To the extent not caused by Tenant, Landlord hereby releases Tenant from and against all damages, claims and causes of action arising out of or relating to any breach of the Lease caused by the New Tenant in connection with its occupancy of the First Reduction Space prior to the First Reduction Effective Date (in the case of any breach of the Lease caused by both Tenant and New Tenant, the release set forth above shall not constitute a release of Tenant for a breach of the Lease caused by Tenant).

To the extent not caused by Tenant, Landlord hereby releases Tenant from and against all damages, claims and causes of action arising out of or relating to any breach of the Lease caused by the New Tenant in connection with its occupancy of the Second Reduction Space prior to the Second Reduction Effective Date (in the case of any such breach of the Lease caused by both Tenant and New Tenant, the release set forth above shall not constitute a release of Tenant for a breach of the Lease caused by Tenant.

As of the First Reduction Effective Date, the First Reduction Space shall be deemed surrendered by Tenant to Landlord, the Lease shall be deemed terminated with respect to the First Reduction Space, and the "Premises", as defined in the Lease, shall be deemed to mean the Original Premises, less the First Reduction Space; provided, if Tenant shall violate any provision hereof or if Tenant's representations herein shall be false or materially misleading, Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to declare this Amendment null and void and to reinstate the Lease with respect to the First Reduction Space in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies available to Landlord. (ii) Effective as of January 1, 2003 (the "Second Reduction Effective Date"), the Premises is decreased from 123,684 rentable square feet on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th floors to 92,763 rentable square feet on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors by the elimination of the Second Reduction Space.

Such holdover amount shall not be in limitation of Tenant's liability for consequential or other damages arising from Tenant's holding over nor shall it be deemed permission for Tenant to holdover in the Reduction Spaces. If Landlord shall install a wall separating the Reduction Spaces from the balance of the Premises or otherwise incur expense in installing separate utility meters or effecting similar separations, Tenant, upon demand, shall reimburse Landlord's reasonable costs in connection therewith. 3 II.

All such Base Rental shall be payable by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease. III. TENANT'S PRO RATA SHARE.

For the period commencing on the Second Reduction Effective Date and ending on the Early Termination Date (as defined below), Tenant's Pro Rata Share is decreased from 26.5980% to 19.9485%. Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, Tenant shall remain liable for all year-end adjustments with respect to Tenant's Pro-Rata Share of Basic Costs and Taxes applicable to the Reduction Spaces for that portion of the calendar year preceding the First Reduction Effective Date, Second Reduction Effective Date and the Early Termination Date (defined below). Such adjustments shall be paid at the time, in the manner and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Lease, unless otherwise specified herein. IV. ADDITIONAL SECURITY DEPOSIT. On or before the date the first installment of the Termination Fee is due and payable pursuant to Section V.F below, Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $2,096,666.67 (the "Additional Security Deposit") which is added to and becomes part of the Security Deposit currently held by Landlord as provided under Section 9 of the Lease as security for payment of Rent and the performance of the other terms and conditions of the Lease by Tenant, other than those obligations arising out of the Termination Fee payable by Tenant hereunder, as defined below. Accordingly, the Security Deposit shall be increased from $803,333.33 (which is in the form of (x) an irrevocable Letter of Credit in the amount of $668,333.33, which Letter of Credit shall immediately be extended, by amendment, for no less than 60 days and then substituted or consolidated into a single letter of credit with the Additional Letter of Credit (defined below), and (y) cash in the amount of $135,000.00) to $ 2,900,000.00. The Additional Security Deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit (the "Additional Letter of Credit"), which Additional Letter of Credit shall: (a) be in the amount of $2,096,666.67; (b) be issued on substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT C; (c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; and (d) be drawn on an FDIC insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord. The Additional Letter of Credit (and any renewals or replacements thereof) shall be for a term of not less than 1 year or for a term expiring 45 days after the Early Termination Date, if less than one year remains on the Lease. Tenant agrees that it shall from time to time, as necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Additional Letter of Credit by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of the expiration of the Additional Letter of Credit then in effect, renew or replace the original and any subsequent Additional Letter of Credit so that an Additional 4 Letter of Credit, in the amount required hereunder, is in effect until a date which is at least 45 days after the Early Termination Date of the Lease. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement Additional Letter of Credit at least 45 days prior to the stated expiration date of the Additional Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, Landlord may draw upon such Additional Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) as a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of Section 9 of the Lease. Any renewal or replacement of the original or any subsequent Additional Letter of Credit shall meet the requirements for the original Additional Letter of Credit as set forth above, except that such replacement or renewal shall be issued by an FDIC insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord at the time of the issuance thereof. Subject to the remaining terms of this Section IV, and provided Tenant has timely paid all Rent due under this Lease during the period immediately preceding the effective date of any reduction of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit (i.e., the Additional Letter of Credit and existing Letter of Credit) so that the total reduced Security Deposit secured by the Letter of Credit and Additional Letter of Credit amounts will be as follows: (i) $2,200,000.00 effective as of April 1, 2004; (ii) $1,475,000.00 effective as of July 1, 2004; and (iii) $750,000.00 effective as of October 1, 2004. If Tenant is not entitled to reduce the Security Deposit (i.e., the Letter of Credit and the Additional Letter of Credit) as of a particular reduction effective date due to Tenant's failure to timely pay all Rent during the months prior to that particular reduction effective date, then any subsequent reduction(s) Tenant is entitled to hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of the reduction Tenant would have been entitled to had Tenant timely paid all Rent during the months prior to that particular earlier reduction effective date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant has been in default under this Lease at any time prior to the effective date of any reduction of the Security Deposit and Tenant has failed to cure such default within any applicable cure period, then Tenant shall have no further right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit (i.e. the Letter of Credit and the Additional Letter of Credit) as described herein. Any reduction in the Letter of Credit and the Additional Letter of Credit shall be accomplished by Tenant providing Landlord with a substitute letter of credit in the reduced amount. V. TERMINATION. A. Effective as of December 31, 2004 (the "Early Termination Date") and subject to the agreements, representations, warranties and indemnities contained in this Amendment, including, without limitation, payment of the Termination Fee described in Section V.F below, the Lease is terminated and the Term of the Lease shall expire with the same force and effect as if the Term was, by the provisions thereof, fixed to expire on the Early Termination Date.

E. Tenant represents and warrants that (a) Tenant is the rightful owner of all of the Tenant's interest in the Lease; (b) Tenant has not made any disposition, assignment, sublease, or conveyance of the Lease or Tenant's interest therein; (c) Tenant has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance which would give rise to any claim, demand, obligation, liability, action or cause of action against Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties arising out of or in connection with Tenant's occupancy of the Premises; (d) no other person or entity has an interest in the Lease, collateral or otherwise; and (e) there are no outstanding contracts for the supply of labor or material and no work has been done or is being done by, for, or at the direction of Tenant, in, to or about the Premises which has not been fully paid for and for which appropriate waivers of mechanics' liens have not been obtained.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS. A. This Amendment and the attached exhibits, which are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment, set forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements. Under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any Rent abatement (other than as expressly provided in the Lease), improvement allowance, leasehold improvements, or other work to the Premises, or any similar economic incentives that may have been provided Tenant in connection with entering into the Lease, unless specifically set forth in this Amendment. Tenant agrees that neither Tenant nor its agents or any other parties acting on behalf of Tenant shall disclose any matters set forth in this Amendment or disseminate or distribute any information concerning the terms, details or conditions hereof to any person, firm or entity without obtaining the express written consent of Landlord. Except (i) to the extent required by any applicable Securities and Exchange Commission requirements, or any applicable Federal or State securities laws (collectively, the "Securities Laws"), or (ii) to the extent necessary to be disclosed to Tenant's accountant, banks, attorneys, advisors or others in connection with Tenant's business, all of whom shall be subject to and bound by the same confidentiality obligations contained herein, or (iii) to the extent necessary to be disclosed in Tenant's financial statements, or (iv) to the extent required by applicable law, court order or other legal discovery, Tenant agrees that neither Tenant nor its agents or any other parties acting on behalf of Tenant shall disclose any matters set forth in this Amendment or disseminate or distribute any information concerning the terms, details or conditions hereof to any person, firm or entity without obtaining the express written consent of Landlord and, if Tenant is required by the Securities Laws or court order or subpoena or other legal discovery to disclose any information contained in this Amendment, Tenant will give Landlord written notice of such requirement promptly upon Tenant becoming aware of same and in any event prior to making any disclosure pursuant thereto, and Tenant will cooperate with Landlord in Landlord's seeking (if Landlord chooses to do so) a protective order or other appropriate relief as Landlord may reasonably request.
