9. First Offer Right. The following new Section 28.0 is hereby added to the Lease:

“28.0 Right of First Offer.

28.1 Subject to the terms hereof and the rights of Compucyte Corporation, its successors, assigns and transferees (“Compucyte”), if during the First Extension Term, all or any portion of the leasable space located in the Building (the “First Offer Space”) shall become “available for leasing” (as said term is hereafter defined), as determined by Lessor and provided that the “Offer Conditions” (as hereafter defined) are then satisfied, Lessor shall first offer (the “Offer”) to lease all of such available portion of the First Offer Space to Lessee for a rent, term of years and other terms and conditions as specified by Lessor in its sole discretion (the right of Lessee to receive such Offer is hereinafter called the “First Offer Right”). If within fifteen (15) days (the “Offer Acceptance Period”) after Lessor provides the Offer to Lessee, Lessee does not unconditionally accept the Offer as to all of such space described in the Offer in writing or if Lessee accepts the Offer as aforesaid but does not execute and deliver a final fully executed lease on substantially the same general form as this Lease, except to the extent of changes to take into account the terms of the Offer (a “First Offer Space Lease”) for such space in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor (but the First Offer Space Lease will not include any extension option, right of first offer, expansion right, free rent, tenant improvement allowance, Lessor’s Work, Lessor Contribution or other tenant inducements except to the extent specifically included in the Offer) within twenty-one (21) days (the “First Offer Space Lease Completion Period”) after Lessor’s delivery of the proposed First Offer Space Lease to Lessee, all of Lessee’s rights in and to any First Offer Space identified in such Offer (as well as any Gap Extension included in such acceptance under Section 28.5 hereof) shall (except to the extent a Second Look Offer Right (as said term is hereinafter defined) may apply as hereinafter expressly set forth) cease and terminate and Lessor shall (except to the extent a Second Look Offer (as said term is hereinafter defined) may apply as hereinafter

 

5


expressly set forth) be free to lease all or any part of such First Offer Space to any party upon such terms and conditions as Lessor may elect in its sole discretion (and any such Gap Extension shall be void); provided, further, however, that (a) if the Lessee does not accept an Offer within the applicable Offer Acceptance Period or if Lessee accepts the Offer within such Offer Acceptance Period but fails to execute and deliver a First Offer Space Lease in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor within the applicable First Offer Space Lease Completion Period and (b) the Offer Conditions remain satisfied, Lessor will not lease the applicable First Offer Space referred to in Lessor’s Offer to a third party during the First Extension Term for an Effective Annual Basic Rent (as said term is hereinafter defined) which is less than ninety (90%) percent of the Effective Annual Basic Rent set forth in the applicable Offer to Lessee without again making an Offer (a “Second Look Offer”) to Lessee for such First Offer Space in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to the making of an Offer and, in such case, all the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 28.0 with respect to First Offer Space shall (except as otherwise set forth below) apply to such Second Look Offer, including, without limitation, the Offer Conditions, the Offer Acceptance Period and the First Offer Space Lease Completion Period (the right of Lessee to receive a second opportunity to Lease the First Offer Space as provided herein is hereinafter called the “Second Look Offer Right”). As used herein, the term “Effective Annual Basic Rent” shall mean the average Basic Rent per annum for the term of years set forth in the Offer taking into account the following (the “Rent Factors”): (a) the stated fixed rent for each applicable period, (b) the third party out of pocket cost of Lessor for all alterations and improvements to be made and paid for by Lessor for the First Offer Space inclusive of any specified dollar allowances to be paid by the Lessor for tenant improvements, moving expenses and plans (and to the extent that tenant improvements to be installed and paid for by Lessor are not subject to a dollar allowance, such cost shall be as estimated by Lessor), (c) the value of all free rent periods. If the real estate taxes, electricity or operating expense escalation provisions of the Offer and third party lease are not approximately equivalent (for example, if one is triple net and the other is a gross lease with only increases above base years being passed on to the Lessee) then such non-equivalence will be taken into consideration in establishing the Effective Annual Base Rent. The average of the Rent Factors will be computed by, in the case of the Offer, using the stated term of years included in such Offer and, in the case of the third party lease, by using the term proposed by Lessor for the third party lease.

If, (a) at a time when the Offer Conditions are not satisfied, Lessor issues or receives a proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or the like (collectively a “Proposal”) to or from a party other than Lessee which culminates in a lease (“Proposal Lease”) at any time thereafter (whether on the same or different terms than those set forth in the Proposal, whether to the proposed tenant named in the Proposal or an affiliate or designee thereof and whether or not the Offer Conditions are satisfied at the time of signing such Proposal Lease) or (b) Lessor enters into a Qualified Lease (as said term is hereinafter defined) with respect to

 

6


all or any part of the First Offer Space, then and in any such case, all of Lessee’s rights, under this Section 28.0 in and to any First Offer Space included in any such Proposal Lease and/or Qualified Lease shall cease and terminate (and such space shall cease to be First Offer Space) and Lessor shall be free to lease all or any part of such First Offer Space to any party upon such terms and conditions as Lessor may elect in its sole discretion free of all rights of Lessee under this Section 28.0. As used herein, the term “Qualified Lease” shall mean any lease which Lessor enters into for any First Offer Space after first complying with the provisions of Section 28.1 or as permitted under any other provision of this Section 28.0 and any lease which Lessor enters into during any period when the Offer Conditions are not satisfied. Any space which is leased to Lessee shall cease to be First Offer Space.

The First Offer Space Lease and this Lease shall be cross defaulted. Time is of the essence with respect to all the provisions of this Section 28.0.

28.2 As used herein the term “Offer Conditions” shall mean that (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred subsequent to the date of this Second Amendment, (b) Lessee’s interest in this Lease shall not have been assigned (exclusive of an assignment permitted under Section 8.0(i) of the Lease), (c) at the time Landlord issues or receives a Proposal not more than 25% of the Rentable Area of the Premises shall be subject to a sublease (exclusive of any subletting permitted under Section 8.0(i) of the Lease), and (d) at least one (1) year shall then remain in the First Extension Term (or if less than one (1) year remains in the First Extension Term, Lessee shall have properly exercised the Extension Option). As used herein, First Offer Space shall be deemed “available for leasing” by Lessor when, as determined by Lessor in its sole discretion, the applicable space is scheduled to become vacant and all lease and other occupancy, expansion and offer rights with respect thereto of Compucyte and its assignees and subtenants have expired. Lessor shall also have the right to elect to treat space available for leasing (and to provide Lessee an Offer with respect thereto) at any time within twelve (12) months prior to the date which Lessor estimates to be the date when such space will, in fact, become available for occupancy by Lessee.

28.3 As used herein, the term “Compucyte Lease” shall mean the Lease dated July 1, 2001 between Lessor and Compucyte (together with all existing and future amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals and replacements thereof and all new leases with Compucyte or any assignee or subtenant of Compucyte or with any assignee or subtenant of Compucyte or other party claiming by through or under Compucyte or any assignee or subtenant of Compucyte. It is expressly understood and agreed that Lessor shall be free to enter into extensions and renewals of the Compucyte Lease, whether or not such extension or renewal options were originally included under the terms of the Compucyte Lease, to amend the Compucyte Lease so as to extend the term thereof or otherwise modify the Compucyte Lease, to enter into new and/or replacement leases with Compucyte, its assignees and/or subtenants and and/or

 

7


any party claiming by, through or under Compucyte or any assignee or subtenant of Compucyte and that Lessor shall be free to permit tenant, subtenant and other occupants under the Compucyte Lease or any sublease thereunder to hold over on a month-to-month basis or otherwise, all upon such terms and conditions as the Lessor may agree to without including the same as First Offer Space or making any Offer hereunder and free of all rights of Lessee under this Section 28.0. In no event shall Lessor ever be obligated to deliver First Offer Space to Lessee prior to the date when the Compucyte Lease and all occupancy rights thereunder and under all subleases related thereto have expired or terminated and the space is actually vacated and surrendered to Lessor.

28.4 All of Lessee’s rights under this Section 28 shall cease and terminate upon (a) any assignment of Lessee’s interest under this Lease (except as permitted under Section 8.0(i) of the Lease) and (b) upon any subletting of more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the Premises (except as permitted under Section 8.0(i) of the Lease).

28.5 Gap Period; Affect upon Existing Premises and Extension Option. If, in its Offer, Lessor specifies an initial term for the applicable First Offer Space which has an expiration date which extends beyond the date of expiration of the First Extension Term (as it may have been extended by the proper exercise of the Extension Option under the Lease) then Lessee will have the right (the “Gap Extension Right”) to include in Lessee’s acceptance of such Offer as part of such acceptance a requirement (a “Gap Extension Requirement”) that the First Extension Term of this Lease be extended (a “Gap Extension”) so as to be coterminous with the applicable initial term of the First Offer Space as set forth in Lessor’s Offer (the period of time in such extension is hereinafter called the “Gap Period”) and, in such case, upon acceptance of the Offer by Lessee with the Gap Extension Requirement included therein, the First Extension Term shall be automatically extended to include the Gap Period as if the Gap Period were originally part of the First Extension Term except that the Basic Rent allocable to the existing Premises (exclusive of the subject First Offer Space) for the Gap Period shall be determined as follows: Within twenty (20) days after Lessor receives Lessee’s acceptance of an Offer in which acceptance Lessee has also exercised a Gap Extension Right, Lessor shall provide to Lessee Lessor’s good faith determination of fair market rent for the existing Premises (i.e. the Premises at the date of this Second Amendment) for the Gap Period (but in no event shall Lessor be required to specify a Basic Rent for the existing Premises for the Gap Period which is less than the Basic Rent payable by Lessee under the Lease for the last Lease Year preceding commencement of such Gap Period). If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on the fair market rent for the existing Premises for the Gap Period within fifteen (15) days after Lessor has provided Lessee its determination of fair market rent, then Lessee may, within ten (10) days after expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, elect either to withdraw its exercise of the Gap Extension Right (but without otherwise affecting its acceptance of the Offer), in which event its rights to the Gap Extension shall terminate, or to request

 

8


that the fair market rent for the existing Premises for the Gap Period be determined by appraisal. If Lessee elects the appraisal option, then the fair market rent for the existing Premises for the Gap Period shall be determined by appraisal in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 of the Lease beginning with the third sentence of the second paragraph of Section 4.2 which third sentence begins with the phrase “If Lessee elects the appraisal option”. In no event shall the Basic Rent for the existing Premises for the Gap Period be less than the Basic Rent payable by Lessee for the last Lease Year preceding commencement of the Gap Period.

Lessee agrees that it shall, upon request of Lessor, promptly execute and deliver to Lessor an amendment to the Lease to reflect the Gap Extension and the Basic Rent for the existing Premises for the Gap Period, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor.”

10. Except as expressly modified by this Second Amendment, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and as further modified by this Second Amendment, is expressly ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto. This Second Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

11. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution thereof by both Lessor and Lessee, regardless of any written or verbal representations of any agent, manager or other employee of Lessor to the contrary. All negotiations, consideration, representations of understandings between Lessor and Lessee have incorporated herein and in the Lease and this Second Amendment expressly supersedes any proposals or other written documents relating hereto. The Lease and this Second Amendment may be modified or altered only by written agreement between Lessor and Lessee and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Lessor shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions hereof.

12. Extension of LC. The LC currently expires on July 31, 2007. Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days of the execution and delivery of this Second Amendment, provide Lessor with an amendment to the LC which extends the expiration date of the LC to July 31, 2012, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor.

13. Authority. Contemporaneously with the signing of this Second Amendment, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors of Lessee authorizing Lessee to enter into this Second Amendment and authorizing the person executing this Second Amendment on behalf of the Lessee to do so.

14. Typographical Errors in Lease. The word “wst” wherever it appears in the Original Lease is hereby corrected to read “cost”. The word “skeet” wherever it appears in the Original Lease is hereby corrected to read “street”. The word “Lessofs” wherever it appears in the Original Lease is hereby corrected to read “Lessor’s”. .

15. Lessee plans to make certain alterations to the Premises. Such alterations are set forth in the plans and specifications described in Schedule 1 attached hereto (collectively the “Plans”). Lessor hereby approves the Plans and, subject to all other terms and provisions of the Lease, consents to the performance of the alterations set forth in the Plans in accordance with the Plans. Approval of the Plans shall not impose upon Lessor any liability or obligation to Lessee for any defects, errors, omissions in such Plans or alterations, nor for any incompleteness of such Plans nor for any failure of such Plans or the alterations shown thereon to fully comply with all Legal Requirements, it being understood and agreed that Lessee shall be responsible to perform and pay for all such alterations at its sole expense in compliance with the Plans, all Legal Requirements and the Lease. Lessee shall not be required to remove any alterations planned for the Premises which are shown on the Plans upon expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that Lessee shall not remove the supplemental HVAC Unit or any related equipment installed on the Building roof by Lessee or Lessee’s predecessors in interest and that upon expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, the same shall automatically become property of the Lessor. Lessee shall be solely responsible for the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of such supplemental HVAC Unit and equipment (and the insuring thereof) at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Lessor hereby approves Siena Construction Corporation as Lessee’s general contractor for the purpose of performing the Alterations shown on the Plans.

16. This Second Amendment shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

17. This Second Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
