  • Commercial Lease. Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
  • Commercial Sublease. When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
  • Sublease Agreement. Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

in the Underlying Lease (including but not limited to the remedies provided
thereunder) are incorporated herein by reference, and shall, as between
Sublessor and Subtenant constitute the terms, covenants, conditions and
provisions of this Sublease, as if all references to the landlord thereunder
were references to Sublessor, as if all references to the tenant thereunder were
references to Subtenant and as if all references to the Premises (as such term
is defined in the Underlying Lease) thereunder were references to the subleased
premises, (i) except that all references in the Underlying Lease, as
incorporated herein by reference, to "Tenant's Property" shall apply only to
Subtenants property and all references in the Underlying Lease, as incorporated
herein by reference, to "Annual Fixed Rent" shall refer to base rent hereunder
and (ii) except to the extent that they are inapplicable to, inconsistent with,

the extent that they are inapplicable to, inconsistent with or modified by the

part; (ii) any work done in or to the subleased premises (1) by Subtenant or its

licensees or employees). The foregoing indemnity shall be construed to
supplement Subtenant's obligations in the Underlying Lease, as incorporated in
and made a part of this Sublease. Subtenant shall in no case have any rights in
respect of the subleased premises greater than Sublessor's rights under the

which is not caused (in whole or in part) by the acts or omission of Subtenant,
(ii) any negligence of Sublessor or (iii) the termination of both the Underlying
Lease and this Sublease, but only if caused solely by Sublessor and not
permitted hereunder.

                 (e) Sublessor represents and warrants to Subtenant that (i)

than the first floor) free and clear of the rights of all subtenants and
occupants (including, without limitation, Palm, Inc.) as of the applicable
commencement date for the portion of the subleased premises in question provided
and on the express condition that Subtenant uses reasonable efforts to mitigate
its losses, costs, damages and expenses. Sublessor shall not voluntarily
terminate the Underlying Lease except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
Sublessor shall promptly deliver (but in no event more than five days after
receipt) to Subtenant a copy of any notice of default or termination or any
notice relating to any casualty or taking, given by Sublessor to Landlord or
received by Sublessor from Landlord.

amount owed to Subtenant.

                          (v) Notwithstanding anything in this Paragraph 5(a)
to the contrary, if less than 100% of the rentable area of the Premises is

of the rentable area of the Premises were occupied throughout such calendar
year.

Expenses. Sublessor shall make all its records relating to the calculation of RS
Expenses available to Sublessor or said agent at reasonable times during regular
business hours upon reasonable advance written notice. To the extent such audit
reveals that Sublessor has overcharged Subtenant for RS Expenses and Sublessor,
acting in good faith, shall not dispute such audit, Sublessor shall credit same
against base rent next due or shall promptly refund such overcharge to Subtenant
if the Term has then expired and Subtenant has no further obligation to
Sublessor.

and payable, Subtenant shall pay a late payment charge equal to four percent

representations of any persons, other than those, if any, set forth expressly in
this Sublease in respect of the physical condition of the subleased premises or
the Building or of any other matter affecting the subleased premises or this
transaction which might be pertinent in considering the leasing of said
subleased premises or the execution of this Sublease. Subtenant has, on the
contrary, relied solely on such representations, if any, as are expressly made
herein and on such investigations, examinations and inspections as Subtenant has
chosen to make or have made. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublessor has afforded
Subtenant the opportunity for full and complete investigations, examinations,
and inspections. If any alterations, improvements or other work are required in
order to separate the subleased premises from the balance of the premises
demised to Sublessor under the Underlying Lease or properly demise the subleased
premises to Subtenant, same shall be performed by Subtenant at Subtenant's own
cost and expense in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Sublease.
All trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings and other personal property currently
located in the subleased premises will be removed prior to the applicable
commencement date.

                 (h) TIME LIMITS. The time limits provided in the Underlying
Lease for the giving of notices, making demands, performance of any act,
condition or covenant, or the exercise of any right, remedy or option, are
changed for the purposes of this Sublease, by lengthening or shortening the same
in each instance by five (5) days (except that if the time limit provided in the
Underlying Lease for the giving of any notice, making any demand, performing any
act, condition or covenant or exercising any right shall be seven (7) days or
less, then such time limit shall be changed by lengthening or shortening the
same by three (3) days provided that in no event will the time limit given to
Subtenant be less than four (4) days), as appropriate, so that notices may be
given, demands made, or any act, condition or covenant performed, or any

                                       8
<PAGE>

right, remedy or option hereunder exercised, by Sublessor or Subtenant, as the
case may be (and each party covenants that it will do so) within the time limit
relating thereto contained in the Underlying Lease.

                 (i) TERMINATION OF UNDERLYING LEASE. If for any reason the term
of the Underlying Lease is terminated or expires prior to the expiration date of
this Sublease, this Sublease shall thereupon automatically be terminated,
provided however, that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of Subtenant
under the Landlord SNDA.

                 (j) CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION. Upon the occurrence of a fire
or other casualty or a condemnation or taking which permits the tenant under the
Underlying Lease to terminate the Underlying Lease pursuant to SECTION 14.1 or
SECTION 14.3 of the Underlying Lease, Sublessor shall have the right, at its
election, to terminate the Underlying Lease, but only with the prior consent of
Subtenant (which consent of Subtenant will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), in which event this Sublease shall automatically terminate (without
any liability to Sublessor) upon such a termination of the Underlying Lease. If
(i) a fire or other casualty which damages the subleased premises occurs, (ii)
either (1) according to Landlord's Restoration Estimate (as such term is defined
in the Underlying Lease) such damage to the subleased premises cannot reasonably
be expected to be repaired or restored within 360 days from the time that repair
or restoration work would commence or (2) the damage occurred during the last
nine months of the Term and according to Landlord's Restoration Estimate such
damage to the subleased premises cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired or
restored within one hundred eighty (180) days from the time that repair or
restoration work would commence and (iii) Sublessor, as tenant under the
Underlying Lease, has the right to terminate the Underlying Lease pursuant to
SECTION 14.1 or SECTION 14.3 of the Underlying Lease, then Subtenant may, at its
election, terminate this Sublease by notice given to Sublessor within 15 days
following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's Restoration Estimate, in which event
this Sublease will terminate on the date selected by Sublessor, which
termination date will be not less than 30 days or more than 45 days after the
date of notice of such termination. If a portion of the subleased premises shall
be taken by condemnation or right of eminent domain and Sublessor has the right
to terminate the Underlying Lease pursuant to SECTION 14.3 of the Underlying
Lease, then Subtenant shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by giving
notice to Sublessor no later than 15 days after Tenant has been deprived of
possession, in which event this Sublease will terminate as of the 15th day after
the date Subtenant is deprived of possession.

                 (k) ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (i) Except as otherwise
expressly provided below, Subtenant shall not, voluntarily or involuntarily or
by operation of law or otherwise, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or encumber
this Sublease, or sublet all or any part of the subleased premises or permit or
suffer any person or entity to use or occupy all or any part of the subleased
premises without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of
Sublessor. Any sale, assignment or transfer (whether by one or a series of
related or unrelated transactions and whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by
operation of law or otherwise) of 50% or more of the direct or indirect
ownership interests in Subtenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Sublease
requiring Sublessor's consent. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall
not be applicable to Subtenant for as long as the shares of Subtenant's stock
are regularly traded over the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange or NASDAQ.

                          (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Sublease to the contrary, (1) Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold its
consent to any assignment of this Lease or to any subletting of all or a portion
of the subleased premises, and (2) Subtenant may assign this Sublease or sublet
all or a portion of the subleased premises, without Sublessor's consent, to an
Affiliate (as defined below), or in connection with a merger, consolidation or
the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Subtenant, provided that
(A) in case of any assignment referred to in this clause (ii), such assignee
shall assume in writing all of Subtenant's obligations hereunder and Subtenant
shall not be relieved of its obligation hereunder, the form of the assignment
and assumption of sublease document is reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor and
an original thereof is delivered to Sublessor at least 10 days before the
effective date thereof, and (B) in the case of any sublease described in this
clause (ii) the form of the sublease document is reasonably satisfactory to
Sublessor and (C) Sublessor shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld
its consent to an assignment or sublease if (I) at the time Sublessor receives
Subtenant's notice, Sublessor or its Affiliates are occupying more than 20,000
rentable square feet of the Building, and the assignee or sub-subtenant is
Microsoft Corporation, BEA Associates, Iona Consulting or an Affiliate of any of
the foregoing (provided, however, that this clause (C)(I) shall not apply if any
one or more of said companies or their respective Affiliates is an Affiliate of
Subtenant or if the applicable sublease or assignment is occurring in connection
with any merger of Subtenant with any of said companies or their respective
Affiliates or any acquisition or sale of stock or assets involving Subtenant and
any of said companies or any of their Affiliates), (II) the proposed use or
business of the assignee or subtenant will increase Sublessor's obligations
under the Underlying Lease (other than in an insignificant manner), (III) in the
case of an assignment, in Sublessor's reasonable judgment, the assignee does not
possess adequate financial capability and liquidity to perform its obligation
under this Sublease, (IV) there is then an uncured monetary default under this
Sublease or an uncured non-monetary default under this Sublease which remained
uncured beyond the expiration of the applicable grace period set for herein, (V)
Sublessor has exercised its right of recapture set forth below in clause (iv) or
(VI) there will be more than two occupants of any floor which comprises the
subleased premises.

                          (iii) If Subtenant requires the consent of Sublessor
with respect to an assignment of this Sublease or a sublease of all or part of
the subleased premises Subtenant shall give a notice to Sublessor requesting
Sublessor's consent and containing all of the information described in Section
12.5 of the Underlying Lease. Sublessor's failure to respond to Subtenant's
request for Sublessor's consent with respect to a proposed assignment or
sublease within 20 days after Sublessor receives Subtenant's written request and
all of the information described in Section 12.5 of the Underlying Lease shall
constitute Sublessor's consent to the requested assignment or sublease.

                          (iv) With respect to any assignment of this Sublease
or sublease of all or substantially all of the subleased premises for all or
substantially all of the remainder of the Term which requires Sublessor's
consent, Sublessor shall have the right, at its option, by giving written notice
to Subtenant, within 15 days after Sublessor's receipt of Subtenant's notice
requesting Sublessor's consent to terminate this Sublease as of the proposed
effective date of such assignment or sublease (which shall be set forth in
Subtenant's notice to Sublessor requesting Sublessor's consent and which
proposed effective date shall not be earlier than 15 days after the expiration
of such 15 day period). If Sublessor shall exercise such right, then upon

                                       10
<PAGE>

the commencement date of the proposed assignment or sublease, all of Sublessor's
and Subtenant's obligations relating to the period after such date (but not
those relating to the period before such termination date) shall cease. Further,
in the event Sublessor does not exercise its option to terminate this Sublease
within said 15 day period and an assignment or sublease, as applicable has not
been executed and delivered to Sublessor within 90 days after the expiration of
said 15 day period and in accordance with the terms of Subtenant's notice,
Sublessor's waiver of the termination right shall be void and Subtenant shall
not assign this Sublease or enter into a sublease without first giving Sublessor
the notice set forth above in clause (iii) above and allowing Sublessor the
opportunity to exercise its termination right set forth herein.

                          (v) With respect to any assignment or sublease
consented to by Sublessor, such consent shall be upon the express and further
condition, covenant and agreement, and Subtenant hereby covenants and agrees
that in addition to the base rent additional rent and other charges to be paid
pursuant to this Sublease and any amount payable by Subtenant pursuant to
Section 12.6 of the Underlying Lease, as incorporated herein, with respect to
such assignment or sublease fifty percent (50%) of the "Assignment/Sublease
Profits" (as such term is hereinafter defined), if any, shall be paid to
Sublessor. The "Assignment/Sublease Profits" shall be the excess, if any, of (A)
the "Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues" as hereinafter defined over (B) the base
rent and additional rent and other charges payable by Subtenant under this Lease
(provided, however, that for the purpose of calculating the Assignment/Sublease
Profits in the case of a sublease, appropriate proportions in the applicable
base rent, additional rent and other charges under this Sublease shall be made
based on the percentage of the subleased premises subleased and on the terms of
the sublease). The "Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues" shall be the base rent,
additional rent and all other charges and sums payable either initially or over
the term of the sublease or assignment on account of the assigned or sublet
interest in the subleased premises or services provided by or on behalf of
Sublessor under this Sublease less the reasonable costs of Subtenant incurred in
such subleasing or assignment (the definition of which shall include but
necessarily be limited to rent concessions, brokerage commissions and alteration
allowances) amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment. All payments
of the Assignment/Sublease Profits due Sublessor shall be made within ten (10)
days of receipt of same by Subtenant.

                          (vi) As used herein, the term "Affiliate" shall mean
an entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the
entity in question where the term "control" means ownership of more than 50% of
the ownership interests in the entity in question and the ability to control the
management and operation of the entity in question.

                          (vii) Sublessor hereby agrees that Subtenant may, at
Subtenant's sole cost and expense and at no cost, expense or liability to
Sublessor, communicate directly with Landlord in order to obtain Landlord's
consent to an assignment or sublease simultaneously with communicating with
Sublessor to obtain its consent provided that the foregoing will not affect
Sublessor's right to consent to such proposed assignment or sublease.

                          (viii) Sublessor agrees that the confidentiality
provisions set forth in Section 12.5 of the Underlying Lease will apply to any
information or documents given by Subtenant to Sublessor pursuant to this
Paragraph 5(k).

                                       11

                 (l) BROKER. Subtenant and Sublessor each represents and
warrants to the other that the indemnifying party did not negotiate through or
communicate with any broker in connection with this transaction other than The
Columbia Group and the Staubach Company (collectively the "Brokers"). The
Brokers shall be paid commissions by Sublessor pursuant to separate agreements.
Subtenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Sublessor harmless from and
against any and all claims, loss, liability, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable counsel fees), resulting from any claims that may
be made against Sublessor by any broker or other person (other than the Brokers)
claiming a commission, fee or other compensation by reason or of this
transaction, if the same shall arise by, through or on account of any act of
Subtenant or its representatives. Sublessor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
Subtenant harmless from and against any and all claims, loss, liability, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees), resulting
from any claims that may be made against Subtenant by any broker or other person
claiming a commission, fee or other compensation by reason or of this
transaction, if the same shall arise by, through or on account of any act of
Sublessor or its representatives. The provisions of this clause (1) shall not be
construed to be for the benefit of any third party.

                 (m) NO SERVICES BY SUBLESSOR. Subtenant agrees and acknowledges
that Sublessor is not in control of the subleased premises, the Premises or the
Building or of any of the services or facilities that may be appurtenant to or
supplied at the subleased premises or by Sublessor, including, without
limitation, electricity, heat, air conditioning, water, elevator service,
repairs, maintenance, painting, and parking facilities other than the Retained
Services (as defined below), which Retained Services are under the control of
and to be provided by Sublessor, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 6.
Sublessor shall not be responsible for any failure or interruption, for any
reason whatsoever, of any of such services or facilities to be provided by
Landlord or to be provided by Sublessor, and except as otherwise provided in
clause (n) below Subtenant agrees that no failure to furnish, or interruption
of, any such services or facilities shall give rise to (i) an abatement,
diminution or reduction of Subtenant's obligations hereunder whether in whole or
in part, (ii) any constructive eviction, whether in whole or in part, or (iii)
any liability on the part of Sublessor. If Subtenant shall require any service
or utility in excess of those provided under the Underlying Lease at no cost or
expense to the Tenant thereunder, Subtenant shall pay all costs and expenses
incurred by Sublessor in providing same together with a three percent (3%)
administrative charge.

                 (n) RENT ABATEMENT. Subtenant shall not be entitled to any rent
abatement pursuant to the Underlying Lease, as incorporated herein by reference,
unless and to the extent Sublessor shall receive a rent abatement from Sublessor
pursuant to the Underlying Lease, as incorporated herein by reference, with
respect to a portion of the subleased premises.

                 (o) RECORDATION. This Sublease shall not be recorded in any
public office.

                 (p) SIGNS. Subtenant may not place any sign (i) in the interior
of the Premises if it is visible outside of the Premises, (ii) on the exterior
of the Premises, (iii) anywhere in the Building outside of the Premises or (iv)
anywhere on the exterior of the Building in each instance without Sublessor's
consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to one
sign on the exterior of the Premises on each of the first, sixth, seventh,
eighth and nine floors of the Building, Sublessor's consent will not be
unreasonably withheld provided that each such

                                       12
<PAGE>

sign complies with all applicable laws and the consent of Landlord; if required,
is first obtained. Subject to the last sentence of Section 17.27 of the
Underlying Lease and to the written consent of Landlord (it being acknowledged
an agreed that the waiver by Landlord of the limitations of said last sentence
of Section 17.27 of the Underlying Lease so as to permit the erection and
maintenance of such signage by Subtenant shall be a required provision of the
Landlord Consent), Sublessor hereby assigns to Akamai Technologies, Inc. all of
Sublessor's rights, if any, under Section 17.27 of the Underlying Lease to erect
corporate signage on the exterior of the Building. Subtenant hereby assumes for
the benefit of Sublessor all of the obligations of Sublessor under said Section
17.27. Subtenant shall be required, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, to
obtain Landlord's consent to such assignment. The rights hereby assigned by
Sublessor to Subtenant are personal to Akamai Technologies, Inc. and may not be
assigned sublet or otherwise transferred to any other party other than an
assignee of Subtenant described in Section 12.2 of the Underlying Lease, as
incorporated herein by reference.

                 (q) REFUSAL BY SUBLESSOR. Whenever pursuant to the terms of
this Sublease or the Underlying Lease, Subtenant shall require the consent or
approval of Landlord, and Subtenant delivers to Sublessor a request that
Landlord give such consent or approval, then Sublessor agrees to deliver such
request to Landlord promptly (but in any event within five (5) days) after its
receipt by Sublessor. If after such delivery of a request for Landlord to give
its consent or approval, Landlord fails or refuses to give such consent or
approval, then, regardless of whether the Underlying Lease provides that such
consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and/or delayed, (i)
Sublessor shall have no liability to Subtenant as a result thereof, and (ii)
Sublessor shall have no obligation to obtain such consent. Notwithstanding the
foregoing (i) if (1) if the consent or approval of Landlord is required, (2)
Landlord fails or refuses to give such consent or approval (3) pursuant to the
Underlying Lease, Landlord's consent or approval is not to be unreasonably
withheld and (4) Subtenant in good faith believes that Landlord unreasonably
withheld its consent or approval and promptly after such failure or refusal by
Sublessor Subtenant notifies Sublessor of such good faith belief, then Sublessor
agrees to use reasonable efforts (but at no cost, expense or liability to
Sublessor) to cause Landlord to give its consent or approval to Subtenant with
respect to the matter in question and (ii) if (1) pursuant to the Underlying
Lease Landlord is required to provide or perform any service or obligation, (2)
Landlord fails to provide or perform such service or obligation and (3)
Subtenant notifies Sublessor of such failure, then Sublessor agrees, to use
reasonable efforts, including, if reasonably appropriate, the commencement of a
lawsuit (but at no cost, expense or liability to Sublessor) to cause Landlord to
provide or perform such service or obligation.

                 (r) ALTERATIONS. (i) Sublessor shall make no alterations,
installations, changes, renovations, additions, replacements or improvements
("Alterations") in to or about the subleased premises without, in each instance
(1) the prior written consent of Sublessor and (2) compliance with the terms and
provisions of the Underlying Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent
of Sublessor to an Alteration will not be unreasonably withheld if (1) the
Alteration will not adversely affect (A) any structural or exterior element of
the Building (B) any area or element of the Building outside of the subleased
premises or (C) any Building system, (ii) either the consent of Landlord is not
required under the Underlying Lease or such consent has been obtained and (3) if
required pursuant to the Underlying Lease or by Landlord, Subtenant agrees to
restore the Premises at the expiration or early termination of the Term to its
condition prior to such Alteration. All Alterations will be performed by
contractors approved by

                                       13
<PAGE>

Sublessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In addition, Subtenant
may install a generator on the roof of the Building or in the loading dock area
of the Building provided that the consent of Landlord is obtained, the consent
of Sublessor is obtained (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and
the provisions of the Underlying Lease and this Sublease are complied with.
Sublessor has not objection to Subtenant removing prior to the end of the Term
any generator or communication equipment installed in the subleased premises by
Subtenant, provided that the foregoing is permitted under the Underlying Lease,
or consented to in writing by Landlord in either instance with no liability or
obligation to Sublessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of Sublessor
shall not be required with respect to any painting or other decorative
Alteration.

                          (ii) Sublessor hereby approves of the Alterations
described on EXHIBIT B attached hereto, provided that the provisions of this
Sublease and the Underlying Lease are complied with.

                          (iii) With respect to each Alteration, Subtenant will
not have the obligation to restore the subleased premises at the expiration or
early termination of the Term to its condition prior to such Alteration if (1)
either (A) Sublessor has no restoration obligation with respect to such
Alteration pursuant to the Underlying Lease or (B) Landlord agrees in writing
that Sublessor will have no restoration obligation with respect to such
Alteration and (2) such Alteration is a customary and standard tenant
improvement for premises used as office space.

                          (iv) With respect to Subtenant's initial Alterations
to prepare the subleased premises for Subtenant's initial occupancy, Sublessor's
failure to respond to Subtenant's request for Sublessor's consent for fifteen
(15) days shall be deemed Sublessor's consent to such request.

                          (v) Subtenant may install lines, conduits and similar
equipment through portions of the Building outside of the subleased premises in
locations approved by Sublessor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

                 (s) SECURITY DEPOSIT. (i) Subtenant shall deposit with
Sublessor on or before May 10, 2002 by wire transfer of immediately available
funds the sum of One Million Three Hundred Eighty Nine Thousand Seventeen and
00/100 Dollars ($1,389,017.00) to be held by Sublessor in a separate interest
bearing account, or at Subtenant's option, (which option may be changed by
Subtenant during the Term) a "clean", unconditional, irrevocable and
transferable letter of credit (such letter of credit, as it may be renewed or
replaced as provided herein, the "Letter of Credit") in said amount of
$1,389,017.00, in form and substance satisfactory to Sublessor, issued by and
drawn on a bank reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor and which is a member of
the New York Clearing House Association, for the account of Sublessor, for a
term of not less than one (1) year, as security for the faithful performance and
observance by Subtenant of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of
this Sublease, including, without limitation, the surrender of possession of the
subleased premises to Sublessor as herein provided, provided, however, that on
or before July 15, 2002 Subtenant shall increase the security deposit by
$1,389,017.00, so that from and after July 15, 2002 the security deposit
(whether it consists of cash or a Letter Credit) shall equal Two Million Seven
Hundred Seventy Eight Thousand Thirty Four and 00/100 Dollars ($2,778,034.00).
All interest accrued on the cash security shall be paid

                                       14
<PAGE>

to Subtenant within 60 days after the end of each calendar year provided that
there is then no uncured default hereunder. If Subtenant shall default beyond
any applicable notice and/or grace period under any of the material terms,
covenants or conditions of this Sublease, Sublessor may apply the whole or any
part of the cash security so deposited (as appropriate), or present the Letter
of Credit for payment and apply the whole or any part of the proceeds thereof
(as appropriate), as the case may be, (i) toward the payment of any base rent,
additional rent or any other item of rental as to which Subtenant is in default,
(ii) toward any sum which Sublessor may expend or be required to expend by
reason of Subtenant's default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Sublease, including, without limitation, any damage,
liability or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements) incurred or suffered by Sublessor, and (iii) toward any
damage or deficiency incurred or suffered by Sublessor in the reletting of the
subleased premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue or accrues before
or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Sublessor. If Sublessor
presents the Letter of Credit for payment, the proceeds thereof not applied as
provided above shall be held as cash security. If Sublessor applies or retains
any part of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit or the cash security so
deposited, as the case may be, Subtenant, within 15 days after demand, shall
deposit with Sublessor the amount so applied or retained so that Sublessor shall
have the full deposit on hand at all times during the Term. If Subtenant shall
fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and
conditions of this Sublease the Letter of Credit or the cash security, as the
case may be, shall be returned to Subtenant within 30 days after the expiration
date of the Term and after delivery of possession of the subleased premises to
Sublessor, provided that Subtenant does not then owe any monies or other
obligations hereunder to Sublessor. In the event of an assignment of the
Underlying Lease and this Sublease by Sublessor, (i) Sublessor shall have the
right to transfer the Letter of Credit or the cash security, as the case may be,
to the assignee, and Subtenant shall cause, at no cost to Sublessor, the bank
which issued the Letter of Credit to issue an amendment to the Letter of Credit
or issue a new Letter of Credit naming the assignee as the beneficiary
thereunder and (ii) provided that the new sublessor assumes in writing the
obligations of Sublessor with respect to the return of the security deposit,
Sublessor shall be released by Subtenant for all liability for the return of
such cash security or the Letter of Credit, as the case may be, and Subtenant
shall look solely to the new sublessor for the return of the cash security or
the Letter of Credit, as the case may be. The provisions hereof shall apply to
every transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit or security made to a new
Sublessor. Subtenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or
encumber the monies deposited herein as security and neither Sublessor nor its
successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance,
attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Subtenant shall renew the Letter
of Credit from time to time, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
thereof, and deliver to Sublessor a new Letter of Credit or an endorsement to
the Letter of Credit, and any other evidence required by Sublessor that the
Letter of Credit has been renewed for a period of at least one (1) year. The
final expiration date of the Letter of Credit shall be no earlier than July 1,
2009. If Subtenant shall at any time fail to timely renew the Letter of Credit
as aforesaid, Sublessor may present the Letter of Credit for payment and retain
the proceeds thereof as cash security in lieu of the Letter of Credit.

                          (ii) If (1) for each of four consecutive calendar
quarters, the Net Cash Flow (as defined in clause (v) below) of Subtenant shall
be positive and (2) as of the last day of each of said four consecutive calendar
quarters (A) Subtenant has at least $100 million of unencumbered cash and (B)
the ratio of Subtenant's Current Assets to Subtenant's Current

                                       15
<PAGE>

Liabilities shall equal or exceed 2.0 to 1.0, then provided that Subtenant is
not then in default hereunder, with respect to any monetary default or in
default hereunder beyond the expiration of the applicable grace period, with
respect to any non-monetary default, the required amount of the security deposit
shall be reduced to $1,389,017, provided that if for any calendar quarter ending
after the date of the reduction of the required amount of the security deposit
the Net Cash Flow of Subtenant shall equal zero or be negative, then the
required amount of the security deposit will be restored to $2,778,034 and
within 40 days after the end of such calendar quarter Subtenant shall increase
the security deposit to said amount of $2,778,034. Once the security is so
increased, the provisions of the preceding sentence (with respect to the decease
and subsequent increase of the security deposit) shall continue to be effective.

                          (iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
as long as Subtenant is not then in default hereunder, with respect to any
monetary default or in default hereunder beyond the expiration of the applicable
grace period, with respect to any non-monetary default, on May 1, 2008 and on
the first day of each month thereafter the required amount of the security
deposit shall decrease by $231,502.83 per month (if the security deposit on May
1, 2008 is $2,778,034) or by $115,751.41 per month (if the security deposit on
May 1, 2008 is $1,389,017) until the required amount of the security deposit
shall be $694,508.49, at which time the required amount of the security deposit
shall remain $694,508.49 until the end of the Term.

                          (iv) Within 30 days after the end of each calendar
quarter during the Term, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublessor quarter-annual
financial statements of Subtenant certified by the chief financial officer of
Subtenant and accompanied by copies of the applicable Securities and Exchange
Commission filings of Subtenant showing (i) the Net Cash Flow of Subtenant
during such calendar quarter, (ii) the total cash owned by Subtenant as of the
last day of such calendar quarter and (iii) the total Current Assets and total
Current Liabilities of Subtenant as of the last day of such calendar quarter.

                          (v) As used herein, (i) the term "Net Cash Flow" shall
mean the available net cash of Subtenant from operations after payment of all
expenses, debt service and expenditures of Subtenant, (ii) the terms "Current
Assets" and "Current Liabilities" shall have the meanings given to them under
GAAP, and (iii) the term "GAAP" shall mean generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied.

                          (vi) Subtenant's failure to deposit with Sublessor the
initial security deposit of $1,389,017 by May 10, 2002 shall constitute a
material event of default hereunder entitling Sublessor to terminate this
Sublease.

                 (t) PARKING. Subject to the terms and provisions of Article X
of the Underlying Lease, Subtenant shall have the right to use one hundred
seventy nine (179) unreserved parking privileges, at the rate paid by Sublessor
for unreserved parking privileges pursuant to the Underlying Lease. Subtenant
shall be obligated to pay for such privileges regardless of whether Subtenant in
fact uses the same. All parking charges payable hereunder shall be deemed
additional rent and shall be paid in advance on the first of each month with the
installments of base rent due hereunder. Subtenant acknowledges that the rate
for such parking privileges may increase at any time and Subtenant shall be
responsible for the increase in such

                                       16
<PAGE>

rate. As of the date hereof the rate for unreserved parking privileges is
$235.00 per month per parking space. Subtenant shall have no right to use any
reserved parking spaces. Subtenant shall have no right to use any reserved
parking spaces which Sublessor has the right to use pursuant to the Underlying
Lease and Subtenant shall have no obligation to pay any charges with respect to
any such reserved parking spaces.

                 (u) COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT. Subject to the provisions of the
Underlying Lease and the provisions hereof, Subtenant shall have the right to
install on portions of the roof (other than Landlord's Roof Area (as such term
is defined in the Underlying Lease)) Communications Equipment (as such term is
defined in the Underlying Lease) solely for use by Subtenant for communications,
data and other transmission to and from the Building in connection with
Subtenant's conduct of its business as permitted hereunder but for no other
purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, Subtenant
or may not install any such Communications Equipment or connect any such
Communications Equipment to the subleased premises except with the prior
approval of Sublessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned. In furtherance thereof, with respect to any such
Communications Equipment, Subtenant shall submit to Sublessor plans and
specifications (including, but not limited to, design and size) for such
Communications Equipment and proposed location thereof on the roof of the
Building (other than on Landlord's Roof Area) for Sublessor's approval
(including, but not limited to the size and aesthetics of such Communications
Equipment and the architectural compatibility and relationship between such
Communications Equipment and the general area of the Site (as such term is
defined in the Underlying Lease) and neighboring roads). Subtenant, at
Subtenant's expense, shall repair any damage to the Building resulting from the
installation, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or removal of its
Communications Equipment. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term, Subtenant, at Subtenant's expense shall remove its Communications
Equipment and restore the portion of the roof and Building on or in which its
Communications Equipment was located to as near as practicable its condition
prior to the installation thereof. The exercise of rights by subtenant under
this Paragraph 5(u) shall be subject to the approval of the Cambridge
Redevelopment Authority if and to the extent required by said Authority.

                 (v) INAPPLICABLE PROVISIONS. The following provisions of the
Underlying Lease shall not be part of and shall not apply to this Sublease:
Section 1.2 (other than the following definitions "Building"; "Premises";

Section 2.2(A); Section 2.2(C); Article III; Article IV; Section 6.2; Section
7.4; Section 7.6; Section 7.7; the last paragraph of Section 7.8; Section 7.9;
Section 9.1.1; the parenthetical starting in the third line of Section 11.2 and
ending in the sixth line thereof; the second sentence of Section 11.2; Section
12.3; Section 12.6; Section 13.1.1; Section 13.6; Section 17.5; Section 17.8;
Section 17.9; Section 17.12; Section 17.13; the proviso in the next to last

17.24; Section 17.26; Section 17.27 and Exhibits B, C, E, F, G, H (Cleaning), I
and J. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Subtenant may install in the subleased
premises up to seven (7) vending machines which dispense food, candy,
non-alcoholic beverages and sundries, provided Subtenant obtains such permits
and licenses, if any, as may be required under Legal Requirements, (ii) if
Sublessor shall receive an abatement of rent pursuant to the third grammatical
paragraph of Section 7.8 of the Underlying Lease due to electricity to the
subleased premises ceasing to function, Sublessor shall grant to Subtenant an
abatement of rent equal to the

                                       17
<PAGE>

abatement granted to Sublessor under the Underlying Lease with respect to the
subleased premises, and (iii) while the provisions of Section 2.2(A) shall not
be part of and shall not apply to this Sublease, Sublessor will use reasonable
efforts (at no cost, expense or liability to Sublessor) to ensure that Subtenant
enjoys the rights granted by Landlord thereunder.

                 (w) SUBORDINATION. This Sublease and the term and estate hereby
granted are and shall be subject and subordinate to (a) the lien of each
mortgage which may now or at any time hereafter affect the Building or
Sublessor's interest therein, (b) the Underlying Lease and (c) all other matters
to which the Underlying Lease is subject. The foregoing provision for the
subordination of this Sublease and the term and estate hereby granted shall be
self-operative an no further instrument shall be required to effect any such
subordination; but Subtenant shall, however, upon request by Sublessor, at
anytime or times, execute and deliver any and all reasonable instruments that
may be necessary or proper to effect such subordination or to confirm or
evidence the same. Sublessor agrees that it will not voluntarily subordinate the
Underlying Lease to the lien of any mortgage encumbering the Building or to any
ground lease affecting the Building, unless required to do so pursuant to the
Underlying Lease or pursuant to Section 17.12 or Section 17.13 of the Underlying
Lease in connection with obtaining a Non-Disturbance Agreement or a Recognition
Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Underlying Lease).

         6. RETAINED SERVICES. Sublessor shall provide the following services to
the Building (collectively the "Retained Services"); (a) security for the lobby
of the Building, (b) interior Building cleaning services, and (c) trash removal
services. Sublessor shall arrange for the cleaning of the subleased premises and
the common areas of the Building in accordance with the cleaning specifications
attached hereto as EXHIBIT C. Sublessor will provide security services to the
lobby of the Building in accordance with the security specifications set forth
on EXHIBIT D hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor may at any time
without the prior consent of Subtenant but upon five (5) days prior notice to
Subtenant, arrange for Landlord to perform all or part of the Retained Services.

         7. SUBTENANT'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL - SUBLEASES. If at any time (a)
Sublessor desires to sublease any space in the Building (the "ROFR Space") to
any third party (other than to an Affiliate of Sublessor and other than pursuant
to a then existing right to sublease set forth in a then existing sublease
affecting space in the Building, there being no such right on the date hereof,
and Sublessor agreeing that no such right superior to Subtenant's rights
hereunder shall be granted to a subtenant unless disclosed in the LOI given to
Subtenant in connection with the applicable sublease) and (b) Sublessor shall
receive a term sheet or letter of intent from an unrelated third party (an
"LOI"), with respect to the ROFR Space which Sublessor desires to accept then
Sublessor shall not enter into a sublease with respect to such ROFR Space with
such entity pursuant to such LOI, unless Sublessor complies with the provision
of this PARAGRAPH 7. Without limiting the foregoing or any other provision of
this Sublease to the contrary, the right of first refusal to sublease hereby
granted to Subtenant shall be superior to any right or option to extend the term
or expand the area of any other sublease and to any other right of first offer,
right of first refusal or other similar right or option of first opportunity
granted to any other subtenant or other party (other than an Affiliate of
Sublessor) (Sublessor hereby further representing and warranting that there is
no such right or option in favor of any subtenant or other party on the date
hereof), it being understood and agreed that the term of any other sublease may
not be

                                       18
<PAGE>

extended beyond the initial term of such sublease, nor shall the area occupied
by any subtenant be expanded beyond the area initially occupied by such
subtenant, nor shall any right of first refusal, right of first offer or other
similar right or option of first opportunity granted to any subtenant or other
third party be exercised without again complying with the provisions of this
Section 7 solely with respect to such extension, expansion or other right or
option as though such extension, expansion or other right or option constituted
a new LOI which Sublessor desires to accept. Within 10 days after Sublessor's
receipt of the LOI, Sublessor shall give a notice (the "ROFR Notice") to
Subtenant offering to lease the ROFR Space to Subtenant on the same terms and
conditions as are set forth in the LOI, which ROFR Notice shall be accompanied
with a copy of the LOI. Subtenant shall have 10 days from the giving of the ROFR
Notice to elect to sublease the ROFR Space on the terms and conditions of the
LOI by giving written notice of such election to Sublessor. Subtenant's failure
to give any notice to Sublessor within said 10 day period shall be Subtenant's
irrevocable election not to sublease the ROFR Space. If Subtenant shall timely
and properly elect to sublease the ROFR Space, then within 20 days after the
giving of Subtenant's notice to Sublessor, Sublessor and Subtenant shall enter
into a sublease for the ROFR Space on the terms and conditions set forth in the
LOI and otherwise on the terms and conditions of this Sublease. If Subtenant
shall elect or be deemed to have elected not to sublease the ROFR Space,
Sublessor shall be free to enter into a sublease substantially on the terms of
the LOI or on terms that are more advantageous to Sublessor. If Sublessor does
not enter into such a sublease within 120 days after the expiration of said 10
day period, Sublessor must first again comply with the provisions of this
Paragraph 7, before subleasing the ROFR Space.

         8. SUBTENANT'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL - ASSIGNMENT. If at any time (a)
Sublessor desires to assign Sublessor's rights under the Underlying Lease, this
Sublease and all other then existing Subleases affecting the Premises (the
"Assets") to any third party (other than to an Affiliate of Sublessor) and (b)
Sublessor shall receive an LOI with respect to the purchase of the Assets which
Sublessor desires to accept then Sublessor shall not sell the Assets to such
entity pursuant to such LOI, unless Sublessor complies with the provision of
this PARAGRAPH 8. Within 10 days after Sublessor's receipt of the LOI, Sublessor
shall give a notice (the "Asset Notice") to Subtenant offering to sell the
Assets to Subtenant on the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the
LOI, which Asset Notice shall be accompanied with a copy of the LOI. Subtenant
shall have 10 days from the giving of the Asset Notice to elect to purchase the
Assets on the terms and conditions of the LOI by giving written notice of such
election to Sublessor. Subtenant's failure to give any notice to Sublessor
within said 10 day period shall be Subtenant's irrevocable election not to
purchase the Assets. If Subtenant shall timely and properly elect to purchase
the Assets, then within 20 days after the giving of Subtenant's notice to
Sublessor, Sublessor and Subtenant shall enter into a contract of sale and
assignment documents on the terms and conditions set forth in the LOI. If
Subtenant shall elect or be deemed to have elected not to purchase the Assets,
Sublessor shall be free to sell the Assets substantially on the terms of the LOI
or on terms that are more advantageous to Sublessor. If Sublessor does not sell
the Assets within 120 days after the expiration of said 10 day period, Sublessor
must first again comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 8 before selling
the Assets.

         9. LANDLORD'S APPROVAL. This Sublease shall have no effect until
Landlord shall have delivered to Sublessor its written consent to this Sublease
(the "Landlord Consent") and a subordination non-disturbance and attornment
agreement in favor of Subtenant (the "Landlord SNDA") both in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor and Subtenant.

                                       19
<PAGE>

Sublessor agrees to use reasonable efforts (without, however, having to incur
any cost, expense or liability other than the costs and expenses set forth in
Section 12.7B of the Underlying Lease which Sublessor shall be responsible to
pay) to obtain the Landlord Consent and the Landlord SNDA. If Sublessor does not
receive both the Landlord Consent and the Landlord SNDA for any reason
whatsoever on or before June 17, 2002, then (a) Sublessor shall not be obligated
to take any action to obtain the Landlord Consent or the Landlord SNDA, (b) this
Sublease shall be deemed void and of no effect and if Subtenant is then in
possession of all or any part of the subleased premises, Subtenant shall
immediately quit and surrender to Sublessor the subleased premises, remove all
of its property and repair any damage caused by such removal and restore the
subleased premises to the condition in which they were prior to the installation
of the items so removed, and (c) Sublessor will return the security deposit to
Subtenant. Notwithstanding this Sublease being deemed null and void and of no
effect as aforesaid, if Subtenant shall have been in possession of all or any
part of the subleased premises, Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor the base rent
and other charges for the period prior to Subtenant's quitting and surrendering
the subleased premises as aforesaid, and shall otherwise be obligated under this
Sublease as if it was the Subtenant and this Sublease were in full force and
effect.

         10. APPORTIONMENT. If the Term does not commence on the first day of a
month or end on the last day of a month, base rent, additional rent and all
other charges for the partial month(s) will be apportioned.

         11. AMENDMENT OF UNDERLYINGLEASE. Sublessor shall have the right to
modify or amend the Underlying Lease without the prior written consent of
Subtenant, unless such modification or amendment shortens the term of the
Underlying Lease, terminates this Sublease, reduces any rights or services to be
provided to Subtenant under this Sublease, increases any financial obligation of
Subtenant hereunder, increases (other than in an insignificant manner) any
non-financial obligation of Subtenant hereunder, in which event Subtenant's
consent to such modification or amendment shall be required; and any reference
in this Sublease to the Underlying Lease, shall mean the Underlying Lease as
modified or amended from time to time, provided that if Subtenant properly
withholds its consent, Subtenant shall not be subject to the terms and
provisions of such modification or amendment.

         12. GOVERNING LAW. Irrespective of the place of execution or
performance, this Sublease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

         13. MISCELLANEOUS.

                 (a) PRIOR UNDERSTANDINGS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. All understandings
and agreements heretofore had between the parties are merged in this Sublease
and any other written agreement(s) made concurrently herewith, which alone fully
and completely express the agreement of the parties. This Sublease contains a
complete statement of all the agreements and arrangements between the parties
with respect to its subject matter and cannot be changed or terminated orally.
This Sublease shall be construed without any presumption against the party
drafting this Sublease or causing the same to be drafted.

                                       20
<PAGE>

                 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. Subtenant and Sublessor each
(i) irrevocably agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Sublease may be brought in the Courts of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts or of the United States of America located in
Middlesex County, (ii) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in any
such suit, action or proceeding and (iii) waives any objection which it may have
to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such
courts and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought
in an inconvenient forum.

                 (c) LOBBY. The parties agrees to cooperate and work together to
change the lobby signage to reflect that the Building will cease to be a one
tenant building and will be a multi-tenant building. The changes (but excluding
any new signage for Subtenant) will be made at Sublessor's cost and expense on
or before October 1, 2002.

                 (d) CAPTIONS. The marginal captions in this instrument are used
for convenience in finding the subject matters, and are not to be taken as part
of this instrument, or to be used in determining the intent of the parties, or
otherwise interpreting this Sublease.

                 (e) SUBLESSOR'S COST AND EXPENSES. If Subtenant shall be in
default under this Sublease and such default shall remain uncured beyond the
expiration of the applicable grace period set forth herein, all attorneys' fees
and all other costs and expenses incurred by Sublessor in enforcing Sublessor's
rights hereunder or in collecting any base rent or additional rent hereunder
shall be additional rent hereunder and shall be payable by Subtenant within five
days after notice from Sublessor.

                 (f) SUBTENANT'S COST AND EXPENSES. If Sublessor shall be in
default under this Sublease and such default shall remain uncured for thirty
(30) days after written notice from Subtenant (provided that if such default
cannot with reasonable diligence be cured within said 30 day period and
Sublessor is diligently pursuing to complete such cure such 30 day grace period
shall be extended as long as Sublessor is diligently proceeding to complete such
cure), all attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses incurred by
Subtenant in enforcing Subtenant's rights hereunder shall be payable by
Sublessor within five days after notice from Subtenant.

                 (g) SUBLESSOR'S RIGHT. Sublessor or Sublessor's agents shall
have the right (but shall not be obligated) to enter the subleased premises in
any emergency at any time and without notice (provided that Sublessor shall give
written notice within one business day after such emergency entry), and, at
other times upon at least one business day's prior written notice during normal
business hours on business days (and at Subtenant's option accompanied by a
representative of Subtenant), to examine or inspect the same and to make such
repairs, replacements, alterations, improvements, or additions as Sublessor may
deem necessary or desirable to any portion of the subleased premises or the
Building or which Sublessor may elect to perform, in the subleased premises or
the Building following Subtenant's failure to make repairs or perform any work
which Subtenant is obligated to perform under this Sublease, or for the purpose
of complying with laws, regulations and other directions of governmental
authorities. Subtenant shall permit Sublessor to use, repair, maintain and
replace pipes, ducts, wires, conduits and appurtenant fixtures in and through
the subleased premises and to erect or install new pipes, ducts, wires, conduits
and appurtenant fixtures therein provided that such erection or installation
will not materially and adversely interfere with Subtenant's use of the

                                       21
<PAGE>

subleased premises. Sublessor may, during the progress of any work in the
subleased premises, take all reasonably necessary materials and equipment into
the subleased premises without the same constituting an eviction nor shall
Subtenant be entitled to any abatement of rent while such work is in progress
nor to any damages by reason of loss or interruption of business or otherwise.
Sublessor agrees, when performing work in the subleased premises to use
reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Subtenant's business provided
that Sublessor shall have no obligation to pay workers at so-called overtime
rates. If, after giving the notice, if any, required above, Subtenant is not
present to open and permit an entry into the subleased premises, Sublessor or
Sublessor's agent may enter the same whenever such entry may be necessary or
permissible by master key or in the event of emergency (after trying to give
written or oral notice to Subtenant) forcibly and provided reasonable care is
exercised to safeguard Subtenant's property and such entry shall not render
Sublease or its agent liable therefor, nor in any event shall the obligations of
Subtenant hereunder be affected.

                 (h) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Sublease shall apply to all
respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto but this
paragraph shall not be construed as a consent to any assignment or subletting by
Subtenant.

                           FIRST AMENDMENT TO SUBLEASE

2002. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Subtenant
has delivered to Sublessor an amendment to said Letter of Credit in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto.

         8. DELIVERY OF SECURITY DEPOSIT AFTER TERMINATION OF UNDERLYING LEASE.
Within 10 days after the termination of the Underlying Lease due to the
occurrence of an event of default thereunder and provided that the Existing
Sublease, as amended hereby, is then in force and effect, Sublessor will deliver
to Landlord (a) the security deposit then being held by Sublessor under the
Existing Sublease, as amended hereby, (whether such security deposit is in the
form of the Letter of Credit or cash) and (b) if the security deposit is in the
form of the Letter of Credit, an assignment of the Letter of Credit in favor of
Landlord signed by Sublessor in the form attached to the Letter of Credit.
Sublessor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Subtenant harmless from and
against any liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Subtenant as a result of Sublessor
failing to perform its obligations under the preceding sentence, provided
however that in no event will Sublessor's liability under this Paragraph 8
exceed the amount of the security deposit being held by Sublessor as of the date
the Underlying Lease terminates.

         9. ALTERATIONS. While Sublessor has approved Subtenant's proposed
layout of the floors of the subleased premises as shown on Exhibit B to the
Existing Sublease, Sublessor must still review and approve Subtenant's plans and
specifications, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

        10. ASSIGNMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE LEASE. Sublessor hereby covenants
and agrees that while the Existing Sublease, as amended, is in force and effect,
(a) Sublessor will not request or accept the consent of Landlord to an
assignment of the Underlying Lease if such request or acceptance would permit
Landlord to recapture the subleased premises, and (b) Sublessor will not
voluntarily terminate the Lease except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5(j)
of the Existing Sublease.

        11. MISCELLANEOUS.

                 (a) Except as amended hereby, the Existing Sublease shall
remain unchanged in force and effect.

                 (b) This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts but will
constitute one agreement.
