Upon the transfer of the Liquidating Trust Assets, the Liquidating Trustee shall

without limitation, the Company, the Liquidating Trustee, and the Beneficiaries)
shall treat the transfer of Liquidating Trust Assets to the Liquidating Trust,
as set forth in this Section 1.4 and in accordance with the Plan, as a transfer
to the Beneficiaries, followed by a transfer by such Beneficiaries to the
Liquidating Trust, and the Beneficiaries of this Liquidating Trust shall be
treated as the grantors and owners hereof.

      1.5 Reliance. The Liquidating Trustee may rely upon the Company's filed

Interests and shall be recorded and set forth in a register maintained by the
Liquidating Trustee expressly for such purpose. All references in this Trust
Agreement to the Beneficiaries or the holders of Liquidating Trust Interests
shall be read to mean holders of record as set forth in the official register
maintained by the Liquidating Trustee and shall not mean any beneficial owner
not recorded on such official registry. Unless expressly provided herein, the
Liquidating Trustee may establish a record date that it deems practicable for
determining the Beneficiaries for a particular purpose. The distribution of
Liquidating Trust Interests to the Beneficiaries shall be accomplished as set
forth in the Plan.
<PAGE>
      2.2 Allocation of Beneficial Interests. Each holder of the common capital
stock of the Company on the record date established by the Liquidating Trustee

a proportional beneficial share and interest in the Liquidating Trust, subject
to any liabilities of and claims against their ratable portion thereof.

      2.3 Transferability of Liquidating Trust Interests. The Liquidating Trust
Interests shall not be transferable, provided that the Liquidating Trust
Interests shall be assignable or transferable by will, intestate succession, or
operation of law and that the executor or administrator of the estate of a
holder of a Liquidating Trust Interest may mortgage, pledge, grant a security
interest in, hypothecate or otherwise encumber, the Liquidating Trust Interests
held by the estate of such holder if necessary in order to borrow money to pay
estate, succession or inheritance taxes or the expenses of administering the
estate of the holder, upon written notice to, and written consent of, the
Liquidating Trustee, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

      2.4 Distribution; Withholding. In the discretion of the Liquidating
Trustee and subject to the withholding of property on account of Claims pursuant

from the Liquidating Trust to each holder of a Liquidating Trust Interest Cash
on hand (including, without limitation, all net Cash income plus all net Cash
proceeds from the liquidation of Liquidating Trust Assets, including, without

Section 3.12 below) pro rata in proportion to such holders' respective
Liquidating Trust Interests; provided, however, that the Liquidating Trustee
shall not be required to make any distributions prior the Final Liquidating
Payment on or before December 31, 2005 upon expiration of the Company's
statutory period for dissolution under Delaware law. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, prior to making any distribution to holders of Liquidating
Trust Interests, the Liquidating Trustee may retain such amounts (i) as are
reasonably necessary to meet contingent liabilities and to maintain the value of
the Liquidating Trust Assets during liquidation, (ii) to pay reasonable
estimated expenses (including, without limitation, any taxes imposed on the
Liquidating Trust or in respect of the Liquidating Trust Assets), and (iii) to
satisfy other liabilities incurred or assumed by the Liquidating Trust (or to
which the Liquidating Trust Assets are otherwise subject), all for the term of
the Liquidating Trust and in accordance with this Trust Agreement and the Plan.
The Liquidating Trustee may withhold from amounts distributable to any Person
any and all amounts, determined in the Liquidating Trustee's reasonable sole
discretion, required by any law, regulation, rule, ruling, directive or other
governmental requirement.

      2.5 Manner of Payment or Distribution. All Distributions made by the
Liquidating Trustee to holders of Liquidating Trust Interests shall be payable
to the holders of Liquidating Trust Interests of record as of the 10th day prior
to the date scheduled for the distribution, unless such day is not a Business
Day, then such day shall be the following Business Day (the "Record Date"). If
the Distribution shall be in Cash, the Liquidating Trustee shall distribute such
Cash by wire, check, or such other method as the Liquidating Trustee deems
appropriate under the circumstances.

      deduction or credit will be allocated to the Beneficiaries in accordance
      with their relative beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust.

                  B. As soon as possible after the Effective Time and Date, the

      its assets.

                  D. The Liquidating Trustee may request an expedited
      determination of Taxes of the Liquidating Trust, for all returns filed

withhold from any property to be distributed under this Trust Agreement the

                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

      6.1 Delivery of Liquidating Trust Distributions. All distributions under
this Trust Agreement to any Beneficiary shall be made at the address of such
holder as set forth on the books and records/ of the Liquidating Trust, the
Company or either or their agents, unless the Liquidating Trustee has been
notified in writing of a change of address, including, without
<PAGE>
limitation, by the filing of a proof of claim or interest by such holder that
contains an address for such holder different from the address reflected on the
record for such holder. In the event that any distribution to any holder is
returned as undeliverable, the Liquidating Trustee shall use reasonable efforts
to determine the current address of such holder, but no distribution to such
holder shall be made unless and until the Liquidating Trustee has determined the
then current address of such holder, at which time such distribution shall be
made to such holder without interest; provided, however, that such undeliverable
or unclaimed distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property at the expiration
of one year from the date of distribution. The Liquidating Trustee shall
reallocate the undeliverable and unclaimed distributions for the benefit of the
holders of other Beneficiaries.

      6.2 Manner of Payment. At the option of the Liquidating Trustee, any Cash
payment to be made under this Trust Agreement may be made by a check or wire
transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements.

      6.3 Cash Distributions. No Cash distributions shall be required to be made
in an amount less than $10,000. Any funds so withheld and not distributed shall
be held in reserve and distributed in subsequent distributions. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all cash shall be distributed in the Final Liquidating
distribution of the Liquidating Trust.

      7.1 Resignation. The Liquidating Trustee may resign by giving not less
than ninety (90) days' prior written notice thereof to the holders of
Liquidating Trust Interests. Such resignation shall become effective on the
later to occur of: (i) the day specified in such notice; or (ii) the appointment
of a successor Trustee and the acceptance by such successor Trustee of such
appointment. If a successor Trustee is not appointed or does not accept its
appointment within ninety (90) days following delivery of notice of resignation,
the Liquidating Trustee may petition the Chancery Court for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

      7.2 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee
appointed hereunder shall execute an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and shall file such acceptance with the Liquidating Trust records.
Thereupon, such successor Trustee shall, without any further act, become vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts and duties of its
predecessor in the Liquidating Trust with like effect as if originally named
herein; provided, however, that an incapacitated, or resigning Trustee shall,
nevertheless, when requested in writing by the successor Trustee, execute and
deliver an instrument or instruments conveying and transferring to such
successor Trustee under the Liquidating Trust all the estates, properties,
rights, powers, and trusts of such predecessor Trustee.

to indemnification under this Section 8.1) shall be satisfied first from the
Contingency Reserve Assets and then from the Liquidating Trust Assets. The
Liquidating Trustee shall be entitled to rely, in good faith, on the advice of
its retained professionals. The Liquidating Trust shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Liquidating Trustee and its Trustees, designees, and professionals,
and all duly designated agents and representatives thereof, from and against and
in respect of all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, and expenses,
including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs arising out of or due to
their actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions, with
respect to the Liquidating Trust or the implementation or administration of this
Trust Agreement and the Plan; provided, however, that no such indemnification
will be made for such actions or omissions as a result of willful misconduct,
fraud, or gross negligence.

                REPORTS TO HOLDERS OF LIQUIDATING TRUST INTERESTS

      9.1 Securities Laws, Tax and Other Reports to Holders of Liquidating Trust
Interests.

            (a) Securities Laws. The issuance of Liquidating Trust Interests
under the Plan shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of
1933 and applicable state and local laws requiring registration of securities.
If the Liquidating Trustee determines, with the advice of counsel, that the
Liquidating Trust is required to comply with the registration and reporting
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, then the Liquidating Trustee shall
take any and all actions to comply with such reporting requirements and file
periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

            (b) Other Reporting. If the Liquidating Trustee is not required to
file the periodic reports referred to in Section 9.1(a) above, as soon as
practicable after December 31 of each year, and as soon as practicable upon
termination of the Liquidating Trust, the Liquidating Trustee shall submit to
each holder of Liquidating Trust Interests appearing on its records as of such
date or the date of termination a written report by filing such report on
abbreviated Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such report
shall include, without limitation, the following: (i) financial statements of
the Liquidating Trust for such period prepared on a modified cash basis or other
comprehensive basis of accounting, and, if the end of a calendar year, a report
of an independent certified public accountant employed by the
<PAGE>
Liquidating Trustee, which report shall reflect the result of such procedures
relating to the financial accounting administration of the Liquidating Trust as
approved by the Liquidating Trustee; and (ii) a description of any action taken
by the Liquidating Trustee in the performance of its duties that materially
affects the Liquidating Trust and of which notice has not previously been given
to the holders of Liquidating Trust Interests. The Liquidating Trustee shall
promptly submit additional reports to the holders of Liquidating Trust Interests
whenever a material event or change occurs that affects either the Liquidating
Trust or the rights of the holders of Liquidating Trust Interests hereunder. The
annual reports furnished pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall include a
description of the progress of converting Liquidating Trust Assets to Cash and
making distributions to holders of Liquidating Trust Interests and any other
material information relating to the Liquidating Trust Assets and the
administration of the Liquidating Trust.

            (c) Tax Reporting. By March 31 (if such day is not a Business Day,
the first Business Day thereafter) following the end of each calendar year, the
Liquidating Trustee shall submit to each holder of a Liquidating Trust Interest
appearing on its records during such year a separate statement setting forth the
holder's share of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit and will
instruct all such holders to report such items on their federal income tax
returns. The Liquidating Trust's taxable income, gain, loss, deduction, and
credit will be allocated pro rata to the holders of Liquidating Trust Interests
in accordance with such holders' respective beneficial interests in the Trust.
The Liquidating Trustee shall file (or cause to be filed) any other statements,
returns, or disclosures relating to the Liquidating Trust that are required by
any governmental authority.

            (d) Any report required to be distributed by the Liquidating Trustee
under Section 9.1(b) hereof shall also be distributed to the Persons listed in
Section 12.6 hereof within ten Business Days of its distribution to holders of
Liquidating Trust Interests under Section 9.1 (b) hereof. The Liquidating
Trustee may post any report required to be provided under this Section 9.l on a
website maintained by the Liquidating Trustee in lieu of actual notice to
holders of Liquidating Trust Interests (unless otherwise required by law)
subject to providing notice to the Persons listed in Section 12.6 herein.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                        TERMINATION OF LIQUIDATING TRUST

      10.1 Termination of Liquidation Trust. The Liquidating Trust will
terminate on the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after the final distribution of
all of the Liquidating Trust Assets in accordance with the terms of this Trust
Agreement and the Plan; or (b) the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Time
and Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, multiple fixed-term extensions can be
obtained so long as Chancery Court approval upon motion and a showing that such
extension is necessary to facilitate or complete the recovery and liquidation of
the Liquidation Trust Assets is obtained within six (6) months before the
expiration of the original term and each extended term. The aggregate of all
such extensions shall not exceed three (3) years, unless the Liquidating Trustee
receives a favorable ruling from the IRS that any further extension would not
adversely affect the status of the Liquidating Trust as a liquidating trust
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section Section 301.7701-4(d) for
federal income tax
<PAGE>
purposes. The Liquidating Trustee shall not unduly prolong the duration of the
Liquidating Trust and shall at all times endeavor to resolve, settle or
otherwise dispose of all claims that constitute Liquidating Trust Assets and to
effect the distribution of the Liquidating Trust Assets to the holders of the
Liquidating Trust Interests in accordance with the terms hereof and terminate
the Liquidating Trust as soon as practicable.

      11.1 Amendment and Waiver. Any substantive provision of this Trust
Agreement may be amended or waived by the Liquidating Trustee with the approval
of the Chancery Court, or by the Liquidating Trustee, provided, however, that no
change may be made to this Trust Agreement that would (a) adversely affect the
Distributions to be made under this Trust Agreement to any Beneficiaries, or (b)
adversely affect the U.S. Federal income status of the Liquidating Trust as a
"liquidating trust" (in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof). Notwithstanding
this Section 11.1, any amendments to this Trust Agreement shall not be
inconsistent with the purpose and intention of the Liquidating Trust to
liquidate in an expeditious but orderly manner the Liquidating Trust Assets in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(d) and Section 1.2
hereof.

                                   ARTICLE 12

take all necessary actions to effectuate the transfer of such privileges and
available defenses.

      12.3 Prevailing Party. If the Liquidating Trustee or the Liquidating
Trust, as the case may be, is the prevailing party in a dispute regarding the

collect any and all costs, expenses and fees, including attorneys' fees, from
the nonprevailing party incurred in connection with such dispute or enforcement
action.

      12.4 Laws as to Construction. This Trust Agreement shall be governed by

Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                       AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO LEASE AGREEMENT

         THIS AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO LEASE AGREEMENT ("Amendment") is dated as of
September 8, 2003, by and between ST. PAUL PROPERTIES, INC., a Delaware

                               W I T N E S S E T H

         WHEREAS, Crow Plymouth Land Limited Partnership ("Crow"), as landlord,

the Original Lease as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the
Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment; and

         WHEREAS, on May 10, 1992, Helix changed its name to ATS Medical, Inc.;
and

         WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant further amended the Original Lease by
Amendment No. 5 to Lease Agreement (the "Fifth Amendment"), by Amendment No. 6

the Seventh Amendment and the Eighth Amendment is hereinafter, the "Lease"); and

         WHEREAS, the Original Lease demised premises, as described therein (the
"Original Premises"), which Original Premises were expanded pursuant to the
First Amendment, which expansion space was surrendered pursuant to the Third
Amendment and expanded again pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth
Amendment, the Seventh Amendment and the Eighth Amendment (the Original
Premises, as so expanded are hereinafter, the "Expanded

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

Premises") such that, as of the date hereof, the Expanded Premises consist of
33,068 rentable square feet; and

         WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant wish further to amend the Lease to reduce
the Premises and extend the term of the Lease,

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

         1. Defined Terms. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Lease.

         2. Reduction of Premises; Change in Proportionate Share. The Expanded
Premises shall be reduced by 6,362 rentable square feet (the Expanded Premises,
as so reduced shall be referred to herein as the "Premises") such that, as of
January 1, 2004, the Premises shall consist of 26,706 rentable square feet.
Effective as of January 1, 2004, Paragraph 4.E. of the Lease shall be amended to
decrease Tenant's "Proportionate Share" from 40.38% to 32.61% by dividing 26,706
by 81,885.

         3. Extension of Term. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a
period of sixty three (63) months commencing January 1, 2004 (the "Extension
Commencement Date") and ending on March 31, 2009 (such period the "Extension
Term").

         4. Base Rent. During the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay base rent for
the Premises in the amount of;

                  (a)    Two Hundred Forty Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Four and
          no/100ths Dollars ($240,354.00) per annum, (Twenty Thousand Twenty
          Nine and 50/100ths Dollars ($20,029.50) per month) for the period
          beginning on the Extension Commencement Date through and including
          December 31, 2004. Provided Tenant is not in default under the Lease,
          and notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that Tenant shall
          not be obligated to pay base rent (but shall be obligated to pay
          Operating Costs) for the months of January, February and March, 2004
          (the amount of such base rent is herein the "Abated Rent"). Tenant's
          right to the Abated Rent may, at Landlord's option, be revoked without
          notice to Tenant if at any time Tenant defaults under this Lease,
          whether or not such default is cured. In such event, Tenant shall be
          required to repay the Abated Rent, within ten (10) days after
          Landlord's written demand therefor, it being understood and agreed
          that any failure to repay as provided in this subparagraph shall
          constitute an additional default under Paragraph 18(a) of this Lease;

                  (b)    Two Hundred Forty Nine Thousand Seven Hundred One and
          16/100ths Dollars ($249,701.16) per annum, (Twenty Thousand Eight
          Hundred Eight and 43/100ths Dollars ($20,808.43) per month) for the
          period beginning on January 1, 2005 and ending on December 31, 2006;
          and

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

                  (c) Two Hundred Sixty Three Hundred Eighty Three and 56/100ths
          Dollars ($260,383.56) per annum, (Twenty One Thousand Six Hundred
          Ninety Eight and 63/100ths Dollars ($21,698.63) per month) for the
          period beginning on January 1, 2007 and ending on March 31, 2009,

all without deduction or setoff therefrom, payable at the time and in the manner
set forth in the Lease for the payment of base rent.

         4. Termination of Lease. Tenant shall have a one-time option to
terminate this Lease effective on the 31st day of March, 2007 (the "Termination
Date") by giving written notice thereof (the "Termination Notice") to Landlord
not later than June 30, 2006; provided however, the following shall be
conditions precedent to the exercise of such option: (a) Tenant shall not be in
default under any of the terms and conditions of this Lease as of the date of
the Termination Notice or as of the Termination Date; and (ii) simultaneously
with its delivery of the Termination Notice, Tenant delivers to Landlord a
termination fee (the "Termination Fee") in the amount of $126,947.76 by wire
transfer or by cashier's check payable to Landlord's order. If Tenant satisfies
the foregoing conditions, base rent and Operating Costs shall be paid through
and apportioned as of the Termination Date and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall
have any rights, estates, liabilities or obligations accruing under the Lease
after the Termination Date, except such rights and obligations which, by the
terms of the Lease, expressly survive the expiration or termination of the
Lease. The right to terminate granted herein shall be personal to Tenant and
shall not accrue to any assignee, sublessee or successor to the interest of
Tenant under the Lease.

         5. Right of First Offer. Provided that Tenant is not then in default
under this Lease, Tenant shall have a one time right to lease premises in the
Building which are adjacent to the Premises as generally shown on Exhibit A
attached hereto and made a part hereof ("Offer Space") whenever such Offer Space
first becomes available for lease after December 31, 2004, in accordance with
the provisions of this Paragraph 5, it being understood and agreed that for the
purposes of this Paragraph 5, "available for lease" shall mean that (i) the
tenant of the Offer Space (A) as of the expiration date of the term of its
lease, has not indicated to Landlord a desire to renew its lease, whether or not
said tenant's lease contained any right of extension or renewal and (B) has no
unexercised rights of renewal or expansion as the Offer Space contained in its
lease and (ii) no other tenant of Plymouth Business Center has any rights of
first offer or expansion as to the Offer Space. In the event the Offer Space
first becomes available for lease after December 31, 2004, Landlord shall give
written notice thereof to Tenant (the "Notice From Landlord"), which Notice From
Landlord shall contain the terms upon which Landlord is prepared to lease the
Offer Space to Tenant.. Tenant shall have ten (10) days after receipt of the
Notice From Landlord within which to deliver to Landlord written notice of
Tenant's exercise of this offer (the "Notice of Exercise"), time being of the
essence; provided, that it shall be condition precedent to the effectiveness of
Tenant's delivery of a Notice of Exercise that that Tenant is not in default in
the performance of its obligations under this Lease as of the date of Tenant's
delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Except for the terms and conditions
specifically set forth in the Notice From Landlord, all terms and conditions of
Tenant's lease of the Offer Space (including the expiration date thereof) shall
be as provided in this Lease, except that (i) base rent for the Offer Space
shall be the then-current Market Rent (as defined in Paragraph 6 below); (ii)
unless otherwise specified in the Notice From Landlord, the Offer Space shall be
leased "AS IS";

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

and (iii) the term of the lease of the Offer Space shall be three (3) years,
unless otherwise specified in the Notice From Landlord, in Landlord's sole
discretion (the "Offer Space Term"). The Notice of Exercise shall contain the
same essential terms as the terms set forth in the Notice From Landlord and
shall be in a form sufficient to serve as a commitment by Tenant to enter into a
lease amendment with Landlord containing such terms with respect to the Offer
Space as are identified in the Notice From Landlord. Promptly upon Tenant's
delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the parties shall cooperate in the execution
of an agreement modifying the terms hereof to include the Offer Space as part of
the Premises in accordance with the terms contemplated in such Notice From
Landlord, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 5.
If Tenant fails to deliver the Notice of Exercise within said ten (10) day time
period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the right of first offer granted
by this Paragraph 5 and shall have no further right to lease the Offer Space. If
Tenant waives its right to lease the Offer Space either in writing or in
accordance with the preceding sentence, Landlord shall be free to lease the
Offer Space identified in such Notice From Landlord thereafter to any party upon
any terms. Subject to Paragraph 6 below, but notwithstanding anything else to
the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to rescind any Notice of
Exercise given as to any Offer Space. The rights of Tenant under this Paragraph
5 shall not be severed from this Lease or separately sold, assigned, or
otherwise transferred, and shall expire on the Expiration Date or earlier
termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of first
offer contemplated by this Paragraph 5 shall automatically terminate and become
null and void and of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of
(i) the expiration date or earlier termination of this Lease, (ii) the
termination of the Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, or (iii) the
failure of Tenant to timely or properly exercise the rights granted by this
Paragraph 5. The right contemplated by this Paragraph shall not survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease, and shall not be available to any
assignee, sublessee, or successor to Tenant's interests hereunder.

         6. Market Rent. "Market Rent" means the amount of base rent, which may
or may not include concessions, improvements and other matters (exclusive of
Operating Costs) which Landlord would receive by then renting similar space
(including similar square footage) for premises in the project in which the
Building is located. Landlord shall include in the Notice From Landlord its
determination of Market Rent for the Offer Space (the "Market Rent Notice"). If
Tenant does not agree with Landlord's determination of Market Rent as set forth
in the Market Rent Notice, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing within ten
(10) days after Tenant's receipt of the Market Rent Notice ("Tenant's Notice").
Landlord and Tenant shall, for ten (10) days after Landlord's receipt of
Tenant's Notice, negotiate in good faith to come to an agreement as to Market
Rent for the Offer Space. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon Market
Rent within said ten day period, then, notwithstanding the provisions of
Paragraph 5, Tenant shall have the right to rescind the Notice of Exercise by
written notice (the "Rescission Notice") to Landlord given not later than twenty
(20) days after the date of Tenant's Notice, it being understood and agreed that
if the Rescission Notice is not given within such time period, Tenant shall be
deemed to have waived its right to rescind the Notice of Exercise. In such case,
to the extent that the Notice of Exercise is effectively exercised, Landlord and
Tenant shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease which amendment
shall be executed and delivered within ten (10) days following the determination
of Market Rent. Tenant's failure to give Tenant's Notice within the time period
provided above shall be deemed an acceptance of

                                      -4-

Landlord's determination of Market Rent, and Tenant shall be deemed to have
agreed to lease the Offer Space pursuant to the Notice of Exercise.

         7. Improvements. After the execution of this Amendment, at such time as
Landlord and Tenant may mutually agree, Landlord shall cause to be performed by
the work in the Premises described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part
hereof (the "Work"). The Work shall be performed at Landlord's cost and expense,
subject to reimbursement by Tenant as a part of the Termination Fee if Tenant
terminates the Lease pursuant to Paragraph 4 above.

         The parties understand and agree that Tenant is in possession of the
Premises on the date of this Amendment, and the parties further understand and
agree that Tenant understands and agrees that the Work will be performed during
normal working hours in the Premises. Landlord agrees that it will cause its
contractors to use reasonable efforts not to interfere with Tenant's business
operations in the Premises; provided however, that Tenant agrees that Landlord
shall be not be liable to Tenant for any loss, cost, damage or injury to persons
or property or to the business of Tenant conducted in the Premises arising from
the performance of the Work by Landlord's contractors or any subcontractors.
Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and its contractors in terms of the
scheduling of the Work.

deleted and Exhibit C attached hereto substituted therefor.

         9. No Default. Tenant represents and warrants that after giving effect
to the amendment contained herein, no Event of Default shall have occurred or be
continuing under the Lease and no event shall have occurred which, with the
serving of notice or the passage of time, shall mature into such an Event of
Default.

         10. Reference to and Effect on the Lease.

                  (a) Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference
         in the Lease to "this Lease", "hereunder", "hereof" or words of like
         import referring to the Lease shall be a reference to the Lease as

                  (b) Except as specifically set forth above, the Lease remains
         in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.

                  (c) Whenever there exists a conflict between this Amendment
         and the Lease, the provisions of this Amendment shall control.
