Tenant acknowledges and agrees that easement contained in Book 3648 at Page 436

Section 3.02 Commencement of Term.

         The Term shall commence on December 15, 2000 or simultaneously with the
date Landlord acquires title to all of the Leased Property (the "Commencement
Date"). The entry or presence of Tenant on the Land prior to the Commencement
Date, for the purpose of conducting its business shall not constitute
commencement of the Term. Irrespective of such entry or presence, the Term and
the payment of "Base Rent" and "LIBOR Rent" (as those terms are defined
hereinafter) shall not begin until the Commencement Date.

                                ARTICLE 4. RENT

Section 4.01 Base Rent.

         The annual base rent (the "Base Rent") for the initial twelve (12)
month period of the Term shall be $3,964,148.00. Beginning with the first (1st)
anniversary of the Commencement Date, and continuing with each subsequent
anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Base Rent paid by


                                       2
<PAGE>

Tenant shall be increased by 2.5%. The new Base Rent shall be calculated by
multiplying the Base Rent in effect during the immediately preceding twelve (12)
month period of the Terms by 102.5%.

Section 4.02 LIBOR Rent.

         In addition to the Base Rent payable by Tenant, Tenant shall pay an
additional annual rent during the Term, which additional rent shall be based
upon changes in LIBOR (as defined hereinafter) (the "LIBOR Rent") and shall be
calculated as provided in this Section 4.02. The LIBOR Rent on the Commencement
Date shall be zero. Thereafter, and for the duration of the Term, for each basis
point change in LIBOR from 6.770%, the LIBOR Rent shall increase or decrease in
the direction corresponding to the LIBOR change, by the amount of $2,710.00 per
annum. Changes only will occur in increments of a full basis point (i.e., there
will be no proration for changes of less than a full basis point).

         "LIBOR" as used herein, shall mean the London Interbank Offered Rate as
quoted in the Wall Street Journal and other readily available financial sources,
for any of the normal time periods (30, 60, 90, or 180 days) for which such
rates are made available to qualified borrowers and which shall be mutually
agreed to by Landlord and Tenant.

Section 4.03 Payment of Rent.

         Tenant shall pay the Base Rent in quarterly installments, in advance,
and without demand on the first (1st) day of each and every quarter during the
Term.

Section 4.04 Payment of LIBOR Rent.

         Tenant shall pay the LIBOR Rent in quarterly installments in advance
without demand on the first (1st) day of each and every quarter during the Term.
Each installment of the LIBOR Rent shall be adjusted retroactively at the
expiration of each quarter to reflect changes in LIBOR, as determined pursuant
to Section 4.02 hereof, during such quarter. Upon such adjustment, Landlord


                                       3
<PAGE>

shall refund to Tenant or Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as appropriate, within
ten (10) days of demand therefor, such sums as are necessary for Tenant to have
paid the installment of the LIBOR Rent, as adjusted, which was owed by it for
the preceding quarter.

Section 4.05 Late payment of Rent.

         In the event any quarterly installment of Base Rent or LIBOR Rent is
not received on the due date, such amount shall accrue interest at the rate of
fifteen percent (15%) per annum (or the maximum interest rate allowed by law if
less than 15%) and such interest shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord
for the period of time said payment is delinquent as additional rent hereunder;
provided that a default shall occur only as specified in Section 14.01 herein.
The imposition of this charge shall not be deemed a waiver or be in lieu of
Landlord's other rights hereunder.

               ARTICLE 5. BUILDING OPERATIONAL EXPENSES AND TAXES

Section 5.01 Operational Expenses.

         Tenant shall be responsible for all expenses and charges which, during

required date of payment, furnish to Landlord copies of paid receipts for all
such taxes, assessments and charges. Said taxes and assessments shall be
prorated for any partial calendar year or tax period during the Term.

Section 5.03 Review of Taxes.

         Tenant shall have the right to challenge, by legal proceedings
instituted and conducted at Tenant's own expense, and free of expense to
Landlord, any such taxes imposed upon or against the Land. Landlord shall join
in any such proceedings and hereby agrees that any such proceeding may be
brought in its name if the provisions of any law, rule or regulation shall so
require. Tenant shall nevertheless pay and continue to pay, as the same becomes
due and payable, such impositions under protest, and Tenant shall be entitled to
any refund which is made of any such amounts. Landlord shall not, without
Tenant's prior written approval, make or agree to any settlement, compromise or
other disposition of any such proceedings, or discontinue or withdraw from any
such proceedings or accept any refund so long as Tenant shall comply with the
terms of this Lease, including specifically the requirement to pay rent.

                                 ARTICLE 6. USE

Section 6.01 Use.

Section 8.04 Damage to Improvements - Repairs or Election to Terminate.

         (a) Repairable Casualty. In the event the Leased Property shall be
damaged by fire, earthquake, other elements or other casualty during the Term
and Tenant does not elect to terminate

                                       7
<PAGE>

this Lease pursuant to Section 8.04(b) below, Tenant shall give prompt notice of
such casualty to Landlord, and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to carry
out any necessary demolition and to restore, repair, replace and rebuild such
building and improvements at Tenant's own cost and expense. If any insurance
proceeds shall have been paid by reason of such damage or destruction, Tenant
shall be entitled to such proceeds in order to complete such repairs. If at any
time Tenant shall fail or neglect to supply sufficient workmen or sufficient
materials of proper quality, or fail in any other respect to prosecute such work
of demolition, restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding with diligence and
promptness, then Landlord may give to Tenant written notice of such failure or
neglect, and if such failure or neglect continues for more than sixty (60) days
after such notice, then Landlord, in addition to all other rights which Landlord
may have, may enter upon the Leased Property, provide labor and/or materials,
cause the performance of any contract and/or do such other acts and things as
Landlord may deem advisable to prosecute such work, in which event Landlord
shall be entitled to reimbursement of its costs and expenses out of any
insurance proceeds for application to the cost of such work. All costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in carrying out such work for which Landlord is
not reimbursed out of insurance proceeds or other moneys shall be borne by
Tenant and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent within ten
(10) days of demand therefor, which demand may be made by Landlord from time to
time as such costs and expenses are incurred, in addition to any or all damages
to which Landlord shall be entitled hereunder.

         Rent shall not abate hereunder by reason of any damage to or of the
Leased Property and Tenant shall continue to perform and fulfill all of Tenant's
obligations, covenants and agreements hereunder notwithstanding any such damage
or destruction.


                                       8
<PAGE>

         (b) Substantial Casualty. In the event the Leased Property shall be
damaged by fire, earthquake, other elements or other casualty during the Term
and the Board of Directors of Tenant shall reasonably determine in good faith
that the Leased Property has been rendered unsuitable for continued use in
Tenant's business and may not be restored on an economically feasible basis (a
"Substantial Casualty"), Tenant shall give notice to Landlord (the "Notice")
within six (6) months following such Substantial Casualty of its election to
either (A) purchase the Leased Property from Landlord pursuant to Section
8.04(b)(i) or (B) convey to Landlord a Substitute Property (as defined below)
pursuant to Section 8.04(b)(ii).

                  (i) Purchase of the Leased Property. If Tenant elects to
         purchase the Leased Property from Landlord following a Substantial
         Casualty, Tenant shall specify a purchase date which is a rental
         payment date not less than 120 nor more than 365 days after delivery of
         the Notice (the "Purchase Date"). On the Purchase Date, Landlord shall
         convey the Leased Property to Tenant free of all liens except liens
         created or consented to by Tenant or placed on the Leased Property in
         default of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and Tenant shall pay
         to an amount equal to the Purchase Price (as defined below) plus all
         Base Rent or LIBOR Rent accrued up to the Purchase Date, at which time
         this Lease shall terminate. For purposes of this section, the "Purchase
         Price" shall be the greater of (a) the fair market value of the Leased
         Property on the date immediately preceding the date the Substantial
         Casualty occurred, or (b) the sum of the outstanding principal balance
         of any existing loans in favor of Landlord which are secured, in whole
         or in part, by the Leased Property and all accrued but unpaid interest
         thereon, as of the Purchase Date. Any insurance

                                       9
<PAGE>

         proceeds payable in connection with such casualty shall be payable to
         Tenant. Each party will pay its own expenses in connection with the
         purchase.

                  (ii) Substitution. If Tenant elects to deliver a Substitute
         Property to Landlord following a Substantial Casualty, Tenant shall
         convey to Landlord on the next rental payment date which occurs not
         less than 120 nor more than 365 days after the delivery of the Notice
         (the "Substitution Date"), in exchange for the Leased Property, a
         Substitute Property as defined below.

                  If, in substitution for the Leased Property, Tenant notifies
         Landlord that Tenant intends to convey to Landlord a fee simple
         interest in a land parcel and in the improvements thereon (the
         "Substitute Property"), Tenant shall, pursuant to the Notice, notify
         Landlord that Tenant will convey to Landlord, on or prior to the
         Substitution Date, the Substitute Property (v) which, when substituted
         for the Leased Property, will result in Landlord having a tax free
         exchange, (w) having a fair market value determined as if free of all
         encumbrances (as certified by an appraiser) not less than the greater
         of (i) the then fair market value of the Leased Property determined as
         if free of all encumbrances (as certified by an appraiser) and (ii) the
         certified costs incurred with respect to the Land acquisition, the
         construction of the Improvements, as defined in the Purchase and Sale
         Agreement made and entered into by and among Landlord and Tenant dated
         effective as of December 15, 2000 (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement"),
         and the related capitalized expenses with respect to the Leased
         Property, (x) the improvements of which are of the same type, used or
         useful for the same or substantially similar purposes and are in
         structure and construction similar to the Improvements and (y) which is
         subject to no liens or

                                       10
<PAGE>

         encumbrances. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an appraisal of the
         Leased Property and an appraisal of the Substitute Property made by an
         appraiser or appraisers selected by Tenant, subject to the approval of
         Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which
         appraisals shall be made at the expense of Tenant.

                  Tenant shall pay all rent and other sums then due and payable
         hereunder through and including the Substitution Date. Upon compliance
         with this Section 8.04(b)(ii), the Leased Property shall be conveyed to
         Tenant or its designee and thereupon this Lease shall terminate as to
         the Leased Property, except with respect to obligations and liabilities
         of Tenant hereunder, actual or contingent, which have arisen on or
         prior to the Substitution Date. Simultaneously with such conveyance,
         Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a lease of the Substitute
         Property, which lease shall be identical in all respects to this Lease
         (including the provisions hereof with respect to rent) except with
         respect to the Commencement Date thereof and any other changes required
         by the location and/or character of the Substitute Property. Tenant
         shall convey to Landlord a good and marketable fee simple interest in
         the Substitute Property and deliver to Landlord (A) an owner's policy
         of title insurance in favor of Landlord in form and amount satisfactory
         to Landlord and (B) a currently dated "as-built" survey in form and
         substance satisfactory to Landlord and (C) such other instruments as
         may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant shall have obtained all
         necessary approvals, authorizations and consents of all governmental
         bodies (including courts) having jurisdiction with respect to the
         transactions. Each party shall pay its own expenses in connection with
         the substitution.

Section 8.05 Tenant's Repairs for Building and Occupancy Regulations.

         If any governmental agency or any department or division thereof shall
condemn the Leased Property or any part thereof as unsafe or as not in
conformity with the laws and regulations relating to the use, occupation, and
construction thereof (including, without limitation, the Americans with
Disabilities Act, as amended), or shall order or require any rebuilding,
alteration or repair, Tenant shall immediately at Tenant's own cost and expense
(and without any right of reimbursement from Landlord) effect such alterations
and repairs in the Leased Property as may be necessary to comply with such laws,
regulations, orders, or requirements. All such alterations and repairs shall be
made in accordance with the plans and specifications approved in writing by
Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 8.06 Condition of Leased Property on Surrender.

         At the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Leased
Property to Landlord in good condition and repair, subject only to the
consequences and effect of reasonable wear and tear and permissible alteration,
additions and changes under Section 8.03, condemnation, casualty and acts of God
and the terms of Section 8.04 herein.

Section 8.07 Mechanic's Liens.

         Tenant will pay for all work performed on the Leased Property by its
employees or contractors and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all
liability resulting from any lien or claim of lien arising out of such work.
Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to contest the
validity of any such lien or claimed lien. Landlord shall have the right to
enter the Leased Property for the purpose of posting notices of nonliability for
work performed at the direction of Tenant. Should a lien be filed against the
Leased Property or any other action, affecting title thereto be commenced, the
party first receiving notice thereof shall immediately give

                                       12
<PAGE>

written notice to the other party. Tenant shall promptly take all necessary
action to cause the same to be discharged or removed.

                            ARTICLE 9. CONDEMNATION

Section 9.01 Condemnation.

         (a) Repairable Condemnation. In the event of a condemnation of the Land
or the Improvements to the Land after which Tenant does not elect to terminate
this Lease pursuant to Section 9.01(b) below, Tenant shall promptly commence and
diligently complete such repair, reconstruction and restoration to a use similar
to, and fair market value not less than, what existed prior to the condemnation;
provided, however, if the net condemnation award exceeds the cost of repair,
Landlord may retain such excess, and the fair market value of the Premises after
such repair shall not be less than the fair market value of the Premises prior
to the taking, reduced by any award so retained by Landlord. If Landlord retains
any excess award, the purchase price payable by Tenant in the event of a
purchase of the Premises pursuant to Article 8, 9, or 12 shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the amount so retained by Landlord. All condemnation proceeds
shall be made available to Tenant to complete such repairs. This Lease shall
continue in full force and effect, and Base Rent and LIBOR Rent shall not be
abated as a result of such taking.

         (b) Substantial Condemnation. In the event of a taking of all or any
portion of the Leased Property under the power of eminent domain in a bona fide
transaction by any public or quasi public authority which, in the good faith
opinion of Tenant's Board of Directors, renders the Leased Property unsuitable
for continued use in Tenant's trade or business (a "Substantial Condemnation"),
Tenant shall, within eighteen (18) months following such Substantial
Condemnation, either (A) purchase the Leased Property from Landlord under the
procedures set forth in Section 8.04(b)(i) (relating to a purchase of the Leased
Property following a Substantial

                                       13
<PAGE>

set forth in Section 8.04(b)(ii) (relating to substitution following a
Substantial Casualty).

Section 9.02 Notice of Condemnation.

         Landlord shall, immediately after it receives notice of the intention
of any such authority to appropriate or take all or any portion of the Leased
Property, give to Tenant notice in writing of such intended appropriation or
taking.

Section 9.03 Voluntary Sale as Taking.

         A voluntary sale by Landlord to any public body or agency having the
power of eminent domain, either under threat of condemnation or while
condemnation proceedings are pending, shall be deemed to be taking under the
power of eminent domain for the purposes of this Article 9.

                      ARTICLE 10. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

Section 10.01 Indemnification of Landlord by Tenant.

Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or liability of any kind or for any
damage or injury to persons or property during the Term from any cause
whatsoever by reason of the use, occupation, and enjoyment of the Leased
Property by Tenant or any person thereon or holding under Tenant. Tenant will
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from all liability on account of any such
damage or injury and from all liens, claims and demands arising out of the use
of any improvement upon the Leased Property and its facilities or any repairs,
construction or alterations which Tenant may make upon the Leased Property.
However, nothing in this Lease shall impose liability on Tenant for damage or
injury occasioned by failure of Landlord to comply with its obligations
hereunder or by reason of the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants or
employees.

directly caused by agents or employees of Landlord. Landlord will indemnify and
save harmless Tenant from all such liability whatsoever, on account of such
damage or injury to the extent that the insurance provided in Section 10.03
hereof does not fully insure against such damage or injury. This provision shall
not be deemed to invalidate any insurance coverage provided for under the
provision of Section 10.03 hereof or to entitle any insurance carrier thereunder
to any right of subrogation against Landlord.

Section 10.03 Tenant's Insurance.

         Tenant shall carry and maintain, during the Term, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense, the following types of insurance, naming Landlord and Landlord's

liability insurance with limits of not less than Thirty-Six Million Dollars
($36,000,000.00) for each occurrence for bodily injury (including death) and
property damage, insuring against liability of Tenant with respect to the Leased
Property or arising out of the maintenance, use or occupancy thereof.

                  (b) Fire Insurance-Tenant. A policy or policies of fire
insurance with a standard form extended coverage endorsement, to the extent of
at least 100% of the replacement cost of Tenant's improvements, fixtures,
equipment and merchandise, which may from time to time be located in or on the
Leased Property, and any trade fixtures and equipment of others which are in the
Tenant's possession and which are located within the Leased Property. Landlord
shall have no interest in the insurance on Tenant's improvements, merchandise,
equipment or fixtures and will sign all documents necessary or proper in
connection with the settlement of any claim or loss by Tenant; provided,
however, Tenant shall maintain such replacement cost insurance on all items of
Personal

                                       15
<PAGE>

Property and shall name Landlord or Landlord's lender or mortgagee as the
insured with all proceeds payable to Landlord or its lender or mortgagee as
their interest may appear. Landlord shall replace any such Personal Property
which is covered by insurance proceeds paid to Landlord with items of like kind
selected by Tenant to the extent of such insurance proceeds. No abatement in
rent shall be made nor the Lease cancelled in the event of damage or destruction
of Personal Property.

                  (c) Fire Insurance for Improvements. A policy of fire
insurance with standard form extended coverage endorsement to the extent of full
replacement value of the improvements located on the Land to be adjusted
annually to reflect changes in full replacement value. The proceeds of such
insurance policies shall be payable to Landlord and shall be used by Landlord as
herein provided. Such insurance policies shall contain a standard mortgagee
"loss payable" clause in favor of Landlord's lender or mortgagee as may be
required by such lender or mortgagee and shall further provide that the same may
not be cancelled, except upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to such
lender or mortgagee and to Landlord. Tenant will sign all documents necessary or
proper in connection with the settlement of any claim or loss under this Section
10.03 (c) by Landlord.

                  (d) Business Interruption Insurance. Business interruption
insurance in an amount equal to twelve (12) months' Base Rent and LIBOR Rent as
Base Rent and LIBOR Rent are adjusted hereunder.

Section 10.04 Method of Coverage.

         Tenant's obligations to insure under this Article 10 may be provided by
appropriate amendment, rider or endorsement on any blanket policy or policies
carried by Tenant. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the originals of all such
policies or certified copies thereof.

                                       16
<PAGE>

Section 10.05 Policy Requirements.

         All policies of property insurance to be provided by Landlord or Tenant
shall be issued by companies qualified to do business in the State of North
Carolina, rated at least A by A.M. Best Co. and approved by Landlord and
Landlord's lender or mortgagee, and with regard to fire insurance policies,
shall be issued in the names of Tenant and Landlord as their interest may
appear. With respect to each policy of insurance and each renewal thereof
required pursuant to this Article 10, both parties, at the beginning of the Term
and thereafter not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any
such policy, shall furnish each other with certificates of insurance for such
coverage. If any lender reasonably requests additional or substituted coverage,
Landlord and Tenant mutually agree to cooperate to satisfy the reasonable
demands of such lender.

Section 10.06 Mutual Waiver Of Subrogation.

         For the purpose of waiver of subrogation, the parties mutually release
and waive unto the other all rights to claim damages, costs or expenses for any
injury to persons (including death) or property caused by a casualty of any type
whatsoever in, on or about the Lease Property if the amount of such damage, cost
or expense has been paid to such damaged party under the terms of any policy of
insurance. All insurance policies carried with respect to this Lease, if
permitted under applicable law, shall contain a provision whereby the insurer
waives, prior to loss, all rights of subrogation against either Landlord or
Tenant.

                ARTICLE 11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING PERMITTED

         Tenant may not assign this Lease nor sublet all or any part of the
Leased Property without the prior written consent of the Landlord, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of
the terms of any proposed assignment or subletting, the name and address of the
proposed assignee or sublessee, and, in the case of a sublease, the area
proposed to be


                                       17
<PAGE>

sublet. Landlord shall notify Tenant within ninety (90) days of Tenant's giving
such notice that it consents or that it withholds its consent to Tenant's
proposal. Failure of Landlord to give Tenant such notice within such ninety (90)
day period shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to withhold its consent
to Tenant's proposed assignment or sublease. Any such permitted assignment and
subletting shall be subject to and governed by the terms of this Lease, and
Tenant shall remain liable for the full performance of all conditions of this
Lease and the payment of all rents hereunder.

                  ARTICLE 12. TENANT'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

         For and in consideration of the sum of Ten and No/100 ($10.00) Dollars
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged and in addition to its rights to purchase the Leased
Property as provided in Articles 8 and 9, Landlord agrees not to sell, transfer,
pledge, encumber or otherwise convey any interest in the Leased Property without
first notifying Tenant and providing Tenant with the right of first refusal to
which it is entitled as herein provided for.

                  (a) Notice. In the event there should exist a bona fide offer
for the purchase of the Leased Property, Landlord, prior to the acceptance of
such offer and the consummation of any sale thereof, shall notify Tenant in
writing of such offer and shall offer to Tenant the opportunity to purchase the
Leased Property upon the same terms and conditions as is contained in the bona
fide offer. Tenant shall have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of such
written notice within which to notify Landlord of its desire to exercise its
right of first refusal, and any sale resulting therefrom shall be closed
thereafter as soon as practicable. In the event Tenant should fail to notify
Landlord of its desire to exercise its right of first refusal within the time
allowed herein or fail to consummate the purchase within a reasonable time
thereafter, then Landlord shall be free to sell the Leased Property pursuant to
the bona fide offer, within a period of one hundred twenty (120) days

                                       18
<PAGE>

thereafter. An offer shall not be deemed a bona fide offer unless it is made in
good faith, in writing and by a person or corporation financially able to
consummate the transaction. Any material change in the economic terms or
conditions of a bona fide offer shall necessitate a further notice and the
granting of a further right of first refusal to Tenant.

                  (b) Specific Performance. Landlord and Tenant hereby expressly
acknowledge that any breach of this agreement concerning Tenant's right of first
refusal will result in irreparable injury to Tenant, and that therefore Tenant
shall be entitled to obtain the specific performance of said agreement and a
restraining order or injunction prohibiting Landlord from violating said
agreement as an appropriate remedy in a court of proper jurisdiction. This right
shall not preclude Tenant from obtaining any other appropriate relief to which
it may be entitled, including all costs and reasonable attorneys fees incurred
in enforcing said agreement.

                        ARTICLE 13. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 13.01 Default by Tenant--Termination After Notice--Opportunity to
              Remedy.

         Should (i) default be made by Tenant in the payment of any portion of
the rent, taxes or other charges when due and should such default continue for
more than fourteen (14) days after written notice to Tenant from the obligee of
such charge or from Landlord specifying such default, or (ii) Tenant fail to
keep the required insurance coverage in full force and effect at all times, or
(iii) default be made, and continue for more than thirty (30) days after written
notice from Landlord specifying such default in the performance of any of the
other covenants on the part of Tenant to be kept or performed, then, and only in
such event, Landlord may at Landlord's option terminate Tenant's right to
possession of the Leased Property by written notice to Tenant and shall have the
immediate right of reentry to remove all persons and property from same and
dispose of or store such property as it deems fit, and in addition or in the
alternative to take such other action or pursue


                                       19
<PAGE>

such other remedies and recover such damages as may be permitted under the laws
of the State of North Carolina; provided, however, that no such termination
shall be effected or action taken or remedy pursued until the expiration of such
additional period, if any, as may be reasonably necessary to remedy a default
involving other than the payment of money, if it is of such character as to
require more than thirty (30) days to remedy and Tenant proceeds promptly and
diligently to cure and correct the same within a reasonable time period and,
further provided that the period for curing any default shall not be extended so
as to jeopardize the interest of Landlord in the Leased Property or subject
Landlord to civil or criminal liability.

Section 13.02 Landlord's Default After Notice and Opportunity to Remedy.

         Should default be made by Landlord, and continue for more than thirty
(30) days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord, in transferring the
Leased Property to Tenant or in allowing a substitution of property pursuant to
Articles 8 or 9 hereof, Tenant may at Tenant's option terminate this Lease
forthwith by written notice to Landlord.

Section 13.03 Right to Remedy Default.

         Each party shall have the right after ten (10) days' written notice to
the other (but shall not be obligated) to correct or remedy any default upon the
part of the other, not cured within the notice period, under any provision of
this Lease, and both parties agree that, if a party shall correct or remedy any
such default, the other party shall pay to the performing party the cost of
correction upon demand, provided such notice shall not be required in the event
of the failure of Tenant to maintain the required insurance or pay taxes as
herein required.

Section 13.04 Termination for Tenant's Bankruptcy or Insolvency.

         Tenant agrees that in the event all or substantially all of its assets
are placed in the hands of a receiver or trustee, and such receivership or
trusteeship continues for a period of sixty (60) days, or


                                       20
<PAGE>

should Tenant make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or be adjudicated
a bankrupt, or should Tenant institute any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act,
as the same now exists or under any amendment thereof, which may hereafter be
enacted, or under any other act relating to the subject of bankruptcy wherein
Tenant seeks to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or seeks to be discharged of its
debts, or to effect a plan of liquidation, or should any involuntary proceeding
be filed against Tenant under any such bankruptcy laws and Tenant consents
thereto or acquiesces therein by pleading or default, then this Lease or any
interest in and to the Leased Property shall not become an asset in any of such
proceedings and all rent payable by Tenant to Landlord for the remainder of the
Term shall immediately become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord without
notice of default of any kind, which notice is hereby expressly waived by
Tenant. Such rent for the remainder of the Term shall be calculated by using the
Base Rent and LIBOR Rent in effect at the time of Tenant's default and
discounting it to present value at the time of default by applying the judgment
rate then in effect. Landlord and Tenant agree that due to the difficulty of
measuring Landlord's damages in such event, such future rent shall constitute
liquidated damages which shall compensate Landlord for Tenant's default. In any
such event, and in addition to any and all rights or remedies of Landlord
hereunder or by law provided, it shall be lawful for Landlord at its option to
declare the Term ended and to re-enter the Leased Property and take possession
thereof and to remove all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further
claim thereon or hereunder.

                    ARTICLE 14. SUBORDINATION AND MORTGAGEE.

Section 14.01 Subordination of Lease to Future Liens.

         Tenant hereby subjects and subordinates all or any of its rights under
this Lease to any and all mortgages and deeds of trust now existing or placed on
the Land or the Leased Property in the future; provided, however, that the
applicable mortgagee stipulates that Tenant will not be disturbed

                                       21
<PAGE>

in the quiet and peaceful use and enjoyment of the Leased Property so long as
Tenant is not in default hereunder and Tenant's options and rights to purchase
as herein set forth shall not be affected by any action taken under or pursuant
to such deed of trust, provided Tenant is not in default hereunder. Landlord and
Tenant agree that this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any default or foreclosure under any such mortgage or deed of
trust, and that Tenant will attorn to the mortgagee, trustee or beneficiary of
such mortgage or deed of trust and their successors or assigns, or the purchaser
or assignee under any such foreclosure. Tenant will, upon request by Landlord,
execute and deliver to Landlord, or to any other person designated by Landlord,
any instrument or instruments required to give effect to the provisions of this
Article 14, so long as Landlord first obtains from any lender connected with
such request a written agreement providing: "As long as Tenant performs its
obligations under this Lease, no foreclosure of, deed given in lieu of
foreclosure of, or sale under the encumbrance, and no steps or procedures taken
under the encumbrance, shall affect Tenant's rights under this Lease."

Section 14.02 Notice to Mortgagee and Right to Cure Landlord's Default.

         If the Leased Property or any part thereof is at any time subject to a
first deed of trust and if Tenant is given notice thereof, including the post
office address of the beneficiary in such deed of trust, then notwithstanding
any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not terminate
this Lease for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving written
notice to such beneficiary specifying the default in reasonable detail, and
affording such beneficiary a reasonable time thereafter (but not less than sixty
(60) days) to cure such default, including, if necessary, the time needed to
foreclose said deed of trust, acquire title to the Leased Property and then cure
such default; provided, however, any monetary default of Landlord must be cured
during


                                       22
<PAGE>

such period of time as is necessary to foreclose the property and further
provided that such foreclosure is pursued diligently during such period.

Section 14.03 Tenant's Consent to Changes in Lease.

         If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Leased Property, a
banking, insurance or other recognized institutional lender shall request
reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant
will not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided
that such modification does not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or
adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant's use and
enjoyment of the Leased Property.

                        ARTICLE 15. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

Section 15.01 No Waiver of Breach.

         No failure by either Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict
performance by the other of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this
Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall
constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or
condition. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each
and every covenant, condition, agreement and term of this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach.

Section 15.02 Time of Essence.

         Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions contained in this
Lease and each provision thereof.


                                       23
<PAGE>

Section 15.03 Computation of Time.

         The time in which any act provided by this Lease is to be done is
computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last day
is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, and then it is also excluded.

Section 15.04 Unavoidable Delay-Force Majeure.

         If either party shall be delayed or prevented from the performance of
any act required by this Lease by reason of act of God, strikes, lockouts, labor
troubles, inability to procure materials, restrictive governmental laws or
regulations or other cause, without fault and beyond the reasonable control of
the party obligated (financial inability excepted), performance of such act
shall be excused for the period of the delay; and the period of the performance
of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such
delay; provided, however, nothing in this Section 15.04 shall excuse Tenant from
the prompt payment of any rental or other charge required of Tenant.

Section 15.05 Successor in Interest.

         Landlord shall not assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of its
interest in the Leased Property or this Lease without first providing Tenant
with the right of first refusal to which it is entitled as provided in Article
12 hereof and, in the event Tenant declines to exercise such right, without the
written agreement of the assignee, transferee or recipient of Landlord's
interest that it covenants and agrees to assume all the liabilities and
obligations of the "Landlord" under this Lease. In the event of such valid
assignment, Landlord shall be entirely freed and relieved of all liabilities and
obligations of the Landlord under this Lease which accrue from or after the date
of such sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
it is specifically understood and agreed that the liability of Landlord
hereunder shall be limited to the equity of


                                       24
<PAGE>

Landlord in the Land in the event of a breach by Landlord of any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of, this Lease to be performed by Landlord. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees that any judgment it may
obtain against Landlord as a result of a breach of any of the terms, covenants
or conditions hereof by Landlord shall be enforceable solely against the
Landlord's fee simple interest in the Land.

Section 15.06 Entire Agreement.

         This Lease and the Purchase and Sale Agreement contain the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered by this Lease. No
other agreement, statement or promise made by any party, or to any employee,
officer or agent of any party, which is not contained in these documents shall
be binding or valid.

Section 15.07 Partial Invalidity.

         If any covenant, condition or provision of this Lease is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

Section 15.08 Relationship of Parties.

         Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the
parties or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent
or of partnership or of joint venture or of any association between Landlord and
Tenant. Neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provisions
contained in this Lease nor any acts of the parties in connection with this
Lease shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant,
other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant.
