlord and all persons claiming by, through or under
Landlord, but the failure or refusal of the assignee to execute such instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge assignee from its liability as Tenant hereunder nor shall execution of such instrument of assumption affect the continuing
primary liability of Tenant. 
  

 - 23 - 

 Notwithstanding the prohibition on transfer to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease
or sublet all or any portion of any of the Premises to (i) any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, association or other business organization directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or in common control with
Tenant, or (ii) to any successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or conversion, or (iii) any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, association or other business organization that acquires a controlling interest in
Tenant or any subsidiary of Tenant whose business is being conducted at the Premises (“Operating Subsidiary”) or acquires substantially all of the assets of Tenant or the Operating Subsidiary as a going concern of the business that is
being conducted at the Premises (each of the foregoing being referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”), and in all of the foregoing circumstances both the original Tenant and the successor Tenant shall remain jointly and primarily liable for
the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall provide notice of a Permitted Transfer at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the transaction, which notice shall contain a description of the transaction. In addition,
Tenant shall be permitted to allow the employees of Tenant’s affiliates to occupy from time to time portions of the Premises on a shared basis with Tenant. 

(b) Overloading, Nuisance, etc. Tenant shall not injure, overload, deface or otherwise harm the Building; nor commit any nuisance;
nor make, allow or suffer any waste; nor make any use of the Premises which is improper, offensive or in violation of any law or ordinance or which will invalidate any insurance. 

 

 - 24 - 

 (c) Buildings, Installation, Alterations or Additions; Purchase Option. 

(i) Tenant shall not construct any new buildings on the Land, or make any installations, alterations or additions in, to or on the
Building which affect the structure thereof or building systems therein or cost in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate in any twelve (12) month period without on each occasion obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant shall be permitted to install its own security system pursuant to plans reasonably approved by Landlord. All new buildings and installations, alterations or additions to existing buildings (each an
“Improvement”) shall, at the expiration or termination of this Lease, become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered by Tenant with the Premises unless Landlord advises Tenant at the time it grants consent to the Improvement in
question that Landlord requires that such Improvement be removed at the end of the term. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Tenant Improvements to be installed pursuant to the Work Letter. Without limitation of the
foregoing, Tenant shall not commence demolition or effect any physical changes to the Premises prior to the earlier to occur of receipt by Landlord of the land use and other approvals described in Section 8.12 or the Termination Deadline (defined in
Section 8.12) or Tenant’s waiver or failure to exercise timely the termination right set forth in Section 8.12. 
 (ii)
With respect to Improvements costing in excess of $500,000, Tenant may request that Landlord fund all or a portion of the cost of the Improvement on terms proposed by Tenant prior to the making of the Improvement, and Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to fund all or a portion of the cost of the Improvement on the proposed terms. If Landlord and Tenant reach agreement on the terms of a Landlord-funded Improvement, they shall memorialize such agreement in an amendment to
this Lease entered into within ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant’s proposal to Landlord. If no such amendment has been entered into by the 

 

 - 25 - 

 expiration of such ninety-day period, then Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by notice to Landlord
delivered within thirty (30) days after expiration of such ninety-day period, to purchase the Premises for the higher of (A) $19 million, as increased to reflect the increase in CPI from the date of this Lease until the date of such
exercise notice from Tenant (but not less than two percent (2%) for any annual increase nor more than four percent (4%) for any annual increase) or (B) the then “Fair Market Value” thereof on the date of such exercise notice
from Tenant as determined by the process described below. Tenant’s exercise notice shall be accompanied by an executed purchase agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, with only the purchase price and deposit (which shall be
five percent (5%) of the purchase price) left blank. In the event Landlord and Tenant are not able to reach agreement on the “Fair Market Value” of the Premises within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s exercise (the
“Discussion Period”), “Fair Market Value” shall be determined by appraisal in the following manner: 
 (1)
Within five (5) days after expiration of the Discussion Period, each of Landlord and Tenant shall deliver to the other (a) its determination of the Fair Market Value of the Premises in its then “as-is” condition, taking into
consideration the value of comparable buildings within a five-mile radius of the Premises, and assuming a bona fide sale with each party acting in its best interest and without duress, and (b) the name of its appointed appraiser. 

(2) If only one of Landlord and Tenant submits both its determination of Fair Market Value and the name of its appointed appraiser within
five (5) days after expiration of the Discussion Period, then the submitting party’s determination of Fair Market Value shall be final and conclusive and shall be inserted into the purchase agreement as the purchase price. 

(3) If both parties submit their respective determination of Fair Market Value and the names of their respective appraisers within five
(5) days after expiration of the Discussion 
  

 - 26 - 

 
Period, then the two appraisers so chosen shall within thirty (30) days of being appointed appoint a third appraiser, which appraiser shall not have acted in any capacity for either Landlord or
Tenant. Each of Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraisers shall determine their respective valuations of the Fair Market Value of the Premises (each, a “Sale Appraisal”, collectively, the “Sale Appraisals”) within twenty (20)
days after the election of the third appraiser, and shall submit their Sale Appraisals to the third appraiser. The third appraiser shall select the Sale Appraisal which is closest to the third appraiser’s own determination of Fair Market Value,
and that selection shall be inserted into the purchase agreement as the purchase price for the Premises. Within five (5) business days after determination of purchase price, Buyer shall deliver a deposit equal to five percent (5%) of the purchase
price into escrow pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement. Each appraiser shall have a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience appraising commercial office buildings in the Boston metropolitan area and shall be a member of the American
Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, the Society of Real Estate Appraisers, or the Society of Real Estate Counselors or comparably accredited. Landlord and Tenant shall pay the cost of the appraiser chosen by each of them. The cost of the third
appraiser shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Section 4.2(c). 

(iii) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to be contrary, the purchase option granted herein may not be exercised during the first
three (3) years of the Term or during the first three (3) years after any transfer of the Premises by Seller. 
 (iv) If Tenant
exercises its purchase option hereunder but the purchase agreement is subsequently terminated for any reason other than a seller default, then both the purchase option granted herein and the right of first offer granted in Section 8.13 shall be
suspended for a period of one (1) year following termination of the purchase agreement, and during such one-year period Tenant shall have no right to exercise any of the options or rights granted to it under this Section 4.2(c) or under Section
8.13.

 ARTICLE V 

Casualty or Taking 

5.1 Termination. In the event that the entire Premises, or a substantial portion thereof, shall be taken by any public authority
or for any public use or shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty or by the action of any public authority and such damage cannot reasonably be repaired in all material respects within 225 days of such damage or destruction, or if any
material portion of the Building or access to the Premises or more that 10% of the parking spaces on the Premises shall be taken by any public authority or for any public use, or by the action of any public authority (each such damage, destruction
or taking being hereinafter referred to as a “Casualty”), then in any of such events this Lease may be terminated at the election of either Landlord or Tenant by giving written notice to the other within sixty (60) days after the
occurrence of such Casualty. 
 5.2 Restoration. If said election to terminate is not exercised by either party within
said sixty (60) day period or if there is no right to terminate, Landlord shall fully restore the Premises (exclusive of Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures) to a proper condition for use, with reasonable promptness and diligence, but
only to the extent insurance proceeds are available therefor (or would have been available therefor if Landlord had carried the insurance required under Section 3.2(d)(iii)) and subject to zoning and building laws then in existence; and from and
after the occurrence of such Casualty and continuing during such restoration period, an equitable abatement of rent shall be made for the portion of the Premises not fit for use and occupation. If Landlord fails to complete restoration of the
Premises (exclusive of Tenant’s personal property 
  

 - 28 - 

 
and trade fixtures) within a period equal to 150% of the time estimated for restoration by Landlord at the time of commencement of the restoration work, and as a result the Premises are not fit
for use and occupancy for Tenant’s Permitted Uses, Tenant may terminate the Lease by written notice given to Landlord while such failure to complete restoration persists, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date that is thirty
(30) days after the date of delivery of such termination notice; provided, however, that if Landlord completes restoration within thirty (30) days after delivery of such termination notice, the termination notice shall be deemed void and of no force
or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Casualty shall occur during the last year of the Initial Term or the first Extension Term, Landlord shall not be obligated to restore the Premises unless the Tenant agrees in writing to exercise its
options to extend the term of the Lease for the first Extension Term or the Second Extension Term, as applicable. If Landlord failed to carry the insurance or coverage required under Section 3.2(d)(iii), Landlord shall contribute funds toward
restoration so that the proceeds available equal those that would have been available had the required insurance or coverage been carried. 

5.3 Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Awards. If this Lease terminates as a result of a Casualty, Landlord shall be entitled to
all of the insurance proceeds payable pursuant to the policy of property insurance required to be maintained under Section 3.2(d)(iii). Condemnation awards shall be the property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as compensation for
diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to proceeds attributable to the unamortized value of any Improvements and Tenant Improvements (calculated
on a straight-line basis from the date of installation to the end of the Term), and to any compensation paid by the condemnor for Tenant’s relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or trade fixtures. If this Lease is not terminated by
reason of a condemnation, Tenant shall make such compensation available to Landlord for application by Landlord to the restoration of the Premises. 
  

 - 29 - 

 ARTICLE VI 

Defaults 

6.1 Events of Default. 

(a) If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of its obligations to pay the Annual Rent or Additional Rent hereunder and such
default shall continue for five (5) days after receipt of notice from Landlord that such payment is due (except that no notice shall be required for the second or any subsequent rent default within any twelve-month period) or if Tenant shall default
in the performance of any of its other obligations hereunder and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying any other default or defaults, or (b) if any assignment shall be made by Tenant
or any guarantor of Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or (c) if Tenant’s leasehold interest shall be taken on execution, or (d) if a petition is filed by Tenant for adjudication as bankrupt, or for reorganization or an arrangement under any
provision of the Bankruptcy Act as then in force and effect, or (e) if an involuntary petition under any of the provisions of said Bankruptcy Act is filed against Tenant and such involuntary petition is not dismissed within ninety (90) days
thereafter, then, and in any of such cases, Landlord and the agents and servants of Landlord lawfully may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any preceding breach of covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter with process
of law enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole or mail a notice of termination addressed to Tenant at the Premises, and repossess the same as of Landlord’s former estate and expel Tenant and those claiming
through or under Tenant and remove its and their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and 
  

 - 30 - 

 
without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or prior breach of covenant, and upon such entry or mailing as aforesaid this Lease shall terminate, Tenant
hereby waiving all rights of redemption, if any, to the extent such rights may be lawfully waived and Landlord, without notice to Tenant, may store Tenant’s effects, and those of any person claiming through or under Tenant at the expense and
risk of Tenant. 
 In the event Tenant fails to make any rental or other payment when due hereunder, Tenant shall pay interest
on such overdue amount to Landlord at the rate per annum equal to the then prime rate of Bank of America (or its successor) plus six percent (6%) from the date due; and if Tenant fails to make such payment within five (5) days after notice that the
same is due, Tenant shall in addition pay to Landlord immediately a late charge equal to 5% of the overdue amount. 
 6.2
Remedies. 
 (a) In the event of any termination, Tenant shall pay the Annual Rent, Additional Rent and other sums payable
hereunder up to the time of such termination, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Lease term in the absence of such termination, and whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord for, and
shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated current damages, the Annual Rent, Additional Rent and other sums that would be payable hereunder if such termination had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting or sale of the Premises,
after deducting all expenses in connection with such reletting or sale, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and
expenses of preparation (including tenant allowances and other inducements) for such reletting or sale. Tenant shall pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days which the Annual Rent would have been payable hereunder if this Lease had
not been terminated. Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate its damages from Tenant’s default hereunder but shall actively market the Premises for lease or sale following termination of this Lease. 

 

 - 31 - 

 (b) At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any
such current damages, as liquidated final damages and in lieu of all such current damages beyond the date of such demand, at Landlord’s election Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Annual Rent, Additional
Rent and other sums as hereinbefore provided which would be payable hereunder from the date of such demand (assuming that, for the purposes of this paragraph, the annual Additional Rent would be the same as the Additional Rent for the immediately
preceding year for what would be the then unexpired Lease term if the same remained in effect), over the then fair net rental value of the Premises for the same period, such difference being discounted to a present value utilizing a
commercially-reasonable discount rate. 
 (c) Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or
under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.
Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any
statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above. 

6.3 Remedies Cumulative. Any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease, and at law and equity, shall be
cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as permitted by law. 

 

 - 32 - 

 6.4 Effect of Waivers of Default. Any consent or permission by Landlord to any act or
omission by Tenant which otherwise would be a breach of any covenant or condition herein, or any waiver by Landlord of the breach of any covenant or condition herein, shall not in any way be held or construed (unless expressly so declared) to
operate so as to impair the continuing obligation of any covenant or condition herein, or otherwise, except as to the specific instance, operate to permit similar acts of omission. 

6.5 No Waiver, etc. The failure of Landlord to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any
covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by
Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to have been waiver of such breach. No consent or waiver by Landlord, express or implied, to or of any breach of any agreement or duty of Tenant shall be
construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty. 
 6.6 No Accord and
Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Annual Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent or charge due, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other charge be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover
the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided. 
  

 - 33 - 

 6.7 Landlord’s Self Help Remedy. In the event Tenant fails to perform its
obligations hereunder and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant (or such shorter period as may be practicable, in the event of emergency), and such failure shall continue for an
additional period of fifteen (15) days after a second notice from Landlord to Tenant stating in capital letters Landlord’s intent to exercise self-help remedies under this Section 6.7 (though such second notice and fifteen-day cure
period shall not be required in the event of emergency), then Landlord may perform such obligations itself and charge Tenant for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, which Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent within
thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice thereof from Landlord, along with reasonable substantiating documentation. 

6.8 Default by Landlord. If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant required to be performed by Landlord under the terms of
this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice thereof from Tenant, or if Landlord shall fail to pay any sums unequivocally due to Tenant hereunder, and such failure shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice thereof from Tenant, and such failure shall continue for an additional period of fifteen (15) days after a second notice from Tenant to Landlord stating
in capital letters Tenant’s intent to exercise self-help remedies under this Section 6.8, then Tenant may, in addition to any of Tenant’s other rights set forth elsewhere in this Lease, (A) cure the default of Landlord hereunder,
and perform the covenants which Landlord has failed to perform, and all reasonable sums expended by Tenant in curing such default and performing such covenants shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand therefor
accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation detailing the costs incurred. If not timely paid, such sums shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the then 

 

 - 34 - 

 
prime rate of Bank of America (or its successor) plus six percent (6%) from the date due, and may be offset by Tenant against future rentals, provided the offset shall be limited to no more
than twenty-five percent (25%) of the monthly Annual Rent in any calendar month; and/or (B) bring suit to recover from Landlord all sums due Tenant from Landlord together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the then prime rate of
Bank of America (or its successor) plus six percent (6%). 
 ARTICLE VII 

Mortgagee’s Rights 

7.1 Superiority of Lease. Except as provided in Subsection 7.2 below, this Lease shall be superior to and shall not be
subordinated to any future mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the Premises. The holder of any such future mortgage shall not be liable either as mortgagee or as assignee, to perform, or be liable in damages for failure to perform, any of the
obligations of Landlord unless and until such holder shall enter and take possession of the Premises for the purpose of foreclosure. Provided Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of the name and address of its mortgagee(s), Tenant agrees to provide
such holder of a mortgage with copies of any default notice delivered to Landlord at the same time Tenant delivers any such notice to Landlord. 

7.2 Subordination. Landlord shall have the option to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage of the Premises provided that the

the provisions of this Lease regarding Casualty), and to accept Tenant as tenant of the Premises under the terms and conditions of this Lease in the event of acquisition of title by such holder or its successor or assigns through foreclosure
proceedings or otherwise, and Tenant will agree to recognize and attorn to the holder of such mortgage as Landlord in such event, which 

 

 - 35 - 

 
agreement shall be made to expressly bind and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Tenant and of the holder and upon anyone purchasing said Premises at any foreclosure sale.
Tenant agrees to execute and deliver any appropriate instruments necessary to carry out the agreements contained in this Section 7.2. 

ARTICLE VIII

 8.3 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord agrees that upon Tenant’s paying the rent and
performing and observing the agreements, conditions and other provisions on its part to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term without any manner of hindrance or
molestation from Landlord or anyone claiming under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease. 
 8.4 Lease not
to be Recorded. Landlord and Tenant agree that neither party shall record this Lease. Both parties shall, upon the request of either, execute and deliver a notice or short form of this Lease in such form, if any, as may be permitted by
applicable statute and shall execute and deliver such further notice as may be required in connection with Tenant’s exercise of any option to extend contained in this Lease. 

8.5 Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. No owner of the Premises shall be liable under this Lease except for breaches of
Landlord’s obligations occurring while owner of the Premises. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant hereby agrees that, in an event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord: (1) the
obligations of Landlord under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual members, partners, managers, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or any direct or indirect member, partner, or shareholder of Landlord, and
Tenant shall not seek recourse against any such members, partners directors, managers, officers or shareholders or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to this Lease; (2) unless Tenant seeks injunctive relief,

and no writ of execution will be levied against the assets of any such member; and (5) these covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Landlord and also by any member of Landlord, and
shall bind Tenant and its successors and assigns. 
 8.6 Acts of God. In any case where Landlord or Tenant is required to
do any act, other than the payment of money, delays caused by or resulting from Acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, strikes, inability to obtain labor, materials or equipment, government regulations, unusually cold or
severe weather, the unavailability of asphalt (with respect to Landlord’s obligations under Section 8.12), or other causes beyond Landlord’s or Tenant’s reasonable control shall not be counted in determining the time during which work
shall be completed, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or “a reasonable time”, and such time shall be deemed to be extended by the period of such delay. Inability to pay amounts due hereunder shall not be deemed
to be beyond Landlord’s or Tenant’s control.

other harmless from and against any loss, and all loss, cost, damage, claim or expense arising out of the breach of the foregoing representation and warranty. Landlord should be responsible for any commissions due to the Brokers pursuant to a
separate agreement. 
 8.8 Applicable Law and Construction. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and if any provisions of this Lease shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. There are no oral or written agreements between Landlord and Tenant
affecting this Lease. This 
  

 - 38 - 

 
Lease may be amended, and the provisions hereof may be modified, only by instruments in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant. The titles of the several Articles and Sections contained herein
are for convenience only and shall not be considered in construing this Lease. Unless repugnant to this context, the words “Landlord” and “Tenant” appearing in this Lease shall be construed to mean those named above and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and those claiming through or under them, respectively. 

8.9 Estoppel Certificate. Both parties agree from time to time, upon not less than (15) days’ prior written request by the
other party, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that Tenant has no defense, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay
the Annual Rent and Additional Rent and to perform its other covenants under this Lease and that there are no uncured defaults of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease (or, if there have been any modifications that the same is in full force and effect
as modified and stating the modifications and, if there are any defenses, offsets, counterclaims or defaults, setting them forth in reasonable detail), and the dates to which the Annual Rent, Additional Rent and other charges have been paid. Any
such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 8.9 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Premises, or any prospective assignee or sublessee of the Premises. 

8.10 Signage. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and in accordance with all applicable laws, shall have the right to
install signs displaying Tenant’s name and advertising its business on the Land and the exterior of the Building. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to obtain regulatory approvals for Tenant’s
signage. Tenant shall maintain and operate its signs at its own expense during the Term, and all of Landlord’s self-help rights under Section 6.7 shall apply as well to Tenant’s obligations under this Section. Tenant

  

 - 39 - 

 
shall remove its signage at the expiration of the Term, repairing all damage caused by such removal and leaving the Building and its facade in the condition the same were in prior to erection of
the signs, reasonable wear and tear, fire, casualty and eminent domain taking excepted. 
 8.11 Warranty of Title by
Landlord. Landlord hereby warrants, represents and covenants to Tenant that: (A) Landlord is the sole owner in fee simple absolute of the Premises; (B) Landlord has good and marketable fee simple title to the Premises free and clear of all liens
and encumbrances except taxes not yet due and payable and other exceptions to title listed on Exhibit C attached hereto; and (C) Landlord will indemnify Tenant against any damage and expense which Tenant may suffer by reason of the failure to
have had recorded a Certificate of Compliance with respect to the Order of Conditions recorded as Document 1046737 or to have caused to be discharged the Notice of Lease recorded as Document 1023736. Landlord has full right and power to execute this
Lease and to lease the Premises for the term provided in this Lease. 
 8.12 Parking. Landlord shall use all diligent
efforts to obtain prior to November 30, 2007 all land use and other approvals required in order to enable Landlord to construct on the Premises an expansion of the parking area at the Premises, as shown on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit
D, and, provided Landlord successfully obtains such land use and other approvals, Landlord shall use all diligent efforts to cause the existing parking area at the Premises to be expanded, reconfigured, repaved and restriped in accordance with
the plan attached hereto as Exhibit D (such work being referred to hereinafter as “Landlord’s Work”) on or before June 30, 2008. If Landlord successfully obtains all land use and other approvals required for Landlord’s
Work but fails to substantially complete Landlord’s Work by June 30, 2008 (such date to be extended day-for-day in the event Acts of God described in Section 8.6 delay completion of Landlord’s Work), then Tenant shall receive an abatement
of Base Rent equal to one (1) day of Base Rent for each day after June 30, 2008 (as such date may be extended, as aforesaid) that such failure to achieve substantial completion of Landlord’s Work persists. 

 

 - 40 - 

 Landlord shall pay promptly when due the entire cost of Landlord’s Work and shall
remove promptly after notice thereof all liens for labor and materials; shall procure all necessary permits before undertaking such work; shall perform Landlord’s Work in a good and workmanlike manner, employing materials of good quality and
complying with all governmental and legal requirements, including, without limitation, the Town of Bedford Zoning Bylaws and the Americans with Disabilities Act; and shall save Tenant harmless and indemnified from all injury, loss claims or damage
to any person or property occasioned by or growing out of Landlord’s Work and occurring during the performance of Landlord’s Work. In the event the land use and other approvals required for Landlord’s Work have not been obtained by
November 30, 2007 then Tenant may elect by notice to Landlord delivered on or before December 15, 2007 (the “Termination Deadline”) to terminate this Lease. Tenant may at any time waive its right to terminate the Lease under this
Section 8.12 by so notifying Landlord in writing. If Tenant fails so to terminate by the Termination Deadline, time being of the essence, or if Tenant waives in writing its right to terminate, then this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect and Landlord’s sole obligation with respect to parking shall be to continue to use all diligent efforts to obtain the land use and other approvals required for Landlord’s Work and, if obtained, to use all diligent efforts to perform
Landlord’s Work as provided above. Tenant shall neither commence demolition nor begin construction of the Tenant Improvements until the earliest to occur of Landlord’s receipt of the land use and other approvals required for
Landlord’s Work or the Termination Deadline or Tenant’s waiver or failure to exercise timely its termination right set forth in this Section 8.12. At the request of Landlord following such waiver, Tenant shall enter into an amendment
to this Lease memorializing the fact that the termination right set forth in this Section 8.12 is of no further force or effect. 
  

 - 41 - 

 8.13 Right of First Sale Offer. If Landlord desires to sell the Premises, Landlord
shall give written notice to Tenant setting forth the terms and conditions on which Landlord is willing to sell the Premises. Tenant may, by giving Landlord notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice (which notice
shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier’s check, payable to the order of Landlord, in an amount equal to 5% of the purchase price) elect to purchase the Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s notice. If Tenant
shall fail to make such election within such 30-day period (time being of the essence), Tenant shall have no further rights to purchase the Premises, and Landlord shall thereafter be free to sell the Premises to such party or parties, and on such
terms and conditions, as Landlord may deem appropriate, provided that if Landlord has not sold such property for a purchase price equal to at least 95% of that offered to Tenant within one (1) year after the last day on which tenant could have
elected to purchase the same hereunder (the “Marketing Period”), and if Landlord still desires to sell the Premises, then Landlord shall again offer the Premises to Tenant as provided herein. If Tenant shall elect to so purchase the
Premises, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after such election, enter into a binding purchase and sale agreement with Landlord in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, incorporating the terms and conditions set forth in
Landlord’s notice. If, despite such good faith negotiation, the parties have not entered into such an agreement within such 30-day period, then Landlord shall cause the 5% deposit to be returned to Tenant and both the right of first offer
granted herein and the purchase option granted in Section 4.2(c) (ii) shall be suspended for a period of one (1) year following expiration of such thirty-day period, and during such one-year period Tenant shall have no right to
exercise any of the rights or options granted to it under this Section 8.13 or under 
  

 - 42 - 

 
Section 4.2(c)(ii); and in the event the parties have entered into a purchase agreement but the purchase agreement is subsequently terminated for any reason other than a seller default, then both
the right of first offer granted herein and the purchase option granted in Section 4.2(c) (ii) shall be suspended for a period of one (1) year following termination of the purchase agreement, and during such one-year period Tenant shall have no
right to exercise any of the rights or options granted to it under this Section 8.13 or under Section 4.2(c)(ii). 
 8.14
Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 EXECUTION 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE 

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of the 11th day of February, 2010, by and
between 125 MIDDLESEX TURNPIKE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and GSI GROUP CORPORATION, a Michigan corporation (“Tenant”). 

Reference is hereby made to that certain Lease dated as of November 2, 2007 (the “Lease”) by and between Landlord
and Tenant, pursuant to which Tenant is currently leasing from Landlord a certain parcel of land with the building located thereon commonly known as 125 Middlesex Turnpike, Bedford, Massachusetts, as more particularly described in the Lease (the
“Premises”); and 
 WHEREAS Landlord and Tenant have agreed to amend certain terms of the Lease, all as more
particularly set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration this day paid, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties mutually agree as follows: 

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease. 

2. Effective Date. The effective date of this Amendment (the “Effective Date”) shall be the date upon which
Tenant’s Plan Approval (as defined below) has been obtained from the Court (as defined below). 
 3.
Lease Term. Section 1.1 of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that the Initial Term of the Lease shall expire on the last day of the month in which occurs the third
(3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date. 

4. Landlord’s Option to Terminate. Landlord shall have the option, exercisable in its sole and exclusive discretion subject
to the terms set forth herein, to terminate the Lease prior to the scheduled expiration of the Lease Term. Landlord’s option to terminate shall be exercised, if at all, by Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a written notice of termination
(the “Termination Notice”) setting forth the new date on which the Term of the Lease shall expire (the “Early Termination Date”), which date shall be (a) no less than nine (9) months after the date of the
Termination Notice, and (b) in any event, no earlier than June 1, 2011. In such event, the Term of the Lease shall expire on the Early Termination Date, all Rent and other charges due under the Lease shall be apportioned as of the Early
Termination Date, and all terms and conditions of this Lease and Tenant’s obligations hereunder, including without limitation Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent, shall continue up to and including the Early Termination Date. Landlord hereby
agrees to keep Tenant reasonably apprised of any marketing efforts undertaken by Landlord with respect to the Premises throughout the Term of the Lease, which shall include providing Tenant with copies of any third-party lease proposals, letters of
intent and marketing reports issued with respect to the Premises. 

 5. Tenant’s Option to Extend. Section 2.3 of the Lease is hereby
amended by: 
 (a) deleting the words and numbers “fifteen (15) months” from the two places in which they appear
in the third sentence of the first grammatical paragraph thereof, and by replacing them in both places with the words and numbers “twelve (12) months”; 

(b) deleting the words and numbers “twelve (12) months” from the fifth sentence of the first grammatical paragraph
thereof, and by replacing them with the words and numbers “ten (10) months”; and 
 (c) adding the following text
at the end thereof: “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if at the time of Tenant’s election to exercise either of its options to extend the Term of the Lease for an applicable Extension Term, Tenant does not satisfy
the Financial Requirement (as defined below), Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to provide Landlord with a security deposit in an amount equal to six (6) months’ of Annual Rent payable during such Extension Term, such deposit
to be delivered to Landlord prior to and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such Extension Term, in the form of an irrevocable standby letter of credit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. For the purposes hereof,
the term “Financial Requirement” shall mean that the total cash balance then being maintained by Tenant is equal to at least Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00). If Tenant is required to deliver a security deposit as a result of
its failure to satisfy the Financial Requirement at the time of its election to extend the Term of the Lease as aforesaid, then Tenant shall be entitled to a return of such security deposit in the event that Tenant subsequently satisfies the
Financial Requirement at any time during the remaining Term of the Lease. Conversely, if Tenant is not required to deliver a security deposit because it satisfied the Financial Requirement at the time of its election to extend the Term of the Lease,
Tenant shall nonetheless be required to deliver such security deposit in the event that Tenant subsequently fails to satisfy the Financial Requirement at any time during the Term of the Lease. In order to effectuate the foregoing provision, Tenant
shall provide Landlord with audited financial statements for Tenant both (i) at the time of Tenant’s election to exercise either of its options to extend the Term of the Lease for an applicable Extension Term, and (ii) within ninety
(90) days following the expiration of each fiscal year of Tenant ending subsequent to the date on which Tenant first makes such election to exercise an extension option.” 

6. Yield Up. Section 4.1(i) of the Lease is hereby amended by deleting the words and numbers “one hundred fifty
percent (150%)” from the first sentence of the second grammatical paragraph thereof, and by replacing them with the words and numbers “two hundred percent (200%)”. 

7. Landlord’s Access and Marketing Rights. Section 4.1(g) of the Lease is hereby amended by adding the following
text at the end thereof: “Landlord’s access rights hereunder shall include the right to access the Premises from lime to time during the Term of the Lease for marketing purposes, including (i) allowing prospective tenants, investors,
buyers and lenders (collectively, “Landlord’s Invitees”) to perform due diligence activities on the Premises, and (ii) posting signs on the Land and/or the Building advertising the availability of space in the Premises, in
each case (1) at Landlord’s sole cost and expense; (2) at reasonable frequency; and (3) subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth in this section. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord or Landlord’s
Invitees may not include invasive testing within the Premises, and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts during such periods of access to minimize 

 

 -46- 

 
interference with Tenant’s business operations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and
against all claims, costs, damages, demands, actions, liabilities, expenses and causes of action (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or resulting from personal injury or property damage incurred by Tenant
and caused by Landlord or Landlord’s Invitees during such periods of access. Landlord will provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice prior to each visit by Landlord’s Invitees.” 

8. Deleted Lease Provisions. The Lease is hereby amended by deleting in their entirety (a) the third (3
rd) sentence of Section 4.1(c)
(Tenant’s right to require Landlord to fund certain Capital Improvements); (b) Section 4.2(c)(ii) (Tenant’s right to request that Landlord fund certain Improvements and Tenant’s related right to purchase the
Premises); (c) Section 8.13 (Tenant’s Right of First Sale Offer); and (d) the last sentence of the second grammatical paragraph of Section 4.1(i) (Tenant’s right to reduced holdover penalties upon prior
notice to Landlord). 
 9. Approval of Tenant’s Bankruptcy Plan. The effectiveness of this Amendment is expressly
subject to and conditioned upon the entry of an order by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) confirming Tenant’s First Modified Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, dated
January 8, 2010, under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Case No. 09-14109) (the “Plan”), as such Plan may be hereafter modified, amended or superceded by Tenant, provided that no such modification, amendment or
superceding plan shall adversely affect the rights of Landlord, and the prior or contemporaneous entry of an order approving the assumption of the Lease as modified by this Amendment (“Tenant’s Plan Approval”). Promptly
following the execution of this Amendment by both parties, Tenant shall file with the Court a motion seeking approval of the assumption of the Lease as modified by this Amendment (an “Assumption Motion”), and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain Tenant’s Plan Approval as expeditiously as is reasonably possible thereafter. In the event that Tenant does not promptly file an Assumption Motion and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Court
approval thereof, then at Landlord’s election this Amendment shall be rendered void and without force or effect upon the delivery of written notice by Landlord to Tenant and the failure by Tenant to cure any such alleged act within seven
(7) days following the delivery of such notice. In the event that Tenant is unable to obtain Tenant’s Plan Approval despite having exercised commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then at either party’s election this Amendment
shall be rendered void and without force or effect upon the delivery of written notice by such party to the other party hereto. 

10. HVAC System. Landlord and Tenant each hereby acknowledges that Tenant has encountered certain issues controlling the
temperatures of various conference rooms, private offices and open spaces within the Premises. Exhibit A attached hereto sets forth a list of recommended repairs which, if performed, are reasonably anticipated to eliminate the aforementioned
HVAC system issues occurring within the Premises (the “Recommended Repairs”). Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for performing the Recommended Repairs at any time. Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall
not be responsible for performing the Recommended Repairs at any time. Except as otherwise expressly set forth above, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or affect Tenant’s maintenance and repair obligations under the Lease,
including without limitation pursuant to Section 4(c) thereof. 
  

 -47- 

 11. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and may only be amended in a writing signed by all the parties hereto. The invalidity of one or more of the provisions contained herein as amended hereby shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Lease, and
if one or more of such provisions shall be declared invalid by final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Lease shall be construed as if such invalid provision or provisions had not been included in the Lease.

 12. Consistency. In the event that any provision of this Amendment is inconsistent with the Lease, this Amendment
shall control. 
 13. Brokerage Representations. Landlord and Tenant each represents that it has not dealt with
any broker in connection with this Amendment. Each party hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred as a result of its breach of the
foregoing representation. 
 14. Ratification; Authority. Except as herein amended, the Lease shall remain in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms. The parties each hereby confirm that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that, to the knowledge of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, there are no existing defaults of the other
under the Lease. Each signatory of this Amendment represents hereby that he or she has the authority to execute and deliver the same on behalf of the party hereto for which such signatory is acting. 

15. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
