                                SECOND AMENDMENT

                                   LEASE FROM
                      TRUSTEES OF THE CAMBRIDGE EAST TRUST
                                       TO
                               EPIX MEDICAL, INC.

      This is the Second Amendment made as of June 30, 2000 to the Lease dated
as of July 7, 1998 between the Trustees of The Cambridge East Trust, as
Landlord, and EPIX Medical, Inc., as Tenant, for premises at 63-75 Rogers
Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts as previously amended by First Amendment dated
February 18. 1999 (the "Lease").

      Whereas, the Landlord is willing and the Tenant wishes, (i) to lease as
additional Premises a portion of the premises at 67 Rogers Street, Cambridge,
Massachusetts (sometime referred to as the portion of the Premises at 67 Rogers
Street), which constituted a portion of the First Offer Premises described in
Section 3.5 of the Lease, on the terms and conditions stated in the Lease as
previously amended, and (ii) to extend the First Offer Rights as to the Premises
at 63 Rogers Street and 65 Rogers Street on the terms and conditions stated in
this Second Amendment.

      Therefore, for valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which
is mutually acknowledged:

      1. Section 1 Reference Data The Landlord and the Tenant amend the Lease by
substituting Section 1 Reference Data appearing at the end of this Second
Amendment for the original Section 1 Reference Data, and the Lease is hereby so
amended.

      2. Exercise of Rights in First Offer Premises at 67 Rogers Street The
portion of the Premises at 67 Rogers Street being added to the Lease by this
Second Amendment are presently occupied by Therion Corporation and Landlord's
delivery thereof is affected by the date of Therion's delivery to Landlord,
which is estimated to be on or about August 12, 2000. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain delivery of such Premises on or about August 12,
2000 (but shall not be obligated to pay money for such purpose). Landlord shall
give five days prior notice of the date those Premises are to be delivered (or
anticipated to be delivery) to Tenant. Landlord's delayed delivery of said
Premises shall in no way affect the validity of the Lease as including those
Premises but Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Annual Base Rent or any
Additional Rent on those Premises until they are delivered to Tenant and all
rent thereon for any period from August 12, 2000 to actual delivery shall be
abated entirely. If Landlord has not delivered possession of those Premises on
or before November 1, 2000, Tenant shall have the right by notice to Landlord,
continuing while such Premises remain undelivered thereafter, to terminate this
Second Amendment.

      The Premises added to the Lease by this Second Amendment are delivered by
Landlord and accepted by Tenant "as is" and in broom clean condition.. Tenant
may


                                       -1-
<PAGE>

enter the premises at 67 Rogers Street prior to the Commencement Date therefor
(but not prior to the present tenant vacating the same) to prepare those
Premises for Tenant's use, which entry shall be on all the terms and conditions
of the Lease including, without limitation Sections 3.3 and 8.7 thereof. If said
Premises are delivered prior to August 12, 2000, Tenant may also use those
Premises for their intended purpose immediately on delivery provided Tenant pays
Landlord daily rent at the rate of Annual Base Rent and all Additional Rent
therefore for such days of use prior to August 12, 2000.

      4. The following new Section 3.5A is added to the Lease in replacement of
Section 3.5, which has lapsed.

      3.5A Extension of Right of First Offer as to 63 Rogers Street and 65
Rogers Street In the event this Lease is in full force and effect without notice
of default to Tenant or, if such notice of default has been given, Tenant is
acting promptly and diligently to cure the same and applicable grace periods, if
any, have not expired, and the original Tenant holds the entire Tenant's
interest hereunder and is in occupancy of not less than 70% of the Premises and
engaged in the active conduct of its business, the original Tenant shall have a
"right of first offer" to lease all the remaining space at 63 Rogers Street and
65 Rogers Street, both in Cambridge, Massachusetts shown on Exhibit 1-A attached
to the original Lease (the "First Offer Premises") in their then existing
condition, with no obligation in Landlord with regard to altering or improving
the condition thereof, for an Annual Fixed Rent determined as stated in Section
6.1 of the Lease for a term ending on the Termination Date and otherwise on all
the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant may exercise the right of first
offer as to 63 Rogers Street and 65 Rogers Street only together and only on the
same, single occasion, and shall exercise such right of first offer, if at all,
only as follows.

      The First Offer Premises at 63 Rogers Street and 65 Rogers Street are
presently occupied by Immunetics, Inc. under lease. If, during the Term of this
Lease, the First Offer Premises are to (or have) become available for Tenant's
use, Landlord shall so notify Tenant. Such notice shall state the date on which
the First Offer Premises in question would be added to Tenant's leased premises
under this Lease (or, if that date is uncertain, may state the earliest date
such First Offer Premises could be added to Tenant's leased premises under this
Lease) and shall be given not sooner than ninety (90) days before such date (or,
if given sooner, shall not be effective until that date). Tenant shall have the
right to lease the First Offer Premises in question on the terms and conditions
stated above if (but only if) (1) Tenant gives Landlord written notice of its
intention to do so within) thirty (30) business days of receipt (or the
effective date, if later) of Landlord's notice of availability and also (2)
executes and delivers to Landlord, within thirty (30) business days of receipt
thereof, the amendment adding the First Offer Premises to this Lease on the
terms and conditions stated above, and Tenant's failure to do either of these
acts within the time stated (time being of the essence as stated in Section
14.7) shall terminate Tenant's right to lease the First Offer Premises described
in such notice hereunder.

      The First Offer Premises are presently occupied and Tenant acknowledges
that it is in Landlord's economic interest to prefer an existing tenant to all
other occupants.


                                       -2-
<PAGE>

Landlord and Tenant agree to balance this interest with Tenant's economic
interest in having the right of first offer as follows. Landlord shall not be
obligated to offer the First Offer Premises to Tenant (1) so long as either
Immunetics, Inc. or any person claiming by, through or under either as the
Tenant and having become the Tenant with Landlord's consent (hereafter referred
to, with respect to the space each occupies, as the "Present Tenant") wishes to
continue to occupy the First Offer Premises, whether under the present lease,
any extension or renewal thereof, a new lease or otherwise. Accordingly, Tenant
acknowledges that Tenant's right of first offer (1) in no way limits Landlord's
right to negotiate and grant the Present Tenant, further rights of occupancy
(under lease or otherwise) in premises which include the First Offer Premises.
Tenant shall have the right to inspect the First Offer Premises on reasonable
notice at any reasonable time and from time to time after Landlord's notice of
its availability.

3. Agreement Made Only When Amendment Signed. This Amendment shall bind Landlord
and Tenant only when executed and delivered by both. This Amendment when signed
by one party and delivered to the other, shall constitute an offer to enter into
the Amendment on the terms set forth herein. No submission of this Amendment,
unsigned by either party to the other, shall constitute an offer.

4. Lease Confirmed Except as previously amended and as amended herein, the Lease
is ratified and confirmed.
