offer to a  proposed  tenant or subject to the  renewal or  expansion  option of
another tenant or subject to the right or privilege of any then existing tenant,

then provided  that Tenant is not then in default of any  obligation on its part
to be performed  under the Lease as amended by this Second  Amendment,  Landlord
shall notify  Tenant of the  availability  of such space for leasing.  If Tenant
shall notify Landlord within five (5) business days after Landlord's notice that
Tenant is interested in leasing such available  space,  then Landlord and Tenant
shall  negotiate  for not more  than ten (10) days the terms of a lease for such
available  space.  The  terms of lease  for such  available  space  shall not be
dependent  upon the terms or the form of the  Lease as  amended  by this  Second
Amendment.  If (i) Tenant  shall not have  timely  given any  notice  heretofore
referred to in this  Section 16 or (ii) if Landlord and Tenant have not executed
a lease for such  available  space  within  ten day  period,  time  being of the
essence with respect to all time periods,  then Landlord  shall be free to enter
into a lease of such  available  space with any other  person upon such terms as
Landlord in its absolute discretion may find acceptable.  The provisions of this
Section 16 are personal to the named Tenant herein and may not be assigned to or
exercised by any other person. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit, restrict
or prohibit Landlord from granting any tenant an option to renew the term of its
lease or a right of first refusal or right of offer or option to match any offer
for such space (including,  without limitation,  any offer made pursuant to this
Section 16).  Notwithstanding  anything  heretofore  set forth to the  contrary,
space shall not be deemed to have become  available  for leasing if Landlord and
the then current or proposed new tenant, subtenant or other occupant of any such
space are negotiating the terms of a new or renewal lease for such space.

                  17. The demised  premises are deemed to be one unit consisting
of the Existing  Space,  the First  Additional  Space and the Second  Additional
Space and neither the separate

payment  schedules for the Existing  Space,  First  Additional  Space and Second
Additional  Space nor the fact that the  demised  premises  shall be  located on
non-contiguous  floors shall give rise to a claim that the demised  premises are
not one unit for the purposes of the Lease or that a default in paying rent with
regard to any such space is not a default under the Lease as to the whole of the
demised premises.

                  18. Except as herein modified, all of the terms, covenants and
conditions  of the  lease  are and shall  remain  in full  force and are  hereby
ratified and confirmed.

                  19.  All terms  used but not  defined  herein  shall  have the
meanings set forth in the Lease.

                  20.  The   provisions  of  the   WITNESSETH   paragraphs   are
incorporated  into the body of this Second  Amendment  and  Landlord  and Tenant
shall be bound by such provisions.

                  21. This Second  Amendment  shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their  respective  legal  representatives,
successors and permitted assigns.

                  IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have  executed  this
Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
