3
is to commence, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, except as modified by

notice no earlier than the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term of
the Lease but no later than the date which is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Term
of this Lease. If Tenant fails to provide such notice, Tenant shall have no further or additional

(b) The Basic Rent in effect at the expiration of the Term of the Lease shall be adjusted to

account the specific provisions of the Lease which will remain constant. Landlord shall advise

Tenants written request therefor. For purposes of this Lease, Tenants written exercise of the
option shall serve as the written request therefor. In no event shall the new Basic Rent be less

(c) This option is not transferable; the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that they intend
that the aforesaid option to renew this Lease shall be personal to Tenant as set forth above and
that in no event will any assignee or sublessee have any rights to exercise the aforesaid option to
renew except for an affiliate of Tenant.
12. Right of First Refusal to Lease. All previous rights of first offer and other
expansion rights provided for in the Lease are hereby deleted. In lieu thereof, provided Tenant is
not then in default under the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to lease, after expiration of the
current lease thereof, (i) approximately 1,172 rentable square feet on the 4th floor of
the Building as shown on Exhibit C, and (ii) approximately 1,474 rentable square feet on
the 4th floor of the Building as shown on Exhibit C (each, an Expansion Space)
at such time as Landlord receives an offer from a third party to lease an Expansion Space which
Landlord is prepared to accept (the Offer). In such a case, Landlord shall give written notice
to Tenant of the Offer, in all its particulars and Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) business
days in which to exercise Tenants right to lease the Expansion Space, failing which Landlord may
lease all or some portion of the Expansion Premises to the third party on the basis of the Offer.
In the event such third party does not lease the Expansion Space pursuant to the Offer, Landlord
shall be obligated to follow the foregoing procedure for any subsequent Offer which it receives.
If such third party does lease the Expansion Space pursuant to the Offer, Tenants right of first
refusal with respect to that Expansion Space shall continue. If Tenant exercises its option to
include the Expansion Space hereunder, effective on the delivery date specified in the Offer, the
Expansion Space shall automatically be included in the Premises and subject to all the terms and
conditions of the Lease, except as set forth in the Offer and as follows:
(a) Tenants Proportionate Share shall be recalculated, using the total square footage of the
Premises, as increased by the Expansion Space.
4
(b) Except as set forth in the Offer, the Expansion Space shall be leased on an as is basis
and Landlord shall have no obligation to improve the Expansion Space or grant Tenant any
improvement allowance thereon.
(c) If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall, prior to the beginning of the term for the
Expansion Space, execute a written memorandum confirming the inclusion of the Expansion Space and
the Basic Rent for the Expansion Space.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to lease the Expansion Space if
the Termination Date under this Lease is prior to the date on which the term of the lease of the
Expansion Space would expire under the terms under which Landlord intends to offer the Expansion
Space to the public (Expansion Termination Date) (e.g., if only one year remains in the term of
this Lease but Landlord requires a minimum term of three years for the Expansion Space, Tenant
would have no right to lease the Expansion Space). However, if Tenant has a remaining renewal
option which, if properly exercised, would extend the Termination Date of this Lease to or beyond
the Expansion Termination Date, Tenant shall have the right to lease the Expansion Space if,
concurrently with its exercise of that right, it also exercises such renewal option.
(e) The current term of the lease of the 1,172 RSF Expansion Space expires on May 31, 2012,
and the current term of the lease of the 1,474 RSF Expansion Space expires on April 30, 2012.
However, nothing herein shall be construed as to prohibit Landlord from extending the term of the
lease of any existing tenant or of any future tenant who first leases the Expansion Space after
compliance with this Paragraph 12.
(f) This option is not transferable; the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that they intend
that the aforesaid right of first refusal shall be personal to Tenant as set forth above and that
in no event will any assignee or sublessee have any rights to exercise the aforesaid right except
for an affiliate of Tenant.
13. Right of First Offer to Purchase. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a Right of
First Offer to purchase the Property which includes the land in Framingham Massachusetts along with
the Building and other improvements, (for this Right of First Offer Period, hereinafter the
Building) during the Right of First Offer Period, which shall commence on the date of this
Amendment and shall terminate upon expiration of this Lease.
(a) If, during the Right of First Offer Period, Landlord decides to sell the Building,
Landlord shall provide to Tenant a letter of intent specifying the specific terms upon which
Landlord wishes to sell the Building (the Offering Notice). If Tenant desires to purchase the
Building, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Offering Notice,
notify Landlord, in writing, either (i) that Tenant intends to exercise its Right of First Offer on
the terms stated in the Offering Notice, or (ii) that Tenant declines to exercise its Right of
First Offer. If Tenant fails to give such notice within such fifteen (15) business day period,
Tenant will be deemed to have declined to exercise its Right of First Offer. If Tenant declines,
or is deemed to have declined, to exercise its Right of First Offer, Tenant shall have no further
exclusive or special right or option to purchase the Building, and, at Landlords request,
5
Tenant shall so confirm in a recordable instrument. This shall not, however, preclude Tenant
from consideration as a purchaser in an open market purchase of the Building.
(b) If the Building is sold to a third party after full compliance with the terms of this
Amendment and an Offering Notice, Tenants Right of First Offer thereafter shall be null and void
and shall not be binding on such purchaser nor applicable to any subsequent sale of the Building.
(c) If Tenant decides to purchase the Building under the terms of the Offering Notice, the
Tenant shall within the fifteen (15) business day period execute the letter of intent presented by
the Landlord and make a non-refundable deposit per the terms of the letter of intent, and close the
transaction within 60 days.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Tenants Right of First Offer
shall not apply to, and Tenant shall have no right to purchase the Building in connection with, (i)
the sale or transfer of the Building to an affiliate of Landlord or Landlords investment manager
(which sale or transfer shall not, however, void Tenants Right of First Offer on a later sale or
transfer in an arms length transaction), or (ii) the sale or proposed sale of the Building to a
third party where the Building is a portion of a package or portfolio sale including one or more
additional properties (and upon completion of such third party sale, Tenants Right of First Offer
shall be null and void).
(e) This option is not transferable; the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that they intend
that the aforesaid right of first offer shall be personal to Tenant as set forth above and that
in no event will any assignee or sublessee have any rights to exercise the aforesaid right except
for an affiliate, or shareholder of Tenant.
14. Commissions. Each of the parties represents and warrants that it has not dealt
with any broker or finder in connection with this Amendment, except for Richards Barry Joyce &
Partners, LLC, whose commission shall be paid by the Landlord pursuant to a separate agreement.
Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all claims for commissions
or fees in connection with the Premises and this Amendment from any other real estate broker or
agent.
15. Parking Garage. The second sentence of Section 2.2(c) of the Original Lease, as
modified, is replaced in its entirety by the following: Three (3) of Tenants Share of Parking
Spaces shall be available for Tenants use, on a non-exclusive, unreserved basis, in the parking
garage on the Property.

discretion.
(b) The specifications for the generator itself and for its installation, including mounting,

Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale, and will be transferred AS IS, WHERE IS AND WITH
ALL FAULTS EXCLUDING WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY OR
SUITABILITY. However, if Landlord elects by notice given to Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior
to expiration of the Term, Tenant shall, at Tenants sole cost, remove the generator and all
appurtenances and related equipment, and repair any damage caused by such removal, including
removal of screening and
7

this Amendment and the Lease shall be limited to and enforceable only against and to the extent of
Landlords interest in the Property. The obligations of Landlord under this Amendment and the
Lease are not intended to be and shall not be personally binding on, nor shall any resort be had to
the private properties of, any of its or its investment managers trustees, directors, officers,
partners, beneficiaries, members, stockholders, employees, or agents, and in no case shall Landlord
be liable to Tenant hereunder for any lost profits, damage to business, or any form of special,
indirect or consequential damages.

original Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE
between RREEF AMERICA REIT III-Z1 LLC
and AMERESCO, INC.
dated January 1, 2010
111 Speen Street, Framingham, MA
FORM OF SUBORDINATION AND NON DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT
(begins on the following page)
B-1
LEASE SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
This Lease Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement (this Agreement), made as
of the ___day of , 200___, by and between
(Lessee)
and MASSACHUSETTS MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a Massachusetts corporation (Lender).
RECITALS
A. Lender is the holder of a certain promissory note (the Note) issued by
(Lessor) dated
in the original principal sum of
$ and of the mortgage or deed of trust of even date therewith (the
Mortgage) securing the Note, which Mortgage encumbers the real property (the Property)
described on Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof.
B. Lessee and Lessor, entered into a lease agreement (the Lease) dated
by
which Lessee leased from Lessor certain premises commonly known as
(the
Leased Premises), and constituting a portion of the Property.
C. Lessee desires to be able to obtain the advantages of the Lease and occupancy thereunder in
the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage and Lender wishes to have Lessee confirm the priority of
the Mortgage over the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
7. Lessee hereby covenants and agrees that all its rights and interests whatsoever under the
Lease in the Leased Premises and the Property are and shall remain subject and subordinate to the
lien of the Mortgage, to all of the rights and interests of Lender under the Mortgage and to all
the terms, conditions and provisions thereof, to all advances made or to be made thereunder or
under the Note, and to any increases, renewals, extensions, modifications, substitutions,
consolidations or replacements thereof or of the Note.
8. So long as Lessee is not in default (beyond any period given Lessee in the Lease to cure
such default) in the payment of rent or additional charges or in the performance of any of the
other terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on its part to be performed, Lessee shall not be
disturbed by Lender in its possession of the Leased Premises during the term of the Lease, or any
extension or renewal thereof, or in the enjoyment of Lessees rights under the Lease.
9. If the interest of the Lessor under the Lease shall be acquired by Lender or any purchaser
(Purchaser) by reason of exercise of the power of sale or the foreclosure of the Mortgage or
other proceedings brought to enforce the rights of the holder thereof, by deed in lieu of
foreclosure or by any other method, and Lender or Purchaser succeeds to the interest of Lessor
under the Lease, Lessee shall attorn to Lender or Purchaser as its lessor, said attornment to be
effective and self-operative without the execution of any other instruments on the part of either
party hereto immediately upon Lenders or Purchasers succeeding to the interest of the Lessor
B-2
under the Lease, and the Lease shall continue in accordance with its terms between Lessee as
lessee and Lender or Purchaser as lessor; provided, however, that:
(a) Lender or Purchaser shall not be personally liable under the Lease and Lenders or
Purchasers liability under the Lease shall be limited to the ownership interest of Lender or
Purchaser in the Property;
(b) Lender or Purchaser shall not be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor
(including Lessor);
(c) Lender or Purchaser shall not be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might
have against any prior lessor (including Lessor);
(d) Lender or Purchaser shall not be bound by any prepayment of rent or deposit, rental
security or any other sums deposited with any prior lessor (including Lessor) under the Lease, with
the exception of the Prepayment of Monthly Rent pursuant to the Amendment, unless actually received
by Lender or Purchaser;
(e) Lender or Purchaser shall not be bound by any agreement or modification of the Lease made
without Lenders or Purchasers written consent;
(f) Lender or Purchaser shall not be bound to commence or complete any construction or to make
any contribution toward construction or installation of any improvements upon the Leased Premises
or the Property required under the Lease or any expansion or rehabilitation of existing
improvements thereon, or for the payment of any tenant allowance or incentive, or for restoration
of improvements following any casualty not required to be insured under the Lease or for the costs
of any restorations in excess of any proceeds recovered under any insurance required to be carried
under the Lease; and
(g) Lender or Purchaser shall not be bound by any radius restriction or other restriction on
competition beyond the Property.
The obligation of Lessee to attorn as described in this Paragraph 3 is independent of Lenders
nondisturbance obligation under Paragraph 2. Lessee expressly acknowledges and agrees that a
default by Lessee under the Lease (beyond any period given Lessee in the Lease to cure such
default), (i) shall terminate Lenders nondisturbance obligation, and (ii) shall not terminate
Lessees attornment obligation or any other agreements by Lessee set forth herein; provided,
however, at Purchasers sole option, Purchaser may elect to reject Lessees attornment by written
notice to Lessee delivered within thirty (30) days following acquisition of the interest of Lessor.
If Purchaser accepts such attornment, Purchaser shall be entitled to exercise any or all of its
rights and remedies under the Lease and/or at law or in equity by reason of default by Lessee under
the Lease (beyond any period given Lessee in the Lease to cure such default).
10. Lessee certifies to Lender that the Lease is presently in full force and effect with no
defaults thereunder by Lessor or by Lessee and unmodified except as indicated hereinabove; that the
term thereof has commenced and the full rental is now accruing thereunder; that Lessee has accepted
possession of the Leased Premises and that any improvements required by the terms
B-3
of the Lease to be made by Lessor have been completed to the satisfaction of Lessee; that any
tenant allowances or other payments to be made by Lessor to Lessee have been made; that no rent
under the Lease has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date; that the
address for notices to be sent to Lessee is as set forth in the Lease; and that Lessee has no
charge, lien, claim or offset under the Lease or otherwise, against rents or other charges due or
to become due thereunder.
11. Lessee agrees with Lender that from and after the date hereof, Lessee will not enter into
any agreements amending the Lease without Lenders prior written consent and that Lessee will not
terminate or seek to terminate the Lease by reason of any act or omission of the Lessor thereunder
until Lessee shall have given written notice, by certified mail, return receipt requested, of said
act or omission to Lender, which notice shall be addressed to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company, c/o Babson Capital Management LLC, 1500 Main Street, Suite 2100, Springfield,
Massachusetts 01115-5189, Attention: Managing Director, Real Estate Investment Division, and until
a reasonable period of time shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice, but not greater
than ninety (90) days, during which period Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated,
to remedy such act or omission.
12. Lessee covenants that it will not subordinate the Lease to any other mortgage or deed of
trust without Lenders prior written consent.
13. Lessor, by its execution of this Agreement, does hereby authorize Lessee to make all rent
and additional rent payments due under the Lease to Lender, should Lender notify Lessee in writing
that Lender is invoking its right under the Mortgage to receive all rent and additional rent
payments due under the Lease.
14. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Lessee and Lender,
and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. This Agreement may
not be altered, modified or amended except in writing signed by all of the partied hereto. In the
event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the state where
the Property is located.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of
