         2. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Second Amendment
is incorrectly dated. The date of the Second Amendment is hereby amended such

         3. Section 13.07 of the Lease is hereby amended by deleting "thirty
(30)" in the last sentence of the paragraph and substituting "twenty (20)" in
lieu thereof and by adding the following:

                  "In the event a mechanic's lien (the "Lien") is filed,
                  Landlord shall have the right and option, in its sole
                  discretion, to (i) draw and apply a portion of the Letter of
                  Credit in the full amount of the Lien, plus twenty (20%)
                  percent (the "Lien Amount"), or (ii) deduct from Tenant's
                  remaining Construction Payment the Lien Amount. In addition to
                  any right or remedy Landlord may have under the Lease,
                  Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the
                  Lien by applying the Lien Amount drawn and held by Landlord in
                  accordance with the preceding sentence to the amount claimed
                  to be due under the Lien or by procuring the discharge of the
                  Lien by deposit or bonding proceedings, and in any such event
                  Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so elects, to compel
                  the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of the Lien
                  by the lienor and to pay, for Tenant's account and subject to
                  reimbursement thereof, as hereinafter provided, the amount of
                  the judgment in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and
                  allowances. Tenant hereby agrees to reimburse and to pay to
                  Landlord on demand, as additional rent, all costs and
                  expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's
                  fees, incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together
                  with interest at the Interest Rate from the respective dates
                  of Landlord's notice to Tenant of the making of the payment or
                  the incurring of the cost and expense, including such
                  attorney's fees. Tenant further agrees that in the event that
                  Landlord applies or retains any portion of the Letter of
                  Credit, as set forth in subparagraph (i) above, the amount not
                  so used, applied or retained shall continue to be treated as
                  Tenant's security under this Lease, and Tenant shall restore
                  the amount so applied or retained in accordance with Section
                  6.01 of this Lease, so that at all times the amount deposited
                  shall be $8,474,380.10. The Lien Amount shall be held by
                  Landlord in escrow and in the event Landlord elects not to
                  discharge the Lien in accordance with the provisions of this
                  Section 13.07, Tenant shall discharge the Lien in accordance
                  with this Lease and Landlord shall return or credit (as
                  applicable) the Lien Amount upon discharge of the Lien, less
                  any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord,
                  including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees. In
                  the event Landlord elects to discharge the Lien in accordance
                  with the provisions of this Section 13.07, Landlord agrees to
                  refund, within five (5) Business Days of such discharge, any
                  portion of the Lien Amount remaining, if any, after
                  discharging the Lien and after reimbursement of Landlord's
                  costs and expenses, including, without limitation reasonable
                  attorneys fees, in connection with such discharge."

         4. Section 25.02(b) of the Lease is hereby amended by adding the
following after the word "necessary" in the last line of Section 25.02(b):

                  "; notwithstanding the foregoing, the cure period set forth in
                  this Section 25.02(b) with respect to a default under Section
                  13.07 hereof shall be twenty (20) days only (as opposed to
                  thirty days as provided herein)"

         5. Each party hereto covenants, warrants and represents to the other
party that it has had no dealings, conversations or negotiations with any broker
concerning the execution and delivery of this Amendment. Each party hereto
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party against and from
any claims for any brokerage commissions and all costs, expenses and liabilities
in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements, arising out of its respective representations and
warranties contained in this Paragraph 5 being untrue.

         6. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, the terms and
conditions of the Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any
change or modification and shall apply for the balance of the term of the Lease
as hereby extended and are hereby ratified and confirmed. In the event of a
conflict between the terms of the Lease and the terms of this Amendment, the
terms of this Amendment shall govern.

         7. This Amendment shall not be altered, amended, changed, waived,
terminated or otherwise modified in any respect or particular, and no consent or
approval required pursuant to this Amendment shall be effective, unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party to be charged.

         8. This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and permitted assigns.

         9. All prior statements, understandings, representations and agreements
between the parties, oral or written, are superseded by and merged in this
Amendment, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement between them
in connection with this transaction and which is entered into after full
investigation, neither party relying upon any statement, understanding,
representation or agreement made by the other not embodied in this Amendment.

         10. This Amendment shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York without reference to principles of conflicts
of laws.

         11. If any provision of this Amendment shall be unenforceable or
invalid, the same shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Amendment
and to this end the provisions of this Amendment are intended to be and shall be
severable. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if (i) any provision of this
Amendment is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable or invalid in whole or in part, (ii) the opportunity for all
appeals of such determination have expired, and (iii) such unenforceability or
invalidity alters the substance of this Amendment (taken as a whole) so as to
deny either party, in a material way, the realization of the intended benefit of
its bargain, such party may terminate this Amendment within thirty (30) days
after the final determination by notice to the other. If such party so elects to
terminate this Amendment, then this Amendment shall be terminated and neither
party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder,
except those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this
Amendment.

EITHER PARTY IN CONNECTION HEREWITH (INCLUDING ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL
THIS AMENDMENT ON THE GROUNDS THAT THIS AMENDMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS
OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE).

not necessary that all parties sign all or any one of the counterparts, but each
party must sign at least one counterpart for this Amendment to be effective.

         2.2      PURCHASER REPORTING OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a)      [Intentionally omitted].

         2.3 COMPANY REPURCHASE RIGHTS; DISPOSITION OBLIGATION. In the event
that any acquisition of Voting Securities by the Investor Group should cause the
Investor Group Interest to exceed the Maximum Interest:

                  (a) The Company or its designee shall have the right, but
shall not be required, to purchase from the Investor Group, and the Investor
Group shall have the obligation to sell, such number of Voting Securities owned
by the Investor Group as is necessary to reduce the Investor Group Interest to
the Maximum Interest. The exercise of such right by the Company shall require a
Consenting Vote. Any Voting Securities purchased by the Company pursuant to this
Section shall be purchased for cash at a price per share equal to the lowest of:

                           (i) the average cost per share to the Investor Group
of the Voting Securities being purchased (it being conclusively presumed that
the Voting Securities last acquired which exceeded the Maximum Interest are the
Voting Securities being purchased);

                           (ii) the average of the closing price for the
Company's Common Stock on a national stock exchange or automated quotation
system for the ten (10) consecutive trading days preceding the date on which the
Company or its designee gives written notice to Purchaser of its intent to
exercise its option under this Section; or

                           (iii) the closing price for the Company's Common
Stock on a national stock exchange or automated quotation system on the last
trading day preceding the date on which the Company or its designee gives
written notice to Purchaser of its intent to exercise its option under this
Section. This right is exercisable by the Company's delivery of written notice
to Purchaser, within thirty (30) days after the Company first learns of such
violation, specifying the number of Voting Securities to be purchased, the date
on which said purchase shall occur (which date shall be not more than thirty
(30) days after the date on which such notice was delivered to Purchaser) and
the place designated for such transaction to take place.

                  (b) The Company shall have the right, but shall not be
required, to require the Investor Group, and the Investor Group shall have the
obligation to sell or transfer as soon as practicable and in compliance with all
applicable securities laws, such number of Voting Securities owned by the
Investor Group as is necessary to reduce the Investor Group Interest to the
Maximum Interest so as to not be in violation of Section 2.1(a). This right is
exercisable by the Company's delivery of written notice to Purchaser, within
thirty (30) days after the Company first learns of such violation. In the event
the Company exercises such right, the sale or transfer of such number of Voting
Securities owned by the Investor Group necessary to reduce the Investor Group
Interest to the Maximum Interest shall be effected only in ordinary brokerage
transactions, or in private block trades approved by Consenting Vote, provided,
however, that (i) the selling member of the Investor Group shall inform the
Company of such sale or transfer of Voting Securities, prior to effecting it,
and (ii) Purchaser will use its reasonable efforts to effect or to cause the
sale or transfer in a manner which will effect the broadest possible
distribution with no sales or transfers to any one person or group within the
meaning of the Exchange Act in excess of one percent (1%) of the
then-outstanding Voting Securities. The exercise of such right by the Company
shall require a Consenting Vote.

         The rights contained in this Section 2.3 shall not be deemed to be the
exclusive remedies for acquisition of Voting Securities resulting in the
Investor Group Interest exceeding the Maximum Interest in violation of Section
2.1(a), nor shall such right be deemed to prejudice, or to operate as a waiver
of, any remedy contained in Section 6.1, or any other remedy to which the
Company may be entitled at law or in equity.

                                   ARTICLE III
                               VOTING OBLIGATIONS

         3.1 VOTING OBLIGATIONS. For so long as the Investor Group holds a
Minimum Interest:

             (a) QUORUM OBLIGATION. Purchaser agrees, as a stockholder, and
shall cause each member of the Investor Group to so agree, to be present in
person or to be represented by proxy at all stockholder meetings of the Company
so that all Restricted Block Voting Securities owned by the Investor Group may
be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such
meetings with respect to those matters as to which Purchaser agrees to vote its
shares in Section 3.1(b).

             (b) VOTING OF SHARES. Purchaser, as a stockholder, may vote the
Unrestricted Block in its sole discretion. Purchaser agrees, as a stockholder,
and shall cause each member of the Investor Group to so agree, to vote or cause
to be voted the Restricted Block in the manner recommended to stockholders by
Consenting Vote on any vote submitted to the stockholders for vote or action by
written consent including, without limitation, any stockholder rights plan
approved by Consenting Vote.

to acquire the Purchase Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement), the Company agrees as follows:

in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company's Board will be fixed at ten
(10) persons and the Company will cause the following appointments to be made:

                           (i) Three (3) Investor Group Designees shall be

separate class of directors.

                           (ii) One (1) Investor Group Designee appointed to the
Board pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i) shall be appointed to the Company's
nominating committee.

                           (iii) One (1) Investor Group Designee appointed to
the Board pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i) shall be appointed to the Company's
compensation committee.

                           (iv) Five (5) Independent Directors shall be
appointed to the Board.

Thereafter, during the term of this Agreement and for so long as the Investor
Group holds at least a Minimum Interest and subject to Sections 3.2(b) and 3.3,
(i) the Company's nominating committee shall recommend to the Board that the
Investor Group Designees be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the
Board to the stockholders for election as directors at each annual meeting of
stockholders for which an election is held for such class of directors, (ii) the
total size of the Board shall be fixed at ten (10) persons, (iii) one (1)
Investor Group Designee appointed to the Board pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or
3.2(b) shall be appointed to each of the Company's nominating committee (which
committee shall be set at three (3) members consisting of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, an Investor Group Designee, and an Independent Director
appointed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer) and compensation committee
and (iv) in connection with each annual meeting, the Company's nominating
committee shall recommend to the Board a slate of nominees which, if elected at
such annual meeting, would conform with the requirements of the composition of
the Board to be in effect upon the Closing, and the Board shall recommend such
slate to the stockholders. In the event that any of such Investor Group
Designees shall cease to serve as a director for any reason, the vacancy
resulting thereby shall be filled according to the procedures described in the
previous sentence.

                  (b) BOARD NOMINEES. During the Term of this Agreement and for
so long as the Investor Group holds a Minimum Interest, the Investor Group may
recommend to the Company's nominating committee and the Company's nominating
committee shall recommend to the Board, the number of Investor Group Designees
determined in the manner described below. Such Investor Group Designees shall be
included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board to the stockholders
for election as directors at each annual meeting of stockholders for which an
election is held for such class of directors.

                           (i) For so long as the Investor Group owns at least
eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Equity Stake, the Investor Group may
recommend three (3) Investor Group Designees, each to be recommended and
nominated upon the expiration of the term of each Investor Group Designee
appointed pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i) or elected subsequent to nomination
under this Section 3.2(b). If, at any time during the Term of this Agreement,
the Investor Group shall hold at least sixty-six percent (66%) but less than
eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Equity Stake, immediately upon such
occurrence the Investor Group shall cause all the Investor Group Designees
serving on the Board in excess of the number of Investor Group Designees
described in Section 3.2(b)(ii) to resign from the Board, effective as of the
date of such occurrence. In the event that more than one Investor Group Designee
shall be required to resign pursuant to this Section, the order of resignation
shall proceed beginning with the most recently elected or appointed Investor
Group Designee and proceeding to the next most recently elected or appointed
Investor Group Designee;

                                       6

<PAGE>

                           (ii) For so long as the Investor Group owns at least
sixty-six percent (66%) but less than eighty percent (80%) of the Initial Equity
Stake, the Investor Group may name two (2) Investor Group Designees, each to be
recommended and nominated upon the expiration of the term of each Investor Group
Designee appointed pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i) or elected subsequent to
nomination under this Section 3.2(b). If, at any time during the Term of this
Agreement, the Investor Group shall hold at least a Minimum Interest but less
than sixty-six percent (66%) of the Initial Equity Stake, immediately upon such
occurrence the Investor Group shall cause all the Investor Group Designees
serving on the Board in excess of the number of Investor Group Designees
described in Section 3.2(b)(iii) to resign from the Board, effective as of the
date of such occurrence. In the event that more than one Investor Group Designee
shall be required to resign pursuant to this Section, the order of resignation
shall proceed beginning with the most recently elected or appointed Investor
Group Designee and proceeding to the next most recently elected or appointed
Investor Group Designee;

                           (iii) If the Investor Group owns less than sixty-six
percent (66%) of the Initial Equity Stake, the Investor Group may name one (1)
Investor Group Designee.

                  (c) TERMINATION OF REPRESENTATION. If, at any time during the
Term of this Agreement, the Investor Group shall hold Voting Securities
representing less than a Minimum Interest, immediately upon such occurrence the
Investor Group shall cause all Investor Group Designees serving on the Board to
resign from the Board, effective as of the date of such occurrence.

                  (d) REVIVAL. If, at any time during the Term of this
Agreement, the number of Voting Securities held by the Investor Group shall
increase in excess of any of the percentages indicated in Section
3.2(b)(i)-(iii) (but in no event in excess of the Maximum Interest), the
Investor Group may name such additional Investor Group Designees as may be
provided by Sections 3.2(b)(i)-(iii). Each additional Investor Group Designees
shall be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board to the
stockholders for election as directors at the next annual meeting of
stockholders.

         3.3 BOARD EXPANSION FOLLOWING CERTAIN SUBSEQUENT SHARE ISSUANCES.

                  (a) Promptly after the occurrence of a 20% Share Issuance, and
upon the request of the Company, Purchaser agrees, and shall cause each member
of the Investor Group and each Investor Group Designee to agree, to cooperate
with the Company and to take all action reasonably necessary to increase the
size of the Board to eleven (11) and to fill the vacancy resulting therefrom
with an Independent Director approved by a Consenting Vote.

with the Company and to take all action reasonably necessary to increase the
size of the Board to twelve (12) and to fill the two (2) vacancies resulting

                              TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

         4.1 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. For so long as the Investor Group shall
own Voting Securities representing at least the Minimum Interest, Purchaser
shall not Transfer any Voting Securities, except certain permitted transactions
made in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3 or Transfers made to members of the
Investor Group, provided, that any proposed transferee that is a member of the
Investor Group must, as a condition to such Transfer, agree to be bound by the
restrictions of this Article 4, and, provided further, that if Purchaser ceases
to own, directly or indirectly, securities representing at least 80% of the
aggregate voting power of all voting securities issued by any such member of the
Investor Group or if Purchaser ceases to control, directly or indirectly, the
management or policies of any such member of the Investor Group (whether through
ownership of securities, partnership or membership interests, by contract or
otherwise), then in either such case, any Transfers to such member of the
Investor Group will automatically and without further action be rescinded and
nullified and the member of the Investor Group will be stripped of any ownership
or voting rights relating to any Voting Securities and will be irrevocably
obligated promptly to Transfer any and all Voting Securities held by it to
Purchaser unless such transfer would be permitted pursuant to Section 4.3.

         4.2 CONSENT REQUIRED FOR CERTAIN TRANSFERS. Except in the case of
Transfers to Investor Group members as permitted by Section 4.1 or in the case
of Transfers permitted by Section 4.3, Purchaser must obtain a Consenting Vote
to any proposed Transfer of any Voting Securities by Purchaser or any Investor
Group member. The Company may refuse to grant or may withhold its consent to any
such proposed Transfer of Voting Securities in its sole and absolute discretion,
and also in its sole and absolute discretion may condition its consent to any
such proposed Transfer of Voting Securities on agreements of either or both the
Purchaser and the proposed transferee, including (by way of example and not
limitation), an agreement of the proposed transferee to be bound by any or all
of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement or of the Purchaser to be
jointly and severally liable with the proposed transferee for any breach or
violation of this Agreement by such proposed transferee.

         4.3 PERMITTED TRANSACTIONS. The provisions of Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of
this Agreement shall not pertain or apply to:

                  (a) Any pledge of any Voting Securities made by a member of
the Investor Group pursuant to a bona fide loan transaction which creates a mere
security interest;

                  (b) Any repurchase of any Voting Securities by the Company;

                  (c) Any bona fide gift of any Voting Securities by a member of
the Investor Group;

<PAGE>

Securities to a transferee which transfer shall not cause the transferee to hold
a Minimum Interest or more after giving effect to such transfer;

                  (e) Any sale or transfer of any Voting Securities pursuant to
a tender offer or exchange approved by Consenting Vote; and

connection with a merger or consolidation in which the Company is acquired, or
the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets which, in either
case, is approved by Consenting Vote;

provided, however, in each case (other than Sections 4.3(b), 4.3(d), 4.3(e) and
4.3(f)), that (i) the transferring member of the Investor Group shall inform the
Company of such pledge, transfer or gift of Shares, at least five (5) days prior
to effecting it, and (ii) the pledgee, transferee or donee shall furnish the
Company and the Investor Group with a written agreement to be bound by and
comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement.

expiration of its term by mutual written consent of the Company and the
Purchaser. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Investor Group
shall cause all the Investor Group Designees serving on the Board to resign from
the Board, effective as of the date of such termination. The resulting vacancies
on the Board shall be filled in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Company's Bylaws.

                                   ARTICLE VI
