anything in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall the calculation of

Expenses for calendar year 1996.
(vii) "Rent" shall mean Base Rent (as defined below), Adjustment Rent
and any other sums or charges due by Tenant hereunder.
(viii) "Taxes" shall mean all taxes, assessments, betterments and

extent that such taxes, assessments and fees are paid or payable by Landlord to
the taxing authority or are reimbursed or reimbursable by Landlord to a third
party which has an interest in the Easement Land and which is obligated as
between Landlord and such third party to pay taxes, assessments and fees levied
upon the Easement Land) or the rents collected therefrom, by any governmental
entity based upon the ownership, leasing, renting or operation of the Building,
the Fee Land or the Easement Land, including all costs and expenses of
protesting any such taxes, assessments or fees. Taxes shall not include any net
income, capital stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or
inheritance taxes; provided, however, if at any time during the Term, a tax or
excise on income is levied or assessed by any governmental entity, in Lieu of or
as a substitute for, in whole or in part, real estate taxes or other ad valorem
----------
taxes, such tax shall constitute and be included in Taxes. In addition, Taxes
shall not include any and all taxes, assessments, betterments and fees levied
upon any buildings or improvements located on the Easement Land. For the
purposes of determining Taxes for any given year, the amount to be included for
such year (a) from special assessments payable in installments shall be the
amount of the installments (and any interest) due and payable during such year,

accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due and
payable in such year.
(ix) "Tenant's Proportionate Share" shall mean the percentage set
forth in Item 11 of the Schedule, which has been determined by dividing the
rentable square feet of floor area in the Premises by the rentable square feet
of floor area in the Building.
B. Components of Rent. Tenant agrees to pay the following amounts to
------------------
Landlord at the office of the Building or at such other place as Landlord
designates:
(i) Base rent ("Base Rent") to be paid in monthly installments in the
amount set forth in Item 10 of the Schedule in advance on or before the first
day of each month of the Term commencing with the Commencement Date. Landlord
acknowledges that Annual Base Rent includes Tenant's Proportionate Share of Base
Expenses and Tenant's Proportionate Share of Base Taxes.
(ii) Adjustment rent ("Adjustment Rent") in an amount equal to
Tenant's Proportionate Share of (a) the increase in Expenses for any calendar
year during the Term over the Base Expenses and (b) the increase in Taxes for
any calendar year during the Term over the Base Taxes. Notwithstanding anything
in this Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Adjustment Rent for calendar
year 1997 include any increase in the cost of providing electrical energy to the
Property during calendar year 1997 over the cost of providing electrical energy
to the Property during calendar year 1996 except to the extent that such
increase is due to any increase in the rates charged by the electric utility
company to Landlord for electrical energy furnished to the Property. Prior to
each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall estimate the amount of
Adjustment Rent due for such calendar year, and Tenant shall pay Landlord one-
twelfth of such estimate on the first day of each month during such calendar
year. Such estimate may be revised by Landlord whenever it obtains information
relevant to making such estimate more accurate. After the end of each calendar
year during the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a report (a "Report")
setting forth the actual Expenses and Taxes for such calendar year and a
statement of the amount of Adjustment Rent that Tenant has paid and is payable
for such year. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Report, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the amount of Adjustment Rent due for such calendar year
minus any payments of Adjustment Rent made by Tenant for such calendar year. If
Tenant's estimated payments of Adjustment Rent for any calendar year exceed the
amount of Adjustment Rent due Landlord for such calendar year, Landlord shall
apply such excess as a credit against Tenant's other obligations under this
Lease or promptly refund such excess to Tenant if the Term has already expired,
provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder, in either case without
interest to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant's estimated
payments of Adjustment Rent for any calendar year exceed the amount of
Adjustment Rent due Landlord for such calendar year by greater than ten percent
(10%), then Landlord shall pay Tenant interest on such excess at the annual rate
of the prime rate of The First National Bank of Boston. Any Report sent to
Tenant shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless, within ninety (90) days
after such Report is sent, Tenant shall send a notice to Landlord objecting to
all or any portion of such Report. If such objection is not resolved as between
the parties within thirty, (30) days thereafter, then Tenant shall have the
right to audit the books and records relating to the operation of the Property
for the calendar year to which such objected Report relates, provided Tenant
makes a request to conduct such audit within one hundred twenty (120) days after
such Report is sent to Tenant and provided such audit is performed within thirty
(30) days following such request. Such audit shall be performed at such time or
times during normal business hours as Landlord shall reasonably designate and
shall be performed by an independent certified public accounting firm selected
by mutual agreement of Tenant and Landlord. The determination of such
accounting firm shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Within
thirty (30) days following the determination of such accounting firm, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the amount of Adjustment Rent underpaid, if any, or
Landlord shall refund to Tenant the amount of Adjustment Rent overpaid, if any,
in either case without interest on such underpayment or overpayment.
C. Payment of Rent. The following provisions shall govern the payment of
---------------
Rent: (i) if this Lease commences or ends on a day other than the first day or
last day of a calendar month, respectively, the monthly installments of Rent for
the calendar month in which this Lease so begins or ends shall be prorated; (ii)
all Rent shall be paid to Landlord without offset or deduction, and the covenant
to pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease; (iii) if
during all or any portion of any calendar year during the Term the Building is
not at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied by tenants, Landlord shall make
an appropriate adjustment of Expenses for such calendar year to determine the
Expenses that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been
at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied by the tenants for the entire
calendar year and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the
Expenses for such calendar year; (iv) any sum due from Tenant to Landlord which
is not paid within thirty (30) days after the date due shall bear interest from
the date due until the date paid at the annual rate of the prime rate of The
First National Bank of Boston, plus four percent (4%), but in no event higher
than the maximum rate permitted by law (the "Default Rate"); and, in addition,
at Landlord's option, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge for any Rent
payment which is not paid within eight (8) business days after its due date
equal to five percent (5%) of such payment if, on at least one (1) occasion
within twelve (12) months prior to such due date, Tenant shall have failed to
pay any Rent payment within eight (8) business days after such payment's due
date; (v) in the event of the termination of this Lease prior to the
determination of any Adjustment Rent, Tenant's agreement to pay any such sums
and Landlord's obligation to refund any such sums (provided Tenant is not in
default hereunder) shall survive the termination of this Lease; (vi) no
adjustment to the Rent by virtue of the operation of the rent adjustment
provisions in this Lease shall result in the payment by Tenant in any year of
less than the Base Rent shown on the Schedule; (vii) Landlord may at any time
change the fiscal year of the Building; (viii) each amount owed to Landlord
under this Lease for which the date of payment is not expressly fixed shall be
due on the same date as the Rent listed on the statement showing such amount is
due; and (ix) if Landlord fails to give Tenant an estimate of Adjustment Rent
prior to the beginning of any calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay
Adjustment Rent at the rate for the previous calendar year until Landlord
delivers such estimate; and (x) if, after Tenant shall have made any payment of
Adjustment Rent to Landlord pursuant to Section 2.B of this Lease, Landlord
shall receive a refund of any portion of Taxes paid by Tenant with respect to
any Tax period during the Term of this Lease as a result of abatement of such
Taxes, by legal proceedings, settlement, or otherwise, Landlord shall credit to
Tenant Tenant's Proportionate Share of such refund (less the proportional pro
rata reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and appraisers'
fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining such refund) as it
relates to Taxes paid by Tenant to Landlord with respect to any such period for
which a refund is obtained, or, if no further Rent is due hereunder from Tenant
to Landlord, pay such amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of
such refund.
3. USE. Tenant agrees that it shall occupy and use the Premises only as
general business offices and for setting up, adjusting, repairing and operating
computer, telecommunications and related equipment and software and for no other
purposes. Tenant shall comply with all federal, state and local laws,
ordinances and regulations and all covenants, conditions and restrictions of
record applicable to Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. Without
limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall not cause, nor permit. any hazardous or
toxic substances to be brought upon, produced, stored, used, discharged or
disposed of in, on or about the Premises without the prior written consent of
Landlord and then only in compliance with all applicable environmental laws.
4. CONDITION OF PREMISES. Tenant's taking possession of the Premises
shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises were in good order and
satisfactory condition when Tenant took possession, except as otherwise provided
in Exhibit "E" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. No
agreement of Landlord to alter, remodel, decorate, clean or improve the Premises
or the Building (or to provide Tenant with any credit or allowance for the
same), and no representation
regarding the condition of the Premises or the Building, have been made by or on
behalf of Landlord or relied upon by Tenant, except as otherwise provided in
Exhibit "E" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
5. UTILITIES AND OTHER SERVICES
A. Utilities and Services Furnished by Landlord. Landlord agrees to
--------------------------------------------
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises, the utilities and services
described in Exhibit "C" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference (hereinafter referred to collectively as "Landlord's Services"),
subject to the conditions and in accordance with the standards set forth in this
Section 5 and in Exhibit "C". All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with furnishing Landlord's Services shall be included as part of
Expenses pursuant to Section 2 hereof except for the cost of furnishing
electrical energy (for lights, plugs, heat pumps and air handlers) to the
Premises. With respect to such electrical energy furnished to the Premises,
Tenant shall pay all of Landlord's charges for such electrical energy furnished
to the Premises during the Term, which charges shall be based on meter readings
from separate meters for each separate floor within the Premises.
B. Special and Additional Usage. Landlord may impose a reasonable charge
----------------------------
for any utilities and services, including without limitation, air conditioning,
electricity, and water, provided by Landlord by reason of: (i) any use of the
Premises at any time other than the hours set forth above or in Exhibit "C";
(ii) any use beyond what Landlord agrees herein or in Exhibit "C" to furnish; or
(iii) special electrical, cooling and ventilating needs created by Tenant's
telephone equipment, computers, electronic data processing equipment and other
similar equipment or uses. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide such
additional utilities or services (except for Non-Normal Business Hours heating
or air conditioning which shall be furnished as provided below). Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions of the last
sentence of this Section 5.B, Landlord shall furnish heating or air conditioning
to the Premises during times other than Normal Business Hours (as defined in
Exhibit C) provided that notice requesting such service is delivered to
Landlord's managing agent before noon on any business weekday when such service
is required for that evening and by noon of the immediately preceding business
weekday when such service is required for after 4:00 p.m. on a Saturday or a
Sunday or for any time on a holiday. Landlord's cost of supplying such
additional heating or air conditioning to the Premises shall be paid by Tenant
within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice therefor. Landlord hereby
acknowledges that the current charge for non-Normal Business Hours heating or
air conditioning is $40.00 per hour. Such charge is subject to commercially
reasonable increase from time to time by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 5.B to the contrary, Landlord shall furnish heat and air
conditioning in accordance with the requirements and conditions set forth in
Exhibit "C" attached hereto to the entire eleventh floor of Tower 3 of the
Building twenty-four hours per day, three hundred sixty-five days per year
during the Term at no additional cost to Tenant.
C. Cooperation: Payment of Charges: Approval of Special Equipment Usage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Tenant agrees to cooperate fully at all times with Landlord and to abide by all
reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the use
of the above utilities and services. Tenant agrees to pay any charge imposed by
Landlord pursuant to Section 5.B above within thirty (30) days of receipt by
Tenant of an invoice therefor. Any failure to pay any such charge for additional
utilities or services shall constitute a breach of the obligation to pay Rent
under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights herein granted for
such breach and shall entitle Landlord to immediately discontinue providing such
additional utility or service. Tenant's use of electricity shall at no time
exceed the capacity of the service to the Premises or the electrical risers or
wiring installation.
D. Failure, Stoppage or Interruption of Service: No Release from
-------------------------------------------------------------
Obligations. Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be
-----------
entitled to any abatement or reduction of Rent by reason of, Landlord's failure
to furnish any of the foregoing services when such failure is caused by
accident, breakage, repairs, riots, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbance
or labor dispute of any character, Governmental regulation, moratorium or other
Governmental action, inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain
electricity, water or fuel, or by any other cause beyond Landlord's immediate
control or for stoppages or interruptions of any such services for the purpose
of making necessary repairs or improvements. Failure, stoppage or interruption
of any such service shall not be construed as an actual or constructive eviction
or as a partial eviction against Tenant, or release Tenant from the prompt and
punctual performance by Tenant of the covenants contained herein or operate to
xxxxx Rent.
E. Limitation and Unavailability of Service. Anything hereinabove to the
----------------------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord's obligation
to furnish heat, electricity, air conditioning and/or water to the Premises
shall be subject to and limited by all laws, rules, and regulations of any
governmental authority affecting the supply, distribution, availability,
conservation or consumption of energy, including, but not limited to, heat,
electricity, gas, oil and/or water. Landlord shall abide by all such
governmental laws, rules and regulations and, in so doing, Landlord shall not be
in default in any manner whatsoever under the terms of this Lease, and
Landlord's compliance therewith shall not affect in any manner whatsoever
Tenant's obligation to pay the full Rent set forth in this Lease.
F. Load Bearing Capacity. Except as may otherwise be permitted by
---------------------
Landlord pursuant to Section 30 below, Tenant shall not place a load upon any
floor of the Premises which exceeds 100 pounds per square foot "live load."
Landlord reserves the right to prescribe in a reasonable manner the weight and
position of all safes and heavy installations which Tenant wishes to place in
the Premises so as to properly distribute the weight thereof.
G. Unreasonable Noise or Vibration. Business machines and mechanical
-------------------------------
equipment belonging to Tenant which cause unreasonable noise or vibration that
may be transmitted to the structure of the Building or to any leased space to
such a degree as to be objectionable to Landlord or to any tenants in the
Building shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, on
vibration eliminators or other devices sufficient to eliminate such unreasonable
noise or vibration.
H. Telephone. Subject to applicable codes, Landlord has or will cause to
---------
be installed telephone risers (collectively the "risers") from the outside of
the Building to the telephone room (the "telephone room") serving the Premises.
Tenant shall have the right to use the risers by installing telephone lines (the
"telephone lines") from the Premises to the telephone room if and to the extent
such telephone lines are not now in place. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Lease, Tenant shall be permitted access to the telephone room at
reasonable times after reasonable prior notice to Landlord for the purpose of
ensuring proper installation, maintenance and operation of the telephone lines
and related equipment. Landlord makes no representations or warranties with
respect to the capacity, suitability or design of the risers, the telephone room
or the telephone lines. If there is more than one tenant on a floor, Landlord
shall allocate hookups to the telephone room based on the proportion of rentable
square feet that each tenant occupies on the floor. The installation and hook-
up of telephone lines by Tenant shall be subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section 9 of this
Lease. Except to the extent that any damage to property is due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its property manager or their
respective agents and employees, Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant
waives all claims with respect to, any damages or losses sustained by Tenant or
by any occupant of the Premises, including, without limitation, any
compensatory, property or consequential damages, resulting from the operation or
maintenance of the risers, telephone rooms and telephone lines, including,
without limitation, (i) any damage to Tenant's telephone lines, telephones or
other equipment connected to the telephone lines, or (ii) interruption or
failure of, or interference with, telephone or other service coming through the
telephone lines to the Premises. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease, including, without limitation, Section 9 of this Lease, Tenant may, at
its sole cost and expense, install additional telephone risers, access paths,
telephone lines and related equipment to serve the Premises.
6. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall observe and comply and shall
cause its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents to
observe and comply, with the rules and regulations listed on Exhibit "D"
attached hereto and incorporated herein and with such reasonable modifications
and additions thereto as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord shall
not be liable for failure of any person to obey such rules and regulations.
Landlord shall not be obligated to enforce such rules and regulations against
any person and the failure of Landlord to enforce any such rules and regulations
shall not constitute a waiver thereof or relieve Tenant from compliance
therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not enforce such rules
and regulations against Tenant in a discriminatory manner. If there be any
conflicts between any rules and regulations and any other provisions of this
Lease, such other provisions of this Lease shall govern.
7. CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the following
rights, each of which Landlord may exercise without notice to Tenant and without
liability to Tenant, and the exercise of any such rights shall not be deemed to
constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the
Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for set-off or abatement of rent
or any other claim: (a) to change the name or street address of the Building or
the suite number of the Premises; (b) to install, affix and maintain any and all
signs on the exterior or interior of the Building; (c) to make repairs,
decorations, alterations, additions, or improvements, whether structural or
otherwise, in and about the Building, and for such purposes (upon reasonable
prior notice to Tenant except in the event of an emergency) to enter upon the
Premises, temporarily close doors, corridors and other areas in the Building and
interrupt or temporary suspend services or use of common areas, and Tenant
agrees to pay Landlord for overtime and similar expenses incurred if such work
is done other than during ordinary business hours at Tenant's request; (d) to
retain at all times, and to use in appropriate instances, keys to all doors
within and into the Premises; (e) to show or inspect the Premises at reasonable
times and upon reasonable prior notice and, if vacated or abandoned, to prepare
the Premises for reoccupancy; (f) to install, use and maintain in and through
the Premises, pipes, conduits, wires and ducts serving the Building, provided
that such installation, use and maintenance does not unreasonably interfere with
Tenant's use of the Premises; and (g) to take any other action which Landlord
deems reasonable in connection with the operation, maintenance or preservation
of the Building. Landlord agrees that, in exercising any rights reserved to
Landlord in this Section 7 or elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant's access to or
permitted use of the Premises.
8. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain and
keep the Premises in good order and repair at all times during the Term. In
addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of any repairs to the
Building necessitated by the acts or omissions of Tenant, its subtenants,
assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents, to the extent Landlord
is not reimbursed for such costs under its insurance policies. Landlord may
perform any maintenance or make any repairs to the Building as Landlord shall
desire or deem necessary for the safety, operation or preservation of the
Building, or as Landlord may be required or requested to do by any governmental
authority or by the order or decree of any court or by any other proper
authority.
Landlord, throughout the Term, shall keep and maintain or cause to be kept
and maintained the structural components of the Building (including, without
limitation, the roof and the roof membrane and
the windows), all common areas of the Property, and all Building systems
(excluding only those non-standard portions of Building systems which are (a)
located within a tenant's premises and (b) service only such tenant's premises
and (c) are required by the terms of such tenant's lease to be maintained by
such Tenant) in good order and repair (consistent with that of other first class
office buildings in the Route 3/Route 495 submarket) and shall make all
necessary repairs thereto. Landlord shall also make all repairs, replacements,
additions, alterations and improvements to the Building (including the Premises)
and the common areas of the Property which are required by any law, statute,
code. ordinance, by-law, order, judgment, decree, rule or regulation of any
governmental authority except such of the foregoing as are required because of a
specific nongeneral business office use made of the Premises by Tenant
hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the cost of all such
repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements shall be borne by
Landlord and shall be included as part of Expenses.
9. ALTERATIONS.
A. Requirements. Tenant shall not make any replacement, alteration,
------------
improvement or addition to or removal from the Premises (collectively an
"alteration") without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Tenant proposes to make
any alteration, Tenant shall, prior to commencing such alteration, submit to
Landlord for prior written approval: (i) detailed plans and specifications; (ii)
the names and,addresses for all contractors; (iii) all necessary permits
evidencing compliance with all applicable governmental rules, regulations and
requirements; certificates of insurance in form and amounts required by
Landlord, naming Landlord and any other parties designated by Landlord as
additional insureds; and (v) all other documents and information as Landlord may
reasonably request in connection with such alteration. Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord for any reasonable and necessary (meaning that Landlord at
the time did not have on staff a person with the appropriate training and
experience to review such items and as such had to have a third party so review
such items) third party charges incurred by Landlord in connection with the
review of any such items. Neither approval of the plans and specifications nor
supervision of the alteration by Landlord shall constitute a representation or
warranty by Landlord as to the accuracy, adequacy, sufficiency or propriety of
such plans and specifications or the quality of workmanship or the compliance of
such alteration with applicable law. Tenant shall pay the entire cost of the
alteration. Each alteration shall be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner, in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord,
and shall meet or exceed the standards for construction and quality of materials
established by Landlord for the Building. In addition, each alteration shall be
performed in compliance with all applicable governmental and insurance company
laws, regulations and requirements. Each alteration shall be performed by
Tenant's contractors in harmony with Landlord's employees, contractors and other
tenants. The selection of the contractor(s) to perform any alteration shall be
subject to Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Each alteration, whether temporary or permanent in
character, made by Landlord or Tenant in or upon the Premises (excepting only
Tenant's furniture, equipment and trade fixtures) shall become Landlord's
property and shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or termination of
this Lease without compensation to Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord
shall have the right to require Tenant to remove such alteration at Tenant's
sole cost and expense in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of this
Lease so long as Landlord has specified such alteration (or any portion thereof)
for such removal at the time of Landlord's approval of the plans and
specifications depicting such alteration.
Tenant acknowledges that the Premises may constitute a place of public
accommodation or a commercial facility under Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and that the ADA is applicable to both an owner and
a lessee of a place of public accommodation or commercial facility. Tenant
further acknowledges that under the ADA any structural alteration to the
Premises must comply
with accessibility standards set forth in the rules promulgated by the
Department of Justice at 28 C.F.R. 36.101 et. seq. Notwithstanding anything in
this Lease to the contrary, in the event Tenant makes any structural alteration
to the Premises which would require compliance with Title III of the ADA and the
accessibility standards promulgated by the Department of Justice. Tenant agrees
to design and build such structural alterations so as to comply with the ADA and
the accessibility standards. Landlord shall be responsible for any and an
alterations to the Building outside of the Premises required to comply with the
ADA and the accessibility standards. Nothing contained herein shall be construed
to modify the requirement that any alteration to the Premises must have the
prior written approval of Landlord, and such approval, if given, shall not be
construed to be a waiver by Landlord of Tenant's obligations and agreements as
set forth in this Section 9.
B. Liens. Upon completion of any alteration, Tenant shall promptly
-----
furnish Landlord with sworn owner's and contractors statements and full and
final waivers of lien covering all labor and materials included in such
alteration. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's lien to be filed against the
Building, or any part thereof, arising out of any alteration performed, or
alleged to have been performed, by or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien is
filed, Tenant shall within ten (10) days thereafter have such lien released of
record or deliver to Landlord a bond in form, amount, and issued by a surety
satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord against all costs and
liabilities resulting from such lien and the foreclosure or attempted
foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to have such lien so released or to
deliver such bond to Landlord, Landlord, without investigating the validity of
such lien, may pay or discharge the same; and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord's reasonable
expenses and attorneys' fees.
10. INSURANCE
A. Tenant's Insurance. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain at all
------------------
times during the Term the following insurance policies: (a) fire insurance,
including extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage
and water damage coverage and demolition and debris removal, insuring the full
replacement cost of all improvements, alterations or additions to the Premises
made at Tenant's expense, and all other property owned or used by Tenant and
located in the Premises; (b) commercial general liability insurance, contractual
liability insurance and property damage insurance with respect to the Building
and the Premises, with limits to be set by Landlord from time to time but in any
event not less than $3,000,000.00 combined single limit for personal injury,
sickness or death or for damage to or destruction of property for any one
occurrence; and (c) insurance against such other risks and in such other amounts
as Landlord may from time to time reasonably require (provided that such
insurance and/or such amounts are commercially reasonable for commercial
properties similar to the Building). The form of all such policies and
deductibles thereunder shall be subject to Landlord's prior reasonable approval.
All such policies shall be issued by insurers reasonably acceptable to Landlord
and licensed to do business in the State in which the Premises are located and
shall contain a waiver of any rights of subrogation thereunder. In addition,
the policies shall name Landlord and any other parties designated by Landlord as
additional insureds, shall require at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Landlord and such other parties designated by Landlord of termination
or modification and shall be primary and not contributory. Tenant shall at
least fifteen (15) days prior to the Commencement Date, and within fifteen (15)
days prior to the expiration of each such policy, deliver to Landlord
certificates evidencing the foregoing insurance or renewal thereof, as the case
may be.
B. Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall take out and maintain in force
--------------------
throughout the Term, in a company or companies authorized to do business in
Massachusetts, (i) casualty insurance on the Building in an amount equal to the
full replacement value of the Building (exclusive of foundations), covering all
risks of direct physical loss or damage and so-called "extended coverage" risks
and (ii)
commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Building in such
amounts as Landlord may from time to time deem necessary or desirable (but in no
event less than $3,000,000.00 combined single limit for personal injury,
sickness or death or for damage to or destruction of property for any one
occurrence). This insurance may be maintained in the form of a blanket policy
covering the Building as well as other properties owned by Landlord so long as
the blanket policy does not reduce the limits nor diminish the coverage required
herein.
II. WAIVER AND INDEMNITY
A. Waiver. Except to the extent that any damage or injury to person or
------
property is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
property manager or their respective agents and employees, Tenant releases
Landlord, its property manager and their respective agents and employees from,
and waives all claims for, damage or injury to person or property and loss of
business sustained by Tenant and resulting from the Building or the Premises or
any part thereof or any equipment therein becoming in disrepair, or resulting
from any accident in or about the Building. This paragraph shall apply
particularly, but not exclusively, to flooding, damage caused by Building
equipment and apparatus, water, snow, frost, steam, excessive heat or cold,
broken glass, sewage, gas, odors, excessive noise or vibration or the bursting
or leaking of pipes, plumbing fixtures or sprinkler devices. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Tenant waives all claims and rights of recovery
against Landlord, its property manager and their respective agents and employees
for any loss or damage to any property of Tenant, which loss or damage is
insured against, or required to be insured against, by Tenant pursuant to
Section 11 above, regardless of the amount of insurance proceeds collected or
collectible under any insurance policies in effect.
B. Indemnity. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful
---------
misconduct of Landlord, its property manager and/or their respective agents and
employees, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its
property manager and their respective agents and employees, from and against any
and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), for injuries to any persons and damage
to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the
Building and arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises or from any
activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the
Premises (including, without limitation, any alteration by Tenant) or from any
breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant or
agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed under this Lease or due to any
other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees,
contractors and agents. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall indemnify,
defend and hold Landlord harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages, costs
and expenses arising out of the use or storage of hazardous or toxic materials
in the Building by Tenant. If any such proceeding is filed against Landlord or
any such indemnified party, Tenant agrees to defend Landlord or such party in
such proceeding at Tenant's sole cost by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord, if requested by Landlord.
12. FIRE AND CASUALTY
A. Obligation to Repair or Rebuild the Premises or the Building shall be
-------------------------------
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of any damage or destruction to the Premises which Tenant has knowledge
or is aware of, and Landlord, subject to its mortgagee's consent and to the
conditions set forth in this Section 12, shall repair, rebuild or replace such
damage and restore the Premises and/or the Building, subject to Section 12.D and
Section 12.F below, to substantially the same condition in which they were
immediately prior to such damage or destruction; provided, however, that
Landlord shall only be obligated to restore such damage which is covered by the
casualty
insurance on the Building required to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to
Section 10.B above, whether or not such insurance is actually maintained by
Landlord.
B. Commencement and Completion of Work. The work shall be commenced
-----------------------------------
promptly and completed with due diligence, taking into account the time required
by Landlord to effect a settlement with, and procure insurance proceeds from,
the insurer, and for delays beyond Landlord's reasonable control.
C. Application of Proceeds. The amount of any insurance proceeds
-----------------------
(excluding proceeds received pursuant to any rental interruption coverage
obtained by Landlord) recovered by reason of the damage or destruction of the
Building in excess of the cost of adjusting the insurance claim and collecting
the insurance proceeds (such excess amount being hereinafter called the "net
insurance proceeds") plus the amount of the applicable insurance deductible
shall be applied towards the reasonable cost of restoration. If the net
insurance proceeds are more than adequate to complete such restoration, the
amount by which the net insurance proceeds exceed the cost of restoration will
be retained by Landlord.
D. Tenant's Personal Property and Alterations. Landlord's obligation or
------------------------------------------
election to restore the Premises under this Section 12 shall not include the
repair, restoration or replacement of the furniture or any other personal
property owned by or in the possession of Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall
not be under any obligation to repair, restore or replace any alterations made
by or on behalf of Tenant, but shall be obligated to repair, restore or replace,
as appropriate, Landlord's Work (as defined in Exhibit "E" attached hereto and
incorporated herein).
E. Abatement of Rent. Tenant will receive an abatement of Rent to the
-----------------
extent and during the time the Premises are rendered unusable by Tenant for the
purposes described in Section 3 of this Lease due to fire or other casualty,
such Rent to xxxxx in such proportion as the part of the Premises thus destroyed
or rendered so unusable bears to the total Premises from the date of such damage
or destruction and until the earlier of (i) Landlord obtains a certificate of
occupancy with respect to completion of such repairs or (ii) Tenant recommences
use of such part of the Premises and, in cases in which the Premises are being
restored by Landlord, to be conditioned upon Tenant not occupying such part of
the Premises for the conduct of business. If the Premises are so slightly
damaged by such fire or other casualty as not to be rendered in any part so
unusable, Landlord shall make the repairs it deems necessary with reasonable
promptness and the payment of Rent shall not be affected thereby. Tenant shall,
at its own cost and expense, remove such of its furniture and furnishings and
other belongings from the Premises as Landlord shall require in order to repair
and restore the Premises.
F. Landlord's Option Not to Restore. Notwithstanding the foregoing
--------------------------------
provisions, if there is substantial destruction of the Building as the result of
a fire or other casualty, and if, in the judgment of Landlord's architect, any
damage resulting therefrom cannot be repaired and the Premises cannot be made
usable by Tenant for the purposes described in Section 3 of this Lease within
one hundred twenty (120) days of such fire or other casualty, then Landlord
shall have the option not to restore, and may elect to terminate this Lease by
sending, a written notice of such termination to Tenant, the notice to specify,
a termination date no less than sixty (60) days after its transmission provided,
however, Landlord may only so terminate this Lease if Landlord also terminates
the Leases of Tenants occupying in the aggregate fifty percent (50%) or more
(inclusive of the Premises) of the then occupied space in the Building
immediately prior to such fire or other casualty. Landlord shall notify Tenant
in writing within forty-five (45) days after the date of such fire or other
casualty of such architect's estimate of the period of time required to repair
and restore the Premises to a tenantable condition. If such period of time
exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall also have the right to
terminate this Lease by written notification to Landlord of such termination
within fifteen (15) days of delivery of Landlord's notice to Tenant.
G. Tenant's Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
---------------------------
contrary, if Landlord fails to make the Premises usable by Tenant for the
purposes described in Section 3 of this Lease within one hundred eighty (180)
days from the date of the fire or other casualty, then Tenant may terminate this
Lease by notice to Landlord at any time after the end of such one hundred eighty
(180) day period but prior to the date that the Premises are again made so
usable.
13. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or the Building is rendered unusable by
------------
Tenant for the purposes described in Section 3 of this Lease by reason of a
condemnation (or by a deed given in lieu thereof), then either party may
terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party
within thirty (30) days after such condemnation, in which event this Lease shall
terminate effective as of the date of such condemnation. If this Lease so
terminates, Rent shah be paid through and apportioned as of the date of such
condemnation. If such condemnation does not render the Premises or the Building
so unusable, this Lease shall continue in effect and Landlord shall promptly
restore the portion not condemned to the extent reasonably possible to the
condition existing prior to the condemnation. In such event, however, Landlord
shall not be required to expend an amount in excess of the proceeds received by
Landlord from the condemning, authority. Landlord reserves all rights to
compensation for any condemnation (except for any awards payable directly to
Tenant for relocation expenses and except for any award for alterations to the
Premises paid for by Tenant except to the extent any such award diminishes the
award payable to Landlord on account of any such condemnation). Tenant hereby
assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to such compensation (except as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence), and Tenant shall make no claim
against Landlord or the condemning authority for compensation (except as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence) for termination of Tenant's
leasehold interest under this Lease or interference with Tenant's business.
14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
A. Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not, without the prior written
------------------
consent of Landlord: (i) assign, convey, mortgage or otherwise transfer this
Lease or any interest hereunder, or sublease the Premises, or any part thereof,
whether voluntarily or by operation of law; or (ii) permit the use of the
Premises by any person other than Tenant and its employees and business
invitees. Any such transfer, sublease or use described in the preceding
sentence (a "Transfer") occurring without the prior written consent of Landlord
shall be void and of no effect. Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not
constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to withhold its consent to any future
Transfer. Landlord's consent to any Transfer or acceptance of rent from any
party other than Tenant shall not release Tenant from any covenant or obligation
under this Lease. Landlord may require as a condition to its consent to any
assignment of this Lease that the assignee execute an instrument in which such
assignee assumes the obligations of Tenant hereunder. For the purposes of this
paragraph, the merger, consolidation or reorganization of a corporate Tenant,
and the transfer of all or any general partnership interest in any partnership
Tenant and the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant shall be
considered a Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.A to the
contrary, Landlord consent shall not be required in connection with a Transfer
to an Affiliate (as defined below) provided that (a) the financial condition of
the Affiliate, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, is such that it will be
able to perform its obligations under this Lease, (b) proof satisfactory to
Landlord of such financial condition shall have been delivered to Landlord at
least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such Transfer, and (c) the
Affiliate agrees directly with Landlord, by written instrument satisfactory to
Landlord, to be bound by all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder. The term
"Affiliate" shall mean any entity which succeeds to Tenant's business by merger,
consolidation or other form of corporate reorganization or any entity which
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant or any entity
which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant.
B. Standards for Consent. If Tenant desires the consent of Landlord to a
---------------------
Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to
the proposed effective date of the Transfer, a written notice which includes
such information as Landlord may require about the proposed Transfer and the
transferee. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, in whole or in part,
pursuant to Section 14.C, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its
consent to any assignment or sublease. Landlord shall not be deemed to have
unreasonably withheld its consent if, in the judgment of Landlord: (i) the
transferee is of a character or engaged in a business which is not in keeping
with the standards or criteria used by Landlord in leasing the Building; (ii)
the financial condition of the transferee is such that it may not be able to
perform its obligations in connection with this Lease; (iii) the purpose for
which the transferee intends to use the Premises or portion thereof is in
violation of the terms of this Lease or the lease of any other tenant in the
Building; (iv) the transferee is a tenant of the Building (except if there is no
other space reasonably comparable to the Premises from the perspective of the
transferee available for lease by Landlord in the Building at the time that
Landlord receives the above-referenced notice from Tenant, in which event the
transferee may be a tenant of the Building); (v) the rent to be charged the
transferee is less than the then fair market rental value of comparable space in
the Building (which fair market rental value shall be deemed to be the rent set
forth in the most current lease by Landlord of comparable space in the
Building); or (vi) any other bases which Landlord reasonably deems appropriate.
If Landlord wrongfully withholds its consent to any Transfer, such wrongful
withholding shall not release Tenant from the prompt and punctual performance by
Tenant of the covenants contained herein or operate to xxxxx Rent and Tenant
shall have no right to terminate this Lease because of an such wrongful
withholding. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant may pursue any and all remedies
available to it at law or in equity in connection with any such wrongful
withholding. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
fifty percent (50%) of all rent and other consideration received by Tenant in
excess of the Rent paid by Tenant hereunder for the portion of the Premises so
transferred (after first deducting therefrom all reasonable costs incurred by
Tenant in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable legal,
brokerage, space planning and construction costs in connection therewith). Such
rent shall be paid as and when received by Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord any reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Landlord
in connection with any Transfer.
C. Recapture. If at any time during the Term Tenant desires to effect a
---------
Transfer with respect to all or any portion of the Premises (other than to an
Affiliate), before Tenant does so effect such Transfer, Tenant shall notify
Landlord of Tenant's desire to effect such Transfer (the "Proposed Transfer
Notice"). The Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain a description of the
portion of the Premises that Tenant desires to Transfer (such portion being
hereinafter referred to as the "Transfer Premises") and date that the proposed
Transfer will take effect. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this
Lease as to the Transfer Premises by giving notice of such termination to Tenant
at any time within thirty (30) days, after the date on which Landlord has
received the Proposed Transfer Notice.
If Landlord exercises such right to terminate, Landlord shall be entitled
to recover possession of, and Tenant shall surrender, the Transfer Premises
(with appropriate demising partitions erected at the expense of Tenant and with
appropriate submetering of utilities to be done at the expense of Tenant), on
the date specified in Landlord's notice of termination, which date shall in no
event be sooner than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after Tenant's receipt
of Landlord's notice of termination or (ii) the date that the proposed Transfer
was to take effect as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice. If Landlord
does not exercise such right to terminate with respect to such Transfer
Premises, then Landlord shall have no right to terminate the Lease with respect
to the Transfer Premises as provided herein for six (6) months after the earlier
of (i) receipt by Tenant from Landlord of a notice whereby Landlord waives its
right to terminate the Lease with respect to the Transfer Premises as provided
herein or (ii) the expiration of the thirty (30) day period referred to in the
preceding paragraph if during such thirty (30) day period Landlord fails to
respond to the Proposed Transfer Notice. During such six (6) month period
Tenant may
Transfer the entire Transfer Premises (but no other portion of the Premises)
only free of Landlord's right to terminate as provided above but subject to
Landlord's consent as provided in Sections 14.A and 14.B. If Tenant fails to
effect a Transfer of the Transfer Premises (to effect such a Transfer shall mean
that Tenant and a proposed transferee shall have both executed a binding
assignment, sublease or similar type of agreement for the lease of the Transfer
Premises) by the end of such six (6) month period, then Landlord's right to
terminate as provided herein shall once again apply to the Transfer Premises and
Tenant shall be obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section 14.C if
Tenant still desires or subsequently desires to effect a Transfer of the
Transfer Premises. If Landlord exercises its right to terminate as provided
herein (either following receipt of an initial Proposed Transfer Notice or a
subsequent Proposed Transfer Notice delivered after the end of the applicable
six (6) month period), Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease with
any party with which Tenant may have had any dealings with regard to a possible
Transfer to such party without incurring any liability to Tenant on account
thereof.
D. No Release. In no event shall any Transfer release or relieve Tenant
----------
from its obligations to fully observe or perform all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed (including
liability arising during any renewal term of this Lease or with respect to any
expansion space included in the Premises). It is agreed that the liabilities
and obligations of Tenant hereunder are enforceable either before,
simultaneously with or after proceeding against any assignee, sublessee or other
transferee of Tenant.
15. SURRENDER. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term or
Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall return the Premises
to Landlord in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by
taking or by fire or other casualty not caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors excepted. If
Landlord requires Tenant to remove any alterations pursuant to Section 9, then
such removal shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner; and upon such
removal Tenant shall restore the Premises to its condition prior to the
installation of such alterations. If Tenant does not remove such alterations
after request to do so by Landlord, Landlord may remove the same and restore the
Premises; and Tenant shall pay the cost of such removal and restoration to
Landlord upon demand. Tenant shall also remove its furniture, equipment, trade
fixtures and all other items of personal property from the Premises prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term or Tenant's right to possession of
the Premises. If Tenant does not remove such items, Tenant shall be
conclusively presumed to have conveyed the same to Landlord without further
payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant; or at Landlord's sole option such items
shall be deemed abandoned, in which event Landlord may cause such items to be
removed and disposed of at Tenant's expense, without notice to Tenant and
without obligation to compensate Tenant.
16. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
A. Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
-------
default (a "Default") by Tenant under this Lease:
(i) Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due and such failure is not
cured within five (5) business days after notice from Landlord;
(ii) Tenant falls to perform any other provision of this Lease and
such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days (or immediately if the failure
involves a hazardous condition) after notice from Landlord;
(iii) the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied upon or attached
under process of law;
(iv) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease dies or dissolves;
(v) any voluntary or involuntary proceedings are filed by or against
Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws and, in the case of any involuntary proceedings, are not dismissed
within sixty (60) days after filing;
(vi) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note (as defined
in the Tenant Improvement Work Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "E" and
incorporated herein by this reference); or
(vii) the occurrence of a default or breach of any of Tenant's
obligations, covenants and agreements under the Subordination Agreement (as
defined in the Tenant Improvement Work Agreement attached as Exhibit "E" and
incorporated herein by this reference).
B. Right of Re-Entry. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may
-----------------
elect to terminate this Lease, or, without terminating this Lease, terminate
Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, in either case by notice thereof
to Tenant. Upon any such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender and
vacate the Premises and deliver possession thereof to Landlord. Tenant grants
to Landlord the right, after any such termination, without notice to Tenant (but
in accordance with applicable laws), to enter and repossess the Premises and to
expel Tenant and any others who may be occupying the Premises and to remove any
and all property therefrom, without being deemed in any manner guilty of
trespass and without relinquishing Landlord's rights to Rent or any other right
given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.
C. Reletting. If Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession of the
---------
Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord may relet the Premises or any
part thereof. In such case, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the
Premises on such terms as Landlord shall reasonably deem appropriate; provided,
however, Landlord may first lease Landlord's other available space and shall not
be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any
instructions given by Tenant about such reletting. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the reasonable costs and expenses of reletting the Premises
including, but not Limited to, all brokerage, advertising, legal, alteration and
other expenses incurred to secure a new tenant for the Premises. In addition,
if the consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting, after
payment of the expenses of reletting the Premises which have not been reimbursed
by Tenant, is insufficient to pay monthly the full amount of the Rent and if
Landlord has not terminated this Lease pursuant to Section 16.D below, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of each monthly deficiency as it becomes
due. If such consideration is greater than the amount necessary to pay the full
amount of the Rent, the full amount of such excess shall be retained by Landlord
and shall in no event be payable to Tenant.
D. Termination of Lease. If Landlord terminates this Lease because of a
--------------------
Default, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on
demand, as and for liquidated and final damages, an accelerated lump sum amount
equal to the amount by which Landlord's estimate of the aggregate amount of Rent
owing from the date of such termination through the Expiration Date plus
Landlord's estimate of the aggregate reasonable expenses of reletting the
Premises, exceeds Landlord's estimate of the fair rental value of the Premises
for the same period (after deducting from such fair rental value the time needed
to relet the Premises and the amount of concessions which would normally be
given to a new tenant), both discounted to present value at the annual rate of
the prime rate of The First National Bank of Boston.
E. Other Remedies. Landlord may but shall not be obligated to perform
--------------
any obligation of Tenant under this Lease; and, if Landlord so elects, all costs
and expenses paid by Landlord in performing such obligation, together with
interest at the Default Rate, shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord on
demand. Any and all remedies set forth in this Lease: (i) shall be in addition
to any and all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, (ii) shall
be cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord
may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an
election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in
the future.
F. Bankruptcy. If Tenant becomes bankrupt, the bankruptcy trustee shall
----------
not have the right to assume or assign this Lease unless the trustee complies
with all requirements of the United States Bankruptcy Code; and Landlord
expressly reserves all of its rights, claims, and remedies thereunder.
G. Waiver of Trial by Jury. Landlord and Tenant waive trial by jury in
-----------------------
the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either Landlord
or Tenant against the other in connection with this Lease.
17. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term or Tenant's right to possession of
the Premises, Tenant shall pay Rent during the first two (2) months of any such
holding over at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Rent in effect
immediately preceding such holding over and during any subsequent period of such
holding over at two hundred percent (200%) of the Rent in effect immediately
preceding such holding over computed on a monthly basis for each month or
partial month that Tenant remains in possession. The provisions of this Section
do not waive Landlord's right of re-entry or right to regain possession by
actions at law or in equity or any other rights hereunder, and any receipt of
payment by Landlord shall not be deemed a consent by Landlord to Tenant's

subsequent to the date of such mortgage, deed of trust or lease. In such event,
Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever instruments may be required by such
mortgagee, beneficiary or lessor to confirm such superiority on the form
customarily used by such party. If Tenant fails to execute any instrument

fact, in Tenant's name, to execute such instrument.

26. OPTION TO EXTEND On the condition that Tenant is not in default of its
covenants and obligations under this Lease (beyond applicable notice and cure
periods) both at the time of option exercise and as of the commencement of the
hereinafter described additional term, Tenant shall have the option ("Tenant's
Extension Option") to extend the Term for an additional term of five (5) years
(herein referred to as the "Additional Term"), said Additional Term to commence
immediately after the expiration of the initial Term. If Tenant desires to
extend the Term as aforesaid, it shall give notice thereof (the "Extension
Notice") to Landlord no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than nine
(9) months prior to the end of the initial Term. If Tenant fails timely to give
such notice, then Tenant shall have no right to extend the Term (time being, of
the essence with respect to exercise of Tenant's Extension Option). Upon the
timely giving of such notice, the Term shall be deemed extended upon all of the
same terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the Base Rent during said
Additional Term shall be at the rate of 100% of the then current fair market
annual rent for five (5) year leases of comparable premises in comparable
buildings in the general vicinity of Building (with respect to age, quality and
location), as determined in accordance with the following paragraph (the
"Additional Term Base Rent"). The Additional Term Base Rent shall be payable in
equal monthly installments in advance on or before the first day of each
calendar month during the Additional Term. Notwithstanding the fact that
Tenant's exercise of the herein option to extend the Term shall be self-
executing, as aforesaid, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall promptly
execute a lease amendment reflecting said Additional Term and the Additional
Term Base Rent thereof after Tenant exercises the herein option. Upon the
commencement of the Additional Term, the word "Term" wherever it appears in this
Lease shall include the Additional Term.
Landlord shall notify Tenant of its food faith determination of the
Additional Term Base Rent within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Extension
Notice (the "Additional Term Rental Notice"). If Tenant does not accept
Landlord's determination of Additional Term Base Rent and if Landlord and Tenant
cannot agree on the Additional Term Base Rent within thirty (30) days after
Tenant's receipt of the Additional Term Rental Notice, then Landlord and Tenant
shall, not later than sixty (60) days after Landlord receives Tenant's Extension
Notice, each retain a real estate professional with at least ten (10) years'
continuous experience in the business of appraising marketing commercial real
estate in the Lowell, Massachusetts area who shall, within thirty (30) days of
his or her selection, prepare a written report summarizing his or her conclusion
as to the Additional Term Base Rent. Landlord and Tenant shall simultaneously
exchange such reports; provided, however, that if one (1) party has not obtained
-------- -------
such a report within ninety (90) days after Landlord receives Tenant's Extension
Notice, then the determination set forth in the other party's report shall be
final and binding upon the parties. If both parties receive reports within such
time and the lesser of the two (2) determinations is within ten (10%) percent of
the higher determination, then the average of these determinations shall be
deemed to be the Additional Term Base Rent. If these determinations differ by
more than ten (10%) percent, then Landlord and Tenant shall mutually select a
person with the qualifications stated above (for purposes of this Section 26,
the "Final Professional") to resolve the dispute as to the Additional Term Base
Rent. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the designation of the Final
Professional within thirty (30) days of the exchange of the first valuation
reports, either party may apply to the American Arbitration Association, the
Greater Boston Real Estate Board, or any successor thereto for the designation
of a Final Professional. Within ten (10) days of the selection of the Final
Professional, Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the Final Professional a
copy of their respective real estate professional's determination of the
Additional Term Base Rent. The Final Professional shall not perform his or her
own valuation but rather shall, within thirty (30) days after such submissions,
select the submission which is closest, to the determination of the Additional
Term Base Rent which the Final Professional would have made acting alone. The
Final Professional shall have notice of his or her selection to Landlord and
Tenant and such decision shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its real estate professional and
counsel, if any, in connection with any proceeding under this paragraph, and the
losing party shall pay the fees and expenses

upon the Premises or the Property, except with Landlord's prior written
approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Tower 3 of the Building, Tenant may beginning with the date which is six (6)
months after the Commencement Date, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. install
one (1) sign identifying Tenant on the exterior of Tower 3 of the Building on
the west side thereof. The specific location, size and design of such sign
shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any
and all necessary governmental approvals and permits for the installation of
such sign and may not commence such installation unless and until Tenant has
provided to Landlord a copy of all such approvals and permits. Throughout the
Term, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the maintenance and repair of such
sign. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord's charges for electrical energy
furnished for illumination of such sign. On or prior to expiration or earlier
termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall remove such sign from the
Building and shall repair any damage to the Building caused by the installation,
maintenance and/or removal of such sign. Landlord agrees that, during the
period which Tenant shall have the right to install and maintain such sign on

place on behalf of any other tenant of the Building any sign on the exterior of

28. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO LEASE. Tenant shall have the right to add to
the Premises, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 28, the
entire eighth floor of Tower 3 of the Building (the "Expansion Space").
Tenant's rights hereunder with respect to the Expansion Space shall be subject

Expansion Space, Landlord shall first offer to lease to Tenant such portion of
the Expansion Space in an "as is" condition; such offer shall be in writing and
shall specify the rent to be paid for such portion of the Expansion Space and
the date on which such portion of the Expansion Space shall be included in the
Premises (the "Offer Notice"). Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether
Tenant elects to lease such portion of the Expansion Space at the rental rate
set forth in the Offer Notice within ten (10) days after Landlord delivers to
Tenant the Offer Notice. If Tenant timely elects to lease such portion of the
Expansion Space, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this
Lease no later than fourteen (14) days after Tenant notifies Landlord of
Tenant's election to lease such portion of the Expansion Space, effective as of
the date such portion of the Expansion Space is to be included in the Premises,

portion of the Expansion Space in the Offer Notice, and (c) Landlord shall not
provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction

right hereunder, then such right shall lapse, time being of the essence with
respect to the exercise thereof, and, subject to the following three (3)
sentences, Landlord may lease such portion of the Expansion Space to third
parties on such terms as Landlord may elect. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, Landlord may not enter into such third party lease at a net
effective rent of less than ninety percent (90%) of the net effective rent set
forth in the most recent Offer Notice to Tenant without first offering to lease
to Tenant such portion of the Expansion Space at such net effective rent being
offering to such third party. As used in this Section 28, the phrase "net
effective rent" shall mean the Base Rent for such portion of the Expansion Space
less the cost of tenant improvements and other tenant inducements which are
included in such Base Rent. In addition, if Landlord fails to enter into any
such third party lease within six (6) months after Tenant has elected not to
lease such portion of the Expansion Space after receipt of an Offer Notice, then
such portion of the Expansion Space shall again be subject to Tenant's rights
under this Section 28. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord
shall have no obligation to first offer to lease to Tenant all or any portion of
the Expansion Space in accordance with this Section 28 111 at the time Landlord
would have sent to Tenant an Offer Notice, Tenant Is then In default of any of
its conditions or obligations under this Lease (beyond applicable notice and
cure periods). If Tenant is so then in default, Landlord may proceed to lease
all or any portion of the Expansion Space to any third party without Tenant
having any prior right's to lease all or any portion of the Expansion Space.

2. Tenant's Plans: On or before August 9, 1996, Tenant shall provide to
--------------
Landlord for its approval final working drawings, prepared by an architect that

withheld), of all improvements that Tenant proposes to have installed in the
Premises; such working drawings shall include the partition layout, ceiling
plan, electrical outlets and switches, telephone outlets, drawings for any
modifications to the mechanical and plumbing systems of the Building, and
detailed plans and specifications for the construction of the improvements
called for in this Agreement, in accordance with all applicable governmental
laws, codes, rules and regulations. Landlord shall approve or disapprove such
drawings within ten (10) business days of their receipt by Landlord. If
Landlord disapproves such working drawings, Landlord shall specify the reasons
for such disapproval in reasonable particularity, and Tenant shall make
conforming revisions thereto and resubmit such working drawings to Landlord for
re-review in accordance with the same procedure set forth above, except that
Landlord must complete its review and notify Tenant of its approval or
disapproval of such revised working drawings within five (5) business days of
their receipt by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant shall initial the working
drawings after the same have been finally approved by Landlord. If Landlord
falls to give Tenant notice as aforesaid either approving or disapproving
Tenant's initial working drawings or resubmitted working drawings within the
time periods specified above, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such
initial working drawings or resubmitted working drawings, as applicable.
Landlord's approval of Tenant's working drawings shall not be unreasonably
withheld, provided that (a) they comply with all applicable governmental laws,
codes, rules and regulations, (b) such working drawings are sufficiently
detailed to allow construction of the improvements in a good and workmanlike
manner, and (c) the improvements depicted thereon conform to the rules and
regulations promulgated by Landlord for the construction of tenant improvements
in the Building. As used herein, the phrase
"Tenant's Plans" shall mean the final working drawings approved by Landlord
pursuant to this Paragraph 2, as amended from time to time by any approved
changes thereto. As used herein, the phrase "Landlord's Work" shall mean the
work specified in Tenant's Plans. Approval by Landlord of Tenant's Plans shall
not be a representation or warranty of Landlord that Tenant's Plans are adequate
for any use, purpose, or condition, or that Tenant's Plans comply with any
applicable law or code, but shall merely be the consent of Landlord to Tenant's
Plans. All changes in Tenant's Plans must receive the prior written approval of
Landlord. Landlord shall pay the entire cost of preparation of Tenant's Plans
(such entire cost of preparation of Tenant's Plans plus the entire cost of
preparing any other plans and specifications and/or working drawings necessary
for the construction of Landlord's Work being hereinafter referred to as the
"Total Plans Cost").
3. Preparation of the Premises: (a) Landlord and Tenant have selected Xxxx
---------------------------
Xxxxxxxx and Associates (the "Contractor") as the contractor to construct
Landlord's Work. Promptly after Landlord's approval of Tenant's Plans, Landlord

Contractor and shall cause the Contractor to commence construction of Landlord's
Work and to diligently prosecute to completion the construction of Landlord's
Work so as to prepare the Premises for Tenant's Occupancy on or prior to
December 1, 1996, but Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for failure so
to complete Landlord's Work by such date, nor shall such failure affect the
validity of this Lease. Landlord's Work shall be performed in a good and
workmanlike manner. Landlord agrees not to enter into a construction contract
with a price in excess of $1,500,000.00 without the prior written consent of
Tenant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In
addition, Landlord agrees not to modify Landlord's Work without the prior
written consent of Tenant (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) if, as a result of such modification, there shall be an increase in the
Total Construction Cost (as defined below). Tenant shall have the right to
inspect the progress of Landlord's Work to determine if such work is being
performed in accordance with the requirements of the Lease and this Agreement.
Any entry by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be at the sole risk
of Tenant.
(b) As used herein, the phrase "Substantial Completion Date" shall mean the
first business day as of which (1) a Certificate of Occupancy has been obtained
from the City of Xxxxxx allowing Tenant to use the Premises for the purposes set
forth in Section 3 of the Lease, and (ii) Landlord's Work has been completed
except for minor items of work (and, if applicable, adjustment of equipment and
fixtures) which do not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises
for the purposes set forth in Section 3 of this Lease, and can be completed
after occupancy has been taken without causing undue interference with Tenant's
use of the Premises (i.e., so-called "Punch-List" items). The Contractor shall
complete as soon as conditions permit all "Punch-List" items, and Tenant shall
afford Landlord and the Contractor access to the Premises for such purposes.
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause all "Punch-List" items to be
completed within thirty (30) days after the Substantial Completion Date.
(c) Tenant agrees that Landlord may make any minor changes in Landlord's
Work, the necessity or advisability of which becomes apparent during the course
of the performance of Landlord's Work, so long as Tenant has provided prior
verbal approval therefor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and such changes do not adversely affect the quality or extent of
Landlord's Work. Any other changes in Landlord's Work shall not be made without
the written approval of Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
(d) The following are herein referred to collectively and individually as
"Tenant Delays": (i) failure by Tenant to provide to Landlord for Landlord's
approval final working drawings on or prior to August 9, 1996 as required in
Paragraph 2 of this Exhibit "E"; (ii) failure by Tenant to make conforming
revisions to the working drawing and resubmits same to Landlord for review
within the time period set
forth in Paragraph 2 of this Exhibit "E"; (iii) any failure by Tenant to consent
or any delay by Tenant in consenting to a construction contract if such consent
is required under Paragraph 3(a) of this Exhibit "E"; (iv) any delay by Tenant
in consenting to a modification to Landlord's Work if such consent is required
under Paragraph 3(a) of this Exhibit "E"; (v) any request by Tenant that
Landlord delay in the commencement or completion of Landlord's Work for any
reason; (vi) any change by Tenant in any of Tenant's Plans which cause a delay
in the commencement or completion of Landlord's Work; (vii) any other act or
omission of Tenant or its officers, agents, employees or contractors which
causes a delay in the commencement or completion of Landlord's Work; or (viii)
any delay which is the result of any "Force Majeure" condition as defined in
subparagraph (f) hereof in which delay would not have occurred but for a delay
referenced in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) of this
subparagraph (d).
(e) If, as a result of any delays other than Tenant's Delays and other than
any delays which are the result of any "Force Majeure" condition, the
Substantial Completion Date is delayed beyond December 1, 1996, then Tenant
shall have no obligation to pay Base Rent for the period from December 1, 1996
through the day prior to the Substantial Completion Date, provided that Tenant
has not commenced use of the Premises or any portion thereof prior to December
1, 1996. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of the preceding sentence to the
contrary, if, as a result of delays other than Tenant's Delays and other than
any delays which are the result of any "Force Majeure" condition, the
Substantial Completion Date is delayed beyond December 1, 1996 and Tenant
commences use of the Premises or any portion thereof prior to the Substantial
Completion Date, then Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent shall commence on the
date that Tenant commences use of the Premises or any portion thereof.
(f) "Force Majeure" condition shall be defined as any strike or other labor
trouble, fire, flood or other casualty, unusually severe weather, governmental
preemption of priorities or other controls in connection with a national or
other public emergency (or shortages of fuel, supplies or labor resulting
therefrom) or civil commotion, or any other cause whether similar or dissimilar
beyond Landlord's reasonable control.
4. Conclusiveness of Landlord's Performance: Except to the extent to
----------------------------------------
which Tenant shall have given Landlord notice not later than six (6) months from
the Substantial Completion Date of respects in which Landlord has not performed
Landlord's Work, Tenant shall have no claim that Landlord has failed to perform
any of Landlord's Work.
5. Cost of Landlord's Work: The total cost of construction of Landlord's
-----------------------
Work shall be paid by Landlord (such total cost of construction being
hereinafter referred to as the "Total Construction Cost"). Upon final
completion of Landlord's Work, Landlord shall certify to Tenant the Total Plans
Cost and the Total Construction Cost (hereinafter collectively referred to as
the "Total Cost"). To the extent that the Total Cost exceeds $1,500,000.00,
Tenant shall pay such excess (less any amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord in
accordance with the following provisions of this Paragraph 5) to Landlord, as
additional Rent under the Lease, not later than thirty (30) days after receipt
by Tenant of the certification referred to in the second sentence of this
Paragraph 5. Notwithstanding anything in this Exhibit "E" to the contrary, if
the price set forth in the Construction Contract exceeds $1,500,000.00, at
Landlord's option, Tenant shall make periodic payments to Landlord for the
excess between the price of the Construction Contract and $1,500,000.00 in
accordance with the following provisions. Such periodic payment shall be made
in connection with periodic payments made by Landlord to the Contractor under
the Construction Contract during the performance of Landlord's Work based upon
the ratio of the price of the Construction Contract in excess of $1,500,000.00
and the price of the Construction Contract. Such periodic payment shall be made
by Landlord to Tenant based upon such ratio within five (5) days after receipt
by Tenant of a copy of all documentation submitted by the Contractor to Landlord
in connection with periodic requisitions for pavement made by the Contractor
under the Construction Contract. For
example, if the price of the Construction Contract is $2,000,000.00 (and
therefore the excess of the price of the Construction Contract and $1,500,000.00
is $500,000.00), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord in connection with each
requisition for payment made by the Contractor twenty-five percent (25%) of the
amount of each such requisition (based upon the ratio of $500,000.00 to
$2,000,000.00).
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the first $1,500,000.00 of the Total
Cost pursuant to the terms of a certain Term Note of even date herewith from
Tenant to Landlord, a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Attachment
1 and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Note"). Simultaneously with
the execution and delivery of the Lease and this Agreement, Tenant shall execute
and deliver to Landlord the Note. Attached to this Agreement as Attachment 2
and incorporated herein by this reference is a certain Subordination Agreement
of even date herewith by and among Landlord, Tenant and Singapore
Telecommunications Limited (the "Subordination Agreement"). Simultaneously with
the execution and delivery of the Lease, this Agreement and the Note, Tenant
shall execute and deliver and shall cause Singapore Telecommunications Limited
to execute and deliver the Subordination Agreement.
6. Construction Management Fee: Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
---------------------------
construction management fee in the amount of four percent (4%) of the Total Hard
Construction Cost (as defined below). Fifty percent (50%) of such construction
management fee shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the
Commencement Date and the remainder of such construction management fee shall be
due and payable within thirty (30) days after the Substantial Completion Date.
"Total Hard Construction Cost" shall mean the Total Construction Cost less the
amount attributable to "General Conditions" under the Construction Contract.
Such construction management fee shall be deemed to be additional Rent under the
Lease. In acting as construction manager with respect to the performance of
Landlord's Work, Landlord shall perform the duties typically expected of a
construction manager, including, without limitation: (a) providing
administration of the Construction Contract; (b) using diligent efforts to
determine in general that the Landlord's Work is being performed in accordance
with the requirements of Tenant's Plans; (c) managing communications between the
Contractor and Tenant as needed to efficiently complete Landlord's Work; (d)
reviewing and processing requisitions for payment by the Contractor for progress
and final payment and certifying the amounts due; and (e) assisting in
establishing the "Punch-List" upon substantial completion of Landlord's Work.
7. Entry by Tenant: Interference With Construction: With the prior
-----------------------------------------------
consent of Landlord, Tenant may enter the Premises prior to the Commencement
Date to undertake such work as is to be performed by Tenant pursuant to this
Lease in order to prepare the Premises for Tenant's occupancy. Such entry shall
be at the sole risk of Tenant. In no event shall Tenant use any contractor if
Landlord reasonably determines that such contractor will cause a labor dispute
at the Property, or otherwise materially interfere with any construction work
being performed by or on behalf of Landlord in or around the Property. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall comply with all
reasonable instructions issued by Landlord relative to the moving of Tenant's
equipment and other property into the Premises and shall pay any actual fees or
costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. If noncompliance by Tenant
with any instructions issued by Landlord results in a work stoppage or other job
action by any employees of such contractors or subcontractors thereof performing
work at the Property, Tenant and its contractors shall cease construction of
such work.
9. Miscellaneous:
-------------
a. Definitions. The definitions set forth in the Lease shall apply
-----------
throughout this Agreement.
b. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for
--------
convenience only.

complete Landlord's Work in the time provided due to reasons beyond its
reasonable control, including, without limitation, strikes, natural disasters,

specifically excluding financial inability to perform).

---------------
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

TERM NOTE
---------
$1,500,000 As of August 2, 1996
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Fax International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, with a place of business at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000X,
Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000 (hereinafter referred to as the "Tenant"), promises to
pay to the order of Cross Point Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited
partnership (together with any subsequent holders of this Note, the "Landlord"),
at its office at 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 or at such other place
as the Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of
ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($1,500.000) or such lower amount as set forth in an amendment to this Note upon
a final determination of the Total Construction Cost (as defined in the Lease,
as defined below), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof
from time to time at a rate per annum equal to thirteen percent (13%) (the
"Stated Rate"). In the absence of demonstrable error, the books and records of
the Landlord shall constitute conclusive evidence of the unpaid principal
balance hereof from time to time.
1. Payments of principal and interest shall be made on the basis of a
seven (7) year amortization schedule. Such payments shall be made in monthly
installments of Twenty Seven Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Seven and 95/100
Dollars($27,287.95) due and payable on the first day of each month, provided
that the Tenant's first monthly payment of principal and interest hereunder
shall not be due and payable until the first payment of Monthly Base Rent (as
defined in the Lease) that is due and payable after the Substantial Completion
Date (as defined in the Lease). Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, interest on the unpaid balance hereof will not begin to accrue until
the Substantial Completion Date. If not sooner paid, all outstanding principal
and accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be paid to the Landlord on that
date which shall be eighteen (18) months after the Substantial Completion Date
(the "Maturity Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Tenant's option,
the Maturity Date may be extended for an additional six (6) months, provided
that (i) the Tenant gives the Landlord notice of the exercise of such option (an
"Option Notice") no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, and
(ii) at the time the Landlord receives the Option Notice there shall not exist a
Default under the Lease or an Event of Default hereunder.
2. This Note may be prepaid, in whole or from time to time in part, at any
time, without premium or penalty.
3. All payments hereunder shall be payable in lawful money of the United
States which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of
payment. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day), including any time extended by reason of Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays. All payments shall be applied first to any costs and
expenses of the Landlord due hereunder, then to interest due hereunder, and any
balance shall be applied in the manner as set forth above and the remainder
shall be applied in reduction of principal in the inverse order of maturities.
4. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Tenant shall not be
required to pay any amount pursuant hereto which is in excess of the maximum
amount permitted under applicable law. It is the intention of the parties
hereto to conform strictly to any applicable usury law, and it is agreed that if
any amount contracted for, chargeable or receivable under this Note shall exceed
the maximum amount permitted under any such law, any such excess shall be deemed
a mistake and cancelled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be
refunded to the Tenant or, at the Landlord's option, shall be applied as set
forth above.
5. It is expressly agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the
following shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder: (a) any failure to
pay any amount or installment of interest or of principal and interest on any
day whereon the same is payable as above expressed and such failure is not cured
within five (5) business days after notice from landlord; or (b) the occurrence
of a Default (as defined in Section 16 of the Lease). As used herein, the
"Lease" shall mean that certain Lease dated as of the date hereof by and between
Landlord and Tenant with respect to a portion of the building known and numbered
as 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx. If any such Event of Default
hereunder shall occur the Landlord may, at its option, declare to be immediately
due and payable the then outstanding principal balance under this Note, with all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts payable to the
Landlord hereunder, whereupon all such amounts shall become and be due and
payable immediately. The failure of the Landlord to exercise said option to
accelerate shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at
any other time.
6. In the event that any payment due hereunder shall not be paid within
eight (8) business days after its due date and if, on at least one (1) occasion
within twelve (12) months prior to such due date, Tenant shall have failed to
pay any payment due hereunder within eight (8) business days after its due date,
then the Tenant shall pay a late fee equal to five percent (5%) of such payment.
7. The Tenant will pay on demand all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by the Landlord in enforcing or
collecting any of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder. The Tenant agrees
that all such costs and expenses and all other expenditures by the Landlord on
account hereof, other than advances of principal, which are not reimbursed by
the Tenant immediately upon demand, all amounts due under this Note after
maturity, and any amounts due hereunder if an Event of Default shall occur
hereunder, shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Stated Rate plus
three percent (3%), but in no event more than the maximum rate of interest then
permitted by law (the "Default Rate"), until such expenditures are repaid or
this Note and such amounts as are due are paid to the Landlord.
8. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Note,
subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section 8. the Landlord
hereby subordinates all of its right, title and interest in and to all
obligations of the Tenant hereunder, together with any and all renewals and
modifications thereof (the "Subordinated Indebtedness"), whether in the ordinary
course of business or in any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, to
the right, title and interest of any holder (hereinafter a "Senior Creditor") of
bank indebtedness or asset financing indebtedness ("Senior Indebtedness") of
the Tenant. Accordingly, upon receipt of a notice from a Senior Creditor that
an event of default shall have occurred and is continuing under the documents
and instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness, the Landlord shall not have
the right to receive and the Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any amount to
the Landlord in respect of the Subordinated indebtedness until and unless the
event of default has been cured or waived in writing by the Senior Creditor or
shall otherwise no longer exist. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
or distribution of the assets of the Tenant of any kind or character, other than
distributions expressly permitted hereunder, shall be received, by set-off or
otherwise, by the Landlord in violation of the terms of this paragraph. the
Landlord shall promptly notify the Senior Creditor of any such payment or
distribution and shall deliver such payment or distribution, in the form
received, except for the addition of any required endorsement or assignment, to
the Senior Creditor for application in accordance herewith. Until so delivered,
any such payment or distribution shall be held by the Landlord in trust for the
Senior Creditor and shall not be commingled with other funds or property of the
Landlord. Upon the request of a Senior Creditor, the Landlord shall from time
to time make, execute and deliver any endorsements, assignments. proofs of
claim, pleadings, verifications, affidavits, consents, agreements or other
instruments or take any other action which the Senior Creditor may deem
reasonably necessary in order to effectuate the purposes of this paragraph.
9. All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be given in the manner and as required by the Lease.
10. All of the provisions of this Note shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Tenant and the Landlord and their respective successors and
assigns and the provisions of paragraph 8 hereof shall bind and inure to the
benefit of each Senior Creditor and their successors and assigns.

laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to choice of law
principles. Any action or suit in connection with this Note may be brought in a
court of record in Boston, Massachusetts, the Tenant, and, by accepting this
Note, the Landlord hereby irrevocably submitting and consenting to the non-

party by mailing a copy of the summons to such party, by registered mail, at its
address to be used for the giving of notices under this Note.

RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

merger to which the company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or
conveyance to another entity or entities of the property of the company as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any statutory
exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected
in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company), the Holder
shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant to acquire the kind and
amount of securities, cash or other property which it would have owned or have
been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation, merger, statutory
exchange, sale or conveyance had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior
to the effective date of such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or
conveyance and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be
made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 3 with
respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the
provisions set forth in this Section 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be made
applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock
or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of this
Warrant. The above provisions of this subsection (c) shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances.
Notice of any such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance
and of said provisions so proposed to be made, or of any liquidation or
dissolution of the Company, shall be mailed to the Holder not less than 30 days
prior to such event. A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company for a consideration consisting primarily of securities shall be deemed a
consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.
(d) Officer's Certificate. Whenever the Per Share Warrant Price is
---------------------
adjusted as provided in this Section 3 and upon any modification of the rights
of the Holder of this warrant in accordance with this Section 3, the Company
shall promptly prepare a certificate of an officer of the Company, setting forth
the Per Share Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares after such
adjustment or modification, a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment or modification and the manner of computing the same and cause a copy
of such certificate to be mailed to the Holder.
(e) Notice. If the Board of Directors of the Company shall declare any
------
dividend or other distribution in cash with respect to the Common Stock, other
than out of earned surplus, the Company shall mail notice thereof to the Holder
not less than 15 days prior to the record date fixed for determining
shareholders entitled to participate in such dividend or other distribution.
4. Fully Paid Stock; Taxes. The Company agrees that the shares of the
-----------------------
Common Stock represented by each and every certificate for Warrant Shares
delivered on the exercise of this Warrant shall, at the time of such delivery,
be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and not
subject to preemptive rights, and the Company will take all such actions as may
be necessary to assure that the par value or stated value, if any, per share of
the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then Per Share
Warrant Price. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay, when
due and payable, any and all Federal and state stamp, original issue or similar
taxes that may be payable, in respect of the issue of any Warrant Share or
certificate therefor.
5. Transfer.
--------
(a) Securities Laws. Neither this Warrant nor the Warrant Shares
---------------
issuable upon the exercise hereof have been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under any state securities laws
and unless so registered may not be transferred, sold, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise disposed of unless an exemption from such registration is available.
In the event Holder desires to transfer this Warrant or any of the Warrant
Shares issued, the Holder must give the Company prior written notice of such
proposed transfer including the name and address of the proposed transferee.
Such transfer may be made only either (i) upon issuance by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a ruling, interpretation, opinion or
"no action letter" based upon facts presented to said commission, or (ii) upon
receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel to the Holder, reasonably
acceptable to the Company both as to such counsel and as to such opinion, in
either case to the effect that the proposed transfer will not violate the
provisions of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated under
such act, or in the case of clause (ii) above, to the effect that the Warrant or
Warrant Shares to be sold or transferred has been registered under the
Securities Act and that there is in effect a current prospectus meeting the
requirements of Subsection 10(a) of the Securities Act that is being or will be
delivered to the purchaser or transferee at or prior to the time of delivery of
the certificates evidencing the Warrant or Warrant Stock to be sold or
transferred.
(b) Lock-Up Agreements with Underwriters. In the event of a public
------------------------------------
offering of the Company's securities, the Holder agrees to enter into an
agreement with the underwriter or underwriter's representative for such offering
restricting the sale, transfer or other disposition of this Warrant or the
Warrant Shares to the extent that such agreement is required to be executed by
the underwriter or the underwriter's representative.
(c) Conditions to Transfer. Prior to any such proposed transfer, and as
----------------------
a condition thereto, if such transfer is not made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, the Holder will, if requested
by the Company, deliver to the Company (i) an agreement by the proposed
transferee to the impression of the restrictive investment legend set forth
herein on the certificate or certificates representing the securities acquired
by such transferee, (ii) an agreement by such transferee that the Company may
place a "stop transfer order" with its transfer agent or registrar, and (iii) an
agreement by the transferee to indemnify the Company to the same extent as set
forth in the next succeeding paragraph.
(d) Indemnity. The Holder acknowledges that the Holder understands the
---------
meaning and legal consequences of this Section 5, and the Holder hereby agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its representatives and each officer
and director thereof from and against any and all loss, damage or liability
(including all attorneys' fees and costs incurred in enforcing this indemnity
provision) due to or arising out of (a) the inaccuracy of any representation or
the breach of any warranty of the Holder contained in, or any other breach of,
this Warrant, (b) any transfer of any of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares in
violation of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated under
such act, (c) any transfer of the Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares not in
accordance with this Warrant or (d) any untrue statement or omission to state
any material fact in connection with the investment representations or with
respect to the facts and representations supplied by the Holder to counsel upon
which its opinion as to a proposed transfer shall have been based.
(e) Transfer. Except as restricted hereby, this Warrant and the Warrant
--------
Shares issued may be transferred by the Holder in whole or in part at any time
or from time to time. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the
office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with assignment documentation duly
executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, and upon compliance with
the foregoing provisions, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver
a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of
assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. Any assignment,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of this Warrant attempted
contrary to the provisions of this Warrant, or any levy of execution, attachment
or other process attempted upon the Warrant, shall be null and void and without
effect.
(f) Legend and Stop Transfer Orders. Unless the Warrant Shares have been
-------------------------------
registered under the Securities Act, upon exercise of any part of the Warrant
and the issuance of any of the shares of Warrant Shares, the Company shall
instruct its transfer agent to enter stop transfer orders with respect to such
shares, and all certificates representing Warrant Shares shall bear on the face
thereof substantially the following legend, insofar as is consistent with
Delaware law:
"The shares of common stock represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold,
offered for sale, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless
registered pursuant to the provisions of that Act or an opinion of counsel to
the Company is obtained stating that such disposition is in compliance with an
available exemption from such registration."
6. No Registration Rights. The Company shall have no obligation to
----------------------
register any Warrant or Warrant Shares, nor will the Holder have any right to
require that any Warrant Shares be registered, in order to permit any sale or
other disposition thereof in accordance with the registration requirements of
the Securities Act or any state securities laws or regulations.
7. Loss, Etc. of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the
---------------------
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if lost, stolen or destroyed,
and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company
shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like date, tenor and
denomination.
8. Warrant Holder Not A Shareholder. Except as otherwise specifically
--------------------------------
provided herein, this Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any right to vote
or to consent to or receive notice as a shareholder of the Company, as such, in
respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights or liabilities as a
shareholder, prior to the exercise hereof.
9. Communications. No notice or other communication under this Warrant
--------------
shall be effective unless the same is in writing and is delivered personally,
mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or mailed by nationally recognized
overnight courier (e.g., Federal Express), addressed to:
----
(a) the Company at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000X, Xxxxxxxxxx,

or such other address as the Holder has designated in writing to the Company.
Any such notice shall be effective upon receipt.
10. Headings. The headings of this Warrant have been inserted as a matter
--------
