the part of the respective parties, all of which the parties respectively agree

March 31, 2005 comparing the quarter ending March 31, 2005 to the quarter ending

            Tenant will permit Landlord and its agents at all reasonable times
during the term hereof to enter the Premises and examine the state of repair and
condition thereof, and the use being made of the same. Landlord may also enter
upon the Premises to perform any repairs or maintenance which Tenant has failed
to perform hereunder, and to show the premises to prospective purchasers,
tenants and mortgagees. Further, Landlord shall have the right to have test

            Either Landlord or Tenant may cancel any parcel of this Lease upon
thirty (30) days' written notice to the other.

      10. Insurance.

            Tenant agrees to maintain at all times public liability insurance on
an occurrence basis against all claims and demands for personal injury liability
(including, without limitation, bodily injury, sickness, disease, and death) and
damage to property which may be claimed to have occurred on the Land or in the
Building in the event of injury to any number of persons or damage to property,
arising out of any one occurrence, which shall, at the beginning of the Term, be
at least equal to $1,000,000, and to name Landlord and any mortgagees and ground
lessees designated by landlord as additional insureds and furnish landlord with
the certificates thereof; such insurance shall contain a provision that the

loss occasioned to it, its servants, agents and employees by reason of the
negligence of the Tenant; all insurance required under the terms of this Lease
shall be effected with insurers having a general policyholders rating of not
less than A in Best's latest rating guide and shall not be canceled or modified
without at least 30 days' prior written notice to each insured named therein.
Tenant shall provide landlord with certificates of all insurance required to be
carried by Tenant under the Lease at or prior to the Commencement Date and prior

      11. Landlord's Costs and Expenses.

            If Tenant shall fail to comply with any of its obligations
hereunder, Landlord may, upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to Tenant (or
without notice in case of emergency), take any such action as may be reasonably
required to cure any such default by Tenant. Tenant will pay to Landlord, on
demand, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred
by Landlord in collecting any delinquent rents, or other charges payable by
Tenant hereunder, or in connection with any litigation commenced by or against
Tenant (other than condemnation proceedings) to which Landlord, without any
fault on its part, shall be made a party. All such amounts owing to Landlord
shall constitute additional rent hereunder.

      12. Indemnification of Landlord.

            12.1. Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord (regardless
of Tenant's covenant to insure) against and from any and all claims by or on
behalf of any person or persons, firm or firms, corporation or corporations,
arising from the use, occupancy, conduct or management of the Premises and then
only for Landlord's proportionate responsibility for the

                                       3

<PAGE>

damage except to the extent done by or contributed to Landlord, any of its
agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees, and shall further
indemnify and save Landlord harmless against and from any and all claims arising
during the term hereof from any condition of the Premises, or arising from any
breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant or
agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed pursuant to the terms of this
Lease, or arising from any act of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors,
servants or employees to any person, firm or corporation occurring during the
term hereof in or about the Premises or upon or under said areas, and from and
against all costs, counsel fees, expenses or liabilities incurred in or about
any such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon.

            12.2. Tenant shall pay and indemnify Landlord against all legal
costs and charges incurred in obtaining possession of the Premises after the
default of Tenant or upon expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof,
other than by reason of any default of Landlord, or in enforcing any covenant or
agreement of Tenant herein contained.

      13. Liens.

            13.1. Tenant will not commit, suffer any act or neglect whereby the
Premises or any improvements thereon or the estate of Landlord therein shall at
any time during the term hereof become subject to any attachment, judgment,
lien, charge or encumbrance whatsoever, except as herein expressly provided, and
will indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all loss, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, with respect thereto.

            13.2. If due to any act or neglect of Tenant, any mechanic's,
laborer's or materialmen's lien shall at any time be filed against the premises
or any part hereof, Tenant, within thirty (30) days after notice of the filing
thereof shall cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, bonding or
otherwise, and if Tenant shall fail to cause the same to be discharged, then
Landlord may, in addition to any other right or remedy, cause the same to be
discharged, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the
discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings, and all amounts so
paid by Landlord, together with all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith, and together with interest thereon at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum from the respective dates of payment, shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord, on demand, as additional rent hereunder.

            13.3. Nothing in this lease contained shall be deemed or construed
in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or
implied by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer,
materialmen, architect or engineer for the performance of any labor or the
furnishing of any materials or services for or in connection with the Premises
or any part thereof. Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable
for any labor or materials or services furnished or to be furnished to Tenant
upon credit, and that no mechanic's or other lien for any such labor, materials,
or services shall attach to or affect the fee or reversionary or other estate or
interest of Landlord in the Premises of and in this Lease.

      14. Default.

            14.1. In the event that during the term hereof any of the following
events shall occur (each of which shall be an "Event of Default");

                  (a) Tenant shall default in the payment of any installment of
the Rent for ten (10) days after the same shall become due, without any
requirement of notice by the Landlord;

                                       4

<PAGE>

                  (b) Tenant or any permitted assignee of Tenant shall (i) apply

foregoing;

                  (c) An order, judgment or decree shall be entered, without the
application, approval or consent of Tenant or any permitted assignee of Tenant
by any court of competent jurisdiction, approving a petition seeking

liquidator of Tenant or such assignee or of all or a substantial part of its
assets and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect
for any period of sixty (60) consecutive days; or

                  (d) Any other default by Tenant in performing any of its other
obligations hereunder shall continue uncorrected for ten (10) days after receipt

assignee may cure the default; then Landlord may, by giving written notice to

reletting. Any and all such amounts shall be payable to Landlord upon demand.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no termination of
this Lease prior to the last day of the term hereof, except as provided in
Section 15 hereof, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations under
this Lease, and such liability and obligations shall survive any such
termination.

            14.2. In the event of any breach by Tenant of any of the covenants,
agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be
entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to
invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity, or by statute or
otherwise, as though reentry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not
provided for in this Lease.

            14.3. Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for in this Lease
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy
provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing, at law or in equity, or
by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by
Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this
Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute or
otherwise, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of
any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease, or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute or otherwise.

      15. Eminent Domain.

      If the whole or any part of the demised premises shall be condemned or
acquired by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then
the term of this Lease shall

                                       5

<PAGE>

cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title in such proceeding and
all rentals shall be paid up to the date of the vacating of the premises by
Tenant and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord nor the condemning
authority for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.

whole or partial, Tenant shall not be entitled to any part of the award paid for
such condemnation and Landlord is to receive the full amount of such award,
Tenant hereby expressly waiving any right or claim to any part thereof.

            Tenant represents that the Premises, the sidewalks and structures
adjoining the same, and any subsurface conditions thereof, and the present uses
and non-uses thereof, have been examined by Tenant, and Tenant agrees that it
will accept the same in the condition or state in which they, or any of them,
now are, without representation or warranty, express or implied in fact or by
law, by Landlord, and without recourse to Landlord as to the nature, condition
or usability thereof, or the use or uses to which the Premises, or any part
thereof, may be put.

      17. Independent Covenants - No Waiver.

             17.1. Each and every of the covenants and agreements contained in
this Lease shall be for all purposes construed to be separate and independent
covenants and the waiver of the breach of any covenant contained hereby by
Landlord shall in no way or manner discharge or relieve Tenant from Tenant's
obligation to perform each and every of the covenants contained herein.

             17.2. 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 invalid
or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of
this Lease shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted
by law.

             17.3. The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more cases
upon the strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease shall not be
construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of such covenant. A
receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof
shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by landlord of any
provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in
writing and signed by Landlord. All remedies to which landlord may resort under
the terms of this Lease or by law provided shall be cumulative.

      18. Subordination.

            This Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and
subordinate in all respects to all matters of record, including, without
limitation, deeds and all mortgages which may now or hereafter be placed on or
affect the Premises, or any part thereof, and/or Landlord's interest or estate
therein, and to each advance made and/or hereafter to be made under any such
mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof, and all substitutions.

      19. Quiet Enjoyment.

            Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon paying the rent and performing
the covenants hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed shall and may
peaceably and quietly have, hold and

                                       6

<PAGE>

enjoy the Premises and all related appurtenances, rights, privileges and
easements throughout the term hereof without any lawful hindrance by landlord
and any person claiming by, through or under it.

      20. Return of Premises.

            At the expiration or other termination of the term hereof, Tenant
will remove from the Premises its property and that of all claiming under it and
will peaceably yield up to Landlord the Premises in as good condition in all
respects as the same were at the commencement of this Lease, except for ordinary
wear and tear, damage by the elements, by any exercise of the right of eminent
domain or by public or other authority, or damage which Landlord is required
herein to replace, restore or rebuild or damage for which no insurance is
required hereunder.

      21. Holdover.

            Tenant agrees to pay to landlord twice the total of all rent then
applicable for each month or portion thereof Tenant shall retain possession of
the Premises or any part thereof after the termination of this Lease (unless and
to the extent such holding over shall be pursuant to a written agreement between
Landlord and Tenant), whether by lapse of time or otherwise, and also to pay all
damages sustained by landlord on account thereof; the provisions of this
subsection shall not operate as a waiver by Landlord of any right of re-entry
provided in this Lease or under law. Tenant shall also pay all reasonable legal
fees and damages incurred by Landlord as a result of such holdover.

      22. Limitation of Liability.

            Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach
of this Lease against any of Landlord's assets other than Landlord's interest in
the Premises, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the
satisfaction of any liability of Landlord under this Lease, it being
specifically agreed that in no event shall landlord (which term shall include,
without limitation, any of the officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees,
directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint ventures, members, stockholders or
other principals or representatives, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever be
personally liable for any such liability.

      23. No Recording of Lease.

            Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not record this
Lease or any notice or memorandum of this Lease in any land evidence records or
any other public record without the express prior written consent of Landlord.
In the event of any such recording, Tenant shall be in default of this Agreement
and Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available under law or in equity
as a result of such recordation including, without limitation, the right to
terminate this Lease.

      24. Assignment and Subletting.

            Tenant will not assign this Lease, in whole or in part, nor sublet
or permit any use of the Premises, other than for off-street parking of
automobiles, nor license, nor pledge or encumber by mortgage or other
instruments its interest in this Lease without landlord's prior written consent,
which consent may be withheld by landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.
This prohibition includes any subletting or assignment which would otherwise
occur by operation of law, merger, consolidation, reorganization, transfer or
other change of Tenant's corporate or trustee in any federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency, or other proceedings. Consent by landlord to any
assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the foregoing
prohibition with respect to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

                                       7

<PAGE>

            In the event the Premises are sublet, in whole or in part, with
Landlord's approval, any rents received by Tenant (less reasonable expenses)
shall be split equally between Tenant and Landlord. Rents due to Landlord shall
be paid to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such rents by
Tenant.

      25. Use of Hazardous Material.

            Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be
brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises by Tenant, its agents,
employees, contractors or invitees without the prior written consent of
Landlord. If Tenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding sentence,
or if contamination of the Premises by Hazardous Material otherwise occurs,
Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and
all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses
(including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises, damages for
the loss or restriction on use of rentable Premises or usable space or of any
amenity of the Premises, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of
Premises space, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees,
consultant fees and expert fees) which arise during or after the Term as a
result of such contamination. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant
includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any
investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or
restoration work required by any federal, state or local government agency or
political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the sole, surface
water or groundwater on, near or under the Premises.

            As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material" means any hazardous or
toxic substance, material or waste, including, but not limited to, those
substances, materials, and wastes listed in the United States Department of
Transportation Hazardous materials Table (49 CFR 172.101) or by the
Environmental Protection Agency as hazardous substances (40CFR part 302) and
amendments thereto, or such substances, materials and wastes that are or become
regulated under any applicable local, state or federal law.

            Landlord and its agents shall have the right, but not the duty, to
inspect the Premises at any time to determine whether Tenant is complying with
the terms of this Lease.

      26. Construction.

            The mention of the parties hereto by name or otherwise shall be
construed as including and referring to their respective successors and assigns
as well as to the parties themselves whenever such construction is required or
admitted by the provisions hereof; and all covenants, agreements, conditions,
rights, powers and privileges hereinbefore contained shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of such parties, unless
otherwise provided.

      27. Permits.

            Tenant, at its cost, shall obtain any necessary permits for the
Premises from the City of Providence.

      28. Notices.

in writing and shall be sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt
