      2.4. Annual Fixed Rent During Extended Terms.

            (a) If Tenant shall exercise its option(s) to extend the Term
pursuant to Section 2.2, the Annual Fixed Rent shall be adjusted, effective as
of the first day of each Extended Term (each an "Adjustment Date"), to equal
ninety-five (95%) of the Market Rent (as hereinafter determined and defined) as
of the applicable Adjustment Date. "Market Rent" shall be computed as of each
Adjustment Date at the fair market rental rate (per square foot of Rentable
Area) that would be agreed upon between a landlord and a tenant entering into a
new lease for "as is" space in a comparable building, taking into account and
giving effect to (i) the estimated savings to Landlord of costs and expenses
associated with leasing the Premises to Tenant rather than to a third party,
including without limitation leasing commissions and lost rent due to vacancy
periods and (ii) in determining comparability, considerations such as size,
configuration, location (i.e., suburbs of Boston, excluding Cambridge, MA and
Boston city limits), quality, age and condition of premises and lease term,
assuming the landlord and tenant are informed and well-advised and each is
acting in what it considers its own best interests. Market Rent shall include
the provision by Landlord to Tenant of a tenant improvement allowance, free rent
and/or other special concessions ("Fair Market Concessions") in amounts that
would be agreed upon between a landlord and a tenant entering into a new lease
for comparable space as to location (i.e., suburbs of Boston, excluding
Cambridge, MA and Boston city limits), configuration, size and use, in a
comparable building as to location, quality,

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

reputation and age, with a comparable build-out, and a comparable term, assuming
the landlord and tenant are informed and well-advised and each is acting in what
it considers its own best interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 2.4(a), the determination of Market Rent pursuant to Section 2.4(b)
shall exclude the value of Tenant's Property and any installations, alterations
or additions to the Premises made after the date of this Lease. In determining
the Market Rent, the net present value approach shall be utilized (with an
appropriate discount rate) to reflect the fact that Landlord will realize the
savings set forth in clause (i) above immediately upon the commencement of the
applicable Extended Term.

            (b) Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to determine
the Annual Fixed Rent (including Fair Market Concessions) for the applicable
Extension Period, for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which
Landlord receives Tenant's written notice of Tenant's election to exercise the
extension option provided for under this Section. In the event Landlord and
Tenant are unable to agree upon the Annual Fixed Rent for any Extension Period
within said thirty (30)-day period, the Market Rent for the Premises shall be
determined by two (2) licensed real estate brokers, one of whom shall be named
by the Landlord and one of whom shall be named by Tenant. Each real estate
broker so selected shall be licensed in the jurisdiction in which the Building
is located as a real estate broker specializing in the field of
laboratory/biotech leasing in the suburban Boston, Massachusetts area, having no
less than ten (10) years' experience in such field, and recognized as ethical
and reputable within the field. Landlord and Tenant agree to make their
appointments promptly within ten (10) days after the expiration of the thirty
(30)-day period, or sooner if mutually agreed upon. Each broker, within fifteen
(15) days after both brokers have been selected, shall submit his or her
determination of the Market Rent and the Fair Market Concessions. If the higher
determination of Market Rent is not more than ten percent (10%) of the lower
determination (based on net present values using an annual discount rate of five
percent (5%)), then the Market Rent shall be the average of the two (2) rental
rate and concession determinations. If the higher determination of Market Rent
is greater than 10% of the lower determination of Market Rent, then the two (2)
brokers selected by Landlord and Tenant shall promptly select a third broker
within ten (10) days after they have delivered their determinations. The third
broker shall meet all the qualifications required above for the first two (2)
brokers and shall make its determination of the Market Rent within ten (10) days
after he or she has been appointed. In such event, the Market Rent shall be the
determination of the three brokers (on a net present value basis as described
above) that is not the highest or the lowest determination, provided, that, if
any two brokers have an identical determination of Market Rent, such
determination shall be the Market Rent hereunder for the applicable Extension
Term. Subject to Section 2.4(c), Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fee of
the broker selected by it, and they shall equally share the payment of the fee
of the third broker.

            (c) If the Market Rent is determined by brokers pursuant to Section
2.4(b), Tenant shall have the right, within ten (10) days after such
determination, to revoke its notice to extend the term of this Lease, in which
event Tenant shall be obligated to pay the fees of all of the brokers engaged to
determine Market Rent, and the Term of this Lease shall expire at the end of the
then current Term. If Tenant does not revoke its notice to extend the Term of
this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then, within thirty
(30) days after the Market Rent is determined, whether by agreement of Landlord
and Tenant or by brokers, as aforesaid, the parties shall promptly execute a
supplement to this Lease confirming the same.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                      RENT

      3.1. Annual Fixed Rent. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay rent ("Annual
Fixed Rent") to Landlord at the original Address of Landlord or at such other
place or to such other person or entity as Landlord may by written notice to
Tenant from time to time direct (i) during the Amended Term in monthly
installments of Annual Fixed Rent as set forth in Article II, and (ii) during
any Extended Term in equal monthly installments of Annual Fixed Rent as
determined by the provisions of Article II. Payments of monthly installments
shall be made in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the
Term; and for any portion of a calendar month at the beginning of the Term,
prorated for such portion.

      3.2. Additional Rent. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay as Additional
Rent to Landlord an administrative management fee in the amount of Fifteen
Thousand Dollars ($15,000) per year, which amount shall be due and payable on
June 1, 2006 and on each June 1, thereafter during the Amended Term. In
addition, Tenant shall pay the amounts provided for in Section 3.3 and Section
3.4 as Additional Rent.

      3.3. Real Estate Taxes.

            (a) Each year during the Term, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a
statement of all invoices for Real Estate Taxes (hereinafter defined) payable by
Tenant pursuant to this Section 3.3, and Tenant shall pay the same to Landlord
not later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the same may be paid
without interest or penalty. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Real Estate
Taxes" shall mean: (i) all taxes, assessments (special or otherwise), levies,
fees, water and sewer rents and charges and all other governmental levies and
charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary foreseen and
unforeseen, to the extent allocable to the Term hereof, imposed with respect to
the ownership or operation of the Primary Lot or the Building; and (ii) all
charges for utilities furnished to the Premises which may become a lien on the
Building or the Primary Lot (collectively "taxes and assessments" or if singular
"tax or assessment"). "Real Estate Taxes" shall not include any income, sales,
gross receipts, value added, estate, transfer, capital gains, inheritance,
succession, gift, franchise, capital stock tax, any income taxes arising out of
or related to the ownership and operation of the Primary Lot or the Building or
any taxes relating to the Expansion Lot. Tenant shall have the right to apply to
the appropriate governmental authority or agency to have taxes and assessments
assessed directly to Tenant, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant completing
such application and documentation necessary to effect such direct assessment.
In the case of any such taxes and assessments assessed directly to Tenant,
Tenant shall cause the same to be paid on or prior to the date on which the same
may be paid without interest or penalty.

            (b) With respect to any taxes and assessments assessed directly to
Landlord, Landlord shall pay all taxes and assessments to the applicable
government authorities before or on the dates due, and shall promptly provide to
Tenant evidence of such payment.

            (c) With respect to taxes and assessments which may lawfully be paid
in installments, for the purpose of this Section 3.3, taxes and assessments in
any period shall

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

include only such portion of the same which is required to be paid within such
period and any interest payable thereon computed (whether or not such is the
case) as if Landlord had elected to pay the same over the longest period
permitted by law.

            (d) If, at any time during the Term, the present system of ad
valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole
or any part of the ad valorem tax on real property, there shall be assessed on
Landlord a capital levy or other tax on the gross rents received with respect to
the Primary Lot and Building, or both, or a federal, state, county, municipal,
or other local income, franchise, excise or similar tax, assessment, levy or
charge (distinct from any now in effect) measured by or based, in whole or in
part, upon gross rents, then any and all of such taxes, assessments, levies or
charges, to the extent so measured or based ("Substitute Taxes"), shall be
payable by Tenant without duplication; provided, however, Tenant's obligation
with respect to the aforesaid Substitute Taxes shall be limited to the amount
thereof as computed at the rates that would be payable if the Premises were the
only property of Landlord. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a copy of any notice
of any public, special or betterment assessment received by Landlord concerning
the Premises and charged to Tenant hereunder promptly upon Landlord's receipt
thereof.

            (e) If Landlord shall obtain any abatement or refund on account of
any real estate taxes as to which Tenant shall have paid payments hereunder,
then, within thirty (30) days after receiving the same, Landlord shall refund to
Tenant Tenant's portion of any such abatement or refund, after deducting
therefrom the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining
such abatement or refund.

            (f) For so long as taxes are assessed directly against Landlord, if
at least twenty (20) days prior to the last day for filing an application for
abatement of taxes or assessments for any tax year, Tenant shall give notice to
Landlord that it desires to file an application for abatement of such taxes and
assessments or to otherwise contest the assessed valuation of the Primary Lot
and Building for such tax year, and if within ten (10) days after the receipt of
such notice, Landlord does not give notice back to Tenant that Landlord shall
itself file such application or commence such contest, then Tenant shall have
the right either in its own name or in the name of Landlord but at its own cost
and expense to file such application or commence such contest. If within ten
(10) days after receipt by Landlord of such notice from Tenant, Landlord shall
give Tenant notice that Landlord shall itself file such application or commence
such contest, then Landlord shall do so prior to the expiration of the time for
the filing of the same at its own cost and expense. In any event, if any
abatement by whomever prosecuted shall be obtained, the cost and expense of
obtaining the same shall be the first charge upon such abatement and shall be
reimbursed to the party expending the same from the proceeds thereof, prior to
any other distribution. If Tenant shall file an application for abatement or
commence such contest pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph, Tenant shall
prosecute the same to final determination with reasonable diligence and shall
not, without Landlord's consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), settle,

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

compromise or discontinue the same except that Tenant may discontinue the
prosecution of the same at any time after giving Landlord notice thereof and a
reasonable opportunity to assume prosecution of the same. If Landlord shall file
an application for abatement or commence such contest, Landlord shall prosecute
the same to final determination with reasonable diligence and shall not without
Tenant's consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed), settle, compromise, or discontinue the same except that Landlord may
discontinue the prosecution of the same at any time after giving Tenant notice
thereof and a reasonable opportunity to assume prosecution of the same. If
either party shall file an application for an abatement or commence such
contest, the other will cooperate and furnish any pertinent information in its
files reasonably required by the prosecuting party. In every case, any
abatement, refund, rebate or credit received shall be paid first to the party
which prosecuted such abatement in the amount of the costs and expenses expended
by it in such connection, and the balance to each party (within thirty (30) days
after receipt) in the proportion that it paid the tax or assessment being
abated, refunded, rebated or credited. Landlord shall pay any sums due to Tenant
from any abatement within thirty (30) days after receipt of the same even if
this Lease shall have expired. Tenant shall timely pay all sums payable under
this Lease in respect of taxes and assessments notwithstanding the pendency of
an abatement proceeding or any such contest.

            (g) Real Estate Taxes assessed for a real estate tax fiscal year
which extends after the Term or earlier termination of this Lease shall be
apportioned between Landlord and Tenant at the expiration of the Term.

      3.4. Insurance. Throughout the Term, subject to Section 3.5(b), Landlord
shall obtain and maintain the insurance listed in Sections 3.4(b) and 3.4(c), at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, which shall be payable by Tenant as Additional
Rent, and Tenant shall obtain and maintain the insurance listed in Section
3.4(a) at Tenant's sole cost and expense:

            (a) Commercial general liability insurance indemnifying Landlord and
Tenant, and if Landlord shall elect, Landlord's mortgagees, against all claims
and demands for any injury to person or property which may be claimed to have
occurred on the Premises or on the sidewalk or ways immediately adjoining the
Premises (including, without limitation the main access driveway), in amounts
which shall, at the beginning of the Term, be at least equal to the limits set
forth in Section 1.1, and, from time to time during the Term, shall be for such
higher limits, if any, as are reasonably required by Landlord; provided,
however, that such increases shall not be required more than biannually, shall
not be required if comparable landlords of comparable buildings do not require
such increases, and shall not exceed those amounts then customarily carried on
properties similar to the Premises in the greater Boston area;

            (b) Direct risk of physical loss (all risk) insurance which shall in
no event be less than 100% replacement value of the Premises (in the Yield-Up
Condition), together with rental loss coverage in an amount equal to one year's
Annual Fixed Rent and estimated additional rent, insuring the Building and its
rental value with a replacement cost coverage endorsement and agreed value
endorsement, together with deductibles not to exceed $250,000; and

            (c) Insurance against loss or damage from sprinklers and from
leakage or explosions or cracking of boilers, pipes carrying steam or water, or
both, pressure vessels or similar apparatus (to the extent that any of the
foregoing are present in the Premises), in the so-called "broad form", in such
amounts and with such deductibles as Landlord may reasonably determine, and
insurance against such other hazards and in such amounts as may from time to
time be required by a bank, insurance company or other lending institution
holding a mortgage on the Building and/or the Primary Lot.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

      3.5. Certain Provisions Applicable to Insurance Policies.

            (a) Policies for insurance provided for under the provisions of
Sections 3.4(b) and 3.4(c) shall have a deductible not in excess of $250,000,
and shall, in case of loss, be first payable to the holders of any mortgages on
the fee simple interest in the Building and/or the Primary Lot under a standard
mortgagee's clause, and shall be deposited with the holder of any mortgage or
with Landlord, as Landlord may elect. Landlord, Alexandria Real Estate Equities,
Inc. (so long as it is an indirect owner of the Landlord) and, if required,
Landlord's mortgagee, shall be named as an additional insured for general
liability in all such policies issued therefor. All policies for insurance
required under the provisions of Section 3.4 shall be obtained from responsible
companies qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in
good standing therein, having a Best's Insurance Rating of at least "A minus"
and a financial size category of at least "VIII". All policies for insurance
required hereunder shall also state that any loss will be payable in accordance
with such policy, notwithstanding any act or omission of either Landlord or
Tenant. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees to furnish the other party with
copies of certificates on ACORD form 27 of all such insurance which such party
is obligated to obtain pursuant to Section 3.4 prior to the beginning of the
Term hereof and during each Extension Term. Each such policy shall be
noncancelable with respect to the interest of Tenant without at least thirty
(30) days, prior written notice thereto. In the event of a claim under any
insurance policies, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with one another and
provide the other party with copies of such insurance policies upon request.

            (b) Tenant shall pay the costs of insurance obtained by Landlord
pursuant to Section 3.4 (including general coverages, such as earthquake,
fidelity, etc typically maintained by Landlord or its affiliates for similar
properties, provided, that, at such time as the Premises is no longer owned by
an organization that, together with its affiliates, owns more than ten
properties similar to the Premises, the foregoing shall include only coverages
typically maintained by owners of properties similar to the Premises in the
greater Boston metropolitan area) as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days
after delivery of an invoice therefor by Landlord, together with reasonable
supporting documentation of such costs. In the event that Landlord obtains any
such insurance pursuant to a blanket insurance policy, Tenant shall be obligated
to pay only those insurance costs allocable to the Premises on an equitable
basis. Upon request from time to time by Tenant, Landlord shall provide
reasonable supporting documentation of how it allocates insurance costs under
its blanket insurance policy to the Premises.

      3.6. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant shall each procure an
appropriate clause in or endorsement to any property insurance covering the
Premises, the Building and personal property, fixtures and equipment located
therein, wherein the insurance companies shall waive subrogation or consent to a
waiver of right of recovery, and Landlord and Tenant agree not to make any claim
against, or seek to recover from, the other for any loss or damage to its
property or the property of others resulting from fire or other hazards to the
extent covered by such property insurance; provided, however, that the release,
discharge, exoneration and covenant not to sue contained herein shall be limited
by and coextensive with the terms and provisions of the waiver of subrogation or
waiver of right of recovery. If either party shall be unable to obtain the
inclusion of such clause even with the payment of an

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

additional premium, then such party shall attempt to name the other party as a
loss payee under the policy. If it shall not be possible to have the other party
named as a loss payee, even with the payment of an additional premium, then the
first party shall not be required to obtain such waiver of subrogation or
consent to waiver provision and such party shall so notify the first party and
the first party's agreement to name the other party as an additional insured
shall be satisfied. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry insurance
on, and shall not be responsible for, (i) Tenant's Property, and (ii) any loss
suffered by Tenant due to interruption of Tenant's business.

      3.7. Utilities. Tenant shall pay directly to the proper authorities
charged with the collection thereof all charges for water, sewer, gas,
electricity, telephone and other utilities or services used or consumed on the
Premises, whether designated as a charge, tax, assessment fee or otherwise,
including, without limitation, water and sewer use charges and taxes, if any,
all such charges to be paid as the same from time to time become due. If Tenant
is not charged directly by the respective utility for any of such utilities or
services, Tenant shall from time to time, within ten (10) days of receipt of
Landlord's reasonably documented invoice therefor, pay to Landlord such charges.
Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply of
any such utilities to the Premises; provided, however, that such failure or
interruption does not arise out of any willful act of Landlord or any of
Landlord's employees, servants, licensees, invitees, contractors, affiliates,
agents, or consultants (together, the "Landlord's Parties"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice to
Landlord if any interruption or failure in the supply of any utilities to the
Premises shall continue for more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days.
If Landlord receives any proceeds from a loss of rents insurance policy due to
the interruption or failure to provide utilities to the Premises, Landlord shall
abate the Annual Fixed Rent to the extent of the insurance proceeds received by
Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall use its best efforts to restore any
interrupted utility service affecting Tenant's use of the Premises.

      3.8. Net Lease; Nonterminability by Tenant.

            (a) The Annual Fixed Rent, the Additional Rent and all other amounts
payable hereunder to Landlord shall be paid without notice or demand and without
setoff, abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction or deduction except as
otherwise provided in this Lease or by operation of law, and Landlord shall have
no obligations in respect of the Premises or Tenant, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein.

            (b) This Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Tenant have any right
to terminate this Lease, nor shall the obligations and liabilities of Tenant set
forth herein be otherwise affected, except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Lease or by operation of law or by final decree or final judgment of any
court having jurisdiction.

                              ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

      4.1. Tenant's Affirmative Covenants. Tenant covenants at its expense at
all times during the Term and for such further time as Tenant occupies the
Premises or any part thereof:

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

            (a) Perform Obligations. To perform promptly all of the obligations
of Tenant set forth in this Lease; and to pay when due the Annual Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent and all charges, rates and other sums which by the terms of this
Lease are to be paid by Tenant.

            (b) Use. To use the Premises only for the Intended Uses, and from
time to time to procure all licenses and permits necessary therefor at Tenant's
sole expense and to provide copies thereof to Landlord.

            (c) Repair and Maintenance. To keep and maintain the Premises in
good condition and repair, including the plumbing, electrical, lighting, roof
membrane, interior mechanical systems, and all doors, door frames, and door
openers, and all windows, frames and plate glass located on and serving the
Premises, except for (a) reasonable use and wear, (b) damage resulting from
Casualty or Taking (which shall instead be governed by Article V), (c) portions
of the Premises that Landlord is obligated to repair and maintain in accordance
with Section 4.2, and (d) damage resulting from the negligent or other acts or
omissions of Landlord or Landlord's Parties ("Landlord's Negligence") (Landlord
hereby agreeing, subject to the waiver of subrogation provisions of Section 3.7
and in the case of a Casualty or Taking subject to the provisions of Article V,
to perform at Landlord's sole expense any repair or maintenance to the Premises
made necessary by Landlord's Negligence); to keep in a safe, secure and sanitary
condition all trash and rubbish temporarily stored at the Premises; to arrange
for and be responsible for all of the costs of a trash and rubbish removal
service in connection with Tenant's use of the Premises; and to make all
interior repairs and replacements (which shall not include replacements of the
Structural Components or foundation of the Building), which are required to keep
the Premises in good order, condition and repair as required hereunder, and to
do all other work necessary for the foregoing purposes whether the same may be
ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen.

            (d) Compliance with Law and Insurance Requirements. To make all
repairs, alterations, additions or replacements to the Premises required by any
law or ordinance or any order or regulation of any public authority other than
to the Structural Components and foundation of the Building; to keep the
Premises equipped with all safety appliances so required; to pay all municipal,
county, or state taxes assessed against the leasehold interest hereunder, or
against personal property of any kind on or about the Premises; not to dump,
flush, or in any way introduce any hazardous substances or any other toxic
substances into the septic, sewage or other waste disposal system serving the
Premises except in compliance with a valid sewer use permit; not to generate,
store or dispose of hazardous substances in or on the Premises or dispose of
hazardous substances from the Premises (including any discharge to the sewer
system serving the Premises) except for use, storage, generation and off-site
disposal of hazardous substances normally attendant to Building operations and
Tenant's manufacturing, research and development processes in compliance with
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
Section 6901 et seq., the Massachusetts Hazardous Waste Management Act, M.G.L.
c. 21 C, as amended, the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous Material Release
Prevention and Response Act, M.G.L. c. 2lE, as amended, and all other applicable
codes, regulations, ordinances and laws; to notify Landlord of any incident
which would require the filing of a notice under applicable law; to provide
Landlord, from time to time upon Landlord's reasonable request, a list of
hazardous substances which Tenant uses or stores on the Premises, subject to
such confidentiality, proprietary information and trade secret assurances as
Tenant

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

may reasonably impose on Landlord, and without further disclosure of such
records and information to third parties; and to comply with the orders and
regulations of all governmental authorities with respect to zoning, building,
fire, health and other codes, regulations, ordinances or laws applicable to
Tenant's specific use of the Premises, except that Tenant may defer compliance
so long as the validity of any such law, ordinance, order or regulation shall be
contested by Tenant in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings, if
Tenant first gives Landlord appropriate assurance against any loss, cost or
expense on account thereof. The term "hazardous substances" as used in this
paragraph shall mean "hazardous substances" as defined in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42
U.S.C. Section 9601 and regulations adopted pursuant to said Act.

      Landlord acknowledges that the Primary Lot and the Expansion Lot are
located adjacent to the Industri-plex Superfund site. Tenant acknowledges that
Tenant's Intended Uses will include the generation and storage of hazardous
substances on the Premises. Without limitation of any of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease in respect of the Premises or Landlord, Tenant agrees to
indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to Landlord and hold harmless
Landlord, all of Landlord's mortgagees and their respective officers, directors,
principals, agents and employees from and against all loss, cost or damage that
any of them may incur or be liable for in connection with any condition on the
Premises or arising on the Premises relating to the release or threat of release
of hazardous substances in respect of the Premises and directly attributable to
the act, omission or neglect of Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, agents,
independent contractors or invitees including, without limitation, any condition
not in conformity with the requirements of applicable law.

      Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Tenant shall provide copies to
Landlord of any notice that Tenant may receive, from or give to any governmental
authority or any other party in respect of any release or threat of release of
hazardous substances in respect of the Premises. Landlord and Landlord's
environmental consultants shall have the right from time to time, upon not less
than 24 hours' advance notice to Tenant and accompanied by a representative of
Tenant, to enter the Premises, subject to Tenant's rights and Landlord's
obligations under Section 4.6, to undertake at Landlord's sole cost an
assessment thereof to determine whether any release or threat of release of
hazardous substances has occurred, and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord
(which cooperation shall not include Tenant's expenditure of money to third
parties) in undertaking such assessment, including, without limitation,
providing copies of such reports and such other information as Landlord or its
consultant may reasonably request, but subject to such confidentiality,
proprietary information and trade secret assurances as Tenant may reasonably
impose on Landlord, and without further disclosure of such records and
information to third parties; provided, however, Tenant may elect to undertake
such assessment using its own consultants if satisfactory to Landlord and the
holders of mortgages on the Premises and said consultants shall provide to
Landlord and such holders such assessment and a reliance letter from such
consultants regarding the aforesaid without additional charges beyond those
which Landlord would have incurred if Landlord's consultant had undertaken said
assessment. Tenant shall promptly correct any such condition if (a) such
condition does not comply with the requirements of applicable law or permits or
approvals, (b) such condition was caused by the act, omission, or neglect of
Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, agents, independent contractors or
invitees, and (c) Landlord gives written notice of such condition to Tenant
(with Tenant recognizing that Landlord shall have no duty to Tenant to conduct
such assessment or to give

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

such notice to Tenant) in accordance with the Massachusetts Contingency Plan and
the requirements of any other applicable law. If such assessment discloses any
such release that exceeds reportable quantities under applicable law and was
caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any of its employees, agents,
contractors, or invitees, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all costs
and expense Landlord may incur in undertaking such assessment as Additional
Rent.

      4.2. Landlord's Repair and Maintenance Obligations. Subject to the
provisions of Article V of this Lease, Landlord covenants, at its sole expense
at all times during the Term to keep in good order, condition and repair the
structural components, structural components of the roof, exterior walls,
foundation and the parking areas and driveways located on the Premises and/or
serving the Building (collectively, "Structural Components"). Without limitation
of the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole expense, for all
capital replacements of the Structural Components and for causing such
Structural Components to be in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations during the entire Term. Landlord shall not be responsible for damage
to the Premises resulting from the negligence or other acts or omissions of
Tenant or Tenant's employees, servants, agents, contractors licensees,
affiliates, consultants or invitees ("Tenant's Negligence"), Tenant hereby
agreeing to perform at Tenant's expense any repair or maintenance to the
Premises made necessary by Tenant's Negligence; provided, however, that if such
damage to the Premises results from a Casualty (as defined in Section 5.1)
caused by Tenant's Negligence, Landlord shall repair, maintain or restore the
Premises or portion thereof in accordance with and to the extent required by
Article V.

      4.3. Tenant's Work. Tenant shall procure at Tenant's sole expense all
necessary permits and licenses before undertaking any work on the Premises; to
do all such work in a good and workmanlike manner employing materials of good
quality and so as to conform with all applicable zoning, building, fire, health
and other codes, regulations, ordinances and laws; to keep the Premises at all
times free of liens for labor and materials, and to discharge or bond over such
liens forthwith after notice thereof from Landlord; to employ for such work only
contractors approved by Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned; to require all contractors employed by Tenant
to carry worker's compensation insurance in accordance with statutory
requirements and commercial general liability insurance covering such
contractors on or about the Premises in amounts that at least equal the limits
set forth in Section 1.1; and to save Landlord harmless and indemnified from all
injury, loss, claims or damage to any person or property due to such work
(provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to indemnify and save
Landlord harmless from Landlord's negligent or intentional acts or omissions to
act) and, upon Landlord's request, to furnish to Landlord statements from all
contractors and subcontractors certifying payment in full of any obligation owed
to them in respect of work undertaken on the Premises.

      4.4. Tenant's Indemnity. Tenant hereby agrees to defend, with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), all actions against Landlord, any partner,
trustee, stockholder, officer, director, employee, beneficiary or member or
manager of Landlord, holders of mortgages secured by the Building and/or the
Primary Lot and any other party having an interest in the Premises ("Indemnified
Parties") with respect to, and to pay, protect, indemnify and save harmless, to
the extent permitted by law, all Indemnified Parties from and against, any and
all liabilities, losses,

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), causes of
action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature arising from (i)
injury to or death of any person, or damage to or loss of property, on or about
the Premises, or connected with the use, condition or occupancy thereof except
to the extent caused by the negligent or intentional act or omission to act of
Landlord, (ii) violation of this Lease by Tenant, or (iii) any wrongful act,
fault, wrongful omission, or other misconduct of Tenant or its agents,
contractors, licensees, sublessees or invitees. Nothing in this Section 4.4,
however, shall derogate from the effectiveness of insurance required to be
maintained by Tenant under this Lease naming Landlord as an insured. This
Section 4.4 is further subject to the waiver of subrogation provisions in
Section 3.7.

      4.5. Landlord's Indemnity. Landlord hereby agrees to defend, with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Tenant (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), all actions against Tenant, any partner,
trustee, stockholder, officer, director, employee, beneficiary or member or
manager of Tenant ("Tenant Indemnified Parties") with respect to, and to pay,
protect, indemnify and save harmless, to the extent permitted by law, all Tenant
Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), causes of action, suits,
claims, demands or judgments of any nature arising from (i) injury to or death
of any person, or damage to or loss of property, on or about the Premises, or
connected with the use, condition or occupancy thereof to the extent caused by
the negligent or intentional act or omission to act of Landlord, (ii) violation
of this Lease by Landlord, or (iii) any wrongful act, fault, wrongful omission,
or other misconduct of Landlord or its agents, contractors, licensees,
sublessees or invitees. Nothing in this Section 4.5, however, shall derogate
from the effectiveness of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under
this Lease naming Landlord as an insured. This Section 4.5 is further subject to
the waiver of subrogation provisions in Section 3.7. Landlord further agrees to
indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to Tenant and hold harmless Tenant and
its officers, directors, principals, agents and employees from and against all
loss, cost or damage that any of them may incur or be liable for in connection
with any condition on the Premises or arising on the Premises relating to the
release or threat of release of hazardous substances in respect of the Premises
and directly attributable to the act, omission or neglect of Landlord or any of
Landlord's employees, agents, independent contractors or invitees including,
without limitation, any condition not in conformity with the requirements of
applicable law.

      4.6. Landlord's Right to Enter. Landlord and its agents shall be permitted
to enter into the Premises at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance
notice to examine the Premises, make such repairs and replacements as Landlord
may be entitled to make under this Lease, without, however, any obligation to do
so except as provided in this Lease, to view the Premises for Tenant's
compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and show the Premises to
prospective purchasers and lenders, and, during the last twelve (12) months of
the Term or earlier if Tenant shall be in default under this Lease beyond
applicable notice, grace and cure periods, to show the Premises to prospective
tenants and to keep affixed in suitable places notices of availability of the
Premises. Landlord's exercise of its right of access to the Premises as provided
in this Lease shall be subject to the following: (a) Landlord shall not
unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business activities, (b) Landlord shall
indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from and against all loss, cost and expense
resulting from the negligent or intentional act or omission to act of Landlord
in the course of exercise of such right, (c) Landlord shall, except in the case
of an emergency, enter the Premises only when accompanied by a representative of

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

Tenant during normal business hours and upon not less than 24 hours' notice, in
order to ensure the continued confidentiality of Tenant's business materials,
and (d) Landlord shall at all times adhere to such safety, security,
confidentiality, proprietary information and trade secret rules and guidelines
as Tenant may reasonably impose.

      4.7. Personal Property at Tenant's Risk. All of the furnishings, fixtures,
equipment, effects and property of every kind, nature and description of Tenant
and of all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant which, during the
continuance of this Lease or any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or anyone
claiming under Tenant, may be on the Premises, shall, as between the parties, be
at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant and if the whole or any part thereof shall
be destroyed or damaged by fire, water or otherwise, or by the leakage or
bursting of water pipes, steam pipes, or other pipes, by theft or from any other
cause, no part of said loss or damage is to be charged to or to be borne by
Landlord, except that Landlord shall in no event be indemnified or held harmless
or exonerated from any liability to Tenant or to any other person, for any
injury, loss, damage or liability resulting from Landlord's Negligence. Tenant
shall insure Tenant's personal property.

      4.8. Payment of Cost of Enforcement. Tenant shall pay on demand Landlord's
expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in successfully
enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease continuing beyond applicable
notice, grace and cure periods or in curing any default by Tenant under this
Lease as provided in Section 6.4.

      4.9. Yield-Up.

            (a) At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall surrender all keys to the Premises and shall remove the
furnishings, fixtures and equipment set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto, as
defined below. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove
any installments, alterations or improvements made by Tenant during the Term.
Tenant shall repair all damage caused by such removal and to yield-up the
Premises in broom-clean condition and in the same good order and repair in which
Tenant is obliged to keep and maintain the Premises by the provisions of this
Lease (except for reasonable wear and tear, damage by Casualty and Taking and
damage resulting from Landlord's Negligence).

            (b) Upon surrender of the Premises in accordance with this Section
4.9, the Premises shall be free of Hazardous Materials brought upon, kept, used,
stored, handled, treated, generated in, or released or disposed of from, the
Premises by any person other than a Landlord Party (collectively, "TENANT HAZMAT
OPERATIONS") and released of all Hazardous Materials Clearances. At least three
(3) months prior to the surrender of the Premises at the end of the Term, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord a narrative description of the actions proposed to be
taken by Tenant (the "SURRENDER PLAN") in order to surrender the Premises free
of Hazardous Materials and in a manner that results in the release of all
Hazardous Materials Clearances at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term. Such Surrender Plan shall be accompanied by a current listing of (i) all
Hazardous Materials licenses and permits held by or on behalf of any Tenant
Party with respect to the Premises, and (ii) all Hazardous Materials used,
stored, handled, treated, generated, released or disposed of from the Premises,
and shall be subject to the reasonable review and approval of an environmental
consultant selected by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant to ensure
that the Surrender Plan is likely to result in the

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

surrender of the Premises free of all Hazardous Materials and in a manner that
results in the release of all Hazardous Materials Clearances. In connection with
the review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon the request of Landlord,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional
non-proprietary information concerning Tenant HazMat Operations as Landlord
shall reasonably request. On or before such surrender, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord evidence that the approved Surrender Plan shall have been completed,
and Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, to cause
Landlord's environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such
additional procedures as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the
Premises will be surrendered free of all Hazardous Materials and that all
Hazardous Materials Clearances have or will be issued as of the effective date
of such surrender or early termination of the Lease. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the actual out-of pocket expense incurred by
Landlord for Landlord's environmental consultant to review and approve the
Surrender Plan and to visit the Premises and verify satisfactory completion of
the same, which cost shall not exceed $5,000. Landlord shall have the
unrestricted right to deliver such Surrender Plan and any report by Landlord's
environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the Premises to third
parties with a need to access to the information contained in the Surrender
Plan. The term "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS" means any substances, materials or wastes
currently or in the future deemed or defined in any applicable law as "hazardous
substances", "toxic substances", "contaminants", "pollutants" or words of
similar import, but shall expressly exclude any such substances or materials
contained in the Premises and/or used in connection with the electrical, HVAC
and other systems serving the Premises (such as hydraulic oil used for the
elevators and water treatment in the boilers) to the extent the presence of such
substances or materials is required for the proper operation of the Premises and
such systems and is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

      (c) If Tenant shall fail to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by
Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if
such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to result
in the surrender of the Premises free of Hazardous Materials and in the issuance
of all Hazardous Materials Clearances, then Landlord shall have the right, from
and after the expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Lease,
and continuing through and including the date that is 180 days thereafter, to
take such actions as Landlord may deem reasonably appropriate to assure that all
Hazardous Materials are removed from the Premises and all Hazardous Materials
Clearances are issued, the reasonable costs of which actions shall be reimbursed
by Tenant as Additional Rent.

      (d) The yield-up of the Premises in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.9 shall be referred to as the "Yield-Up Condition."
Landlord and Tenant shall conduct an inspection of the Premises prior to the end
of the Term to facilitate Landlord's identification of the items to be removed
under this Section 4.9. Any property not so removed that remains on or at the
Premises shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed and disposed of by
Landlord in such manner as Landlord shall determine, provided, that, Tenant
shall have no obligation to pay Landlord any expense incurred by it is effecting
such removal and disposition and in making any incidental repairs and
replacements to the Premises and for use and occupancy during the period after
the expiration of the Term and prior to Tenant's performance of its obligations
under this Section 4.9.

      4.10. Estoppel Certificates.

            (a) Upon not less than ten (10) business days' prior notice from
Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that
except as stated therein Tenant has no knowledge of any defenses, offsets or
counterclaims against its obligations to pay the Annual Fixed Rent and to
perform its other covenants under this Lease (or, if there have been any
modifications that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating
the modifications and, if there are any defenses, offsets or counterclaims,
setting them forth in reasonable detail), the dates to which the Annual Fixed
Rent have been paid and a statement that Landlord is not in default hereunder
beyond applicable notice, grace and cure periods (or if in default beyond
applicable notice, grace and cure periods, the nature of such default, in
reasonable detail). Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 4.10
may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgage of the Premises, or
any prospective assignee of any such mortgage.

            (b) Upon not less than ten (10) business days' prior notice from
Tenant, Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant a statement in writing
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that
except as stated therein Landlord has no knowledge of any defenses, offsets or
counterclaims against its obligations to perform its covenants under this Lease,
(or, if there have been any modifications that the same is in full force and
effect as modified and stating the modifications and, if there are any defenses,
offsets or counterclaims, setting them forth in reasonable detail), the dates to
which the Annual Fixed Rent has been paid and a statement that Tenant is not in
default hereunder beyond applicable notice, grace and cure periods (or if in
default beyond applicable notice, grace and cure periods, the nature of such
default, in reasonable detail). Any such statement delivered pursuant to this
Section 4.10 may be relied upon by any prospective lender, subtenant or assignee
of Tenant.

      4.11. Park Restrictions. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall comply with the
restrictions and covenants set forth in Declaration of Protective Covenants.

      4.12. Holding Over. Tenant covenants that it will vacate the Premises
immediately upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. If Tenant
retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the termination of
the Term without Landlord's express consent, Tenant shall be treated as a tenant
at sufferance and shall pay to Landlord the following percentages of Annual
Fixed Rent payable during the last Lease Year preceding expiration or
termination of the term: 130% for the first month of such holdover, 145% for the
second and third months of such holdover and 170% thereafter. Landlord's
acceptance of such rent shall not in any manner adversely affect Landlord's
rights to evict Tenant from the Premises; provided, however, that such rent
shall constitute liquidated damages and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay
separate or additional damages incurred by Landlord. Landlord may elect to
refuse payment of holdover rent pursuant to this Section 4.12 and in such event
Landlord shall have the right to remove Tenant through summary proceedings for
holding over beyond the expiration of the Term of this Lease.

      4.13. Assignment and Subletting.

            (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant shall not
assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises without
Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. Within twenty (20) days after delivery by
Tenant of any request for Landlord's consent to a sublease or assignment,
Landlord shall deliver notice to Tenant indicating whether it consents or does
not consent to such proposed sublease or assignment. If Landlord withholds its
consent, such notice shall contain a detailed explanation of the factors
considered and conclusions arrived at by Landlord in withholding its consent. If
Landlord fails to deliver such notice to Tenant within such twenty (20) day
period, Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed assignment or
sublease. The sole factors that Landlord may consider in determining whether to
consent or not to consent to a sublease or assignment are (a) whether the
proposed subtenant or assignee has sufficient net worth and working capital to
perform the obligations under the proposed this Lease or the proposed sublease,
as the case may be and (b) whether the use and occupancy of the Premises by the
proposed subtenant or assignee would result in additional material financial
risks to Landlord. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may, from time to time,
desire to grant Tenant's lender(s) a security interest in the equipment and
furnishings that Tenant may install or maintain in the Premises and that Tenant
shall have the right to grant such security interests without the consent of
Landlord, provided that no such security interest shall encumber any fixture
that Tenant is not entitled under the terms of this Lease to remove at the
expiration of the Term. Any attempted assignment of this Lease without the prior
written approval of Landlord shall be void. No assignment approved or permitted
to be made without Landlord's consent under the next following paragraph of this
Section 4.13, and no indulgence granted by Landlord to any assignee or
sublessee, shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability (which after
an assignment shall be joint and several with the assignee) of Tenant hereunder,
and no approval in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the
obligation to obtain Landlord's approval in any other case.

            (b) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 4.13(a), Landlord agrees
that Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord's consent, to assign this
Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises, as applicable as follows:

                  (i) Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease to a
Credit Entity (hereinafter defined). As used herein, a "Credit Entity" shall
mean any person that immediately following such assignment and having given
effect thereto will have a publicly traded unsecured senior debt rating of
"Baa2" or better from Moody's Investor's Services, Inc. or a rating of "BBB" or
better from Standard & Poor's Corporation (or comparable ratings from successor
rating agencies) (or, if such Person does not then have rated debt, a
determination that by either of such rating agencies its unsecured senior debt
would be so rated by such agency);

                  (ii) Tenant shall have the right to sublease all or a portion
of the Premises to a Credit Entity; or

                  (iii) Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or
sublet all or any portion of the Premises to any corporation, person or entity
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by, or under common control
with, Tenant (an "Affiliate of Tenant") or to any

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

successor by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of
the assets of Tenant, provided that, in the case of an assignment to an
Affiliate of Tenant or to a successor by merger, consolidation or acquisition of
all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, such assignee shall have a net
worth and working capital sufficient to enable such assignee to meet Tenant's
financial obligations hereunder.

            (c) In connection with any assignment of the Lease permitted without
the consent of Landlord pursuant to Section 4.13(b), effective on the date of
the assignment, Tenant shall be released from all obligations under this Lease
arising prior to such effective date.

            (d) If Landlord's consent is required with respect to any assignment
of this Lease or any sublease of the Premises or any part thereof, and Landlord
shall grant such consent, Tenant shall, in consideration therefor, pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to one-half of:

                  (i) in the case of an assignment, one-half (1/2) of all sums
and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for, or by reason of,
such assignment to the extent such sums are in excess of the obligations assumed
by the assignee to pay Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other sums under
this Lease; and

                  (ii) in the case of a sublease, one-half (1/2) of any rents,
additional charges, or other consideration payable under the sublease by the
subtenant to Tenant that are in excess of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional
Rent accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space
(at the rate per square foot payable by Tenant hereunder) pursuant to the terms
hereof;

after deducting in both such cases all of Tenant's reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses actually and directly incurred in connection with such sublease or
assignment including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, brokerage
commissions, marketing costs, alterations to the space, rent concessions, tenant
improvements or allowance, or any rent-free period, such expenses to be
amortized over the term of the sublease (in the case of a sublease) or over the
remaining term of this Lease (in the case of an assignment where the
consideration is not paid in a lump sum on the date of such assignment).

      The sums payable under this Section 4.13(d) shall be paid to Landlord as
and when payable by the subtenant or assignee to Tenant.

      4.14. Waste; Nuisance. Tenant shall not commit any nuisance or allow or
suffer any waste to the Premises.

      4.15. Installations, Alterations or Additions.

            (a) Tenant shall not make any installations, alterations or
additions in, to or on the Premises which would have a material adverse effect
on the structural or external architectural integrity of the Premises, or the
cost of which would exceed $250,000 with respect to a single project, without
obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In all cases where plans are
prepared for any work to be done by Tenant having a cost of more than $250,000
or involving structural

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

modifications, Tenant shall furnish copies of the same to Landlord no less than
fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Tenant shall commence work in the
Premises and in all such cases, Tenant shall provide to Landlord as-built plans
in respect of such work promptly after Tenant completes the same.

            (b) Installations, alterations or improvements performed by Tenant
in or at the Building shall not require Landlord's prior consent if such
installations, alterations or improvements would not have a material adverse
effect on the structural or architectural integrity of the Premises. Landlord
shall not have the right to require Tenant to remove at the end of the Term
Tenant's Property or any installations, alterations or additions made during the
Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.15 shall require
Tenant to obtain Landlord's consent to the installation, removal or substitution
of Tenant's Property (hereinafter defined) in connection with the operation of
Tenant's business so long as such installation, removal or substitution does not
adversely affect in any material respect any structural component of the
Building. "Tenant's Property" shall mean all of the following located in or used
by Tenant in connection with the Premises (which shall be the sole property of
Tenant): all personal property of any type whatsoever, all trade fixtures,
machinery, office equipment, manufacturing equipment and used in connection with
Tenant's business, production equipment, laboratory equipment, office equipment,
furniture, together with all additions thereto, substitutions therefor and
replacements thereof.

            (c) The following procedures shall apply with respect to any
installations, alterations or additions in, to or on the Premises that require
Landlord's prior consent pursuant to Section 4.15(a): Tenant shall submit to
Landlord for review and comment construction plans, specifications and drawings
for the Proposed Alterations ("Construction Drawings"). Landlord shall deliver
its written comments on the Construction Drawings to Tenant not later than ten
(10) business days after Landlord's receipt of the same. If Landlord does not
respond within ten (10) business days to any request by Tenant for consent to
the Construction Drawings, then Landlord's consent shall be deemed given. Such
process shall continue until the Construction Drawings are approved or deemed
approved by Landlord. Any disputes in connection with such comments shall be
resolved in accordance with Section 4.15(d) hereof.

            (d) In the event of any dispute regarding the design of the Proposed
Alterations, which is not settled within ten (10) business days after notice of
such dispute is delivered by one party to the other, Tenant shall make the final
decision regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements, provided (i) Tenant
acts reasonably and such final decision is either consistent with or a
compromise between Landlord's and Tenant's positions with respect to such
dispute, and (ii) such dispute does not involve a proposed modification or
alteration of the exterior shell of the Building.

            (e) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that disputes over Proposed
Alterations that are not resolved pursuant to Section 4.15(c), (each, an
"ARBITRATION MATTER") which cannot be resolved between Landlord and Tenant will
be submitted to binding arbitration. If either party delivers to the other a
demand for arbitration of an Arbitration Matter, then Landlord and Tenant shall
meet (which meeting may take place by telephone conference) within three (3)
business days after delivery of the demand for arbitration and make a good faith
attempt to mutually appoint a single Arbitrator (as defined below) to determine
the Arbitration Matter. If Landlord

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Arbitrator, then each shall, by
written notice delivered to the other within five (5) business days after the
meeting, select an Arbitrator. If either party fails to timely give notice of
its selection for an Arbitrator, the other party's Arbitrator shall be the sole
Arbitrator. If each party selects an Arbitrator, then the two Arbitrators so
appointed shall, within five (5) business days after their appointment, appoint
a third Arbitrator, who shall be the sole Arbitrator. If the two Arbitrators so
selected cannot agree on the selection of the third Arbitrator within the time
above specified, then either party, on behalf of both parties, may request such
appointment of such third Arbitrator by application to any state court of
general jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located, upon
5 business days prior written notice to the other party of such intent. The
Arbitrator shall hold an arbitration proceeding, to be attended by Landlord and
Tenant, within ten (10) business days of the Arbitrator's appointment. The
decision of the Arbitrator shall be made within two (2) days after the
arbitration proceeding. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the
Arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of such party. The fees and expenses of any
single Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator shall be borne equally by both
parties. The parties hereby waive any right to appeal the decision of the
Arbitrator. An "ARBITRATOR" for purposes of this Section only shall be any
person appointed by or on behalf of either party pursuant to the provisions
hereof and shall be a retired judge of the Superior Court or Land Court of
Middlesex County, Massachusetts or an individual otherwise mutually agreed to by
Landlord and Tenant.

            (f) Landlord shall not charge any fees for such approvals or in
connection with the construction of any such alterations.

      4.16. Signage. Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of
Landlord, to display Tenant identification signage on the exterior and interior
of the Building, in the parking areas serving the Building and on the Primary
Lot. The size, design and placement of said signage shall be in compliance with
applicable laws. Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any signage upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

      4.17. Parking. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use and occupy the
parking areas located on the Land.

      4.18. Landlord's Additional Covenants. Except for mortgages granted with
respect to the Premises to secure a financing, Landlord shall not encumber the
Premises or permit any other person to use or occupy the Premises without the
prior consent of Tenant. Without the prior written consent of Tenant, Landlord
shall not construct any installations, alterations or additions on, to or under
the Premises, except to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under
this Lease.

                                    ARTICLE V
                               CASUALTY OR TAKING

      5.1. Casualty.

            (a) If, at any time during the Term, the Building or the Premises
are damaged or destroyed by a fire or other insured casualty, Landlord shall
notify Tenant within 30 days after discovery of such damage (a "Restoration
Notice") as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

estimates it will take to restore the Premises, as applicable (the "Restoration
Period"). If the Restoration Period is estimated to exceed fifteen (15) months
(the "Maximum Restoration Period"), Landlord may, in such notice, elect to
terminate this Lease as of the date that is seventy-five (75) days after the
date of discovery of such damage or destruction; provided, however, that
notwithstanding Landlord's election to restore, Tenant may elect to terminate
this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within forty-five (45) days
of receipt of a notice from Landlord estimating a Restoration Period for the
Premises longer than the Maximum Restoration Period. Unless either Landlord or
Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 5.1, Landlord
shall promptly restore the Premises (including all tenant improvements that were
part of the Premises as of the date of this Lease), as needed to obtain any
license, clearance or other authorization of any kind required to enter into and
restore the Premises issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release, disposal,
removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined) in, on or
about the Premises (collectively referred to herein as "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
CLEARANCES"); provided, however, that if repair or restoration of the Premises
is not substantially complete as of the end of the Maximum Restoration Period,
Landlord shall cease all work, and Tenant may by written notice to Landlord
delivered within five (5) business days of the expiration of Maximum Restoration
Period, elect to terminate this Lease. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease,
Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make repairs or restoration, and
this Lease shall terminate as of the date of discovery of such damage or
destruction. Landlord shall retain any Rent paid and the right to any Rent
payable by Tenant and applicable to the date of termination. If Tenant does not
timely elect to terminate, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and
Landlord shall complete all repairs and restoration as soon as reasonably
practicable.

            (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
5.1(a), (i) if there is Material Damage (as hereinafter defined) and the date
set forth in the Restoration Notice is more than twelve (12) months from the
date of such damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
giving notice to Landlord (a "TENANT TERMINATION NOTICE"), not later than thirty
(30) days following Tenant's receipt of the Restoration Notice. If this Lease is
terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or by Tenant pursuant to this
Section 5.1(b), (a) the Term shall expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day after
notice of termination is given or on such later date as Tenant reasonably
requires so long as Tenant is continuously and diligently using good faith
commercially reasonable efforts to relocate, (b) Tenant's liability for Rent
shall cease proportionately as of the date Tenant vacates the Premises, and (c)
any prepaid Rent for any period after the date Tenant's liability for Rent has
ceased shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.

            (c) For purposes of this Article V, the term "MATERIAL DAMAGE" shall
mean either (i) fifteen percent (15%) or more of the rentable area of the
Premises is damaged and thereby rendered untenantable or not reasonably usable
by Tenant for its then current Permitted Use, or (ii) a portion of the Premises
is damaged and as a result thereof, Tenant is denied reasonable use or access to
a material portion of the Premises.

            (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V,
either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged
during the last 18 months of the Term and a third party architect or engineer
reasonably acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

determines that it will take more than five (5) months to repair or restore such
damage, or if insurance proceeds are not available for such repair or
restoration. Rent shall be abated from the date of discovery of such damage or
destruction until the Premises are repaired and restored, in the proportion
which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to
the total area of the Premises, unless Landlord provides Tenant with other space
during the period of repair that is suitable for the temporary conduct of
Tenant's business. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except
as provided in this Section 5.1, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease
by reason of damage or casualty loss.

            (e) The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 5.1,
constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any
and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, and any
statute or regulation which is now or may hereafter be in effect shall have no
application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the
Premises, the parties hereto expressly agreeing that this Section 5.1 sets forth
their entire understanding and agreement with respect to such matters.

      5.2. Taking.

            (a) If during the Term the entire Premises shall be taken or
condemned by any public authority or for any public use or destroyed by the
action of any public authority (including by sale under threat of such a taking)
(a "Taking"), then this Lease shall terminate on the date on which title vests
in such public authority, and the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be
abated on and as of such date, and the parties' obligations hereunder shall
cease. If only a part of the Premises shall be subject to a Taking, then, except
as hereinafter provided in this Article, this Lease and the Term shall continue
in full force and effect, provided that from and after the date of the vesting
of title, the Annual Fixed Rent shall be modified to reflect the reduction of
the Premises and/or the Building as a result of such Taking.

            (b) If there is a Taking of more than fifty percent (50%) of the
Building, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given
within thirty (30) days after the effective time of such Taking, and this Lease
shall terminate effective as of the date set forth in Landlord's notice which
shall in no event be earlier than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice.

            (c) If (i) the part of the Premises subject to a Taking contains
more than ten percent (10%) of the total area of the Building or a material
portion of the parking area located on the Land, (and, with respect to the
parking areas, Landlord is unable to provide Tenant with replacement parking
reasonably acceptable to Tenant), immediately prior to such acquisition or
condemnation, or (ii) if, by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant
no longer has reasonable means of access to ten percent (10%) or more of the
area of the Building, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to
Landlord, and this Lease shall end and expire on the effective time of the
Taking.

            (d) Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 5.2, Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as
of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and including, the date of such
termination.

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

            (e) Upon any acquisition or condemnation of all or any part of the
Premises, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any such acquisition or
condemnation, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning
authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term. Nothing contained
in this Article V shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim
in any condemnation proceedings for Tenant's Property, alterations installed by
Tenant or improvements, the then value of any Tenant's fixtures or personal
property and for any moving expenses.

      5.3. Restoration. If neither Tenant nor Landlord exercises its election to
terminate provided in Section 5.1 or 5.2, as may be applicable, then this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect and a just proportion of the Annual
Fixed Rent and other charges hereunder, according to the nature and extent of
the damages sustained, shall be abated from the date of Casualty or Taking until
Landlord shall have substantially completed the restoration of the Premises, as
provided under this Article V. Landlord shall complete such restoration with as
soon as practicable diligence at Landlord's expense, and the Premises shall be
put by Landlord in a condition as nearly as practicable to their condition
immediately prior to such Casualty or Taking, subject to zoning and building
laws or ordinances then in existence.

      5.4. Award. Irrespective of the form in which recovery may be had, all
rights to damages for all such Takings, subject to the allocation provisions
sets forth below, shall belong to Landlord in all cases; provided, however, that
Tenant shall have the right to pursue any separate claim to which it is entitled
for Tenant's Property and Tenant's trade fixtures and moving and relocation
expenses. Landlord and Tenant agree that the net proceeds of the damages treated
as belonging to Landlord under this Section 5.4 (except to the extent utilized
for restoration) shall be allocated as follows: first, to Landlord in the amount
equal to the then fair market value of the Premises in the Yield-Up Condition;
second, to Tenant in the amount of the then unamortized (determined on a
straight-line basis over the Amended Term of this Lease) cost of Tenant's
Property (exclusive of Tenant's Property not encompassed within such Taking)
(except to the extent the same are treated as trade fixtures and a separate
award is made on account thereof to Tenant); third, to Tenant in the amount of
the then fair market value of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises; and
fourth, to Landlord in the amount of the balance of the net proceeds. The
procedures for the determination of Market Rent under Section 2.4 of this Lease
shall be applicable to the determination of the fair market value of the
Premises.

      In the case of a Taking which permanently reduces the Premises, the Annual
Fixed Rent and other charges due hereunder shall be equitably abated or adjusted
for the balance of the Term.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                    DEFAULTS

      6.1. Events of Default. (a) If Tenant shall default in the performance of
any of its obligations to pay the Annual Fixed Rent and if such default shall
continue for ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord designating such
default (provided that Landlord shall not be required to give any such notice
more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)-month period), or (b) if Tenant shall
default in the performance of any of its obligations to pay Additional Rent

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

hereunder and if such default shall continue for ten (10) days after written
notice from Landlord designating such default, or (c) if within thirty (30) days
after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying any other default or
defaults Tenant has not commenced diligently to correct the default or defaults
so specified or does not thereafter diligently prosecute such correction to
completion within a reasonable period of time under the circumstances, or (d) if
any assignment for the benefit of creditors shall be made by Tenant without
Landlord's consent, or (e) if Tenant's leasehold interest shall be taken on
execution or other process of law in any action against Tenant, or (f) if a lien
or other involuntary encumbrance is filed against Tenant's leasehold interest
and is not discharged or bonded within forty-five (45) days thereafter, or (g)
if a petition is filed by Tenant for liquidation or for reorganization or an
arrangement or any other relief under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code as
then in force and affect, or (h) if an involuntary petition under any of the
provisions of said Bankruptcy Code is filed against Tenant and such involuntary
petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter, then, and in any of
such cases, Landlord and the agents and servants of Landlord lawfully may, in
addition to and not in derogation of any remedies for any preceding breach of
covenant, immediately or at any time thereafter and without demand or notice and
with or without process of law (forcibly, if necessary, to the extent permitted
by law) enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the
whole, or mail a notice of termination addressed to Tenant, and repossess the
same as of Landlord's former estate and expel Tenant and those claiming through
or under Tenant and remove its and their effects (forcibly, if necessary, to the
extent permitted by law) without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass
and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears
of rent or prior breach of covenant, and upon such entry or mailing as aforesaid
this Lease shall terminate and Landlord, without notice to Tenant, may store
Tenant's effects and those of any person claiming through or under Tenant at the
expense and risk of Tenant and, if Landlord so elects, may sell such effects at
public auction or private sale and apply the net proceeds to the payment of all
sums due to Landlord from Tenant, if any, and pay over the balance, if any, to
Tenant.

      6.2. Remedies.

      In the event that this Lease is terminated under any of the circumstances
contained in Section 6.1, Tenant covenants to pay forthwith to Landlord, as
compensation, the excess of the total rent reserved for the residue of the Term
over the fair market rental value of the Premises for the residue of the Term,
which shall be calculated on a net present value basis using a discount rate
equal to THE LOWER OF (I) TENANT'S INCREMENTAL BORROWING RATE ON THE EFFECTIVE
DATE OF THE LEASE (5.06%), OR (II) TENANT'S INCREMENTAL BORROWING RATE AT THE
TIME OF DEFAULT ("TENANT'S INCREMENTAL RATE"); PROVIDED THAT TENANT'S CHIEF
FINANCIAL OFFICER SHALL PROVIDE SUCH RATE TO LANDLORD WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS
OF REQUEST THEREFOR.

In calculating the rent reserved there shall be included, in addition to the
Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, the value of all other considerations
agreed to be paid or performed by Tenant during the residue. Tenant further
covenants as additional and cumulative obligation after any such termination to
pay punctually to Landlord all the sums and to perform all the obligations which
Tenant covenants in this Lease to pay and to perform in the same manner and to
the same extent and at the same time as if this Lease had not been terminated.
In calculating the amounts to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the preceding
sentence, Tenant shall be credited with any amount paid to Landlord as
compensation as provided in this Section 6.2, and also with the net proceeds of
any rent obtained by Landlord by reletting the Premises, after deducting all

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such reletting; including,
without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, fees for
legal services and expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting, it
being agreed that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to (i) relet the
Premises or any part or parts thereof 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, which may include granting
such concessions and free rent as Landlord in its reasonable judgment considers
advisable or necessary to relet the same and (ii) make such alterations, repairs
and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its reasonable judgment considers
advisable or necessary to relet the same, and no action of Landlord in
accordance with the foregoing or failure to relet or to collect rent under
reletting shall operate or be construed to release or reduce Tenant's liability
as aforesaid.

      Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, limit or prejudice the
right of Landlord to prove and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or
insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the
maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and
governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not
the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or
damages referred to above.

      6.3. Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
any and all rights and remedies which either party may have under this Lease,
and at law and equity, shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent
with one another, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be
exercised at the same time insofar as permitted by law.

      6.4. Landlord's Rights to Cure Defaults. Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated to, cure, at any time following notice to Tenant and expiration of all
applicable cure, notice and grace periods (except in cases of emergency, in
which case only such notice, if any, as may be reasonable under the
circumstances need be given), any default by Tenant under this Lease; and
whenever Landlord so elects, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Landlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in curing a default shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent on demand, together with interest
thereon at the Delinquency Rate (as defined in Section 6.7) from the date of
payment by Landlord to the date of payment by Tenant.

      6.5. Effect of Waivers of Default. Any consent or permission by either
party to any act or omission which otherwise would be a breach of any covenant
or condition herein, or any waiver by either party of the breach of any covenant
or condition herein, shall not in any way be held or construed (unless expressly
so declared) to operate so as to impair the continuing obligation of any
covenant or condition herein, or otherwise, except as to the specific instance,
operate to permit similar acts or omissions.

      The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist
upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease shall
not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which
would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and
effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge
of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to have been a
waiver of such breach by Landlord. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by
either party to

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or
consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty.

      6.6. No Accord and Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum
than the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge then due shall
be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent
or charge due, unless Landlord elects by notice to Tenant to credit such sum
against the most recent installment due, nor shall any endorsement or statement
on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other
charge be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check
or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such
installment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.

      6.7. Interest on Overdue Sums. If Tenant fails to pay any installment of
Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable by Tenant to
Landlord within ten (10) business days after the due date thereof (without
regard to any requirement of notice from Landlord or any period of grace allowed
to Tenant under this Lease before Landlord is allowed to exercise any remedy on
account thereof), the amount so unpaid shall bear interest at an annual rate
(the "Delinquency Rate") equal to 400 basis points above the Prime Rate, if such
rate is in excess of any maximum interest rate permissible under applicable law,
the Delinquency Rate shall be the maximum interest rate permissible under
applicable law, commencing with the due date and continuing through the day
preceding the date on which payment of such delinquent payment with interest
thereon is paid. Similarly, if Landlord fails to pay any amount payable to
Tenant by Landlord within ten (10) business days after the due date thereof, the
amount so unpaid shall bear interest at the Delinquency Rate, commencing with
the due date and continuing through the date preceding the date on which payment
of such delinquent payment with interest thereon is paid.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                    MORTGAGES

      7.1. Rights of Mortgage Holders. The word "mortgage" as used herein
includes mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar instruments evidencing other
voluntary liens or encumbrances, and modifications, consolidations, extensions,
renewals, replacements and substitutes thereof. The word "holder" shall mean a
mortgagee, and any subsequent holder or holders of a mortgage.

      In the event of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant
the right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction,
Tenant shall not exercise any such right (a) until it shall have given notice,
by certified or registered mail, of such act or omission to the holder of any
mortgage encumbering the Premises whose name and address shall have been
furnished to Tenant in writing, at the last address so furnished, and (b) unless
Landlord or such holder shall have failed to commence to remedy such act or
omission within thirty (30) days after such notice or thereafter diligently to
prosecute such remedy to completion.

      In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the
event of exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage now or hereafter
encumbering the Premises, or any part

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

thereof, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon such foreclosure or sale or
upon any grant of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and recognize such purchaser as
Landlord under this Lease if so requested by such purchaser, so long as such
purchaser recognizes all of Tenant's rights under this Lease.

      7.2. Superiority of Lease: Option to Subordinate. Unless Landlord
exercises the option set forth below in this Section 7.2, this Lease shall be
superior to and shall not be subordinate to any mortgage on the Premises.
Landlord shall have the option to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage of the
Premises provided that the holder of record thereof enters into a subordination
and non-disturbance agreement with Tenant, in form reasonably acceptable to
Tenant (the "SNDA"), by the terms of which such holder will agree (a) to
recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease and not to disturb Tenant's
possession of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in default of its
obligations hereunder beyond applicable notice, grace and cure periods, (b) to
cure any repair or maintenance default which shall be continuing upon
acquisition of the Premises by such holder, (c) to perform Landlord's
obligations hereunder arising on and after the date of such holder's acquisition
of title and (d) to accept Tenant as tenant of the Premises under the terms and
conditions of this Lease in the event of acquisition of title by such holder
through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, and Tenant will agree to recognize
the holder of such mortgage as Landlord in such event, and which agreement shall
be made expressly to bind and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns
of Tenant and of the holder and upon anyone purchasing said Premises at any
foreclosure sale. Tenant and Landlord agree to execute and deliver any
appropriate and mutually acceptable instruments necessary to carry out the
agreements contained in this Section 7.2. Any such mortgage to which this Lease
shall be subordinated may contain such terms, provisions and conditions as the
holder deems usual or customary; subject to the provisions of the SNDA.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      8.1. Notices from One Party to the Other. All notices and other
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and
addressed, if to Tenant, at the Original Address of Tenant or such other address
as Tenant shall have last designated by notice in writing to Landlord and, if to
Landlord, at the Original Address of Landlord or such other address as Landlord
shall have last designated by notice in writing to Tenant. Any notice shall be
given by mailing to such address postage prepaid, registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested or by delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight
delivery service which provides delivery receipts, or delivered to such address
by hand. Any notice shall be effective upon receipt or tender of delivery.

      8.2. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord agrees that upon Tenant's paying the rent
and performing and observing the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions on
its part to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably and
quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Term without any manner of
hindrance or molestation from Landlord or anyone claiming under Landlord,
subject, however, to Landlord's remedies under this Lease in the event of a
default by Tenant hereunder.

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

      8.3. Recordation of Lease. Tenant shall, at its sole cost, have the right
to record this Lease in the land records of the jurisdiction in which the
Building is located. Both parties shall, upon the request of either, execute,
deliver and record a Notice of Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D,
with such modifications as may be permitted by applicable statute, or otherwise
agreed to by the parties. If this Lease is terminated before the originally
scheduled expiration of the Term, the parties shall execute, deliver and record
an instrument acknowledging such fact and the actual date of termination of this
Lease, and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, with full power of substitution to execute such instrument.

      8.4. Bind and Inure: Limitation of Landlord's Liability. The obligations
of this Lease shall run with the land, and this Lease shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. No owner of the Premises shall be liable under this Lease except for
breaches of Landlord's obligations occurring while owner of the Premises,
provided, however, that (a) any successor Landlord shall be obligated to cure
any repair or maintenance default of a prior Landlord which shall be continuing
upon acquisition of the Premises by such successor Landlord and (b) any
successor Landlord (other than a mortgagee or a person acquiring title on
foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure) shall be obligated to cure any
payment default of a prior Landlord which shall be continuing upon acquisition
of the Premises by such successor Landlord. The obligations of Landlord shall be
binding upon the assets of Landlord which comprise the Premises, any portion
thereof, and any rents, proceeds, insurance proceeds and condemnation awards
arising therefrom. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any
indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of a breach by Landlord
of its obligations hereunder. No individual partner, trustee, stockholder,
officer, director, employee, beneficiary, member or manager of Landlord shall be
personally liable under this Lease and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's
interest in the Premises (including any rents and profits) therefrom arising
after enforcement is sought, or arising prior to enforcement (to the extent the
latter have not been distributed or used by Landlord) in pursuit of its remedies
upon an Event of Default under Section 6.1, and the assets of Landlord and its
partners, trustees, stockholders, officers, employees, beneficiaries, members or
managers shall not be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure
for the satisfaction of the remedies of Tenant; provided that the foregoing
provisions of this sentence shall not constitute a waiver of any obligation
evidenced by this Lease and provided further that the foregoing provisions of
this sentence shall not limit the right of Tenant to name Landlord or any
partner or trustee thereof as party defendant in any action or suit in
connection with this Lease so long as no personal money judgment shall be asked
for or taken against any partner, trustee, stockholder, officer, employee
beneficiary, member or manager of Landlord.

      8.5. Acts of God. In any case where either party hereto is required to do
any act, then, except where specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary,
delays caused by or resulting from acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire,
flood or other casualty, government regulations, moratoria, unusually severe
weather, or other causes beyond such party's reasonable control which are
unrelated to labor difficulties and shortages of labor, materials or equipment
shall not be counted in determining the time during which such act shall be
completed, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or a
"reasonable time", and such time shall be deemed to be extended by the period of
such delay.

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

      8.6. Landlord's Default; Tenant's Right of Self-Help. Landlord shall not
be deemed to be in default in the performance of any of its obligations
hereunder unless it shall fail to perform such obligations and unless within
thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying such default
Landlord has not commenced diligently to correct the default so specified or has
not thereafter diligently pursued such correction to completion. Except only as
specifically otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall have no right, for
any default by Landlord, to offset or counterclaim against any rent due
hereunder.

      If, by reason of any failure which is not due to any act or omission of
Tenant or any employee, agent, contractor, licensee, or invitee of Tenant,
Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises materially is impaired by reason of
Landlord's failure to comply with its obligations under this Lease, then Tenant
may give Landlord and all holders of mortgages on the Premises written notice
thereof, and if Landlord or any said holder (if such holder shall elect to do
so) shall fail to begin correction of such condition by a date which is ten (10)
days after Landlord's receipt of such notice, Tenant shall have the right, but
shall not be required, to perform such repair or restoration work as is
reasonably necessary to cure the condition. In the event of the proper exercise
of such right of self-help by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this
paragraph, Landlord agrees to pay Tenant, within thirty (30) days of billing,
the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in curing such condition or, in the
event Landlord fails to so reimburse Tenant within such thirty-day period,
Tenant shall have the right to offset said amounts against Tenant's Annual Fixed
Rent obligations next-coming due hereunder.

      Landlord shall pay on demand Tenant's expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by Tenant in successfully enforcing any obligation of
Landlord under this Lease.

      8.7. Brokerage. Each of Tenant and Landlord warrants and represents to the
other that it has had no dealings with any broker or agent in connection with
this Lease other than the Broker(s) named in Article I and covenants to defend
with counsel approved by the other, hold harmless and indemnify the other from
and against any and all cost, expense or liability for any compensation,
commissions and charges claimed by any broker or agent other than the Broker(s)
named in Article I with respect to its dealings in connection with this Lease or
the negotiation thereof. The brokerage commission of Broker shall be paid by
Tenant pursuant to a separate agreement.

      8.8. Applicable Law and Construction. This Lease shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If
any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease or the application
thereof to any person or circumstances shall be declared invalid or
unenforceable by the final ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction having
final review, the remaining terms, covenants conditions and provisions of this
Lease and their application thereof to persons or circumstances shall not be
affected thereby and shall continue to be enforced and recognized as valid
agreements of the parties, and in the place of such invalid or unenforceable
provision, there shall be substituted a like, but valid and enforceable,
provision which comports to the findings of the aforesaid court and most nearly
accomplishes the original intention of the parties. There are no prior oral or
written agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting this Lease. This Lease
may be amended, and the provisions hereof may be waived or modified, only by
instruments in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant. The titles of the
several Articles and Sections contained herein are for

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

convenience only and shall not be considered in construing this Lease. Unless
repugnant to the context, the words "Landlord" and "Tenant" appearing in this
Lease shall be construed to mean those named above and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and those holding title or
claiming through or under them respectively. If there be more than one tenant
the obligations imposed by this Lease upon Tenant shall be joint and several.
Time is of the essence with respect to all terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

      8.9. Submission Not an Offer. The submission of a draft of this Lease or a
summary of some or all of its provisions does not constitute an offer to lease
or demise the Premises, it being understood and agreed that neither Landlord nor
Tenant shall be legally bound with respect to the leasing of the Premises unless
and until this Lease has been executed by both Landlord and Tenant and a fully
executed copy delivered.

      8.10. Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a security
deposit in the total amount of Five Hundred and Sixty-six Thousand, Eight
Hundred and Sixty-five and no/100 Dollars ($566, 865.00) in cash ("SECURITY
DEPOSIT"). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the
faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of
this Lease applicable to Tenant. If, after notice and beyond the expiration of
any applicable grace period (or, if Landlord is prevented from giving notice by
the automatic stay of a Bankruptcy court or by any other legal prohibition,
without notice) Tenant fails to make the payment of rent or other money due
hereunder, timely perform or observe any obligation of Tenant under this Lease,
Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part
of the Security Deposit for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend
by reason of Tenant's default, or for compensation to Landlord for any loss or
damage which Landlord may suffer or be entitled to by reason of Tenant's failure
to timely perform or observe any obligation of Tenant under this Lease. If any
portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten
(10) days after written demand therefor, deposit with Landlord an amount
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant
fully and faithfully performs every provision of this Lease to be performed by
it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned (without
interest) to Tenant at Lease expiration or termination and after Tenant has
vacated the Premises. Landlord shall not be required to keep the cash Security
Deposit separate from Landlord's general funds or be deemed to be a trustee of
same.

      8.11. Parties Responsible for Costs of Own Obligations. Except where
specifically provided herein to the contrary, each party shall bear all costs
and expenses of performing its obligations under this Lease.

      8.12. Limitation on Damages. In no event shall Tenant be liable for any
indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising from a breach of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease.

      8.13. Amended and Restated Lease. This Amended and Restated Lease amends,
restates and supercedes the Original Lease in its entirety.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                    FIRST OPPORTUNITY; RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

      9.1. Tenant's Right of First Opportunity to Purchase. Landlord will not
during the Term of this Lease (the "First Opportunity Period") sell the Premises
or any portion thereof to a third party without first complying with the
following (the "First Opportunity Rights"):

            (a) Landlord will not sell the Premises to a third party unless it
first gives Tenant written notice of its intention to sell or attempt to sell
the Premises and setting forth in detail terms and conditions upon which it
would be willing to sell (a "Sale Offer") the Premises to Tenant; and

            (b) Tenant will have thirty (30) days after receipt of a Sale Offer
(the "Offer Period") within which to accept any such Sale Offer. Failure of
Tenant to accept any such Sale Offer within such Offer Period shall constitute
and be deemed a rejection of such Sale Offer. If Tenant accepts such Sale Offer
within such Offer Period, each of Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver
to the other the Purchase Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E ("Purchase Agreement") within thirty (30) days after Tenant accepts
such Sale Offer. If Tenant does not accept such Sale Offer within the Offer
Period, or, if after accepting any such Sale Offer within the Offer Period,
Tenant fails to execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement within thirty (30)
days after Tenant accepts such Sale Offer, then Landlord shall be free, for a
period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Offer
Period, to sell the Premises (i) at a price which is not less than ninety-five
percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to Tenant in the Sale Offer or (ii)
on other terms and conditions materially more beneficial to buyer than those
offered to Tenant in the Sale Offer, without re-offering the Premises to Tenant
at such reduced price and/or better terms, as applicable, by written notice (the
"Reduced Offer"), whereupon Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to accept the
Reduced Offer. If Tenant shall fail within such thirty (30) day period to accept
the Reduced Offer or if Tenant shall accept the Reduced Offer but shall fail to
execute and deliver the Purchase Agreement within thirty (30) days after
accepting the Reduced Offer, Landlord shall again be free for a period of one
hundred eighty (180) days to sell the Premises to any other party in the same
manner as aforesaid. If Landlord shall fail to accept a bona fide offer to sell
the Premises in accordance with terms of Section this Section 9.1(b) within the
time periods specified herein, then Tenant's right of first opportunity to
purchase set forth in Section 9.1(a) and this Section 9.1(b) shall again become
applicable.

      9.2. Tenant's Right of First Refusal. If, during the Term of this Lease,
Landlord shall receive an offer to purchase the Premises and Landlord desires to
accept such offer (the "Landlord's Offer"), Landlord shall give written notice
of the terms of Landlord's Offer and Landlord's desire to accept Landlord's
Offer to Tenant (the "Landlord's Offer Notice"). If Tenant desires to acquire
the Premises on the terms and conditions in Landlord's Offer Notice, Tenant
shall give Landlord notice thereof (the "Tenant's Acceptance Notice") within the
earlier to occur of (a) five (5) business days after the date on which Landlord
gives Tenant Landlord's Offer Notice, if Tenant shall have declined a Sale Offer
or Reduced Offer within

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

the preceding twelve (12) month period or (b) thirty (30) days after the date on
which Landlord gives Tenant Landlord's Offer Notice if Tenant shall not have
declined a Sale Offer or Reduced Offer within the preceding twelve (12) month
period, and, in the event that Tenant delivers a Tenant's Acceptance Notice,
Landlord and Tenant shall promptly thereafter execute and deliver the Purchase
Agreement. If Tenant does not give Tenant's Acceptance Notice to Landlord within
such five (5) business day period or thirty (30) day period, as applicable,
Landlord shall be entitled to accept Landlord's Offer and consummate the sale of
the Premises free of Tenant's rights under this Section 9.2.

                                    ARTICLE X

                          DEVELOPMENT OF EXPANSION LOT

      10.1. Tenant's Approval Right During Term. Tenant hereby acknowledges that
Landlord may desire to develop the Expansion Lot by constructing a building or
other improvements thereon ("Expansion Building"). In the event Landlord desires
to construct the Expansion Building, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant
describing its development plan in detail reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.
Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice and a
development plan in detail reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, either approve or
disapprove the proposed development in writing. Tenant's approval of the plans
for the Expansion Building shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned,
provided, that, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that it shall be reasonable for
Tenant to withhold its approval to any design for the Expansion Building (i) to
the extent such design is not for a first class office building, laboratory
building, medical research facility, health care research facility or a
combination of any of the foregoing comparable to the first class quality of the
Building and other buildings located in MetroNorth Corporate Center (120
Presidential Way, 150 Presidential Way, 10 Presidential Way and 235 Presidential
Way) or (ii) if it is not in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations. Any special permit obtained by Landlord with respect to the
Expansion Building shall be deemed to be in compliance with all applicable laws
and regulations, provided, that, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant
shall have the right to disapprove any proposed use or design of the Expansion
Building that is noxious or that would have a material adverse effect on
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises.

      10.2. Activities on Expansion Lot. In connection with any activities of
Landlord on or affecting the Expansion Lot, Landlord hereby covenants and agrees
to (i) abide by, and cause its contractors and agents to abide by, the building
rules and regulations regarding construction activities at the Building,
exclusive of any rules and regulations which conflict with the terms of this
Lease or which have not been provided as of the date hereof to Tenant, (ii) not
damage the Building or any portion of the Primary Lot and (iii) not unreasonably
disturb the use, occupancy or enjoyment by Tenant or its successors and assigns
of any portion of the Building or the Primary Lot.

      10.3. Construction Activities of Landlord on Expansion Lot. Landlord
understands and acknowledges that Tenant operates a manufacturing facility at
the Premises that may be adversely affected by noise or vibrations caused by
construction activities on the Primary Lot or the Expansion Lot. In connection
with performing any construction activities on the Primary Lot or the Expansion
Lot, Landlord will use its best efforts to avoid adversely affecting Tenant's
manufacturing facility. Landlord shall provide Tenant with not less than
seventy-two (72) hours' advance notice of any construction activities on the
Primary Lot or Expansion Lot that could

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

potentially have an adverse effect on Tenant's manufacturing facility or other
operations. If Tenant thereafter notifies Landlord that such proposed
construction activities will likely have an adverse effect on Tenant's
manufacturing or other operations, Landlord shall use its best efforts to employ
any and all available alternatives to the extent necessary to avoid adversely
affecting Tenant's manufacturing and other operations (such as performing the
work during other than Tenant's business hours; employing alternative
construction methods, etc.).

      10.4. Expansion Right. Subject to the terms of this Section 10.4, except
during the final eighteen (18) months of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall
have the following rights to lease space in the Expansion Building (the
"Expansion Space").

            (a) Tenant's Preconstruction Expansion Option. Before construction
of the Expansion Building is commenced and before Landlord shall enter into any
binding arrangement with any third party to lease all or part of the Expansion
Building, Landlord shall provide Tenant a notice (the "Preconstruction Expansion
Notice") setting forth the terms and conditions under which Landlord would be
willing to lease space to Tenant ("Tenant's Preconstruction Expansion Option").
Within thirty (30) days after Landlord's notice, Tenant shall inform Landlord
whether it elects to lease space in the Expansion Building according to the
terms set forth in the Preconstruction Expansion Notice. If Tenant does not so
inform Landlord within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to
have elected not to lease such space in the Expansion Building. If Tenant so
elects, Landlord shall offer the space to Tenant on the terms described in the
Preconstruction Expansion Notice, except that Tenant shall have the right to
specify that the term of its lease for the space in the Expansion Building shall
be coterminous with the Term for its space in the Building (including any
Extension Term), provided, that, the term of its lease for space in the
Expansion Building shall in no event be less than five (5) years. If Tenant does
not so elect, or is deemed not to have so elected, Landlord shall be free to
enter into a lease with any other party for a rent with an effective value not
less than 95% of the effective value of the rent in the Preconstruction
Expansion Notice, which amount shall be determined based on the rental rate,
rent escalations, tenant incentives and other concessions; provided, however,
Landlord shall not be free to enter into a lease with any other party for rent
with an effective value less than 95% of the effective value of the rent in the
Preconstruction Expansion Notice without providing Tenant another
Preconstruction Expansion Notice as provided above. The provisions of this
Section 10.4(a) shall apply to all lease arrangements that Landlord enters into
with respect to the Expansion Building prior to commencement of construction
thereof. In the event Landlord does not commence construction of the Expansion
Building within two (2) years of the date Tenant does not elect, or is deemed
not to have elected, to lease space in the Expansion Building according to the
terms set forth in the Preconstruction Expansion Notice, and Landlord continues
to desire to construct the Expansion Building, Landlord shall, except during the
final eighteen (18) months of the Term of this Lease (as the same may have been
extended), provide to Tenant another Preconstruction Expansion Notice as
provided above, which notice shall be subject to the rights of third parties who
have previously agreed to lease space in the Expansion Building.

            (b) Tenant's Offer. Within thirty (30) days after the date of
commencement of construction of the Expansion Building, Landlord shall grant to
Tenant a right of first offer ("Offer Right") to lease all or part of the
Expansion Building (the "Offer Notice"). The Offer Notice shall include (i) the
size and location of any and all available space in the Expansion Building
("Expansion Space"), (ii) Landlord's reasonable good faith determination of
Landlord's

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

anticipated rental rate and tenant incentives and other terms and conditions for
the Expansion Space, (iii) the date that the Expansion Space will be available
to Tenant, (iv) the length of the term for which such Expansion Space can be
leased to Tenant and (v) such other terms as Landlord shall elect. Tenant may,
within ten (10) days after its receipt of the Offer Notice, elect to exercise
its right to lease the Expansion Space covered by such Offer Notice on
Landlord's proposed rental terms. If Tenant fails to exercise its right within
such ten (10) day period after Tenant's receipt of the Offer Notice, Tenant
shall be deemed to have waived its right under this Section 10.4(b) as to such
Expansion Space (but not as to any other space in the Expansion Building) for a
period of twelve (12) calendar months after the date on which Landlord gives the
Offer Notice; provided, however, that if Tenant does not exercise its right
under this Section 10.4(b), Landlord may not lease such Expansion Space for less
than 95% of the effective value of the rent in the Offer Notice, which amount
shall be determined based on the rental rate, rent escalations, tenant
incentives, rent abatements and other concessions, without first providing
Tenant another Offer Notice as provided above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Tenant fails to exercise its right under this Section 10.4(b) and Landlord fails
to lease such Expansion Space on terms as described in the preceding sentence,
within twelve (12) calendar months after the date on which Landlord gives the
Offer Notice, or if Landlord leases such Expansion Space and such Expansion
Space thereafter again becomes available for lease, then Tenant's rights under
this Section 10.4(b) shall be reinstated as to such Expansion Space and Landlord
shall provide Tenant with another Offer Notice as provided above. Tenant's
rights under this Section 10.4(b) shall be subject to the rights of other
tenants leasing space in the Building or the Expansion Building at the time
Tenant exercises its Offer Right.

            (c) Except for work and allowances constituting tenant incentives as
shown in the Preconstruction Expansion Notice or the Offer Notice, or unless
Landlord expressly agrees in writing to the contrary, the Expansion Space leased
by Tenant shall be leased in its "then-existing" condition and shall be provided
to Tenant broom clean (it being expressly understood by Tenant that Landlord
shall not be required to complete any work or provide any tenant improvement
allowance with respect to the Expansion Space).

            (d) If Tenant exercised its rights under this Section 10.4 by
electing to lease the space in the Expansion Building (including Expansion
Space), Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written lease (the "Expansion
Building Lease") confirming the terms, provisions and conditions applicable to
the space leased by Tenant.

The foregoing provisions of this Article X are intended to benefit Tenant and
its successors and assigns and to run with Tenant's leasehold and/or fee
interest (as the case may be) in the Building and the Primary Lot and shall be
memorialized in a recordable instrument and recorded in the land records as a
covenant burdening the Expansion Lot.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                    LANDLORD'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      11.1. Representations and Warranties of Landlord. To induce Tenant to
execute this Lease and perform its obligations hereunder, Landlord hereby
represents and warrants to Tenant as of the date hereof as follows:

                                      -35-

            (a) Landlord is a limited liability company, duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Landlord has all
requisite power to own, lease and operate its assets, and to carry on its
business as now conducted. Landlord has full power to execute, deliver and carry
out the terms and provisions of this Lease and all documents required on its
part to be executed and has taken all necessary company action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Lease and all other agreements and
instruments executed in connection herewith and the performance of those

Landlord in furtherance hereof), on behalf of Landlord, have the authority to
bind Landlord to the terms and conditions of this Lease (and all said agreements
and instruments). Neither the execution and delivery of this Lease and said
agreements and instruments to be executed by Landlord in connection herewith,
nor the incurrence by Landlord of the obligations herein set forth, nor the
consummation by Landlord of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance
by Landlord with the terms of this Lease and said agreements and instruments
will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, the limited liability company
agreement of Landlord, or to the knowledge of Landlord, any bond, note or other
evidence of indebtedness, contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument, to which Landlord is a party
or by which any of its properties may be bound. This Lease constitutes, and all
agreements and documents required to be executed by Landlord hereunder when so
executed and delivered shall constitute, the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Landlord enforceable against Landlord in accordance with their
respective terms. Any order, permission, consent, approval, license,
authorization, registration or filing with, or exemption by, any governmental
agency which is required for the execution or delivery of this Lease, or said
agreements and instruments by Landlord has been obtained or made.

            (b) Landlord is not in default or violation of any order, writ
injunction, decree or demand of any governmental authority.

            (c) Landlord (i) is not in receivership or dissolution, (ii) has not
made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or admitted in writing its
inability to pay its debts as they mature, (iii) has not been adjudicated a
bankrupt or filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy or a petition or answer
seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors under the Federal
bankruptcy law or any other similar law or statute of the United States or any
jurisdiction and no such petition has been filed against Landlord, and (iv) to
the best of its knowledge, none of the foregoing are pending or threatened.

            (d) Landlord has not granted or conveyed to anyone other than
Tenant, any right or option to acquire the Property or any party thereof or any
easement, license or lease except for matters of record of the Property or other
right relating to the use or possession of the Property.

     WHEREAS, Waters Corporation (the “Company”) has established and maintains an equity incentive
plan for the benefit of certain employees, consultants and directors of the Company entitled the
Waters Corporation 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan;

     NOW THEREFORE, in accordance with the power of amendment contained in Section 13 of the Plan,
the Plan is hereby amended, effective as of February 18, 2005, as follows:

	 	1.	 	The first two sentences of Section 4 of the Plan (“Stock Subject to the Plan”)
is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“At no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to or subject to outstanding Awards granted under the
Plan exceed 9,497,290 plus the number of any shares subject to
awards granted under the Waters Corporation 1996 Long-Term
Performance Incentive Plan, the Waters Corporation 1996
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and the Waters
Corporation 1994 Stock Option Plan which would have become
available for additional awards thereunder by reason of the
expiration or termination of those awards, subject, however, to
the provisions of Section 8 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing limitation, Awards for Incentive Stock Options shall
not exceed 9,497,290 shares.”

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this amendment to be signed on its behalf by its
