            of any such agents (collectively, the "LESSOR RELATED PARTIES")
            harmless from all claims of any brokers other than The Irving Hughes

            respective principals and members of any such agents (collectively,
            the "LESSEE RELATED PARTIES") harmless from all claims of any
            brokers claiming to have represented Lessor in connection with this
            Amendment.

            contained in the Lease, Lessee hereby waives any and all rights

            hereinafter in effect.

      6.09. Equity Office Properties Management Corp. ("EOPMC") is an affiliate
            of Lessor and represents only the Lessor in this transaction. Any
            assistance rendered by any agent or employee of EOPMC in connection
            with the Lease or any subsequent amendment or modification hereto
            has been or will be made as an accommodation to Lessee solely in
            furtherance of consummating the transaction on behalf of Lessor, and
            not as agent for Lessee.

                                       3
