                                -----------------

The duration of this contract shall be for five (5) years, beginning on July 16,

except upon the occurrence of the events listed in clause Fourteenth of this

The LEASOR hereby grants an option to the LESSEE to extend the Initial Term of
this contract for an additional term of five years ("Second Term"). In order to

least 180 days prior to the termination of the Initial Term; otherwise, the
LEASOR shall not be obligated to reserve the PROPERTY for the LESSEE and the
LEASOR may take any action required in order to promote and advertise the
PROPERTY for a future lessee.

In case that the LESSEE executes the option to extend the Initial Term, the
LESSEE agrees and accepts that the rent established by the Initial Term shall be

<PAGE>

         C) Telephone (all available lines)
         D) Gas supply
         E) Cleaning services

The LEASOR will provide all the services mentioned above for the PROPERTY as
well as:

         A)    Enough bathrooms for men and women in both the production floor

         B)    Appropriate sewage drainage.

         C)    Floor sealing for the production area of the new building

         D)    Enough parking space to accommodate at least twenty cars.

The LEASOR will install 5 (five) new air conditioning units with a capacity of
85 tons in total, in addition to those already existing in the building. The
normal repair and maintenance costs of this equipment will be the responsibility
of the LESSEE.

If due to an increase in personnel or in equipment, the LESSEE needs to increase
the air conditioning capacity/tonnage, such increase will be paid and installed
by the LESSEE, without it affecting the price of the rent.

Furthermore, the LEASOR agrees to provide the LESSEE copies and/or the original,
of the guarantees issued by the makers of the above-mentioned equipment. The
LESSEE shall have the right to demand or enforce directly all of the rights and
benefits of the LEASOR as it regards said guarantees.

Similarly, the LEASOR agrees to maintain, in good functioning order, the rain
drainage system for the PROPERTY's parking lot, and for its dock, as to avoid
flooding problems.

                                 SEVENTH - TAXES
                                 ---------------

All taxes, duties, and contributions that may arise from the PROPERTY will be
paid by the LEASOR.

The LEASOR will furnish the LESSEE--within two weeks from the date on which
payment is presented to the corresponding authority--with copies of all fiscal
payments related to the PROPERTY, as well as any other information that the
LESSEE might reasonably require in order to verify that such payments were made.

                                 EIGHT - REPAIRS
                                 ---------------

The LEASOR agrees to maintain, repair, and preserve the PROPERTY in good
condition, so that it may be used and enjoyed by the LESSEE in the same
condition as it was at the time of delivery to, and acceptance of the PROPERTY
by, the LESSEE and according to the provisions of this contract. The repairs
referred to in this paragraph will be begun by the LEASOR within ten days
following the date on which the LESSEE provides notice of their need, in case
that the


                                      -6-
<PAGE>


repairs are not made within this period, the LESSEE may deduct the cost of the
repairs from the rent without any obligation by the LESSEE to actually carry out
the repairs.

Similarly, the LESSEE agrees to maintain, repair, and preserve in good working
condition the air conditioning units, as well as the floor of the PROPERTY,
except as it regards their normal deterioration from daily use.

The LESSEE is only responsible to carry out those repairs resulting from damages
caused by the Company, or by its personnel or visitors.

If, as a consequence of the repairs which the LEASOR is obligated to perform,
the LESSEE loses the total use of the PROPERTY, the LESSEE may then ask for
rescission of this contract.

                  NINTH - DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY
                  ---------------------------------------------

If the property is destroyed and, consequently, it could no longer be leased
out--due to storm, fire, lighting, earthquake, or other disaster or
catastrophe--the LEASOR will immediately, within a period of 4 (FOUR) months,
rebuild the PROPERTY to the same condition it was in prior to its destruction,
and the LEASOR will do everything possible to find an temporary locale to house
the LESSEE's operations. During the period of reconstruction, there will be no
rent due nor paid, and the terms of payment established in this contract will be
extended, along with all corresponding provisions and conditions, for a period
of time equal in duration to that required to carry out the reconstruction of
the PROPERTY.

If this impediment to the use of the PROPERTY can be attributed to the
negligence of the LESSEE--or its agents, employees, or visitors--the LESSEE will
continue to pay rent as if it was using the industrial installation, unless this
loss is covered by rental insurance or other insurance.

In case of a partial impediment to the use of the industrial unit, due to a
cause not attributable to the LESSEE, the parties will agree to the proportion
in which rent is to be reduced, and if no agreement is reached, each party will
designate an expert to make a decision, and if both experts fail to reach an
agreement, the experts will designate a third expert. The decision of a majority
of the experts will be final and binding upon the parties, or if the parties
agree on designating a single expert, his/her decision will be final and binding
upon the parties.

Repairs must be carried out as soon as possible, but within a period not to
exceed 45 (FORTY-FIVE) days, and once the repairs are made, rent will again be
paid in full.

Similarly, it is agreed that in the event that it becomes impossible for the
LESSEE to continue its activities at the PROPERTY--due to any damage caused by
the disasters listed above--the LESSEE may terminate this agreement in advance
along with all corresponding obligations under the contract. If notwithstanding
the above, the LESSEE decides not to terminate the contract, the obligation to
pay rent will be suspended until the PROPERTY is repaired or rebuilt, so that
the LESSEE may be able to continue its activities. No part of the above will
affect the insurance policies referred to in clause Twelfth of this contract.

                                 TENTH - SIGNAGE
                                 ---------------

The LEASOR agrees to allow the LESSEE to place any signs, emblems,
distinguishing marks, etc., that identify the company, as long as said signs,
emblems, and distinguishing marks comply with the provisions of any applicable
laws and regulations.

It is agreed that no signs may be placed on the roof of the PROPERTY which may
damage its structure.

                            ELEVENTH - INSTALLATIONS
                            ------------------------

The LESSEE has the right to make any necessary installations and to place any
equipment and machinery that it believes necessary for the proper carrying out
of its activities, as long as said installations do not damage the structure of
the PROPERTY.

Upon the expiration of this lease contract, the LESSEE will have the right to
remove from the PROPERTY those installations, equipment, and machinery either
made or used during the life of this contract, agreeing to return the PROPERTY

coverage adequate to protect their respective interests under this contract

          under the so called "Broad Coverage" (including insurance against
          glass rupture) covering such amounts as to prevent the LEASOR or
          LESSEE from becoming co-insureds under the terms of the applicable
          policies, but at not point to be for a total coverage of less than
          one-hundred percent or of the "Total Insured Amount" (Replacement

          the industrial unit. Said "Total Insured Amount" will be mutually
          established from time to time, but only once for every twelve-month
          period. Any deductibles established by the insurance company as it
          regards these costs will be the sole responsibility of the LEASOR.

2.   The LESSEE will obtain and maintain insurance coverage, and will pay the

     contract and over any broadening, extension, or renovation of said contract

          currency of the United States of America), for patrimonial damages of

          of the United States of America.

     (B)  Insurance to cover losses or damage due to the malfunctioning of
          boilers (or compressors) or due to the internal explosion of boilers
          (or compressors) for high pressure boilers (or compressors) installed
          in the building and in the amount that the LEASOR from time to time
          may reasonably require.

3.   Any and all insurance policies required by this clause will be covered by
     valid and executable policies, issued by well-known insurance companies of
     good reputation and authorized to operate in Mexico.

4.   Any and all insurance policies required by this contract will name the
     LESSEE and the LEASOR as the insured parties, as it corresponds to their

     of the industrial unit, the LESSEE will immediately provide written notice
     of this occurrence to the LEASOR. The LEASOR will then begin adjustment

The LEASOR guarantees that it has the sole and unrestricted title to the
PROPERTY and that the LESSEE will have the quiet enjoyment and use of it.
Similarly, the LEASOR agrees to defend and protect the LESSEE from any
obligation--including fines and/or interest that may be demanded from the

indirectly may result in said obligation, fine, and/or interest.

Similarly, the LESSEE and LEASOR agree that, under the provisions of the Code of
the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, this contract will survive any transfer of the
PROPERTY, or the imposition of any lien or mortgage by the LEASOR over said
property, and that any failure to make payment on said liens or mortgages will
not affect in any way the terms of this contract or its extensions, and that any
modification to said mortgages or any new mortgage on the PROPERTY will contain
a provision recognizing the existence and duration of this contract and the
right to extend said contract, if the right to an extension is agreed to by the
parties at the time of the LEASOR's entry into the mortgage.

The LESSEE agrees to, upon request by the LEASOR, subordinate this contract
(including any extension to the same) to any mortgage that is made on the
PROPERTY, as long as the mortgagee agrees to recognize the rights of the LESSEE
under this contract. Similarly, the mortgagee agrees not to disturb the
possession and other rights of the LESSEE as stated in the terms of this
contract and as long as the LESSEE continues to meet its obligations under this
contract. In the event that the mortgagee acquires title to the PROPERTY through
foreclosure, or by any other means, the mortgagee agrees to accept the LESSEE as
such and under the provisions of this document. The LESSEE and LEASOR agree to

                FOURTEENTH - REASONS FOR RESCISSION DUE TO BREACH
                -------------------------------------------------

The following are reasons to rescind this contract:

    ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE LESSEE:

    (A)  Failure to make timely payment of the rent for more than two months,
         except when due to those reasons for interruption mentioned in this
         contract.

If an advance cancellation of this contract is due to reasons attributable to
the LESSEE, the LESSEE will pay to the LEASOR rent corresponding to any
remaining months (from the contract's cancellation to its termination). It is
agreed that the above will not apply in case of advance cancellation when the
LEASOR has another lessee ready to occupy the property with the same or better
economic and financial solvency, and in such case there will be no penalty to
the LESSEE for said advance termination.

    (B) Use the property for a different use than that agreed to, or for an use
        which is against the law.


                                      -10-

    (C) In general, the noncompliance with any of the obligations derived from
        this contract.

    ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE LEASOR:

    (A)  Failure to perform repairs to the PROPERTY or those repairs which it is
         obligated to perform as per clause 8 of this contract.

    (B)  In general, the noncompliance with any of the obligations derived from
         this contract.

Prior to the termination, the non-complying party will receive written notice
specifying the nature of the noncompliance, and will have 30 days from the day
of receipt of this notice to correct the noncompliance; if such correction is
not made within said term of thirty days, this term may be extended in a
reasonable manner depending on the circumstances, and as long as the necessary
corrections are pursued.

If at any point during the life of this contract, or during an extension of the
same, the LESSEE or the LEASOR fail to meet one or more of their obligations as
stated in the terms of this contract, the LEASOR or LESSEE, after having
provided written notice to the other party (or without notice in case of
emergency) and without releasing the LEASOR or the LESSEE from any of the
obligations of this contract, will be able to [terminate the contract], but
without having to carry out the acts which the other party is obligated to
perform under this contract, and will also be able to enter the PROPERTY to
carry out any necessary acts as demanded by the particular situation.

Any amount paid by LEASOR or by the LESSEE, as it might be the case, regarding
the carrying out of said obligations, will be paid by the other party.

                            FIFTEENTH - ENVIRONMENTAL
                            -------------------------

The LEASOR declares and guarantees that the PROPERTY is free from any spill or
accident of an environmental or dangerous sort as described under the provisions
of the General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection, its
regulations and other legal ordinances of the United States of Mexico regarding
the environment. The LEASOR agrees to indemnify, defend, and protect the LESSEE
from any obligations that may have been present prior to the date of delivery of
the PROPERTY and resulting from any act, omission, or negligence by the LEASOR
that might have directly or indirectly led to such a penalty, including all
costs and expenses incurred in the cleaning of the PROPERTY in order to meet any
requirements established by the appropriate environmental authorities, as well
as any other dispositions relevant to this subject matter.

The LESSEE is authorized to assign or sublease this contract to natural or legal
