hereby agrees to provide to Landlord, within a reasonable period of time
following request therefor, any documentation relating to the Tenant Improvement
Work reasonably requested by Landlord’s lender of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance, including, without limitation, proposed budgets and Tenant’s Plans,
in order that such lender and Landlord may close the construction loan that is
required to fund the Tenant Improvement Allowance.”     b)   Section F of
Exhibit A to the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following text:

“F. Termination Right; Option to Purchase; Leasehold Mortgage. In the event that
on or prior to April 30, 2010 Landlord has not entered into loan documents with

the date notice of such termination has been sent to Landlord;
(b) the right to exercise the option to purchase set forth in Article 43 by
