the basis of cost plus a fee shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of
those subcontracts.

as used in the above-referenced provisions of the General Conditions shall mean

Contractor's Fee in the case of changes in the Work, or if the extent of such

Contractor's Fee shall be equitably adjusted on the basis of the Fee established
for the original Work.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                        SUBCONTRACTS AN0 OTHER AGREEMENTS

10.1 Those portions of the Work that the Contractor does not customarily perform
with the Contractor's own personnel shall be performed under subcontracts or by
other appropriate agreements with the Contractor. The Contractor shall obtain
bids from subcontractors and from suppliers of materials or equipment fabricated
especially for the Work and shall deliver such bids to the Architect. The Owner
will then determine, with the advice of the Contractor and subject to the
reasonable objection of the Architect, which bids will be accepted. The Owner
may designate specific persons or entities from whom the Contractor shall obtain
bids; however, if a Guaranteed Maximum Price has been established, the Owner may
not prohibit the Contractor from obtaining bids from others. The Contractor
shall not be required to contract with anyone to whom the Contractor has
reasonable objection.

10.2 If a Guaranteed Maximum Price has been established and a bidder among those
whose bids are delivered by the Contractor to the Architect (1) is recommended
to the Owner by the Contractor, (2) is qualified to perform that portion of the
Work; and (3) has submitted a bid which conforms to the requirements of the
Contract Documents without reservations or exceptions, but the Owner requires
that another bid be accepted; then the Contractor may require that a Change
Order be issued to adjust the Guaranteed Maximum Price by the difference between
the bid of the person or entity recommended to the Owner by the Contractor and

or entity designated by the Owner.



10.3 Subcontracts or other agreements shall conform to the payment provisions of
Paragraphs 12.7 and 12.8, and shall not be awarded on the basis of cost plus a
fee without the prior consent of the Owner.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                               ACCOUNTING RECORDS

11.1 The Contractor shall keep full and detailed accounts and exercise such
controls as may be necessary for proper financial management under this
Contract; the accounting and control systems shall be satisfactory to the Owner.
The Owner and the Owner's accountants shall be afforded access to the
Contractor's records, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts,
subcontracts, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda and other data relating to
this Contract, and the Contractor shall preserve these for a period of three
years after final payment, or for such longer period as may be required by law.

                                   ARTICLE 12
                                PROGRESS PAYMENTS

12.1 Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Architect by the
Contractor and Certificates for Payment issued by the Architect, the Owner shall
make progress payments on account of the Contract Sum to the Contractor as
provided below and elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

12.2 The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be one calendar
month ending on the last day of the month, or as follows:

12.3 Provided an Application for Payment is approved by the Architect not later
than the Fifth day of the month, the Owner shall make payment to the Contractor
no later than 30 days. If an Application for Payment is approved by the
Architect after the application date fixed above, payment shall be made by the
Owner not later than 30 days after the Architect receives the Application for
Payment. Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

12.4 With each Application for Payment the Contractor shall submit payrolls,
petty cash accounts, receipted invoices or invoices with check vouchers
attached, and any other evidence required by the Owner or Architect to
demonstrate that cash disbursements already made by the Contractor on account of
the Cost of the Work equal or exceed (1) progress payments already received by
the Contractor; less (2) that portion of those payments attributable to the
Contractor's Fee; plus (3) payrolls for the period covered by the present
Application for Payment; plus (4) retainage provided in Subparagraph 12.5.4, if
any, applicable to prior progress payments.

12.5 CONTRACTS WITH A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

12.5.1 Each Application for Payment shall be based upon the most recent schedule
of values submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the Contract Documents.
The schedule of values shall allocate the entire Guaranteed Maximum Price among
the various portions of the Work, except that the Contractor's Fee shall be
shown as a single separate item. The schedule of values shall be prepared in
such form and



supported by such data to substantiate its accuracy as the Architect may
require. This schedule, unless objected to by the Architect, shall be used as a
basis for reviewing the Contractor's Applications for Payment.

12.5.2 Applications for Payment shall show the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Application for
Payment. The percentage completion shall be the lesser of (1) the percentage of
that portion of the Work which has actually been completed or (2) the percentage
obtained by dividing (a) the expense which has actually been incurred by the
Contractor on account of that portion of the Work for which the Contractor has
made or intends to make actual payment prior to the next Application for Payment
by (b) the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to that portion of
the Work in the schedule of values.

12.5.3 Subject to other provisions of the Contract Documents, the amount of each
progress payment shall be reputed as follows:

12.5.3.1 Take that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to
completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work by the share of the Guaranteed Maximum Price allocated to
that portion of the Work in the schedule of values. Pending final determination
of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute may be
included as provided in Subparagraph 7.3.7 of the General Conditions, even
though the Guaranteed Maximum Price has not yet been adjusted by Change Order.

12.5.3.2 Add that portion of the Guaranteed Maximum Price properly allocable to
materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work or, if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably
stored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing.

12.5.3.3 Add the Contractor's Fee, less retainage of ten percent (10%). The
Contractor's Fee shall be computed upon the Cost of the Work described in the
two preceding Clauses at the rate stated in Paragraph 5.1 or, if the
Contractor's Fee is stated as a fixed sum in that Paragraph, shall be an amount
which bears the same ratio to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work in the
two preceding Clauses bears to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the
Work upon its completion.

12.5.3.4 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner.

l2.5.3.5 Subtract the shortfall, if any, indicated by the Contractor in the
documentation required by Paragraph 12.4 to substantiate prior Applications for
Payment, or resulting from errors subsequently discovered by the Owner's
accountants in such documentation.

12.5.3.6 Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or
nullified a Certificate for Payment as provided in Paragraph 9.5 of the General
Conditions.

12.5.4 Additional retainage, if any, shall be as follows:




(If it is intended to retain, additional amounts from progress payments to the
Contractor beyond (1) the retainage from the Contractor's Fee provided in Clause
12.5.3.3, (2) the retainage from Subcontractors provided in paragraph 12.7
below, and (3) the retainage, if any, provided by other provisions of the
Contract, insert provision for such additional retainage here. Such provision,
if made, should also describe any arrangement for limiting or reducing the
amount retained after the Work reaches a certain state of completion.

There shall be no retainage on materials purchased by Siena Construction
Corporation. Retainage of subcontractors who have completed their work and their
punch list work shall be reduced to O% thirty (30) days after completion of the
Work. After Substantial Completion retainage shall be reduced to reflect the
value of the punchlist work outstanding but in no event shal1 the retainage be
less than $10,000. Upon completion of the punchlist RepliGen will make final
payment.

12.6 CONTRACTS WITHOUT A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE
      Intentionally Deleted

12.7 Except with the Owner's prior approval, payments to Subcontractors included
in the Contractor's Applications for Payment shall not exceed an amount for each
Subcontractor calculated as follows:

12.7.1 Take that portion of the Subcontract Sum properly allocable to complete4
Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion of each portion of
the Subcontractor's Work by the share of the total Subcontract Sum allocated to
that portion in the Subcontractor's schedule of values, less retainage of ten
percent (10%). Pending final determination of amounts to be paid to the
Subcontractor for changes in the Work, amounts not in dispute may be included as
provided in Subparagraph 7.3.7 of the General Conditions even though the
Subcontract Sum has not yet been adjusted by Change Order.

12.7.2 Add that portion of the Subcontract Sum properly allocable to materials
and equipment delivered and suitably stored at the site for subsequent
incorporation in the Work or, if approved in advance by the Owner, suitably
motored off the site at a location agreed upon in writing, less retainage of 10
percent (10%).

12.7.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Contractor to the
Subcontractor.

12.7.4 Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect has withheld or
nullified a Certificate for Payment by the Owner to the Con-tractor for reasons
which are the fault of the Subcontractor.

12.7.5 Add, upon Substantial Completion of the entire Work of the Contractor, a
sum sufficient to increase the total payments to the Subcontractor to percent ()
of the Subcontract Sum, less amounts, if any, for incomplete. Work and unsettled
claims; and, if final completion of the entire Work is thereafter materially
delayed through no fault of the Subcontractor, add any additional amounts
payable on account of Work of the Subcontractor in accordance with Subparagraph
9.10.3 of the General Conditions.



(If it is intended, prior to Substantial Completion of the entire Work of the
Contractor, to reduce or limit the retainage from Subcontractors resulting from
the percentages inserted in Subparagraphs 12.7. I and 12.7.2 above, and this is
not explained elsewhere in the Contract Documents, insert here provisions for
such reduction or limitation.)

The Subcontract Sum is the total amount stipulated in the subcontract to be paid
by the Contractor to the Subcontractor for the Subcontractor's performance of
the subcontract.

12.8 Except with the Owner's prior approval, the Contractor shall nor make
advance payments to suppliers for materials or equipment which have not been
delivered and stored at the site.

12 9 In taking action on the Contractor's Applications for Payment, the
Architect shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the
information furnished by the Contractor and shall not be deemed to represent
that the Architect has made a detailed examination, audit or arithmetic
verification of the documentation submitted in accordance with Paragraph 12.4 or
other supporting data; that the Architect has made exhaustive or continuous
on-site inspections or that the Architect has made examinations to ascertain how
or for what purposes the Contractor has used amounts previously paid on account
of the Contract. Such examinations, audits and verifications, if required by the
Owner, will be performed by the Owner's accountants acting in the sole interest
of the Owner.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                                  FINAL PAYMENT

13.1 Final payment shall be made by the Owner to the Contractor when (1) the
Contract has been fully performed by the Contractor except for the Contractor's
responsibility to correct defective or nonconforming Work, as provided in
Subparagraph 12.2.2 of the General Conditions, and to satisfy other
requirements, if any, which necessarily survive final payment; (2) a final
Application for

payment and a final accounting for the Cost of the Work have been submitted by
the Contractor and reviewed by the Owner's accountants; and (3) a final
Certificate for Payment has then been issued by the Architect; such final
payment shall be made by the Owner not more than 30 days after the issuance of
the Architect's final Certificate for Payment, or as follows:

13.2 The amount of the final payment shall be calculated as follows:

13.2.1 Take the sum of the Cost of the Work substantiated by the Contractor's
final accounting and the Contractor's Fee; but nor more than the Guaranteed
Maximum Price, if any.

13.2.2 Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Architect withholds, in whole or
in part, a final Certificate for Payment as provided in Subparagraph 9.5.1 of
the General Conditions or other provisions of the Contract Documents.



13.2.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner. If the
aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner exceeds the amount due the
Contractor, the Contractor shall reimburse the difference to the Owner.

13.3 The Owner's accountants will review and report in writing on the
Contractor's final accounting within 30 days after delivery of the final
accounting to the Architect by the Contractor. Based upon such Cost of the Work
as the Owner's accountants report to be substantiated by the Contractor's final
accounting, and provided the other conditions of Paragraph 13.1 have been met,
the Architect will, within seven days after receipt of the written report of the
Owner's accountants, either issue to the Owner a final Certificate for Payment
with a copy to the Contractor, or notify the Contractor and Owner in writing of
the Architect's reasons for withholding a certificate as provided in
Subparagraph 9.5.1 of the General Conditions. The time periods stated in this
Paragraph 13.3 supersede those stated in Subparagraph 9.4.1 of the General
Conditions.

13.4 If the Owner's accountants report the Cost of the Work as substantiated by
the Contractor's final accounting to be less than claimed by the Contractor, the
Contractor shall be entitled to demand arbitration of the disputed amount
without a further decision of the Architect. Such demand for arbitration shall
be made by the Contractor within 30 days after the Contractor's receipt of a
copy of the Architect's final Certificate for Payment; failure to demand
arbitration within this 30-day period shall result in the substantiated amount
reported by the Owner's accountants becoming binding on the Contractor. Pending
a final resolution by arbitration, the Owner shall pay the Contractor the amount
certified in the Architect's final Certificate for Payment.

13.5 If, subsequent to final payment and at the Owner's request, the Contractor
incurs costs described in Article 7 and not excluded by Article 8 to correct
defective or nonconforming Work, the Owner shall reimburse the Contractor such
costs and the Contractor's Fee applicable thereto on the same basis as if such
costs had been incurred prior to final payment, but not in excess of the
Guaranteed Maximum Price, if any. If the Contractor has participated in savings
as provided in Paragraph 5.2, the amount of such savings shall be recalculated
and appropriate credit given to the Owner in determining the net amount to be
paid by the Owner to the Contractor.

                                   ARTICLE 14
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

14.1 Where reference is made in this Agreement to a provision of the General
Conditions or another Contract Document, the reference refers to that provision
as amended or supplemented by other provisions of the Contract Documents.

14.2 Payments due and unpaid under the Contract shall bear interest from the
date payment is due at the rate stated below, or in the absence thereof, at the
legal rate prevailing from time to time at the place where the Project is
located.

(Insert rate of interest agreed upon, if any.)




(Usury laws and requirements under the Federal Truth in Lending Act, similar
state and local consumer credit laws and other regulations at the Owner's and
Contractor's principal places of business, the location of the project and
elsewhere may affect the validity of this provision. Legal advice should be
obtained with respect to deletions or modifications, and also regarding
requirements such as written disclosures or waivers.)

14.3 Other provisions:

1) NDC Development Associates, Repligen Corporation, and West Seyon, LLC are to
be named as additional insureds on Certificates of Insurance.

2) Payment and Performance Bonds are not required.

3) Partial Lien Waivers are to he provided by Contractor and Subcontractors
monthly.

4) Final Lien Releases to be provided upon completion.

                                   ARTICLE 15
                            TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION

15.1 The Contract may be terminated by the Contractor as provided in Article 14
of the General Conditions; however, the amount to be paid to the Contractor
under Subparagraph 14.1.2 of the General Conditions shall not exceed the amount
the Contractor would be entitled to receive under Paragraph 15.3 below, except
that the Contractor's Fee shall be calculated as if the Work had been fully
completed by the Contractor, including a reasonable estimate of the Cost of the
Work for Work not actually completed

15.2 If a Guaranteed Maximum Price is established in Article 5, the Contract may
be terminated by the Owner for cause as provided in Article 14 of the General
Conditions; however, the amount, if any, to be paid to the Contractor under
Subparagraph 14.2.4 of the General Conditions shall not cause the Guaranteed
Maximum Price to be exceeded, nor shall it exceed the amount the Contractor
would be entitled to receive under Paragraph 15.3 below.

15.3 If no Guaranteed Maximum Price is established in Article 5, the Contract
may be terminated by the Owner for cause as provided in Article 14 of the
General Conditions; however, the Owner shall then pay the Contractor an amount
calculated as follows:

15.3 1 Take the Cost of the Work incurred by the Contractor to the date of
termination.

15.3.2 Add the Contractor's Fee computed upon the Cost of the Work to the date
of termination at the rate stated in Paragraph 5.1 or, if the Contractor's Fee
is stated as a fixed sum in that Paragraph, an amount which bears the same ratio
to that fixed-sum Fee as the Cost of the Work at the time of termination bears
to a reasonable estimate of the probable Cost of the Work upon its completion.

15.3.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the Owner.



The Owner shall also pay the Contractor fair compensation, either by purchase or
rental at the election of the Owner, for any equipment owned by the Contractor
which the Owner elects to retain and which is not otherwise included in the Cost
of the Work under Subparagraph 15.3. 1. To the extent that the Owner elects to
take legal assignment of subcontracts and purchase orders (including rental
agreements), the Contractor shall, as a condition of receiving the payments
referred to in this Article 15, execute and deliver all such papers and take all
such steps, including the legal assignment of such subcontracts and other
contractual rights of the Contractor, as the Owner may require for the purpose
of fully vesting in the Owner the rights and benefits of the Contractor under
such subcontracts or purchase orders.

15.4 The Work may be suspended by the Owner as provided in article 14 of the
General Conditions; in such case, the Guaranteed Maximum Price, if any, shall be
increased as provided in Subparagraph 14.3.2 of the General Conditions except
that the term "cost of performance of the Contract" in that Subparagraph shall
be understood to mean the Cost of the Work and the term "profit" shall be
understood to mean the Contractor's Fee as described in Paragraphs 5.1 and 6.3
of this Agreement.
