the term of this Lease. All such payments shall be made at least ten days prior
to the delinquency date of such payment. Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord
with satisfactory evidence that such taxes have been paid. If any such taxes
paid by Tenant shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration

the period of time within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall be
in effect, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant to the extent required. Upon

         5.2 REAL PROPERTY TAX. As used herein, the term "real property tax"
shall mean all taxes and special assessments of every kind and nature assessed
by any governmental authority on the Leased Premises or any part thereof, which
the Landlord shall become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the
ownership, leasing and operation of the Leased Premises, subject to the
following:

         (1) The amount of special taxes or special assessments to be included

<PAGE>   4

         (2) There shall be excluded from real property taxes all income taxes,
excess profits taxes, excise taxes, franchise taxes, estate, succession,
inheritance and transfer taxes; provided, however, that if at any time during
the term of this Lease the present system of ad valorem taxation of real
property shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of the ad
valorem tax on real property, there shall be assessed on Landlord a capital levy
or other tax on the gross rents received with respect to the Leased Premises, or
a federal, state, county, municipal or other local income, franchise, excise or
similar tax, assessment, levy or charge (distinct from any now in effect)
measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon any such gross rents, then any
and all of such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, to the extent so measured
or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term real property taxes.

         (3) Tenant shall not permit any lien or judgment for real property tax
to be enforced against the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees to indemnity and hold
landlord harmless from the payment of real property tax and any loss, cost,
expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) or liability incurred by Landlord
as a result of Tenant's failure to pay real property tax on the Leased Premises
or any portion thereof.

6. ALTERATIONS TO LEASED PREMISES

         6.1 LEASED PREMISES TAKEN "AS IS". Tenant agrees that it has made its
own personal inspection of the Leased Premises and the buildings, structures and
improvements thereon, agrees to take the Leased Premises in its present
condition, and is entering into this Lease based on its own findings and not on
any representation of Landlord or its agents or employees.

         6.2 CONSENT TO ALTERATION. Tenant shall not without Landlord's prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, make or allow
any structural or non-structural construction, alterations, additions,
improvements, or utility installation (all of which are hereinafter referred to
in this Lease as "alterations"), in, on or about the Leased Premises. As used in
this Lease the term "utility installation" shall mean bus ducting, power panels,
wiring, flourescent fixtures, space heaters, conduits, air conditioning
equipment and plumbing. Should Tenant make any alterations without the prior
approval of Landlord, Landlord may require that Tenant remove any or all of the
same.

         6.3 WORKING DRAWINGS AND PERMIT. Any alterations in or about the Leased
Premises that Tenant wishes to make shall be presented to Landlord in written
form, with proposed detailed working drawings and specifications along with the
name of the proposed contractor to be used by Tenant. After giving its consent,
no modification shall be made in the working drawings or specifications without
Landlord's consent to such modification. If Landlord shall give its consent to
the alterations, the consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Tenant acquiring a
permit to do the alterations from appropriate governmental agencies, the
furnishing of a copy thereto to Landlord prior to the commencement of the work,
the compliance by Tenant



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner and
completion of the alterations in accordance with the working drawings and
specifications as approved by Landlord and all applicable laws. The contractor
for such alterations shall be subject to Landlord's prior approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         6.4 PAYMENT OF CLAIMS FOR LABOR. Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims
for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for
Tenant at or for use in the Leased Premises, which claims are or may be secured
by any mechanics' or materialmen's lien against the Leased Premises or any
interest therein. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten days' notice
prior to the commencement of any work in the Leased Premises, and Landlord shall
have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Leased
Premises as provided by law. If Tenant shall, in good faith, contest the
validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Tenant shall, at its sole cost
and expense, defend itself and Landlord against the same and shall pay and
satisfy any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the
enforcement thereof against Landlord or the Leased Premises, upon the condition
that if Landlord shall require, Tenant shall furnish a surety bond satisfactory
to Landlord in an amount equal to one and a half times such contested lien,
claim or demand indemnifying Landlord against liability for the same and holding
the Leased Premises free from the effect of such lien or claim.

<PAGE>   7

Landlord, Tenant shall submit to Landlord basic data about the business and
operations of the proposed assignee or transferee, a current financial statement
of the proposed assignee or transferee, and the terms of the transaction as they
pertain to this Lease between Tenant and the proposed assignee or transferee,
and further, Tenant shall promptly supply such additional information about the
proposed assignee or transferee and the transaction as Landlord may reasonably
request. Landlord agrees to give its consent to a Transfer of this Lease to a
Controlled Corporation.

         (c) If Tenant or any of Tenant's shareholders shall Transfer, assign or
hypothecate any stock or interest in Tenant, or in a Controlled Corporation as

in a change in the control thereof by the person, persons or entities owning a
majority interest therein as of the date of this Lease, without the prior
consent of Landlord in each instance (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), then in such event Landlord may terminate this Lease upon
one hundred eighty (180) days' written notice to Tenant. This Subsection (c)
shall have no application to Tenant if Tenant's outstanding voting stock is
publicly traded. "Publicly Traded" means registered on a national securities

primarily liable for payment of Rent and performance of all its obligations
hereunder. If Tenant shall sublease the Leased Premises as permitted herein,
Tenant shall obtain and furnish to Landlord, not later than fifteen days prior
to the effective date of such sublease and in form satisfactory to Landlord, the
written agreement of such subtenant to the effect that the subtenant will attorn

right, title and interest in the Leased Premises, Landlord may Transfer and
assign to such purchaser or transferee all amounts of prepaid Rent which may be
held by Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Landlord thereupon and without further
act by either party hereto shall be released from all liability and obligations
derived from this Lease and arising out of any act, occurrence or omission
relating to the Premises or this Lease occurring after the consummation of such
sale or Transfer. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease, nor to
abate Rent, nor to deduct from, nor setoff or counterclaim against Rent, because
of any sale or Transfer by Landlord or its successors or assigns.

         (f) Tenant hereby agrees that any sale or other transfer not in
compliance with this Section 11.1 shall be null and void and shall constitute a
material breach of this Lease.

      11.2 SUBORDINATION.

<PAGE>   8

                  (a) Upon written request by Landlord, Tenant agrees to

of whether such mortgages now exist or may hereafter be created), and to any and
all advances to be made thereunder and all modifications, consolidations,
renewals, replacements and extensions thereof provided the mortgagee(s) shall
agree to recognize the Lease of Tenant (if Tenant is not then in default
hereunder) in the event of foreclosure under any such mortgage. Tenant also
agrees that any mortgagee may elect to have this Lease prior to any lien of its
mortgage and in the event of such election and upon notification by such
mortgagee to Tenant to that effect, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to
the said mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the
date of said mortgage.

                  (b) Tenant shall, in the event of the sale or transfer of
Landlord's interest in the Premises, or in the event of any proceedings brought
for the foreclosure of any mortgage covering the Premises, attorn and by the
execution of this Lease does so attorn to and recognize such purchaser or
assignee or mortgagee as Landlord under this Lease.

                  (c) Tenant agrees that, upon the request of Landlord or any
such assignee or mortgagee, Tenant shall execute and deliver whatever
instruments may be required to carry out the intent of this Section 11.2 and
Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as its
attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead so to do in the event Tenant fails
to comply with this Sub-section (c) within the ten (10) days after demand
therefor in writing.

set forth in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that Mortgagee shall have no
obligation or liability hereunder or under the Lease beyond Mortgagee's then
interest, if any, in the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall look exclusively to
such interest of Mortgagee, if any, in the Leased Premises for the payment and
discharge of any obligations imposed upon Mortgagee hereunder or under the Lease
and Mortgagee is hereby expressly released and relieved of any other liability
hereunder and under the Lease. If Tenant obtains any judgment against Mortgagee

Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use, under any statute or by
right of eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof by a public body
vested with the power of eminent domain, is to be taken, then Tenant, by written
notice delivered to Landlord on or before the date of surrendering possession to
the public authority, may terminate this Lease effective as of such surrender of
possession. As used herein, a Material Position shall mean a portion of the
Leased Premises, the taking of which would materially adversely affect the
suitability of the Leased Premises for the operation of Tenant's business. If
Tenant does not terminate this Lease as provided herein, this Lease shall remain
in effect as to the remainder of the Leased Premises not taken by such public
authority, and Landlord at its own cost and expense, shall make all repairs and
alterations to the Leased Premises required by such taking.

         12.2 AWARD. Landlord and Tenant may each appear in condemnation
proceedings or action, but Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire
award or payment. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's right, title
and interest in and to every such award or payment. Tenant shall not receive any
portion of the award of damages granted for any total or partial taking but
instead such award shall be paid in full to Landlord, except that Tenant shall
be entitled to the moving expense award, if any.

13. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

         13.1 TOTAL DESTRUCTION. If the Leased Premises is totally destroyed by
fire or other casualty, whether of accidental or negligent origin, or so much
thereof that Landlord shall desire to raze the Leased Premises, or if the Leased
Premises is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, whether of
accidental or negligent origin, so that it could not be repaired or
reconstructed with reasonable diligence being exercised and within ninety days
after the date of such fire or other casualty, then in those events Landlord or
Tenant shall have the option either (i) to terminate this Lease, as of the date
of such fire or other casualty, by written notice to the other party given
within thirty days after such fire or other casualty, or (ii) continue under
this Lease, in which latter event Tenant shall immediately reconstruct and
repair the Leased Premises.


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

         13.2 PARTIAL DESTRUCTION. If the Leased Premises is damaged or
partially destroyed by fire or other casualty, whether of accidental or
negligent origin, such that it could be reconstructed or repaired in the
exercise of reasonable diligence within ninety days after the date of said fire
or other casualty, then Tenant shall immediately reconstruct and repair the
Leased Premises.

         13.3 INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Insurance proceeds paid pursuant to Tenant's
fire and extended coverage insurance policies as a result of destruction or
damage to the Leased Premises shall be paid to Landlord, and Landlord shall hold
and disburse the same for reconstruction or repairs in accordance with the terms
of this Article 13. Any such drawings, work plans and specifications for such
reconstruction repairs along with the identity of the proposed contractor shall
be subject to Landlord's prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). If the cost to reconstruct or repair the Leased Premises
to a condition equal to or better than the condition prior to such fire or other
casualty is greater than the insurance proceeds received by Landlord, then
Tenant shall pay any and all additional amounts necessary to complete the
reconstruction or repairs unless Tenant has elected to terminate this Lease
pursuant to Section 13.1. If Landlord or Tenant terminates the Lease as provided
in this Section 13, then Landlord shall be entitled to retain all insurance
proceeds paid, or to be paid, pursuant to Tenant's fire and extended coverage
insurance policies.

14. RISK OF LOSS AND PROPERTY INSURANCE

         14.1 LEASED PREMISES. Tenant shall bear all risk of loss or damage to
the Leased Premises, and any buildings, structures, improvements, alterations or
fixtures located thereon, that is caused by fire or other casualty, or by any
other cause whatsoever, whether of accidental or negligent origin.

         14.2 TENANT'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. In order to properly insure against
the risks described in Section 14.1 during the term of this Lease, Tenant, at
its sole cost and expense, as Additional Rent hereunder, and for the benefit of
Landlord, shall carry fire and extended coverage insurance covering the Leased
Premises against loss or damage by fire or other casualty or by other risks now
or hereafter embraced by the uniform standard extended coverage endorsement in
use for similar structures (including vandalism and malicious mischief) in
amounts equal to the full replacement cost of the Leased Premises, less any
applicable deductible amount, which policy shall contain the "Full Replacement
Cost" endorsement, a "Debris Removal" endorsement, and a "Demolition Cost"
endorsement. All such policies will name Landlord and Mortgagee as an additional
insured and, where applicable, as loss payee under a lender loss payable
endorsement satisfactory to Landlord and Mortgagee, and shall provide for thirty
(30) days written notice to Landlord before such policy is altered or cancelled.
On the date hereof and on each anniversary date hereof, the Tenant shall provide
Landlord with a Certificate of Insurance memorializing Tenant's compliance with
the insurance requirements of this Lease.

         14.3 TENANT'S PROPERTY.



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

                  (1) All alterations or fixtures installed on the Leased
Premises by Tenant and all trade fixtures, inventory or other personal property
belonging to Tenant or to Tenant's agents, servants, employees, licensees,
invitees or guests that shall be located in or about the Leased Premises shall
be there at the sole risk of Tenant or such other person and Landlord shall not
be liable for any damage thereto or for the theft or misappropriation thereof.
Landlord shall have no duty or obligation to provide security protection for the
Leased Premises.

                  (2) Except for the gross negligence or intentional misconduct
of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees or representatives, neither
Landlord nor its agents, servants, employees or representatives shall be liable
for any injury or damage to the person of Tenant, Tenant's agents, servants,
employees, licensees, invitees or guests, or for any loss or damage to any
property of any of them, or for loss of or interruption to Tenant's business,
whether caused by theft or from any other cause of any kind or nature
whatsoever, including but not limited to injury, loss or damage caused in whole
or in part by the Leased Premises becoming out of repair, by water, snow, frost,
ice, steam, excessive heat or cold, sewage, gas odors, noise, bursting or
seepage, or by fire or other casualty of any origin, and Tenant hereby waives
all claims it may have against Landlord therefor. Neither Landlord nor its
agents, servants, employees or representatives shall be liable for any injury,
loss or damage to person or property caused by other persons in the Leased
Premises, or caused by operations in the construction of any private, public or
quasi-public work.

         14.4 TENANT'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. It shall be the sole obligation of
Tenant to insure, to the extent desired by Tenant and at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, any and all alterations or fixtures installed on the Leased Premises by
Tenant, or any of Tenant's trade fixtures, inventory or other personal property
of any nature whatsoever.

         14.5 INSURANCE MATTERS.

         (a) In addition to the insurance requirements elsewhere in this Lease
(including specifically Section 15.2) Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall
provide and keep in force at all times for the benefit of Landlord with respect
to the Leased Premises (with such deductibles as may be satisfactory to
Landlord, from time to time, in its reasonable discretion), (i) insurance
against loss of or damage to the Leased Premises by fire and other hazards
covered by so-called "extended coverage" insurance, with a replacement cost
endorsement, and such other casualties and hazards as Landlord shall reasonably
require from time to time; (ii) earthquake insurance (if obtainable at
commercially reasonable rates); (iii) business interruption insurance; (iv)
boiler and machinery insurance, (v) during the course of any construction or
repair of the Leased Premises, workers' compensation insurance for all employees
involved in such construction or repair, and builder's risk completed value
insurance against "all risks of physical loss," covering the total value of work
performed and equipment, supplies and materials furnished, and containing the
"permission to occupy upon completion of work or occupancy" endorsement; and
(vi) such other insurance on the Leased Premises (including, without limitation,
increases in amounts and modifications of forms of insurance existing on the
date hereof), as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time and that is
typical for similar buildings in the geographic area. The

                                       13

<PAGE>   14
policies of insurance required by this paragraph shall be in companies, forms
and amounts, and for such periods, as Landlord shall require from time to time,
and shall insure the respective interests of Tenant and Landlord. The insurance
proceeds from all such policies of insurance shall be payable to Landlord
pursuant to a noncontributing endorsement satisfactory in form and substance to
Landlord. Certificates of the original policies and renewals thereof covering
the risks provided by this Lease to be insured against, bearing satisfactory
evidence of payment of all premiums thereon, shall be delivered to and held by
Landlord on demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord all insurance policies and certificates that are
requested by Landlord. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of each
policy required to be provided by Tenant, Tenant shall deliver certificates of
renewal policies to Landlord with appropriate evidence of payment of premiums
therefor. All insurance policies required by this Lease shall (1) include
effective waivers by the insurer of all rights of subrogation against any named
insured and any other loss payee; and (2) provide that any losses shall be
payable to Landlord notwithstanding:

                  (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of
warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named
insured or other loss payee,

                  (ii) the occupation or use of the Leased Premises for purposes
more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof,

                  (iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by
Landlord or Mortgagee, or

                  (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the Leased
Premises;

         (3) provide that no cancellation, reduction in amount or material
change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days
after receipt by Landlord and Mortgagee of written notice thereof; and (4) be
satisfactory in all other respects to Landlord and Mortgagee. Tenant shall not
permit any activity to occur or condition to exist on or with respect to the
Leased Premises that would wholly or partially invalidate any of the insurance
thereon. Tenant shall give prompt written notice to Landlord of any damage to,
destruction of or other loss in respect of the Leased Premises, irrespective of
whether any such damage, destruction or loss gives rise to an insurance claim.
Tenant shall not carry additional insurance in respect of the Leased Premises
unless such insurance is endorsed in favor of Landlord and Mortgagee as loss
payee.

     14.6 MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant, up to the monetary
limits of their respective insurance policies, each waive any and all rights
that either party may have against the other, and release each other from all
liability or responsibility to the other or to anyone claiming through or under
Premises, any alterations or fixtures, or any trade fixtures, inventory or other
personal property of any kind or nature whatsoever, which loss or damage is
caused by or results from a risk insured against under any insurance policy, in
force at the time, carried by the party suffering the loss or damage,
notwithstanding that such loss or damage was caused by the

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

fault or negligence of such other party, its agents, servants, employees,
representatives, contractors, licensees, invitees, or guests. Both Landlord and
Tenant shall obtain a waiver of subrogation from their respective insurance
company. Any increased premium cost incurred by Landlord or Tenant by reason of
such waiver shall be paid by the party incurring such increased premium.
However, if either party is unable to obtain a waiver of subrogation from its
insurer, then this Section 14.5 shall be void.

15. LIABILITY AND PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

     15.1 TENANT'S INDEMNITY.

         (1) Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless
Landlord, its agents, servants, employees and representatives from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, loss, cost and
expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed upon, incurred by or
asserted against Landlord arising out of or connected with (i) the use,
alteration or occupancy of the Leased Premises by Tenant or by its agents,
servants, employees, representatives, contractors, licensees, invitees, or
guests, which use or occupancy results in any injury, sickness or death
whatsoever to any person or loss or damage to property; or (ii) any failure on
the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease, or
(iii) any act, omissions or negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Related Party (as
hereafter defined), etc. In the event that any such claim is alleged against
Landlord, its successors or assigns, by anyone arising out of the use or
occupancy of the Leased Premises by Tenant or by its agents, servants,
employees, representatives, contractors, licensees, invitees or guests, it is
expressly understood and agreed that Tenant shall take over the defense of each
and every claim promptly and pay all attorneys' fees, verdicts, judgments,
settlement payments and all other costs and expenses whatsoever incurred in
connection with the defense of all such claims, without exception, it being
expressly understood that Tenant shall be and remain fully responsible for all
such claims and will hold the aforementioned indemnitees completely harmless
from and against any cost or expense whatsoever in connection therewith.
Tenant's defense of such claim, action or proceeding shall be by counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

         (2) If Landlord, without fault on its part, should be made a party to
any litigation instituted by or against Tenant or by or against any person
holding by or through or under Tenant or using the Leased Premises by license of
Tenant, or for the foreclosure of any lien of any kind, or otherwise arising out
of or resulting from any act or transaction or omission of Tenant, or of any
such person, Tenant shall immediately pay, or shall immediately reimburse to
Landlord if Landlord has paid, the amount of any judgment rendered against
Landlord or the Leased Premises or any part thereof, and all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, paid or incurred by Landlord in or in
connection with such litigation.

     15.2 TENANT'S PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE. During the term of this Lease,
and any extension thereof, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain,
provide and keep in force by advance payment of premiums, general public
liability insurance coverage for the benefit and



                                       15
<PAGE>   16

protection of Tenant, Landlord and Mortgagee (who shall be listed thereon as an
additional insured), as their interest may appear, in an amount not less than
$2,000,000.00 combined single limit for personal injury, and property damage, or
in such greater amounts of insurance coverage as Landlord may from time to time
reasonably require, insuring against any liability of Tenant, its agents,
servants, employees and representatives arising out of or in connection with the
use or occupancy of the Leased Premises by Tenant, its agents, servants,
employees, representatives, contractors, licensees, invitees or guests. Such
insurance policy shall be written on the "caused by any occurrence" rather than
on the "caused by accident" basis for bodily injury and property damage
liability coverage. Such insurance policy shall be written with a blanket
contractual liability endorsement providing automatic coverage for bodily injury
or property damage assumed under any type of written contract, including this
Lease, in addition to the types of contracts defined in the policy form. Such
insurance policy shall be written using a "personal injury" endorsement
providing coverage for claims arising out of false arrest, false imprisonment,
defamation of character, libel and slander, wrongful eviction and invasion of
privacy, and such endorsement shall not contain an exclusion of coverage for
claims for "personal injury" brought by employees of an insured. Such insurance
policy shall be with a company or companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord
and authorized to do business in the State of Arkansas, and shall be maintained
by Tenant in full force and effect during the entire term of this Lease. Tenant
shall provide Landlord with a copy of the policy and with annual Evidence of
Insurance (ACORD27) indicating such policy is in full force and effect and
providing for thirty days written notice to Landlord prior to cancellation or
material change in the policy. Should Tenant fail to carry such insurance or to
provide Landlord with the required Evidence of Insurance (ACORD27) after
notification from Landlord to do so, Landlord, as Tenant's agent, shall have the
right to obtain such insurance or Evidence of Insurance (ACORD27) and Tenant
shall pay the cost thereof to Landlord upon demand. Landlord shall not be
limited in the proof of any damages that Landlord may claim against Tenant
arising out of or by reason of Tenant's failure to provide and keep in force
insurance policies as aforesaid, to the amount of the insurance premium or
premiums not paid or incurred by Tenant that would have been payable upon such
insurance, but shall also be entitled to recover as damages for such breach the
uninsured amount of any liability, loss, damages, expenses, costs of action,
suits, interest, fines, penalties, claims and judgments suffered or incurred by
Landlord by reason of injury, claim of injury, or occurrence as aforesaid.

16. SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES

         16.1 CONDITION OF LEASED PREMISES. At the expiration of the term of
this Lease, or at any earlier termination of this Lease pursuant to any
provisions hereof, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises broom clean, free
of all debris, and in as good condition as it was at the beginning of this Lease
or as improved during Tenant's occupancy, reasonable use, ordinary wear and tear
and the effects of time excepted, failing which Landlord may restore the Leased
Premises, equipment and fixtures to such condition and Tenant shall pay the cost
thereof upon demand.

         16.2 ABANDONMENT OF PROPERTY. All of Tenant's furniture, personal
property,



                                       16
<PAGE>   17

inventory and trade fixtures not removed from the Leased Premises on termination
of this Lease shall thereupon be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by
Tenant and forthwith become Landlord's property; provided, however, that
Landlord may require Tenant to remove such furniture, personal property,
inventory, trade fixtures or other movable property not attached to the Leased
Premises or, as Tenant's agent, may have such items removed at Tenant's expense.

17. HOLDING OVER

         17.1 HOLDING OVER. Tenant acknowledges that possession of the Leased
Premises must be surrendered to Landlord at the expiration or earlier
termination of the term of this Lease. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Leased Premises after the
expiration or termination of the term of this Lease. If Tenant holds over in
possession after the expiration or termination of the term of this Lease, such
holding over shall not operate, except by express mutual written agreement
between the parties, to extend or renew this Lease but, in the absence of such
agreement, the tenancy thereafter shall continue as a tenancy at will, upon the
terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the monthly installment of Base
Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to two times the monthly installment
due and payable in the month immediately preceding the expiration or termination
of the term of this Lease, and either party may thereafter terminate such
possession at any time by giving the other party written notice of termination.

18. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

         18.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following events shall constitute events of
default: (1) If any installment of Rent or any other sums required to be paid by
Tenant hereunder, or any part thereof, shall at any time be in arrears and
unpaid for 15 days after it is due; or (2) if there is any default on the part
of Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the other covenants,
agreements, or conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and
performed, and said default shall continue for a period of thirty days after
written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant (unless such default cannot
reasonably be cured within thirty days and Tenant shall have commenced to cure
said default within said thirty days and shall continue diligently to pursue the
curing of the same); or (3) if Tenant shall commence any voluntary proceeding
under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law nor or
hereafter in effect, any petition or answer seeking any reorganization,
arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar
relief for itself under any present or future federal, state or other statute,
law or regulation, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in an
involuntary case, or if any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all
or any substantial part of its properties or of the Leased Premises shall be
appointed in any action, suit or against Tenant and such proceeding or action
shall not have been dismissed within thirty days after such appointment, or in
the event of any like occurrence which, in the sole judgment of the Landlord,
evidences the serious financial insecurity of the Tenant; or (4) if the
leasehold estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process
of law, except eminent domain; or (5) if Tenant shall vacate, abandon or fail to
use the


                                       15
<PAGE>   18

Leased Premises for a period in excess of sixty days (except as caused by a
casualty) for the use for which it was leased as stated in Article 3.

         18.2 REMEDIES OF LANDLORD. Upon the occurrence or during the
continuation of an event of default, regardless of any waiver or consent to any
earlier event of default, Landlord, at its option, may exercise any and all
remedies available to Landlord under law or equity, all of such rights and
remedies to be cumulative and not exclusive, including without limitation the
following:

                  (1) Landlord may immediately terminate this Lease upon written
notice to Tenant and this Lease shall forthwith terminate, and Tenant shall quit
and surrender the Leased Premises on or before the date set forth in such
notice, which date shall be at least ten days after the effective date of such
notice, and Tenant shall remain liable as set forth below.

                  (2) Landlord may enter upon the Leased Premises immediately or
at any subsequent time without notice or demand (which notice or demand is
hereby expressly waived by Tenant) and thereby terminate the estate hereby
created and expel Tenant and those claiming under it and remove their effects
without being guilty of any manner of trespass and Tenant shall remain liable as
set forth below, and Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall cause Tenant's
goods or effects to be removed from the Leased Premises pursuant to the terms
hereof or of any court order, Landlord's act of so removing such goods or
effects shall be deemed to be the act of and for the account of Tenant.

                  (3) In the event of termination under Sections 18.2(a) or
18.2(b) above, Landlord, at its option, may (i) accelerate and declare the
entire remaining unpaid Rent and any and all other moneys payable under this
Lease for the balance of the term hereof to be immediately due and payable, or
(ii) Landlord shall be entitled, at its option, to obtain from Tenant, and
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as current liquidated damages (y) the Rent and
other amounts payable hereunder up to the time of termination and (z) thereafter
until the expiration of the then current term hereof, whether or not the Leased
Premises shall be relet and as and when due in accordance with the provisions
hereof, the Rent and other sums payable hereunder as if this Lease had remained
in effect less the net proceeds to Landlord of any reletting of the Leased
Premises, after deducting all expenses in connection with such reletting,
including without limitation, all costs, fees and expenses of repossession,
brokers, advertising, attorneys, courts, repairing, cleaning, repainting, and
remodeling the Leased Premises for reletting.

                  (4) Without waiving its rights to terminate at any time under
Sections 18.2(a) and 18.2(b) above, Landlord may enter upon the Leased Premises
immediately or at any subsequent time without notice or demand (which notice or
demand is expressly waived by Tenant) and expel Tenant and those claiming under
it and remove their effects without being guilty of any manner of trespass, and
Landlord may continue this Lease in effect for the remainder of the then current
term and Tenant shall remain liable and obligated under all of the covenants and
conditions of this Lease during said period and shall pay as and when due the
Rent and other amounts payable hereunder as if Tenant had not defaulted
hereunder. In such event

                                       18
<PAGE>   19

Landlord may relet the Leased Premises for the account of Tenant crediting the
rent received on such reletting to amounts owing by Tenant hereunder. Tenant
hereby constitutes Landlord its attorney-in-fact to take any and all actions
necessary or incidental to such reletting. Such continuance of this Lease shall
not constitute any waiver or consent by Landlord of or to said default or any
subsequent default.

         18.3 INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD. In addition to the foregoing remedies
and regardless of which remedies Landlord pursues, Tenant covenants that it will
indemnify Landlord from and against any loss and damage directly or indirectly
sustained by reason of any termination or entry upon the Leased Premises
resulting from any event of default as provided above or the enforcement or
declaration of any of the rights or remedies of Landlord or obligations of
Tenant, whether arising under this Lease or granted, permitted or imposed by law
or otherwise. Landlord's damages hereunder shall include, but shall not be
limited to, any loss of Rent prior to or after reletting the Leased Premises,
broker's commissions, advertising costs, reasonable costs of repairing,
cleaning, repainting and remodeling the Leased Premises for reletting, moving
and storage charges incurred by Landlord in moving Tenant's property and effects
and legal costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in any
proceedings resulting from the Tenant's default, collecting any damages
hereunder, obtaining possession of the Leased Premises by summary process or
otherwise or reletting the Leased Premises, or the enforcement or declaration of
any of the rights or remedies of Landlord or obligations of Tenant, whether
arising under this Lease or granted, permitted or imposed by law or otherwise.

         18.4 LIMITATION OF RECOVERY. In the event that any court or
governmental authority shall limit any amount which Landlord may be entitled to
recover under this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover the maximum
amount permitted under law. Nothing in this Article or this Lease shall be
deemed to limit Landlord's recovery from Tenant of the maximum amount permitted
under law or of any other sums or damages which Landlord may be entitled to so
recover in addition to the damages set forth herein.

         18.5 EXCLUSIVITY OF REMEDIES.

                  (1) No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Landlord in this
Lease or in law or equity shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy but
the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute,
and every power and remedy given by this Lease to Landlord may be exercised from
time to time and as often as the occasion may rise or as may be deemed
expedient.

                  (2) No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or
power arising from any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein.

                  (3) No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants of this
Lease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any other breach or
waiver, acquiescence in or consent



                                       19
<PAGE>   20

to any further or succeeding breach of the same covenant.

                  (4) The rights herein given to accept, receive, collect, sue
for or disdain for any Rent, monies or payments, or to enforce the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Lease, or to prevent the breach of
non-observance thereof, or the exercise of any such right or of any other right
or remedy hereunder or otherwise granted or arising, shall not in any way affect
or impair, toll or waive the right or power of Landlord to declare the term
hereby granted ended and to terminate this Lease as herein provided because of
any default in or breach of any of the covenants, provisions or conditions of
this Lease.

19. LAWS, ORDERS

         19.1 LANDLORD'S COMPLIANCE. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant
that, to the best of its knowledge, the Leased Premises complies with all laws,
orders and regulations of federal, state, county and municipal authorities as of
the date hereof and that Landlord has received no notice from any such authority
with respect to the Leased Premises' violation or noncompliance. Landlord
represents and warrants to Tenant that the Leased Premises are zoned to permit
the permitted use of the Leased Premises hereunder without the need for any
variance or special exception.

         19.2 TENANT'S COMPLIANCE. Tenant shall comply at its cost and expense
with all laws, orders and regulations of federal, state, county and municipal
authorities, and with any direction or recommendation of any public officer and
officers, pursuant to law, or any legal request of any insurance company
carrying any insurance on the Leased Premises, and any insurance inspection or
rating bureau, which shall impose any duty upon Tenant with respect to the
Leased Premises, or the use or occupation thereof, and shall bear all costs of
any kind or nature whatsoever occasioned by or necessary for compliance with the
same. If, during the term of this Lease, any law, regulation or rule requires
that an alteration, repair, addition or other change of a permanent nature,
whether structural or otherwise, be made to the Leased Premises, such work is to
be done at Landlord's expense.

         19.2 TENANT'S ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE.

         19.2.1 DEFINITION. "Toxic or Hazardous Material" shall be interpreted
broadly to include, but shall not be limited to, any material or substance that,
under federal, state, or local laws, as now exist and may be amended, is defined

Toxic or Hazardous Material in, on, or about the Leased Premises caused by
Tenant or any of the Tenant Related Parties results in any kind of discharge or
release of Toxic or Hazardous Material from, in, under or on the Leased Premises
or any portion of Leased Premises, Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at
its sole expense, as necessary or appropriate to restore the Leased Premises to

remedial work.

                  (a) Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel
satisfactory to Landlord), save and hold harmless Landlord and Mortgagee and
their assigns, executors, administrators, partners, officers, employees,
contractors, and agents from any claims, judgment, damages, penalties, fines,
expenses, losses, or liabilities ("liabilities") that arise out of or in any way
relate to the presence, suspected presence, release, flow, migration,
percolation, diffusion, transportation, discharge, dumping, spilling, or
disposal of Toxic or Hazardous Substances, whether sudden, accidental,
intentional, or otherwise, and whether in, on, under, to or from soil, ground
water, or soil vapor of the Leased Premises and arising from the acts or
omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Related Party or which relate to a breach of
the environmental covenants made by Tenant above. Tenant shall not be
responsible for any Hazardous or Toxic Material which (a) is present as the
result of the act or omission of Landlord or any agent, employee, contractor or
assignee of Landlord, (b) was present in, on, at or under the Leased Premises
prior to Tenant's occupancy thereof, or (c) migrates to the Leased Premises from
any adjacent property through no act or omission of any Tenant Related Party.
This indemnity shall apply to liabilities which arise from activities or events
occurring during Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises and during any
holdover and also shall apply to any liabilities which arise after the
expiration or sooner termination of the Lease term or any holdover, if the
activities or events giving rise to such liability occurred during the term of
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, or during any holdover.

                  (b) This indemnity is intended to be interpreted broadly to
include all liabilities which might arise from or be related to Toxic or
Hazardous Material on the Leased Premises and arising from the acts or omissions
of Tenant or any Tenant Related Party and shall include, without limitation,
costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any
cleanup, remedial, removal, or restoration actions required by any federal,
state, or local governmental agency, political subdivision, or any other third
party because of the presence or suspected presence of Toxic or Hazardous
Material in the soil, groundwater, surface water, soil vapor or otherwise in,
on, or under the Leased Premises, or at any other location to which remediation
or cleanup residues from the Leased Premises are or have been transported and/or
disposed of, unless the Toxic or Hazardous Material are present at the Leased
Premises or other location solely as a result of the actions of Landlord. Those
costs may include, but are not limited to, diminution in the value of the Leased
Premises, damages for the loss or restriction of use of any portion of the
Leased Premises, cost recovery actions against Landlord as a potentially
responsible party, sums paid in settlements of claims, and the fees of
attorneys, environmental consultants, and other experts.

                  (c) The foregoing environmental indemnity shall survive in
favor of the Landlord and Mortgagee and their successors and assigns, and all of
them, after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease or any holdover
and/or the transfer of all or any portion of the Leased Premises, or of any
interest in this Lease. This indemnity shall be governed by the laws of the

state, and local laws and regulations regarding the financial responsibility, if
any, of owners and operators conducting the business permitted under the Lease,

persons, and only one person is required to demonstrate financial
responsibility, Tenant agrees that Tenant and not Landlord, shall be responsible
for complying with all the terms of the Financial Responsibility Requirements.
Tenant shall provide written evidence to Landlord on an annual basis evidencing
its compliance with applicable Financial Responsibility Requirements.

         19.2.5 NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. Tenant shall notify Landlord

have the right, but not the duty, to inspect and conduct sampling and testing at
the Leased Premises at reasonable times to determine whether Tenant is complying
with federal, state, and local, laws, regulations, and ordinances pertaining to
air and water quality, the handling, transportation, storage, treatment, usage,
or disposal of Toxic or Hazardous Material, including underground storage tank
systems, air emissions, other environmental matters, and all zoning and other
land use matters. Tenant shall deliver promptly upon request such documentation,
records test results, or other information in Tenant's possession that may be
relevant to any such inspection.

         19.2.7 CORRECTIVE ACTION.

                  (a) If any investigation, site monitoring, containment,
cleanup, removal, restoration, or other remedial work (the "Remedial Work") of
any kind is necessary under any applicable local, state, or federal laws or
regulations, or is required by any governmental entity or other third person
because of or in connection with the presence or suspected presence of Toxic or

<PAGE>   24

                  (b) If such Remedial Work which is the responsibility of
Tenant is necessary or required after the expiration or sooner termination of
this Lease or any holdover, Landlord may elect, in Landlord's sole discretion,
to grant to Tenant, its contractors, sub-contractors, employees or agents a
revocable license to enter upon the Leased Premises for the purpose necessary to
conduct the Remedial Work. Such revocable license shall continue in force at
Landlord's sole discretion or until the Remedial Work is completed, and is to be
construed only as a temporary license to enter and conduct investigations and
remedial actions and not as a grant of easement or other interest in the
property. If Landlord elects to perform the Remedial Work, or if Tenant does not
conduct the Remedial Work to Landlord's satisfaction and Landlord conducts such
Remedial Work on Tenant's behalf, then Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such
Remedial Work promptly upon demand. In addition, Rent shall accrue and be paid
by Tenant at the holdover rate until the state, federal, or local environmental
protection agency, the fire marshal, and all other applicable governmental
authorities determine that such Remedial Work has been completed satisfactorily.

21. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

         21.1 BONA FIDE OFFER.

                  (1) If prior to the expiration of the initial term or any
renewal term of this Lease or any earlier termination of the Lease as provided
herein, and provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, Landlord should receive
an offer acceptable to Landlord (an "Offer") from a bona fide third party (an
"Offeror"), to purchase all of, but not a part of, the Leased Premises, together
with the improvements located thereon, described in Exhibit A attached hereto
and made a part hereof, Landlord shall first offer to sell the Leased Premises
to Tenant at the price and on terms and conditions identical to those contained
in the Offer.

                  (2) Upon Landlord's receipt of an Offer, Landlord shall give
Tenant written notice of such Offer, which notice, in order to be effective,
shall include the name and address of the Offeror. The notice shall also include
a true and correct copy of the Offer under which Landlord would sell the Leased
Premises to the Offeror, which Offer must be acceptable to Landlord, subject
only to compliance with the right of first refusal created herein.

                  (3) Tenant, for a period of thirty (30) days after its receipt
of said written notice from the Landlord, shall have the right of first refusal
to purchase the Leased Premises at a price and on terms and conditions identical
to those contained in the Offer. If Tenant does not exercise its right to
purchase within the time period stated herein (the "Non-exereise"), Landlord
shall then be free to sell the Leased Premises free of Tenant's right of first
refusal for a period of no greater than 1 year after the date of the
Non-exercise but only to a purchaser (who may be an entity other than the
Offeror) and only at the same or greater price set forth in the Offer. However,
nothing contained herein shall prevent Landlord, after Tenant has failed to
exercise its right of first refusal, from agreeing to modifications or additions
to the Offer or any other offer satisfying the requirements of the immediately
preceeding sentence that related to non-financial terms and non-financial
conditions, including by way of example and not limitation, modification or
waiver of contingencies, modification of title evidence or other required
documentation, or modification of the closing date. The closing of any such
purchase by Tenant shall occur on or before the date set forth in the Offer.

                  (4) The right of first refusal granted to Tenant herein may
not be transferred or assigned by Tenant separate from an assignment of this
Lease pursuant to Article 11.

discharge liens, or make repairs), and whenever Landlord so elects, all costs
and expenses paid by Landlord in curing such default shall be so much additional
Rent due on the next rent date after such payment. Such costs and expenses shall

         22.6 MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. This Lease shall not be recorded, but the
parties agree, at the request of either of them, to execute a Memorandum of
Lease for recording, containing the names of the parties, their addresses, the
legal description, the commencement date, the termination date and the term of
the Lease.

         22.7 LAW APPLICABLE. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State where the Leased Premises are located.

         22.8 COVENANTS BINDING ON SUCCESSORS. All of the covenants, agreements,
conditions and undertakings contained in this Lease shall extend and inure to
and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns
of the respective parties hereto, the same as if they were in every case
specifically named, and wherever in this Lease reference is made to either of
the parties hereto, it shall be held to include and apply to, wherever
applicable, the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of such
party. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to grant or confer upon any
third person or persons, firm, corporation or governmental authority, other than
the parties hereto, their heirs, executors, administrators,



                                       27
<PAGE>   28

successors and assigns, any right, claim or privilege by virtue of any
covenants, agreement, condition or undertaking in this Lease contained.

         22.9 LANDLORD MEANS OWNER. The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease,
so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall
be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question
of the fee of the Leased Premises, and in the event of any transfer or transfer
of the title to such fee, Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent
transfer or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be automatically freed and
relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of all
liabilities with respect to the performance of any covenants or obligations on
the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed.

         22.10 EXPENSES. If either party defaults in its obligation under this
Lease, said defaulting party agrees to pay on demand the non-defaulting party's
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and administrative
hearing and costs incurred either directly or indirectly in enforcing any
obligation of the defaulting party under this Lease. Tenant shall look solely to
Landlord's estate and interest to the Leased Premises for the satisfaction of
any right of Tenant for the collection of any payment of money by Landlord.

         22.11 SUBORDINATION OF SUPERIORITY. If the mortgagee or trustee in any
mortgage or trust deed hereafter made shall elect to make this Lease subject and
subordinate to its mortgage or trust deed, then all or a portion of the rights
and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to such
mortgage or trust deed and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to
the interest thereof, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof
provided such mortgagee or trustee enters into a Subordination, Attornment and
Non-Disturbance Agreement reasonably acceptable to Tenant's counsel. Any
mortgagee or trustee in any mortgage or trust deed may elect that, instead of
making this Lease or permitting this Lease to be subject and subordinate to its
mortgage or trust deed, the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall
have priority over the lien of its mortgage or trust deed. Tenant agrees that it
will, within ten days after demand in writing, execute and deliver whatever
instruments may be required, either to make this Lease subject and subordinate
to such mortgage or trust deed, or to give this Lease priority over the lien of
the mortgage or trust deed, whichever alternative may be elected by the
mortgagee or trustee.

         22.12 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is expressly declared to be of the essence
in this Lease unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.

         22.13 LEASE BINDING ONLY ON EXECUTION. The submission of this document
for examination does not constitute an option or offer to lease the Leased
Premises. This document shall have no binding effect on the parties unless
executed by Landlord and Tenant and a fully executed copy is delivered to
Tenant.

         22.14 DELAYS AND INABILITY TO PERFORM. In the event that either party
hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any
act required hereunder, by



                                       28
<PAGE>   29

reason of strikes, lockouts, inability to procure labor or materials, failure of
power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, war,
fire or other casualty or other reason of a similar or dissimilar nature beyond
the reasonable control of the party delayed in performing work or doing acts
required under the terms of this Lease, then performance of such act shall be
excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any
such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.
The provisions of this section shall not operate to excuse Tenant from prompt
payment of Rent or any other payments required by the terms of this Lease and
shall not extend the Term. Delays or failures to perform resulting from lack of
funds shall not be deemed delays beyond the reasonable control of a party.

         22.15 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
or construed as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of
partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood
and agreed that neither the provision contained herein, nor any acts of the
parties, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto
other than the relationship of landlord and tenant, nor cause Landlord to be
responsible in any way for the acts, debts or obligations of Tenant.

         22.16 BROKER. Tenant warrants that is has dealt with no broker,
commission agent, finder or other person or entity with respect to this Lease
and Landlord warrants that it has dealt with no broker, commission agent, finder
or other person or entity with respect to this Lease. Each party shall indemnify
and hold harmless the other party from any and all claims, actions, damages,
costs and expenses and liability whatsoever, including reasonable attorney's
fees, that may arise from any claims for commission or finder's fees in
connection with this Lease or the Premises.

         22.17 INTERPRETATION.

                  (a) The article headings, section headings, and captions
appearing in this Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no
way amplify. define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or intent of such
articles or sections nor in any way affect the interpretation of this Lease.
Except where otherwise expressly provided, each reference in this Lease to a
Section or Article shall mean the referenced Section or Article in this Lease.
References to Exhibits shall mean the Exhibits attached hereto, each of which is
incorporated herein full. The words "herein" and "hereunder" or similar
references shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed in reference
to the entire Lease and not merely the Section or Article in which such
reference appears.

                  (b) The necessary grammatical changes required to make the
provisions hereof apply either to corporations or partnerships or individuals,
men or women, as the case may require, shall in all cases be assumed as though
in each case fully expressed.

                  (c) The parties hereto agree that all the provisions of this
Lease are to be construed as covenants and agreements as though the words
importing such covenants and agreements were used in each separate provision
hereof

                  (d) This Lease is the product of negotiation and preparation
by, between and among Landlord and Tenant and their respective attorneys.
Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall
not be deemed prepared or drafted by one party or another, and shall be
construed accordingly.

         22.18 SEVERABILITY. It is the intention of the parties hereto that if
any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would
render the provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning which
renders it valid. If any term or provision, or any portion thereof, of this
Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any
extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the
application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than
those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected
thereby, and each other term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         22.19 CORPORATE TENANT. The person executing this Lease on behalf of
the Tenant hereby covenants and warrants that: the Tenant is a duly constituted
corporation qualified to do business in the state in which the Leased Premises
is located; all Tenant's corporate franchise taxes have been paid to date; all
future forms, reports, fees and other documents necessary for Tenant to comply
with applicable laws will be filed by Tenant when due; and such person is duly
authorized by the governing body of such corporation to execute and deliver this
Lease on behalf of the corporation.

         22.20 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                  (a) Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the
other that it is legally qualified, empowered and able to enter into this Lease,
and that the execution, delivery and performance hereof shall not constitute a
breach or violation of any agreement, contract or other obligation or any kind
to which the party is subject or by which it is bound.

                  (b) Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the
other that it has taken all necessary corporate or other necessary action to
make this Lease legally binding on such party, and that the individual signing
this Lease on behalf of such party has been fully authorized and empowered to
execute this Lease on behalf of such party.

                  (c) Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the
other that no consent of any other party, and no consent, license, approval or
authorization of, or exemption by, or filing, restriction or declaration with,
any governmental authority, bureau, agency or regulatory authority is required
in connection with the execution, delivery, validity or enforceability of this
Lease.

                  (d) Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the
other that neither the execution or delivery of this Lease nor the consummation
of the transactions contemplated herein will constitute or result in the breach
of any term, condition or provision of, or constitute a



                                       30

firm of independent certified public accountants acceptable to Landlord (which
