     THIS LEASE is made this 7th day of May, 1998, by and between ORIX PRIME
WEST COLORADO SPRINGS VENTURE, a Colorado general partnership ("Landlord") and

                                  WITNESSETH:


                                   ARTICLE 1
                                    DEMISE
                                    ------

     1.1  Demise.  Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant hereby
          ------
leases from Landlord Suites 300 and 250 (the "Premises") consisting of the
entire third floor and approximately 12,781 rentable square feet on the second
floor for a total of approximately 35,234 rentable square feet (the "Rentable
Area"), such Premises being generally depicted on the floor plans attached
hereto as Exhibit A and A-1, which Premises may be adjusted as set forth
          ---------     ---
herein. The Premises are situated in that certain building known as 2060
Briargate Parkway, located in El Paso County, Colorado Springs, Colorado (the
"Building"), which Building will be constructed by Landlord substantially in
accordance with (i) the Building Outline Specifications dated October 24, 1997
(revised March 18, 1998) prepared by OZ Architecture, a copy of which has been
provided to and approved by Tenant (the "Outline Specifications") and (ii) the
Site Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-3 and situated on that certain real
                             -----------
property (the "Property") legally described in - Exhibit B, attached hereto,
                                                 ---------
together with a non-exclusive right subject to the provisions hereof, to use all
appurtenances thereto, including, but not limited to, any plazas, common areas,
walkways or other areas in the Building or on the Property designated by
Landlord from time to time for the non-exclusive use of the tenants of the
Building, all of which inclusive of the Building are hereinafter collectively
called the "Building Complex."

     Such letting and hiring is upon and subject to the terms, conditions and
covenants herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the
consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms,
conditions and covenants by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is
made upon the condition of such performance.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                                     TERM
                                     ----

     2.1  Term.  The term of this Lease and Tenant's obligation to pay rent
          ----
shall commence on the earlier to occur of (a) February 1, 1999, or (b) the date
upon which Tenant commences the operation of its business in the Premises (the
"Commencement Date") and shall end at 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the ninety-
ninth (99th) month thereafter, unless sooner terminated as herein provided (the
"Lease Term"). As further specified in Exhibit C, Landlord shall provide Tenant
                                       ---------
access to the Premises (i) thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date for
purposes of installing Tenant's voice data cabling equipment and related
materials and (ii) fourteen (14) days prior to the Commencement Date for
purposes of installing certain of Tenant's furniture, fixtures and equipment, In
addition to the foregoing, Landlord will be reasonable in providing Tenant's
contractors access to the Premises at such other times necessary for
installation of Tenant's equipment and related materials, provided that (i)
Tenant schedules and coordinates such access needs with Landlord within five (5)
days prior to the date of such desired access, (ii) such work by Tenant's
contractors does not unreasonably interfere with or in any way delay Landlord's
work in the Premises and (iii) the terms and conditions of the Lease shall
govern and control during such access periods. All such installation work by
Tenant shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and at Tenant's sole
cost and expense. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for any
claims asserted against Landlord or for any damage, loss, cost or expense
incurred by Landlord as a result of such work by Tenant on the Premises.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Premises are not Substantially Complete (as
defined in Exhibit C) on February 1, 1999 due to any reason other than Tenant
           ---------
Delay (as defined in Exhibit C), then the Commencement Date shall be extended to
                     ---------
the date of Substantial Completion (or, in the event of Tenant Delay, to the
date on which the Premises would have been

                                       1
<PAGE>

Substantially Complete in the absence of the Tenant Delay). If the plat and
development plan for the Property have not been approved by the City of Colorado
Springs, Colorado and/or any other governmental authority, association or
committee as may be required by any recorded covenants affecting the Property on
or before June 30, 1998, Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by
providing prior written notice thereof to the other party on or before July 31,
1998 and in such event, both Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their
respective obligations hereunder. Landlord has submitted the appropriate
development plans to the City of Colorado Springs for approval and Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to obtain any such required approvals as promptly
as possible. If Landlord has not commenced construction of the Building on or
before August 3, 1998 or if Landlord has not commenced erection of steel with
respect to the Building on or before September 24, 1998, Tenant may elect to
terminate this Lease by providing prior written notice thereof to Landlord
within thirty (30) days following the respective termination dates referenced
above and in such event, both Landlord and Tenant will be relieved of their
respective obligations hereunder. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the date that the Premises will
be Substantially Complete. If, however, the Commencement Date has not occur-red
on or before May 1, 1999, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by providing
prior written notice thereof to Landlord on or before May 31, 1999 and in such
event, both Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective
obligations hereunder. If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before
May 1, 1999 (as such date shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of a
Tenant Delay, as defined in Exhibit C) due to a delay caused by Landlord and
                            ---------
Tenant does not elect to terminate the Lease as set forth above, Landlord will
agree to reimburse Tenant for Tenant's holdover costs in the amount of
$12,405.56 per month (the "Holdover Costs") incurred by Tenant as a result of
such delay beyond May 1, 1999 (as extended by one (1) day for each day of a
Tenant Delay) until Substantial Completion. If the Commencement Date has not
occurred on or before May 1, 1999 (as such date shall be extended by one (1) day
for each day of a Tenant Delay) due to a Force Majeure Delay and Tenant does not
elect to terminate the Lease, Landlord will agree to reimburse Tenant for fifty
percent (50%) of Tenant's Holdover Costs in the amount of $6,202.78 per month
incurred by Tenant as a result of such delay beyond May 1, 1999 (as extended by
one (1) day for each day of a Tenant Delay) until the earlier of Substantial
Completion or October 31, 1999. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will
Landlord's liability in connection with payment of Tenant's Holdover Costs in
connection with a Force Majeure Delay exceed $38,000.00 and if the Commencement
Date has not occurred on or before October 31, 1999, either party shall have the
right to terminate the Lease by providing prior written notice thereof to the
other party and in such event, both Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of
their respective obligations hereunder.

     2.2  Supplemental Agreement.  Within five (5) days after the commencement
          ----------------------
of the term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to execute a Supplemental Agreement in
the form attached as Exhibit D to become a part hereof, setting forth the
                     ---------
Commencement and termination dates of the term of this Lease in accordance with
Paragraph 2.1 above and such other information as the parties may agree to as
set forth therein, including the actual Rentable Area of the Premises, Base Rent
and Tenant's Pro Rata Share as defined herein.

     2.3  Landlord's Work.  Other than as set forth in the Work Letter Landlord
          ---------------
shall have no obligation for the completion or condition of the Premises and
Tenant shall accept the Premises in its "AS IS" condition as of the date
Landlord delivers possession thereof in accordance with the provisions of the
Work Letter, subject to any Punch List Items (as defined in the Work Letter) and
any defects in the Premises constructed by Landlord and discovered by Tenant
(and written notice of which is given to Landlord) within one (1) year following
the date of Substantial Completion, which defects will be substantially cured by
Landlord or Landlord will cause to be substantially cured within a reasonable
time following written notice thereof by Tenant to Landlord within such one year
period. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord will assign to Tenant all
warranties relating to items of which Landlord is not obligated to maintain
under this Lease and will use reasonable efforts to enforce all unassigned
warranties for Tenant's benefit.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                                     RENT
                                     ----

     3.1  Base Rent.  Tenant agrees to pay as base annual rent (the "Base Rent")
          ---------
during the Term of this Lease a sum equal to $15.90 per rentable square foot of
Premises per annum triple net which Base Rent shall be increased annually on
each anniversary of the Commencement Date by

                                       2
<PAGE>

1.50% over the preceding Lease Year's Base Rent. The Base Rent shall be payable
in equal monthly installments without notice, deduction, set-off or abatement
(except as set forth in Articles 21 and 22 hereof) to Landlord at the address
for Landlord set forth in Article 26 or such other address as Landlord may
notify Tenant of in writing, in lawful money of the United States payable in
advance on the first day of each month. If the Lease Term commences or
terminates on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month
respectively, then the installments of Base Rent for such month or months shall
be prorated and the installments so prorated shall be paid in advance. The term
"Lease Year" shall mean each twelve month period subsequent to the Commencement
Date. Annual Base Rent is subject to adjustment upon final determination of the
rentable square feet of the Premises as set forth in Exhibit D. Notwithstanding
                                                     ---------
the foregoing, in no event will an adjustment be made to the $15.90 amount per
rentable square foot referenced above, unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord
and Tenant.

     3.2  Additional Rent.  Any other sums of money or charges to be paid by
          ---------------
Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease are designated as "Additional
Rent". A failure to pay Additional Rent shall be treated in all events as the
failure to pay rent.

     3.3  Interest on Late Payments and Late Payment Charge.
          -------------------------------------------------

Any rent (whether Base Rent or Additional Rent) or other amount due from Tenant
to Landlord under this Lease not paid when due shall bear interest from the date
due until the date paid at the per annum rate of the Prime Rate (as defined in
Section 28.11) plus two percent (2%) (the "Default Rate"), but the payment of
such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.
Failure to charge or collect such interest in connection with any one or more
such late payments shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to charge
and collect such interest in connection with any other or similar or like late
payments.

     In addition, in the event any rent or other amounts owing hereunder are not
paid within three (3) days after the due date, then Landlord and Tenant agree
that Landlord will incur additional administrative expenses, the amount of which
will be difficult if not impossible to determine.  Accordingly, in addition to
such required payment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional late charge
for any such late payment in the amount of three percent (3%) of the amount of
such late payment.  Notwithstanding the above, Landlord agrees that if Landlord
receives payment of such amounts due within five (5) days of Tenant's written
receipt of notice of nonpayment from Landlord, then Landlord shall waive the
interest on such late payment and the late charge, but Landlord (i) shall have
no obligation to waive such charges and interest more than twice during any
calendar year; (ii) shall have no obligation to give notice more than twice
during any calendar year; and (iii) shall have no obligation to waive any
charges if there is any prior existing uncured default under this Lease.

                    TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSE ADJUSTMENT
                    --------------------------------------

     In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Real Estate
Taxes and Operating Expenses (which sum may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2)
for the Building Complex as hereinafter set forth in this Section.

     4.1  Definitions.  The following terms shall have the following meanings
          -----------
with respect to the provisions of this Lease:

          (a)  "Tenant's Proportionate or Pro Rata Share" shall mean that
fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable Area of the Premises as
determined by Landlord and the denominator of which is estimated to be
approximately 72,626 rentable square feet being the total Rentable Area of the
Building Complex as determined by Landlord and is estimated to be 48.51% which
calculation shall be determined by Landlord and included in the Supplemental
Agreement. At such time, if ever, any space is added to or subtracted from the
Premises as hereinbelow provided, Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted by
Landlord accordingly. Landlord's system for measurement of rentable area shall
be a modified BOMA with the total Building rentable/useable ratio applied to
every floor based upon Final Plans (as defined in the Work Letter) for the
Premises and the Building, as determined by Landlord's architect. Said number
for the Premises shall also

                                       3
<PAGE>

be "field verified" by Landlord's architect and may be so verified, at Tenant's
election, by Tenant's architect. If the field verification of Tenant's architect
and Landlord's architect vary by more than 500 square feet, each party shall
appoint an architect having at least five years' full-time commercial
architectural experience to determine the rentable square feet of the Premises,
such process to be completed within twenty (20) days after the date of the
appointment of the last architect. If a party does not appoint a qualified
architect within five (5) days after the other party has given notice of the
name of its architect, then the single architect shall be the sole architect and
shall set the square footage number for the Premises. If the selected architects
are unable to agree on the number within twenty (20) days after the date the
second architect has been appointed, they shall elect a third architect meeting
the qualifications stated in this paragraph within seven (7) days after the last
day the two (2) architects are to set the square footage number for the
Premises. Each of the parties shall pay for the architect appointed by it and
shall bear one-half of the cost of the third architect. The third architect,
however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity
for either party. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third
architect, a majority of the architects shall set the rentable square footage
for the Premises. If a majority of the. architects are unable to agree on the
number within the stipulated period of time, the average of the three architects
shall be the applicable number. If the architects fail to establish the square
footage number in question prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay rent
in accordance with the square footage determined by Landlord's architect until
the architects have made their determination. The square footage in question,
when finally determined by the architects, shall be retroactive to the
Commencement Date, and the first Base Rent payment becoming due after the
determination of the applicable square footage shall be adjusted accordingly.

          (b)  "Real Estate Taxes" shall include (i) any form of assessment
(including any so-called "special" assessments related to the Building or the
Property), license tax, business license fee, business license tax, commercial
rental tax, levy, charge, penalty or tax, imposed by any authority having the
direct power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or
any school, agricultural, lighting, water, drainage or other improvement or
special district thereof, against the Premises, the Building, Property, or
Building Complex or any legal or equitable interest of Landlord therein; and
(ii) any assessments, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution, partially or
totally, of or in addition to any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge
previously included within the definition of Real Estate Taxes, including,
without limitation, those which may be imposed by governmental agencies for such
services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse
removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to
property owners or occupants. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that
all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be
included within the definition of Real Estate Taxes for purposes of this Lease.
The following shall also be included within the definition of Real Estate Taxes
for purposes of this Lease, provided, however, that Tenant shall pay Landlord
the entire amount thereof. (x) any tax allocable to or measured by the area of
the Premises or the rental payable hereunder, including without limitation, any
gross income, privilege, sales or excise tax levied by the State, any political
subdivision thereof, city, municipal or federal government, with respect to the
receipt of such rental, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing,
operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by
Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof, and (y) any tax upon this
transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring
an interest or an estate in the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, "Real Estate Taxes" shall not include Landlord's federal or state
income or net profit taxes (it being understood that net profit taxes are
separate and distinct from the gross taxes referenced in subparagraph (x)
above), franchise, stock, gift, corporation, excise, transfer, recordation,
inheritance or estate taxes. "Real Estate Taxes" included in this definition
mean taxes or assessments as estimated for the current year and not due and
payable until the following year. Upon receipt of the applicable tax bill, an
adjustment will be made between the parties as specifically set forth in Section
4.2 hereof.

          (c)  "Operating Expenses" shall mean all maintenance and operating
costs of any kind or nature with respect to the operation, ownership and
maintenance of the Building Complex, determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and shall include, but not
be limited to, the cost of building supplies, window cleaning, costs incurred in

in connection with the Building Complex; any association or similar fees or
dues; costs of complying with recorded restrictions, covenants and/or easements;
any expense attributable to costs incurred by Landlord for any capital

change in the laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or otherwise which were not
in effect on the date Landlord obtained its building permit to construct the
Building required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the Building which costs shall be amortized over the useful
life of the capital improvements or structural repair; any expense attributable
to costs incurred by Landlord for any capital improvements designed primarily to
reduce Operating Expenses; and any costs incurred by Landlord in making other
capital improvements or other modifications to the Building or any part thereof
(except such other capital improvements or modifications affecting the base

as specified in subparagraph (xvi) below, and as otherwise specifically excluded
below), which costs shall be amortized over the useful life of such improvement
or modification with interest on the unamortized amount at the rate paid by
Landlord on any funds borrowed for such expenditures in accordance with such
reasonable life and amortization schedules and shall be determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, Operating Expenses shall expressly exclude the

less than 100% of the total rentable square feet in the Building is occupied at
any time during any calendar year, or if any office tenant is separately paying
for electricity or other utility services or janitorial services furnished to
its premises, then Operating Expenses for such calendar year shall be deemed to
include all additional expenses with respect to those Variable Operating
Expenses, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, which would have been incurred
during such calendar year if the occupancy rate for the Building had been 100%
and if Landlord paid for electricity, other utility services and janitorial
services furnished to such premises.

     4.2  Payments of Taxes and Operating Expenses.  It is hereby agreed that
          ----------------------------------------
during each Lease Year of the Lease Term Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's
Pro Rata Share of the amount of the Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for
the Building Complex as set forth above. It is agreed that Tenant shall during
each calendar ear pay to Landlord an estimate of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of such
Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses as hereinafter set forth. Beginning
with the calendar year 1999, the Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month
following the Commencement Date on the first day of the month an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate Taxes and
Operating Expenses for such calendar year as reasonably estimated by Landlord,
with an adjustment to be made between the parties at a later date as hereinafter
provided. Furthermore, Landlord may from time to time but no more than once
during any Lease Year furnish Tenant with notice of a re-estimation of the
amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share and Tenant shall commence paying its re-
estimated Pro Rata Share on the first day of the month following receipt of said
notice. As soon as practicable following the end of any calendar year, but not
later than April 30 of the following year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a
detailed and itemized statement setting forth the exact amount of Tenant's Pro
Rata Share of the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the calendar year
just completed and the difference, if any, between Tenant's actual Pro Rata
Share of the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the calendar year just
completed and the estimated amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate
Taxes and Operating Expenses (which were paid in accordance with this
subparagraph) for such year. Such statement shall also set forth the amount of
the estimated Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses reimbursement for the new
calendar year computed in accordance with the foregoing provisions. To the
extent that Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the actual Real Estate Taxes and
Operating Expenses for the period covered by such statement is higher than the
estimated payments which Tenant previously paid during the calendar year just
completed, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference within thirty (30) days
following receipt of said statement from Landlord. To the extent that Tenant's
Pro Rata Share of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the
period covered by the Statements is less than the estimated payments which
Tenant previously paid during the calendar year just completed, Landlord shall
refund said amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days unless Tenant is in default
in which event Landlord shall credit the difference against Tenant's estimated
reimbursement for such Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the current
year. In addition, with respect to the monthly reimbursement, until Tenant
receives such statement, Tenant's monthly reimbursement for the new calendar
year shall continue to be paid at the then current rate, but Tenant shall
commence payment to Landlord of the monthly installments of reimbursement on the
basis of the statement beginning on the first day of the month following the
month in which Tenant receives such statement. Landlord's failure to provide
such statement to Tenant as specified above shall in no way relieve Landlord or
Tenant from their respective payment obligations upon an adjustment for actual
Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses in the manner provided above. Landlord
agrees to contract only with unaffiliated third party vendors with respect to
the services to be provided and included as Operating Expenses under this Lease
and agrees to bid such service contracts at least once per annum.

     Tenant's obligation with respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Real Estate
Taxes and Operating Expenses shall survive the expiration or early termination
of this Lease and Landlord shall have the right to retain the Security Deposit,
or so much thereof as it deems necessary, to secure payment of Tenant's Pro Rata
Share of the actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the portion of
the final calendar year of the Lease during which Tenant was obligated to pay
such expenses.  If

                                       7
<PAGE>

Tenant occupies the Premises for less than a full calendar year during the first
or last calendar years of the term hereof, Tenant's Pro Rata Share for such
partial year shall be calculated by proportionately reducing the Real Estate
Taxes and Operating Expenses to reflect the number of months in such year during
which Tenant occupied the Premises. Tenant shall pay its Pro Rata Share within
thirty (30) days following receipt of notice thereof.

     Tenant shall have the right, but not more than once per annum, at any time
within one (1) year after a statement of actual Real Estate Taxes and Operating
Expenses for a particular calendar year has been rendered by, Landlord as
provided herein, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to examine and audit
Landlord's books and records at Landlord's office and during normal business
hours and after reasonable notice to Landlord, relating to the determination of
such Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses.  Unless Tenant objects to the
statement provided by Landlord within sixty (60) days of receipt of such
statement, the adjustment and statement shall be deemed conclusive.

     In the event of any error in the statement, the amount due the other shall
be paid or credited, if applicable, within thirty (30) days of the determination
of the error.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if
Tenant initiates an audit of any statement and such audit reflects an error in
the statement of more than five percent (5%) in the computation of the total
amount of Operating Expenses as set forth in such statement, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in obtaining such
audit.

     Tenant may request that Landlord initiate a tax appeal, not more than once
per annum, and Landlord shall initiate such appeal unless, based upon the
reasonable judgment of Landlord's business consultants, Landlord is advised
otherwise.  If, at any time during the Lease Term, Landlord is awarded proceeds
from a tax protest or appeal arising from taxes paid during the Lease Term,
Landlord shall pay to Tenant its pro rata share of the net proceeds within sixty
(60) days following such final ruling and receipt of such proceeds.

     4.3  Reimbursement Survives Termination.  In the event of the termination
          ----------------------------------
of this Lease by expiration of the stated term or for any other cause or reason
whatsoever prior to the determination of rental adjustment as hereinafter set
forth, Tenant's agreement to reimburse Landlord up to the time of termination
shall survive termination of the Lease and Tenant shall pay any amount due to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor. In the event of
the termination of this Lease by expiration of the stated term or for any other
cause or reason whatsoever, prior to the determination of rental adjustments as
hereinabove set forth, Landlord's agreement to refund any excess additional
rental paid by Tenant up to the time of termination shall survive termination of
the Lease and Landlord shall pay the amount due to Tenant within thirty (30)
days of Landlord's determination of such amount unless Tenant is in default in
which event it shall be credited against sums due Landlord. This covenant shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

     If the last year of the term of this Lease ends on any day other than the
last day of December, any payment due to Landlord of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of
Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs shall be prorated on the basis by which
the number of days in such partial year bears to 365.

     Any failure of Landlord to furnish Tenant with an estimate of its Pro Rata
Share of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses or any statements as set forth
in this Section 4 shall not act to relieve Tenant of its liability therefor; and
with respect to any deficiencies, Tenant agrees to pay same within thirty (30)
days of written demand from Landlord.

                               BUILDING SERVICES
                               -----------------

     5.1  Standard Services.  Landlord shall maintain the base building systems
          -----------------
within the Building (other than those installed by Tenant in the Premises, if
any).  Such base building systems include plumbing, electrical and heating
ventilation and air conditioning equipment.  Specifically, Landlord agrees to
furnish to the Premises during regular business hours from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00
p.m. Mondays through Fridays and from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturdays, except
for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence
Day and Labor Day, and subject to

                                       8
<PAGE>

the rules and regulations of the Building, heat and air conditioning for the use
and occupancy of the Premises, passenger elevator service and freight elevator
service, if any, subject to scheduling by Landlord. The heat and air
conditioning shall be provided to the Premises substantially in accordance with
the Outline Specifications. Landlord shall not be liable for repairs
necessitated by Tenant's misuse, abuse or negligence of said base building
systems. Landlord shall also furnish: (1) electric current to be supplied for
lighting the Premises and public halls and for the operation of Ordinary Office
Equipment, as defined below; (ii) janitorial and cleaning services, and (iii)
domestic water in reasonable quantity. Elevator service shall mean service
either by non-attended automatic elevators or elevators with attendants at the
option of Landlord which shall be available at all times subject to repair,
maintenance, casualty and Force Majeure. Landlord shall also furnish to the
Premises (at rates reasonably set by Landlord, not to exceed its actual costs)
heating and air conditioning during times other than regular business hours and
such other items as are not provided for herein, provided Tenant gives Landlord
not less than twenty-four (24) hours notice of Tenant's needs for such
additional heating or air conditioning; provided however, Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to provide such additional needs to Tenant as soon as
reasonably possible following receipt of Tenant's notice. Landlord shall also,
at said times, maintain and keep lighted the common stairs, entries, and toilet
rooms in the Building that would reasonably be subject to use by Tenant, its
agents and employees during other than regular business hours. Landlord also has
the right to charge Tenant for energy costs, including any increase in utility
rates, incurred because of Tenant's above Building average usage at any time or
by reason of usage of the Premises or the Building during other than regular
business hours. Any additional or above-average usage of services by Tenant
shall be measured in accordance with Landlord's energy management system or by
meter or submeter (at Tenant's expense if Landlord reasonably identifies, after
review of Tenant's space plans, that an area in the Premises is likely to
require additional or above-average usage of services by Tenant) and the costs
to Tenant for such additional services shall be calculated in accordance
therewith. For purposes hereof, Ordinary Office Equipment shall include current
(or comparable to current) everyday office equipment, both in size of the
equipment and number of units utilized within the Premises, for office tenants
in first class office buildings in Briargate Business Campus in Colorado
Springs, Colorado and shall specifically exclude computers or other equipment
that require special cooling, venting or generators for the operation thereof.

     5.2  Interruption of Standard Services.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall
          ---------------------------------
not be liable for failure to supply any heating, air conditioning, elevator,
janitorial services, electric current, or any other service described in Section
5.1 above during any period if Landlord uses reasonable diligence to restore or
to supply such services or electric current, it being further agreed that
Landlord reserves the right to temporarily discontinue such services or any of
them, or electric current at such times as may be necessary by reason of
accident, unavailability of employees, repairs, alterations, or improvements, or
whenever by reason of strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of God, legal requirements
or any other happening or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
If Landlord is unable to furnish such services or electric current, Landlord
shall not be liable for damages to persons or property for any such
discontinuance, nor shall such discontinuance in any way be construed as a
constructive or actual eviction of Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or
operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Landlord's
obligation to furnish services or electric current shall be conditioned upon the
availability of adequate energy sources from the public utility companies
presently serving the Building Complex. Landlord shall have the right to reduce
heating, cooling or lighting within the Premises and in the public area in the
Building as required by any mandatory fuel or energy-saving program.
Furthermore, due to energy code design requirements as promulgated from time to
time, Tenant hereby acknowledges that it may on certain days experience
discomfort with the heating and air conditioning cycle, and Landlord shall have
no responsibility or liability therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
hereby agrees that if there is an interruption or discontinuance of the services
which Landlord has agreed to provide that renders the Premises untenantable and
such interruption or discontinuance is within Landlord's reasonable control and
continues for a period of ten (10) or more consecutive days after Landlord
receives written notice thereof from Tenant (hereinafter referred to as an
"Unauthorized Interruption"), Tenant's rent shall abate, provided Landlord can
recover such rent through Landlord's rent loss/business interruption insurance
covering the Building, commencing at the end of said ten (10) day period and
continuing until such time as the Premises are rendered tenantable, if Landlord
has failed to correct or premeditate the cause of such Unauthorized Interruption
within such ten day period. In any case, if the Unauthorized Interruption is the
result of any willful misconduct or negligent acts on the part of Tenant, its
agents or employees, or due to Tenant's default, Tenant's rent shall not abate.
If Tenant continues to nonetheless use any part of the Premises for conducting
its business,

                                       9
<PAGE>

the rent shall abate only in proportion to the part rendered untenantable and
not so used. Furthermore, if Landlord's rent loss/business interruption
insurance will only cover a portion of Tenant's rent, the rent shall abate only
as to the portion covered by such insurance.

     5.3  Services Paid by Tenant.  Unless otherwise provided by Landlord,
          -----------------------
Tenant shall separately arrange with the applicable local public authorities or
utilities, as the case may be, for the furnishing of and payment for all
telephone services as may be required by Tenant in the use of the Premises.
Tenant shall directly pay for telephone services, including the establishment
and connection thereof, at the rates charged for such services by said authority
or utility, and the failure of Tenant to obtain or to continue to receive such
services for any reason whatsoever shall not relieve Tenant of any of its
obligations under this Lease.

     5.4  Above-Standard Service Requirements.  If heat-generating machines or
          -----------------------------------
equipment other than Ordinary Office Equipment, including telephone equipment,
cause the temperature in the Premises, or any part thereof, to exceed the
temperatures the Building's air conditioning system would be able to maintain in
such Premises were it not for such heat generating equipment, then after notice
to Tenant and reasonable opportunity to cure, Landlord reserves the right to
install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises, and the reasonable
cost thereof, including the cost of installation and the cost of operation and
maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand by
Landlord.

     Tenant shall not, without the written consent of Landlord, use any
apparatus or device which will in any way increase the amount of electricity or
water which Landlord reasonably determines to be reasonable for use of the
Premises as general office space, nor connect with electric current (except
through existing electrical outlets in the Premises) or water pipes any
apparatus or device for the purposes of using electric current, other energy or

servants, agents, employees or anyone permitted by Tenant to be in the Building,
or through it or them, then the reasonable cost of the necessary repairs,
replacements or alterations shall be borne by Tenant who shall pay the same
within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice for such costs to Landlord as

     6.2  Maintenance.  Tenant shall keep the Premises, including all fixtures
          -----------

Article 24 hereof, fails to keep the Premises in such good order, condition and
repair as required hereunder to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord,
Landlord may restore the Premises to such good order and condition and make such

Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional-Rent, upon demand, the cost of
restoring the Premises to such good order and condition and the making of the
repairs.- If as a result of any changes in governmental laws, ordinances, rules
or regulations, the Premises must be altered to lawfully accommodate the use or
occupancy of Tenant, such alterations shall be made only with Landlord's prior
consent, and shall be made in accordance with Article 15 hereof and the entire

party arising from or related to such legal requirements.

          --------------
day in a reasonable condition for the purpose of allowing the performance of

                           ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
                           -------------------------

     7.1  Limitations.  Except as set forth in Section 7.4 below, Tenant shall
          -----------
not assign or in any manner transfer this Lease or any estate or interest
therein or sublet Premises or any part thereof, or grant any license, concession
or other right to occupy any portion of Premises without the prior written
consent of Landlord as set forth herein. Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay consent to any subletting or assignment provided Tenant
requests such consent in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
proposed assignment or subletting and (i) Tenant is not in default (following
written notice and expiration of any applicable cure period) of this Lease, (ii)
the use of the Premises does not violate the Lease, including the Rules and
Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit E, (iii) the proposed sublessee or
                               ---------
assignee has a good business reputation, (iv) Tenant submits and Landlord
approves the most current audited current financials (or such other financial
information as is available) for such sublessee or assignee, but only to the
extent that Tenant intends to assign to such sublessee or assignee its rights to
the Third Expansion Space (as defined in Section 32.8(c))and/or to the Option to
Extend (as set forth in Section 32.10), (v) Tenant submits the form of
assignment or sublease for Landlord's prior reasonable review and approval, such
forms being deemed approved to the extent Tenant uses the forms attached hereto
as Exhibits J and J-1 (without modification) and (vi) such sublessee or assignee
   ------------------
is not a tenant in the Building. Landlord shall provide to Tenant its response
to Tenant's request for assignment or subletting within fifteen (15) days
following the date that Landlord receives such written request from Tenant. If
Landlord does not provide its response within such fifteen (15) day period, the
request shall be deemed disapproved. Landlord acknowledges Tenant's desire to
sublease approximately 7,000 square feet of the Premises to a third party upon
commencement of the Lease Term. Such sublease, however, shall remain subject to
Landlord's consent upon its evaluation of the criteria specified in this Section
7.1. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease or to one or
more subletting of Premises shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights
under this section. Any such assignment or subletting without Landlord's consent
shall be deemed void and confer no rights upon a third party. Notwithstanding
any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the
payment of the rental herein specified and for compliance with all other terms
and conditions of this Lease. Without in any way limiting Landlord's right to
refuse to give consent, Landlord reserves the right in the event it does give
consent to impose such conditions upon its consent as Landlord deems necessary,
including the requirement of additional security which in Landlord's reasonable
business judgment shall insure the existing state of Premises and the rentals
due under this Lease.

     Except as set forth in Section 7.4 below, neither this Lease nor any
interest therein shall be assignable as to the interest of Tenant by operation
of law, without the written consent of Landlord.  Except as permitted pursuant
to Section 7.4 below, a sale by Tenant of all or substantially all of its assets
or all or substantially all of its stock (if Tenant is a publicly traded
corporation); a merger of Tenant with another corporation; or the transfer of
fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the stock of Tenant if Tenant's stock is not
publicly traded; or the transfer of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the
beneficial ownership interest in Tenant if Tenant is a partnership or a limited
liability company without the prior written consent of Landlord, shall
constitute a prohibited assignment hereunder.

     7.2  Acceptance of Performance.  If this Lease be assigned or if the
          -------------------------
Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant,
Landlord may, after a default by Tenant not cured within any applicable notice
and cure period, collect the rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and
apply the net amount collected to the rent or any other amounts owed by Tenant
herein reserved retaining the remainder, if any, for the account of Tenant, but
no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed an
acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as the tenant hereof, or
constitute a release of Tenant from further performance by Tenant of the
covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained.

     7.3  Document Review.  Intentionally Deleted.
          ---------------

     7.4  Affiliated Entities.  Provided Tenant is not in default (following
          -------------------
written notice and expiration of any applicable cure period) hereunder, Tenant
may sublet or assign to any Affiliated Entity (as defined below) without
Landlord's prior consent provided Tenant delivers to Landlord a copy of the
executed sublease or assignment on a Landlord approved form to Landlord within
ten (10) days of such subletting or assignment, which subletting or assignment
shall be subject to all of

                                      12
<PAGE>

the liabilities and obligations set forth herein and Tenant shall not be
released of any of its liabilities hereunder. In no event, however, in the event
of an assignment shall such assignment have any material adverse financial
impact on Tenant's financial status. Tenant shall, prior to such transfer,
provide written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that there shall be
no material adverse financial impact on Tenant or Landlord resulting from such
assignment. For purposes hereof, Affiliated Entity shall mean an entity which
(i) controls, is controlled by, or is in common control with Tenant; or (ii)
results from the merger or consolidation with Tenant or acquires all or
substantially all of the assets or stock of Tenant.

                   ------------------------------------------

     8.1  Transfer of Landlord's Interest.  In the event of a sale, conveyance,
          -------------------------------
or assignment by Landlord of Landlord's interest in the Building Complex (other
than a transfer for security purposes only), Landlord shall be relieved from and
after the date of such transfer or assignment of all of Landlord's obligations
and liabilities accruing thereafter on the part of Landlord if and to the extent
the same are expressly assumed by such assignee or transferee, and in such event
Tenant agrees to look only toward such assignee or transferee of Landlord's
interest for performance of obligations and liabilities arising after the date
of such transfer; provided, however, that no successor landlord shall be
responsible for the return of security deposits unless such successor actually
receives such deposits.

     8.2  Limited Liability of Landlord.  Anything contained in this Lease to
          -----------------------------
the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees that Tenant shall look solely to the
estate of Landlord in the Building Complex and all insurance proceeds in
connection therewith (to the extent such insurance proceeds have not been
expended by Landlord in connection with the Building Complex or are not subject
to any rights of the holders of any mortgages encumbering the Building Complex),
which shall be subordinate to the rights of any lender or mortgagee of Landlord,
for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the
payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach by Landlord
with respect to any of the terms and provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Landlord, subject, however, to the rights of the holder of any
mortgage covering the Building Complex, and no other assets of Landlord, its
partners, agents, employees, officers, or the employees or officers of any of
its partners shall be subject to levy, execution or other judicial process for
the satisfaction of Tenant's claim and Landlord shall not be liable for any such
default or breach except to the extent of Landlord's estate in the Building
Complex and such insurance proceeds as are above-referenced.

                                USE OF PREMISES
                                ---------------

9.1  Use.  Except as expressly permitted by prior written consent of Landlord,
     ---
which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, the Premises shall not be
used other than for general business office purposes.  All use of the Premises
shall comply with the terms of this Lease and all applicable laws, ordinances,
regulations or other governmental ordinances, recorded restrictions, covenants
and easements and association rules and regulations from time to time in
existence, including, without limitation, obtaining any and all necessary
licenses and permits (collectively, "Permits"), to the extent that Tenant has
actual notice thereof or has received copies thereof from Landlord.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord represents
and warrants that the use of the Premises permitted under this Lease is
permitted pursuant to all such Permits.

9.2  Compliance with Rules and Regulations.  Tenant and employees and all
     -------------------------------------
persons visiting or doing business with Tenant in the Premises shall be bound by
and shall observe the Rules and Regulations as set forth in Exhibit E, attached
                                                            ---------
hereto and made a part hereof, which may, at Landlord's reasonable discretion,
be promulgated, amended, or expanded from time to time during the Lease term by
Landlord relating to the Building, the Building Complex and/or the Premises of
which reasonable prior notice in writing shall be given to Tenant and all such
rules and regulations as changed from time to time shall be deemed to be
incorporated into and form a part of this Lease.  Tenant shall further be
responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations by Tenant's
employees, agents, patrons and invitees while in the Building.  Any default in
the performance or

                                      13
<PAGE>

observance of such rules and regulations shall be a default hereunder pursuant
to the terms of Section 24.1 and Landlord shall have all remedies provided for
in Section 24.2 in the event of an uncured default by Tenant. Except as
otherwise provided herein, Landlord however, shall not be responsible to Tenant
for nonobservance by any other tenant or person of any tenant or person of any
such rules and regulations. Landlord agrees to enforce the Rules and Regulations
against Tenant in a manner reasonably consistent with its enforcement of such
rules and regulations against other tenants; however, Tenant acknowledges that
certain rules or regulations may be specific to a tenant or use and that such
rules or regulations may not be applicable to all tenants and cannot be enforced
uniformly. For example, a. tenant with a banquet area in its premises may have
different rules governing preparation and serving of food.

           ------------------
Premises and during the entire term hereof, at its sole cost and expense,

the property manager and mortgages of Landlord (of which Tenant was provided
notice of) named as additional insureds therein as their respective interests
may appear, the following types and kinds of insurance:

          (a) Upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant and

fittings, installations, alterations, additions, partitions, fixtures and
anything in the nature of a leasehold improvement in an amount not less than the
full replacement cost thereof, with a Minimum Coverage on the Special Causes of

automotive liability, tenants' legal liability for the full replacement costs of

$2,000,000 general aggregate for bodily injury and property damage, together
with not less than a $5,000,000 umbrella policy, and such higher limits for all

Landlord, its managers and mortgages (of which Tenant was provided notice) as
additional insureds. All policies shall be primary and noncontributing over any
valid and collectible insurance of any of the additional insureds.

          (c) Any other form or forms of insurance as Landlord or the mortgages
of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in amounts and for
insurance risks consistent with then prevalent insurance industry practices and
policies for comparable tenants of comparable buildings in Colorado Springs,

amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, are in force and effect and

requested. All policies shall be primary and noncontributory over any valid
collectible insurance made available to any of the additional insureds.

certificates of insurance, or, if required by Landlord or the mortgagees of
Landlord, certified copies of each such insurance policies will be delivered to

part of the Premises. All policies shall contain an undertaking by the insurers

Lease pursuant to Section 21.1 herein, Tenant will use the proceeds of such
insurance for the purpose of repairing or restoring such leasehold improvements.

shall pay to Landlord that amount of its insurance proceeds necessary to repair
the leasehold improvements.

           --------------------
hereof insurance for fire, extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief,
insuring the Building Complex (excluding foundations, excavations and other non-
insurable items) for the full replacement cost thereof and with a Minimum
Coverage on the Special Causes of Loss Form including Sprinkler Leakage.
Landlord shall also agree to carry commercial general liability insurance of
$5,000,000 in conjunction with an umbrella policy. Such policies shall be issued
by insurance companies qualified to do business in the State of Colorado.
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take out and carry any other form
or forms of insurance as it or the mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably
determine to be advisable. All costs of such insurance shall be included as
Operating Expenses and notwithstanding any contribution by Tenant to the cost of
insurance premiums, as provided in Article 4, Tenant acknowledges that it has no
right to receive any proceeds from any such insurance policies carried by
Landlord, and that such insurance will be for the sole benefit of Landlord, with
no coverage for Tenant for any risk insured against.

           -----------
extended coverage and/or property damage insurance which is required to be
carried by either shall be endorsed with a subrogation clause, substantially as

writing prior to a loss, any and all right of recovery against any party for
loss occurring to the property described therein"; and each party hereto waives
all claims for recovery from the other party, its officers, agents or employees
for any loss or damage (whether or not such loss or damage is caused by
negligence of the other party), and notwithstanding any provisions contained in
this Lease to the contrary, as a result of damage to any of its real or personal
property insured under valid and collectible insurance policies to the extent of
the collectible recovery under such insurance or which would have been
collectible had the party carried the insurance required to be maintained
hereunder.

that (a) does not constitute a violation or threatened violation of any
Environmental Law or require any reporting or disclosure under any Environmental
Law and (b) is consistent with customary business practice for such operations
in the state where the property is located, provided that such storage or use
does not constitute a release.  Without limitation of the foregoing, if Tenant
causes or permits the presence of any Hazardous Substance on the Premises and
that results in any contamination in violation of Environmental Laws, Tenant
shall promptly, at its sole expense, take any and all necessary or appropriate
actions to return the Premises to the condition required by Environmental Laws.
Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's written approval for any such remedial
action.

                               -----------------

     13.1  Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises
at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice for the purpose of
examining or inspecting the same, to supply janitorial services and any other
services to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to show the same to
prospective purchasers, lenders or investors, and to make such alterations,
repairs, improvements or additions, whether structural or otherwise, to the
Premises or to the Building as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable.

                                INDEMNIFICATION
                                ---------------

     14.1  Indemnification by Tenant.  Subject to the waiver set forth in
           -------------------------
Section 10.3, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and save it harmless from and
against any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs,
expenses, liability or losses (including loss of rentals payable by Tenant or
other tenants in the event of loss either directly or indirectly caused by any
negligent act or omission, willful misconduct or default (whether or not
applicable cure periods have expired) under the Lease of or by Tenant, its
agents, contractors, employees, servants, licensees, or concessionaires or
invitees or by anyone permitted to be on the Premises by Tenant, claims,
actions, damages, liability and expenses arising out of or in connection with
the use and/or occupancy of the Premises, including, without limitation, from
any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises or any part thereof, occasioned
wholly or in part by any negligent act or omission, willful misconduct of Tenant
or default (whether or not applicable cure periods have expired) under the Lease
of or by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, servants, licensees, or
concessionaires or invitees or by anyone permitted to be on the Premises by
Tenant. Subject to the waiver set forth in Section 10.3 above, Tenant shall
additionally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against any
and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, expenses,
liabilities, or losses relating to any violation by Tenant of any Environmental
Law (as hereinafter defined) or of Section 12.2 (including, without limitation,
a decrease in value of the Premises, damages caused by loss or restriction of
rentable or usable space, damages caused by adverse impact on marketing of
space, and any and all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys' fees,
consultant fees, and expert fees, in each case if and to the extent related
directly to such violation) incurred by or asserted against Landlord arising
during or after the term of this Lease as a result thereof. This indemnification
includes, without limitation, any and all reasonable costs incurred because of
any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal, testing, or restoration
mandated or conducted by or on behalf of any federal, state, or local agency or
political subdivision with respect to Tenant's violation of any applicable
Environmental Laws. In the event Landlord shall be made a party to any
litigation commenced by or against Tenant or by anyone permitted to be on the
Premises by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, servants, licensees,
concessionaires or invitees, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord
harmless and shall pay all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's
fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such litigation whether or
not such action is contested or prosecuted to judgment, subject to Section 28.12
hereof. All personal property on the Premises shall be at Tenant's sole risk,
and Landlord shall not be liable for, and subject to the waiver set forth in
Section 10.3 hereof, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any

                                      17
<PAGE>

liability in connection with, any damage done to or loss of such personal
property or for damage or loss suffered by Tenant, unless due to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or employees acting
within the scope of their employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
indemnification obligations set forth herein shall not be applicable to the
extent that the act from which the indemnity arose was caused by the willful or
grossly negligent acts of the Landlord.

     14.2  Indemnification by Landlord.  Other than as expressly set forth in
           ---------------------------
that certain Phase I Environmental Report dated August, 1997 and prepared by
CTL/Thompson Inc. (a copy of which has been provided to Tenant), Landlord has no
actual knowledge of the release or disposal of any Hazardous Substances within
the Building Complex and, except for De Minimis Amounts, Landlord shall not
cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be used, stored, generated or
disposed of on, in or about the Building Complex in violation of any applicable
Environmental Laws. Subject to the waiver set forth in Section 10.3, Landlord
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and
all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, expenses, liabilities
or losses arising from any governmental entity or other third party seeking to
enforce against Tenant or seeking damages from Tenant, or seeking to join Tenant
in any legal action pertaining to the violation by Landlord of any Environmental
Law(s). Subject to the waiver set forth in Section 10.3, Landlord agrees to
further indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless of and from all liability,
loss, damages, costs or expenses on account of bodily injury to the person of
Tenant or of any third party rightfully in the Building Complex or property
damage of any such third party, where the injuries or property damage are caused
by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or
employees acting within the scope of their employment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the indemnification obligations set forth herein shall not be
applicable to the extent that the act from which the indemnity arose was caused
by the willful or grossly negligent acts of the Tenant. The indemnity set forth
in this Section 14.2 shall not be binding upon any Mortgagee and Tenant shall
look solely to the respective landlord when such landlord is finally held to
have violated the Environmental Law or caused injury or damage as set forth
above. Neither the predecessor in interest nor the successor in interest to such
landlord shall be liable to Tenant for this indemnity.

     14.3  Comparative Fault.  To the extent that either Landlord or Tenant
           -----------------
(inclusive of their respective employees, agents, contractors, servants,
concessionaires, licensees, or invitees) is finally held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be partially at fault for any claim for which an indemnity
obligation arises hereunder, then neither Landlord nor Tenant as against each
other shall indemnify, defend or hold the other harmless and each party shall be
liable only to the extent of the percentage of its own fault as finally held by
the court of competent jurisdiction.

                                  ALTERATIONS
                                  -----------

     15.1  Alterations by Tenant.  Other than (i) alterations of a cosmetic
           ---------------------
nature, including painting, carpeting, wall coverings or such other
modifications of a similar nature and (ii) alterations resulting in a total cost
to Tenant of $10,000.00 or less per event, Tenant shall not make, install or
erect in or to the Premises any installations, alterations, modifications,
additions or partitions without obtaining a building permit therefor, if
applicable, and without submitting the drawings and specifications to Landlord
and obtaining Landlord's prior written consent in each instance, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (in no event shall Tenant be
permitted to make any alterations to any building systems, structural,
mechanical, electrical or otherwise, or to any portion of the Building or
Building Complex other than within the Premises as shown in the Final Plans
approved pursuant to the Work Plan). Furthermore, Tenant shall obtain Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, to any change or changes in such drawings or specifications submitted
as aforesaid. Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost to Landlord of having its
architects, engineers, or other consultants review such plans and changes
thereto prior to proceeding with any work based on such drawings or
specifications. All such work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner, free and clear of all mechanic's liens, and in compliance with the
provisions of Article II hereof, and once commenced shall be diligently pursued
through completion, and Landlord shall have no liability for the performance of
such work, notwithstanding its consent to any plans and specifications. PROVIDED
NEVERTHELESS that Landlord may, at its option, at Tenant's expense, require that
Landlord's contractors be engaged for any mechanical or electrical work or other
leasehold improvement affecting the base building systems for the Building
Complex. Without limiting the generality of

                                      18
<PAGE>

the foregoing, any work performed by or for Tenant shall be performed by
competent workmen whose labor union affiliations are not incompatible with those
of any workmen who may be employed in the Building Complex by Landlord, its
contractors or subcontractors. In addition to the above all contractors and
subcontractors must meet Landlord's specifications, as reasonably determined by
Landlord, for minimum requirements for insurance, bonds, quality of work,
experience and such other reasonably applicable factors. Tenant shall submit to
Landlord's supervision over construction, shall, if the total cost for any such
alteration will exceed S50,000, provide Landlord upon request with financial
assurances prior to the commencement of such alteration, and promptly pay to
Landlord's or Tenant's subcontractors, as the case may be, when due, the costs
of all such work and of all materials, labor and services involved therein and
of all decoration and all changes in the Building, its equipment or services
necessitated thereby. Tenant covenants that Tenant will not suffer or permit
during the Term hereof any mechanics' or other liens for work, labor, services
or materials ordered by Tenant or for the cost of which Tenant may be in any way
obligated, to attach to the Premises or to the Building Complex and that
whenever and so often as any such liens shall attach or claims therefor shall be
filed, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Tenant has notice of the
claim for lien, procure the discharge thereof by payment or by giving security
or in such other manner as is or may be required or permitted by law or which
shall otherwise satisfy Landlord and or Landlord's mortgagee. Tenant hereby
indemnifies and saves Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss,
liability, damage, penalty, cost expense or fee (including, without limitation,
court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by or asserted against
Landlord as a result of the existence of any lien against the Building, Premises
or the Property arising from any labor, materials or other claims against Tenant
or work or materials ordered by or for Tenant. Tenant shall, at its own cost and
expense, take out or cause to be taken out any additional insurance reasonably
required by Landlord to protect Landlord's, the mortgagee's and Tenant's
interest during the period of alteration, to the extent commercially
reasonable..

   At least five (5) days prior to the commencement of any work permitted to be
done by persons requested by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant shall notify
Landlord of the proposed work and the names and addresses of the persons
supplying labor and materials for the proposed work so that Landlord may avail
itself of the provisions of statutes such as Section 38-22-105(2) of the
Colorado Revised Statutes (1973). During any such work on the Premises,
Landlord, or its representatives, shall have the right to go upon and inspect
the Promises at all reasonable times, and shall have the right to post and keep
posted thereon notices such as those provided for by Section 38-22-105(2) C.R.S.
(1973) or to take any further commercially reasonable action which Landlord may
deem to be proper for the protection of Landlord's interest in the Premises.

   15.2  Alterations by Landlord. Provided such change does not in any way
         -----------------------
materially adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises as contemplated herein,
Landlord hereby reserves the right at any time and from time to time and without
any liability to Tenant for any claims, to make changes in, additions to,
subtractions from or rearrangements of the Building Complex, including, without
limitation, all improvements at any time thereof, all entrances and exits
thereto, and to grant, modify and terminate easements or other agreements
pertaining to the Building Complex, including, but not limited to, the entrance
foyer and lobby, and the common corridors and to make changes or additions to
the pipes, conduits, ducts, utilities and other building services in the
Premises which serve other portions of the Building, provided further that prior
to the Commencement Date, Landlord may alter the Premises to the extent found
necessary by Landlord to accommodate changes in construction design or
facilities including major alterations but the Premises, as altered, shall be in
all material aspects comparable to the Premises as defined herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord intends to materially modify the
scope of work with respect to construction of the Building from that which is
set forth in the Outline Specifications and Site Plan attached hereto, Landlord
agrees to notify Tenant of the same and to obtain Tenant's consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to such modification. If Tenant does
not respond to Landlord within five (5) business days following written
notification by Landlord, such non-response shall be deemed an approval of such
modification. Any expense by Landlord of the above rights including entry upon
the Premises shall be without liability to Tenant, including any claims of
interference and without affecting this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under
this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable effort to avoid interference with
Tenant's business in the Premises.

display, inscribe, place or affix any sign, picture, advertisements, notice,
lettering or direction on any part of the Building Complex or in the interior of
the Premises or other portion of the Building.  Landlord will prescribe a
uniform pattern of identification signs for tenants to be placed on the outside
corridor wall which is near the door leading into the Premises and will provide
for standard directory identification in the lobby of the Building and other
than such identification signs, Tenant shall not install, paint, display,
inscribe, place or affix, or otherwise attach, any sign, picture, advertisement,
notice, lettering or direction on the inside or outside of the Premises for
exterior view without the written consent of Landlord which may be given or
withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.  The costs for installation of the

                 SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES AND DEEDS OF TRUST
                 ---------------------------------------------

     17.1  Subject to Landlord's obligation to obtain for Tenant non-disturbance
agreements in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 17, this
Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall be and are hereby made subject
and subordinate to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust now or hereafter
existing against the Building Complex and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all advances made, or
hereafter to be made, upon the security thereof.  Although such subordination
shall be self-operating, Tenant, or its successors in interest, shall upon
Landlord's request, execute and deliver within ten (10) business days any and
all instruments desired by Landlord, subordinating, in the manner reasonably
requested by Landlord, this Lease to any such mortgage or deed of trust.  If
Tenant fails to return the subordination documents within ten (10) business days
then all subordination documents at Landlord's option shall irrevocably and
conclusively be deemed affirmed and approved by Tenant and Landlord may exercise
any other right or remedy for Tenant's failure to execute and return the
subordination documents.

     Should any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Building Complex be
foreclosed, then:

           (a)  except for certain maintenance and repair obligations that are
of a continuing nature (and continue beyond the date of transfer to the extent
of such continuance), the liability of the mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser
at such foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu of foreclosure shall exist only as
to the liability and obligations of Landlord accruing or arising after the date
of such transfer and only so long as such mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser is
the owner of the Building Complex and such liability shall not continue or
survive after further transfer of ownership; and

           (b)  the liability for any security deposits or prepaid rents of the
mortgagee, beneficiary or purchaser at such foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu
of foreclosure sale shall exist only to the extent that the mortgagee,
beneficiary or purchaser actually received the security deposits or prepaid
rents and failed to apply such sums in accordance with the Lease or, if
applicable, failed to transfer or assign such sums to any subsequent purchaser
or transferee.

           (c)  Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned, as Tenant under this
Lease, to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale thereunder or transferee
pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect as a direct lease between and binding upon Tenant and such
purchaser or transferee, subject to the terms of any subordination and non-
disturbance agreements obtained as set forth in this Article 17.

     As used in this Article 17 "mortgagee" and "beneficiary" shall include
successors and assigns of any such party, whether immediate or remote, the
purchaser of any mortgage or deed of trust, whether at foreclosure or otherwise,
and the successors, assigns and mortgagees and beneficiaries of such purchaser,
whether immediate or remote.

     Landlord agrees to obtain a non-disturbance agreement from its current
construction lender, ORIX Real Estate Equities, Inc., in a form satisfactory to
such lender and approved by Tenant, and at the written request of Tenant, agrees
to grant to Tenant a non-disturbance agreement from Landlord. The subordination
and attornment set forth in this Article 17 are expressly subject to receipt by
Tenant from any future mortgagee or beneficiary of a non-disturbance agreement
with respect to Tenant, which agreement shall be evidenced on such mortgagee's
standard form of nondisturbance agreement (or on a commercially reasonable form
acceptable to mortgagee if mortgagee does not have a standard form), stating
that Tenant's right to the continued use and possession of the Premises shall be
under the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease provided that at
such time Tenant is not in default of its obligations herein. All of the
provisions of this Article 17 will be effective including without limitation
subsections (a) through (c) set forth above. Tenant shall execute any
subordination and attornment and non-disturbance agreement that conforms to the
conditions set forth herein within ten (10) business days after receipt thereof.
Failure of any party to return the subordination and attornment and non-
disturbance agreement set forth in this Article 17 within the ten (10) business
day period shall conclusively and irrevocably be deemed an affirmation and
approval of such agreements by the applicable party and the requesting party may
exercise any other right or remedy for such other party's failure to properly
and/or timely execute and return such agreements.

           --------------------
from time to time, upon request by the other (for the benefit of the requesting
party and its designated proposed mortgagee or purchaser), execute and deliver
to the other within ten (10) business days after demand therefor an estoppel
certificate on a commercially reasonable form (or the form of any prospective
mortgagee or purchaser) certifying, among other items, 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 so modified) and, to the best of
such party's knowledge, there are no defaults under the Lease or if so
specifying such defaults. Failure to return the estoppel certificate within the
ten (10) business day period shall conclusively and irrevocably be deemed an
affirmation and approval of the estoppel certificate by such party and the
requesting party may exercise any other right or remedy for such other party's
failure to properly and/or timely execute and return the estoppel certificate.

     18.2  Financial Information.  Tenant shall, from time to time at reasonable

year, deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenant's most recent audited financial
statements, which audited financial statements shall be prepared by Tenant or
Tenant's accountant no less often than once per year in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principals ("GAAP"), any interim financial
statements which have been prepared after the date of the most current audited
financial statement, and 10-Q's or 10-K's when issued, if any.

covenants and agrees that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have possession of

placed there by Tenant or Landlord, shall, immediately upon such placement,

repair, maintain or insure such installations, alterations, additions,

made or installed by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord may elect that any or all
installations made or installed by or on behalf of Tenant be removed at the end
of the Lease Term and, if Landlord so elects, it shall be Tenant's obligation to
restore the Premises to the condition it was in previous to such alterations,
installations, partitions and fixtures, on or before the termination of this
Lease. Such removal and restoration shall be at the sole expense of Tenant.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, to the extent that
Landlord's consent to any such installation as set forth above is required,
Landlord, if it gives such consent, will, if requested by Tenant, notify Tenant
as to whether removal of such installation will be required.

                             ---------------------

     21.1  Casualty.  In the event that the Building should be totally
           --------
destroyed by fire, tornado or other casualty, or should be so damaged that
rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed in Landlord's reasonable estimation
within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage, Landlord
may, at its option, terminate this Lease in which event the rent shall be abated
during the unexpired portion of this Lease effective with the date of such
damage, or Landlord may proceed to rebuild the Building and the Premises. In the
event the Building should be damaged by fire, tornado or other casualty, but
only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs in Landlord's reasonable
estimation can be completed within one hundred eighty (I 80) days after the date
of such damage, or if the damage cannot be repaired within such time frame but
Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease, in such event, Landlord shall,
promptly following receipt of all applicable permits and insurance proceeds, but
in no event more than ninety (90) days after the date of such damage commence to
rebuild or repair the Building and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to
restore the Building to substantially the same condition in which it was
immediately prior to the happening of the casualty, except that Landlord shall
not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions,
fixtures and other improvements which may have been placed by Tenant or other
tenants within the Building. If the Premises are damaged and in Landlord's
reasonable estimation the repairs cannot be completed within two hundred ten
(210) days after the date of such damage, then if Landlord has not otherwise
terminated the Lease Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease within ninety (90)
days of the date of such damage. In the event any mortgagee under a deed of
trust, security agreement or mortgage on the Building should require that the
insurance proceeds be used to retire the mortgage debt, Landlord shall have no
obligation to rebuild and if Landlord so elects, this Lease shall terminate upon
notice to Tenant. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, any insurance which
may be carried by Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage to the Building or
to the Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such
insurance and under its sole control. If Tenant's Premises are untenantable and
Landlord does not complete the repair thereof within the time periods estimated
by Landlord, subject to extension thereof by Force Majeure, and such failure to
complete is not a result of Tenant Delay, then Tenant may elect to terminate
this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, if during
such thirty (30) day period the repairs are not completed by Landlord. If Tenant
does not so elect to terminate and Landlord elects to rebuild the Building or
portions thereof, so long as Tenant provides Landlord with the plans and if
specifications necessary for the re-construction of its leasehold improvements
and the insurance proceeds or other source of funds provided by Tenant are
collectively sufficient in amount to cover such administrative, hard and soft
construction, and such other costs incurred by Landlord, Landlord agrees to re-
construct Tenant's damaged leasehold improvements for and on behalf of Tenant.

     21.2  Casualty Caused by Tenant.  If fire or other casualty causing injury
           -------------------------
to the Premises or other parts of the Building shall have been caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants or employees,
or by any other persons entering the Building under express or implied
invitation of Tenant, such injury may be repaired by Landlord at the expense of
Tenant provided such injury is not recoverable under any applicable insurance
policy covering the Premises or the Building (required to be carried under this
Lease), and in no event shall Tenant have any right to terminate or abate rent.

     21.3  Rent.  If the Lease is not terminated then Base Rent and Tenant's
           ----
Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be equitably

     22.1  Eminent Domain.  If five percent (5%) or more of the Rentable Area
           --------------
of the Premises is taken by eminent domain, or by conveyance in lieu thereof,
and if such taking interferes substantially with Tenant's use of the Premises in
Tenant's reasonable determination, then this Lease, at the option of either
party evidenced by notice to the other given within thirty (30) days from such
taking or conveyance, shall forthwith cease and terminate entirely. In the event
of such termination of this Lease, then rental shall be due and payable to the
actual date of such termination. If less than five percent (5%) of the Rentable
Area of the Premises is taken, or if five percent (5%) or more of the Premises
is taken and neither party terminates this Lease, this Lease shall cease and
terminate as to that portion of the Premises so taken as of the date of such
taking, and the rental thereafter payable under this Lease shall be abated pro
rata from the date of such taking in an amount by which that portion of the
Rentable Area of the Premises so taken shall bear to the Rentable Area of the
Premises prior to such taking. If any part of the Building Complex shall be
taken by eminent domain, or by conveyance in lieu thereof, and if such taking
substantially interferes with Landlord's ownership or use of the Building
Complex in Landlord's reasonable determination, Landlord, at its option, may
upon ninety (90) days' notice to Tenant (or such longer period of time allowed
by the subject taking), terminate this Lease as of the date specified in such
notice.

     22.2  Damages.  All compensation awarded for any taking (or the proceeds of
           -------
private sale in lieu thereof) of the Premises or Building Complex shall be the
property of Landlord and Tenant hereby assigns its interest in any such award to
Landlord; provided, however, Landlord shall have no interest in any award made
to Tenant for the taking of Tenant's fixtures and other personal property or
moving expenses if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.

     22.3  Restoration.  If both Landlord and Tenant elect not to terminate this
           -----------
Lease, Tenant shall remain in that portion of the Premises which shall not have
been appropriated or taken as herein provided, and Landlord agrees, at
Landlord's sole cost and expense (to the extent of proceeds received), to, as
soon as reasonably possible, restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a
complete unit of like quality and character as existed prior to such
appropriation or taking.

insurance required to be carried hereunder, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in
the event of any claims arising out of damages to the same, including any
subrogation claim by Tenant's insurers;

other notices of nonpayment during such calendar year and any such other event
of nonpayment shall cause an automatic event of default under this Lease.

           (b)  Tenant shall fail to comply with any term, provision or
covenant of this Lease, other than payment of rent or other sums due to
Landlord, and shall not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written

completion, provides Landlord with reasonably satisfactory evidence of same and
the cure period does not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date such
cure was timely commenced.

           (h)  Tenant fails to deliver the instruments pursuant to Articles 17

     24.2  Remedies of Landlord.  Upon the occurrence of any such events of
           --------------------
default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue (in accordance with applicable
law) any one or more of the following remedies without any notice or demand
whatsoever:

           (a)  Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately
surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may,
without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or
arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or
remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any
part thereof, by force if necessary, without being liable for prosecution of any
claim of damages therefor.

           (b)  Without terminating the Lease, enter upon and take possession
of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be
occupying such Premises or any part thereof, by force if necessary, without
being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and relet the
Premises and receive the rent therefor.

           (c)  Enter upon the Premises, by force if necessary, without being
liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and do whatever Tenant
is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to
reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus
effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Tenant
further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to
Tenant from such action, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord.

           (d)  Alter all locks and other security devices at the Premises
without terminating this Lease.

     In the event Landlord may elect to regain possession of the Premises by
forcible detainer proceeding, Tenant hereby specifically waives, to the extent
permitted by law, any statutory notice which may be required prior to such
proceeding, and agrees that Landlord's execution of this Lease, is in part
consideration for this waiver.

     Exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the remedies hereunder granted
or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of
the Premises by Tenant, whether by agreement or by operation of law, it being
understood that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of
Landlord and Tenant.  No such alteration of locks or other security devices and
no removal or other exercise of dominion by Landlord over the property of Tenant
or others at the Premises shall be deemed unauthorized or constitute a
conversion, provided the same is performed substantially in accordance with all
applicable laws, Tenant hereby consenting, after any event of default, to the
aforesaid exercise of dominion over Tenant's property within the

                                      25
<PAGE>

Premises. All claims for damages by reason of such reentry and/or repossession
and/or alteration of locks or other security devices are hereby waived, provided
the same is performed substantially in accordance with all applicable laws, as
all claims for damages by reason of any distress warrant, forcible detainer
proceedings, sequestration proceedings or other legal process, to the extent
permitted by law. Tenant agrees that any reentry by Landlord may be pursuant to
judgment obtained in forcible detainer proceedings or other legal proceedings or
without the necessity for any legal proceedings, as Landlord may elect, and
Landlord shall not be liable in trespass or otherwise, provided the same is
performed substantially in accordance with all applicable laws.

     In the event Landlord elects to terminate the Lease by reason of an event
of default then notwithstanding such termination, Tenant shall be liable for and
shall pay to Landlord, at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein,
the sum of all rental and other indebtedness accrued to date of such
termination, plus, as damages, an amount equal to the total rental hereunder for
the remaining portion of the Lease term (had such term not been terminated by
Landlord prior to the date of expiration as stated herein) less the Market Base
Rental Rate (determined in accordance with Section 32.10 hereof) for such
remaining term (net of all reasonably estimated costs of re-leasing for such
remaining term).

     In the event that Landlord elects to repossess the Premises without
terminating the Lease, then Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord
at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein, all rental and other
indebtedness accrued to the date of such repossession, plus rent required to
paid by Tenant to Landlord during the remainder of the Lease term until the date
of expiration of the term as stated herein diminished by any net sums thereafter
received by Landlord through relenting the Premises during such period (after
deducting expenses incurred by Landlord as provided below).  In no event shall
Tenant be entitled to any excess of any rental obtained by reletting over and
above the rental herein reserved.  Actions to collect amounts due by Tenant to
Landlord under this subparagraph may be brought from time to time, on one or
more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until expiration of
the Lease term.

     In the event of any default or breach by Tenant, not cured within any
applicable grace period, Tenant shall also be liable and shall pay to Landlord,
in addition to any sums provided to be paid above, broker's fees incurred by
Landlord in connection with reletting the whole or any part of the Premises; the
costs of removing and storing Tenant's or other occupants' property; the costs
of repairing, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into
condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants; and all reasonable expenses
incurred by Landlord in enforcing or defending Landlord's rights and/or
remedies, including reasonable attorney's fees whether suit was actually filed
or not.

     In the event of termination or repossession of the Premises for an event of
default, Landlord shall not have any obligation to relet or attempt to relet the
Premises or any portion thereof, or to collect rental after reletting; and in
the event of reletting, Landlord may relet the whole or any portion of the
Premises, or let the Premises as part of a larger premises, for any period to
any tenant and for any use or purpose.

     If Tenant shall fail to make any payment or cure any default hereunder
within the time herein permitted, Landlord, without being under any obligation
to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may make such payment and/or
remedy such other default for the account of Tenant (and enter the Premises for
such purpose), and thereupon Tenant shall be obligated to, and hereby agrees to
pay Landlord upon demand all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements,
including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in taking such
remedial action.

     Landlord is entitled to accept, receive in cash or deposit any payment made
by Tenant for any reason or purpose or in any amount whatsoever, and apply the
same at Landlord's option to any obligation of Tenant and the same shall not
constitute payment of any amount owed except that to which Landlord has applied
the same.  No endorsement or statement on any check or letter of Tenant shall be
deemed an accord and satisfaction or recognized for any purpose whatsoever.  The
acceptance of any such check or payment shall be without prejudice to Landlord's
rights to recover any and all amounts owed by Tenant hereunder and shall not be
deemed to cure any other default nor prejudice Landlord's rights to pursue any
other available remedy.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord

Premises prior to any other available space in the Building or any building
owned by Landlord or an affiliated entity of Landlord.

     24.3  Landlord's Default.  Landlord shall not be deemed in default
           ------------------

specifying such default with particularity and Landlord shall thereupon have

reasonably be cured within such period wherein Landlord shall not be in default
if it commences to cure the default within the thirty (30) day period and
diligently pursues completion of same for a period not to exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days.

     30.1  Tenant agrees not to place this Lease of record unless requested to
execute a Memorandum of Lease by Landlord, which may, at Landlord's option, be

     31.1  Tenant and Landlord each represent and warrant to the other,
respectively, that it has not dealt with any broker in connection with this
Lease, and that insofar as such party knows, no other broker negotiated or
participated in the negotiations of this Lease, or submitted or showed the

brokers, Highlands Commercial Group) and each party agrees to indemnify the
other against any liability arising from a breach of their respective

                               OTHER PROVISIONS
                               ----------------

     32.1  Rent Concession.  Provided there is no uncured event of default as
           ---------------
set forth in Article 24 of this Lease, Landlord agrees that it shall not demand
from nor shall Tenant be obligated to pay, the Base Rent for the Premises and
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for a period
equivalent to three (3) months (the "Rent Concession") from the date that
Tenant's obligation to pay rent would otherwise commence. If the date that
Tenant's obligation to commence paying Base Rent under the Lease commences on a
day other than the first day of a calendar month then this Rent Concession shall
expire on the same day of the third month thereafter, and Tenant shall pay in
advance on the last day of the Rent Concession the prorated rent due for the
remaining portion of the month.

     32.2  Moving Concession.  Provided there is no uncured event of default as
           -----------------
set forth in Article 24 of this Lease, Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within
two (2) days after the later of the expiration of the Rent Concession or the
cure of any default a sum equal to $3.00 per rentable square foot of the
Premises.

     32.3  Exercise Facility.  Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right (at no
           -----------------
additional cost to Tenant other than its pro rata share of operating and
maintenance expenses) to use the fitness center in the Building, subject to the
reasonable rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by Landlord
regarding such use. Such fitness center shall include one (1) weight machine,
two (2) treadmills and two (2) Stairmasters or like kind equipment. Tenant
acknowledges that there are risks associated with the use of such facilities and
that Landlord makes no representations or warranties of any kind or nature
regarding the Exercise Facility and that all use is at the sole risk of Tenant
and that any claims arising from the Exercise Facility are specifically included
in the indemnity set forth in Article 14 hereof.

     32.4  Base Rent Adjustment.  If the total actual cost of Tenant
           --------------------
Improvements is less than $34.11 per rentable square foot of the Premises as
determined by Landlord within ninety (90) days of completion then Landlord
agrees that the Base Rent of $15.90 per rentable square foot of the Premises
shall be reduced based upon a factor of ten percent (10%) return on cost. For
example, if

                                      30
<PAGE>

the actual cost of Tenant Improvements is equal to $33.00 RSF, then the Base
Rent of $15.90 RSF would be $15.79 RSF. Furthermore, if Landlord's payments to
Space Planner made pursuant to Exhibit C are less than $1.55 RSF, then the Base
                               ---------
Rent shall be decreased by a factor of ten percent (10%) return on cost unless
the savings are applied elsewhere by Tenant.

     32.5  Parking.  Landlord agrees that, subject to applicable zoning and
           -------
condemnation, the Building shall be constructed to provide four (4) non-
exclusive parking spaces for every 1,000 rentable square  feet of leasable space
in the Building, inclusive of handicapped and visitor parking (the "Parking
Ratio"). Landlord represents and warrants that the Parking Ratio set forth
herein is permitted for the Building under applicable zoning regulations in
effect as of the date of this Lease. Landlord agrees that it shall not initiate
a change in applicable zoning which would result in a decreases in the Parking
Ratio, without first obtaining Tenant's consent thereto, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant agrees to comply and cause its
employees and invitees to comply with rules and regulations governing parking as
promulgated by Landlord from time to time. Tenant agrees that its use of parking
shall not exceed the "Parking Ratio" as such ratio applies to its Premises with
appropriate adjustment for handicap and visitor parking. Landlord agrees that
parking provided to any other tenant in the Building Complex will also be on a
nonexclusive basis and that the Parking Ratio will be enforced uniformly among
all tenants of the Building.

     32.6  Access System.  Landlord agrees to cause the Building to be
           -------------
constructed with a card reader type of entry system for after-hours access to
the Building. Landlord also agrees to cause the installation of an after-hours
telephone system such that after-hours visitors may contact tenants of the
Building to gain access thereto. Tenant agrees to comply and to cause its
employees, agents, invitees and contractors to comply with reasonable rules and
regulations promulgated from time to time by Landlord regarding same, and Tenant
agrees to pay Landlord's actual cost for the initial cards, if any, and for
replacement cards issued to Tenant with respect to the system. The system may be
updated or replaced with a system which provides comparable or better after-
hours access from time to time in Landlord's reasonable discretion. Any costs
relating to the system would be an Operating Expense, to the extent permitted
pursuant to Article 4 hereof, unless caused by Tenant, its employees, agents,
invitees or contractors.

     32.7  Exterior Signage.  Provided there is no uncured default hereunder
           ----------------
(following expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods) Landlord agrees
that Tenant may install one sign on the parapet of the west side of the
Building.  Although Landlord shall assure that electrical power is available for
the signage, all costs for fabrication, installation, maintenance and removal of
the sign shall be at Tenant's sole cost.  Landlord, at Tenant's cost, may
install a check meter or submeter for determining the cost of the power utilized
by the sign, which shall be paid within thirty (30) days of Tenant's receipt of
demand therefor from Landlord.  Tenant agrees to keep and maintain all signage
in good condition and repair during the term of the Lease and any extended term.
Upon termination of this Lease Tenant shall immediately remove its signage and
repair any damage caused thereby.  If Tenant fails to maintain or remove the
signage in accordance herewith, Landlord upon five (5) days prior written notice
to Tenant may maintain or remove the signage and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for same upon demand.  Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any acts
of Landlord with regard to the signage if such acts of Landlord arose by reason
of Tenant's failure to maintain or remove the signage in accordance herewith.
Tenant also agrees to pay upon demand Landlord's reasonable estimate of the
electrical costs for such signage.

     32.8  Options to Expand.  Provided (i) there is no uncured event of
           -----------------
default as set forth in Article 24 and (ii) Tenant has not sublet or assigned
any portion of the Premises except to an Affiliated Entity as set forth in
Section 7.4 of the Lease or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Lease,
Tenant shall have the following rights to expand:

           (a)  First Expansion Right.  During the first eighteen (18) months
                ---------------------
of the Lease Term, Tenant may elect to lease any then unleashed and available
space in the Building (the "First Expansion Space") which right must be
exercised in writing and received by Landlord on or before the last day of the
eighteenth (18th) month. The exact configuration of the space is subject to the
reasonable prior approval of Landlord based upon considerations concerning the
leasability of any adjoining unleased space. The First Expansion Space shall
become a part of the Premises pursuant to the terms of the Lease on the same
terms and conditions as this Lease except (i) Base Rent shall be the Base Rent
as then escalated, (ii) the Tenant Improvement Allowance including the allowance

                                      31
<PAGE>

for the Space Planner shall be adjusted to the actual per rentable square foot
cost of the Tenant Improvement costs for the initial Premises and shall be
reduced proportionately based upon the shorter remaining term of the Lease and
(iii) the Rent Concession and Moving Allowance shall not be applicable. Rent for
the First Expansion Space shall commence on the earlier of Substantial
Completion of the First Expansion Space or the last day of the eighteenth (18th)
month.

           (b)  Second Expansion Right.  Tenant shall lease on the first day of
                ----------------------
the fourth Lease Year 4,500 rentable square feet of contiguous space on the
second floor as shown on Exhibit A-2 attached hereto (the "Second Expansion
                         -----------
Space"). This expansion right is in fact an obligation of Tenant and not an
option. The preconditions to exercise as set forth above are not applicable. The
Second Expansion Space shall become a part of the Premises on the same terms as
applicable to the First Expansion Space except that (i) the Tenant Improvement
Allowance including the allowance for the Space Planner shall be reduced
proportionately based upon the shorter remaining term of the Lease, (ii) Base
Rent shall commence on the earlier of Substantial Completion of the Second

Building (the "Third Expansion Space"). The exact site and configuration shall
be determined by Landlord and Landlord shall make such space available to Tenant
between the sixtieth (60th) and seventy-second (72nd) month of the Lease Term,
but in any event Landlord must have received Tenant's written election to
exercise this Third Expansion Right no later than the last day of the fifty-
ninth (59th) month of the Lease Term. The Third Expansion Space shall be added
to the Premises on the same terms as this Lease except (i) Base Rent shall be
equal to the Market Base Rental Rate but not greater than $1.50 per rentable
square foot above the Base Rent as escalated nor less than the Base Rent as
escalated, (ii) the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be $2.00 per rentable
square foot of the Third Expansion Space per lease year remaining of the Lease
Term prorated for any partial year, however, Tenant may elect to increase the
Tenant Improvement Allowance for such Third Expansion Space by $1.00 per
rentable square foot of the Third Expansion Space per Lease Year for the term of
such expansion in which event Base Rent shall be increased accordingly
amortizing such costs over the term of the Lease at nine percent (9%) per annum
and (iii) the Rent Concession and Moving Allowance shall not be applicable. The
obligation to pay rent shall commence upon Substantial Completion of the Third
Expansion Space or 72nd month, whichever is earlier. To the extent of any
dispute concerning Market Base Rental Rate, it shall be determined in accordance
with Section 32.10 of this Lease.

           (d)  Fourth Expansion Right.  Tenant shall upon not less than twelve
                ----------------------

such space available to Tenant between the ninetieth (90th) and one hundred
second (102nd) month of the Lease Term, but in any event Landlord must have
received Tenant's written election to exercise this Fourth Expansion Right no
later than the last day of the eighty-ninth (89th) month of the Lease Term. The
Fourth Expansion Space shall be added to the Premises on the same terms as this
Lease except (i) Base Rent shall be equal to Market Base Rental Rate but not
greater than $1.50 per rentable square foot above the Base Rent as escalated nor
less than the Base Rent as escalated, (ii) the Tenant Improvement Allowance
shall be $2.00 per rentable square foot of the Fourth Expansion Space per lease
year remaining of the Lease Term prorated for any partial year, however, Tenant
may elect to increase the Tenant Improvement Allowance for such Fourth Expansion
Space by $1.00 per rentable square foot of the Fourth Expansion Space per Lease
Year for the ten-n of such expansion in which event Base Rent shall be increased
accordingly amortizing such costs over the term of the Lease at nine percent
(9%) per annum and (iii) the Rent Concession and Moving Allowance shall not be
applicable. The obligation to pay rent shall commence upon Substantial
Completion of the Fourth Expansion Space or 102nd month, whichever is earlier.
To the extent of any dispute concerning Market Base Rental Rate, it shall be
determined in accordance with Section 32.10 of this Lease.

                                      32
<PAGE>

     (e)  Miscellaneous Expansion Provisions.
          ----------------------------------

          (i)   Landlord's obligation to deliver space is subject to Tenant not
having previously leased such space in the Building.

          (ii)  Time is of the essence hereof Failure of Tenant to give notices
in accordance herewith shall render all options (except the Second Expansion
Option) null and void.

          (iii) As "expansion premises" are added to the Premises, the Lease
shall be amended and Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be increased accordingly.

          (iv)  If the Third and/or Fourth Expansion Options are exercised and
there are less than thirty-six (36) months remaining on the then Lease Term,
upon exercise of either such option, the Lease Term shall be automatically
extended so that there are thirty-six (36) months remaining from the date that
rent commences for the applicable Expansion Space (such thirty-six (36) or
other applicable month extension to occur only one time in connection with each
applicable Expansion Option). Notwithstanding the above, Tenant may elect to
lease up to 1,500 rentable square feet or less of unleased space in the Building
for which Landlord has not otherwise entered into a letter of intent at any time
on the same terms as set forth in the Third and Fourth Expansion Rights provided
there is no Tenant Improvement Allowance and any remaining adjacent unleased
space must be of a size and configuration that are leasable in Landlord's
reasonable discretion.

          (v)   Base Rent once determined for the applicable Expansion Space
continues to escalate at the same rate and at the same time as the Base Rent
for the remainder of the Premises.

     32.9  Right of First Refusal.  Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of
           ----------------------
first refusal (the "Right of First Refusal") to lease any space in the Premises
of the Building subject to and in accordance with the following provisions:

           (a)  Prior to Landlord executing any lease with a bona fide third
party for such contiguous space (the "Refusal Space"), Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant a written notice identifying a proposed lease or letter of intent which
Landlord is willing to accept, subject to this Right of First Refusal (the
"Offer Notice"). The Offer Notice shall set forth the date that such proposed
lease is to commence (the "Refusal Space Commencement Date"). Tenant agrees to
keep the information contained in the letter of intent confidential.

           (b)  The Tenant shall have five (5) business days from receipt of
the Offer Notice to either accept or reject the Refusal Space. If Tenant rejects
the Refusal Space or if Landlord has not received the written acceptance or
rejection of the Refusal Space from Tenant by 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th)
business day as set forth herein, time being of the essence, then Landlord shall
have no further obligation or liability to Tenant pertaining to the Refusal
Space and Landlord may enter into a lease with such tenant on such terms and
conditions as set forth in the Offer Notice, unless Landlord and such tenant, or
an affiliated entity of such tenant, fails to enter into a lease for the Refusal
Space for any reason in which event Tenant's Right of First Refusal shall be
deemed reinstated.

           (c)  If the Refusal Space is accepted by Tenant in accordance
herewith, this Lease shall be amended effective as of the Refusal Space
Commencement Date to include the Refusal Space on the same terms and conditions
as applicable to the Third and Fourth Expansion Spaces.

           (d)  This Right of Refusal shall not be applicable unless there are
at least thirty-six months remaining on the Lease.

           (e)  This Right of First Refusal is subject to any rights of tenants
under leases for which Tenant did not exercise this Right of First Refusal.

           (f)  This Right of First Refusal shall be deemed void and of no
further force and effect if there is an uncured event of default as set forth in
Article 24 or if Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets the Premises in violation
of the terms of this Lease.

                                      33
<PAGE>

     32.10  Option to Extend.  Tenant shall have an option to extend the Lease
            ----------------
for three (3) additional consecutive terms, each consisting of five (5) years.
In order to exercise such option, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at
least 120, but not more than 240, days prior to the expiration of the respective
lease term of its election to exercise the option, upon which time Landlord
shall submit in writing within 30 days thereafter a proposal for the then
current Market Base Rental Rate (per rentable square foot per annum) for the
extended term. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of said
notice to (i) accept the proposed Base Rental Rate in writing to Landlord (ii)
to reject the Base Rental Rate and elect the appraisal process set forth below
or (iii) elect not to extend. If Tenant elects not to extend or fails to timely
exercise its option, time being of the essence, the options shall automatically
terminate and be of no further force and effect and this Lease shall terminate
upon expiration of the then Lease term. Any such extension shall be upon all of
the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease except as to (i) the amount of
Base Rent, which shall be determined as set forth herein, (ii) other than as
remain applicable under this Lease, options to extend, expand or rights of
refusal, which shall not be applicable, and (iii) Tenant Allowances or other
economic concessions which shall not be applicable to the extension term. As
used herein, "Market Base Rental Rate" shall mean the then Base Rental Rate for
comparable first class multi-tenant office buildings of comparable size,
location and age, with comparable tenants leasing comparable amounts of space,
in the County of El Paso, Colorado, at such time, taking into account the
following factors (1) rent per rentable square foot; (2) operating expenses and
real estate tax payments; (3) current rental escalators; and (4) rental
concessions, including tenant improvement allowances, if any, as applicable to
market renewals of leases.

     If Tenant, by written notice delivered no later than thirty (30) days after
the date Landlord notifies Tenant of the Market Base Rental Rate, objects to the
Market Base Rental Rate determined by Landlord and elects to submit the rate
determination to appraisal, then, within seven (7) days of the date of Tenant's
objection, each party shall appoint a non-affiliated certified M.A.I. Appraiser
that has at least five (5) years' full-time commercial appraisal experience in
El Paso County to determine the Market Base Rental Rate, such process to be
completed within twenty (20) days after the date of the appointment of the last
appraiser.  If a party does not appoint a qualified appraiser within five (5)
days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser then
the single appraiser shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the Market Base
Rental Rate.  The appraisers appointed by the parties shall meet promptly and
attempt to set the Market Base Rental Rate.  If they are unable to agree on the
Market Base Rental Rate within twenty (20) days after the date the second
appraiser has been appointed, they shall elect a third appraiser meeting the
qualifications stated in this paragraph within seven (7) days after the last day
the two (2) appraisers are to set the Market Base Rental Rate.  If the
appraisers are unable to agree on the third appraiser within said time frame,
either of the parties to this Lease, after giving five (5) days' prior written
notice to the other party, may apply to the then president of the real estate
board of Denver, Colorado for the selection of a third appraiser who meets the
qualifications stated in this Section, which selection shall be made within
three (3) business days.  All determinations of Market Base Rental Rate shall be
subject to the limitations on Market Base Rental Rate set forth in the first
paragraph of this Section.  Each of the parties shall pay for the appraiser
appointed by it and shall bear one-half of the cost of appointing the third
appraiser and of paying the third appraiser's fee.  The third appraiser, however
selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for
either party.

     Within twenty (20) days after the selection of the third appraiser, the
third appraiser shall determine the Market Base Rental Rate and all three of the
appraiser's Market Base Rental Rates shall be averaged excluding any single
Market Base Rental Rate which is either ten percent (10%) higher or lower than
the middle appraisal of Market Base Rental Rate and the remaining appraisals
shall then be averaged.

     If the Market Base Rental Rate is not established for the extended term
prior to its commencement, Tenant shall continue to pay the applicable Base Rent
required for the last full month of the Lease term until the appraisers have
made their determination.  The Market Base Rental Rate in question, when finally
determined by the appraisers, shall be retroactive to the commencement of the
extension term, and the first Base Rent payment becoming due after the
determination of the applicable Market Base Rental Rate shall include the
retroactive amounts of monthly Base Rent installments accrued and unpaid.  In no
event may either Landlord or Tenant elect not to extend the Lease based upon the
Market Base Rental Rate established in accordance herewith.

                                      34
<PAGE>

     This option to extend may not be exercised and the Lease shall not be
extended if Tenant is in default which default is not cured within any
applicable cure periods or if this Lease has been sublet or assigned other than
to an Affiliated Entity as set forth in Section 7.4 hereof or to an entity for
which financials have been provided to and approved by Landlord as set forth in
Section 7.1 hereof. Furthermore, time is of the essence hereof, any failure of
Tenant to give any notice required hereunder within the required time period
shall render this option null and void.

     32.11  Vacation.  Tenant may, provided it complies with all other terms of
            --------
this Lease, including payment of Rent, vacate the Premises in whole or in part
provided Tenant gives Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of its
intent to vacate.

     32.12  Right to Test Equipment.  Provided Tenant is not in default under
            -----------------------
this Lease, Landlord shall install for Tenant's use during the Lease Term, a
testing area on the roof of the Building, as more particularly set forth on
Exhibit K attached hereto (the "Testing Area"), a walkway providing access to
---------
the Testing Area and one (1) 120 volt duplex outlet in the Testing Area. The
Testing Area shall be for purposes of testing Tenant's communications equipment
(the "Equipment"). Tenant in accessing the roof and testing its Equipment, shall
be permitted to enter only upon the walkway and the Testing Area, which Testing
Area may be relocated by Landlord in Landlord's reasonable discretion and at
Landlord's sole expense; provided, however, that in all such events the Testing
Area shall be in a location that allows Tenant to use the same as necessary for
Tenant's business, and Tenant shall not interfere with any base building systems
or other systems of the Building and shall not attach any fixture to the roof.
Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, agrees to keep, maintain, operate and
remove the Equipment in and from the Testing Area in accordance with all
applicable laws, rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances or other requirements
of any kind or nature of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or the
requirements of Landlord's insurance underwriters and in compliance with any
roofing warranties of which Tenant has knowledge. As of the date of this Lease,
Landlord's insurance underwriters have imposed no additional requirements or
insurance premiums in connection with the Testing Area and Tenant's use thereof
Subject to the waiver of subrogation as set forth in Section 10.3 of the Lease,
which is incorporated herein by reference, if the Building, Building Complex,
elevators, boilers, engines, pipes, electrical apparatus, or any other elements
of the Building or the Building roof or any portion thereof, become damaged or
destroyed through any act of Tenant, its servants, agents, employees,
contractors or anyone permitted by Tenant to be working in the Building or on
the Equipment or the Testing Area, whether or not such act was a result of the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any such party, then the
reasonable cost of any repairs, replacements, alterations and all damages
incurred by Landlord shall be borne by Tenant who shall, within thirty (30) days
of demand, pay the same to Landlord. If, during the term of the Lease, Tenant
desires to install any of its equipment on the roof of the Building, such
installation shall be performed in accordance with that certain Communications
License, attached hereto as Exhibit L, to be executed by and between the parties
                            ---------
prior to any such installation.

     32.13  Self Help Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
            ----------------
contained in this Lease, if (i) Landlord fails to perform any maintenance or
repair obligations of Landlord under this Lease (excluding any maintenance and
repair to the base building structure and/or base building systems of the

conduct its business in the Premises, and (iii) such failure is not cured within
ten (10) business days (or such longer period of time if such cure cannot be
accomplished within ten (10) business days, provided Landlord commences such
cure within such ten (10) day period and diligently pursues such cure to
completion) after receipt of written notice to Landlord (and any mortgagee of
which Tenant has been provided written notice) (the "Self-Help Notice"), then
Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to have performed such

workmen whose labor union affiliations are not incompatible with those of any
workmen then employed in the Building Complex by Landlord, its contractors and
subcontractors and such workmen shall carry insurance which complies with the
requirements set forth in Section 10.1(f) hereof. Subject to the waiver set

Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments,
penalties, costs, expenses, liabilities, or losses relating to any work
performed by Tenant's workmen with respect to this Section 32.13. Within thirty
(30) business days after receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant
evidencing all commercially reasonable amounts incurred by Tenant in connection
with the performance of any such maintenance or repair (the "Invoice Notice"),
Landlord shall pay to Tenant all such amounts, together with interest thereon at
the Default

                                  WORK LETTER


     This WORK LETTER ("Work Letter") is entered into as of the _____ day of
April, 1998, by and between ORIX PRIME WEST COLORADO SPRINGS VENTURE, a Colorado
general partnership ("Landlord"), and DECISION-SCIENCE APPLICATIONS, INC., a
Virginia corporation ("Tenant").

                               R E C I T A L S:
                               - - - - - - - -

A.  Concurrently with the execution of this Work Letter, Landlord and Tenant
have entered into a lease (the "Lease") covering certain premises (the
"Premises") more particularly described in Exhibit A attached to the Lease.  To
                                           ---------
the extent applicable, the provisions of the Lease are incorporated herein by
this reference.

B.  In order to induce Tenant to enter into the Lease and in consideration of
the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, Landlord and Tenant agree as
follows:

1.  TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.  As used in the Lease and this Work Letter, the term
    -------------------
"Tenant Improvements" or "Tenant Improvement Work" means those items of general
tenant improvement construction shown on the Final Plans (described in Paragraph
4 below), more particularly described in Paragraph 5 below.  The selection of
the general contractor (the "Contractor") to perform such Tenant Improvement
Work, the Contractor's fee for overhead and profit and the Contractor's budget
for general conditions shall all be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and
Tenant, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by either
party.  Landlord shall contract with such mutually agreed upon Contractor and
with the architect and all mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers to be
hired to perform the design of the Premises.

2.  WORK SCHEDULE.  Attached to this Exhibit C is a schedule ("Work Schedule")
    -------------                    ---------
which sets forth a timetable of critical dates for the planning and completion
of the installation of the Tenant Improvements and the Commencement Date of the
Lease.  The Work Schedule describes certain of the critical items of work to be
done or approval to be given by Landlord and Tenant in connection with the
completion of the Tenant Improvements.  All plans and drawings required by this
Work Letter and all work performed pursuant thereto are to be prepared and
performed in accordance with the Work Schedule.  Based upon developments during
construction of the Tenant Improvements, the parties may modify the Work
Schedule as appropriate to reflect changes to the Work Schedule agreed to in
writing by both Landlord and Tenant and changes to the Work Schedule of which
Tenant is provided reasonable notice, resulting from Tenant Delays or Force
Majeure Delays and Landlord caused delays.

3.  TENANT CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTATIVES.  Landlord hereby appoints the following
    -----------------------------------
person(s) as Landlord's representative ("Landlord's Representative") to act for
Landlord in all matters covered by this Work Letter: James Crain, telephone
(303) 741-0700, facsimile (303) 741-6988.  Tenant is entitled to rely on
information and decisions of Landlord's Representative, and the signature of
Landlord's Representative on documents, change orders and other instruments
delivered in connection with this Work Letter, shall be conclusive evidence of
Landlord's approval.

Tenant hereby appoints the following person(s) as Tenant's representative
("Tenant's Representative") to act for Tenant in all matters covered by this
Work Letter: William Nevills, telephone (719) 593-5974, facsimile (719) 593-
5978.  Landlord is entitled to rely on information and decisions of Tenant's
Representative, and the signature of Tenant's Representative on documents,
change orders, Work Cost Estimate and other instruments delivered in connection
with this Work Letter, shall be conclusive evidence of Tenant's approval.

All communications with respect to the matters covered by this Work Letter are
to be made to Landlord's Representative or Tenant's Representative, as the case
may be, in writing in compliance

                                      C-1
<PAGE>

with the notice provisions of the Lease. Either party may change its
representative under this Work Letter at any time by written notice to the other
party in compliance with the notice provisions of the Lease.

4.  TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS.
    ------------------------

    (a)  Preparation of Space Plans. Tenant and Landlord have approved Gensler
         --------------------------
("Space Planner") to prepare the architectural drawings for the Premises. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord shall have no liability to assure that the design of
the Premises is satisfactory for Tenant and for Tenant's use. Tenant agrees to
cause the Space Planner to prepare the preliminary space plans for the layout of
Premises ("Space Plans") on or before the outside date for preparation of the
Space Plans set forth in the Work Schedule. The Space Plans are to be sufficient
to convey the architectural design of the Premises and layout of the Tenant
Improvements therein and are to be submitted to Landlord upon completion for
Landlord approval. If Landlord disapproves any aspect of the Space Plans,
Landlord will advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons
therefor in accordance with the Work Schedule. Tenant will have until the
outside date specified in the Work Schedule to cause the Space Planner to
redesign the Space Plans incorporating the revisions required by Landlord and to
obtain Landlord's final approval of the Space Plans.

    (b)  Preparation of Final Plans.  Based on the approved Space Plans, Tenant
         --------------------------
will cause its Space Planner to prepare complete architectural plans, drawings
and specifications and complete engineered mechanical, plumbing, structural (if
required) and electrical working drawings for all of the Tenant Improvements for
the Premises (collectively, the "Final Plans").  The Tenant shall also cause the
Space Planner to use building standard materials and details for building spaces
in accordance with the "Components of Standard Tenant Finish for General Office
Purposes" attached hereto as Exhibit G and shall also use at Tenant's cost
                             ---------
Landlord's engineers and consultants for preparation of such working drawing,
provided such costs are commercially reasonable.  The Final Plans are to be
completed on or before the outside date for completion of the Final Plans set
forth in the Work Schedule.  The Final Plans will show: (a) the subdivision
(including partitions and walls), layout, lighting, finish and decoration work
(including carpeting and other floor coverings) for the Premises, (b) all
internal and external communications and utility facilities which will require
conduiting or other improvements from the base Building shell work and/or within
common areas; and (c) all other specifications for the Tenant Improvements.  The
Final Plans will be submitted to Landlord for signature to confirm that they are
consistent with the Space Plans.  If Landlord reasonably disapproves any aspect
of the Final Plans based on any inconsistency with the Space Plans, Landlord
agrees to advise Tenant in writing of such disapproval and the reasons therefor
within the time frame set forth in the Work Schedule.  In addition, if Tenant
requests, Landlord will identify any Tenant Improvements which Landlord will
require removed upon termination of the Lease.  Tenant will have until the
outside date specified in the Work Schedule to cause the Space Planner to
redesign the Final Plans incorporating the revisions reasonably requested by
Landlord or to adjust the Plans based upon requested removal items as to make
the Final Plans consistent with the Space Plans and to obtain Landlord's final
approval of the Space Plans.

    (c)  Requirements of Tenant's Final Plans.  Tenant's Final Plans will
         ------------------------------------
include locations and complete dimensions, and the Tenant Improvements, as shown
on the Final Plans, will: (i) be compatible with the Building shell and with the
design, construction and equipment of the Building; (ii) comply with all
applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of all governmental
authorities having jurisdiction, and will comply with all applicable insurance
regulations of which Tenant has knowledge; (iii) not require Building service
beyond the level normally provided to other tenants in the Building and will not
overload the Building floors; and (iv) be of a nature and quality consistent
with the overall objectives of Landlord for the Building, as determined by
Landlord in its reasonable but subjective discretion.

    (d)  Submittal of Final Plans.  Once approved by Landlord and Tenant, as
         ------------------------
provided in the Work  Schedule, Tenant will cause the Space Planner to
coordinate for submittal of the Final Plans to  the appropriate governmental
agencies for plan checking and the issuance of a building permit in cooperation
with the Contractor; however, ultimate responsibility to obtain the permit shall
be the Space Planner's.  Landlord will have the right to review Space Planner's
submittal package prior to delivery to such governmental agencies.  Space
Planner, with the approval of Landlord and Tenant, will make any changes to the
Final Plans which are requested by the applicable governmental authorities to
obtain the building permit.  After approval of the Final Plans no further

                                      C-2
<PAGE>

changes may be made without the prior written approval of both Landlord and
Tenant, and then only after agreement by Tenant to pay any excess costs
resulting from the design and/or construction of such changes, if any.  Tenant
hereby acknowledges that any such changes will be subject to the terms of
Paragraph 8 below.  Landlord shall have no obligation to approve any further
changes to the Final Plans or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, but
shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of appropriate change orders
necessary for obtaining the permit.

    (e)  Work Cost Estimate and Statement. Prior to the commencement of
         --------------------------------
construction of any of the Tenant Improvements shown on the Final Plan, as
provided in the Work Schedule, Landlord will cause the Contractor to submit to
Landlord and Tenant a written estimate of the cost to complete the Tenant
Improvement Work, which written estimate will be based on the Final Plans which
shall not take into account any modifications which may be required to reflect
changes in the Final Plans required by the City, County, Fire Department,
Architectural Control Committee, and other governmental approvals in which the
Premises are located together with all space planning, architectural
engineering, supervision and other costs incurred in connection therewith (the
"Work Cost Estimate"). Tenant will either approve the Work Cost Estimate or
disapprove specific items and submit to Landlord revisions to the Final Plans to
reflect deletions of and/or substitutions for such disapproved items, and delays
attributable to such changes shall be Tenant Delays, if and to the extent
provided pursuant to Paragraph 8 below. Submission and approval of the Work Cost
Estimate will proceed in accordance with the Work Schedule. Upon Tenant's
written approval of the Work Cost Estimate (such approved Work Cost Estimate to
be hereinafter known as the "Work Cost Statement"), Landlord will cause the
Contractor to purchase materials and to commence the construction of the items
included in the Work Cost Statement pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof. The Work
Cost Statement will include a guaranteed maximum price contract with the
Contractor, subject to allowances where the scope of the work is not
specifically defined, and such Work Cost Statement will not materially change
without the prior consent of Tenant, unless such change is caused by a
governmental requirement or such other third party requirement (other than with
respect to the changes set forth in the guaranteed maximum price contract)
beyond the control of Landlord, and in such event, Landlord will promptly notify
Tenant of such requirement and corresponding change to the Work Cost Statement.
In connection with the work set forth in the Work Cost Statement, the Contractor
shall cap its fee for overhead and profit and its budget for general conditions
at an amount not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the guaranteed maximum price
contract. If the total costs reflected in the Work Cost Statement exceed the
Allowance as more specifically described in Paragraph 5 below, Tenant agrees to
pay such excess within twenty (20) days after billing therefor by Landlord
without further notice (provided that such billed amount reflects work
performed), and Landlord's billing will be within thirty (30) days of the date
that said funds are due by Landlord to its contractor or subcontractor.
Throughout the course of construction, any differences between the estimated
Work Cost in the Work Cost Statement and the actual Work Cost will be determined
by Landlord and appropriate adjustments and payments by Landlord or Tenant, as
the case may be, will be made within twenty (20) days of billing, as set forth
above. Delays in completion of the Tenant Improvements shall be Tenant Delays,
if caused by matters set forth in Paragraph 8 below.

5.  PAYMENT FOR THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.
    -----------------------------------

    (a)  Allowance.  Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a tenant improvement
         ---------

allowance, an additional $5.00 per rentable square foot, which amount if used by
Tenant shall be added to Base Rent and amortized over the initial Lease term at
the rate of ten percent per annum (such $34.11 per rentable square foot

above.

     (c)  Excess Costs. The cost of each item referenced in Paragraph 5(a) above
          ------------

and will, if necessary, require the Work Cost Statement to be revised and agreed
upon between Landlord and Tenant in the manner set forth in Subparagraph 4(f)
above. Changes to the Final Plans which delay completion of the Tenant
Improvements will constitute "Tenant Delays" as provided in Paragraph 8 below.

     (e)  Government Cost Increases.  If increases in the cost of the Tenant
          -------------------------
Improvements as set forth in the Work Cost Statement are due to requirements of
any governmental agency, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the amount of such
increases within twenty (20) days of Landlord's written notice, subject to
subparagraph (c) above, and Landlord's billing will be within thirty (30) days
of the date that said funds are due by Landlord to its contractor or
subcontractor.

     (f)  Unused Amounts.  Any unused portion of either Allowance upon
          --------------
completion of the Tenant Improvements will not be refunded to Tenant and will
not be available to Tenant as a credit against any obligations of Tenant under
the Lease; provided, however, Tenant may apply such unused portion, if any,
toward cabling costs.

     (g)  Standard Improvements.  The base building improvements that Landlord
          ---------------------
will construct and not include within the costs for which Tenant will be
responsible hereunder are listed on Exhibit F, attached hereto and incorporated
                                    ---------
herein by this reference.

6.  CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.  Until Tenant approves the Final Plans
    -----------------------------------
and Work Cost Statement, Landlord will be under no obligation to cause the
Contractor to commence the construction of any of the Tenant Improvements.
Following Tenant's approval of the Work Cost Statement described in Subparagraph
4(f) above and upon Tenant's payment of the total amount by which such Work Cost
Statement exceeds the Allowance, if any, subject to subparagraph (c) above,
Landlord will cause the Contractor to commence and diligently proceed with the
construction of the Tenant Improvements, subject to Tenant Delays (as described
in Paragraph 8 below) and Force Majeure Delays (as described in Paragraph 9
below).

7.  COMMENCEMENT DATE AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.
    --------------------------------------------

    (a)  Commencement Date.  No Tenant Delay of any kind shall cause an
         -----------------
extension of the Commencement Date as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Lease.

    (b)  Substantial Completion; Punch-List.  The Tenant Improvements will be
         ----------------------------------
deemed to be substantially completed ("Substantial Completion") when: (a)
Landlord is able to provide Tenant with reasonable access to the Premises; (b)
when the Space Planner certifies to Tenant and Landlord that the Contractor has
substantially performed all of the Tenant Improvement Work required to be
performed by Landlord under this Work Letter substantially in accordance with
the Final Plans, other than minor "punch-list" type items and adjustments which
do not materially interfere with Tenant's access to or use of the Premises (the
"Punch List"); (c) Contractor has obtained a temporary certificate of occupancy
or other required equivalent approval from the local governmental authority
permitting occupancy of the Premises; (d) the construction of the base building
structure and the installation of the base building systems have been performed
substantially in accordance with the Outline Specifications and such systems are
operational, subject to any Punch List items; provided, however, that while the
elevators may not be Substantially Complete, they will be operational and at
least one of the elevators will be Substantially Complete no more than two (2)
weeks following the Commencement Date, with the second elevator to be completed
no more than thirty (30) days following the date of issuance of the certificate
of occupancy for the Building; and (e) the parking lot and site improvements
will be Substantially Complete, except for landscaping. Within five (5) business
days after the date of Substantial Completion, Tenant will conduct a walkthrough
inspection of the Premises with Landlord, Tenant's Representative and the
Contractor, and the parties will jointly prepare a written Punch List specifying
those Punch List items which require completion, which items Landlord will cause
the Contractor to thereafter diligently complete, subject to Force Majeure.
Landlord will use reasonable efforts to substantially complete such Punchlist
items within thirty (30) days following finalization of the Punch List, subject
to Force Majeure or other delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
Except as permitted by Paragraph 13 hereof, Tenant may not take occupancy prior
to preparation of the Punch List. If Tenant takes occupancy prior to completion
of the Punch List, it shall take possession subject to all terms and conditions
of this Lease and in no event may Tenant interfere with or delay the completion
of the Punch List.

8.  TENANT DELAYS.  For purposes of this Work Letter, "Tenant Delays" means any
    -------------
delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements resulting from any or all of
the following: (a) Tenant's failure to timely perform any of its obligations
pursuant to this Work Letter, including any failure to complete, on or before
the due date therefor, any action item which is Tenant's responsibility pursuant
to the Work Schedule delivered by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Work
Letter provided Landlord notifies Tenant in writing within a reasonable time
that Tenant's failure to act will delay the completion of the Tenant
Improvements and provided that such delay is due to reasons other than a
Landlord delay; (b) Tenant's changes to Space Plans or Final Plans after
Landlord's approval thereof; (c) in the delivery, installation or completion of
Tenant's requested materials, finishes, or installations, provided, however,
Landlord will request in the bid instructions that the Contractor notify
Landlord of any long lead items and if Landlord is made aware of any such items,
Landlord will notify Tenant of same and in such event, Tenant shall have five
(5) business days to request another material, finish or installation to the
extent such new request will reduce the delay (it being agreed that any such
substitution made within such five (5) business day period shall not constitute
a Tenant Delay if the substituted item does not cause a delay and Landlord will
reasonably inform the Tenant of the applicable delivery times for any such
substituted item in order for Tenant to have the option of substituting such
items that may cause a delay); (d) any delay of Tenant in making payment to
Landlord for Tenant's share of the Work Cost; or (e) any other act, delay or
failure to act caused directly or indirectly by Tenant, Tenant's employees,
agents, architects, contractors, independent contractors, consultants and/or any
other person performing or required to perform services on behalf of Tenant,
including without limitation, delay, action or inaction by Space Planner, it
being acknowledged by Tenant that Tenant has selected such party to provide
services pursuant to this Work Letter.  These items will only amount to Tenant
Delays if such events actually delay the Commencement Date of this Lease.
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of Tenant Delays.

9.  FORCE MAJEURE DELAYS.  For purposes of the Lease and this Work Letter,
    --------------------
"Force Majeure Delays" means any actual delay in the construction of the Tenant
Improvements resulting from events beyond the reasonable control of either
party, including but not limited to, delays caused or contributed to by
governmental or quasi-governmental entities, lenders, and acts of God.

10. TENANT APPROVALS.  Anything submitted to Landlord by Tenant's
    ----------------
Representative shall be deemed to have the prior approval of Tenant.
Furthermore, anything submitted to Tenant's Representative for approval which is
not disapproved within five (5) business days of receipt of the submission shall
be deemed approved in all respects.  The five (5) business day response period
does not extend the dates set forth in the Work Schedule for such approvals.
All notices given in connection with this Work Letter shall be in accordance
with Section 26.1 of the Lease.

11. UPDATES.  Upon request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with updates as to
the status of the completion of the Tenant Improvements.

12. ADA.  Landlord, at its expense, agrees to cause the common areas of the
    ---
Building to be constructed in accordance with Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act as then in effect, including the restroom facilities on the
third floor.  After issuance of the building permit for the Building, all
capital improvements thereafter required for ADA compliance by any change in the
laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or otherwise which were not in effect on
the date Landlord obtained its building permit shall be amortized over the
useful life thereof at the rate of two percent (2%) above the Prime Rate and
included as an Operating Expense.  This does not include the subsequent costs of
compliance for any full floor tenant (including the restrooms on the third
floor), which costs shall be borne by such tenant.

13. EARLY ENTRY.  Landlord agrees that Tenant may have access to the Premises
    -----------
prior to the anticipated date of Substantial Completion, as specified in Section
2.1 of the Lease, provided that (i) there is no interference with the Tenant
Improvement Work (ii) all entry shall be at Tenant's sole risk and Tenant shall
indemnify Landlord against any claims in accordance with Article 14 of the Lease
and (iii) any delay in Substantial Completion arising from or related to such
entry, directly or indirectly, shall be deemed Tenant Delay.

14. WARRANTY.  Except as set forth in Paragraph 8 above and subject to Force
    --------
Majeure, Landlord agrees to cause Contractor to construct the Building Complex
and the Premises in substantial compliance with the outline plans and
specifications previously delivered to Tenant and

                                      C-6
<PAGE>

substantially in accordance with the approved site plan, in a good and
workmanlike manner and to obtain a one-year standard construction warranty from
the Contractor, to the extent the Contractor performs such work in the Premises.
Tenant shall provide Landlord with specific written notice of any warranty work
to be performed by Contractor which must be received not less than thirty (30)
days prior to expiration of the one-year warranty. Landlord will cause the
Contractor to perform the warranty work subject to the terms of the warranty and
Tenant agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord and Contractor regarding the
enforcement of such warranty and performance of the warranty work.

15. BIDS.  Tenant may elect to have Landlord bid the Tenant Improvement Work to
    ----
up to three additional contractors if (i) there have been no delays to date in
the preparation of the Final Plans by the Space Planner, (ii) the preliminary
Work Cost Estimate from the Contractor is reasonably considered to be too high
and (iii) the bid process will not cause any delays in the Schedule.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Landlord and Tenant have caused this
Work Letter to be duly executed by their duly authorized representatives as of
the date of the Lease.

any object to be brought or kept in the Building which shall increase the rate

to continue such use after notice of the additional charge that will be required
in connection therewith, pay to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, an
amount equal to the increase in the rate.

     7.  Tenant shall not occupy the Building or permit any portion of the

narcotics, or tobacco in any form, or as a medical office, barber shop, manicure

freight, supplies, furniture, fixtures, and other similar personal property
into, within and out of the Building only through such entrances as may be

     13.  Tenant shall use the Common Area only as a means of ingress and egress
and other designed  purposes, and Tenant shall permit no loitering by any of
Tenant's employees or their invitees upon Common Areas or elsewhere within the
Building Complex. The Common Areas and roof of the Building are not for the use
of the general public, and Landlord shall in all cases retain the right to
control or prevent access thereto by all persons whose presence in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord, shall be prejudicial to the safety, character,
reputation or interests of the Building Complex and its tenants. Except as
permitted pursuant to Section 32.12 of the Lease and the Communications License

the Building Complex, and appurtenances thereto, for any other purpose than the
purposes for which they were constructed, and Tenant shall not deposit any
sweepings, rubbish, rags or other improper substances therein. Tenant shall not
waste water by interfering or tampering with the faucets. If Tenant or Tenant's
servants, employees, contractors, jobbers, agents, licensees, invitees, guests
or visitors, cause any damage to such washrooms, restrooms, plumbing fixtures or
appurtenances, subject to the waiver of subrogation set forth in Section 10.3 of
the Lease, such damage shall be repaired at Tenant's reasonable expense within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notification from Landlord during which
period Tenant may repair same, and Landlord shall not be responsible therefor.

into, cut, string wires within, or in any way deface any part of the Building
Complex, without the express prior written consent of Landlord. Upon removal of
any wall decorations or installations or floor coverings by Tenant, any damage
to the walls or floors shall be repaired by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and
expense. Other than (i) alterations of a cosmetic nature, including painting,

approval before performance of any such service. This Paragraph 18 shall apply
to all work performed in the Building, including without limitation installation

installations of any nature affecting floors, walls, woodwork, trim, windows,
ceilings, equipment or any other portion of the Building Complex. Subject to the
terms of the Lease, plans and specifications for such work, prepared at Tenant's
sole expense, shall be submitted to Landlord and shall be subject to Landlord's
express prior written approval in each instance before the commencement of work.
All installations, alterations and additions shall be constructed by Tenant in a
good and workmanlike manner and only good grades of material shall be used in
connection therewith. The means by which telephone, telegraph and similar wires
are to be introduced to the Premises and the location of telephones, call boxes
and other office equipment affixed to the Premises shall be subject to the
express prior written approval of Landlord. Tenant shall not lay linoleum or
similar floor coverings so that the same shall come into direct contact with the
floor of the Premises and, if linoleum or other similar floor covering is to be

similar adhesive materials is expressly prohibited.

Landlord. In the event of the violation of any of the foregoing by Tenant,
Landlord may within fifteen (15) days of written notice to Tenant during which
period Tenant may repair same, remove the articles constituting the violation
without any liability unless a loss other then said removal, arises from
Landlord's willful or negligent acts or omissions, and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the reasonable expenses incurred in such removal upon demand and
upon submission of applicable bills as additional rent under the Lease. Interior
signs on doors and upon the Building directory shall be subject to the express
prior written approval of Landlord and shall be inscribed, painted, or affixed
by Landlord at the reasonable expense of Tenant upon submission of applicable
bills to Tenant.

     19.  Tenant shall not use the name of the Building or the name of the

express prior written consent.

     20.  The sashes, sash doors, skylights, windows, and doors that reflect or
admit light or air into the Common Areas shall not be covered or obstructed by
Tenant, through placement of objects upon windowsills or otherwise. Tenant shall

way impair the efficient operation of Landlord's heating, ventilating, air
conditioning, electrical, fire, safety, or lighting systems.

     21.  Subject to applicable fire or other safety regulations, all doors
opening onto Common Areas and all doors upon the perimeter of the Premises shall
be kept closed and, during non-business hours, locked, except when in use for

                                      E-3
<PAGE>

termination of its tenancy, provide Landlord with the combinations to all
combination locks on safes, safe cabinets and vaults and deliver to Landlord all
keys to the Building, the Premises and all interior doors, cabinets, and other
key-controlled mechanisms therein, whether or not such keys were furnished to
Tenant by Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost to Landlord of
replacing the same or of changing the lock or locks opened by such lost key if

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, Sublessor and

_____________________, the present tenant thereof, whichever first occurs, (the
"Occupancy Date"), and terminating on _______________. If Sublessor is unable to
deliver possession of the Sublet Premises to Sublessee in accordance with the
foregoing provisions as a result of _______________'s failure to timely vacate

obligation to pay rental for the Sublet Premises shall be delayed until
Sublessor is able to obtain possession of the Sublet Premises and the deferral
of Sublessee's obligation to pay such rental shall be in full satisfaction of
any and all claims which Sublessee might otherwise have as a result of such
delayed delivery of possession. Such subleasing shall be on the following terms
and conditions:

         A. The base rental to be paid by Sublessee shall be ___________________
Dollars ($_______ ) per month, payable to Sublessor at _____________,

<PAGE>

         C. Sublessee agrees to deposit with Sublessor the sum of
______________________ Dollars ($________ ) (the "Security Deposit"), which
amount Sublessor agrees to hold in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph
__ of the Lease. With respect to the terms and provisions pertaining to said
Security Deposit, Sublessor shall be deemed to be the landlord and Sublessee
shall be deemed to be the tenant.

         D. During the term of this Sublease, Sublessor agrees to pay to
Landlord 50% any increase in Sublessee's base rent set forth herein over the
Base Rent set forth in the Lease attributable to the Sublet Premises, after
subtracting therefrom all actual costs incurred by Sublessor in connection with
the Sublease.

     2.  Sublessee shall not assign this Sublease Agreement or further sublet
the Sublet Premises, in whole or in part. Any assignment or sublease in
violation of this provision shall be null and void.

     3.  Sublessee hereby acknowledges receipt of copies of the lease documents
described in Recitals A and B above, and in consideration of the Sublease
Agreement, Sublessee hereby assumes and agrees to make all payments with respect
to the Sublet Premises and to perform and be bound by all Sublessor's covenants
contained in the Lease as if Sublessee were the tenant thereunder with respect
to the Sublet Premises, except to the extent they do not relate to the Sublet
Premises or are modified or eliminated by the terms of this Sublease.

     4.  This Sublease Agreement is further conditioned upon execution and
delivery hereof to Landlord on or before 5:00 p.m., _________________ (which
condition Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation to waive) and
subject to the consent of Landlord attached hereto within fifteen (15) days
after delivery to Landlord, it being understood and agreed that Landlord's
failure to provide notice of consent (or withholding thereof) within the
referenced time period shall be deemed a rejection of such sublease.

     5.  In the event of any default under the terms and provisions of the Lease
that remains uncured following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure
periods, Landlord shall have the right to collect the rental attributable to the
Sublet Premises directly from Sublessee without waiving any of Landlord's rights
against Sublessor as a result of such default and Sublessee shall attorn to
Landlord. The termination or mutual cancellation of the Lease shall not work a
merger, and such termination or mutual cancellation shall, at the option of the
Landlord, exercised within fifteen (15) days following such termination, either
terminate this Sublease or operate as an assignment to Landlord of the Sublease.

     6.  The Sublease constitutes the entire agreement between Sublessor and
Sublessee, and there are no other oral or written agreements between the two
parties with respect to the Sublet Premises. There shall be no modification or

                             COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE

     THIS COMMUNICATIONS LICENSE is made and entered into this __ day of April,
1998, by and between ORIX PRIME WEST COLORADO SPRINGS VENTURE., a Colorado
general partnership ("Prime West") and DECISION-SCIENCE APPLICATIONS, INC., a
Virginia corporation ("DSA").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Prime West and DSA have entered into a Lease dated April ___, 1998
(the "Lease") for premises located in that certain building known as 2060
Briargate Parkway located in Colorado Springs, State of Colorado (the
"Building"); and

     WHEREAS, DSA is desirous of installing communications equipment on the roof
of the Building; and

     WHEREAS, Prime West is willing to permit same only upon the following terms
and conditions.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and
valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.  Grant of License. Provided DSA provides Prime West with detailed
         ----------------
information regarding the extent and type of communications equipment (the
"Equipment"), Prime West grants to DSA a non-exclusive license for the term of
the Lease, said term being more specifically described in Section 3 below, for
the purpose of installing on a portion of the roof located on the Building as
shown on Appendix __ attached hereto (the "Roof Space"). The actual location of
the Roof Space shall be in Prime West's reasonable discretion. The grant of this
license is for the sole benefit of and use by DSA and the rights granted
hereunder shall be personal to DSA and may not be assigned, sublet or
transferred in whole or in part except pursuant to an assignment or sublease
according to the Lease to be used solely by such sublessee or assignee for its
own purposes. No third party may use the Roof Space nor may DSA receive any fees
or other payment for the use of such Roof Space. Prime West makes no
representation or warranty as to the fitness for any purpose of the Roof Space
and shall have no liability of any kind or nature directly or indirectly arising
from or related to the Equipment or the Roof Space.

     2.  Installation of Equipment on Roof Space. Prior to commencing the
         ---------------------------------------
installation of the Equipment and any related equipment, conduits, cables and
materials located on the Roof Space or in other parts of the Building
(collectively, the "Related Equipment"), DSA shall submit plans and
specifications regarding installation of the Antenna(s) and any Related
Equipment to Prime West for review and reasonable approval. DSA shall have a
reasonable right of access to the chases telephone and electrical closets
located in the Building for purposes of installing, repairing and maintaining
the Related Equipment, provided, however, such access shall be subject to the
reasonable approval of Prime West. The Related Equipment to be installed in the
telephone and electrical closets shall consist of ____________________ and shall
not occupy more than _______ cubic inches. The plans and specifications shall
include load factors, electrical platforms leading to the Roof Space and any
other specifications as Prime West may require. DSA agrees that Prime West may
require certain aesthetic specifications concerning the appearance of the
Testing Area and any Equipment, which specifications shall be in the
commercially reasonable discretion of Prime West.

     3.  Term. DSA's right to use the Roof Space shall commence on the date on
         ----
which DSA commences installation of the Antenna or any of the Equipment, but in
no event later than _____________, 19__ nor earlier than __________ , 19__, and
shall terminate upon the termination of the Lease (the "Term") as such Lease may
be extended. Upon the termination hereof, the Equipment (including any Related
Equipment), shall be removed by DSA at DSA's expense, and DSA shall repair any
damage to the building and roof caused by the removal and restore the roof.

                                      L-1
<PAGE>

     4.  Reroofing and Repair. DSA acknowledges that Prime West may be repairing
         --------------------
or installing a new roof on the Building during the term of this License. Prime
West, the roofing contractor or consultant and DSA shall coordinate the repair
and/or reroofing of the Roof and DSA shall pay in advance on demand all
increases in costs of repair or reroofing arising from or related solely to the
Equipment. Furthermore, to the extent that the Equipment needs to be dismantled,
relocated, repaired or replaced in conjunction with such reroofing or repair,
all reasonable costs and expenses shall be borne by DSA, and Prime West shall
have no liability in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any
interruption in service.

     5.  Permits. Prior to commencing the installation of the Equipment, DSA
         -------
shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain each and every permit including
building permits and approvals of any applicable architectural control committee
for same and deliver same to Prime West. Prime West makes no representations or
warranties with respect to zoning or any other approvals. If DSA cannot obtain
such necessary permits or such permits affect the Building or the Roof Space in
any way by means of additional requirements (unless Tenant agrees to comply with
such additional requirements at its sole cost and expense), then this License
shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect, unless Prime
West in writing waives the conditions set forth herein.

     6.  Repair and Maintenance of Antenna and Related Equipment. DSA agrees
         -------------------------------------------------------
that it shall keep and maintain the Equipment, and the Roof Space in good
condition and repair, at DSA's sole cost and expense, in such a manner so as not
to conflict or interfere with the use of other facilities installed in the
Building and consistent with first-class office buildings in Colorado Springs,
Colorado. Furthermore, DSA agrees that it shall not damage nor shall it permit
any damage to the roof or the Roof Space or the Building in conjunction with
this License. DSA agrees that the Equipment shall be of such types and
frequencies that will not cause interference with other antennas or dishes in
the Building Complex in operation at the time of DSA's installation. In the
event the Equipment causes such interference, DSA shall immediately take all
reasonable steps necessary to correct and eliminate the interference. If DSA
cannot eliminate the interference within a reasonable time of notification
thereof, it shall remove the Equipment causing the interference. DSA shall use
its best efforts to notify any telephone and/or electrical service persons of
the location of the Equipment in the Building in order to minimize any
interference with such equipment.

     7.  Repair and Maintenance of the Roof. DSA hereby acknowledges and agrees
         ----------------------------------
that Prime West, its agents, employees, contractors or anyone else permitted by
Prime West to be on the roof of the Building may from time to time inspect,
repair, replace or maintain the roof or any part or parts thereof, or install
additional improvements or fixtures on the said roof. DSA shall maintain the
Roof Space at it sole expense, except Prime West shall be liable for the cost of
repairs or maintenance to the Equipment, the Roof Space and the roof caused by
Prime West's misconduct or gross negligence, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement.

     8.  Compliance with Law and Warranties. DSA, at DSA's sole cost and
         ----------------------------------
expense, agrees to install, keep, maintain, operate and remove the Equipment, in
accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances or
other requirements of any kind or nature of any governmental or quasi-
governmental authority or the requirements of Prime West's insurance
underwriters and in compliance with any roofing warranties of which Tenant has
knowledge.

     9.  Alterations and Mechanic's Liens. DSA shall not without the prior
         --------------------------------
written consent of Prime West, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
make any alterations, improvements or additions to the Equipment or the Test
Area. DSA agrees that it shall not alter, add to or move the Equipment, without
Prime West's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Prime
West. In the event that DSA desires to perform any alterations, improvements,
additions, repairs or other work on the Equipment, DSA shall first submit to
Prime West a written request therefor outlining the repairs, alterations, or
other matters which DSA is requesting Prime West's consent. The work necessary
to perform any of the repairs or alterations under this section shall be done by
employees or contractors approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld
conditioned or delayed) in advance by DSA subject to written contracts
containing all conditions Prime West may reasonably impose, including insurance
provisions. DSA agrees that it shall defend and hold Prime West harmless from
all costs, damages, liens, for labor, services or materials related to any work
done on the additions by DSA, pursuant to the terms of the indemnity set forth
in Section 14 of the Lease.

<PAGE>

     10.  Damage by DSA. Subject to the waiver of subrogation as set forth in
          -------------
Section 10.3 of the Lease, which is incorporated herein by reference, if the
Building, Building Complex, elevators, boilers, engines, pipes, electrical
apparatus, or any other elements of the Building or the Building roof or any
portion thereof, become damaged or destroyed through any act of DSA, its
servants, agents, employees, contractors or anyone permitted by DSA to be
working in the Building or on the Equipment, whether or not such act was a
result of the negligence or willful misconduct of DSA or any such party, then
the cost of any repairs, replacements, alterations and all damages incurred by
Prime West shall be born by DSA who shall, within thirty (30) days of demand,
pay the same to Prime West.

     11.  DSA's Insurance. DSA shall with respect solely to the Equipment and
          ---------------
the Roof Space, during the entire term of this License, at its sole cost and
expense, obtain, maintain, and keep in full force and effect insurance with
coverages, amounts, with companies and in form reasonably acceptable to Prime
West naming Prime West and any lenders (secured by the Building and of which DSA
has knowledge) as insureds thereunder. If the cost of Prime West's insurance
increases as a result directly or indirectly of this License, then DSA shall pay
the costs of such increases directly to Prime West upon demand. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, DSA shall have the opportunity, at its sole cost and expense, to
take reasonable steps to correct the situation giving rise to such increased
insurance costs, provided such corrective measure does not otherwise violate any
other provision hereof or the Lease.

     12.  Attorneys' Fees. In the event of any litigation or arbitration between
          ---------------
Prime West and DSA to enforce any provision of this License or any right of
either party hereto, the unsuccessful party to such litigation or arbitration
shall pay to the successful party all reasonable costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred therein.

     13.  Indemnification; Release. From and after the Effective Date and
          ------------------------
subject to the waiver set forth in Section 10.3 of the Lease, DSA hereby agrees
to indemnify, defend, and save Prime West harmless from and against all claims,
demands, liability, loss, cost, damage, or expense, including attorneys' fees,
incurred by or asserted against Prime West as a result of or arising out of this
License including the installation, use or existence of the Equipment and the
Roof Space by DSA. This indemnity shall survive expiration or termination of
this License and/or the Lease. DSA hereby irrevocably releases Prime West, its
agents, employees, invitees or contractors, from any claims, damages, expenses
or costs of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown, arising from or
related to this License or any act or the negligence of Prime West, its
employees, agents, invitees or contractors, it being understood and agreed that
the Equipment and the Roof Space are at the sole risk, cost and expense of DSA.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification obligations set forth herein
shall not be applicable to the extent that the act from which the indemnity
arose was caused by the willful or grossly negligent acts of the Landlord.

     14.  Default by DSA. Each one of the following events is herein referred to
          --------------
as an "event of default":

             (1)  DSA shall fail to make due and punctual payment of any amounts
payable hereunder, and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after
receipt of written notice from Prime West;

             (2)  DSA shall default on any term or condition to be performed by
it under the Lease and such default is not cured within the applicable cure
period, if any;

             (3)  This License or the estate of DSA hereunder shall be
transferred to or shall pass to or devolve upon any other person or party except
in the manner set forth in Section 12;

             (4)  DSA shall fail to perform any of the other agreements, terms,
covenants or conditions hereof on DSA's part to be performed, and such
nonperformance shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice
thereof by Prime West to DSA, or if such performance cannot be reasonably had
within such ten (10) day period, DSA shall not in good faith have commenced such
performance within such ten (10) day period and shall not thereafter diligently
proceed to completion;

                                      L-3
<PAGE>

     15.  Remedies of Prime West. If any one or more events of default shall
          ----------------------
occur and remain uncured beyond any applicable cure period, if any, then Prime
West shall have the right, at Prime West's election, to terminate this License
by written notice to DSA, and to pursue any other remedy provided in law or in
equity for damages incurred by Prime West.

     16.  Notice. Any notice from Prime West to DSA or from DSA to Prime West
          ------
shall be in writing and shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of the
Lease.

     17.  Equipment. DSA hereby agrees that its Equipment may not interfere with
          ---------
any antenna or receiver now or hereafter placed upon the roof by Landlord or any
antenna or receiver now placed upon the roof by another tenant, nor may such
Equipment cause any interference with any tenant's use of their premises and
equipment therein nor may the Equipment cause or pose any possible health risk
of any kind or nature.

                                  WITNESSETH:
                                  -----------

     WHEREAS, Lender has made a loan (the "Loan") to Landlord;

     WHEREAS, the Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the "Note") made by
Landlord to order of Lender and is secured by, among other things, a deed of
trust, assignment of rents and leases, security agreement and fixture filing
(the "Deed of Trust") filed with the Clerk and Recorder of the County of El Paso
on April 2, 1998, made by Landlord to Lender covering the land (the "Land")
described on Schedule A hereto and all improvements (the "Improvements") now or
hereafter located on the land (the Land and the Improvements hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Trust Property"); and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to a prospective Lease by and between Landlord and Tenant
(which Lease, as the same may have been amended and supplemented, is hereinafter
called the "Lease"), Landlord shall Lease to Tenant approximately 35,234 total
rentable square feet of space located in the Improvements (the "Premises"); and

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to make the Lease when fully executed
and delivered subject and subordinate to the Deed of Trust.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby agree as follows:

     1.  The Lease, as the same may hereafter be modified, amended or extended,
and all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the Premises and all
rights, remedies and options of Tenant under the Lease, are and shall be
unconditionally subject and subordinate to the Deed of Trust and the lien
thereof, to all the terms, conditions and provisions of the Deed of Trust, to
each and every advance made or hereafter made under the Deed of Trust, and to
all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions and
extensions of the Deed of Trust, so that at all times the Deed of Trust shall be
and remain a lien on the Trust Property prior and superior to the Lease for all
purposes; provided, however, and Lender agrees, that so long as (A) no event has
occurred and no condition exists beyond any applicable cure period, which would
entitle Landlord to terminate the Lease or would cause, without further action
of Landlord, the termination of the Lease or would entitle Landlord to
dispossess Tenant from the Premises, (B) the Lease shall be in full force and
effect and shall not have been otherwise modified or supplemented in any way
without Lender's prior written consent (if and to the extent Lender's
<PAGE>

consent is required for the same under the documents evidencing or securing the
Loan), (C) Tenant shall duly confirm its attornment to Lender or its successor
or assign by written instrument as set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof, and (D)
                                                -----------
NEITHER Lender, nor its successors or assigns shall be liable under any warranty
of construction contained in the Lease or any implied warranty of construction
unless Tenant attorns to Lender (or its successors or assigns) and recognizes
Lender as the landlord under the Lease, and (E) all representations and
warranties made herein by Tenant shall be true and correct as of the date of
such attornment; then, and in such event provided Tenant is not in monetary
default or material nor monetary default under the Lease (in either event
following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods), Tenant's
leasehold estate under the Lease shall not be terminated, Tenant's possession of
the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender, Lender shall not join Tenant in
any foreclosure proceedings except as necessary to effectuate a foreclosure,
Lender will accept the attornment of Tenant, and Lender, if it becomes the
successor landlord under the Lease, shall be bound to Tenant under the terms and
conditions of the Lease (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement).

     2.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant
hereby agrees that in the event of any act, omission or default by Landlord or
Landlord's agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees which would
give Tenant the right, either immediately or after the lapse of a period of
time, to terminate the Lease in accordance with the terms of the Lease, or to
claim a partial or total eviction, or to reduce the rent payable thereunder or
credit or offset any amounts against future rents payable thereunder, Tenant
will not exercise any such right (i) until it has given written notice of such
act, omission or default to Lender by delivering notice of such act, omission or
default, in accordance with Paragraph 8 hereof, and (ii) until a period of not
                            -----------
less than sixty (60) days for remedying such act, omission or default shall have
elapsed following the giving of such notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of any default of Landlord which cannot be cured within such sixty (60)
day period, if Lender shall within such period proceed promptly to cure the same
(including such time as may be necessary to acquire possession of the Premises
if possession is necessary to effect such cure) and thereafter shall prosecute
the curing of such default with diligence, then the time within which such
default may be cured by Lender shall be extended for such period as may be
necessary to complete the curing of the same with diligence.  Lender's cure of
Landlord's default shall not be considered an assumption by Lender of Landlord's
other obligations under the Lease.  Unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing or
as otherwise set forth herein, Landlord shall remain solely liable to perform
Landlord's obligations under the Lease (but only to the extent required by and
subject to the limitation included with the Lease), both before and after
Lender's exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement.  If Lender or any
successor or assign becomes obligated to perform as Landlord under the Lease,
such person or entity will be released from those obligations accruing after the
date on which such person or entity assigns, sells or otherwise transfers its
interest in the Premises or the Trust Property.

     3.  Without limitation of any of the provisions of the Lease, in the event
that Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any successor to Landlord,
then subject to the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation,
Paragraph 1 above, the Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and
-----------
effect and Tenant shall and does hereby agree to attorn to and accept Lender and
to recognize Lender as its Landlord under the Lease for the then remaining
balance

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

of the term thereof, and upon request of Lender, Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Lender an agreement of attornment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

     4.  If Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord or any successor to
Landlord, in no event shall Lender have any liability for any act or omission of
any prior landlord under the Lease which occurs prior to the date Lender
succeeds to the rights of Landlord under the Lease, nor any liability for
claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have had against Landlord, except
in either case, with respect to any and all obligations that are of a continuing
nature (but only to the extent of any liability arising solely from the
continuance of said obligations and that continue beyond the date of transfer
unless otherwise set forth herein). In no event shall Lender have any personal
liability as successor to Landlord and Tenant shall look only to the estate and
property of Lender in the Land and the Improvements for the satisfaction of
Tenant's remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process)
requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by Lender as Landlord
under the Lease, and no other property or assets of Lender shall be subject to
levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's
remedies under or with respect to the Lease.

     5.  Tenant agrees that no prepayment of rent or additional rent due under
the Lease of more than one month in advance, and no amendment, modification,
surrender or cancellation of the Lease, shall be binding upon or as against
Lender, as holder of the Deed of Trust, or as Landlord under the Lease if it
succeeds to that position, unless consented to in writing by Lender (if and to
the extent Lender's consent is required for the same under the documents
evidencing or securing the Loan). In addition, and notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Tenant agrees that Lender, so long as
it is only holder of the Deed of Trust, shall in no event have any liability for
the performance or completion of any initial work or installations or for any
loan or contribution or rent concession towards initial work, which are required
to be made by Landlord (A) under the Lease or under any related Lease documents
or (B) for any space which may hereafter become part of said Premises. Tenant
further agrees with Lender that Tenant will not voluntarily subordinate the
Lease to any lien or encumbrance without Lender's prior written consent.

     6.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute and
be construed as one and the same instrument.

     7.  All remedies which Lender may have against Landlord provided herein, if
any, are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and
remedies provided by law and by other agreements between Lender and Landlord or
others. If any party consists of multiple individuals or entities, each of same
shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of such party
hereunder.

     8.  All notices to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed delivered upon receipt by the addressee if served personally or,
if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the refusal of delivery as
shown on a return receipt, after deposit in the United States Postal Service
certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the address of Landlord, Tenant or
Lender appearing below, or, if sent by telegram, when delivered by or refused
upon attempted delivery by the telegraph office. Such addresses may be changed
by

                                      -3-

notice given in the same manner. If any party consists of multiple
individuals or entities, then notice to any one of same shall be deemed notice
to such party.

     9.   This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of Colorado.

     10.  This Agreement shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. As used herein
"Lender" shall include any subsequent holder of the Deed of Trust.

     11.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has assigned to Lender its right,
title and interest in the Lease and to the rents, issues and profits of the
Trust Property and the Property pursuant to the Deed of Trust, and that Landlord
has been granted the license to collect such rents provided no Event of Default
has occurred under, and as defined in, the Deed of Trust. Tenant agrees to pay
all rents and other amounts due under the Lease directly to Lender upon receipt
of written demand by Lender, and Landlord hereby consents thereto. Any amounts
paid by Tenant to Lender in accordance herewith shall be credited against any
sums due Landlord under the Lease. The assignment of the Lease to Lender, or the
collection of rents by Lender pursuant to such assignment, shall not obligate
Lender to perform Landlord's obligations under the Lease.

     12.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is
entered into with an affiliated lender and does not necessarily represent the
form of agreement that would be executed with an unaffiliated third party
lender.
