In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, accepted and agreed to, the parties agree as follows:

1. License. Licensor grants to Licensee a non-transferable, non-assignable license (the “License”) to use approximately 9,311 rentable square feet of Suite J located on the second floor of the Building and more specifically detailed in the shaded portion of the floor plan (excepting areas labeled “corridor”) attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2 (the “Licensed Premises”) solely to: (i) conduct the business of Licensee; (ii) collaborate with Licensor’s staff and other licensees pursuant to this Agreement; and (iii) collaborate with representatives of other organizations and companies that have agreements with Licensor. The License shall only grant Licensee, and no more than forty-two (42) of Licensee’s members, employees or agents, access to the Licensed Premises. The License shall not include access to any additional office or laboratory space. Licensor retains all of the rights and privileges as the property owner that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.

(30) days written notice to Licensee. Upon termination of this Agreement, the License shall expire and Licensee shall immediately vacate the Licensed Premises. Under no circumstances shall Licensor or Sublandlord be liable for any alleged, purported, consequential or direct damages resulting from Licensor or Sublandlord terminating this Agreement.

Licensee shall have the right to terminate this License and vacate the Licensed Premises prior to the expiration of Term upon no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Licensor, provided however, Licensee shall remain liable to continue to pay the License Fee and the monthly fee for the Licensee’s Parking Spaces as and when required under this Agreement for the remainder of the Term; provided, however, if Licensor relets the Licensed Premises to a third party for any portion of the remainder of the Term, Licensee shall be credited with the lesser of (i) the license fees and parking fees paid by such party corresponding to the remainder of the Term, or (ii) fifty percent (50%) of License Fee and the monthly fee for the Licensee’s Parking Spaces for the remainder of the Term.

3. License Fee. Licensee shall pay a license fee equal to $155,183 per month (“License Fee”), which shall be paid in advance on or before the first day of each and every month during the Term of this Agreement. Licensee shall pay each License Fee payment by electronic payment to Licensor.

Licensee shall pay, immediately upon executing this Agreement, an amount equal to the License Fee for the first month of the Term of this Agreement ($155,183) and the License Fee for the last month of the Term of this Agreement ($155,183). As such, Licensee shall pay a total of $310,366 on December 1, 2015.

The License Fee shall cover and include the cost of the services set forth in the Service Agreement and, unless the scope of services requested by Licensee exceed those set forth in the Service Agreement, Licensee shall not be assessed any additional fees for services contained in the Service Agreement. The Service Agreement shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement and if there is any conflict between the convents and representations contained in this Agreement and the Service Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail and be binding upon Licensor and Licensee. Furthermore, and as part of the License Fee, Licensee shall receive for the benefit of the Licensed Premises the services provided by Master Landlord under the terms of the Master Lease and the “Sublandlord Services” provided by Sublandlord pursuant to the Sublease.

5. Common Areas. Licensee hereby acknowledges and agrees that other licensees of Licensor are occupying or may in the future occupy other portions of the Building.

Premises or this Agreement shall be subject to such additional rules and procedures reasonably promulgated by Licensor and/or Sublandlord and delivered to Licensee from time to time. Licensee’s compliance with such rules and procedures constitutes a material inducement to Licensor’s willingness to enter into this Agreement; any violation thereof shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

6. Parking. During the Term of this Agreement, Licensee shall have a non-exclusive, irrevocable license to use nine (9) unreserved parking spaces located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx (“Licensee’s Parking Spaces”).

Licensee shall bear the cost of any approved modifications to the Licensed Premises. All articles of personal property, and all business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, cabinet work, furniture and movable partitions, if any, owned or installed by Licensee at its expense in the Licensed Premises will be and remain the property of Licensee and may be removed by Licensee at any time, provided that Licensee, at its expense, shall repair any damage to the Licensed Premises caused by such removal or by the original installation. Licensee shall remove all of Licensee’s personal property at the expiration of the Term of this Agreement or sooner termination of this Agreement, in which event the removal shall be done at Licensee’s expense and Licensee, prior to the end of the Term of this Agreement or upon sooner termination of this Agreement, shall repair any damage to the Licensed Premises caused by its removal.

11. Insurance. Licensee Commercial General, Automobile, Employers and Umbrella Liability Insurance shall be written for not less than limits of liability as follows:

Best’s Insurance Guide” current edition. Licensee shall obtain for and provide to Licensor certificates of insurance evidencing all coverages required herein. Licensor reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies including any endorsements. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification or cancellation except after twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to Licensor from

Licensee (except in the event of non-payment of premium, in which case ten (10) days written notice shall be given). All such policies (except workers compensation and umbrella liability insurance) shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of the coverage that Licensor may carry.

Licensee agrees that if Licensee does not take out and maintain such insurance, Licensor may (but shall not be required to) procure such insurance on Licensee’s behalf and at its cost to be paid by Licensee or reimbursed to Licensor promptly after demand therefor, as applicable. Commercial General Liability, Commercial Automobile Liability, Umbrella Liability insurance as required above shall name Licensor, Sublandlord, Master Landlord, and BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., and their respective officers, employees, agents, general partners, members, subsidiaries, affiliates and Lenders (“Licensor Parties”) as additional insureds as respects liability arising from work or operations performed by or on behalf of Licensee, Licensee’s use or occupancy of the Licensed Premises, and ownership, maintenance or use of vehicles by or on behalf of Licensee.

(b) In each instance where insurance is to name Licensor Parties as additional insureds, Licensee shall, upon Licensor’s written request, also designate and furnish certificates evidencing such Licensor Parties as additional insureds to any lender of any Licensor Party holding a security interest in the Building or the underlying property,.

(c) Licensee assumes the risk of damage to any fixtures, goods, inventory, merchandise, equipment and leasehold improvements owned, used or made by Licensee, and Licensor shall not be liable for injury to Licensee’s business or any loss of income therefrom, relative to such damage. Licensee shall, at Licensee’s sole cost and expense, carry such insurance as Licensee desires for Licensee’s protection with respect to personal property of Licensee or business interruption.

(d) Licensee and its insurers hereby waive any and all rights of recovery or subrogation against Licensor Parties with respect to any loss, damage, claims, suits or demands, howsoever caused, that are covered, or should have been covered, by valid and collectible insurance, including any deductibles or self-insurance maintained thereunder. If necessary, Licensee agrees to endorse the required insurance policies to permit waivers of subrogation as required hereunder and hold harmless and indemnify Licensor Parties for any loss or expense incurred as a result of a failure to obtain such waivers of subrogation from insurers. Such waivers shall continue so long as Licensee’s insurers so permit. Any termination of such a waiver shall be by written notice to Licensor, containing a description of the circumstances hereinafter set forth in this Section. Licensee, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required or permitted hereunder, shall give notice to its insurance earners that the foregoing waiver of subrogation is contained in herein. If such policies shall not be obtainable with such waiver or shall be so obtainable only at a premium over that chargeable without such waiver, then Licensee shall notify Licensor of such conditions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Section, Licensor Parties shall not be released from liability to Licensee for any physical injury to any natural person caused by Licensor Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct to the extent such injury is not covered by insurance either carried by Licensee (or such person) or required by this Agreement to be carried by Licensee; provided that Licensor Parties shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for any exemplary, punitive, consequential or indirect damages (or for any interruption of or loss to business). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if Licensee or anyone having claims through or on behalf of Licensee is awarded a judgment or other remedy against Licensor Parties, the recourse for satisfaction of the same shall be limited to execution against Licensor’s interest in the Sublease.

THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (this “Sublease”) is entered as of the Effective Date by and between Sublandlord and Subtenant on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions:

A. Sublandlord presently leases the Sublease Premises pursuant to the Master Lease.

B. Sublandlord desires to sublease the Sublease Premises to Subtenant and Subtenant desires to sublease the Sublease Premises from Sublandlord on all of the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

C. All of the terms and definitions in the Defined Terms section are incorporated herein by this reference, and any capitalized terms not defined in the Defined Terms or elsewhere in this Sublease shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Master Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the Sublease Premises subleased herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Sublease Premises and Term.

(a) Demise. Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord, the Sublease Premises, for the Sublease Term subject to the terms, covenants and conditions set forth herein. For the Phase I Premises, the Sublease Term shall commence on the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days following the Phase I Effective Date, or (b) the date Subtenant first occupies any part of the Sublease Premises for any of the Permitted Uses (the “Phase I Commencement Date”) and for the Phase II Premises shall commence on the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days following the Phase II Effective Date, or (ii) the date Subtenant first occupies any part of the Phase II Premises for any of the Permitted Uses (hereinafter referred to in each instance as, the “Phase II Commencement Date” and reference to “Commencement Date” shall mean either or both of the above referenced Phase I Commencement Date and Phase II Commencement Date as applicable by the context). Sublandlord shall ensure that the Sublease Premises are substantially free and clear of any and all of Sublandlord’s agents, contractors and/or subcontractors by or before the Commencement Date.”). The Sublease Term shall end on the Expiration Date, or on such earlier date upon which said term may expire or be cancelled or terminated pursuant to any of the provisions of this Sublease. Following the Commencement Date as to either or each Phase, the parties shall, at either party’s request, execute a Commencement Date Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G to become a part hereof setting forth the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date. The parties’ failure to execute such Commencement Date Agreement shall in no way affect Subtenant’s obligation to perform under this Sublease. As used herein, “Sublease Premises” shall include such appurtenant rights to use the common areas of the Building in common with the other tenants and occupants thereof as granted to Sublandlord under the Master Lease to the extent reasonably required by Subtenant for the use of and access to the Sublease Premises as contemplated hereby, and the existing interior improvements, equipment and systems of the Sublease Premises as of the Commencement Date except for the Sublandlord Property to be purchased by Subtenant pursuant to Section 1(h) hereof. If Sublandlord fails to deliver possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant on or before the Commencement Date as to either Phase, this Sublease

shall not be void or voidable nor shall Sublandlord be liable to Subtenant for any resulting loss or damage; provided, however, that Subtenant shall not be liable for any Rent (as hereinafter defined) until delivery of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant. If Sublandlord fails to deliver possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant on or before the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date shall be extended by the same number of calendar days that Sublandlord fails to deliver possession of the Sublease Premises by the Commencement Date. Subtenant covenants that, as a material part of the consideration for this Sublease, it shall keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed, and that this Sublease is made upon the condition of such performance. Subtenant assumes and agrees to perform Sublandlord’s obligations under the Master Lease during the Sublease Term to the extent such obligations are applicable to the Sublease Premises and are not either excluded from incorporation herein or specifically contradicted or modified herein.

The “recapture” and “excess subrent” provisions of this Section 5 (a) shall not apply to any Transfer to an Affiliate of Tenant nor with respect to any licenses to Permitted Licensees. Any Transfer in violation of the terms of this Sublease shall be void and shall be of no force or effect. Any consent by Sublandlord or Master Landlord to any Transfer shall apply only to the specific Transfer thereby approved. Such consent shall not be construed as a waiver of Subtenant’s obligations to obtain Sublandlord’s and Master Landlord’s consent to any subsequent Transfer or as a modification or limitation of Sublandlord’s rights hereunder. Subtenant may license use and occupancy of portions of the Sublease Premises to operating life science companies for research purposes that comply with Subtenant’s general underwriting policies on a Real Estate License Agreement materially the same form as attached hereto as Exhibit I (each, a “Permitted Licensee”). Subtenant shall remain responsible under this Sublease for all obligations of the Subtenant irrespective of use and occupancy of any portion of the Sublease Premises by one or more Permitted Licensees.

(b) Assumption by Transferees. Each and every assignee, transferee or successor in interest of Subtenant, and their respective assignees, transferees or successors in interest, shall immediately be and remain liable jointly and severally with Subtenant and with each other for the payment of the Rent payable under this Sublease and for the performance of all covenants, agreements, terms and provisions of this Sublease on the part of Subtenant to be performed to the end of the Sublease Term.

(c) Assignment of Subrents. In the event of any Transfer, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Sublease, Sublandlord may, after an Event of Default by Subtenant, and for so long as such Event of Default is uncured, collect Rent from the assignee of the Sublease, or the subtenant or occupant or the Sublease Premises and apply the net amount collected to the curing of any Event of Default hereunder in any order or priority Sublandlord may elect, any unexpended balance to be applied by Sublandlord against any Rent or other obligations subsequently becoming due, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection of Rent shall be deemed a waiver of the covenants in this Section 5, nor shall it be deemed acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as a subtenant, or a release of Subtenant from the full performance by Subtenant of all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Sublease.

(d) Voluntary Termination of Master Lease. In the event that Master Landlord and Sublandlord negotiate a voluntary termination of the Master Lease, then as long as the Master Landlord and Subtenant have entered into a direct lease of the Sublease Premises, this Sublease shall terminate concurrently therewith and Sublandlord shall be relieved of its obligations, and released of all liability, accruing under this Sublease from and after the effective date of such lease, whereupon Subtenant shall attorn directly to the Master Landlord.

(e) Change of Control Deemed a Transfer. For the purposes of this Sublease, the term “Transfer” shall include (i) Subtenant entering into any management agreement or any agreement in the nature thereof transferring control or any substantial percentage of the profits and losses from the business operations of the Subtenant to a person or entity other than the Subtenant, or otherwise having substantially the same effect; or (ii) the sale or transfer (which term shall include, without limitation, the exchange, issuance and redemption) of fifty percent (50%) or more, or such smaller percentage as would result in a change in the voting control, of the voting stock, membership interests or partnership interests, as applicable, of Subtenant, or of any immediate or remote controlling entity of Subtenant, or of any guarantor of the obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease.

6. Alterations; Tenant Improvement Reimbursement. In limitation of the rights set forth in Section 5.1.5 of the Master Lease Subtenant shall not make or suffer to be made any alterations, additions or improvements (collectively “Alterations”) in, on, or to the Sublease Premises without the prior written consent of Sublandlord (and Master Landlord, if so required by the Master Lease), which may be withheld by Sublandlord in its sole discretion except Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent for minor, non-structural modifications to the Sublease Premises that do not exceed $20,000 in the aggregate, or which require consent of the Master Landlord under the Master Lease, and which do not affect (i) the exterior of the Building or (ii) any Building systems, including plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, heating, security and life safety. Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord (and Master Landlord, if applicable) not less than five (5) business days in advance of commencing construction of the Alterations so that Sublandlord and Master Landlord may post appropriate notices of non-responsibility. The term “Alterations” includes any alterations, additions or improvements made by Subtenant to comply with the ADA as required by Section 1(d) above. All Alterations must be constructed (a) in a good and xxxxxxx-like manner using materials of a quality comparable to those on the Sublease Premises, (b) in conformance with all Laws, (c) only after all necessary permits, licenses and approvals have been obtained by Subtenant from appropriate governmental agencies, and (d) shall be diligently prosecuted to completion. Any contractor or other person making any Alterations must first be approved in writing by Sublandlord (and Master Landlord, if required by the Master Lease) and Sublandlord may require that all work be performed under Sublandlord’s supervision. Except where precluded by terms of the Master Lease and Master Landlord’s rights in and to any Alterations to any of the Sublease Premises, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall, upon demand by Sublandlord, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, promptly remove any Alterations made or paid for by Subtenant and repair and restore the Sublease Premises to their original condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall not be required to remove any Alterations made or paid for by Subtenant unless Sublandlord expressly requires such removal in its original consent to the Alterations.

Subtenant will keep the Sublease Premises and the Building free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Subtenant. If a lien is filed, Subtenant will discharge the lien or post a bond within ten (10) days after receiving notice thereof. Sublandlord has the right to post and keep posted on the Sublease Premises any notices that may be provided by law or which Sublandlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Sublandlord, the Sublease Premises and the Building from such liens. Subtenant shall promptly reimburse to Sublandlord as additional rent hereunder, any fees or charges imposed on

Sublandlord under the Master Lease by virtue of Subtenant’s proposal or performance of any Alterations.

7. Indemnity.

(a) Subtenant Indemnity. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel acceptable to Sublandlord and Master Landlord in their sole discretion), protect and hold Sublandlord and Master Landlord and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees, contractors, assigns and mortgagees harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (i) the use or occupancy of the Sublease Premises by Subtenant or its Agents or anyone claiming by, through or under Subtenant; (ii) the failure by Subtenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Subtenant to comply with any term, condition, or covenant of this Sublease or the Master Lease incorporated herein, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s obligation to surrender the Sublease Premises in the condition herein required; (iii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant, its Agents or anyone claiming by, through or under Subtenant; (iv) the existence of Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) on, under or about the Sublease Premises to the extent caused, stored, released, discharged or introduced by Subtenant or its Agents; (v) the death of or injury to any person or damage to any property in the Sublease Premises; or (vi) the death of or injury to any person or damage to any property on or about the Master Premises to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Subtenant or its Agents.

(b) Sublandlord Indemnity. Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend (by counsel acceptable to Subtenant), protect and hold Subtenant and its assigns harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (i) the existence of Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) on, under or about the Sublease Premises to the extent introduced upon the Sublease Premises by Sublandlord, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, subtenants or invitees prior to the Commencement Date; or (ii) the death of or injury to any person or damage to any property occurring outside the Sublease Premises to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, subtenants or invitees (other than Subtenant).

(c) In the event that an indemnified party’s negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct contributed to cause the injury or damage for which a claim of indemnity is asserted against an indemnifying party hereunder, the damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be allocated or reallocated, as the case may be, between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party in such proportion as appropriately reflects the relative fault of the two parties, and the liability of the indemnifying party shall be proportionally reduced. The foregoing indemnification obligations are conditioned on the indemnified party promptly notifying the indemnifying party in writing after any of the indemnified parties receives notice of a claim or loss for which indemnification is or may be sought under this Lease. Failure to provide such notice will relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnity obligations to the extent that such failure prejudices the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party will have the right to control, in a manner not adverse to the indemnified parties, the defense and settlement of any claims. The indemnified parties may employ counsel,

at their own expense, with respect to any such claim (provided that if counsel is employed due to a conflict of interest or because the indemnifying party does not assume control of the defense, the indemnifying party will bear such expense). The indemnifying party will not admit liability or enter into any settlement of a claim that adversely affects the indemnified parties’ rights or interests without the indemnified parties’ prior written approval. The indemnifications set forth in this Article 7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or termination.

8. Insurance.

(a) Subtenant Compliance with Insurance Requirements. Subtenant shall not, directly or indirectly, make any use of the Sublease Premises which may be dangerous to person or property or which may jeopardize any insurance coverage or may increase the cost of insurance or require additional insurance coverage. If, by reason of any activity allowed by Subtenant in the Sublease Premises, any insurance coverage is jeopardized or insurance premiums are increased, Sublandlord shall have the option, in its sole discretion, either to terminate this Sublease or to require Subtenant to make immediate payment of such increased insurance premium and upon payment of such premium Subtenant shall not be deemed in default hereunder. Subtenant may not self-insure against any risks required herein to be covered by insurance.

(b) Subtenant’s Use of Consultants and Contractors. In the event Subtenant utilizes the services of consultants and/or contractors at the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall require from them (or provide in its insurance policies) for insurance coverage for all such consultants and contractors with the same minimum insurance requirements detailed below. Sublandlord reserves the right to request from Subtenant copies of such consultants’ and contractors’ certificates (to the extent such persons are not covered under Subtenant’s insurance policies) when deemed necessary.

(c) Policy Requirements. The policies carried by Subtenant as required below shall be (i) shall be written by companies licensed to do business in the state in which the Sublease Premises are located and have a General Policyholder’s rating of at least A:VIII as set forth in the most current issue of Best’s Insurance Guide, (ii) not be invalidated or reduced by the acts or omissions of other insureds, or by any breach, violation or misrepresentation of any warranties, declarations or conditions in such policy, (iii) name Master Landlord, Sublandlord and any other additional insureds required to be named in Sublandlord’s insurance policies under the Master Lease, and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (and all such parties’ respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents) as additional insureds, and (iv) endorsed to stipulate that Subtenant’s insurance shall be primary to and noncontributory with any and all other insurance maintained or otherwise afforded to Sublandlord or Master Landlord, and any other additional insureds required to be named in Sublandlord’s insurance policies under the Master Lease, or their respective their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (and all such parties’ respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents). The insurance policies required herein shall also comply with the standards for insurance coverage set forth in the Master Lease.

(d) Waiver of Subrogation. To the extent permitted by law, and without affecting the coverage provided by insurance to be maintained hereunder, Subtenant and its respective insurers waive all rights of recovery or subrogation against Sublandlord and Master Landlord, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, and insurers, and Sublandlord and its respective insurers waive all rights of recovery or subrogation against Subtenant and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and insurers for (i) damages for injury to or death of persons; (ii) damage to property; (iii) damage to the Sublease Premises or any part thereof; and (iv) claims arising by reason of the foregoing due to hazards covered by insurance, to the extent of proceeds recovered therefrom. This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of each party, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in favor of any insurance carrier. The coverage obtained by Subtenant pursuant to this Sublease shall include, without limitation, a waiver or subrogation by the carrier which conforms to the provisions of this paragraph. If the insurance cannot be obtained without undue expense, the other party may purchase such coverage for the other at its own expense.

(e) Certificates of Insurance. Certificates of insurance for all insurance required hereby shall be furnished by Subtenant to Sublandlord and Master Landlord before the Commencement Date and thereafter at least thirty (30) days prior to each cancellation, non-renewal or material reduction in coverage that causes the insurance to no longer meet the requirements of this Sublease. The insurance certificates required hereby shall provide that the insurance carrier shall endeavor to provide the certificate holders with at least ten (10) days’ notice prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or adverse material change in any policy covered thereby and shall otherwise be acceptable in form and substance to Sublandlord, but any acceptance of insurance certificates by Sublandlord shall not limit or relieve Subtenant of its obligations under this Section 8. If any policy of insurance required to be maintained by Subtenant pursuant to this Sublease is canceled or non-renewed, Subtenant shall promptly replace the policy with a substantially similar policy from an insurer with an A.M. Best’s Insurance Rating of A:VIII or better, and Subtenant will provide evidence of same to Sublandlord.

(f) Subtenant’s Insurance Policies. Subtenant shall, at its own expense, at all times during the Sublease Term provide and maintain in effect those insurance policies and minimum limits of coverage as designated below, and any other insurance required by Section 4.2.2 of the Master Lease or by law of the State in which the Sublease Premises are located.

(i) Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance. Subtenant shall carry Workers’ Compensation insurance as required by any applicable law or regulation and, in accordance with the provisions of all applicable Laws.

Such coverage shall include rental

insurance coverage and business interruption coverage for a period of not less than six (6) months. Master Landlord, Sublandlord and any other additional insureds required to be named in Sublandlord’s insurance policies under the Master Lease, and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (and all such parties’ respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents) shall be included as loss payees on such coverage, as their interests may appear.

(iii) Commercial General Liability Insurance. Subtenant shall carry Commercial General Liability insurance having a single limit of no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence or per claim and $2,000,000 in the annual aggregate. Such insurance shall provide coverage for (a) bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and advertising injury, (b) contractual liability, not only for bodily injury and property damage but also for personal injury and advertising injury, and (c) cross liability. If such insurance is maintained on a claims-made basis, then such insurance shall be maintained for an additional period of three (3) years after termination of this Sublease and any extension thereof.

(iv) Umbrella Liability and/or Excess Liability Insurance. Subtenant shall maintain Umbrella Liability and/or Excess Liability insurance with limits of no less than $2,000,000 per occurrence or per, excess of the limits provided by the required Employer’s Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Automobile Liability insurance. The coverage terms of the Umbrella Liability and/or Excess Liability insurance must be at least as broad as the underlying Employer’s Liability, Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance. The Umbrella Liability and/or Excess Liability insurance shall provide contractual liability coverage. If Subtenant maintains such insurance on a claims-made basis, then Subtenant shall continue to maintain such coverage for a period of three (3) years after termination of this Sublease and any extension thereof.

9. Signs. Subtenant shall not place on any portion of the Sublease Premises any sign, placard, lettering in or on windows, banners, displays or other advertising or communicative material which is visible from the exterior of the Sublease Premises without the prior written approval of Sublandlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and, if required, from Master Landlord in accordance with the Master Lease; provided, however, that subject to compliance with the terms of this Sublease and the Master Lease, Subtenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install suite identification signage in the main lobby of the Building subject to Master Landlord’s sign criteria and Master Landlord’s prior written approval, provided, however, that Subtenant’s Building signage shall not interfere with Sublandlord’s existing Building signage. All such approved signs shall strictly conform to all Laws. Subtenant shall maintain such signs in good condition and repair. If Subtenant fails to remove such signs upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, and repair any damage caused by such removal, Sublandlord may do so at Subtenant’s expense, which expense, together with interest thereon at the rate for late payments set forth in Section 3(g) above shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord upon demand.

10. Hazardous Materials. Subtenant shall strictly comply with Section 5.1.4 of the Master Lease to the extent such provisions relate to the Sublease Premises during the Sublease

Term. Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be fully responsible for the storage and disposal of all Hazardous Materials used in, on or about the Building by the Subtenant or its Agents. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, Subtenant shall have no liability to Sublandlord or responsibility under this Sublease for any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Sublease Premises which were not released, discharged, stored or introduced by Subtenant or its Agents. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” means any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste, including but not limited to any solvents, metals, petroleum, lead-based paint, PCBs, or asbestos, which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority or the United States Government. The term “Hazardous Material” includes, without limitation, any material or substance which is (a) defined as a “hazardous waste,” “extremely hazardous waste,” or “restricted hazards waste” or similar term under the law of the jurisdiction where the property is located or (b) designated as a “hazardous substance” pursuant to Section 311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. § 1317), (c) defined as a “hazardous waste” pursuant to Section 1004 of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq.

(42 U.S.C. § 9601), or (e) Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 21E.

11. Estoppel Certificates. Subtenant will at any time upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior written notice from Sublandlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublandlord a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Sublease is unmodified (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification) and is in full force and effect, the amount of any Security Deposit, and the date to which Rent are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Subtenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Sublandlord hereunder or of Master Landlord under the Master Lease, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iii) any other matters relating to the Sublease or the Sublease Premises as may be reasonably requested by Sublandlord. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser, transferee or encumbrancer of the Sublease Premises or of Sublandlord’s interest in this Sublease.

12. Events of Default. If one or more of the following events (“Event of Default”) occurs, such occurrence constitutes a breach of this Sublease by Subtenant (such events being in addition to, and superseding to the extent inconsistent with, the Events of Default set forth in the Master Lease):

(a) Subtenant fails to pay when due any Rent due hereunder and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after written notice thereof from Sublandlord;

(b) Subtenant fails to comply with any other provision of this Sublease in the manner and within the time required, and such failure continues for twenty-five (25) days after written notice thereof from Sublandlord, provided that if such failure cannot be cured within such twenty-five (25) day period, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred so long as (i) Subtenant commences such cure within such twenty-five (25) day period and diligently pursues such cure to completion, provided so that an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Master Lease) is not deemed to have occurred under the Master Lease;

(c) any other event occurs which involves Subtenant or the Sublease Premises and which would constitute an Event of Default under the Master Lease if it involved Sublandlord or the Master Premises;

(d) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Master Lease which is the result of any act or omission of Subtenant or any person claiming by, through or under Subtenant or any of their respective employees, subtenants, licensees, agents, contractors and invitees (each, a “Subtenant Party”); or

(e) any purported or attempted Transfer of this Sublease or the Sublease Premises in contravention of this Sublease or the Master Lease; or

(f) Subtenant (i) files or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction; (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers of itself or of any substantial part of its property; or (iv) takes action for the purpose of any of the foregoing;

(h) This Sublease or any estate of Subtenant hereunder is levied upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within sixty (60) days.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Sublandlord shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it under this Sublease and/or at law and/or in equity, any and all rights and remedies of Master Landlord set forth in the Master Lease as incorporated herein. All rights and remedies of Sublandlord herein enumerated shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right allowed by law or in equity and said rights and remedies may be exercised and enforced concurrently and whenever and as often as occasion therefor arises. If Subtenant shall have committed an Event of Default, then Sublandlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, without waiving or releasing Subtenant from any obligations hereunder, to cure such Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Sublandlord shall deem necessary, and in exercising any such right, to pay or incur any reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) required in connection therewith which Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord upon, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.

13. Fire, Other Casualty; Eminent Domain. In the event of a fire or other casualty affecting the Building or the Sublease Premises, or of a taking of all or a part of the Building or Sublease Premises under the power of eminent domain: (i) Sublandlord shall not have any .

obligation to repair or restore the Sublease Premises or any Alterations or personal property; (ii) Subtenant shall be entitled only to a proportionate abatement of Rent to the extent Sublandlord receives a corresponding abatement of rent under the Master Lease during the time and to the extent the Sublease Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Sublease and not occupied by Subtenant as a result thereof; (iii) Subtenant shall not, by reason thereof, have a right to terminate this Sublease unless the Master Lease shall be terminated; and (iv) Sublandlord reserves the right to terminate the Master Lease and this Sublease in connection with any right granted to it under the Master Lease whether or not the Sublease Premises is damaged or the subject of a taking. In the event Master Landlord or Sublandlord exercises the right to terminate the Master Lease as the result of any such fire, casualty or taking, (a) Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with a copy of the relevant termination notice and this Sublease shall terminate on the date upon which the Master Lease terminates and (b) Subtenant shall immediately pay to Sublandlord all of Subtenant’s insurance proceeds relating to all Alterations (but not to Subtenant’s personal property).

If the Garage, as defined in the Master Lease, or any part thereof shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such fire, other casualty or taking, or if such fire, other casualty or taking prevents Subtenant’s access to the Garage then to the extent that Sublandlord cannot obtain for Subtenant substitute parking spaces in the Complex or within one half mile of the Building (“Substitute Parking Spaces”), the parking fee (as set forth in Section 1(c)) shall proportionately xxxxx for the period from the date of such damage or from the date when access to the Garage ceases due to such damage to the date when such damage shall have been repaired or such access shall have been restored, as applicable.

14. Waiver of Claims. Subtenant hereby releases and waives any and all claims against Master Landlord and Sublandlord and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees for injury or damage to person, property or business of every kind, nature and description, sustained in or about the Building or the Sublease Premises by Subtenant or anyone claiming under Subtenant, other than by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Master Landlord or Sublandlord and except in any case which would render this release and waiver void under applicable law.

15. Limit of Sublandlord’s Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublandlord, its partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, servants and contractors (collectively, the “Sublandlord Parties”), shall not be liable for any damages or injury to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof sustained by Subtenant or any Subtenant Party, based on, arising out of, or resulting from, any cause whatsoever, including any due to the Building becoming out of repair, or due to the occurrence of any accident or event in or about the Building, or due to any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the building or any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Section, Sublandlord shall not be released from liability to Subtenant for any physical injury to any natural person caused by Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct to the extent such injury is not covered by insurance either carried by Subtenant (or such person) or required by this Sublease to be carried by Subtenant; provided that neither Sublandlord nor any Sublandlord Party shall under any circumstances be liable for any exemplary, punitive, consequential or indirect damages (or for any interruption of or loss to business). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Sublease, if Subtenant or any other

Subtenant Party is awarded a judgment or other remedy against Sublandlord, the recourse for satisfaction of the same shall be limited to execution against Sublandlord’s interest in the Master Lease. No other asset of Sublandlord or any other Sublandlord Party shall be available to satisfy, or be subject to, such judgment or other remedy, nor shall any such person be held to have any personal liability for satisfaction or any claim or judgment.

The “prevailing party” shall be determined based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments or positions taken in the action or proceeding could fairly be said to have prevailed (whether by compromise, settlement, abandonment by other party of its claim or defense, final decision after any appeals, or otherwise) over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues.
