     1.1 Demised Premises and Term: In consideration of the rents reserved
herein and in consideration of the agreements and conditions herein contained
on the part of Tenant to be performed and observed, Landlord does hereby demise
and lease to Tenant, and Tenant does hereby hire from Landlord, the premises

accept the demised premises in their existing physical condition, and Landlord
shall be under no obligation to make any repairs, alterations or improvements to

demised premises for Tenant's occupancy.

     1.4 Early Occupancy: During the time period commencing upon the execution
and delivery of this Lease, and ending upon the commencement of the term of
this Lease (the "Early Occupancy Period"), Tenant shall comply with all of the
provisions of this Lease as if said period were part of the term of this Lease,
except that no rent shall be payable for said period. Tenant shall have full
access, use and occupancy of the demised premises during the Early Occupancy
Period under the terms of the Lease.


     1.5 Extension Option:

     1.5.1 First Extension Term: Tenant shall have the right, at its election,
to extend the Original Term of this Lease for an additional period of ten (10)
years commencing upon October 1, 2014 and expiring upon September 30, 2004 (the

     1.5.2 Second Extension Term: Tenant shall have the right, at its election,
to extend the Original Term of this Lease as previously extended by the First

Term"). Tenant shall exercise its option to extend the term for the Second
Extension Term by giving Landlord written notice of its election no earlier than

Tenant of any of the aforesaid elections, the expression "the term of this
Lease" or any equivalent expression shall mean the Original Term as it may have

the agreements and conditions in this Lease contained shall apply to the
additional period or periods to which the Original Term shall be extended as
aforesaid. If Tenant shall not give Landlord notice of Tenant's decision to

days of the receipt of a reminder notice from Landlord as provided above),
then, the term shall end upon the expiration of the term (as it may have

<PAGE>
     2.2 First Extension Term Rent: During the First Extension Term for which
the Original Term of this Lease may be extended as set forth in Section 1.2
above the fixed rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so as to equal the
greater of (a) $1,576,750.00 per annum; or (b) ninety five percent (95%) of the
"fair market rent"  as mutually determined by Landlord and Tenant through the
process of negotiation or as otherwise herein set forth; and

     2.3 Second Extension Term Rent: During the Second Extension Term for which
the Original Term of this Lease as previously extended may be further extended
as set forth in Section 1.2 above, the fixed rent payable hereunder shall be
adjusted so as to equal the greater of (a) $2,040,500.00 per annum; or (b)
ninety-five percent (95%) of the "fair market rent" as mutually determined by
Landlord and Tenant through the process of negotiation or as otherwise herein
set forth.

     2.4 Fair Market Rent Arbitration: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, however, if for any reason whatsoever Landlord and Tenant
shall not agree in writing upon the "fair market rent" for any additional
period at least six (6) months prior to the commencement of the additional
period in question, then the fair market rent for the additional period in
question for premises of the size and nature of the demised premises shall be
determined by licensed real estate appraisers having at least five (5) years'
experience in the appraisal of commercial real estate in the Metro-North /
Boston, Massachusetts market, one such appraiser to be designated by each of
Landlord and Tenant. If either party shall fail to designate its appraiser by
giving notice of the name of such appraiser to the other party within fifteen
(15) days after receiving notice of the name of the other party's appraiser,
then the appraiser chosen by the other party shall determine the fair market
rent and his determination shall be final and conclusive. If the appraisers
designated by Landlord and Tenant shall disagree as to the fair market rent,
but if the difference between their estimates of fair market rent shall be five
percent (5%) or less of the greater of the estimates, then the average of their
estimates shall be the fair market rent for purposes hereof. If the appraisers
designated by Landlord and Tenant shall disagree as to the amount of fair
market rent, and if their estimates of fair market rent shall vary by more than
five percent (5%) of the greater of said estimates, then they shall jointly
select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth above, and his
estimate of fair market rent shall be the fair market rent for purposes hereof
if it is not greater than the greater of the other two estimates and not less
than the lesser of the other two estimates. If said third appraiser's estimate
is greater than the greater of the other two estimates, then the greater of the
other two estimates shall be the fair market rent for purposes hereof; and if
the estimate of the third appraiser shall be less than the lesser of the other
two estimates, then the lesser of the other two estimates shall be the fair
market rent for purposes hereof. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall pay for the
services of its appraiser, and if a third appraiser shall be chosen, then each
of Landlord and Tenant shall pay for one-half of the services of the third
appraiser.

     2.5 General Provisions for Rent Payments: Rent Day shall be October 1,
2002. Fixed Rent and any additional rent payable to Landlord shall be paid to
Landlord at the address provided for in Article 8, or to such other legal
entity or to such other address as Landlord shall designate by notice to
Tenant. Fixed Rent shall be paid to Landlord without notice or demand and
without abatement, deduction, counterclaim or set off except only as expressly
otherwise herein provided.

                          ARTICLE III. Additional Rent

     3.1  Additional Rent: Tenant agrees to pay every "Imposition" (hereinafter
defined), before the same becomes delinquent, payable for any period between
Rent Day and the expiration of the term of this Lease. Every Imposition payable
for a period beginning before the Rent Day and ending after Rent Day or for a
period beginning before the expiration of the term of this Lease and ending
after the expiration of the term shall be apportioned and adjusted between
Landlord and Tenant. Upon demand from time to time Tenant will furnish to
Landlord evidence of payments of Impositions. "Impositions" shall mean real
estate taxes, betterments assessments (special or general, ordinary or
extraordinary), water and sewer taxes and any other ad valorem charges made by
any public authority (consistent with the current system of real estate taxes,
betterments assessments (special or general, ordinary or extraordinary), water
and sewer taxes) which upon assessment or upon failure of payment become a lien
upon the demised premises. If any betterments assessments may be payable by law
in installments, at Tenant's election said betterments assessments shall be
deemed payable not for the period in which the same are assessed but in
installments for the periods in which the installments thereof are payable. If
Landlord shall have the right to elect the period over which any such assessment
may be paid, at Tenant's election, Landlord agrees to elect the longest period
available to Landlord. Impositions shall not include any franchise, estate,
inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax of Landlord, or any income
tax of Landlord or tax upon rents payable by Tenant.

     3.2  Public Requirements: Tenant agrees to comply during the term of this
Lease with all "Public Requirements" (hereinafter defined) applicable to the
demised premises and to the public ways adjacent to the demised premises.
"Public Requirements" mean laws, ordinances, by-laws, regulations and orders of
all public authorities having jurisdiction, compliance with which shall by law
be the obligation of the owner or occupant of the demised premises.

     3.3.  Contests by Tenant: Tenant shall have the right to contest in good
faith any Imposition or Public Requirement in the manner provided by law for
contesting the same, provided that if payment of any Imposition or if compliance
with any Public Requirement shall be deferred pending such contest, such
deferment of payment or deferment of compliance shall not jeopardize Landlord's
interest in the demised premises. Such contest shall be in the name of Tenant or
in the name of Landlord or in the names of both. At the request of Tenant and
without cost or expense to Landlord, Landlord will join in any contest and
execute any and all documents in connection therewith as Tenant may reasonably
request. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against, and save Landlord harmless
from, any and all loss, damage, claims, liabilities, judgments, costs and
expenses (including the cost and expense of defending any claim), arising out of
any such contest or out of any deferring of payment of any Imposition or any
deferring of compliance with any Public Requirement. Until such time as an
abatement or refund shall be obtained, an Imposition shall be deemed the amount
assessed; after an abatement or refund shall be obtained, the Imposition shall
be deemed the amount assessed less the net abatement or refund.

                              ARTICLE IV. Control

         4.1  Control: Except as otherwise set forth in the Existing Lease,
Tenant shall have exclusive possession and control of, and responsibility for,
the demised premises and the public ways adjacent to the demised premises to the
extent that possession or control of, or responsibility for such ways is the
obligation of the property owner and not public authority.

         4.1.1  Encumbrances by Landlord: Landlord hereby covenants to Tenant
that Landlord shall not voluntarily create or permit to be created any, liens,
easements, restrictions or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever or otherwise
modify any items disclosed in the commitment for title insurance (the "Title
Commitment") attached as Exhibit C with respect to the demised premises after
the date hereof without the prior written consent of Tenant, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, Landlord hereby covenants to
Tenant that Landlord shall not (i) enter into any leases, tenancies or other
agreements affording a right of occupancy of the demised premises, enter into
any management, leasing, brokerage, purchase or maintenance contracts which
shall be binding on Tenant or the demised premises, or grant any rights or
options to purchase the demised premises except any which shall be subordinate
to this Lease, or (ii) initiate or participate in any modifications to the
existing buildings and zoning laws of the Town of Chelmsford, or any other
governmental authority, relating to the use or occupancy of the demised premises
after the date hereof without the prior written consent of Tenant, such consent
with respect to the matters in clause (ii) only not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed.

         4.1.2  Encumbrances by Tenant: Subject to the conditions and
limitations in this Subsection 4.1.2, Landlord shall cooperate and join in any
agreement, grant or covenant relating to the demised premises and Tenant's use
and occupancy thereof requested by Tenant for the benefit of a third party
subject to the review and approval of Landlord and its counsel on the standards
set forth below. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay
its approval of: (a) the grant of an easement for sidewalks to the Town of
Chelmsford in connection with the renovation of the demised premises, or (b) any
encumbrance which by its terms automatically expires at the expiration of the
term of this Lease and if Tenant fails to purchase the demised premises. With
respect to any such encumbrance presented for Landlord's approval which is not
specified for reasonable approval above, Landlord's approval shall be given or
withheld and conditions shall be imposed in Landlord's sole discretion, but
Landlord shall not unreasonably delay its response to a request for approval of
any such encumbrance. In the event that during the Original Term Landlord has
withheld its consent to any such encumbrance requested by Tenant (either by the
reasonable approval or sole discretion standard), then Tenant may elect to
proceed and require Landlord to cooperate and join in such encumbrance on the
condition that then Landlord shall have the right to "put" the demised premises
to Tenant at the Purchase Price referred to in Article 16 below and Tenant shall
be obligated to purchase the demised premises at the Purchase Price pursuant to
the process provided in Section 16.3 below for the Put Option.

         4.2  Indemnity: To the full extent allowed by applicable law (i.e.
subject to the limitations of Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 186 Section 15), Tenant shall
indemnify Landlord against, and save Landlord harmless from, any and all loss,
damage, claims, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including the cost
and expense of defending any claim), arising during the term of this

                                       5
<PAGE>
Lease out of any condition existing upon the demised premises, any act occurring
upon the demised premises (other than acts of Landlord and its agents), any use
made of the demised premises, or any omission or failure to act upon the demised
premises; provided that in the event of any claim made against Landlord,
Landlord shall give Tenant reasonably prompt notice of such claim.

     4.3  Insurance: Tenant shall maintain with respect to the demised premises
during the term of this Lease a policy of commercial general liability insurance
and if necessary commercial umbrella insurance in insurance companies authorized
to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and with a rating of not
lower  than "A-" as ranked by A.M. Best (or an equivalent rating by an alternate
service if the A.M. Best rating service is no longer available in the future) in
amounts not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). Lessee agrees to
provide fire damage legal liability with a limit of not less than $500,000.00.
These insurance policies of Tenant shall cover bodily injury, personal injury
and property damage liability from the demised premises and obligations assumed
under this Lease. Tenant will furnish the Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee with
a certificate or certificates of such insurance at the inception of this Lease
and at the renewal date of such policies thereafter. Such certificate[s] will
name Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee as an additional insured on all such
policies. Such certificate[s] shall provide that the policies in question shall
not be cancelled without 15 days prior notice to the certificate holder. Such
insurance may be maintained under a blanket policy or policies affecting the
demised premises and other premises.

                     ARTICLE V. Landlord's Representations

     5.1  Landlord's Representations: Landlord makes the representations,
warranties and agreements set forth in Schedule B of this Lease.

                             ARTICLE VI. Assignment

     6.1  Assignment: Except as hereinafter set forth, Tenant shall not without
the prior written consent of Landlord assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise
encumber this Lease, make any sublease or permit occupancy of the demised
premises or any part thereof by anyone other than Tenant or the tenant under the
Existing Lease. Landlord hereby agrees however that Tenant may, without
Landlord's consent, assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the whole or any
part of the demised premises to (a) an entity which owns all of the outstanding
equity in Tenant ("Tenant's Parent"); (b) an entity wholly owned by Tenant or by
Tenant's Parent ("a Subsidiary"); (c) an entity resulting from the consolidation
or merger of Tenant with any other entity; or (d) an entity which shall acquire
all or substantially all of the assets or equity of Tenant. Landlord agrees,
further, that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its
consent for a request by Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any
part of the demised premises to any other unrelated entities provided, however,
if Tenant subleases any portion of the demised premises not occupied pursuant to
the Existing Lease (excluding any Permitted Transfer), Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the first Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00) received by Tenant
pursuant to any such subletting at a rate per square foot in excess of the fixed
rental rate per square foot payable by Tenant as set forth in Article 2,
provided, however, before calculating any net profit of subleasing or
assignment, Tenant may deduct the reasonable expenses of any such subletting
(including the cost of tenant


                                       6



<PAGE>
improvements to the demised premises made by Tenant which have not previously
been amortized and which are properly allocated to the space to be sublet or
assigned), the reasonable cost of tenant improvements or allowances for tenant
improvements provided for the subtenant or assignee in question, reasonable
legal expenses and leasing commissions. Each request by Tenant for permission to
assign this Lease or to sublet the whole or any part of the demised premises
shall be accompanied by a warranty by Tenant as to the amount of rent to be paid
to Tenant by the proposed assignee or sublessee and a statement of expenses to
be deducted in calculating the net proceeds of subleasing or assignment. For
purposes of this paragraph, the term "rent" shall mean all fixed rent,
additional rent or other payments and/or consideration payable by one party to
another for the use and occupancy of premises (and shall exclude, for example,
payments for support or services provided to the subtenant by Tenant beyond
usual landlord services, payments made to Tenant for the sale of its business or
sale or lease of its equipment to the subtenant in the normal course of Tenant's
business at a commercially reasonable price in an arm's length transaction).
Tenant further agrees that any sublease, license, concession or agreement for
use, occupancy or utilization of space in the demised premises entered into by
it or by anyone claiming under it shall contain the provisions set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence. If there shall be any assignment or subletting
by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, Tenant shall remain
primarily liable for the performance and observance of the covenants and
agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be performed and observed,
such liability to be (in the case of any assignment) joint and several with that
of such assignee. It is expressly understood and agreed that no assignment of
Tenant's interest in this Lease shall be effective until such time as Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord an agreement from the assignee, which agreement shall
be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in form and substance and shall provide
that the assignee agrees with Landlord to be primarily liable for the
performance and observance of the covenants and agreements herein contained on
the part of Tenant to be performed and observed, such liability to be joint and
several with that of Tenant.

     6.2  Non-Disturbance of Sublessees: Any sublease or subleases that may be
given by Tenant of all or part of the demised premises may contain provisions
whereby the sublessee shall not be disturbed in its possession in accordance
with the terms and conditions of its sublease except for such cause as would
entitle the sublessor thereunder (Tenant hereunder) to terminate such sublease
(such provisions being sometimes referred to as "non-disturbance" clauses).
Accordingly, it is understood and agreed between the parties that if prior to
the expiration of the term of this Lease Landlord shall have the right to
possession of the demised premises or the portion thereof subject to such
sublease (whether or not this Lease shall be terminated), then in such event,
Landlord covenants and agrees that the sublessee thereunder shall not be
disturbed in its possession in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
sublease, except for such cause as would entitle the sublessor under such
sublease to terminate such sublease; and if the sublessee will agree in writing
to recognize Landlord as its landlord under the terms of such sublease, then
Landlord will agree with such sublessee to perform and observe all of the
obligations imposed by such sublease upon the landlord therein. Landlord agrees,
in confirmation thereof, to deliver such instruments or documents duly executed
for recordation that may be required by the sublessee to effectuate the
foregoing.

                   ARTICLE VII.  Alterations and Improvements

                                       7

<PAGE>
     7.1 Alterations and Improvements: Subject to the terms of the Existing
Lease referred to in Section 1.2 above and subject to the last two (2) sentences
of this Section 7.1, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining any consent
from Landlord therefore, from time to time during the term of this Lease, to
erect any lawful building or buildings or other lawful improvements upon the
demised premises of any kind, nature or description, as it deems desirable, and
to make repairs, changes, alterations, additions and other improvements thereto,
structural or otherwise, and to demolish and remove any of the same, as Tenant
may from time to time deem necessary or desirable provided, however, that no
such alteration, demolition or addition shall diminish the value of the demised
premises when considering the aggregate effect of alterations, demolition or
additions made by Tenant to the demised premises. Also, subject to the Existing
Lease and the terms of any other leases or subleases entered into by Tenant for
any portion of the demised premises, Tenant shall have the right at any time
during the term of this Lease, or at the expiration of the term, as Tenant shall
see fit, to remove any and all improvements erected, installed or placed on the
demised premises prior to or during the term hereof by Tenant, notwithstanding
the fact that any such improvements may be deemed part of the realty, and
notwithstanding any rule, regulation or statute to the contrary. In the event
Landlord has approved the specific structural alteration or demolition, Tenant
shall have no obligation to restore the demised premises except as otherwise set
forth in the Existing Lease or as set forth in any other leases or subleases
entered into by Tenant for any portion of the demised premises. In the event
Landlord has not approved specific structural alterations or demolition in
advance, then Tenant shall either restore the building and the demised premises
with respect to such unapproved structural alteration or demolition upon the
termination of this Lease, or, if this Lease is to expire at the end of the
Original Term, and if Tenant does not so restore the demised premises and the
building, then Landlord shall have the right to "put" the demised premises to
Tenant at the Purchase Price referred to in Article 16 below and Tenant shall be
obligated to purchase the demised premises at the Purchase Price pursuant to the
process provided in Section 16.3 below for the Put Option.

     7.1.1 Approval of Initial Renovations: Tenant shall submit to Landlord
plans and drawings for the construction of the initial renovations and additions
that Tenant will construct to the demised premises for review and approval of
the structural elements thereof by Landlord in its discretion (the "Initial TI
Plans"). Landlord shall promptly, and in no event later than 15 days after the
receipt of the Initial TI Plans, (or within 5 days after the receipt of any
revision thereof submitted in response to Landlord's disapproval of a prior
submission of the Initial TI Plans), respond in writing to communicate
Landlord's approval or disapproval of specific structural elements of the
Initial TI Plans. Landlord's response shall include a reasonably detailed
breakdown of any specific structural elements that Landlord disapproves. Tenant
shall have the election to either (a) revise the Initial TI Plans and resubmit
them for reconsideration by Landlord, or (b) to proceed with the renovations or
additions in question without Landlord's approval (and subject to the provisions
of Section 7.1 above).

     7.1.2 Approval of Subsequent Renovations: With respect to any structural
alterations or additions to the demised premises done after the initial
renovations and alterations of the demised premises, Tenant may at its election
submit to Landlord plans and drawings for the construction of such structural
alterations or additions for review and approval of the structural elements
thereof by Landlord in its discretion (the "TI Plans"). Landlord shall promptly,
and in no event later than 30 days after the receipt of any TI Plans, (or within
10 days after the receipt

                                       8
<PAGE>
of any revision thereof submitted in response to Landlord's disapproval of a
prior submission of the TI Plans in question), respond in writing to communicate
Landlord's approval or disapproval of specific structural elements of the TI
Plans in question. Landlord's response shall include a reasonably detailed
breakdown of any specific structural elements that Landlord disapproves. Tenant
shall have the election to either (a) revise the TI Plans in question and
resubmit them for reconsideration by Landlord, or (b) to proceed with the
renovations or additions in question without Landlord's approval (and subject to
the provisions of Section 7.1 above).

     7.2  Certain Liens:  Tenant will cause to be paid all charges for all work
done (labor and materials) upon the demised premises during the term of this
Lease and will not suffer or permit any mechanics' or similar liens for labor or
materials furnished to the demised premises during the term of this Lease to
remain as a lien against the demised premises or any part thereof; and if any
such lien shall be filed, Tenant will either pay the same or procure the
discharge thereof by bonding, giving security or in such other manner as may be
required or permitted by law. Tenant shall have the right, however, in its name
or in the name of Landlord or in the name of both, to contest any such lien,
provided that the existence of such lien pending such contest shall not
jeopardize Landlord's interest in the demised premises. Tenant shall indemnify
Landlord against, and save Landlord harmless from any and all loss, damage,
claims, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses arising out of the filing of
any such lien. Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not, under any
circumstances, be liable to pay for any work, labor or services rendered or
materials furnished to Tenant or any of its subtenants upon credit.

     7.3  Tenant's Permits:  Landlord agrees upon request by Tenant to execute
or join in the execution of any application for any permits or licenses
(including without limitation, zoning changes) which may be necessary in
connection with the construction of any buildings or other improvements on the
demised premises or the making of any alterations, additions and repairs
thereto. All such permits and licenses shall be applied for and secured at
Tenant's expense in Tenant's name alone unless Landlord's name is also required
in connection therewith by such governmental authority. In addition, Landlord
agrees to cooperate fully with Tenant, without cost or expense to Landlord, in
connection with the exercise by Tenant of any of its rights under this Lease. In
particular, and without limitation, Landlord agrees to execute utility easements
and such other documents as Tenant may reasonably request.

     7.4  Repairs by Landlord:  Landlord shall have no obligation to make any
repairs or alterations to the demised premises or any part thereof.

                            ARTICLE VIII.   Notices

     8.1  Notices:  All notices sent or required to be sent hereunder shall be
sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid;
if sent to Landlord, the same shall be addressed to Landlord c/o Altid
Enterprises, LLC, 17 Monsignor O'Brien Highway, P.O. Box 410207, Cambridge,
Massachusetts 02141-0002 or to such other person or address as Landlord may
hereafter designate by notice to Tenant; if sent to Tenant, the same shall be
addressed to Tenant at 15 Elizabeth Drive, Chelmsford, Massachusetts 01824 Attn:
Jeffrey J. Myrdek, Global Facilities Manager, and with a copy to Brown Rudnick
Berlack Israels LLP, One Financial Center, Boston, Massachusetts 02111, Attn:
David H. Murphree, Esq., or to such other person or address as Tenant may
hereafter designate by notice to Landlord. If Tenant


                                       9


<PAGE>
has given notice to Landlord of the name and address of any mortgagee of the
demised premises, a duplicate copy of every notice to Tenant shall be given to
said mortgagee at said address by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid. Such mortgagee shall have the same rights as
Tenant, and a reasonable period of time after receipt by it of notice of a
failure of Tenant, to correct any failure of Tenant.

                     ARTICLE IX. Subordination to Mortgages

     9.1  Mortgage Holder's Election: Subject to the requirement that any such
first mortgagee must first enter into a Non-Disturbance Agreement (as defined
below) as a precondition to subordination, it is agreed that the right and
interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be: (i) subject and subordinate to
the lien of any present or future first mortgage (and to any and all advances
to be made thereunder, and to the interest thereon) upon the demised premises or
any property of which the demised premises are a part, if the holder of such
mortgage shall elect, by notice to Tenant, to subject and subordinate the right
and interest of Tenant under this Lease to the lien of its mortgage; or (ii)
prior to the lien of any present or future first mortgage if the holder of such
mortgage shall elect, by notice to Tenant, to give the right and interest of
Tenant under this Lease priority to the lien of its mortgage. It is understood
and agreed that the holder of such mortgage may also elect, by notice to
Tenant, to make some provisions hereof subject and subordinate to the lien of
its mortgage while granting other provisions hereof priority to the lien of its
mortgage. In the event of any of such elections, and upon notification by the
holder of such mortgage to that effect, the right and interest of Tenant under
this Lease shall be deemed to be subordinate to, or to have priority over, as
the case may be, the lien of said mortgage, irrespective of the time of
execution or time of recording of any such mortgage. Tenant agrees that it
will, upon request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all
instruments deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable to evidence or to give
notice of such subordination or priority in a commercially reasonable form
consistent with the provisions of this Lease and as approved by Tenant and its
counsel. The word "mortgage" as used herein includes mortgages, deeds of trust
or other similar instruments and modifications, consolidations, extensions,
renewals, replacements and substitutes thereof.

     9.2  Non-Disturbance Agreement: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article 9, Tenant shall not be required to subordinate this
Lease and the lien hereof to the lien of any future mortgage unless the holder
of such mortgage shall enter into an agreement with Tenant, recordable in form
(a "Non-Disturbance Agreement"), in a commercially reasonable form consistent
with the provisions of this Lease and as approved by Tenant and its counsel,
and to the effect of the following listed provisions in Sub-paragraphs 9.2.1
through 9.2.4. Upon request of Tenant, each holder of a mortgage on the demised
premises (including without implied limitation that holder of any mortgage in
place as of the time of execution of this Lease) shall enter into a
Non-Disturbance Agreement (whether or not such mortgage holder has elected to
subordinate Tenant's interest).

     9.2.1 Non-Disturbance of Tenant: In the event of foreclosure of, or
transfer by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or similar action taken under, such
mortgage, Tenant's possession of the demised premises shall not be terminated
or disturbed by such mortgage holder or anyone claiming under such mortgage
holder so long as Tenant shall not be in default of any material provision
under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods.

                                       10

<PAGE>
     9.2.2  Liability of Mortgagee/Successor: In the event that the holder of a
mortgage shall succeed to Landlord's right, title and interest in this Lease, it
is expressly understood and agreed that such mortgage holder shall not be liable
for the performance of any of Landlord's obligations hereunder, except for the
performance of those obligations which arise or continue during the period of
time that such mortgage holder holds Landlord's right, title and interest in
this Lease. For purposes of this paragraph, such mortgage holder shall not be
deemed to hold Landlord's right, title and interest by virtue of any type of
collateral assignment of this Lease to it; it being understood that said holder
shall only be deemed to hold Landlord's right, title and interest if it shall
foreclose its mortgage or take a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

     9.2.3  Recognition of Purchase Option: Any such mortgage holder must
expressly recognize and confirm the effect and enforceability of and acknowledge
that its interest is subject to Tenant's Purchase Option under Article 16 below
and that Tenant's Purchase Option shall continue in full force and effect after
any foreclosure of such mortgage or deed given in lieu of foreclosure, or after
any subsequent transfer to anyone claiming under such mortgage holder.

     9.2.4  Intervening Liens: Any Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be solely for
the benefit of the mortgage holder that is party to such agreement, and its
successors in interest in the mortgage or in the demised premises, as the case
may be, and shall not be enforceable for the benefit of the holder or any
intervening lien to which the mortgage holder is subordinate (either by priority
or through the effect of subordination).

     9.3    Notice for Mortgagee: After receiving notice from Landlord or from
any person, firm or other entity that such person, firm or other entity holds a
mortgage, as hereinbefore defined, which includes the demised premises as all or
as part of the mortgaged premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be
effective unless and until a copy of the same is given by certified or
registered mail to such holder, and the curing of any of Landlord's defaults by
such holder shall be treated as performance by Landlord. Tenant agrees that if
Landlord does not cure any default specified in a notice of default given by
Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) calendar days after Landlord's receipt
thereof, then Tenant shall give further notice of that fact to such mortgage
holder, and such mortgage holder shall thereupon, if it shall so elect, have the
right, but not the obligation, to cure the default of Landlord within twenty
(20) calendar days after its receipt of such further notice from Tenant, and in
case of a default which cannot, with due diligence, be cured within said twenty
(20) days, then the twenty (20) days shall be extended for such period as may be
necessary to complete the curing of the same with all due diligence and
continuity. This paragraph 9.3 benefits the holder of any mortgage entitled to
notices and shall not affect the rights of Tenant against the Landlord absent
prejudice to such mortgage holder.

     9.4  Mortgagee Consent: Finally, Tenant agrees that so long as any present
or future first mortgage shall remain in effect Tenant shall not alter, modify,
amend, change, surrender or cancel this Lease nor pay the rent due hereunder in
advance for more than thirty (30) days, except as may be required herein,
within the prior written consent of the holder thereof, and Tenant will not
seek to be made an adverse or defendant party in any action or proceeding
brought to enforce or foreclose such mortgage. Tenant further agrees that it
shall not subordinate its interest in this Lease to the lien of any junior
mortgage, security agreement or lease affecting the demised premises, unless
the holder of the first mortgage shall consent thereto.

<PAGE>
'                  ARTICLE X. Fire and Casualty and Restoration

     10.1  Fire and Casualty and Restoration: If any of the buildings or other
improvements on the demised premises shall be damaged or destroyed or rendered
untenantable, in whole or in part, by fire, the elements or any other cause,
such damage or destruction or conditions rendering said premises untenantable
shall not operate to terminate this Lease, but this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect, and without any reduction or abatement of rent of any
kind whatsoever. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be obligated to repair or
restore the demised premises or any portions thereof to the condition preceding
such damage or destruction or rendering untenantable or any other condition.

     10.2  Tenant's Election to Restore: In the event that Tenant elects to
restore the demised premises after any casualty, then Tenant shall be permitted
to retain all proceeds of insurance from such casualty, provided that Tenant
shall restore the structure and base building improvements of the demised
premises (i.e. that portion of the demised premises equivalent to the demised
premises as delivered to Tenant at the outset of the term of this Lease before
the construction of Tenant's improvements and alterations) (the "Base
Building") to a value equivalent to the value of the demised premises as
delivered at the outset of the term of this Lease.

     10.3  Landlord's Approval of Reconstruction: The design of the Base
Building to be reconstructed following casualty shall be subject to the
approval of Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Tenant shall submit plans for the reconstruction of the demised premises for
Landlord's approval consistent with the process provided in Paragraph 7.1.1
above. During the Original Term, Tenant may elect to proceed with
reconstruction of the demised premises following casualty without the approval
of the Landlord of the design of the Base Building, provided that to the extent
the Landlord has not approved the design of the structural elements of the
demised premises as reconstructed, then Landlord shall have the right to "put"
the demised premises to Tenant at the Purchase Price referred to in Article 16
below and Tenant shall be obligated to purchase the demised premises at the
Purchase Price pursuant to the process provided in Section 16.3 below for the
Put Option.

     10.4  Tenant's Election to Delay Reconstruction: To the extent that Tenant
intends that it may undertake reconstruction of the demised premises following
a casualty, but Tenant has elected to delay such reconstruction, Tenant may
retain the proceeds of insurance from such casualty in a segregated account
subject to escrow arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and
Landlord's mortgagee. In the event that Tenant exercises its Purchase Option,
Tenant may retain the proceeds of insurance from such casualty regardless of
Tenant's intent to restore the demised premises.

     10.5  Proceeds Paid to Landlord: At any point, if Tenant elects finally
and irrevocably not to restore the demised premises following a casualty, and
if Tenant has declined to exercise its Purchase Option, the insurance proceeds
from such casualty shall be paid to Landlord to the extent of the value of the
demised premises as delivered to Tenant at the outset of the term of this Lease
before the construction of Tenant's improvements and alterations, provided that
if Landlord receives the insurance proceeds from such a casualty, then the
Landlord's Put Option shall be of no further force and effect.

<PAGE>
                           ARTICLE XI. Right of Entry

     11.1 Right of Entry: Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times
during the term of this Lease to enter upon the demised premises for the purpose
of inspecting the same, and, if Tenant has not exercised its Purchase Option,
during the six (6) month period prior to the expiration of the term, Tenant will
permit Landlord to enter upon the demised premises at reasonable times for the
purpose of showing the same to prospective tenants. Any entry by Landlord shall
be made after reasonable prior notice to Tenant (and in the case of entry to
premises subleased by Tenant to a sublessee, notice to Tenant and such
sublessee). Except in the case of emergency, reasonable prior notice shall
include at a minimum written notice of (a) the proposed time of entry, (b) the
individuals or parties proposed to enter the property, and (c) a contact person
representing the Landlord for coordination, and shall be given at lease one full
business day prior to the proposed time of entry. In case of emergency, prior
notice shall be limited or waived as is reasonable in the circumstances. Any
such entry shall be made without unreasonable interference with Tenant (or, if
applicable such sublessee's business), and such right of entry shall be subject
to any security measures adopted by Tenant (or, if applicable, such sublessee).

                              ARTICLE XII. Default

     12.1 Landlord's Self-Help: If Tenant shall default in the performance or
observance of any agreement or condition in this Lease contained on its part to
be performed or observed other than an obligation to pay money to Landlord, and
shall not cure such default within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord
specifying the default (or shall not within said period commence to cure such
default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default to completion with
due diligence), Landlord may, at its option, without waiving any claim for
damages for breach of agreement, at any time thereafter cure such default for
the account of Tenant, and any amount paid or any contractual liability incurred
by Landlord in so doing shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of
Tenant, and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord therefore or save Landlord
harmless therefrom; provided that Landlord may cure any such default as
aforesaid prior to the expiration of said waiting period but after notice to
Tenant, if the curing of such default prior to the expiration of said waiting
period is reasonably necessary to protect the real estate or Landlord's interest
therein, or to prevent injury or damage to persons or property. If Tenant shall
fail to reimburse Landlord upon demand for any amount paid for the account of
Tenant hereunder, said amount shall be added to and become due as a part of the
next payment of rent due hereunder.

     12.2 Tenant's Default: (1) If rent or any other payment required to be
made hereunder shall not be paid for more than ten (10) days after Tenant shall
have received notice from Landlord of the failure of payment hereof; or (2) if
there shall be a failure in the performance or observance of any other agreement
or condition contained herein on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed
and such failure shall not be corrected within thirty (30) days after Tenant
shall receive notice from Landlord of such failure (or such longer period as may
be required to correct such failure if within said thirty (30) day period Tenant
shall commence to correct the same and thereafter diligently pursue the
correction thereof), then Landlord shall have the right, at its election, to
terminate the term of this Lease by giving notice to Tenant of the exercise of
said election, and in the event of Landlord's giving such notice of election to
terminate, the term

                                       13
<PAGE>
of this Lease shall terminate on the date designated therefore in said notice,
which date shall be not less than three (3) days after the receipt of such
notice by Tenant, and thereupon, or at any time thereafter, and without any
further notice or demand, Landlord may re-enter the demised premises in the
manner prescribed by law.

     In case of any such termination, Tenant will indemnify Landlord against
all loss of rent and other payments provided herein to be paid by Tenant to
Landlord between the time of termination and the expiration of the term of
this Lease as then constituted. It is understood and agreed that at the time of
the termination or at any time thereafter Landlord may rent the demised
premises, and for a term which may expire after the expiration of the term of
this Lease, without releasing Tenant from any liability whatsoever, that Tenant
shall be liable for any expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with
obtaining possession of the demised premises and in connection with any
reletting, including, but, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and
reasonable brokers' fees, and that any monies collected from any reletting
shall be applied first to the foregoing expenses and then to payment of rent
and all other payments due from Tenant to Landlord. Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages arising from Tenant's
default or termination of this Lease in case of Tenant's default.

     It is expressly understood and agreed that no action or proceeding to oust
Tenant from possession or to terminate the term of this Lease shall be taken or
brought by Landlord unless the notices herein specified be first given and the
times to cure defaults hereinabove specified have expired without such defaults
having been cured.


                        ARTICLE XIII.   Eminent Domain


     13.1 Eminent Domain: If the whole of the demised premises shall be taken
by right of eminent domain, this Lease shall be terminated as of the time of
the taking and rent shall be apportioned and adjusted as of said time.

     13.2 Partial Condemnation: If a part of the demised premises shall be
taken by right of eminent domain, this Lease shall not be terminated but Fixed
Rent shall thereafter abate in proportion to the area of the demised premises
so taken, except that if at such time there shall be a sublease or subleases in
existence on portions of the demised premises, the Fixed Rent shall thereafter
abate in the same proportion as the annual rent under said sublease or
subleases shall be abated on account of such taking.

     13.3 Condemnation Award: Landlord and Tenant shall jointly prosecute and
settle the proceedings for the determination and payment of the award payable
on account of any such taking, and the cost of such proceedings shall be a
first charge against the award received. The net award shall be divided between
Landlord and Tenant as follows: first, Landlord shall be entitled to so much of
the net award as is fairly allocable to the reversionary value of the land
taken; and second, Tenant shall be entitled to so much of the net award as is
fairly allocable to the leasehold value of the land taken and to so much of the
award as is fairly allocable to the improvements taken; it being intended that
the net award shall be fairly allocated, first between land taken and
improvements taken, and then that the portion so allocated to land taken shall
be further fairly allocated between (i) reversionary value and (ii) leasehold
value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, out of the net award and before any
division between Landlord and Tenant as

provided above there shall be paid to the holders of the mortgages placed on
the demised premises, or any part or parts thereof, by Tenant or by Landlord at
Tenant's request pursuant to the provisions of Article 12, either the balance
unpaid on said mortgages together with interest to date of payment if this
Lease be terminated as aforesaid or the requirements of the holders of said
mortgages if this Lease not be so terminated; and if this Lease shall not be
terminated by reason of said taking subject to Article 9 above, there shall be
paid to Tenant the cost of repairing and restoring the improvements which
remain upon the demised premises after said taking.

     13.4  Condemnation/Personal Property: Tenant's right and the right of
subtenants of Tenant to receive compensation or damages for its fixtures or
personal property shall not be affected in any manner by any provision in this
Article 13 contained.


                           ARTICLE XIV. Force Majeure

     14.1  Force Majeure: In any case where either party hereto is required to
do any act (other than make a payment of money) delays caused by or resulting
from Act of God, war, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, labor
difficulties, general shortages of labor, materials or equipment, government
regulations or other causes beyond such party's reasonable control shall not be
counted in determining the time when the performance of such act must be
completed, whether such time be designated by a fixed time, a fixed period of
time or "a reasonable time".

     15.1  Saving Clause: It is agreed that if any provision of this Lease
shall be determined to be void by any court of competent jurisdiction, then
such determination shall not affect any other provision of this Lease, all of
which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect; and it is the
intention of the parties hereto that if any provision of this Lease is capable
of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the
other of which would render the provision valid, then the provision shall have
the meaning which renders it valid. The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist
upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein
shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of any of the terms,
covenants and conditions herein contained.


                         ARTICLE XVI. Right to Purchase

     16.1  Right to Purchase: Tenant shall have a one time right to purchase

purchase price of $8,400,000.00 (the "Purchase Price"). Tenant shall exercise
the Purchase Option by giving Landlord written notice of its election no
earlier than October 1, 2012, and no later than the later to occur of either
(a) September 30, 2013 or (b) the date which is ten (10) business days after
the receipt by Tenant of a written reminder notice from Landlord to Tenant (the
"Purchase Option Reminder Notice") which expressly (a) refers to the Purchase
Option, and (b) states that the Purchase Option shall expire on the later of
September 30, 2013, or ten (10) business days after the date of receipt of the

demised premises pursuant to the Purchase Option shall be carried out under the
terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit D attached.

Paragraph 7.1 or Paragraph 10.3, then Landlord may exercise the Put Option by
giving written notice of Landlord's election to Tenant during a period of sixty
(60) days beginning on the later of either October 1, 2013, or ten (10)
business days after the date of receipt of the Purchase Option Reminder Notice.
If Landlord elects to exercise its Put Option to force Tenant to purchase the
demised premises, then Landlord and Tenant shall proceed to close the purchase
of the demised premises pursuant to the provisions for the closing on the
Purchase Option as if Tenant had timely elected to purchase the demised
premises pursuant to its Purchase Option.


                         ARTICLE XVII. Notice of Lease

     17.1  Notice of Lease: At the request of either party Landlord and Tenant
will execute a short form lease or a notice of lease, recordable in form, as
may be required by the laws of the state in which the demised premises are
located so that notice of this Lease may be on record. The form of Notice of
Lease is attached as Exhibit E.


                 ARTICLE XVIII. Definitions and Interpretations

     18.1  Definitions and Interpretations: The words "Landlord" and "Tenant"
and the pronouns referring thereto, as used in this Lease, shall mean, where
the context requires or admits, the persons named herein as Landlord and as
Tenant, respectively, and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns, irrespective of whether singular or plural, masculine,
feminine or neuter. This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors
and assigns. In the event of a transfer by any holder of Tenant's interest in
this Lease, such holder shall thereupon be relieved of all obligations of
Tenant thereafter accruing under this Lease and it shall be deemed that the
transferee has assumed and agreed to carry out all of the obligations of Tenant
under this Lease during such transferee's ownership. If Landlord shall be more
than one person, the obligations of Landlord shall be joint and several.

     18.2  Exculpation: If all or any part of Landlord's interest in this Lease
shall be held by a trust, no trustee, shareholder or beneficiary of said trust
shall be personally liable for any of the covenants, or agreements, express or
implied, hereunder. The covenants and agreements of such party shall be binding
upon the trustees of said trust as trustees as aforesaid and not individually
and upon the trust estate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
and whether or not Landlord's interest in this Lease shall be held by a trust,
Tenant specifically agrees to look solely to the Landlord's interest in the
demised premises (or the proceeds of sale, condemnation or insurance) for
recovery of any judgment from Landlord. The parties acknowledge that the
provisions of this Paragraph 18.2 are subject to the limitations of applicable
law (i.e. Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 186, section 15).

<PAGE>
     19.1 Hazardous Material: Tenant shall not (either with or without
negligence) cause or permit the escape, disposal or release of any biologically
or chemically active or other hazardous substances, or materials. Tenant shall
not allow the storage or use of such substances or materials in any manner not
sanctioned by law or by the highest standards prevailing in the industry for the
storage and use of such substances or materials, nor allow to be brought into
the Lot any such materials or substances except to use in the ordinary course of
Tenant's business, and then only after written notice is given to Landlord of
the identity of such substances or materials (collectively "Hazardous
Materials"). Without limitation, hazardous substances and materials shall
include those described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et
seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section
6901 et seq., any applicable state or local laws and the regulations adopted
under these acts. If any lender or governmental agency shall ever require
testing to ascertain whether or not there has been any release of hazardous
materials caused by Tenant or persons acting under Tenant, then the reasonable
costs thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as
additional rent if such requirement applies to the demised premises. In
addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like from
time to time at Landlord's request concerning Tenant's best knowledge and belief
regarding the presence of hazardous substances or materials on the demised
premises. In all events, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in the manner elsewhere
provided in this Lease from any release of hazardous materials on the demised
premises occurring while Tenant is in possession, or elsewhere if caused by
Tenant or persons acting under Tenant. The within covenants shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease.

                     ARTICLE XX.    Effectiveness of Lease

     20.1 Effectiveness of Lease: Upon execution of this Lease Landlord shall
deliver possession of the demised premises to Tenant, and during the period
between such delivery of possession and the commencement of the term of this
Lease all of the provisions of this Lease, except those relating to the payment
of rent (Fixed and additional), shall apply, to the extent that said provisions
may be made applicable to said period, it being expressly understood that Tenant
shall have the right and privilege prior to the commencement of the term, and
subject to the terms of the Existing Lease of entering the demised premises for
the purpose of commencing construction thereon without any liability to Landlord
for rent or other payments.

                             ARTICLE XXI.   Brokers

     21.1 Brokers: Tenant warrants that it has dealt with no brokers in
connection with obtaining this Lease except for Barry Joyce & Partners and CRESA
Partners ("the Brokers"). Landlord shall, by separate agreement, pay all fees
and commissions due the Brokers for bringing about the execution and delivery of
this Lease, and agrees to defend, indemnify and save Tenant harmless from any
and all claims from any broker other than the Brokers.

                         ARTICLE XXII.  Representatives

     22.1 Representatives: From time to time during the term of this Lease, the
Tenant and the Landlord shall each appoint an individual representative,

consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Assignor and Assignee agree as follows:

     1.   Assignor does hereby ASSIGN, SET OVER and DELIVER to Assignee, its
successors and assigns, all of landlord's/lessor's right, title and interest in
that certain Lease dated July 6, 1999, as amended by Amendment A dated as of
August 15, 1999 by and between Assignor, as landlord, and Hittite Microwave
Corporation ("Hittite"), as tenant (the "Hittite Lease"), together with any and
all refundable tenant security and other refundable deposits in landlord's/
lessor's possession with respect to said Hittite Lease as of the date of this
Agreement (collectively, the "Deposits"). A schedule of such Deposits is
attached as Exhibit B.

     2.   Assignee hereby assumes and hereby covenants and agrees to fully and
faithfully perform, observe and comply with all of the covenants, agreements,
conditions and other terms and provisions stated in the Hittite Lease which,
under the terms of the Hittite Lease, are to be performed, observed, and
complied with by the landlord from and after the date of this Agreement.
Assignee acknowledges that Assignee shall become solely responsible and liable
on the Hittite Lease as landlord thereunder from and after the date hereof and
Assignee hereby agrees to indemnify, release and hold Assignor harmless from
and against any and all claims pertaining to the Hittite Lease, arising from
events occurring from and after the date of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, claims made by Hittite with respect to the Deposit to the extent

     3.   This Assignment is made in connection with the Master Lease and on
the condition that in the event of any reversion of the Assignee's interest as
"Tenant" under the Master Lease to Assignor as "Landlord" under the Master
Lease, or its successor as the owner of
<PAGE>
the Property, then this Assignment shall be of no further force or effect
thereafter, and the Hittite Lease shall be automatically deemed reassigned to
Assignor. The Assignee shall cooperate in executing any reasonable agreement or
instrument confirming the effect of such reassignment. No such reassignment
shall relieve Assignee from its liabilities and obligations as the holder of the
interest of the landlord named under the Hittite Lease that arise during or with
respect to the period that Assignee holds such interest.

     4.  This Assignment shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the
successors, executors, administrators, legal representatives and assigns of the
parties hereto.

     5.  This Assignment shall be construed under and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

     6. This Assignment may be executed in two or more counterparts, and it
shall not be necessary that any one of the counterparts be executed by all of
the parties hereto. Each fully or partially executed counterpart shall be
deemed an original, but all of such counterparts taken together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

ALTA COMMITMENT NO. 32160
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 12 ELIZABETH DRIVE, CHELMSFORD, MASSACHUSETTS

FIRST AMERICAN TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, herein called the Company, for valuable
consideration, hereby commits to issue its policy or policies of title insurance
as identified in Schedule A, in favor of the proposed insured named in Schedule
A, as owner or mortgagee of real estate or interest covered hereby in the land
described or referred to in Schedule A, upon payment of the premiums and charges
therefor; all subject to the provisions of Schedules A and B and to the
Conditions and Stipulations hereof.

This Commitment shall be effective only when the identity of the proposed
insured and the amount of the policy or policies committed for have been
inserted in Schedule A hereof by the Company, either at the time of the issuance
of this Commitment or by subsequent endorsement.

This Commitment is preliminary to the issuance of such policy or policies of
title insurance and all liability and obligations hereunder shall cease and
terminate six (6) months after the effective date hereof or when the policy or
policies committed for shall issue, whichever first occurs, provided that the
failure to issue such policy or policies is not the fault of the Company.

This Commitment shall not be valid or binding until countersigned by an
authorized officer or agent of the Company.

                          CONDITIONS AND STIPULATIONS

1.   The term "mortgage", when used herein, shall include deed of trust, trust
     deed or other security instrument.

2.   If the proposed insured has or acquires knowledge of any defect, lien,
     encumbrance, adverse claim or other matter affecting the estate or interest
     or mortgage thereon covered by this Commitment other than those shown in
     Schedule B hereof, and shall fail to disclose such knowledge to the Company
     in writing, the Company shall be relieved from liability for any loss or
     damage resulting from any act of reliance hereon to the extent the Company
     is prejudiced by failure to so disclose such knowledge. If the proposed
     insured shall disclose such knowledge to the Company, or if the Company
     otherwise acquires, actual knowledge of any such defect, lien, encumbrance,
     adverse claim or other matter, the Company at its option may amend Schedule
     B of this Commitment accordingly, but such amendment shall not relieve the
     Company from liability previously incurred pursuant to paragraph 3 of these
     Conditions and Stipulations.

3.   Liability of the Company under this Commitment shall be only to the named
     proposed insured and such parties included under the definition of Insured
     in the form of policy or policies committed for and only for actual loss
     incurred in reliance hereon in undertaking in good faith (a) to comply with
     the requirements hereof, or (b) to eliminate exceptions shown in Schedule
     B, or (c) to acquire or create the estate or interest or mortgage thereon
     covered by this Commitment. In no event shall such liability exceed the
     amount stated in Schedule A for the policy or policies committed for and
     such liability is subject to the insuring provisions, exclusions from
     coverage, and the conditions and stipulations of the form of policy or
     policies committed for in favor of the proposed insured which are hereby
     incorporated by reference and are made a part of this commitment except as
     expressly modified herein.

4.   Any claim of loss or damage, whether or not based on negligence, and which
     arises out of the status of the title to the estate or interest or the lien
     of the insured mortgage covered hereby or any action asserting such claim,
     shall be restricted to the provisions and conditions and stipulations of
     this Commitment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Commitment has caused this Commitment to be signed and
sealed, to become valid when countersigned by an authorized officer or agent of
the Company, all in accordance with its By-Laws. This Commitment is effective as
of the date shown in Schedule A as "Effective Date".

                                   Exhibit D

                       Purchase Option Closing Procedures

Closing Date: The date (the "Closing Date") when the deed to the demised
premises shall be delivered and the Purchase Price shall be paid (the "Closing")
shall be the date elected by Tenant by written notice given not less than 30
days prior, and shall be no earlier than January 2, 2015, and no later than
September 30, 2015. The Closing shall take place at 10:00 a.m. on the Closing
Date at the demised premises or at such other location as the parties shall
agree in writing.

Seller's Deliveries: At the Closing, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant or its
nominee or assignee (i) a fully executed and acknowledged quitclaim deed
transferring fee simple title (which shall be a one hundred percent (100%)
ownership interest) in and to the demised premises, free and clear of all
encumbrances other than Approved Exceptions, as hereinafter defined, (ii) an
affidavit or certificate satisfying the requirements of Section 1445 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "FIRPTA Certificate"), (iii) such
certificates or other instruments (including but without limitation (x) an
affidavit that there are no tenants or other parties in possession of the
demised premises (other than Tenant and any parties claiming under Tenant) and
that Landlord has no knowledge of any work having been done at the demised
premises (other than by Tenant or any parties claiming under Tenant) which would
entitle anyone now or hereafter to claim a mechanics' or materialmen's lien on
the demised premises and (y) evidence of Landlord's authority as may be
reasonably required by Tenant) which are customary in like transactions in the
greater Boston area (including, if and to the extent applicable, an assignment
without warranty or representation of any other property rights of Landlord with
respect to the demised premises) and (iv) a 1099 tax reporting form.

Purchase Price: The "Purchase Price" for the demised premises shall be paid to
the Landlord at the Closing in cash or by wire transfer or certified funds
check.

Title: At the Closing, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant or, if Tenant so directs
by notice to Landlord at least three (3) days prior to Closing, to Tenant's
nominee or assignee, a good and sufficient quitclaim deed to the demised
premises, which shall convey good, record and marketable title to the demised
premises free and clear of all liens, municipal betterments, assessments,
easements, restrictions and encumbrances of any nature or description
whatsoever, except the following (the "Approved Exceptions"):

     i.   provisions of applicable building codes and zoning laws;

     ii.  liens for municipal betterments;

     iii. rights, easements, restrictions and other title matters of record
          which are set forth in the Title Commitment, and such other title
          matters arising after the date hereof which are consented to in
          writing by Tenant, created by Tenant or result from Tenant's failure
          to act; and

     iv.  the Lease (and the notice of lease with respect thereto) and parties
          in possession thereunder (i.e., only Tenant or any party claiming
          under Tenant).



<PAGE>
Registered Title. In addition to the foregoing, if the title to the demises
premises or any portion thereof is registered, the deed shall be in form
sufficient to entitle Tenant to a Certificate of Title for the demised
premises, and Landlord shall deliver with said deed all instruments, if any,
necessary to enable Tenant to obtain such Certificate of Title.

Lease: The Original Term of the Lease shall be extended beyond September 30,
2014 to the Closing Date and shall terminate as of the Closing, subject to any
undischarged obligation of either party thereunder which is by the terms thereof
to survive the termination thereof.

Use of Purchase Money to Clear Title: In order to enable Landlord to make
conveyance as herein provided, Landlord may, at Closing, use the Purchase Price
or any portion thereof to clear title of any or all encumbrances or adverse
interests, and all instruments required therefore shall be procured and recorded
simultaneously with the recording of Landlord's deed of the Property or
thereafter, provided other reasonably satisfactory arrangements for the
procuring and recording of such instruments are made at Closing.

Adjustments: The Purchase Price shall not be subject to any adjustment.

Closing Costs: Tenant shall pay all premiums for any and all title insurance
policies it may obtain with respect to the Property. All real estate transfer
taxes shall be borne by Landlord. All other costs and expenses, if any, shall
be borne by the respective parties in accordance with standard conveyancing
practices in the greater Boston area prevailing on the Closing Date for similar
transactions.

Remedies: If Landlord fails to fulfill obligation to convey the demised
premises to Tenant pursuant to the Purchase Option as provided in the Lease and
this Exhibit D, Tenant shall have the following rights and remedies, all of
which shall be cumulative except to the extent otherwise provided by applicable
law (it being understood that Tenant's right to obtain the remedy of specific
performance is conditioned upon payment in full to Landlord of the Purchase
Price hereunder):

(A) Seek specific performance of the Purchase Option (Landlord hereby
acknowledging that the demised premises are unique and, for that reason, among
others, Tenant will be irreparably damaged if the Purchase Option is not
specifically enforced. Accordingly, in the event of any breach or default of
the Purchase Option by Landlord, Landlord hereby irrevocably stipulates that
Tenant shall have, without prejudice to any right or remedy otherwise available
at law or in equity, the right to demand and have specific performance of the
Purchase Option);

(B) Seek actual damages provided that such damages shall not exceed One Million
and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000); or

(C) Seek a restraining order and/or injunction to prevent Landlord from selling
or encumbering or otherwise transferring the Property to any other party.

In the event of Landlord's default of its obligations under the Purchase
Option, Tenant at all times shall have the right to continue its use and
occupancy of the Property pursuant to the Lease until resolution of Landlord's
default.
