Boston, Massachusetts 02110

Attn: Jeffrey S. Levy, Esq.

If to the Executive:

At his most recent address shown on the payroll records of the Company or to such other address as any party hereto may designate by notice to the others.

(b)           This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth hereunder, and supersedes and is in full substitution for any and all prior understandings or agreements with respect to such matters.

(c)           This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto, and any provision hereof may be waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the

11

party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought.  The failure of any party hereto at any time to require the performance by any other party hereto of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself or a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.

(d)           The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each party has reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and has had the opportunity to contribute to its revision.  Accordingly, the rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.  Rather, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed fairly as to both parties hereto and not in favor or against either party.

(e)           This Agreement is binding on and is for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives.  Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned by the Executive.

(f)            The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  As used in the Agreement, “the Company” shall mean both the Company as defined above and any such successor that assumes this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(g)           Any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this Section 15, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.  If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable.  No waiver of any provision or violation of this Agreement by the Company shall be implied by the Company’s forbearance or failure to take action.

(h)           The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (except to the extent exempt as short-term deferrals or otherwise) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.  A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits subject to Section 409A of the Code upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” “termination of the Employment Period” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”  The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in a manner consistent with, and based on the presumptions set forth in, U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) or any successor provision thereto.   It is intended that each installment, if any, of the payments and benefits provided hereunder shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.  Neither the Company nor the Executive shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A of the Code; and if, as of the date of the “separation from service,” the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any successor provision thereto), then with regard to any payment

12

or the provision of any benefit that is subject to this Section 15(h) (whether under this Agreement, or pursuant to any other agreement with or plan, program, payroll practice of the Company) and is due upon or as a result of the Executive’s separation from service, such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided, to the extent making or providing such payment or benefit would result in additional taxes or interest under Section 409A of the Code, until the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service,” and (ii) the date of the Executive’s death (the “ Delay Period ”) and this Agreement and each such agreement, plan, program, or payroll practice shall hereby be deemed amended accordingly.  Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 15(h) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.  All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise to the Executive shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A of the Code.  All expenses or other reimbursements paid pursuant herewith and therewith that are taxable income to the Executive shall in no event be paid later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Executive incurs such expense or pays such related tax.  With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that, the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect and such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred.

(i)            This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

(j)            This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  A facsimile of a signature shall be deemed to be and have the effect of an original signature.

(k)           The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be a part of or control or affect the meaning of any provision hereof.

Financial Restatement and Clawback Policy

Recoupment Upon Restatement or Misstatement of Financial Results: If, in the opinion of the independent directors of the Board,  due in whole or in part to intentional fraud or misconduct by one or more of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Executive Vice President—Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President—Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President—Commercial Development, either the Company’s financial results are restated (the “Restatement”) or the Company’s financial results are found to be inaccurate in a manner that materially affects the calculation of compensation for such officers but does not give rise to a Restatement (the “Inaccuracy”), the independent directors have the discretion to use their best efforts to remedy the fraud or misconduct and prevent its recurrence. The Company’s independent directors may, based upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the Restatement or Inaccuracy, direct that the Company recover all or a portion of any bonus or incentive compensation paid, or cancel all, or part of, the stock-based awards granted, to an executive officer that is related to the Restatement or Inaccuracy, as further described in the next paragraph. In addition, the independent directors may also seek to recoup any gains realized with respect to equity-based awards, including stock awards granted under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”),  or other incentive payments made or required to be made by the Company under any discretionary, non-discretionary, targeted or other compensation plan of the Company the awarding of which was related to the Restatement or the Inaccuracy, regardless of when issued or required to be issued at a future date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Inaccuracy, any amount recovered, cancelled or recouped will not exceed the amount by which the compensation based on the inaccurate financial results exceeded the compensation calculated under the accurate financial results.

The remedies that may be sought by the independent directors are subject to a number of conditions, including that: (1) the bonus or incentive compensation to be recouped was based on the achievement of objective financial or other similar criteria or factors as provided for in the executive officer’s employment agreement and was calculated based upon the financial results that were restated or found to be inaccurate, (2) the executive officer in question engaged in the intentional misconduct, (3) the bonus or incentive compensation calculated or to be calculated under the restated or accurate financial results is less than the amount actually paid or awarded or to be paid or awarded and (4) no remedy, action or proceeding for the recovery of any amount from an executive officer that is provided for in this Policy shall be commenced after a period of three years from the date of such Restatement or Inaccuracy.

In addition, the independent directors may take other disciplinary action, including, without limitation: (1) adjustment of future compensation of the executive officer, (2) termination of the executive officer’s employment, (3) pursuit of any and all remedies available in law and/or equity in any country, and (4) pursuit of such other action as may fit the circumstances of the particular case. The independent directors may take into account penalties or punishments imposed by third parties, such as law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities. The independent directors’ power to determine the appropriate punishment for the wrongdoers is in addition to, and not in replacement of, remedies imposed by such entities and is in addition to any right of recoupment under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or otherwise required by law or stock exchange requirements.
