                                   WITNESSETH:

                                    ARTICLE 1

                          Demise, Premises, Term, Rents

         1.01 Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires from
Landlord, the premises hereinafter described, in the buildings located at 500
Seventh Avenue (the "500 Building") and 512 Seventh Avenue (the "512 Building"),
each in the Borough of Manhattan, City, County and State of New York
(hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Building"), on the parcels of land
more particularly described in Exhibit A respectively (hereinafter respectively,
referred to as the "500 Land and the 512 Land"), for the term hereinafter
stated, for the rents hereinafter reserved and upon and subject to the
conditions (including limitations, restrictions and reservations) and covenants
hereinafter provided. Each party hereby expressly covenants and agrees to
observe and perform all of the conditions and covenants herein contained on its
part to be observed and performed.

         1.02 The premises hereby leased to Tenant are the entire rentable area
of the fourteenth (14th) floor (as shown on the floor plan annexed hereto as
Exhibit B-1) and a portion of the twelfth (12th) floor (as shown hatched on the
floor plan annexed hereto as Exhibit B-2) in the 500 Building and the entire
rentable areas of the eleventh (11th),twelfth (12th) and thirteenth (13th)
floors of the 512 Building (as shown on the floor plans annexed hereto as
Exhibit B-3). Said premises together with all fixtures and equipment which at
the commencement, or during the term, of this lease are thereto attached (except
items not deemed to be included therein and removable by Tenant as provided in
Article 14) constitute and are hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Demised Premises."

                                        1

<PAGE>

         1.03 The term of this lease for which the Demised Premises are hereby
leased, shall commence on the date hereof (the "Commencement Date"), and shall
expire on April 30, 2015 (hereinafter referred to as the "Expiration Date"), or
shall expire on such earlier date upon which said term may expire or be
cancelled or terminated pursuant to any of the conditions or covenants of this
lease or pursuant to law. If either party requests the other party to enter into
an agreement fixing the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, the parties
shall execute and deliver a recordable supplementary agreement fixing the
Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, in form reasonably satisfactory to
both parties, but either party's failure to make such request or either party's
failure to execute or deliver such agreement shall in no way affect such dates.
If the parties cannot agree on such dates, such dates shall be determined by
arbitration in the manner provided in Article 34. Pending such determination,
the dates designated by Landlord shall control with a retroactive adjustment, if
required, if Landlord's designation is determined to be incorrect.

         1.04 The "rents" reserved under this lease, for the term thereof, shall
be and consist of:

              (a) "fixed rent" of FOUR MILLION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY-SEVEN THOUSAND
FIVE HUNDRED THIRTY-TWO DOLLARS ($4,657,532.00) per year for the period
commencing on the Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and continuing
thereafter through the remainder of the initial term of this lease, all of which
Tenant covenants and agrees to pay in equal monthly installments in advance of
the first day of each and every calendar month during the term of this lease,
except that the first monthly installment of fixed rent due hereunder shall be
paid by Tenant on the date hereof; and

              (b) "additional rent" consisting of all such other sums of money
as shall become due from and payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (for
default in payment of which Landlord shall have the same remedies as for a
default in payment of fixed rent), all to be paid to Landlord at its office, or
such other place, or to such agent and at such place, as Landlord may designate
by notice to Tenant, in lawful money of the United States of America.

         1.05 Tenant shall pay the fixed rent and additional rent herein
reserved promptly as and when the same shall become due and payable, without
demand therefor and without any abatement, deduction or setoff whatsoever except
as expressly provided in this lease.

         1.06 If the Rent Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first
day of a calendar month or the Expiration Date occurs on a day other than the
last day of a calendar month, the fixed rent for such calendar month shall be
prorated.

         1.07 Tenant acknowledges that it has no rights to any development
rights, "air rights" or comparable rights appurtenant to the Land and Building,
and consents, without further consideration, to any utilization of such rights
by Landlord and agrees to promptly execute and deliver any instruments which may
be requested by Landlord, including instruments merging zoning lots, evidencing
such acknowledgment and consent. The provisions of this Section 1.07 shall be
deemed

                                       2

<PAGE>

to be and shall be construed as an express waiver by Tenant of any interest
Tenant may have as a "party in interest" (as such quoted term is defined in
Section 12-10 Zoning Lot of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York) in
the Land and Building.

         1.08 It is understood that the consideration for the covenants in this
Article is the making of this lease, and the damages for failure to perform same
shall be in addition to and separate and independent of the damages accruing by
reason of default in observing any other term of this lease.

         1.09 For purposes of this lease, the term "Rent Commencement Date"
shall mean May 1, 2000 it being agreed and understood that Tenant shall have no
obligation to pay any fixed rent during the period from the Commencement Date
through the date next preceding the Rent Commencement Date.

         1.10 If, at any time prior to the Rent Commencement Date, any condition
shall exist whereby Tenant would be entitled to an abatement of Fixed Rent
pursuant to any provision of this lease but for the fact that the Rent
Commencement Date shall not yet have occurred, then the Rent Commencement Date
shall be postponed (beyond the date on which the Rent Commencement Date would
have occurred in the absence of this Section 1.10), with respect only to the
affected portions of the Demised Premises, by one day for each day from the date
such abatement of Fixed Rent would have commenced through the date upon which
such abatement would have terminated.

                                    ARTICLE 2

Premises, Tenant agrees that it shall obtain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
any governmental permits, special life safety systems and health department

authorizations (except for an application to change the Certificate of Occupancy
other than as expressly hereinafter set forth in Article 4) whenever such
joining by Landlord shall be required by any governmental agency having
jurisdiction.

the Building in any way which would adversely affect Tenant's right to use the
Demised Premises for general, administrative, executive and sales offices or for
a cafeteria, as and to the extent presently provided in the existing Certificate
of Occupancy.

                                    ARTICLE 3

                           Failure To Give Possession

         3.01 (a) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised by
Landlord that certain portions of the Demised Premises initially demised to
Tenant hereunder which are cross hatched on Exhibit B annexed hereto (such space
is hereinafter called "Occupied Space") are currently under Lease and/or
occupied by tenants. Tenant agrees that the term of this Lease shall commence on
the date hereof notwithstanding Landlord's inability to deliver to Tenant on the
Commencement Date vacant possession of the Occupied Premises. Except as
otherwise expressly set forth in this lease, Tenant shall have no claim against
Landlord, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant by reason of the
delivery of possession of the Occupied Space to Tenant after the Commencement
Date. The parties hereto further agree that the failure to have the Occupied
Space available for occupancy by Tenant on the Commencement Date shall in no way
affect the obligations of Tenant hereunder except as hereinafter expressly set
forth, nor shall the same be construed in any way to extend the term of this
lease. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the
Occupied Space, including, without limitation, where applicable, the institution
and diligent prosecution of holdover proceedings, in the event of a holdover.
This Section 3.01 shall be deemed to be an express provision to the contrary of
Section 223-a of the Real Property Law of the State of New York and any other
law of like import now or hereafter in force.

              (b) Landlord and Tenant agree that there shall be no fixed rent or
additional rent payable with respect to any portion of the Occupied Space until
the date such Occupied Space shall be delivered to Tenant vacant with the items
of Landlord's Work specified in Sections 4.02(a)(i) and (ii) completed. Landlord
agrees that in the event that any portion of the Occupied Space is not delivered
to Tenant in such condition (the "Abated Condition") on or before September 1,
2000,

                                       5

<PAGE>

the fixed rent and additional rent payable by Tenant with respect to such
portion of the Occupied Space shall be abated for two days for each day
occurring between September 1, 2000 and the date vacant possession of such
portion of the Occupied Space shall be delivered to Tenant in the Abated
Condition.

              (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01,
Tenant acknowledges that Gloria Gay Coats, an existing tenant in the Building,
occupies approximately 4,449 square feet of space on the twelfth (12th) floor of
the 500 Building (the "Coats Space"). Tenant agrees that the provisions of the
second (2nd) sentence of subsection 3.01 (b) hereof shall not apply to the Coats
Space. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver possession of
the Coats Space to Tenant on or before the March 1, 2001 (the "Coats Space
Delivery Date") to Tenant. If Landlord shall not have delivered vacant
possession of the Coats Space to Tenant on or before the Coats Space Delivery
Date, then Tenant shall, as its sole remedy therefor, have the right exercisable
by April 1, 2001 (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE) to surrender the Coats Space by
written notice (the "Coats Notice") to Landlord. If Tenant fails to send the
Coats Notice to Landlord on or before April 1, 2001 Tenant shall no longer have
a right to surrender the Coats Space. If Tenant shall send the Coats Notice
prior to April 1, 2001 then Landlord shall within thirty (30) days after receipt
of the Coats Notice designate space comprised of 4,500 rentable square feet
elsewhere in the Building which Tenant may, at Tenant's election, lease
hereunder in substitution for the Coats Space, upon all the terms and conditions
of this Lease, as if it were initially included within the Demised Premises in
lieu of the Coats Space. If Tenant does not elect to include such substituted
space within the Demised Premises, the rents reserved hereunder, Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Taxes, the Wage Rate Multiple and the security deposited
under Article 6 shall be proportionately reduced based upon 4,449 less rentable
square feet included in the Demised Premises.

                                    ARTICLE 4

                       Preparation of the Demised Premises

         4.01 (a) Tenant acknowledges that it has made a full and complete
inspection of the Demised Premises, and Tenant agrees to accept same on the
Commencement Date in their present "as-is" condition, except for the performance
by Landlord of the work specified in Section 4.02, hereof ("Landlord's Work").
Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord, nor Landlord's agent, has made any
representations or promises in regard to the Demised Premises, except as
otherwise provided in this lease.

         4.02 (a) Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall:

                  i. demolish portions of the Demised Premises other than core
areas therein but including bathrooms. Such demolition shall be in accordance
with Tenant's demolition plan (which shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable
approval). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord

Landlord be obligated to penetrate and remove asbestos from more than five (5)
columns within the Demised Premises;

                  ii. remove asbestos in the Demised Premises in accordance with

the later to occur of May 1, 2000 or such date as Tenant shall submit to
Landlord the Initial Plan (as that term is hereinafter defined).

              (c) If Landlord shall not have substantially completed any item of
Landlord's Work in the Non-Occupied Space on the express date set forth in this
Section 4.02 for the completion of such items, then the fixed rent and
additional rent payable for any portion of the Unoccupied Space in which an item
of Landlord's Work is not substantially completed on the date specified therefor
shall be abated until the date such item of work is substantially completed.
Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in this Lease, the
completion date specified for any item of Landlord's Work shall be extended by
one day for each day that Landlord is prevented from performing or completing
such work by reason of a Tenant Delay. A "Tenant Delay" shall mean: (a) delays
in submitting the Initial Plan with respect to Tenant's Work, or in approving
any drawings or specifications, giving authorizations or supplying information;
or (b) additional time needed by Landlord, as a result of Tenant requesting
Landlord to make a change or addition to Landlord's Work or change in the
Initial Plan.

         4.03 (a) Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant, in accordance with, and
subject to. the provisions of this Section 4.03, an amount equal to Four Million
Seven Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Eighty-Five Dollars
($4,763,385.00) (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the "Construction
Paymenth), provided that at the time Landlord is otherwise obligated to make
such payment of the Construction Payment or any portion thereof, there shall not
have occurred any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) which then shall be
continuing; and provided further that, as long as no notice of termination shall
have been given by Landlord by reason thereof (and remain unrescinded), upon the

used for architectural, engineering, space planning, expediter and inspection
fees, fees for all municipal and other permits, licenses and approvals and fees,
equipment costs and expenses relating to relocation and Tenant's Work, and other
so-called "soft costs" (all of the foregoing being herein referred to as the
"Soft Costs"), and then only to the extent that same are directly related to the
Tenant's Work (as opposed to being related to furniture, furnishings or other
non-"hard costh items). In the event that any portion of the Construction
Payment has not been expended upon the completed performance of Tenant's Work,
Tenant shall be allowed a credit in the amount of the unexpended balance of the
Construction Payment against the fixed rent otherwise next becoming due pursuant
to the provisions of Section 1.04(a) of this lease.

              (b) Subject to the provisions of this Section, Landlord hereby

conditions hereinafter set forth (the "Construction Payment Conditions") in this
subsection (b) Tenant shall submit to Landlord from time to time, but not more
often than once per month, requisitions (herein referred to as "Tenant's
Requesth) for such periodic payment with respect to the portion(s) of Tenant's
Work performed subsequent to the immediately preceding Tenant's Request (if

reflected in the corresponding invoices);

                  (ii) a certificate from Tenant's architect or general
contractor or construction manager that (1) such portion of the Tenant's Work

                  (iii) lien waivers from Tenant's general contractor and
construction manager, and each major (for purposes hereof, a contract amount in
excess of $100,000.00) subcontractor, materialman and supplier to the extent of

Request.

         Promptly following any Tenant's Request together with the aforesaid
accompanying documentation, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Demised
Premises for the purpose of verifying that such portion of Tenant's Work covered
by Tenant's Request has been performed substantially in accordance with the
Tenant's Plans and revisions thereto theretofore approved by Landlord. If the
Construction Payment Conditions have been satisfied, then within thirty (30)
days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Request, together with the
accompanying documentation, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount shown on the
"Current Payment Due" on the Tenant's Request. The balance of the Construction
Payment, if any, after the completion of Tenant's Work, shall be paid to Tenant
in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in paragraph (c) below.

              (c) Subject to the provisions of this Section, Landlord hereby
agrees to pay the balance of the Construction Payment, in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereinafter in this subsection (c) (the "Final Construction
Payment Conditions"). After the completion of the Tenant's Work, Tenant shall
submit to Landlord a requisition (herein referred to as the "Final Requesth) for
the balance of the Construction Payment, together with the following:

                  (i) a certificate from Tenant's architect or general
contractor or construction manager that (1) all Tenant's Work has been completed
in substantial accordance with the Tenant's Plans and revisions thereto
theretofore approved by Landlord; (2) there are no uncured violations of record,

                  (ii) a general release and lien waivers from Tenant's general

Tenant has received in connection with Tenant's Work;

                  (iii) copies of all New York City Building Department and New
York City Fire Department sign-offs, inspection certificates and/or

                                       9

<PAGE>

                  (iv) two (2) copies of CAD "as builth plans of the Demised
Premises, or if Tenant has not had such CAD "as builts" prepared, the Intitial
Plan as finally approved by Landlord and filed with the New York City Department
of Buildings, legibly marked with all field changes made during the performance
of Tenant's Work (other than de minimis changes) and certified by Tenant's
architect as containing all such field changes.

              (d) Promptly following the Final Request together with the
aforesaid accompanying documentation, Landlord shall have the right to enter the
Demised Premises for the purpose of verifying that all of the Tenant's Work has
been completed and performed substantially in accordance with the Tenant's Plans
and revisions thereto theretofore approved by Landlord. If the Final
Construction Payment Conditions have been satisfied, then within thirty (30)
days after Landlord's receipt of the Final Request together with the
accompanying documentation, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the balance of the
Construction Payment (such balance being hereinafter referred to as the "Final
Payment").

              (e) If Landlord shall fail to pay any installment of the
Construction Payment within ten (10) days after the date due, then Tenant may
give Landlord notice thereof and if Landlord shall continue to fail to make any
such payment within five (5) days after the giving of such notice, then provided
Landlord shall not dispute that Tenant is entitled to the payment of any such
installment or any portion thereof the security deposit shall be reduced by the
amount that Landlord has failed to pay Tenant. In the event that Landlord shall
dispute that Tenant shall be entitled to the payment of any such installment, or
any portion thereof, as the case may be, the Tenant shall not be entitled to any
reduction of the security deposit in dispute until such time as such dispute
shall have been resolved in Tenant's favor pursuant to Article 34 hereof. If
Tenant shall obtain a determination pursuant to Article 34 hereof that a
disputed installment or portion thereof of the construction payment should have
been paid to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 and if Landlord
shall not pay to Tenant the amount determined by the arbitrators to be owing by
Landlord to Tenant within twenty (20) days after the issuance of the
determination of the arbitrators, in addition to all other rights and remedies
available to Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in the amount of
the security deposit in the amount determined by the arbitrators to be owing to
Tenant. In the event that Landlord shall not draw down on the security deposit
and pay the disputed amount to Tenant within such twenty (20) day period, then
Tenant may, in addition to all other rights and remedies Tenant may have against
Landlord, offset against any of the next monthly installments of fixed rent and
additional rent coming due, such amount to the extent same is not paid by
Landlord prior to the due date for such monthly installments, until such time as
the aggregate amount of the offset fixed rent and additional rent equals the
aggregate amount of the Construction Payment which was determined by the
arbitrators not to have been properly paid by Landlord.

         4.03 (a) Tenant shall perform, at Tenant's own cost and expense,
subject to the provisions of Section 4.04 hereof, the work (herein called
"Tenant's Work") required to prepare the Demised Premises for Tenant's initial
occupancy thereof in accordance with the provisions of

                                      10

<PAGE>

this Section 4.03 and Articles 13 and 14 and any other applicable provisions of
this Lease. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall prepare a final plan or final set
of plans and specifications which shall contain complete information and
dimensions necessary for the initial construction and finishing of the Demised
Premises and for the engineering in connection therewith (hereinafter called
"the Initial Plan"). The Initial Plan shall be submitted by Tenant to Landlord
for Landlord's written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed to the extent that the work shown on such plans is
nonstructural, and do not adversely affect any Building Systems. Landlord shall
respond to Tenant's request for Landlord's approval of the Initial Plan within
seven (7) Business Days from the submission thereof to Landlord, and shall
respond to Tenant's request for Landlord's approval of any revisions in the
Initial Plans within three (3) Business Days of submission thereof. If Landlord
fails to respond to Tenant's submission of the Initial Plan within seven (7)
Business Days after the submission thereof, Tenant shall send to Landlord an
Additional Notice (as hereinafter defined in Article 13 hereof) which shall
state that unless Landlord responds to the request for approval within three (3)
Business Days after the receipt of the Additional Notice, Landlord's approval
shall be deemed granted and, in the event Landlord fails to respond to such
Additional Notice within three (3) Business Days of receipt thereof, Landlord
will be deemed to have granted its consent to the Initial Plan. Tenant shall
promptly reimburse Landlord upon demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's review of the
Initial Plan within twenty (20) days after the delivery to Tenant of a bill
therefor.

              (b) As part of Tenant's Work, Tenant shall (i) install at least
one air cooled package unit (the "Unit") on each floor of the Demised Premises
sufficient to cool the population density on such floor to standard office
requirements, and (ii) perform all work necessary to upgrade the restrooms in
the Demised Premises in compliance with the Building Standards, with Local Law
58 and with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (collectively "Base
Credit Work"). Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that at least Eight Hundred
Forty-Six Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-Four Dollars ($846,829) of the
Construction Payment shall be used to perform the Base Credit Work. Tenant
agrees that the Units shall be vented through the 37th or 38th Street sides of
the Building, but in no event closer than the sixth (6th) window on each side of
the Building west of Seventh Avenue.

              (c) Tenant agrees that as part of Tenant's Work, Tenant shall,
using Landlord's designated contractor therefor, remove three (3) freight
elevator shaft ways servicing the Demised Premises and seal the same at the
floor slabs in the Demised Premises to the extent necessary to create usable
area in the Demised Premises in the location on the floor of the Demised
Premises where such shaft ways are currently located (the "Shaft Work").
Landlord shall pay for the cost and expense of the Shaft Work directly to the
contractor's performing same.

              (d) With respect to Tenant's Work, Tenant agrees that Tenant shall
file separately its Initial Plan for space in the 500 Building and space in the
512 Building with the New York City Department of Buildings and such other
governmental agencies having jurisdiction over

                                      11

<PAGE>

the issuance of permits for Tenant's Work. Tenant acknowledges that as of the
date hereof there are separate Class E systems and sprinkler risers for the 500
Building and the 512 Building. Tenant further acknowledges that during the term
of this Lease, Landlord in its sole election, may combine the lobbies of the 500
Building and the 512 Building into a single lobby in a location to be selected
by Landlord, in its sole discretion, and unify the Class E systems for the
Building. In the event Landlord shall elect to combine the lobbies of the 500
Building and the 512 Building and unify the Class E systems, then Tenant shall
make all necessary modifications and install all necessary devices within the
Demised Premises to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for any reasonable actual out-of-pocket expenses to modify the
Class E systems in the Demised Premises incurred by Tenant as a result of
Landlord's combining such lobbies and unifying the Class E system of the 500 and
the 512 Building.

              (e) In connection with the performance of Tenant's Work, Landlord
shall provide to Tenant a reasonable number of connection points (at least one
connection point on every third (3rd) floor of the Building) to each Building's
fire safety system to which it may connect its smoke detectors and other life
safety and security devices in the Demised Premises to comply with applicable
laws, including, without limitation, New York City local law; provided, however,
Tenant shall solely be responsible for the cost of making such connection.

              (f) Notwithstanding any provision of this lease, to the contrary,
Tenant shall have the right to perform Tenant's Work and any alterations outside
of the Demised Premises with respect to the installation of air conditioning and
plumbing systems for its bathrooms, cafeteria and pantries and
telecommunications risers, subject, however, to Landlord's prior approval of
plans and specifications therefor.

         4.05 All disputes regarding delay under 4.02(b) or whether or not
substantial completion has been achieved in 4.02 or 4.05 or any other
construction dispute in connection with Article 4, shall be resolved by
arbitration in accordance with Article 34 hereof.

         4.06 If Tenant is unable to obtain any governmental permits, consents
or approvals, the certificate of occupancy amendments referred to below, or
other governmental documentation required by Tenant for the performance of
Tenant's Work or the lawful occupancy of any portion of the Demised Premises,
then provided (i) Tenant hired an expediter designated by Landlord to obtain
same, and (ii) the inability to obtain same was a direct and unavoidable result
of an existing Building violation not occasioned by any act or failure to act of
Tenant, then the Rent Commencement Date shall be extended by one day for each
day of Tenant's delay in performing or completing Tenant's Work or in taking
occupancy of the Demised Premises as a result thereof. Landlord and Tenant agree
that any such extension of the Rent Commencement Date shall apply only to the
rent payable by Tenant with respect to any portion of the Premises in which it
could not perform work or which it could not occupy do to Landlord's violation.
Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant's

                                      12

sole cost and expense, in Tenant's efforts to obtain an amended certificate of
occupancy permitting the relocation of the floor on which a cafeteria may be
located.

                             Adjustments Of Rent

         5.01 Tax Escalation. For the purpose of this lease:

              (a) "Taxes" shall mean the real estate taxes and assessments and
special assessments imposed upon the Building and the 500 Land and the 512 Land
including, without limitation, any assessments for public improvement or benefit
to the Building or the 500 Land or the 512 Land, or the locality in which the
Building is situated, such as Business Improvement District taxes and
assessments. If at any time during the term of this lease the methods of
taxation prevailing at the commencement of the term hereof shall be altered so
that in lieu of or as an addition to or a substitute for the whole or any part
of the taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges now levied, assessed
or imposed on real estate and the improvements thereon, there shall be levied,
assessed or imposed (i) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge wholly or
partially as capital levy or otherwise on the rents received therefrom, or (ii)
a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or
in part upon the Demised Premises and imposed upon Landlord, then all such
taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges, or the part thereof so
measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term "Taxes" for
the purposes hereof. The term "Taxes" shall not include any income, franchise,
transfer, inheritance, capital stock or other similar tax imposed on Landlord.
If, by law, any assessment may be paid in installments, then, for the purposes
hereof (i) such assessment shall be deemed to have been payable in the maximum
number of installments permitted by law and (ii) there shall be included in
Taxes, for each Tax Year in which such installments may be paid, the
installments of such assessment so becoming payable during such Tax Year,
together with any interest thereon payable during such Tax Year.

Landlord represents that neither the Building nor the 500 Land or the 512 Land
currently receive the benefit of any tax abatement or exemption of any nature
whatsoever.

Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, Taxes shall not
include any assessment or real estate taxes on any expansion of the Building
which is constructed or completed after the Commencement Date of this lease.

              (b) The term "500 Base Tax Rate" shall mean the product obtained
by multiplying (i) the assessed values of the 500 Building and the parcel of
land on which the 500 Building is constructed (hereinafter called the "500
Land") upon which real estate taxes are paid by Landlord for the 500 Building
for the Tax Year commencing July 1, 2000, and ending on June 30, 2001 by (ii)
the real property tax rate for such Tax Year. The term "512 Base Tax Rate" shall
mean the product obtained by multiplying (i) the assessed values of the 512
Building and the parcel of land on which the 512 Building is constructed
(hereinafter called the "512 Land") upon which real estate

                                      13

<PAGE>

taxes are paid by Landlord for the 512 Building for the Tax Year commencing July
1, 2000, and ending on June 30, 2001 by (ii) the real property tax rate for such
Tax Year.

              (c)  "Tax Year" shall mean the fiscal year for which Taxes are
levied by the governmental authority;

              (d) "Tenant's 500 Proportionate Share" shall mean 10.23%, which
has been computed on the basis of a fraction, the numerator of which is the
agreed rentable square foot area of the Demised Premises in the 500 Building as
set forth below (which rentable square foot area is hereinafter sometimes
referred to as the "Multiplication Factor") and the denominator of which is the
agreed rentable square foot area of the Building as set forth below. The parties
agree that the rentable square foot area of the Demised Premises in the 500
Building shall be deemed to be 61,922 square feet and that the agreed rentable
square foot area of the 500 Building shall be deemed to be 605,574 square feet
(hereinafter referred to as the "500 Building Area").

              (e) "Tenant's 512 Proportionate Share" shall mean 8.59%, which has
been computed on the basis of a fraction, the numerator of which is the agreed
rentable square foot area of the Demised Premises in the 512 Building as set
forth below (which rentable square foot area is hereinafter sometimes referred
to as the "Multiplication Factor") and the denominator of which is the agreed
rentable square foot area of the Building as set forth below. The parties agree
that the rentable square foot area of the Demised Premises in the 512 Building
shall be deemed to be 43,931 square feet and that the agreed rentable square
foot area of the Building shall be deemed to be 511,304 square feet (hereinafter
referred to as the "512 Building Area").

         5.02 Tenant shall pay as additional rent for each Tax Year an amount
(hereinafter referred to as "Tenant's Tax Payment") equal to the sum of (i)
Tenant's 500 Proportionate Share of the amount by which the 500 Taxes for such
Tax Year exceed the 500 Base Tax Rate and (ii) Tenant's 512 Proportionate Share
of the amount by which the 512 Taxes for such Tax Year exceed the 512 Base Tax
Rate. The Tax Payment shall be appropriately prorated, if necessary, to
correspond with that portion of a Tax Year occurring within the Term of this
lease. After Landlord has furnished Tenant with written demand for the Tax
Payment, which demand shall be accompanied by a copy of the tax bill along with
Landlord's computation of the Tax Payment (hereinafter referred to as a "Tax
Statementh), Tenant shall pay Landlord, with the monthly installments of rent
due on June 1 and December 1 of each such Tax Year, an amount equal to one-half
(1/2) of the total sum of the Tax Payment for such Tax Year, until such time as
a new demand (and said accompanying information) for a subsequent Tax Year shall
become effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tax Payment shall not be
due prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after demand of said Tax Payment.
If, during the term of this lease, Taxes are required to be paid in full or in
quarterly or other installments to the applicable governmental taxing authority,
on any other date or dates than as presently required, then Tenant's
installments of its Tax Payment shall be correspondingly modified so that said
payments are due thirty (30) days after the date of receipt by Tenant of a

                                      14

<PAGE>

request by Landlord for such payment, but in no event before the date which is
ten (10) days prior to the date the applicable installment is due to the taxing
authority.

         5.03 Notwithstanding the fact that the Tax Payment is measured by an
increase in Taxes, such increase is additional rent and shall be paid by Tenant
as provided herein regardless of the fact that Tenant may be exempt, in whole or
in part, from the payment of any taxes by reason of Tenant's diplomatic or other
tax exempt status or for any other reason whatsoever.

         5.04 Only Landlord shall be eligible to institute tax reduction or
other proceedings to reduce the assessed valuation of the 500 Land, the 512 Land
and Building. Should Landlord be successful in any such reduction proceedings
and obtain a rebate or a reduction in assessment for periods during which Tenant
has paid or is obligated to pay 500 Tenant's Proportionate Share or Tenant's 512
Proportionate Share (hereinafter collectively called "Tenant's Proportionate
Share) of increases in Taxes then either (a) Landlord shall, in the event a
rebate is obtained, return Tenant's Proportionate Share of such rebate to Tenant
after deducting Landlord's reasonable expenses, including without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements in connection with such rebate
(such expenses incurred with respect to a rebate or reduction in assessment
being hereinafter referred to as "Tax Expenses"), or, (b) if a reduction in
assessment is obtained prior to the date Tenant would be required to pay
Tenant's Proportionate Share of such increase in Taxes, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, upon written request, Tenant's Proportionate Share of such Tax
Expenses; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant's Proportionate Share
of such Tax Expenses exceed Tenant's Proportionate Share of the reduction in
Tenant's Tax Payment for such Tax Year resulting from such reduction in
assessment.

         5.05 Intentionally Omitted.

         5.06 (a) Anything in this Article 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, in
the event that the holder of any superior mortgage or the lessor of any superior
lease (as such terms are defined in Section 7.01 hereof) shall require advance
payments from Landlord on account of Taxes, then Tenant will pay to Landlord
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Tax Payment in the same number of
installments as Landlord's payments to the holders of any superior mortgage or
the lessor of any superior lease. Any payments to be made by Tenant under this
Section 5.06(a) shall be made within thirty (30) days after demand, but in no
event earlier than ten (10) days prior to the date Landlord is required to make
such payments to the holder of the superior mortgage or the lessor of the
superior lease;

              (b) Anything in Sections 5.01 through 5.06 to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event whatsoever shall the fixed rent be reduced below
the fixed rent initially set forth in Section 1.04(a) hereof as same may be
increased by provisions of this lease other than Sections 5.01 through 5.06.

                                      15

<PAGE>

         5.07 (a)  The term "Operational Year" shall mean the calendar year 2000
and each succeeding calendar year thereafter.

              (b) The term "Wage Rate" with respect to any Operating Year shall
mean the regular average hourly wage rate required to be paid to Porters in
Class A Office Buildings pursuant to any agreement between the Realty Advisory
Board on Labor Relations, Incorporated or any successor thereto (hereinafter
referred to as "R.A.B.") and Local 32B/32J of the Building Service Employees
International Union AFL-CIO, or any successor thereto (hereinafter referred to
as "Local 32B ") in effect during such Operating Year, provided that if any such
agreement shall require Porters to be regularly employed on days or during hours
when overtime or other premium pay rates are in effect, then the term "regular
average hourly wage rate" shall mean the regular average hourly wage rate for
the hours in a calendar week which Porters are required to be regularly employed
(whether or not actually at work in the Building), e.g., if, for example, as of
January 1, 2000, an agreement between R.A.B. and Local 32B would require the
regular employment of Porters for 40 hours during a calendar week at a regular
average hourly wage of $4.00 for the first 30 hours and at an overtime hourly
average wage of $5.00 for the remaining 10 hours, then the regular average
hourly wage rate under this subsection, as of January 1, 2000, would be the sum
arrived at by dividing the total weekly average wages of $170.00 by the total
number of required hours of employment which is 40 and resulting in a regular
average hourly wage rate of $4.25. The computation of the regular average hourly
wage rate shall be on the same basis whether based on an hourly or other pay
scale but predicated on the number of hours in such respective work weeks,
whether paid by Landlord or any independent contractor. If there is no such
agreement in effect as of the date of any Escalation Statement on which such
regular average hourly wage rate is determinable, the computations shall be made
on the basis of the regular average hourly wage rate being paid by Landlord or
by the contractor performing porter or cleaning services for Landlord as of the
date of such Escalation Statement and appropriate retroactive adjustments shall
be made when the regular average hourly wage rate paid as of such Escalation
Statement is finally determined. If length of service shall be a factor in
determining any element of the Wage Rate then it shall be conclusively presumed
that all employees have at least three years of service. The Wage Rate is
intended to be an index in the nature of a cost of living index, and is not
intended to reflect the actual costs of wages or expenses for the Building.
Landlord and Tenant agree that the Wage Rate shall be calculated without regard
to benefits required to be granted to Porters pursuant to any agreement between
the RAB and Local 32 such as sums paid for pension, welfare, dental and training
fund contributions, social security, unemployment, disability and similar
benefits.

              (c) The term "Porters" shall mean that classification of employee
engaged in the general maintenance and operation of Class A Office Buildings
most nearly comparable to the classification now applicable to porters in the
current agreements between R.A.B. and Local 32B/32J (which classification is
presently termed "others" in said agreement).

                                      16

<PAGE>

              (d) The term "Class A Office Buildings" shall mean office

              (f) The term "Escalation Statement" shall mean a statement setting

or Landlord's failure to make a demand, shall not in any way cause Landlord to
forfeit or surrender its rights to collect any of the foregoing items of
additional rent which may have become due during the term of this lease
provided, however, that if (a) Landlord shall fail to furnish a Tax Statement
with respect to any Tax Year within three (3) years following the end of such

furnish a Tax Statement, and Tenant shall have no obligation to make any Tax
Payment, with respect to such Tax Year and (b) Landlord shall fail to furnish an
Escalation Statement with respect to any Escalation Year within three (3) years
following the end of such Operational Year, then Landlord shall be deemed to
have irrevocably waived its right to furnish an Operating Statement, and Tenant
shall have no obligation to make any Operating Payment, with respect to such
Operational Year, except that, neither event

timely furnished pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 where the amounts

                                Security Deposit

         6.01 Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, Tenant shall have
deposited with Landlord, on or before the date hereof the sum of $9,250,000.00,
by Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined) as security for the faithful
performance, observance and compliance with all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this lease on Tenant's part to perform, observe or comply with.
Tenant agrees that, in the event that Tenant defaults under any of the terms,
covenants or conditions in this lease on Tenant's part to observe, perform or
comply with (including, without limitation, the payment of any installment of
fixed rent or any amount of additional rent), which default continues after any
notice required under this lease and the expiration of any applicable cure
period, Landlord may use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of the security
so deposited or may notify the Issuing Bank (as such term is defined in Section
6.03 hereof) and thereupon receive all of the monies represented by the said
Letter of Credit and use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of such
proceeds, or both, as the case may be, to the extent required for the payment of
any fixed rent, additional rent, or any other sums as to which Tenant is in
default, or for any sum that Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by
reason of any such default (including any damages or deficiency accrued before
or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord). In the event that
Landlord applies or retains any portion or all of such Letter of Credit, the
amount not so used, applied or retained shall continue to be treated as Tenant's
security deposit, and Tenant shall restore the amount so applied or retained
within five (5) days after Landlord's demand therefor, so that, at all times,
the amount deposited shall be $9,250,000.00. In the event that Tenant shall
fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and
conditions of this lease, that portion, if any, of the Letter of Credit not
used, applied or retained shall be returned to Tenant no later than ten (10)
days after the Expiration Date (or such earlier date upon which the term may
expire or be cancelled or terminated pursuant to any of the conditions or
covenants of this lease or pursuant to law) and after delivery of possession of
the entire Demised Premises to Landlord, in accordance with, and subject to, the
applicable provisions of this lease.

         6.02 To the extent that the security deposited under this Article is a
cash security deposit, Landlord agrees to deposit same into a separate interest
bearing account segregated from Landlord's funds, in a commercial bank which is
a member of the New York Clearing House Association

                                      18

<PAGE>

located in the City of New York selected, from time to time, by Landlord in its
sole discretion. Landlord agrees, further to hold said security in such an
account for the entire term of this lease, subject, however, to the terms of
Section 6.01 above with respect to the use, application or retention of such
security. The interest earned on such security shall, provided Tenant is not
then in default under this lease, and to the extent that same shall not be used,
applied or retained pursuant to the terms of Section 6.01 above, be paid to
Tenant upon the request of Tenant, but not more than once during any calendar
year of the term of this lease. Unless and until such interest shall be paid to
Tenant as herein provided, the same shall be held as a part of the security
deposited by Tenant, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of Section
6.01 above. Landlord shall not be required to credit any security with the
interest for any period during which Landlord does not receive interest thereon.

         6.03 (a) The Letter of Credit (the "Letter of Credit") to be delivered
as security under this Article shall be a clean, irrevocable and unconditional
letter of credit issued by and drawn upon a commercial bank (hereinafter
referred to as the "Issuing Bank") with offices for banking purposes in the City
of New York having a net worth of not less than Five Hundred Million Dollars
($500,000,000.00), which Letter of Credit shall have a term of not less than one
year, be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F or in such other form and
content as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, be for the account of
Landlord and be in the amount of $9,250,000.00. The Letter of Credit shall
provide that:

                  (i) The Issuing Bank shall pay to Landlord an amount up to the
face amount of the Letter of Credit upon presentation of: (a) the Letter of
Credit and a sight draft in the amount to be drawn and (b) a written statement
certifying that the Landlord, by the terms of this lease, is entitled to draw on
said Letter of Credit;

                  (ii) The Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be automatically
renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each during the
term of this lease, unless the Issuing Bank sends written notice (hereinafter
called the "Non-Renewal Notice") to Landlord by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, not less than thirty (30) days next preceding the then
expiration date of the Letter of Credit, that it elects not to have such Letter
of Credit renewed; and

                  (iii) The Letter of Credit shall be transferable by the
beneficiary thereof, without charge to the beneficiary, and that any failure to
pay the transfer charges shall not affect the beneficiary's ability to transfer
the Letter of Credit; the Letter of Credit may be transferred as aforesaid from
time to time, by the then beneficiary under the Letter of Credit; to effectuate
a transfer under the Letter of Credit, the beneficiary must notify the Issuing
Bank in writing signed by an authorized signatory of beneficiary, of the name
and address of the transferee and of the effective date of the transfer; and
upon the Issuing Bank's receipt of such writing, the Issuing Bank will issue an
amendment to the Letter of Credit that changes the name and address of the
beneficiary

                                      19

<PAGE>

hereof and shall deliver the original of such amendment to the new
beneficiary/transferee and a copy thereof to the prior beneficiary/transferor.

              (b) In the event that the Issuing Bank sends a Non-Renewal Notice.
Tenant shall have twenty (20) days to provide Landlord with a substitute Letter
of Credit which meets the requirements of this Section 6.03. In the event that
Tenant fails within said twenty (20) day period to provide Landlord with a
substitute Letter of Credit, Landlord, subject only to the requirements of
(a)(i) of this Section, shall have the right, exercisable by a sight draft only
presented to the Issuing Bank and without any notice to Tenant, to receive the
moneys represented by the Letter of Credit, which moneys shall be held by
Landlord as a cash deposit pursuant to the terms of this Article pending the
replacement of such Letter of Credit or Tenant's default hereunder.

         6.04 In the event of a sale or transfer of the land or the Building, or
the then Landlord's interest in the Land or the Building, or a leasing by the
then Landlord of the Land or the Building or of Landlord's interest therein,
Landlord shall have the right, at no cost or expense to Landlord, to transfer or
assign such cash security or Letter of Credit, or both, as the case may be, to
the vendee, transferee or lessee, and Landlord shall notify Tenant, by certified
mail, return receipt requested, of such sale, transfer or lease, together with
the name and address of such vendee, transferee or lessee, and Landlord shall
thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such cash
security or Letter of Credit provided that (a) Tenant is given written notice of
such sale; (b) the vendee or lessee, as the case may be, shall, by written
agreement, assume all of Landlord's duties and obligations under this Lease with
respect to such security and a copy of such assumption agreement shall be
delivered to Tenant promptly after the effective date of such sale; and (c) in
the event that Landlord transfers such security, Tenant shall be given notice of
the name, address and bank account number where such security is deposited. In
such event, and subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing requirements,
Tenant agrees to look solely to the new landlord for the return of said cash
security or Letter of Credit. In the event that Landlord fails to transfer the
cash security or Letter of Credit to a vendee or lessee, Landlord shall return
the cash security or Letter of Credit, as the case may be, to Tenant no later
than the first business day following the effective date of such sale. It is
agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment
made of said cash security or Letter of Credit to a new Landlord. In connection
with the foregoing, Tenant, at no cost to Tenant, shall reasonably cooperate
with Landlord and such vendee, transferee or lessee in connection with the
transfer or assignment of such security or Letter of Credit, including, without
limitation, executing and delivering, within five (5) days after demand
therefor, any and all instruments, certificates, agreements or other documents
that Landlord, such vendee, transferee or lessee, the bank with which such
security is deposited or the Issuing Bank may reasonably require.

         6.05 Tenant covenants that it will not assign or encumber, or attempt
to assign or encumber, such cash security or Letter of Credit, and that neither
Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment,
encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance.

the qualifications described in Section 6.03. Upon receipt of a Replacement L/C
meeting the qualifications of Section 6.03, Landlord shall forthwith return the
Existing L/C to Tenant. In the event that a Replacement L/C meeting the
qualifications of Section 6.03 is not received by Landlord within the time
specified, the Existing L/C may be presented for payment by Landlord and the
proceeds thereof shall be held by Landlord in accordance with Sections 6.01 and
6.02 subject, however, to Tenant's right, at any time thereafter prior to a
Tenant's default hereunder, to replace such cash security with a new letter of
credit meeting the qualifications of Section 6.03. Tenant shall have the right
from time to time and at any time to substitute the Existing L/C with a Letter
of Credit meeting the qualifications of Section 6.03.

         6.19 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant has delivered in escrow to
Arent Fox Kintner Plotkin & Kahn, PLLC (the "Escrow Agent") the sum of Nine
Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($9,250,000.00) (the "Cash Security
Deposit") as the security deposit under this lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably
directs Escrow Agent to wire transfer the Cash Security Deposit to Landlord if
the Letter of Credit has not been received by Escrow Agent by 2:00 P.M. on March
14, 2000. In the event the Letter of Credit has been so received, Escrow Agent
shall wire transfer the Security Deposit to Tenant in accordance with Tenant's
written instructions.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                 Subordination, Notice to Lessors and Mortgagees

         7.01 Subject to the provisions of Section 7.05 hereof, this lease, and
all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate in all
respects to all ground leases, overriding leases and underlying leases of the
Land and/or the Building now or hereafter existing and to all mortgages which
may now or hereafter affect the Land and/or the Building and/or any of such
leases, whether or not such mortgages shall also cover other lands and/or
buildings, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such
mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of
such leases and such mortgages and spreaders and consolidations of such
mortgages. The leases to which this lease is, at the time referred to, subject
and subordinate pursuant to this Article are hereinafter sometimes referred to
as "superior leases" and the mortgages to which this lease is, at the time
referred to, subject and subordinate are hereinafter sometimes referred to as
"superior mortgages", the lessor of a superior lease or its successor in
interest at the time referred to is sometimes hereinafter referred to as a
"lessor", and the mortgagee under a

                                      25

<PAGE>

superior mortgage or its successor in interest at the time referred to is
sometimes hereafter referred to as "mortgagee".

         7.02 The then holders of all superior mortgages and the then lessors
under all superior leases are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this
Article, and may enforce the provisions of this Article before or after the
foreclosure of the superior mortgage in question and before or after the
termination of the superior lease in question, as the case may be. In the event
of any act or omission of Landlord that would give Tenant the right, immediately
or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this lease, or to
claim a partial or total eviction, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or offset
against the payment of rent, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until it
has given written notice of such act or omission or the accrual of such claim or
right, to the holder of each superior mortgage and the lessor of each superior
lease whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant in
writing, and (ii)(A) if the Landlord's default in question can be cured by the
payment of money or is otherwise curable within thirty (30) days, the holders of
each superior mortgage and the lessors under each superior lease who shall have
become entitled under such superior mortgage(s) and such superior lease(s) to
cure such default shall have thirty (30) days after the giving of Tenant's
notice to cure same; and (B) if the Landlord's default in question cannot be
cured by the payment of money and cannot otherwise reasonably be cured within
such thirty (30) days, the holders of each superior mortgage and the lessors
under each superior lease who shall have become entitled under such superior
mortgage(s) and such superior lease(s) to cure such default shall have such
period of time as is necessary to cure the default; provided that, in the case
of clause (ii)(B) above, (x) the holder or lessor, as the case may be, notifies
Tenant of its intention to cure the default, (y) such holder or lessor, as the
case may be, commences action to cure the default within such thirty (30) days,
and (z) such holder or lessor, as the case may be, thereafter proceeds
diligently at all times to cure the default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
no event shall any holder of a superior mortgage or lessor under a superior
lease have a lesser period of time to cure a default than is granted to Landlord
under this lease.

         7.03 If the lessor of a superior lease or the holder of a superior
mortgage shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this lease, whether
through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or
if a superior lease shall terminate or be terminated for any reason, then, the
party so succeeding to Landlord's rights, as the successor owner of the property
of which the Demised Premises is a part, or as the mortgagee in possession
thereof, or otherwise (such party, owner or mortgagee being herein sometimes
called the "successor landlord"), shall not disturb Tenant's rights under this
lease, and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such successor landlord as
Tenant's landlord under this lease (the successor landlord shall be subject to
the non-disturbance agreement between Tenant and such successor landlord or its
predecessor-in-interest), and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any
instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request to evidence such
attornment. This lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it
were, a direct lease between the successor landlord and Tenant, upon all of the
executory terms,

                                      26

<PAGE>

conditions and covenants as are set forth in this lease and shall be applicable
after such attornment, except that the successor landlord shall not be

              (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord
(including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), but successor
landlord will be obligated to cure any continuing defaults, or

              (b) subject to any defense or offsets which Tenant may have
against any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting
Landlord), other than any offsets and defenses expressly set forth in this
lease, or

              (c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant
might have paid for more than one (1) month in advance of the due date under
this lease to any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then
defaulting Landlord), or

              (d) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which
was required to be made prior to the time successor landlord succeeded to any
prior landlord's interest (it being agreed that the foregoing shall not limit
any offsets or defenses expressly set forth in this lease), or

              (e) accountable for any monies deposited with any prior landlord
(including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually
received by successor landlord, or

              (f) bound by any material amendment or modification of this lease
made without the consent of successor landlord, which consent successor landlord
agrees not to unreasonably withhold, delay or condition.

         7.04 If, in connection with obtaining financing or refinancing for the
Building, or Landlord's estate and interest therein, a lender shall request
reasonable modifications to this lease as a condition to such financing or
refinancing, Tenant will not withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto,
provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations or decrease the
rights of Tenant hereunder (except, perhaps, to the extent that Tenant may be
required to give notices of any defaults by Landlord to such lender and/or
permit the curing of such defaults by such lender together with the granting of
such additional time for the curing of said defaults as may be required for such
lender to get possession of the Building, provided that such default is
non-monetary and cannot be cured without obtaining such possession and lender is
diligently prosecuting its remedies to so obtain possession of the Building). In
no event shall a requirement that the consent of any such lender be given for
any modification of this lease or, only in the case where Landlord's consent is
required pursuant to the provisions of this lease for any assignment or
sublease, to any assignment or sublease, be deemed to materially adversely
affect the leasehold interest hereby created; provided, however, that the
standard for the granting or denial of such consent by the lender shall be the
same as the standard for the granting or denial of such consent applicable to
Landlord pursuant to the

                                      27

<PAGE>

terms of this lease. Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a duly
executed modification or amendment of this lease incorporating such modification
within thirty (30) days of request therefor.

         7.05 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.01
hereof, this lease shall be subject and subordinate to (i) any mortgages now
existing or made by Landlord subsequent to the date hereof and (ii) any leases
now existing or entered into by Landlord subsequent to the date hereof provided
that with respect to future leases and mortgages Landlord shall obtain a
Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (hereinafter referred to
as an "SNDA") for the benefit of Tenant from the holder of such superior
mortgage or from the lessor under such a superior lease which SNDA shall be in
form and content reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and such holder or lessor and
which shall contain, in substance, the provisions set forth in the subsections
(a) and (b) below:

              (a) From the lessor under any future superior lease: An agreement,
for the benefit of Tenant, to the effect, inter alia, that as long as Tenant is
not in default in the payment of fixed rent or additional rent or any other
term, covenant or condition of this lease beyond the expiration of any
applicable notice and cure period and provided Tenant attorns to such lessor
under the terms and provisions of this lease, (i) its rights as Tenant hereunder
shall not be affected or terminated, (ii) its possession of the Demised Premises
shall not be disturbed, (iii) no action or proceeding shall be commenced to
remove or evict Tenant, and (iv) this lease shall at all times continue in full
force and effect notwithstanding the termination or expiration of the superior
lease, prior to the expiration or termination of this lease.

              (b) From the holders of superior mortgages: An agreement, for the
benefit of Tenant, to the effect, inter alia, that as long as Tenant is not in
default in the payment of fixed rent or additional rent or any other term,
covenant or condition of this lease beyond the expiration of any applicable
notice and cure period, (i) its rights as Tenant hereunder shall not be
terminated and (ii) the possession of Tenant shall not be disturbed by the
mortgagee or anyone claiming by, through or under such mortgagee, or by any
proceedings on the debt which any such superior mortgage secures or by virtue of
a right or power contained in any such superior mortgage or the bond or note
secured thereby and (iii) that any sale at foreclosure will be subject to this
lease.

         7.06. Landlord represents that as of the date of execution hereof, (i)
there are no existing superior mortgages affecting Landlord's interests under
the Superior Documents (as that term is hereinafter defined) (ii) there are no
existing superior leases except as set forth in Article 40 hereof. Landlord
shall use its best efforts to obtain an SNDA from the holder of the existing
superior lease, but Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any money or bring
any legal action to obtain same. In the event Landlord is unable to obtain any
such SNDA this lease shall be unaffected and Landlord shall have no liability in
connection therewith. So long as Landlord shall have used its best efforts as
aforesaid.

                                 Quiet Enjoyment

         8.01 So long as this lease is in full force and effect, Tenant shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                            Assignment And Subletting

         9.01 (a) Subject to the further provisions of this Article 9, Tenant,
for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it shall not
assign, mortgage, or encumber this lease or any of its rights or estates
hereunder, sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or suffer, or
permit, the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, to be used or occupied by
others, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, except
as otherwise provided in this lease. If this lease be assigned, or if the
Demised Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than
Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee,
subtenant, or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein
reserved, but no assignment, subletting, occupancy, or collection shall be
deemed a waiver of the provisions hereof, the acceptance of the assignee,
subtenant, or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further
performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained.
Landlord's consent to an assignment or subletting shall not, in any wise, be
construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord's express written consent to
any further assignment or subletting, to the extent such consent is required
pursuant to the terms of this lease. In no event shall any permitted sublessee
assign or encumber its sublease, further sublet all or any portion of its sublet
space, or otherwise suffer or permit the sublet space, or any part thereof, to
be used or occupied by others, without Landlord's prior written consent in each
instance which will be granted or denied on the same basis as a similar request
by Tenant, except that Landlord's consent shall not be required with respect to
any assignment, sublease or occupancy by others if such consent would not be
required for a similar transaction made by Tenant.

              (b) As used in this Article, except in the definition of the term
"Related Entity," the word "control," (including the derivations of the word
"control," such as "controlling" "controlled by" or "under common control with"
or words of like import) shall mean: (i) ownership of more than 50% of the
outstanding voting capital stock of a corporation or more than 50% of the
beneficial interests of any other entity or (ii) the ability effectively to
control or direct the business decisions of such corporation or entity. The term
"Related Entity" shall mean an entity which controls, is controlled by or is
under common control with Tenant, which for purposes hereof shall mean (x)
ownership by Tenant of more than 40% of the outstanding voting capital stock of
a corporation or more than 40% of the beneficial interests of any other entity
and (y) the ability to effectively control or direct the business decisions of
such corporation or entity.

         9.02 If Tenant shall, at any time or times during the term of this
lease, desire to assign this lease or sublet all or any part of the Demised
Premises, other than an assignment or sublease specified in Section 9.11 hereof
(a "Non-Recapture Sublease") Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord
("Tenant's Notice"), which notice shall be accompanied by: (a) a term sheet
containing all material terms and conditions in connection with the proposed
assignment or sublease. the effective or commencement date of which shall be not
less than thirty (30) nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the
giving of such notice; (b) a statement setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant; and (c) whatever current
financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant,
including its most recent financial report is available to Tenant. Such notice
shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord (or
Landlord's designee) may, at its option, (i) sublease such space (hereinafter
referred to as the "Leaseback Space") from Tenant upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of all or part
of the Demised Premises), (ii) terminate this lease (if the proposed transaction
is an assignment or a sublease of all or substantially all of the Demised
Premises), or (iii) terminate this lease with respect to the Leaseback Space (if
the proposed transaction is a sublease-of space which (x) when aggregated with
all of the other Sublease Space exceeds 15,000 rentable square feet or (y) is
for all or substantially all of the balance of the term of this lease). Said
options may be exercised by Landlord by notice to Tenant at any time within
twenty (20) days after such notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord; and
during such twenty (20) day period Tenant shall not assign this lease nor sublet
such space to any person.

         9.03 (a) If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this lease in
the case where Tenant desires either to assign this lease or sublet all or
substantially all of the Demised Premises, then, this lease shall end and expire
on the date that such assignment or sublet was to be effective or commence, as
the case may be, and the fixed rent and additional rent shall be paid and
apportioned to such date.

              (b) If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this lease in
part in any case where Tenant desires to sublet part of the Demised Premises
then, (i) this lease shall end and expire with respect to such part of the
Demised Premises on the date that the proposed sublease was to commence; (ii)
from and after such date the fixed rent and additional rent shall be adjusted,
based upon the proportion that the rentable area of the Demised Premises
remaining bears to the total rentable area of the Demised Premises; and (iii)
Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall physically separate such part of
the Demised Premises from the balance of the Demised Premises and shall comply
with any laws and requirements of any public authorities relating to such
separation.

         9.04 (a) If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Leaseback
Space, such sublease to Landlord or its designee (as subtenant) shall be at the
lower of (i) the rental rate per rentable square foot of fixed rent and
additional rent then payable pursuant to this lease and (ii) the

                                      30
<PAGE>

rentals set forth in the proposed sublease, and shall be for the same term as
that of the proposed subletting, and such sublease:

                      (v) shall be expressly subject to all of the covenants,
agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this lease except such as are
irrelevant or inapplicable, and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the
contrary in this Section;

                      (w) shall be upon the same terms and conditions as those
contained in the proposed sublease, except such as are irrelevant or
inapplicable and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this
Section;

                      (x) shall give the sublessee the unqualified and
unrestricted right, without Tenant's permission, to assign such sublease or any
interest therein and/or to sublet the Leaseback Space or any part or parts of
the Leaseback Space and to make any and all changes, alterations, and
improvements in the space covered by such sublease provided such changes,
alterations and improvements are of an "office-type" nature. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord agrees not to sublet the Leaseback Space (only to the extent
the Leaseback Space is a partial floor or partial floors of the Demised Premises
on which Tenant named herein is occupying space) to any of the following during
the term of this lease: Martha Stewart, Omni Media, Inc., CondeNet, Inc.,
Snowball.com, Inc., ChickClick.com, Lifetime, Inc., Women.com,
WorkingWomenNetwork, Inc. and Oxygen Media, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as a
"Competitor");

                      (y) shall provide that any assignee or further subtenant,
of Landlord or its designee, may, at the election of Landlord, be permitted to
make alterations, decorations and installations in the Leaseback Space or any
part thereof of an "office-type" nature and shall also provide in substance that
any such alterations, decorations and installations in the Leaseback Space
therein made by any assignee or subtenant of Landlord or its designee may be
removed, in whole or in part, by such assignee or subtenant, at its option,
prior to or upon the expiration or other termination of such sublease provided
that such assignee or subtenant, at its expense, shall repair any damage and
injury to that portion of the Leaseback Space so sublet caused by such removal
and further provided that Tenant shall have no obligation to remove such
alterations, decorations and installations or otherwise restore the Leaseback
Space at the expiration or sooner termination of this lease; and

                      (z) shall also provide that (A) the parties to such
sublease expressly negate any intention that any estate created under such
sublease be merged with any other estate held by either of said parties, (B) any
assignment or subletting by Landlord or its designee (as the subtenant) may be
for the purpose or purposes that are permitted of Tenant pursuant to the terms
of this lease, (C) Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall and will at all times
provide and permit reasonably appropriate means of ingress to and egress from
the Leaseback

                                      31

<PAGE>

Space so sublet by Tenant to Landlord or its designee, as long as such means of
ingress to and egress from the Leaseback Space is initially proposed by the
Tenant, (D) Landlord, at it's sole cost and expense, shall make such alterations
as may be required or deemed necessary by Landlord to physically separate the
Leaseback Space from the balance of the Demised Premises and shall comply with
any laws and requirements of public authorities relating to such separation, and
(E) that at the expiration of the term of such sublease, Tenant will accept the
space covered by such sublease in its then existing condition, subject to the
obligations of the sublessee to make such repairs thereto as may be necessary to
preserve the premises demised by such sublease in good order and condition.

              (b) If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Leaseback
Space, then:

                  (i) Landlord shall  indemnify and save Tenant  harmless from
all  obligations  under this lease as to the Leaseback Space during the period
of time it is so sublet to Landlord;

                  (ii)  Performance  by Landlord,  or its designee,  under a
sublease of the  Leaseback  Space shall be deemed performance by Tenant of any
similar obligation under this lease and any default under any such sublease
shall not give rise to a default under a similar obligation contained in this
Lease, nor shall Tenant be liable for any default under this lease or deemed to
be in default hereunder if such default is occasioned by or arises from any act
or omission of the tenant under such sublease or is occasioned by or arises from
any act or omission of any occupant holding under or pursuant to any such
sublease; and

                  (iii) Tenant shall have no obligation,  at the expiration or
earlier  termination of the term of this lease, to remove any alteration,
installation or improvement made in the Leaseback Space by Landlord, its
sublessees or assigns.

         9.05 In the event that Tenant complies with the provisions of Section
9.02 of this Article and Landlord does not exercise an option provided to it
thereunder within the time provided therefor, and provided that Tenant is not in
default of any of Tenant's obligations under this lease after notice and the
expiration of any applicable grace period, Landlord's consent (which must be in
writing and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) to the proposed
assignment or sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided
that Tenant has complied with the following conditions:

              (a) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the Demised Premises, or
the relevant part thereof, will be used in such a manner that is limited to the
uses permitted hereunder;

              (b) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a reputable person with
sufficient financial worth considering the responsibility involved, and Landlord
has been furnished with reasonable proof thereof;

                                      32

<PAGE>

              (c) neither (i) the proposed assignee or sublessee nor (ii) any
person that directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with, the proposed assignee or, sublessee or any person who
controls the proposed assignee or sublessee, is then an occupant or tenant of
any part of the Building;

              (d) the proposed assignee or sublessee is not a person with whom
Landlord is then actively negotiating to lease space in the Building or with
whom Landlord has actively negotiated to lease space in the Building during the
six (6) months prior to Tenant's request for consent thereto;

              (e) the proposed assignment agreement or sublease agreement, as

persons not affiliated with Tenant on any full floor comprising a portion in the
Demised Premises and not more than two (2) entities or persons not affiliated
with Tenant on any partial floor comprising a portion of the Demised Premises;

              (g) the rental and other terms and conditions of the executed
assignment or sublease are not substantially more favorable to the proposed

percent or less than the proposed rent rate in the applicable Tenant's Notice;
(y) the space being offered varies from the space set forth in Tenant's Notice
therefor by ten (10%) percent or more; or (z) the term of the proposed

              (h) Tenant shall not have:  (i) advertised  (but it may list,
upon notice to Landlord) the  availability  of the Demised Premises without

subtenant thereunder to extend or renew the term of such sublease beyond the
Expiration Date unless Tenant has extended the term of this lease in accordance
with Article 40 hereof; and

              (1) to the extent any SNDA with any superior mortgage or any
superior lease provides that the proposed assignment or subletting is subject to
the approval or consent of the holder thereof or lessor thereunder, such
approval or consent has been given.

Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Landlord's consent to any
proposed assignment or sublease shall be given or denied within the twenty
(20) day period set forth in Section 9.02 (it being agreed that in the event

assignment).

              (b) In the event that (i) Landlord fails to exercise any of its
options and consents to a proposed assignment or sublease and (ii) Tenant fails
to execute and deliver the assignment or sublease to which Landlord consented
within one hundred eighty (180) days after the giving of such consent, then
Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Section
9.02, before assigning this lease or subletting all or part of the Demised

an assignment or sublease containing terms and conditions substantially more
favorable to the proposed assignee or subtenant than set forth in Tenant's
Notice therefor (as defined in 9.05 (g) hereof) then in such event, Tenant's
request for consent pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof shall be deemed to be an

of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this
lease. Notwithstanding any such subletting and/or acceptance of rent or

terms, provisions and conditions contained in this lease on the part of Tenant
to be performed and for all acts and omissions of any licensee, subtenant, or
any other person claiming under or through any subtenant that shall be in
violation of any of the obligations of this lease, and any such violation shall
be deemed to be a violation by Tenant. Tenant further agrees that,
notwithstanding any such subletting, no other and further subletting of the
Demised Premises by Tenant, or any person claiming through or under Tenant
(except as provided in Section 9.11 of this Article), shall, or will be, made,
except upon compliance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Article. If
Landlord shall decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or
sublease in accordance with the provisions of this lease, or if Landlord shall
exercise any of its options under Section 9.02, Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) resulting from
any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed assignee or
subtenant or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar
compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.

         9.08 With respect to each and every sublease or subletting, whether or
not Landlord's consent is required under this Article, it is further agreed
that:

              (a) no subletting shall be for a term ending later than one day
prior to the expiration date of this lease;

              (b) no sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant shall take
possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, until a true, complete,
fully-executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord; and

              (c) each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate
to this lease and to the matters to which this lease is or shall be subordinate,
and that, in the event of termination, re-entry, or dispossess by Landlord under
this lease, subject to the provisions of Section 9.14 below, Landlord may, at
its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant as
sublandlord under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option,
attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease,
except that Landlord shall not (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of
Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any offset, not expressly
provided in such sublease, that theretofore accrued to such subtenant against
Tenant or (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any
previous prepayment of more than one month's fixed rent or any additional rent
then due.

         9.09 Any assignment or transfer, whether made with Landlord's consent
pursuant to Section 9.01 or without Landlord's consent pursuant to Section 9.11,
shall be made only if, and shall

                                      35

not be effective until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord, whereby the assignee shall assume all of the obligations of this lease
on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed from and after the date of
said assignment or transfer and whereby the assignee shall agree that the
provisions contained in Section 9.01 shall, notwithstanding such assignment or
transfer, continue to be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments
and transfers. The originally named Tenant covenants that, notwithstanding any
assignment or transfer, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this
lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of fixed rent and/or additional rent
by Landlord from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the originally
named Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the fixed rent and
additional rent and for the other obligations of this lease on the part of
Tenant to be performed or observed; if this lease shall be modified after any
such assignment so as to increase Tenant's obligations, then the originally
named Tenant, unless it consented to such modification in writing, shall be
liable only for the obligations under this lease as same existed prior to such
modification.

         9.10 (a) If Landlord shall give its consent to any assignment of this
lease, Tenant shall, in consideration therefor, pay to Landlord, as additional
rent, an amount equal to 50% of the amount by which (A) all sums and other

the assignee for or by reason of such assignment, (including, but not limited
to, (x) sums payable for the sale of Tenant's fixtures, leasehold improvements,
equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property, less (y) in the
case of a sale thereof, the then fair market value thereof) exceeds (B) the
Assignment Expenses (as hereinafter defined) (such excess is called the
"Assignment Profits"). As used herein, the term "Assignment Expenses" means the
sum of (1) all amounts paid or payable by Tenant in connection with such
assignment (aa) in making Changes at Tenant's expense to (or other changes in
the layout and finish of) the Demised Premises and/or (bb) in providing a fund

(2) the amount of (xx) any out-of-pocket brokerage commission(s) paid or payable
in connection with such assignment and (yy) any out-of-pocket legal fees paid or
payable by Tenant in connection with such assignment, plus (3) the amount of all
other concessions paid or payable by Tenant in connection with such assignment
(e.g., takeover expenses and/or payment of moving expenses), plus (4) the Fixed
Rent, Tax Payments and porter's wage payments during the period after the
vacating thereof by Tenant (or any subtenant) (computed separately with respect
to portions of the Demised Premises vacated on different dates) and prior to the
effective date of such assignment, plus (5) the amount of any out-of-pocket
advertising and marketing costs incurred with respect to the Demised Premises,
plus (6) Tenant's Improvement Cost amortized over a fifteen (15) year term, to
the extent such amortization is allocable to the period after the effective date
of such assignment, plus (7) all sales and/or transfer taxes paid or payable by
Tenant in connection with such assignment, plus (8) any amounts payable to
Landlord pursuant to Section 9.06(a) above in connection with such assignment.
"Tenant's Improvement Cost" shall mean an amount equal to the sum of (x)
Tenant's actual out-of-pocket costs in performing Tenant's Work and Changes
(including "soft

                                      36

<PAGE>

costs" and legal fees), minus (y) the Construction Payment (excluding the Base
Building portion of the Construction Payment).

              (b) If, with respect to any sublease of all or any part of the
Demised Premises (I) the aggregate of (x) the amounts paid in any calendar year
as fixed rent and recurring additional rent of the type which is payable
pursuant to Article 5 of this lease ("Recurring Additional Rent") by the
subtenant under such sublease and (y) the amount of any Other Sublease
Consideration paid in such calendar year to Tenant by such subtenant (the
amounts described in this clause (I) are collectively called the "Subletting
Consideration") shall be in excess of (II) Tenant's Basic Cost (as hereinafter
defined) for the space demised by such sublease for such calendar year (after
taking into account the provisions of Section 9.10(c) below), then, for each
such calendar year, Tenant (at the times and in the manner set forth in Section
9.10(d) below) shall (i) first retain from such excess an amount equal to the
Tenant's Associated Cost (as hereinafter defined) for such sublease as of the
end of such calendar year and (ii) second, divide the balance of such excess
(the balance of such excess is called "Sublease Profits"), if any, in half, and
retain one-half for itself and pay the other half to Landlord. "Other Sublease
Consideration" means all sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant's fixtures,
leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal
property less, in the case of the sale thereof, the then fair market value
thereof. "Tenant's Basic Cost" for any sublet space for any calendar year means
the sum of (A) the portion of the fixed rent, the Tax Payment and porter's wage
payments which is attributable to such sublet space for such calendar year (or
if the pertinent sublease is in effect for only a part of such calendar year,
the portion of such calendar year during which such sublease is in effect), plus
(B) the amount payable by Tenant as additional rent on account of electricity in
respect of such sublet space for such calendar year (or if the pertinent

                  business), either (aa) in making Changes to (or other changes
                  in the layout and finish of) either the sublet space or other
                  areas of the floors) on which the sublet space is located to
                  create or effect a change in common corridors and other
                  circulation areas on such floor(s) and/or (bb) in providing a
                  fund to the subtenant for either such purpose (by way of a
                  work allowance or the like), plus (2) the amount of (xx) any
                  out-of-pocket brokerage commission(s) paid or payable in
                  connection with such sublease and (yy) any out-of-pocket legal
                  fees paid by Tenant in connection with such sublease in or
                  prior to such calendar year, or to be paid by Tenant

                  by the subtenant for the conduct of business), plus (3) the
                  amount of all other concessions paid by Tenant in connection
                  with such sublease in or prior to such calendar year, or to be
                  paid by Tenant at any time after such calendar year (e.g.,
                  takeover expenses and/or payment of moving expenses), plus (4)
                  the Fixed Rent, Tax Payment and porter's wage payments which
                  are attributable to the sublet space during the period after
                  the vacating thereof by Tenant (or the prior subtenant)
                  (computed separately with respect to the portions of the
                  sublet space vacated on different dates) and prior to the
                  commencement of such sublease, plus (5) the amount of any
                  out-of-pocket advertising and marketing costs incurred with
                  respect to the sublet space, plus (6) Tenant's Improvement
                  Cost in respect to the sublet space, amortized over a fifteen

                  Subletting Consideration and the Tenant's Basic Cost (a
                  "deficiency", for any calendar year, being the amount by which
                  Tenant's Basic Cost for such calendar year exceeds the
                  Subletting Consideration for such calendar year), plus (8) the
                  aggregate of the scheduled deficiencies, if any, in all future
                  calendar years between the Subletting Consideration and the

                  such sublease for all prior calendar years.

              (c) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within sixty (60) days after
the end of each calendar year, and within 60 days after the expiration or
earlier termination of this lease, a statement specifying each sublease in

<PAGE>

              (d) The Assignment Profits payable under this Section 9.10 shall
be paid by Tenant within ten (10) Business Days of the date received by Tenant.
Together with Tenant's execution and delivery of such assignment, Tenant shall

accordance with the provisions of Article 34 hereof.

              (e) The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall not be applicable to
a sublease or assignment made pursuant to Section 9.11 below.

         9.11 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof to the
contrary, without the consent of Landlord, this lease may be assigned to (i) an
entity created by merger, reorganization or recapitalization of or with Tenant
or (ii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets; provided, in
the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii), that

                  (A) Landlord shall receive a duplicate original of such
assignment from Tenant within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof,

                  (B) the assignee assumes by written instrument all of Tenant's
obligations under this lease (but, in the case of clause (i), the same shall
only be necessary if Tenant shall not be the surviving entity),

                  (C) if such assignment shall be effective on or after the
fifth (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, then such assignee on the
effective date of such proposed assignment shall have a tangible net worth of at
least $250,000,000 and proof thereof, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, shall
have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective
date of such assignment; provided that if such assignee has a tangible net worth
of less than $250,000,000 on the effective date of such assignment, then, as a
condition to such assignment, (1) such assignee shall, on or before the
effective date of such assignment, deliver to Landlord as additional security to
be held in accordance with Article 6 hereunder, a letter of credit in favor of
Landlord, in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, in an amount equal to the
product of (x) $1,000,000 multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the difference between such assignees' then tangible net worth (proof of
which reasonably satisfactory to Landlord having been delivered to Landlord at
least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such assignment) and
$250,000,000 and the denominator of which is $10,000,000 (but in no event in
excess of $25,000,000) and (2) the amount of the security then held by Landlord
in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of this Lease shall be equal to
(i) $7,500,000 if the assignment occurs between the fifth (5th) anniversary of
the Commencement Date and the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Commencement Date
or (ii) $5,000,000 if the assignment occurs between the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the

<PAGE>

Commencement Date and the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the Commencement Date;
so that if the amount then held by Landlord under Article 6 of this Lease shall
have been reduced below the amounts set forth in clauses (i) or (ii),
respectively, under this Section 9.11(c)(C), the assignee shall immediately
deliver to Landlord, as a condition to such assignment, such additional amounts
(by letter of credit) to increase the security then held by Landlord to the
amount set forth in said clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, and the amounts
thereafter held by Landlord as security hereunder in accordance with the
provisions of Article 6, as increased pursuant to this Section 9.11(a)(C), shall
not be reduced below such increased amounts, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Sections 6.07-6.17 above or elsewhere in this Lease, but
the additional security required under clause (1) of this Section 9.11(a)(C) may
hereinafter be reduced by $1,000,000 or $2,000,000 per annum, as determined
pursuant to Section 6.15 above, subject to the provisions of Section 6.17 above,
provided (a) this lease remains in full force and effect and (b) Tenant has not
been in default under this lease after notice and the expiration of the
applicable cure period more than twice in any such calendar year.

                  (D) if such assignment shall be effective prior to the fifth
(5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, then such assignee on the effective
date of such proposed assignment shall have a tangible net worth of at least
$150,000,000 and proof thereof, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord shall have
been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of
such assignment; provided that if such assignee has a tangible net worth of less
than $150,000,00 on the effective date of such assignment, then as a condition
to such assignment (1) such assignee shall, on or before the effective date of
such assignment, deliver to Landlord as additional security hereunder, a letter
of credit in favor of Landlord, in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, in an
amount equal to the product of (x) $1,000,000 multiplied by (y) a fraction of
the numerator of which is the difference between such assignees then tangible
net worth (proof of which reasonably satisfactory to Landlord having been
delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such
assignment) and $150,000,000 and the denominator of which is $10,000,000 (but in
no event in excess of $15,000,000) and, (2) the amount of the security then held
by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.01 below, as
increased pursuant to this Section 9.11(a)(D), shall not be reduced below the
amount set forth in said Section 6.01 (i.e., $9,250,000.00), notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Sections 6.07-6.17 above or elsewhere in
this Lease, but the additional security required under clause (1) of this
Section 9.11(a)(D) may hereinafter be reduced by $1,000,000 or $2,000,000 per
annum, as determined pursuant to Section 6.15 above, subject to the provisions
of Section 6.17 above, provided (a) this lease remains in full force and effect
and (b) Tenant has not been in default under this lease after notice and the
expiration of the applicable cure period more than twice in any such calendar
year.

                  (E) the avoidance of any obligations under this lease is not
the primary purpose of such assignment.

                                      40

<PAGE>

              For the purposes of this Subsection 9.11 (a) if the assignee does
not have the tangible net worth set forth herein for such assignment to occur
without the Landlord's consent and the Lease shall be guaranteed (in form
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) by an entity related to such assignee which
shall have the required tangible net worth then the assignee shall be deemed to
have met the net worth requirements for an assignment to occur without
Landlord's consent as set forth in this Subsection 9.11 (a).

              (b) Notwithstanding Section 9.01, without the consent of Landlord,
Tenant may assign this lease or sublet all or any part of the Demised Premises
to an Affiliate of Tenant; provided, that (i) Landlord shall receive a duplicate
original of such assignment or sublease from Tenant within 30 days after the
effective date thereof; and (ii) in the case of any such assignment, (A) the
avoidance of any obligations under this lease is not the primary purpose of such
assignment, and (B) the assignee assumes by written instrument all of Tenant's
obligations under this lease.

              (c) Notwithstanding Section 9.01, transfer of a controlling
interest in the stock, membership interests, partnership interests or any other
beneficial ownership interest of Tenant shall not be deemed an assignment or
transfer of this lease.

              (d) Notwithstanding Section 9.01, the transfer of stock,
membership interests, partnership interests or other beneficial ownership
interests in Tenant shall not constitute a transfer of this lease if such stock,
partnership or other interests are listed on a national securities exchange (as
defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or is traded in the
"over the counter" market with quotations reported by the National Association
of Securities Dealers.

              (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord's consent to the use of up to
5,000 rentable square feet in the aggregate as desk space in the Demised
Premises by one or more entities (each of which is hereinafter individually
called a "Relationship Entity") each of which is a regular client or provider of
service to Tenant. Permission to such Relationship Entity(ies) to use the
Demised Premises shall not create a tenancy or any other interest in the Demised
Premises except a license revocable by Tenant at will which shall cease and
expire in any event automatically without notice upon the expiration or
termination of the letting under the Lease and all acts, omissions and
operations of such Relationship Entities shall be deemed acts, omissions and
operations of the Tenant. Use of the Demised Premises pursuant thereto shall not
be deemed to entitle such Relationship Entities to rights or privileges which
Landlord has or may hereafter accord to lessees of space in the Building.

         9.12 The joint and several liability of Tenant and any immediate or
remote successor in interest to Tenant, and the due performance of the
obligations of this lease on Tenant's part to be performed or observed, shall
not be discharged, released, or impaired in any respect by any agreement or
stipulation made by Landlord extending the time of, or modifying any of the

                                      41

obligations of, this lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce
any of the obligations of this lease.

         9.13 The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the
doors of the Demised Premises, on the Building directory, if any, or otherwise,
shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this lease or in the Demised
Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord to any assignment
or transfer of this lease, to any sublease of the Demised Premises, or to the
use or occupancy thereof by others.

         9.14 Within fifteen (15) business days after request therefor, Landlord
shall execute and deliver a nondisturbance agreement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit G to any subtenants under approved subleases (except in connection
with subleases to Related Entities or entities controlling, controlled by or
under common control with Tenant) of one (1) full floor or more of space in the
Demised Premises, provided that:

              (a)  either (i) the fixed rent and additional rent and all
other amounts payable under any such sublease for each month of the term is at
least equal to the fixed rent and additional rent and all other amounts payable
under this lease with respect to the portion of the Demised Premises to be
sublet for each month of the applicable portion of the term or (ii) as a
condition to Landlord's agreeing not to disturb such tenancy, the subtenant
under such sublease agrees to pay, at the time of such attornment, fixed rent
and additional rent and all other amounts payable under such sublease at least
equal to the fixed rent and additional rent and all other amounts payable under
this lease with respect to the portion of the Demised Premises to be sublet for
the remainder of the term of such sublease;

              (b) the sublessee attorns to Landlord upon all the terms and
conditions set forth in such sublease, subject to the provisions of sub-section
9.14(a) above;

              (c) Landlord  shall be reimbursed for its reasonable out of
pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees, in connection therewith;

              (d) the  sublessee is not a Related  Entity or an entity
controlling,  controlled by or under common control with Tenant and has EBITDA
(as herein defined in Article 6) equal to at least seven (7) times the aggregate
annual fixed rent and Recurring Additional Rent payable under this lease if the
sublease is for the entire Demised Premises, or such proportionately lower gross
revenues in the event the area to be sublet is less than the entire Demised
Premises, for the year immediately preceding the year in which the
non-disturbance agreement is executed, reasonably adequate proof of which (which
must consist of certified financial statements) shall be furnished to Landlord,
and

              (e) has an original term of five (5) years or more.

                                      42

         Such non-disturbance agreement shall provide that Landlord shall not
(i) be liable for any act or omission of or default by Tenant or any prior
sublandlord under such sublease, except to the extent that such act, omission or

as a result of any acts or omissions of Tenant or any prior sublandlord (except
to the extent that (1) same are expressly set forth in the sublease, (2) the
terms of such sublease conform to a fair market sublease transaction at the
time, and (3) the fixed rent, additional rent and all other charges per rentable
square foot payable to Landlord each month of the term by the subtenant (after

of such sublease and do not materially affect the rights of Tenant or Landlord
shall not be deemed amendments or modifications for purposes of the foregoing);

or performance of any of the monetary or non-monetary covenants of the sublease
on the part of such sublessee to be observed or performed beyond the applicable

              (2) any such sublessee shall have furnished to Landlord a
statement, in writing, as to the above circumstance within thirty (30) days
after Landlord shall have made written demand for such statement.

         9.15 If Landlord shall exercise any of its options pursuant to Section

Space, provided that such Recapture Payment shall never exceed with respect to
any Take Back Space an amount per annum equal to (i) $3.00 multiplied by (ii)

Section 9.15 Recapture Profits shall mean for each year of the term of a new
lease the amount by which (i) the amount of rent, and additional rent paid to
Landlord under a new lease shall exceed the amount which would have been payable
as fixed annual rent and additional rent for the Take Back Space by Tenant to

         10.01 (a) Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any notice it
receives of the violation of any law or requirement of public authority, and
Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all laws and/or requirements of public
authorities which shall, with respect to the Demised Premises or the use and
occupation thereof, or the abatement of any nuisance, impose any violation,
order or duty on Landlord or Tenant, arising from (i) the manner of conduct of
Tenant's business or operation of its installations, equipment or other property
in the Demised Premises (as opposed to the mere use of the Demised Premises for
the purposes permitted by this lease), (ii) any cause or condition created by or
at the instance of Tenant, other than by Landlord's performance of any work

                                      44

<PAGE>

for or on behalf of Tenant, or (iii) breach of any of Tenant's obligations
hereunder. Furthermore, Tenant need not comply with any such law or requirement
of public authority so long as Tenant shall be contesting the validity thereof,
or the applicability thereof to the Demised Premises, in accordance with Section
10.02. Landlord, at its expense, shall comply with all other such laws and
requirements of public authorities as shall affect the Demised Premises, but may
similarly contest the same subject to conditions reciprocal to Subsections (a),
(b) and (d) of Section 10.02.

              (b) If, at any time during the term of this lease, asbestos or
asbestos-containing material which Landlord was expressly required to remove
pursuant to this lease is found to exist in any portion of the Demised Premises
(unless Tenant introduced same), Landlord, at its own expense, will cause it to
be removed, encapsulated or otherwise treated in accordance with applicable laws
and regulations. If Landlord causes any such work to be performed, Landlord, at
its expense, shall timely, and with minimum inconvenience to Tenant, repair and
restore any damage thereby caused.

         10.02 Tenant may, at its expense (and if necessary, in the name of but
without expense to Landlord) contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted
diligently and in good faith, the validity, or applicability to the Demised
Premises, of any law or requirement of public authority, and Landlord shall
cooperate with Tenant in such proceedings, provided that:

              (a) Landlord shall not be subject to criminal penalty or to
prosecution for a crime nor shall the Demised Premises or any part thereof be
subject to being condemned or vacated, by reason of non-compliance or otherwise
by reason of such contest;

              (b) Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord
against all liability, loss or damage which Landlord shall suffer by reason of
such non-compliance or contest, including reasonable attorney's fees and other
expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord;

              (c) such non-compliance or contest shall not constitute or result
in any violation of any superior lease or superior mortgage, or if such superior
lease and/or superior mortgage shall permit such non-compliance or contest on
condition of the taking of action or furnishing of security by Landlord, such
action shall be taken and such security shall be furnished at the expense of
Tenant; and

              (d) Tenant shall keep Landlord advised as to the status of such
proceedings.

Without limiting the application of Subsection (a) above thereto, Landlord shall

Subsection, if Landlord, or any officer of Landlord individually, is charged
with a crime of any kind or degree whatever, whether by service of a summons or
otherwise, unless such charge is withdrawn before Landlord or such officer (as
the case may be) is required to plead or answer thereto.

         10.03 Tenant shall not knowingly cause or permit "Hazardous Materials"
(as defined below) to be used, transported, stored, released, handled, produced
or installed in, on or from the Demised Premises or the Building except that

in the ordinary operation and maintenance of office equipment, provided such
substances are used and stored within the Demised Premises, in accordance with
all applicable laws and/or requirements of public authorities. The term
"Hazardous Materials" shall, for the purposes hereof, mean any flammable,
explosive or radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous and toxic
substances or related materials, asbestos or any material containing asbestos,
or any other substance or material, as now or hereafter defined as a hazardous
material or a hazardous substance by any federal, state or local law, ordinance,
rule or regulation, now or at any time hereafter in effect, including, without
limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended,
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, and in the regulations
adopted and publications promulgated pursuant to each of the foregoing. In the
event of a breach of the provisions of this Section 10.03(a), Landlord shall, in
addition to all of its rights and remedies under this lease and pursuant to law,
require Tenant to remove any or all of such Hazardous Materials from the Demised
Premises or the Building in the manner prescribed for such removal by all
requirements of law. The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration
or sooner termination of this lease.

         10.04 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
lease, Tenant agrees that it shall be solely responsible, at its expense, to
cause the Demised Premises to be, and to remain throughout the term hereof, in
compliance with the provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990
and any municipal laws, ordinances and rules of like import, and any regulations
adopted and amendments promulgated pursuant to any of the foregoing (hereinafter
referred to collectively as the "ADA"). Landlord shall have no obligation
whatsoever in connection therewith. Within ten (10) days after receipt, Tenant
shall advise Landlord in writing, and provide Landlord with copies of, any
notices alleging violations of the ADA relating to any portion of the Demised
Premises; any claims made or threatened in writing regarding non-compliance with
the ADA and relating to any portion of the Demised Premises; or any governmental
or regulatory actions or investigations instituted or threatened regarding
non-compliance with the ADA and relating to any portion of the Demised Premises.
In addition, without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance, no
portion of the Demised Premises shall be used in any manner, and no Changes
shall be performed, if such manner of use or such Changes requires that any
alterations, changes, additions, improvements or other work be performed or made
to any portions of the Building or the land outside the Demised Premises, which
consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion. If
Landlord gives its consent for such manner of use or Changes, then, Landlord, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall perform or make such alterations, changes,
additions, improvements or other work, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
additional rent the reasonable out-of-pocket cost and expense incurred or paid
by Landlord to perform or make same, within thirty (30) days after Landlord's
demand therefor, which demand shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed

                                      46

<PAGE>

statement of the alterations, changes, additions, improvements or other work so
performed or made and the cost and expense incurred or paid by Landlord.

              (b) In the event that the Building entrances, Building lobby, or
other common areas of the Building shall be in violation of the ADA and Landlord
shall have received a judicial determination not subject to appeal of such
violation and as a result thereof handicapped persons shall have no reasonable
means of access to the Demised Premises, Landlord shall at Landlord's cost and
expense cure such condition.

         10.05 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease,
Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to (a) install the Class E fire
safety system within the Demised Premises (the "Class E System"), (b) connect
same to the Building's Class E fire safety system at a single point of
connection provided by Landlord within three (3) floors of the Demised Premises,
and (c) thereafter maintain the Class E System within the Demised Premises in
compliance with all laws or requirements of public authorities. Landlord shall
have no obligation whatsoever in connection with any Tenant caused Class E
compliance or otherwise in connection with the Class E System within the Demised
Premises.

of this Article 10 shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Article
34 below.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                                    Insurance

         11.01 Tenant shall not violate, or permit the violation of, any
condition imposed by the standard fire insurance policy then issued for office
buildings in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and shall not do,
permit anything to be done, keep, or permit anything to be kept, in the Demised
Premises which would (i) subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for
personal injury, death or property damage; (ii) increase the fire or other
casualty insurance rate on the Building or the property therein over the rate
which would otherwise then be in effect (unless Tenant pays the resulting
premium as provided in Section 11.04); or (iii) result in insurance companies of
good standing refusing to insure the Building or any of such property in amounts
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord represents to Tenant that the use
and occupancy of the Demised Premises for general, executive and sales office
shall not cause an increase in any current insurance rates or premiums for which
Tenant is responsible.

         11.02 Tenant covenants to provide on or before the earlier to occur of
(i) the Commencement Date and (ii) ten (10) days from the date of this lease and
to keep in force during the term hereof the following insurance coverage which
coverage shall be effective on the Commencement Date:

                                      47

Landlord's managing agent (the "Agent") and Landlord's designee (collectively,
the "Present Additional Insureds"), the holders of all superior mortgages, the
lessors under all superior leases, Landlord's agents and all other persons and
entities reasonably designated by Landlord (but only to the extent that Landlord
specifically requests such holders, lessors, agents and other persons and
entities so named) and protecting such parties and Tenant against any liability
whatsoever occasioned by accident on or about the Demised Premises or any
appurtenances thereto. Such policy shall have limits of liability of not less
than Five Million ($5,000,000.00) Dollars combined single limit coverage on a
per occurrence basis, including property damage. Such policy shall contain a
contractual liability coverage endorsement with respect to Tenant's
indemnification obligations under this lease. Such insurance may be carried
under a blanket policy covering the Demised Premises and other locations of
Tenant, if any; provided such policy contains a per location aggregate limit
endorsement;

              (b) Worker's compensation insurance with statutory limits in favor
of Landlord, Fee Owner and Agent.

              (c) Fire and extended coverage in an amount adequate to cover the
cost of replacement of all personal property, fixtures, furnishings, valuable
papers and documents, data, leasehold improvements and equipment, including
Tenant's Work and Tenant's Changes located in the Demised Premises. The
provisions of the last sentence of Section 11.02(a) shall apply with respect to
such fire and extended insurance coverage.

All such policies shall be issued by companies of recognized responsibility
licensed to do business in New York State and rated by Best's Insurance Reports
or any successor publication of comparable standing and carrying a rating of A-
VIII or better or the then equivalent of such rating, and all such policies
shall contain a provision whereby the same cannot be cancelled or modified
unless Landlord and any additional insureds are given at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice of such cancellation or modification.

              Prior to the time such insurance is first required to be carried
by Tenant and thereafter, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of
any such policies, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either duplicate originals
of the aforesaid policies or certificates evidencing such insurance including a
certified copy of the endorsement naming Landlord as an additional insured,
together with evidence of payment for the policy. Such certificates shall also
verify the primary nature of the coverage and note the waiver of subrogation in
favor of Landlord, Fee Owner and Agent. If Tenant delivers certificates as
aforesaid, Tenant upon reasonable prior notice from Landlord, shall make
available to Landlord, at the Demised Premises, duplicate originals of such
policies from which Landlord may make copies thereof, at Landlord's cost.
Tenant's failure to provide and keep in force the aforementioned insurance shall
be regarded as a material default hereunder, entitling Landlord to exercise any
or all of the remedies as provided in this lease in the

                                      48

<PAGE>

event of Tenant's default. In addition in the event Tenant fails to provide and
keep in force the insurance required by this lease, at the times and for the
durations specified in this lease. Landlord shall have the right, but not the
obligation, at any time and from time to time, and without notice, to procure
such insurance and or pay the premiums for such insurance in which event Tenant
shall repay Landlord within five (5) days after demand by Landlord, as
additional rent. all sums so paid by Landlord and any costs or expenses incurred
by Landlord in connection therewith without prejudice to any other rights and
remedies of Landlord under this lease.

         11.03 Landlord and Tenant shall each secure an appropriate clause in,
or an endorsement upon, each property fire or extended coverage policy obtained
by it and covering the Demised Premises, Tenant's Work and Tenant's Changes (as
hereinafter defined) or the personal property, fixtures, furnishings, valuable
papers and documents, data, leasehold improvements and equipment located therein
or thereon, pursuant to which the respective insurance companies waive
subrogation or permit the insured, prior to any loss, to agree with a third
party to waive any claim it might have against said third party. The waiver of
subrogation or permission for waiver of any claim hereinbefore referred to shall
extend to the agents of each party and its employees. If and to the extent that
such waiver or permission can be obtained only upon payment of an additional
charge then, the party benefitting from the waiver or permission shall pay such
charge upon demand, or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party obtaining
the insurance coverage in question shall be free of any further obligations
under the provisions hereof relating to such waiver or permission. Tenant shall
provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance verifying this waiver in favor
of Landlord, Fee Owner and Agent and their respective employees and agents, and,
in consideration therefor, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a certificate of
insurance verifying this waiver in favor of Tenant, and its employees and
agents.

         Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.03, and insofar
as may be permitted by the terms of the insurance policies carried by it, each
party and their respective employees and agents hereby releases the other with
respect to any claim (including a claim for negligence) which it might otherwise
have against the other party for loss, damages or destruction with respect to
its property by fire or other casualty (including rental value or business
interruption, as the case may be) occurring during the term of this lease or
during the move into and out of the Demised Premises.

         11.04 If, by reason of a failure of Tenant to comply with the
provisions of Section 10.01 or Section 11.01, the rate of fire insurance with
extended coverage on the Building or equipment or other property of Landlord
shall be higher than it otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord,
within thirty (30) days after demand, for that part of the premiums for fire
insurance and extended coverage paid by Landlord because of such failure on the
part of Tenant.

         11.05 Landlord may, from time to time, require that the amount of the
insurance to be provided and maintained by Tenant under Section 11.02 hereof be
increased so that the amount thereof adequately protects Landlord's interest but
in no event in excess of the amount that would

                                      49

<PAGE>

be required by other tenants occupying similarly sized space in first-class
office buildings in the borough of Manhattan for office use.

         11.06 If any dispute shall arise between Landlord and Tenant with
respect to the incurring or the amount of any additional insurance premium
referred to in Section 11.03 or the increase in amount of insurance referred to
in Section 11.05, the dispute shall be determined by arbitration.

         11.07 A schedule or makeup of rates for the Building or the Demised
Premises, as the case may be, issued by the New York Fire Insurance Rating
Organization or other similar body making rates for fire insurance and extended
coverage for the premises concerned, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts
therein stated and of the several items and charges in the fire insurance rate
with extended coverage then applicable to such premises.

         11.08 Each policy evidencing the insurance to be carried by Tenant
under this lease shall contain a clause if available from an insurance company
meeting the standards to the effect that such policy and the coverage evidenced
thereby shall be primary with respect to any policies carried by Landlord, and
that any coverage carried by Landlord shall be excess insurance.

         11.09 Landlord shall from and after the date of this lease through the
last day of the term hereof, procure and maintain (or cause to be procured or
maintained) fire and extended coverage insurance, in good and solvent insurance
companies authorized to do business in the State of New York, on the Building
(exclusive of foundations and footings) in an amount equal to the full
replacement value thereof. As required by the terms of any existing ground lease
or first mortgage affecting the Building. Such insurance may be carried under a
blanket policy covering the Building and any other buildings or other properties
of Landlord, provided that the required amount of coverage is expressly reserved
and allocated to the Building, and may contain commercially reasonable
deductibles. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.09 to the
contrary, if at any time an "institutional lender" (as such term is hereinafter
defined) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this lease whether
through sale, exchange, lease, possession, foreclosure action, deed in lieu
thereof, or otherwise, the obligations of Landlord set forth in this Section
11.09 shall not apply to such institutional lender. For the purposes of this
Section 11.09, an "institutional lender" shall mean any bank, savings and loan
association, trust company, insurance company, pension fund or similar
institutional lender, which in the ordinary course of its business, owns or
operates first-class office buildings and, in connection with such ownership or
operation, is self-insured with respect to fire and extended coverage and which
has a "Standard & Poor's" or "Moody's" (or any successor rating service or
substitute rating service (if either of the "Standard & Poor's" and "Moody's"
services are not then available)) "claims paying ability rating" or "debt
rating" of AA or Aa (or better) or a "Best's Insurance" (or any successor rating
service or substitute rating service, if "Best's insurance" is not then
available) rating of A (or better). If the rating scales of any of such rating
services (or their successors or substitutes) are changed, then the required
rating shall be that rating which is most nearly comparable to the current
rating of "AA" (for Standard & Poor's), "Aa" (for Moody's) or "A" (for Best's
Insurance).

                              Rules And Regulations

         12.01 Tenant and its employees and agents shall faithfully observe and
comply in all material respects with the Rules and Regulations annexed hereto as
Exhibit C, and such reasonable changes therein (whether by modification,
elimination or addition) as Landlord at any time or times hereafter may make and
communicate in writing to Tenant, which do not unreasonably affect the conduct
of Tenant's business in the Demised Premises except as required by any
governmental law, rule, regulation, ordinance or similar decree; provided, that
Landlord shall not enforce any such new rules or regulation against Tenant
unless and until Tenant receives thirty (30) days prior notice thereof (and if
Tenant has disputed in good faith the reasonableness thereof by arbitration,
Landlord shall not enforce such rule against Tenant pending the resolution of
such dispute). Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not adopt any new rules or
regulations affecting only Tenant, or enforce any of the Rules and Regulations
against Tenant which Landlord shall not then be generally enforcing against
other office tenants or occupants of the Building.

         12.02 Nothing in this lease contained shall be construed to impose upon
Landlord any duty or obligation to Tenant to enforce the Rules and Regulations
or the terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease, as against any other
tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by
any other tenant or its employees, agents or visitors; provided, that if
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises is adversely affected in any
material respect by any violation of the rules and regulations by one or more
tenants in the Building, then Landlord shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to promptly enforce such rules and regulations against such other tenant
or tenants, as applicable (but shall not be required to commence litigation to
enforce same). In the case of any conflict between the provisions of this lease
and any such rules or regulations, the provisions of this lease shall control.
Landlord shall not enforce any of the Rules and Regulations in such manner as to
discriminate against Tenant or anyone claiming under or through Tenant.

performed in accordance with, and subject to, this Article and all other
applicable provisions of this lease, and (ii) at least ten (10) days prior to
commencing any such Decorative Change or Permitted Nonstructural Change, Tenant
gives to Landlord a notice of Tenant's intention to perform such Decorative
Change(s) or Permitted Nonstructural Change(s), which notice, to be effective,
shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed description of the Decorative
Change(s) or Permitted Nonstructural Change(s) that Tenant intends to perform,

only be performed in accordance with and subject to, this Article and the other
applicable provisions of this lease. Provided the structural integrity of the

affected and subject to Tenant's obligation to remove Specialty Installations
(as hereinafter defined) as provided for in Section 14.05 hereof, Tenant shall
have the right to install and maintain, throughout the term of this lease,
interconnecting stairways between the floors of the Demised Premises, executive
toilets (up to a maximum of one on each floor of the Demised Premises), and such
computer rooms, libraries, high density file rooms, communications equipment,
food preparation facilities and other facilities as shall be reasonably required
by Tenant in the conduct of its business in the Demised Premises.

         13.05 Before commencing any Change (except for Decorative Changes and
Permitted Nonstructural Changes), Tenant shall advise Landlord thereof and shall
submit to Landlord proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of the total cost
thereof (including so-called "soft costs"), and at its sole cost and expense,
shall prepare and submit to Landlord for Landlord's approval, reasonably
detailed plans and specifications therefor, which Landlord shall review within
twelve (12) business

                                      52

<PAGE>

days of receipt thereof (such reasonably detailed plans and specifications being
herein referred to as "Tenant's Plans"), and which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed for any Nonstructural Changes described
therein, and which approval shall be deemed to have been given if not denied by
Landlord in writing within twelve (12) business days after submission of said
Tenant's Plans, and within seven (7) business days in the case of resubmissions.
The out-of-pocket cost and expense reasonably incurred and/or paid by Landlord
in connection with the review of the Tenant's Plans (and all revisions thereto),
and the inspection of the work in respect thereof, by Landlord and Landlord's
architects, engineers and other consultants and professionals shall be
reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord (as additional rent) within thirty (30) days
after Landlord's demand therefor, Tenant hereby agreeing that neither Landlord's
approval of the Tenant's Plans (or any revisions thereto), nor its inspection of
such work, nor its right to inspect such work, shall impose upon Landlord any
obligation or liability whatsoever with respect thereto, including, without
limitation, any obligation or liability that might arise as a result of such
work not being performed in accordance with applicable laws and requirements or
with the Tenant's Plans (and revisions thereto) approved by Landlord or
otherwise. The review or approval by Landlord of any of Tenant's Plans or any
revisions thereto is solely for Landlord's benefit, and is without any
representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to the adequacy, correctness
or efficiency thereof or otherwise. Neither the granting by Landlord of its
approval of any Tenant's Plans or any revisions thereto, nor Landlord's
execution of any of the applications referred to in Section 13.06 below, shall
in any manner constitute or be deemed to constitute a judgment or acknowledgment
by Landlord as to their legality or compliance with laws and/or public
authorities. Landlord shall respond to Tenant's request to approve Tenant's
Plans within seven (7) business days after Landlord receives such revisions.
Landlord's approval to any Tenant's Plans or revisions thereto shall not be
effective unless the same is in writing, or is otherwise deemed to be given
pursuant to the terms of this lease. Nothing contained in this Section 13.05
shall be deemed to modify the time frames expressly provided with respect to the
Initial Plan elsewhere under this lease.

Tenant shall not use, employ or retain any contractor, construction manager or
mechanic, or permit the use, employment or retention of any subcontractor, that
has not been first approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Landlord fails to grant said
approval within seven (7) business days, Tenant shall send to Landlord an
Additional Notice (as hereinafter defined) which shall state that unless
Landlord responds to the request for approval within three (3) business days
after receipt of the Additional Notice, Landlord's approval shall be deemed
granted and, in the event Landlord fails to respond to such Additional Notice
within three (3) business days of receipt thereof, Landlord will be deemed to
have granted its consent. Without limiting Landlord's obligations under this
clause not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of Tenant's
general contractor(s), construction manager(s) and subcontractors/trade
contractors, Landlord hereby approves, for use by Tenant for the performance of
Tenant's Work, the contractors, construction managers, mechanics and
subcontractors/trade contractors set forth on Exhibit I attached hereto and made
a part hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for all Changes (including all
Tenant's Work) involving the tying in of any Tenant Changes into the Class E
System

                                      53

<PAGE>

(or other fire and life safety equipment or systems), Tenant shall use the
contractor or subcontractor designated by Landlord, provided that its prices
shall be competitive for comparable work in comparable buildings in midtown
Manhattan and with bids from other subcontractors obtained by Tenant.

         13.06 Before commencing any Change or Installation (as such term is
defined in Section 42.04 below), Tenant shall, at its expense, obtain all
permits, notices, approvals and certificates required by all governmental and
quasi-governmental authorities for the commencement and prosecution of such
Changes, and, upon completion, for the final approval of such Changes, and shall
cause Tenant's Changes to be performed in compliance therewith, as well as with
all applicable laws and requirements of public authorities and all applicable
requirements of insurance bodies, in a good and workmanlike manner. Upon
Tenant's request and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, Landlord shall join in
the application for any licenses, permits, approvals and authorizations whenever
such action is necessary, including, without limitation, any special permits,
public assembly permits or changes to the Building's certificate of occupancy,
and shall sign any such applications within five (5) business days after request
by Tenant (whether or not Landlord shall have theretofore approved the Change in
question, but the performance by Tenant of any Change requiring Landlord's
approval shall remain subject to obtaining such approval). Landlord shall file
with the Department of Buildings all such applications and other documents as
are required to be filed with the Department of Buildings by the property owner.
Duplicates of all such permits, notices, approvals and certificates shall be
delivered to Landlord before commencing such Changes, and upon the completion
thereof, as the case may be. Changes shall be performed in such a manner as not
to unreasonably interfere with or delay, and (unless Tenant shall indemnify
Landlord therefor to the Landlord's reasonable satisfaction) as not to impose
any additional expense upon Landlord in, the maintenance or operation of the
Building. Throughout the performance of all Changes, Tenant shall, at its
expense, carry, or cause to be carried, worker's compensation insurance in
statutory limits and general liability insurance and personal and property
damage insurance for any occurrence in or about the Building as set forth in
Article 11 of this lease. All such insurance policies shall name Landlord, Fee
Owner and Agent and their respective agents, as an additional insureds, be in
such limits as Landlord may reasonably prescribe and be placed with insurers
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
satisfactory evidence that such insurance is in effect before the commencement
of any Changes and, on request, at reasonable intervals thereafter during the
continuance of the Changes.

         13.07 Tenant shall, at its expense and with diligence and dispatch,
procure the cancellation or discharge, by bonding or otherwise, of all notices
of violation arising from, or otherwise connected with, the Changes that shall
be issued by the Department of Buildings or any other public or quasi-public
authority having or asserting jurisdiction. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and
save Landlord harmless from and against all mechanic's and other liens filed in
connection with the Changes or for any other work claimed to have been done for,
or materials furnished to, Tenant, whether or not done or furnished pursuant to
this Paragraph, including, without limitation, the liens

                                      54

<PAGE>

of any security interest in, conditional sales of, or chattel mortgages upon,
any materials, fixtures or articles so installed in and constituting part of the
Demised Premises (and with respect to the Installation, installed in and
constituting part of the Building), and against all costs, expenses and
liabilities incurred or paid in connection with any such lien, security
interest, conditional sale, or chattel mortgage or any action or proceeding
brought thereon. Tenant, at its expense, shall satisfy or discharge all such
liens, by bonding or otherwise, and remove same from the record, within thirty
(30) days after Landlord makes written demand therefor.

         13.08 No Change shall be done in a manner that would: (i) create any
work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption, or dispute; (ii) violate Landlord's
union contracts affecting the land and/or Building; or (iii) interfere with the
business of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the Building. In the event of
the occurrence of any condition described above arising from Tenant's exercise
of any of its rights pursuant to the provisions of this Article, Tenant shall,
immediately upon notice from Landlord, cease the manner of exercise of such
right giving rise to such condition. In the event that Tenant fails to cease
such manner of exercise of its rights as aforesaid, Landlord, in addition to any
rights available to it under this lease, at law or equity, and shall have the
right to injunction without notice.

         13.09. If any violations of law in the Building outside the Demised
Premises shall delay (or prevent) Tenant from obtaining any governmental
permits, consents, approvals or other documentation required by Tenant for (A)
the performance of Tenant's Work or (B) the lawful occupancy of any portion of
the Demised Premises upon completion of Tenant's Work therein (it being
understood that the imposition of conditions requiring the cure of any
Landlord's Violation by a governmental authority as a condition precedent to
obtaining any such governmental permits, consents, approvals or other
documentation which shall so delay Tenant from obtaining any governmental
permits, consents, approvals or other documentation shall be deemed such a
prevention or delay), then, upon the giving of notice by Tenant to Landlord of
such prevention or delay and of the applicable Landlord's Violations Landlord
shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion the
cure and removal of record of such Landlord's Violations (it being agreed that
such obligation of Landlord to diligently prosecute shall include, without
limitation, the retention of a filing architect or other professional to
expedite such cure and removal).

         13.10. Any disputes regarding the provisions of this Article 13 shall
be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 34
below.

                                   ARTICLE 14

                                Tenant's Property

         14.01 All fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances attached
to or built into the Demised Premises at the commencement of or during the term
of this lease, whether or not by or at the expense of Tenant, shall be and
remain a part of the Demised Premises, shall be deemed the

                                      55

<PAGE>

property of Landlord and shall not be removed by Tenant, except as hereinafter
in this Article expressly provided.

         14.02 All paneling, movable partitions, lighting fixtures, special
cabinet work, other business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment,
communications equipment and office equipment, whether or not attached to or
built into the Demised Premises, which are installed in the Demised Premises by
or for the account of Tenant, without expense to Landlord, and can be removed
without permanent damage to the Building, and all furniture, furnishings and
other articles of movable personal property owned by Tenant and located in the
Demised Premises, (all of which are sometimes referred to as "Tenant's
Property") shall be and shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed
by it at any time during the term of this lease; provided that if any of
Tenant's Property is removed, Tenant or any party or person entitled to remove
same shall repair or pay the cost of repairing any damage to the Demised
Premises or to the Building resulting from such removal.

         14.03 At or before the Expiration Date, or the date of any earlier
termination of this lease, or as promptly as practicable after such an earlier
termination date, Tenant at its expense, shall remove from the Demised Premises
all of Tenant's Property except such items thereof as Tenant shall have
expressly agreed in writing with Landlord were to remain and to become the
property of Landlord, and shall fully repair any damage to the Demised Premises
or the Building resulting from such removal. Tenant's obligation herein shall
survive the termination of the lease.

         14.04 Any other items of Tenant's Property (except money, securities
and other like valuables) which shall remain in the Demised Premises after the
Expiration Date or after a period of fifteen (15) days following an earlier
termination date, may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been
abandoned, and in such case either may be retained by Landlord as its property
or may be disposed of, without accountability, at Tenant's expense in such
manner as Landlord may see fit.

         14.05 (a) For purposes of this lease, "Specialty Installation(s)" shall
mean installations consisting of vaults, internal staircases and slab
penetration, dumbwaiters, vertical (between floors of the Demised Premises)
transportation systems, and other installations made by or at the direction of
Tenant which penetrate the slabs between the floors of the Demised Premises.
Upon the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this lease, Tenant shall, at
its sole cost and expense, remove all Specialty Installation(s) from the Demised
Premises and restore all slab and wall penetrations to the condition that
existed prior to such penetrations (such removal and repair work being
hereinafter referred to as the "Restoration Work") except that prior to
commencing such Restoration Work, Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof and, if
Landlord shall advise Tenant, within five (5) days of receipt of such notice,
that it wishes any Specialty Installations to remain, Tenant shall not perform
Restoration Work with respect to that particular Specialty Installation.

                                      56

<PAGE>

              (b) Tenant's obligation and liability with respect to the removal
of Specialty Installation(s) and the performance of the Restoration Work shall
survive the Expiration Date or sooner expiration or termination of this lease.

                           Repairs And Maintenance

         15.01 Subject to the provisions of Article 22 below, Tenant shall take
good care of the Demised Premises, and shall promptly, at its sole cost and
expense, make all nonstructural repairs to the Demised Premises and the
fixtures, equipment and appurtenances therein, including all Building systems
and equipment therein that have been installed or modified in any way by or on
behalf of Tenant, as and when needed to preserve the Demised Premises (and all
such fixtures, equipment and appurtenances) in good working order and condition,
except for reasonable wear and tear, unless such repair is required as a result
of any act or omission of Landlord, its principals, officers, agents,
contractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees. In addition, subject to
the provisions of Article 22 and Section 10.03(b), Tenant, at its expense, shall
promptly make all repairs, ordinary or extraordinary, interior or exterior,
structural or otherwise, in and about the Demised Premises and the Building, as
shall be required by reason of (i) the performance or existence of Tenant's Work
or Tenant's Changes, (ii) the installation, use or operation of Tenant's
Property in the Demised Premises, (iii) the moving of Tenant's Property in or
out of the Building, or (iv) the misuse or neglect of Tenant or any of its
employees, agents or contractors; but Tenant shall not be responsible for any of
such repairs as are required by reason of Landlord's act or omission in the
manner of performing any of Tenant's Work or Tenant's Changes which may be
undertaken by Landlord for Tenant's account or are otherwise required by reason
of neglect or other fault of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors.
Except if required by the act or omission of Landlord or its employees, agents
or contractors, Tenant, at its expense, shall replace all scratched, damaged or
broken doors or other glass in or about the Demised Premises and shall be
responsible for all repairs, maintenance and replacement of wall and floor
coverings in the Demised Premises and, for the repair and maintenance of all
lighting fixtures therein. All repairs, except for emergency repairs, made by
Tenant as provided herein shall be performed by contractors or subcontractors
approved in writing by Landlord prior to commencement of such repairs, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall be deemed
granted if not denied within seven (7) business days after request, stating the
grounds therefor in reasonable detail; provided that if Landlord fails to
respond to Tenant within seven (7) business days with respect to a request for
approval of a contractor or subcontractor, Tenant shall send to Landlord a
notice (hereinafter referred to as the "Additional Notice") which shall state
that unless Landlord responds to the request for approval of such contractor or
subcontractor within three (3) business days after receipt of the Additional
Notice, Landlord's approval of such contractor or subcontractor shall be deemed
granted and, in the event Landlord fails to respond to such Additional Notice
within three (3) business days of receipt thereof, Landlord will be deemed to
have approved such contractor or subcontractor.

<PAGE>

Nothing contained in this Section 15.01 shall be deemed to modify the time
frames expressly provided elsewhere under this lease with respect to the Initial
Plan.

         15.02 Landlord, at its expense, shall keep and maintain the Building
and its fixtures, appurtenances, systems and facilities serving the Demised
Premises, in good working order, condition and repair and shall make all
repairs, structural and otherwise, interior and exterior, as and when needed in
or about the Demised Premises, except for those repairs for which Tenant is
responsible pursuant to any other provisions of this lease or which do not
adversely affect the Demised Premises, access to the Demised Premises or
portions of the Building Systems serving the Demised Premises..

         15.03 Except as expressly otherwise provided in this lease, Landlord
shall have no liability to Tenant by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance,
interruption or injury to business arising from Landlord, Tenant or others
making or failing to make any repairs or changes which, with respect to
Landlord, Landlord is required or permitted by this lease, or required by law to
make, in or to any portion of the Building or the Demised Premises, or in or to
the fixtures, equipment or appurtenances of the Building or the Demised
Premises, provided that Landlord shall use due diligence in making any repairs
and shall perform such repair work, except in case of emergency, at times
reasonably convenient to Tenant and otherwise in such manner as will not
materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Demised Premises or access
thereto; provided, however, that, except as specified below, Landlord shall have
no obligation to employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other
premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or expenses whatsoever,
except that Landlord, at its expense shall employ contractors or labor at
so-called overtime or other premium pay rates if necessary to make any repair
required to be made by it hereunder to remedy any condition that (i) results in
a denial of access to the Demised Premises, (ii) immediately threatens the
health or safety of any occupant of the Demised Premises, or (iii) except in the
case of casualty, materially interferes with Tenant's ability to conduct its
business in the Demised Premises. In all other cases, at Tenant's request and
expense, Landlord shall employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or
other premium pay rates and incur any other overtime costs or expenses in making
any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, provided that if more than
one tenant requests such overtime work, the overtime costs therefore shall be
shared pro-rata among such tenants.

                                  ARTICLE 16

                                 Electricity

         16.01 (a) Landlord represents and warrants that the Building is
equipped with risers, feeders and wiring to furnish electric service to the
Demised Premises with a capacity of not less than eight (8) watts per rentable
square foot of connected load (with an eighty (80%) percent diversity factor),
exclusive of the ventilating and air conditioning system in the Demised
Premises, provided, however, such electrical energy shall be terminated at a
disconnect switch or switches to be located in areas within the demised premises
designated by Landlord. Landlord shall advise Tenant of the location of such
disconnect switches on each floor on or before April 1, 2000. Subject

                                      58

<PAGE>

to Article 15 and Section 16.10 hereof, and continuity of electric service from
the utility providing the same, Landlord covenants to provide such electrical
capacity (the "Electrical Capacity") from the date Tenant occupies the Demised
Premises for the conduct of its business and throughout the term of this lease.
During the period in which Tenant is performing Tenant's Work, Landlord shall
provide sufficient electric service for the performance of same. Landlord shall
reasonably promptly after the Commencement Date install at Tenant's expense a
meter or meters that measure the quantity and peak demand to determine Usage (as
defined in Section 16.02(a)) solely to the Demised Premises. Where more than one
meter measures the amount of Usage, then the Usage registered by each meter
shall be aggregated and billed at the applicable rate as if there were only one
sub-meter measuring Tenant's aggregate Usage in the entire Demised Premises. In
addition to the eight (8) watts of electricity otherwise provided herein by
Landlord) Landlord shall provide sufficient electricity to power the Units.
Tenant shall pay $1.50 per rentable square foot during the initial construction
period for electricity.

              (b) Any additional risers, feeders or other equipment or service
proper or necessary to supply Tenant's electrical requirements, will, upon
written request of Tenant, be installed by Landlord, at the sole cost and
expense of Tenant, provided that installation of the same is reasonably
practical without disruption to other tenants in the Building or their
electrical service.

         16.02 For purposes of Sections 16.02 and 16.03:

              (a) "Usage" shall mean Tenant's actual usage of electricity in the
Demised Premises as measured by the aforesaid meter(s) for each calendar month
or such other period as Landlord shall determine during the term of this lease
and shall include the quantity and peak demand (kilowatt hours and kilowatts)
and all applicable taxes, surcharges, demand charges, energy charges, fuel
adjustment charges, and other adjustments made from time to time by the public
utility company supplying electric current to the Building or any governmental
authority having jurisdiction;

              (b) "Landlord's Rate" shall mean Landlord's average cost per
kilowatt and average cost per kilowatt hour (including, in both cases, all
applicable taxes, surcharges, demand charges, energy charges, fuel adjustment
charges, time of day charges and other charges, adjustments and sums payable in
respect thereof) of purchasing electric current for the Building from the
company supplying electric current to the Building;

              (c) "Basic Cost" shall mean the product of (i) Usage multiplied by
(ii) Landlord's Rate.

              (d) "Tenant's Cost" shall mean an amount equal to the sum of (i)
the Basic Cost plus (ii) seven (7%) percent of the Basic Cost for Landlord's
overhead and expenses in connection with submetering.

                                      59

<PAGE>

         16.03 Landlord shall, from time to time but not more often than
monthly, furnish Tenant with an invoice indicating the period during which the
Usage was measured and the amount of Tenant's Cost payable by Tenant to Landlord
for such period. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of each such invoice,
Tenant shall pay the amount of Tenant's Cost set forth thereon to Landlord as
additional rent. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that invoices for Tenant's Usage
may be rendered to Tenant after Landlord's receipt and prior to Landlord paying
the corresponding utility company bill therefor.

         16.04 Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord has made no
representation or warranty as to whether or not the electrical service described
in subsections (a) and (c) above is or will be sufficient or adequate for
Tenant's electrical needs from time to time during the term of this lease. In
addition, Landlord shall not in any wise be liable or responsible to Tenant for
any loss, damage or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur if either the
quantity or character of electrical service is changed, is no longer available,
or is unsuitable for Tenant's requirements, unless caused by the act or omission
of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, or by reason of Landlord's
breach of its obligations under this lease.

         16.05 In no event shall Tenant use or install any fixtures, equipment
or machines the use of which in conjunction with other fixtures, equipment and
machines in the Demised Premises would result in an overload of the electrical
circuits servicing the Demised Premises.

         16.06 (a) Tenant covenants and agrees that, at all times, its use of
electric current shall never exceed the Electrical Capacity.

               (b) Tenant shall furnish, install and replace, as required, all
lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts required in the Demised Premises, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense. All lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts so
installed shall become Landlord's property upon the expiration or sooner
termination of this lease.

         16.07 In the event the meter(s) installed in the Demised Premises for
the measurement of electricity consumption in the Demised Premises or any
alternative submetering system installed by Landlord at a later date, becomes
prohibited from use as a result of laws and requirements of public authorities,
then Landlord, at its expense, may cause an independent electrical engineer
chosen by Landlord or an electrical consulting firm selected by Landlord
(hereinafter referred to as the "Electrical Consultanth) to survey and determine
Usage in, and Basic Cost for, the Demised Premises from time to time, at least
once per twelve (12) month period, and the Electrical Consultant shall make such
determination using criteria generally accepted in the Metropolitan New York
City area and Landlord's Rate in effect at the time, and shall include the
quantity and demand, for all electricity consumed by Tenant, plus seven (7%)
percent of the Basic Cost for Landlord's expenses and administration fees.

                                       60
<PAGE>

         16.08 Notwithstanding anything in Section 16.07 to the contrary, Tenant
shall have the right as hereinafter provided, to contest any amounts determined
by the Electrical Consultant pursuant to Section 16.07 as shall be due to
Landlord as a result of any such survey. In the event that Tenant fails to send
a written notice (hereinafter referred to as an "Objection Notice") to Landlord
within ninety (90) days after the date of the Electrical Consultant's notice
containing said Usage and Basic Cost, such notice shall become conclusive and
binding upon Tenant. If Tenant disputes any such notice by sending an Objection
Notice within the time and in the manner hereinbefore provided, then Tenant
shall, at its sole cost and expense, have the right to engage an electrical
engineer or electrical consulting firm (hereinafter referred to as "Tenant's
Consultanth) who shall promptly make a survey (hereinafter referred to as the
"Disputing Survey") indicating Tenant's electrical usage in the Demised
Premises. In the event that Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the
amount of Usage and Basic Cost within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant
furnishes Landlord with a copy of the Disputing Survey, then the Electrical
Consultant and Tenant's Consultant shall select a mutually acceptable electrical
engineer or electrical consulting firm (hereinafter referred to as the "Third
Consultanth) within ten (10) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day
period. The Electrical Consultant and Tenant's Consultant shall submit the
dispute to the Third Consultant and the determination by the Third Consultant
shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. During the pendency of
any such dispute, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount set forth in the
Electrical Consultant's notice until the dispute is finally determined in
accordance with the provisions of this Section and, in the event that such final
determination is less than the amount set forth in the Electrical Consultant's
notice, Landlord shall, at Tenant's election, refund to Tenant the amount of
such excess payment or credit any such excess against any amounts then due or
becoming due to Landlord under this lease. The cost of the Third Consultant
shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.

         16.09 Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord has advised Tenant that
Landlord is currently a registered reseller of electricity.

         16.10 Notwithstanding any provision of this lease to the contrary,
except in case of emergency, any work performed by or on behalf of Landlord to
the risers serving the Demised Premises shall only be performed on weekend days
after regular hours, and only after reasonable prior notice to Tenant. Provided
that it is physically possible for Tenant to receive the electric service
described in Section 16.01 above directly from one or more of the utility
companies then serving the area in which the Building is located, and Landlord
has elected to discontinue the aforesaid service to at least 75% of the office
space in the building in which the affected area of Tenant's Demised Premises is
located, Landlord may discontinue the aforesaid service upon thirty (30) days'
notice to Tenant without being liable to Tenant therefor and without in any way
affecting this lease or the liability of Tenant hereunder, and the same shall
not be deemed to be a lessening or diminution of services within the meaning of
any law, rule, or regulation now or hereafter enacted, promulgated, or issued.
In the event that Landlord gives such notice of discontinuance, Landlord shall
permit Tenant to receive such service directly from one of such utility
companies and shall

                                      61

<PAGE>

permit Landlord's wires and conduits to be used for such purpose. Any additional
wires, conduits, or other equipment necessary and proper in connection therewith
shall be installed by Landlord in accordance with the terms of, and subject to
the conditions contained in this Article. In the event that Landlord exercises
its rights under this Section 16.10, then: (a) Tenant shall contract for such
electrical service directly with the said utility company for all of Tenant's
electric current requirements and (b) Landlord shall have no obligation to
furnish electric current to Tenant or the Demised Premises. Provided Tenant is
diligently and in good faith arranging to obtain electricity directly from said
utility company, Landlord may not discontinue the electric service to the
Demised Premises until Tenant is able to contract directly for, and actually
receive, such electric service. All meters and all additional panel boards,
feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and equipment which may be required
to obtain electricity, of substantially the same quantity, quality and character
as Landlord is obligated to furnish under Section 16.01, shall be installed by
Landlord: (1) at Landlord's expense, if Landlord shall have discontinued
furnishing electricity to the Demised Premises voluntarily, or (2) at Tenant's
expense, if Landlord shall have been compelled to discontinue furnishing
electricity to the Demised Premises by reason of any act or omission of Tenant,
or (3) at the equal expense of Landlord and Tenant if such discontinuance shall
have been by compulsion of law or of any rule or regulation and not by reason of
any act or omission of Tenant.

                                  ARTICLE 17

                                   Services

         17.01 Landlord shall, at its cost and expense:

               (a) Provide necessary  elevator  facilities during Business Hours
of Business Days and shall have at least one passenger elevator subject to call
at all other times. At Landlord's option, the elevators shall be operated by
automatic control or by manual control, or by a combination of both of such
methods. Landlord agrees that it will not reduce the number of passenger
elevators available to serve the Demised Premises to the extent that passenger
elevator service to the Demised Premises shall be decreased below the level of
passenger service customary in buildings comparable to the Building (in terms of
vintage and otherwise).

               (b) Furnish heat to the perimeter of the demised premises
during Business Hours of Business Days and from 9 AM to 1 PM on Saturdays which
are not observed as union holidays, during the heating season from October 15 to
April 15 to the level required for comfortable occupancy of said perimeter areas
during such season. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for the
ventilating conditions and/or temperature of the demised premises during the
hours or days Landlord is not required to furnish heat pursuant to this
paragraph.

               (c) Furnish cold water for lavatory, drinking, pantry and
cafeteria and office cleaning purposes. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, shall have the right to install a hot water heater to provide hot water
to the demised premises. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any
other purposes, upon notice to Tenant (unless Tenant ceases to use the water

                                      62

<PAGE>

for any other purpose), Tenant agrees to Landlord installing a meter or meters
or other means to measure Tenant's water consumption, and Tenant further agrees
to reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of the meter or meters and the
installation thereof, and to pay for the maintenance of said meter equipment
and/or to pay Landlord's reasonable cost of other means of measuring such water
consumption by Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for the cost of
all water consumed, as measured by said meter or meters or as otherwise
measured, including sewer rents.

               (d) Tenant shall make all  arrangements  for, and pay all
expenses incurred in connection with, use of the freight elevators servicing
the Demised Premises. All scheduling of the freight elevators shall be done by
advanced reservation on a non-discriminatory basis. Landlord agrees that during
the Business Hours (as hereinafter defined) on Business Days there shall be no
charge for Tenant's normal use of the freight elevators servicing the Demised
Premises. However, Tenant acknowledges that (x) Tenant's use of such freight
elevator is non-exclusive and subject to scheduling by Landlord, (y) if Tenant's
use of such freight elevator for transporting materials, supplies, equipment,
machinery, furniture or furnishings will, in Landlord's reasonable opinion,
disrupt the operation of the Building (including the normal use of the freight
elevators), then Tenant will only be permitted to use such freight elevator
during non-Business Hours, in which event Tenant shall be obligated to pay for
such usage at Landlord's actual cost therefor and (z) there is a four (4) hour
minimum usage of the freight elevator on non-Business Days. Notwithstanding any
provision hereof to the contrary, Tenant shall not be charged for the usage of
50 hours of the freight elevator during non-Business Hours in connection with
Tenant's Work and initial move into the Demised Premises. Freight Elevator Hours
shall mean 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday.

         17.02 Landlord reserves the right without any liability whatsoever, or
abatement of fixed annual rent, or additional rent (except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this lease), to stop the heating, air-conditioning,
elevator, plumbing, electric and other systems when necessary by reason of
accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements,
provided that except in case of emergency, Landlord will notify Tenant in
advance, if possible, of any such stoppage and, if ascertainable, its estimated
duration, and will proceed diligently with the work necessary to resume such
service as promptly as possible and in a manner so as to minimize interference
with Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Lease, if as a
result of either (i) Landlord's failure to provide any services that Landlord is
obligated to provide in accordance with the Lease and provided such failure
shall not have resulted from any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, or
(ii) the making of repairs, alterations, additions or, improvements to the
Building by Landlord, the Demised Premises are rendered wholly or partially (but
in no event less than 1,000 rentable square feet) untenantable and Tenant ceases
the ordinary conduct of its business in the entire portion of the Demised
Premises so affected (such portion of the Demised Premises being hereinafter
referred to as the "Unusable Area") and all of Tenant's employees (except those
needed for security reasons) vacate the entire Unusable Area for a period in
excess of five (5) consecutive days (hereinafter called the "Threshold Period"),
then beginning upon the day

                                      63

<PAGE>

following the expiration of the Threshold Period and continuing thereafter until
the date that the Unusable Area is once again tenantable for the ordinary
conduct of Tenant's business therein or the date on which Tenant resumes the
operation of the ordinary conduct of its business in the Unusable Area,
whichever occurs earlier, the fixed rent and additional rent payable under
Article 5 hereof shall be (x) fully abated in the event the entire Demised
Premises is untenantable or (y) if only part of the Demised Premises is rendered
untenantable, abated in the proportion that the number of rentable square feet
in the Unusable Area bears to the number of rentable square feet in the entire
Demised Premises.

         17.03 Tenant shall at Tenant's sole cost and expense clean and maintain
the Demised Premises and shall contract directly with a bonded cleaning company
and a carting company utilizing only union members for rubbish removal which
shall not create labor disharmony. Tenant agrees that it shall cause its
cleaning and carting contractors to comply with all reasonable rules and
regulations of the Building and any reasonable security procedures to regulate
access to and egress from the Building and the Demised Premises after Business
Hours. Tenant agrees that in the event that its cleaning and/or its carting
company shall not comply with Landlord's reasonably security precautions and
Tenant fails to cure any material security problems within sixty (60) days
following notice thereof from Landlord, Tenant shall terminate its relationship
with such cleaning and/or carting company, as the case may be.

         17.04 Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, operate and maintain
any Units serving the Demised Premises. The electricity used to operate the
Units shall be measured by the submeters measuring other electric consumption in
the Demised Premises and Tenant shall pay for the electric which operates the
Units in accordance with the provisions of Article 16 hereof. Such maintenance
obligations shall be performed throughout the term of this Lease, on Tenant's
behalf and at Tenant's expense, by a reputable air conditioning maintenance
company, utilizing union labor only. Tenant's obligation to maintain the Units
shall include, but not be limited to, the periodic cleaning and/or replacement
of filters, replacements of fuses and belts, the calibration of thermostats and
all startup and shut down of the Units. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, perform any and all necessary repairs to the Units. The Units and any
replacements thereof shall be and remain at all times the property of Landlord,
and Tenant shall surrender the Units and all such replacements to Landlord on
the Expiration Date in good working order. Nothing contained in this Section
17.04 shall be construed to obligate either Landlord or Tenant to replace any of
the Units.

         17.05 Landlord will not be required to furnish any other services,
except as otherwise provided in this Lease.

         17.06 Landlord agrees to maintain the Building lobby as an attended
lobby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, subject to force majeure.

         17.07 Landlord, at its expense, and on Tenant's request, shall maintain
the name of Tenant, and the names of its officers and employees on each Building
directory, provided that the names so

                                      64

<PAGE>

listed shall not take up more than Tenant's applicable Tenant's Share of each
Building directory or any Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to
Landlord's standard charge for any such substitute or additional listings after
Tenant's initial move into the Building.

pipes, conduits, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other utilities, sinks or other
Building facilities, and the use thereof, as well as access thereto through the
Demised Premises for the purpose of operation, maintenance, decoration and
repair, are reserved to Landlord. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense,

separate locations in the Building from the point of entry(ies) to the Demised
Premises as designated by Landlord.

         19.02 Tenant shall permit Landlord to install, use, replace and
maintain pipes, ducts and conduits within the demising walls, bearing columns
and ceilings of the Demised Premises provided that such pipes, ducts and
conduits are concealed and are installed in a manner which does not detract from
the appearance of the Demised Premises or interfere with Tenant's use and
occupancy of the Demised Premises or reduce the usable area of the Demised
Premises, except to a de minimis extent.

         19.03 Landlord or Landlord's agent shall have the right, at reasonable
times and upon reasonable prior notice (except in emergency under clause (ii)
hereof) to enter and/or pass through the Demised Premises or any part thereof,
except for areas (not to exceed 3,000 rentable square feet) designated by Tenant
as private or where money or other valuables are kept (hereinafter referred to
as "security areas") unless accompanied by a representative of Tenant, which
representative Tenant agrees shall be made available by Tenant, at reasonable
times during reasonable hours, (i) to examine the Demised Premises and to show
them to the fee owners, lessors of superior leases, holders of superior
mortgages, or prospective purchasers, mortgagees or lessees of the Building as
an entirety, and (ii) for the purpose of making such repairs or changes in or to
the Demised Premises or in or its facilities, as may be provided for by this
lease or as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties or as Landlord may be
required to make by law or other leases or in order to repair and maintain said
structure or its fixtures or facilities. Landlord shall be allowed to take all
materials into and upon the Demised Premises that may be reasonably required for
such repairs, changes, repainting or maintenance to the Demised Premises only,
without liability to Tenant, but Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with
Tenant's use of the Demised Premises. Landlord shall also have the right

                                      65

<PAGE>

to enter on and/or pass through the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, at
such times as such entry shall be required by circumstances of emergency
affecting the Demised Premises or the Building. In such circumstances of
emergency, a policeman or fireman shall accompany Landlord's entry into any
security area whenever possible and Landlord will give Tenant prompt notice
after such entry. Landlord shall undertake, or cause to be undertaken, any
repairs, changes or other work pursuant to this Article 19 in such a manner so
as to minimize any interference that might be occasioned to Tenant's business
operations and to minimize any damage that might result to the appearance or
function of the affected areas of the Demised Premises but Landlord shall not be

Property caused by any repairs, changes or other work performed pursuant to this
Article 19 but Landlord shall not be required to use overtime labor except as
expressly set forth in this Lease.

         19.04 During the period of twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration
Date, Landlord may, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, exhibit the Demised

         19.05 Landlord reserves the right, upon reasonable prior notice without
incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, and without it constituting an
actual or constructive eviction, to make such changes in or to the Building and
the fixtures and equipment thereof, as well as in or to the size, composition,
number, arrangement or location of the public entrances, doors, doorways, halls,
passages, elevators, escalators and stairways and other public portions thereof,
as it may deem reasonably necessary or desirable provided that (a) Tenant shall,
at all times, have ingress and egress to and from the Building and the Demised
Premises as provided in this lease, (b) such change does not unreasonably
interfere with Tenant's use of and access to and from the Demised Premises or
significantly diminish elevator or other services presently available to Tenant,
(c) such changes do not adversely affect the nature of the Building, and (d)
once completed, no such changes, alterations, additions, improvements or repairs
shall materially interfere with the conduct of Tenant's business in the Demised
Premises and its use of and access to and from the Demised Premises. Tenant
hereby agrees that it has been advised by Landlord that it may combine the
existing separate entrances and lobbies to the 500 Building and the 512 Building
into one combined entrance and lobby. Tenant hereby agrees to such combination
as Landlord is permitted to make pursuant to this Section 19.05.

         19.06 (a) For the purposes of this lease, "Occupancy Requirement" shall
mean that this lease is in full force and effect, that no Event of Default
exists and that the Tenant named herein or a person that is a Related Entity to
the Tenant named herein or a successor to the Tenant named herein (or to a
Related Entity of the Tenant named herein) after a transfer of the stock of
Tenant ("Stock Transfer"), is the then Tenant under this lease and occupies, for
its own account, rentable area in the Building of no less than an amount equal

<PAGE>

               (b)  Landlord may adopt any name for the Building, except that
during that portion of the term of this lease that the Occupancy Requirement is
satisfied, Landlord shall not adopt as the name of the Building the name of any
Competitor.

               (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time during the
term of this lease the  Occupancy Requirement is not satisfied, and Landlord
adopts a name for the Building that would have been prohibited but for the fact
that the Occupancy Requirement was not satisfied, and thereafter the Occupancy
Requirement is again satisfied, Landlord shall not be obligated to rename or
unname the Building.

         19.07 For the purposes of Article 19, the term "Landlord" shall include
lessors of leases and the holders of mortgages to which this lease is subject
and subordinate as provided in Article 7.

         19.08 Any reservation in this lease of a right by Landlord to enter
upon the Demised Premises and to make or perform any repairs, alterations or
other work in, to or about the Demised Premises which, in the first instance, is
the obligation of Tenant pursuant to this lease shall not be deemed to: (i)
impose any obligation on Landlord to do so, (ii) render Landlord liable (to
Tenant or any third party) for the failure to do so, or (iii) relieve Tenant
from any obligations to indemnify Landlord as otherwise provided elsewhere in
this lease.

         21.01 Except as otherwise provided in this lease, neither Landlord nor
any agent or employee of Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any injury or
damage to Tenant or to any other person or for any damage to, or loss (by theft
or otherwise) of, any property of Tenant or of any other person, irrespective of
the cause of such injury, damage or loss, unless caused by or due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees occurring
within the scope of their respective employments, it being understood that no
property, other than such as might normally be brought upon or kept in the
Demised Premises as an incident to the reasonable use of the Demised Premises
for the purpose herein permitted, will be brought upon or be kept in the Demised
Premises.

         21.02 (a) Except to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, or its employees, agents or contractors and subject to the
provisions of Section 11.03, Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord
and its agents against and from (i) any and all claims arising from (A) the
conduct or management of the Demised Premises or of any business therein, or (B)
any work or thing whatsoever done, or any condition created (other than by
Landlord for Landlord's or Tenant's account) in or about the Demised Premises
during the term of this lease or during the period of time, if any, prior to the
Commencement Date that Tenant may have been given access to the Demised
Premises, or (C) arising from any negligent or otherwise wrongful act or
omission of Tenant or any of its subtenants or licensees or its or their
employees, agents or contractors, and (ii) all costs, expenses and liabilities

Tenant, or its employees, agents or contractors, and subject to the provisions
of Section 11.03, Landlord shall indemnify and save harmless Tenant and its

Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall resist and defend such action or
proceeding.

         21.03 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this lease, this lease
and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be in no wise affected, impaired
or excused because Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is delayed in fulfilling,
any of its obligations under this lease by reason of strike, other

<PAGE>

labor trouble, governmental pre-emption or priorities or other controls in
connection with a national or other public emergency or shortages of fuel,
supplies or labor resulting therefrom, acts of God or other like cause beyond
Landlord's reasonable control.

         21.04 (a) If any claim that is within the scope of any indemnity set
forth in this lease is asserted against any indemnified party, then the
indemnified party shall give prompt written notice (each, an "Indemnified Party
Notice") thereof to the indemnifying party (i.e., within a time period so as not
to prejudice the indemnifying party's or its insurer's ability to defend
effectively any action or proceeding brought on such claim) and the indemnifying
party shall have the right to defend and control the defense of any action or
proceeding brought on such claim with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party
subject to the approval of the indemnified party (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld) or by the indemnifying party's insurance company. If the
indemnifying party shall defend any such action or proceeding, then

                  (i) the indemnified party shall cooperate with the
indemnifying party (or its insurer) in the defense of any such action or
proceeding in such manner as the indemnifying party (or its insurer) may from
time to time reasonably request and the indemnifying party shall not be liable
for the costs of any separate counsel employed by the indemnified party,

                  (ii) the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement made without the indemnifying party's consent,

                  (iii) if such action or proceeding can be settled by the
payment of money by the indemnifying party and without the need to admit
liability on the indemnified party's part, then the indemnifying party shall
have the right to settle such action or proceeding without the indemnified
party's consent and the indemnifying party shall have no obligation under the
applicable indemnity set forth in this lease with respect to such action or
proceeding or other actions or proceedings involving the same or related facts
if the indemnified party refuses to agree to such a settlement, and

                  (iv) if such action or proceeding cannot be settled merely by
the payment of money by the indemnifying party and without the need to admit
liability on the indemnified party's part, then the indemnifying party shall not
settle such action or proceeding without the indemnified party's consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

               (b) If an indemnifying party shall, in good faith, believe
that a claim set forth in an Indemnified Party Notice is or may not be within
the scope of the indemnifying party's indemnity set forth in this lease then,
pending determination of that question, the indemnifying party shall not be
deemed to be in default under this lease by reason of its failure or refusal to
indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party therefrom or to pay such
costs, expenses and liabilities, but if it shall be finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction or by arbitration in accordance with Article 34
that such claim was within the scope of such indemnifying party's indemnity set
forth

                                      69

<PAGE>

in this lease then such indemnifying party shall be liable for any judgment or
reasonable settlement or any reasonable legal fees incurred by the party
entitled to indemnification hereunder.

         21.05 Notwithstanding any provision of this lease to the contrary, in
no event shall Landlord or Tenant be liable to the other for consequential
damages.

         21.06 The provisions of this Article 21 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this lease.

                              Destruction Or Damage

         22.01 If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be damaged or
destroyed by fire or other cause, Landlord, within sixty (60) days after such
damage or destruction, shall deliver to Tenant said estimate of the time
(hereinafter referred to as the "Estimated Time") required to repair or restore
the damage or destruction, prepared by an independent contractor or architect
selected by Landlord within twenty (20) days after such damage or destruction,
and reasonably approved by Tenant within ten (10) business days after written
notice from Landlord identifying such independent contractor or architect (such
estimate being hereinafter referred to as the "Estimate"). If the Building or
the Demised Premises shall be partially damaged or partially destroyed by fire
or other cause, the rents payable hereunder shall be abated to the extent that
the Demised Premises shall have been rendered untenantable or inaccessible and
for the period from the date of such damage or destruction to the date the
damage to the Building and the Demised Premises shall be repaired and restored
so as to render the Demised Premises tenantable and accessible. If the Demised
Premises or a major part thereof shall be totally (which shall be deemed to
include substantially totally) damaged or destroyed or rendered completely
(which shall be deemed to include substantially completely) untenantable or
inaccessible on account of fire or other cause, all of the rents shall abate as
of the date of the damage or destruction and until all of the damage and
destruction to the Building and the Demised Premises shall be repaired and
restored so as to render the Demised Premises tenantable and accessible,
provided, however, that should Tenant reoccupy a portion of the Demised Premises
during the period the restoration work is taking place and prior to the date
that the same are made completely tenantable, rents allocable to such portion
shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy.

         22.02 If the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other
cause (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged or destroyed) as to
require a reasonably estimated expenditure of more than 40% of the full
insurable value of the Building immediately prior to the casualty, then, as long
as Landlord shall concurrently elect to terminate at least 75% of leases for
office space in the building in which the affected area of the Demised Premises
is located, Landlord may terminate this lease by giving Tenant notice to such
effect within ninety (90) days after the date of the casualty. In case of any
damage or destruction to the Building or the Demised Premises mentioned in this
Section 22.02 Tenant may terminate this lease, (a) by notice to Landlord sent

                                      70

<PAGE>

within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Estimate if the Estimated Time
exceeds nine (9) months or, (b) if Landlord has not completed the making of the
required repairs and restored and rebuilt the Building and the Demised Premises
in such time as will enable Tenant, commencing upon the completion of the repair
and restoration required to be performed by Landlord and prosecuting same with
reasonable diligence, to complete the restoration of the Demised Premises
(including Tenant's Work) within nine (9) months from the date of such damage or
destruction, or within such period after such date (not exceeding three (3)
months) as shall equal the aggregate period Landlord may have been delayed in
doing so by labor trouble, governmental controls, act of God, or any other cause
beyond Landlord's reasonable control, by notice to Landlord sent within thirty
(30) days after such nine (9) month period (as same may be extended pursuant
to the provisions of Section 22.02(b)), or (c) by notice to Landlord sent within
sixty (60) days of receipt of the Estimate if such damage or destruction occurs
during the last two (2) years of the term hereof and the Estimated Time exceeds
four (4) months, or (d) if such damage or destruction occurs during the last two
(2) years of the term hereof if Landlord shall not have completed making the
required repairs and restoration of the Building and Demised Premises in such
time as will enable Tenant, commencing upon the completion of the repair and
restoration required to be performed by Landlord and prosecuting same with
reasonable diligence to complete the restoration of the Demised Premises
(including Tenant's Work) within four (4) months from the date of such damage or
destruction, by notice to Landlord sent within sixty (60) days after such four
(4) month period.

         22.03 If the Building or the Demised Premises shall be partially or
totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause, then, whether or not the
damage or destruction shall have resulted from the fault or neglect of Tenant,
or its employees, agents or visitors (and if this lease shall not have been
terminated as in this Article provided), Landlord shall repair the damage and
restore and rebuild the Building and/or the Demised Premises, at its expense,
with reasonable dispatch after notice to it of the damage or destruction;
provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any
of Tenant's Property, Tenant's Changes or Tenant's Work.

         22.04 No damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord
for inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or
restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises or of the Building pursuant
to this Article. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect
such repair or restoration promptly and in such manner as to not unreasonably
interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy and commercially reasonable efforts to
collect the proceeds of any insurance which may be payable in respect of such
casualty.

         22.05 Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Article,
if Landlord or the lessor of any superior lease or the holder of any superior
mortgage shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including
rent insurance proceeds) applicable to damage or destruction of the Demised
Premises or the Building by fire or other cause, solely by reason of the
negligence or willful act of Tenant, and, provided Landlord has complied with
all of its obligations hereunder and under any superior lease and/or superior
mortgage, then, without prejudice to any other remedies

                                      71

<PAGE>

which may be available against Tenant, there shall be no abatement of Tenant's
rents, but the total amount of such rents not abated (which would otherwise have
been abated) shall not exceed the amount of such uncollected insurance proceeds.

         22.06 Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's
Property, Tenant's Changes or Tenant's Work, and, except as provided by law or
by reason of its fault or its breach of any of its obligations hereunder or as
otherwise set forth in this lease, shall not be obligated to repair any damage
thereto or replace the same.

         22.07 The provisions of this Article shall be considered an express
agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Demised Premises by
fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of
New York, providing for such a contingency in the absence of an express
agreement, and any other law of like import, now or hereafter in force, shall
have no application in such case.

                                  ARTICLE 23

                                Eminent Domain

         23.01 If the whole of the Building shall be lawfully taken by
condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or
purpose, this lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith
terminate as of the date of vesting of title in such taking (which date is
hereinafter also referred to as the "date of the taking"), and the rents shall
be prorated and adjusted as of such date.

         23.02 Except as hereafter expressly set forth, if only a part of the
Building shall be so taken, this lease shall be unaffected by such taking,
except that Tenant may elect to terminate this lease in the event access to and
from the Demised Premises is materially impeded or in the event of a partial
taking of the Demised Premises if the remaining area of the Demised Premises
shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue feasible operation of
its business. Tenant shall give notice of such election to Landlord not later
than sixty (60) days after (i) notice of such taking is given by Landlord to
Tenant, or (ii) the date of such taking, whichever occurs sooner. Upon the
giving of such notice by Tenant this lease shall terminate on the date of such
taking and the rents shall be prorated as of such termination date. Upon such
partial taking and this lease continuing in force as to any part of the Demised
Premises, the rents apportioned to the part taken shall be prorated and adjusted
as of the date of taking and from such date the fixed rent for the Demised
Premises and additional rent shall be payable pursuant to Article 5 according to
the rentable area remaining.

         23.03 Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any
proceeding with respect to any taking provided for in this Article without
deduction therefrom for any estate vested in Tenant by this lease and Tenant
shall receive no part of such award, except as hereinafter expressly provided in
this Article. Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right,
title and interest in or to every such award. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, Tenant May, at its sole cost

                                      72

<PAGE>

and expense, make a claim with the condemning authority for Tenant's moving
expenses, the value of Tenant's fixtures or Tenant's Changes which do not
become part of the Building or property of Landlord, any compensation to which
Tenant may otherwise lawfully be entitled in such case in respect of Tenant's
Property, provided such award shall be made by the condemning authority in
addition to, and shall not result in any reduction of, the award made by it to
Landlord.

         23.04 If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the
Demised Premises shall be lawfully taken by condemnation or in any other manner
for any public or quasi-public use or purpose during the term of this lease,
Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that
portion of the award for such taking which represents compensation for the use
and occupancy of the Demised Premises and, if so awarded, for the taking of
Tenant's Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to
receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration
of the Demised Premises. This lease shall be and remain unaffected by such
taking as long as such taking shall not exceed a period of six (6) months and
Tenant shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations hereunder
insofar as such obligations are not affected by such taking and shall continue
to pay in full the fixed rent and additional rent when due. If the period of
temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date, that part of
the award which represents compensation for the use or occupancy of the Demised
Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so
that Tenant shall receive so much thereof as represents the period prior to the
Expiration Date and Landlord shall receive so much thereof as represents the
period subsequent to the Expiration Date. All moneys received by Tenant as, or
as part of, an award for temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond the
date to which the rents hereunder have been paid by Tenant shall be received,
held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of the rents falling due
hereunder. Any taking for a period of time in excess of six (6) months shall be
deemed a total taking.

         23.05 In the event of any taking of less than the whole of the Building
which does not result in a termination of this lease, or in the event of a
taking for a temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised
Premises which does not extend beyond the Expiration Date, Landlord, at its
expense, and to the extent any award or awards shall be sufficient for the
purpose, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair, alter and restore
(a) the remaining parts of the Building to substantially a building standard
condition to the extent that the same may be feasible and so as to constitute a
complete and tenantable Building and (b) the Demised Premises to substantially
the condition existing prior to the taking.

<PAGE>

         23.06 Should any part of the Demised Premises be taken to effect
compliance with any law or requirement of public authority other than in the
manner hereinabove provided in this Article, then (i) if such compliance is the
obligation of Tenant under this lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to any
diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation from Landlord therefor,
but (ii) if such compliance is the obligation of Landlord under this lease, the
fixed rent hereunder shall be reduced and additional rents under Article 5 shall
be adjusted in the same manner as is provided in Section 23.02 according to the
reduction in rentable area of the Demised Premises resulting from such taking.

         23.07 Any dispute which may arise between the parties with respect to
the meaning or application of any of the provisions of this Article shall be
determined by arbitration in the manner provided in Article 34.

                                  ARTICLE 24

                             Surrender; Holdover

         24.01 On the last day of the term of this lease, or upon any earlier
termination of this lease, or upon any re-entry by Landlord upon the Demised
Premises, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord in
good order, condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear and Tenant
shall remove all of Tenant's Property therefrom except as otherwise expressly
provided in this lease and shall repair any damage to the Demised Premises
resulting from such removal.

         24.02 (a) In the event this lease is not renewed or extended or a new
lease is not entered into between the parties, and if Tenant shall then hold
over after the expiration of the term of this lease, and if Landlord shall then
not proceed to remove Tenant from the Demised Premises in the manner permitted
by law (or shall not have given written notice to Tenant that Tenant must vacate
the Demised Premises) irrespective of whether or not Landlord accepts rent from
Tenant for a period beyond the Expiration Date, the parties hereby agree that
Tenant's occupancy of the Demised Premises after the expiration of the term
shall be under a month-to-month tenancy commencing on the first day after the
expiration of the term, which tenancy shall be upon all of the terms set forth
in this lease except Tenant shall pay on the first day of each month of the
holdover period as fixed rent, an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage (as
hereinafter defined) of the greater of (a) one-twelfth the fixed rent payable by
Tenant during the last year of the term of this lease (i.e., the year
immediately prior to the holdover period) and (b) one twelfth of the annual fair
market rental value of the Demised Premises on the date of such holdover.
Further, Landlord shall not be required to perform any work, furnish any
materials or make any repairs within the Demised Premises during the holdover
period. It is further stipulated and agreed that if Landlord shall, at any time
after the expiration of the original term or after the expiration of any term
created thereafter, proceed to remove Tenant from the Demised Premises as a
holdover, the fixed rent for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises
during any holdover period shall be calculated in the same manner as set forth
above. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from
Tenant any losses or damages arising from such holdover. For purposes of this
Section 24.02(a), the term

                                      74

<PAGE>

"Applicable Percentage" means (i) 150% for the first thirty (30) days of any
holdover. (ii) 175% for the next thirty (30) days of such holdover, and (iii)
200% thereafter.

               (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
lease, the acceptance of any rent paid by Tenant pursuant to subsection 24.02(a)
above shall not preclude Landlord from commencing and prosecuting a holdover or
summary eviction proceeding, and the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an
"agreement expressly providing otherwise" within the meaning of Section 232-c of
the Real Property Law of the State of New York.

               (c) All damages to Landlord by reason of holding over by Tenant
may be the subject of a separate action and need not be asserted by Landlord in
any summary proceedings against Tenant.

                                   ARTICLE 25

                            Conditions Of Limitation

          25.01 To the extent permitted by applicable law this lease and the
 term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation that whenever
 Tenant shall make an assignment of the property of Tenant for the benefit of
 creditors, or shall file a voluntary petition under any bankruptcy or
 insolvency law, or an involuntary petition alleging an act of bankruptcy or
 insolvency shall be filed against Tenant under any bankruptcy or insolvency
 law, or whenever a petition shall be filed against Tenant under the
 reorganization provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Act or under the
 provisions of any law of like import, or whenever a petition shall be filed by
 Tenant under the arrangement provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Act or
 under the provisions of any law of like import, or whenever a permanent
 receiver of Tenant or of or for the property of Tenant shall be appointed,
 then, Landlord, (a) at any time after receipt of notice of the occurrence of
 any such event, or (b) if such event occurs without the acquiescence of Tenant,
 at any time after the event continues unstayed for ninety (90) days, may give
 Tenant a notice of intention to end the term of this lease at the expiration of
 five (5) days from the date of service of such notice of intention, and upon
 the expiration of said five (5) day period this lease and the term and estate
 hereby granted, whether or not the term shall theretofore have commenced, shall
 terminate with the same effect as if that day were the Expiration Date, but
 Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in Article 27.

         25.02 This lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject to
the further limitation that:

               (a) whenever Tenant shall default in the payment of any
installment of fixed rent, or in the payment of any additional rent or any other
charge payable by Tenant to Landlord, on any day upon which the same ought to be
paid, and such default shall continue for fifteen (15) days after Landlord shall
have given Tenant a notice specifying such default; or

                                      75

<PAGE>

               (b) whenever Tenant shall default in the performance of any of
Tenant's obligations hereunder, and if such default shall continue and shall not
be remedied by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given to
Tenant a notice specifying the same, or, in the case of a default which cannot
with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days and the
continuance of which for the period required for cure will not subject Landlord
to the risk of criminal liability (as more particularly described in Section
10.02), if Tenant shall not, (i) within said thirty (30) day period advise
Landlord of Tenant's intention to duly institute all steps necessary to remedy
such situation, (ii) duly institute within said thirty (30) day period, and
thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy the
same, and (iii) complete such remedy within such time after the date of the
giving of said notice of Landlord as shall reasonably be necessary; or

               (c) whenever any event shall occur or any contingency shall arise
whereby this lease or the estate hereby granted or the unexpired balance of the
term hereof shall, by operation of law or otherwise, devolve upon or pass to any
person, firm or corporation other than Tenant, except as expressly permitted by
Article 9, and if the same shall continue for fifteen (15) days after notice
thereof from Landlord; then in any of said cases set forth in the foregoing
Subsections (a), (b) and (c), Landlord may give to Tenant a notice of intention
to end the term of this lease at the expiration of five (5) days from the date
of the service of such notice of intention, and upon the expiration of said five
(5) days this lease and the term and estate hereby granted, whether or not the
term shall theretofore have commenced, shall terminate with the same effect as
if that day were the Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages
as provided in Article 27.

                                  ARTICLE 26

                             Re-Entry By Landlord

         26.01 If there shall occur any default described in Article 25 hereof,
and such default shall continue beyond the expiration of the cure period
therefore provided in Article 25 (after any required notice), or if this lease
shall terminate as in Article 25 provided, Landlord or Landlord's agents and
employees may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Demised
Premises, or any part thereof, in the name of the whole, either by summary
dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, without
being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess
the same, and may remove any persons therefrom, to the end that Landlord may
have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises again as and of its first estate and
interest therein. The word re-enter, as herein used, is not restricted to its
technical legal meaning. In the event of any termination of this lease under the
provisions of Article 25 or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises
under the provisions of this Article or in the event of the termination of this
lease, or of re-entry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or
action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of
Tenant, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the fixed rent and additional
rent payable by Tenant to Landlord up to the time of such termination of

                                      76

<PAGE>

this lease, or of such recovery of possession of the Demised Premises by
Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord damages as
provided in Article 27.

         26.02 In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of
its obligations under this lease, Landlord shall also have the right of
injunction. The special remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are
cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means
of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time and Landlord
may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were
not provided for herein.

         26.03 If this lease shall terminate under the provisions of Article 25,
or if Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this
Article, or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of re-entry, by or
under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of
law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be
entitled to retain all moneys, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as
advance rent, security or otherwise, but such moneys shall be credited by
Landlord against any fixed rent or additional rent due from Tenant at the time
of such termination or re-entry or, at Landlord's option, against any damages
payable by Tenant under Article 27 or pursuant to law and any excess shall be
promptly paid or returned to Tenant.

                                  ARTICLE 27

                                   Damages

         27.01 If this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 25,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:

               (a) a sum which at the time of such termination of this lease
represents the then present value of the excess, if any, discounted at the prime
rate per annum, of:

                  1. the aggregate of the fixed rent and the additional rent
payable  hereunder which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively
presuming the additional rent to be the same as was payable for the year
immediately preceding such termination) for the period commencing with such
earlier termination of this lease and ending with the Expiration Date, had this
lease not so terminated over

                   2. the aggregate rental value of the Demised Premises for the
same period; or

               (b) sums equal to the fixed rent and the additional rent (as
above presumed) payable hereunder which would have been payable by Tenant had
this lease not so terminated, payable upon the due dates therefor specified
herein following such termination and until the Expiration Date, provided,
however, that if Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises during said period,
Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such
reletting, such

                                      77

<PAGE>

net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when
received by Landlord from such reletting the expenses incurred or paid by
Landlord in terminating this lease and in securing possession thereof, as well
as the expenses of reletting, including altering and preparing the Demised
Premises for new tenants, brokers' commissions, and all other expenses properly
chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental therefrom; it being
understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than
the remaining term of this lease; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to
receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord
hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of
damages pursuant to this subsection to a credit in respect of any net rents from
a reletting, except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by
Landlord. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet in
combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis
(for equivalent space) shall be made of the rent received from such reletting
and of the expenses of reletting. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof be
relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the term of this lease, or any
part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court,
commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall,
prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Demised Premises,
or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting.

         27.02 Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any
installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its
election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to
postpone suit until the date when the term of this lease would have expired if
it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 25, or under any
provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises. Nothing
herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord
against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages
particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any
default hereunder on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as
liquidated damages by reason of the termination of this lease or re-entry on the
Demised Premises for the default of Tenant under this lease, an amount equal to
the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when,
and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved whether or
not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than any of the sums referred to
in Section 27.01.

                                   ARTICLE 28

                                     Waiver

         28.01 Tenant, for Tenant, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming
through or under Tenant, including creditors of all kinds, does hereby waive and
surrender all right and privilege which they or any of them might have under or
by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the Demised Premises or to
have a continuance of this lease for the term hereby demised after the
termination of this lease as herein provided.

                                      78

<PAGE>

         28.02 In the event that Tenant is in arrears in payment of fixed rent
or additional rent hereunder, Tenant waives Tenant's right, if any, to designate
the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and
Tenant agrees that Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items
it sees fit, irrespective of and notwithstanding any designation or request by
Tenant as to the items against which any such payments shall be credited.

         28.03 Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim brought by either against the other on any matter
whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this lease, the
relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised
Premises, including any claim of injury or damage, or any emergency or other
statutory remedy with respect thereto. In the event Landlord commences any
summary proceedings for possession of the Demised Premises, Tenant covenants and
agrees that it will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description
in any such proceeding except a mandatory counterclaim or defense that would be
lost if not so interposed.

         28.04 The provisions of Articles 17 and 18 shall be considered
expressed agreements governing the services to be furnished by Landlord, and
Tenant agrees that any laws and/or requirements of public authorities, now or
hereafter in force, shall have no application in connection with any enlargement
of Landlord's obligations with respect to such services unless Tenant agrees, in
writing, to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Landlord's reasonable charges
for any additional services provided.

         28.05 If, at any time during the term of this lease, any requirement of
public authority shall have the effect of limiting, for any period of time, the
amount of the rents payable by Tenant, or receivable by Landlord, under this
lease, and the maximum rents so permitted to be paid by Tenant, or received by
Landlord, hereunder shall be less than the rents herein reserved, then:

               (a) throughout the period of limitation, Tenant shall remain
liable for the maximum amount of rents that is lawfully payable; and

               (b) if and when the period of limitation ends, the requirement of
public authority imposing such limitation is repealed, or such limitation is
restrained or rendered unenforceable by any order or ruling of a court of
appropriate jurisdiction:

                   (i) to the extent that the same is not prohibited by any
requirement of public  authority,  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, all
amounts that would have been due from Tenant to Landlord during the period of
limitation, but that were not paid because of the requirements of public
authorities; and

                   (ii) thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of the
rents reserved under this lease, all of which shall be calculated as if there
had been no intervening period of limitation.

                                   ARTICLE 29

                        No Other Waivers Or Modifications

         29.01 The failure of either party to insist in any one or more
instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of
this lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed
as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of such one or
more obligations of this lease or of the right to exercise such election, but
the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any
subsequent breach, act or omission. No executory agreement hereafter made
between Landlord and Tenant shall be effective to change, modify, waive,
release, discharge, terminate or effect an abandonment of this lease, in whole
or in part, unless such executory agreement is in writing, refers expressly to
this lease and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change,
modification, waiver, release, discharge or termination or effectuation of the
abandonment is sought.

         29.02 The following specific provisions of this Section shall not be
deemed to limit the generality of any of the foregoing provisions of this
Article:

               (a) no agreement to accept a surrender of all or any part of the
Demised Premises shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. The
delivery of keys to an employee of Landlord or of its agent shall not operate as
a termination of this lease or a surrender of the Demised Premises. If Tenant
shall at any time request Landlord to sublet the Demised Premises for Tenant's
account, Landlord or its agent is authorized to receive said keys for such
purposes without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this lease,
and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any liability for loss or damage to any
of Tenant's property in connection with such subletting except arising out of
the negligence or willful act of Landlord or its agent.

               (b) the receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of breach of
any obligation of this lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

               (c) no payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser
amount than the correct fixed rent or additional rent due hereunder shall be
deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or
statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed
an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment
without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance or pursue any other
remedy in this lease or at law provided.

                                   ARTICLE 30

            Curing Tenant's Defaults, Additional Rent; Reimbursement

         30.01 (a) if Tenant shall default in the performance of any of Tenant's
obligations under this lease and such default shall continue beyond the
expiration of any applicable cure period (after required notice), Landlord,
without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated

to) perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant, without
notice, in a case of emergency;

               (b) if Tenant is late in making any payment due to Landlord from
Tenant under this lease for five (5) or more days, then interest shall become
due and owing to Landlord on such payment from the date when it was due,
computed at the rate (the "Interest Rate") of five (5%) percent per annum over
the Base Rate (as defined in Section 5.07) but in no event in excess of the
maximum legal rate of interest chargeable in the State of New York.

         30.02 Bills for any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with any such performance by it for the account of Tenant, and bills
for all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature
whatsoever, including reasonable counsel fees, involved in collecting or
endeavoring to collect the fixed rent or additional rent or any part thereof or
enforcing or endeavoring to enforce any rights against Tenant, under or in
connection with this lease, or pursuant to law, providing Landlord is the
prevailing party or a settlement is made in favor of Landlord, including any
such reasonable cost, expense and disbursement involved in instituting and
prosecuting summary proceedings, as well as bills for any property, material,
labor or services provided, furnished, or rendered, by Landlord or at its
instance to Tenant, may be sent by Landlord to Tenant monthly, or immediately,
at Landlord's option, and, shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms
of such bills. In the event Tenant institutes any action against Landlord to
enforce any rights against Landlord under this lease or pursuant to law (after
Landlord defaults in the observance or performance of its obligations under this
lease and such default continues after any required notice and the expiration of
any applicable cure period) and providing Tenant is the prevailing party or a
settlement is made in favor of Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to recover
reasonable counsel fees, costs, expenses and disbursements incurred by Tenant in
connection with such action.

conversations or other communications with any broker or finder except Newmark &
Company Real Estate, Inc. and Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. (collectively, the
"Broker") in connection with the leasing of the Demised Premises to Tenant and
that, to Tenant's best knowledge, there were no brokers or finders except the

         31.02 Based upon the foregoing representation, Landlord has agreed to
pay, pursuant to a separate written agreement, a brokerage commission to the
Broker.

                              Estoppel Certificate

         33.01 Within ten (10) days after either party's request, the other
party shall execute and deliver to the requesting party a statement (i)
certifying that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if
there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as
modified and stating the modifications) and whether any options granted to
Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this lease have been exercised, (ii)
certifying the dates to which the fixed rent and additional rent have been paid
and the amounts thereof, (iii) stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of
the signer, the other party is in default in performance of any of its
obligations under this lease, or if Tenant is the certifying party, whether
Tenant is in default, and, if so, specifying each such default of which the
signer may have knowledge, (iv) stating whether Tenant has any rights to offsets
or abatement of rent, (v) stating whether Tenant has prepaid any rent for more
than one month in advance, and (vi) certifying such other information as the
requesting party reasonably requests, it being intended that any such statement
delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by others with whom the party
requesting such certificate may be dealing and their respective successors
and/or assigns. Breach of the foregoing by either party will constitute such
party's acknowledgment which may be relied on by any person holding or proposing
to acquire an interest in the Building, this lease or any superior mortgage,
that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and will constitute,
as to any such person, a waiver of any defaults on either party's part which may
exist prior to the date of such request. The foregoing shall not limit any other
rights and remedies available to Landlord or Tenant for breach of this Article.

                                   Arbitration

         34.01 Either party may request arbitration of any matter in dispute
wherein arbitration is expressly provided in this lease as the appropriate
remedy. The party requesting arbitration shall do so by giving notice to that
effect to the other party, and both parties shall promptly thereafter jointly
apply to the American Arbitration Association (or any organization successor
thereto) in the City and County of New York for the appointment of a single
arbitrator.

         34.02 Except to the extent provided to the contrary, the arbitration
shall be conducted in accordance with the Expedited Procedures provisions of the
AAA, presently Rules E1 through E10 and, to the extent applicable, Section R-19;
provided, however, that with respect to any such arbitration, (a) the parties
shall dispense with attempting to agree on an arbitrator in accordance with the
first sentence of Section E-5(b) and shall follow the procedure set forth in the
second sentence

                                      83

<PAGE>

of Section E-5(b) and the list of arbitrators referred to in Rule E-5(b), shall
be returned to the AAA within five (5) days from the date of mailing; (b) the
parties shall notify the AAA by facsimile within four (4) days of any objections
to the arbitrator appointed and will have no right to object if the arbitrator
so appointed was on the list submitted by the AAA in accordance with Rule E-5(a)
and was not struck from the list in accordance with the second sentence of Rule
E-5(b); (c) the Notice of Hearing referred to in Rule E-8 shall be four (4) days
in advance of the hearing; (d) the hearing shall be held within five (5) days
after the appointment of the arbitrator; and (e) the decision and award of the
arbitrator shall be final and conclusive on the parties. In rendering such
decision and award, the arbitrator shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise
modify the provisions of this lease.

         34.03 If for any reason whatsoever a written decision and award of the
arbitrator shall not be rendered within ninety (90) days after the appointment
of such arbitrator, then at any time thereafter before such decision and award
shall have been rendered either party may apply to the Supreme Court of the
State of New York or to any other court having jurisdiction and exercising the
functions similar to those now exercised by such court, by action, proceeding or
otherwise (but not by a new arbitration proceeding) as may be proper to
determine the question in dispute consistently with the provisions of this
lease.

         34.04 All the expenses of the arbitration shall be borne by the parties
equally except that each party shall be responsible for its own legal and
witness fees and expenses.

                                   ARTICLE 35

         No Other Representations, Construction, Governing Law, Consents

         35.01 Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not
made and is not making, and Tenant, in executing and delivering this lease, is
not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements,
except to the extent that the same are expressly set forth in this lease or in
any other written agreement which may be made between the parties concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this lease and shall expressly refer to this
lease. This lease and said other written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith
are hereinafter referred to as the "lease documents". It is understood and
agreed that all understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties
are merged in the lease documents, which alone fully and completely express
their agreements and that the same are entered into after full investigation,
neither party relying upon any statement or representation not embodied in the
lease documents, made by the other.

         35.02 If any of the provisions of this lease, or the application
thereof to any person or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this lease, or the application of such provision
or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which
it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every
provision of this lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law. This lease shall be construed without regard to any
presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this
lease to be drafted.

<PAGE>

         35.03 This lease shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the
State of New York applicable to agreements made and wholly executed therein
without reference to conflicts of laws principles.

         35.04 Wherever in this lease Landlord's consent or approval is
required, if Landlord shall refuse such consent or approval, Tenant in no event
shall be entitled to make, nor shall Tenant make, any claim, and Tenant hereby
waives any claim, for money damages (nor shall Tenant claim any money damages by
way of set-off, counterclaim or defense) based upon any claim or assertion by
Tenant that Landlord unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed its consent
or approval (except in instances where it has been judicially determined that
Landlord has acted in bad faith). Tenant's sole remedy shall be an action or
proceeding to enforce any such provision, for specific performance, injunction
or declaratory judgment or for a determination as to whether Landlord reasonably
withheld its consent pursuant to either (a) the Simplified Procedure For Court
Determination of Disputes as set forth in the CPLR ss.3031 et seq. (or any
successor thereto), or (b) arbitration under the Expedited Procedures provisions
of the AAA as set forth in Section 34.02 above (and the fees and expenses of
such arbitration shall be borne by the unsuccessful party), and, if Tenant
elects either (a) or (b) above, the decision shall be final and conclusive on
the parties.

         35.05 Submission by Landlord of this lease for execution by Tenant
shall neither confer any rights nor impose any obligations on either party
unless and until both Landlord and Tenant shall have executed this lease and
duplicate originals thereof shall have been delivered to the respective parties.

         35.06 If there shall be more than one person named as Tenant herein,
then all such persons shall be deemed to be joint tenants in the leasehold
estate demised hereby, with joint and several liability hereunder.

         35.07 Without Landlord's prior written consent, Tenant may not record
this lease or a memorandum hereof.

                                Parties Bound

         36.01 The obligations of this lease shall bind and benefit the
successors and assigns of the parties with the same effect as if mentioned in
each instance where a party is named or referred to, except that no violation of
the provisions of Article 9 shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or
assignee of Tenant and that the provisions of this Article shall not be
construed as modifying the conditions of limitation contained in Article 25.
However, the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not be binding upon
Landlord named herein after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by such
Landlord (or upon any subsequent Landlord after the sale, conveyance, assignment
or transfer by such subsequent Landlord) of its interest in the Building as
owner or lessee, as the case may be, and in the event of any such sale,
conveyance, assignment or transfer, Landlord shall be and

                                      85

<PAGE>

hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all future covenants and obligations of
Landlord hereunder. It shall be deemed, without further agreement, that the
successor or transferee landlord, as applicable, has assumed and agreed to
perform and observe all covenants, liabilities and obligations of Landlord
herein during the period it is the holder of Landlord's interest under this
Lease and such successor or transferee landlord shall be obligated to cure any
repair, service or maintenance default of a prior Landlord which shall continue
after such successor or transferee landlord's acquisition of the Building and
shall be subject to any rights of abatement specifically granted under this
Lease by reason of any condition existing prior to such successor or transferee
landlord's acquisition which shall continue after such acquisition. Landlord
shall give Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior notice of any such sale,
conveyance, assignment or transfer, which notice will include the date of such
sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may look to the proceeds of the sale
of the Building with respect to a claim by Tenant against Landlord for the
payment of a specific sum of money substantiated by reasonably detailed evidence
therefor (hereinafter called a "Specific Monetary Claim"), which claim Tenant
has asserted in writing and which evidence shall have been delivered to Landlord
prior to the sale, provided that Tenant shall have commenced a legal action or
proceeding with respect to such Specific Monetary Claim prior to or within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the sale (time being of the essence), unless the
successor landlord has agreed to assume liability for the Specific Monetary
Claim, in which case Tenant shall have no right to look to the proceeds of the
sale of the Building but may only look to the interest of the successor landlord
in the Building. In the event the Specific Monetary Claim is asserted and an
action commenced with respect thereto on a timely basis as hereinbefore set
forth, Landlord shall either (i) deposit in escrow with Landlord's attorneys an
amount equal to 110% of the Specific Monetary Claim or (ii) bond in an amount
equal to 110% of the amount of the Specific Monetary Claim, at Landlord's
election. Tenant agrees that if Landlord shall request an estoppel certificate
in connection with the sale of the Building and Tenant shall either fail to
furnish such estoppel certificate with twenty-five (25) days after Landlord's
request therefor or if Tenant furnishes such estoppel certificate on a timely
basis but fails to assert any Specific Monetary Claim therein which accrued
prior to the date of such estoppel certificate, then notwithstanding any
language to the contrary contained in this Section 36.01 Tenant shall not have
the right to look to the proceeds of the sale of the Building or to any
successor landlord with respect to any claim.

         36.02 Tenant shall look only to Landlord's estate, interest and
property in the Building for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies for the
collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of
money by Landlord in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder, and no
other property or assets of such Landlord or any partner, member, officer or
director thereof, disclosed or undisclosed shall be subject to levy, execution
or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies under
or with respect to this lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder
or Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised Premises. The foregoing limitation
on Landlord's liability shall not (a) be applicable to, and Landlord (and, if
applicable, Affiliates of Landlord) shall be liable to Tenant to the extent of,
(i) any net insurance proceeds or condemnation awards misapplied by Landlord in
breach of Landlord's obligations to apply such proceeds under this

                                      86

<PAGE>

lease and (ii) the amount of the Security Deposit then held by or on behalf of
Landlord as shall have been misapplied by Landlord in breach of Landlord's
obligations to hold and apply such Security Deposit under this lease or (b) in
any manner which constitutes a waiver of or affects any of the obligations of
Landlord under this lease, or limits Tenant's rights to name Landlord in any
action or proceeding relating to this lease.

                     Certain Definitions And Construction

         37.01 For the purposes of this lease and all agreements supplemental to
this lease, unless the context otherwise requires the definitions set forth in
Exhibit D annexed hereto shall be utilized.

         37.02 The various terms which are bolded or underlined and defined in
other Articles of this lease or are defined in Exhibits annexed hereto, shall
have the meanings specified in such other Articles and such Exhibits for all
purposes of this lease and all agreements supplemental thereto, unless the
context shall otherwise require.

                                   ARTICLE 38

            Adjacent Excavation And Construction; Shoring; Vaults

         38.01 If an excavation or other substructure work shall be made upon
land adjacent to the Demised Premises, or shall be authorized to be made, Tenant
shall afford to the person causing or authorized to cause such excavation,
license to enter upon the Demised Premises for the purpose of doing such work as
shall be necessary to preserve the wall of or the Building from injury or damage
and to support the same by proper foundations without any claim for damages or
indemnity against Landlord, or diminution or abatement of rent.

         38.02 No vaults, vault space or area, whether or not enclosed or
covered, not within the property line of the Building is leased hereunder,
anything contained in or indicated on any sketch, blue print or plan or anything
contained elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding. Landlord
makes no representation as to the location of the property line of the Building.
All vaults and vault space and all such areas not within the property line of
the Building, which Tenant may be permitted to use and/or occupy, is to be used
and/or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license be revoked,
or if the amount of such space or area be diminished or required by any federal,
state or municipal authority or public utility, Landlord shall not be subject to
any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or
abatement of rent, nor shall such revocation, diminution or requisition be
deemed constructive or actual eviction. Any tax, fee or charge of municipal
authorities for such vault or area shall be paid by Tenant.

                                      87

<PAGE>

         39.01 (a) For purposes of this Lease, the terms "2002 Option Space"
shall mean the entire seventh (7th), eight (8th) and/or ninth (9th) floors of
the 512 Building as shown on the floor plans annexed hereto as Exhibit H-1; the
"2008 Option Space" shall mean the entire tenth (10th) floor of the 512 Building
as shown on the floor plan annexed hereto as Exhibit H-2, and the "500 Option
Space" shall mean the portion of the twelfth (12th) and/or eleventh (11th)
floors of the 500 Building as shown hatched on the floor plans annexed hereto as
Exhibit H-3 hereof. The 2002 Option Space, 2008 Option Space and the 500 Option
Space are herein sometimes referred to collectively or individually as "Option
Space".

               (b) Provided Tenant is not, as of each of the date of the giving
of an Option Space Notice (as such term is herein defined) and the respective
"Inclusion Date" (as such term is herein defined), in default under this Lease
after notice and the expiration of applicable cure periods, and provided
Landlord has not given notice terminating this Lease as herein provided (the
giving of such notice, an "Event of Termination"), Tenant shall have the option
to add and include all or a portion of (except that a portion of a floor shall
include all of the Option Space on such floor) the 2002 Option Space, 2008
Option Space and the 500 Option Space, respectively, in the Demised Premises as
of the 2002-Year Inclusion Date, 2008-Year Inclusion Date or the 500-Year
Inclusion (as such terms are herein defined), as the case may be, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions of this Lease (except as otherwise set forth in
this Article 39) and to such additional terms and conditions as are hereinafter
set forth.

               (c) Each such option shall be exercised, if at all, by a written
notice (each such notice being herein called an "Option Space Notice") from
Tenant to Landlord, and received by Landlord not less than twelve (12) months
prior to the Applicable Expiration Date (each such date being herein called an
"Option Deadline"), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE with respect to the receipt by
Landlord of each such Option Space Notice on or before the applicable Option
Deadline. If Landlord does not receive an Option Space Notice pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 39 prior to the applicable Option Deadline, then
Tenant shall have no further rights under this Article 39 with respect to the
Option Space which would have been the subject of such Option Space Notice, and
Tenant shall have forever waived and relinquished its right under this Article
39 to such Option Space and Landlord shall at any and all times thereafter be
entitled to lease such Option Space to others at such rental and upon such terms
and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may desire. In the event
Landlord shall gain possession of the Option Space prior to the applicable
Option Deadline and the same is available for Tenant's occupancy, Landlord shall
notify Tenant of the same and the Option Space Notice from Tenant to Landlord
shall only be effective hereunder if received by Landlord within thirty (30)
days of such notice, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE. If Tenant exercises its rights
hereunder pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 39.01(c), then the
applicable Option

                                      88

<PAGE>

Space shall be included in the Demised Premises upon such space being available
for Tenant's occupancy and Landlord's completion of the work required to be
performed by it pursuant to Section 39.03 hereof. If Tenant exercises its rights
hereunder pursuant to the penultimate sentence of this Section 39.01(c), the
applicable Option Space shall be included in the Demised Premises sixty (60)
days after the later to occur of (i) Tenant's delivery of the notice required in
said sentence, and (ii) such space being available for Tenant's occupancy and
Landlord's completion of the work required to be performed by it pursuant to
Section 39.03 hereof.

               In the event Tenant elects to take only one (1) or two (2) of the
entire floors of the 2002 Option Space, Landlord shall have the right to
designate (in its sole discretion; provided that if Tenant elects to take two
(2) floors of the 2002 Option Space, same shall be contiguous) which of the one
(1) or two (2) floors, as applicable, will be included in the 2002 Option Space
and all of Tenant's rights under this Lease with respect to the remaining floors
comprising the 2002 Option Space shall expire, immediately, and without further
action or notice, upon Tenant's election of less than all three (3) floors
comprising the 2002 Option Space.

               The "Applicable Expiration Date" for each respective Option Space
shall mean as follows: (i) January 31, 2002 for all the floors comprising the
2002 Option Space, (ii) January 31, 2008 for the 2008 Option Space, (iii)
January 31, 2003 for the portion of the eleventh (11th) floor of the 500 Option
Space and (iv) January 31, 2008 for the portion of the twelfth (12th) floor of
the 500 Option Space. Landlord represents that (i) the aforesaid Applicable
Expiration Dates are the dates set forth in the respective existing leases of
the applicable Option Space for the expiration thereof, and (ii) there are no
existing rights superior to the rights granted to Tenant under this Article 39.
Landlord covenants that for so long as this lease is in effect, Landlord will
not grant any rights to lease the Option Space that are superior to the rights
granted under this Article 39.

               (d) For purposes hereof, (i) the term "2002-Year Inclusion Date"
shall mean the date on which the portion (or the entire, if applicable), of the
2002 Option Space set forth in Tenant's Option Space Notice applicable thereto
shall be available for Tenant's occupancy (as defined below), (ii) the Term
"2008-Year Inclusion Date" shall mean the date on which the entire 2008 Option
Space shall be available for Tenant's occupancy, and (iii) the term "500-Year
Inclusion Date" shall be the date on which the portion (or the entire, if
applicable) of the 500 Option Space set forth in Tenant's Option Space Notice
applicable thereto shall be available for Tenant's occupancy.

               The 2002 Inclusion Date, 2008 Inclusion Date and 500 Year

               For purposes of this Article 39, the term "available for Tenant's
occupancy" shall mean that the space in question is vacant and free of tenancies
and Landlord has completed the work required to be completed by it pursuant to
Section 39.03 hereof.

               (e) In the event Tenant shall give an Option Space Notice to
Landlord prior to the applicable Option Deadline as hereinabove provided, Tenant
shall be deemed to have irrevocably exercised its option to expand the Demised

respect to any Option Space in accordance with the provisions of subsection

Dates:

               (a) subject to Section 39.03 below, the applicable Option Space
shall be deemed added to and included in the Demised Premises for the period
commencing on the applicable Inclusion Date and ending on the Expiration Date
(as the same may be extended under this Lease). The inclusion of the applicable
Option Space shall be on all the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Lease and to such additional terms and conditions as are hereinafter set forth
in this Article 39;

               (b) with respect to the 2002 Option Space and 2008 Option Space,

be the 512 Building Area;

               (c) with respect to the 500 Option Space, Tenant's 500
Proportionate Share shall be increased by a fraction, expressed as a percentage,
the numerator of which shall be the number of rentable square feet included
within the applicable Option Space and the denominator of which shall be the 500
Building Area;

               (d) the term "Wage Rate Multiple" shall be increased by the
number of rentable square feet included within the applicable Option Space;

               (e) the security required to be maintained pursuant to Article 6
hereof shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount,
on a per rentable square foot basis, of the security then in place with respect
to the Demised Premises (not including the applicable Option Space), and (ii)
the total rentable square feet of the applicable Option Space. The security
added pursuant to this Section 39.02(e) shall be subject to reduction at the
same time, in the same manner and in the same proportion (i.e., on a percentage
basis) as the security then held under Article 6 hereof;

Lease;

                   (h) Landlord shall provide reasonable riser and shaft space
in the Building so as to permit Tenant to connect the applicable Option Space
with the remainder of the Demised Premises at locations designated by Landlord.

         39.03 Tenant agrees to accept all Option Space in their present "as-is"
condition and state of repair existing as of the date on which Tenant shall give
the applicable Option Space Notice to Landlord, subject to ordinary wear and
tear from the date thereof to the Inclusion Date and subject to the rights of
the then-existing Tenant, if any, to remove its alterations and installations
from the Option Space or to make additional alterations and installations,
except that Landlord at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall (to the extent
the following are not already complete) prior to the applicable Inclusion Date:

               (a) demolish portions of the Option Space other than core areas

               (b) remove asbestos in the Option Space in accordance with

supply any materials or incur any expense whatsoever to prepare the Option Space
for Tenant's occupancy.

         39.04 If Tenant exercises its rights under this Article 39, Landlord
shall use diligent efforts to gain possession of the applicable Option Space,
including institution of summary dispossess proceedings. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event the Inclusion
Date as to any Option Space does not occur within sixty (60) days after the
Applicable Expiration Date then, within ten (10) business days after the
expiration of such sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of
Tenant's election, at Tenant's sole option to either (y) accept vacant

recision shall become effective immediately upon the giving of such notice by
Tenant.

<PAGE>

         39.05 The expiration of this Lease or sooner termination of this Lease
shall also terminate and render void any option or election under this Article
39 whether or not the same shall have been exercised; and nothing contained in
this Article 39 shall prevent Landlord from exercising any right or action
granted to or reserved by Landlord in this Lease to terminate this Lease. No
option or election of or by Tenant set forth in this Article 39 may be severed
from this Lease or separately sold or assigned.

                                   ARTICLE 40

                                    Sublease

         40.01 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant
acknowledges that this Lease is a sublease of the Demised Premises and is
subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements
and provisions in the lease dated May 1, 1957 between Prudential Insurance
Company of America, as landlord and Landlord's predecessor-in-interest, as
tenant (the "Ground Lease"), and in the sublease dated June 27, 1958 between
500-512 Seventh Avenue Associates, as sublessor and Landlord's
predecessor-in-interest (the "Sandwich Lease") (such Ground Lease and Sandwich
Lease, as the same have been amended and assigned are hereinafter severally and
collectively called the "Superior Documents"). Landlord warrants and represents
that (i) nothing in the Superior Documents prohibits the making of this Lease or
the terms hereunder, (ii) nothing in the Ground Lease or the Sandwich Lease
materially and adversely affects the rights of Tenant under this lease other
than as may be set forth in Articles V, IX and XV of the Ground Lease, (iii)the
Superior Documents are in full force and effect, and (iv) the existing mortgage
on the 500 Land and the 512 Land is subordinate to the Superior Documents.

         40.02 Landlord and Tenant agree that there shall be no merger of the
estate created by this Lease with any other estate held by Landlord or an
affiliate of Landlord in the property of which the Demised Premises form a part
or any other interest of Landlord in the Demised Premises and the Building,
unless Landlord shall expressly elect to have such estates merge.

                                   ARTICLE 41

                                Extension Option

         41.01 Tenant shall have the option (the "Extension Option") to extend
the term of this lease for a term (the "Extension Term") of five (5) years to
commence on the date (the "Extension Term Commencement Date") next succeeding
the Expiration Date and to expire on the date (the "Extension Term Expiration
Date") which is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Expiration Date, which
Extension Option shall be exercised only by Tenant giving to Landlord notice
thereof (the "Extension Exercise Notice") on or before the date (the "Extension
Exercise Notice Date") which is twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date,
TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE.

                                      93

<PAGE>

         41.02 Notwithstanding anything contained in this lease to the contrary,
Tenant shall not have the Extension Option if on the date Tenant gives to
Landlord the Extension Exercise Notice or on the Extension Term Commencement
Date, (a) this lease is not in full force and effect, or (b) an Event of
Termination exists.

         41.03 In addition to the provisions of Section 40.02 above, and
notwithstanding anything contained in this lease to the contrary, the Extension
Option shall be deemed revoked, null and void, and of no further force or
effect, and the Extension Exercise Notice (or purported Extension Exercise
Notice) given in connection with Tenant's attempt to exercise the Extension
Option shall be ineffective and void ab initio as an Extension Exercise Notice:
(a) if Tenant fails to give the Extension Exercise Notice to Landlord on or
before the Extension Exercise Notice Date (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE) in the
manner hereinbefore provided, or (b) if at the time of the giving of the
Extension Exercise Notice, this lease is not in full force and effect, or there
exists an Event of Termination, or (c) if prior to the Extension Term
Commencement Date, this lease or the term hereof has ended, expired or is not
otherwise in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
lease which may be deemed to the contrary, if Tenant exercises the Extension
Option, but prior to the Extension Term Commencement Date, this lease or the
term hereof has ended, expired or is not otherwise in full force and effect as a
result of any Event of Default, then, solely for the purposes of calculating the
damages to which Landlord is entitled under Articles 25, 26 and 27 of this
lease, the term of this lease shall be deemed to have been extended by the
Extension Term, and the annual Extension Rent (as hereinafter defined) for the
Extension Term shall be deemed to be the fixed rent in effect on the last day of
the initial term of this lease, without taking into account any abatements
thereof under Article 22 hereof or otherwise.

         41.04 The Extension Term, if any, shall be upon, and subject to, all of
the terms, covenants and conditions provided in this lease for the initial term
hereof (including, without limitation, subsections 5.01(b) and 5.07(c)), except
that:

               (a) any terms, covenants, or conditions hereof that are expressly
or by their nature inapplicable to the Extension Term (including, without
limitation, Article 4 and this Article 40,) shall not apply during the Extension
Term; and

               (b) the annual fixed rent payable by Tenant during the Extension
Term (hereinafter referred to as the "Extension Rent") shall, subject to
adjustment as otherwise in this lease provided, be an amount equal to the
greater (i) the fair market rental value for the Demised Premises determined as
of the date occurring six (6) months prior to the Commencement Date of the
Extension Term (such date is hereinafter called the "FMV Determination Date")
and which determination shall be made within a reasonable period of time after
the occurrence of the FMV Determination Date pursuant to the provisions of
Section 41.06(d) hereof, or (ii) the product obtained by multiplying the
rentable square foot area of the Demised Premises by the fixed rent

                                      94

<PAGE>

and additional rent payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Article 5 hereof
for the last month of the initial term of this Lease on an annualized basis
(including the most recent rate of additional rent calculated on a monthly basis
payable pursuant to Article 5 hereof) with respect to the Demised Premises
(without giving effect to any abatements, set offs or concessions then in
effect) determined on a per rentable square foot basis. The fair market rental
value shall be calculated as of the Extension Term Commencement Date on the
basis of a new letting of the Demised Premises for the Extension Term for a term
of five (5) years (but taking into account the fact that the Base Tax Year and
the Base Operational Year are not changed). The amount which equals the fair
market rental value of the Demised Premises for the Extension Term is herein
referred to as the "FMV Amount."

         41.05 The initial determination of the FMV Amount shall be made by
Landlord. Landlord shall give notice (a "Rent Notice") to Tenant of the proposed
FMV Amount on or before the date which is six (6) months prior to the Extension
Term Commencement Date. The FMV Amount so determined by Landlord shall be deemed
conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless on or before the date (the "FMV
Dispute Outside Date") which is thirty (30) days after Landlord gives to Tenant
the Rent Notice, (a) Tenant gives to Landlord notice (the "Dispute Notice") that
Tenant disputes the FMV Amount so determined by Landlord, or (b) Landlord and
Tenant agree in writing (which agreement (an "FMV Agreement") shall be duly
executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant) upon the fixed rent for the
Extension Term. If Tenant sends to Landlord a Dispute Notice within the time and
in the manner hereinbefore provided, and if Landlord and Tenant fail to so agree
upon the fixed rent for the Extension Term, the FMV Amount for the Extension
Term shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 41.06 below.

         41.06 If Tenant gives to Landlord a Dispute Notice in respect of the
FMV Amount so determined by Landlord as provided in Section 41.05 above, and
Landlord and Tenant fail to execute and deliver an FMV Agreement on or before
the FMV Dispute Outside Date, then the FMV Amount for the Extension Term shall
be determined by arbitration as follows:

               (a) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an arbitrator by
written notice given to the other party hereto not later than thirty (30) days
after the FMV Dispute Outside Date. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to
appoint an arbitrator within such period of time and thereafter fails to do so
by written notice given within a period of five (5) days after notice by the
other party requesting the appointment of such arbitrator, then such arbitrator
shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the
branch office of which is located in or closest to the City and State of New
York), upon request of either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be;

               (b) the two (2) arbitrators appointed as above provided shall
attempt to reach an agreement as to the FMV Amount, and in the event that they
are unable to do so within thirty

                                      95

<PAGE>

(30) days after their joint appointment, then they shall appoint a third (3rd)
arbitrator by written notice given to both Landlord and Tenant, and, if they
fail to do so by written notice given within sixty (60) days after their
appointment, such third (3rd) arbitrator shall be appointed as above provided
for the appointment of an arbitrator in the event either party fails to do so;

               (c) all of such arbitrators shall be New York State licensed real
estate brokers having not less than ten (10) years experience in representing
owners or tenants in commercial leasing transactions in respect of first-class
office buildings in midtown Manhattan; and

               (d) the arbitrators, selected as aforesaid, forthwith shall
convene and render their decision in accordance with the then applicable rules
of the American Arbitration Association or its successor, which decision shall
be strictly limited to a determination of the FMV Amount (as defined in Section
41.04 above), within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second (2nd)
arbitrator or the third (3rd) arbitrator, as the case may be. The decision of
such arbitrators shall be in writing. If the first two (2) arbitrators appointed
as above provided reach an agreement as to the FMV Amount, said agreement shall
be the decision of the arbitrators. If a third (3rd) arbitrator is appointed as
above provided, then such decision of such third (3rd) arbitrator shall be
limited to a choice which is either the determination of the FMV Amount made by
the first arbitrator or the determination of the FMV Amount made by the second
arbitrator. Insofar as the same is in compliance with the provisions and
conditions of this Article, the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding
upon Landlord and Tenant. Duplicate original counterparts of such decision shall
be sent forthwith by the arbitrators by certified mail, return receipt
requested, to both Landlord and Tenant. The arbitrators, in arriving at their
decision, shall be entitled to consider all testimony and documentary evidence
that may be presented at any hearing, as well as facts and data which the
arbitrators may discover by investigation and inquiry outside such hearings. If,
for any reason whatsoever, a written decision of the arbitrators shall not be
rendered within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third (3rd)
arbitrator, then, at any time thereafter before such decision shall have been
rendered, either party may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York
or to any other court having jurisdiction and exercising the functions similar
to those now exercised by such court, by action, proceeding or otherwise (but
not by a new arbitration proceeding) as may be proper, to determine the question
in dispute consistently with the provisions of this lease. The cost and expense
of such arbitration, action, proceeding, or otherwise shall be borne equally by
Landlord and Tenant, but Landlord and Tenant shall each pay their own attorneys'
fees and disbursements and witnesses fees.

         41.07 If Tenant gives to Landlord a Dispute Notice in respect of the
FMV Amount so determined by Landlord as provided in Section 41.05, and the fixed
rent for the Extension Term shall not be finally determined pursuant to the
terms of Section 41.05 or 41.06 hereof on or before the Extension Term
Commencement Date, then:

                                      96

<PAGE>

               (a) The annual fixed rent payable by Tenant during the Extension
Term until the fixed rent for the Extension Term shall be so finally determined
shall, subject to adjustment as herein provided, be equal to the annual fixed
rent (and Tenant shall continue to pay the Tax Payment and porter's wage
payments), in effect on the last day of the initial term of this lease, without
taking into effect any abatement, offset or reduction (collectively, the
"Extension Minimum Rent"); and

               (b) If the fixed rent for the Extension Term, as finally
determined pursuant to the terms of Section 41.06 hereof, shall be greater than
the Extension Minimum Rent, then (i) the annual fixed rent payable by Tenant for
the balance of the Extension Term shall be and become the fixed rent as so
finally determined, and (ii) Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days after
Landlord's demand therefor, pay to Landlord an amount equal to the difference
between (x) the sum of the actual fixed rent payments paid to Landlord during
the Extension Term before such final determination and (y) the sum of the fixed
rent payments that would have been payable by Tenant if the fixed rent for the
Extension Term had been finally determined prior to Extension Term Commencement
Date. If the fixed rent for the Extension Term, as finally determined pursuant
to the terms of Section 41.06 hereof, shall be less than the Extension Minimum
Rent, then Landlord shall, within twenty (20) days after Tenant's demand
therefor, pay to Tenant and an amount equal to the difference between (x) the
sum of the actual fixed rent payments paid to Landlord during the Extension Term
before such final determination and (y) the sum of the fixed rent payments that
would have been payable by Tenant if the fixed rent for the Extension Term had
been finally determined prior to Extension Term Commencement Date.

         41.08 If, in accordance with and subject to, all of the terms,
covenants and conditions contained in this Article, the term of this lease is
extended for the Extension Term, then "Expiration Date," as such term is used in
this lease, shall mean the "Extension Term Expiration Date," and "term of this
lease" (and comparable words), shall mean the initial term of this lease, as
extended by the Extension Term. Notwithstanding anything which may be contained
in this lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation or duty, nor
shall Landlord be required, to perform Landlord's Work or any other work to the
Demised Premises or any portion thereof with respect to the Extension Term,
provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall affect
Landlord's obligations to perform the repairs that Landlord is expressly
required to make under this lease. Except as expressly set forth in this
Article, Tenant shall not have any option or right to extend or renew the term
of this lease.

                                  ARTICLE 42

                         Satellite Dish Installation

         42.01 For the period (the "Dish Term") commencing on the Commencement
Date and ending on the last day of the term of this lease, Tenant shall have the
right, in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Article, to
install, maintain, repair, use and operate on the

                                      97

<PAGE>

roof of the Building, at its sole cost and expense one (1) satellite dish (which
dish shall be used for receiving and transmitting for the sole use of Tenant)
and support equipment (such satellite dish and support equipment being
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Equipment"), which Equipment shall
be cabled to the Demised Premises through a riser reasonably designated by
Landlord and shall not penetrate the roof of the Building, for the exclusive use
by Tenant, subject to all of the applicable terms, covenants and provisions of
this lease, and subject to Landlord's prior written approval (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) including, without limitation,
approval as to location, which approval shall also be required for modifications
to the same. In connection with such installation, maintenance, repair, use and
operation (collectively, the "Dish Permitted Uses"), Tenant shall comply with
all laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all
governmental and quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction of or over
the installation, maintenance, repair, use, operation or removal of the
Equipment, or the use of the Roof Space (as hereinafter defined) or any other
portion of the Building (collectively, "Dish Laws"), regardless of whether such
compliance requires, at any time during the Dish Term, the making of alterations
to the Building (which alterations may only be made in accordance with, and
subject to, the applicable provisions of this Article) or other expenditures,
whether foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary or extraordinary. Tenant shall procure,
maintain and pay for all permits, certificates, consents, authorizations and
licenses required therefor, including all renewals thereof (collectively, "Dish
Permits"). All reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of
Landlord in connection with the Equipment, the Installation (as hereinafter
defined) and the Dish Permitted Uses, shall be reimbursed to Landlord, from time
to time, within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives to Tenant Landlord's
itemized invoice therefor, together with reasonable evidence of the amounts so
paid or incurred by Landlord.

         42.02 The portion of the roof of the Building on which the Equipment
is to be located, which portion shall be reasonably designated by Landlord so
as to permit the Equipment to be usable for its intended purpose, is herein
referred to as the "Roof Space." All applicable provisions of the lease
including, without limitation, those provisions relating to Tenant's
obligations to maintain, repair and insure the Demised Premises and to comply
with laws therein shall apply to Roof Space as if the same were part of the
Demised Premises. Tenant shall use the Roof Space for the Dish Permitted Uses,
as hereinbefore and hereinafter provided, and for no other purpose. Tenant
shall not make, or permit to be made, any alteration, installation,
improvement, substitution or addition to the Roof Space or any other portion of
the Building, except as expressly permitted under this Article.

         42.03 Before commencing the installation of the Equipment or any other
alterations, improvements, additions or other work or changes related thereto
(such installation and other alterations, improvements, additions and other work
and changes being hereinafter referred to as the "Installation"), Tenant, at its
sole cost and expense, shall prepare and submit to Landlord for Landlord's
approval, reasonably detailed plans and specifications therefor, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which approval shall be
deemed to have been

                                      98

<PAGE>

given if not denied by Landlord in writing within twelve (12) business days
after submission of said Tenant's Plans. The out-of-pocket cost and expense
reasonably incurred and/or paid by Landlord in connection with the review of
said plans and specifications (and all revisions thereto), and the inspection of
the work in respect thereof, by Landlord and Landlord's architects, engineers
and other consultants and professionals shall be reimbursed by Tenant to
Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord gives to Tenant Landlord's itemized
invoice therefor (together with reasonable evidence of the amounts so paid or
incurred by Landlord), Tenant agrees that neither Landlord's approval of plans
or specifications, nor its inspection of such work, nor its right to inspect
such work, shall impose upon Landlord any obligation or liability whatsoever
with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation or liability
that might arise as a result of such work not being performed in accordance with
applicable laws and requirements or with the plans and specifications approved
by Landlord or otherwise. Landlord may, as a condition of its approval, require
Tenant to make revisions in and to such plans and specifications. Tenant shall
not use, employ or retain any contractor or mechanic, or permit the use,
employment or retention of any subcontractor, that has not been first approved
by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         42.04 For the period commencing on the date Tenant shall have completed
the Installation of Equipment pursuant to this Article 42 until the Expiration
Date or such earlier date on which the Equipment shall be removed from the
Building pursuant to this Article 42, Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional
rent hereunder an amount equal to Thirty Six Thousand Dollars ($36,000) per
annum payable in the same manner as fixed rent.

         42.05 All of Tenant's obligations and liabilities under Article 11 of

maintenance, repair, operation and removal of the Equipment on the roof of the
Building or in any other part of the Building shall be at the sole risk of
Tenant. Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall repair any and all
damage to the roof of the Building and to any part of the Building caused by or
resulting from the installation, maintenance, repair, operation or removal of
the Equipment. Tenant shall pay Landlord reasonable costs and expenses paid or
incurred by Landlord as a result thereof, within thirty (30) days after Landlord
gives to Tenant Landlord's itemized invoice therefor, together with reasonable
evidence of the amounts so paid or incurred by Landlord.

               (b) In the manner provided in and subject to the provisions of
Article 21, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against
any and all actions, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages,
deficiencies, losses, judgments, suits, expenses and costs (including, without
limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) in connection with or
resulting from the Dish Permitted Uses or the presence or removal of the
Equipment or other use thereof. Tenant further covenants and agrees that the
Equipment and any related equipment erected or installed by Tenant pursuant to
the provisions of this Article shall be erected, installed, repaired, maintained
and operated by Tenant at the sole cost and expense of Tenant and without
charge, cost or expense to Landlord.

               (c) Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord has made no
representations or warranties as to whether the roof of the Building is suitable
for the installation, maintenance or operation of the Equipment, or whether the
Equipment can be used for its intended purpose.

         42.08 The parties agree that Tenant's use of the roof of the Building
is non-exclusive and Landlord may use, and/or permit any other person or entity
to use, any other portion of the Building for any purpose, including the
installation of other satellite dishes, antennae, generators and/or
communications systems, provided that such use does not interfere with the use
of the Equipment for the Dish Permitted Uses. Tenant shall not permit its use of
the roof of the Building, or the installation, operation, maintenance, repair or
removal of the Equipment, to impair, unreasonably interfere with or materially
adversely affect Landlord's or such other person's or entity's data transmission
and reception via their respective antennas or satellite dishes, and support
equipment, if any, or the operation or use of any of the Building's systems or
services. In no event shall the maximum level of microwave emissions from the
Equipment, when combined with all other microwave emissions from the Building,
exceed an amount equal to the total microwave emissions allowable for the
Building as determined by the governmental authorities having jurisdiction
thereof.

         42.09 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this,
Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any damage to, or to replace the
Equipment or any fixtures, furniture, furnishing, equipment or other property or
effects of Tenant related to the Equipment, except to the extent such repair is
necessitated by the act or omission of Landlord, its principals, officers,
agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees, agents or invitees. In no
event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any

                                     100

<PAGE>

portion of insurance proceeds or award for, or have any claim whatsoever against
Landlord or the condemning authority in connection with, any such damage,
destruction, acquisition or condemnation.

         42.10 Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, by operation of law, or
otherwise. assign or otherwise transfer its rights under this Article, or
underlet, sublet, or sublicense any of such rights, or any portion of the Roof
Space, except in connection with an assignment of this lease or subletting of
the entire Demised Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the rights
granted to Tenant pursuant to this Article, are granted exclusively for the
enjoyment of the Tenant (and permitted successors in interest and subtenants),
and for no other persons or entities and only during such time as such Tenant
(and permitted successors in interest) is the tenant under this lease and
occupies not less than two (2) full floors of the Demised Premises.

         42.11 The Equipment and related equipment installed by Tenant pursuant
to the provisions of this Article shall be and remain Tenant's property, and,
upon the expiration of the Dish Term, or such earlier date selected by Tenant,
shall be removed by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall
repair any damage to the roof of the Building, or any other portion or portions
of the Building caused by or resulting from said removal.

         42.12 Landlord, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Tenant,
may reasonably relocate the Equipment and related equipment to other areas of
the Building and roof thereof, which relocation shall be at Landlord's cost and
expense, which cost and expense shall include the removal of the Equipment and
related equipment, conduits and cables, the purchasing of materials and
equipment necessary for the relocation thereof and the reinstallation of the
Equipment and such related equipment, conduits and cables at such other location
on the roof as shall be designated by Landlord, which other location shall be no
less favorable for the reception and transmission of signals to and from the
Equipment as the previous location. Landlord shall perform the relocation so as
to minimize interference with the reception of and/or transmission of signals to
and from the Equipment (except as hereinafter provided). Landlord's right of
relocation shall be in addition to any and all of Landlord's other rights and
remedies available at law or in equity if the necessity therefor results from
any failure of Tenant to observe, perform or comply with any of the terms,
covenants or conditions contained in this Article. If the necessity of such
relocation results from such failure, then the cost and expense of such
relocation shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after
Landlord's demand therefor. If this lease terminates prior to the Expiration
Date, then Tenant, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from Landlord,
must remove the Equipment at its sole cost and expense.

         42.13 Landlord shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights
and obligations under this Article, separate and apart from its interest,
obligations and liabilities in, under and to this lease, to an entity
responsible for the management of the roof of the Building, or any other third
party, at any time.

                                     Plaque

         43.01 Landlord, at the request of Tenant and at the sole cost and
expense of Tenant (which reasonable cost and expense shall be reimbursed to
Landlord by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord's demand therefor),
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article and otherwise in
compliance with all laws and/or requirements of public authorities, shall
install a plaque containing Tenant's name and/or registered or official logo,
having a size of up to two feet (2') in height and up to four feet (4') in
width, and made of a material Landlord reasonably determines shall be in keeping
with the design and character of the Building lobby and in an appropriate
location of reasonable prominence as reasonably determined by Landlord.
Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall maintain the plaque during
the term (and any extensions thereof) or until earlier termination of this lease
and Tenant shall pay such reasonable costs and expenses (as additional rent)
within thirty (30) days after the date of notice from Landlord. In the event
that Landlord shall deem it necessary in its sole reasonable judgment because of
deterioration or damage to such plaque, Tenant shall replace such plaque with a
new plaque with the same specifications (unless otherwise approved by Landlord)
within thirty (30) days after the date of notice from Landlord. In the event
that it shall be necessary to remove Tenant's plaque in order to (x) make
repairs, alterations or improvements in, to or upon, the Building; or (y) comply
with any law or requirement of public authorities, then the Landlord shall have
the right to do so at Landlord's sole cost and expense, provided that (i) in the
case of a repair, alteration or improvement, or (ii) in the case of having to
comply with any law or requirement of a public authority if the applicable law
or requirement of public authority permits the plaque to be restored, same is
restored as promptly as is reasonably practicable. Landlord agrees that if
Landlord shall give any other tenant of the Building leasing less rentable space
than the Demised Premises the right to install or maintain a plaque in the lobby
of the Building larger than Tenant's plaque Landlord shall, if Tenant elects, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, replace its existing plaque in the Building with
a larger plaque the same size as the plaque of such other tenant.

         43.02 So long as the Tenant named herein shall be the Tenant under this
Lease and shall be in actual occupancy of the entire Demised Premises, if
Landlord shall grant to another tenant of the Building of equal or smaller size
than Tenant the right to install on the exterior of the Building a flagpole
flying a banner identifying such tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to
have installed and maintained, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, one flag pole
in an area designated by Landlord on the same side of the Building as the
flagpole granted to such other tenant of the Building, flying a banner reading
"iVillage" (such Flagpole and banner is hereinafter referred to as the
"Flagpole") on the exterior of the Building. The size, materials, design, color,
location and method of installation and affixation to the Building of the
Flagpole shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval provided that the
Flagpole and the installation thereof shall comply with laws. Landlord shall, at
Tenant's expense, remove the Flagpole on or before the Expiration Date or
earlier termination of this Lease or upon the removal of all other flagpoles
identifying all other tenants of the Building and upon such

                                     102

<PAGE>

removal Landlord shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense repair and restore any
damage to the Building resulting from the installation and/or removal of the
Flagpole. Landlord shall be permitted, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, to
remove the flagpole temporarily from time to time during the term of this Lease
for so long as may be reasonably necessary to comply with laws or make repairs,
installations or improvements or perform maintenance to the Building.

                            RULES AND REGULATIONS

                              ------------------

               1. The rights of tenants in the entrances, corridors and
elevators of the Building are limited to ingress to and egress from the tenants'
premises for the tenants and their employees, licensees and invitees, and no
tenant shall use, or permit the use of, the entrances, corridors, or elevators
for any other purpose. No tenant shall invite to the tenant's premises, or
permit the visit of, persons in such numbers or under such conditions as to
interfere with the use and enjoyment of any of the entrances, corridors,
elevators and other facilities of the Building by other tenants. Fire exits and
stairways are for emergency use only, and they shall not be used for any other
purpose by the tenants, their employees, licensees or invitees. No tenant shall
encumber or obstruct, or permit the encumbrance or obstruction of any of the
sidewalks, entrances, corridors, elevators, fire exits or stairways of the
Building. Subject to the terms of this lease, the Landlord reserves the right to
control and operate the public portions of the Building and the public
facilities, as well as facilities furnished for the common use of the tenants,
in such manner as it deems best for the benefit of the tenants generally.

               2. The Landlord may refuse admission to the Building outside of
ordinary business hours to any person not known to the watchman in charge or
not having a pass issued by Landlord or the tenant whose premises are to be
entered or not otherwise properly identified, and may require all persons
admitted to or leaving the Building outside of ordinary business hours to
register. Any person whose presence in the Building at any time shall, in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord, be prejudicial to the safety, character,
reputation and interests of the Building or of its tenants may be denied access
to the Building or may be ejected therefrom. In case of invasion, riot, public
excitement or other commotion, Landlord may prevent all access to the Building
during the continuance of the same, by closing the doors or otherwise, for the
safety of the tenants and protection of property in the Building. The Landlord
may require any person leaving the Building with any package or other object to
exhibit a pass from the tenant from whose premises the package or object is
being removed, but the establishment and enforcement of such requirement shall
not impose any responsibility on Landlord for the protection of any tenant
against the removal of property from the premises of the tenant. Landlord shall
have the right to inspect all freight objects or bulky matter brought into the
Building and to exclude from the Building all objects and matter which violate
any of the Rules and Regulations contained in or provided for by this Lease. The
Landlord shall, in no way, be liable to any tenant for damages or loss arising
from the admission, exclusion or ejection of any person (or package) to or from
the tenant's premises or the Building under the provisions of this rule.
Canvassing, soliciting or peddling in the Building is prohibited and every
tenant shall co-operate to prevent the same.

<PAGE>

               3. No tenant shall obtain or accept for use in its premises ice,
drinking water,  towel, barbering, boot blacking, floor polishing, lighting
maintenance, cleaning or other similar services from any persons not authorized
by Landlord in writing to furnish such services, provided that the charges for
such services by persons authorized by Landlord are not materially greater than
those being offered by other reputable third party providers of such services.

               4. No sign, advertisement or notice shall be displayed in or on
the windows or doors, or on the outside of any tenant's premises, or at any
point inside any tenant's premises where the same might be visible outside of
such premises, except that the name of the tenant and/or tenant's logo may be
displayed on the entrance door of the tenant's premises, and in the elevator
lobbies of the floors which are occupied entirely by any tenant, subject to
Landlord's reasonable approval of the size, color and design of such display and
if Landlord elects to perform such work Tenant shall pay Landlord for the
performance of such work.

               5. No awnings or other projections outside the windows or walls
of the Building shall be installed by any tenant, and only such window blinds as
are reasonably approved by Landlord shall be used in a tenant's premises. Tenant
shall not place bottles, parcels or other articles, or lettering visible from
the exterior, on the windows, windowsills or peripheral air conditioning
enclosures.

               6. No safe or other object whose weight exceeds the lawful load
for the area upon which it would stand shall be brought into or kept upon a
tenant's premises. If, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, it is necessary
to distribute the concentrated weight of any heavy object, the work involved in
such distribution shall be done at the expense of Tenant and in such manner as
Landlord shall reasonably determine. The moving of safes and other heavy objects
shall take place only outside of ordinary business hours upon previous notice to
Landlord, and the persons employed to move the same in and out of the Building
shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and, if so required by law, shall
hold a Master Rigger's license. Freight, furniture, business equipment,
merchandise and bulky matter of any description shall be delivered to and
removed from the premises only in the freight elevators and through the service
entrances and corridors, and only during hours and in a manner reasonably
approved by Landlord. Arrangements will be made by Landlord with any tenant for
moving large quantities of furniture and equipment into or out of the building.

               7. Intentionally Omitted

               8. No noise, including the playing of any musical instruments,
radio or television, which, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, might
disturb other tenants in the Building, shall be made or permitted by any tenant
and no cooking shall be done in the tenant's premises, except as permitted. No
dangerous, inflammable, combustible or explosive object or material shall be
brought into the Building by any tenant or with the permission of any tenant.

                                     C-2

in the Sublease of the Premises, hereby agree as follows:

               1. (a) Overlandlord exercises its rights to terminate the

performance of any of its material obligations

<PAGE>

under the Sublease after any required notice and beyond the applicable period of
grace (if any) set forth in the Sublease:

               (b) Subtenant shall not be joined as a party defendant in any
action or proceeding which may be instituted or taken by the Overlandlord for
the purpose of terminating the Overlease by reason of any default thereunder,
nor shall Subtenant be evicted from the Premises but nothing herein shall be
deemed to restrict or limit in any way Overlandlord's rights to terminate the
Overlease.

               (c) Subtenant's subleasehold estate in the Premises under the
Sublease shall not be terminated or disturbed and the Sublease shall continue in
full force and effect with respect to the Premises as a direct lease between
Subtenant and a Successor Landlord (as such term is hereafter defined) upon all
of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations of the Sublease except as
set forth in Paragraph 2 below.

               2. Subtenant shall attorn to Overlandlord or any successor to the
interest of Overlandlord in the Overlease and the Sublease shall continue, in
accordance with its terms, between Subtenant and Overlandlord or such successor
(Overlandlord or such successor being hereinafter sometimes referred to as
"Successor Landlord") except that (a) notwithstanding anything in the Sublease
to the contrary, the fixed rent payable under the Sublease during the remainder
of the term thereof shall be an amount equal to the fixed rent per square foot
that would have been payable under the Overllease by Tenant had the Overlease
not been terminated, and (b) in lieu of making payments in accordance with the
provisions of Section - of the Sublease, Subtenant shall make Tax Payments and
porter's wage payments (as defined in Article 5 of the Overlease) in accordance
with said Article 5 of the Lease as if the Lease had not been terminated
(prorated to reflect the space occupied by subtenant), and (c) notwithstanding
anything in the Sublease to the contrary, the consent or approval of
Overlandlord and/or any Successor Landlord shall be required under the Sublease
with respect to any circumstances requiring the consent or approval of Landlord
under the Overlease subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the
Overlease, and (d) and Paragraphs 3 and 9 hereof shall modify the Sublease.

               3. Successor Landlord shall not be (a) liable for any act or
omission of any prior landlord (including Sublandlord), (b) liable for the
return of any security deposit not actually received by Successor Landlord, (c)
subject to any offsets or defenses which Subtenant might have against any prior

Subtenant's occupancy.

               4. The Sublease shall be subject and subordinate to the Overlease
and to all of the terms, conditions and provisions thereof, and to any renewals,
extensions, modifications or replacements thereof.

               5. The foregoing provisions shall be self-operative. However,
Subtenant agrees to execute and deliver to Overlandlord or to any person to whom
Subtenant herein agrees to attorn such other instrument as either shall
reasonably request in order to effectuate said provisions.

               6. Subtenant certifies that there are no defaults on the part of
Sublandlord, that the Sublease is a complete statement of the agreement of the
parties thereto with respect to the letting of the Premises, that the Sublease
is in full force and effect and that all conditions to the effectiveness or
continuing effectiveness thereof required to be satisfied at the date hereof
have been satisfied.

               7. Subtenant will notify Overlandlord at the aforesaid address,
by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, of any default of
Sublandlord which would entitle Subtenant to cancel the Sublease or abate the
rent payable thereunder, and agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of the
Sublease, no notice of cancellation thereof, nor any abatement, shall be
effective unless Overlandlord has received the notice aforesaid and has failed
within thirty (30) days of the date thereof to cure, or, if the default cannot
be cured within thirty (30) days, has failed to commence and to diligently
prosecute the cure of Sublandlord's default which gave rise to such right of
cancellation or abatement, but nothing herein shall be deemed to require
Overlandlord to cure such default.

               8. Subtenant agrees that notice from Overlandlord shall have the
same effect under the Sublease as notice to Subtenant from the Sublandlord
thereunder and Subtenant agrees to be bound by such notice notwithstanding the
existence or nonexistence of a default under the Overlease or any dispute with
respect thereto between the Tenant under the Overlease and Overlandlord.

               9. Anything herein contained in the Sublease to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event that Overlandlord or a Successor Landlord shall
become Sublandlord under the Sublease, Overlandlord and such Successor Landlord
shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Overlandlord's or such
Successor Landlord's then interest in the Building and Subtenant shall look
exclusively to such interest of Overlandlord or such Successor Landlord in the
Building for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon
Overlandlord hereunder or under the Sublease, and Overlandlord and such

6.       PATENTS.

         6.1 No Obligation to Prosecute or Maintain Patents. CADUS shall not
have any obligation to prosecute or maintain CADUS Patents. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, CADUS shall not abandon any of the United States patent applications
constituting CADUS Patents set forth on Exhibit B until such time as (i) the
corresponding foreign patent application has been published or (ii) CADUS has
taken the appropriate steps with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
to dedicate such patent application to the public.

         6.2 Infringement. OSI shall give CADUS prompt written notice of any
claim or allegation received by it that the use of CADUS Technology constitutes
an infringement of a Third Party patent or patents. OSI shall have the primary
right to control the defense of any such claim against OSI with counsel of its
own choosing.

                                        8

<PAGE>

CADUS agrees to cooperate with OSI, at OSI's expense, in any reasonable manner
deemed by OSI to be necessary in defending such action. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, CADUS shall, in its own discretion and at its own cost, be entitled
to participate through counsel of its own choosing in any such action.

         6.3 Patent Enforcement.
                      (a)     With respect to any alleged infringement involving
a claim(s) of any patents covering CADUS Technology, CADUS shall have the first
right, but not the duty, to institute patent infringement actions against third
parties. If CADUS does not institute an infringement proceeding against an
offending third party, OSI shall have the right, but not the duty, to institute
such an action.

                      (b)     The costs and expenses of any action instituted
pursuant to this Section 6.3 (including fees of attorneys and other
professionals) shall be borne by the Party instituting the action, or, if the
Parties elect to cooperate in instituting and maintaining such action, such
costs and expenses shall be borne by the Parties in such proportions as they may
agree in writing. Each Party shall execute all necessary and proper documents
and take such actions as shall be appropriate to allow the other Party to
institute and prosecute such infringement actions (if such other Party has the
right to institute and prosecute such infringement actions pursuant to this
Section 6.3). Any award paid by Third Parties as a result of such an
infringement action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be paid to
the Party who instituted and maintained such action, or, if both Parties
instituted and maintained such action, such award shall be allocated among the
Parties in proportion to their respective contributions to the costs and
expenses incurred in such action, or as they may have otherwise agreed.
Notwithstanding the above, CADUS shall receive 25% of any such award by way of
settlement or otherwise after deducting legal and other reasonable expenses.

7.       TERM AND TERMINATION

         7.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective
Date and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated as provided in

         7.2 Termination by OSI. OSI may terminate this Agreement at any time by
giving CADUS thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination.

         7.3 Termination for Breach. Failure by either Party to comply with any
of the obligations contained in this Agreement shall entitle the other Party to
give to the defaulting Party notice specifying the nature of the default and
requiring it to cure such default. If such default is not cured within 30 days
after the receipt of such notice, the notifying Party shall be entitled, without
prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, in
addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate
this Agreement by giving written notice to take effect immediately upon delivery
of such notice. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement shall not
be affected in any way by its waiver or failure to take action with respect to
any previous default.

         7.4 Termination for Bankruptcy. CADUS may terminate this Agreement if,
at any time, OSI shall file in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or
regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or
for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee of OSI or of its assets, or if OSI proposes a written agreement of
composition or extension of its debts, or if OSI shall be served with an
involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such
petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days

                                       10

<PAGE>

after the filing thereof, or if OSI shall propose or be a party to any
dissolution or liquidation, or if OSI shall make an assignment for the benefit
of creditors.

         7.5 No Termination in Event of CADUS Bankruptcy. CADUS and OSI
acknowledge that this Agreement and the license granted herein comes within
Section 365(n) of Title 11, United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). CADUS
acknowledges that if CADUS, as a debtor in possession, or a trustee in
bankruptcy in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, rejects the Purchase Agreement
or this Agreement, OSI may elect to retain its rights under this Agreement as
provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code. Upon written request of OSI
to CADUS or the bankruptcy trustee, CADUS shall not interfere with the rights of
OSI as provided in this Agreement.

         7.6 Survival of Certain Provisions. The following provisions of this
Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement: Sections 2.1, 3.5,
4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 8, 9, 10 and 11.

8.       DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         8.1 Dispute Resolution. If one of the Parties hereto declares that a
dispute between the Parties has arisen related to this Agreement, such dispute
shall, in the first instance, be the subject of good faith negotiations between
the Parties to resolve such dispute. Should the negotiations not lead to a
settlement of the dispute within thirty (30) days of the date of the meeting,
the Parties shall refer the dispute to a mutually acceptable mediation service
to resolve the dispute. The mediation shall be attended by individuals from
within each Party who have decision-making authority with respect to the matter
in question. If the mediation does not lead to a settlement of the dispute
within thirty (30) days of the date of the meeting, then the Parties shall
submit the issue to arbitration before a panel of arbitrators under the
commercial rules of the

                                       11

<PAGE>

American Arbitration Association. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the
arbitration will be held in New York, New York. The panel of arbitrators shall
consist of three parties: one selected by each Party, as well as a disinterested
third party that the two arbitrators shall name. The third arbitrator shall be a
person who has had experience in the business of biotechnology licensing. If a
qualified person in this field cannot be found and agreed upon, the two
arbitrators shall use their own discretion and select a third arbitrator with
qualifications as they deem appropriate. The three arbitrators shall be given
full power to hear and finally determine and dispose of all disputes between the
parties that may arise from or that are related to this Agreement. The
arbitrator will make their ruling in writing no later than thirty (30) days
after the hearing. The decision of two of the three arbitrators will be binding
on the Parties. No Party has a right to appeal the ruling, to any court or
otherwise. Judgment upon the decision rendered may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court of a judicial
acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Each
Party shall pay its own attorney's fees. All fees and expenses payable with
respect to the mediation and arbitration proceedings shall be shared by both
Parties during the course of the mediation and arbitration proceedings, but, in
the case of arbitration, shall be reimbursed in favor of the prevailing Party
after the arbitration ruling is rendered. Notwithstanding this Section 8.1,
CADUS shall have the right to seek injunctive relief pursuant to Section 11.12
hereof.

9.       INDEMNITY, INSURANCE AND REPRESENTATIONS

         9.1 Indemnity. OSI agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend CADUS,
its directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all claims, suits,

from or arising out of the exercise of this license, including from OSI's use,
storage or disposal

                                       12

<PAGE>

of the Covered Material or manufacture, distribution or sale or Product(s),
unless such losses, damages, costs, fees and expenses arise from the use of
CADUS Technology constituting an infringement of a Third Party patent or
patents. CADUS shall not be responsible for the negligence or intentional
wrongdoing of OSI.

         9.2 Insurance. At the time of its sale of Product(s), OSI shall
maintain in force at its sole cost and expense, with reputable insurance
companies, general liability insurance and products liability insurance coverage
that names CADUS as a beneficiary and protects against liability under Section
9.1 above in such amount as is customary in the industry. CADUS shall have the
right to ascertain from time to time that such coverage exists, such right to be
exercised in a reasonable manner.

         9.3 Warranties and Representations. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a representation or warranty by CADUS of the validity of any of the
CADUS Patents or the accuracy, safety, efficacy or usefulness for any purpose of
any technology licensed hereunder. CADUS shall have no obligation, express or
implied, to supervise, monitor, review or otherwise assume responsibility for
the production, manufacture, testing, marketing or sale of any Product(s), and
CADUS shall have no liability whatsoever to OSI or any Third Parties for or on
account of any injury, loss or damage, of any kind or nature, sustained by, or
any damage assessed or asserted against, or any other liability incurred by or
imposed upon OSI, its affiliates or sublicensees, or any other person or entity
arising out of or in connection with or resulting from: (i) the production, use
or sale of any Product(s); (ii) the use of any CADUS Technology; or (iii) any
advertising or other promotional activities with respect to any of the
foregoing.

matter in confidence have been exhausted.
