preceding such computation date, and the denominator of which shall be the CPI
number for February, 2001. The sum of the Additional Rental thereby obtained
shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month until the next
computation date. If there be no CPI number or comparable successor thereto,

Road and Park Proportionate Share (as the case may be) payable as Additional
Rental shall be made for the beginning and end of this Lease term, provided the
Lease term has terminated by lapse of time or pursuant to Paragraphs 26 or 27
hereof. However, Landlord's failure to provide such Building Proportionate Share
of Taxes, Insurance, and Building Operating Costs; Proportionate Share of
Limited Common Facilities Maintenance Costs and; Road and Park Proportionate
Share of Road and Park Operating Costs by the date set forth above shall in no
way excuse Tenant from its obligation to pay said costs or charges or any of
them or constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to bill and collect such costs
or charges from Tenant in accordance with this Lease.

     7.4 In the event Landlord incurs any expenses which meet the definitions
above as Taxes, Insurance, Building Operating Costs, Limited Common Facilities
Maintenance Costs and/or Road and Park Operating Costs, which expenses are
unanticipated or not usually incurred by Landlord on a regular or scheduled

         7.5 In the event said Tenant, or Tenant's use and occupancy of the
Premises, causes, for any reason whatsoever, any additional charge or increase

the Tenant shall, from time to time immediately upon receipt of notice, do
whatever is deemed necessary, and follow whatever recommendations may be made,
by the Landlord or its Agents, or any other duly constituted authorized body, in
order that such additional charge or increase in rate of fire insurance on the
building so caused by such tenancy, use or occupancy of the Premises, by the
Tenant may be removed, or, in the event conditions are such that nothing can be
done, by way of improvements or otherwise, to remove such extra and additional
charge or increase of rate of fire insurance on the building, or the expense
involved is excessive, then the Tenant shall pay the Landlord as Additional
Rental the increased or additional cost of such fire insurance on the building.

         7.6 It is the intention of the Landlord and Tenant that the Basic
Rental shall be completely "net" to Landlord such that all Taxes, Insurance,

which said Landlord statement was issued within said sixty (60) day period shall
preclude Tenant from requesting said audit at any time thereafter. Landlord

accepted accounting principles and practices. Tenant shall not, at any time or
for any purpose or reason, disclose any of such non public information or
documentation to any person, firm or corporation except employees, financial

thereof as may be necessary, towards the remedying of any damage or condition

In no event shall Tenant be entitled to claim any damages arising out of or from
such damage or defective condition. Nothing, however, in this paragraph is
intended to relieve Landlord from the negligence or willful wrongdoing of itself
or its agents, servants, employees, invitees and/or contractors.

Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, invitees and/or contractors, and from

or default of Tenant. Tenant shall furnish liability insurance naming Landlord
as an additional insured, in the amount of $3,000,000.00, combined single limit
policy for bodily injury and property damage. Landlord shall have the right to
require Tenant to increase the amount of Tenant's insurance coverage set forth

furnish to Landlord a certificate of insurance which will provide by suitable
endorsements (a) that the contractual liability of Tenant hereunder is covered
thereby, and (b) that the insurance will not be canceled or substantially
changed without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord.

         17.2 The Landlord shall save the Tenant harmless and indemnified from

of the Park premises not within the Tenant's Premises, unless caused by the act,
negligence or default of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, invitees
and/or contractors, and from and against all injury, loss, claims or damage
(including, but not limited to, Tenant's costs of defense and reasonable
attorney's fees) to any person or property anywhere occasioned by any act,
negligence or default of Landlord. Landlord shall maintain public liability
insurance in amounts Landlord in its reasonable commercial judgment deems
necessary and appropriate, in companies qualified to do business in said state
insuring Landlord against injury to persons or damage to property as herein
provided.

         17.3 Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of such insurance at
or prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease, and thereafter within
ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies.

         18: BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY
         ----------------------------

         18.1 To more effectually secure the Landlord against loss of the rent
and other payments herein provided to be made by the Tenant, it is agreed as a
further condition of this Lease that the filing of any petition of bankruptcy or
insolvency by or against the Tenant, or the adjudication in Bankruptcy of the
Tenant, or the appointment of a Receiver for Tenant by any court, or Tenant's
assignment of its property for the benefit of creditors shall be deemed to
constitute a breach of this lease, if said petition is not dismissed or Receiver
discharged within sixty (60) days after the filing or appointment, and thereupon
without entry or other action by the Landlord, this Lease shall, at the option
of the Landlord, become and be terminated; and not withstanding any other
provisions of this Lease, the Landlord shall forthwith upon any such termination
be entitled to recover the rent reserved in this Lease for the residue of the
term hereof less the fair rental value of the Premises for the residue of said
term.

         19: LITIGATION
         --------------

         19.1 In the event the Landlord or its Agents, without fault on
its/their part, or default under

                                       20

<PAGE>

the terms of this Lease, become involved, through or on account of the occupancy
of the Premises by the Tenant, or the conduct of Tenant's business upon the
Premises, in any controversy or litigation, with any Third Party, the Tenant
shall upon notice from Landlord or its Agent, immediately take all necessary
steps, and do whatever may be necessary to remove said Landlord's connection
with, or liability under such controversy or litigation, and particularly if
such controversy or litigation throws any cloud or encumbrance upon the title of
said Landlord to its real estate; provided, that if the Tenant believes it has a
good and valid defense, or claim, in such controversy or litigation which Tenant
desires to set up and maintain by and throughout court procedure and litigation,
the Tenant shall have the right to do so, provided it first executes and
delivers to the Landlord an indemnifying bond with surety, and discharges any
and all final judgments, liens, costs, damages, expenses and obligations of
Landlord whatsoever, in or arising out of the controversy or litigation
involving the Landlord or its Agents, including all costs, expenses and
reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord or its agents in protecting
their interest or defending themselves in such controversy or litigation.

         20:  ATTORNEY'S FEES
         --------------------

         20.1 If the Landlord or Tenant shall at any time be at default
hereunder, and if the Landlord or Tenant shall institute an action, summary
proceeding or arbitration against the other party based upon any such default,
or if the Landlord or Tenant shall cure such default or defaults for the act of
the other party, then the Landlord or Tenant will reimburse the other party for
the expense of attorney's fees and disbursements thereby incurred by the other
party, so far as the same are reasonable in amount. Also so long as the Tenant
shall be a Tenant hereunder the amount of such expenses shall be deemed to be
"Additional Rent" hereunder and shall be due from the Tenant to the Landlord on
the first day of the month following the incurring of such respective expenses.
Similarly, if Landlord is required to reimburse Tenant under this Paragraph,
Landlord shall pay said reimbursement on the first day of the month following
the incurring of such respective expenses.

         21:  HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
         -------------------------

         21.1 The term "Hazardous Substance" shall mean any substance, chemical
or waste that is or shall be listed or defined as hazardous, toxic or dangerous
under Applicable Environmental Law, including, but not limited to PCB's and any
petroleum products, except commonly used cleaning products and products used in
common office machinery, i.e photocopiers, in amounts customary and reasonable
for normal office use.

         21.2 The term "Applicable Environmental Law" shall include, but shall
not be limited to, CERCLA, RCRA, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33
U.S.C.(S)(S)1251, et. seq., the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.(S)7401, et. seq., and
the regulations thereunder, and any other local, state and/or federal laws or
regulations, whether currently in existence or hereinafter enacted, that govern:

                                       21

<PAGE>

       (i)    the existence, cleanup and/or remedy of contamination on property;
       (ii)   the protection of the environment from spilled, deposited or
              otherwise emplaced contamination;
       (iii)  the control of hazardous wastes; or
       (iv)   the use, generation, transport, treatment, removal or recovery
              of hazardous substances, including building materials.

       21.3 On or before the Commencement Date Landlord shall, at Landlord's
sole cost and expense, provide to Tenant a Phase I Environmental Assessment of
the Building of which the Premises are a part from an environmental consultant
selected by Landlord (the "Initial Environmental Audit").

       21.4 Tenant shall not use, store, generate, treat, transport or dispose

or regulation, onto the Premises. Landlord may withdraw approval of any such
Hazardous Substances at any time, for reasonable causes related to the threat of
contamination, or damage or injury to persons, property or resources on the
Premises, the Building of which the Premises are a part or the Park. Upon
receipt of such disapproval, Tenant shall remove the Hazardous Substances from
the Premises or the Park. Landlord's failure to approve the use of a Hazardous
Substance under this paragraph shall not limit or affect Tenant's obligations
under this Lease, including Tenant's duty to remedy or remove releases or
threatened releases; and to comply with all applicable laws, federal, state and
local relating to the use, storage, generation, treatment, transportation and/or
disposal of such hazardous waste and/or Hazardous Substances.

       21.5 For any years in which Tenant has used, generated, treated, stored
or transported Hazardous Substances on or in the Premises or the Park, Tenant
shall provide Landlord with a written report (i) listing the substances which
were present on or in the Premises or the Park as a result of Tenant's use of
same (and provide copies of Material Safety Data Sheets [MSDS] with respect to
same and copies of all manifests required by State or Federal laws with regard
to disposal of any Federally-regulated hazardous waste or Connecticut-regulated
waste); (ii) all releases of Hazardous Substances that occurred or were
discovered on the Premises or the Park by Tenant, its agents, servants,
employees, invitees or contractors; (iii) all Hazardous Substance-related
compliance activities, including all contacts with administrative agencies in
any way concerning Hazardous Substances and all requests from third parties for
cleanup or compliance occurring or received by Tenant, its agents, servants,
employees, invitees or contractors; and (iv) all plans relating to the use of
the Premises or the Park, consent agreements or other contracts relating to
Hazardous Substances executed or requested during that time period by Tenant,
its agents, servants, employees, invitees or contractors. The report shall
include copies of all documents and correspondence related to such activities
and written reports of verbal contacts by Tenant, its agents, servants,
employees, invitees or

                                       22

<PAGE>

contractors. Tenant shall designate one individual or position to be responsible
to provide information to Landlord with respect to Hazardous Substances and/or
environmental matters.

         21.6  In the event Tenant applies for any permits or approvals with
respect to storage, generation, treatment, transportation and/or disposal of
hazardous waste or Hazardous Substances, Tenant shall notify Landlord and
provide copies of said applications prior to submission of same to governmental
authorities for approval.

         21.7  Tenant further agrees to promptly contain, remove and mitigate
the effect of any such pollution or contamination or hazardous waste or
Hazardous Substances on the Premises or the Park resulting from the act,
omission or negligence of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, invitees or
contractors, in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; and take
all such steps which may be required to satisfy and/or remove any lien placed
upon said Premises or the Park by the Commissioner of the Connecticut Department
of Environmental Protection pursuant to Connecticut statutes or regulations, the
United States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to Federal statutes or
regulations, the local government or any legal authority, or any agents of any
of said entities, or any other entity or person, be it a public agency or
private, pursuant to any federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulation
resulting from any such act, omission or negligence of Tenant, its agents,
servants, employees, invitees or contractors.

         21.8  Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter into and
upon the Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the
Premises and all activities thereon, including activities involving
environmental matters and/or Hazardous Substances, or for the purposes of
maintaining the Building. As to inspection or maintenance of the Premises in the
normal course of Landlord's business, Landlord will provided Tenant forty eight
(48) hours notice of such inspection or maintenance, and Tenant shall have the
right to have a representative of Tenant present at all such times. As to
inspection or maintenance which Landlord reasonably considers to be an emergency
or require immediate attention, Landlord shall not be required to give any prior
notice to Tenant, nor to wait for any Tenant representative, but will give
Tenant notice of said inspection or maintenance within a reasonable time
thereafter.

         21.9  No spill, deposit, emission, leakage or other release of
hazardous waste or Hazardous Substances in or on the Premises or the Park, soil,
groundwater and/or water by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, invitees or
contractors shall be deemed to result in wear and tear that would be normal for
the period of Tenant's occupancy.

         21.10 After Tenant has vacated the Premises in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Lease, but no later than 10 days after the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost
and expense, provide Landlord with a phase I environmental assessment of the
Premises, together with such additional reports and testing (including a phase
II environmental assessment) if necessary in Landlord's sole discretion using a
consultant selected by and acceptable

                                       23

<PAGE>


to Landlord, to determine the environmental status of the Premises as of the
date of that Environmental Update ("Environmental Update").

         21.11 Tenant shall surrender the Premises free of any contamination or
other damage caused by such occurrences during the term of this Lease by Tenant,
its agents, servants, employees, contractors or invitees.

         21.12 The Tenant hereby  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  agrees to
indemnify and hold the Landlord and Owner harmless, at all times, from and
against all liabilities, claims, liens, losses, costs, damages and expenses,
including, but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees and costs of defense
and experts incurred by the Landlord or Owner, claims paid whether as a result
of final judgment or in the settlement of contested claims, which the Landlord
or Owner may incur, sustain or be liable for, directly or indirectly, as the
result of any acts, omissions or negligence by the Tenant, its agents, servants,
employees, invitees or contractors which results in the exercise by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency, the Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection, the local government or any legal authority, or any
agents of any of said entities, or any other entity or person, be it a public
agency or private, of any legal rights it may now or hereafter be entitled to
exercise with respect to Chapter 445 or 446K of the Connecticut General Statutes
(C. G. S.(S)22a-114, et. seq. and C.G.S.(S)22a-416 et. seq. respectively and

or any amendment, supplement or modification thereof or regulations or other
authority promulgated thereunder, or any other similar Federal, State or local
law, ordinance or regulation and for any other matter arising directly or
indirectly as a result of said laws or regulations including, but not limited
to, the removal of any "Hazardous Waste" as defined in the Federal laws or
regulations or the Connecticut General Statutes or regulations, or Hazardous
Substance as defined above, whether or not ordered by the respective Government
agencies referred to above or any Federal, State or local law or regulation or
any other claim at law or in equity. In the event the Landlord or Owner incurs
any of such expenses, or any of the above mentioned authorities exercises any of

Tenant, or which corporation, limited liability company, partnership,
association or other legal entity is purchasing substantially all of Tenant's
business as conducted at the Premises (such corporation, limited liability
company, partnership, association or other legal entity being hereinafter, in
this Paragraph 22, called "Assignee") without the prior written consent of
Landlord shall not be deemed to be prohibited hereby if, and upon the express
condition that, Assignee shall have executed, acknowledged and delivered to
Landlord an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, whereby
Assignee shall assume and agree to perform, and to be personally bound by and
upon, all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth

covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in the
proposed assignment or sublease.

         22.3 Landlord covenants not to unreasonably withhold or delay its
consent to such proposed assignment or subletting by Tenant of such space to the
proposed assignee or subtenant on said covenants, agreements, terms, provisions
and conditions set forth in the notice to Landlord referred to above, provided,

such proposed assignment or subletting unless:

         (a)      in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the proposed assignee
                  or subtenant is of a character and engaged in a business such
                  as are in keeping with the standards of Landlord in those
                  respects for the MDA, building and occupancy;

         (b)      in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the purposes for which
                  the proposed assignee or subtenant intends to use the portion
                  of the Premises sublet to it are such as are in keeping with
                  the standards of Landlord in those respects for the MDA,
                  Building and its occupancy;

         (c)      such subletting will result in there being no more than three
                  occupants of the Premises, including Tenant and all
                  subtenants;

         (d)      the space so to be sublet shall be regular in shape with
                  appropriate means of ingress and egress and suitable for
                  normal renting purposes;

         (e)      the proposed assignee or subtenant under such proposed
                  subletting shall not be a government or any subdivision or
                  agency thereof nor then be a tenant or subtenant of Landlord
                  or an occupant of any part of the Building in excess of ten
                  thousand (10,000) square feet outside the Premises;

         (f)      Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable expenses
                  that may be incurred by Landlord in connection with the said
                  assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, the
                  costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of a
                  proposed assignee or subtenant and reasonable legal expenses
                  incurred in connection with the granting of any requested
                  consent to an assignment or subletting;

         (g)      the proposed subletting shall be at a rate not less than the
                  rental rates at which Landlord is offering comparable space
                  in the Building for a comparable term; and

         (h)      Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as and for Additional Rental
                  with each monthly installment of Basic Rental and Additional
                  Rental due and payable by Tenant to

                                       26

<PAGE>

          Landlord, in case of a subletting, during the term of the sublease
          between Tenant and the subtenant, an amount equal to fifty (50%)
          percent of the excess of the rent received by Tenant from the
          subtenant with respect to the space covered by the sublease over the
          rent payable by Tenant to Landlord for said space for the same period,
          and in the case of an assignment, during the remainder of the term of
          this Lease, an amount equal to fifty (50%) percent of the excess of
          the total rent payable by the assignee under the terms of this Lease
          over the total amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord (specifically
          excluded from the requirements of this Paragraph 22.3(h) are Business
          Assignments).

    22.4 Each subletting to this Paragraph 22 shall be subject to all the
covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease
and the MDA. Tenant covenants and agrees that, notwithstanding such assignment
or any such subletting to any tenant and/or acceptance of Basic Rental and
Additional Rental by Landlord from any subtenant, Tenant shall and will remain
fully liable for the payment of the Basic Rental and Additional Rental due and
to become due hereunder and for the performance of all the covenants,
agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease on the part
of the Tenant to be performed. Tenant further covenants and agrees that,
notwithstanding any such assignment or subletting, no other and further
assignment, underletting or subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof
shall or will be made except upon compliance with and subject to the provisions
of this Paragraph 22. Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord a copy of such
sublease.

    22.5 If this Lease be assigned or if the Premises or any part thereof be
subject or occupied by any entity other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default
by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the
net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment,
subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of Tenant's
covenants contained in this Paragraph 22, or the acceptance of the assignee,
subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further
performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained.

    23:  SUBORDINATION; TENANT'S NOTICE OF INTENT TO CANCEL
    -------------------------------------------------------

    23.1 This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times, to the lien
of the mortgages now on the Premises, and to all advances made or hereafter to
be made upon the Premises, and subject and subordinate to any Lease or other
arrangement or right to possession under which Landlord is in control of the
Premises and to the rights of the owner or owners of the Premises and of the
land or buildings of which the Premises are a part, provided, however, that in
the absence of any failure by the Tenant to perform the terms of this Lease
beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, the Tenant's possession of the
Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease shall not be
disturbed during the term of this Lease. If the mortgagee or proposed mortgagee
requests Tenant to execute an estoppel certificate or other similar document,
Tenant shall execute said

                                       27

<PAGE>

estoppel certificate and return same to Landlord within ten (10) days of
Tenant's receipt of same. Failure of Tenant to execute and return said estoppel
certificate or similar document within said ten (10) day period shall be a
default under this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain for Tenant a non-disturbance agreement from any current mortgagee.

         23.2 Tenant shall, upon the request of Landlord in writing and at no
charge or expense to Landlord, subordinate this lease and the lien hereof to the
lien of any present or future mortgage or mortgages upon the Premises or any
property of which the Premises are a part irrespective of the time of execution
or the time of recording of any such mortgage or mortgages, provided that the
holder of any such mortgage shall enter into a written agreement with Tenant to
the effect that in the event of foreclosure or other action taken under the
mortgage by the holder thereof this Lease and the rights of the Tenant hereunder
shall not be disturbed but shall continue in full force and effect so long as
Tenant shall not be in default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period. The
word "mortgage" as used herein includes mortgages, deeds of trust or other
similar instruments, and modifications, extensions, renewals and replacements
thereof, and any and all advances thereunder.

         23.3 Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Tenant shall not
elect to exercise any right or option to cancel and terminate this Lease for any
default by the Landlord without having first given any assignee of the rents
hereunder or mortgagee of the Premises or Park prior written notice of its
election to so cancel and terminate, and the assignee and/or mortgagee, their
successors and assigns, shall have thirty (30) days after the receipt of such
notice in which to remedy or have remedied any default of the Landlord and
thereby void Tenant's election to cancel and terminate this Lease. Landlord
hereby notifies Tenant that at the time of the execution of this Lease the
assignee/mortgagee is the Travelers Insurance Company.

         24:  SALE BY LANDLORD
         ---------------------

         24.1  If Landlord, or any subsequent owner of the Park, Premises or
Building sells the same and its successor owner assumes all liability of
Landlord hereunder, Landlord's liability for the performance of its agreements
in this Lease will end on the date of the sale of the Park, Premises or Building
and Tenant will look solely to the purchaser for the performance of those
agreements. For the purposes of this Paragraph, any holder of a mortgage or deed
of trust that affects the Park, Premises or Building at any time, and any
landlord in any lease to which this Lease is subordinate, at any time, will be a
subsequent owner of the Park, Premises or Building when it succeeds to the
interest of the Landlord or any subsequent owner of the Park, Premises or
Building. Tenant will attorn to any subsequent owners of the Park, Premises or
Building. Any and all security deposits paid by Tenant hereunder shall be held
by such subsequent owner and Tenant shall look only to such subsequent owner for
a return thereof upon the expiration of this Lease.

         25:  FIRE INSURANCE
         -------------------

                                       28

<PAGE>

         25.1 Landlord shall, from and after the date of the execution of this
Lease, keep the Premises, the building of which the Premises are a part, the
Park and the parking facilities and other common areas and facilities, as the
case may be, insured against "all risk" loss or damage by fire and any
casualties included in the extended coverage or supplementary contract
endorsements, exclusive of foundation, all concrete improvements and utilities.
Landlord will not, and shall not have any obligation to, provide coverage for
the personal property, trade fixtures, Tenant's improvements or equipment of
Tenant, as Tenant is required to provide its own insurance coverage for same as
set forth in Paragraph 25.3 below.

         25.2 Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby releases the other from any and
all liability or responsibility (to the other or anyone claiming through or
under them by way of subrogation or otherwise) for loss or damage to property
caused by fire or any of the extended coverage or supplementary contract
casualties, even if such fire or other casualty shall have been caused by the
fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone from whom such party may be
responsible, provided, however, that this release shall be applicable and in
force and effect only with respect to loss or damages occurring during such time
as the releasor's policies shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect
that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or
prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder. Each of the Landlord
and Tenant agrees that its policies will include such a clause or endorsement so
long as the same shall be obtainable without extra cost, or if extra cost shall
be chargeable therefor, each party shall advise the other thereof and of the
amount of the extra cost, and the other party, at its election, may pay the
same, but shall not be obligated to do so.

         25.3 The Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense carry fire and
casualty insurance covering all property of the Tenant and all interior
installations, partitions, equipment, systems and improvements installed or made
by it in the Premises, any loss payable under such insurance being payable
directly to the Tenant. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the
certificate for said insurance, which policy shall provide that it will not be
canceled without a Ten (10) day written notice to Landlord by the insurer.

         26:  DAMAGE
         -----------

         26.1 In case of partial or total destruction of the Premises, the
Landlord and Tenant will each give immediate notice thereof to the other. If the
Premises shall have been damaged or destroyed to an extent less than 25% of the
insurable value thereof, the Landlord will restore the Premises to their former
condition within a reasonable time, not to exceed six (6) months after the
receipt of any available insurance proceeds, at its expense. If the Premises
shall have been damaged or destroyed to an extent of 25% or more of the
insurable value thereof, the Landlord may elect to (a) restore the Premises to
their former condition with a reasonable time, not to exceed nine (9) months
after the receipt of any available insurance proceeds, at its expense, or (b)
terminate this Lease by giving notice of termination to the Tenant. If Landlord
elects to restore the Premises as set forth above and

                                       29

<PAGE>

the Premises is not restored during the applicable time period, subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 33.1 below, then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord. A just proportion of the
Basic Rent, according to the nature and extent of the damage or destruction,
will be abated from the time of the same until the Premises shall have been
restored (as hereinabove provided) or this Lease terminated, excepting, however,
that if the nature of the damages is such as to render the Premises wholly
unsuitable for Tenant's use, then unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord,
as hereinbefore provided, all rent shall abate and Tenant's obligations under
this Lease shall be suspended until such time as the Premises shall have been
fully restored by the Landlord, including Landlord Work and Tenant Work set
forth in Exhibit W-1 hereof. There shall be no obligation upon the part of the
Landlord to repair or rebuild during the last year of the term of this Lease
provided that, if Landlord elects not to repair or rebuild, then Tenant shall
have the right to terminate this Lease immediately. Landlord's obligation to
repair or rebuild pursuant to this paragraph shall be limited to the basic
building, systems and equipment and replacement of any interior work which may
have been installed at Landlord's cost or by Landlord's contractor. Landlord's
obligation to repair or rebuild shall also be limited to the extent of insurance

         proceeds made available by any mortgagee having control over
disposition of such proceeds and shall be further limited to not include the
restoration, repair or rebuilding of any portion of the Premises for which
Tenant is required to maintain insurance under Paragraph 25.3 of this Lease.
Tenant shall be responsible to promptly restore, repair or replace any portion
of the Premises for which Tenant is required to maintain insurance under
Paragraph 25.3 of this Lease provided Landlord has first repaired or restored
the Premises as herein provided.

         27:  EMINENT DOMAIN
         -------------------

         27.1 If any person, authority or corporation, public, private or
otherwise, shall at any time during the term of this Lease or any renewal
thereof lawfully condemn or take under power of eminent domain or condemnation
the whole or any part of the Premises, then at the option of the Landlord this
Lease shall immediately cease and terminate upon possession being taken
thereunder of the Premises or any part thereof, and the Basic Rental and
Additional Rental provided for hereunder shall be apportioned and adjusted as of
the time of such termination. The Landlord shall notify the Tenant of any such
proceedings pertaining to or in any way involving the Premises, and the Tenant
shall have the right, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to interpose and
prosecute in any such proceeding a claim for the value of its leasehold
interests in the Premises or any part thereof and for the value of any fixtures
or improvements installed in or made to the Premises by the Tenant and for its
moving expenses, and all sums recovered or awarded on the basis of such claims
by the Tenant shall belong to and be payable to the Tenant. If, in the event of
a partial taking, the portion taken leaves the remaining portion of the Premises
wholly unsuitable for Tenant's use, then Tenant, at its election, may terminate
this Lease by giving notice to Landlord of its election and in such event the
Basic Rental and Additional Rental shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the
date of termination. If the term of this Lease shall not be terminated as
aforesaid, then the term of this Lease shall

                                       30

<PAGE>

continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall within a reasonable time
after possession is physically taken (subject to delays due to shortage of
labor, materials or equipment, labor difficulties, breakdown of equipment,
government restrictions, fires, other casualties or other causes beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord) repair or rebuild what may remain of the
Premises for the occupancy of Tenant; and a just proportion of the Basic Rental
and Additional Rental shall be abated, according to the nature and extent of the
part of the Premises acquired or condemned, in proportion to the area of the
Premises rendered unusable for Tenant to conduct its ordinary business as
previously conducted at the Premises for the balance of the term of the Lease.

         27.2 Landlord reserves to itself, and Tenant assigns to Landlord, all
rights to damages accruing on account of any such taking or condemnation except
as hereinafter stated or by reason of any act of any public or quasi public
authority for which damages are payable. Tenant agrees to execute such
instruments of assignment as may be required by Landlord, to join with Landlord
in any petition for the recovery of damages, if requested by Landlord, and to
turn over to Landlord any such damages as may recovered in any such proceeding.
If Tenant shall fail to execute such instruments as may be required by Landlord,
or to undertake such other steps as may be as may requested as herein stated,
Tenant shall be in default under this Lease. It is agreed and understood,
however, that Landlord does not reserve to itself, and Tenant does not assign to
Landlord, any damages payable for trade fixtures installed by Tenant at its own
cost and expense and which are not a part of the realty, and any damages payable
to Tenant for moving expenses.

         28: QUIET ENJOYMENT
         -------------------

         28.1 Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying
all Basic Rental, Additional Rental and all other charges which may become due
under this Lease and observing and performing all of the terms, covenants and
conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed subject to any
applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant may peaceably and quietly have, hold,
occupy and enjoy the Premises and all rights under this Lease and all said
common facilities of the Park without hindrance or disturbance by Landlord.

         29: DEFAULT BY TENANT
         ---------------------

         29.1 Upon Tenant's failure to pay any installment of Basic Rental,
Additional Rental or any other payment under this Lease within ten (10) days of
said installment being due, or if Tenant shall fail to observe and perform any
of the other conditions, agreements or provisions of this Lease, it shall be
lawful thereupon, without notice as to monetary default and after ten (10) days
written notice as to any other default (except where said other default cannot
be cured within said ten (10) day period, if Tenant commences to cure said
default within ten (10) days and diligently pursues said cure then said ten (10)
day period shall be extended to thirty (30) days) for Landlord to: (1) re-enter
and repossess the Premises, to remove all persons therefrom and to take
exclusive possession of and remove all property therefrom; and/or (2) perform on
behalf of and at the expense of Tenant, any

                                       31

<PAGE>

obligation of Tenant under this Lease which Tenant has failed to perform,
provided, however, that Landlord may exercise the remedy described in this
clause without a default by, or notice to Tenant if Landlord, in its good faith
judgment, believes it would suffer material or substantial damage by failure to
take rapid action or if the unperformed obligation of Tenant constituted an
emergency. Upon any occurrence of default by Tenant hereunder after applicable
notice and cure periods, any and all rights of Tenant as a tenant shall, at the
option of Landlord, immediately cease and terminate. Nothing provided herein
shall be deemed to obligate or require Landlord to take any action or do any
thing for or on behalf of Tenant, or otherwise. The failure on the part of the
Landlord to re-enter or repossess the Premises, or to exercise any of its rights
hereunder upon any default shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the terms and
conditions of this Lease, and shall not preclude said Landlord from the exercise
of any of such rights upon any subsequent occurring default or defaults.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, the Landlord shall forthwith
upon any such termination be entitled to recover the total amount of rent
reserved in this Lease for the residue of the term hereof at the time of the
termination.

         29.2 Any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Landlord (including,
but not limited to, attorney's fees) in enforcing any of its rights or remedies
under this Lease shall be deemed to be Additional Rental and shall be paid to
Landlord by Tenant upon demand.

         30: WAIVERS
         -----------

         30.1 The failure of either party to insist, in any one or more
instances, upon a strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, or
to exercise any option herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or a
relinquishment for the future of such covenant or option, but the same shall
continue and remain in full force and effect. The receipt by Landlord of Basic
Rent and/or Additional Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof
shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach and no waiver by the Landlord of any
provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing
and signed by the Landlord. Even though the Landlord shall have consented to an
assignment of this Lease, no further assignment shall be made without the
express consent in writing by the Landlord.

         31: ABANDONMENT
         ---------------

         31.1 If Tenant shall abandon or vacate said Premises before the end of
the term or otherwise default under any other provision of this Lease agreement
beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord may take possession of
said Premises and relet the same, without such action being deemed an acceptance
of a surrender of this Lease, or in any way terminating the Tenant's liability
hereunder, and the Tenant shall remain liable for payment of the Basic Rent and
Additional Rent herein reserved, less the net amount realized by the Landlord
from reletting, after deduction of any expenses incident to such repossession
and reletting.

                                       32

<PAGE>

         32: HOLDOVER
         ------------

         32.1 If the Tenant shall occupy the Premises with the consent of the
Landlord, after the expiration of this Lease, and/or Landlord and Tenant are
negotiating in good faith for the extension or renewal of this Lease, and rent
is accepted from said Tenant, such occupancy and payment shall be construed as
an extension of this Lease for the term of one month only from the date of such
expiration, and occupation thereafter shall operate to extend the term of this
Lease for but one month at a time unless other terms of such extension are
endorsed hereon in writing and signed by the parties hereto. In such event if
either Landlord or Tenant desires to terminate said occupancy at the end of any
month after the termination of this Lease, the party so desiring to terminate
the same shall give the other party at least thirty (30) days written notice to
that effect. Failure on the part of the Tenant to give such notice shall
obligate it to pay rent for an additional calendar month, following the month in
which the Tenant has vacated the demised premises. If such occupancy continues
without the consent of the Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated
damages, one and one-half times the amount of Basic Rent and Additional Rent at
the highest rate specified in this Lease for the time Tenant retains possession
of the Premises or any part thereof after termination of the term by lapse of
time or otherwise.

         33: GRACE PERIOD
         ----------------

         33.1 In any case where either party hereto is required to do any act,
the time for 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,
government regulations or any other causes beyond such party's reasonable
control, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or a
"reasonable time".

         34: NOTICES
         -----------

         34.1 Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be deemed duly
given if mailed in any Post Office by registered or certified mail with return
receipt requested, or sent by commercial overnight delivery, with signatures,
addressed to the Landlord at 2 Parklawn Drive, Bethel, Connecticut 06801 and
addressed to the Tenant at 57 Commerce Drive, Brookfield, CT 06804, Attention:
President, prior to occupancy or at the Premises subsequent to occupancy, or at
such other address as either party may give to the other in writing.

         35: REAL ESTATE BROKERS
         -----------------------

         35.1 Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Vidal/Wettenstein, L.L.C.
(Bruce Wettenstein), acting as a licensed real estate broker, was instrumental
in the consummation of this Lease. Landlord agrees to pay any commission that
may be due said real estate broker. Landlord and Tenant each represents and
warrants to the other that it has not had any dealing with any other real estate
broker

                                       33

<PAGE>

or finder with respect to the subject matter of this Lease, and agrees to hold
the other harmless from and against any and all damages, costs and expenses,
including, but not limited to, court costs, costs of defense, costs of
settlement and reasonable attorneys fees, resulting from any claim(s) for a
brokerage commission or finder's fee that may be asserted against Landlord or
Tenant by any other broker or finder with whom Landlord or Tenant has dealt.

         36: OPTION TO RENEW
         -------------------

         36.1 Provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any
applicable notice and cure period, Landlord hereby grants Tenant an option to
renew this Lease under such terms and conditions as Landlord is offering at that
time and at the then current rental rates Landlord is offering for comparable
space in the Park for an additional period of Five (5) years (hereinafter
referred to as the "Option Term"), commencing on the Termination Date of the
Initial Term as set forth above. Said Option shall only be exercisable during
the Initial Term of this Lease, must be exercised as set forth below and shall
expire upon the termination of the Initial Term of this Lease, whether by lapse
of time or otherwise. Said option may only be exercised by a notice in writing
addressed to the Landlord stating that Tenant may wish to exercise this option,
which notice must be actually received by Landlord at or prior to the date which
is Three (3) months prior to the Termination Date of the Initial Term. At least
Six (6) months prior to the Termination Date of the Initial Term of this Lease,
                                                            -
Landlord shall forward to Tenant a copy of the then current lease form being
used by Landlord for the Park containing the terms and conditions Landlord is
        -
offering for space in the Park and shall at the same time notify Tenant of the
current rental rates Landlord is offering for comparable space in the Park so
that Tenant may be informed of said terms and conditions and rental rates prior
                                                         ----------------
to deciding whether to exercise this Option to Renew.

         37: EFFECT
         ----------

         37.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, terms and provisions of this
Lease shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective heirs, representatives, executors, administrators, successors
and permitted assigns. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties and may not be changed except by a writing signed by the party or
parties against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension,
estoppel or discharge is sought. Whenever used, the singular number shall
include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall be
applicable to all genders as the circumstances require. This Lease shall be
construed under the laws of the State of Connecticut. The Landlord and Tenant
hereby agree that any claims, disputes or litigation arising out of the terms,
conditions and covenants of this Lease shall be adjudicated in the State of
Connecticut, and the parties further hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the
State of Connecticut over any such claims, disputes or litigation. It is agreed
that if any provision of this Lease shall be determined to be void by any Court
of competent

                                       34

<PAGE>

jurisdiction, then such determination shall not affect any other provision
of this Lease, all of which other provisions of this Lease shall remain in full
force and effect; and it is the intention of the parties hereto that if any
provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would
render the provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning which
renders it valid. At the request of either party, Landlord and Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other a recordable Notice of Lease
pursuant to Connecticut statutes too give notice of Tenant's lease. At the
termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a quitclaim or other appropriate
document in recordable form to evidence that Tenant's Lease has ended.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this lease under
seal this 8 day of February, 2001.
