 1.
PREMISES: 
 (A) In consideration of the rents, agreements and conditions herein reserved and contained on the part of Tenant to be paid, performed
and observed, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, for the term herein set forth, certain premises located at 257 Simarano Drive, Marlboro, Massachusetts containing approximately 7,581 rentable square feet of
rentable floor area and having dimensions approximately as shown upon Exhibit B (herein referred to as “the Demised Premises”) [which includes the Tenant’s prorated allocation of building common areas.] The space is comprised of 6,981
rentable square feet, known as suite #101 currently occupied by Pointcare and 600 rentable square feet known as suite #104 formerly occupied by Jaimie Hood. The common area factor (add-on factor) is 11.24%. of floor area in the building. The Demised
Premises are situated in the “Main Building” which building consists of 54,598 square feet; Two (2) other smaller buildings known as the “Annex Buildings” are adjacent consist of 14,100 rentable square feet in total. All
three (3) collectively are the “Buildings”. 
 The ‘‘Main Building” and ‘‘Annex Buildings” are all situated
upon a certain parcel of land known as 257 Simarano Drive, Marlborough, Massachusetts. The total size of all three buildings on the “Entire Parcel” is 68,698 rentable square feet. Said parcel of land is shown as Lot I upon Exhibit A
attached hereto and made a part hereof and is herein referred to as ‘‘the Entire Parcel”. The Landlord reserves its right to reduce the size of the entire parcel including but not limited to removing by conveyance or otherwise the
undeveloped Lot 2 as shown on Exhibit A from said Entire Parcel. The Demised Premises are situated within, (hereinafter referred to as “the Main Building”), shown on Exhibit “A” and said Demised Premises are shown outlined by a
bold yellow line upon said Exhibit B. For purposes of this Lease, dimensions are measured from the outside of exterior walls and the center of interior walls. It is understood and agreed that Exhibit B is intended only to show the approximate size
and location of the Demised Premises, the Building and the Entire Parcel and for no other purpose. 
 (B) The Demised Premises are demised and with the
benefit of and subject to, the nonexclusive rights of Landlord, Tenant and other tenants of the Building and the Main Building and all persons having business with any of them, to use, in common, the parking areas, electrical rooms, lavatories,
hallways, loading dock, loading door, entrances, vestibules, traffic lanes and walkways upon the Entire Parcel for the purposes of parking and access, on foot and by vehicle not exceeding the weight for which the same were constructed and for no
other purpose, except for any exclusive areas Landlord shall reserve for the parking of trucks specifically designated by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to change the size and configuration of said parking areas, traffic
lanes and walkways and to temporarily (for a reasonable period of time) close all or any part thereof to prevent a dedication thereof or to prevent the accrual of any rights of any person or the public therein. Tenant shall have use of the parking
areas for its employees and visitors to park passenger vehicles on a non-exclusive, first come first served basis on the Entire Parcel. 
 2. TERM:
The term of this Lease shall be the period of five (5) years, commencing on April 1, 2014 (herein referred to as “the Commencement Date”), and expiring March 31, 2019 (hereinafter referred to as the “Expiration
Date”). 

 3. MINIMUM RENT: The Tenant shall pay Landlord rent at the rate of One Hundred Seven Thousand Seven
Hundred Nine Dollars and Fifty Cents ($107,709.50) per year, in equal monthly installments of Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy Five Dollars and Seventy Nine Cents ($8,975.79) which minimum rent or additional rent shall be paid monthly, in
advance, on the first day of each and every calendar month during the term of this lease. Rent for any fraction of a month at the commencement or expiration of the term of this lease shall be prorated. Minimum rent for suite #101 is calculated as
the Base Rent of $9.95 per square foot plus current Operating Expenses and real estate taxes estimated at $3.76 per rentable square foot, multiplied by the 6,981 rentable square foot area of rentable space, as referenced in section 1 (see Exhibit C
for a current breakdown). Minimum rent for suite #104 is $20.00 per rentable square feet (including estimated Operating Expenses and real estate taxes as set forth above) multiplied by 600 rentable square foot area of rentable space as referenced in
Section 1. Utilities are also included in this rent and paid by landlord. All payments of rent (minimum and additional) shall be made payable to Landlord and shall be sent to Landlord at the address hereinafter provided for the giving of notice
to Landlord or to such other person or address as Landlord shall from time to time designate by notice to Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord any excess annual Minimum Rent due for the portion of such additional period then so expired, in each case,
paid monthly, in advance, on or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month, in equal monthly installments of one-twelfth the annual rate thereof then in effect. 

4. REAL ESTATE TAXES: 
 (A) Tenant shall pay, as
additional rent, (7,581/68,698 or 11%) of the real estate taxes upon the Buildings land, yard and improvements upon the Building for each tax year during the term hereof in excess of One Hundred Thousand Four Hundred Twelve Dollars and Fifty Seven
Cents ($100,412.57) per year, and a pro rata portion thereof for each tax year, in which the term hereof commences and terminates. Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess to Landlord, on account, in equal monthly installments of one-twelfth
(l/l2th) the amount thereof estimated by Landlord to be payable by Tenant on the basis of the immediately preceding tax year, payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each and every calendar month during the term of this
Lease and a pro rata portion thereof for any fraction of a month at the commencement or termination of the term. In the event the Landlord estimated the amount of excess real estate taxes to be paid by the Tenant, the Landlord shall after the close
of the tax year submit to Tenant a computation of the amount actually payable by Tenant under this Section (A) for such year, and if the amount paid by Tenant for such year on account as aforesaid shall be less than the amount actually payable
therefore as computed by Landlord, then Tenant shall pay the amount of the deficiency, if any, to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of such computation and if the amount paid by Tenant for such year as aforesaid shall exceed the
amount actually payable therefore as computed by Landlord, then Tenant may recoup the amount of the excess by withholding such amount from the next succeeding monthly payments due from Tenant under this Section (A) until thereby repaid in full.

assessments and all taxes and assessments levied, assessed or imposed as a substitute therefore, or in lieu of, the whole or any part of the real estate taxes upon the Entire Parcel. Tenant shall pay timely and shall not be responsible for penalties
and/or interest to landlord’s sole delinquency. Landlord shall not pass on increases in real estate taxes as a result of excess improvements on the annex buildings which tenants may not benefit from.

conditions in this Lease contained on the part of Tenant to be performed and observed. In the event of any default or defaults in such payment, performance or observance, Landlord may, at its
option and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have as result thereof, apply said sum or any part thereof towards the curing of any such default or defaults and/or towards compensating Landlord for any loss or damage arising
from any such default or defaults. The Security Deposit is equal to two (2) months of Minimum Rent. Upon the yielding up of the Demised Premises at the expiration or other termination of the term of this lease, if Tenant shall not then be in
default or otherwise liable to Landlord, said sum or the unapplied balance thereof shall be returned to the Tenant within thirty (30) days of the end of the lease term. It is understood and agreed that Landlord shall always have the right to
apply said sum, or any part thereof, as aforesaid in the event of any such default or defaults, without prejudice to any other remedy or remedies which Landlord may have, or Landlord may pursue any other such remedy or remedies in lieu of applying
said sum or any part thereof. No interest shall be payable on said sum or any part thereof. If Landlord shall apply said sum or part thereof as aforesaid, Tenant shall, upon demand, pay to Landlord the amount so applied by Landlord to restore the
security to its original amount. Said sum shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered by Tenant without prior consent of Landlord. Whenever the holder of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, whether it be the Landlord named in this Lease or
any transferee of said Landlord, immediate or remote, shall transfer its interest in this Lease, said holder may pay to its transferee said sum or the unapplied balance thereof, and thereafter such holder shall be released from any and all liability
to Tenant with respect to said sum or its application or return, it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall thereafter look only to such transferee with respect to said sum, or its application or return provided Landlord presents satisfactory
evidence of said transfer. Landlord shall provide tenant reasonably detailed accounting history of security deposit within ninety (90) days of tenant’s request. 

(B) Said Security deposit is held by Landlord as security for the Tenant’s obligations stated herein including but not limited to as security for any
necessary repairs and restorations of the Demised Premises that the Tenant failed to complete upon vacating the Demised Premises. Said Security Deposit shall not be used as a credit for rent.

and all injury, loss or damage, and any and all claims for injury, loss or damage, of whatever nature (i) caused by or resulting from, or claimed to have been caused by or to have resulted from any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or any
person claiming under Tenant (including without limitation, sub-Tenants of Tenant and employees and contractors of Tenant and its sub-Tenants) no matter where occurring, and (ii) occurring in, upon or about the Demised Premises or in connection
with the use, occupancy or control thereof, no matter how caused excluding acts of God. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any and such injury,
loss or damage or any such claim, or any proceeding brought thereon or the defense thereof (iii) except if caused by the direct wrongful acts of the Landlord, hereafter, if Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant or the whole or any part of
the property of Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant shall be injured, lost or damaged by theft, fire, water, or steam or in any other way or manner, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, then, to the extent permitted by law, no part
of said injury, loss or damage shall be borne by Landlord, its employees or its agents. 
 (B) Tenant shall maintain and pay for general comprehensive
public liability insurance, with respect to the Demised Premises and its appurtenances, issued by an insurance company approved by Landlord, naming Landlord and Tenant and any designees of Landlord as additional named insureds, in amounts of not
less than One Million dollars ($1,000,000.00) with respect to injuries to any one person and not less than Two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) with respect to injuries suffered in any one accident and not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
with respect to property, or such greater amounts as shall be reasonably required the holder of any mortgage upon the Demised Premises or premises of which the Demised Premises are a part. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the policies of such
insurance, or certificates thereof, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease and each renewal policy or certificate thereof in form acceptable to Landlord, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
expiration of the policy it renews. All such insurance policies shall provide that such policies shall not be cancelled or changed without at least fifteen (15) days notice to Landlord. 

13. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY:  
 (A) If the
Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord and except as hereinafter otherwise provided, Landlord shall, within 

 
reasonable time thereafter, repair or restore the Demised Premises to substantially the same condition the Demised Premises were in prior to such casualty and capable of being and for the uses
permitted hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to spend for such repairs and restoration any amount in excess of such insurance proceeds, if any, as shall be paid to Landlord as the result of such damage or
destruction, and subject to the prior rights thereto, if any, of any mortgagees. If the damage to the Demised Premises should be so extensive as to render the whole or any part thereof untenable or unsuitable for use and occupancy by Tenant for the
uses permitted hereunder, a just proportion of the Minimum Rent, Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses, according to the nature and extent of the injury to the Demised Premises, shall be suspended or abated until occupancy of the Demised Premises
shall be repaired or restored as provided in the first sentence of this Section (A). It is agreed and understood that if during the term of this Lease either the Demised Premises or the Building shall be damaged or destroyed as aforesaid to the
extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of their insurable value, Landlord, at its election, may terminate the term of this Lease by a notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction. It is also agreed and
understood that if during the last six (6) months of the term of this Lease the Demised Premises shall be damaged or destroyed as aforesaid to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of their insurable value, Tenant at its
election, may terminate the term of this Lease by a notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such damage or destruction. In the event of any termination of the term of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Article, the
termination shall be effective upon the fifteenth (15th) day after the giving of the notice of termination. A just proportion of the Minimum Rent, Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses, according to the nature and extent of the injury to the
Demised Premises, shall be suspended or abated until the time of termination, and Minimum Rent shall be apportioned as of the time of termination. If Landlord is required or elects to repair or restore the Demised Premises as hereinabove provided,
then Tenant shall, subject to the conditions hereof, resume its business therein. If Landlord shall not substantially complete repair and restoration of the Demised Premises the extent required under this Section (A) on or before the fifteenth
(15th) day following the occurrence of such casualty (hereinafter referred to as the “Deadline”), then the term of this Lease shall terminate upon the Deadline unless prior to the Deadline Tenant shall give notice to the Landlord that
Tenant then elects to continue the term of this Lease thereafter, and if Tenant shall so elect then this sentence shall thereafter be void and of no further force or effect. 

(B) Landlord shall maintain such fire and casuals insurance with respect to the Demised Premises as shall from time to time be required by the holder of a
first mortgage upon the Entire Parcel. The cost to Landlord of any insurance which Landlord shall maintain with respect to the Demised Premises, the Building and/or the Entire Parcel, including, without limitation, fire, so-called extended coverage,
rent insurance, agreed amount, inflation guard, all risk and/or difference-in-conditions coverage, and general comprehensive public liability insurance, is herein referred to as “Landlord’s Insurance Cost”. 

The determination of Landlord’s insurance agent with respect to the amount of any excess insurance premiums pursuant to Section 9-B
shall be conclusive and finally determinative for purposes hereof. Nothing in this Section (B) shall be deemed to limit in any way the obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease with respect to the maintaining of any type of insurance
whatsoever. 
 (C) Tenant shall not do, or suffer to be done, or keep, or suffer to be kept, or omit to do, anything in, upon or about the Demised Premises,
the Building and/or the Entire Parcel which may prevent the obtaining of any insurance on, or with respect to the Demised Premises, the Building and/or the Ensure Parcel or on any property therein, including, without limitation, fire, extended
coverage, public liability insurance and any other insurance referred to in Section (A) hereof, or which may make void or voidable any such insurance or which may create any extra premiums for, or increase the rate of, any such insurance. If
anything shall be done or kept omitted to be done in, upon or about the Demised Premises which shall create any increased or extra premiums for or increase the rate of, any such insurance, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies which
Landlord may have as a result thereof, Tenant shall pay the increased 

 
cost of the same to Landlord upon demand. In determining whether extra or increased premiums are the result of Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises a Schedule issued by the organization
making the rates applicable to the Demised Premises, or a certificate of Landlord’s insurance agent, showing the components of such rates, shall be conclusive evidence of the items and charges which comprise the rate of any such insurance and
any increase therein and extra charge therefore. 
 14. EMINENT DOMAIN:  

(A) If after the execution of this Lease and prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease the whole of the Demised Premises shall be taken under the power
of eminent domain, or acquired for any public or quasi-public use by deed in lieu thereof, then the term of this Lease shall cease as of the time when Landlord shall be divested of its title in the Demised Premises, and Minimum Rent shall be
apportioned and adjusted as of time of termination. 
 (B) If only a part of the Entire Parcel shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, or acquired
for any public or quasi-public use by deed in lieu thereof and if as a result thereof the paved area of the Entire Parcel shall be reduced by more than twenty percent (20%) or the ground floor area of the Building shall be reduced by more than
ten percent (10%), and the part remaining shall not be reasonably adequate for the operation of business conducted in the Demised Premises to uses permitted hereby prior to the taking, either Landlord or Tenant may, at its election terminate the
term of this Lease by giving the other notice of the exercise of its election within twenty (20) days after it shall receive notice of such taking, and termination shall be effective as of the time that possession of the part so taken shall be
required for public or quasi-public use, and Minimum Rent shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the time of termination. If only a part of the Demised Premises shall be taken under the power of eminent domain or so acquired and if the term of this
Lease shall not be terminated as aforesaid, then provided the Tenant continues to have reasonably adequate parking, the term of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after possession is
required for public use, repair and restore what may remain of the Entire Parcel and the demised Premises subject to reduction in area as a result thereof and subject to then existing building and zoning codes, and a just proportion of the Minimum
Rent, according to the nature and extent of the injury to the Demised Premises, shall be suspended or abated until what may remain of the Demised Premises shall be put into such condition by Landlord, and thereafter a proportion of the Minimum Rent
shall be abated for the balance of the term of this Lease, said proportion to be computed on the basis of the relationship which the ground floor area of the Demised Premises rendered unusable bears to the ground floor area of the Demised Premises
immediately prior thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing Landlord shall not be obligated to make any such repairs and restoration under this Article which shall cost Landlord any amount in excess of such damages as shall be paid to Landlord as the
result of such taking or deed and not required to be paid by Landlord or the holders of any mortgages upon the Entire Parcel. 
 (C) Landlord reserves to
itself, and Tenant assigns to Landlord, all rights to damages accruing on account of any taking under the power of eminent domain or by reason of any such act of any public or quasi-public authority for which damages are payable. Tenant agrees to
execute such instruments of assignment as may be reasonably required by Landlord in any proceeding for the recovery of such damages if requested by Landlord, and to pay over to Landlord any damages that may be recovered in said proceeding. It is
agreed and understood, however, that Landlord does not reserve to itself, and Tenant does not assign to Landlord, any damages payable for movable trade fixtures installed by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant at the sole cost of Tenant or
any person claiming under Tenant. 
 15. DEFAULTS:  

(A) All rent (minimum and additional) and other charges and amounts due and payable under this Lease from Tenant to Landlord shall be payable and paid without
demand and without any deduction, defense, counterclaim or set-off whatsoever. If Landlord shall default under this Lease, Tenant’s sole remedies 

 
shall be injunctive relief and/or damages, and Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or withhold any rent, charge or amount hereunder as a result thereof. A default by the
Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed a default under all other Leases Tenant or its affiliates may now have or subsequently enter into with Landlord. 

(B) (1) If Tenant shall default in the payment of any rent or other payments required of Tenant and such default shall continue for five (5) days
after written notice thereof by Landlord together with reasonably detailed description of default, or (2) if Tenant shall default in the performance or observance of any other agreement or condition on its part to be performed or observed and
if Tenant shall fail to cure said non-monetary default within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of said default from Landlord, or (3) if any person shall levy upon, or take, this Leasehold interest or any part thereof upon
execution, attachment or other process of law, or (4) if Tenant shall make an assignment of its property for the benefit of creditors, or (5) if Tenant shall be declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or (6) if any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or arrangement proceedings shall be commenced by Tenant, or (7) if any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or arrangement proceedings shall be commenced against Tenant, or if a receiver, trustee or
assignee shall be appointed for the whole or any part of Tenant’s property, and shall not be dismissed within thirty (30) days thereafter, or (8) if Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Demised Premises, then, in any of said events,
Landlord lawfully and immediately or at any time thereafter, and without any further notice or demand, enter into and upon the Demised Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole, by force or otherwise, and hold the Demised Premises as if
this Lease had not been made, and expel Tenant and those claiming under it and remove its or their property (forcibly, if necessary) without being taken or deemed to be guilty of any manner of any trespass (or Landlord may send written notice to
Tenant of the termination of the term of this Lease), and upon entry as aforesaid (or in the event that Landlord shall send to Tenant notice of termination as above provided, on the fifth (5th) day next following the date of the sending of such
notice), the term of this Lease shall terminate. A default by Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed a default under all other Leases Tenant may have with Landlord. 

(C) In case of any such termination, the entire unpaid rent due for the remaining term of this Lease shall become immediately due and payable upon notice to
the Tenant and all other Tenant obligations which Landlord may incur by reason of any such termination between the time of termination and the expiration of the term of this Lease as originally provided in Article 2 shall become due. It is
understood and agreed that at the time of the termination or at any time thereafter, Landlord may rent the Demised Premises upon any terms and conditions as Landlord may in its sole discretion determine, and for a term which may expire after the
expiration of the term of this Lease, without releasing Tenant from any liability whatsoever, that Tenant shall be liable for any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining possession of the Demised Premises, with removing
from the Demised Premises property of Tenant and persons claiming under it (including, without limitation, warehouse charges), with putting the Demised Premises into good condition for re-letting, and with any re-letting, including, without
limitation, reasonable expenses for protecting, redecorating, repairing, restoring, subdividing and altering the Demised Premises, that any monies collected from any re-letting shall be applied first to the foregoing expenses and then to the payment
of rent and all other payments then due or which may thereafter become due from Tenant to Landlord and that Tenant shall be responsible to reimburse Landlord for reasonable attorney’s fees and broker’s fees incurred in exercising any of
Landlord’s rights under this Lease, including but not limited to actions to recover damages based on the Tenant’s failure to repair, restore or maintain the Demised Premises in good order, repair and condition is as described in this
Lease. In the event of any and all defaults of this lease, Tenant shall be thereby in default for any and all leases with landlord. 
 16.
ASSIGNMENT: Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber this Lease or any interest therein, or sublet the whole or any part of the Demised Premises, without obtaining on each occasion the written consent of Landlord. The
foregoing prohibition against assignment and subletting 

 
shall be construed to prohibit an assignment or subletting by operation of law but not if to a wholly owned subsidiary. The foregoing prohibition shall not prohibit the assignment of this Lease,
or subletting of the Demised Premises, to a business organization affiliated with Tenant, notwithstanding such assignment, Tenant shall remain fully, primarily and unconditionally liable under this Lease and shall not thereby be released from the
performance and observance of all the agreements and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed hereunder. No assignment under the immediately preceding sentence and no other assignment or other transfer of Tenant’s interest
in this Lease to which Landlord may hereafter consent shall be effective unless and until the assignee or transferee thereunder shall deliver to Landlord, in recordable form a copy of the assignment or transfer thereto and the agreement of such
assignee or transferee with Landlord to perform and observe all of the terms and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed under this Lease. A business organization shall be deemed to be affiliated with any corporation (a) if
such business organization controls or is controlled by such corporation either directly by ownership or a majority of its voting stock or, if publicly held, of such minority thereof as to give it substantial control of such corporation, or
indirectly by ownership of such majority of voting stock of another business corporation so controlling such corporation, or (b) if such business organization is so controlled by another business organization so controlling such corporation, or
(c) if such business organization and such corporation are substantially controlled by the same stockholders or their families. 
 17. WAIVER OF
SUBROGATION: Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other, to the extent of its insurance coverage, from any and all liability for any loss or damage caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties or any other casualty
covered by its insurance, even if such fire, or other casualty shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the other party, or any persons claiming under it, however, this release shall be in force and effect only with respect to loss or
damage occurring during such time as the releaser’s policies of insurance covering such loss or damage shall contain a clause to the effect that this release shall not affect said policies or the right of the releaser to recover thereunder.
Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees that its fire and other casualty insurance policies will include such a clause so long as the same is obtainable and is includible without extra cost, or if extra cost is chargeable, therefore, so long as the other
party pays such extra cost. If extra cost is chargeable therefore, each party will advise the other thereof and the amount thereof, and the other party at its election, may pay the same but shall not be obligated to do so. 

18. SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES: Tenant agrees that upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall subordinate this Lease and the lien hereof to the lien of
any present or future mortgage or mortgages upon the Demised Premises or any property of which the Demised Premises are a part, irrespective of the time of execution or time of recording of any such mortgage or mortgages. Upon the request of
Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable to give effect to or notice of such subordination none of which may change the terms and conditions hereof, and shall agree, in
substance, that, if the holder of any such mortgage or any person claiming thereunder, including, without limitation, a purchaser at foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall succeed to the interest of Landlord in this Lease, Tenant shall
recognize and attorn to, such holder or other person as its Landlord under this Lease, and shall enter into such further agreements with such mortgagee as such mortgagee shall request. Tenant shall also upon request of the Landlord provide to
Landlord copies of its financial statement and/or federal and state tax returns for the two (2) years prior to the Commencement Date and for each year that the Tenant is in possession of Demised Premises during the Lease Term or any extension
of said Lease Term. Tenant also agrees that if it shall fail at any time to execute, acknowledge or deliver any such instrument requested by Landlord, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, execute, acknowledge and deliver
such instrument as the attorney-in-fact of Tenant and in Tenant’s name; and Tenant hereby makes, constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact for that purpose. The word ‘‘mortgage” as used herein includes
mortgages, deeds of trust and other similar instruments and modifications, consolidations, extensions, renewals, replacements and substitutes thereof. Landlord shall provide tenant ten (10) days notice to tenant before invoking this provision.

 19. ACCESS TO PREMISES: Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Demised Premises or any part
thereof, without charge, during normal business hours after twenty-four (24) hours notice to the Tenant, to inspect the same, to show the Demised Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or (Tenants during the last nine (9) months),
to make or facilitate any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements to the Demised Premises and/or the Building, including, without limitation, to install and maintain in, and remove from, any part of the Demise Premises, pipes, wires and
other conduits (but nothing in this Article 19 contained shall obligate Landlord to make any repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements); and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent or damages by reason of any of the
foregoing. For the period commencing nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease, Landlord may maintain “For Lease” signs on the front or any part of the exterior of the Demised Premises. Additionally, the
Landlord shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises, in the case of emergency, at anytime. 
 20. HOLDING OVER: (A) If Tenant or any
person claiming under Tenant shall remain in possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term of this Lease without any agreement in writing between Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto, prior to the
acceptance of rent by Landlord the person remaining in possession shall be deemed a Tenant-at-sufferance. Such Tenant-at-sufferance shall pay to the Landlord at a rate of four (4) times the rate in effect immediately prior to the expiration of
the term for each month it remains in occupancy and the Tenant shall be responsible for all damages and reasonable costs incurred by the Landlord as a result of said holdover. 

(B) The Tenant shall have the option to hold over for one (30) day period at lease expiration provided the Tenant has given the Landlord written notice,
five (5) months in advance or their intent to do so, pursuant to Section 27. Tenant shall be considered a Tenant at will and shall pay rent equal to the amount paid in the previous month as well as be responsible for all other obligations
of the Lease. Should the Tenant hold over for any period beyond the thirty (30) days, Tenant shall be responsible pursuant to Section (a) of this article. 

21. WAIVERS: Failure of either party to complain of any act or omission on the part of the other party no matter how long the same may continue, shall
not be deemed to be a waiver by either party of any rights hereunder. No waiver by either party at any time, express or implied, of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of any other provision of this Lease
or a consent to any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. If any action by Tenant shall require Landlord’s consent or approval, Landlord’s consent to or approval of such action on any one occasion shall not be deemed a
consent to or approval of said action on any subsequent occasion or a consent to or approval of any other action on the same or any subsequent occasion. No payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant
to Landlord shall be deemed to be anything but payment on account, and the acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount an endorsement or statement thereon or upon a letter accompanying said check that said lesser amount is payment in full
shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept said check without prejudice to recover the balance due or pursue any other remedy. Any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease or by operation of
law, either at law or in equity, upon any breach, shall be distinct, separate and cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other; and no one of them, whether exercised by Landlord or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any
other, and any two or more or all of such rights and remedies be exercised at the same time. 
 22. RULES AND REGULATIONS: Tenant shall observe and
comply with, and will cause its sub-Tenants and its and their employees and agents, to observe and comply with reasonable rules and 

 
regulations from time to time promulgated by Landlord for the benefit and prosperity of the Industrial Park, any, if in which the Demised Premises are situated, including without limitation, the
prohibition or restriction of any activities upon the outdoor areas of the Demised Premises other than parking, loading and unloading. However, neither Tenant nor any person claiming under it shall be bound by any such rules and regulations until
such time Tenant receives a copy thereof. A copy of such rules and regulations is attached hereto and made a part hereof identified as Exhibit D. 
 23.
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 quietly have, hold
and enjoy the Demised Premises during the term of this Lease without any manner of hindrance or molestation from Landlord or any person claiming by through or under Landlord, subject however, to the terms of this Lease any instruments having a prior
lien. 
 24. FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE: If Tenant shall make any default or defaults under this Lease and shall fail to cure the same within ten
(10) days or thirty (30) days as to the non-rent items, after Landlord gives Tenant notice thereof, then, Landlord may, at its election, immediately or at any time thereafter, without waiving any claim for breach of agreement, and without
further notice to Tenant, cure default or defaults for the account of Tenant, except when reasonably deemed necessary by Landlord to prevent injury to person or property Landlord may cure such default without waiting ten (10) days or thirty
(30) days as applicable to the form of default, but after notice to Tenant, and, in either case, the cost to Landlord thereof: shall be deemed to be additional rent due upon demand shall be added to the installment of rent next accruing or to
