computations made thereon, specifying the particular respects in which such
computations are claimed to be incorrect. Pending the resolution of such dispute

Landlord, Tenant shall pay such additional amount with the next installment of
fixed rent due under the Lease, as hereby amended.

that may have become due during the term of the Lease, as hereby amended.

            Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Lease to the
contrary and with respect only to the Additional Premises and the fixed rent due
with respect thereto, provided that no monetary default or no non-monetary
material default on the part of Tenant shall have occurred and be continuing
during the periods for which the following credits are to be applied (provided

            Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether
            Tenant will use each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area and the

            unreasonably withheld or delayed), federal, state or local
            governmental inspectors or persons under their direct supervision
            will be permitted to have access to each of the Generator Area, the
            Tank Area and the Switch Area. Tenant further agrees to exercise

            Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area and the frequency
            of their visits. Landlord shall, at no cost to Tenant, provide
            reasonably sufficient space in the shafts of the Building, the
            approximate location of which shall be reasonably acceptable to

            expense, to run electrical wiring from the Generator(s) to the
            Additional Premises and to the Existing Premises and from the

            expense in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this
            lease, including, without limitation, Article 45 hereof, and
            notwithstanding anything herein or in this lease to the contrary,
            Tenant's right to install the Generator(s) shall be subject to the
            prior approval by Landlord of plans and specifications for the
            Generator(s) and the manner in which same is attached to the
            Generator Area, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
            conditioned or delayed. All of the applicable provisions of this
            lease shall apply to the installation, use, operation and
            maintenance of the Generator(s), including,

<PAGE>

            without limitation, provisions relating to compliance with laws,
            insurance, indemnity, hazardous material, repairs and maintenance.

            assignable by Tenant separate and apart from this lease and may not
            be sublicensed by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything in Article 39 of
            this lease to the contrary, if Tenant installs the Generator(s),
            Tenant may disconnect from, at its sole cost and expense, and
            terminate its use of, the Building generator without further
            obligation to Landlord with respect thereto.

                  (I) Tenant shall install, maintain, operate, repair and use
            the Generator(s), all at its sole cost and expense, and in such a

            the Generator(s) to another area of the .second (2nd) floor roof
            set-back area designated by Landlord and relocate the Fuel Tank and
            Tenant's transfer switch to another area of the basement designated
            by Landlord, provided that such relocation does not cause the
            back-up electrical service to be interrupted or impaired and such
            relocation shall be performed at Landlord's sole cost and expense.

                  (K) (1) Landlord shall not have any obligations with respect
            to the Generator(s) or compliance with any laws or requirements of
            public authorities relating thereto (including, without limitation,
            the obtaining of any required permits or licenses, or the
            maintenance thereof), nor shall Landlord be responsible for any
            damage that may be caused to Tenant or the Generator(s) by any other
            tenant or occupant of the Building. Landlord makes no
            representa-tion with respect to the Generator(s) or its capacity or
            ability to provide back-up electrical service and Tenant agrees that
            Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor.

                       (2) Any electrical service required for Tenant's use of
            the Generator(s) shall be paid for by Tenant pursuant to the

            Generator(s), (ii) promptly pay any tax, license, permit or other

            fees or charges imposed pursuant to any laws and/or requirements of
            public authorities relating to the installation, maintenance or use
            of the Generator(s), (iii) promptly comply with all reasonable
            precautions and safeguards recommended by Landlord's insurance
            company and all federal, state or municipal governmental authorities
            or agencies, and (iv), at its sole cost and expense, (x) perform all
            necessary repairs or replacements to, or maintenance of, the
            Generator(s), (y) promptly repair any and all damage to each of the
            Generator Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area and to any other
            part of the Building caused by or resulting from the installation,

            portion thereof, and (z) at Tenant's Option, except as otherwise
            provided in Section (M) below, terminate its use of the Generator(s)
            and disconnect and remove same.

                  (L) Tenant shall have the right, for the period from the
            Commencement Date through six (6) months after the date Landlord
            delivers the Generator Area to Tenant, upon prior written notice to
            Landlord, to connect to the Building generator to allow Tenant to
            receive up to 350 K.W. of emergency electricity service (in addition
            to that provided to Tenant under Paragraph 39G of the Lease) from
            the Building generator at no cost to Tenant, except that Tenant
            shall be responsible for the cost of connecting to, and
            disconnecting from (at the end of such period), the Building
            generator. In the event Tenant does connect to the Building
            generator as aforesaid, Landlord agrees to, on a monthly basis,
            exercise the Building generator, check and maintain all fluid and
            battery levels and maintain a maintenance log of all maintenance
            performed to the Building generator. Landlord further agrees to
            maintain a contract with a generator service company to visually
            inspect and perform preventive maintenance two (2) times per year.
            Landlord shall, upon two (2) weeks prior written notice by Tenant
            and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, assist Tenant in scheduling
            an emergency power test (a/k/a pull the plug test). Such test shall
            be limited to the period for which Tenant is connected to the
            Building generator and Landlord shall not be obligated to conduct
            such test more than two (2) times a year.

                  (M) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the privileges granted
            Tenant under Sections (H) - (M) shall merely constitute a license
            and shall not, now or at any time after the installation of the
            Generator(s), be deemed to grant Tenant a leasehold or other real
            property interest in the Building or any portion thereof. The
            license granted to Tenant in Sections (H) - (M) shall automatically
            terminate and expire upon the expiration or earlier termination of
            this lease and the termination of such license shall be
            self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect
            such

<PAGE>

            termination and Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, unless,
            upon written request given by Tenant at least six (6) months prior
            to the Expiration Date requesting that the Generator(s) remain on
            the Generator Area, the Fuel Tank remain on the Tank Area and
            Tenant's transfer switch remain on the Switch Area, and such request
            is thereafter consented to by Landlord, remove the Generator(s) from
            the Generator Area, the Fuel Tank from the Tank Area and Tenant's
            transfer switch from the Switch Area within three (3) months after
            the expiration or earlier termination of this lease and repair any
            damage to each of the Generator Area, the Tank Area, the Switch Area
            and the Building resulting from such removal so as to place same, as
            closely as possible, in the same condition as existed prior to the
            installation of the Generator(s), the Fuel Tank and Tenant's
            transfer $witch, normal wear and tear excepted. This obligation
            shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this lease.
            The foregoing notwithstanding, upon request by Landlord, Tenant, at
            Tenant's sole cost and expense, promptly shall execute and deliver
            to Landlord, in recordable form, any certificate or other document
            confirming the termination of Tenant's right to use the Generator
            Area, the Tank Area and the Switch Area.

            SEVENTH: Article 52 of the Lease shall apply to both the Existing
Premises and the Additional Premises together. In connection therewith, Landlord
and Tenant confirm that any calculation concerning rental terms of all or any
portion of the Existing Premises shall be performed using the rental terms of
the Existing Premises set forth in this Amendment, and any calculation
concerning rental terms of all or any portion of the Additional Premises shall
be performed using the rental terms of the Additional Premises set forth in this
Agreement.

            Further, the following is added to Article 52 of the Lease as
            Section 52(K):

            "(K) Tenant may sublease (a) the 14th Premises or any part thereof
            for terms not to exceed the day immediately preceding the third
            (3`d) anniversary of the Commencement Date provided that there shall
            not be more than four (4) entities (including Tenant) occupying the
            14th Premises, and (b) the 15th Premises or any part thereof for
            terms not to exceed the day being immediately preceeding the third
            (3`d) anniversary of the 15th Premises Commencement Date provided
            there shall not be more than four (4) entities (including Tenant)
            occupying the 15th Premises, pursuant, and subject, to all the other
            terms and conditions of this Article 52 (upon notice to Landlord,

            EIGHTH: Section 56J(1) of the Lease shall apply to both the Existing
Premises and the Additional Premises together. In connection therewith, Section

            "REGULAR HOURS" (7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.) of "BUSINESS DAYS" (which
            term is used herein to mean all days except Saturdays, Sundays and
            days (hereinafter referred to "HOLIDAYS") observed by the Federal or
            New York State government as legal holidays or the building service
            employees' union holidays) throughout the year and at the rate of
            $50.00 per hour during "OVERTIME HOURS" (6:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.) for

            provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to
            the contrary, there shall be no charge to Tenant for condenser water
            for up to an additional 400 tons of capacity for the 15t' - Premises
            during regular hours of business days.

            NINTH: (a) (a) Landlord hereby grants Tenant, at no cost to Tenant,
a license during the term of the Lease, as extended by this Agreement, on the
terms and conditions contained herein and in the Lease to install and maintain,
at Tenant's sole cost and expense, the name of Tenant in the lobby of the
Building on the wall in a location mutually satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant
(such name of Tenant is hereinafter referred to as the "LOBBY NAME

<PAGE>

SIGN") provided that Tenant's name shall be displayed in a similar size to that
of the name of the Daily News presently located in the lobby of the Building and
shall be made of similar materials and finishes as that of the Daily News' name
presently existing in the lobby of the Building. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, maintain the Lobby Name Sign in good order and condition,
reasonable wear and tear excepted. Within thirty (30) days after the Expiration
Date or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove the Lobby Name Sign
and repair any damage to the lobby wall of the Building resulting from such

                  (b) Landlord hereby grants Tenant, at no cost to Tenant, a

and west, the height of such Roof Signs (including the structures supporting
same) shall not exceed a height of 32.5 feet as measured from the surface of the
upper 16th floor roof, provided that the Roof Signs shall in all events comply

contain the name and/or logo and shall be in the corporate colors of Tenant, or
any corporation or entity which is controlled by Tenant ("CONTROL" being defined
as ownership of more than fifty(50%) percent of all of the voting stock of a
corporation or more than fifty (50%) percent of all the legal and equitable
interest in any other entity); (ii) the name of Tenant on the side of the
entryway of the Building, the location of which shall be reasonably acceptable
to Landlord and Tenant, and (iii) the name of Tenant on Tenant's items of

hereinafter collectively referred to as the "OUTDOOR NAME SIGNS"), provided
that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this subparagraph (b), the
location, size, content, color, materials and finish of the Outdoor Name Signs
shall be previously approved by Landlord which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant's right to install and
maintain the Roof Signs is expressly conditioned on, and subject to, Tenant, or
any corporation or entity which is controlled by Tenant, occupying at least
150,000 rentable square feet of office space in the Building for the purpose of
conducting its or their own business. In the event that, at any time, Tenant, or

corporation or entity which is controlled by Tenant. Tenant shall, prior to
installing such Outdoor Name Signs, at its sole cost and expense, procure and
thereafter maintain on a current basis, any governmental permits and licenses
from all authorities having jurisdiction, which may be required pursuant to any
present or future law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, other governmental
order or controlling judicial determination of any federal, state, local,
municipal or other governmental body, agency or authority having jurisdiction

referred to

<PAGE>

as "LAWS"), and shall at all times comply with all requirements of Laws, which
shall impose any obligation, order or duty upon Landlord or Tenant with respect
to or affecting the Outdoor Name Signs. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, in obtaining such governmental permits and
licenses in connection with the Outdoor Name Signs. Landlord shall have no
obligation with respect to the Outdoor Name Signs. Within three (3) months after
the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall, at its
sole cost and expense, remove the Outdoor Name Signs and repair any damage to
the Building resulting from such removal. The rights granted to Tenant hereunder
shall not be sublet or sublicensed by Tenant and may not be assigned except in
connection with a permitted assignment of the Lease.

            TENTH: Article 53 of the Lease and Section 56(1) of the Lease are
hereby deleted in their entirety.

            ELEVENTH: Landlord acknowledges that Tenant, as part of its work to
prepare the 14th Premises for its use, will be tapping into the condenser water
outlet on the 14th Premises which is also utilized by the existing tenant of the
Unit B Premises and the Unit C Premises. Landlord represents that adequate
capacity for condenser water exists for the use of both Tenant and such existing
tenant so as to supply condensor water to Tenant in accordance with the
provisions of the Lease, as hereby amended. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove
or in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event Tenant is unable to tap into
the condenser water outlet on the 14th Premises while the existing tenant is
utilizing same, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, install, operate,
maintain and repair an air-cooled system for the period from the date Tenant is
unable to tap into the condenser water outlet through six (6) months after the
Unit C Premises Commencement Date. Such air-cooled system shall be vented to the
outside in a location, and such vent or louver shall be constructed utilizing a
material, reasonably acceptable

<PAGE>

to Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible, at it sole cost and expense, for
disconnecting and removing such air-cooled system and any vent or louver and
repairing and damages to the Building resulting therefrom.

            TWELFTH: (a) (a) Commencing on April 1, 2000 and continuing
thereafter during the term of the Lease, as hereby amended, Landlord, subject to
any present or future law or rule of any governmental agency having jurisdiction
and all applicable Building codes and rules and except during periods where
emergency or repair situations exist, will designate one passenger elevator cab
in the high rise elevator bank to service only the 12th, 14th, 15th (upon the
15th Premises Commencement Date and provided Tenant does not exercise Tenant's
Termination Option) and 16th floors and the lobby of the Building for the
exclusive use of Tenant and its visitors and invitees. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such passenger elevator cab shall not service nor stop on the 15th
Premises until the 15th Premises Commencement Date, provided Tenant does not
exercise Tenant's Termination Option. All work necessary to reprogram or
otherwise prepare such elevator cab for such exclusive use including, without
limitation, increasing such use to service the 15th Premises (provided Tenant
does not exercise Tenant's Termination Option), shall be performed by Landlord,
and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket
costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith within thirty (30) days of
receipt of a bill thereafter accompanied by reasonable back-up information with
respect to such costs. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the
contrary, Landlord shall obtain bids for all work necessary to reprogram or
otherwise prepare the aforesaid elevator cab for such exclusive use from not
less than three (3) elevator maintenance and repair companies of recognized
standing in the Borough of Manhattan, one of which may be selected by Tenant.
Landlord will allow Tenant to participate in the bidding process and Landlord
shall

<PAGE>

select the lowest qualified bidder to perform the aforesaid work unless Landlord
and Tenant otherwise mutually determine to select another bidder. During the
term of the Lease, Landlord shall maintain such elevator cab in the same manner
as it is obligated to maintain all other passenger elevators in the Building in
accordance with the provisions of the Lease, as hereby amended. Nothing herein
shall eliminate or reduce Landlord's obligation to maintain such elevator in
such good working order throughout the term of the Lease, as hereby extended by
this Agreement.

                  (b) As of April 1, 2000, Landlord hereby grants Tenant, at no
cost to Tenant, a license for the period from April 1, 2000 and continuing
thereafter throughout the term of the Lease, as extended by this Agreement, on
the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Lease to install and
maintain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a sign setting forth that such
dedicated passenger elevator is for Tenant's exclusive use. Such sign shall be
installed on the wall in the lobby of the Building adjacent to the dedicated
passenger elevator provided that the exact location of such sign and the size,
materials and finishes used for such sign shall be reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain the sign in
good order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Within thirty (30)
days after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall
remove the sign and repair any damage to the lobby wall of the Building
resulting from such removal.

                  (c) Commencing on the Unit C Commencement Date and continuing
thereafter during the term of the Lease, as hereby amended, Tenant shall be
entitled to utilize, on an exclusive basis and without additional cost except as
expressly set forth in this Article Twelfth, the presently decommissioned and
out-of-service elevator cab and elevator shaft in the north east quadrant of the
Building (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "F-4

<PAGE>

ELEVATOR") which presently exists between the 12`h floor and the 15" floor of
the Building upon the following terms and conditions:

            (1) Tenant understands that the F-4 Elevator is available for
Tenant's use in its present "as is" condition and acknowledges that same is
decommissioned and out-of-service and may not presently be used.

            (2) In the event Tenant elects to utilize the F-4 Elevator, Tenant
shall, at its sole cost and expense, recommission the F-4 Elevator by making all
necessary repairs and improvements thereto, at its sole cost and expense, which
repairs and improvements shall be made in accordance with all of the applicable
provisions of the Lease, as hereby amended, and in accordance with all laws,
rules and regulations of any governmental agency, Building Department, and/or
any other entity having jurisdiction with respect thereto. Landlord shall
cooperate, at Tenant's expense, by promptly executing any documents in
connection therewith required to be executed by Landlord. Prior to commencing
any such work or repairs, Tenant shall obtain and thereafter maintain during any
period during which it uses or does any work or any renovation with respect to
the F-4 Elevator, all permits, licenses or any other required approvals with
respect thereto.

            (3) In connection with the renovation, recommissioning and use of
the F-4 Elevator, provided Tenant does not exercise Tenant's Termination Option,
Tenant shall, upon the 15th Premises Commencement Date, be entitled to extend
same so as to run between the 12th floor and the 16th floor of the Building,
including, without limitation, cutting any slab between the 15th Premises and
the 16th floor of the Building. Any such extension shall be performed at the
sole cost and expense of Tenant, and shall thereafter be maintained and repaired
at Tenant's sole cost and expense and, in accordance with all applicable laws,
rules and

<PAGE>

regulations of any governmental agency, Building Department, and any other
entity having jurisdiction with respect thereto. Tenant shall not be required to
restore any slab opening between the 15th Premises and the 16th floor of the
Building on the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Lease. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord has made no representations that the F-4 Elevator may
be used for any purpose or that same may be recommissioned and Tenant is not
relying on any representation and that the inability of Tenant to use the F-4
Elevator or extend same to the 16th floor shall in no way affect the Lease, as
hereby amended, or Tenant's obligations thereunder. Tenant further acknowledges
that Landlord shall have no obligations of any kind with respect to the F-4
Elevator and all expenses with respect thereto and all repairs and maintenance
thereof shall be at the sole cost and expense of Tenant who shall have sole
responsibility therefor.

            THIRTEENTH: In the event the existing tenant of the Unit B Premises
and the Unit C Premises or its employees and agents (including its own security
guards) impedes Tenant's access by means of ingress and/or egress to each of the
Unit A Premises and the Unit B Premises as of the Unit B Premises Commencement
Date, Landlord shall, upon Tenant's request, take all action available to
Landlord at law or in equity against such existing tenant to prevent such
impediment from continuing but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to
terminate the lease(s) for such existing tenant.

            FOURTEENTH: Tenant warrants and represents that it has dealt with no
brokers other than Insignia/ESG, Inc. ("INSIGNIA") and Newmark & Company Real
Estate, Inc. ("NEWMARK") in connection with this Agreement. Tenant agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses, against any claims for brokerage commission in connection
with this Agreement arising out of any conversations or

<PAGE>

negotiations had by Tenant with any broker other than Insignia and Newmark.
Landlord will pay the leasing commission due to Insignia and Newmark pursuant to
a separate agreement or agreements and will indemnify Tenant for all claims of
brokers which have dealt with Landlord in connection with this Agreement and not
dealt with Tenant.

            FIFTEENTH: All notices to Landlord shall be addressed to Landlord
c/o Max Capital Management Corp., 230 Park Avenue, 17`" Floor, New York, New
York 10169 with a copy to FischbeinoBadillooWagneroHarding, 909 Third Avenue,
New York, New York 10022, Attention: Barry E. Shimkin, Esq.

            SIXTEENTH: In the event Landlord objects to a specific aspect of any
plans and specifications submitted by Tenant to Landlord in connection with any
Alterations and/or Tenant's Changes (as defined in the Lease), such objection
shall be limited to such portion of the plans and specifications specifically
objected to by Landlord and those portions of the plans and specifications not
specifically objected to by Landlord shall be deemed approved.

            SEVENTEENTH: This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts and shall be deemed to have become effective when and only when one
or more of such counterparts shall have been signed by or on behalf of each of
the parties hereto, although it shall not be necessary that any single
counterpart be signed by or on behalf of both of the parties hereto, and all
such counterparts shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.
A faxed signature by or on behalf of any party on any counterpart shall be
deemed to be the equivalent of the signature of such party, it being understood
that the counterpart containing such existing signature shall be promptly
thereafter forwarded to the other party hereto.

<PAGE>

            EIGHTEENTH: This Agreement may not be changed, modified or canceled
orally. As amended hereby, the Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed in all
respects and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.
