     generators on the roof of the Building. If Sublandlord subleases space in
     the Building to another subtenant, Sublandlord reserves the right to review
     the exclusivity granted to Subtenant for the use of any System, and to make
     the Systems available to other subtenants, provided that sharing the System
     in question is feasible, and that any proposed changes do not materially
     adversely affect the use and cost of the System in question to Subtenant.
     Subtenant shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the
     Systems, provided however, that in the event the use of any such Systems
     are shared with another subtenant, such subtenant shall agree in writing
     for the benefit of Subtenant to pay to Subtenant within fifteen (15) days
     of invoice therefor its pro rata share of amounts incurred for the
     operation and maintenance of the Systems. Subtenant shall have use of, and
     access to, all areas of the Leased Premises as are necessary for access to
     the Systems, the back-up generator and the electrical room and boiler in
     the basement of the Building, and a corresponding reservation of such
     rights to Subtenant shall be included in any sublease document to the
     extent any areas containing such systems are subleased to another party.

     subleasing activity relating to the remaining available space in the
     Building. Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant orally or by email when lease
     proposals to other subtenants are issued and keep Subtenant apprised as

     proposed subtenants or the business terms related thereto). No right of
     first refusal, right of first offer, or similar right is hereby granted.

     agrees to give Subtenant reasonable prior notice of any such alterations,
     and to use reasonable efforts to minimize any interruption of Subtenant's
     use of, or access to, the Subleased Premises occasioned thereby, provided
     that any such work may be undertaken during normal business hours, but in
     no event shall Sublandlord have the right to limit Subtenant's use of, or
     access to, the Subleased Premises, and the elevator shall be operational at
     all times. After notice that another subtenant will occupy a portion of the

     between the loading dock and the freight elevator throughout the term of
     this Sublease (the "Loading Dock Rights"), upon reasonable prior notice to
     Subtenant provided that (i) such party requests such access during regular
     business hours, (ii) such party complies with Subtenant's reasonable safety
     and security requirements, and (iii) such party agrees in writing to
     indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subtenant, its officers, directors and
     employees for any liability, claim, damage, cost or loss (including
     reasonable fees of legal counsel) arising in whole, or in part out of, or
     in any manner connected with any injury, loss, theft or damage to any
     person or property while exercising the Loading Dock Rights. Subtenant
     shall have the right in common with others entitled thereto to use the
     Common Areas as defined in the Prime Lease.

     against any loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees)
     incurred as a result of its breach of the foregoing representation.
     Sublandlord shall pay all fees due to the Brokers in connection with the
     Subleased Premises.

20.  Security Deposit. Subtenant agrees to deliver to Sublandlord, upon the
     execution and delivery of this Sublease, a security deposit in the amount
     of One Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Seven and 00/100
     ($166,667.00) Dollars in the form of cash or an irrevocable, unconditional,
     absolutely "clean" letter of credit, in the face amount equal to the
     security deposit, running to Sublandlord as the sole beneficiary, which
     letter of credit shall in all ways be satisfactory to Sublandlord in its
     reasonable discretion (the "Letter of Credit").

     If Subtenant elects to deliver the security deposit in the form of a letter
     of credit, the Letter of Credit shall have a stated duration of and shall
     be effective for at least one (1) year with provision for automatic
     successive annual one-year extensions during the Sublease Term. Subtenant
     shall keep the Letter of Credit in force throughout the Sublease Term.
     Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a renewal Letter of Credit no later
     than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any Letter of Credit
     issued under this paragraph, and if Subtenant fails to do so, Sublandlord
     may draw the entire amount of the expiring Letter of Credit and hold the
     proceeds in cash as the Security Deposit. Any cash security deposit shall
     not be held by Sublandlord in a separate interest bearing account nor shall
     interest accrue or be payable thereon. The Letter of Credit shall be issued
     by a financially sound major regional or national financial institution
     satisfactory to and approved by Sublandlord in its reasonable discretion.
     If the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall admit in writing its inability
     to pay its debts generally as they become due, shall file a petition in
     bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency act, shall
     consent to the appointment of a receiver or conservator of itself or the
     whole or any substantial part of its property, shall file a petition or
     answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the United States
     Bankruptcy Code, shall have a receiver or conservator appointed or shall
     become subject to operational supervision by any Federal or State
     regulatory authority, then Subtenant within thirty (30) days after written
     demand by Sublandlord shall obtain a replacement Letter of Credit from
     another financial institution satisfactory to Sublandlord, in its
     reasonable judgment.

                                       -8-

     The security deposit is given as security for the faithful performance by
     Subtenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease to be
     kept and performed by Subtenant, and not as an advance rental deposit or as
     a measure of Sublandlord's damage in case of Subtenant's default. If
     Subtenant defaults after the expiration of any applicable grace periods,
     Sublandlord may draw upon the security deposit in whole or in part for the
     payment of any rent and/or any other sum in default, and/or for the payment
     of any amount which Sublandlord may spend or become obligated to spend by
     reason of such default, and/or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss
     or amount which Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant's default to
     which Sublandlord may be entitled under this Sublease. If any portion is so
     used, Subtenant shall within five (5) business days after written demand
     therefor, increase the security deposit to the amount required hereunder,
     and Subtenant's failure to do so shall be deemed to be a default under this
     Sublease. Sublandlord shall not be required to indemnify itself from the
     security deposit, or any portion therefore with respect to any particular
     violation or default of the Subtenant, and the appropriation of such money
     from the security deposit shall be discretionary with Sublandlord.

21.  Assignment and Subletting. Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or
     sublease all or part of the Subleased Premises without the prior written
     consent of Sublandlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
     delayed, and the prior written consent of Prime Landlord, as provided in
     the Prime Lease. It is agreed that as between Sublandlord and Subtenant,
     the phrase "transfer in control" as contained in Section 5.5(a) of the
     Prime Lease shall mean a transfer of more than 50% of the stock interests
     in Subtenant.

22.  Prime Landlord's Consent Contingency. This Sublease is conditioned upon
     obtaining Prime Landlord's written consent to this Sublease by August 1,
     2004. Sublandlord agrees to diligently pursue Prime Landlord's written
     consent to this Sublease promptly after execution of this Sublease. In the
     event Prime Landlord's consent, in form satisfying the foregoing
     conditions, to the extent not waived by Subtenant, is not delivered to
     Subtenant by August 1, 2004, either party shall have the right to rescind
     its execution of this Sublease by written notice to the other party, and
     upon receipt of such notice, this Sublease shall terminate and all sums
     paid by Subtenant hereunder shall be immediately returned to Subtenant.

23.  Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be deemed to have
     been given when deposited with the U.S. Mail (certified mail, postage
     prepaid, return receipt requested), when deposited with a recognized
     overnight courier, or when delivered in hand by a direct courier who
     obtains a receipt for such delivery. Such notices shall be sent to the

     the Prime Lease.

Parking Lot, from time to-time. Landlord shall have the right to designate, from
time to time, and to change, from time to time, the designation of managers,

invitees, but shall uniformly enforce all such rules and regulations against all
such parties.

          (a) to make changes, at its sole cost and expense (unless otherwise

decorative walls, signs, landscaped areas and walkways with reasonable notice to
Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) provided, however, that any such
relocation of Parking Spaces shall not be off of the Parking Lot or the
Premises; and provided further that the implementation of such changes will not
(i) materially interfere with the Tenant's conduct of its business at the
Premises; or (ii) alter the number of parking spaces leased to Tenant pursuant
to the terms of this Lease; or (iii) materially alter the percentage of Tenant's
share of operating and tax expenses applicable to the Parking Lot; provided that
if such changes are made to the Parking Lot Tenant shall only be responsible for
its share of operating and tax expenses prior to such change.

terms and conditions as provided in this Lease, except for the Annual Fixed
Rent, which shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.2.1 below and
except that Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term. Tenant shall
exercise this option to extend for an Extension Term by notifying Landlord in
writing at least one year prior to the expiration of the Original Term or the
first Extension Term, as the case may be. In the event Tenant does not exercise
the first option to extend the Term there shall be no second option to extend.

that (i) this Lease remains in full force and effect; (ii) Tenant is not in
default hereunder beyond any applicable period of notice and grace, if any, and
(iii) Tenant is in actual occupancy of at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the
Premises, Tenant shall have the right to negotiate for the acquisition of the
Premises, Land and Building and the Adjacent Building (the "Right to Negotiate")
during the Original Term and the Extension Terms on the following terms and
conditions. If Landlord determines to sell the Premises, Land and Building or
any part thereof or the Adjacent Building, or any part thereof, at any time
during the Original Term or the Extension Term, Landlord shall notify Tenant of
the terms on which Landlord will be willing to sell after the expiration of time
for performance by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (together with its
successors and assigns, "MIT") under its right of first refusal with respect to
the Adjacent Building and after first offering the Premises, Land and Building
to MIT and MIT declining to so purchase the Premises, Land and Building. If
Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's notice, indicates
in writing its desire to acquire the Premises, Land, Building or the Adjacent
Building, or any part thereof, as the case may be, Landlord and Tenant shall,
for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice, negotiate the
necessary documentation regarding Tenant's agreement 'to so purchase the
Premises, Land and Building or the Adjacent Building or such part thereof, as
the case may be, subject to and in accordance with the principal terms stated in
Landlord's notice. If written agreement is reached between Landlord and Tenant,
Landlord shall sell and convey the Premises, Land and Building or the Adjacent
Building or the part thereof, as the case may be, to Tenant on the terms in the
signed written agreement. If Landlord and Tenant so enter into a written
agreement regarding the Tenant's purchase of the Premises, Land and Building or
the Adjacent Building or part thereof, as they case may be, and thereafter
Tenant defaults in its obligation, the Right to Negotiate shall expire and
terminate for all purposes. If Tenant does not indicate its interest within the
initial fifteen (15) day period, or if Landlord and Tenant fail to enter into a
signed written agreement regarding Tenant's acquisition

                                        5
<PAGE>
of the Premises, Land and Building or the Adjacent Building, or a part thereof,
as they case may be, within the additional thirty (30) day period which begins
upon receipt of Tenant's notice of intent, Landlord thereafter shall have the
right to sell and convey the Premises, Land and Building, or the Adjacent
Building or such part thereof, as the case may be, to any third party, and upon
the closing of such sale, the Right to Negotiate shall expire and terminate for
all purposes. If Landlord does not so sell and convey the Premises, Land and
Building or the Adjacent Building or such part thereof, as the case may be,
within one year, any further transaction shall be deemed a new determination by
Landlord to sell and convey the Premises, Land and Building or the Adjacent
Building or such part thereof, as the case may be, and the provisions of this
Section 2.4 shall be applicable. If Tenant purchases all of the Premises, Land
and Building this Lease shall terminate on the date title vests in Tenant, and
Landlord shall remit to Tenant all prepaid and unearned rent. If Tenant
purchases a part thereof, this Lease as to the part purchased shall terminate on
the date title vests in Tenant, and the Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent
shall be reduced so that Tenant continues to pay $8.25 per square foot, triple
net, for the Second Floor of the Building, and $28.00 per square foot, triple
net, for the First Floor and Lower Level of the Building as the same may be
adjusted pursuant to Section 3.2 below during the Original Term, or the
corresponding rent per square foot during the Extension Terms based on the
adjustment(s) contained in Section 3.2 below. The Right to Negotiate shall not
apply to a transfer (either outright or in trust) between any of those persons
who constitute the beneficial owners or principals of Landlord, the relatives by
blood or marriage of any of those persons, or to a legal entity (i.e.,
partnership, corporation, trust, or like entity) when the majority interest is
owned by all or some of. such persons, or any transfer by gift or for nominal
consideration, so long as the Premises continue to be subject to this Lease,
including this Section 2.4. An affidavit of an officer, trustee or principal of
Landlord recorded with the Middlesex South District Registry of Deeds stating
that the provisions of. this Section 2.4 have been complied with or met as to
any conveyance of all or any portion of the Premises shall conclusively
establish compliance therewith as to any third party or parties.

force and effect; (ii) Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable
period of notice and. grace, if any; and (iii) Tenant is in actual occupancy of
at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right
to negotiate for any space which becomes available and is under Landlord's
exclusive control in the Adjacent Building. Tenant acknowledges and recognizes
that the Adjacent Building is currently leased to MIT and Landlord does not have
control over MIT's sublet rights. If Landlord determines to lease all or any
portion of the Adjacent Building at anytime during the Original Term or the
Extension Terms, Landlord shall so notify Tenant. If Tenant, within fifteen (15)
days after the receipt of Landlord's notice indicates in writing its agreement
to enter into lease negotiations for such space in the Adjacent Building,
Landlord and Tenant shall each thereafter negotiate in good faith and attempt to
reach mutually acceptable lease terms within fifteen (15) days from the date of
such notice from Tenant to Landlord regarding the Tenant' s. desire to so lease
the Adjacent Building and if such terms are reached within said fifteen (15)
days, thereafter enter into a lease within thirty (30) days from the date of
such agreement for such Adjacent Building substantially in the form of this
Lease but on the terms reached by mutual agreement. If Landlord and Tenant enter
into a written lease agreement pursuant to which Tenant agrees to lease the
Adjacent Building and Tenant thereafter defaults in its obligation to so lease
space, the negotiation right contained in this Section 2.5 shall expire and
terminate for all purposes. If Tenant does not indicate its agreement

                                        6
<PAGE>
within said fifteen (15) days or if Landlord and Tenant do not enter into a
written lease agreement within the time frame provided in this Section 2.5,
Landlord thereafter shall have the right to lease the Adjacent Building to any
third party and Tenant's rights under this Section 2.5 shall expire and
terminate for all purposes.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                      Rent

     3.1 Annual Fixed Rent. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay rent to Landlord,
at the Original Address of Landlord or such other place as Landlord may by
notice in writing to Tenant from time to time direct during the Term, in the
amount of the Annual Fixed Rent as set forth in Section 1.1 above and as
adjusted pursuant to this Article III, in equal monthly installments in advance
on the first day of each calendar month during the Term, commencing on the Rent
Commencement Date. Annual Fixed Rent for any portion of a calendar month at the
beginning or the end of such period shall be prorated accordingly.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.1 to the contrary, Annual Fixed
Rent for the period from the Lease Commencement Date throughout December 31,
1994 shall be $580,000 (the "First Year Fixed Rent"). First Year Fixed Rent is a
base rent for calendar year 1994 and Tenant remains liable and responsible for
all additional rent or parking license fees otherwise due under the terms and
conditions of this Lease.

     3.2 Adjustments to Annual Fixed Rent. The Annual Fixed Rent provided for in
Section 1.1 shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.2.1 and
Section 3.2.2 below. On adjustment of the Annual Fixed Rent as provided in
Section 3.2.1 and Section 3.2.2, the parties hereto shall immediately execute an
amendment to this Lease stating the new Annual Fixed Rent.

          3.2.1 Adjustment to Annual Fixed Rent For Extension Term. Not less
than eighteen (18) months nor more than twenty (20) months prior to the
commencement of the Extension Terms, Tenant may notify Landlord that it desires
to establish Annual Fixed Rent for the applicable Extension Term; whereupon
Landlord shall immediately enter into negotiations with Tenant to set such
Annual Fixed Rent. If within thirty (30) days after said notification Landlord
and Tenant have not reached agreement on the Annual Fixed Rent for the
applicable Extension Term, then within ten (10) days after said thirty (30) day
period, Landlord and Tenant shall each name an appraiser and the Annual Fixed
Rent for the Extension Term shall be determined by appraisal in the following
manner: The two appraisers thus named shall promptly name a third appraiser. If
the two appraisers shall not have agreement upon a third appraiser within ten
(10) days after the end of the previous ten (10) day period, either Landlord or
Tenant may request the then President of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board or
the successor of such Board to appoint the third appraiser. The third appraiser
shall be a member of the Appraiser's Institute or otherwise qualify as an expert
in the appraisal of commercial real estate. The three appraisers thus selected
shall promptly proceed to determine:

     A. with respect to the first Extension Term:

                                        7
<PAGE>
          (i) with respect to the Second Floor of the Building the fair and
equitable Annual Fixed Rent for the Extension Term, such determination to be
based on the fair rental value of the leasehold interest demised hereby on
January 1, 1997. In determining such rental value the appraisers shall consider
commercial real estate in Cambridge, Massachusetts in general and specifically
those properties which have been renovated to office, research and development,
laboratory and manufacturing use, provided, however that the appraisers shall
not consider the value of any improvements which have been installed in or added
to the Second Floor which have been paid for by Tenant, whether during or prior
to the term of this Lease; and (ii) with respect to the First Floor and Lower
Level of the Building the fair and equitable Annual Fixed Rent for the extension
term, such determination to be based on 95% of the then current fair market rent
for first-class laboratory, research and development space in Cambridge,
Massachusetts leased for similar periods and upon substantially similar terms
and conditions as provided in this Lease, excluding the value of any additional
improvements to the First Floor and Lower Level of the Building paid for by
Tenant but specifically including replacements of all improvements existing on
the Lease Commencement Date (including, but not limited to. the equipment.
listed on Exhibit C). The appraisers shall make such a determination in writing
to Landlord and Tenant no later than sixty (60) days prior to January 1, 1998.

     B. with respect to the Second Extension Term:

          (i) with respect to the Second Floor of the Building the fair and
equitable Annual Fixed Rent for the Extension Term, such determination to be
based on the fair rental value of the leasehold interest demised hereby on
January 1, 2002.

In determining such rental value the appraisers shall consider commercial real
estate in Cambridge, Massachusetts in general and specifically those properties
which have been renovated to first class research and development, laboratory
and-manufacturing use, in comparable condition and equipped comparably to the
Second Floor of the Building on January 1, 2002 leased for similar periods and
upon substantially similar terms and conditions as provided in this Lease; and
(ii) with respect to the First Floor and Lower Level of the Building the fair
and equitable Annual Fixed Rent for the extension term, such determination to be
based on 95% of the then current fair market rent for first-class laboratory,
research and development space in Cambridge, Massachusetts leased for similar
periods and upon substantially similar terms and conditions as provided in this
Lease, excluding the value of any additional improvements to the First Floor and
Lower Level of the Building paid for by Tenant but specifically including
replacements of all improvements existing on the Lease Commencement Date
(including, but not limited to the equipment listed on Exhibit C). The
appraisers shall make such a determination in writing to Landlord and Tenant no
later than sixty (60) days prior to January 1, 2003.

          The parties agree to provide appropriate relevant information and
otherwise to assist the appraisers in arriving in a prompt determination. The
expenses of appraisal shall be shared equally between Landlord and Tenant but
each party shall pay its own counsel fees. The appraisers shall determine a fair
and equitable annual base rent which may be greater but not less than Annual
Fixed Rent for the Original Term, as adjusted by Section 3.2.2. below with
respect to the First Extension Term and not less than Annual Fixed Rent for the
first Extension Term, as adjusted by Section 3.2.2 below with respect to the
second Extension Term. If, following the

                                        8
<PAGE>
determination of Annual Fixed Rent for the extended term whether by agreement of
the parties or by appraisal. hereunder, Tenant exercises its option to extend
the Term granted under Section 2.3 above, the fair and equitable Annual Fixed
Rent so determined shall be and become the Annual Fixed Rent hereunder in effect
beginning with the first day of the Extension Term.

          3.2.2 Adjustment to Annual Fixed Rent Based Upon Consumer Price Index.
Beginning on January 1, 1996 and at the commencement of every second calendar
year thereafter during the Term and the first Extension Term (specifically
excluding the second Extension Term) the Annual Fixed Rent provided for in
Section 1.1 applicable to the Second Floor of the Building shall be adjusted as
follows:

          The base for computing the-adjustment is the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers - All Items for the Boston metropolitan area, published by
the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics ("Index"),
which is in effect on November 1, 1993 ("Beginning Index"). The Index published
most immediately preceding the Adjustment Date ("Extension Index") is to be used
in determining the amount of the adjustment. If the Extension Index has
increased over the Beginning Index, the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extension Term
shall be set as follows:

          (a) the Annual Fixed Rent set forth in Section 1.1 applicable to the
Second Floor of the Building shall be multiplied by the figure obtained by
dividing the Extension Index by the Beginning Index (the total of which shall be
the "CPI Rent"); and

          (b) the difference between the CPI Rent and the Annual Fixed Rent set
forth in Section 1.1 applicable to the Second Floor of the Building shall be
multiplied by seventy percent (70%), the product of which shall be added to
Annual Fixed Rent set forth in Section 1.1 applicable to the Second Floor of the
Building to determine Annual Fixed Rent and the total Annual Fixed Rent shall be
adjusted accordingly.

     In no event whatsoever shall the Annual Fixed Rent by way of a CPI
adjustment be less than the Annual Fixed Rent set forth in Section 1.1, as
adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.2.2. If the Index is discontinued or revised
during the Term, such other government index or computation with which it is
replaced shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would
be obtained if the Index had not been discontinued or revised.

     3.3 Additional Rent. In order that the Annual Fixed Rent shall be
absolutely net to Landlord, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay either directly
or to Landlord, as additional rent, all real estate taxes, betterment
assessments, insurance costs, and charges for utilities and other services with
respect to the Building as hereinafter provided in this Lease. All amounts
payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be additional
rent and shall be paid within twenty (20) days after Tenant's receipt of
Landlord's statement itemizing such charges together with invoices therefor. In
the event Tenant. pays such real estate taxes betterment assessments insurance
costs and charges for utilities and other services with respect to the building.
directly to the authority charged with the collection thereof, Tenant shall
provide Landlord written evidence of the payment thereof within ten (10)
business days after receipt of Landlord's request for such evidence with respect
to all items other than real estate taxes and

                                        9
<PAGE>
municipal betterments, which Tenant shall provide to Landlord within ten (10)
days of the payment thereof.

     3.4 Real Estate Taxes.

          3.4.1 Building. Tenant shall pay, subject to Tenant's right to contest
any such tax in good faith, all taxes levied or assessed by or becoming payable
to any municipality or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction of
the Land and Building, for or in respect of the ownership, leasing or operation
of the Land and Building or which may become a lien on the Land and Building,
for each tax period wholly included in the Term, all such payments to be made at
least ten (10) days before the last date on which the same may be paid without
interest or penalty; provided that for any fraction of a tax period included in
the Term at the beginning (beginning on the Lease Commencement Date) or end
thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within twenty (20) days after receipt of
Landlord's invoice therefor, the fraction of taxes so levied or assessed or
becoming payable which is allocable to such included period. Nothing contained
in this Lease shall, however, require Tenant to pay any franchise, corporate,
estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy or transfer tax of Landlord, or
any net income, profits or revenue tax or charge upon the rent payable by Tenant
under this Lease.

          3.4.2 Parking Lot. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent,
Tenant's proportionate share of real estate taxes applicable to the Parking Lot.
For purposes of this. section, Tenant's proportionate share of taxes for the
Parking Lot shall equal the total number of parking spaces which Tenant is
leasing under the terms of this Lease and any Additional Parking Spaces licensed
by Tenant for the applicable period over the total number of parking spaces in
the Parking Lot. If the number of Additional. Parking Spaces licensed by Tenant
during a tax year fluctuates, the proportionate share shall be calculated on a
pro rata basis.

     3.5 Betterment Assessments.

          3.5.1 Premises. Tenant shall pay, 100% of each installment of any
public, special or municipal betterment assessment levied or assessed by or
becoming payable to any municipality or other governmental authority having
jurisdiction of the Land and Building, for or in respect of the ownership,
leasing or operation of the Land and Building or which may become a lien on the
Land and Building, for each installment period wholly included in the Term, all

aggregate of said Tax Fund Payments is not adequate to pay all said taxes and
assessments, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount by which such aggregate is
less than the amount equal to all said taxes and assessments, such payment to be
made on or before the later of (a) twenty (20) days after receipt by Tenant of
written notice from Landlord of such amount, or (b) the 30th day prior to the

Areas.

          (b) Tenant's proportionate share of operating and maintenance expenses
attributable to the Parking Lot. For purposes of this Section, Tenant's
proportionate share of maintenance expenses applicable to the Parking Lot shall
equal the total number of parking spaces which Tenant is leasing under the terms
of this Lease and any Additional Parking Spaces licensed by Tenant for the
applicable period over the total number of parking spaces in the Parking Lot. If
the number of Additional Parking Spaces licensed by Tenant during an applicable
operating year fluctuates, the proportionate share shall be calculated on a pro

termination thereof.

          (f) All policies of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant
shall name Tenant and Landlord as the insured as their respective interests may
appear. If Landlord so requires', the proceeds of insurance covering damage to

pursuant to the standard mortgagee clause. All such policies shall provide that
any loss shall be payable to Landlord or to the holder of any mortgage
notwithstanding any act or negligence of Tenant which might otherwise result in
forfeiture of such insurance. All such policies shall contain an agreement by
the insurers that such policies shall not be cancelled without at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the Landlord and to the holder. of any
mortgage to whom loss hereunder may be payable.

          (g) Landlord may from time to time request Tenant to obtain additional
or alternative insurance. So long as said coverage is reasonable and customary
Tenant shall obtain such insurance.

                                       19
<PAGE>
In the event Tenant breaches any covenant or condition set forth in this Section
6.2, then without limiting any other right or remedy and not withstanding any
other provision herein concerning notice or cure of defaults, Landlord may,
after ten (10) days written notice to Tenant, obtain such insurance as Tenant is
required to obtain and maintain, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof and
Landlord's reasonable expenses thereto to Landlord as additional rent.

     6.3 Tenant's Risk. Tenant agrees that 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 or the Parking Lot, shall 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 pipes or by theft or from any other cause, no part of said loss or
damage is to be charged to or be borne by Landlord, except that Landlord shall
in no event be exonerated from any liability to Tenant or to any person, for any
injury, loss, damage or liability to the extent such exoneration is prohibited
by law.

     6.4 Subrogation. Any insurance carried by either party with respect to the
Premises, or any property therein or occurrences thereon, shall, without further
request by either party, if it can be so written without additional premium, or
with an additional premium which the other party elects to pay, include a clause
or endorsement denying to the insurer rights of subrogation. against the other
party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured prior to occurrence
of injury or loss. Each party, notwithstanding any provisions of this Lease to
the contrary, hereby waives any rights of recovery against the other for injury
or loss, including, without limitation, injury or loss caused by negligence of
such other party, due to hazards covered by insurance containing such clause or
endorsement to the extent of the indemnification received thereunder.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                           CASUALTY AND EMINENT DOMAIN

     7.1 Casualty During Term. If, during the Term, the Building shall be
damaged as a result of casualty, the following provisions shall apply.

          (a) The term "Substantially Damaged," as used in this Article VII,
shall refer to damage of such a character that the same cannot, in ordinary
course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within 180 days from the time that
repair work would commence or which would cost in excess of seventy-five
thousand dollars ($75,000) to repair.

          (b) If the Building shall be damaged, Tenant shall, subject to the
matters described in subparagraph (c) below and except as otherwise provided in
this Article VII, proceed promptly to restore the Building (consistent, however,
with governmental laws and codes then in existence) to substantially the
condition thereof at the time of such damage, but Tenant shall not be
responsible for delay in such restoration which may result from External Causes,
as hereinafter defined. For purposes of this Lease, External Causes shall mean
(i) Acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, strikes or
other extraordinary and unforeseeable labor difficulties, extraordinary and
unforeseeable shortages of labor or materials

                                       20
<PAGE>
or equipment, government order or regulations or other cause not reasonably
within Tenant's control and not due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, and (ii)
any act, failure to act or neglect of Landlord or Landlord's servants, agents,
employees, licensees or any person claiming by, through or under Landlord, which
actually delays Tenant in the performance of any act required to be performed by
Tenant under this Lease.

          (c) Tenant's restoration obligations described in subparagraph (b)
above are conditioned upon Tenant receiving sufficient proceeds from insurance
covering the Building to .repair the same (less any applicable deductible for
which Tenant shall be solely responsible) unless (i) insurance proceeds are
unavailable as a result of Tenant's failure to insure the Building as required
by the terms and conditions of this Lease or (ii) insurance proceeds are
unavailable as a result of Tenant's acts or omissions, in which cases Tenant
shall be obligated to either (x) restore the Building in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof or (y) pay to or for the account of the Landlord the
full amount of insurance which would have been payable under the last policies
of insurance approved by Landlord. If the Building is not restored or is unable
to be restored, any insurance proceeds which are not on account of Tenant's
removable personal property shall be paid to or for the account of Landlord.

          (d) If the Building shall be Substantially Damaged within the last
twelve (12) months of the Term (as the same may have been extended hereunder),
either party shall have the right, by giving notice to the other not later than.
90 days after such damage, to terminate this Lease, whereupon this Lease shall
terminate as of the date of such notice.

     7.2 Condemnation. Except as hereinafter provided, if the Premises, or such
portion thereof as to render the balance (if reconstructed to the maximum
extent-practicable in the circumstances) unsuitable for Tenant's purposes, shall
be taken by eminent domain, Landlord and Tenant each shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by notice to the other of its desire to do so, provided
that such notice is given not later than thirty (30) days after the effective
date of such taking. Should any part of the Premises be so taken, and should
this Lease be not terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
Landlord agrees to use due diligence to put what may remain of the Premises
(consistent, however, with governmental laws and codes then in existence) into
proper condition for use and occupation as nearly like the condition of the
Premises prior to such taking as shall be practicable, but Landlord shall not be
required to expend funds in excess of the damages recovered by Landlord as a
result of such taking.

     7.3 Abatement of Rent. If the Premises shall-be damaged by casualty, the
Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent shall be justly and equitably abated and
reduced according to the nature and extent of the loss of use thereof suffered
by Tenant; and in case of a taking which permanently reduces the area of the
Premises, a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent and additional rent shall
be so abated and reduced for the remainder of the Term.

     7.4 Condemnation Award. Landlord shall have and hereby reserves and
excepts, and Tenant hereby grants and assigns to Landlord, all rights to recover
for damages to the Premises, and the leasehold interest hereby created, and all
rights to compensation accrued or hereafter to accrue by reason of such taking,
damage or destruction, as aforesaid, and by way of confirming the foregoing,
Tenant hereby grants and assigns to Landlord all rights to such damages or
compensation. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from
prosecuting

                                       21
<PAGE>
in any condemnation proceedings a claim for relocation expenses, provided that
such action shall not affect the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable by
Landlord from the taking authority pursuant to the preceding sentence.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                     DEFAULT

     8.1 Tenant's Default. In the event that:

          (a) Tenant shall fail to pay the Annual Fixed Rent, additional rent or
any other charges for which provision is made herein on or before the date on
which the same become due and payable, and such condition continues for five (5)
days after notice from Landlord to Tenant that the same are due, unless the
failure to pay the foregoing items when due occurs in any year during which
Landlord has previously given Tenant notice of default twice, in which event the
failure to pay when due shall constitute an event of default without notice; or

          (b) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other term or
condition contained in this Lease and Tenant shall not cure such failure within
thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant thereof or, if such
failure cannot be cured within such thirty (30) days, if Tenant shall fail to
commence to cure such failure within such thirty (30) days and promptly and
diligently complete the curing of the same, and shall in any event complete the
cure within ninety (90) days; or

          (c) The estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other
process of law, or if Tenant shall be judicially declared bankrupt or insolvent
according to law, or if any assignment or trust mortgage arrangement, so-called,
shall be made of the property of Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or if a
receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy or other similar officer
shall be appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of Tenant's
property by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if a petition shall be filed
by Tenant under any provisions of the federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar
federal or state law now or hereafter enacted or if a petition shall be filed
against Tenant thereunder and the same is not dismissed within ninety (90) days,
or if Tenant shall file such a petition, then, in any such case, 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 due
process of. law, (forcibly if necessary) enter into and upon the Premises or any
part thereof by any lawful means or mail a notice of termination addressed to
Tenant at the Premises, and repossess the same as of Landlord's former estate,
and expel Tenant and those claiming by, through or under Tenant and remove its
and their effects by any lawful means (forcibly if necessary) without being
deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies
that 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, as fully
and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the
expiration of the Term (Tenant hereby waiving any rights of redemption), and
Tenant will then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall
remain liable as hereinafter provided.

                                       22
<PAGE>
     8.2 Damages. In the event that this Lease is terminated under any of the
provisions contained in Section 8.1 or shall be otherwise terminated for breach
of any obligation of Tenant, Tenant covenants to pay to Landlord forthwith on
Landlord's demand, as compensation, in addition to any other amounts to which
Landlord may be entitled, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
discounted present value of the total rent reserved for the residue of the Term
or the Extension Term if so exercised, over the then discounted present fair
rental value of the Premises for the residue of the Term. In calculating the
rent reserved, there shall be included, in addition to the Annual Fixed Rent and
all additional rent, the value of all other considerations agreed to be paid or
performed by Tenant for said residue. Tenant further covenants as an additional
and cumulative obligation after any such termination to pay punctually to
Landlord all the sums and 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 under the next foregoing covenant, Tenant shall be
credited with (a) any amount received from Tenant under the first sentence of
this Section 8.2; and (b) the net proceeds of any rent obtained by reletting the
Premises, after deducting all Landlord's 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 may (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, and may grant such concessions and free
rent as Landlord in its reasonable commercial 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 commercial 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 Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to attempt to relet the
Premises, but shall be entitled to seek to rent other properties of Landlord
prior to reletting the Premises.

     8.3 Remedies Cumulative. The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort
under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be
exclusive of each other or of any other remedies or means of redress to which
Landlord maybe lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by
Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. In addition to the other remedies
provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the restraint by
injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to a decree compelling
specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions in the
event a legal remedy will be insufficient. Nothing contained in this Lease shall
limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings
for bankruptcy, insolvency or like proceedings, 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, equal to, or less than
the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

     8.4 Landlord's Election. If Tenant shall at any time default in the
performance of any obligation under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation, upon fifteen (15) days' notice to Tenant (except in case
of emergency in which case no notice need be given), to perform such obligation,
notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such

                                       23
<PAGE>
substituted performance is made in this Lease with. respect to such default. In
performing such obligation, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) make any
payment of money or perform any other act, and all sums so paid by Landlord and
all necessary incidental costs and expenses thereof, including, without
limitation, reasonable legal fees in connection with enforcement of its rights
under this Section incurred by Landlord, together with interest on all such
amounts at two percent (2%) above the First National Bank of Boston's large
business prime rate from time to time in effect, shall be deemed to be
additional rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord immediately on
demand. Landlord may exercise its rights under this Section without waiving any
other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this
Lease.

     8.5 Effect of Waivers of Default. Any consent or permission by Landlord to
any act or omission which otherwise would be a breach of any covenant or
condition herein, or any waiver by Landlord 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, or to
operate to permit similar acts of omission.

     8.6 No Waiver. No waiver by Landlord shall be valid unless in writing and
signed by Landlord, and the failure of Landlord 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 waiver of such breach by Landlord unless such waiver be in
writing signed by the party to be charged. No consent or waiver, express or
implied, by Landlord to 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.

     8.7 No Accord and Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum
than the Annual 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, 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 in this Lease provided.

     8.8 Delivery of Keys. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or
to Landlord's agent or any employee thereof shall not operate as a termination
of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

     8.9 Attorneys' Fees. Tenant agrees, as additional rent, to pay all
reasonable costs, counsel and other fees incurred by Landlord in connection with
the successful enforcement by Landlord of any obligations of Tenant under this
Lease.

                                   ARTICLE IX

which the holder will agree to recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease
and 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 such
holder as Landlord in such event, which agreement shall be made to expressly
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 and upon
the further condition that any such mortgagee agrees in its recognition
agreement to make insurance proceeds available to Tenant provided that Tenant
shall be obligated to use such proceeds solely to repair and restore the
Building and provided further that Tenant agrees to commence repair and
restoration as soon as practical after the event of casualty and to diligently
pursue said repair and restoration until completion.

     9.3 Limitation on Tenant's Rights. Notwithstanding Sections 9.1 or 9.2
above, unless the holder of such a mortgage, lien or other encumbrance of the
Premises otherwise agrees in writing, no such holder shall be obligated to

of this Lease, to such mortgage, or other encumbrance.

     9.4 Exercise of Mortgagee's Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Lease, in no event shall Tenant's rights under Section 2.4 apply to any
exercise of remedies by any mortgagee, or holder of a similar interest in the
Premises, including, without limitation, any foreclosure sale or any conveyance
by deed in lieu of foreclosure.

     9.5 Further Assurances. Tenant agrees, upon Landlord's request, promptly
(but in any event within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's request) to execute
and deliver such documents and instruments as Landlord may reasonably request to
carry out the agreements contained in this Article IX.

                                       25
<PAGE>
     9.6 No Prepaid Rent. No Annual Fixed Rent, additional rent, or any other
charge payable to Landlord shall be paid more than thirty (30) days prior to-the
due date thereof under the terms of this Lease, and payments made in violation
of this provision shall (except to the extent that such payments are actually
received by a mortgagee) be a nullity as against such mortgagee, and Tenant
shall be liable for the amount of such payments to such mortgagee.

additional period of five (5) years, commencing on January 1, 2004 and expiring
on December 31, 2008. Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term of
this Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the extension

Lease shall be deemed to be deleted and of no further force or effect. Landlord
and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant is currently in possession and occupancy of
the Premises. Tenant hereby accepts the Premises, as-is, in the condition

Lease remains subject and subordinate to the existing rights of MIT.

     5. Brokerage. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other
that neither of them has employed or dealt with any broker, agent or finder in
carrying on the negotiations relating to this Amendment to the Lease other than

hold Landlord harmless from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or
other commissions asserted by any broker, agent or finder engaged by Tenant or
with whom Tenant has dealt, other than the Broker. Landlord shall indemnify and
hold Tenant harmless from and against any claim or claims for brokerage or other
commissions asserted by the Broker engaged by Landlord.

     6. Miscellaneous. Tenant hereby acknowledges that (i) Landlord has no

the Premises, or, to Tenant's actual knowledge, otherwise; (ii) there are no
offsets or defenses that Tenant has against the full enforcement of the Lease by
Landlord; (iii) neither Landlord nor Tenant is in any respect in default under
the Lease; and (iv) Tenant has not assigned, transferred or hypothecated the
Lease or any interest therein or subleased all or any portion of the Premises.

     7. Ratification. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the
Original Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and as further modified by
this Amendment, is expressly ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto.

     8. Governing Law; Interpretation and Partial Invalidity. This Amendment
shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the Commonwealth

subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior dealings between them with
respect to such subject matter. No delay or omission on the part of either party
to this Amendment in requiring performance by the other party or exercising any
right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any provision hereof or any rights
hereunder, and no waiver, omission or delay in requiring performance or
exercising any right hereunder on any one occasion shall be construed as a bar
to or waiver of such performance or right on any future occasion.

     9. Successors. This Amendment shall he binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns,
subject to the provisions of the Lease regarding assignment and subletting.

     10. Counterparts and Authority. This Amendment may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute one and the same document, Tenant warrants that the
person or persons executing this

                               CONSENT TO SUBLEASE

     THIS CONSENT TO SUBLEASE (this "Consent") dated as of July 23, 2004, is
made with reference to that certain sublease (the "Sublease") dated July 23,
2004, by and between Transkaryotic Therapies, Inc. ("Tenant") and Altus
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Sublessee"), and is entered into between the foregoing
parties and Benjamin L. Wilson Jr., individually; Harry F. Stimpson Jr.,
individually; John W. Stimpson, Wallace I. Stimpson, and Anne G. Stimpson, each
individually, as successors in interest to the Edward S. Stimpson Trust; and
John W. Stimpson and J. Louis Newell, as trustees under the will of Harry F.
Stimpson (collectively, "Landlord"), having an address c/o Meredith & Grew, 160
Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110 with reference to the following facts:

     A. Landlord and Tenant are the parties to that certain Lease dated November
28, 1993, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated April 13,
1998 and that certain Second Amendment to Lease, dated December 23, 2002 (as so
amended, the "Master Lease"), pursuant to which Tenant leased 48,000 square feet
of space (the "Premises") in the building located at and commonly known as 195
Albany Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts (the "Building"), as more fully set
forth in the Master Lease.

     B. Tenant is not currently in occupancy of any portion of the Premises.

     C. Tenant and Sublessee wish to enter into the Sublease respecting
approximately 16,000 rentable square feet on the first floor of the Building as
more particularly described in the Sublease ("Sublease Premises") for a term
which will expire on December 31, 2008.

     D. The Master Lease provides that Tenant may not enter into any sublease
without Landlord's prior written approval.

     E. Tenant and Sublessee have presented the fully-executed Sublease to
Landlord for Landlord's approval, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a
part hereof as Exhibit A, and Landlord hereby approves such Sublease, subject to
all of the terms and conditions hereinafter appearing.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

     1. Neither the Master Lease, the Sublease nor this Consent shall be deemed
to grant Sublessee any rights whatsoever against Landlord. Sublessee hereby
acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy for any alleged or actual breach of
its rights in connection with the Sublease Premises shall be solely against
Sublandlord.

     2. This Consent shall not release Tenant from any existing or future duty,
obligation or liability to Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease, nor shall this
Consent change, modify or amend the Master Lease in any manner. This Consent
shall not be deemed Landlord's consent to any further subleases.

     3.

          (a) In the event of Master Lease Termination (as hereinafter defined)
prior to the termination of the Sublease, and on condition that (i) Sublessee is
not then in default beyond any

                                        5
<PAGE>
applicable notice and cure period under the Sublease, (ii) Sublessee is then in
occupancy of the entire Sublease Premises, and (iii) Sublessee cures any then
outstanding obligations of Tenant under the Master Lease (any of which
conditions may be waived by Landlord in its sole discretion), Sublessee, at its
option (which shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a)),
shall attorn to Landlord and recognize Landlord as Sublessee's landlord, and
Landlord shall accept Sublessee as its tenant, upon all of the executory terms
and conditions of the Master Lease, including without limitation the rental and
all other payment and performance obligations stated therein, and for the then
remaining term of the Master Lease (the "Master Lease Attornment"). Landlord
shall promptly notify Sublessee of any Master Lease Termination (the
"Termination Notice"), and the Termination Notice shall identify all outstanding
obligations of Tenant under the Master Lease which Landlord requests Sublessee
to cure (the "Outstanding Defaults"). Sublessee shall notify Landlord within ten
(10) days of receipt of the Termination Notice if Sublessee shall (i) elect to
accept the Master Lease Attornment as provided above and (ii) cure the
Outstanding Defaults.

          (b) If Sublessee either (i) notifies Landlord it will not accept the
Master Lease Attornment, or (ii) fails to respond to the Termination Notice
within the period specified above, then Landlord may elect to require that
Sublessee attorn to Landlord and to recognize Landlord as Sublessee's landlord
under the Sublease, upon the terms and conditions and at the rental rate
specified in the Sublease, and for the then remaining term of the Sublease (the
"Sublease Attornment"). Landlord shall elect such Sublease Attornment by written
notice to Sublessee given within ten (10) days after (A) receipt of Tenant's
notice that it will not accept the Master Lease Attornment, or (B) the
expiration of the ten (10) day period under clause (a) above upon Sublessee's
failure to so respond. If Landlord either (i) notifies Sublessee it will not
require the Sublease Attornment, or (ii) fails to respond to the notice from
Sublessee within the ten (10) day period specified above, then Sublessee shall
vacate the Premises within thirty (30) days after (A) receipt of Landlord's
notice that it will not require the Sublease Attornment, or (B) the expiration
of the ten (10) day period under this clause (b) if Landlord shall fail to
deliver such notice within such period.

          (c) Sublessee agrees to execute and deliver at any time and from time
to time, upon request of Landlord, any instruments which may be necessary or
appropriate to evidence either the Master Lease Attornment or Sublease
Attornment, as applicable (as applicable, the "Attornment"), provided the same
are in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Sublessee. In the event of
such Attornment, Landlord shall not (i) be liable to Sublessee for any act,
omission or breach of the Master Lease or Sublease by Tenant, (ii) be subject to
any offsets or defenses which Sublessee might have against Tenant, (iii) be
bound by any rent or additional rent which Sublessee might have paid more than
one month in advance to Tenant, or (iv) be bound to honor any rights of
Sublessee in any security deposit made with Tenant except to the extent Tenant
has turned over such security deposit to Landlord. Tenant shall immediately pay
or transfer to Landlord any security deposit required under the terms of the
Sublease. Sublessee hereby agrees that Tenant's option to elect the Master Lease
Attornment in the event of Master Lease Termination shall be subject to and
conditioned upon Sublessee paying to Landlord any amount of the security deposit
under the Master Lease that is not then held by Landlord provided Sublessee is
notified as such as an Outstanding Default in the Termination Notice, but
Sublessee shall be credited against such amount for any portion of the security
deposit paid under the Sublease and delivered by Tenant to the Landlord.

          (d) "Master Lease Termination" means any termination, cancellation,
foreclosure or other event, which by voluntary or involuntary act or by
operation of law, causes the Master Lease to

                                        6
<PAGE>
be terminated, canceled, foreclosed against, or otherwise come to an end,
including but not limited to (1) a default by Tenant under the Master Lease of
any of the terms or provisions thereof; (2) the rejection of the Master Lease in
bankruptcy by Tenant; or (3) the termination of Tenant's leasehold estate by
dispossession proceeding or otherwise.

          (e) In the event of Attornment hereunder, Landlord's liability shall
be limited to matters arising from and after such Attornment, and in the event
that Landlord (or any successor owner) shall convey or dispose of the Building
to another party, such party shall thereupon be and become landlord hereunder
and shall be deemed to have fully assumed and be liable for all obligations of
this Consent or the Sublease or Master Lease, as applicable, to be performed by
Landlord which first arise after the date of conveyance, including the return of
any security deposit, and Tenant shall attorn to such other party, and Landlord
(or such successor owner) shall, from and after the date of conveyance, be free
of all liabilities and obligations hereunder not then incurred. The liability of
Landlord to Sublessee for any default by Landlord under this Consent or the
Sublease or Master Lease, as applicable, after such attornment, or arising in
connection with Landlord's operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation,
alteration, or any other matter relating to the Building or the Sublease
Premises, shall be limited to the interest of the Landlord in the Building (and
proceeds thereof). Under no circumstances shall any present or future trustee,
beneficiary, or general partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a partnership) have
any liability for the performance of Landlord's obligations under this Consent
or the Sublease.

     4. In addition to Landlord's, rights under Section 3 hereof, in the event
Tenant is in default under any of the terms and provisions of the Master Lease,
Landlord may elect to receive directly from Sublessee all sums due or payable to
Tenant by Sublessee pursuant to the Sublease, and upon receipt of Landlord's
notice, Sublessee shall thereafter pay to Landlord any and all sums becoming due
or payable under the Sublease and Tenant shall receive from Landlord a
corresponding credit for such sums against any payments then due or thereafter
becoming due from Tenant. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Sublessee
shall be entitled to rely upon such notice from Landlord and any payment by
Sublessee to Landlord pursuant to such notice shall satisfy Sublessee's
obligations under the Sublease. Neither the service of such written notice nor
the receipt of such direct payments shall cause Landlord to assume any of
Tenant's duties, obligations and/or liabilities under the Sublease, nor shall
such event impose upon Landlord the duty or obligation to honor the Sublease.

     5.

          (a) Sublandlord and Sublessee acknowledge and agree that Landlord
shall have no obligations whatsoever, whether under the Master Lease or this
Consent, to perform any work to prepare the Sublease Premises for Sublessee's
occupancy, nor shall Landlord have any obligations with respect to the condition
of the Premises during the term of the Sublease except as required under the
Master Lease. In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to perform any
alterations, repairs or improvements of any nature arising as a result of any
work or thing done or performed by Sublessee in, on, under or to the Premises or
the Property, including, without limitation, any obligation that Landlord may
otherwise be required to perform under the Master Lease.

          (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Consent shall
not be deemed Landlord's consent to any improvements or alterations that
Sublessee may propose to perform in or to the Premises, either prior to its
initial occupancy or thereafter during the term of the Sublease, and

                                        7
<PAGE>
Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that any alterations or modifications to the
Property that may be necessary for any reason in connection with Sublessee's
improvements or alterations, whether structural or non-structural, and no matter
where located on the Property, shall be performed by Sublessee at Sublessee's
sole cost and expense, subject to Landlord's prior consent, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed for nonstructural improvements or
nonstructural alterations, so long as the same do not, in Landlord's reasonable
judgment, diminish the value of the Premises or require unusual expense to
readapt the existing office areas to normal office use and/or to readapt the
existing laboratory areas to normal laboratory use, and Landlord shall have no
obligations to perform any such alterations or modifications, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Master Lease.

          (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord hereby
approves the Subtenant's Work (as defined in the Sublease) as and to the extent
such Subtenant's Work is set forth and described in Exhibit B to the Sublease.
To the extent that any portion of Subtenant's Work is not adequately set forth
in the general scope of work and floor plan layout attached as Exhibit B to the
Sublease, or to the extent more detail is later provided or any changes or
modifications to such Exhibit B are proposed, such detail, and changes shall
require Landlord's prior consent as and to the extent set forth in this Consent
and the Master Lease. Subtenant's Work shall be performed subject to and in
accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, including,
without limitation, the provisions of Sections 4.3 and 4.4. Without limiting
anything contained in the Lease, Sublessee agrees that it will not remove any
Subtenant's Work and will surrender such Subtenant's Work to Landlord upon the
expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease.

     6. Landlord, shall endeavor to provide Sublessee with a concurrent copy of
any notice of default to Tenant under the Master Lease, and to the extent that
such default is capable of cure by Sublessee, Sublessee shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to cure such default on behalf of Tenant. Tenant hereby
acknowledges such right of Sublessee to perform such obligations of Tenant and
agrees that Landlord may accept such cure in respect of such default of Tenant.

     7. Without limiting anything contained in the Master Lease as incorporated
into the Sublease, regarding Sublessee's obligations upon surrender of the
Sublease Premises, to the extent applicable to Sublessee's use of the Premises,
Sublessee agrees with Landlord and Tenant that it shall complete (i) the
Radioactive Material Decontamination in accordance with Exhibit B-l, (ii) the
Hazardous Chemicals removal in accordance with Exhibit B-2; and (iii) the
Hazardous Biologicals removal in accordance with Exhibit B-3. Landlord and
Sublandlord acknowledge and agree that Sublessee does not currently plan to use
radioactive materials within the Sublease Premises and until such time as
Sublessee utilizes such materials in all or any portion of the Sublease
Premises, the requirements of subsection (i) shall be inapplicable to Sublessee.
To the extent applicable, Sublessee shall perform the foregoing obligations at
Sublessee's sole cost and expense, and in compliance with all federal state and
local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, any decommissioning or
decontamination requirements imposed by any licenses or permits maintained by
Sublessee in connection with the conduct of its business in the Sublease
Premises, and the terms and conditions of the Master Lease as affected by this
Consent. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination, Sublessee shall deliver
to Landlord copies of all applicable closure certifications from governmental
authorities with jurisdiction over such decommissioning, including, without
limitation, Agency Form 120.100-3 from the Radiation Control Program of the
Massachusetts Department of Public Health (or equivalent information
satisfactory to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health) with respect to
any

                                        8
<PAGE>
portions of the Sublease Premises that have been contaminated with radioactive
materials. If Sublessee shall fail to deliver the Sublease Premises to Landlord
in the condition required by this paragraph, such failure shall constitute a
holding over by Tenant under the Master Lease.

     8. Sublessee hereby acknowledges that it has read and has knowledge of all
of the terms, provisions, rules and regulations of the Master Lease and agrees
not to door omit to do anything which would cause Tenant to be in breach of the
Master Lease. Any such act or omission shall also constitute a breach of this
Consent and shall entitle Landlord to recover any damage, loss, cost or expense
which it thereby suffers, from Sublessee, whether or not Landlord proceeds
against Tenant.

     9. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant intends to designate certain areas of
the Premises in common between the Sublessee and Tenant and any future
subtenants of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that such areas remain the sole
obligation of Tenant as a part of the Premises demised under the Master Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right, but shall have no
obligation, to establish and enforce reasonable rules and regulations from time
to time for the safe and proper use of such common areas of the Building.
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to insure that any such rules and
regulations are uniformly enforced, but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
or Sublessee for violation of the same by any occupant of the Premises, or
persons having business with them. Any additional incremental costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, any management costs, with
respect to the regulation of such common areas and enforcement of such rules and
regulations shall be paid by Tenant as additional rent under the Master Lease.
In the event that there shall be a conflict between such rules and regulations
and the provisions of the Master Lease or this Consent, the provisions of the
Lease, as modified by this Consent, shall control.

     10. Sublessee agrees to maintain the same insurance required to be carried
by Tenant under the Master Lease, naming the Landlord as an additional insured
under Sublessee's general liability policies of insurance, and Sublessee further
agrees to waive subrogation in favor of Landlord to the same extent required of
Tenant under said Master Lease, and Landlord hereby agrees to waive subrogation
in favor of Sublessee to the same extent required by Landlord under the Master
Lease.

     11. In the event of any litigation between the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof; the unsuccessful party agrees to pay the
successful party all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred
therein by the successful party, which shall be included as a part of the
judgment therein rendered.

     12. This Consent shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties' respective successors and assigns, subject to all agreements and
restrictions contained in the Master Lease, the Sublease and herein with respect
to subleasing, assignment, or other transfer. The agreements contained herein
constitute the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral,
inconsistent herewith. No amendment, modification or change therein will be
effective unless Landlord shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
This Consent may be amended only in writing, signed by all parties hereto. This
Consent may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
document.

                                        9
<PAGE>
     13. Notices required or desired to be given hereunder shall be effective
either upon personal delivery or three (3) days after deposit in the United
States mail, by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the
Landlord at the address set forth above, or to Tenant or Sublessee at the
address of the Premises or of the. Sublease Premises, respectively. Any party
may change its address for notice by giving notice in the manner hereinabove
provided.

     14. As a condition to the effectiveness of Landlord's consent to the
Sublease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord concurrently with Tenant's delivery of
an executed counterpart hereof, Three Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars
($3,250.00) in reimbursement of Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and
administrative expenses incurred in connection with this Consent, as additional
rent. Landlord's acceptance of such fee shall impose no duty on Landlord to
approve to execute the Sublease.

     15. Tenant and Sublessee agree to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from
and against any loss, cost, expense, damage or liability, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred as a result of a claim by any third party (i) that it
is entitled to a commission, finder's fee or like payment in connection with the
Sublease or (ii) relating to or arising out of the Sublease or any related
agreements or dealings.

        17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

         17.1 JURISDICTION. The parties hereto agree that all disputes arising
in connection with this Agreement shall be subject to binding arbitration and
the arbitrator shall be a retired judge affiliated with JAMS or ADR Services or
similar arbitration service in Los Angeles County, California. This choice of
venue is intended by the parties to be mandatory and not permissive in nature,
thereby precluding the possibility of litigation between or among the parties
with respect to or arising out of this Agreement in any jurisdiction other than
that specified in this section. Each party hereto waives

                                       13

any right that it may have to assert the doctrine forum non conveniens or
similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any proceeding brought in
accordance with this section, and stipulates that the state and federal courts
located in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, shall have in
personam jurisdiction and venue over each of them for the purpose of binding
arbitration relating to any dispute, controversy or proceeding arising out of
this Agreement. Each party hereby authorizes and accepts service of process
sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by
this section by means of registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, to its address for the giving of notices as set forth in this
Agreement, or personal service in accordance with the applicable sections of the
California Code of Civil Procedure. Any final judgment rendered against the
party in any binding arbitration or proceeding shall be conclusive as to the
subject of such final judgment and may be enforced in other jurisdictions in any
manner provided by law.

         17.2 ARBITRATION. Any and all disputes under this Agreement that remain
unresolved after the parties have attempted in good faith to resolve them
through mediation (or if Respondent refuses to attend such mediation) in
accordance with Section 15.1, shall be submitted to binding arbitration to be
had before a retired judge affiliated with JAMS or ADR Services in Los Angeles
County, California. This choice of venue is intended by the parties to be
mandatory and not permissive in nature, thereby precluding the possibility of
litigation between or among the parties with respect to disputes arising out
this Agreement in any jurisdiction other than that specified in this section.
Each party hereto waives any right that it may have to assert the doctrine of
forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to
any proceeding brought in accordance with this section, and stipulates that the
state and federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, State of
California, shall have personal jurisdiction and venue over each of them for the
purpose of binding arbitration relating to any dispute, controversy or
proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. Each party
hereby authorizes and accepts service of process sufficient for personal
jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by this section by means
of registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to
its address for the giving of notices as set forth in this Agreement, or in the
manner set forth in the section of this Agreement pertaining to notice. Any
final judgment rendered against the party in any binding arbitration or
proceeding shall be conclusive as to the subject of such final judgment and may
be enforced in other jurisdictions in any manner provided by law.

         Any party seeking to arbitrate any dispute or controversy pertaining to
this Agreement ("CLAIMANT") shall serve on the other party ("RESPONDENT") a
written brief outlining, in detail, each and every claim made by the Claimant
and a brief recitation of the facts supporting each claim. Respondent will then
have ten (10) business days to serve a written response, outlining, in detail,
each and every defense to Claimant's claims, and each and every counterclaim of
Respondent, and a brief recitation of the facts supporting each defense and
counterclaim. Claimant will then have five (5) business days to serve a written
reply brief. The parties shall select by mutual agreement a retired judge to
serve as arbitrator of the dispute. If the parties are unable to agree on an
arbitrator within fifteen (15) business days after the date that Claimant's
written reply brief is due as specified above, Claimant shall notify JAMS or ADR
Services of its claims and JAMS or ADR Services shall select a retired judge to
serve as arbitrator of this matter. The arbitrator will then decide whether the
circumstances of a particular dispute require a hearing. If a hearing is
required, it will be scheduled within fifteen (15) calendar days of the due date
of the Claimant's reply brief. The decision of the arbitrator will be made

                                       14

within fifteen (15) calendar days after the hearing or the due date of
Claimant's reply brief in the event no hearing is required. The award entered by
the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall include specifically all findings
of fact and conclusions of law. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and
binding on the parties from which no appeal may be taken. Prior to the
appointment of the arbitrator, either party may seek provisional remedies,
including, but not limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary
injunctions, in any court having jurisdiction thereon. Judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any state or federal court in Los
Angeles County, California. The parties specifically incorporate, as applicable,
the provisions of Section 1280 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure
and the parties shall have the right to conduct discovery prior to the
arbitration hearing in accordance with Section 1283.05 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of California, and of the United States District Court for the Central
District of the State of California for all purposes in connection with
arbitration. Each party shall bear its respective arbitration expenses and shall
each pay fifty percent (50%) of the arbitrator's charges and expenses. The
arbitrator shall award attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party. The
prevailing party shall be determined by the arbitrator. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties may seek any provisional remedy available at law or in
equity in any state or federal court in Los Angeles County, California without
compromising the right and obligation to arbitrate ultimately and finally all
disputes arising out of this Agreement.
