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

     Except for the negligence of Lessor or Lessor's Agents, and to the
extent permitted by law, Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Lessor and Lessor's Agents from and against any and all losses, liabilities,

Center and arising from the Use and occupancy of the Space or from any
activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Lessee or Lessee's
Agents due to any other act or omission of Lessee or Lessee's Agents in or
about the Space.  The furnishing of insurance required hereunder shall not be
deemed to limit Lessee's obligations under this Section 11.

                                12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
                                    -----------------

     Each of the following events shall be an event of default ("Event of
Default") by Lessee under this Lease:


     (i) Lessee shall fail to pay any installment of Rent or any other
payment required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a
period of 10 days after written notice of such default provided to Lessee by
Lessor.  Notification by means of certified United States Postal Service from
Lessor to Lessee at the address included in this shall constitute official
notification;

     (ii) Lessee shall (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have
an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it a
bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking
appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for
it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a
"proceeding for relief"); (C) become the subject of any proceeding for relief
which is not dismissed within 60 days of its filing or entry; or (D) be
dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence;

<PAGE>

     (iii) Any insurance required to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to this
Lease shall be canceled or terminated or shall expire or shall be materially
reduced or changed, except, in each case, as permitted in this Lease;

     (iv) Lessee shall not occupy or shall vacate the Space or shall fail to
continuously operate its business at the Space for the Use during the Term or
any applicable Renewal Term, whether or not Lessee is in monetary or other
default under this Lease; or

     (v) Lessee shall fail to materially comply with any provision of this
Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Section 12, and
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such default shall continue
for more than 30 days after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of
such default.

                              13. REMEDIES OF LESSOR
                                  ------------------

     Upon each occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor shall have all
remedies allowed by law including the right to terminate this Lease and
retake possession of the Space.  Upon the termination of this Lease, it shall
be lawful for Lessor to re-enter the Space by summary dispossession
proceedings or any other action or proceeding authorized by law and to remove
Lessee and all persons and property therefrom.

     Upon termination of this Lease, Lessor may recover from Lessee the sum
of all Rent and all other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of such
termination, and the cost of reletting the whole or any part of the Space.

                             14. REMEDIES OF LESSEE
                                 ------------------

     In the event of a default under the terms, covenants or conditions of
this Lease on the part of the Lessor, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing
of said default and Lessor shall have 30 days to cure or commence to cure
said default; provided that if the nature of the default is such that it
cannot be reasonably cured within said 30 days, Lessor shall not be deemed to
be in default if it shall commence performance within said 30 day period and
diligently proceeds to so cure the default thereafter.  If Lessor shall not
cure or commence to cure the said default within the 30 day period, Lessee
has the option to either terminate this Lease and vacate the Space
immediately without any further liability under the Lease and take whatever
other lawful remedies that may be available to it upon such default, or cure
the default and at Lessee's option deduct reasonable costs and expenses for
such cure from Rent or any other amounts accrued hereunder due, or otherwise
be immediately reimbursed by Lessor.

     Should there be a need to make any emergency repairs which were
otherwise the responsibility of the Lessor as provided in this Lease, but due
to the emergent circumstances, Lessee makes such repairs, the cost thereof
shall be a deduction from the Rent accruing for the month following the date
of such repair.  Where practicable, such emergency repairs shall be approved
by Lessor in advance.  However, should prior approval not be practicable,
Lessee shall be authorized to proceed with said repairs immediately but shall
advise Lessor as soon as possible that such repairs have been undertaken and
the nature and extent of same.

                                  15. INSURANCE
                                      ---------

     (i) Lessee, at its cost, shall maintain a policy of Combined Single
Limit Bodily Injury and Property Damage Insurance during the Term and any
Renewal Term, such insurance to provide protection in the amount of One
Million ($1,000,000) Dollars combined single limit, insuring Lessor and
Lessee against any liability arising out of and in connection with Lessee's
Use or occupancy of the Space.

     (ii) Lessor shall obtain and maintain insurance covering the Center and
the Space, primarily a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury and
Property Damage Insurance insuring against any liability arising out of the
ownership or maintenance of the Center and all areas appurtenant thereto in
an amount not less than combined single limit of One Million ($1,000,000)
Dollars.  Lessor should also obtain and maintain a policy or policies of
insurance covering loss or damage to the Center, providing protection against
all perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage,
vandalism, malicious mischief, flood (in the event such is required by a
lender having a lien on the Center), and special extended perils ("all risk"
as such term is used in the insurance industry).

     (iii) Lessee and Lessor each hereby release and relieve the other (which
includes the other party's employees, agents, officers, directors and
shareholders) from any liability, whether for negligence or otherwise, in
connection with loss covered by any insurance policies which the releasor
carries with respect to the Space or any interest or property therein or
thereon, but only to the extent that such loss is collected under said
insurance policies. Such release is also conditioned upon the inclusion in
the policy of a provision whereby any such release does not adversely affect
such policy or prejudice any right of the releasor to recover thereunder.

                      16. ASSIGNING OR SUBLETTING BY LESSEE
                          ---------------------------------

     Lessee shall have the privilege of assigning or subletting the Space,
provided such assignee or sublessee has an equivalent financial condition as
Lessee and does not have an adverse reputation, only upon first obtaining
written consent of Lessor, such consent to be reasonable.  Consent to one
assignment or subletting by Lessor shall not be deemed consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting.

                             17. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
                                 --------------------

injuries, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of any
settlement or judgment and claims of any and every kind whatsoever paid,
incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, Lessor by any person or entity
or governmental agency for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect
result of the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage,
spillage, discharge, emission, discharging or release from the Space of any
Hazardous Substance (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities,
including strict liability, damages, injuries, expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs of any settlement or judgment or claims asserted or
arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act, any so-called federal, state or local "Superfund,"
"Superlien," law, statute, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order or decree
regulating with respect to or imposing liability, including strict liability,
substances or standards or conduct concerning any Hazardous Substance), only
if and to the extent Lessee created the Hazardous Substances situation.

<PAGE>

     For purposes of this instrument, "Hazardous Substances" shall mean and
include those elements or compounds which are contained in the list of
hazardous substances adopted by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the list of toxic pollutants designated by Congress or the
EPA or defined by any other federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance,
code, rule, regulation, order or decree regulating relating to, or imposing
liability or standards of conduct concerning, any hazardous, toxic or
dangerous waste, substance or material as now or at any time hereunder in
effect.

     If Lessee receives any notice of: (i) the happening of any material
event involving the spill, release, leak, seepage, discharge or cleanup of
any Hazardous Substance on the land on which the Center is located, or in
connection with Lessee's operations thereon, or (ii) any complaint, order,
citation or any other environmental, health or safety matter affecting Lessee
(the "Environmental Complaint") from any person or entity (including without
limitation the EPA), then Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor orally and
in writing of said notice.

     Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, and without
limitation of Lessor's rights under this Lease to enter the Space or to take
such other actions as it deems necessary or advisable to clean up, remove,
resolve or minimize the impact of, or otherwise deal with any such Hazardous
Substance or Environmental Complaint following receipt of any notice from any
person or entity (including without limitation the EPA) asserting the
existence of any Hazardous Substance or an Environmental Complaint pertaining
to the Space or any part thereof, which, if true, could result in an order,
suit or other action against Lessee or Lessor.  All reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Lessor in the exercise of any such rights in cleaning up
a situation of Hazardous Substances created by the Lessee shall be payable by
Lessee upon demand.

     This Section 17 shall survive for one (1) year the full performance and
expiration of this Lease, and shall inure to the benefit of any transferee of
title to the Center.

                                   18. QUIET ENJOYMENT
