DELAYED             5. (a) If Landlord shall be unable to give possession of the
POSSESSION          Premises on the Lease Commencement Date specified in Section
                    2 of this Lease for any reason, such failure to do so shall
                    not affect or impair the validity of this Lease or the
                    obligations of Tenant hereunder, except as expressly
                    provided herein, and Landlord shall not be subject to any
                    liability for damages for such failure to give possession on
                    said date. In such event, Landlord shall notify Tenant in
                    writing setting forth a new Lease Commencement Date as
                    specified in Section 2 of this Lease. Unless such delay is
                    due to the fault of Tenant, the Base Rent reserved and
                    covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence until the
                    date that possession of the Premises is given to Tenant, or

                    months after the Lease Commencement Date specified in
                    Section 2, then Tenant shall have the option to cancel this
                    Lease after such date by giving THIRTY (30) days' prior
                    written notice of such termination to the other party. If
                    Landlord shall tender possession of the Premises to Tenant
                    after Tenant has given notice such notice but prior to the
                    expiration of such THIRTY (30) day period, any notice given
                    by Tenant shall thereupon be nullified. Upon any such
                    cancellation becoming effective, Landlord and Tenant shall
                    be entirely relieved of the obligations hereunder, and any
                    security deposit given by Tenant to Landlord shall be

                    consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
                    withheld as set forth hereinabove.

ALTERATIONS         alterations, additions, or improvements, structural or
                    otherwise, or install any fixtures (hereinafter collectively
                    referred to as "Alterations"), in or to the Premises or the
                    Building without the prior written consent of Landlord. All
                    of such Alterations permitted by Landlord must conform to
                    all rules and regulations established from time to time by
                    the Underwriters' Association of the local area and by the
                    Landlord and conform to all requirements of the Federal,
                    State and local governments. Prior to the commencement of
                    work on any Alterations, the Landlord's written approval
                    must be obtained as to (i) the contractor(s) and
                    subcontractor(s) selected to perform such work, and (ii)
                    comprehensive plans and Specifications showing all the

                    effect of the proposed Alterations on the mechanical and
                    electrical systems of the Building. Landlord shall have the
                    right to stop such work if the Landlord or its designated
                    agent determines that such work is not being done in a
                    workmanlike manner or in accordance with the plans and
                    specifications provided to Landlord. In such event, Tenant
                    shall promptly correct the problem(s) which give rise to the
                    work stoppage, and if Tenant fails to do so within a time
                    period determined by Landlord to be reasonable, then
                    Landlord may, at its sole option, correct such problem(s),
                    or complete the Alterations, or remove the Alterations and
                    restore the Premises to their original condition, and Tenant
                    shall be liable for the costs of such action as additional
                    rent. Copies of all plats, plans, sketches, permits,
                    samples, etc. which are prepared or obtained in the course
                    of such Alterations shall be provided to the Landlord or its
                    designated agent no later than TEN (10) days after such are
                    prepared or obtained. The Tenant agrees to pay to the
                    Landlord or its designated agent a reasonable inspection fee
                    and to allow inspection from time to time during the period
                    of construction of all Alterations. In addition, Tenant
                    agrees to furnish "as built" plans and specifications for
                    all Alterations within a reasonable period of time after
                    completion of Alterations, and to pay to Landlord, or its
                    designated agent, a reasonable fee for updating the master
                    reproducible Building blueprint to show the Alterations.

                    (b) Prior to commencing construction on any Alterations
                    approved by Landlord, Tenant agrees to obtain and deliver to
                    Landlord written and unconditional waivers of mechanic's and
                    materialman's liens upon the Property for all work, labor
                    and services to be performed and materials to be furnished,
                    by them in connection with such work, signed by all
                    contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, and laborers to
                    become involved in such work. If notwithstanding the
                    foregoing, any mechanic's or materialmen's lien is filed
                    against the Property for work claimed to have been done for,
                    or materials claimed to have been furnished to,

                    If Tenant shall fail to discharge any such mechanic's or
                    materialman's lien, Landlord may, at its option, its written
                    consent to Tenant's making any such Alterations, such
                    written consent shall not be deemed to be an agreement or
                    consent by landlord to subject Landlord's interest in the
                    Property to any mechanic's or materialman's liens which may

                    therewith, as additional rent payable with the installment
                    of Monthly Base Rent next becoming due; it being hereby
                    expressly covenanted and agreed that such discharge by
                    Landlord shall not be deemed to waive or release the default
                    of Tenant in not discharging the same. It is understood and
                    agreed by Landlord and Tenant that any such Alterations
                    shall be constructed on behalf of Tenant. It is further
                    understood and agreed that, in the event Landlord shall give
                    its written consent to Tenant's making any such Alterations,
                    such written consent shall not be deemed to be an agreement
                    or consent by landlord to subject Landlord's interest in the
                    Property to any mechanic's or materialman's liens which may
                    be filed in respect of any such Alterations made by or on
                    behalf of Tenant.

                    and shall remain upon the Premises and be surrendered with
                    Premises at the expiration or termination of this Lease, or
                    any renewal or extension period, without disturbance,
                    molestation or injury. Should the Landlord elect that
                    Alterations made by the Tenant upon the Premises be removed
                    upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, or any
                    renewal period, the Tenant hereby agrees to cause same to be
                    removed at the Tenant's sole cost and expense, and to
                    restore the Premises to the original improved condition, on
                    or before the expiration or termination of this Lease or any
                    renewal period. Should Tenant fail to remove the same or
                    restore the Premises, the Landlord may cause same to be
                    removed and/or the Premises to be restored at the Tenant's
                    expense, and the Tenant hereby agrees to pay to the Landlord
                    the cost of such removal and/or restoration together with
                    any and all damages which the Landlord may suffer and
                    sustain by reason of the failure of the Tenant to remove the
                    same and/or restore the Premises as herein provided.

                    its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall have the
                    right to remove, prior to the expiration of the Term of this
                    Lease, all movable equipment, furniture or furnishings which
                    are not affixed to the Premises or the Building and which
                    were installed in the Premises at the expense of Tenant. If
                    such property of Tenant is not removed by Tenant prior to
                    the

                    become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered
                    with the Premises as a part thereof, or, at Landlord's
                    option, Landlord may cause the same to be removed and the
                    Premises to be restored to their original improved
                    condition, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay to Landlord the
                    cost of such removal and restoration together with any and
                    all damages which Landlord may suffer and sustain by reason
                    of the failure of Tenant to remove the same and restore the
                    Premises or Building as herein provided.

                    inside of the Premises or Building, except on the
                    directories and doors of offices, and then only in such
                    size, color and style as the Landlord shall approve.
                    Landlord shall have the right to prohibit any advertisement,
                    or display of items of the Tenant, wherever display or

                    description shall be received into the Building or carried
                    in the elevators, except as approved by the Landlord. All

                    of the Landlord and in accordance with Landlord's reasonable
                    rules and instructions; however, Landlord shall not be

                    personal property there delivered or deposited. Landlord
                    shall have the right to prescribe the weight, method of
                    installation, and position of safes or other heavy fixtures
                    or equipment. All damage done to the Building by delivery,

                    furniture or equipment, shall be repaired at the expense of
                    Tenant.

                    electrically operated equipment or other machinery, except
                    typewriters, adding machines, copiers, personal computers,
                    and such other office machinery and equipment as is normally
                    used in the operation of Tenant's business, without
                    obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall
                    not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but may be
                    conditioned upon the payment by Tenant of additional rent in
                    compensation for any excess consumption of water and/or
                    electricity as may result from the operation of said
                    equipment or machinery. Tenant shall not install any
                    equipment of any kind or nature which shall or may
                    necessitate changes, replacements, or additions to, or cause
                    an abnormal increase in its use of the water, plumbing,
                    heating, air conditioning, or electrical systems, which
                    serve the Premises, without the prior written consent of
                    Landlord. Such consent shall not be withheld unreasonably,
                    but may be conditioned

                    upon the payment of Tenant of the cost of such changes,
                    replacements, additions, or increased use. Notwithstanding
                    the foregoing, in the event that office equipment or
                    mechanical equipment used by Tenant in the Premises shall
                    cause noise or vibration that may be transmitted to any part
                    of the Building to such a degree as to be objectionable to
                    Landlord or any other tenant, Tenant shall install, at its
                    own expense, vibration eliminators or silencing devices
                    sufficient to eliminate such noise and/or vibration. Tenant
                    shall not install in the Premises any fixtures, equipment,
                    machinery, furniture or furnishings which place a load upon
                    the floor exceeding the designed floor load capacity.

INSPECTIONS;        14. Tenant agrees to allow Landlord, its agents or employees
ENTRY               to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to examine,
                    inspect or protect the same; to prevent damage or injury to
                    the same and/or to any other portion of the Building; to
                    make such alterations, additions, improvements and repairs
                    to the Premises or adjacent portions of the Building as
                    Landlord may deem necessary or desirable; or to exhibit the
                    same to prospective tenants during the last SIX (6) months
                    of the Term of this Lease, or any renewal or extension
                    period, or to prospective purchasers of the Building or any
                    portion thereof at any time. None of the same shall be
                    construed as an eviction, actual or constructive. The rent
                    reserved shall not abate while such alterations, additions,
                    improvements or repairs are being made, or because of such
                    inspections or exhibitions, whether by reason of loss or
                    interruption of Tenant's business or otherwise. Landlord
                    agrees to make all reasonable efforts to minimize any
                    disruption of Tenant's business by reason of such
                    activities. Landlord's right of entry for any purpose shall,
                    however, be subject to any State or Federal laws and
                    regulations that may currently enlist or may become
                    applicable because of any secret, confidential, or other
                    restricted activities carried on by tenant in the Premises.

                    business nor will Tenant place any equipment in or about the
                    Premises or the Property which will, in any way, increase

                    Bureau to be due to any activity or equipment of Tenant in
                    or about the Premises or the Property, such statements shall
                    be conclusive evidence that the increase in such rate is due
                    to such activity or equipment, and, as a result thereof,
                    Tenant shall be liable for such increase and shall reimburse
                    Landlord therefor upon demand. Any such sum due Landlord

                    the other party, its principals, agents and employees, with
                    respect to losses payable under such policies, or

BANKRUPTCY          18. All of the terms and provisions of this paragraph 18 are
                    made expressly subject to and governed by the provisions of
                    the United States Bankruptcy Code and the orders, rulings
                    and other determination of any bankruptcy court of
                    appropriate jurisdiction relating to the Tenant and/or this
                    Lease. Thus, any provision of this paragraph which is
                    contrary to or in any way inconsistent with the provisions
                    of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any order, ruling or
                    other determination of any bankruptcy court of appropriate
                    jurisdiction shall, be deemed invalid and of no force and
                    effect.

                    (a) In the event that Tenant shall become a Debtor under
                    Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Trustee or Tenant
                    shall elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of
                    assigning the same or otherwise, such election and
                    assignment may only be made if all of the terms and
                    conditions of subsection (b) and subsection (d) of this
                    Section 18 are satisfied. If such Trustee shall fail to
                    elect or assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after the
                    filing of the Petition, this Lease shall be deemed to have
                    been rejected. Landlord shall be thereupon immediately
                    entitled to possession of the Premises without further
                    obligation to Tenant or Trustee, and this Lease shall be
                    canceled, but Landlord's right to be compensated for damages
                    in such liquidation proceeding shall survive.

                    (b) In the event that a Petition for reorganization or
                    adjustment of debts is filed concerning Tenant under
                    Chapters 11 and 13 the Bankruptcy Code, or a proceeding is
                    filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and is
                    transferred to Chapter 11 or 13, the Trustee or Tenant, as
                    Debtor-In-Possession, must elect to assume this Lease within
                    SEVENTY-FIVE (75) days from the date of the filing of the
                    Petition under Chapters 11 or 13, or the Trustee or
                    Debtor-In-Possession shall be deemed to have rejected this
                    Lease. No election by the Trustee or Debtor-In-Possession to
                    assume this Lease, whether under Chapters 7, 11 or 13, shall
                    be effective unless each of the following conditions, which

                    which, in Landlord's judgment, would be most beneficial to
                    all of the tenants of the Building and would enhance the
                    image, reputation, and profitability of the Building.

                    assignment.

                    (e) When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee or
                    Debtor-In-Possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable
                    use and occupancy charges for the use of the Premises or any
                    portion thereof, such charges shall not be less than the
                    Base Rent as defined in this Lease and other monetary
                    obligations of Tenant for the payment of operating expenses,
                    real estate taxes, and similar charges.

                    (f) Neither Tenant's interest in the Lease, nor any lesser
                    interest of Tenant herein, nor any estate of Tenant hereby
                    created, shall pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for
                    the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, or
                    otherwise by operation of law Under the laws of any state
                    having jurisdiction of the person or property of Tenant
                    (hereinafter referred to as the "state law") unless Landlord
                    shall consent to such transfer in writing. No acceptance by
                    Landlord of rent or any other payments from any such
                    trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be
                    deemed to have waived, nor shall it waive the need to obtain
                    Landlord's consent of Landlord's right to terminate this
                    Lease for any transfer of Tenant's interest under this Lease
                    without such consent.

                    (g) In the event the estate of Tenant created hereby shall
                    be taken in execution or by other process of law, or if
                    Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder
                    (hereinafter referred to as the "guarantor") shall be
                    adjudicated insolvent pursuant to the provisions of

                                       15
<PAGE>

                    any present or future insolvency law under state law, or if
                    any proceedings are filed by or against the guarantor under
                    the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar provisions of any future
                    federal bankruptcy law, or if a Receiver or Trustee of the
                    property of Tenant or the guarantor shall be appointed under
                    state law by reason of Tenant's or the guarantor's
                    insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due
                    or otherwise, or if any assignment shall be made of Tenant's
                    or the guarantor's property for the benefit of creditors
                    under state law, then and in such event Landlord may, at its
                    option, terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant
                    hereunder by giving Tenant written notice of the election to
                    so terminate within THIRTY (30) days after the occurrence of
                    such event.

                    As used in this Section 18, the term "Tenant" shall include
                    any surety or other guarantor of this Lease.

CASUALTY            19. In the event of damage by fire or other casualty to the
                    Premises or any part thereof, this Lease shall not be
                    terminated unless otherwise provided hereinafter, but
                    Landlord shall diligently proceed to repair and restore the
                    same. During the period that Tenant is deprived of the use
                    of the damaged portion of the Premises, provided that such
                    damage was not caused by the negligence or willful
                    misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
                    visitors, guests or invitees, the rent for the remainder of
                    the Premises shall be that portion of the total rent which
                    the area remaining that can be occupied bears to the total
                    area of the Premises, so long as Tenant shall be able to
                    operate its business normally; if Tenant shall be unable to
                    operate its business normally, then rent shall be abated
                    during such period. If during the Term of this Lease the
                    Premises shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty as to
                    be untenantable, then unless said damage be repaired within
                    ONE HUNDRED TWENTY (120) days after said fire or other
                    casualty, either party, upon written notice to the other
                    party given at any time following the expiration of ONE
                    HUNDRED TWENTY (120) days thereafter, may terminate this
                    Lease, in which case the rent and additional rent shall be
                    apportioned and paid to the date of said fire or other
                    casualty. In the event that the Building is so severely
                    damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (although the
                    Premises may not be affected) that Landlord shall decide
                    within SIXTY (60) days following such event of casualty not
                    to rebuild or construct the Building, then Landlord shall
                    give written notice to Tenant and this Lease and the tenancy
                    hereunder shall terminate in accordance with such notice.

CONDEMNATION        20. (a) Tenant agrees that if the Premises or a substantial
                    part thereof shall be taken, or sold under the threat of
                    condemnation, for public or quasi-public use or purpose by
                    or to any competent authority, this Lease shall fully
                    terminate as of the date of any such taking. Tenant shall
                    have no claim against Landlord and shall have no claim or
                    right to any portion of the award which may be made to
                    Landlord as a result of any such

                                       16
<PAGE>

                    condemnation; all rights of Tenant to damages therefor, if
                    any, are hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord. Upon such
                    condemnation or taking, the Term of this Lease shall cease
                    and terminate from the date of such taking or condemnation,
                    and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the
                    value of any unexpired term of this Lease, leasehold
                    improvements, or good will. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                    Tenant shall be free to pursue a separate claim against the
                    condemning authority for the depreciated value of its
                    leasehold improvements, provided that any award to Tenant
                    shall not result in a diminution of any award to Landlord.

                    (b) If less than a substantial part of the Premises is taken
                    or condemned, the rent for the remainder of the Premises
                    shall be that portion of the total rent which the area
                    remaining that can be occupied bears to the total area of
                    the Premises, effective on the date when title vests in such
                    governmental authority. The Lease shall otherwise remain in
                    full force and effect. For purposes hereof, a substantial
                    part of the Premises shall be considered to have been taken
                    if Tenant shall be unable to operate its business in its
                    normal and customary manner.

DEFAULT             21. (a) It is agreed that Tenant shall be in default if
                    Tenant shall fail to pay the rent (including any additional
                    rent) at the time the same shall become due and payable as
                    provided hereunder in Section 3(a) of this Lease, and Tenant
                    shall not cure such default within TEN (10) days after the
                    date due and payable for payment of such rent; or if Tenant
                    shall breach, violate, fail, or neglect to keep and perform
                    any of the other terms, covenants, or conditions herein
                    contained, or contained in the Building Instruments, and
                    Tenant shall not cure such breach within THIRTY (30) days
                    after written demand by Landlord therefor, or, if such
                    breach cannot reasonably be cured within such period, Tenant
                    shall fail to diligently attempt to cure such breach, or if
                    the Premises shall become vacant or abandoned (provided that
                    Landlord shall not construe any vacation or abandonment of
                    the Premises before the expiration of the Term hereof as a
                    default so long as Tenant continues to comply with all
                    covenants and conditions of the Lease).

                    (b) In the event of default by Tenant, then and in each such
                    case, Landlord may treat the occurrence of such event as a
                    breach of this Lease, and in addition to any and all other
                    rights or remedies of Landlord in this Lease or at law or in
                    equity provided, it shall be, at the option of Landlord,
                    without further notice or demand of any kind to Tenant or
                    any other person:

                    (i) The right of Landlord, even though it may have relet the
                    Premises as hereinbelow provided, to declare the Lease Term
                    ended and to re-enter the Premises and take possession
                    thereof and remove all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall
                    have no further claim thereon or thereto;

                                       17
<PAGE>

                    (ii) The right of Landlord to bring suit for the collection
                    of rent and other charges, as it accrues pursuant to the
                    terms of this Lease, and damages (including without
                    limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and the cost of
                    renovating the Premises) without entering into possession of
                    said Premises or canceling this Lease;

                    (iii) The right of Landlord to re-enter or retake possession
                    of the Premises from Tenant by summary proceedings or
                    otherwise and to remove, or cause to be removed, Tenant or
                    any other occupants from the premises in such manner as
                    Landlord shall deem advisable with or without legal process
                    and using self-help if necessary, and it is agreed that the
                    commencement and prosecution of any action by Landlord in an
                    unlawful detainer, ejectment or otherwise or any execution
                    of any judgment or decree obtained in any action to recover
                    possession of the Premises or any other re-entry and removal
                    shall not be construed as an election to terminate this
                    Lease whether or not such entry or re-entry be had or taken
                    under summary proceedings or otherwise, and shall not be
                    deemed to have absolved or discharged Tenant from any of its
                    obligations or liabilities for the remainder of the Term.
                    Tenant shall, notwithstanding any such entry or re-entry,
                    continue to be liable for the payment of rent and the
                    performance of the other covenants, conditions and
                    agreements by Tenant to be performed as set forth in this
                    Lease, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all monthly
                    deficits, after any such reentry, in monthly installments as
                    the amounts of such deficits from time to time are
                    ascertained. In the event of any such ouster, Landlord shall
                    have the right but not the duty to rent or lease the
                    Premises to some other person, firm or corporation (whether
                    for a term greater or less than or equal to the unexpired
                    portion of the Term or whether the space leased by the new
                    lease includes more or less floor area than the Premises)
                    upon such terms and conditions and for such rental as the
                    Landlord may deem proper and to collect said rental and any
                    other rental that may thereafter become payable. In such
                    event, the rentals received by Landlord from such reletting
                    shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness
                    other than the rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord;
                    second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting
                    (including without limitations the making of any
                    alterations, repairs or decorations in the Premises which
                    Landlord deems advisable); third, to the payment of the cost
                    of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; third, to
                    the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the
                    residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in
                    payment of future rent as the same may become due and
                    payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals
                    received from such reletting during any month, which is
                    applied to the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the
                    rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then
                    Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord. Such
                    deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly; Tenant
                    shall have no right to any excess. Tenant shall also pay to
                    Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses,
                    including, but not limited to,

                                       18
<PAGE>

                    brokerage commissions and attorneys' fees, incurred by
                    Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and
                    repairs not covered by the rental received from such
                    reletting. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as
                    obligating the Landlord to relet the whole or any part of
                    the Premises whatsoever. In the event of any entry or taking
                    possession of the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord shall have
                    the right, but not the obligation, to remove therefrom all
                    or any part of the personal property located therein and may
                    place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the
                    expense and risk of the owner or owners thereof. The terms
                    "re-enter or "re-entry" as used in this Lease are not and
                    shall not be restricted to their technical meaning but are
                    used in their broadest sense.

                    (c)  If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease under the
                    provisions set forth above, Landlord may recover from Tenant
                    as damages (all of which shall be immediately due and
                    payable from Tenant to Landlord), in addition to its other
                    remedies:

                         (i)   Any unpaid rent, including interest thereon,
                    which is due and owing at the time of such termination; plus

                         (ii)  That rent, including interest thereon, which
                    would have been earned after termination until the time of
                    judgment; plus

                         (iii) A sum representing liquidated damages and not
                    penalty in an amount equal to the excess of the Base Rent
                    for the Premises at the time of termination and the
                    additional rent provided for in Section 4 above for the year
                    in which this Lease shall be terminated multiplied by the
                    number of years and fraction of a year then constituting the
                    remainder of the Term hereof, over the rental value of the
                    Premises at the time of termination for such unexpired Term,
                    discounted at a rate of SEVEN percent (7%) per annum to
                    present value, less commissions, advertising, cost of
                    repairs and other expenses incidental to reletting of such
                    Premises.

                    Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right
                    of the Landlord to prove and obtain as liquidated damages in
                    any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or
                    arrangement proceeding an amount equal to the maximum
                    allowed by any statute or rule of law governing such
                    proceedings and in effect at the time when such damages are
                    to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal
                    to or less than the amount of the excess referred to in the
                    preceding sentence. In determining the rental value of the
                    Premises, the commercially reasonable rental realized by any
                    reletting accomplished or accepted by Landlord within a
                    reasonable time after termination of this Lease, shall be
                    deemed, prima facie, to be the rental value.

                    (iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for
                    all the detriment directly caused by Tenant's failure to
                    perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the
                    ordinary course of things would be likely to result
                    therefrom including without limitation to cost of renovating
                    the Premises and reasonable attorneys' fees; plus

                    (v) At Landlord's election, such other amounts, in addition
                    to or in lieu of the foregoing, as may be permitted from
                    time to time by applicable law.

                    (d) In the event of default, all of the Tenant's fixtures,
                    furniture, equipment, improvements, additions, alterations,
                    and other personal property shall remain on the Premises and
                    in that event and continuing during the length of said
                    default, Landlord shall have the right to take exclusive
                    possession of same and to use the same, rent or charge free,
                    until all defaults are cured or, at its option, at any time
                    during the Lease Term, to require Tenant to forthwith remove
                    same. In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall have
                    a lien upon the property of Tenant in the Premises during
                    the Lease Term for the amount of any unpaid rent or other
                    sum due from Tenant hereunder. Except upon expiration of
                    this Lease where no default exists in the payment of rent or
                    other sums due from Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall not
                    remove any of Tenant's property from the Premises without
                    the prior written consent of Landlord, other than pursuant
                    to sale thereof in the regular course of its business, and
                    Landlord shall have the right and privilege at its sole
                    option and discretion, to take possession of all property of
                    Tenant in the Premises, to store the same in said Premises,
                    or to remove it therefrom and store it in such place as may
                    be selected by Landlord, at Tenant's risk and expense, in
                    accordance with such lien and of any rights of distraint it
                    may possess against Tenant's said property.

                    (e) In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant
                    of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Landlord shall
                    have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any
                    remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary
                    proceedings and other remedies were not therein provided
                    for; and in such event Landlord shall be entitled to recover
                    from Tenant, payable as additional rent hereunder, any and
                    all reasonable expenses as Landlord may incur in connection
                    with its efforts to secure such injunctive relief or other
                    remedy at law or in equity, such as court costs and
                    attorneys' fees. Landlord and Tenant hereby expressly waive
                    trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim,
                    brought by either of them against the other, on any matter
                    whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this
                    Lease, their relationship as Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's
                    use and occupancy of the Premises and/or any claim of injury
                    or damage. If Landlord shall commence any proceeding for
                    non-payment of rent, or any other payment of any kind to
                    which Landlord may be entitled or which it may claim
                    hereunder, Tenant will not

<PAGE>

                    interpose any counterclaim or set-off of whatever nature or
                    description in any such proceeding, the parties hereto
                    specifically agreeing that Tenant's covenants to pay rent or
                    any other payments required of it hereunder are independent
                    of all other covenants and agreements herein contained,
                    provided, however, that this shall not be constructed as a
                    waiver of Tenant's rights to assert such a claim in any
                    separate action brought by Tenant. Tenant further waives any
                    right of defense which may have to claim a merger, and
                    neither the commencement of any action or proceeding
                    settlement thereof nor entering of judgment shall bar
                    Landlord from bringing subsequent actions or proceedings
                    from time to time. Mention in this Lease of any particular
                    remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy at
                    law or in equity to which it may be entitled. Tenant hereby
                    expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by
                    or under any present or future laws in event of Tenant being
                    evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of
                    Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of
                    the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and
                    conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.

                    (f) It is further provided that, if legal proceedings are
                    instituted hereunder, and a compromise or settlement thereof
                    shall be made, it shall not be constituted as a waiver of
                    any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement herein
                    contained.

                    (g) No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser
                    amount than the Monthly Base Rent herein stipulated shall be
                    deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
                    stipulated rent then due, nor shall any endorsement or
                    statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check
                    or payment of rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and
                    Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice
                    to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or
                    to pursue any other remedy.

                    (h) Should Tenant fail to pay rent (including any additional
                    rent) as and when the same is due, Landlord shall not be
                    required to wait until the expiration of the Term hereof to
                    sue for Landlord's loss or damages, but shall have the right
                    to sue from time to time to recover unpaid rent and other
                    damages as provided in this Lease. Landlord shall have the
                    option to declare the entire balance of the Base Rent
                    (including annual increases as provided herein) immediately
                    due and payable upon failure by Tenant to cure any default
                    within the time prescribed herein. Landlord shall have the
                    further option to defer action until the expiration of the
                    Term, in which event the cause of action shall not be deemed
                    to have accrued until the date of expiration. All rights and
                    remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall be cumulative
                    and shall not be exclusive of any other rights and remedies
                    provided to Landlord under applicable law.

                    (i) If, prior to the commencement of the Term of this Lease,
                    Tenant notifies Landlord of or otherwise unequivocally
                    demonstrates an intention to repudiate this Lease, Landlord
                    may, at its option, consider such anticipatory repudiation a
                    breach of this Lease. In addition to any other remedies
                    available to it hereunder or at law or in equity, Landlord
                    may retain all rent paid upon execution of the Lease and the
                    security deposit, if any, to be applied to damages of
                    Landlord incurred as a result of such repudiation,
                    including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, brokerage
                    fees, costs of reletting and loss of rent. It is agreed
                    between the parties that for the purpose of calculating
                    Landlord's damages, in a building which has other available
                    space at the time of Tenant's breach, Landlord shall have no
                    obligation to rent the Premises prior to other space in the
                    Building.

SUBORDINATION       22. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or
                    underlying leases, if any, and to any deeds of trust which
                    may now or hereafter affect this Lease or the Property, and
                    to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements
                    and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                    Tenant shall have the right to keep the Lease in full force
                    and effect so long as Tenant shall fully comply with all the
                    terms of this Lease. This clause shall be self-operative and
                    no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary to
                    effect the subordination of this Lease to the lien of any
                    such lease, mortgage or deed of trust. In confirmation of
                    such subordination, however, Tenant shall execute promptly
                    any such certificate or subordination agreement that
                    Landlord may request. Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints
                    Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute any such
                    certificate(s) for and on behalf of Tenant, said appointment
                    to be a power coupled with an interest and irrevocable
                    during the Term of this Lease. In the event of any
                    proceeding to terminate any ground or underlying lease, or
                    in the event of any proceeding for the foreclosure of any
                    mortgage or deed of trust to which this Lease is
                    subordinate, the ground lessor, purchaser, assignee or other
                    successor to Landlord's rights, shall have the option to
                    terminate or cancel this Lease; if this Lease is not so
                    terminated or canceled, Tenant shall attorn to the Lessor
                    thereunder or to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale.

                    Upon request and with reasonable notice from Tenant,
                    Landlord shall obtain a non-disturbance agreement on
                    Tenant's behalf from each existing Mortgagee (and any future
                    mortgagees upon request by Tenant) on such Mortgagees's
                    commercially reasonable standard form (and in recordable
                    form) agreeing that such Mortgagee or any purchaser in a
                    foreclosure sale shall recognize and be bound by the terms
                    of this Lease upon a foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof (as
                    long as no Event of Default exists hereunder).

HOLDOVER            23. If Tenant shall remain in the Premises, with the
                    knowledge and

                                       22
<PAGE>

PROVISIONS          written consent of Landlord, after the expiration of the
                    Term of this Lease, or any renewal or extension thereof,
                    Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month at ONE
                    HUNDRED TEN PERCENT (110%) of the monthly rental for the
                    last month of the Lease Term, commencing on the first day
                    next after the Lease Expiration Date. Tenant shall give to
                    Landlord at least THIRTY (30) days written notice of any
                    intention to quit the Premises, and Tenant shall be entitled
                    to THIRTY (30) days written notice to quit except in the
                    event of default hereunder. All other terms and conditions
                    of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
                    Provided, however, that in the event that Tenant shall hold
                    over without Landlord's knowledge and consent, then at any
                    time prior to Landlord's acceptance of rent from Tenant as a
                    monthly tenant hereunder, Landlord, at its option, may
                    re-enter and take possession of the Premises without
                    process, or by any legal proceeds in force in the
                    jurisdiction in which the Building is situated.

SUCCESSORS'         24. It is agreed that all rights, remedies and liabilities
OBLIGATION          hereunder given to or imposed upon either of the parties
                    hereto shall extend to their respective heirs, successors,
                    executors, administrators and assigns. This provision shall
                    not be deemed to grant Tenant any right to assign this Lease
                    or to sublet the Premises, except as set forth in Section 7
                    above. Tenant acknowledges Landlord might not be, now or in
                    the future, the owner of the fee interest in the Premises,
                    the Building and/or Land. The term "LANDLORD" as used in
                    this Lease is hereby defined to be only the then current
                    owner or mortgagee in possession of the Premises. In the
                    event of any sale or sales by the then current Landlord
                    hereunder to any party then, from and after the closing of
                    such sale or lease transaction, the Landlord whose interest
                    is thus sold or leased shall be and hereby is completely
                    released and forever discharged from and of all covenants,
                    obligations and liabilities of Landlord hereunder thereafter
                    accruing.

RULES AND           25. The Tenant covenants that the rules and regulations set
REGULATIONS         forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein
                    by reference, and such other and further rules and
                    regulations as the Landlord may make and furnish to the
                    Tenant, and which in Landlord's judgment are necessary or
                    appropriate for the general well-being, safety, care and
                    cleanliness of the Premises and the Building together with
                    the appurtenances, shall be faithfully kept, observed and
                    performed by Tenant, and by Tenant's agents, servants,
                    employees and guests unless waived in writing by the
                    Landlord. All such rules and regulations shall be enforced
                    in a consistent manner by Landlord against all tenants in
                    the Buildings. Any failure by Landlord to enforce any rule
                    or regulation against any party shall not be deemed a waiver
                    of such rule or regulation or of Landlord's further right to
                    enforce the same.

REPRESEN            26. Landlord's Covenants. Landlord covenants that it has the
                        --------------------
                    right to

<PAGE>

TATIONS,            make this Lease for the Term aforesaid, and that if Tenant
WARRANTIES          shall pay the rent and performs all of the covenants, terms,
AND                 conditions, and agreements of this Lease to be performed by
COVENANTS OF        Tenant, Tenant shall, during the Term, be able to freely,
LANDLORD            peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession
                    of the Premises without molestation or hindrance by Landlord
                    or any party claiming through or under Landlord, subject to
                    other provisions contained in this Lease.

                    (a) Landlord shall maintain during the term of this Lease,
                    all risk coverage for the Building in the amount of the full
                    replacement value thereof together with comprehensive
                    general liability insurance.

                    (b) Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant as follows:
                    To the best of Landlord's knowledge after due inquiry, no
                    governmental regulated hazardous or toxic substances have
                    been used, processed, released, discharged, generated,
                    treated, stored or disposed of on the Premises, the Building
                    or the land upon which the Building is located (the "Land")
                    and no hazardous or toxic substances currently exist on or
                    about the Premises, the Building or the Land and, to the
                    best of Landlord's knowledge, any adjacent property. In the
                    event Landlord becomes aware of any governmental regulated
                    hazardous or toxic substances that have been used,
                    processed, released, discharged, generated, treated, stored
                    or disposed of on the Premises, the Building or the land
                    upon which the Building is located (the "Land"), Landlord
                    shall remove or otherwise contain any such substances within
                    thirty (30) days after Landlord becomes aware of such
                    hazardous or toxic substances.

RESERVATIONS        27. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Landlord retains the
OF RIGHTS OF        following rights: (i) to change the street address and/or
ADDRESS             name of the Building and/or name of the Building and/or the
                    arrangement and/or location entrances, passageways, doors,
                    doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other
                    public parts of the Building and to make improvements,
                    alterations, additions, installations, eliminations and
                    changes to the Building, Land, parking facilities, or any
                    part thereof, provided that such changes do not unreasonably
                    interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises or
                    conduct of its business (except in the event of an
                    emergency); (ii) to erect, use, and maintain pipes and
                    conduits in and through the Premises; (iii) to grant to
                    anyone the exclusive right to conduct any particular
                    business or undertaking in the Building; (iv) to install and
                    maintain signs on the Building and/or Land; and (v) have
                    passkeys to the Premises. Landlord may exercise any or all
                    of the foregoing rights without being deemed to be guilty of

                    any portion of the parking area other than that portion
                    designated for that purpose, then the Landlord shall have
                    the right, at Landlord's option, to assess Tenant a fine or
                    penalty for any such improperly parked vehicle, and/or to
