H.    The parties now desire to further amend the Subdivided Lease.

NOW THEREFORE the Subdivided Lease is hereby amended as follows:

1.    Subsection 3.2.1 of the Subdivided Lease is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

2




3.2.1 Adjustment Dates. In order to adjust the annual Ground Rent for parcels 1 and 2, the fair market land value of each parcel and the prevailing rate of return shall be determined as of January 1, 1998 and January 1, 2001 and every five (5) years thereafter for parcel 1 and July 1, 1997 and January 1, 2001 for parcel 2 and every five (5) years thereafter. The Ground Rent shall be adjusted accordingly on the first day of each sixth year. Said dates of adjustment of Ground Rent shall be referred to for convenience as “adjustment dates.”

2.    Subsection 3.2.4 of the Subdivided Lease is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

3.2.4    Maximum Rent Adjustment. The adjustment, if any, in Ground Rent for parcels upon which one or more buildings have been constructed at the time of any adjustment date shall be limited as set forth below:

3.2.4.1    Allocation to Parcels. At the time of execution of the Lease, the Ground Rent shall be allocated between the parcels within the Premises in the manner set out in subsection 3.1.2. The percentage of rent attributable to each parcel shall remain in effect during the term of the Subdivided Lease unless parcel areas change.

3.2.4.2    Base Period. The Base Period for a parcel shall be the first twelve (12) calendar month period after the point in time when eighty percent (80%) of the rentable space on the particular parcel is first leased. The Base Period for Parcel 1 is hereby established to be the twelve (12) month period from 8/1/88 to 7/31/89; and the Base

3


Period for Parcel 2 is hereby established to be the twelve 2 (12) month period from 6/1/88 to 5/31/89.

3.2.4.3    Comparison Year Period. The Comparison Year Period for a parcel shall be the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the applicable Ground Rent adjustment date.

3.2.4.4    Weighted Average Sublease Monthly Rental Rate. For each parcel, the Weighted Average Sublease Monthly Rental Rate for each applicable Base Period or Comparison Year Period shall be determined as follows.

a.    Each of the subleases in existence during a particular Base Period or Comparison Year Period shall be categorized as a full service gross lease. To the extent that any of the sublease agreements are other than a full service gross lease, the base monthly rent under such sublease shall be converted to an equivalent full service gross lease by increasing such base monthly rent by the amount of expenses paid directly by the subtenant that normally would be paid by the landlord under a full service gross lease during the first year of occupancy. The base rent paid under a full service gross sublease or other type of lease in which the base rent is converted as provided herein is defined as the “base rent”. If during a particular Base Period or Comparison Year Period there is a sublease(s), other than a full service gross lease, Developer shall, within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s written request, which request may only occur after the expiration of the first nine (9) months of a Comparison

4


Year Period, deliver to Landlord information identifying expense items and the amounts thereof which have been paid by a subtenant under such sublease and have been added to the base monthly rental thereunder to convert such sublease to an equivalent full service gross lease. In addition, such information shall also include the amount of any excess tenant improvement amortizations or other similar concessions or considerations that Developer has received and excluded from base rent.

b.    For each sublease on a particular parcel, the total base rent stabilized to exclude excess tenant improvement amortization or other similar concessions or considerations, due to and to be received by Developer over the entire term of such sublease (said term shall specifically exclude any unexercised option periods and said base rent shall only include fixed rental increases) shall be computed and then divided by the rentable square footage of said sublease space, and the result shall then in turn be divided by the total number of months of said sublease term. The resulting amount shall be deemed to be the Average Sublease Monthly Rental Rate for that particular sublease. Each such amount shall then be weighted by multiplying it by the quotient resulting from dividing the sublease’s total rentable square footage by the total rentable square footage under sublease resulting in the Weighted Average Sublease Monthly Rental Rate for each sublease. The sum of all such amounts shall be the Total Weighted Average Sublease Monthly Rental Rate.

5




3.2.4.5    Sublease Rental Percentage Change. The Sublease Rental Percentage Change for each parcel shall be determined by calculating the average percentage change of the Total Weighted Average Sublease Monthly Rental Rates between the Base Period and the applicable Comparison Year Period. Said average percentage change calculation shall be performed as follows:

a.    The Base Period Total Weighted Average Sublease Monthly Rental Rate shall be subtracted from the Comparison Year Period Total Weighted Average Sublease Monthly Rental Rate, and then dividing that result by the Base Period Total Weighted Average Sublease Monthly Rental Rate.

3.2.4.6    Adjusted Ground Rent. The “Adjusted Ground Rent” for each parcel at any given adjustment date shall be the lesser of the Adjusted Fair Market Rental Value for such parcel as determined in subsection 3.2.2 above or the initial Ground Rent for such parcel plus the product of the Sublease Rental Percentage Change determined in 3.2.4.5 above times the initial Ground Rent for such parcel.

3.2.4.7    Sale or Assignment of Leasehold Interest. Should the Developer sell, assign or otherwise transfer its leasehold interest to an owner-user such that sublease rental is not paid to Developer, the fair market sublease rental for such building, using the criteria and methods set out in subsection 3.2.2, shall become the basis for calculating the maximum rental adjustment using the process described in subsection 3.2.4.5 above.

6




3.2.4.8 ARBITRATION OF DISPUTE. ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN LANDLORD AND DEVELOPER CONCERNING THE CONVERSION OF A SUBLEASE TO AN EQUIVALENT FULL SERVICE GROSS LEASE, OR THE EXCLUSION OF EXCESS TENANT IMPROVEMENT AMORTIZATIONS OR OTHER SIMILAR CONCESSIONS OR CONSIDERATIONS, AS DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION 3.2.4.4a ABOVE, SHALL BE DECIDED BY NEUTRAL BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, RATHER THAN BY COURT ACTION.
