Term") upon the same terms and conditions contained in

further available for renewal after the expiration of the second
Original Premises Renewal Term and (y) the rental for each Original
Premises Renewal Term shall be the "Renewal Rental Rate", but in no

applicable to the Original Premises and the Expansion Premises for the
last twelve (12) calendar months of the preceding term of the Lease.
If, and only if, on the Expiration Date applicable to the Third Floor

rents (including, without limitation, those similar to the Basic
Annual Rent and Additional Rent) payable by renewal tenants having a
credit standing substantially similar to that of Tenant, for
properties of equivalent quality, size, utility and location as the

into an amendment to this Lease to reflect the extension of the term
and changes in Rent in accordance with this Rider. If (i) Tenant

hereunder with respect to the Original Premises and Expansion Premises
or the Third Floor Right of Right Refusal Premises, as the case may
be. If Tenant timely notifies Landlord in writing of Tenant's

----------
and approved by Landlord shall, at Tenant's expense, prepare and deliver to
Landlord a space plan for the Third Floor Right of First Refusal Premises

subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord) to efficiently and expeditiously
arrive at an acceptable lay-out of the Third Floor Right of First Refusal
Premises. Landlord will approve or disapprove in writing the space plan within
three (3) business days after receipt from Tenant and if disapproved, Landlord

space plan, when approved by Landlord and Tenant, is herein referred to as the
"Space Plan").
1.2 Compliance With Disability Acts. Tenant has provided Tenant's space
-------------------------------

Tenant's employer-employee obligations, or (ii) violations by Tenant and/or
Tenant's Improvements or the Third Floor Right of First Refusal Premises not
being in compliance with the Disability Acts. The foregoing indemnity shall not
include any claims, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) arising out of the negligence or gross negligence of Landlord
or Landlord's employees, agents or contractors.
1.3 Construction Plans. On or before fifteen (15) days after approval of the
------------------
Space Plan by Landlord and Tenant, a licensed architect reasonably acceptable to

and specifications (such construction plans and specifications, when approved by
Landlord and Tenant, and all changes and amendments thereto agreed to by
Landlord and Tenant in writing, are herein called the "Construction Plans") for

any part of the Building, (v) the design and/or color of the improvements which
can been seen from the Common Areas do not conform to the design and/or color
scheme generally found in other parts of the Building, (vi) the work required by

Refusal Premises or the Building, or (vii) the construction plans are incomplete
or contain material errors or omissions (collectively, "Permitted Objections").

of the Space Plan and the Construction Plans within thirty (30) days of receipt
of an invoice therefor.

drawing, re-drafting or re-reviewing by Landlord's architect required in

the Contractor, Landlord shall enter into a construction contract with
the Contractor consistent with the terms of the bid to construct the
Tenant's Improvements (the "Construction Contract").
2.2 Construction Obligation and Finish Allowance.
--------------------------------------------
(a) Landlord agrees to construct Tenant's Improvements, at Tenant's cost
and expense; provided, however, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an
allowance up to $233,292.50 (the "Third Floor Right of First Refusal
Premises Finish Allowance"), which allowance shall be disbursed by
Landlord, from time to time, for payment of (in the following
priority) (i) the contract sum required to be paid to the general
contractor engaged to construct Tenant's Improvements, which contract
sum shall include without limitation, the costs of any and all payment
and performance bonds required by Landlord in connection with the
construction of Tenant's Improvements and any other costs incurred by
such general contractor
to comply with the construction requirements applicable to the
Building (the "Contract Sum"), (ii) the fees of the preparer of the
Space Plan and the Construction Plans, (iii) payment of the
Construction Management Fee (hereinafter defined), and (iv) such other
costs related to the leasehold improvements (such as equipment,
appliances and furnishings) as Landlord specifically approves in
writing, it being understood that Landlord shall have no obligation
whatsoever to fund any portion of the Finish Allowance for such other
costs. Upon completion of Tenant's Improvements and in consideration
of Landlord administering the construction of Tenant's Improvements,
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord a fee equal to five percent (5%) of the
Contract Sum to construct Tenant's Improvements (the "Construction
Management Fee") (the foregoing costs are collectively referred to as
the "Permitted Costs").
(b) Title to any equipment, appliances, furnishings or personalty
installed in the Third Floor Right of First Refusal Premises and
purchased with any portion of the Third Floor Right of First Refusal
Premises Finish Allowance shall pass to Landlord upon payment of the
invoice cost thereof and Tenant shall not remove any such equipment,
appliances, furnishings or personalty from the Third Floor Right of
First Refusal Premises without Landlord's express, prior written
consent or unless requested by Landlord in connection with the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
2.3 Excess Costs. If the sum of the Permitted Costs exceeds the Third Floor
------------
Right of First Refusal Premises Finish Allowance, then Tenant shall pay all such
excess costs ("Excess Costs"). Tenant agrees to keep the Third Floor Right of
First Refusal Premises free from any liens arising out of nonpayment of Excess
Costs. In the event that any such lien is filed and Tenant, within ten (10)
days following such filing fails to cause same to be released of record by
payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all
other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to
cause the same to be released by such means as it in its sole discretion deems
proper, including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such
lien. All sums paid by Landlord in connection therewith shall constitute Rent
under the Lease and a demand obligation of Tenant to Landlord and such
obligation shall bear interest at the rate provided for in Section 15.10 of the
Supplemental Lease Provisions from the date of payment by Landlord until the
date paid by Tenant.
2.4 Construction Deposit. Tenant shall remit to Landlord an amount (the
--------------------
"Prepayment") equal to the projected Excess Costs, if any, within five (5)
working days after commencement of construction by Landlord. Upon Substantial
Completion of the Tenant's Improvements in the Third Floor Right of First
Refusal Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the actual Excess Costs,
minus the Prepayment previously paid. Failure by Tenant to timely tender to
Landlord the full Prepayment shall permit Landlord to stop all work until the
Prepayment is received. All sums due Landlord under this Section 2.4 shall be
considered Rent under the terms of the Lease and nonpayment shall constitute a
default under the Lease and entitle Landlord to any and all remedies specified
in the Lease.
3. Substantial Completion and Punch List. The terms "Substantial Completion"
-------------------------------------
and "Substantially Complete," as applicable, shall mean when Tenant's
Improvements are sufficiently completed in accordance with the Construction
Plans so that Tenant can reasonably use the Third Floor Right of First Refusal
Premises for the Permitted Use (as described in Item 10 of the Basic Lease
Provisions). When Landlord considers Tenant's Improvements to be Substantially
Complete, Landlord will notify Tenant and within two (2) business days
thereafter, Landlord's representative and Tenant's representative shall conduct
a walk-through of the Third Floor Right of First Refusal Premises and identify
any necessary touch-up work, repairs and minor completion items as are necessary
for final completion of Tenant's Improvements. Neither Landlord's
representative nor Tenant's representative shall unreasonably withhold his
agreement on punch list items. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to cause
the contractor to complete all punch list items within thirty (30) days after
agreement thereon.
4. Tenant's Contractors. If Tenant should desire to enter the Third Floor
--------------------
Right of First Refusal Premises or authorize its agent to do so prior to
Substantial Completion of the Tenant's Improvements in the Third Floor Right of
First Refusal Premises, to perform approved work not requested of the Landlord,
Landlord shall permit such entry if:
(a) Tenant shall use only such contractors which Landlord shall approve in
its reasonable discretion and Landlord shall have approved the plans
to be utilized by Tenant, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld; and
(b) Tenant, its contractors, workmen, mechanics, engineers, space planners
or such others as may enter the Third Floor Right of First Refusal
Premises (collectively, "Tenant's Contractors"), work in harmony with
and do not in any way disturb or interfere with Landlord's space
planners, architects, engineers, contractors, workmen, mechanics or
other agents or independent contractors in the performance of their
work (collectively, "Landlord's Contractors"), it being understood and
agreed that if entry of Tenant or Tenant's Contractors would cause,
has caused or is causing a material disturbance to Landlord or
Landlord's Contractors, then Landlord may, with notice, refuse
admittance to Tenant or Tenant's Contractors causing such disturbance;
and
(c) Tenant (notwithstanding the first sentence of subsection 7.201 of the
Supplemental Lease Provisions), Tenant's Contractors and other agents
shall provide Landlord sufficient evidence that each is covered under
such Worker's Compensation, public liability and property damage
insurance as Landlord may reasonably request for its protection.
Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage to any of Tenant's
installations or decorations made prior to the Third Floor Right of First
Refusal Premises Commencement Date and not installed by Landlord. Tenant shall
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord's Contractors from and against
any and all costs, expenses, claims, liabilities and causes of action arising
out of or in connection with work performed in the Third Floor Right of First
Refusal Premises by or on behalf of Tenant (but excluding work performed by
Landlord or Landlord's Contractors). Landlord is not responsible for the
function and maintenance of Tenant's Improvements which are different than
Landlord's standard improvements at the Property or improvements, equipment,
cabinets or fixtures not installed by Landlord. Such entry by Tenant and
Tenant's Contractors pursuant to this Section 4 shall be deemed to be under all
of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Lease except the
covenant to pay Rent.
