2.   Amendments to Offer to Lease

     (a)  The Offer to Lease is hereby amended by deleting section 28 thereof in
          its entirety and substituting the following therefor:

          "28. Within two (2) days of execution by both parties of this Offer to
               Lease,  the  Tenant  covenants  and agrees to provide a letter of
               credit issued to the Landlord in an amount of $1,000,000.00 to be
               held upon the terms and  conditions  contained  in section 6.3 of
               the Lease (the "Security Deposit").  Upon five (5) business days'
               notice  that  the  Landlord   will   commence   pouring  for  the
               foundations/footings  for the Building,  the Tenant covenants and
               agrees to increase the Security  Deposit to  $3,750,000.00  on or
               before the date the Landlord commences such pouring.  Thereafter,
               the Tenant  covenants and agrees to increase the Security Deposit
               to an amount equal to two (2) years' gross rent (for example, the
               Security  Deposit  would be  $7,855,000.00  if the gross rent was
               $62.84 per square foot and the Rentable  Area of the Premises was
               125,000  square  feet) on or before the  Commencement  Date.  The
               terms  of  Exhibit  "F"  attached  to the  Lease,  as well as the
               provision  of  section  6.3  of the  Lease  requiring  that  cash
               proceeds be held in trust in interest-bearing  certificates shall
               apply to all of the security provided under this clause,  mutatis
               mutandis."

          be part of the Offer to Lease and the  Offer to Lease  shall  from the
          date of this Agreement be read in conjunction with this Agreement.

     (b)  This  Agreement  shall  henceforth  have effect so far as practical as
          though all of the  provisions of the Offer to Lease and this Agreement
          were, as appropriate, contained in one instrument.

     (c)  All of the  provisions  of the Offer to Lease,  except only insofar as
          the  same  may be  consistent  with  the  express  provisions  of this
