                           incorporated by reference herein

         WHEREAS, Tenant desires to (i) extend the Term of the above-referenced

         WHEREAS, Landlord is willing to: (i) extend the Term of the lease; and
(ii) lease the T-26 Expansion Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions

         NOW THEREFORE, the above-described lease, as previously amended (the
"Lease"), is hereinafter further amended as follows:

         1. EXTENSION OF TERM

         The Term of the Lease in respect of the Existing Premises is hereby
extended for an additional term commencing as of April 26, 2008 and terminating

(i.e., a monthly installment of $173,006.33).

                                       2
<Page>

         B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sixteenth
Amendment, Tenant's Additional Expansion Option, as set forth in Paragraph 10 of
the Fifteenth Amendment of Lease, to lease the Additional Expansion Premises
consisting of 22,090 rentable square feet of space located on the 31st floor of
the Building and outlined on Exhibit A-4 to the Fifteenth Amendment of Lease,
shall remain in full force and effect on the terms set forth in said Paragraph
10 of the Fifteenth Amendment, except that the Option Term Commencement Date has
been revised, per Paragraph 7 of this Sixteenth Amendment, to be the day
immediately following the Extended Termination Date, as defined in Paragraph 2
below.

         C. In the event that any of the provisions of the Lease are
inconsistent with this Amendment or the state of facts contemplated hereby, the
provisions of this Amendment shall control.

         2. DEMISE OF T-26 EXPANSION PREMISES

         Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires
and leases and takes from Landlord the T-26 Expansion Premises for a term
commencing as of the Commencement Date in respect of the T-26 Expansion
Premises, as hereinafter defined, and terminating as of the last day of the
month in which the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date in respect
of the T-26 Expansion Premises, as hereinafter defined, occurs ("Extended
Termination Date"). Landlord shall provide Tenant with advance written notice of
the estimated Commencement Date in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises at
least 1 week prior to such Commencement Date. Promptly after the determination
of the Commencement Date in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises, Landlord and
Tenant shall confirm such Commencement Date and the Extended Termination Date in
writing. Said demise of the T-26 Expansion Premises shall be upon all of the
same terms and conditions of the Lease, except as follows:

         A. The Commencement Date in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises
shall be the date ninety (90) days after the date that Landlord substantially
completes the Shell Work, as defined in Paragraph 4 hereof.

         B. Base Rent in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises shall be Six
Hundred Sixty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-Four and 96/100 ($667,554.96)
Dollars per annum (i.e., a monthly installment of $55,629.58), based on $35.00
per rentable square foot of the T-26 Premises per annum, and shall commence on
the Commencement Date in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises.

         C. The Base Year for purposes of calculating Tenant's rent adjustment
for Operating Expenses in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises shall be
calendar year 2004.

                                       3
<Page>

         D. The Base Year for purposes of calculating Tenant's Proportionate
Share of Ownership Taxes in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises shall be
fiscal year 2005 (i.e., July 1, 2004 - June 30, 2005).

         E. Tenant's Proportionate Share of Ownership Taxes in respect of the
T-26 Expansion Premises shall be 1.10%, the percentage resulting from dividing
the number of square feet of rentable area included in the T-26 Expansion
Premises (i.e., 19,073 rentable square feet) by the number of square feet of
rentable area in the Building (i.e., 1,738,779 rentable square feet).

         3. ELECTRICITY IN RESPECT OF T-26 EXPANSION PREMISES

         The consumption of electricity in the T-26 Expansion Premises shall be
measured by a check meter to be installed by Landlord as part of the Shell Work,
as defined in Paragraph 4 below. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the entire
cost of such electric current as follows:

         1.       Commencing as of the Commencement Date in respect of the T-26
                  Expansion Premises and continuing until the procedures set
                  forth in Paragraph 2 below are effected, Tenant shall pay to
                  Landlord at the same time and in the same manner that it pays
                  its monthly payments of Base Rent hereunder, estimated monthly
                  payments on account of Tenant's obligation to reimburse
                  Landlord for electricity consumed in the T-26 Expansion
                  Premises.

         2.       Periodically after the Commencement Date in respect of the
                  T-26 Expansion Premises, Landlord shall determine the actual
                  cost of electricity consumed by Tenant in the T-26 Expansion
                  Premises (i.e. by reading Tenant's check meter and by applying
                  the actual electric rate(s) applicable to the preceding
                  period). If the total of Tenant's estimated monthly payments
                  on account of such period is less than the actual cost of
                  electricity consumed in the T-26 Expansion Premises during
                  such period, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord when
                  billed therefor. If the total of Tenant's estimated monthly
                  payments on account of such period is greater than the actual
                  cost of electricity consumed in the T-26 Expansion Premises
                  during such period, Tenant may credit the difference against
                  its next installment of rental or other charges due hereunder.

         3.       After each adjustment, as set forth in Paragraph 2 above, the
                  amount of estimated monthly payments on account of Tenant's
                  obligation to reimburse Landlord for electricity in the T-26
                  Expansion Premises shall be adjusted based upon the actual
                  cost of electricity consumed during the immediately preceding
                  period.

                                       4

         4.       CONDITION OF T-26 EXPANSION PREMISES

         A. SHELL WORK. Tenant shall take the T-26 Expansion Premises "as-is",
in the condition in which the T-26 Expansion Premises are in as of the
Commencement Date in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises, without any
obligation on the part of Landlord to prepare or construct the T-26 Expansion
Premises for Tenant's occupancy and without any representation or warranty by
Landlord as to the condition of the T-26 Expansion Premises, except that
Landlord shall, at Landlord's cost, perform the following work ("Shell Work"):

         All existing floor covering and adhesive residue shall be removed to
         concrete slab. Slab shall be level with no penetrations, divots, or
         pockmarks. Slab shall be broom clean, ready for floor covering. All
         hung ceiling components shall be removed. All debris and abandoned
         cables, wires, conduits, ductwork, piping, etc. shall have been removed
         from above the ceiling. A fire protection loop shall be provided. All
         exterior windows shall be provided with existing, functioning building
         standard window treatments. In addition, Landlord shall install
         demising walls, ready for paint, to separate the T-26 Expansion
         Premises from the balance of the 26th floor as shown on Exhibit A,
         Sixteenth Amendment and install a check meter to measure the
         consumption of electricity in the T-26 Expansion Premises.

         B. COMPLETION OF SHELL WORK. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
substantially complete the Shell Work on or before the date forty (40) days
after this Sixteenth Amendment is executed by Tenant and Landlord and delivered.
The Shell Work shall be deemed substantially completed on the date that all of
the Shell Work has been performed, other than punch-list work which does not
interfere with Tenant's access or occupancy of the T-26 Premises or the
performance of Tenant's T-26 Work, as defined in Paragraph 5.A below.

         C. EARLY ENTRY. With Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, and which consent shall only be required prior to
Tenant's initial request to enter the T-26 Expansion Premises, Tenant shall have
the right to enter the T-26 Expansion Premises after the Shell Work is
substantially completed and prior to the Commencement Date in respect of the
T-26 Expansion Premises, during normal business hours and without payment of
rent, to perform Tenant's T-26 Work, as defined in Paragraph 5(A) below, which
entry shall otherwise be in compliance with the terms of this Lease. Such right
of entry shall be deemed a license from Landlord to Tenant, and any entry
thereunder shall be at the risk of Tenant.

         D. FLOOR 26 LOBBY WORK. In addition to the Shell Work, Landlord shall,
at Landlord's cost, finish the demising walls on the common corridor side of the
T-26 Expansion Premises, repaint and recarpet the common corridor and lobby of
the 26th floor, renovate/upgrade the common area bathrooms on the 26th floor of
the Building to Building standard as currently exists (i.e., as of the date of
this Sixteenth Amendment) in

                                       5
<Page>

the common area bathrooms on the 52nd floor of the Building and construct a
multi-tenant elevator lobby on the 26th floor (collectively, "Floor 26 Lobby
Work"). In addition, to the extent required, Landlord shall be responsible at
Landlord's expense, for bringing the base Building systems, common areas
(including restrooms) and Building core areas serving the 26th floor into
compliance with existing (i.e., as of the date of this Sixteenth Amendment)
federal, state or local environmental laws or other legal requirements and Title
III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to complete the Floor 26 Common Area Work on or before the
date one hundred thirty (130) days after this Sixteenth Amendment is executed by
Tenant and Landlord and delivered ("Estimated Lobby Completion Date"). If the
Floor 26 Common Area Work is not completed on or before the date fifty (50) days
after the Estimated Lobby Completion Date ("Outside Lobby Completion Date"), and
such failure is not due to any delay caused by Tenant or Tenant's contractors,
then, as Tenant's sole remedy, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against
Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises
of Two Hundred and 00/100 ($200.00) Dollars per day for each day between the
Outside Lobby Completion Date and the date that the Floor 26 Common Area Work is
completed.

         5. LANDLORD'S CONTRIBUTION IN RESPECT OF T-26 EXPANSION PREMISES

         A. Landlord shall, in the manner hereinafter set forth, contribute up
to Nine Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand Six Hundred Fifty and 00/100 ($953,650.00)
Dollars (i.e., $50.00 per rentable square foot of the T-26 Expansion Premises)
("Landlord's Contribution") towards the cost of all leasehold improvements to be
installed by Tenant in the T-26 Expansion Premises ("Tenant's T-26 Work") and
towards construction and project management fees, tele/data wiring and more
related expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with Tenant's T-26 Work.
Tenant shall not be responsible for any construction management coordination
fees to Landlord in connection with Tenant's T-26 Work. Tenant's T-26 Work shall
be performed in accordance with the Lease including, without limitation,
Paragraph 10 thereof, as amended by Paragraph 8 of the Ninth Amendment of Lease.
In the event that any structural upgrades and/or floor coring for the tele/data
wiring is required in connection with Tenant's T-26 Work, then, subject to
Tenant's compliance with the Lease provisions, as aforesaid, Tenant shall have
the right to reasonable access to the appropriate areas on the 25th floor of the
Building, which work shall be performed in accordance with a mutually agreed
upon procedure scheduled with the Building's management office.

         B. Provided that Tenant is not in default of its obligations under the
Lease at the time that Tenant requests any requisition on account of Landlord's
Contribution, Landlord shall pay the cost of the work shown on each requisition
(as hereinafter defined) submitted by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days
of submission thereof by Tenant to Landlord. For the purposes hereof, a
"requisition" shall mean written documentation showing in reasonable detail the
costs of the improvements then installed by Tenant in the T-26 Expansion
Premises. Each requisition shall be accompanied by evidence reasonably

                                       6
<Page>

satisfactory to Landlord that all work covered by previous requisitions has been
fully paid by Tenant (Landlord hereby agreeing that lien waivers from Tenant's
contractor shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord for the purposes
hereof). Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to
Tenant, to inspect Tenant's books and records relating to each requisition in
order to verify the amount thereof. Tenant shall submit requisition(s) no more
often than monthly.

         C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained:

         (i) Landlord shall have no obligation to advance funds on account of
Landlord's Contribution unless and until Landlord has received the requisition
in question, together with certifications from Tenant's architect, certifying
that the work shown on the requisition has been performed in accordance with
applicable law and in accordance with Tenant's approved plans.

         (ii) Except with respect to work and/or materials previously paid for
by Tenant, as evidenced by paid invoices provided to Landlord, Landlord shall
have the right to have Landlord's Contribution paid to both Tenant and Tenant's
contractor(s) and vendor(s) jointly, or directly to Tenant's contractor if
Landlord has reason to believe there are or may be outstanding claims by such
contractor(s) or vendor(s).

         (iii) Landlord shall have no obligation to pay Landlord's Contribution
in respect of any requisition submitted after the date which is twelve (12)
months after the Commencement Date in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises
("Outside Requisition Date").

         (iv) In the event of any unused portion of Landlord's Contribution
remaining after the Outside Requisition Date, Tenant shall be entitled to a
dollar for dollar credit of up to $185,170 of any unused portion of Landlord's
Contribution against Tenant's next obligations to pay Base Rent in respect of
the T-26 Expansion Premises.

         D. Except for Landlord's Contribution and Landlord's Shell Work, Tenant
shall bear all other costs of Tenant's T-26 Work. Landlord shall have no
liability or responsibility for any claim, injury or damage alleged to have been
caused by the particular materials, whether building standard or non-building
standard, selected by Tenant in connection with Tenant's Work.

         6. INTENTIONALLY DELETED

         7. OPTION TO EXTEND LEASE

         A. EXISTING PREMISES: The Option to Extend Lease as set forth in
Paragraph 9 of the Ninth Amendment of Lease, as amended by Paragraph 4 of the
Fifteenth Amendment of Lease, shall continue to be in effect in respect of the
Existing Premises, except that the Option Term Commencement Date shall be the
day immediately
                                       7
<Page>

following the Extended Termination Date, as defined in Paragraph 2 above, and
the Exercise Date shall be not later than twelve (12) months prior to the
Extended Termination Date. All other terms and conditions of said Option to
Extend Lease set forth in said Paragraph 9 of the Ninth Amendment of Lease, as
amended by Paragraph 4 of the Fifteenth Amendment of Lease, shall continue to
apply to the Existing Premises.

         B. T-26 Expansion Premises: The Option to Extend Lease as set forth in
Paragraph 9 of the Ninth Amendment of Lease, as amended by Paragraph 4 of the
Fifteenth Amendment of Lease, as further amended by Paragraph 7(A) above, shall
apply to the T-26 Expansion Premises, except that the Base Rent in respect of
the T-26 Expansion Premises during the Option Term shall be equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Rental Value.

         C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Lease
contained, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Option to Extend
Lease in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises unless Tenant simultaneously
exercises the Option to Extend Lease in respect of the Existing Premises.
However, Tenant shall have the right to exercise the Option to Extend Lease in
respect of the Existing Premises without exercising the Option to Extend Lease
in respect of the T-26 Expansion Premises by so advising Landlord in Tenant's
notice of extension.

         8. TENANT'S RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER WITH RESPECT TO BALANCE OF FLOOR 26

         On the conditions (which conditions Landlord may waive, at its
election, by written notice to Tenant at any time) that Tenant is not in default
of its covenants and obligations under the Lease and that Charles River
Associates Incorporated, itself, or an affiliate, as that term is defined in
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, is occupying at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the premises then demised to Tenant, both at the
time that Landlord is required to give Landlord's Notice, as hereinafter
defined, and as of the Commencement Date in respect of the RFO Premises, and
that Tenant timely and properly exercises the Option to Extend Lease in respect
of the entirety of the premises then demised to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 9
of the Ninth Amendment to Lease, as amended by Paragraph 4 of the Fifteenth
Amendment of Lease and by Paragraph 7 above, Tenant shall have the following
right to lease the RFO Premises, as hereinafter defined, when the RFO Premises
become available for lease to Tenant, as hereinafter defined.

         A. DEFINITION OF RFO PREMISES

         "RFO Premises" shall be defined as any separately demised area on the
twenty-sixth (26th) floor of the Building, when such area becomes available for
lease to Tenant, as hereinafter defined, during the Term of the Lease. For the
purposes of this Paragraph 8, an RFO Premises shall be deemed to be "available
for lease to Tenant" if, during the term of the Lease, Landlord, in its sole
judgment, determines that such area will become

                                       7
<Page>

available for leasing to Tenant (i.e. when Landlord determines that the then
current tenant of such RFO Premises will terminate its lease and vacate such RFO
Premises, and neither Dechert nor John Hancock Financial Services, Inc.
exercises its right to lease RFO Premises, and when Landlord intends to offer
such area for lease). In no event shall Tenant have any rights under this
Paragraph 8 on or before December 1, 2009 or on or after the date twenty-four
(24) months prior to the expiration of the Term of the Lease (i.e. Landlord
shall have no obligation to give Landlord's Notice, as hereinafter defined, to
Tenant on or before December 1, 2009 or on or after the date twenty-four (24)
months prior to the expiration of the Term of the Lease).

         B. EXERCISE OF RIGHT TO LEASE RFO PREMISES

         Landlord's Notice shall set forth the exact location of the RFO
Premises, the Base Rent applicable to the RFO Premises and the Commencement Date
in respect of the RFO Premises. Tenant shall have the right, exercisable upon
written notice ("Tenant's Exercise Notice") given to Landlord within fifteen
(15) days after the receipt of Landlord's Notice, to lease the RFO Premises. If
Tenant fails timely to give Tenant's Exercise Notice, Tenant shall have no
further right to lease such RFO Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 8, provided
however, that Tenant shall have the right from time to time thereafter
throughout the term of the Lease until Tenant's right to lease the RFO Premises
has lapsed, to give Tenant's Request as to any other subsequently available RFO
Premises. However, if Tenant fails timely to give Tenant's Exercise Notice with
respect to an RFO Premises, and Landlord enters into a lease or other agreement
for such RFO Premises, Tenant shall have a right of first offer on such RFO
Premises when such RFO Premises are thereafter available for lease to Tenant, as
defined above. Upon the timely giving of such notice, Landlord shall lease and
demise to Tenant and Tenant shall hire and take from Landlord, such RFO
Premises, upon all of the same terms and conditions of the Lease except as
hereinafter set forth.

         C. LEASE PROVISIONS APPLYING TO RFO PREMISES

          The leasing to Tenant of such RFO Premises shall be upon
all of the same terms and conditions of the Lease, except as follows:

                  (1) COMMENCEMENT DATE

                  The Commencement Date in respect of such RFO Premises shall
be the date that Landlord delivers such RFO Premises to Tenant.

                  (3) CONDITION OF RFO PREMISES

                  Tenant shall take such RFO Premises "as-is" in its then (i.e.
as of the date of premises delivery) state of construction, finish, and
decoration, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to construct or
prepare any RFO Premises for Tenant's occupancy, except that the determination
of Fair Rental Value shall take into account, without limitation, any tenant
allowances granted by Landlord to Tenant.

         D. EXECUTION OF LEASE AMENDMENTS

                  Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant's exercise of the
above-described option to lease RFO Premises shall be self-executing, as
aforesaid, the parties hereby agree promptly to execute a lease amendment
reflecting the addition of an RFO Premises, except that the Base Rent and Base
Years in respect of such RFO Premises in respect of such RFO Premises may not be
as set forth in such Amendment. At the time that such Base Rent and Base Years
are determined, the parties shall execute a written agreement confirming the
same. The execution of such lease amendment shall not be deemed to waive any of
the conditions to Tenant's exercise of the herein option to lease the RFO
Premises, unless otherwise specifically provided in such lease amendment.

         E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant's Right of
First Offer under this Paragraph 8 is subject and subordinate to the existing
rights of Dechert and John Hancock Financial Services, Inc., other tenants in
the Building, to lease the RFO Premises, which rights are summarized in Exhibit
C, Sixteenth Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated by
reference herein.

         9. PARKING

Amendment of Lease, Landlord shall make available to Tenant one (1) parking
permit for the Hancock Garage per 1,500 square feet of rentable square feet of
the T-26 Expansion Premises (or 12 based on 18,517 rentable square feet). Said
use of the additional parking permits shall be upon all of the same terms and
conditions as set forth in Paragraph 12 of the Ninth Amendment of Lease.

         10. BROKER

         Tenant and Landlord each represents and warrants to the other that,
with respect to this Sixteenth Amendment, it has not directly or indirectly
dealt with any broker other than CBRE/Lynch Murphy Walsh Advisors and CB Richard
Ellis/Whittier Partner (the "Brokers") and covenants and agrees to defend, save
harmless and indemnify the other party against any claims for a commission
arising out of any dealings directly or indirectly by such party with any
broker, other than the Brokers, with respect to the execution and


                                       10
<Page>

delivery of this Sixteenth Amendment. Landlord shall apy any commissions to
the Brokers in connection with this Sixteenth Amendment pursuant to a
separate agreement(s) between Landlord and Brokers.

         11. INAPPLICABLE LEASE PROVISIONS AND REVISED LEASE PROVISIONS

         A. Paragraph 6 of the Lease, Page 5A of the Lease, Exhibits 3 and 4 and
Attachment A to the Lease, Paragraph 7 of the Ninth Amendment of Lease,
Paragraph 4 of the Tenth Amendment of Lease (which is incorrectly numbered as
Paragraph 3), Paragraph 4 of the Eleventh Amendment of Lease (which is
incorrectly numbered as Paragraph 3), Paragraph 3 of the Twelfth Amendment of
Lease (which is incorrectly numbered as Paragraph 3), Paragraph 4 of the
Thirteenth Amendment of Lease, Paragraph 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment of Lease,
Paragraph 8 of the Fifteenth Amendment of Lease shall have no applicability to
the T-26 Expansion Premises.

         B. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 20 and 21 of the Lease, and
subject to Tenant's obligations in Section 9 of the Lease, Landlord shall keep
and maintain the roof, exterior walls, structural floor slabs, columns,
elevators, public stairways and corridors, lavatories, equipment (including,
without limitation, sanitary, electrical, heating, air conditioning, or other
systems) and other common facilities of the Building in good condition and
repair.

         C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease contained,
Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim against Landlord, or
Landlord's agents or employees, or the assets of Landlord or of Landlord's
agents or employees, for breach of this Lease or otherwise, other than against
Landlord's interest in the Building of which the premises are a part and in the
uncollected rents, issues and profits thereof, and Tenant agrees to look solely
to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability of Landlord under this
Lease, it being specifically agreed that in no event shall Landlord or
Landlord's agents or employees (or any of the officers, trustees, directors,
partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other
principals or representatives, and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof)
ever be personally liable for any such liability. This paragraph shall not limit
any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against
Landlord or to take any other action which shall not involve the personal
liability of Landlord to respond in monetary damages from Landlord's assets
other than the Landlord's interest in said real estate, as aforesaid. In no
event shall Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees (or any of the officers,
trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members,
stockholders or other principals or representatives and the like, disclosed or
undisclosed, thereof) ever be liable for consequential or incidental damages.
Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord or Landlord's agents
or employees (or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners,
beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other principals or
representatives and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever be liable
for lost profits of Tenant. If by reason of Landlord's failure to acquire title
to the real property of which the premises are a part or to complete
construction of the Building or premises, Landlord shall be

                                       11
<Page>

held to be in breach of this Lease, Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy shall be
a right to terminate this Lease.

                         EXISTING RIGHTS OF DECHERT AND
                      JOHN HANCOCK FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.

1.       Dechert has the option, to be exercised on or after June 1, 2008 and on
         or before December 1, 2009, to add to its premises an area of no less
         than 7,000 contiguous rentable square feet and no more than 10,000
         continguous rentable square feet on either floor 26 or floor 28 of the
         Building as designated by Landlord, to be delivered by Landlord to
         Tenant twelve (12) months after Dechert exercises such option.

2.       John Hancock Financial Services, Inc. ("JHF") has a right of first
         offer to lease any and all space in the Building which the Landlord
         intends to lease to any party. Landlord is to notify JHF of its plans
         to offer space to any party. If JHF declines on space, Landlord has the
         opportunity to market to any third party provided the deal isn't less
         than 95% of the effective rent offered to JHF. If more favorable terms,
         then Landlord must offer to JHF and JHF has 15 days to decide. If
         Landlord doesn't enter into a lease within 12 months after original
         notice to JHF, JHF's rights are reinstated.
