  • Commercial Lease. Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
  • Commercial Sublease. When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
  • Sublease Agreement. Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

                                         incorporated into the fabric of the
                                         Building and therefore not easily

                                         Equipment, (as distinguished from
                                         Tenant's Specialized Improvements/Base

                                         and therefore are easily removed. The
                                         TFE are to be procured by Tenant at its
                                         own cost and expense, separate from the
                                         Project, and delivered to Landlord, and
                                         then, once so delivered, installed by

                                         Projects because they will also benefit
                                         therefrom.

the subject Extension Option is exercised or at the commencement of the subject
Extension Term. Tenant may exercise any such Extension Option by giving Landlord
notice by the date which is 15 months prior to the expiration of the then
current Term. The subject Option to Extend and any remaining Extension Options
shall lapse if Tenant fails to give Landlord an exercise notice by such date. If
Tenant exercises any Extension Option, then (a) the Term of this Lease shall
automatically be extended by the subject Extension Period without the
requirement of any further instrument, (b) the Base Rent during the subject
Extension Period shall be as specified for such period in Schedule BR attached
hereto, (c) all of the other provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease
shall continue to apply during such Extension Period and (d) except only where

off-site improvements included in and necessary for the Project. Tenant shall
assist and cooperate with Landlord in such effort. Upon Landlord's request,
Tenant shall attend and assist Landlord with presentations at any scheduled
hearings and proceedings. Absent such request, Tenant shall still be entitled to
attend and observe such hearings and proceedings. All plans and specifications
submitted with permit applications shall be substantially consistent with the
Plans and Specifications listed in Schedule PS attached hereto. If during the
course of any permitting proceeding it should become necessary or desirable to
modify such plans and specifications, then if and to the extent (if any) such

notice specify the increase or decrease, if any, in the Base Project Cost,
Tenant's Specialized Improvements/Base Building Upgrades Cost, Tenant's Fixtures
and Equipment Installation Cost, Phases II/III Preliminary Work Cost, Scheduled
Completion Date and Outside Completion Date, whichever is or are applicable,

<PAGE>

cost and time estimation methods customarily utilized in the construction
industry (the "Landlord's Proposed Pricing/Timing Adjustment" or "Proposed
Pricing/Timing Adjustment"). Tenant shall give notice back to Landlord approving
or disapproving Landlord's Proposed Pricing/Timing Adjustment within five days
after Tenant's receipt thereof. If Tenant approves the Proposed Pricing/Timing
Adjustment, then (a) the subject Tenant Change Proposal shall become a change
order and be incorporated into the Plans and Specifications and executed in the
construction of the Project (a "Tenant Change Order"), (b) Tenant shall pay any
resulting increased cost specified in the Landlord's Proposal Pricing/Timing
Adjustment as provided above and (c) the Scheduled Completion Date and the
Outside Completion Date shall be adjusted as set forth in the Landlord's
Proposed Pricing/Timing Adjustment, as applicable. Any resulting cost savings
shall be allocated as provided in Sections 4.34, 4.36, 4.38 and 4.40. Both
Parties must give final approval to any Tenant Change Order, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Tenant disapproves or does not
timely respond to the Landlord's Proposed Pricing/Timing Adjustment, then the
Plans and Specifications shall not be modified, the Project shall be constructed
without regard to the Tenant Change Proposal, Tenant shall not be charged for
any increased cost and the aforesaid completion dates shall remain unchanged.

      4.22 Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment. Tenant shall be responsible, at its

of the Project.

      4.23 Inspection. Tenant shall have the right, but shall not be obligated,
to inspect Landlord's work on the Project from time to time throughout the
course of construction in order to determine whether or not such work complies
with the approved Plans and Specifications and other requirements of this
Article IV. Landlord shall promptly correct any material deviations of which
Tenant gives Landlord notice and which are confirmed by the Project Architect.

Fixtures and Equipment Installation Costs and Phases II/III Preliminary
Development Costs incurred. Each report shall set forth in reasonable detail the
actual such Project Costs incurred for the subject month, and the total such
Project Costs incurred from the beginning of the Project through the end of such
month. Such reports shall include copies of or otherwise disclose all
requisitions for payment and similar invoices received from contractors,
subcontractors, suppliers and other similar parties with respect to the Project
for the subject month, the Project Architect's certifications as to such
requisitions and invoices, requisitions made by Landlord to the Interim First
Mortgage Lender and the Second Mortgage Lender, statements from such lenders for
disbursements made and interest and other charges due under their respective
loans, and all applicable items paid by or debited against the account of
Landlord and/or the Construction Manager during such month. Each such report
shall be delivered to Tenant within 15 days after the end of the month in which
it occurs.

      4.25 Tenant's Representatives. Tenant may at its own cost and expense
employ architects, engineers, consultants and other qualified personnel to
assist Tenant in making all reviews, inspections and decisions which Tenant is
required to make hereunder. Such persons shall be entitled to receive, inspect
and review the same documents and materials and have the same access to the
Premises as Tenant is entitled to hereunder, provided that they do not (a)
hinder Landlord's progress, (b) exceed Tenant's authority hereunder, (c)
interfere with Landlord's Construction Manager, architects, engineers and
consultants or (d) make unreasonable demands on the aforesaid parties' time.

      4.26 Tenant Not Responsible for Landlord's Work. Unless specifically
stated to the contrary in writing, no approval given by Tenant, or failure by
Tenant to raise any objection, pursuant to this Article IV shall constitute a
representation, warranty or acknowledgment that the element approved or not
objected to is in compliance with Applicable Laws, properly designed or
constructed or fit for its intended purpose, or that that the person approved or
not objected to is qualified for the given job or task. All judgments and
determinations with respect to such matters shall remain the sole responsibility
of Landlord. Tenant shall not be a party to any construction or other contract
for the Project, nor shall Tenant have any obligation or liability to any of
Landlord's contractors, subcontractors or any other party with respect to any
construction of or work on the Project, whether under any such contract or
otherwise.

      4.27 Completion. Subject to the force majeure provisions set forth in
Section 25.5, Landlord shall make reasonable and diligent efforts Substantially
to Complete the Project by the Scheduled Completion Date.

      4.28 Outside Completion Date. Landlord shall in any event Substantially
Complete the Project and have the Premises Ready for Tenant's Occupancy by the
Outside Completion Date, subject only to delays caused by Acts of God, war,
civil commotion, fire, flood, hurricane or other unusually severe weather event
or shortages of materials and equipment, but not any of the other force majeure
events under Section 25.5. If Landlord shall fail Substantially to Complete the
Project and to have the Premises Ready for Tenant's Occupancy by the Outside
Completion Date, then, in addition to and not in lieu or limitation of any other
rights and remedies which Tenant may have against Landlord on account of such
failure, Tenant shall receive a credit against the Base Rent and Additional Rent
hereunder, once the same begin to be due, equal to the product of (a) $8,000 per
day times (b) the number of days from the Outside Completion Date until the date
on which the Project is finally Substantially Completed and the Premises are
Ready for Tenant's Occupancy. In the event Tenant should become entitled to any
other damages on account of such failure, such rent credit shall be counted as a
payment toward such damages, with the remaining amount due Tenant reduced
accordingly.

      4.29 Punchlist Items. After the Project is Substantially Completed, the
Premises are Ready for Tenant's Occupancy and the Term Commencement Date has
occurred, Landlord shall complete any unfinished punchlist items within 30 days
after the latter said date or, as to any of such items which cannot be completed
until a later time because of season, weather, time required for receipt of
requisite materials or similar factors, as soon as possible thereafter.

      4.30 Tenant Delays in Procuring and Delivering TFE. If there should be any
Tenant delays in procuring and delivering any of the Tenant's Fixtures and
Equipment which Landlord is to install as part of the Project, and the Project
would be Substantially Complete but for the late TFE items, then the Project
shall be deemed Substantially Complete without such items. In such event,
Landlord shall subsequently install or complete installation of the late TFE
items as additional punchlist items, and shall be afforded the same amount of
time to complete such installation as originally provided therefor in the
Project schedule.

      4.31 Determination of Actual Final Project Costs. Within 30 days after
full and final completion of the Project (including all punchlist items to be
completed after Substantial Completion), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
certification signed by both Landlord and the Project Architect setting forth
the final actual Base Project Cost, Tenant's Specialized Improvements/Base
Building Upgrades Cost, Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment Installation Cost and
Phases II/III Preliminary Work Cost, each itemized in reasonable detail and
including reasonable supporting documentation ("Landlord's Project Cost
Certification"). Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with any further
supporting documentation and information which Tenant may request regarding
Landlord's Project Cost Certification. Tenant shall further have the right to
examine, inspect and audit all of Landlord's and the Construction Manager's
records with respect to Project Costs. Within 45 days after receipt of
Landlord's Project Cost Certification, Tenant shall give notice back to Landlord
agreeing with or disputing the same. If Tenant agrees or fails to respond within
said 45 days, the final actual Base Project Cost, Tenant's Specialized
Improvements/Base Building Upgrades Cost, Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment
Installation Cost and Phases II/III Preliminary Work Cost shall each be as set
forth in Landlord's certification. If Tenant gives notice disputing Landlord's
Project Cost Certification within said 45 days, then such dispute shall be
resolved as provided in Section 4.32 below.

      4.32 Dispute Resolution. If Tenant disputes Landlord's Project Cost
Certification, the Parties shall make reasonable and diligent efforts in good
faith to resolve such dispute and agree in writing as to the amount of the final
actual Base Project Cost, Tenant's Specialized Improvements/Base Building
Upgrades Cost, Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment Installation Cost and/or Phases
II/III Preliminary Work Cost, whichever are in dispute, within 30 days after
Tenant's dispute notice. If they succeed, then the final actual Base Project
Cost, Tenant's Specialized Improvements/Base Building Upgrades Cost Tenant's
Fixtures and Equipment Installation Cost and/or Phases II/III Preliminary Work
Cost, as applicable, shall be as established by their agreement. If they do not,
then the Parties shall submit the matter to arbitration in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the final actual Base Project
Cost, Tenant's Specialized Improvements/Base Building Upgrades Cost, Tenant's
Fixtures and Equipment Installation Cost and/or Phases II/III Preliminary Work
Cost, as applicable, shall be as determined by such arbitration. In such event,
the arbitrator shall be authorized to allocate the cost of the arbitration
(including reasonable legal fees) between the Parties as an element of his or
her decision.

      4.33 Cost Overruns/Base Project. In the event that the final actual Base
Project Cost is greater than the Budgeted Cost for the Base Project, then (a)
any such excess


                                      -34-
<PAGE>

caused by Tenant Change Orders or otherwise caused by or the fault of Tenant
shall be paid by Tenant and (b) the balance of any such excess shall be paid by
Landlord, each out of their own funds.

      4.34 Cost Savings/Base Project. In the event that the final actual Base
Project Cost is less than the Budgeted Cost for the Base Project, whether
because of Tenant Change Orders which reduced costs as for any other reason,
then (a) 75% of such savings shall be paid to Second Mortgage Lender (which is
Tenant or a Tenant Affiliate) to pay down the Second Mortgage Loan and (b) 25%
of such savings shall be reimbursed to Landlord.

      4.35 Cost Overruns/Tenant Specialized Improvements-Base Building Upgrades.
In the event that the final actual Tenant Specialized Improvements/Base Building
Cost is greater than the Budgeted Cost for the TSI/BBU, then (a) any such excess
caused by or the fault of Landlord shall be paid by Landlord and (b) the balance
of any such excess, including without limitation all such excess caused by
Tenant Change Orders, shall be paid by Tenant, each out of their own funds.

      4.36 Cost Savings/Tenant Specialized Improvements-Base Building Upgrades.
In the event that the final actual Tenant Specialized Improvements-Base Building
Upgrades Cost is less than the Budgeted Cost for the TSI/BBU, whether because of
Tenant Change Orders or for any other reason, such savings shall be credited to
Tenant and the amount of Tenant's Contribution for TSI/BBU shall be reduced
accordingly.

      4.37 Cost Overruns/Installation of Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment. In the
event that the final actual Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment Installation Cost is
greater than the Budgeted Cost for Installation of the TFE, then (a) any such
excess caused by or the fault of Landlord shall be paid by Landlord and (b) the
balance of any such excess, including without limitation all such excess caused
by Tenant Change Orders, shall be paid by Tenant, each out of their own funds.

      4.38 Cost Savings/Installation of Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment. In the
event that the final actual Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment Installation Cost is
less than the Budget Cost for Installation of the TFE, whether because of Tenant
Change Orders or for any other reason, such savings shall be credited to Tenant
and the amount of Tenant's Contribution for TFE Installation shall be reduced
accordingly.

      4.39 Cost Overruns/Phases II-III Preliminary Work. In the event that the
final actual Phases II/III Preliminary Work Cost is greater that the Budgeted
Cost for such work, then (a) any such excess caused by Tenant change orders or
otherwise caused by or the fault of Tenant shall be paid by Tenant and (b) the
balance of any such excess shall be paid by Landlord (or its affiliates, Phase
II Landlord and/or Phase III Landlord, whichever is applicable), each out of
their own funds.

      4.40 Cost Savings/Phase II-III Preliminary Work. In the event that the
final Actual Phases II/III Preliminary Work Cost is less than the Budgeted Cost
for such work, whether because of Tenant Change Orders which reduced cost or for
any other reason, such savings shall be credited to Landlord (or its affiliates,
the Phase II Landlord and/or


                                      -35-
<PAGE>

Phase III Landlord, whichever is applicable), and the amount of Landlord's
Contribution for Phases II/III Preliminary Work shall be reduced accordingly.

      4.41 Correction of Construction Defects. Landlord shall correct and repair
at its own cost and expense any defects in the construction of the Project
arising and of which Tenant gives Landlord notice prior to end of the first
Lease Year.

      4.42 Buy-Out Obligation. If at any time prior to Substantial Completion of
the Project the Tenant's Cash and Cash Equivalents shall fall below
$137,000,000, Tenant shall purchase the Office, Research and Development Park
from Landlord and the other Collective Owners at the same price and upon the
same basis as under Tenant's Purchase Option pursuant to Article XXII. Tenant
shall provide Landlord with monthly reports of its Cash and Cash Equivalents
certified by an appropriate officer of Tenant within 20 days after the end of
each month throughout the construction period. If the aforesaid condition
occurs, the Closing shall take place 60 days after the monthly report indicating
the same. Landlord shall have the right reasonably to examine Tenant's financial
records to confirm such reports after reasonable notice to Tenant. Landlord
shall keep all financial information which it receives or learns strictly
confidential. Landlord shall have the right to enforce Tenant's obligation to
purchase the Park as aforesaid by the remedy of specific performance.

                                    ARTICLE V

                Interim Term Loan; Permanent First Mortgage Loan

      5.1 Interim Term Loan. After Landlord has substantially completed the
Project and the Premises are Ready for Tenant's Occupancy and any other
applicable conditions as may be set forth in the Interim First Mortgage Loan
Documents have been satisfied, the Interim First Mortgage Loan shall convert
from a Construction Loan into an Interim Term Loan with a fixed interest rate
and 25 year amortization schedule for the balance of the time until the maturity
thereof, all as more particularly set forth in the IFM Loan Documents.

      5.2 Permanent First Mortgage Loan. No sooner than the beginning of the
fourth year of the Interim First Mortgage Loan and no later than the maturity
date thereunder (the end of the fifth year of such loan), Landlord shall obtain
a Permanent First Mortgage Loan from a Permanent First Mortgage Lender to "take
out" the Interim First Mortgage Loan. The original principal amount of the
Permanent First Mortgage Loan shall be the then outstanding balance due under
the Interim First Mortgage Loan (and not more), and the proceeds thereof shall
be used to fully pay off and discharge the Interim First Mortgage Loan. The
Permanent First Mortgage Loan shall have (a) a term of at least the greater of
(i) the then remainder of the initial Term of this Lease or (ii) ten years and
(b) an amortization schedule of no less than 20 years. Landlord shall make
reasonable and diligent efforts to obtain the Permanent First Mortgage Loan at
the lowest possible interest rates and on the best possible other terms and
conditions, given then prevailing market conditions. Landlord shall obtain
Tenant's prior written approval of the rates, terms and conditions of the
Permanent First Mortgage Loan, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Aspects of the foregoing are more particularly


                                      -36-
<PAGE>

described in the Interim First Mortgage Loan Documents, to which reference is
made for a complete statement thereof.

      5.3 Tenant's Option. If Tenant is unsatisfied with the rate or other terms
of the First Permanent Mortgage Loan to be obtained by Landlord, Tenant may at
its option (but without any obligation to do so) cause Interim First Mortgage
Lender (which is Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant) to extend the maturity date
of the Interim Term Loan by ten years at the same interest rate, amortization
rate and other provisions, terms and conditions set forth in the Interim First
Mortgage Loan Documents, thereby converting such loan into the permanent
financing for the Premises. Landlord shall in such case refrain from obtaining
the First Permanent Mortgage Loan from the third party Permanent Lender. Aspects
of the foregoing are more particularly described in Articles IV and V of the
Loan Agreement for the Interim First Mortgage Loan, to which reference is made
for a complete statement thereof.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                    Base Rent

      6.1 Base Rent. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay the Base Rent to
Landlord throughout the Term at Landlord's Address or at such other place or to
such other person or entity as Landlord may direct by notice to Tenant from time
to time, in the monthly amount for each Lease Year specified in Section 1.1 and
Schedule BR attached hereto, in advance on the first day of each calendar month
during the Term, and for any partial month at the beginning or the end of the
Term, the pro-rata portion of such monthly amount allocable thereto.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                 Additional Rent

      7.1 Payment. This is a so-called "triple net" Lease. In order that the
Base Rent shall be net to Landlord, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent during
the Term (a) to Landlord, Landlord's Operating Costs (including Real Estate
Taxes) with respect to the Property and (b) to the applicable parties owed or
charged with the collection thereof, Tenant's personal property taxes, Tenant's
insurance costs and utility charges with respect to the Premises, as set forth
in this Article VII.

      7.2 Operating Costs - Estimated Monthly Payments. At least 30 days prior
to the start of each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall reasonably
estimate Landlord's Operating Costs with respect to the Premises (including the
appropriate share of such costs for the common areas, easements and facilities
of the Office Research and Development Park as are allocated to the Premises as
provided in Section 1.2.42(j) hereof for the upcoming year and shall give Tenant
notice thereof, setting forth such estimate by line items in reasonable detail.
Landlord's notice shall also specify an amount for monthly operating cost
installments equal to 1/12 of Landlord's total annual estimate (the "Monthly
Estimated Operating Cost Payments" or "Monthly Estimated OC Payments"). Tenant


                                      -37-
<PAGE>

shall pay Landlord such Monthly Estimated Operating Cost Payments on the first
day of each month during the subject calendar year, together with its regular
monthly payments of Base Rent. Landlord may from time to time before or during a
subject year reasonably revise its estimate of Operating Costs for such year
(for either or both retroactive or future items with respect to the subject
year), and adjust Tenant's Monthly Estimated OC Payments accordingly by
subsequent notice to Tenant, which notice shall include an explanation in
reasonable detail for the change. Such adjustments may include amounts necessary
to "catch up" on payment or crediting of retroactively adjusted items by the end
of the year. If Landlord shall fail to give Tenant notice of such estimates
prior to the start of any calendar year, then Tenant shall continue to make
Monthly Estimated OC Payments in the amount in effect for the previous year
until Landlord gives Tenant notice revising such estimates. Any change made by
Landlord in the amount of Tenant's Monthly Estimated OC Payments shall be
effective on the first day of the second calendar month after the month in which
Landlord's notice effecting the change was given. For example, if Landlord gives
Tenant notice changing Tenant's Monthly Estimated OC Payment during the month of
May, Tenant would begin making payment in the new amount commencing the
following July 1.

      7.3 Operating Costs - Annual Reconciliation. Within 90 days after the end
of each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall prepare and deliver a
statement to Tenant setting forth Landlord's actual Operating Costs with respect
to the Premises for the subject year, the total of Tenant's Monthly Estimated
Operating Cost Payments for such year and the difference between the two (the
"Annual Operating Cost Reconciliation Statement" or "Annual OC Reconciliation
Statement"). Each Annual Operating Cost Reconciliation Statement shall set forth
all items (including costs by line items) in reasonable detail, shall be
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall
be certified by Landlord and signed in such regard by an officer thereof. If the
Annual OC Reconciliation Statement shows that Landlord's actual Operating Costs
with respect to the Premises for the subject year exceeded the total of Tenant's
Estimated Monthly OC Payments therefor, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the
difference within 30 days after receiving such statement. If, on the other hand,
the Annual OC Reconciliation Statement shows that the total of Tenant's Monthly
Estimated OC Payments for the subject year exceeded Landlord's actual Operating
Costs, then Landlord shall credit Tenant the amount of the difference against
Tenant's next Monthly Estimated Operating Cost Payment or Payments or other
Additional Rent due to Landlord hereunder, or, if at the expiration or
termination hereof, shall reimburse such difference to Tenant simultaneously
with the rendering of such statement.

      7.4 Operating Costs - Records; Accounting. Landlord shall account for and
maintain true, accurate and complete records of its Operating Costs with respect
to the Premises for each calendar year or portion thereof during the Term in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and good building
management practices. Such records shall be kept at Landlord's administrative
offices in the Boston metropolitan area, the location of which Landlord shall
give Tenant notice, and shall be retained for at least three years after the
calendar year to which they relate.

      7.5 Operating Costs - Substantiation, Examination and Audits. Upon
Tenant's request from time to time within six months after receipt of the Annual
Operating Cost


                                      -38-
<PAGE>

Reconciliation Statement for the calendar year in which the subject expenditure
occurred, Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with reasonable supporting
documentation for any particular item or items of Operating Costs. Tenant may
further from time to time up to the end of said six months examine Landlord's
records with respect to Operating Costs and audit Landlord's Annual OC
Reconciliation Statement or other statements regarding Operating Costs for the
calendar year in question. Landlord shall make all such records readily
available to Tenant for such examination and audit at Landlord's or its property
manager's offices in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If and whenever it deems
such action appropriate, Tenant may dispute any Operating Costs charged to it by
Landlord as being improper or disallowed under the terms of this Lease, and
Tenant reserves all rights in such regard, provided, however, that Tenant must
give Landlord notice of such dispute no later than six months after receipt of
the Annual OC Reconciliation Statement for the calendar year in question. Any
Annual OC Reconciliation Statement or other Landlord statements relating to the
subject year shall be binding on Tenant if and to the extent not so disputed
within such time. Landlord shall reimburse or credit to Tenant such amount (if
any) which is, upon resolution of the dispute, finally determined to have been
incorrect or improper, together with interest at the Late Payment/Default Rate.

      7.6 Operating Costs - Efforts to Minimize. Landlord shall make reasonable
efforts to minimize Operating Costs with respect to the Premises to the extent
consistent with performance of its obligations hereunder and operation of the
Premises as a first class facility. In such regard, Landlord shall reasonably
attempt to procure all goods and services the costs of which are included in
Operating Costs at competitive market rates and prices. If any of the subject
goods and services were provided by Landlord Related Parties and the costs
therefor exceed reasonable market rates, then only the reasonable market amount
shall be included in calculating Operating Costs, and the excess above such
amount shall be excluded.

      7.7 Real Estate Taxes - Payment. All Real Estate Taxes assessed, levied or
imposed on or with respect to the Premises during or with respect to the Term
shall be included in the Operating Costs for the calendar year in which they are
so assessed, levied, or imposed, and thereby paid by Tenant through its
Operating Cost payments.

      7.8 Real Estate Taxes - Betterment Assessments; Increment Financing.
Landlord shall pay any betterment assessments included in Real Estate Taxes to
the applicable authorities over the longest period permitted by Applicable Law,
and Tenant shall only be required to pay such installments or portions thereof
for installment periods or portions thereof included within the Term. Tenant
further shall only be required to pay such portions of any such installments as
are applicable to the Premises. In addition, the Parties shall cooperate and
make reasonable and diligent efforts to negotiate tax increment financing
arrangements with any and all applicable tax jurisdictions, providing for a
phased-in schedule of tax payments, and the Real Estate Taxes paid by Tenant
hereunder shall follow any such phased-in schedule so that the savings with
respect thereto accrue to Tenant.

      7.9 Real Estate Taxes - Abatement. Either Party may at its election, but
shall not be obligated to, initiate and prosecute an action or proceeding for
abatement of any Real Estate Taxes on or with respect to the Premises. The other
Party shall reasonably cooperate with the initiating and prosecuting Party in
seeking such abatement, but shall


                                      -39-
<PAGE>

not be obligated to incur other than nominal expenses or any liability in such
regard. Should Tenant elect to initiate an abatement, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with reasonable prior notice to enable Landlord to join in such action.
Neither Party shall discontinue any abatement proceedings begun by it without
first giving the other Party notice of its intent so to do and reasonable
opportunity to be substituted in such proceedings. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Lease to the contrary, neither Party paying any Real Estate
Taxes shall make or fail to make such payment in such an amount, in such a
manner, or at such a time as would prejudice any abatement proceeding, except
only that if failure to make the subject payment would jeopardize either Party's
title to or interest in the Premises, then such payment shall be made so that
title or such interest shall not be jeopardized. Any abatement received shall be
paid and distributed first to each Party in the amount of the reasonable costs
and expenses expended by it to obtain such abatement, and the remainder to each
Party in the proportion that it paid the Real Estate Taxes which were abated.

      7.10 Real Estate Taxes - Excluded Assessments; Substitute Taxes. Nothing
contained in this Lease shall require Tenant to pay any franchise, corporate,
estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax of Landlord,
unless (a) such tax is imposed, levied or assessed in substitution for any Real
Estate Taxes which Tenant is otherwise required to pay hereunder, or (b) if at
any time during the Term of this Lease, the method of taxation shall be such
that there shall be levied, assessed or imposed on Landlord a capital levy or
other tax directly on the rents received from the Premises and/or any tax or
assessment measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents, or upon
income from the Premises, or upon the value of the Premises or of any present or
future improvement or improvements on the Premises, in which case all such taxes
and assessments or the part thereof so measured or based (the "Substitute
Taxes"), shall be payable by Tenant, as Real Estate Taxes included in Operating
Costs, provided however, Tenant's obligation with respect to the aforesaid
Substitute Taxes shall be limited to the amount thereof as computed at the rates
that would be payable if the Premises were the only property of Landlord. Tenant
shall not under any circumstances be required to pay the costs of any off-site
improvements, so-called development impact fees or other similar costs or
payment which Landlord may be required to make because of or in connection with
construction of the Project, the Office, Research and Development Park or any
subsequent further development of either.

      7.11 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all taxes assessed against
Tenant's personal property on or about the Premises directly to the authorities
charged with the collection thereof, before or on the dates due from time to
time.

      7.12 Tenant's Insurance Costs. Tenant shall pay all premiums and other
costs of the insurance which it is required to carry pursuant to Section 13.4 to
the applicable insurers before or on the dates due from time to time.

      7.13 Utilities. To the extent not otherwise included in Operating Costs
charged to Tenant, Tenant shall pay directly to the applicable authorities or
companies all charges for water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone and other
utilities or services which Tenant uses or consumes on the Premises. Tenant
shall pay such charges before or on the dates due from time to time. Landlord is
not obligated to provide any utilities or services to the Premises except as
specifically provided in this Lease, and Landlord's liability in the event of
any


                                      -40-
<PAGE>

interruption or failure of supply with respect thereto is limited as provided
herein. Landlord shall provide appropriate easements and access to all
applicable utility providers.

      7.14 Late Payment of Rent. If Tenant fails to make any payment of Base
Rent, Additional Rent or other charges hereunder by the date due, then Tenant
shall pay Landlord (a) interest on such payment from the date due until the date
paid at the Late Payment/Default Interest Rate, but in no event more than the
maximum amount of interest allowed by Applicable Laws, and (b) if any late
charge is due for monthly loan payments under the Interim First Mortgage Loan or
Permanent First Mortgage Loan, a late charge at the same rate as is applicable
under such loan. The payment of such interest and charge shall be Additional
Rent.

      7.15 Apportionment. Any Additional Rent for any partial month, year or
other applicable period at the beginning or end of the Term or earlier
termination of this Lease shall be appropriately apportioned, and the amount,
calculation and procedures for payment thereof adjusted accordingly.

control) and (z) elements which are Landlord's obligation to maintain and repair
under the terms hereof. Tenant shall perform all repairs and other work
necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

      9.3 Repairs and Alterations Required by Laws. Landlord shall perform any
repairs and make any Subsequent Alterations and Improvements to the Premises
required by Applicable Laws for all buildings of the class and type of the
Building generally. Landlord shall be entitled to charge Tenant for such work as
Operating Costs to be paid by Tenant pursuant to Sections 1.2.42 and 7.2 through
7.6 if, to the extent and in the manner allowed by said Sections. Tenant shall
perform any repairs and make any Subsequent Alterations and Improvements to the
Premises required by Applicable Laws with respect to Tenant's specific use
thereof and activities thereon at Tenant's own cost and expense.

      9.4 Landlord Related Parties; Service Provider Qualifications. Landlord
may utilize Landlord Related Parties to provide goods and services in carrying
out its obligations to operate, furnish services, maintain, repair and perform
other functions regarding the Premises under this Lease. However, the costs and
charges of such Landlord Related Parties may not exceed reasonable market rates,
and if they do, then, as required


                                      -43-
<PAGE>

by Section 7.6, only the reasonable market amount shall be included in
calculating Operating Costs, and the excess above such amount shall be excluded.
Tenant may dispute any allegedly above-market charges by a Landlord Related
Party in accordance with the substantiation, examination and audit procedures
for Operating Cost charges set forth in Section 7.5. Any party providing goods
and services as aforesaid, whether a Landlord Related Party or unrelated, must
be reasonably qualified for the work it is to perform and must perform such work
to standards generally prevailing for properties similar to the Premises in the
MetroWest/Route 495 area. If Tenant objects to any such provider of goods and
services, whether a Landlord Related Party or unrelated, as not meeting the
aforesaid standards and reasonably substantiates the subject deficiencies, and
Landlord is not able to refute such objections to Tenant's reasonable
satisfaction, Landlord shall remove the subject provider and replace it with
another which meets such standards and is approved by Tenant, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

      10.1 Use. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Uses.

      10.2 Compliance with Law. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.3 and
10.4, Tenant shall at all times during the Term comply with all Applicable Laws
with respect to Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Tenant should contest the applicability or validity of any
purportedly Applicable Law in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings,
then Tenant may postpone compliance pending the outcome of such contest to the
extent (but only to the extent) that such postponement shall not jeopardize the
health and safety of any persons or property on, in or about the Premises or
expose Landlord or the Premises to any penalties, sanctions or liabilities.

      10.3 No Nuisance; Prohibited Uses. Tenant shall not injure, overload,
deface or otherwise harm the Premises; nor overload, impair or interfere with
the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, hot water, plumbing, electrical,

commit any nuisance on, in, from or about the Premises; nor emit or permit the
emission of any significant or objectionable noise, vibration, odor, smoke or
vapor from the Premises; nor in any way injure, obstruct, interfere with,
disturb, annoy, inconvenience or cause discomfort to other tenants of the Park,
abutting properties or the surrounding neighborhood; nor conduct or allow any
illegal, illicit or immoral activities on the Premises; nor make, allow or
suffer any waste of the Premises; nor make any use of the Premises which is
improper, offensive or contrary to Applicable Laws or which will invalidate any
of Landlord's or Tenant's insurance; nor do or permit to be done in or about the
Premises, or bring, keep or permit to be brought or kept in the Premises,
anything which is prohibited by or in conflict with Applicable Laws.

      10.4 Hazardous Substances. Tenant may, to the extent allowed by Applicable
Laws, bring, generate, store and use Permitted Hazardous Substances on the
Premises as necessary for the conduct of its business in accordance with the
Permitted Uses. However, Tenant shall use, store and dispose of any Permitted
Hazardous Substances in strict compliance with all Applicable Laws,
manufacturers' directions and industry standards,


                                      -44-
<PAGE>

and shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless with respect to such
origination, use or storage as more particularly set forth in Section 13.1.
Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Permitted Hazardous Substances as it
may bring or generate on the Premises from time to time, and present Landlord
with reasonable evidence that Tenant has obtained all Necessary Permits and is
complying with all Applicable Laws, manufacturers' directions and industry
standards with respect thereto. Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any
reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant's use of any
particular Permitted Hazardous Substances on the Premises. Tenant shall not
bring, generate, store or use any Hazardous Substances in the Premises other
than Permitted Hazardous Substances. In the event that Tenant or any Party for
Which Tenant is Responsible should spill, release, emit, discharge or dispose of
any Hazardous Substances, permitted or otherwise, on, in or from the Premises,
Tenant shall promptly contain, remediate, remove and clean up such substances in
strict compliance with all Applicable Laws, give all notices to applicable
governmental authorities required by such laws and shall indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless thereto pursuant to Section 13.1 as aforesaid. In the event
Tenant shall fail promptly to take any required action in such regard, Landlord
may cure Tenant's such failure or default pursuant to the provisions of Section
17.3 (with, as set forth in said Section, the prior notice requirement suspended
in the case of any emergency). Tenant shall not, however, be liable or
responsible for, be made to bear any costs or expenses regarding, be required to
test, remediate, remove, clean up or do any other work or take any other action
with respect to, be responsible for compliance with Applicable Laws regarding,
nor indemnify Landlord or any other party, with respect to any Hazardous
Materials which neither Tenant nor any Party for Which Tenant is Responsible
brought, generated, stored, used, installed, spilled, released, emitted,
discharged, or disposed of on, in or from the Premises or Park. Without limiting
the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible or liable for any Hazardous
Substances pre-existing in, on or about the Premises or Park prior to the Term
Commencement Date.

      10.5 Signs. Tenant shall comply with all requirements set forth in Article
XI hereof regarding Alterations and Improvements in erecting any signs on the
Premises. All signs must be reasonably compatible with the character of the
Office, Research and Development Park and in compliance with all Applicable
Laws. Signs which are garish or which would impair or damage the appearance,
image or reputation of the Park shall be prohibited. Without limiting the
foregoing, Tenant shall specifically be allowed a sign on the Premises which is
reasonably visible at all times the main or access roadway to the Premises.
Tenant shall also be entitled to a sign or signs on any entrance or other
general sign pylons, boards or similar structures in the Park, comparable to
those (if any) allowed to other tenants or occupants of the Park with amounts of
building floor area similar to that in the Premises. Landlord hereby approves
Tenant's initial signs proposed for the Premises described in Schedule IS
attached hereto. Landlord shall make all reasonable and diligent efforts to
obtain all Necessary Permits for such initial signs in connection with obtaining
the Necessary Permits for the Project pursuant to Section 4.3. Tenant shall be
responsible for obtaining any Necessary Permits for any subsequent signs.

      10.6 Landlord's Right to Enter. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its
agents to enter the Premises at reasonable times and from time to time after
reasonable notice (except in the event of emergency, when no prior notice shall
be required but shall be given


                                      -45-
<PAGE>

as soon as possible after the fact) (a) to inspect and examine the Premises, (b)
to clean, repair, make replacements and installations, remediate environmental
problems and do such other work on the Premises as provided under this Lease,
(c) to repair and restore the Premises after a fire or other casualty or taking
condemnation or eminent domain pursuant to Articles XIV and XV, (d) to cure any
defaults by Tenant pursuant to Section 17.3, without any obligation to do so,
and (e) to show the Premises to prospective purchasers and lenders. Tenant shall
further permit Landlord and its agents during the last year of the Term to show
the Premises to prospective tenants and, during the last six months of the Term,
to affix and maintain reasonable notices of availability in suitable places in
and on the Premises. Landlord shall make any such entry and perform any such
work in such manner as shall minimize interference with the operation of
Tenant's business on the Premises to the maximum extent possible.

      10.7 Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all reasonable rules
and regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time with respect to use of
the Premises and/or Park, provided that any such rules and regulations (a) are
substantially similar to those prevailing for properties similar to the Premises
and Park in the MetroWest/Route 495 area and (b) apply equally to all tenants
and occupants of the Premises and Park.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                     Subsequent Alterations and Improvements

      11.1 Construction by Tenant. After Landlord's original construction of the
Project, Tenant may from time to time during the Term, at its own cost and
expense, make Subsequent Alterations and Improvements to the Premises as
necessary for the Permitted Uses, in compliance with the terms and conditions of
this Article XI.

      11.2 Pre-Construction Obligations. Before commencing construction of any
Subsequent Alterations and Improvements, Tenant shall comply with the following.

            11.2.1 Plans and Specifications. In the case of Subsequent
Alterations and Improvements which will either (a) cost more than $100,000 to
construct or (b) connect to or otherwise materially affect the heating,
ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical or similar systems in the
Building or any structural elements thereof, Tenant shall have prepared and
deliver to Landlord reasonably detailed plans and specifications for such
alterations and improvements prepared by registered professional architects and
engineers, and obtain Landlord's written approval thereof. Landlord shall
approve or disapprove such plans and specifications by written notice back to
Tenant within 20 days after Tenant's submittal of such plans and specifications.
Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such approval shall, however,
be subject to the corresponding approval of any Mortgagee if required under its
Mortgage of the Premises (which Mortgagee's approval or denial shall be
determinative). Landlord shall make reasonable and diligent efforts to obtain
any required Mortgagee's approval. If Landlord fails to give Tenant the
aforesaid notice within said 20 days, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved
such plans and specifications. If Landlord disapproves of such plans and
specifications, Landlord shall in its disapproval notice specify in reasonable
detail the respects in which such plans and specifications are not satisfactory.
Tenant shall then


                                      -46-
<PAGE>

revise such plans and specifications to eliminate, upgrade or correct, as
appropriate, the unsatisfactory items, and resubmit the revised plans and
specifications to Landlord in accordance with the foregoing procedure, except
that Landlord shall have only 10 days to pass on the revised plans and
specifications. Landlord shall subsequently approve any revised and resubmitted
plans and specifications which eliminate, upgrade or correct the unsatisfactory
items in reasonably appropriate fashion. In the case of Subsequent Alterations
and Improvements which will cost less than $100,000 to construct or will not
connect to or materially affect any systems or structural elements of the
Building as aforesaid, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord's prior
written approval of plans and specifications for the proposed work, but shall
provide Landlord with a reasonable description or plans for Landlord's
information at least two weeks before commencing work.

            11.2.2 Contractor and Major Subcontractors. In the case of
Subsequent Alterations and Additions which require Landlord's consent under
Section 11.2.1, Tenant shall further give Landlord written notice as to what
general contractor Tenant proposes to hire to construct such alterations and
improvements, and of all subcontractors who will perform work costing more than
25% of the total construction costs for such improvements or affecting any
Building systems or structural elements, and obtain Landlord's written approval
of such contractors. Landlord shall approve or disapprove each such contractor
by written notice back to Tenant within 20 days after receipt of Tenant's
notice. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Landlord fails to
give Tenant such notice within said 20 days, Landlord shall be deemed to have
approved such contractor. If Landlord disapproves any such contractor, Landlord
shall in such notice set forth its reasons for disapproval in reasonable detail.
In the case of Subsequent Alterations and Improvements which do not require
Landlord's consent under Section 11.2.1, Tenant shall not be required to obtain
Landlord's prior written approval of its general contractor and major
subcontractors, but shall provide Landlord with notice thereof for Landlord's
information.

            11.2.3 Necessary Permits. Tenant shall obtain all Necessary Permits
for any Subsequent Alterations and Improvements under all Applicable Laws.

            11.2.4 Insurance. Tenant shall obtain, or cause its general
contractor and subcontractors to obtain, the insurance specified in Section
13.4.5 and provide Landlord with original certificates thereof and copies of
such policies. Tenant shall maintain, or cause such contractors to maintain,
said insurance throughout the course of construction.

      11.3 Construction. Tenant shall construct any Subsequent Alterations and
Improvements in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications
approved by Landlord (where applicable), the Necessary Permits received and all
Applicable Laws. In carrying out such construction, Tenant shall not materially
modify or deviate from the plans and specifications approved by Landlord (where
applicable) without first obtaining Landlord's approval of such modification or
deviation in the manner described in Section 11.2.1. All work shall be done in a
good and workmanlike manner using first class materials. Once having commenced,
Tenant shall diligently and continuously construct such alterations and
improvements until completed.


                                      -47-
<PAGE>

      11.4 Payment of Costs; Discharge of Liens. Tenant shall pay promptly when
due the entire cost of constructing any Subsequent Alterations and Improvements
so that the Premises shall at all times be free of any liens for labor and
materials. If any such lien should be recorded or should otherwise attach
against the Premises, Tenant shall discharge or bond such lien within 30 days.

      11.5 Inspections. Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, to inspect Tenant's work from time to time throughout the course of
construction in order to determine whether or not such work complies with the
requirements of this Article XI.

      11.6 Landlord's Representatives. Landlord may hire architects, engineers,
consultants and other qualified professionals to assist it in making all
reviews, inspections and decisions which Landlord is required or entitled to
make hereunder. Such persons shall have the same access to the Premises as
Landlord has pursuant to Sections 10.6 and 11.5, and shall be entitled to read
and review the same documents and materials which Landlord is entitled to
receive and review hereunder.

      11.7 Landlord Not Responsible for Tenant's Work. No approval given by
Landlord, or failure by Landlord to raise any objection, pursuant this Article
XI or otherwise shall constitute a representation, warranty or acknowledgment
that the element approved or not objected to is in compliance with Applicable
Laws, properly designed or constructed or fit for its intended purpose, or that
the person approved or not objected to is qualified for the given job or task.
All judgments and determinations with respect to such matters shall remain the
sole responsibility of Tenant. Landlord shall not be a party to any contract for
construction of any Subsequent Alterations and Improvements or other work by
Tenant on the Premises, nor shall Landlord have any obligation or liability to
any of Tenant's contractors, subcontractors or any other party with respect to
such construction or work, whether under any such contract or otherwise.

      11.8 Ownership. All Subsequent Alterations and Improvements constructed on
the Premises by Tenant shall, during the Term or until the earlier termination
of this Lease, be the property of Tenant, subject at all times, however, to the
provisions, terms and conditions hereof. Upon the expiration of the Term or such
earlier termination, those of such Alterations and Improvements which Tenant is
required or allowed to leave on the Premises pursuant to Section 16.1 shall pass
to and become Landlord's property, and those removed pursuant to said Section
shall remain Tenant's property.

      11.9 Landlord's Expenses. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord to review plans and
specifications, make inspections, engage qualified advisors pursuant to Section
11.6 and similar matters with respect to any Subsequent Alterations and
Improvements proposed by Tenant. Tenant shall pay such reimbursement within 30
days after receipt of billing statements from Landlord therefor.

make Permitted Assignments/Subleasings to Tenant Affiliates and Tenant
Successors pursuant to Section 12.2 and Permitted Assignments of Surplus Space
pursuant to Section 12.3 without Landlord's consent. Tenant shall not otherwise
assign, transfer, mortgage or pledge this Lease or grant a security interest in
Tenant's rights hereunder, or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or
suffer or permit this Lease or the leasehold interest created hereby to be
assigned, transferred or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily,
involuntarily or by operation of law, unless Tenant first obtains Landlord's
written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Landlord shall approve or deny any request by Tenant to assign,
sublease or make any other transfer as aforesaid by written notice back to
Tenant within 30 days after receipt of Tenant's said request and the information
with respect thereto required by Section 12.4. Landlord shall be deemed to have
approved the requested transfer if it fails so to respond within said 30 days.

      12.2 Permitted Assignments and Subleasings to Tenant Affiliates and Tenant
Successors. Tenant may, as a matter of right and without having to obtain
Landlord's consent, from time to time assign this Lease or sublease all or any
part of the Premises to a Tenant Affiliate or a Tenant Successor (a "Permitted
Assignment/Subleasing to a Tenant Affiliate or a Tenant Successor") which has
the reasonable financial capability to pay and perform Tenant's obligations
hereunder and which will continue to use the Premises for the Permitted Uses.
Tenant shall nevertheless give Landlord notice of any such assignment or
subleasing. Notwithstanding any such assignment or subleasing, Tenant shall
remain primarily liable to Landlord hereunder, as provided in Section 12.5.

      12.3 Permitted Subleasings of Surplus Space. Tenant may, as a matter of
right and without having to obtain Landlord's consent, from time to time
sublease up to 25,000 square feet in the aggregate of space in the Premises
which Tenant does not then need for operation of its business to one or more
unrelated third party subtenants (a "Permitted Subleasing of Surplus Space").
Tenant shall nevertheless give Landlord notice of any such subleasing.
Notwithstanding any such subleasing, Tenant shall remain primarily liable to
Landlord hereunder, as provided in Section 12.5. Any subleasings to unrelated
third parties in excess of 25,000 square feet in the aggregate shall not be
Permitted Subleasings of Surplus Space but shall instead require Landlord's
prior written consent as provided in Section 12.1.

      12.4 Information. Tenant shall for each proposed assignment or subleasing,
including a Permitted Assignment/Subleasing to a Tenant Affiliate or Tenant
Successor or a Permitted Subleasing of Surplus Space, provide Landlord with the
(a) name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, (b) copies of
applicable assignment or sublease instruments, and (c) reasonable financial
information which reasonably and accurately presents the financial condition of
the proposed assignee or subtenant. Landlord shall not be obligated to pass on
any proposed assignment or subleasing until it has received and had the 30 days
allowed by Section 12.1 to review all such information and documentation.

      12.5 Transfer in Violation Void; Tenant's Liability Continues. Any
attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, pledge, grant of security interest,
sublease or other encumbrance, except as permitted by this Article XII, shall be
void. Any assignment, transfer, mortgage, pledge, grant of security interest,
sublease or other encumbrance which is so permitted shall be subject to, and the
assignee, transferee, mortgagee, pledgee, grantee or sublessee thereunder shall
be bound by, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease. No
assignment, transfer, mortgage, grant of security interest, sublease or other
encumbrance, whether or not permitted or approved, and no indulgence granted by
Landlord to any assignee, sublease or occupant shall in any way impair either
Tenant's continuing primary liability hereunder, which after an assignment or
subletting shall be joint and several with the assignee or sublessee. No consent
by Landlord to any particular assignment, transfer, mortgage, pledge, grant of a
security interest, sublease or encumbrance shall be construed as a consent to
any other assignment, transfer, mortgage, pledge, grant of a security interest,
sublease or encumbrance, nor as a waiver of Tenant's obligation to obtain
Landlord's consent to any other such transaction in any other instance or case.

      12.6 Excess Subleasing Rent. In the event that Tenant should receive any
subleasing rent in excess of the pro rata rent due hereunder for the subleased
space, then, except in the case of a Permitted Assignment/Subleasing to a Tenant
Affiliate or Tenant Successor, Tenant shall pay 25% of such excess, as and when
received, to Landlord. Tenant may retain the remaining 75% of such excess. In
the case of a Permitted Assignment/Subleasing to a Tenant Affiliate or Tenant
Successor, Tenant may retain the entire amount of such excess.

            13.4.3 Workmen's Compensation Insurance. Workmen's compensation
insurance with statutory limits covering all of Tenant's employees working on
the Premises.

            13.4.4 Employer's Liability Insurance. Employer's liability
insurance in amounts at least equal to the commercial general liability
insurance limits set forth in Section 1.1 or such higher limits as may be
applicable for such insurance under Section 13.4.2.

            13.4.5 Insurance During Construction. At all times during which
Tenant undertakes any Subsequent Alterations and Improvements or other
construction or work on or about the Premises, (a) all-risk builder's risk
insurance in such amount necessary to provide full replacement coverage to the
Premises as improved by such construction or work and (b) owner's contingent or
protective liability insurance with respect to such construction in amounts at
least equal to the commercial general liability insurance limits set forth in
Section 1.1 or such higher limits as may be applicable under Section 13.4.2.
Tenant shall further cause its contractors and subcontractors for any such work
to take out and maintain workmen's compensation insurance with statutory limits
covering all of their employees working on the Premises or otherwise involved in
such construction.

            13.4.6 Automobile Liability Insurance. At all times during which
Tenant or its contractors bring or operate motor vehicles on, from or about the
Premises, motor vehicle liability insurance on all of Tenant's and its
contractors' motor vehicles, in amounts at least equal to the commercial general
liability insurance limits set forth in Section 1.1 or such higher limits as may
be applicable for such insurance under Section 13.4.2.

            13.4.7 Additional Insurance. Such further insurance in such amounts
as Landlord or any Mortgagee of the Premises may from time to time reasonably
require, provided that (a) such insurance is, when required, customarily carried
in the MetroWest/Route 495 area in Middlesex and Worcester Counties,
Massachusetts on properties similar to the Premises and used for similar
purposes, and (b) such amounts are, when required, not higher than the amounts
customarily carried in said MetroWest/Route 495 on properties similar to the
Premises and used for similar purposes.

      13.5 General Requirements. All policies required under this Article XIII
shall be obtained from responsible companies qualified to do business in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in good standing therein. All such companies
must be rated A or higher by A.M. Best, or have a comparable rating from a
comparable rating organization. Tenant shall be named as the insured and
Landlord as an additional insured under all Tenant's liability policies. Each
Party shall be named as an additional insured under any of the other Party's
fire and property damage policies covering any property in which the first said
Party holds an interest, to the extent of such interest or as such interest
appears. Each Party shall furnish the other with original certificates and
copies of all policies prior to the beginning of the Term hereof and of each
renewal policy at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the policy it renews.
Each policy carried by one party on which the other Party is an additional
insured (a) shall be non-cancelable with respect to the other Party's interest
without at least 30 days' prior written notice thereto and (b) shall include a
cross liability coverage endorsement. In the event provision for any such
insurance is to be by a blanket insurance policy, the policy shall allocate a
specific amount of coverage to the


                                      -53-
<PAGE>

Premises, which allocation shall be sufficient in amount to satisfy the
requirements of this Article XIII.

      13.6 Non-Subrogation Provisions. All property damage insurance which is
carried by either Party with respect to the Premises, whether or not required,
shall include provisions which either designate the other Party as one of the
insureds or deny to the insurer acquisition by subrogation of rights of recovery
against the other Party to the extent such rights have been waived by the
insured Party prior to occurrence of loss or injury, insofar as and to the
extent that such provisions may be effective without making it impossible to
obtain insurance coverage from responsible companies qualified to do business in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (even though extra premium may result
therefrom). In the event that extra premium is payable by either Party as a
result of this provision, the other Party shall reimburse the Party paying such
premium the amount of such extra premium. If at the request of one Party, this
non-subrogation provision is waived as to such Party, then the obligation of
reimbursement by such Party shall cease for such period of time as such waiver
shall be effective, but nothing contained in this Section 13.6 shall derogate
from or otherwise affect releases elsewhere herein contained of either Party for
claims. Each Party shall be entitled to have duplicates or certificates of any
policies containing such provisions. Each Party hereby waives all rights of
recovery against the other for loss or injury against which the waiving Party is
protected by insurance containing said non-subrogation provisions, reserving,
however, any rights with respect to any excess of loss or injury over the amount
recovered by such insurance.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                                    Casualty

      14.1 Right to Terminate. In the event that all or any portion of the
Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and such damage or
destruction exceeds 50% of the value of the Premises, then either Party may
terminate this Lease by notice to the other within 30 days after such damage or
destruction.

      14.2 Restoration. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or
other casualty and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 14.1
(whether because neither Party elects to terminate or because such damage is
below the threshold giving the Parties the right to terminate), then Landlord
shall promptly and diligently repair and restore the Premises (including without
limitation (a) Tenant's Specialized Leasehold Improvements/Base Building
Upgrades and (b) any Subsequent Alterations and Improvements by Tenant which are
Base Building Elements) as nearly as practicable to their condition prior to
such damage or destruction, and in any event to a condition reasonably suitable
for Tenant's use and occupancy, but subject and only to the extent allowed by
(x) then Applicable Laws and (y) the net insurance proceeds available to
Landlord on account of such damage or destruction after deducting the reasonable
costs of collecting such proceeds. The Base Rent, Additional Rent and other
charges due from Tenant hereunder shall be equitably abated until Landlord
restores the Premises to a condition reasonably suitable for Tenant's use and
occupancy. If Landlord fails to do so within one year after the occurrence of
such damage or destruction, then except only to the


                                      -54-
<PAGE>

extent such failure is due to Acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, flood,
hurricane, other unusually severe weather event or shortages of materials and
equipment, but otherwise regardless of the reason for such failure (and
including without limitation where such failure is due to the unavailability or
insufficiency of insurance proceeds or due to any of the other so-called force
majeure events pursuant to Section 25.5), Tenant may terminate this Lease by
notice to Landlord within 30 days after the expiration of such year. Landlord
shall not be obligated to restore any of Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment or
Subsequent Alterations and Improvements constructed by Tenant in the Premises
which are not Base Building Elements. Rather, Tenant shall be responsible for
repair and restoration of any such TFE or Subsequent Alterations and
Improvements.

                                   ARTICLE XV

                                 Eminent Domain

      15.1 Taking of Entire Premises. In the event that the entire Premises are
taken by condemnation or eminent domain, then this Lease shall terminate on the
date when title passes to the taking authority, and Base Rent, Additional Rent
and all other charges due from Tenant hereunder shall be pro rated and paid to
such date.

      15.2 Partial Taking - Termination. In the event that only a portion of the
Premises are so taken but such portion exceeds 50% of the value thereof, then
either Party may terminate this Lease by notice to the other within 30 days
after the date title passes to the taking authority, and Base Rent, Additional
Rent and all other charges due from Tenant hereunder shall be pro-rated and paid
to such date in the same manner as provided in Section 15.1.

      15.3 Partial Taking - Restoration. In the event that only a portion of the
Premises are so taken but this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 15.2
(whether because neither Party elects to terminate or because the taking is
below the threshold giving the Parties the right to terminate), then Landlord
shall promptly and diligently repair and restore the Premises or what remains
thereof (including without limitation (a) Tenant's Specialized Improvements/Base
Building Upgrades and (b) any Subsequent Alterations and Improvements by Tenant
which are Base Building Elements) as nearly as practicable to their condition
before such taking and in any event to a condition reasonably suitable for
Tenant's use and occupancy, but subject and only to the extent permitted by (x)
then Applicable Laws and (y) the net takings award available to Landlord after
deducting the reasonable costs of obtaining such award. The Base Rent,
Additional Rent and any other charges due from Tenant hereunder shall be
equitably abated until Landlord restores the Premises to a condition reasonably
suitable for Tenant's use and occupancy, and in the case of a taking which
permanently reduced the Premises, said Base Rent, Additional Rent and other
charges shall be equitably abated for the remainder of the Term in just
proportion to such permanent reduction. If Landlord fails so to restore the
Premises within one year after the occurrence of such taking, then except only
to the extent such failure is due to Acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire,
flood, hurricane, other unusually severe weather event or shortages of materials
and equipment, but otherwise regardless of the reason for such failure (and
including without limitation where such failure is due to the unavailability or
insufficiency of any net takings award or due to any of the other so-


                                      -55-
<PAGE>

called force majeure events pursuant to Section 25.5), Tenant may terminate this
Lease by notice to Landlord within 30 days after the expiration of such year.
Landlord shall not be obligated to restore any of Tenant's Fixtures and
Equipment or Subsequent Alterations and Improvements constructed by Tenant which
are not Base Building Elements. Rather, Tenant shall be responsible for repair
and restoration of any such TFE and Subsequent Alterations and Improvements.

      15.4 Eminent Domain Award. All awards, damages and compensation on account
of any such taking of the Premises (including (a) Tenant's Specialized
Improvements/Base Building Upgrades and (b) any Subsequent Alterations and
Improvements made by Tenant which are Base Building Elements) shall belong and
be payable to Landlord. Tenant may, however, make a separate claim to the taking
authority for any of (a) Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment and Subsequent
Alterations and Improvements made by Tenant which are not Base Building
Elements, (b) Tenant's other trade fixtures, equipment and personal property
which were taken, and (c) relocation expenses.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

                                    Yield Up

      16.1 Yield Up. At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of
this Lease, Tenant shall surrender all keys to the Premises, remove all of its
furnishings, fixtures, equipment, materials, supplies, inventory, effects and
other personal property in or on the Premises, remove any of Tenant's Fixtures
and Equipment and Subsequent Alterations and Improvements made by Tenant which
are not Base Building Elements, repair any damage caused by such removal, leave
Tenant's Specialized Improvements/Base Building Upgrades and any Subsequent
Alterations and Improvements which are Base Building Elements, remove all of its
signs wherever located, repair all damage caused by any such removal and yield
up the Premises (including Tenant's Specialized Improvements/Base Building
Upgrades and any Subsequent Alterations and Improvements which are Base Building
Elements) in the same good, clean, first class, working and tenantable order,
condition and repair in which Tenant is obliged to keep and maintain the
Premises by the provisions of this Lease excluding (a) reasonable wear and tear,
(b) damage by fire or other casualty or taking by condemnation or eminent domain
(which are instead governed by Articles XIV and XV hereof) and (c) elements
which are Landlord's responsibility to maintain and repair under the provisions
hereof. Any of Tenant's aforesaid property not so removed shall be deemed
abandoned and may be retained by Landlord or may be removed and disposed of by
Landlord in such manner as Landlord shall determine. Tenant shall pay Landlord
the entire cost and expense incurred by Landlord in effecting such removal and
disposition and in making any incidental repairs and replacements to the
Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right upon the
expiration or termination of this Lease to remove all of its trade fixtures,
furnishings and equipment from the Premises, provided that Tenant is not then in
default hereunder after any applicable notice and cure periods and that Tenant
complies with all requirements of this Section 16.1 in making such removals.

      16.2 Substitutions. In the case of any of Tenant's Specialized
Improvements/Base Building Upgrades or Subsequent Alterations and Improvements
which are Base Building


                                      -56-
<PAGE>

Elements similar in nature to TSI/BBU, Tenant may, at its option, prior to
surrendering the Premises, remove such improvements or the relevant components
thereof and replace the same with standard versions.

      16.3 Holdover. For each day after the expiration of the Term, or the
earlier termination of this Lease, and prior to Tenant's performance of its
obligation to yield up the Premises under this Article, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord as rent an amount equal to 150% of the Base Rent computed on a daily
basis, together with all Additional Rent and other charges payable with respect
to each such day. Any such holding over by Tenant shall be a tenancy at
sufferance only.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

                                    Defaults

      17.1 Events of Default. (a) If Tenant fails to make any payment of Base
Rent, Additional Rent or other charges when due hereunder and does not cure such
default within ten days after notice thereof from Landlord (provided, however
that after the Interim First Mortgage Loan has been replaced by the Permanent
First Mortgage Loan, Tenant shall be entitled to notices of only two such events
of non-payment in any calendar year, and after notices for two such events have
been properly given, then for the balance of the subject year Tenant shall be in
default if it fails to make any such payment within ten days after such payment
was due, without any requirement of notice before such ten days begins to run),
or (b) if Tenant breaches any of its other obligations hereunder and does not
cure such default within 30 days after notice thereof from Landlord, or, if such
default is not reasonably susceptible of cure within 30 days, if Tenant does not
commence to cure within said 30 days and thereafter diligently prosecute such
cure to completion or (c) if Tenant or any present or future guarantor of all or
any portion of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (a "Guarantor") becomes
insolvent or fails to pay its debts as they fall due, or (d) if a trust mortgage
or assignment is made by Tenant or any Guarantor proposes a composition,
arrangement, reorganization or recapitalization with creditors, or (e) if the
leasehold estate under this Lease or any substantial part of the property of
Tenant or of any Guarantor is taken on execution, or by other process of law, or
is attached or subjected to any other involuntary encumbrance and such property
is not reconveyed to Tenant or Guarantor or such attachment or encumbrance is
not dissolved within 60 days thereafter, or (f) if a receiver, trustee,
custodian, guardian, liquidator or similar agent is appointed with respect to
Tenant or any Guarantor, or if any such person or a mortgagee, secured party or
other creditor takes possession of the Premises or of any substantial part of
the property of Tenant or of any Guarantor, and, in either case, if such
appointment or taking of possession is not terminated within 60 days after it
first occurs, or (g) if a petition is filed by or with the consent of Tenant or
of any Guarantor under any federal or state law concerning bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, or relief from creditors, or (h) if a
petition is filed against Tenant or against any Guarantor under any federal or
state law concerning bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, or
relief from creditors, and such petition is not dismissed within 60 days
thereafter, or (i) if Tenant or any Guarantor which is a corporation or other
entity dissolves or is dissolved or liquidates or adopts any plan or commences
any proceeding, the result of which is intended to include dissolution or
liquidation (each of the foregoing, an "Event of Default"), then, and in any of


                                      -57-
<PAGE>

such cases, Landlord and the agents and servants of Landlord lawfully may, in
addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any preceding breach of
covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter and without demand or notice and
with or without process of law (forcibly, if necessary) enter into and upon the
Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole or mail a notice of
termination addressed to Tenant, and repossess the same as of Landlord's former
estate and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant and remove
its and their effects (forcibly, if necessary) without being deemed guilty of
any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which might
otherwise be used for arrears of rent or prior breach of covenant, and upon such
entry or mailing as aforesaid this Lease shall terminate, Tenant hereby waiving
all statutory rights (including without limitation rights of redemption, if any,
to the extent such rights may be lawfully waived) and Landlord, without notice
to Tenant, may store Tenant's effects, and those of any person claiming through
or under Tenant at the expense and risk of Tenant, and, if Landlord so elects,
may sell such effects at public auction or private sale and apply the net
proceeds to the payment of all sums due to Landlord from Tenant, if any, and pay
over the balance, if any, to Tenant.

      17.2 Remedies. In the event that this Lease is terminated under any of the
provisions contained in Section 17.1 or shall be otherwise terminated for breach
of any obligation of Tenant, Tenant covenants to pay forthwith to Landlord, as
compensation, the excess of the total rent reserved for the residue of the Term
over the rental value of the Premises for said residue. In calculating the rent
reserved there shall be included, in addition to the Base Rent and Additional
Rent, the value of all other considerations agreed to be paid or performed by
Tenant for said residue. Tenant further covenants as additional and cumulative
obligations after any such termination to pay punctually to Landlord all the
sums and to perform all the obligations which Tenant covenants in this Lease to
pay and to perform in the same manner and to the same extent and at the same
time as if this Lease had not been terminated. In calculating the amounts to be
paid by Tenant pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence Tenant shall be
credited with the portion of any amount paid to Landlord as compensation as in
this Section 15.2 provided, allocable to the corresponding portion of the Term
and also with the net proceeds of any rent obtained by Landlord by reletting the
Premises, after deducting all Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with
such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage
commissions, fees for legal services and expenses of preparing the Premises for
such reletting, it being agreed by Tenant that Landlord may (a) relet the
Premises or any part or parts thereof, for a term or terms which may at
Landlord's option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant such
concessions and free rent as Landlord in its reasonable judgment considers
advisable or necessary to relet the same, (b) make such alterations, repairs and
decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its reasonable judgment considers
advisable or necessary to relet the same, and (c) keep the Premises vacant
unless and until Landlord is able to rent the Premises to a Tenant which is at
least as desirable and financially responsible as Tenant is on the date of this
Lease, on terms not less favorable to Landlord than those of this Lease.
Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to relet the Premises consistent with the
aforesaid parameters.

      Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, limit or prejudice the
right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings under any federal or
state law relating to


                                      -58-
<PAGE>

bankruptcy or insolvency or reorganization or arrangement, an amount equal to
the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when,
and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or
not the amount be greater than the amount of the loss or damages referred to
above.

      Landlord shall further have, in the event of a default by Tenant in its
obligations to pay Landlord any Operating Costs (including Real Estate Taxes)
with respect to the Premises as required by Article VII, the limited rights of
offset against the Second Mortgage (which is held by Tenant or a Tenant
Affiliate) set forth in Section 19.1.

      17.3 Landlord's Right to Cure Defaults. Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated to, at any time following 30 days' prior notice to Tenant, except in
cases of emergency when no notice shall be required, cure any default by Tenant
under this Lease, and whenever Landlord does so, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in effecting such
cure, as Additional Rent, within 30 days after billing to Tenant therefor,
together with interest thereon at the Late Payment/Default Rate from the date of
expenditure by Landlord to the date of repayment by Tenant.

      17.4 Tenant's Right to Cure Defaults. Tenant may, but shall not be
obligated to, at any time following 30 days prior notice to Landlord, except in
cases of emergency when no notice shall be required, cure any default by
Landlord under this Lease which materially adversely affects Tenant's use and
occupancy of the Premises, and whenever Tenant does so, Landlord shall reimburse
or credit Tenant for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by Tenant in effecting such cure, within 30 days after
billing to Landlord therefor, together with interest thereon at the Late
Payment/Default Rate from the date of expenditure by Tenant to the date of
repayment by Landlord. If Landlord fails to reimburse or credit Tenant as
aforesaid, Tenant may offset such costs and expenses against the Monthly
Landlord's Return on Equity Component (but not the Monthly Debt Service
Component) of its next monthly payment or payments of Base Rent due hereunder,
continuing month to month until the amounts due Tenant have been fully credited
and accounted for.

      17.5 No Accord and Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum
than the Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge then due shall be deemed
to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent or charge
due, unless Landlord elects by notice to Tenant to credit such sum against the
most recent installment due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check
or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other charge be
deemed a waiver, an agreement or an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease
provided.

      17.6 Effect of Waivers of Default. Any consent or permission by either
Party to any act or omission which otherwise would be a breach of any covenant
or condition herein, or any waiver by either Party of the breach of any covenant
or condition herein, shall not in any way be held or construed (unless expressly
so declared) to operate so as to impair the continuing obligation of any
covenant or condition herein, or otherwise, except as to the specific instance,
operate to permit similar acts or omissions. The failure of either Party to seek
redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any
covenant or


                                      -59-
<PAGE>

condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor
prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation,
from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by
Landlord of rent or the receipt by either Party of any other payment, with
knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to
have been a waiver by the receiving Party of such breach unless such waiver be
in writing signed by the party to be charged. No consent or waiver, express or
implied, by either Party to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be
construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any
other agreement or duty.

      17.7 Remedies Cumulative. Any and all rights and remedies which either
Party may have under this Lease, and at law and equity, for default by the
other, shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other,
and any two or more of any such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same
time insofar as permitted by law.

                                  ARTICLE XVIII

                                    Mortgages

      18.1 Rights of Mortgagees; Limitation of Liabilities. Until the Mortgagee
under any Mortgage of the Premises shall enter and take possession for the
purposes of foreclosure or otherwise, such Mortgagee shall have only such rights
of Landlord as are necessary to preserve the integrity of this Lease as
security. Upon entry and taking possession of the Premises for the purpose of
foreclosure or otherwise, such Mortgagee shall have all the rights of Landlord.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, no such
Mortgagee shall be liable to perform or liable in damages for failure to
perform, any of the obligations of Landlord unless and until such Mortgagee
shall enter and take possession of the Premises for the purpose of foreclosure
or otherwise. Upon entry for the purpose of foreclosure or otherwise, such
Mortgagee shall be liable to perform all of the obligations of Landlord accruing
from and after such entry, subject to and with the benefit of the provisions of
Section 25.4, provided that a discontinuance of any foreclosure proceeding shall
be deemed a conveyance under said provisions to the owner of the Premises. No
Mortgagee shall ever be liable to perform any obligations of Landlord accruing
before such entry. No Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge shall be
paid more than ten days prior to the due dates thereof and payments made in
violation of this provision shall (except to the extent that such payments are
actually received by a Mortgagee in possession or in the process of foreclosing
its Mortgage) be a nullity as against such Mortgagee, and Tenant shall be liable
for the amount of such payments to such Mortgagee. The covenants and agreements
contained in this Lease with respect to the rights, powers and benefit of a
Mortgagee (including, without limitation, the covenants and agreements contained
in Section 25.4) constitute a continuing offer to any person, corporation or
other entity, which by accepting a Mortgage subject to this Lease, assumes the
obligations herein set forth with respect to such Mortgagee; such Mortgagee is
hereby constituted a party to this Lease as an obligee hereunder to the same
extent as though its name were written hereon as such; and such Mortgagee shall
be entitled to enforce such provisions in its own name. Tenant agrees on request
of Landlord to execute and deliver


                                      -60-
<PAGE>

from time to time any reasonable agreement which may be necessary to implement
the provisions of this Section 18.1.

      18.2 Subordination to Mortgages. This Lease is subject and subordinate to
the Interim First Mortgage Loan and the Second Mortgage Loan referred to in
Section 1.1. This Lease shall further be subject and subordinate to any future
Mortgages of the Premises, (a) unless the Mortgagee thereunder shall elect to
subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease, which it may at its option do by filing
a notice of such election with the applicable Registry of Deeds and giving
Tenant a copy of such notice, whereupon this Lease shall have priority over such
Mortgage and (b) as to any such Mortgage where the Mortgagee does not make such
election, provided that such Mortgagee enters into a Mortgage Subordination,
Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement with Tenant. Either Party or Mortgagee
may record such Mortgage SNDA in the applicable Registry of Deeds.

                                   ARTICLE XIX

                         Additional Provisions Regarding
                              Second Mortgage Loan

      19.1 Limited Offset. In the event that Tenant should default in its
obligation to pay Landlord any Operating Costs (including Real Estate Taxes)
with respect to the Premises as required by Article VII, then Landlord may
offset one-half of any amounts which Landlord pays for such costs out of its own
resources, against the outstanding balance owed by Landlord to Second Mortgage
Lender (which is either Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant) under the Second
Mortgage, up to a maximum offset of $750,000 in the aggregate over the Term
hereof.

      19.2 Repayment. The Second Mortgage Loan shall mature, and Landlord shall
pay Second Mortgage Lender the then entire outstanding balance of principal,
interest and other charges due under the Second Mortgage Loan, after 15 years or
such earlier time as provided in the Second Mortgage Loan Documents.

                                   ARTICLE XX

                            Phase II Expansion Option

      20.1 Phase II Project; Tenant Option. Phase II Landlord (an affiliate of
Landlord) presently leases the Phase II Land from Ground Landlord for a 99 year
term pursuant to the Phase II Ground Lease. Provided that (a) this Lease is in
force and effect at the time of Tenant exercises such option, (b) no Event of
Default exists hereunder which Tenant has failed to cure after any applicable
notice and grace periods, either at the time such option is exercised or on the
Closing Date with respect thereto and (c) Tenant (or, if applicable, the subject
Tenant Affiliate), as Interim First Mortgage Lender or Second Mortgage Lender,
is not in default under the Interim First Mortgage Loan or the Second Mortgage
Loan after any applicable notice and cure periods at either said time, Tenant

      20.2 Order. Tenant may exercise the Phase II Expansion Option and the
Phase III Expansion Option set forth in Article XXI in either order, the Phase
II Option first and the Phase III Option second or vice versa.

      20.3 Exercise. If Tenant has not yet exercised the Phase III Expansion
Option, Tenant must exercise the Phase II Expansion Option by written notice to
Phase II Landlord no later than July 1, 2002. If Tenant previously timely

Phase II Expansion Option shall instead be July 1, 2004. Phase II Landlord shall
reserve the Phase II Land for Tenant's possible future expansion until the
applicable such time.

      20.4 Phase II Lease. If Tenant timely exercises the Phase II Expansion
Option, Phase II Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a lease for the Phase II
Premises (the "Phase II Lease") providing for Base Rent as set forth in Schedule
B2, but otherwise on substantially the same provisions, terms and conditions as
contained in this Lease, mutatis mutandis given the specific design and cost of
the Phase II Project, and provided further that (a) Tenant shall not be
obligated to provide either first or second mortgage financing for the Phase II
Project, but rather Phase II Landlord shall make reasonable and diligent efforts
to obtain such financing from conventional lending sources (i) on a 75%
loan-to-value basis, (ii) with a term of not less than ten years, (iii) with an
amortization schedule based on level payments of principal and interest for 25
years and (iv) at then applicable market interest rates for such loans, given
Tenant's financial condition and creditworthiness, (b) the terms of any such
financing must be approved by Tenant (since the base rent to be paid by Tenant
shall be calculated based on the terms of such financing), which consent shall
not be unreasonable withheld or delayed, (c) if Tenant disapproves the financing
obtained by Phase II Landlord, or if Phase II Landlord is unable, despite such
reasonable and diligent efforts, to obtain financing because of the financial
condition of Tenant, then, at Tenant's option, either (i) Tenant may finance the
Phase II Project on a substantially similar basis to its first mortgage
financing of the original Project or (ii) the Phase II Expansion Option shall
terminate, (d) unless Tenant elects to provide financing pursuant to the
aforesaid clause, the only funding Tenant shall provide for the project shall be

Equipment comparable to those under this Lease, equal to the cost of such
improvements and work as they may be under the Phase II Project and (e) Tenant
shall pay Phase II Landlord a security deposit with respect to the Phase II
Lease in such amount as is then generally required under prevailing market
conditions in the MetroWest/Route 495 area of Middlesex and Worcester Counties,

financial condition is comparable to that of Tenant.

      20.5 Decision on Financing. Phase II Landlord shall keep Tenant fully and
timely informed of Phase II Landlord's efforts to obtain financing for the Phase

to Section 20.3 above is July 1, 2002, by no later than November 1, 2002, or (b)
in the alternative, if the exercise deadline for the Phase II Expansion Option

2004, give Phase II Landlord notice that Tenant approves the financing Phase II
Landlord has obtained, or if it disapproves such financing whether or not Tenant
shall itself provide financing pursuant to Section 20.4 clause (c), or if Phase
II Landlord has been unable to obtain financing, whether Tenant will provide
such financing under said clause. If Tenant fails to give Phase II Landlord such
notice by the applicable date, then Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected any
financing which Phase II Landlord obtained and/or declined to provide financing
itself, and the Phase II Expansion Option shall lapse pursuant to Section 20.4
(c)(ii) above.

                                   ARTICLE XXI

Lease, as set forth in this Article XXI and subject to the limitations specified

Option, Tenant must exercise the Phase III Expansion Option by written notice to
Phase III Landlord no later than July 1, 2002. If Tenant previously timely

Phase III Expansion Option shall instead be July 1, 2004. Phase III Landlord
shall reserve the Phase III Land for Tenant's possible future expansion until
such time.

      21.3 Phase III Lease. If Tenant timely exercises the Phase III Expansion
Option, Phase III Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a lease for the Phase III
Premises (the "Phase III Lease") providing for Base Rent as set forth in
Schedule B3, but otherwise on substantially the same provisions, terms and
conditions as contained in this Lease, mutatis mutandis given the specific
design and cost of the Phase III Project, and provided further that (a) Tenant

with an amortization schedule based on level payments of principal and interest
for 25 years and (iv) at then applicable market interest rates for such loans,
given Tenant's financial condition and creditworthiness, (b) the terms of any
such financing must be approved by Tenant (since the base rent to be paid by
Tenant shall be calculated based on the terms of such financing), which consent

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

unable, despite such reasonable and diligent efforts, to obtain financing
because of the financial condition of Tenant, then, at Tenant's option, either
(i) Tenant may finance the Phase III Project on a substantially similar basis to
its first mortgage financing of the original Project or (ii) the Phase III
Expansion Option shall terminate, (d) unless Tenant elects to provide financing
pursuant to the aforesaid clause, the only funding Tenant shall provide for the
project shall be a Tenant's Contribution for Tenant's Specialized
Improvements/Base Building Upgrades and a Tenant's Contribution for Installation
of Tenant's Fixtures and Equipment comparable to those under this Lease, equal

respect to the Phase III Lease in such amount as is then generally required

and tenants whose financial condition is comparable to that of Tenant.

      21.4 Decision on Financing. Phase III Landlord shall keep Tenant fully and
timely informed of Phase III Landlord's efforts to obtain financing for the

deemed to have rejected any financing which Phase III Landlord obtained and/or
declined to provide financing itself, and the Phase III Expansion Option shall
lapse pursuant to Section 21.3 (c)(ii) above.

                                  ARTICLE XXII

Research and Development Park from Landlord and the other Collective Owners as
set forth in this Article XXII (the "Purchase Option" or "Option to Purchase").

      22.2 Exercise. To exercise the Purchase Option, Tenant must give Landlord
written notice to such effect (the "Purchase Option Exercise Notice") before or
on the Purchase Option Notification Deadline specified in Section 1.1. If Tenant

for the Office, Research and Development Park calculated as provided in Schedule

      22.4 Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale transaction shall take
place at the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds in Cambridge, Massachusetts at
10:00 a.m. on the 90th day after Tenant's Purchase Option Exercise Notice, or,
if such day is not one on which said registry is open for business, on the next

Date"). Tenant and Landlord may, by mutual written agreement, adjust the Closing
Date to an earlier or later date.

      22.5 Conveyance. Collective Owners shall at the Closing convey the Office,
Research and Development Park to Tenant by executing and delivering a good and

free and clear of all other tenants and occupants except for Tenant and Tenant's
subtenants, if any, (b) in the same condition as it is in on the date of
Tenant's Option Exercise Notice, reasonable wear and tear and conditions caused
by Tenant only excepted and (c) to the extent required below, with any
Qualifying Defects of which Tenant has given Landlord timely notice cured.

      22.6 Payment of Purchase Price. Tenant shall at the Closing pay the
Purchase Price, adjusted as provided in Section 22.13 below, to the Closing
Escrow Agent on behalf of the Collective Sellers by appropriate wire transfer.
Escrow Agent shall then be responsible for (a) first, paying off in full from
such funds any outstanding Mortgages, liens and other encumbrances securing the
payment of money and making any other payments to applicable parties to clear
title pursuant to Section 22.11 and (b), second, distributing any remaining
balance to the Collective Owners in the respective amounts to which each is
entitled.

      22.7 Due Diligence Investigations. Tenant shall prior to the Closing be
entitled to make such Due Diligence Investigations as Tenant may elect with
respect to the Office, Research and Development Park, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense. Collective Owners shall grant Tenant and its representatives access
from time to time to any areas of the Park as to which Tenant does not already
have access by virtue of being Tenant of the Premises, and to Collective Owners'
books and records with respect to the Park, in order to conduct the Due
Diligence Investigations, after reasonable advance notice from Tenant requesting
the same.

      22.8 Notice of Qualifying Defects. If Tenant's Due Diligence
Investigations uncover any Qualifying Defects with respect to the Office,
Research and Development Park to which Tenant wishes to object, Tenant must give
Landlord notice of such defects (a "Defect Notice") no later than 60 days after
Tenant's Purchase Option Exercise Notice (the "Due Diligence Deadline"). Such
notice shall describe the subject Qualifying Defects in reasonable detail.
Tenant may not subsequently raise as objections any Qualifying Defects which
existed on the date of Tenant's Purchase Option Exercise Notice not set forth in
a Defect Notice given to Landlord by the Due Diligence Deadline. Tenant may,
however, raise by subsequent Defect Notices to Landlord at any time up to the
Closing Date Qualifying Defects arising after the date of Tenant's Purchase
Option Exercise Notice. Tenant may not raise as objections any defects with
respect to the Park which are not Qualifying Defects.

<PAGE>

      22.9 Efforts to Cure. Collective Owners shall make reasonable and diligent
efforts to cure by the Closing Date any Qualifying Defects of which Tenant gives
Landlord timely notice, provided, however, that Collective Owners shall not be
obligated to expend more than $400,000 in doing so (other than for discharge of
outstanding Mortgages, liens and other encumbrances securing the payment of
money, which shall be paid off in full out of the Purchase Price pursuant to
Sections 22.6 and 22.11 and shall not count against such $400,000 limit).

      22.10 Failure to Cure; Tenant's Options. If by the Closing Date Collective
Owners shall have been unable or otherwise failed to remove any Qualifying
Defects of which Tenant gave Landlord timely notice, then at Tenant's election
(a) Tenant may withdraw its exercise of the Purchase Option, the purchase and
sale of the Office, Research and Development Park pursuant thereto shall be
canceled and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or (b) the
parties shall proceed with the Closing, Tenant shall accept such title and
condition as Collective Owners shall then be able to deliver and the Purchase
Price shall be equitably reduced to account for the uncured Qualifying Defects,
up to a maximum reduction of $400,000 or the remainder thereof not expanded by
Collective Owners in attempting to cure the subject Qualifying Defects pursuant
to Section 22.9. Collective Owners shall provide Tenant with reasonable
supporting documentation of their expenses incurred in attempting to cure. If
the subject Qualifying Defect, or one of them, is damage to or destruction of
the Office, Research and Development Park by fire or other casualty, or taking
of all or any part of the Park by eminent domain, and Tenant elects to proceed
with the Closing pursuant to this Section 22.10, then Collective Owners shall at
the Closing pay to Tenant or assign to Tenant their rights to any insurance
proceeds or eminent domain awards which they have received or have the right to
receive with respect to such damage, destruction or taking.

      22.11 Use of Purchase Money to Clear Title. To enable Collective Owners to
make conveyance as provided in this Agreement, Collective Owners may, by
appropriate arrangements through the Closing Escrow Agent, use the purchase
money or any portion thereof to clear title of any encumbrances or interests,
provided that (a) the instruments so required to clear title are delivered at
the Closing and recorded with the Deed or (b) reasonable arrangements are made
through the Escrow Agent to procure and record such instruments subsequent to
Closing in accordance with customary local conveyancing and title insurance
practices.

      22.12 Other Closing Documents. Collective Owners shall at the Closing
further execute and deliver to Buyer (a) an affidavit that none of them is a
foreign person within the meaning of Section 1445 of the United States Internal
Revenue Code, (b) a reasonable affidavit to Tenant's title insurance company as
to parties in possession and mechanics liens with respect to the Office,
Research and Development Park, (c) instruments in recordable form establishing
the authority of Collective Owners' officers and representatives to execute the
Deed and other Closing documents on their behalf and (d) such other reasonable
affidavits, certificates and documentary evidence as customarily required of
sellers in connection with real estate closings in Massachusetts.

      22.13 Adjustments. Water and sewer use charges, real estate taxes, fuel
value (if applicable) and other similar applicable items shall be adjusted as of
the Closing Date, giving consideration to Tenant's obligations under this Lease
as to any such items, and the


                                      -66-
<PAGE>

net amount thereof shall be added to or deducted from the Purchase Price, as the
case may be. Collective Owners shall pay the Massachusetts deed stamp tax and
recording fees for any instruments necessary to clear title. Tenant shall pay
the recording fee for the Deed.

      22.14 Tenant's Default. If, having given notice exercising the Option to
Purchase, Tenant shall default in its obligations with respect thereto, Tenant
shall pay the Closing Escrow Agent for the Collective Owners their actual
damages incurred on account of such default up to a maximum aggregate payment to
all Collective Owners together of $400,000. Such payment shall be Collective
Owners' sole and exclusive remedy for any such default by Tenant, and said
$400,000 amount shall be Tenant's total maximum liability for such default.

      22.15 Broker. Any commissions or fees due to the Broker identified in
Section 1.1 with respect to the sale of the Office, Research and Development
Park to Tenant shall be paid out of the Purchase Price prior to distribution to
the Collective Owners. Tenant and Collective Owners each represent and warrant
to the other that they have dealt with no broker or agent with respect to the
Park or Tenant's Purchase Option other than said broker. Tenant and Collective
Owners each agree to defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and
all claims for a brokerage or agent's commission or fee by any broker or agent
other than said Broker arising out of the indemnifying party's dealings with
such other broker or agent. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
Closing.

                                  ARTICLE XXIII

                    Tenant's Right of First Offer to Purchase

      23.1 First Offer. If Tenant does not exercise its Option to Purchase the
Office, Research and Development Park but does exercise either or both the Phase
II Expansion Option or the Phase III Expansion Option, then if at any time
thereafter during the balance of the Term Landlord should wish to sell the Park,
Landlord shall first give Tenant notice stating the purchase price and the other
terms and conditions upon which Landlord and the other Collective Owners propose
to offer the Park to third parties, and shall first offer to sell the Park to
Tenant at such price and upon such terms and conditions (the "First Offer
Notice" or "First Offer"). Tenant shall then have the right, at Tenant's
election, to purchase the Park in accordance with the First Offer ("Tenant's
Right of First Offer to Purchase" or "Right of First Offer") by notice back to
Landlord accepting the First Offer within 30 days after Tenant's receipt of
Landlord's First Offer Notice ("Tenant's Purchase Acceptance Notice" or
"Purchase Acceptance Notice").

      23.2 Acceptance. If Tenant gives Landlord a Purchase Acceptance Notice
within said 30 days, then Landlord shall sell, and cause the other Collective
Owners to sell, the Office, Research and Development Park to Tenant, and Tenant
shall purchase the Park from the Collective Owners at the price (the "First
Offer Purchase Price") and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the First
Offer Notice, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions and procedures set
forth in Article XXII with respect to Tenant's Purchase Option. The Due
Diligence Deadline shall be 60 days after Tenant's Purchase Acceptance Notice,
and the Closing shall be 90 days after such notice.

<PAGE>

      23.3 Tenant's Failure to Accept; Sale by Landlord to Third Party. If
Tenant does not give Landlord a Purchase Acceptance Notice within the aforesaid
30 days, then Landlord and the other Collective Owners shall be free for a
period of 12 months after the expiration of said 30 days to enter into a
purchase and sale agreement with any third party, and 15 months after the
expiration of said 60 days (i.e. 12 months plus an additional three months) to
close said sale and convey the Office, Research and Development Park to the
subject third party by a recorded deed, at a price no lower than 97% of the
price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable to buyer than those set
forth in Landlord's First Offer Notice to Tenant. Any such sale and conveyance
shall be subject to this Lease. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with a reasonable written instrument indicating that Tenant has
declined to exercise its Right of First Offer to Purchase.

      23.4 No Sale Beyond Price, Time Limits without Re-Offer. Landlord and the
other Collective Owners may not (a) enter into a purchase and sale agreement for
the Office, Research and Development Park within the aforesaid 12 month period
or close said sale and convey the Park within the aforesaid 15 month period at a
price lower than 97% of the price or upon terms and conditions more favorable to
buyer than those set forth in Landlord's First Offer Notice to Tenant, nor (b)
if they fail to enter into a purchase and sale agreement within the aforesaid 12
month period or close the sale and convey the Park by recorded deed within the
aforesaid 15 month period, sell the Park at any time thereafter, regardless of
the price, terms and conditions, without in either such instance re-offering to
sell the Park to Tenant in the manner provided in this Article, except only that
Tenant shall have only 15 days to respond to the re-offer (as opposed to 30 in
the case of the original offer).

      23.5 Subsequent Sales. If Landlord and the other Collective Owners sell
the Office, Research and Development Park to a third party in accordance with
this Article, any subsequent sales by their buyer, its successors, any
subsequent buyers, their successors and/or any other party or parties holding
title to the Park or any part thereof or interest therein during the Term shall
not be subject to Tenant's Right of First Offer to Purchase, which shall
terminate upon consummation of the first said sale.

      23.6 Transactions Covered. Tenant's Right of First Offer to Purchase shall
apply to (a) any sale or other conveyance of all or any part of the Office,
Research and Development Park (appropriate pro-rations to be made in the case of
any partial sale, and Tenant's Right of First Offer shall continue to apply to
the unsold remainder of the Park) and (b) any sale of all or a majority of the
stock, partnership, membership or other beneficial interest in Landlord, or any
of the other Collective Owners, whether in a single transaction or sale or group
of transactions, except only for the excluded conveyances specified in Section
23.7.

      23.7 Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant's
Right of First Offer shall not apply with respect to any (a) sale or conveyance
of the Park to a Landlord Affiliate, (b) granting of a Mortgage of the Park or
any part thereof by Landlord or any of the other Collective Owners, (c)
foreclosure of any such Mortgage, acceptance by the subject Mortgagee of a deed
in lieu of foreclosure or other acquisition of title to the Park or any part
thereof by such Mortgagee or any party claiming by, through or under such
Mortgagee in enforcement of its rights under such Mortgage, (d) transfer of
stock,


                                      -68-

partnership interest, membership interest or beneficial interest in Landlord or
any of the other Collective Owners to (i) any stockholder, partner, member or
beneficiary of a Landlord Affiliate, (ii) parent, guardian, grandparent,
father-in-law, mother-in-law, spouse, fiance, child, ward, grandchild, sibling,
brother-in-law, sister-in-law, uncle, aunt, great uncle, great aunt, niece,
nephew, grandnephew, grandniece, cousin or similar family or legal relation of
the transferee or (iii) any trust or similar entity the beneficiaries of which
are any of the foregoing. Tenant's Right of First Offer shall, however, apply to
the first non-excluded sale after any such excluded transfer.

      23.8 No Conveyance during Construction Period. Landlord acknowledges that
Tenant has entered into this Lease in reliance upon Landlord's experience and
expertise in developing commercial real estate. Accordingly, Landlord shall not
sell or convey the Office, Research and Development Park or any part thereof or
assign its obligations under this Lease to any third party, except only for
Mortgagees and related security instruments in connection with financing, until
Landlord has Substantially Completed the Project and the Premises are Ready for
Tenant's Occupancy pursuant to Article IV.

by applicable statutes of limitations or other applicable law.

person or circumstances shall be declared invalid, or unenforceable by the final
ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction having final review, the remaining
terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease and their application
to persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue to
be enforced and recognized as valid agreements of the Parties, and in the place
of such invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be substituted a like,

aforesaid court and most nearly accomplishes the original intention of the
Parties.

                       Description of Tenant's Specialized
                       Improvements/Base Building Upgrades

      Those certain improvements to be constructed in the Building by Landlord,
above and beyond the Base Project, in order to meet the particular requirements
of the Tenant's business, including both specialized additional items and
upgrades to the Base Building Elements (such as enhanced heating, ventilation
and air-conditioning systems, additional height requirements, research
laboratories, and upgraded fire protection and communication and backup
systems). The major items and categories included in the Tenant's Specialized
Improvements/Base Building Upgrades are as follows:

      1. Chemical storage facilities, including all safety systems required in
such regard by Tenant's chemical storage permit from the City of Marlborough.

      2. Incremental base building elements (such as steel, glass, brick, etc.)
resulting from larger than standard floor to floor clearances. The presence of
laboratories require greater volumes of air circulation, therefor requiring
large ducts. Greater floor to floor clearances are necessary to accommodate the
ductwork.

      3. Full height walls (floor deck to floor deck) necessitated by the
presence of laboratory and other areas of greater hazard than in standard
commercial buildings.

      4. Special flooring (special tile and "cleaning friendly" surfaces).

      5. Additional heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) capacity
required by the presence of laboratories and not typically found in commercial
buildings.

      6. Additional electrical capacity necessary to serve laboratory and
support equipment not typically found in commercial buildings.

      7. Specialized plumbing systems (DI water, special waste plumbing
material, etc.) required by the presence of laboratories and not typically found
in commercial buildings.

affixed or placed in the Building (as opposed to being built in) and are
therefore easily removable (as distinguished from Tenant's Specialized
Improvements/Base Building Upgrades, which are not). Tenant's Fixtures and
Equipment are to be procured by the Tenant at its own cost and expense, separate
from the Project, and delivered to Landlord to be installed by Landlord as part
of the Project. The major items and categories of Tenant's Fixtures and
Equipment are as follows:

      1.    Modular furniture.

      2.    Lab casework.

Interest Rate compounded at such intervals as provided under said loan, would
fully amortize such loan over the amortization period specified thereunder.

      (c) Second Mortgage Monthly Debt Service Amount. "Second Mortgage Monthly
Debt Service Amount" shall mean the monthly interest payment due under the
Second Mortgage Loan, calculated at the Second Mortgage Interest Rate.

      (d) Monthly Debt Service Component. "Monthly Debt Service Component" shall
mean the portion of Base Rent consisting of the sum of (i) either the Interim
First Mortgage Monthly Debt Service Amount or Permanent First Mortgage Monthly
Debt Service Amount, whichever is applicable at the given time, plus (ii) the
Second Mortgage Monthly Debt Service Amount.

      (e) Monthly Return on Landlord's Equity Amount. "Monthly Return on
Landlord's Equity Amount" shall mean 20% times the Landlord's Contribution to
Base Project Costs (excluding, however, any Excess Base Project Cost which is

      (f) Interim First Mortgage Interest Rate. "Interim First Mortgage Interest
Rate" shall mean the annual rate of interest under the Term Loan Segment of the
Interim First Mortgage Loan.

      (g) Permanent First Mortgage Interest Rate. "Permanent First Mortgage
Interest Rate" shall mean the annual rate of interest under the Permanent First
Mortgage Loan.

      (h) Second Mortgage Interest Rate. "Second Mortgage Interest Rate" shall
mean the annual rate of interest under the Second Mortgage Loan.

      3. Base Rent-Original Term. The monthly Base Rent during the first through
the tenth Lease Years, inclusive, shall be the sum of (a) either the Interim
First Mortgage Monthly Debt Service Amount or the Permanent First Mortgage
Monthly Debt Service Amount, whichever is applicable at the given time, plus (b)
the Second Mortgage Monthly Debt Service Amount plus (c) the Monthly Return on
Landlord's Equity Amount. The monthly Base Rent during the 11th through 15th
Lease Years, inclusive, shall be the (x) the monthly Base Rent as provided by
the foregoing formula times (y) 1.16.

      4. Limitations regarding Permanent Mortgage Component. In calculating Base
Rent as aforesaid, the Permanent First Mortgage Monthly Debt Service shall be
such debt service specifically and only with respect to the initial Permanent
First Mortgage Loan obtained to refinance the Interim First Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Lease. Once the Base Rent is determined based on
such debt service value, it remains the same for the balance of the original
Lease Term (except only for the aforesaid 16% increase for Lease Years 11-15),
and does not change with any subsequent refinancings of such initial Permanent
First Mortgage Loan. As more particularly set forth in said Section 5.2, the
original principal amount of such initial Permanent First Mortgage Loan shall be
the outstanding balance due under the Interim First Mortgage Loan which it
refinances, and no more.

      5. Confirmation. When the Base Rent has finally been determined pursuant
to this Schedule for the portion of the Term when the Term Loan Segment of the
Interim First Mortgage Loan is applicable and the portion of the Term when the
Permanent First Mortgage Loan is applicable, the Parties shall mutually execute
and deliver a written instrument setting forth and confirming such rent. The
Base Rent for the portion of the Term when the Term Loan Segment of the First
Mortgage Loan is applicable is currently estimated to be $2,906,334 per year
($15.09 per square foot per year x 192,600 rentable square feet in the Building
on the Premises).

      6. Base Rent - Extension Periods. If Tenant should exercise any of its
Options to Extend the Term of the Lease, then the monthly Base Rent during the
subject Extension Period shall be the greater of (a) 95% of the then monthly
fair market rent for the Premises or (b) the monthly Base Rent prevailing under
the Lease for the period immediately prior to the subject Extension Period. The
fair market rent for the Premises for any Extension Period shall be determined
as follows. Landlord and Tenant shall make reasonable and diligent efforts in
good faith to agree in writing on the fair market rent within 30 days after
Tenant's notice exercising the subject Extension Option. If they succeed, then
the fair market rent shall be as established by their agreement. If they do not
succeed, then within


                                      -88-
<PAGE>

60 days after Tenant's exercise notice each shall select an independent real
estate appraiser, and the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser. The
three appraisers shall each independently appraise and determine the fair market
rent of the Premises, and shall deliver their respective reports to both Parties
within 120 days after Tenant's exercise notice. The fair market rent of the
Premises for the subject Extension Period shall then be as follows: first,
average the three appraisals; then disregard the appraisal which deviates the
most from the average; then average the two remaining appraisals. The average of
said two remaining appraisals shall be the fair market rent of the Premises for
the subject Extension Period and shall be binding upon both Landlord and Tenant.
Each appraiser shall be a member in good standing of the American Institute of
Appraisers or a comparable professional association and shall have at least ten
years experience appraising commercial real estate in the MetroWest/Route 495
area. Each Party shall pay the fee of the appraiser it selects. The fee of the
third appraiser shall be shared equally by the Parties. There shall be excluded
in determining the fair market rent any excess value of (x) Tenant's Specialized
Improvements/Base Building Upgrades and any Subsequent Additions and
Improvements made by Tenant of similar nature over (y) the value of standard
items of the subject nature.

Subject Land or Land:                  The particular parcel of land in the
                                       Office, Research and Development Park
                                       described in Schedule DL attached hereto.

      2. Option to Purchase and Right of First Offer. Reference is made to the
Lease dated January 30, 2001 between Landlord as landlord and Tenant as tenant
(the "Sepracor Lease"). A notice of the Lease is being recorded concurrently
herewith at the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds. Pursuant to Article XXII of
the Sepracor Lease, Tenant has the option to purchase the entire Office,
Research and Development Park from Landlord and the other Owners of Interests as
set forth in said Article XXII (the "Purchase Option"). Pursuant to Article
XXIII of the Sepracor Lease, Tenant has a right of first offer to purchase the
entire Office, Research and Development Park which right of first offer entitles
Tenant to notice from Landlord in the event that Landlord wishes to sell the
Park and then the right to purchase the Park at such price and upon such terms
and conditions, as set forth in said Article XXIII of the Sepracor Lease (the
"Right of First Offer").

      By execution and delivery of this Notice, the Landlord and the other
Owners of Interests each ratify and confirm the Purchase Option and the Right of
First Offer and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions thereof. The
Purchase Option and Right of First Offer shall not be affected by any and all
purchase options and rights of first offer in the Ground Lease, the Phase II
Ground Lease or the Phase III Ground Lease, and upon the exercise by Tenant of
the Purchase Option or the Right of First Offer in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Sepracor Lease, each of the Owners of Interests
hereby agrees to convey to Tenant or its designee all of such Collective Owner's
right, title and interest in and to the Park (or such Collective Owner's portion
thereof) as provided in the Purchase Option or right of First Offer, as
applicable.

      As provided in Article XXII of the Sepracor Lease and notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Purchase Option, if not timely
exercised, shall expire on its own terms on January 30, 2004; but (as provided
in Article XXII of the Sepracor Lease) the closing for the purchase and sale of
the Park may occur at a later date if the Purchase Option is timely exercised on
or before January 30, 2004.

                      Form for Ground Lease Subordination,
                     Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement

                                 Subordination,
                     Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement

      This SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT is made and
entered into as of this _____ day of January, 2001, by and among HILLSIDE
SCHOOL, INC., a Massachusetts non-profit corporation ("Ground Landlord"),
WATERFORD PARK, LLC a Massachusetts limited liability company ("Ground Lessee"),
and SEPRACOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Tenant").

                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A.    Ground Landlord has ground leased to Ground Lessee certain parcels of land
      located in Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, including, but
      not limited to, the premises leased pursuant to that certain Ground Lease,
      dated as of January < >, 2001 (the "Ground Lease"), notice of which (the
      "Ground Lease Notice of Lease") was recorded and filed immediately prior
      hereto in the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds (the "Registry").

B.    Ground Lessee as landlord, and the Tenant are the parties of that certain
      Lease dated as of January < >, 2001 (the "Lease"), whereby the Ground
      Lessee demised to the Tenant the premises described in the Lease (the
      "Premises"), notice of which (the "Notice of Lease") was recorded
      immediately prior hereto with the Registry. All capitalized terms defined
      in the Lease that are used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
      given to such terms in the Lease.

C.    The parties hereto desire to enter into this Subordination,
      Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Tenant, the Ground Landlord and the Ground
Lessee hereby covenant and agree as follows:

            1. Consent. Ground Landlord hereby consents to the Lease.

            2. Subordination. Subject to and upon the terms hereof, the Tenant
      hereby agrees with the Ground Lessee that the Lease and all of Tenant's
      right, title and interest as lessee under the Lease shall be subject and
      subordinate in all respects to the Ground Lease and all of Ground Lessee's
      right, title and interest under the Ground Lease (and any amendment,
      renewal, modification, consolidation, or restatement thereof).


                                     -101-
<PAGE>

            3. Non-Disturbance. So long as no default on the part of Tenant
      exists under the Lease and continues beyond the expiration of any
      applicable periods of notice and grace, as would entitle the Ground Lessee
      to terminate the Lease or would cause, without any further action on the
      part of Ground Lessee, the termination of the Lease or would entitle the
      Ground Lessee to dispossess the Tenant thereunder, (i) the Lease shall not
      be terminated, nor shall such Tenant's use, possession or enjoyment of the
      Premises or rights under the Lease be interfered with in any way as a
      result of any termination of the Ground Lease; and (ii) in the event of
      and notwithstanding any such termination of the Ground Lease, (A) the
      Lease shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect and shall continue
      as a direct lease between Ground Landlord and Tenant, (B) Ground Landlord
      shall be bound by and shall pay and perform all of the covenants,
      agreements and obligations of the landlord under the Lease arising after
      the termination of the Ground Lease; (C) Ground Landlord shall recognize
      the Lease and all of Tenant's rights and privileges thereunder and (D)
      Tenant's possession, use and occupancy of the Premises under the Lease,
      and Tenant's rights and privileges under the Lease, shall not be disturbed
      or otherwise adversely affected in any way.

            4. Attornment. Unless the Lease has been terminated in accordance
      with its terms, if the Ground Lease is terminated, Tenant thereunder shall
      be bound to the Ground Landlord under all of the terms, covenants and
      conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof and any
      extensions or renewals thereof which Tenant may effect in accordance with
      any option therefor in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if the
      Ground Landlord were the landlord under the Lease, and, in the event of
      such termination, Tenant does hereby agree to attorn to the Ground
      Landlord, as the landlord under the Lease. Such attornment shall be
      effective and self-operative without the execution of any further
      instruments upon the succession by Ground Landlord to the interest of the
      landlord under the Lease or the termination of the leasehold estate
      created by the Ground Lease. Nevertheless, Tenant shall, from time to
      time, execute and deliver such instruments evidencing such attornment as
      Ground Landlord may require. The respective rights and obligations of
      Ground Landlord and Tenant upon such attornment, to the extent of the then
      remaining balance of the term of the Lease and any extensions and
      renewals, shall be and are the same as now set forth in the Lease.

            5. No Modification of Lease. As between Ground Lessee and Tenant,
      Ground Lessee and Tenant covenant and agree that nothing herein contained
      shall be deemed or construed to modify the Lease. Ground Landlord hereby
      confirms and agrees with Tenant and Ground Lessee that Ground Landlord
      shall remain jointly and severally liable with Ground Lessee under the
      Lease for the performance of the landlord's obligations thereunder
      (including payments to third parties) notwithstanding anything contained
      in the Ground Lease to the contrary, but Ground Landlord's obligations
      under the Lease shall commence only if and when Ground Landlord succeeds
      to Ground Lessee's interest as Landlord under the Lease as provided
      herein.

            6. Title of Paragraphs. The titles of the paragraphs of this
      Agreement are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained
      therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the
      interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this
      agreement.


                                     -102-

            7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
      in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

            8. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
      inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
      and assigns.

            9. No Modification Unless in Writing, Etc. No modification,
      amendment, waiver or release of any provision of this Agreement or of any
      right, obligation, claim or cause of action arising hereunder shall be
      valid or effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom
      the same is sought to be asserted.

            10. Severability. In the event that any provision or provisions of
      this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or
      unenforceable by the final ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction,
      the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby,
      and in the place of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision there
      shall be substituted a like, but valid, legal and enforceable provision
      which most nearly accomplishes the original intention of the parties, as
      evidenced by this Agreement.

            11. Further Assurances. Ground Landlord, Ground Lessee and the
      Tenant from time to time shall execute and deliver at the request of any
      party hereto all instruments that may be reasonably necessary or
      appropriate to evidence their agreements hereunder.

            12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
      counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all such
      counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.
