Headlease. Subject to this Section 6.1, all terms and conditions of the
Headlease are incorporated into and made a part of this Sublease as if

of conflict between the incorporated provisions of the Headlease and the
remaining provisions of this Sublease, the latter shall control. Subtenant
assumes and agrees to perform the tenant's obligations under the Headlease
during the Term, except that the obligation to pay rent or other amounts to
Headlandlord under the Headlease shall not be an obligation of Subtenant, and
Subtenant shall instead pay the rent under this Sublease. Subtenant shall not
commit or suffer any act or omission that will violate any of the provisions of
the Headlease.
If the Headlease terminates as a result of a default or breach of
Subtenant under this Sublease and/or the Headlease, then the Subtenant shall be
liable to the Sublandlord for the direct damage suffered as a result of such
termination. Subtenant covenants not to commit or suffer any act or omission
that will violate the Headlease.

to pay the cost of performing or constructing) any repair, maintenance or

the corresponding grace or cure period under this Sublease shall be two (2)

its obligations to Subtenant under this Sublease is contingent upon the full and
timely performance of Headlandlord's obligations under the Headlease. The
parties further acknowledge that, while Sublandlord will use reasonable efforts
to cause Headlandlord to perform its obligations under the Headlease,
Sublandlord will not be liable to Subtenant for any breach of Sublandlord's
obligations under this Sublease, nor shall such breach diminish Sublandlord's
rights hereunder, where the same is caused by or attributable to the failure of
Headlandlord to perform its obligations under the Headlease.

---------------------

----------------------------------------------------------
that Subtenant is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the
terms and

provisions of this Sublease or the Headlease, if Sublandlord intends during the
Term of this Sublease, to market the Second Floor Space of 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx
consisting of approximately 18,111 rentable square feet when it becomes
available for leasing (the "Second Floor Space"), then Sublandlord will present

Subtenant. Except as otherwise set forth in the Offer, the lease of the Second
Floor Space shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Sublease.
Upon its receipt of the Offer, Subtenant shall have seven (7) business days to
accept or reject the Offer. If Subtenant accepts the Offer within said seven

Subtenant's acceptance of the Offer. In the event Subtenant does not accept the
Offer within said seven day period or Sublandlord and Subtenant do not execute a
lease on the terms set forth in the Offer within said thirty day period, then
Sublandlord shall have the right to lease the Second Floor Space on terms which
Sublandlord reasonably determines to be at least 90% as economically beneficial
to Sublandlord as those set forth in the Offer without reoffering the Second
Floor Space to Subtenant. If (i) Sublandlord wishes to lease the Second Floor
Space on terms less than 90% as economically beneficial to Sublandlord, or (ii)

7.10 Option to Extend. Subtenant shall have the right and option to extend
----------------
the Term for an additional two (2) years and nine (9) months until September 30,
2005 (the "Extension Term") commencing upon the expiration of the original Term
referred to in Section 2.2 (the "Original Term"), provided that Subtenant shall
give Sublandlord notice of Subtenant's irrevocable exercise of such option at
least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Original Term and provided
further that Subtenant shall not be in default at either the time of giving such
notice or at the time of the commencement of the Extension Term in the
performance or observance of any of the terms and
11
provisions of this Sublease on the part of Subtenant to be performed or
observed. Prior to the exercise by Subtenant of such option, the expression
"Term" shall mean the Original Term, and after the exercise by Subtenant of such
option, the expression "Term" shall mean the Original Term as it has been
extended by the Extension Term. Except as expressly otherwise provided in the
following paragraph, all the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and
agreements in the Sublease contained shall be applicable to the Extension Term.
If Subtenant shall give notice of its exercise of such option to extend in the
manner and within the time period provided aforesaid, the Term shall be extended
upon the giving of such notice without the requirement of any further action on
the part of either Subtenant or Sublandlord. If Subtenant shall fail to give
timely notice of the exercise of such option as aforesaid, Subtenant shall have
no right to extend the Term of this Sublease, time being of the essence of the
foregoing provisions.
The Monthly Fixed Rent payable during the Extension Term shall be the greater of
(i) the Monthly Fixed Rent in effect for the year immediately preceding the
commencement of the Extension Term or (ii) the Fair Market Rent for the
Premises, as determined below, as of the commencement of the Extension Term. If
for any reason the Monthly Fixed Rent payable during the Extension Term has not
been determined as of the commencement of the Extension Term, Subtenant shall
pay the Monthly Fixed Rent payable during the immediately preceding year until
the Monthly Fixed Rent for the Extension Term is determined, at which time, an
appropriate adjustment, if any, shall be made.
For purposes hereof, the Fair Market Rent shall mean the fair rent for the
Premises as of the commencement of the Extension Term under market conditions
then existing. Fair Market Rent shall be determined by agreement between
Sublandlord and Subtenant, but if Sublandlord and Subtenant are unable to agree
upon the Fair Market Rent at least two (2) months prior to the date upon which
the Fair Market Rent is to take effect, then the Fair Market Rent shall be
determined by appraisal made as hereinafter provided by a board of three (3)
reputable independent commercial real estate consultants, appraisers, or
brokers, each of whom shall have at least ten (10) years of experience in the
Westboro office rental market and each of whom is hereinafter referred to as
"Appraiser". Subtenant and Sublandlord shall each appoint one such Appraiser
and the two (2) Appraisers so appointed shall appoint the third Appraiser. The
cost and expenses of each Appraiser appointed separately by Subtenant and
Sublandlord shall be borne by the party who appointed the Appraiser. The cost
and expense of the Third Appraiser shall be shared equally by Subtenant and
Sublandlord. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall appoint their respective
Appraisers at least fifty-five (55) days prior to commencement of the Extension
Term and shall designate the Appraisers so appointed by notice to the other
party. The two Appraisers so appointed and designated shall appoint the third
Appraiser at least forty-five (45) days prior to the commencement of the
Extension Term and shall designate such Appraiser by notice to Sublandlord and
Subtenant. The board of three (3) Appraisers shall determine the Fair Market
Rent of
12
the Premises as of the commencement of the Extension Term and shall notify
Sublandlord and Subtenant of their determinations at least thirty (30) days
prior to the commencement of the Extension Term. If the determination of the
Fair Market Rent of any two (2) or all three (3) Appraisers shall be identical
in amount, said amount shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Rent of the
Premises. If the determination of all three (3) Appraisers shall be different in
amount, the average of the two (2) values nearest in amount shall be deemed the
Fair Market Rent of the Premises. The Fair Market Rent of the Premises
determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be binding
and conclusive on Subtenant and Sublandlord.
7.11 Consent of Headlandlord. Subtenant acknowledges that this Sublease is
-----------------------
subject to the consent of the Headlandlord. Within three (3) business days
after the execution of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall notify and forward an
originally executed copy of this Sublease to the Headlandlord and shall request
Headlandlord's consent thereto. Upon receiving Headlandlord's response,
Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant as to whether or not the Headlandlord
consented to the sublease. In the event the Headlandlord does not consent to
the sublease, this Sublease shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect.
THIS SUBLEASE is executed as a sealed instrument in two or more
counterparts on the day and year first above written.
