regulations of any self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are

filed by the Company complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of
the SEC Reports, when filed (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the Closing Date,
then on the date of such filing) by the Company, contained any untrue statement of a material fact

reclassifications or other similar events, there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment
provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to
security holders) and the issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to
issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Investors) and

will not result in a right of any holder of the Company’s securities to adjust the exercise, conversion,
exchange or reset price under such securities.

expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) the Company is not in default under

would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration
or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or

federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii)

          (j) Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Shares (and the shares
of Common Stock into which the Shares are convertible) are characterized as “restricted securities”
under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a

outside the United States, it agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each

A. Tenant has occupied the Premises since on or about March 24, 2003 under a written
lease agreement dated March 24, 2003. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any
improvements or alterations to the Premises or the Building whatsoever prior to the

the foregoing, however, shall not relieve Landlord of its maintenance and repair obligations
with respect to the Building as otherwise set forth in this Lease.

B. Tenant Improvements. With respect to “Tenant Improvements”, Tenant agrees that all
construction has been performed in a workmanlike manner with valid permits. If any
improvements to the Building or Premises are required by the local municipality due to the

zoning ordinances. Tenant in its use and occupancy of the Premises shall not

 

2

 

commit waste, nor overload the floors or structure, nor subject the Premises to any use which
would tend to damage any portion thereof, provided such tendency to cause damage is reasonably
foreseeable.

All of the portions of the Building made available by Landlord for use in common to tenants
and their employees and invitees (“Common Areas”) shall at all times remain subject to Landlord’s
exclusive control and Landlord shall be entitled to make such changes in the Common Areas as it
deems appropriate, so long as access to the Premises is not materially changed and Tenant’s
occupancy of the Premises for its desired use is not interrupted.

6. Security Deposit.

Tenant has deposited the sum of Seventy Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000.00)
(hereinafter the “Security Deposit”) with Landlord. This Security Deposit will be returned to

Lease and upon return of the Premises to Landlord in full compliance with the terms -of this Lease.

Security Deposit as provided for above, Tenant shall promptly restore such deposit to the original
amount. Landlord may, at its discretion, commingle such funds with its other funds.

Tenant shall, during the Term of this Lease conform the use Tenant makes of the Premises to
all applicable laws, statutes, orders, ordinances, rules and regulations of all federal, state or
political subdivisions having jurisdiction over the Premises, now in force or that may be enacted
hereafter, provided that the provisions of this Paragraph 7 shall not require the Tenant to
structurally rebuild, the Premises and/or the improvements forming a part of the Premises to make
said Premises and/or improvements comply with any such laws, statutes, orders, ordinances, rules or
regulations, unless such structural improvements are required due to the specific use that Tenant
makes of the Premises. To Landlord’s knowledge, since the date that is two (2) years prior to the
Commencement Date, Landlord has not received any written notice from any governmental body that the
Building violates in any material respect any governmental law or regulation, which remains

without the prior approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. For
purposes of this Section 9, a “material” change, alteration or addition shall be a change that

unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord so requests at least three (3) months
before the expiration of the Lease, Tenant shall remove its Tenant Improvements and other
alterations to the Premises at the expiration of the Lease and restore the Premises to an office

trade fixtures, signs, laboratory equipment, goods and materials used in Tenant’s business shall at
all times remain personal property and may be removed from time to time by Tenant provided,
however, that Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of repair and restoration of any physical

Exhibit C to this Lease (the “Conveyed Furniture”) has been conveyed to Tenant and is the
sole property of Tenant. The items listed in Exhibit D and in Exhibit E

to the extent that Tenant elects to and actually does remove Tenant’s Equipment Inventory, Tenant
shall be responsible for the cost of repair and restoration of any physical injury to the Premises
caused by the removal of Tenant’s Equipment Inventory, subject to ordinary wear and tear. A
detailed schedule of all of Tenant’s Equipment Inventory, signed and dated by Landlord and Tenant,

inventory is owned by and has been acquired and installed by such party. To the extent Tenant or
Landlord acquires and installs any future inventory itmes in the Premises or the Building (the
“Additional Inventory Items”), such Additional Inventory Items shall be added by amending the
appropriate Exhibit and attaching such amended Exhibit to the Lease

schematic diagram, Tenant shall not be required to remove the Cabling upon termination of the
Lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that significant cabling existed in the Premises prior to
Tenant’s lease of the Premises, and Tenant shall not be required to remove, identify or label the
pre-existing cabling.

the Premises at such time as the interruption exceeds five (5) business days.

12. Repairs.

 

5

 

(a) Landlord Repairs. Landlord, during the Term of this Lease and any extension
thereof, shall make (i) all repairs and replacements to all structural portions of the Premises and
Building, including, but not limited to, the exterior walls (including doors), roof and
foundations, pipes and conduits, and utility installations, serving the Building and Premises, (ii)
all repairs and replacements to all Common Areas, including without limitation all sidewalks,
driveways, service areas and curbs (irrespective of any duty on the part of any governmental agency
to make or order such repairs and replacements), and (iii) all repairs and replacements necessary
to put and maintain the exterior of the Building and parking area (including, but not limited to,
filling holes and resealing as necessary, but subject to normal wear and tear), including all
improvements now or hereafter thereon, and all appurtenances thereto (including sewer and sewer
connections, water and gas pipes and connections, electrical wires and connections) in a safe and
tenantable condition and in good order and repair as expected for a comparable single story office
flex building in the Northern Suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, except for those repairs made necessary
by the negligent acts of the Tenant or its employees to the extent those repairs are not covered by
Landlord’s insurance. Landlord shall make all repairs to the interior of the Premises which may be
of a structural nature or which are caused by structural failures or movement, repairs to the
interior of the Premises made necessary by leakage of the roof, or by leakage of any utility
installation; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to make repairs for any
structural damage caused by Tenant, its employees, invitees or agents. Upon the necessity for any
of the foregoing repairs and/or replacements, whether Landlord learns of such necessity via notice
from Tenant or otherwise, Landlord agrees to expeditiously make such repairs and/or replacements at
Landlord’s sole cost and expense (i.e., not to be charged back to Tenant as part of common area
cost). Landlord shall commence such repairs and/or replacements not later than five (5) business
days after (or immediately after, in the event of imminent threat to person or property) Landlord
learns or is notified of the need therefor, and shall diligently pursue such repairs and/or
replacements to completion. Lawns, landscaping and shrubbery care and snow removal shall be the
responsibility of Landlord and shall be a common area maintenance cost of which Tenant shall pay
its proportionate share.

(b) Tenant Repairs. Tenant, during the Term of this Lease and any extension thereof,
agrees to keep in good order and repair all interior portions of the Premises (including overhead
doors, docks contained within the Premises and the electric operators thereof,), except such
repairs as under this Lease Landlord is required to make and except repairs which are made
necessary because of faulty construction and except repairs which are the obligation of Landlord
under Paragraph 16 of this Lease. Tenant shall also provide ordinary maintenance for the plumbing
and light fixtures (within the Premises) and shall replace any interior glass (not part of the
outside walls) which may be damaged or broken with glass of the same quality. Tenant, at Tenant’s
cost, will be responsible for trash removal, janitorial and security for the Premises. In addition,
Tenant shall (at Tenant’s cost and expense, but subject to the following paragraph 12(c)) maintain
and repair (but not insure) the items listed in Exhibit D and Exhibit E as the
Landlord Equipment Inventory that are being utilized by Tenant during the Term of this Lease.
Tenant shall be solely responsible for repair, maintenance and replacement of Tenant’s Equipment
Inventory (including, without limitation, HVAC equipment previously installed by Tenant and which
in the future may be installed by Tenant) and Tenant’s Furniture. During the full term of this
Lease and any renewal, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall obtain and keep in force,
an annual maintenance contract (the “Maintenance Contract”) for service and routine maintenance of
the HVAC systems and facilities serving the Premises. The Maintenance Contract shall be with a
company reasonable acceptable to Landlord.

 

6

 

(c) Capital Repair and Replacement of Landlord Equipment Inventory. In the event that capital
repairs or replacements are required to be made to any of Landlord Equipment Inventory, or if this
equipment requires repairs or replacement of parts, or both, of a major or substantial nature
(i.e., in excess of proper, periodic and normal maintenance and inspection), these repairs or
replacements, or both, shall be made by Landlord, at Landlord’s initial expense. Examples of “parts
of a major or substantial nature” are compressors, boilers and fan units. Upon Landlord’s
completion of and payment in full of the cost of the repairs and/or replacements in question,
Landlord may invoice Tenant for Tenant’s Share (defined below) of such cost, which invoice will be
accompanied with reasonable substantiating backup material. Tenant shall pay such amount, as
Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice and backup materials.
“Tenant’s Share” is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of years (including partial
years) remaining in the then-current term of the Lease, and the denominator of which is the useful
life (as defined by MACRS IRS Tables) of such capital item.

(d) Self Help. Notwithstanding anything in Section 19(c) of this Lease to the contrary, in
the event Landlord (i) fails to timely commence, or thereafter, to diligently pursue to completion,
the repair or replacement of those items which are Landlord’s responsibility under Section 12(a)
within five (5) business days after receiving written notice from Tenant of the need for such
repair, replacement or maintenance or (ii) fails to consistently provide any of Landlord’s other
maintenance obligations under this Lease within five (5) business days after receiving written
notice from Tenant of the need for such repair, replacement or maintenance, Tenant shall have the
right to undertake such repair, replacement or maintenance and submit the invoices for same to
Landlord. Upon Landlord’s receipt and approval of the invoices for same (which approval may be
withheld only if and to the extent that Landlord demonstrates that the cost for same is ten (10%)
percent or more in excess of commercially reasonable cost; alternatively, and at Tenant’s sole
election, approval shall be presumed if Tenant obtains competitive bids from at least three
qualified contractors and engages the lowest bidder), and verification of payment by Tenant (the
“Approved Invoice”), Tenant shall receive a credit against the amount of Base Rent and Additional
Rent due for the next full succeeding month or months in the amount of such Approved Invoice.
Provided, if Landlord has commenced with such repair, replacement or maintenance within said five
(5) business day period and diligently continues with same, Tenant shall not be entitled to
undertake any such repair, replacement or maintenance.

13.  Intentionally Deleted.

14. Utilities and Services.

Tenant shall pay for all water, heat, gas, fuel, electricity, telephone service, janitorial
services and all other services in the nature of utility services supplied to the Premises for use
by Tenant as well as services supplied to Tenant in the operation of its business, together with
any taxes thereon. If any of such services are interrupted due to the fault of Landlord, its
agents, employees, contractors or other tenants and such interruption continues for three (3)
consecutive business days, and if, as a result of such interruption Tenant is unable to reasonably
conduct its business in the Premises, then Tenant’s obligation to pay rent shall prospectively
abate as to the portion of Tenant’s Premises which become untenantable until such services are
restored.

15. Inspection.

 

7

 

Tenant will allow Landlord, upon twenty-four (24) hour notice from Landlord, (except no notice
shall be required in the case of an emergency), access to the Premises at reasonable times during
normal working hours for the purpose of examining or exhibiting the same or making repairs Landlord
is required to make or exhibiting same to lenders and prospective purchasers. Unless Tenant has
given notice to Landlord to extend the Term of this Lease, Landlord may exhibit the Premises to
prospective tenants at any time within one (1) year prior to the expiration of the lease Term or
any extension thereof.

16. Damage or Destruction of Premises.

A. In the event of minor damage (less than fifty percent (50%) to the Premises by fire or any
other cause which renders the Premises untenantable in part but Tenant is able in its reasonable
judgment to conduct its business therein, and Tenant continues to occupy them in part, the rent
shall be apportioned and reduced from the date the damage occurs in the proportion that the
unoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the entire Premises until the damage has been repaired.

B. In the event of substantial damage (fifty percent (50%) or more) (including destruction) to
the Premises by fire or any other cause which renders the Premises untenantable in whole or in such
part that Tenant in its reasonable judgment deems it impracticable to conduct its business therein,
the rent shall wholly abate and be apportioned from the date the damage occurs until the damage has
been repaired.

C. In the event of either minor or substantial damage, unless this Lease is terminated as
hereafter provided in Paragraph 16.D, hereof, Landlord shall commence within ten (10) days after
the date the damage occurs (or within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice is given) to
repair the Premises to the condition in which they were immediately prior to such damage, and
Landlord shall complete such repair with due diligence and dispatch. If the damage is not repaired
within a reasonable time or in any event within sixty (60) days from the date the damage occurs in
the case of minor damage and one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the damage occurs in the
case of substantial damage, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord
written notice (served no later than thirty (30) days after such right to cancel and terminate
arises) of termination.

D. In the event the Premises are damaged at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the
initial lease Term or at any time during the last twelve (12) months of any extension term by fire
or any other cause to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the replacement value thereof as
of the date such damage occurs, this Lease, hereof, may be terminated at the election of either
Landlord or Tenant by giving notice in writing of such election to the other party within ten (10)
days from the date the damage occurs. Upon such termination, any unearned rent or other payments
paid in advance beyond the date of damage shall immediately he refunded to Tenant.

17. Condemnation.

A. If the whole or any substantial part (fifty percent (50%) or more) of the Premises shall be
taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose, the Term of this Lease
shall end upon, and not before, the date when the possession of the part so

 

8

 

taken shall actually be required for such use or purpose. Current rent shall thereupon be
apportioned as of the date of such termination.

B. If only an insubstantial part (less than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises shall be taken
or condemned, and Tenant is able, in its reasonable judgment, to continue to operate its business
in the Premises, and such taking or condemnation does not give Tenant the right to terminate this
Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and the rental due thereunder shall
abate proportionately to the extent that Tenant is deprived of usable area either in the Premises
or otherwise, and as of the date of such deprivation. If Tenant is not able, in its reasonable
judgment, to continue normal business operation, Tenant may terminate this Lease immediately upon
written notice to Landlord. In the event this Lease is not terminated under this Paragraph,
Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, restore the remaining portion of the Premises
to the extent necessary to render them reasonably suitable for the purposes for which they were
leased, and shall make all repairs to the Premises to the extent necessary to constitute the
Premises a complete architectural unit.

C. In any such case, whether this Lease is terminated or not, each party shall be entitled to
claim and receive an award of damages suffered by it by reason of such taking. Landlord shall be
entitled to receive and retain the entire award or consideration for the affected lands and
improvements and Tenant shall not have or advance any claims against Landlord for the value of its
property or its leasehold estate or the unexpired term of this Lease or for costs of removal or
relocation or business interruption expense or any other damages arising out of the taking or
purchase. Nothing herein shall give Landlord any interest in, or preclude Tenant from seeking and
recovering on its own account from the condemning authority, any award of compensation attributable
to the taking or purchase of Tenant’s chattels or trade fixtures or attributable to Tenant’s
relocation expense or loss of goodwill provided that any such separate claim by Tenant shall not
reduce or adversely affect the amount of Landlord’s award. If any such award made or compensation
paid to Tenant specifically includes an award or amount for Landlord, Tenant shall promptly account
therefor to Landlord.

18. Landlord’s and Tenant’s Liability.

Landlord shall not be liable for damage to property of Tenant in the Premises and the common
areas or for injury to person unless such damage or injury is caused by (A) Landlord’s failure to
make repairs or perform any obligations which Landlord is obligated to make under this Lease or (B)
is caused by the fault or negligence of Landlord, Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors, licensees or other authorized representatives.

Tenant shall not be liable for damage to property of Landlord in or around the Building (but
excluding the Premises) and the common areas or for injury to person unless such damage or injury
is caused by (A) Tenant’s failure to make repairs it is obligated to make under this Lease or (B)
is caused by the fault or negligence of Tenant, its agent, employees, contractors, subcontractors,
licensee or other representatives.

19. Default.

A. If any default of Tenant continues uncorrected for thirty (30) days (seven (7) days in the
case of a default in the payment of rent or other amount due hereunder) after

 

9

 

receipt of written notice from the Landlord, stating with particularity the nature and extent
of the default, the Landlord may cancel this Lease by written notice of cancellation; provided,
however, that in the case of a non-monetary default which cannot be reasonably cured by Tenant
within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall be granted an additional period of time within which to
effect a cure so long as Tenant has commenced and is diligently pursuing a cure within the initial
thirty (30) day period. No delay or omission of Landlord in exercising any right accruing upon any
default of Tenant shall impair any such right or be construed to be a waiver thereof; and every
such right may be exercised at any time during the continuance of such default. A waiver by
Landlord of a breach or a default by Tenant under any of the terms and conditions of this Lease may
be exercised at any time during the continuance of such default. A waiver by Landlord of a breach
or a default under any of the terms and conditions of this Lease by Tenant shall not be construed
to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or of any other term or condition of this Lease.

B. In the event of any default or breach of this Lease by Tenant, which continues beyond
applicable cure periods, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand,
and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by
reason of such default:

(i) terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means,
in which case this Lease and the Term hereof shall terminate and Tenant shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. If Landlord terminates
this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant (A) the worth at the time of award of
the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (B) the worth at
the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been
earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the value of the Premises
for the balance of the Lease Term reduced to present value using the interest rate
of ten percent (10%) per year; and (C) any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its
obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of releasing, including necessary renovation
and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, any real estate
commissions actually paid by Landlord. For purposes of this section, “rent” shall be
deemed to be all monetary obligations required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the
terms of this Lease.

(ii) maintain Tenant’s right of possession in which event Landlord shall have
the remedy which permits Landlord to continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s
breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due,

(iii) collect sublease rents (or appoint a receiver to collect such rent) and
otherwise perform Tenant’s obligations at the Premises, it being agreed, however,
that the appointment of a receiver for Tenant shall not constitute an election by
Landlord to terminate this Lease.

(iv) pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the
laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises are located.

 

10

 

(v) No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive, but shall,
wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

(vi) Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments
thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date
when the term of this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated
hereunder.

C. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform
obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant (except in
the case of an emergency, where Landlord must commence performance within twenty-four (24) hours
after notice) to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage or deed of , trust encumbering the
Building whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing,
specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the
nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its cure,
then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day
period (or in the case of an emergency within twenty-four (24) hours after notice) and thereafter
diligently pursues the same to completion. This Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall
not be affected or impaired because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder
or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is caused by reason of strike or other labor
problems, acts of God, riot, insurrection, governmental actions or requirements, or any other cause
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and the time for Landlord’s performance shall be
extended for the period of any such delay.

D. In the event of a dispute between the parties which requires a party hereto to seek redress
through an action at law or in equity (or to seek redress through a form of Alternative Dispute
Resolution) the losing party shall pay, upon demand, all of the prevailing party’s costs, charges
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such prevailing party in connection
with the resolution of such dispute; provided, however, attorneys’ fees shall be due and payable
only if the prevailing party is required to file suit due to default by the losing party. For
purposes of this Paragraph, the term “losing party” shall mean the party which obtains
substantially less relief than originally sought by such party in the legal or equitable action (or
Alternative Dispute Resolution forum) and the term “prevailing party” shall mean the party which
obtained substantially the relief sought by such party in the legal or equitable action (or
Alternative Dispute Resolution forum).

20. Bankruptcy.

In the event the estate created hereby shall be taken in execution or by other process of law,
or if Tenant shall be adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt pursuant to the provisions of any state or
federal insolvency or bankruptcy law, or if a receiver or trustee of the property of Tenant shall
be appointed by reason of Tenant’s insolvency or inability to pay its debts, or if any assignment
shall be made of Tenant’s property for the benefit of creditors, then and in any of such events,
Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant; provided, however, if the order of
the court creating any of such disabilities shall not be final by reason of pendency of such
proceeding, or appeal from such order, then Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this
Lease so long as Tenant performs its obligations hereunder.

 

11

 

21. Indemnification.

Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, damage, cost, expense or
liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Landlord
arising out of or in connection with any injury to, or death of, any person, or damage to, or
destruction of, property occurring in, on, or about the Premises, the Building in which the
Premises are located and/or the property, and which injury, death, damage or destruction is caused
by the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors,
licensees or other authorized representatives; except that Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for
all loss, damage, cost, expense or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and
disbursements) incurred by Tenant arising out of or in connection with any injury to, or death of,
any person, or damage to, or destruction of, property occurring in, on, or about the Premises, the
Building in which the Premises are located, and the property, and which injury, death, damage or
destruction is caused by the acts or omissions of Landlord or Landlord’s employees, agents,
contractors, subcontractors, licensees or other authorized representatives, and shall indemnify and
hold Tenant harmless therefor. A party’s obligation under this Paragraph to indemnify and hold the
other party harmless shall be limited to the sum that exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds, if
any, received by the party being indemnified. This Section 21 is expressly subject to, and modified
by Section 22E below.

22. Insurance.

A. Landlord shall keep in effect, during the Term of this Lease:

(1) Insurance against damage to the Premises and the Building by fire and other
risks now or hereafter embraced in extended coverage, in amounts sufficient to
prevent Landlord from becoming a co-insurer, but in no event less than full
replacement value (exclusive of the cost of excavations, foundations and footings);

(2) Insurance against such other hazards as, from time to time, are then
commonly insured against for Premises similarly situated (due regard being given to
the Premises’ height, type, construction and use), in the amount of at least Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in any one occurrence upon or in connection with the
use or occupancy of the Premises resulting in bodily injury or death.

B. Tenant shall, at its expense, keep in effect during the Term of this Lease or any
extension thereof, the following insurance in standard form policies, with an insurance
company authorized to do business in the State in which the Premises are situated.

(1) Comprehensive public liability insurance in the amount of at least Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in any one occurrence upon or in connection with the
use or occupancy of the Premises resulting in bodily injury or death.

(2) Comprehensive property damage insurance covering liability or damage in any
one occurrence occurring upon or in connection with the use or occupancy of the
Premises to all property in at least the sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

 

12

 

(3) All risk contents coverage (or Tenant may act as a self-insurer with
respect to such all risk insurance) on Tenant’s personal property, equipment,
furnishings, fixtures, and other chattels located or to be located in the Premises.

(4) The required statutory amount of worker’s compensation insurance.

C. All policies of insurance required to be maintained by Landlord and Tenant pursuant
to this Lease other than B(4) above, shall name the other party as an additional insured as
their respective interests may appear (and if requested by Landlord shall bear appropriate
endorsements to protect Landlord’s mortgagee).

D. Landlord and Tenant shall each furnish, a certificate or certificates of insurance
evidencing the existence the required coverage.

E. The parties release each other, and their respective authorized representatives,
from any claims for damage to any person or to the Premises and the Building and other
improvements in which the Premises are located, and to the fixtures, personal property,
Tenant’s improvements, and alterations of either Landlord or Tenant in or on the Premises
and the Building and other improvements in which the Premises are located that are caused by
or result from risks insured against under any insurance policies carried by the parties and
in force at the time of any such damage.

Each party shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the
insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in
connection with any damage covered by any policy. Neither party shall be liable to the other
for any damage caused by fire or any of the risks insured against under any insurance policy
required by this Lease.

Landlord and Tenant intend, and hereby agree, that the risk of loss or damage to
property shall be borne by the parties’ insurance carriers. It is hereby agreed that
Landlord and Tenant shall look solely to, and seek recovery from, only their respective
insurance carriers in the event a loss is sustained for which Property Insurance is carried
or is required to be carried under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant expressly waive any and
all claims against each other with respect to claims, damages or losses for which Property
Insurance is carried or is required to be carried hereunder. For this purpose, applicable
deductible amounts shall be treated as though they were recoverable under such policies. If
Landlord or Tenant elects to self-insure any of the insurance required of Landlord or Tenant
hereunder, the party electing to self insure shall be considered an insurance carrier for
purposes of this paragraph.

23. Mechanic’s Liens.

The Tenant will not permit any mechanic’s or other liens to stand against the Premises for any
labor or material furnished the Tenant in connection with work of any character performed on said
Premises by or at the direction of the Tenant; and the Landlord will not permit any such liens for
work or material furnished the Landlord to stand against such Premises. However, the Landlord and
the Tenant shall respectively have the right to contest the validity or

 

13

 

amount of any such lien, but upon the final determination of such questions shall immediately
pay any adverse judgment rendered with all proper costs and charges and shall have the lien
released at the contestant’s own expense. If Landlord or Tenant desires to contest any such lien,
then prior to commencing such contest it will furnish the other party with a bond, if requested, to
secure the payment of such obligation.

24. Assignment or Subletting.

A. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an assignment of the Lease or subletting of
all or a portion of the Premises, it shall submit to Landlord, in writing, (i) the name and
legal composition of the proposed assignee or subtenant, (ii) the use to which the proposed
assignee or subtenant intends to put the Premises, (iii) the terms and conditions of the
proposed assignment or sublease and of any related transaction between Tenant and the
proposed assignee or subtenant; (iv) information related to the experience, integrity and
financial resources of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (v) such publicly disclosed
information as Landlord may reasonably request to explain the transaction; (vi)
reimbursement for all reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord, including actual
attorneys’ fees, in connection with evaluating the request and preparing any related
documentation, which shall not exceed Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00); and (vii) the nature
and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant.

B. Landlord’s consent to any such proposed assignment or subletting shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall be considered to have reasonably denied its consent to
a proposed assignment or sublease if:

(i) The assignee or sublessee does not meet the minimum net worth and
creditworthiness standards utilized at the Building for tenants of a similar size
and use;

(ii) Tenant has not given Landlord thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of
such assignment or sublease, which notice shall include all information and
documentation reasonably required to satisfy the above conditions;

(iii)
Tenant is in default beyond any applicable cure period at the time of the
assignment or sublease (but at such time as any default is cured, the assignment or
sublease may proceed); and

(iv) The assignee or sublessee fails to furnish Landlord at least ten (10) days
prior to the effective date of the assignment or sublease, a written assignment
instrument in which assignee or sublessee agrees to assume and be bound by all of
the conditions, obligations and agreements of Tenant contained in this Lease.

C. This Paragraph shall not apply in the case of an assignment or sublease by Tenant to
a corporation which is the parent or subsidiary of or is controlled by Tenant, or to a
corporation, resulting from any reorganization or merger to which Tenant or its parent or
any of its subsidiaries Or any corporation controlled by it is a party.

D. In no event will Tenant be released from its obligations under the Lease. If consent
to an assignment or sublease is given, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as

 

14

 

Additional Rent fifty percent (50%) of all amounts received from the assignee or
subtenant in excess of the amounts otherwise payable by Tenant to Landlord with respect to
the space involved calculated on a per square foot basis, less Tenant’s cost of commissions
and legal fees. Profits on an assignment or sublease by Tenant shall be computed after
deduction of all expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with any such sublease or
assignment including (a) brokerage; (b) reasonable legal fees; (c) construction costs; (4d)
market financial concessions granted to subtenant; (e) depreciation of any laboratory
equipment owned by Tenant and used by subtenant and (f) any other costs reasonably incurred
by Tenant applicable to the sublease or assignment.

E. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 24, Tenant shall be
prohibited from subleasing any portion of the Premises to (i) an existing tenant of the
Building or (ii) a prospective tenant of the Building with whom Landlord or its
representatives are actively negotiating, as evidenced by a current term sheet or written
proposal between the prospective tenant and Landlord.

25. Delays.

In the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the
performance of any of their or its respective provisions anywhere herein contained, by reason of
(i) the destruction, in whole or in part, of any building or improvement forming a part of the
entire Premises, or (ii) strikes, or (iii) lockouts, or (iv) labor troubles, or (v) war, whether
declared or undeclared, or (vi) riot, or (vii) Act of God, or (viii) embargoes, or (ix) delays in
transportation, or (x) inability to procure materials and/or labor, or (xi) failure of power, or
(xii) restrictive governmental laws or regulations, whether valid or not, or (xiii) insurrection,
or (xiv) acts of terrorism or (xv) any other reason other than financial, beyond the reasonable
control of such party, and not the fault of the party so delayed or hindered in or prevented from
performing work or doing acts otherwise required under this Lease, then performance of such work or
doing of such acts shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the period for the performance
of such work or doing such acts shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such
delay; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not operate so as to excuse
or release Tenant from the prompt payment of rent or other sums required to be paid by Tenant to
Landlord or to other payees anywhere hereunder.

26. Right of Refusal.

A. In the event (i) that all or any portion of the Building not occupied by Tenant (the
“Adjacent Space”) becomes available on and after the Commencement Date and (ii) Landlord
receives a formal proposal for lease of the Adjacent Space from another Third party tenant
(the “Adjacent Space Proposal”), Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with a complete copy of
the Adjacent Space Proposal. Upon delivery of the Adjacent Space Proposal to Tenant (which
Proposal must contain, at minimum, the rental rate, escalation, abatement, tenant
improvements and length of term), Tenant shall have the right of first refusal (the “Right
of First Refusal”) to lease the Adjacent Space upon the same terms and conditions contained
in the Adjacent Space Proposal. Tenant shall have five (5) days from delivery of the
Adjacent Space Proposal within which to accept the Adjacent Space Proposal and exercise its
Right of First Refusal by delivery of written notice (the “Notice”) of such acceptance to
Landlord. Upon receipt of the Notice,

 

15

 

Landlord shall prepare an amendment to this Lease reflecting Tenant’s lease of the
Adjacent Space (the “Adjacent Space Amendment”) for review by Tenant. Except as otherwise
set forth in the Adjacent Space Proposal, Tenant’s lease of the Adjacent Space shall be on
all of the terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall diligently and
expeditiously agree upon the Adjacent Space Amendment and execute same incorporating the
Adjacent Space. In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot, in good faith, agree upon the
terms of the Adjacent Space Amendment and execute the same within five (5) business days
after delivery of Tenant’s Notice, Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall be deemed to be
irrevocably waived and Landlord shall be entitled to lease the Adjacent Space to the third
party tenant upon the terms contained in the Adjacent Space Proposal.

B. If Tenant does not give the Notice within said five (5) business day period, then
Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall be deemed to be irrevocably waived and Landlord shall
be entitled to lease the Adjacent Space to the third party tenant upon the terms contained
in the Adjacent Space Proposal. However, if the transaction contemplated in the Adjacent
Space Proposal is not consummated, then Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall be reinstated.
Moreover, if the terms contained in the Adjacent Space Proposal are modified so as to be
more advantageous to the tenant, Landlord must provide to Tenant a new Adjacent Space
Proposal, setting forth the modified terms, and Tenant shall again have five (5) business
days within which to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect thereto. If an
Adjacent Space is leased to a third party, after Tenant has failed or declined to exercise
its Right of First Refusal, and such space subsequently during the term of this Lease or any
extension thereof becomes available, Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall again apply to
any re-leasing of such space.

27. Option to Renew.

Tenant is hereby granted two (2) successive options to renew this Lease on the following terms
and conditions:

A. At the time of the exercise of an option to renew and at the time of the commencement of
the said renewal, the Tenant shall not be in default in accordance with the terms and provisions of
this Lease (all required notices having been given and all relevant cure periods having expired),
and shall be in possession of the entire Premises pursuant to this Lease.

B. Notice of the exercise of each option shall be sent to the Landlord, in writing, at
least nine (9) months before the expiration of the then current Term of this Lease.

C. Each renewal term (hereinafter “Renewal Term”) shall be for a period of three (3)
years to commence at the expiration of the initial Term or the then current Term of this
Lease, and all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the respective
Renewal Term except (i) that Base Rent payable for the first Renewal Term shall escalate at
$0.30 per square foot per year (i.e. Base rent for year one of the first Renewal Term shall
be $11.45/s.f., year two at $11.75/s.f, and year three at $12.05/s.f. and (ii) that Base
Rent payable for the second Renewal Term shall be at “Fair Market Rent”.

 

16

 

D. If Tenant fails to exercise the first renewal option for the Premises the later
renewal option shall be considered null and void and of no further force and effect.

E. Fair Market Rent shall be a rental rate equal to the then current market rate, for
comparable space in other buildings comparable to the Premises in the submarket taking into
account all relevant factors including the size and cost of the building in question when
compared to the Premises and the amenity package available for the building in question when
compared to the Premises, the creditworthiness of the Tenant, all concessions which are
being offered to renewal tenants as new tenant improvements, size and location of the space
and the rate shall specifically exclude amounts previously attributed to Tenant’s original
Tenant Improvements (collectively the “Market Rate”).

Upon receiving notice of Tenant’s intent to extend the term of the Lease for the second
Renewal Option, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its determination of Market Rate. In the
event Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate, Tenant shall include with its
notice of rejection, Tenant’s determination of Market Rate. Landlord and Tenant shall then
negotiate in good faith for thirty (30) days following the delivery of Tenant’s notice to Landlord
in an attempt to reach an agreement as to the Market Rate. If, however, Landlord and Tenant are
unable to reach an agreement as to the Market Rate, then Tenant shall have the option within five
(5) days following the end of such thirty (30) day period to (1) revoke its election to extend the
term for the second Renewal Option period of this Lease, or (2) to request non-binding mediation.
In the event that Tenant shall revoke its notice to extend the term of this Lease, the Lease shall
expire per its terms. In the event that Tenant shall elect the non-binding mediation, then Landlord
and Tenant shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, each designate a qualified real estate
professional. The two (2) such appointees shall within five (5) days thereafter, designate a third
real estate professional having substantially similar qualifications.

After a third real estate professional has been designated in accordance with the above
paragraph, then within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third representative, the
group shall present their findings regarding the issues of market terms and conditions to both the
Landlord and Tenant. If, at that time, Landlord and Tenant are in agreement with the mediation
group’s findings, then the Lease shall be modified under those terms and conditions.
If, at the time of the mediation group’s presentation, no agreement can be reached then, Tenant’s
sole option is to cancel the option to renew or to agree to Landlord’s determination of Market
Rate.

28. Intentionally Deleted.

29. Subordination.

This Lease shall be subject and subordinated at all times to the liens of any mortgages or
deeds of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever now existing or hereafter encumbering the
Premises, without the necessity of having further instruments executed by Tenant to effect such
subordination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver
upon demand, such further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to such liens of
mortgages or deeds of trust as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. So long as Tenant shall pay
the rent reserved and comply with, abide by and discharge

 

17

 

the terms, conditions, covenants and obligations on its part, to be kept and performed herein
and shall attorn to any successor in title, the peaceable possession of the Tenant in and to the
Premises for the Term of this Lease, shall not be disturbed, in the event of the foreclosure of any
such mortgage or deed of trust, by the purchaser at such foreclosure sale or such purchaser’s
successor in title. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 29, Tenant shall not
be obligated to subordinate its interest in this Lease unless the mortgagee agrees in writing
pursuant to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement or the like, in a form
reasonably acceptable to Tenant, not to disturb Tenant’s lawful possession of the Premises and to
recognize Tenant’s rights under this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond applicable
cure periods under the terms of this Lease.

30. Holdover.

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Term of this Lease or any extension thereof,
the Base Rent shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the base monthly rental as paid during
the last month of the initial Term or any renewal term hereof, and shall otherwise be on the terms
and conditions herein specified so far as applicable.

31. Intentionally Deleted.

32. Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to settle any claim or controversy arising out of this Lease
through consultation and negotiation in the spirit of mutual friendship and cooperation. If such
attempts fail, then the dispute shall first be submitted to a mutually acceptable neutral advisor
for mediation, fact-finding or other form of alternate dispute resolution. Neither of the parties
may unreasonably withhold acceptance of such an advisor, and his or her selection will be made
within 30 days after notice by the other party demanding such mediation. Cost of such mediation or
any other alternate dispute resolution agreed upon by the parties shall be shared equally by
Landlord and Tenant. Any dispute which cannot be so resolved between the parties within sixty (60)
days of the date of the initial demand by either party for such mediation, shall be finally
determined by the courts. The use of such a procedure shall not be construed to affect adversely
the rights of either party under the doctrines of laches, waiver or estoppel. Nothing in this
Paragraph shall prevent either party from pursuing judicial proceedings if (a) good faith efforts
to resolve a dispute under these procedures have been unsuccessful or (b) interim resort to a court
is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to a party or to others.

33. Environmental.

(1) “Environmental Conditions” shall mean the environmental conditions at the Premises,
including the presence of any Hazardous Materials, as of the commencement of the term of
this Lease.

relating to health, safety or the environment, now in effect or hereinafter enacted,
including but not limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response

 

18

 

Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), the Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”),
the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (“FIFRA”), the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) and all similar state and local laws, rules,
regulations and guidance, now in existence ‘ or hereinafter enacted, as each such law, rule
or regulation may be amended from time to time.

(3) “Environmental Hazard” shall mean Hazardous Materials (as defined hereinafter), or
the storage, handling, production, disposal, treatment or release thereof.

48. Rules and Regulations.

Tenant agrees for itself, its employees, agents, clients, customers, invitees and guests, to
comply fully with the following reasonable rules and regulations and with such reasonable
modifications thereof and additions thereto as Landlord may make for the Building.

A. Tenant shall not use the name of the Building for any purpose other than that of the
business address of Tenant, nor shall Tenant advertise its business or profession in any
manner that violates the codes of ethics adopted by any recognized association or
organization pertaining to such business or profession. Any use by Tenant of any picture or
likeness of the Building does not constitute the granting by Landlord of any rights to the
use of the design of the Building by any party nor a waiver of any rights with respect
thereto.

B. Tenant shall not obstruct or permit the obstruction in any manner of the sidewalks,
driveways, docks, dock areas, walks, parking areas and other common areas of the property,
except as reasonably required for immediate loading or unloading, nor shall Tenant place
objects against glass partitions, doors or windows which would be unsightly from the
exterior of the Building.

C. Except for guide dogs, no animals or pets shall be brought or permitted to be in the
Building or on the Premises.

 

23

 

D. Tenant shall not make noises, cause disturbances or vibrations, or use or operate
any electrical or electronic devices or other devices that emit anything which may disturb
or annoy other tenants or occupants of the Building or interfere with their use of any
device, or play any loud musical equipment or instruments that will disturb other tenants or
occupants of the Building.

E. Tenant shall not create any odors which may be offensive to other tenants or
occupants of the Building.

F. Except upon prior permission of Landlord, no additional locks or similar devices
shall be attached to any door and no locks shall be changed except by Landlord. No keys for
any door other than those provided by Landlord shall be made. If more than two keys for one
lock are desired by Tenant, Landlord shall provide the same upon payment of a reasonable fee
by Tenant. Upon termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s possession of the Premises, Tenant
shall surrender all keys for door locks and other locks in or about the Premises and shall
make known to Landlord the combination of all locks, safes, cabinets and vaults which are
not removed by Tenant.

G. Tenant assumes full responsibility for protecting the Premises from theft, robbery
and pilferage. Except during Tenant’s normal business hours, Tenant shall keep all doors to
the Premises locked and other means of entry to the Premises closed and secured.

H. Tenant shall not overload any driveway, parking area or any floor and shall not
install any heavy objects, safes, machines or other equipment without having received
Landlord’s prior written consent as to size, maximum weight, routing and location thereof.

I. Tenant shall ascertain from Landlord the maximum amount of electrical current which
can safely be used in the Premises, taking into account the capacity of the electric wiring
in the Building and the Premises and the needs of other tenants and shall not use more than
such safe capacity. Landlord’s consent to the installation of electric equipment shall not
relieve Tenant from the obligation not to use more electricity than such safe capacity.

J. Tenant shall not burn any trash or refuse in the Building or on the property.

Tenant shall be responsible for the observance of all of the foregoing rules and
regulations by Tenant’s employees, agents, clients, customers, invitees and guests. Landlord
and Tenant agree that Landlord’s remedy for violation of any of the foregoing rules and
regulations by Tenant (or any person or entity under Tenant’s authority or control) shall be
a payment by Tenant to Landlord an amount equal to the reasonably substantiated actual
damages suffered or incurred by Landlord on account of such
violation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Lease and the rules and
regulations, the Lease shall prevail and control. Any violation of the rules and regulations
by any individual that is not under Tenant’s control shall not constitute a default under

 

24

 

the Lease. Landlord shall enforce the rules and regulations in a non-discriminatory manner
but in any event to provide Tenant quiet enjoyment of the Premises for the use permitted by
the Lease.

49. Counterparts.

This Lease may be executed in counterparts, which together shall constitute a single
instrument.

50. Additional Rent — Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes.

For purposes of this Paragraph and this Lease, the term “Tenant’s Percentage Share” shall mean
a percentage which is equal to the number of the rentable square footage of the Premises divided by

area; (2) the Building of which the Premises are a part consists of a total of 83,172 rentable
square feet of area; and (3) the Tenant’s Percentage Share is forty-nine and 22/100 percent
(49.22%) in reference to the Building of which the Premises are a part. Landlord and Tenant each
acknowledge that the Base Rent specified in Paragraph 3 of the Lease does not provide for Operating
Expenses and Real Estate Taxes which may hereafter pertain to the Building of which the Premises
are a part. Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent its proportionate share of Real Estate Taxes and
Operating Expenses as follows:

A. Real Estate Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, Tenant’s Percentage Share of the
Real Estate Taxes assessed against the land and improvements of the Building of which the
Premises form a part. The Additional Rent imposed hereby shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord

basis with Tenant’s Base Rent payments. Should the taxing authorities include in such Real
Estate Taxes the value of any improvements made by Tenant, or include machinery, equipment,
fixtures, inventory or other personal property or assets of Tenant, the Tenant shall also
pay the entire taxes for such items. The term “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean all general and
special real and personal property taxes and assessments for the Building and expenses
incurred in efforts to reduce taxes or assessments.

B. Operating Expenses. In addition to the monthly Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to the
parties respectively entitled thereto all impositions (including any taxes on rentals paid

any provisions of this Lease as being Tenant’s responsibility and cost, during the Term. The

Share of the Operating Expenses pertaining to the land and improvements of the Building of
which the Premises form a part. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Operating Expenses”
shall consist of all costs of operating,

properly classified as capital expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating

by Landlord to comply with laws and regulations passed after the date of this Lease
(“Compliance Capital Costs”); Compliance Capital Costs shall be amortized over the
useful life of the improvements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and shall not exceed in any year an amount equal to three percent (3%) of
the total Operating Expenses, excluding taxes, for such year; and (ii) to the extent
that any such repairs, alterations, additions, etc. result in a reduction of

accounting principles, but in. an amount which does not exceed the savings in
operating expenses which has been realized for that year.

relationship.

If Landlord desires Tenant to pay its proportionate share of Real Estate Taxes and Operating
Expenses on a monthly basis, at the beginning of each calendar year, Landlord shall supply to
Tenant an estimate, certified by an authorized agent or officer of Landlord, setting forth in
detail Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for the Building
for such calendar year, and Tenant’s Percentage Share of same. The Additional Rent imposed hereby
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in monthly installments, in advance, as the Operating Expenses
and Real Estate Taxes components of the total monthly rent. Each such monthly installment of
Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant’s
Percentage Share of the Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Operating Expenses and Real Estate
Taxes for the Building for such calendar year. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the end
of each calendar year Landlord shall provide to Tenant a detailed statement, certified by an
authorized agent or officer of Landlord, setting forth in reasonable detail the actual Operating
Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for the preceding calendar year. Such statement shall also include a
calculation or reconciliation of estimated Operating Expenses to actual Operating Expenses and of
any overpayment or underpayment made by Tenant to Landlord with respect to the Operating Expenses
for such preceding calendar year. In the event
Tenant underpaid Landlord for Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses for such
preceding calendar year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such underpayment to Landlord within thirty
(30) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s certified statement. In the event Tenant

 

28

 

overpaid
Landlord for Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes of such year,
Landlord shall credit Tenant an amount equal to such overpayment amount against Tenant’s future
monthly Operating Expense and Real Estate Tax obligations until such credit is exhausted. (If such
overpayment by Tenant is made in the last year of the Lease Term, Landlord shall remit to Tenant
the amount of the overpayment due hereunder within thirty (30) days of the expiration or
termination date of the Lease.) If a dispute arises between Landlord and Tenant as to whether any
item or items shall be properly included in such statement, the matter shall be determined in
accordance with Paragraph 32 of the Lease, and the determination of such matter as therein provided
shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall provide a statement not later
than July 1st following the close of any calendar year reconciling Tenant’s estimated
payments for Operating Expenses and the actual amounts owed by Tenant for such year (“Annual
Statement”). Furthermore, Landlord shall not increase the amount of estimated payments for
Operating Expenses in a current year until the Operating Expenses for the previous year has been
reconciled by an Annual Statement.

Tenant, or its certified professional accountant, shall have the right to examine Landlord’s
books and records showing Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense. Such examination will be upon reasonable prior notice to Landlord and during normal
business hours at any time within four (4) months following the furnishing by Landlord to Tenant of
Landlord’s annual statement reconciling estimated operating expenses to actual operating expenses.
Tenant shall pay its cost incurred in connection with the audit and shall not be reimbursed by
Landlord unless Tenant elects to dispute the statement of Additional Rent and/or Operating Expenses
and such statement determined to be in error in Landlord’s favor (i.e., Landlord has overcharged)
by more than four percent (4%), in which case, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of any
such error and shall pay Tenant’s reasonable audit costs within thirty (30) days after notice
thereof. If such statement is determined to be in error in Landlord’s favor by four percent (4%) or
less, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of such error. Tenant shall have the right to use
an auditor of its choice as long as the auditor is a certified professional accountant and whose
fee is computed on a contingency basis, if Tenant so chooses.

51. Landlord’s Right of Entry.

Upon reasonable notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have access to the Premises for purposes of
showing the Premises to current or prospective lenders, to prospective purchasers of the Building
and, during the twelve-month period preceding the expiration of the term of this Lease, to
prospective tenants.

52. Surrender.

Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession, Tenant
shall surrender the Premises in a clean undamaged condition, in good working order, reasonable wear
and tear and damage by casualty expected, and shall remove all of Tenant’s equipment, fixtures,
Tenant Improvements and property and repair all damage caused by the removal and restore the
Premises.

53. Landlord Liability.

 

29

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, neither Landlord nor Landlord’s
directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, constituent partners, beneficiaries,
trustees, representatives, successors or assigns (collectively “Landlord’s Affiliates”) shall be
personally responsible or liable for any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or
agreement contained in the Lease, and the sole right and remedy of the Tenant or any subsequent
sublessee or assignee shall be against Landlord’s interest in the Building. Neither Tenant nor any
subsequent sublessor or assignee shall seek to obtain any judgment imposing personal liability
against Landlord, Landlord’s Affiliates, or their successors or assigns nor execute any judgment or
place any lien against any property other than Landlord’s interest in the Building. In addition to
Tenant’s rights contained herein or available in law or in equity, in the event Tenant obtains a
judgment against Landlord (which is not appealed by Landlord) arising out of Landlord’s default
under the Lease, Tenant may, to the extent the judgment is not paid by Landlord, elect to set off
the amount of the judgment, plus any statutory interest per year, against the next due installments
of Rent. Election by Tenant to set off against Rent shall not constitute an election of remedies
and Tenant may pursue all remedies available at law and equity to enforce the judgment against
Landlord.

54. No Party To Be Deemed Drafter.

Landlord and Tenant have both had the opportunity to have counsel examine this Lease and to
propose changes to clarify any ambiguities. Accordingly, in any interpretation of this Lease, an
ambiguity shall not be resolved by interpreting the Lease against the drafter. The language of this
Lease shall be interpreted according to the fair meaning and not for or against either party.

55. No Intended Third Party Beneficiary.

Landlord and Tenant may each, separately, deal with other persons in connection with the
Premises or with other matters that may also relate to or be the subject of this Lease. Landlord
and Tenant do not intend to make any such third person with whom each of them may deal an intended
third party beneficiary under this Lease. There is no third person who is an intended third party
beneficiary under this Lease. No incidental beneficiary (whatever relationship such person may have
with Landlord or Tenant) shall have any right to bring an action or suit, or to assert any claim
against Landlord or Tenant under this Lease.

56. No Offer.

The submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute a reservation of an option to
lease the Premises, and this Lease becomes effective as a lease only upon its execution, delivery
by Landlord and Tenant and the payment of the Security Deposit by Tenant within five (5) days after
execution.

57. Time is of the Essence.

Time is of the essence as to each and every provision of this Lease.

58. Miscellaneous.

 

30

 

A. Emergency Generators. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to utilize the two (2)
existing emergency generators designated on Exhibit D as part of the Landlord
Equipment Inventory. Responsibility for maintenance, repair and replacement of the
generators allocated in Section 12.

B. Intentionally deleted.

C. Fire Alarm System. The parties hereto acknowledge that the current fire alarm system
jointly services various suites within the Building. Landlord shall be responsible for the
maintenance of the fire alarm system (as an Operating Expense for the Building appropriately
allocated).

internal laws of the State of Illinois.
