B. Tenant is desirous of extending by nineteen (19) months the term for

in certain other respects.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, the parties hereto modify the Lease as follows:
1. DEFINED TERMS. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this
Third Amendment of Lease, all defined terms contained in this Third Amendment
of Lease shall, for the purposes hereof, have the same meaning ascribed to them
in the Lease.
2. CONDITION OF ADDITIONAL SPACE AND EXPANSION SPACE. As of May 31,
2000, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted both the Additional Space and the
Expansion Space in their then "as is" physical condition and state of repair,
except for (i) any damage caused by Landlord, (ii) any damage that Landlord is
otherwise expressly required to repair under the Lease and (iii) fire and
casualty damage subject to and in accordance with Article 9 of the Lease. In
that regard, except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in the
Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to do any work or perform any services
with respect to the Additional Space and/or the Expansion Space or grant Tenant
any construction allowance.
3. EXTENSION OF ADDITIONAL SPACE AND EXPANSION SPACE TERMS. Pursuant to
the First Amendment, Tenant leased the 10,363 rentable square foot Additional
Space on the fifth (5th) floor of the Building for a period (defined as the
"Additional Space Term" in Paragraph 2. of the First Amendment) commencing on
September 8, 1994 and ending on September 30, 1999 (defined as the "Additional
Space Termination Date"). Pursuant to Paragraph 4. of the Second Amendment, the
Additional Space Termination Date of the Additional Space Term was changed from
September 30, 1999 to May 31, 2000. Notwithstanding anything contained to the
contrary in Paragraph 4.

of the Second Amendment, the Additional Space Termination Date shall be, and the
Additional Space Term shall end on, December 31, 2001. Similarly, the last day
of the term for the Expansion Space, measuring 17,862 rentable square feet,
shall also be December 31, 2001.
4. SURRENDER OF ADDITIONAL SPACE AND EXPANSION SPACE. Tenant shall deliver
both the Additional Space and the Expansion Space to Landlord by December 31,
2001 in the same physical condition and state of repair that would apply to them
as if December 31, 2001 were the Termination Date. December 31, 2001 is
hereinafter referred to as the "Scheduled Surrender Date". The earliest date
after the Scheduled Surrender Date by when Tenant has delivered to Landlord both
the Additional Space and the Expansion Space in the physical condition and state
of repair as required hereunder is hereinafter called the "Actual Surrender
Date". If the Actual Surrender Date fails to occur by the Scheduled Surrender
Date, then, Tenant shall be deemed a holdover tenant at sufferance for both the
Additional Space and the Expansion Space and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord
under Article 55 of the Lease as if the Scheduled Surrender Date were the
Termination Date. As of the Actual Surrender Date, Exhibit A to the Lease shall
be deemed to have excluded therefrom both the Additional Space and the Expansion
Space. Nothing in this Third Amendment of Lease shall be deemed to constitute a
release or discharge of Tenant with respect to any outstanding and unsatisfied
obligation or liability, whether unbilled or calculated, accrued or incurred
under the Lease, such as, but not limited to, Minimum Rent, Adjusted Minimum
Rent, additional rent and other charges payable by Tenant in connection with the
Additional Space and/or the Expansion Space, up to and including the Actual
Surrender Date.
