If Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by Landlord, would be included in Operating Expenses) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such tenant. If the Building or the Complex is not fully occupied during all or a portion of any Expense Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the variable components of Operating Expenses for such year or applicable portion thereof, employing sound accounting and management principles, to 2 3 determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid had the Building and/or the Complex been fully occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Operating Expenses for such year, or applicable portion thereof. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Expenses among different tenants of the Building and/or the Complex (the "Cost Pools"). Such Cost Pools may include, without limitation, the office space tenants and retail space tenants of the Building and/or the Complex.

Section 4.4.1 and Section 4.4.2.1 of the Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced by the following: 4.4.1 TENANT'S SHARE OF DIRECT EXPENSES. For any Expense Year ending or commencing within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.2, below, and as Additional Rent, Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year. 4.4.2 STATEMENT OF ACTUAL DIRECT EXPENSES AND PAYMENT BY TENANT. 4.4.2.1 Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant on or before the first day of the sixth month following the end of each Calendar Year, a statement (the "Statement") which shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, the full amount of the Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as the "Estimate," as that term is defined in Section 4.4.3 of this Lease. In the event that the amount paid by Tenant during such Expense Year as an Estimate exceeds the actual Direct Expenses, Landlord shall remit such difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice or prevent Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Share of the Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the full amount of the Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as the Estimate, and any overpayment by Tenant shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days. 2.7 STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED DIRECT EXPENSES. Section 4.4.3 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: 4.4.3 STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED DIRECT EXPENSES. In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the "Estimate Statement") which shall set forth Landlord's reasonable estimate (the "Estimate") of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimate under this Article 4. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due, a fraction of the Estimate for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.3). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimate set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant. 2.8 SERVICES AND UTILITIES. Article 6 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: ARTICLE 6 - SERVICES AND UTILITIES 6.1 STANDARD TENANT SERVICES.

Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for inability of Tenant to obtain or delay in obtaining any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof; and such inability or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to an inability to obtain any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an inability to obtain utilities results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its employees, agents and contractors, and not due to any fault or breach by Tenant, and the Premises are not usable by Tenant for the conduct of Tenant's business as a result thereof, Base Rent and applicable Direct Expenses not actually incurred up to that point by Tenant shall be abated for the period which commences five (5) business days after the date Tenant gives to Landlord notice of such interruption until such utilities are restored. 6.3 OFFICE AND COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES. 6.3.1 Landlord has advised Tenant that certain office and communications services may be offered to tenants of the Building by a concessionaire under contract to Landlord ("Provider"). Tenant shall be permitted to contract with Provider for the provision of any or all of such services on such terms and conditions as Tenant and Provider may agree. Tenant shall also be permitted to obtain office and communications services from any other reputable person or entity in the business of providing the same (herein called an "Alternate Provider"), provided that Landlord shall not be required thereby to make any alterations in or to any part of the Building or the use of any facilities or equipment of the Building, and provided further that no such services provided by an Alternate Provider, or any equipment or facilities used or to be used in connection therewith shall be incompatible in any respect with, or shall interfere with or otherwise impair or adversely affect, the operation, reliability or quality of the Building systems or any services, equipment or facilities used or operated by Provider or any other tenant in the Building. 6.3.2 Tenant acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Landlord has made no warranty or representation to Tenant with respect to the availability of any such services, whether provided by Provider or any Alternate Provider, or the quality, reliability or suitability thereof; (ii) neither Provider nor any Alternate Provider is acting as the agent or representative of Landlord in the provision of such services, and Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for any failure or inadequacy of such services or any equipment or facilities used in the furnishing thereof, or any act or omission of Provider or any Alternate Provider or their agents, employees, representatives, officers or contractors; (iii) Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for the installation, alteration, repair, maintenance, furnishing, operation adjustment or removal of any such services, equipment or facilities; and (iv) any contract or other agreement between Tenant and Provider or any Alternate Provider shall be independent of this Lease, the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and the rights of Landlord hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no default or failure of Provider or any Alternate Provider with respect to any such services, equipment, facilities, or under any contract or agreement relating thereto, shall have any effect on this Lease or give to Tenant any offset or defense to the full and timely performance of its obligations hereunder, or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent or Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, or constitute any actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, or otherwise give rise to any other claim of any nature against Landlord. 6.4 UTILITIES FOR LABORATORY SPACE. In the event Tenant constructs a laboratory within the Premises, Tenant shall cause such laboratory to be separately metered and shall pay the utility companies directly for the cost of any utilities. In the event Tenant pays the utility companies directly for the cost of any utilities, costs for such utilities shall not be included in Direct Expenses. 2.9 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.

Tenant shall promptly report, in writing, to Landlord any defective condition known to it which Landlord is required to repair, and failure to so report any such defect shall make Tenant responsible to Landlord for any liability incurred by Landlord by reason of such condition, to the extent such liability is due to Tenant's failure to so report such defect. 7.3 LANDLORD'S REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS: Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 and Articles 25 and 26, and except for repairs rendered necessary by the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant's Representatives, Landlord agrees, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, to (a) keep in good repair the structural portions of the floors, foundations and exterior perimeter and interior load bearing walls of the Premises (exclusive of glass and exterior doors), and (b) replace the structural portions of the roof of the Premises (excluding the roof membrane). 7.4 TENANT'S FAILURE TO PERFORM REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS: If Tenant refuses or neglects to repair and maintain the Premises and the other areas properly as required herein and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, at any time make such repairs or maintenance without Landlord having any liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant's Property or to Tenant's business by reason thereof, except to the extent any damage is caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord or its authorized agents and representatives.
