                  Section 1. Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as BASIC ANNUAL
         RENT for the Leased Premises for each year of the period of February 1,
         1998 through January 31, 2003, the sum of Four Hundred Seventy-Nine
         Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Two Dollars ($479,232.00) which shall be
         paid in equal monthly installments of Thirty-Nine Thousand Three
         Hundred Thirty-Six Dollars and 00/100ths Dollars ($39,336.00), due and
         payable on the first day of each month, in advance. Said rent shall be
         paid to the Landlord, or to the duly authorized agent of the Landlord,
         at its office at 3800 Red Bank Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45227. Checks
         should be made payable to WILMINGTON COMMERCE PARK PARTNERSHIP. Any
         Basic Annual Rent payment not received by the Landlord by the tenth day
         of the month shall be past due. If the commencement date of this Lease
         is other than the first day of the month, any rental adjustment or
         additional rents hereinafter provided for shall be prorated
         accordingly. The Tenant will pay the rent as herein provided, without
         deduction whatsoever, and without any obligation of the Landlord to
         make demand for it. Any installment of rent accruing hereunder and any
         other sum payable hereunder, if not paid within ten days of when due,
         shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum
         until paid. Late Fee. Provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled
         to two (2) written notices from Landlord in a given Lease Year that
         such rent, additional rent or other charge is due and payable within
         five (5) days of Tenant's receipt of such notice before a service
         charge will be assessed. After four (4) such notices have been give to
         Tenant during the term of this Lease then no further notices shall be
         give and Tenant shall pay any service charges as otherwise provided
         herein. The Basic Annual Rent of $479,232.00 shall be adjusted annually
         based on the Consumer Price Index beginning January 1, 1999, the
         adjustment date for that year and each year thereafter, whether during
         the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof. Increases
         in the Basic Annual Rent shall be made in accordance with the following
         procedure:

                  a. The index to be used for this adjustment shall be the
                  Consumer Price Index (North Central Region, All Urban
                  Consumers, All Items, 1982-84 equaling a base of 100, from the
                  U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
                  Washington, D.C.).

                  b. The Consumer Price Index of 1997 for the month of December
                  shall be the "Base Period Consumer Price Index." The Consumer
                  Price Index for the month of December prior to each adjustment
                  date in each adjustment year shall be the "Adjustment Period
                  Consumer Price Index."
<PAGE>   6
                  c. The Base Period Consumer Price Index shall be subtracted
                  from the Adjustment Period Consumer Price Index; the
                  difference shall be divided by the Base Period Consumer Price
                  Index. This quotient shall then be multiplied by the
                  $479,232.00 (Basic Annual Rent amount) and the result shall
                  then be added to the $479,232.00 (Basic Annual Rent amount).
                  The resulting sum shall be the Adjusted Annual Rent for such
                  immediately succeeding leasehold period which shall be paid in
                  equal monthly installments.

                  d. If the said Consumer Price Index is, at any time during the
                  term of this Lease, discontinued by the Government, then the
                  most nearly comparable index shall be substituted for the
                  purpose of the aforesaid calculations.

                  e. The rental amount shall not be increased more than five
                  percent (5%) on any one annual adjustment and shall never be
                  increased more than twenty percent (20%) over the initial rent
                  during the term of this lease.

                  Section 2. Rent Commencement Date: Base Annual Rent shall
         commence February 1, 1998, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that DecisionOne shall
         receive a six-month Rent-Free Period on only the 19,200 square feet of
         additional space running from February 1, 1998 through July 31, 1998.
         For that period, the monthly installment of rent shall be $32,448.00
         each.

                  Section 3. The Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord for the
         costs of water, gas, and electricity, including electricity costs for
         exterior lighting, or any other utilities paid by Landlord in
         connection with the Leased Premises. Said reimbursement shall be
         additional rent due on the first day of the calendar month next
         following rendition of a bill therefor. If any services are separately
         metered, the cost shall be paid directly by the Tenant to the utility
         service. The heating and other utilities except water, not separately
         metered will be prorated on the basis of the square footage serviced by
         a given meter and paid to Landlord as billed. The total cost of water
         shall be paid by Tenant currently in occupancy and costs thereof shall
         be prorated on the basis of square footage occupied by each Tenant (if
         more than one). In the event that any occupant of the building uses a
         disproportionate amount of said utilities, an adjustment shall be made
         so that each tenant pays for their entire share but not a portion of
         the utilities used by other tenants of the building.

                  Section 4. The Tenant agrees to pay any increased real estate
<PAGE>   7
         taxes over and above the real estate taxes paid by the Landlord during
         the first year of the term of this Lease. Said amount shall be deemed
         to be additional rent and shall be due and payable on the first of the
         month following delivery to Tenant of a receipt for Landlord's payment
         of said real estate taxes. The Tenant shall pay its share of expenses
         that the Landlord shall incur by reason of compliance with new laws,
         orders, special rent/use taxes, ordinances and new regulations of
         Federal, State, County and Municipal authorities, and with any lawful
         direction of any public officer or officers, which lawful direction
         shall be imposed upon the Landlord for the common good of the occupants
         of the Airborne Commerce Park. Capital improvement which are the
         responsibility of Landlord shall not be deemed to be prorated to be
         passed through to Tenant hereunder.

                  Section 5. None of the following acts or omissions by the
         Landlord shall in any way affect the payment of the rent at the time
         specified in this Lease; if the Landlord at any time enters into a
         contract for any alterations, additions, repairs or improvements; if
         the Landlord fails to make such alterations, additions, repairs or
         improvements. The Landlord may discontinue all facilities and services
         rendered by it or its agents or contractors that are not expressly
         covenanted for herein; such facilities and services shall constitute no
         part of the consideration for this Lease.

                  Section 6. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of Six
         Thousand Five Hundred Sixty and no/100ths ($6,560.00), as security for
         its performance of its lease of part of Building 2. These funds shall
         continue to be held by Landlord, without interest, and may be
         commingled with Landlord's other funds, as security for the performance
         by Tenant of all the terms and conditions of this Lease. If a default
         should occur, Landlord, at its option, may apply the deposit, in whole
         or in part to cure the default. If any part of the deposit is so
         applied by Landlord, Tenant shall, upon Landlord's request, remit to
         Landlord the amount necessary to restore the full security deposit.
         Tenant's failure to do so within five (5) days after receipt of
         Landlord's demand shall be a default. If at the end of the Lease,
         Tenant is not in default, the security deposit shall be returned to
         Tenant.

         6. RATIFICATION OF EXISTING LEASE TERMS. In all other respects, except
as specifically modified herein all the terms and conditions of the existing
Lease, Addendum, Assignment and Assumption are hereby ratified and confirmed by
the parties hereto.

more counterparts hereof this ____ day of __________________, 1998 as to WCPP

electrical services, loading docks, paved parking areas and other specifications
described in Exhibit A hereto and shall be delivered to the Tenant in Shell

                  Section 2. Landlord will provide, in addition to the above,
one men's and one women's restroom at a total cost not to exceed $15,000. Said
restrooms may be completed before or after delivery of the Leased Premises and
such completion shall not delay Tenant's obligations to pay rent hereunder.

                  Section 3. Pre-Existing Defects: Tenant's acceptance of the
Premises does not extend to any defects which are not readily ascertainable
during the course of Tenant's visual inspection.

         ARTICLE 3. RENT.

                  Section 1. Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as BASIC ANNUAL
RENT for the Leased Premises for each year of the period of February 1, 1996
through January 31, 2001, the sum of Three Hundred Forty-One Thousand One
Hundred Twenty Dollars ($341,120.00) which shall be paid in equal monthly
installments of Twenty-Eight Thousand Four Hundred Twenty-Six Dollars and
66/100ths Dollars ($28,426.66), due and payable on the first day of each month,
in advance. Said rent shall be paid to the Landlord, or to the duly authorized
agent of the Landlord, at its office at 3800 Red Bank Road, Cincinnati, Ohio
45227. Checks should be made payable to WILMINGTON COMMERCE PARK PARTNERSHIP.
Any Basic Annual Rent payment not received by the Landlord by the tenth day of
the month shall be past due. If the commencement date of this Lease is other
than the first day of the month, any rental adjustment or additional rents
hereinafter provided for shall be prorated accordingly. The Tenant will pay the
rent as herein provided, without deduction whatsoever, and without any
obligation of the Landlord to make demand for it. Any installment of rent
accruing hereunder and any other sum payable hereunder, if not paid within ten
days of when due, shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per
annum until paid. Late Fee. Provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to
two (2) written notices from Landlord in a given Lease Year that such rent,
additional rent or other charge is due and payable within five (5) days of
Tenant's receipt of such notice before a service charge will be assessed. After
four (4) such notices have been given to Tenant during the term of this Lease
then no further notices shall be given and Tenant shall pay any service charges
as otherwise provided herein. The Basic Annual Rent of $341,120.00 shall be
adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index beginning February 1, 1997,
the adjustment date which shall commence in the second year of lease and each
year thereafter, whether during the term of this Lease or any renewal or
extension thereof. Increases in the Basic Annual Rent shall be made in
accordance with the following procedure:

         a. The index to be used for this adjustment shall be the Consumer Price
         Index


                                       3
<PAGE>   18
         (North Central Region, All Urban Consumers, All Items, 1982-84 equaling
         a base of 100, from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
         Statistics, Washington, D.C.).

         b. The Consumer Price Index of 1996 for the month of January shall be
         the "Base Period Consumer Price Index." The Consumer Price Index for
         the month of January prior to each adjustment date in each adjustment
         year shall be the "Adjustment Period Consumer Price Index."

         c. The Base Period Consumer Price Index shall be subtracted from the
         Adjustment Period Consumer Price Index; the difference shall be divided
         by the Base Period Consumer Price Index. This quotient shall then be
         multiplied by the $341,120.00 (Basic Annual Rent amount) and the result
         shall then be added to the $341,120.00 (Basic Annual Rent amount). The
         resulting sum shall be the Adjusted Annual Rent for such immediately
         succeeding leasehold period which shall be paid in equal monthly
         installments.

         d. If the said Consumer Price Index is, at any time during the term of
         this Lease, discontinued by the Government, then the most nearly
         comparable index shall be substituted for the purpose of the aforesaid
         calculations.

         e. The rental amount shall not be increased more than five percent (5%)
         on any one annual adjustment and shall never be increased more than
         twenty percent (20%) over the initial rent during the term of this
         lease.

                  Section 2. Rent Commencement Date: Base Annual Rent shall
commence sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
the Leased Premises becomes operational before the expiration of the sixty day
period, Base Annual Rent shall commence immediately upon such operation.

                  Section 3. The Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord for the
costs of water, gas, and electricity, including electricity costs for exterior
lighting, or any other utilities paid by Landlord in connection with the Leased
Premises. Said reimbursement shall be additional rent due on the first day of
the calendar month next following rendition of a bill therefor. If any services
are separately metered, the cost shall be paid directly by the Tenant to the
utility service. The heating and other utilities except water, not separately
metered will be prorated on the basis of the square footage serviced by a given
meter and paid to Landlord as billed. The total cost of water shall be paid by
Tenant currently in occupancy and costs thereof shall be prorated on the basis
of square footage occupied by each Tenant (if more than one). In the event that
any occupant of the building uses a disproportionate amount of said utilities,
an adjustment shall be made so that each tenant pays for their entire share but
not a portion of the utilities used by other tenants of the building.

                  Section 4. The Tenant agrees to pay any increased real estate
taxes over and above the real estate taxes paid by the Landlord during the first
year of the term of this Lease. The Tenant's proportionate share of any increase
shall be a fraction thereof, the numerator of which is the number of square feet
in the leased premises and the denominator of which is 121,600 square feet (the
total square feet of floor area in the building or buildings located on the tax
parcel for which taxes are increasing). Said amount shall be deemed to be
additional rent and shall be due and payable on the first of the month following
delivery to Tenant of a receipt for Landlord's payment of said real estate
taxes. The Tenant shall pay its share of expenses that the Landlord shall incur
by reason of compliance with new laws, orders, special rent/use taxes,
ordinances and new regulations of Federal, State, County and Municipal
authorities, and with any lawful direction of any public officer or officers,
which lawful direction shall be imposed upon the Landlord for the common good of
the occupants of the Airborne Commerce Park. Capital improvements which are the
responsibility of Landlord shall not be deemed to be prorated to be passed
through to Tenant hereunder.

                  Section 5. None of the following acts or omissions by the
Landlord shall in any way affect the payment of the rent at the time specified
in this Lease; if the Landlord at any time enters into a contract for any
alterations, additions, repairs or improvements; if the Landlord fails to make
such alterations, additions, repairs or improvements. The Landlord may
discontinue all facilities and services rendered by it or its agents or
contractors that are not expressly covenanted for herein; such facilities and
services shall constitute no part of the consideration for this Lease.

                  Section 6. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum of SIX
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY AND NO/100THS ($6,560.00), as security for its
performance of its lease of part of Building 2. Upon Lessee's relocation from
Building 2, these funds shall continue to be held by Landlord, without interest,
and may be commingled with Landlord's other funds, as security for the
performance by Tenant of all the terms and conditions of this Lease. If a
default should occur, Landlord, at its option, may apply the deposit, in whole
or in part to cure the default. If any part of the deposit is so applied by
Landlord, Tenant shall, upon Landlord's request, remit to Landlord the amount
necessary to restore the full security deposit. Tenant's failure to do so within
five (5) days after receipt of Landlord's demand shall be a default. If at the
end of the Lease, Tenant is not in default, the security deposit shall be
returned to Tenant.

         ARTICLE 4. COMMON AREA.

                  For the purpose of this Lease, the term "common area" is
defined for all purposes of this Lease as facilities that are intended for the
common use of all tenants. For purposes of this definition, facilities include
the parking area, driveways, private streets and alleys, landscaping, curbs,
loading area, sidewalks and exterior lighting facilities intended for the common
use of the tenant. Not included are spaces in existing or future buildings or
vacant land designed for commercial rental purposes and exclusive to a given
tenant. The Landlord may from time to time change the dimensions of the common
area, provided that access by trucks to the loading docks is maintained. Tenant
and its employees, customers, licensees and invitees


                                       5
<PAGE>   20
shall have the nonexclusive right to use the common area as constituted from
time to time. The use shall be in common with the Landlord or other tenants in
Landlord's buildings and other persons permitted by the Landlord to use the
common area. The use shall be subject to all reasonable nondiscriminatory rules
and regulations prescribed by Landlord and as amended from time to time,
including the designation of specific areas within the common area for parking
automobiles owned by the Tenant, its employees, licensees and invitees. If
automobiles or other vehicles are parked in part of the common area not
specifically designated for employee parking, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as
additional rent, an amount equal to the daily or hourly charge established by
Landlord for each automobile or vehicle so parked. Such parking use shall not be
permitted unless approved by Landlord in writing. Tenant shall not solicit
business within the common area or take any action which would interfere with
the rights of other persons to use of the common area. The Tenant shall have no
right to use the common area for storage of pallets or other storage purposes,
and trash shall be stored only in such containers and in such place as approved
by the Landlord. The Landlord shall maintain the common area and keep the same
in good order and repair including lighting and landscaping. The Landlord may
temporarily close any part of the common area for any period necessary to make
repairs or alterations or to prevent the public from obtaining prescriptive
rights. The cost of exterior lighting and ice and snow removal, general
cleaning, asphalt sealing and restriping and landscape maintenance will be
prorated among the Tenants in accordance with the percentage that the square
footage of the Leased Premises bears to the total square footage of all
buildings adjacent to the Leased Premises. The share of such cost will be deemed
to be additional rent and shall be due the first of the month following the
invoice thereof by Landlord to the Tenant of the amount due, whichever is later.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay costs of
parking lot restriping more frequently than every seven (7) years unless unusual
weather conditions cause substantial deterioration in markings within the seven
year period.

         LANDLORD'S ACCOUNTING: Landlord must maintain books and records for all
operating expenses, utilities, insurance, taxes and other charges paid to
Landlord by Tenant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and provide to Tenant an accounting of such charges. Tenant has right to audit
Landlord's books and records for such charges. Landlord must pay for an audit of
its books and records if those charges are in error by more than three percent
(3%).

                  Section 1. Tenant shall not transfer, mortgage, or pledge this
lease, or sublease the subject premises or any portion thereof, without the
Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Tenant shall give ABX AIR, INC., the first right to sublease any or all
of the premises. The Landlord may deem any levy or sale or execution or other
legal process against the Tenant, or any assignment or sale in bankruptcy or
assignment or a receiver or insolvency of the Tenant, to be an assignment within
the meaning of this Article.

                  Section 2. Assignment: Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the following shall not be considered an assignment of
the Lease or other transfer for the purpose of this section: (a) any change in

affiliate or subsidiary corporation and receive written consent from Landlord
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

shall consent to such use, Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord, upon demand, all
increase or increases of premiums on insurance carried by the Landlord on all or
part of the Leased Premises, or on the building of which the Leased Premises are
a part, caused in any way by the Tenant's occupancy. If Tenant installs any

corporation, arising from, related to, or connected with the conduct and
operation of Tenant's business in the Leased Premises. Landlord shall be named

relative to any other valid and collectible insurance. Tenant may satisfy this
insurance requirement with appropriate coverage under its existing policies
which may be in the form of a blanket policy and shall not be obligated to
obtain a separate policy for the Leased Premises. Said insurance shall not be
subject to


                                       10

damaged by fire or other casualty not occurring through fault or negligence of
the Tenant, or those employed by or acting for it, that they cannot be repaired
and restored, on the basis of normal working days and hours, within 90 days,
this lease shall terminate, and the rent shall abate for the balance of the
term; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that should it be determined anytime that the aforesaid

premises can be restored, on the basis of normal working days and hours, to the
present condition within 90 days, the Landlord shall restore them as speedily as
circumstances reasonable permit, including the time necessary and required by
the insurance companies to inspect the premises and to make an adjustment with
the Landlord. The Landlord may enter upon the premises for the purpose of doing
the restoration work. However, if such damage occurs during the final 12 months
of the then current term, the Landlord or the Tenant may terminate this lease by
giving written notice to the other party within 30 days after the damage occurs.
If Landlord either party exercises such option the rent shall abate for the
balance of the term. The Landlord also may enter upon the demised premises
whenever necessary to repair damage caused by fire or other casualty to the
building of which the demised premises are a part, even though the effect of
such entry is to render the demised premises or a part thereof untenantable. In
that event, the rent shall be prorated and suspended while the Landlord is in
possession, taking into account the proportion in area of the demised premises
rendered untenantable or unusable and the duration of the Landlord's possession.
If a dispute arises as to the amount of rent under this clause, the Tenant shall
pay the full amount claimed by the Landlord. The Tenant may, however, proceed by
law to recover any excess payment.

                  Section 1. If any of the Leased Premises shall be taken by a
public authority under the power of eminent domain and Landlord is unable to
provide substitute space within the area of the Airborne Commerce Park, then the
term of this Lease shall cease as of the day possession shall be taken by such
public authority, and the rent shall be paid up to that date with a
proportionate refund by Landlord of such rent as shall have been paid in
advance.

                  Section 2. If less than substantially all of the floor area of
the Leased Premises shall be so taken, as of the day possession shall be taken
by such public authority, and the rent shall be paid up to that day with a
proportionate refund by Landlord of such rent as may have been paid in advance,
and thereafter the minimum rent shall be equitably abated, and Landlord shall at
its own cost and expense make all necessary repairs or alterations as to
constitute the remaining Leased Premises a complete architectural unit. If
Tenant shall not be able to reasonably operate its business, then Tenant shall
have the right to terminate this Lease on 60 days written notice.

                  Section 3. All damages awarded for such taking under the power
of eminent domain, whether for the whole or a part of the Leased Premises, shall
be the property of Landlord whether such damages shall be awarded as
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee of the
Leased Premises; provided, however, that the Landlord shall not be entitled to
any separate award made to Tenant for loss of business, depreciation to and cost
of removal of stock and fixtures.


         ARTICLE 13. ACCESS TO LEASED PREMISES.

                  Tenant shall retain all keys to the Leased Premises for
security reasons. Tenant agrees to have accessible to Landlord for twenty-four
(24) hours each day, a person or persons who will be able to provide reasonable
access to the Leased Premises for Landlord. After 48 hours written notice,
except in cases of emergency, the Landlord or its agents shall have the right to
enter upon the Leased Premises at all reasonable hours for the purpose of
inspecting the same or of making repairs, additions or alterations thereto or to
the building in which the same are located. If Landlord must obtain access to
the premises in an emergency, and Tenant has not provided access as set forth
above, Landlord may use whatever reasonable means are necessary to obtain
access, and any costs to repair damage caused to the Leased Premises by Landlord
in obtaining access shall be paid by Tenant. During the final six months of the
Lease term, the Landlord shall have the right, upon 48 hours written notice, to
show the Leased premises to prospective Tenants, purchasers or others. Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant in any manner for any expense, loss or damage by
reason thereof, nor shall the exercise of such right be deemed an eviction or
disturbance of Tenant's use and possession.

         ARTICLE 14. INABILITY TO DELIVER PREMISES.

                  If this Lease is executed and the Landlord cannot deliver
possession of the Leased Premises before the commencement date (as defined in
Article 1), it shall not be deemed to be in


                                       12
<PAGE>   27
default under the Lease, and Tenant shall accept possession of the Leased
Premises provided Landlord is able to tender them within 30 days, unless the
delay is caused by an act or acts of severe winter weather, in which case
Landlord shall have sixty(60) days to tender possession of the Leased Premises.
Landlord waives the payment of rent covering any period before possession is
tendered to Tenant.

         ARTICLE 15. LANDLORD'S SUCCESSORS.

                  The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease shall be limited to
mean and include only the owner or owners, at the time, of the fee of the
building, their successors and assigns, so that in the event of any sale or
sales of the building, the previous Landlord shall be entirely released with
respect to the performance of all subsequently accruing covenants and
obligations on the part of Landlord. The retention of fee ownership by a
Landlord of the building or of the land on which it is located under an
underlying lease which is now or hereafter in effect, shall not be deemed to
impose on such underlying Landlord any liability, initial or continuing, for the
performance of the covenants and obligations of Landlord.

         ARTICLE 16. SUBORDINATION.

                  This Lease shall be subject to and subordinate at all times to
the lien of any mortgages, now or hereafter made on the Leased Premises, to all
advances made or hereafter to be made thereunder, and to any easements granted
to or by Landlord which benefit or burden the Leased Premises. The Tenant agrees
to execute a subordination agreement should Landlord's lender request same.

         ARTICLE 17. ATTORNMENT.

                  In the event the herein Leased Premises are sold due to any
sale, transfer or foreclosure, by virtue of judicial proceedings or otherwise,
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Tenant agrees, upon
request, to attorn to and acknowledge the transferee(s) or purchaser(s) at such
transfer or sale as Landlord(s) hereunder; provided such transferee(s) or
purchaser will recognize this Lease, unless and until it is in default.

         ARTICLE 18. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant
agrees to look solely to Landlord's interest in the building (subject to any
mortgage on the building) for the recovery of any judgment requiring the payment
of money by Landlord; it being agreed that Landlord, and if Landlord is a
partnership, its partners whether general or limited, or if Landlord is a
corporation, its directors, officers, and shareholders, shall never be
personally liable for any such judgment, and no other assets of the Landlord
shall be subject to such levy, execution or other procedures for the
satisfaction of Tenant's judgment. The provision contained in the foregoing
sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might
otherwise have to obtain


                                       13
<PAGE>   28
injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord's successors in interest, or to
maintain any other action not involving the personal liability of Landlord, or
to maintain any suit or action in connection with enforcement or collection of
amounts which may become owing or payable under or on account of insurance
maintained by Landlord.

         ARTICLE 19. TENANT'S DEFAULT.

                  Section 1. The Tenant, ten (10) days after receipt of written
notice, shall be considered in default of this Lease upon failure to pay when
due the rent or any other sum required by the terms of the Lease. Tenant shall
also be considered in default thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice
for failure to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease; upon the
commencement of any action or proceeding for the dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act, of Tenant, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee of the Tenant's property; upon making of any assignment for
the benefit of creditors by Tenant; upon suspension of business; or the
abandonment of the Leased Premises by the Tenant. Any defaults other than
nonpayment defaults shall have a thirty (30) day cure period.

                  Section 2. In the event of default of this Lease by either
party, then either party may pursue any and all remedies and rights available
under applicable Ohio law. Should Landlord elect to reenter, as herein provided,
or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any
notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this Lease, or it may
without terminating this Lease relet said Leased Premises or any part thereof
for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms
and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable, with the right to make
alterations and repairs to said Leased Premises for the purpose of rerental.
Should such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than
required to be paid by Tenant as defined above, then Tenant shall immediately
pay such deficiency to Landlord.

                  Section 3. No such reentry or taking possession of said Leased
Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate
this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or
unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time
thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach or act of
default. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach or act
of default, in addition to any other remedy it may have, it may recover from
Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach or act of default,
including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, legal fees, and including
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.

         ARTICLE 20. SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES.


                                       14
<PAGE>   29
                  Section 1. If Tenant holds possession of the Leased Premises
after the termination of this Lease for any reason not authorized by the
Landlord unless the parties are engaged in good faith negotiations for the
leasing of this or other space in the Wilmington Commerce Park, after sixty days
from the termination, Tenant shall pay Landlord one hundred fifty percent (150%)
of the rent provided for herein for such period that Tenant holds over, but such
payment of rent shall not create any Lease arrangement whatsoever between
Landlord and Tenant, unless expressly agreed to in writing by Landlord. It is
further understood that during such period that Tenant holds over, the Landlord
retains all of Landlord's rights under this Lease, including damages as a result
of the termination of this Lease and the right to immediate possession of the
Leased Premises. This paragraph shall not be construed to grant Tenant
permission to hold over.

                  Section 2. At the expiration of the tenancy created hereunder,
whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall surrender the Leased
Premises broom clean, free of tire marks, free of all debris and in good
condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and loss by fire or other
unavoidable casualty excepted.

                  Section 3. Prior to surrender of the Leased Premises, the
Leased Premises will be reviewed by a representative of the Landlord and Tenant
to determine if there is any deferred maintenance or unrepaired damage which is
the responsibility of Tenant. Tenant shall have the option to effect such
maintenance and repairs. In the event that there is deferred maintenance and/or
unrepaired damage not taken care of by Tenant, then Landlord may effect such
maintenance and repairs and Tenant will pay the cost thereof which cost shall
not exceed 10% of the Landlord's approved initial build-out.

                  Section 4. Upon the expiration of the tenancy hereby created,
if Landlord so requests in writing, Tenant shall promptly remove any additions,
signs, fixtures and installations placed in the Leased Premises by Tenant that
is designated in said request, and repair any damage occasioned by such removals
at its own expense, and in default thereof, Landlord may effect such removals
and repairs, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, with interest at
the rate of eight (8) percent per annum from the date of payment by Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be able to leave in such additions,
signs, fixtures and installations in an amount up to ten (10%) of its original
build-out without a duty to remove the same.

         ARTICLE 21. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.

                  The Landlord and Tenant waive all rights, each against the
other, for damages caused by fire or other perils covered by insurance where
such damages are sustained in connection with the occupancy of the Leased
Premises.

         ARTICLE 22. ZONING; PERMITS.

                  Notwithstanding anything herein elsewhere contained to the
contrary, this Lease

<PAGE>   30
and all the terms and conditions hereof are in all respects subject and
subordinate to all zoning restrictions and restricting covenants affecting the
Leased Premises, and the building in which they are located, and the Tenant
shall be bound by such restrictions. Landlord represents that to the best of its
knowledge and belief, the present zoning of the premises permit the activities
of Tenant as such are presently carried on. In the event that the present zoning
does not permit the activities of Tenant's present use then this Lease shall be
void. The Landlord further does not warrant that any licenses or permits which
may be required for the business to be conducted by the Tenant on the Leased
Premises will be granted, or, if granted, will be continued in effect or
renewed. Any failure to obtain the licenses, permits, or any revocation thereof
or failure to renew them, shall not release the Tenant from the terms of this
Lease.

         ARTICLE 23. ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS.

                  Section 1. The Landlord, to the best of its knowledge,
represents to the Tenant that no toxic, explosive or other dangerous materials

Leased Premises is constructed.

orders, demands, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, or suits and all
liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, technical

Sheriff's or Marshall's sale, or if a receiver is appointed, the Landlord may
declare the rent for the balance of the term or any part thereof to be due and
payable as if by the terms of the lease it were payable in advance. If the rent
or any other sum payable hereunder is at any time unpaid when within 45 days
after due, the Landlord may then declare the rent for the balance of the term or
any part thereof to be immediately due and payable as if by the terms of the
Lease it were payable in advance, and the Landlord may immediately proceed to
distrain, collect, or bring action for the whole rent or any part thereof, as if

         ARTICLE 26. RENT DEMAND.

Lease.

         ARTICLE 28. WAIVER OF BREACH.

                  No waiver of any breach of the covenants, provisions or
conditions contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver of the
covenant itself or any subsequent breach itself, and if any breach shall occur
and afterwards be compromised, settled or adjusted, this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect as if no breach had occurred, unless otherwise agreed. The
acceptance of rent hereunder shall neither be or construed to be a waiver of any
breach of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease.

         ARTICLE 29. QUIET ENJOYMENT.

                  Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that if Tenant shall
