The term “Embargoed Person” means any person, entity or government subject to trade restrictions under U.S. law, including but not limited to, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder with the result that the investment in either the Landlord or the Tenant is prohibited by law or either party is in violation of law.

(c) Each of the Landlord and the Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that its inclusion on the List at any time during the Lease Term shall be a material default of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Landlord nor the Tenant shall permit the Premises or any portion thereof to be used or occupied by any person or entity on the List or by any Embargoed Person (on a permanent, temporary or transient basis), and any such use or occupancy of the Premises by any such person or entity shall be a material default of the Lease.”

6.21. Landlord’s Right to Re-measure. Landlord reserves the right to re-measure the Premises during the term of the Lease upon Tenant’s exercise of any extension option or expansion option pursuant to the Lease.

9. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any broker, agent or finder in connection with this Amendment except Jones Lang LaSalle and CB Richard Ellis (the “Brokers”) and/or representatives of Landlord and Tenant. Landlord agrees to pay the commissions due to such brokerage companies pursuant to separate agreements. Each party hereto agrees to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all expenses with respect to any compensation, commissions and charges claimed by any other broker, agent or finder not identified above with respect to this Amendment or the negotiation thereof that is made by reason of any action or agreement by such party.

10. Lease Ratification. This instrument and all of the terms and provisions hereof shall be considered for all purposes to be incorporated into and made part of the Original Lease. The Original Lease and each provision, covenant, condition, obligation, right and power contained therein is hereby ratified and confirmed, and, as modified hereby, shall continue in full force and effect. All references appearing in the Original Lease and in any related instruments shall be amended and read hereafter to be references to the Original Lease as amended by this Amendment. In the event of any inconsistencies or conflicts between other provisions of the Original Lease and the provisions of this Amendment, the provisions hereof shall govern and control. Except as specifically amended in this Amendment, the Lease is and shall remain in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, terminated or assigned.

11. Independence of Covenants. Landlord’s and Tenant’s covenants in the Lease are independent and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that its covenant to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent is independent of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, and that in the event that Tenant shall have a claim against Landlord, Tenant shall not have the right to deduct the amount allegedly owed to Tenant from any Base Rent or Additional Rent due under the Lease, it being understood that Tenant’s sole remedy for recovering upon such claim shall be to bring an independent legal action against Landlord.

12. Authority. Each party represents and warrants to the other that such party and the person signing on its behalf are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Amendment and that this Amendment constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation.

13. Execution. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument. The parties agree that this Amendment may be transmitted between them by facsimile machine or electronic mail and the parties intend that a faxed or emailed Amendment containing either the original and/or copies of the signature of all parties shall constitute a binding Amendment.

14. Governing Law/Binding Effect. The Lease and this Amendment and the rights and obligations of both parties thereunder and hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Landlord and Tenant and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.

15. Effective Date. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises. This Amendment shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery of this Amendment by all of the parties hereto and approval by Landlord’s lender.
