3. CONSTRUCTION AND CONDITION OF THE PREMISES

3.1 Condition of Premises. Except for the construction of the Initial Tenant
Improvements as provided herein, the Tenant accepts the Premises and the
Building in their present “as is” condition, without representation or warranty,
express or implied, in fact or in law, by Landlord and without recourse to
Landlord as to the nature, condition or usability thereof and agrees that
Landlord has no work to perform in or on the Premises; and Tenant agrees further
that any and all work to be done in or on the Premises (except as provided
herein with respect to the construction of the Initial Tenant Improvements and
for those items of repair and other work which are expressly the responsibility
of Landlord hereunder) will be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

3.2 The Initial Tenant Improvements.

(a) Tenant has provided Landlord with preliminary plans, and based upon such
plans Landlord has caused its architect to prepare final plans and
specifications (the “Plans”) for the layout of Tenant’s leasehold improvements
to a portion of the Premises (the “Initial Premises”) as depicted on such Plans
(the “Initial Tenant Improvements”). The Plans have been approved by the Tenant
and are attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Initial Tenant Improvements shall not
include Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures, equipment and property and are
limited to normal fit-up construction as depicted on the Plans. It is agreed
that the Initial Tenant Improvements shall not include, and Landlord shall not
be responsible for, any construction or build-out except within the Initial
Premises, and (except only for the work described in clause 3 below) the

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

balance of the Premises (the “Balance of the Premises”) shall be delivered to
the Tenant in its current “as is” condition. As part of the Initial Tenant
Improvements, Landlord shall also perform the following work on the sixth floor
of the Building:

improvements thereto;

2. The refinishing of the common hallway; and

3. The installation of new thermopane windows in both the Initial Premises and
in the Balance of the Premises.

Landlord agrees to remove, encapsulate or abate any asbestos in concentrations
greater than one percent (1%) found in the Initial Premises during the process
of the construction of the Initial Tenant Improvements; however, the foregoing
shall not require Landlord to test the Premises or any portion thereof for the
presence of asbestos and shall be limited to the removal, encapsulation or
abatement of materials actually known by Landlord to contain such concentrations
of asbestos.

Landlord agrees, in constructing the Initial Tenant Improvements, to reasonably
cooperate with Tenant in coordinating its work with fit-up work to be performed
in the Initial Premises by Tenant, such as telephone and communications cabling
and the delivery and set-up of furniture and fixtures, provided such cooperation
and coordination does not increase the cost of constructing, or time for
completing, the Initial Tenant Improvements.

(b) Based upon the approved Plans, the Landlord shall proceed, promptly upon the
execution hereof, using reasonable efforts, to obtain all necessary permits and
approvals for the construction of the Initial Tenant Improvements, to engage a
contractor to perform the construction and to proceed to complete the
construction of the Initial Tenant Improvements in substantial conformance with
the Plans. The Initial Tenant Improvements shall be performed in a good and
workmanlike fashion using new materials and in a first-class manner; and the
Initial Tenant Improvements shall be performed in accordance with, and when
completed shall in all respects comply with all Applicable Law (as defined in
Article 23) and the terms and conditions of all permits and approvals. Landlord
reserves the right to make minor changes and substitutions to the Plans in
connection with the construction of the Initial Tenant Improvements, provided
same do not materially adversely modify the Plans. Landlord agrees to use all
reasonable efforts to substantially complete the Initial Tenant Improvements by
December 31, 1993. Landlord agrees to schedule bi-weekly meetings with Tenant
during the construction period for the Initial Tenant Improvements in order to

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

(c) The Initial Tenant Improvements shall be deemed substantially complete on
the date as of which a certificate of occupancy has been received from the City
of Boston and delivered to Tenant and a certificate of Landlord’s architect has
been delivered to Tenant stating that the Initial Tenant Improvements have been
substantially completed in accordance with subsection (b) above, and only
punch-list type items remain to be completed, which punch-list items are to be
completed by Landlord as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (the
“Substantial Completion Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any delay in
the substantial completion of the Initial Tenant Improvements by Landlord is due
to: (i) any change in the Plans requested by Tenant; (ii) any request by Tenant
for a delay in the commencement or completion of the Initial Tenant Improvements
for any reason; or (iii) any other act or omission of Tenant or its employees,
agents or contractors; then; for the purposes of establishing the Term
Commencement Date only, the Substantial Completion Date shall be deemed to be
the date the Initial Tenant Improvements would have been substantially
completed, if not for the foregoing. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with the
benefit of any manufacturer’s warranties for equipment and fixtures in the
Premises, the maintenance and repair of which are Tenant’s responsibility
hereunder.

(d) Tenant shall give Landlord specific written notice of any defects or
incomplete remaining items of work with respect to the Initial Tenant

contained in such notice, Tenant shall be deemed satisfied with the Initial
Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall be deemed to have completed all of its
obligations under this Article 3 and Tenant shall have no claim that Landlord
has failed to perform in full its obligations hereunder. Landlord agrees to use
all reasonable efforts to correct or complete such items of work as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Term Commencement Date. Landlord agrees to
provide Tenant with the benefit of any warranty or guaranty received by Landlord
from the contractor performing the construction of the Initial Tenant
Improvements, Landlord agreeing to obtain customary construction warranties from
its general contractor. Landlord agrees that if such construction warranties
from its general contractor do not include a one year warranty regarding HVAC

having any necessary balancing and adjusting performed during such one-year
period.

(e) This lease is subject to the Landlord obtaining all permits, licenses and
approvals necessary to allow Landlord to construct the Initial Tenant

complete the Initial Tenant Improvements, then this lease may be terminated by
Landlord by written notice to Tenant.

(a) Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the
performance of all work, if any, necessary in Tenant’s discretion to prepare the

shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (such plans and specifications,
when approved by Landlord, are hereinafter referred to as the “Additional
Plans”). Landlord shall not be deemed unreasonable in not approving matters
therein which, among other things, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would
cause additional delay or any expense or unreasonable inconvenience to Landlord
in the construction, operation or maintenance of or insurance upon the Premises
or Building or any related machinery, equipment or other property, or which are
aesthetically inappropriate to the Building, or which would conflict with the
design or function of the balance of the Building.

compatible with that being employed for the NEMC Work and shall not employ or
permit the use of any labor or otherwise take any action which might result in a
labor dispute involving personnel providing work or services in connection with
the NEMC Work. If Tenant believes that compliance with the preceding sentence
during such period will require Tenant to expend extra funds or pay a premium
for labor and materials in connection with the Additional Tenant Improvements or
any other Alterations, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable
additional cost, if any, in complying with the preceding sentence, provided the
following procedure shall apply and be followed:

(the “Bid Plans”). The Bid Plans shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, as
provided in subsection (b) above, and the Work as depicted on the Bid Plans

(3) Based upon the Bid Plans, the Landlord shall thereafter proceed using
reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary permits and approvals for the

conformance with the Bid Plans, and shall be performed in a good and workmanlike
fashion using new materials and in a first-class manner and within the time
provided for completion specified in Tenant’s contractor’s bid. Landlord
reserves the right to make minor changes and substitutions to the Bid Plans,
provided same do not materially adversely modify the Bid Plans. The Work shall
be deemed substantially complete on the date as of which a certificate of
occupancy has been received from the City of Boston and delivered to Tenant for
the Work and the Work has been substantially completed in accordance with this
paragraph, with only punch-list type items remaining to be completed, which
punch-list items are to be completed by Landlord’s contractor as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter. Tenant shall give Landlord specific written
notice of any defects or incomplete remaining items of work with respect to the
Work within ten (10) days of the substantial completion of the Work; and except
with respect to the items contained in such notice, Tenant shall be deemed
satisfied with the Work and Landlord shall be deemed to have completed all of
its obligations under this subsection (e) and Tenant shall have no claim that
Landlord has failed to perform in full its obligations hereunder. Landlord

invoices from time to time for work performed or materials supplied pursuant to
the construction contract (which shall be certified by Landlord as due under the

that if the total cost of construction of the Work is less than the Bid Amount,
Tenant shall only have paid such lesser amount), and any costs over the Bid
Amount (subject to the following sentence) shall be borne by the Landlord. The
Tenant shall remain responsible, and shall promptly pay or reimburse Landlord,
for all permit and approval costs and other costs of the Work not included in
the Bid Amount, and for any costs and expenses of construction due to: (i) any
change in the Bid Plans requested by Tenant; (ii) any request by Tenant for a
delay in the commencement or completion of the Work for any reason; or (iii) any

sooner termination of this Lease. If Landlord shall fail to exercise such
option, Tenant shall remove such Alterations at Tenant’s cost upon expiration or

to the Premises or property therein or occurrences thereon shall, if it can be
so written without additional premium or with an additional premium which the
other party agrees to pay, include a clause or endorsement denying to the
insurer rights of subrogation against the other party. Neither Landlord nor
Tenant shall be liable to the other or to any insurance company (by way of
subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for any loss or damage to any
building, structure or other tangible property, or any resulting loss of income,
or losses under worker’s compensation laws and benefits, even though such loss
or damage might have been occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents
or employees if any such loss or damage is covered by insurance benefiting the
party suffering such loss or damage or which is customarily covered by any
insurance required to be carried hereunder, to the extent of such coverage.

 

12. DAMAGE TO THE PREMISES

12.1 Landlord’s Right to Terminate. If a portion of the Premises or the Building
is substantially damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord may terminate this
Lease as of the date of such damage by giving Tenant written notice of such
termination within sixty (60) days of such fire or casualty.

 

- 14 -

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

12.2 Landlord’s Obligation to Repair. In the event that Landlord elects not to
terminate this Lease as aforesaid, then this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect and Landlord shall promptly repair the damage and restore the
Premises, excluding Tenant’s personal property, fixtures, furniture, equipment
and floor coverings, to substantially the condition thereof immediately prior to
such damage. Landlord’s obligation to repair such damage and restore the
Premises shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds made available
to Landlord and allocated for the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any
inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant
resulting from delays in repairing such damage.

12.3 Rent Abatement. For so long as such damage renders the Premises or a
portion thereof unsuitable for Tenant’s use thereof immediately prior to the
occurrence of such fire or casualty, a just and proportionate abatement of Fixed
Rent shall be made, provided that such damage is not due to the fault or neglect
of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents.

12.4 Tenant’s Option to Terminate. If damage to the Premises or to the Building
renders the Premises substantially unsuitable for Tenant’s use thereof
immediately prior to the occurrence of such fire or casualty, and provided that
the damage was not due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents,
then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease prior to the time such damage is
repaired if and only if either:

a. Landlord fails to give written notice within sixty (60) days of said fire or
casualty of its intention to restore the Premises; or

b. Landlord fails to restore the Premises to a condition suitable for the
Permitted Use within one hundred eighty (180) days of said fire or casualty,
provided such failure is not due to the action or inaction of Tenant, Tenant’s
Agents, or causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.

Tenant shall exercise its option to terminate by giving written notice to
Landlord within thirty days after Landlord’s failure to notify or failure to
restore, as specified above.

12.5 Definitions. The term “substantial damage” as used herein shall refer to
damage of such character that the same cannot in the ordinary course be
reasonably expected to be repaired, within one hundred twenty (120) days from
the time that such work would commence.

 

13. EMINENT DOMAIN

In the event that the whole of the Premises or Landlord’s Property shall be
lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for public or quasi-public use, this
Lease shall forthwith terminate as of the date of divesting of Landlord’s title.

In the event that only a part of the Premises or Landlord’s Property shall be so
condemned or taken, then, if such condemnation or taking is results in any of
the following, either Landlord or Tenant may by delivery of notice in writing to
the other within sixty (60) days following the date on which Landlord’s title
has been divested by such authority, terminate this Lease:

 

- 15 -

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

a. Results in the loss of reasonable access to the Premises, or renders the
Premises substantially unsuitable for Tenant’s use thereof immediately prior to
the occurrence of such taking;

b. Results in the loss to Tenant of twenty-five (25%) percent or more of the
floor area of the Premises; or

c. Results in loss of facilities in the Building that supply heat, air
conditioning, water, drainage, plumbing, electricity or other utilities to
Premises.

In the event that only a part of the Premises or Landlord’s Property shall be so
condemned or taken, then, if such condemnation or taking is substantial as
hereinafter defined, Landlord may, in addition, by delivery of notice in writing
within sixty (60) days following the date on which Landlord’s title has been
divested by such authority, terminate this Lease. “Substantial” shall mean any
condemnation or taking which:

a. Results in the loss of reasonable access to the Building, or renders the
Building substantially unsuitable for its then uses;

b. Results in the loss to Landlord of more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the
floor area of the Building or more than fifteen (15%) percent of the total area
of the land; or

c. Results in loss of facilities in the Building that supply heat, air
conditioning, water, drainage, plumbing, electricity or other utilities to
Building.

If this Lease is not terminated as aforesaid or if such condemnation or taking
is not substantial, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
except that the Fixed Rent shall be equitably abated as of the date of divesting
of title. Landlord shall, with reasonable diligence and at its expense, restore
the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to the same
condition as it was prior to such condemnation or taking. Landlord’s obligation
to restore the remaining portion of the Premises shall be limited to the extent
of the condemnation proceeds made available therefor to Landlord.

In the event of any condemnation or taking, Landlord shall be entitled to
receive the entire award in the condemnation proceedings, including any award
made for the value of the estate vested by this Lease in Tenant, and Tenant
hereby expressly assigns to Landlord any and all right, title and interest of
Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to any such award or any part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to bring a separate
condemnation proceeding for relocation expenses and trade fixtures, or to bring
other claims, payable in the manner and extent as, and if, provided by law,
provided such awards do not reduce the awards to Landlord on account of such
condemnation or taking.

15. LANDLORD’S SERVICES

15.1 Electric Current.

a. Landlord shall install and maintain at its cost separate electric meters for
measuring electricity furnished to the Premises. Tenant shall contract with the
company supplying electrical current for the purchase and obtaining of
electrical current directly from such company, which shall be billed directly to
and paid for by Tenant. This shall include all current used in the Premises,
including but not limited to all electricity used for heating, air conditioning
and ventilation, lighting, office equipment and machines.

b. If Tenant shall require electrical current for use in the Premises in excess
of the present capacities and if in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Landlord’s
facilities are inadequate for such excess requirements or such excess
requirements will result in an additional burden on the Building systems and
additional cost to Landlord on account thereof, then Landlord shall upon written
request and at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, furnish and install such
additional wires, conduits, feeders, switchboards and appurtenances as
reasonably may be required to supply such additional requirements of Tenant,
provided current therefor is available to Landlord, and provided further that
the same shall be permitted by applicable laws and insurance regulations and
shall not cause permanent damage to the Building or the Premises, cause or
create a dangerous or hazardous condition, entail unreasonable alterations or
repairs, or interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants of the
Building. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred by
Landlord on account thereof.

c. If requested by Tenant, Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, shall purchase and
install all replacement lamps (including, but not limited to, incandescent and
fluorescent lights) used in the Premises.

d. Landlord shall not in any way be liable or responsible to Tenant for any
loss, damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if the quantity,
character or supply of electrical energy is changed or is no longer available or
suitable for Tenant’s requirements.

e. Except as may be disclosed in the Additional Plans (and thereby approved by
Landlord), Tenant agrees that it shall not make any material alteration or
material addition to the electrical equipment or appliances in the Premises
without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and Tenant shall promptly advise
Landlord of any other alteration or addition to such electrical equipment
appliances.

15.2 Water. Landlord shall furnish hot and cold water to the Premises or to a
common area lavatory for ordinary office cleaning, toilet, lavatory and drinking
purposes. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose other than
for the aforementioned purposes, Landlord may (a) assess a reasonable charge for
the additional water used or consumed by Tenant; or (b) install a water meter
and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption for all

 

- 17 -

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

purposes. In the latter event, Landlord shall pay the cost of the meter and the
cost of installation thereof and shall keep said meter and installation
equipment in good working order and repair. Tenant agrees to pay for water
consumed, as shown on said meter, together with the sewer use charge based on
said meter charges as and when bills are rendered. On default in making such
payment, Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant as
additional rent hereunder.

15.3 Elevators, Heat. Landlord shall: (a) provide elevator facilities (which may
be manually or automatically operated, either or both, as Landlord may from time
to time elect) during Business Hours and have one elevator in operation
available for Tenant’s use, non-exclusively together with others having business
in the Building, at all other times that the Building is open; and (b) furnish
heat (in amounts as are customarily provided by buildings of the same age,
condition and character as the Building) to the Premises and to Common Areas of
the Building during Business Hours during the normal heating season, Landlord
shall provide heat the Premises at times in addition to Business Hours, at
Tenant’s Expense (as Special Services hereunder), provided Tenant gives Landlord
reasonable prior notice (as shall be established by Landlord) of its need for
such after-hours heat. As of the date hereof, such notice must be given no later
than 12:00 noon for after-hours heat in the evenings and no later than 12:00
noon on Fridays for weekend heat.

15.4 Interruption or Curtailment of Services. Landlord reserves the right to
interrupt, curtail, stop or suspend (a) the furnishing of elevator and other
services, and (b) the operation of the plumbing and electric systems whenever
necessary for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements desirable or
necessary to be made in the reasonable judgment of Landlord or whenever
necessary due to accident or emergency, difficulty or inability in securing
supplies or labor strikes, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of
Landlord, whether such other cause is similar or dissimilar to those hereinabove
specified, until said cause has been removed. Except when caused by the gross
negligence of Landlord, there shall be no diminution or abatement of rent or
other compensation due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall this Lease
be affected or any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder reduced, and Landlord shall
have no responsibility or liability for any such interruption, curtailment,
stoppage or suspension of services or systems, except that Landlord shall
exercise all due diligence to eliminate the cause of same.

15.5 Energy Conservation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Lease, Landlord may institute such reasonable policies, programs or
measures as may be necessary, required or expedient for the conservation and/or
preservation of energy or energy services, provided either the majority of
similar buildings in Boston, Massachusetts are subject to similar policies,
programs or measures, or such are necessary or required to comply with
applicable governmental codes, rules, regulations or standards.

15.6 Tenant Directory. Landlord agrees to maintain a tenant directory in the
lobby of the Building in which a reasonable number of listings will be placed
identifying Tenant and the location of the Premises in the Building. Landlord
reserves the right to charge Tenant a reasonable fee for each such listing;
however, Landlord shall provide Tenant with two (2) listings at no cost to
Tenant.

 

- 18 -

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

16. ACCESS

The Building shall remain open during all Business Hours, except as provided
herein, and Tenant’s servants, employees, agents and business invitees shall
have the free and uninterrupted right of access in common with others entitled
thereto to the Premises during Business Hours. Subject to reasonable security
measures, Tenant and its employees and, if escorted by employees, guests and
business invitees, shall have access to the Premises at all other times.

 

17. SUBLEASE AND ASSIGNMENT

17.1 Generally. Tenant shall not voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of
law assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber the Lease or any interest
of Tenant therein, in whole or in part of the Premises or permit the Premises or
any part thereof to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written
consent of Landlord. A transfer of a majority of Tenant’s stock or a transfer or
change of control of Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation), or a change in the
composition of persons or entities owning any interest in Tenant (if Tenant is
not a corporation), or any transfer of Tenant’s interest in the Lease by
operation of law or by merger or consolidation of Tenant with or into any other
entity, firm or corporation, shall be deemed an assignment for purposes of this
Article 17. Any subletting or assignment pursuant to this Article shall be
subject to and conditioned upon the following:

(a) at the time of any proposed subletting or assignment, Tenant shall not be in
default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease;

(b) the sublessee or assignee shall occupy only the Premises and conduct its
business in accordance with the Permitted Use;

(c) prior to occupancy, Tenant and its assignee or sublessee shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a fully executed counterpart of a written
assignment of lease or a written sublease, as the case may be, by the terms of
which:

(1) in case of an assignment, Tenant shall assign to such assignee Tenant’s
entire interest in this Lease, together with all prepaid rents hereunder, and
the assignee shall accept said assignment and assume and agree to perform
directly for the benefit of Landlord all of the terms, covenants and conditions
of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed; or

(2) in case of a subletting, the sublessee thereunder shall agree to be bound by
and to perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on the
Tenant’s part to be performed, except the payments of rents, charges and other
sums reserved hereunder, which Tenant shall continue to be obligated to pay and
shall pay to Landlord;

(d) Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly one-half of the excess of the rents and
other charges received by Tenant pursuant to the assignment or sublease over the
rents and other charges reserved to Landlord under this Lease attributable to
the space assigned or sublet, less Tenant’s reasonable costs of such assignment
or sublet, excluding any buildout or fit-up costs;

 

- 19 -

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

(e) Tenant shall acknowledge that, notwithstanding such assignment or sublease
and consent of Landlord thereto, Tenant shall not be released or discharged from
any liability whatsoever under this Lease and will continue to be liable
(jointly and severally with the assignee) with the same force and effect as
though no assignment or sublease had been made; and

(f) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of One Thousand ($1,000) Dollars to
cover Landlord’s administrative costs, overhead and attorneys’ fees in
connection with each such assignment or subletting.

17.2 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to
a proposed transfer, sublease or assignment pursuant to the preceding
Section 17.1. Landlord’s failure to consent shall be deemed unreasonable if the
conditions set forth in Subsections 17.1(a) - 17.1(f) are met and if:

a. The proposed assignment or subletting is to be made to a parent, subsidiary
or successor corporation in connection with the reorganization of Tenant or to a
partnership of which Tenant is a general partner, provided the net worth of such
successor is at least equal to the greater of the net worth of Tenant as of the
Term Commencement Date or the net worth of the Tenant as of the date of the
proposed transfer and provided the successor has a good reputation in the
community; or

b. The proposed assignee or subtenant has a good credit rating, which shall be
at least equal to that of Tenant as of the Term Commencement Date, and
demonstrable ability to comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease, a
good reputation in the community and the proposed use by such subtenant or
assignee (even though Permitted Use) could not in Landlord’s reasonable opinion
be expected to detract from the character of the Building at the time of the
proposed assignment or sublease.

Landlord may withhold its consent if said transfer, sublease or assignment is
not approved by the holder of any mortgage on Landlord’s Property.

17.3 No Waiver. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not
in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent of
Landlord to any further assignment or subletting for the use of all or any part
of the Premises, nor shall the collection of rent by Landlord from any assignee,
sublessee or other occupant after default by Tenant be deemed a waiver of this
covenant or the acceptance of such assignee, sublessee or occupant as tenant or
a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the obligations in
this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed.

 

18. SUBORDINATION

This Lease is subject and subordinate to any ground leases and real estate
mortgages to any lender prior to or subsequent to the date of execution and
delivery of this Lease and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements or extensions thereof, provided that, with respect to ground leases
and real estate mortgages subsequent to the date of execution and delivery of
this Lease, each such ground lessor or mortgagee enters into an agreement, in
customary form, recognizing Tenant under this Lease and providing that, in the
event of

 

- 20 -

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

foreclosure or termination of a ground lease, Tenant shall remain undisturbed
under this Lease if Tenant is not in default under any of the terms and
conditions of the Lease. In confirmation of the foregoing, Tenant shall, upon
the request of Landlord, promptly execute and deliver all such instruments as
may be appropriate to subordinate this Lease to any mortgages securing notes
issued by Landlord and to all advances made thereunder and to the interest
thereon and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, provided that
(with respect to a subsequent mortgage or ground lease) such nondisturbance is
granted by such mortgagee or ground lessee. At the request of Landlord, Tenant
shall join in a subordination agreement requested by any mortgagee who desires
to subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, provided, however, that the
provisions of said mortgage relating to the receipt and application of insurance
proceeds and condemnation awards shall in no event be subordinated to this
Lease. Landlord represents that, as of this date, the only mortgagee of
Landlord’s Property is Sun Life Insurance Company.

 

19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

Tenant shall, at any time during the Term, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s
request therefor, deliver a duly executed and acknowledged written instrument to
Landlord or to a person or entity specified by Landlord in customary form
certifying:

(a) That the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if there has
been any modification, that the same is in full force and effect, as modified
and stating any such modification;

(b) Whether or not there are any existing setoffs or defenses against the
enforcement of any of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of this
Lease and any modifications thereof on the part of Tenant to be performed or
complied with, and if so, specifying the same; and

(c) The date to which Fixed Rent and all additional rent and other charges have
been paid.

Upon Tenant’s failure to deliver timely the estoppel certificate, Landlord may
give Tenant an additional written notice; and the failure by Tenant to deliver
the estoppel certificate within ten (10) days after such additional written
notice shall constitute as to any person entitled to rely upon such statements
an acknowledgment that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and
a waiver of any defaults which may exist prior to the date of such notice.

 

20. MORTGAGEE’S RIGHTS

In the event any mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease:

(a) the mortgagee shall not be liable for any act or omission of any prior
landlord (including Landlord);

(b) the mortgagee shall not be liable for the return of any security deposit
unless the same has been received by mortgagee from Landlord and mortgagee
acknowledges receipt in writing of said deposit;

 

- 21 -

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

(c) the mortgagee shall not be bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant
might have prepaid for more than the then current month under the Lease;

(d) the mortgagee shall not be bound by any amendments or modifications of the
Lease made after the date Tenant receives notice of the name and address of such
mortgagee, without the consent of mortgagee; and

(e) the mortgagee shall not be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant
might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord).

 

21. NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE AND GROUND LESSOR

After receiving notice from any person, firm or other entity that it holds a
mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that
it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord as ground lessee, which
includes the Premises as a part of the demised premises, no notice from Tenant
to Landlord with respect to any default or claimed default of Landlord hereunder
shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such holder
or ground lessor at the address as specified in said notice (as it may from time
to time be changed), and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder
or ground lessor within no more than thirty (30) days from the date of said
notice shall be treated as performance by Landlord. If such default by Landlord
by its nature cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, such holder or ground
lessor shall be given such additional time as is reasonably necessary, provided
such holder or ground lessor has commenced diligently to correct such default
and thereafter diligently pursues such correction to completion, For the
purposes of this Article 21, the term “mortgage” includes a mortgage on a
leasehold interest of Landlord ( but not one on Tenant’s leasehold interest).

25. RIGHTS OF LANDLORD UPON TENANT’S DEFAULT

25.1 Landlord’s Remedies. In the event any default shall continue beyond any
applicable notice or grace period hereunder (notwithstanding any waiver, license
or indulgence granted by Landlord with respect to the same or any other default
in any former instance), Landlord shall have the right, then or at any time
thereafter, at its sole election either

(a) to terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, which termination shall
take effect on the date of Landlord’s dispatch of said notice or on any later
date (on or prior to the expiration of the current portion of the Term)
specified in Landlord’s termination notice; or

(b) to enter upon and take possession of the Premises (or any part thereof in
the name of the whole) without demand or notice, and repossess the same as of
the Landlord’s former estate, expelling Tenant and those claiming under Tenant,
forcibly if necessary, without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and
without prejudice to any other remedy for any default hereunder.

Landlord’s repossession of the Premises under this Article shall not be
construed to effect a termination of the Lease, unless Landlord sends Tenant a
written notice of termination as required hereunder.

25.2 Reletting. Landlord shall have the right (at its sole election and whether
or not this Lease shall be terminated under Section 25.1) to relet the Premises
or any part thereof for

 

- 25 -

such period or periods (which may extend beyond the Term) and at such rent or
rents and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord may reasonably deem
advisable, and in connection with any such reletting, Landlord may make or cause
to be made such additions, alterations and improvements to the Premises as
Landlord may deem advisable. In the event that this Lease is terminated,
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises; however,
reasonable efforts shall not require Landlord to give any special priority to
the reletting of the Premises or give the Premises any preference over the
letting of any other space in the Building.

25.3 Removal of Goods. If Landlord shall terminate this Lease or take possession
of the Premises by reason of a default, Tenant, and those claiming under Tenant,
shall forthwith remove their goods and effects from the Premises. If Tenant or

to Tenant or to those claiming under Tenant, may remove such goods and effects
and may store the same for the account of Tenant or of the owner thereof in any
place selected by Landlord or, at Landlord’s sole election, Landlord may sell
the same at public auction or at private sale on such terms and conditions as to
price, payment and otherwise as Landlord, in its sole judgment, may deem
advisable. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of removal, storage and
sale, and Landlord shall have the right to reimburse itself from the proceeds of
any such sale for all such costs paid or incurred by Landlord. If any surplus
sale proceeds shall remain after such reimbursement, Landlord may deduct from
such surplus any other sum due to Landlord hereunder and shall pay over to
Tenant the remaining balance of such surplus sale proceeds, if any.

25.4 Current Damages. No termination or repossession provided for in
Section 25.1 shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder
(or under its instrument of guarantee), all of which shall survive such
termination or repossession. In the event of any such termination or
repossession, Tenant shall pay Landlord, in advance, on the first day of each
month (and pro rata for the fraction of any month) for what would have been the
entire balance of the original Term or of the current extension period,
one-twelfth of the Annual Rental for the Premises, as defined in Section 25.5
hereof, less the proceeds (if any) of any reletting of the Premises which remain
after deducting Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such
reletting. Such expenses shall include, without limitation, removal, storage and
remodeling costs, the cost of painting and refurbishing the Premises and
attorneys’ and brokers’ fees.

25.5 Annual Rental. The Annual Rental for the Premises shall be the total of the
Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses, and all
other charges payable by Tenant (whether or not to Landlord) for the lease year
ending next prior to such termination or repossession.

25.6 Intentionally Deleted.

25.7 Remedies Cumulative. Any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may
have under this Lease and at law and equity shall be cumulative and shall not be
deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and
remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as permitted by law.

25.8 Landlord’s Right to Cure Defaults. Landlord shall have the right but not
the obligation, to cure at any time upon ten (10) days written notice, and in
the event of an

 

- 26 -

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

emergency without notice, any default by Tenant under the Lease. Whenever
Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, in curing a default shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord on demand, as additional rent hereunder, together with interest thereon
from the date of payment by Landlord to the date of payment Tenant at the rate
of twelve (12%) percent per annum.

25.9 Costs of Enforcement. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay all reasonable
costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred by the other party in enforcing its obligations or the other party’s
rights under this Lease, provided that the other party shall prevail.

 

26. NO WAIVER; NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION

26.1 No Waiver. Any consent or permission by Landlord or Tenant to any act or
omission which otherwise would be a default hereunder or any waiver by Landlord
or Tenant of the terms, covenants or conditions herein, shall not in any way be
held or construed to operate so as to impair the continuing obligation of any
term, covenant or condition herein, or to permit any similar acts or omissions.
The failure of Landlord to seek redress for a violation of, or to insist upon
the strict performance of, any covenant, condition or obligation of this Lease
shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act,
which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force
and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of any rent with
knowledge of any default hereunder shall not be deemed to have been a waiver of
such default, unless such waiver is in writing signed by the Landlord.

26.2 No Accord and Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than
any sum due under any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than
on account of the earliest installment of such sum due, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any check or
payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check
or payment without prejudice to any rights to recover the balance of such
installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.

 

27. RECORDING

Landlord and Tenant agree not to record this Lease or any portion thereof;
however, Landlord and Tenant each agree upon request of the other to execute and
deliver to the other a notice of lease or short form of lease suitable for
recording and setting forth the name of the Landlord and the Tenant, the term of
the Lease and an appropriate description of the Premises.

In no event shall Landlord be liable for any default hereunder unless the same
occurs during and within the period of time that it is the owner of and in
possession of Landlord’s Property. In no event and under no circumstances shall
Landlord be liable to Tenant for any consequential damages in connection with
any act of Landlord, its agents or servants. The placement by Tenant of any
goods, wares and merchandise in the Premises or any areas within Landlord’s
Property shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant. Neither Landlord nor
any agent or employee of Landlord shall be liable for any damage to the person
or property of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, including but not limited to damage

specifically understood and agreed that the monetary liability of Landlord
hereunder shall be limited to its equity in the Premises in the event of a
default under this Lease by Landlord. In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant
hereby agrees that any judgment it may obtain against Landlord as a result of a
breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall be enforceable
solely against Landlord’s fee interest in the Premises. Nothing in this Lease
shall be construed in any event whatsoever to impose any personal liability
upon-any trustee, beneficiary, shareholder or officer of Landlord.

hereof; (ii) the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of Article 35
hereof; (iii) any indemnifications of Landlord contained in this Lease; or
(iv) any liability relating to or arising from Tenant’s particular use of the
Premises (as opposed to general office use).

 

29. FORCE MAJEURE

performance thereof shall be extended by a period equal to any delay caused by
or resulting from Act of God, war, civil commotion, fire or other casualty,
labor difficulties, shortages of labor, materials or equipment, governmental
regulations, or other causes beyond such party’s reasonable control, whether
such times are designated by a fixed time or a “reasonable time”. This clause
shall not be applicable to any payment of rent or other charges due from Tenant
to Landlord.

discharged by payment in full within thirty (30) days thereafter or by filing
the bond required by law. If Tenant fails to discharge any such lien, Landlord
may do so at Tenant’s expense and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any
expense or cost incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, within fifteen
(15) days of receipt of Landlord’s bill therefor.

 

31. DEFINITIONS

32. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE

If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance is declared invalid or unenforceable by
the final ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction having final review, the
remaining terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease and their
application to persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby and will
continue to be enforced and recognized as valid agreements of the parties; in
the place of such invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be substituted
a like, but valid and enforceable provision which comports to the findings of

parties.

- 31 -

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

Tenant is not in default after any notice and cure periods hereunder under any
of the terms and conditions of this lease at the time it exercises such option
to extend or at the commencement of such extension; and (ii) Tenant has given
Landlord written notice of its election to extend the Term no later than nine
(9) months prior to the expiration date of the original Term. If Tenant fails to
give such notice to Landlord by such date, Tenant’s rights under this Article 41
shall be deemed waived and of no further force and effect. In the event that
Tenant shall extend the Term as aforesaid, such extension shall be upon the same
terms and conditions as set forth herein, except that:

(a) After the extension period, there shall be no further option to extend the
Term; and

(b) The annual Fixed Rent hereunder shall be adjusted as provided in this
Article.

41.2 Fixed Rent During Extension Period. The annual Fixed Rent hereunder during
the extension period shall be determined and adjusted as follows:

During such extension period, commencing on the first day of the sixth lease
year, the annual Fixed Rent payable hereunder shall be in the amount of the Fair
Market Rent, as hereinafter determined, but in no event shall such annual Fixed
Rent be less than $150,880 per year.

The “Fair Market Rent” shall be the market rate for the rental of the Premises,
based upon the average current market rate of space leased in the Building and
the terms of this Lease, as of the date of the expiration of the Term, but in no
event shall the Fair Market Rent be less than- $150,880 per year, and the Fair
Market Rent shall be determined as follows:

(i) After the exercise by Tenant of its option to extend the Term, Landlord
shall, not later than 60 days prior to the expiration of the Term, advise Tenant
in writing its determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for the
extension period. Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Fair Market Rent
contained in Landlord’s notice, and such rental rate shall be conclusively
deemed to be the Fair Market Rent of the Premises for the extension Term, unless
Tenant notifies Landlord in writing, within 10 days after Landlord’s notice,
that Tenant disputes the aforementioned determination by Landlord.

(ii) In the event that Tenant disputes the determination of the Fair Market Rent
by Landlord (as provided above), and the Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree
on the Fair Market Rent for the Premises at least 30 days prior to the
expiration of the Term, the same shall be determined by arbitration as follows:

1. Landlord and Tenant shall each promptly designate and notify the other party
of the name and address of an appraiser selected by such party. Such two
appraisers shall, within twenty (20) days after the designation of the second of
the appraisers, make their determinations of the Fair Market Rent in writing and
give notice thereof to each other and to Landlord and Tenant. Such two
(2) appraisers shall have twenty (20) days after the receipt of notice of each
other’s determination to confer with each other and to attempt to reach
agreement as to the determination of the Fair Market Rent. If such appraisers:
shall concur in such determination,

 

- 32 -

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

they shall give notice thereof to Landlord and Tenant and such concurrence shall
be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If such appraisers shall fail to
concur as to such determination within said twenty (20) day period, they shall
give notice thereto to Landlord and Tenant and shall immediately designate a
third appraiser. If the two appraisers shall fail to agree upon the designation
of such third appraiser within five (5) days after said twenty (20) day period,
then they or either of them shall give notice of such failure to agree to
Landlord and Tenant and if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the selection
of such third appraiser within five (5) days after the appraiser(s) appointed by
the parties give notice as aforesaid, then either party on behalf of both may
apply to the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereto, or on
his or her failure, refusal or inability to, act, to a court of competent
jurisdiction, for the designation of such third appraiser. The third appraiser
shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she may deem appropriate
and shall, within ten (10) days after the date of his or her designation, make
an independent determination of the Fair Market Rent, which shall be final and
binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

2. All appraisers shall be real estate appraisers or consultants who shall have
had at least seven (7) years continuous experience in the business of appraising
real estate in the downtown Boston real estate leasing market.

3. The determination of the appraisers, as provided above, shall be conclusive
upon the parties and shall have the same force and effect as a judgment made in
a court of competent jurisdiction.

4. Each party shall pay fees, costs and expenses of the appraiser selected by it
and its own counsel fees and one-half (1/2) of all other expenses and fees of
any such appraisal.

If the parties are unable to agree on the Fixed Rent (or the arbitration has not
concluded) prior to the first day of an extension period, Tenant shall make
monthly payments on account of Fixed Rent (in addition to all other rent and
other payments hereunder) in the amount of 125% of the Fixed Rent payable during
the preceding lease year of the Term, until such annual Fixed Rent amount has
been established as herein provided, at which time an appropriate retroactive
rent adjustment payment or credit shall be made, if necessary.

41.3 Additional Rent during Extension Period. In addition to Fixed Rent (as
determined and adjusted as provided in this Article), during the extension
period Tenant shall continue to pay all other rent as provided in this lease,
including Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes and all
other charges hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereunto set their hands and seals as of
November 10, 1993.

of the first day of the 5th Lease Year. For purposes hereof, “Net Effective
Rent” shall mean the rent (e.g., rents generally offered for leases which by
their term provide for a base rent only with a separate rental payment for
Tenant’s allocable share of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the
Building, excluding therefrom any market concessions such as work performed by
landlord, tenant improvements allowances or leasing commissions or other costs
and expenses for the lease transaction because Landlord is not incurring those
costs upon a renewal), generally in effect for comparable space on comparable
floors with comparable views in comparable office buildings of age similar to
the Building located in the Boston commercial office market with tenants of
comparable financial credit for leases commencing on or about the date for which
the “Net Effective Rent” is to be determined. “Fair Market Rent” shall be
determined as follows:

(1) Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing (“Landlord’s Notice”) of its
determination of the Fair Market Rent not more than 180 days and not less than
120 days prior to the beginning of the 5th Lease Year (if Landlord shall fail to
send Landlord’s Notice by such date, Tenant shall send a written reminder notice
to Landlord, and Landlord shall send Landlord’s Notice within 15 days after
receipt of said reminder notice). Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the
rental rate contained in Landlord’s notice, and such rental rate shall be
conclusively deemed to be the Fair Market Rent unless Tenant notifies Landlord
in writing, within 15 days after Tenant received Landlord’s Notice, that Tenant
disputes Landlord’s determination.

(2) If Tenant disputes the determination of the Fair Market Rent by Landlord (as
provided above), and Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Market
Rent for the Premises within thirty (30) days, the same shall be determined as
follows:

Landlord and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following the expiration of
said thirty (30) day period provided in subsection (2) above, each appoint a
licensed real estate broker who has been actively engaged in the leasing of
office space in

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

comparable office buildings in the Boston real estate market for not less than
ten (10) years immediately preceding the date of appointment and shall not be a
sole practitioner and shall not have represented such party in the prior 5 years
(each an “Appraiser” and collectively, the “Appraisers”). Within thirty
(30) days after being retained, the Appraisers shall each make an independent
determination of Fair Market Rent. If the difference between the Appraisers’
values is equal to or less than five percent (5%), then the Fair Market Rent
shall be the average of the sum of the Appraisers’ values. If the difference
between the Appraisers’ values is greater than five percent (5%), then the
Appraisers shall jointly and promptly choose a third real estate broker, having
the same qualifications as those set forth above for Appraisers (the “Arbiter”)
to whom the Appraisers shall submit in writing their respective determinations
of the Fair Market Rent. Within thirty (30) days after being retained, the
Arbiter shall offer the Arbiter’s determination of Fair Market Rent. If the Fair
Market Rent determined by the Arbiter lies between the Appraisers’ values, then
Fair Market Rent shall be the average of the sum of (A) the Arbiter’s value and
(B) the Appraiser’s value nearest to the Arbiter’s value. If the Arbiter’s
determination of Fair Market Rent is either higher or lower than both of the
Appraisers’ values, then Fair Market Rent shall be the average of the sum of the
two nearest values.

If the Appraisers cannot agree on an Arbiter within ten (10) business days after
the expiration of the Appraisal Period, then either party may apply to the
American Arbitration Association office in Boston, Massachusetts in charge of
real estate valuation arbitrations for appointment of the Arbiter.

If neither the Appraisers nor the Arbiter have finally determined Fair Market
Rent prior to the date on which Fixed Rent based upon such Fair Market Rent is
to go into effect pursuant to Section 2(b) herein, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent
based upon Landlord’s Notice (the “Interim Rent”), subject to adjustment upon
final determination of the Fair Market Rent. In the event the Fair Market Rent,
as finally determined by the above procedure, is (i) in excess of the Interim
Rent, Tenant, within thirty (30) days following such final determination, shall
pay over to Landlord all such accumulated excess, or (ii) less than the Interim
Rent, Landlord, within thirty (30) days following such final determination,
shall pay over to Tenant all such accumulated excess or shall allow Tenant a
credit equal to such excess against Fixed Rent next coming due hereunder.
