NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good or valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree that effective

unless sooner terminated as provided herein.
Section 1.02 -- Renewal Term. Provided Tenant is not then in default
under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, Tenant
shall have the option to renew this Lease for one (1) period of four

contained herein for the Initial Term, except that the rent shall be
as provided in Article Three. Tenant shall exercise said option by
written notice to Landlord not less than one hundred eighty (180) days
prior to expiration of the Initial Term."
2. Article Three of the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and the
following shall be substituted therefor:
"ARTICLE THREE -- RENT. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Landlord,
promptly when due, without notice or demand, and without set-off or
deduction, Rent for the Premises as follows:
(a) From the Commencement Date through June 30, 1999, the sum of One

(c) For the first two (2) years of the Renewal Term (July 1, 2000

($156,000) Dollars per annum ($8.00 per sq. ft.), payable in
twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments of Thirteen Thousand Eight
Hundred Twelve 50/100 ($13,000) Dollars each; and
(d) For the last two (2) years of the Renewal Term (July 1, 2002

Rent shall be payable at the address of the Landlord set forth in
Article Twenty of the Lease, or at such other place as Landlord may
from time to time designate by written notice to Tenant."
3. The following provision shall be added to the Lease as Section 4.03:
"Section 4.03 -- Increase in Real Estate Taxes. Tenant shall reimburse
and pay to Landlord as Additional Rental, any increases in real estate
taxes attributable to Premises over those paid for the calendar year
1998 ("Base Year"), which taxes are payable by Landlord pursuant to
Article Five of the Lease. Real estate taxes are defined to mean all
taxes and assessments, general, special or otherwise, if any, levied,
assessed or imposed under governmental authority upon or with respect
to the Premises and/or the land upon which it is located, which become
payable by Landlord annually."
4. The following provision shall be added to the Lease as Section 25.08:
"Section 25.08" -- Right to Lease Additional Building. Provided Tenant
is not then in default under any of the terms or conditions of this
Lease, Tenant shall have the right to lease the building adjacent to
the Premises being a single story five thousand (5,000) sq. ft.
structure located at 1402 East Schaaf Road (the "Expansion Premises")
upon vacation by the current tenant of the Expansion Premises, on the
same terms and conditions contained in this Lease (including the same
per square foot rental rate). Tenant shall exercise said option by
giving Landlord written notice thereof on the earlier of one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, or
within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from
Landlord of the vacation of the Expansion Premises by the current
tenant NRP Group, Inc. Landlord represents that the lease of NRP
Group, Inc. currently expires on June 30, 1999. Tenant's failure to
exercise said option within the said time period shall be deemed a
waiver of said option. In the event Tenant desires to lease the
Expansion Space, Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease
confirming the lease of the Expansion Space, which shall provide the
same terms and conditions as this Lease including the same rental per
square foot for the Expansion Space."
5. In further consideration of this Agreement, Tenant's parent company MIM
Corporation will execute a Lease Guaranty substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit "A".
6. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Lease remains unmodified and in
full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Amendment as of
the date first above written but have actually executed this Amendment on the
dates set forth in the acknowledgments hereof.
