If LESSOR is unable to fulfill the conditions set forth above within one hundred twenty (120) days after June 15, 2007, then LESSEE, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity shall be entitled to terminate this Amended and Restated Lease Agreement by written notice to LESSOR delivered within ten (10) days of the expiration of said one hundred twenty (120) day period, and this Amended and Restated Lease Agreement shall be null and void and without recourse to either party, but LESSEE shall be entitled to remain in occupancy of the Current Leased Premises at the rent set forth in this Amended and Restated Lease Agreement for ninety (90) days after such termination.

However, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16 of the Lease, LESSOR shall determine from time to time in its discretion the extent to which spaces are provided in the LESSOR’S Building or at 808 Memorial Drive (provided all the spaces contemplated in said Section 16 are provided from one location or the other, with a minimum of fifteen (15) to be provided at 840 Memorial Drive).
| 8. | Brokers Commissions/Indemnification |

Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any claims for commission arising out the execution and delivery of this agreement and any renewals, extensions or expansions hereof other than the foregoing; LESSOR expressly agreeing that it shall be responsible for any claims made by Meredith & Grew relative to this transaction, based on separate agreement between LESSOR and Meredith & Grew.
| 9. | Assignment/Subletting |
The LESSEE shall have the right to assign the Lease and/or sublet the Leased Premises (in whole or in part) subject to all the terms and conditions of Section 12 of the Original Lease.
| 10. | Integration of Documents; Supremacy |

The Expansion Space shall be delivered to the Lessee upon Substantial Completion (as defined below) of Lessor’s Work (as defined herein below) on the office portion of the Expansion Space (the “Office Expansion Space”) and on the laboratory portion of the Expansion Space (the “Lab Expansion Space”), herein, the “Office Expansion Delivery Date” and the “Lab Expansion Delivery Date” respectively, and also referred to herein collectively as the “Expansion Delivery Dates”. As of the respective Expansion Delivery Dates, the Office Expansion Space and the Lab Expansion Space, respectively, shall be Substantially Complete, vacated by any current tenants and occupants; with Lessor’s Work having been performed in a good and workmanlike manner according to Lessor’s Scope of Work; broom clean. All Lessee’s Rent payments and other Lease obligations relating to the Expansion Space shall commence as of the Expansion Space Office Delivery Date and the Expansion Space Lab Delivery Date, respectively. All terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern the Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Expansion Space as of the respective Expansion Space Delivery Dates.
Lessor’s delivery of the Office Expansion Space and the Lab Expansion Space shall be evidenced in each instance by a written notice of delivery (“Lessor’s Delivery Notice”) given to Lessee on the actual date the respective portion of the Expansion Space is Substantially Complete and provided to Lessee for its occupancy. Lessee shall have five (5) business days to contest delivery if the Expansion Space is not Substantially Complete or it does not conform with the Lessor’s Scope of Work and Lessor’s Work by delivering its notice thereof in writing to Lessor; however, any listed items of a “punchlist” nature shall be agreed to by Lessor and Lessee and shall not be grounds to contest delivery, but nevertheless shall obligate Lessor to complete such punchlist items at the earliest practicable time under the circumstances.
The following conditions to the delivery of the Office Expansion Space and the Lab Expansion Space to the Lessee by the Lessor shall be met by the Lessor, at its sole cost and expense, prior to the respective Expansion Delivery Dates. The Lessor shall perform, at its sole cost and expense, such design and construction work as is necessary to deliver the respective portions of the Expansion Space to the Lessee in accord with the “Scope of Landlord’s Work for Additional Premises Only” dated August 13, 2012 attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Exhibit referred to as the “Lessor’s Scope of Work” and the design and construction obligations thereunder being referred to as the “Lessor’s Work”). All components of Lessor’s Work will be completed in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the latest requirements of NFPA, ANSI Standards, ASHRAE Standards, National Electrical Code, Massachusetts State Building Code, and regulations of the City of Cambridge. Lessor shall deliver the Expansion Space with the base Building systems serving the same and with Lessee’s specific mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems as required in Lessor’s Scope of Work (i.e. Exhibit A hereto), in good operating condition and repair, and suitable for their intended uses.

The Building and the Expansion Space as delivered to the Lessee will be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act; NFPA compliant pursuant to the Massachusetts State Building Code; and with code compliant demising walls and common area corridors. Lessor shall provide Lessee with the environmental close-out report prepared by the former tenant for the Expansion Space, and said report shall not disclose any conditions as would materially impair Lessee’s use of the Expansion Space. Subject to the foregoing, Lessor shall not be responsible for any other design or construction work with respect to either the Existing Premises under the Existing Lease, or the Expansion Space.
To the extent Lessee seeks to make any changes to the Lessor’s Scope of Work as set forth on Exhibit A hereto: (i) such changes will be communicated in writing with sufficient specificity for Lessor to price the changes; (ii) Lessor will provide Lessee with pricing as to such changes and any estimated delays, if any, that may result for such changes; and (iii) in the event such changes affect the total cost of the Lessor’s Scope of Work, Lessee shall either reimburse Lessor in advance for any increased costs and expenses, or Lessor shall credit Lessee for any savings against Lessee’s next due payments of Rent hereunder. Upon receiving from Lessor the estimated cost and timing impacts of Lessee’s proposed changes pursuant to subsection (ii) above, Lessee may choose to not move forward with such proposed changes provided it communicates its final intention to the Lessor in writing within ten (10) days of its receipt of Lessor’s cost and timing impacts. Lessee shall be solely responsible for any delays in the completion of Lessor’s Work arising from any such requested changes.
The Lessee shall be solely responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to perform such other specific design and construction work on the Expansion Space as it desires for its use and occupancy (“Lessee’s Work”), upon completion of the Lessor’s Work in the respective office and laboratory portions of the Expansion Space, and delivery of those respective portions the Expansion Space by the Lessor. Lessee shall be provided with access to the Expansion Space commencing upon execution of this Second Lease Extension Agreement, coordinated through the Lessor, for the purpose of performing preliminary work toward the installation of its equipment and wiring, provided such access and preliminary work does not materially interfere with Lessor’s ability to perform and complete its Lessor’s Work, which shall take precedence in all respects. Lessee’s Work and all subsequent Lessee alterations to the Leased Premises that are performed by Lessee on or affecting the fire, life safety and/or sprinkler systems of the building shall be made in such a manner and under such conditions as to pose no adverse impact or interruption to such fire, life safety, and sprinkler systems, and so as not to delay, impair, or jeopardize the legal occupancy of other tenants in the Building as determined by Lessor and municipal fire and building inspection officials.
The Lessor’s Work as to the Office Expansion Space and the Lab Expansion Space, separately, will be deemed “Substantially Complete” as to each: (a) when Lessor’s Work is substantially complete in accordance with Lessor’s Scope of Work as set forth in Exhibit A and the provisions of this Section 3, except for minor punch list items approved by Lessee that will not materially adversely affect Tenant’s normal operations in said Expansion Space; Lessor’s Work therein having been performed in a good and workmanlike manner with all necessary municipal approvals for occupancy.

| 4. | Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent |
Annual Base Rent from the date of execution of this Second Lease Extension Agreement through the Extended Term, shall be as set forth below:
| A. | Annual Base Rent as applied to the Existing Premises |
(i.e. 9,538 rentable square feet of space)
| (i) | Balance of the Current Term As set forth in the Existing Lease |
| (ii) | Extension Commencement Date $ 145,136.57 ($ 36,284.14 / mo.) |
through the Termination Date
| B. | Annual Base Rent as applied to the Expansion Space (i.e. 8,110 rentable square feet of space) |
| (i) | Expansion Space Staggered Delivery Periods—Interim Rent/Per Diem |
Lessor’s estimated delivery of the Office Expansion Space is targeted to October 1, 2012. Lessor’s estimated delivery of the Lab Expansion Space is targeted to December 1, 2012. The first day of the calendar month following the day on which the Office Expansion Delivery Date occurs is referred to herein as the “Expansion Rent Start Date”). A per diem calculation is required to determine interim Rent obligations occurring upon delivery of the respective Office Expansion Space and Lab Expansion Space. Annual Base Rent for the total Expansion Space (office and laboratory) for the first full twelve month period following the Expansion Rent Start Date is $395,362.50 ($32,946.88 on a monthly basis). This computes to $1,083.18 on a per diem basis. The per diem amount allocated to the Office Expansion Space is $496.42, (i.e. 45.83% at 3,717 rentable square feet of a total 8,110 rentable square feet), the “Office Per Diem”. The per diem amount allocated to the Lab Expansion Space is $586.76 (i.e. 54.17% at 4,393 rentable square feet of a total 8,110 rentable square feet), the “Lab Per Diem”.
(x) For the interim period between the Office Expansion Delivery Date and the Expansion Rent Start Date, the Annual Base Rent payment attributable to the Office Expansion Space shall be determined by taking the number of days from the Office Expansion Delivery Date through the Expansion Rent Start Date and multiplying by $496.42. This amount shall be paid to Lessor.
(y) For the interim period between the Lab Expansion Delivery Date and the Expansion Rent Start Date (given the possibility the Expansion Rent Start Date may not have occurred due to delays in delivery of the Office Expansion Space),the Annual Base Rent payment attributable to the Lab Expansion Space shall be determined by taking the number of days from the Lab Expansion Delivery Date through the Expansion Rent Start Date (if applicable) and multiplying by $586.76. This amount (if applicable) shall be paid to Lessor.
5
| (ii) | Annual Base Rent due from the Expansion Rent Start Date through the next twelve (12) consecutive months is: |
$ 395,362.50 ($ 32,946.88 /mo.)*
*[less the Lab Per Diem for each day in such period that the Lab Expansion Space is not delivered]
| (iii) | Annual Base Rent due through the next twelve (12) consecutive months (after (ii) above) is: |
$ 405,500.00 ($ 33,791.60/mo.)
| (iv) | Annual Base Rent due through the next consecutive months (after (iii) above) to the end of the Extended Term is: |
$ variable ($ 34,636.46 / mo.)
In all instances under A and B above, Annual Base Rent shall be payable in the corresponding monthly installments set forth above, due on the first of each month, in advance, and in all other respects shall be subject to the provisions relating to Annual Base Rent as set forth under the Existing Lease.
| C. | Additional Rent. |
In addition to Annual Base Rent, Lessee shall continue to be responsible to pay all Additional Rent (Operating Expenses) under Section 3 of the Existing Lease, and all Additional Rent (Taxes) under Section 4 thereof, as applicable to both the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space, as invoiced by Lessor during the Extended Term. A current statement outlining the Operating Expenses incurred for the Building in 2011 is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
As the concept is used in the Lease to compute Additional Rent, Lessee’s allocable pro rata share (“Allocable Percentage”) shall be as follows:
| (A) | Allocable Percentage for the Existing Premises running through the end of the Term, shall be 7.4 %. |
| (B) | Allocable Percentage for the Expansion Space, starting on the Expansion Space Delivery Dates and running through the end of the Term, shall be 6.29 %. |
To the extent that the Expansion Space Commencement Dates do not fall on the first calendar day of a month, then the first month in which the Expansion Space Commencement Dates occur will have Additional Rent attributable to the Expansion Space prorated on a per diem basis for that month.
6
| D. | Rent and other Costs and Expenses. |
All Annual Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums due as Rent shall be payable and in all other respects shall be governed during the remainder of the Current Term, and for the Extended Term, as contemplated under the Existing Lease, except to the extent modified and supplemented above. All other costs and expenses for utilities and services and attendant to operation of the Total Leased Premises (i.e. as applicable to both the Existing Premises, and to the Expansion Space as of the respective Expansion Space Delivery Dates), shall be borne by the respective parties as set forth in the Existing Lease.
| E. | Security Deposit. |
The Security Deposit currently held by the Lessor shall continue to be held by Lessor during the Extended Term.
| 5. | Permitted Uses |
The Permitted Uses for the Total Leases Premises shall be office, R&D and laboratory use in conformity with all federal, state, municipal and local laws, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental authorities, committees, associations, or other regulatory committees, agencies or governing bodies having jurisdiction over the Total Leased Premises, and in conformity with the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Original Lease (which are hereby restated and affirmed by Lessee).
| 6. | Existing Premises in “AS/IS” Condition—No Defaults |
Lessee hereby acknowledges it is currently in possession of the Existing Premises and accordingly accepts the same from the date of this Second Lease Extension Agreement in its current “AS/IS” condition, without representation or warranty of any kind or nature arising from the extension of the Lease by Lessor and Lessee.
Lessor and Lessee each acknowledge that to the best of each of their respective knowledge, there are no material defaults by either presently existing under the Lease.
| 7. | Brokers |
The parties hereby agree there are no brokerage or other third party fees or costs involved in this transaction and each agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other from and against any claims for brokerage fees, commissions or other such payments arising from this transaction.
| 8. | Parking. |
Lessee shall be granted, at current rates (which may be increased from time to time to reflect market increases), the right (but not the obligation) to park up to twenty seven (27) cars in total in the Building’s on-site indoor parking lot or facility on an unassigned and unreserved basis, in single or tandem spaces or on a valet basis which Lessor in its sole discretion shall designate from time to time. The initial parking rate therefor shall be S225 per month, per car, which monthly rate may be changed by Lessor in its discretion subject to and reflective of periodic
7
market changes. Additionally, Lessee shall be entitled to rights to park additional cars in the Building garage (but subject to availability as determined by Lessor, and only on a valet basis, and then only to the extent Lessor is providing valet service to the Building garage which Lessor shall not be obligated to do), at then current rates as set by Lessor in its discretion. If Lessor cannot accommodate Lessee’s needs for additional parking in the Building garage, then Lessor will assist Lessee in identifying alternative off-site parking, but Lessor shall bear no liability nor shall it be deemed any default under the Lease if such additional Building garage parking or off-site parking do not materialize. All payments for these parking rights shall be considered to be Additional Rent under this Lease. This provision supersedes any contrary provisions of the Existing Lease and the specific numeric rights set forth above supplant the numeric rights otherwise set forth in the Existing Lease.
| 9. | Lessee’s Option to Extend |
Provided Lessee has not defaulted (after applicable notice, grace and cure periods, if any) under the Lease from the date hereof forward more than two (2) times, and further provided no uncured default on the part of Lessee is then existing, Lessee shall have the option to further extend the Term of this Lease as to the Total Leased Premises (i.e. inclusive of the Expansion Space) on the terms and conditions herein, for one additional period of thirty six (36) months (herein, the “Additional Term Extension Period”) at the then current “Market Rent” (including annual escalations thereon for each year of the extended term based on increases in the Consumer Price Index or fixed increases, as the case may be, as determined by then prevailing market forces), but no less than an amount equal to the annualized Rent per rentable square foot of Total Leased Premises space as of the final full month of the last Lease Year hereunder (the “Extension Rent Floor”). Said Additional Term Extension Period shall commence, subject to proper exercise of Lessee’s option hereunder, at the end of the Extended Term (i.e. at the end of March, 2015) and shall terminate on that date which is thirty six (36) consecutive months thereafter (i.e. March 31, 2018). Lessee shall exercise its option by delivering to Lessor its written notice not later than ten (10) full months (but not sooner than twelve (12) full months) prior to the end of the Extended Term. Once delivered, written notice to extend is irrevocable.
“Market Rent” as used herein, shall be that rent charged for comparable research laboratory and office space of similar age and condition in laboratory buildings the mid-Cambridge submarket as of the end of the Extended Term. If, after good faith attempts prior to the expiration of the original Term, the Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on a figure representing Market Rent, then either party, upon written notice to the other, may request appraisal and arbitration of the issue as provided in this section. Within fourteen (14) days of the request for arbitration, each party shall submit to the other the name of one unrelated individual or entity with proven expertise in the leasing of commercial real estate in greater Boston/Cambridge to serve as that party’s appraiser. Each appraiser shall be paid by the party selecting him or it. The two appraisers shall each submit their final reports to the parties within thirty (30) days of their selection making their determination as to Market Rent (subject however, to the Extension Rent Floor). The two appraisers shall meet within the next fourteen (14) days to reconcile their reports and collaboratively determine the Market Rent. They shall each make their determination in writing (subject however, to the Extension Rent Floor), including a statement if such is the case, that they are at an impasse. Such a statement of impasse shall be submitted to the parties along with the Market Rent figure which each appraiser has selected and his reasons and substantiation
8
therefor. The appraisers, in case of an impasse, shall also agree on one unrelated individual or entity with expertise in commercial real estate in greater Boston, who shall evaluate the reports of the two original appraisers and within fourteen (14) days of submission of the issue to him, make his own determination as to a figure representing Market Rent (subject however, to the Extension Rent Floor). The determination of this individual or entity (i.e. arbitrator) absent, fraud, bias or undue prejudice shall be binding upon the parties.
Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent during any Additional Term Extension Period shall be payable in advance, in equal monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month.
Lessee, in addition to the sums payable annually to Lessor as Annual Base Rent, shall pay to Lessor for each year of the Additional Term Extension Period, as Additional Rent, Lessee’s Allocable Percentage (as determined by the approximate total rentable space leased) for Operating Expenses, Real Estate Taxes and utilities as contemplated in Section 4 hereof.
| 10. | Access; Elevators; Dumpsters; Signage |
Lessee shall have 24/7 access to the Total Leased Premises (with regard to the Expansion Space, such access shall be allowed following the applicable Expansion Delivery Dates), the common areas and elevators serving the Total Leases Premises, the freight elevators servicing the Building, the loading docks servicing the Building and the dumpster and/or compactor servicing the Building.
Lessor shall provide, at Lessor’s expense, building standard signage in the Building’s lobby, in any Building directory, and at the main entrance to the Total Leased Premises.
| 11. | Integration of Documents; Supremacy |
This Second Lease Extension Agreement contains the full understanding and agreement between the parties. The parties hereto intend that this Second Lease Extension Agreement operates to amend and modify the Existing Lease, and that those documents shall be interpreted conjunctively; with any express conflict between the two to be resolved in favor of the stated terms of this Second Lease Extension Agreement. Except as modified hereby, all other terms and conditions of the Existing Lease shall remain unchanged and enforceable in a manner consistent with this Second Lease Extension Agreement. Defined terms used in this Second Lease Extension Agreement that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Existing Lease.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any provisions deemed unenforceable shall be severable, and the remainder of this Second Lease Extension Agreement and the Existing Lease shall be enforceable in accordance with their terms.
