Dear Mr. Aasen:

     Thank you for your letter dated July 19, 2001 advising me that you are renewing your lease
for an additional three years in accordance with SECTION 35 of the Lease dated December 26,
1998. Exhibit D of that Lease gives the new rental rates.

     We are happy that you have decided to remain in our facility for another three years. If
there is any way in which I can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

	 	Re:
	 	Agreement of Lease dated 12/26/98

Dear Ms. Heideger:

     Thank you for your letter dated June 26th advising me that you would like to change
the Renewal Option in your lease to an additional two [2] years with the third year being optional.
We will agree to the following:

     We will extend the lease for two [2] additional years, with the monthly rent for the first
year to be $ 4,850.00 and the monthly rent for the second year to be $ 5,335.00. The rent for the
third optional year would be at a rental rate which is then current in Standard Court.

     As you probably know, rental rates in Columbia are considerably higher now than they were a
few years ago. The rental rates quoted above are still below those being paid by most of the other
tenants.

     If you or Mr. Aasen would like to speak to me about the above, please call me at 410-997-1500.
If you wish me to prepare an amendment to your lease, for your signature, with the above rates
indicated, please let me know, and I will proceed in that direction.

     You have been an excellent tenant, and we are happy to be able to cooperate with you in
extending your lease.
