8. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
A. Subject to the rights of existing tenants of the Building (including, without limitation, , LLC) and for the benefit of EPIRUS Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., only, Tenant shall have a right of first offer (the Right of First Offer) on the Additional Space (as hereinafter defined) during the Term (the Offer Period) on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Before leasing such space to any third party (other than existing tenants within the Additional Space) during the Offer Period, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the anticipated availability during the Offer Period of the eighth (8th) floor space which is contiguous to the Premises, containing 4,225 rentable square feet of space, as shown on Exhibit D attached hereto and incorporated herein (the Additional Space), which notice (an Offer Notice) shall constitute an offer to Tenant to lease all of the Additional Space so offered pursuant to the terms hereof. (Nothing in the foregoing shall require Landlord to have a letter of intent or otherwise be in agreement for the applicable Additional Space before providing a valid Offer Notice to Tenant.) Any Offer Notice shall identify the space available and the rental rate and other terms and conditions (collectively, the Terms) under which Landlord intends to offer such space to third parties for a five (5) year term. Tenant may exercise its Right of First Offer by notifying Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of an Offer Notice of Tenants election to lease the entire Additional Space so offered. If Tenant elects to lease the Additional Space offered within the period provided, the lease of the Additional Space shall commence thirty (30) days after Tenants exercise of such election. The lease of the Additional Space shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, except that the Term thereof shall be coterminous with the Term under the Lease and shall be for no less than a twenty four (24) month term (a Minimum Term). The Annual Fixed Rent for the Additional Space (and for the original Premises to the extent leased for any period beyond the initial Term) shall be the rental rate set forth in Landlords Offer Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Offer Period shall not include any period of time during which the remaining Term under the Lease is less than the Minimum Term.
B. Upon determination of the Annual Fixed Rent for the Additional Space pursuant to the foregoing, the parties agree to execute an amendment to the Lease acknowledging the same and setting forth the new Term for the Premises and the Additional Premises. Subject to the terms of the Lease regarding construction on the Premises and if the Additional Space is then vacant, Tenant may enter the Additional Space during the thirty (30) day period following Tenants election to lease the Additional Space for the purpose of making tenant improvements to the Additional Space, such use to be at no rental cost to Tenant; provided however that if Tenant occupies the Additional Space for its intended purpose, the commencement date for the term for such Additional Space shall be deemed instead to be the occupancy date. If Tenant fails to elect timely to lease pursuant to any Offer of Additional Space, Landlord shall be entitled at any time thereafter and from time to time to lease the Additional Space to any party without need of notifying Tenant or reoffering the Additional Space to Tenant and the Right of First Offer as to all other Additional Premises shall also lapse and be of no further force or effect whatsoever.
C. In order for Tenants exercise of the Right of First Offer to be effective (or for Landlords duty to provide an Offer Notice to exist) at the time of Landlords Offer Notice and at the time the term for the Additional Space is to commence, this Lease must be in full force and effect, Tenant shall not be in default at either time of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions
5
of the Lease beyond any applicable cure period, and the remaining Term under the Lease shall not be for less than a Minimum Term; and provided further that Tenant, a Permitted Tenant Successor and/or Tenant Affiliates must then be occupying one hundred (100%) percent of the Premises and has not sublet any of the Premises or assigned this Lease.
9. LANDLORDS TERMINATION RIGHT.
In the event that , L.L.C., an existing tenant in the Building, elects to lease the Second Amendment Additional Premises, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease solely with respect to the Second Amendment Additional Premises (Landlords Termination Option), such termination to be effective as of September 30, 2018 (such date, if so exercised, the Early Termination Date). In order to exercise its right to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall give notice (Landlords Termination Notice) thereof to Tenant, on or before August 31, 2018, whereupon the Lease shall terminate, solely with respect to the Second Amendment Additional Premises, on the Early Termination Date as fully and completely as if such date were the date set forth above for the termination of this Lease.
10. NO CLAIMS.
In consideration of the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, Tenant has no claims, defenses, rights of set-off or counterclaims against Landlord with respect to the Lease or the Premises, and has no knowledge of any default by Landlord under the Lease.
11. CAPITALIZED TERMS/RECITALS/EXHIBITS.
Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without being defined herein shall have the respective meaning ascribed to them in the Lease. The recitals at the introduction to this Amendment and the attachments hereto are hereby incorporated by reference.
12. RATIFICATION.
As hereby amended, the Lease is ratified, confirmed and approved in all respects.

2. SECOND AMENDMENT ADDITIONAL PREMISES COMMENCEMENT DATE.
(A) The Second Amendment Additional Premises Commencement Date shall be the earlier of: (i) the Substantial Completion Date, as defined in Section 2(C) of this Exhibit, or (ii) if the Substantial Completion Date has not occurred but if, with Landlords consent, Tenant takes possession of the whole or any part of the Second Amendment Additional Premises for the Permitted Use, the Second Amendment Additional Premises Commencement Date shall be the date on which Tenant takes such possession. As soon as may be convenient after the Second Amendment Additional Premises Commencement Date has been determined, Landlord and Tenant agree to join with each other in the execution of a written letter memorializing the Second Amendment Additional Premises Commencement Date, the Second Amendment Additional Premises Expiration Date, such letter to be in the same form attached to the Lease as Exhibit E.
