           D. Tenant desires to surrender a portion of the Premises comprising

           G. Tenant filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy on February 2,
2002 (the "Petition Date") seeking reorganization under federal bankruptcy law
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
"Bankruptcy Court") in the Chapter XI proceeding Case No. 02-10497.

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements
hereinafter contained, it is mutually covenanted and agreed as follows:

           1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the
Original Lease.

           2. Surrender of Surrendered Premises.

                     (a) On the First Effective Date (as hereinafter defined),
in the case of the 20th Floor Surrendered Premises, and on the Second Effective
Date (as hereinafter defined), in the case of 21st Floor Surrendered Premises,
Tenant shall surrender to Landlord, and Landlord shall accept the surrender of,
the 20th Floor Surrendered Premises and the 21st Floor Surrendered Premises, as
the case may be, and the Original Lease is amended so that the term of the
Original Lease in respect of the 20th Floor Surrendered Premises shall expire on
the First Effective Date and in respect of the 21st Floor Surrendered Premises
shall expire on the Second Effective Date in the same manner and with the same
effect as if each such date were the date set forth in the Original Lease for
the expiration of the term thereof. Time is of the essence in Tenant's
surrendering each portion of the Surrendered Premises on the Effective Date
applicable thereto except that each Effective Date shall be extended by any
delay encountered by Tenant in vacating the Surrendered Premises by any cause
beyond Tenant's reasonable control affecting the operation of the Building,
including a strike of employees at the Building or mechanical breakdown ("Tenant
Unavoidable Delays"). For the purpose hereof, "First Effective Date" shall mean
the date which is the later to occur of (x) May 1, 2003 and (y) the date the
Bankruptcy Court shall have approved (1) this Agreement and the assumption by
Tenant of the Lease, (2) the payment of all obligations due under this Agreement
and (3) the payment of all unpaid obligations of Tenant accruing under the Lease
prior to (i) the Petition Date and (ii) the date of the approval of such
assumption, and "Second Effective Date" shall mean the date which is the earlier
to occur of (x) the Substitution Date (as defined in Article 38 of the Lease)
and (y) the date which is the later to occur of (i) the date Landlord notifies
Tenant that Landlord shall not exercise its right to relocate Tenant pursuant to
Article 38 of the Lease and (ii) the date Landlord substantially completes the
construction of a common corridor to serve the 21st floor of the Building as
more particularly shown on Exhibit B. The First Effective Date and the Second
Effective Date are hereinafter referred to individually as an "Effective Date"
and collectively as the "Effective Dates".

                     (b) Condition of the Surrendered Premises. On or before the
applicable Effective Date, time being of the essence with respect to such date,
Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's personal property, trade fixtures, signs and
equipment from the Surrendered Premises in question and vacate such Surrendered
Premises and deliver vacant possession thereof to Landlord "As Is", except
Tenant shall repair any significant damage to the Surrendered Premises and any
damage to the Building in either case caused by the removal of Tenant's personal
property, trade fixtures, signs and equipment from the Surrendered Premises. The
foregoing shall satisfy all of Tenant's obligations under the Original Lease


                                       2
<PAGE>
with respect to the condition required upon delivery of possession of the
Surrendered Premises by Tenant at the expiration of the term thereof. Without
limiting Tenant's obligations set forth above, any personal property, fixtures,
installations or other property remaining in either portion of the Surrendered
Premises after the Effective Date in respect thereof shall be deemed abandoned
by Tenant and Landlord may take possession thereof and retain the same as
Landlord's property or dispose of same at Tenant's reasonable expense in any
manner Landlord determines without accountability therefor to Tenant.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, in no event shall
Tenant have any obligation to remove any work stations built into the 20th Floor
Surrendered Premises.

           3. Payment. In consideration of the surrender described in Section 2,
Tenant shall pay Landlord (a) $2,600,000 within 5 days after the First Effective
Date in lawful money of the United States by wire transfer of funds to
Landlord's account, as designated by Landlord, or by bank or certified check,
(b) $150,000 within 5 days after the First Effective Date in lawful money of the
United States in the same manner as provided above to compensate Landlord for
the cost of installing a common corridor on the 21st floor of the Building,
redemising the premises located on such floor and performing other related
construction work, (c) $33,187.23 within 5 days after the First Effective Date
in lawful money of the United States in the same manner as provided above on
account of prepetition arrears, and (d) $14,960.11 within 5 days after the First
Effective Date in lawful money of the United States in the same manner as
provided above on account of a deficiency in Tenant's Operating Payments for
2002. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have the right to apply the proceeds of
Tenant's letter of credit previously drawn down by Landlord to the above
amounts. Any excess amounts, after taking into account the amount of the new
security deposit (being the reduced amount specified Section 10(c)(i)), will be
paid to Tenant.

           4. Absence of Encumbrances. Tenant hereby represents and covenants
that as of the Effective Date in respect of each portion of the Surrendered
Premise nothing will done or suffered whereby the Original Lease in respect of
such portion of the Surrendered Premises, or the term or estate thereby granted
in respect of such portion of the Surrendered Premises, or such portion of the
Surrendered Premises, or any part thereof, or any alterations, decorations,
installations, additions and improvements in and to such portion of the
Surrendered Premises, or any part thereof, will be encumbered in any way
whatsoever, and that as of each Effective Date Tenant will own the Original
Lease in respect of the Surrendered Premises in question and will have good
right to surrender the same on the Effective Date in question, and that as of
such Effective Date no one will have acquired through or under Tenant any right,
title or interest in or to such portion of the Surrendered Premises and there
shall be no subtenants, licensees or occupants of such portion of the
Surrendered Premises, or any part thereof, or in or to said alterations,
decorations, installations, additions and/or improvements or any part thereof.

           5. Release of Obligations. Landlord shall accept the surrender of
each portion of the Surrendered Premises as of the Effective Date applicable
thereto and in consideration of such surrender by Tenant and of the acceptance
of such surrender by Landlord, Tenant and Landlord do hereby mutually release
each other, their respective successors and assigns (and, in the case of Tenant,
Tenant's officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, managers, agents
and employees, and, in the case of Landlord, Landlord's officers, directors,
shareholders, members, partners, managers, agents and employees) of and from any
and all claims, damages, obligations, liabilities, actions and causes of action,


                                       3

of every kind and nature whatsoever arising under or in connection with the
Original Lease in respect of such portion of the Surrendered Premises from and
after the Effective Date applicable thereto, except that nothing herein

the Original Lease in respect of the Surrendered Premises or this Agreement and
outstanding and unsatisfied on the Effective Date applicable to the portion of
the Surrendered Premises being surrendered (including, without limitation, any
deficiency in Tenant's Operating Payment in respect of such portion of the
Surrendered Premises for the 2002 calendar year), (ii) to a third party (under
the indemnification provisions of the Lease or otherwise) arising prior to, on

other amounts that may be payable by Tenant under the Lease in respect of the
Surrendered Premises on account of Taxes or Operating Expenses for any period

           6. Brokerage. Landlord and Tenant each covenants, represents and
warrants to the other that it has had no dealings or communications with any
broker or agent in connection herewith other than Tishman Speyer Properties,
L.P., PBS Realty Advisors, LLC and Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. Landlord and Tenant
each agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the other from and against any and

attorneys' fees and disbursements) or liabilities for any compensation,
commission or other charge claimed by any broker or agent claiming to have dealt
with the indemnifying party other than Tishman Speyer Properties, L.P., PBS

           7. Holdover. If Tenant shall fail to surrender either portion of the
Surrendered Premises pursuant to this Agreement, then Tenant shall be deemed to
be a holdover in respect of the entirety of such portion of the Surrendered
Premises and be subject to all of Landlord's rights and remedies set forth in


                                       4
<PAGE>
the Lease and this Agreement, and Landlord may pursue against Tenant any and all
remedies available to it as landlord under the Lease or this Agreement or
otherwise, at law or in equity. The provisions of Section 22.2 of the Original
Lease shall apply separately to each portion of the Surrendered Premises.

           8. Transfer Taxes. Landlord and Tenant shall promptly prepare,
execute and file such returns, affidavits and other documentation, if any, as

           9. 21st Floor Work. If Landlord elects not to exercise its right to
relocate Tenant from the Retained 21st Floor Premises pursuant to Article 38 of
the Lease, Landlord shall demise the Retained 21st Floor Premises and construct

have access to the necessary portions of the 21st Floor Premises (as required to
perform the 21st Floor Work) at all reasonable times for the performance of the
21st Floor Work and for the storage of materials reasonably required in
connection therewith, and Tenant will use all commercially reasonable efforts to
minimize any interference with the performance of the 21st Floor Work. Landlord
shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with
Tenant's use and occupancy of the 21st Floor Premises during the performance of
the 21st Floor Work. Landlord shall install temporary plastic curtains within
the Retained 21st Floor Premises while performing the corridor work. Landlord
shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to store materials for the 21st
Floor Work on, and stage such work from, the side of the temporary plastic
curtains away from Tenant's business operations. Upon Landlord's request, given
in writing to Tenant at least 10 days' prior to the commencement of the 21st
Floor Work, Tenant shall vacate the portion of the 21st Floor Premises
designated by Landlord during the performance of the 21st Floor Work. Tenant

Tenant, in whole or in part, no relief from any of Tenant's other obligations
under the Lease, and no liability on the part of Landlord, by reason of
inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from the performance of
such work. The preceding sentence shall not be deemed a waiver of any claims for
personal injury or property damage caused by the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, as such claims may be limited by the terms of the
Original Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Landlord shall have the right to shut down and remove the condenser water pumps,
piping and ancillary equipment installed by Tenant and currently existing on the
20th and 21st floors on the earliest to occur of the date which is forty-five

                     on Exhibit G (the `15th Floor Substitute Space'), or other
                     space in the Building designated by Landlord located not
                     lower than the 7th floor of the Building if the Substitute
                     Space is located on the south side of the Building and not
                     lower than the 12th floor of the Building if the Substitute
                     Space is located on the north side of the Building and
                     having a rentable area substantially similar to the 15th
                     Floor Substitute Space (i.e., having not less than 7,125
                     rentable square feet and not more than 8,709 rentable
                     square feet) and at least 8 windows having either a
                     southern or northern (but located in the western half of
                     the Building) exposure. The 15th Floor Substitute Space
                     shall be deemed by Landlord and Tenant for all purposes of
                     this Lease to contain 7,917 rentable square feet.
                     Notwithstanding such substitution of space, this Lease and
                     all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions
                     contained in this Lease shall remain and continue in full
                     force and effect, except that on the Substitution Date the
                     Substitute Space shall be and be deemed to be part of the
                     Retained Premises (as defined in the 2nd Amendment), with
                     the same force and effect as if the Substitute Space were
                     originally specified in this Lease as the Retained 21st
                     Floor Premises (as defined in the 2nd Amendment) demised
                     hereunder.

                     any construction performed by any party pursuant to this
                     Lease means that such work has been completed as reasonably
                     determined by the architect responsible for such work, in
                     accordance with (i) the provisions of this Lease applicable
                     thereto, (ii) the plans and specifications for such work,

                     following the date of the Substitution Notice, Tenant shall
                     notify Landlord of the number of workstations and/or
                     offices Tenant requires in the Substitute Space and of any
                     other information that shall reasonably be required in
                     connection with the layout of the Substitute Space (the
                     `Substitute Space Requirements'). If requested by Tenant,
                     Landlord shall have Landlord's architect meet with Tenant
                     to assist Tenant in developing the Substitute Space
                     Requirements. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a layout
                     plan for the Substitute Space for Tenant's approval within
                     10 Business Days following Landlord's receipt of the
                     Substitute Space Requirements. Subject to the terms and
                     conditions contained herein, Landlord and Tenant shall
                     cooperate with each other and work together in good faith
                     and as promptly as practicable to finalize a layout for the
                     Substitute Space. Tenant shall respond to Landlord's
                     request for approval of the layout plan within 10 Business
                     Days of the submission thereof to Tenant, provided that
                     such 10 Business Day period may be extended for a
                     reasonable time (but in no event for more than 3 additional
                     Business Days) if Tenant determines, in its reasonable
                     discretion, to submit the layout plan for review to its
                     independent consulting engineer or architect. If Tenant
                     disapproves of all or a portion of the layout plan, Tenant
                     shall promptly notify Landlord of its reasons therefor in
                     reasonable detail, in which event Landlord shall revise the
                     layout plan and resubmit it to Tenant within 5 Business
                     Days after notice from Tenant. Tenant shall respond to
                     Landlord's request for approval of the revised layout plan
                     within 5 Business Days of submission. If Tenant falls to
                     respond to any layout plan or revision thereto submitted by
                     Landlord within 10 Business Days or 5 Business Days (as the
                     case may be) after receipt by Tenant, such plan or revision
                     thereto shall be deemed to be approved by Tenant if Tenant
                     fails to respond to a second request notice within 2
                     Business Days after the expiration of such 10 Business Day
                     or 5 Business Day period (as the case may be), provided
                     that all permits and approvals required to be issued by any
                     Governmental Authority as a prerequisite to the performance
                     of such Alterations are obtainable. Landlord shall have the
                     right to move any millwork, floor covering, cabinet work,
                     and any other decoration as well as telephone lines and any
                     other communication line and other reusable items, from the
                     Retained 21st Floor Premises to the Substitute Space.
                     Landlord shall relocate the cubicles existing in the
                     Retained 21st Floor Premises to the Substitute Space;
                     provided, however, that Tenant hereby agrees to reasonably
                     cooperate with Landlord in connection with such relocation,
                     including designing the layout of the Substitute Space to
                     accommodate such cubicles. Landlord's construction work
                     shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner.

<PAGE>
                     Landlord shall regularly update Tenant on the progress of
                     Landlord's Work. If Tenant requests that Landlord install
                     tile in the entrance to the Substitute Space rather than
                     carpet (the `Tile Option'), Tenant shall identify the type
                     and color of the tile at the same time that Tenant approves
                     the final layout plan. If such change increases the cost of
                     constructing Landlord's Work, Tenant shall bear such cost
                     and shall pay to Landlord, on demand, the amount by which
                     (A) the actual cost incurred by Landlord to construct
                     Landlord's Work, as so modified, exceeds (B) the actual
                     cost which would have been incurred by Landlord to
                     construct Landlord's Work in the absence of such change.

                                          (c) As soon as Landlord has
                     substantially completed preparing the Substitute Space as
                     set forth in Section 38.2(b), Tenant, upon 10 days' prior
                     written notice, shall, subject to Tenant Unavoidable
                     Delays, move to the Substitute Space at Landlord's
                     reasonable cost and expense, and upon failure of Tenant so
                     to move to the Substitute Space (subject to Tenant
                     Unavoidable Delays), Landlord, as Tenant's agent, may
                     remove Tenant from the Retained 21st Floor Premises to the
                     Substitute Space. The failure of Tenant to move to the
                     Substitute Space pursuant to this Article 38 within 10 days
                     after the expiration of such 10 days' notice shall, subject
                     to Tenant Unavoidable Delays, be an Event of Default, and
                     Tenant shall, subject to Tenant Unavoidable Delays, be
                     deemed to have held over in the Retained 21st Floor
                     Premises and Landlord may pursue against Tenant any and all
                     remedies available to it as landlord under this Lease,
                     including Section 22.2 as if such Section were separately
                     applicable to the Retained 21st Floor Premises, or
                     otherwise, at law or equity. Notwithstanding anything to
                     the contrary contained herein, if Tenant has elected the
                     Tile Option and the type and/or color of the tile requested
                     by Tenant is not readily available at the time Landlord is
                     ready to install same, and the substantial completion of
                     the Substitute Space is delayed as a result of the exercise
                     by Tenant of the Tile Option, the Substitute Space shall be
                     deemed substantially completed for all purposes of this
                     Lease as of the date that the Substitute Space would have
                     been substantially completed but for such delay.

                                          (d) Promptly after Tenant shall enter
                     into occupancy of the Substitute Space, Landlord
                     shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant's reasonable, direct,
                     out-of-pocket moving expenses, unless Landlord undertook to
                     move Tenant into the Substitute Space pursuant to Section
                     38.2(c) above. Tenant shall supply Landlord with
                     satisfactory evidence of direct out-of-pocket expenses
                     incurred by Tenant in moving from the Retained 21st Floor
                     Premises to the Substitute Space. Landlord shall reimburse
                     Tenant within 30 days after receipt of such evidence.

                                          (e) Tenant shall pay Landlord $300,000
                     for performing Landlord's Work, one-half of which
                     amount shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord
                     within 10 days after the giving of the Substitution Notice
                     and the remainder of which amount shall become due and
                     payable by Tenant to Landlord within 10 days after the
                     Substitution Date. Landlord shall have no obligation to
                     commence or thereafter proceed with Landlord's Work until
                     such time as Tenant shall have paid the first installment
                     of the amount due under this Section 38.1(e). If the
                     Substitution Date shall be delayed by reason of any delay
                     to the extent resulting from any act or omission of Tenant,
                     including Tenant's failure to timely respond to Landlord's
                     layout plan or to cooperate in the preparation of
                     Landlord's layout plan or to make the payment required by
                     the preceding sentence, the Substitute Space shall be
                     deemed substantially completed for the purposes of
                     determining the Substitution Date as of the date that the
                     Substitute Space would have been substantially completed
                     but for any such delay as determined by Landlord in its
                     sole discretion.

                               "Section 38.3 Following any substitution of space
                     pursuant to this Article 38, Landlord and Tenant, promptly
                     at the request of either party, shall execute and deliver a
                     supplementary agreement setting forth such substitution of
                     space, the Substitution Date and the change (if any) in the
                     Fixed Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share but the failure
                     of either party to execute and deliver such a supplementary
                     agreement shall not affect the rights of the parties under
                     this Lease."

                     (iv) The Original Lease is modified by attaching Exhibits G
and H hereto as Exhibits G and H to the Original Lease.

                     (v) Article 27 of the Original Lease is modified as to
Tenant by: (i) deleting the name "Beverly I. Katz" in clauses (a) and (b), and
replacing such name with "General Counsel"; and (ii) deleting the name and
address for Newman Tannenbaum Helpern Syracuse & Hirschtritt LLP in clause (d),
and replacing same with "Gursky & Ederer, LLP, 1350 Broadway, 11th Floor, New
York, New York 10018, Attention: Steven R. Gursky, Esq."

           11. Showing of 21st Floor Premises. After the First Effective Date
Landlord and Landlord's agents shall have the right to enter the 21st Floor
Premises at all reasonable times to show the 21st Floor Premises to prospective
lessees of the Building and to others. Tenant shall have the right to have a
representative present whenever Landlord elects to show the 21st Floor Premises
as aforesaid but Tenant's failure to make such representative available shall
not otherwise preclude or limit Landlord's right to show the 21st Floor
Premises. Tenant shall provide Landlord with access cards so that Landlord may
enter the 21st Floor Premises for the purposes of marketing the 21st Floor
Premises.

           12. Discontinuance of Audit. On the First Effective Date Tenant
agrees to discontinue any examination, audit and dispute of the accuracy of
Landlord's Statements as such Statements relate to Operating Expenses for any

<PAGE>
Comparison Year prior to the 2003 Comparison Year and acknowledges and agrees
that there shall be no adjustment at any time in Tenant's Operating Payments for
any such prior period, provided that Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant
reserves its right under the Lease to examine and dispute in accordance with the
terms of the Lease any Statement in respect of Operating Expenses for any
subsequent period. Tenant waives all rights to receive any payments, credits,
refunds, adjustments or other amounts that may be payable by Landlord under the
Lease in respect of the Premises on account of Taxes or Operating Expenses for
any period prior to the 2003 calendar year. Landlord waives all rights to
receive any payments, credits, refunds, adjustments or other amounts that may be
payable by Tenant under the Lease in respect of the Premises on account of Taxes
or Operating Expenses for any period prior to the 2003 calendar year except as
provided in Section 3(d).

           13. Amendments. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by
an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement or any
waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

           14. Representations. (i) Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord
that, as of the date hereof, (a) the Original Lease is in full force and effect
and has not been modified except as provided herein; (b) there are no defaults
existing under the Original Lease by Tenant, except that Tenant owes Landlord
$33,187.23 for pre-petition charges; (c) there exist no valid abatements, causes
