conditions:

                                    ARTICLE I

                                 GRANT AND TERM

         1.01     Leased Premises. Landlord demises and leases to Tenant, and
Tenant rents from Landlord, the real property described on Exhibit "A" attached
hereto and incorporated herein and the buildings, improvements, cranes and air
compressors located thereon (collectively, the "Leased Premises"), located in
Lenexa, Johnson County, Kansas ("State").

         1.02     Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a period of three
hundred sixty-four (364) days, commencing on April 1, 2000 (the "Commencement
Date") and expiring at 12:01 a.m. on March 30, 2001.

         1.03     Acceptance of Leased Premises. The parties acknowledge that
Tenant is thoroughly familiar with the condition of the Leased Premises. For
this reason, the occupancy by Tenant shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the
Leased Premises "AS IS" without warranty or representation.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                      RENT

         2.01     Minimum Monthly Rental. In addition to the other provisions
contained herein, minimum rental shall be payable to Landlord in monthly
installments of Thirty-nine Thousand two hundred sixty-seven and 36/100 Dollars
($39,267.36) in advance, without demand, setoff or deduction, on the first (1st)
day of each and every month throughout the Lease term and should be delivered to
Lenexa Alden, LLC, c/o Coulson & Company, 3520 W. 75th St., Ste. 201, Prairie
Village, Kansas 66208, Attn: Fred N. Coulson, III, or at such other place
designated by Landlord. Minimum rental for any fractional month shall be
prorated and payable in advance. In the event that Tenant takes possession of
the Leased Premises prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord a
pro rata share of the above-described Minimum Monthly Rental for each day Tenant
is in possession.

         2.02     Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the term of this
Lease as additional rent, the real estate taxes and special taxes and
assessments (collectively, the "taxes") attributable to the Leased Premises.
Landlord shall bill Tenant for said taxes on a monthly basis, based on
one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated annual amount for taxes and Tenant shall pay
said costs for taxes on a monthly basis, together with Tenant's payment of
monthly minimum rent. Landlord agrees to supply to Tenant, upon written request,
a copy of the prior assessment bill of any governmental agencies owed tax. Taxes
for any fractional calendar year during the term hereof shall be prorated. In
the event Tenant does not make said payment monthly, Tenant shall be in default
of this Lease. Additionally, with respect to taxes:

                  (a)      Right to Contest Taxes. Landlord may, at its expense,
         contest any and all such real estate taxes. If the result of any such
         contest shall be a reduction in the amount of the real estate taxes so
         contested, that portion of each refund or recovery from the taxing
         authorities with respect to such real estate taxes which is in the same
         proportion of the total refund or recovery as Tenant's share of taxes,
         shall belong to Tenant, and the balance shall belong to Landlord. If
         Landlord shall contest the amount of any such real estate taxes without
         participation by Tenant in

                                       1

<PAGE>

         the cost and expenses of such proceedings, each refund or recovery from
         the taxing authorities with respect to such real estate taxes shall
         belong to Landlord unless Tenant shall promptly after receiving notice
         from Landlord of such refund or recovery reimburse Landlord its
         proportionate share of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
         such proceedings.

                  (b)      Municipal, County. State or Federal Taxes. Tenant
         shall pay, before delinquency, all municipal, county and state or
         federal taxes assessed against any leasehold interest of Tenant or any
         fixtures, furnishings, equipment, stock-in-trade or other personal
         property of any kind owned, installed or used in or on the Leased
         Premises.

                  (c)      Real Estate Tax. Real estate tax means: (i) any fee,
         license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax,
         levy, charge, assessment, penalty or tax imposed by any taxing
         authority against the Leased Premises; (ii) any tax or charge for fire
         protection, streets, sidewalks, road maintenance, refuse or other
         services provided to the Leased Premises by any governmental agency;
         (iii) any tax imposed upon this transaction, or based upon a
         reassessment of the Leased Premises due to a change in ownership or
         transfer of all or part of Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises;
         and (iv) any charge or fee replacing any tax previously included within
         the definition of real property tax.

         2.03     Late Charge - Interest on Delinquent Rent. If, on more than
one occasion during any year of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall fail to pay
when due any minimum rent provided herein, then beginning on the second such
occasion and each occasion thereafter during the year in question, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord a "late charge" of three cents ($.03) for each dollar so overdue
to defray part of the cost of collection. In addition, all delinquent minimum
rent shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the lesser of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, from the due
date of such payment and shall constitute additional rent payable by Tenant
under this Lease and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.

                                   ARTICLE III

                          CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY TENANT

         3.01     Use of Premises. Tenant shall use the Leased Premises solely
for the purpose of general office, warehousing, distribution, manufacturing and
servicing purposes, and for no other business or purpose without the prior
written consent of Landlord.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                          ALTERATIONS, LIENS AND SIGNS

         4.01     Alterations. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior
written consent, either make or cause to be made any alterations, including
additions and improvements, to the Leased Premises or to any exterior signs,
shades, or awnings. Consent shall include approval of Tenant's plans and
contractors. Any alterations, additions or improvements consented to by the
Landlord shall be made at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant shall provide its own
trash containers for construction debris; use service entrances to the Leased
Premises, if any; conduct no core drillings during business hours; and disrupt
occupants of adjoining properties as little as possible. Tenant shall secure any
and all governmental permits, approvals, or authorizations required in
connection with any such work and shall hold Landlord harmless from any and, all
liability, costs, damages, expenses (including attorneys' fees) and liens
resulting therefrom. All alterations (expressly including all light fixtures and
floor coverings, except trade fixtures, appliances and equipment that do not
become a part of the Leased Premises), shall immediately become the property of
the Landlord unless Landlord shall, at its option, require that Tenant remove
the same at the expiration of the Lease term, in which event Tenant shall
restore the Leased Premises to its prior condition. In making

                                       2

<PAGE>

any such alterations, Tenant agrees that Tenant is not the agent of Landlord.
Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with "as built"
plans, copies of all construction contracts, and proof of payment for all labor
and materials.

         4.02     Tenant Shall Discharge All Liens. Tenant shall promptly pay
its contractors and materialmen for all work done and performed by or on behalf
of Tenant, so as to prevent the assertion or imposition of liens upon or against
the Leased Premises, and shall, upon request provide Landlord with lien waivers,
and should any such lien be asserted or filed, Tenant shall bond against or
discharge the same within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord. In
the event Tenant fails to remove said lien within said ten (10) days, Landlord
may at its sole option elect to satisfy and remove the lien by paying the full
amount claimed or otherwise, without investigating the validity thereof, and
Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand the amount paid out by Landlord in
Tenant's behalf, including Landlord's costs and expenses with interest or Tenant
shall be in default hereunder. Landlord's election to discharge liens as
provided hereunder shall not be construed to be a waiver or cure of Tenant's
default hereunder.

         4.03     Signs, Awnings and Canopies. Tenant will not, without
Landlord's prior written consent, place or suffer to be placed or maintained
upon the roof or on any exterior door, wall, or window of the Leased Premises,
any sign, or advertising matter or other thing of any kind except such signs or
advertising matter that are on the building as of the date hereof. All signs, or
other thing so installed by Tenant shall at all times be maintained by Tenant,
at its expense, in good condition and repair.

                                    ARTICLE V

               MAINTENANCE OF LEASED PREMISES, SURRENDER AND RULES

         5.01     Net Lease. It is the intention of the parties and they hereby
agree that this shall be an absolutely net Lease, and the Landlord shall have no
obligation to provide any services, perform any acts or pay any expenses,
charges, obligations or costs of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Leased
Premises, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay one hundred percent (100%) of any and
all Operating Expenses as hereafter defined for the entire term of the Lease in
accordance with specific provisions hereinafter set forth. The term "Operating

the Leased Premises being upgraded to a condition better than the condition of
the Leased Premises on the date hereof. It is specifically understood and agreed
that Landlord shall have no obligation to expend any monies with regard to the
Leased Premises during the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof.

          5.02    Surrender of Premises. At the expiration of the tenancy hereby
created, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Leased Premises, including all
alterations, additions, improvements, decorations, and repairs made thereto (but

<PAGE>

owned by Tenant, any free standing signs, any power wiring or power panels;
lighting or lighting fixtures; wall coverings; drapes, blinds or other window
coverings; carpets or other floor coverings; or other similar building operating
equipment and decorations), broom clean and in good condition and repair,
reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall remove all its property not
required to be surrendered to Landlord before surrendering the Leased Premises
as aforesaid, and shall repair any damage to the Leased Premises caused thereby.
Any personal property remaining in the Leased Premises at the expiration of the
lease period shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may claim the same
and shall in no circumstances have any liability to Tenant therefor.

         5.03     Roof During the term of this Lease, Tenant shall be
responsible for the maintenance and repair of the roof system of the building.
Tenant acknowledges that as of the Commencement Date, the roof system contains
the following problem areas: (i) the membrane adhesion to the perimeter edge
trim has failed; (ii) the membrane is losing its adhesion to the insulation;
(iii) several areas of ponding water exist on the roof; (iv) the gutter is too
small to collect water that comes off of the roof; and (v) the expansion joint
requires repair because fasteners are backing out of the flashing.

Tenant acknowledges the above-described problems and agrees to initiate a
maintenance program and to correct the above problems prior to the expiration of
the term of this Lease. Upon the expiration of the term of this Lease, the roof
should be returned to Landlord in reasonably weather tight condition with
above-described problems having been repaired to Landlord's reasonable
satisfaction.

          5.04    Miscellaneous.

                  (a)      Tenant shall not permit on the Leased Premises any
         act or practice which is unlawful, immoral, or which might injure the
         reputation of the Leased Premises.

                  (b)      Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises free and clear
         of rodents, bugs and vermin.

         refuse to accumulate around the exterior of the Leased Premises. Tenant
         shall not burn any trash, rubbish or garbage in or about the Leased
         Premises, except in a sanitary and inoffensive manner inside the Leased
         Premises or in screened areas approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall
         cause the same to be removed at reasonable intervals.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                             INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

         6.01     Property Insurance. Throughout the term of this Lease and any
extensions thereof, Tenant shall obtain and pay for fire and extended coverage
insurance for the building and other improvements on the Leased Premises, with a
comprehensive "all risk" endorsements, as well as a loss of rental and vandalism
endorsement, and shall show the Landlord as the named insured thereon with
Landlord's lender as an additional named insured therein. Tenant shall at all
times keep such insurance in force and provide Landlord with copies of
certificates evidencing said coverage. The policies shall be in form and content
as reasonably required by Landlord and shall be issued by an insurance company
reasonably approved by Landlord. It is understood and Tenant agrees that such
policy(s) shall provide for full replacement cost coverage and that such amount
of coverage shall be subject to increase at least annually so as to provide full
insured hazard or risk loss coverage and as otherwise may be reasonably
determined by Landlord. If Tenant fails to keep said insurance in effect, then
Landlord may, but shall not be required to, immediately obtain insurance
coverage as provided for herein. In the event that the insurance required to be
maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Section shall be insufficient to fully
repair and restore the Leased Premises, Tenant shall upon demand, regardless of
whether Landlord shall elect or be required to repair or restore

                                       4

<PAGE>

the Leased Premises, pay to Landlord the difference between the insurance
proceeds payable on account of such casualty and the cost of completing the full
repair and restoration of the Leased Premises.

         6.02     Waiver of Subrogation. Each of the parties hereto does hereby
release the other party hereto from all liability for damage due to any act or
neglect of the other party (except as hereinafter provided) occasioned to
property owned by said parties which is or might be incident to or the result of
a fire or any other peril which either of the parties is now carrying or
hereafter may carry insurance; provided, however, that the releases herein
contained shall not apply to any loss or damage occasioned by the willful acts
of either of the parties hereto. The parties further covenant that any insurance
obtained on their respective properties shall contain an appropriate provision
whereby the insurance company or companies consent(s) to the mutual release of
liability contained in this paragraph.

         6.03     Liability Insurance. Tenant shall, during the entire term
hereof, keep in full force and effect a policy of public liability and property
damage insurance with respect to the Leased Premises and the business operated
by Tenant and permitted subtenants of Tenant in the Leased Premises in which the
limits of coverage shall be $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily and/or personal
injuries, and in which the coverage for property damage liability shall be
$1,000,000 or a combined single limit of $2,000,000 per occurrence and in the
annual aggregate. The policy shall be in form reasonably approved by Landlord,
shall name Landlord and Tenant as named insureds, and shall contain a clause
that the insurer will not cancel, materially modify or fail to renew the
insurance without first giving Landlord thirty (30) days' prior written notice.
The insurance shall be issued by an insurance company, reasonably approved by
Landlord, and a copy of a certificate of insurance shall be delivered to
Landlord. The policy shall insure Tenant's performance of the indemnity
provisions below.

         6.04     Indemnification of Landlord. Tenant will protect, indemnify,
defend and save harmless Landlord, its agents and servants, from and against any
and all claims, actions, damages, suits, judgments, decrees, orders, liability
and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) in
connection with (i) any accident, loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to
property arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon or about the Leased
Premises, or in the occupancy or use by Tenant of the Leased Premises or any
part thereof, or (ii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of
any materials or other property on or to the Leased Premises or any part
thereto, occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its
agents, contractors, employees, servants, sublessees, or concessionaires, unless
the same be caused by the willful misconduct of Landlord. In case any such
action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against Landlord by reason of any
such occurrence, Tenant, upon Landlord's request, will at Tenant's expense
resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the same to be
defended by counsel, reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The obligations of
Tenant as aforesaid shall survive the termination of this Lease.

         6.05     Worker's Compensation. Tenant shall maintain worker's
compensation insurance in accordance with the requirements of Kansas law.

         6.06     Additional Rent. If Tenant shall not comply with its covenants
made in this Article VI, Landlord may cause insurance as aforesaid to be issued,
in such event Tenant agrees to pay, as additional rent, the premium for such
insurance upon Landlord's demand.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                    UTILITIES

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                PRIORITY OF LEASE

         8.01     Subordination. Landlord shall have the right to transfer,
mortgage, assign, pledge, and convey in whole or in part the Leased Premises,
this Lease and all rights of Landlord existing and to exist, and rents and
amounts payable to it under the provisions hereof, and nothing herein contained
shall limit or restrict any such right, and the rights of the Tenant under this
Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all instruments executed and to be
executed in connection with the exercise of any such right of the Landlord,
including, but not limited to, the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or
security agreement now or hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises and to all
renewals or modifications thereof. Said subordination shall not require the
agreement or consent of Tenant, but Tenant covenants and agrees, if requested,
to execute and deliver upon demand such further instruments subordinating this
Lease to the lien of any such mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement as
shall be requested by the Landlord and/or any mortgagee, proposed mortgagee or
holder of any security agreement. Notwithstanding anything set out in this Lease
to the contrary, in the event the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust elects
to have this Lease superior to its mortgage or deed of trust, then, upon Tenant
being notified to that effect by such encumbrance holder, this Lease shall be
deemed prior to the lien of said mortgage or deed of trust, whether this Lease
is adopted prior to or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or deed of trust.

         8.02     Notice to Landlord of Default. In the event of any act or
omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease
or claim a partial or total eviction, or make any claim against Landlord for the
payment of money, Tenant will not make such claim or exercise such right until
it has given written notice of such act or omission to:

                  (a)      the Landlord; and

                  (b)      the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other
         security instrument as to whom Landlord has instructed Tenant to give
         copies of all of Tenant's notices to Landlord; and

after thirty (30) days shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice,
during which such parties or any of them has not commenced diligently to remedy
such act or omission or to cause the same to be remedied. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to create any rights in Tenant not specifically
granted in this Lease or under applicable provisions of law.

         8.03     Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees, at any time, and from
time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days' prior notice by Landlord, to
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, a statement in writing addressed
to Landlord or other party designated by Landlord certifying that this Lease is
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), stating the
actual commencement and expiration dates of the lease, stating the dates to
which rent, and other charges, if any, have been paid, that the lease term has
commenced, Tenant is occupying the Leased Premises and is open for business, and
stating whether or not there exists any default by either party in the
performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition contained
in this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signer may
have knowledge and the claims or offsets, if any, claimed by the Tenant, it
being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied
upon by Landlord or a purchaser of Landlord's interest and by any mortgagee or
prospective mortgagee of any mortgage affecting the Leased Premises. Tenant
shall also, on ten (10) days written notice, provide an agreement in favor of
and in the form customarily used by such encumbrance holder, by the terms of
which Tenant will agree to give prompt written notice to any such encumbrance
holder in the event of any casualty damage to the Leased Premises or in the
event of any default on the part of Landlord under this Lease, and will agree to
allow such encumbrance holder

                                       6

a reasonable length of time after notice to cure or cause the curing of such
default before exercising Tenant's right of self-help under this Lease, if any,
or terminating or declaring a default under this Lease.

         8.04     Attornment. At the option of the holder of any mortgage
affecting the Leased Premises, Tenant agrees that no foreclosure of a mortgage
affecting the Leased Premises, nor the institution of any suit, action, summary
or other proceeding against the Landlord herein, or any successor Landlord, or
any foreclosure proceeding brought by the holder of any such mortgage to recover
possession of such property, shall by operation of law or otherwise result in
cancellation or termination of this Lease or the obligations of the Tenant
hereunder, and upon the request of the holder of any such mortgage, Tenant
covenants and agrees to execute an instrument in writing satisfactory to such
party or parties or to the purchaser of the mortgaged Leased Premises in
foreclosure whereby Tenant attorns to such successor in interest.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                            ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

         9.01     Consent Required. Tenant shall not voluntarily or
involuntarily assign, transfer or encumber this Lease in whole or in part, nor
sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises without following the procedures
detailed herein and the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease without Landlord's
consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from the merger or
consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires
substantially all of the assets of Tenant, provided that such assignee assumes,
in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to
any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for
such consent in any subsequent assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding any
assignment or sublease, Tenant shall remain fully liable on this Lease and shall
not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions
hereof.

         Landlord shall have the right to sell, convey, encumber, transfer or
assign all or any part of its interest in the Leased Premises or its interest in
this Lease. All covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall
cease upon the execution of such conveyance, transfer or assignment, but such
covenants and obligations shall run with the land and shall be binding upon the
subsequent owner or owners thereof or of this Lease.

                                    ARTICLE X

                       WASTE, GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AND

                              HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

         10.01    Waste or Nuisance. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be
committed any waste upon the Leased Premises or any nuisance or other act or
thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of occupants of adjoining
properties.

         10.02    Governmental Regulations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, comply with all of the requirements of all county, municipal, state,
federal and other applicable governmental authorities, now in force or which may
hereafter be in force, including but not limited to all applicable federal,
state and local laws pertaining to air and water quality, hazardous waste, waste
disposal, air emissions and other environmental matters and rules, regulations
and ordinances of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and all
other applicable federal, state and local agencies and bureaus.

         10.03    Hazardous Substances. Except for those substances used and/or
generated by Tenant during the time Tenant owned the Leased Premises, Tenant
shall not, without Landlord's written consent, keep any substances designated
as, or containing components designated as hazardous, dangerous, toxic or
harmful, and/or subject to regulations under any federal, state or local law,
regulations or ordinance on or around the Leased Premises. Tenant shall not
install any underground storage tanks on the Leased Premises without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole
discretion. Tenant shall be fully and completely liable to Landlord and shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all
government-required cleanup costs and any and all other charges, fees (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) or penalties relating to the use, disposal,
transportation, generation or sale of hazardous substances by Tenant on the
Leased Premises.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                         DESTRUCTION OF LEASED PREMISES

         11.01    Total or Partial Destruction. If the Leased Premises shall be
partially or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty insurable under full
standard fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, so as to come partially
or totally untenantable, the same (unless Tenant shall elect not to rebuild as
hereinafter provided) shall be repaired and restored by and at the cost of
Tenant so long as Landlord and Landlord's lender make all casualty insurance
proceeds available to Tenant for said construction, and a just and proportionate
part of the minimum rent, as provided for hereinafter, shall be abated until the
Leased Premises are so restored.

                  (i)      If more than one-third (1/3) of the total floor
         area of the building on the Leased Premises shall be destroyed or
         damaged by fire or other casualty, and if the unexpired portion of the
         term of this Lease shall be two (2) years or less at the date of the
         damage, or (ii) if Landlord or its lender refuse or are unable to make
         casualty insurance proceeds available to Tenant, then Tenant may elect
         not to repair or rebuild by giving written notice within sixty (60)
         days after such occurrence (or Landlord or its lender's election not to
         make casualty insurance proceeds available) of its election to
         terminate this Lease; otherwise, Tenant shall proceed with such
         reconstruction by and at the cost of Tenant with reasonable speed after
         such occurrence.

         11.02    Abatement of Rent. In the event that Tenant shall exercise the
right given heretofore to terminate, then this Lease and the terms hereof shall
cease as of the date of such damage or destruction, and all rent or other
charges payable by Tenant shall be prorated to the date of such damage or
destruction. In the event that this Lease is not canceled and Tenant has
maintained loss of rental insurance pursuant to Section 6.01 of this Lease, then
the minimum rent shall be abated or reduced proportionately during any period in
which the Leased Premises are rendered wholly or partially untenantable to the
extent such damage or destruction shall interfere with the operation of Tenant's
business in the Leased Premises and to the extent of coverage for such loss of
rent under the applicable insurance. Such abatement or reduction shall continue
for the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with
Landlord's substantial completion of such work or repair or restoration as
Tenant is obligated or elects to do, as the case may be, and as in this Article
provided.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                                 EMINENT DOMAIN

         12.01    Total Condemnation. If the whole of the Leased Premises shall
be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or
purpose, or be conveyed in lieu of any such taking, or if a part of the Leased
Premises shall be so acquired or condemned, and if such partial taking or
acquisition renders the Leased Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant,
then the term of

                                       8

<PAGE>

this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of the transfer of title and
all rentals shall be paid up to that date.

         12.02    Partial Condemnation. In the event of a partial taking, or
conveyance of the Leased Premises in lieu thereof, which is not extensive enough
to render the Leased Premises unsuitable for the business of Tenant, the
Landlord to the extent possible shall promptly restore the Leased Premises to a
condition comparable to its condition immediately prior to such taking (less the
portion lost in the taking), and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. In such case minimum rent shall be abated on a fair and equitable basis
to the extent only of any reduction, if any, in the area of the Leased Premises
resulting from such taking and not restored.

         12.03    Damages. In the event of any condemnation, taking, or
conveyance in lieu thereof, as hereinbefore provided, whether whole or partial,
Tenant shall not be entitled to any part of the award or price, as damages or
otherwise, for such condemnation, taking, or conveyance, and Landlord shall
receive and be entitled to the full amount of such award, except to the extent
provided immediately below. Tenant hereby expressly waives any right or claim to
any part thereof and assigns to Landlord its interest therein; provided,
however, that where the taking is such as results in a termination of the Lease
pursuant to other provisions of this Article, that, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be entitled to that portion, if any,
of a separate award made specifically to Tenant in its own name for loss of
Tenant's business or depreciation to and cost of removal of its stock, trade
fixtures and equipment which it is entitled to remove. Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease.

         12.04    Tenant's Damages. To the extent the amount recoverable by
Landlord, as hereinabove set forth, is not diminished thereby, Tenant shall have
the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority (but not from
Landlord) such compensation as may be separately awarded to Tenant in Tenant's
own name and right on account of all damage to Tenant's business by reason of
the condemnation and any cost which Tenant may incur in removing from the Leased
Premises its property.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                DEFAULT OF TENANT

         13.01    Default. The following shall constitute a default or an
"Event of Default" under this Lease:

                  (a)      failure of Tenant to pay any rental or charge due
         hereunder (it being understood that Tenant's obligation to pay any
         rental herein is an independent covenant and that Tenant will pay such
         rental without offset or deduction); or

                  (b)      Tenant's failure to perform any other of the terms,
         conditions or covenants of this Lease to be observed or performed by
         Tenant for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof;
         provided Tenant has not commenced diligently to remedy such failure; or

                  (c)      if Tenant shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or file
         or have filed against it any bankruptcy proceedings, or take or have
         taken against it in any court pursuant to any statute, either of the
         United States or of any state, a petition of bankruptcy or insolvency,
         or for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee
         of all or a portion of Tenant's property, or if Tenant makes an
         assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions for or enters
         into an arrangement; or

                  (d)      if Tenant shall abandon the Leased Premises, or
         suffer this Lease to be taken under any writ of execution; or

                                       9

<PAGE>

                  (e)      if the Tenant shall default in the timely payment of
         rent, taxes or insurance three times in any twelve month period
         notwithstanding the fact that any such default shall have been cured.

         If any Event of Default occurs the Landlord, besides all such other
rights or remedies it may have hereunder, or in law in equity, shall have the
immediate right to enter the Leased Premises and take possession thereof and of
all permanent improvements thereon and may remove all persons and property from
the Leased Premises by force, summary action, or otherwise, and such property
may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and
for the account of Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal
process, and without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any
loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. Tenant agrees to quit and
deliver up the possession of the Leased Premises, including permanent
improvements to the Leased Premises, when this Lease terminates by limitation or
in any other manner provided for herein.

         13.02    Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs, the Landlord may
elect to reenter, as herein provided, or take possession pursuant to legal
proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for herein, and it may either
terminate this lease, or it may from time to time without terminating this Lease
make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the
Leased Premises and relet said Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term
or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and
at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord
in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such reletting all rentals
received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment
of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord;
second to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including
brokerage fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, and of costs of such alterations
and repairs; third to the payment of the most current rent owed at that time;
and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of
future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder from Tenant. If
such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than that to
be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall be liable for the
payment of such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and
become payable monthly. No such reentry or the taking of possession of the
Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to
terminate this Lease or to accept a surrender thereof unless a written notice of
such intention be given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease
for such previous breach. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for
any Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may
recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including
the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, and the worth at the time of such
termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent
to rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term over the
then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the
stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from
Tenant to Landlord. Any reletting shall be done in such a manner as Landlord may
deem proper, and if Tenant believes Landlord's efforts are not sufficient,
Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing and shall specify in detail such
additional action Landlord should take. Unless such notice is given, Landlord's
efforts to relet shall be deemed to be adequate. In addition to other remedies
available under this Lease, in the event of an occurrence of an Event of Default
or, in the event of a threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or
provisions hereof, Landlord shall have the right of injunction and the right to
invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if reentry, summary proceedings
and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this Lease of any
particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord for any other remedy, in law or in
equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted
by or under any present or future laws in the event Tenant is evicted or
dispossessed for any cause, or in the event Landlord obtains possession of the
Leased Premises. No receipt of monies by Landlord from or for the account of
Tenant or from anyone in possession or occupancy of the Leased Premises after
the termination in any way of this Lease or after the giving of any notice of
termination, shall reinstate, continue or extend the term of this Lease or
affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the

                                       10

<PAGE>

receipt of such money, it being agreed that after the service of notice of
termination or commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of
the Leased Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any rent or other amounts
due Landlord and such payment shall not in any respect reinstate said lease and
shall not waive, affect or impair said notice, said suit or said judgment
without the express written consent of Landlord.

         13.03    Cure of Tenant's Default. In addition to Landlord's remedies
in Section 13.02 above, Landlord shall be entitled, but not obligated, to cure
any default by Tenant, and Tenant agrees to pay, as additional rent, Landlord's
cost of such cure, within ten (10) days after Landlord's written demand.

         13.04    Legal Expenses. If suit shall be brought or claim shall be
made (whether or not suit is commenced or judgment entered) for recovery of
possession of the Leased Premises, and/or the recovery of rent or any other
amount due under provisions of this Lease, or because of the breach of any other
covenant herein contained on the part of the Tenant to be kept or performed, and
the breach shall be established, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to
all other sums and relief available to Landlord, all expenses incurred therefor,
including reasonable attorneys' fees to the maximum extent permitted by law.

         13.05    Failure to Pay; Interest. If Tenant at any time shall fail to
pay any taxes, assessments, or liens, to make any payment or perform any act
required by this Lease to be made or performed by it, Landlord, without waiving
or releasing Tenant from any obligation or default under this Lease, may (but
shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or
perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant. All sums so paid
by Landlord and all costs and expenses so incurred shall accrue interest at a
rate equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the
maximum rate permitted by law, from the date of payment or incurring thereof by
Landlord and shall constitute additional rent payable by Tenant under this lease
and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. All other sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord under this lease, if not paid when due, shall accrue interest
at a rate equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or
the maximum rate permitted by law, from their due date until paid, said interest
to also constitute additional rent under this lease and shall be paid to
Landlord by Tenant upon demand.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                               ACCESS BY LANDLORD

         14.01    Right of Entry. Landlord or Landlord's agents shall have the
right to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times upon reasonable
notice to Tenant to examine the same and to show it to purchasers and to make
such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as Landlord may deem
necessary or desirable, and Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into
and upon said Leased Premises that may be required therefor without the same
constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in part. During the term of this
Lease, Landlord may exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective tenants or
purchasers and place upon the Leased Premises the usual notice "To Let". Nothing
herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord
any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for the care, maintenance
or repair of the building or any part thereof, except as otherwise herein
specifically provided.

                                TENANT'S PROPERTY

         15.01    Taxes on Leasehold. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall
pay before delinquency all municipal, county, or state taxes assessed during the
term of this Lease against any leasehold interest or personal property of any
kind owned by or placed in, upon, or about the Leased Premises by Tenant.

         15.02    Loss and Damage. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury
or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling
plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or snow, or leaks from any part of
the Leased Premises, or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works, or from
the roof, street or subsurface, or from any other place, or by dampness or by
any other cause of whatsoever nature, and whether originating in the Leased
Premises or elsewhere. All property of Tenant kept or stored on the Leased
Premises shall be so kept or stored at the risk of the Tenant only, and Tenant
hereby holds Landlord harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the
same, including subrogation claims by Tenant's insurance carriers, a waiver of
which shall be obtained in advance by Tenant.

         15.03    Notice by Tenant. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord
in case of fire or accidents, or damage to or of defects in the Leased Premises
or in the building of which the Leased Premises are a part.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

                            HOLDING OVER; SUCCESSORS

         16.01    Holding Over. Any holding over after the expiration of the
term hereof, with the consent of Landlord, shall be construed to be a tenancy
from month to month at the rents herein specified (prorated on a monthly basis)
and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified, so far as
applicable provided, however, if such holding over is without the consent of
Landlord, minimum rent for such holdover period shall be at 110% of the minimum
rent due for the last month of the lease term and shall otherwise be on the
terms and conditions herein specified. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against
loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased
Premises, including without limitation claims made by the succeeding tenant
founded on such delay. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this covenant
shall survive the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease.

         16.02    Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise herein provided,
this Lease and all the covenants, terms, provisions and conditions herein
contained shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns of each party hereto, and all covenants
herein contained shall run with the land and bind any and all successors in
title to Landlord. No rights shall inure to the benefit of any assignee or
subtenant of Tenant unless the assignment or subletting to such assignee or
subtenant has been made in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof.

                                  ARTICLE XVII

                                 QUIET ENJOYMENT

         17.01    Landlord's Covenant. Upon payment by Tenant of the rents
herein provided, and upon the observance and performance of all the covenants,
terms and conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Tenant shall
peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the term hereby
demised without hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person or
persons lawfully or equitably claiming by, through, or under Landlord; subject,
nevertheless, to all the terms and conditions of this Lease.

execution of this Lease, has deposited with Landlord the sum of Thirty-nine
Thousand two hundred sixty-seven and 36/100 Dollars ($39,267.36), the receipt of

specifically agrees that any deposit held hereunder by Landlord may be
commingled with any other funds of Landlord.

         20.02    Use and Return of Deposit. Should Tenant fail to keep and
perform any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be kept and
performed by Tenant, and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, as provided
herein, Landlord may appropriate and apply said entire deposit, or so much
thereof as may be necessary, to compensate Landlord for loss or damage sustained
by Landlord due to such breach, without prejudice to its further rights and
remedies.

         Should the entire security deposit, or any portion thereof, be
appropriated and applied by Landlord for the payment of overdue rent or other
sums due from Tenant hereunder, and Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease,
then Tenant shall, upon the written demand of Landlord, forthwith remit to
Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore said deposit to the original sum
deposited. Should Tenant comply with all the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease, the said deposit shall be returned in full to Tenant at the end of
the term of this Lease or upon its earlier termination.

         20.03    Easement. Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord and its
successors and assigns shall be entitled to a perpetual easement under, across,
