time.

         Section 2.3 Parking. Subject to the rights of BAE until the Second
Expansion Delivery Date, Tenant Invitees are authorized to park passenger
automobiles in the Parking Areas. Until the Second Expansion Delivery Date,
Tenant shall not (a) permit any Tenant Invitees (other than visitors) to park in
spaces designated as "visitor" spaces, (b) permit any Tenant Invitees to park in
spaces designated as "reserved" spaces for BAE pursuant to BAE's lease, and (c)
except for delivery trucks using designated loading and unloading facilities,
permit any Tenant Invitee to park any vehicle on Landlord's Property other than
passenger automobiles. Subject to (i) the rights of BAE until the Second
Expansion Delivery Date, and (ii) Legal Requirements (including but not limited
to Legal Requirements applicable to the Permitted Use), Tenant may restripe the
Parking Areas and reconfigure the parking spaces within the Parking Areas and,
to the extent necessary to use the Premises in compliance with Legal
Requirements, and subject to

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

compliance with Section 7.5 (without regard to Permitted Alterations as defined
in Section 7.5), expand or construct additional Parking Areas, whether
structured parking or otherwise, on Landlord's Property; provided, however, that
if, under the terms of any mortgage on Landlord's Property, the consent of the
mortgagee is required as a condition of expanding or constructing any additional
Parking Areas, such expansion or construction shall be subject to such
mortgagee's consent, but Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain such consent. With respect to any future mortgage on Landlord's Property,
Landlord will negotiate in good faith to attempt to include a provision to the
effect that the mortgagee will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the
expansion or construction of additional Parking Areas.

         Section 2.4 Commencement Date; Lease Term; Rights to Extend.

                  (a)      The Lease Term shall commence at 12:01 A.M. on the
Commencement Date and, unless Tenant timely and properly exercises its right to
extend pursuant to Section 2.4(b), shall end at 11:59 P.M. on the last day of
the Initial Term.

                  (b)      Provided there then exists no uncured Event of
Default, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term for two (2)
periods of ten (10) years each by giving Landlord written notice exercising such
extension, which notice must be received by Landlord not more than eighteen (18)
months nor less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the
Initial Term or then current Extension Term, as applicable. If such notice is
timely and properly given, the Lease Term shall be automatically extended upon
the same terms and conditions except that (i) Base Rent for each Lease Year of
an Extension Term shall be one hundred three percent (103%) of the Base Rent for
the immediately preceding Lease Year, and (ii) there shall be no further right
to extend or renew beyond the periods expressly set forth herein.

         Section 2.5 Security Deposit.

                  (a)      Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of
this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Security Deposit, which shall
be in the form of cash or a letter of credit which satisfies the conditions of
Section 2.5(b) ("Letter of Credit").

                  (b)      If the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of
Credit, such Letter of Credit must satisfy all of the following conditions: (i)
the Letter of Credit must be in the exact form attached hereto as Exhibit F or
otherwise reasonably approved by Landlord with an expiration date not less than
one (1) year after the date of the Letter of Credit; (ii) the beneficiary of the
Letter of Credit must be Landlord or Landlord's designee; (iii) the Letter of
Credit must be irrevocable, unconditional and transferable one or more times
without charge; (iv) the Letter of Credit must by issued by Fleet National Bank
or another Massachusetts bank satisfactory to Landlord in its sole and absolute
discretion; and (v) the Letter of Credit must provide that it may be drawn at a
location in Boston, Massachusetts. If, at any time, the issuer of the Letter of
Credit gives notice of its election not to renew, extend and/or reissue the
Letter of Credit, then Tenant shall, on or before forty-five (45) days prior to
the expiration of the term of the Letter of Credit, deliver to Landlord (1) a
replacement Letter of Credit satisfying all of the above conditions or (2) cash
in the full amount of the expiring Letter of Credit; and if Tenant fails to
timely deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit as provided above or
cash in the full amount of the expiring Letter of Credit, such failure shall
constitute a payment failure under Section 12.1(a) and, in addition to any other
rights which Landlord might have by reason of such payment failure, Landlord may
draw on the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds of such drawing as the
Security Deposit. If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit and holds the
proceeds of such drawing as the Security Deposit under the immediately preceding
sentence, then, as long as there exists no uncured Event of Default, Tenant may
provide a replacement Letter of Credit in the amount of the Security Deposit
which satisfies the conditions of this Section 2.5(b), whereupon Landlord will
release the cash Security Deposit to Tenant. If (x) Landlord shall reasonably
determine that there has been a material adverse change in the creditworthiness
of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit and Tenant shall fail, within ten (10)
days after notice, to either provide a replacement Letter of Credit as provided
above or cash in the full amount of the existing Letter of Credit, or (y) Tenant
fails to provide Landlord with cash in the full amount of the Letter of Credit
within ten (10) days after notice

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

to Tenant that (I) any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, receivership or
any insolvency law are instituted with the issuer of the Letter of Credit as
debtor or (II) the bank issuing the Letter of Credit is taken over by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Resolution Trust Corporation or a
similar entity, then such failure by Tenant under clauses (x) or (y) of this
sentence shall constitute an Event of Default and, in addition to any other
rights which Landlord might have by reason of such Event of Default, Landlord
may draw on the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds of such drawing as part
of the Security Deposit.

                  (c)      The Security Deposit is security for the faithful
performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Lease and is not an advance payment of rent. It is agreed that if an Event
of Default occurs, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of
the Security Deposit to the extent required for payment of any Base Rent,
Additional Rent, or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default or for any
sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, including, but not limited to, any damage or
deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by
Landlord, including the costs of such proceeding or re-entry and further
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees. It is agreed that
Landlord shall always have the right to apply the Security Deposit, or any part
thereof, as aforesaid, without additional notice and without prejudice to any
other remedy or remedies which Landlord may have, or Landlord may pursue any
other such remedy or remedies in lieu of applying the Security Deposit or any
part thereof. No interest shall be payable on the Security Deposit and Landlord
shall have the right to commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of
Landlord. If Landlord shall apply the Security Deposit in whole or in part,
Tenant shall immediately upon demand pay to Landlord the amount so applied to
restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Because (i) Tenant's Share
of (A) Taxes, (B) Insurance Costs and (C) Operating Costs, (ii) Tenant's
Electricity Costs and (iii) Other Additional Rent may be subject to annual
reconciliation based on actual amounts determined to be due, in addition to the
other rights provided herein to Landlord regarding the Security Deposit,
Landlord shall have the right, in its discretion, upon the end of the Lease and
delivery of the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof, to hold a
reasonable portion of the Security Deposit (or whatever amount remains after
Landlord exercises its other rights hereunder) until fifteen (15) days after
such reconciliation, at which time Landlord has the right to deduct any amounts
then determined to be due from the remaining Security Deposit and return any
balance of the Security Deposit to Tenant. If the remaining Security Deposit, if
any, is not sufficient to pay Tenant's obligations hereunder, Tenant shall pay
the same within ten (10) days of billing from Landlord. In the event of a sale
or other transfer of Landlord's Property, or leasing of the entire Landlord's
Property including the Premises subject to Tenant's tenancy hereunder, Landlord
shall transfer the Security Deposit then remaining to the vendee or lessee, in
which event Landlord shall thereupon be released from all liability for the
return of such Security Deposit to Tenant; and Tenant agrees to look solely to
the new landlord for the return of the Security Deposit then remaining. Tenant
further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or
encumber the Security Deposit and that neither Landlord nor its successors or
assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment
or attempted encumbrance.

         Section 2.6 Measurement. Either party may, by written notice given to
the other during the period of ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date
and/or during the period of ninety (90) days after the First Expansion Date,
request an actual measurement of the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, in
which event Landlord's Architect shall make the requested measurement in
accordance with BOMA standards and such measurement shall be used for purposes
of this Lease until the Second Expansion Rent Commencement Date. If a
measurement pursuant to this Section 2.6 results in an adjustment in the
Leasable Square Footage of the Premises from that set forth in Item 3C of the
Summary of Basic Terms, such adjustment shall be made retroactive to the
Commencement Date (if the measurement is made within ninety (90) days after the
Commencement Date) or the First Expansion Date (if the measurement is made
within ninety (90) days after the First Expansion Date). If such adjustment is
an increase in the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the retroactive increase in Base Rent and Additional Rent within ten
(10) Business Days after Landlord invoices Tenant therefor. If such adjustment
is a decrease in the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, Tenant may credit
the overpayment of Base Rent and Additional Rent resulting from the retroactive
decrease in Base Rent and Additional Rent against the installments of Base Rent
and Additional Rent next coming due.

         Section 2.7 Lease Amendment. If, pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.6, 8.1 or
11.1 or any other provision of this Lease, there results a change in (or, in the
case of the Second Expansion Delivery Date, the confirmation of) any of the
terms or amounts in the Summary of Basic Terms (including, without limitation,
the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, Base Rent, or Tenant's Share) then
in effect, Landlord and Tenant will promptly execute a written amendment to, and
restatement of, the Summary of Basic Terms, substituting the changed (or
confirmed) terms and recomputed amounts in lieu of each of the applicable terms
and amounts then in effect which have been changed. As of the effective date of
the amendment to the Summary of Basic Terms, the changed terms (and recomputed
amounts) will be effective for all purposes of this Lease, and the amended and
restated Summary of Basic Terms will be a part of, and incorporated into, this
Lease.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                      WORK

         Section 3.1 Base Building Work.

         (a)      Landlord shall perform the Base Building Work in a good and
workmanlike manner using new, first class materials, in accordance with all
Legal Requirements, and substantially in accordance with the Base Building
Plans. Landlord reserves the right to make changes in the Base Building Work
from time to time as Landlord deems necessary and/or appropriate in order to
complete the performance of the Base Building Work. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Landlord may substitute materials to minimize
delays and Landlord may make such changes to the Base Building Plans as Landlord
deems necessary or appropriate in light of actual conditions, provided that no
such changes or substitutions of materials shall decrease the quality of the
materials, fixtures and devices used in the Base Building Work.

         (b)      Landlord shall achieve Partial Completion (with respect to
both the Original Premises and the First Additional Premises) not later than
January 10, 2003, subject to extension for delays beyond the reasonable control
of Landlord. After Landlord achieves Partial Completion of the Base Building
Work and Tenant commences Tenant's Work, Landlord will cause its contractor to
coordinate the continuing performance of the Base Building Work with the
performance of Tenant's Work in order that Tenant's Work may proceed
continuously and without material interference.

         (c)      Landlord shall achieve Substantial Completion not later than
the Commencement Date. Tenant's taking possession of the Premises for purposes
of conducting Tenant's business shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant,
that Landlord has achieved Substantial Completion, in substantial accordance
with the Base Building Plans when Tenant took possession, except for punch list
items on a list signed by both parties within thirty (30) days after Substantial
Completion. Landlord shall complete all punch list items within thirty (30) days
after the date of the punch list. Landlord warrants to Tenant that the Base
Building Work shall be free from defects in workmanship and materials. Tenant
shall deemed to have waived any claim under such warranty except for such
matters of which Tenant advises Landlord in writing on or before the first
anniversary of the Commencement Date. Except for the warranty specifically set
forth above in this Section 3.1(c), Landlord disclaims any and all warranties
with respect to the Base Building Work. Landlord shall assign to Tenant any
warranties made by contractors or material suppliers to or for the benefit of
Landlord with respect to the Base Building Work, including but not limited to
any warranty made to or for the benefit of Landlord with respect to the roof of
the Building.

         Section 3.2 Amenities Work. Not later than the Commencement Date,
Landlord shall perform the Amenities Work in a good and workmanlike manner using
new, first class materials, in accordance with all Legal Requirements, and
substantially in accordance with plans submitted to and approved by Tenant
(which approval Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay). The
parties intend that the level and finishes of the Amenities Work shall be that
customary for similar types of amenities in suburban office buildings of a type
and character similar to the Building in the Boston area. Landlord reserves the
right to make changes in the Amenities Work from time to time as Landlord deems
necessary and/or appropriate in order to complete the performance of the
Amenities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may
substitute materials to minimize delays and Landlord may make such changes to

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

the plans as Landlord deems necessary or appropriate in light of actual
conditions, provided that no such changes or substitutions of materials shall
decrease the quality of the materials, fixtures and devices used in the
Amenities Work. Landlord will coordinate the performance of the Amenities Work
with the performance of Tenant's Work in order that Tenant's Work may proceed
continuously and without material interference. Tenant's taking possession of
the Amenities Work for their intended purposes shall be conclusive evidence, as
against Tenant, that Landlord has completed the Amenities Work in accordance
with this Lease, except for punch list items on a list signed by both parties
within thirty (30) days after delivery of possession. Landlord shall complete
all punch list items within thirty (30) days after the date of the punch list.
Landlord warrants to Tenant that the Amenities Work shall be free from defects
in workmanship and materials. Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any claim
under such warranty except for such matters of which Tenant advises Landlord in
writing on or before the first anniversary of the Commencement Date. Except for
the warranty specifically set forth above in this Section 3.2, Landlord
disclaims any and all warranties with respect to the Amenities Work. Landlord
shall assign to Tenant any warranties made by contractors or material suppliers
to or for the benefit of Landlord with respect to the Amenities Work.

         Section 3.3 Tenant's Work; Pre-Term Occupancy.

         (a)      Tenant Improvements Plans.

                  (i)      Tenant will prepare and submit to Landlord for review
and approval final working plans and specifications for the build-out of the
Premises, taking into account the Landlord's Work to be performed by Landlord.
Within ten (10) days after receipt of the Tenant Improvements Plans, Landlord
shall, by written notice to Tenant, approve or disapprove the Tenant
Improvements Plans. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay
its approval of any Tenant Improvements Plans, and in any disapproval of the
Tenant Improvements Plans, Landlord shall specify in reasonable detail the
respects in which the Tenant Improvements Plans are not satisfactory to
Landlord. After receiving any notice of disapproval from Landlord with respect
to the Tenant Improvements Plans, Tenant may revise the Tenant Improvements
Plans to satisfy the reasonable concerns of Landlord and resubmit the revised
Tenant Improvements Plans to Landlord for review and approval in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Section. Tenant may, from time to time
thereafter, make changes in the Tenant Improvements Plans only with the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.

                  (ii)     Tenant shall be fully responsible for the compliance
of the Tenant Improvements Plans with all Legal Requirements and for assuring
that the Tenant Improvements Plans provide for Tenant's Work that will be in
compliance with all Legal Requirements and will satisfy Tenant's requirements.
Landlord's approval of the Tenant Improvements Plans shall not, and shall not be
deemed to, be a certification, representation, or warranty by Landlord that the
Tenant Improvements Plans are adequate, complete, or in compliance with Legal
Requirements.

                  (iii)    Landlord may, as reasonably necessary, have
Landlord's Architect and/or one or more engineers selected by Landlord: (A)
review the Tenant Improvements Plans and/or any proposed changes therein and/or
(B) inspect Tenant's Work. All reasonable fees and charges of Landlord's
Architect and/or any such engineers in connection with any such reviews and/or
inspections shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent within fifteen (15) days
after Tenant is billed therefor. All such reviews and inspections shall be for
the sole benefit of Landlord and neither Landlord nor Landlord's Architect
and/or engineers shall have any liability or obligation to Tenant or any other
Person with respect to Tenant's Work or the performance thereof.

         (b)      Performance of Tenant's Work. Tenant shall be fully
responsible for the performance of Tenant's Work. Tenant shall be responsible
for, and shall pay on or before the dates when due, all costs and expenses
related to Tenant's Work, including, but not limited to, architects' and
engineers' fees and charges, permits and other governmental fees and charges and
all direct and/or indirect construction costs. The contractor(s) performing
Tenant's Work shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord
hereby

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

approves any of Sasso, John Moriarty & Associates, Shawmut Design &
Construction, Turner Construction or The Richmond Company as a contractor to
perform Tenant's Work. Tenant may commence Tenant's Work after Landlord has
achieved Partial Completion. All of Tenant's Work shall be done in a good and
workmanlike manner using new and high quality materials, in accordance with the
provisions of all Legal Requirements and insurance requirements applicable
thereto and in accordance with the requirements of Section 7.5. Tenant shall at
its sole cost and expense do all work necessary and take all other steps
required in order to obtain and maintain a certificate of occupancy for such
portions of the Premises as Tenant intends to occupy from time to time;
provided, however, that Landlord shall be responsible for compliance of
Landlord's Work with Legal Requirements. Landlord may conduct such inspections
of Tenant's Work as Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines. In addition to
amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(iii), Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the sum of 2.5% of the cost of Tenant's Work to compensate Landlord for its time
and expenses in connection with the inspection and review of Tenant's Work (such
amount to be paid monthly based upon costs incurred); provided, however, that
the maximum amount that Tenant shall be required to pay to Landlord under this
sentence shall be $250,000. All such inspections and reviews are for the sole
benefit of Landlord and Landlord shall have no liability or obligation to Tenant
or any other Person with respect to Tenant's Work or the performance thereof.

         (c)      Pre-Term Occupancy. Tenant may enter Landlord's Property prior
to the Commencement Date at Tenant's own risk solely for the purpose of planning
and performing Tenant's Work and otherwise preparing the Premises for occupancy
by Tenant and installing fixtures and equipment; provided, however, that at all
times that both Landlord's Work and Tenant's Work are ongoing, Tenant shall
cooperate reasonably with Landlord in Landlord's efforts to coordinate the
performance of the Base Building Work and the Amenities Work with the
performance of Tenant's Work in accordance with Sections 3.1(b) and 3.2. During
the period of any entry by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date pursuant to
this Section, Tenant shall be subject to the insurance obligations set forth in
Sections 7.8 and 7.9 and to all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease,
other than the obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent, and, prior to
any such entry by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall furnish
Landlord with a certificate of insurance confirming its procurement of the
insurance required by Sections 7.8 and 7.9.

         (d)      Applicability. The provisions of Sections 3.3(a), (b) and (c)
are applicable to the Original Premises, the First Additional Premises and the
Second Additional Premises.

         Section 3.4 Signs. Tenant shall have the right to erect one (1) sign
on the exterior of the Building provided that such sign complies with the
provisions of this Section 3.4 and other applicable provisions of this Lease.
The sign's location, design, shape, size, materials, color and type and all
other matters related to such sign (other than Tenant's right to erect a sign)
shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which Landlord will not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, following submission by Tenant to
Landlord of detailed plans and specifications therefor. Except for the one sign
permitted pursuant to the preceding three sentences, Tenant shall not erect any
signs which are visible from the exterior of the Building. Tenant shall not
erect signs except in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Town of
Lexington and all other applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall be solely
responsible for confirming that any proposed sign is in compliance with all such
requirements. Tenant understands that, prior to the Second Expansion Date, BAE
may have rights to erect signs on or visible from the exterior of the Building.
All costs of obtaining permits and approvals, creating, installing,
illuminating, maintaining, repairing, and/or replacing such sign shall be paid
by Tenant. Any signs located in the interior of the Building shall comply with
all applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall maintain its signs, if any, in
good repair and condition. In addition, Tenant may, at its sole cost and
expense, place a sign board identifying Tenant on the existing sign post located
at the intersection of Route 2A and Forbes Road, subject to applicable Legal
Requirements and the rights of other Persons. Any such sign board shall be
consistent in size, color and appearance with other sign boards placed on such
sign post. Tenant acknowledges that the sign post is not part of Landlord's
Property and that Landlord makes no representations, warranties or commitments
of any kind regarding Tenant's right to place and/or maintain any sign board
thereon. At the end of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

promptly remove all exterior signage placed on the Building and/or sign post and
restore all damage related to the installation, existence and/or removal of such
signage.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                           BASE RENT; ADDITIONAL RENT

         Section 4.1 Base Rent. In consideration of the lease of the Premises
pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall pay therefor Base Rent in the amounts set
forth in Item 9 of the Summary of Basic Terms. Base Rent for each Lease Year
shall be payable in equal monthly installments and shall be paid without offset
for any reason, except as herein expressly provided, in advance, on the first
day of each calendar month during the Lease Term commencing on the Commencement
Date. If the Commencement Date is not on the first day of a calendar month,
Tenant shall pay, on or before the Commencement Date, a proportionate part of
the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the month in which the Commencement Date
occurs based upon the annual Base Rent and Additional Rent applicable to the
first Lease Year, divided by 360 and then multiplied by the number of days in
such month (including the Commencement Date) included in the Lease Term. Base
Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid by an "electronic funds transfer" system
arranged by and among Tenant, Tenant's bank and Landlord, or in such other
manner as Landlord shall from time to time designate in writing. The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that the obligations owing by Tenant under this
Section 4.1 are rent reserved under this Lease, for all purposes hereunder, and
are rent reserved within the meaning of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code
or any successor provision thereto.

         Section 4.2 Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay, without offset for any
reason, except as herein expressly provided, all payments of Additional Rent
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay any Additional
Rent, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies for failure to pay Base
Rent. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the obligations owing by
Tenant under this Section 4.2 are rent reserved under this Lease, for all
purposes hereunder, and are rent reserved within the meaning of Section
502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision thereto.

         Section 4.3 Net Lease. Landlord and Tenant intend that the rent payable
under this Lease shall be net Base Rent and Additional Rent to Landlord as
described herein during the Lease Term. Landlord and Tenant have attempted in
this Lease to set forth their respective responsibilities for all costs of
owning, operating, maintaining, repairing, replacing and rebuilding Landlord's
Property, with Landlord to be responsible for the costs of Landlord's Work, the
costs of Landlord's Restoration Work, the costs of remediation of contamination
by Hazardous Materials which is the responsibility of Landlord pursuant to
Section 6.6(a), the costs excluded from Operating Costs under items (c), (d),
(f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (l), (m), (n) and (p) of the definition of Operating
Costs, and any other costs which are the responsibility of Landlord under the
terms of this Lease, and Tenant to be responsible for Tenant's Share of Taxes,
Insurance Costs and Operating Costs, Tenant's Electricity Costs, other utility
costs, the costs of Tenant's Work, the costs of maintaining and repairing the
Premises, the costs of any alterations or additions to the Premises, the costs
of liability insurance, the costs of insurance with respect to Tenant's Work or
any alterations or additions to the Premises, the costs of Tenant's Restoration
Work, the costs of remediation of contamination by Hazardous Materials which is
the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to Section 7.7, and any other costs which
are the responsibility of Tenant under the terms of this Lease. The parties
intend that neither party is to be responsible to the other for the costs of
remediation of contamination by Hazardous Materials except as herein provided.
In the event that this Lease does not expressly assign responsibility for any
particular cost of owning, operating, maintaining, repairing, replacing or
rebuilding Landlord's Property to Landlord or Tenant, then such cost shall be
assigned to, or allocated as between, Landlord and/or Tenant in accordance with
customary practice in the Boston area for single-user building net leases
similar to this Lease. In the further event that Landlord and Tenant are unable
to agree as to the assignment or allocation of responsibility for any particular
cost under the immediately preceding sentence, then, at the written request of
either party, such assignment or allocation shall be determined by arbitration
pursuant to Section 14.2.

                                      -13-

         Section 4.4 Taxes.

                  (a)      Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an
amount equal to Tenant's Share of Taxes. Tenant's Share of Taxes shall be
estimated in good faith by Landlord at the beginning of each Tax Fiscal Year,
and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in equal estimated monthly
installments together with the payment of Base Rent, subject to readjustment
when the actual amount of Taxes is determined. After readjustment, any shortage
shall be due and payable by Tenant within 15 days of demand by Landlord and any
excess shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred, be credited against
Additional Rent obligations next coming due, or refunded if the Lease Term has
ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord. If the taxing authority
provides an estimated tax bill, then monthly installments of Taxes shall be
based thereon until the final tax bill is ascertained. Landlord shall furnish to
Tenant, upon receipt, a copy of any tax bill or any estimated tax bill.

                  (b)      If, after Tenant shall have made any payment under
this Section 4.4, Landlord shall, as a result of an abatement of Taxes, by final
determination of legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise, receive a refund
(the "Refund") of any portion of the Taxes paid on account of any Tax Fiscal
Year in which such payments shall have been made Landlord shall, within thirty
(30) days after receiving the Refund, pay to Tenant (unless there then exists an
uncured Event of Default) an amount equal to Tenant's Share of the Refund, which
payment to Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted if Tenant's Share of Taxes
covered a shorter period than covered by the Refund.

                  (c)      Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's cost, to
pursue an abatement, reduction or contest of Taxes, provided that (i) Tenant
shall give Landlord the opportunity, at Landlord's sole expense, to participate
to such extent as Landlord may desire in such proceedings, and (ii) Tenant will
not settle any such proceedings without the written consent of Landlord, which
Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. Subject to the
foregoing, Tenant shall have control of all tax abatement proceedings.

                  (d)      If the Commencement Date is not on July 1, or the
expiration or termination of this Lease is not on June 30, Tenant's obligation
in respect of Taxes shall be prorated. If the final tax bill for the Tax Fiscal
Year in which such expiration or termination of this Lease occurs shall not have
been received by Landlord, then within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the
tax bill for such Tax Fiscal Year, Landlord and Tenant shall make appropriate
adjustments of estimated payments.

                  (e)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Tenant shall pay all rent and personal property taxes attributable to its signs
or any other personal property including but not limited to its trade fixtures,
the existing or any future floor coverings, wall treatments and light fixtures
in the Premises.

         Section 4.5 Insurance Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenant's Share of Insurance Costs. Tenant's
Share of Insurance Costs shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end
of each calendar year, and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in equal
estimated monthly installments, together with the Base Rent, subject to
readjustment from time to time as reasonably determined by Landlord and also
when actual Insurance Costs are determined. After a readjustment, any shortage
shall be due and payable by Tenant within 15 days of demand by Landlord and any
excess shall, unless there then exists an uncured Event of Default, be credited
against Additional Rent obligations next coming due, or refunded if the Lease
Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord. Landlord shall
provide Tenant upon request with reasonable supporting documentation for the
Insurance Costs for the prior calendar year; provided that such request is
received by Landlord within six (6) months after the end of the calendar year to
which such Insurance Costs relate.

         Section 4.6 Operating Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
Additional Rent, amounts equal to Tenant's Share of Operating Costs. Tenant's
Share of Operating Costs shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end
of each calendar year, and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in equal
estimated monthly installments, together with the Base Rent, subject to
readjustment from time to time as determined by Landlord and also when actual
Operating Costs are determined. After a readjustment, any

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within 15 days of demand by Landlord
and any excess shall, unless there then exists an uncured Event of Default, be
credited against Additional Rent obligations next coming due, or refunded if the
Lease Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord.

         Section 4.7 Payment for Electricity. Landlord shall cause the Premises
to be separately metered or submetered for electrical use including, without
limitation, with respect to all variable air volume ("VAV") boxes and
pre-heaters, HVAC equipment and systems, lighting and outlets serving the
Premises. If the Premises are separately metered or submetered such that the
utility provider bills Tenant directly for Tenant's Electricity Costs, Tenant
shall pay Tenant's Electricity Costs directly to the utility provider promptly
as due and payable. If the Premises are separately metered or submetered such
that the utility provider bills Landlord for electric service provided to the
Building and Landlord bills Tenant for Tenant's Electricity Costs, Tenant shall
pay Landlord's bills for Tenant's Electricity Costs within ten (10) days after
receipt, it being intended that, if Landlord bills Tenant for Tenant's
Electricity Costs promptly after receipt of the bill of the utility provider,
and Tenant pays Landlord's bill for Tenant's Electricity Costs within ten (10)
days after receipt, Landlord will receive payment of Tenant's Electricity Costs
prior to the time that Landlord is required to pay the corresponding bill of the
utility provider; provided, however, that if the timing of such billing and
payment cycle is not such as will result in Landlord receiving payment of
Tenant's Electricity Costs prior to the time that Landlord is required to pay
the corresponding bill of the utility provider, Landlord may bill Tenant monthly
for Tenant's Electricity Costs on an estimated basis, with periodic
reconciliation of overpayments and underpayments of actual Tenant's Electricity
Costs.

         Section 4.8 Tenant's Audit Rights. Annually, not later than the date
120 days after the end of each calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord
shall furnish to Tenant a report setting forth in reasonable detail the
Operating Costs, Insurance Costs, and Taxes for the immediately preceding
calendar year (in the case of Operating Costs and Insurance Costs) or Tax Fiscal
Year (in the case of Taxes). Tenant shall have the right to audit Landlord's
books and records relating to Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and/or Taxes with
respect to the period covered by each such report within two (2) years after
receipt of such report (such two (2) year period being called the "Audit
Period") by delivering a notice of its intention to perform such audit to
Landlord. Any such audit shall be performed at Landlord's office in Needham,
Massachusetts, and Landlord shall make such books and records available within
ten (10) Business Days after receiving Tenant's written notice. If, as a result
of such audit, Tenant believes that it is entitled to receive a refund of any
Additional Rent paid by Tenant in respect of Operating Costs, Insurance Costs
and/or Taxes, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, no later than thirty (30) days
after expiration of the Audit Period, a notice demanding such a refund, together
with a statement of the grounds for each such demand and the amount of each
proposed refund. If, as a result of such audit, it is established that the
Additional Rent charged to Tenant for the period in question was overstated,
Landlord shall refund to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such overstatement
is established the amount of the overstatement; and, if the Additional Rent was
overstated by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall pay Tenant interest on
the refund at the Applicable Rate from the payment of the overstated amount by
Tenant to the date of the refund. The cost of any such audit shall be paid by
Tenant, except that, if it is established that the Additional Rent charged to
Tenant for the period in question was overstated by more than five percent (5%),
the reasonable cost of such audit shall be paid or reimbursed to Tenant by
Landlord. An overstatement shall not be deemed to exist due to a Refund. Any
audit shall be performed by either (a) Tenant's regular employees, (b) an
independent accounting firm whose compensation is not, directly or indirectly,
contingent in whole or in part on the results of the audit, or (c) an attorney
or independent consultant retained by Tenant whose compensation is not, directly
or indirectly, contingent in whole or in part on the results of the audit. If
Landlord determines that a report previously furnished by Landlord was in error,
Landlord may furnish a corrective or supplemental report to Tenant, and if such
corrective or supplemental report results in increased Additional Rent, the
Audit Period for the year covered by such report shall be extended for one (1)
year after Landlord furnishes the corrective or supplemental report.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord has not billed Tenant on account of
any Operating Cost, Insurance Cost or Taxes on or before the date two (2) years
after the end of the calendar year in which such cost was incurred by Landlord,
then Landlord shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any obligation on the
part of Tenant to pay for such cost, provided that such two (2) year period
shall be extended for such period of time, if any, that delay in billing by
Landlord is attributable to a delay in Landlord's receipt of a bill from a third
party.

                                 USE OF PREMISES

         Section 5.1 Permitted Use. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises
for any purpose other than the Permitted Use. Landlord will cooperate with
Tenant in pursuing any change in zoning, any variance, special permit or other
similar relief and any permit or approval with respect to Landlord's Property as
Tenant reasonably requires to allow a Permitted Use, and, at Tenant's request
and cost, will sign applications in connection therewith in its capacity as fee
simple owner of Landlord's Property; provided, however, that Landlord shall not
be required to sign any application for a change in zoning which, under the
terms of any mortgage on Landlord's Property, would require the consent of the
mortgagee, without the consent of the mortgagee, but Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent. With respect to any
future mortgage on Landlord's Property, Landlord will negotiate in good faith to
attempt to include a provision to the effect that the mortgagee will not
unreasonably withhold its consent to a change in zoning to permit a Permitted
Use.

         Section 5.2 Restrictions on Use. Tenant shall use the Premises in a
careful, safe and proper manner, shall not commit or suffer any waste on or
about Landlord's Property, and shall not make any use of Landlord's Property
which is prohibited by or contrary to any Legal Requirements, or which would
cause a public or private nuisance. Tenant shall comply with and obey all Legal
Requirements which in any way affect the use of Landlord's Property. Tenant, at
its own expense, shall obtain any and all permits, approvals and licenses
necessary for use of the Premises, except that Landlord shall obtain all
building permits and approvals required for the performance of Landlord's Work.
Tenant shall not overload the floors or other structural parts of the Building;
and shall not commit or suffer any act or thing on Landlord's Property which is
illegal or which unreasonably disturbs BAE. Tenant shall not do or permit to be
done any act or thing on Landlord's Property which will invalidate or be in
conflict with any insurance policies covering Landlord's Property. If, due to
any use of the Premises or activity of Tenant in or about Landlord's Property,
the Insurance Costs are increased, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such
increase caused by the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this
Section. Tenant shall cause any fire lanes located on Landlord's Property to be
kept free of all parking associated with its business or occupancy and in
compliance with all applicable regulations. Tenant acknowledges that BAE may
maintain, during the term of its lease, a "clean room" in its premises, which
clean room may be designed and constructed to maintain an atmosphere free from
any dust, noise, light and/or other external stimuli which might interfere with
BAE's research and development operations therein ("Clean Room Operations").
Tenant shall refrain from causing any unusual noise, vibrations, dust or other
conditions which may interfere with BAE's Clean Room Operations, including
during the performance of the Tenant Improvements Work. Tenant will coordinate
Tenant's Work with BAE to minimize disruptions, including using diligent efforts
to coordinate Tenant's Work that could result in vibrations, dust, utility
outages or noise that might affect BAE's Clean Room Operations. Provided BAE
informs Tenant of BAE's critical testing schedule periods, Tenant will use
diligent efforts to schedule Tenant's Work to avoid such critical testing
periods, to the extent practicable without materially extending the schedule for
the completion of Tenant's Work.

         Section 5.3 Hazardous Materials. Tenant in its use of the Premises
will not use, store, discharge, release, or permit the presence of any Hazardous
Materials on Landlord's Property, except in a manner and in quantities
customarily incidental to and consistent with the Permitted Use(s) and in
compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                               LANDLORD'S SERVICES

         Section 6.1 Landlord's Services. Landlord shall furnish to the Building
the services set forth below in this Section 6.1, subject to the conditions
stated in this Lease. The cost of certain of these services are to be (i) paid
by Tenant, as provided in this Lease, or (ii) included in Operating Costs,
Insurance Costs or Taxes, as applicable.

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

                  (a)      Exterior of Building and Mechanical Elements.
Landlord shall keep the exterior of the Building in good condition and repair
the exterior and mechanical elements of the Building, including the roof, and
the utility lines and systems outside the Building (except to the extent those
utility lines or systems are the property or responsibility of the applicable
utility company). Landlord will make any changes in the Base Building Work
required by any changes in Legal Requirements after the date of this Lease.

                  (b)      Systems. Subject to Tenant's obligations under
Section 7.4, Landlord shall operate, maintain and repair the HVAC system, the
plumbing system and the electrical system of the Building. Landlord shall
provide HVAC services to the Premises to heat and cool the Premises at
temperatures in accordance with ASHRAE standards.

                  (c)      Water and Sewer. Cold and hot water at standard
Building temperatures will be available for ordinary drinking, cleaning,
sanitary and lavatory purposes. If Tenant requires or uses water for any purpose
in addition to such ordinary purposes, Landlord may install a water meter at
Tenant's expense and thereby measure Tenant's water consumption. Tenant shall
pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, on demand the cost of all water consumption so
metered, including without limitation any and all sewer rents, taxes or levies
assessed by any governmental authority or utility in connection with metered
consumption. Such meter and installation equipment shall be maintained in good
working order and repair at Tenant's expense.

                  (d)      Elevator. Landlord will maintain two (2) automatic
operatorless elevators in operation in the Building.

                  (e)      Exterior. Landlord shall maintain and keep the
portions of Landlord's Property outside of the Building in good condition and
repair.

                  (f)      Taxes. Landlord shall pay all Taxes levied upon or
with respect to the Landlord's Property.

                  (g)      Insurance. Landlord shall procure and maintain in
full force and effect so-called "all risk" fire, casualty and extended coverage
insurance with respect to Landlord's Property, with vandalism and malicious
mischief endorsements and replacement cost coverage, liability insurance with
respect to Landlord's Property, and rent loss insurance, all in such amounts,
with such deductibles and with such other insurance upon or with respect to
Landlord's Property as is consistent with insurance maintained by landlords of
properties of a type and character comparable to Landlord's Property in the
Boston area or otherwise required by Landlord's lender consistent with the
customary practices of institutional lenders. However, Landlord will not
maintain "all risk" fire, casualty and extended coverage insurance with respect
to the improvements to the Premises constructed by Tenant pursuant to Section
3.3 or Section 7.5, which insurance will be maintained by Tenant as provided in
Section 7.9.

         Section 6.2 Tenant's Rights Regarding Services. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 6.1 to the contrary, Tenant may, at Tenant's option
exercisable by written notice given by Tenant to Landlord from time to time, (a)
at Tenant's sole cost and expense, assume from Landlord the performance of any
of the services to be provided by Landlord pursuant to Section 6.1(a)-(e), in
which event Landlord shall have no obligation to Tenant for such assumed
services and Tenant shall be responsible for the performance of such assumed
services, and/or (b) decline any of such services provided by Landlord pursuant
to Section 6.1(a)-(e) as are not customarily provided to properties of
comparable type and character in the Boston area, in which event Landlord shall
have no obligation to Tenant for such declined services; provided, however, that
Tenant may not assume or decline the performance of such services with respect
to exterior portions of Landlord's Property or which affect the Second
Additional Premises until the Second Expansion Delivery Date.

         Section 6.3 Extraordinary Use. Except for Landlord's Work, Landlord
shall have no obligation to make the Premises suitable for Tenant's use. Any
additional capacity or structural support which may be necessary and/or
appropriate in connection with the conduct of Tenant's business and/or Tenant's
use of

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

the Premises shall be installed and maintained at the sole cost and expense of
Tenant subject to, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of this
Lease.

         Section 6.4 Interruption; Delay. Landlord shall have no responsibility
or liability for failure or interruption of any such repairs or services
referred to in this Article VI, or for any interruption in utility services,
caused by breakage, accident, strikes, repairs, inability after exercise of
reasonable diligence to obtain supplies or otherwise furnish services, or for
any cause or causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (but Landlord, in
respect of those matters for which Landlord is responsible, will use reasonable
efforts to restore such services or make such repairs as soon as possible), nor
in any event for any indirect or consequential damages; and failure or omission
on the part of Landlord to furnish such service or make such repair shall not be
construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor render Landlord liable in damages, nor
entitle Tenant to an abatement of Base Rent or Additional Rent, nor release
Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any of its covenants under this Lease,
except as provided in Articles X and XI with respect to eminent domain and
damage by fire or other casualty.

         Section 6.5 Additional Services. Should Tenant request any additional
services, or services beyond the noted hours for such services, Tenant agrees to
pay to Landlord as Additional Rent therefor Landlord's costs for providing such
service, plus an additional fifteen (15%) percent as an administrative fee,
within fifteen days of Landlord's billing Tenant therefor.

         Section 6.6 Remediation of Hazardous Materials.

                  (a)      If (i) all or any portion of Landlord's Property is
contaminated by Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws and such
contamination either existed prior to the date on which Landlord achieves
Partial Completion or was caused by Landlord or Landlord's contractors or
agents, and (ii) such contamination materially affects the practical use and
enjoyment of a substantial portion of the Premises by Tenant, then Landlord
shall be responsible to Tenant to act diligently to remediate or otherwise
address such contamination so the violation of Environmental Laws caused thereby
ceases to exist ("Remediate"). If, by reason of a contamination of Landlord's
Property by Hazardous Materials in violation of Environment Laws for which
Landlord is responsible to Tenant under the above provisions of this Section, a
substantial portion of the Premises is not tenantable by Tenant for the
Permitted Use, and if Landlord defaults in the performance of its obligations
under this Section (subject to the notice and cure provision set forth in
Section 12.7), Tenant may either (x) take reasonable steps to Remediate such
contamination, in which case Tenant may setoff the reasonable costs thereof
against the Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due, or (y) terminate this
Lease; provided, however, that as a condition of such rights of Tenant to
exercise self-help and setoff, or to terminate this Lease, such rights shall
either have been conceded by Landlord or Landlord's default under this Section
(subject to the notice and cure provision set forth in Section 12.7) shall have
been determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 14.2 and, if such default is
determined by arbitration, Landlord shall have failed to commence to cure such
default within thirty (30) days after such determination or shall fail
thereafter to diligently complete the cure.

                  (b)      If, by reason of a contamination of Landlord's
Property by Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws for which
Landlord is not responsible to Tenant under Section 6.6(a) and which is not the
responsibility of Tenant under Section 7.7 (for example, the migration of
Hazardous Materials to Landlord's Property from an adjacent property), a
substantial portion of the Premises is not tenantable by Tenant for the
Permitted Use, and Landlord, in its sole discretion, undertakes in writing,
within thirty (30) days after Tenant gives Landlord written notice thereof, the
obligation to Remediate such contamination, then the respective rights and
obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to such contamination shall be
as set forth in Section 6.6(a). If, by reason of contamination described in the
immediately preceding sentence, a substantial portion of the Premises is not
tenantable by Tenant for the Permitted Use, but Landlord, in its sole
discretion, fails or refuses to undertake in writing, within thirty (30) days
after Tenant gives Landlord written notice thereof, the obligation to Remediate
such contamination, Tenant may (x) at Tenant's cost (but without waiving any
rights Tenant may have against potentially liable parties), take reasonable
steps to Remediate such contamination, or (y) terminate this Lease; provided,
however, that as a condition of such right of Tenant to terminate this Lease,
such right shall either have

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

been conceded by Landlord or determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 14.2
and, if such right is determined by arbitration and the contamination can
reasonably be Remediated within nine (9) months after commencement of such
remediation, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, avoid such termination by
undertaking in writing the obligation, and commencing, to Remediate the
contamination within thirty (30) days after such determination and thereafter
diligently pursuing and completing such remediation, in any event making the
Premises tenantable by Tenant for the Permitted Use within nine (9) months after
commencement of such remediation.

                  (c)      In the event that the provisions of Section 6.6(a) or
Section 6.6(b) shall become applicable, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of
Taxes, Insurance Costs and Operating Costs shall be abated or reduced
proportionately during any period in which, by reason of the contamination,
there is substantial interference with the operation of the business of Tenant
in the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to
discontinue its business in the Premises, and such abatement or reduction may be
adjusted from time to time based on the extent of the interference with Tenant's
operations.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                          CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT

         Section 7.1 Rent. Tenant will promptly pay the Base Rent and Additional
Rent (including without limitation any and all sums payable by Tenant to the
applicable provider of utilities) at the time and in the manner provided for in
this Lease.

         Section 7.2 Utilities; Waste Removal. In addition to electricity which
is the subject of Section 4.7 and water and sewer which is the subject of
Section 6.1(c), Landlord reserves the right to cause any or all of Tenant's
other utilities to be separately metered or submetered. In the event that Tenant
is billed directly by a utility provider, then Tenant shall pay such bills
directly to such utility provider prior to their due dates. In the event
Tenant's utility usage is separately metered or sub-metered by Landlord, Tenant
shall pay the billed charges therefor to Landlord as Additional Rent within
fifteen (15) days of Landlord's billing therefor. In the event Tenant's utility
usage is not separately metered, then, except for Tenant's Electricity Costs,
Tenant shall pay for such usage as a part of the Operating Costs. Tenant agrees
that its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of existing
feeders, risers and wiring installations in the Building. Tenant shall be solely
responsible for removing its trash, debris and waste from Landlord's Property
and proper disposal and/or recycling of same.

         Section 7.3 No Waste. Tenant shall not overload, damage or deface the
Premises nor shall it suffer or permit the same to be done, nor shall it commit
any waste.

         Section 7.4 Maintenance; Repairs; and Yield-Up. Tenant will keep the
Premises neat and clean and maintain the same in such repair and condition as
the same now are or hereafter may be put. Tenant's obligation to so maintain and
repair the Premises shall apply to all of the Premises, including, without
limitation, all doors, glass, fixtures, interior walls, floors and ceilings.
There is excepted from Tenant's obligations under this Section 7.4 only (a)
damage due to fire or other casualty ("Casualty"), (b) repairs and work which
are otherwise the specific responsibility of Landlord hereunder, and (c)
reasonable wear and tear. At the end of the Lease Term or sooner termination of
this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably surrender and deliver up the Premises to
Landlord, leaving all erections, alterations and additions to the Premises in
such repair and condition, broom clean, with all utilities safely capped, and
removing all signs and lettering and all trade fixtures, personal property,
goods and effects belonging to Tenant or anyone claiming through or under
Tenant. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant and not Landlord shall be solely
responsible for the maintenance and repair of the Premises and all the pipes,
wires, conduits, utilities and other installations that serve only the Premises.
Tenant shall cause all maintenance and repair work to conform to Legal
Requirements. Tenant shall keep the Premises clear of all filth, trash and
refuse. If at any time there exists an uncured Event of Default as to Tenant's
obligations under the above provisions of this Section, then Landlord will have
the right (but not the obligation), without waiving any such Event of Default by
Tenant, to cause such obligations to be performed upon not less than three (3)
days' prior written notice to Tenant (or a shorter period of prior written
notice, or a contemporaneous written notice, if

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

appropriate in Landlord's judgment in light of the nature of Tenant's
obligations to be performed), and if Landlord causes any of such obligations to
be performed, the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in
connection therewith shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as
Additional Rent upon demand. Tenant shall be responsible for janitorial services
for the Premises and all restroom facilities located therein.

         Section 7.5 Alterations by Tenant. Tenant will not make any change in,
or addition to, the Premises without first obtaining, on each occasion,
Landlord's consent in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, and then only at Tenant's expense, and in a lawful
manner subject to (a) maintenance of insurance in form and substance
satisfactory to Landlord and (b) compliance with Sections 7.9 and 7.11;
provided, however, that Tenant may, upon prior written notice to, but without
the requirement of consent of, Landlord, make the following alterations or
additions ("Permitted Alterations"): (i) alterations or additions which (1) are
non-structural, (2) do not penetrate or otherwise affect the roof of the
Building, (3) do not materially adversely affect Building systems, and (4) are
not reasonably anticipated to cost more than $100,000 in any single instance or
related instances, and (ii) alterations which are purely cosmetic in nature,
such as paint, wallcovering, carpeting and the like, regardless of cost. Any
such alteration or addition shall be consistent with the Permitted Use and shall
be made only after duly obtaining (and providing to Landlord copies of) all
required permits and licenses from all governmental authorities. Tenant will
deliver to Landlord in writing a schedule setting forth the details and location
of all such proposed alterations or additions and detailed plans and
specifications. The contractor(s) performing the work other than Permitted
Alterations shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All approved repairs,
installations, alterations, additions or other improvements made by Tenant shall
be made in a good and workmanlike manner and in such a way that BAE will not
suffer unreasonable inconvenience or interference as reasonably determined by
Landlord. Tenant agrees not to construct or permit the installation of
partitions and/or other obstructions in the Premises which might interfere with
Landlord's free access to the Premises or Building, or impede the free flow of
air to and from air vents and other portions of the HVAC systems in the
Building. Except as herein otherwise provided, all installations, alterations,
additions or improvements in or to the Premises shall become the property of
Landlord and shall remain upon, and be surrendered with, the Premises at the end
of the Lease Term or sooner termination of this Lease. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.5 shall be
applicable to Tenant's Work.

         Section 7.6 Trade Fixtures and Equipment. Any trade or specialty
fixtures installed in, or attached to, the Premises by, and at the expense of,
Tenant, shall remain the property of Tenant. Tenant shall have the right, at any
time and from time to time during the Lease Term, to remove any and all of its
trade or specialty fixtures, which it may have installed in, or attached to, the
Premises, during the Lease Term. In addition, at the end of the Lease Term or
sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's trade or
specialty fixtures unless Landlord gives Tenant a written waiver for same;
provided that Tenant may leave the wiring for its trade or specialty fixtures as
long as such wiring is concealed and is appropriately capped. At any time that
Tenant removes any of its trade or specialty fixtures, Tenant shall promptly
repair Landlord's Property as a result of any damage to, or destruction of,
Landlord's Property caused by the removal of any of its trade or specialty
fixtures.

         Section 7.7 Compliance with Laws. Tenant, in its use of the Premises
and at its sole expense, shall comply with all Legal Requirements, including,
without limitation, all Legal Requirements related to the use, storage,
discharge, release, removal or existence of Hazardous Materials. Tenant agrees
that the Premises shall be kept in a sanitary and safe condition in accordance
with all Legal Requirements.

         Section 7.8 Contents at Tenant's Risk. All inventory, equipment, goods,
merchandise, furniture, fixtures and property of every kind which may be on or
about the Premises shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and if the
whole or any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, water or
otherwise, or by the use or abuse of water or by the leaking or bursting of
water pipes, or by rising water, or by roof or other structural leak, or by loss
of electrical service, or in any other way or manner, no part of such loss or
damage shall be charged to or borne by Landlord in any case whatsoever, except
that the foregoing shall not exculpate the Landlord from liability for its own
negligent acts or omissions. Tenant

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

agrees to maintain full and adequate insurance coverage on all of its property
at the Premises and in the remainder of Landlord's Property, including physical
damage, theft and business interruption insurance, or Tenant shall be a
self-insurer thereof, in which case Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing
and shall be fully responsible for all such damage, and shall indemnify and save
harmless Landlord from any loss, cost, expense, damage or liability resulting
from Tenant's failure to have such insurance as required in this Lease. Such
insurance on Tenant's property shall contain a waiver of subrogation clause in
favor of Landlord, or shall name Landlord as an additional insured for the sole
purpose of preventing a subrogation claim against Landlord. If Tenant is a
self-insurer, in whole or in part, Landlord shall be entitled to the same
benefits it would have enjoyed had insurance covering the loss in full with a
waiver of subrogation clause been in effect, or as if the Landlord has been
named on insurance covering the loss in full as an additional insured for the
purpose of preventing a subrogation claim.

         Section 7.9 Exoneration; Indemnification and Insurance.

                  (a)      Tenant will exonerate, indemnify, defend, save and
hold harmless Landlord (and any and all Persons claiming by, through or under
Landlord) from and against all liabilities and claims for personal injury and
property damage, and costs and expenses, including legal fees, in connection
therewith arising from: (i) any breach of this Lease by Tenant or any Tenant
Invitee or other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant; and/or (ii) any
act, omission or negligence of any Tenant Invitee, or arising from any accident,
injury or damage occurring in, on or about Landlord's Property, which such
accident, damage or injury results from the negligence or misconduct on the part
of any Tenant Invitee; provided, however, that the above provisions of this
sentence shall not exculpate Landlord from its own negligence or that of its
contractors or agents. This exoneration, indemnification and hold harmless
agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.

                  (b)      Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to
Tenant, or to those Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any loss
or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of Persons
occupying or using adjoining premises or any part of Landlord's Property, or
otherwise, or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or those Persons
claiming by, through or under Tenant, or its or their property, except that the
foregoing shall not exculpate the Landlord from liability for its own negligence
or that of its contractors or agents.

                  (c)      From and after any pre-term occupancy by Tenant, if
any allowed by Landlord, and thereafter during the Lease Term and any period of
holding over, Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect a policy of
commercial general liability insurance under which Landlord (and its designees)
and Landlord's mortgagee(s) are named as additional insureds. Each such policy
shall be non-cancelable with respect to Landlord without thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Landlord (except in the case of non-payment of premium, in
which event the notice period shall be ten (10) days), and Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord prior to any pre-term occupancy and thereafter at least thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of any then effective coverage a satisfactory
written certificate of insurance coverages or the renewal or replacement of such
coverages. The minimum limits of liability of such insurance shall be One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limits for bodily injury and
property damage, each occurrence, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) limits
for personal injury, together with an overall umbrella coverage of an additional
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), subject to adjustment from time to time
during the Lease Term as reasonably required by Landlord consistent with limits
for liability insurance customarily maintained on properties of comparable type
and character in the Boston area. Any contractor engaged by Tenant to do any
work at or furnish any materials to be incorporated into the Premises, whether
or not included in Tenant's Work, shall deliver to Landlord evidence of the
Contractor's commercial general liability insurance, worker's compensation
insurance and automobile insurance each reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

                  (d)      Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect
so-called "all risk" fire, casualty and extended coverage insurance, with
replacement cost coverage, with respect to the improvements to the Premises
constructed by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 7.5. Tenant shall
provide Landlord with a certificate evidencing such insurance and containing a
provision that the same may not be canceled without thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to Landlord and Landlord's lender (except in the case of
non-

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

payment of premium, in which event the notice period shall be ten (10) days),
and Tenant shall provide Landlord and Landlord's lender with such a certificate
prior to the Commencement Date and thereafter at least thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration of any such coverage.

                  (e)      All insurance requirements imposed upon Tenant or its
contractors under this Lease shall be subject to the requirements that the forms
of coverage be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that the insurers providing
the insurance be licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, be in sound
financial condition, carry an A or better Best's rating, and be reasonably
acceptable to Landlord.

         Section 7.10 Landlord's Access. Landlord and its representatives shall
have the right without charge to it and without reduction in Base Rent or
Additional Rent, upon reasonable prior notice, at reasonable times and in such
manner as shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business, to enter the
Premises for the purposes of showing the Premises to prospective purchasers,
tenants (during the last year of the Lease Term) and lenders and investigating
repair or maintenance problems and making such repairs or changes as Landlord is
required or permitted to make hereunder. In case of an emergency, whether
resulting from circumstances in the Premises or elsewhere on Landlord's
Property, Landlord or its representatives may enter the Premises (forcibly, if
necessary) at any time to take such measures as may be needed to cope with such
emergency.

         Section 7.11 No Liens. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics',
laborers' or materialmen's liens to stand against Landlord's Property or
Tenant's interests in the Premises, this Lease, or the estate created hereby for
any labor or materials furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to
Tenant in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have
been performed in or on the Premises by or at the direction or sufferance of
Tenant. Landlord may condition the right of Tenant to do Tenant's work or to do
any other work which could result in a lien upon Landlord's Property or Tenant's
interests in the Premises, this Lease, or the estate created hereby on the
delivery and recording of statutory lien bonds or indemnities satisfactory to
Landlord. Tenant shall have the right to record a statutory lien bond.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                            SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

         Section 8.1 Subletting and Assignment.

                  (a)      Except as set forth in Section 8.1(b), Tenant shall
not assign, mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease nor sublet all or any part
of the Premises, nor permit or allow the use of all or any part of the Premises
by third party users, such as concessionaires, without, on each occasion,
obtaining Landlord's written consent thereto, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In connection with a proposed
sublease or assignment for which Tenant requests Landlord's consent pursuant to
this Section 8.1(a), Tenant shall furnish to Landlord (i) a copy of the proposed
sublease or assignment (or, if the proposed sublease or assignment has not yet
been negotiated, a summary of the material business terms of the sublease or
assignment), (ii) financial and other information about the subtenant or
assignee, and the proposed use of the Premises by the subtenant or assignee, as
reasonably requested by Landlord to assess the creditworthiness of the subtenant
or assignee, to determine whether the subtenant or assignee, and its proposed
use, is of a character consistent with the operation of a building of the type
and character of the Building, and to determine whether the proposed use of the
subtenant or assignee is a Permitted Use. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of
Landlord's reasonable expenses arising out of a proposed sublease or assignment,
including, without limitation, a legal retainer in a reasonable amount required
by Landlord in advance of Landlord's review of any of Tenant's documentation in
connection therewith. Tenant may not assign this Lease nor sublet all or any
part of the Premises at any time that there exists an uncured Event of Default.
Any proposed sublease must prohibit any assignment of the sublease or any
sub-sublease of any portion of the Premises without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall be granted or denied on terms consistent herewith.

                                      -22-

<PAGE>

                  (b)      (i)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 8.1(a), but subject to Section 8.1(c), Tenant may, upon at least ten
(10) Business Days prior written notice to, but without the requirement of
consent by, Landlord, sublease all or any portion of the Premises to one or more
Tenant Affiliates, so long as (A) Tenant furnishes to Landlord a copy of the
sublease and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the sublease is
permitted under this Section 8.1(b)(i); (B) the subtenant's proposed use is a
Permitted Use; (C) there does not then exist an uncured Event of Default; (D)
the sublease prohibits any assignment of the sublease or any sub-sublease of any
portion of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
consent shall be granted or denied on terms consistent herewith; and (E) Tenant
pays all of Landlord's reasonable expenses arising out of such sublease
including, without limitation, a legal retainer in a reasonable amount specified
by Landlord in advance of Landlord's review of any of Tenant's documentation in
connection therewith.

                           (ii)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 8.1(a), but subject to Section 8.1(c), Tenant may, upon prior written
notice to, but without the requirement of consent by, Landlord, assign this
Lease to a Tenant Affiliate, so long as (A) within ten (10) Business Days after
such assignment, Tenant furnishes to Landlord a copy of the assignment and
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the assignment is permitted
under this Section 8.1(b)(ii); (B) the assignee's proposed use is a Permitted
Use; (C) there does not then exist an uncured Event of Default; and (D) Tenant
pays all of Landlord's reasonable expenses arising out of such assignment
including, without limitation, a legal retainer in a reasonable amount specified
by Landlord in advance of Landlord's review of any of Tenant's documentation in
connection therewith.

                           (iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 8.1(a), Tenant may, upon prior written notice to, but without the
requirement of consent by, Landlord, allow one or more Tenant Affiliates to use
portions of the Premises from time to time; provided that in such use of the
Premises the applicable Tenant Affiliate shall be subject to all of the terms of
this Lease.

                           (iv)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 8.1(a), Tenant may collaterally assign Tenant's interest in this Lease
to a bank or other financial institution as security for financing provided by
such bank or other financial institution to Tenant, provided that any assignment
of this Lease occurring by reason of the enforcement of such collateral
assignment, other than an assignment to such bank or financial institution,
shall be subject to Section 8.1(a), and after any assignment of this Lease to
such bank or financial institution occurring by reason of the enforcement of
such collateral assignment, such bank or financial institution shall thereafter
be subject to, and have the rights of Tenant under, Article VIII.

                  (c)      In the event of an assignment of this Lease consented
to by Landlord or permitted pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b), Tenant
shall be jointly and severally liable with the new tenant for the payment of any
and all Base Rent and Additional Rent which may become due by the terms of this
Lease and for the performance of all covenants, agreements and conditions on the
part of Tenant to be performed hereunder. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord,
with respect to portions of the Lease Term after the tenth (10th) Lease Year,
fifty percent (50%) of the amount, if any, by which any rent from time to time
received as a result of the assignment or sublease, after deducting therefrom
the costs incurred by Tenant in the assignment or sublease transaction (which
costs shall include leasing commissions, reasonable attorneys' fees and tenant
improvements costs), exceeds the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder
on a per square foot basis; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of
this sentence shall not apply to an assignment or a sublease to a Tenant
Affiliate. No such assignment or sublease shall be valid or effective unless and
until (i) the new tenant and the Tenant execute and deliver to Landlord an
agreement, in commercially reasonable form submitted by Landlord and with the
assignment or sublease attached, pursuant to which inter alia, such new tenant
(A) in the case of an assignment, assumes all of the obligations of the Tenant
under this Lease, (B) agrees to execute and deliver such estoppel certificates
and subordination agreements as may be reasonably required by Landlord, (C) in
the case of a sublease, acknowledges that Landlord has no obligations to new
tenant under this Lease, the sublease or otherwise and (D) agrees to maintain
the same insurance coverages as the insurance coverages which Tenant is required
to maintain under this Lease and to provide evidence thereof satisfactory to
Landlord when requested; and (ii) the new tenant delivers to

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

Landlord evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, of the
insurance coverages required to be maintained by such new tenant under the
agreement referenced in clause (i) above. No modification of the terms of this
Lease or any course of dealing between Landlord and any assignee or sublessee of
Tenant's interest herein shall operate to release or impair Tenant's obligations
hereunder.

                  (d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article VIII or other provisions of this Lease, in the event that Tenant
seeks Landlord's consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of all or
any part of the Premises to become effective after the twentieth (20th) Lease
Year, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease (or if the request is
for a sublease of less than all of the Premises, at Landlord's option, Landlord
may terminate this Lease as to the portion requested to be sublet and Landlord
and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease to modify the Premises and
to adjust Base Rent and Tenant's Share based upon the approximate remaining
leasable square footage to the Leasable Square Footage of the Building). In such
an event, Landlord may enter into a new lease with the proposed assignee or
sublessee or any other party on any terms and provisions acceptable to Landlord
in Landlord's sole discretion for the Premises or the portion of the Premises
released from this Lease.

                  (e)      Tenant shall not enter into any arrangements with any
subtenant or assignee for the purpose of circumventing (i) its obligation to
share rents received from a sublease or assignment or (ii) any other provisions
of this Article VIII.

                                   ARTICLE IX
         RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES AND GROUND LESSORS; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

         Section 9.1 Subordination to Mortgages and Ground Leases. Tenant agrees
that this Lease is and shall be and remain subordinate to the lien of any
present or future mortgage or mortgages, or ground lease, upon Landlord's
Property, irrespective of the time of execution or time of recording of any such
mortgage or mortgages, or ground lease, and to all renewals, extensions, and
modifications therefor or amendments thereto; provided, however, that as a
condition to such subordination, the mortgagee or ground lessor must agree not
to disturb Tenant's possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this
Lease so long as no Event of Default exists. Tenant agrees that it will, upon
five (5) Business Days' advance written request from Landlord or any holder of a
mortgage on all or a portion of Landlord's Property or the ground lessor
thereof, execute, acknowledge, and deliver an agreement to give effect to, or
notice of, such subordination, provided that the terms of such agreement are
similar in substance to the form of Subordination, Non-Disturbance and
Attornment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit H. Upon five (5) days' written
request from Landlord, any holder of a mortgage or ground lease on Landlord's
Property or any successor in interest to Landlord, whether by purchase,
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, Tenant shall enter into
an attornment agreement consistent with the attornment provisions in Exhibit H.

         Section 9.2 Lease Superior at Mortgagee's or Ground Lessor's Election.
At the request in writing of any mortgagee, or ground lessor, of Landlord's
Property, this Lease shall be deemed superior to such mortgage, or ground lease,
whether this Lease was executed before or after such mortgage, or ground lease,
and Tenant shall execute such documents to effect the foregoing in recordable
form as such mortgagee, or ground lessor, shall request.

         Section 9.3 Limitations on Obligations of Mortgagees, Ground Lessors
and Successors. Tenant agrees that the holder of a mortgage or ground lease or
any successor-in-interest to any of them or to Landlord shall not be: (a) liable
for any act or omission of Landlord under this Lease; (b) subject to any offsets
or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord under this Lease; (c) bound
by the payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent which Tenant might have paid
for more that the current month to Landlord under the Lease; (d) bound by any
amendment or modification of this Lease made without the prior written consent
of the mortgagee or ground lessor and not otherwise permitted under the mortgage
or ground lease; (e) personally liable for any default under this Lease of any
covenant or obligation on its part to be performed, it being acknowledged that
Tenant's sole monetary recourse in the event of such default shall be to proceed
against the interest of such mortgagee, ground lessor or successor-in-interest
in this Lease and Landlord's Property; or (f) obligated to perform any of
Landlord's

                                      -24-

<PAGE>

Work. Further, Tenant agrees that it will not seek to terminate this Lease by
reason of any act or omission of Landlord until Tenant shall have given written
notice of such act or omission to the holder of such mortgage or ground lease
(at such holder's last address furnished to Tenant) and following the giving of
such notice such holder shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to
remedy such act or omission within twenty (20) business days after the time
period provided for in this Lease for Landlord to cure the same or such longer
period as may be reasonably necessary to cure the same. Tenant shall enter into
a written agreement confirming the foregoing from time to time upon written
request from Landlord and/or the holder of a mortgage or ground lease on
Landlord's Property. In the event of any inconsistency between any
Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into as
contemplated by Section 9.1, and the above provisions of this Section 9.3, such
Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement shall control.

         Section 9.4 Estoppel Certificates. Each party ("Responding Party")
agrees, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days after written
request by the other party ("Requesting Party"), to execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing certifying that (except
as may be otherwise specified by the Responding Party): (i) this Lease is
presently in full force and effect and unmodified; (ii) Tenant has accepted
possession of the Premises; (iii) any improvements required by the terms of this
Lease to be made by Landlord have been completed to the satisfaction of Tenant;
(iv) no rent under this Lease has been paid more than 30 days in advance of its
due date; (v) the addresses for notices to be sent to the Responding Party is as
set forth in this Lease or as specified in such certificate; (vi) Tenant as of
the date of executing the certificate has no charge, lien or claim of offset
under this Lease, or otherwise, against rents or other charges due or to become
due hereunder; (vii) to the best of the knowledge of the Responding Party, the
Responding Party is not in default under this Lease; and (viii) such other
information as the Requesting Party may reasonably request about this Lease or
Tenant's occupancy.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                    CASUALTY

         Section 10.1 Damage From Casualty.

         (a)      If any portion of the Building is damaged by fire or other
casualty, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such casualty promptly
after Tenant becomes aware of such casualty. Within sixty (60) days after Tenant
gives Landlord written notice of such casualty, Landlord shall reasonably
estimate (based upon an estimate from a reputable architectural or engineering
firm), and give Tenant written notice of, the period commencing with the start
of restoration work (the "Restoration Period") that Landlord anticipates will be
reasonably required to achieve Partial Completion of Landlord's Restoration Work
and the anticipated date on which Landlord will start Landlord's Restoration
Work; provided, however, that in no event shall the Restoration Period extend
more than ten (10) months after the occurrence of the casualty. Landlord shall,
with reasonable dispatch, repair or rebuild the Building, or the damaged portion
thereof, other than such portions or elements of the Building as were part of
Tenant's Work or were otherwise constructed by Tenant, to substantially their
condition immediately prior to the casualty (subject, however, to Legal
Requirements then in existence) (such work to be performed by Landlord being
called "Landlord's Restoration Work"). From and after such time that Landlord
achieves Partial Completion of Landlord's Restoration Work, Tenant shall repair
or rebuild such portions or elements of the Building as were part of Tenant's
Work or were otherwise constructed by Tenant ("Tenant's Restoration Work").
Landlord shall design and perform Landlord's Restoration Work in accordance with
the provisions of Article III applicable to Landlord's Work, and Tenant shall
design and perform Tenant's Restoration Work in accordance with the provisions
of Article III applicable to Tenant's Work. Notwithstanding the above provisions
of this Section 10.1(a) to the contrary, if Landlord is not permitted by then
existing Legal Requirements to repair and rebuild the Building after a casualty,
Landlord may, by written notice given to Tenant within sixty (60) days after
Tenant gives Landlord written notice of the casualty, terminate this Lease, and
if Tenant is then occupying the Premises, Tenant shall thereafter have a
reasonable period of time in which to vacate the Premises.

                                      -25-

<PAGE>

         (b)      If, pursuant to Section 10.1(a), Landlord is required to
perform Landlord's Restoration Work and (i) Landlord fails to achieve Partial
Completion of Landlord's Restoration Work by the end of the Restoration Period
or (ii) Landlord fails to achieve Substantial Completion of Landlord's
Restoration Work by the later of (x) the date on which Tenant substantially
completes Tenant's Restoration Work or (y) six (6) months after Landlord
achieves Partial Completion of Landlord's Restoration Work, then Tenant shall
have the following rights: (1) Tenant may terminate this Lease upon sixty (60)
days prior written notice to Landlord, and if Landlord fails to achieve Partial
Completion or Substantial Completion of Landlord's Restoration Work, as
applicable, within such sixty (60) day period, then this Lease shall terminate
as of such sixtieth (60th) day; or (2) Tenant may undertake and complete
Landlord's Restoration Work, in which case Tenant may setoff the reasonable
costs thereof against the Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due;
provided, however, that as a condition of such right of Tenant to setoff such
costs, such right shall either have been conceded by Landlord or Landlord's
failure to achieve Partial Completion or Substantial Completion of Landlord's
Restoration Work within the applicable time period shall have been determined by
arbitration pursuant to Section 14.2.

         Section 10.2 Abatement of Rent. In the event that the provisions of
Section 10.1 shall become applicable, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Taxes,
Insurance Costs and Operating Costs shall be abated or reduced proportionately
during any period in which, by reason of any such damage or destruction, there
is substantial interference with the operation of the business of Tenant in the
Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to
discontinue its business in the Premises, and such abatement or reduction shall
continue (but may be adjusted from time to time based on the extent of the
interference with Tenant's operations) for the period commencing with such
destruction or damage and ending not later than the later of (a) the date on
which Landlord achieves Substantial Completion of Landlord's Restoration Work or
(b) three (3) months after Landlord achieves Partial Completion of Landlord's
Restoration Work.

         Section 10.3 Termination. Landlord and Tenant shall not be obligated to
do any repair or restoration work if Landlord or Tenant has the right to and
does elect to terminate this Lease as provided for in this Article X. If this
Lease terminates as provided in this Article XI, Tenant shall be entitled to the
proceeds of the insurance maintained by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.9(d).

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                 EMINENT DOMAIN

         Section 11.1 Eminent Domain; Right to Terminate and Abatement in Rent.
If the entire Premises or the entire Landlord's Property shall be taken, or if a
conveyance shall be made in anticipation thereof, by action of municipal, state,
federal or other authorities (such a taking or conveyance being called a
"Taking"), this Lease shall terminate as of the Taking. If there is a Taking of
a material part of the Premises or a substantial part of Landlord's Property,
and if, by reason of such Taking, it is not commercially reasonable for Tenant
to continue to use the Premises in Tenant's business, then Tenant may, at its
option exercisable by written notice given to Landlord within sixty (60) days
after such Taking, terminate this Lease. In the case of a partial Taking which
materially affects Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises but does not
result in a termination of this Lease, the Base Rent shall be equitably adjusted
on the basis of the extent of interference with Tenant's use and enjoyment of
the Premises.

         Section 11.2 Restoration. If this Lease is not terminated as a result
of a partial Taking of Landlord's Property, Landlord shall apply so much of its
share of the available proceeds of the Taking as are required to restore
Landlord's Property and the Premises to a condition, to the extent practical,
substantially the same as that immediately preceding the Taking, but subject to
Legal Requirements then in existence. If Landlord's share of the available
proceeds of the Taking are insufficient, in Landlord's judgment, for that
purpose, Landlord shall have no obligation to expend funds in excess of said
proceeds. The term "available proceeds" shall mean the amount of the award paid
to Landlord, less cost of obtaining the same (including attorneys' fees and
appraisal fees).

         Section 11.3 Proceeds. To the extent this Lease is terminated as a
result of a Taking or a partial Taking of Landlord's Property, the available
proceeds (as defined in Section 11.2) shall be allocated as

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

between Landlord and Tenant on the basis of the relative values of their
interests in Landlord's Property as determined by agreement of the parties or,
at the request of either party if they have not reached such an agreement, by
arbitration pursuant to Section 14.2. The above provisions of this Section 11.3
shall be subject to any contrary rights of any mortgagee of Landlord's Property,
to the extent that the applicable mortgage secures a loan made on the basis of
the value of Landlord's Property determined subject to this Lease.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

         Section 12.1 Event of Default. As used herein, "Event of Default" shall
mean the occurrence and/or existence of any one or more of the following: (a)
(i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or Tenant's Share of
Taxes, Insurance Costs or Operating Costs on or before the date on which the
same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for ten (10) days after
Landlord gives Tenant written notice thereof, or (ii) Landlord having given the
notice specified in the foregoing clause (a)(i) to Tenant twice in any twelve
(12) month period, Tenant shall fail, on another occasion within twelve (12)
months after the first such notice, to pay any installment of Base Rent or
Additional Rent on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable;
or (b) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the other
covenants or undertakings herein on its part to be performed or observed and
such neglect or failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice to
Tenant; provided, however, that if the default is other than a default under
clause (a) above, or clauses (c) through (i) below, and is such that it cannot
be cured within thirty (30) days, but is capable of being cured, such thirty
(30) day period shall be extended by up to sixty (60) additional days provided
that Tenant commences to cure such default within said thirty (30) day period,
continues to do so diligently, and thereafter completes such cure; or (c) there
is filed by Tenant any case, petition, proceeding or other action for
protection, reorganization or liquidation under any Bankruptcy Law; or (d) any
other proceedings shall be instituted against Tenant under any Bankruptcy Law
and not be dismissed within ninety (90) days; or (e) Tenant shall admit its
inability to pay its financial obligations when they become due; or (f) Tenant
shall execute an assignment of its property for the benefit of its creditors; or
(g) a receiver, custodian or other similar officer for Tenant shall be appointed
and not be discharged within ninety (90) days; or (h) the estate hereby created
shall be taken by execution or by other process of law and is not redeemed by
Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter; or (i) an assignment or sublease in
violation of the terms of this Lease.

         Section 12.2 Landlord's Remedies.

                  (a)      During the continuance of an uncured Event of
Default, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter (notwithstanding
any license or waiver of any former breach or waiver of the benefit hereof, or
consent in a former instance), and without demand or notice, in person or by
agent or attorney, enter the Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same
as of its former estate, and terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant,
and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under it and remove their effects
(forcibly, if necessary) without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass
and without prejudice to any remedy which might otherwise be used for arrears of
Base Rent or Additional Rent or breach of covenant, and thereupon this Lease
shall terminate and Landlord, in addition to all other remedies which it may
have at law or equity, and not in limitation thereof, shall have the remedies
provided in this Article XII. No termination of this Lease and/or repossession
of the Premises pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall relieve Tenant of its
obligations under this Lease, which shall survive such termination or
repossession.

                  (b)      From the termination of this Lease pursuant to
Section 12.2(a) through the remainder of the Lease Term, until such time, if
any, that Landlord exercises its right pursuant to Section 12.2(c), Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the Base Rent and Additional Rent in installments as and when
the same become due and payable, subject to reduction by any rent actually
received by Landlord as a result of a re-letting of the Premises (net of the
reasonable and customary costs of re-letting, including remodeling costs,
brokerage commissions and attorneys' fees). Landlord shall exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises to mitigate damages, and Landlord may
re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord
or otherwise for a term or terms which may, at

                                      -27-

<PAGE>

Landlord's option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have
constituted the balance of the Lease Term and may grant concessions or free
rent. The good faith failure of Landlord to re-let the Premises or any part or
parts thereof, or, if the Premises are re-let, the good faith failure to collect
the rents due under such re-letting, shall not release or affect Tenant's
liability for damage so long as Landlord does not act arbitrarily or
capriciously. Any suit brought to collect the amount of deficiency for any month
or other period shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to collect
the deficiency for any subsequent month or period by a similar proceeding.
Landlord, at Landlord's option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements
and decorations on the Premises as Landlord in Landlord's sole but reasonable
judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the
Premises, and the making of such alterations or decorations shall not operate or
be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder.

                  (c)      At Landlord's option exercisable by written notice
given to Tenant upon or after the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section
12.2(a), Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord as damages, in addition to all
sums which were due prior to the exercise of such option by Landlord, a sum
equal to the amount by which the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the remainder
of the Lease Term exceeds the fair rental value of the Premises determined as of
the termination date for the remainder of the Lease Term, discounted to present
value using a then market rate of interest as reasonably determined by Landlord.
For the purposes of computing damages payable pursuant to this Section 12.2(c),
the annual Additional Rent with respect to Taxes, Insurance Costs and Operating
Costs for the remainder of the Lease Term will be assumed to be such Additional
Rent for the most recently ended fiscal, calendar or lease year, as the case may
be.

         Section 12.3 Reimbursement of Landlord. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Tenant will, in addition to paying Landlord all amounts due under
the terms and provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section
12.9, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in
collecting such rent or in obtaining possession of, or in re-letting the
Premises, or in defending any action, including expenses for reasonable counsel
fees and commissions. Tenant further agrees that, if on termination of this
Lease by expiration or otherwise, Tenant shall fail to remove any of its
property from the Premises as provided for herein, Landlord shall be authorized,
in its sole option, and in Tenant's name and on its behalf, either (a) to cause
such property to be removed and placed in storage for the account and at the
expense of Tenant; or (b) to sell such property at public or private sale, with
or without notice, and to apply the proceeds thereof, after the payment of all
expenses of removal, storage and sale, to the indebtedness, if any, of Tenant to
Landlord, the surplus, if any, to be paid to Tenant. All sums payable by Tenant
under this Article XII shall be deemed Additional Rent.

         Section 12.4 Landlord's Right to Perform Tenant's Covenants. Tenant
covenants and agrees that, if there shall at any time exist an uncured Event of
Default with respect to its obligation to make any payment or perform any other
act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, Landlord, in
its sole discretion may make any payment or perform such other act on the part
of Tenant to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and
to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any
such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses,
employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys' fees. The making of any
such payment or the performing of such other act by Landlord pursuant to this
Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in
this Lease contained. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary
and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such
act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be
payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums
promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of
Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof
by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent.

         Section 12.5 Cumulative Remedies. The specified remedies to which
Landlord or Tenant may resort under the terms of this Lease, or under the
provisions of applicable law, are cumulative and not intended to be exclusive of
any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may be lawfully
entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions
of this Lease. The failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist in any one or more
cases upon the strict performance of any of the

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

covenants of this Lease or to exercise any option contained herein shall not be
construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of such covenant or
option. Receipt by Landlord of any Base Rent or Additional Rent payment with
knowledge of the breach of any covenants hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of
such breach. No payment by Tenant, whether or not expressly under protest, shall
be deemed a waiver of Tenant's right to dispute its obligation to pay or its
right to seek a refund of the same. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any
provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in
writing and signed by it. In addition to the other remedies provided in this
Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to restraint by injunction of any
violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant will not be liable for indirect or
consequential damages, other than damages for holding over beyond the end of the
Lease Term.

         Section 12.6 Expenses of Enforcement. Tenant agrees to pay all
reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in
enforcing any obligation or any remedies hereunder including, without
limitation, in connection with collection of Base Rent or Additional Rent,
recovery by Landlord of the Premises, or in any litigation in which Landlord
shall become involved by reason of any act or negligence of Tenant Invitees or
any breach of this Lease by Tenant.

         Section 12.7 Landlord's Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in
default hereunder unless such default shall remain uncured for more than thirty
(30) days following written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature
of such default, or such longer period as may be reasonably required to correct
such default. Landlord's liability to keep, maintain, and repair shall always be
limited to the cost of making such repair or accomplishing such maintenance or
repair. In no event whatsoever shall Landlord be liable for consequential or any
indirect damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so
long as any uncured Event of Default exists, Tenant shall not be entitled to
enforce any obligation from Landlord or seek any cure of Landlord's defaults
under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 12.7 are further subject to the
provisions of Articles X and XI dealing with eminent domain and fire and other
casualty. If Landlord is in default under this Lease (other than a default under
Section 6.6) and such default remains uncured for the period provided for in the
first sentence of this Section 12.7, Tenant may take reasonable steps to cure
the default, in which case Tenant may setoff the reasonable costs thereof
against the Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due; provided, however,
that as a condition of such right of Tenant to setoff such costs, such right
shall have either been conceded in writing by Landlord or Landlord's default
shall have been determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 14.2. In no event
shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease by reason of a default by
Landlord, except as expressly provided herein. Landlord's and Tenant's
obligations under this Lease are independent of each other, except that nothing
shall limit or affect the rights of either party for a default of the other as
set forth herein.

         Section 12.8 Limitation of Liability. The obligations of Landlord
hereunder shall be binding upon Landlord and each succeeding owner of Landlord's
interest hereunder only during the period of such ownership, and Landlord and
each succeeding owner shall have no liability whatsoever except for its
obligations during each such respective period. Tenant hereby agrees for itself
and each succeeding holder of Tenant's interest, or any portion thereof,
hereunder, that any judgment, decree or award obtained against Landlord or any
succeeding owner of Landlord's interest, which is in any manner related to this
Lease, the Premises or Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises or the
remainder of Landlord's Property, whether at law or in equity, shall be
satisfied out of Landlord's equity in the land and buildings then comprising
Landlord's Property owned by Landlord to the extent then owned by Landlord and
such succeeding owner, and further agrees to look only to such assets and to no
other assets of Landlord, or such succeeding owner, for satisfaction. Neither
Landlord nor any Person executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord, nor any
partner, limited or general, or any officer, director, employee, member,
trustee, beneficiary, or owner of Landlord, nor any subsequent Landlord, or any
partner, limited or general, or any officer, director, employee, member,
trustee, beneficiary, or owner of any subsequent Landlord shall have any
personal liability hereunder. No Person executing this Lease on behalf of
Tenant, nor any shareholder, director, officer or employee of Tenant, shall have
any personal liability hereunder.

         Section 12.9 Late Payment and Administrative Expense. If Tenant shall
fail to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges within ten (10) days
after the same become due and payable under this Lease, such unpaid amounts
shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at the
Applicable Interest Rate ("Interest Payment"). In addition, if Landlord is
required to redeposit any check which is returned for insufficient funds or if
Tenant shall fail to pay Base Rent or Tenant's Share of Taxes, Insurance Costs
or Operating Costs on or before the date on which the same become due and
payable, then Tenant shall also pay to Landlord an administrative expense charge
("Administrative Expense") of five percent (5.0%) of the amount thereof. The
provisions herein for Interest Payment and Administrative Expense shall not be
construed to relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent
and all other charges when due under this Lease and shall be in addition to and
not in limitation of Landlord's other remedies as provided for in this Lease.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         Section 13.1 Brokers. Tenant represents that it has not dealt with any
licensed real estate broker in connection with the Premises or the negotiation
or execution of this Lease other than the Brokers. Tenant shall indemnify and
save harmless Landlord from and against all claims and liabilities for brokerage
fees and commissions, and costs and expenses in connection therewith, incurred
as a result of the foregoing representation by Tenant not being true when made.
All broker's fees payable to Brokers for this Lease shall be payable by
Landlord.

         Section 13.2 Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant shall, upon paying all Base Rent
and Additional Rent due hereunder and observing and performing all of the terms,
covenants and conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed within
applicable grace and/or cure periods after notice, peaceably and quietly have
and hold the Premises, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease.

         Section 13.3 Notices. Any notice, demand, request or statement required
or intended to be given or delivered under the terms of this Lease shall be in
writing, shall be addressed to the party to be notified at the address or
addresses set forth in the Summary of Basic Terms or at such other address in
the continental United States as each party may designate for itself from time
to time by notice hereunder, and shall be deemed to have been given, delivered
or served upon (a) deposit in the U.S. Mail, with proper postage prepaid,
certified or registered, return receipt requested, (b) delivery to a regularly
scheduled overnight delivery carrier with delivery fees either prepaid or an
arrangement, satisfactory with such carrier, made for the payment of such fees,
or (c) telecopy or personal delivery, except that where any time period is
specified to commence upon notice from one party to the other, such time period
shall not be deemed to commence until postal service records, courier service
records or telecopy confirmation, as applicable, indicates that delivery was
made or first attempted.

         Section 13.4 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other from any
and all liability for any loss or damage caused by fire, any of the extended
coverage casualties, or other casualties insured against, or which would be
covered by insurance either of them is required hereunder to carry, even if such
fire or other casualty shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the
party benefited by the release or its agents, and whether or not any applicable
policy shall contain a clause, or be subject to a statutory provision, to the
effect that such release shall not affect said policies or the right of the
releasing party to recover thereunder. Landlord and Tenant agree that their
fire, extended coverage, and other insurance policies will include such a
clause, whenever available. To the extent that Tenant is a self-insurer with
respect to personal property, the provisions of Section 7.8 shall be applicable.
The provisions in favor of Landlord under this Section 13.4 are in addition to,
and not in lieu of, the other terms of this Lease.

         Section 13.5 Entire Agreement; Execution; Time of the Essence and
Headings and Table of Contents. This Lease together with all Exhibits referred
to herein and the Summary of Basic Terms, sets forth the entire agreement
between the parties hereto and cannot be modified or amended, except in a
writing duly executed by the respective parties. This Lease, together with all
Exhibits referred to herein and the Summary of Basic Terms, supersedes all
previous written and oral negotiations, understandings

                                      -30-

<PAGE>

and agreements regarding the subject matter of this Lease. Neither Landlord nor
Tenant nor any Person acting on behalf of Landlord or Tenant has made any
representations to the other on which the other has relied in entering into this
Lease except any representations expressly stated in this Lease. This Lease is
executed as a sealed instrument and in multiple counterparts, all copies of
which are identical, and any one of which is to be deemed to be complete in
itself and may be introduced in evidence or used for any purpose without the
production of any other copy. Time is of the essence of the obligations of
Tenant and Landlord to be performed within a specific time frame in this Lease.
The headings throughout this Lease and the Table of Contents are for convenience
of reference only, and shall in no way be held or deemed to define, limit,
explain, describe, modify or add to the interpretation, construction or meaning
of any provision of this Lease.

         Section 13.6 Partial Invalidity. If any term or condition of this Lease
or its application to any Person or circumstance shall to any extent be in
violation of or unenforceable under any law, rule, regulation or order
(including any court order) now existing or hereafter enacted or entered by any
court or other governmental entity having competent jurisdiction (including
after all appeals therefrom), the remainder of this Lease, or the application of
such term or condition to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which
it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall be
enforceable to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

         Section 13.7 No Waiver. No assent, express or implied, by Landlord or
Tenant to any breach of any agreement or condition herein contained on the part
of the other to be performed or observed, and no waiver, express or implied, of
any such agreement or condition shall be deemed to be a waiver of or an assent
to any succeeding breach of the same or any other agreement or condition. The
acceptance by Landlord of Base Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder (whether
such payment is made by Tenant or another Person), or silence by Landlord as to
any breach, shall not be construed as waiving any of Landlord's rights hereunder
unless such waiver shall be in writing. No payment by Tenant or acceptance by
Landlord of a lesser amount than shall be due Landlord from Tenant shall be
deemed to be anything but payment on account, and the acceptance by Landlord of
a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon a
letter accompanying said check, that said lesser amount is payment in full shall
not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept said check
without prejudice to recover the balance due or pursue any other remedy. No
payment by Tenant, whether or not expressly under protest, shall be deemed a
waiver of Tenant's right to dispute its obligation to pay or its right to seek a
refund of the same.

         Section 13.8 Holdover. If Tenant remains in the Premises beyond the
expiration of this Lease at the end of the Lease Term, or sooner following an
early termination as provided for herein, such holding over shall not be deemed
to create any tenancy, but Tenant shall be a daily Tenant at sufferance only
subject to all of Tenant's obligations set forth herein, but at a daily rate
equal to two (2) times the Base Rent, then in effect, and Additional Rent and
other charges provided for under this Lease. The acceptance of a purported rent
check following termination shall not constitute the creation of a tenancy at
will, it being agreed that Tenant's status shall remain that of a daily Tenant
at sufferance, at the aforesaid daily rate. If Tenant shall remain in occupancy
sixty (60) days after the later of (i) the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease or (ii) notice from Landlord that it has signed a lease or purchase
and sale agreement requiring that Tenant vacate the Premises, Tenant shall also
pay to Landlord all damages, if any, sustained by reason of any such holding
over. Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Lease as far as applicable.

         Section 13.9 When Lease Becomes Binding. The submission of this
document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease
or a reservation or an option for the Premises, and this document shall become
effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both
Landlord and Tenant and the receipt by Landlord of the Security Deposit, the
first monthly installment of Tenant's Electricity Cost, the first monthly
installment of Tenant's Share of Taxes, Insurance Costs and Operating Costs, and
the first monthly installment of Base Rent. All negotiations, considerations,
representations and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated
herein and may be modified or altered only by agreement in writing between
Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord
shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions hereof.

                                      -31-

<PAGE>

         Section 13.10 No Recordation. Tenant shall not record this Lease with
any registry of deeds or land court, and any recordation of this Lease will be
void and constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. However, at the
request of either party, the parties shall execute and record a Notice of Lease.

         Section 13.11 As Is. Except for Landlord's Work and Landlord's
obligation to Remediate contamination of Landlord's Property by Hazardous
Materials as provided in Section 6.6, Tenant represents to Landlord that it has
leased the Premises after a full and complete examination of the same, and by
its execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that
neither Landlord, nor Landlord's agents, has made any representation or promises
with respect to the Premises, the Building, or the land upon which it stands,
and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant, by implication or
otherwise, except as may be set forth expressly in this Lease.

         Section 13.12 Financial Statements; Certain Representations and
Warranties of Tenant. From time to time as requested by Landlord, Tenant shall
provide to Landlord, any actual or potential mortgagee and any actual or
potential ground lessor or any representative of any of the foregoing, copies of
Tenant's annual financial statements (audited or reviewed, if available) and
quarterly financial statements, all certified as true and correct by the
president or chief financial officer of Tenant, and such other information
regarding Tenant's financial condition as Landlord may reasonable request.
Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord, its successors and assigns that: (a)
all financial statements of Tenant previously provided to Landlord have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP, were true, complete and correct as of their
respective dates and fairly and accurately reflect the financial condition of
Tenant; (b) there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition
of Tenant subsequent to the date(s) of such financial statements; (c) all
financial statements of Tenant provided to Landlord after the date hereof will
be prepared in accordance with GAAP, will be true, complete and correct as of
their respective dates and will fairly and accurately reflect the financial
conditions of the Tenant (d) Tenant is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of State of Delaware; (e) the
execution, delivery and performance of this Lease by Tenant has been duly
authorized by the directors of Tenant; and (f) this Lease is valid and binding
upon the Tenant and is enforceable against Tenant in accordance with the terms
hereof. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord
acknowledges that Tenant's stock is publicly traded and that so long as Tenant's
stock remains publicly traded, documents on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and available to Landlord from the SEC shall satisfy
all financial reporting requirements of this Lease. If at any time Tenant is no
longer a public company, Tenant will furnish the financial statements and other
information provided for above in this Section 13.12 subject to a
confidentiality agreement to be negotiated in good faith by the parties.

         Section 13.13 Summary of Basic Terms. The Summary of Basic Terms which
is affixed to this Lease sets forth certain basic terms and information which is
thereafter referred to in the main text of this Lease. The Summary of Basic
Terms, and every particular item thereon, shall be deemed incorporated by
reference into the main text of this Lease.

         Section 13.14 Landlord Waivers. Landlord agrees to waive for the
benefit of Tenant and Tenant's lenders any lien upon Tenant's trade or specialty
fixtures and personal property; provided, however, that such waiver shall not
affect the right of Landlord to execute against Tenant's trade or specialty
fixtures and personal property to enforce any judgment obtained by Landlord
against Tenant, the lien for which would be subject and subordinate to any
security interests existing prior to the enforcement of such judgment. At the
request of Tenant, Landlord will enter into access agreements, on terms and
conditions reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, for the benefit of Tenant's
lenders to permit Tenant's lenders access to the Premises to recover Tenant's
trade and specialty fixtures and personal property.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                                   ARBITRATION

         Section 14.1 Arbitrable Matters. The following matters (collectively,

Default under clause (b) of Section 12.1; (s) the existence of a default by

this Lease), setoff or termination with respect to such default; and (t) the
assignment or allocation of responsibility for any particular cost of owning,
operating, maintaining, repairing, replacing and rebuilding Landlord's Property
as contemplated by Section 4.3. With respect to Arbitrable Matters, the
arbitrator(s) may determine and order remedies in connection therewith,
including damages.

         Section 14.2 Arbitration. Any claim, dispute or disagreement between
Landlord and Tenant regarding any Arbitrable Matter shall, if not resolved by
agreement of the parties, be resolved by arbitration administered by the
American Arbitration Association under its Arbitration Rules for the Real Estate
Industry, as amended and effective September 1, 2000, and judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Any such arbitration proceeding shall occur in Boston, Massachusetts under the
"Expedited Procedures" provided for in such Arbitration Rules for the Real
Estate Industry; provided that any such arbitration shall be before a 3-member
arbitration panel. Landlord and Tenant irrevocably agree that the exclusive
method for resolving any claim, dispute or disagreement between them regarding
any Arbitrable Matter shall be arbitration in accordance with this Section. In
the event of multiple claims, disputes or disagreements between Landlord and
Tenant regarding Arbitrable Matters, such Arbitrable Matters shall be
consolidated in a single arbitration proceeding to the extent practical without
materially delaying the arbitration of any such Arbitrable Matters. In the event
of multiple claims, disputes or disagreements between Landlord and Tenant, one
or more of which regard Arbitrable Matters and one or more of which regard
matters which are not Arbitrable Matters, the Arbitrable Matters shall be
resolved by arbitration in accordance with this Section and the matters which
are not Arbitrable Matters shall, unless the parties agree to submit the same to
arbitration, be subject to litigation between the parties in a court of
competent jurisdiction. The provisions of Article XIV shall survive termination
of this Lease.
