WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that Lease dated as of March 26, 2001 by and between 610 Lincoln LLC, as landlord (“Prime Lessor”) and Sublessor, as tenant (such lease and all renewals, modifications and extensions thereof are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Prime Lease”), a true and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, whereby Sublessor leases approximately 85,430 square feet of rentable space on floor(s) one, two and three located in the building known as and numbered 610 Lincoln Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451 (the “Building”) (all as more particularly described in the Prime Lease the “Premises”); and

WHEREAS, Sublessee desires to sublease a portion of the Premises from Sublessor and Sublessor is willing to sublease the same, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows:

1. Sublease of Subleased Premises. For the rent and upon the terms and conditions herein, Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby subleases from Sublessor approximately 10,000 square feet of rentable office space located on the first floor (the “Office Space”) and approximately 11,550 square feet of rentable laboratory space located on the third floor (the “Lab Space”) as shown on Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, the “Subleased Premises”). During the term hereof, Sublessee shall have access to the Subleased Premises and the parking lot adjacent to the Building twenty-four (24) hours a day, 7 days a week, excluding emergency events, which may cause the Building to limit access to tenants, subject to the terms of this Sublease. Sublessee shall have after hour access to the Building by a card key system. Upon the date on which this Sublease has been fully executed by Sublessor and Sublessee and the Prime Lessor has delivered the “Consent” as hereinafter defined, Sublessee shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises for the purposes of commencing its “Improvement Work” as hereinafter defined, inspecting the Subleased Premises, taking measurements and preparing for the move into the Subleased Premises, including installing system furniture and lab equipment. Sublessor shall have the right to have a representative present any time such early entry right is exercised. If Sublessee enters the Subleased Premises prior to the Commencement Date (as hereunder defined), Sublessee shall be responsible for complying with all of the terms of this Sublease and the Prime Lease to the extent incorporated herein by reference, other than the payment of Rent (as hereunder defined).

2. Term. The Term of this Sublease shall commence, at Sublessee’s option, on May 1, 2005, provided that Prime Lessor has delivered the “Consent” as hereinafter defined, or upon the later of (i) June 1, 2005; (ii) the date Sublessor delivers the Subleased Premises with Sublessor’s Work (as hereinafter defined) completed except for minor incomplete items or deficiencies, provided that any such incomplete items or deficiencies shall not hinder Sublessee’s work in or about the Subleased Premises, or prevent Sublessee from operating its business, and provided further that Sublessor shall complete such incomplete items or deficiencies within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date; (iii) the date on which this Sublease has been fully executed by Sublessor and Sublessee and the Prime Lessor has delivered the “Consent” as hereinafter defined; (iv) delivery of a statement of

decommissioning from Sublessor to Sublessee from Sublessor’s consultant confirming that the required close-out of radiation survey has been completed and the Subleased Premises qualify for release under applicable decommissioning regulations; and (v) proof of a valid Sewer Use Discharge Permit in accordance with Paragraph 5(b) of this Sublease (the “Commencement Date”), and shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on the day that is thirty-eight (38) months from the Commencement Date (the “Expiration Date”) or such earlier date upon which said term may expire, be canceled or be terminated pursuant to any of the terms or provisions of the Prime Lease, this Sublease or applicable law. If the Prime Lessor has not delivered the “Consent” as hereinafter defined, by May 1, 2005, Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by sending written notice to Sublessor. Sublessee shall have one option to renew this Sublease for one (1) year (the “Extension Term”) exercisable upon Sublessee providing Sublessor with written notice at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial term of this Sublease, time being of the essence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublessor desires to reoccupy the Subleased Premises for Sublessor’s own occupancy Sublessor may, at its election, by notice to Sublessee given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Sublessee’s notice of exercise of said renewal option, void such exercise and require that this Sublease nevertheless expire on the original Expiration Date as set forth above. In the event of such election by and notice from Sublessor, this Sublease shall expire on the Expiration Date with the same effect as if Sublessee had no renewal option, except that Sublessor shall in such event be prohibited from subleasing any portion of the Subleased Premises to any unrelated third party during the Extension Term. Sublessee shall begin paying Base Rent to Sublessor on August 15, 2005 (the “Rent Commencement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee shall begin paying additional rent to Sublessor upon the Commencement Date. Year 1 of the Sublease Term shall consist of twelve calendar months plus any partial month if the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a month. Year 2 of the Sublease Term shall commence upon the first anniversary of the Commencement Date at which time the Base Rent for the First Floor Office Space shall increase to $19.00 per rentable square foot and the Base Rent for the Third Floor Lab Space shall increase to $23.50 per rentable square foot. Year 3 of the Sublease Term shall commence upon the second anniversary of the Commencement Date at which time Base Rent for the First Floor Office Space shall increase to $20.00 per rentable square foot and the Base Rent for the Third Floor Lab Space shall increase to $24.50 per rentable square foot.

3. Appurtenant Rights. Sublessee shall have, as appurtenant to the Subleased Premises, rights to use in common with Sublessor and others entitled thereto Sublessor’s rights in driveways, walkways, hallways, stairways and passenger elevators, freight elevators and loading docks convenient for access to the Subleased Premises and the lavatories nearest thereto as shown on Exhibit B attached hereto. In addition, Sublessor grants Sublessee the right to use, at no additional cost to Sublessee, in common with others, parking spaces on a non-exclusive basis in the automobile parking area throughout the term of this Sublease. The words “automobile parking area” shall have the same meaning as set forth under Article XI of the Prime Lease.

4. Base Rent. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the following amounts as base rent (the “Base Rent”) during the term of this Sublease:

 

A.	1ST FLOOR OFFICE SPACE

 

Term		Annual Amount			Monthly Amount			P.R.S.F.*
Year 1		$	180,000.00		$	15,000.00		$	18.00
Year 2		$	190,000.00		$	15,833.34		$	19.00

The Base Rent for Office Space is intended to be gross rent (inclusive of Landlord’s Taxes and Landlord’s Operating Expenses), net of tenant electricity. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor $10,000.00 annually to be billed on a monthly basis in the amount of $833.34 for electricity consumed in the Office Space.

B.	3RD FLOOR LAB SPACE

 

Term		Annual Amount			Monthly Amount			P.R.S.F.
Year 1		$	259,875.00		$	21,656.25		$	22.50
Year 2		$	271,425.00		$	22,618.75		$	23.50
Year 3		$	282,975.00		$	23,581.25		$	24.50
Extension Term		$	294,525.00		$	24,543.75		$	25.50

It is intended by Sublessor and Sublessee that the Base Rent for the Lab Space be net of all costs and expenses related to the Lab Space. On account of the Lab Space only, Sublessee shall during the Term pay to Sublessor, as additional rent hereunder, (i) the Sublessee’s Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of Common Expenses (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of Sublease Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined). The costs and expenses payable by Sublessee with respect to the Lab Space are collectively referred to herein as the “Sublessee’s Share.” For purposes of this Sublease, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

 

(i)

“Sublessee’s Percentage” shall mean the rentable square footage of the Lab Space divided by the rentable square footage of the Premises, expressed as a percentage. As of the Commencement Date, based upon the Lab Space as of such date containing 11,550 square feet and the Premises as of such date containing 85,430 rentable square feet, the Sublessee’s Percentage shall be thirteen point fifty-two percent (13.52%).

 

(ii)

“Common Expenses” shall mean Landlord’s Operating Expenses and Landlord’s Taxes, both as defined in the Prime Lease.

 

(iii)

“Sublease Operating Costs” shall mean all charges, costs, expenses and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever that Sublessor may from time to time incur pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease with respect to the Lab Space and Sublessee’s Percentage of the costs detailed in Exhibit D with regard specifically to the Lab Space, or the operation or maintenance thereof, and not the general operation or maintenance of the Premises or the Subleased Premises.

If at any time Sublessor, in its reasonable judgment, determines that either Sublessor, Sublessee or any other subtenant in the Premises is consuming quantities of electricity in excess of 110% (calculated on a per square foot basis) of the quantities being consumed by the other parties in those portions of the Premises occupied by such other party, then the party consuming such excessive quantities of electricity shall be responsible for the cost of any such excess consumption.

Sublessor may bill Sublessee for Sublessee’s Share based on reasonably estimated projected costs (the “Estimated Costs”), in which case Sublessee shall pay Sublessee’s Share, as additional rent hereunder, based on such estimated amounts, such estimates to be based on the estimates Sublessee receives from Landlord. At least annually, and not later than fifteen (15) days after Sublessor’s receipt of Prime Lessor’s annual accounting as more particularly described under Section 2.6.2 of the Prime Lease, Sublessor shall provide to Sublessee copies of all records and documents relating to the annual accounting including, but not limited to, all materials and reconciliations supplied by the Prime Lessor together with any independent allocation of any electricity charges by Sublessor pursuant to the preceding grammatical paragraph. If Sublessee disputes any of the charges that Prime Lessor charges to Sublessor under the Prime Lease or that Sublessor charges Sublessee under this Sublease, Sublessee shall provide Sublessor with written notice of such dispute within twenty (20) days of receiving the records and documents relating to the annual accounting. Upon receipt of Sublessee’s notice of a dispute with respect to the annual accounting Sublessor may elect, at its sole option, to raise such

 

3

---

dispute with Prime Lessor or to allow Sublessee to raise such dispute directly with Prime Lessor; provided, however, if Prime Lessor will not allow Sublessee to contest the disputed charges, Sublessor will contest the disputed charges on behalf of Sublessee. Sublessor shall review the Estimated Costs for the preceding year and compare such Estimated Costs against actual costs and expenses for such preceding year. To the extent Sublessee’s Share of the Estimated Costs exceeds Sublessee’s Share of the actual costs and expenses, Sublessor shall credit (or promptly refund, as appropriate) such excess amount against amounts due from Sublessee hereunder. To the extent Sublessee’s Share of actual costs and expenses exceeds Sublessee’s Share of Estimated Costs, Sublessee shall pay Sublessor the amount of such deficiency upon demand as additional rent hereunder.

Base Rent and additional rent shall sometimes be referred to as “Rent” herein. All Rent shall be due and payable in monthly installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month, without demand, deduction, counterclaim or setoff, except as expressly provided for herein. Rent for any partial month shall be prorated and paid on the first day of such month.

5. Permitted Uses. Sublessee shall use the Subleased Premises only for general office uses including laboratory use for research and development and the uses permitted under the Prime Lease. Sublessee shall not do, suffer or permit anything to be done in or upon the Subleased Premises or the Premises except in accordance with and as permitted by the Prime Lease and applicable law. Sublessee shall comply with the certificate of occupancy relating to the Subleased Premises and with all laws, statutes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and municipal governments and the appropriate agencies, officers, departments, boards and commissions thereof, and the board of fire underwriters and/or the fire insurance rating organization or similar organization performing the same or similar functions, whether now or hereafter in force, applicable to the Subleased Premises or to Sublessee’s particular manner of use. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Sublessee shall apply in its own name for, and obtain at its sole expense, any and all licenses, permits and other approvals that may be required from governmental authorities in connection with Sublessee’s use of the Subleased Premises.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Sublessor has agreed to make available to Sublessee, in connection with Sublessee’s use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises, certain services, and to authorize Sublessee to use certain permits and licenses, held by Sublessor, including those services and licenses listed on Exhibit D attached hereto, jointly with Sublessor and others who may be authorized by Sublessor from time to time, as well as the following:

 

(a)

Sublessor shall provide customary janitorial and custodial services to the Subleased Premises in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit F.

 

(b)

Sublessor grants Sublessee a license to the use, occupancy and operation of the Subleased Premises under the auspices of all existing municipal, state and federal licenses and permits held by Sublessor with respect to the use and operation of laboratory and research facilities within the Subleased Premises including the Sewer Use Discharge Permit. Sublessee shall apply in its own name for, and obtain at its sole expense its own Flammable Storage Permit for the materials and up to the maximum quantities set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto. Sublessor will maintain the Sewer Use Discharge Permit unless the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority requires otherwise; in such event, Sublessor shall provide written notice thereof to Sublessee and Sublessee shall apply in its own name for, and obtain at its sole expense its own Sewer Use Discharge Permit.

 

(c)

Sublessor grants Sublessee the right to connect to Sublessor’s emergency generator through the outlets existing in the Subleased Premises as of the date hereof.

6. Condition of Subleased Premises. Sublessee represents that it has made or caused to be made a thorough examination and inspection of the Subleased Premises and is familiar with the condition of every part thereof. Sublessee agrees that, except as expressly provided herein, (i) it enters into this Sublease without relying upon any representations, warranties or promises by Sublessor, its agents, representatives, employees, servants or any other person in respect of the Building or the Subleased Premises, (ii) no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Sublessee by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth herein, (iii) Sublessor shall have no obligation to do any work in order to make the Subleased Premises suitable and ready for occupancy and use by Sublessee other than ensuring that all building systems serving the Subleased Premises are in good working order, decommissioning the Lab Space in accordance with local and state regulations, and performing any of the demising work if required by code to prepare the Subleased Premises for Sublessee’s use and occupancy including “patch” and paint work, limited to repair and painting of damaged wall areas, for the Office Space and replacing ceiling tiles where needed in the Lab Space (collectively “Sublessor’s Work”) which Sublessor shall perform at its expense, and (iv) the Subleased Premises are in satisfactory condition. Sublessor shall deliver the Subleased Premises to Sublessee in broom clean condition and with all building systems serving the Subleased Premises in good working order. If Sublessor has not completed Sublessor’s Work by July 1, 2005, Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by sending written notice to Sublessor.

The taking of possession by Sublessee of the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof delivered by Sublessor to Sublessee shall be conclusive evidence as against Sublessee, that, at the time such possession was so taken, the Subleased Premises or such portion thereof were in good and satisfactory condition.

Following the completion of the Improvement Work, Sublessee shall make no alterations, installations, removals, additions or improvements in or to the Subleased Premises or any other portion of the Building except with the written consent of Sublessor (excluding cosmetic alterations in the Subleased Premises that do not affect the Building’s structure or base building systems and cost no more than $50,000.00 in the aggregate for a single project), which consent Sublessor shall grant or deny within fifteen (15) business days of such request and the written consent of Prime Lessor in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor hereby approves Sublessee’s improvement work (the “Improvement Work”) as set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto; provided, however, Sublessee acknowledges that it must still obtain Prime Lessor’s consent to such Improvement Work in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Prime Lease. Sublessee’s contractor(s) shall perform the Improvement Work in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.9 of the Prime Lease.

Any work shall be done in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted to and approved by Sublessor and Prime Lessor, except that Sublessor will not need to approve plans and specifications for minor non-structural modifications that do not affect the Building’s structure or base building systems, provided that Sublessee must still obtain Prime Lessor’s approval of the plans and specifications. No structural alterations shall be done. All such minor, non-structural modifications made by Sublessee shall be done at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials of first-class quality consistent with the style and finish of the Subleased Premises. Sublessee shall secure all necessary permits in advance of commencement of any work and shall keep the Subleased Premises free of any mechanics or other liens and shall hold Sublessor and Prime Lessor harmless from any loss, cost or damage arising out of any work done by Sublessee or its agents or contractors. Sublessee shall have the right to use its own contractor so long as said Contractor complies with the requirements of the Prime Lease. All contractors working for Sublessee in the Subleased Premises shall be properly insured and shall provide certificates of insurance naming Sublessor and Prime Lessor as additional insureds prior to commencement of any work.

Sublessee shall keep and maintain the Subleased Premises and the fixtures and equipment therein clean and in good order, repair and condition, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty or condemnation. Sublessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, decommission the Lab Space upon the Expiration Date or such earlier date upon which this Sublease may expire, be canceled or be terminated pursuant to any of the terms or provisions of the Prime Lease, this Sublease or applicable law.

7. Insurance. Sublessee shall maintain throughout the term of this Sublease such insurance in respect of the Subleased Premises and the conduct and operation of business therein, with Sublessor and Prime Lessor listed as additional insureds as is required of “Tenant” pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease (including, without limitation, Section 5.5 as hereinafter incorporated by reference) with no penalty to Sublessor or Prime Lessor resulting from deductibles or self-insured retentions effected in Sublessee’s insurance coverage, and with such other endorsements and provisions as Sublessor or Prime Lessor may reasonably request. If Sublessee fails to procure or maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges therefor within ten (10) days after notice from Sublessor, Sublessor may (but shall not be obligated to) do so, whereupon Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor upon demand. All such insurance policies shall, to the extent obtainable, contain endorsements providing that (i) such policies may not be canceled except upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Sublessor and Prime Lessor, (ii) no act or omission of Sublessee shall affect or limit the obligations of the insurer with respect to any other named or additional insured and (iii) Sublessee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all premiums under such policies and Sublessor, notwithstanding that it is or may be a named insured, shall have no obligation for the payment thereof. Such insurance shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Sublessor in both form and substance. On or before the Commencement Date, Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor and Prime Lessor a certificate evidencing the foregoing coverages. Any endorsements to such certificates shall also be delivered to Sublessor and Prime Lessor upon issuance thereof. Sublessee shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor and Prime Lessor such renewal certificates at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of any existing policy. In the event Sublessee fails so to deliver any such renewal certificate at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of any existing policy, Sublessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain the same if Sublessee does not provide evidence of the same within ten (10) days of request by Sublessor, where upon Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor upon demand.

Sublessee shall include in all such insurance policies any clauses or endorsements in favor of Prime Lessor including, but not limited to, waivers of the right of subrogation, which Sublessor is required to provide pursuant to the provisions of the Prime Lease. Sublessor and Sublessee release and waive all claims against each other for loss or damage to Sublessor’s and Sublessee’s personal property and their respective alterations, if any, in the Subleased Premises, except to the extent arising from any negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor or Sublessee or any of their respective employees, agents contractors or invitees.

8. Indemnification. Sublessee agrees to protect, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Sublessor), indemnify and hold Sublessor and Prime Lessor and their respective officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (except to the extent arising from any negligence or willful misconduct of Prime Lessor or Sublessor or their contractors, agents or employees), arising: (i) from the conduct or management of or from any work or thing whatsoever done in the Subleased Premises during the term hereof; (ii) from any condition arising, and any injury to or death of persons, damage to property or other event occurring or resulting from an occurrence in the Subleased Premises during the term hereof; and (iii) from any breach or default on the part of Sublessee in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Sublessee to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Sublease or from any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of Sublessee or any of its agents, employees, licensees or assignees or any person claiming through or under Sublessee. Sublessee further agrees to indemnify Sublessor and Prime Lessor and their respective officers, agents and employees from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), incurred in connection

 

6

---

with any such indemnified claim or any action or proceeding brought in connection therewith. The provisions of this Paragraph are intended to supplement any other indemnification provisions contained in this Sublease and in the Prime Lease to the extent incorporated by reference herein. Any non-liability, indemnity or hold harmless provisions in the Prime Lease for the benefit of Prime Lessor that are incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublessor and Prime Lessor.

Sublessor agrees to protect, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Sublessee), indemnify and hold Sublessee and its officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, losses and liabilities (except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessee or its contractors, agents or employees) arising: (i) from any injury to or death of persons or damage to property occurring or resulting from an occurrence in the Premises or the Building caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor, its contractors, agents, employees, licensees or assignees or any person claiming through or under Sublessor during the term hereof and (ii) from any breach or default on the part of Sublessor in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Sublessor to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Sublease.

9. No Assignment or Subletting. Sublessee shall not assign, sell, mortgage, pledge or in any manner transfer this Sublease or any interest herein, or the term or estate granted hereby or the rentals hereunder, or sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of all or any part of the Subleased Premises by any person, without the prior written consent of Prime Lessor and Sublessor, which consent of Sublessor shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Sublessor does not either grant or withhold its consent to a proposed assignment, subletting, concession or license within thirty (30) days of receipt of Sublessee’s request for such consent, Sublessor’s consent shall be deemed approved; provided, however, Sublessee must still obtain Prime Lessor’s consent to such proposed assignment, subletting, concession or license. Neither the consent of Sublessor or Prime Lessor to an assignment, subletting, concession, or license, nor the references in this Sublease to assignees, subtenants, concessionaires or licensees, shall in any way be construed to relieve Sublessee of the requirement of obtaining the consent of Sublessor and Prime Lessor to any further assignment or subletting or to the making of any assignment, subletting, concession or license for all or any part of the Subleased Premises. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, including, without limitation, any assignment or subletting permitted or consented to, the original Sublessee named herein and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Sublessee shall remain fully liable under this Sublease. If this Sublease is assigned, or if the Subleased Premises or any part thereof is underlet or occupied by any person or entity other than Sublessee, Sublessor may, after default by Sublessee, following notice and the expiration of any cure period, collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rents payable by Sublessee hereunder, but no assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions hereof, the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Sublessee from the further performance by Sublessee of the covenants hereunder to be performed on the part of Sublessee. Any attempted assignment or subletting without the prior written consent of the Sublessor and the Prime Lessor shall be void. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 9, this Sublease may be assigned, or the Subleased Premises may be sublet, in whole or in part, after prior notice to Sublessor but without the consent of Sublessor and without any termination right of Sublessor being applicable thereto, (i) to any corporation or other entity into which or with which Sublessee may be merged or consolidated or to any corporation or entity to which all or substantially all of the Sublessee’s assets or capital stock will be transferred, or (ii) to any corporation which is an affiliate, subsidiary, parent or successor of Sublessee, provided in all cases the surviving corporation or entity shall provide reasonable evidence that it has creditworthiness at least equal to the greater of (i) the net worth of Sublessee as of the date of such corporate transaction, and (ii) as of the date of this Sublease, and shall agree in writing with Sublessor to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease (all of the foregoing being referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”).

10. Primacy and Incorporation of Prime Lease.

(a) This Sublease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Prime Lease and to all matters to which the Prime Lease is or shall be subject and subordinate, and to all amendments, modifications, renewals and extensions of or to the Prime Lease and Sublessor purports hereby to convey, and Sublessee takes hereby, no greater rights then those accorded to or taken by Sublessor as “Tenant” under the terms of the Prime Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following provisions of the Prime Lease, Exhibits and Schedules annexed thereto are not incorporated herein by reference and shall not, except as to definitions set forth therein, have any applicability to this Sublease: Articles/Sections: 1.1 (except, however, the definitions of “Land”, “Permitted Uses” and “Public Liability Insurance” are incorporated herein), 1.2, 2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.7, III, 4.1.4, the third grammatical paragraph of 4.2, 4.3.3, 4.4, 5.8, 6.1, 6.2, 8.2, 8.5, 8.6, 8.14, 8.17, 8.18, 8.20, 9.1, the last grammatical paragraph of 9.2 and X; and Exhibits A, B, E, F, H, I and J.

Where reference is made in the following Sections to “Landlord”, the same shall be deemed to refer only to “Prime Lessor”: Articles/Sections: 2.2, 2.3, 2.6.3, 2.6.4, IV, 5.3 and XI.

Where reference is made in the following Sections to “Landlord”, the same shall be deemed to refer to “Prime Lessor” and “Sublessor”: Articles/Sections: 5.7 and 5.10.

(b) Notwithstanding such incorporation by reference, Sublessee acknowledges that pursuant to the Prime Lease, certain services, repairs, restorations, equipment and access to and for the Premises and insurance coverage of the Building are in fact to be provided by Prime Lessor and Sublessor shall have no obligation during the Term of this Sublease to provide any such services, repairs, restorations, equipment, access or insurance coverage. Sublessee agrees to look solely to Prime Lessor for the furnishing of such services, repairs, restorations, equipment, access and insurance coverage. Sublessor shall cooperate reasonably with Sublessee in obtaining for Sublessee’s benefit the performance by Prime Lessor of its obligations under the Prime Lease, but Sublessor shall in no event be liable to Sublessee, nor, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the casualty or condemnation provisions of the Prime Lease, shall the obligations of Sublessee hereunder be impaired or the performance thereof excused because of any failure or delay on Prime Lessor’s part in furnishing such services, repairs, restorations, equipment, access or insurance coverage. If Prime Lessor fails to provide to the any of the services described in the Prime Lease, and such failure or any other cause or circumstance (other than Sublessee’s act or default) materially adversely interferes with Sublessee’s use and enjoyment of the Subleased Premises, then Sublessee shall be entitled to an adjustment of Rent to the extent that Sublessor receives an adjustment of rent under the Prime Lease.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Prime Lease, the time limits (the “Notice Periods”) contained in the Prime Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act, condition or covenant on the part of the “Tenant” (including any grace periods set forth in Article VII of the Prime Lease), thereunder, or for the exercise by the “Tenant”, thereunder of any right, remedy or option, are changed for the purposes of incorporation herein by reference by shortening the same in each instance by five (5) days (or by three (3) days if the notice period is ten (10) days or less), so that in each instance Sublessee shall have five (5) (or three (3), as applicable) fewer days to observe or perform hereunder than Sublessor has as the “Tenant” under the Prime Lease; provided, however, that if the Prime Lease allows a Notice Period of five (5) days or less, then Sublessee shall nevertheless be allowed the number of days equal to one-half of the number of days in each Notice Period to give any such notices, make any such demands, perform any such acts, conditions or covenants or exercise any such rights, remedies or options; provided, further, that if one-half of the number of days in the Notice Period is not a whole number, Sublessee shall be allowed the number of days equal to one-half of the number of days in the Notice Period rounded up to the next whole number.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Prime Lease incorporated herein by reference), Sublessor makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the Subleased Premises, this Sublease, the Prime Lease or any other matter, either express or implied, except as expressly set forth herein, and except that Sublessor represents and warrants, as of the date of execution hereof, (i) that it is the holder of the interest of the “Tenant” under the Prime Lease and said interest is not the subject of any lien, assignment, conflicting sublease, or other hypothecation or pledge; (ii) that the Prime Lease is in full force and effect, unmodified and constitutes the entire agreement between the Prime Lessor and Sublessor in respect of the Subleased Premises; (iii) that no notices of default have been served on Sublessor under the Prime Lease which have not been cured; (iv) that Sublessor shall send Sublessee copies of any notices of default that may be served on Sublessor under the Prime Lease within three (3) business days of receiving the same; (v) that Sublessor shall not voluntarily surrender the Subleased Premises or terminate the Prime Lease during the Term of the Sublease, except as provided in Paragraph 21 hereof; and (vi) to the best of Sublessor’s knowledge, neither Sublessor nor Prime Lessor is in default under the Prime Lease.

11. Certain Services and Rights. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, the only services or rights to which the Sublessee is entitled hereunder, including without limitation rights relating to the repair, maintenance and restoration of the Subleased Premises, are those services and rights to which Sublessor is entitled under the Prime Lease. Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that Sublessor shall have no obligation to furnish any services whatsoever to Sublessee, any such obligation being that of the Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease, and that, as set forth in Paragraph 11(b) hereof, the sole obligation of Sublessor hereunder with respect to such services is to cooperate reasonably with Sublessee to obtain Prime Lessor’s performance.

12. Compliance with Prime Lease. Sublessee shall neither do nor permit anything to be done which would cause the Prime Lease to be terminated or forfeited by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture reserved or vested in Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease, and Sublessee shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any kind whatsoever by reason of any breach or default on the part of Sublessee by reason of which the Prime Lease may be terminated or forfeited. Sublessee covenants and agrees that Sublessee will not do anything which would constitute a default under the provisions of the Prime Lease or omit to do anything which Sublessee is obligated to do under the terms of this Sublease, that would constitute a default under the Prime Lease. Sublessor covenants and agrees that Sublessor will not do anything which would constitute a default (beyond any applicable grace or cure period under the Prime Lease) under the provisions of the Prime Lease or omit to do anything which Sublessor is obligated to do under the terms of this Sublease (beyond any applicable grace or cure period), which omission would constitute a default under the Prime Lease nor shall Sublessor voluntarily surrender or terminate the Prime Lease (except pursuant to the express provisions thereof or Paragraph 21 hereof), nor shall Sublessor agree to modify or amend the Prime Lease in any way that will reduce the rights or increase the obligations of Sublessee under this Sublease.

13. Default. In the event that Sublessee shall default in any of its obligations hereunder beyond applicable cure periods, including any default of the nature described in the Prime Lease beyond applicable cure periods, Sublessor shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease, including without limitation Article VII thereof as and to the extent incorporated herein by reference, as though Sublessor were the “Landlord” thereunder and Sublessee the “Tenant” thereunder. Sublessee further agrees to reimburse Sublessor for all actual and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Sublessor in asserting or enforcing its rights hereunder against Sublessee or any other party.

14. Brokerage. Sublessee and Sublessor represent that they have not dealt with any broker in connection with this Sublease other than CB Richard Ellis/Whittier Partners and Richards Barry Joyce & Partners (the “Brokers”). Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which the indemnified party may be subject to or suffer by reason of any claim made by any person, firm or corporation other than the Brokers for any commission, expense or other compensation as a result of the execution and delivery of this Sublease, which is based on alleged conversations or negotiations by said person, firm or corporation with the indemnifying party. Sublessor shall pay the Brokers the brokerage commission, or other compensation due the Brokers in connection with this Sublease under separate agreements between and among Sublessor and Brokers and shall indemnify and hold Sublessee harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which Sublessee may be subject to or suffer by reason of any claim made by the Brokers for any commission, fee or other compensation as a result of the execution and delivery of this Sublease, other than a claim based upon any agreement with Sublessee or Sublessee’s agents, representatives or employees.

15. Security Deposit. On the date of execution of this Sublease by Sublessee, Sublessee at its sole cost and expense shall deliver to Sublessor, in a form and from a financial institution acceptable to Sublessor, an irrevocable, unconditional standby letter of credit in the amount of $36,667.00 (the “Letter of Credit”), as security for the full and faithful performance and observance by Sublessee of Sublessee’s covenants and obligations under this Sublease (the “Security Deposit”). Sublessee shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses of obtaining, amending, renewing, replacing and/or transferring such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date not earlier than thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Term of this Sublease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, including, but not limited to, the non-payment of Rent specified in Paragraph 4 hereof, Sublessor may, without giving notice to Sublessee, draw upon the Letter of Credit to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or any other sums as to which Sublessee is in default or for any sum which Sublessor may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Sublessee’s default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in the reletting of all or any portion of the Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Sublessor. If Sublessor draws upon the Letter of Credit to cure any default, Sublessee shall cause the Letter of Credit to be restored to its original amount and failure to do so within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from Sublessor shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder. Sublessee understands that its potential liability under this Sublease is not limited to the amount of the Security Deposit. Use of said Security Deposit by Sublessor shall not constitute a waiver, but is in addition to other remedies to Sublessor under this Sublease and under law. In the event of any transfer of Sublessor’s interest in the Premises, Sublessor shall either return the Security Deposit to Sublessee or assign its interest in the Security Deposit to the transferee or assignee and Sublessor shall thereupon be released by Sublessee from all liability for the return or payment thereof; and Sublessee shall look solely to the new sublessor for the return or payment of the same; and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the same to a new sublessor. Sublessee shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit and neither Sublessor nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

16. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals, demands, bills, statements and requests which are required or desired to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be governed by Section 8.3 of the Prime Lease as incorporated herein by reference, except that the mailing addresses for Sublessor and Sublessee shall initially be those first set forth above, and after the Commencement Date, to Sublessee at the Subleased Premises, with a copy to William T. Whelan, Esquire, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky & Popeo, P.C., One Financial Center, Boston, Massachusetts 02111. Communications and payments to the Prime Lessor shall be given in accordance with, and subject to, Section 8.3 of the Prime Lease.

17. Interpretation. This Sublease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Sublease to be drafted. Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Sublease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of the party bound by, undertaking or making the same, which covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision shall be construed and interpreted in the context of the Sublease as a whole. All terms and words used in this Sublease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the context may require. The word “person” as used in this Sublease shall mean a natural person or persons, a partnership, a corporation or any other form of business or legal association or entity. Terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Prime Lease.

18. Fire or Casualty; Eminent Domain. In the event the Subleased Premises (or access thereto or systems serving the same) are subjected to a fire or other casualty or to a taking by eminent domain that interferes with the use and enjoyment by Sublessee of a material portion of the Subleased Premises, Sublessee shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment of Rent until tenantable occupancy is restored. At any time that such interference has not been remedied and tenantable occupancy restored after ninety (90) days from the date such interference was first experienced, Sublessee may, by notice to Sublessor, terminate this Sublease. In the event of any taking of the Subleased Premises, Sublessee assigns to Prime Lessor any right Sublessee may have to any damages or award, except that Sublessee shall be entitled to any award made on account of Sublessee’s personal property or for Sublessee’s moving expenses. Sublessee shall not make claims against Sublessor, Prime Lessor or the condemning authority for damages.

19. Signage. Subject to the consent of Prime Lessor as required under the Prime Lease, if any, Sublessee has the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install signage (i) consistent with Sublessor’s signage and that of any other subtenants on the Building lobby directory and on the first and third floor entrances to the Subleased Premises and (ii) on a portion of Sublessor’s space on the monument sign equal in size to its pro rata share of the Premises.

20. Right to Cure Sublessee’s Defaults. (a) If Sublessee shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other obligation of Sublessee hereunder after any applicable notice and cure periods, then Sublessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, after notice to Sublessee, or without notice to Sublessee in the case of any emergency, and without waiving or releasing Sublessee from any obligations of Sublessee hereunder, to make such payment or perform such other obligation of Sublessee in such manner and to such extent as Sublessor shall deem necessary, and in exercising any such right, to pay any incidental costs and expenses, employ attorneys, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor upon demand as additional rent all sums so paid by Sublessor and all incidental costs and expenses of Sublessor in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the rate four percent (4%) above the base rate or prime rate then reported in the Wall Street Journal, or the maximum rate permitted by law. Such interest shall be payable with respect to the period commencing on the date such expenditures are made by Sublessor and ending on the date such amounts are repaid by Sublessee. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the Expiration Date or the sooner termination of this Sublease.

(b) If (i) Sublessor fails to perform any of its obligations under the Prime Lease (other than by reason of Sublessee’s acts or omissions or events of a nature beyond Sublessor’s reasonable control) and the Prime Lessor has given a notice of default with respect thereto, which failure has not been cured within the applicable grace and cure periods under the Prime Lease; (ii) Sublessee is not in default under this Sublease beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period; (iii) such default by Sublessor does not arise out of the acts or omissions of Sublessee, its agents, contractors, employees,

 

12

---

sublessees or licensees; (iv) Sublessee notifies Sublessor after the expiration of the applicable grace and cure periods under the Prime Lease of such failure and of Sublessee’s intention to cure same, which notice shall specify that such notice is being given in accordance with this Paragraph 20(b); and (v) such failure continues for not less than ten (10) business days from the date Sublessor receives such notice from Sublessee, then at Sublessee’s election (if Sublessee elects to exercise its cure rights hereunder), Sublessee may take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to cure such failure and Sublessor shall reimburse Sublessee for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sublessee in performing same within thirty (30) days after receipt by Sublessor of a written statement from Sublessee as to the amount of such costs.

21. Termination of Prior Leases. If for any reason the term of the Prime Lease shall terminate prior to the Expiration Date, this Sublease shall thereupon automatically terminate as to the premises demised under the Prime Lease and Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee by reason thereof; provided, however, that Sublessor agrees that so long as Sublessee is not in default hereunder, Sublessor shall not voluntarily surrender or terminate the Prime Lease, except in accordance with rights expressly reserved to Sublessor under Article VI of the Prime Lease in the event of a taking or casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Prime Lease gives Sublessor any right to terminate the Prime Lease in the event of the partial or total damage, destruction, or condemnation of the Subleased Premises or the Building, the exercise of such right by Sublessor shall not constitute a default or breach hereunder.

Upon the expiration or termination of this Sublease, whether by forfeiture, lapse of time or otherwise, or upon the termination of Sublessee’s right of possession, Sublessee shall (i) remove and restore any and all signage it may have installed and such alterations, installations, additions and improvements as Sublessor may have specified at the time Sublessor consented to the same and (ii) at once surrender and deliver the Subleased Premises in the condition and repair required by, and in accordance with the provisions of, this Sublease and the Prime Lease, including without limitation Section 5.10 of the Prime Lease as incorporated herein by reference. If Sublessee shall fail to remove any of Sublessee’s property from the Subleased Premises, such property shall be deemed abandoned, and Sublessor is hereby authorized, without liability to Sublessee for loss or damage thereto, at the sole risk of Sublessee, to (a) remove and store such property at Sublessee’s expense; (b) retain such property, in which case all right, title and interest therein shall accrue to Sublessor; or, (c) sell such property and retain the proceeds from such sale, or otherwise dispose or destroy such property.

22. Consents and Approvals. All references in this Sublease to the consent or approval of Prime Lessor and/or Sublessor shall be deemed to mean the written consent or approval of Prime Lessor and/or Sublessor, as the case may be, and no such consent or approval of Prime Lessor and/or Sublessor, as the case may be, shall be effective for any purpose unless such consent or approval is set forth in a written instrument executed by Prime Lessor and/or Sublessor, as the case may be. In all provisions requiring the approval or consent of Sublessor (whether pursuant to the express terms of this Sublease or the terms of the Prime Lease incorporated herein), Sublessee shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of Prime Lessor and then to obtain like approval or consent of Sublessor. If Sublessor is required or has determined to give its consent or approval to a matter as to which consent or approval has been requested by Sublessee, Sublessor shall cooperate reasonably with Sublessee in endeavoring to obtain any required Prime Lessor’s consent or approval upon and subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sublessor in connection with seeking such consent or approval, except with respect to the “Consent” (as hereinafter defined) to this Sublease and any amendments to this Sublease (ii) Sublessor shall not be required to make any payments to Prime Lessor or to enter into any agreements or to modify the Prime Lease, or this Sublease in order to obtain any such consent or approval, (iii) if Sublessee agrees or is otherwise obligated to make any payments to Sublessor, or Prime Lessor in connection with such request for such consent or approval, Sublessee shall have made

arrangements satisfactory to Sublessor for such payments and (iv) Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) Sublessor shall suffer or incur in connection with seeking such consent or approval. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to require Sublessor to give any consent or approval simply because Prime Lessor has given such consent or approval and, unless provision to the contrary is expressly made herein, Sublessor’s consent may be withheld at its sole election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublessee shall not be required to reimburse Sublessor or Prime Lessor for any costs incurred by either of them in connection with seeking the Consent as hereinafter defined. Except as expressly provided for herein, all references in this Sublease to the consent or approval of Sublessor shall be deemed to mean consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

23. No Privity of Estate. Nothing contained in this Sublease shall be construed to create privity of estate or of contract between Sublessee and Prime Lessor and Prime Lessor is not obligated to recognize or to provide for the non-disturbance of the rights of Sublessee hereunder.

24. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Sublease, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall extend to bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

25. Waiver of Jury Trial and Right to Counterclaim. The parties hereto hereby waive any rights which they may have to trial by jury in any summary action or other action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or in any way connected with this Sublease, the relationship of Sublessor and Sublessee, the Subleased Premises and the use and occupancy thereof, and any claim for injury or damages. Sublessee also hereby waives all right to assert or interpose a counterclaim in any summary proceeding or other action or proceeding to recover or obtain possession of the Subleased Premises. The parties hereto hereby waive any rights which they may have to trial by jury in any summary action or other action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or in any way connected with this Sublease, the relationship of Sublessor and Sublessee, the Subleased Premises and the use and occupancy thereof, and any claim for injury or damages. Sublessee also hereby waives all right to assert or interpose a counterclaim (other than mandatory or compulsory counterclaims) in any summary proceeding or other action or proceeding to recover or obtain possession of the Subleased Premises.

26. Estoppel Certificates. Sublessee shall, within ten (10) business days after each and every request by Sublessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublessor or any party reasonably designated by Sublessor, without cost or expense to Sublessor, a statement in writing (a) certifying that this Sublease is unmodified and, to the best knowledge of Sublessee, is in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified, and stating such modifications); (b) specifying the dates to which Base Rent, additional and electricity charges have been paid; (c) stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of Sublessee, Sublessor is in default in the performance or observance of its obligations under this Sublease and, if so, specifying each such default; (d) stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of Sublessee, any event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by Sublessor under this Sublease, and, if so, specifying each such default; (e) stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of Sublessee, any event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises, and, if so, specifying such event; (f) describing all notices of default submitted by Sublessee to Sublessor and Prime Lessor with respect to this Sublease, or the Prime Lease from and after the date hereof; and (g) containing such other information with respect to the Subleased Premises or this Sublease as Sublessor shall reasonably request.

Sublessor hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective assignee, transferee or mortgagee of the leasehold estate of Sublessee under the Sublease.

27. Consent of Prime Lessor. This Sublease is subject to the approval and consent of Prime Lessor, which Sublessor agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain. This Sublease shall not become effective unless and until a written approval and consent (the “Consent”) is executed and delivered by the Prime Lessor, which Consent shall consent to this Sublease. After the Sublessor receives the Consent from the Prime Lessor, Sublessor agrees to promptly deliver a fully-executed original of the Consent to Sublessee. The effectiveness of this Sublease is subject to and conditional upon the receipt by Sublessor and Sublessee of the Consent. To the extent that Sublessor has not already done so, upon execution of this Sublease by Sublessee, Sublessor will promptly apply to the Prime Lessor for the Consent and Sublessor will promptly inform Sublessee as to receipt of the Consent (if and when it is received) and deliver to Sublessee a copy of the same. If a fully executed original of the Consent is not delivered to the Sublessee by May 1, 2005, Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by promptly sending notice of termination to Sublessor.

28. Limitation of Liability. No director, officer, shareholder, employee, adviser or agent of Sublessor shall be personally liable in any manner or to any extent under or in connection with this Sublease. In no event shall Sublessor or Sublessee or any of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, advisers or agents be responsible for any consequential, indirect, punitive or special damages or interruption or loss of business, income or profits, or claims for constructive eviction, nor shall Sublessor or Sublessee be liable for loss of or damage to artwork, securities or other valuables, or for other property not in the nature of ordinary fixtures, furnishings and equipment used in general administrative office activities.

29. (Intentionally omitted)

30. Option to Expand. Sublessee shall have the right of first negotiation to sublease any additional space on the third floor of the Building (the “Expansion Space”) that “becomes available” during the Term of this Sublease upon and subject to the terms of this Sublease. Space shall be deemed to “become available” when Sublessor ceases to occupy the same or the sublease for the then current occupant of the space expires or is otherwise terminated and in either case Sublessor determines to offer some or all thereof on the open market for sublease. Space shall not be deemed to “become available” if the space is: (i) released to the then current tenant of the space by renewal, extension or renegotiation, (ii) subject to a specific expansion right of another subtenant in the Building existing as of the Commencement Date or subsequently entered into in compliance with this Paragraph 30, or

 

15

---

(iii) not leased to a subtenant as of the date of this Sublease (until that space is leased, and then subsequently becomes available). Sublessor agrees that it will not offer any space on the third floor of the Building that has “become available” without first complying with the terms of this Paragraph 30 unless and until this Sublease has terminated or expired in accordance with the provisions hereof. When any space on the third floor of the Building becomes available, Sublessor shall give Sublessee not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, which notice shall identify the Expansion Space and the anticipated date the Expansion Space will be available for Sublessee’s occupancy as set forth in this Sublease. Sublessee shall then have thirty (30) days to negotiate an agreement with Sublessor on the rent and other business terms with respect to the Expansion Space. If Sublessor and Sublessee reach an agreement with respect to the Expansion Space, (a) the Expansion Space will be deemed a part of the Subleased Premises and all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease shall apply to such Expansion Space, excluding the agreed upon business terms for the Expansion Space, (b) the commencement date of the Sublease with respect to the Expansion Space shall be the later of (i) thirty (30) days after Sublessor’s initial notice to Sublessee notifying Sublessee that space on the third floor of the Building has become available or (ii) the date the Expansion Space is vacated (the “Effective Date”), and (c) the Security Deposit will increase in proportion to the increase in Rent and Sublessee shall provide Sublessor with a replacement letter of credit in the new amount of the Security Deposit prior to the Effective Date. The rights of Sublessee under this Paragraph 30 shall be subject to the following conditions: (x) that at the time Sublessee exercises its rights hereunder (i) the Prime Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) this Sublease is in full force and effect without default on the part of Sublessee hereunder; and (iii) the Sublessee originally named hereunder shall be in actual occupancy of 100% of the Subleased Premises; and (y) prior to the Effective Date Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor a replacement letter of credit in the new amount of the Security Deposit. If Sublessor and Sublessee do not reach an agreement within thirty (30) days after the Expansion Space “becomes available”, Sublessor shall have the right to sublease the subject Expansion Space to a third party on any terms Sublessor deems appropriate, to reoccupy the Expansion Space or to leave the Expansion Space vacant.

31. Termination Right. During the Term, if Sublessor is unable to accommodate Sublessee’s expansion needs within the Building, if any, with space that is adjacent to or in close proximity to the Subleased Premises and subject to Sublessee’s reasonable approval or if Sublessor and Sublessee fail to reach agreement after Sublessor notifies Sublessee that certain Expansion Space has become available, then Sublessee shall have a one time right to terminate this Sublease on the date that is twenty-seven (27) months after the Commencement Date (the “Early Termination Date”), provided that Sublessee provides Sublessor with written notice given at least six (6) months prior to the Early Termination Date. If the Sublessee elects to terminate this Sublease in accordance with this Paragraph 31, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor on or before the Early Termination Date an amount equal to all unamortized transactions costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, brokerage commissions and the cost of Sublessor’s Work, but excluding the free rent) with respect to this Sublease plus one month’s Rent, which amount shall not exceed $70,000.00. Sublessor shall, within sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date hereof, deliver a statement to Sublessee certifying to Sublessee all actual out-of-pocket transaction costs relating to this Sublease. In the event of such election by Sublessee, this Sublease shall terminate on the Early Termination Date as if the Early Termination Date were the Expiration Date hereof.

32. Hazardous Materials. Sublessee shall not cause or permit any hazardous or toxic wastes, hazardous or toxic substances or hazardous or toxic materials (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) to be used, generated, stored or disposed of on, under or about, or transported to or from, the Subleased Premises (collectively, “Hazardous Materials Activities”), except in compliance with all applicable Regulations and the Prime Lease, provided that Sublessee provides Sublessor with prior notification of such Hazardous Materials before using, storing or disposing of the same in, on, under or about the Subleased Premises. If Sublessor consents to any such Hazardous Materials Activities, the Sublessee shall conduct them in compliance (at Sublessee’s expense) with all applicable Regulations, as

hereinafter defined, and use all necessary and appropriate precautions to prevent any spill, discharge, release or exposure to persons or property. Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for any loss, cost, expense, claim, damage or liability arising out of any Hazardous Materials Activities by Sublessee, Sublessee’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, customers or invitees, whether or not consented to by the Sublessor. For purposes hereof, Hazardous Materials shall include, but not be limited to, (i) substances defined as “hazardous substances”, “toxic substances”, or “hazardous wastes” in (a) the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, (b) the federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, (c) the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (“RCRA”); (ii) those substances defined as “hazardous wastes” in the Massachusetts Hazardous Waste Facility Siting Act, as amended (Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 21D); (iii) those substances defined as “hazardous materials” or “oil” in Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 21E, as amended; (iv) those substances regulated by any other federal, state, county, municipal or local laws relating to the environment or health and human safety (whether now existing or hereinafter enacted or promulgated); and (v) such substances as are defined in any regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant to any of said laws (collectively, “Regulations”). Sublessor hereby consents to Sublessee’s use of the Hazardous Materials listed on Exhibit E attached hereto and to normal quantities of cleaning fluid and office supplies which may constitute Hazardous Materials but which are customarily present in premises devoted to office use, provided that such use is in compliance with all Regulations and shall be subject to all of the other provisions of this Paragraph 32, except that Sublessee shall not be required to provide Sublessor with the aforesaid list of the types and quantities of such cleaning fluids and office supplies. Sublessee shall also provide Sublessor with a copy of any Hazardous Materials inventory statement required by any applicable Regulations, and any update filed in accordance with any applicable Regulations. If Sublessee’s activities violate or create a risk of violation of any Regulations or cause a spill, discharge, release or exposure to any persons or property, Sublessee shall cease such activities immediately upon notice from Sublessor. Sublessee shall immediately notify Sublessor both by telephone and in writing of any spill, discharge, release or exposure of Hazardous Materials in or about the Subleased Premises or of any condition in or about the Subleased Premises constituting an “imminent hazard” under any Regulations. After giving reasonable notice, except in the event of an emergency, Sublessor and Sublessor’s representatives and employees may enter the Subleased Premises when accompanied by a representative of Sublessee at any time during the Term to inspect Sublessee’s compliance herewith, and may disclose any spill, discharge, release, or exposure or any violation of any Regulations to any governmental agency with jurisdiction.

Sublessee hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sublessor, its directors, partners, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, licensees, invitees, successors and assigns from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement of claims or remediation of contamination) incurred by such indemnified parties as a result of or in connection with Sublessee’s use of Hazardous Materials (except for Hazardous Materials or Wastes existing at the Subleased Premises prior to the date of this Sublease) or as a result of or in connection with activities prohibited under this Paragraph 32. Sublessee shall bear, pay and discharge, as and when the same become due and payable, any and all such judgments or claims for damages, penalties or otherwise against such indemnified parties, shall hold such indemnified parties harmless against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, and shall assume the burden and expense of defending all suits, administrative proceedings, and negotiations of any description with any and all persons, political subdivisions or government agencies arising out of any of the occurrences set forth in this Paragraph 32.

PREMISES; TERM; RENT; OPERATING

EXPENSES; AND ELECTRICITY

2.1 PREMISES AND EXCLUSIONS

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the Premises. The Premises shall be delivered in two phases. The Premises shall initially consist of Premises A, as shown as Exhibit A, until the Premises B Rent Commencement Date. From and after the Premises B Rent Commencement Date, Premises B shall be added to and included in the Premises, and the Premises thereafter shall consist of the entire Building. Until the Delivery Date for Premises B, the Premises exclude common areas and facilities of the Building, including without limitation exterior faces of exterior walls, the common stairways and stairwells, entranceways and any lobby and courtyard areas, elevators and elevator wells, fan rooms, electric and telephone closets, janitor closets, freight elevator vestibules, and pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures serving other parts of the Building (exclusively or in common) and other common areas and facilities. If the Premises include less than the entire rentable area of any floor, then the Premises also exclude the common corridors, elevator lobby and toilets located on such floor. Tenant shall have access to the Premises 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, subject to Landlord’s security procedures.

This Lease is subject to all easements, restrictions, agreements, and encumbrances of record to the extent in force and applicable. Subject to Tenant’s obtaining all necessary permits and approvals to operate the Premises for the Permitted Uses, to the knowledge of Landlord, such easements, restrictions, agreements and encumbrances of record do not materially and adversely affect the use and occupancy of the Premises for general office purposes, and the Special Permit dated March 9, 1992 allows Tenant to operate the Premises for the Permitted Uses.

With respect to any improvements or alterations proposed to be made to the Premises by Transform Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or Alterex, Inc. (current occupants thereof) that (i) require the consent of Landlord and (ii) are requested after the date of this Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant of said request and submit to Tenant for review and approval any proposed plans or other materials submitted to Landlord. To the extent said proposed improvements or alterations are acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall not grant its consent to said improvements or alterations until Landlord first obtains Tenant’s consent thereto, subject, however, to Landlord’s obligations under its respective leases with Transform Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Alterex, Inc.

2.2 APPURTENANT RIGHTS

Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, rights to use in common (subject to reasonable rules of general applicability to tenants and other users of the Building from time to time made by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice): (a) the common lobbies, corridors, stairways, elevators and loading platform, and the pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment serving the Premises in common with others; (b) common driveways and walkways necessary for access to the Building; (c) if the Premises include less than the entire rentable floor area of any floor, the common toilets, corridors and elevator lobby on such floor and serving the Premises; and (d) all other areas or facilities in the Building from time to time intended for general use by Tenant, other Building tenants, and Landlord; and (e) the right to parting as set forth in Article XI hereof.

2.3 RESERVATIONS

Landlord reserves the right from time to time, without unreasonable (except in emergency) interruption of Tenant’s use: (a) to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to the Premises and other parts of the Building, or either, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, wherever located in the Premises or the Building so long as such installation, maintenance, repair, replacement and relocation does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use; and (b) to alter or relocate any other common facility, including without limitation any lobby and courtyard areas so long as such alteration or relocation does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use and does not substantially decrease the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises. Installations, replacements and relocations referred to in clause (a) above shall be located as far as practicable in the central core area of the Building, above ceiling surfaces, below floor surfaces or within perimeter walls of the Premises.

2.4 TERM

The Term Commencement Date shall be the Delivery Date of Premises A. The Delivery Date for Premises A shall be the date upon which Landlord delivers Premises A to Tenant in “broom clean” condition, of any occupants, with systems and equipment serving the same in good and operational condition, which date is anticipated to occur on or before April 20, 2001. If there is a holding over or retention of possession of Premises A or any portion thereof, by any prior tenant or occupant, or if Landlord shall otherwise be unable to deliver possession of Premises A due to causes beyond its reasonable control by September 30, 2001, Tenant may terminate this Lease for the entire Premises by notice delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days of such date, provided however that if Landlord delivers Premises A to Tenant within said thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of termination, the termination notice shall be deemed to be void and of no force or effect.

The Delivery Date for Premises B shall be the date upon which Landlord delivers Premises B to Tenant in “broom clean” condition, free of any occupants, with systems and equipment serving the same in good and operational condition, which date is anticipated to occur on September 1, 2002. If there is a holding over or retention of possession of Premises B or any portion thereof, by any prior tenant or occupant, or if Landlord shall otherwise be unable to deliver possession of Premises B due to causes beyond its reasonable control, then Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for the failure or delay in giving possession, but Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be proportionately abated based on the area not delivered until the same is available for delivery to Tenant. Landlord hereby agrees to commerce and prosecute eviction proceedings against any tenant or other occupant holding over in Premises B for more than forty (40) days following expiration of the prior leases.

Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, the Delivery Date for Premises A and the Delivery Date for Premises B shall not occur until:

(i) Landlord has provided Tenant a statement of decommissioning certifying that the Premises comply with the regulations of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and/or the Radiation Control Program of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, as evidenced by a letter from Landlord’s consultant confirming that the required close-out of radiation survey has been completed and the Premises qualify for release under such applicable decommissioning regulations, and

(ii) (a) Landlord has caused the Premises to be inspected by a qualified professional for the presence of any hazardous materials or substances, which professional shall prepare a written report setting forth such professional’s evaluation of whether any portion of the Premises are contaminated (the “Contaminated Areas”) by any such hazardous materials or substances which require cleanup and/or remediation under applicable laws set forth in Section 5.2 (the “Baseline Assessment”), (b) Landlord has delivered a copy of the Baseline Assessment to Tenant, (c) Landlord has caused to be performed at no cost to Tenant any cleanup and/or remedial measures recommended in the Baseline Assessment and (d) such cleanup and/or remedial measures recommended by the Baseline Assessment have been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of Tenant.

Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute a memorandum or other documentation setting forth the Term Commencement Date and the Rent Commencement Dates for Premises A and Premises B, as determined hereunder by Landlord, which Landlord may, at its option, record at the appropriate land records office.

---

2.4.1 EXTENSION OPTION. Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term for two additional five-year extension terms (the “First Extension Term” and “Second Extension Term,” respectively; each an “Extension Term”) by notice given to Landlord at least twelve (12) months before the expiration of the initial Term and the First Extension Term, if any. Tenant’s election shall be exercised, and Annual Fixed Rent for each Extension Term determined, as set forth below. If Tenant fails timely to exercise its option for the First Extension Term, Tenant shall have no further extension rights hereunder.

Tenant’s option so to extend the Term shall be void, at Landlord’s election, if Tenant is in default (continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period) at the time Tenant elects to extend the Term or at the time the Term would expire but for such extension. Any extension of the Term shall be applicable to the entire Premises. During each Extension Term, if any, all provisions of this Lease shall apply except that Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term after the Second Extension Term.

During each Extension Term, Tenant shall pay Annual Fixed Rent equal to the then prevailing market rate for a five-year lease of biotech facilities in the greater Boston, Massachusetts “Metro-West” area (such area not to include Cambridge, Massachusetts) comparable to the Premises in terms of location within a building, finish, age, building quality and amenities for a tenant of equal size and financial strength as Tenant as of such date.

Landlord shall notify Tenant of its estimate of the prevailing market rate within ten (10) days after Tenant exercises the extension option. Tenant shall have the option to accept or reject by written notice Landlord’s estimate, or to withdraw its exercise of the extension option. In the event Tenant rejects Landlord’s estimate then the prevailing market rate shall be arbitrated in accordance with the following procedure. Each of Landlord and Tenant, within twenty (20) days after notice by Tenant disputing Landlord’s estimate of the prevailing market rate, shall appoint as an arbitrator an MAI appraiser with at least ten years experience as an appraiser of Boston office buildings, including first class suburban office buildings, and shall give notice of such appointment to the other party. If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail timely to appoint an arbitrator, the other may apply to the Boston Office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for appointment of such an arbitrator if the arbitrator has not been appointed within five business days after notice of such failure has been given to the delinquent party. The two arbitrators shall, within five business days after appointment of the second arbitrator, appoint a third arbitrator who shall be similarly qualified. If the two arbitrators are unable to agree timely on the selection of the third arbitrator, then both arbitrators together may request such appointment from the Boston office of the AAA. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA insofar as such rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease (in which case the provisions of this Lease shall govern), and the arbitrators shall be charged to reach a majority decision in accordance with the standards provided in this Lease. The prevailing market rent rate shall be in accordance with the arbitrators’ decision and shall then be the Annual Fixed Rent for the

 

5

---

Extension Term. The cost of the arbitration (exclusive of each party’s witness and attorneys fees, which shall be paid by such party) shall be borne equally by the parties. If the AAA shall cease to provide arbitration for commercial disputes in Boston, the second or third arbitrator, as the case may be, shall be appointed by any successor organization providing substantially the same services, and in the absence of such an organization, by a court of competent jurisdiction under the arbitration act of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

For any portion of the Extension Term during which the prevailing market rent is in dispute hereunder, Tenant shall make payment on account of Annual Fixed Rent at the rate payable for the preceding lease year and the parties shall adjust for over or under payments within twenty days after the decision of the arbitrators is announced.

Promptly after the Annual Fixed Rent is determined for any Extension Term, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease confirming the extension of the Term and the new rate for Annual Fixed Rent.

2.5 ANNUAL FIXED RENT

Tenant covenants and agrees to pay the Annual Rent in Section 1.1 to Landlord in advance in equal installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Term commencing on the respective Rent Commencement Dates for monthly Premises A and Premises B, except that if the Delivery Date for Premises A occurs prior to June 1, 2001, Tenant’s obligation to pay Annual Fixed Rent shall not commence until June 1, 2001. All payments shall be due without billing or demand and without deduction, setoff or counterclaim. Tenant shall make payment for any portion of a month at the beginning or end of the Term on a per diem basis. All payments shall be payable to Landlord at its Address, both as specified in Section 1.1, or to such other entities at such other places as Landlord may from time to time designate.

Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant’s obligation so to pay rent, or to pay any additional charge hereunder, shall not be discharged or otherwise affected by any law or regulation now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, or any law or regulation now or hereafter restricting Tenant’s use, or (except as expressly provided herein) any casualty or taking, or any failure by Landlord to perform any covenant contained herein, or any other breach of this Lease or occurrence; and Tenant waives all rights now or hereafter existing to terminate or cancel this Lease or quit or surrender the Premises or any part thereof, or to assert any defense in the nature of constructive eviction to any action seeking to recover rent or additional charges, except as specifically provided herein. The term “rent” as used herein shall mean Annual Fixed Rent, Operating Expenses, Taxes, and any additional amounts or charges due from Tenant under this Lease.

2.6 ADDITIONAL CHARGES—OPERATING EXPENSES AND TAXES

2.6.1 ADDITIONAL CHARGES—GENERAL COVENANT. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord, as additional charges (“Additional Rent”), its proportionate share of: (i) Landlord’s Operating Expenses and (ii) Landlord’s Taxes. As of the

Delivery Date for Premises B, Tenant’s proportionate share shall be one hundred percent (100%).

 

6

---

Appropriate adjustments shall be made on a per diem basis for any portion of a year at the beginning or end of the Term.

2.6.2 PAYMENT. Additional Rent for Operating Expenses and Taxes under this Section 2.6 shall be paid for any portion of a month at the beginning of the Term and thereafter in monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month in amounts reasonably estimated by Landlord for the then current calendar year. Landlord may from time to time revise such estimates based on available information relating to Landlord’s Operating Expenses and Taxes or otherwise affecting the calculation hereunder. Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord will provide Tenant with an accounting of Landlord’s Operating Expenses and Taxes, in a form similar to the statement attached hereto as Exhibit I, and other data necessary to calculate Additional Rent hereunder for such calendar year prepared in accordance herewith and otherwise in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such statement shall be an audited statement if requested by Tenant. There shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant for the calendar year covered by such accounting to the end that Landlord shall have received the exact amount of Additional Rent due hereunder. Any overpayments by Tenant hereunder shall be credited against the next payments of additional charges due under this Section 2.6, or, at the end of the Term, paid by Landlord within thirty (30) days, provided there are no outstanding amounts due Landlord under this Lease at such time. Any underpayments by Tenant shall be due and payable within ten (10) days of delivery of Landlord’s statement. With respect to the calendar year in which the Term ends, the adjustment shall be pro rated for the portion of the year included in the Term, but shall take place nevertheless at the times provided in the preceding sentences.

Upon request by Tenant made within sixty (60) days after delivery to Tenant of Landlord’s accounting, Landlord will make available for review by Tenant, for a period ending sixty (60) days after such request by Tenant, in Landlord’s offices, all records and documents used in preparing Landlord’s annual accounting for the calendar year just ended. If Tenant does not object to Landlord’s accounting of Operating Expenses and Taxes within sixty (60) days after issuance thereof, listing specific items of dispute and the grounds therefor, such accounting shall be deemed conclusive between the parties. Tenant’s review of Landlord’s books and records shall (i) be on a confidential basis and may be used only for the purpose of determining the correct amount of Additional Rent for Landlord’s Taxes and Operating Expenses due under this Lease, and each person participating in Tenant’s audit shall sign a confidentiality agreement to that effect, and (ii) be reviewed by Tenant’s employees or a national public accounting firm which is not compensated on a contingency fee basis or in any other manner which is dependent upon the results of such review (Tenant shall deliver the fee agreement or other similar evidence to Landlord upon request). Each party shall make any payments required under Landlord’s original accounting at the times set forth in the prior paragraph, notwithstanding that Tenant may then or thereafter exercise its rights under this paragraph, with any further adjustment eventually determined to be necessary for any item raised by Tenant under this paragraph to be paid within thirty (30) days of such determination.

If the Additional Rent due as finally determined for such calendar year is less than the Additional Rent paid by Tenant, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the difference in one lump sum within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s request. Tenant shall pay the costs of the audit unless Landlord’s Operating Expenses and Landlord’s Taxes determined by the audit are more than five percent (5%) greater than Landlord’s Operating Expenses and Landlord’s Taxes as originally submitted by Landlord, in which case Landlord shall pay the costs of the audit.

If Landlord, in its sole discretion, installs a new or replacement capital item for the purpose of reducing or conserving the use of energy in the Building, complying with any building code or other law, regulation, or legal requirement, complying with requirements of any insurer, or otherwise relating to the operation of the Building, the cost of such item amortized over the useful economic life of such item as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the annual amortization of such improvement, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the then current prime sending rate plus two percent (2%) reported by the Wall Street Journal (or another comparable publication reasonably selected by Landlord), shall be deemed a Landlord’s Operating Expense in each calendar year, during which such cost of improvement is amortized.

2.6.4 “LANDLORD’S TAXES”—DEFINITION. “Landlord’s Taxes” means all taxes, assessments and similar charges assessed or imposed on the Land for the then current calendar year by any governmental authority attributable to the Building ((including personal property associated therewith). The amount of any special taxes, special assessments and agreed or governmentally imposed “in lieu of tax” or similar charges shall be included in Landlord’s Taxes for any year but shall be limited to the amount of the installment (plus any interest, other than penalty interest, payable thereon) of such special tax, special assessment or such charge required to be paid during or with respect to the year in question. Landlord’s Taxes include expenses, including reasonable fees of attorneys, appraisers and other consultants, incurred in connection with any efforts to obtain abatements or reduction or to assure maintenance of Landlord’s Taxes for any year wholly or partially included in the Term, whether or not successful and whether or not such efforts involved filing of actual abatement applications or initiation of formal proceedings. If Landlord obtains such abatement or reduction, Tenant shall be entitled to its proportionate share of such abatement or reduction. Landlord’s Taxes exclude income taxes of general application and all estate, succession, inheritance and transfer taxes. If at any time during the Term there shall be assessed on Landlord, in addition to or in lieu of the whole or any part of the ad valorem tax on real or personal property, a capital levy or other tax on the gross rents or other measures of building operations, or a governmental income, franchise, excise or similar tax, assessment, levy, charge or fee measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon Building valuation, gross rents or other measures of building operations or benefits of governmental services furnished to the Building, then any and all of such taxes, assessments, levies, charges and fees, to the extent so measured or based, shall be included within the term Landlord’s Taxes, but only to the extent that the same would be payable if the Building and Land were the only property of Landlord.

2.7 ELECTRICITY

Tenant may obtain additional services, utilities, facilities and supplies from time to time upon reasonable advance request or Landlord may furnish the same without request if Landlord determines that Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises necessitates the same (for example where the condition of the Premises necessitates additional cleaning services), and, in either case, the cost of the same at reasonable rates from time to time established by Landlord shall constitute additional charges due by Tenant hereunder, payable upon billing.

4.1.1.1 WATER CHARGES. Landlord shall furnish hot and cold water for ordinary office cleaning, toilet, lavatory and drinking purposes. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any other purpose, Landlord may assess on Tenant reasonable charges for additional water.

4.1.1.4 HEAT AND AIR-CONDITIONING. Landlord shall, through the Building heating and air-conditioning system, furnish to and distribute in the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, heat during the normal heating season and air-conditioning when air-conditioning may reasonably be required for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises by Tenant. Landlord shall not be required to furnish heat and air-conditioning in the Premises in excess of the capacity of the equipment presently installed in the Building. If Tenant requires additional air-conditioning for business machines, meeting rooms or other purposes, or because of occupancy or unusual electrical loads, any additional air-conditioning units, chillers, condensers, compressors, ducts, piping and other equipment and facilities will be installed and maintained by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost, but only to the extent that the same are compatible with the Building and its mechanical systems.

4.1.1.5 ENERGY CONSERVATION. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and to abide by all non-discriminatory Building regulations which Landlord may, from time to time, prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the heating and air-conditioning systems and in order to maximize the effect thereof and to conserve heat and air-conditioning so long as such regulations do not materially interfere with the Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1.1 or otherwise in this Lease, Landlord may institute such policies, programs and measures as may be in Landlord’s reasonable judgment necessary, required or expedient for the conservation or preservation of energy or energy services, or as may be necessary to comply with applicable codes, rules, regulations or standards.

4.2 INTERRUPTION

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business arising from the necessity of Landlord or its agents entering the Premises for any of the purposes authorized in this Lease or for repairing the Premises or from repairs by Landlord of any portion of the Building however the necessity may occur. In case Landlord is prevented or delayed from diligent construction of improvements, making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any services or performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on Landlord’s part, by reason of any cause reasonably beyond Landlord’s control, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2 below, and in Section 6.1, shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises. In no event shall Landlord be liable for indirect or consequential damages arising out of any default by Landlord or otherwise.

Landlord reserves the right to stop any service or utility system, when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been completed; provided, however, that in each instance of stoppage, Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause thereof. Except in case of emergency repairs, Landlord will give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any contemplated stoppage and will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary interruption of Tenant’s use of the Premises by reason thereof.

The foregoing notwithstanding, if Landlord fails for any reason within Landlord’s control to provide any service to be supplied by Landlord under the Lease which is necessary for Tenant’s reasonable use of the Premises (such as HVAC, elevator service, electricity, water, or structural repairs), and Tenant is unable to use the Premises on account of such failure, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportional abatement of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent based on the portion of the Premises which is not used by Tenant, unless Landlord cannot repair such services or utility systems due to force majeure or delays caused by Tenant. This abatement shall begin on the thirtieth (30^th ) consecutive business day from Tenant’s written notice to Landlord of the failure. The abatement shall end when the services are restored sufficient to permit use of the Premises.

4.3. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

4.3.1 Property Insurance. Landlord agrees to maintain throughout the Term, with companies licensed and approved to write insurance in Massachusetts, property insurance against direct physical loss or damage to the Building on an “all risks,” agreed amount basis in an amount required by Landlord’s mortgagee (currently, the full replacement value of the Building). Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance with respect to any property which Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Section 5.5.

4.3.2 Liability Insurance. Throughout the Term, Landlord shall maintain in a responsible company or companies liability insurance against claims, demands or actions for injury, death, and property damage in amounts not less than $3,000,000 in the aggregate.

4.4 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Landlord represents that, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, based on the Baseline Assessment performed in connection with this Lease, the Premises and Building do not contain any friable asbestos, oil or other hazardous material, except as set forth in the Baseline Assessment, and there has not been any oil or hazardous materials released on the Land which requires remediation or removal under

 

12

---

Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 21E. If Landlord shall learn of any such release after the date of this Lease, Landlord shall undertake, at no cost to Tenant, or cause the responsible parties to undertake, remediation or removal actions as required by applicable law, subject in all events to Section 5.2 below.

ARTICLE V

TENANTS ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

5.1 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

Except for damage by fire or casualty and reasonable wear and tear, Tenant shall at all times keep the Premises clean, neat and in as good repair, order and condition as the same are at the beginning of the Term or may be put in thereafter. The foregoing shall include without limitation Tenant’s obligation to maintain floors and floor coverings, to paint and repair interior walls and doors, to replace and repair ceiling tiles, lights and light fixtures, drains and the like, not part of the common facilities and clean the Premises to the extent such cleaning is not to be performed by Landlord under Exhibit D.

5.2 USE, WASTE AND NUISANCE

Throughout the Term, Tenant shall use the Premises for the Permitted Uses only, and shall not use the Premises for any other purpose. Tenant shall not injure, overload, deface or commit waste in the Premises or any part of the improvement on the Land, nor permit the emission therefrom of any objectionable noise, light or odor, nor use or permit any use of the Premises which is contrary to law or ordinance or which is liable to invalidate or increase the premium for any insurance on the Building or its contents or which is liable to render necessary any alterations or additions in the Building, except as permitted pursuant to Section 5.9, nor obstruct in any manner any portion of the Building. If Tenant’s use of the Premises results in an increase in the premium for any insurance on the Building or the contents thereof, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such increase and Tenant shall pay same as additional charges. Tenant may not without Landlord’s consent install in the Premises any pay telephones, vending machines, water fountains, refrigerators, sinks or cooking equipment provided that Landlord’s consent will not be unreasonably withheld with respect to items designed for the convenience of Tenant’s employees which are customary for office employees or laboratory use.

Tenant shall not (either with or without negligence) cause or permit the escape, disposal or release of any biologically or chemically active or other hazardous substances, or materials. Tenant shall not allow the storage or use of such substances or materials in any manner not sanctioned by law or by the highest standards prevailing in the life sciences industry (which are applicable to the Building) for the storage and use of such substances or materials, nor allow to be brought into the Building any such materials or substances except to use in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, and after written notice is given to Landlord of the identity of such substances or materials as provided herein. Prior to the Premises A Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all applicable permits in connection with Tenant’s use in, on or around the Premises of hazardous substances or any other substances regulated under Federal, state or local law. On the anniversary date of each Lease Year, Tenant shall annually certify to Landlord the type and quantity of hazardous substances used in, on or around the Premises. Without limitation, hazardous substances and materials shall include those described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §6901 et seq., the Massachusetts Hazardous Waste Management Act, as amended, M.G.L. Chapter 21C, and the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release Prevention Act, as amended, M.G.L. Chapter 21E, and the regulations adopted under these acts. If any lender or governmental agency shall ever require testing to ascertain whether or not there has been any release of hazardous materials, then the reasonable costs thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as additional charges if such requirement applies to the Premises, and if the requirement applies to the

 

13

---

Building generally, then such costs shall be included in Landlord’s Operating Expenses. In addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like from time to time at Landlord’s reasonable request concerning Tenant’s best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of hazardous substances or materials on the Premises. In all events, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in the manner elsewhere provided from any release of hazardous materials on the Premises occurring while Tenant is in possession of the Premises, or elsewhere if caused by Tenant or persons acting under Tenant.

5.3 RULES AND REGULATIONS

Tenant shall conform to all reasonable non-discriminatory rules and regulations now or hereafter promulgated by Landlord for the care and use of the Premises and the Building and attached hereto as Exhibit G. If there is a conflict between such rules and regulations and the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall prevail.

5.4 SAFETY APPLIANCES

Tenant shall keep the Premises equipped with all safety appliances and permits which, as a result of Tenant’s particular activities, are required by law or ordinance or any order or regulation of any public authority, shall keep the Premises equipped at all times with adequate fire extinguishers and other such equipment reasonably required by Landlord, and, subject to Section 5.10, shall make all repairs, alterations, replacements, or additions so required as a result of Tenant’s particular activities.

5.5 INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

Tenant shall save Landlord, its mortgagees, agents, employees, independent contractors, invitees, and any other parties reasonably designated by Landlord from time to time (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless and indemnified (and shall defend the Indemnitees with counsel reasonably approved by the Indemnitees) against any claim, loss or cost arising in whole or in part out of any injury, loss, theft or damage to any person or property while on or in the Premises, or in transit thereto or therefrom, or out of any condition within or around the Premises, except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees, and to any person or property anywhere occasioned by any act, omission, neglect or default of Tenant or of employees, agents, independent contractors or invitees of Tenant or any person acting under Tenant. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord may make all repairs and replacements to the improvements on the Land resulting from acts or omissions of Tenant’s employees, agents, independent contractors or invitees or any other persons acting under Tenant (including damage and breakage occurring as a result of work performed by or for Tenant and when Tenant’s property is being moved into or out of the Building) and Landlord may recover all reasonable costs and expenses thereof from Tenant as additional charges. Throughout the Term (and such earlier or further time as Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant enters upon or occupies any part of the Premises whether pursuant to a license or otherwise) Tenant shall maintain in a responsible company or companies approved by Landlord, liability insurance in form satisfactory to Landlord (which may be in the form of an umbrella policy containing an agreed-upon amount endorsement specific to the Premises), written on an occurrence basis, insuring the Indemnitees and other parties designated by Landlord, and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, against all claims, demands or actions for injury, death, and property damage in amounts not less than those specified in Section 1.1 (as such amounts may, from time to time, be reasonably increased by Landlord). All insurance to be maintained by Tenant under this Section 5.5 shall provide that it will not be subject to cancellation, termination, or change except after at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Indemnitees and other parties designated by Landlord. The policy or policies or a duly executed certificate or certificates for the same (together with satisfactory evidence of the payment of the premium thereon if requested by Landlord) shall be deposited with Landlord and other parties designated by Landlord at the beginning of the Term and, upon renewals of such policies, not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage. If Tenant fails to comply with any of the foregoing requirements, Landlord may obtain such insurance on behalf of Tenant and may keep the

 

14

---

same in effect, and Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional charges (which shall constitute rent hereunder), the premium cost thereof upon demand. The covenants of this Section 5.5 shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease.

5.6 TENANT’S PROPERTY

All furnishings, fixtures, equipment, effects and property of Tenant and of all persons claiming through Tenant which from time to time may be on the Premises or elsewhere in the Building or in transit thereto or therefrom shall be at the sole risk of Tenant and shall be kept insured by Tenant throughout the term at Tenant’s expense and in prudent amounts, and if the whole or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, water or otherwise, or by the leakage or bursting of water pipes, steam pipes, or other pipes, by theft or from any other cause, no part of said loss or damage is to be charged to or be borne by Landlord.

5.7 ENTRY FOR REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS

Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter and examine the Premises at reasonable times and upon prior notice to Tenant, except in an emergency and, if Landlord shall so elect, to make any repairs or replacements Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, to remove at Tenant’s expense any alterations, additions, signs, curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, aerials, flagpoles, or the like not consented to in writing (to the extent such consent is required by this Lease), and to show the Premises to prospective tenants during the eighteen months preceding expiration of the Term and to prospective purchasers and mortgagees at all times. In case of an emergency in the Premises or in the Building, Landlord or its representative may enter the Premises (forcibly, if necessary) at any time to take such measures as may be needed to deal with such emergency.

5.8 ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING

Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or sublet or license the Premises or any portion thereof, or permit the occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises by anybody other than Tenant (all or any of the foregoing actions are referred to as “Transfers” and all or any of assignees, subtenants, licensees, and other such parties are referred to as “Transferees”) without obtaining, on each occasion, the prior consent of the Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.8, this Lease may be assigned, or the Premises may be sublet, in whole or in part, after prior notice to Landlord but without consent of the Landlord and without any termination right of the Landlord being applicable thereto, (i) to any corporation or other entity into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated or to any corporation or entity to which all or substantially all of the Tenant’s assets or capital stock will be transferred, or (ii) to any corporation which is an affiliate, subsidiary, parent or successor of Tenant, provided in all such cases the surviving corporation or entity shall provide reasonable evidence that it has a creditworthiness at least equal to the greater of (i) the net worth of Tenant as of the date of such corporate transaction, and (ii) as of the date of this Lease and shall agree in writing with the Landlord to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease (all of the foregoing being referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”). Unless Landlord’s consent specifically provides otherwise with respect to a particular proposed Transferee, Tenant shall not offer to make or enter into negotiations with respect to a Transfer to any of the following: (i) a tenant in the Hobbs Brook Office Park; (ii) any party with whom Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord is then negotiating with respect to space in the Hobbs Brook Office Park; or (iii) any party which would be of such type, character or condition as to be inappropriate, in Landlord’s judgment, as a tenant for a first class office building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, offer to make or make a Transfer of a portion of the Premises to Transform Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and/or Alterex, Inc., current tenants of the Building. Tenant’s request for consent to a Transfer shall include a copy of the proposed Transfer instrument, if available, or else a statement of the proposed Transfer in detail satisfactory to Landlord, together with reasonably detailed financial, business and other information about the proposed Transferee. Any Transfer, except Permitted Transfers, made without Landlord’s consent shall be void. Landlord shall have the option (but not the obligation) to terminate the Lease with respect to a Transfer of the entire Premises which Tenant proposes effective upon the date of the proposed Transfer and continuing for the proposed term thereof by giving Tenant notice of such termination within 60 days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request. Tenant, however, shall have the right to withdraw such request if Landlord gives Tenant notice of its right to recapture the Premises. If Tenant does make a Transfer hereunder, and, in the event that any assignee or subtenant pays to Tenant any amounts in excess of the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent, and all other payments then payable hereunder, or pro rata portion thereof on a square footage basis for any portion of the Premises (such excess being hereinafter referred to as “Sublease Profits”), Tenant shall promptly pay fifty percent (50%) of said Sublease Profits to Landlord as and when received by Tenant after deduction of Tenant’s Sublease Costs (as hereinafter defined). The term “Sublease Costs” shall mean and refer to Tenant’s reasonable legal, brokerage and construction costs and expenses incurred in good faith in view of the size and expected term of any applicable sublease or assignment and the then unamortized costs of any build-out work incurred by Tenant to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s initial occupancy of the Premises. Sublease Costs shall be amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the applicable sublease or assignment. If the amount of rent and other charges payable under a Transfer is not readily ascertainable, such amount may, at Landlord’s option, be deemed to equal the fair market rent then obtainable for the space in question. Such fair market rent is to be determined pursuant to the arbitration provision as set forth in Section 7.3.

        Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as an additional charge, Landlord’s reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any proposed Transfer, including fees for review of documents and investigations of proposed Transferees not to exceed $1,000.00 per Transfer. Notwithstanding any such Transfer, the original Tenant named herein shall remain directly and primarily obligated under this Lease.

If Tenant enters into any Transfer with respect to the Premises (or any part thereof), Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, require that such Transferee agree directly with Landlord to be liable, jointly and severally with Tenant, to the extent of the obligation undertaken by or attributable to such Transferee, for the performance of Tenant’s agreements under this Lease (including payment of rent and other charges under the Transfer), and every Transfer shall so provide, without relieving or modifying Tenant’s liability hereunder. Landlord may collect rent and other charges from the Transferee and apply the net amount collected to the rent and other charges hereunder, but no such assignment or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of Section 5.8, or the acceptance of the Transferee, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from direct and primary liability for the further performance of Tenant’s covenants hereunder. The consent by Landlord to a particular Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from the requirement of obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further Transfer.

 

15

---

5.9 ALTERATIONS

Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord and only in accordance with complete construction documents approved in advance by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notice to Landlord but without any requirement for Landlord’s consent (except in connection with approval of Tenant’s contractors), Tenant may perform cosmetic alterations in the Premises which do not affect the Building’s structure or base building systems and costs no more than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) in the aggregate for a single project. All such alterations, additions and improvements shall be done only by contractors approved in advance by Landlord. Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits before undertaking any such alterations, additions or improvements and shall carry such insurance and obtain such payment, performance and lien bonds as Landlord shall reasonably require. Any alterations, additions and improvements to the Premises, except movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall belong to Landlord upon the expiration or early termination of the Lease. All alterations, additions and improvements to the Premises shall be at Tenant’s sole cost. If any mechanic’s lien (which term shall include all similar liens relating to the furnishing of labor and materials) is filed against the Building which is claimed to be attributable to Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, Tenant shall give immediate notice of such lien to Landlord and shall discharge the same by payment or filing any necessary bond within 10 days after Tenant has notice (from any source) of such lien. Landlord’s approval of the construction documents shall signify Landlord’s consent to the work shown thereon only and Tenant shall be solely responsible for any errors or omissions contained therein. Landlord’s consents and approvals under this Section 5.9 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

5.10 SURRENDER

At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, without the requirement of any notice, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises including all improvements thereto and all replacements thereof, including carpeting, any water or electricity meters, supplementary electrical and HVAC equipment, and all fixtures and partitions, in any way bolted or otherwise attached to the Premises (which shall become the property of Landlord) except such items as Landlord shall direct Tenant to remove, the Premises and improvements to be in the condition in which the same are required to be maintained under Section 5.1. Prior to the surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall perform a final assessment similar in scope to the Baseline Assessment performed pursuant to Section 2.4 (“Final Assessment”). If the Final Assessment reveals any Hazardous Materials not required by law to be removed or abated (for example, because the amount, type or level of Hazardous Materials falls below regulation under law), at surrender, Tenant shall not be required to remove such Hazardous Materials, provided, that such amount, type or levels of Hazardous Materials has not changed since the date of the Baseline Assessment, and if the amount or levels of Hazardous Materials outlined in the Baseline Assessment has increased since the Baseline Assessment, Tenant shall cause the clean-up and removal of such Hazardous Materials to those levels set forth in the Baseline Assessment. Tenant shall, at the time of surrender, remove only those improvements, goods, effects and fixtures (including cabling) which (i) Landlord directs Tenant to remove as provided in this Section 5.10 at the time Tenant installs such improvements, goods, effects and fixtures, provided that Landlord has received notice and information with respect to such installation and (ii) such improvements listed on Exhibit H (Tenant’s Personal Property). Tenant shall make any repairs to the Premises and other areas necessitated by such removal and leave the Premises clean and tenantable. Should Tenant fail to remove any of such goods, effects, and fixtures, Landlord may have them removed forcibly, if necessary, and store any of Tenant’s property in a public warehouse at the risk of Tenant. If such items are not removed from storage within thirty (30) days, such items may be sold by any customary methods in order to pay storage costs and other expenses of Landlord. The expense of such removal, storage and reasonable repairs necessitated by such removal shall be borne by Tenant or reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord.

5.11 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES

Tenant shall pay promptly when due all taxes (and charges in lieu thereof) imposed upon Tenant’s personal property in the Premises, no matter to whom assessed (including, without limitation, fixtures and equipment).

ARTICLE VI

CASUALTY AND TAKING

6.1 DAMAGE BY FIRE OR CASUALTY

If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other insured casualty, then, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6.1, Landlord shall proceed with diligence, subject to then applicable statutes, building codes, zoning ordinances and regulations of any governmental authority, and at the expense of Landlord (but only to the extent of insurance proceeds made available to Landlord by any mortgagee of the Building) to repair or cause to be repaired such damage. All such repairs made necessary by any act or omission of Tenant shall be made at the Tenant’s expense to the extent that the cost of such repairs are less than the deductible amount in Landlord’s insurance policy. All repairs to and replacements of property which Tenant is entitled to remove shall be made by and at the expense of Tenant. If the Premises or any part thereof shall have been rendered unfit for use and occupation hereunder by reason of such damage the Annual Fixed Rent or a just and proportionate part thereof, according to the nature and extent to which the Premises shall have been so rendered unfit, shall be abated until the Premises (except as to the property which is to be repaired by or at the expense of Tenant) shall have been restored as nearly as practicable to the condition in which they were immediately prior to such fire or other casualty. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to cooperate fully with adjustment, collection, and recovery of insurance proceeds, which obligation shall survive termination of this Lease, and further provided that Tenant shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any and all loss, cost, damage or expense arising from Tenant’s action or inaction in connection with Tenant’s failure to cooperate with such adjustment, collection, and recovery of insurance proceeds, and if Tenant fails to cooperate with such adjustment, collection, and recovery of insurance proceeds, there shall be no abatement of rent. Landlord shall not be liable for delays in the making of any such repairs which are due to government regulation, casualties and strikes, unavailability of labor and materials, delays in obtaining insurance proceeds despite the exercise of all reasonable efforts by Landlord, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, nor shall Landlord be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting from delays in repairing such damage.

Within 30 days after the occurrence of a casualty, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s architect’s good faith estimate of the time to complete such repairs and if such estimate (which shall be non-binding) shall be more than 180 days from the date of the casualty, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice given to Landlord within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s architect’s estimate.

If Landlord fails to commence repairs as soon as is reasonably practicable after such damage, and such failure is not due to causes beyond the control of Landlord, and in any event if Landlord does not commence repairs within sixty (60) days after the casualty, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord. If Landlord, having commenced such repair, has not completed the repair of such damage by the later of (i) 180 days from the occurrence of such damage, or (ii) the date given in any Landlord’s architect’s repair period estimate under the prior paragraph (the later of such dates is referred to below as the “Outside Restoration Date”), Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord within twenty (20) days after the Outside Restoration Date, the termination to be effective not less than thirty (30) days after the date on which such termination notice is received by Landlord. The Outside Restoration Date shall be extended for up to ninety (90) days on account of delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord as described in the next sentence. Delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control shall mean delays in the making of repairs which are due to government regulation, casualties and strikes, unavailability of labor and materials, delays in obtaining insurance proceeds despite the exercise of all reasonable efforts by Landlord, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting from delays in repairing the damage, however if the delays continue more than 90 days beyond the initial Outside Restoration Date, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease in the manner provided above.

        If (i) the Premises are so damaged by fire or other casualty (whether or not insured) at any time during the last thirty months of the Term that the cost to repair such damage is reasonably estimated to exceed one-third of the total Annual Fixed Rent payable hereunder for the period from the estimated completion date of repair until the end of the Term, (ii) at any time the Building (or any portion thereof, whether or not including any portion of the Premises) is so damaged by fire or other casualty (whether or not insured) that substantial alteration or reconstruction or demolition of the Building (or a portion thereof) shall in Landlord’s judgment be required, or (iii) at any time damage to the Building occurs by fire or other insured casualty and any mortgagee shall refuse to permit insurance proceeds to be utilized for the repair or replacement of such property and Landlord determines not to repair such damage, then and in any of such events, this Lease and the term hereof may be terminated at the election of Landlord by a notice from Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days, or such longer period as is required to complete arrangements with any mortgagee regarding such situation not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days, following such fire or other casualty; the effective termination date pursuant to such notice shall be not less than thirty (30) days after the day on which such termination notice is received by Tenant. In the event of any termination, the Term shall expire as though such effective termination date were the date originally stipulated in Section 1.1 for the end of the Term and the Annual Fixed Rent and additional charges for Operating Expenses shall be apportioned as of such date.

6.2 CONDEMNATION—EMINENT DOMAIN

In case during the Term all or any substantial part of the Premises or the Building are taken by eminent domain or Landlord receives compensable damage by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority, this Lease shall terminate at Landlord’s election, which may be made (notwithstanding that Landlord’s entire interest may have been divested) by notice given to Tenant within 90 days after the election to terminate arises, specifying the effective date of termination. The effective date of termination specified by Landlord shall not be less than 15 nor more than 30 days after the date of notice of such termination. Unless terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect following any such taking, subject, however, to the following provisions. If in any such case the Premises are rendered unfit for use and occupation and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall use due diligence (following the expiration of the period in which Landlord may terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section) to put the Premises, or what may remain thereof (excluding any items installed or paid for by Tenant which Tenant may be required to remove pursuant to Section 5.12), into proper condition for use and occupation and a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent and additional charges for Operating Expenses according to the nature and extent of the injury shall be abated until the Premises or such remainder shall have been put by Landlord in such condition; and in case of a taking which permanently reduces the area of the Premises, a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent and additional charges for Landlord’s Operating Expenses shall be abated for the remainder of the Term.

If the entire Premises or the portions of the Building required for reasonable access to, or the reasonable use of, the Premises are taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically end on the earlier of: (i) the date title vests; or (ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority.

If the taking of a part of the Premises materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to continue its business operations then Tenant may end this Lease on the earlier of: (i) the date when title vests; (ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority; or (iii) sixty (60) days following notice to Tenant of the date when vesting or dispossession is to occur. If there is a partial taking and this Lease continues, then the Lease shall end as to the part taken and the Annual Fixed Rent shall abate in proportion to the part of the Premises taken.

6.3 EMINENT DOMAIN AWARD

Landlord reserves to itself any and all rights to receive awards made for damages to the Premises, the Building or the leasehold hereby created, or any one or more of them, accruing by reason of exercise of eminent domain or by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority. Tenant hereby releases and assigns to Landlord all Tenant’s rights to such awards, and covenants to deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request. Tenant shall be entitled to claim and retain amounts which may be awarded to Tenant (specifically so designated by the court or authority having jurisdiction over the matter) in any condemnation proceedings due to the taking of its trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, loss of its leasehold estate, relocation expenses, goodwill and such business loss as Tenant shall separately and specifically establish. Landlord agrees that it shall not discriminate against Tenant in the exercise of any right to terminate this Lease in the event of a condemnation or eminent domain taking.

Landlord’s notice is given together with an estimate of time required for such cure, Tenant shall be allowed such longer period, but only if cure is begun within such 30-day period and such delay does not cause increased risk of damage to person or property), or (2) if three or more notices under clause (1) hereof are given in any twelve month period (failure to pay rent or any other sum for more than 3 days after the particular due date shall have the same effect under this clause (2) as such a notice); (3) if the leasehold hereby created shall be taken on execution, or by other process of law, or if any assignment shall be made of Tenant’s property for the benefit of creditors; or (4) if a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of all or any part of Tenant’s property and such appointment is not discharged within 90 days thereafter or if a petition including, without limitation, a petition for reorganization or arrangement is filed by Tenant under any bankruptcy law or is filed against Tenant and not dismissed within 90 days from the date upon which it is filed, then, and in any of said cases, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease by notice of termination, by entry, or by any other means available under law and may recover possession of the Premises as provided herein. Upon termination by notice, by entry, or by any other means available under law, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, in the case of termination by notice or entry, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of law to recover possession of the Premises from Tenant and those claiming through or under the Tenant. Such termination of this Lease and repossession of the Premises shall be without prejudice to any remedies which Landlord might otherwise have for arrears of rent or for a prior breach of the provisions of this Lease. Tenant waives any statutory notice to quit and equitable rights in the nature of further cure or redemption, and Tenant agrees that upon Landlord’s termination of this Lease Landlord shall be entitled to re-entry and possession in accordance with the terms hereof. Landlord may, without notice, store Tenant’s personal property (and those of any person claiming under Tenant) at the expense and risk of Tenant or, if Landlord so elects, Landlord may sell such personal property at public auction or auctions or at private sale or sales after seven days notice to Tenant and apply the net proceeds to the earliest of installments of rent or other charges owing Landlord. Tenant agrees that a notice by Landlord alleging any default shall, at Landlord’s option (the exercise of such option shall be indicated by the inclusion of the words “notice to quit” in such notice), constitute a statutory notice to quit. If Landlord exercises its option to designate a notice of default hereunder as a statutory notice to quit, any grace periods provided for herein shall run concurrently with any statutory notice periods. Landlord and Tenant waive trial by jury in any action to which they are parties. Tenant further agrees that it shall not interpose any non-compulsory counterclaim or set-off in any summary proceeding or in any action based in whole or in part on non-payment of rent.

7.2 REIMBURSEMENT OF LANDLORD’S EXPENSES

In the case of termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 7.1, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses arising out of such termination, including without limitation, all costs incurred in collecting amounts due from Tenant under this Lease (including attorneys’ fees, costs of litigation and the like); all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to relet the Premises or parts thereof (including advertisements, brokerage commissions, Tenant’s allowances, costs of preparing space, and the like); all of Landlord’s then unamortized costs of special inducements provided to Tenant (including without limitation rent holidays, rent waivers, above building standard leasehold improvements, and the like) and all Landlord’s other reasonable expenditures necessitated by the termination. The reimbursement from Tenant shall be due and payable immediately from time to time upon notice from Landlord that an expense has been incurred, without regard to whether the expense was incurred before or after the termination.

7.3 DAMAGES

In the event of the termination of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant within one year following such termination to be indemnified for loss of rent by a lump sum payment representing the then present value of the amount of rent and additional charges which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease for the remainder of the Term or the Extension Term, as the case may be, minus the then present value of the aggregate fair market rent and additional charges payable for the Premises for the remainder of the Term or the Extension Term, as the case may be; (if less than the rent and additional charges payable hereunder), estimated as of the date of the termination, and taking into account reasonable projections of vacancy and time required to re-lease the Premises; (For the purposes of calculating the rent which would have been paid hereunder for the lump sum payment calculation described herein, the last full year’s additional charges under Section 2.6 is to be deemed constant for each year thereafter. The Federal Reserve discount rate (or equivalent) shall be used in calculating present values.) Should the parties be unable to agree on a fair market rent, the matter shall be submitted, upon the demand of either party, to the Boston, Massachusetts office of the American Arbitration Association, with a request for arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Association by a single arbitrator who shall be an MAI appraiser with at least ten years experience as an appraiser of major office buildings in the Greater Boston area and shall not have a prior relationship with either party. The parties agree that a decision of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon them. If, at the end of the Term, the rent which Landlord has actually received from the Premises is less than the aggregate fair market rent estimated as aforesaid, Tenant shall thereupon pay Landlord the amount of such difference. Should Landlord fail to make the election provided for in this Section 7.3, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for the loss of rent by a payment at the end of each month which would have been included in the Term, representing the difference between the rent which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease (Annual Fixed Rent under Section 2.5, and additional charges which would have been payable under Section 2.6 to be ascertained monthly) and the rent actually derived from the Premises by Landlord for such month (the amount of rent deemed derived shall be the actual amount less any portion thereof attributable to Landlord’s reletting expenses described in Section 7.2 which have not been reimbursed by Tenant thereunder).

7.4 MITIGATION

Any obligation under this Lease or otherwise imposed by law upon Landlord to relet the Premises shall be subject to the right of Landlord (and its affiliates) to lease other available space in Hobbs Brook Office Park and to the reasonable requirements of Landlord to lease to high quality tenants and to lease the Building in a harmonious manner with an appropriate mix of uses, tenants, floor areas and terms of tenancies, and the like.

7.5 CLAIMS IN BANKRUPTCY

Nothing herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain in a proceeding for bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement or reorganization, by reason of the termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by a statute or law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount is greater to, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damage which Landlord has suffered.

7.6 INTEREST ON UNPAID AMOUNTS

If any payment of Annual Fixed Rent, additional charges, or other payment due from Tenant to Landlord is not paid when due, then without notice and in addition to all other remedies hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on such unpaid amount equal to 1.5% of the amount in question for each month and for each part thereof during which said delinquency continues; provided, however, in no event shall such interest exceed the maximum amount permitted to be charged by applicable law.

(e) So long as Tenant is not then in default of any of its obligations under this Lease, and no event has occurred or condition exists which with notice and the passage of time would constitute such a default, Tenant shall be permitted to reduce the amount of the Initial Letter of Credit Security Deposit on each anniversary of the Premises A Rent Commencement Date by a percentage equal to one divided by the number of years then remaining in the Term (initially ten (10) years, as it may be extended) but determined without regard to any then-unexercised extension option.

ARTICLE IX

LANDLORD’S LIABILITY AND ASSIGNMENT FOR FINANCING

9.1 LANDLORD’S LIABILITY

Tenant agrees from time to time to look only to Landlord’s interest in the Land and Building for satisfaction of any claim against Landlord hereunder or under any other instrument related to the Lease (including any separate agreements among the parties and any notices or certificates delivered by Landlord) and not to any other property or assets of Landlord. If Landlord from time to time transfers its interest in the Land and Building (or part thereof which includes the Premises), then from and after each such transfer Tenant shall look solely to the interests in the Land and Building of each of Landlord’s transferees for the performance of all of the obligations of Landlord hereunder (or under any related instrument). The obligations of Landlord shall not be binding on any partners (or trustees or beneficiaries) of Landlord or of any successor, individually, but only upon Landlord’s or such successor’s interest described above.

In no event shall Landlord ever be liable for any indirect or consequential damages.

9.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS

If, at any time and from time to time, Landlord assigns this Lease or the rents payable hereunder to the holder of any mortgage on the Building, or to any other party for the purpose of securing financing (the holder of any such mortgage and any other such financing party are referred to herein as the “Financing Party”), whether such assignment is conditional in nature or otherwise, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) Such assignment to the Financing Party shall not be deemed an assumption by the Financing Party of any obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such Financing Party shall, by written notice to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect;

(ii) Except as provided in (i) above and (iii) below, the Financing Party shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder (subject to Section 9.1) only upon foreclosure of its mortgage (or voluntary conveyance by deed in lieu thereof) and the taking of possession of the Premises from and after foreclosure and, with respect to obligations regarding return of the security deposit, only upon receipt of the funds constituting such security deposit;

(iii) Subject to Section 9.1, the Financing Party shall be responsible for only such breaches under the Lease by Landlord which occur during the period of ownership by the Financing Party after such foreclosure (or voluntary conveyance by deed in lieu thereof) and taking of possession, and defaults which are continuing as of such date, as aforesaid;

 

25

---

(iv) In the event Tenant alleges that Landlord is in default under any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant agrees to give the holder of any mortgage, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default which is served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified, in writing, (whether by way of notice of an assignment of lease, request to execute an estoppel letter, or otherwise) of the address of any such holder. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided by law or such additional time as may be provided in such notice to Landlord, such holder shall have sixty (60) days after the last date on which Landlord could have cured such default within which such holder will be permitted to cure such default. If such default cannot be cured within such sixty-day period, then such holder shall have such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default, if within such sixty day period such holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to effect such cure (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary, to effect such cure), in which event Tenant shall have no right with respect to such default while such remedies are being diligently pursued by such holder.

In all events, any liability of a Financing Party shall be limited to the interest of such Financing Party in the Land and Building, and in no event shall a Financing Party ever be liable for any indirect or consequential damages.

Tenant hereby agrees to enter into such agreements or instruments as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested in confirmation of the foregoing.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s interest in this Lease has been assigned to Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Principal”) pursuant to an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated November 25, 1996 (“Lease Assignment”) and recorded with the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds as Instrument Number 737 on November 25, 1996. Until the Lease Assignment is discharged of record, Tenant shall, upon notice by Principal, make payments under this Lease as directed by Principal. Unless and until such notice is given by Principal, all payments shall be made as set forth in Section 2.5.

ARTICLE X

SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE

This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any first mortgage and to any junior mortgage that has been approved by the first mortgagee that may now be placed upon the Building and/or the Land and to any and all advances to be made under such mortgages and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, extensions and consolidations thereof. Any mortgagee may elect to give this Lease priority to its mortgage, except that the Lease shall not have priority to (i) the prior right, claim and lien of such mortgagees in, to and upon any insurance proceeds and the disposition thereof under the mortgage; (ii) the prior right, claim and lien of such mortgagees in, to and upon any award or compensation heretofore or hereafter to be made for any taking by eminent domain of any part of the Premises, and to the right of disposition thereof under the mortgage; and (iii) any lien, right, power or interest, if any, which may have arisen or intervened in the period between the recording of the mortgages and the execution of this Lease, or any lien or judgment which may arise any time under the terms of this Lease. In the event of such election and upon notification by such mortgagee, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to the said mortgage.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Trustees of Middlesex Mutual Building Trust:

We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the financial statements of Middlesex Mutual Building Trust for the year ended December 31,1999, and have issued our report thereon dated January 28, 2000. We also have audited Middlesex Mutual .Building Trust’s schedule of operating expenses and real estate taxes attributable to the operation of the building owned by the trust at 610 Lincoln Street, Waltham, Massachusetts for the year ended December 31, 1999, as defined in the lease agreements relating to that building. This schedule is the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the schedule of operating expenses and real estate taxes is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the aforementioned schedule. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall schedule presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the schedule referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the building owned by the Trust at 610 Lincoln Street, Waltham, Massachusetts, for the year ended December 31, 1999, as defined in the lease agreements referred to in the first paragraph.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Trustees and management of Middlesex Mutual Building Trust and the parties to the lease agreements and should not be used for any other purpose.

b.

The term of the Lease commenced on              and the Lease terminates on              and rent has been paid through and including             . If there are any rights of extension or renewal remaining under the terms of the Lease, the same have not, as of this date, been exercised.

---

i.

The conduct of Tenant’s business falls within the uses stipulated in the Lease. To the best of Tenant’s knowledge, neither Tenant nor Landlord, is in violation of any exclusive use, radius or non-competition clause in the Lease.

ARTICLE TWO

 

1.

Subordination. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lease and all estates, options (including without limitation any purchase options or rights of first refusal to purchase, if any) liens and charges therein contained or created thereunder is and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien and effect of the Mortgage and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, to the full extent of the indebtedness secured thereby, with the same force and effect as if the Mortgage has been executed, delivered and duly recorded among the above-mentioned public records, prior to the execution and delivery of the Lease.

 

2.

Non-Disturbance. In the event Lender takes possession of the Property by a foreclosure of the Mortgage, or takes a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Lender and any successor to Lender’s interest in the Property agree not to affect or disturb Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises or any of Tenant’s rights and privileges under the Lease in the exercise of Lender’s and any such successor’s rights so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any notice and cure period under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease and provided Tenant has not commenced a voluntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code that has not been dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof, had an order for relief in an involuntary case entered against it that has not been dismissed within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof or taken any action for the purpose of taking advantage of any law relating to the relief of debtors that is still in effect at the time of such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

 

3.

Attornment. Tenant hereby agrees that in the event of a foreclosure sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant will and hereby does attorn to the foreclosure successor so that the Lease and the relationship of Landlord and Tenant shall exist between such foreclosure successor and Tenant; provided, however, that if the foreclosure successor is Lender, its successor or assigns, Lender shall not be:

 

a.

liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including the Borrower) except for any defaults of any prior landlord (including Borrower) which are continuing as of the date of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; or

 

b.

subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including the Borrower) except for any offsets or defenses which have accrued prior to the date of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; or

 

c.

bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including the Borrower); or

 

51

---

d.

liable for repayment of any security deposit not actually paid to Lender; or

 

e.

bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without Lender’s prior written consent except as provided in Section 7 hereof; or

 

f.

bound by any provision in the Lease which obligates the Landlord to construct or complete any building or structure or to make any improvements or to perform any other construction work (including any work necessary to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy), except for maintenance and/or repair obligations under the terms of the Lease (if any) and except Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.1 of the Lease; or

 

g.

bound by any purchase option or right of first refusal to purchase contained in the Lease, if any, with respect to the Premises or the Property or any part thereof.

Such attornment shall be deemed effective and self-operative without the necessity of executing any further instrument immediately upon the Lender’s or foreclosure successor’s succession to the interest of Borrower to the Property.

 

4.

Consent to Assignment of Lease; Payment of Rents. Tenant hereby consents to the Assignment by Borrower to Lender of all of the right, title and interest of Landlord in and to the Lease pursuant to the Assignment. Tenant is hereby advised that said Assignment includes, among other things, the full and complete assignment by Borrower to Lender of all right, power and privilege of Borrower to direct the party to whom rents and other payments under the Lease are to be paid, which right to direct payment is unconditional and unrestricted and may be exercised by Lender at any time, both before and after the occurrence of any default under the Mortgage. Pursuant to such right to direct payment, Lender hereby directs Tenant, until further notification by Lender, to pay all rents and other amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease to Borrower. Upon written request by Lender that Tenant pay all rents and other amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease directly to Lender or any other person, Tenant thereafter shall make all such payments directly to Lender or such other person at the address set forth in such request, until further notification by Lender. Borrower hereby releases Tenant from liability for any such rent payments made by Tenant to Lender or such other person pursuant to Lender’s written request, and agrees that all such payments shall be credited to Tenant under the Lease as if Tenant had made such payments directly to Landlord.

 

5.

Lender Right to Cure Lease Defaults. If Borrower defaults under the Lease, Tenant shall give written notice to Lender specifying the default, and specifying the steps necessary to cure the default and Lender shall be given the opportunity without undertaking Borrower’s obligations, to cure such default. Lender shall have thirty (30)

 

52

---

days after receipt of such notice to cure such default or cause it to be cured, if Lender elects to do so; provided, however, that in the event Lender has begun action to cure the default, but not completed the same within the thirty (30) day period, the Tenant agrees that Lender shall be permitted such time as is reasonably necessary to complete curing such default; and provided further, however; that if the default is such that it cannot practically be cured by Lender without taking possession of the Property, Lender shall be permitted such additional time as necessary to acquire possession of the Property by foreclosure or otherwise, in order to cure such default. During such cure period, Tenant shall not terminate the Lease or exercise any other remedy thereunder with respect to such default; provided; however, that such cure period does not extend beyond ninety (90) days after the date Lender receives a notice from Tenant of Borrower’s default.

 

6.

No Assumption by Lender. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Lender has not assumed and does not have any obligation or liability under or pursuant to the Lease by reason of the Mortgage or the Assignment until Lender forecloses the Mortgage or accepts a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, and then Lender shall be obligated under the Lease subject to the terms of this Agreement.

 

7.

Tenant Covenants. Tenant covenants and agrees with Lender that, without the prior written consent of Lender: (a) Tenant will not pay rent under the Lease more than one calendar month in advance of the accrual thereof; (b) Tenant will not amend, modify or (by agreement with Borrower) terminate the Lease except as expressly permitted in the Lease; (c) Tenant will not assign or pledge the Lease or its rights or obligations thereunder except as expressly permitted in the Lease; and (d) no waiver by Borrower of any of the material obligations of Tenant under the Lease, and no termination of the Lease by Borrower shall be effective as against Lender.

 

8.

Notices. Tenant shall mail or transmit copies of all written notices (other than routine notices transmitted in the ordinary course of business) it may give Borrower with respect to the Lease to Lender simultaneously with the delivery or mailing of such notices to Borrower.
