At Tenant’s sole cost and expense (against which the Landlord’s Contribution may be applied), Tenant shall cause the Plans to be revised in a manner sufficient to remedy the Landlord’s objections and/or respond to the Landlord’s concerns and for such revised Plans to be redelivered to Landlord, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove Tenant’s revised Plans within ten (10) Business Days following the date of resubmission. Landlord’s failure to timely respond to Tenant’s submitted Plans or revised Plans shall be deemed to be an approval thereof.

The Plans shall be stamped by a Massachusetts registered architect and engineer, such architect and engineer and Tenant’s construction manager, general contractor and subcontractors, being subject to Landlord’s prior reasonable approval, and shall comply with Applicable Law and the requirements of the Rules and Regulations and shall be in a form satisfactory to appropriate governmental authorities responsible for issuing permits, approvals and licenses required for such Initial Work.

After Landlord’s Contribution is exhausted, Tenant shall then pay from its own funds all further sums necessary to complete the Initial Work and any Expansions; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay no less than Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) towards the completion of the Initial Work and any Expansions on or before December 31, 2006, as set forth above, as may be extended pursuant to Section 7.7.

Tenant shall have the right to install exterior signage on the Buildings bearing Tenant’s name and logo and a monument sign (which may be shared with other Park tenants) at the Park entrance provided that such signs or lettering comply with law and conform to any sign standards of Landlord and/or the Park, and provided that Tenant has submitted to Landlord a plan or sketch in reasonable detail (showing, without limitation, size, color, location, materials and method of affixation) of the sign to be placed on such entry doors. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold consent for any such sign which complies with the foregoing. Tenant shall not otherwise place on the exterior of the Buildings (including both interior and exterior

12

surfaces of doors and interior surfaces of windows) or on any part of the Property, to the extent visible to the public, any sign, symbol, advertisement or the like.

6.3         Other Requirements. Tenant agrees to conform to the following provisions during the Term of this Lease:

(a)           Tenant shall not perform any act or carry on any practice which materially may injure the Premises, or any other part of the Buildings or the Property, other than that arising from normal wear and tear, nor shall approved Alterations constitute material injury so long as constructed in conformity with this Lease;

(b)           Tenant shall, in its use of the Premises, comply with Applicable Law;

(c)           Tenant shall abide by the Rules and Regulations for the Property and the Park which may be established from time to time by Landlord or the Park. In the event that there shall be a conflict between such Rules and Regulations and the provisions of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall control. The Rules and Regulations currently in effect are set forth in Exhibit C; and

(d)           Tenant shall not abandon the Premises.

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

6.5          Hazardous Materials.

(i)            “Hazardous Materials” shall mean each and every element, compound, chemical, mixture, contaminant, pollutant, material, waste or other substance which is defined, determined or identified as hazardous or toxic under any Environmental Law, including, without limitation, an “oil,” “hazardous waste,” “hazardous substance,” or “chemical substance or mixture,” as the foregoing terms (in quotations) are defined in Environmental Laws, as defined below.

ARTICLE 7
INSTALLATIONS AND ALTERATIONS BY TENANT

7.1          General. Tenant shall make no alterations, additions (including, for the purposes hereof, wall-to-wall carpeting), or improvements (collectively with the Initial Work and the Expansions, “Alterations”) in or to the Premises (including without limitation any Alterations, other than the Initial Work which is governed by ARTICLE 5, necessary for Tenant’s initial occupancy of the Premises) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed with respect to Alterations that do not materially affect the Structure (as defined below) of the Buildings, the Buildings’ heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (“HVAC”), life safety, electrical, plumbing, mechanical or utility systems or any other Building systems (collectively, the “Building Systems”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for Alterations costing an aggregate of less than $100,000 in any twelve (12) month period if such Alterations do not materially affect the Structure (as defined below) of the Buildings, the Buildings’ HVAC or any other Building Systems. Any Alterations shall be performed and maintained in accordance with the Rules and Regulations and with plans and specifications meeting the requirements set forth in the Rules and Regulations and approved in advance by Landlord.

7.2          Requirements for Alterations. All Alterations shall (i) be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Applicable Law, including the requirement that Tenant obtain any and all permits and approvals required of the applicable government authorities, (ii) be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, (iii) become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord, (unless at the time of Landlord’s approval of such Alterations, Landlord elects in writing to require or permit Tenant to remove the same upon Tenant’s surrender of the Premises) except for Tenant’s Removable Property, as defined in Section 7.3 below, and (iv) be coordinated with any work being performed by Landlord in such a manner as not to damage the Buildings or interfere with the construction or operation of the Buildings. If any Alterations shall involve the removal of fixtures, equipment or other property in the Premises which are not Tenant’s Removable Property, such fixtures, equipment or other property shall be promptly replaced by Tenant at its expense with new fixtures, equipment or other property of like utility and of at least equal quality.

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

7.4          Liability; Mechanics’ Liens. Notice is hereby given, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor or materials (or the cost therefor) furnished or to be furnished to Tenant upon credit, and that no mechanic’s or other lien for any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the reversion or other estate or interest of

15

Landlord in and to the Property or any portion thereof. To the maximum extent permitted by law, before such time as any contractor commences to perform the Initial Work or other Alterations, Tenant shall obtain from such contractor (and any subcontractors), and shall furnish to Landlord, a written statement acknowledging the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and, at Landlord’s request, Tenant shall, before commencing its Alterations, secure additional assurances satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion protecting Landlord against claims arising out of the furnishing of labor and materials for such Alterations. Tenant agrees to pay promptly when due the entire cost of any Alterations, and not to cause or permit any liens for labor or materials performed or furnished in connection therewith to attach to all or any part of the Property and to immediately discharge any such liens which may so attach. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any lien is filed against all or any part of the Property for Alterations claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant or Tenant’s Agents or independent contractors, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause such lien to be dissolved within twenty-five (25) days after receipt of notice that such lien has been filed, by the payment thereof or by the filing of a bond sufficient to accomplish the foregoing and shall deliver to Landlord evidence thereof within three (3) business days of such dissolution. Any notice by Landlord to Tenant shall refer to the obligation to comply within such twenty-five (25) day period. If Tenant fails to discharge any such lien within such time period, Landlord may, at its option, discharge such lien and treat the cost thereof (including Attorneys’ Fees incurred in connection therewith) as Additional Rent payable by Tenant upon demand, it being expressly agreed that such discharge by Landlord shall not be deemed to waive or release a Default of Tenant in not discharging such lien. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all expenses, liens, claims, liabilities and damages based on or arising, directly or indirectly, by reason of the making of any Alterations, which obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

7.5          Intentionally Omitted.

7.6          Telecommunications. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to install, in accordance with Landlord’s roof installation requirements, telecommunications, HVAC, generators, and other mechanical devices on the roof of the Buildings in order to (a) serve Tenant’s needs, but such facilities shall not interfere in any way with the operations of any other tenants or occupants of the Park and shall not adversely affect any roof warranty and (b) shall comply with all provisions of this Article VII with respect to Alterations. Tenant shall further have the right to connect such facilities to available utilities and use shaft space to make the required connections. All of the foregoing shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

7.7          Building Expansions. Subject to the following provisions, Tenant shall have the right to expand at Tenant’s sole discretion, cost and expense, having the right to apply any portion of Landlord’s Contribution to such expansions if and when Tenant’s Termination Right has expired without exercise, (a) Building No. 68 by up to 5,400 rentable square feet in a single story (“Expansion 1”) and (b) Building No. 78 by (i) up to 10,600 rentable square feet in a single story (“Expansion 2”) and (ii) up to an additional 10,600 rentable square feet in a second story of the addition referenced in subsection (b)(i) (“Expansion 3”) singularly, an “Expansion” and (collectively, the “Expansions”). The Tenant’s rights to construct the Expansions shall be subject to (a) the availability of rights under all Applicable Law and all recorded documents affecting or governing the Park or any portion thereof or affecting title to the Property; (b)

16

Tenant’s receipt of the following permits and approvals from the Town of Hopkinton to the extent required for Expansion 1 and Expansion 2 (collectively, the “Permits”): (1) zoning board of appeal and/or planning board approval of modification of pre-existing, non-conforming Building No. 68 and (2) sewer connection permit (or approval of current or expanded septic system(s)) sufficient to service Expansion 1 and Expansion 2; and (c) Tenant’s payment of all costs related to design, permitting, approval, implementation and construction of any Expansions and all required parking areas and other improvements which are required therefor. Tenant shall make good faith efforts to obtain the Permits and shall diligently pursue such Permits and shall provide Landlord with copies of all applications and other submittals related thereto prior to or simultaneously with delivery to the appropriate official. In the event Tenant is denied one or more of the Permits (a “Denial”), Tenant shall provide notice of such Denial to Landlord within five (5) days following such Denial. Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to appeal such Denial to the applicable administrative or judicial entity and the right but not the obligation to prosecute such appeal through to completion at Landlord’s sole cost and expense except that Tenant agrees to cooperate in any such appeal with costs related to Tenant’s employees and consultants in connection therewith to be Tenant’s obligation (“Landlord’s Appeal Right”). In the event Tenant, despite using good faith efforts, cannot obtain the Permits, with applicable appeal periods expiring without appeal of an issued permit or approval (unless any such appeal is settled in favor of issuance of the permit or approval) by June 1, 2005 (the “Permit Target Date”), Tenant shall have the right within ten (10) days thereafter, time being of the essence thereof, to terminate this Lease by written notice to the Landlord (“Tenant’s Termination Right”); however, any such notice shall not terminate this Lease if (A) Landlord successfully obtains all necessary, remaining Permits through exercise of Landlord’s Appeal Right or otherwise on or before December 31, 2005, in which case, the Expiration Date shall remain unchanged and Tenant’s exercise of Tenant’s Termination Right shall be null and void, but the dates for completion of the Initial Work, expenditure of the Landlord’s Contribution, the SS End Date, and the Initial Expiration Date shall all be extended on a day for day basis equivalent to the number of days between the Permit Target Date and the date on which Landlord successfully obtains the last of the Permits. In the event all necessary Permits are not obtained on or before December 31, 2005, then if Tenant has timely exercised Tenant’s Termination Right, the term of the Lease shall thereafter terminate and expire on December 31, 2006 (the “Modified Expiration Date”) at which time this Lease shall terminate, Tenant shall surrender the Premises, as required in this Lease, all security deposits and letters of credit shall be returned as and when required by ARTICLE 18, and neither party shall have any further rights, responsibilities or obligations hereunder except provisions specifically stated to survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in obtaining the Permits (and any permits for Expansion 3) by executing applications or documents authorizing Tenant to proceed before boards, attending hearings if necessary, and making land and/or additional parking spaces available on the Property, or on land then owned by Landlord which abuts, is adjacent to, or is in reasonable proximity with the Property, to comply with Applicable Law with respect to the Expansions, including, but not limited to floor area ratios, green space requirements, lot coverage requirements, and parking requirements; however, in no event shall Landlord be required to incur out-of-pocket costs or liability in connection with the Expansions or any of the foregoing matters related thereto or to limit its rights to further develop the Park as set forth below. Upon the construction of Expansions, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to construct such parking spaces as

17

aforesaid, as necessary to meet any municipal zoning parking requirements, in an area then owned by Landlord and reasonably designated by Landlord so long as such land abuts, is adjacent to, or in reasonable proximity with the Property, as local approvals may require them to be built. If any Expansion is constructed by Tenant, Base Rent during the Initial Term shall remain as set forth in Section 1.1. Upon the commencement of construction of any of the Expansions, such Expansions shall become part of the Premises for all purposes hereunder. Any further expansion of the Buildings (other than the Expansions) shall occur only upon a written amendment to this Lease as executed by Landlord and Tenant. The plans attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 depict the current proposal for the Expansions and parking area changes which are expected to be proposed to the Town of Hopkinton by Tenant.

Construction of the Expansions shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Lease, including without limitation, those relating to Alterations. The plans and specifications for the Expansions shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the work shall be performed by a contractor or contractors approved by Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may elect to obtain permits and/or construct additional buildings and/or building additions in the Park and that obtaining such permits and/or construction of the same may adversely affect Tenant’s ability to obtain permits and/or construct one or more of the Expansions because of the reduction of available land required to comply with zoning and other regulatory requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that Landlord will take no action to obtain, or to permit any other party to obtain, a building permit for any such additional building and/or building addition prior to January 1, 2006 if the same would have such an adverse effect.

ARTICLE 8
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

8.1          Prohibition. Tenant covenants and agrees that, except as permitted herein, neither this Lease nor the estate hereby granted, nor any interest herein or therein, will be assigned (collaterally, conditionally or otherwise), mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and that neither the Premises nor the Property, nor any part thereof, will be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the part of Tenant, or be sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include granting of concessions, licenses, use and occupancy agreements and the like) in whole or in part, without in each case, the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed provided that any such assignee or subtenant agrees directly with Landlord, by written instrument in form satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, to be bound by all obligations of Tenant under this Lease (with respect only to the subleased premises in the case of a sublease), including without limitation, the covenant limiting assignment and subletting and containing such other provisions as are consistent with this Lease. Tenant further agrees that notwithstanding any assignment or sublet of any or all of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (irrespective of whether or not Landlord’s consent is required therefor), Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the payment and performance of its obligations hereunder, and in the case of assignment such liability shall be joint and several with such assignee or assignees from time to time. Any consent by Landlord to

18

a particular assignment, sublease or occupancy or other act, from time to time, for which Landlord’s consent is required pursuant to this ARTICLE 8, and any provision of this Lease which permits an assignment, sublease or occupancy or other act without Landlord’s consent shall not in any way diminish the prohibition stated in this Section 8.1 as to any such further assignment, sublease or occupancy or other act or the continuing liability of the original named Tenant or of any assignee from time to time. Assignment of the Lease or a sublease of all or a portion of the Premises to a parent, affiliate, or subsidiary of Tenant shall be permitted hereunder without the consent of Landlord. Any assignee or subtenant shall be obligated to enter into a written instrument in form satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion agreeing to be bound by all obligations of Tenant under this Lease (with respect only to the subleased premises in the case of a sublease), including without limitation, the covenant against further assignment and subletting.

8.2          Additional Events Deemed to be Assignment/Sublet. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the following events shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be an assignment/sublet of this Lease and shall be subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE 8: (i) Tenant entering into any agreement pursuant to which a third party undertakes or is granted by or on behalf of Tenant the right to assign or attempt to assign this Lease or to sublet or attempt to sublet all or any portion of the Premises; (ii) the transfer (by one or more transfers) of a controlling portion of or interest in (meaning more than fifty percent (50%)) of the voting rights or stock or partnership or membership interests or other evidences of equity interests of Tenant; provided, however, that a transfer (i) of equity interests in Tenant on a nationally recognized public stock exchange, (ii) of all or a portion of the equity interest of Tenant to a parent, affiliate, or subsidiary of Tenant, (iii) of all or substantially all the equity interests of Tenant arising from a merger of Tenant with another entity or acquisition of Tenant by another entity, or (iv) of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant to another entity shall not be deemed an assignment for which Landlord’s consent is required within the meaning of this ARTICLE 8.

8.3          Provisions Incorporated Into Sublease. Any sublease of all or a portion of the Premises shall be deemed to include the following provisions (notwithstanding any provision of the sublease to the contrary) and such provisions shall be deemed included in any Landlord consent agreement: (i) the term of the sublease must end no later than one day before the last day of the Term of this Lease; (ii) no sublease shall be valid, and no sublessee shall take possession of all or any part of the Premises until a fully executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord; (iii) such sublease is subject and subordinate to this Lease and the provisions hereof; and (iv) in the event of termination of this Lease for any reason or reentry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, in its sole discretion and option, take over and assume all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease, whereupon, from and after notice thereof given by Landlord to such sublessee, such sublessee shall attorn to Landlord and pay rent and perform all obligations of such sublessee under such sublease for the full term of such sublease directly to Landlord, such sublease, from and after such notice, constituting a direct lease between Landlord and such sublessee; provided, however, that Landlord shall not (A) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease; (B) be subject to any credit, claim, defense or offset previously accrued in favor of such sublessee against Tenant; (C) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease made without Landlord’s prior written consent or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent; or (D) be required to account for, or be responsible for, any security deposit not

19

actually delivered to Landlord, and then, only to the extent not previously applied to amounts due. If a Default of Tenant occurs and Landlord elects to take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant as sublessor under such sublease and to cause such sublessee to attorn to Landlord, all as provided above, then for the purposes of the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE 8 only, by execution of a sublease, each such subtenant shall be deemed to have agreed that such subtenant and Landlord shall be in privity of contract with each other.

8.4         Collection of Rent. If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease, or sublets or allows occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof by any party other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE 8, Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, collect rent and other charges from any assignee and only from and after a Default of Tenant from any sublessee or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent and other charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, sublease, occupancy, collection or modification of any provisions of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, sublessee or occupant as a tenant or a release of Tenant from the payment and further performance of obligations on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder.

8.5          Excess Payments. If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease or sublets or otherwise permits occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof, Landlord shall be entitled to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all Profits (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Profits” means the amount, if any, by which (a) all compensation received by Tenant as a result of such assignment or sublease, or other occupancy, net of (a) reasonable expenses actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease or other occupancy with such reasonable expenses to be amortized without interest over the remaining Term (or, with respect to fit-up costs, the useful life thereof, if greater than the remaining Term) (the “Amortized Costs”) and (b) up to $1,600,000 in the aggregate of hard construction costs actually paid out of pocket by Tenant between the date hereof and December 31, 2005 only for Initial Work and work related to the Expansions (with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord with respect to such actual out of pocket payments having been delivered to Landlord by December 31, 2006) as ratably amortized without interest over the remaining Term, specifically excluding Landlord’s Contribution and allowance under Section 5.2, and with such Amortized Costs and such excess payments to be recalculated upon any extension or renewal of the Term hereof, exceeds (b) in the case of an assignment, the Rent under this Lease, and in the case of a sublease or other occupancy, the portion of the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises subject to such subletting or other occupancy. Together with Tenant’s notice and/or request for Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublet, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a schedule of anticipated Profits and a schedule of anticipated Amortized Costs. All payments due pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be made on a monthly basis concurrently with Tenant’s payment of Basic Rent hereunder. Landlord shall have the right, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Tenant, to review Tenant’s books and records with respect to such excess payments at no out-of-pocket cost to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8.5 shall impose no obligation on Landlord to consent to any assignment/subletting/occupancy with respect to this Lease.

8.6          Payment of Landlord’s Costs. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as Additional Rent, for any out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and expenses) incurred by Landlord in connection with each actual or proposed assignment, sublease,

20

occupancy agreement, or other act described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 or other request for approval or execution of any document whatsoever whether or not consummated, including without limitation, the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of a proposed assignee, sublessee or occupant. Tenant shall have the right, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Landlord, to review Landlord’s books and records with respect to such out-of-pocket costs at no out-of-pocket cost to Landlord.

8.7          Conditions to Effectiveness of Assignment/Sublet. Any assignment, sublease or occupancy agreement shall not be valid or binding on Landlord and no assignee, sublessee or occupant shall take possession of all or any portion of the Premises unless and until (i) Tenant, Landlord and the assignee, sublessee, or occupant have each executed a consent agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord (which consent agreement shall provide, among other things, that said assignee, sublessee or occupant agrees to be independently bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed, except in the event of a sublease of only a portion of the Premises, in which case such obligations shall only apply to the portion being sublet, and shall otherwise comply with this ARTICLE 8), (ii) Tenant has delivered to Landlord a fully executed counterpart of such assignment, sublease or occupancy agreement acceptable to Landlord, together with a final schedule of expected Profits and a final schedule of expected Amortized Costs, (iii) Tenant has paid to Landlord any sums required pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof, and (iv) Tenant has delivered to Landlord evidence (in the form of a certificate of insurance using Acord 27 or equivalent) of compliance by the assignee/sublessee with the insurance provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 9

Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord agrees to (i) keep the parking lots and driveways in good condition, properly lit, and reasonably free of snow and ice, (ii) keep and maintain all landscaped areas in the outdoor portions of the Property in a neat and orderly condition, (iii) maintain, repair and replace the Structure of the Buildings excluding the Alterations; provided, however, that Tenant (and not Landlord) shall be responsible with respect to any condition caused by or related to (A) any misconduct or neglect of Tenant, its Agents, invitees or independent contractors, or (B) the Alterations or Tenant’s Removable Property. As used herein, the term “Structure” means the exterior walls, load bearing portions of the walls, columns, beams, concrete slab, footings, structural beams of the roof, and all Landlord Utilities, as defined in Section 10.2 in each case as necessary to preserve the load bearing capacity thereof, Landlord also shall not be responsible for any maintenance, repair or replacement at the Premises other than as expressly set forth in this Section 9.1.

Provided Tenant complies with its repair and maintenance obligations under this Lease and its obligations under Section 5.2, Landlord shall, at its expense, make any necessary replacements of the roof and the rooftop HVAC units as required in Landlord’s reasonable determination, in the case of the roof, in order to maintain the roof in a watertight condition and, in the case of the rooftop HVAC units, to provide substantially the levels of heating, ventilating and air conditioning which the same provide as of the date hereof.

21

All of the costs of Landlord pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 shall be included in Operating Expenses, including without limitation, capital replacements, as set forth in Exhibit B, Paragraph 6 unless specifically excluded from Operating Expenses pursuant to the provisions of Exhibit B.

Landlord shall never be liable for any failure to perform any of its maintenance, repair or replacement obligations under this Lease unless Tenant has given notice to Landlord of the need to perform the same, and Landlord fails to commence to perform the same within a reasonable time thereafter, or fails to proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such performance.

9.2         Tenant’s Obligations.

(a)           Except to the extent specifically required of Landlord under Section 9.1, Tenant will keep the Premises and every part thereof neat and clean including without limitation arranging for trash removal and disposal with respect thereto. Tenant further agrees to keep in good order, condition and repair (including replacement of) each and every part of the Premises, including without limitation, window glass, the roof (excluding the structural beams thereof and excluding the replacement of the roof to the extent that the same is Landlord’s obligation under Section 9.1 after the initial replacement thereof by Tenant under Section 5.2) and all Building Systems (excluding replacement of the rooftop HVAC units to the extent that the same is Landlord’s obligation under Section 9.1), and all Tenant Utilities, as defined in Section 10.2 and all other improvements at the Premises, and Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, at the end of the Term, in such condition, subject to normal wear and tear to carpeting and painted interior surfaces. Without limitation, Tenant shall comply with Applicable Law and the standards recommended by the local Board of Fire Underwriters applicable to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, and shall, at Tenant’s expense, timely obtain all permits, licenses and the like required thereby.

There shall be excluded from Taxes: (A) all income, estate, succession, franchise, inheritance and transfer taxes of Landlord; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so that a capital levy, franchise, income, profits, sales, rental, use and occupancy, excise or other tax or charge shall in whole or in part be substituted for, or added to, such ad valorem tax and levied against, or be payable by, Landlord with respect to the Property or any portion thereof or the Park or any portion thereof, such tax or charge shall be included in the term “Taxes” for the purposes of this Article; (B) any item to the extent otherwise included in Operating Expenses; (C) any environmental assessments, charges or liens arising in connection with the remediation of Hazardous Materials from the Premises or Buildings, the causation of which arose (1) prior to the Commencement Date of the Prior Leases, or (2) after the Commencement Date of the Prior Leases, to the extent not caused by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, independent contractors or invitees or Zymark or Zymark’s Agents, independent contractors or invitees or Tenant’s or Zymark’s sublessees or assignees; (D) costs or fees payable to public authorities separate from the ordinary tax bill in connection with any future construction, renovation and/or improvements by Landlord within the Park other than the Expansions or the Initial Work, including exactions for transit, housing, schools, open space, child care, arts programs, environmental impact reports, traffic studies, and transportation system management plans; and (E) reserves for future Taxes, except as set forth in subsection (c) below. Additionally, interest and penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s late payment of Taxes shall not be included in the definition of Taxes unless Tenant was late in its payment of Taxes to Landlord. Because the Property is commonly assessed with other real property, Taxes shall include only Taxes on the Property and the Property’s proportionate share of any Park tax assessment not attributable to a particular building based upon the ratio of the rentable square footage of the Premises Rentable Area from time to

25

time to the rentable square footage of all of the Buildings on all of the real property in the Park from time to time (the “Park Share”).

(b)           For the portion of the Term through and including June 30, 2005, Tenant shall pay taxes in accordance with the Prior Leases, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by this reference for such purpose and from and after the commencement of Fiscal Year 2006, that is, July 1, 2005, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes, such amount to be apportioned for any portion of a Tax Year in which the Term Commencement Date falls or the Term expires.

(c)           Estimated payments by Tenant for Taxes shall be made on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term of this Lease, in the fashion herein provided for the payment of Basic Rent. Tenant’s monthly estimated payment for Taxes shall be sufficient to provide Landlord with a sum equal to 1/12 of Tenant’s required payment for Taxes for the then current Tax Year, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time. Once annually, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the amount of the tax bills for the prior Tax Year and the computation of Tenant’s required payment for Taxes. If estimated payments for Taxes theretofore made by Tenant for the Tax Year covered by such bills exceed the required payment for Taxes for such Tax Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Tenant for Taxes (or promptly refund such overpayment if requested by Tenant, or if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but if the required payments for Taxes for such Tax Year are greater than estimated payments for Taxes theretofore made for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after being so advised by Landlord in writing, and the obligation to make such payment for any period within the Term shall survive expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

11.2        Abatement. If Landlord shall receive any tax refund or reimbursement of Taxes or sum in lieu thereof (a “Tax Refund”) with respect to any Tax Year all or any portion of which falls within the Term, then out of any balance remaining of the Tax Refund, after deducting Landlord’s expenses in obtaining same unless such expenses have been paid by Tenant, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, provided there does not then exist a Default of Tenant, an amount equal to such Tax Refund apportioned if such refund is for a Tax Year a portion of which falls outside the Term) multiplied by Tenant’s Proportionate Share; provided, that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive more than the payments for Taxes made by Tenant for such Tax Year pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 11.1.

(b)           Estimated payments by Tenant for Operating Expenses shall be made on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term of this Lease, in the fashion herein provided for the payment of Basic Rent. The monthly amount so to be paid to Landlord shall be sufficient to provide Landlord by the end of each Operating Year a sum equal to Tenant’s required payment for Operating Expenses for such Operating Year, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time during each Operating Year. Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of each Operating Year, Landlord or Landlord’s Agent shall submit to Tenant a reasonably detailed statement of Operating Expenses for the prior Operating Year, and Landlord or Landlord’s Agent shall certify to the accuracy thereof. If estimated payments for Operating Expenses theretofore made by Tenant for such Operating Year exceed Tenant’s required payment for Operating Expenses for such Operating Year according to such statement, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses (or promptly refund such overpayment if requested by Tenant or if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but if the required payments for Operating Expenses for such Operating Year are greater than the estimated payments (if any ) theretofore made by Tenant for Operating Expenses for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after being so advised by Landlord in writing, the difference between the estimated and required Operating Expense Payments, and the obligation to make such payment for any period within the Term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

(c)           Tenant shall have the right to examine, copy and audit Landlord’s books and records establishing Operating Expenses for any Operating Year for a period of one (1) year following the date that Tenant receives the statement of Operating Expenses for such Operating Year from Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice of its intention to examine and audit such books and records, and such examination and audit shall take

27

place at such place within the continental United States as Landlord routinely maintains such books and records, unless Landlord elects to have such examination and audit take place in another location designated by Landlord in the city and state in which the Property is located. Any such audit shall be conducted by a certified public accountant, and all costs of the examination and audit shall be borne by Tenant; provided, however, that if such examination and audit establishes that the actual Operating Expenses for the Operating Year in question are less than the amount set forth as the annual Operating Expenses on the annual statement delivered to Tenant by at least five percent (5%), then Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of such examination and audit. If, pursuant to the audit, the payments made for such Operating Year by Tenant exceed Tenant’s required payment on account thereof for such Operating Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent obligations of Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses (or promptly refund such overpayment if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but, if the payments made by Tenant for such Operating Year are less than Tenant’s required payment as established by the examination and audit, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after conclusion of the examination and audit, and the obligation to make such payment for any period within the Term shall survive expiration of the Term. Tenant shall not be permitted to engage an auditor which is paid on a contingency or percentage basis unless Landlord approves of such auditor in writing either prior to or after the execution of this Lease. Landlord hereby pre-approves the Tenant’s use of RRG and P. Stevens Associates, Inc. If Tenant does not elect to exercise its right to examine and audit Landlord’s books and records for any Operating Year within the time period provided for by this paragraph, Tenant shall have no further right to challenge Landlord’s statement of Operating Expenses.

If (a) the Premises or any Building is damaged by fire or other casualty, or (b) all or part of any Building is taken by right of eminent domain; and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 14.1, Landlord shall thereafter use reasonable efforts (to the extent practicable in Landlord’s reasonable determination in light of the nature of any taking or the election by Landlord’s lender to apply all or a portion of any resulting insurance proceeds to the repayment of Landlord’s loan) to restore such Building(s) and the Premises (excluding all Alterations) to proper condition for Tenant’s use and occupation, provided that Landlord’s obligation shall be limited to the amount of insurance and eminent domain proceeds available therefor. If, for any reason, such restoration shall not be substantially completed within twelve (12) months after the expiration of the ninety (90) day period referred to in Section 14.1 (which twelve (12) month period may be extended for such periods of time as Landlord is prevented from proceeding with or completing such restoration due to Force Majeure, but in no event for more than an additional three (3) months), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord thereof within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such period as so extended) provided that such restoration is not completed within such period. Upon such termination, this Lease shall cease and come to an end without further liability or obligation on the part of either party (except with respect to obligations which are expressly stated herein to survive expiration or termination) thirty (30) days after such giving of notice by Tenant unless, within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord substantially completes such restoration subject to the completion of minor “punch list” items, the completion of which will not materially interfere with Tenant’s business operations. Such right of termination shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for Landlord’s failure so to complete such restoration.

If the Premises or any Building are damaged by fire or other casualty, Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant shall abate proportionately for the period during which, by reason of such damage, Tenant’s use of such Building(s) is prevented, having regard for the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue Tenant’s use of all or an undamaged portion of the Premises due to such damage, but such abatement or reduction shall end if and when either (a) Landlord shall have substantially completed sufficient restoration so that the Premises are in substantially the condition it was in prior to such damage except for all Alterations which shall be completed by Tenant and Tenant has had a reasonable period of time (but in no event more than one hundred eighty (180) days if substantial damage, as defined above, has occurred nor more than ninety (90) days in all other cases) to complete restoration of the Initial Work, the Expansions and any Alterations existing at the time of the fire or other casualty, or (b) Tenant shall have commenced occupancy and use of such Building(s). If the Premises shall be affected by any exercise of the power of eminent domain, Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant shall be justly and equitably abated and reduced according to the nature and extent of the loss of use of such Building(s) suffered by Tenant. In no event shall Landlord have any liability for damages to Tenant for inconvenience, annoyance, or interruption of business arising from any fire or other casualty or eminent domain.

Notwithstanding the preceding, however, Tenant, subject to, and subordinate to, the rights of any mortgage lender of the Landlord with respect to the Property, shall have a right to a share of any portion of a condemnation award which is directly attributable to the Initial Work and the Expansions. The Tenant’s share of the portion of a condemnation award directly attributable to the Initial Work and the Expansions shall be equal to 50% of the then unamortized amount of Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket payments for hard construction costs for the Initial Work and Expansions made by Tenant through December 31, 2005 (up to a maximum amount of $1,600,000.00 in out-of-pocket payments). Such payment amount shall be ratably amortized without interest over the Initial Term. In no event shall Tenant have the right to receive an amount greater than $800,000.00 out of any such award. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in a separate condemnation proceeding a claim for the value of any of Tenant’s Removable Property installed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense and for relocation expenses, provided that such action shall not affect the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the taking authority.

ARTICLE 15
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

15.1      Tenant.

(a)           Estoppel Certificate. For the benefit of any third party lender or prospective third party lender or purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Property, Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate addressed to such party containing such statements of fact with respect to this Lease and the Property as such party reasonably requests. Each request by Landlord for an estoppel shall refer to the obligation to provide the same within such fifteen (15) day period.

(b)           Financial Statements. Tenant shall, except during any period of time when Tenant is listed as a company on any national stock exchange, without charge therefor, at any time (but not more than once annually except in the case of a prospective loan or sale), within ten (10) days following a request by Landlord, deliver to Landlord, or to any other party designated by Landlord, a true and accurate copy of Tenant’s most recent financial statements.

15.2      Landlord.

(a)           Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, on payment of the Rent and observing, keeping and performing all of the other terms and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed, kept and performed, Tenant shall lawfully, peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises during the Term hereof, without hindrance or ejection by any persons lawfully claiming under Landlord to have title to the Premises superior to Tenant. The foregoing covenants of quiet enjoyment are in lieu of any other covenant of title or possession, express or implied.

33

15.3       As to Both Parties.

(a)           Recording. Tenant agrees not to record this Lease, but, if the Term of this Lease (including any extended term) is seven (7) years or longer, each party hereto agrees, on the request of the other, to execute a notice of lease in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, or such other form as may be mandated by the state and/or county in which the Property is located. In no event shall such document set forth the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the provisions contained in this Lease, and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this Lease. At Landlord’s request, promptly upon expiration of or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a release of any document recorded in the real property records for the location of the Property evidencing this Lease, and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute any such document if Tenant fails to respond to Landlord’s request to do so within ten (10) days. The obligations of Tenant under this subsection (a) shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of the Term.

ARTICLE 16
HOLDING OVER; SURRENDER

16.1    Holding Over. Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the Term of this Lease shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rent equal to one and one half (1.50) times the Basic Rent in effect immediately prior to such expiration plus the Additional Rent herein provided (prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, direct and/or indirect, sustained by reason of any such holding over. In all other respects, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable.

16.2    Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises in the condition in which the same are required to be kept pursuant to Section 9.2, together with the Initial Work, and all Alterations (except as hereinafter provided), excepting only ordinary wear and use and damage by fire or other casualty, and/or condemnation for which, under other provisions of this Lease, Tenant has no responsibility to repair or restore. Upon such expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove from the Premises (i) all of Tenant’s Removable Property, (ii) to the extent specified by Landlord in writing at the time of their installation, any Alterations, other than the Initial Work, excluding the Expansions, and all partitions wholly within the Premises unless installed initially by Landlord in preparing the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy; and shall repair any damage to the Premises or the Buildings caused by such removal, and (iii) all telecommunications lines and cabling installed by Tenant within the Premises or elsewhere in the Buildings to the extent exclusively serving the Premises. Any Tenant’s Removable Property which shall remain in the Buildings or on the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and surrender of the Premises by the Tenant, its assignees and subtenants, shall be deemed conclusively to have been abandoned, and either may be retained by Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

34

ARTICLE 17
RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES

17.1    Rights of Mortgagees. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all matters currently of record, including without limitation, deeds, easements and land disposition agreements, and to the lien and terms of any mortgage, or deed of trust (collectively, with any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, a “Mortgage,” and the holder thereof from time to time, and its successors, participants and/or assigns, the “Holder”) from time to time encumbering the Premises and to each advance made thereunder, whether executed and delivered prior to or subsequent to the date of this Lease, unless the Holder shall elect otherwise. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Tenant has executed a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (the “Mass Mutual SNDA”). Landlord shall endeavor to obtain an executed Mass Mutual SNDA from Babson Capital Management LLC (that is, executed as agent for the current mortgagee, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company), within thirty (30) days of the date of execution thereof by Tenant and delivery thereof to Landlord. In the event that upon Tenant’s execution of the Mass Mutual SNDA, said party has not executed the Mass Mutual SNDA within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord in the thirty (30) day period following expiration of the initial thirty (30) day period for delivery of the fully executed Mass Mutual SNDA, provided that any such notice of termination shall be null and void if the Mass Mutual SNDA executed by said party is obtained within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of such notice of termination. If such a termination notice is not rendered null and void as aforesaid, this Lease shall terminate, all security deposits and letters of credit delivered hereunder shall be returned, the Lease shall have no further force nor effect, and neither party shall any further rights, responsibilities or obligations hereunder except such obligations as specifically stated to survive expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Lease and except that the Prior Leases shall be deemed revived and in full force and effect as if this Lease were never executed. With respect to future mortgages, the subordination described above shall take effect only at such time as such mortgagee executes a Subordination, Non- Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (an “SNDA”) (as modified to include specific mortgage references, mortgagee information, and other similar information), it being agreed that Tenant’s execution of the Mass Mutual SNDA or an SNDA shall not be a pre-condition of the subordination of this Lease to any Mortgage. If the Holder or any other party shall succeed to the interest of Landlord (such Holder or other party, a “Successor”), Tenant agrees unconditionally to attorn to the Holder or Successor, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect between the Holder or Successor and Tenant.

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

35

17.3    Notice to Holder. After receiving written notice from Landlord (or any Holder) of any Holder of a Mortgage which includes the Premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord alleging any default by Landlord shall be effective with respect to the Holder of a Mortgage unless and until a copy of the same is given to such Holder (provided Tenant shall have been furnished with the name and address of such Holder), it being agreed that such Holder shall have the same rights to cure as Landlord shall have under Section 19.7 and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such Holder shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

ARTICLE 18
LETTER OF CREDIT/SECURITY DEPOSIT

18.1    Letter of Credit. Within ten (10) days following the execution hereof, Tenant agrees that it shall deliver to Landlord a Letter of Credit (as defined below) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.1. Provided no Default of Tenant shall have occurred under this Lease and is continuing on the applicable date, on or after each of the first seven (7) anniversaries of the Commencement Date, Landlord will permit the Letter of Credit to be reduced by $200,000 as of each such date. Subject to the foregoing conditions, such reduction may occur automatically pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit or on the request of Tenant, Landlord shall accept a replacement Letter of Credit for the reduced amount delivering up the previous Letter of Credit upon receipt of such replacement Letter of Credit.

(a)           Letter of Credit Requirements. As used herein the term “Letter of Credit” means an unconditional irrevocable standby commercial letter of credit that is: (i) in the amount set forth in Section 1.1, but may have the reduction schedule set forth above in Section 18.1 so long as the conditions set forth therein are also included in the Letter of Credit, (ii) issued by a reputable domestic commercial bank or other financial institution, the long-term debt of which is rated at least A- or the equivalent thereof by Standard & Poors Ratings Group, or A- or the equivalent thereof by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc., and having capital and surplus in excess of Two Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000,000.00) and being “well-capitalized” as defined in 12 CFR 325.103, (iii) either (1) binding for the period through thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term hereof, as the same may be extended, or (2) binding for one (1) year and automatically renewed annually unless the issuer of such Letter of Credit provides to Landlord a written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such one-year period, and (iv) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.

(b)           Substitute Letter of Credit. In the event that (i) any issuer of a Letter of Credit gives notice to Landlord of the expiration or non-renewal of such Letter of Credit, or (ii) evidence of the renewal of any Letter of Credit is not delivered to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled expiration of said Letter of Credit (the first date on which either of such events occurs being referred to as the “Deadline”), Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of the Deadline, deliver to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit, satisfying the requirements set forth above. If Tenant fails to substitute a new Letter of Credit by such date, Landlord shall have the right, without notice or demand, to draw on the Letter of Credit currently in its possession and hold and apply the cash proceeds thereof as the Security Deposit as set forth in this Lease. In addition, if the credit rating, as determined by any commercially recognized rating agency, of the issuer of the Letter of Credit falls from the level of its credit rating on the date of this Lease,

36

Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to provide a substitute Letter of Credit from an issuer with a credit rating equal to the credit rating of such original issuer on the date of this Lease. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit, satisfying the requirements set forth above, Landlord shall have the right, without notice or demand, to draw on the Letter of Credit currently in its possession and hold and apply the cash proceeds thereof as the Security Deposit as set forth in this Lease.

(c)           Drawing Upon Letter of Credit. From and after the occurrence of any Default of Tenant hereunder, Landlord may draw in full, or in part from time to time, upon the Letter of Credit and immediately apply all or a portion of the cash proceeds thereof to remedy said Default of Tenant, and any cash proceeds not so immediately applied shall be held by Landlord and shall constitute a Security Deposit hereunder, and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a first priority security interest therein.

In the event a petition is filed by the Tenant seeking an adjudication of itself as bankrupt or insolvent under any bankruptcy law or similar law or if any petition shall be filed or action taken to declare Tenant a bankrupt or to delay, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts or obligations or to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure or indebtedness or to appoint a trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or if an involuntary petition in bankruptcy is filed against Tenant, Landlord may draw against the Letter of Credit for any amount up to the full amount thereof paid by Tenant to Landlord within the applicable preference period on account of its obligations under this Lease. The amount so drawn shall be held by Landlord in a segregated account until expiration of the preference period. If a preference claim is brought against Landlord requiring Landlord to repay to the debtor’s estate the amount of any payments made by Tenant to Landlord as a preference, Landlord may reimburse itself out of the funds drawn under the Letter of Credit and so held the amount of the preference payments that Landlord is required to pay back to the debtor’s estate, together with reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with any claim by the debtor’s estate for such payment. Any amounts drawn down in accordance with this subparagraph that are unexpended after expiration of the preference period shall be paid over to Tenant, or its estate, as applicable.

18.2    Security Deposit. Any Security Deposit which Landlord may, from time to time, receive pursuant to this Lease shall secure the full and prompt payment and performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and Tenant hereby grants Landlord a first priority security interest therein.

18.3    Application of Security Deposit. Any Security Deposit shall be held and applied by the Landlord as set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall hold any Security Deposit (or so much thereof as has not been applied by Landlord pursuant hereto) until that date which is three (3) months following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term as security for the payment and performance of all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Landlord shall have the right from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have, to apply such Security Deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages arising from, or to cure, any Default of Tenant. If Landlord shall so apply any or all of such Security Deposit, Tenant shall immediately upon demand deposit with Landlord the amount so applied to restore the Security Deposit to the full original amount of the Letter of Credit. Landlord shall return the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this

37

Section, to Tenant on or before that date which is three (3) months following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease and surrender of possession of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord at such time, provided that there is then existing no Default of Tenant (nor any circumstance which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a Default of Tenant). Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the Security Deposit and may commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. If Landlord assigns Landlord’s interest under this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any part thereof not previously applied, shall be turned over by Landlord to Landlord’s assignee, and, if so turned over, Tenant agrees to look solely to such assignee for proper application of the Security Deposit in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE 18.

The Holder of a Mortgage shall not be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such Letter of Credit and/or Security Deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such Letter of Credit and/or Security Deposit shall have been received in hand by such Holder.

18.4        Intentionally Omitted.

ARTICLE 19
DEFAULT; REMEDIES

19.1        Tenant’s Default.

(a)           If at any time subsequent to the date of this Lease any one or more of the following events (each a “Default of Tenant”) shall happen:

(i)     Tenant shall fail to pay the Basic Rent or Additional Rent hereunder within five (5) days following when due; or

(ii)     Tenant shall fail to timely bond off or discharge a lien in accordance with Section 7.4 herein within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Landlord to Tenant of such failure; or

(iii)     Tenant shall fail to timely deliver an estoppel certificate in accordance with Section 15.1(a) herein within five (5) Business Days of written notice by Landlord to Tenant of such failure; or

(iv)     Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any other covenant herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed and Tenant shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant specifying such neglect or failure; provided, however that if such failure is of such a nature that Tenant cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have an additional period, not to exceed ninety (90) days after the notice described in this subsection (iv), to remedy same, so long as Tenant promptly commences (and in any event within such thirty (30) day period) and prosecutes such remedy to completion with diligence and continuity; or

38

(v)     Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises shall be taken on execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant and Tenant does not dissolve or remove such execution within sixty (60) days following such execution; or

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

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

(viii)     A petition shall be filed against Tenant under any law (other than the Bankruptcy Code) seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future Federal State or other statute, law or regulation and shall remain undismissed or unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive), or if any trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant and such appointment shall remain unvacated or unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive); or

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

then in any such case Landlord may terminate this Lease as hereinafter provided.

(b)       For purposes of subsection (a)(v) above, an “Event of Bankruptcy” means the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant, or the entry of an order for relief against Tenant, under Chapter 7, 11, or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the term “Bankruptcy Code” means 11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq. If an Event of Bankruptcy occurs, then, subject to Applicable Law, the trustee of Tenant’s bankruptcy estate or Tenant as debtor-in-possession may (subject to final approval of the court) assume this Lease, and may subsequently assign it, only if it does the following:

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

39

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

(A)          cures all monetary Defaults of Tenant and nonmonetary Defaults of Tenant that are capable of cure under this Lease or provides Landlord with Adequate Assurance (as defined below) that it will promptly cure all monetary Defaults of Tenant and nonmonetary Defaults of Tenant that are capable of cure after the assumption;

(B)           compensates Landlord and any other person or entity, or provides Landlord with Adequate Assurance that promptly after the date of the assumption, it will compensate Landlord and such other person or entity, for any pecuniary loss that Landlord and such other person or entity incurred as a result of any Default of Tenant, the trustee, or the debtor-in-possession;

(C)           provides Landlord with Adequate Assurance of Future Performance (as defined by the Bankruptcy Code or applied by a Bankruptcy Court) of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and

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

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

19.2        Landlord’s Remedies.

(a)             Upon the occurrence of a Default of Tenant, Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, specifying a date not less than five (5) days after the giving of such notice on which this Lease shall terminate and this Lease shall come to an end on the date specified therein as fully and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the Term of this Lease, and Tenant will then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition required in Section 9.2, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

(b)             If this Lease shall have been terminated as provided in this Section 19.2, then Landlord may re-enter the Premises, either by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, but only in accordance with Applicable Law, and remove and dispossess Tenant and all other persons and any and all property from the same.

40

(c)             If this Lease shall have been terminated as provided in this Section 19.2, Tenant shall pay Rent hereunder up to the time of such termination, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such termination, and whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as liquidated current damages: (x) the Rent due hereunder if such termination had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises, after deducting all expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, Attorneys’ Fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting; and (y) if this Lease provides that Tenant was entitled to occupy the Premises for any period of time without paying Basic Rent, the amount of Basic Rent that Tenant would have paid for any such period. Tenant shall pay the portion of such liquidated current damages referred to in clause (x) above to Landlord monthly on the days which the Basic Rent would have been payable hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated, and Tenant shall pay the portion of such liquidated current damages referred to in clause (y) above to Landlord upon such termination.

(d)              At any time after termination of this Lease as provided in this Section 19.2, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any such liquidated current damages and in lieu of all such current damages beyond the date of such demand, Tenant, at Landlord’s election, shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Rent (including Taxes, Operating Expenses and other charges payable under this Lease) which would be payable hereunder from the date of such demand assuming that annual payments by Tenant on account of Taxes and Operating Expenses would be the same as the payments required for the immediately preceding Operating Year or Tax Year for what would be the then unexpired Term of this Lease as if the same remained in effect, over the then fair net rental value of the Premises for the same period, both figures discounted to present value on the date actually paid applying a discount rate consistent with market rates at the time of payment as determined in Landlord’s judgment.

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

(f)               Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation to pay such sums or do any act which requires the expenditure of monies which may be necessary or appropriate by reason of the failure or neglect of Tenant to perform any of the provisions of this Lease, and in the event of the exercise of such right by Landlord, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord forthwith upon demand all such sums, together with interest thereon per annum at a rate equal to the

41

greater of three percent (3%) over the prime rate in effect from time to time at Bank of America (or any successor thereto) or fifteen percent (15%) (but in no event greater than the maximum lawful rate), as Additional Rent. Any payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder not paid when due shall, at the option of Landlord, bear interest per annum at a rate equal to the greater of three percent (3%) over the prime rate in effect from time to time at Bank of America (or any successor thereto), or fifteen percent (15%) (but in no event greater than the maximum lawful rate) from the due date thereof and shall be payable forthwith on demand by Landlord as Additional Rent.

19.3        Additional Rent. As referred to in Section 19.1 and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant shall fail to pay when due Additional Rent, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as Landlord has hereunder for Tenant’s failure to pay Basic Rent.

19.4        Remedies Cumulative. The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may at any time be entitled lawfully, and Landlord may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, except as may arise from Tenant holding over as described in Section 16.1, Tenant shall never be liable to Landlord for any loss of business or any other indirect or consequential damages suffered by Landlord from whatever cause.

19.5        Attorneys’ Fees. Tenant shall pay to Landlord reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in enforcing its rights hereunder, provided Landlord is successful in its enforcement action, or occasioned by any Default of Tenant.

19.6        Waiver.

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

(b)             No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than that due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be treated otherwise than as a payment on account of the earliest installment of any payment due from Tenant hereunder. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant.

42

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

19.8          Tenant’s Remedies. In the event of Landlord’s default under this Lease, and failure to cure same within any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall have the remedies available to it at law and in equity, as the same may be limited or waived by the terms hereof. Except as specifically set forth herein, Tenant acknowledges that its covenant to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent hereunder is independent of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, and that in the event that Tenant shall have a claim against Landlord, including without limitation, a claim related to its exercise of rights under Section 9.2(c), Tenant shall not have the right to deduct the amount allegedly owed to Tenant from any Basic Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder, it being understood that Tenant’s sole remedy for recovering upon such claim shall be to bring an independent legal action against Landlord.

19.9        Landlord’s Liability.

(a)               General. Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s equity interest in the Property at the time of recovery for recovery of any judgment against Landlord, and agrees that neither Landlord nor any Successor shall be personally liable for any such judgment, or for the payment of any monetary obligation to Tenant. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or any Successor, or to take any action not involving the personal liability of Landlord or any Successor to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s or any Successor’s assets other than Landlord’s or any Successor’s equity interest in the Property. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Landlord shall never be liable to Tenant for any loss of business or any other indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever cause.

(b)              Refusal to Give Consent. Where provision is made in this Lease for Landlord’s consent, and Tenant shall request such consent, and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent, it being intended that Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction, and that such remedy shall be available only in those cases where Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold its consent. Furthermore, whenever Tenant requests Landlord’s consent or approval (whether or not provided for herein), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as Additional Rent, any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord (including without limitation reasonable Attorneys’ Fees and costs, if any) in connection therewith.

(c)               Transfer of Title. In no event shall the acquisition of Landlord’s interest in the Property by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases Landlord’s entire interest in the Property back to the seller thereof be treated as an assumption by operation of law or

A.                                   Operating Expenses shall include the following, without limitation:

1.                                       All expenses incurred by Landlord or Landlord’s Agents which shall be directly related to employment of personnel in connection with the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, cleaning, repaving, protection and management of the Property, including without limitation, amounts incurred for wages, salaries and other compensation for services, payroll, social security, unemployment and similar taxes, workmen’s compensation insurance, disability benefits, pensions, hospitalization, retirement plans and group insurance, uniforms and working clothes and the cleaning thereof, and expenses imposed on Landlord or Landlord’s Agents pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement for the services of employees of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents in connection with the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, cleaning, repaving, management and protection of the Property, including, without limitation, day and night supervisors, manager, accountants, bookkeepers, janitors, carpenters, engineers, mechanics, electricians and plumbers and personnel engaged in supervision of any of the persons mentioned above; provided that, if any such employee is also employed on other property of Landlord, such compensation shall be suitably prorated among the Property and such other properties.

2.                                       The cost of services, utilities, materials and supplies furnished or used in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, cleaning, repaving, management and protection of the Property, or any portion thereof and the parking areas, access roads, utilities, and other facilities servicing or benefiting the Property alone or in common with other properties in the Park if applicable, and real estate taxes and betterment assessments with respect to the Park, which costs associated with access roads, utilities and other facilities and real estate taxes and betterment assessments with respect to the Park shall be allocated as set forth in any agreements governing or affecting the Park or its appurtenances, which are recorded with the Middlesex Registry of Deeds, or if none, then equitably among the Property and other properties in the Park, including without limitation, such operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, snow plowing, landscaping, cleaning, repaving, management and protection, and as are required to comply with Applicable Law.

3.                                       The cost of maintenance, repairs and replacements for tools and other similar equipment used in the repair, replacement, maintenance, cleaning, repaving, management and protection of the Property, provided that, in the case of any such equipment used jointly on other property of Landlord, such costs shall be suitably prorated among the Property and such other properties.

4.                                       Where the Property is managed by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord, an annual sum equal to the amounts customarily charged by management firms in the

51

Hopkinton, Massachusetts area for similar properties, actually paid, or where managed by other than Landlord or an affiliate thereof, the amounts paid for management, together with, in either case, amounts accrued for legal and other professional fees relating to the Property, but excluding such fees and commissions paid in connection with services rendered for securing or renewing leases and for matters not related to the normal administration and operation of the Property.

6.                                       If, during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall make a capital expenditure, the total cost of which is not properly includible in Operating Expenses for the Operating Year in which it was made, there shall nevertheless be included in such Operating Expenses for the Operating Year in which it was made and in Operating Expenses for each succeeding Operating Year the annual charge-off of such capital expenditure. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, including without limitation Section 8.1 hereof, Landlord shall not be required to make any capital expenditures unless the Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines that the same is necessary. Annual charge-off shall be determined by dividing the original capital expenditure plus an interest factor of 10% per annum, by the number of years of useful life of the capital expenditure; and the useful life shall be determined reasonably by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in effect at the time of making such expenditure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any individual capital expenditure shall be less than $20,000.00, the same shall not be included in the annual charge-off but rather shall be directly included in full in Operating Expenses for the Operating Year in which it was made. Furthermore, notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, it is agreed that Landlord’s only obligation with respect to capital replacement is its obligation to replace the Structure of the Buildings, as set forth in Section 8.1 hereof, and any other capital replacement which may be performed by Landlord shall not be included in Operating Expenses or in the annual charge-off described above but rather shall be directly chargeable to Tenant and paid to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent.

7.                                       Costs for electricity, water and sewer use charges, gas and other utilities supplied to the Property and not paid for directly by tenants.

8.                                       Betterment assessments, provided the same are apportioned equally over the longest period permitted by law, and to the extent, if any, not included in Taxes.

9.                                       Amounts paid to independent contractors for services, materials and supplies furnished for the operation, repair, maintenance, cleaning and protection of the Property.

EXHIBIT F
Appraisers’ Determination of First Extension Term
Fair Market Rent and Second Extension Term Fair Market Rent

The term “Appraisers’ Determination” refers to the following procedures and requirements:

For the purpose of fixing the First Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the First Extension Term and/or the Second Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the Second Extension Term, as the case may be, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon an appraiser who shall be a member of the M.A.I. or Counselor’s of Real Estate (CRE) (or successor professional organizations) and shall have at least ten (10) years experience appraising rental values of property in the 495 West submarket comprised of Franklin to the south along I-495 to the north to I-290 to and including Marlborough, Massachusetts (the “Market Area”).

If Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon an appraiser by the date which is twenty (20) days after an Impasse, as defined in Section 1.1 (the “Appraiser Selection Deadline”), each of Landlord and Tenant shall, within ten (10) additional days, that is, by the date which is thirty (30) days after an Impasse, select an appraiser with the foregoing qualifications whereupon each of said appraisers shall, within ten (10) days of their selection hereunder, select a third appraiser with the foregoing qualifications. The First Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the First Extension Term and/or the Second Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the Second Extension Term, as the case may be, shall thereafter be determined to be the amount equal to the average of the two appraisals which are closest in dollar amount to each other except that if all three appraisals are apart in equal amounts, the appraisal which falls in the middle shall be the First Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the First Extension Term and/or the Second Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the Second Extension Term, as the case may be. If either party fails to select an appraiser by the Appraiser Selection Deadline, then the appraiser selected by the other party, if selected by the Appraiser Selection Deadline, shall be the sole appraiser. Landlord and Tenant shall share equally the expense of any and all appraisers. The appraiser(s) shall be obligated to make a determination of First Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the First Extension Term and/or the Second Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the Second Extension Term, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of either the single appraiser (if only one) and within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third appraiser (if three are so appointed).

In determining the First Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the First Extension Term and/or the Second Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the Second Extension Term, as the case may be, the appraisers shall consider, among other things, the then current arms length basic rent being charged to tenants for comparable buildings in the Market Area.

The appraisers shall not have the right to modify any provision of this Lease and shall only determine the First Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the First Extension Term and/or the Second Extension Term Fair Market Rent for the Second Extension Term, as the case may be, which shall constitute the Basic Rent under this Lease for the First Extension Term and/or the Second Extension Term, as the case may be; provided, however, that in no event shall the Annual Basic Rent for the First Extension Term or the Second Extension Term, as the case may be, be less than the Annual Basic Rent during the last year of the Term immediately prior to the commencement of the First Extension Term or the Second Extension Term, as the case may be.
