                Rent shall be paid in the amount of SIX HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN
                THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-NINE AND 50/100 ($637,669.50)
                DOLLARS, payable in monthly installments in advance in the
                amount of FIFTY-THREE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE AND
                13/100 ($53,139.13) DOLLARS; and

           (ii) For each of the second (2nd) five (5) Lease Years, Minimum
                Annual Rent shall be paid in the amount of SIX HUNDRED SEVEY-
                THREE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED SIXTY-FOUR AND 00/100 ($673,764.00)

                ($56,147.00) DOLLARS.

                Each of such installments shall be payable on the first (1st)
                calendar day of each calendar month in advance and without
                demand. In the event the term of this Lease commences on a day
                other than the first day of a calendar month, the Lessee shall
                pay to the Lessor, on or before the Commencement Date, a pro
                rata portion of the monthly installment of rent, such pro rata
                portion to be based on the number of days remaining in such
                partial month after the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the
                foregoing Lessee's obligation to pay Minimum Annual Rent shall
                not commence until the first (1st) month following the
                Commencement Date. Upon execution hereof, Lessee has paid Lessor

                Lessor hereby acknowledges. Lessee hereby covenants and agrees
                to pay the rent hereby reserved as and when due, and also all
                sums of money, charges or other amounts required to be paid by
                the Lessee to the

                                       4


                Lessor or to another person under this Lease which shall be
                "rent" in addition to the rent provided for herein. Nonpayment
                of additional rent when due shall constitute a default under
                this Lease to the same extent, and shall entitle the Lessor to
                the same remedies, as nonpayment of rent.

     (b)   Option Term.  Minimum Annual Rent for the option term shall be
           -----------
           charged at the greater of

           (i)  the Minimum Annual Rent charged in the last Lease year of the
                Initial Term or;

           (ii) ninety-five (95%) percent of the "Fair Market Rent" (as such
                term is hereafter defined) shall be deemed to be the yearly
                rental charged by landlords within the prior twelve (12) months
                for similar properties under similar terms and leases in the
                Greater Hartford Market. Within thirty (30) days following
                Lessee's exercise of the option to extend the initial term
                hereof, Lessor shall notify Lessee of the Fair Market Rent and
                the Minimum Annual Rent to be charged ("Lessor's Rent Notice").
                If within thirty (30) days following receipt by Lessee of
                Lessor's Rent Notice, Lessee has not by notice to Lessor either
                accepted the Fair Market Rent set forth in Lessor's Rent Notice
                or elected arbitration as set forth in subsection (c) hereof,
                the statement of Fair Market Rent in Lessor's Rent Notice shall
                be deemed agreed to. Fair Market Rent shall not include any item
                of additional rent set forth in Section 5 hereof.

     (c)   Arbitration.  If Lessee disagrees with Lessor's statement of the Fair
           -----------
           Market Rent as set forth in Lessor's Rent Notice, Lessee may elect to
           have the Fair Market Rent determined by binding arbitration, such
           election to be made as provided in subsection (b) hereof. Arbitration
           shall be conducted under the auspices of the American Arbitration
           Association held at Hartford, Connecticut, the costs of which shall
           be borne equally by Lessor and Lessee.

     (d)   Late Payment.  If any installment of rent additional rent or
           ------------
           otherwise, shall be unpaid for more than ten (10) days after the same
           shall be due, Lessee shall pay a late fee of five (5%) percent of
           such late installment.

5.   RENT ESCALATION.
     ---------------

     (a)   Lessee's Proportionate Share.  Escalation as provided in this
           ----------------------------
           Section is based on certain concepts as hereinafter defined. The
           reference to "Lessee's Proportionate Share" means the ratio of
           Lessee's rentable area (which as to the Premises on the first (1st)
           floor is as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part
                                  ---------
           hereof; and as to the Premises on the second (2nd) floor is defined
           in Exhibit B-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof) to the total
              -----------
           amount of rentable area available in the Building, whether occupied
           or not, and such percentage in this Lease initially is THIRTY AND
           66/100 (30.66%) PERCENT. Relevant data shall be handled by the
           application of generally accepted accounting principles and
           practices, and Lessor's operating cost records for not more than
           three (3) years shall be available for review upon request by Lessee.
           Lessor will send to Lessee, in the manner of a written notice
           hereunder, an invoice setting forth the amount due.

     (b)   Impositions.  Lessee agrees to pay Lessor Lessee's Proportionate
           -----------
           Share of any increase (and shall receive a credit for any decrease)
           in real estate taxes, special district taxes (or any taxes on rents
           or property income imposed in lieu of the current system of ad
           valorem taxation) betterment and special assessments, but only the
           annual installments thereof if permitted to be paid in such manner
           (the "Impositions") payable in respect to the Building and land
           described on Exhibit A-1 (the "Land") in each year during the Lease
                        -----------
           term whether resulting from a change in assessment or rate or both
           above the amount of the Impositions in the twelve (12) month period
           commencing January 1, 1998 and ending on December 31, 1998 (the "Tax
           Base Year"). If the last year of the term of this Lease shall not be
           a full calendar year, then Lessee's obligation for increases in the
           Impositions attributable to such year shall be pro rated on the basis
           of the
<PAGE>

                                       6


          ratio between the number of days of such calendar years falling within
          the Lease term and 365.

     (c)  Operating Expenses.   If the "Operating Expenses" (as such term is
          ------------------
          hereinafter defined), shall exceed those incurred by Lessor in the
          calendar year 1998 (the "Operating Expense Base Year"), then Lessee
          shall pay Lessor, as additional rent, Lessee's Proportionate Share of
          the amount of the Operating Expenses in excess thereof in the manner
          hereinafter provided. If the last year of the term of this Lease shall
          not be a full calendar year, then Lessee's obligation for Operating
          Expenses attributable to such year shall be pro rated on the basis of
          the ratio between the number of days of such calendar year falling
          within the Lease term and 365.

          "Operating Expenses" shall mean any and all reasonable and necessary
          expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with its ownership,
          maintenance and operation of the Land, and of the Building, excluding:
          (i) the Impositions, (ii) interest or amortization payments on any
          mortgage, (iii) legal expenses in enforcing the terms of any lease,
          (iv) expenses for repair or other work occasioned by fire or other
          casualty which is covered under a standard fire policy with extended
          coverage, (v) expenses incurred in the leasing or procuring of new
          tenants, including lease commissions and fit-up and/or decorating
          costs, and (vi) advertising expenses and expenses for renting space
          for new tenants.

          Operating Expenses shall include without limitation, (vii) insurance
          coverage maintained on the Land and Building and for public liability
          and third party property damage as adjusted by Lessor from time to
          time which, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, shall be necessary,
          (viii) all labor costs for Building employees, normal and customary
          third party management fees, (ix) service contracts and supplies used
          in connection with the cleaning, operating, labor and maintenance of
          the Land and Building, (x) all repairs and decorating required to be
          performed by Lessor as provided for in this Lease, (xi) Common Area
          maintenance and snow removal, building supplies, (xii) equipment
          purchases not subject to an allowance for depreciation and the
          amortized portion of equipment purchases (using Internal Revenue
          Service published useful life tables) as to
<PAGE>

                                       7


           equipment subject to such allowance for depreciation and maintenance,
           (xiii) all charges for the entire Building (including leaseable
           portions as well as non-leaseable portions) for electricity, steam,
           oil, gas (or other fuel) and water (including sewer use fees and
           including any taxes on such utilities), (xiv) the amortized cost of
           any replacements to the Building or the Common Area based upon the
           useful life tables published by The United States Internal Revenue
           Service. In connection with the computation of labor charges and
           management fees, such charges shall include salary, wages, medical,
           surgical and general welfare benefits, including group life insurance
           and pension payments to employees of Lessor whose labor is chargeable
           to the Building, or its Building Management Agent, payroll taxes,
           workmen's compensation, uniforms, dry cleaning and other charges that
           may be payable by Lessor for the Building employees and such other
           expenses as Lessor may deem necessary and proper in connection with
           the operation and maintenance of a first-class office building and
           the common areas.

           In the event that the Building is less than one hundred (100%)
           percent occupied, any variable expenses included in Operating
           Expenses will be adjusted for the Operating Expense Base Year and for
           all subsequent years and for billing purposes up to the level which
           would have been spent if the Building were ninety-five (95%) percent
           occupied.

     (d)   Payment of Additional Rent. Commencing as of the first (1st)
           --------------------------
           anniversary of the Commencement Date, Lessee shall pay Lessor as
           additional rent monthly in advance, a sum equal to 1/12th of Lessee's
           Proportionate Share of increases in Operating Expenses and
           Impositions as projected by Lessor. Within ninety (90) days of the
           expiration of each calendar year Lessor shall furnish Lessee with a
           written statement of the actual Operating Expenses and Impositions
           incurred for the prior calendar year. In the event such statement
           discloses that the additional rent paid by Lessee as Lessee's
           Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and the Impositions is
           greater or less than the amount actually incurred, either Lessor
           shall credit Lessee with the amount of such overpayment to be applied
           to the monthly installments next coming due after delivery of such
           statement, or Lessee shall pay such amount within thirty (30) days
           after receipt of such statement. Lessor shall
<PAGE>

                                       8


           provide to Lessee, upon Lessee's request the 1997 operating statement
           for the Building within one hundred twenty (120) days following year
           end.

           Lessee shall have ninety (90) days following the date on which it has
           received Lessor's statement of Operating Expenses and Impositions to
           dispute the rental adjustment determination by submitting notice to
           Lessor, which notice shall include the specifics of Lessee's dispute.
           If within thirty (30) days after the submittal of Lessee's notice, no
           settlement is reached, Lessee may audit Lessor's books and records
           regarding the matter in dispute employing an independent Certified
           Public Accounting firm selected by Lessee. In the event the audit
           results in a variance of three (3%) percent or less in the rental
           adjustment, Lessee shall pay the expenses involved in such audit.
           Lessor shall be obligated to pay the expenses involved in such audit
           only if the result is a variance of greater than three (3%) percent
           in the rental adjustment.

           "Hazardous Substances") as so classified by any law or regulation
           shall be stored, handled or disposed of in or about the Premises by
           Lessee. The Lessee herewith indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold
           the Lessor harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, or
           claims arising out of the storage, handling, discharge or disposal of
           the Hazardous Substances by Lessee. The indemnity contained herein
           shall survive the termination of this Lease.

7.   CONSTRUCTION OF THE PREMISES.
     ----------------------------

     (a)   Lessee will construct improvements to the Premises (the "Tenant
           Improvements") based upon plans to be furnished to Lessor by Lessee
           and approved by Lessor. Within thirty (30) days following the
           execution of this Lease, Lessee shall submit plans for construction
           of the Tenant Improvements for Lessor's approval, which approval
           shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Lessor shall deny approval of
           the Plans, such denial shall be given to Lessee stating the reasons
           for such denial within ten (10) days after Lessee has submitted its
           preliminary plans. If Lessor shall reject such plans, Lessee may re-
           submit plans for the Tenant Improvements to Lessor for its approval,
           which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor shall have
           the same option as set forth above to reject or accept the plans.
           Once Lessor has accepted plans for the Tenant Improvements, Lessee
           shall thereafter enter into a contract with a contractor reasonably
           acceptable to Lessor for the Tenant Improvements and complete the
           same within forty-five (45) days. Tenant Improvements may not include
           any moveable trade fixtures, furniture, equipment, telephone or other
           communications equipment or wiring.
<PAGE>

                                      10


     (b)   The cost of the Tenant Improvements will be paid as follows:

           (i)  Lessor shall pay an amount equal to the lesser of SEVEN HUNDRED
           TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY and 00/100 ($721,890.00)
           DOLLARS or the final cost of the Tenant Improvements (the "Tenant
           Allowance") payable to Lessee, provided no uncured event of default
           is then existing, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice
           from Lessee which invoice shall contain a detail account of all
           expenses incurred in said billing period and certified by Lessee's
           architect as completed to the date of such invoice in accordance with
           the plans and specifications; and

           (ii) Lessee shall pay the cost of the Tenant Improvements in excess
           of the Tenant Allowance.

     (c)   Lessee shall have the right to enter the Premises in order to
           undertake Lessee's Work and to install its fixtures, furniture and
           communications equipment without payment of rent.

     (d)   Lessor shall pay to Lessee at the Commencement Date, Lessee's
           reasonable documented costs, incurred with nonaffiliated vendors, for
           space planning, preparation of plans for the Tenant Improvements, and
           interior design fees not exceeding however FIFTY-FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN
           HUNDRED NINETY and 50/100 ($54,790.50) DOLLARS. Lessee shall submit
           all invoices for such costs with all supporting documentation at the
           time at which Lessee seeks reimbursement for such costs.

8.   ALTERATIONS.
     -----------

     Except as provided herein, Lessee shall make no alterations, additions or
     improvements to the Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor
     which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The term
     "alterations" shall not include the installation of shelves, moveable
     partitions, Lessee's equipment, and trade fixtures which may be installed
     or performed without damaging existing improvements, the structural
     integrity of the Building, and the mechanical systems of the Building, and
     Lessor's consent shall not be required for the installation of those items.
     All such alterations, additions or improvements, along with the
     construction and other items of work done pursuant to Section 7 hereof,
     shall become a part of the Premises and shall remain upon and
<PAGE>

                                      11


     be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the term, provided, however,
     if prior to the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise, or
     within fifteen (15) days thereafter Lessor so directs by written notice to
     Lessee, the Lessee shall promptly remove any alterations, additions,
     improvements or installations not previously approved by Lessor and all
     telecommunications and computer wiring and conduit which were placed in the
     Premises by Lessee and which are designated in said notice. Lessee shall
     repair any damage occasioned by such removal and in default thereof Lessor
     may effect said removals and repairs at Lessee's expense. Lessee shall
     procure all required licenses and permits for the installation of any
     equipment and/or alterations and furnish copies thereof to Lessor prior to
     the commencement of any work.

9.   MECHANICS' LIENS.
     ----------------

     Prior to Lessee performing any construction or other work on or about the
     Premises for which a lien could be filed against the Premises or the
     Building, Lessee at the Lessor's option, shall furnish reasonably
     satisfactory security for the protection of the Lessor against mechanics'
     liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any mechanics' or other lien shall
     be filed against the Premises or the Building purporting to be for labor or
     material furnished or to be furnished at the request of the Lessee, then
     Lessee shall at its expense cause such lien to be discharged of record by
     payment, bond or otherwise, within thirty (30) days after the filing
     thereof. If Lessee shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged of record
     within such thirty (30) day period, or shall fail to establish an escrow
     for such claim with Lessor reasonably acceptable to Lessor, Lessor may
     cause such lien to be discharged by payment, bond or otherwise, without
     investigation as to the validity thereof or as to any offsets or defenses
     thereto, and Lessee shall, upon demand as additional rent, reimburse Lessor
     for all amounts paid and costs incurred including attorneys fees, in having
     such lien discharged of record.

10.  CONDITION OF PREMISES.
     ---------------------

     (a)   Lessee acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in
           this Lease, there have been no representations or warranties made by
           or on behalf of Lessor with respect to the Premises or the Building
           or with respect to the suitability of either for the conduct of
           Lessee's business. The taking of possession of the Premises by Lessee
<PAGE>

                                      12


           shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were
           at such time in satisfactory condition, order and repair and
           constructed by Lessor in accordance with the requirements of this
           Lease.

     (b)   Lessor agrees that as of the Commencement Date, the Building will be
           in material compliance with all laws and regulations relating to its
           occupancy, provided, however, Lessor shall have no liability for
           Lessee's failure to insure that Lessee's Work or any of Lessee's
           subsequent alterations to the Premises shall be in compliance with
           such laws and regulations.

11.  BUILDING SERVICES.
     -----------------

     Lessor shall provide, within the standards of similar buildings in Windsor,
     Connecticut, on each item, the following services and facilities:

     (a)   Air conditioning, ventilation and heating, through the air
           conditioning system of the Building, on business days Monday through
           Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to
           1:00 p.m. Air conditioning and heating shall be provided to the
           Premises upon request of Lessee for after hours operation, provided
           that Lessee shall pay Lessor Lessor's direct cost to provide such
           services. Lessee agrees to cooperate fully with Lessor and to abide
           by all the regulations and requirements which Lessor may reasonably
           prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the air
           conditioning systems. It is understood that such a system is designed
           for heat loads not to exceed six (6) watts (lighting and power) of
           electricity per square foot and a population not to exceed one (1)
           person for each 150 square feet;

      (b)  Electric current for building standard level of illumination using
           standard fixtures of Lessor's choice, and replacement of light globes
           and/or fluorescent tubes in the standard lighting fixtures installed
           in the Premises by Lessor. However, Lessor's agreement to furnish
           electricity for lighting does not include electricity for
           reproduction machinery, other than normal 110 voltage computers or
           other equipment, except electric typewriters and desk-type adding
           machines, nor any equipment requiring a greater voltage than the
           lighting circuits standard in the Building. Such
<PAGE>

                                      13


           additional electrical service will be furnished, if reasonably
           available, upon Lessee's tendering all costs of installation,
           including wiring and separate metering, and agreeing in writing to
           pay the cost of current as additional rent, provided, however, the
           service capacity of electricity at the electric closet shall not
           exceed six (6) watts per square foot. Special installations, such as
           computers, which in the opinion of Lessor require additional
           electrical services (including primary service and transformers)
           shall be made at Lessee's expense and paid prior to such
           installation. Lessor reserves the right to install electric submeters
           to measure Lessee's electric consumption and to rebill Lessee for
           such usage exceeding that which Lessor provides in subsection (a) and
           in this subsection (b);

     (c)   Maintenance of service of the public toilet rooms in the Building;

     (d)   Maintenance of standard hardware and draperies installed in the
           Premises by Lessor;

     (e)   Maintenance and waxing of composition tile floors;

     (f)   Cleaning of outside and inside of exterior window panes;

     (g)   Cleaning and maintenance of common areas in the Building;

     (h)   Continuous elevator service during regular business days and hours,
           and service via at least one car per elevator bank at all other
           times;

     (i)   Janitor service, including the removal of debris, cleaning of space,
           dusting of furniture, desks and pictures, vacuuming and wall washing
           where washable materials are used to cover walls, in a manner
           befitting a first-class office building performed in accordance with
           Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof;
           ---------

     (j)   Tempered and cold water for lavatory and drinking purposes; if Lessee
           requires water for additional purposes, Lessee shall pay the cost
           thereof as shown on a meter to be installed and maintained at
           Lessee's expense to measure such consumption; and

     (k)   Signage (for letters "SS&C") on the I-91 (east) side and north side
           of the Building with letter
<PAGE>

                                      14


           size and style comparable to the "ADVO" and "Xerox" signs on
           buildings in Windsor (the "Building Sign"); a tenant identification
           panel on the sign at the Lamberton Road side (west side) of the
           Building at the driveway entrance (the "Driveway Sign"); and Lessor
           will install a monument sign dedicated to Lessee's exclusive use at
           the landscaped area adjacent to the west side entrance (the "Monument
           Sign") which Monument Sign shall be substantially similar to the
           monument sign at the East Side of the Building (I-91 side). Lessor
           agrees that no other tenant identification sign shall be located on
           the west side of the Building immediately adjacent to the west side
           entrance to the Building.

           Lessor shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for delay or
           failure in furnishing any of the foregoing services or facilities
           where such delay or failure is excusable pursuant to the provisions
           of Section 25 hereof. In no event shall such delay or failure,
           regardless of cause, constitute an eviction of Lessee or termination
           of this Lease.

12.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
     -------------------------

     Except as hereafter provided, Lessee shall have no right to sublet all or
     any part of the Premises, or assign, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber
     this Lease without the prior written consent of Lessor which as to
     subleases shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may assign this Lease or sublease the
     Premises or any portion thereof, without Lessor's consent (but with prior
     notice to Lessor of such assignment or sublease accompanied by a copy of
     such assignment or sublease and an agreement by the assignee or sublessee
     to be bound by the terms of the Lease) to any corporation or other entity
     which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Lessee,
     to any corporation or other entity resulting from the merger or
     consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires the
     assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being conducted
     on the Premises or to any entity having a net worth not less than that of
     Lessee as of the date of the execution of this Lease.

13.  ACCESS TO PREMISES.
     ------------------

     Lessor, its employees and agents shall have the right to enter the Premises
     at all reasonable times (upon one (1) business day's notice) for the
     purpose of examining or inspecting the same, showing the same to
     prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants (but as to tenant inspections
     only during the last lease year of any term provided that the same has not
     been extended), and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or
     additions to the Premises or to the Building as Lessor may deem necessary
     or desirable. If representatives of Lessee shall not be present to open and
     permit entry into the Premises at any time when such entry by Lessor is
     necessary or permitted hereunder, Lessor may enter by means of a master key
     (or forcibly in the event of any emergency) without liability to Lessee and
     without such entry constituting an eviction of Lessee or termination of
     this Lease. Lessor shall have the right to enter the basement storage area
     to make inspections and repairs to any of Lessor's equipment located
     therein without prior notice to Lessee.

14.  REPAIRS.
     -------

     (a)   Lessor shall make, at its sole cost and expense, all repairs
           necessary to maintain the plumbing in the public rest rooms, heating,
           ventilating, air conditioning and electrical systems, windows, floors
           (excluding carpeting), the roof, foundations, and other structural
           elements of the Building, the elevators, parking lots, common areas,
           and all other items installed or furnished by Lessor; provided,
           however, that Lessor shall not be obligated for any of such repairs
           until the expiration of a reasonable period of time after written
           notice from Lessee that such repair is needed. In no event shall
           Lessor be obligated under this Section to repair any damage caused by
           any negligence, malfeasance, or negligent omission of the Lessee or
           its employees, agents, invitees, licensees, sublessees, or
           contractors.

     (b)   Except as the Lessor is obligated for repairs as provided
           hereinabove, Lessee shall make, at its sole cost and expense, all
           repairs necessary to maintain the Premises and shall keep the
           Premises and the fixtures therein in neat and orderly condition. If
           the Lessee refuses or neglects to make such repairs or fails to
           diligently prosecute the same to completion, after written notice
           from Lessor of the need therefor, Lessor may make such
<PAGE>

                                      16


           repairs at the expense of Lessee and such expense shall be
           collectible as additional rent.

     (c)   Lessor shall not be liable by reason of any injury to or interference
           with Lessee's business arising from the making of any repairs,
           alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises or the
           Building or to any appurtenances or equipment therein except as a
           result of Lessor's negligence, malfeasance or negligent omission.
           There shall be no abatement of rent because of such repairs,
           alterations, additions or improvements, except as provided in Section
           17 hereof.

15.  SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
     ---------------------

     At the end of the term of this Lease, Lessee shall surrender the Premises
     to Lessor, together with all alterations, additions and improvements
     thereto, in broom clean condition and in good order and repair except for
     ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Lessee is not obligated to make
     repairs under this Lease. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof and
     if Lessee is not then in default under the terms hereof, Lessee shall have
     the right at the end of the term hereof to remove any equipment, furniture,
     trade fixtures or other personal property placed in the Premises by Lessee,
     provided that Lessee shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises
     caused by such removal. Lessee shall remove all alterations, additions,
     improvements or installations as to which Lessor shall have made the
     election provided for in Section 8 hereof. Lessee shall repair all damage
     to the Premises caused by such removal and restore the Premises to the
     condition in which they were prior to the installation of the items so
     removed. Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor at the end of the
     term hereof, without notice of any kind.

     (a)   Lessee shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessor from and

           such types and amounts as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, shall
           deem reasonably appropriate. The cost of any such insurance may be
           included in the Operating Expenses. Lessor hereby releases Lessee and
           its agents or employees, from responsibility for, and waives its
           entire claim and recovery for, any loss or damage arising from any
           cause covered by insurance carried or required to be carried by
           Lessor. Lessor shall provide notice to the insurance carrier(s)
<PAGE>

                                      19


           of this waiver of subrogation, and shall cause such carrier(s) to
           waive all rights of subrogation against Lessee.

17.  FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.
     ----------------------

     (a)   If the Premises are not "Materially Damaged" by fire or other
           casualty, the damage shall be repaired by and at the expense of
           Lessor, and the rent until such repairs shall be made shall be
           apportioned from the date of such fire or other casualty according to
           the part of the Premises which is usable by Lessee. Lessor agrees to
           repair such damage within a reasonable period of time after receipt
           from Lessee of written notice of such damage, except that Lessee
           agrees to repair and replace its own furniture, furnishings and
           equipment. If "non material" damage (i.e., damage which, can in the
           reasonable judgment of Lessor, can be repaired in ninety (90) days)
           to the Premises shall occur and Lessor has failed to restore the
           Premises within ninety (90) days thereafter, Lessee shall have the
           right to terminate this Lease by notice to Lessor.

     (b)   If the Premises are "Materially Damaged" by fire or other casualty,
           or if the Building shall be "Materially Damaged" such that Lessor
           shall decide to demolish it or not to rebuild it, then or in any such
           events Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease
           upon notice to the other, and thereupon the term of this Lease shall
           expire by lapse of time upon the third day after such notice is
           given, and Lessee shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to
           Lessor. Upon the termination of this Lease under the conditions
           hereinbefore provided, Lessee's liability for rent shall cease as of
           the day following the casualty.

     (c)   For purposes hereof, "Materially Damaged" shall mean damage that
           cannot be repaired (in the reasonable judgment of Lessor) within one
           hundred eighty (180) days of occurrence thereof (or within ninety
           (90) days of the occurrence if the same shall occur in the last Lease
           Year of the Term and Lessee shall not elect to exercise its extension
           rights). If Lessor commences repair work and it takes longer than one
           hundred eighty (180) days to complete such repair (or ninety (90)
           days, as applicable), Lessee shall have the right to terminate this
           Lease by notice to Lessor.

18.  SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.
     ----------------------------

     (a)   Lessee accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any first
           mortgage or mortgages (including, without limitation, the notes or
           other obligations secured thereby and any and all renewals,
           modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions of any such
           mortgages or the notes or other obligations secured thereby) easement
           or restriction of record now in existence or hereinafter made from
           time to time, affecting the fee title or the leasehold estate to the
           Building or the real property on which the Building is located (or
           any part thereof) or Lessor's interest therein but only on the
           condition that Lessee's rights under this Lease will be recognized
           and its right of possession not disturbed. Lessee also accepts this
           Lease subject and subordinate to all easements, restrictions and
           instruments in the chain of fee title to the Building or the real
           property on which the Building is located, including any and all
           renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions
           of such instruments. Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
           the holder of any such mortgage or to any of the parties to such
           instruments, at any time upon demand by such holder or by any such
           party, any releases, certificates or other documents that may be
           required by such holder or by any such party, for the purpose of
           evidencing the subordination of this Lease to such mortgages or
           instruments or to any renewals, modifications, consolidations,
           replacements or extensions thereof. In the event of a sale under any
           mortgage (or any note or other obligation secured thereby) to which
           this Lease is subordinate, or a taking of possession of the Premises
           by the mortgagee or other person acting for or through the mortgagee
           under any mortgage to which this Lease is subordinate, then and upon
           the happening of any such events, Lessee shall attorn to and
           recognize as Lessor hereunder the party who, but for this Lease,
           would be entitled to possession of the Premises.

     (b)   Lessee agrees that in the event of any act or omission of Lessor
           which would give Lessee the right, immediately or after lapse of a
           period of time, to cancel or terminate this Lease, or to claim a
           partial or total eviction, Lessee shall not exercise such right (i)
           until it has given written notice of such act or omission to Lessor
<PAGE>

                                      21


           and the holder of each superior mortgage whose name and address shall
           previously have been furnished to Lessee in writing, and (ii) unless
           such act or omission shall be one which is not capable of being
           remedied by Lessor or such mortgage holder within a reasonable period
           of time, until a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission
           shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following
           the time when such holder or Lessor shall have become entitled under
           such superior mortgage or superior lease, as the case may be, to
           remedy the same (which reasonable period shall be the period to which
           Lessor would be entitled under this Lease or otherwise, after similar
           notice to effect such remedy), provided such holder or Lessor shall
           with due diligence given Lessee written notice of intention to, and
           commence and continue to remedy such act or omission.

19.  CONDEMNATION.
     ------------

     In the event that the Premises or any material part thereof or material
     portion of the parking area which results in a reduction below 4.6 spaces
     per 1,000 square feet of rentable area, or access to Lamberton Road shall
     be condemned for public use or any conveyance shall be made pursuant to
     condemnation order, and such parts or portions cannot be replaced by
     substantially similar facilities and, then in that event, upon the vesting
     of title to the same for such public use, this Lease upon the election of
     either Lessor or Lessee shall terminate, anything herein contained to the
     contrary notwithstanding. In the event of such termination of this Lease,
     all rent paid in advance shall be apportioned as of the date of such
     termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in
     the event that only a part of the Premises shall be so taken and the part
     not so taken shall be sufficient for the operation of Lessee's business as
     conducted prior to the condemnation, Lessee at its election, made in
     writing within ten (10) business days following such taking, may retain the
     part not so taken and there shall be a proportional reduction in the rent.
     All compensation awarded or paid upon such a total or partial taking of the
     Premises shall belong to and be the property of the Lessor without any
     participation by the Lessee; provided, however, that nothing contained
     herein shall be construed to preclude the Lessee from prosecuting any claim
     directly against the condemning authority in such condemnation proceedings
     for losses, including damage
<PAGE>

                                      22


     to, or cost of removal of, trade fixtures, furniture, and other personal
     property belonging to the Lessee or for relocation expenses as provided by
     statute but excluding the lost value of the leasehold; provided, however,
     that no such claim shall diminish or otherwise adversely affect the
     Lessor's award or the award of any mortgagee.

20.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
     ---------------------

     Lessor and Lessee shall at any time and from time to time, within twenty
     (20) days following written request from the other or any mortgagee,
     execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party or mortgagee a
     written statement certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect
     (to the extent the same is accurate) and unmodified (or, if modified,
     stating the nature of such modification), certifying the date to which the
     rent reserved hereunder has been paid, and certifying that there are not,
     to the requested party's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the
     requesting party or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such
     statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of
     all or any part of the Building or the land. The requested party's failure
     to deliver such statement within said twenty (20) day period shall be
     conclusive upon the requested party that this Lease is in full force and
     effect and unmodified, and that there are no uncured defaults in the
     requesting party's performance hereunder.

21.  EVENT OF DEFAULT.
     ----------------

     The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
     and breach of this Lease by Lessee:

     (a)   A failure continuing for ten (10) days after notice to Tenant to pay,
           when due, any installment of Minimum Annual Rent or Additional Rent
           hereunder or any such other sum herein required to be paid by Lessee,
           provided, however, such notice of default shall not be required more
           than twice in any calendar year.

     (b)   A failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other provisions or
           covenants of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, where
           such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice
           thereof from Lessor to Lessee provided, however, that if the nature
           of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured
           within such thirty (30) day period, Lessee shall not be
<PAGE>

                                      23


           deemed to be in default if within such period Lessee shall commence
           such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion
           within sixty (60) days.

     (c)   The making by Lessee of any assignment for the benefit of creditors;
           the adjudication that Lessee is bankrupt, insolvent, or unable to pay
           its debts; the filing by or against Lessee of a petition to have
           Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or
           arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case
           of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within
           sixty (60) days after the filing thereof); the appointment of a
           trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
           Lessee's assets located in the Premises or of Lessee's interest in
           this Lease (unless possession is restored to Lessee within thirty
           (30) days after such appointment); or the attachment, execution or
           levy against, or other judicial seizure of, substantially all of
           Lessee's assets located in the Premises or of Lessee's interest in
           this Lease (unless the same is discharged within thirty (30) days
           after issuance thereof).

22.  REMEDIES.
     --------

     Upon the occurrence of any such event of default set forth above:

     (a)   Lessor may perform for the account of Lessee any such default of
           Lessee and immediately recover as additional rent any expenditures
           made and the amount of any obligations incurred in connection
           therewith plus interest of five (5%) percent per annum above the
           national prime rate of interest announced by BankBoston, N.A. for
           such expenditures from the date of any such expenditure;

     (b)   Lessor may accelerate all rent and additional rent due for the
           balance of the term of this Lease and declare the same to be
           immediately due and payable;

     (c)   In determining the amount of any future payments due Lessor, due to
           increases in Operating Expenses, Lessor may make such determination
           based upon the amount of Operating Expenses paid by Lessee for the
           full year immediately prior to such default;
<PAGE>

                                      24


     (d)   Lessor, at its option, may serve notice upon Lessee that this Lease
           and the then unexpired term hereof shall cease and expire and become
           absolutely void in the manner provided by law; and thereupon this
           Lease and the term hereof granted, as well as the right, title and
           interest of the Lessee hereunder, shall wholly cease and expire and
           become void in the same manner and with the same force and effect
           (except as to Lessee's liability) as if the date fixed in such notice
           were the date herein granted for expiration of the term of this
           Lease. Thereupon, Lessee shall immediately quit and surrender to
           Lessor the Premises, and Lessor may enter into and repossess the
           Premises by summary proceedings, and remove all occupants thereof
           and, at Lessor's option, any property thereon without being liable to
           indictment, prosecution or damages therefor. No such expiration or
           termination of this Lease shall relieve Lessee of its liability and
           obligations under this Lease, whether or not the Premises shall be
           relet;

      (e)  In case of any such termination, Lessee will indemnify Lessor each
           month against all loss of rent and all obligation which Lessor may
           incur by reason of any such termination between the time of
           termination and the expiration of the term of the Lease; or at the
           election of Lessor, exercised at the time of the termination or at
           any time thereafter, Lessee will indemnify Lessor each month until
           the exercise of the election against all loss of rent and other
           obligations which Lessor may incur by reason of such termination
           during the period between the time of the termination and the
           exercise of the election, and upon the exercise of the election
           Lessee will pay to the Lessor as damages such amount as at the time
           of the exercise of the election represents the amount by which the
           rental value of the Premises for the period from the exercise of the
           election until the expiration of the term shall be less than the
           amount of rent and other payments provided herein to be paid by
           Lessee to Lessor during said period. It is understood and agreed that
           at the time of the termination or at any time thereafter Lessor may
           rent at a fair rental the Premises, and for a term which may expire
           after the expiration of the term of this Lease, provided, however,
           that if said premises are rented as aforesaid then the amount of rent
           received in such case shall be applied to reduce Lessee's liability
           for rent under this Lease; that Lessee shall be liable for any
           expenses
<PAGE>

                                      25


           incurred by Lessor in connection with obtaining possession of the
           Premises, with removing from the Premises property of Lessee and
           persons claiming under it (including warehouse charges), with putting
           the Premises into good condition for reletting, and with any
           reletting, including, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
           fees and brokers' fees, and that any monies collected from any
           reletting shall be applied first to the foregoing expenses and then
           to the payment of rent and all other payments due from Lessee to
           Lessor.

     (f)   Lessor may, at any time after the occurrence of any event of default,
           attempt in its own name, as agent for Lessee if this Lease not be
           terminated or in its own behalf if this Lease be terminated, to relet
           all or any part of such Premises for and upon such terms and to such
           persons, firms or corporations and for such period or periods as
           Lessor, in its sole discretion, shall determine, including a term
           beyond the termination of this Lease; and Lessor shall not be
           required to accept any tenant offered by Lessee or observe any
           instruction given by Lessee about such reletting. For the purpose of
           such reletting, Lessor may decorate or make repairs, changes,
           alterations or additions in or to the Premises to the extent deemed
           by Lessor desirable or convenient; and the cost of such decoration,
           repairs, changes, alterations or additions shall be charged to and be
           payable by Lessee as additional rent hereunder, as well as any
           reasonable brokerage and legal fees expended by Lessor; and any sums
           collected by Lessor from any new tenant obtained on account of the
           Lessee shall be credited against the balance of the rent due
           hereunder as aforesaid. Lessee shall pay to Lessor monthly, on the
           days when the rent would have been payable under this Lease, the
           amount due hereunder less the amount obtained by Lessor from such new
           Lessee;

     (g)   The rights and remedies given to Lessor in this Lease are distinct,
           separate and cumulative remedies; and no one of them, whether or not
           exercised by Lessor, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the
           others.

23.  WAIVER.
     ------

     The failure or delay on the part of either party to enforce or exercise at
     any time any of the provisions, rights or remedies in this Lease shall
     in no way be
<PAGE>

                                      26


     construed to be a waiver thereof, nor in any way to affect the validity of
     this Lease or any part hereof, or the right of the party to thereafter
     enforce each and every such provision, right or remedy. No waiver of any
     breach of this Lease shall be held to be a waiver of any other or
     subsequent breach. The receipt by Lessor of rent at a time when the rent is
     in default under this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of such
     default. The receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the rent due shall
     not be construed to be other than a payment on account of the rent then
     due, nor shall any statement on Lessee's check or any letter accompanying
     Lessee's check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept
     such payment without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover the balance of
     the rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this Lease. No act
     or thing done by Lessor or Lessor's agents or employees during the term of
     this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises,
     and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in
     writing and signed by Lessor.

24.  QUIET ENJOYMENT.
     ---------------

     If and so long as Lessee pays the rent reserved hereunder and observes and
     performs all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Lessee's part
     to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall and may peaceably and
     quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the entire term hereof,
     subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

25.  UNFORESEEN DELAY.
     ----------------

     The provisions of this Section shall be applicable if there shall occur,
     during the term hereof or Lessee shall be unable to perform its obligations
     under this Lease (except for its obligations to pay rent and to maintain
     insurance), or any renewal or extension thereof, any strike, lockout, or
     labor dispute; inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable
     substitutes therefor; inability or difficulty in obtaining fuel,
     electricity, services or supplies from the sources from which they are
     normally obtained; or act of God, governmental restriction, regulation, or
     control, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion,
     insurrection, revolution, sabotage, or fire or other casualty or any other
     condition or cause beyond the reasonable control of the Lessor. If the
     Lessor shall, as the result of such event, fail punctually to perform any
     obligation required in
<PAGE>

                                      27


     Sections 7, 11, 14, 17 and 19 hereof, then such obligation shall be
     punctually performed as soon as practicable after such event shall abate.
     If the Lessor shall, as a result of such event, be unable to exercise any
     right or option within any time limit provided therefor in this Lease, such
     time limit shall be deemed extended for a period equal to the duration of
     such event.

26.  SUCCESSORS.
     ----------

     The respective rights and obligations provided in this Lease shall bind and
     shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their legal
     representatives, heirs, successors and assigns; provided, however, that no
     rights shall inure to the benefit of any successor of Lessee unless
     Lessor's written consent for the transfer to such successor has first been
     obtained as provided in Section 12.

27.  GOVERNING LAW.
     -------------

     This Lease shall be construed, governed and enforced in accordance with the
     laws of the State of Connecticut.

28.  SEPARABILITY.
     ------------

     If any provisions of this Lease shall be held to be invalid, void or
     unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall in no way be affected
     or impaired and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and
     effect.

29.  HOLDING OVER.
     ------------

     If the Lessee retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after
     the termination of the term, the Lessee shall pay the Lessor rent at one
     hundred fifty (150%) percent the monthly rate specified in Section 4 for
     the time the Lessee thus remains in possession and, in addition thereto,
     shall pay the Lessor for all damages, consequential as well as direct,
     sustained by reason of the Lessee's retention of possession. The provisions
     of this Section do not exclude the Lessor's rights to summary process or
     any other right hereunder. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless
     from and against any and all loss or liability resulting from the failure
     of Lessee to surrender possession of the Premises in accordance with the
     terms and conditions of this Lease.

30.  CAPTIONS.
     --------

     Marginal captions, titles or exhibits and the table of contents to this
     Lease are for convenience and reference only, and are in no way to be
     construed as defining, limiting or modifying the scope of intent of the
     various provisions of this Lease.

31.  NOTICES.
     -------

     All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be deemed sufficiently
     given if sent by (a) certified mail return receipt requested; (b) by
     recognized delivery service, such as Federal Express; or (c) sent by
     facsimile and confirmed by notice given either by mail or delivery service

                            FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE
                            ------------------------



     This First Amendment to Lease is entered into as of November 18, 1997,
between LAMBERTON LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation (hereafter
"Lessor") and SS&C TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Lessee").

                             Preliminary Statement
                             ---------------------

     Monarch Life Insurance Company and Lessee entered into a Lease dated
September 23, 1997 (the "Lease") regarding certain property located at 80
Lamberton Road, Windsor, Connecticut.  The Lessor's interest in the Lease has
been assigned to the Lessor in conjunction with Lessor's acquisition of the

forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of ONE AND 00/100 ($1.00) DOLLAR and other
valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is agreed
as follows:

     1.   All capitalized terms set forth herein shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Lease unless a contrary intent is expressed herein.

     2.   Section 2.(a) is herewith deleted in its entirety and in its place and
stead the following is inserted:

          "2.  PREMISES.
               --------

               (a) Lessor hereby leases to Lessee premises in the building
     known and numbered as 80 Lamberton Road, Windsor, Connecticut,

     (BOMA Standard Method of Floor Measurement) on the first (1st) and second
     (2nd) floors and in the "highbay" space of the Building (as shown on
     Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof) together with the right
     ---------
     in common with others to use the common areas and common facilities from
     time to time so designated and maintained by Lessor (the "Premises").
     Lessor excepts and reserves to itself from the demise of the Premises (i)
     the exterior faces of all exterior walls, windows and doors and of all
     walls, windows and doors facing common areas; (ii) hallways, stairways,
     shaftways, service rooms, common toilets, and elevators serving other parts
     of the

     Building; (iii) the right to maintain, use, repair, and replace pipes,
     ducts, wires, meters, and any other equipment, machinery, apparatus, and
     fixtures located within or without the Premises which service other parts
     of the Building; (iv) the right to make changes, alterations, and additions
     to the Building, common areas, and common facilities provided the same does
     not unreasonably interfere with access to the Premises nor materially
     diminish their aesthetic quality or reduce the quality of service to the
     Premises or the Building; and (v) the right to enter the Premises in
     accordance with the provisions of Section 13 hereof for any of the
     foregoing purposes."

     3.   Section 4.(a), subsections (i) and (ii) are herewith deleted in their
entirety and in their place and stead the following are inserted:

          "4.  MINIMUM ANNUAL RENT.

               (a) Initial Term.  Lessee shall pay to Lessor at its office as
                   ------------
     Minimum Annual Rent, the following:

                   (i)  For each of the first (1st) five (5) Lease Years,
     Minimum Annual Rent shall be paid in the amount of SEVEN HUNDRED SIXTEEN
     THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SIX AND 50/100 ($716,586.50) DOLLARS, payable
     in monthly installments in advance in the amount of FIFTY-NINE THOUSAND
     SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTEEN AND 54/100 ($59,715.54) DOLLARS; and

                   (ii) For each of the second (2nd) five (5) Lease Years,
     Minimum Annual Rent shall be paid in the amount of SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY-
     SEVEN THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT AND 00/100 ($757,148.00) DOLLARS,
     payable in monthly installments in advance in the amount of SIXTY-THREE
     THOUSAND NINETY-FIVE AND 67/100 ($63,095.67) DOLLARS.

                   Each of such installments shall be payable on the first (1st)

     event the term of this Lease commences on a day other than the first day of
     a calendar month, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor, on or before the
     Commencement Date, a pro rata portion of the monthly installment of rent,
     such pro rata portion to be based on the number of days remaining in such
     partial month after the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing
     Lessee's obligation to pay Minimum Annual Rent shall not commence until the
     first (1st) month following the Commencement Date. Upon execution hereof,
     Lessee has paid Lessor the sum of FIFTY-NINE THOUSAND SEVEN

     hereby reserved as and when due, and also all sums of money, charges or
     other amounts required to be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor or to another
     person under this Lease which shall be "rent" in addition to the rent
     provided for herein. Nonpayment of additional rent when due shall
     constitute a default under this Lease to the same extent, and shall entitle
     the Lessor to the same remedies, as nonpayment of rent."

     4.   Section 5.(a) is herewith deleted in its entirety and in its place and
stead the following is inserted:

          "5.  RENT ESCALATION.

     of generally accepted accounting principles and practices, and Lessor's

     for review upon request by Lessee.  Lessor will send to Lessee, in the
     manner of a written notice hereunder, an invoice setting forth the amount
     due."

     5.   Section 7.(a) is herewith amended by deleting the following clause
which appears in the fourth (4th) and fifth (5th) lines thereof: "Within thirty
