                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

                                  iVILLAGE INC.
                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into by and
between iVillage Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Douglas W.
McCormick ("Employee") effective as of May 30, 2003 (the "Effective Date").

         In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set
forth, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

         1. EMPLOYMENT. The Company hereby employs Employee to serve as Chief
Executive Officer of the Company with such duties and responsibilities as are
usually vested in the office of chief executive officer of a corporation and as
otherwise set forth in the Company's By-Laws, and in such other executive and
managerial capacities consistent with his status and title as are determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company.

         Unless earlier terminated as set forth herein, the term of employment
shall be for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the Effective Date (the
"Term").

         2. COMPENSATION.

         2.1 Retention Bonus. As an incentive to execute this Agreement,
Employee shall be paid a retention bonus (the "Retention Bonus") of $200,000.

         2.2 Base Salary. During the Term, Employee shall be paid a base salary
at the annual rate of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) (the "Base
Salary"). The Base Salary shall be payable in installments consistent with the
Company's payroll practices.

         2.3 Bonus. Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Company's
bonus plan. For fiscal year 2003, Employee's bonus will be targeted at eighty
percent (80%) of Employee's Base Salary, or four hundred thousand dollars
($400,000). For fiscal year 2004, Employee's bonus will be targeted at one
hundred ten percent (110%) of Employee's Base Salary, or five hundred fifty
thousand dollars ($550,000). Payment of a bonus is based on satisfactory
performance of Company, departmental and individual goals and objectives, as
determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof. However, for fiscal
year 2003, Employee's bonus will be based on the criteria set forth in Exhibit A
to this Agreement. Bonus criteria for fiscal year 2004 will be set by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors no later than the first quarter
of fiscal year 2004.

         2.4 Payment. Payment of all compensation to Employee hereunder
(including any payment under Section 6.1) shall be subject to all applicable
employment and withholding taxes and other customary deductions.

<PAGE>

         3. OTHER EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.

         3.1 Business Expenses. Upon submission of itemized expense statements
in the manner and form regularly specified by the Company, Employee shall be
entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel (generally first class air fare
or business class air fare if first class is unavailable) and other reasonable
business expenses incurred by Employee in the performance of his duties under
this Agreement in accordance with the Company's travel and entertainment policy.

         3.2 Fringe Benefits. The Company shall make Employee the beneficiary of
and Employee shall receive the standard package of fringe benefits as the
Company generally provides to its other senior executive officers including,
without limitation, the ability to participate in any stock option plan,
restricted stock plan, phantom stock plan, deferred compensation plan or other
compensation or benefit plans. Fringe benefits to be included in this standard
benefit package include, but are not limited to, medical and dental insurance
coverage, disability insurance, four (4) weeks of paid vacation per year,
holidays and sick leave. Participation in such fringe benefit programs will be
subject to certain employee contributions that may from time to time regularly
be applicable to such programs.

         3.3 Administrative Assistant. During the term of this Agreement, the
Company shall employ Employee's current administrative assistant (or in
Employee's sole discretion, a substitute administrative assistant) on terms at
least as favorable as her existing compensation package, subject to changes in
Company-wide benefit programs.

         3.4 No Other Benefits. Employee understands and acknowledges that the
compensation specified in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement shall be in lieu of
any and all other compensation, benefits and plans. Nothing in the previous
sentence will preclude Employee from receiving any additional bonuses or
compensation in addition to that contemplated herein provided such has been
approved by the Company's Compensation Committee and Board of Directors.

         4. EMPLOYEE'S BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. Employee shall devote substantially
all of his professional time, attention and energy exclusively to the business
and affairs of the Company and its affiliates, as its business and affairs now
exist and as they hereafter may be changed. In addition, Employee will not
engage in any consulting activity except with the prior written approval of the
Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), or at the direction of the
Company, except for consultancies for companies listed on Exhibit B hereto,
provided that such consultancies do not materially detract from Employee's
ability to perform his obligations hereunder. The foregoing shall not be
construed as preventing Employee from investing his assets in such form or
manner as will not require any significant services on his part in the operation
of the affairs of the businesses or entities in which such investments are made.
In addition, the foregoing shall not be construed as preventing Employee from
engaging in activities involving charitable, educational, religious and other
similar types of organizations and activities, or from serving as a director of
other companies, so long as such activities do not interfere with the
performance of his duties hereunder or otherwise violate the terms hereof.

                                       2

         5. OBLIGATION NOT TO COMPETE. Employee acknowledges the highly
confidential nature of information regarding the Company's businesses,
customers, suppliers, employees, agents, independent contractors and
consultants. Employee hereby agrees that (a) while he is employed by the Company
or is receiving pay pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement and (b) during the
one (1) year period following his termination of employment with the Company
pursuant to Section 6.1 (b) or (d) (the "Restricted Period"), Employee shall not
engage in, assist others in engaging in or provide services to any organization,
proprietorship or entity that engages in or proposes to engage in any business
in which the Company or its affiliates is actively engaged or is actively
considering engagement at the time of termination of Employee's employment.
Examples of specific businesses currently considered to be competitive include,
but are not limited to, any organization or subsidiary, affiliate or group
within such organization, that is directed or targeted to a primarily female
demographic, including but not limited to, Oxygen Media, Inc., The Hearst
Corporation, WE Entertainment Television or any women's portal or other similar
organizations, whether currently existing or as may be formed after execution of
this Agreement and regardless of the medium of distribution ("Competitive
Business"); provided, however, that in the event of Employee's termination of
employment pursuant to Sections 6.1(a) and (c) only, the term "Competitive
Business" shall only apply to Oxygen Media or The Hearst Corporation. Employee
also agrees that, during the Restricted Period, he shall not in any manner,
directly or indirectly, solicit, or encourage any customer, distributor,
supplier, employee, agent, independent contractor, consultant or any other
person or company to terminate or alter its relationship with the Company or its
affiliates. Each of the following activities shall, without limitation, be
deemed to violate the provisions of this Section 5: to engage in, work with,
have an interest or concern in, advise, lend money to, guarantee the debts or
obligations of, or permit one's name or any part thereof to be used in
connection with, an enterprise or endeavor, either individually, in partnership,
or in conjunction with any person or persons, firms, associations, companies, or
corporations, whether as a principal, agent, shareholder, employee, officer,
director, partner, consultant or in any other manner whatsoever, which engages
in a Competitive Business; provided, however, that (i) Employee and/or his
affiliates shall retain the right to invest in or have an interest in entities
provided that said interest does not exceed five percent (5%) of the voting
control of said entity and (ii) the Company and Employee acknowledge that the
Employee and/or his affiliates currently have investments in, consultancies with
and/or serve on the Board of Directors of (and may retain such positions), the
entities listed on Exhibit B attached hereto.

         6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND EFFECTS OF TERMINATION.

         6.1 Events of Termination. Employee's employment with the Company shall
terminate upon any one of the following:

              (a) The Company provides Employee with written notice of the
Company's intent to terminate Employee's employment with the Company without
cause, in which case termination shall be effective on the date specified in
such written notice, which shall be a date no earlier than thirty (30) days
after the date of the notice unless Employee consents to an earlier date. In the
event of termination under this subparagraph (a), the Company shall pay
Employee: (i) the compensation and benefits otherwise payable to Employee under
Section 2.2 through the effective date of termination (including pay for accrued
but unused vacation and any then outstanding expense reimbursements); (ii) an
amount equivalent to the Base Salary that Employee would have earned had he
remained employed through the end of the Term, payable in equal installments
consistent with the Company's payroll practices; (iii) an amount equivalent to
any bonus which would have been earned by Employee had he remained employed
through the end of the Term (at the bonus targets specified in Section 2.3
above; provided that, in the event Employee is terminated in fiscal year 2005,

                                       3
<PAGE>

Employee's bonus for fiscal year 2005 shall be pro rated to reflect the
percentage of that year in which Employee was employed; and provided further
that Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance equal to such bonus
compensation for prior completed fiscal years for which he (A) already received
a bonus or (B) did not satisfy the applicable bonus criteria), payable at the
time such bonuses are generally distributed by the Company; (iv) continued
insurance coverage on Employee for the remainder of the Term (subject to
applicable law and applicable employee contributions); (v) immediate
acceleration of the vesting period for any unvested stock options held by
Employee; and (vi) all stock options held by Employee will remain exercisable
for a period of three (3) years after the effective date of Employee's
termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of
subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) above be less than $700,000. Employee's rights
under the Company's benefit plans of general application shall be determined
under the provisions of those plans. Severance compensation described in
subparagraphs (ii) - (vi) of this section are conditioned upon execution of
appropriate and customary termination and release agreements with the Company to
be negotiated in good faith by the parties. Employee shall continue to comply
with Section 5 after termination pursuant to this subparagraph (a).

              (b) The Company determines, in good faith, that Employee should be
terminated for "cause" as defined in Section 6.2 below, in which case
termination shall be effective on the date that written notice of termination is
hand-delivered to Employee by the Company (or, if the Company is unable to
hand-deliver such notice to Employee, the date that such notice is mailed or
faxed to Employee pursuant to Section 10.9). In the event of termination under
this subparagraph (b), the Company shall pay Employee the compensation and
benefits otherwise payable to Employee under Section 2.2 through the effective
date of termination (including pay for accrued but unused vacation and any then
outstanding expense reimbursements), and the Company will have no obligation to
pay Employee the Base Salary or any bonus or other compensation for the
remainder of the Term. Employee's rights under the Company's benefit plans of
general application shall be determined under the provisions of those plans.
Employee shall continue to comply with Section 5 after termination pursuant to
this subparagraph (b).

              (c) The resignation by Employee for "good reason" as defined in
Section 6.3 below, in which case resignation shall be effective on the date that
written notice of Employee's resignation is delivered to the Company pursuant to
Section 10.9. In the event of resignation under this subparagraph (c), the
Company shall pay Employee the compensation and benefits described in
subparagraph (a) of this section under the same terms and conditions described
in subparagraph (a).

              (d) The effective date of any voluntary termination by Employee
other than for "good reason". In the event of termination under this
subparagraph (d), the Company shall pay Employee the compensation and benefits
described in subparagraph (b) of this section under the same terms and
conditions described in subparagraph (b).

                                       4
<PAGE>

              (e) The date of Employee's death or permanent disability.
Permanent disability may be deemed to occur, at the Company's discretion
communicated by written notice to Employee, if Employee is incapacitated or
disabled by accident or sickness or otherwise so as to render him mentally or
physically incapable of performing the services required to be performed by him
under this Agreement for a period of 120 consecutive days. In the event of
termination under this subparagraph (e), the Company shall pay Employee or his
estate the compensation and benefits otherwise payable to Employee under Section
2.2 through the effective date of termination (including pay for accrued but
unused vacation and any then outstanding expense reimbursements), and the
Company will have no obligation to pay Employee or his estate the Base Salary,
any bonus or other compensation for the remainder of the Term. Employee's rights
under the Company's benefit plans of general application shall be determined
under the provisions of those plans or the provision of any agreement executed
pursuant to those plans. Employee shall continue to comply with Section 5 after
termination as a result of permanent disability pursuant to this subparagraph
(e).

              (f) In the event of a termination of Employee's employment
pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Company and Employee agree to work together in
good faith to issue a joint press release discussing such termination with such
language as shall be mutually agreed by the parties. Under no circumstances
shall Employee be required to obtain suitable employment elsewhere upon
termination of this Agreement or otherwise mitigate any post-termination
payments required to be made to Employee by the Company.

         6.2 Termination For "Cause" Defined. For purposes of Sections 6.1(a)
and 6.1(b) above, "cause" for Employee's termination shall exist at any time
after the happening of one or more of the following events:

         (a) Employee has breached any material provision of this Agreement or
any other agreement between the Company and the Employee, which breach is not
cured within thirty (30) days following the delivery to Employee of written
notice reasonably describing the alleged breach;

         (b) Employee has engaged in habitual neglect of his duties as an
employee of the Company which remains uncured following delivery to Employee of
written notice reasonably describing the offending conduct and a reasonable
opportunity to cure;

         (c) Employee has committed a material act of dishonesty including,
without limitation, Employee's theft, misuse or unauthorized disclosure of
proprietary information;

         (d) Employee is convicted of a felony or a crime involving moral
turpitude not involving a conviction for operating a motor vehicle under the
influence of alcohol or any other motor vehicle violation;

                                       5
<PAGE>

         (e) Any chemical dependency or substance abuse resulting in a
continuous and material impairment of the Employee's ability to perform his
duties as an employee of the Company;

         6.3 Resignation For "Good Reason" Defined. For purposes of Section
6.1(c) above, Employee may regard his employment as being constructively
terminated and may, therefore, resign within thirty (30) days of the Employee's
discovery of the occurrence of one or more of the following events, any of which
shall constitute "good reason" for such resignation:

         (a) Without the Employee's prior written consent, the assignment to the
Employee of any duties materially inconsistent with the Employee's position,
duties, responsibilities and status with the Company as set forth in this
Agreement, whether after a "change in control" event (as defined in Exhibit C
hereto) or otherwise;

         (b) Without Employee's consent in each instance, a reduction by the
Company of the Employee's base salary or of any bonus compensation formula
applicable to Employee, or the Company's failure to pay Employee the applicable
bonus pursuant to Section 2.3 in any fiscal year despite satisfaction of the
corresponding applicable bonus criteria for such fiscal year as set forth in
Exhibit A hereto for fiscal year 2003 or by the Compensation Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors for subsequent fiscal years during the Term;

         (c) The Company or any affiliate(s) requiring the Employee to be based
anywhere other than within twenty-five (25) miles of the area in which he
resides, except for required travel on the Company's or an affiliate's business
to an extent substantially consistent with the Employee's present business
travel obligations;

         (d) A breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement
or any other agreement between the Company and the Employee, which breach is not
cured within thirty (30) days following the delivery to the Company of written
notice reasonably describing the alleged breach;

         (e) The Company's Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors fails
to nominate Employee as a nominee for election to the Company's Board of
Directors upon expiration of Employee's term as a director or Employee is
removed from the Company's Board of Directors during his term without cause;

         (f) As of a date at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the
Term (i.e. November 30, 2004), the Company shall have failed either to provide
Employee with notice of the Company's intention to renew this Agreement on the
same terms or enter into a new agreement with Employee on substantially similar
or better terms than this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company's
failure to offer the Retention Bonus described in Section 2.1 of this Agreement
in any such renewal or new offer shall not constitute "good reason" under this
Section 6.3; and/or

         (g) The occurrence of a "change in control" of the Company (as defined
in Exhibit C), in which case Employee shall be entitled to the severance
compensation described in Section 6.1(c) of this Agreement regardless of whether
or not Employee is offered or accepts a position with the surviving entity after
such change in control.

                                       6

         6.4 Effect of Termination Payments. Employee agrees and acknowledges
that upon Employee's termination of employment with the Company pursuant to
Section 6 of this Agreement, Employee shall only be entitled to the severance
payments and benefits (including stock option vesting), if any, specified in
Section 6 or in the applicable stock option agreements and such severance
payments and benefits shall be in lieu of all other severance payments and
benefits which might otherwise be payable to Employee by the Company.

         7. CONFIDENTIALITY; WORKS FOR HIRE.

         7.1 Confidentiality. As used herein, the term "Confidential

Employee will keep in strict confidence and will not disclose any Confidential
Information including, but not limited to, Confidential Information concerning
any client, customer, or business partner of the Company, to any person or
entity, or make use of any such Confidential Information for Employee's own
purposes or for the benefit of any person or entity, except as may be necessary
in the ordinary course of performing Employee's duties as an employee of the
Company. The term "Confidential Information" does not include information which
(i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a

or (iii) becomes available to the Employee on a non-confidential basis from a
source other than the Company or any of its present of prospective directors,
officers, employees, agents or advisors; provided that with respect to clauses
(ii) and (iii) above, the source of such information was not bound by a
confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary
obligation of confidentiality to the Company or any other party with respect to
such information.

         7.2 Works for Hire. Employee acknowledges that all right, title and
interest he obtains in all works of authorship, designs, computer programs,
copyrights and copyright applications, inventions, discoveries, developments,
know-how, systems, processes, formulae, patent and patent applications, trade
secrets, new products, internal reports and memoranda, strategies, and marketing
plans conceived, devised, developed, written, reduced to practice, or otherwise
created or obtained by Employee in connection with his employment by the Company
(the "Intellectual Property") are regarded as "works for hire". Employee hereby
transfers and assigns to the Company all right, title, and interest to the
Intellectual Property. Promptly after Employee obtains knowledge of any
Intellectual Property, he will disclose it to the Company. Upon request of the
Company, he will execute and deliver all documents or instruments and take all
other action as the Company may deem reasonably necessary to transfer all right,
title, and interest in any Intellectual Property to the Company; to vest in the
Company good, valid and marketable title to such Intellectual Property; to
perfect, by registration or otherwise, trademark, copyright and patent
protection of the Company with respect to such Intellectual Property; and
otherwise to protect the Company's trade secrets and proprietary interest in
such Intellectual Property.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         In the event of the termination of Employee's employment for any
reason, Employee will deliver to the Company all documents, notes, drawings,
blueprints, formulae, specifications, computer programs, data and other
materials of any nature pertaining to any Intellectual Property or to Employee's
work with the Company, and will not take any of the foregoing or any
reproduction of any of the foregoing that is embodied in a tangible medium of
expression.

      8. ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER. Employee's rights and obligations under this
Agreement shall not be transferable by assignment or otherwise, and any
purported assignment, transfer or delegation thereof shall be void. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, any purchaser of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets, any corporate successor to the
Company or any assignee thereof.

      9. NO INCONSISTENT OBLIGATIONS. Employee is aware of no obligations, legal
or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or with his
undertaking employment with the Company.

      10. MISCELLANEOUS.

         10.1 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflicting provision or rule.

         10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the attached
exhibits, contains the entire agreement and understanding between the parties
hereto and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements
between them respecting the subject matter hereof. Employee acknowledges,
represents and warrants to the Company that no oral or written representations
have been made to Employee by the Company, or any representative of the Company
regarding (a) the Company's financial condition or its prospects or (b) any
obligation, commitment or understanding on behalf of the Company to continue to
employ Employee for any specific period of time except as specifically set forth
herein.

         10.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed
by Employee and by a duly authorized representative of the Company (other than
Employee).

         10.4 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of
this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, place or circumstance,
shall be held to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this
Agreement and such term, provision, covenant or condition as applied to other
persons, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect.

         10.5 Construction. The headings and captions of this Agreement are
provided for convenience only and are intended to have no effect in construing
or interpreting this Agreement. The language in all parts of this Agreement
shall be in all cases construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly
for or against the Company or Employee.

         10.6 Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided by this
Agreement are cumulative, and the exercise of any right or remedy by either
party hereto (or by its successor), whether pursuant to this Agreement, to any
other agreement, or to law, shall not preclude or waive such party's right to
exercise any or all other rights and remedies.

         10.7 Nonwaiver. No failure or neglect of either party hereto in any
instance to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder or under law shall
constitute a waiver of any other right, power or privilege or of the same right,
power or privilege in any other instance. All waivers by either party hereto
must be contained in a written instrument signed by the party to be charged and,
in the case of the Company, by an officer of the Company (other than Employee)
or other person duly authorized by the Company.

         10.8 Remedy for Breach. The parties hereto agree that, in the event of
breach or threatened breach of any covenants of Employee, the damage or imminent
damage to the value and the goodwill of the Company's business shall be
inestimable, and that therefore any remedy at law or in damages shall be
inadequate. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that the Company shall be
entitled to apply for injunctive relief against Employee in the event of any
breach or threatened breach of any of such provisions by Employee, in addition
to any other relief (including damages) available to the Company under this
Agreement or under law.

         10.9 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be

termination of employment, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and
proper assistance to the Company as may reasonably be required by the Company in
connection with any litigation in which it or any of its subsidiaries or

                        DEFINITION OF "CHANGE IN CONTROL"

      A "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of the following:

      (a)   An acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting
            securities of the Company (the "Voting Securities") by any "Person"
            (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section
            14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
            "Exchange Act")), immediately after which such Person has
            "Beneficial Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
            under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the then
            outstanding shares of the Company's common stock ("Shares") or the
            combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding Voting
            Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a Change in
            Control has occurred pursuant to this Section, Shares or Voting
            Securities which are acquired in a "Non-Control Acquisition" (as
            hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would
            cause a Change in Control. A "Non-Control Acquisition" shall mean an
            acquisition by (i) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a
            part thereof) maintained by (A) the Company or (B) any corporation
            or other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its
            voting equity securities or equity interest is owned, directly or
            indirectly, by the Company (for purposes of this definition, a
            "Subsidiary"), (ii) the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any
            Person in connection with a "Non-Control Transaction". A
            "Non-Control Transaction" shall mean a merger, consolidation or
            reorganization involving the Company in connection with which (i)
            the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger,
            consolidation or reorganization, own, directly or indirectly,
            immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization,
            at least seventy percent (70%) of the combined voting power of the
            outstanding Voting Securities of the corporation resulting from such
            merger, consolidation or reorganization (the "Surviving
            Corporation") in substantially the same proportion as their
            ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger,
            consolidation or reorganization; (ii) the individuals who were
            members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of
            the agreement providing for such merger, consolidation or
            reorganization constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the
            board of directors of the Surviving Corporation or a corporation
            beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, a majority of the
            Voting Securities of the Surviving Corporation; and (iii) no Person
            (other than the Company, any Subsidiary, any employee benefit plan
            (or any trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company, the
            Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary, or any Person who,
            immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization
            had Beneficial Ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the
            then outstanding Voting Securities) owns, directly or indirectly,
            fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the
            Surviving Corporation's then outstanding voting securities; and

<PAGE>

      (b)   The individuals who, as of March 13, 1999 are members of the Board
            of Directors of the Company (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any
            reason to constitute at least fifty percent (50%) of the members of
            the Board; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination
            for election by the Company's common stockholders, of any new
            director was approved by a vote of at least fifty percent (50%) of
            the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this
            definition, be considered a member of the Incumbent Board; provided,
            further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of
            the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a
            result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest" (as
            described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or
            other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or
            on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a "Proxy Contest")
            including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any
            Election Contest or Proxy Contest.

                            FIFTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE

         THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 30th day of June, 2003, by and between

                             W I T N E S S E T H :
                              - - - - - - - - - -

         Landlord is the landlord and Tenant is the tenant under that certain
Agreement of Lease dated as of March 14, 2000 (the "Original Lease"), as amended

hereinafter referred to as the "Lease").

         Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord currently leases to Tenant, and Tenant
currently leases from Landlord, the entire rentable area of the fourteenth
(14th) floor in the building located at 500 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York
(the "500 Building") and the entire rentable area of the eleventh (11th),
twelfth (12th) and thirteenth (13th) floors in the building located at 512
Seventh Avenue, New York, New York (the "512 Building") (collectively, the
"Demised Premises").

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

         Tenant desires to surrender possession of, and terminate its tenancy
under the Lease with respect to, all of the Demised Premises other than (i) the
entire rentable area of the fourteenth (14th) floor in the 500 Building, and
(ii) a portion of the twelfth (12th) floor in the 512 Building consisting of
approximately 5,638 rentable square feet as shown on Exhibit A annexed hereto
and hereby made a part hereof (the "Server Room"; the Server Room, together with
the entire rentable area of the fourteenth (14th) floor in the 500 Building,
being hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Retained Space"), and
Landlord is willing to accept such partial surrender and agree to such partial
termination subject to and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

         Landlord and Tenant desire to modify and amend the Lease in the
respects hereinafter set forth.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1. Effective as of the Effective Date (defined below), Tenant shall
irrevocably relinquish and surrender to Landlord all of Tenant's right, title
and interest under the Lease with respect to the following spaces (collectively,
the "Relinquished Space"): (i) the entire rentable area of the eleventh (11th)
and thirteenth (13th) floors in the 512 Building, and (ii) the entire balance of
the rentable area of the twelfth (12th) floor in the 512 Building exclusive of
the Server Room, and, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
Landlord shall accept such surrender. On or before the Effective Date, Tenant
shall surrender and deliver the Relinquished Space to Landlord in a condition
which will render such space reasonably suitable for viewing by prospective

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

replacement tenants, free and clear of all of Tenant's employees, and of all
tenancies, subtenancies and persons in possession, other than the existing
sublease dated October 2001 (the "Sublease") of the entire rentable area of the
eleventh (11th) floor in the 512 Building between Tenant, as sublandlord, and
Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. ("D&B"), as subtenant. Exhibit B annexed hereto and
hereby made a part hereof lists (i) the items of personal property, equipment,
fixtures, trade fixtures and furniture (collectively, "Personal Property")
which, to the extent Tenant has not already done so, Tenant shall remove, at
Tenant's expense, from the Relinquished Space reasonably promptly after the
Effective Date (collectively, the "Retained Items"), and (ii) the items of
Personal Property which Tenant shall surrender with the Relinquished Space on
the Effective Date (such items, together with the balance of Tenant's existing
installation not listed as being among the Retained Items, being hereinafter
referred to as the "Relinquished Existing Installations"). Tenant shall repair
and restore any damage (other than de minimus damage) to the Demised Premises
created by Tenant's removal of the Retained Items. The Relinquished Existing
Installations (a) shall not be removed by Tenant from the Relinquished Space and
instead shall be deemed surrendered to Landlord with the Relinquished Space as
of the Effective Date, and (b) shall become the property of Landlord and shall
be deemed to have been relinquished, abandoned and conveyed by Tenant to
Landlord effective as of the Effective Date. Tenant represents to Landlord that
Tenant is, and that Tenant will be on the Effective Date, the lawful owner of
the Relinquished Existing Installations and that the same is, and that the same
will be on the Effective Date, free and clear of all claims, liens, encumbrances
and security interests, in each case other than the rights, if any, of Landlord
or Landlord's mortgagees and mezzanine lenders and, as to the eleventh (11th)
floor in the 512 Building only, the rights of D&B under the Sublease. On the
Effective Date, Tenant shall assign to Landlord all guaranties and warranties,
if any, with respect to the Relinquished Existing Installations.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

         2. (a) Landlord shall have the option, at Landlord's expense,
exercisable at any time upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant, to
construct a common corridor on the twelfth (12th) floor of the 512 Building in
order to permit access to the Server Room and the balance of the space on the
12th floor in the 512 Building, which common corridor shall comply with
applicable law, and, at Landlord's option, shall be constructed in a manner so
as to afford Landlord and any other tenant(s) of a portion or portions of the
balance of the 12th floor of the 512 Building access to the bathrooms,
utilities, mechanical and HVAC systems on such floor. Landlord shall have the
option, at Landlord's expense, exercisable at any time upon reasonable prior
written notice to Tenant, to separate the utilities, mechanical and HVAC systems
presently existing on the 12th floor of the 512 Building so that the same
service both the Server Room and the balance of the 12th floor. All such work
shall be done in a manner so as to minimize disruption of Tenant's use of the
Server Room. Nothing contained in this subparagraph 2(a) shall limit Tenant's
obligations under Exhibit C attached hereto. For so long as the Server Room
constitutes a portion of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall continue to have
reasonable access to the utility lines and panel boxes servicing, but located
outside of the perimeter of, the Server Room, including for the purposes of
maintaining and repairing the same. Landlord shall have no obligation to perform
any other work at or to the Retained Space or make any monetary contribution to
Tenant in order to ready the Retained Space for Tenant's continued occupancy
thereof or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

              (b) Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall perform, as
promptly as commercially reasonable following the Effective Date and in any
event within sixty (60) days after Tenant's receipt of the requisite building
permits therefor, all of the work listed on Exhibit C annexed hereto and hereby
made a part hereof (the "Tenant's Required Work") in or affecting the Retained
Space and the Relinquished Space, which work hereby is approved by Landlord
(subject to the submission of plans and specifications for Landlord approval to
the extent preparation of plans and specifications, and submission of the same
for approval, is required under the Original Lease or applicable law) and which
work Landlord and Tenant have agreed constitutes all the work necessary for
Tenant to perform to effect the surrender of the Relinquished Space and the
possession and occupancy thereafter by Tenant of the Retained Space alone.
Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall promptly apply for all requisite building
permits required in connection with Tenant's Required Work and, upon the
completion thereof, Tenant shall obtain all requisite sign-offs and approvals
therefor. All application, permit, filing and like fees and architect's,
engineer's, expediter's and other professional fees incurred in connection
therewith shall be borne by Tenant. Such work shall be performed with due
diligence in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of Article 13 of
the Original Lease.

              (c) Upon the completion of all of Tenant's Required Work and
Tenant's obtaining of any requisite sign-offs and lien waivers therefor and a
certificate from Tenant's licensed architect that Tenant's Required Work has
been completed, Landlord shall confirm such completion in writing.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

              (d) Tenant's performance of Tenant's Required Work shall satisfy
all of Tenant's obligations with respect to the Relinquished Space, including
without limitation any additional obligations of Tenant which otherwise may have
arisen under paragraph 2 of the Second Amendment to Lease. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to relieve Tenant from any of Tenant's additional
obligations under paragraph 2 of the Second Amendment to Lease with respect to
the Retained Space, all of which are hereby ratified and confirmed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that
Tenant shall have no obligation to comply with Section 2(b) of the Second
Amendment to Lease between the parties dated as of January 10, 2001 with respect
to the 14th floor of the 500 Building or with respect to the 12th floor of the
500 Building, except as specified on Exhibit C hereto.

         3. To and until the later to occur of (i) the Effective Date, and (ii)
the date on which Tenant surrenders the Relinquished Space to Landlord, Tenant
(x) shall continue to pay fixed rent, electricity charges, Tenant's Tax Payment,
porter's wage escalation, and all other items of additional rent and other sums
and charges for the Relinquished Space and for the Retained Space in accordance
with the terms of the Lease, calculated without regard to this Agreement, and
(y) shall otherwise continue to comply with the terms thereof. Tenant shall be
deemed to have fulfilled the requirements of subdivision (ii) of the preceding
sentence notwithstanding the fact that Tenant has not commenced Tenant's
Required Work as of the surrender date.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

         4. Time shall be of the essence as to Tenant's obligation to surrender
the Relinquished Space to Landlord on or before the Effective Date; provided,
however, that if for any reason whatsoever Tenant fails to surrender the
Relinquished Space to Landlord in accordance with paragraph 1 above within
fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of the Effective Date, this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in effect on all of its terms, but Tenant shall pay to
Landlord on demand, as additional rent (which shall be in addition to the fixed
rent and additional rent payable for the Retained Space and the Relinquished
Space calculated pursuant to paragraph 3 above), the additional sum of $2,500
per day for each day during which Tenant holds over in the Relinquished Space
beyond such 15-day period. In addition and without limiting Landlord's other
remedies provided for above, Landlord shall also be entitled to proceed against
Tenant with a holdover proceeding in the Civil Court of the City of New York
with respect to the Relinquished Space. Tenant warrants and represents that it
will not defend against, interpose in such proceeding an answer and/or
counterclaim, or otherwise contest any such holdover proceeding commenced by
Landlord to recover possession of the Relinquished Space, except for a defense
based on Tenant's good faith interpretation of this Agreement (as opposed to
merely for delaying purposes). Tenant hereby agrees that in connection with any
such holdover proceeding it: (a) consents to Landlord's service of process by
certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address first above written for
Tenant; (b) admits the existence of the Lease, as amended hereby; (c) admits
that the term of the Lease, as amended hereby, expires on the Effective Date
with respect to the Relinquished Space; (d) consents to Landlord's right to
terminate Tenant's occupancy of the Relinquished Space on the Effective Date
based upon the obligations herein

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

contained; (e) admits that Landlord has standing to commence and prosecute a
holdover summary proceeding with respect to the Relinquished Space only if
Tenant holds over in the Relinquished Space; and (f) if Tenant holds over in the
Relinquished Space, consents to the immediate issuance of a warrant of eviction
with respect to the Relinquished Space only without any stays of the execution
thereof, and Tenant hereby waives the right to appeal therefrom except for an
appeal based upon Tenant's good faith interpretation of this Agreement (as
opposed to merely for delaying purposes). In the event that a bankruptcy
proceeding is filed by or against Tenant, then, in such event, Tenant, to the
extent permitted under applicable law, hereby consents to the immediate lifting
of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code so as to permit Landlord
to commence and/or prosecute any necessary action or proceeding to regain
possession of the Relinquished Space. If Landlord elects to commence a holdover
or other action or proceeding by reason of Tenant's failure to timely comply
with Tenant's obligations hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
Landlord's reasonable and actual attorneys' fees and expenses and costs incurred
in prosecuting such action and/or proceeding.

         5. From and after the later to occur of (i) the Effective Date, and
(ii) the date on which Tenant surrenders the Relinquished Space to Landlord
(irrespective of whether Tenant has commenced Tenant's Required Work), and for
the balance of the term of the Lease, as amended hereby, and the Extension Term
(if the Extension Option is exercised), (i) the premises demised under the
Lease, as amended hereby, shall be comprised solely of the Retained Space, and
(ii) all references under the Lease, as amended hereby, to the "Demised
Premises" shall, for all purposes (including the exercise of any Extension
Option), be deemed to mean solely the Retained Space.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

         6. Effective as of, and conditional upon the occurrence of, the
Effective Date, the Lease shall be modified as follows:

              (a) Section 1.04 of the Original Lease, as amended by paragraph
6(b) of the Third Amendment to Lease, shall be further amended such that the
annual fixed rent to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease shall be at
the rate of One Million Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($1,470,000.00),
exclusive of electricity (which shall continue to be payable by Tenant pursuant
to Article 16 of the Original Lease), which shall be payable in equal monthly
installments of One Hundred Twenty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($122,500.00) each.

              (b) Provided that Tenant is not then in monetary or material
non-monetary default under the Lease, as amended hereby, beyond any applicable
period of notice and grace, Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time credit
against Tenant's obligation to pay fixed rent in the aggregate amount of One
Million Nine Hundred Sixty Thousand Hundred Dollars ($1,960,000.00) (the
"Credit"), which shall be applied against Tenant's obligation to pay fixed rent
for the period commencing on January 1, 2014 and ending on April 30, 2015.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Credit shall not be applied against
electricity charges, Tenant's Tax Payment, or any other item of additional rent,
all of which amounts shall be paid without abatement in accordance with the
terms of the Lease, as amended hereby. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay porter's wage escalation under
Section 5.07(h) of the Original Lease accruing solely during the period from
January 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015. The Credit shall not be taken into
account in determining the annual fixed rent payable by Tenant during the
Extension Term, if the Extension Option is exercised.

         8. Modifying Article 32 of the Original Lease, notices to Landlord
shall be sent to Landlord to the address set forth on the first page of this
Agreement, with a copy simultaneously only of notices of default or lease
termination to Gerstein Strauss & Rinaldi LLP, 57 West 38th Street, 9th Floor,

         9. Provided that all requisite lender consents to this Agreement set
forth in paragraph 11 below shall have been obtained within the time period set
forth in paragraph 11 below, Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to
draw down in full on the Letter of Credit in the amount of Eight Million Four
Hundred Seventy-Four Thousand Three Hundred Eighty and 10/100 Dollars
($8,474,380.10) being held by Landlord as security under the Lease and to retain
and apply the entire proceeds thereof (other than the sum of Five Hundred
Forty-Seven Thousand Fifty-Eight and 50/100 Dollars ($547,058.50) thereof,
representing the entire unpaid balance of the Construction Payment due to Tenant
pursuant to the Lease, as amended hereby, which sum of Five Hundred Forty-Seven
Thousand Fifty-Eight and 50/100 Dollars ($547,058.50) shall be paid by Landlord
to Tenant out of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit immediately after
Landlord's receipt of such entire proceeds), in reimbursement of amounts
heretofore expended by Landlord on the Construction Payment and brokerage
commissions in connection with the Lease and amounts Landlord reasonably
anticipates expending in order to relet the Relinquished Space, and/or for such
other matters as Landlord may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
Tenant confirms that provided all requisite lender consents to this Agreement
set forth in paragraph 11 below shall have been obtained, the Letter of Credit
and the entire proceeds thereof (other than the sum of Five

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand Fifty-Eight and 50/100 Dollars ($547,058.50) of
such proceeds, which shall be paid to Tenant as aforesaid) shall constitute the
sole, exclusive and absolute property of Landlord and Tenant shall not make a
claim that the receipt and retention of such proceeds shall constitute a
preference by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly take all appropriate action and
execute any and all authorizations, instruments and documents of any kind as may
be necessary or required to permit Landlord's draw down in full of the Letter of
Credit. Tenant has represented to Landlord that the cost of drawing down upon
the Letter of Credit does not exceed $11,000, and Landlord and Tenant shall each
bear 50% of such cost. Landlord expressly agrees that all requirements and
conditions of the Lease to payment of the balance payable to Tenant of the
Construction Payment have been met, satisfied or waived, that the balance of the
Construction Payment now due and payable by Landlord and unpaid is Five Hundred
Forty-Seven Thousand Fifty-Eight and 50/100 Dollars ($547,058.50), and that if
such balance is not paid in full to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of
this paragraph 9 and this Agreement terminates for any reason, this sentence
shall survive termination of this Agreement and Landlord shall be liable
immediately to pay said amount to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that upon its
receipt of said sum of Five Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand Fifty-Eight and 50/100
Dollars ($547,058.50), Landlord shall have fulfilled all of Landlord's
obligations under the Lease, as amended hereby, with respect to the Construction
Payment. Landlord's timely payment to Tenant of said sum of Five Hundred
Forty-Seven Thousand Fifty-Eight and 50/100 Dollars ($547,058.50) shall be a
condition to Tenant's obligations hereunder.

         10. Not later than three (3) business days after the receipt of all
requisite lender consents described in paragraph 11 below, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant an attornment agreement in the form of Exhibit D attached
hereto and made a part hereof in all material respects (the "Attornment
Agreement") executed by Landlord in which Landlord exercises its option,
pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Sublease and Section 3 of the consent thereto
dated as of December 3, 2001 (the "Consent"), that D&B shall attorn directly to
Landlord on the terms of the Sublease. Promptly after the execution hereof,
Tenant shall execute and shall cause D&B, as subtenant under the Sublease, to
execute the Attornment Agreement and Tenant shall deliver partially executed
counterparts of the same to Landlord upon Tenant's receipt of counterparts
thereof executed by Landlord. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord an assignment of Tenant's interest as sublandlord under the
Sublease in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord represents to
Tenant that Landlord has reviewed the Sublease and the representations made by
D&B in the Attornment Agreement, is satisfied with the same, acknowledges that
Landlord is not entitled to payment by Tenant of any amounts in respect of the
Sublease under Section 9.10 of the Original Lease, and accepts Tenant's interest
as sublandlord under the Sublease without recourse to or warranty by Tenant,
except that Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that to the best of Tenant's
knowledge, all of the representations and warranties made by D&B in the
Attornment Agreement are true and correct in all material respects.

         11. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of Landlord and
Tenant hereunder are conditional on Landlord's obtaining the written consent to
all of the terms of this Agreement from (i) Wachovia Bank, National Association,
and Merrill

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

Lynch Mortgage Capital Inc., respectively, the holders of the first and second
mortgages on the 500 Building and 512 Building (collectively, "Landlord's
Mortgagees") and from (ii) Capital Trust and (iii) SL Green, each of which is a
mezzanine lender to Landlord whose consent is required for the transaction
provided for herein and which lenders collectively are all of Landlord's
mezzanine lenders and are the only persons in addition to Landlord's Mortgagees
whose consent is required for the transaction provided for herein. Landlord
shall promptly request such consents in writing, and each request shall, inter
alia, reference the Credit provided for in paragraph 6(b) hereof. Landlord shall
provide Tenant with a copy of each such consent promptly after Landlord's
receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason whatsoever all
such requisite written consents are not obtained within twenty (20) business
days after the date hereof, then this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of
no force or effect, and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect on all
of its terms as if this Agreement had not been entered into. Landlord shall not
be required to modify the terms of any of its existing loans or make any payment
to any of its lenders (other than customary legal and processing fees, the first
$5,000 of which shall be paid by Landlord and the balance, if any, shall be paid
50% by each of Landlord and Tenant) or commence an action against any of its
lenders in order to obtain any of the requisite consents.

         12. The "Effective Date" shall be the first day on which all of the
following conditions shall have been fulfilled:

              (a) Landlord shall have received all requisite lender consents
pursuant to paragraph 11 above;

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

              (b) D&B and Tenant shall have executed and delivered to Landlord
the Attornment Agreement in accordance with paragraph 10 above; and

              (c) Landlord shall have received proceeds of the Letter of Credit
in the amount of Seven Million Nine Hundred Twenty-Seven Thousand Three Hundred
and Twenty-One and 60/100 Dollars ($7,927,321.60) payable to Landlord in
accordance with paragraph 9 above.

              If for any reason the Effective Date shall not have occurred on or
before August 15, 2003, then this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no
force or effect and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect on all of
its terms.

         13. Tenant hereby covenants and represents that (i) it has not assigned
the Lease, as amended hereby, and except for the Sublease it has not sublet all
or a portion of the Demised Premises or allowed all or a portion of the Demised
Premises to be used by any third party in violation of the terms of the Lease,
(ii) it has done nothing which would give any person or entity a claim in and to
the Demised Premises and/or the Lease, as amended hereby, in violation of the
terms of the Lease, and (iii) it will not assign the Lease, as amended hereby,
or sublet all or a portion of the Demised Premises, or allow all or a portion of
the Demised Premises to be used by any third party, in each case in a manner
which is in violation of the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby, and in any
event will not sublet all or any portion of the Relinquished Space. Landlord
agrees that in determining any amount payable to Landlord under Section 9.10 of
the Lease, the amount of the Credit shall be added to "Assignment Expenses" and
to "Tenant's Basic Cost," as applicable. Landlord agrees that notwithstanding
Sections 9.02-9.04 of the Original Lease, Landlord shall not be entitled to
exercise any recapture, leaseback or

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

termination right in a manner which would deprive Tenant of the opportunity to
recover from an assignee or sublessee the amount of the Credit. In order to give
effect to the preceding sentence, Landlord agrees that the following shall apply
(pro-rated in the event of a transaction involving less than the entire Demised
Premises) (i) in the event of termination of the Lease, as amended hereby,
pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Original lease, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the
dollar amount (without any present value discount) of all or any portion of the
Credit not yet enjoyed by Tenant, (ii) in the event of a leaseback by Landlord
pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Original Lease, the amount of the Credit shall
be added to the rental obligations of Landlord to Tenant, and (iii) in the event
of another or different transaction not arising out of or related to a
termination of the Lease, as amended hereby, resulting from a default by Tenant
thereunder, Landlord shall be liable to pursue its rights with respect to such
transaction only in a manner which shall not deprive Tenant of the opportunity
to recover from an assignee or sublessee the amount of the Credit.

         14. Tenant acknowledges that as of the date hereof, Landlord has
complied with all of Landlord's obligations under the Lease, subject to the
matters described below in this paragraph 14, and is not in default in respect
of any of Landlord's obligations under the Lease. Landlord acknowledges that as
of the date hereof, Tenant has complied with all of Tenant's obligations under
the Lease, subject to the matters described below in this paragraph 14, and is
not in default in any of Tenant's obligations under the Lease. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge the
existence of an outstanding dispute between them with respect to Tenant's right
to receive payment of, or a refund or credit in respect of, a

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

proportionate share of a real estate tax abatement received by Landlord for the
Tax Years 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 based on tax escalation payments made by
Tenant prior to the date of this Agreement. Landlord and Tenant both wish to
settle such dispute and, to that end and in full settlement and satisfaction of
such dispute, (i) Tenant is hereby released from Tenant's obligation to pay the
outstanding balance of the amount billed by Landlord to Tenant for Tenant's Tax
Payment for the second half installment of the 2002-2003 Tax Year (it being
understood and agreed that any amounts heretofore paid by Tenant to Landlord on
account of such installment shall be retained by Landlord), and (iii) Tenant
shall receive a one-time rent credit in the aggregate amount of $10,500 to be
applied against Tenant's monthly installment of fixed rent due under the Lease,
as amended hereby, for the month of August 2003. Such rent credit shall be in
addition to the Credit provided for in paragraph 6(b) above. Upon Tenant's
receipt of such credit in the sum of $10,500, Landlord and Tenant shall be
deemed to have released one another from any claims and demands for the
overpayment or underpayment of real estate tax escalation under the Lease, as
amended hereby, through the Tax Year ending June 30, 2003; provided, however,
that nothing contained herein shall relieve or release Tenant from its
obligation to pay Tenant's Tax Payments in respect of the 2003-2004 Tax Year and
for the balance of the term of the Lease, as amended hereby.

         15. Landlord further acknowledges that it has not yet delivered to
Tenant a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement between Tenant
and Landlord's Mortgagees and Tenant hereby irrevocably withdraws its request to
receive the same from Landlord's Mortgagees, but such withdrawal shall be
without prejudice to Tenant's right under the Lease (as amended hereby) to
receive an SNDA from any future mortgagee.

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

         16. Landlord shall have the option (the "Partial Recapture Option"),
exercisable by giving written notice to Tenant ("Landlord's Notice") at any time
during the initial term hereof, to cause Tenant to surrender the Server Room on
a date (the "Surrender Date") specified in Landlord's Notice, which Surrender
Date shall be at least 90 days after the date of Landlord's Notice. If Landlord
exercises the Partial Recapture Option, then and in such event (i) Tenant shall
surrender the Server Room free and clear of all of Tenant's employees,
subtenants, possessory rights and persons in possession, and otherwise in the
condition hereinafter set forth on or before the Surrender Date, and (ii)
effective as of the later to occur of (x) the Surrender Date, and (y) the date
upon which Tenant actually surrenders the Server Room in the condition
hereinafter set forth, (A) the Server Room shall no longer be deemed to be part
of the Demised Premises, (B) the annual fixed rent to be paid by Tenant to
Landlord under the Lease, as amended hereby, shall be reduced to One Million Two
Hundred Seventy-Two Six Hundred Seventy Dollars ($1,272,670), exclusive of
electricity, which shall be payable in equal monthly installments of One Hundred
Six Thousand Fifty-Five and 83/100 Dollars ($106,055.83), (C) the Credit shall
be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction (not to exceed
1.0), the numerator of which shall be an amount equal to the difference between
(x) the number of calendar months in the period from the Effective Date through
April 2015, less (y) the number of calendar months in the period from the
Effective Date through the Surrender Date, and the denominator of which shall be
the number of calendar months in the period from the Effective Date through
April 2015,

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

multiplied by (ii) Two Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand One Hundred Six and 67/100
Dollars ($263,106.67), (D) the Wage Rate Multiple set forth in Section 5.07(g)
of the Original Lease, as amended by paragraph 6(d) of the Third Amendment to
Lease and as further amended by paragraph 6(f) hereof, shall be reduced to
36,362, and (E) Tenant's 512 Proportionate Share shall be reduced to zero
percent (0%), the rentable square foot area of the Demised Premises in the 512
Building shall be reduced to zero, and Tenant shall no longer be required to pay
real estate tax escalation in respect of the Server Room. Landlord's Notice
shall specify whether Tenant shall (i) surrender the Server Room in its then
"as-is" condition as of the date specified in Landlord's Notice, or (ii)
demolish the Server Room, at Tenant's expense, substantially in accordance with
Landlord's building-standard demolition requirements, and in either event Tenant
shall promptly perform the work specified in Exhibit C annexed hereto
specifically required to be performed after Tenant's surrender of the Server
Room. Tenant shall surrender the Server Room in the condition specified in
Landlord's Notice, but in either case, (x) Tenant shall be entitled to remove
its computers and computer data, server, racks and storage equipment and related
peripherals and accessories from the Server Room, and (y) Tenant shall surrender
the Server Room to Landlord free of all debris and free of all hazardous
materials installed by Tenant.

         17. This Agreement, together with the Lease, constitutes the entire
Agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters stated herein, and
may not be amended or modified unless such amendment or modification shall be in
writing and shall have been signed by the party against whom enforcement is
sought.

         18. As modified hereby, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of

County of New York.

         19. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that
it neither consulted nor negotiated with any broker or finder with respect to
this Agreement other than Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc. ("Newmark") and

incurred by Tenant as a result of or in connection with any claim, demand or

         20. This Agreement shall be construed and governed by the laws of the
State of New York.

         21. No waiver by either party of any failure or refusal by the other
party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any
other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.

unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such
provision other than to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable shall not

the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and
