PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Alkermes, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "Alkermes" or the
"Registrant"), a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 1987, is applying the
tools of biotechnology to the development of sophisticated proprietary drug
delivery systems. The Registrant is developing product candidates based on three
independent drug delivery technologies: ProLease(R), which is designed to enable
single injections lasting a few days to several months to be made of proteins or
peptides otherwise given by more frequent injection; RMP-7(TM), which is
designed to enable increased drug delivery to the brain by transiently opening
the blood-brain barrier; and Medisorb(R), which extends Alkermes' technology for
injectable sustained release and is designed for more traditional small molecule
pharmaceutical compounds. Utilizing these drug delivery systems, the Registrant
is currently in various stages of preclinical and clinical development of
several product candidates.
OVERVIEW OF DRUG DELIVERY
Drug delivery companies apply proprietary technologies to create new
pharmaceutical products based on drugs developed by others. These products are
generally novel, cost-effective dosage forms that provide any of several
benefits including control of drug concentration in the blood, improved safety
and efficacy, improved patient compliance and ease of use and expanded
indications. Drug delivery technologies can provide pharmaceutical companies
with a means of developing new products as well as expanding existing drug
franchises.
The drug delivery industry emerged to address the opportunities for
advanced delivery of traditional pharmaceutical compounds. These compounds are
generally stable, small molecules manufactured by conventional synthetic
methods, for which oral or transdermal (through the skin) delivery could be
enabled or enhanced by drug delivery technologies. Technologies such as passive
transdermal systems (patches) and advanced tablets and capsules have been
developed and successfully applied to a range of pharmaceutical products. In
addition, certain traditional small molecule pharmaceuticals are delivered by
means of encapsulation in polymeric microspheres.
With the advent of biotechnology, new opportunities in drug delivery
have arisen. Advances in biotechnology have facilitated the development of a new
generation of biopharmaceutical products based on proteins, peptides and nucleic
acids. At the same time, the scientific tools of biotechnology have enabled new
approaches to drug delivery based on exploiting particular biological phenomena,
for example utilizing natural properties of the blood-brain barrier to
facilitate drug delivery to the central nervous system.
Proteins and peptides present drug delivery challenges because they are
often large molecules which degrade rapidly in the bloodstream, have limited
ability to cross cell membranes and generally cannot be delivered orally. As a
result, many biopharmaceuticals must be administered by injection, often
multiple times per day or per week. Consequently, the methods of administration
of
2
<PAGE> 3
biopharmaceuticals can limit their clinical applications to certain disease
states that warrant the expense and inconvenience of frequent injection.
Drug delivery to the central nervous system is complicated by the
existence of the blood-brain barrier, the layer of tightly joined endothelial
cells which comprise the walls of the capillaries of the brain and limit the
free flow of many blood constituents into the brain. Many drugs cannot easily
cross the blood-brain barrier, and therefore must be administered in relatively
high doses that may result in systemic toxicity or high cost. Drugs with limited
ability to cross the blood-brain barrier include many water soluble
chemotherapeutic and anti-infective agents that are frequently used in the
treatment of diseases outside of the central nervous system.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Alkermes' business strategy is to develop and acquire drug delivery
systems to address significant new drug delivery opportunities arising in the
pharmaceutical industry. There are four key elements to Alkermes' strategy:
Develop and Acquire Broadly Applicable Drug Delivery Systems and Apply
Them to Multiple Pharmaceutical Products. The Registrant develops or acquires
drug delivery systems that have the potential to be applied to multiple
proteins, peptides and small molecule pharmaceutical compounds to create new
product opportunities. For example, the Registrant has developed RMP-7
technology independently and acquired the ProLease and Medisorb technologies.
The Registrant currently has several product candidates utilizing those
technologies in development.
Collaborate to Develop and Finance Product Candidates. In addition to
conducting product development activities on its own, the Registrant has entered
into collaborations with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and others
to develop product candidates incorporating the Registrant's technologies,
provide capital for product development independent of capital markets and share
development risk. Currently, the Registrant is collaborating with major
pharmaceutical companies, including Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech"),
Schering-Plough Corporation ("Schering-Plough"), Johnson & Johnson and Janssen
Pharmaceutica International ("Janssen").
Apply Drug Delivery Systems to Both Approved Drugs and Drugs in
Development. The Registrant is applying its drug delivery technologies to novel
applications and formulations of pharmaceutical products that have already been
approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. In such cases, the
Registrant and its partners can develop a novel dosage form or application with
the knowledge of a drug's safety and efficacy profile and a body of clinical
experience from which to draw information for the design of clinical trials and
for regulatory submissions. The Registrant is also applying its technologies to
new pharmaceuticals that require a sustained release delivery system for
successful development.
Establish Independent Product Development Capabilities. Alkermes has
assembled its own product development organization to enable it to develop
product candidates for itself and its collaborators based on its drug delivery
technologies. This capability gives the Registrant flexibility in structuring
development programs and the ability to conduct both feasibility studies and
clinical development programs for its collaborators. For example, the Registrant
has developed RMP-7
3
<PAGE> 4
independently and is currently conducting clinical trials of ProLease human
growth hormone ("hGH") for Genentech.
DRUG DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY
The Registrant's current focus is on the development of broadly
applicable drug delivery technologies addressing two important drug delivery
opportunities: injectable sustained release of proteins, peptides and small
molecule pharmaceutical compounds, and drug delivery to the brain across the
blood-brain barrier. The Registrant is developing product candidates based on
three independent drug delivery technologies.
ProLease: injectable sustained release of fragile proteins and peptides
ProLease is Alkermes' proprietary technology for the stabilization and
encapsulation of fragile proteins and peptides in microspheres made of common
medical polymers. The Registrant's proprietary expertise in this field lies in
its ability to preserve the biological activity of fragile drugs over an
extended period of time and to manufacture these formulations using components
and processes believed to be suitable for human pharmaceutical use. ProLease is
designed to enable novel formulations of proteins and peptides by replacing
frequent injections with controlled, sustained release over time. The Registrant
believes ProLease formulations have the potential to improve patient compliance
and ease of use by reducing the need for frequent self-injection, to lower costs
by reducing the need for frequent office visits and to improve safety and
efficacy by reducing both the variability in drug levels inherent in frequent
injections and the aggregate amount of drug given over the course of therapy. In
addition, ProLease may provide access to important new markets currently
inaccessible to drugs that require frequent injections or are administered
orally.
The ProLease formulation process has been designed to assure stability
of fragile compounds during the manufacturing process, during storage and
throughout the release phase in the body. The formulation and manufacturing
process consists of two basic steps. First, the drug is formulated with
stabilizing agents and dried to create a fine powder. Second, the powder is
microencapsulated at very low temperatures. Incorporation of the drug substance
as a stabilized solid under very low temperatures is critical to protecting
fragile molecules from degradation during the manufacturing process and is a key
element of the ProLease technology. The microspheres are suspended in a small
volume of liquid prior to administration to a patient by injection under the
skin or into a muscle. The Registrant believes drug release from the ProLease
drug delivery system can be controlled to last from a few days to several
months.
Drug release from the microsphere is controlled by diffusion of the
drug through the microsphere and by biodegradation of the polymer. These
processes can be modulated through a number of formulation and fabrication
variables including drug substance and microsphere particle sizing and choice of
polymers and excipients.
The Registrant's experience with the application of ProLease to a wide
range of proteins and peptides has shown that high incorporation efficiencies
and high drug loads can be achieved. Proteins and peptides incorporated into
ProLease microspheres have maintained their integrity, stability and
4
<PAGE> 5
biological activity for up to 30 days in in vitro experiments conducted on
formulations manufactured at the preclinical and clinical trials scale.
The results of animal studies with several different ProLease
formulations have shown that ProLease can release targeted levels of drugs over
extended periods of time and that the pharmacodynamic response with ProLease
formulations can match that of continuous drug infusion. Suitable in vivo
delivery patterns in rodents and primates have been achieved with different
therapeutic proteins. In July 1996, Alkermes' scientists and their collaborators
published results of primate studies of ProLease hGH in Nature Medicine, a
peer-reviewed scientific journal. These results showed that single injections of
ProLease hGH could provide sustained release and biological effect of hGH in
primates for several weeks.
RMP-7: drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier
RMP-7, a member of a family of Receptor-Mediated Permeabilizers(TM)
("RMPs(TM)"), is a nine amino acid peptide based on bradykinin, a compound
occurring naturally in the body and known to affect vascular permeability. RMP-7
is a proprietary, synthetic analog of bradykinin developed by Alkermes to
increase transiently the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Following
injection, RMP-7 increases permeability by triggering a brief relaxation of the
tight cellular junctions of the blood-brain barrier. During the time the tight
junctions are relaxed, permeability is increased and drug molecules in the
bloodstream can diffuse into the brain in concentrations greater than can
usually be achieved without RMP-7. Preclinical and clinical data also suggest
that RMP-7 increases the uptake of pharmaceuticals in the region of brain tumor
and other pathology.
RMP-7 exerts a pharmacologic effect on the vasculature of the brain and
does not itself bind to or serve as a carrier for the drug of which it is
facilitating delivery. The Registrant is developing RMP-7 to be manufactured,
packaged and dispensed as a standalone product. In the clinical setting, RMP-7
is administered in conjunction with the therapeutic or diagnostic agent. Timing
of RMP-7 administration relative to that of the therapeutic or diagnostic agent
is determined on a drug by drug basis to optimize barrier permeability during
the time of peak drug plasma concentrations.
RMP-7 is intended to be marketed as an independent agent to increase
the utility of other therapeutic and diagnostic compounds given with it. The
Registrant believes RMP-7 may be administered along with cancer chemotherapeutic
and anti-infective agents not currently used in the treatment of central nervous
system disorders because of their limited ability to penetrate the blood-brain
barrier.
Medisorb: injectable sustained release of traditional small molecule
pharmaceuticals
Medisorb is a proprietary technology for encapsulating traditional
small molecule pharmaceuticals in microspheres made of common medical polymers.
Like ProLease, Medisorb is designed to enable novel formulations of
pharmaceuticals by providing controlled, sustained release over time. The
Registrant believes Medisorb is suitable for encapsulating stable, water
soluble, small molecule pharmaceuticals at a large scale. The Registrant
believes that Medisorb formulations may have superior features of safety,
efficacy, compliance and ease of use for drugs currently administered by
frequent injection or administered orally. Drug release from the microsphere is
controlled by
5
<PAGE> 6
diffusion of the pharmaceutical through the microsphere and by biodegradation of
the polymer. These processes can be modulated through a number of formulation
and fabrication variables, including drug substance and microsphere particle
sizing and choice of polymers and excipients.
The Medisorb drug delivery system uses manufacturing processes
different from the ProLease manufacturing process. The formulation and
manufacturing process consists of three basic steps. First, the drug is combined
with a polymer solution. Second, the drug/polymer solution is mixed in water to
form liquid microspheres (an emulsion). Third, the liquid microspheres are dried
to produce finished product. The microspheres are suspended in a small volume of
liquid prior to administration to a patient by injection under the skin or into
a muscle. Drug release from Medisorb can be controlled to last from a few days
to several weeks.
PROLEASE
Product Development Strategy. The Registrant's strategy is to generate
multiple product opportunities by applying ProLease technology to the
development of superior formulations of proteins and peptides that the
Registrant believes address significant market opportunities. The Registrant
believes these formulations have the potential to expand the utilization of
these products and improve the competitive advantage of its collaborators in
major markets.
The product development plan for individual ProLease formulations is
expected to proceed in several stages. First, the Registrant, either on its own
or pursuant to a collaboration, conducts initial feasibility work to test
various ProLease formulations for a particular drug in vitro and in vivo.
Following the successful completion of the feasibility stage, preclinical
development and manufacturing scale-up activities directed toward the initiation
of clinical trials of the ProLease formulation would be conducted in
collaboration with a partner.
ProLease Human Growth Hormone. Alkermes is developing a ProLease
formulation of Genentech's hGH in collaboration with Genentech. Growth hormone
deficiency results in short stature and potentially other developmental defects.
Genentech is the leading supplier of hGH in the United States. hGH is approved
for use in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency, Turner's
syndrome, chronic renal insufficiency and other indications and is being tested
in additional indications in adults. hGH is currently administered frequently,
often daily, by subcutaneous injection.
In February 1996, Alkermes commenced a Phase I clinical trial of
ProLease hGH in 13 growth hormone deficient adults. The study was completed in
August 1996. In November 1996, Alkermes commenced a multi-center Phase I/II
clinical trial of ProLease hGH in growth hormone deficient children. The trial
is being conducted in up to 11 medical centers in the United States and is
expected to enroll up to 62 patients.
ProLease Alpha Interferon. Alkermes is developing a ProLease
formulation of Schering-Plough's Intron(R) A (interferon alpha 2b) product in
collaboration with Schering-Plough. Schering-Plough is the leading supplier of
alpha interferon in the world. Intron A is approved for use in several
infectious diseases and certain oncology indications. Intron A is currently
administered by
6
<PAGE> 7
frequent injection. Schering-Plough is conducting preclinical studies and will
be responsible for clinical development.
ProLease Product for Hormone Mediated Disorders. Alkermes is developing
a ProLease formulation of a product for the treatment of hormone-mediated
disorders with Johnson & Johnson. The product development program was announced
in November 1996 following the successful completion by Alkermes of a
feasibility study initiated in early 1996. Johnson & Johnson is conducting
preclinical studies and will be responsible for clinical development.
Additional ProLease Formulations. Alkermes continues to develop
Prolease formulations of other unspecified compounds pursuant to feasibility
agreements with several pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
RMP-7
Product Development Strategy. The Registrant's strategy to date has
been to advance RMP-7 through clinical trials while establishing its safety,
permeability effects in humans and efficacy when used in combination with other
drugs. To support the clinical development of RMP-7, Alkermes formed, and
transferred substantially all of its rights to the RMP(TM) technology to,
Alkermes Clinical Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), which completed a $46
million unit offering in April 1992. Alkermes has the option to purchase all of
the limited partnership interests in the Partnership. See "Collaborative
Arrangements -- Alkermes Clinical Partners, L.P."
RMP-7 has the potential to be used in combination with a variety of
agents in various disease settings. The Registrant's goal is to expand the
applications of RMP-7 through its own development activities, and, when
appropriate, collaborations with pharmaceutical companies. First, Alkermes may
collaborate with companies having drugs whose uses could be expanded to include
central nervous system indications. In such cases, Alkermes and its partner
could collaborate in the clinical development of the combination without any
exchange of product rights. Second, Alkermes may collaborate with development
and marketing partners for RMP-7 in various business areas and geographic
territories. In such cases, Alkermes could license rights to RMP-7 to its
partner, subject to the rights of the Partnership. See "Collaborative
Arrangements -- Alkermes Clinical Partners, L.P."
Brain Tumor. RMP-7 is being tested initially for the treatment of
recurrent malignant glioma, an aggressive form of brain tumor. Alkermes believes
that RMP-7 may have applicability to the treatment and diagnosis of other types
of brain tumors. In that regard, the Registrant initiated, in February 1996, a
Phase I/II clinical trial of RMP-7 in patients with metastatic brain tumor. The
Registrant, in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute ("NCI"), also
initiated a Phase I/II clinical trial in August 1996 in pediatric patients with
brain tumors.
Brain tumors can be classified into two major groups: primary brain
tumors, which originate and recur in the brain, and metastatic brain tumors,
which are tumors that have spread to the brain from other parts of the body.
Each year in the United States and Europe a total of 40,000 patients are
diagnosed with primary brain tumors, of which approximately 60%-70% are
malignant glioma, and 150,000 patients are diagnosed with metastatic brain
tumors.
7
<PAGE> 8
Current treatment for brain tumors is limited and inadequate. Standard
treatment typically involves surgery to remove cancerous tissue, followed by
radiation therapy. After initial treatment with surgery and/or radiotherapy,
brain tumors often recur. Upon recurrence, tumors typically progress rapidly,
neurological function and quality of life deteriorate and patients die within
months. Chemotherapy has played only a limited role in treatment, in part due to
the limited access of many chemotherapeutic agents to the brain because of the
normally restrictive blood-brain barrier. Carboplatin is a chemotherapeutic
approved for use by the FDA and other regulatory authorities worldwide for use
in the treatment of various tumor types outside of the brain, but is limited in
its ability to penetrate into the brain. RMP-7 is designed to enable more
effective use of chemotherapeutic agents like carboplatin in the treatment of
brain tumors by transiently increasing the permeability of the blood-brain
barrier.
Alkermes is pursuing two alternative treatment strategies for RMP-7 and
carboplatin in patients with malignant brain tumor: intravenous and
intra-arterial administration. By pursuing both treatment methods, the
Registrant believes it strengthens the scientific foundation of the clinical
trials program and increases the likelihood of observing a treatment effect in
patients.
Recurrent Malignant Glioma Clinical Trials. The Registrant's clinical
strategy for RMP-7 has been to establish a foundation of safety and
pharmacologic effect of increasing blood-brain barrier permeability prior to
entering Phase II efficacy trials of RMP-7 administered in combination with
carboplatin. To date, over 600 human subjects have received RMP-7 in a series of
clinical trials in all indications studied. Through the Phase I and Phase I/II
clinical trials, RMP-7 was shown to have a good safety profile in volunteers and
patients. Transient flushing was the most consistent adverse event noted and
nausea and vomiting were determined to be the dose limiting toxicity. There was
no evidence of increased toxicity associated with the combination of RMP-7 and
carboplatin, and the drug combination was generally well tolerated by patients.
Based on the successful completion of Phase I and Phase I/II clinical
trials, Alkermes initiated multiple Phase II clinical trials both of intravenous
and intra-arterial RMP-7 and carboplatin in patients with recurrent malignant
glioma. Three multi-center Phase II clinical trials of intravenous RMP-7 and
carboplatin and one multi-center Phase II clinical trial of intra-arterial RMP-7
and carboplatin were designed and initiated. The results of the three Phase II
intravenous RMP-7 clinical trials provides a strong rationale for the
Registrant's decision to proceed in the United States and Europe into Phase III
efficacy trials of intravenous RMP-7 and carboplatin in patients with brain
tumors.
European Intravenous Phase II Clinical Trials: ALK01-013 and ALK01-019.
In Europe, two separate non-controlled, open label Phase II clinical trials of
intravenous RMP-7 and carboplatin in patients with recurrent malignant glioma
commenced in the first quarter of 1995. Patient enrollment was completed in May
1996, and preliminary results from the two clinical trials were announced in
December 1996.
The two clinical trials enrolled differing patient populations.
ALK01-013 ("Study-013") enrolled patients whose brain tumors had recurred
following previous treatment with surgery and radiotherapy. Such patients had
not previously been treated with chemotherapy. ALK01-019
8
<PAGE> 9
("Study-019") enrolled patients whose brain tumors had recurred following
previous treatment with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
In both clinical trials, patients received treatment cycles of RMP-7
and carboplatin approximately once every four weeks. Each cycle consisted of a
15-minute intravenous infusion of carboplatin and a concurrent 10-minute
intravenous infusion of RMP-7. The prospectively defined endpoints of the
clinical trials included response rates over the first four cycles of treatment
as determined by stabilization or improvement for a minimum of two cycles of
treatment as measured by three standardized tests of neurological impairment and
patient performance status and stabilization or reduction in tumor volume for a
minimum of two cycles as measured with contrast-enhanced MRI.
In Study-013, 45 patients were treated at nine medical centers in the
United Kingdom. The combination of RMP-7 and carboplatin was generally well
tolerated. Of the patients treated, 61% to 91% responded to treatment as
measured by three tests of neurological impairment and performance status. In
addition, 79% of patients responded to the treatment as measured by the size of
their tumor as measured with contrast-enhanced MRI.
An independent analysis conducted by a statistician from the Medical
Research Council ("MRC"), Cambridge, England, compared the effect on survival of
treatment with RMP-7 and carboplatin versus a group of historical control
patients matched on important prognostic factors. All comparisons favored the
group treated with RMP-7 and carboplatin versus the control group. This finding
was statistically significant (hazard ratio 1.9-2.2, p< = 0.02), after
accounting for the effects of prognostic factors.
In Study-019, 42 patients were treated at 11 medical centers in the
United Kingdom, France and Sweden. Treatment with the combination of RMP-7 and
carboplatin was generally well tolerated. Of the patients treated, 40% to 59%
responded to treatment as measured by three tests of neurological impairment and
performance status. In addition, 24% of patients responded to the treatment as
measured by the size of their tumor with contrast-enhanced MRI. The MRC did not
perform a comparison of patients in Study-019 to historical controls due to the
lack of a database of comparable patients who had failed surgery, radiotherapy
and chemotherapy.
There can be no assurance that the results of the European clinical
trials will be sufficient for the Registrant to obtain approval to market RMP-7
in Europe, or that the European regulatory bodies will not require additional
clinical trials. In addition, there can be no assurance that the results of a
Phase III trial will support the results of the European trials.
United States Intravenous Phase II Clinical Trial: ALK01-017. In the
United States, a Phase II clinical trial of intravenous RMP-7 and carboplatin
commenced in March 1995 and was conducted at 10 medical centers. Enrollment of
121 patients was completed in May 1996 and preliminary results from the clinical
trial were announced in March 1997.
The clinical trial was designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled
study comparing treatment with intravenous RMP-7 and carboplatin to treatment
with carboplatin alone in patients with recurrent malignant glioma. Patients
received treatment cycles of RMP-7 and carboplatin once approximately every four
weeks. Each cycle consisted of an approximately 45-minute intravenous
9
<PAGE> 10
infusion of carboplatin and a 10-minute intravenous infusion of RMP-7. The
prospectively defined endpoints included time to tumor progression as measured
by an increase of tumor volume measured with contrast-enhanced MRI of greater
than 50%, and three separate measurements of patients' functional capacity,
neurological impairment and quality of life.
The study did not meet its primary endpoint of time to tumor
progression as measured by changes in tumor volume on MRI. The study was
designed to include multiple additional endpoints. Observed trends toward
increased survival time, six months survival rate and slowed progression of
functional impairment for patients receiving the combination of RMP-7 and
carboplatin compared to patients receiving treatment with carboplatin alone are
being analyzed.
The results of the three Phase II clinical trials provide a strong
rationale for the Registrant's decision to proceed in the United States and
Europe into Phase III efficacy trials of intravenous RMP-7 and carboplatin in
patients with brain tumors.
United States Intra-arterial Phase II Clinical Trial: ALK01-031.
Alkermes initiated a multi-center Phase II clinical trial in the United States
of intra-arterial RMP-7 and carboplatin in March 1996. Enrollment of 51 patients
was completed in September 1996 at nine medical centers. Preliminary results
from the study are expected during fiscal 1998.
The clinical trial is designed as a non-controlled open label study of
the treatment with RMP-7 and carboplatin administered intra-arterially in
patients with recurrent malignant glioma. Patients receive treatment cycles of
RMP-7 and carboplatin once approximately every four weeks. Each cycle consists
of an approximately 45-minute intra-arterial infusion of carboplatin and a
10-minute intra-arterial infusion of RMP-7. The prospectively defined endpoints
include time to tumor progression as measured by an increase to tumor volume
measured with contrast-enhanced MRI of greater than 50%, and three separate
measurements of patients' functional capacity, neurological impairment and
quality of life.
Metastatic Brain Tumor Clinical Trials. Alkermes initiated a
multi-center Phase I/II non-controlled, open label clinical trial in Europe of
intravenous RMP-7 and carboplatin in patients with metastatic brain tumor in
April 1996. The study is being conducted at two medical centers and is expected
to enroll approximately 50 patients.
Alkermes also initiated a Phase I/II non-controlled, open label
clinical trial in the United States of intra-arterial RMP-7 and carboplatin in
patients with metastatic brain tumor in October 1995. The study is being
conducted at one medical center and is expected to enroll approximately 18
patients.
Pediatric Brain Tumor Clinical Trial. In August 1996, Alkermes, in
collaboration with the NCI, initiated a non-controlled, open label Phase I/II
clinical trial of intravenous RMP-7 and carboplatin in pediatric brain tumor
patients who had failed other therapies. The study is being sponsored and
conducted by the Pediatric Branch of the NCI and is expected to enroll
approximately 24 patients.

MEDISORB
Product Development Strategy. The Registrant's strategy is to generate
multiple product opportunities by applying Medisorb technology to the
development of superior formulations of small molecule pharmaceutical products.
The Registrant believes these formulations have the potential to expand the
utilization of these products and improve the competitive advantage of its
collaborators in major markets.
The product development plan for individual Medisorb formulations is
expected to proceed in several stages. First, the Registrant, either on its own
or pursuant to a collaboration, conducts initial feasibility work to test
various Medisorb formulations for a particular drug in vitro and in vivo.
Following the successful completion of the feasibility stage, preclinical
development and manufacturing scale-up activities directed toward the initiation
of clinical trials of the Medisorb formulation would be conducted in
collaboration with a partner.
Undisclosed Medisorb Product Candidate. Alkermes is developing and
manufacturing a Medisorb product candidate in collaboration with Janssen, a
subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. In 1996, Janssen completed initial Phase I
clinical trials of the Medisorb product candidate. The collaboration is focused
on process scale-up and manufacturing in anticipation of late-stage clinical
trials and, if successful, product commercialization. Janssen is responsible for
conducting all clinical trials.
COLLABORATIVE ARRANGEMENTS
The Registrant's business strategy includes forming collaborations to
provide technological, financial, marketing, manufacturing and other resources.
The Registrant has entered into several corporate collaborations.
Genentech, Inc.
In November 1996, Alkermes announced the completion of a Phase I
clinical trial of a ProLease hGH formulation in adults. Based in part on the
successful completion of the Phase I trial, Genentech exercised its option to
enter into a license agreement, and obtained from Alkermes a license coexclusive
in the United States and exclusive in the rest of the world for a ProLease
formulation of hGH. Under the terms of the agreement, Genentech could provide an
estimated $20.0 million in development funding for scale-up activities, clinical
trials materials, manufacturing and clinical trial expenses over the development
period. In addition, Alkermes could receive milestone payments of approximately
$10.0 million, if the ProLease hGH formulation is successfully developed and is
approved by regulatory authorities. Alkermes will be responsible for conducting
Phase I/II clinical trials and manufacturing the ProLease hGH formulation and is
to receive manufacturing revenues and royalties on sales. Alkermes also granted
Genentech an extension until November 1997 of its option to license ProLease for
another Genentech undisclosed protein.
Genentech has the right to terminate the agreement for any reason upon
30 days' written notice or, if the Registrant has begun manufacturing the
ProLease product for commercial sale, upon six months' written notice. In
addition, either party may terminate the agreement upon the other
11
<PAGE> 12
party's material default which is not cured within 90 days of written notice, or
upon the other party's insolvency or bankruptcy.
To fund the Registrant's activities during the initial phase of the
collaboration, Genentech has loaned the Registrant the aggregate amount of $3.5
million pursuant to a Convertible Promissory Note dated January 31, 1995 (the
"Note"). The outstanding principal amount of the Note accrues interest at the
prime rate of interest as reported by the Bank of America NT & SA from time to
time. The outstanding principal amount of the Note and accrued but unpaid
interest thereon becomes due and payable on January 31, 2000.
Under the terms of the Note, Alkermes has the option to convert, at any
time, all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereon (as such
amount may exist from time to time, the "Conversion Amount") into shares of
Common Stock at the average closing price of the Common Stock for the 20 trading
days ending the day before the conversion date (the "Conversion Price"). In
addition, Genentech shall have the right to convert the Conversion Amount into
shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price if at any time the total cash,
cash equivalents and marketable debt instruments of the Registrant shall be less
than the sum of (i) all indebtedness which ranks senior to the indebtedness
evidenced by the Note, and (ii) the Conversion Amount. Genentech also has the
right to demand that the Common Stock be registered under certain circumstances.
Schering-Plough Corporation
Under an amended development and license agreement with
Schering-Plough, the Registrant has agreed to develop an injectable delivery
system which incorporates Intron A as an active ingredient utilizing the
Registrant's ProLease delivery system and has granted to Schering-Plough an
exclusive worldwide royalty bearing license to manufacture, use and sell any
such system that may be developed pursuant to the amended agreement. Under the
amended agreement, Schering-Plough will also be responsible for conducting
clinical trials and securing regulatory approvals. The amended agreement
provides for development funding to the Registrant and provides for certain
payments to be made by Schering-Plough to the Registrant for its achievement of
certain milestones. The Registrant and Schering-Plough entered into a prepaid
royalty agreement pursuant to which Schering-Plough has prepaid certain
royalties. Payments to the Registrant were approximately $7.0 million through
March 31, 1997, and future milestone payments could exceed an additional $5.0
million, not including royalties.
Schering-Plough has the right to terminate the amended agreement upon
60 days' written notice upon the occurrence of certain events, including if the
Registrant fails to meet product specifications or an agreed upon delivery
schedule, the results of a safety and pharmacokinetics study provide
Schering-Plough with reasonable justification not to proceed to a Phase II
clinical trial, the use of the product results in adverse effects that justify
termination of clinical trials, Schering-Plough is unable to manufacture the
product on a commercial scale, or upon completion or permanent discontinuation
of the clinical trials. Either party may terminate the amended agreement upon
the insolvency or bankruptcy of the other party or upon a breach by the other
party which has not been cured after 60 days' notice. Schering-Plough also has
the right to terminate the amended agreement upon 90 days' written notice or
continue the development project on its own in the event Alkermes fails by an
agreed upon date to deliver batches of a ProLease formulation of Intron A that
meet
12
<PAGE> 13
agreed upon specifications. In the event Schering-Plough elects to continue the
development project after termination, it will remain obligated to pay Alkermes
milestone payments and royalties upon commercial sale. In the event
Schering-Plough terminates the amended agreement for any reason, Alkermes must
repay the prepaid royalties received from Schering-Plough with interest. Such
repayment obligation would be evidenced by an interest-bearing note and would be
payable in full on the third anniversary of the date of the note. Alkermes will
have the right, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to satisfy
its repayment obligation through the issuance of shares of its Common Stock. The
number of shares that may be issued would be based upon the average closing
price of Alkermes Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the 30 business
days immediately preceding the date on which the shares are delivered. Any
Common Stock issued to Schering-Plough must be freely resalable.
Johnson & Johnson
In November 1996, the Registrant entered into a development and license
agreement with Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, an affiliate of Johnson &
Johnson, for the development of a ProLease formulation of a Johnson & Johnson
proprietary compound (the "J&J Product Candidate"). The Registrant is developing
a sustained release formulation of this compound to treat hormone-mediated
disorders.
Pursuant to the development agreement, Johnson & Johnson obtained an
exclusive, worldwide, royalty bearing license to make, use and sell products
resulting from such agreement. In exchange, Johnson & Johnson is to provide the
Registrant with research and development funding, milestone payments and royalty
payments based on sales, if any, of the J&J Product Candidate. Development
funding and milestone payments could aggregate approximately $20 million,
assuming the development of the J&J Product Candidate proceeds in accordance
with its development plan. Johnson & Johnson is to be responsible for conducting
clinical trials and securing regulatory approvals and, together with its
affiliates, is to be responsible for the marketing of any products that result
from the collaboration. The Registrant expects to manufacture any such products
for commercial sales.
Johnson & Johnson may terminate the development agreement for any
reason, upon 90 days' written notice if such termination notice occurs prior to
filing a New Drug Application ("NDA") with the FDA, or upon six months' written
notice if such notice occurs subsequent to such a filing. In addition, either
party may terminate the development agreement and the related manufacturing
agreement upon a material default or breach by the other party of such agreement
which is not cured within 60 days' notice, or upon the other party's insolvency
or bankruptcy.
Janssen Pharmaceutica International
Pursuant to a development agreement, the Registrant is collaborating
with Janssen in the development of sustained release formulations, utilizing the
Medisorb technology, of an undisclosed Janssen product candidate. Under the
development agreement, the Registrant is responsible for production of the
Janssen product candidate for clinical trials. Janssen is responsible for
conducting clinical trials of the Janssen product candidate and securing all
necessary regulatory approvals.
13
<PAGE> 14
In October 1996, the Registrant announced the expansion of the
development agreement. Janssen has agreed to provide development funding of
approximately $20 million over a two year period, assuming the product continues
in clinical development. The funding will be used for manufacturing clinical
trials material and scale-up for commercial sale.
Under related license agreements, Janssen and an affiliate have
exclusive world-wide licenses from the Registrant to manufacture, use and sell
the Janssen product candidate. If Janssen decides to employ third-party
suppliers of the commercialized Janssen product developed under the development
agreement, the Registrant has a right of first refusal for the manufacture and
supply of such product, and component bio-absorbable polymers thereof. Under the
license agreements, Janssen is required to pay Alkermes certain royalties with
respect to all Medisorb formulations of the Janssen product sold to customers.
Janssen can terminate the development agreement or the license agreement upon 30
days' prior written notice.
Alkermes Clinical Partners, L.P.
In April 1992, Units consisting of limited partnership interests in the
Partnership and warrants to purchase the Registrant's Common Stock were sold to
investors in a private placement (the "Private Placement"). The proceeds of the
$46 million Private Placement have been used to fund the further development and
clinical testing of RMPs for human pharmaceutical use in the United States,
Canada and Europe. Such funding was not sufficient to complete clinical trials
and seek regulatory approval of RMP-7. Since the completion of funding from the
Partnership, which ended during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, Alkermes has
used, and intends to continue to use, its own resources to develop RMP-7, but
may be forced to seek alternative sources of funding, including additional
collaborators.
Pursuant to a product development agreement, dated March 6, 1992,
Alkermes transferred substantially all of its rights to the RMP technology to
the Partnership. Alkermes has an option to purchase all of the limited
partnership interests in the Partnership (the "Purchase Option") and thereby
reacquire the transferred technology. The Registrant is required to fund the
development of RMP-7 to maintain its Purchase Option.
The Partnership may terminate the research program for any or all
products upon the affirmative vote of 75% of the directors of the general
partner of the Partnership, Alkermes Development Corporation II ("ADC II"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Alkermes, that such research is not feasible or is
uneconomic. The Partnership may terminate the marketing program for any or all
products upon the affirmative vote of 75% of the directors of ADC II based on
the directors' good faith business judgment. The Partnership may also terminate
the research or marketing program if Alkermes has materially breached the
agreement and not cured such breach within 30 days' written notice. Both parties
may terminate the research or marketing program upon mutual consent to terminate
or upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the other party.
The Partnership has granted Alkermes an exclusive interim license to
manufacture and market RMPs for human pharmaceutical use in the United States
and Canada. Upon the first marketing approval of an RMP product by the FDA,
Alkermes is obligated to make a payment to the Partnership equal to 20% of the
aggregate capital contributions of all limited partners. Additionally,
14
<PAGE> 15
Alkermes will pay royalty payments equal to 12% of United States and Canadian
revenues and, in certain circumstances, 10% of European revenues from any sales
of RMPs by Alkermes. The interim license will terminate if Alkermes does not
exercise the Purchase Option. Alkermes can exercise the Purchase Option by
making a payment to the partnership equal to 80% of the aggregate capital
contributions of all limited partners in addition to royalty payments in the
same percentages as provided for under the interim license agreement.
The general partner of the Partnership is ADC II. Fifty percent of the
members of the board of directors of ADC II are persons not affiliated with
Alkermes. Such non-affiliated persons were nominated by the sales agent for the
Private Placement. The sales agent will continue to have the right to nominate
at least half of the members of ADC II's board of directors until ADC II or some
other affiliate of Alkermes ceases to be the general partner of the Partnership,
the Partnership terminates in accordance with the terms of the Limited
Partnership Agreement or the sales agent's venture capital investment
partnership ceases to be a limited partner of the Partnership.
ALZA Corporation
In February 1997, the Registrant agreed to collaborate with ALZA
Corporation on the development of a to-be-determined product candidate, based on
either the Medisorb or ProLease drug delivery system. The economic terms of such
a collaboration are to be negotiated.
MANUFACTURING
Each of the Registrant's three drug delivery systems utilizes a
distinct manufacturing process.
ProLease
ProLease manufacturing involves microencapsulation of drug substances
provided to Alkermes by its collaborators in small polymeric microspheres using
extremely cold processing conditions suitable for fragile molecules. The
ProLease manufacturing process consists of two basic steps. First, the drug is
formulated with stabilizing agents and dried to create a fine powder. Second,
the powder is microencapsulated at very low temperatures.
Alkermes has completed construction of an in-house pilot production
facility that has been validated by the Registrant for manufacturing in
accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP"). The facility is being used
to manufacture product candidates incorporating its ProLease sustained-release
delivery system for use in clinical trials. This facility is not capable of
manufacturing products on a commercial scale. Pursuant to agreements with
certain of its collaborators, Alkermes has the right to manufacture ProLease
products for commercial sale. Alkermes expects to begin construction of a new
commercial scale ProLease manufacturing facility of approximately 30,000 square
feet during fiscal 1998.
RMP-7
RMP-7 is a small peptide manufactured using standard synthetic
techniques. Alkermes relies on an independent European pharmaceutical company
for the manufacture and supply of RMP-7.
15
<PAGE> 16
Scale-up of RMP-7 manufacturing process to support international clinical trials
and commercial launch has been completed. Alkermes believes that, if necessary,
there are other companies which could manufacture and supply its requirements
for RMP-7.
Medisorb
The Medisorb manufacturing process is significantly different from the
ProLease process and is based on a method of encapsulating small molecule drugs,
provided by the Registrant's collaborator, in polymers using a large-scale
emulsification. The Medisorb manufacturing process consists of three basic
steps. First, the drug is combined with a polymer solution. Second, the
drug/polymer solution is mixed in water to form liquid microspheres (an
emulsion). Third, the liquid microspheres are dried to produce finished product.
Alkermes owns a 14,000 square foot GMP sterile manufacturing facility
in Wilmington, Ohio. Alkermes is manufacturing a product candidate incorporating
its Medisorb sustained-release delivery system for use by Janssen in clinical
trials at this facility. It does not manufacture such product candidates on a
commercial scale. During fiscal 1998, Alkermes intends to expand its current
manufacturing facility by an additional 20,000 square feet, so that it can
manufacture Medisorb product candidates on a commercial scale.
The manufacture of the Registrant's products for clinical trials and
commercial purposes is subject to current GMP and other federal regulations. The
Registrant has never operated an FDA-approved manufacturing facility, and there
can be no assurance that it will obtain necessary approvals for commercial
manufacturing.
If Alkermes is not able to develop manufacturing capacity and
experience or to continue to contract for manufacturing capabilities on
acceptable terms, its ability to conduct preclinical testing and clinical trials
will be compromised, and delays in obtaining regulatory approvals might result,
as well as commercial sales if approvals are obtained. Such delays could
materially adversely affect the Registrant's competitive position and its
business, financial condition and results of operations.
MARKETING
Alkermes plans to market and sell RMP-7, if successfully developed and
approved, either directly or through co-promotion or other licensing
arrangements with third parties. Such arrangements may be exclusive or
nonexclusive and may provide for marketing rights worldwide or in a specific
market.
Alkermes intends to market any ProLease and Medisorb products through
its corporate partners. Alkermes has entered into development agreements,
including sales and marketing, for ProLease product candidates with Genentech,
Schering-Plough and Johnson & Johnson, and for a Medisorb product candidate with
Janssen. See "Collaborative Arrangements."
Alkermes currently has no experience in marketing or selling
pharmaceutical products. In order to achieve commercial success for any product
candidate approved by the FDA, Alkermes must
16
<PAGE> 17
either develop a marketing and sales force or enter into arrangements with third
parties to market and sell its products. There can be no assurance that Alkermes
will successfully develop such experience or that it will be able to enter into
marketing and sales agreements with others on acceptable terms, if at all. If
the Registrant develops its own marketing and sales capability, it will compete
with other companies that currently have experienced and well funded marketing
and sales operations. To the extent the Registrant enters into co-promotion or
other sales and marketing arrangements with other companies, any revenues
received by the Registrant will be dependent on the efforts of others, and there
can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful.
COMPETITION
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are subject to rapid
and substantial technological change. Alkermes faces, and will continue to face,
intense competition in the development, manufacturing, marketing and
commercialization of its product candidates from academic institutions,
government agencies, research institutions, biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies, including its collaborators, and drug delivery companies. There can
be no assurance that developments by others will not render the Registrant's
product candidates or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive, or that the
Registrant's collaborators will not choose to use competing drug delivery
methods. At the present time, Alkermes has no sales force or marketing or
commercial manufacturing experience. In addition, many of the Registrant's
competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater capital
resources, manufacturing and marketing experience, research and development
resources and production facilities than does Alkermes. Many of these
competitors also have significantly greater experience than Alkermes in
undertaking preclinical testing and clinical trials of new pharmaceutical
products and obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals.
With respect to RMP-7, the Registrant believes that there are currently
no products approved by the FDA for increasing the permeability of the
blood-brain barrier. There are, however, many novel experimental therapies for
the treatment of brain tumor and central nervous system infections being tested
in the United States and Europe.
With respect to ProLease and Medisorb, the Registrant is aware that
there are other companies developing sustained-release delivery systems for
pharmaceutical products. In addition, other companies are developing new
chemical entities which, if developed successfully, could compete against
sustained-release formulations of products of the Registrant's collaborators.
These chemical entities are being designed to have different mechanisms of
action or improved safety and efficacy. In addition, the Registrant's
collaborators may develop, either alone or with others, products that compete
with the development and marketing of the Registrant's product candidates.
There can be no assurance that the Registrant will be able to compete
successfully with such companies. The existence of products developed by the
Registrant's competitors, or other products or treatments of which the
Registrant is not aware, or products or treatments that may be developed in the
future, may adversely affect the marketability of products developed by the
Registrant.
17
<PAGE> 18
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Registrant's success will be dependent, in part, on its ability to
obtain patent protection for its product candidates and those of its
collaborators, maintaining trade secret protection and operating without
infringing upon the proprietary rights of others.
The Registrant has a proprietary portfolio of patent rights and
exclusive licenses to patents and patent applications. The Registrant has filed
numerous United States and international patent applications directed to
composition of matter as well as processes of preparation and methods of use,
including applications relating to: permeabilizers, certain rights to which have
been licensed to the Partnership, of which one United States patent was issued
in each of May 1992, December 1993, April 1996 and December 1996; carriers for
enabling passage into the brain of therapeutic compounds, of which one United
States patent was issued in each of October 1992, January 1993 and June 1996; a
ProLease microencapsulation process, of which one United States patent was
issued in May 1991; the formulation of ProLease composition of which one United
States patent was issued in May 1995; a Medisorb microencapsulation process of
which one United States patent was issued in June 1983; and 11 additional United
States patents related to Medisorb methods and compositions that were issued
between July 1985 and June 1995. In the future, the Registrant plans to file
further United States and foreign patent applications directed to new or
improved products and processes. The United States patents issued to the
Registrant will expire between 2000 and 2014. Alkermes intends to file
additional patent applications when appropriate and intends to defend its patent
position aggressively.
Alkermes has exclusive rights through licensing agreements with several
institutions to nine issued United States patents, a number of United States
patent applications and to corresponding foreign patents and patent applications
in many countries, subject in certain instances to the rights of the United
States government to use the technology covered by such patents and patent
applications. The United States patents that have been licensed to the
Registrant will expire between the years 2003 and 2013. Under certain licensing
agreements, the Registrant currently pays annual license fees and/or minimum
annual royalties. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, such fees were
approximately $92,000. In addition, under all licensing agreements, Alkermes is
obligated to pay royalties on future sales of products, if any, covered by the
licensed patents.
The Registrant is aware of several United States patents issued to
third parties containing claims which could be construed to cover some of the
Registrant's product candidates utilizing its ProLease, RMP-7, and Medisorb
delivery systems. In one case, the Registrant has received a letter from the
owner of a patent asking the Registrant to compare the Registrant's Medisorb
technology disclosed in a published international patent application with such
owner's patented technology. There can be no assurance that the claims of the
issued United States patents are not infringed by the proposed manufacture, use,
offer for sale, or sale of these products by the Registrant or its
collaborators. There can be no assurance that a third party will not file an
infringement action, or that the Registrant would prevail in any such action.
There can be no assurance that the cost of defending an infringement action
would not be substantial, and would not have a material adverse effect on the
Registrant's business, financial condition and results of operations. The
Registrant is also aware of patent applications filed by third parties in the
United States and in various foreign countries which may cover some of the
Registrant's product candidates utilizing its ProLease, RMP-7
18
<PAGE> 19
or Medisorb delivery systems. Patents may issue from these applications which
could preclude the Registrant from manufacturing, using, offering for sale, or
selling some of its ProLease, RMP-7 or Medisorb product candidates. Furthermore,
there can be no assurance that any licenses under such patents would be made
available on commercially viable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain any
required license could prevent the Registrant from commercializing one or more
of its products.
The patent positions of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and
biotechnology firms, including Alkermes, are generally uncertain and involve
complex legal and factual questions. In addition, there can be no assurance that
the Registrant's or its licensors' current patent applications will be allowed
or that the claims of any patents issued to Alkermes or its licensors (in
connection with either or both the Registrant's product candidates or the
Partnership's product candidate) will be sufficiently broad to protect the
Registrant's or the Partnership's technology or to provide Alkermes or the
Partnership with any competitive advantages. Moreover, no assurance can be given
that patents issued to Alkermes (in connection with either or both the
Registrant's product candidates or the Partnership's product candidate), or its
respective licensors, if any, will not be contested, invalidated or
circumvented. In addition, if Alkermes or the Partnership is required to bring
or defend against a narrowed charge of patent infringement or to protect its own
proprietary rights against third parties, substantial costs could be incurred.
In the future, Alkermes may be required to obtain additional licenses
to patents or other proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no
assurance that any such licenses will be available on acceptable terms, if at
all, and failure to obtain such licenses could result in delays in marketing the
Registrant's products or the inability to proceed with the development,
manufacture or sale of product candidates requiring such licenses.
The Registrant also relies upon unpatented trade secrets and
improvements, unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to
develop and maintain its competitive position which it seeks to protect, in
part, by confidentiality agreements with its corporate partners, collaborators,
employees and consultants. There can be no assurance that these agreements will
not be breached, that the Registrant would have adequate remedies for any
breach, or that the Registrant's trade secrets will not otherwise become known
or be independently discovered by competitors.
The Registrant's practice is to require its employees, consultants and
advisors to execute a confidentiality agreement upon the commencement of an
employment or consulting relationship with the Registrant. The agreements
provide that all confidential information developed or made known to an
individual during the course of the employment or consulting relationship shall
be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specified
circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all
inventions conceived by the individual while employed by the Registrant shall be
the exclusive property of the Registrant. There can be no assurance, however,
that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for the Registrant's
trade secrets in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such
information.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products in the United
States require the approval of the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act. Similar approvals by
19
<PAGE> 20
comparable agencies are required in most foreign countries. The FDA has
established mandatory procedures and safety standards which apply to the
preclinical testing and clinical trials, manufacture and marketing of
pharmaceutical products. Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are also
regulated by state, local and other authorities.
As an initial step in the FDA regulatory approval process, preclinical
studies are typically conducted in animal models to assess the drug's efficacy
and to identify potential safety problems. The results of these studies must be
submitted to the FDA as part of an Investigational New Drug application ("IND"),
which must be reviewed by the FDA before proposed clinical testing can begin.
Typically, clinical testing involves a three-phase process. Phase I trials are
conducted with a small number of subjects and are designed to provide
information about both product safety and the expected dose of the drug. Phase
II trials are designed to provide additional information on dosing and
preliminary evidence of product efficacy. Phase III trials are large scale
studies designed to provide statistical evidence of efficacy and safety in
humans. The results of the preclinical testing and clinical trials of a
pharmaceutical product are then submitted to the FDA in the form of a New Drug
Application ("NDA"), or for a biological product in the form of a Product
License Application ("PLA"), for approval to commence commercial sales.
Preparing such applications involves considerable data collection, verification,
analysis and expense. In responding to an NDA or PLA, the FDA may grant
marketing approval, request additional information or deny the application if it
determines that the application does not satisfy its regulatory approval
criteria.
Prior to marketing, any product developed by Alkermes or its
collaborators must undergo an extensive regulatory approval process, which
includes preclinical testing and clinical trials of such product candidate to
demonstrate safety and efficacy. This regulatory process can require many years
and the expenditure of substantial resources. Data obtained from preclinical
testing and clinical trials are subject to varying interpretations, which can
delay, limit or prevent FDA approval. In addition, changes in FDA approval
policies or requirements may occur or new regulations may be promulgated which
may result in delay or failure to receive FDA approval. Similar delays or
failures may be encountered in foreign countries. Delays and costs in obtaining
regulatory approvals would have a material adverse effect on the Registrant's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Among the conditions for NDA or PLA approval is the requirement that
the prospective manufacturer's quality control and manufacturing procedures
conform on an ongoing basis with GMP. Before approval of an NDA or PLA, the FDA
will perform a prelicensing inspection of the facility to determine its
compliance with GMP and other rules and regulations. In complying with GMP,
manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of
production and quality control to ensure full technical compliance. After the
establishment is licensed, it is subject to periodic inspections by the FDA.
The requirements which the Registrant must satisfy to obtain regulatory
approval by governmental agencies in other countries prior to commercialization
of its products in such countries can be as rigorous and costly as those
described above.
The Registrant is also subject to various laws and regulations relating
to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices, the
experimental use of animals and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially
hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and
20
<PAGE> 21
infectious disease agents, used in connection with the Registrant's research.
Compliance with laws and regulations relating to the protection of the
environment has not had a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or
the competitive position of the Registrant. However, the extent of government
regulation which might result from any legislative or administrative action
cannot be accurately predicted.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 6, 1997, the Registrant had 177 full-time employees. A
significant number of the Registrant's management and professional employees
have had prior experience with pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical product
companies. Alkermes believes that it has been highly successful in attracting
skilled and experienced scientific personnel; however, competition for such
personnel is intense. None of the Registrant's employees is covered by a
collective bargaining agreement.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Registrant leases and occupies approximately 97,000 square feet of
laboratory and office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts under five leases
expiring in the years 1998 to 2008. The leases contain provisions permitting the
Registrant to extend the term of such leases for up to ten years. The Registrant
has completed construction of a GMP pilot suite at its Massachusetts facility.
Such suite is for the manufacture of product candidates incorporating the
ProLease delivery system for preclinical and clinical trials. The Registrant
also expects to begin construction of a new commercial scale ProLease
manufacturing facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts during fiscal 1998. The
Registrant believes that its Massachusetts facilities are adequate for its
preclinical and clinical operations. The Registrant does not manufacture and
does not expect to manufacture RMPs for clinical trials. The Registrant has
engaged a third party to manufacture preclinical, clinical and commercial
supplies of RMPs.
Alkermes Europe, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant,
leases and occupies approximately 4,600 square feet of office space in
Cambridge, England under a lease expiring in the year 2002. The Registrant
believes that such office space is adequate for the operations of Alkermes
Europe, Ltd.
The Registrant owns and occupies approximately 14,000 square feet of
manufacturing, office and laboratory space in Wilmington, Ohio. The facility
contains a state-of-the-art GMP sterile production facility specifically
designed for the production of Medisorb microspheres. The Registrant also
expects to begin an expansion of its Medisorb manufacturing facility during
fiscal 1998. The Registrant believes that its Wilmington facility is adequate
for its preclinical and clinical operations.
The Registrant also leases and occupies approximately 25,000 square
feet of laboratory and office space in Blue Ash, Ohio under a lease expiring in
1998. The Registrant believes that the Blue Ash facility is adequate for its
operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Alkermes, Inc. and Subsidiaries
INTRODUCTION
Alkermes develops innovative pharmaceutical products based on three
proprietary drug delivery systems: ProLease(R), RMP-7(TM) and Medisorb(R). Since
its inception in 1987, the Company has devoted substantially all of its
resources to its research and development programs. Alkermes has not received
any revenue from the sales of products. The Company has been unprofitable since
inception and expects to incur substantial additional operating losses over the
next several years. At March 31, 1997, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$119.8 million.
The Company has funded its operations primarily through public
offerings and private placements of equity securities, bank loans and payments
under research and development agreements with collaborators, including Alkermes
Clinical Partners, L.P. ("Clinical Partners"), a research and development
limited partnership whose operations commenced in April 1992. The Company
intends to develop its product candidates in collaboration with others on whom
the Company will rely for funding, development, manufacturing and/or marketing.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Any statements set forth below or otherwise made in writing or orally
by the Company with regard to its expectations as to financial results and other
aspects of its business may constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the
Company makes such statements based on assumptions which it believes to be
reasonable, the Company's business is subject to significant risks and there can
be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the
Company's expectations. Accordingly, the Company hereby identifies the following
important factors, among others, which could cause its results to differ from
any results which might be projected, forecasted or estimated by the Company in
any such forward-looking statements: (i) the Company and its collaborators could
not be permitted by regulatory authorities to undertake additional clinical
trials for ProLease, RMP-7, or Medisorb product candidates; (ii) product
candidates could be ineffective or unsafe during clinical trials; (iii) the
Company could incur difficulties or set-backs in obtaining the substantial
additional funding required to continue research and development programs and
clinical trials; (iv) even if product candidates appear promising at an early
stage of development, product candidates could fail to receive necessary
regulatory approvals, be difficult to manufacture on a large scale, be
uneconomical, fail to achieve market acceptance, be precluded from
commercialization by proprietary rights of third parties or experience
substantial competition in the marketplace; (v) technological change in the
biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries could render the Company's product
candidates obsolete or noncompetitive; (vi) disputes with collaborators,
termination of collaborations or failure to negotiate acceptable new
collaborative arrangements for ProLease and Medisorb technologies, which are not
independently commercializable, could occur; (vii) disputes with Clinical
Partners over rights to the RMP-7 and related technology could occur, or the
Company could fail to purchase this technology from Clinical Partners pursuant
to the purchase option (the "Purchase Option"), or, if the Company did purchase
RMP(TM) technology from Clinical Partners (a) in shares of the Company's common
stock, the Company's shareholders would be substantially diluted or (b) in cash,
the Company's capital resources would be significantly depleted; and (viii)
difficulties or set-backs in obtaining and enforcing Alkermes' patents and
difficulties with the patent rights of others could occur.

<PAGE> 27
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's research and development revenue under collaborative
arrangement with related party was $1,415,313, $11,182,741 and $9,277,371 for
the fiscal years ended in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This revenue was
received from Clinical Partners under a product development agreement entered
into in March 1992. The decrease in such revenue for fiscal 1997 as compared to
fiscal 1996 was a result of the completion of funding from Clinical Partners
pursuant to the product development agreement during the quarter ended June 30,
1996. The increase in such revenue for fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995
was a result of increased reimbursable costs incurred by the Company pursuant to
such product development agreement. The Company's research and development
revenue under collaborative arrangements was $15,968,317, $2,848,510 and
$3,049,106 for the fiscal years ended in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
increase in such revenue for fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996 was mainly
the result of the funding earned and milestones achieved under new or expanded
collaborative agreements related to the Company's ProLease and Medisorb
technologies. The decrease in such revenue for fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal
1995 was primarily a result of the completion of the feasibility phase of a
collaborative agreement with Boehringer Mannheim GmbH, partially offset by an
expanded collaboration with Schering-Plough Corporation.
Interest income was $2,443,317, $1,887,275 and $1,576,794 for the
fiscal years ended in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in such
revenue for fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996 was primarily a result of the
investment of the net proceeds of approximately $22.9 million received upon the
consummation of a public offering of the Company's common stock in May 1996 as
well as the investment of the net proceeds of approximately $49.7 million from
the sale to ALZA Corporation of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock
in March 1997. The increase in fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal 1995 was
primarily a result of the investment of the net proceeds of approximately $14.8
million received upon the consummation of a public offering of the Company's
common stock in September and October 1995.
The Company's total operating expenses were $38,624,765 for the fiscal
year ended in 1997 as compared to $29,665,610 and $25,807,424 for the fiscal
years ended in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company separately recorded a
$750,000 nonrecurring charge in March 1996 for Medisorb technology purchased but
not yet commercially viable. The Company's research and development expenses
were $29,553,988 for the fiscal year ended in 1997 compared to $21,586,316 and
$18,955,347 for the fiscal years ended in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
increase for fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996 was mainly as a result of
salary and related benefits and other operating costs associated with the
acquisition of the Medisorb technology and certain related assets in March 1996.
There was also an increase in the purchase of lab supplies and clinical expenses
related primarily to the Company's ProLease and RMP-7 programs, partially offset
by a reduction in the costs of preclinical work in the Company's RMP-7 program
which was completed during the prior year. The increase for fiscal 1996 as
compared to fiscal 1995 was mainly the result of an increase in the purchase of
lab supplies and preclinical and clinical expenses related primarily to the
Company's RMP-7 and ProLease programs.
General and administrative expenses were $7,689,625, $6,285,700 and
$5,104,062 for the fiscal years ended in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
increase for fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996 was primarily as a result of
salary and related benefits and other operating costs associated with the
acquisition of the Medisorb technology and certain related assets in March 1996
as well as an increase in patent legal costs. The increase for fiscal 1996 as
compared to fiscal 1995 was primarily the result of non-cash charges related to
the write-down of the Company's investments in Clinical Partners and an increase
in patent legal costs and other legal costs associated with financing and other
transactions. In February and April 1996, the Company purchased, for
approximately $2.1 million, 74 Class A units that were owned by investors who
defaulted on their obligations to make installment payments for such units. The
Company wrote down its investment in these Class A units ratably over the period
February through June 1996 as Clinical Partners used these and other funds to
complete its obligation to Alkermes to fund research and development of RMP-7.
The Company does not believe that inflation and changing prices has had
a material impact on its results of operations.

<PAGE> 28
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1997, the Company had current assets totaling $89,868,040,
primarily consisting of $2,799,012 in cash and cash equivalents and $82,497,939
in U.S. Treasury Notes and other Government obligations having a maturity of
less than one year; and current liabilities of $8,200,623. The Company's
short-term investment objectives are, first, to assure conservation of
principal, and second, to obtain investment income. As a result, the Company
invests primarily in high grade government or government-backed securities.
During fiscal 1997, the Company announced three new or expanded
collaborative agreements. Development funding and milestone payments to Alkermes
under these collaborations could exceed $70 million in the aggregate (of which
$14.5 million was earned during fiscal 1997), assuming the development of the
product candidates proceeds as planned.
In March 1997, the Company completed a private placement of 2,000,000
shares of its common stock at $25 per share. Net proceeds to the Company were
approximately $49.7 million.
In May 1996, the Company completed a direct public offering of
2,300,000 shares of its common stock at $10 per share. Net proceeds to the
Company were approximately $22.9 million.
In September 1996, the Company amended its loan agreement with a bank
to increase the principal amount of the loan by $5 million, securing the
existing and the additional principal amount of the loan with a building and
real property pursuant to a mortgage and certain of the Company's equipment
pursuant to a security agreement.
The Company's research and development costs to date have been financed
primarily by sales of equity securities and research and development
collaborative arrangements. The Company expects to incur significant research
and development and other costs, including costs related to preclinical studies,
clinical trials and facilities expansion. The research and development revenue
from Clinical Partners ended during the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Such
funding was not sufficient to complete clinical trials and seek regulatory
approval of RMP-7. Since the completion of funding from Clinical Partners,
Alkermes has used and intends to continue to use its own resources to develop
RMP-7, but may be forced to seek alternative sources of funding, including
additional collaborators. The Company is required to fund the development of
RMP-7 to maintain its purchase option relating to Clinical Partners. Therefore,
the Company expects that such costs will exceed revenues significantly for the
next several years, which will result in continuing losses from operations.
The Company expects to begin construction of a new commercial scale
ProLease manufacturing facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts during fiscal 1998.
The Company also expects to begin an expansion of its Medisorb manufacturing
facility in Wilmington, Ohio during fiscal 1998. The total cost for both
facilities is expected to be approximately $15 to $20 million. The Company's
capital expenditures for equipment, facilities and building improvements have
been financed to date primarily with proceeds from bank loans and the sales of
equity securities. The Company will continue to pursue opportunities to obtain
additional financing in the future. Such financing may be sought through various
sources, including equity offerings, bank borrowings, lease arrangements
relating to fixed assets or other financing methods. The source, timing and
availability of any financings will depend on market conditions, interest rates
and other factors.
The Company believes its current cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, combined with anticipated interest income and research and
development revenues under collaborative arrangements, will be sufficient to
meet its anticipated capital requirements through at least March 31, 1999. The
Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including
continued scientific progress in its research and development programs, the
magnitude of these programs, progress with preclinical and clinical trials, the
time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the costs involved in
filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims, competing technological and
market developments, the establishment of additional collaborative arrangements,
the cost of manufacturing facilities and of commercialization activities and
arrangements and the cost of product in-licensing and any possible acquisitions.
28
<PAGE> 29
The Company will need to raise substantial additional funds for
longer-term product development, regulatory approvals and manufacturing or
marketing activities that it might undertake in the future. There can be no
assurance that additional funds will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to curtail
significantly one or more of its research and development programs and/or obtain
funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may
require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies, product
candidates or future products.
As disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" in the quarter ended December 31, 1997 is not expected to
have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements because the
Company continues to be in a net loss position and, consequently, common
equivalent shares from stock options and warrants are excluded as their effect
is antidilutive.

standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Alkermes, Inc. and subsidiaries as

ALKERMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. FORMATION OF THE COMPANY
Alkermes, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in July 1987 and is a
leader in the development of products based on sophisticated drug delivery
technologies. Alkermes' focus is on two important drug delivery
opportunities: (i) controlled, sustained release of injectable drugs
lasting several days to several weeks, utilizing its ProLease(R) and
Medisorb(R) technologies; and (ii) the delivery of drugs into the brain
past the blood-brain barrier, utilizing RMP-7(TM) technology.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Alkermes, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alkermes
Controlled Therapeutics, Inc. ("ACTI"), Alkermes Controlled Therapeutics,
Inc. II ("ACT II") (see Note 3), Alkermes Investments, Inc., Alkermes
Development Corporation II ("ADC II") and Alkermes Europe, Ltd. ADC II
serves as the one percent general partner of Alkermes Clinical Partners,
L.P. ("Clinical Partners"), a limited partnership engaged in a research and
development project with the Company (see Note 7). ADC II's investment in
Clinical Partners is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial
instruments. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts
payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their
short-term nature. Marketable equity securities are recorded in the
consolidated financial statements at amortized cost which approximates fair
value. The carrying amounts of the Company's debt instruments approximate
fair value.
NET LOSS PER WEIGHTED AVERAGE NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES - Net loss per share
is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REVENUES - Research and development revenues are
recorded as services are performed. Revenue earned upon the attainment of
research and development milestones is recorded when achieved.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES - Research and development expenses are
charged to operations as incurred.
INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's
consolidated financial statements and tax returns (see Note 6).
37
<PAGE> 38
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash equivalents, with purchased maturities of three
months or less, consist of money market accounts.
INVESTMENTS - Securities that the Company has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are reported at amortized cost and are
classified as "held-to-maturity."
Short-term investments and investments consist of U.S. Treasury and other
government securities which are classified as "held-to-maturity" and
reported at amortized cost. Short-term investments and investments have
maturity dates within one year of the balance sheet date. Investments
classified as long-term include securities held as collateral. The carrying
value of all investments approximated market value at March 31, 1997 and
1996.
Included in other investments is an investment in Cortex Pharmaceutical
Inc.'s common stock, which is classified as "available-for-sale" and
reported at fair market value. During the year ended March 31, 1995, the
Company recorded a charge to operations of $1,140,000 due to other than
temporary reductions in the market value of such investment. Other
investments also include ADC II's investment in Clinical Partners.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment are recorded
at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line
method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings -
25 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment - 3 to 5 years; or, in the case
of leasehold improvements and capital leases, over the lease terms - 3 to
10 years.
DEFERRED REVENUE - LONG-TERM - During fiscal 1996, the Company received a
$5,000,000 prepayment of royalties under a collaborative agreement. This
amount has been recorded as deferred revenue at March 31, 1997 and 1996 and
accrues interest (included in other long-term liabilities) at a rate
(6.15625% at March 31, 1997) equal to .20% above the one-year LIBOR rate.
LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND PURCHASED PATENTS - License agreements and purchased
patents, included in other assets, are amortized on a straight-line basis
over a period of five years.
RECEIVABLE FOR WARRANTS AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION - Receivable for warrants
is comprised of amounts receivable related to warrants issued in connection
with the capitalization of Clinical Partners and was amortized as revenues
were earned from Clinical Partners. Deferred compensation is related to
both the Company's 1991 Restricted Common Stock Award Plan and compensatory
stock options and is amortized over vesting periods ranging from one to
five years.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In March 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of," which requires the Company to review for impairment of long-lived
assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those
assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In certain situations,
an impairment loss would be recognized. The Company adopted SFAS No. 121
during fiscal 1997. The adoption did not have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
38
<PAGE> 39
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED) - In fiscal 1997, the Company
also implemented the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation." The Company continues to account for its
stock-based transactions with employees in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25"), "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and will provide pro forma disclosures of net loss
and net loss per share as if the fair value basis method prescribed by SFAS
No. 123 had been applied in measuring employee compensation expense (see
Note 10).
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," in
which the Company is required to adopt in the quarter ending December 31,
1997. SFAS No. 128 requires companies to change the method currently used
to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods for
comparability. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to have any
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements because the
Company continues to be in a net loss position and, consequently, common
equivalent shares from stock options and warrants are excluded as their
effect is antidilutive.
3. ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN ASSETS AND TECHNOLOGY
On March 8, 1996, ACT II acquired certain assets and technology owned or
used by Medisorb Technologies International L.P., a leader in the
development of injectable controlled release drug delivery technologies for
the pharmaceutical industry. The assets acquired included a large scale
pharmaceutical production facility and equipment. The Company paid
$4,000,000 in cash for the assets and technology. A nonrecurring charge
totaling $750,000 for technology purchased but not yet commercially viable
was recorded by the Company at the acquisition date. This charge represents
that portion of the purchase price of the acquired technology that was
allocated to research and development in-process.
4. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
In September and October 1995, the Company completed an underwritten public
offering of 2,300,000 shares of its common stock at $7.00 per share. Net
proceeds to the Company were approximately $14,800,000.
In May 1996, the Company completed a direct public offering of 2,300,000
shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company
were approximately $22,900,000.
In March 1997, the Company completed a private placement of 2,000,000
shares of its common stock at $25.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company
were approximately $49,700,000.

</TABLE>
The first bank loan is secured by a building and real property pursuant to
a mortgage and certain of the Company's equipment pursuant to security
agreements. The loan is also secured by cash collateral (included in
long-term investments at March 31, 1997) having a minimum market value of
the lesser of $1,000,000 or the outstanding principal amount of the loan.
Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company is required to maintain
a minimum unencumbered balance of cash and permitted investments and a
minimum ratio of unencumbered cash and permitted investments to
indebtedness.
The second bank loan agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum
net worth, a maximum ratio of total liabilities to net worth, a minimum
current ratio and a minimum unencumbered balance of cash and permitted
investments. Upon the breach of any of these financial covenants or the
occurrence of any other event of default under the loan agreement, the
Company would be required to deposit an amount equal to the then
outstanding principal balance of the loan plus three months' interest into
a restricted account at the bank. Under the terms of the loan agreement,
the bank would have the right to liquidate such account and apply the
proceeds to repayment of the loan if the Company's unencumbered cash and
investment balance falls below $5,000,000.
In January 1995, the Company borrowed $3,500,000 from a corporate partner.
The principal amount of the loan, together with interest, is payable in the
Company's common stock or cash, at the Company's option.

6. INCOME TAXES
At March 31, 1997, the Company has approximately $53,522,000 of net
operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes
and approximately $3,802,000 of research and development tax credits
available to offset future federal income tax, subject to limitations for
alternative minimum tax. The NOL and research and development credit
carryforwards are subject to examination by the tax authorities and expire
in various years from 2002 through 2012.
The components of the net deferred income tax assets at March 31 are as
follows:

The valuation allowance has been provided because of the uncertainty of
realizing the future benefits of the net deferred income tax assets. In
fiscal 1996, the valuation allowance increased by $5,241,000.
The ACTI NOL carryforwards and ACTI research and development credit
carryforwards of approximately $4,780,000 and $790,000, respectively,
acquired from Enzytech, Inc. are only available to offset future taxable
income of ACTI.

7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On April 10, 1992, the Company and Clinical Partners, a limited partnership
of which ADC II is the general partner, sold in a private placement (i) 920
Class A units, each unit (a "Class A Unit") consisting of one Class A
limited partnership interest in Clinical Partners, a 1992 warrant (a "1992
Warrant") to purchase 2,800 shares of the Company's common stock and a 1995
warrant (a "1995 Warrant") to purchase 300 shares of the Company's common
stock; and (ii) one Class B unit (the "Class B Unit"), consisting of one
Class B limited partnership interest in Clinical Partners, a 1992 warrant
(the "Class B 1992 Warrant") to purchase 5,600 shares of the Company's
common stock and a 1995 warrant (the "Class B 1995 Warrant") to purchase
600 shares of the Company's common stock. The purchase price was $50,000
for each Class A Unit and $100,000 for the Class B Unit, the unpaid
portions of which were evidenced by investor notes which were payable in
annual installments through April 15, 1995.
In connection with the offering, the Company also issued, to an affiliate
of the sales agent for the Class A Units, warrants (the "Incentive
Warrants") to purchase 77,100 shares of the Company's common stock and
issued, to another affiliate of the sales agent, a warrant (the "Affiliate
Warrant") to purchase 13,300 shares of the Company's common stock.
The net proceeds of the offering were used primarily to fund the further
development and clinical testing of a family of molecules designated by the
Company as Receptor-Mediated Permeabilizers(TM) ("RMPs"(TM)) for human
pharmaceutical use in the United States and Canada. Proprietary RMP(TM)
molecules developed by the Company may enhance the passage of small drug
molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. Pursuant to the Product
Development Agreement entered into in March 1992, the Company licensed to
Clinical Partners certain of its technology relating to RMPs. Research and
development of RMPs is being conducted by the Company for Clinical Partners
pursuant to the Product Development Agreement. The Company was reimbursed
by Clinical Partners for its actual costs incurred in conducting such
research and development and also received a management fee of 10% of such
costs. Such funding ended during the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Such
funding was not sufficient to complete clinical trials and seek regulatory
approval of RMP-7. Since the completion of funding from Clinical Partners,
Alkermes has used its own resources to develop RMP-7, but may be forced to
seek alternative sources of funding, including additional collaborators.
The Company is required to fund the development of RMP-7 to maintain the
Purchase Option as defined below.
Clinical Partners has granted the Company an exclusive interim license to
manufacture and market RMPs for human pharmaceutical use in the United
States and Canada. Upon the first marketing approval of an RMP product by
the United States Food and Drug Administration, the Company is obligated to
make a payment to Clinical Partners equal to 20% of the aggregate capital
contributions (approximately $8,300,000) of all partners (the "milestone
payment"). Additionally, the Company will make royalty payments to Clinical
Partners equal to 12% of United States and Canadian revenues and 10% of
European revenues, in certain circumstances, from any sales of RMPs by the
Company. The interim license will terminate if the Company does not
exercise the Purchase Option.

<PAGE> 43
7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
The 1992 Warrants, the 1995 Warrants (collectively, the "Class A
Warrants"), the Class B 1992 Warrant and the Class B 1995 Warrant
(collectively, the "Class B Warrants") were issued by the Company in
consideration of the grant by each limited partner to the Company of an
option to purchase (the "Purchase Option"), under certain circumstances,
the limited partnership interest in Clinical Partners held by such limited
partner. Upon exercise of such purchase option, each Class A limited
partner will be entitled to receive an initial payment, at the Company's
option, of $40,000 in cash or approximately $42,100 in the Company's common
stock, as well as certain additional payments (which are subject to certain
limitations) based on the Company's net revenues from sales of RMPs in the
United States, Canada and Europe as follows:
- 12% of net revenues to the Company on sales of RMPs in the United
States and Canada and 10% of net revenues to the Company on sales of
RMPs in Europe, until each Class A limited partner has received an
aggregate of $400,000 per interest from the initial payment and the
royalty stream; thereafter,
- 9% of net revenues to the Company on sales of RMPs in the United
States, Canada and Europe, until each Class A limited partner has
received an aggregate of $500,000 per interest from the initial
payment and the royalty stream; and thereafter,
- 4% of net revenues to the Company on sales of RMPs in the United
States, Canada and Europe.
Royalties on sales of RMPs in Europe will be payable only to the extent
necessary to pay projected distributions in any year. If royalties on sales
of RMPs in the United States and Canada in any year equal or exceed the
projected distributions for such year, no royalties on European sales will
be paid in that year.
The 1992 Warrants and the Class B 1992 Warrant may be exercised during the
period beginning on August 1, 1994 and ending on July 31, 1999, and upon
the payment of a warrant exercise price per share of $20.03. The 1995
Warrants and the Class B 1995 Warrant may be exercised during the period
beginning on April 15, 1995 and ending on April 14, 2000, and upon the
payment of a warrant exercise price of $3.54.
The Company completed an exchange offer on January 27, 1995 with respect to
the warrants issued in 1992 in connection with the formation of Clinical
Partners. Pursuant to the exchange offer, Class A limited partners had the
option to exchange both their Class A 1992 Warrants and Class A 1995
Warrants for a new 1994 Class A Warrant to purchase, at $5.00 per share,
and during the period beginning on April 1, 1995 and ending on March 31,
2000, 1,700 shares of the Company's common stock for every 3,100 shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A 1992 Warrant and Class A
1995 Warrant exchanged therefor. The Class B limited partner had the option
to exchange both the Class B 1992 and Class B 1995 Warrants for a new 1994
Class B Warrant to purchase 3,400 shares of the Company's common stock at
$5.00 per share. The 1994 Class B Warrant is exercisable during the same
period as the 1994 Class A Warrants.

7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
Of the Class A 1992 Warrants and Class A 1995 Warrants originally issued,
approximately 92% were exchanged in response to the exchange offer. The
Class B 1992 Warrant and the Class B 1995 Warrant, the Affiliate Warrant
and the Incentive Warrants were also exchanged in the exchange offer for
new warrants entitling the holders thereof to purchase an aggregate of
3,400, 7,293 and 42,280 shares of common stock, respectively. The exchange
offer resulted in a decrease of 1,225,927 shares of common stock which are
issuable upon exercise of the Company's outstanding warrants.
In order to fund organizational and offering costs, the Company loaned
Clinical Partners, at the closing of the private placement, $4,735,000. The
loan was secured by a pledge of the investor notes, bore interest at 7.5%
per annum, payable annually in arrears, and was paid in April 1995.
In February and April 1996, the Company purchased from Clinical Partners an
aggregate of 74 Class A Units that were owned by investors who defaulted on
their payment obligations. The total purchase price for such Units was the
aggregate amount of unpaid installments, approximately $2,052,000. The
Company wrote down its investment in these Class A Units ratably over the
period February through June 1996 as Clinical Partners used these and other
funds to complete its obligation to the Company to fund research and
development of RMP-7.
8. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has entered into several collaborative agreements with
corporate partners ("partners") to provide research and development
activities relating to the partners' products. In connection with these
agreements, the Company has granted certain licenses or the right to obtain
certain licenses to technology developed by the Company. In return for such
grants, the Company will receive certain payments upon the achievement of
certain milestones and will receive royalties on sales of products
developed under the terms of the agreements. In addition to research and
development funding, during fiscal 1997 the Company received $900,000
representing three milestone payments under these agreements. Additionally,
the Company may obtain the right to manufacture and supply products
developed under certain of these agreements.
9. COMMITMENTS
LEASE COMMITMENTS - The Company leases certain of its offices and research
laboratories under operating leases with initial terms of one to ten years
expiring between 1998 and 2008. The leases contain provisions for
extensions for up to ten years. Total annual future minimum lease payments
are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
1998 $2,684,000
1999 2,016,000
2000 2,035,000
2001 1,497,000
2002 1,175,000
Thereafter 1,789,000
</TABLE>
Rent expense charged to operations was approximately $3,342,000, $2,439,000
and $2,589,000 for the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

<PAGE> 45
9. COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)
LEASE COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED) - Additionally, a U.S. Treasury Bill with a
total principal amount of $257,000 is being held by a bank in the Company's
name as a security deposit on the leases and, accordingly, has been
classified as a long-term investment at March 31, 1997.
LICENSE AND ROYALTY COMMITMENTS - The Company has entered into license
agreements with certain corporations and universities which require the
Company to pay annual license fees and royalties based on a percentage of
revenues from sales of certain products and royalties from sublicenses
granted by the Company. Amounts paid under these agreements were
approximately $92,000, $127,000 and $117,000 for the years ended March 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
10. STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS
During fiscal 1996, the Company adopted the Stock Option Plan for
Non-Employee Directors (the "Director Plan"), which provides for the
granting of stock options to non-employee directors of the Company. The
Company's Amended and Restated 1989 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the
"1989 Plan"), Amended and Restated 1990 Omnibus Stock Option Plan, as
amended (the "1990 Plan"), and 1992 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the
"1992 Plan") provide for the granting of stock options to employees,
officers and directors of, and consultants to, the Company. Nonqualified
options to purchase up to 225,000 shares of the Company's common stock may
be granted under the 1989 Plan, nonqualified and incentive options to
purchase up to 1,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be
granted under the 1990 Plan, nonqualified options to purchase up to
1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock may be granted under the
1992 Plan and nonqualified options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of the
Company's common stock may be granted under the Director Plan. Unless
sooner terminated, the 1989 Plan will terminate on July 18, 1999, the 1990
Plan will terminate on September 19, 2000, the 1992 Plan will terminate on
November 11, 2002 and the Director Plan will terminate on March 18, 2006.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the 1989
Plan, the 1990 Plan and the 1992 Plan and determines who is to receive
options and the exercise price and terms of such options. The Board of
Directors administers the Director Plan. The option exercise price of stock
options granted under the 1989 Plan, the 1990 Plan and the Director Plan
may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on
the date of grant. Under the terms of the 1992 Plan, the option exercise
price may be below the fair market value, but not below par value, of the
underlying stock at the time the option is granted.
The 1989 Plan, the 1990 Plan and the 1992 Plan also provide that the
Compensation Committee may grant Limited Stock Appreciation Rights
("LSARs") with respect to all or any portion of the shares covered by stock
options granted to directors and executive officers. LSARs may be granted
with the grant of a nonqualified stock option or at any time during the
term of such option but may only be granted with the grant of an incentive
stock option. The grant of LSARs will not be effective until six months
after their date of grant. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering
events, the options with respect to which LSARs have been granted shall
become immediately exercisable and the persons who have received LSARs will
automatically receive a cash payment in lieu of shares. Through March 31,
1997, LSARs have been granted under the 1990 Plan with respect to options
to purchase 425,750 shares.
45
<PAGE> 46
10. STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS (CONTINUED)
The Company has also adopted the 1991 Restricted Common Stock Award Plan
(the "Award Plan"). The Award Plan provides for the award to certain
eligible employees, officers and directors of, and consultants to, the
Company of up to a maximum of 250,000 shares of common stock. The Award
Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. Awards generally vest
over five years. Through March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, an aggregate of
77,000, 77,000 and 77,000 shares of common stock , respectively, have been
awarded under the Award Plan, of which 2,400, 13,200 and 7,900 shares
ceased to be subject to forfeiture and were issued during the years ended
March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In addition, zero, 5,000 and
6,900 shares were canceled during the years ended March 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The Award Plan will terminate on November 15, 2001,
unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors.
The Company has reserved a total of 2,376,852 shares of common stock for
issuance under the five plans.
The Company has elected to continue to follow APB No. 25 for accounting for
its employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is
recognized with respect to the grant of any stock options in which the
exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the fair
market price of the underlying stock on the date the option is granted.
Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share in fiscal
1997 and 1996 has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS No.
123. The resulting effect on pro forma net loss and net loss per share
disclosed below for fiscal 1997 and 1996 is not likely to be representative
of the effects on net loss and net loss per share on a pro forma basis in
future years, because fiscal 1996 and 1997 pro forma results include the
impact of only one and two years, respectively, of grants and related
vesting. The fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted
average assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 6.60% - 6.84%
for fiscal 1997 and 5.96% - 6.17% for fiscal 1996; dividend yields of 0% in
fiscal 1997 and 1996; volatility factors of the expected market price of
the Company's common stock of 67% in fiscal 1997 and 65% in fiscal 1996;
and a weighted average expected life of 2.5 years in fiscal 1997 and 1996.
Using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, the weighted average fair
value of options granted in fiscal 1997 and 1996 was $8.00 and $2.96,
respectively.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of options
is amortized to pro forma expense over the vesting period of the option.
Pro forma information for the years ended March 31 is as follows:
<TABLE>

During fiscal 1995, a significant number of outstanding options were
canceled in exchange for the grant of fewer options with an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant of
$3.69 per share. These options vest over three years. Other options granted
generally vest over four years, except options granted under the Director
Plan which vest after six months.

10. STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS (CONTINUED)
For certain stock options granted and awards made, the Company recognizes,
as compensation expense, the excess of the intrinsic value for accounting
purposes of the common stock issuable upon exercise of such stock options
over the aggregate exercise price thereof and, in connection with stock
awards, the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of
the award. This compensation expense is amortized ratably over the vesting
period of each stock option and stock award. For the years ended March 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995, compensation expense of $173,094, $179,367 and
$331,121, respectively, was recorded and will aggregate a maximum of
$109,901 over the remaining terms of such stock options granted and stock
awards made.

UNDERTAKING
For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules
governing Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1933,
the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall
be incorporated by reference into Registrant's Registration Statements on Form
S-8, Nos. 33-44752, 33-58330, 33-97468, and 333-13283.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

6. TYPE OF OPTIONS
This Plan permits the grant of Non-Qualified Stock Options, as well as
Incentive Stock Options. Options granted under the Plan will be designated as

grant.
7. OPTION TERMS
Subject to the limitation prescribed in Section 5 above, the options
granted under this Plan shall be on the terms stated in clauses (a) through (h)
below. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may specify additional
terms not inconsistent with this Plan by rules of general application or by
specific direction in connection with a particular option or group of options.
(a) The option exercise price shall be fixed by the Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, but shall not be less than 100% (110% in the case
of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder) of the Fair
Market Value of the underlying Shares on the Date of Grant.
(b) The option exercise price shall be payable in cash, property,
services rendered or, under certain circumstances, in shares of Common Stock of
the Company having a Fair Market Value equal to the option exercise price on the
date of exercise, or any combination thereof, or any other means which the Board
or the Committee, as the case may be, determines are consistent with the Plan's
purpose and applicable laws.
(c) The option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the Optionee's
lifetime only by the Optionee or after his death by the person or persons
entitled thereto by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
(d) The term of the option shall be fixed by the Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, but no option shall be granted for a term to
exceed ten years or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option being granted to a
Ten Percent Shareholder, for a term to exceed five years.
(e) The option shall terminate and may not be exercised if the
Optionee ceases for any reason (including death, retirement or disability) to be
an employee of the Qualified Employer, except to the extent provided in Section
9 hereof.
(f) In the event that the Company is succeeded by another company in a
reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock,
separation or liquidation, the successor company shall assume the outstanding
options granted under this Plan or shall substitute new options for them, which
shall provide that the Optionee, at the same cost, shall be entitled upon the
exercise of such option to receive such securities of the surviving or resulting
corporation as the Board of Directors of such corporation shall determine to be
equivalent, as nearly as practicable, to the nearest whole number and class of
shares of stock or other securities to which the Optionee would have been
entitled under the terms of the agreement governing the reorganization, merger,
consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation or liquidation as
if, immediately prior to such event, the Optionee had been the holder of record
of the number of Shares which were then subject to such option.
4
<PAGE> 5
(g) The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Date of
Grant) of the Shares for which Incentive Stock Options are granted under the ISO
Plans to any one Eligible Person that are exercisable for the first time during
any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
(h) The terms and conditions of the grant of each option granted
hereunder shall be embodied in a written award certificate in a form prescribed
by the Board or by the Committee, as the case may be, which (i) has been
completed with the date, name of Optionee, number of Shares to which it relates,
type of option, term of option, option price per Share, name of Optionee's
employing company and (with respect to Incentive Stock Options) the conditions
required to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code,
(ii) has been signed by a member of the Board or the Committee or an officer of
the Company designated by the Board or by the Committee, as the case may be, and
(iii) has been delivered to the Optionee.
8. LIMITED STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
(a) The Committee is authorized, in its discretion, to grant limited
stock appreciation rights ("LSARs") with respect to all or any portion of the
Shares covered by stock options granted hereunder to Officers and directors of
the Company, simultaneously with the grant of, or at any time during the term
of, non-qualified options or simultaneously with the grant of incentive stock
options. The grant of the LSAR will not be effective until six months after the
date of its grant. Those options with respect to which an LSAR has been granted
and become effective shall become immediately exercisable upon the occurrence of
any of the following events (each, a "Triggering Event"): (i) the consummation
by the Company of a reorganization, merger, or consolidation after approval of
any such transaction by shareholders, other than Section 16 Eligible Persons,
holding at least the minimum number of shares necessary to approve such
transaction under the Company's Articles of Incorporation and applicable law,
(ii) the consummation by the Company of a sale of substantially all its assets
after approval of any such transaction by shareholders, other than Section 16
Eligible Persons, holding at least the minimum number of shares necessary to
approve such transaction under the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
applicable law, or (iii) the acquisition by a single purchaser or group of
related purchasers of in excess of 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock from shareholders of the Company other than Section 16 Eligible
Persons, in any case other than in a transaction in which the surviving
corporation or the purchaser is the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company
(other than a transaction in which the surviving corporation or the purchaser is
the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company but the capital stock of the Company
or a Subsidiary of the Company is converted into capital stock of any entity
other than the Company or any such Subsidiary) or an entity controlled by
Section 16 Eligible Persons.
(b) The LSARs shall provide that upon the occurrence of any Triggering
Event, the Optionee shall receive from the Company, for each LSAR, an amount in
cash equal to the amount by which the option exercise price per Share of the
option to which the LSAR relates is exceeded by the Fair Market Value of the
Shares issuable upon exercise of such option on the date such Triggering Event
occurs. When a Triggering Event occurs, the option to which the LSAR relates
will cease to be exercisable, but will be deemed to have been exercised for
purposes of determining the number of Shares for which options may be granted
hereunder.
(c) An LSAR shall be expressly subject to the following additional
requirements: (i) the LSAR shall expire no later than the expiration of the
underlying option; (ii) the LSAR shall be
5
<PAGE> 6
transferable only when the underlying option is transferable, and under the same
conditions; and (iii) a Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred only
when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying option
exceeds the exercise price of such option.
9. EXERCISE RIGHTS UPON CEASING TO BE AN EMPLOYEE, OFFICER, CONSULTANT OR
DIRECTOR
(a) If an Optionee becomes permanently and totally disabled, he may
exercise his option for up to one year after the date he ceases to be an
employee, officer or director of or a consultant to a Qualified Employer on
account of such disability, but in no event later than the date on which the
option would have expired if the Optionee had not become disabled. During such
period, the option may be exercised only to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to do so at the date of disability and, to the extent the option is not
so exercised, it shall expire at the end of such period. For purposes of this
Section 9(a), an Optionee shall be deemed to be disabled if, in the
determination of the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, he is unable to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in
death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of
not less than 12 months.
(b) If an Optionee dies during a period in which he is entitled to
exercise an option (including the period referred to in subsection (a) above),
the option shall terminate one year after the date of death, but in no event
later than the date on which the option would have expired if the Optionee had
lived. During such period, the option may be exercised by the Optionee's
executor or administrator or by any person or persons who shall have acquired
the option directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance or by reason of
the death of the Optionee, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled
to do so at the date of death and, to the extent the option is not so exercised,
it shall expire at the end of such period.
(c) If an Optionee ceases to be an employee, officer or director of or
consultant to any and all Qualified Employers in circumstances other than those
described in subsections (a) or (b) above, he may exercise options granted
hereunder for a period not to exceed three months after the date of such
cessation, but in no event later than the date on which the option would have
expired if the Optionee had remained an employee, officer or director of or
consultant to a Qualified Employer. During such period, the option may be
exercised only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to do so on the date
of cessation and, to the extent the option is not so exercised, it shall expire
at the end of such three-month period. This provision shall not apply if the
Optionee's employment or consultant relationship was terminated for "cause," or
if the officer or director was removed for "cause," which shall include theft,
falsification of records, fraud, embezzlement, gross negligence or willful
misconduct, causing a Qualified Employer to violate any federal, state, or local
law, or administrative regulation or ruling having the force and effect of law,
insubordination, conflict of interest, diversion of corporate opportunity, or
conduct that results in publicity that reflects unfavorably on a Qualified
Employer.
(d) For purposes of this section an Optionee who is an employee shall
not be treated as having ceased employment if (1) the Optionee is on military,
sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary employment by
the United States Government); and (2) the period of such leave does not exceed
90 days, or, if longer, so long as the Optionee's right to reemployment with a
Qualified Employer is guaranteed by statute or by contract. Where the period of
leave exceeds 90 days and the Optionee's right to reemployment is not guaranteed
by statute or by contract, such Optionee shall be deemed to have ceased being an
employee on the 91st day of such leave.
6
<PAGE> 7
10. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Upon the exercise of an option granted hereunder the Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, may require the Optionee to deliver the
following:
(a) A written statement satisfactory to the Company or its counsel
that the Optionee is purchasing the Shares for investment and not with a view
toward their distribution or sale and will not sell or transfer any Shares
received upon the exercise of the option except in accordance with the
Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws; and
(b) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that at the time
of exercise the Optionee meets such other requirements as the Board or the
Committee, as the case may be, may determine.
11. SHARES SUBJECT TO OPTION
The Shares issuable upon exercise of options granted hereunder may be
unissued shares or treasury shares, including shares bought on the open market.
The Company at all times during the term of this Plan shall reserve for issuance
the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of options granted hereunder.
12. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATIONS
The Company will not be obligated to issue and sell the Shares issued
pursuant to options granted hereunder if, in the opinion of its counsel, such
issuance and sale would violate any applicable federal or state securities laws.
The Company will seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having
jurisdiction such authority as may be required to issue and sell Shares issuable
upon exercise of any option granted hereunder. Inability of the Company to
obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency authority which counsel for
the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Shares upon
exercise of an option granted hereunder shall relieve the Company from any
liability for failure to issue and sell such Shares until the time when such
authority is obtained or is obtainable.
13. NONASSIGNMENT OF OPTIONS
Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 7(c) hereof, any option
granted hereunder and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation
of law otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, or similar
process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise
dispose of such option, right or privilege contrary to the provisions hereof, or
upon the levy or any attachment or similar process upon the rights and
privileges conferred hereby, such option and the rights and privileges conferred
hereby shall immediately terminate.
7
<PAGE> 8
14. RIGHTS OF OPTIONEE IN SHARES
Neither any Optionee nor the legal representatives, heirs, legatees,
or distributees of any Optionee, shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have
any rights of a holder with respect to, any Shares issuable upon exercise of an
option granted hereunder unless and until such Shares are issued to him or them.
15. DELIVERY OF SHARES ISSUED PURSUANT TO OPTION
Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Plan, upon the
exercise of an option granted hereunder, the Company shall sell to the Optionee
the Shares with respect to which the option has been exercised.
16. WITHHOLDING OF APPLICABLE TAXES
A Qualified Employer shall have the right to reduce the number of
Shares otherwise required to be issued upon exercise of an option granted
hereunder by an amount which would have a Fair Market Value on the date of such
exercise equal to all Federal, state, city, or other taxes as shall be required
to be withheld by the Qualified Employer pursuant to any statute or other
governmental regulation or ruling. In connection with all such withholding
obligations (whether arising in connection with an exercise of an option granted
hereunder or in connection with a disqualifying disposition (as defined in
Section 421(b) of the Code) of stock obtained upon exercise of an Incentive
Stock Option granted hereunder), a Qualified Employer may make any other
arrangements consistent with this Plan as it may deem appropriate, including but
not limited to withholding such taxes from cash compensation payable to the
Optionee and requiring the Optionee to remit cash in an amount equal to the
taxes required to be withheld.
17. PLAN AND OPTIONS NOT TO AFFECT EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER AFFILIATION
Neither this Plan nor any options granted hereunder shall confer upon
any Eligible Person any right to continue employment or affiliation with any
Qualified Employer.
18. AMENDMENT OF PLAN
The Board may make such amendments to this Plan as it deems necessary
or advisable, provided that, without further action by the shareholders of the
Company, no such amendment shall (a) materially increase the maximum number of
Shares for which options may be granted, except as provided in Section 3, (b)
materially increase the benefits under the Plan, or (c) materially modify the
requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, and in no event
shall any such amendment impair the rights of any participant under any option
theretofore granted.
19. NOTICES
Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be sufficiently given
only if sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the
Company, 26 Landsdowne Street, Cambridge, MA 02139 and to the Optionee at the
address on file with the Company at the time of grant
8
<PAGE> 9
hereunder, or to such other address as either party may hereafter designate in
writing by notice similarly given by one party to the other.
20. SUCCESSORS
The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successor, successors or assigns of the Company.
21. SEVERABILITY
If any part of this Plan shall be determined to be invalid or void in
any respect, such determination shall not affect, impair, invalidate, or nullify
the remaining provisions of this Plan which shall continue in full force and
effect.
22. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
The Board may terminate this Plan at any time; otherwise this Plan
shall terminate September 19, 2000. Termination of the Plan shall not deprive
Optionees of their rights under previously granted options.
23. GRANTS OF OPTIONS AFTER AMENDMENTS TO PLAN
The grant of any option hereunder on or after the date the Board has
adopted any amendments to the Plan that require shareholder approval pursuant to
Section 18 hereof, is subject to the express condition that within 12 months
after such date, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock present, or represented, and entitled to vote thereon shall have approved
the Plan at a duly held meeting of the shareholders of the Company.

LEASE
Dated: July 26, 1993
1. PARTIES AND PREMISES. MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ("Lessor")
hereby LEASES unto ALKERMES, INC. ("Lessee"), the following premises:
25,500 square feet of rentable area on the first floor (shown as the
hatched area on EXHIBIT A attached hereto) (the "Premises"), of the
building known as and numbered 281 Albany Street, Cambridge,
Massachusetts (the "Building"), which Building contains 32,000
rentable square feet and is located on the parcel of land (the "Land")
identified as Assessors Plan #67, Lots 32 and 33 as shown on the plan
attached hereto as EXHIBIT B attached hereto,
together with the benefit of, and subject to (as the case may be) all
rights, easements, covenants, conditions, encumbrances, encroachments and
restrictions of record as of the date of this Lease. Lessor shall have the
right, without the necessity of obtaining Lessee's consent thereto or
joinder therein, to grant, permit, or enter into during the term of this
Lease such additional rights, easements, covenants, conditions,
encumbrances, encroachments and restrictions with respect to the Land as
Lessor may deem appropriate, PROVIDED THAT no such rights, easements,
covenants, conditions, encumbrances, encroachments or restrictions shall
materially affect Lessee's use of the Premises for the Permitted Uses
hereunder.
Lessor hereby grants to Lessee, as appurtenant to the Premises, the right
in common with Lessor and others to whom Lessor may have previously or may
hereafter grant rights, to enter into the basement of the Building for the
purpose of (i) installing an acid neutralization tank as part of "Lessee's
Work" (as defined in the Work Letter) and maintaining, repairing, replacing
and removing the same, and (ii) installing as part of Lessee's Work
additional equipment intended to service the Premises and maintaining,
repairing, replacing and removing the same, PROVIDED that such rights shall
be exercised so as not to interfere with any Building system serving the
second floor of the Building (whether solely or together with the first
floor thereof).
2. EXPANSION. Subject to the provisions of this Section, Lessee shall have the
option (the "Expansion Option") to subject the second floor of the
Building, containing
<PAGE> 5
approximately 6,500 rentable square feet (the "Expansion Premises"), to all
of the terms of this Lease (except for Basic Rent, which shall be
calculated in the manner provided below).
Lessee acknowledges that the Expansion Premises are currently occupied by
another lessee ("Current Occupant") whose lease expires on or about
December 31, 1994. Provided that both (i) an "Event of Default" (as
hereinafter defined) has not occurred and is not then continuing as of the
day on which Lessee purports to exercise the option herein granted, and
(ii) as of such date the Lessee named herein is actually occupying at least
twenty-five (25%) percent of the Premises, Lessee shall have the right to
lease the Expansion Premises for a term commencing on the date on which
Lessor delivers possession thereof to Lessee, and ending on the last day of
the "Lease Term" (as hereinafter defined), by giving written notice of
exercise to Lessor not later than July 1, 1994.
If Lessee exercises its right under this Section to lease the Expansion
Premises, then such space shall become subject to all of the terms of this
Lease EXCEPT that "Basic Rent" for such space shall be in an amount equal
to the "Fair Market Value" thereof (as these terms are hereinafter
defined). In the event that Lessee, for any reason whatsoever, fails or
refuses to give such notice by July 1, 1994, Lessee shall be deemed to have
waived its rights under this Section with respect to the Expansion Premises
for the remainder of the Lease Term.
If Lessee exercises the Expansion Option, then Lessor shall deliver the
Expansion Premises vacant and broom clean but otherwise in its "as is"
condition. Lessor shall use due diligence to deliver the Expansion Premises
to Lessee as soon as practicable, Effective upon the date on which Lessor
delivers to Lessee possession of the Expansion Premises, such space shall
be deemed to be part of the Premises for all purposes of this Lease, Lessee
shall commence paying Basic Rent and "Additional Rent" on account thereof,
and "Lessee's Share" (as these terms are hereinafter defined) shall be
appropriately modified.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.0, in the event
that Lessor learns that the Expansion Premises will become vacant prior to
January 1, 1995, Lessor shall so notify Lessee. Provided that both (i) an
"Event of Default" (as hereinafter defined) has not occurred and is not
then continuing as of the day on which Lessee purports to exercise the
right herein granted, and (ii) as of such date the Lessee named herein is
actually occupying at least
2
<PAGE> 6
twenty-five (25%) percent of the Premises, Lessee shall have the right to
accelerate the exercise of the Expansion Option by giving written notice of
exercise to Lessor within twenty (20) days of receipt of Lessor's notice.
If Lessee exercises its right to accelerate the Expansion Option, then such
space shall become subject to all of the terms of this Lease as provided
hereinabove in this Section as of the date on which Lessor delivers
possession thereof to Lessee. If Lessee declines to accelerate the exercise
of the Expansion Option, then Lessee shall be deemed to have waived all
rights to exercise the Expansion Option at any time under this Section 2.0.
3. Lease Term; Commencement Date; Extension Options.
------------------------------------------------
3.1 LEASE TERM; COMMENCEMENT DATE. The initial term of this Lease (the
"Initial Lease Term") shall commence on the date (the "Commencement
Date") which is the first to occur of (i) the first day on which
Lessee occupies any portion of the Premises for the conduct of its
business operations, or (ii) August 15, 1993, and shall expire, unless
sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, on the day immediately
preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date. As
used in this Lease, "Lease Term" means the Initial Lease Term, as the
same may be extended pursuant to Section 3.2 below. On request of
either party, Lessor and Lessee shall execute and deliver a
Commencement Date Agreement in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT D
setting forth the Commencement Date.
3.2 EXTENSION OPTION. Provided that both (i) an "Event of Default" (as
hereinafter defined) has not occurred and is not then continuing as of
either the day on which Lessee purports to give Lessor a "Lessee's
Notice of Exercise" (as hereinafter defined) or on the first day of
the "Extension Term" (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) the Lessee
named herein is actually occupying at least twenty-five (25%) percent
of the Premises as of each of said dates, Lessee shall have one (1)
option ("Extension Option"), to extend the Lease Term of this Lease
for a period of five (5) years ("Extension Term"), unless sooner
terminated as hereinafter provided, subject to all the terms of this
Lease except for the change in Basic Rent as provided in Section 4.2
of this Lease.
Lessee shall exercise the Extension Option, if at all, by giving
written notice of Lessee's exercise thereof ("Lessee's Notice of
Exercise") to Lessor not earlier than fifteen (18) months prior to,
nor later than nine
3
<PAGE> 7
(9) months prior to, the last day of the Initial Lease Term as the
case may be. If Lessee fails to give such Lessee's Notice of Exercise
within such time, Lessee shall be deemed to have waived the right to
exercise the Extension Option. The dates described in this paragraph
are summarized in the following table:
Notification Dates Extension Term
Not Before: Not After: Begins: Ends:
----------- ---------- ------- -----
5/15/1997 11/14/1997 8/15/1998 8/14/2003
Basic Rent shall be due and payable in the manner hereinafter provided
in Section 4.1 below.
4. Rent; Determination of Fair Market Rent; Preliminary Entry; Net Lease
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 PAYMENT OF RENT. From and after the Commencement Date, Lessee shall
pay Lessor, without offset or deduction and without previous demand
therefor, as items constituting rent (collectively, "Rent"):
(a) Basic rent ("Basic Rent") at the following rates:
(i) for each of the first five (5) Lease Years, $4.00 per
rentable square foot of the Premises ($102,000.00 per year;
$8,500.00 per month); and
(ii) for each Lease Year in the Extension Term, $6.00 per
rentable square foot of the Premises $153,000.00 per year;
$12,750.00 per month).
Basic Rent as set forth above does not include, and is in
addition to, any Basic Rent which may become due and payable with
respect to the Expansion Premises, calculated in the manner
provided in Section 4.2 below. Basic Rent shall be due and
payable in equal monthly installments, in advance, commencing on
the Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter on the first day
of each calendar month or portion thereof during the Lease Term.
Basic Rent shall be PRO-RATED for partial months occurring at the
beginning or the end of the Lease Term; and
(b) All other costs, charges, or expenses which Lessee in this Lease
agrees to pay, or which Lessor pays or incurs as the result of a
default by Lessee
4
<PAGE> 8
hereunder, including any penalty or interest which may be added
for nonpayment or late payment thereof as provided in this Lease
(collectively, "Additional Rent").
As used in this Lease, "Lease Year" means the twelve (12) month period
commencing on the Commencement Date, and each successive twelve (12)
month period included in the Lease Term commencing on an anniversary
of that day, but if the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier
termination of the Lease does not coincide with the termination of
such a twelve (12) month period, the term "Lease Year" shall mean the
portion of such twelve (12) month period before such expiration or
termination.
All payments shall be made to Lessor or such agent, and at such place,
as Lessor shall, from time to time, in writing designate, the
following being now so designated:
Meredith & Grew, Inc.
160 Federal Street
Boston, MA 02110-1701
Attention: Kristin Blount
4.2 DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET RENT. As used in this Lease, "Fair Market
Rent" means the fair market rent for the portion of the Building with
respect to which "Fair Market Rent" is being determined in its "as is"
condition, excluding the value of the improvements completed by Lessee
therein but including the value of improvements made by Lessor, as of
the day with respect to which such determination is being made. Fair
Market Rent shall be based upon the rents generally in effect for
similar premises for first-class research and development/
manufacturing/ office uses in similar buildings in the Cambridge,
Massachusetts area in which the Premises is located, adjusted to a
"net" lease basis, taking into account all facts and circumstances
customarily taken into account by prudent and commercially reasonable
lessors and lessees (including, without limitation, concessions
typically offered in such market to renewing tenants).
Within twenty (20) days after Lessor receives Lessee's notice of
exercise of the Expansion Option), Lessor shall provide to Lessee
Lessor's good faith determination of the Fair Market Rent of the
Expansion Premises. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree on such
Fair Market Rent within twenty (20) days
5
<PAGE> 9
thereafter, then Lessor and Lessee shall, not later than sixty (60)
days after Lessor receives Lessee's notice, each retain a real estate
appraiser with at least ten (10) years' continuous experience in the
business of appraising or marketing commercial real estate in the
Cambridge, Massachusetts vicinity, who shall, within thirty (30) days
of his or her selection, prepare a written report summarizing his or
her conclusion as to Fair Market Rent. Lessor and Lessee shall
simultaneously exchange such reports; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if one
party has not obtained such a report within one hundred (100) days
after Lessor receives Lessee's notice of exercise, then the
determination set forth in the other party's report shall be final and
binding upon the parties. If both parties receive reports within such
time and the lesser of the two determinations is within ten (10%)
percent of the higher determination, then the average of these
determinations shall be deemed to be Fair Market Rent. If these
determinations differ by more than ten (10%) percent, then Lessor and
Lessee shall mutually select a person with the qualifications stated
above (the "Final Appraiser") to resolve the dispute as to Fair Market
Rent. If Lessor and Lessee cannot agree upon the designation of the
Final Appraiser within thirty (30) days of the exchange of the first
appraisal reports, either party may apply to the American Arbitration
Association, the Greater Boston Real Estate Board, or any successor
thereto for the designation of a Final Appraiser. Within ten (10) days
of the selection of the Final Appraiser, Lessor and Lessee shall each
submit to the Final Appraiser a copy of their respective appraiser's
determination of Fair Market Rent. The Final Appraiser shall not
perform his own appraisal but rather shall, within thirty (30) days
after such submissions, select the submission which is closest to the
determination of Fair Market Rent which the Final Appraiser would have
made acting alone. The Final Appraiser shall give notice of his
selection to Lessor and Lessee and such decision shall be final and
binding upon Lessor and Lessee. Each party shall pay the fees and
expenses of its appraiser and counsel, if any, in connection with any
proceeding under this paragraph, and the parties shall each pay
one-half of the fees and expenses of the Final Appraiser.
In the event that Fair Market Rent has not been finally determined in
the manner provided above with respect to the Expansion Premises as of
the day on which Basic Rent commences to be due and payable on account
of such space, then Basic Rent shall be due and payable at the
6
<PAGE> 10
rate provided by the Lessor, and Lessor and Lessee shall make such
adjustment (and payment or credit as necessary) within thirty (30)
days after Fair Market Rent is finally determined.
4.3 PRELIMINARY ENTRY. Provided that an "Event of Default" (as hereinafter
defined) has not occurred hereunder, Lessee shall have the right to
enter upon the Premises prior to the Commencement Date to perform
"Lessee's Work" (as defined in the Work Letter). Such entry shall be
subject to the full and punctual performance by Lessee of all of
Lessee's covenants hereunder with respect to the Premises from and
after the date upon which Lessee first makes such entry except that
Lessee shall not be required to pay any Rent. If during this time
Lessee takes occupancy of any portion of the Premises and conducts it
business operations therein, then the first date of such occupancy
shall be deemed to be the Commencement Date as provided in Section 3.2
above. The period of such preliminary entry for the purposes of
performing Lessee's Work shall in all events end no later than the
Commencement Date.
4.4 NET LEASE. It is the intention of the Lessor and the Lessee that this
is a "net" lease and that the Rent herein specified shall be paid to
the Lessor in each month during the Lease Term, and that all costs,
expenses, and obligations of every kind relating to the Premises
whether usual or unusual, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen, which may arise or become due during the Lease Term, shall
be paid by Lessee except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
5. PERMITTED USE. The Premises shall be occupied by Lessee and used for the
following purposes (the "Permitted Uses") only and for no other:
office, research and development, laboratory, manufacturing and
distribution office uses, and ancillary uses thereto; in each case to
the extent permitted as a matter of right under the Zoning Ordinance
of the City of Cambridge, as amended from time to time.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, provided that
Lessee is not in default hereunder beyond the cure period provided in this
Lease, Lessee may discontinue its occupancy of the Premises or any part
thereof for any period of time during the Lease Term, provided that during
any such period, Lessee shall be bound by all of the
7
<PAGE> 11
obligations of Lessee under this Lease, including without limitation, the
obligation to pay Rent. If Lessee discontinues actual occupancy of the
entire portion of the Premises not then subleased pursuant to this Lease
(if any), and such discontinuance lasts for more than six (6) consecutive
months, Lessor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate
this Lease as to the entire portion of the Premises not so subleased (if
any) upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Lessee and payment to Lessee
of the "Termination Payment" (as defined in the next sentence), in which
event the Lease shall terminate as to that portion of the Premises as if
the date specified in such termination notice was the last day of the Lease
Term. As used in this Lease, the term "Termination Payment" shall mean the
unamortized portion (based on straight-line amortization over a 5-year
period commencing on the Commencement Date) of the cost of "Lessee's Work"
as of the effective date of such termination notice. Upon request by Lessor
during any period that Lessee has ceased to occupy the Premises as
aforesaid, Lessee shall provide to Lessor a reasonably detailed breakdown
of the cost of Lessee's Work paid or incurred by Lessee to enable Lessor to
calculate the amount of the Termination Payment.
6. Taxes.
-----
6.1 TAXES. As used in this Lease, "Taxes" means all taxes, special or
general assessments, water rents, rates and charges, sewer rents and
other impositions and charges imposed by governmental authorities of
every kind and nature whatsoever, extraordinary as well as ordinary
and each and every installment thereof which shall or may during the
Lease Term be charged, levied, laid, assessed, imposed, become due and
payable or become liens upon or for or with respect to the Premises,
the Building, the Land or any part thereof, or appurtenances or
equipment owned by Lessor thereon or therein or any part thereof or on
this Lease, and any tax based on a percentage fraction or capitalized
value of the Rent (whether in lieu of or in addition to the taxes
hereinbefore described). Taxes shall not include inheritance, estate,
excise, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, income, gross receipt,
or profit taxes except to the extent such are in lieu of or in
substitution for Taxes as now imposed on the Building or the Land.
6.2 PAYMENT OF TAXES. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as Additional Rent, (i)
"Lessee's Share" (which term shall mean shall be seventy-nine and
sixty-eight hundredths percent (79.68%)) of Taxes, and (ii) Lessee's
pro-rata
8
<PAGE> 12
share of Taxes with respect to each of the "Off-Site Lots" (as defined
in Section 10 below) in which any of the parking spaces leased
hereunder by Lessee are located. Lessee shall make such payment in the
manner provided in Section 7 below. Lessee's obligations under this
Section 6 shall be pro-rated for partial tax years at the beginning or
end of the Lease Term.
6.3 ABATEMENT OF TAXES. Lessor may at any time and from time to time make
application to the appropriate governmental authority for an abatement
of Taxes with respect to the Land and/or the Building. If Lessor files
such an abatement application, Lessor shall pursue the same at its
sole cost and expense (subject to potential reimbursement as provided
below in this Section). If Lessor's application is successful and
Lessee has made any payment in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section
6.2 above for the period with respect to which the abatement was
granted, Lessor shall (a) deduct from the amount of the abatement all
expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with the application,
(b) pay to Lessee Lessee's Share (adjusted for any period for which
Lessee had made a partial payment) of the abatement, with interest, if
any, paid by the governmental authority on such abatement, and (c)
retain the balance, if any.
Lessee shall have the right to file an application for abatement of
Taxes with respect to the Land and/or the Building only if (i) Lessee
first inquires in writing to Lessor whether Lessor intends to file
such an abatement application, and either (ii) (a) Lessor responds in
writing that Lessor does not intend to file such an application or,
(b) Lessee does not receive a response from Lessor within seven (7)
business days after the day such request is made. If Lessee files such
an abatement application, Lessee shall pursue the same at its sole
cost and expense (subject to potential reimbursement as provided below
in this Section) and shall keep Lessor informed of the status thereof.
If Lessee's application is successful, Lessee shall (a) deduct from
the amount of the abatement all expenses reasonably incurred by it in
connection with the application, (b) retain Lessee's Share (adjusted
for any period for which Lessee had made a partial payment) of the
abatement, with interest, if any, paid by the governmental authority
on such abatement, and (c) pay over the balance, if any, to Lessor.
7. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Lessee shall make its own arrangements for the
provision of all utilities and
9
<PAGE> 13
services, including, without limitation, electricity, gas, heating fuels,
trash removal, telephone service, and all maintenance and service
agreements which are required for the Permitted Uses of the Premises, and
shall pay when due all charges therefor directly to the company which
provides such utility or service.
The only services which Lessor shall provide to the Premises, the Building
or the Land during the Lease Term (collectively, "Lessor's Services") shall
be: (i) common area maintenance, (ii) extermination, (iii) alarm services,
(iv) water and sewer, (v) snowplowing, paving, striping and general
maintenance of the parking lots in which are located parking spaces leased
by Lessee pursuant to Section 10.0 below, and (vi) such other services (if
any) as Lessor may reasonably determine from time to time are necessary for
the maintenance and operation of the Premises and which either are not
provided by Lessee or cannot as a matter of law be provided to the Premises
in the name of Lessee. It is agreed that property manager's fees shall not
exceed seven (7%) percent of gross rental revenue of the Building. It is
further agreed that the work performed (and the costs incurred) by Lessor
in initially placing in serviceable condition the parking lot(s) in which
the parking spaces are leased by Lessee pursuant to Section 10.0 below
shall not be included in "Lessor's Services" or charged to Lessee.
Within a reasonable time after the execution of this Lease, and thereafter
within a reasonable time after the end of each of Lessor's fiscal years (or
portion thereof) occurring during the Lease Term, Lessor shall deliver to
Lessee (i) a statement of (a) the cost of Lessor's Services and (b) Taxes
for the fiscal year just ended (the "Statement"), and (ii) a projection of
(a) the cost of Lessor's Services and (b) Taxes for the then-current fiscal
year. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and continuing on the first day
of each calendar month thereafter, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as
Additional Rent, 1/12th of the total annualized amount of Lessee's Share of
(a) the cost of Lessor's Services and (b) Taxes. Upon delivery to Lessee of
the Statement for the preceding fiscal year, Lessor shall adjust Lessee's
account accordingly. If the total amount paid by Lessee on account of the
preceding fiscal year is less than the amount due hereunder, Lessee shall
pay the balance due within thirty (30) days after delivery by Lessor of
such Statement. If the total amount paid by Lessee on account of the
preceding fiscal year exceeds the amount due hereunder, such excess shall
be credited by Lessor against the monthly installment of Additional Rent
next falling due or refunded to Lessee upon the expiration or termination
of this Lease (unless such expiration or termination is the result of an
Event of
10
<PAGE> 14
Default). Lessor's current fiscal year is July 1 - June 30, but Lessor
reserves the right to change the fiscal year at any time during the Lease
Term.
Lessor shall not be held liable to anyone for the cessation of any of
Lessor's Services due to any accident, to the making of repairs,
alterations or improvements, or to the occurrence of an event of "Force
Majeure" (as hereinafter defined). Lessor shall have no obligation to
provide any services to the Premises, the Building, the Land or the Parking
Area other than those expressly identified above in this Section. In no
event shall Lessor be responsible for charges for any utilities or services
consumed by Lessee or provided to Lessee at the Premises.
8. Insurance
---------
8.1 PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE. Lessee shall take out and maintain in
force throughout the Lease Term comprehensive public liability
insurance naming Lessor, Lessee, and persons claiming under them, if
any, as additional insureds against all claims and demands for any
injury to persons or property which may be claimed to have occurred in
the Premises, the Building, on the Land or on ways adjoining the Land,
in an amount which at the beginning of the Lease Term shall not be
less than $1,000,000 for injury or death of one person, $3,000,000 for
injury or death of more than one person in a single accident and
$500,000 for property damage, or such higher amounts as Lessor shall
reasonably determine are required by reason of Lessee's use of the
Premises, and which thereafter, if Lessor requires, shall be in such
higher amounts as are then consistent with sound commercial practice
in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
8.2 CASUALTY INSURANCE. Lessee shall take out and maintain throughout the
Lease Term a policy of fire, vandalism, malicious mischief, extended
coverage and so-called all risk coverage insurance insuring all of
"Lessee's Work", "Lessee's Property" and all "Alterations" (as these
terms are hereinafter defined) for the benefit of Lessor and Lessee,
as their respective interests may appear, in an amount equal to the
replacement value thereof. Lessor shall be named as a certificate
holder on such policy. Lessor shall, at Lessee's cost and expense,
cooperate fully with Lessee and execute any and all consents and other
instruments and take all other actions necessary to obtain the largest
possible recovery. Lessor shall not carry any insurance concurrent in
coverage and contributing in the event of
11
<PAGE> 15
loss with any insurance required to be furnished by Lessee hereunder
if the effect of such separate insurance would be to reduce the
protection or the payment to be made under Lessee's insurance.
All insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall
include insurance against payment of rents in an amount sufficient to
pay all Rent which would otherwise be required to be paid under this
Lease during the period of restoration.
8.3 CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE. All insurance required to be maintained by
Lessee hereunder: shall be placed with insurers reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor and authorized to do business in Massachusetts;
shall provide that it may not be canceled without at least thirty (30)
days prior written notice to each additional insured or certificate
holder named therein; and shall provide that it may not be amended
without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to each such
person. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor certificates of insurance for
all insurance required to be maintained by Lessee under this Lease,
together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor of the
payment of all premiums for such policies. Lessee, at Lessor's
request, shall also deliver such certificates and evidence of payment
to the holder of any mortgage affecting the Premises, the Building,
the Land or any portion thereof.
8.4 LESSOR'S INSURANCE. Lessor shall take out and maintain in force
throughout the Lease Term, in a company or companies authorized to do
business in Massachusetts, casualty insurance on the Building
(excluding "Lessee's Work", "Lessee's Property" and all "Alterations"
(as hereinafter defined)) in an amount equal to the full replacement
value of the Building (exclusive of foundations and those items set
forth in the preceding parenthetical in this sentence), covering all
risks of direct physical loss or damage and so-called "extended
coverage" risks. This insurance may be maintained in the form of a
blanket policy covering the Building as well as other properties owned
by Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
8.4, Lessor shall have the right, at any time during the Lease Term,
to self-insure all or any portion of the coverages required by this
Section.
8.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. To the extent to which a waiver of subrogation
clause is available, Lessor and Lessee shall obtain a provision in all
insurance policies
12
<PAGE> 16
carried by such party covering the Premises, including but not limited
to contents, fire and casualty insurance, expressly waiving any right
on the part of the insurer against the other party. If extra cost is
chargeable for such provision, then the party requesting such waiver
shall be responsible for the payment of such extra cost.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to such portion of the
Lease Term during which Lessor elects to self-insure under Section 8.4
above, then for purposes of this Section 8.5, Lessor shall be deemed
to have maintained fire and all-risk coverage in an amount equal to
one hundred (100%) percent of the insurable value of the Building
(subject to the exceptions and exclusions set forth in Section 8.4
above) with a waiver of subrogation clause contained therein.
8.6 WAIVER OF RIGHTS. All claims, causes of action and rights of recovery
for any damage to or destruction of persons, property or business
which shall occur on or about the Premises, the Building or the Land,
which result from any of the perils insured under any and all policies
of insurance maintained by Lessor or Lessee, are waived by each party
as against the other party, and the officers, directors, employees,
contractors, servants and agents thereof, regardless of cause,
including the negligence of the other party and its respective
officers, directors, employees, contractors, servants and agents, but
only to the extent of recovery, if any, under such policy or policies
of insurance; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) this waiver shall be null
and void to the extent that any such insurance shall be invalidated by
reason of this waiver, and (ii) with respect to such portion of the
Lease Term during which Lessor elects to self-insure under Section 8.4
above, then for purposes of this Section 8.6, Lessor shall be deemed
to have maintained fire and all-risk coverage in an amount equal to
one hundred (100%) percent of the insurable value of the Building
(subject to the exceptions and exclusions set forth in Section 8.4
above).
9. Assignment and Subletting.
-------------------------
(a) Lessee shall not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, or assign this Lease
or sublease the Premises or any portion thereof (the term "sublease"
shall be deemed to include any arrangement pursuant to which a third
party is permitted by Lessee to occupy all or any portion of the
Premises), without obtaining, on each occasion, the prior written
consent of Lessor, which consent (in the
13
<PAGE> 17
case of a proposed assignment or sublease) shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee shall not have more than
three (3) subleases in effect at any one time (exclusive of subleases
entered into pursuant to paragraph 9.0(i) below), nor shall Lessee
have the right to assign this Lease or to sublet any portion of the
Premises during the first twelve (12) months after the Commencement
Date.
(b) If Lessee wishes to assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion
of the Premises, Lessee shall so notify Lessor in writing and request
Lessor's consent thereto. Such notice shall include (i) the name of
the proposed assignee or sublessee, (ii) a general description of the
types of business conducted by the proposed assignee or sublessee and
a reasonably detailed description of the business operations proposed
to be conducted in the Premises by such person or entity, (iii) such
financial information concerning the proposed assignee or sublessee as
Lessor may reasonably require, and (iv) all terms and provisions upon
which such assignment or sublease is proposed to be made, including a
copy of the assignment or sublease agreement which Lessee proposes to
execute. Lessor shall have twenty (20) days from the day on which it
receives Lessee's notice and such required information to give notice
to Lessee that either (i) Lessor consents to such assignment or
sublease, or (ii) Lessor withholds its consent to such assignment or
sublease.
(c) If Lessor consents to an assignment or sublease: (i) Lessee shall
promptly deliver to Lessor a fully executed copy of said assignment or
sublease; (ii) Lessee shall remain primarily liable to Lessor
hereunder (which liability shall be joint and several with the
assignee or sublessee); and (iii) if the aggregate rent and other
amounts payable to Lessee under or in connection with such assignment
or sublease, after deduction of the costs reasonably incurred by
Lessee in entering into such assignment or sublease (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, brokerage
commissions, and alteration costs amortized on a straight-line basis
over the term of such sublease), exceeds the Rent payable hereunder,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor immediately upon receipt thereof by Lessee,
as Additional Rent, (i) during the Initial Term, twenty-five (25%)
percent of such excess, and (ii) during the Extension Term, fifty
(50%) percent of such excess.
14
<PAGE> 18
(d) If Lessor withholds its consent to such assignment or sublease, Lessee
shall not enter into the proposed assignment or sublease with such
person or entity.
(e) Regardless of whether Lessor grants such consent, Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor on demand, as Additional Rent, for all out of pocket
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees)
reasonably incurred by Lessor in responding to a request for such
consent.
(f) Lessee shall not be entitled to enter into any assignment or sublease,
or to request Lessor's consent thereto, during the continuance of an
Event of Default hereunder by Lessee.
(g) Any assignment or sublease entered into pursuant to this Section 9.0
shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease,
including without limitation this Section 9.0. If Lessee enters into
any such assignment or sublease, Lessor may, at any time and from time
to time after the occurrence of a default hereunder, collect rent from
such assignee or sublessee, and apply the net amount collected against
Lessee's obligations hereunder, but no such assignment or sublease or
collection shall be deemed an acceptance by Lessee of such assignee or
sublessee as a lessee hereunder or as a release of the original named
Lessee hereunder.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, Lessee shall not
enter into any assignment or sublease with any person or entity if the
identity of the assignee or sublessee is inconsistent with the
investment policies of Lessor as set forth in writing by the Executive
Committee of Lessor prior to its receipt of Lessee's notice of such
proposed assignment or sublease, and any such transaction shall be
void AB INITIO. From time to time during the Term, Lessee may request
in writing that Lessor deliver to it copies of all investment policies
set forth in writing by the Executive Committee of Lessor since the
last request made by Lessee which are relevant to the Premises or to
this Lease, and Lessor shall provide the same within a reasonable time
after receiving such request. Lessee shall maintain the
confidentiality of all investment policies provided by Lessor pursuant
to this Section, and shall not disclose the contents thereof or
distribute copies thereof to any persons whatsoever
15
<PAGE> 19
(other than Lessee's counsel) without the prior written consent of
Lessor.
(i) In the event that Lessee desires to assign this Lease or to sublease
the Premises (or any portion thereof) to any corporation, partnership,
association or other business organization directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by Lessee or under common control with
Lessee, or to any successor by merger, consolidation or purchase of
all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee, Lessee shall give at
least twenty (20) days' prior written notice thereof to Lessor (unless
Lessee is prohibited by applicable laws, codes, rules or regulations,
or by the terms of the operative merger agreement or purchase and sale
agreement from providing notice to Lessor at such time, in which event
such notice shall be provided to Lessor as soon as Lessee is no longer
subject to such prohibition). No consent of Lessor shall be required
for any such assignment or sublease EXCEPT that Lessor shall have the
right to withhold its consent if the identity of the assignee or
sublessee is inconsistent with the investment policies identified in
the foregoing paragraph (h) of this Section. Any assignee or sublessee
which claims an interest in this Lease pursuant to a transfer of the
type described in this paragraph (i) shall be bound by all of the
terms and conditions of this Lease including, without limitation,
those of the foregoing paragraph (h) of this Section, and if the
identity of such assignee or successor is inconsistent with such
investment policies, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this
Lease and to exercise against such assignee or sublessee the remedies
available to Lessor under this Lease, at law or in equity for a breach
of the provisions hereof by Lessee. For the purpose of this Lease, the
sale of Lessee's capital stock through any public exchange shall not
be deemed an assignment or sublease of the Lease or of the Premises.
(j) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease, Lessee shall not,
either voluntarily or by operation of law, make any transfer of this
Lease or the Premises (or any portion thereof) which results in Lessee
(or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessee) collecting in
connection with the Premises any rental or other charge based on the
net income or on the profits of any person so as to render any part of
the Rent due hereunder "unrelated business taxable income" of Lessor
as described in Section 512 of the Internal Revenue
16
<PAGE> 20
Code of 1986, as amended, and any such transfer shall be void AB
INITIO.
10. PARKING. During the Initial Term, Lessee shall have the right, to use a
total of thirty-eight (38) parking spaces, subject to City of Cambridge
parking and zoning ordinances. These spaces may be located in one or more
parking lots located within 1,000 feet of the Land (collectively, the
"Off-Site Lots"). Such parking spaces shall be designated for use by Lessee
(but Lessor shall not be responsible for policing the use thereof). It is
agreed that initially the off-site parking spaces will be located on
Lessor's property at 252 Albany Street, but Lessor shall have the right to
relocate such spaces to other Off-Site Lots within 1,000 feet of the Land
from time to time during the Lease Term on thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Lessee.
Lessee shall pay on account of such parking spaces, as Additional Rent, on
the same day and in the same manner in which payments are to be made
pursuant to Section 6.2 above, a percentage share of the Taxes assessed
upon each of the Off-Site Lots in which any of the leased parking spaces
are located, such percentage to be determined by dividing the number of
parking spaces leased by Lessee pursuant to this Section in each of such
Off-Site Lots as of the first day of the municipal fiscal year by the total
number of parking spaces contained in each if such Off-Site Lots.
During the Extension Term, Lessee shall pay, as Additional Rent, on the
same day on which Basic Rent is due and payable hereunder, rent on account
of each parking space leased at the then Fair Market Rent thereof, which
amount may be adjusted by Lessor from year to year.
11. LATE PAYMENT OF RENT. Lessee agrees that in the event that any payment of
Basic Rent or Additional Rent shall remain unpaid at the close of business
on the tenth business day after the same is due and payable hereunder,
there shall become due to Lessor from Lessee, as Additional Rent and as
compensation for Lessor's extra administrative costs in investigating the
circumstances of late Rent, a late charge of two percent (2%) of the amount
overdue. The assessment or collection of such a charge shall not be deemed
to be a waiver by Lessor of any default by Lessee arising out of such
failure to pay Rent when due.
12. LESSEE'S COVENANTS. Lessee acknowledges that the Building is in good and
satisfactory order, repair and condition, and covenants, at its sole cost
and expense, during the Lease Term and such further time as Lessee holds
any part of the Premises:
17
<PAGE> 21
(a) to pay when due the Basic Rent and all Additional Rent, and all
charges for utilities and services supplied to the Premises pursuant
to agreements between Lessee and the appropriate utility company or
provider of such services;
(b) to keep the Premises, including, without limitation, the Building
systems (such as plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning,
and electrical) located within or serving the Premises and window
glass and the non-structural portions of the roof (e.g., roof
membrane) (but EXCLUDING the exterior skin of the Building, the
structural components of the Building and the roof, and the Parking
Area), in as good order, repair and condition as the same are in as of
the date of this Lease or are hereafter put pursuant to the Work
Letter, excepting only damage by fire or other casualty or taking
which Lessee is not otherwise required by the terms of this Lease to
repair or restore, reasonable wear and tear, and damage caused by
other tenants of the Building;
(c) not to injure, overload or deface the Premises, nor to suffer or
commit any waste therein, nor to place a load upon any floor which
exceeds the floor load which the floor was designed to carry (Lessor
hereby represents and warrants to Lessee that the floor load of the
first floor of the Building is not less than 125 pounds per square
foot), nor to connect any equipment or apparatus to any Building
system which exceeds the capacity of such system, nor to permit on the
Premises any auction sale or any inflammable fluids or chemicals which
are not used, stored and disposed of in compliance with all laws,
ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, and the provisions of any
license, permit or other governmental consent or approval required for
or applicable now or at any time during the Lease Term to the Premises
or any portion thereof or Lessee's use thereof (collectively, "Legal
Requirements"), nor to permit any nuisance or the emission from the
Premises of any objectionable vibration, noise, or odor, nor to permit
the use of the Premises for any purpose other than the Permitted Uses,
nor any use thereof which is contrary to any Legal Requirements, or
which is liable to invalidate or increase the premiums for any
insurance on the Building or its contents, or liable to render
necessary any alterations or additions to the Building;
18
<PAGE> 22
(d) not to obstruct in any manner any portion of the sidewalks or
approaches to the Building or any portion of the Parking Area;
(e) to comply with all Legal Requirements and all recommendations of
Lessor's fire insurance rating organization now or hereafter in
effect, to keep the Premises equipped with all reasonable and
necessary safety appliances, and to procure (and maintain in full
force and effect) all licenses, permits and other governmental
consents and approvals required by any Legal Requirement or by the
provisions of any applicable insurance policy because of the use made
of the Premises by Lessee (without intending hereby to vary the
provisions of Section 5.0 above), and, if requested by Lessor, to make
all repairs, alterations, replacements or additions so required in and
to the Premises, and to cooperate with Lessor in the obtaining and
renewal by Lessor of all licenses, permits and other governmental
consents and approvals with respect to the Premises, the Building or
the Land which Lessor is required by applicable laws, ordinances,
codes, rules or regulations to obtain in its own name;
(f) not to make any alterations, renovations, improvements and/or
additions to the Premises (collectively, "Alterations"), without on
each occasion obtaining prior written consent of Lessor, which consent
may be withheld by Lessor in its reasonable discretion (taking into
account the effect of such proposed Alterations on the structural
integrity of the Building, whether such proposed Alterations would be
detrimental to the Building systems as modified by Lessee's Work, and
the effect of such proposed Alterations on the external appearance of
the Building), (except that no such prior written consent of Lessor
shall be required for Alterations which (i) shall not exceed $10,000
in each instance, and (ii) do not affect the structural integrity of
the Building, and (iii) are not detrimental to the Building systems as
modified by Lessee's Work, and (iv) do not affect the exterior
appearance of the Building, PROVIDED that in each such case (x) Lessee
shall still provide advance notice to Lessor of the intended
Alterations, and (y) such Alterations shall be subject to all of the
provisions of this paragraph (f) other than the requirement of
Lessor's prior consent); or to make any holes in any part of the
Building or paint or place any signs, awnings, aerials or flagpoles,
or the like, visible from outside of the Premises and not previously
consented to in writing by Lessor. Prior to commencing
19
<PAGE> 23
any Alterations, Lessee shall: secure all necessary licenses, permits
and other governmental consents and approvals; obtain the written
approval of Lessor as to the plans and specifications for such work
(where such approval is required under this paragraph (f)); obtain the
written approval of Lessor as to the general contractor (not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); cause each contractor
and subcontractor to carry worker's compensation insurance in
statutory amounts covering all of the contractor's and subcontractor's
employees; and cause each general contractor (or each trade contractor
if there is no general contractor) to carry comprehensive public
liability insurance in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Lessor (such
insurance to be written by companies reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
and insuring Lessee and Lessor as well as the contractors). After the
first two (2) requests for Lessor's approval of proposed Alterations,
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor, promptly upon demand therefor, for
one-half (1/2) of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably
incurred by Lessor in reviewing any plans, drawings and specifications
submitted by Lessee pursuant to this paragraph (f) (but Lessee shall
not be required to pay to Lessor more than $3,000.00 in connection
with any one set of Alterations and this charge shall not apply to any
Alterations proposed to be constructed by Lessee in the Expansion
Premises in anticipation of the initial occupancy thereof by Lessee),
which reimbursement shall be due and payable as Additional Rent. All
Alterations (other than Tenant's removable personal property and trade
fixtures) shall remain part of the Premises and shall not be removed
upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term EXCEPT
for those items which (i) either Lessor or Lessee designates for
removal in a notice given to the other party at the time that Lessee
requests Lessor's approval of such Alteration (if such approval is
required hereunder), or (ii) Lessee designates for removal at the time
that it notifies Lessor of its intent to make such Alteration (where
Lessor's prior approval is not required hereunder), or (iii) Lessor
designates for removal in a notice given to Lessee within ten (10)
days after Lessee notifies Lessor of its intent to make such
Alteration (where Lessor's prior approval is not required hereunder).
Lessee shall pay promptly when due the entire cost of such work.
Lessee shall not cause or permit any liens for labor or materials
performed or furnished in connection therewith to attach to the Land
or the Building, and shall discharge or bond any such liens which may
be
20
<PAGE> 24
filed or recorded within thirty (30) days after the filing or
recording thereof. All such work shall be performed in a good and
workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Legal Requirements and
the provisions of all applicable insurance policies. Promptly after
the completion of any Alterations, Lessee shall provide an as-built
plan (or, where appropriate in light of the nature or scope of the
Alterations, an as-built sketch) thereof to Lessor. Lessee shall
indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all suits,
demands, causes of action, claims, losses, debts, liabilities,
damages, penalties or judgments, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from injury to any person or
damage to any property occasioned by or growing out of such work
performed prior to the last day of the Lease Term, which indemnity
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease provided
that such claim is asserted not later than three (3) years after the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. The provisions of
this paragraph (f) shall not apply to the performance of "Lessee's
Work" (as defined in the Work Letter) but shall apply to any
Alterations proposed by Lessee to be constructed in any space leased
pursuant to Section 2.0 above);
(g) to save Lessor harmless and indemnified from any loss, cost and
expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees)
arising out of or relating to (i) a claim of injury to any person or
damage to any property while in the Premises, if not due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or its officers, agents,
employees, servants or contractors, or the breach of Lessor's
obligations under this Lease; or to (ii) a claim of injury to any
person or damage to any property while in the Building (but not within
the Premises) or on the Land or on the sidewalks or ways adjoining the
Land, occasioned by any omission, neglect or default of Lessee or of
anyone claiming by, through, or under Lessee, or any officer, agent,
employee, servant, contractor or invitee of any of the foregoing. The
provisions of this clause (g) shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease with respect to any claim arising prior to
the last day of the Lease Term regardless of whether such claim has
been asserted by the last day of the Lease Term;
(h) consistent with the provisions of this paragraph (h) concerning
Lessor's access to the Premises, to permit Lessor and Lessor's agents
to examine the Premises at reasonable times, and if Lessor shall so
elect (without
21
<PAGE> 25
hereby imposing any obligation on Lessor to do so), to permit Lessor
to make any repairs or additions Lessor may deem necessary; and at
Lessee's expense to remove any Alterations, signs, awnings, aerials or
flagpoles, or the like, not consented to in writing; and to permit
Lessor to show the Premises to prospective purchasers and tenants (at
reasonable times on reasonable advance notice to Lessee) and to keep
affixed to any suitable part of the Premises, during the nine (9)
months preceding the expiration of the Lease Term, appropriate notices
for letting or selling.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except in
the event of an emergency requiring prompt attention in order to
prevent damage to life or serious property damage, Lessor shall be
permitted access to the Premises only upon at least twenty-four (24)
hours' prior written notice to Dr. William Kelley or such other
management level employee designated by Lessee, and when accompanied
by a representative of Lessee designated by Lessee. Any such access
shall only be permitted during Lessee's normal business hours and
shall not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's operations. Lessor
shall take all reasonable precautions necessary to minimize any
disruption of Lessee's activities. All persons entering the Premises
shall comply with all reasonable safety and security requirements of
Lessee. No access shall be permitted into those portions of the
Premises designated by Lessee as a "clean room" or as a secured area
except in the event of an emergency or at other times upon the
conditions set forth in the preceding provisions of this paragraph
(h). In the event of an emergency which occurs during traditional
business hours, prior to entering the Premises, Lessor shall provide
oral notice to Lessee. In the event of an emergency which does not
occur during traditional business hours, prior to entering the
Premises, Lessor shall provide notice to Lessee via telephonic
transmission to such telecopier numbers and telephonic pager numbers
as Lessee may provide from time to time;
(i) that all merchandise, furniture, fixtures, effects and property of
every kind of Lessee and of all persons claiming by, through or under
Lessee which may be on the Premises from time to time (collectively,
"Lessee's Property") shall be at the sole risk of Lessee, and Lessor
shall not be liable if the whole or any part thereof shall be
destroyed or damaged by fire, water or otherwise, or by the leakage or
bursting of water pipes, steam pipes, or other pipes, or by theft or
from
22
<PAGE> 26
any other cause unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct
of Lessor;
(j) to pay promptly when due, all taxes of any kind levied, imposed or
assessed on Lessee's Property, which taxes shall be the sole
obligation of Lessee, whether the same is assessed to Lessee or to any
other person and whether the property on which such tax is levied,
imposed or assessed shall be considered part of the Premises or
personal property; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lessee shall have the right
to contest the amount of any such taxes by appropriate legal
proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, without cost, expense,
liability or damage to Lessor, provided in each case that: (i) no lien
or encumbrance shall attach to the Land, Building or any equipment and
improvements therein by reason of non-payment or otherwise by reason
of such contest; (ii) Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against liability
resulting from or incurred in connection with such contest; and (iii)
Lessee shall keep Lessor regularly advised as to the status of such
contest;
(k) by the end of business on the last day of the Lease Term (or the
effective date of any earlier termination of this Lease as herein
provided), to remove all of Lessee's Property, and those Alterations
designated for removal as provided in paragraph (f) above, whether the
same be permanently affixed to the Premises or not, and to repair any
damage caused by any such removal to Lessor's reasonable satisfaction;
and to remove the contents of all neutralization tanks installed by
Lessee in the Premises; and peaceably to yield up the Premises clean
and in good order, repair and condition (excepting only reasonable
wear and tear, and damage by fire or other casualty or taking which
Lessee is not otherwise required by the terms of this Lease to repair
or restore); and to deliver the keys to the Premises to Lessor. Any of
Lessee's Property or those Alterations designated for removal as
provided in paragraph (f) above, which is not removed by such date
shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed and disposed of by Lessor
in such manner as Lessor may determine, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor
on demand, as Additional Rent, the entire cost of such removal and
disposition, together with the costs and expenses incurred by Lessor
in making any incidental repairs and replacements to the Premises
necessitated by Lessee's failure to remove Lessee's Property or any of
those Alterations designated for removal as provided in paragraph (f)
above, as required herein or by any other failure of
23
<PAGE> 27
Lessee to comply with the terms of this Lease, and for use and
occupancy during the period after the expiration of the Lease Term and
prior to Lessee's performance of its obligations under this paragraph
(k). Lessee hereby acknowledges that any failure or delay on Lessee's
part in surrendering the Premises as above provided shall subject
Lessor to the expense of performing such work and the risk of losing a
successor tenant;
(l) to pay Lessor's reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred in enforcing any obligations of Lessee under this
Lease;
(m) not to generate, store or use any "Hazardous Materials" (as
hereinafter defined) in or on the Premises except those identified in
writing to Lessor from time to time (such identification may take the
form of delivery by Lessee to Lessor of material safety data sheets
for such Hazardous Materials), and then only in compliance with any
and all applicable Legal Requirements, or dispose of Hazardous
Materials from the Premises to any other location, except a properly
approved disposal facility and then only in compliance with any and
all applicable Legal Requirements, nor permit any occupant of the
Premises to do so. As used in this Lease, "Hazardous Materials" means
and includes any chemical, substance, waste, material, gas or emission
which is radioactive or is deemed hazardous, toxic, a pollutant, or a
contaminant under any statute, ordinance, by-law, rule, regulation,
executive order or other administrative order, judgment, decree,
injunction or other judicial order of or by any governmental
authority, now or hereafter in effect, relating to pollution or
protection of human health or the environment, including, without
limitation, those enumerated in the following sentence (collectively,
"Environmental Laws"). By way of illustration and not limitation,
"Hazardous Materials" includes "oil", "hazardous materials",
"hazardous waste", and "hazardous substance" as defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,
42 U.S.C. Section 9601 ET SEQ., as amended, the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Section 6902 ET SEQ., as amended,
and the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 2601 ET SEQ.,
as amended, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and Massachusetts
General Laws, Chapter 21C and Chapter 21E and the regulations
promulgated thereunder. If at any time during the Lease Term, any
governmental authority, by reason of the use of the Premises made by
Lessee or
24
<PAGE> 28
anyone claiming by, through or under Lessee, requires testing to
determine whether there has been any release of Hazardous Materials by
Lessee, then Lessee shall reimburse Lessor upon demand, as Additional
Rent, for the reasonable costs thereof. If, in anticipation of the
commencement of the Lease Term or at any time during the Lease Term,
Lessee performs any testing to determine whether there has been any
release of Hazardous Materials onto or below the surface of the
Premises, Lessee shall promptly provide a copy of such report to
Lessor at no charge to Lessor. Lessee shall execute such affidavits as
may be reasonably requested by Lessor from time to time, concerning
Lessee's best knowledge and belief concerning the presence of
Hazardous Materials in or on the Premises. Subject to the provisions
of Section 12(h) above, Lessor reserves the right to enter the
Premises at reasonable times (provided twenty-four (24) hours' notice
is given to Lessee, except in case of emergency) to inspect the same
for Hazardous Materials. Lessee's obligations under this paragraph (m)
shall include, if at any time during the Lease Term Lessee uses or
stores radioactive materials on the Premises, compliance with all
so-called "close-out" procedures of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
or other federal, state or local governmental authorities having
jurisdiction over radioactive materials, regardless of whether or not
such procedures are completed prior to the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease Term. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless Lessor, and the holder of any mortgage on the Premises
or any portion thereof, from and against any claim, cost, expense,
liability, obligation or damage, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and the cost of litigation, arising from or
relating to the breach by Lessee of the provisions of this clause (m),
and shall immediately discharge or cause to be discharged any lien
imposed upon the Building or the Land in connection with any such
claim.
Lessee shall not be responsible for any noncompliance with
Environmental Laws or Legal Requirements to the extent attributable to
conditions already existing on the date hereof, or contamination
caused by Lessor or any other tenant of Lessor (excluding Lessee and
anyone claiming by, through or under Lessee) or their respective
employees, agents and invitees after the date hereof. Nothing herein
shall be deemed to create an obligation on the part of Lessee with
respect to (1) contamination already existing before the date hereof,
or (2) contamination caused by Lessor or any other
25
<PAGE> 29
tenant of Lessor (excluding Lessee and anyone claiming by, through or
under Lessee) or their respective agents, employees or invitees after
the date hereof. For purposes of this paragraph 12(m) and this Lease,
the term "contamination" shall mean the uncontained presence of
Hazardous Materials at the Premises, or arising from the Premises,
which requires remediation under any applicable Environmental Law or
Legal Requirement.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to impair Lessee's right to contest any
governmental agency's orders or directives with respect to
environmental matters PROVIDED that (i) such contest is diligently
conducted in good faith, in the name of Lessee, without cost, expense,
liability or damage to Lessor; (ii) such contest shall not subject
Lessor to civil or criminal penalty or to prosecution for a crime, nor
subject the Land, the Building or any part thereof to being condemned
or vacated, or subject to any lien or encumbrance, by reason of such
contest; (iii) before the commencement of such contest, Lessee shall
furnish to Lessor the bond of a surety company reasonably satisfactory
to Lessor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, or
other security in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessor, in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of compliance with
such order or directive (as reasonably estimated by Landlord); (iv)
Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against the cost of such compliance and
liability resulting from or incurred in connection with such contest
or non-compliance; and (v) Lessee shall keep Lessor regularly advised
as to the status of such proceedings in good faith.
The provisions of this clause (m) shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Lease; and
(n) not to permit any officer, agent, employee, servant, contractor or
visitor of Lessee to violate any covenant or obligation of Lessee
hereunder.
13. Construction

13.1 WORK LETTER. The Premises shall be renovated and finished in
accordance with the provisions of the Work Letter attached hereto as
EXHIBIT C.
13.2 ROOF LOAD CAPACITY. Lessee shall cause its structural engineer to
inspect the roof of the Building in those locations in which Lessee
intends to install roof-top
26

equipment as part of "Lessee's Work" (as defined in the Work Letter).
If such engineer determines that the roof load capacity is less than
30 pounds per square foot in any of such locations: (i) Lessee shall
notify Lessor in writing; and (ii) as part of Lessee's Work, Lessee
shall reinforce such portions of the roof as reasonably required for
the roof-top equipment which Lessee intends to install; and (iii) upon
completion of Lessee's Work (as evidenced by a "Certificate of
Substantial Completion" issued by Lessee's architect) and the
commencement of the payment of Rent by Lessee, Lessee shall be
entitled to submit to Lessor for reimbursement paid invoices for the
cost of such reinforcement of the roof. Provided that such invoices
are reasonably satisfactory in form and content to Lessor, then Lessor
shall promptly reimburse Lessee for such cost. The amount of such
reimbursement shall be fully amortized over the portion of the Initial
Lease Term remaining as of the date of such payment by Lessor to
Lessee, on a straight-line basis. Lessee shall pay such amounts in
equal monthly installments, as Additional Rent, at the same time and
in the same manner as Basic Rent.
13.3 FLOOR LOADS. In the event that at any time during the performance of
Lessee's Work, Lessee's structural engineer determines that the floor
load of the first floor of the Premises is less than 125 pounds per
square foot, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing. If requested by
Lessee, Lessor shall, at its sole cost and expense and without
reimbursement from Lessee, be responsible for reinforcing such
portions of the first floor of the Building so as to achieve a floor
load of at least 125 pounds per square foot.
14. Eminent Domain and Casualty.
----------------------------
14.1 SUBSTANTIAL TAKING. In the event that (i) more than fifty (50%)
percent of the rentable area of the Premises then occupied by the
named Lessee itself, shall be taken by any exercise of the right of
eminent domain or other lawful power in pursuance of any public or
other authority during the Lease Term, then this Lease shall terminate
as of the time that possession is taken by the taking authority.
14.2 AWARDS. Lessor reserves and excepts all rights to damage to the
Premises, the Building, the Land and the leasehold hereby created, now
accrued or hereafter accruing by reason of any exercise of eminent
domain, or by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of
27
<PAGE> 31
any public or other authority, and by way of confirmation, Lessee
grants to Lessor all of Lessee's rights to such damages and covenants
to execute and deliver such further instruments of assignment thereof
as Lessor may from time to time request. Lessee shall be entitled only
to such award, if any, as is specifically allocated by the taking
authority to Lessee on account of relocation expenses or other damages
suffered by Lessee as a result of such taking.
14.3 SUBSTANTIAL CASUALTY. If the Premises are damaged by fire or other
casualty, Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor thereof. If the Premises
or any part thereof shall be so damaged to the extent that more than
fifty (50%) percent of the rentable area of the Premises then occupied
by the named Lessee itself is rendered unusable by Lessee for the
operation of its business in the Premises (whether by reason of direct
or indirect damage from the casualty), or if the Building is so
damaged (regardless of whether or not the Premises are damaged) that
Lessee is deprived of all reasonable access to the Premises or all
reasonable use of the Premises, then in either case either Lessor or
Lessee may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of such
termination to the other party within sixty (60) days after the date
of such damage, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date
set forth in such notice. In the event that this Lease is terminated
pursuant to this Section 14.3: (i) Rent shall be abated, to the extent
the Premises are unusable for the Permitted Uses, from and after the
date of such damage to the date of such termination of this Lease, and
no further Rent shall accrue or be payable after the date of such
termination; and (ii) Lessee shall turn over and assign to Lessor all
insurance proceeds (and rights to receive the same) relating to
Lessee's Work and any Alterations EXCEPT for the portion (if any) of
such proceeds which is allocable to the actual cash value of the
components thereof which had previously been designated in writing to
by one party to the other as items to be removed upon the expiration
of the Lease Term.
14.4 REPAIR AND RESTORATION. In the event of a taking which does not result
in the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 14.1 above, or a
casualty which does not result in the termination of this Lease
pursuant to Section 14.3 above, the Premises shall be repaired and
restored in the manner provided in this Section. Lessor shall
diligently act to restore the Building and the Premises (exclusive of
Lessee's Work,
28
<PAGE> 32
any Alterations made by Lessee, and Lessee's Property) or, in case of
taking, what remains thereof, to substantially the condition in which
they existed prior to the occurrence of such taking or casualty,
provided, however, that: (i) in no event shall Lessor be required to
spend in connection with restoring the Premises more than the amount
of insurance proceeds or taking award actually received and allocable
thereto (except that this limitation with respect to insurance
proceeds shall not apply to casualties occurring during such time as
Lessor self-insures pursuant to Section 8.4 above); (ii) Lessor shall
not be required to restore or replace any of Lessee's Work,
Alterations or Lessee's Property; and (iii) promptly upon completion
of such work by Lessor, Lessee shall diligently act to restore and/or
replace Lessee's Work, the Alterations and all of Lessee's Property to
substantially the same condition they were in prior to the occurrence
of such taking or casualty. All work performed by Lessor or by Lessee
pursuant to this Section shall be performed in a good and workerlike
manner, and in compliance with all Legal Requirements. Lessor shall
not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Lessee or injury
to the business of Lessee resulting in any way from such taking or
damage or the repair thereof. Rent shall be abated from and after the
date of such taking or damage to the date on which Lessor
substantially completes the restoration described above, to the extent
the Premises are unusable for the Permitted Uses, but the amount of
such abatement shall in no event exceed the amount received by Lessor
under the rental loss insurance policy required by Section 8.2 above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section:
(a) in the event that Lessor has not substantially completed, within
one (1) year after the date of such taking or damage (which
period shall be extended by the duration of any and all events of
Force Majeure), the restoration work which it is required by this
Section to perform, then Lessee shall have the right to terminate
this Lease by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to Lessor
within thirty (30) days after the end of such 1-year period (as
such 1-year period may be extended as provided above); and
(b) in the event that Lessor determines that the amount of insurance
proceeds available for the repair and restoration work for which
Lessor is
29
<PAGE> 33
responsible under this Section and Lessor refuses to provide the
funds necessary to make up such deficit, Lessor shall notify
Lessee within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such
casualty. Lessee shall then have the right to terminate this
Lease by giving written notice to Lessor within fifteen (15) days
after Lessee's receipt of Lessor's notice.
14.5 CASUALTY DURING LAST 12 MONTHS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that a material portion
of the Premises is damaged by a fire or other casualty occurring
during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, either party may
terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other within
thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such damage. If this Lease is so
terminated, Lessee shall turn over and assign to Lessor all insurance
proceeds (and rights to receive the same) relating to the Building
EXCEPT as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 14.3
above. However, if Lessee has exercised an Extension Option prior to
the occurrence of such casualty, then this Section 14.5 shall not
apply and neither party shall have the right to terminate this Lease
pursuant to this Section 14.5.
15. Defaults; Events of Default; Remedies.
--------------------------------------
15.1 DEFAULTS; EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following shall, if any requirement
for notice or lapse of time or both has not been met, constitute
defaults hereunder, and, if such requirements have been met,
constitute "Events of Default" hereunder:
(a) The failure of Lessee to perform or observe any of Lessee's
covenants or agreements hereunder concerning the payment of money
for a period of ten (10) business days after written notice
thereof, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lessee shall not be entitled to
such notice if Lessor has given notice to Lessee of two or more
previous such failures within a twelve-month period, in which
event such failure shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder
upon the expiration of ten (10) business days after such payment
was due;
(b) The failure of Lessee to maintain the insurance required
hereunder in full force and effect;
(c) The failure of Lessee to perform or observe any of Lessee's other
covenants or agreements hereunder
30
<PAGE> 34
for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof
(provided that, in the case of defaults not reasonably curable in
thirty (30) days through the exercise of reasonable diligence,
such 30-day period shall be extended for so long as Lessee
commences cure within such period and thereafter prosecutes such
cure to completion continuously and with reasonable diligence);
and
(d) if the leasehold hereby created shall be taken on execution, or
by other process of law, and such taking is not vacated by a
final order of a court of competent jurisdiction within sixty
(60) days thereafter; or if any assignment shall be made of
Lessee's property for the benefit of creditors; or if a receiver,
guardian, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer
shall be appointed to take charge of all or any part of Lessee's
property by a court of competent jurisdiction, and such
appointment is not vacated by a final order of a court of
competent jurisdiction within sixty (60) days thereafter; or if a
petition is filed by Lessee under any bankruptcy or insolvency
law; or if a petition is filed against Lessee under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law and the same shall not be dismissed
within sixty (60) days from the date upon which it is filed; or
if a lien or other involuntary encumbrance is filed against
Lessee's leasehold (or against the Premises, the Building or the
Land based on a claim against Lessee) and is not discharged or
bonded within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof.
15.2 TERMINATION. If an Event of Default shall occur, Lessor may, at its
option, immediately or any time thereafter and without demand or
notice, enter upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the
whole and repossess the same as of Lessor's former estate and
dispossess Lessee and those claiming through or under Lessee and
remove their effects, without being deemed guilty of any manner of
trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise
be used for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant, and upon
such entry this Lease shall terminate. In lieu of making such entry,
Lessor may terminate this Lease upon five (5) business days' prior
written notice to Lessee. Upon any termination of this Lease as the
result of an Event of Default, Lessee shall quit and peacefully
surrender the Premises to Lessor.
31
<PAGE> 35
15.3 SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS. No such termination of this Lease shall relieve
Lessee of its liability and obligations under this Lease and such
liability and obligations shall survive any such termination. Lessee
shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from all loss, cost, expense,
damage or liability arising out of or in connection with such
termination.
In the event of any such termination, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the
Rent up to the time of such termination. Lessee shall remain liable
for, and shall pay on the days originally fixed for such payment
hereunder, the full amount of all Basic Rent and Additional Rent as if
this Lease had not been terminated; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if Lessor
relets the Premises, there shall be credited against such obligation
the amount actually received by Lessor each month from such lessee
after first deducting all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
connection with reletting the Premises.
At any time within one (1) year after such termination, and regardless
of whether Lessee has made any payments to Lessor pursuant to the
preceding paragraph of this Section, Lessor may demand and Lessee
agrees to pay to Lessor on such demand, as and for liquidated and
agreed damages for Lessee's default, the present value of the amount
by which:
(a) the aggregate Rent which would have been payable under this
Lease by Lessee from the date of such termination until what
would have been the last day of the Lease Term but for such
termination, EXCEEDS
(b) the greater of (i) the fair and reasonable rental value of the
Premises for the same period, less Lessor's reasonable estimate
of expenses to be incurred in connection with reletting the
Premises, including, without limitation, all repossession costs,
brokerage commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorneys'
fees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparation for such
reletting, or (ii) the sum of (A) the amount actually received
or to be by Lessor from reletting the Premises pursuant to
leases which are in effect as of the date on which Lessor
elects to proceed under this paragraph, and (B) the amount (if
any) actually received by Lessor from Lessee pursuant to the
preceding paragraph of this Section on account of any period
after such termination.
32
<PAGE> 36
If the Premises or any part thereof are relet by Lessor for the period
prior to what would have been the last day of the Lease Term but for
such termination, or any portion thereof, the amount of rent reserved
upon such reletting shall be, PRIMA FACIE, the fair and reasonable
rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during
the term of the reletting.
In the event of the filing of a petition by or against Lessee under
any federal bankruptcy or insolvency law now or hereafter in effect,
nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Lessor
to prove and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such
termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or
rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings
in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be
greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred
to above.
15.4 RIGHT TO RELET. At any time or from time to time after any such
termination, Lessor may relet the Premises or any part thereof for
such a term (which may be greater or less than the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term) and on such
conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) as Lessor, in
its reasonable discretion, may determine, and may collect and receive
the rents therefor. Lessor shall in no way be responsible or liable
for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for any
failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting.
15.5 RIGHT TO EQUITABLE RELIEF. In the event of the occurrence of an Event
of Default hereunder, Lessor shall be entitled to seek to enjoin the
continuance thereof and shall have the right to invoke any right and
remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as
though re-entry and other remedies were not provided for in this
Lease.
15.6 RIGHT TO SELF HELP. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder, Lessor shall have the right to perform such
defaulted obligation of Lessee, including the right to enter upon the
Premises to do so. Lessor shall, as a courtesy only, notify Lessee of
its intention to perform such obligation. In the event of a default by
Lessee hereunder which has not yet continued beyond the expiration of
the applicable grace period but which Lessor determines constitutes an
emergency threatening imminent injury to persons or
33
<PAGE> 37
damage to property, Lessor shall have the right to perform such
defaulted obligation of Lessee (including the right to enter upon the
Premises to do so) after giving Lessee such notice (if any) as is
reasonable under the circumstances. In either event, the aggregate of
(i) all sums so paid by Lessor, (ii) interest at the rate of the
"prime" rate from time to time thereafter published in THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL plus 1-1/2% per annum on such sum, and (iii) all necessary
incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of
any such act by Lessor, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent under
this Lease and shall be payable to Lessor immediately upon demand.
Lessor may exercise its rights under this Section 15.6 without waiving
any other of its rights or releasing Lessee from any of its
obligations under this Lease.
15.7 FURTHER REMEDIES. Nothing in this Lease contained shall require Lessor
to elect any remedy for an Event of Default by Lessee hereunder, and
all rights herein provided shall be cumulative with one another and
with any other rights and remedies which Lessor may have at law or in
equity in the case of such Event of Default.
16. Intentionally Deleted.
---------------------
17. REAL ESTATE BROKER. Lessor and Lessee each represent to the other that they
have dealt with no broker in connection with this Lease other than Meredith
& Grew, Inc. ("Broker"). Lessor shall pay the Broker as part of a separate
agreement. Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and
against any claims for commissions or fees by any person other than the
Broker arising from a breach by Lessee of the foregoing representation.
Lessor agrees to indemnify and hold Lessee harmless from and against any
claims for commissions or fees by the Broker or any other person by reason
of a breach by Lessor of the foregoing representation.
18. NOTICES. Whenever by the terms of this Lease notice, demand, or other
communication shall or may be given either to Lessor or to Lessee, the same
shall be in writing and shall be sent by hand, or by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, or by Federal Express or other similar
overnight delivery service, to:

19. NO WAIVERS. Failure of either Lessor or Lessee to complain of any act or
omission on the part of the other, no matter how long the same may
continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by such non-complaining party
of any of its rights hereunder. No waiver by either Lessor or Lessee at any
time, expressed or implied, of any breach of any provision of this Lease
shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of any other provision of this Lease
or a consent to any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.
No acceptance by Lessor of any partial payment shall constitute an accord
or satisfaction but shall only be deemed a partial payment on account; nor
shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying
any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover
the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy available to
Lessor in this Lease or at law or in equity.
20. Lessor's Obligations.
--------------------
20.1 Generally. Lessor shall:
---------
(a) not obstruct in any manner any portion of the sidewalks or
approaches to the Building or any portion of the Parking Area
leased to Lessee hereunder;
35
<PAGE> 39
(b) pay Lessee's reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred in enforcing any obligations of Lessor under this
Lease; and
(c) save Lessee harmless and indemnified from any loss, cost and
expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's
fees) arising out of or relating to a claim of injury to any
person or damage to any property while on the Premises, in the
Building, on the Land or on the sidewalks or ways adjoining the
Land occasioned by any omission, neglect or default of Lessor or
any officer, agent, employee, servant, contractor or invitee of
Lessor. The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to any claim
arising prior to the last day of the Lease Term regardless of
whether such claim is asserted prior to the last day of the Lease
Term.
20.2 LESSOR'S MAINTENANCE. Lessor shall maintain: (i) the structural
components of the Building, (ii) the roof and exterior skin of the
Building, and (iii) the Parking Area in good order, repair and
condition, excepting only (a) damage by fire or other casualty or
taking which Lessor is not otherwise required by the terms of this
Lease to repair or restore, (b) reasonable wear and tear, or (c) the
negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of Lessee, anyone
claiming by, through or under Lessee, or any of the officers,
employees, agents, servants, contractors or invitees of any of the
foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all maintenance,
repair or replacement required to be made to any of the structural
components of the Building, or to the roof or the exterior skin of the
Building or to the Parking Area by reason of (i) any of Lessee's Work,
or any Alterations made by or on behalf of Lessee, or (ii) any act or
omission of Lessee, anyone claiming by, through or under Lessee, or
any of the officers, employees, agents, servants, contractors or
invitees of any of the foregoing, shall be solely the responsibility
of Lessee.
21. Ground Leases; Mortgages.
------------------------
21.1 RIGHTS OF GROUND LESSORS AND MORTGAGEES. No act or failure to act on
the part of Lessor which would entitle Lessee under the terms of this
Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Lessee's obligations hereunder or
to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release
36
<PAGE> 40
or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease
unless (i) Lessee shall have first given written notice to Lessor's
ground lessors and mortgagees of record of the act or failure to act
on the part of Lessor which Lessee claims as the basis of Lessee's
rights; and (ii) such ground lessors and mortgagees, after receipt of
such notice, have failed or refused to correct or cure the condition
within a reasonable time thereafter, but nothing in this Lease shall
be deemed to impose any obligation on any such ground lessor or
mortgagee to correct or cure any such condition. No ground lessor
shall be liable for the failure to perform any of the obligations of
Lessor hereunder unless and until such ground lessor terminates its
ground lease and takes possession of the Premises, nor shall any
mortgagee be liable for the failure to perform any of the obligations
of Lessor hereunder unless and until such mortgagee enters upon and
takes possession of the Premises for purposes of foreclosure.
21.2 LEASE SUBORDINATE. This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate
to any ground lease or mortgage now or hereafter on the Premises, and
to all advances under any such mortgage and to all renewals,
amendments, extensions and consolidations thereof, provided that the
holder of such ground lessor's interest or mortgagee's interest enters
into a non-disturbance and attornment agreement with Lessee which
provides that in the event that such ground lessor or mortgagee
succeeds to Lessor's interest hereunder, then, provided that Lessee is
not in default hereunder beyond the cure period provided in this
Lease, such party shall recognize and be bound by the terms of this
Lease. In the event that any ground lessor or the holder of any
mortgage succeeds to Lessor's interest in the Premises or any portion
thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to attorn to such ground lessor or
mortgagee. In confirmation of such subordination, Lessee shall execute
and deliver promptly any certificate in recordable form that Lessor or
any ground lessor or any mortgagee may reasonably request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the holder
of any mortgage on the Premises may at any time subordinate its
mortgage to this Lease by written notice to Lessee.
Lessor hereby represents to Lessee that as of the date of this Lease,
there are no mortgages or ground leases encumbering the Premises or
any portion thereof.
37
<PAGE> 41
22. NOTICE OF LEASE; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Lessor and Lessee agree that this
Lease shall not be recorded. However, upon the request of either party,
Lessor and Lessee shall execute and acknowledge a Notice of Lease in
mutually acceptable and recordable form.
From time to time during the Lease Term, and without charge, either party
shall, within fifteen (15) business days of request by the other, certify
by written instrument duly executed and acknowledged, to the requesting
party or to any person reasonably specified by the requesting party,
regarding (a) the existence of any amendments or supplements to this Lease;
(b) the validity and force and effect of this Lease; (c) the existence of
any known default or Event of Default; (d) the existence of any offsets,
counterclaims or defenses; (e) the Commencement Date and the expiration
date of the Lease Term; (f) the amount of Rent due and payable and the date
to which Rent has been paid; and (g) any other matter reasonably requested.
23. HOLDING OVER. If Lessee occupies the Premises after the day on which the
Lease Term expires (or the effective date of any earlier termination as
herein provided) without having entered into a new lease thereof with
Lessor, Lessee shall be a tenant-at-sufferance only, subject to all of the
terms and provisions of this Lease at two and one-half (2 1/2) times the
then-effective Basic Rent stated in Section 4.0 above. Such a holding over,
even if with the consent of Lessor, shall not constitute an extension or
renewal of this Lease. For purposes of this Section, the failure of Lessee
to complete by the last day of the Lease Term or the effective date of any
earlier termination as herein provided the "close-out" procedures required
by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or any other federal, state or local
governmental agency having jurisdiction over the use of radioactive
materials within the Premises shall constitute a holding over and subject
Lessee to the provisions of this Section.
24. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be deemed to be in default
hereunder (and the time for performance of any of their respective
obligations hereunder other than the payment of money shall be postponed)
for so long as the performance of such obligation is prevented by strike,
lock- out, act of God, absence of materials or any other matter not
reasonably within the control of the party which must perform the
obligation (collectively, "Force Majeure").
25. SIGNS. Lessee shall have the right to install up to two signs on the
Building, identifying its name and business, provided that (i) Lessee shall
obtain Lessor's reasonable prior written approval as to the location, size,
shape and
38
<PAGE> 42
appearance of each sign, and as to the plans and specifications relating to
such installation; (ii) Lessee shall install each such sign at its sole
cost; (iii) Lessee shall, at its sole cost, obtain all licenses, permits
and other governmental consents and approvals required by applicable Legal
Requirements to install the signs; (iv) Lessee shall cause such
installation to be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance
with all applicable Legal Requirements, the provisions of applicable
insurance policies, and the requirements of all existing restrictions,
easements and encumbrances of record affecting the Land; (v) Lessee shall,
at its sole cost, maintain the signs in good operating condition and in
accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, the provisions of
applicable insurance policies, and the requirements of all existing
restrictions, easements and encumbrances of record affecting the Land; and
(vi) Lessee shall, at its sole cost, remove the signs on or prior to the
date on which the Lease Term expires or this Lease is terminated and
restore the surface of the Land and/or the Building to the condition in
which it was prior to the installation of the signs. Lessor shall cooperate
with Lessee, at no cost to Lessor, in connection with the filing of any
application with the City of Cambridge necessary to obtain approval of the
signs as approved by Lessor.
All work done by or on behalf of Lessee pursuant to this Section shall be
subject to the requirements set forth in Section 12.0(f) above. Lessor may
inspect such work at any time or times and shall promptly give notice to
Lessee of any observed defects. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Lessor from and against any and all liability, damage, penalties
or judgments and from and against any claims, actions, proceedings and
expenses and costs in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, resulting from any work performed by or on behalf of Lessee pursuant
to this Section. Such signs shall be at Lessee's sole risk, and Lessor
shall not have no responsibility to maintain any insurance on them or
otherwise be responsible for any damage or destruction thereto.
26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. No oral statement or prior written matter shall have any
force or effect. This Agreement shall not be modified or canceled except by
writing subscribed to by all parties.
27. APPLICABLE LAW, SEVERABILITY AND CONSTRUCTION. This Lease shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of Massachusetts and, if any
provisions of this Lease shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of
this Lease, and the application of such provisions in other
39
<PAGE> 43
circumstances, shall not be affected thereby. The titles of the several
Sections contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be
considered in construing this Lease. Whenever the singular is used and when
required by the context it shall include the plural, and the neuter gender
shall include the masculine and feminine. The Exhibits attached to this
Lease are incorporated into this Lease by reference. This Lease may be
executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but
all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The term
"Lessor" whenever used herein, shall mean only the owner at the time of
Lessor's interest herein, and no covenant or agreement of Lessor, express
or implied, shall be binding upon any person except for defaults occurring
during such person's period of ownership nor binding individually upon any
officer, director, employee, fiduciary, shareholder or any beneficiary
under any trust, and the liability of Lessor, in any event, shall be
limited to Lessor's interest in the Building. If Lessee is several persons
or a partnership, Lessee's obligations are joint or partnership and also
several. Unless repugnant to the context, "Lessor" and "Lessee" mean the
person or persons, natural or corporate, named above as Lessor and as
Lessee respectively, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns.
28. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.
29. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee has deposited with Lessor contemporaneously with
its delivery to Lessor of executed counterparts of this Lease $8,500.00
(the "Security Deposit") as security for the full and faithful payment and
performance by Lessee of its obligations under this Lease from and after
the date of execution hereof by Lessee, and not as a prepayment of Rent.
The Security Deposit shall be kept in a money market savings account
separate from other funds of Lessor, and shall bear interest at the rate in
effect from time to time on such account, which interest shall be paid to
Lessee annually. Lessor may use the Security Deposit to cure any Event of
Default by Lessee (whether occurring prior to the Rent Commencement Date
hereunder or thereafter), and Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor on
demand, as Additional Rent, the amount so expended and such additional
amount as is required to cause the Security Deposit to equal the amount of
$8,500.00. Lessor shall assign the Security Deposit to any successor owner
of the Building and thereafter Lessor shall have no further responsibility
therefor. Upon the expiration (or
40
<PAGE> 44
earlier termination) of the Lease Term, Lessor shall inspect the Premises,
make such deductions from the Security Deposit as may be required to cure
any Event of Default by Lessee hereunder, and, if Lessee is not then in
default hereunder, pay the balance of the Security Deposit, if any, to
Lessee within thirty (30) days of such expiration or termination. If Lessee
is in default hereunder at the time of such expiration or termination, then
Lessor shall be entitled to retain so much of the Security Deposit as
Lessor reasonably estimates to be Lessee's liability to Lessor hereunder
and shall pay the balance, if any, to Lessee within such 30-day period.
30. AUTHORITY. Lessee hereby represents and warrants to Lessor that Michael J.
Landine has the authority to execute this Lease on behalf of Lessee. Lessee
shall furnish to Lessor a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of
Directors of Lessee ratifying Lessee's execution of the Lease promptly
after the July 1993 Board meeting. Lessor shall furnish appropriate
evidence of the authority of Lessor to enter into this Lease.

Requirements and the provisions of all applicable insurance policies or as
to the feasibility of constructing the work shown thereon, or (ii) impose
on Lessor any responsibility for a design defect, it being agreed that all
such responsibility shall remain solely with Lessee.
Lessee shall reimburse Lessor promptly upon demand therefor for all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lessor in
connection with the review by Lessor's architect, engineer or other
consultant (but not for Lessor's "in-house" review) of any plans, drawings
and specifications submitted by Lessee pursuant to this Work Letter, which
reimbursement shall be due and payable as Additional Rent.

materials and in compliance with the Working Drawings, the Construction
Authorizations, all Legal Requirements, and the provisions of all
applicable insurance policies.
6. DELAYS. No delays in the preparation of preliminary drawings, plans or
specifications, or in the preparation of Working Drawings, or in the
performance and completion of Lessee's Work, regardless of the cause
thereof, shall affect the Commencement Date or the Rent Commencement Date.
A breach of any provision of this Work Letter shall constitute a default
under the Lease, for which Lessor shall have all remedies therein provided.
7. LESSOR'S AND LESSEE'S REPRESENTATIVES. Prior to the commencement of any
design work for the Premises, each party hereto shall designate in writing
to the other a person as "Lessor's Representative" and "Lessee's

as provided in Section 5.0 of the Original Lease, the costs incurred by

ten (10) years rather than the 5-year period stated in the Original Lease,
with such amortization period commencing on the first day of the first
calendar month commencing after the day on which such work is substantially
completed (i.e., completed except for items of work which are not necessary
to make the Building or the Building Addition (as the case may be)

10 of the Lease shall be adjusted to reflect the number of parking spaces
then leased by Lessee pursuant to said Section 10.

the portion of the Premises subject to such sublease), exceeds the
Rent payable hereunder with respect to the portion of the Premises
subject to such sublease (or, in the case of an assignment, the entire
Premises). In the case of a sublease, unless otherwise agreed to in
writing by Lessor at the time that it consents to such sublease, the
calculation described in clause (iii) of the immediately preceding

15. CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDING ADDITION. (a) Lessor owns the Adjacent Premises.
The Adjacent Building is currently leased by Lessor to a third party, who,
in turn, has subleased it to Cambridge Bottle and Can. Lessor hereby
represents and warrants to Lessee that the term of the lease currently in
effect with respect to the Adjacent Building expires on June 30, 1999.
Lessor hereby agrees that it shall not extend nor renew the existing lease
of the Adjacent Premises or enter into any other lease or tenancy agreement
relating to the Adjacent Premises until the first to occur of (i) receipt
by Lessor of a written waiver from Lessee of its right to exercise the
Building Addition Option, or (ii) Lessee's failure to exercise the Building
Addition Option in accordance with the requirements of this Paragraph 15.
(b) Provided that:
(i) as of the day on which Lessee gives "Lessee's Exercise Notice"
(as hereinafter defined), (A) no Event of Default is then
continuing and (B) Alkermes, Inc. is actually occupying at least
twenty-five (25%) percent of the Premises; and
(ii) (A) Lessee's net worth as set forth in the 10-Q report most
recently prepared by Lessee immediately prior to the date on
which Lessee gives Lessee's Exercise Notice to Lessor is not less
than Lessee's net worth as set forth
11
<PAGE> 12
in the 10-Q report most recently prepared by Lessee immediately
prior to the date of this Amendment, and (B) the amount of
unrestricted cash or cash equivalents then held by Lessee as of
the date on which Lessee gives Lessee's Exercise Notice, together
with the amount of financing then available to Lessee, exceeds
the amount reasonably estimated by Lessor to be required by
Lessee for (x) operation of Lessee's business for one (1) year as
it is then being operated, plus (y) the costs to be incurred by
Lessee in designing and constructing the Building Addition,
then Lessee (which term shall mean, in connection with the Building
Addition Option, only Alkermes, Inc., and not any sublessee, assignee or
successor of or to Alkermes, Inc.) shall have the right to exercise the
Building Addition Option by giving to Lessor not later than August 15, 2001
written notice of such exercise ("Lessee's Exercise Notice").
If Lessee duly exercises the Building Addition Option in accordance with
the foregoing terms and conditions, then such exercise shall (i) be
irrevocable except as expressly provided in Paragraph 7 of the
Supplementary Work Letter, (ii) constitute the agreement of Lessee to
perform at its sole cost and expense Lessee's Addition Work in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Amendment, and (iii) subject to the
provisions of subparagraph 15(g) below and Paragraph 7 of the Supplementary
Work Letter, require Lessor to perform at its sole cost and expense
Lessor's Addition Work in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Amendment.
(c) If Lessee duly exercises the Building Addition Option, then (i) from
and after such exercise Lessor shall not enter into any further leases or
tenancy agreements relating to the Adjacent Premises, (ii) promptly after
receiving such notice of exercise, Lessor shall (x) terminate any tenancies
or occupancies affecting the Adjacent Premises (if any) and make diligent
efforts to obtain possession of the Adjacent Premises from the tenants and
occupants thereof, and (y) at its sole cost and expense, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Amendment, demolish and remove all structures
on the Adjacent Land down to foundations, and level the surface of the
Adjacent Land such that such demolition and removal is completed within six
(6) months after Lessee's exercise of the Building Addition Option. Lessor
shall
12
<PAGE> 13
notify Lessee when such demolition and site levelling have been completed.
From and after the date on which such work is completed:
(1) Lessee shall be responsible for paying to Lessor, as Additional
Rent, all Taxes (as defined in the Lease) assessed or imposed
upon the Adjacent Land, which payments shall be made in the same
manner and at the same times as Taxes are paid by Lessee pursuant
to Section 6.0 of the Lease; and
(2) Unless and until construction of the Building Addition commences
on the Adjacent Land pursuant to the provisions of this
Amendment, Lessor shall have the right to make any use of the
surface of the Adjacent Land, including, without limitation,
parking of automobiles (and Lessor may, at its sole cost and
expense, pave the surface of all or portions of the Adjacent
Land), but Lessor shall not construct any buildings or structures
on the Adjacent Land. If Lessor does make use of the Adjacent
Land as provided in this subparagraph (2), then for such time as
Lessor continues to make such use of the Adjacent Land Lessor
shall (A) be solely responsible for maintaining any pavement laid
by Lessor on the Adjacent Land and (B) save Lessee harmless and
indemnified from any loss, cost and expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or
relating to a claim of injury to any person or damage to any
property while on the Adjacent Land unless occasioned by any
omission, neglect or default of Lessee or any officer, agent,
employee, servant, contractor or invitee of Lessee or anyone
claiming by, through or under Lessee.
(d) If at any time after Lessee duly exercises the Building Addition
Option, an Event of Default occurs, then in addition to any other rights
and remedies of Lessor hereunder, Lessor shall be entitled to cease the
design or construction of Lessor's Addition Work.
(e) In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 15, the
design and construction of the Building Addition shall be governed by the
provisions of the Supplementary Work Letter.
13
<PAGE> 14
(f) From and after the date on which Lessee exercises the Building Addition
Option, (i) the Adjacent Land shall be deemed to be part of the Land for
all purposes of the Lease (subject to the rights and obligations of Lessor
as set forth in subparagraph 15(c)(2) above), and (ii) all obligations of
Lessee under the Lease with respect to the Land, the Building or the
Premises shall apply equally to the Land and the Building Addition (except
that no Rent shall be due or payable hereunder in connection with the
Building Addition until the Building Addition Rent Commencement Date except

(i) prior to the commencement of design work by Lessor on Lessor's Addition
Work, or (ii) as provided in Paragraph 7 of the Supplementary Work Letter,
to design and perform Lessor's Addition Work at Lessee's sole cost and
expense, in which event (w) "Lessor's Addition Work" shall be deemed to be
part of "Lessee's Addition Work" as that term is used in this Amendment,
(x) "Lessor's Addition Work" shall be deemed to be part of "Lessee's Work"
as that term is used in the Original Lease, (y) Lessor shall have no
obligation to (1) prepare any Working Drawings, (2) perform any work, or
(3) incur any costs in connection with the design or construction of the
Building Addition (other than costs associated with Lessor's review of
Lessee's Working Drawings), and (z) all references in the Supplementary
Work Letter to "Lessee's Addition Work" shall be deemed to include and
refer to "Lessor's Addition Work".
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amendment,
Lessee shall have the right to rescind its exercise of the Building
Addition Option in the circumstances described in Paragraph 7 of the
Supplementary Work Letter. If Lessee so rescinds its exercise of the
Building Addition Option, then effective upon the date of such rescission
(i) the Adjacent Land shall no longer be deemed to be part of the Land
subject to the Lease, and (ii) Lessee shall have no
14
<PAGE> 15
obligation to pay Taxes assessed or imposed upon the Adjacent Land for any
period beyond such effective date.
16. REAL ESTATE BROKER. Lessor and Lessee each represent to the other that they
have dealt with no broker in connection with this First Amendment to Lease
other than the Broker. Lessor shall pay the Broker as part of a separate
agreement. Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and
against any claims for commissions or fees by any person other than the
Broker arising from a breach by Lessee of the foregoing representation.

if Lessor performs Lessor's Addition Work then (i) the amount of the
Additional Security Deposit shall be increased to six (6) months' Basic
Rent on account of the Building Addition and the Adjacent Land, and (ii)
the Additional Security Deposit shall earn interest at the rate of five
(5%) percent per annum.

filings, upon request by Lessee, Lessor shall provide (or shall cause
Lessor's counsel to provide) to Lessee a copy of the Lease, this Amendment,
any other amendments to the Lease hereafter executed, or any other
agreements between Lessee and lessor relating to the Lease, in a
computer-readable electronic format (i.e., on a computer disk in the format
in which such documents were prepared or maintained by Lessor or its
counsel).

preliminary Lessee's Working Drawings to Lessor, and Lessor shall provide
to
20
<PAGE> 21
Lessee within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of a complete set
thereof a list of corrections and modifications which Lessor reasonably
requires to be made to Lessee's Working Drawings. Lessor shall also provide
to Lessee within such 15-business day period a list of those elements of
the Expansion Work which Lessee must remove at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
Lessee shall revise the preliminary Lessee's Working Drawings to
incorporate, to the extent reasonably practical, the corrections and
modifications reasonably required by Lessor and shall submit final Lessee's
Working Drawings to Lessor for its approval. Lessor shall review the final
Lessee's Working Drawings and, within fifteen (15) business days after
receipt of a complete set thereof, Lessor shall either (a) notify Lessee
that Lessor has approved the final Lessee's Working Drawings, or (b)
provide to Lessee a list of corrections and modifications which Lessor
reasonably requires to be made to Lessee's Working Drawings. Lessor shall
also provide to Lessee within such 15-business day period a supplementary
list of those elements of the Expansion Work which Lessee must remove at
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (if any). In the event
Lessor returns Lessee's Working Drawings to Lessee for correction or
modification, Lessee shall diligently correct the Working Drawings to
incorporate, to the extent reasonably practical, the corrections and
modifications reasonably required by Lessor and re-submit them to Lessor
for approval pursuant to the preceding provisions of this paragraph. None
of the Expansion Work shall commence until final Lessee's Working Drawings
have been approved in writing by Lessor.
Lessor's review of Lessee's Working Drawings shall be limited to the impact
of the Expansion Work on the structural components of the Building, the
roof of the Building and the Building systems, and the exterior appearance
of the Building.
5. Working Drawings for the Addition Work.
--------------------------------------
(a) CONCEPT OF BUILDING ADDITION. Lessor and Lessee hereby acknowledge and
agree that it is their mutual intention that the Building Addition be
a two-story building which can be constructed on the Adjacent Land in
conformance with then-applicable Legal Requirements, as the same may
be varied by zoning relief obtainable by Lessor at Lessee's expense,
upon such conditions as are acceptable to Lessor in its reasonable
discretion. Lessor shall provide reasonable cooperation to Lessee in
connection with obtaining such zoning relief, and Lessee
21
<PAGE> 22
shall reimburse Lessor upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Lessor in connection therewith. Lessor and Lessee
shall negotiate in good faith the location and size of the Building
Addition, consistent with the understandings set forth in this
subparagraph, in connection with the commencement of preparation of
preliminary Lessor's Working Drawings and Lessee's Working Drawings
for the Building Addition.
(b) LESSEE'S WORKING DRAWINGS. Lessee shall be solely responsible for the
preparation and completion of all preliminary and final Lessee's
Working Drawings for Lessee's Addition Work. Lessee shall retain its
own architects and engineers to prepare Lessee's Working Drawings,
provided that Lessor first approves such engineers and architects so
selected by Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Lessee shall provide copies of the preliminary Lessee's
Working Drawings to Lessor, and Lessor shall provide to Lessee within
fifteen (15) business days after receipt of a complete set thereof a
list of corrections and modifications which Lessor reasonably requires
to be made to Lessee's Working Drawings. Lessor shall also provide to
Lessee within such 15-business day period a list of those elements of
Lessee's Addition Work which Lessee must remove at the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
Lessee shall revise the preliminary Lessee's Working Drawings to
incorporate, to the extent reasonably practical, the corrections and
modifications reasonably required by Lessor and shall submit final
Lessee's Working Drawings to Lessor for its approval. Lessor shall
review the final Lessee's Working Drawings and, within fifteen (15)
business days after receipt of a complete set thereof, Lessor shall
either (a) notify Lessee that Lessor has approved the final Lessee's
Working Drawings, or (b) provide to Lessee a list of corrections and
modifications which Lessor reasonably requires to be made to Lessee's
Working Drawings. Lessor shall also provide to Lessee within such
15-business day period a supplementary list of those elements of
Lessee's Addition Work which Lessee must remove at the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease (if any). In the event Lessor
returns Lessee's Working Drawings to Lessee for correction or
modification, Lessee shall diligently correct the Working Drawings to
incorporate, to the extent reasonably practical, the corrections and
modifications reasonably required by Lessor and re-submit them to
Lessor for approval pursuant to the preceding provisions of this
paragraph. None of Lessee's Addition Work shall commence until
22
<PAGE> 23
final Lessee's Working Drawings have been approved in writing by
Lessor.
(c) LESSOR'S WORKING DRAWINGS. Lessor shall be solely responsible for the
preparation and completion of all preliminary and final Lessor's
Working Drawings for Lessor's Addition Work. Lessor shall retain its
own architects and engineers to prepare Lessor's Working Drawings.
Within thirty (30) days after Lessor approves the preliminary Lessee's
Working Drawings for Lessee's Addition Work, Lessor shall cause
preliminary Lessor's Working Drawings to be prepared, and upon
completion thereof Lessor shall provide copies of the same to Lessee.
Lessee shall provide to Lessor within fifteen (15) business days
thereafter a list of corrections and modifications which Lessee
reasonably requires to be made to the preliminary Lessor's Working
Drawings by reason of a conflict between such preliminary Working
Drawings and the preliminary Lessee's Working Drawings as approved by
Lessor.
After Lessor has approved final versions of Lessee's Working Drawings
for Lessee's Addition Work, Lessor shall revise the preliminary
Lessor's Working Drawings or Lessor's Addition Work to incorporate, to
the extent reasonably practical, the corrections and modifications
reasonably required by Lessee and to make the same consistent with the
approved final Lessee's Working Drawings. Lessor shall submit final
Lessor's Working Drawings to Lessee for its approval. Lessee shall
review the final Lessor's Working Drawings and, within fifteen (15)
business days after receipt thereof, Lessee shall either (a) notify
Lessor that Lessee has approved the final Lessor's Working Drawings,
or (b) provide to Lessor a list of corrections and modifications which
Lessee reasonably requires to be made to Lessor's Working Drawings by
reason of a conflict between the final approved Lessee's Working
Drawings and such revised Lessor's Working Drawings. In the event
Lessee returns Lessor's Working Drawings to Lessor for such correction
or modification, Lessor shall diligently correct Lessor's Working
Drawings to incorporate, to the extent reasonably practical, the
corrections and modifications reasonably required by Lessee and to
make the same consistent with the approved final Lessee's Working
Drawings, and resubmit them to Lessee for approval pursuant to the
preceding provisions of this paragraph.
23
<PAGE> 24
6. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO WORKING DRAWINGS GENERALLY. The review and/or
approval by Lessor or its architect or engineers of any plans, sketches or
Lessee's Working Drawings submitted by Lessee relating to the Expansion
Work or Lessee's Addition Work, or the review and/or approval by Lessee or
its architect or engineers of any plans, sketches or Lessor's Working
Drawings submitted by Lessor relating to Lessor's Addition Work, shall not
(i) constitute an opinion or representation by the reviewing/approving
party that the same are in compliance with all applicable Legal
Requirements and the provisions of all applicable insurance policies or as
to the feasibility of constructing the work shown thereon, or (ii) impose
on the reviewing/approving party any responsibility for a design defect, it
being agreed that all such responsibility shall remain solely with the
party which submitted such Working Drawings for review and approval.
Each party submitting preliminary Working Drawings to the other for
approval pursuant to this Work Letter shall include with such submittal a
proposed schedule for the commencement and completion (both substantial
completion and final completion) of the work shown thereon. Each party
reviewing Working Drawings shall also, within the time period above
provided for review of Working Drawings, review and approve or suggest
modifications to such proposed schedule. No Expansion Work shall commence
unless and until the parties have reached agreement upon the schedule for
the Expansion Work; no Addition Work shall commence unless and until the
parties have reached agreement upon the schedule for Lessor's Addition Work
and Lessee's Addition Work. The parties shall make good faith efforts to
reach agreement on each other's Working Drawings and on the schedule for
the performance of the work shown thereon.
In the event that Lessor or Lessee fails to respond to the other party
within any of the 15-business day periods set forth in Paragraphs 4 or 5
above, the party submitting the Working Drawings and/or schedule for review
(the "Submitting Party") shall provide written notice to the other party
(the "Reviewing Party") of such Reviewing Party's failure to respond, which
notice shall state that such Reviewing Party's continued failure to respond
to such Working Drawings and/or schedule within ten (10) days of such
Reviewing Party's receipt of such notice shall be deemed to be approval by
the Reviewing Party of the Working Drawings and/or schedule as submitted by
the Submitting Party. In the event that the Reviewing Party fails to
respond in writing to the Working Drawings within such 10-day period, the
Reviewing Party shall be deemed to have approved the Working Drawings
and/or schedule as submitted to it.
24
<PAGE> 25
7. COST OF LESSOR'S ADDITION WORK. Lessor shall also provide to Lessee,
together with Lessor's preliminary Working Drawings for Lessor's Addition
Work, an estimate of the cost to construct Lessor's Addition Work
(supported by bids or take-offs from the preliminary Working Drawings),
broken down into reasonable detail. Lessee shall have twenty (20) days from
its receipt of such cost breakdown to notify Lessor in writing that either
(i) Lessee approves such cost estimate, or (ii) Lessee does not approve
such cost estimate and desires to complete the preparation of Lessor's
Working Drawings and to construct Lessor's Work as provided in Paragraph
15(g) of the Amendment, or (iii) Lessee does not approve such cost estimate
and thereby rescinds its exercise of the Building Addition Option. Lessee
acknowledges that any such cost estimate is an estimate only, and that
Basic Rent on account of the Building Addition shall be based upon the
actual out-of-pocket cost to Lessor of performing Lessor's Addition Work.
If Lessee does not approve such cost estimate and desires to complete the
preparation of Lessor's Working Drawings and to construct Lessor's Work as
provided in Paragraph 15(g) of the Amendment, then Lessee shall pay to
Lessor, within thirty (30) days of demand therefor, as Additional Rent, all
out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lessor (i) in connection with preparing the
Working Drawings for Lessor's Addition Work prior to Lessor's receipt of
such notice from Lessee, or (ii) in terminating any contracts theretofore
entered into by Lessor in connection with the preparation of Lessor's
Working Drawings for Lessor's Addition Work or for the construction
thereof.
If Lessee rescinds its exercise of the Building Addition Option, then the
Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Lessee had given
Lessee's Notice of Exercise and not exercised the Building Addition Option,
except that:
(i) Lessee shall pay to Lessor, within thirty (30) days of demand
therefor, as Additional Rent, all out-of-pocket costs incurred by
Lessor (A) in demolishing the Adjacent Building and levelling the
Adjacent Land, (B) in preparing the Working Drawings for Lessor's
Addition Work, or (C) in terminating any contracts theretofore entered
into by Lessor in connection with the preparation of Lessor's Working
Drawings for Lessor's Addition Work or for the construction thereof;
and
(ii) Lessee shall have waived any further right to exercise the Building
Addition Option.
25
<PAGE> 26
If Lessee does not respond to such cost breakdown within such 20-day
period, Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of its failure to respond,
which notice shall state that Lessee's continued failure to respond to such
cost breakdown within ten (10) days of Lessee's receipt of such notice
shall be deemed to be approval of such cost breakdown by Lessee, and if
Lessee thereafter fails to respond in writing to such cost breakdown within
such 10- day period, Lessee shall be deemed to have approved such cost
breakdown as submitted to it. In no event shall Lessor be required to
prepare final Working Drawings for Lessor's Addition Work, or to perform
any of Lessor's Addition Work, unless and until Lessee has approved the
estimated cost of Lessor's Addition Work (or is deemed, pursuant to the
provisions of this Paragraph 7, to have approved such estimated cost).
8. EXPANSION WORK AND LESSEE'S ADDITION WORK. Lessee shall be solely
responsible for obtaining all Construction Authorizations required for the
Expansion Work or Lessee's Addition Work. Lessor shall provide reasonable
cooperation to Lessee in making and prosecuting applications for such
Construction Authorizations, but Lessor shall not be required to incur any
cost or expense in so doing. Lessee shall apply for and maintain in full
force and effect (or cause Lessee's General Contractor to apply for and so
maintain) all Construction Authorizations required for the construction of
the Expansion Work or Lessee's Addition Work, and upon completion of the
Expansion Work or Lessee's Addition Work (as the case may be), shall obtain
a certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building Addition (as
the case may be) from the appropriate governmental authority. Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor a copy of said certificate of occupancy promptly after
receiving the same.
Lessee shall obtain from Lessee's General Contractor (or, if no general
contractor is retained, from each trade contractor) a guaranty against
construction defects for a period of not less than one (1) year.
Promptly after receiving all Construction Authorizations required for the
Expansion Work or Lessee's Addition Work (as the case may be), Lessee shall
cause Lessee's General Contractor to commence construction and diligently
to proceed to completion thereof. All construction shall be performed in a
good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and in compliance with the
approved Lessee's Working Drawings, the Construction Authorizations, all
Legal Requirements, and the provisions of all applicable insurance
policies.
26
<PAGE> 27
Lessee shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses of all
architects, engineers and other consultants, and contractors,
subcontractors and suppliers retained or employed (directly or indirectly)
by Lessee in connection with the design or construction of the Expansion
Work or Lessee's Addition Work. Lessee shall pay promptly for all labor and
materials supplied to Lessee in connection with the Expansion Work or
Lessee's Addition Work, shall not cause or permit any liens for such labor
or materials to attach to the Land, the Building, the Adjacent Land or the
Building Addition, and shall bond or discharge any such lien which may be
filed or recorded within thirty (30) days after Lessee receives notice of
such filing or recording.
Lessor shall have no obligation to make any payment on account of the cost
of preparing Lessee's Working Drawings or the construction of the Expansion
Work or Lessee's Addition Work.
The performance of the Expansion Work or Lessee's Addition Work (as the
case may be) shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section
12.0(f) of the Lease. Lessor may inspect such work at any time or times and
shall promptly give written notice to Lessee of any observed defects.
Lessee shall promptly correct all such defective work at its sole cost and
expense. In the event that at any time during construction of the Expansion
Work or Lessee's Addition Work Lessee fails so to correct promptly any
defective work, Lessor shall give an additional written notice to Lessee
which notice shall state that if Lessee does not correct such defective
work within ten (10) days of its receipt of such notice (or, if such
defective work cannot reasonably be corrected within such 10-day period, if
Lessee does not commence the correction of such defective work within such
10-day period and continue such correction diligently to completion
thereafter), then, in addition to any other remedies which Lessor may have
under the Lease or at law or in equity for such default, Lessor may correct
such work. If Lessor thereafter corrects such defective work in accordance
with the provisions of this Paragraph, Lessor shall provide to Lessee
reasonable supporting documentation of the actual out-of-pocket costs
incurred by Lessor in correcting such defective work and the provisions of
Paragraph 16(b) below shall apply.
9. LESSOR'S ADDITION WORK. Lessor shall be solely responsible for obtaining
all Construction Authorizations required for Lessor's Addition Work.
Promptly after receiving all Construction Authorizations required for
Lessor's Addition Work, Lessor shall commence construction and diligently
proceed to completion thereof. All construction shall be performed in a
good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and in compliance with the
27
<PAGE> 28
approved Lessor's Working Drawings, the Construction Authorizations, all
Legal Requirements, and the provisions of all applicable insurance
policies. Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the cost of
Lessor's Addition Work.
Lessor shall obtain from its general contractor (or, if no general
contractor is retained, from each trade contractor) a guaranty against
construction defects for a period of not less than one (1) year.
Lessee may inspect such work at any time or times and shall promptly give
written notice to Lessor of any observed defects. Lessor shall promptly
correct all such defective work at its sole cost and expense. In the event
that at any time during construction of Lessor's Addition Work Lessor fails
so to correct promptly any defective work, Lessee shall give an additional
written notice to Lessor which notice shall state that if Lessor does not
correct such defective work within ten (10) days of its receipt of such
notice (or, if such defective work cannot reasonably be corrected within
such 10- day period, if Lessor does not commence the correction of such
defective work within such 10-day period and continue such correction
diligently to completion thereafter), Lessee may correct such work. If
Lessee thereafter corrects such defective work in accordance with the
provisions of this Paragraph, Lessee shall provide to Lessor reasonable
supporting documentation of the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by
Lessee in correcting such defective work and the provisions of Paragraph
16(a) below shall apply.
10. Substantial Completion; Building Addition Rent Commencement Date.
----------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that portions of Lessor's Addition Work
will be proceeding concurrently with Lessee's Addition Work. Each party
shall make diligent efforts to complete in a timely manner those portions
of its respective work which must be completed before the other party can
perform its work in that area.
(b) The Building Addition Rent Commencement Date shall be the first to
occur of:
(i) the day on which Lessor's and Lessee's architects jointly
reasonably determine that the Building Addition has been
"substantially completed", meaning that Lessor's Addition Work
and Lessee's Addition Work have been completed, except for items
of work which are not necessary to make the Building
28
<PAGE> 29
Addition reasonably usable for the Permitted Uses and which,
because of season or weather or nature of the item, cannot
practicably be done at that time;
(ii) the date on which Lessee first occupies the Building Addition or
any portion thereof for the Permitted Uses; or
(iii) the date on which Lessor's and Lessee's architects jointly
reasonably determine that the Building Addition would have been
substantially completed but for Lessee's Delay.
11. Delays.
------
(a) LESSOR'S DELAY. If the substantial completion of Lessee's Addition Work
is delayed by:
(i) the failure of Lessor to substantially complete those portions of
Lessor's Addition Work which must be substantially completed in
order for construction of Lessee's Addition Work to proceed in a
timely manner, which failure is caused by the delay of Lessor,
Lessor's employees or agents, or Lessor's architects or
engineers, or Lessor's general contractor or any subcontractor or
supplier thereof (but specifically excluding any delay caused by
Lessee, Lessee's architects or engineers, Lessee's General
Contractor, or any subcontractor or supplier thereof or any delay
caused by an event of Force Majeure (as defined in Section 24.0
of the Lease)), then the Building Addition Rent Commencement
Date shall be delayed beyond the date set forth in the schedule
approved pursuant to Paragraph 5 above by the number of days of
actual delay in the substantial completion of Lessee's Addition
Work caused by such failure on the part of Lessor (as reasonably
determined by Lessor's architect), PROVIDED, HOWEVER that in the
event of the occurrence of any such act or omission which Lessee
believes is delaying the performance by Lessee's General
Contractor or any subcontractor thereof, Lessee shall give notice
thereof to Lessor within ten (10) days of Lessee's acquiring
actual knowledge of such act or omission, which notice shall be a
condition precedent to such act or omission being deemed a basis
for an extension of the Building Addition Rent Commencement Date
under this clause (i); or
29
<PAGE> 30
(ii) the failure of Lessor to respond to preliminary Working Drawings
or final Working Drawings submitted by Lessee within the
15-business day period for such response as set forth in
Paragraph 5 of this Work Letter, then the Building Addition Rent
Commencement Date shall be delayed beyond the date set forth in
the schedule approved pursuant to Paragraph 5 above by one day
for each day such response is delayed beyond such 15-business day
period.
(b) LESSEE'S DELAY. If the substantial completion of Lessee's Addition Work
is delayed by any cause other than (i) a Lessor's Delay as defined above,
or (ii) an event of Force Majeure (as defined in Section 24.0 of the Lease)
(a "Lessee's Delay"), such delay shall have no effect on the Building
Addition Rent Commencement Date and the Building Addition Rent Commencement
Date shall be the date on which Lessor's architect reasonably determines
that the Building Addition would have been substantially completed but for
such Lessee's Delay.
(c) FORCE MAJEURE. In the event that either Lessee or Lessor is delayed in
the performance of any of its obligations hereunder by the occurrence of an
event of Force Majeure, then the Building Addition Rent Commencement Date
shall be extended one day for each day such event of Force Majeure
continues.
12. COSTS OF WORK. In connection with any Expansion Work, Lessor's Addition
Work or Lessee's Addition Work performed pursuant to this Supplementary
Work Letter:
(a) the party performing such work shall provide reasonably detailed
information to the other party on a periodic basis concerning the
actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses being incurred in connection
with the design and performance of such work, together with, upon
request, reasonable supporting documentation, and
(b) within a reasonable time after completion of such work, the party
performing such work shall provide to the other party a final
statement of the total actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the design and performance of such work,
in reasonable detail, and shall further provide, upon request,
reasonable supporting documentation therefor to the extent not
previously provided to the requesting party pursuant to the preceding
subparagraph (a).
30
<PAGE> 31
13. LESSEE'S ACCESS TO THE PREMISES. Lessee and Lessee's architects, engineers,
Lessee's General Contractor, its subcontractors and suppliers may, at
Lessee's sole risk, enter upon the Expansion Premises (and in the case of
Lessee's Addition Work, upon the Adjacent Land and the Building Addition)
for the limited purpose of constructing the Expansion Work or Lessee's
Addition Work (as the case may be) PROVIDED that such persons work in
harmony with Lessor and Lessor's general contractor, its subcontractors and
suppliers. If at any time such entry shall cause or threaten to cause
disharmony or otherwise interfere with the orderly completion or operation
of the Building or the Building Addition, Lessor shall have the right upon
twenty-four (24) hours' written notice to Lessee to withdraw the consent to
such entry given in this Paragraph. Any such entry onto the Land, the
Building, the Premises, the Adjacent Land or the Building Addition shall be
deemed to be under all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions
of this Lease. Lessor shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss
or damage which may occur to any of Lessee's work and installations made in
the Building or the Building Addition or to properties placed therein
during construction of the Expansion Work or Lessee's Addition Work, the
same being at Lessee's sole risk, EXCEPT that the foregoing shall not apply
to any injury, loss or damage caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Lessor or its officers, agents, employees, servants or
contractors.
14. LESSOR'S AND LESSEE'S REPRESENTATIVES. Prior to the commencement of any
design work for each of the Expansion Work or the Addition Work, each party
hereto shall designate in writing to the other a person as "Lessor's
Representative" and "Lessee's Representative" respectively, which person
shall be available during ordinary business hours to review the progress of
the work and to respond to issues which arise during construction. Each
party may rely on the other's Representative with respect to all matters
which pertain to this Work Letter, each party having authorized its
Representative to make decisions binding upon such party with respect to
such matters.
15. Completion of Lessor's Addition Work and Acceptance by Lessee.
-------------------------------------------------------------
(a) A punchlist of incomplete or defective items of Lessor's Addition Work
shall be developed by Lessee and Lessor within fifteen (15) days after
Lessor's Addition Work is "substantially completed" (as defined in
Paragraph 10(b) of this Work Letter) by means of a joint inspection of
the Building Addition by Lessor and Lessee or their respective
architects or designees. Lessor shall complete all punchlist work as
soon as practicable.
31
<PAGE> 32
(b) Lessor's Addition Work shall be deemed to be accepted by Lessee except
for such items as are specified either (a) in the punchlist described
in the preceding subparagraph or (b) in a written notice given by
Lessee to Lessor not later than thirty (30) days after the earlier of
(i) the date on which Lessor notifies Lessee that Lessor's Addition
Work is complete or (ii) the date on which Lessee first occupies any
portion of the Building Addition to conduct its business therein,
except for defects which are not reasonably discoverable during such
30-day period. Lessor shall correct the items set forth in such notice
as soon as practicable.
(c) In the event that Lessor fails to correct any item specified in the
punchlist or in such a written notice delivered by Lessee to Lessor
within the time period specified in the preceding subparagraphs of
this Paragraph 15, then Lessee may correct such work. If Lessee
thereafter corrects such item in accordance with the provisions of
this Paragraph, Lessee shall provide to Lessor reasonable supporting
documentation of the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lessee in
correcting such defective work and the provisions of Paragraph 16(a)
below shall apply.
16. Costs Incurred in Correcting or Completing Other Party's Work.
-------------------------------------------------------------
(a) All actual out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Lessee in
correcting or completing any of Lessor's Addition Work as performed by
Lessor shall be deducted from the cost of Lessor's Addition Work for
purposes of calculating Basic Rent for the Building Addition pursuant to
Section 4.1(a)(ii) of the Lease.
(b) All actual out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Lessor in
correcting or completing any item of the Expansion Work or Lessee's
Addition Work shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor, as Additional Rent, within
thirty (30) days of written demand therefor by Lessor.
17. GENERAL. A breach by Lessee of any provision of this Work Letter shall
constitute a default under the Lease, for which Lessor shall have all
remedies therein provided.

Exhibit 10.22(b)
SECOND AMENDMENT
to the Development Agreement by and between Janssen Pharmaceutica International,
a division of Cilag International AG, having its place of business in CH-6300
Zug, Switzerland ("JANSSEN") and Medisorb Technologies International, a Delaware
limited partnership ("Medisorb"), which agreement has in the meantime been duly
assigned from Medisorb to Alkermes Controlled Therapeutics Inc. II, 64 Sidney
Street, Cambridge, MA 02139-4136, U.S.A. ("ACT II") by a deed of assignment
dated March 1, 1996.
WHEREAS, JANSSEN and ACT II desire to amend certain terms of the
Development Agreement with respect to the continuation, management and further
funding of the Development Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree to amend the Development Agreement as
follows:
1. In connection with Section 3 A., the Parties will undertake the
development activities set forth in the Development Plan attached to
this Amendment as Exhibit 1. Such activities will be undertaken in
accordance with the time and event schedule specified in the
Development Plan with a view to finalize the IRF within the timeframe
provided for in Section 4 A. of the Development Agreement. The
<PAGE> 2
Development Plan attached hereto cancels and supersedes the initial
Development Program referred to in Section 3A of the Development
Agreement.
2. Section 3 B. is hereby amended and replaced by the following:
The development activities to be undertaken hereunder will be
coordinated by a development team comprised of representatives of
JANSSEN or JANSSEN's Affiliates and ACT II (hereinafter "The
Development Team"). The Development Team will monitor and coordinate
all scaling up efforts in the preparation of the commercial
manufacturing process of the Product and all regulatory support
efforts in the preparation of the IRF and the subsequent regulatory
filings with national Health Authorities.
In the event that the Parties would consider additional activities to
be undertaken during the Development Program, such activities will be
discussed at the level of the Development Team, and, if such
activities are to be added to the Development Plan, a related budget
will be agreed
2
<PAGE> 3
by the Parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 D.
The Development team will meet at regular intervals as agreed by both
parties or upon the specific request of JANSSEN and at such locations
as JANSSEN shall determine, or, at the option of either party, through
video or telephone conferences. The Development Team shall endeavor to
resolve all matters by consensus, each party having one vote. If the
Development Team cannot reach an unanimous decision on any matter,
such matter shall be resolved based on and consistent with JANSSEN's
decision, it being understood that JANSSEN can not unilaterally change
the terms of this Agreement or the Budget related to the Development
Plan or decide that ACT II has to substantially increase its support
in addition to the efforts already committed by ACT II in accordance
with the current Development Plan.
3. Section 3 C. is hereby amended and replaced by the following:
ACT II will use reasonable efforts to comply with its commitments
under the Development Plan and
3
<PAGE> 4
will dedicate sufficient staff with sufficient skills to support its
efforts. ACT II will provide JANSSEN and JANSSEN's Affiliates
represented in the Development Team with a monthly written report
specifying the activities undertaken by it under the Development Plan.
ACT II will also create detailed descriptions of any methodology,
development formulation or processes related to development of Product
in order to enable JANSSEN to prepare and file any regulatory approval
and to assist in meetings with the regulatory authorities and to
enable JANSSEN and/or ACT II as the case may be, to prepare and start
up the commercial manufacturing process and the decision process
related thereto.
4. Section 3 D. is hereby amended and replaced by the following:
The parties have agreed on a budget in connection with the activities
to be undertaken by ACT II hereunder and such budget forms part of the
Development Plan (hereinafter "The Budget").
4
<PAGE> 5
The Budget includes all the estimated costs to be reimbursed by
JANSSEN to ACT II under the Development Plan, including the clinical
trial supplies up to and including Phase III clinical trials. In April
of each calendar year the Budget will be adjusted to the FTE (Full
Time Equivalent) rate for the next following Alkermes (being ACT II's
parent) fiscal year. Such FTE rate will be calculated by dividing the
total expenses of Alkermes (being ACT II's parent) by the number of
direct personnel. This personnel excludes G&A, finance, legal and
human resources. Prior to implementing such new FTE rate, JANSSEN and
ACT II will discuss the impact on the Budget of such new FTE-rate.
In the event that as a result of additional activities to be
undertaken by ACT II, the Budget would have to be revised, the parties
will agree on such revision prior to ACT II starting any such
activities.
The Budget provides for the purchase of the capital items specified in
Exhibit 2 attached hereto dedicated to the development of the Product
for a total amount 1,860,000 USD. Such capital
5
<PAGE> 6
items will be paid for by JANSSEN or its designee and ownership will
reside with JANSSEN or the designee who paid for such capital items.
Such capital items will be used by ACT II in its premises solely in
relation to the development and manufacture of Product as provided for
in the Development Plan and shall only be acquired after consultation
and approval of JANSSEN. ACT II will be responsible for the
maintenance of such capital items. All other capital items required by
ACT II to perform the activities provided for in the Development Plan
will be ACT II's obligation and responsibility.
Upon termination of the Development Agreement for any reason
whatsoever, the capital items paid for by JANSSEN or its designee will
be transferred to JANSSEN or its designee, at JANSSEN's cost.
ACT II will invoice JANSSEN on a monthly basis for the activities
undertaken by it during the previous month. Together with such
invoice, ACT II will send the monthly report detailing the efforts
expended under the Development Plan during such month. JANSSEN will
pay ACT II within thirty
6
<PAGE> 7
(30) days following receipt of the invoice and the related report.
This Second Amendment is deemed to be effective as from March 8, 1996.
Since both JANSSEN and Janssen Pharmaceutica Inc., 1125
Trenton-Harbourton Road, Titusville, NJ 08560, U.S.A., have exercised
the option to enter into a License Agreement provided for in Section
6(A) of the Development Agreement, as duly amend by the First
Amendment, Janssen Pharmaceutica Inc. will co-sign this Second
Amendment, to indicate its agreement with the terms thereof.

("Alkermes"), Alkermes Controlled Therapeutics, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation
("ACT I"), Alkermes Controlled Therapeutics Inc. II, a Pennsylvania corporation

Term Note are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Financing Documents".
A copy of the form of the 1997 Term Note is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
2. 1997 TERM LOAN. (a) MAKING OF 1997 TERM LOAN. At the date hereof, the
Bank is making a loan (the "1997 Term Loan") to the Borrowers in the principal
amount of $2,500,000. The 1997
<PAGE> 2
Term Loan is being made in order to finance costs of Qualifying Equipment
acquired by any Borrower after January 1, 1996 (excluding Ohio Loan Collateral,
as defined in the Security Agreement). The 1997 Term Loan does not exceed 100%
of the invoiced actual costs of the tangible property constituting the items of
Qualifying Equipment with respect to which the 1997 Term Loan is made (excluding
taxes, shipping, software, installation charges, training fees and other "soft
costs"). In connection with the making of the 1997 Term Loan, and as a
precondition thereto, the Borrowers are providing the Bank with: (i) invoices
supporting the costs of the relevant Qualifying Equipment; (ii) such evidence as
the Bank may reasonably request showing that each item of Qualifying Equipment
has been delivered to and installed at Alkermes' or ACT I's premises in
Cambridge, MA (in the case of Qualifying Equipment owned by Alkermes or ACT I)
or ACT II's premises in Clinton County, Ohio and Hamilton County, Ohio (in the
case of Qualifying Equipment owned by ACT II), has become fully operational, has
been paid for by the relevant Borrower and is owned by the relevant Borrower
free of all liens and interests of any other person or entity (other than the
security interest of the Bank pursuant to the Security Agreement); (iii)
executed Uniform Commercial Code financing statements reflecting the items of
Qualifying Equipment with respect to which the 1997 Term Loan is being made and
an appropriate supplement to the Security Agreement reflecting such items; and
(iv) evidence satisfactory to the Bank that the Qualifying Equipment is fully
insured against casualty loss, with insurance naming the Bank as secured party
and first loss payee. As used herein, "Qualifying Equipment" means equipment
purchased by the Borrowers after January 1, 1996 (excluding Ohio Loan
Collateral, as defined in the Security Agreement) for use in the Borrowers'
business which meets all of the following criteria: (i) such equipment consists
of one of the items shown on the Equipment List heretofore delivered by the
Borrowers to the Bank or has otherwise been approved by the Bank for use in
supporting the 1997 Term Loan, (ii) each item of such equipment has been
delivered to and installed at Alkermes' or ACT I's premises in Cambridge, MA (in
the case of Qualifying Equipment owned by Alkermes or ACT I) or ACT II's
premises in Clinton County, Ohio or Hamilton County, Ohio (in the case of
Qualifying Equipment owned by ACT II) and has become fully operational, (iii)
the relevant Borrower has paid in full for each item of such equipment and holds
title to same, free of all interests and claims of any other person or entity
(other than the security interest of the Bank), and (iv) the Bank has a fully
perfected first security interest in such equipment. The 1997 Term Loan is
evidenced by the 1997 Term Note. Interest on the 1997 Term Loan
2
<PAGE> 3
shall be payable at the times and at the rate provided for in the 1997 Term
Note. Overdue principal of the 1997 Term Loan and, to the extent permitted by
law, overdue interest shall bear interest at a rate per annum which at all times
shall be equal to the sum of (i) two (2%) percent per annum plus (ii) the per
annum rate otherwise payable under the 1997 Term Note (but in no event in excess
of the maximum rate from time to time permitted by then applicable law),
compounded monthly and payable on demand. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Bank to make or cause to be made, on a schedule attached to the
1997 Term Note or on the books of the Bank, at or following the time of
receiving any payment of principal of the 1997 Term Loan, an appropriate
notation reflecting such transaction and the then unpaid principal balance of
the 1997 Term Loan. The amount so noted shall constitute presumptive evidence as
to the amount owed jointly and severally by the Borrowers with respect to
principal of the 1997 Term Loan. Failure of the Bank to make any such notation
shall not, however, affect any obligation of any Borrower or any right of the
Bank hereunder or under the 1997 Term Note. The 1997 Term Loan is made jointly
to the Borrowers and repayment thereof is the joint and several obligation of
the Borrowers.
(b) REPAYMENT OF 1997 TERM LOAN. The Borrowers shall repay (and shall be
jointly and severally obligated to repay) principal of the 1997 Term Loan in 60
equal consecutive monthly installments, commencing on July 1, 1997 and
continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter. Each such monthly
installment of principal paid with respect to the 1997 Term Loan shall be in an
amount equal to 1/60th of the original principal amount of the 1997 Term Loan.
In any event, the then outstanding principal balance of the 1997 Term Loan and
all interest then accrued but unpaid thereon shall be due and payable in full on
June 3, 2002. The Borrowers may prepay, at any time or from time to time, the
whole or any portion of the 1997 Term Loan; provided that each such principal
prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of all interest under the 1997 Term
Note accrued but unpaid to the date of payment; and further provided that at the
time of each such prepayment the Borrowers pay to the Bank the Make-Whole
Amount, if any, required by the second paragraph of Section 1.6 of the Letter
Agreement in respect of such prepayment. Any partial prepayment of principal of
the 1997 Term Loan will be applied to installments of principal of the 1997 Term
Loan thereafter coming due in inverse order of normal maturity.
3
<PAGE> 4
(c) FACILITY FEES. With respect to the 1997 Term Loan, the Borrowers are
paying to the Bank, at the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, a
non-refundable facility fee in the amount of $12,500. The fee described in this
paragraph is in addition to any balances and fees required by the Bank or any of
its affiliates in connection with any other services now or hereafter made
available to Alkermes and/or any of its affiliates.
3. CONCERNING THE LETTER AGREEMENT. The parties agree as follows with
respect to the Letter Agreement:
a. That the 1997 Term Loan constitutes an "Additional Term Loan" as defined
in Section 1.5 of the Letter Agreement and is thus included within the
definitions of "Term Loan" and "Term Loans" for all purposes of the Letter
Agreement.
b. That the 1997 Term Note constitutes an "Additional Term Note" as defined
in Section 1.5 of the Letter Agreement and is thus included within the
definitions of "Note" and "Notes" for all purposes of the Letter Agreement.
Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 3b and of
paragraph 3a above, the Borrowers acknowledge that the provisions of the Letter
Agreement as to payment and collection of amounts owed thereunder (including,
without limitation, Sections 1.7, 5.2 and 5.3 of the Letter Agreement) and as to
costs, expenses and charges (including, without limitation, Sections 6.1 and 6.2
of the Letter Agreement) apply to the 1997 Term Loan and to the 1997 Term Note.
c. That the 1997 Term Loan is an "Additional Term Loan which bears interest
at a fixed rate" for the purposes of the second paragraph of Section 1.6 of the

4. CONCERNING THE SECURITY AGREEMENT. The parties agree as follows with
respect to the Security Agreement:
a. That the 1997 Term Loan constitutes an "Additional Term Loan" for the

4
<PAGE> 5
hereby, to the "1997 Term Loan" will be deemed to refer to the 1997 Term Loan,
as hereinabove defined.
b. That the 1997 Term Note constitutes an "Additional Term Note" for the
purposes of the Security Agreement and is thus included within the definition of
"Loan Documents" appearing in Section 1 of the Security Agreement.
c. That the items listed on Exhibit 2 attached hereto are deemed to be

e. That Section 17 of the Security Agreement is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:
"17. PARTIAL RELEASE. The Secured Party agrees that, upon the satisfaction
of the Partial Release Conditions (hereinafter defined) in relation to the
1994 Term Loan, the 1995 Term Loan, the Ohio Term Loan or the 1997 Term
Loan, the Secured Party will, at the Debtors' request, execute and deliver
to the Debtors a release of the 1994 Loan Collateral or the 1995 Loan
Collateral or the Ohio Loan Collateral or the 1997 Loan Collateral (as
appropriate) from the lien of this Security Agreement (including
appropriate releases on Form UCC- 3) and, upon execution and delivery of
such release, the 1994 Loan Collateral, the 1995 Loan Collateral, the Ohio
Loan Collateral or the 1997 Loan Collateral (as the case may be) will no
longer be deemed 'Collateral' subject to this Security Agreement. As used
herein, the 'Partial Release Conditions' will be deemed satisfied only if
ALL of the following shall have occurred: (i) the 1994 Term Loan or the
1995 Term Loan or the Ohio Term Loan or the 1997 Term Loan (as the case may
be) shall have been paid in full, (ii) the cash and/or readily-marketable
Government Securities pledged to the Secured Party under Section 1.8 of the
Letter Agreement shall have an aggregate fair market
5
<PAGE> 6
value of not less than the 'Required Minimum Value' (as defined in the
Letter Agreement) and Alkermes shall agree to maintain such pledged cash
and/or readily-marketable Government Securities in such amount so that the
fair market value thereof shall never be less than such 'Required Minimum
Value' and (iii) there shall then exist no Event of Default nor any event
or circumstance which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both, could become an Event of Default. At the time of the making of any
Additional Term Loan, the Bank and the Debtors may, by written modification
to this Security Agreement, set forth the circumstances, if any, under
which a partial release may be obtained with respect to the Additional Loan
Collateral pledged in connection with the relevant Additional Term Loan."
5. CONCERNING THE PLEDGE. The parties agree as follows with respect to the
Pledge:
a. That the 1997 Term Note constitutes an "Additional Term Note" as
described in Section 2 of the Pledge, with the result that the 1997 Term Note is
included within the "Loan Documents" as defined in Section 2 of the Pledge.
b. That the 1997 Term Loan is included within the "Secured Obligations" as
defined in Section 2 of the Pledge.
6. CONCERNING THE OHIO MORTGAGE. The parties agree that the 1997 Term Note
constitutes one of the "Other Term Notes" described in the WITNESSETH clause of
the Ohio Mortgage, with the result that the 1997 Term Loan is among the
obligations secured by the Ohio Mortgage.
7. AMENDED DOCUMENTS. Wherever in any Financing Document, or in any
certificate or opinion to be delivered in connection therewith, reference is
made to the Letter Agreement, to the Security Agreement, to the Pledge and/or to
the Ohio Mortgage, from and after the date hereof same will be deemed to refer
to the relevant Financing Document as amended or otherwise affected hereby.
8. REPRESENTATIONS. In order to induce the Bank to enter into this
Agreement, each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
a. The execution, delivery and performance of each of this Agreement and
the 1997 Term Note have been duly authorized by
6
<PAGE> 7
each Borrower by all necessary corporate and other action, will not require the
consent of any third party and will not conflict with, violate the provisions
of, or cause a default or constitute an event which, with the passage of time or
the giving of notice or both, could cause a default on the part of any Borrower
under its charter documents or by-laws or under any contract, agreement, law,
rule, order, ordinance, franchise, instrument or other document, or result in
the imposition of any lien or encumbrance (except in favor of the Bank) on any
property or assets of any Borrower.
b. Each Borrower has duly executed and delivered each of this Agreement and
the 1997 Term Note.
c. Each of this Agreement and the 1997 Term Note is the legal, valid and
binding joint and several obligation of each Borrower, enforceable against each
Borrower jointly and severally in accordance with its respective terms.
d. The statements, representations and warranties made in the Letter
Agreement, in the Security Agreement and/or in the other Financing Documents
continue to be correct as of the date hereof; except as amended, updated and/or
supplemented by the attached Supplemental Disclosure Schedule.
e. The covenants and agreements of the Borrowers contained in the Letter
Agreement, in the Security Agreement and/or in the other Financing Documents
have been complied with on and as of the date hereof.
f. No event which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time, or
both, could constitute, an Event of Default (as defined in the Letter Agreement)
has occurred and is continuing.
g. No material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of
any Borrower from that disclosed in the financial statements of Alkermes dated
December 31, 1996, heretofore furnished to the Bank.
9. FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. Except as expressly affected hereby, the Letter
Agreement and each of the other Financing Documents remains in full force and
effect as heretofore.
10. NO WAIVER. Nothing contained herein will be deemed to constitute a
waiver or a release of any provision of any of the Financing Documents. Nothing
contained herein will in any event be deemed to constitute an agreement to give
a waiver or release
7
<PAGE> 8
or to agree to any amendment or modification of any provision of any of the
Financing Documents on any other or future occasion.
Executed, as an instrument under seal, as of the day and year first above

PROXY STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Alkermes,
Inc. ("Alkermes" or the "Company") in connection with its 1997 annual meeting of
shareholders to be held at the offices of the Company, 64 Sidney Street,
Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, at 10:00 a.m., on July 25, 1997 (the "Meeting").
Copies of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being mailed on or
after June 27, 1997 to the holders of record of Common Stock on June 6, 1997
(the "Record Date"). The proxy may be revoked by a shareholder at any time prior
to its use by giving notice of such revocation to the Secretary of the Company,
by appearing at the Meeting and voting in person or by returning a later dated
proxy. The expense of this solicitation will be paid by the Company. Some of the
officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally and
by telephone.
Unless specific instructions are given to the contrary, the persons named
in the accompanying proxy will vote FOR the election to the Company's Board of
Directors of the nominees named herein and FOR approval of the amendment to
increase the number of shares available under the 1990 Amended and Restated
Omnibus Stock Option Plan. With respect to all other matters, the persons named
in the accompanying proxy will vote as stated herein. See "Other Business."
Holders of Common Stock of record at the close of business on the Record
Date will be entitled to cast one vote per share so held of record on such date
on all items of business properly presented at the Meeting, except that the
holders have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Therefore,
each shareholder is entitled to cast as many votes in the election of directors
as shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock held by such
shareholder on the Record Date, multiplied by the number of directors to be
elected. A shareholder may cast all such votes for a single nominee or may
distribute votes among nominees as the shareholder sees fit.
The Company had 20,765,518 shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record
Date. The presence at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, of shareholders
entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all shareholders are
entitled to cast on a particular matter will constitute a quorum for the
purposes of consideration and action on such matter.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Eight directors are to be elected at the Meeting to serve one-year terms
until the 1998 annual meeting of shareholders and until their respective
successors are elected and shall qualify. The persons named in the accompanying
proxy intend to vote for the election of Floyd E. Bloom, Robert A. Breyer, John
K. Clarke, Robert S. Langer, Richard F. Pops, Alexander Rich, Paul Schimmel and
Michael A. Wall, unless authority to vote for one or more of such nominees is
specifically withheld in the proxy. All of the nominees are currently directors
of the Company. The persons named in the proxy will have the right to vote
cumulatively and to distribute their votes among such nominees as they consider
<PAGE> 4
advisable. The Board of Directors is informed that all the nominees are willing
to serve as directors, but if any of them should decline to serve or become
unavailable for election at the Meeting, an event which the Board of Directors
does not anticipate, the persons named in the proxy will vote for such nominee
or nominees as may be designated by the Board of Directors, unless the Board of
Directors reduces the number of directors accordingly.
The eight nominees for director receiving the highest number of votes cast
by shareholders entitled to vote thereon will be elected to serve on the Board
of Directors. Votes that are withheld will be counted in determining the
presence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the vote.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED
1990 OMNIBUS STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company's Amended and Restated 1990 Omnibus Stock Option Plan (the
"Omnibus Plan") currently authorizes the issuance of options to purchase up to
1,750,000 shares of Common Stock. In June 1997, the Board amended the Omnibus
Plan, subject to shareholder approval, to increase the aggregate number of
shares authorized for issuance upon exercise of options granted under the
Omnibus Plan to 2,500,000. This amendment was designed to enhance the
flexibility of the Compensation Committee and the Compensation Sub-Committee of
the Board in granting stock options and limited stock appreciation rights to the
Company's employees, officers and consultants and to ensure that the Company can
continue to grant stock options to such persons at levels determined to be
appropriate by the Compensation Committee and the Compensation Sub-Committee.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders
entitled to vote will be required to approve the proposed amendment to the
Omnibus Plan. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining
the presence of a quorum for purposes of this proposal, but will not be counted
as votes cast. Broker non-votes (shares held by a broker or nominee as to which
the broker or nominee does not have the authority to vote on a particular
matter) will not be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence
of a quorum for purposes of this proposal and will not be voted. Accordingly,
neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will have any effect on the outcome of
the vote on this proposal.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the
amendment to the Omnibus Plan.
DESCRIPTION OF THE OMNIBUS PLAN
The Omnibus Plan provides for the grant to employees, officers and
directors of, and consultants to, the Company and its subsidiaries of options to
purchase up to 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock. The proposed amendment, which
has been adopted by the Board of Directors, increases the number of shares which
may be issued upon exercise of options which may be granted under the Omnibus
Plan to 2,500,000. Such options may either be "incentive stock options" as
defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), or may be non-qualified options. The Omnibus Plan will terminate on
September 19, 2000 unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors. The
Company estimates that there are currently 200 persons who are eligible to
receive options under the Omnibus Plan.
The Omnibus Plan is administered by the Board of Directors with respect to
options granted to employees, officers and consultants who are not directors,
executive officers or significant employees of the Company, unless the Board
delegates administration of the Omnibus Plan to the Compensation Committee,
which the Board has done. The Compensation Sub-Committee administers the Omnibus
Plan with respect to options granted to directors, executive officers and
significant employees of the Company ("Reporting Persons"). The total number of
options to be granted in any year under the Omnibus Plan to participants, the
number and selection of the participants to receive options, the type and number
of options granted to each and the other terms and provisions of such options
are wholly within the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the
Compensation Sub-Committee, subject to the limitations set forth in the Omnibus
Plan.
4
<PAGE> 7
Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, the option exercise price may not be
less than 100% (or, with respect to incentive stock options, 110% if the
optionee owns 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the Company) of the fair market value of the underlying stock at the time the
option is granted. Options granted under the Omnibus Plan are generally
nontransferable and expire upon the earlier of an expiration date fixed by the
Compensation Committee and set forth in each individual option award
certificate, ten years (or with respect to incentive stock options, five years,
if the optionee owns 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company) from the date of grant, and either three months after the
date the optionee ceases to be an employee, officer or director of, or
consultant to, the Company or its subsidiaries or, if the optionee dies or
becomes disabled, one year after the date of death or the date the optionee
ceases to be an employee, officer, director or consultant because of disability.
Options which have expired or which have been cancelled unexercised will be
returned to the Omnibus Plan and may again be granted pursuant to the Omnibus
Plan.
Under the Omnibus Plan, the price payable upon exercise of options may be
paid in cash, property, services rendered or, under certain circumstances, in
shares of stock of the Company having a fair market value equal to the option
price on the date of exercise or any combination thereof.
The Compensation Committee and the Compensation Sub-Committee are
authorized, under the Omnibus Plan, to grant limited stock appreciation rights
("LSARs") with respect to all or any portion of the shares covered by options
granted to Reporting Persons simultaneously with the grant of the related
options if the related options are incentive stock options, or simultaneously
with the grant of, or at any time during the term of, the related options if the
related options are non-qualified options. The grant of an LSAR will not be
effective until six months after the date of its grant. Those options with
respect to which LSARs have been granted and become effective shall become
immediately exercisable upon the occurrence of any of the following events
(each, a "Triggering Event"): (i) consummation by the Company of a
reorganization, merger, or consolidation after approval of any such transaction
by shareholders, other than Reporting Persons, holding at least the minimum
number of shares necessary to approve such transaction under the Company's
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles") and
applicable law, (ii) consummation by the Company of a sale of substantially all
its assets after approval of any such transaction by shareholders, other than
Reporting Persons, holding at least the minimum number of shares necessary to
approve such transaction under the Articles and applicable law, or (iii)
acquisition by a single purchaser or group of related purchasers of in excess of
51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock from shareholders of
the Company other than Reporting Persons, in any case other than in a
transaction in which the surviving corporation or the purchaser is the Company
or a subsidiary of the Company (unless in such transaction the capital stock of
the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is converted into capital stock of an
entity other than the Company or any such subsidiary) or an entity controlled by
a Reporting Person.
Each LSAR provides that upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the
optionee will receive an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the fair
market value per share of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the option
on the date such Triggering Event occurs exceeds the exercise price per share of
the option to which the LSAR relates. A Triggering Event shall be deemed to have
occurred only when the fair market value of the shares subject to the underlying
option exceeds the exercise price of such option. When a Triggering Event
occurs, the related option will cease to be exercisable. LSARs have been granted
with respect to options to purchase 295,000 shares granted under the Omnibus
Plan to Mr. Pops, options to purchase 74,500 shares granted to Mr. Landine and
options to purchase 56,250 shares granted to Dr. Bartus.

<PAGE> 8
OPTIONS OUTSTANDING, EXERCISABLE AND AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE GRANT
As of June 6, 1997, options to purchase 1,466,228 shares were outstanding
under the Omnibus Plan, of which options to purchase 669,785 shares were
exercisable. The exercise prices for the outstanding options ranged from $0.56
to $28.75 per share. On June 6, 1997, the last sale price of the Company's
Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $17.125 per share. At June 6,
1997, options to purchase 62,699 shares (plus any options that expire or are
cancelled in the future) were available for future grant, exclusive of the
additional shares covered by the proposed amendment.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The Federal income tax discussion set forth below is intended for general
information only. State and local income tax consequences are not discussed and
may vary from locality to locality.
Under present Treasury regulations, a participant who is granted a
non-qualified option will not realize taxable income at the time the option is
granted. In general, a participant will be subject to tax for the year of
exercise on an amount of ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market
value of the shares on the date of exercise over the option price, and the
Company will receive a corresponding deduction. The participant's basis in the
shares so acquired will be equal to the option price plus the amount of ordinary
income upon which he is taxed. Upon subsequent disposition of the shares, the
participant will realize capital gain or loss, long-term or short-term,
depending upon the length of time the shares are held after the option is
exercised.
A participant is not taxed at the time an incentive option is granted. The
tax consequences upon exercise and later disposition depend upon whether the
participant was an employee of the Company or a subsidiary at all times from the
date of grant until three months preceding exercise (one year in the case of
permanent and total disability) and on whether the participant holds the shares
for more than one year after exercising the option and two years after the date
of grant of the option.
If the participant satisfies both the employment rule and the holding rule,
for regular tax purposes the participant will not realize income upon exercise
of the option and the Company will not be allowed an income tax deduction at any
time. The difference between the option price and the amount realized upon
disposition of the shares by the participant will generally constitute a
long-term capital gain or a long-term capital loss, as the case may be.
If the participant meets the employment rule but fails to observe the
holding rule (a "disqualifying disposition"), the participant generally
recognizes as ordinary income, in the year of the disqualifying disposition
(whether by sale or gift), the excess of the fair market value of the shares at
the date of exercise over the option price. In the case of a sale, any excess of
the sales price over the fair market value at the date of exercise will be
recognized by the participant as capital gain (long-term or short-term depending
on the length of time the stock was held after the option was exercised). If,
however, the sales price is less than the fair market value at the date of
exercise, then the ordinary income recognized by the participant is limited to
the excess of the sales price over the option price. In the case of any
disqualifying disposition, the Company's tax deduction is limited to the amount
of ordinary income recognized by the participant.
Different consequences will apply for a participant subject to the
alternative minimum tax.

(1) All restricted stock awards have been made pursuant to the Company's 1991
Restricted Common Stock Award Plan (the "Award Plan"). All awards cease to
be subject to forfeiture on an annual basis in 20% increments beginning on
the first anniversary of the date of award, provided the grantee has
remained an employee of the Company since the date of grant and the
employee has not deferred the date on which forfeiture will lapse. Stock
certificates are issued to the grantees

on the date each portion of their award ceases to be subject to forfeiture.
For purposes of the above table, the value of an award was determined by
multiplying the total shares subject to the award by the closing price for
the Company's Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the
date of the award. To the extent the Company declares any dividends on its
Common Stock, dividends shall be payable on awards only to the extent
forfeiture restrictions with respect to such awards have lapsed and shares
have been issued. The aggregate number and value (based on the closing
price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on March
31, 1997) of the restricted stock awards as of June 6, 1997 of each Named
Executive Officer who has awards are as follows: Mr. Pops, 16,000 shares,
$224,000; Dr. Bartus, 4,200 shares, $58,800; Mr. Landine, 9,600 shares,
$134,400; Dr. Putney, 3,600 shares, $50,400.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS
Under an agreement between Mr. Pops and the Company, dated February 7,
1991, in the event Mr. Pops' employment with the Company is terminated for any
reason other than as a result of his taking certain actions against or that have
a significant deleterious effect on the Company, Mr. Pops shall be entitled to
receive a payment equal to two-thirds of his then current annual base salary.
Under an agreement between Mr. Breyer and the Company, dated June 13, 1994, in
the event Mr. Breyer's employment with the Company is terminated by Alkermes for
any reason other than as a result of his taking certain actions against or that
have a significant deleterious effect on the Company, Mr. Breyer
11
<PAGE> 14
shall be entitled to receive payments at the monthly rate of his then current
annual base salary for up to nine months. The Company and Mr. Landine have
agreed that, in the event Mr. Landine's employment with the Company is
terminated for any reason other than as a result of his taking certain actions
against or that have a significant deleterious effect on the Company, Mr.
Landine shall be entitled to receive payments for the following six months
aggregating 50% of his then current annual salary.
Messrs. Pops and Landine and Dr. Bartus have been granted LSARs in
connection with a portion of the stock options previously granted to them. Each
LSAR provides that after the occurrence of one of several triggering events,
including a reorganization or merger of the Company, a sale of the assets of the
Company or the acquisition by a person or group of more than 51% of the Common
Stock of the Company, the optionee will receive an amount in cash equal to the
amount by which the fair market value per share of the Company's Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the option on the date such a triggering event occurs
exceeds the exercise price per share of the option to which the LSAR relates. A
triggering event shall be deemed to have occurred only when the fair market
value of the shares subject to the underlying option exceeds the exercise price
of such option. When a triggering event occurs, the related option will cease to
be exercisable.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Except for stock options automatically granted under the Stock Option Plan
For Non-Employee Directors, directors do not receive compensation for services
on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. All of the directors,
however, are reimbursed for their expenses for each Board and committee meeting
attended. In addition, Floyd E. Bloom, Alexander Rich, Paul Schimmel and Michael
A. Wall receive consulting fees from Alkermes and Robert S. Langer receives
consulting fees from Alkermes Controlled Therapeutics, Inc. ("ACTI"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997,
Alkermes paid consulting fees to Drs. Bloom, Rich and Schimmel and Mr. Wall
aggregating $30,000, $30,000, $48,000 and $80,000, respectively, and ACTI paid
consulting fees to Professor Langer aggregating $86,572. Consulting fees are
currently being paid to each of Drs. Bloom and Rich at the rate of $2,500 per
month, to Dr. Schimmel at the rate of $4,000 per month, to Mr. Wall at the rate
of $6,667 per month and to Professor Langer at the rate of $7,214 per month.
Alkermes believes that the terms of such consulting arrangements are no less
favorable to Alkermes and ACTI than those they could have received from an
independent third party.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
During the last fiscal year, the Compensation Committee consisted of John
K. Clarke, Robert S. Langer, Paul Schimmel and Michael A. Wall. The Compensation
Sub-Committee consists of John K. Clarke and Paul Schimmel. Mr. Wall and Dr.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") is responsible for reviewing
and establishing the compensation, and the Compensation Sub-Committee is
responsible for reviewing and establishing compensation in the form of stock
options or restricted stock awards, of the Company's executive officers.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION POLICIES
The Company's executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain
and motivate experienced and well qualified executive officers who will promote
the Company's research and product development efforts. In establishing
executive compensation levels, the Committee is guided by a number of
considerations. Because the Company is still in the process of developing its
portfolio of product candidates, and because of the volatile nature of
biotechnology stocks, the Committee believes that traditional performance
criteria, such as revenue growth, profit margins and stock price are
inappropriate for evaluating and rewarding the efforts of the Company's
executive officers. Rather, the Committee bases executive compensation on the
achievement of certain product development, corporate partnering, financial,
strategic planning and other goals of the Company and the executive officer. In
establishing compensation levels, the Committee also evaluates each officer's
individual performance using certain subjective criteria, including an
evaluation of each officer's initiative, contribution to overall corporate
performance and managerial ability. No specific numerical weight is given to any
of the above-noted subjective or objective performance criteria. In making its
evaluations, the Committee consults on an informal basis with other members of
the Board and, with respect to officers other than the Chief Executive Officer,
reviews the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.
Another consideration which affects the Committee's decisions regarding
executive compensation is the high demand for well-qualified personnel in the
biotechnology industry. Given such demand, the Committee strives to maintain
compensation levels which are competitive with the compensation of other
executives in the industry. To that end, the Committee reviews data obtained
from a generally available outside survey of compensation and benefits in the
biotechnology industry and from proxy statements or personal knowledge regarding
executive compensation at a limited number of comparable companies, some of
which are included in the Nasdaq Pharmaceutical Index shown in the Performance
Graph on page 17.
A third factor which affects compensation levels is the Committee's belief
that stock ownership by management is beneficial in aligning management's and
shareholders' interests in the enhancement of shareholder value. In accordance
with such belief, the Committee and the Compensation Sub-Committee seek to
provide a significant portion of executive compensation in the form of stock
options or restricted stock awards. The Committee and the Compensation
Sub-Committee have not, however, targeted a range or specific number of options
or awards for each executive position, but makes its decisions based on the
above-mentioned survey and the general experience of the Committee and the
Compensation Sub-Committee members.

COMPENSATION MIX
The Company's executive compensation packages generally include three
components: base salary; a discretionary annual cash bonus; and stock options
and restricted stock awards. The Committee generally reviews, and makes any
changes to, the base salary and bonus of each executive officer as of the
beginning of each calendar year.
Base Salary
The Committee seeks to establish base salaries which are competitive for
each position and level of responsibility with those of executive officers at
various other biotechnology companies of comparable size and stage of
development.
Discretionary Cash Bonus
The Committee believes that discretionary cash bonuses are useful on a case
by case basis to motivate and reward executive officers. However, cash bonuses
have not been a significant element of the Company's executive compensation
program, as the Committee believes long-term incentives are more appropriate and
help to conserve cash. Bonuses for executive officers are not guaranteed, but
are awarded from time to time only in the discretion of the Committee. Criteria
for bonuses for executive officers range from success in attracting equity
capital to success in conducting clinical trials to success in entering into new
and expanded collaborations.
Stock Options and Restricted Stock Awards
Grants of stock options and awards of restricted stock under the Company's
stock option and restricted stock award plans are designed to promote the
identity of the long-term interests between the Company's executives and its
shareholders and to assist in the retention of executives. Since stock options
granted by the Company generally become exercisable over either a three-year or
four-year period and restricted stock awards made by the Company cease to be
subject to forfeiture on an annual basis over a five-year period, their ultimate
value is dependent upon the long-term appreciation of the Company's stock price
and the executive's continued employment with the Company. In addition, grants
of stock options and awards of restricted stock may result in an increase in
executive officers' equity interests in the Company, thereby providing such
persons with the opportunity to share in the future value they are responsible
for creating.
When granting stock options or making restricted stock awards, the
Committee and the Compensation Sub-Committee consider the relative performance
and contributions of each officer compared to that of other officers within the
Company with similar levels of responsibility. The number of options granted or
shares awarded to each executive officer are generally determined by the
Committee and the Compensation Sub-Committee on the basis of the general
experience and subjective judgment of its members.
14
<PAGE> 17
Section 162(m) of the Code limits the deductibility of annual compensation
over $1 million to the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Executive
Officers unless certain conditions are met. The Company's Chief Executive
Officer and the other Named Executive Officers have not received annual
compensation over $1 million, and the Company has not yet determined what
measures, if any, it should take to comply with Section 162.
COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
In establishing Mr. Pops' compensation package, the Committee seeks to
maintain a level of total current compensation that is competitive with that of
chief executives of certain other companies in the biotechnology industry at
comparable stages of development. In addition, in order to align Mr. Pops'
interests with the long-term interests of the Company's shareholders, the
Committee and the Compensation Sub-Committee attempt to make a substantial
portion of the value of his total compensation dependent on the long-term
appreciation of the Company's stock price.
At the Company's current stage of development, the Committee believes that
Mr. Pops' performance as Chief Executive Officer of the Company must be
evaluated almost exclusively using subjective criteria, including the
Committee's evaluation of the Company's progress in attracting and retaining
senior management, identifying new product candidates, identifying and securing
corporate collaborators for the development of product candidates, identifying
and acquiring new product development and technology opportunities, advancing
the Company's existing product candidates through the complex drug development
and regulatory approval process and raising the necessary capital to fund its
research and development efforts.
In evaluating and establishing Mr. Pops' current compensation package, the
Committee considered the following accomplishments of the Company during
calendar 1996.
In March 1996, the Company acquired certain assets and technology owned or
used by Medisorb Technologies International L.P. In May 1996, the Company
successfully completed a public offering of 2,300,000 shares of its Common Stock
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $22.9 million. In
addition, a $5 million mortgage financing loan was completed in September 1996.
The Company expanded its collaboration for Medisorb(R) with Janssen
Pharmaceutica and its collaboration for ProLease(R) with Genentech, Inc. At the
time the Committee established Mr. Pops' compensation, the Company had
substantially negotiated and subsequently entered into a new collaboration for
ProLease with Johnson & Johnson.
In addition, the Company progressed in clinical trials of product
candidates based on its proprietary RMP-7(TM), ProLease and Medisorb drug
delivery systems. The Company completed a Phase I/II clinical trial of
intra-arterial RMP-7 and completed enrollment of one multi-center Phase II
clinical trial of intra-arterial RMP-7. In July 1996, Alkermes initiated a
non-controlled, open label Phase I/II clinical trial of intravenous RMP-7. In
August 1996, the Company completed a Phase I clinical trial of ProLease hGH in
growth hormone deficient adults and in November 1996 commenced a multi-center
Phase I/II clinical trial of ProLease hGH in growth hormone deficient children.
The Company successfully manufactured a Medisorb formulation of a Janssen
proprietary product and initial Phase I clinical trials of this Medisorb
formulation were completed in 1996.

Given the significant role played by Mr. Pops in each of the above-noted
accomplishments, the Committee increased Mr. Pops' annual base salary effective
January 1, 1997 from $290,000 to $320,000 and granted Mr. Pops cash bonuses
during the fiscal year totaling $50,000. As additional recognition of Mr. Pops'
efforts in 1996, and in furtherance of the Committee's belief that a substantial
portion of Mr. Pops' total compensation should be dependent on the long-term
appreciation of the Company's stock price, in November 1996 the Committee
granted Mr. Pops options to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock, which was
subsequently ratified by the Compensation Sub-Committee. The Committee believes
that each of these actions was particularly appropriate given Mr. Pops'
performance during calendar 1996 and in order to maintain his compensation at a
competitive level compared to that of the chief executive officers of other
similarly sized and positioned biotechnology companies.

received a management fee of 10% of such costs. For the fiscal year ended March
31, 1997, the Company recorded revenue of $1,415,313 from the Partnership
pursuant to the Product Development Agreement. Since the completion of funding
from the Partnership, Alkermes has used its own resources, and intends to
continue to use its own resources, to develop RMP-7, but may be forced to seek
alternative sources of funding, including additional collaborators.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and
executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of
the Company's Common Stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of
Common Stock. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent
shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Professor Langer is a beneficiary of The
Wetmann Trust but, has no voting or investment power with respect to the shares
held by The Wetmann Trust, which sold 20,000 shares of Common Stock in May,
1996. The Wetmann Trust timely filed a Form 4 reporting the sale of only 10,000
shares of Common Stock. The error was discovered in July, and an amended Form 4
was filed to reflect the sale of all 20,000 shares. To the Company's knowledge,
based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company
and written representations that no other reports were required, for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1997, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to
its executive officers, directors, officers and greater than ten percent
shareholders were complied with.
