As of the date hereof, the Property is subject to that certain Transportation Demand Management Program dated June 2021 (as amended from time to time, the Existing TDMP).

Execution Version
centers.

Landlord shall have the right, in connection with such contemplated activities, to subject the Property and its appurtenant rights to easements for the construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition, relocation, improvement, operation, repair or maintenance of elements thereof, for access and egress, for parking, for the installation, maintenance, repair, replacement or relocation of utilities serving the Property, and to subject the Property to such other rights, agreements, and covenants for such purposes as Landlord may determine; provided that such easements, rights, agreements, and covenants do not (i) unreasonably interfere with Tenants access to the Premises or change Tenants Permitted Use of the Premises, (ii) materially increase any of Tenants obligations pursuant to this Lease, or (iii) materially reduce any of Tenants express rights pursuant to this Lease. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, however, Landlord shall have no obligation to undertake any action described in this Section 9, and Tenant is not entering into this Amendment in reliance of Landlord making any alteration to the Property or any other action described in this Section 9.
Tenant hereby agrees that the Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any expansion, development, renovation, redevelopment, alteration, improvement, maintenance, demolition, relocation and/or reconfiguration activity, or any other matter set forth in this Section 9, and, in connection with such activity or matter, Landlord may, from time to time, cause the rentable square footage of the Premises, the Building and/or the Property to be remeasured by Landlords architect. Neither Tenant nor any affiliate of Tenant shall take any action, directly or indirectly, to oppose any of the foregoing activities by Landlord or its affiliates, provided the foregoing shall not preclude Tenant from asserting a Landlord default under the Lease if Landlord breaches the provisions of the Lease. Landlord and its agents, employees, licensees and contractors shall also have the right to undertake work pursuant to any actions contemplated above; to shore up the foundations and/or walls of the Building (or any other structures within the Property); to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around, within or adjacent to the Building (or any other structures within the Property); to close off Common Areas; and to do any other act necessary for the safety of the Building (or any other structures within the Property) or the expeditious completion of such work. Tenant acknowledges that construction noise, vibrations and dust, and alterations of traffic patterns or parking, associated with construction activities are to be expected during the course of such construction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to cancel or terminate this Lease and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages, compensation or reduction of Rent by reason of (i) inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business resulting from any act by Landlord pursuant to this Section 9, or (ii) any changes, expansion, renovation or reconfiguration of the Property; nor shall Tenant have the right to restrict, inhibit or prohibit any such changes, expansion, renovation or reconfiguration. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with Tenants use of the Premises and access to the Premises under the Lease in undertaking
6
Execution Version
any of the foregoing activities (meaning, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reasonably mitigate the adverse impacts of Landlords construction activities, on the Premises), and the resulting permanent improvements following such activities shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenants use of the Premises or access to the Premises under the Lease.
10. Remeasurement. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is undertaking and has the right to undertake a remeasurement of the Property (and/or portions thereof). Accordingly, upon completion of Landlords remeasurement, which may be performed by Stevenson Systems, Landlord shall calculate the rentable square footage of the Building pursuant to BOMA (as defined on Exhibit C), and calculate the rentable square footage of the other buildings located on the Property pursuant to BOMA Modified (as defined on Exhibit C) or Stevenson Life Science Method, and deliver to Tenant (A) a statement setting forth any changes to (i) the Buildings Share of Property, and (ii) Tenants Share of Operating Expenses, resulting from such remeasurement, and (B) back-up calculations. Landlords statement in clause (A) shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant and constitute an amendment to this Lease unless Tenant timely gives written notice to Landlord as set forth below. Tenant shall execute and return an acknowledgement prepared by Landlord of: (1) the Buildings Share of Property, and/or (2) Tenants Share of Operating Expenses, resulting from the remeasurement within 20 days following Landlords request. Landlords request for such acknowledgement shall contain a notice to Tenant in large bold face type font that Tenants failure to contest the remeasurement within 20 days shall be deemed Tenants unconditional and irrevocable acknowledgement and agreement of the facts contained therein, and if Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of its objections thereto within such 20 day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledged and agreed to the facts contained therein. If there is any disagreement with respect to the facts contained in such acknowledgement of the remeasurement, then Tenant must raise the same by written notice to Landlord within 20 days of receipt of the statement in clause (A) or Tenant will have irrevocably waived the right to object. Tenant may include in such notice any documentation and evidence that Tenant believes will be useful. Landlord will provide a copy of such documentation and evidence to Landlords architect for its consideration and evaluation. Following Landlords timely receipt of the objection notice from Tenant, the parties shall reasonably and in good faith discuss such matters, including without limitation, a discussion of the evidence presented by Tenant for consideration; provided that any dispute not resolved by written agreement of Landlord and Tenant will be resolved by Landlords architect, whose determination shall be conclusive, final, and binding on Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding Landlords remeasurement, Landlord and Tenant agree that the Base Rent, the Tenant Improvement Allowance, the Supplemental Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Lobby Allowance shall be in the amounts set forth in this Amendment and shall not be adjusted based on Landlords remeasurement.
11. Extension Option. Section 5.3 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit F attached to this Amendment.
12. Tenants Remedies/Limitation of Liability. The following shall be added to the Lease as a new Section 28.19:
Tenants Remedies/Limitation of Liability. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). Upon any default by Landlord, Tenant shall give notice by certified mail to any holder of a mortgage covering the Premises and to any landlord of any lease of property in or on which the Premises are located and Tenant shall offer such holder and/or landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Property by power of sale or a judicial action if such should prove necessary to effect a cure; provided Landlord shall have furnished to Tenant in writing the names and addresses of all such persons who are to receive such notices. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlords obligations hereunder.

Execution Version
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any claimed Landlord default hereunder will immediately, materially and adversely affect Tenants ability to conduct its business in the Premises (a Material Landlord Default), then Tenant shall, as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event within 2 business days of obtaining knowledge of such claimed Material Landlord Default, give Landlord written notice of such claim which notice shall specifically state that a Material Landlord Default exists and telephonic notice to Tenants principal contact with Landlord. Landlord shall then have 5 business days to commence cure of such claimed Material Landlord Default and shall diligently prosecute such cure to completion. If such claimed Material Landlord Default is not a default by Landlord hereunder, then Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, as Additional Rent, any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such cure in excess of the costs, if any, that Landlord would otherwise have been liable to pay hereunder. If Landlord fails to commence cure of any claimed Material Landlord Default as provided above, Tenant may commence and prosecute such cure to completion provided that it does not affect any Building systems affecting other tenants, the Building structure or Common Areas, and shall be entitled to recover the costs of such cure (but not any consequential or other damages) from Landlord by way of reimbursement from Landlord with no right to offset against Rent, to the extent of Landlords obligation to cure such claimed Material Landlord Default hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph and the other provisions of this Lease.

Except as set forth below in this Section 7, Landlord shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, all taxes, levies, fees, assessments and governmental charges of any kind, existing as of the First Floor Commencement Date or thereafter enacted (collectively referred to as Taxes), imposed on the Property by any federal, state, regional, municipal, local or other governmental authority or agency, including, without limitation, quasi-public agencies (collectively, Governmental Authority) during the Term, including, without limitation, all Taxes: (i) imposed on or measured by or based, in whole or in part, on rent payable to (or gross receipts received by) Landlord under this Lease and/or from the rental by Landlord of the Property or any portion thereof, or (ii) based on the square footage, assessed value or other measure or evaluation of any kind of the Premises or the Property, or (iii) assessed or imposed by or on the operation or maintenance of any portion of the Premises or the Property, including parking, or (iv) assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from applicable legal requirements, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any Governmental Authority, or (v) imposed as a license or other fee, charge, tax, or assessment on Landlords business or occupation of leasing space in the Property; provided, however, that Taxes shall not include fees, permit fees, inspection fees, or other authorization fees, linkage or other exactions required to be paid to obtain governmental entitlements for the development of redevelopment of the Property or charges to the extent applicable to the development, redevelopment, or installation of off-site infrastructure improvements required for the development or redevelopment of the Property (as opposed to ongoing maintenance or operational fees, charges or expenses associated therewith which may be included as part of Operating Expenses). Landlord may contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens securing Taxes. Taxes shall not include any net income taxes imposed on Landlord except to the extent such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any such Tax is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, any and all Taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises, whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant. If any Taxes on Tenants personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlords property, or if the assessed valuation of the Property is increased by a value attributable to improvements in or alterations to the Premises, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, higher than the base valuation on which Landlord from time-to-time allocates Taxes to all tenants in the Property, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Taxes. Landlords determination of any excess assessed valuation shall be made on a fair and equitable basis and shall be binding and conclusive, absent manifest error. The amount of any such payment by Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord immediately upon demand. Landlord shall allocate Taxes among all buildings, including the Building, in a fair and equitable manner determined by Landlord.

8. OPERATING EXPENSE PAYMENTS.
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate of Operating Expenses for each calendar year during the Term (the Annual Estimate), which may be revised by Landlord from time to time during such calendar year. During each month of the Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of Tenants Share of Operating Expenses of the Annual Estimate, provided that if an Annual Estimate or updated Annual Estimate is delivered less than 30 days prior to the next installment coming due, Tenant may pay such installment at the existing rate, and shall commence paying based on the new rate (together with a retroactive payment of any increase not paid) on the next following payment date. Payments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
The term Operating Expenses means: (A) all costs and expenses of any kind or description whatsoever incurred or accrued each calendar year by Landlord with respect to the Building, including, without duplication, Taxes (as defined in Section 7), capital repairs, improvements and replacements (provided the capital repair, improvement or replacement is either required by Laws or an interpretation thereof first enacted or imposed after the First Floor Commencement Date or intended to reduce Operating Expenses or to satisfy Landlords obligations under the Lease) amortized over the lesser of 10 years and the useful life of such capital items, administrative rent in the amount of 2% of the then applicable Base Rent, and the cost of upgrades to the Building or enhanced services provided at the Building that are intended to encourage social distancing (also referred to as physical distancing), promote and protect health and physical well-being, and/or prevent or limit the spread or transmission of communicable diseases and/or viruses of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, COVID-19 (collectively, Infectious Conditions) (provided capital items shall be amortized as set forth above), and (B) the Buildings Share of Property of all costs and expenses of any kind or description whatsoever incurred or accrued each calendar year by Landlord with respect to the Property (other than those costs and expenses specific to the Building or any other building not containing Amenities), including, without duplication, costs and expenses related to the use, ownership, operation, management, maintenance, and repair (but not the original construction or development) of the Amenities and other Common Areas (including for the avoidance of doubt, payment or reimbursement by Landlord to affiliates of Landlord or third parties for market rent paid by such affiliates or third parties to Landlord for Amenity space and the difference between commercially reasonable market office rent and reduced rent or other concessions or subsidies provided to third parties providing Amenities), Taxes, capital repairs, improvements and replacements (provided the capital repair, improvement or replacement is either required by Laws or an interpretation thereof first enacted or imposed after the First Floor Commencement Date or intended to reduce Operating Expenses or to satisfy Landlords obligations under the Lease) amortized over the lesser of 10 years and the useful life of such capital items, and the cost of upgrades to the Property or enhanced services provided at the Property that are intended to encourage social distancing (also referred to as physical distancing), promote and protect health and physical well-being, and/or prevent or limit the spread or transmission of Infectious Conditions; provided, however, the portion of Tenants Share of Operating Expenses constituting the cost to operate, manage, maintain and repair the Amenities at the Property shall be capped at the Amenity Cap Amount (as defined below) per rentable square foot of the Premises for each calendar year during the Term (and prorated for partial calendar years at the beginning or end of the Term). The Amenity Cap Amount shall be $2.50 per rentable square foot of Premises for the partial calendar year following the First Floor Commencement Date and $2.50 per rentable square foot of Premises for each full calendar year following the First Floor Commencement Date during the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, costs related to the Shuttle Service (as defined in Section 7 of the First Amendment to Lease Agreement) are not costs that are subject to, or count against, the Amenity Cap Amount.

No membership fee will be charged for any fitness facility (or for basic offerings normally included in a membership fee), but Landlord or its affiliates or third parties retained by Landlord may charge a separate fee for additional services, if available, such as personal trainers or wellness clinics.

(xxiii) janitorial services except for Common Areas (including Amenities) and the Premises, if applicable.
Tenants Share of Operating Expenses shall be the percentage set forth in Exhibit 1 of this Lease as Tenants Share of Operating Expenses as reasonably adjusted by Landlord from time to time following changes to or remeasurement of the Premises, the Building or other buildings within the Property occurring from time to time. Any such remeasurement of the Premises or the Building shall be performed by Landlord in accordance with the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings as adopted by the Building Owners and Managers Association International (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2017) (BOMA), and remeasurement of all other buildings within the Property shall be performed by Landlord at Landlords election either in accordance with BOMA, as customarily modified by Landlord for laboratory properties in the Cambridge/Watertown market (BOMA Modified), or in accordance with the Stevenson Life Science Method. Landlord may equitably increase Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Property that includes the Premises or that varies with occupancy or use. Base Rent, Tenants Share of Operating Expenses, and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder are collectively referred to herein as Rent..
Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year (or such longer period as may be reasonably required not to exceed 180 days), Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (an Annual Statement) showing in reasonable detail: (a) the total of actual Operating Expenses and resulting Tenants Share of
[Exhibit C p.3]
Execution Version
Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year, and (b) the total of Tenants payments in respect of Operating Expenses for such year. If the actual Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for such year exceeds Tenants payments of Operating Expenses for such year, the excess shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as Rent within 30 days after delivery of such Annual Statement to Tenant. If, however, Tenants payments of Operating Expenses for such year exceed the actual Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for such year, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant within 30 days after delivery of such Annual Statement, except that after the expiration, or earlier termination of the Term or if Tenant is delinquent in its obligation to pay Rent, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant after deducting all other amounts due to Landlord. Landlords and Tenants obligations to pay any overpayments or deficiencies due pursuant to this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The Annual Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant unless Tenant, within 60 days after Tenants receipt thereof, shall contest any item therein by giving written notice to Landlord, specifying each item contested and the reason therefor. If, during such 60-day period, Tenant reasonably and in good faith questions or contests the accuracy of Landlords statement of Tenants Share of Operating Expenses, or the basis for particular costs or line items included in the Annual Statement or missing or insufficient information, Landlord will provide Tenant with access to Landlords books and records relating to the Operating Expenses and such information as Landlord reasonably determines to be responsive to Tenants questions (the Expense Information). For the avoidance of doubt, if Landlord provides to Tenant a supplement to the Annual Statement (the Supplement), the 60-day period for Tenant to reasonably and in good faith question or contest the accuracy of an item in the Supplement shall commence upon Tenants receipt of the Supplement. If after Tenants review of such Expense Information, Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the amount of Tenants Share of Operating Expenses, then Tenant shall have the right to have a reputable independent public accounting firm selected by Tenant, working pursuant to a fee arrangement other than a contingent fee (at Tenants sole cost and expense) and approved by Landlord (which approval shall be in Landlords sole discretion, except in the event such firm is one of the four largest, or a reputable regional, public accounting firm in the United States, Landlords approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (the Independent Accountant), audit and/or review (the Independent Review) the Expense Information for the year in question. The results of any such Independent Review shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. If the Independent Review shows that the payments actually made by Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses for the calendar year in question exceeded Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year, Landlord shall at Landlords option either (i) credit the excess amount to the next succeeding installments of estimated Operating Expenses or (ii) pay the excess to Tenant within 30 days after delivery of such statement, except that after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or if Tenant is delinquent in its obligation to pay Rent, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant after deducting all other amounts due to Landlord. If the Independent Review shows that Tenants payments with respect to Operating Expenses for such calendar year were less than Tenants Share of Operating Expenses for the calendar year, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after delivery of such statement. If the Independent Review shows that Tenant has overpaid with respect to Operating Expenses by more than 5%, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all costs incurred by Tenant for the Independent Review. Operating Expenses for the calendar years in which Tenants obligation to share therein begins and ends shall be prorated. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if the Building is not at least 95% occupied on average during any year of the Term, those items of Operating Expenses for the Building for such year which vary based upon occupancy level shall be equitably extrapolated, per line item, to equal the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred for such year had the Building been 95% occupied on average during such year; provided Landlord shall in no event be entitled to collect more than Landlords actual Operating Expenses for such year. In addition, if the Property outside of the Building is not at least 95% occupied on average during any year of the Term, those items of Operating Expenses for Common Areas and Amenities outside of the Building for such year which vary based upon occupancy level shall be equitably extrapolated, per line item, to equal the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred for such year had the Property been 95% occupied on average during such year, provided Landlord shall in no event be entitled to collect more than Landlords actual Operating Expenses for such year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time and from time-to-time, the remaining TI Costs under the TI Budget exceed the remaining unexpended TI Allowance (the Excess TI Cost), then Landlord shall only be obligated to fund (to the extent any portion of the TI Allowance remains outstanding) the amount of such payment requisitioned multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the remaining TI Allowance remaining outstanding and the denominator of which is the total remaining TI Costs. To assist with such determination, Tenant will submit an updated TI Budget for Landlords approval with each requisition,

REPLACEMENT SECTION 5.3 OF THE LEASE (EXTENSION OPTION)
5.3 Right to Extend Term. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of this Lease upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Extension Right. Tenant shall have a one-time right (the Extension Right) to extend the term of this Lease for 5 years (an Extension Term) on the same terms and conditions as the Lease (other than with respect to Base Rent, which shall be determined as set forth below, and the Work Letter attached to the First Amendment to Lease Agreement, which shall not be applicable) by giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise the Extension Right at least 12 months prior (but no earlier than 18 months prior) to the initial Termination Date.
(b) Base Rent. Upon the commencement of the Extension Term, Base Rent shall be payable at the Market Rate (as defined below). Base Rent shall thereafter be adjusted on each annual anniversary of the commencement of the Extension Term by a percentage as determined by Landlord and agreed to by Tenant at the time the Market Rate is determined or determined by arbitration as provided below. As used herein, Market Rate shall mean the rate that comparable landlords of comparable office buildings have accepted in current transactions from non-equity (i.e., not being offered equity in the buildings) and nonaffiliated tenants of similar financial strength for space of comparable size, quality (including all tenant improvements, alterations and other improvements (and takes into account whether paid for by landlord or tenant), condition and repair and floor height in Class A office buildings in the Property and in the Watertown, Allston, Brighton and West Cambridge markets for a comparable term, with the determination of the Market Rate to take into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, tenant inducements (and whether available to Tenant), views, available amenities (including, without limitation, the Amenities), age of the Building, age of mechanical systems serving the Premises, parking availability, leasing commissions, and allowances or concessions, if any, and whether available to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Market Rate shall in no event be less than 95% of the Base Rent payable as of the date immediately preceding the commencement of the Extension Term.
If, on or before the date which is 180 days prior to the initial Termination Date, Tenant has not agreed with Landlords determination of the Market Rate and the rent escalations during the Extension Term after negotiating in good faith, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected arbitration as described in Section 5.3(c). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, if Tenant has elected to exercise the Extension Right by delivering notice to Landlord as required in Section 5.3(a), Tenant shall have no right thereafter to rescind or elect not to extend the term of this Lease for the Extension Term.
(c) Arbitration.
(i) Within 10 days of Tenants deemed election to arbitrate Market Rate and escalations, each party shall deliver to the other a proposal containing the Market Rate and escalations that the submitting party believes to be correct (Extension Proposal). If Landlord fails to timely submit an Extension Proposal, Landlords original submission will be used for this purpose. If Tenant fails to timely submit an Extension Proposal, Landlords submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent and escalations for the Extension Term. If both parties submit Extension Proposals, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet within 7 days after delivery of the last Extension Proposal and make a good faith attempt to mutually appoint a single Arbitrator (defined below) to determine the Market Rate and escalations. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Arbitrator, then each shall, by written notice delivered to the other within 10 days after the meeting, select an Arbitrator. If either party fails to timely give notice of its selection for an Arbitrator, the other partys submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent for the Extension Term. The two (2) Arbitrators so appointed shall, within 5 business days after their appointment, appoint a third Arbitrator. If the two (2) Arbitrators so selected cannot agree on the selection of the third Arbitrator within the time above specified, then either party, on behalf of both parties, may request such appointment of such third Arbitrator by application to any state court of general jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located, upon 10 days prior written notice to the other party of such intent.
[Exhibit F p.1]
Execution Version
(ii) The decision of the Arbitrator(s) shall be made within 30 days after the appointment of a single Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator, as applicable. The decision of the single Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. The average of the two closest Arbitrators in a three Arbitrator panel shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of such party and the fees and expenses of the third Arbitrator, or single Arbitrator, as applicable, shall be borne equally by both parties. If the Market Rate and escalations are not determined by the first day of the Extension Term, then Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent in an amount equal to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the Extension Term and increased by the Rent Adjustment Percentage until such determination is made. After the determination of the Market Rate and escalations, the parties shall make any necessary adjustments to such payments made by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall then execute an amendment recognizing the Market Rate and escalations for the Extension Term.
(iii) An Arbitrator shall be any person appointed by or on behalf of either party or appointed pursuant to the provisions hereof and: (i) shall be (A) a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than 10 years of experience in the appraisal of improved office real estate in Greater Boston, or (B) a licensed commercial real estate broker with not less than 15 years experience representing landlords and/or tenants in the leasing of office space in Greater Boston, (ii) devoting substantially all of their time to professional appraisal or brokerage work, as applicable, at the time of appointment and (iii) be in all respects impartial and disinterested.

The Extension Right is personal to Tenant and any assignee of this Lease (but not a subtenant) under a Permitted Transfer and, other than to any such assignee under a Permitted Tenant Successor resulting from a Permitted Transfer, and, other than to any such assignee under a Permitted Transfer , is not assignable without Landlords consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlords sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenants interest in this Lease.
(e) Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, the Extension Right shall, at Landlords option, not be in effect and Tenant may not exercise the Extension Right:
(i) if Tenant is not then occupying at least 75% of the Premises (such occupation to include entities occupying under Permitted Transfers);
(ii) during any period of time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any provision of this Lease; or
(iii) if an Event of Default has occurred under any provision of this Lease three (3) or more times during the 12-month period immediately prior to the date that Tenant intends to exercise the Extension Right, whether or not the Events of Default are cured.
(f) No Extensions. The period of time within which the Extension Right may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenants inability to exercise the Extension Right.
(g) Termination. The Extension Right shall, at Landlords option, terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenants due and timely exercise of the Extension Right, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the Extension Term, (i) Tenant fails to timely cure any default by Tenant under this Lease; or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred three (3) or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of the Extension Right to the date of the commencement of the Extension Term, whether or not such Events of Default are cured.
