$3,000,000 face principal amount promissory note dated October 31, 1997 (the
"Facility Two Term Note") made by the Borrower and payable to the order of the
Bank; and (v) that certain $5,000,000 face principal amount Amended and Restated

21, 1997 made by the Borrower and payable to the order of the Bank. The Letter
Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Restated Facility One Term Note and the
Facility Two Term Note are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Financing Documents". The aforesaid Loan Modification Agreement dated October
31, 1997 is hereinafter referred to as the "First Modification".
2. The Letter Agreement is hereby amended, effective as of the date
hereof:
a. By deleting in its entirety clause (i) of Section 1.1 of the
Letter Agreement and by substituting in its stead the following:
"(i) that certain Amended and Restated Facility One Term Note
dated as of May 21, 1997 (the `Facility One Term Note') made by
the Borrower and payable to the order of the Bank,"
As a result, all references in the Letter Agreement (as amended by the
First Modification) to a "Facility One Term Note" will be deemed to refer to the
Restated Facility One Term Note.
b. By deleting in their entireties the first, second and third
sentences of Section 1.3 of the Letter Agreement and by substituting in their
stead the following:
"The Borrower shall repay the aggregate amount of principal of
the Facility One Term Loans in the following installments: (i) 5
equal consecutive monthly payments of $103,958.40 each, payable
on the last day of each month during the period January - May
1998; followed by (ii) 17 equal
2
consecutive quarterly payments of $248,345.06 each, payable on
the last day of each calendar quarter commencing June 30, 1998
and continuing through and including June 30, 2002; followed by
(iii) an 18th and final quarterly payment due on September 30,
2002 in an amount equal to the then outstanding aggregate
principal balance of the Facility One Term Loans and all interest
accrued but unpaid thereon to the date of payment."
c. By adding to Section 1.4 of the Letter Agreement, at the end
thereof, the following:
"The Bank and the Borrower may, in the future, agree to fix the
interest rate on all or any portion of the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of the Facility One Term Loans for the
period of time commencing at the date of such rate-fix and
continuing through the maturity date of the Facility One Term
Loans. Such rate-fix would be accomplished by the Borrower
entering into a swap contract with the Bank. The fixed rate for
this purpose would be determined by the Bank, in its sole
discretion, at the time of entering into the swap contract and
the documentation would be the Bank's then customary
documentation for swap transactions. Such documentation will
include, among other matters, make-whole provisions effective in
the event that (due to prepayment of all or any portion of the
Facility One Term Loans or for any other reason) the swap
transaction described therein is terminated as to any notional
amount prior to its scheduled expiry date. In the event that the
Borrower enters into such a swap contract, the Borrower will
irrevocably elect that as long as the rate-fix is in effect the
Facility One Term Loans will be treated (subject to ss.1.9 below
and the other provisions of this letter agreement) as a series of
LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period for the first of which will
commence on the date of such rate-fix with a subsequent Interest
Period to commence immediately following the completion of each
successive Interest Period."
d. By deleting from the penultimate sentence of Section 1.5 of the
Letter Agreement the words "two (2%) percent" and by substituting in their stead
the following:
"four (4%) percent"
e. By adding to Section 1.5C of the Letter Agreement (as inserted by
the First Modification), at the end thereof, the following:
"The Bank and the Borrower may, in the future, agree to fix the
interest rate on all or any portion of the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of the Facility Two Term Loans for the
period of time commencing at the date of such rate-fix and
continuing through the maturity date of the Facility Two Term
Loans. Such rate-fix would be accomplished by the Borrower
entering into a swap contract with the Bank. The fixed rate for
this purpose would be determined by the Bank, in its sole
discretion, at the time of
-2-
3
entering into the swap contract and the documentation would be
the Bank's then customary documentation for swap transactions.
Such documentation will include, among other matters, make-whole
provisions effective in the event that (due to prepayment of all
or any portion of the Facility Two Term Loans or for any other
reason) the swap transaction described therein is terminated as
to any notional amount prior to its scheduled expiry date. In the
event that the Borrower enters into such a swap contract, the
Borrower will irrevocably elect that as long as the rate-fix is
in effect the Facility Two Term Loans will be treated (subject to
ss.1.9 below and the other provisions of this letter agreement)
as a series of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period for the first of
which will commence on the date of such rate-fix with a
subsequent Interest Period to commence immediately following the
completion of each successive Interest Period."
f. By deleting in its entirety Section 1.7 of the Letter Agreement
and by substituting in its stead the following:
"1.7. PREPAYMENT OF FIXED RATE LOANS. The following provisions of
this ss.1.7 shall be effective only with respect to Fixed Rate
Loans: As to any Fixed Rate Loan, the Borrower shall have the
right (subject to the payment of the yield maintenance fee
described below) to prepay such Fixed Rate Loan at any time in
whole or in part; provided that any partial prepayment of any
Fixed Rate Loan shall be in the amount of $500,000 or an integral
multiple thereof. If, due to acceleration of any Term Note or due
to voluntary or mandatory repayment or prepayment or due to any
other reason, the Bank receives payment of any principal of a
LIBOR Loan on any date prior to the last day of the relevant
Interest Period or receives payment of all or any portion of any
installment of the COF Loan prior to the regularly scheduled due
date for such installment, or if for any reason a Fixed Rate Loan
is converted to a Floating Rate Loan (except, as to a LIBOR Loan,
at the end of the relevant Interest Period), the Borrower shall,
upon demand and receipt of a Bank Certificate from the Bank with
respect thereto, pay forthwith to the Bank a yield maintenance
fee in an amount computed as follows: The current rate for United
States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be
converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to
the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the affected
LIBOR Loan (or the regularly scheduled due date of any
installment of the COF Loan) shall be subtracted from the `cost
of funds' component (being, for LIBOR Loans, reserve-adjusted
LIBOR) of the fixed rate in effect at the date of prepayment. If
the result is zero or a negative number, there shall be no yield
maintenance fee. If the result is a positive number, then the
resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the amount of the
principal balance being prepaid. The resulting amount shall be
divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days remaining in
the relevant Interest Period (or, in the case of prepayment of an
installment of the COF
-3-
4
Loan, days remaining until the regularly scheduled due date
thereof). Said amount shall be reduced to present value
calculated by using the number of days remaining in the relevant
Interest Period (or, in the case of prepayment of an installment
of the COF Loan, days remaining until the regularly scheduled due
date thereof) and by using the above-referenced United States
Treasury security rate as the discount rate. The resulting amount
shall be the yield maintenance fee due to the Bank upon
prepayment or conversion of the applicable Fixed Rate Loan. Any
acceleration of a Fixed Rate Loan due to an Event of Default will
give rise to a yield maintenance fee calculated with the respect
to such Fixed Rate Loan on the date of such acceleration in the
same manner as though the Borrower had exercised a right of
prepayment at that date, such yield maintenance fee being due and
payable at that date."
g. By deleting from the third sentence of the grammatical third
paragraph of Section 1.10 of the Letter Agreement the words "at its office at 00
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000" and by substituting in its stead the following:
"in lawful currency of the United States, at its offices at Xxx
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000"
h. By changing the notice address of the Bank, pursuant to Section
6.4 of the Letter Agreement, to the following:
"Fleet National Bank
High Technology Division
Mail Stop: MA OF XX0X
Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx, XX 00000
Attention: Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Vice President"
i. By inserting into Section 6.5 of the Letter Agreement,
immediately after the third sentence of such Section, the following:
"Without limitation of the foregoing generality,
(i) The Bank may at any time pledge all or any portion of its
rights under the Loan Documents (including any portion of any
Term Note) to any of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks organized under
Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No
such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the Bank
from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
(ii) The Bank shall have the unrestricted right at any time and
from time to time, and without the consent of or notice to the
Borrower, to grant to one or more banks or other financial
institutions (each, a `Participant')
-4-
5
participating interests in the Bank's obligation to lend
hereunder and/or any or all of the Term Loans held by the Bank
hereunder. In the event of any such grant by the Bank of a
participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon
notice to the Borrower, the Bank shall remain responsible for the
performance of its obligations hereunder and the Borrower shall
continue to deal solely and directly with the Bank in connection
with the Bank's rights and obligations hereunder. The Bank may
furnish any information concerning the Borrower in its possession
from time to time to prospective assignees and Participants;
provided that the Bank shall require any such prospective
assignee or Participant to agree in writing to maintain the
confidentiality of such information to the same extent as the
Bank would be required to maintain such confidentiality."
j. By inserting into Article VI of the Letter Agreement, at the end
of such Article, the following:
"6.9. REPLACEMENT NOTE. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an
officer of the Bank as to the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Term Note or of any other Loan Document which
is not of public record and, in the case of any such mutilation,
upon surrender and cancellation of such Term Note or other Loan
Document, the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement
Term Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount (as
to a Term Note) and in any event of like tenor.
6.10. USURY. All agreements between the Borrower and the Bank are
hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event
whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of any
Term Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be
paid to the Bank for the use or the forbearance of the
Indebtedness represented by any Term Note exceed the maximum
permissible under applicable law. In this regard, it is expressly
agreed that it is the intent of the Borrower and the Bank, in the
execution, delivery and acceptance of the Term Notes, to contract
in strict compliance with the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. If, under any circumstances whatsoever,
performance or fulfillment of any provision of any Term Note or
any of the other Loan Documents at the time such provision is to
be performed or fulfilled shall involve exceeding the limit of
validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation so to
be performed or fulfilled shall be reduced automatically to the
limit of such validity, and if under any circumstances whatsoever
the Bank should ever receive as interest an amount which would
exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be
excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal balance evidenced by the Term Notes and not to the
payment of interest. The provisions of this ss.6.10 shall control
every other provision of this letter agreement and of each Term
Note.

'
6.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER AND THE BANK HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY MUTUALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LETTER AGREEMENT, ANY
TERM NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OUT OF ANY COURSE OF
CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN)
OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR THE BANK TO ENTER INTO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT AND
TO MAKE TERM LOANS AS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN."
k. By deleting the number "1.75" from the definition of "Eurodollar
Interest Rate" appearing in Section 7.1 of the Letter Agreement and by
substituting in its stead the following:
"1.55"
As a result, the formula for calculating the Eurodollar Interest Rate will be:
EIR = LIBOR
--------- + 1.55
[1.00-RR]
l. By deleting in its entirety the definition of "LIBOR" appearing
in Section 7.1 and by substituting in its stead the following:
"`LIBOR' - With respect to each Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan,
that rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest
1/32nd of one percent) which represents the offered rate for
deposits in U.S. Dollars, for a period of time comparable to such
Interest Period, which appears on the Telerate page 3750 as of
11:00 a.m. (London time) on that day that is two (2) London
Banking Days preceding the first day of such Interest Period;
provided, however, that if the rate described above does not
appear on the Telerate System on any applicable interest
determination date, LIBOR for such Interest Period shall be the
rate (rounded upwards as described above, if necessary) for
deposits in dollars for a period substantially equal to such
Interest Period shown on the Reuters Page `LIBO' (or such other
page as may replace the LIBO Page on that service for the purpose
of displaying such rates), as of 11:00 a.m. (London Time), on
that day that is two (2) London Banking Days prior to the
beginning of such Interest Period. `London Banking Day' shall
mean any date on which commercial banks are open for business in
London. If both the Telerate and Reuters systems are unavailable,
then LIBOR for any Interest Period will be determined on the
basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a
period of time comparable to such Interest Period which are
offered by four major banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day that is two
(2) London Banking Days preceding the first day of such
-6-
7
Interest Period, as selected by the Bank. The principal London
office of each of four major London banks will be requested to
provide a quotation of its U.S. Dollar deposit offered rate. If
at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that date
will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two
quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that date will
be determined on the basis of the rates quoted for loans in U.S.
Dollars to leading European banks for a period of time comparable
to such Interest Period offered by major banks in New York City
at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day that
is two London Banking Days preceding the first day of such
Interest Period. In the event that the Bank is unable to obtain
any such quotation as provided above, it will be deemed that
LIBOR for the proposed Interest Period cannot be determined. The
Bank shall give prompt notice to the Borrower of LIBOR as
determined for each LIBOR Loan and such notice shall be
conclusive and binding, absent manifest error."
m. By deleting in its entirety the definition "Prime Rate" appearing
in Section 7.1 of the Letter Agreement and by substituting in its stead the
following:
"`Prime Rate' - That variable rate of interest per annum
designated by the Bank from time to time as its prime rate, it
being understood that such rate is merely a reference rate and
does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate being
charged to any customer."
3. Wherever in any Financing Document, or in any certificate or
opinion to be delivered in connection therewith, reference is made to a "letter
agreement" or to the "Letter Agreement", from and after the date hereof same
will be deemed to refer to the Letter Agreement, as hereby amended.
4. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Borrower is executing and delivering to the Bank the Restated Facility One
Term Note in substitution for the Original Facility One Term Note. The Restated
Facility One Term Note is a $5,000,000 promissory note of the Borrower,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Wherever in any of the
Financing Documents, or in any certificate or opinion to be delivered in
connection therewith, reference is made to the "Facility One Term Note", from
and after the date hereof same will be deemed to refer to the Restated Facility
One Term Note. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Facility One Term
Loans (as defined in the Letter Agreement) heretofore made under the Letter
Agreement (any such Facility One Term Loans having been heretofore evidenced by
the Original Facility One Term Note), as well as all Facility One Term Loans
made on or after the date hereof, are and will be deemed to be evidenced by the
Restated Facility One Term Note.
5. In order to induce the Bank to enter into this Agreement, the
Borrower agrees to pay, on demand, all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of the Bank's attorneys) incurred by
the Bank in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
-7-

6. In order to induce the Bank to enter into this Agreement, the
Borrower further represents and warrants as follows:
a. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Restated Facility One Term Note have been duly authorized by the Borrower by all
necessary corporate and other action, will not require the consent of any third
party and will not conflict with, violate the provisions of, or cause a default
or constitute an event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice
or both, could cause a default on the part of the Borrower under its charter
documents or by-laws or under any contract, agreement, law, rule, order,
ordinance, franchise, instrument or other document, or result in the imposition
of any lien or encumbrance (except in favor of the Bank) on any property or
assets of the Borrower.
b. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered each of this
Agreement and the Restated Facility One Term Note.
c. Each of this Agreement and the Restated Facility One Term Note is
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the
Borrower in accordance with its respective terms.
d. The statements, representations and warranties made in the Letter
Agreement and/or in the Security Agreement continue to be correct as of the date
hereof; except as amended, updated and/or supplemented by the attached
Supplemental Disclosure Schedule.
e. The covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained in the
Letter Agreement and/or in the Security Agreement have been complied with on and
as of the date hereof.
f. No event which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of
time, or both, could constitute, an Event of Default (as defined in the Letter
Agreement) has occurred and is continuing.
g. No material adverse change has occurred in the financial
condition of the Borrower (other than continuing losses from operations as
heretofore disclosed to the Bank) from that disclosed in the financial
statements of the Borrower dated December 31, 1997, heretofore furnished to the
Bank.
7. Except as expressly affected hereby, the Letter Agreement and
each of the other Financing Documents remains in full force and effect as
heretofore.
8. Nothing contained herein will be deemed to constitute a waiver or
a release of any provision of any of the Financing Documents. Nothing contained
herein will in any event be deemed to constitute an agreement to give a waiver
or release or to agree to any amendment or modification of any provision of any
of the Financing Documents on any other or future occasion.

EXHIBIT 1
AMENDED AND RESTATED FACILITY ONE TERM NOTE
$5,000,000.00 Boston, Massachusetts
As of May 21, 1997
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned GelTex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Borrower") hereby promises to pay to the order of
FLEET NATIONAL BANK (the "Bank") the principal amount of Five Million and 00/100
($5,000,000.00) Dollars or such portion thereof as may be advanced by the Bank
pursuant to ss.1.2 of that certain letter agreement dated May 21, 1997 between
the Bank and the Borrower, as amended (as so amended, the "Letter Agreement")
and remains outstanding from time to time hereunder ("Principal"), with
interest, at the rate hereinafter set forth, on the daily balance of all unpaid
Principal, from the date hereof until payment in full of all Principal and
interest hereunder.
Interest on all unpaid Principal shall be due and payable monthly in
arrears, on the first day of each month, commencing on the first such date after
the advance of any Principal and continuing on the first day of each month
thereafter and on the date of payment of this note in full, at a fluctuating
rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360)
days for the actual number of days elapsed) which shall at all times be equal to
the Prime Rate, as in effect from time to time (but in no event in excess of the
maximum rate permitted by then applicable law), with a change in the aforesaid
rate of interest to become effective on the same day on which any change in the
Prime Rate is effective; provided, however, that (A) if a Eurodollar Interest
Rate (as defined in the Letter Agreement) shall have become applicable to all or
any portion of the outstanding Principal for any Interest Period (as defined in
the Letter Agreement), then interest on such Principal or portion thereof shall
accrue at said applicable Eurodollar Interest Rate for such Interest Period and
shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Letter
Agreement) applicable to such Interest Period, and (B) if a COF Interest Rate
(as defined in the Letter Agreement) shall have become applicable to the
outstanding Principal, then interest on the outstanding Principal shall accrue
at said COF Interest Rate and shall be paid on the first day of each month.
Overdue Principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest shall
bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum which at all times shall be equal
to the sum of (i) four (4%) percent per annum plus (ii) the per annum rate
otherwise payable under this note with respect to the Principal which is overdue
(or as to which such interest is overdue) (but in no event in excess of the
maximum rate permitted by then applicable law), compounded monthly and payable
on demand. As used herein, "Prime Rate" means the variable rate of interest per
annum designated by the Bank from time to time as its prime rate, it being
understood that such rate is merely a reference rate and does not necessarily
represent the lowest or best rate being charged to any customer. If the entire
amount of any required Principal and/or interest is not paid within ten (10)
days after the same is due, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a late fee equal
to five percent (5%) of the required payment, provided that such late fee shall
be reduced to three percent (3%) of any required Principal and interest that is
not paid within fifteen (15) days of the date it is due if this note is secured
by a mortgage on an owner-occupied residence of 1-4 units.
-10-
11
The outstanding Principal of this note shall be repaid by the Borrower
to the Bank in the following installments: (i) 5 equal consecutive monthly
payments of $103,958.40 each, payable on the last day of each month during the
period January - May 1998; followed by (ii) 17 equal consecutive quarterly
payments of $248,345.06 each, payable on the last day of each calendar quarter
commencing June 30, 1998 and continuing through and including June 30, 2002;
followed by (iii) an 18th and final quarterly payment due on September 30, 2002
in an amount equal to all then remaining Principal and all interest accrued but
unpaid thereon.
The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay all or any
portion of any Facility One Term Loan (as defined in the Letter Agreement), but,
as to Fixed Rate Loans (as defined in the Letter Agreement), only at the times
and in the manner, and (under certain circumstances) with the additional
payments, provided for in the Letter Agreement. Any prepayment of Principal, in
whole or in part, will be without premium or penalty (but, in the case of Fixed
Rate Loans, may require payment of additional amounts, as provided for in the
Letter Agreement). Each Principal prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of
all interest on the prepaid amount accrued but unpaid to the date of payment.
Any partial prepayment of Principal will be applied against Principal
installments in inverse order of normal maturity.
Payments of both Principal and interest shall be made, in lawful money
of the United States in immediately available funds, at the office of the Bank
located at Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other
address as the Bank may from time to time designate.
The undersigned Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Bank to make or
cause to be made, on a schedule attached to this note or on the books of the
Bank, at or following the time of making any Facility One Term Loan and of
receiving any payment of Principal, an appropriate notation reflecting such
transaction (including date, amount and maturity) and the then aggregate unpaid
balance of Principal. Failure of the Bank to make any such notation shall not,
however, affect any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Letter
Agreement. The unpaid Principal amount of this note, as recorded by the Bank
from time to time on such schedule or on such books, shall constitute
presumptive evidence of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Facility
One Term Loans.
The Borrower hereby (a) waives notice of and consents to any and all
advances, settlements, compromises, favors and indulgences (including, without
limitation, any extension or postponement of the time for payment), any and all
receipts, substitutions, additions, exchanges and releases of collateral, and
any and all additions, substitutions and releases of any person primarily or
secondarily liable, (b) waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all
other demands and notices generally in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of or under this note, and (c) agrees to
pay, to the extent permitted by law, all reasonable costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by
the Bank in enforcing this note and any collateral or security therefor, all
whether or not litigation is commenced.

12
This note is the Facility One Term Note referred to in the Letter
Agreement. This note is subject to prepayment as set forth in the Letter
Agreement. The maturity of this note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, as provided in the Letter Agreement.
THE BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED ON THIS NOTE OR ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS OR OUT OF
ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN)
OR ACTIONS OF ANY PERSON. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE
BANK TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE AND TO MAKE THE FACILITY ONE TERM LOANS AS CONTEMPLATED
IN THE LETTER AGREEMENT.
