                         PREMISES AND APPURTENANT RIGHTS

     2.1 Lease of Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby
leases from Landlord the Premises for the Term and upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.

     2.2 Appurtenant Rights and Reservations.

          (a) Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, the
     non-exclusive right to use, and permit its invitees to use in common with
     Landlord and others, public or common lobbies, restrooms, hallways,
     stairways, elevators and walkways within the Building, as well as the
     access roads, driveways, parking areas, loading areas, pedestrian
     sidewalks, landscaped areas, trash enclosures, recreation areas and other
     areas or facilities, if any, which are located in or on the Property and
     designated by Landlord from time to time for the non-exclusive use of
     tenants and other occupants of the Building (the "Common Facilities"); but
     such rights shall always be subject to reasonable rules and regulations
     from time to time established by Landlord pursuant to Section 15.7 (the
     "Rules and Regulations") and to the right of Landlord to designate and
     change from time to time areas and facilities so to be used, provided
     Tenant always has at least one reasonable means of access to the Premises.

          (b) Excepted and excluded from the Premises and the Common Facilities
     are the ceiling, floor, perimeter walls and exterior windows (except the
     inner surface of each thereof), and any space in the Premises used for
     shafts, stacks, pipes, conduits, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other
     utilities, sinks or other Building facilities, but the entry doors (and
     related glass and finish work) to the Premises are a part thereof. Landlord
     shall have the right to place in the Premises (but in such manner and
     location as to reduce to a minimum interference with Tenant's use of the
     Premises and provided such placement shall not reduce the usable area of
     the Premises) utility lines, equipment, stacks, pipes, conduits, ducts and
     the like. In the event that Tenant shall install any hung ceilings or walls
     in the Premises, Tenant shall install and maintain, as Landlord may
     reasonably require, proper access panels therein to afford access to any
     facilities above the ceiling or within or behind the walls. Tenant shall be
     entitled to install any such ceilings or walls only in compliance with the
     other terms and conditions of this Lease.

     2.3 Tenant's Parking Areas. Tenant shall have the right to use, subject to
the Rules and Regulations and on a non-exclusive, unreserved basis, sixty (60)
parking spaces in the parking area shown on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit
F (the "Parking Area"). Landlord shall have the right to install a key-card or
other system of identification limiting access to the parking areas on the
Property, and Tenant shall be issued key-cards for Tenant's parking spaces at
Landlord's cost. Tenant shall be responsible to return to Landlord all key-cards
for Tenant's parking spaces at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term. In the event Tenant exercises


                                        7
<PAGE>

the right to lease the Space under Section 2.5 below, Tenant shall be provided
with an additional twelve (12) parking spaces in the Parking Area.

     2.4 Option to Extend.

          (a) Provided that, at the time of each such exercise, (i) this Lease
     is in full force and effect, and (ii) no Event of Default shall have
     occurred and be continuing (either at the time of exercise or at the
     commencement of an Extended Term), Tenant shall have the right and option
     to extend the Term of this Lease for two (2) extended terms (collectively,
     the "Extended Terms") of five (5) years each by giving written notice to
     Landlord not later that twelve (12) months (nor earlier than eighteen (18)
     months) prior to the expiration date of the Term then in effect. The
     effective giving of such notice of extension by Tenant shall automatically
     extend the Term of this Lease for the applicable Extended Term, and no
     instrument of renewal or extension need be executed. In the event that
     Tenant fails timely to give such notice to Landlord, this Lease shall
     automatically terminate at the end of the Term then in effect, and Tenant
     shall have no further option to extend the Term of this Lease. Each
     Extended Term shall commence on the date immediately succeeding the
     expiration date of the original Term of the preceding Extended Term, as the
     case may be, and shall end on the day immediately preceding the fifth
     anniversary of the first day of such Extended Term. The Extended Term shall
     be on all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except: (i) during the
     second Extended Term, Tenant shall have no further option to extend the
     Term, and (ii) the Basic rent for the Extended Terms shall be the Fair
     Market Rental Value of the Premises as of the commencement of the Extended
     Term in question, taking into account all relevant factors, determined
     pursuant to paragraph (b), but in no event shall the Basic Rent for the
     Extended Term be less than the Basic Rent at the expiration of the original
     or Extended Term immediately preceding the commencement of the Extended
     Term in question.

          (b) Within thirty (30) days after receiving Tenant's notice extending
     the Term of this Lease pursuant to paragraph (a) above, Landlord shall
     provide Tenant with Landlord's good faith estimate of the Fair Market
     Rental Value of the Premises for the upcoming Extended Term based upon
     rents being paid by tenants entering into leases for comparable space
     similar in size, build-out, amenities and term in the Waltham area, not
     including the value of any improvements made to the Premises by Tenant at
     Tenant's sole cost and expense. If Tenant is unwilling to accept Landlord's
     estimate of the Fair Market Rental Value as set forth in Landlord's notice
     referred to above, and the parties are unable to reach agreement thereon
     within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice by Landlord, then
     Tenant may rescind its exercise of the option to extend by written notice
     delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days after the expiration of such
     thirty (30)-day period. If Tenant does not so exercise its right to
     rescind, then either party may submit the determination of the Fair Market
     Rental Value of the Premises to arbitration by giving notice to the other
     party naming the initiation party's arbitrator within ten (10) days after
     the expiration of such ten (10)-day period. Within fifteen (15) days after
     receiving a notice of initiation of arbitration, the responding party shall
     appoint its own arbitrator by notifying the initiating party of the
     responding party's arbitrator. If the second arbitrator shall


                                        8
<PAGE>

     not have been so appointed within such fifteen (15) day period, the Fair
     Market Rental Value of the Premises shall be determined by the initiating
     party's arbitrator. If the second arbitrator shall have been so appointed,
     the two arbitrators thus appointed shall, within fifteen (15) days after
     the responding party's notice of appointment of the second arbitrator,
     appoint a third arbitrator. If the two initial arbitrators are unable
     timely to agree on the third arbitrator, then either may, on behalf of
     both, request such appointment by the Boston office of JAMS/ENDISPUTE, or
     its successor, or, on its failure, refusal or inability to act, by a court
     of competent jurisdiction. Within fifteen (15) days after the appointment
     of the third arbitrator, the three arbitrators shall determine the Fair
     Market Rental Value of the Premises and give notice thereof to the parties
     hereto, and the arbitrators' determination shall be binding upon the
     parties. All arbitrators shall be appraisers or other qualified real estate
     professionals who are independent from the parties who have had at least
     ten (10) years commercial real estate experience in the greater Boston
     area. Each party shall pay the fees of its own arbitrator, and the fees of
     the third arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties.

     2.5 Right of First Offer.

          (a) Tenant shall have a "Right of First Offer" to lease the five
     thousand (5,000) square feet of space that is contiguous to the Premises as
     shown on Exhibit A (the "Space") such right to apply during the period from
     the date of this Lease through the first anniversary of the Rent
     Commencement Date (the "Right of First Offer Period").

          (b) Landlord will notify Tenant during Right of First Offer Period of
     its plans to lease any portion of the Space to any unrelated third party
     ("Landlord's Notice"). Landlord's Notice shall specify the square footage
     of the Space available and its location, and the date of availability. The
     Space shall be leased to Tenant on the same terms and conditions as
     contained in this Lease. Tenant will notify Landlord within seven (7)
     Business Days of Landlord's notice if Tenant wishes to lease such Space
     from Landlord on such terms and conditions. If Tenant notifies Landlord
     that it wishes to lease the Space, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an
     amendment to this Lease (incorporating therein the terms contained in
     Landlord's notice and the other terms and conditions contained in this
     Lease) within seven (7) Business Days. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord
     within said seven (7) Business Day period that Tenant intends to lease such
     Space, or if Landlord and Tenant fail, using commercially reasonable
     efforts, to execute a lease agreement for such Space within seven (7)
     Business Days of Tenant's notice of intent to Landlord, Landlord shall be
     entitled to lease such space to any third party on such terms and
     conditions and for such rent as Landlord determines in its sole discretion.
     If Tenant fails to notify Landlord that Tenant intends to lease such Space
     and Landlord does not execute a lease for the Space on the terms contained
     in Landlord Notice, Tenant's Right of First Offer shall continue to apply
     to any further proposals to lease the Space during the Right of First Offer
     Period only.

          (c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 2.5 or any
     other provision of this Lease, any Right of First Offer and any exercise by
     Tenant of any Right of First


                                        9
<PAGE>

     Offer shall be void and of no effect unless on the date Tenant notifies
     Landlord that it is exercising the Right of First Offer and on the
     commencement date of the lease agreement for such Space (i) this Lease is
     in full force and effect and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred under
     this Lease which remains continuing and uncured, and (iii) the Tenant named
     herein is occupying the entire Premises for the conduct of its business.

                                   BASIC RENT

     3.1 Payment.

          (a) Tenant agrees to pay the Basic Rent and Additional Rent to
     Landlord, or as directed by Landlord, commencing on the Rent Commencement
     Date, without offset, abatement (except as provided in Section 11.4),
     deduction or demand. Basic Rent shall be payable in equal monthly
     installments, in advance, on the first day of each and every calendar month
     during the Term of this Lease, to Landlord at Landlord's Address or at such
     other place as Landlord shall from time to time designate by notice, in
     lawful money of the United States. In the event that any installment of
     Basic Rent or any regularly scheduled payment of Additional Rent is not
     paid within five (5) days of when due, Tenant shall pay, in addition to any
     charges under Section 14.4, at Landlord's request an administrative fee
     equal to 5% of the overdue payment. Landlord and Tenant agree that all
     amounts due from Tenant under or in respect of this Lease, whether labeled
     Basic Rent, Escalation Charges, Additional Rent or otherwise, shall be
     considered as rental reserved under this Lease for all purposes, including
     without limitation regulations promulgated pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code,
     and including further without limitation Section 502(b) thereof.

          (b) Basic Rent for any partial month shall be pro-rated on a daily
     basis, and if the first day on which Tenant must pay Basic Rent shall be
     other than the first day of a calendar month, the first payment which
     Tenant shall make to Landlord shall be equal to a proportionate part of the
     monthly installment of Basic Rent for the partial month from the first day
     on which Tenant must pay Basic Rent to the last day of the month in which
     such day occurs.

                                    ARTICLE 4
                           COMMENCEMENT AND CONDITION

     4.1 Base Building Work; Commencement Date.

          (a) Landlord has prepared plans and specifications (the "Base Building
     Plans") for the work to be performed by Landlord in the Premises (the
     "Premises Base Building Work") and to the Common Facilities (the "Common
     Facilities Base Building Work") in the Building prior to Tenant's occupancy
     (collectively, the "Base Building Work") a copy of which plans are attached
     hereto as Exhibit G. Landlord agrees to commence the Base Building Work


                                       10
<PAGE>

     promptly after execution of this Lease. The Base Building Work shall be
     deemed substantially completed on the first day as of which Landlord's
     architect delivers a certificate of substantial completion to both Landlord
     and Tenant, indicating that the Base Building Work has been completed in
     accordance with the Base Building Plans, except for minor items of work
     (and, if applicable, adjustment of equipment and fixtures) which can be
     completed after Tenant commences Tenant's Work with minimum interference
     with Tenant's ability to proceed with Tenant's Work (i.e., so-called "Base
     Building Punch List" items) and Tenant has been given notice thereof. Such
     date is hereinafter called the "Premises Base Building Substantial
     Completion Date," and the "Common Facilities Base Building Substantial
     Completion Date," respectively (collectively, the "Base Building
     Substantial Completion Date"). Landlord agrees to use commercially
     reasonable efforts to complete the Premises Base Building Work by December
     1, 2001 and the Common Facilities Base Building Work by March 1, 2002. Such
     work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance
     with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances. Tenant and/or its
     designated representative shall have the right to enter the Premises and
     inspect the performance of such work on a regular basis. Landlord shall
     keep Tenant apprised of the status of construction of the Base Building
     Work and shall endeavor to give Tenant at least twenty (20) days' advance
     notice of the date on which Landlord expects to substantially complete the
     Premises Base Building Work and the Common Facilities Base Building Work.
     Following Tenant's receipt of such notices of the applicable Base Building
     Substantial Completion Date, Tenant shall have the right to inspect the
     Premises. If such inspection reveals that the Base Building Work has not
     been completed in accordance herewith, Landlord and Tenant shall identify
     those items that remain to be completed or repaired on a punch list.
     Landlord shall complete all Base Building Punch List items within thirty
     (30) days, and Tenant shall afford Landlord access to the Premises for such
     purposes. If, in Landlord's commercially reasonable judgment, any items
     contained on the Base Building Punch List would delay or materially
     interfere with Tenant's ability to perform Tenant's Work, the Base Building
     Substantial Completion Date shall be delayed until such item(s) is/are
     completed.

          (b) The "Commencement Date" shall be the later to occur of (i)
     December 1, 2001, or (ii) the Premises Base Building Substantial Completion
     Date. Promptly upon the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Landlord and
     Tenant shall execute and deliver a letter designating the Commencement Date
     substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, but the failure by
     either party to execute and deliver such a letter shall have no effect on
     the Commencement Date, as hereinabove determined.

     4.2 Tenant's Work.

          (a) Tenant is currently preparing plans and specifications for the
     layout of the Premises (such plans and specifications are collectively
     referred to as the "Layout Plan") and architectural and mechanical,
     electrical and plumbing engineering plans and specifications for the
     Premises. Such plans and specifications, when fully complete and approved
     by Landlord, are hereinafter called "Tenant's Plans." Landlord shall not
     unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the Tenant's Plans or any
     components thereof. Landlord shall approve or disapprove


                                       11
<PAGE>

     Tenant's Plans within five (5) Business Days after submission of such Plans
     by Tenant to Landlord. Any disapproval shall be accompanied by a reasonably
     specific statement of reasons therefore. Landlord shall cooperate with
     Tenant in Tenant's efforts to address Landlord's basis for such
     disapproval. In the event of such disapproval, Tenant shall promptly cause
     the Tenant's Plans to be revised in a manner sufficient to remedy the
     Landlord's reasonable objections and/or respond to the Landlord's concerns
     and shall deliver such revised plans to Landlord, and Landlord shall either
     approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
     delayed) or disapprove Tenant's revised plans (such disapproval to be on a
     reasonable basis) within five (5) Business Days following the date of
     submission. The work specified in Tenant's Plans shall be called "Tenant's
     Work." Tenant estimates that it will expend the amount set forth in Section
     1.1 hereof ("Tenant's Estimated Contribution") in the completion of
     Tenant's Work. Tenant's Plans shall be stamped by a
     Massachusetts-registered architect and engineer, such architect and
     engineer being subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. Tenant covenants
     that the improvements shown on Tenant's Plans, if constructed in accordance
     with such Plans, shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and
     regulations (including, without limitation, the applicable requirements of
     the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the regulations
     promulgated thereunder) and the requirements of the Rules and Regulations,
     and shall be in a form satisfactory to appropriate governmental authorities
     responsible for issuing permits, approvals and licenses required for
     construction. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in obtaining, at
     Tenants' sole cost and expense, all permits and approvals necessary for
     Tenant to perform Tenant's Work. In the event a governmental authority will
     not issue a permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises or such
     authority orders Tenant to stop the performance of Tenant's Work, in whole
     or in part, due to a deficiency or defect in the Base Building Work or any
     other defect or deficiency in the Building, the Rent Commencement Date
     shall be delayed one (1) day for each day of delay until such defect or
     deficiency is remedied by Landlord, at its cost, and approved by the
     governmental authority.

          (b) From and after the earlier to occur of (i) the Premises Base
     Building Substantial Completion Date, or (ii) November 15, 2001, Tenant
     shall have access to the Premises and to the Building for purposes of
     performing Tenant's Work. In no event, shall a Tenant Delay (as defined in
     Section 4.4) delay the Rent Commencement Date. Tenant's Work shall be
     completed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Rules and
     Regulations. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the costs incurred by
     Tenant with respect to the performance of Tenant's Work (the "Cost of
     Tenant's Work") up to the amount of Landlord's Contribution. Tenant shall
     be entirely responsible for any excess. Landlord's Contribution shall be
     payable by Landlord to Tenant upon written requisition to Landlord in
     monthly installments, as provided below, according to reasonable
     construction disbursement procedures and as Tenant's Work progresses. In
     any case, prior to payment of any such installment Tenant shall deliver to
     Landlord a written request, which request shall be given no more frequently
     than once every thirty (30) days, for such disbursement, which shall be
     accompanied by: (i) invoices for Tenant's Work covered by any previous
     requisition; (ii) copies of partial lien waivers or final lien waivers (in
     the case of a final installment); and (iii) a certificate signed by the
     Tenant's architect certifying that Tenant's Work represented by the
     aforementioned invoices has been


                                       12
<PAGE>

     completed substantially in accordance with Tenant's Plans. Landlord shall
     pay each required installment within thirty (30) days of receiving the
     materials enumerated in the previous sentence.

     4.3 Condition; Landlord's Warranty. Landlord represents and warrants
("Landlord's Warranty") that the Base Building Work shall be free from material
defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one (1) year (the "Warranty
Period") from the Commencement Date. Landlord's Warranty shall not apply to any
defects in workmanship or materials that arise due to the negligence or willful
misconduct of Tenant, it's agents, employees, contractors, invitees or
sublessees. During the Warranty Period, Landlord agrees to promptly replace
and/or repair, at its expense, items of the Base Building Work which do not
conform to the Base Building Plans, or which are defective. Except for the Base
Building Work, any warranties that Landlord may receive (which landlord shall
make available to Tenant), or which Landlord may provide pursuant hereto, the
Premises are being leased in their present condition, AS IS, WITHOUT
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that it has
inspected the Premises and Common Facilities and, except for the Base Building
Work, has found the same satisfactory.

     4.4 Rent Credit.

          (a) Subject to Tenant Delay (as defined below) and Force Majeure, if
     Landlord shall have failed to substantially complete the Premises Base
     Building Work by December 15, 2001 (the "Premises Rent Credit Commencement
     Date") and if such failure materially interferes with or prohibits Tenant
     from performing Tenant's Work, or from obtaining any permits or approvals
     necessary for performing or completing Tenant's Work, Tenant shall receive
     a credit equal to one (1) days' worth of Basic Rent for each day beyond the
     Premises Rent Credit Commencement Date that substantial completion of the
     Premises Base Building Work is delayed. Subject to Tenant Delay and Force
     Majeure, if Landlord shall have failed to substantially complete the
     Premises Base Building Work by January 1, 2002 and if such failure
     materially interferes with or prohibits Tenant from performing Tenant's
     Work, or from obtaining any permits or approvals necessary for performing
     or completing Tenant's Work, Tenant shall receive a credit equal to two (2)
     days' worth of Basic Rent for each day beyond January 1, 2002 that
     substantial completion of the Premises Base Building Work is delayed. For
     purposes of this Lease, "Tenant Delay" shall mean (i) any request by Tenant
     that Landlord delay in the commencement or completion of the Premises Base
     Building Work, or the Common Facilities Base Building Work, as applicable,
     for any reason; (ii) any delay in the Base Building Substantial Completion
     Date caused by Tenant's contractors, agents and employee's interference
     with Landlord and Landlord's contractor's, agents, and employees; or (iii)
     any other act or omission of Tenant or its officers, agents, servants or
     contractors which causes a delay in the Premises Base Building Work, or the
     Common Facilities Base Building Work, as applicable. If a delay shall occur
     in the Base Building Work as a result of Tenant Delay, then Tenant shall,
     within thirty (30) days after determination of the Rent Commencement Date,
     and only to the extent that such amount exceeds the rent credit, if any,
     due to Tenant, pay to Landlord for each


                                       13
<PAGE>

     day of Tenant's Delay the amount of Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other
     charges that would have been payable hereunder had Tenant's Delay not
     occurred to the extent that such Tenant Delay caused the Rent Commencement
     Date to be later than the date such date would have occurred had such
     Tenant Delay not occurred. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of a
     Tenant Delay under clauses (ii) and (iii) above within twenty-four (24)
     hours after Landlord learns of such Tenant Delay. Subject to Tenant Delay
     and Force Majeure, if Landlord shall have failed to substantially complete
     the Premises Base Building Work on or before March 1, 2002, Tenant shall
     have the right to terminate the Lease by written notice to Landlord prior
     to March 15, 2002, whereupon this Lease shall terminate and be of no
     further force or effect thirty (30) days after the date of such notice
     unless Landlord shall have substantially completed the Premises Base
     Building Work prior to, or within such period.

          (b) Subject to Tenant Delay (as defined in Section 4.1(a) above) and
     Force Majeure, if Landlord shall have failed to substantially complete the
     Common Facilities Base Building Work by March 1, 2002 (the "Common
     Facilities Rent Credit Commencement Date") and if such failure materially
     interferes with or prohibits Tenant from performing Tenant's Work, or from
     obtaining any permits or approvals necessary for performing or completing
     Tenant's Work, Tenant shall receive a credit equal to one (1) days' worth
     of Basic Rent for each day beyond the Common Facilities Rent Credit
     Commencement Date that substantial completion of the Common Facilities Base
     Building Work is delayed. Subject to Tenant Delay and Force Majeure, if
     Landlord shall have failed to substantially complete the Common Facilities
     Base Building Work on or before April 1, 2002, Tenant shall have the right
     to terminate the Lease by written notice to Landlord prior to April 15,
     2002, whereupon this Lease shall terminate and be of no further force or
     effect thirty (30) days after the date of such notice unless Landlord shall
     have substantially completed the Common Facilities Base Building Work prior
     to, or within such period.

                                 USE OF PREMISES

     5.1 Permitted Use.

          (a) Tenant agrees that the Premises shall be used and occupied by
     Tenant only for Permitted Uses and for no other use without Landlord's
     express written consent.

          (b) Tenant  agrees to conform to the following  provisions  during the
     Term of this Lease:

               (i) Tenant shall cause all freight to be delivered to or removed
          from the Building and the Premises in accordance with the Rules and
          Regulations established by Landlord therefore;


                                       14
<PAGE>

               (ii) Tenant will not place on the exterior of the Premises
          (including both interior and exterior surfaces of doors and interior
          surfaces of windows) or on any part of the Building outside the
          Premises, any sign, symbol, advertisement or the like visible to
          public view outside of the Premises. Landlord will not withhold
          consent for signs or lettering on the entry doors to the Premises
          provided such signs conform to sign standards for the Building adopted
          by Landlord in its sole discretion and Tenant has submitted to
          Landlord a plan or sketch in reasonable detail (showing, without
          limitation, size, color, location, materials and method of affixation)
          of the sign to be placed on such entry doors. Landlord agrees,
          however, to maintain a tenant directory in the lobby of the Building
          (and, in the case of multi-tenant floors, in that floor's elevator
          lobby) in which will be placed Tenant's name (or any approved
          assignee's name) and the location of the Premises in the Building.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to place
          Tenant's name on the Building or on a sign next to the Building, at
          Tenant's sole cost and expense, provided Tenant obtains Landlord's
          consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
          delayed and the consent of any applicable governmental authorities,
          and Tenant delivers to Landlord plans for installation of such sign,
          which shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval, which approval
          shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord
          hereby consents to Tenant's exterior signage, as set forth in Exhibit
          M attached hereto and incorporated herein;

               (iii) Tenant shall not perform any act or carry on any practice
          which may injure the Premises, or any other part of the Building, or
          cause any offensive odors or loud noise or constitute a nuisance or a
          menace to any other tenant or tenants or other persons in the
          Building;

               (iv) Tenant shall, in its use of the Premises, comply with the
          requirements of all applicable governmental laws, rules and
          regulations, including, without limitation, the Americans With
          Disabilities Act of 1990 and the regulations of the Massachusetts
          Architectural Access Board. Landlord warrants and represents that the
          Base Building Work will comply with the Title III of the Americans
          with Disabilities Act of 1990 and any regulations or accessibility
          guidelines promulgated thereunder and with any other federal, state or
          municipal laws, regulations or building codes concerning handicapped
          access (collectively, "Access Requirements"). To the extent that any
          alterations to the Building are required as a result of the Base
          Building Work, and are not due to Tenants' use of the Premises or
          Tenant's Work, in order to come into compliance with the Access
          Requirements, Landlord shall make such alterations. The costs thereof
          and any other costs of complying with any Access Requirements shall be
          borne by Landlord and shall not be included in Operating Expenses; and

               (v) Tenant shall not abandon the Premises. For purposes of the
          foregoing, the term "abandonment" shall mean vacating the Premises and
          failing to perform Tenant's obligations hereunder.

     5.2 Installations and Alterations by Tenant.

          (a) Tenant shall make no alterations, additions (including, for the
     purposes hereof, wall-to-wall carpeting), or improvements (collectively,
     "Alterations") in or to the Premises (including Tenant's Work) without
     Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
     withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that if the Alterations affect or
     involve the Building's electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems or any
     other Building systems, or the roof of the Building, and such Alterations
     affect other tenants of the Building or the Property, or the Common
     Facilities, then Landlord's consent shall be granted or withheld in its
     sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without the
     necessity of acquiring Landlord's consent, perform non-structural
     Alterations that do not affect or involve the Building's electrical,
     plumbing or mechanical systems or any other Building systems, or the roof
     of the Building, and such Alterations do not affect other tenants of the
     Building or the Property, or the Common Facilities, and do not exceed
     $20,000.00 in cost in each instance. Any Alterations shall be in accordance
     with the Rules and Regulations in effect with respect thereto and with
     plans and specifications meeting the requirements set forth in the Rules
     and Regulations and approved in advance by Landlord, which approval shall
     not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All work shall (i) be
     performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all
     applicable laws, ordinances and regulations; (ii) be made at Tenant's sole
     cost and expense (subject to Landlord's Contribution with respect to
     Tenant's Work only); (iii) become part of the Premises and the property of
     Landlord, except for those items specified on Exhibit K attached hereto and
     incorporated herein; and (iv) be coordinated with any work being performed
     by Landlord in such a manner as not to damage the Building or unreasonably
     interfere with the construction or operation of the Building. At Landlord's
     request, Tenant shall, before its work is started, secure assurances
     satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion protecting Landlord
     against claims arising out of the furnishing of labor and materials for the
     Alterations. If any Alterations shall involve the removal of fixtures,
     equipment or other property in the Premises which are not Tenant's
     Removable Property, such fixtures, equipment or property shall be promptly
     replaced by Tenant at its expense with new fixtures, equipment or property
     of like utility and of at least equal quality. Except with respect to
     Tenant's Work, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all reasonable
     costs, including attorneys', architects', engineers', and consultants'
     fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with any request from Tenant
     pursuant to this Section 5.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant has the
     right to install an acid neutralization tank (the "Tank"), as well as all
     associated piping, provided that such Tank and piping be not more than six
     (6) feet below the finished floor of the Building. Such installation shall
     be subject to Landlord's prior approval, which approval shall not be
     unreasonably withheld, and the provisions of this Section 5.2.

          (b) All articles of personal property and all business fixtures,
     machinery and equipment and furniture owned or installed by Tenant solely
     at its expense in the Premises ("Tenant's Removable Property") shall remain
     the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time prior to
     the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, provided that Tenant, at
     its expense, shall repair any damage to the Building caused by such
     removal.

          (c) Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any
     labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant upon credit, and
     that no mechanic's or other lien for any such labor or materials shall
     attach to or affect the reversion or other estate or interest of Landlord
     in and to the Premises, the Building or the Property. To the maximum extent
     permitted by law, before such time as any contractor commences to perform
     work on behalf of Tenant, such contractor (and any subcontractors) shall
     furnish a written statement acknowledging the provisions set forth in the
     prior clause. Tenant agrees to pay when due the entire cost of any work
     done on behalf of Tenant, its agents, employees or independent contractors.
     If any lien is filed against all or any part of the Property for work
     claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished
     to, Tenant or its agents, employees or independent contractors and a
     subsequent Statement of Account is recorded pursuant to M.G.L.c. 254, ss.8,
     Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause such lien to be dissolved
     promptly within ten (10) days after receipt of notice that such lien has
     been filed, by the payment thereof or by the filing of a bond sufficient to
     accomplish the foregoing. If Tenant shall fail to discharge any such lien,
     Landlord may, at its option, discharge such lien and treat the cost thereof
     (including attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith) as Additional
     Rent payable upon demand, it being expressly agreed that such discharge by
     Landlord shall not be deemed to waive or release the Event of Default in
     not discharging such lien. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord
     harmless from and against any and all expenses, liens, claims, liabilities
     and damages based on or arising, directly or indirectly, by reason of the
     making of any alterations, additions or improvements by or on behalf of
     Tenant to the Premises under this Section, which obligation shall survive
     the expiration or termination of this Lease.

          (d) In the course of any work being performed by Tenant (including,
     without limitation, the "field installation" of any Tenant's Removable
     Property), Tenant agrees to use labor compatible with that being employed
     by Landlord for work in the Building or on the Property or other buildings
     owned by Landlord or its affiliates (which term, for purposes hereof, shall
     include, without limitation, entities which control or are under common
     control with or are controlled by Landlord or, if Landlord is a partnership
     or limited liability company, by any partner or member of Landlord) and not
     to employ or permit the use of any labor or otherwise take any action which
     might result in a labor dispute involving personnel providing services in
     the Building or on the Property pursuant to arrangements made by Landlord.

     5.3 Extra Hazardous Use. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant will not
do or permit anything to be done in or upon the Premises, or bring in anything
or keep anything therein, which shall increase the rate of property or liability
insurance on the Premises or the Property above the standard rate applicable to
Premises being occupied for the Permitted Uses. If the premium or rates payable
with respect to any policy or policies of insurance carried by or on behalf of
Landlord with respect to the Property increases as a result of any act or
activity on or use of the Premises (other than the Permitted Uses) during the
Term or payment by the insurer of any claim arising from any act or neglect of
Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Tenant shall pay such
increase, from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefore by
Landlord, as Additional Rent.


                                       17

     5.4 Hazardous Materials.

          (a) Tenant shall have the right to use, store, handle, treat,
     transport, release or dispose of the Hazardous Materials set forth in
     Exhibit I hereto on or about the Premises or the Property to the extent
     necessary or desirable in connection with the Permitted Uses provided the
     same is done in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. Such
     exhibit is representative but not exclusive of the Hazardous Materials used
     on or about the Premises by Tenant.

          (b) Any handling, treatment, transportation, storage, disposal or use
     of Hazardous Materials by Tenant in or about the Premises or the Property
     and Tenant's use of the Premises shall comply with all applicable
     Environmental Laws. To the extent required by any governmental authority or
     by Landlord, Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the written
     request therefore, disclose in writing to Landlord all Hazardous Materials
     that are being used by Tenant in the Premises at the time of such request,
     the nature of such use and the manner of storage and disposal. Without
     Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant shall not conduct any sampling or
     investigation of soil or groundwater on the Property to determine the
     presence of any constituents therein (unless such sampling or investigation
     is required by law, governmental authority, or in connection with a permit
     for Tenant's operations in accordance with the Permitted Use, in which
     case, Tenant shall provide Landlord with fifteen (15) days' prior written
     notice accompanied by Tenant's proposed work plan, and Tenant shall deliver
     to Landlord a copy of the results of such sampling or investigation within
     ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant).

          (c) Tenant shall indemnify, defend upon demand with counsel reasonably
     acceptable to Landlord, and hold Landlord harmless from and against, any
     liabilities, losses claims, damages, interest, penalties, fines, attorneys'
     fees, experts' fees, court costs, remediation costs, and other expenses
     (collectively, "Claims") which result from the use, storage, handling,
     treatment, transportation, release, threat of release or disposal of
     Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises or the Property by Tenant or
     Tenant's agents, employees, contractors or invitees. The provisions of this
     paragraph (c) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
     Lease.

          (d) Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord as soon as reasonably
     practicable of (i) any communication received by Tenant from any
     governmental authority concerning Hazardous Materials which relates to the
     Premises or the Property, and (ii) any Environmental Condition of which
     Tenant is aware.

          (e) Tenant acknowledges that it has received copies of the
     environmental information listed on Exhibit L ("Environmental Reports")
     from Landlord with respect to the Property. Except as set forth in the
     Environmental Reports, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, to
     the best of Landlord's knowledge, there are no Hazardous Materials in, on,
     under or emanating from the Premises or the Property that require
     remediation under any


                                       18
<PAGE>

     Environmental Law. Landlord agrees to indemnify, defend, and save Tenant
     harmless from and against any Claims actually incurred by Tenant arising
     from any enforcement action, third party claim for bodily injury or
     property damage or remediation required by any Environmental Law with
     respect to any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or emanating from the
     Premises or the Property (except if and to the extent that Tenant is
     required to indemnify Landlord against such Claims under Section 5.4(c)
     above), or to the extent arising from Landlord's violation of any
     Environmental Law during the Term of this Lease.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                            ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     6.1 Prohibition.

          (a) Tenant covenants and agrees that neither this Lease nor the term
     and estate hereby granted, nor any interest herein or therein, will be
     assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred, whether
     voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and that
     neither the Premises nor any part thereof will be encumbered in any manner
     by reason of any act or omission on the part of Tenant, or used or occupied
     or permitted to be used or occupied, by anyone other than Tenant, or for
     any use or purpose other than a Permitted Use, or be sublet (which term,
     without limitation, shall include granting of concessions, licenses and the
     like) in whole or in part, without, in each case, the prior written consent
     of Landlord. Tenant agrees that the Premises shall not be offered or
     advertised for assignment or subletting by Tenant or any person acting on
     behalf of Tenant without first giving prior written notice to Landlord.
     Landlord agrees to either grant or withhold its consent (and specify
     reasons for withholding its consent) within twenty (20) days of receipt of
     a request for consent. Without limiting the foregoing, any agreement
     pursuant to which: (x) Tenant is relieved from the obligation to pay, or a
     third party agrees to pay on Tenant's behalf, all or any portion of the
     Basic Rent or Additional Rent under this Lease; and/or (y) a third party
     undertakes or is granted by or on behalf of Tenant the right to assign or
     attempt to assign this Lease or sublet or attempt to sublet all or any
     portion of the Premises, shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to be an
     assignment of this Lease and subject to the provisions of this Article 6.
     The provisions of this paragraph (a) shall apply to a transfer (by one or
     more transfers) of a controlling portion of or interest in the stock or
     partnership or membership interests or other evidences of equity interests
     of Tenant as if such transfer were an assignment of this Lease; provided
     that if equity interests in Tenant at any time are or become traded on a
     public stock exchange, the transfer of equity interests in Tenant on a
     public stock exchange shall not be deemed an assignment within the meaning
     of this Article.

          (b) The provisions of paragraph (a) shall not apply to either (x)
     transactions with an entity into or with which Tenant is merged or
     consolidated, or to which all or substantially all of Tenant's assets are
     transferred, or (y) transactions with any entity which


                                       19
<PAGE>

     controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant;
     provided that in any such event:

               (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth, computed in
          accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
          applied, at least equal to the net worth of Tenant herein named on the
          date of this Lease,

               (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have
          been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the
          effective date of any such transaction (or as soon thereafter as
          possible if disclosure of such transaction would not be permitted
          under applicable law), and

               (iii) the assignee or surviving entity agrees directly with
          Landlord, by written instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to
          Landlord in its reasonable discretion, to be bound by all the
          obligations of Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, the
          covenant against further assignment and subletting.

          (c) In the event Landlord does not exercise its options pursuant to
     Section 6.4 below to recapture the Premises or terminate this Lease in
     whole or in part, and providing that Tenant is not in default of any of
     Tenant's obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure
     periods, Landlord's consent to a proposed assignment or sublease shall not
     be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Without limitation, it
     shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold consent if the following
     conditions are not satisfied:

               (i) The proposed use is limited to the Permitted Uses;

               (ii) The proposed assignee or subtenant is a reputable person or
          entity with sufficient financial worth considering the responsibility
          involved, based on evidence provided by Tenant (and others) to
          Landlord, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion;

               (iii) Neither (A) the proposed assignee or sublessee, nor (B) any
          person or entity which, directly or indirectly, controls, is
          controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed assignee
          or sublessee or any person or entity who controls the proposed
          assignee or sublessee, is then an occupant of any part of iPark,
          provided that Landlord has space available for lease in iPark,
          comparable in terms of size and finish as the Premises, at the time
          Tenant requests Landlord's consent to the proposed assignment or
          sublease;

               (iv) The proposed assignee or sublessee is not a person or entity
          with whom Landlord is then negotiating to lease space at the Property;
          comparable in terms of size and finish as the Premises (or the
          applicable portion of the Premises to be sublet);


                                       20
<PAGE>

               (v) The proposed sublease or assignment shall be in form
          reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and shall comply with the
          applicable provisions of this Article 6;

               (vi) The amount of the aggregate rent to be paid by the proposed
          subtenant is not less than ninety percent (90%) of the then current
          market rent per rentable square foot for the Premises as determined by
          Landlord in its reasonable discretion (Tenant shall request, in a
          written notice to Landlord, that Landlord determine the amount of such
          rent, and Landlord shall notify Tenant within five (5) Business Days
          of Landlord's receipt of such notice from Tenant of Landlord's
          reasonable determination of such rent); and

               (vii) Tenant shall not have (i) advertised or publicized in any
          way the availability of the Premises without prior notice to Landlord,
          or (ii) listed the Premises for subletting, whether through a broker,
          agent, representative, or otherwise at a rental rate less than that
          referred to in subparagraph (c)(vi) above.

     6.2 Acceptance of Rent. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or
any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, whether or
not in violation of the terms and conditions of the Lease, Landlord may, at any
time after an Event of Default, collect rent and other charges from the
assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent
and other charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting,
occupancy, collection or modification of any provisions of this Lease shall be
deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant
or occupant as a tenant or a release of Tenant from the further performance of
covenants on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder. Any consent by
Landlord to a particular assignment, subletting or occupancy or other act for
which Landlord's consent is required under paragraph (a) of Section 6.1 shall
not in any way diminish the prohibition stated in paragraph (a) of Section 6.1
as to any further such assignment, subletting or occupancy or other act or the
continuing liability of the original named Tenant. No assignment or subletting
hereunder shall relieve Tenant from its obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall
remain fully and primarily liable therefore. Landlord may withhold its consent
to a particular assignment if the assignment does not provide that the assignee
agrees to be independently bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements,
terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Lease on the part of Tenant
to be kept and performed. In addition to Tenant reimbursing Landlord for all
reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any request from Tenant
regarding assignment or subletting or any other act that is subject to Section
6.1, as set forth in Section 6.4 below, if Tenant has committed an Event of
Default (as defined in Section 14.1 hereof), Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of
any profit derived from any assignment or sublease. Provided that Tenant has not
committed an Event of Default, Tenant shall retain 100% of any profit derived
from any assignment or sublease.

     6.3 Intentionally Omitted.


                                       21
<PAGE>

     6.4 Landlord's Recapture Right. If an Event of Default (as defined in
Section 14.1 hereof) has occurred and is continuing), Landlord shall have the
right, to be exercised in writing within thirty (30) days after written notice
from Tenant seeking Landlord's consent to assign this Lease or sublease all or
any portion of the Premises, to terminate this Lease (in the event of a proposed
assignment) or recapture that portion of the Premises to be subleased (in the
event of a proposed sublease). In the case of a proposed assignment, this Lease
shall terminate as of the date (the "Recapture Date") which is the later of (a)
sixty (60) days after the date of Landlord's election, and (b) the proposed
effective date of such assignment or sublease, as if such date were the last day
of the Term of this Lease. If Landlord exercises the rights under this Section
in connection with a proposed sublease, this Lease shall be deemed amended to
eliminate the proposed sublease premises from the Premises as of the Recapture
Date, and thereafter all Basic Rent and Escalation Charges shall be
appropriately prorated to reflect the reduction of the Premises as of the
Recapture Date, and Landlord shall separately demise the recaptured portion of
the Premises from the remainder of the Premises.

     6.5 Further Requirements. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as
Additional Rent, for any actual and out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by Landlord in connection with any actual
or proposed assignment or sublease or other act described in paragraph (a) of
Section 6.1, whether or not consummated, including the costs of making
investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant.
Any sublease to which Landlord gives its consent shall not be valid unless and
until Tenant and the sublessee execute a consent agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion and a fully executed
counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord. Any sublease shall
provide that: (i) the term of the sublease ends no later than one day before the
last day of the Term of this Lease; (ii) such sublease is subject and
subordinate to this Lease; (iii) Landlord may enforce the provisions of the
sublease, including collection of rents; and (iv) in the event of termination of
this Lease or reentry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may,
at its sole discretion and option, take over all of the right, title and
interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall,
at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord, but nevertheless, Landlord shall not
(A) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease
(unless such act or omission is of a continuing nature and Landlord does not
cure the same within a reasonable time); (B) be subject to any defense or offset
previously accrued in favor of the subtenant against Tenant; or (C) be bound by
any previous modification of such sublease made without Landlord's written
consent or by any previous prepayment of more than one month's rent.

        RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS AND CONDITION OF PREMISES; SERVICES TO
                            BE FURNISHED BY LANDLORD

     7.1 Landlord Repairs.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord agrees to
     keep in good order, condition and repair the roof, public areas, exterior
     walls (including exterior glass) and structure of the Building (including
     all plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems, but specifically excluding
     any plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems installed by Tenant, and
     any supplemental heating, ventilation or air conditioning equipment or
     systems installed at Tenant's request or as a result of Tenant's
     requirements in excess of building standard design criteria, all of which
     shall be the responsibility of Tenant), all insofar as they affect the
     Premises, except that Landlord shall in no event be responsible to Tenant
     for the repair of glass in the Premises, the doors (or related glass and
     finish work) leading to the Premises, or any condition in the Premises or
     the Building caused by any act or neglect of Tenant, its invitees or
     contractors. Landlord shall also keep and maintain all Common Facilities in
     a good and clean order, condition and repair, free of snow and ice and
     accumulation of dirt and rubbish, and shall keep and maintain all
     landscaped areas on the Property in a neat and orderly condition. Landlord
     shall not be responsible to make any improvements or repairs to the
     Building other than as expressly in this Section 7.1 provided, unless
     expressly provided otherwise in this Lease.

          (b) Landlord shall never be liable for any failure to make repairs
     which Landlord has undertaken to make under the provisions of this Section
     7.1 or elsewhere in this Lease, unless Tenant has given notice to Landlord
     of the need to make such repairs, and Landlord has failed to commence to
     make such repairs within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, or
     fails to proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs.

     7.2 Tenant Repairs.

          (a) Tenant will keep the Premises and every part thereof neat and
     clean, and will maintain the same in good order, condition and repair,
     excepting only those repairs for which Landlord is responsible under the
     terms of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear of the Premises, and damage
     by fire or other casualty or as a consequence of the exercise of the power
     of eminent domain; and Tenant shall surrender the Premises, at the end of
     the Term, in such condition. Without limitation, Tenant shall comply with
     all laws, codes and ordinances from time to time in effect and all
     directions, rules and regulations of governmental agencies having
     jurisdiction, and the standards recommended by the Boston Board of Fire
     Underwriters applicable to Tenant's particular use and occupancy of the
     Premises, and shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain all permits, licenses and
     the like required thereby. Subject to Section 10.4 regarding waiver of
     subrogation, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of repairs which may
     be made necessary by reason of damage to the Building caused by any
     negligence or willful


                                       23
<PAGE>

     misconduct of Tenant, or its contractors or invitees (including any damage
     by fire or other casualty arising therefrom).

          (b) If repairs are required to be made by Tenant pursuant to the terms
     hereof, and Tenant fails to commence the repairs, upon not less than ten
     (10) days' prior written notice (except that no notice shall be required in
     the event of an emergency), Landlord may make or cause such repairs to be
     made (but shall not be required to do so), and the provisions of Section
     14.4 shall be applicable to the costs thereof. Landlord shall not be
     responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage whatsoever that may accrue to
     Tenant's stock or business by reason of Landlord's making such repairs.

     7.3 Floor Load - Heavy Machinery.

          (a) Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor in the Premises
     exceeding the floor load per square foot of area which such floor was
     designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right
     to prescribe the weight and position of all heavy business machines and
     mechanical equipment, including safes, which shall be placed so as to
     distribute the weight. Business machines and mechanical equipment shall be
     placed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant's expense in settings sufficient,
     in Landlord's judgment, to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and
     annoyance. Tenant shall not move any safe, heavy machinery, heavy
     equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures into or out of the Building
     without Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
     withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent may include a
     requirement to provide insurance, naming Landlord as an insured, in such
     amounts as Landlord may deem reasonable.

          (b) If any such safe, machinery, equipment, freight, bulky matter or
     fixtures requires special handling, Tenant agrees to employ only persons
     holding a Master Rigger's License to do such work, and that all work in
     connection therewith shall comply with applicable laws and regulations. Any
     such moving shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and Tenant will
     exonerate, indemnify and save Landlord harmless against and from any
     liability, loss, injury, claim or suit resulting directly or indirectly
     from such moving, subject to Section 10.4.

     7.4 Utility Services. The Premises shall be separately metered by Landlord,
at Landlord's expense, prior to the Commencement Date, for water, electricity
and gas.

     7.5 Other Services.

     Landlord shall also provide at all times:

          (a) Warm and cold water (at temperatures supplied by the city in which
     the Property is located) for laboratory use, drinking, lavatory and toilet
     purposes.


                                       24
<PAGE>

          (b) Access to the Premises at all times, subject to security
     precautions from time to time in effect, if any, and subject always to
     restrictions based on emergency conditions.

     Landlord may from time to time, but shall not be obligated to, provide one
or more attendants in or about the lobby of the Building, and the costs of such
services shall constitute Operating Expenses in accordance with the provisions
of Article 9 hereof. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that, if provided:
(i) such attendants shall not serve as police officers, and will be unarmed, and
will not be trained in situations involving potentially physical confrontation;
and (ii) such attendants will be solely an amenity to tenants of the Building
for purposes such as assisting visitors and invitees of tenants and others in
the Building, monitoring fire control and alarm equipment, and summoning
emergency services to the Building as and when needed, and not for the purpose
of securing any individual tenant premises or guaranteeing the physical safety
of Tenant's Premises or of Tenant's employees, agents, contractors or invitees.
If and to the extent that Tenant desires to provide security for the Premises or
for such persons or their property, Tenant shall be responsible for so doing,
after having first consulted with Landlord and after obtaining Landlord's
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord expressly disclaims
any and all responsibility and/or liability for the physical safety of Tenant's
property, and for that of Tenant's employees, agents, contractors and invitees,
and, without in any way limiting the operation of Article 10 hereof, Tenant, for
itself and its agents, contractors, invitees and employees, hereby expressly
waives any claim, action, cause of action or other right which may accrue or
arise as a result of any damage or injury to the person or property of Tenant or
any such agent, invitee, contractor or employee unless arising out of the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, its employees, or its
contractors. Tenant agrees that, as between Landlord and Tenant, it is Tenant's
responsibility to advise its employees, agents, contractors and invitees as to
necessary and appropriate safety precautions.

     7.6 Interruption of Service.

          (a) Landlord reserves the right to curtail, suspend, interrupt and/or
     stop the supply of water, sewage, electrical current, cleaning, and other
     services, and to curtail, suspend, interrupt and/or stop use of entrances
     and/or lobbies serving access to the Building, or other portions of the
     Property, provided Tenant has one reasonable means of access to the
     Premises at all times, without thereby incurring any liability to Tenant,
     when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs,
     alterations, replacements or improvements in the judgment of Landlord,
     reasonably exercised, desirable or necessary, or when prevented from
     supplying such services or use due to any act or neglect of Tenant or
     Tenant's agents employees, contractors or invitees or any person claiming
     by, through or under Tenant or by Force Majeure, including, but not limited
     to, strikes, lockouts, difficulty in obtaining materials, accidents, laws
     or orders, or inability, by exercise of reasonable diligence, to obtain
     electricity, water, gas, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power;
     provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to restore any
     such service. If, however, such curtailment, suspension, interruption
     and/or stoppage may be restored by Landlord and is within Landlord's
     control, Landlord agrees to use best efforts to restore such service. With
     respect to non-emergency repairs and maintenance, Landlord shall


                                       25
<PAGE>

     provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice and shall schedule such
     repairs and maintenance in a manner to minimize disruption with Tenant's
     business operations at the Premises. Except as set forth in paragraph (b)
     below, no diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation, nor any
     direct, indirect or consequential damages shall or will be claimed by
     Tenant as a result of, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of
     Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of, any such interruption,
     curtailment, suspension or stoppage in the furnishing of the foregoing
     services or use, irrespective of the cause thereof. Except as set forth in
     paragraph (b) below, failure or omission on the part of Landlord to furnish
     any of the foregoing services or use as provided in this paragraph shall
     not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, actual or constructive, nor
     entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent, nor to render the Landlord liable
     in damages, nor release Tenant from prompt fulfillment of any of its
     covenants under this Lease.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary,
     if (i) an interruption or curtailment, suspension or stoppage of an
     Essential Service (as said term is hereinafter defined) shall occur, except
     any of the same due to any act or neglect of Tenant or Tenant's agents
     employees, contractors or invitees or any person claiming by, through or
     under Tenant (any such interruption of an Essential Service being
     hereinafter referred to as a "Service Interruption"), and (ii) such Service
     Interruption occurs or continues as a result of the negligence or a
     wrongful conduct of the Landlord or Landlord's agents, servants, employees
     or contractors, and (iii) such Service Interruption continues for more than
     five (5) consecutive Business Days after Landlord shall have received
     notice thereof from Tenant, and (iv) as a result of such Service
     Interruption, the conduct of Tenant's normal operations in the Premises are
     materially and adversely affected, then there shall be an abatement of one
     day's Basic Rent and Escalation Charges for each day during which such
     Service Interruption continues after such five (5) Business Day period;
     provided, however, that if any part of the Premises is reasonably useable
     for Tenant's normal business operations or if Tenant conducts all or any
     part of its operations in any portion of the Premises notwithstanding such
     Service Interruption, then the amount of each daily abatement of Basic Rent
     and Escalation Charges shall only be proportionate to the nature and extent
     of the interruption of Tenant's normal operations or ability to use the
     Premises. The rights granted to Tenant under this paragraph (b) shall be
     Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy resulting from a failure of Landlord to
     provide services, and Landlord shall not otherwise be liable for any loss
     or damage suffered or sustained by Tenant resulting from any failure or
     cessation of services. For purposes hereof, the term "Essential Services"
     shall mean the following services: access to the Premises, gas, water and
     sewer/septic service and electricity, but only to the extent that Landlord
     has an obligation to provide same to Tenant under this Lease. Any abatement
     of Basic Rent under this paragraph shall apply only with respect to Basic
     Rent allocable to the period after each of the conditions set forth in
     subsections (i) through (iv) hereof shall have been satisfied and only
     during such times as each of such conditions shall exist.

                                   ARTICLE 8
                                REAL ESTATE TAXES

     8.1 Payments on Account of Real Estate Taxes.

          (a) "Tax Year" shall mean a twelve-month period commencing on July 1
     and falling wholly or partially within the Term, and "Taxes" shall mean (i)
     all taxes, assessments (special or otherwise), levies, fees and all other
     government levies, exactions and charges of every kind and nature, general
     and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, which
     are, at any time prior to or during the Term, imposed or levied upon or
     assessed against the Property or any portion thereof, or against any Basic
     Rent, Additional Rent or other rent of any kind or nature payable to
     Landlord by anyone on account of the ownership, leasing or operation of the
     Property, or which arise on account of or in respect of the ownership,
     development, leasing, operation or use of the Property or any portion
     thereof; (ii) all gross receipts taxes or similar taxes imposed or levied
     upon, assessed against or measured by any Basic Rent, Additional Rent or
     other rent of any kind or nature or other sum payable to Landlord by anyone
     on account of the ownership, development, leasing, operation, or use of the
     Property or any portion thereof; (iii) all value added, use and similar
     taxes at any time levied, assessed or payable on account of the ownership,
     development, leasing, operation, or use of the Property or any portion
     thereof; and (iv) reasonable expenses of any proceeding for abatement of
     any of the foregoing items included in Taxes, provided Landlord prevails in
     such abatement proceeding; but the amount of special taxes or special
     assessments included in Taxes shall be limited to the amount of the
     installment (plus any interest, other than penalty interest, payable
     thereon) of such special tax or special assessment required to be paid
     during the year in respect of which such Taxes are being determined. There
     shall be excluded from Taxes (i) any interest, penalty, charge or
     assessment arising from the failure of Landlord to pay taxes when due and
     (ii) all income, estate, succession, inheritance and transfer taxes of
     Landlord; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the
     present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so
     that a capital levy, franchise, income, profits, sales, rental, use and
     occupancy, or other tax or charge shall in whole or in part be substituted
     for, or added to, such ad valorem tax and levied against, or be payable by,
     Landlord with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, such tax or
     charge shall be included in the term "Taxes" for the purposes of this
     Article.

          (b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Share of Taxes
     for such Tax Year, such amount to be apportioned for any portion of a Tax
     Year in which the Commencement Date falls or the Term expires. Tenant's
     payment of its Proportionate Share of Taxes shall include the period from
     the Commencement Date to the Rent Commencement Date. In the event that the
     Property Rentable Area shall change during the Term of this lease Tenant's
     Proportionate Share of Taxes shall be adjusted pro rata.

          (c) Estimated payments by Tenant on account of Taxes shall be made on
     the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term of this
     Lease, commencing on the Commencement Date in the fashion herein provided
     for the payment of Basic Rent. The


                                       27
<PAGE>

     monthly amount so to be paid to Landlord shall be sufficient to provide
     Landlord by the time real estate tax payments are due with a sum equal to
     Tenant's required payment, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to
     time, on account of Taxes for the then current Tax Year. Promptly after
     receipt by Landlord of bills for such Taxes, Landlord shall advise Tenant
     of the amount thereof and the computation of Tenant's payment on account
     thereof. If estimated payments theretofore made by Tenant for the Tax Year
     covered by such bills exceed the required payment on account thereof for
     such Tax Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against
     subsequent obligations of Tenant on account of Taxes (or promptly refund
     such overpayment if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no
     further obligation to Landlord); but if the required payments on account
     thereof for such Tax Year are greater than estimated payments theretofore
     made on account thereof for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay the difference
     to Landlord within thirty (30) days after being so advised by Landlord, and
     the obligation to make such payment for any period within the Term shall
     survive expiration of the Term.

     8.2 Abatement. If Landlord shall receive any tax refund or reimbursement of
Taxes or sum in lieu thereof with respect to any Tax Year all or any portion of
which falls within the Term, then out of any balance remaining thereof after
deducting Landlord's reasonable expenses in obtaining such refund, Landlord
shall pay to Tenant, provided there does not then exist an Event of Default, an
amount equal to such refund or reimbursement or sum in lieu thereof (exclusive
of any interest, and apportioned if such refund is for a Tax Year a portion of
which falls outside the Term,) multiplied by Tenant's Proportionate Share;
provided, that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive more than the
payments made by Tenant on account of Taxes for such Tax Year pursuant to
paragraph (b) of Section 8.1.

                                   ARTICLE 9
                         OPERATING AND UTILITY EXPENSES

     9.1 Definitions. For the purposes of this Article, the following terms
shall have the following respective meanings:

          (a) "Operating Year" shall mean each calendar year, all or any part of
     which falls within the Term.

          (b) "Operating Expenses" shall mean the aggregate costs and expenses
     incurred by Landlord with respect to the operation, administration,
     cleaning, repair, maintenance and management of the Property, all as set
     forth in Exhibit D annexed hereto ("Operating Services"), provided that, if
     during any portion of the Operating Year for which Operating Expenses are
     being computed, less than all of the rentable area of the Property was
     occupied by tenants or if Landlord is not supplying all tenants with the
     Operating Services being supplied hereunder, actual Operating Expenses
     incurred shall be reasonably extrapolated by Landlord on an item by item
     basis to the estimated Operating Expenses that would have been incurred if
     ninety-five percent (95%)


                                       28
<PAGE>

     of the Property were fully occupied for such Operating Year and such
     services were being supplied to all tenants, and such extrapolated amount
     shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be included in the Operating
     Expenses for such Year. Furthermore, if during any Operating Year for which
     Operating Expenses are computed, Landlord has agreed to supply an Operating
     Service to a particular tenant of the Property and such tenant has agreed
     to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of such Operating Service,
     then the costs associated with providing such Operating Service to such
     tenant shall not be included in Operating Expenses. Actual Operating
     Expenses incurred in providing such Operating Service to the other tenants
     of the Property shall be reasonably extrapolated by Landlord on an item by
     item basis to the estimated Operating Expenses that would have been
     incurred if ninety-five percent (95%) of the Property were fully occupied
     for such Year and such services were being supplied to all tenants, and
     such extrapolated amount shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be
     the Operating Expenses attributable to such Operating Service for such
     Year.

     9.2 Tenant's Payment of Operating Expenses.

          (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as an Escalation Charge, an amount
     equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, such amount to
     be apportioned for any portion of an Operating Year in which the Rent
     Commencement Date falls or the Term of this Lease ends. For the period from
     the Commencement Date to the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant's payment of
     Operating Expenses shall be equal to the actual amount of Operating
     Expenses incurred with respect to the Premises, but in no event shall
     exceed $1.75 per square foot.

          (b) Estimated payments by Tenant on account of Operating Expenses
     shall be made on the first day of each and every calendar month during the
     Term of this Lease, commencing on the Commencement Date in the fashion
     herein provided for the payment of Basic Rent. The monthly amount so to be
     paid to Landlord shall be sufficient to provide Landlord by the end of each
     Operating Year a sum equal to Tenant's required payment, as reasonably
     estimated by Landlord from time to time during each Operating Year, on
     account of Operating Expenses for such Operating Year. Within ninety (90)
     days after the end of each Operating Year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant
     a reasonably detailed accounting of Operating Expenses for such Operating
     Year, and Landlord shall certify to the accuracy thereof. If estimated
     payments theretofore made for such Operating Year by Tenant exceed Tenant's
     required payment on account thereof for such Operating Year according to
     such statement, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against
     subsequent obligations of Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses (or
     promptly refund such overpayment if the Term of this Lease has ended and
     Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but if the required payments
     on account thereof for such Operating Year are greater than the estimated
     payments (if any) theretofore made on account thereof for such Operating
     Year, Tenant shall make payment to Landlord within thirty (30) days after
     being so advised by Landlord, and the obligation to make such payment for
     any period within the Term shall survive expiration of the Term.


                                       29
<PAGE>

          (c) Tenant shall have the right to examine, copy and audit Landlord's
     books and records establishing Operating Expenses for any Operating Year
     for a period of one (1) year following the date that Tenant receives the
     statement of Operating Expenses for such Operating Year from Landlord.
     Tenant shall give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days' prior notice of
     its intention to examine and audit such books and records, and such
     examination and audit shall take place at such place within the city and
     state in which the Property is located. All costs of the examination and
     audit shall be borne by Tenant; provided, however, that if such examination
     and audit establishes that the actual Operating Expenses for the Operating
     Year in question are less than the amount set forth as the annual Operating
     Expenses on the annual statement delivered to Tenant by at least ten
     percent (10%), then Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of such
     examination and audit. If, pursuant to the audit, the payments made for
     such Operating Year by Tenant exceed Tenant's required payment on account
     thereof for such Operating Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of
     overpayment against subsequent obligations of Tenant with respect to
     Operating Expenses (or promptly refund such overpayment if the Term of this
     Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but, if
     the payments made by Tenant for such Operating Year are less than Tenant's
     required payment as established by the examination and audit, Tenant shall
     pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after conclusion of
     the examination and audit, and the obligation to make such payment for any
     period within the Term shall survive expiration of the Term. If Tenant does
     not elect to exercise its right to examine and audit Landlord's books and
     records for any Operating Year within the time period provided for by this
     paragraph, Tenant shall have no further right to challenge Landlord's
     statement of Operating Expenses.

     9.3 Utility Payments. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of all
water, electricity and gas used and consumed in the Premises, provided Landlord
has separately metered the same as required above. Tenant shall pay for
electricity and natural gas directly to the utility company on or before the
date when due. The obligation to pay for electricity and natural gas used and
consumed in the Premises during the last month of the Term hereof shall survive
expiration of the Term.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                    INDEMNITY AND PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

     10.1 Tenant's Indemnity. Except to the extent arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or employees, Tenant
agrees to indemnify and save harmless Landlord and Landlord's partners, members,
shareholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and contractors
and any Holder from and against all claims, losses, cost, damages, liability or
expenses of whatever nature arising from: (i) any accident, injury or damage
whatsoever to any person, or to the property of any person, occurring in the
Premises; (ii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever to any person, or to
the property of any person, occurring outside of the Premises, but on the
Property, where such accident, damage or injury results from any negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of Tenant or Tenant's agents,


                                       30
<PAGE>

employees, contractors, invitees or sublessees; or (iii) the use or occupancy of
the Premises or of any business conducted therein or anything or work whatsoever
done or any condition created (other than by Landlord) in the Premises, and, in
any case, occurring after the Commencement Date (or such earlier date as of
which Tenant takes possession of the Premises) until the expiration of the Term
of this Lease and thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of
the Premises. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity
against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in
connection with any such claim or any proceeding brought thereon, and the
defense thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs at both the trial and appellate levels. The provisions of this Section
10.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

     10.2 Tenant Insurance. Tenant agrees to maintain in full force from the
date upon which Tenant first enters the Premises for any reason, throughout the
Term of this Lease, and thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part
of the Premises, a policy of commercial general liability and property damage
insurance (including broad form contractual liability, independent contractor's
hazard and completed operations coverage) under which Tenant is named as an
insured and Landlord, and, at Landlord's request, Landlord's property manager,
any Holder, and such other persons as Landlord reasonably may request are named
as additional insureds, and under which the insurer agrees to indemnify and hold
Landlord and such other additional named insureds harmless from and against all
cost, expense and/or liability arising out of or based upon any and all claims,
accidents, injuries and damages set forth in Section 10.1. Tenant may satisfy
such insurance requirements by including the Premises in a so-called "blanket"
and/or "umbrella" insurance policy, provided that the amount of coverage
allocated to the Premises shall fulfill the requirements set forth herein. Each
policy required hereunder shall be non-cancelable and non-amendable with respect
to Landlord and Landlord's said designees without thirty (30) days' prior
notice, shall be written on an "occurrence" basis, and shall be in at least the
amounts of the Initial General Liability Insurance specified in Section 1.1 or
such greater amounts as Landlord in its reasonable discretion shall from time to
time request, and a duplicate original or certificates thereof reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, together with a photocopy of the entire policy, shall
be delivered to Landlord.

     10.3 Tenant's Risk. Tenant agrees that its use and occupancy of the
Premises and its use of such other portions of the Property as Tenant is herein
given the right to use shall be at Tenant's own risk. Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees or contractors for any damage,
injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, claims for
the interruption of or loss to Tenant's business) based on, arising out of or
resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to
any portion of the Premises or the Property, any fire, robbery, theft,
mysterious disappearance and/or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any
other tenants of the Building or of any other person or persons, or any leakage
in any part or portion of the Premises or the Building, or from water, rain or
snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building,
or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building, unless due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees, or
contractors. Any goods, property or personal


                                       31
<PAGE>

effects stored or placed in or about the Premises shall be at the sole risk of
Tenant, and neither Landlord nor Landlord's insurers shall in any manner be held
responsible therefore unless due to the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord, Landlord's agents, or its employees. Landlord shall not be responsible
or liable to Tenant, or to those claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any
loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of
persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or
connecting with the Premises or any part of the Property or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be released from liability for
any injury, loss, damages or liability to the extent arising from any negligence
or willful misconduct of Landlord, its servants, employees or agents acting
within the scope of their authority on or about the Premises; provided, however,
that in no event shall Landlord, its servants, employees or agents have any
liability to Tenant based on any loss with respect to or interruption in the
operation of Tenant's business. Tenant shall carry "all-risk" property insurance
on a "replacement cost" basis, insuring Tenant's Removable Property and any
Alterations made by Tenant pursuant to Section 5.2, to the extent that the same
have not become the property of Landlord. The provisions of this Section 10.3
shall be applicable from and after the execution of this Lease and until the end
of the Term of this Lease, and during such further period as Tenant may use or
be in occupancy of any part of the Premises or of the Building.

     10.4 Waiver of Subrogation. The parties hereto shall each procure an
appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any property insurance policy on the
Premises, the Property, or any personal property, fixtures or equipment located
thereon or therein, pursuant to which the insurer waives subrogation or consents
to a waiver of right of recovery in favor of either party, its respective agents
or employees. Having obtained such clauses and/or endorsements, each party
hereby agrees that it will not make any claim against or seek to recover from
the other or its agents or employees for any loss or damage to its property or
the property of others resulting from fire or other perils covered by such
property insurance (or which would have been covered had all insurance required
hereunder been maintained).

                                   ARTICLE 11
                           FIRE, EMINENT DOMAIN, ETC.

     11.1 Landlord's Right of Termination. Within sixty (60) days after damage
by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a good faith
estimate of the time to restore the Premises and/or Building. If the Premises or
the Building are substantially damaged by fire or casualty (the term
"substantially damaged" meaning damage of such a character that the same cannot,
in the ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within one hundred
twenty (120) days from the time that repair work would commence), or if any part
of the Building is taken by any exercise of the right of eminent domain, then
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease (even if Landlord's entire
interest in the Premises may have been divested) by giving notice of Landlord's
election so to do within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such casualty
or the effective date of such taking, whereupon this Lease shall terminate
thirty (30) days after the date of such notice with the same force and effect as
if such date were the date


                                       32
<PAGE>

originally established as the expiration date hereof, provided that if the
Premises are not damaged and the Premises need not be vacant for Landlord to
restore the damaged portion(s) of the Building, then such termination right
shall be available only if all other leases in the Building are also terminated.

     11.2 Restoration; Tenant's Right of Termination. If the Premises or the
Building are damaged by fire or other casualty, and this Lease is not terminated
pursuant to Section 11.1, Landlord shall thereafter use reasonable efforts to
restore the Building and the Premises (excluding any Alterations made by Tenant
pursuant to Section 5.2 which have not become the property of the Landlord) to
proper condition for Tenant's use and occupation, provided that Landlord's
obligation shall be limited to the amount of insurance proceeds available
therefore, (but such limitation shall only apply if all insurance required to be
maintained by Landlord hereunder is in effect at the time of such fire or
casualty) and Landlord shall not be obligated to commence restoration until
Landlord has received the insurance proceeds. If, for any reason, such
restoration shall not be substantially completed within six (6) months after the
expiration of the sixty-day period referred to in Section 11.1 (which six-month
period may be extended for such periods of time as Landlord is prevented from
proceeding with or completing such restoration due to Force Majeure, but in no
event for more than an additional three (3) months), Tenant shall have the right
to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord thereof within thirty (30)
days after the expiration of such period (as so extended) provided that such
restoration is not completed within such period. This Lease shall cease and come
to an end without further liability or obligation on the part of either party
thirty (30) days after such giving of notice by Tenant unless, within such
thirty-day period, Landlord substantially completes such restoration. Such right
of termination shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity
for Landlord's failure so to complete such restoration, and time shall be of the
essence with respect thereto.

     11.3 Landlord's Insurance. Landlord agrees to maintain in full force and
effect, during the Term of this Lease, property damage insurance with such
deductibles and in such amounts as may from time to time be carried by
reasonably prudent owners of similar buildings in the area in which the Property
is located, provided that in no event shall Landlord be required to carry other
than fire and extended coverage insurance or insurance in amounts equal to 100%
of the actual insurable cash value of the Building (excluding footings and
foundations). Landlord may satisfy such insurance requirements by including the
Property in a so-called "blanket" insurance policy, provided that the amount of
coverage allocated to the Property shall fulfill the foregoing requirements.

     11.4 Abatement of Rent. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire
or other casualty, Basic Rent and Escalation Charges payable by Tenant shall
abate proportionately for the period during which, by reason of such damage,
there is substantial interference with Tenant's use of, or access to the
Premises, having regard for the extent to which Tenant may be required to
discontinue Tenant's use of all or an undamaged portion of the Premises due to
such damage, but such abatement or reduction shall end if and when Landlord
shall have substantially


                                       33
<PAGE>

completed sufficient restoration that Tenant is reasonably able to use the
Premises and the Premises are in substantially the condition in which they were
prior to such damage (excluding any Alterations made by Tenant pursuant to
Section 5.2) which have not become the property of the Landlord). If such fire
or other casualty occurs during the period between the Commencement Date and the
Rent Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed one day for
each day from the date of the casualty until Landlord shall have substantially
completed sufficient restoration such that Tenant is reasonably able to commence
construction of Tenant's Work, and all Escalation Charges shall abate during
such period. If the Premises shall be affected by any exercise of the power of
eminent domain, Basic Rent and Escalation Charges payable by Tenant shall be
justly and equitably abated and reduced according to the nature and extent of
the loss of use thereof suffered by Tenant. In no event shall Landlord have any
liability for damages to Tenant for inconvenience, annoyance, or interruption of
business arising from any fire or other casualty or eminent domain.

     11.5 Condemnation Award. Landlord shall have and hereby reserves and
excepts, and Tenant hereby grants and assigns to Landlord, all rights to recover
for damages to the Property and the leasehold interest hereby created, and to
compensation accrued or hereafter to accrue by reason of any taking, by exercise
of the right of eminent domain, and by way of confirming the foregoing, Tenant
hereby grants and assigns, and covenants with Landlord to grant and assign to
Landlord, all rights to such damages or compensation, and covenants to deliver
such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to
time request, and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord its
attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver in Tenant's name all such assignments
and assurances. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant
from prosecuting in any condemnation proceedings a claim for the value of any of
Tenant's Removable Property installed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant's
expense and for relocation expenses, provided that such action shall not affect
the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the taking
authority.

                             HOLDING OVER; SURRENDER

     12.1 Holding Over. Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the
Term of this Lease shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at an
amount equal to two (2) times the Basic Rent then in effect plus Escalation
Charges and other Additional Rent herein provided (prorated on a daily basis).
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, direct and/or indirect, sustained
by reason of any such holding over. In all other respects, such holding over
shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as
applicable.

     12.2 Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of
the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord
the Premises in neat and clean condition and in good order, condition and
repair, together with all alterations, additions and improvements which may have
been made or installed in, on or to the Premises prior to or


                                       34
<PAGE>

during the Term of this Lease (except as hereinafter provided), excepting only
ordinary wear and use, damage by fire or other casualty, and taking by eminent
domain. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's Removable Property and, to the
extent specified by Landlord at the time of Landlord's consent thereto, all
alterations, installations and additions made by Tenant (excluding Tenant's
Work, other than the Tank) and all partitions wholly within the Premises unless
installed initially by Landlord in preparing the Premises for Tenant's
occupancy; and shall repair any damages to the Premises, the Building, or the
Property caused by such removal, subject to Section 10.4 above. Any Tenant's
Removable Property which shall remain in the Building or on the Premises after
the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease (and vacancy thereof by
Tenant) shall be deemed conclusively to have been abandoned, and either may be
retained by Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as
Landlord may see fit, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

                     RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES; TRANSFER OF TITLE

     13.1 Rights of Mortgagees.

          (a) This Lease shall be subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or
     ground lease or similar encumbrance (collectively, a "Mortgage", and the
     holder thereof from time to time the "Holder") from time to time
     encumbering the Premises, whether executed and delivered prior to or
     subsequent to the date of this Lease, unless the Holder shall elect
     otherwise. If this Lease is subordinate to any Mortgage and the Holder or
     any other party shall succeed to the interest of Landlord pursuant to the
     Mortgage (such Holder or other party, a "Successor"), at the election of
     the Successor), Tenant shall attorn to the Successor and this Lease shall
     continue in full force and effect between the Successor and Tenant. Not
     more than fifteen (15) days after Landlord's written request, Tenant agrees
     to execute such instruments of subordination or attornment in confirmation
     of the foregoing agreement as the Successor reasonably may request.

          (b) Landlord represents and warrants that the only Mortgage which
     encumbers the Property as of the date of this Lease is held by UBS
     Principal Finance LLC (the "Existing Holder"). Tenant acknowledges that
     Landlord has delivered Existing Holder's form of Non-Disturbance Agreement
     to Tenant. Landlord agrees to use best efforts to have the Existing Holder
     enter into such Non-Disturbance Agreement with Tenant. Tenant agrees to use
     commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such Non-Disturbance
     Agreement with Existing Holder. In addition, Landlord agrees to use best
     efforts to obtain any subsequent Holder's written agreement that, subject
     to such reasonable qualifications as the Holder may impose, in the event
     that the Holder or any other party shall succeed to the interest of
     Landlord hereunder pursuant to such Mortgage, so long as no Event of
     Default exists hereunder, Tenant's right to possession of the Premises
     shall not be disturbed and Tenant's other rights hereunder shall not be
     adversely affected by any foreclosure of such Mortgage, and such Holder
     shall recognize Tenant as its tenant on the terms and conditions of this
     Lease. For purposes hereof, the term "best


                                       35
<PAGE>

     efforts" shall not include the payment of any sum of money or the consent
     to less favorable terms and conditions with respect to the obligations or
     indebtedness secured or created by the Mortgage.

     13.2 Assignment of Rents and Transfer of Title.

          (a) With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord's
     interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in
     nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage
     on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees that the execution
     thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such
     mortgage shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder of any of
     the obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such holder shall, by notice
     sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect and, except as aforesaid, such
     holder shall be treated as having assumed Landlord's obligations hereunder
     only upon foreclosure of such holder's mortgage and the taking of
     possession of the Premises.

          (b) In no event shall the acquisition of Landlord's interest in the
     Property by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases Landlord's
     entire interest in the Property back to the seller thereof be treated as an
     assumption by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord's obligations
     hereunder, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, and its
     successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord's
     obligations hereunder. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and
     subordinate to the lease to such purchaser provided that Tenant's rights
     under this Lease are not disturbed. For all purposes, such seller-lessee,
     and its successors in title, shall be the Landlord hereunder unless and
     until Landlord's position shall have been assumed by such purchaser-lessor.

          (c) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, in the event
     of any transfer of title to the Property by Landlord, Landlord shall
     thereafter be entirely freed and relieved from the performance and
     observance of all covenants and obligations hereunder provided such
     transferee assumes all of Landlord's obligations hereunder in writing.

     13.3 Notice to Mortgagee. After receiving notice from Landlord of any
Holder of a Mortgage which includes the Premises, no notice from Tenant to
Landlord alleging any default by Landlord shall be effective unless and until a
copy of the same is given to such Holder (provided Tenant shall have been
furnished with the name and address of such Holder), and the curing of any of
Landlord's defaults by such Holder shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

                                DEFAULT; REMEDIES

     14.1 Tenant's Default.

          (a) If at any time subsequent to the date of this Lease any one or
     more of the following events (herein referred to as an "Event of Default")
     shall occur:

               (i) Tenant shall fail to pay the Basic Rent, Escalation Charges
          or any other Additional Rent hereunder when due and such failure shall
          continue for five (5) Business Days after notice to Tenant from
          Landlord; or

               (ii) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any other
          covenant herein contained on Tenant's part to be performed or observed
          and Tenant shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after
          notice to Tenant specifying such neglect or failure, or if such
          failure is of such a nature that Tenant cannot reasonably remedy the
          same within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall fail to commence
          promptly (and in any event within such thirty (30) day period) to
          remedy the same and to prosecute such remedy to completion with
          diligence and continuity (and in any event, within ninety (90) days
          after the notice described in this subparagraph (ii)); or

               (iii) Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises shall be taken
          on execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant; or

               (iv) Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors
          or shall be adjudicated insolvent, or shall file any petition or
          answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
          readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself
          under any present or future Federal, State or other statute, law or
          regulation for the relief of debtors (other than the Bankruptcy Code,
          as hereinafter defined), or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in
          the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of
          all or any substantial part of its properties, or shall admit in
          writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due;
          or

               (v) An Event of Bankruptcy (as hereinafter defined) shall occur
          with respect to Tenant; or

               (vi) A petition shall be filed against Tenant under any law
          (other than the Bankruptcy Code) seeking any reorganization,
          arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or
          similar relief under any present or future Federal, State or other
          statute, law or regulation and shall remain undismissed or unstayed
          for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive), or
          if any trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of
          all or any substantial part of its properties shall be appointed
          without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant and such appointment
          shall remain


                                       37
<PAGE>

          unvacated or unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or
          not consecutive); or

               (vii) If: (x) Tenant shall fail to pay the Basic Rent, Escalation
          Charges or any other Additional Rent hereunder when due or shall fail
          to perform or observe any other covenant herein contained on Tenant's
          part to be performed or observed and Tenant shall cure any such
          failure within the applicable grace period set forth in clauses (i) or
          (ii) above; or (y) an Event of Default of the kind set forth in
          clauses (i) or (ii) above shall occur and Landlord shall, in its sole
          discretion, permit Tenant to cure such Event of Default after the
          applicable grace period has expired; and the same or a similar failure
          shall occur more than once twice within the next 365 days (whether or
          not such similar failure is cured within the applicable grace period);

then in any such case, Landlord may terminate this Lease as hereinafter provided
and exercise any other rights or remedies available under this Lease, at law or
in equity. .

               (b) For purposes of clause (a)(v) above, an "Event of Bankruptcy"
          means the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant, or the entry of an
          order for relief against Tenant, under Chapter 7, 11, or 13 of the
          Bankruptcy Code, and the term "Bankruptcy Code" means 11 U.S.C ss.101,
          et seq.. If an Event of Bankruptcy occurs, then the trustee of
          Tenant's bankruptcy estate or Tenant as debtor-in-possession may
          (subject to final approval of the court) assume this Lease, and may
          subsequently assign it, only if it does the following within sixty
          (60) days after the date of the filing of the voluntary petition, the
          entry of the order for relief (or such additional time as a court of
          competent jurisdiction may grant, for cause, upon a motion made within
          the original sixty-day period):

                    (i) file a motion to assume the Lease with the appropriate
               court;

                    (ii) satisfy all of the following conditions, which Landlord
               and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable:

                         (A) cure all Defaults of Tenant under this Lease or
                    provide Landlord with Adequate Assurance (as defined below)
                    that it will (x) cure all monetary Defaults of Tenant
                    hereunder within ten (10) days from the date of the
                    assumption; and (y) cure all nonmonetary Defaults of Tenant
                    hereunder within thirty (30) days from the date of the
                    assumption;

                         (B) compensate Landlord and any other person or entity,
                    or provide Landlord with Adequate Assurance that within ten
                    (10) days after the date of the assumption, it will
                    compensate Landlord and such other person or entity, for any
                    pecuniary loss that Landlord and such other person or entity
                    incurred as a result of any Event of Default, the trustee,
                    or the debtor-in-possession;


                                       38
<PAGE>

                         (C) provide Landlord with Adequate Assurance of Future
                    Performance (as defined below) of all of Tenant's
                    obligations under this Lease; and

                         (D) deliver to Landlord a written statement that the
                    conditions herein have been satisfied.

          (c) For purposes only of the foregoing paragraph (b), and in addition
     to any other requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, any future federal
     bankruptcy law and applicable case law, "Adequate Assurance" means at least
     meeting the following conditions, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to
     be commercially reasonable:

               (i) entering an order segregating sufficient cash to pay Landlord
          and any other person or entity under paragraph (b) above, and

               (ii) granting to Landlord a valid first lien and security
          interest (in form acceptable to Landlord) in all property comprising
          the Tenant's "property of the estate," as that term is defined in
          Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, located on, used at or relating to
          the Premises, which lien and security interest secures the trustee's
          or debtor-in-possession's obligation to cure the monetary and
          nonmonetary defaults under the Lease within the periods set forth in
          paragraph (b) above.

          (d) For purposes only of paragraph (b) above, and in addition to any
     other requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, any future federal bankruptcy
     law and applicable case law, "Adequate Assurance of Future Performance"
     means at least meeting the following conditions, which Landlord and Tenant
     acknowledge to be commercially reasonable:

               (i) the trustee or debtor-in-possession depositing with Landlord,
          as security for the timely payment of rent and other monetary
          obligations, an amount equal to the sum of two (2) months' Basic Rent
          plus an amount equal to two (2) months' installments on account of
          Escalation Charges;

               (ii) the trustee or the debtor-in-possession agreeing to pay in
          advance, on each day that the Basic Rent is payable, the monthly
          installments on account of Escalation Charges;

               (iii) the trustee or debtor-in-possession providing adequate
          assurance of the source of the rent and other consideration due under
          this Lease;

               (iv) Tenant's bankruptcy estate and the trustee or
          debtor-in-possession providing Adequate Assurance of the feasibility
          of the bankruptcy estate (and any successor after the conclusion of
          the Tenant's bankruptcy proceedings) continuing to have sufficient
          unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and
          administrative expenses to assure Landlord that the bankruptcy estate
          (and any successor


                                       39
<PAGE>

          after the conclusion of the Tenant's bankruptcy proceedings) will have
          sufficient funds to fulfill Tenant's obligations hereunder.

          (e) If the trustee or the debtor-in-possession assumes the Lease under
     paragraph (b) above and applicable bankruptcy law, it may assign its
     interest in this Lease only if the proposed assignee first provides
     Landlord with Adequate Assurance of Future Performance of all of Tenant's
     obligations under the Lease, and if Landlord determines, in the exercise of
     its reasonable business judgment, that the assignment of this Lease will
     not breach any other lease, or any mortgage, financing agreement, or other
     agreement relating to the Property by which Landlord or the Property is
     then bound (and Landlord shall not be required to obtain consents or
     waivers from any third party required under any lease, mortgage, financing
     agreement, or other such agreement by which Landlord is then bound).

          (f) For purposes only of paragraph (e) above, and in addition to any
     other requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, any future federal bankruptcy
     law and applicable case law, "Adequate Assurance of Future Performance"
     means at least the satisfaction of the following conditions, which Landlord
     and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable:

               (i) the proposed assignee submitting a current financial
          statement, audited by a certified public accountant, that allows a net
          worth and working capital in amounts determined in the reasonable
          business judgment of Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future
          performance by the assignee of Tenant's obligation under this Lease;
          and

               (ii) if requested by Landlord in the exercise of its reasonable
          business judgment, the proposed assignee obtaining a guarantee (in
          form and substance satisfactory to Landlord) from one or more persons
          who satisfy Landlord's standards of creditworthiness.

     14.2 Landlord's Remedies.

          (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may terminate
     this Lease by notice to Tenant, specifying a date not less than five (5)
     days after the giving of such notice on which this Lease shall terminate
     and this Lease shall come to an end on the date specified therein as fully
     and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for
     the expiration of the Term of this Lease, and Tenant will then quit and
     surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as
     hereinafter provided.

          (b) If this Lease shall have been terminated as provided in this
     Article, or if any execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant
     or any of Tenant's property whereupon the Premises shall be taken or
     occupied by someone other than Tenant, then Landlord may re-enter the
     Premises, either by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and remove
     and dispossess Tenant and all other persons and any and all property from
     the same, as if this Lease had not been made.


                                       40
<PAGE>

          (c) If this Lease shall have been terminated as provided in this
     Article, Tenant shall pay the Basic Rent, Escalation Charges and other sums
     payable hereunder up to the time of such termination, and thereafter
     Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the
     absence of such termination, and whether or not the Premises shall have
     been relet, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as
     liquidated current damages: (x) the Basic Rent, Escalation Charges and
     other sums that would be payable hereunder if such termination had not
     occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises,
     after deducting all reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting,
     including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage
     commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, advertising, alteration costs
     and expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay the
     portion of such current damages referred to in clause (x) above to Landlord
     monthly on the days which the Basic Rent would have been payable hereunder
     if this Lease had not been terminated.

          (d) At any time after termination of this Lease as provided in this
     Article, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any such current
     damages, as liquidated final damages and in lieu of all such current
     damages beyond the date of such demand, at Landlord's election Tenant shall
     pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Basic Rent,
     Escalation Charges and other sums as hereinbefore provided which would be
     payable hereunder from the date of such demand assuming that, for the
     purposes of this paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on account of Taxes
     and Operating Expenses would be the same as the payments required for the
     immediately preceding Operating or Tax Year for what would be the then
     unexpired Term of this Lease if the same remained in effect, over the then
     fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period.

          (e) In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and
     dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (i) re-let
     the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord
     or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord's option be equal
     to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted
     the balance of the Term of this Lease and may grant concessions or free
     rent to the extent that Landlord reasonably considers advisable and
     necessary to re-let the same and (ii) make such alterations, repairs and
     decorations in the Premises as Landlord considers advisable and necessary
     for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such
     reasonable alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be
     construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord
     agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after
     an Event of Default, provided Tenant has vacated the Premises. Tenant
     hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or
     under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or
     dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the
     Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and
     conditions of this Lease.

     14.3 Additional Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay when due any sums under
this Lease designated as an Escalation Charge or other Additional Rent, Landlord
shall have the same rights and remedies as Landlord has hereunder for failure to
pay Basic Rent.


                                       41
<PAGE>

     14.4 Remedying Defaults. Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be
required, to pay such sums or do any act which requires the expenditure of
monies which may be necessary or appropriate by reason of the failure or neglect
of Tenant to perform any of the provisions of this Lease, and in the event of
the exercise of such right by Landlord, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord
forthwith upon demand all such sums, together with interest thereon at a rate
equal to 3% plus the prime rate published from time to time in The Wall Street
Journal or its successor publication (but in no event less than 18% per annum),
as Additional Rent. Any payment of Basic Rent, Escalation Charges or other sums
payable hereunder not paid when due shall, at the option of Landlord, bear
interest at a rate equal to 3% plus the prime rate published from time to time
in The Wall Street Journal or its successor publication (but in no event less
than 18% per annum), from the due date thereof and shall be payable forthwith on
demand by Landlord, as Additional Rent.

     14.5 Remedies Cumulative. The specified remedies to which Landlord may
resort hereunder are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of
redress to which Landlord may at any time be entitled lawfully, and Landlord may
invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law
or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for.

     14.6 Enforcement Costs. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses at both the trial and appellate
levels) incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the successful
enforcement of any rights of Landlord or obligations of Tenant hereunder,
whether or not occasioned by an Event of Default. Landlord shall pay all costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses at
both the trial and appellate levels) incurred by or on behalf of Tenant in
connection with the successful enforcement of any rights of Tenant or
obligations of Landlord hereunder, whether or not occasioned by a default of
Landlord.

     14.7 Waiver.

          (a) Failure on the part of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any
     action or non-action on the part of the other, no matter how long the same
     may continue, shall never be a waiver by Tenant or Landlord, respectively,
     of any of the other's rights hereunder. Further, no waiver at any time of
     any of the provisions hereof by Landlord or Tenant shall be construed as a
     waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and a waiver at any time of
     any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any
     subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval of Landlord
     or Tenant to or of any action by the other requiring such consent or
     approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's
     or Tenant's consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by the
     other.

          (b) No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser
     amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated otherwise
     than as a payment on account of the earliest installment of any payment due
     from Tenant under the provisions hereof.


                                       42
<PAGE>

     The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an
     endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such
     check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no
     effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other
     rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant.

     14.8 Security Deposit.

          (a) Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant
     shall provide Landlord with a Security Deposit set forth in Section 1.1,
     consisting of an irrevocable, unconditional, absolutely "clean" letter of
     credit, in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto and incorporated herein,
     in the face amount equal to the Security Deposit, running to Landlord as
     the sole beneficiary, to be held, disbursed and/or released in accordance
     with this Section 14.8 (the "Letter of Credit"). The Letter of Credit shall
     have a stated duration of and shall be effective for at least one (1) year
     with provision for automatic successive annual one-year extensions during
     the Term and for sixty (60) days after the expiration date or the earlier
     termination of the Term, except that if such earlier termination is based
     on Tenant's default, Tenant shall keep the Letter of Credit in force until
     sixty (60) days after the date when the Term would have expired had it not
     been earlier terminated. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a renewal Letter
     of Credit no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of
     any Letter of Credit issued under this Section 14.8, and if Tenant fails to
     do so, Landlord may draw the entire amount of the expiring Letter of Credit
     and hold the proceeds in cash as the Security Deposit, as hereinafter
     provided, but in that event, Tenant shall, upon demand, provide Landlord
     with a new Letter of Credit, meeting the requirements of this Lease as the
     Security Deposit, in lieu of such cash, and upon delivery of the same, the
     cost proceeds shall be immediately returned to Tenant. Each Letter of
     Credit shall be issued by Citizen's Bank, or a commercial bank provided
     such commercial bank has a credit rating with respect to certificates of
     deposit, short term deposits or commercial paper of at least P-2 (or
     equivalent) by Moodys Investor Service, Inc., or at least A-2 (or
     equivalent) by Standard & Poors Corporation. If the issuers credit rating
     is reduced below P-2 (or equivalent) by Moodys Investor Service, Inc., or
     at least A-2 (or equivalent) by Standard & Poors Corporation, or if the
     financial condition of the issuer changes in any other materially adverse
     way, then Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant obtain from
     a different issuer a substitute letter of credit that complies in all
     respects with the requirements of this Section, and Tenants failure to
     obtain such substitute letter of credit within ten (10) business days after
     Landlords written demand therefore (with no other notice or grace or cure
     period being applicable thereto) shall entitle Landlord to immediately draw
     upon the existing Letter of Credit in full, without any further notice to
     Tenant. If the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall admit in writing its
     inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, shall file a
     petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency
     act, shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or conservator of
     itself or the whole or any substantial part of its property, shall file a
     petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the United
     States Bankruptcy Code, shall have a receiver or conservator appointed or
     shall become subject to operational supervision by and Federal or State
     regulatory authority, then Tenant within thirty


                                       43
<PAGE>

     (30) days after written demand by Landlord shall obtain a replacement
     Letter of Credit from another financial institution satisfactory to
     Landlord, in its reasonable judgment.

          (b) The Security Deposit shall constitute security for payment of
     Basic Rent and Additional Rent and for any and all other obligations of
     Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant defaults with respect to any covenant or
     condition of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and grace period,
     including but not limited to the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent or
     any other payment due under this Lease, and/or the obligation of Tenant to
     maintain the Premises and deliver possession thereof back to Landlord at
     the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term in the condition
     required herein, Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit at any time
     and from time to time in such amount or amounts as may be necessary to cure
     the default(s) or to reimburse Landlord for any sum(s) which Landlord spent
     to cure the default(s), and if Landlord has terminated this Lease due to
     Tenant's default(s), Landlord may also draw upon the Letter of Credit in
     such amount (or all) as necessary to obtain any amounts from time to time
     owed to Landlord by Tenant after termination. In the case of each such
     drawing (except a drawing occurring after termination or expiration of this
     Lease), Tenant shall, on demand, cause the Letter of Credit to be
     reinstated to the full amount that was required hereunder prior to such
     drawing, or cause a similar Letter of Credit, aggregating said full amount,
     to be issued to Landlord. Any amount drawn by landlord shall not be deemed
     to fix or determine the amounts to which Landlord is entitled under this
     Lease or otherwise, and Landlord shall be entitled to pursue any remedies
     provided for in this Lease to the extent Landlord is unable or elects, in
     its sole and absolute discretion, not to obtain complete or partial
     satisfaction by drawing upon the Letter of Credit. The parties expressly
     acknowledge and agree that the Security Deposit is not an advance payment
     of Basic Rent or Additional Rent. If Tenant shall have fully complied with
     all of the covenants and conditions of this Lease, but not otherwise, the
     Letter of Credit shall be returned to Tenant (or if Landlord shall have
     drawn on the same and held the proceeds), the amount of the Security
     Deposit then held by Landlord shall be repaid to Tenant within thirty (30)
     days after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In the event
     of a sale or transfer of Landlord's estate or interest in the Building,
     Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to the purchaser or
     transferee, and Landlord shall be considered released by Tenant from all
     liability for the return of the Security Deposit from and after and to the
     extent of such transfer.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon
     completion of Tenant's Work and occupancy of the Premises, and provided
     Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and
     cure periods, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the
     Security Deposit by Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00). Provided
     that Tenant has delivered to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit in the
     amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) (the "Reduced
     Amount"), or an amendment, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to
     the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord reducing the amount
     thereof to the Reduced Amount, and provided that the foregoing conditions
     have been satisfied, Landlord shall immediately return the then-current
     Letter of Credit to Tenant.


                                       44
<PAGE>

     14.9 Landlord's Default. Landlord shall in no event be in default under
this Lease unless Landlord shall neglect or fail to perform any of its
obligations hereunder and shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days
after notice to Landlord specifying such neglect or failure, or if such failure
is of such a nature that Landlord cannot reasonably remedy the same within such
thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall fail to commence promptly (and in any
event within such thirty (30) day period) to remedy the same and to prosecute
such remedy to completion with diligence and continuity.

                                   ARTICLE 15
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     15.1 Rights of Access. Landlord, its agents, contractors and employees
shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours and upon
twenty-four (24) hours' advance notice (except in the event of an emergency,
when no notice shall be given) for the purpose of inspecting the Premises, doing
maintenance or making repairs or otherwise exercising its rights or fulfilling
its obligations under this Lease, and Landlord also shall have the right to make
access available at all reasonable hours to prospective or existing mortgagees,
purchasers or tenants of any part of the Property. Landlord shall exercise its
rights under this Article 15 at such time and in such manner so as to minimize
any unreasonable interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises
and shall comply with Tenant's reasonable security requirements.

     15.2 Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Lease, on payment of the Basic Rent and Escalation Charges and other
Additional Rent and observing, keeping and performing all of the other terms and
conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed, kept and performed,
Tenant shall lawfully, peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises during the term
hereof, without hindrance or ejection by any persons lawfully claiming under
Landlord to have title to the Premises superior to Tenant. The foregoing
covenant of quiet enjoyment is in lieu of any other covenant, express or
implied.

     15.3 Landlord's Liability.

          (a) Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's equity interest in the
     Property and the proceeds of any insurance carried by Landlord at the time
     of recovery for recovery of any judgment against Landlord, and agrees that
     neither Landlord nor any successor of Landlord shall be personally liable
     for any such judgment, or for the payment of any monetary obligation to
     Tenant. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended
     to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to
     obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or any successor of Landlord, or
     to take any action not involving the personal liability of Landlord or any
     successor of Landlord to respond in monetary damages from Landlord's assets
     other than Landlord's equity interest in the Property.

          (b) In no event shall either party ever be liable to the other for any
     loss of business or any other indirect or consequential damages suffered by
     it from whatever cause.


                                       45
<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have all of the rights and
     remedies available to it under Section 12.1 in the event that Tenant fails
     to surrender the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

          (c) Where provision is made in this Lease for Landlord's consent, and
     Tenant shall request such consent, and Landlord shall fail or refuse to
     give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any
     withholding by Landlord of its consent (except in the event that Tenant
     requests Landlord's consent to an assignment or sublease, or to Tenant's
     Work, or to any Alterations, in which case Tenant's damages shall be
     limited to $500,000.00), it being intended that Tenant's sole remedy shall
     be an action for specific performance or injunction (except in the event
     that Tenant requests Landlord's consent to an assignment or sublease, or to
     Tenant's Work, or to any Alterations, which remedy shall be as set forth
     herein), and that such remedy shall be available only in those cases where
     Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold its
     consent. Furthermore, whenever Tenant requests Landlord's consent or
     approval (whether or not provided for herein), Tenant shall pay to
     Landlord, within ten (10) days of demand, as Additional Rent, any
     reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord (including without
     limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, if any) in connection
     therewith.

          (d) Any repairs or restoration required or permitted to be made by
     Landlord under this Lease may be made during normal business hours,
     provided that such repairs and restoration are conducted in a manner so as
     to avoid unreasonable interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of the
     Premises, and Landlord shall have no liability for damages to Tenant for
     inconvenience, annoyance or interruption of business arising from such
     repairs or restoration.

     15.4 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time,
upon not less than ten (10) business days prior written notice by Landlord,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate containing
such statements of fact as Landlord reasonably requests.

     15.5 Brokerage. Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has dealt with
no broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than Broker,
and, in the event of any brokerage claims against Landlord predicated upon prior
dealings with Tenant, Tenant agrees to defend the same and indemnify Landlord
against any such claim (except any claim by Broker). Landlord warrants and
represents that Landlord has dealt with no Broker in connection with the
consummation of this Lease other than Broker, and, in the event of any brokerage
claims against Tenant predicated upon prior dealings with Landlord, Landlord
agrees to defend the same and indemnify Tenant against any such claim. Landlord
shall be responsible for compensating Broker with respect to the consummation of
this Lease.

     15.6 Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall abide by the reasonable Rules and
Regulations from time to time established by Landlord, it being agreed that such
Rules and Regulations will be established and applied by Landlord in a
non-discriminatory fashion, such


                                       46
<PAGE>

that all Rules and Regulations shall be generally applicable to other tenants of
the Building of similar nature to the Tenant named herein. Landlord agrees to
use reasonable efforts to insure that any such Rules and Regulations are
uniformly enforced, but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of
the same by any other tenant or occupant of the Building, or persons having
business with them. In the event that there shall be a conflict between such
Rules and Regulations and the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this
Lease shall control. The Rules and Regulations currently in effect are set forth
in Exhibit E.

     15.7 Invalidity of Particular Provisions. If any term or provision of this
Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any
extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the
application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than
those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected
thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     15.8 Provisions Binding, Etc. Except as herein otherwise provided, the
terms hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant (except in the case
of Tenant, only such successors and assigns as may be permitted hereunder) and,
if Tenant shall be an individual, upon and to his heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and permitted assigns. Each term and each provision
of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both a covenant
and a condition. Any reference in this Lease to successors and assigns of Tenant
shall not be construed to constitute a consent to assignment by Tenant.

     15.9 Recording. Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease, Landlord
and Tenant shall execute a notice of lease in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J. At Landlord's request, promptly upon expiration of or earlier
termination of the Term, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a release
of any document recorded in the real property records for the location of the
Property evidencing this Lease, and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord Tenant's
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute any such document if
Tenant fails to respond to Landlord's request to do so within fifteen (15) days.
The obligations of Tenant under this Section shall survive the expiration or any
earlier termination of the Term.

     15.10 Notice. All notices or other communications required hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if delivered in person (with
receipt therefore), if sent by reputable overnight delivery or courier service
(e.g., Federal Express) providing for receipted delivery, or if sent by
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the
following address:

          (a)  if to Landlord at Landlord's Address, to the attention of Ted
               Saraceno.

          (b)  if to Tenant, at Tenant's Address, to the attention of Barbara
               Burnim Day, and after the Commencement Date, at the Premises.

               Attention:  Real Estate Department

     Where receipt of notice or other communication shall be conclusively
established by either (i) return of a return receipt indicating that the notice
has been delivered; or (ii) return of the letter containing the notice with an
indication from the courier or postal service that the addressee has refused to
accept delivery of the notice. Either party may change its address for the
giving of notices by notice given in accordance with this Section.

     15.11 When Lease Becomes Binding; Entire Agreement; Modification. The
submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute
an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises, and this
document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery
hereof by both Landlord and Tenant. This Lease is the entire agreement between
Landlord and Tenant, and this Lease expressly supersedes any negotiations,
considerations, representations and understandings and proposals or other
written documents relating hereto. This Lease may be modified or altered only by
written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any
employee or agent of Landlord shall alter, change or modify any of the
provisions hereof.

     15.12 Paragraph Headings and Interpretation of Sections. The paragraph
headings throughout this instrument are for convenience and reference only, and
the words contained therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify
or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this
Lease. The provisions of this Lease shall be construed as a whole, according to
their common meaning (except where a precise legal interpretation is clearly
evidenced), and not for or against either party. Use in this Lease of the words
"including," "such as" or words of similar import, when followed by any general
term, statement or matter, shall not be construed to limit such term, statement
or matter to the specified item(s), whether or not language of non-limitation,
such as "without limitation" or "including, but not limited to," or words of
similar import, are used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to
refer to all other terms or matters that could fall within a reasonably broad
scope of such term, statement or matter.

     15.13 Dispute Resolution. In the event of a dispute between Landlord and
Tenant pursuant to this Lease (other than a dispute relating to the payment of
Basic Rent and Escalation Charges) the parties agree that prior to pursuing
other available remedies (excluding giving notices of default), they will
attempt to directly negotiate resolution of their dispute. If negotiation is
unsuccessful, then they agree to participate in at least three hours of
mediation to be facilitated by a mediator mutually acceptable to them under the
mediation procedures set by the mediator. The mediation session shall be
conducted within thirty (30) days of the date on


                                       48
<PAGE>

which the mediator receives the request to mediate. The costs of such mediation
shall be shared equally by the parties.

     15.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Landlord and Tenant hereby each waive trial by
jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the
other, on or in respect of any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way
connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant's
use or occupancy of the Premises.

     15.15 Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of
this Lease.

     15.16 Multiple Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same document.

     15.17 Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state
in which the Property is located.


                                       49
