address form may forward all mail addressed to the facility to the Client's new
address. In addition, all telephone, facsimile numbers and IP addresses are
property of Teqcorner. These numbers will not be transferred to you at the end

main number. For a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the expiration of
this License, Teqcorner will provide the Client's new telephone number and
address to all incoming callers and will hold or forward the Client's mail,
packages, and facsimiles at no cost to Client per the Termination Election Form.
After thirty (30) calendar days Client may request the continuation of this
service at the Client's cost.

Unless Client otherwise notifies Teqcorner in writing, Teqcorner will follow its
standard mail, telephone and voice forwarding policy and charge Client its
published rates for such services on the effective date of termination of the
License. The fees for such services will be deducted from the Service Retainer
(as defined in Section 5(c) hereof).

5. FEES.

     (a) GENERAL. Invoices (the "Monthly Invoices") are issued on or about the
20th day of each calendar month (the "Monthly Invoice Date") and will include
fees for (i) Monthly Base Service Fees for the next calendar month, (ii)
Technology Services periodic and set -up fees for the next calendar month (the "
Technology Periodic Fees"), (iii) Unpaid Technology Services usage fees for all
prior calendar months (the " Technology Usage Fees" and, together with the
Technology Periodic Fees, the " Technology Service Fees"), (iv) parking fees for
the next calendar month (the "Parking Fees") if applicable and (v) any
Additional Services requested by Client or Energy Surcharge (as defined in
Section 5(f)) since the last Monthly Invoice (the "Additional Service Fees" and
together with the Monthly Base Service Fees, Parking Fees and the Technology
Services Fees, the "Fees"). Payment for any and all Fees is due in full on the
5th day of the calendar month following Monthly Invoice Date month. Any Monthly
Base Service Fees, Parking Fees and Technology Service Fees for periods of less
than a calendar month shall be proportionately determined based on a 30-day
month. Teqcorner shall have the right to terminate all Client Technology
Services if Client does not remain current in paying its Fees. All payments will
be made in the United States in U.S. dollars.

     (b) DETERMINATION OF FEES.

          (i) MONTHLY BASE SERVICE FEES. Monthly Base Service Fees are
determined based upon the Base Occupancy for the Client Area set forth in
Section C.1 or 2 of the License.

          (ii) TECHNOLOGY SERVICE FEES. Clients shall pay one-time installation
and set up as well as periodic charges for Technology Services as described in
published Teqcorner rates, as such rates may change from time to time in
Teqcorner's sole discretion. Subject to a minimum usage equal to the Technology
Minimum set forth in section C.5 of the License, Client shall select the level
of Technology Services it uses. All Client Areas are subject to a minimum
Technology Service Fee based upon the Technology Minimum for a Client Area.
Technology Services are subject to standard Teqcorner fees, as published at the
time of usage, for usage up to the Base Occupancy. Any usage in excess of the
Base Occupancy is subject to premium Teqcorner fees, as published at the time of
usage. No Technology Service usage shall be permitted in excess of the
Technology Maximum set forth in Section C.6 of the License without Teqcorner's
prior written consent. Teqcorner shall be the sole and exclusive provider of
telecommunication and data services to Client.

     (c) REFUNDABLE SERVICE RETAINER. The refundable service retainer set forth
in Section C.3 of the License paid by Client in connection with the License (the
"Service Retainer") will be held by Teqcorner as security for Client's
performance of its obligations under the License. The Service Retainer is not a
deposit and shall not accrue interest. Any remaining Service Retainer after
deducting outstanding Fees and any other costs or expenses, including Collection
Costs (as defined in Section 5(f)), owed to Teqcorner, will be paid to Client
within sixty (60) days of the effective date of termination of the License.
Teqcorner may require Client to increase the amount of the Service Retainer in
the event that Client's monthly fees exceed the amount of the Service Retainer
or Client does not pay its Fees in a timely manner. In addition, in the event
that Teqcorner applies any of the Service Retainer pursuant to the License,
Teqcorner retains the right to return only the unused portion of the retainer.
If applied amounts pursuant to the License agreement are more than the retainer,
then the Client is liable for the additional charges.

     (d) PAYMENTS. Client agrees to pay the base and additional service fees and
all applicable sales or use taxes on the payment dates listed on the license
summary. If Client disputes any portion of the charges on Client's bill, Client
agrees to pay the undisputed portion on the designated payment date.


                                       5
<Page>


Client agrees that charges must be disputed within sixty (60) calendar days or
Client waives the right to dispute such charges. Client may be charged a late
fee for any late payments.

     (e) DEFAULT. Client is in default under this License if; 1) Client fails to
abide by rules and regulations of the facility, a copy of which has been
provided; 2) Client does not pay fees on the designated payment date and after
written not of this failure to pay Client does not pay within five (5) business
days; and 3) Client does not comply with the terms of this License. If the
default is unrelated to payment the Client will be given written notice of the
default and the Client will have ten (10) calendar days to correct the default.

     (f) LATE PAYMENT. Past due Monthly Invoices not paid by the 5th calendar
day of the month (the "Late Fee Date") following the Monthly Invoice Date will
be subject to a 5% late fee charge. Any sums not paid by the Late Fee Date shall
automatically accrue interest from the Late Fee Date at rate of eighteen percent
(18%) per annum or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is less. Teqcorner
shall charge Client its standard return check fee for all returned checks.
Returned checks will not be considered timely payments for calculation of late
charge fees. Client shall also be liable for any costs incurred by Teqcorner
("Collection Costs"), including without limitation, attorneys' fees and/or costs
of collection or of ensuing performance. Such fees shall be added to any amounts
due under the License.

     (g) TAXES. All fees charged by Teqcorner for Services are exclusive of all
excise, sales, use, personal property and other similar taxes and fees ("Taxes")

property occasioned by or resulting from (i) Client's default in observing the

be liable to Client or to any other person on account of loss, damage or theft
to any business or personal property of Client, its officers, directors, its
agents, employees, invitees, or persons permitted by Client in the Building.
Teqcorner will not be liable for any loss, damage, injury, and liability or
expense to or of person or property except as may result from Teqcorner' willful
misconduct or grossly negligent acts.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph and in Sections
3(e), 7(b), 7(c), 7(d) and 7(e) of this Agreement, Teqcorner indemnifies and
holds harmless Client, its officers, directors and employees from and against
any direct loss, damage, injury, liability or expense to or of person or
property occasioned by or resulting from (i) any

     (b) NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Teqcorner will not be liable for any claim of
business interruption or for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential,
exemplary or punitive damages arising out of any failure to furnish any service
or facility, any error or omission with respect thereto, or any delay or
interruption of same, even if advised of the possibility of such damages,
whether arising under theory of contract, tort (including negligence), strict
liability or otherwise. Teqcorner's liability under the License will in no event
exceed the amount paid by Client for the services for which the claim arose.

     (c) NO WARRANTIES. ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY TEQCORNER PURSUANT TO THE
AREEMENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, AND CLIENTS USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT
ITS OWN RISK. TEQCORNER DOES NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL OTHER

AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE.
TEQCORNER DOES NOT WARRANTS THAT ANY SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE,
OR COMPLETELY SECURE.

     (d) BASIS OF THE BARGAIN; FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. The parties
acknowledge that Teqcorner has set its prices and entered into the License in
reliance upon the limitations of liability and disclaimers of warranties and
damages set forth herein, and that the same form an essential basis of the
bargain between the parties. The parties hereby agree to the allocation of risk
contained herein. The parties agree that the limitations and exclusions of
liability and disclaimers specified in the License will survive and apply even
if found to have failed of their essential purpose.

     (e) DAMAGES AND INSURANCE. Client is responsible for any damage resulting
from Client's gross negligence or willful misconduct that the Client causes to
the center or area(s) beyond normal wear and tear. Teqcorner has the right to
inspect the condition of the office from time to time and make any necessary
repairs.

The Client is responsible for insuring all its personal property against all
risks. The Client has the risk of loss with respect to any of the Client's
personal property- Client agrees to waive any right of recovery against
Teqcorner, its directors, officers and employees for any damage or loss to
Client's property under the Client's control. All property in the Client's
area(s) is understood to be under Client's control.

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a) SURVIVAL. The provisions of Sections 4(e), 5, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive
termination of the License.

     (b) FORCE MAJEURE. Except for the obligation to make payments, neither
party will be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from
acts beyond the control of such party, including without limitation, acts of
God, riots, acts of war, epidemics, fire, earthquakes or other natural
disasters.

     (c) COMPLETE LICENSE, MODIFICATION; COUNTERPARTS. The License and any other
terms and conditions incorporated by reference herein, contain the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersede any and all related prior understandings and Licenses, oral or
written. The License cannot be modified or amended except in a writing signed by
both parties. The License may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument. Once signed, any reproduction of the License made by
reliable means (e.g., photocopy, facsimile) is considered an original.

     (d) SEVERABILITY, WAIVER. If any provision of the License is declared or
found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, then each provision not so affected
will remain in full force and effect. The waiver by a party of a breach of any
provision of the License shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach by the other party.

     (e) RESTRICTION ON HIRING. Teqcorner employees are an essential part of our
ability to deliver Teqcorner services. The Client acknowledges this and agrees
that, during the term of the Client's license and for one (1) year


                                       7
<Page>

afterward, Client will not hire any of Teqcorner's or any of its affiliates'
employees. If the Client does hire one of Teqcorner's employees, Client agrees
that actual damages would be difficult to determine and therefore Client agrees
to pay liquidation damages in the amount of one-half of the annual base salary
of the employee that the Client hires. Client agrees that this liquidated damage
amount is fair and reasonable.

     (f) GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The License is made under and will
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state within
which the Facility is located without regard to conflicts of laws provisions.

differences, or claims whatsoever related to the License.

     (g) ASSIGNMENT. Client may not assign its rights or delegate its duties
under the License either in whole or in part without the prior written consent
of Teqcorner, in its commercially reasonable discretion, and any attempted
assignment or delegation without such consent will be void.

     (h) NOTICE. All notices are to be in writing and may be given by registered
or certified mail postage prepaid, overnight mail service or hand delivered with
proof of delivery addressed to Teqcorner or Client at the address listed on the
signature page to the License or at such other address as may hereafter be

deemed to have been given as of the date it is delivered, mailed or sent,
whichever is earlier.

     (i) CONFIDENTIALITY, USE OF CLIENT MARKS. Each party hereto will hold the
terms of the License in confidence. This confidentiality obligation survives
termination of the License. Teqcorner reasonably uses the name of Client,
Client's service marks, trademarks, trade names and logo ("Client Marks") and a
description of the Services performed for Client in its website, advertising and
