                  (B) Upon execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall
pay to Owner the sum of THREE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN and 96/100
($3,147.96) DOLLARS as the monthly installment of Fixed Rent for the period

            THIRD: USE. (A) The Demised Premises shall be used by Tenant solely
for general and/or executive offices with the incidental right to use same as a
data center and for incidental storage and for no other purpose. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that no representations have been made to Tenant with
respect to the use, if any, to which the Demised Premises may be put.

                  (B) Tenant shall not use or occupy, or permit the use or
occupancy of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, for any purpose other
than the purpose specifically set forth in Paragraph A of this Article THIRD, or
in any manner which, in Owner's judgment, (a) shall adversely affect or
interfere with (i) any services required to be provided by Owner to Tenant or to
any other tenant or occupant of the Building, or (ii) the proper and economical
rendition of any such service, or (iii) the use or enjoyment or any part of the
Building by any other tenant or occupant, or (b) shall tend to impair the
character or dignity of the Building. Without limiting the aforesaid, Tenant
shall conduct its business and control its agents, employees, invitees and
visitors


                                       2
<PAGE>

in such manner as not to create any nuisance, or interfere with, annoy or
disturb Owner or any tenant, user or occupant of the Building.

                  (C) Without in any way limiting the generality of Section (B)
of this Article THIRD, Tenant shall not use or occupy, or sublet or permit the
use or occupancy of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, for use as a call
center. For the purposes of this Article, a call center is defined as any group
of one hundred (100) or more employees or other persons that primarily perform a
task involving in-bound or out-bound telephone conversations with customers for
the purpose of selling goods or services or responding to customer inquiries.
Excluded from this definition are functions that are dedicated to providing
technical assistance to existing customers.

            FOURTH: ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall not make any changes, additions,
improvements, alterations or other physical changes to the Demised Premises, the
Building or any portions thereof, or any of the systems therein or thereon
(referred to collectively as "Alterations" and singly as an "Alteration")
without the prior written consent of Owner in each instance, and in the event
that Owner grants such consent, such Alteration shall be made in compliance with
all Legal Requirements and performed in a manner and at such times as Owner
reasonably designates and such Alterations or installations shall not, in any
event, interfere with the use and operation of the Building by Owner or any
tenant, occupant or user thereof. Without limiting the aforesaid, Tenant agrees
that (a) prior to any Alterations by Tenant or the installation of any of
Tenant's equipment in the Demised Premises, Tenant shall submit detailed plans
and specifications of the planned Alteration or installation to Owner for
Owner's approval, provided that in no event will Owner's approval of such plans
be deemed a representation that they comply with applicable Legal Requirements,
and will not cause interference with communication operations of Owner, or any
tenant, user or occupant of the Building and any such Alterations shall be made
only in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Owner, (b) all
contractors performing any Alterations, modification or maintenance work on
behalf of Tenant at the Demised Premises or in the Building shall be subject to
the prior written approval of Owner prior to the commencement of such work,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Owner or its
agents employ any independent architect or engineer to examine any plans or
specifications submitted by Tenant to Owner in connection with any proposed
Alteration, Tenant agrees to pay to Owner a sum equal to any reasonable fees
incurred by Owner in connection therewith. Nothing in this Lease shall be
construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Owner, express or
implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or
material men, for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any material
for any specific Alteration to, or repair of, the Demised Premises, the
Building, or any part thereof. Any mechanic's or other lien filed against the
Building, or the Real Property, for work claimed


                                       3
<PAGE>

to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant or
any person claiming through or under Tenant or based upon any act or omission or
alleged act or omission of Tenant or any such person shall be discharged by
Tenant (by bond or otherwise) at Tenant's sole cost and expense, within twenty
(20) days after the filing of such lien.

            FIFTH: REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, maintain and take good care of (i) the Demised Premises and all
fixtures, installations and appurtenances contained therein and (ii) Tenant's
personal property and equipment, and all replacements and additions thereto and
Tenant shall make all repairs, structural or otherwise, foreseen or unforeseen
as and when needed to keep the Demised Premises, and Tenant's personal property
and equipment in good order and repair. Owner shall have no obligation to
maintain, repair, operate or safeguard Tenant's equipment.

            SIXTH: UTILITIES AND SERVICES: SECTION 6.01. ELECTRICITY: A. Owner,
at Owner's expense, shall redistribute or furnish electrical energy to or for
the use of Tenant in the Demised Premises for the operation of the lighting
fixtures and the electrical receptacles installed in the Demised Premises on the
Commencement Date. There shall be no specific charge by way of measuring such
electrical energy on any meter or otherwise, as the charge for the service of
redistributing or furnishing such electrical energy has been included in the
Fixed Rent on a so-called "rent inclusion" basis. The parties agree that
although the charge for the service of redistributing or furnishing electrical
energy is included in the Fixed Rent on a so-called "rent inclusion" basis, the
value to Tenant of such service may not be fully reflected in the Fixed Rent.
Accordingly, Tenant agrees that Owner may cause an independent electrical
engineer or electrical consulting firm, selected by Owner, to make a
determination, following the commencement of Tenant's normal business activities
in the Demised Premises, of the full value to Tenant of such services supplied
by Owner, to wit: the potential electrical energy supplied to Tenant annually
based upon the estimated capacity of the electrical feeders, risers and wiring
and other electrical facilities serving the Demised Premises. Such engineer or
consulting firm shall certify such determination in writing to Owner and Tenant.
If it shall be determined that the full value to Tenant of such service is in
excess of FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED TWELVE and 50/100 ($4,112.50) DOLLARS (such
sum is referred to as the "Electrical Inclusion Factor"), the parties shall
enter into a written supplementary agreement, in form satisfactory to Owner,
modifying this Lease as of the Commencement Date by increasing the Fixed Rent
and the Electrical Inclusion Factor for the entire Demised Term by an annual
amount equal to such excess. However, if it shall be so determined that the full
value to Tenant of such service does not exceed the Electrical Inclusion Factor,
no such agreement shall be executed and there shall be no increase or decrease
in the Fixed Rent or the Electrical Inclusion


                                       4
<PAGE>

Factor by reason of such determination. If either the quantity or character of
electrical service is changed by the corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies)
selected by Owner to supply electrical service to the Building or is no longer
available or suitable for Tenant's requirements, no such change, unavailability
or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole
or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve
Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability
upon Owner, or its agents, by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or
injury to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise.

                  B. Owner represents that the electrical feeder or riser
capacity serving the Demised Premises on the Commencement Date shall be adequate
to serve the lighting fixtures and electrical receptacles installed in the
Demised Premises on the Commencement Date. Subject to the provisions of
Subsection C(1) of this Section 6.01, any additional feeders or risers to supply
Tenant's additional electrical requirements, and all other equipment proper and
necessary in connection with such feeders or risers, shall be installed by Owner
upon Tenant's request, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, provided that, in
Owner's judgment, such additional feeders or risers are necessary and are
permissible under applicable laws (including, but not limited to, the New York
State Energy Conservation Construction Code) and insurance regulations and the
installation of such feeders or risers will not cause permanent damage or injury
to the Building or the Demised Premises or cause or create a dangerous or
hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations or repairs
or interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants of the Building. Tenant
covenants that at no time shall the use of electrical energy in the Demised
Premises exceed the capacity of the existing feeders or wiring installations
then serving the Demised Premises. Tenant shall not make or perform, or permit
the making or performance of, any Alterations to wiring installations or other
electrical facilities in or serving the Demised Premises or any additions to the
business machines, office equipment or other appliances in the Demised Premises
which utilize electrical energy without the prior consent of Owner in each
instance. Any such Alterations, additions or consent by Owner shall be subject
to the provisions of Subsection C(1) of this Section 6.01, as well as to the
other provisions of this Lease including, but not limited to, the provisions of
Article FOURTH.

                  C. (1) If, at any time or times prior to or during the Demised
Term, electrical feeders, risers, wiring or other electrical facilities serving
the Demised Premises shall be installed by Owner, Tenant or others, on behalf of
Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant in addition to feeders,
risers, wiring or other electrical facilities necessary to serve the lighting
fixtures and electrical receptacles installed in the Demised Premises on the
Commencement Date, the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be
increased in an annual amount which shall reflect the value to Tenant of the
additional service to be furnished by Owner, to wit: the potential


                                       5
<PAGE>

additional electrical energy made available to Tenant annually based upon the
estimated capacity of such additional electrical feeders, risers, wiring or
other electrical facilities. The amount of any such increase in the Fixed Rent
and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be finally determined by an
independent electrical engineer or consulting firm selected by Owner who shall
certify such determination in writing to Owner and Tenant. Following such
determination, Owner and Tenant shall enter into a written supplementary
agreement, in form satisfactory to Owner, modifying this Lease by increasing the
Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor for the remainder of the Demised
Term in an annual amount equal to the value of such additional service as so
determined. Any such increase shall be effective as of the date of the first
availability to Tenant of such additional service and shall be retroactive to
such date if necessary.

                        (2) If, at any time or times after October 22, 2001, the
rate at which Owner purchases electrical energy from the corporation(s) and/or
other entity(ies) Owner has selected to supply electrical service to the
Building or any charges incurred or taxes payable by Owner in connection
therewith shall be increased or decreased, the Fixed Rent and the Electrical
Inclusion Factor shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, upon
demand of either party, in an annual amount which shall fairly and
proportionately reflect the estimated increase or decrease, as the case may be,
in the annual cost to Owner of purchasing electrical energy for the Building
provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
provisions of this Section 6.01 in no event shall (a) the Electrical Inclusion
Factor ever be decreased below the original amount thereof set forth in
Subsection A of this Section and (b) the Fixed Rent ever be decreased by more
than such decrease in the Electrical Inclusion Factor as so limited by the
provisions of the aforesaid Subdivision (a) of this Subsection C.(2). If, within
ten (10) days after any such demand, Owner and Tenant shall fail to agree upon
the amount of such increase or decrease, as the case may be, in the Fixed Rent
and the Electrical Inclusion Factor then, in lieu of such agreement, such
estimated increase or decrease, as the case may be, shall be finally determined
by an independent electrical engineer or consulting firm selected by Owner who
shall certify such determination in writing to Owner and Tenant. Following any
such agreement or determination, Owner and Tenant shall enter into a written
supplementary agreement, in form satisfactory to Owner, modifying this Lease by
increasing, or decreasing, as the case may be, the Fixed Rent and the Electrical
Inclusion Factor for the remainder of the Demised Term in an annual amount equal
to such estimated increase or decrease as so agreed or determined. Any such
increase or decrease in the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall
be effective as of the effective date of such increase or decrease, and shall be
retroactive to such date if necessary.


                                       6
<PAGE>

                        (3) Any increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to the
provisions of Subsection A of this Section or this Subsection C with respect to
the period from the effective date of such increase to the last day of the month
in which such increase shall be fixed by agreement or determination shall be
payable by Tenant upon demand of Owner. Any decrease in the Fixed Rent pursuant
to the provisions of this Subsection C with respect to the period from the
effective date of such decrease to the last day of the month in which such
decrease shall be fixed by agreement or determination shall be credited to
Tenant against the next monthly installment of the Fixed Rent. The monthly
installments of the Fixed Rent payable after the date upon which any such
increase or decrease is so fixed shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect
such increase or decrease in the Fixed Rent.

                  D. Owner may, at any time, elect to discontinue the
redistribution or furnishing of electrical energy. In the event of any such
election by Owner, (i) Owner agrees to give reasonable advance notice of any
such discontinuance to Tenant, (ii) Owner agrees to permit Tenant to receive
electrical service directly from the corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies)
Owner has selected to supply electrical service to the Building and to permit
the existing feeders, risers, wiring and other electrical facilities serving the
Demised Premises to be used by Tenant for such purpose to the extent they are
suitable and safely capable, (iii) Owner agrees to pay such charges and costs,
if any, as such corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) may impose in connection
with the installation of Tenant's meters, (iv) the Fixed Rent shall be
decreased, as of the date of such discontinuance, by an amount equal to the
Electrical Inclusion Factor to reflect such discontinuance; and (v) this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect and such discontinuance shall not
constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle
Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent except as expressly provided in
subdivision (iv) of this Subsection D, or relieve Tenant from any of its
obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner or its agents
by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption
of Tenant's business, or otherwise.

                  E. The following method of computation shall be employed by
any electrical engineer or electrical consulting firm selected by Owner pursuant
to the provisions of Subsection C(2) of this Section 6.01 in finally determining
any estimated increase or decrease in the Fixed Rent and the Electrical
Inclusion Factor, under the provisions of this Section resulting from the
corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) Owner has selected to supply electrical
service to the Building referred to individually and collectively as "The
Corporation") electrical rate and fuel charge changes and taxes (collectively
"Electrical Changes") payable in connection therewith:


                                       7
<PAGE>

                        (1) Owner's bills from The Corporation for the Building
for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Electrical Change in
question shall be averaged for demand and consumption (Kw and Kwh) and the rate
structure in effect immediately prior to the Electrical Change in question shall
be applied to such average demand and consumption factors of Owner's billings
for the Building for said twelve (12) month period resulting in an agreed
determination of the cost to Owner of electricity for the Building immediately
prior to the Electrical Change in question; and

                        (2) The new rate structure pursuant to which Owner is
billed by The Corporation, i.e., the rate structure which includes the
Electrical Change in question, shall be applied to the average demand and
consumption factors of Owner's billings for the Building for said twelve (12)
month period resulting in an agreed estimate of the cost to Owner by reason of
the Electrical Change in question; and

                        (3) The difference in the costs determined pursuant to
the foregoing subdivisions (1) and (2) shall be deemed to be the amount of the
estimated annual change in cost and the amount of such estimated annual change
in cost shall be divided by the cost determined pursuant to the foregoing
subdivision (1); and

                        (4) The resulting quotient shall be applied to Tenant's
then current Electrical Inclusion Factor to produce the increase or decrease in
the Fixed Rent and Electrical Inclusion Factor.

      (For example: Assume (1) an Electrical Change i.e. a rate increase; (2) an
application of the rate schedule in effect immediately prior to such Electrical
Change to the averaged electrical demand and consumption factors shown on
Owner's electrical bills for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding
such Electrical Change resulting in an estimated annual cost of $100,000.00; (3)
an application of the new rate schedule to the averaged electrical demand and
consumption factors shown on the bills in question resulting in an estimated
annual cost of $110,000.00; (4) deduction of the sum of $100,000.00 referred to
in step (2) from said sum of $110,000.00 referred to in step (3), resulting in a
difference of $10,000.00; and (5) that Tenant's Electrical Inclusion Factor was
$3,000.00. The $10,000.00 annual estimated increase for the Building, when
divided by $100,000.00, the estimated annual cost to Owner of electricity for
the Building prior to the Electrical Change in question, results in a quotient
of 10% which, when applied to Tenant's Electrical Inclusion Factor increases the
Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor by $300.00.)

                  F. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Lease, any sums payable or granted in any way by the corporation(s) and/or other


                                       8
<PAGE>

entity(ies) Owner has selected to supply electricity to the Building resulting
from the installation in the Demised Premises of energy efficient lamping,
special supplemental heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems or any
other Alterations, which sums are paid or given by way of rebate, direct
payment, credit or otherwise, shall be and remain the property of Owner, and
Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion thereof, unless such lamping,
supplemental heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems or other
Alterations were installed by Tenant, solely at Tenant's expense, without any
contribution, credit or allowance by Owner, in accordance with all of the
provisions of this Lease. Nothing contained in the foregoing sentence, however,
shall be deemed to obligate Owner to supply or install in the Demised Premises
any such lamping, supplemental heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
or other Alterations.

                  SECTION 6.02 ELEVATORS: If all or any portion of the Demised
Premises is located on other than the ground floor of the Building, Owner, at
Owner's expense, shall have a passenger elevator subject to call at all times.
Owner shall not be required to furnish any operator service for automatic
elevators. If Owner shall, at any time, elect to furnish operator service for
any automatic elevators, Owner shall have the right to discontinue furnishing
such service with the same effect as if Owner had never elected to furnish such
service.

                  SECTION 6.03 HEAT: Owner, at Owner's expense, shall furnish
heat to the Demised Premises, as and when required by law, on business days from
8:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.

                  SECTION 6.04 AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION: Owner, at
Owner's expense, shall furnish and distribute to the Demised Premises (i)
conditioned air at reasonable temperatures, pressures and degrees of humidity
and in reasonable volumes and velocities, on business days from 8:00 A.M. to
7:00 P.M. during the months of May, June, July, August, September and October
when required for the comfortable occupancy of the Demised Premises; and (ii)
mechanical ventilation through the Building air conditioning system on business
days from 8:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., except when conditioned air or heat is being
furnished, to the extent required pursuant to law. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section, Owner shall not be responsible if the normal
operation of the Building air conditioning system shall fail to provide
conditioned air at reasonable temperatures, pressures or degrees of humidity or
in reasonable volumes or velocities in any portions of the Demised Premises (a)
which, by reason of any machinery or equipment installed by or on behalf of
Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant, shall have an electrical
load in excess of four (4) watts per square foot of usable area for all purposes
(including lighting and power), or which shall have a human occupancy factor in
excess of one person per one hundred seventy-five (175) square feet of usable
area (the average electrical load and human occupancy


                                       9
<PAGE>

factors for which the Building air conditioning system is designed) or (b)
because of any rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or
performed by or on behalf of Tenant or any person claiming through or under
Tenant. Whenever said air conditioning system is in operation, Tenant agrees to
cause all the windows in the Demised Premises to be kept closed and to cause the
Venetian blinds in the Demised Premises to be kept closed if necessary because
of the position of the sun. Tenant agrees to cause all the windows in the
Demised Premises to be closed whenever the Demised Premises are not occupied.
Tenant shall cooperate fully with Owner at all times and abide by all
regulations and requirements which Owner may reasonably prescribe for the proper
functioning and protection of the air conditioning and ventilating system. In
addition to any and all other rights and remedies which Owner may invoke for a
violation or breach of any of the foregoing provisions of this Section, Owner
may discontinue heating, air conditioning and/or, if Owner so provides same,
ventilating service, during the period of such violation or breach, and such
discontinuance shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole
or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve
Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability
upon Owner, or its agents, by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or
injury to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise.

                  SECTION 6.05 CLEANING: (1) Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall
keep the Demised Premises in order, shall cause the Demised Premises to be
cleaned and shall cause Tenant's refuse and rubbish to be removed, all at
regular intervals in accordance with standards and practices adopted by Owner
for the Building. Tenant shall cooperate with any waste and garbage recycling
program of the Building and shall comply with all reasonable rules and
regulations of Owner with respect thereto. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall
cause all portions of the Demised Premises used for the storage, preparation,
service or consumption of food or beverages to be cleaned daily in a manner
satisfactory to Owner, and to be exterminated against infestation by vermin,
roaches or rodents regularly and, in addition, whenever there shall be evidence
of any infestation.

                        (2) Owner, at Owner's expense, shall clean the public
portions of the Building at regular intervals in accordance with practices and
standards adopted by Owner for the Building.

                        (3) The removal of refuse and rubbish and the furnishing
of office cleaning services to Tenant by persons other than Owner and its
contractors shall be performed in accordance with such regulations and
requirements as, in Owner's judgment, are necessary for the proper operation of
the Building, and Tenant agrees that Tenant will not permit any person to enter
the Demised Premises or the


                                       10
<PAGE>

Building for such purposes, or for the purpose of providing extermination
services required to be performed by Tenant pursuant to Subsection A of this
Section, other than persons first approved by Owner, such approval not
unreasonably to be withheld.

                  SECTION 6.06 WATER: If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water
for any purpose in addition to ordinary lavatory and drinking purposes, Owner
may install a hot water meter and a cold water meter and thereby measure
Tenant's consumption of water for all purposes. Tenant shall pay to Owner the
cost of any such meters and their installation, and Tenant shall keep any such
meters and any such installation equipment in good working order and repair, at
Tenant's cost and expense. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed as shown on
said meters, and sewer charges, taxes and any other governmental charges
thereon, as and when bills are rendered. In addition to any sums required to be
paid by Tenant for hot water consumed and sewer charges, taxes and any other
governmental charges thereon under the foregoing provisions of this Section,
Tenant agrees to pay to Owner, for the heating of said hot water, an amount
equal to three (3X) times the total of said sums required to be paid by Tenant
for hot water and sewer charges thereon. For the purposes of determining the
amount of any sums required to be paid by Tenant under this Section, all hot and
cold water consumed during any period when said meters are not in good working
order shall be deemed to have been consumed at the rate of consumption of such
water during the most comparable period when such meters were in good working
order.

                  SECTION 6.07 OVERTIME PERIODS: The Fixed Rent does not reflect
or include any charge to Tenant for the furnishing or distributing of any
necessary elevator facilities, heat, conditioned air or mechanical ventilation
to the Demised Premises during periods (referred to as "Overtime Periods") other
than the hours and days set forth above in this Article for the furnishing and
distributing of such services. Accordingly, if Owner shall furnish any such
elevator facilities, heat, conditioned air or mechanical ventilation to the
Demised Premises at the request of Tenant during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall
pay Owner for such services at the standard reasonable rates then fixed by Owner
for the Building or, if no such rates are then fixed, at reasonable rates. Owner
shall not be required to furnish any such services during Overtime Periods,
unless Owner has received reasonable advance notice from Tenant requesting such
services. If Tenant fails to give Owner reasonable advance notice requesting
such services during any Overtime Periods, then, whether or not the Demised
Premises are habitable during such Overtime Periods, failure by Owner to furnish
or distribute any such services during such Overtime Periods shall not
constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle
Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its
obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner or its agents
by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption
of Tenant's business or otherwise.

                  SECTION 6.08 OWNER'S RIGHT TO STOP SERVICE: Owner reserves the
right to stop the service of the heating, air conditioning, ventilating,
elevator, plumbing, electrical, communications or other mechanical systems or
facilities in the Building when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or
for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements, which, in the judgment
of Owner are desirable or necessary, until said repairs, alterations,
replacements or improvements shall have been completed. The exercise of such
right by Owner shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole
or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve
Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability
upon Owner or its agents by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or
injury to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise. Owner shall employ
reasonable diligence in attempting to restore the operation of any such systems
or facilities without any obligation, however, to employ labor at overtime or
other premium pay rates.

                  SECTION 6.09 PARKING LOT: The Real Property presently contains
a parking lot (referred to as the "Parking Lot") with 1,700 parking spaces.
Tenant shall be entitled to the nonexclusive use, in common with other tenants
and occupants of the Building and their business visitors, of the Parking Lot
solely for the parking of cars of Tenant's employees and business visitors on a
first come first serve basis. Owner shall have the right to reconfigure the
Parking Lot and add additional buildings in the Parking Lot and may increase or
reduce the number of spaces in the Parking Lot. No such reconfiguration,
additional buildings or reduction in the number of spaces in the Parking Lot for
any reason, including, but not limited to, the construction of additional
buildings therein or any acquisition or condemnation set forth in Article
TWELFTH, shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in
part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent or relieve Tenant
from any of its obligations under this Lease or impose any liability upon Owner,
or its agents, or upon any lessor under any superior lease, or upon the holder
of any mortgage. Tenant shall have no rights in and to the Parking Lot other
than the nonexclusive use, in common with other tenants and occupants and their
business visitors, for Tenant and Tenant's business visitors to park their cars
therein on a first come first serve basis. The Building Rules referred to in
Article NINETEENTH may, at Owner's election, cover the Parking Lot.

            SEVENTH: CONDITION OF THE DEMISED PREMISES: Tenant shall take the
Demised Premises in the condition that the Demised Premises shall be in on the
Commencement Date "as is" and Owner shall have no obligation to do any work or
perform any installations in order to prepare the Demised Premises for tenant's
occupancy.

            EIGHTH: END OF DEMISED TERM. Tenant shall vacate the Demised
Premises upon the Expiration Date broom clean and in good order and in the same
condition that the Demised Premises existed on the Commencement Date, ordinary
wear excepted, and Tenant shall, on or prior to the Expiration Date, remove all
of Tenant's personal property and all other property and effects of Tenant and
all persons claiming through or under Tenant from the Demised Premises and the
Building and Tenant shall repair all damage to the Demised Premises and the
Building occasioned by such removal. Owner shall have the right to retain any
property and effects of Tenant or such person which shall remain in the Demised
Premises after the Expiration Date and any net proceeds from the sale thereof,
without waiving any of Owner's rights with respect to any "Event of Default" (as
hereinafter defined) by Tenant. Tenant hereby expressly waives for itself and
for any person claiming through or under Tenant any rights which Tenant or any
such person may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil
Practice Law and Rules or any successor law of like import then in force in
connection with any holdover summary proceedings which Owner may institute to
enforce the foregoing provisions of this Article EIGHTH. If the date upon which
the Demised Term shall expire, terminate or end shall fall on a Sunday or
holiday, then Tenant's obligations under the first sentence of this Article
EIGHTH shall be performed on or prior to the Saturday or business day
immediately preceding such Sunday or holiday. Tenant's obligations under this
Article EIGHTH shall survive the Expiration Date.

            NINTH: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. SECTION 9.01. Tenant may not
assign or transfer this Lease, without the prior written consent of Owner in
each instance, which consent Owner may withhold in its sole discretion. The
sale, pledge, transfer or other alienation of (a) any of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of any corporate Tenant (unless such stock is publicly
traded on a recognized security exchange or over-the counter market) or (b) any
interest in any partnership or joint venture of Tenant, however accomplished,
and whether in a single transaction or in a series of related and/or unrelated
transactions, resulting in a change of more than forty-nine (49%) percent of the
then issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate Tenant (unless such
stock is publicly traded on a recognized security exchange or over-the-counter
market) or the interests in any partnership or joint venture of Tenant, however
accomplished, and whether in a single transaction or in a series of
related/unrelated transactions, shall be deemed, for the purposes of this
Article NINTH, as an assignment of this Lease which shall require the prior
consent of Owner in each instance.

                  SECTION 9.02. As long as Tenant is not in default under any of
the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed
and performed beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the
right without the prior consent of Owner, to permit the use or occupancy of all
or any part of the Demised Premises by any subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant
named herein for the use


                                       13
<PAGE>

permitted in this Lease only for such period as it shall remain such subsidiary
or affiliate. For the purposes of this Article: (a) a "subsidiary" of Tenant
named herein shall mean any corporation not less than fifty-one (51%) percent of
whose outstanding voting stock at the time shall be owned by Tenant named
herein, and (b) an "affiliate" of Tenant named herein shall mean any
corporation, partnership or other business entity which controls or is
controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant named herein. For the
purpose of the definition of "affiliate" the word "control" (including,
"controlled by" and "under common control with") as used with respect to any
corporation, partnership or other business entity, shall mean the possession of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of
such corporation, partnership or other business entity, whether through the
ownership of voting securities or contract. However, no such use and occupancy
shall be valid unless, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Owner of any such use
or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises and such use or
occupancy shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease. No such use or occupancy shall operate to vest in the
user or occupant any right or interest in this Lease or the Demised Premises.

                  SECTION 9.03 SUBLET RIGHTS: A. (1) As long as Tenant is not in
default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on
Tenant's part to be observed or performed, Owner agrees not to unreasonably
withhold Owner's prior consent to a subletting by Tenant of the entire Demised
Premises to one (1) subtenant for undivided occupancy by such subtenant, for the
use expressly permitted in this Lease i.e., as general offices for an
information technology business.

                        (2) Without Owner's prior consent, Tenant shall not (a)
negotiate or enter into a proposed subletting with any tenant, subtenant or
occupant of any space in the Building or (b) list or otherwise publicly
advertise the Demised Premises or any part thereof for subletting at a rental
lower than the rental at which the Owner is then offering to rent comparable
space in the Building.

                        (3) At least thirty (30) days prior to any proposed
subletting, Tenant shall submit to Owner a statement (the "Proposed Sublet
Statement") containing the name and address of the proposed subtenant, the
nature of the proposed subtenant's business and its current financial status, if
such status is obtained by Tenant, and all of the principal terms and conditions
of the proposed subletting including, but not limited to, the proposed
commencement and expiration dates of the term thereof.

                        (4) Owner may withhold consent to a proposed subletting
if, (a) in Owner's reasonable judgment,  the occupancy of the proposed


                                       14
<PAGE>

subtenant will tend to impair the character or dignity of the Building or impose
any additional burden upon Owner in the operation of the Building, or (b) in
Owner's reasonable judgment, the occupancy of the proposed subtenant will tend
to impair the reputation of (i) the Building as an information technology center
or (ii) the floor on which the Demised Premises are located as a floor devoted
to information technology tenants or (c) the proposed subtenant shall be a
person or entity with whom Owner is then negotiating or discussing to lease
space in the Building or (d) if Owner shall have any other reasonable objections
to such subletting.

                        (5) In the event of any dispute between Owner and Tenant
as to the reasonableness of Owner's failure or refusal to consent to any
subletting, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with
the provisions of Article TWENTY-THIRD.

                        (6) Tenant shall reimburse Owner on demand for any costs
or expense that may be incurred by Owner's review of any Proposed Sublet
Statement or in connection with any sublease consented to by Owner, including,
without limitation, any reasonable processing fee, reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements and the reasonable costs of making investigations as to the
acceptability of the proposed subtenant.

                  B. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
9.03, Owner shall have the following rights with respect to each proposed
subletting by Tenant:

                        (1) in the event Tenant proposes to sublet the Demised
Premises, whether or not such subletting is for all or substantially all of the
remainder of the Demised Term, Owner, at Owner's option, may give to Tenant,
within thirty (30) days after the submission by Tenant to Owner of the Proposed
Sublet Statement, a notice terminating this Lease on the date (referred to as
the "Earlier Termination Date") immediately prior to the proposed commencement
date of the term of the proposed subletting, as set forth in the Proposed Sublet
Statement, and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease and the Demised
Term shall come to an end and expire on the Earlier Termination Date with the
same effect as if it were the Expiration Date, the Fixed Rent shall be
apportioned as of said Earlier Termination Date and any prepaid portion of Fixed
Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Owner to Tenant; or

                        (2) In the event Tenant proposes to sublet the Demised
Premises for less than substantially all of the remainder of the Demised Term,
Owner, at Owner's option, may give to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the
submission by Tenant to Owner, of the Proposed Sublet Statement required to be
submitted in


                                       15
<PAGE>

connection with such proposed subletting, a notice electing to recapture the
Demised Premises during the period (referred to as the "Recapture Period")
commencing on the date (referred to as "Recapture Date") immediately prior to
the proposed commencement date of the term of the proposed subletting, as set
forth in the Proposed Sublet Statement, and ending on the proposed expiration
date of the term of the proposed subletting, as set forth in the Proposed Sublet
Statement, and in the event such notice is given the following shall apply:

                            (a) The  Demised  Premises  shall be  recaptured  by
                   Owner during the Recapture Period;

                            (b) Tenant shall  surrender the Demised  Premises to
                   Owner on or prior to the Recapture Date in the same manner as
                   if said Date were the Expiration Date;

                            (c) During the Recapture Period Tenant shall have no
                   rights  with   respect  to  the  Demised   Premises  nor  any
                   obligations with respect to the Demised Premises,  including,
                   but not limited to, any  obligations to pay Fixed Rent or any
                   increases  therein or any  additional  rent,  and any prepaid
                   portion of Fixed Rent allocable to the Recapture Period shall
                   be refunded by Owner to Tenant;

                            (d) There shall be an equitable apportionment of any
                   increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to Articles  TWENTY-FIRST
                   and  TWENTY-SECOND for the Escalation Year and Tax Escalation
                   Year (as defined in said  Articles)  in which said  Recapture
                   Date shall occur;

                            (e) Upon the expiration of the Recapture Period, the
                   Demised Premises,  in its then existing  condition,  shall be
                   deemed  restored  to Tenant and Tenant  shall have all rights
                   with respect to the Demised  Premises  which are set forth in
                   this Lease and all  obligations  with  respect to the Demised
                   Premises  which are set forth in this Lease,  including,  but
                   not limited to, the obligations for the payment of Fixed Rent
                   and any increases  therein and any  additional  rent (as they
                   would  have been  adjusted  if Tenant  occupied  the  Demised
                   Premises  during  the  Recapture  Period)  during  the period
                   (referred   to  as  the   "Recapture   Restoration   Period")
                   commencing on the date next  following the  expiration of the
                   Recapture Period and ending on the Expiration Date, except in
                   the event that Owner is unable to give Tenant  possession  of
                   the  Demised  Premises  at the  expiration  of the  Recapture
                   Period  by  reason  of  the  holding  over  or  retention  of
                   possession  of any tenant or other  occupant,  in which event


                                       16
<PAGE>

                   (x) the Recapture  Restoration  Period shall not commence and
                   the  Demised  Premises  shall  not be  deemed  available  for
                   Tenant's occupancy and Tenant shall not be required to comply
                   with the  obligations  of Tenant  under this Lease  until the
                   date upon which  Owner shall give  Tenant  possession  of the
                   Demised  Premises  free  of  occupancies,   (y)  neither  the
                   Expiration  Date  nor  the  validity  of this  Lease  nor the
                   obligations  of Tenant  under  this Lease  shall be  affected
                   thereby,  and (z) Tenant  waives  any rights to rescind  this
                   Lease and to recover  any  damages  which may result from the
                   failure  by  Owner  to  deliver  possession  of  the  Demised
                   Premises at the end of the Recapture Period;  Owner agrees to
                   institute,  within  thirty (30) days after the  expiration of
                   the  Recapture  Period,  possession  proceedings  against any
                   tenants and occupants who have not so vacated and surrendered
                   all or any  portions  of the Demised  Premises  and agrees to
                   prosecute such proceedings with reasonable diligence; and

                            (f) There shall be an equitable apportionment of any
                   increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to Articles  TWENTY FIRST
                   AND TWENTY SECOND for the Escalation  Year and Tax Escalation
                   Year  in  which  the  Recapture   Restoration   Period  shall
                   commence.

At the request of Owner, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or
instruments, in form satisfactory to Owner, setting forth any modifications to
this Lease contemplated in or resulting from the operation of the foregoing
provisions of this Subsection 9.03; however, neither Owner's failure to request
any such instrument nor Tenant's failure to execute or deliver any such
instrument shall vitiate the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section.
The failure by Owner to exercise any option under this Section 9.03 with respect
to any subletting shall not be deemed a waiver of such option with respect to
any extension of such subletting or any subsequent subletting of the premises
affected thereby or any other portion of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall
indemnify Owner from all loss, cost, liability, damage and expense, including,
but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, arising from any
claims against Owner by any broker or other person, for a brokerage commission
or other similar compensation in connection with any such proposed subletting,
in the event (a) Owner shall (i) fail or refuse to consent to any proposed
subletting, or (ii) exercise any of its options under this Section 9.03, or (b)
any proposed subletting shall fail to be consummated for any reason whatsoever.

                  C. Tenant agrees that (1) any increase in the rental value of
the Demised Premises over and above the Fixed Rent payable pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease, as such Fixed Rent may be increased from time to time
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and (2) any consideration paid to
Tenant or any subtenant or


                                       17
<PAGE>

other person claiming through or under Tenant in connection with an assignment
of Tenant's interest in this Lease or the interest of any subtenant or other
person claiming through or under Tenant under any sublease whether or not such
assignment shall be effected with court approval in a proceeding of the types
described in Article SIXTEENTH (A)(iii), or in any similar proceeding, or
otherwise, shall accrue to the benefit of Owner and not to the benefit of
Tenant, or of any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant, or
of the creditors of Tenant or of any such subtenant or other person claiming
through or under Tenant. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that if Owner shall fail to
exercise its option to sooner terminate this Lease or its option to recapture
the Demised Premises in connection with any proposed subletting by Tenant, or if
any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant shall sublet all
or any portion of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall pay to Owner a sum equal to
any Subletting Profit, as such term is hereinafter defined. All rentals and
other sums (including, but not limited to, sums payable for the sale or rental
of any fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal
property, less, in the case of the sale thereof, the then net unamortized [on a
straight-line basis over the term of this Lease or, in the event of a further
subletting, over the term of the initial sublease, as the case may be] cost
thereof, which were provided and installed in the sublet premises at the sole
cost and expense of Tenant or such subtenant or other person claiming through or
under Tenant and for which no allowance or other credit has been given by Owner)
payable by any subtenant to Tenant or to any subtenant or other person claiming
through or under Tenant in connection with any subletting in excess of the Fixed
Rent then payable by Tenant to Owner under this Lease are referred to, in the
aggregate, as "Subletting Profit"; in computing any Subletting Profit it shall
be deemed that the rental reserved under any such subletting shall commence to
accrue as of the commencement of the term of such subletting even if such rental
actually commences to accrue as of a date subsequent to such commencement and
there shall be deducted a reasonable single brokerage commission, if any such
commission shall be paid by Tenant or any such subtenant or other person
claiming through or under Tenant in connection with such subletting which
deduction for such reasonable single brokerage commission shall be amortized on
a straight line basis over the entire term of such subletting. Owner and Tenant
agree that if Tenant, or any subtenant or other person claiming through or under
Tenant, shall assign or have assigned its interest as Tenant under this Lease or
its interest as subtenant under any sublease as the case may be, whether or not
such assignment shall be effected with court approval in a proceeding of the
types described in Article SIXTEENTH (A)(iii), or in any similar proceeding, or
otherwise, Tenant shall pay to Owner a sum equal to any consideration paid to
Tenant or any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant for
such assignment. All sums payable hereunder to Tenant shall be paid to Owner as
additional rent immediately upon such sums becoming payable to Tenant or to any
subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant and, if requested by


                                       18
<PAGE>

Owner, Tenant shall promptly enter into a written agreement with Owner setting
forth the amount of such sums to be paid to Owner, however, neither Owner's
failure to request the execution of such agreement nor Tenant's failure to
execute such agreement shall vitiate the provisions of this Section. For the
purposes of this Section, a trustee, receiver or other representative of the
Tenant's or any subtenant's estate under any federal or state bankruptcy act
shall be deemed a person claiming through or under Tenant.

                  D. (1) Neither Owner's consent to any subletting nor anything
contained in this Section shall be deemed to grant to any subtenant or other
person claiming through or under Tenant the right to sublet all or any portion
of the Demised Premises or to permit the occupancy of all or any portion of the
Demised Premises by others. Neither any subtenant referred to in this Section
nor its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives,
successors nor assigns, without the prior consent of Owner in each instance,
shall (i) assign, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, mortgage or
encumber its interest in any sublease, in whole or in part, or (ii) sublet, or
permit the subletting of, that part of the Demised Premises affected by such
subletting or any portion thereof, or (iii) permit such part of the Demised
Premises affected by such subletting or any part thereof to be occupied or used
for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise, by any person other than such
subtenant and any sublease shall provide that any violation of the foregoing
provisions of this sentence shall be an event of default thereunder. The sale,
pledge, transfer or other alienation of (a) a controlling interest in the issued
and outstanding capital stock of any corporate subtenant (unless such stock is
publicly traded on any recognized security exchange or over-the-counter market)
or (b) a controlling interest in any partnership or joint venture subtenant,
however accomplished, and whether in a single transaction or in a series of
related or unrelated transactions, shall be deemed for the purposes of this
Section to be an assignment of such sublease which shall require the prior
consent of Owner in each instance and any sublease shall so provide.

                        (2) As long as Tenant is not in default under any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and
performed beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right
without the prior consent of Owner, to permit the use or occupancy of all or any
part of the Demised Premises by any subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant named
herein for the use permitted in this Lease only for such period as it shall
remain such subsidiary or affiliate. For the purposes of this Article: (a) a
"subsidiary" of Tenant named herein shall mean any corporation not less than
fifty-one (51%) percent of whose outstanding voting stock at the time shall be
owned by Tenant named herein, and (b) an "affiliate" of Tenant named herein
shall mean any corporation, partnership or other business entity which controls
or is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant named herein. For


                                       19
<PAGE>

the purpose of the definition of "affiliate" the word "control" (including,
"controlled by" and "under common control with") as used with respect to any
corporation, partnership or other business entity, shall mean the possession of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of
such corporation, partnership or other business entity, whether through the
ownership of voting securities or contract. However, no such use and occupancy
shall be valid unless, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Owner of any such use
or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises and such use or
occupancy shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease. No such use or occupancy shall operate to vest in the
user or occupant any right or interest in this Lease or the Demised Premises.

            TENTH: OWNER ACCESS. (A) (1) Owner and its agents shall have the
following rights in and about the Demised Premises: (i) to enter the Demised
Premises at all times to examine the Demised Premises or for any of the purposes
set forth in this Article TENTH or for the purpose of performing any obligation
of Owner under this Lease or exercising any right or remedy reserved to Owner in
this Lease, or complying with any Legal Requirement which Owner is obligated to
comply with hereunder, and if Tenant, its officers, partners, agents or
employees shall not be personally present or shall not open and permit an entry
into the Demised Premises at any time when such entry shall be necessary or
permissible, to use a master key or to forcibly enter the Demised Premises; (ii)
to erect, install, use and maintain pipes, ducts and conduits in and through the
Demised Premises; (iii) to exhibit the Demised Premises to others; (iv) to make
such decorations, repairs, alterations, improvements or additions, or to perform
such maintenance, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of all heating,
air conditioning, ventilating, elevator, plumbing, electrical, telecommunication
and other mechanical facilities, as Owner may deem necessary or desirable; (v)
to take all materials into and upon the Demised Premises that may be required in
connection with any such decorations, repairs, alterations, improvements,
additions or maintenance; and (vi) to alter, renovate and decorate the Demised
Premises at any time during the Demised Term if Tenant shall have removed all or
substantially all of Tenant's property from the Demised Premises. The lessors
under any superior lease and the holders of any mortgage shall have the right to
enter the Demised Premises from time to time through their respective employees,
agents, representatives and architects to inspect the same or to cure any
default of Owner or Tenant relating thereto. Owner shall have the right, from
time to time, to change the name, number or designation by which the Building is
commonly known which right shall include, without limitation, the right to name
the Building after any tenant of the Building.

                        (2)  Supplementing  the  provisions of this Paragraph A,
Owner,  agrees that,  except in cases of  emergency,  any entry upon the Demised


                                       20
<PAGE>

Premises shall be made at reasonable times, and only after reasonable advance
notice (which may be mailed, delivered or left at the Demised Premises,
notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Lease), and any work performed
or installations made by Owner shall be made with reasonable diligence and any
such entry, work or installations shall be made in a manner designed to minimize
interference with Tenant's normal business operations (however, nothing
contained in this Section shall be deemed to impose upon Owner any obligation to
employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other premium pay rates).

                  (B) OWNER'S RESERVATION OF RIGHTS TO PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING:
All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Demised Premises) of all
walls, windows and doors bounding the Demised Premises (including exterior
Building walls, core corridor walls, doors and entrances), all balconies,
terraces and roofs adjacent to the Demised Premises, all space in or adjacent to
the Demised Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, chutes, pipes,
conduits, ducts, fan rooms, heating, air conditioning, ventilating, plumbing,
electrical, telecommunication and other mechanical facilities, closets, service
closets and other Building facilities, and the use thereof, as well as access
thereto through the Demised Premises for the purposes of operation, maintenance,
alteration and repair, are hereby reserved to Owner. Owner also reserves the
right at any time to change the arrangement or location of entrances,
passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets and other
public parts of the Building, provided any such change does not permanently and
unreasonably obstruct Tenant's access to the Demised Premises. Nothing contained
in this Article TENTH shall impose any obligation upon Owner with respect to the
operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of the Demised Premises or the
Building.

                  (C) ACCESS TO THIRD PARTIES: Owner and its agents shall have
the right to permit access to the Demised Premises, whether or not Tenant shall
be present, to any receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
sheriff, marshal or court officer entitled to, or reasonably purporting to be
entitled to, such access for the purpose of taking possession of, or removing,
any property of Tenant or any other occupant of the Demised Premises, or for any
other lawful purpose, or by any representative of the fire, police, building,
sanitation or other department of the City, State or Federal Governments.
Neither anything contained in this Article TENTH, nor any action taken by Owner
under this Paragraph (C), shall be deemed to constitute recognition by Owner
that any person other than Tenant has any right or interest in this Lease or the
Demised Premises.

                  (D) NO ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE EVICTION: The exercise by Owner
or its agents or by the lessor under any superior lease or by the holder of any
mortgage of any right reserved to Owner in this Article TENTH shall not
constitute an actual or


                                       21
<PAGE>

constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement
or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this
Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner, or its agents, or upon any lessor
under any superior lease or upon the holder of any such mortgage, by reason of
inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant's
business, or otherwise.

            ELEVENTH: LEGAL COMPLIANCE: (A) Tenant agrees that its use of the
Demised Premises and the installation, operation and maintenance of Tenant's
personal property and equipment shall at all times, at Tenant's expense,
strictly comply with all applicable "Legal Requirements", and the orders and
requirements of all "Government Authorities". The term "Legal Requirements"
shall mean all present and future laws, codes, ordinances, statutes,
requirements, orders and regulations, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and
unforeseen, of any Governmental Authority (hereinafter defined) and all
directions, requirements, orders and notices of violations thereof. The term
"Governmental Authority" shall mean the United States of America, the State of
New York, the County of Suffolk, Town of Islip, any political subdivision
thereof and any agency, department, commission, board, bureau or instrumentality
of any of the foregoing, now existing or hereafter created, having jurisdiction
over Owner, Tenant, the use of the Demised Premises or the Building.

                  (B) In addition to the aforesaid, Tenant shall (i) not
generate, store, install, dispose of or otherwise handle any substance, waste or
material which is deemed hazardous, toxic, a pollutant or contaminant, under any
Legal Requirement now or hereinafter in effect (referred to herein as "Hazardous
Substances") in the Demised Premises, or in or around the Building, in any
manner contrary to any applicable Legal Requirements; (ii) not install or place
in the Demised Premises any asbestos or asbestos-containing materials (iii) at
Tenant's cost and expense remove, clean-up and remedy any Hazardous Substance in
the Demised Premises or the Building to the extent and in the manner required by
any applicable Legal Requirements, if the presence of such Hazardous Substances
resulted from the action or inaction of Tenant, its employees, contractors,
subcontractors, agents, occupants or invitees. Tenant shall not remove, clean
up, abate, or disturb any asbestos or asbestos-containing material in or about
the Demised Premises except as Owner shall direct.

            TWELFTH: CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. (A) In the event that the
Demised Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Owner shall have no
obligation to repair such damage provided that if Owner gives Tenant notice that
it intends to repair such damage within ninety (90) days of such damage or
casualty then, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect provided that
Owner shall undertake such repairs with reasonable diligence. If the Tenant
shall be unable to use all or substantially all of the Demised Premises or
Tenant's equipment by reason of a fire or casualty which was not


                                       22
<PAGE>

the result of the act or negligence of Tenant, then, during such period of
inability the Fixed Rent, increases therein or other sums payable by Tenant to
Owner shall abate until the earlier of the date (i) such damage is repaired or
(ii) Tenant begins to use Demised Premises or (iii) this Lease and the Demised
Term shall end as provided in this Article TWELFTH, provided however, that in
the event that only a portion of the Demised Premises is so rendered unusable
then, the Fixed Rent shall be abated in the same portion that the usable portion
of the Demised Premises bears to the total amount of the Demised Premises. In
the event that Owner shall not give notice that it intends to repair such
damage, then, Tenant shall have the option, by notice to Owner within thirty
(30) days after the initial ninety (90) day period, to cancel this Lease and the
Demised Term in which event this Lease and the Demised Term shall terminate and
be of no further force and effect as of the date of such notice and except for
those obligations which survive expiration of the Demised Term, neither party
shall have any further obligation or liability under this Lease for any period
after such effective termination date.

                  (B) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary, in the event that any of the following listed events shall occur
(sometimes referred to herein as the "Termination Events"), then this Lease and
the Demised Term shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the
effective date that this Lease shall so terminate. For the purposes hereof the
Termination Events shall be any of the following:

                              (i)  if  (a)  the  Demised  Premises  or  (b)  the
                   Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty  (whether
                   or not in such  instance  the  Demised  Premises  shall be so
                   damaged) and Owner shall decide not to repair or restore such
                   damage in which event the Demised  Term shall  terminate on a
                   date set  forth in a notice  by Owner to  Tenant  terminating
                   this  Lease and the  Demised  Term (i) as of the date of such
                   fire  or  casualty,  if  the  Demised  Premises  was  damaged
                   thereby, or (ii) a date set forth in Owner's notice;

                              (ii) the Demised Premises or a substantial part of
                   the  Building  shall be  acquired or  condemned  by any legal
                   authority  or for public  use or  purpose in which  event the
                   Lease  granted  hereunder  shall  terminate  upon a notice by
                   Owner to Tenant  terminating  this Lease and the Demised Term
                   as of the date of such  taking and Owner shall be entitled to
                   the entire award therefor.


                                       23
<PAGE>

                  (C) Tenant acknowledges that it has been advised that Owner's
insurance policies do not cover Tenant's personal property or any other property
of Tenant in the Demised Premises; accordingly, it shall be Tenant's obligation
to obtain and maintain insurance covering its property in the Demised Premises.
Tenant shall attempt to obtain and maintain, throughout the Demised Term, in
Tenant's casualty and other insurance policies covering Tenant's personal
property and other property of Tenant in the Demised Premises, so-called "waiver
subrogation" provisions to the effect that such policies shall not be
invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all
right of recovery against any party for loss occasioned by fire or other
casualty. If Tenant is unable to obtain such provisions in Tenant's property and
other insurance policies, Tenant shall name Owner as an additional insured but
not as a loss payee under such policies, it being understood and agreed that
Owner shall have no right whatsoever to any of the proceeds of such insurance.
As long as such or similar provisions are included in such insurance policies
then in force, Tenant hereby waives (and agrees to cause any other permitted
occupants of the Demised Premises to execute and deliver to Owner written
instruments waiving) any right of recovery against Owner, any lessors under any
ground or underlying lease, the holders of any mortgage, and all other tenants
or occupants of the Building, and any servants, employees, agents or contractors
of Owner, or of any such lessor, or holder or any such other tenants or
occupants, for any loss occasioned by fire or other casualty. In the event that
at any time such insurance carriers shall not include such or similar provisions
in any such insurance policy, the waiver set forth in the foregoing sentence (or
in any written instrument executed by any other permitted occupant of the
Demised Premises) shall, upon notice given by Tenant to Owner, be deemed of no
further force or effect from and after the giving of such notice. During any
period while any such waiver of right of recovery is in effect, Tenant, or any
other permitted occupant of the Demised Premises, as the case may be, shall look
solely to the proceeds of such policies to compensate Tenant or such other
permitted occupant for any loss occasioned by fire or other casualty.

            THIRTEENTH: INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE: (A) Tenant covenants and agrees
to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Owner, Rudin Management Company,
Inc. and Cogswell Realty Group, LLC, and their agents (including, but not
limited to CRG Management, LLC, which is Owner's managing agent), and the
agents, servants and employees of each of the foregoing and such other entities
as may be designated by the Owner (individually, "Indemnitee" and collectively
the "Indemnitees") from and against each and every claim, demand, cause of
action, liability, cost, damage, loss, penalty, fine, judgment or expense
(including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in defense
of the Indemnitees) which (i) may be made, asserted, brought or recovered by any
person, firm or corporation arising out of any death or bodily or personal
injury (including sickness or disease) or any damage to property to


                                       24
<PAGE>

the extent caused by, resulting from or in any way directly or indirectly
incidental to or in connection with the use of the Demised Premises or the
operation of the Tenant's equipment, and/or any act, omission or negligence of
Tenant and its agents contractors or employees and (ii) shall arise or result
from or be incurred in connection with or in any way be incidental to (1) any
breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease or (2) any violation of any
Legal Requirement or any fine, penalty or governmental order issued to or
enforced against Owner or any Indemnitee by any relevant Governmental Authority
with regard to such violation; the term "expense" shall include, but not be
limited to, any attorneys' fees or expenses incurred by Owner in connection with
the aforesaid and attorneys' fees or expenses incurred in connection with any
action to recover such attorneys' fees or expenses. The obligations of Tenant
hereunder shall survive the expiration, cancellation or termination of this
Lease and the Demised Term.

                  (B) Without limiting the aforesaid, Tenant agrees to be
responsible for any damage caused to the Building, and/or any other property
owned by Owner or any tenant, Tenant, user or occupant of the Building which may
be caused by Tenant or any of its agents or representatives. Throughout the
Demised Term and for so long as Tenant (or any person through or under Tenant)
shall use or occupy the Demised Premises, Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost and
expense, obtain and maintain throughout the Demised Term comprehensive public
liability and water legal liability insurance against any claims by reason of
personal injury, death and property damage occurring in or about the Demised
Premises covering, without limitation, the operation of any private air
conditioning equipment and any private elevators, escalators or conveyors in or
serving the Demised Premises or any part thereof, whether installed by Owner,
Tenant or others, and shall furnish to Owner duplicate original policies of such
insurance at least ten (10) days prior to the Commencement Date and at least ten
(10) days prior to the expiration of the term of any such policy previously
furnished by Tenant, in which policies Owner, and Owner's Indemnitees shall be
named as parties insured, which policies shall be issued by companies, and shall
be in form and amounts, satisfactory to Owner.

            FOURTEENTH: SUBORDINATION. This Lease and all of Tenant's rights
hereunder shall remain, subject and subordinate in all respects to all ground or
underlying leases now or hereafter in effect and to all mortgages which may now
or hereafter affect such leases and/or the Building and/or the Real Property,
and to all advances made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to
all renewals, modifications, consolidations, correlations, replacements and
extensions of, and substitutions for, such leases and mortgages. The foregoing
provisions of this Article shall be self-operative and no further instrument of
subordination shall be required.


                                       25
<PAGE>

            FIFTEENTH: OWNER LIABILITY LIMITATION. Owner shall incur no
liability of any kind whatsoever to Tenant or to any person, firm or corporation
claiming by, through or under Tenant in connection with this Lease or the
revocation thereof, or the use by Tenant of all or any portions of the Demised
Premises or the Building. Owner shall have no responsibility or liability for
any loss or damage that may occur to Tenant's property or effects while located
in the Demised Premises or the Building unless such damage is due to the
negligence of Owner. No general or limited partner, officer, director, employee
or shareholder of Owner or any agent thereof shall be personally liable for the
performance of Owner's obligation under this Lease. The liability of for any
Owner's obligation under this Lease shall be limited to Owner's interest in the
Building, and Tenant shall not look to any of Owner's other assets for
enforcement or satisfaction of any such obligation, nor shall Tenant seek
recourse for such enforcement or satisfaction against any general or limited
partner, officer, director, employee or shareholder of Owner or any agent
thereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that (i) Owner shall not be obligated to
provide security or any other type of protection for any equipment, personal
property or installation in the Demised Premises, (ii) neither Owner nor its
agents shall be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage to any
property or person occasioned by theft, fire, act of God, public enemy,
injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or other
order of governmental body or authority, or for any damage or inconvenience
which may arise through maintenance, repair or alteration of any part of the
Building. Owner and Tenant agree that neither party shall be liable to the other
for any special or consequential damages, including lost profits or revenues, as
a result of such parties' default of its obligations under this Lease, provided
that nothing contained herein shall otherwise limit, modify or violate any claim
or remedy in law or equity by one party hereof against the other by reason of a
breach or default in the other's obligations under this Lease.

            SIXTEENTH: DEFAULT/REMEDIES. (A) If at any time prior to or during
the Demised Term, any one or more of the following events (referred to as
"Events of Default") shall occur: (i) if Tenant shall default in the payment
when due of any installment of Fixed Rent or in the payment when due of any
other sums due Owner hereunder, and such default shall continue for a period of
ten (10) days after notice by Owner to Tenant of such default, or (ii) if Tenant
shall default in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or
condition (other than the covenants to make payment of Fixed Rent or other sums
due Owner) of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed and Tenant
shall fail to remedy such default within thirty (30) days after notice by Owner
to Tenant of such default; or (iii) if Tenant shall file a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or insolvency, or such proceeding shall be commenced against Tenant
or Tenant shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or Tenant shall file or
there shall be filed against Tenant any petition or answer seeking any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution
or similar relief under present or any future federal


                                       26
<PAGE>

bankruptcy act or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other
statute or law, or Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or Tenant shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any
trustee, receiver or liquidator for Tenant or of all or any part of Tenant's
property; or (iv) if Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of
any term, covenant or condition on the part of Tenant to be observed or
performed under any other agreement with Owner and such default shall continue
beyond any grace period set forth in such other agreement for the remedying of
such default; or (v) if Tenant shall desert or abandon the Demised Premises or
Tenant's equipment; or (vi) if Tenant's interest in this Lease shall devolve
upon or pass to any person, whether by operation of law or otherwise except as
provided in Article NINTH hereof then, upon the occurrence, at any time prior to
or during the Demised Term, of any one or more of such Events of Default, Owner,
at any time thereafter, at Owner's option, may give to Tenant a five (5) days'
notice of termination of this Lease and, in the event such notice is given, this
Lease and the Demised Term shall come to an end and expire upon the expiration
of said five (5) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said
five (5) days were the expiration date of the Demised Term and this Lease, but
Tenant shall remain liable for damages and all other sums payable pursuant to
law. Any notice given by Owner to Tenant under this Article SIXTEENTH shall be
deemed a "ten day notice to quit" under the provisions of Section 713 of the
Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law.

                  (B) In the event that this Lease shall end, Owner and its
agents and servants may immediately, or at any time after such default or after
the date upon which this Lease and the Demised Term shall expire and come to an
end, re-enter the Demised Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either
by summary proceedings or by any other applicable action or proceeding, or by
force or otherwise (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages
therefor), and may repossess the Demised Premises and dispossess Tenant and any
other persons from the Demised Premises and remove any and all of their property
and effects from the Demised Premises including Tenant's equipment and Owner, at
Owner's option, may release the whole or any part or parts of the Demised
Premises, from time to time, either in the name of Owner or otherwise, to such
tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the
expiration date of the Demised Term, at such rental or rental fees or otherwise
and upon such other conditions, which may include concessions and free rent
periods, as Owner, in its sole discretion, may determine. Tenant hereby waives
the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal
proceedings to that end which may otherwise be required to be given under any
present or future law. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons
claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does further hereby
waive any and all rights which Tenant and all such persons might otherwise have
under any present or future law to redeem the Demised Premises, or to re-enter
or repossess the Demised Premises, or to


                                       27
<PAGE>

restore the operation of this Lease, after (i) Tenant shall have been
dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, or (ii) any
re-entry by Owner, or (iii) any expiration or termination of this Lease and the
Demised Term, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination shall
be by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

            SEVENTEENTH: INABILITY TO PERFORM. If, by reason of strikes or other
labor disputes, fire or other casualty (or reasonable delays in adjustment of
insurance), accidents, Legal Requirement or any orders of any Government
Authority, or any other cause beyond Owner or Tenant's reasonable control,
whether or not such other cause shall be similar in nature to those hereinbefore
enumerated, Owner or Tenant, as the case may be, is unable to perform, fulfill
or is delayed in fulfilling any of their respective obligations under this Lease
or any instrument collateral thereto, then the performance or observance of such
obligation shall be suspended to the extent of and during the duration of such
inability and (i) no such inability or delay shall constitute an actual or
constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any
abatement or diminution of any of the Fixed Rent or any other sum due Owner from
Tenant hereunder, or (ii) no such inability or delay shall relieve Owner or
Tenant, as the case may be, from any of their respective obligations under this
Lease which are not affected by such inability or delay, or impose any liability
upon Owner, or Tenant as the case may be, or their agents, by reason of
inconvenience or annoyance to the other party, or injury to or interruption of
Tenant's business, or otherwise. The provisions of this Article SEVENTEENTH
shall not apply to the obligations of either Owner or Tenant to pay any monies
due the other party. Owner and Tenant, as the case may be applicable, each
agrees to employ reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause of any inability or
delay referred to in this Article, however, the provisions of this sentence
shall not apply in the event of any strike or labor dispute and neither party
shall be required to employ labor at overtime or any other premium pay rates
unless there is a danger or threatened danger to the health or safety of any
occupant of the Building or the environmental condition thereof.

            EIGHTEENTH: NOTICES. Any bills, statements, notices, demands,
requests or other communications given or required to be given pursuant to this
Lease shall be effective only if rendered or given in writing, sent by

<PAGE>

been mailed as provided herein.

            NINETEENTH: MISCELLANEOUS. (A) This Lease embodies and constitutes
the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the transaction
contemplated herein. This Lease may not be modified, amended or terminated, and
Tenant's obligations hereunder shall in no way be discharged, except as
expressly provided in this Lease or by written instrument executed by the
parties hereto. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York. This Lease shall not be binding or effective
until this Lease is executed and delivered by Owner and Tenant. This Lease may

foregoing are acting on their own behalf or in a representative capacity. If any
term, covenant or condition of this Lease or any application thereof shall be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and any other application
of such term, covenant or condition shall not be affected thereby. This Lease
shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring
construction against the party causing this Lease to be drafted. In the event of

weight shall be given to any deletions or striking out of any of the terms of

out shall be entered into evidence in any such action, suit or dispute or
proceeding given any weight therein.

                  (C) Owner and Tenant mutually represent and warrant to the
other that they had no dealings with any brokers, consultants, individuals or
any other entities in the negotiation and/or consummation of this Lease. Owner
and Tenant hereby mutually agree to indemnify and hold the other party harmless
from and against any claims, costs, expenses (including, without limitation,
legal fees) and other liabilities incurred by the other party by reason of any
claim or action for a commission or fee or other compensation by any person or
broker in connection with this Lease with whom the indemnifying party may have

                  (H) TENANT'S EXISTING LEASE

                        A. A portion of the Tech Building known as T-102, is
presently affected by a lease dated May 1, 2000 between Owner and Tenant for a
term which shall expire on July 31, 2005, unless sooner terminated pursuant to
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of said lease or pursuant to law (said
lease, as same may have been modified by various written agreements is referred
to as "Tenant's Existing Lease"). Tenant's Existing Lease and the term demised
therein shall terminate and come to an end on the date (referred to as the
"Surrender Date") one day prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, unless
sooner terminated pursuant to any of the terms, covenants or conditions of
Tenant's Existing Lease or pursuant to law. Tenant agrees to vacate and
surrender to Owner the entire premises demised in Tenant's Existing Lease free
of all tenancies and occupancies on or prior to the Surrender Date, as if the
Surrender Date were the date originally fixed for the expiration of the term
demised in Tenant's Existing Lease, and Tenant shall fully comply with the
provisions of Article EIGHTH of Tenant's Existing Lease (entitled "End of
Demised Term"), on or prior to the Surrender Date. If requested by Owner, Tenant
agrees to execute and deliver to Owner after the Surrender Date a further
agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner, evidencing the surrender to
Owner of the premises demised in Tenant's Existing Lease; however, neither
Owner's failure to request such execution nor Tenant's failure to execute and
deliver such instrument shall vitiate the provisions of this Article.

                        B. Provided Tenant is not then in default under any of
its obligations under Tenant's Existing Lease or this Article, Tenant shall be
released from its obligations under Tenant's Existing Lease accruing after the
Surrender Date, except as otherwise provided herein. If Tenant shall vacate the


                                       30
<PAGE>

premises demised in Tenant's Existing Lease or any part thereof at any time
prior to the Surrender Date, such premises or such part thereof shall be deemed
surrendered to Owner at such time. Nothing contained in this Article shall be
deemed to affect Tenant's obligation to pay the Fixed Rent reserved in Tenant's
Existing Lease, and any increases therein, accruing with respect to all periods
to and including the Surrender Date, and regardless of when Tenant shall vacate
the premises demised in Tenant's Existing Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to
any refund, abatement or apportionment of the Fixed Rent reserved in Tenant's
Existing Lease or any such increases for such periods.

                        C. The provisions of Articles TWENTY-FIRST and
TWENTY-SECOND of Tenant's Existing Lease shall remain in full force and effect
with respect to all periods prior to and including the Surrender Date. Owner
shall deliver to Tenant at the Building, a statement or statements in accordance
with said Articles with respect to all periods to and including the Surrender
Date for which periods Owner has not already submitted to Tenant a statement.
All unpaid increases in the Fixed Rent reserved in Tenant's Existing Lease
pursuant to the provisions of said Article TWENTY-FIRST and TWENTY-SECOND and
shown on such statement or statements shall, at Owner's election, be payable by
Tenant to Owner as additional rent under this Lease.

                        D. Tenant represents and warrants to Owner that Tenant
is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of Tenant's
Existing Lease and that Tenant has not at any time heretofore committed or
suffered, and will not at any time hereafter commit or suffer, any act, deed,
matter or thing whatsoever whereby the premises demised in Tenant's Existing
Lease or any part thereof are or shall be at any time hereafter in any way
impeached, charged, affected or encumbered.

                        E. Except to the extent expressly modified by the
foregoing provisions of this Article, Tenant's Existing Lease is hereby ratified
and confirmed in all respects.

            TWENTIETH. SECURITY. Tenant acknowledges that Owner is presently
holding the sum of TEN THOUSAND FIFTY EIGHT and 00/100 ($10,058.00) DOLLARS
representing security (referred to as "Security") under Tenant's Existing Lease
(defined in Article NINETEENTH) which Tenant agrees shall be transferred on or
about the Commencement Date for the faithful performance and observance by
Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to
be observed and performed. In the event of any default by Tenant in the
observance or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Lease on the part of Tenant to be observed or


                                       31
<PAGE>

performed including, but not limited to, any default in the payment when due of
any monthly installment of the Fixed Rent or increase in the Fixed Rent payable
pursuant to the provisions of Articles TWENTY-FIRST or TWENTY-SECOND or of any
additional rent, Owner may use or apply all or any part of the Security for the
payment to Owner for Tenant's account of any sum or sums due under this Lease,
without thereby waiving any other rights or remedies of Owner with respect to
such default. Tenant agrees to replenish all or any part of the Security so used
or applied prior to or during the Demised Term, it being acknowledged by Tenant
that if there is any monetary default under Tenant's Existing Lease and all or
any portion of the Security thereunder is applied to remedy same, Tenant shall
replenish same so that the sum of TEN THOUSAND FIFTY EIGHT and 00/100
($10,058.00) DOLLARS shall be on deposit as Security hereunder. After (i) the
Expiration Date or any other date upon which the Demised Term shall expire and
come to an end, and (ii) the full observance and performance by Tenant of all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be
observed and performed, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Article
EIGHTH, Owner shall return to Tenant the balance of the Security then held or
retained by Owner. Owner agrees that, unless prohibited by law or by the general
policies of lending institutions in New York City, Owner shall deposit the
Security in an interest-bearing savings account with a bank selected by Owner,
in which event all interest accruing thereon shall be added to and become part
of the Security and shall be retained by Owner under the same conditions as the
sum originally deposited as Security. Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not assign
or encumber any part of the Security, and no assignment or encumbrance by Tenant
of all or any part of the Security shall be binding upon Owner, whether made
prior to, during, or after the Demised Term. Owner shall not be required to
exhaust its remedies against Tenant or against the Security before having
recourse to any other form of security held by Owner and recourse by Owner to
any form of security shall not affect any remedies of Owner which are provided
in this Lease or which are available to Owner in law or equity. In the event of
any sale, assignment or transfer by Owner named herein (or by any subsequent
Owner) of its interest in the Building as owner or lessee, Owner (or such
subsequent owner) shall have the right to assign or transfer the Security to its
grantee, assignee or transferee and, in the event of such assignment or
transfer, Owner named herein, (or such subsequent Owner) shall have no liability
to Tenant for the return of the Security and Tenant shall look solely to the
grantee, assignee or transferee for such return. A lease of the entire Building
shall be deemed a transfer within the meaning of the foregoing sentence.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the foregoing provisions
of this Article, Owner shall be entitled to retain the one (1%) percent
administrative fee permitted by law to be retained by landlords with respect to
security deposits.

            TWENTY-FIRST. TAX ESCALATION. A. DEFINITIONS: In the determination
of any increase in the Fixed Rent under the provisions of this Article, Owner
and Tenant agree that the following terms shall have the following meanings:

                        (1) The term "Tax Escalation Year" shall mean each
fiscal year commencing December 1st and ending on the following November 30th
which shall include any part of the Demised Term.

                        (2) The term "Taxes" shall be deemed to mean a sum equal
to all real estate taxes and assessments, special or otherwise, upon or with
respect to the Real Property imposed by the Town of Islip, County of Suffolk or
any other taxing authority to create a source of revenue through taxation of
real estate as such. If, due to any change in the method of taxation, any
franchise, income, profit, sales, rental, use and occupancy or other tax or
payments in lieu of any such taxes shall be substituted for, or levied against
Owner or any owner of the Building or the Real Property, in lieu of any real
estate taxes or assessments upon or with respect to the Real Property, such tax
or payments in lieu of any such taxes shall be included in the term Taxes for
the purposes of this Article.

                        (3) The term "Tenant's Proportionate Share" shall mean
the fraction, 1,757/355,000.

                        (4) The term "Owner's Basic Tax Liability" shall mean a
sum equal to Taxes, as finally determined, payable for the Tax Escalation Year
commencing December 1st 2000 expiring November 30th, 2001.

                  (B) If Taxes payable in any Tax Escalation Year shall be in
such amount as shall constitute an increase above Owner's Basic Tax Liability,
the Fixed Rent for such Tax Escalation Year shall be increased by a sum equal to
Tenant's Proportionate Share of any such increase. Tenant shall pay any such
amounts owing to Owner pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article
within ten (10) days after the submission by Owner to Tenant of a bill therefor,
Tenant's obligation to make such payments shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease. All sums payable under this Article shall be
collectible by Owner in the same manner as Fixed Rent.

            TWENTY-SECOND. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX ESCALATION

                  A. DEFINITIONS. In the determination of any increase in the
Fixed Rent under the provisions of this Article, Owner and Tenant agree as
follows:

                        (1) The term "Escalation Year" shall mean each calendar
year which shall include any part of the Demised Term.

                        (2) The term "Owner's CPI Statement" shall mean a
writing setting forth a computation of any increase in the Fixed Rent for the
preceding Escalation Year pursuant to the provisions of this Article.

                        (3) The term "Price Index" shall mean the Consumer Price
Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers based on the United States
Cities national monthly average for all group commodities and items, published
by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or a successor
substitute index. If in any Escalation Year, the 1982-84 average of 100 is no
longer used as the basis of calculation of the Price Index, then, for the
purposes of this Article, the Price Index for such Escalation Year shall be
recalculated as though such 1982-84 average of 100 was still the basis of
calculation of the Price Index for such Escalation Year. In the event such Price
Index (or a substitute successor index) is not available, a reliable
governmental or other non-partisan publication evaluating the information
theretofore used in determining the Price Index shall be used to reflect the
increase in the national cost of living.

                        (4) The term "Base Price Index Rate" shall mean the
Price Index for the month in which the Commencement Date shall occur.

                  B. The Fixed Rent for each Escalation Year shall be increased
by a sum determined by multiplying (i) the Fixed Rent for such Escalation Year,
by (ii) the percentage increase in the Price Index for the month of December in
such Escalation Year above the Base Price Index Rate. Appropriate Proration
shall be made for any partial Escalation Year. Tenant shall pay any such amounts
owing to Owner pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article within ten
(10) days after the submission by Owner to Tenant of a bill therefor. Tenant's
obligation to make such payments shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease. All sums payable under this Article shall be
collectible by Owner in the same manner as Fixed Rent.

            TWENTY-THIRD. ARBITRATION Any dispute with respect to the
reasonability of any failure or refusal of Owner to grant its consent or
approval to any request for such consent or approval pursuant to the provisions
of Section 9.03 with


                                       34
<PAGE>

respect to which request Owner has agreed, in such Section, not unreasonably to
withhold such consent or approval which is submitted to arbitration shall be
finally determined by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the
rules and regulations then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association or
its successor. Any such determination shall be final and binding upon the
parties, whether or not a judgment shall be entered in any court. In making
their determination, the arbitrators shall not subtract from, add to, or
otherwise modify any of the provisions of this Lease. Owner and Tenant may, at
their own expense, be represented by counsel and employ expert witnesses in any
such arbitration. Any dispute with respect to the reasonability of any failure
or refusal of Owner to grant its

<PAGE>

consent or approval to any request for such
consent or approval pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease (other than
Section 9.03) with respect to which Owner has covenanted not unreasonably to
withhold such consent or approval, and any dispute arising with respect to the
increases in Fixed Rent due to the provisions of Article TWENTY-FIRST and
Article TWENTY-SECOND shall be determined by applicable legal proceedings. If
the determination of any such legal proceedings, or of any arbitration held
pursuant to the provisions of this Section with respect to disputes arising
under Section 9.03 shall be adverse to Owner, Owner shall be deemed to have
granted the requested consent or approval, or be bound by any determination as
to Taxes and Consumer Price Index Escalation and the increases in Fixed Rent
relating thereto, but that shall be Tenant's sole remedy in such event and Owner
shall not be liable to Tenant for a breach of Owner's covenant not unreasonably
to withhold such consent or approval, or otherwise. Each party shall pay its own
counsel and expert witness fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any
arbitration held pursuant to the provisions of this Section and the parties will
share all other expenses and fees of any such arbitration.
