         2.1 Initial Term. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from
Landlord the Leased Premises for the Term plus any partial month if this Lease
is dated other than the first of any month, to commence on the Commencement Date
and to expire on the Termination Date or on such other date as may be provided

unless at least one counterpart has been fully executed by Tenant and delivered
to Landlord and at least one counterpart has been fully executed by Landlord and
delivered to Tenant.

         2.2 Option Period. Provided that the Lease has not been terminated for
Tenant's default and that Tenant is not then in default beyond any applicable
grace or notice period, then Tenant at its option, exercised by written notice
to the

<PAGE>   7
Landlord not less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of
the then-current term, may extend the Term for the number and length of
immediately successive period(s) specified in Section 1 under the same terms and
conditions herein set forth, except that the Base Rental rate shall be adjusted
to reflect the then fair market rental rate as of the date for the expiration of
the then-current term. However, in no event shall the Base Rental rate for the
option period be less that the Base Rental rate for the last year of the
original Term. In the event that Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon
the Base Rental rate for the Option Period within thirty (30) days following
Landlord's receipt of Tenant's election to exercise the option to extend, the
fair market rental rate shall be determined by a board of three (3) licensed
real estate brokers, one of whom shall be named by Landlord, one of whom shall
be named by Tenant, and the two (2) appointed shall select the third. Each real
estate broker so selected shall be licensed in the jurisdiction in which the
Building is located as a real estate broker specializing in the field of
commercial leasing, having no less than ten years' experience in such field, and
recognized as ethical and reputable within the field. Landlord and Tenant agree
to make their appointments promptly within ten (10) days following the
expiration of the thirty (30) day period. The two (2) brokers selected by
Landlord and Tenant respectively shall select a third broker within ten (10)
days after they both have been appointed, and each broker, within fifteen (15)
days following the date the third broker is selected, shall submit his or her
determination of the fair market rental rate. The fair market rental rate shall
be the mean of the two (2) closest rental rate determinations. Landlord and
Tenant shall each pay the fee of the broker selected by it, and they shall
equally share the payment of the fee of the third broker.

   3. COMMENCEMENT DATES. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date. The
Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent shall begin on the Rent Commencement Date.
The Tenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent shall begin on the Additional
Rent Commencement Date.

   4. USE. The Tenant shall use the Leased Premises only for the Permitted Use.
The use of the Leased Premises by Tenant, however, is expressly subject to all
applicable zoning ordinances and rules and regulations of any governmental
authority, instrumentality, board or bureau having jurisdiction over the Leased
Premises, and the reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord for the
Property from time to time. In no event shall the reasonable rules and
regulations adopted by Landlord in any way limit the permitted use and such
rules and regulations shall be enforced even handedly as between all tenants in
the Building.

   5. LANDLORD DELIVERY AND IMPROVEMENT OF PREMISES. Landlord hereby covenants
and agrees to deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant on the
Commencement Date. Landlord shall complete Landlord's Work including without
limitation, repairs to any and all structural non-structural elements and the
interior of the Premises, together with all electrical, plumbing and other
mechanical installations therein, to insure that such elements are in good order
and repair prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord represents and warrants
that, as of the Commencement Date the Building and the Leased Premises are in
compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances
directives and codes.

   6. BASE RENT.

         6.1 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord Base Rent during the Term. Equal
monthly installments of Base Rent shall be made promptly in advance on the first
day of each and every month during the Term beginning on the Rent Commencement
Date, including extensions if applicable without demand and, except as expressly
provided herein, without offset or deduction, together with such Additional Rent
(payable beginning on the Additional Rent Commencement Date) and other charges
required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. Payment of Base Rent and
Additional Rent shall be made at the office of Landlord at the address first set
forth above, or to such other party and at such other place as may be
specifically required by this Lease or as Landlord may designate in writing from
time to time.

         6.2 No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than
the Base Rent or Additional Rent stipulated in this lease shall be deemed to be
other


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or
statement on any check or payment, or any writing accompanying the check or
payment of such rent, be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this lease provided.

   7. ADDITIONAL RENT.

         7.1 Payment of Additional Rent. "Additional Rent" payable by Tenant
shall include Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the costs, assessments and expenses
listed in this Section, in addition to other charges defined in this Lease as
Additional Rent.

         7.2 Contribution to Taxes. Tenant will pay to Landlord, Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of all real estate taxes, betterments and assessments ("Taxes")
charged against the Building and the Property, or any taxes assessed in lieu
thereof, each year of the Term or any extension or renewal thereof and
proportionately for any part of a fiscal year. This contribution to Taxes shall
be pro-rated should this Lease be in effect with respect to only a portion of
any fiscal tax year. If Landlord obtains an abatement of any such excess Taxes,
such abatement shall be refunded to Tenant. Furthermore, Tenant, at its sole
cost and expense, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to institute
proceedings to reduce the assessed value of the Premises or any other protest or
tax refund proceeding. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant in connection
therewith, and to execute and deliver, in Tenant's or Landlord's name, any
documents or papers reasonably required to prosecute such proceeding. Tenant
shall keep Landlord informed with respect to the status of such proceedings. For
any refund received by Landlord or Tenant as a result of a favorable ruling from
an appeal initiated by Tenant of a tax assessment for any fiscal tax year for
which Tenant paid Taxes, Tenant shall be entitled to one hundred percent (100%)
of such refund.

         7.3 Contribution to Operating Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Operating Costs of the Building and the Property
during the Term of this Lease, including any extension and renewal periods. For
the purposes of this Lease, "Operating Costs" shall include all costs and
expenses for the following services as they relate to the common areas of the
Property and the Building, if and to the extent provided by Landlord:

       operating, equipping , controlling traffic, policing, lighting, cleaning,
       maintaining, repairing, and restoring the common areas of the Property,
       including all utility lines, pipes and conduits, and drainage, septic and
       sewage systems serving the Property; repairing and maintaining the
       heating and air conditioning system servicing the Property, sweeping,
       snow plowing, sanding, refuse removal and wages, unemployment taxes,
       social security taxes and workmen's compensation insurance premiums for
       employees directly involved in the Building's maintenance and management,
       fees for required licenses and permits, and supplies.

To the extent that Tenant contracts directly for such services, the cost for
such services shall not be included in the definition of Operating Costs.
Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
7.3, Operating Costs shall not include: any expenses for which Landlord actually
receives reimbursement from insurance, condemnation awards, other tenants or any
other source; costs incurred to correct defects in the initial design or
construction of the base Building and Building systems; costs of a capital
nature, including but not limited to, capital improvements, capital repairs, and
the purchase or leasing of capital equipment and capital tools; any fines or
penalties incurred in connection due to violations by Landlord of any applicable
governmental rule, law or regulation not occasioned by Tenant or any of its
employees or agents; amounts paid to any person, firm, or corporation related to
or otherwise affiliated with Landlord which are in excess of arm's-length
competitive prices paid in Lawrence, Massachusetts, for the services or goods
provided; payments of principal or interest on any mortgages or ground leases ;
leasing commissions; and costs incurred to correct defects in the initial design
and construction of the Building and Building systems, or any taxes including
without limitation income, excise or franchise taxes assessed against Landlord
which are not connected to Tenant's use of the Premises, Landlord's legal


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
fees incurred in connection with leasing or enforcement of other leases in the
Building and any service provided to a tenant on the Property which is not
offered to other tenants and cost of Landlord's Work.

         7.4 Contribution to Insurance. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's
Pro Rata Share of insurance costs, which shall include all premiums for
commercial (comprehensive) general public liability, property damage, casualty,
rent loss, and other insurance maintained by Landlord with respect to the
Building and Property in accordance with Section 9.3 below.

         7.5 Share of Additional Rent. Landlord shall reasonably estimate
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of annual Additional Rent for Operating Costs, Insurance
and Taxes for each calendar year during the Term and Tenant shall pay with each
monthly installment of Base Rent, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to
one-twelfth of the total of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of such annual Additional
Rent for Operating Costs, Insurance and Taxes. Landlord's estimate of the
initial Additional Rent payments are stated in Section 1 of this Lease. Landlord
may adjust the estimate from time to time during each calendar year as Landlord
receives actual bills or receives information of costs incurred or to be
incurred. If total payments made by Tenant based on the estimate exceed actual
Additional Rent as finally determined for the calendar year in question, then
any overpayment shall be returned to the Tenant within thirty (30) days. If
total payments based on the estimates are less than the actual amount of
Tenant's Pro Rata Share, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the full amount of
the deficiency within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from
Landlord of the amount of such deficiency. Upon Tenant's request (which may be
exercised no more than once per calendar year), Landlord shall provide Tenant
with copies of the major invoices for charges included in Additional Rent for
Operating Costs, Insurance and Taxes for the immediately preceding calendar
year. If Tenant believes that any payments for Operating Costs were made that
are not permitted pursuant to this Section 7 or were made in error, due to
calculation or otherwise, then Tenant may provide Landlord with written notice
of its objections to or inquiries about such charges. If Landlord is unable to
satisfy Tenant's inquiries or if Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve
Tenant's objections and agree upon the charges in question within thirty (30)
days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice, Tenant shall have the right to
employ a certified public accountant to inspect and/or audit Landlord's books
records relating to the calculation of Operating Costs. If Tenant so elects to
employ such accountant, Tenant shall provide not less than ten (10) days' notice
to Landlord of the date upon which the accountant desires to examine Landlord's
books and records. Landlord shall make the relevant books and records available
to such accountant at a mutually agreeable location in the Town of Methuen.
Tenant's accountant shall deliver a written report of such audit to Landlord and
Tenant within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the accountant's
examination. Landlord's accountant and Tenant's accountant shall attempt to
reconcile their differences within thirty (30) days thereafter and shall provide
notice of such reconciliation to Landlord and Tenant. Upon final determination
thereof, if it is determined that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord for
Operating Costs exceeded the amounts to which Landlord was entitled hereunder,
Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess payments against payments of
estimated Operating Costs next becoming due and payable hereunder after the date
Landlord receives notice of final determination of the error; provided, however,
if the Term shall have expired or been terminated, Landlord shall refund such
excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice of the
final determination. If it is determined that the amounts paid by Tenant to
Landlord for Operating Costs were less than the amounts to which Landlord was
entitled hereunder, Tenant shall pay the amount of such shortfall to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice of the final determination.
Each party shall bear their own respective costs and expenses related to such
audit.

         7.6 Cap on Operating Costs. The actual or estimated Operating Costs,
Insurance and Taxes for the calendar year containing the Commencement Date are
stated in Exhibit E. Landlord agrees that the subsequent annual estimate of
Operating Costs, shall not increase by more than three percent (3%) over the
then prior year's actual Operating Costs.

                                       9
<PAGE>   10
         7.7 Increase in Taxes. In addition to Tenant's contribution to Taxes,
Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent all increases in Taxes attributed to
additions and improvements to the Leased Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant
(exclusive of building standard improvements provided by Landlord at Landlord's
expense). This element of Additional Rent may be included in Tenant's monthly
installments of Additional Rent or, at Landlord's option, separately billed to
Tenant by written notice to Tenant, in which case Tenant shall pay the billed
amount within thirty (30) days of notice.

         7.8 Increase in Insurance. The Tenant shall not use or occupy the
Leased Premises or any part thereof or suffer or permit the same to be used or
occupied for any business or purpose deemed extra hazardous on account of fire
or otherwise, and if by reason of the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises,
the rate of fire insurance on the Building shall be increased, the Tenant will,
on demand, pay to the Landlord the amount of such increase.

   8. CHANGE IN SCOPE OF TAXATION.

         8.1 If during the Term the method or scope of taxation prevailing on
the date of last execution of this Lease shall be altered, modified or enlarged
so as to cause the method of taxation to be changed, in whole or in part, so
that in substitution for the real estate taxes now assessed there may be, in
whole or in part, a capital levy or other imposition based on the value of the
Leased Premises, or the rents received, or some other form of assessment based
in whole or in part on some other valuation of the Property, then and in such

         In addition, Tenant shall replace in the Leased Premises all glass,

<PAGE>   12
   12. REQUIREMENTS OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES. Tenant and Landlord shall suffer no
waste or injury in or about the Leased Premises and shall comply with all
federal, state, county and municipal laws, ordinances and regulations applicable
to the structure, use and occupancy of the Leased Premises. In addition, Tenant
and Landlord respectively shall effect the correction, prevention and abatement
of violations or other grievances in, upon or connected with the Leased Premises
or the building, as applicable and shall also promptly comply with all rules,
orders and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters.

   13. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE. During reasonable business hours, upon at least
twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice (except in case of emergency) and when
accompanied by a representative of Tenant, Landlord and its agents and workmen
shall have the right to enter into and upon the Leased Premises at all
reasonable times for the purpose of inspection and examination of the state of
repair and condition thereof. In case of an emergency Landlord shall contact The
Emergency Contact.

       If Tenant fails to maintain the Leased Premises as required herein or
make any required repairs after reasonable notice (or prior to notice in case of
emergency), Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such repairs as
shall be necessary as a consequence of any failure of Tenant to meet its
obligations under this Lease. The making of any such repairs by Landlord shall
not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any right or remedy provided by this
lease upon Tenant's default in the making of such repairs.

   14. DESTRUCTION. If the Leased Premises or the Building, at any time during
the term, are damaged in whole or in part by fire, flood, tornado or by the
elements, or by Act of God, or by the public enemy or otherwise, Tenant shall
give prompt written notice to Landlord.

       If the Leased Premises or the Building are substantially damaged, then
this Lease and the Term, at the election of the Landlord, shall either terminate
or if Landlord shall elect to rebuild and restore the Building, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant of its
election within thirty (30) days following Tenant's notice or Landlord's
discovery of such damage. Upon its election to restore, if Landlord can not
reasonably expect to complete restoration within ninety (90) days following the
expiration of Landlord's thirty (30) day period to notify Tenant of its election
to resolve, then Landlord shall so notify Tenant, and Tenant shall have the
right to terminate this Lease. Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges
payable under the Lease shall be equitably abated during the period of
Landlord's restoration or repair.

       If the Leased Premises or the Building are damaged but not substantially
damaged, or if Landlord elects to restore the Building after substantial damage,
Landlord shall repair the damage and restore the Leased Premises to
substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the damage with
reasonable dispatch but no such restoration or repair shall in any event be
completed later than one hundred twenty (120) days following Tenant's notice or
Landlord's discovery of damage. In the event Landlord is unable to complete said
restoration or repair within said one hundred twenty (120) days Tenant shall
have the right to terminate this Lease. However, Landlord's obligation to
restore does not include restoring leasehold improvements or Tenant's fixtures,
equipment and property.

       If Landlord gives Tenant a termination notice, this Lease and the Term
shall terminate on the date specified in the termination notice, with the same
effect as though that date were the scheduled Termination Date, and Base Rent,
Additional Rent and other charges payable under this Lease shall be apportioned
and paid up to the date of the damage, and any prepaid unearned rent or other
charges shall forthwith be repaid by Landlord to Tenant. If Tenant gives
Landlord a termination notice this Lease shall terminate on the date specified
and any prepaid unearned rent or other charges, including without limitation the
security deposit shall forthwith be repaid by Landlord.

       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14, in
the event the Leased Premises is substantially damaged and Landlord should elect
to


                                       12
<PAGE>   13
terminate this Lease as provided herein, upon receipt of Landlord's written
notice of its election to terminate, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days following
receipt of such notice may, at its option, elect, by the giving of written
notice to Landlord, to continue this Lease and rebuild the Leased Premises to
substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the damage at
its sole cost and expense provided such repairs can be completed within ninety
(90) days following Tenant's notice to Landlord of such election. A
proportionate share of Base Rent, and Additional Rent and other charges payable
under the Lease shall be abated during the repair order period. Upon Landlord's
receipt of Tenant's notice to continue this Lease Landlord's notice of
termination shall be deemed null and void and Tenant shall be entitled to all
insurance proceeds received or to be received by Landlord on account of such
substantial damage.

       "Substantially damaged" for the purposes of this Section shall be defined
as damage to the Building in excess of fifty percent (50%) of either the
rentable floor area or the Building's replacement cost.

       Notwithstanding the foregoing, if insurance proceeds recovered shall be
insufficient to restore the Leased Premises in accordance with this Section, and
Landlord elects to rebuild, then Landlord promptly shall notify Tenant of the
estimated amount of such insufficiency. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving
Landlord's written notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, Tenant will notify
Landlord of Tenant's election either: (i) to pay such insufficiency to Landlord,
in which case, Landlord will rebuild; or (ii) not to pay such insufficiency, in
which case, unless Landlord elects to rebuild notwithstanding the insufficiency,
this Lease will terminate as of the date on which the damage or destruction
occurred, and rent and other charges will be apportioned and paid to that
termination date, and any prepaid unearned rent and other charges and security
deposit will be repaid to Tenant. Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of
rent for the period during which the Leased Premises are rendered untenantable
for the Permitted Use. If only a part of the Building is rendered untenantable
for the Permitted Use, the rent shall be reduced proportionately.

       If the Building is so damaged that it is necessary in Landlord's sole
discretion, to demolish the Building for restoration or reconstruction, Landlord
may demolish the Building, in which case rent shall be abated as though the
Building were substantially damaged.

   15. INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and save Landlord
harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including attorney's fees) in connection with loss of life, personal
injury and/or damage to property to the extent arising from or out of the
occupancy or use of the Leased Premises or any part thereof to the extent such
damage or loss is caused by any negligent act or omission or intentional
misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents or invitees.

       Landlord agrees to indemnify Tenant and save Tenant harmless from and
against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including attorney's fees) in connection with loss of life, personal injury
and/or damage to property to the extent arising from or out of the occupancy or
use of the Leased Premises or any part thereof to the extent such damage or loss
is caused by any negligent act or omission or intentional misconduct of
Landlord, its employees, agents or invitees.

   16. NON-LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or
injury which may be sustained by Tenant or any other person resulting from acts,
conduct or omissions on the part of Tenant or of Tenant's agents, employees,
guests, licensees, invitees, assignees or successors.

   17. ALTERATIONS. Except for that work specifically shown on Exhibit C
attached hereto and incorporated herein as Tenant's Work, Tenant covenants and
agrees that it will not make any improvements, changes, installations,
renovations, additions or alterations in and about the Leased Premises during
any twelve (12) month period in excess of any aggregate cost of $12,000.00
without the prior written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be
unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld.

                                       13
<PAGE>   14
Tenant covenants and agrees that it will not make any structural improvements,
changes, installations, renovations, additions or alterations in and about the
Leased Premises of any kind whatsoever, without first obtaining the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.

   18. TENANT'S SIGNS. Tenant may maintain the signs permitted in Section 1 and
in accordance with Exhibit D attached hereto. Tenant's signage shall comply with
all laws, ordinances and regulations of any governmental authority having
jurisdiction.

   19. ACCESS TO PREMISES. Upon twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice (except in
case of emergency) and when accompanied by a representative of Tenant, Tenant
shall permit Landlord or its agents to enter the Leased Premises to show the
Leased Premises to lenders, appraisers, and possible purchasers, and within nine
(9) months prior to the Termination Date to persons wishing to rent the Leased
Premises. Within six months (6) following the Termination Date, Tenant shall
permit the usual "To Let" and "For Sale" signs to be placed on the Leased
Premises and to remain thereon without hindrance or molestation.

   20. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Provided Tenant is not in default, Tenant
shall have the right to assign this Lease, or to sublet the whole or any part of
the Leased Premises to any parent company, subsidiary, affiliate or related
corporate entity, any entity resulting from the merger of consolidation of
Tenant, or any person or entity acquiring all or substantially all of Tenant's
assets, stock or other interests of Tenant, without Landlord's prior consent.
Tenant shall have the right to sublease or assign all or any portion of the
Leased Premises to unrelated entities, subject only to Landlord's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to provide written notice to
Landlord at least sixty days (60) prior to such assignment or sublet. Tenant
shall, at all times remain liable for full performance of each and every
covenant of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be performed.

   21. COVENANT AGAINST LIENS. Tenant agrees that it shall not encumber, or
suffer or permit to be encumbered, the Leased Premises or the fee thereof by any
lien, charge or encumbrance, and Tenant shall have no authority to mortgage or
hypothecate this Lease in any way whatsoever.

   22. SUBORDINATION. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times
to the lien the existing mortgages and of mortgages which hereafter may be made
a lien on the Leased Premises, provided that, so long as the Tenant is not in
default in the payment of Rent or Additional Rent or in the performance of any
of the material terms of the Lease beyond any notice or grace periods provided
herein, the Tenant's possession of the Leased Premises and the Tenant's rights
and privileges under the Lease shall not be diminished or interfered with by any
Mortgagee. Tenant agrees to execute any and all instruments reasonably required
to effect such subordination upon request of Landlord or any mortgagee in
interest.

       In the event that any mortgage is foreclosed for any reason and the
Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord under this lease, Tenant shall be
bound to the Mortgagee under all the terms of this Lease for the balance of the
Term thereof, with all the same force and effect as if the Mortgagee were the
Landlord under the Lease, and the Tenant hereby attorns to the Mortgagee as its
Landlord, such attornment to be effective and self-operative immediately
(without the necessity of the execution of any further instrument on the part of
either of the parties hereto) upon the Mortgagee succeeding to the interest of
the Landlord under the Lease. The respective rights and obligations of the
Tenant and the Mortgagee upon such attornment shall be, to the extent of the
then remaining balance of the term of the Lease, the same as now set forth
therein, it being the intention of the parties hereto for this purpose to
incorporate by reference this Lease into any such mortgage with the same force
and effect as is set forth at length herein.

       In the event that any mortgage is foreclosed for any reason and the
Mortgagee succeeds to the interest of Landlord under this lease, the Mortgagee
shall be bound to the Tenant under all the terms of this Lease for the balance
of the Term, and the Tenant shall, from and after such event, have the same
remedies against the Mortgagee for the breach of an agreement contained in the
Lease that the Tenant might have had


                                       14
<PAGE>   15
under the Lease against the prior Landlord hereunder. Subject to the provisions
elsewhere contained, in no event shall the Mortgagee be liable for any act or
omission of any prior Landlord of which it did not receive notice from Tenant,
be subject to any offsets or defenses which the Tenant may have against any
prior Landlord of which it did not receive notice from Tenant, or be bound by
any Rent or Additional Rent which the Tenant might have paid to any prior
Landlord for more than the current month which was not received by such
mortgagee including without limitation the security deposit.

       At Landlord's request, from time to time, Tenant agrees to execute and
deliver to Landlord estoppel certificates in a form which may be reasonably
required by Landlord or its mortgagee.

       The rights and obligations of the Tenant and the Mortgagee hereunder
shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
Upon request therefor, Landlord shall make its best efforts to provide Tenant
with a fully executed non-disturbance agreement from the Landlord's lender.

   23. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit the
Security Deposit with Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance
of this Lease by Tenant. Within thirty (30) days of termination of this Lease,
and providing Tenant is not in default hereunder and has performed all of the
covenants and conditions of this Lease, Landlord shall return the unused portion
of the Security Deposit to Tenant. Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not
assign, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber the aforementioned
security during the term of this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to
commingle the security deposit with its general funds and said security shall
not be required to be segregated, nor shall the security deposit bear interest.
Landlord shall have the right to apply said security to the payment or offset of
any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other expense resulting from a default by
Tenant or otherwise arising under this Lease, and in such event Landlord shall
give Tenant prior written notice of any application of said security and Tenant
shall forthwith restore the security fund to its original amount.

   24. CONDEMNATION.

         24.1 If the entire Leased Premises (or a material portion of the
parking area or reasonable access to the Leased Premises) is taken by eminent
domain, the amount awarded for compensation for the Leased Premises taken,
including all improvements, changes, additions and alterations made by Tenant,
shall be paid to Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to claim, prove and receive
in the condemnation proceeding such awards as may be allowed for fixtures and
other equipment installed and paid for by Tenant. Further, Landlord shall pay to
Tenant from Landlord's awards when fully received (if not separately awarded to
Tenant) an amount equal to the unamortized cost of tenant improvements paid for
by Tenant (calculated by multiplying the reasonable cost of tenant improvements
paid for by Tenant by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of expired
months in the initial term of this Lease at the time the Lease terminates
because of the taking, and the denominator of which is the total number of
months in the initial term; provided the amount so paid by Landlord to Tenant in
no event exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the reasonable cost of the tenant
improvements paid for by Tenant.) This Lease shall terminate as of the date
title to all of the Leased Premises shall vest in the taking body, and Landlord
and Tenant shall thereupon be released of and from all obligations and
liabilities to each other accruing under this Lease. Tenant shall pay all Base
Rent and Additional Rent accrued up to the termination, and if any rent has been
paid in advance, Landlord shall return the surplus together with the Security
Deposit.

         24.2 If a part of the Leased Premises or parking area (but less than
the entire Leased Premises or material portion of the parking area, and the part
remaining is reasonably adequate for the operation of Tenant's business) is
taken by eminent domain, then there shall be a reduction in the Base Rent in
relation to the fair rental value of that part of the Leased Premises so taken
as compared with the rental value for the entire Leased Premises, and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect for the balance of the term as if the
taking had not occurred. The amount awarded for compensation for the part of the
Leased Premises so taken shall be


                                       15
<PAGE>   16
paid to Landlord, and Tenant expressly grants to Landlord the entire amount of
the award or compensation, expressly disclaiming all right, title and interest
therein, and agrees that it shall have no claim for any damages or loss against
Landlord by reason of such condemnation or taking. Following such a partial
taking, Landlord or Tenant, at Landlord's election, shall restore the Leased
Premises as required to render the same reasonably adequate for the operation of
Tenant's business and if applicable Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its
reasonable costs, but only to the extent of available and proportional
compensation proceeds received by Landlord.

         24.3 In the event that a portion of the Leased Premises is so taken and
the remainder of the Leased Premises is not reasonably adequate for the
operation of Tenant's business, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate
this Lease (without penalty) as of the date of such taking by written notice to
the other party within thirty (30) days of formal notice of such taking and if
any rent has been paid in advance, Landlord shall return the surplus together
with the Security Deposit.

         24.4 If the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Leased
Premises shall be taken by eminent domain, or by agreement between Tenant and
those authorized to exercise such right, Tenant shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Landlord. In such event the term of this Lease shall not be reduced
or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay in full the Base Rent,
Additional Rent and other charges herein reserved without reduction or abatement
and Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself any award or payment made for
such use, provided, however, that in the event such period or temporary use
shall extend beyond the Termination Date, the award or payment shall be ratably
apportioned between Landlord and Tenant.

         24.5 The terms "condemnation", taking" or similar terms as herein used
shall mean the acquisition by a public or quasi-public authority having the
right to take the same by condemnation or eminent domain or otherwise,
regardless of whether such taking is the result of actual condemnation or of
voluntary conveyance by Landlord.

         24.6 Tenant agrees to execute and deliver any instruments as may be
deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord to expedite any condemnation proceeding
or to effectuate a property transfer of title to such governmental or other
public authority, agency, body or public utility seeking to take or acquire the
Leased Premises of any portion thereof.

   25. SURRENDER BY TENANT AT END OF TERM.

         25.1. Tenant shall surrender possession of the Leased Premises and
remove all goods and improvements and other personal property in the possession
of Tenant, by whomsoever owned, (collectively "Goods and Improvements") at the
end of the Term of this Lease, or at such other time as Landlord may be entitled
to re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to any provision
of this Lease.

         25.2 All improvements, additions, installations, renovations, changes
or alterations in the Leased Premises (except trade fixtures, furniture,
equipment and Tenant's Personal Property) shall remain in the Leased Premises
and be surrendered upon the expiration of the Term.

         25.3 Holding Over. If Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant shall
remain in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of
the term of this Lease without any agreement in writing between the Landlord and
Tenant with respect thereto, the person remaining in possession shall be deemed
a month-to-month tenant at a rental rate equal to one hundred and twenty-five
percent (125%) of the rent in effect upon the date of such expiration or
termination until the tenancy is terminated in a manner provided by law.

   26. DEFAULT BY TENANT.

         26.1 If before or during the term of this Lease there shall occur any
of the following events ("Events of Default"):

                                       16
<PAGE>   17
         (a) if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they
become due, or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated
insolvent, or shall file a petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any
present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file an answer admitting
or not contesting the material allegations of a petition against it in any such
proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any
trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or any material part of its assets; or

         (b) if there is an entry of an order for relief, or, in the absence of
an order for relief, if, within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any
proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or
future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been
dismissed, or if, within sixty (60) days after the appointment without the
consent or acquiescence of Tenant of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of
Tenant or of any material part of its assets, such appointment shall not have
been vacated; or

         (c) if the interest of Tenant in the Leased Premises shall be sold
under execution or other legal process, or

         (d) if Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or
Additional Rent within ten (10) business days after written notice by Landlord
that the installment of rent has not been paid when due (provided, however, that
Landlord shall not have any obligation to give this notice to Tenant more than
twice in any twelve (12) month period and any further failure to pay shall be an
Event of Default with no opportunity for cure); or

         (e) if Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any requirement,
obligation, agreement, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the
payment of any installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent, and the failure
shall continue for thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Tenant notice thereof,
or if the failure cannot be remedied within thirty (30) days, then for a
reasonable time thereafter, provided Tenant commences to remedy such failure
within the thirty (30) day period and prosecutes the same to completion with
diligence (provided, however, that Landlord shall not have any obligation to
give notice of default of the same nature to Tenant more than twice in any
twelve (12) month period and any further default of the same nature shall be an
Event of Default with no opportunity for cure); or

         (f) if any representations or warranty contained in this Lease shall
prove to be incorrect in any material respect on the date upon which it was
made, then at any time following any of such events of default, Landlord,
without waiving any other rights herein available to Landlord at law or in
equity, may either (1) give Tenant written notice of termination of this Lease,
or (2) without terminating this Lease, give Tenant written notice of Landlord's
intention to reenter and take possession of the Leased Premises, with legal
process.

       The giving of either of such notices to Tenant shall terminate Tenant's
right to possession of the Leased Premises under this Lease without prejudice,
however, to the rights of Landlord to exercise all other available legal
remedies and without discharging Tenant from any of its liabilities hereunder.

         26.2 Upon the occurrence of any one or more Event of Default, Landlord,
at any time, thereafter, at Landlord's option, may give to Tenant a ten (10)
days' notice of termination of this Lease and, in the event such notice is
given, this Lease and the term hereof shall come to an end and expire (whether
or not said term shall have commenced) upon the expiration of said ten (10) days
with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said ten (10) days were the
expiration date of this Lease, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as
provided in this Article.

       If Tenant shall default in the payment when due of any installment of
rent or in the making of any other payment herein required and such default
shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice by Landlord to
Tenant of such


                                       17
<PAGE>   18
default, or if this Lease and the term hereof shall expire and come to an end as
hereinabove provided, then:

         (a) Landlord, must make a reasonable attempt to relet the whole or any
part or parts of the Leased Premises either in the name of the Landlord or
otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on,
or after the expiration date of this Lease, at such rent which is the fair
market rent for that property at the time and which will reasonably mitigate the
loss caused by Tenant's vacancy. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may make such
repairs, replacements, alterations, additions, improvements, decorations and
other physical changes in and to the Leased Premises as Landlord, in Landlord's
reasonable discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with any
such reletting or proposed reletting, however, Tenant will only be responsible
for these costs to the extent such were repairs beyond reasonable wear and tear.

       If this Lease and the term hereof shall expire and come to an end as
provided in this Article, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other
action or proceeding then, in any of said events;

         (aa) Tenant pay to Landlord all rent and other charges payable under
this Lease by Tenant to Landlord to the date upon which this Lease and the term
hereof shall have expired and come to an end or to the date of re-entry upon the
Leased Premises by Landlord, whichever event occurs first, except Tenant's rent
shall be mitigated to the extent that the premises are relet and Landlord
collects rent.

         (bb) Tenant shall also be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as
damages, any deficiency (referred to as "Deficiency") between the rent reserved
in this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted an unexpired
portion of the term hereof (which period shall be calculated as if there was no
right of the Landlord to terminate this Lease in advance of the expiration date
of the term hereof) and the net amount, if any, of rents collected under any
reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of this Article for any part of
such period (first deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting
all of Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with the termination of this
Lease or Landlord's re-entry upon the Leased Premises and with such reletting,
including, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, and
attorney's fees. Any such Deficiency shall be paid in monthly installments by
Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for payment of monthly installments
of rent. Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly
Deficiency as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the
Deficiency for any month shall prejudice Landlord's right to collect the
Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding; and

         (cc) Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any rents collected or
payable under any reletting, except that such rents shall be considered payment
of rent owed by Tenant, whether or not such rent shall exceed the rent reserved
in this Lease.

         26.3 Landlord may sue for and collect any amounts which may be due
pursuant to the provisions of preceding subsection of this Lease from time to
time as Landlord may elect, but no such suit shall bar or in any way prejudice
the rights of Landlord to enforce the collection of amounts due at any time or
times thereafter by a like or similar proceeding.

         26.4 No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided, but each
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. The
receipt and acceptance by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the default by
Tenant in any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall not be deemed a
waiver by Landlord of such default. Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit
or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for
bankruptcy or insolvency an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute
or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in
which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal
to, or less than the amount of the loan or damages referred to above.

Tenant in any covenant, agreement or obligation under this Lease shall operate
to waive or affect any subsequent Event of Default or default in any covenant,
agreement or obligation hereunder, nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to
enforce a right or remedy upon an Event of Default or any such default be a
waiver of any of its rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent
default or in any other manner operate to the prejudice of Landlord.
