     A. Statements. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser to the best of
Seller's knowledge the following:

liens or unrecorded liens against the Property, and Seller shall not allow any

shall survive the termination of this Contract.

C. TERMINATION. If Purchaser determines, in Purchaser's sole discretion, no
matter how arbitrary, that the Property is not in satisfactory condition or is
not suitable for Purchaser's intended use or purpose, then Purchaser may
terminate this Contract by delivering a written notice to Seller on or before
the last day of the Inspection Period, and the refundable portion of the

(except for those which may expressly survive the termination of this Contract).

D. ACCEPTANCE. If Purchaser does not properly and timely terminate this
Contract before the expiration of the Inspection Period or if Purchaser
accepts the Property in writing) then Purchaser will be deemed to have waived
all objections to the Property under this Contract, except for any title
objections which may be outstanding pursuant to Section 6 of this Contract. In
that event, Purchaser agrees to purchase the Property in its current condition
without any further representations or warranties of Seller other than those
provided in Section 7 of the Contract, except any objections which Seller may

provision does not waive or otherwise limit or invalidate any express

hold harmless and defend Seller and its affiliates against any loss, damage,
liability or claim for personal injury or property damage and any other loss,

SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE OR CLAIM TO WHICH THE NEGLIGENCE OF SELLER MAY HAVE
CONTRIBUTED, but excluding any such loss, damage or claim if and to the extent
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller. Seller shall
have the right to have a representative present during any such inspections. If
Purchaser desires to do any invasive testing at the Property, Purchaser shall do
so only after notifying Seller and obtaining Seller's consent thereto, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and may be subject to
reasonable terms and conditions as may be proposed by Seller. Purchaser shall be

Lease Term stated in Section 1.05. The Commencement Date is the date specified
in Section 1.05, unless advanced or delayed under any provision of this Lease.

2.04. Holding Over. Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises immediately upon
the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for any indemnify Landlord against all direct and
actual damages incurred by Landlord as a result of any delay by Tenant in
vacating the Demised Premises. If Tenant does not vacate the Demised Premises
upon the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant's occupancy of the Demised Premises shall be a day-to-day tenancy,
subject to all of the terms of this Lease, except that the Base Rent during the
holdover period shall be increased to an amount which is one-and-one-half
(1 1/2) times the Base Rent in effect on the expiration or termination of this
Lease, computed on a daily basis for each day of the holdover period, plus all
additional sums due under this Lease. This paragraph shall not be construed as
Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold over or to extend this Lease.

ARTICLE THREE: RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT

3.01. Manner of Payment. All sums payable under this Lease by Tenant (the
"Rent") shall be made to the Landlord at the address designated in Section 1.02,
unless another person is designated in Section 1.10, or to any other party or
address as Landlord may designate in writing. Any and all payments made to a
designated third party for the account of the Landlord shall be deemed made to
Landlord when received by the designated third party. All sums payable by Tenant
under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute
rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code and for all
other purposes. The Base Rent is the minimum rent for the Demised Premises and
is subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, together with
the attached Addenda, if any.

3.02. Time of Payment. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the
installment of Base Rent for the first month of the Lease Term. On or before the
first day of the second month of the Lease Term and of each month thereafter,
the installment of Base Rent and other sums due under this Lease shall be due
and payable, in advance, without off-set, deduction or prior demand Tenant shall
cause payments to be properly mailed or otherwise delivered so as to be actually
received by the party identified in 1.10 above on or before the due date (and
not merely deposited in the mail). If the Lease Term commences or ends on a day
other than the first or last day of a calendar month, the rent for any
fractional calendar month following the Commencement Date or preceding the end
of the Lease Term shall be prorated by days.

                                                                          Page 2
<PAGE>   13
3.03.  Late Charges. Tenant's failure to promptly pay sums due under this Lease
may cause the landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of those
costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. The costs may include
[ILLEGIBLE] not limited to processing and accounting charges and late charges
which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease or deed of trust
encumbering the Demised Premises. Payments due to Landlord under this Lease are
not an extension of credit. Therefore, if any payment under the Lease is not
actually received on or before three (3) days after the due date (and not merely
deposited in the mail) applicable, Landlord may, at Landlord's option and to the
extend allowed by applicable law; impose a Late Charge on any late payments in
an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the amount of the past due
payment the ("Late Charge") per day for each day after the due date, until the
past due amount in Good Funds is received by Landlord up to a maximum of ten
percent (10%) of the past due amount. A Late Charge may be imposed only once on
each past due payment. Any Late Charge will be in addition to Landlord's other
remedies for nonpayment of rent [if any check tendered to Landlord by Tenant
under this Lease is dishonored for any reason, Tenant shall pay to the party
receiving payments under this Lease a fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), plus
(at Landlord's option) a Late Charge as provided above until good funds are
received by Landlord. The parties agree that any Late Charge and dishonored
check fee represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will
incur by reason of the late payment or dishonored check. Payments received from
Tenant shall be applied first to any Late Charges, second to Base Rent, and last
to other unpaid charges or reimbursements due to Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord will not impose a Late Charge as to the first late payment
in any calendar year, unless Tenant fails to pay the late payment to Landlord
within three (3) business days after the delivery of a written notice from
Landlord to Tenant demanding the late payment be paid. However, Landlord may
impose a Late Charge without advance notice to Tenant on any subsequent late
payment in the same calendar year.

3.04.  Security Deposit. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord a cash Security Deposit in the amount stated in Section 1.08. Landlord
may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid Rent or other
charges due from Tenant or to cure any other defaults of Tenant. If Landlord
uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit
to its full amount within ten (10) days after Landlord's written demand.
Tenant's failure to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit within the
time specified shall be a default under this Lease. No interest will be paid on
the Security Deposit. Landlord will not be required to keep the Security Deposit
separate from its other accounts and no trust relationship is created with
respect to the Security Deposit. Upon any termination of this Lease not
resulting from Tenant's default, and after Tenant has vacated the Property and
cleaned and restored the Demised Premises in the manner required by this Lease,
Landlord shall refund the unused portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant
within thirty days after the Termination Date or thirty days after Tenant fully
complies with the conditions of termination as required in Section 7.05,
whichever is later.

3.05.  Good Funds Payments. If, for any reason whatsoever, any two or more
payments by check from Tenant to Landlord for Rent are dishonored and returned
unpaid, thereafter Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, upon written notice
to Tenant, require that all future payments of Rent for the remaining term of
the Lease must be made by cash, certified check, cashier's check, or money order
("Good Funds") and that the delivery of Tenant's personal or corporate check
will no longer constitute payment of Rent under this Lease provided, however, if
after twelve (12) consecutive timely payments of Rent in Good Funds as provided
herein, Tenant is not in Default hereunder, Tenant may resume paying Rent by
personal or corporate check so long as any such check thereafter is not
dishonored and returned unpaid. Any acceptance by Landlord of a payment for Rent
by Tenant's personal or corporate check thereafter shall not be construed as a
waiver of Landlord's right to insist upon payment by Good Funds as set forth
herein.

ARTICLE FOUR: TAXES

4.01.  Payments by Landlord. Tenant shall pay the real estate taxes on the
Demised Premises accruing during the Lease Term.

4.02.  Tenant shall pay such real estate taxes and, upon request, furnish
Landlord with written evidence of payment before the same becomes delinquent.
If Tenant fails to timely pay such real estate taxes, Landlord may pay the
taxes, whereupon Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for the amount
thereof, plus 5% of the amount.

4.03.  Joint Assessment. If the real estate taxes are assessed against the
Demised Premises jointly with other property not constituting a part of the
Demised Premises, the real estate taxes applicable to the Demised Premises shall
be equal to the amount bearing the same proportion to the aggregate assessment
that the total square feet of building area in the Demised Premises bears to the
total square feet of building area included in the joint assessment.

4.04.  Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all taxes assessed against
trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, inventory, products, or any other
personal property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to
have Tenant's property taxed separately from the Demised Premises. If any of
Tenant's property is taxed with the Demised Premises, Tenant shall pay the
taxes for its property to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant
receives a written statement from Landlord for the property taxes.

ARTICLE FIVE: INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

5.01.  Property Insurance. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain policies
of property insurance covering loss of or damage to the Demised Premises in an
amount or percentage of replacement value as Landlord deems reasonable in
relation to the age, location, type of construction and physical condition of
the Demised Premises and the availability of insurance at reasonable rates. The
policies shall provide protection against all perils included within the
classification of special causes, which includes fire and extended coverage and
providing such coverage and insuring against such perils as reasonably required
by Landlord, including, without limitation, business income and rental insurance
naming Landlord as the additional insured. Landlord may, at Landlord's option,
obtain insurance coverage for Tenant's fixtures, equipment or building
improvements installed by Tenant in or on the Demised Premises. Tenant shall, at
Tenant's expense, maintain insurance on its fixtures, equipment and building
improvements as Tenant deems necessary to protect Tenant's interest. Tenant
shall not do or permit to be done anything which invalidates any insurance
policies. Tenant shall deliver a copy of the policy or certificate of insurance
(or a renewal) to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and prior to the
expiration of the policy during the Lease Term. If Tenant fails to maintain the
policy, Landlord may elect to maintain the insurance at Tenant's expense which
Tenant shall reimburse to Landlord upon demand.

5.02.  Increase in Premiums. Tenant shall not permit any operation or activity
to be conducted, or storage or use of any volatile or any other materials, on or
about the Demised Premises that would cause suspension or cancellation of any
fire and extended coverage insurance policy without the prior written consent of
Landlord. If Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises causes an
increase in the premiums for any fire and extended coverage insurance policy,
Tenant shall pay the amount of the increase.

                                                                          Page 3


<PAGE>   14
5.04.  INDEMNITY.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or to Tenant's
employees, agents, invitees or visitors, or to any other person, for any injury
to persons or damage to property on or about the Demised Premises or any
adjacent area owned by Landlord caused by the negligence or misconduct of
Tenant, Tenant's employees, subtenants, agents, licensees or concessionaires or
any other person entering the Demised premises under express or implied
invitation of Tenant, or arising out of the use of the Demised Premises by
Tenant and the conduct of Tenant's business, or arising out of any breach or
default by Tenant in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease;
and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss,
expense or claims arising out of such damage or injury. Tenant shall not be
liable for any injury or damage caused by the negligence or misconduct of
Landlord, or Landlord's employees or agents, and Landlord agrees to indemnify
and hold Tenant harmless from any loss, expense or damage arising out of such
damage or injury.

5.06  WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.  Each party to this Lease waives any and every
claim which arises or may arise in its favor against the other party during the
term of this Lease or any renewal or extension of this Lease for any and all
loss of, or damage to, any of its property located within or upon, or
constituting a part of, the Demised Premises, which loss or damage is covered by
valid and collectible property insurance policies, to the extent that such loss
or damage is recoverable under such insurance policies. These mutual waivers
shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any other
waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss of, or damage
to, property of the parties. Inasmuch as these mutual waivers will preclude the
assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation or otherwise to an
insurance company (or any other person), each party hereby agrees to give
immediately to each insurance company (which has issued to such party policies
of fire and extended coverage insurance) written notice of the terms of such
mutual waivers, and to cause such policies to be properly endorsed to prevent
the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of these waivers.

Premises and shall not permit any mechanic's or materialman's lien to be filed
against the Demised Premises or the Property. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord proof of payment reasonably satisfactory to Landlord
of all costs incurred or arising out of any alterations, additions or
improvements.

7.05. Condition upon Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord broom clean and
as good a same condition as received, except for ordinary wear and tear which
Tenant is not otherwise obligated to remedy under any provision of this Lease.
Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any damage which Landlord is required to
repair under Article Eight (Damage or Destruction). In addition, Landlord may
require Tenant to remove any structural alterations, additions or improvements
(whether or not made with Landlord's consent) prior to the expiration or
termination of this Lease and to restore the Demised Premises to its prior
condition, all at Tenant's expense. All alterations, additions and improvements
which Landlord has not required Tenant to remove shall become Landlord's
property and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or termination
of this Lease. In no event, however, shall Tenant remove any of the following
materials or equipment without Landlord's prior written consent: (i) electrical
wiring or power panels; (ii) lighting or lighting fixtures; (iii) wall
coverings, drapes, blinds or other window coverings; (iv) carpets or other floor
coverings; (v) heating, ventilating, or air conditioning equipment; (vi) fencing
or security gates; or (vii) any other fixtures, equipment or items which, if
removed, would affect the operation or the appearance of the Property.

ARTICLE EIGHT: DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

8.01. Notice. If any buildings or other improvements situated on the property
are damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, windstorm, tornado or other casualty,
Tenant shall immediately give written notice of the damage or destruction to
Landlord.

8.02. Partial Damage. If the building or other improvements situated on the
Demised Premises are damaged by fire, tornado, or other casualty, but not to
such an extent that rebuilding or repairs cannot reasonably be completed within
one hundred eighty (180) days from the date Landlord receives written
notification by Tenant of the occurrence of the damage, this Lease shall not
terminate, but Landlord shall, to the extent of insurance proceeds available for
such rebuilding and restoration, proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild or
repair the building and other improvements on the Demised Premises (other than
leasehold improvements made by Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or other
occupant of the Demised Premises) to substantially the condition in which they
existed prior to the damage. If the casualty occurs during the final eighteen
(18) months of the Lease Term, Landlord shall not be required to rebuild or
repair the damage unless Tenant exercises Tenant's renewal option (if any)
within fifteen (15) days after the date of receipt by Landlord of the
notification of the occurrence of the damage. If Tenant does not exercise its
renewal option, or if there is no remaining renewal option, Landlord may, at
Landlord's option, terminate this Lease by promptly delivering a written
termination notice to Tenant, in which event the Rent shall be abated for the
unexpired portion of the Lease Term, effective from the date of receipt by
Landlord of the written notification of the damage. To the extent the Demised
Premises cannot be occupied (in whole or in part) following the casualty, the
Rent payable under this Lease during the period in which the Demised Premises
cannot be fully occupied shall be


                                                                          Page 6

<PAGE>   17
8.03.     Substantial or Total Destruction to the building or other improvements
situated in the Demised Premises are substantially or totally destroyed by fire,
tornado, or other casualty, and so damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot
reasonably be completed within one hundred days from the date Landlord receives
written notification by Tenant of the occurrence of the damage either Landlord
or Tenant may terminate this Lease by promptly delivering a written termination
notice to the other party, in which event the monthly installment of Rent shall
be calculated for the unexpired portion of the Lease Term, effective from the
date of the damage or destruction, if neither party terminates this Lease shall
to the extent of insurance proceeds available for such rebuilding and
restoration proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair the building
and other improvements except that Tenant shall rebuild and repair Tenant's
fixtures and improvements in the Demised Premises). To the extent the Demised
Premises cannot be occupied in whole or in part following the casualty, the Rent
payable under this Lease during the period in which the Demised Premises cannot
be fully occupied shall be adjusted equitably. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 8.03, Tenant
may provide written notice to Landlord within ten (10) business days thereafter
of Tenant's election to rebuild the Demised Premises, in which event (i) this
Lease shall not terminate, (ii) Landlord shall rebuild the Demised Premises in
accordance with Section 8.03 as if Landlord had not elected to terminate, and
(iv) Rent payable under this Lease during the period in which the Demised
Premises cannot be fully occupied shall be adjusted equitably. If the damage or
destruction occurs during the last 18 months of the Term or of the first
Extension, Tenant may not make the foregoing election unless it first exercises
the next renewal option. Tenant may not make such election during the last 18
months of the final Extension.

ARTICLE NINE: CONDEMNATION

If, during the Lease Term or any extension thereof, all or a substantial part of
the Demised Premises are taken for any public or quasi-public use [ILLEGIBLE]
any governmental law, ordinance or regulation or by right of eminent domain, or
are conveyed to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, this
Lease shall terminate and the monthly installments of Rent shall be abated
during the unexpired portion of the Lease Term, effective from the date of the
taking. If less than a substantial part of the Demised Premises is taken for
public or quasi-public use under any governmental law ordinance or regulation,
or by right of eminent domain, or is conveyed to the condemning authority under
threat of concentration, Landlord shall promptly, at Landlord's expense, restore
and reconstruct the buildings and improvements (other than leasehold
improvements made by Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the
Demised Premises) situated on the Demised Premises in order to make the same
reasonably tenantable and suitable for the use for which the Demised Premises is
leased as defined in Section 6.01. The monthly installments of Rent payable
under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the Lease Term shall be
adjusted equitably. Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and
retain such separate awards and portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated
to their respective interests in any condemnation proceeding. The termination of
this Lease shall not affect the rights of the parties to such awards. As used
herein, the phrase "less than a substantial part of the Demised Premises" shall
mean a part of the Demised Premises that, if taken or after being restored or
reconstructed by Landlord, will not prevent Tenant from fully occupying the
Demised Premises and conducting its normal business operations therein.

ARTICLE TEN: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord not to be
unreasonably withheld, assign this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises or any
portion thereof. Any assignment or subletting shall be expressly subject to all
terms and provisions of this Lease, including the provisions of Section 6.01
pertaining to the use of the Demised Premises. In the event of any assignment or
subletting, Cerprobe Corporation shall remain fully liable for the full
performance of all Tenants obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall not assign
its rights under this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises without first
obtaining a written agreement from the assignee or sublessee whereby the
assignee or sublessee agrees to assure the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease and to be bound by the terms of this Lease. If an event of default occurs
while the Demised Premises is assigned or sublet, Landlord may, at Landlord's
option, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or by law,
collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due under the
terms of the assignment or subletting and apply the rent against any sums due to
Landlord under this Lease. No direct collection by Landlord from any assignee or
subtenant will release Tenant from Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The
following shall be deemed to be reasonable under Paragraph 10 of this Lease
hereunder and shall be permitted without the consent of the Landlord: (i) any
merger, consolidation or other combination of Tenant with or into another
entity, (ii) a sale, assignment, pledge, transfer, exchange or other disposition
in a single transaction or in a series of transactions of the stock of Tenant or
any entity which directly or indirectly controls Tenant, or (iii) any direct or
indirect change in control of Tenant, provided, the surviving entity in any
merger, consolidation or other combination or the purchase or other transfer of
the stock of Tenant shall assume and agree in writing to perform the obligations
of Tenant under this Lease as if it were an assignee or sublessee, and (iv) any
assignment or sublease of all or any portion of the Demised Premises to an
entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant.
As used herein, "control" shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management policies of such
person or entity whether through the ownership of voting securities, or other
interests, by contract or otherwise. Cerprobe Corporation shall remain fully
liable for the full performance of all Tenant's obligations under the Lease.

ARTICLE ELEVEN: DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

11.01.    Default. Each of the following events is an event of default under
this Lease:

          A. Failure of Tenant to pay any installment of the Rent on the day
that it is due or any other sum payable to Landlord under this Lease on the date
that it is due and the continuance of such failure for a period of five (5) days
after Landlord delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant. This clause
shall not be construed to permit or allow a delay in paying Rent beyond the
due date and shall not affect Landlord's right to impose a Late Charge as
permitted in Section 3.03.

          B. Failure of Tenant to comply with any term, condition or covenant of
this Lease, other than the payment of Rent or other sum of money, and the
continuance of that failure for a period of thirty (30) days after Landlord
delivers written notice of the failure to Tenant; provided, if the nature of the
default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day
period, then so long as Tenant has commenced the cure within such thirty (30)
days period and is diligently pursuing the same, the cure period shall be
extended for such additional time as is reasonably necessary to complete the
cure, up to, but not exceeding, an additional thirty (30) days after the end of
the initial thirty (30) day cure period.

          C. Failure of Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease to pay its debts as they become due or an admission in writing of
inability to pay its debts, or the making of a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors;

          D. The commencement by Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease of any case, proceeding or other action seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its
debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief
of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property;

          E. The commencement of any case, proceeding or other action against
Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations under this Lease seeking to have
an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its
debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief
of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, and
Tenant or any guarantor: (i) fails to obtain a dismissal of such case,
proceeding, or other action within sixty (60) days of its commencement; or (ii)
converts the case from one chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code to another
chapter; or (iii) is the subject of an order of relief which is not fully stayed
within seven (7) business days after the entry thereof; and


                                                                          Page 7
<PAGE>   18
11.02.  REMEDIES.  Upon the occurrence of any of the events of default listed in
Section 11.01, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the
following remedies without any [Illegible] or demand.

     A.  Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender
the Demised Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to so surrender the Demised
Premises, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy contained herein
which it may have for possession of the Demised Premises or Rent in arrears,
enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove
Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Demised Premises or any
part thereof, by force if necessary, without being liable for prosecution or any
claim for damages. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of
all loss and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of the termination,
whether through inability to re-let the Demised Premises on satisfactory terms
or otherwise.

     B.  Enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises, by force if
necessary, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for
prosecution or for any claim for damages, and expel or remove Tenant and any
other person who may be occupying the Demised Premises or any part thereof.
Landlord may re-let the Demised Premises and receive the rent therefor. Tenant
agrees to pay to Landlord monthly or on demand from time to time any deficiency
that may arise by reason of any such re-letting. In determining the amount of
the deficiency, the professional service fees, attorneys' fees, court costs,
remodeling expenses and other costs of re-letting shall be subtracted from the
amount of rent received under the re-letting.

     C.  Enter upon the Demised Premises, by force if necessary, without
terminating this Lease and without being liable for prosecution or for any
claim for damages, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of
this Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand for expenses which Landlord
may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this
Lease, together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per
annum from the date expended until paid. Unless caused by the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by negligence of Landlord
or otherwise.

     E.  In addition to the foregoing remedies, Landlord shall have the right
to change or modify the locks on the Demised Premises in the event Tenant fails
to pay the monthly installment of Rent when due. Landlord shall not be
obligated to provide another key to Tenant or allow Tenant to regain entry to
the Demises Premises unless and until Tenant pays Landlord all Rent which is
delinquent. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
resulting to the Tenant from the lockout. At such time that Landlord changes or
modifies the lock, Landlord shall post a "Notice of Change of Locks" on the
front of the Demised Premises. Such Notice shall state that:

     (1) Tenant's monthly installment of Rent is delinquent, and therefore,
under authority of Section 11.02.E of Tenant's Lease, the Landlord has
exercised its contractual right to change or modify Tenant's door locks;

     (2) The Notice has been posted on the Tenant's front door by a
representative of Landlord and Tenant should make arrangements with the
representative to pay the delinquent installments of Rent when Tenant picks up
the key; and

     (3) The failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of the Lease and
the Notice and/or tampering with or changing the door lock(s) by Tenant may
subject Tenant to legal liability.

     F.  No re-entry or taking possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord
shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease, unless a written
notice of that intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-letting
or re-entry or taking possession, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, elect to
terminate this Lease for a previous default. Pursuit of any of the foregoing
remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any other remedies provided by law, nor
shall pursuit of any remedy provided in this Lease constitute a forfeiture or
waiver of any monthly installment of Rent due to Landlord under this Lease or of
any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms,
provisions and covenants contained in this Lease. Failure of Landlord to declare
any default immediately upon its occurrence, or failure to enforce one or more
of Landlord's remedies, or forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of
Landlord's remedies upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to
constitute a waiver of default or waiver of any violation or breach of the terms
of this Lease. Pursuant of any one of the above remedies shall not preclude
pursuit by Landlord of any of the other remedies provided in this Lease. The
loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of termination of this Lease
or the deficiency from any re-letting as provided for above shall include the
expense of repossession and any repairs or remodeling undertaken by Landlord
following possession. If Landlord terminates this Lease at any time for any
default, in addition to other Landlord's remedies, Landlord may recover from
Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of the default, including the
cost of recovering the Demised Premises and the Rent then remaining unpaid.

11.03.  NOTICE OF DEFAULT.  Tenant shall give written notice of any failure by
Landlord to perform any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease to Landlord
and to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed of trust
encumbering the Demised Premises whose name and address have been furnished to
Tenant in writing. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless
Landlord (or such ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure the
nonperformance within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice.
However, if the nonperformance reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days
to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if the cure is commenced within the
30-day period and is thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

11.04.  LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY.  As used in this Lease, the term
"Landlord" means only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the
Demised Premises or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Demised
Premises at the time in question. Each Landlord is obligated to perform the
obligations of Landlord under this Lease only during the time such Landlord
owns such interest or title. Any Landlord who transfers its title or interest
is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under
this Lease accruing on or after the date of transfer, and Tenant agrees to
recognize the transferee as Landlord under this Lease subject to Article 10
hereof. However, each Landlord shall deliver to its transferee the Security
Deposit held by Landlord if such Security Deposit has not then been applied
under the terms of this Lease.

                                                                          Page 8
<PAGE>   19
ARTICLE TWELVE: LANDLORD'S CONTRACTUAL LIEN

In addition to the statutory Landlord's lien, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a
security interest to secure payment of all Rent and other sums of money becoming
due under this Lease from Tenant upon all inventory, goods, wares, equipment,
fixtures, furniture and all other personal property of Tenant situated in or
upon the Demised Premises, together with the proceeds from the sale or lease
thereof. Tenant may not remove such property without the consent of Landlord
until all Rent in arrears and other sums of money then due to Landlord under
this Lease have first been paid and discharged. Upon the occurrence of an event
of default, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided in this
Lease or by law, enter upon the Demised Premises and take possession of any and
all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture and other personal property of
Tenant situated on the Demised Premises without liability for trespass or
conversion and sell the property at public or private sale, with or without
having the property at the sale, after giving Tenant reasonable notice of the
time and place of any such sale. Unless otherwise required by law, notice to
Tenant of the sale shall be deemed sufficient if given in the manner prescribed
in this Lease at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale. Any public
sale made under this Article shall be deemed to have been conducted in a
commercially reasonable manner if held on the Demised Premises or where the
property is located, after the time, place and method of sale and a general
description of the types of property to be sold have been advertised in a daily
newspaper published in the county where the Demised Premises is located for five
(5) consecutive days before the date of the sale. Landlord or its assigns may
purchase at a public sale and, unless prohibited by law, at a private sale. The
proceeds from any disposition dealt with in this Article, less any and all
expenses connected with the taking of possession, holding and selling of the
property (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses), shall be
applied as a credit against the indebtedness secured by the security interest
granted herein. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or as otherwise required by
law, and Tenant shall promptly pay any deficiencies. The statutory lien for rent
is expressly reserved; the security interest herein granted is in addition and
supplementary thereto. Provided Tenant is not in default under any of the terms
of this Lease, upon written request by Tenant Landlord shall deliver a written
subordination of Landlord's statutory and contractual liens to any liens and
security interests securing any financing of Tenant. Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold or delay the delivery of Landlord's written subordination.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN: PROTECTION OF LENDERS

13.01. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. Landlord shall have the right to
subordinate this Lease to any existing future ground Lease, deed of trust or
mortgage encumbering the Demised Premises (a "mortgage") and advances made on
the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations,
replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded. Landlord's right
to obtain such a subordination is subject to Landlord's providing Tenant with a
written Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the ground
lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee wherein Tenant's right to peaceable possession
of the Demised Premises during the Lease Term shall not be disturbed if Tenant
pays the Rent and performs all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and is
not otherwise in default, in which case Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of
or successor to Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises and recognize the
transferee or successor as Landlord under this Lease, and further providing that
such lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee shall at all times recognize Tenant's
rights under this Lease, including making insurance and condemnation proceeds
available to Landlord and/or Tenant for reconstruction or repair of the Demised
Premises after a casualty or condemnation so long as this Lease is not
terminated by Landlord or Tenant as provided in Articles 8 or 9 hereof. If any
ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease superior to
the lien of its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage and gives Tenant written
notice thereof, this Lease shall be deemed superior to the ground lease, deed of
trust or mortgage whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of
the ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof.

13.02. SIGNING OF DOCUMENTS. Tenant shall sign and deliver any reasonable
instruments or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence any attornment or
subordination or any agreement to attorn or subordinate.

13.03. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

     A. Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to
Landlord a written statement certifying (to the extent accurate); (1) whether
Tenant is an assignee or subtenant; (2) the expiration date of the Lease; (3)
the number of renewal options under the lease and the total period of time
covered by the renewal option(s); (4) that none of the terms or provisions of
the Lease have been changed since the original execution of the Lease, except as
shown on attached amendments or modifications; (5) that no default by Landlord
exists under the terms of the Lease (or if Landlord is claimed to be in default,
stating why); (6) that the Tenant has no claim against the landlord under the
Lease and has no defense or right of offset against collection of rent or other
charges accruing under the Lease; (7) the amount and date of the last payment of
Rent; (8) the amount of any security deposits and other deposits, if any; and
(9) the identity and address of any guarantor of the lease. Tenant shall deliver
the statement to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord's request.
Landlord may forward any such statement to any prospective purchaser or lender
of the Demised Premises. The purchaser or lender may rely conclusively upon the
statement as true and correct.

     B. If Tenant does not deliver the written statement to Landlord within the
twenty (20) day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or lender, may
conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (1) that the terms and
provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented
by Landlord; (2) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated except as
otherwise represented by Landlord; (3) that not more than one monthly
installment of Base Rent and other charges have been paid in advance; (4) there
are no claims against Landlord nor any defenses or rights of offset against
collection of Rent or other charges; and (5) that Landlord is not in default
under this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth
of the presumed facts.

13.04. TENANT'S FINANCIAL CONDITION. Within ten (10) days after written request
from Landlord and no more frequently than once every twelve months, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord financial statements as are reasonably required by Landlord
in Tenant's possession to verify the net worth of Tenant, or any assignee,
subtenant, or guarantor of Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall deliver to any
lender designated by Landlord any financial statements required by the lender to
facilitate the financing or refinancing of the Demised Premises. All financial
statements shall be confidential and shall be used only for the purposes set
forth in this lease.


                                                                          Page 9
<PAGE>   20
ARTICLE FOURTEEN: ENVIRONMENTAL REPRESENTATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

14.01     Tenant's Compliance with Environmental Laws. Tenant, at Tenant's
expense, shall comply with all laws, rules, orders, ordinances, directions,
regulations and requirements of Federal, State, county and municipal authorities
pertaining to Tenant's use of the Property, and with the recorded covenants,
conditions and restrictions, regardless of when they become effective, including
without limitation, all applicable Federal, State and local laws, regulations or
ordinances pertaining to air and water quality. Hazardous Materials (as defined
in Section 14.05), waste disposal, air emissions and other environmental
matters, all zoning and other land use matters, and with any direction of any
public officer or officers, pursuant to law, which impose any duty upon Landlord
or Tenant with respect to the use or occupancy of the Property.

14.02     Tenant's Indemnification. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on
the Property caused or permitted by Tenant results in contamination of the
Property or any other property, or if contamination of the Property or any other
property by Hazardous Materials otherwise occurs for which Tenant is legally
liable to Landlord for damage resulting therefrom, then Tenant shall indemnify,
defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, judgements, damages,
penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses (including, without limitation,
diminution in value of the Property, damages for the loss or restriction on use
of rentable or unusable space or of any amenity or appurtenance of the Property,
damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of building space or land
area, sums paid in settlement of claims, reasonable attorneys' fees, court
costs, consultant fees and expert fees) which arise during or after the Lease
Term as a result of the contamination. This indemnification of Landlord by
Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any
investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial work, removal or
restoration work required by any Federal, State or local government agency
because of Hazardous Materials present in the soil or ground water on or under
the Property. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous
Materials on the Property (or any other property) caused or permitted by Tenant
results in any contamination of the Property, Tenant shall promptly take all
actions at Tenant's sole expense as are necessary to return the Property to the
condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Materials,
provided that Landlord's approval of such actions is first obtained. The
foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

14.05     Definition. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Hazardous
Materials" means any one or more pollutant, toxic substance, hazardous waste,
hazardous material, hazardous substance, solvent or oil as defined in or
pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as
amended, the Federal Clean Water Act, as amended, or any other Federal, State
or local environmental law, regulation, ordinance, or rule, whether existing as
of the date of this Lease or subsequently enacted.

14.06     Survival. The representations and indemnities contained in this
Article 14 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.


                                                                         Page 10

<PAGE>   21
ARTICLE SIXTEEN: MISCELLANEOUS

16.01.    Disclosure. Landlord and Tenant understand that a real estate broker
is qualified to advise on matters concerning real estate and is not expert in
matters of law, tax, financing, surveying, hazardous materials, engineering,
construction, safety, zoning, land planning, architecture or the ADA. The
Brokers hereby advise Tenant to seek expert assistance on such matters. Brokers
do not investigate a property's compliance with building codes, governmental
ordinances, statutes and laws that relate to the use or condition of a property
and its construction, or that relate to its acquisition. If Brokers provide
names of consultants or sources for advice or assistance, Tenant acknowledges
that the Brokers do not warrant the services of the advisors or their products
and cannot warrant the suitability of property to be acquired or leased.
Furthermore, the Brokers do not warrant that the Landlord will disclose any or
all property defects, although the Brokers will disclose to Tenant any actual
knowledge possessed by Brokers regarding defects of the Demised Premises and
the Property. In this regard, Tenant agrees to make all necessary and
appropriate inquiries and to use diligence in investigating the Demised
Premises and the Property before consummating this Lease. Landlord and Tenant
hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the Brokers harmless of and from
any and all liabilities, claims, debts, damages, costs, or expenses, including
but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, related to or
arising out of or in any way connected to representations concerning matters
properly the subject of advice by experts. In addition, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, the Brokers' liability for errors or omissions, negligence,
or otherwise, is limited to the return of the Fee, if any, paid to the Brokers
pursuant to this Lease.


                                                                         Page 11

<PAGE>   22
16.02.  FORCE MAJEURE.  If performance by Landlord or Tenant of any term,

                                                                         Page 12

5.03      Liability Insurance. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain, at
          Tenant's expense, comprehensive general liability insurance (including
          personal injury liability, premises/operation, property damage,
          independent contractors and broad form contractual in support of the
          indemnifications of Landlord by Tenant under this Lease), business
          interruption insurance, contractual liability insurance, worker's
          compensation and employer's liability insurance and comprehensive
          catastrophe liability, all maintained with companies, on forms and in
          such amounts as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require
          and endorsed to include Landlord as an additional insured, with the
          premiums being fully paid on or before the due dates, insuring
          Landlord against liability arising out of the ownership, use,
          occupancy, or maintenance of the Demised Premises. The initial amounts
          of the insurance must be at least $1,000,000 for Each Occurrence,
          $2,000,000 General Aggregate per policy year, $100,000 Property Damage
          for the Demised Premises, and $10,000 Medical Expense; plus a
          $5,000,000 commercial general liability umbrella; and shall be subject
          to periodic increases based upon economic factors as Landlord may
          determine, in Landlord's discretion, exercised in good faith. However,
          the amounts of the insurance shall not limit Tenant's liability nor
          relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease. The policies must
          contain cross-liability endorsements, if applicable, and must insure
          Tenant's performance of the indemnity provisions of Section 5.04. The
          policies must contain a provision which prohibits cancellation or
          modification of the policy except upon thirty (30) days' prior written
          notice to Landlord. Tenant shall deliver a copy of the policy or
          certificate (or a renewal) to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date
          and prior to the expiration of the policy during the Lease Term. If
          Tenant fails to maintain the policy, Landlord may elect to maintain
          the insurance at Tenant's expense, which Tenant shall reimburse to
          Landlord upon demand. Tenant may, at Tenant's expense, maintain other
          liability insurance as Tenant deems necessary.

The rental rate shall increase at 2% as follows:

1, 2001   $367,738.56    ($30,644.88 per month)
1, 2002   $375,093.33    ($31,257.78 per month)

               NORTH TEXAS COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS(R)

                              ADDENDUM B TO LEASE

                                RENEWAL OPTIONS

Demised Premises/Address: 10365 Sanden Drive, Dallas, Dallas County, Texas

A. OPTION TO EXTEND TERM. Landlord grants to Tenant two (2) option(s) (the
"Option") to extend the Lease Term for an additional term of five (5) years
each (the "Extension"), on the same terms, conditions and covenants set forth
in this Lease, except as provided below. Each Option may be exercised only by
written notice delivered to the Landlord no later than one hundred eighty (180)
days before, the expiration of the Lease Term or the preceding Extension of the
Lease Term, whichever is applicable. If Tenant fails to deliver Landlord
written notice of the exercise of an Option within the prescribed time period,
such Option and any succeeding Options shall lapse, and there shall be no
further right to extend the Lease Term. Each Option may only be exercised by
Tenant on the express condition that, at the time of the exercise, Tenant is
not in default under any of the provisions of this Lease. The foregoing Options
are personal to Tenant and may not be exercised by an assignee or subtenant
without Landlord's written consent.

B. CALCULATION OF RENT. The Base Rent during the Extension(s) shall be
determined by one of the following methods [check one]:

[ ] 1. Consumer Price Index Adjustment. The monthly Base Rent during the
Extension shall be determined by multiplying the monthly installment of Base
Rent during the last month of the Lease Term by a fraction determined as
follows:

       a. The numerator shall be the Latest Index which means either [check
          one]:
          [ ] (1) the Index published for the nearest calendar month preceding
                  the first day of the Extension, or
          [ ] (2) the Index for the month of _______________ preceding the
                  Extension.
       b. The denominator shall be the Initial Index which means either [check
          one]:
          [ ] (1) the Index published for the nearest calendar month preceding
                  the Commencement Date, or
          [ ] (2) the Index for the month of _________________ preceding the
                  Commencement Date.
[If no blanks are filled in above, the choice (1) including the phrase, "the
nearest calendar month preceding," shall apply.]
       c. The Index means the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers
(All Items) U.S. City Average (unless this box is checked [ ] in which case the
CPI for the Dallas/Fort Worth Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area shall
be used) published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
(Base Index of 1982-84 = 100). If the Index is discontinued or revised, the new
index or computation which replaces the Index shall be used in order to obtain
substantially the same result as would have been obtained if it had not been
discontinued or revised. If such computation would reduce the Rent for the
particular Extension, it shall be disregarded, and the Rent during the
immediately preceding period shall apply instead.

[ ] 2. FAIR MARKET RENTAL VALUE. The Base Rent during the Extension shall be
the Fair market Rental determined as follows:
       a. The "Fair Market Rental" of the Demised Premises means the price that
a ready and willing tenant would pay as of the commencement of the Extension as
monthly rent to a ready and willing landlord of demised premises comparable to
the Demised Premises if the property were exposed for lease on the open market
for a reasonable period of time, and taking into account the term of the
Extension, the amount of improvements made by Tenant at its expense, the
creditworthiness of the Tenant, and all of the purposes for which the property
may be used and not just the use proposed to be made of the Demised Premises by
Tenant. Upon proper written notice by Tenant to Landlord of Tenant's election
to exercise the renewal Option, Landlord shall within fifteen (15) days
thereafter notify Tenant in writing of Landlord's proposed Fair Market Rental
amount and Tenant shall thereupon notify Landlord of Tenant's acceptance or
rejection of Landlord's proposed amount. Failure of Tenant to reject Landlord's
Fair Market Rental amount within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's
notice shall be deemed Tenant's acceptance of Landlord's proposed Fair Market
Rental amount.
       b. If Landlord and Tenant have not been able to agree on the Fair Market
Rental amount prior to the date the option is required to be exercised, the
rent for the Extension shall be determined as follows: Within thirty (30) days
following the exercise of the option, Landlord and Tenant shall endeavor in
good faith to agree upon a single Appraiser (defined below). If Landlord and
Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Appraiser within the thirty day
period, each shall then appoint one Appraiser by written notice to the other,
given within ten (10) days after the thirty day period. Within ten (10) days
after the two Appraisers are appointed, the two Appraisers shall appoint a
third Appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint its Appraiser
within the prescribed time period the single Appraiser appointed shall
determine the Fair Market Rental amount of the Demised Premises. Each party
shall bear the cost of the appraiser appointed by it and the parties shall
share equally the cost of the third appraiser. The term "Appraiser" means a
State Certified Real Estate Appraiser licensed by the State of Texas to value
commercial property.
       c. The Fair Market Rental Value of the Demised Premises shall be the
average of two of the three appraisals which are closest in amount as described
below, and the third appraisal shall be disregarded. In no event shall the Rent
be reduced by reason of such computation. If the Fair Market Rental is not
determined prior to the commencement of the Extension, then Tenant shall
continue to pay to Landlord the Rent applicable to the Demised Premises
immediately prior to the Extension until the Fair Market Rental amount is
determined, and when it is determined, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten
(10) days after receipt of such notice the difference between the Rent actually
paid by Tenant to Landlord and the new Rent determined under this Lease.

[ ] C. FIXED RENTAL ADJUSTMENTS. The monthly Base Rent shall be increased
       beginning on the following dates to these amounts:
       Date: 1, 2012         Amount: Fair market value with 2% annual increases.
            ----------------         -------------------------------------------
       Date: 1, 2017         Amount: Fair market value with 2% annual increases.
            ----------------         -------------------------------------------
       Date:                 Amount:
            ----------------         -------------------------------------------
       Date:                 Amount:
            ----------------         -------------------------------------------



                                                                         Page 14
