         Deposit") required by Landlord and due upon the Commencement Date shall
         be retained as security (interest free) for the faithful performance by
         Tenant of all terms, covenants and conditions herein. Landlord is given
         permission to commingle said deposit and may, at any time after written
         notice to Tenant, apply said deposit, or any part thereof, against any
         default by Tenant of any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of
         this Lease that has not been corrected within the applicable cure
         period. In such event, Tenant shall, upon written demand, deposit with
         Landlord the amount so applied so that Landlord shall have the full

         by Tenant's use of the Property. In the event the Security Deposit is
         not sufficient to pay all charges due, Tenant shall pay said charges
         within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from the
         Landlord and a detailed accounting of the actual charges and Landlord's
         basis for asserting these charges against Tenant. Tenant shall be
         allowed to post an Irrevocable Letter of Credit in lieu of the Security
         Deposit, the terms and conditions of which are to be acceptable by
         Landlord in Landlord's reasonable discretion.

         other related purposes. Pets, animals, or birds may not be kept on the
         Property without the Landlord's permission. The Property may not be
         used as a residence, apartment, sleeping quarter or other type of
         dwelling used for human habitation. The Property may not be used for
         games of chance or any form of gambling, immoral conduct or any other
         illegal activity. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may use that
         portion of the Building that is not leased by Tenant, for any use
         whatsoever, so long as such use does not interfere with Tenant's use as
         contemplated herein. Landlord represents that the Property is properly
         zoned for the permitted use set forth herein and such permitted use is
         an allowed "as of right" usage without condition or restriction.

19.      Examination of Property; No Warranties. Tenant has examined the
         Property and is familiar with its present condition. Tenant, relying
         solely on said examination, agrees to accept the Property in its
         present condition "AS IS," except as otherwise set forth specifically
         herein.

20.      Insurance.

         (a)      Tenant shall not carry any stock of goods or do anything in or
                  about the Property which would, in any way, restrict or
                  invalidate any insurance coverage of the Property.

         (b)      Tenant agrees to pay, upon presentation of a copy of
                  Landlord's paid invoice, as Additional Rent, Tenant's
                  Proportionate Share, as defined herein, of any and all
                  premiums of insurance required hereunder and carried by
                  Landlord on the Property resulting from Tenant's use or
                  occupancy. "Tenant's Proportionate Share" shall be calculated
                  by dividing the rental square footage under this Lease by the
                  total square footage of the Building (assuming that such
                  insurance coverage charges can be ascertained as to the
                  Building as a whole). Tenant shall keep in full force and
                  effect, at Tenant's expense, insurance for Tenant's personal
                  property, Tenant's trade fixtures, Tenant's equipment,
                  business interruption and property damage. Tenant shall also
                  carry a public liability policy with a minimum coverage of
                  $1,000,000.00. Said policies shall bear endorsements to the
                  effect that the insurer agrees to notify the Landlord not less
                  than thirty (30) days in advance of any cancellation thereof.
                  Should Tenant fail to maintain such public liability insurance
                  or in the event that a notice of cancellation has been
                  provided and Tenant fails to provide notice of replacement
                  coverage to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after such
                  notice, after fifteen (15) days written notice of such
                  deficiency, Landlord may, at its option (but shall not be
                  required to do so) cause public liability insurance as
                  aforementioned to be issued, and, in such event, Tenant agrees
                  to pay the premium for said insurance as Additional Rent.

         (c)      During the Initial Term and the Renewal Terms of this Lease,
                  Landlord shall obtain and maintain a general liability
                  insurance policy with a combined property damage, bodily
                  injury and death liability limit of at least $1,000,000.00.
                  Landlord shall obtain and maintain separate broad form
                  property coverage insuring the Building and all common areas
                  against fire, casualty and malicious mischief, no matter the
                  cause thereof, for the full replacement value thereof.

21.      Maintenance and Repair.

         (a)      Landlord shall repair and maintain the Building and Common
                  Areas, including but not limited to, the foundation, roof,
                  outer walls, structural members and all building operating
                  systems of the Property, and any other items described in the
                  Master Lease that are not to be maintained or repaired by
                  Tenant as provided herein to the standard of similar
                  commercial office space. The building operating systems shall
                  include the servicing, repair, maintenance, replacement of
                  plumbing, electrical, ventilation, heating and air
                  conditioning systems, including all pipes, wiring, fixtures,
                  filters, equipment, machinery, boilers, compressors and
                  appliances. If Landlord fails to perform its repair and
                  maintenance obligations and such failure interferes with
                  Tenant's normal commercial use or access to the Property,
                  Tenant shall be entitled to perform such obligations and, if
                  all such costs that are reasonably incurred by Tenant to
                  perform such obligations are not reimbursed by Landlord within
                  thirty (30) days after presentation of an invoice to Landlord,
                  Tenant may then offset against the next monthly installment(s)
                  of Rent becoming due the costs of such performance until such
                  time as Tenant is fully reimbursed for the costs actually
                  incurred.

         (b)      Tenant shall use all reasonable efforts to provide Landlord
                  notice of any damage or maintenance needs of which it becomes
                  aware. If any damage is caused by Tenant's neglect, Tenant
                  shall be responsible for the costs to repair such damage.
                  Tenant shall also repair and be responsible for damage caused
                  by stoppage, breakage, leakage, overflow, discharge or
                  freezing of plumbing pipes, soil lines or fixtures located
                  within the Property due to Tenant's negligence or willful
                  misconduct. If any part of the Property is damaged by Tenant,
                  or Tenant's employees, agents or invitees, Tenant shall
                  provide Landlord with immediate written notification of such
                  damage to the Property. After notification and approval by
                  Landlord, repairs of such damage shall be made promptly at
                  Tenant's expense so as to restore the Property to its previous
                  condition. If Tenant refuses or neglects to commence the
                  necessary repairs within fifteen (15) days after the written
                  demand by Landlord, Landlord may make such repairs without
                  liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to
                  Tenant's stock, business or fixtures by reason thereof except
                  for any negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
                  employees, agents or contractors, and if Landlord makes such
                  repairs, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon presentation of a
                  copy of Landlord's paid invoice, as Additional Rent, the
                  actual cost thereof. Tenant's failure to pay shall constitute
                  a default under this Lease. Repairs that are Landlord's
                  responsibility shall be made within a reasonable time after
                  written notice to Tenant and shall comply with the provisions
                  of the Master Lease.

22.      Regulations and Sanitation. Landlord represents and warrants that as of
         the Commencement Date, the Property is in compliance with all
         applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of any
         legally constituted public authority, including all environmental laws,
         rules and regulations ("All Applicable Laws"). Tenant shall keep the
         Property clean, safe, sanitary, and free from environmental hazards and

         any such laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements, or any aspect
         thereof beyond any applicable notice and cure period set forth herein,

         removing any trash or refuse deposited upon the Property or any
         adjacent public area by Tenant, Tenant's customers or anyone else. In

                  compliance by all other parties for whom it is responsible
                  with, all applicable environmental laws.

         (c)      Each Party hereby agrees to indemnify the other party and hold
                  the other party harmless from and against any and all liens,

         install or maintain any equipment, partitions, furniture, or other
         items in which the weight or the operation of which would tend to
         injure or be detrimental to the Property.

         Landlord, in each case, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or otherwise
         encumber or dispose of this Lease, or sublet the Property, or any part
         thereof, or permit the Property to be occupied by other persons. Such
         consent may be withheld for any reason. If this Lease is assigned, or
         if the Property, or any part thereof, be subject or occupied by any
         other person, firm, office or corporation, with or without written
         permission of Landlord, it will not relieve Tenant of any obligations
         under the terms of this Lease and if sublet, assigned or occupied
         without the Landlord's permission, this Lease may, at the option of the
         Landlord, be terminated by a seven (7) day written notice.

         right, without Landlord's consent, at any time during the Initial Term
         or Renewal Terms of this Lease, to assign or otherwise transfer this
         Lease and its rights hereunder to (i) any entity controlling,
         controlled by, or under common control with Tenant, or (ii) any entity
         into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated or (iii) any
         entity which shall be a successor of Tenant or to any entity which has
         acquired or is acquiring ownership or control of the business and
         assets of Tenant at the Property. Notwithstanding the prohibition set
         forth above, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord's consent,
         at any time during the Initial Term or Renewal Terms of this Lease, to
         sublet a portion of the Property to any entity controlling, controlled
         by, or under common control with Tenant. Unless expressly agreed to by
         Landlord, any assignment or sublet by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph
         shall not release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease.

26.      Signs or Awnings. Tenant shall place no signs, notices, pictures or
         advertising matter upon the exterior of the Property, except with the
         written permission of the Landlord. Tenant will be allowed to place
         interior signage in a manner to be approved by Landlord in the Lobby,
         the elevator and on Tenant's door(s), such approval not to be
         unreasonably withheld. Any and all signs placed on the Property by
         Tenant shall be maintained in compliance with rules and regulations
         governing such signs. Tenant shall be responsible to Landlord for any
         damages caused by installation, use, maintenance, or removal of said
         signs (but not responsible for repainting any areas other than those
         directly behind where the signs were affixed). Any electrical service
         needed for signs shall be installed at the Tenant's expense.

27.      Obligations under Master Lease. Landlord shall fulfill all of its
         obligations and duties under the Master Lease, except for those

         and agrees to enforce its rights against Master Landlord under the
         Master Lease in order to protect the interest of Tenant under this
         Lease. In the event Landlord receives a notice of default from the
         Master Landlord, Landlord shall immediately notify in writing Tenant of
         such default and take all necessary steps to cure such default.

28.      Waiver of Rights. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to exercise any
         power given hereunder, or to insist upon the other party's strict
         compliance with its obligations hereunder, and no custom or practice of
         the parties at variance with the terms hereof will constitute a waiver
         of either party's rights to demand exact compliance with the terms of
         this Lease at a future time the rights and remedies created by this
         Lease are cumulative and the use of one remedy shall not be taken to
         exclude the right to use another.

29.      Rules and Regulations. Rules and Regulations are attached hereto as
         Exhibit D and made a part hereof, but to the extent that there is any
         conflict between the Rules and Regulations and this Lease, the terms
         and conditions of this Lease shall control. Landlord reserves the
         right, at any time, to make further reasonable rules and regulations as
         in Landlord's reasonable judgment may be necessary for the safety,
         care, appearance and cleanliness of the Property and the preservation
         of the good order therein, and upon promulgation of such rules to all
         tenants such other rules and regulations shall be binding upon the
         parties hereto with the same force and effect as if they had been
         contained herein at the time of execution hereof.

30.      Right of Entry. Landlord, without being liable for trespass or damages,
         shall have the right immediately in the case of an emergency or upon at
         least twenty-four (24) hours' advance notice, unless otherwise agreed
         in advance, and during business hours to enter the Property to examine
         the same, or to make repairs, additions or alteration as Landlord may
         deem necessary or the safety, comfort, appearance or preservation
         thereof, or during the last sixty (60) days of the then current term if
         no renewal notice has been given to exhibit the Property. Landlord
         shall also be allowed to post "For Rent" notice during sixty (60) days
         before the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Terms of this
         Lease if no renewal notice has been given. Said right to entry shall
         likewise exist for the purpose of removing place cards, signs,
         fixtures, alterations or additions which do not conform to the
         provisions set forth in this Lease subject to all applicable notice and
         cure periods. In accordance with this right, Tenant shall give Landlord
         a photo pass to any and all locks, security systems and burglar alarms.
         Tenant shall not change or install new locks or security systems
         without the approval of Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably
         withheld, conditioned or delayed.

31.      Liens. Tenant shall not create any liens for labor or material against
         the Property. All persons contracting with the Tenant for the election,
         installation, alteration, repair or demolition of any building or other
         improvements on the Property, and all materials, flyers, contractors,
         mechanics, and laborers are hereby charged with notice that they must
         look to the Tenant and to the Tenant's interest only in the Property to
         secure payment of any bill for work or material furnished during the
         rental period created by this Lease. In the event that liens are placed
         on record against the Property by contractors, mechanics, laborers,
         material suppliers, etc., because of action by Tenant, it will
         constitute a default of this Lease unless such liens are discharged
         within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives notice of such lien.

         Tenant's use of the Property, as mutually agreed by the parties or if

         upon normal commercial practices, be condemned by any legally
         constituted authority, this Lease shall terminate on the date when
         possession thereof is taken by public authorities, and Rent Additional
         Rent shall be accounted for as between Landlord and Tenant as of such
         termination date and Tenant shall absolutely have no rights to any
         condemnation proceeds except those that are related to its leasehold
         interest in the Property. In the event only a portion of the Property
         is acquired by condemnation as will leave the remaining Property, after
         alteration and repair, in condition suitable for use by Tenant, as
         mutually agreed by the parties or if agreement cannot be reached based
         upon normal commercial practices, the Rent and Additional Rent, where
         applicable, from the day of such acquisition to the end of the original

         or hazardous chemicals or substances on the Property due to Tenant's or
         its employees', agents' or contractors' actions. Except to the extent
         of any negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees,

         to Tenant or those claiming by, through or under Tenant for any loss or

         occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying
         adjacent, connecting or adjoining Premises; and (iv) Landlord shall not
         be responsible or liable for any defect, latent or otherwise, in any
         building constituting the Property or any of the equipment, machinery,

         defect or negligence in the occupancy, building, machinery, apparatus
         or equipment by any person or by or from the acts or negligence or any

         of the Property, for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial
         process) requiring the payment of money of Landlord, and, provided that
         Landlord has not engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct, no other
         assets of the Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution, or other
         procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies. In the event
         Landlord transfers this Lease, upon notice of such transfer and
         acceptance of such transfer by a transferee of similar means and
         experience, Landlord will be released from any and all future
         liabilities and obligations hereunder. The indemnities provided in this
         Lease shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease or any
         renewals for one (1) year, provided, however, that after such one (1)
         year period neither party shall not be entitled to file any action,
         suit or other claim or recover any damages or any other remedy at law
         or in equity arising out of or related to the foregoing indemnities.

         following the notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
         the Landlord a written statement certifying that this Lease is in full
         force and effect. This statement should also state whether or not
         Tenant is in default in performance of any covenant and shall
         constitute an acknowledgment by Tenant that this Lease, except as
         stated in such notice, is unmodified and in full force and effect.

42.      Peaceful Possession. Subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of
         this Lease, Tenant shall have, hold and enjoy possession of the

         Property by the Landlord who agree that Tenant, absent a default beyond
         any applicable cure period, shall not be disturbed in its possession of
         the Property. Tenant's rights are also subject to any underlying lease
         now or later covering the entire property of which the Property is a
         part. Tenant shall execute any necessary subordination agreement at
         Landlord's request, provided that such agreement contains
         non-disturbance provisions, in form acceptable to such lender and
         Tenant.

43.      Default.

         (a)      If Tenant fails to pay Rent, including Additional Rent on or
                  before the due dates as herein stated (TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE)
                  and if Tenant fails to cure such default within ten (10) days
                  after notice from Landlord; or if Tenant shall be in default
                  in performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of
                  this Lease other than the provision requiring the payment of
                  Rent, and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days
                  or such other time as is reasonably required for Tenant to
                  cure such default so long as Tenant has commenced and
                  diligently prosecutes the curing of such default within such
                  thirty day period and in no event longer than sixty (60) days
                  after the receipt of notice of default from Landlord; or this
                  Lease is assigned to any other persons, firm, office or
                  corporation, without the permission of Landlord except as
                  provided herein, this Lease shall be in default. Upon such
                  default, at Landlord's option, this Lease shall expire and
                  terminate fifteen (15) days after Landlord delivers written
                  notice to Tenant of such condition or default and Tenant shall
                  immediately quit and surrender said Property to Landlord. In
                  the event of any such default or breach of performance,
                  Landlord without any further notice or demand of any kind to
                  Tenant, may

                  terminate this Lease and re-enter and forthwith repossess the
                  entire Property and without being liable for trespass or
                  damage shall re-let, lease, or demise the Property to another
                  Tenant without any hindrance or prejudice to Landlords right
                  to distraint for any past due Rent, Additional Rent, and Rent
                  from the time of such default or termination until the
                  Property was leased or rented to another Tenant.

         (b)      If Landlord or Master Landlord shall fail to perform each and
                  all of its obligations under the Master Lease (except for
                  those obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder) and
                  such failure is not cured within the applicable notice and

                  any such failure and recover reimbursement for its costs
                  thereof (i) from Landlord or if Landlord does not pay such
                  invoice within thirty (30) days after presentation (ii) then
                  by offset against the next monthly installment(s) of Rent to
                  be paid by Tenant hereunder. Additionally, if Landlord shall
                  default in the performance of any of the covenants,
                  obligations or conditions that are the responsibility of
                  Landlord in the Master Lease, Landlord shall immediately
                  provide written notice to Tenant of such default. If Master
                  Landlord seeks to exercise its right to terminate the Master
                  Lease, Tenant may elect, in its sole discretion, to either (a)
                  terminate this Lease or (b) continue to occupy the Property,
                  on a month-to-month basis in accordance with this Lease paying
                  Rent directly to Master Landlord during a transition period of
                  up to nine (9) months, such tenancy terminable by Tenant upon

         at the request of Landlord, from time to time execute a subordination,

         construed as in any manner or as amplifying the terms and provisions of
         this Lease to which they relate.

53.      Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease shall to any

         any term or provision of this Lease on the part of such other party.
         Waiver by any party of a breach of any term or provision shall not be
