         4.       Incorporation into Section 2.02. Construction of Tenant
Improvements. The following shall be added to Section 2.02 of the Lease:

                  "Landlord agrees to provide an allowance of Six Dollars and
         Fifty Cents ($6.50) per rentable square foot of the Fourth Additional
         Space for the cost of tenant finish improvements for the Fourth
         Additional Space ("Fourth Additional Space Allowance"). Tenant shall be
         responsible for the costs of any tenant finish improvements which
         exceed the Fourth Additional Space Allowance. Landlord shall pay for
         space planning and architectural constructing drawings for the Fourth
         Additional Space which costs shall not be deducted from the Fourth
         Additional Space Allowance.

                  Landlord agrees to perform and complete the work on the tenant
         finish work for the Fourth Additional Space as determined by Tenant and
         shall give Tenant written notice of the day on which Landlord expects
         to complete such work. Landlord shall warrant the tenant finish work in
         the Fourth Additional Space for one (1) year excluding normal wear and
         tear and damage caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant.

                  Upon completion of the work in the Fourth Additional Space,
         Tenant shall execute a letter of understanding as referred to in
         Section 2.03 of the Lease."

         5.       Deletion of Section 18.19. Right of First Refusal. Tenant's
right of first refusal as set forth in Section 18.19 of the Lease is hereby
deleted and of no further force or effect.

         6.       Amendment of Section 18.21. Option to Terminate. Section
18.21 of the Lease is hereby amended to delete Tenant's option to terminate the
Lease at the end of the forty-eighth (48th) month of the Lease Term and to
increase the stated Termination Fee is Tenant exercises its right to terminate
the Lease at the end of the eighty-fourth (84th) month of the Lease Term to One
Million One Hundred Thirty-nine Thousand Three Hundred Ninety-one Dollars
($1,139,391,000).

         7.       Fourth Additional Space Commencement Date. If the Fourth
Additional Space is not available for Landlord to commence tenant finish work
on or before December 7, 1998, then the Fourth Additional Space Commencement
Date shall be adjusted to the earlier of the date that Landlord delivers the
Fourth Additional Space to Tenant complete with any tenant finish improvements
being completed by Landlord and this Amendment shall be revised to reflect
such new Fourth Additional Space Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Fourth Additional Space Commencement Date shall not be deferred
beyond the date on which Landlord would have been able to deliver the Leased
Premises with the tenant finish improvements being completed, but for delays
caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall take
immediate legal action to gain possession of the Third Floor Space should it
not be available for tenant finish work by December 7, 1998. Notwithstanding
the above, if the Second Floor Space is not available on or before December 7,
1998, then this Amendment shall be adjusted to reflect the Third Floor Space
only and the Building Expense Percentage, Minimum Annual Rent, Monthly Rental
Installments and Fourth Additional Space Allowance shall be reduced
proportionately. If the Third Floor Space is not available to Landlord on or
before January 31, 1999, then Tenant may terminate this Amendment upon written
notice to Landlord on or before February 10, 1999. If Landlord has not
completed the tenant finish work in the Fourth Additional Space on or before
March 31, 1999 and such delay is not due to the acts of Landlord, then Tenant
may at its option complete such tenant finish

                                      -3-

improvements and invoice Landlord for the reasonable costs of such tenant finish
improvements not to exceed the Allowance, or Tenant may terminate this Amendment
upon written notice to Landlord on or before April 10, 1999. The Minimum Annual
Rent and Annual Rental Adjustment for the Fourth Additional Space shall not
commence until the Fourth Additional Space Commencement Date, unless the Fourth
Additional Space Commencement Date is delayed as a result of the acts or
omissions of Tenant.

     8.   Tenant's Representations and Warranties.  The undersigned represents
and warrants to Landlord that (i) Tenant is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing in accordance with the laws of the state under which it was
organized; (ii) all action necessary to authorize the execution of this
Amendment has been taken by Tenant; and (iii) the individual executing and
delivering this Amendment on behalf of Tenant has been authorized to do so, and
such execution and delivery shall bind Tenant. Tenant, at Landlord's  request,
shall provide Landlord with evidence of such authority.

     9.   Examination of Amendment.  Submission of this instrument for
examination or signature to Tenant does not constitute a reservation or option,
and it is not effective until execution by and delivery to both Landlord and
Tenant.

     10.  Definitions.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the capitalized
terms used in this Amendment shall have the definitions set forth in the Lease.

     11.  Incorporation.  This Amendment shall be incorporated into and made a
part of the Lease, and all provisions of the Lease not expressly modified or
amended hereby shall remain in full force and effect.
