as the term "Master Premises" and the Sublease shall be deemed amended
accordingly. All terms and agreements contained in the Sublease shall apply to
the Additional Sublease Premises demised herein with the same force and effect
as if the same had been set forth herein, except as otherwise expressly provided

1
Subtenant thereof, and the Additional Sublease Premises Term shall end, unless
sooner terminated as provided herein, on December 31, 2001 ("Additional Sublease
Premises Expiration Date") provided, however, that in the event Sublandlord
shall have failed to vacate the Additional Sublease Premises on or before
November 15, 2001 or Landlord shall have failed to consent to this First
Amendment on or before November 15, 2001, then Subtenant shall have the right to

will remove all of its moveable personal property from the Additional Sublease
Premises prior to vacating the same.
