         4.1 In consideration of the lease of each Ring hereunder, Lessee shall
pay to Qwest the stated monthly fee as set forth in EXHIBIT E (Pricing) for such
Ring (the "LEASE FEE") for the term of Lessee Ring Fiber Term for such Ring. The
Lease Fee shall be exclusive of maintenance costs for the Rings. Lessee shall
commence making such payments with respect to each Ring upon the first business
day of the first calendar month commencing [*]. The first Lease Fee payment
shall include payment from the Acceptance Date to the last day of the month
during which the Acceptance Date occurs, as well as payment for the first full
month after the Acceptance Date. The Lease Fee for any partial month shall be
prorated based on the number of days in that month. For the term of each Ring,
Lessee shall also pay to Qwest an annual operation and maintenance charge,
payable monthly, calculated at the rate of [*], which will begin to be applied
to each Ring leased herein on the Acceptance Date thereof, and shall continue
for the Lessee Ring Fiber Term associated with the Ring. The operations and
maintenance fee shall also be prorated based on the number of days in any
partial month.

         4.2 In consideration of the lease of each Building Lateral hereunder,
Lessee shall pay to Qwest [*] (the "BUILDING LATERAL FEE"). For those Building
Laterals not already identified on EXHIBIT A or added to EXHIBIT A subsequent to

maintenance charge, payable yearly, calculated at the rate of [*] to a connected
Building Lateral, which will begin to be applied to each Building Lateral leased
herein on the Acceptance Date. Lessee shall pay the annual operation and
maintenance charge concurrent with the [*] balance payment upon Acceptance of
the Building Lateral and on each anniversary of the Acceptance Date throughout
the Lessee Building Lateral Fiber Term.

         4.3 If Lessee fails to make any payment under this Agreement within
five (5) business days of when due, such amount shall accrue interest from the
date such payment is due until paid at a rate of [*] per annum or the maximum
rate provided by law, whichever is less.

         4.4 The Parties agree that in order to receive the pricing set forth in
EXHIBIT E, Lessee must place Orders for [*] Fiber Miles of Ring [*] months of
the Effective Date, and place Orders for [*] Fiber Miles [*] months of the
Effective Date. Qwest shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Lessee
if Lessee has not placed Orders for enough Rings in sufficient time to meet the
required minimums. Qwest's failure to notify Lessee shall not be deemed a breach
of this Agreement and shall not effect Lessee's obligation to pay the minimum
Lease Fee as set forth herein. If Lessee fails to place Orders for the minimum
Fiber Mile requirement, then Qwest shall invoice Lessee for the deficiency in
the Fiber Mile requirement at a rate of [*] per month times the number of Fiber
Miles for which Lessee should have placed Orders to meet its minimum
requirements. As Lessee Accepts additional Fiber Miles, Qwest shall reduce the
[*] per month per Fiber Mile charge on a mile for mile basis until Lessee has
met its Fiber Mile minimum requirement. (By way of example, if Lessee has a
deficiency of 50 Fiber Miles and later Accepts an additional 25 Fiber Miles,
Qwest shall reduce the deficiency charge by 25 Fiber Miles)

5.       ORDERS, DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE TESTING

         5.1 The initial Rings and Building Laterals available for lease by
Lessee, subject to Qwest's acceptance of such request, shall be set forth on
EXHIBIT A, which may be amended from time to time by Qwest to add (but not to
subtract) Rings or Building Laterals. The list of Rings and Building Laterals
that Lessee has leased from Qwest are set forth in EXHIBITS A1 and A2,
respectively, which exhibits may be amended from time to time to reflect the
actual Rings and Building Laterals so leased. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that any Building Laterals ordered pursuant to this Agreement must connect to a
Qwest Ring. Lessee will, from time to time, request to lease a Segment pursuant
to the terms and conditions herein by providing Qwest with one or more written
Request. Each such Request shall indicate Lessee's proposed Segments, the number
of fibers, and the Qwest metropolitan market(s). Qwest shall respond to Lessee
in writing within fifteen (15) business days of receiving such Request by either
accepting or rejecting such Request in its commercially reasonable judgment. Any
acceptance of a Request by Qwest shall include any specific conditions that may
effect or impact Lessee's use of the Ordered Segment in a material way and the
Expected Delivery Date. If Qwest does not respond to a Request within fifteen
(15) business days, then the Request shall be deemed rejected. Lessee shall
respond to Qwest's response within fifteen (15) business days of receiving such
response. Lessee shall have the option of continuing with the Request subject to
the additional terms stated by Qwest or canceling the Request. [*] The Parties
shall have the right but not the obligation to negotiate the terms of any
Request. Once the Parties have mutually agreed upon the terms of a Request, then
Lessee shall submit a written Order in a form reasonably requested by Qwest. The
Order Date shall be the date on which Qwest receives the written Order.

         5.2 Qwest shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Deliver any
Segment to Lessee by the estimated Delivery Date mutually agreed to by the
Parties in the Order ("EXPECTED DELIVERY DATE"). If a Ring is not Delivered to
Lessee within [*] days after the Expected Delivery Date, then Lessee may either
terminate the Order for the applicable Ring or the Parties may negotiate a
revised Expected Delivery Date. If a Ring is not Delivered to Lessee within [*]
days after the Expected Delivery Date, then either Party may terminate the
Product Order with no further obligations under the applicable Product Order. If
either Party terminates an Order for a Ring pursuant to this Section, [*]. If a
Building Lateral is not Delivered to Lessee within [*] days after the Expected
Delivery Date, then Qwest shall pro rate the monthly Lease Fee for the Ring on
which the applicable Building Lateral will connect equal to [*] of the Lease Fee
for each day that Qwest is late in delivering the Building Lateral past the
Expected Delivery Date plus [*] days. If a Building Lateral is not Delivered to
Lessee within [*] days after the Expected Delivery Date, then Lessee may either
revise the Expected Delivery Date subject to Qwest's approval or terminate the
Order. In the event that Lessee terminates the Order for a Building Lateral
pursuant to this Section, [*]. The pro rating of the monthly Lease Fee shall
cease upon Qwest's Delivery of the Building Lateral to Lessee.

         5.3 Upon Delivery, the Lessee Fibers shall comply with the technical
specifications set forth in EXHIBIT B hereto. Qwest shall test each Segment in
accordance with the procedures specified in EXHIBIT B to verify that it is
operating in accordance with the technical specifications in EXHIBIT B. Qwest
shall provide Lessee with reasonable advance notice of the date and time of each
applicable acceptance test so that Lessee shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to have a person or persons present to observe the tests. Upon
Lessee's request, Qwest shall promptly provide Lessee with a copy of the test
results.

         5.4 In the event the results of any applicable acceptance test show
that the Lessee Fibers are not operating in accordance with the applicable
technical specifications in EXHIBIT B, Qwest shall promptly take action that is
commercially reasonable to bring the Segment of the Lessee Fibers that is not
operating within the applicable technical specifications into compliance with
such standards. In no event shall the unavailability, incompatibility, delay in
installation, or other impairment of any of Lessee's interconnection facilities
including Lessee's suppliers (E.G., a local access telephone service provider)
be used as a basis for rejecting any portion of the Fibers granted hereunder.

         5.5 Qwest will notify Lessee in writing when any applicable Segment of
the Lessee Fibers has met the technical specifications in EXHIBIT B. Within
twenty (20) days of receipt of such notice ("ACCEPTANCE PERIOD"), Lessee shall
sign and deliver an Acceptance letter to Qwest acknowledging the Delivery of
each Segment of Lessee Fibers in the System Route. By signing the Acceptance
letter, Lessee acknowledges that each Segment of Lessee Fiber listed in the
Acceptance letter complies with the applicable technical specifications. The
date of such signing shall become the Acceptance Date. If Lessee determines that
any Segment of Lessee Fiber does not comply with the technical specifications,
it shall notify Qwest in writing within the Acceptance Period. Such notice shall
specify in detail how the applicable Segment of Lessee Fiber does not conform.

Lessee fails to provide such notice within the Acceptance Period, or if the
notice does not provide reasonable specificity, Lessee is deemed to have
Accepted the applicable leased Fiber Segments on the expiration of the
Acceptance Period, which shall then become the Acceptance Date. [*].

         5.6 If Lessee requests Fibers in a Building Lateral identified on
EXHIBIT A, and such requested Fibers are not available due to unavailability of
Fibers in such Building Lateral, Lessee may submit a Request that Qwest pull an
additional fiber bundle through the existing conduit, or to use another of
Qwest's building conduits, if available ("WORK REQUEST"). The Parties will
follow the Request and Order process set forth above in Section 5.1. If Qwest
accepts the Work Request, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the
terms and conditions for such work and any credits for Lessee for the sale or
lease of Fibers from the fiber bundle so installed that are not taken by Lessee.
Qwest shall not be under any obligation to perform such construction work for
Lessee unless set forth in a written Order.

         5.7 Lessee shall at all times be entitled to install fiber optic cable
to any buildings not set forth on EXHIBIT A at its own cost and expense,
provided that Lessee shall comply with applicable standards and parameters set
forth in this Agreement. Lessee may submit a Request that Qwest provide
Connecting Points to such laterals in accordance with EXHIBIT C hereto. The
Parties will follow the Request and Order process set forth above in Section
5.1. If Qwest accepts an Order under this Section, then Qwest shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide access to Connecting Points subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in EXHIBIT C hereto. Qwest shall not be
under any obligation to provide Connecting Points unless set forth in a written
Order.

6.       OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

         6.1 The lease of the Lessee Fibers does not provide Lessee with the
right to physically access, encumber or to use the Qwest Network except as
expressly set forth herein. The Lessee Fibers are subject to and provisioned in
accordance with the technical specifications in Sections 1-3 of EXHIBIT B
hereto, which may be modified from time to time subject to the standards and
practices of the industry. Qwest shall provide Lessee with annual notice of any
changes to the technical specifications set forth in EXHIBIT B, but in no event
shall Qwest's failure to provide such notice be deemed an Event of Default.

         6.2 Qwest will use commercially reasonable efforts to operate and
maintain the Lessee Fibers in accordance with the operations and maintenance
specifications and procedures in Section 4 of EXHIBIT B hereto. However, the
operations and maintenance requirements herein do not ensure that the Lessee
Fibers will perform in accordance with the technical specifications in EXHIBIT B
following the Effective Date.

         6.3 This Agreement does not obligate Qwest to supply to Lessee any
optical or electrical equipment, or other facilities, including without

uses, pipeline operations or any other purposes, and to the prior right of Qwest
to use its rights granted under the Underlying Rights. The rights granted herein
are expressly made subject and subordinate to each and every limitation,
restriction or reservation affecting the Underlying Rights. Nothing herein shall
be construed as to be a representation, warranty or covenant of Qwest's right,
title or interest with respect to the right of way or the Underlying Rights.

         7.2 Upon the expiration or other termination of an Underlying Right
that is necessary in order to grant, continue or maintain the Lessee Fibers
hereunder, Qwest shall be responsible either to renew such Underlying Right or
to obtain an alternate right of way at no cost to Lessee. In the event Qwest
loses an Underlying Right during a Lessee Fiber Term or needs such Underlying
Right in order to grant a Renewal Term to Lessee, and Qwest requests assistance
by Lessee in obtaining such Underlying Right, Lessee agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to assist Qwest in obtaining such Underlying Right (I.E.,
assisting Qwest in gaining access to a building for which Lessee has obtained
access rights). If at any time during the Term a federal, state or local
government authority or agency seeks to impose any new, material Underlying
Right on the Lessee Fibers above and beyond current charges, Lessee shall be
responsible for paying its Allocable Share of such new charges to Qwest.

         7.3 If Qwest is required to relocate any part of the Qwest Network
during a Lessee Fiber Term, including any of the facilities used or required in
providing the Lessee Fibers, Qwest shall reasonably determine the extent of, the
timing of, and methods to be used for such relocation; provided that any such
relocation shall be constructed and tested in accordance with the specifications
set forth in EXHIBIT B, and incorporate Fiber meeting the specifications of the
original leased Lessee Fiber. Qwest shall bear the costs of such relocation.

         7.4 Qwest shall deliver to Lessee updated as built drawings with
respect to the relocated Segment within ninety (90) days following the
completion of such relocation.

         7.5 In the event of a relocation, Qwest may, at its sole discretion,
route the Lessee Fibers through additional terminal, end link, POP or
regeneration facilities that are not required under this Section 7, in which
case Qwest shall be responsible for all

facilities only.

         7.6 Relocation pursuant to this Section shall not effect the applicable
Lessee Fiber Term.

8.       ACCESS TO QWEST POPS

         8.1 Lessee and its designees (such as local telecommunications
providers) shall have access to each Qwest POP specified in EXHIBIT A (if any
are specified) for the purposes of interconnecting with each granted Segment of
Lessee Fiber. Such access and interconnection shall be subject to the access and
interconnection standards and procedures regularly established by Qwest, as
modified by it from time to time.

9.       USE OF QWEST NETWORK

         9.1 Lessee represents and warrants that the use of the Lessee Fibers by
its customers or end users shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances,
rules, regulations and restrictions, and will be used for interstate purposes
only.

         9.2 This Agreement grants no right to Lessee to use any element of the
Qwest Network other than the right to use the Lessee Fibers and Associated
Property pursuant to the terms hereof. Qwest shall not cause or permit any of
Lessee's rights under this Agreement or any Lessee equipment connected to any
leased Segment to become subject to any mechanic's, materialmen's, or vendor's
lien, or any similar lien. Lessee shall keep any and all of the Qwest Network,
including the Lessee Fibers, free from any liens, rights or claims of any third
party attributable to Lessee or its use of the Qwest Network.

         9.3 Lessee shall be responsible for the configuration and operation of
Lessee's network using the Lessee Fibers, including the provisioning of all
Local Distribution Facilities, interconnection facilities, network equipment,
testing equipment and procedures, maintenance (other than maintenance of the
Lessee Fibers or any portion of the Qwest Network), and other facilities or
actions necessary to use the Lessee Fibers. Local Distribution Facilities shall
be separately acquired by Lessee and may be provided by a local telephone
company or other third party, and must comply with Qwest's applicable
engineering and operations requirements. Local Distribution Facilities are not
part of the Lessee Fibers, and Lessee's Acceptance of each Segment hereunder may
not be conditioned upon the availability of such Local Distribution Facilities.
Lessee shall conduct all operations and use of the Lessee Fibers in a manner
that does not interfere with the Qwest Network or the use thereof by Qwest or
any other customer of Qwest. Lessee shall comply at all times with Qwest's
operating procedures and interconnection requirements.

         9.4 Lessee shall hold Qwest harmless to Lessee's customers and limit
the liability of Lessee for interruptions, failures, or degradation of service
to the charges received by Lessee for such service.

obligations in this Agreement imposed by any governmental agency, regulatory

17.      CONFIDENTIALITY

         17.1 Qwest and Lessee agree that if either party (the "DISCLOSING
PARTY") provides confidential or proprietary, non-public information
("PROPRIETARY INFORMATION") to the other party (the "RECIPIENT PARTY"), such
Proprietary Information shall be held in confidence, and the Recipient Party
shall afford Proprietary Information the same care and protection as it affords
generally to its own confidential and proprietary information (which in any case
shall be not less than reasonable care) in order to avoid disclosure to or
unauthorized use by any third party. This Agreement, including its existence and
all of the terms, conditions and provisions, constitutes Proprietary
Information. All information disclosed by either party to the other in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
Proprietary Information, provided that written information is clearly marked in
a conspicuous place as confidential or proprietary, and verbal information is
indicated as being confidential or proprietary when given or promptly confirmed
in writing as such thereafter. All Proprietary Information, unless otherwise
specified in writing, shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party, shall
be used by the Recipient Party only for its intended purpose. All Proprietary
Information, including all copies thereof, shall be returned to the Disclosing
Party or destroyed after the Recipient Party's need for it has expired or upon
the request of the Disclosing Party. Proprietary Information shall not be
reproduced except to the extent necessary to accomplish the purpose and intent
of this Agreement, or as otherwise may be permitted in writing by the Disclosing
Party.

         17.2 The foregoing provisions of Section 17.1 shall not apply to any
Proprietary Information which: (i) becomes publicly available other than through
disclosure by the Recipient Party; (ii) is required to be disclosed by law, rule
or regulation, or by court order; (iii) is independently developed by the
Recipient Party; (iv) becomes available to the Recipient Party without
restriction from a third party; or (v) becomes relevant to the settlement of any
dispute or enforcement of either party's rights under this Agreement in
accordance with its terms and conditions. If any Proprietary Information is
required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section, the party required to make
such disclosure shall immediately inform the other party of the requirements of
such disclosure and take all reasonable protective measures to preserve the
confidentiality of such Proprietary Information as fully as possible in the
context of such permitted disclosure.

         17.3 Notwithstanding Sections 17.1 and 17.2, either party may disclose
Proprietary Information to its employees or agents, its legal, financial, and
accounting advisors, and to its lenders with a need to know such Proprietary
Information, provided that the Disclosing Party notifies any recipient of its
confidential and proprietary nature and obtains, in advance, an agreement in
writing from the recipient to be bound by the non-disclosure obligations of this
Section.

         17.4 The provisions of this Section 17 shall survive for a period of
two (2) years from the date of the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

18.      DEFAULT

         18.1 A party shall be in default under the Agreement upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default. The defaulting party shall have thirty (30)
days after the non-defaulting party gives written notice of default to the
defaulting party to cure the default (unless the default is cured or waived in
writing by the non-defaulting party within the thirty (30) day period). However,
in such cases where a default cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period
by the exercise of diligent, commercially reasonable effort, the party in
default must cure the default within ninety (90) days after the non-defaulting
party gives its notice. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if the default
is for Lessee's non-payment of any amount due under Section 4 of this Agreement,
the Lessee shall have five (5) days from the date a payment is due to cure the
default, and in cases of such payment default Qwest is not required to send a
written notice of default to Lessee.

         18.2 Events of Default shall mean the following: (i) failure to make
any payment when due; (ii) breach of any material provision not cured within the
applicable cure period; or (iii) either party is or becomes Insolvent.

         18.3 In addition to the specific remedies provided in this Agreement,
upon giving notice of default, the non-defaulting party may: (i) take any action
it determines to be necessary to correct the default; and (ii) pursue any other
legal or equitable remedies it may have under applicable law that are consistent
with the terms of this Agreement.

19.      TERMINATION

         19.1 Qwest may terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Lessee to
cure an Event of Default before the expiration of the applicable cure period, if
any, as required by Section 18. In the event that Qwest terminates this
Agreement due to an uncured Event of Default by Lessee, all monthly Lease Fee
payments for the remainder of the Lessee Fiber Term for such Ring or Building
Lateral shall become immediately due and payable. In the event either party
fails to cure an Event of Default within the applicable cure period, the
aggrieved party may pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to it under
applicable law, subject to the dispute resolution provisions herein.

         19.2 Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all rights
of Lessee to use the Qwest System, the Fibers, the Associated Property or any
part thereof shall cease. Promptly thereupon, Lessee shall remove all of
Lessee's electronics, equipment, and other Lessee property from Qwest facilities
at its sole cost, under Qwest's supervision. Upon termination or expiration of
this Agreement, each party shall return all of the other party's Confidential
Information in its possession or control.

         19.3 The defined terms and the rights and obligations set forth in the
following sections shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement:
10 (Indemnification), 11 (Limitation of Liability, Disclaimer of Warranties), 17
(Confidentiality), 21 (Arbitration), 22 (Waiver), 23 (Governing Law), 24 (Rules
of Construction), 26 (Publicity), 28 (No Personal Liability), 30 (No Third
Beneficiaries), 31 (Severability), 33 (Entire Agreement; Amendment).

20.      FORCE MAJEURE

         20.1 Neither party shall be in default under this Agreement if its
failure to perform is caused by any of the following conditions: act of God;
fire; flood; fiber cut; power outages; material shortages or unavailability or
other delay in delivery not resulting from the responsible party's failure to
timely place orders; lack of or delay in transportation; government codes,
ordinances, laws, rules, regulations, orders approvals or restrictions
(collectively, "REGULATIONS"); war or civil disorder; labor unrest or strike; or
any other cause beyond the commercially reasonable control of the effected
party; provided the condition giving rise to such claim for relief under this
Section was not due to the actions of the party claiming relief under this
Section. The party claiming relief under this Section shall promptly notify the
other in writing of the existence of the event relied upon and the cessation or
termination of that event. For the duration of any valid force majeure event,
the performance of the effected party shall be excused.

21.      ARBITRATION

         21.1 Either party shall notify the other in writing upon the existence
of any dispute pertaining to this Agreement. The parties agree to work in good
faith to resolve the dispute during the thirty (30) day period after the written
notice is delivered. If the parties are unable to reach a settlement of the
dispute within the thirty (30) day period, either party may file a demand for
arbitration in the offices of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitration shall take place in New York, New York. The arbitration shall be
conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association in effect at the time the demand for arbitration is
filed. If the parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator within thirty
(30) days from the commencement of arbitration, each party shall select an
arbitrator and the two (2) arbitrators shall promptly select a third neutral
arbitrator, the three of whom shall serve as an arbitration panel. The decision
of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall
include written findings of law and fact. Any award issued by the arbitrator(s)
may be reduced to a judgment and entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Each party shall bear its own fees and costs in connection with the arbitration,
except for the fees and expenses of the arbitrator(s), which shall be borne
equally by the parties.

         21.2 The obligation to arbitrate shall not be binding upon any party

         termination to the Employee which notice shall be effective not less
         than thirty (30) days after delivery thereof. Upon termination of
         Employee's employment hereunder as a result of Disability, Employee
         shall receive his Base Salary for a period of six (6) months following
         such termination. Any payments provided for in this Section 7(b) shall
         be offset (but not below zero) by any payment of disability benefits in
         lieu of Base Salary received by Employee under the Company's employee
         benefit plans as then in effect. In addition, all options or other
         awards previously granted by the Company shall continue to vest during
         the period of salary payments.

                  (c) DEATH. Upon termination of Employee's employment hereunder
         as a result of Employee's death, Employee's estate shall be entitled to
         receive his Base Salary through the date of termination. All other
         benefits due Employee following Employee's termination of employment
         pursuant to Section 7(a) shall be determined in accordance with the
         plans, policies and practices of the Company at the time of such
         termination. Thereafter, the Company shall, except as provided in
         subsection (g) hereof, have no further obligation to compensate
         Employee under this Agreement.

                  (d) WITHOUT CAUSE BY THE COMPANY. If Employee's employment is
         terminated by the Company without "Cause" (other than by reason of
         Disability or death), Employee shall receive, as promptly as
         practicable following such termination, but in any event not later than
         ten (10) business days following such termination, a lump sum payment
         in cash equal to the sum of:

                           (i) if not theretofore paid, the Employee's Base
         Salary through the date of termination at the rate in effect on the
         date of termination or, if higher, at the highest rate in effect at any
         time within the 90-day period preceding the date of this Agreement;

                           (ii)  a severance payment of One Hundred Thousand
         Dollars ($100,000); and

                           (iii) in the case of compensation previously deferred
         by the Employee, if any, all amounts of such compensation previously
         deferred and not yet paid by the Company.

                                       3

         In addition, all options or other awards issued under the Option Plan
         shall become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of
         Termination.

                  (e) FOR GOOD REASON BY EMPLOYEE. The provisions of this
         Section 7(e) shall apply in the event that the Employee terminates his
         employment with the Company for "Good Reason". For purposes of this
         Agreement, "Good Reason" means (without Employee's express prior
         written consent):

                           (i) The assignment to Employee by the Company of
         duties inconsistent with Employee's positions, duties,
         responsibilities, titles or offices, or any removal of Employee from or
         any failure to re-elect Employee to any of such positions, except in
         connection with the termination of Employee's employment for Cause,
         Disability, or as a result of Employee's death or by Employee other
         than for Good Reason;

                           (ii) A reduction by the Company in Employee's Base
         Salary as in effect at the date of this Agreement, as the same may be
         increased during the Term of this Agreement;

                           (iii) A relocation of the Company's principal
         executives offices to a location outside of the metropolitan Boston,
         Massachusetts area or the Company's requiring Employee to be based
         anywhere other than its current location in Billerica, Massachusetts,
         except for required travel on the Company's business to an extent
         substantially consistent with Employee's business travel obligations at
         the date of this Agreement, or any material reduction or adverse change
         in the emoluments or perquisites of office provided to the Employee at
         the date of this Agreement;

                           (iv) A failure by the Company to continue in effect
         fringe benefits and benefit or compensation plans (including any profit
         sharing, bonus, life insurance, health, stock option, accidental death
         or dismemberment or disability plan) with terms which in the aggregate
         are as favorable as those fringe benefits and plans to which Employee
         is entitled or in which Employee is participating, as the case may be,
         at the date of this Agreement (or in the case of fringe benefits or
         plans granted or adopted, as the case may be, after the date hereof and
         providing a type of benefit not provided by the Company at the date of
         this Agreement, at the respective dates of grant or adoption of such
         fringe benefits or plans); or

                           (v) The failure by the Company to obtain the specific
         assumption of this Agreement by any successor or assignee of the
         Company or any person acquiring a substantial portion of the assets of
         the Company, or, following any such assumption, assignment or
         acquisition by an entity other than an affiliate of the Company, the
         occurrence of any event that Employee reasonably believes will impair
         his rights under this Agreement.

         If Employee terminates his employment for "Good Reason", Employee shall
be entitled to the same payments he would have received if his employment had
been terminated by the Company without "Cause".

                  (f) WITHOUT GOOD REASON BY EMPLOYEE. If Employee voluntarily
         terminates his employment with the Company for any reason other than
         "Good Reason", Employee shall be entitled to the payments and benefits
         provided to executive employees according to the Company's retirement
         plan in existence at the time of termination.

                  (g) CONTINUATION OF BENEFITS. Upon the termination of
         Employee's employment other than as a result of death or for Cause, in
         addition to any other amounts due hereunder, the Company shall provide
         Employee with a continuation of those benefits to which Employee is
         entitled hereunder for a period of twelve (12) months.

                  (h) NOTICE OF TERMINATION. Any purported termination of
         employment by the Company or by Employee shall not be effective until
         communicated by written notice of termination to the other party. For
         purposes of this Agreement, a "notice of termination" shall mean a
         notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this
         Agreement relied upon; shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts
         and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
         employment under the provision so indicated; and, in the case of
         termination by the Company for Cause, shall conform to the requirements
         of Section 7(a) above.

         8. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or
         oral, between the Employee and the Company relating to the subject
         matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee and the
         Company acknowledge that the Retention Agreement, dated as of
         ______________, and the Confidentiality, Invention, and Non-Competition
         Agreement, dated as of _________________ between the Employee and the
         Company, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit "A", remain in
         full force and effect. This Agreement may not be modified, changed or
         discharged in whole or in part, except by an agreement in writing
         signed by the Employee and on behalf of the Company.

                  (b) NO WAIVER. The failure of a party to insist upon strict
         adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be
         considered a waiver of such party's rights or deprive such party of the
         right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any
         other term of this Agreement.

                  (c) SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the
         provisions of this Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or
         unenforceable in any respect,

                                       5
<PAGE>

         the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
         of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

                  (d) ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall not be assignable by
         Executive or by the Company.

                   (e) ARBITRATION. Except where equitable relief is sought, any
         dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
         Agreement, or the breach hereof, shall be settled by arbitration in
         accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association by a
         single arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall be an individual familiar with
         the industry. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding upon
         both parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court
         of competent jurisdiction in any state of the United States or country
         or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of
         the award and an enforcement as the law of such jurisdiction may
         require or allow.

                  (f) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
         binding upon personal or legal representatives, executors,
         administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
         If Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to
         Executive hereunder if Executive had continued to live, all such
         amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance
         with the terms of this Agreement to the devisee, legatee or other
         designee of Executive or, if there is no such designee, to the estate
         of Executive.

                  (g) NOTICE. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all
         other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing
         and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by
         United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage
         prepaid, addressed to the following addresses:

         Executive to enforce or protect his rights under this Agreement
         (including fees and expenses incurred in connection with an
         arbitration) unless it shall ultimately be determined by a final
         judgment of an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction that
         Executive was without any justification for commencing or continuing
         any such arbitration,

                                       6

         arbitration, shall also pay one half (1/2) of the fees of the
         arbitrator.

         enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of The Commonwealth
         of Massachusetts, without regard to its principles of conflicts of
         laws.
