hereinafter called LESSEE, the following described premises, hereinafter called
the leased premises: approximately 15,440 square feet (including 9.6% common
area) at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx 0000 & X000, Xxxxxxx, XX.
TO HAVE AND HOLD the leased premises for a term of five (5) years commencing at
noon on November 1, 1993 and ending at noon on October 30, 1998 unless sooner
terminated as herein provided. LESSOR and LESSEE now covenant and agree that the
following terms and conditions shall govern this lease during the term hereof
and for such further time as LESSEE shall hold the leased premises.
1. RENT. LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR base rent at the rate of one hundred
five thousand three hundred eight (105,308.00) U.S. dollars per year, payable in
advance in monthly installments of $8,775.66 on the first day in each calendar
month in advance, the first monthly payment to be made upon LESSEE's execution
of this lease, including payment in advance of appropriate fractions of a
monthly payment for any portion of a month at the commencement or end of said
lease term. All payments shall be made to LESSOR or agent at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as LESSOR shall from
time to time in writing designate. If the "Cost of Living" has increased as
shown by the Consumer Price Index (Boston, Massachusetts, all items, all urban
consumers), U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the amount of base rent due during
each calendar year of this lease and any extensions thereof shall be annually
adjusted in proportion to any increase in the Index. All such adjustments shall
take place with the rent due on January 1 of each year during the lease term.
The base month from which to determine the amount of each increase in the Index
shall be January 1994, which figure shall be compared with the figure for
November 1994, and each November thereafter to determine the percentage increase
(if any) in the base rent to be paid during the following calendar year. In the
event that the Consumer Price Index as presently computed is discontinued as a
measure of "Cost of Living" changes, any adjustment shall then be made on the
basis of a comparable index then in general use.
2. SECURITY DEPOSIT. LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR a security deposit in the
amount of seventeen thousand (17,000.00) dollars upon the execution of this
lease by LESSEE, which shall be held as security for LESSEE's performance as
herein provided and refunded to LESSEE without interest at the end of this lease
subject to LESSEE's satisfactory compliance with the conditions hereof. In the
event of any default or breach of this lease by LESSEE, LESSOR shall immediately
apply the security deposit first to any unamortized improvements completed for
LESSEE'S occupancy, then to offset any outstanding Invoice or other payment due
to LESSOR, with the balance applied to outstanding rent. If all or any portion
of the security deposit is applied to cure a default or breach during the term
of the lease, LESSEE shall be responsible for restoring said deposit forthwith
and failure to do so shall be considered a substantial default under the lease.
LESSEE's failure to remit the full security deposit or any portion thereof when
due shall also constitute a substantial lease default.
3. USE OF PREMISES. LESSEE shall use the leased premises only for the
purpose of executive and administratives, office research and testing laboratory
and laboratory research facility uses, including biotechnology and
pharmaceutical laboratory research facilities.
4. ADDITIONAL RENT. LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR as additional rent a
proportionate share (7.13%) (based on square footage leased by LESSEE as
compared with the total leaseable square footage of the building of which the
leased premises are a part) of any increase in the real estate taxes levied
against the land and building of which the leased premises are a part, whether
such increase is caused by an increase in the tax rate, or the assessment on the
property, or a change In the method of determining real estate taxes. LESSOR
agrees to make payments on account of any tax assessment or betterment assess
over the longest period permissible by law. In no event shall LESSEE be
responsible for payments on account of any estate, inheritance, or income taxes.
LESSEE shall make payment within thirty (30) days of written notice from LESSOR
that such increased taxes are payable, and any additional rent shall be prorated
should the lease terminate before the end of any tax year. The base from which
to determine the amount of any increase in taxes shall be the rate and the
assessment in effect as of July 1, 1993. In the event that the building of which
the leased premises are a part was not assessed as a completed building as of
the aforementioned date, then the base assessment shall be as of the first date
when the building is assessed as a completed structure.
LESSEE shall pay interest at an annual rate of twelve (12) percent, from
the date due, for any installment of rent or other payment which is not received
by LESSOR within fifteen days of any rent due date or of the mailing of any
invoice.

(30) days of intention to restore the leased premises or (b) LESSOR fails to
restore the leased premises to a condition substantially suitable for their
intended use within ninety (90) days of said fire, casualty or taking. LESSOR

leased premises, and shall obtain prior written approval as to size, wording,
and location of all authorized signs. LESSOR may remove and dispose of any sign
not approved, erected or displayed in conformance with this provision.
19. DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF RENT. In the event that: (a) LESSEE shall
default in the observance or performance of any of LESSEE's covenants,
agreements, or obligations hereunder, other than monetary payments as provided
below, and such default shall not be corrected within [Illegible] days after
written notice thereof, [Illegible]... then LESSOR shall have the right
thereafter, while such default continues and without demand or further notice,
to re-enter and take possession of the leased premises, to declare the term of
this lease ended, and to remove LESSEE's effects, without being guilty of any
manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies which might be
otherwise used for arrears of rent or other default or breach of the lease. If
LESSEE shall default in the payment of the security deposit, rent, taxes, or any
substantial invoice for goods and/or services or other sum herein specified, and
such default shall continue for ten (10) days after written notice thereof, and,
because both parties agree that nonpayment of said sums when due is a
substantial breach of the lease, and, because the payment of rent in monthly
installments is for the sole benefit and convenience of LESSEE, then in addition
to the foregoing remedies, an amount equal to the lesser of one year's rent at
the then current rate or the amount of rent due through the remainder of the
then current lease term shall become immediately due and payable as liquidated
damages. LESSOR, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby
waiving any default, may remedy same for the account and at the expense of
LESSEE, except for rental payments. If LESSOR pays or incurs any obligations for
the payment of money in connection therewith, such sums paid or obligations
incurred plus interest and costs, shall be paid to LESSOR by LESSEE as
additional rent. Any sums received by LESSOR from or on behalf of LESSEE at any
time shall be applied first to any unamortized improvements completed for
LESSEE's occupancy, then to offset any outstanding invoice or other payment due
to LESSOR, with the balance applied to outstanding rent. LESSEE agrees to pay
reasonable attorney's fees and/or administrative costs incurred by LESSOR in
enforcing any or all obligations of LESSEE under this lease at any time.

premises or to the occupancy thereof shall be deemed duly served when served by
constable, or sent to the leased premises by certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed to LESSEE. Any notice from LESSEE to
LESSOR relating to the leased premises or to the occupancy thereof shall be
deemed duly served when served by constable, or delivered to LESSOR by certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to LESSOR at 000 Xxxx
Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 or at LESSOR's last designated address. No oral
notice or representation shall have any force or effect. Time is of the essence
in service of any notice.
21. OCCUPANCY. In the event that LESSEE takes possession of said leased
premises prior to the start of said term, LESSEE will perform and observe all of
LESSEE's covenants from the date upon which LESSEE takes possession except the
obligation for the payment of extra rent for any period of less than one month.
LESSEE shall not remove LESSEE's goods or property from the leased premises
other than in the ordinary and usual course of business, without having first
paid and satisfied LESSOR for all rent which may become due during the entire
term of this lease. In the event that LESSEE continues to occupy or control all
or any part of the leased premises after the agreed termination of this lease
without the written permission of LESSOR, then all other terms of this lease
shall continue to apply except that rent shall be due in full monthly
installments at a rate of one hundred seventy five (175) percent of that which
would otherwise be due under this lease, it being understood between the parties
that such extended occupancy is as a tenant at sufferance and is solely for the
benefit and convenience of LESSEE and as such has greater rental value. LESSEE's
control or occupancy of all or any part of the leased premises beyond noon on
the last day of any monthly rental period shall constitute LESSEE's occupancy
for an entire additional month, and increased rent as provided in this section
shall be due and payable immediately in advance. LESSOR's acceptance of any
payments from LESSEE during such extended occupancy shall not alter LESSEE's
status as a tenant at sufferance.
22. FIRE PREVENTION. LESSEE agrees to use every reasonable precaution
against fire and agrees to provide and maintain approved, labeled fire
extinguishers, emergency lighting equipment, and exit signs and complete any
other modifications within the leased premises as required or recommended by the

Department, or any similar body.

description shall be held or stored outside the leased premises at any time
without prior written consent from LESSOR. Any goods, equipment or things left
outside the leased premises without LESSOR's prior written consent shall be
deemed abandoned and may be removed at LESSEE's expense without notice by
LESSOR. A single two-yard capacity dumpster is hereby authorized for the
disposal of trash, provided that the location of said receptacle is approved by
LESSOR. LESSEE agrees to have said container provided and serviced at its
expense by whichever disposal firm may from time to time be designated by
LESSOR. If a dumpster is provided on a shared cost basis, LESSEE shall pay its
proportionate share of the costs associated with said dumpster.
24. ENVIRONMENT. LESSEE will so conduct and operate the leased premises as
not to interfere in any way with the use and enjoyment at other portions of the
same or neighboring buildings by others by reason of odors, smoke, smells,
noise, pets, accumulation of garbage or trash, vermin or other pests, or
otherwise, and will at its expense employ a professional pest control service if
necessary. LESSEE agrees to maintain efficient and effective devices for
preventing damage to heating equipment from solvents, degreasers, cutting oils,
propellants, etc. which may be present at the leased premises. Except in
connection with LESSEE's operations in the leased premises, provided that LESSEE
complies, no hazardous materials or wastes shall be stored, disposed of, or
allowed to remain at the leased premises at any time, and LESSEE shall be solely
responsible for any and all corrosion or other damage associated with the use,
storage and/or disposal of same by LESSEE.
25. RESPONSIBILITY. Except in the case of LESSOR's negligence, willful
misconduct or default in its obligations under this lease, neither LESSOR nor
OWNER shall be held liable to anyone for loss or damage caused in any way by the
use, leakage, seepage or escape of water from any source, or for the cessation
of any service rendered customarily to said premises or buildings, or agreed to
by the terms of this lease, due to any accident, the making of repairs,
alterations or improvements, labor difficulties, weather conditions, mechanical
breakdowns, trouble or scarcity in obtaining fuel, electricity, service or

building, or any cause beyond LESSOR's immediate control.

and at the sole risk of LESSEE, to remove and store any such property at
LESSEE's expense, or to retain same under LESSOR's control, or to sell at public

on the base rent set forth in Section 1 for the period January 1, 1994
through October 31, 1994 within ten (10) days following notice from LESSOR
of any such adjustment.
C. Notwithstanding the commencement date herein, the parties acknowledge that
the leased premises will not be available for LESSEE's occupancy until
after the commencement date. Notwithstanding the delay in delivery of the
leased premises, LESSEE's obligation to pay rent in full accordance with
Section 1 shall commence November 1, 1993.
D. * Provided LESSEE is not then in default of this lease or in arrears of
any rent or invoice payment, LESSEE shall have the right to extend this
lease, including all terms, conditions, escalations, etc., for one
additional period of five (5) years ("the extended lease term") by serving
LESSOR with written notice of its desire to so extend the lease. The time
for serving such written notice shall be not more than twelve (12) months
or less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial lease
term. Time is of the essence.
E. Rent during the extended lease term shall be paid in full accordance with
Section 1, including all "Cost of Living" adjustments.
F. With respect to Section 8, LESSOR shall perform its maintenance and
repairs with duly qualified contractors, which will be deemed to include
LESSOR's employees.
G. With respect to Section 9, if the cost of any non-structural alteration
does not, in an individual situation, exceed $10,000.00, LESSOR's consent
shall not be required provided said alteration conforms with LESSOR's
construction specifications.
H. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10, LESSEE may, without the
requirement of obtaining LESSOR's consent but upon written notice to
LESSOR, assign this lease or sublease all or any portion of the leased
premises to any entity which is the parent of LESSEE, a majority-owned
subsidiary of LESSEE, an entity under common control with LESSEE or any
entity with which LESSEE may merge or consolidate or to which LESSEE may
sell all or substantially all of its assets as a going concern, including,
without limitation, any joint venture of which LESSEE is a partner.
I. LESSOR represents that the leased premises are not presently encumbered by
any mortgage of record.
J. * LESSEE's agreement to subordinate this lease to any and all mortgages
and/or other instruments in the nature of a mortgage, now or at any time
hereafter, is conditional upon the mortgagee's agreement that LESSEE's
possession will not thereafter be disturbed so long as LESSEE is not in
default in the payment of rent or other covenants or obligations thereof.
K. Notwithstanding any terms or provisions of this lease to the contrary, in
the event the leased premises shall lack any services (including repairs)
required to be provided by LESSOR hereunder for any cause within LESSOR's
reasonable control and such lack of service shall continue for seven (7)
consecutive days, and LESSEE shall be unable to use any material portion
of the leased premises on account thereof, thereafter there shall be a
proportionate abatement of the rent and additional rent hereunder,
according to the extent of such loss of use, until such service shall
resume.
L. If LESSOR elects to accelerate the rent on account of a substantial breach
of the lease and full liquidated damages are paid by LESSEE pursuant to
Section 19 of the lease, then the lease will terminate without further
recourse by the parties for any further rent due.
M.(1) During the initial term of this lease (only), LESSEE shall have a
continuing right (the "Option Right") to lease space contiguous to the
leased premises (the "Contiguous Space") (it being agreed that the
Contiguous Space shall include all space contiguous to the leased premises
on the same floor as the leased premises and all space contiguous to the
leased premises on the floors immediately above and immediately below the
leased premises, all as shown on the attached plan marked as Exhibit A) in
the building of which the leased premises are a part as such space becomes
available for leasing directly from LESSOR, subject to the rights of
lessees of such space to extend or otherwise renegotiate their leases.
LESSOR shall notify LESSEE of the availability of any Contiguous Space
within a reasonable time after the same becomes available for leasing
directly from LESSOR. LESSEE shall have seven (7) days from receipt of
each notice from LESSOR regarding the availability of such space to
execute an amendment to this lease in order to add such additional space
to the leased premises hereunder at the base rent set forth below. LESSEE
may extend said seven-day period for an additional seven days (only) by
serving LESSOR with written notice to that effect prior to the end of the
initial seven-day period.
(2) If, after receiving notice of the availability of such space from LESSOR,
LESSEE does not elect to lease such space and LESSOR does not lease such
space to others within the nine (9) month period after LESSOR's notice to
LESSEE that such space is available for leasing, then LESSOR shall
renotify LESSEE of the availability of such space upon the expiration of
such nine (9) month period whereupon LESSEE's rights to lease such space
set forth above shall be revived, it being agreed that such obligation to
notify LESSEE of the availability of such space shall be renewed every
nine (9) month period thereafter unless and until such space is leased to
others. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the first nine (9) month period
of the lease term from November 1, 1993 through July 31, 1994, the Option
Right shall not apply to any portion of the Contiguous Space that is both
presently vacant and
available for leasing directly by LESSOR to others until after such space
is next leased to others.
(3) If at any time during the initial lease term, LESSEE elects to lease any
portion of the Contiguous Space, LESSEE shall be entitled to lease it at
the following base rent: (i) if the space is unimproved, LESSEE shall have
the right to lease the Contiguous Space at the same base rent set forth
for the leased premises in Section 1 of this lease; or (ii) if the space
is finished (i.e., it has been improved with tenant improvements), the
base rent shall be an average of the base rent agreed to by LESSOR in the
last three (3) lease transactions entered into by LESSOR immediately prior
to LESSOR's then current notice to LESSEE of the availability of the
Contiguous Space, it being agreed, however, that the lease transactions
that are used to calculate such average must be for space that is
similarly improved to that of the finished Contiguous Space then available
for leasing by LESSEE.
N. Commencing November 1, 1993, and continuing during the initial lease term
(only), in consideration for the Option Right, LESSEE shall be obligated
to pay to LESSOR on an annual basis a fee (the "Option Fee") of $10,000,
payable quarterly in advance in equal installments on the first day of
each November, February, May and August, except that the first quarterly
installment shall be due upon LESSEE's execution of this lease. LESSEE's
failure to pay any installment within ten (10) days of its due date
automatically void the Option Right without the requirement of any notice
from LESSOR.
0. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Paragraph M above, LESSEE
shall have the right, exercisable at any time during the initial lease
term, to revoke the Option Right by written notice (the "Revocation
Notice") to LESSOR, whereupon as of the end of the next full paid quarter
following LESSOR's receipt of the Revocation Notice, LESSEE shall no
longer have the Option Right and shall no longer have any obligation to
pay the Option Fee.
P. Nothwithstanding the provisions of Section 26, LESSEE may remove the
following items supplied by LESSEE prior to the termination date of the
lease provided LESSEE has satisfactorily complied with all other
conditions of this lease, is not in default of the lease or in arrears of
any rent or invoice payments, repairs any and all damage resulting from
such removal and otherwise restores the leased premises to its condition
prior to installation of said items:
(1) Hoods, including cabinets and integral countertop below;
(2) Acid Neutralization System (entire system only);
(3) Cold Room
(4) Vacuum Pump
(5) Air Compressor
(6) DI Water System (entire system only)
(7) Emergency Generator (including transfer switch)
Q. The leased premises consist of 14,440 square feet (including 9.6% common
area) at Suite 3000 and 1,000 square feet including 9.6% common area) at
Suite G600.

terminate the lease without recourse to the parties, except that upon such
termination LESSOR shall return to LESSEE (a) any unused portion of the
