DELIVERY OF POSSESSION TO TENANT BY LANDLORD

     3. (a) The "Commencement Date" shall be the sooner to occur of the date of
Substantial Completion of the Premises or the date on which Tenant commences the
operation of its business in the Premises. For purposes of this Lease,
"Substantial Completion" shall occur on the first date on which all of the
following conditions have been satisfied: (i) the Premises shall be completed in
accordance with the Tenant Improvement Plans (as hereinafter defined) except for
minor punchlist items which do not materially and adversely affect the full use
and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant and do not detract from the aesthetic
appearance of the Premises; (ii) a final certificate of occupancy shall be
issued with respect to the Premises; and (iii) ten (10) days shall have expired
since Tenant shall have been given access to the <PAGE> Premises (with ceilings
and carpet installed) for the purposes of installing its furniture, cabling,
computer and other equipment. All furniture, computer and other equipment and
other personal property moved into the Premises shall be at Tenant's sole risk,
subject, however, to the terms of subparagraph 20(f) establishing liability on
the part of the Landlord for proven acts of negligence or willful misconduct
committed by Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees.

     (b) Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the anticipated completion
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date. The taking of
possession by Tenant shall conclusively establish that said improvements have
been completed in accordance with the building plans and the plans depicting

furniture into the Premises prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
unless the appropriate governmental authorities permit such furniture to be
moved into the Premises. Tenant's contractor shall also have earlier access to
the Premises for the purpose of installing computer and other cabling in the
slab of the Premises provided such installation is coordinated with the Landlord
and its contractor. Tenant agrees not to unreasonably interfere with Landlord's
contractors, subcontractors, employees and agents. Tenant acknowledges that in
the event of a conflict between the work to be performed by its contractors and
work to be performed by Landlord's contractors, Landlord's contractors shall

Commencement Date to occur on or before JULY 1, 1998. If the Commencement Date
has not occurred on or before AUGUST 1, 1998, unless there were delays caused by
Tenant's failure to comply with the schedule in Exhibit "E", Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord, in which event Landlord shall refund to Tenant the $8,278.82
previously paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to paragraph 2 (a), above. If the
delays in the completion of construction are due to Tenant's delays, then the
Commencement Date shall be the actual completion date of the Premises advanced
by the number of days Tenant delayed the schedule in "Exhibit E".

deadline for the occurrence of the Commencement Date set forth above shall be
extended (for a maximum period of sixty (60) days) upon the occurrence of any

(including, but not limited to carpets, drapes and drape hardware) made or
installed by Tenant which were paid for by Tenant and were not part of the
Tenant Improvement Plans shall become the property of Landlord at the expiration
of the Term. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant may elect
to have Landlord remove any alterations, additions or improvements to be removed
pursuant to subparagraph 4(b) above, at Tenant's expense, provided Tenant so
notifies Landlord in writing prior to the expiration of the Term and pays to
Landlord on or before the last day of the Term the funds necessary to complete
such removal and restoration, the amount of which funds shall be determined by
Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord

and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of removing the
same, subject however, to Landlord's right to require Tenant to remove any
improvements or additions made to the Premises by Tenant and for Tenant to
restore the Premises to its original condition pursuant to the preceding
subparagraph 4(b) above, and further subject to the right of Tenant to leave
certain improvements or additions in the Premises at the end of the Term , as
provided in paragraph 4(b), above.

     (e) In doing any work of any nature in, to or about the Premises, Tenant

done in or to the Building or Premises, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge
any and all licenses, imposts, liens or other charges arising out of or in
connection with the performance of any act required of or permitted by Tenant
hereunder and shall keep the Premises free and clear from any such liens

                                       3

harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages or liabilities
resulting from or attributable to any liens or claims of lien for said work and
Tenant shall remove any such lien or claim of lien promptly upon notice from
Landlord or upon any prior notice of such lien or claim of lien.

with all applicable lawful requirements, rules, regulations and ordinances of
all legally constituted authorities existing at any time during the continuance
of such performance which in any way affects the Premises or the use of the
Premises by Tenant. Such compliance shall include compliance by Tenant with
requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and all amendments
thereto, as the same applies to Tenant's use of the Premises. Should any such
requirement, rule, regulation or ordinance which does not apply to the Building
generally, but which instead applies by virtue of Tenant's or any tenant's
specific manner of use of its premises, require any alteration or addition to
its premises, Landlord shall perform same at Tenant's or at such tenant's
expense. Landlord shall, at Landlord's expense but subject to inclusion in
Adjustments pursuant to paragraph 9 below [subject, however, to the limitations
set forth in subparagraphs 9(j) and (l)], perform any alterations or additions

     5. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any theft of or damage to any
personal property brought into the Building or the Premises by Tenant, its
employees, agents, contractors, licensees and invitees, except where such theft
or damage results from proven acts of negligence or willful misconduct for which
Landlord or its agents, contractors or employees are proven to be responsible.

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

     6. (a) Tenant shall be responsible for its pro rata share of the cost of
all maintenance and repair required in connection with the Premises and the
Building to the extent such costs fall within the scope of the Adjustments in
accordance with Paragraphs 8 and 9. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant,
except as expressly provided in this Lease, for any damage or inconvenience, and

terms of Paragraph 9 below.

     (b) Subject to the terms of Paragraph 21 below, Tenant shall, at its own
cost and expense repair or replace any damage or injury to all or any part of
the Premises caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, licensees or

USAGE

     7. (a) Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises as general executive,
sales, and administrative offices and uses ancillary thereto (including, without
limitation an employee break room) and for no other purpose. Tenant's use of the
Premises shall not violate any ordinance, law or regulations of any governmental
body applicable to the Premises and Tenant's use thereof or the "Rules and
Regulations" of Landlord as made a part hereof. In case of breach of this
covenant, Tenant agrees that Landlord may declare Tenant to be in Default of
this Lease as defined in Paragraph 12 below (if such breach is not cured within
the applicable cure period) and may terminate either this Lease or Tenant's
right to possession in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 12 . Landlord
represents that Tenant's permitted use of the Premises set forth in first
sentence of this Paragraph 7 shall be in full compliance with all applicable
zoning, land use and development laws and that if Tenant uses the Premises as
permitted herein, its use shall not cause any increase in the existing rates
payable with respect to any fire or other insurance policies relating to the
Building. The Premises shall be used for purposes otherwise in keeping with the
Class A nature of the Building.

     (b) In addition to complying with the Rules and Regulations set forth on
EXHIBIT "C" attached hereto and made a part of this Lease and the other terms of
this Lease, Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the
Premises nor bring or keep anything herein which is not within the permitted use
of the Premises which will in any way increase the existing rate or affect any
fire or other insurance upon the Building or any of its contents or cause a
cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Building or any part thereof
or any of its contents. In the event that Tenant's actions, omissions or
occupancy of the Premises shall cause the rate of fire or other insurance on the
Building and/or the Premises to be increased, Tenant shall pay, as additional
rent, the amount of any such increase promptly upon demand by Landlord. Landlord
shall give Tenant written notice of and reasonable evidence of the proposed
voiding, suspensions, or increase in the premium of, such insurance, and an
opportunity to cease any conduct causing same, prior to Tenant's incurring the
cost of such increased premium. Tenant shall have the right to pay any such
increased premium cost in lieu of ceasing such conduct, as long as such conduct
is not otherwise prohibited in the Lease. The foregoing to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used in
violation of the prohibitions of Paragraph 4 of the "Rules and Regulations"
attached hereto.

SERVICES, ELEVATOR, WATER CLEANING & ELECTRICITY

     8. (a) Landlord shall furnish, at Tenant's pro rata cost and expense as
provided in Paragraph 9, the following services: (i) elevator service; (ii)
heating and air conditioning in accordance with the standards set forth in
Exhibit B(9) for HVAC; (iii) hot and cold domestic water and common use of
restrooms; (iv) cleaning services; (v) security services consisting of
electronic keyed access to the Building and after-hours on-site guard service;
and (vi) exterior window washing. The services described in clauses (i), (iii)
and (v) shall be provided each day during the Term of this Lease. The services
described in clause (iv) shall be provided on each normal business day except
Holidays. The services described in clause (ii) shall be available from 8:00
a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday inclusive, and 8:30 a.m. until 1:00
p.m. on Saturdays, except Holidays, (herein referred to as "Normal Business
Hours"). As used herein, the term "Holidays" shall mean New Year's Day, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day and other
holidays generally observed by the owners of comparable buildings in the Georgia
400 at Mansell Road and Haynes Bridge Road Office Market (the "Market").
Heating, air conditioning and electric service shall also be available at
Tenant's expense during hours after normal Business Hours at rates not in excess
of the lowest rate charged to other tenants of the Building for comparable
service (hereinafter referred to as the "After Hours Cost"). The After Hours
Cost shall be equal

                                       5
<PAGE>
to the sum of: (1) the actual cost of all electricity consumed in the operation
of the Premises (as recorded on electric submeters installed by Landlord at
Tenant's expense); (2) the cost of all water consumed for air conditioning and
restroom facilities; (3) the actual cost of Landlord's maintenance personnel or
contractors needed to serve Tenant's after hours requirements, if any; and (4)
the product of (i) the number of hours the Premises are occupied by Tenant above
the normal Business Hours, multiplied by (ii) the "After Hours Rate" (as
hereinafter defined). The After Hours Rate shall be an hourly rate equal to the
sum of (1) the increased maintenance cost, if any, per hour resulting from
Tenant's after hours use of all building and Premises systems; (2) the
incremental hourly cost of all water and electricity consumed by the Building
systems (e.g., cooling tower, fresh air fans, elevator, lobby, lighting, etc.)
which is attributable to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises during times other
than the Normal Business Hours; and (3) if the heating and air conditioning
system was used, the hourly replacement cost of the Building and Premises
heating and air conditioning systems computed by dividing the installed
replacement costs of such systems by the operating life (in hours) of such
systems. Landlord may charge Tenant for administering the After Hours Cost the
lesser of $35.00 per usage beyond the Normal Business Hours, $200.00 per month
or $2,400.00 per calendar year. The charges for After Hours Cost plus the
administrative charges shall be invoiced to Tenant by the twentieth (20th) of
each month and paid by Tenant to Landlord by the first of the succeeding month.
Paragraph 9(k) of the Lease shall govern the After Hours Cost.

     (b) As provided in Paragraph 9, Landlord shall also furnish, at Tenant's
pro rata cost and expense pursuant to Paragraph 9 below, electric current on the
Premises for lighting and for small business machinery only (e.g., desk top
computers, fax machines, printers, kitchen appliances in Tenant's employee
breakroom and other small office equipment) using 110 volt, 20 AMP circuits.
Tenant will not use any electrical equipment which in Landlord's reasonable
opinion will overload the wiring installations or interfere with the reasonable
use thereof by other tenants in the Building. If Tenant shall use any equipment
which would result in subparagraph 8(e) below being applicable, Tenant shall
notify Landlord within ten (10) business days after installing such equipment.
Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, in each instance,
make any alteration to the electrical system. All additional circuits or
equipment required shall be provided by Landlord and the reasonable cost of
installation and the power consumption thereof shall be paid by Tenant Within 30
days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's invoice with substantiating
documentation. Landlord to provide minimum 6 watts per usable square foot demand
load for receptacles, lighting and miscellaneous uses.

     (c) If Tenant uses any of the services or electric current enumerated in
this paragraph in an amount or for a period in excess of that provided for
herein, then Landlord reserves the right to charge Tenant as additional rent a
reasonable sum as reimbursement for the direct cost of such added services. In
the event of disagreement as to reasonableness of such charge, the opinion of
the appropriate local utility company or local independent professional engineer
shall prevail.

     (d) Subject to the terms of subparagraph 19(f) below, Landlord shall in no
way be liable for cessation of any of the above services caused by strike,
accident or breakdown, nor shall Landlord be liable for damages from the
stopping of elevator nor elevator service, or any of the fixtures or equipment
in the Building being out of repair, or for injury to person or property, caused
by any defects in the electrical equipment, heating, ventilating and air
conditioning system, elevators or water apparatus, or for any damages arising
out of failure to furnish the services enumerated in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) Landlord fails to provide
services in Paragraph 8(a)and 8 (b) to Tenant or to make any repair as required
by this Lease for a continuous period in excess of five (5) calendar days
following written notice from Tenant of such failure (which notice shall specify
the date on which such failure first occurred) and such failure is not caused by
the failure of any public utility to provide service to the Premises or the
Building, and (ii) such failure results in all or a substantial portion of the
Premises being untenantable for the conduct of Tenant's business,

                                       6
<PAGE>
Landlord shall provide Tenant an offset against rents next owing, in an amount
equal to the Base Rental and Adjustments due under this Lease (with the amount
of such offset of rent being prorated based on the portion of the Premises which
is rendered untenantable in the event such failure does not render the entire
Premises untenantable) from and after the expiration of such five (5) calendar
day period and until such time as Landlord resumes providing such service or
services to Tenant or makes the repair in question. If such service or services
are not reinstated or if a repair is not completed within twenty days (20) of
the date such services were first interrupted, so that Tenant's Premises resumes
being tenantable, Tenant may cancel this Lease upon ten (10) days prior written
notice t o Landlord. The following are examples of conditions that the parties
agree will result in all or a portion of the Premises being untenantable: the
unavailability of air conditioning during hot summer months; the unavailability
of heating during cold winter months; the absence of janitorial services; and
the absence of electrical service to the Premises (unless such absence is due to
the failure of a public utility to provide service).

     (e) In the event that Tenant uses equipment which consumes electricity in
excess of the electricity consumed by equipment typically used in the operation
of a business office (e.g., typewriters, copy machines, personal computers,
printers fax machines, and other customary office equipment) or in the event
Tenant consistently operates its business in all or a substantial portion of the
Premises for hours in excess of hours specified in subparagraph 8(a), Landlord,
at Tenant's expense, may separately meter the electrical consumption of the
Premises or a substantial portion of the Premises. In such event, Tenant agrees
to pay Landlord Tenant's pro rata share of such cost derived from Tenant's floor
area of the Premises as a ratio of the total floor area of the Building or any
smaller component thereof having a separate utility and/or service measuring
device (e.g., meter) to determine such cost. Such payment by Tenant to Landlord
shall be paid in the same manner and time as Base Rental in Paragraph 2, above.
Landlord agrees to include a provision such as this in the leases relating to
other space in the Building and enforce its provisions as to any tenant which
uses any disproportionately large amounts of utilities and/or services. Any
costs paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this subparagraph 8(e) shall not
be included in Adjustments pursuant to Paragraph 9 below. In the event that all
or a substantial portion of the Premises are separately metered, then an
appropriate adjustment to the amount of Adjustments shall be made (e.g., in the
event that the entire Premises are separately metered, then the only cost of
electricity included in Adjustments shall be electricity consumed in connection
with the common areas of the Building).

ADJUSTMENTS

     9. In addition to the Base Rental provided in Paragraph 2 hereinabove,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following expenses of operating the Premises
and Tenant's pro rata share of the following expenses of operating the Building,
such expenses are herein called "Adjustments" (for purposes of this provision,
Tenant's pro rata share shall be computed by dividing the total floor area of
the Premises by the total rentable area of the Building, which pro rata share is
hereby agreed to be 2.73%):

          (a) All real estate taxes on the Building and the Premises, including
     land, the Building and improvements thereon. Said real estate taxes shall
     include all real estate taxes and assessments that are levied upon and/or
     assessed against the Premises, including any taxes, excluding income taxes,
     which may be levied on rents and/or any reasonable cost incurred by
     Landlord in contesting or mitigating same which results in lowering same.

          (b) All insurance on the Building and the Premises including all
     insurance premiums for fire, extended coverage, liability, and any other
     insurance that Landlord deems necessary in its reasonable judgment on the
     Building and the Premises.

          (c) All costs to maintain, repair and, subject to Paragraph 9(l),
     replace common areas, parking lots, sidewalks, driveways and other areas,
     facilities and equipment used in common by the tenants of the Building.

                                       7
<PAGE>
          (d) Any parking charges, utility surcharges, or any other costs
     levied, assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from
     statutes or regulations, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any
     governmental authority in connection with Tenant's use or occupancy of the
     Premises or the parking facilities serving the Premises.

          (e) The cost of providing the services enumerated in Paragraph 8
     above.

          (f) The costs of maintaining and repairing the Building, its
     mechanical, electrical, plumbing and heating, ventilating and air
     conditioning systems, and exterior, including the roof system and glass.

          (g) The cost of maintaining and repairing the Premises.

          (h) The cost of property management, not to exceed four percent (4%)
     of gross rentals and revenues collected from Tenant, and the cost of
     Landlord's general and administrative expenses (not to exceed one percent
     (1%) of Landlord's gross rentals from the Premises).

          (i) Tenant is hereby notified that the estimated monthly installments
     of "Adjustments" are payable per month in the amount of $2,129.90 and at
     the rate of $5.75 per square foot (rentable) per year beginning on the
     Commencement Date, and continuing each month in advance on the first day
     thereof. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments until notified
     by Landlord of a change thereof. By April 1st of each year Landlord shall
     give Tenant a statement showing the total Adjustments for the Building for
     the prior calendar year and Tenant's allocable share thereof, prorated from
     the Commencement Date. Landlord's statement, prepared in accordance with
     GAAP, shall show a breakdown of Adjustments into at least the following
     categories: real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, building
     maintenance, utilities and garbage and property management fee. In the
     event the total of the monthly payments which Tenant has made for the prior
     calendar year are less than the Tenant's actual pro rata share of such
     Adjustments, then Tenant shall pay the difference in a lump sum with the
     next installment of Base Rental but no less than thirty (30) business days
     after receipt of such statement from Landlord and shall concurrently pay
     the difference between the revised monthly payments for the then current
     calendar year versus the amount actually paid. In the event the total of
     the monthly payments which Tenant has made for the prior calendar year are
     greater than Tenant's actual pro rata share of such Adjustments, then the
     amount of such overpayment shall be credited towards the monthly Base
     Rental or Adjustments next coming due or reimbursed as appropriate. The
     projected actual Adjustments for the current year shall be used for the
     purposes of calculating the anticipated monthly Adjustments for the then
     current year with actual determination of such Adjustments after each
     calendar year as above provided. Even though the Term has expired and
     Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the fi nal determination is made of
     Tenant's share of said Adjustments for the year in which this Lease
     terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the
     estimated Adjustments previously paid and, conversely, any overpayment made
     shall be immediately rebated by Landlord to Tenant.

          (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
     the following items shall be excluded (or, as applicable, deducted) by
     Landlord in determining or calculating Adjustments: (i) the cost of repairs
     or other work occasioned by fire, windstorm or other casualty or loss, or
     by the exercise of eminent domain, to the extent that same are covered or
     would have been covered by Landlord's compliance with its covenant to
     insure by proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards; (ii) rental
     concessions or lease buy-outs; the costs of renovating or otherwise
     improving or decorating, painting or redecorating other premises for
     tenants of the Building or any other costs related to procuring new leases
     or renewals, expansions or extensions of existing leases; or relocating the
     premises of any tenants; (iii)

                                       8
<PAGE>
     depreciation; (iv) amounts paid to Landlord, subsidiaries or affiliates of
     Landlord, for services to the Building if and to the extent the cost
     therefor exceeds competitive costs for such ser vices in comparable
     projects or buildings located within the Market were they not so rendered
     by Landlord, or a subsidiary or affiliate of Landlord; (v) payments of
     principal, interest or other payments or any kind on any deeds to secure
     debt, mortgages, ground or underlying lease(s), or other hypothecations for
     security of all or any part of the Project or the Building by Landlord;
     (vi) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants, or other persons or
     entities in any commercial concessions operated by Land lord; (vii) all
     items and services and goods for which Tenant or any other tenant,
     occupant, person or other party is obligated to reimburse Landlord or to
     pay third parties; (viii) wages, salaries and other compensation paid to
     employees of the Landlord at the Building who are above the grade of
     Building superintendent or manager; (ix) brokerage, legal and professional
     fees expended by Landlord in connection with negotiating and entering into
     any leases and any related instruments (including w ithout limitation,
     guaranties, surrender agreements, leasing amendments and consents to
     assignment or subletting) with any tenant or other occupant of any portion
     of the Project or the Building and the enforcement of any such instruments;
     (x) estate, inheritance, gift, transfer, net worth, intangibles, franchise,
     personal property taxes (except such personal property as required to
     operate the Building) and income taxes of Landlord (but in no event shall
     this subparagraph exclude rent taxes or any net worth, franchise or income
     tax assessment in lieu of and in substitution for real estate taxes); (xi)
     all other items for which Tenant or any other tenant, occupant or other
     party compensates Landlord under this Lease so that no duplication of
     payments by Tenant to Landlord shall occur; (xii) any costs, fines or
     penalties incurred due to violations by Landlord of any law; (xiii) the
     cost of the initial construction of the Building or any subsequent
     additions thereto and the cost of correcting any defects in such
     construction; (xiv) expenses for the replacement of any item covered under
     warranty to the extent of proceeds or payments actually received by
     Landlord under such warranty; (xv) Landlord's general corporate overhead
     and administrative expenses except as permitted in Paragraph 9 (h); (xvi)
     any expenses related to the removal of hazardous substances as defined in
     any presently existing applicable environmental law or regulation brought
     on the Premises by Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees or other
     tenants; (xvii) costs and expenses incurred in connection with financing,
     refinancing or syndication of the Building; (xviii) any cost or expense
     which is specific to Buildings 10, 20, 30, 70 or any other building which
     is hereafter part of the project of which the Building is a part (the
     "Adjacent Buildings"); (xix) other items not customarily included as
     operating expenses for comparable buildings in the Market; (xx) costs or
     expenditures resulting from Landlord's default or from proven acts of
     negligence or willful misconduct committed by Landlord, its agents,
     contractors or employees; (xxi) late fees due to Landlord's failure to pay
     any invoices in a timely manner; and (xxii) consulting fees except those
     enhancing the operation of the Building or Premises. Any cost or expense
     which benefits one or more of the Adjacent Buildings in addition to the
     Building shall be allocated among the benefited buildings in proportion to
     the square footage of the benefited buildings.

          (k) Within 180 days of Tenant's receipt of a statement from Landlord
     showing computation of the Adjustments (or at any time if Landlord fails to
     provide such a statement), Tenant may, upon thirty (30) days' written
     notice to Landlord and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, conduct an audit
     of Landlord's books and records with respect to Adjustments. Officers or
     agents of Tenant shall conduct such audit during regular business hours at
     Landlord's offices. If such audit shall disclose an error in Landlord's
     calculation of Adjustments for such year, proper adjustment shall forthwith
     be made between Landlord and Tenant to correct any overpayment or
     underpayment of Adjustments by Tenant (with any adjustment by Landlord in
     favor of Tenant to be in the form of a credit against future rent) or
     reimbursement if appropriate. In the event such audit discloses an
     overstatement of Adjustments by Landlord of more than ten (10) percent,
     Landlord shall pay the cost of such audit.

          (l) Any costs which would be capitalized in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles ("Capital Costs") shall be amortized on a
     straight line basis over the useful

                                       9
<PAGE>
     life expectancy of same. The amortized cost allocable to a particular year
     shall be includable in Adjustments for such year in accordance with the
     following: (i) any costs incurred in acquiring and installing any device or
     equipment reasonably believed by Landlord to improve the operating
     efficiency of any system within the Building shall be included in
     Adjustments in its entirety; (ii) any costs incurred in making an
     improvement to the Building in order to comply with any law enacted or
     reinterpreted by court decision subsequent to the Commencement Date shall
     likewise be included in Adjustments in its entirety; Landlord will be
     solely responsible for the compliance of the Building (including all Common
     Areas which includes bathrooms), all exterior facilities of the Building
     and the Property with applicable laws, including, without limitation, the
     Americans with Disabilities Act. (iii) otherwise, the amount included in
     Adjustments on account of such Capital Costs (exclusive of the costs
     described in clauses (i) and (ii) which shall be included in their
     entireties) in any year shall not exceed the Capital Costs Cap. The term
     "Capital Cost Cap" shall mean (i)$.30 per square foot during the first year
     of the Term and (ii)during each succeeding year an amount equal to the
     product of $.30 per square foot and a fraction, the numerator of which is
     the Index most recently published prior to the first day of the year in
     question and the denominator of which is the Index most recently published
     prior to the Commencement Date. As used herein, the Index shall mean the
     Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers - U.S.
     City Average 1982-84 = 100). In the event the Index ceases being published,
     Landlord shall select a replacement index which will result in comparable
     adjustments.

DESTRUCTION TO PREMISES

     10. If the Building is totally destroyed (or so substantially damaged as to
be unable to be restored or repaired within 270 days of the fire or other
casualty as determined by Landlord's Insurance adjuster) by storm, fire,
earthquake, or other casualty, the Lease, shall at the option of either party,
by giving notice within thirty (30) days of such destruction or damage,
terminate as of the date of such destruction or damage, and rental shall be
accounted for as between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such destruction
or damage. If the Premises, but not the entire Building, are damaged or are
rendered partially or wholly untenantable by any such casualty, rental shall
abate from the date of such destruction or damage in proportion to the area of
the Premises which cannot be used or occupied by Tenant as a result of such
casualty and Landlord shall restore the Premises within 120 days of the date of
such casualty unless prevented from doing so for reasons beyond Landlord's
control, in which event such restoration period shall be so extended for up to
60 days. If the Premises are not restored within the period of time specified in
the preceding sentence, Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease by
written notice to Landlord.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

     11. Tenant will observe and comply with the "Rules and Regulations"
attached hereto as EXHIBIT C and made a part hereof and such further reasonable
rules and regulations as Landlord may prescribe, on written notice to Tenant,
for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Building, and the comfort, quietness
and convenience of other occupants of the Building. Landlord shall have the
exclusive right to regulate and control parking areas and Tenant hereby agrees
to conform to such rules and regulations as Landlord may establish. Tenant shall
have the non-exclusive use of 17 automobile spaces for free parking on the
Property shown in Exhibit A-1 for its employees, vendors, and business invitees.
Twelve (12) of said spaces shall be located in the structured parking deck of
the Building. Tenant shall not allow more than seventeen (17) cars to be parked
on the Property for any employee, visitor, contractor, vendor, or other business
invitee. In no event shall Landlord adopt any rule or regulation which does not
apply to all tenants, including rules and regulations providing for reserved
parking. Landlord shall not enforce any of the rules and regulations in a manner
which is discriminatory against Tenant or inconsistent with the other provisions
of this Lease.

TENANT'S DEFAULT

     12. The following constitute a Default: Any failure to pay rent or other
charges due hereunder as and when the same shall be due and payable (provided,
however, that no more than twice during any calendar year, a Default shall not
have occurred unless Tenant has failed to cure any such failure within three (3)
business days following written notice thereof from

                                       10
<PAGE>
Landlord) or if Tenant defaults in performing any other of Tenant's non-monetary
obligations hereunder and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days
after written notice from Landlord (or such longer period as may reasonably
necessary to cure such default if such default is not reasonably susceptible of
being cured within thirty (30) days, provided Tenant promptly commences its
efforts to cure such default within thirty (30) days and proceeds with due
diligence and good faith thereafter); or if Tenant files for or is adjudicated a
bankrupt; or if a permanent receiver is appointed for Tenant's property,
including Tenant's interest in the Premises, and such receiver is not removed
within sixty (60) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant to obtain
such removal; or if whether voluntarily or involuntarily, Tenant takes advantage
of any debtor relief proceedings under any present or future law, whereby the
rent or any part thereof is, or is proposed to be reduced or payment thereof
deferred; or is proposed to be reduced or payment should be levied upon or
attached under process against Tenant, not satisfied or dissolved within thirty
(30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant to obtain satisfaction
thereof.

Upon the occurrence of any of the aforesaid events of Default, without further
notice or demand of Tenant in any instance, Landlord shall have the option to
pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

          (a) Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of termination, in
     which event this Lease shall expire and terminate on the date specified in
     such notice of termination, with the same force and effect as though the
     date so specified were the date herein originally fixed as the termination
     date of the Term of this Lease, and all rights of Tenant under this Lease
     and in and to the Premises shall expire and terminate, and Tenant shall
     remain liable for all obligations under this Lease arising up to the date
     of such termination, and Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord on
     the date specified in such notice and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord
     may without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession
     or arrearage in rent, enter upon and take possession using lawful means of
     the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be
     occupying the Premises or any portion thereof.

          (b) Terminate this Lease as provided in clause (a) above and recover
     from Tenant all losses and damages Landlord may suffer or incur by reason
     of Tenant's default, including, without limitation, a sum which, at the
     date of such termination, is equal to the then present value (to be
     computed as set forth below) of the excess, if any, of (i) the Base Monthly
     Rental, Additional Rent and all other sums which would have been payable
     hereunder by Tenant for the period commencing with the date following the
     date of such termination and ending with the date hereinbefore set forth
     for the expiration of the full Term hereby granted, over (ii) the aggregate
     reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period. Tenant hereby
     agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all such losses and
     damages which Landlord actually suffer by reason of such Tenant default.

          (c) Without terminating this Lease, terminate Tenant's right of
     possession and enter into and upon and take possession of the Premises or
     any part thereof, and at Landlord's option, expel and remove persons and
     property therefrom by entry using lawful means, dispossessing suit or
     lawful means , without thereby releasing Tenant form any liability
     hereunder, without terminating this Lease, and without being liable to
     prosecution or any claim for damages therefor except for damages due to
     Landlord's negligent acts or willful misconduct. Such property, if any, may
     be removed and stored in a warehouse or elsewhere at the costs of, and for
     the account of Tenant, all without being deemed guilty of trespass or
     becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby, to
     Landlord's negligent acts or willful misconduct and may, but shall be under
     no obligation to do so, relet the Premises in Landlord's name, but for the
     account of Tenant, with or without advertisement, and by private
     negotiations, and receive the rent therefore, and for any term and upon
     such terms and conditions as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary or
     desirable. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any rental
     concessions or any failure to

                                       11
<PAGE>
     lease the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to lease the
     Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due
     upon such reletting. Upon each such reletting, all rentals received by
     Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the
     payment of any indebtedness (other than any amounts due hereunder) from
     Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of
     such reletting, including, without limitation, reasonable and necessary
     brokerage fees and attorneys' fees and costs of alterations and repairs
     (Tenant agreeing that Landlord shall have the right to make such
     alterations and repairs as, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, may be
     necessary to relet the Premises); third, to the paymen t of rental and
     other charges then due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall
     be held by Landlord to the extent of and for application in payment of
     future amounts due hereunder as the same may become due and payable
     hereunder. In reletting the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord may grant
     market rent concessions and Tenant shall not be credited therefor. If such
     rentals received from such reletting shall at any time or from time to time
     be less than sufficient to pay to Landlord the entire sums then due from
     Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such
     deficiency shall, at Landlord's option, be calculated and paid monthly. No
     such reletting shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate
     this Lease unless a written notice of such election has been given to
     Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,
     Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for any
     such previous event of default provided same has not been cured.
     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no termination
     of Tenant's right of possession of the Premises by dispossessory action or
     otherwise shall release Tenant from the performance of Tenant's obligations
     under this Lease, including, without limitation, the timely payment of all
     rent reserved hereunder for the balance of the Term of this Lease following
     such termination of Tenant's right of possession, and Tenant agrees to so
     perform said obligations.

          (d) Without liability to Tenant or any other party and without
     constituting a constructive or actual eviction, suspend, or discontinue
     furnishing or rendering to Tenant any property, material, labor, utilities
     or other service, wherever Landlord is obligated to furnish or render the
     same, so long as Tenant is in default under this Lease.

          (e) Allow the Premises to remain unoccupied and collect Base Monthly
     rental and other charges due hereunder from Tenant as they come due.
     Notwithstanding the forgoing, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable
     efforts to mitigate Tenant's damages hereunder.

          (f) Landlord may perform, as agent for and at the expense of Tenant,
     any obligation of Tenant under this Lease which Tenant has failed to
     perform and of which Landlord shall have given Tenant notice and
     opportunity to cure as provided herein, the cost of which performance by
     Landlord together with interest thereon at the default rate from the date
     of such expenditure, shall be deemed additional rental and shall be payable
     by Tenant to Landlord upon demand, and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall
     not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action,
     provided such action does not constitute gross negligence or willful
     misconduct on the part of landlord.

          (g) Landlord may exercise any other legal or equitable right or remedy
     which it may have, including, but not limited to Landlord's right
     judicially to obtain possession pursuant to Georgia statutory law.

Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (g) above and regardless of whether a
"Default" shall have occurred, Landlord may exercise the remedy described in
clause (g) without any prior notice to Tenant if Landlord, in its reasonable
judgment, believes it would be materially injured by failure to take rapid
action and if the unperformed obligation of Tenant constitutes an emergency. The
Tenant shall be notified within ten (10) business days after such

                                       12
<PAGE>
emergency. Any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) in enforcing any of its rights or
remedies under this Lease shall be deemed additional rent and shall be repaid to
Landlord by Tenant within three days after demand.

Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any other
remedy herein provided or any other remedy thereby excluding the later election
of an alternate remedy, or a forfeiture or waiver of any Base Rental, Additional
Rent or other charges and assessments payable by Tenant and due to Landlord
hereunder or of any damage accruing to Landlord by reason or violation of any of
the terms, covenants, warranties and provisions herein contained. No course of
dealing between Landlord or Tenant under Paragraph 15, or under any other
provisions of this Lease, shall operate as a waiver of any rights of Landlord or
Tenant hereunder any other provisions of this Lease, nor shall any waiver of an
event of default on one occasion operate as a waiver of any subsequent event of
default or any other event of default. No express waiver shall effect any
condition, covenant, rule, or regulation other than the one specified in such
waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated.

If this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to clause (b) above, "present
value" shall be computed by discounting the amount of such excess to present
worth at a discount rate equal to one percent (1%) above the discount rate then
in effect at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Georgia. Neither the
commencement of any action or proceeding, any sum or sums then due be a bar to
the maintenance of any subsequent actions or proceedings for the recovery of
such sums or sums so omitted. Landlord's pursuit of any remedy or remedies,
including, without limitation, any one or more of the remedies stated above
shall not (i) constitute an election of remedies or preclude pursuit of any
other remedy or remedies provided in this Lease or separately or concurrently or
in any combination, or (ii) serve as the basis for any claim of constructive
eviction, or allow Tenant to withhold any payments under this Lease.

Landlord hereby waives, releases and relinquishes any and all claims, rights,
interests, liens upon and rights of distraint, levy, attachment or recourse
(whether arising by virtue of statute, common law or otherwise) to equipment or
trade fixtures which Tenant may lease, and to equipment, trade fixtures and
other personal property owned by Tenant (the "Owned Property"). Owned Property
shall include, without limitation, specialized equipment unique to the nature of
Tenant's business, including, with limitation, computer software, computer
tapes, computer program tapes, computer program disks, computer program
documentation and manuals, computer program codes, customer lists or other such
inventory or proprietary information which may belong to Tenant or be in the
possession of Tenant, which is located upon the Premises during the Term, or any
renewal or extension thereof. The foregoing waiver, release and relinquishment
is self-operative and does not require the necessity for any further instrument
or document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees to furnish,
upon written request, waivers of Landlord's rights and liens as described herein
and shall exempt the same from distraint, levy, attachment, or recourse."

The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms,
condition and covenants herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default in the terms, conditions, and covenants except as
may be expressly waived in writing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be responsible for any
consequential, indirect, speculative or punitive damages of Tenant.

EARLY TERMINATION

     13. No termination of this Lease prior to the normal ending thereof by the
lapse of time or otherwise shall affect Landlord's right to collect rent and
other charges due at the time of such termination.

                                       13
<PAGE>
ASSIGNMENT SUBLETTING

     14. (a) Tenant may assign this Lease and any interest hereunder, or sublet
the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises to or by any
affiliate of Tenant without the approval of Landlord. Tenant may not assign this
Lease and any interest hereunder or sublet the Premises or any part thereof or
permit the use of the Premises by any party other than an affiliate of Tenant
without the prior written consent of Landlord, such consent to be in conformance
with Paragraph 39 hereof. The term "affiliate" shall mean any entity now or
hereafter directly or indirectly in control of, controlled by or under common
control with Tenant or its principals; or into which or with which Tenant
intends to merge or consolidate; or which agrees to acquire all or substantially
all of Tenant's outstanding stock, partnership interests or assets. The terms
"control", "controlled by" and "under common control with" shall mean, with
respect to any entity, the possession of the power to direct or cause the
direction of the management and policy of such entity, whether through the
ownership of voting securities or contracts. Tenant agrees to provide to
Landlord notice of any such assignment or sublease to an affiliate of Tenant.

     (b) In the event Tenant subleases or assigns any part of the Premises to a
party other than an affiliate at a rental rate exceeding the Base Rental due
Landlord herein, fifty percent (50%) of the excess rental received by Tenant,
less the cost of subleasing or assigning the Premises, shall be due to Landlord
within ten (10) days after receipt of such excess by Tenant. If Tenant has
vacated or discontinued operation in all or substantially all of the Premises
and subleases or assigns the Premises to another tenant, then, in addition to
other requirements of this paragraph 29, the Lease shall be amended by adding a
Damage Deposit of $8,278.82 in paragraph 29, and Landlord shall receive 50% of
the excess rental received by Tenant, less the cost of subleasing and assigning
the Premises. If Landlord approves Tenant's sublease or assignment, Landlord, as
a condition of its approval, shall (1) be paid $500.00 to reimburse Landlord for
its administrative review of the sublease or assignment; (2) receive a fully
executed copy of the sublease or assignment; (3) hold Tenant liable under this
Lease as if there were no sublease or assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if Tenant desires to sublease or assign substantially all of the Premises,
Landlord may cancel this Lease and enter into a new lease with Tenant's proposed
sublessee or assignee.

EMINENT DOMAIN

     15. If all or any substantial part of the Premises, the land on which the
Building stands, any portion of the common areas necessary for the use and
enjoyment of the Premises or any estate therein is taken by virtue of eminent
domain or is conveyed or leased in lieu of such taking, the Lease shall expire
on the date when title shall vest, or the term of such lease shall commence, and
any rent paid for any period beyond said date shall be repaid to Tenant.
Widening of streets abutting the land on which the Building stands and/or loss
of less than 10% of the total Parking Spaces shall not affect this Lease,
provided no part of the Building is taken and there is no material and adverse
impact on Tenant's ability to park on the Property or any substituted property,
(hereinafter referred to as "Tenant's Parking Impact"). Tenant shall not be
entitled to any part of any condemnation award granted to Landlord or to any
payment in lieu thereof unless condemning authority pays Landlord's and Tenant's
compensation in a lump sum payment, but Tenant shall be entitled to file its own
claim for damages with the condemning authority. If less than substantially all
of the Premises, the land on which the Building stands, or the common areas
necessary for the use and enjoyment of the Premises is so taken and such taking
renders a portion of the Premises untenantable and Tenant could reasonably be
expected to operate within the remaining Premises, Landlord shall conduct such
repair work, if any, as may be necessary to restore the premises to a
self-contained rental unit and provide Tenant an offset against the Base Rental
and Adjustments next owing under this Lease (with the amount of such offset
being determined prorata based on the portion of the Premises rendered
untenantable) from and after the date of such taking until such time as said
portion of the Premises, the land on which the Building stands, or said common
area so taken is restored by Landlord. Any partial taking of the Premises th at
renders the Premises untenantable as defined in Paragraph 8(d) and a loss of
parking causing a Tenant Parking Impact (as herein before defined) shall give
Tenant the option to cancel this Lease upon forty-five (45) days prior written

                                       14
<PAGE>
notice to Landlord.

ENTRY

     16. Landlord may enter the Premises at reasonable hours and upon reasonable
verbal request to show the Premises to mortgagees, or prospective purchasers, or
prospective tenants only during the last twelve (12) months of the term, or to
inspect the Premises, or to make repairs required of Landlord under the terms
hereof or repairs to adjoining space within the Building. Such entry by Landlord
shall not entitle Tenant to any rent abatement, unless such entry by Landlord

SUBORDINATION

     18. (a) This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all security deeds
which may now or hereafter affect this Lease or the real property of which the
Premises form a part, and also to all renewals, modifications, extensions,
consolidations and replacements of such underlying security deeds. In
confirmation of the subordination set forth in this Paragraph 18, Tenant shall,
within fifteen (15) business days after written request of Landlord or the
holder of any security deed, execute and deliver such further instruments as may
be reasonably requested by any holder of an underlying security deed.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 18, Tenant shall, at the
request of any holder of a security deed, mortgage or other lien affecting this
Lease of the real property of which the Premises form a part, be bound to any
such holder which succeeds to Landlord's interest through foreclosure or
otherwise under all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease for the
term remaining, and Tenant shall promptly attorn to such succeeding party as its
Landlord under this Lease, providing that such successor to Landlord shall have
executed a subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment agreement similar to
Exhibit "D". Tenant agrees that should any succeeding party require a separate
attornment agreement regarding matters covered by this Lease, then Tenant shall
enter into any such attornment agreement, provided it does not otherwise modify
this Lease and has no adverse effect upon Tenant's continued occupancy of the
Premises. Landlord hereby advises Tenant that as of the date of execution
hereof, the real property of which the Premises is a part is encumbered by and
subject to a deed to secure debt. Landlord agrees to cause the document similar
to Exhibit "D" to be signed by Landlord's lender within sixty (60) days after
the date of this Lease. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained
in this paragraph 18, in no event sha ll this Lease be subject and sub ordinate
to any future security deed, mortgage or lien unless the holder thereof provides
an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, agreeing
to recognize this Lease and Tenant's rights thereunder in the event of a
foreclosure.

     (b) If Tenant shall not be in default beyond any applicable notice or grace
period, Tenant shall have the right to peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy
the full possession and use of the Premises, subject, however, to the terms of
this Lease. Landlord agrees to take reasonable steps to cause any noises, odors
or other similar occurrences originating in portions of the Building other than
the Premises from disturbing Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant
acknowledges that certain levels of noise and certain odors are unavoidable
consequences of occupying space in a multi-tenant office building. Tenant
acknowledges further that the construction of improvements on floors adjacent to
the Premises will occur from time to time during the Term and that such
construction will result in noise which Tenant may

                                       15
<PAGE>
find unpleasant. Landlord nevertheless agrees to take such actions as are taken
by the owners of comparable buildings in the Market to cause construction
activities to be conducted in such a way as to minimize the disruption of
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises.

INDEMNITY/ HOLD HARMLESS

     19. Tenant hereby on behalf of itself and any party holding by, through or
under Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its agents,
contractors and employees in the following manner:

     holding by, through or under Tenant for any and all damages, costs, claims
     of liabilities of whatsoever nature sustained by Landlord or any party
     holding by, through or under Landlord as a result of such default or
     failure.

          (b) Against any and all claims, damages, losses and liabilities,
     whatsoever their nature, cause or origin, attributable in any manner to the
     negligence of Tenant, or Tenant's agents, contractors, employees or to the
     use and occupancy of the Premises or the Building by Tenant, its agents,
     contractors, employees, licensees or invitees.

          (c) Against any and all damage or injury to the Premises caused by
     Tenant, or Tenant's agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees,
     to Tenant's own property, to Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees,
     invitees or licensees arising from any use or condition of the Premises,
     and from any act or failure by Tenant with respect thereto.

          (d) Against any and all damages to Tenant of whatever nature resulting
     from or caused by the condition of the Premises, or the Building and/or
     cessation of operations or malfunction of any equipment or apparatus
     serving the Premises or the Building.

          (e) Against any and all losses or damages to any person or property of
     Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, invitees or licensees
     occasioned by fire, act of God, public enemy, injunction, riot, strike,
     insurrection, war, court order, requisition, or order of governmental body
     or authority, or other matters beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.

          (f) Notwithstanding the terms of subparagraph (a) through (e) above,

     committed by Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees, and (ii) those
     claims included within the waiver of subrogation contained in Paragraph 21
     below. Notwithstanding the terms of subparagraphs (a) through (e) above,
     Landlord hereby and on behalf of itself and any party holding by, through
     or under Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant, its agents,
     contractors and employees from any and all loss, damage, liability, cost
     and expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and
     court costs) incurred by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees,
     invitees or licensees resulting from Landlord's default under the terms of
     this Lease or from acts of negligence or willful misconduct committed by
     Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees. Under no circumstances
     shall Tenant or Landlord be deemed liable or responsible for and shall not
     be required to indemnify the other for the acts, negligent or otherwise, of
     other tenants of the Building or the Property.

          (g) Tenant's obligation in Paragraph 20 shall be secured by a
     $5,000,000 liability insurance policy covering this obligation issued by a

     or qualified self-insurance. Landlord will be named as an additional
     insured as Landlord's interests may appear. Upon written request, Tenant
     shall deliver to Landlord a certificate evidencing such coverages. Such
     insurance policies shall provide for no cancellation or material adverse
     alteration without 10 day's prior written notice to Landlord.

FIRE AND EXTENDED INSURANCE COVERAGE

     20. Tenant shall carry fire and extended coverage insurance insuring its
interest in Tenant's improvements in the Premises and its interest in its office
furniture, equipment and supplies therein. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days
following notice from Landlord, deposit with Landlord the policy or policies of
such insurance or a certificate or certificates thereof. The instrument or

WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

     21. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and
Tenant hereby waive and release each other, and their respective partners,
agents and employees, of and from any and all rights of recovery, claim, action
or cause of action against each other, their agents, officers and employees, for
any injury or death or any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, the
Building or any of the contents thereof, to the extent that such loss or damage
is covered by the insurance carried by Landlord and Tenant hereunder (or if
either Landlord or Tenant defaults in its obligation to carry insurance pursuant
to the terms of paragraphs 19 or 20 above, to the extent that such loss or
damage does not result from negligence or intentional misconduct of the party
being released and such loss would have been covered under the policies required
to be carried pursuant to paragraph 19 or 20 above taking into account any
so-called "deductibles") and regardless of cause or origin, including but not
limited to negligence of Landlord or Tenant or their agents, officers and
employees. Because this paragraph will preclude the assignment of any claim
mentioned in it by way of subrogation or otherwise to an insurance company, each
party to this Lease agrees immediately to give to each insurance company which
has issued to it policies of insurance covering all risk of direct physical loss
written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this paragraph,
and to use its reasonable good faith efforts to have the insurance policies
properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance
coverages by reason of the mutual waiver contained in

                                       17
<PAGE>
this section. If despite using its good faith efforts, either party is unable to
obtain such an endorsement, such party shall promptly provide written notice of
such failure to the other party. In such event, the waiver and release granted
above by the party unable to obtain such endorsement shall not apply unti l such
tim e as such endorsement is provided.

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the waivers and releases set forth in this
paragraph are intended to result in any loss or damage which is required to be
covered by insurance pursuant to the terms of this Lease being borne by the
insurance carrier of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be.

LANDLORD'S AND TENANT'S RIGHTS

     22. The rights given to Landlord and Tenant herein are in addition to any
rights that may be given to Landlord by any statute or otherwise.

     24. (a) The failure of either party to insist in any instance on strict

agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder
during the period such party has possession of the land and the Building. Should
the land and the entire Building be severed as to ownership by sale and or

mechanical, and plumbing no later than SEE EXHIBIT "E". Landlord's architect
shall complete the Tenant Improvement Plans by SEE EXHIBIT "E". Tenant shall

Improvement Plans within five (5) business days of receipt thereof. In the event
Tenant fails to respond to Landlord within such five (5) business day period,

Building Architect, Lyman, Davidson, Dooly, Inc. shall be paid from the Tenant
Improvement Allowance ten cents per square foot (usable) to verify that Tenant
Improvement plans coordinate with the Base Building design.

     (d) Landlord agrees to obtain bids as to the cost of construction of the
work depicted in the Tenant Improvement Plans from Abel Construction, Structured
Services and Ordnor Construction. Landlord agrees to award the contract for
tenant improvements to the contractor of Tenant's choice, regardless of whether
such contractor is the lowest bidder, provided such contractor executes a
commercially reasonable construction contract consistent with Landlord's
obligations hereunder. Landlord shall not receive any construction management
fees or other compensation relating to the construction of the tenant
improvements, nor shall there be any chargebacks against the Tenant Improvement
Allowance in connection with the Base Building Work, except for demising walls
and doors as stated in paragraph 38(a), above. If the estimated cost of

          (iii) If needed by Tenant, purchase capacity in Landlord's
     generator for emergency power back-up to communication and

of five (5) years on the same terms and conditions as set forth herein except
that (i) Base Rental shall be at a rate of Mansell 100 & 200, and (ii) the
Rental Adjustment shall be 3% and (iii) Paragraph 38 shall not be operative.

     (b) Tenant shall exercise its Renewal Options by providing written notice
to Landlord no later than one (1) year prior to the expiration of the Term.

CODE COMPLIANCE 

     41. The Building shall be constructed to meet the local and state building
codes and ordinances in effect as of September 1, 1996, the date when the
Building was permitted for construction. The Building shall also comply with the
most prevalent interpretations of the American Disabilities Act (ADA) by the
Building Architect, Lyman Davidson Dooley, Inc as of September 1, 1995. Tenant
and Landlord acknowledge that the ADA is not an explicit building code or
ordinance and is subject to various, and possibly, contradictory
interpretations. Subsequent to the Commencement Date Tenant shall be responsible
for the Premises complying with ADA.

FORCE MAJEURE

     42. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be deemed to be in default of this
Lease if such default is due to acts of God, acts of the public enemy, acts of
governmental authority, or any other circumstances which are not within the
parties' respective control ("Force Majeure"); provided, that this provision
shall not apply to failures by either party to pay their respective monetary
obligations under this Lease.

PARTIES BOUND

     43. The preparation and submission of a draft of this lease by either party
to the other party shall not constitute an offer, nor shall either party be
bound to any terms of this Lease or the entirety of this Lease, until both
parties have fully executed a final document and an original signature document
has been received by both parties. Until such time as described in the previous
sentence, either party is free to terminate negotiations without any obligation
to the other party.

LANDLORD'S DEFAULT 

     44. Events of Default by Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be
the situations where Landlord shall fail to comply with any term, provision or
covenant of this Lease and shall not commence to cure such failure within 30
days after written notice thereof and diligently and in good faith continue to
cure the default until completion. If the default cannot reasonably be cured
within such 30 days period, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord
commences to cure the default within the 30 days period and diligently and in
good faith continues to cure the default until completion. Pursuit of any of the
remedies available to Tenant after an Event of Default by Landlord shall not
preclude pursuit of any other remedies in this Lease or applicable law, nor
shall pursuit of any remedy constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any payment due
to Tenant. No waiver by Tenant of any violation or breach of any of the terms,
provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to
constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms,
provisions and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Tenant to enforce one
or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of Default by Landlord
shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation
or default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be responsible for
any consequential, indirect, speculative or punitive damages of Tenant.
