3.             Premises A 2007.  The term of the Leases with respect to Premises A 2007 is hereby extended for an additional term commencing June 25, 2007 and expiring on September 30, 2007.    During the period commencing on the date hereof and expiring on March 24, 2007, the annual Base Rent in respect of Premises A 2007 shall be $2,528,400.00, payable in monthly amounts of $210,700.00.  During the period commencing March 25, 2007 and expiring September 30, 2007, the annual Base Rent in respect of Premises 2007 A shall be $2,633,750.00, payable in monthly amounts of $219,479.16.

5.             No Further Extension Rights or Rights of First Refusal.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no further right to extend the term of the Leases beyond the dates set forth in this Third Amendment and no rights of first refusal on any space within the Complex.  Without limiting the foregoing, Sections 2.2, 3.2 and 3.3 of the First Amendment shall be void and without further force or effect.

6.             Tenant’s Proportionate Shares.  Throughout the term of the Leases, as extended herein, Tenant shall continue to pay Lessee’s Proportionate CAO Lot Share, Lessee’s Proportionate Building Share and Tenant’s pro rata share of real estate taxes, with the calculation of said payment being adjusted

2




to reflect any decrease in rentable square footage leased by Tenant as Tenant surrenders space in accordance with the provisions of this Third Amendment.  After the Tenant surrenders Premises A 2007 to Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Building 600 Lease, Building 1400 Lease, Amendments and this Third Amendment, the Lessee’s Proportionate CAO Lot Share under the Building 600 Lease shall be 5.54%, Lessee’s Proportionate Building Share under the Building 600 Lease shall be 16.03%, Lessee’s Proportionate CAO Lot Share under the Building 1400 Lease shall be 5.75%, Lessee’s Proportionate Building Share under the Building 1400 Lease shall be 28.13% and Tenant’s pro rata share of real estate taxes under each of the Leases shall be the same percentages as set forth above.

7.             Utilities.  Tenant’s obligation to pay for utilities, as set forth in the Leases, shall continue throughout the term with any pro rata payments being adjusted to reflect any decrease in rentable square footage leased by Tenant as Tenant surrenders space in accordance with the provisions of this Third Amendment.  The parties acknowledge that Landlord is unaware of the specifics of how electrical service is distributed by the utility company to the various premises leased by Tenant.  Tenant agrees, however, that if the entirety of Premises A 2007 is not separately metered from Premises B and Premises A 2008, then after expiration of the term for Premises A 2007, and no later than October 31, 2007, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, furnish and install any necessary metering equipment to measure the consumption of electric current in Premises A 2007 separately from Premises B and Premises A 2008.  If Landlord elects to take back the Surrendered Space (as defined below), then Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and within thirty (30) days after the Surrender Date (as defined below) (or such longer period as is reasonably necessary to complete the hereinafter described work, provided that Tenant has commenced and is diligently pursuing the completion of such work and; further provided, that such period shall not extend beyond ninety (90) days after the Surrender Date) furnish and install any necessary metering equipment to measure the consumption of electric current in the Surrendered Space separately from the remaining portion of Premises A 2007 occupied by Tenant and separately from Premises B and Premises A 2008.

8.             No Interior Cleaning Service.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord does not provide, and is not obligated to provide, any interior cleaning services for the Premises B, Premises A 2007 or Premises A 2008.  Landlord shall not charge Tenant for any interior cleaning services and such charges shall not be included in Lessee’s Proportionate CAO Lot Share or Lessee’s Proportionate Building.

9.             Take Back Option.  Commencing January 1, 2007, Landlord has the option, exercisable on thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant, to take back the portion of Premises A 2007 consisting of 16,556 rentable square feet on the fifth (5th) floor of Building 1400 as shown on Exhibit A, Sheet 3 (the “Surrendered Space”).  Landlord’s notice shall set forth the date by which Tenant must yield up the Surrendered Space to Landlord in the condition required under the Leases, Amendments and this Third Amendment (the “Surrender Date”).  In no event shall the Surrender Date be earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s notice.  If Tenant needs additional time to decommission the Surrendered Space, as required under this Third Amendment,  Tenant may extend the Surrender Date on a day-to day basis in order to complete its decommissioning work provided Tenant has commenced such work prior to the original Surrender Date and is working diligently to complete such work.  As of the Surrender Date, Lessee’s Proportionate CAO Lot Share under the Building 600 Lease shall be 15.95%, Lessee’s Proportionate Building Share under the Building 600 Lease shall be 46.16%, Lessee’s Proportionate CAO Lot Share under the Building 1400 Lease shall be 5.75%, Lessee’s Proportionate Building Share under the Building 1400 Lease shall be 28.13% and Tenant’s pro rata share of real estate taxes under each of the Leases shall be the same percentages as set forth above.  As of the Surrender Date, the Leases shall automatically terminate with respect only to the Surrendered Space as if the Leases had expired by its

3




terms with respect to the Surrendered Space and Tenant shall be automatically relieved from all further obligations with respect to the Surrendered Space as of the Surrender Date, except as to those obligations in the Leases that expressly survive termination.

10.           Parking.  Throughout the term of the Leases, the Landlord will make available to Tenant one monthly parking pass for each 1,000 rentable square feet of space currently leased by Tenant pursuant to the Leases for use in the One Kendall Square Garage (the “Garage”).  As of the date hereof, Tenant shall have the right to use 158 parking spaces in the Garage based on the square footage for Premises B, Premises A 2007 and Premises A 2008.  Tenant shall have no right to sublet, assign, or otherwise transfer said parking passes except in connection with an assignment of the Leases or sublease of the premises permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Leases.  Said parking passes shall be paid for by Tenant at the then current prevailing rate in the Garage, as such rate may vary from time to time.  The current rate for such passes, as of the date of this Third Amendment, is $200.00 per month.  If, for any reason, Tenant shall fail timely to pay the charge for said parking passes, Landlord shall have the same rights against Tenant as Landlord has with respect to the timely payment of Base Rent hereunder.  Said parking passes will be on an unassigned, non-reserved basis, and shall be subject to reasonable rules and regulations from time to time in force.  Tenant shall have the right, from time to time, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, to surrender one or more of such parking passes, and upon such surrender, Tenant shall have no further rights or obligations with respect to such surrendered passes.  As Tenant surrenders portions of the demised premises in accordance with this Third Amendment, Tenant shall also surrender the corresponding parking passes.   During the term of the Leases Landlord agrees to notify Tenant when additional parking spaces become available in the Garage and Tenant shall have the option to utilize such spaces on a month-to-month basis at the then current prevailing rate in the Garage.  The provisions of this Paragraph 10 shall replace all others in the Leases relating to parking spaces in the Garage.

11.           Removal of Signage.  Upon execution of this Third Amendment, Tenant shall commence, at its sole cost and expense,  the removal of any of its signage, if any, from the front entrance, glass awning entrance and the clock tower on Building 1400.  At the expiration of the term of the Leases, Tenant shall remove, at its sole cost and expense, all of its exterior signage, if any, from Building 600.  The removal of such signage shall not damage the premises or Building 1400 or Building 600, as the case may be, and the cost of repairing any damage to the premises or said buildings arising from such removal shall be paid by Tenant.

12.           Decommissioning of Premises.  On or before the date of the expiration of the term for Premises B, Premises A 2007 or Premises A 2008 or the Surrender Date if Landlord exercises its termination option in Paragraph 9 of this Third Amendment, Tenant shall:

a)             Cause those portions of Premises B, Premises A 2007, Premises A 2008 or the Surrendered Space, as the case may be, used for laboratory purposes to be decommissioned in accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and/or the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for the control of radiation, cause such premises to be released for unrestricted use by the Radiation Control Program of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for the control of radiation, and deliver to Landlord the report of a certified industrial hygienist or a certified health physicist, as the case may be, stating that he or she has examined such premises (including visual inspection, Geiger counter evaluation and airborne and surface monitoring) and found no evidence that such portion of such premises contains Hazardous Materials, as defined in this Third Amendment, or is otherwise in violation of any Environmental Law, as also defined in this Third Amendment hereof.

b)            Provide to Landlord a copy of its most current chemical waste removal manifest and a certification from Tenant executed by an officer of Tenant that to the knowledge of such officer, after due investigation, no Hazardous Materials or other potentially dangerous or harmful chemicals brought onto such premises from and after the date that Tenant first took occupancy of the premises remain in such premises.

13.           Defined Terms.  As used herein the term “Environmental Law” means collectively all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of any local, state or federal governmental authority having jurisdiction concerning environmental, health and safety matters, including, but not limited to, any discharge into the air, surface, water, sewers, soil or groundwater of any Hazardous Materials.  As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials” means any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste or petroleum derivative which is or becomes regulated by any Environmental Law, specifically including live organisms, viruses and fungi, medical waste, and so-called “biohazard” materials.  The term “Hazardous Materials” includes, without limitation, any material or substance which is (i) designated as a “hazardous substance” pursuant to Section 1311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C.

no responsibility or liability for any such interruption of services or systems provided that Landlord is acting with reasonable diligence as set forth herein.  Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for any damage to Tenant’s property or the premises caused in whole or in part by Landlord’s negligent act or omission relative to the segregation of the premises as contemplated by this paragraph 15.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right at all times to have an agent or representative of Tenant accompany Landlord, Landlord’s contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, invitees or visitors or anyone entering any portion of Premises B, Premises A 2007 or Premises A 2008 at Landlord’s discretion or on Landlord’s behalf.
