months commencing at noon on March 1, 1997 and ending at noon on July 30, 2001

1. RENT. LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR base rent at the rate of two hundred fifty
three thousand four hundred sixty five (253,465.00) U.S. dollars per year,
payable in advance in monthly installments of $21,122.08 on the first day in
each calendar month in advance except as other-wise provided in the Rider to
Lease 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 1996, which figure shall be compared with the figure for
November 1996, 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 forty thousand (40,000.00) dollars (to which LESSEE's previous $2,500.00
deposit shall be applied) 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 continuing

beyond any applicable notice or grace period, 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 administrative offices, storage of supplies, administrative
materials and non-hazardous lab equipment.
4. ADDITIONAL RENT. LESSEE shall pay to LESSOR as additional rent a
proportionate share (based on square footage leased by LESSEE as compared with

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. 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, 1996 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.

proceeding shall be made or instituted with respect to LESSEE or LESSEE's
property; (b) LESSEE shall default in the observance of performance of any of
LESSEE'S covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, other than substantial
monetary payments as provided below, and such default shall not be corrected
within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof: or (c) LESSEE vacates the
leased premises without continuing to pay rent, then LESSOR shall have the right
thereafter, while such default continues and without demand or further notice to
reenter 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 the entire balance of rent which is due hereunder
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. 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. LESSEE shall pay LESSOR interest at the rate of twelve
percent (12%) per annum on any payment from LESSEE to LESSOR which is past due.

to the occupancy thereof shall be deemed duly served when left at the leased
premises addressed to LESSEE, or served by constable, or sent to the leased

covenants from the date upon which LESSEE takes possession except the obligation

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 LESSEE shall be liable to LESSOR for any
and-all loss, damages or expenses incurred by LESSOR, and all other terms of
this lease shall continue to apply except that rent shall be due in fully
monthly installments at a rate of one hundred fifty (150) 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.
23. 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

attached lease:
A. LESSOR, at an expense incorporated entirely into the base rent and at no
further cost to LESSEE, shall modify the leased premises according to a
mutually agreed upon plan attached hereto before or about the time LESSEE
takes possession of the leased premises. LESSEE acknowledges and agrees
that the materials and finishes to be incorporated into said modifications
are upgrades from LESSOR's building standard.
B. LESSEE agrees to accept approximately 6,296 square feet (including 10.65%
common area) of the leased premises, shown on the attached plan as
"Expansion Area," free of trash and debris and broom clean, but otherwise
strictly in "as is" condition. To the best of LESSOR's knowledge and
belief, all existing building systems providing water, sewer, sprinkler,
electrical, and HVAC services to the leased premises are in good working
order, condition and repair, and the floor slabs, load-bearing walls and
other structural members located in or serving the premises are free from
all materials defects.
C. If requested in writing to do so by LESSEE, LESSOR, at an expense
incorporated entirely into the base rent and at no further cost to LESSEE,
shall modify the Expansion Area in accordance with LESSOR's standard
construction specifications, using LESSOR's building standard materials
and an open office layout with perimeter offices, and as further shown on
a plan to be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
D. Notwithstanding monthly rent as provided in Section 1 herein, LESSEE may
deduct $3,659.55 per month from each monthly rental payment due from March

substantial completion of the modifications described in Paragraph C
above, provided LESSOR receives each such monthly payment via electronic

default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of rent or other
covenants or obligations hereof.
I. LESSEE shall reasonably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the premises for
the term hereof without hindrance or molestation from LESSOR, provided
LESSEE is not in arrears beyond any applicable grace period of any rent or
invoice payment and is in full compliance with all terms, conditions and
obligations provided herein.

consent from LESSOR, provided LESSEE os notifies LESSOR in writing to that
effect on a timely basis. The provisions of Section 11 shall govern said

in writing for the financing of LESSEE's business operations at the leased
premises.
