     and Landlord is willing to do the same on the terms and conditions
     hereinafter set forth;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as
follows:

I.   PREMISES. Section 1.A.(ii) is amended to provide that the Premises are
     located entirely in One Riverside Center, Two Riverside Center and Three
     Riverside Center. In addition, Section I.C. of the Lease is hereby deleted
     in its entirety and replaced by the following Section I.C.:

     I.C. "Premises" shall mean (i) the area shown on EXHIBITS A, A-1, A-2, A-3
     AND A-4 to the Lease and identified as Suites #1-100, #1-200, #1-300,

     deemed to be approximately 348,460 square feet, consisting of 223,300
     square feet in One Riverside Center (sometimes referred to as the "One
     Riverside Center Premises") and 47,146 square feet in Two Riverside Center
     (sometimes referred to as the "Two Riverside Center Premises") and 78,014
     square feet in Three Riverside Center (sometimes referred to as the Three
     Riverside Center Premises"). Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord
     has determined the location of the building management office on the first
     floor of Two Riverside Center as shown on EXHIBIT A-3 to the Lease. All
     corridors and restroom facilities located on floors one, two and three of
     One Riverside Center, floor two of Two Riverside Center, floor four of
     Three Riverside Center and any other floors leased by Tenant in their
     entirety (other than the first floor of Three Riverside Center) shall be
     considered part of the Premises. The total Rentable Square Footage of the
     Premises and of the Building has been determined from the approved permit
     set of construction drawings, without field measurement, based upon the
     1996 BOMA standard of measurement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord,
     at its sole cost and expense within six (6) months following the
     Substantial Completion (hereinafter defined) of the Base Building Work
     (hereinafter defined), shall cause the Rentable Square Footage of the
     Premises, the Rentable Square Footage of the Building and the Rentable
     Square Footage of the First Expansion Space (defined in Section IV of
     Exhibit E) to be field measured by an architect retained by Landlord. If,
     as a result of such field measurement, it is determined that the Rentable
     Square Footage of the Premises, First Expansion Space or the Rentable
     Square Footage of the Building has been misstated by more than 1%, Landlord
     and Tenant shall promptly enter into an amendment to this Lease to restate
     the Rentable Square Footage of the Building, First Expansion Space, and/or
     the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises, as the case may be, to reflect
     the actual

                                       1

     square footage pursuant to the field measurement. If such field measurement
     does not disclose a variance of 1% or more, any variance that is disclosed
     shall be considered by Landlord and Tenant to be immaterial and shall not
     result in an amendment of the Rentable Square Footage of the Building,
     First Expansion Space, and/or the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises,
     as the case may be. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the amendment of
     the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises will affect the Base Rent,
     Allowance (hereinafter defined), the Architectural and Engineering
     Allowance (hereinafter defined), Three Riverside Center Premises Allowance
     (hereinafter defined), the Three Riverside Center Premises Architectural
     and Engineering Allowance (hereinafter defined) as such amounts are
     determined on a "per square foot" basis. Landlord and Tenant further
     acknowledge that the amendment of either the Rentable Square Footage of the
     Premises or the Rentable Square Footage of the Building will affect
     Tenant's Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined)."

     POSSESSION. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord is only
     obligated to perform Base Building Work in the Three Riverside Center

     thereof, the terms and conditions of sections III.A through III.E of the

     occupancy of the Three Riverside Center Premises as more particularly set
     forth below and in Section III.C. below ("Punchlist Items"), (ii) subject
     to the completion of Punchlist Items, the Base Building Work in the Common

     installation of all elevators and stairways and the installation of all
     heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, fire/life safety, sanitary, water

     Landlord and Tenant shall conduct a walk through of the Three Riverside
     Center Premises for the purpose of preparing a list of Punchlist Items with
     respect to the Base Building Work in the Three Riverside Center Premises.
     Subject to the completion of any Punchlist Item, latent defects, and
     necessary corrections and adjustments to seasonal items such as heating and

     Riverside Center Premises for the purpose of performing the Initial

     Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for any days of possession before
     the Three Riverside Center Commencement Date unless Tenant shall be
     actively using the Three Riverside Center Premises for the conduct of
     Tenant's business. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
     Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have access to each portion of the Three
     Riverside Center Premises for the purpose of performing Initial Alterations
     following the later to occur of the execution of this First Amendment and,
     with respect to the Terminable Space, the satisfaction of the Contingency.

     letter of credit for the additional $2,445,311.00 (i.e. $10,922,311.00 -

     acknowledge that the increased amount of the Security Deposit set forth
     above, as well as the Security Deposit and reduction amounts set forth

     Commencement Date (i.e. the expiration of the 3rd lease year), the amount
     of the Security Deposit shall reduce from $10,992,311.00 to $8,582,758.00
     effective as of the 3rd anniversary of the Commencement Date. If the
     Security Deposit is provided by Tenant in the form of cash, Landlord shall
     return the reduced portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within thirty
     (30) days following the 3rd anniversary of the Commencement Date. If the
     Security Deposit is provided in the form of a letter of credit, such
     reduction shall be accomplished by having Tenant provide Landlord with a
     substitute letter of credit in the reduced amount. If the Security Deposit
     is provided through a combination of cash and letter of credit, Tenant, by
     written notice to Landlord, shall advise Landlord as to the method that
     will be used to effectuate the reduction of the letter of credit.

     D. In addition to the reduction of the Security Deposit described in
     Section VI.C. above, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be subject to
     further reduction effective as of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th anniversaries
     of the Commencement Date (each referred to as an "Anniversary Date") as
     follows:

     1) If Tenant reported a profit for the 4 consecutive quarters immediately
     preceding the applicable Anniversary Date, the amount of the Security
     Deposit shall reduce by $1,560,502.00 effective as of such Anniversary
     Date. Such reduction shall be accomplished in the manner referred to in
     Section VI.C. above, provided that Landlord shall not be required to refund
     any portion of the Security Deposit or to accept a substitute letter of
     credit unless and until Tenant has provided Landlord with audited financial
     statements evidencing that Tenant is entitled to a reduction of the
     Security Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof.

     2) If Tenant did not report a profit for the 4 consecutive quarters
     immediately preceding the applicable Anniversary Date but did report a
     profit for 3 quarters within such period, the amount of the Security
     Deposit shall reduce by $780,251.00 effective as such Anniversary Date.
     Such reduction shall be accomplished in the manner referred to in Section
     VI.C. above, provided that Landlord shall not be required to refund any
     portion of the Security Deposit or to accept a substitute letter of credit
     unless and until Tenant has provided Landlord with audited financial
     statements evidencing that Tenant is entitled to a reduction of the
     Security Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof.

     3) If Tenant is not entitled to a reduction of the Security Deposit under
     D.1. or D.2. above, Tenant shall not be entitled to a reduction of the
     Security Deposit with respect to the applicable Anniversary Date. Tenant
     shall, however, be entitled to a reduction of the Security Deposit with
     respect to any future Anniversary Dates where the conditions for a
     reduction have been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
     contrary, in no event shall the Security Deposit be reduced below the sum
     of: (i) $2,340,750.00, plus (ii) the amount of any increase in the Security
     Deposit pursuant to Section VI.E. below."

IX.  INITIAL ALTERATIONS.

  A. From and after the later to occur of the execution of this First Amendment
     and, with respect to the Terminable Space, the satisfaction of the
     Contingency, Tenant shall have access to the Three Riverside Center
     Premises for the purpose of performing

                                       5

<PAGE>   6

     alterations and improvements in preparation for Tenant's occupancy thereof
     (the "Initial Alterations"). Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant has been
     provided with possession of the Three Riverside Center Premises, Tenant and
     its contractors shall not have the right to perform Initial Alterations in
     the Three Riverside Center Premises unless and until Tenant has complied
     with all of the terms and conditions of Article IX.C. of this Lease,
     including, without limitation, reasonable approval by Landlord of the final
     plans for the Initial Alterations and the contractors to be retained by
     Tenant to perform such Initial Alterations. Tenant shall be responsible for
     all elements of the design of Tenant's plans (including, without
     limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural
     integrity of the design, the configuration of the Three Riverside Center
     Premises and the placement of Tenant's furniture, appliances and
     equipment), and Landlord's approval of Tenant's plans shall in no event
     relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. Landlord agrees that
     Landlord shall not have any approval rights over the aesthetic aspects of
     the Initial Alterations unless the same are visible from the exterior of
     the Building or the interior of the Building atrium. Landlord's approval of
     the contractors to perform the Initial Alterations shall not be
     unreasonably withheld.

  B. Provided Tenant is not in default after the delivery of notice and the
     expiration of any applicable cure periods, Landlord agrees to contribute
     the sum of Two Million Three Hundred Forty Thousand Four Hundred Twenty and
     00/100 Dollars ($2,340,420.00) (i.e. $30 per rentable square foot of the
     Three Riverside Center Premises) (the "Three Riverside Center Premises
     Allowance") toward the cost of performing the Initial Alterations in
     preparation of Tenant's occupancy of the Three Riverside Center Premises.
     The Three Riverside Center Premises Allowance may only be used for the cost
     of labor, materials, permits and contractors fees in connection with the
     Initial Alterations. The Three Riverside Center Premises Allowance, less
     the amount of retainage provided for in Tenant's construction contract
     (which shall not be less than 5% nor more than 10%)(which retainage shall
     be payable as part of the final draw), shall be paid to Tenant or, at
     Landlord's option, to the order of the general contractor that performs the
     Initial Alterations, in periodic disbursements within thirty (30) days
     after receipt of the following documentation: (i) an application for
     payment and sworn statement of contractor substantially in the form of AIA
     Document G-702 covering all work for which disbursement is to be made to a
     date specified therein; (ii) a certification from an AIA architect
     substantially in the form of the Architect's Certificate for Payment which
     is located on AIA Document G702, Application and Certificate of Payment;
     (iii) Contractor's, subcontractor's and material supplier's waivers of
     liens which shall cover all Initial Alterations for the previous
     disbursement and all other statements and forms required for compliance
     with the mechanics' lien laws of the State of Massachusetts, together with
     all such invoices, contracts, or other supporting data as Landlord may
     reasonably require; and (iv) a request to disburse from Tenant containing
     an approval by Tenant of the work done and a good faith estimate of the
     cost to complete the Initial Alterations. In addition, prior to the first
     such disbursement, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (x) a cost breakdown
     for each trade or subcontractor performing the Initial Alterations; (y)
     final plans and specifications for the Initial Alterations, together with a
     certificate from an AIA architect that such plans and specifications comply
     in all material respects with all laws affecting the Building, Property and
     Three Riverside Center Premises; and (z) copies of all construction
     contracts for the Initial Alterations, together with copies of all change
     orders, if any. Upon completion of the Initial Alterations, and prior to
     final disbursement of the Allowance, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with:
     (1) general contractor and architect's completion affidavits, (2) full and
     final waivers of lien, (3) receipted bills covering all labor and materials
     expended and used, (4) as-built plans of the Initial Alterations, and (5)
     the certification of Tenant and its architect that the Initial Alterations
     have been installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the
     approved plans, and in accordance with applicable laws, codes and
     ordinances. In no event shall Landlord be required to disburse the Three
     Riverside Center Premises Allowance more than one time per month. If the
     cost of the Initial Alterations exceeds the Three Riverside Center Premises
     Allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to the Three Riverside Center Premises
     Allowance in accordance with the terms hereof, but each individual
     disbursement of the Allowance shall be disbursed in the proportion that the
     Three Riverside Center Premises Allowance bears to the total cost for the
     Initial Alterations, less the retainage referenced above. Notwithstanding
     anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to
     disburse any portion of the Three Riverside Center Premises Allowance
     during the continuance of an uncured default under the Lease, and
     Landlord's obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such
     default is cured.

                                       6

<PAGE>   7

     In addition to Landlord's obligation to provide Tenant with an Three
     Riverside Center Premises Allowance, Landlord, provided Tenant is not in
     default after the delivery of notice and the expiration of any applicable
     cure periods, shall provide Tenant with an allowance (the "Three Riverside
     Center Premises Architectural and Engineering Allowance") in the amount of
     One Hundred Fifty Six Thousand Twenty Eight and 00/100 Dollars
     ($156,028.00) (i.e., $2 per rentable square foot of the Three Riverside
     Center Premises) to be applied toward the cost of architectural and
     engineering services for the Three Riverside Center Premises contracted by
     Tenant. Landlord shall disburse the Three Riverside Center Premises
     Architectural and Engineering Allowance, or applicable portion thereof, to
     Tenant within forty-five (45) days after Landlord's receipt of invoices and
     lien waivers from Tenant with respect to Tenant's actual engineering and
     architectural fees as described above. Any unused portion of the Three
     Riverside Center Premises Architectural and Engineering Allowance may be
     applied toward the cost of the Initial Alterations. Any unused portion that
     is not applied toward the cost of the Initial Alterations shall accrue to
     the sole benefit of Landlord, it being agreed that Tenant shall not be
     entitled to any credit, offset, abatement or payment with respect thereto.

  C. In no event shall the Three Riverside Center Premises Allowance be used for
     the purchase of moveable office equipment, furniture or other items of
     personal property of Tenant. In the event Tenant does not use the entire
     Three Riverside Center Premises Allowance in connection with the
     performance of the Initial Alterations, any unused amount shall accrue to
     the sole benefit of Landlord, it being understood that Tenant shall not be
     entitled to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection
     therewith. Tenant shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or
     use taxes, if any, payable in connection with the Initial Alterations
     and/or Three Riverside Center Premises Allowance.

  D. Landlord agrees to respond to any requests by Tenant for approval of its
     initial drafts of plans within ten (10) Business Days. Landlord agrees to
     respond to any requests by Tenant for approval of its contractors or any
     revisions to previously submitted plans within seven (7) Business Days.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the response times set forth above for the
     approval of any plans or revisions thereto shall be extended by five (5)
     additional Business Days in the event that the matters for which approval
     is being requested will, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, require review
     by an outside consultant. If Landlord shall disapprove any requests by
     Tenant, Landlord shall commit to writing its specific basis for such
     disapproval. Time is of the essence with respect to the response periods
     set forth herein.

  E. Landlord shall be responsible for performing the Base Building Work in the
     Three Riverside Center Premises as described in the Base Building Scope
     attached to the Lease as EXHIBIT M. All Base Building Work shall be
     performed at Landlord's sole cost and expense. In no event shall the cost
     of the Base Building Work be applied against or deducted from the Three
     Riverside Center Premises Allowance or Three Riverside Center Premises
     Architectural and Engineering Allowance. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
     Landlord shall have the right to change the plans and specifications for
     the Base Building Work from time to time, provided that Landlord shall not
     materially reduce the overall quality of the Base Building Work; provided,
     further, that Tenant shall have the right to approve any such changes that
     materially affect Tenant's occupancy, operation or design of the Three
     Riverside Center Premises, which approval shall not be unreasonably
     withheld or delayed.

  F. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord and its contractors, including ADP
     Marshall ("ADP") will be performing Base Building Work in the Building and
     Three Riverside Center Premises and improvement work in the premises of
     other tenants of the Building prior to and during the performance of the
     Initial Alterations by Tenant. Each portion of the Initial Alterations,
     including, without limitation, the delivery of any materials, the placement
     of dumpsters and sanitary facilities and the use of any loading docks must
     be coordinated with Landlord and ADP in advance in accordance with the
     rules and regulations enacted by Landlord and attached hereto as EXHIBITS
     B-1 and B-2. It is understood that Landlord is constructing the Base
     Building Work on a merit shop basis that is not restricted by the terms of
     a collective bargaining agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
     hereby represents to Tenant and Tenant acknowledges that Landlord and ADP
     have reached an understanding with the New England Regional Council of
     Carpenters and the Laborers' International Union of North

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

     America, Local 560 with respect to the employment of union labor at the
     Building and that Tenant and Tenant's Contractor shall work diligently and
     in good faith with Landlord and ADP to comply with the understanding that
     was reached with such unions. Tenant and Tenant's Contractor shall be
     obligated to take all actions necessary to assure that the Initial
     Alterations are performed to completion without disruption to Landlord's
     performance of the Base Building Work from labor disputes arising from any
     cause, including, without limitation, disputes concerning union
     jurisdiction and the affiliation of workers employed by Tenant's Contractor
     or the subcontractors of Tenant's Contractor. Should a jurisdictional
     dispute arise, Tenant and Tenant's Contractor shall take the necessary
     legal steps required to allow Landlord's and ADP's construction of the Base
     Building Work to continue without interruption from any strikes, work
     stoppages or other actions in connection with the jurisdictional dispute.

  G. Once completed, the Initial Improvements shall be deemed "Leasehold
     Improvements" and the provisions of Section VIII.B. shall be applicable
     with respect to the Initial Alterations.

  H. Notwithstanding anything in Section X.A. to the contrary, Tenant, as part
     of the Initial Alterations, shall install any necessary sub-meters (as well
     as any electrical panels, transformers, bus duct plug and related
     equipment) in the Three Riverside Center Premises at Tenant's sole cost and
     expense (subject to the Three Riverside Center Premises Allowance).

X.   ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. All references in Article XII to One Riverside
     Center or Two Riverside Center shall be deemed to refer to One Riverside
     Center, Two Riverside Center or Three Riverside Center, or to One Riverside
     Center Premises or Two Riverside Center Premises shall be deemed to refer
     to One Riverside Center Premises, Two Riverside Center Premises or Three
     Riverside Center Premises. In addition, Landlord's rights under Section
     XII.B to recapture space that Tenant desires to Transfer shall not apply to
     any subleases or occupancy agreements for all or any portion of the Three
     Riverside Center Premises entered into by Tenant during the first 15 months
     of the Term and having a term not exceeding four (4) years ("Initial Three
     Riverside Subleases").

XI.  CONTINGENCY. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that, with the exception of
     the 25,117 rentable square feet shown on EXHIBIT A-7 hereto (the
     "Unencumbered Space"), the Three Riverside Center Premises is currently
     leased to Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, Inc. ("Harvard") pursuant to
     the terms and conditions of a lease dated December 15, 1999 (the "Harvard
     Lease"). The 52,897 rentable square foot portion of the Three Riverside
     Center Space that is leased to Harvard is referred to herein as the
     "Terminable Space". Landlord is currently engaged in good faith
     negotiations with Harvard with respect to a termination of the Terminable
     Space (the "Harvard Termination"). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that (i)
     there is no guaranty that Landlord and Harvard will enter into the Harvard
     Termination, (ii) Landlord shall be under no obligation to enter into the
     Harvard Termination, and (iii) this First Amendment, with respect to the
     Terminable Space only, is contingent upon Landlord and Harvard entering
     into the Harvard Termination (the "Contingency"). In the event that
     Landlord and Harvard do not enter into the Harvard Termination by May 12,
     2000, either party shall have the right to terminate this First Amendment
     with respect to the Terminable Space only by written notice to the other on
     or before the date on which the Contingency is satisfied. If either party
     elects to terminate this Amendment with respect to the Terminable Space,
     this Amendment shall continue in full force and effect subject to the
     following:

     1)   The Three Riverside Center Premises shall refer only to the 25,117
          rentable square feet shown on Exhibit A-7 and the Rentable Square
          Footage of the Premises shall be 295,563 square feet;

     2)   The Annual Base Rent and Monthly Base Rent for the Three Riverside
          Premises shall be appropriately adjusted based on the new Three
          Riverside Premises square footage (i.e. 25,117);

     3)   Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be 59.7447%;

     4)   The Security Deposit shall be increased from $8,477,000.00 to
          $9,264,000.00. As such, the additional amount to be provided by Tenant
          shall be $787,280.00. In

                                       8

<PAGE>   9

          addition, Sections VI.C. and VI.D. of the Lease shall be deleted in
          their entirety and replaced with the following sections VI.C. and
          VI.D:

          "C. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided Tenant
          is not in default under this Lease as of the third (3rd) anniversary
          of the Commencement Date (i.e. the expiration of the 3rd lease year),
          the amount of the Security Deposit shall reduce from $9,264,280.00 to
          $7,279,876.00 effective as of the 3rd anniversary of the Commencement
          Date. If the Security Deposit is provided by Tenant in the form of
          cash, Landlord shall return the reduced portion of the Security
          Deposit to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the 3rd
          anniversary of the Commencement Date. If the Security Deposit is
          provided in the form of a letter of credit, such reduction shall be
          accomplished by having Tenant provide Landlord with a substitute
          letter of credit in the reduced amount. If the Security Deposit is
          provided through a combination of cash and letter of credit, Tenant,
          by written notice to Landlord, shall advise Landlord as to the method
          that will be used to effectuate the reduction of the letter of credit.

          D. In addition to the reduction of the Security Deposit described in
          Section VI.C. above, the amount of the Security Deposit shall be
          subject to further reduction effective as of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th
          anniversaries of the Commencement Date (each referred to as an
          "Anniversary Date") as follows:

          1) If Tenant reported a profit for the 4 consecutive quarters
          immediately preceding the applicable Anniversary Date, the amount of
          the Security Deposit shall reduce by $1,323,614.00 effective as of
          such Anniversary Date. Such reduction shall be accomplished in the
          manner referred to in Section VI.C. above, provided that Landlord
          shall not be required to refund any portion of the Security Deposit or
          to accept a substitute letter of credit unless and until Tenant has
          provided Landlord with audited financial statements evidencing that
          Tenant is entitled to a reduction of the Security Deposit in
          accordance with the terms hereof.

          2) If Tenant did not report a profit for the 4 consecutive quarters
          immediately preceding the applicable Anniversary Date but did report a
          profit for 3 quarters within such period, the amount of the Security
          Deposit shall reduce by $661,807.00 effective as such Anniversary
          Date. Such reduction shall be accomplished in the manner referred to
          in Section VI.C. above, provided that Landlord shall not be required
          to refund any portion of the Security Deposit or to accept a
          substitute letter of credit unless and until Tenant has provided
          Landlord with audited financial statements evidencing that Tenant is
          entitled to a reduction of the Security Deposit in accordance with the
          terms hereof.

          3) If Tenant is not entitled to a reduction of the Security Deposit
          under D.1. or D.2. above, Tenant shall not be entitled to a reduction
          of the Security Deposit with respect to the applicable Anniversary
          Date. Tenant shall, however, be entitled to a reduction of the
          Security Deposit with respect to any future Anniversary Dates where
          the conditions for a reduction have been satisfied. Notwithstanding
          anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Security
          Deposit be reduced below the sum of: (i) $1,985,420.00, plus (ii) the
          amount of any increase in the Security Deposit pursuant to Section
          VI.E. below."

     5)   The amount of the Three Riverside Premises Allowance shall be
          $753,510.00 and the amount of the Three Riverside Premises
          Architectural and Engineering Allowance shall be $50,234.00; and

     6)   Tenant's parking spaces shall be allocated as follows: 626 spaces in
          the parking structure, 185 spaces in the surface parking areas and 76
          spaces in the executive parking garage

     replaced with the following Section VI.A:

     to Tenant at the Property based on a ratio of 3 parking spaces per 1,000
     rentable square feet of Premises leased by Tenant from time to time (the
     "Parking Ratio"). Tenant acknowledges that handicapped parking spaces and
     visitor parking spaces are included within the Parking Ratio of 3 spaces
     per 1,000 rentable square feet. In other

                                       9

<PAGE>   10

       words, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the total amount of visitor and
       handicapped parking spaces for the entire Property shall be deducted from
       the number of parking spaces that Tenant is entitled to use based on the
       Parking Ratio. Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
       allocate Tenant's parking rights between the surface parking areas, the
       parking structure and the executive parking garage beneath One Riverside
       Center (collectively referred to at the "Parking Areas"), provided that
       not less than 89 of Tenant's parking spaces (exclusive of handicapped
       parking spaces) shall be located in the executive parking garage beneath
       the Building. As of the date hereof, it is contemplated that Tenant's
       parking spaces will be allocated as follows: 738 spaces in the parking
       structure, 218 spaces in the surface parking areas and 89 spaces in the
       executive parking garage. Tenant shall not have the right to lease or
       otherwise use more than its share of parking spaces. Landlord shall have
       the right to establish such rules and regulations as Landlord reasonably
       elects to monitor the use of parking spaces by Tenant and other tenants,
       visitors and invitees and to assure, to the extent reasonably possible,
       that such parties are parking in the specific areas (e.g. surface areas,
       parking structure or garage) designated by Landlord and Tenant is not
       exceeding the Parking Ratio. Without limitation, Landlord shall have the
       right to implement a system of parking passes, parking stickers, card key
       access or any other system reasonably designated by Landlord. Tenant
       shall be responsible for assuring that its visitors, employees,
       subtenants and invitees comply with the rules and regulations designated
       by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to institute
       and operate a subsidized MBTA pass program at the Premises to encourage
       Tenant's employees to use public transportation."

XIII.  MONUMENT SIGN. Section VIII of Exhibit E to the Lease is hereby amended
       by adding the following sentence: "Notwithstanding anything herein to the
       contrary, Initial Three Riverside Subleases (as defined in Section XII of
       the Lease) shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining
       whether the Monument Signage Conditions have been satisfied."

XIV.   DIRECTORY AND ENTRY SIGNAGE. Section IX.A of Exhibit E to the Lease is
       hereby amended by adding the following sentence: "Notwithstanding
       anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not have any right to
       remove, nor require the removal of, the Atrium Sign because the existence
       of Initial Three Riverside Subleases (as defined in Section XII of the
       Lease) shall cause Tenant to be in violation of the sublease restrictions
       and/or occupancy requirements of this Section."

XV.    PARKING STRUCTURE SIGNAGE. Section X of Exhibit E to the Lease is hereby
       amended by adding the following subsection: "D. Notwithstanding anything

       Lease) shall cause Tenant to be in violation of the sublease restrictions
       and/or occupancy requirements of this Section. In addition, Initial Three
       Riverside Subleases shall not be taken into account for purposes of
       determining whether the Parking Signage Conditions have been satisfied."

XVI.   ONE RIVERSIDE SIGNAGE. Section XI of Exhibit E to the Lease is hereby

       of the Lease) shall cause Tenant to be in violation of the sublease
       restrictions and/or occupancy requirements of this Section. In addition,
       Initial Three Riverside Subleases shall not be taken into account for
       purposes of determining whether the Riverside Center Signage Conditions
       have been satisfied."

XVII.  THREE RIVERSIDE SIGNAGE. Section XII of Exhibit E to the Lease is hereby
       amended as follows:

       a.     The following subsection is hereby added: "C. Notwithstanding
              anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not have any right
              to remove, nor require the removal of, the Three Riverside Center
              Sign because the existence of Initial Three Riverside Subleases
              (as defined in Section XII of the Lease) shall cause Tenant to be
              in violation of the sublease restrictions and/or occupancy
              requirements of this Section. In addition, Initial Three Riverside
              Subleases shall not be taken into account for purposes of
              determining whether the Riverside Center Signage Conditions have
              been satisfied."

<PAGE>   11

       b.     Section XII.A and XII.B are hereby amended as follows: (i) the
              words "fifty percent (50%) of the total rentable square footage of
              Three Riverside Center" are hereby deleted and replaced with
              "75,000 rentable square feet in Three Riverside Center"; and (ii)
              the words "50% of the total rentable square footage of Three
              Riverside Center" in subsection XII.A(4) and XII.B(6) are hereby
              deleted and replaced with "75,000 rentable square feet in Three
              Riverside Center". Landlord acknowledges that, provided this
              Amendment is not terminated with respect to the Terminable Space,
              Tenant has satisfied the Three Riverside Center Signage Condition
              with respect to the amount of space leased by Tenant in Three
              Riverside Center. Such condition will be deemed to have been
              satisfied regardless of whether a remeasurement pursuant to
              Section I.C. of the Lease causes the square footage of the Three
              Riverside Center Premises to drop below 75,000 rentable square
              feet.

XVIII. SUPPLEMENTAL HVAC UNITS AND ANTENNA/DISHES. Section XIII of Exhibit E to
       the Lease is hereby amended by increasing the number of Roof Top Units
       from ten (10) to thirteen (13).

XIX.   BUILDING RISERS. Section XVII of Exhibit E to the Lease is hereby deleted
       and replaced with the following Section XVII:

       "XVII. BUILDING RISERS. Tenant shall have the right to use the vertical
       sleeves in One Riverside Center, Two Riverside Center and Three Riverside
       Center for Tenant's data and telecommunication cabling and in connection
       with the rights granted to Tenant with respect to the Roof Space. Tenant,
       acknowledges, however, that the existing vertical sleeves run to the top
       floor of the Building, but not through to the roof of the Building. As
       such, if Tenant desires to have the sleeves run to the roof, Tenant will
       be responsible for any costs required to extend the sleeves through to
       the roof or to install separate sleeves connecting the top floor of the
       Building to the roof. All such usage shall be in common with Landlord and
       shall not adversely affect Landlord's right to use the vertical sleeves
       for the operation of the Building (including the leasing, licensing and
       granting of roof rights to third parties); provided that Landlord shall
       not lease, license or grant any roof rights to third parties to the
       extent that the same would have an adverse affect on Tenant's ability to
       use the vertical sleeves in connection with the normal operation of
       Tenant's business in the Premises. Landlord, at Landlord's expense, has
       installed for Tenant's use, conduits within the Building to facilitate
       Tenant's ability to interconnect Tenant's systems within One Riverside
       Center, Two Riverside Center and Three Riverside Center.

XX.    MISCELLANEOUS.

       A.     This Amendment sets forth the entire agreement between the parties
              with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no
              additional oral or written representations or agreements. Under no
              circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any Rent abatement,
              improvement allowance, leasehold improvements, or other work to
              the Three Riverside Center Premises, or any similar economic
              incentives that may have been provided Tenant in connection with
              entering into the Lease, unless specifically set forth in this
              Amendment.

       B.     Tenant shall not record this Amendment. Landlord, however, agrees
              to execute and to deliver to Tenant for recordation or
              registration, at Tenant's cost and expense, a memorandum or notice
              of this Amendment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1. If
              the Lease is terminated before the Term expires, upon Landlord's
              request the parties shall execute, deliver and record an
              instrument acknowledging the above and the date of the termination
              of this Lease, and Tenant appoints Landlord its attorney-in-fact
              in its name and behalf to execute the instrument if Tenant shall
              fail to execute and deliver the instrument after Landlord's
              request therefor within 10 days.

       C.     Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions
              and terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force
              and effect.

       D.     In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the
              Lease and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall
              govern and control.

       E.     Submission of this Amendment by Landlord is not an offer to enter
              into this Amendment but rather is a solicitation for such an offer
              by Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by this Amendment until
              Landlord has executed and delivered the same to Tenant; provided,
              that, if Landlord shall not have executed and delivered the same
              to Tenant within seven (7) business days after the same has been
              executed by Tenant and submitted to Landlord, Tenant shall have
              the right by written notice to Landlord at any time prior to the
              date on which a fully executed copy of this Amendment is delivered
              to Tenant, to declare this Amendment null and void.

       F.     The capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same
              definitions as set forth in the Lease to the extent that such
              capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this
              Amendment.

       G.     Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that Tenant has dealt with no
              broker in connection with this Amendment. Tenant agrees to
              indemnify and hold Landlord, its members, principals,
              beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees,
              mortgagee(s) and agents, and the respective principals and members
              of any such agents (collectively, the "Landlord Related Parties")
              harmless from all claims of any brokers, including without
              limitation Roy Hirshland, Spaulding & Slye or any successor
              thereto, claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with
              this Amendment. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that Landlord
              has dealt with no broker in connection with this Amendment.
              Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant, its members,
              principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors,
              employees, and agents, and the respective principals and members
              of any such agents (collectively, the "Tenant Related Parties")
              harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have
              represented Landlord in connection with this Amendment.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have duly executed this
Amendment as of the day and year first above written.

          d.   When possible, the Contractor shall use application methods that
               generate the least amount of airborne contaminants (e.g. brush
               vs. spray application of paint).

          e.   Unless approved by product specifications, the Contractor shall
               not install wet or water-damaged building materials. The
               Contractor shall protect stored materials from water and moisture
               prior to installation. The Contractor shall protect new building
               assemblies from water damage following installation and inspect
               for signs of ineffective water and moisture control (e.g.
               condensation on pipes and ducts and roof and drain leaks)
               following installation.

     3.2  Isolation of Work Area

          a.   Where feasible, construction site passageways abutting tenant
               occupied locations shall incorporate single chamber "air locks"
               (two sets of doors or plastic strip doors at opposite ends of an
               enclosed chamber or small room) into each construction site
               entrance. Plastic strip doors shall be of minimum 0.120" thick
               material with full overlap. Once installed, the air lock shall
               remain in place for the duration of the project or until such a
               time as its presence blocks final completion of the renovations.
               The Contractor's passage routes should avoid or minimal intersect
               tenant occupied areas of the building.

               The Contractor shall submit plan indicating construction site
               passageways for approval to the TIW Project Manager and shall
               construct and use only these passageways for access to the area
               of work

          b.   All persons and materials passing to the construction site should
               be fully in the air lock and the door to the tenant occupied area
               closed before opening the construction site door (or flaps). At
               least one (set of) air lock door(s) (or flaps) must remain closed
               throughout the renovation process. All persons leaving the site
               shall clean their feet on a floor mat in the air lock prior to
               entering the tenant occupied part of the building. The Contractor
               shall clean the floor mat regularly.

     3.2  Containment & Ventilation of Odors & Contaminants

          a.   Upon mobilization, the Contractor and the HVAC subcontractor
               shall meet with the Chief Engineer to review the building HVAC
               system.

          b.   The Contractor shall submit for approval to the Building Engineer
               proposed plan to contain and ventilate odors and contaminants.

          c.   The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that odors and
               contaminants are contained. Activities that have potential to
               emit airborne contaminants must be coordinated with the TIW
               Project Manager. The Contractor shall:

               i.   Isolate all return air pathways from the construction area.

               ii.  Cut and cap all supply air ducts serving the construction
                    area except for temporary ducts supplying air to the
                    construction area for temporary heat and air conditioning.

               iii. Monitor and maintain construction site at negative pressure
                    at least (-0.02" w.c.) relative to tenant occupied spaces by
                    installing and operating temporary exhaust to outdoors
                    through existing building exhaust systems or through
                    temporary louvers installed in place of windows or exterior
                    doors. Preparation should be made to replace designated
                    windows or doors with appropriate weatherproof exhaust
                    equipment manifolds. Upon completion of construction, the
                    Contractor shall restore all repositioned windows and doors
                    to original condition and location.

               iv.  Where renovation site lacks access to perimeter windows,
                    doorways, or existing building exhaust systems, "negative
                    air machines" with HEPA

                                       12

                    and/or activated-carbon filters may be utilized to
                    re-circulate air to the building, preferably to unoccupied
                    building locations.

               v.   Install and maintain air-tight seals at all openings between
                    tenant occupied areas of the building and the construction
                    site (e.g. doorways, corridors, air plenums, chases, open
                    conduits and duct work) throughout the course of
                    construction activities. Upon completion of construction,
                    the Contractor shall remove all installed barriers and
                    seals.

               vi.  The Contractor shall ensure that the rest of the building
                    outside the project area remains unaffected by the project.
                    In particular, all HVAC systems altered for the purposes of
                    controlling site contaminants must continue to provide at
                    least the minimum outside air ventilation rate required by
                    all applicable codes at the time the facility was
                    constructed, to all occupied spaces.

4.   COMPLETION OF WORK

     4.1  Upon completion of Work, the Contractor shall clean all air plenums
          and mechanical system components determined to have deteriorated as a
          result of the the Contractor's work. All air filters shall be changed.

     4.2  The area of work should be ventilated and exhausted for a period of a
          minimum of 48-72 hours prior to occupancy by Tenant to allow newly
          installed building materials, finishes, and office equipment to
          off-gas volatile organic compounds, if any.

     4.3  Contractor shall verify that all mechanical systems are balanced and
          working properly and shall provide balancing reports to the Chief
          Engineer.
