WHEREAS, the term of the Lease is set to expire
on July 31, 2021; and

 

WHEREAS, Tenant desires to assign its interest
in the Lease and the Premises and to be released from its obligations under the Lease as of the Assignment Date (as defined herein),
and Landlord is willing to agree to accept such assignment of Tenant’s interest in the Lease and the Premises, to assume
the obligations of Tenant under the Lease and under the Sublease from and after the Assignment Date, and to release Tenant from
its obligations under the Lease and the Sublease, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the mutual receipt and legal sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

 

1.            The foregoing Recitals are incorporated
in this Agreement and made a part hereof by this reference to the same extent as if set forth herein in full. Landlord and Tenant
agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or in this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties
that the Landlord’s acquisition of the Tenant’s interest and estate in the Lease pursuant to this Agreement shall not
cause, nor be deemed to cause to occur, a merger of the leasehold estate and the fee estate lessee in the Premises nor in the Lease.

 

     

     

    

 

2.            Subject to the provisions of this Agreement
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease or in any other agreement, (a) Tenant, as assignor, hereby
assigns, sets over and transfers unto Landlord, as assignee, to have and to hold, all of Tenant’s right, title and interest
in and all of Tenant’s obligations under and benefits in, the Lease and the Premises, together without limitation, the Sublease
and subject to Subtenant’s occupancy of the Sublease Premises, as of the later to occur of (i) August 1, 2015, or (ii) ten
(10) days after the date of receipt by Tenant of the Fee Mortgagee Consent (as defined herein) (the “Assignment Date”)
and, subject to Section 5(a) hereof, Tenant shall be released from all obligations under the Lease, and (b) effective on
the Assignment Date, Landlord shall accept and assume all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to, and obligations
under, the Premises, the Lease and the Sublease, and subject to Section 5(a) hereof, Tenant’s liability under the
Lease accruing from and after the Assignment Date shall be wholly extinguished. Landlord agrees to keep Tenant generally informed
of the status of responses from and substantive correspondence with the Fee Mortgagee (as defined herein) and to immediately transmit
to Tenant a copy of the Fee Mortgagee Consent upon Landlord’s receipt thereof.

 

3.            On or before the Assignment Date (a)
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the lump sum of $4,500,000.00 by wire transfer, as consideration for Landlord’s agreement,
in accordance with the terms hereof, to release Tenant from all liability under the Lease as set forth herein, and (b) Tenant shall
deliver, and Landlord shall accept, possession of the Premises in its present “as is” condition, normal wear and tear
excepted, subject to the Sublease and the continued use and occupancy of the Sublease Premises by Subtenant. Tenant’s obligations
to pay fixed annual rent and all additional rent, escalations and all other amounts under the Lease accruing after the Assignment
Date shall cease to accrue as of the Assignment Date. Any option of Tenant to purchase all or any part of the Premises shall be
null and void as of the Assignment Date. In the event that the Landlord named herein sells, transfers or conveys its fee interest
in the Premises, including any sale, transfer or conveyance of the membership interests or other indirect ownership interests in
Landlord or any parent entity, at any time prior to the date of receipt of the fully executed Fee Mortgagee Consent, the Landlord’s
obligations herein shall be assumed in full by the successor owner (or the successor members or indirect owners) and such assumption
obligation shall be expressly set forth in the applicable purchase and sale agreement, and Landlord shall give written notice to
Tenant of any such pending sale, transfer or conveyance not less than ten (10) days prior to the closing date of such sale, transfer
or conveyance.

4.            Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and
agree that on the Assignment Date, the Sublease shall be assigned from Tenant to and assumed by Landlord. Tenant represents that
as of the date hereof (i) Tenant has not assigned its rights under the Sublease to any other party and there is no restriction
on the assignment of the Sublease to Landlord; (ii) there is no default by the Tenant under the Sublease and, to Tenant’s
knowledge, Subtenant is not in default of its obligations under the Sublease except that Subtenant has not made its payments of
operating expenses due May 31st and June 30th of 2015 (approximately $65,340.00 in the aggregate for such
two (2) months, with the July 2015 payment not yet due and owing); and (iii) there is no security deposit due or owing to Subtenant
under the Sublease except for the Letter of Credit referred to in Section 5 below. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement
does not, and shall not be deemed (a) to restrict Tenant’s right to terminate the Sublease, in connection with the exercise
of Tenant’s rights under the Sublease, in accordance with its terms; nor (b) to restrict Tenant’s right to terminate
the Lease pursuant to Articles XI (casualty) or XII (condemnation) of the Lease, in accordance with the terms of such Articles;
nor (c) to restrict Tenant’s rights to give default notices to, and to seek any remedy, including without limitation, the
right of termination, against, the Subtenant (provided however, Tenant shall not give any default notice to Subtenant nor commence
any eviction action against Subtenant without first obtaining the prior consent of the Landlord thereto, it being agreed that Landlord
shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition any such consent); nor (d) to create any additional restrictions or obligations
upon Tenant’s right, as set forth in the Lease, to sublease and to enter into subleases for all or any portion of the Premises.
Provided that (i) a sublease (the “PuraCap Sublease”) has been executed in favor of PuraCap Pharmaceutical, LLC (“PuraCap”)
which grants Puracap a free rent period of at least 12 months, a consent agreement consenting to such PuraCap Sublease has been
executed by and among the Landlord, PuraCap and Enzon, and PuraCap has taken possession of the premises subleased to PuraCap pursuant
to the PuraCap Sublease, and (ii) PuraCap is not otherwise in default under the PuraCap Sublease on or before January 1, 2016 or
any time thereafter, Enzon hereby agrees to pay to the Prime Landlord within the time periods as provided in the Sublease, on a
monthly basis, the monthly fixed sublease rent which would have been paid by PuraCap pursuant to the PuraCap Sublease if there
were no rent abatement in effect after January 1, 2016, beginning on the later of January 1, 2016 or the Assignment Date until
the earlier of (a) the date that all such payments made by Enzon equals $200,000; or (b) the date that PuraCap no longer has a
right to an abatement of its Fixed Rent pursuant to the terms of its Sublease.

 

5.            (a) As of the Assignment Date, Landlord
(i) shall accept possession of the Premises in the condition as described in Section 3 above, subject to the Sublease and
the subtenancy provided for thereunder, (ii) shall accept the assignment of all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in
and to, and hereby agrees to assume performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under, the Sublease, from and after the Assignment
Date, to have and to hold the same unto Landlord, as assignee, its successors and assigns forever, subject to all of the rents,
terms, covenants and conditions of the Sublease, including for purposes of this assignment and assumption, all obligations of Tenant
contained in the Lease to the extent such obligations were expressly incorporated into the Sublease and to be performed by Tenant
as sublandlord, (iii) shall accept that certain Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit No. 7540673036-900 issued by Morgan Stanley
Bank, N.A., as issuer (the “Letter of Credit”), or in such amount as may then exist (or the cash balance thereof
as may then be held by Tenant), and Tenant shall cause the issuer to reissue the Letter of Credit in Landlord’s name as beneficiary
thereunder, promptly after such Assignment Date but no later than thirty (30) days after later of (X) the Assignment Date or (Y)
the date that Landlord executes and delivers to Tenant the transfer form required in connection with the assignment of the Letter
of Credit, and (iv) except for the Release Exceptions (as hereinafter defined), does hereby waive any and all claims, defaults
and obligations against or owed by Tenant and does hereby release Tenant and its successors and assigns, of and from any and all
claims, damages, covenants, agreements, contracts, obligations, liabilities, actions and courses of action, of every kind and nature
whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with the Lease, the Sublease, the Letter of Credit and the Premises. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall not be released by Landlord for (i) any adverse change in condition of the Premises that occurs between
the date hereof and the Assignment Date to the extent that such condition is the responsibility of Tenant under the Lease, (ii)
any adverse environmental condition at the Premises which, prior to the Assignment Date, is determined by the Landlord to exist,
to the extent that such condition is the responsibility of Tenant under the Lease, and (iii) Tenant’s obligations with respect
to its obligations herein as to the Letter of Credit (collectively the “Release Exceptions”); provided however,
unless Landlord shall have commenced a claim regarding any of such Release Exceptions and Tenant shall have received a written
notice of such claim (the “Claim Notice”) not later than ninety (90) days after the Assignment Date TIME
BEING OF THE ESSENCE, Tenant shall be released and deemed to have been released from, and Landlord shall be deemed to have
expressly waived any and all remedies it may have against Tenant for, any and all liability arising in connection with any such
Release Exceptions for which a Claim Notice has not been received by Tenant on or before such ninetieth (90th) day,
TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE.

consent and to act in good faith and to diligently seek to obtain such consent. In furtherance of obtaining such consent, the parties
agree to submit such forms, provide such information and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Fee Mortgagee,
to the extent that such forms, information and actions are in the possession of or can reasonably be performed by such party; provided
however, (i) Tenant shall have no obligation to incur additional expenses or to agree to adverse terms; and (ii) Landlord shall
have no obligation to incur additional expenses or to agree to terms that are unacceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion.

and, upon receipt of such termination notice, all payments, if any, paid to Landlord on account of this Agreement, shall be returned
to Tenant and this Agreement shall be deemed void ab initio and from and after the Termination Date

ARTICLE V 
 FURTHER
ASSURANCES 
 From time to time after the date hereof, and without any further consideration, each of the Parties shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver all such additional instruments, notices and other documents, and will do all such other acts and things, all in accordance with applicable law, as may be necessary or appropriate to more fully and effectively carry out the
purposes and intent of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the Parties have used their good faith efforts to identify all of the assets being contributed to the Partnership Group as required
in connection with this Agreement. However, due to the age of some of the assets and the difficulties in locating appropriate data with respect to some of the assets, it is possible that assets intended to be contributed ultimately to the
Partnership Group were not identified and therefore are not included in the assets contributed to the Partnership Group as of the Effective Time or the Closing Time, as applicable. It is the express intent of the Parties that the Partnership Group
own all assets necessary to operate the assets that are identified in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement. To the extent that any assets were not identified but are necessary to the operation of the assets that are so identified in this
Agreement and in the Registration Statement, then the intent of the Parties is that all such 

  
 9 

 
unidentified assets are intended to be conveyed to the Partnership Group pursuant to this Agreement. If any such assets are identified at a later date, the Parties shall take all appropriate
action required in order to convey such assets to the Partnership or any applicable member of the Partnership Group. Further, to the extent that any assets that are conveyed to the Partnership Group hereunder are later identified by the Parties as
assets that the Parties did not intend to convey to the Partnership Group as reflected in the Registration Statement, the Parties shall take all appropriate action required to convey such assets to the appropriate Noble Entity. 

Without limiting any liabilities of the Noble Entities or other remedies of the Partnership Group applicable under this Agreement or any other
agreements, if and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment of any assets by any Noble Entity to any member of the Partnership Group or the acquisition of any assets from any Noble Entity by any member of the
Partnership Group would be a violation of applicable law or require any additional consents, approvals or notifications in connection with the transfer of such assets by any Noble Entity to any member of the Partnership Group that have not been
obtained or made by the Effective Time, then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment of such assets to such member of the Partnership Group or the assumption of such assets by such member of the Partnership
Group, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such consents, approvals and notifications
have been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in such event the Noble Entities shall (a) hold such assets for the benefit of the Partnership Group, (b) not transfer or assign such assets, in whole or in part, other than with
the prior consent of the Partnership, and (c) use their respective reasonable best efforts to assure that each member of the Partnership Group receives all of the benefits of the assets attempted to have been transferred to such member until
such time as the attempted transfer is complete, and each member of the Partnership Group shall bear all costs associated with such assets (except costs associated with the attempted transfer or perfecting such transfer, and subject to offset of any
benefits of the assets not received by the Partnership Group against associated costs incurred by the Noble Entities) as if the transfer had been valid and complete.

7.7 Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to contravene, or to be invalid
under, the laws of any political body having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof, such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. Instead, this Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the particular
provision or provisions held to be invalid and an equitable adjustment shall be made and necessary provision added so as to give effect to the intention of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement at the time of execution of this Agreement. 

7.8 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by the written agreement of all the Parties.
