based on the number of months of occupancy during each such calendar year.

     a.  Lessee's "proportionate share" is defined for purposes of this Lease as
the ratio of  the total square feet of the Premises leased to Lessee to the

the following for each calendar year:

          i.  All general and special real estate taxes, special assessments and

year by Lessor upon or in respect of the Building and the property of which it
is a part:

          ii.  All costs, charges and expenses payable by Lessor and not
directly reimbursed to Lessor, as hereinafter provided, which are directly
attributable to the operation, repair and maintenance of the Building or Grounds
at ViewPoint, including, but not limited to, janitorial, property management,
security, legal/accounting, provided that if any services are not provided by

service shall be divided by the difference between the net rentable and the
number of square feet in the Building in which Lessor does not provide such
service;

          iii.  All charges for heat, water, gas, electricity, sewer service and
any other utility service used or consumed in the Building or Grounds at

improvements, structural repairs to the Building or Grounds at ViewPoint
required to comply with any change in the laws, or in rules and regulations of
any government or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Building, or to save labor or otherwise reduce applicable operating
expenditures, which costs shall be amortized over the useful life of the
improvement or repair.

          vi.  If normal operation, maintenance and repair shall, in the
judgment of Lessor, require the repair or replacement of an item (such as
carpet, extensive repainting, or the like which item exceeds a cost of $2,000.00
and has a reasonable life expectancy of more than one year the duration of which
life expectancy exceeds the remaining term of this Lease, (including extension
and renewals thereof), then Lessee shall be obligated to pay only its pro-rata
share of that portion of the cost of the item times a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of months remaining in the Lease term and any renewal
options and the denominator of which shall be the useful life expectancy of the
item.

     c.  In determining Operating Costs, the costs of the following shall be
excluded except as specifically provided above:

            i.  Structural maintenance and repair:  Walls and roof.

at the same time and in the same manner as the monthly payment of  the Base
Rent.

4.1  At the end of each lease year, the Base Rent due under the terms of this
Lease shall be adjusted.  Said adjustment is detailed in Addendum One of this
Lease.

4.2  Within Seventy-Five (75) days of the end of each calendar year, Lessor
shall compute the difference between the Operating Costs which Lessee has paid
during the calendar year and Lessee's actual proportionate share of Operating
Costs due and owing for that year and the additional rent based on operating
costs shall be adjusted accordingly.  The adjusted operating costs for the
previous calendar year shall be divided


                                        3

or the calculation of any amount payable, Lessee shall give Lessor written
notice of such dispute within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from
Lessor of the matter giving rise to the dispute.  If Lessee does not give Lessor
such notice within such time, Lessee shall have waived its right to dispute the
determination or calculation.  Promptly after the giving of notice, Lessee shall
cause to be made a complete audit of Lessor's records relating to the matter in
dispute by independent certified public accountants.  The cost of the audit
shall be borne by Lessee unless the audit discloses an error which favors Lessor
by more than 5% of the amount previously determined, in which event Lessor shall
bear the cost of the audit.  If the audit reveals that the amount previously
determined by Lessor was incorrect, a correction shall be made accordingly.
During the pendency of any such dispute, Lessee shall make payments based upon
Lessor's determination or calculation until the dispute has been resolved.

SECTION 5.  TAXES.

painting, altering or dividing of the Premises; combining the Premises with any
adjacent space for any new tenant; putting the same in proper repair; protecting
and preserving the Premises; and reletting the Premises, less any net rental
received from reletting.

16.5  If lessee should fail to remove all effects from the Premises upon
abandonment or upon termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever, Lessor,
at its option, may remove such effects in any manner that it shall choose and
store them without liability to Lessee for loss or damage and Lessee agrees to
pay Lessor on demand any and all expenses incurred in such removal, including
all court costs and attorneys' fees and storage charges on such effects for any
length of time they shall be in Lessor's possession.  Lessor may, at its option,
in the alternative and without notice, sell said effects, at private sale and
without legal process and for such prices as Lessor may obtain and apply the
proceeds of such sale against any amounts due under this Lease from Lessee to
Lessor and against the expenses incident to the removal and sale of said
effects, rendering the surplus, if any, to Lessee.

16.6  Lessee acknowledges that late payments by Lessee to Lessor of rent will
cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of
such cost being extremely difficult and impracticable for fix.  Such costs
include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges
that may be imposed upon Lessor by


                                       11


<PAGE>

the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the
Premises.  Therefore, if any installment of rent due from Lessee is not received
by Lessor within ten (10) days of date due, Lessee shall pay Lessor either
$25.00 or 3% of the overdue payment, whichever shall be greater as a late fee.
In addition, Lessor may collect one tenth(1/10) of one(1) percent per day of any
amount more than thirty(30) days past due, from and after the thirtieth(30) day
payment is due. Such additional payment shall be due immediately upon demand by
Lessor.  The parties agree that this late Fee represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the cost that Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee.
Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee's default
with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Lessor from exercising any of the
other rights and remedies available to Lessor.

16.7  Any suit brought by Lessor to enforce the collection of any amount due
under this article for any one month shall not prejudice Lessor's right to
enforce the collection of any further amount due for any subsequent month.

SECTION 17. HOLDING OVER

If, after the expiration of the term of this Lease, Lessee shall remain in
possession of the leased Premises and continue to pay rent without a written
agreement as to such possession then Lessee shall be deemed to continue in
possession on a month-to-month tenancy.  The rental rate during such holdover
period shall be equivalent to the monthly rental rate paid during the previous
month; plus twenty-five percent (25%).  No holding over by Lessee shall operate
to renew or extend this Lease without the written consent of Lessor.


SECTION 18. QUIET ENJOYMENT

Subject to the terms of this Lease, Lessee, upon paying the Base Rent and
additional rent and performing the other terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease, shall and may peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the Premises during
the term of this Lease.  Lessor shall warrant and defend Lessee in the quiet
enjoyment and possession of the Premises during the term of this Lease.

SECTION 19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

Tenant further agrees at any time and from time to time on or before ten(10)
days after written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord an estoppel certificate certifying (to the extent it believes the same
to be true) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as
modified, and stating the modifications), that there have been no defaults
thereunder by Landlord or tenant (or if there have been defaults, setting forth
the nature thereof), the date to which the rent and other charges have been
paid, if any,


                                       12


<PAGE>

that Tenant claims no present charge, lien, claim or offset against rent, the
rent is not prepaid for more than one month in advance and such other matters as
may be reasonably required by Landlord, Landlord's mortgagee, or any potential
purchaser of the building, it being intended that any such statement delivered
pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of
all or any portion of Landlord's interest herein, or a holder of any mortgage or
deed of trust encumbering any portion of the Building Complex.  Tenant's failure
to deliver such statement within such time shall be a default under this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that tenant does not execute the
statement required by this Paragraph, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a power
of attorney coupled with an interest to act as Landlord's attorney-in-fact for
the purpose of executing such statement or statements required by this
Paragraph.

SECTION 20.  NOTICE PROCEDURE

All notices, demands and requests which may be or are required to be given by
either party to the other shall be in writing.  Any such notice, demand or
request to be given to Lessee shall be deemed to have been properly given if
served on Lessee or an employee of Lessee or sent to Lessee by United States
Registered Mail, Return Receipt Requested, at Lessee's address set forth below
or such other place as Lessee may designate in a written notice to Lessor.  Any
such notice, demand or request to be given to Lessor shall be deemed to have

Lessor by United States Registered Mail, Return Receipt  Requested, at such
other place as Lessor may designate in a written notice to Lessee.  Any notice
given by  mailing shall be effective as of the date of  mailing as shown by the

SECTION 22.  WAIVER

No delay or admission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Lessor on any
default by Lessee shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a

shall not be a waiver of any other present or future default concerning the same
or any other violation of the Lease.

other under this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover for

demonstrates to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction that such Hazardous Material
is necessary or useful to Tenant's business and will be used, kept and stored in
a manner that complies with all laws regulating any such Hazardous Materials so

obligations stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of Hazardous
Material on the Premises caused or permitted by Tenant results in contamination
of the Premises or Building Complex by Hazardous Material otherwise occurs for

Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its agents, employees, legal
representatives, successors and assigns, harmless from any and all claims,
judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities, or losses(including,
without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises and Building Complex,

any amenity of  the Premises or Building Complex, damages arising from any
adverse impact on marketing of space in the Building, and sums paid in
settlement of claims, reasonable attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert
fees) which arise during or after the Lease term as a result of such
contamination.  This indemnification of  Landlord by Tenant includes, without
limitation, such costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site
conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any
federal, state, or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of
Hazardous Material present in or about the Building Complex or the soil or
ground water on or under the Building complex.  Without limiting the foregoing,
if the presence of any Hazardous Material on or about the Building Complex
caused or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of any portion
thereof, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are
necessary to return the Building Complex  to the condition existing prior to the
introduction of any such Hazardous Material, subject to obtaining Landlord's
prior written consent to the actions to be taken by Tenant.  Landlord may
properly require its consent to the selection of the contractors and other
experts involved in the inspection, testing and removal or abatement activities,
the scope of activities to be performed, the manner and method for performance
of such activities and such other matters as may be required or requested by
Landlord for the safety of and continued use of the Building Complex and all
occupants thereof.  The obligations and liabilities of Tenant herein shall
survive expiration or termination of this Lease.
