* Prorated to reflect a partial year.

For purposes hereof, the “First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date, or (ii) the date upon which the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date would have occurred in the absence of any Tenant Delay, as defined in Exhibit B, after duly accounting for any failure by Landlord to perform its obligations as set forth in Exhibit B within any applicable deadline set forth therein, provided, however, that if the First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date would otherwise occur on or before March 1, 2016, then the First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date hereunder shall be March 1, 2016. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, under the foregoing clause (ii), the First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date may occur prior to the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date, and that Tenant maybe liable for Base Rent respecting the First Expansion Premises prior to its being delivered by Landlord to Tenant hereunder.

Promptly following the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date and within ten (10) days following Landlord’s written request, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver a confirmatory amendment to the Lease or letter agreement prepared by Landlord documenting the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date and the First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date in accordance with the terms of this Amendment. However, the provisions of this Amendment shall be self-operative and no failure by Landlord or Tenant to execute such confirmatory amendment shall have any effect on the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder.

As set forth in the schedule set forth above, Landlord has agreed that, subject to the terms hereof, no Base Rent for the First Expansion Premises (and only the First Expansion Premises) shall be due and payable during the period of time beginning on the First Amendment Effective Date and continuing through the First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date. The Base Rent that would have otherwise been payable during such time is hereinafter referred to as the “Abated Base Rent”. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the value of the Abated Basic Rent is $33.50 per rentable square foot of the First Expansion Premises per annum, and that Landlord’s agreement to provide the Abated Base Rent is conditioned upon no monetary Event of Default occurring at any time during the Term. Tenant agrees that Tenant’s right to the Abated Base Rent shall immediately terminate if (i) a monetary Event of Default occurs at any time during the Term, and (ii) Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession on account of such monetary Event of Default, in either such case (in addition to any other rights or remedies which may be available to Landlord on account thereof) a pro-rated amount of any Abated Base Rent previously credited to Tenant pursuant to this Amendment shall (notwithstanding that Landlord is not obligated to deliver the First Expansion Premises to Tenant until Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional Expansion Premises Work is Substantially Complete) become immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord, such amount to equal the amount of the Abated Base Rent previously credited to Tenant pursuant to this Amendment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full or partial calendar months remaining in the First Expansion Premises Term as of the date the monetary Event of Default occurs and the denominator of which shall be fifty-six (56), being the number of full or partial calendar months between the anticipated First Expansion Premises Commencement Date of March 1, 2016 and the Expiration Date.

6. Condition of the First Expansion Premises; Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work. Tenant shall accept delivery of the First Expansion Premises upon Landlord’s delivery thereof with Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work (as defined herein below) Substantially Complete, and Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any construction or other work therein or to otherwise prepare the First Expansion Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, except Landlord shall, following the First Amendment Effective Date: (a) at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, perform the work described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, other than any work described therein as being the responsibility or obligation of Tenant (“Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work”); and (b) perform certain additional work to the First Expansion Premises to prepare the same for Tenant’s occupancy (the “Landlord’s Additional First

Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work on or before March 1, 2016, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable access to the Premises for such purposes. In the event Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work is not “Substantially Complete” (as hereinafter defined) on or before March 1,2016, Landlord shall have no liability therefor (except as expressly provided in this Amendment), and Tenant shall accept delivery of the First Expansion Premises when the same is delivered by Landlord with Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work Substantially Complete. In the event Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work are not Substantially Complete on or before May 1, 2016, as extended by each day of Tenant Delay (as defined in Exhibit B) and/or Force Majeure (the “Rent Credit Trigger Date”), then Landlord shall issue a credit to Tenant in the amount of $963.79 for each day from and after the Rent Credit Trigger Dale until the date upon which Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work are Substantially Complete, with such credit to be applied towards Tenant’s installment(s) of Base Rent for the First Expansion Premises first due hereunder until fully credited.

For purposes hereof, “Substantially Complete” shall mean Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work are completed in substantial accordance with the Construction Drawings (as defined in Exhibit B hereto) and a certificate of occupancy (or such other governmental approval which lawfully permits Tenant to use the First Expansion Premises for the Permitted Uses) has been issued therefor, except to the extent that such certificate of occupancy or other approval cannot be issued due to incompletion of or defects in any Tenant First Expansion Premises Work, Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work shall be deemed Substantially Complete notwithstanding that certain work items thereof remain incomplete and/or require remedial work, provided that the incompletion of or defects in such items could not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely interfere with either (i)the performance of any Tenant First Expansion Premises Work (as defined in the Work Letter) theretofore approved by Landlord, if any, or (ii) use and occupancy of the First Expansion Premises for the Permitted Uses (subject to completion by Tenant of any Tenant First Expansion Premises Work).

7. Operating Expenses and Taxes. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Existing Lease to the contrary, from and after the First Amendment Effective Date and during the First Expansion Premises Term, Tenant shall continue to pay Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Existing Premises in accordance with all terms and provisions contained in the Existing Lease. In addition to and without in any way limiting such payments, with respect to the First Expansion Premises Tenant shall pay to Landlord, commencing on the First Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date and through the expiration or earlier termination of tire First Expansion Premises Term; (a) Tenant’s First Expansion Premises Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of the amount by which the annual Operating Expenses exceed the Operating Expenses for calendar year 2016; and (b) Tenant’s First Expansion Premises Percentage of any increase in Taxes over the Taxes attributable to fiscal year 2016 (i.e., July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016),

in each case upon all the same terms and provisions applicable to Tenant’s payment on account of Taxes and Operating Expenses for the Existing Premises, as set forth in the Existing Lease. For purposes hereof: (i) “Tenant’s First Expansion Premises Percentage” shall mean 5.37%; and (ii) a fiscal year shall be deemed to fall within the Term and/or the First Expansion Premises Term (as applicable) if such fiscal year falls within the Term or First Expansion Premises Term in whole or in part, but in the latter case the Taxes for such year shall be pro rated on a per diem basis.

8. Electricity. Notwithstanding the terms and provisions contained in Section 3.3 of the Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to install a sub-meter for measurement of electricity consumption in the First Expansion Premises. In the event that such sub-meter is not installed and at any time during which such sub-meter (if installed) is not operational, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s invoices therefor, such commercially reasonable charge for electricity service to the First Expansion Premises as Landlord may impose from time to time, it being agreed that such charge shall initially be $1,312.63 per month.

2. Approval of Construction Drawings for Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work.

(a) Preparation and Delivery of Draft Construction Drawings. Tenant shall cause Jim Dean, of Dean Associates Architects located at 4 Railroad Ave,, Suite 301, Wakefield, MA 01880 (the “Architect”) to prepare proposed construction drawings and specifications for all improvements to be installed in the First Expansion Premises as part of Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work, and Tenant shall deliver such plans and specifications (in form and substance sufficient for issuance of a building permit and in accordance with reasonable standards of professional care) to Landlord on or before November 1, 2015, time being of the essence, for Landlord’s review and approval. Landlord’s approval thereof may be given or withheld by Landlord in accordance with the same standards applicable to Alterations by Tenant under the Lease, as set forth in Section4 of the Original Lease. Further, Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work shall be deemed “Alterations” under the Lease for purposes of Section 4.4(d) of the Original Lease. Accordingly Landlord reserves the right to require that all or any portion(s) of Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work be removed from the Premises by Tenant (at Tenant’s sole cost and expenses) upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof at the time Landlord approves the Construction Drawings.

(b) Approval Process.

This process shall be repeated until the construction drawings and specifications have been finally approved by Landlord and Tenant. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall sign such Construction Drawings to evidence Tenant’s approval thereof. To the above-described review and approval process, Tenant may submit draft schematic plans and/or construction drawings and specifications for designated portions of the First Expansion Premises or major systems (e.g., HVAC or life-safety systems) to Landlord for its preliminary, non-binding review.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s approval of the Construction Drawings shall be for administrative purposes only, that Tenant (and not Landlord) shall remain fully responsible for compliance of the Construction Drawings with the terms of the Lease and all applicable laws, statutes, codes, rules and regulations, and that Landlord’s approval thereof shall not constitute a representation or warranty of any kind by Landlord,

In addition, “Tenant Delay” shall also include the following, but only to the extent that Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and/or Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work is actually delayed thereby, and then only where Landlord has given Tenant prompt notice thereof (which may be by e-mail or telephonic) describing the delay in reasonable detail and setting forth the actions required of Tenant to eliminate or reduce the applicable delay: (i) any delays by Tenant in submitting revised construction drawings and specifications in accordance with the deadlines set forth above, or any other delay in the performance of Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and/or Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work to the extent caused by Tenant’s failure to timely perform any of its other obligations under this Exhibit B; (ii) any delay or interference in the performance of Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work or Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work to the extent caused by Tenant or anyone employed by or contracted for by Tenant, including, without limitation, contractors, material suppliers and/or utility providers in connection with the Tenant First Expansion Premises Work (as hereinafter defined); (iii) any delay caused by the failure of the Construction Drawings to meet the requirements hereof and/or to otherwise fail to comply with applicable laws or codes; (iv) any delay caused by Tenant’s inclusion in the Construction Drawings of any materials which are inconsistent with the Building and Existing Premises or which are not available to Landlord from reputable local suppliers with no unusual lead times, provided Landlord provides prompt notice to Tenant (which may be telephonic or by e-mail) following Landlord’s obtaining actual knowledge of such unusual time and an opportunity to substitute materials for such unusual lead time materials; (v) any delay caused by Tenant’s or the Architect’s request or instruction to Landlord or any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier for Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises

Work once work thereon has commenced, to the extent such request or instruction is inconsistent with the Construction Drawings; (vi) any Change Order (hereinafter defined) or request for a Change Order made by Tenant, or any change or request by Tenant for change in any Tenant First Expansion Premises Work (hereinafter defined) previously approved by Landlord; and (vii) unless previously approved, each day from and after December 1,2015 until the Construction Drawings arc approved by both Landlord and Tenant.

3. Change Orders. Following approval of the Construction Drawings as provided in Section 2 above, Landlord or Tenant may from time to time prior to completion of Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work initiate changes in Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work (each, a “Change Order”).

Landlord may initiate Change Orders as reasonably required due to construction or other circumstances in the interests of the Building and/or compliance with applicable laws and/or codes, and Tenant’s approval of any such Change Orders proposed by Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

4. Cost of Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work.

(a) Construction Cost/First Amendment Allowance. Soft Costs Cap. The entire cost of Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work, including both hard costs and soft costs thereof of any kind or nature, and including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of the Architect (collectively, the “Construction Cost”), shall be paid by Tenant as provided herein, except Landlord shall, subject to and upon the terms and conditions contained in this Exhibit B, contribute the sum of Three Hundred Eighty Eight Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Seven Dollars ($388,537.00) (the “First Amendment Allowance”) towards the Construction Cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that not more than Seventy Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Seven and 40/100 Dollars ($77,707.40) of the First Amendment Allowance (the “Soft Costs Cap”) may be used to pay costs incurred (i) to prepare or revise the Construction Drawings and/or any and all other plans, drawings specifications and renderings related to Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work, (ii) for other architectural, engineering, design, consulting, project management, oversight, or for other expenses of any kind related to Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work not involving the provision of construction labor or building materials to the Existing Premises, or (iii) for materials and/or labor to install any telecommunications or data cabling (collectively, “Soft Costs”).

Further, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any portion of the First Amendment Allowance for materials which Landlord reasonably deems to be

 

B-3


materially not in accordance with its construction standards for the Building, provided however, materials which are reasonably consistent with the Building and Existing Premises are deemed to be in compliance with construction standards for the Building. Any portion of the First Amendment Allowance not utilized for design or construction of Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work shall accrue to Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit or abatement of its financial obligations under the Lease on account thereof.

(b) Excess Construction Costs/Construction Manager. Any Construction Cost in excess of the First Amendment Allowance and any Soft Costs in excess of the Soft Costs Cap (each an “Excess”) shall be paid solely by Tenant as hereinafter provided. It is further understood and agreed Landlord shall be entitled to engage Holm & Associates or another construction manager reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (the “Construction Manager”) to coordinate and oversee Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work for Landlord’s sole benefit and pay the Construction Manager a fee therefor, which fee shall fee not exceed 5.0% of the Hard Costs. The actual costs of the Construction Manager (subject to the foregoing cap of 5.0% of the Hard Costs) and any actual third party architectural, engineering or other design professional or consultant review cost reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the Construction Drawings or Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work shall be included in the Soft Costs.

In the event Landlord at any time (or from time to time) determines in its sole but reasonable discretion that the Construction Cost is expected to exceed the First Amendment Allowance or that the Construction Cost is otherwise expected to result in any Excess, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the same and provide commercially reasonable back-up documentation therefor to Tenant. In such event, Landlord shall be thereafter entitled to submit invoices respecting the Excess to Tenant on a monthly basis in accordance with the following procedure: (i) not more frequently than on one occasion during each calendar month, Landlord shall be permitted to submit an invoice to Tenant (which Tenant shall be obligated to pay within 30 days following its receipt thereof) for the portion of the Construction Cost incurred by Landlord during the prior calendar month, such portion to equal the amount of the Construction Cost incurred during the prior calendar month by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be Landlord’s then-current reasonably estimated Excess, and the denominator of which shall be Landlord’s then-current reasonable estimate of the overall Construction Cost (and by way of example, if the then-current estimate of the Excess is $100,000 and the then-current estimate of the Construction Cost is estimated to be S488.537, then Tenant would be responsible for 20,47% of the Construction Cost incurred by Landlord during the prior calendar month); and (ii) after the actual Construction Cost has been determined, Landlord shall determine the final Excess amount (such determinations to be made by Landlord in its sole but reasonable discretion, absent manifest error, and Landlord shall provide commercially reasonable back-up documentation therefor to Tenant). In the event such final Excess amount is less than the aggregate amount (if any) which Tenant has previously paid on account of the Excess, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against its Base Rent for the First Expansion Premises in the amount of the difference between Tenant’s estimated Excess payments and the actual Excess for which Tenant is

responsible. In the event such final Excess amount is greater than the aggregate amount Tenant has previously paid on account of the Excess, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the remaining portion of the Excess for which it is responsible within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written invoice therefor.

5. Performance of Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work.

Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize use of union labor in connection with Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work, provided that Landlord determines, in its reasonable discretion, that use of non-union labor would not have any material adverse effect on labor relations at the Building.

Landlord shall cause its contractors to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize, to the extent practicable, interference with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises while performing Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work; however, Tenant acknowledges that the performance of Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work may cause unavoidable interference with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises, and Tenant hereby waives and relinquishes any claims or demands against Landlord on account thereof and agrees that there shall be no abatement of Base Rent or any other financial obligations of Tenant under the Lease on account thereof. Tenant shall cooperate in all reasonable ways and provide Landlord, the Construction Manager and such contractor (together with its subcontractors) reasonable access to the Premises for purposes of constructing Landlord’s First Expansion Premises Work and Landlord’s Additional First Expansion Premises Work.
