        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

                                 June 30, 1998


1.  Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("DLJ" or the "Company"). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is a
majority owned subsidiary of The Equitable Companies Incorporated and its
subsidiaries (together, "Equitable"). The Company's separate financial
statements reflect Equitable's cost basis established at the time of
Equitable's acquisition of the Company in 1985.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
but is not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or
omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1997 included on Form 10-K filed by the
Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year
financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.

2.  Common Stock Split

In February 1998, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split
(the "stock split") of the Company's common stock, subject to stockholder
approval, to increase the number of authorized common shares. In April 1998,
stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation whereby the amount of total authorized shares of common stock was
increased to 300 million shares and the amount of total authorized shares of
preferred stock was increased to 50 million. The stock split was effected in
the form of a 100% stock dividend to stockholders of record on April 27, 1998,
and was paid on May 11, 1998. The par value of the common stock remained at
$.10 per share. Accordingly, an adjustment from paid-in capital to common stock
was made to preserve the value of the post-split shares. All common share, per
common share, restricted stock unit and option data have been restated for the
effect of the stock split in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements.

3.  Income Taxes

Income taxes for interim period condensed consolidated financial statements
have been accrued using the Company's estimated effective tax rate. Federal
income taxes paid for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were $14.7
and $45.2 million including net Federal income tax equivalents paid to
Equitable of $1.7 million and of $7.1 million, respectively for the same
period.

4.  Borrowings

Short-term borrowings are generally demand obligations, at interest rates
approximating Federal fund rates from banks and other financial institutions.
Such borrowings are generally used to finance securities inventories, to
facilitate the financial instruments settlement process and to finance
financial instruments purchased by customers on margin. In January 1998, the
Company commenced a $1.0 billion commercial paper program. Obligations issued
thereunder (the "Notes") are exempt from registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. The Notes rank pari passu with the Company's other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. At June 30, 1998, $661.1 million of
Notes were outstanding under this program.

Long-term borrowings, including current maturities of $1.1 million and $32.8
million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, consist of the
following: June 30, December 31, 1998 1997 (In thousands)

</TABLE>

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company issued $650.0 million of
6 1/2% Senior Notes which mature in 2008 and $125.0 million medium-term notes
that bear interest at rates ranging from 6.11% - 6.28% and mature at various
dates through 2003.

In May 1998, the Company repaid its $325 million senior subordinated revolving
credit agreement and terminated the related credit facility.

Subordinated exchange notes due in 2003 include $20.0 million due to a
subsidiary of Equitable at June 30, 1998.

During the second quarter of 1998, the Company amended its $2.0 billion
revolving credit facility to increase the aggregate commitment of banks
thereunder to $2.75 billion, of which $1.65 billion may be unsecured. There
were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at June 30, 1998.

Interest paid on all borrowings and financing arrangements amounted to $2.3
billion and $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

5.  Long-term Corporate Development Investments

Long-term corporate development investments represent the Company's involvement
in private debt and equity investments which generally have no readily
available market or may otherwise be restricted as to resale under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, these investments are carried
at estimated fair value as determined by the Finance Committee of the Board of
Directors. The cost of these investments was $459.7 million and $323.2 million
at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The decrease in net
unrealized depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
amounted to $2.0 million and $23.6 million, respectively. Changes in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) arising from changes in fair value or upon
realization are reflected in revenues, principal transactions-net, investment
in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

6.  Net Capital

The Company's principal wholly-owned subsidiary, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities Corporation ("DLJSC"), is a registered broker-dealer, a registered
futures commission merchant and member firm of The New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. (the "NYSE") and, accordingly, is subject to the minimum net capital
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, NYSE and the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission. As such, it is subject to NYSE's net
capital rule which conforms to the Uniform Net Capital Rule pursuant to rule
15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the alternative method
permitted by this rule, the required net capital, as defined, shall not be less
than two percent of aggregate debit balances arising from customer
transactions, as defined, or four percent of segregated funds, as defined,
whichever is greater. The NYSE may also require a member firm to reduce its
business if its net capital is less than four percent of aggregate debit
balances and may prohibit a member firm from expanding its business and
declaring cash dividends if its net capital is less than five percent of
aggregate debit balances. At June 30, 1998, DLJSC's net capital of
approximately $929.1million was 14.6 percent of aggregate debit balances and in
excess of the minimum requirement by approximately $789.3 million.

        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


Certain of the Company's London-based broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to
the requirements of the Securities and Futures Authority, a self-regulatory
organization established pursuant to the United Kingdom Financial Services Act
of 1986. Other U.S. and foreign broker-dealer subsidiaries of the Company are
subject to net capital requirements of their respective regulatory agencies. At
June 30, 1998, the Company and its broker-dealer subsidiaries were in
compliance with all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements.

7.  Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts have been calculated by
dividing earnings applicable to common shares (net income less preferred
dividends) by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
per common share also include the dilutive effects of shares of common stock
issuable under the Restricted Stock Unit Plan and options under the treasury
stock method. All earnings per share amounts have been restated for the effect
of the stock split.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the
basic and diluted earnings per common share computations:

8.  Stockholders' Equity

In January 1998, the Company issued 3.5 million shares of Fixed/Adjustable Rate
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B, with a liquidation preference of $50 per
share ($175.0 million aggregate liquidation value). Dividends are payable
quarterly at a rate of 5.30% per annum, subject to adjustment after January
2003.

In February 1998, approximately 4.4 million restricted stock units (after
giving effect to the stock split) vested and were converted into the Company's
common stock from the authorized and unissued shares. Approximately 1.95
million of such shares (after giving effect to the stock split) were deposited
in a grantor trust pursuant to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan.

In July 1998, the Company sold an aggregate of five million shares of newly
issued common stock to Equitable and AXA Holdings (Belgium), an affiliate of
AXA UAP for $300.0 million in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, under Section 4(2). As a result,
Equitable and its affiliates beneficial ownership of the Company increased to
approximately 73 percent on an undiluted basis.

</TABLE>

10. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into certain contractual agreements referred to as
derivatives or off-balance sheet financial instruments involving options,
forwards and futures and swap agreements. Substantially all of the Company's
activities related to derivatives are, by their nature, trading activities
which are primarily for the purpose of customer accommodations. The Company's
option activities consist primarily of writing over-the-counter ("OTC") options
to accommodate its customers' needs. Forward and futures contracts primarily
represent commitments to purchase or sell U.S. government and agency issued or
guaranteed securities, money market instruments and foreign currency. The
Company enters into swap transactions to manage foreign currency, interest rate
and equity risks. The Company's involvement in commodity derivative instruments
is not significant. Although the Company may enter into certain derivative
instruments to provide an economic hedge against certain risks, all realized
and unrealized gains and losses on these instruments are recorded currently in
the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Accounting Policies for Derivatives
Changes in unrealized gains or losses as well as realized gains and losses at
settlement on all derivative instruments (options, forward and futures
contracts and swaps) are included in the condensed consolidated statements of
income in principal transactions-net, trading. Related offsetting amounts are
presented as receivables or payables from brokers, dealers and other in the
condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Fair value of certain
options includes the unamortized premiums which are deferred and are included
in payables to brokers, dealers and other in the condensed consolidated
statements of financial condition. Such premiums are recognized over the life
of the option contracts on a straight-line basis. Cash flows from derivative
instruments are presented as operating activities in the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows.

The Company also enters into swap transactions as an end-user for non-trading
purposes to modify the interest rate and foreign currency exposure associated
with certain liabilities and assets. Such transactions are accounted for on an
accrual basis. Under the accrual basis, the net amount to be received or paid
under the swap agreement is accrued as part of interest expense in the
condensed consolidated statements of income.

Options contracts are typically written for a duration of less than 13 months.
The notional (contract) values of written options contracts outstanding was
approximately $7.9 billion and $5.4 billion at June 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997, respectively. Such options contracts are substantially covered by various
financial instruments that the Company has purchased or sold on a proprietary
basis.

The notional amounts of forward and futures contracts are treated as
off-balance sheet items. The notional contract and market values of such
contracts at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, were as follows:

        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


The notional (contract) value of swap agreements was approximately $2.1 billion
and $553.8 million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.

The notional or contract amounts indicate the extent of the Company's
involvement in the derivative instruments noted above. They do not measure the
Company's exposure to market or credit risk and do not represent the future
cash requirements of such contracts.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

At June 30, 1998, the Company was contingently liable for unsecured letters of
credit of approximately $258.2 million.

The Company has outstanding commitments, expiring on March 16, 2000, to provide
financings to third parties in the total amount of $150.0 million which would
be secured by mortgage loans on real estate properties. At June 30, 1998,
unfunded commitments outstanding under this facility amounted to $53.5 million.
In addition, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit in connection
with the origination and syndication of senior bank debt of non-investment
grade borrowers. At June 30, 1998, unfunded senior bank loan commitments
outstanding amounted to $514.7 million.

The Company has commitments to invest on a side by side basis with merchant
banking partnerships in the amount of $781.0 million at June 30, 1998.

As a securities broker and dealer, risk is an inherent part of the Company's
business activities. The principal types of risks involved in the Company's
activities are market risk, credit or counterparty risk and transaction risk.
The Company has developed an infrastructure designed to control, monitor and
manage each type of risk. For a further discussion of these matters, refer to
Notes 8, 9 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

12. Legal Proceedings

Certain significant legal proceedings and matters have been previously
disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997. With respect to the litigation in the National Gypsum case,
DLJSC has appealed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling in January 1998 that the State
Court plaintiff's claims were not barred by the NGC plan of reorganization
insofar as they alleged nondisclosure of certain cost reductions. On May 7,
1998, DLJSC and others were named as defendants in a second action filed in a
Texas State Court brought by the NGC Settlement Trust. The allegations of this
second Texas State Court action are substantially similar to those of the
earlier class action pending in State Court.

In addition to the significant proceedings and matters referred to above, the
Company has been named as a defendant in a number of actions relating to its
various businesses including various civil actions and arbitrations arising out
of its activities as a broker-dealer in securities, as an underwriter and as an
employer and arising out of alleged employee misconduct. Some of the actions
have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of
material or indeterminate amounts. The Company is also involved, from time to
time, in proceedings with, and investigations by, governmental agencies and
self regulatory organizations. Although there can be no assurance that such
other actions, proceedings, investigations and litigation will not have a
material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company in any
future period, depending in part on the results for such period, in the opinion
of management of the Company the ultimate resolution of any such other actions,
proceedings, investigations and litigation against the Company will not have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition and/or results
of operations of the Company.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis of the consolidated results of operations and financial
condition of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and the related Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere herein, and with the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the
Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

         The Company's principal business activities, investment and merchant
banking, securities sales and trading and correspondent brokerage services are,
by their nature, highly competitive and subject to general market conditions,
volatile trading markets and fluctuations in the volume of market activity.
Consequently, the Company's net income and revenues have been and are likely to
continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations, reflecting the impact of many
factors beyond the Company's control including securities market conditions,
the level and volatility of interest rates, competitive conditions and the size
and timing of transactions.

         The U.S. economy remained strong for the first six months of 1998,
despite potential weakening due to the spillover from Asia's economic crisis.
U.S. interest rates and inflation remained low, with the last increase in
interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board occurring in March 1997. The bond
markets rallied during the latter half of the second quarter when the 30-year
Treasury bond reached new record lows. Underwriting volumes for both equity and
high-yield strengthened over the prior year due to increased stock prices and
attractive yields. Trading activity on major exchanges continued to increase to
record volume levels. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard & Poor's
500 Index increased 13.2% and 16.8%, respectively for the first six months of
1998.

Global financial market conditions were generally favorable during the quarter.
European interest rates and currencies have stabilized in anticipation of
economic and monetary union ("EMU"). However, U.S. interest rate policy will
continue to be a primary factor in determining whether the European capital
markets will remain buoyant.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company issued $650.0
million of 6 1/2% Senior Notes and $125.0 million medium-term notes that bear
interest at rates ranging from 6.11%-6.28%. In addition, the Company repaid its
$325 million senior subordinated revolving credit agreement and terminated the
related facility.

         In July 1998, the Company sold an aggregate of five million shares of
newly issued common stock to Equitable and AXA Holdings (Belgium), an affiliate
AXA UAP for $300.0 million in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, under Section 4(2). As a result,
Equitable and its affiliates beneficial ownership of the Company increased to
approximately 73 percent on an undiluted basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's assets are highly liquid with the majority consisting of
securities inventories and collateralized receivables, both of which fluctuate
depending on the levels of proprietary trading and customer business. Such
collateralized receivables consist primarily of resale agreements and
securities borrowed, both of which are secured by U.S. government and agency
securities, and marketable corporate debt and equity securities. In addition,
the Company has significant receivables from customers, brokers and dealers
which turn over frequently. As a securities dealer, the Company may carry
significant levels of trading inventories to meet client needs. As such, the
Company's total assets or the individual components of total assets vary
significantly from period to period because of changes relating to customer
needs, economic and market conditions and proprietary trading strategies. A
relatively small percentage of total assets is fixed or held for a period of
longer than one year. The Company's total assets at June 30, 1998 and December
31, 1997 were $79.6 billion and $70.5 billion, respectively.

         The majority of the Company's assets are financed through daily
operations by repurchase agreements, financial instruments sold not yet
purchased, securities loaned, bank loans, and through payables to brokers and
dealers. Short-term funding is generally obtained at rates related to Federal
funds, LIBOR and money market rates. Other borrowing costs are negotiated
depending upon prevailing market conditions. The Company monitors

                                      16
<PAGE>

overall liquidity by tracking the extent to which unencumbered marketable
assets exceed short-term unsecured borrowings.

         During the second quarter of 1998, the Company amended its $2.0
billion revolving credit facility to increase the aggregate commitment of banks
thereunder to $2.75 billion, of which $1.65 billion may be unsecured. There
were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at June 30, 1998.

         Certain of the Company's businesses are capital intensive. In addition
to normal operating requirements, capital is required to cover financing and
regulatory charges on securities inventories, merchant banking investments and
investments in fixed assets. The Company's overall capital needs are
continually reviewed to ensure that its capital base can appropriately support
the anticipated needs of its business units as well as the regulatory capital
requirements of subsidiaries. Based upon these analyses, management believes
that the Company's debt and equity base is adequate for current operating
levels. The Company has been active in raising additional long-term financing,
including the issuance of $650.0 million of 6 1/2% Senior Notes and $125.0
million medium-term notes during the six months ended June 30, 1998. In
addition, in May 1998, the Company repaid its $325 million senior subordinated
revolving credit agreement and terminated the related credit facility.

         In January 1998, the Company issued 3.5 million shares of
Fixed/Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B, with a liquidation
preference of $50 per share ($175.0 million aggregate liquidation value).

         In January 1998, the Company commenced a $1.0 billion commercial paper
program. Obligations issued thereunder (the "Notes") are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes rank pari
passu with the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. At
June 30, 1998, the $661.1 million of Notes were outstanding under this program.

The Company's current credit ratings of its long-term debt and commercial paper
are as follows:

                                         Long-Term Debt        Commercial Paper

         The Company's principal wholly-owned subsidiary, Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation ("DLJSC") is subject to the capital
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the Commodities Futures Trading Commission and the Chicago
Board of Trade, all of which should ensure the general capital adequacy and
liquidity of broker-dealers and/or futures commission merchants. DLJSC has
consistently maintained capital substantially in excess of the minimum
requirements of such capital rules. At June 30, 1998, DLJSC had aggregate
regulatory "net capital," after adjustments required by Rule 15c3-1 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of approximately $929.1 million, which
exceeded minimum net capital requirements by $789.3 million and which exceeded
the net capital required by DLJSC's most restrictive debt covenants by $514.7
million. Certain of the Company's London-based broker-dealer subsidiaries are
subject to the requirements of the Securities and Futures Authority, a
self-regulatory organization established pursuant to the United Kingdom
Financial Services Act of 1986. Other U.S. and foreign broker-dealer
subsidiaries of the Company are subject to net capital requirements of their
respective regulatory agencies. At June 30, 1998, the Company and its
broker-dealer subsidiaries were in compliance with all applicable regulatory
capital adequacy requirements.

         The Company's overall capital and funding needs are continually
reviewed to ensure that its capital base can support the estimated needs of its
business units.

         The Company continues to explore potential acquisition opportunities
as a means of expanding its business. Such opportunities may involve
acquisitions which are material in size and may require the raising of
additional capital.

CASH FLOWS

         The Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows classify
cash flow into three broad categories: cash flows from operating activities,
investing activities and financing activities. The Company's net cash flows are
principally associated with operating and financing activities, which support
the Company's trading, customer and banking activities.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

         Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998 and 1997, totaled $459.4
million and $198.2 million, respectively, an increase of $186.2 million and
$39.3 million, respectively for the comparable periods.

                                      17
<PAGE>

         Cash used in operating activities totaled $2.8 billion and $4.3
billion for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and
reflects primarily an increase in operating assets. In the first six months of
1998, there were increases in assets including securities borrowed of $3.6
billion, receivables from customers of $2.3 billion and financial instruments
owned of $2.3 billion. These increases were partially offset by increases in
liabilities including financial instruments sold not yet purchased of $2.5
billion and payables to brokers, dealers and other of $1.7 billion. In the
first six months of 1997, there were increases in assets including securities
borrowed of $4.4 billion, financial instruments owned of $1.9 billion and
receivables from brokers, dealers and other of $1.5 billion. These increases
were partially offset by increases in securities loaned of $1.7 billion,
financial instruments sold not yet purchased of $1.4 billion and payables to
customers of $1.1 billion.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, cash of $475.9
million and $173.4 million, respectively, was used in investing activities.
These generally consist of purchases of long-term corporate development
investments and office facilities. Additionally, in 1997, cash was used for the
purchase of net assets related to the Phoenix acquisition.

         For the first six months of 1998 and 1997, net cash provided by
financing activities totaled $3.5 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively, of
which, $2.9 billion and $4.3 billion was provided by short-term financings
(principally repurchase agreements). Additionally, in 1998, $643.1 million was
provided by the issuance of Senior Notes, $175.0 million was provided from the
issuance of Series B preferred stock and $325.0 million was used to repay the
Company's senior subordinated revolving credit facility.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The Company's derivative activities are not as extensive as many of
its competitors. Instead, the Company has focused its derivative activities on
writing over-the-counter ("OTC") options contracts to accommodate its
customers' needs, trading in forward contracts in U.S. government and agency
issued or guaranteed securities, trading in futures contracts on equity-based
indices, interest rate instruments and foreign currencies and entering into
swap transactions. As a result, the Company's involvement in derivative
products is related primarily to revenue generation through the provision of
products to its clients as opposed to covers of the Company's own positions.
The Company's involvement in commodity derivative instruments is not
significant.

         Options Contracts:

         Options contracts are typically written for a duration of less than 13
months. Revenues from these activities (net of related interest expenses) were
approximately $40.8 million and $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively. Option writing revenues are primarily from the
amortization of option premiums.

         The notional value of written options contracts outstanding was
approximately $7.9 billion and $6.5 billion at June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Such written options contracts are substantially covered by
various financial instruments that the Company has purchased or sold as
principal. The overall increase in the notional value of all options was due
primarily to increases in customer activity related to U.S. government and
mortgage-backed securities and currency forward contracts.

         Forward and Futures Contracts:

         As part of the Company's trading activities, including trading
activities in the related cash instruments, the Company enters into forward and
futures contracts primarily involving securities, foreign currencies, indices
and forward rate agreements, as well as options on futures contracts. Such
forward and futures contracts are entered into as part of the Company's
covering transactions and generally are not used for speculative purposes.

         Net trading gains (losses) on forward contracts were $45.5 million and
$(47.7) million and net trading losses on futures contracts were $(26.2)
million and $(25.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

         The notional contract and market values of the forward and futures
contracts at June 30, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

         Swap Agreements:

     The Company enters into swap agreements to manage foreign currency,
interest rate and equity risk.

     The notional (contract) value of swap agreements was approximately $2.1
billion at June 30, 1998. The Company's involvement in swap contracts at June
30, 1997 was not significant.

The notional or contract amounts indicate the extent of the Company's
involvement in the derivative instruments noted above. They do not measure the
Company's exposure to market or credit risk and do not represent the future
cash requirements of such contracts.

MERCHANT BANKING AND BRIDGE LENDING ACTIVITIES

         The Company's merchant banking activities include investments in
various partnerships, for which subsidiaries of the Company act as general
partner, as well as direct investments in connection with its merchant banking
activities. As of June 30, 1998 the Company had investments of $370.1 million
and has commitments to invest up to an additional $781.0 million in connection
with these merchant banking activities.

         The Company is the sponsor of the $1.25 billion DLJ Bridge Fund which
provides short-term loans in connection with DLJ's merchant banking and
financial advisory businesses. The Bridge Fund has a commitment of subordinated
debt from Equitable. Any loans made by the DLJ Bridge Fund would be expected to
be refinanced, and the outstanding amounts repaid, within a short-term period.
At June 30, 1998, the DLJ Bridge Fund had extended $337.1 million of short-term
bridge loans.

HIGH-YIELD AND OTHER NON-INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT

         The Company participates in the underwriting, trading, sales and
holding of high-yield and other non-investment-grade debt. Non-investment-grade
debt is defined as loans to companies rated BB+ or lower as well as non-rated
loans. These instruments generally involve greater risk than investment-grade
debt holdings due to credit considerations, liquidity of secondary trading
markets and vulnerability to general economic conditions. In the second quarter
of 1998, the Company's high-yield and other non-investment grade debt increased
due to the demand for higher-yielding instruments, expansion of the Company's
senior bank debt activities and increased investment activities of the Emerging
Markets Division.

            The Company accounts for its high-yield financial instruments at
market value and other non-investment grade holdings generally at market or
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized currently in earnings.
At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the Company had long and short financial
instruments (excluding derivatives and structured notes) as follows:

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

RISK MANAGEMENT AND VALUE AT RISK

         For a description of the Company's risk management policies and
procedures and value-at-risk ("VAR") model, including such model's assumptions
and limitations, refer to the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's 1997 Annual
Report on form 10-K.

                                      19
<PAGE>

The Company-wide VAR was approximately $19 million and $11 million at June 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The Company-wide VAR is less than the
sum of the individual components below due to the benefit of diversification
among the risks presented below. The VAR for the three main components of
market risk, expressed in terms of theoretical fair values at June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997 is as follows:

</TABLE>

YEAR 2000

         As a result of the Company's recent expansion, entry into new product
markets and its move to new corporate headquarters, many of the Company's newer
communications and data processing systems are Year 2000 compliant. The
Company, however, has undertaken a project to identify and modify non-Year 2000
compliant communications and data processing systems in anticipation of the
Year 2000. Many of the non-Year 2000 compliant systems process transactions
using two-digit date fields for the year of a transaction, rather than the full
four digits. If these systems are not identified and reconfigured, Year 2000
transactions would be processed as year "00," which could lead to processing
inaccuracies and potential inoperability and could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business. At the present time, the Company expects that
most of its significant Year 2000 corrections should be tested and in
production by the end of 1998. Full integration testing of these systems and
testing of interfaces with third party providers will continue through 1999.
However, there can be no assurance that such schedule will be met or the
systems of other companies on which the Company's business is dependent also
will be timely converted or that any such failure to convert by another company
would not have an adverse effect on the Company's business. The total cost of
the project through the end of 1998 is currently estimated to be between $80
and $90 million. Costs related to this project are expensed and the Company has
incurred approximately $63 million of such costs at June 30, 1998.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires
all derivatives to be recognized in the statement of financial condition at
fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999 and should be applied prospectively. Earlier application is permitted.
Since most of the Company's derivatives are carried at fair value, the adoption
of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations or its consolidated statement of financial condition.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company has made in this report, and from time to time may otherwise make
in its public filings, press releases and discussions with Company management,
forward looking statements concerning the Company's operations, economic
performance and financial condition. Such forward looking statements are
subject to various risks and uncertainties and the Company claims the
protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could
differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors
in addition to those discussed elsewhere herein and in the Company's other
public filings, press releases and discussions with Company management,
including (i) the volatile nature of the securities business, (ii) the
competitive nature of the securities business, (iii) the effect of extensive
federal, state and foreign regulation on the Company's business, (iv) market,
credit and liquidity risks associated with the Company's underwriting,
securities trading, market-making and arbitrage activities, (v) potential
losses that could result from the Company's merchant banking activities as a
result of its capital intensive nature, (vi) risks associated with the
Company's use of derivative financial instruments, (vii) the availability of
adequate financing to support the Company's business, (viii) potential
restrictions on the business of, and withdrawal of capital from, certain
subsidiaries of the Company due to net capital requirements (ix) potential
liability under federal and state securities and other laws and (x) the effect
of any future acquisitions.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


         Certain significant legal proceedings and matters have been previously
disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997. With respect to the litigation involving Dayton Monetary
Associates and Charles Davison, DLJSC's motions for summary judgments were
denied in April 1998. In the National Gypsum case, DLJSC has appealed the
Bankruptcy Court's ruling in January 1998 that the State Court plaintiff's
claims were not barred by the NGC plan of reorganization insofar as they
alleged nondisclosure of certain cost reductions. On May 7, 1998, DLJSC and
others were named as defendants in a second action filed in a Texas State Court
brought by the NGC Settlement Trust. The allegations of this second Texas State
Court action are substantially similar to those of the earlier class action
pending in State Court.

         In addition to the significant proceedings and matters referred to
above, the Company has been named as a defendant in a number of actions
relating to its various businesses including various civil actions and
arbitrations arising out of its activities as a broker-dealer in securities, as
an underwriter and as an employer and arising out of alleged employee
misconduct. Some of the actions have been brought on behalf of various classes
of claimants and seek damages of material or indeterminate amounts. The Company
is also involved, from time to time, in proceedings with, and investigations
by, governmental agencies and self regulatory organizations. Although there can
be no assurance that such other actions, proceedings, investigations and
litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations
of the Company in any future period, depending in part on the results for such
period, in the opinion of management of the Company the ultimate resolution of
any such other actions, proceedings, investigations and litigation against the
Company will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
condition and/or results of operations of the Company.


ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         On July 22, 1998, the Company sold an aggregate of five million shares
of newly issued common stock to its parent companies, The Equitable Companies
Incorporated, Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and AXA
Holdings (Belgium), an affiliate of AXA UAP in a private placement. Proceeds
from the sale were $300 million. The shares are exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

further, that EQ shall have the right to assign all or any part of its rights
and obligations under this agreement, including its Purchase Commitment, to an
affiliate of EQ. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the aggregate number of
Shares to be purchased exceed 5% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such issuance, then each Purchaser's Purchase Commitment shall be
reduced proportionately so that the aggregate number of Shares issued pursuant
hereto does not exceed 5% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such issuance. "Purchase Price per Share" means the average of the closing
prices for the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. as of the end
of the regular session, as reported on the Consolidated Tape (the "NYSE Closing
Price"), for the three trading days commencing on July 17, 1998; provided that
the Purchase Price per Share shall not be less than 95% or greater than 105% of
the NYSE Closing Price on July 16, 1998.


     (b) Payment for and delivery of the Shares shall be made at a closing at
the offices of DLJ, on July 22, 1998, at 10:00 a.m. New York City time. The
respective representations of DLJ and the Purchasers set forth in Sections 2
and 3 hereof shall be deemed to be brought down to the date of closing upon
payment of the purchase price and delivery of the Shares.


     (c) Payment for the Shares shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of

DLJ set forth below DLJ's signature block, or by such other means as DLJ and
the Purchasers shall agree. Each Purchaser shall receive a single certificate
evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by it, and
registered in its name.


     2. DLJ represents to the Purchasers that (a) the Shares are duly
authorized, validly issued and free of preemptive rights, and when paid for as
described above will be fully paid and non-assessable, (b) neither DLJ nor
anyone acting on its behalf has taken any action which would subject the sale
of the Shares to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or to the securities laws of any State of
the United States and (c) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by DLJ.


     3. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents to DLJ that (a)
it is acquiring the Shares not with a view to, or for resale in connection
with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Act, (b) it is an
accredited investor and (c) the Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by it.


     4. DLJ and the Purchasers acknowledge that the Shares have not been
registered under the Act; that each of the Purchasers may be deemed to be an
affiliate of DLJ under the Act; that the Shares are "Registrable Securities" as
defined in that Registration Rights and Indemnification Agreement dated as of
October 30, 1995 between DLJ and EQ and the Purchasers shall have the benefit
of that agreement with respect to the Shares; and that the Shares may not be
sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Act or in accordance with an exemption from
the registration requirements of the Act.


     5. It shall be a condition to closing that DLJ shall have delivered to
each Purchaser an opinion of counsel confirming DLJ's representation in Section
2(a) hereof.


     6. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts.

                                  May 29, 1998

To the Banks party to the Credit Agreement referred to below; Chase Securities
Inc., as Arranger; The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Syndication Agent; Donaldson
Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation in its capacity as Syndication Agent;
The First National Bank of Chicago, as Documentation Agent, DLJSC Collateral
Agent and Payment Agent; and The Bank of New York, as Administrative Agent and
Payment Agent.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

   We have acted as special counsel to Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc.,
("DLJ") and Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation ("DLJSC") (each
a "Borrower" and collectively the "Borrowers") in connection with the First
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 29, 1998, (the "Credit
Agreement") among DLJ; DLJSC; the Banks party thereto; Chase Securities Inc.,
as Arranger; DLJSC and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Syndication Agents; The
Bank of New York, as Administrative Agent; and The First National Bank of
Chicago, as Documentation Agent, DLJSC Collateral Agent and Payment Agent. All
capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings
given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

   This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Paragraph 4.03 of the Credit
Agreement.
<PAGE>
                                     -2 -

   In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following
agreements, instruments and other documents:

   (a)     the Credit Agreement;

   (b)     the Notes;

   (c)     the Master Security Agreement dated as of May 30, 1997, as amended
           by Amendment No. 1 to Master Security Agreement dated as of May 29,
           1998, each among DLJSC, the Banks, The First National Bank of
           Chicago as DLJSC Collateral Agent and the Bank of New York as
           Administrative Agent; and

   (d)     such corporate records of the Borrowers and such other documents as
           we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed
           below.

The agreements and instruments referred to in the foregoing lettered clauses
(a), (b), and (c) are collectively referred to as the "Credit Documents".

   In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity
with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.
As to factual matters relevant to this opinion, we have relied upon statements
of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the
Credit Documents and certificates of appropriate representatives of the
Borrowers.

   In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, with respect to
all of the documents referred to in this opinion letter, that (except, to the
extent set forth in the opinions expressed below, as to the Borrowers):

   (i)     such documents have been duly authorized by, have been duly executed
           and delivered by, and constitute legal, valid, binding and
           enforceable obligations of, all of the parties to such documents;

   (ii) all signatories to such documents have been duly authorized; and

   (iii)   all of the parties to such documents are duly organized and validly
           existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to
           execute, deliver and perform such documents.

   Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and
qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as
we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of
the opinion that:

   1. Each of the Credit Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Borrower party to such Credit Document, enforceable against
such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency,
<PAGE>
                                     -3 -

reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the
rights of creditors generally and except as the enforceability of the Credit
Documents is subject to the application of general principles of equity
(regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law),
including, without limitation, (a) the possible unavailability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts
of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

   2. No authorization, approval or consent of, and no filing or registration
with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the United States
of America is required on the part of any Borrower for the execution, delivery
or performance by such Borrower of any of the Credit Documents or for the
borrowings by such Borrower under the Credit Agreement or the granting of a
security interest in the collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement)
pursuant to the Security Agreement.

   3. The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of, and the
consummation by such Borrower of the transactions contemplated by, the Credit
Documents do not and will not violate any applicable law, rule or regulation.

   The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and
qualifications:

     (A) The enforceability of the second paragraph of Section 11.03 of the
Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit
Documents) may be limited by laws rendering unenforceable (i) indemnification
contrary to Federal or state securities laws and the public policy underlying
such laws and (ii) the release of a party from, or the indemnification of a
party against, liability for its own wrongful or negligent acts under certain
circumstances.

    (B) The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Documents to the effect
that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under
certain circumstances.

    (C) We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any
jurisdiction in which any Bank is located (other than the State of New York)
that limit the interest, fees or other charges such Bank may impose, (ii)
Section 4.07(c) of the Credit Agreement, (iii) the second sentence of Section
11.10 of the Credit Agreement, insofar as such sentence relates to the subject
matter jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit
documents, and (iv) the waiver of inconvenient forum set forth in Section 11.10
of the Credit Agreement with respect to proceedings in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York and the waiver in the
antepenultimate sentence of said Section 11.10.

    (D) We wish to point out that the obligations of DLJSC, and the rights and
remedies of the Lenders (as defined in the Security Agreement), under the
Security Agreement may be subject to possible limitations upon the exercise of
remedial or procedural provisions contained in the Security Agreement, provided
that such limitations do not, in our opinion, make the remedies and procedures
that will be afforded to the Lenders inadequate for
<PAGE>
                                     -4 -

the practical realization of the substantive benefits purported to be provided
to the Lenders by the Security Agreement, subject to the economic consequences
of any delay which may result from applicable law, rules, or judicial process.

The foregoing opinions are limited to the Federal laws of the United States of
America, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the law of the
State of New York and the law of the District of Columbia, and we do not
express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We disclaim any
obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or
circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention, or any changes in laws
which may hereafter occur.

   At the request of our clients, this opinion letter is, pursuant to Paragraph
4.03 of the Credit Agreement Amendment, provided to you by us in our capacity
as special counsel to the Borrowers and may not be relied upon by any Person
other than you and your respective successors and assigns and then only in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement without,
in each instance, our prior written consent.

                                          Very truly yours,
                                          WILMER, CUTLER & PICKERING

DESIGN APPROACH

INTRODUCTION

The site of 109-118 Old Broad Street is located opposite the National
Westminster Tower Part of the site lies within the Bank Conservation Area.

GENERAL

The new building is planned around a central internal atrium which
incorporates the main passenger lifts. The main core facilities, including
toilets, and escape staircases are arranged along the party wall boundaries
with Pinners Hall and 119-122 Old Broad Street. A fire core and fire lift is
located in the core adjacent to Pinners Hall. A third core including an
escape stair, a goods lift, disabled toilet, fire core and fire lift is
positioned adjacent to Austin Friars Square to the West.

The building consists of nine levels of which levels 1 to 6 are wholly
planned for office use. At ground level there is B1 accommodation and an
A1/A3 retail unit, adjacent to Pinners Hall separated from the main body of
the building by a pedestrian route that links Old Broad Street with Austin
Friars Square. At lower ground level is further office accommodation
ancillary storage and car parking.

The air handling units, lift motors, and boilers are located in plant rooms
at level 7, with the chillers in an external louvred enclosure. All other
plant is located in the basement.

BUILDING ACCESS AND SERVICING

The main office entrance is in the centre of the Old Broad Street frontage.
Service access to the building, refuse store and car parking for the offices
is from Austin Friars Square.

The retail unit has been designed so that it can be accessed from Old Broad
Street, Austin Friars Square and the pedestrian route.

BUILDING MASSING

The massing of the building responds directly to the adjacent buildings. The
top floor is recessed back from Austin Friars Square and Old Broad Street
bringing the height of the principal portion of these facades in line with
that of Pinners Hall and 119 Old Broad Street respectively. The overall
height of the building has been set to be equivalent to the room levels of
119 Old Broad Street and Pinners Hall.

The composition of the new facades also respect principal cornice, cill and
parapet and two storey base lines on the adjacent buildings.

EXTERIOR FINISHES

  PRINCIPAL ELEVATIONS:

The composition of the elevations to Austin Friars and Old Broad Street are
both based on 6 metre wide bay, the width of which responds to the size and
scale of the major bays of both 10 Austin Friars and Pinners Hall.

The main piers of the building that articulate the 6 metre bay consist of
precast structure columns either side of a limestone clad infill.

The bays have a traditional tripartite vertical subdivision. The major part
of the facade, the middle, reinterprets the traditional device of the masonry
supported bay window using post-tensioned natural limestone. The detailing
expresses the structural nature of the components, with stone used in
compression and stainless steel used in tension.

The top of the facade is articulated by omitting the bay window and providing
a stainless steel balcony and a stainless steel brise-soleil, which echo
cornices and parapets on the adjacent buildings.

At ground and level 1, the floor to ceiling bay windows are replaced by
smaller bay windows. At level 1 the bay is supported from underneath by a
post-tensioned limestone and stainless steel truss. At ground level the bay
window is supported off the ground via metal posts, and sits over a natural
limestone grillage stall riser. Either side of the bay window are small areas
for low level planting.

The main entrance to the offices from Old Broad Street is articulated by
pairing the main piers of the building at closer centres within the three
central bays. The bay windows in the central area changes to a chevron
pattern at upper levels. At ground floor there are fully glazed doors, with a
glazed revolving door for the office entrance.

At high level, where the building sets back, the elevations are simplified
and comprise a metal framed curtain walling system with clear solar control
glass to the vision areas and screen printed glass to the spandrels.

The subsidiary bay at each end of the Old Broad Street elevation, consists of
limestone cladding with "punched" windows, providing a more neutral
transition between Pinners Hall and 119 Old Broad Street and the new
building.

INTERIOR FINISHES

  ENTRANCE:

The entrance area, which links directly to the main passenger lift lobby at
the centre of the atrium, comprises a stone floor and either glass or stone
walls to each of the side walls, and plasterboard ceiling. Set into the stone
floor by the entrance doors is an entrance mat with stainless steel frame.

  ATRIUM:

The floor finish is stone. The walls to all levels of the atrium consist of
frameless glazing, with obscured areas of glass having a screen printed or
acid etched finish, and vision area being clear toughened glass. Areas of
timber grillages are also incorporated at ground and level 1 to provide
visual privacy. The exposed concrete columns and beams are painted white.

A timber or stone reception desk may be positioned by the tenant to enable
access to and from the upper levels of the building to be monitored.

At the centre of the atrium are the passenger lifts. The wall to the lift
shafts off the lobby is silicone glazed glass and the lift doors will be
glazed with stainless steel finished frame where required.

  LIFTS:

The interior of the passenger lifts consists of stone flooring, predominantly
clear glass walls and ceiling, feature lighting and stainless steel
metalwork.

  OFFICE:

The office spaces at lower ground and Levels, 1, 4, 5 and 6 have a 150mm

Subtenant that the conditions to the effectiveness of this Sublease set forth
in Section 30 hereof have been satisfied, and end on January 30, 2014 (the
"Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the
provisions of this Sublease. At Sublandlord's request, Subtenant shall
execute a memorandum setting forth the actual Commencement Date of the Term.
Possession of the Premises shall be delivered to Subtenant on the
Commencement Date. If for any reason Sublandlord does not deliver possession
to Subtenant on the Commencement Date, Sublandlord shall not be subject to
any liability for such failure, the Expiration Date shall not be extended by
the delay, and the validity of this Sublease shall not be impaired, but rent
shall abate until delivery of possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Sublandlord has not delivered possession of the Premises to Subtenant within
sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, then, at any time thereafter and
before delivery of possession, Subtenant may give written notice to
Sublandlord of Subtenant's intention to cancel this Sublease. Such notice
shall set forth an effective date for such cancellation which shall be at
least five (5) days after delivery of such notice to Sublandlord. If
Sublandlord delivers possession to Subtenant on or before such effective
date, this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect. If this Sublease
shall be so canceled, any consideration previously paid by Subtenant to
Sublandlord on account of this Sublease shall be returned to Subtenant, this
Sublease shall thereafter be of no further force or effect, and Sublandlord
shall have no further liability to Subtenant on account of such delay or
cancellation. In addition, if the conditions to the effectiveness of this
Sublease set forth in Section 30 have not been fully satisifed within sixty
(60) days after the date of full execution hereof, and if this Sublease is
not terminated pursuant to Section 30, then, the Abatement Period (as defined
in Section 6.2) shall be extended on a day for day basis for each day after
the expiration of such sixty (60) day period plus the three (3) business day
period referred to in the first sentence hereof, that possession of the
Premises has not been delivered to Subtenant.

   Section 6. Rent

          6.1. Annual Fixed rent. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord annual
fixed rent ("Annual Fixed Rent") pursuant to the schedule set forth below,

Lease including but not limited to the right to set-off contained in Section
21.10 of the First Amendment), at 135 East 57th Street, New York, New York
10022 or at such other place as Sublandlord shall designate from time to time
by notice to Subtenant. Annual Fixed Rent shall be payable in monthly
installments, in advance, on the first day of each month of the Term, subject
to Section 6.2 hereof. All remittances by Subtenant for rent shall be drawn
on a member bank of the New York Clearinghouse Association.

          6.2.   Rent Abatement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1
of this Sublease, provided that Subtenant is not otherwise in default of a
material provision hereunder (after receipt of notice and expiration of any
applicable cure period), from the Commencement Date through November 1, 1998
monthly installments of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent (other than the
charge for electricity) shall be abated in full (the "Abatement Period"). Upon
the expiration of the Abatement Period, monthly installments of Annual Fixed
Rent shall be payable in full in accordance with the terms of Section 6.1.

          6.3.   Other Rent Items. The Annual Fixed Rent does not take into
account increases in Taxes (as defined in Section 6.4) and/or Wage Rate (as
defined in Section 6.5) payable by Subtenant during the Term of this Sublease.
Provision therefor is hereinafter made in Sections 6.4 and 6.5 and the rent
payable hereunder shall be increased and Subtenant shall pay such increases
in Taxes and Wage Rate as Additional Rent (as defined in Section 6.7).
Further, Annual Fixed Rent does not include an electric current charge,
provision for which is made in Section 12 hereof, and Subtenant shall pay
such charge as Additional Rent as provided therein.

          6.4.   Taxes. The Master Lease requires Sublandlord to pay to Master
Landlord a portion of the "Taxes" on the "Real Property", as those terms are
defined in Section 2.3(a) of the Master Lease (the "Taxes"). "Subtenant's
Percentage", as used herein, shall mean a fraction (expressed as a
percentage) of which the numerator is the rentable square foot area of the
Premises and the denominator is the total rentable square foot area of the
Building. In the event that the rentable square feet in the Premises is
reduced pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease or the Master Lease, such
numerator shall be adjusted in accordance with the rentable square feet so
affected, as determined based on the measurements shown on Exhibit H attached
to the Master Lease. In the event that the rentable square feet in the
Building is increased or decreased, such denominator shall be adjusted in the
same proportion as such adjustment is made pursuant to the Master Lease in
accordance with the rentable square feet so increased or decreased, based on
the building measurement systems used in determining the measurements shown
on Exhibit H attached to the Master Lease. As of the Commencement Date,
Subtenant's Percentage by mutual agreement of the parties is (x) 22.23% for
that portion of the Premises located in the East Building ("Subtenant's East
Building Percentage") and 9.08% for that portion of the Premises located in
the Middle Building and West Building ("Subtenant's Middle and West Building
Percentage") and (y) 13.29% for the entire Building without duplication.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall
Subtenant's Percentage of the Taxes exceed the (x) 77.5630% of what
Sublandlord shall pay to Landlord under the Master Lease for the Master
Premises as currently constituted. Throughout the Term, Subtenant shall pay
to Sublandlord the amounts chargeable pursuant to Article 2 of the Master
Lease for increases in Taxes calculated as though "Tenant's East Building
Percentage", "Tenant's Middle and West Building Percentage" and "Tenant's
Percentage" were Subtenant's East Building Percentage,

                                  3
<PAGE>
Subtenant's Middle and West Building Percentage and Subtenant's Percentage,
respectively. Such Taxes or any estimates thereof shall be payable by
Subtenant to Sublandlord as and when the Taxes or such estimates are payable
by Sublandlord to Master Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease, provided that
Subtenant shall receive at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of
the amount due. When adjustments between estimated and actual Taxes are made
under the Master Lease, the obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant
hereunder shall be adjusted in a like manner. If any such adjustment shall
occur after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then the
obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant under this Section 6.4 shall survive
such expiration or termination. Sublandlord shall furnish Subtenant with
copies of any statements submitted by Master Landlord of actual or estimated
Taxes as they relate to the Premises during the Term.

          6.5.   Wage Rate. Pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Master Lease
Sublandlord is required to pay to Master Landlord increases in the "Wage Rate"
over the "Base Wage Rate" (the "Wage Escalation Payment") as such terms are
defined in the Master Lease. Subtenant shall be responsible for Subtenant's
pro rata share of such Wage Escalation Payments calculated in accordance with,
and in the same per rentable square foot amount as set forth in, Section 2.5 of
the Master Lease except that the number of rentable square feet of the Premises
shall be used in place of the number of rentable square feet of the Master
Premises in such calculation. Such Wage Escalation Payments are payable by
Subtenant to Sublandlord as and when the Wage Escalation Payments are payable
by Sublandlord to Master Landlord under the Master Lease except that
Subtenant shall receive at least twenty (20) days prior written notice before
such amount is due.

          6.6   Statements. Subject to Section 2.6 of the Master Lease, any tax
or wage rate comparative statement sent to Subtenant which has been delivered
by Master Landlord to Sublandlord shall be conclusively binding upon Subtenant.

          6.7.   Additional Rent. All amounts over and above, or in addition to,
the Annual Fixed Rent which are payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under the
terms of this Sublease on account of the Premises, including but not limited
to the increases in Taxes described in Section 6.4, the Wage Rate increases
described in Section 6.5, and the electric current charge in Section 12,
shall be deemed "Additional Rent" hereunder and Sublandlord shall have all
the rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment thereof as it would
have had in the event of the nonpayment of any installment of the Annual
Fixed Rent. (The Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes
collectively referred to in this Sublease as the "rent.")

   If Sublandlord shall receive from the Master Landlord any refund of or
credits with respect to any amounts for which Subtenant shall have paid
Additional Rent to Sublandlord or Master Landlord, Sublandlord shall pay or
credit, as the case may be, to Subtenant, within thirty (30) days of receipt
of such refund or credit by Sublandlord, the pro rata portion of such refund
which is equitably attributable to amounts paid by Subtenant as Additional
Rent hereunder. Sublandlord shall reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in
seeking any refund or credit due Subtenant from Master Landlord. If any
action for a refund or credit of rent paid by Subtenant

                                    4
<PAGE>
under this Sublease against Master Landlord in Subtenant's name is barred by
reason of lack of privity, nonassignability or otherwise, then Subtenant, at
Subtenant's sole expense, may bring such action in Sublandlord's name and
Sublandlord shall execute all documents reasonably required therewith;
provided, however, Subtenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublandlord
harmless from all claims, costs, claims, expenses and liabilities, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or
in connection with any such action by Sublandlord, at Subtenant's request, or
by Subtenant. The foregoing obligations shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Sublease.

   Section 7. Security Deposit. (Intentionally Deleted)

   Section 8. Use of the Premises. The Premises shall be used and occupied
only for offices for administrative and support purposes including, but not
limited to, human resources, tax, treasury, technology, internal audit,
internal premises and internal services, graphics, curator, legal and
corporate secretary functions, operations and back office operations and not
for private banking, retail operations or for customers and for no other use
whatsoever. Subtenant will not at anytime use or occupy the premises in
violation of the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building, a copy of
which is annexed as Exhibit J to the Master Lease.

   Tenant and Subtenant acknowledge that Bankers Trust Company shall be a
third party beneficiary to the use restrictions set forth in this Section 8
and Bankers Trust Company shall be entitled independently to enforce such
restrictions by injunction or otherwise. Tenant and Subtenant agree to
execute and deliver at the request of Bankers Trust Company an agreement with
Bankers Trust Company confirming the foregoing.

   Section 9. Assignment and Subletting.

          9.1. General. Neither this Sublease, nor the Term and estate hereby
granted, nor any part hereof or thereof, nor the interest of Subtenant in any
sublease or the rentals thereunder, shall be assigned, mortgaged, pledged,
encumbered or otherwise transferred by Subtenant, and neither the Premises,
nor any part thereof, shall be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act
or omission on the part of Subtenant or anyone claiming under or through
Subtenant, nor shall the Premises be sublet, or offered or advertised for
subletting, or used or occupied or permitted to be used or occupied, or
utilized for desk space or for mailing privileges, by anyone other than
Subtenant or for any purpose other than as permitted by this Sublease, except
(i) in accordance with and subject to all the terms and provisions of the
Master Lease including, without limitation, Articles 3 and 11 thereof, and
(ii) with the prior written consent of Master Landlord and Sublandlord (with
Sublandlord's consent not to be unreasonably withheld) in each instance;
provided, however, Sublandlord hereby agrees that if the Master Landlord
consents to an assignment or a sublet by Subtenant, Sublandlord shall also
consent to such assignment or sublet provided that in the event same shall
increase the obligations of Sublandlord under the

                                    5
<PAGE>
Master Lease, Subtenant hereby agrees to indemnify Sublandlord for any loss,
cost or expense actually incurred by Sublandlord in connection with any
increased obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease.

          9.2. Commissions.  Sublandlord shall have no liability for brokerage
commissions incurred with respect to any assignment of this Sublease or any
sub-subletting of the Premises by or on behalf of Subtenant. Subtenant shall
pay, and shall indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any
and all cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) and
liability in connection with any compensation, commissions or charges claimed
by any broker or agent with respect to any such assignment or subletting.

   Section 10. Incorporation of Master Lease. Except as set forth below, the
terms, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease (collectively, the
"Incorporated Provisions") are incorporated herein by reference. The
provisions below which are deemed deleted from this Sublease are specifically
excluded from the Incorporated Provisions and shall not be binding upon
Subtenant and shall not be incorported into the terms of this Sublease.

modified by the provisions of this Sublease, the Incorporated Provisions
binding or inuring to the benefit of Master Landlord thereunder shall, in
respect of this Sublease, bind or inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, and
the Incorporated Provisions, binding or inuring to the benefit of the tenant
thereunder shall, in respect of this Sublease, bind or inure to the benefit
of Subtenant, with the same force and effect as if such Incorporated
Provisions were completely set forth in this Sublease, and as if the words

"Sublease", and as if the words "Tenant's Initial Construction", or words of

construed to mean "Subtenant's Work" (as defined in Section 32 hereof)
respectively. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, except as

obligate Sublandlord or be construed as obligating Sublandlord to assume or
agree to perform any obligations of Master Landlord or to be responsible for
any representations or warranties of Master Landlord under the Master Lease.

shall be reduced to $93,076;

               (h) with respect to the services to be provided by "Landlord"

               (j) notwithstanding the incorporation herein of Articles 9 and 10
and Section 26.14 of the Original Lease, Subtenant shall be entitled to rent
abatement for the Premises only to the extent rent is correspondingly abated
as to Sublandlord's rent obligation to Master Landlord for the Premises
pursuant to such provisions of the Master Lease; and

                                   7
<PAGE>
               (k) if any of the express provisions of this Sublease shall
conflict with any of the Master Lease provisions incorporated by reference,
such conflict shall be resolved in every instance in favor of the express
provisions of this Sublease.

          To the extent incorporated herein by reference, Subtenant assumes and
agrees to perform the tenant's obligations under the Master Lease during the
Term to the extent that such obligations are applicable to the Premises
except that the obligation to pay annual "Fixed Rent," and "Tenant's East
Building Percentage", "Tenant's Middle and West Building Percentage" and
"Tenant's Percentage" of increases in "Taxes," and increases in the "Wage
Rate" to Master Landlord, as those terms are defined in and pursuant to the
terms of the Master Lease, shall be considered performed by Subtenant to the
extent and in the amount Annual Fixed Rent and Subtenant's East Building
Percentage, Subtenant's Middle and West building Percentage and Subtenant's
Percentage of increases in Taxes and increases in Wage Rate are paid by
Subtenant to Sublandlord in accordance with Section 6 of this Sublease.
Subtenant shall not commit or suffer any act or ommission that will violate
any of the provisions of the Master Lease.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (h) hereinabove, to the
extent that the occupant of the eight (8th) floor of the Master Premises is
subject to the Master Lease and consents to Subtenant's use of any portion of
the tonnage capacity otherwise allocable to the eighth (8th) floor occupant,
Subtenant shall be entitled to increase its tonnage capacity allocations in
clause (h) by such amount.

          Notwithstanding the deletion of Sections 26.16 and 26.17 of the
Master Lease pursuant to clause (a) hereinabove, to the extent that Master
Landlord agrees in writing, at its sole option, to allow Subtenant the rights
granted under either or both of such sections of the Master Lease, such
sections so agreed to by Master Landlord shall be deemed incorporated herein.

those services and utilities which the Master Landlord is required to provide

   Section 14. Time Periods for Performance. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 10 of this Sublease, the time limits contained in the Master Lease
for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act,
condition or covenant on the part of tenant under the Master Lease, as
incorporated herein, or for the exercise by tenant thereunder of any right,
remedy or option incorporated herein are changed for the purpose of
incorporation herein by reference by shortening the same, in each instance,
by two (2) business days, so that, in each instance, Subtenant shall have two
(2) business days less time to observe or perform hereunder than Sublandlord
has as tenant under the Master Lease. If the Master Lease, as incorporated
herein, only allows five (5) days or less for Subtenant to perform any act or
to correct any failure relating to the Premises or this Sublease, then,
Subtenant shall not be in technical default hereunder so long as Subtenant
performs prior to the date or time required for Sublandlord's performance
under the Master Lease.

   Section 15. Performance by Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall not default
under the Master Lease or cause a termination, cancellation or surrender
thereof (other than due to a casualty or eminent domain action) which results
in a termination, cancellation or surrender of this Sublease without
recognition of this Sublease and all of Subtenant's rights and obligations
hereunder by Master Landlord, provided that Master Landlord shall not be
liable for any previous act or omission of Sublandlord under this Sublease.
Sublandlord shall comply with the terms and provisions of the Master Lease,
but Sublandlord shall not be required to furnish, supply or install anything
required under the Master Lease and Subtenant shall look solely to Master
Landlord for such furnishing, supplying and installation. Sublandlord agrees
to promptly send to Subtenant copies of all notices of default pertaining to
the Master Lease which Sublandlord receives during the term of this Sublease.
Except as provided specifically herein, Sublandlord shall have no liability
or responsibility whatsoever for Master Landlord's failure or refusal to
perform under the Master Lease, except to the extent such failure or refusal
to perform (or the interruption of services) is permitted under the terms of
the Master Lease and is due solely to the default of Sublandlord under the
Master Lease or this Sublease. Sublandlord agrees that it shall indemnify and
hold harmless Subtenant from and against any and all loss, claim, damage,
cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and disbursements) which Subtenant shall suffer or incur in connection with a
default by Sublandlord under the Master Lease (other than if such default is
caused by Subtenant) or the voluntary termination, surrender or cancellation
of the Master Lease by Sublandlord (other than due to casualty or eminent
domain action) which results in a termination, cancellation or surrender of
this Sublease without recognition of this Sublease and all of Subtenant's
rights and obligations hereunder by Master Landlord, provided that Master
Landlord shall not be liable for any previous act or omission of Sublandlord
under this Sublease.

<PAGE>
          In the event Sublandlord shall default in the performance of its
obligations under the Master Lease beyond any applicable grace period,
Subtenant shall have the right (to the extent agreed to by Master Landlord)
to cure such default upon five (5) days prior written notice to Sublandlord
of its decision so to do. Sublandlord shall indemnify and hold Subtenant
harmless for all reasonable costs incurred and paid by Subtenant in effecting
such cure.

   Section 16. Enforcement of Rights. If Master Landlord defaults in any of
its obligations under the Master Lease with respect to the Premises, and if,
after written request from Subtenant, Sublandlord elects not to take action,
whether legal action or otherwise, for the enforcement of Sublandlord's
rights against Master Landlord, Subtenant shall have the right to take such
action in its own name and, for that purpose and only to such extent, all the
rights of Sublandlord under the Master Lease with respect to the Premises
shall be and are hereby conferred upon and assigned to Subtenant, and
Subtenant shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent they apply to the
Premises. Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant using commercially
reasonable and diligent efforts in connection with Subtenant's efforts to
enforce Master Landlord's obligations under the Master Lease, or to contest
Master Landlord's computations of Additional Rent or other fees and charges.
In the event that any action by Subtenant hereunder is legally required or
required under the provisions of the Master Lease, to be brought in
Sublandlord's name, any such demands, authorizations and requests, pleadings
and/or other papers that may be reasonably required shall be signed by
Sublandlord. Subtenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless
from all claims, costs and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs, arising out of or in connection with any action by Sublandlord, at
the request of Subtenant, or by Subtenant. Any recovery so obtained by
Subtenant shall be the property of Subtenant. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, Sublandlord's obligation hereunder to cooperate with
Subtenant shall be subject to Subtenant's not being in default of a material
obligation under this Sublease (after notice and expiry of any applicable
grace period). As used herein the term "commercially reasonable efforts"
shall not include, inter alia, the institution of litigation or arbitration
(except with respect to any action by Subtenant at its sole cost which is
required to be brought in Sublandlord's name), or the payment of money or
other consideration (except to the extent that Subtenant agrees to make such
payments on Sublandlord's behalf or reimburse Sublandlord for any such
payments, as elected by Sublandlord).

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Subtenant is not in default
hereunder (including but not limited to its obligation to pay Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent hereunder), in any such extent beyond any applicable notice
and grace periods provided hereby Sublandlord hereby, covenants and agrees
that it shall not exercise its right to terminate the Master Lease and shall
not exercise its right to have Master Landlord restore the Premises (unless
such restoration by Master Landlord is requested by Subtenant within thirty
(30) days of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation proceeding) in
connection with such casualty or condemnation.

                               11

   Section 17. Delivery of Possession. The Premises shall be delivered in
their "as is" condition, broom clean, as of the Commencement Date without
representation or warranty of any kind. Subtenant acknowledges that is has
inspected the Premises and found them to be in acceptable condition.

   Section 18. Insurance. Subtenant shall comply with all of the insurance
requirements and obligations of Sublandlord, as tenant under the Master
Lease, set forth in Article 8 (or any other section) of the Master Lease in
respect of the Premises.

   Section 19. Alterations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4 of
the Master Lease as incorporated herein pursuant to Section 10 hereof, all
references in Article 4 of the Master Lease to "Landlord" shall be deemed to
refer to Master Landlord and Sublandlord; provided, however, that Sublandlord
will grant its consent or approval in any instance where Master Landlord has
granted its consent or approval. Prior to commencing work on any alteration,
addition, or improvement to the Premises ("Alteration") for which Master
Landlord's consent or approval is required pursuant to the terms of Article 4
of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord, a copy of Master
Landlord's consent or approval, as the case may be. Sublandlord and Subtenant
agree that the provisions of the Master Lease incorporated herein pursuant to
Section 10 hereof, including but not limited to Article 4, shall apply to all
work to be performed by, at the request of, or on behalf of Subtenant in the
Master Premises in the same manner as such provisions would apply to any work
of Sublandlord in the Premises under the Master Lease. Subtenant acknowledges
and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sublandlord
shall have no responsibility whatsoever for the installation or proper
functioning of, cost of correcting, or removal upon Sublease termination as
may be required by the Master Lease of any of Subtenant's Alterations (as
opposed to any Alterations to the Premises made by Sublandlord) or any
compliance requirements of the Master Lease in connection therewith, and
Subtenant shall bear the entire cost, responsibility and liability therefor.

   Section 20. Limitations on Sublandlord.

                (a)  Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord has made no
                representations or warranties with respect to the Building or
the Premises except as expressly provided in this Sublease.

                (b)  If Sublandlord assigns its leasehold estate in the Master
                Premises, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to Subtenant
arising thereafter. Subtenant shall then recognize and attorn to
Sublandlord's assignee as the sublandlord under this Sublease.

                (c)  Sublandlord shall not be required to perform any of the
                covenants and obligations of Master Landlord under the Master
Lease and, insofar as any of the obligations of the Sublandlord hereunder are
required to be performed under the Master Lease by Master Landlord, Subtenant
shall rely on and look solely to Master Landlord for the performance thereof.

                               12
<PAGE>
   Section 21. Subtenant's Obligations To Maintain. Subtenant shall keep the
Premises in good order and condition and as otherwise required pursuant to
the Master Lease as incorporated herein.

   Section 22. Subordination to Master Lease. This Sublease is expressly
subject and subordinate to the Master Lease and all of the obligations of
tenant thereunder and if the Master Lease terminates with respect to the
Premises in the event of any re-reentry or dispossession by Master Landlord
under the Master Lease, this Sublease shall terminate unless Master Landlord,
has agreed to deliver to Subtenant a "Landlord's Non-Disturbance Agreement"
as defined in and subject to Section 11.9 of the Master Lease. Sublandlord
agrees to request Landlord's Non-Disturbance Agreement on behalf of Subtenant
in accordance with Section 11.9 of the Master Lease. Sublandlord hereby
covenants and warrants that it shall not terminate, cancel or surrender the
Master Lease, except in connection with a casualty or eminent domain action
(unless Subtenant notifies Sublandlord within thirty (30) days of such
casualty or institution of such action not to exercise its termination,
surrender, or cancellation option), unless it shall have received Master
Landlord's agreement to recognize this Sublease and all of Subtenant's rights
and obligations hereunder provided that Master Landlord shall not be liable
for any previous act or omission of Sublandlord under this Sublease.
Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any
and all claims, suits, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorney's
fees and costs, asserted against or sustained by Sublandlord under the Master
Lease with respect to the Premises or arising out of or in connection with a
termination of the Master Lease resulting from a breach by Subtenant of this
Sublease or a holdover by Subtenant. Subtenant shall not do, anything which
constitutes a default under the terms of the Master Lease or causes a
termination thereof.

   Section 23. Repairs and Maintenance of the Premises. Any repair and
maintenance obligations with respect to the Premises which are the
responsibility of Sublandlord, as tenant under the Master Lease, shall be
performed by Subtenant, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense (except with
respect to any repairs or maintenance which are caused due to the act or
negligence of Sublandlord, which repairs and maintenance shall be at
Sublandlord's sole cost and expense). Subtenant shall promptly notify
Sublandlord of the need for any such repair, even though Sublandlord shall
not be responsible or liable therefor.

   Section 24. Interest on Unpaid Rent. All installments of Annual Fixed
Rent, Additional Rent, and any other charges which are not paid by Subtenant
when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid, at a rate
equivalent to the prime rate in effect from time to time at Citibank N.A.
plus two percent (2%), in no event to exceed the maximum legal rate.

   Section 25. Consent or Approval of Sublandlord and Master Landlord. If the
consent or approval of Master Landlord is required under the Master Lease
with respect to any matter relating to the Premises or this Sublease, then
notwithstanding any other provision hereof, it shall also be required of
Sublandlord hereunder. However, Sublandlord agrees that it shall not

                               13
<PAGE>
withhold or delay its consent or approval provided that the consent or
approval of the Master Landlord has been obtained and that as a result
thereof, Sublandlord does not incur any additional liability or obligations
under the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant in
obtaining the consent or approval of the Master Landlord, and shall, upon
request of Subtenant, promptly make any such request and submit any necessary
information (after Sublandlord's receipt of such information from Subtenant)
for the consent or approval of the Master Landlord. Subtenant shall be
required to send to Sublandlord a copy of any request for consent or approval
delivered to Master Landlord by it. Subtenant shall be responsible for any
costs or expenses payable under the Master Lease or otherwise reasonably
incurred by Sublandlord in connection with requesting for Master Landlord's
consent or approval on behalf of Subtenant with respect to any matter as to
which Master Landlord's consent or approval is required under the Master
Lease or hereunder.

   Section 26. Intentionally Deleted

   Section 27. Survival. Except as otherwise set forth in this Sublease, any
obligations of Subtenant (including, without limitation, rent and other
monetary obligations, repair, removal and restoration obligations and
obligations to indemnify Sublandlord) or Sublandlord, shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease, and the obligated party
shall immediately reimburse the other party for any expense incurred by the
other party in curing the obligated party's failure to satisfy any such
obligation (notwithstanding the fact that such cure might be effected by the
other party following the expiration or earlier termination of this
Sublease).

   Section 28. Attorney's Fees. If Sublandlord or Subtenant shall commence an
action against the other arising out of or in connection with this Sublease,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs of suit and
reasonable attorney's fees.

   Section 29. Brokers. Sublandlord and Subtenant warrant and represent that
they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection
with the negotiation of this Sublease except for Cushman & Wakefield, Inc.
("C&W") and DLJ Realty Services, Inc. ("DLJRS"), and that they know of no
other real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a commission
in connection with this Sublease. Sublandlord shall be responsible for any
commission which may be owed to C&W and DLJRS in connection with this
Sublease pursuant to a separate agreement. Sublandlord and Subtenant each
agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against
any and all liabilities or expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements, arising out of or in connection
with any inaccuracy or alleged inaccuracy in the foregoing representations.

   Section 30. Conditions to Sublease. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, the effectiveness of this Sublease and the rights and obligations of
the parties hereto are subject to (i) Sublandlord's receipt of Master
Landlord's written consent to this Sublease pursuant to the terms of the
Master Lease on or before sixty (60) days from the date of the full execution
hereof with concomitant release of Sublandlord's liabilities under the Master
Lease (the "Condition

                               14
<PAGE>
Expiry Date"); (ii) unless waived in writing by Subtenant on or prior to the
Condition Expiry Date a "Landlord's Non-Disturbance Agreement" from Master
Landlord, as defined in and pursuant to Section 11.9 of the Master Lease;
(iii) unless waived in writing by Subtenant on or prior to (ninety (90) days
from the execution hereof) a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement from Master Landlord's current mortgagee (which will not obligate
such mortgagee, inter alia, to perform work or pay work allowances); and (iv)
unless waived in writing by Subtenant on or before the Condition Expiry Date,
an agreement by Master Landlord with respect to all of the items set forth on
EXHIBIT C attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Master Landlord
Conditions Precedent"). In the event that any of the foregoing conditions (to
the extent not waived in writing by Subtenant, if so waivable) are not
satisfied within the stated time period, then Sublandlord and Subtenant shall
each have the right to terminate this Sublease upon notice to the other, and
upon any such termination this Sublease shall be null and void and of no
further force and effect. Upon Sublandlord's request, Subtenant shall
reasonably cooperate with Sublandlord in obtaining Master Landlord's consent
to this Sublease.

   Section 31. Submission of Sublease to Subtenant. The submission by
Sublandlord to Subtenant of this Sublease shall have no binding force or
effect, shall not constitute an option for the subleasing of the Premises nor
confer any rights, or impose any obligations upon either party until the
execution thereof by Sublandlord and the delivery of an executed original
copy thereof to Subtenant or its representative.

   Section 32. Improvements to Premises.

          32.1 Subtenant's Work. Subtenant intends to install certain initial

Subtenant hereby covenants and agrees that Subtenant will, in a good and
workmanlike manner, make and complete such work and installation in and to
the Premises in conformance with all the requirements of the Master Lease and
this Sublease, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 19
hereof and Section 4 of Exhibit 1 of the First Amendment as such terms are
incorporated herein pursuant to Section 10 hereof. The work set forth in
Subtenant's final plans for its initial Alterations to the Premises approved
in writing by Master Landlord and Sublandlord shall hereinafter be called
"Subtenant's Work".

          32.2 Work Allowance. Sublandlord shall provide to Subtenant an
allowance not to exceed the amount of Six Million Three Hundred Seventy-One
Thousand Five Hundred Twenty and no/100ths Dollars ($6,371,520.00) (the "Work
Allowance") to be applied solely against Subtenant's Work. In the event
Sublandlord fails to make required payments of the Work Allowance within
thirty (30) days of Subtenant's written notice to Sublandlord of its failure
so to do, Subtenant shall have the right to set-off said costs pursuant to
Section 21.10 of the First Amendment of the Master Lease in the event of a
default in said obligation by Sublandlord.

          32.3. Payment. Provided that Subtenant is not in default of any
material obligation hereunder (beyond any applicable notice and cure
periods), the Work Allowance shall

                               15
<PAGE>
be payable in the same manner and pursuant to all the terms and conditions as
set forth for Master Landlord's payment of "Landlord's Contribution" to
Sublandlord contained in Section 4 of Exhibit 1 of the First Amendment and
otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease; provided,
however, in no event shall Sublandlord be liable for any payment of the Work
Allowance to Subtenant for Subtenant's Work unless and until Subtenant shall
have made a requisition for payment and met all the conditions for payment as
set forth in Section 4 of Exhibit 1 of the First Amendment, as incorporated
herein.

          32.4 Inspection. At any reasonable time, upon reasonable prior
notice and in the company of a representative of Subtenant, during the
progress of Subtenant's Work, representatives of Sublandlord and Master
Landlord shall have the right of access to the Premises and inspection
thereof; provided, however, that neither Sublandlord nor Master Landlord
shall incur any liability, obligation or responsibility to Subtenant or any
third party by reason of such access and inspection.

          33. Authority. Each signatory hereto represents that it has the
proper authority to enter into this Sublease and that its execution and
delivery hereof have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership or
corporate action, as the case may be; that no consents or authorizations are
required for the effectiveness of this Sublease; and that this Sublease is
binding and enforceable against it.

   Section 34. Directory Listings. Sublandlord, subject to the provisions of
the Master Lease, shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to
ensure that Master Landlord shall maintain listings on the Building directory
of the name of Subtenant, and the names of any of their officers and
employees, provided that the names so listed shall not take up more than
Subtenant's proportionate share of Sublandlord's space on the building
directory allotted to Sublandlord pursuant to the provisions of the Master
Lease.

   Section 35. Asbestos. Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant within five
(5) days of the date hereof any ACP-5 certificates relating to the Premises

(1)  In February 1998, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
     split (the "stock split") of the Company's common stock, subject to
     stockholder approval, to increase the number of authorized common shares.
     In April 1998, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's
     Certificate of Incorporation whereby the amount of total authorized shares
     of common stock was increased to 300 million shares and the amount of
     total authorized shares of preferred stock was increased to 50 million.
     The stock split was effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend to
     stockholders of record on April 27, 1998, and was paid on May 11, 1998.
     All common share, per common share, restricted stock unit and option data
     have been restated for the effect of the stock split.

(1)  In February 1998, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
     split (the "stock split") of the Company's common stock, subject to
     stockholder approval, to increase the number of authorized common shares.
     In April 1998, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's
     Certificate of Incorporation whereby the amount of total authorized shares
     of common stock was increased to 300 million shares and the amount of
     total authorized shares of preferred stock was increased to 50 million.
     The stock split was effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend to
     stockholders of record on April 27, 1998, and was paid on May 11, 1998.
     All common share, per common share, restricted stock unit and option data
     have been restated for the effect of the stock split.
