By occupying the Lab Space for the purpose of conducting the
Permitted Uses therein, Tenant agrees that Landlord's Work has
been Substantially Completed, and that there are no
representations or warranties by Landlord regarding the
condition of the Lab Space or the Science Building. The Lab

C. If Tenant takes possession of the Premises before the Lab

Work in the Lab Space, Tenant shall construct the Initial Lab

IV. RENT.
A. Payments. As consideration for this Lease, commencing on the
Office Rent Commencement Date with respect to the Office Space
and the Lab Rent Commencement Date with respect to the Lab
Space, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any setoff or
deduction (except as otherwise provided in Sections I.D.,
I.G., VII.B, XVII and XVIII), the total amount of Office Base
Rent and Additional rent due with respect to the Office Space
and the total amount of Lab Base Rent and Additional Rent due
with respect to the Lab Space for the Term. "Additional Rent"
means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is
required to pay Landlord. Additional Rent and Base Rent are
sometimes collectively referred to as "Rent". Tenant shall pay
and be liable for all rental and use taxes (but excluding
income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent under
applicable Law. Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of
Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the
first day of each calendar month without notice or demand. All
other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or
before 30 days after billing by Landlord accompanied by
reasonable substantiation therefor. All payments of Rent shall
be by good and sufficient check or by other means (such as
automatic debit or electronic transfer) acceptable to
Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any item or installment of
Rent when due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee
equal to 5% of the past due Rent, provided that Tenant shall
be entitled to a grace period of 10 days for the first 2 late
payments of Rent in a given calendar year. If the Term
commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar
month or terminates on a day other than the last day of a
calendar month, the monthly Base Rent and Tenant's Pro Rata
Share of any Tax Excess (defined in Section IV.B.1.),
8
<PAGE>
Expense Excess (defined in Section IV.B.1.), Expenses (defined
in Section IV.C.) and Taxes (defined in Section IV.D.) for the
month shall be prorated based on the number of days in such
calendar month. Landlord's acceptance of less than the correct
amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on account of the
earliest Rent due. No endorsement or statement on a check or
letter accompanying a check or payment shall be considered an
accord and satisfaction, and either party may accept the check
or payment without prejudice to that party's right to recover
the balance or pursue other available remedies. Tenant's
covenant to pay Rent is independent of every other covenant in
this Lease.
B. 1. Expense Excess and Tax Excess with Respect to the
Office Building. Tenant shall pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share for
the Office Building of the amount, if any, by which Expenses
(defined in Section IV.C.) relating to the Office Building
("Office Expenses") for each calendar year during the Term
exceed Office Expenses for the Base Year (the "Expense
Excess") and also the amount, if any, by which Taxes (defined
in Section IV.D.) reasonably apportioned to the Office
Building ("Office Taxes") for each Fiscal Year during the Term
exceed Office Taxes for the Base Year (the "Tax Excess")
(including in the foregoing the Office Building's share of
Expenses and Taxes reasonably apportioned to the common areas
of the Property on a pro rata square footage basis). If Office
Expenses and/or Office Taxes in any calendar year or Fiscal
Year decrease below the amount of Office Expenses and/or
Office Taxes for the Base Year, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
Office Expenses and/or Office Taxes, as the case may be, for
that calendar year or Fiscal Year shall be $0. Landlord shall
provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Expense
Excess and of the Tax Excess for each calendar year or Fiscal
Year during the Term. On or before the first day of each
month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment
equal to one-twelfth of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Landlord's
estimate of the Expense Excess and one-twelfth of Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of Landlord's estimate of the Tax Excess. If
Landlord determines that its good faith estimate of the
Expense Excess or of the Tax Excess was incorrect by a
material amount, Landlord may provide Tenant with a revised
estimate. After its receipt of the revised estimate, Tenant's
monthly payments shall be based upon the revised estimate. If
Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the
Expense Excess by January 1 of a calendar year, or the Tax
Excess by the start of each new Fiscal Year, Tenant shall
continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous
calendar year's or Fiscal Year's estimate(s), as the case may
be, until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate. Upon
delivery of the new estimate, an adjustment shall be made for
any month for which Tenant paid monthly installments based on
the previous calendar or Fiscal Year's estimate(s). Tenant
shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30
days after receipt of the new estimate. Any overpayment shall
be refunded to Tenant within 30 days or credited against the
next due future installment(s) of Additional Rent.
As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar
year or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, but in no event later
than 180 days after the end of any given year, Landlord shall
furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Office Expenses
and Expense Excess and the actual Office Taxes and Tax Excess
for the prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case may
be. Landlord shall not be
9
<PAGE>
entitled to submit a revised statement to Tenant after such
180 day period, except for the adjustment of Office Taxes, Tax
Excess, and insurance claims as to which the information for
such adjustment was not available within such 180-day period.
If the estimated Expense Excess and/or estimated Tax Excess
for the prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case may
be, is more than the actual Expense Excess and/or actual Tax
Excess for the prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case
may be, Landlord shall apply any overpayment by Tenant against
Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term
expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord
shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting
the amount of Rent due. If the estimated Expense Excess and/or
estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year or Fiscal
Year, as the case may be, is less than the actual Expense
Excess and/or actual Tax Excess for such prior calendar year
or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, Tenant shall pay Landlord,
within 30 days after its receipt of the statement of Office
Expenses and/or Office Taxes, any underpayment for the prior
calendar year.
2. Expense and Taxes with Respect to the Science
Building. Tenant shall pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share for the
Science Building of Expenses relating to the Science Building
for each calendar year during the Term (the "Lab Expenses")
and Taxes reasonably apportioned to the Science Building for
each Fiscal Year during the Term (the "Lab Taxes") (including
in the foregoing the Science Building's share of Expenses and
Taxes reasonably apportioned to the common areas of the
Property on a pro rata square footage basis). Landlord shall
provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Lab Expenses
and of the Lab Taxes for each calendar year or Fiscal Year
during the Term. On or before the first day of each month,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to
one-twelfth of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Landlord's estimate
of the Lab Expenses and one-twelfth of Tenant's Pro Rata Share
of Landlord's estimate of the Lab Taxes. If Landlord
determines that its good faith estimate of the Lab Expenses or
of the Lab Taxes was incorrect by a material amount, Landlord
may provide Tenant with a revised estimate. After its receipt
of the revised estimate, Tenant's monthly payments shall be
based upon the revised estimate. If Landlord does not provide
Tenant with an estimate of the Lab Expenses by January 1 of a
calendar year, or the Lab Taxes by the start of each new
Fiscal Year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments
based on the previous calendar year's or Fiscal Year's
estimate(s), as the case may be, until Landlord provides
Tenant with the new estimate. Upon delivery of the new
estimate, an adjustment shall be made for any month for which
Tenant paid monthly installments based on the previous
calendar or Fiscal Year's estimate(s). Tenant shall pay
Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days after
receipt of the new estimate. Any overpayment shall be refunded
to Tenant within 30 days or credited against the next due
future installment(s) of Additional Rent.
As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar
year or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, but in no event later
than 180 days after the end of any given year, Landlord shall
furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Lab Expenses and
the actual Lab Taxes for the prior calendar year or Fiscal
Year, as the case may be. Landlord shall not be entitled to
submit a revised statement to Tenant after such 180 day
period, except for the adjustment of Lab Taxes and insurance
10
<PAGE>
claims as to which the information for such adjustment was not
available within such 180-day period. If the estimated Lab
Expenses and/or estimated Lab Taxes for the prior calendar
year or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, is more than the
actual Lab Expenses and/or actual Lab Taxes for the prior
calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, Landlord
shall apply any overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent
due or next becoming due, provided if the Term expires before
the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund
any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of
Rent due. If the estimated Lab Expenses and/or estimated Lab
Taxes for the prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case
may be, is less than the actual Lab Expenses and/or actual Lab
Taxes for such prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case
may be, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days after its
receipt of the statement of Lab Expenses and/or Lab Taxes, any
underpayment for the prior calendar year.
C. Expenses Defined. "Expenses" means all actual costs and
expenses incurred in each calendar year in connection with
operating, maintaining, repairing, and managing the Office
Building, with respect to Office Expenses, all actual costs
and expenses incurred in each calendar year in connection with
operating, maintaining, repairing, and managing the Science
Building, with respect to Lab Expenses, and all actual costs
and expenses incurred in each calendar year in connection with
operating, maintaining, repairing, and managing the common
areas of the Property allocated to each of the Science
Building and the Office Building on a pro rata square footage
basis, including, but not limited to:
1. Labor costs, including, wages, salaries, social
security and employment taxes, medical and other
types of insurance, uniforms, training, and
retirement and pension plans for personnel working
full time at the Property, including the general

understood that Office Expenses for the Base Year
shall include such a 4% management fee), and, as to
the Lab Space, shall not exceed 3% of gross rent
(provided that in no event shall Tenant pay a
percentage of management fees for the Lab Space in
excess of the percentage of management fees charged
to other tenants of the Science Building). Landlord,
by itself or through an affiliate, shall have the
right to directly perform or provide any services
under this Lease (including management services),
provided that the cost of any such services shall not
exceed the cost that would have been incurred had
Landlord entered into an arms-length contract for
such services with an unaffiliated entity of
comparable skill and experience. Any office space
leased for a management office shall not be
attributed rental obligations exceeding the rental
obligations under an arm's-length lease for similar

lab buildings, provided that the premiums for such
insurance shall not exceed the premiums for such
insurance with commercially reasonable deductibles.
5. Electrical Costs (defined below) and charges for
water, gas, and sewer, but excluding those charges
for which Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed by
tenants. "Electrical Costs" means: (a) charges paid
by Landlord for electricity for the Property; and (b)
costs incurred in connection with an energy
management program for the Property, which program
saves electrical costs. Electrical Costs shall be
adjusted as follows: (i) amounts entitled to be
received by Landlord as reimbursement for above
standard electrical consumption shall be deducted
from Electrical Costs; (ii) the cost of electricity
incurred to provide overtime HVAC to specific tenants
(as reasonably estimated by Landlord) shall be
deducted from Electrical Costs; and (iii) the cost of
electricity to individual tenant spaces in the
Building shall be deducted from Electrical Costs. (It
is expressly understood that Tenant shall pay (x)
directly to the utility company for the cost of
electrical service to the Premises measured by meters
or reimburse Landlord for the cost of electrical
service to the Premises measured by checkmeter, and
(y) to Landlord its pro rata share of electricity for
checkmetered base building mechanical services, such
as hot water, condenser water, water and sewer
service, and gas service, accordance with Section X.A
below.)
6. The amortized cost of only such capital items and
capital improvements made to the Property which are:
(a) performed primarily to reduce operating expense
costs of the Property; or (b) required to comply with
any Laws that are enacted, or first interpreted to
apply to the Property, after the date of this Lease.
The cost of capital improvements shall be amortized
by Landlord over the lesser of the Payback Period
(defined below) or 10 years. The amortized cost of
capital improvements may, at Landlord's option,
include actual or imputed interest at the rate that
Landlord would reasonably be required to pay to
finance the cost of the capital improvement. "Payback
Period" means the reasonably estimated period of time
that it takes for the cost savings resulting from a
capital improvement to equal the total cost of the
capital improvement.
7. With respect to Lab Expenses only, expenses of
periodic routine testing (as distinguished from any
testing in response to a hazardous materials
discovery or release or any remediation in connection
therewith) to assure that the Lab Space is free of
hazardous materials, agents or substances, and to
assure compliance with codes, regulations and Laws.
12
<PAGE>
8. Any fees, costs and expenses relating to operating,
managing, owning and maintaining the fitness center
in the Property.
9. The costs of Landlord's Work and Landlord's initial
capital improvements in the Science Building and
Common Areas and the equipping thereof, and any
repairs occasioned by the defective installation of
the same.
If Landlord incurs Expenses for the Property together with one
or more other buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a
reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or
otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be equitably
prorated and apportioned between the Property and the other
buildings or properties. Expenses shall not include: the cost
of capital items or improvements (except as set forth above);
depreciation; interest (except as provided above for the
amortization of capital improvements); principal payments of
mortgage and other non-operating debts of Landlord; legal
costs in negotiating, interpreting or enforcing leases,
including without limitation assignment or sublease matters,
any disputes with tenants or eviction proceedings, and any
like legal costs in connection with any other parties to a
reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or
similar agreement; the cost of repairs or other work to the
extent Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed by insurance or
condemnation proceeds or warranties or guaranties; costs in
connection with leasing space in the Building, including
brokerage commissions; lease concessions, including rental
abatements and construction allowances, granted to specific
tenants; costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing
or refinancing of the Building; fines, interest and penalties
incurred due to the late payment of Taxes (defined in Section
IV.D) or Expenses; advertising or promotional expenses; costs
for services separately charged or chargeable to another
tenant; costs of correcting violations of applicable Law and
codes for which Landlord is liable under this Lease; costs to
restore the Building after a casualty because Landlord did not
obtain or maintain replacement cost "All Risk" property
insurance coverage, except for deductibles thereunder;
organizational expenses associated with the creation and
operation of the entity which constitutes Landlord; or any
penalties or damages that Landlord pays to Tenant under this
Lease or to other tenants in the Building under their
respective leases; costs, liability or damages associated with
the negligence or misconduct of Landlord or its agents,
employees or contractors; and where Landlord or an affiliate
is providing a service or item, an amount in excess of what
the cost of such service or item would be in an unrelated
arm's length transaction. If the Office Building is not at
least 95% occupied during any calendar year or if Landlord is
not supplying services to at least 95% of the total Rentable
Square Footage of the Office Building at any time during a
calendar year, Expenses for the Office Building shall be
determined as if the Office Building had been 95% occupied and
Landlord had been supplying services to 95% of the Rentable
Square Footage of the Office Building during that calendar
year. If Tenant pays for its Pro Rata Share of Expenses based
on increases over a "Base Year" and Expenses for a calendar
year are determined as provided in the prior sentence,
Expenses for the Base Year as to the Office Building shall
also be determined as if the Office Building had been 95%
occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to 95% of
the Rentable
13
<PAGE>
Square Footage of the Office Building. The extrapolation of
Expenses under this Section shall be performed by
appropriately adjusting the cost of those components of
Expenses that are impacted by changes in the occupancy of the
Office Building.
D. Taxes Defined. "Taxes" shall mean: (1) all real estate taxes
and other assessments on the Building and/or Property,
including, but not limited to, assessments for special
improvement districts and building improvement districts,
taxes and assessments levied in substitution or
supplementation in whole or in part of any such taxes and
assessments and the Property's share of any real estate taxes
and assessments under any reciprocal easement agreement,
common area agreement or similar agreement as to the Property,
[provided, however, to the extent that there is an increase in
the assessments on the Property which is caused by the
conversion of the Science Building for use as laboratory
space, such increase shall be allocated to the Science
Building only]; (2) all personal property taxes for property
that is owned by Landlord and used in connection with the
operation, maintenance and repair of the Property; and (3) all
costs and fees incurred in connection with seeking reductions
in any tax liabilities described in (1) and (2) with respect
to years for which Tenant had an obligation to pay Tax Excess
or Lab Taxes, including, without limitation, any costs
incurred by Landlord for compliance, review and appeal of tax
liabilities. Without limitation, Taxes shall not include any
income, capital levy, franchise, capital stock, gift, estate
or inheritance tax. If an assessment is payable in
installments, Taxes for the year shall include the amount of
the installment and any interest due and payable during that
year. For all other real estate taxes, Taxes for that year
shall, at Landlord's election, include either the amount
accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for the year or the
amount due and payable for that year, provided that Landlord's
election shall be applied consistently throughout the Term. If
a change in Taxes is obtained for any year of the Term during
which Tenant paid Tenant's Pro Rata Share of any Tax Excess or
any Lab Taxes, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively
adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if
any, based on the adjustment, or if after the end of the Term
shall pay Tenant such amount. Likewise, if a change is
obtained for Taxes for the Base Year, Taxes for the Base Year
shall be restated and the Tax Excess for all subsequent years
shall be recomputed. Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of any such increase in the Tax Excess
within 30 days after Tenant's receipt of a statement from
Landlord.
E. Audit Rights. Tenant may, within 90 days after receiving
Landlord's statement of Expenses (or within 90 days after
receiving any revised statement thereof), give Landlord
written notice ("Review Notice") that Tenant intends to review
Landlord's records of the Expenses for that calendar year.
Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice,
Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for
inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct
its review. If any records are maintained at a location other
than the office of the Building, Tenant may either inspect the
records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost
of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an
agent to review Landlord's records, the agent must be with a
licensed CPA, a CPA firm, or a national real estate service
provider, in each case paid on an
14
<PAGE>
hourly, non-contingency fee basis. Tenant shall be solely
responsible for all of its own costs, expenses and fees
incurred for the audit unless such audit reveals a greater
than 5% overstatement for any applicable period in which case
Landlord shall pay for the audit. Within 60 days after the
records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the
right to give Landlord written notice (an "Objection Notice")
stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord's
statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give
Landlord an Objection Notice within the 60 day period or fails
to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the 90 day
period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have
approved Landlord's statement of Expenses and shall be barred
from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year.
If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice,
Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to
resolve any issues raised in Tenant's Objection Notice. If
Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar
year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant
with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the
amount of the overpayment by Tenant or, if after the end of
the Term shall pay Tenant such amount. Likewise, if Landlord
and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are
greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of
any underpayment within 30 days. The records obtained by
Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall
Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord's records or to
dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and
continues to pay all Rent when due.
V. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; USE.
A. Tenant's Obligation. The Premises shall be used only for the
Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant acknowledges that, except
as set forth in Section III.A.2 and Section V.B below, neither Landlord nor any
agent of Landlord has made any representation as to the condition of the
Property or suitability of the Property for Tenant's intended use. Tenant shall
not use or permit the use of the Premises for any purpose which is illegal,
dangerous to persons or property or which, in Landlord's reasonable opinion,
unreasonably disturbs any other tenants of the Buildings or interferes with the
operation of the Buildings. Tenant shall comply with all Laws, including the
Americans with Disabilities Act, regarding the operation of Tenant's business
and the use, condition, configuration and occupancy of the Premises. Tenant,
within 10 days after receipt, shall provide Landlord with copies of any notices
it receives regarding a violation or alleged violation of any Laws. Tenant shall
reimburse and compensate Landlord for all expenditures made by, or damages or
fines sustained or incurred by, Landlord due to any violations of Laws by Tenant
or any Tenant Related Parties with respect to the Premises. Tenant shall comply
with the rules and regulations of the Buildings attached as EXHIBIT B and such
other reasonable rules and regulations not inconsistent with the terms of this
Lease adopted by Landlord from time to time. Tenant shall also cause its agents,
contractors, subcontractors, employees, customers, and subtenants to comply with
all rules and regulations. Landlord shall not discriminate against Tenant in
Landlord's enforcement of the rules and regulations. Tenant shall obtain and pay
for all permits and shall promptly take all actions necessary to comply with all
Laws, including, without limitation, the Occupational Safety and Health Act,
regulating Tenant's specific use of the Premises or the Property. Tenant shall
maintain in full force and effect all certifications or permissions to provide
its services required by any authority having jurisdiction to authorize,
franchise or regulate such services. Tenant shall be solely responsible for
procuring and complying at all times with any and all necessary permits directly
relating or incident to: the
15
<PAGE>
conduct of its specific activities on the Premises; its scientific
experimentation, transportation, storage, handling, use and disposal of any
chemical or radioactive or bacteriological substances or organisms or other
hazardous wastes or environmentally dangerous substances or materials or medical
waste, including without limitation the obtaining of an industrial discharge
permit from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority; its conduct of animal
research activities; and its storage of fuel, chemicals, or other regulated
materials permitted hereunder. Within ten (10) business days of a request by
Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of all such permits,
together with a certificate certifying that such permits are all of the permits
which Tenant is required to maintain with respect to the Premises.
B. Landlord's Obligation. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense
(except to the extent properly included in Expenses), shall be responsible for
correcting any violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act
with respect to the Premises and the Common Areas of the Building, provided that
Landlord's obligation with respect to the Premises shall be limited to
violations that arise out of Landlord's Work and/or the condition of the
Premises prior to the installation of any furniture, equipment and other
personal property of Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall comply with all other
Laws relating to the Common Areas provided that compliance with such Laws is not
the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and provided further that
Landlord's failure to comply therewith would prohibit Tenant from obtaining or
maintaining a certificate of occupancy, or its equivalent, for the Premises, or
would unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenant's employees or
create a significant health hazard for Tenant's employees. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to contest any alleged violation in
good faith, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a
waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses
allowed by Law and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to
the fullest extent permitted by Law. Landlord, after the exhaustion of any and
all rights to appeal or contest, will make all repairs, additions, alterations
or improvements necessary to comply with the terms of any final order or
judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, not Landlord, shall be
responsible for the correction of any violations that arise out of or in
connection with any claims brought under any provision of the Americans with
Disabilities Act other than Title III, the specific nature of Tenant's business
in the Premises (other than general office use), the acts or omissions of
Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, Tenant's arrangement of any
furniture, equipment or other property in the Premises, any repairs,
alterations, additions or improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant
(other than the Landlord Work) and any design or configuration of the Premises
specifically requested by Tenant after being informed that such design or
configuration may not be in strict compliance with the ADA.
VI. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
The Security Deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of
credit (the "Letter of Credit"), which Letter of Credit shall: (a) be in the
amount of $1,411,165.00; (b) be in one (1) of the two (2) forms attached hereto
as EXHIBIT C; (c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; (d) be drawn on an FDIC
insured financial institution satisfactory to the Landlord; (e) expressly allow
Landlord to draw upon it: (i) in the event that the Tenant is in Default under
the Lease by delivering to the issuer of the Letter of Credit written notice

Lease; or (ii) if Tenant, within 60 days prior to expiration of the Letter of
Credit then held by Landlord, fails to provide Landlord with a replacement
Letter of Credit meeting the requirements herein; (f) expressly state that it
will be honored by the issuer without inquiry into the accuracy of any such
notice or statement made by Landlord; (g) expressly permit multiple or partial
draws up to the stated amount of
16

the Letter of Credit; (h) expressly provide that it is transferable to any
successor of Landlord, provided that Landlord pays any transfer fee reasonably
imposed by the issuer of the Letter of Credit; and (i) expire no earlier than 60
days after the Termination Date.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided Tenant is not
in default beyond applicable notice, grace and cure periods under this Lease as
of the effective date of any reduction of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall
have the right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit to be as follows:
(i) $1,058,373.80 effective as of the earlier of (the "First Security Deposit
Reduction Date") (a) the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, or (b) the
date Tenant successfully completes its initial public offering, raising at a
minimum $100,000,000; and (ii) $705,582.50 effective as of the third anniversary
of the First Security Deposit Reduction Date. Such reduction shall be
accomplished by having Tenant provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of
Credit in the reduced amount.
If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit as permitted in this Lease or
the Letter of Credit, then, upon demand of Landlord, Tenant shall restore the
amount available under the Letter of Credit to its original amount by providing
Landlord with an amendment to the Letter of Credit evidencing that the amount
available under the Letter of Credit has been restored to its original amount or
to the reduced amount, if applicable, in accordance with the foregoing
paragraph. In the alternative, Tenant may provide Landlord with cash, to be held
by Landlord in accordance with this Article, equal to the restoration amount
required under the Letter of Credit.

termination of, services due to the application of Laws, the
failure of any equipment, the performance of repairs,
improvements or alterations, or the occurrence of any event or
cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (a "Service
Failure") shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant,
constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an
abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to
fulfill any covenant or agreement. However, if the Premises,
or a material portion of the Premises, is made untenantable
for a period in excess of 3 consecutive Business Days as a
result of the Service Failure, then Tenant, as its sole
remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Rent
payable hereunder during the period beginning on the 4th
consecutive Business Day of the Service Failure and ending on
the day the service has been restored. If the entire Premises
has not been rendered untenantable by the Service Failure, the
amount of abatement that Tenant is entitled to receive shall

untenantable and not used by Tenant. In no event, however,
shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage,
including the theft of Tenant's Property (defined in Article

Termination Date, may require Tenant to remove, at Tenant's expense, any
Leasehold Improvements or Alterations that are performed by or for the benefit
of Tenant and, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would
require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal
and repair costs associated with standard office or laboratory improvements
(collectively referred to as "Required Removables"). Without limitation, it is
agreed that Required Removables include internal stairways, raised floors,
personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems, additional mechanical
shafts and risers installed by Tenant, and structural alterations and
modifications of any type. Landlord agrees that none of Tenant's planned Initial
Alterations constitute Required Removables. The Required Removables designated
by Landlord shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date, provided
that upon prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant may remain in the Premises
for up to 5 days after the Termination Date for the sole purpose of
20
<PAGE>
removing the Required Removables. Tenant's possession of the Premises shall be
subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the
obligation to pay Rent on a per diem basis at the rate in effect for the last
month of the Term. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or
removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to remove any Required
Removables or perform related repairs in a timely manner, Landlord, at Tenant's
expense, may remove and dispose of the Required Removables and perform the
required repairs. Tenant, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, shall
reimburse Landlord for the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at the time it requests approval for a
proposed Alteration (defined in Section IX.C), may request in writing that
Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration or any portion of the Alteration
will be designated as a Required Removable. Within 10 days after receipt of
Tenant's request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing as to which portions
of the Alteration, if any, will be considered to be Required Removables. All
specialized equipment, trade fixtures and furnishings not attached to the
Premises shall remain the property of the Tenant and must be removed by the
Tenant upon termination or expiration of this Lease. Notwithstanding any
provision hereof to the contrary, the following shall constitute personal
property of Tenant which shall be removed by Tenant upon termination or
expiration of this Lease, absent the express agreement of Landlord and Tenant to
the contrary: all moveable personal property, and furniture, furnishings and
equipment, such as computers, servers, phone system, work stations, power poles,
desks, tables, chairs, projectors, and lab equipment such as portable freezers,
refrigerators, mixers, centrifuges, biosafety cabinets, cage washers,
autoclaves, stirrers, rotors, ovens, incubators, cell sorters, flow Cytometers,
microscopes, water baths, unaffixed lab tables, pumps, gas cylinders, and
regulators. It is expressly understood and agreed that the following shall
become the property of Landlord upon the installation thereof and shall remain
on the Premises upon termination or expiration of this Lease: generators, fume
hoods, and affixed tables, benches and cabinets (except for biosafety cabinets).
IX. REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS.
A. Tenant's Repair Obligations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost
and expense, keep the Premises in good condition and repair,
reasonable wear and tear, casualties and takings excepted.
Tenant's repair obligations include, without limitation,
repairs to: (1) floor covering; (2) interior partitions; (3)
doors; (4) the interior side of demising walls; (5)
electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment
(collectively, "Cable") that is installed by or for the
exclusive benefit of Tenant and located in the Premises or
other portions of the Buildings; (6) supplemental air
conditioning units, private showers and kitchens, including
hot water heaters, plumbing, and similar facilities serving
Tenant exclusively; and (7) Alterations performed by
contractors retained by Tenant, including related HVAC
balancing. All work shall be performed in accordance with the
rules and procedures described in Section IX.C. below. If
Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than
30 days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not
be required if there is an emergency), Landlord may make the
repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the
repairs to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of an invoice
accompanied by reasonable substantiation, together with an
administrative charge in an amount equal to 3% of the cost of
the repairs.
B. Landlord's Repair Obligations; Utility Installations. Landlord
shall keep and maintain in good repair and working order and
make repairs to and perform
21
<PAGE>
maintenance upon: (1) structural elements of the Building; (2)
mechanical (including HVAC), electrical, plumbing and
fire/life safety systems serving the Building in general or
constituting base building systems and equipment; (3) Common
Areas; (4) the roof of the Building; (5) exterior windows of
the Building; (6) the parking garage and (7) elevators serving
the Building. Landlord shall promptly make repairs
(considering the nature and urgency of the repair) for which
Landlord is responsible. In addition, Landlord may elect, at
the expense of and after notice to Tenant, to repair any
damage or injury to the Building caused by moving property of
Tenant in or out of the Building, or by installation or
removal of furniture or other property, or by misuse by,
neglect or improper conduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related
Parties (hereinafter defined). Landlord reserves the right to
install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate utility
chases, pipes, wiring, meters, and other equipment and
fixtures in and through the Buildings to service other
portions of the Property.
C. Alterations. Tenant shall not make alterations, additions or
improvements to the Premises or install any Cable in the
Premises or other portions of the Buildings (collectively
referred to as "Alterations") without first obtaining the
written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. However,
Landlord's consent shall not be required for any Alteration
that satisfies all of the following criteria (a "Cosmetic
Alteration"): (1) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting,
wallpapering, hanging pictures and installing carpeting; (2)
is not visible from the exterior of the Premises or Buildings
or from the Common Areas of the Property; (3) will not affect
the systems or structure of the Buildings; and (4) does not
require work to be performed inside the walls or above the
ceiling of the Premises. Further, Landlord's consent shall not
be required for non-structural, non-mechanical and
non-electrical Alterations to the Premises that are not
visible from the exterior of the Premises or the Buildings or
from the Common Areas of the Property, the cost of which in
any given instance is less than $50,000 ("Minor Alterations").
However, even though consent is not required, the performance
of Cosmetic Alterations or Minor Alterations shall be subject
to all the other applicable provisions of this Section IX.C.
Prior to starting work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
plans and specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord;
names of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord
(provided that Landlord may designate specific contractors
with respect to Buildings systems); copies of contracts;
necessary permits and approvals; evidence of contractor's and
subcontractor's insurance in amounts reasonably required by
Landlord; and any security for performance that is reasonably
required by Landlord for Alterations having a cost in excess
of $100,000. Changes to the plans and specifications for
Alterations having a cost in excess of $50,000, or for
Alterations which result in non-compliance with any of the
criteria referenced above for Cosmetic Alterations or Minor
Alterations, must also be submitted to Landlord for its
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Alterations shall be constructed in a good and
workmanlike manner using materials of a quality that is at
least equal to the quality designated by Landlord as the
minimum standard for the Buildings, by a contractor reasonably
approved by Landlord whose labor will work without
interference and in harmony with other labor working on the
Property. Landlord may designate reasonable rules, regulations
and procedures for the performance of work in the Building
and, to the extent reasonably necessary to
22
<PAGE>
avoid disruption to the occupants of the Buildings, shall have
the right to designate the time when Alterations may be
performed. A copy of Landlord's current construction rules and
regulations is attached hereto as EXHIBIT N. For all
Alterations after the initial Alterations, if review by
Landlord of Tenant's plans for Alterations other than Cosmetic
Alterations reasonably requires consultation with a third
party architect or engineer, then Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord within 30 days after receipt of an invoice for sums
paid by Landlord for such third party examination of Tenant's
plans. In addition, for all Alterations after the initial
Alterations, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from
Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for Landlord's
oversight and coordination of any non-Cosmetic Alterations
equal to 3% of the cost of the non-Cosmetic Alterations (it
being expressly understood that no such fee shall be paid to
Landlord for the Landlord's Work, the Initial Improvements, or
any initial improvements in the Expansion Space (as defined in
Section VII.A of EXHIBIT E). Upon completion, Tenant shall
furnish "as-built" plans in print and electronic CAD format
(except for Cosmetic Alterations), completion affidavits, full
and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all
labor and materials. Tenant shall assure that the Alterations
comply with all insurance requirements and Laws. Landlord's
approval of an Alteration shall not be a representation by
Landlord that the Alteration complies with applicable Laws or
will be adequate for Tenant's use. Tenant shall pay, as an
additional charge, the entire increase in real estate taxes on
the Building which shall, at any time prior to or after the
Commencement Date, result from or be reasonably attributable
to any alteration, addition or improvement to the Premises
made by or for the account of Tenant materially in excess of
the Building standard improvements for the Building.
It shall be a condition of Landlord's approval of the Initial
Improvements and of any subsequent Alterations involving MEP
systems that Tenant provide Landlord with (a) a certification
of an acoustical engineer satisfactory to Landlord that all
equipment installed by Tenant, when evaluated in the context
of the anticipated use of the entire Property, will comply
with the City of Cambridge Noise Ordinance, and (b) a
certification from a qualified engineer satisfactory to
Landlord that the equipment installed by Tenant will meet all
applicable legal requirements, and will not result in the
reentrainment of exhaust into base building systems.
X. USE OF ELECTRICAL AND OTHER UTILITY SERVICES BY TENANT.
A. Tenant shall pay directly to the proper authorities charged
with the collection thereof all charges for separately metered
electricity (Office Building and Science Building), separately
check metered gas (Office Building and Science Building),
separately check metered water and sewer charges (Science
Building), telephone (Office Building and Science Building)
and other separately metered or check metered utilities or
services used or consumed on the Premises whether called
charge, tax, assessment, fee or otherwise including, without
limitation, all such charges to be paid as the service from
time to time becomes due. In addition, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord when billed the cost of metered gas and electrical
service for the base building air, chilled water, and heated
water provided to the Lab Space. Electrical service to the
Premises may be furnished by one or more companies providing
electrical generation,
23
<PAGE>
transmission and distribution services, and the cost of
electricity may consist of several different components or
separate charges for such services, such as generation,
distribution and stranded cost charges. Landlord shall have
the exclusive right to select any company providing electrical
service to the Premises, to aggregate the electrical service
for the Property and Premises with other buildings, to
purchase electricity through a broker and/or buyers group and
to change the providers and manner of purchasing electricity.
Landlord shall be entitled to receive a fee (if permitted by
Law) for the selection of utility companies and the
negotiation and administration of contracts for electricity,
provided that the amount of such fee shall not exceed 50% of
any savings obtained by Landlord. As part of Tenant's Initial
Alterations to the Office Space, Tenant shall install in
accordance with specifications provided by Landlord, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, a separate check meter to
measure and bill Tenant for the electricity used on the 15th
floor of the Office Space. Except as aforesaid, as part of
Tenant's Initial Alterations to the Lab Space, Tenant shall
install in accordance with specifications provided by
Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, separate meters
and wiring to measure and bill Tenant for the utilities used
in each space. The meters and checkmeters in the Lab Space
shall include, without limitation, airflow sensors in the main
duct and BTU meters in the hot water and condenser water lines
entering the Lab Space, as well as checkmeters for water and
sewer and gas service.
B. Tenant's use of electrical and other services shall not
exceed, either in voltage, rated capacity, or overall load,
that which Landlord deems to be standard for the Building,
consistent with provisions of Article VII above. If Tenant
requests permission to consume excess electrical service,
Landlord may condition consent upon the installation of
utility service upgrades, meters, submeters, air handlers or
cooling units, as reasonably appropriate), and the additional
usage (to the extent permitted by Law), installation and
maintenance costs shall be paid by Tenant. Landlord shall have
the right to separately meter electrical usage for the
Premises and to measure electrical usage by survey or other
commonly accepted methods.
XI. ENTRY BY LANDLORD; RESERVATION OF CERTAIN RIGHTS.
Landlord, its agents, contractors and representatives may
enter the Premises to inspect or show the Premises, to clean and make
repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises, inspect and to
conduct tests in order to monitor Tenant's compliance with legal
requirements governing environmental substances, and to conduct or
facilitate repairs, alterations or additions to any portion of the
Building, including other tenants' premises, subject to the conditions
of this Article XI. Tenant shall always have the opportunity to escort
the persons entering the Premises pursuant hereto. Except in
emergencies, or to provide janitorial and other Building services in
the Office Building, after Normal Business Hours, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice of entry into the Premises,
which may be given orally in the event of circumstances of urgency
where written notice is impractical; entry to show the Premises or for
routine repairs, inspections, or tests are not such circumstances.
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to schedule and conduct such
entries so as to minimize disruption of Tenant's use of the Premises.
If reasonably necessary for the protection and safety of Tenant and its
employees, Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close all or a
portion of
24
<PAGE>
the Premises to perform repairs, alterations and additions. However,
except in emergencies, Landlord will not close the call center portion
of the Premises or disrupt utility services to such portion of the
Premises and will not close the rest of the Premises if the work can
reasonably be completed on weekends and after Normal Business Hours.
Entry by Landlord shall not constitute constructive eviction or entitle
Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent. Landlord reserves the
right to make additions to the Buildings and alter or relocate
entranceways, common areas or other facilities (including driveways,
walkways and parking areas), and to grant easements and other rights.
Provided, however, that Landlord's activities pursuant to the foregoing
do not have a direct, material adverse effect on the Premises, or
Tenant's use thereof, or on Tenant's access rights.
XII. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
A. Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in
Section XII.E. below), Tenant shall not assign, sublease,
transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow any
third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively
or individually, a "Transfer") without the prior written
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed if Landlord does not elect to exercise its
termination rights under Section XII.B below. Notwithstanding
any term or provision herein to the contrary, Tenant may allow
Viacord and Tenant's other subsidiaries and affiliates to
occupy portions of the Premises, provided such occupancy is
otherwise in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Lease. Without limitation, it is agreed that Landlord's
consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1)
in the case of an assignment, the proposed transferee's does
not have a net worth equal to or greater than the net worth of
the Tenant as of the date of this Lease; (2) the proposed
transferee's use, or would result in a violation of the
Permitted Uses; (3) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the
proposed transferee is a governmental agency whose activities
will not result in a greater demand on building services than
the demand created by activities conducted by Tenant in the
Premises, will not result in an increase in occupancy per
square foot in excess of Tenant's occupancy per square foot,
and will not result in an increase in the Expenses of the
Property; (4) the proposed transferee is an occupant of the
Buildings (Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will not
withhold its consent solely because the proposed transferee is
an occupant of the Building if Landlord does not have space
available for lease in the Building that is comparable to the
space Tenant desires to Transfer or if Landlord is not willing
to lease such comparable space for a comparable period to such
other Building occupant. For purposes hereof, Landlord shall
be deemed to have comparable space if it has space available
on any comparable floor of the Building that is approximately
the same size as the space Tenant desires to Transfer at the
time of the proposed commencement of the proposed Transfer and
for approximately a comparable period); (5) Tenant is in
default after the expiration of the notice and cure periods in
this Lease; or (6) any portion of the Buildings or Premises
would likely become subject to additional or different Laws as
a consequence of the proposed Transfer (unless such legal
compliance is limited to the Premises during the period of the
transferee's occupancy, and Landlord is assured that the
transferee will be solely liable therefor). Any attempted
Transfer in violation of this Article shall, at
25
<PAGE>
Landlord's option, be void. Consent by Landlord to one or more
Transfer(s) shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights
to approve any subsequent Transfers. In no event shall any
Transfer or Permitted Transfer release or relieve Tenant from
any obligation under this Lease.
B. As part of its request for Landlord's consent to a Transfer,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for
the proposed transferee, a complete copy of the proposed
assignment, sublease and other contractual documents and such
other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord
shall, by written notice to Tenant within 20 days of its
receipt of the required information and documentation, either:
(1) consent to the Transfer by the execution of a consent
agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord or
reasonably refuse to consent to the Transfer in writing; or
(2) if Tenant is proposing to lease 50% or more of the
Premises for substantially the balance of the Term, exercise
its right to terminate this Lease with respect to the portion
of the Premises that Tenant is proposing to assign or sublet.
Any such termination shall be effective on the proposed
effective date of the Transfer for which Tenant requested
consent. Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of $1,500.00
for Landlord's review of any Permitted Transfer or requested
Transfer, provided if Landlord's actual reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) exceed
$1,500.00, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual
reasonable costs and expenses in lieu of a fixed review fee.
C. Except for Permitted Transfers, Tenant shall pay Landlord 50%
of all rent and other consideration which Tenant receives as a
result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Rent payable to
Landlord for the portion of the Premises and Term covered by
the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord's share
of any excess within 30 days after Tenant's receipt of such
excess consideration. Tenant may deduct from the excess all
reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant
attributable to the Transfer (other than Landlord's review
fee), including brokerage fees, legal fees and construction
costs. If Tenant is in Monetary Default (defined in Section
XIX.A. below), Landlord may require that all sublease payments
be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall
receive a credit against Rent in the amount of any payments
received (less Landlord's share of any excess).
D. Except as provided below with respect to a Permitted Transfer,
if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, or similar entity, and if, in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions, the group of
persons or entities which owns or controls a majority of the
voting shares/rights at any time changes in a material way for
any reason (including but not limited to a merger,
consolidation or reorganization but excluding (1) a sale or
transfer by the Tenant of a minority interest in Tenant to a
person or entity previously not a part of or affiliated with
such ownership group and (2) transfers among members of such
group), such change of ownership or control shall constitute a
Transfer. The foregoing shall not apply to the initial public
offering of stock in Tenant quoted on a national market system
for securities transactions, nor, thereafter, to any transfers
of stock over such national market system for securities
transactions, so long as Tenant is an entity whose outstanding
stock is quoted on a national market system for securities
transactions, or if at least 80% of its voting stock is
26
<PAGE>
owned directly or indirectly by another entity, the voting
shares/rights of which are so listed or quoted.
E. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this
Section XII, Tenant may assign its entire interest under this
Lease to a successor to Tenant (or have a change in ownership
and/or control of Tenant as provided in clause D above) by
purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or otherwise without the consent of Landlord,
provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied (a
"Permitted Transfer"): (1) Tenant is not in default, after the
expiration of applicable notice, grace and cure periods, under
this Lease; (2) Tenant's successor shall own all or
substantially all of the assets of Tenant which were owned by
Tenant immediately before the proposed purchase, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization; (3)
Tenant's successor shall have a net worth which is at least
equal to Tenant's net worth as reflected in the most recent
regularly prepared balance sheet prior to the proposed
purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or
recapitalization; (4) the Permitted Use does not allow the
Premises to be used for on site retail purposes; and (5)
Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least 20 days
prior to the effective date of the proposed purchase, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization. Tenant's
notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation
showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied.
Landlord agrees to treat and keep as confidential and not
disclose to any third party (i) such notice, (ii) the identity
of the parties to the proposed transaction or (iii) the terms
of the proposed transaction; provided, however (a) Landlord
shall be permitted to provide such information to its
mortgagee, subject to the same confidentiality requirements,
and (b) Landlord shall not be required to keep confidential
(aa) information which has come within the public domain
through no fault or action of Landlord or its representatives,
(bb) information which was known to Landlord on a
non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure hereunder, (cc)
information which becomes available to Landlord on a
non-confidential basis from any third party, and (dd)
information that is independently developed by Landlord. If
requested by Landlord, Tenant's successor shall sign a
commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement.
XIII. LIENS.
Tenant shall not permit mechanic's or other liens to be placed upon the
Property, Premises or Tenant's leasehold interest in connection with any work or
service done or purportedly done by or for benefit of Tenant. Landlord shall
have the right to require Tenant to post a performance or payment bond in
connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for the
benefit of Tenant having a cost in excess of $100,000. Tenant acknowledges and
agrees that all such work or service is being performed for the sole benefit of
Tenant and not for the benefit of Landlord. If a lien is so placed, Tenant
shall, within 10 days of notice from Landlord of the filing of the lien, fully
discharge the lien by settling the claim which resulted in the lien or by
bonding or insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable
lien Law. If Tenant fails to discharge the lien, then, in addition to any other
right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or insure over the lien. Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord to bond or insure over
the lien, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (if and to
the extent permitted by Law) within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from
Landlord, accompanied by reasonable substantiation.
27
<PAGE>
XIV. INDEMNITY AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS.
A. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties
(defined below), and subject to Article XVI below, Tenant
shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its trustees,
members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers,
directors, employees, Mortgagee(s) (defined in Article XXVI)

against Tenant or any of the Tenant Related Parties and
arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions
(including violations of Law) of Landlord, the Landlord
Related Parties or any of Landlord's contractors.
C. Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties shall not be liable
for, and Tenant waives, all claims for loss or damage to
Tenant's business or loss, theft or damage to Tenant's
Property or the property of any person claiming by, through or
under Tenant resulting from: (1) wind or weather; (2) the
failure of any sprinkler, heating or air-conditioning

of Landlord. Tenant shall insure itself against such losses
under Article XV below.
D. Except as specifically provided to the contrary, the limits of
either party's insurance shall not limit such party's
liability under this Lease.
XV. INSURANCE.
Tenant shall carry and maintain the following insurance ("Tenant's
Insurance"), at its sole cost and expense: (1) Commercial General Liability
Insurance applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances providing, on an

any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or causes of action against the
other and their respective trustees, principals, beneficiaries, partners,
officers, directors, agents, and employees, for any loss or damage that may
occur to Landlord or Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord
or Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to Tenant's Property, the Buildings,
the Premises, any additions or improvements to the Buildings or Premises, or any
contents thereof, including all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of

covered by insurance, including any deductible thereunder. The foregoing shall
not preclude the recovery of any such deductible amounts as Expenses, to the
extent provided under Section IV.C.4 above.
XVII. CASUALTY DAMAGE.
A. If all or any part of the Premises or a material portion of
the parking spaces or all reasonable means of access to the
Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord in writing. During any period of
time that any portion of the Premises or the parking spaces or
a reasonable means of access to the Premises is rendered
unusable as a result of a fire or other casualty, the Rent
shall abate to the extent of the portion of the Premises,
parking or access that is untenantable and not used by Tenant.
Landlord shall
29
<PAGE>
have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Building
shall be damaged so that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment,
substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall
be required (whether or not the Premises has been damaged);
(2) Landlord is not permitted by Law to rebuild the Building
in substantially the same form as existed before the fire or
casualty; (3) the Premises have been materially damaged and
there is less than 2 years of the Term remaining on the date
of the casualty; (4) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance
proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; or
(5) a material uninsured loss to the Building occurs. Landlord
may exercise its right to terminate this Lease by notifying
Tenant in writing within 60 days after the date of the
casualty. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, Landlord
shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to repair
and restore the Building, the parking garage and the Leasehold
Improvements (excluding any Alterations that were performed by
Tenant in violation of this Lease). However, in no event shall
Landlord be required to spend more than the insurance proceeds
received by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any
loss or damage to Tenant's Property or to the business of
Tenant resulting in any way from the fire or other casualty or
from the repair and restoration of the damage. Landlord and
Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any Law relating to the
matters addressed in this Article, and agree that their
respective rights for damage to or destruction of the Premises
shall be those specifically provided in this Lease.
B. If all or any portion of the Premises shall be made
untenantable by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, with
reasonable promptness, cause an architect or general
contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant
with a written estimate of the amount of time required to
substantially complete the repair and restoration of the
Premises and make the Premises tenantable again, using
standard working methods ("Completion Estimate"). If the
Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises cannot be made
tenantable within 270 days from the date the repair and
restoration is started, then regardless of anything in Section
XVII.A above to the contrary, either party shall have the
right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the
other of such election within 10 days after receipt of the
Completion Estimate.
XVIII. CONDEMNATION.
Either party may terminate this Lease if the whole or any material part
of the Premises shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use
under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a "Taking").
Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking
of any portion of the Building or Property which would leave the remainder of
the Building unsuitable for use as an office building in a manner comparable to
the Building's use prior to the Taking. In order to exercise its right to
terminate the Lease, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, must provide
written notice of termination to the other within 45 days after the terminating
party first receives notice of the Taking. Any such termination shall be
effective as of the date the physical taking of the Premises or the portion of
the Building or Property occurs. If this Lease is not terminated, the Rentable
Square Footage of the Building, the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises and
Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall, if applicable, be appropriately adjusted. In
addition, Rent for any portion of the Premises taken or condemned shall be
abated during the unexpired Term of this Lease effective when the
30
<PAGE>
physical taking of the portion of the Premises occurs. All compensation awarded
for a Taking, or sale proceeds, shall be the property of Landlord, any right to
receive compensation or proceeds being expressly waived by Tenant. However,
Tenant may file a separate claim at its sole cost and expense for Tenant's
Property and Tenant's reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the
claim does not diminish the award which would otherwise be receivable by
Landlord.
XIX. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
There shall be considered to be an "Event of Default" by Tenant under
this Lease upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:
A. Tenant's failure to pay when due all or any portion of the
Rent, if the failure continues for 5 business days after
written notice to Tenant ("Monetary Default").
B. Tenant's failure (other than a Monetary Default) to comply
with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease, if the
failure is not cured within 20 days after written notice to
Tenant. However, if Tenant's failure to comply cannot
reasonably be cured within 20 days, Tenant shall be allowed
additional time (not to exceed 180 days) as is reasonably
necessary to cure the failure so long as: (1) Tenant commences
to cure the failure within 20 days, and (2) Tenant diligently
pursues a course of action that will cure the failure and
bring Tenant back into compliance with the Lease. However, if
Tenant's failure to comply creates a hazardous condition, the
failure must be cured immediately upon notice to Tenant.
C. Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in
fraud of creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts
when due.
D. The leasehold estate is taken by process or operation of Law.
XX. REMEDIES.
A. Upon any Event of Default (as provided in Section XIX),
Landlord shall have the right without notice or demand (except
as provided in Article XIX) to pursue any of its rights and
remedies at Law or in equity, including any one or more of the
following remedies:
1. Terminate this Lease, in which case Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If
Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord may,
in compliance with applicable Law and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy, enter upon
and take possession of the Premises and expel and
remove Tenant, Tenant's Property and any party
occupying all or any part of the Premises. Tenant
shall pay Landlord on demand the amount of all past
due Rent and other losses and damages which Landlord
may suffer as a result of Tenant's default, whether
by Landlord's inability to relet the Premises on
satisfactory terms or otherwise, including, without
limitation, all Costs of Reletting (defined below)
and any deficiency that may arise from reletting or
the failure to
31
<PAGE>
relet the Premises. "Costs of Reletting" shall
include all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord
in reletting or attempting to relet the Premises,
including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees,
brokerage commissions, the cost of alterations and
the value of other concessions or allowances granted
to a new tenant.
2. In lieu of calculating damages under Sections XX.A.1
above, Landlord may elect to receive as damages the
sum of (a) all Rent accrued through the date of
termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to
possession, and (b) an amount equal to the total Rent
that Tenant would have been required to pay for the
remainder of the Term discounted to present value at
the Prime Rate (defined in Section XX.B. below) then
in effect, minus the then present fair rental value
of the Premises for the remainder of the Term,
similarly discounted, after deducting all anticipated
Costs of Reletting.
B. Unless expressly provided in this Lease, the repossession or
re-entering of all or any part of the Premises shall not
relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under the
Lease. No right or remedy of Landlord shall be exclusive of
any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other right and remedy now
or subsequently available to Landlord at Law or in equity. If
Landlord declares Tenant to be in default after the expiration
of applicable notice, grace and cure periods, Landlord shall
be entitled to receive interest on any unpaid item of Rent at
a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 4%. For purposes hereof,
the "Prime Rate" shall be the per annum interest rate publicly
announced as its prime or base rate by a federally insured
bank selected by Landlord in the state in which the Building
is located. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more
remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any default.
XXI. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE
LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) TO TENANT SHALL BE LIMITED
TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY. TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO
LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD
AGAINST LANDLORD. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY SHALL BE
PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN
ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S)
(DEFINED IN ARTICLE XXVI BELOW) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES
(DEFINED IN ARTICLE XXVI BELOW) ON THE PROPERTY, BUILDINGS OR PREMISES, NOTICE
AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING,
IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY MORTGAGEES OR LANDLORD RELATED PARTIES EVER BE
LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOST PROFITS OF
TENANT. LIKEWISE, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE XXV BELOW, TENANT SHALL NEVER
BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOST PROFITS OR
LANDLORD.
32
<PAGE>
XXII. NO WAIVER.
Either party's failure to declare a default immediately upon its
occurrence, or delay in taking action for a default shall not constitute a
waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel. Either party's
failure to enforce its rights for a default shall not constitute a waiver of its
rights regarding any subsequent default. Receipt by Landlord of Tenant's keys to
the Premises shall not constitute an acceptance or surrender of the Premises.
XXIII. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
Tenant shall, and may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises,
subject to the terms of this Lease, provided Tenant is not in default after the
expiration of applicable notice, grace and cure periods. This covenant and all
other covenants of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors
only during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Building, and
shall not be a personal covenant of Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties.
XXIV. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
XXV. HOLDING OVER.
If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, occupancy of the Premises after the termination or
expiration shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant's occupancy of the
Premises during the holdover shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of
this Lease and Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without
reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to 150% of the greater
of: (1) the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period
immediately preceding the holdover; or (2) the fair market gross rental for the
Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord. No holdover by Tenant or payment
by Tenant after the expiration or early termination of this Lease shall be
construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of
possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. In addition to
the payment of the amounts provided above, if Landlord is unable to deliver
possession of the Premises to a new tenant, or to perform improvements for a new
tenant, as a result of Tenant's holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises
within 30 days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord's inability to deliver
possession, or perform improvements, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all
damages, including, without limitation, consequential damages, that Landlord
suffers from the holdover. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be
liable for consequential damages unless the holdover continues for 45 or more
days after the termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possession.
XXVI. SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s),
deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising
upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications,
refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a "Mortgage");
provided, however, that such subordination shall be expressly conditioned on
Mortgagee agreeing in the form of a commercially reasonable non-disturbance
agreement not to disturb Tenant under the Lease and to commit to fund the
initial Tenant Allowance as set forth in EXHIBIT D with respect to the Premises,
and as set forth in Section VII of EXHIBIT E with respect to the Expansion
Space, if Landlord does not do so. The party having the benefit of a Mortgage
shall be referred to as a "Mortgagee". This clause shall be self-
33
<PAGE>
operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a
commercially reasonable subordination and non-disturbance agreement in favor of
the Mortgagee. In lieu of having the Mortgage be superior to this Lease, a
Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this
Lease. If requested by a successor-in-interest to all or a part of Landlord's
interest in the Lease, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to the
successor-in-interest. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 days after
receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver an estoppel
certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including
a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). The estoppel certificate shall include a
statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified (except as identified in the
estoppel certificate) and in full force and effect, describing the dates to
which Rent and other charges have been paid, representing that, to such party's
actual knowledge, there is no default (or stating the nature of the alleged
default) and indicating other matters with respect to the Lease that may
reasonably be requested.
XXVII. ATTORNEYS' FEES.
If either party institutes a suit against the other for violation of or
to enforce any covenant or condition of this Lease, or if either party
intervenes in any suit in which the other is a party to enforce or protect its
interest or rights, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all of its costs
and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.
XXVIII. NOTICE.
If a demand, request, approval, consent or notice (collectively
referred to as a "notice") shall or may be given to either party by the other,
the notice shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered or
certified mail with return receipt requested, or sent by overnight or same day
courier service at the party's respective Notice Address(es) set forth in
Article I, except that if Tenant has vacated the Premises (or if the Notice
Address for Tenant is other than the Premises, and Tenant has vacated such
address) without providing Landlord a new Notice Address, Landlord may serve
notice in any manner described in this Article or in any other manner permitted
by Law. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received or given on the
earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused,
or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or the other Notice Address of Tenant
without providing a new Notice Address, 3 days after notice is deposited in the
U.S. mail or with a courier service in the manner described above. Either party
may, at any time, change its Notice Address (other than to a post office box
address) by giving the other party written notice of the new address in the
manner described in this Article.
XXIX. EXCEPTED RIGHTS.
This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the
Buildings. Landlord excepts and reserves exclusively to itself the use of: (1)
roofs, (2) subject to the terms of Article II above, telephone, electrical and
janitorial closets, (3) subject to the terms of Article II above, equipment
rooms, Building risers or similar areas that are used by Landlord for the
provision of Building services, (4) rights to the land and improvements below
the floor of the Premises, (5) the improvements and air rights above the
Premises, (6) the improvements and air rights outside the demising walls of the
Premises, and (7) the areas within the Premises used for the installation of
utility lines and other installations serving occupants of the Building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Tenant shall have the right from time to time
to install its telecom systems, wires and conduits in the Building, subject to
the prior written approval of
34
<PAGE>
Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Tenant's compliance with
this Lease (other than the foregoing sentence), including without limitation
Section IX.C. and (b) Tenant shall have the Roof Rights with respect to the
Science Building set forth in EXHIBIT E. Landlord has the right to change the
Building's and Buildings' name or address. Landlord also has the right to make
such other changes to the Property and Buildings as Landlord deems appropriate,
provided the changes do not materially affect Tenant's ability to use the
Premises for the Permitted Use and the parking garage. Landlord shall also have
the right (but not the obligation) to temporarily close the Building and/or
Buildings if Landlord reasonably determines that there is an imminent danger of
significant damage to the Building, Buildings or of personal injury to
Landlord's employees or the occupants of the Building or Buildings. The
circumstances under which Landlord may temporarily close the Building or
Buildings shall include, without limitation, electrical interruptions,
hurricanes and civil disturbances. A closure of the Building or Buildings under
such circumstances shall not constitute a constructive eviction nor (except as
provided in Section VIIB) entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.
XXX. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
remove Tenant's Property (defined in Article XV) from the Premises, and quit and
surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition
and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty or condemnation
excepted. Tenant shall also be required to remove the Required Removables in
accordance with Article VIII. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant's Property
within 2 days after the termination of this Lease, Landlord, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store
Tenant's Property. Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation
or safekeeping of Tenant's Property. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the
expenses and storage charges incurred for Tenant's Property. In addition, if
Tenant fails to remove Tenant's Property from the Premises or storage, as the
case may be, within 30 days after written notice, Landlord may deem all or any
part of Tenant's Property to be abandoned, and title to Tenant's Property shall
be deemed to be immediately vested in Landlord. Tenant shall, prior to the
expiration of the Term or upon the earlier termination thereof, cause to be
performed by a qualified environmental consultant approved by Landlord an
inspection of the Lab Space (including visual inspection, geiger counter
evaluation, airborne and surface monitoring) to confirm that the Lab Space is
free of biological, chemical and radioactive hazards. Tenant shall deliver a
copy of the inspection report ("Inspection Report") to Landlord. If the report
is not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, Landlord shall so notify Tenant,
indicating the nature of Landlord's dissatisfaction. Tenant shall be responsible
for abating or, at Landlord's election if the Term hereof has expired, paying
the cost of abating any condition(s) in accordance with the approved Inspection
Report.
XXXI. MISCELLANEOUS.
A. This Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties shall
be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the
Laws of the state in which the Building is located and
Landlord and Tenant hereby irrevocably consent to the
jurisdiction and proper venue of such state. If any term or
provision of this Lease shall to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be
affected, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law. The headings
and titles to the Articles and
35
<PAGE>
Sections of this Lease are for convenience only and shall have
no effect on the interpretation of any part of the Lease.
B. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum or notice
without Landlord's prior written consent; provided, however,
Landlord agrees to consent to the recordation or registration
of a memorandum or notice of this Lease, at Tenant's cost and
expense in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT F, if the
initial term of this Lease or the initial term plus any
renewal terms granted exceed, in the aggregate, 7 years. If
this Lease is terminated before the Term expires, upon
Landlord's request the parties shall execute, deliver and
record an instrument acknowledging the above and the date of
the termination of this Lease, and Tenant appoints Landlord
its attorney-in-fact in its name and behalf to execute the
instrument if Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver the
instrument after Landlord's request therefor within 10 days.
C. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any right to trial by jury in
any proceeding based upon a breach of this Lease.
D. Whenever a period of time is prescribed for the taking of an
action by Landlord or Tenant, the period of time for the
performance of such action shall be extended by the number of
days that the performance is actually delayed due to strikes,
acts of nature, shortages of labor or materials, war, civil
disturbances and other causes beyond the reasonable control of
the performing party ("Force Majeure"). However, events of
Force Majeure shall not extend any period of time for the
payment of Rent or other sums payable by either party or any
period of time for the written exercise of an option or right
by either party and shall not apply with respect to Section
VIIB.
E. Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole
or in part, all of its rights and obligations under this Lease
and in the Building, Buildings and/or Property referred to
herein, and upon such transfer by Landlord of all of its
interests in the Property. Landlord shall be released from any
further obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look
solely to the successor in interest of Landlord for the
performance of such obligations.
F. Landlord and Tenant each represent that they have dealt
directly with and only with the Broker as a broker in
connection with this Lease. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall
indemnify and hold the other and their respective Related
Parties harmless from all claims of any other brokers claiming
to have dealt with the indemnifying party in connection with
this Lease.
G. Tenant covenants, warrants and represents that: (1) each
individual executing, attesting and/or delivering this Lease
on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so on behalf of
Tenant; (2) this Lease is binding upon Tenant; and (3) Tenant
is duly organized and legally existing in the state of its
organization and is qualified to do business in the state in
which the Premises are located. Landlord hereby makes the same
covenant, representation and warranty to Tenant. If there is
more than one Tenant, or if Tenant is comprised of more than
one party or entity, the obligations imposed upon Tenant shall
be joint and several obligations of all the parties and
entities. If Tenant is a partnership, then each present and
36
<PAGE>
future partner shall be personally bound by and upon all of
the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions to
be performed by Tenant. Landlord may request (and Tenant shall
comply) that Tenant, at the time that Tenant admits any new
partner to its partnership, require each new partner to
execute an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
Landlord under which the new partner shall agree to be
personally bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements,
terms, provisions and conditions to be performed by Tenant,
without regard to when the new partner is admitted to the
partnership (or when any obligations under any of covenants,
agreements, terms, provisions and conditions accrue). Notices,
payments and agreements given or made by, with or to any one
person or entity shall be deemed to have been given or made
by, with and to all of them.
H. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant's exercise of
any expansion, renewal or extension rights granted to Tenant.
This Lease shall create only the relationship of landlord and
tenant between the parties, and not a partnership, joint
venture or any other relationship. This Lease and the
covenants and conditions in this Lease shall inure only to the
benefit of and be binding only upon Landlord and Tenant and
their permitted successors and assigns.
I. The expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time or
otherwise, shall not relieve either party of any obligations
which accrued prior to or which may continue to accrue after
the expiration or early termination of this Lease. Without
limiting the scope of the prior sentence, it is agreed that
Tenant's obligations under Sections IV.A, IV.B., VIII, XIV,
XX, XXV, XXX, XXXII and XXXIII shall survive the expiration or
early termination of this Lease.
J. Landlord has delivered a copy of this Lease to Tenant for
Tenant's review only, and the delivery of it does not
constitute an offer to Tenant or an option. This Lease shall
not be effective against any party hereto until an original
copy of this Lease has been signed by both parties.
K. All understandings and agreements previously made between the
parties with respect to the Premises are superseded by this
Lease, and neither party is relying upon any warranty,
statement or representation not contained in this Lease. This
Lease may be modified only by a written agreement signed by
Landlord and Tenant.
L. Subject to restrictions on disclosure under applicable law,
Tenant, within 15 days after request, shall provide Landlord
with a current financial statement and such other information
as Landlord may reasonably request in order to create a
"business profile" of Tenant and determine Tenant's ability to
fulfill its obligations under this Lease. Landlord, however,
shall not require Tenant to provide such information unless
Landlord is requested to produce the information in connection
with a proposed financing or sale of the Building. Upon
written request by Tenant and prior to Tenant being required
to disclose such financial information, Landlord shall enter
into a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement
covering any confidential information that is disclosed by
Tenant.
M. Subject to the provisions of this Section M, so long as no
Event of Default has
37
<PAGE>
occurred and remains outstanding under this Lease, and
provided Tenant's employees execute Landlord's standard waiver
of liability form, then Tenant's employees (the "Fitness
Center Users") shall be entitled to use the Property's fitness
center (the "Fitness Center"). The use of the Fitness Center
shall be subject to the reasonable rules and regulations
(including rules regarding hours of use) established from time
to time by Landlord for the Fitness Center. There shall be no
separate charge to Tenant for the use of the Fitness Center;
however, the costs of operating, maintaining and repairing the
Fitness Center shall be included as part of Expenses to the
extent provided in Section IV.C. above. Tenant acknowledges
that the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to be
a representation by Landlord that Landlord shall continuously
maintain the Fitness Center (or any other fitness facility)
throughout the Term of this Lease, and Landlord shall have the
right, at Landlord's sole discretion, to expand, contract,
eliminate or otherwise modify the Fitness Center. No
expansion, contraction or modification of the Fitness Center,
and no termination of Tenant's or the Fitness Center Users'
rights to the Fitness Center shall constitute a constructive
eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction in
Rent.
XXXII. ENVIRONMENTAL SUBSTANCES.
"Environmental Law(s)" means all statutes, Laws, rules, regulations,
codes, ordinances, standards, guidelines, authorizations and orders of federal,
state and local public authorities pertaining to any of the Environmental
Substances or to environmental compliance, contamination, cleanup or disclosures
of any release or threat of release to the environment, of any hazardous or
toxic substances, wastes or materials, any pollutants or contaminants which are
included under or regulated by any municipal, county, state or federal statutes,
Laws, rules, regulations, codes, ordinances, standards, guidelines,

the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, Public Law No. 99-499
(signed into law October 17, 1986); M.G.L. c.21C; and oil and hazardous
materials as defined in M.G.L. c.21E, as any of the same are from time to time
amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any judicial
or administrative interpretation thereof, including any judicial or
administrative orders or judgments, and all other federal, state and local
statutes, Laws, rules, regulations, codes, ordinances, standards, guidelines,
authorizations and orders regulating the generation, storage, containment or
disposal of any Environmental Substances, including but not limited to those
relating to lead paint, radon gas, asbestos, storage and disposal of oil and
hazardous wastes, substances and materials, and underground and above-ground oil
storage tanks; and any amendments, modifications or supplements of any of the
foregoing.
"Environmental Substances" means, but shall not be limited to, any
hazardous substances, hazardous waste, environmental substances, oil, petroleum
products and any waste or substance, which because of its quantitative
concentration, chemical, biological, radioactive, flammable, explosive,
infectious or other characteristics, constitutes or may
38
<PAGE>
reasonably be expected to constitute or contribute to a danger or hazard to
public health, safety or welfare or to the environment, including without
limitation any asbestos (whether or not friable) and any asbestos-containing
materials, lead paint, waste oils, solvents and chlorinated oils,
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), toxic metals, etchants, pickling and plating
wastes, explosives, reactive metals and compounds, pesticides, herbicides, radon
gas, urea formaldehyde foam insulation and chemical, biological and radioactive
wastes, or any other similar materials which are mentioned under or regulated by
any Environmental Law; and the regulations adopted under these acts, and
including any other products or materials subsequently found by an authority of
competent jurisdiction to have adverse effects on the environment or the health
and safety of persons.
Tenant shall not cause or permit any Environmental Substances to be
generated, produced, brought upon, used, stored, treated or disposed of in or
about or on the Building by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
subtenants or invitees without (i) Landlord's prior written consent, and (ii)
strictly complying with all applicable Environmental Laws and Laws pertaining to
the transportation, storage, use or disposal of such Environmental Substances,
including obtaining proper permits. Landlord may take into account any factors
or facts that Landlord reasonably believes relevant in determining whether to
grant its consent. Landlord consents to Tenant's use in the Lab Space of the
Environmental Substances listed in EXHIBIT K. From time to time at Landlord's
request, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like
concerning Tenant's best knowledge and belief regarding the presence or absence
of Environmental Substances on the Premises or the Property, and shall provide
copies of all required permits for Tenant's activities in the Premises.
Furthermore, on a quarterly basis beginning on the Commencement Date or more
often if reasonably required by Landlord's mortgagee(s), Tenant shall provide
Landlord with a list detailing the types and amounts of all Environmental
Substances being generated, produced, brought upon, used, stored, treated or
disposed of by or on behalf of Tenant in or about or on the Premises, Building
or Property and, upon Landlord's request, copies of any manifests or other
federal, state or municipal filings by Tenant with respect to such Environmental
Substances. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of any environmental inspection or
assessment requested by any lender that holds a security interest in the
Property or this Lease, or by any insurance carrier, to the extent that such
inspection or assessment pertains to any release, threat of release,
contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage or determination of
condition (together, "Environmental Incidents") in the Premises other than
Environmental Incidents arising prior to the date Tenant occupies the Premises
for the conduct of its business or migrating to the Premises from some other
part of the Building through no fault, act or omission of Tenant.
If Tenant's transportation, storage, use or disposal of Environmental
Substances on the Property results in the contamination of the soil or surface
or ground water or loss or damage to person(s) or property, Tenant agrees to:
(a) notify Landlord immediately of any release, threat of release,
contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage; (b) after consultation
with Landlord, clean up the release, threat of release, or contamination in full
compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and standards and (c)
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, ground landlord, if any, and the Landlord
Related Parties harmless from and against any claims, suits, causes of action,
costs and fees, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising from or connected
with any such release, threat of release, contamination, claim of contamination,
loss or damage. In the event of such contamination, Tenant agrees to cooperate
fully with Landlord and provide such documents, affidavits and information as
may be requested by Landlord (1) to comply with any Environmental Law or Laws,
(2) to comply with the reasonable request of any lender, purchaser or tenant,
and/or (3) for any other reasonable reason deemed
39
<PAGE>
necessary by Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly in the event of any
spill or other release of any Environmental Substance at, in, on, under or about
the Premises which is required to be reported to a governmental authority under
any Environmental Law or Laws, shall promptly forward to Landlord copies of any
notices received by Tenant relating to alleged violations of any Environmental
Law or Laws and shall promptly pay when due any fine or assessment against
Landlord, Tenant, or the Premises relating to any violation during the Term of
any Environmental Law or Laws by Tenant, its employees, agents, independent
contractors, or invitees or with respect to the Premises or Property. If any
governmental authority files a lien against the Premises due to any act or
omission, intentional or unintentional, of Tenant, its agents, employees, or

XXXIII. MEDICAL WASTE POLICY.
Tenant hereby agrees to furnish to Landlord upon demand, written
evidence that Tenant has established a written policy (the "Medical Waste
Policy") concerning the identification, collection, storage, decontamination and
disposal of Hazardous Medical Waste (defined below) and Infectious Waste
(defined below). Tenant is responsible for the proper containment and
identification of its Hazardous Medical Waste and Infectious Waste, the disposal
of the Hazardous Medical Waste and Infectious Waste and the transportation of
the Hazardous Medical Waste and Infectious Waste using a properly qualified
agent (including, but not limited to, Stericycle). Landlord shall have the right
to reasonably designate an area within the Premises for the pick-up of Hazardous
Medical Waste and Infectious Waste.
Hazardous Medical Waste is defined as used needles and syringes, gloves
and linen, uniforms and laundry, and cleaning equipment or materials used to
clean any of the foregoing; any solid, liquid or gas that is capable of
producing harmful affects on humans or the environment; material that is
ignitable, corrosive, reactive or toxic; or any materials that are classified as
hazardous medical waste by Law.
Infectious Waste is defined as any waste that contains pathogens or is
capable of producing infectious disease; material contaminated by potentially
infectious materials (taking into consideration the factors necessary for
induction of disease, which include, but are not limited to, adequate dose,
resistance of host, portal of entry and presence of a pathogen and virulence);
material that contains pathogens with sufficient virulence and quantity so that
exposure to the waste by a susceptible host could result in an infectious
disease; or wastes capable of causing disease. Including but not limited to:
A. Cultures and stocks of agents infectious to humans, and
associated biologicals (including but not limited to cultures from medical
laboratories; waste from the production of biologicals; discarded live and
attenuated vaccines, and culture dishes and devices used to
40
<PAGE>
transfer, inoculate and mix cultures);
B. Human pathological wastes [including but not limited to
tissue, organs and body parts (except teeth and the contiguous structures of
bone and gum), and body fluids that are removed during medical procedures and
specimens of body fluids and their containers];
C. Discarded waste blood and blood components (including but not
limited to serum and plasma) and saturated material containing free flowing
blood and blood components (including but not limited to lab specimens);
D. Discarded sharps used in human patient care, medical research
or clinical or pharmaceutical laboratories (including but not limited to
hypodermic, I.V., and other medical needles; hypodermic and I.V. syringes;
Pasteur pipettes; scalpel blades; blood vials; and broken or unbroken glassware
in contact with infectious agents, including slides or cover slips); and
E. Discarded hypodermic, I.V. and other medical needles,
hypodermic, I.V., syringes, sharps and scalpel blades and whether used or unused
(as it is often difficult to determine if they have been used).
Tenant further agrees that such Medical Waste Policy shall incorporate
the following elements: (a) Tenant's employees and agents shall be expressly
forbidden from disposing of any Hazardous Medical Waste or Infectious Waste
within the Premises or the Building in a manner which is contrary to the terms
of the Medical Waste Policy; (b) all such Hazardous Medical Waste and Infectious
Waste shall be collected, stored, decontaminated and removed from the Premises
and the Building by a qualified party in compliance with all applicable Laws and
guidelines (including, without limitation, the Occupational Safety and Health
Act) of any local, state or federal entity having jurisdiction over this matter;
(c) Infectious Waste shall be separated from other waste by containing it in
disposable red plastic bags/containers which are impervious to moisture; (d)
needles and sharps shall be contained in disposable rigid containers which can
be sealed with a tight fitting lid; (e) all spills of Infectious Waste shall be
wiped immediately using a spill kit that contains instructions and disposable
red plastic bags; (f) any spillage, or injury from handling Infectious Waste
shall be immediately reported to Landlord and Landlord shall immediately be
given a specific incident report; and (g) Tenant and its employees and agents
shall at all times employ proper procedures, including, without limitation, the
use of tags, signs or other appropriate written communication, to prevent
accidental injury or illness to other tenants in the Building (including their
employees, agents and invitees) resulting from Tenant's collection, storage,
decontamination and disposal of Hazardous Medical Waste and Infectious Waste.
Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that at all times during the Term, Tenant and
its employees and agents shall adhere to the terms and conditions of the Medical
Waste Policy. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and the
Landlord Related Parties harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges or expenses, including
without limitation, attorney's fees, clean-up costs, fines or penalties arising
out of or resulting from Tenant's violation of this Paragraph.
The provisions of this Section XXXIII survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.

XXXIV. LAB STANDARDS.
Tenant shall keep and maintain the Lab Space in accordance with (i) the
Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources "Guide for the Care and Use of
Laboratory Animals", (ii) the Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 2131 et. Seq.), and
(iii) all other applicable Federal, State and local laws, guidelines and
policies relating to the operation and maintenance of biomedical laboratory
facilities (collectively, the "Lab Standards").
A. Landlord acknowledges that as part of Tenant's operations in the Lab
Space, Tenant shall perform certain medical research work on animals
(the "Permitted Animals"). Tenant shall at all times keep and maintain
the Permitted Animals utilized by Tenant in accordance with the Lab
Standards. All animals brought onto the Property shall be transported
in accordance with such rules and regulations as Landlord shall
reasonably designate. All animals kept in the Lab Space shall be caged
or restrained at all times. In no event shall Tenant use or occupy the
Lab Space in a manner that would be inconsistent with the character and
dignity of the Building or the Cambridge Science Center and Landlord
may require Tenant to immediately cease any business, procedures,
activities or other use which is causing disturbance of, or
interference with Landlord's operation and management of the Cambridge
Science Center or the use and occupancy thereof by any tenant therein.
B. Without limiting the limitations imposed by the Permitted Use clause,
Tenant shall not use or permit the Lab Space to be used for any purpose
that would allow animal, medical or medicinal odors, fumes or noises to
emanate from the Lab Space. In the event such odors, fumes or noises do
emanate from the Lab Space, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall
be responsible for taking whatever steps are necessary in accordance
with all applicable Laws and the terms of this Lease in order to either
eliminate such odors, fumes or noises or to keep such odors, fumes or
noises from emanating from the Buildings in a manner approved by
Landlord. Such steps may include the installation of an exhaust system
or sound proofing in accordance with plans and specifications approved
by Landlord. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach an agreement on
the course of action Tenant will take to correct the odor or noise
problem, as the case may be, within 10 days after the date Landlord
first contacts Tenant to inform Tenant of the odor or noise problem,
Landlord (in its reasonable discretion) shall determine the course of
action Tenant shall take to correct the odor or noise problem. Such
work to correct the odor or noise problem shall be completed by Tenant
within 30 days of the date a determination is made by either Landlord
or Landlord and Tenant (as applicable) as to the scope of work Tenant
shall perform.
C. Tenant agrees to be solely responsible for the disposal of all medical,
infectious and hazardous waste (including without limitation, all
needles, syringes, bloodbags, bandages and vials) and all animal bodies
or parts that are generated in the Tenant's Lab Space and to indemnify
and hold Landlord harmless from and against all liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses
which may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against Landlord in
connection with the generation and existence of such medical,
infectious and/or hazardous waste (including without limitation, all
needles, syringes, bloodbags, bandages and vials) and all animal bodies
or parts and the removal thereof from the Lab Space. Tenant agrees to
comply with all Laws, ordinances, orders, rules, and regulations of any
governmental or regulatory agency with respect to the generation,
existence, removal, storage and disposal of any such medical,
infectious and/or hazardous waste (including without
42
<PAGE>
limitation, all needles, syringes, bloodbags, bandages and vials) and
all animal bodies and parts.
D. Tenant agrees to contract with a licensed and insured medical waste
disposal vendor acceptable to Landlord for the lawful disposal of all
medical, infectious and hazardous waste (including without limitation,
all needles, syringes, blood bags, bandages and vials) and all animal
bodies and parts that are generated in Tenant's Lab Space, and to
provide a copy of such contract to Landlord. If vendors are changed,
Tenant agrees to notify Landlord of such change prior to the effective
date thereof and to provide the appropriate documentation to Landlord.
In no event shall any medical, infectious and/or hazardous waste be
placed or stored outside of the Lab Space, it being agreed that all
such materials shall be kept in the Lab Space until picked up by the
approved medical waste disposal vendor.
E. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain
throughout the Term any licenses, permits or zoning approvals required
by any governmental body for the conduct of Tenant's business and
medical uses with the Lab Space.
F. In the event Tenant's activities in the Project results in any
disturbance, disruption of or interference with the business of the
Project, including, but not limited to, demonstrations, pickets,
boycotts and/or confrontations or disputes on or about the Project
opposing or supporting Tenant's activities (a "Use Dispute"), then
Tenant shall take all actions necessary to resolve the Use Dispute and
to have the demonstrators, picketers or other individuals engaged in
the Use Dispute removed from the Project in an expeditious manner.
Tenant shall have no claim for damages against Landlord or any of the
Landlord Related Parties, as a result of the above actions.

EXHIBIT D
WORK LETTER
This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Office and
Laboratory Lease Agreement dated as of December ___, 2003, by and between
MA-Riverview/245 First Street, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("Landlord") and Viacell, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant") for space in
the Building located at 245 First Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
A. WORK LETTER RELATING TO THE OFFICE SPACE. As used in this Section A of the
Work Letter, the "Office Space" shall be deemed to mean the Office Space, as
initially defined in the attached Lease.
I. ALTERATIONS AND ALLOWANCE.
A. Tenant, following the delivery of the Office Space by Landlord
and the full and final execution and delivery of the Lease to
which this Exhibit is attached and all prepaid rental and
security deposits required under such agreement, shall have
the right to perform alterations and improvements in the
Office Space (the "Initial Office Alterations").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant and its contractors
shall not have the right to perform Initial Office Alterations
in the Office Space unless and until Tenant has complied with
all of the terms and conditions of Article IX of the Lease,
including, without limitation, approval by Landlord of the
final plans for the Initial Office Alterations and the
contractors to be retained by Tenant to perform such Initial
Office Alterations. Tenant shall be responsible for all
elements of the design of Tenant's plans (including, without
limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the
structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the
premises and the placement of Tenant's furniture, appliances
and equipment), and Landlord's approval of Tenant's plans
shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for
such design. Landlord's approval of the contractors to perform
the Initial Office Alterations shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The parties agree that Landlord's approval of the
general contractor to perform the Initial Office Alterations
shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld if any
such general contractor (i) does not have trade references
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) does not maintain
insurance as required pursuant to the terms of this Lease,
(iii) does not have the ability to be bonded for the work in
an amount of the total estimated cost of the Initial Office
Alterations, (iv) does not provide current financial
statements reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (v) is not
licensed as a contractor in the state/municipality in which
the Premises is located, and (vi) will work without
interference and in harmony with other labor on the Property.
Tenant acknowledges the foregoing is not intended to be an
exclusive list of the reasons why Landlord may reasonably
withhold its consent to a general contractor.
Landlord hereby approves The Richmond Group to serve as
Tenant's general contractor for the Initial Office
Alterations, provided that (a) Tenant and the Richmond Group
(or any successor general contractor which may be approved by
Landlord in accordance with this Lease) shall use union
carpenters for Initial
1
<PAGE>
Office Alterations, and (b) Tenant shall cause all labor
performing the Initial Office Alterations to work without
interference and in harmony with other labor working on the
Property.
B. Landlord agrees to contribute the sum of $901,750.00 (the
"Office Allowance") toward the cost of performing the Initial
Office Alterations in preparation of Tenant's occupancy of the
Office Space.
The Office Allowance may only be used for (i) the cost of
preparing design and construction documents and mechanical and
electrical plans for the Initial Office Alterations, (ii)
telecommunications and computer wiring and cabling in
connection with the Initial Office Alterations, (iii) hard
costs in connection with the Initial Office Alterations, (iv)
furniture for the Office Space, (iv) Tenant's actual moving
expenses in connection with moving to the Office Space, and
(v) management of the construction of the improvements to the
Office Space. The Office Allowance, less a 10% retainage
(which retainage may be reduced to 5% retainage when any
particular subcontractor's component of the job has reached
50% completion and may be released to a subcontractor who has
completed his or her work), shall be paid to Tenant or, at
Landlord's option, to the order of the general contractor that
performs the Initial Office Alterations, in periodic
disbursements within 25 days after receipt of the following
documentation: (i) an application for payment and sworn
statement of contractor substantially in the form of AIA
Document G-702 covering all work for which disbursement is to
be made to a date specified therein; (ii) a certification from
an architect registered in Massachusetts substantially in the
form of the Architect's Certificate for Payment which is
located on AIA Document G702, Application and Certificate of
Payment; (iii) Contractor's, subcontractor's and material
supplier's waivers of liens which shall cover all Initial
Office Alterations for which disbursement is being requested
and all other statements and forms required for compliance
with the mechanics' lien laws of the state in which the
Premises is located, together with all such invoices,
contracts, or other supporting data as Landlord or Landlord's
Mortgagee may reasonably require; (iv) a cost breakdown for
each trade or subcontractor performing the Initial Office
Alterations; (v) plans and specifications for the Initial
Office Alterations, together with a certificate from an
architect registered in Massachusetts that such plans and
specifications comply in all material respects with all Laws
affecting the Building, Property and Premises; (vi) copies of
all construction contracts for the Initial Office Alterations,
together with copies of all change orders, if any; (vii) a
request to disburse from Tenant containing an approval by
Tenant of the work done and a good faith estimate of the cost
to complete the Initial Office Alterations; and (viii) written
evidence of paid bills for which Tenant is seeking
reimbursement. Upon completion of the Initial Office
Alterations, and prior to final disbursement of the Office
Allowance, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with: (1) general
contractor and architect's completion affidavits, (2) full and
final waivers of lien, (3) receipted bills covering all labor
and materials expended and used, (4) as-built plans of the
Initial Office Alterations in print and electronic CAD format,
and (5) the certification of Tenant's architect that the
Initial Office Alterations have been installed in accordance
with the approved plans, and in accordance with applicable
Laws, codes and ordinances. In no event shall Landlord be
required to disburse the Office Allowance more than one time
per month. If the cost of the Initial Office Alterations
exceeds the Office Allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to the
Office
2
<PAGE>
Allowance in accordance with the terms hereof, but each
individual disbursement of the Office Allowance shall be
disbursed in the proportion that the Office Allowance bears to
the total cost for the Initial Office Alterations, subject to
the retainage provision referenced above. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be
obligated to disburse any portion of the Office Allowance
during the continuance of an uncured Event of Default under
the Lease, and Landlord's obligation to disburse shall only
resume when and if such Event of Default is cured.
C. If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the entire
Office Allowance to Landlord in accordance with the provisions
contained in this Exhibit by June 30, 2005, any unused amount
shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being
understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit,
abatement or other concession in connection therewith. Tenant
shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or use
taxes, if any, payable in connection with the Initial Office
Alterations and/or Office Allowance.
D. Tenant agrees to accept the Office Space in its "as-is"
condition and configuration, it being agreed that Landlord
shall not be required to perform any work or, except as
provided above with respect to the Office Allowance, incur any
costs in connection with the construction or demolition of any
improvements in the Office Space
E. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional
space added to the Office Space at any time or from time to
time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or
to any portion of the original Office Space or any additions
to the Office Space in the event of a renewal or extension of
the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under
the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the
Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.
B. WORK LETTER RELATING TO LAB SPACE. As used in this Section B of the Work
Letter, the "Lab Space" shall be deemed to mean the Lab Space, as initially
defined in the attached Lease. Landlord and Tenant have agreed that the work to
be performed by the respective parties shall be in accordance with the matrix
attached hereto as SCHEDULE D-1. This Work Letter shall set forth the
obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be
performed in the Lab Space for Tenant's use.
I. Landlord's Work
A. All improvements described in this Work Letter to be constructed in and
upon the Lab Space by Landlord are described in SCHEDULE D-2 and are
hereinafter referred to as the "Landlord Work." It is agreed that
construction of the Landlord Work will be completed at Landlord's sole
cost and expense in a good and workmanlike manner with due diligence.
Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Landlord Work with
a general contractor selected by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall
have the right to select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in
connection with the Landlord Work.
B. Landlord shall construct the Landlord Work described on SCHEDULE D-2
attached hereto at Landlord's expense. Until Substantial Completion of
Landlord's Work, Landlord shall have exclusive occupancy of the Lab
Space. Landlord shall use diligent efforts to
3
<PAGE>
achieve Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work by June 1, 2004,
subject to any Tenant Delay. Landlord shall provide Tenant with 10
days' prior written notice of the date upon which Landlord anticipates
that Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work shall occur. Landlord
shall complete any punchlist items promptly after Substantial
Completion, and Tenant shall provide access to Landlord's contractors
to permit the same.
C. Except as set forth in Section I.G of this Lease, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the
Landlord Work or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the
performance of Landlord's Work shall not subject Landlord to any
liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant
to any credit, abatement or adjustment of Rent or other sums payable
under the Lease.
D. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space
added to the Lab Space at any time or from time to time, whether by any
options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original
Lab Space or any additions to the Lab Space in the event of a renewal
or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options
under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease
or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.
II. Tenant's Work
A. When Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work has occurred,
and the full and final execution and delivery of the Lease to
which this Exhibit is attached and all prepaid rental and
security deposits required under such agreement, Tenant shall
have the right to perform alterations and improvements in the
Premises (the "Initial Lab Alterations") (the Initial Office
Alterations and the Initial Lab Alterations being referred to
herein, collectively, as the "Initial Alterations"), which
Initial Lab Alterations shall include the work described as
Tenant's responsibility on EXHIBIT D-1. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant and its contractors shall not have the right
to perform Initial Lab Alterations in the Lab Space unless and
until Tenant has complied with all of the terms and conditions
of Article IX of the Lease, including, without limitation,
approval by Landlord of the final plans for the Initial Lab
Alterations and the contractors to be retained by Tenant to
perform such Initial Lab Alterations. Landlord acknowledges
that Tenant's plans will include the running of conduits for
power from the rooftop generator and for telephone/data
through the Buildings to the Premises, and agrees not to
unreasonably withhold its consent to the same, subject to the
compliance by Tenant with the requirements of this Lease.
Tenant shall submit for Landlord's approval, such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the plans and
specifications prepared by Olson, Lewis & Dioli Architects,
Tenant's Architect, for the Initial Lab Alterations. Tenant
shall use the mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer
approved by Landlord for the design and installation of the
Initial Lab Alterations. The plans and specifications shall be
submitted to Landlord for its review and approval at the space
plan phase, the permitting phase, and the construction
documents phase. Landlord shall review and respond with its
approval or detailed comments to each phase of such plans and
specifications for the Lab Space within 10 business days of
receiving the initial draft thereof, and any failure to
respond shall constitute the basis for a claim of Landlord
Delay. In the event that Landlord requires changes to the
4
<PAGE>
proposed plans, Landlord shall review and respond with its
approval or detailed comments to Tenant's submission of
revised plans within 10 business days for work which
materially affects structure or mechanical, plumbing or
electrical systems, and for all other work within 5 business
days. Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the
design of Tenant's plans (including, without limitation,
compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural
integrity of the design, the configuration of the Initial Lab
Alterations and the placement of Tenant's furniture,
appliances and equipment), and Landlord's approval of Tenant's
plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility
for such design. Landlord's approval of the contractors to
perform the Initial Lab Alterations shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The parties agree that Landlord's approval of the
general contractor to perform the Initial Lab Alterations
shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld if any
such general contractor (i) does not have trade references
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) does not maintain
insurance as required pursuant to the terms of this Lease,
(iii) does not have the ability to be bonded for the work in
an amount of the total estimated cost of the Initial Lab
Alterations, (iv) does not provide current financial
statements reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (v) is not
licensed as a contractor in the state/municipality in which
the Premises is located, and (vi) will work without
interference and in harmony with other labor on the Property.
Tenant acknowledges the foregoing is not intended to be an
exclusive list of the reasons why Landlord may reasonably
withhold its consent to a general contractor.
Landlord hereby approves the Richmond Group to serve as
Tenant's general contractor for the Initial Lab Alterations,
provided that (a) Tenant and the Richmond Group (or any
successor general contractor which may be approved by Landlord
in accordance with this Lease) shall use union carpenters for
Initial Lab Alterations, and (b) Tenant shall cause all labor
performing the Initial Lab Alterations to work without
interference and in harmony with other labor working on the
Property.
B. Landlord agrees to contribute the sum of $2,490,900.00 (the
"Lab Allowance") toward the cost of performing the Initial Lab
Alterations in preparation of Tenant's occupancy of the Lab
Space. The Lab Allowance may only be used for (i) the cost of
preparing design and construction documents and mechanical and
electrical plans for the Initial Lab Alterations for the Lab
Space, (ii) telecommunications and computer wiring and cabling
in connection with the Initial Lab Alterations for the Lab
Space, (iii) hard costs in connection with the Initial Lab
Alterations for the Lab Space, (iv) furniture for the Lab
Space, (iv) Tenant's actual moving expenses in connection with
moving to the Lab Space, and (v) management of the
construction of the improvements to the Lab Space. The Lab
Allowance, less the retainage (which retainage shall be
governed by the same provisions as apply to the Office
Allowance), shall be paid to Tenant or, at Landlord's option,
to the order of the general contractor that performed the
Initial Lab Alterations, in periodic disbursements within 25
days after receipt of the following documentation: (i) an
application for payment and sworn statement of contractor
substantially in the form of AIA Document G-702 covering all
work for which disbursement is to be made to a date specified
therein; (ii) a certification from an architect registered in
Massachusetts substantially in the form of the Architect's
Certificate for Payment which is located on AIA Document G702,
Application and Certificate of Payment;
5
<PAGE>
(iii) Contractor's, subcontractor's and material supplier's
waivers of liens which shall cover all Initial Lab Alterations
for which disbursement is being requested and all other
statements and forms required for compliance with the
mechanics' lien laws of the state in which the Premises is
located, together with all such invoices, contracts, or other
supporting data as Landlord or Landlord's Mortgagee may
reasonably require; (iv) a cost breakdown for each trade or
subcontractor performing the Initial Lab Alterations; (v)
plans and specifications for the Initial Lab Alterations,
together with a certificate from an architect registered in
Massachusetts that such plans and specifications comply in all
material respects with all Laws affecting the Building,
Property and Premises; (vi) copies of all construction
contracts for the Initial Lab Alterations, together with
copies of all change orders, if any; (vii) a request to
disburse from Tenant containing an approval by Tenant of the
work done and a good faith estimate of the cost to complete
the Initial Lab Alterations; and (viii) written evidence of
paid bills for which Tenant is seeking reimbursement. Upon
completion of the Initial Lab Alterations, and prior to final
disbursement of the Lab Allowance, Tenant shall furnish
Landlord with: (1) general contractor and architect's
completion affidavits, (2) full and final waivers of lien, (3)
receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and
used, (4) as-built plans of the Initial Lab Alterations in
print and electronic CAD format, and (5) the certification of
Tenant's architect that the Initial Lab Alterations have been
installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with
the approved plans, and in accordance with applicable Laws,
codes and ordinances. In no event shall Landlord be required
to disburse the Lab Allowance more than one time per month. If
the cost of the Initial Lab Alterations exceeds the Lab
Allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to the Lab Allowance in
accordance with the terms hereof, but each individual
disbursement of the Lab Allowance shall be disbursed in the
proportion that the Lab Allowance bears to the total cost for
the Initial Lab Alterations, subject to the retainage
provisions referenced above. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse
any portion of the Lab Allowance during the continuance of an
uncured default under the Lease, and Landlord's obligation to
disburse shall only resume when and if such default is cured.
C. In no event shall the Lab Allowance be used for the purchase of
equipment, furniture or other items of personal property of Tenant,
except as expressly set forth herein. If Tenant does not submit a
request for payment of the entire Lab Allowance to Landlord in
accordance with the provisions contained in this Exhibit by June 30,
2005, any unused amount shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord,
it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit,
abatement or other concession in connection therewith. Tenant shall be
responsible for all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any,
payable in connection with the Initial Lab Alterations and/or Lab
Allowance.
D. Except for Landlord's obligation to complete Landlord's Work as
provided herein, Tenant agrees to accept the Lab Space in its "as-is"
condition and configuration, it being agreed that, except as otherwise
set forth in the Lease, Landlord shall not be required to perform any
work or, except as provided above with respect to Landlord's Work and
the Lab Allowance, incur any costs in connection with the construction
or demolition of any improvements in the Lab Space.
E. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space
added to the Lab
6
<PAGE>
Space at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under
the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Lab Space or
any additions to the Lab Space in the event of a renewal or extension
of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the
Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any
amendment or supplement to the Lease.
C. DRAWING ALLOWANCE AND ADDITIONAL ALLOWANCE. In addition to the

the maximum Additional Allowance is drawn, pursuant to the same
calculation). The Additional Allowance shall be paid in accordance with
Sections A.I.B. and B.II.B. above. If Tenant does not submit a request

EXHIBIT E
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between
MA-RIVERVIEW/245 FIRST STREET, L.L.C., A DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
("Landlord") and VIACELL, INC., A MASSACHUSETTS CORPORATION ("Tenant") for space
in the Building located at 245 First Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142.
I. PARKING.
A. During the initial Term, commencing on the Office Space
Commencement Date Tenant agrees to lease from Landlord and
Landlord agrees to lease to Tenant a total of 52 unreserved
parking spaces (collectively, the "Spaces") in, or on the roof
of, the Building garage ("Garage") for the use of Tenant and
its employees. No deductions or allowances shall be made for
days when Tenant or any of its employees does not utilize the
parking facilities or for Tenant utilizing less than all of
the Spaces; provided however that Tenant may choose to lease
less than the 52 spaces from time to time and reserve the
right to lease the balance of the 52 spaces provided that
Tenant must lease the balance or lose its priority rights to
such spaces within 30 days after Landlord has given written
notice to Tenant that the Building has achieved 90% occupancy.
Tenant shall have the right to lease or otherwise use an
additional 36 unreserved parking spaces on a month-to month
basis until such spaces are leased to a new tenant of the
Building. Landlord agrees to give Tenant 30 days prior written
notice of its obligation to yield up such additional spaces.
Motorcycles are allowed in the Garage. Landlord covenants and
agrees that Landlord shall not grant to any future tenant of
the Property the contractual right to lease more than 1.2
spaces per 1,000 square feet of leased space.
B. During the initial Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as
Additional Rent in accordance with Article IV of the Lease,
the sum of $175.00 per month for each unreserved Space leased
by Tenant hereunder for the first 5 years of the Term and
thereafter, as such rates may be adjusted from time to time to
reflect the then current rate for parking in similar parking
facilities in the Kendall Square/East Cambridge area. During
the construction of the Initial Improvements, Tenant's
contractors and subcontractors shall have the right to park in
the Garage for a cost of $5.00 per day (regardless of the
number of trips in and out of the Garage by any such
contractor or subcontractor in that day).
C. Except for particular spaces and areas designated by Landlord
for reserved parking, all parking in the Garage and surface
parking areas serving the Building shall be on an unreserved,
first-come, first-served basis.
D. Landlord shall not be responsible for money, jewelry,
automobiles or other personal property lost in or stolen from
the Garage or the surface parking areas regardless of whether
such loss or theft occurs when the Garage or other areas
therein are locked or otherwise secured. Except as caused by
the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and without
limiting the terms of the preceding
1
<PAGE>
sentence, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or
damage to persons using the Garage or the surface parking
areas or automobiles or other property therein, it being
agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the use
of the Spaces shall be at the sole risk of Tenant and its
employees.
E. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to designate
the location of the Spaces and to promulgate reasonable rules
and regulations regarding the Garage, the surface parking
areas, if any, the Spaces and the use thereof, including, but
not limited to, rules and regulations controlling the flow of
traffic to and from various parking areas, the angle and
direction of parking and the like. Tenant shall comply with
and cause its employees to comply with all such rules and
regulations as well as all reasonable additions and amendments
thereto.
F. Tenant shall not store or permit its employees to store any
automobiles in the Garage or on the surface parking areas
without the prior written consent of Landlord. Except for
emergency repairs, Tenant and its employees shall not perform
any work on any automobiles while located in the Garage or on
the Property. If it is necessary for Tenant or its employees
to leave an automobile in the Garage or on the surface parking
areas overnight, Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior
notice thereof designating the license plate number and model
of such automobile.
G. Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close the Garage
or certain areas therein in order to perform necessary
repairs, maintenance and improvements to the Garage or the
surface parking areas, if any. During such period, the
Additional Rent for the parking spaces as to which Tenant is
denied access shall be abated on a per space, per diem basis.
H. Other than in connection with a sublease or assignment of this
Lease, Tenant shall not assign or sublease any of the Spaces
without the consent of Landlord.
I. Landlord shall provide Tenant with one card or key for each
Space that Tenant is leasing hereunder, provided that Landlord
shall have the right to condition the issuance of a
replacement and or key any lost or damaged cards or keys to
Tenant's payment of the actual cost thereof.
J. Landlord hereby reserves the right to enter into a management
agreement or lease with an entity for the Garage ("Garage
Operator"). In such event, Tenant, upon request of Landlord,
shall enter into a parking agreement with the Garage Operator
and pay the Garage Operator the monthly charge established
hereunder, and Landlord shall have no liability for claims
arising through acts or omissions of the Garage Operator
unless caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct,
provided that Landlord shall not be relieved of its
responsibility hereunder to provide the parking rights herein
described. It is understood and agreed that the identity of
the Garage Operator may change from time to time during the
Term. In connection therewith, any parking lease or agreement
entered into between Tenant and a Garage Operator shall be
freely assignable by such Garage Operator or any successors
thereto.
II. FIRST RENEWAL OPTION.
2
<PAGE>
A. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term (the "First
Renewal Option") for one additional period of 5 years
commencing on the day following the Termination Date of the
initial Term and ending on the fifth anniversary of the
Termination Date (the "First Renewal Term"), if:
1. Tenant delivers written notice of exercise of the
First Renewal Option ("First Renewal Notice") not
less than 12 full calendar months prior to the
expiration of the initial Term; and
2. Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any
applicable cure periods at the time that Tenant
delivers its First Renewal Notice or at the time
Tenant delivers its First Binding Notice (defined
below); and
3. Not more than 50% of the Premises is sublet for the
remainder of the Initial Term at the time that Tenant
delivers its First Renewal Notice or at the time
Tenant delivers its First Binding Notice; and
4. Except for a Permitted Transfer, the Lease has not
been assigned prior to the date that Tenant delivers
its First Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant
delivers its First Binding Notice; and
B. The Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the Premises
during the First Renewal Term shall equal the Prevailing
Market (defined below) rate per rentable square foot for the
Premises.
C. Tenant shall pay Additional Rent (i.e., Expense Excess and Tax
Excess) for the Premises during the First Renewal Term in
accordance with Article IV of the Lease.
D. If Tenant timely delivers Tenant's First Renewal Notice,
Landlord shall advise Tenant not less than 11 months prior to
the expiration of the initial Term of the applicable Base Rent
rate for the Premises for the First Renewal Term. Tenant,
within 15 days after the date on which Landlord advises Tenant
of the applicable Base Rent rate for the First Renewal Term,
shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written notice
("First Binding Notice") of Tenant's exercise of its option,
or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord's determination,
provide Landlord with written notice of rejection (the "First
Rejection Notice"). If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with
either a First Binding Notice or First Rejection Notice within
such 15 day period, Tenant's First Renewal Option shall be
null and void and of no further force and effect. If Tenant
provides Landlord with a First Binding Notice, Landlord and
Tenant shall enter into the First Renewal Amendment upon the
terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides
Landlord with a First Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant
shall work together in good faith to agree upon the Prevailing
Market Base Rent rate for the Premises during the First
Renewal Term. Upon agreement Tenant shall provide Landlord
with First Binding Notice and Landlord and Tenant shall enter
into the First Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Prevailing
Market Base Rent rate for the Premises for the First Renewal
3
<PAGE>
Term within 30 days after the date on which Tenant provides
Landlord with a First Rejection Notice, Tenant, by written
notice to Landlord (the "First Arbitration Notice") within 5
days after the expiration of such 30 day period, shall have
the right to have the Prevailing Market rate determined in
accordance with the arbitration procedures described in
Section E below. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree
upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises within the 30
day period described and Tenant fails to timely exercise its
right to arbitrate, Tenant's First Renewal Option shall be
deemed to be null and void and of no further force and effect.
E. Arbitration Procedure.
1. If Tenant provides Landlord with a First Arbitration
Notice, Landlord and Tenant, within 5 days after the
date of the First Arbitration Notice, shall each
simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed
envelope, its good faith estimate of the Prevailing
Market rate for the Premises during the First Renewal
Term (collectively referred to as the "Estimates").
If the higher of such Estimates is not more than 105%
of the lower of such Estimates, then Prevailing
Market rate shall be the average of the two
Estimates. If the Prevailing Market rate is not
resolved by the exchange of Estimates, then, within 7
days after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and
Tenant shall each select an appraiser to determine
which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the
First Renewal Term. Each appraiser so selected shall
be certified as an MAI appraiser or as an ASA
appraiser and shall have had at least 5 years
experience within the previous 10 years as a real
estate appraiser working in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
or shall be a licensed commercial real estate broker
with at least 10 years of experience working in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, with working knowledge of
current rental rates and practices. For purposes
hereof, an "MAI" appraiser means an individual who
holds an MAI designation conferred by, and is an
independent member of, the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers (or its successor organization, or
in the event there is no successor organization, the
organization and designation most similar), and an
"ASA" appraiser means an individual who holds the
Senior Member designation conferred by, and is an
independent member of, the American Society of
Appraisers (or its successor organization, or, in the
event there is no successor organization, the
organization and designation most similar).
2. Upon selection, Landlord's and Tenant's appraisers
shall work together in good faith to agree upon which
of the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing Market rate for the Premises. The Estimate
chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both
Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent rate for the
Premises during the First Renewal Term. If either
Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser
within the 7 day period referred to above, the
appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the
sole appraiser for the purposes hereof. If the two
appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two
Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market
within 20 days after their appointment, then, within
10 days after the expiration of such 20 day period,
the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser
meeting the
4
<PAGE>
aforementioned criteria. Once the third appraiser
(i.e. arbitrator) has been selected as provided for
above, then, as soon thereafter as practicable but in
any case within 14 days, the arbitrator shall make
his determination of which of the two Estimates most
closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate and such
Estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant
as the Base Rent rate for the Premises. If the
arbitrator believes that expert advice would
materially assist him, he may retain one or more
qualified persons to provide such expert advice. The
parties shall share equally in the costs of the
arbitrator and of any experts retained by the
arbitrator. Any fees of any appraiser, counsel or
experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant,
however, shall be borne by the party retaining such
appraiser, counsel or expert.
3. If the Prevailing Market rate has not been determined
by the commencement date of the First Renewal Term,
Tenant shall pay Base Rent upon the terms and
conditions in effect during the last month of the
initial Term for the Premises until such time as the
Prevailing Market rate has been determined. Upon such
determination, the Base Rent for the Premises shall
be retroactively adjusted to the commencement of the
First Renewal Term for the Premises. If such
adjustment results in an underpayment of Base Rent by
Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such
underpayment within 30 days after the determination
thereof. If such adjustment results in an overpayment
of Base Rent by Tenant, Landlord shall credit such
overpayment against the next installment of Base Rent
due under the Lease and, to the extent necessary, any
subsequent installments, until the entire amount of
such overpayment has been credited against Base Rent.
F. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its First
Renewal Option, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the
"First Renewal Amendment") to reflect changes in the Base
Rent, Term, Termination Date and other appropriate terms. The
First Renewal Amendment shall be:
1. sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt
of the First Binding Notice; and
2. executed by Tenant and returned to Landlord in
accordance with the terms herein.
An otherwise valid exercise of the First Renewal Option shall
be fully effective whether or not the First Renewal Amendment
is executed.
G. For purposes of this Paragraph II only, "Prevailing Market"
shall mean the arms length fair market annual rental rate per
rentable square foot under new or renewal leases and
amendments entered into on or about the date on which the
Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder for space
comparable to the Premises in the Building and office
buildings comparable to the Building in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. The determination of Prevailing Market shall
take into account any material economic differences between
the terms of the Lease and any comparison lease, such as rent
abatements, construction costs and
5
<PAGE>
other concessions and the manner, if any, in which the
Landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating
expenses and taxes. The determination of Prevailing Market
shall also take into consideration any reasonably anticipated
changes in the Prevailing Market rate from the time such
Prevailing Market rate is being determined and the time such
Prevailing Market rate will become effective under the Lease.
III. SECOND RENEWAL OPTION.
A. If Tenant properly exercises its First Renewal Option pursuant
to Paragraph II above, Tenant shall have the right to extend
the Term (the "Second Renewal Option") for one additional
period of 5 years commencing on the day following the
Termination Date of the First Renewal Term and ending on the
tenth anniversary of the Termination Date (the "Second Renewal
Term"), if:
1. Tenant delivers written notice of exercise of the
Second Renewal Option ("Second Renewal Notice") not
less than 12 full calendar months prior to the
expiration of the First Renewal Term; and
2. Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any
applicable cure periods at the time that Tenant
delivers its Second Renewal Notice or at the time
Tenant delivers its Second Binding Notice (defined
below); and
3. Not more than 50% of the Premises is sublet for the
remainder of the Initial Term at the time that Tenant
delivers its Second Renewal Notice or at the time
Tenant delivers its Second Binding Notice; and
4. Except for Permitted Transfers, the Lease has not
been assigned prior to the date that Tenant delivers
its Second Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant
delivers its Second Binding Notice; and
B. The Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the Premises
during the Second Renewal Term shall equal the Prevailing
Market (defined below) rate per rentable square foot for the
Premises.
C. Tenant shall pay Additional Rent (i.e., Expense Excess and Tax
Excess) for the Premises during the Second Renewal Term in
accordance with Article IV of the Lease.
D. If Tenant timely delivers Tenant's Second Renewal Notice,
Landlord shall advise Tenant not less than 11 months prior to
the expiration of the First Renewal Term of the applicable
Base Rent rate for the Premises for the Second Renewal Term.
Tenant, within 15 days after the date on which Landlord
advises Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Second
Renewal Term, shall either (i) give Landlord final binding
written notice ("Second Binding Notice") of Tenant's exercise
of its option, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord's
determination, provide Landlord with written notice of
rejection (the "Second Rejection Notice"). If Tenant fails to
provide Landlord with either a Second Binding Notice or Second
Rejection Notice within such 15 day period, Tenant's Second
Renewal Option shall be null and void and of no further force
and effect. If Tenant provides
6
<PAGE>
Landlord with a Second Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant
shall enter into the Second Renewal Amendment upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides Landlord
with a Second Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work
together in good faith to agree upon the Prevailing Market
Base Rent rate for the Premises during the Second Renewal
Term. Upon agreement Tenant shall provide Landlord with Second
Binding Notice and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the
Second Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord
and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Prevailing Market Base
Rent rate for the Premises for the Second Renewal Term within
30 days after the date on which Tenant provides Landlord with
a Second Rejection Notice, Tenant, by written notice to
Landlord (the "Second Arbitration Notice") within 5 days after
the expiration of such 30 day period, shall have the right to
have the Prevailing Market rate determined in accordance with
the arbitration procedures described in Section E below. If
Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Prevailing
Market rate for the Premises within the 30 day period
described and Tenant fails to timely exercise its right to
arbitrate, Tenant's Second Renewal Option shall be deemed to
be null and void and of no further force and effect.
E. Arbitration Procedure.
1. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Second Arbitration
Notice, Landlord and Tenant, within 5 days after the
date of the Second Arbitration Notice, shall each
simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed
envelope, its good faith estimate of the Prevailing
Market rate for the Premises during the Second
Renewal Term (collectively referred to as the
"Estimates"). If the higher of such Estimates is not
more than 105% of the lower of such Estimates, then
Prevailing Market rate shall be the average of the
two Estimates. If the Prevailing Market rate is not
resolved by the exchange of Estimates, then, within 7
days after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and
Tenant shall each select an appraiser to determine
which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the
Second Renewal Term. Each appraiser so selected shall
be certified as an MAI appraiser or as an ASA
appraiser and shall have had at least 5 years
experience within the previous 10 years as a real
estate appraiser working in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
or shall be a licensed commercial real estate broker
with at least 10 years of experience working in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, with working knowledge of
current rental rates and practices. For purposes
hereof, an "MAI" appraiser means an individual who
holds an MAI designation conferred by, and is an
independent member of, the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers (or its successor organization, or
in the event there is no successor organization, the
organization and designation most similar), and an
"ASA" appraiser means an individual who holds the
Senior Member designation conferred by, and is an
independent member of, the American Society of
Appraisers (or its successor organization, or, in the
event there is no successor organization, the
organization and designation most similar).
7
<PAGE>
2. Upon selection, Landlord's and Tenant's appraisers
shall work together in good faith to agree upon which
of the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing Market rate for the Premises. The Estimate
chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both
Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent rate for the
Premises during the Second Renewal Term. If either
Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser
within the 7 day period referred to above, the
appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the
sole appraiser for the purposes hereof. If the two
appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two
Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market
within 20 days after their appointment, then, within
10 days after the expiration of such 20 day period,
the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser
meeting the aforementioned criteria. Once the third
appraiser (i.e. arbitrator) has been selected as
provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as
practicable but in any case within 14 days, the
arbitrator shall make his determination of which of
the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing Market rate and such Estimate shall be
binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent
rate for the Premises. If the arbitrator believes
that expert advice would materially assist him, he
may retain one or more qualified persons to provide
such expert advice. The parties shall share equally
in the costs of the arbitrator and of any experts
retained by the arbitrator. Any fees of any
appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly by
Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the
party retaining such appraiser, counsel or expert.
3. If the Prevailing Market rate has not been determined
by the commencement date of the Second Renewal Term,
Tenant shall pay Base Rent upon the terms and
conditions in effect during the last month of the
First Renewal Term for the Premises until such time
as the Prevailing Market rate has been determined.
Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the
Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the
commencement of the Second Renewal Term for the
Premises. If such adjustment results in an
underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay
Landlord the amount of such underpayment within 30
days after the determination thereof. If such
adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by
Tenant, Landlord shall credit such overpayment
against the next installment of Base Rent due under
the Lease and, to the extent necessary, any
subsequent installments, until the entire amount of
such overpayment has been credited against Base Rent.
F. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Second
Renewal Option, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the
"Second Renewal Amendment") to reflect changes in the Base
Rent, Term, Termination Date and other appropriate terms. The
Second Renewal Amendment shall be:
1. sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt
of the Second Binding Notice; and
2. executed by Tenant and returned to Landlord in
accordance with the terms herein.
8
<PAGE>
An otherwise valid exercise of the Second Renewal Option shall
be fully effective whether or not the Second Renewal Amendment
is executed.
G. For purposes of this Paragraph III only, "Prevailing Market"
shall mean the arms length fair market annual rental rate per
rentable square foot under new or renewal leases and
amendments entered into on or about the date on which the
Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder for space
comparable to the Premises in the Building and office
buildings comparable to the Building in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. The determination of Prevailing Market shall
take into account any material economic differences between
the terms of the Lease and any comparison lease, such as rent
abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the
manner, if any, in which the Landlord under any such lease is
reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes. The determination
of Prevailing Market shall also take into consideration any
reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing Market rate
from the time such Prevailing Market rate is being determined
and the time such Prevailing Market rate will become effective
under the Lease.
IV. THIRD RENEWAL OPTION.
A. If Tenant properly exercises its Second Renewal Option
pursuant to Paragraph III above, Tenant shall have the right
to extend the Term (the "Third Renewal Option") for one
additional period of 5 years commencing on the day following
the Termination Date of the Second Renewal Term and ending on
the fifteenth anniversary of the Termination Date (the "Third
Renewal Term"), if:
1. Tenant delivers written notice of exercise of the
Third Renewal Option ("Third Renewal Notice") not
less than 12 full calendar months prior to the
expiration of the Second Renewal Term; and
2. Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any
applicable cure periods at the time that Tenant
delivers its Third Renewal Notice or at the time
Tenant delivers its Third Binding Notice (defined
below); and
3. Not more than 50% of the Premises is sublet for the
remainder of the Initial Term at the time that Tenant
delivers its Third Renewal Notice or at the time
Tenant delivers its Third Binding Notice; and
4. Except for Permitted Transfers, the Lease has not
been assigned prior to the date that Tenant delivers
its Third Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant
delivers its Third Binding Notice; and
B. The Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the Premises
during the Third Renewal Term shall equal the Prevailing
Market (defined below) rate per rentable square foot for the
Premises.
C. Tenant shall pay Additional Rent (i.e., Expense Excess and Tax
Excess) for the Premises during the Third Renewal Term in
accordance with Article IV of the Lease.
9
<PAGE>
D. If Tenant timely delivers Tenant's Third Renewal Notice,
Landlord shall advise Tenant not less than 11 months prior to
the expiration of the Second Renewal Term of the applicable
Base Rent rate for the Premises for the Third Renewal Term.
Tenant, within 15 days after the date on which Landlord
advises Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Third
Renewal Term, shall either (i) give Landlord final binding
written notice ("Third Binding Notice") of Tenant's exercise
of its option, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord's
determination, provide Landlord with written notice of
rejection (the "Third Rejection Notice"). If Tenant fails to
provide Landlord with either a Third Binding Notice or Third
Rejection Notice within such 15 day period, Tenant's Third
Renewal Option shall be null and void and of no further force
and effect. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Third Binding
Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Third Renewal
Amendment upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If
Tenant provides Landlord with a Third Rejection Notice,
Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree
upon the Prevailing Market Base Rent rate for the Premises
during the Third Renewal Term. Upon agreement Tenant shall
provide Landlord with Third Binding Notice and Landlord and
Tenant shall enter into the Third Renewal Amendment in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant are
unable to agree upon the Prevailing Market Base Rent rate for
the Premises for the Third Renewal Term within 30 days after
the date on which Tenant provides Landlord with a Third
Rejection Notice, Tenant, by written notice to Landlord (the
"Third Arbitration Notice") within 5 days after the expiration
of such 30 day period, shall have the right to have the
Prevailing Market rate determined in accordance with the
arbitration procedures described in Section E below. If
Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Prevailing
Market rate for the Premises within the 30 day period
described and Tenant fails to timely exercise its right to
arbitrate, Tenant's Third Renewal Option shall be deemed to be
null and void and of no further force and effect.
E. Arbitration Procedure.
1. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Third Arbitration
Notice, Landlord and Tenant, within 5 days after the
date of the Third Arbitration Notice, shall each
simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed
envelope, its good faith estimate of the Prevailing
Market rate for the Premises during the Third Renewal
Term (collectively referred to as the "Estimates").
If the higher of such Estimates is not more than 105%
of the lower of such Estimates, then Prevailing
Market rate shall be the average of the two
Estimates. If the Prevailing Market rate is not
resolved by the exchange of Estimates, then, within 7
days after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and
Tenant shall each select an appraiser to determine
which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the
Third Renewal Term. Each appraiser so selected shall
be certified as an MAI appraiser or as an ASA
appraiser and shall have had at least 5 years
experience within the previous 10 years as a real
estate appraiser working in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
or shall be a licensed commercial real estate broker
with at least 10 years of experience working in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, with working
10
<PAGE>
knowledge of current rental rates and practices. For
purposes hereof, an "MAI" appraiser means an
individual who holds an MAI designation conferred by,
and is an independent member of, the American
Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or its successor
organization, or in the event there is no successor
organization, the organization and designation most
similar), and an "ASA" appraiser means an individual
who holds the Senior Member designation conferred by,
and is an independent member of, the American Society
of Appraisers (or its successor organization, or, in
the event there is no successor organization, the
organization and designation most similar).
2. Upon selection, Landlord's and Tenant's appraisers
shall work together in good faith to agree upon which
of the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing Market rate for the Premises. The Estimate
chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both
Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent rate for the
Premises during the Third Renewal Term. If either
Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser
within the 7 day period referred to above, the
appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the
sole appraiser for the purposes hereof. If the two
appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two
Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market
within 20 days after their appointment, then, within
10 days after the expiration of such 20 day period,
the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser
meeting the aforementioned criteria. Once the third
appraiser (i.e. arbitrator) has been selected as
provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as
practicable but in any case within 14 days, the
arbitrator shall make his determination of which of
the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing Market rate and such Estimate shall be
binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent
rate for the Premises. If the arbitrator believes
that expert advice would materially assist him, he
may retain one or more qualified persons to provide
such expert advice. The parties shall share equally
in the costs of the arbitrator and of any experts
retained by the arbitrator. Any fees of any
appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly by
Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the
party retaining such appraiser, counsel or expert.
3. If the Prevailing Market rate has not been determined
by the commencement date of the Third Renewal Term,
Tenant shall pay Base Rent upon the terms and
conditions in effect during the last month of the
First Renewal Term for the Premises until such time
as the Prevailing Market rate has been determined.
Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the
Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the
commencement of the Third Renewal Term for the
Premises. If such adjustment results in an
underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay
Landlord the amount of such underpayment within 30
days after the determination thereof. If such
adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by
Tenant, Landlord shall credit such overpayment
against the next installment of Base Rent due under
the Lease and, to the extent necessary, any
subsequent installments, until the entire amount of
such overpayment has been credited against Base Rent.
11
<PAGE>
F. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Third
Renewal Option, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the
"Third Renewal Amendment") to reflect changes in the Base
Rent, Term, Termination Date and other appropriate terms. The
Third Renewal Amendment shall be:
1. sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt
of the Third Binding Notice; and
2. executed by Tenant and returned to Landlord in
accordance with the terms herein.
An otherwise valid exercise of the Third Renewal Option shall
be fully effective whether or not the Third Renewal Amendment
is executed.
G. For purposes of this Paragraph III only, "Prevailing Market"
shall mean the arms length fair market annual rental rate per
rentable square foot under new or renewal leases and
amendments entered into on or about the date on which the
Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder for space
comparable to the Premises in the Building and office
buildings comparable to the Building in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. The determination of Prevailing Market shall
take into account any material economic differences between
the terms of the Lease and any comparison lease, such as rent
abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the
manner, if any, in which the Landlord under any such lease is
reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes. The determination
of Prevailing Market shall also take into consideration any
reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing Market rate
from the time such Prevailing Market rate is being determined
and the time such Prevailing Market rate will become effective
under the Lease.
V. EXTERIOR SIGNAGE.
A. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, subject to
governmental restrictions, regulations and approval, shall
have the exclusive right to erect 1 sign identifying Tenant
(the "Exterior Sign") on the Science Building exterior at the
location shown on EXHIBIT G attached hereto, on the terms set
forth herein. At least 30 days prior to Tenant's submission of
an application for governmental approval of the proposed
Exterior Sign, Tenant shall submit detailed drawings of its
proposed Exterior Sign to Landlord for Landlord's review and
approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Such
drawings shall include, without limitation, detailed
information concerning the size, material, shape, color,
lettering, and method of installation of the proposed Exterior
Sign. The approved Exterior Sign plans shall be attached
hereto as a part of EXHIBIT G upon approval. Tenant shall be
solely responsible for the obtaining of all governmental
approvals required in connection with the Exterior Sign, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense. All maintenance and repair of
the Exterior Sign shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
B. Landlord, upon the expiration date or sooner termination of
this Lease, shall have the right to remove the Exterior Sign
at Tenant's sole cost and expense. In addition, Landlord, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall have the right to remove
the Exterior Sign at any time during the Term at Tenant's sole
cost and
12
<PAGE>
expense (1) in the event of a Lease assignment other than
pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, (2) if Tenant or a party
pursuant to a Permitted Transfer occupies less than 75% of the
rentable square feet of the Premises, or (3) if Tenant
defaults under any term or condition of the Lease and fails to
cure such default within any applicable notice, grace and cure
period and Landlord subsequently terminates the Lease.
C. No other tenant identification signage may be attached to the
exterior of the Science Building. Landlord expressly reserves
the right to install building identification signage on the
Science Building and to install any signage on the Office
Building and Common Areas.
VI. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER; CONDITIONS.
A. During the Term hereof, Tenant shall have a continuous right
of first offer (the "Right of First Offer"), after initial
lease up with respect to the space located on the 2nd and 3rd

respect to any space on the 16th floor of the Office Building,
and on any space on the 14th and 17th floors of the Office
Building, each as shown on the demising plan attached hereto
as EXHIBIT H (the "Offering Space"). Tenant's Right of First
Offer shall be exercised as follows: at any time after
Landlord has determined that the initial or existing tenant in

lease for the Offering Space (but prior to leasing such
Offering Space to a party other than the initial or existing
tenant and not more than twelve (12) months prior to the
proposed commencement date for the Offering Space), Landlord
shall advise Tenant (the "Advice") of the terms under which
Landlord is prepared to lease the Offering Space to Tenant for
the remainder of the Term, which terms shall reflect the
Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate for such Offering
Space as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant may lease
such offering Space in its entirety only, under such terms, by
delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the "Notice
of Exercise") within 15 business days after the date of the
Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First
Offer and Landlord need not provide Tenant with an Advice, if:
1. Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any
applicable cure periods at the time that Landlord
would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
2. More than 50% of the Premises is sublet for the
remainder of the Initial Term or any extension

as defined in Article XII of the Lease) at the time
Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
3. the Lease has been assigned (other than pursuant to a
Permitted Transfer, as defined in Article XII of the
Lease) prior to the date Landlord would otherwise
deliver the Advice; or

shall either accept Landlord's terms, or shall agree to lease the
Offering Space but elect to have the rent therefor determined by
arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Procedure employed for
the Renewal Options under clause E of Sections II, III and IV above (it
being agreed that such rent arbitration shall be binding upon the
parties). In the event Tenant rejects or is deemed to have rejected the
offer set forth in the Advice, Landlord shall be free for a period of
12 months after the date of the rejection or deemed rejection
("Marketing Period") to lease the Offering Space to a third party or
parties on terms not materially more favorable to such party or parties
than the terms set forth in the Advice (with respect to rental rate,
"materially" as used herein shall mean a rental rate that is more than
five percent (5%) lower than the financial terms set forth in the
Advice, including, without limitation, net effective rent, tenant
improvement allowance, brokerage fees and other economic
considerations). In the event Landlord has not by the expiration of the
Marketing Period executed a letter of intent with a third party
complying with the foregoing sentence, then Tenant's right of first
offer shall again apply to the Offering Space.
B. Terms for Offering Space.
1. The term for the Offering Space shall commence upon
the commencement date stated in the Advice and
thereupon such Offering Space shall be considered a
part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms
stated in the Advice (or as determined by rent
arbitration) shall govern Tenant's leasing of the

personalty, if any) shall be accepted by Tenant in
its condition and as-built configuration existing on
the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of
the Offering Space or as of the date the term for
such Offering Space commences, unless the Advice
specifies any work to be performed by Landlord in the
Offering Space, in which case Landlord shall perform
such work in the Offering Space. If Landlord is
delayed delivering possession of the Offering Space
due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such
space by any party, Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to obtain possession of the space, and the
commencement of the term for the Offering Space shall
be postponed until the date

considered to be comparable for purposes hereof: (i) the lease
term is for less than the lease term of the Offering Space,
(ii) the space is encumbered by the option rights of another

not for use by third parties, as approved by the Landlord (the
"Rooftop Equipment"). The exact location of the space on the
roof to be leased by Tenant shall be designated by Landlord
and shall not exceed 344 square feet (the "Roof Space"), and
shall be in the location designated in EXHIBIT A. Landlord
reserves the right to relocate the Roof Space as reasonably
necessary during the Term at Landlord's expense, with a

requirements and the requirements of the City of Cambridge
with respect to noise and screening, and the manner in which
any cables and utility service are run to and from the Rooftop
Equipment. The precise specifications and a general
description of the Rooftop Equipment along with all documents
Landlord reasonably requires to review the installation of the
Rooftop Equipment (the "Plans and Specifications") shall be
submitted to Landlord for Landlord's written approval no later

Equipment. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining
all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals and for
the cost of installing, operating, maintaining and removing
the Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall notify Landlord upon
completion of the installation of the Rooftop Equipment. If
Landlord determines that the Rooftop Equipment does not comply
with the approved Plans and Specifications, that the Building

Building caused by such installation. If at any time,
Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary,Tenant
shall provide and install, at Tenant's sole
20
<PAGE>
cost and expense, appropriate aesthetic screening, reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, for the Rooftop Equipment.
B. Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon reasonable prior written
notice to Landlord, shall have access to the roof of the
Science Building and the Roof Space for the purpose of
installing, maintaining, repairing and removing the Rooftop
Equipment, and its appurtenances, if any, all of which shall
be performed by Tenant or Tenant's authorized representative
or contractors, which shall be approved by Landlord, at
Tenant's sole cost and risk. It is agreed, however, that only
authorized engineers, employees or properly authorized
contractors of Tenant or persons under their direct
supervision will be permitted to have access to the roof of
the Science Building and the Roof Space. Tenant further agrees
to exercise firm control over the people requiring access to
the roof of the Science Building and the Roof Space in order
to keep to a minimum the number of people having access to the
roof of the Science Building and the Roof Space and the
frequency of their visits.
C. It is further understood and agreed that the installation,
maintenance, operation and removal of the Rooftop Equipment
and any appurtenances is not permitted to damage the Science
Building or the roof thereof, or interfere with the use of the
Science Building and roof by Landlord. Tenant agrees to be
responsible for any damage caused to the roof or any other
part of the Science Building, which may be caused by Tenant or
any of its agents or representatives.
D. Tenant agrees to install only equipment which will not cause
unreasonable interference to Landlord or existing tenants of
the Building. In the event Tenant's equipment causes such
interference, Tenant will take any steps necessary to
eliminate the interference. If said interference cannot be
eliminated within a reasonable period of time, in the judgment
of Landlord, then Tenant agrees to remove the Rooftop
Equipment from the Roof Space.
E. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at its sole
risk, install, operate and maintain the Rooftop Equipment in a
good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all
Building, electric, communication, and safety codes,
ordinances, standards, regulations and requirements, now in
effect or hereafter promulgated, of the Federal Government,
and of the state, city and county in which the Building is
located, including without limitation, all requirements of the
City of Cambridge. Under this Lease, the Landlord and its
agents assume no responsibility for the licensing, operation
and/or maintenance of Tenant's equipment. The Rooftop
Equipment shall be connected to Landlord's power supply in
strict compliance with all applicable Building, electrical,
fire and safety codes. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall
be liable to Tenant for any stoppages or shortages of
electrical power furnished to the Rooftop Equipment or the
Roof Space because of any act, omission or requirement of the
public utility serving the Building, or the act or omission of
any other tenant, invitee or licensee or their respective
agents, employees or contractors, or for any other cause
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and Tenant shall
not be entitled to any rental abatement for any such stoppage
or shortage of electrical power. Neither Landlord nor its
agents shall have any responsibility or liability for the
conduct or safety of any of Tenant's representatives, repair,
maintenance
21
<PAGE>
and engineering personnel while in or on any part of the
Building or the Roof Space.
F. Except for the generator, the Rooftop Equipment and any
appurtenances thereto shall remain the personal property of
Tenant, and shall be removed by Tenant at its own expense at
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or
Tenant's right to possession hereunder. Tenant shall repair
any damage caused by such removal, including the patching of
any holes to match, as closely as possible, the color
surrounding the area where the equipment and appurtenances
were attached. Tenant agrees to maintain all of the Tenant's
equipment placed on or about the roof or in any other part of
the Building in proper operating condition and maintain same
in satisfactory condition as to appearance and safety in
Landlord's sole discretion. Such maintenance and operation
shall be performed in a manner to avoid any interference with
any other tenants or Landlord. Tenant agrees that at all times
during the Term, it will keep the roof of the Building and the
Roof Space free of all trash or waste materials produced by
Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or contractors. It is
expressly agreed that the generator shall remain on the Roof
Space and shall become the property of Landlord upon the
expiration of the Term or earlier termination thereof.
G. In light of the specialized nature of the Rooftop Equipment,
Tenant shall be permitted to utilize the services of its
choice for installation, operation, removal and repair of the
Rooftop Equipment and its appurtenances, subject to the
reasonable approval of Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant must provide Landlord with prior written
notice of any such installation, removal or repair and
coordinate such work with Landlord in order to avoid voiding
or otherwise adversely affecting any warranties granted to
Landlord with respect to the roof. If necessary, Tenant, at
its sole cost and expense, shall retain any contractor having
a then existing warranty in effect on the roof to perform such
work (to the extent that it involves the roof), or, at
Tenant's option, to perform such work in conjunction with
Tenant's contractor.
H. Tenant shall not allow any provider of generators or satellite
dishes or related services ("Rooftop Equipment Services") to
locate any equipment on the roof of the Science Building or in
the Roof Space for any purpose whatsoever, nor may Tenant use
the Roof Space and/or Rooftop Equipment to provide Rooftop
Equipment Services to an unaffiliated tenant, occupant or
licensee of another building, or to facilitate the provision
of Rooftop Equipment Services on behalf of another Rooftop
Equipment Services provider to an unaffiliated tenant,
occupant or licensee of the Science Building or any other
building.
I. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may at some time establish a
standard license agreement (the "License Agreement") with
respect to the use of roof space by tenants of the Building.
Tenant, upon request of Landlord, shall enter into such
License Agreement with Landlord provided that such agreement
does not materially alter the rights of Tenant hereunder with
respect to the Roof Space.
J. Tenant specifically acknowledges and agrees that the terms and
conditions of Article XIV of the Lease (Indemnity and Waiver
of Claims) shall apply with full
22
<PAGE>
force and effect to the Roof Space and any other portions of
the roof accessed or utilized by Tenant, its representatives,
agents, employees or contractors.
K. If Tenant defaults under any of the terms and conditions of
this Section, and Tenant fails to cure said default within the
time allowed by Article XIX of the Lease, Landlord shall be
permitted to exercise all remedies provided under the terms of
the Lease.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY GUIDELINES
FOR TENANT IMPROVEMENT WORK
PURPOSE
In today's society, it is common for individuals to spend upwards of 90% of
their time in an indoor environment, whether at work or at home which makes
planning for good IAQ an important consideration. Tenant improvement work (TIW)
can adversely affect the indoor air quality (IAQ) in tenant spaces. The
following guidelines will minimize these adverse effects by utilizing sound
Architectural, Engineering and Construction Methods. Tenants are responsible for
the design, engineering and the work performed by their consultants and
contractors. During TIW it is important to isolate the construction area from
all occupied and public areas of the building. All parties involved in
designing, approving and constructing your space have an important role to play
in keeping the workplace comfortable and free of indoor pollutants such as dust,
chemicals and volatile organic compounds that can originate from construction
materials and building furnishings. Where feasible, occupants should be involved
in decisions affecting their work environment and be considered for temporary
relocation away from construction.
Please share these guidelines with your Architects, Engineers (A/E) and
Contractors at the earliest phase of your planning. Contact the Property Manager
if you have questions about these guidelines.
CONTENTS
Architect and Engineers Responsibilities
Contractor Responsibilities Pre-Construction Phase
Contractor Responsibilities Construction Phase
Completion Phase
ARCHITECT/ENGINEERS RESPONSIBILITIES
1. The A/E shall specify building materials, furnishes, furniture and office
equipment with products that have the lowest toxic-emitting potential as
compared with similar products. The Architect should contact the Property
Manager for names of Indoor Air Quality Material Consultants for this
information if needed. New carpet must have a green label certified by the
Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) and be installed according to CRI
installation
26
<PAGE>
guidelines.
2. The A/E shall avoid specifying materials containing chemicals listed as
potentially carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, neurotoxic or
"sensitizing." The following materials will not be allowed in new
installations.
- Materials containing more than trace (>0.1%) amounts of asbestos.
- Materials that contain halogenated hydrocarbon solvents (i.e.,
methylene choride, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene,
trichloroethane).
- HVAC components internally lined with permeable manmade mineral
fiber products unless coated with "Tuffcoat" or other tough,
resilient coating or mat surface that provides a smooth,
non-shedding surface in contact with the air stream.
- Paints and sealants specified for "outdoor" and/or "marine"
users.
3. The A/E shall review and indicate on the project drawings the route for the
contractor to enter and deliver materials to the construction site. These
routes are known as passageways which are required to isolate the
construction site from occupied spaces and common areas such as lobbies,
elevator and other tenant spaces. Where feasible, construction site
passageways abutting tenant occupied locations shall incorporate single
chamber "air locks" (two sets of doors or plastic strip doors at opposite
ends of an enclosed chamber or small room) into each construction site
entrance. Plastic strip doors shall be minimum 0.120" thick material with
full overlap. Once installed, the air lock shall remain in place for the
duration of the project or until such a time as its presence restricts
final completion of the renovations. Contractor passage routes should avoid
or minimally intersect tenant occupied areas of the building.
4. The A/E shall stamp/certify the renovation drawings after checking that
conflicts with the building's mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and
sprinkler systems are absent or minimized. Additional drawings shall be
prepared showing any required modifications. The Engineer's design must
provide for proper air distribution and ventilation to all occupied areas
with re-configured partitioning and/or HVAC systems. The Engineer's design
for all HVAC systems serving the project area must provide at least the
minimum outside air ventilation rate, on the basis of actual occupancy,
required by the building code, mechanical code or ventilation code
applicable at the time the facility was constructed.
5. The A/E shall document existing site conditions prior to the start of work.
Before finalizing the design, the Designer shall determine the HVAC system
27
<PAGE>
capacity (CFM and supply air temperature) available to the project area.
This determination may be from record ("as-built") drawings where available
or measurements when record drawings are not available or their accuracy is
in question.
CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES (PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE)
1. The Contractor will assist the Property Manager, in providing
pre-construction information sessions to the tenant and adjacent tenants
during project planning stages and/or at least 24 hours prior to project
initiation. The information sessions should address the following:
- Project scope and schedule.
- Anticipated construction impacts on indoor air quality (IAQ) or
workplace conditions.
- Strategy to minimize impact (e.g., engineering controls, material
selection).
- System to log, investigate and resolve occupant complaints
related to construction impacts on IAQ or workplace conditions.
2. Prior to starting work, the Contractor shall furnish copies of MSDS forms
to the Property Manager for all materials to be installed during the
planned renovations.
CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES (CONSTRUCTION PHASE)
1. Contractors shall construct and use only the construction site passageways
indicated on the project drawings as approved by the Property Manager. All
persons and materials passing to the construction site should be fully in
the air lock and the door to the tenant occupied are closed before opening
the construction site door (or flaps). At lease one (set of) air lock doors
(or flaps) must remain closed throughout the renovation process. All
persons leaving the site shall clean their feet on a floor mat in the air
lock prior to entering the tenant occupied part of the building. The
Contractor shall clean the floor mat regularly.
2. Tenant is responsible for assuring that contractors minimize and contain
the spread of odors and contaminants. Activities that have potential to
emit airborne contaminants must be coordinated with the Property Manager.
The Contractor shall:
- Isolate all return air pathways from the construction area.
28
<PAGE>
- Cut and cap all supply air ducts serving the construction area
except for temporary ducts supplying air to the construction area
for temporary heat and air conditioning.
- Install a temporary exhaust to outdoors sufficient to maintain
the construction area at a pressure of -0.02" wg relative to
adjacent occupied spaces. Temporary exhaust to outdoors may be
through existing building exhaust systems or through temporary
louvers installed in place of windows or exterior doors.
3. The Contractor shall maintain air tight duct work throughout the renovation
process to avoid spreading construction related debris and/or airborne
contaminants to the interior of any mechanical system component or to any
construction free zone. Existing HVAC exhaust duct work that is directly
vented outside the building may remain operational during the renovation
process. Upon completion of construction, the Contractor shall remove all
installed seals and temporary ductwork.
4. The Contractor shall install and maintain air-tight seals at all openings
between tenant occupied areas of the building and the construction site
(e.g., doorways, corridors, air plenums, chases, open conduits and duct
work) throughout the course of the renovation activities. Upon completion
of construction, the Contractor shall remove all installed barriers and
seals.
5. The Property Manager will coordinate and direct the Contractor in assuring
that the rest of the building outside the project area remains unaffected
by the project. In particular, HVAC systems altered for the purposes of
controlling renovation site contaminants must continue to provide at least
the minimum outside air ventilation rate to all occupied spaces. The
ventilation rate should be based on actual occupancy, required by the
building code, mechanical code, or ventilation code applicable at the time
the facility was constructed.
The Contractor shall maintain the construction site at negative pressure
(at least -0.02" w.c.) relative to tenant occupied spaces by operating
temporary exhaust equipment at the renovation area. Exhaust fans should
discharge construction area air directly outside the building through
available windows or doorways. Preparations should be made to replace
designated windows or doors with appropriate temporary weatherproof exhaust
equipment manifolds. Upon completion of construction, the Contractor shall
restore all repositioned windows and doors to original condition and
location.
Where renovation sites lack access to perimeter windows or doorways,
"negative air machines" with HEPA and/or activated-carbon filters may be
utilized to re-circulate air to the building, preferably to unoccupied
building locations. (Special note: while HEPA filtration is highly
efficient at particulate extraction, activated carbon filters may be
ineffective at removing odors and
29
<PAGE>
gaseous contaminants to the satisfaction of building occupants).
7. The Contractor shall use only application-approved materials with the
lowest content by volume of toxic or irritating chemicals. New carpet must
have a green label certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) and be
installed according to CRI installation guidelines. The Contractor shall
avoid materials containing chemicals listed as potentially carcinogenic,
mutagenic, teratogenic, neurotoxicor "sensitizing". The following materials
will not be allowed in new installations:
- Materials containing greater than trace (0.1%) amounts of
asbestos.
- Materials containing any holgenated hydrocarbon solvents (i.e.,
methylene chloride, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene,
trichloroethane).
- HVAC components internally lined with permeable man-made mineral
fiber products unless coated with "Tuffcoat" or other tough
resilient coating or mat surfaces that provides a smooth,
non-shedding surface in contact with the air stream.
- Paints and sealants specified for "outdoor" and/or "marine" uses.
8. The Contractor shall maintain the work area clean and free of open
containers of paint, cleaners, chemicals, loose trash and garbage. The
Contractor's flammable and hazardous substances shall be stored to prevent
spillage and in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
codes and OSHA regulations.
9. Electrically powered tools shall be utilized in place of combustion engine
equipment.
10. Unless approved by product specifications, the Contractor shall not install
wet or water damaged building materials. The Contractor shall protect
stored materials from water and moisture prior to installation. The
Contractor shall protect new building assemblies from water damage
following installation and inspect for signs of ineffective water and
moisture control (e.g., condensation on pipes and ducts and roof and drain
leaks) following installation.
CONSTRUCTION RESPONSIBILITIES (COMPLETION PHASE)
1. The Contractor shall clean, or be responsible for the Landlord's costs to
clean all air plenums and mechanical system components determined to have
deteriorated as a result of the Contractor's work activities. The original
existing site conditions, as documented by the Contractor and accepted by
the Property manager, shall be used to resolve conflicts related to
building
30
<PAGE>
components requiring decontamination. All cleaning shall meet the
satisfaction of the Property Manager.
2. All Projects, including renovation, shall include air and, where
appropriate, water balancing in accordance with the Professional Engineer
stamped/certified mechanical drawings. The Contractor must notify the
Landlord's representative 48 hours before the altered mechanical systems
are ready for balancing. The Air Balancing Contractor will be hired and
coordinated by the Property Manager. Costs for balancing will be charged to
the Tenant.
3. Newly installed building materials, finishes, furniture and office
equipment have a tendency to off-gas volatile organic compounds soon after
they are installed. The newly renovated space should be ventilated and
exhausted directly to the outside for a period of 48-72 hours prior to
occupancy.
