     Situate in the Northwest quarter of Section 5, Township 24 North, Range 4
     East of the Willamette Meridian, in the City of Seattle, King County,
     Washington.

3. COMMENCEMENT AND EXPIRATION DATES:

(a)  Commencement Date:

     Landlord and Tenant shall use their best efforts to complete tenant
improvements in the Premises in accordance with Exhibit B hereto on the date
specified in Section l(f) or as soon thereafter as practicable.  The
Commencement Date shall be the date specified in Section 1(f).

(b)  Delays:

     In the event, due to delays from any cause other than Tenant's failure to
comply with the terms of this Lease, the Premises are not available for
occupancy by Tenant within three (3) months following the date specified in
Section 1(f), Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord
given within ten (10) days of said date; provided, however, (i) such three-month
period shall be extended for delays due to causes beyond the reasonable control
of Landlord; and (ii) Tenant has complied with the Work Schedule of Exhibit B on
dates for line items designated "Prepare TI Construction Documents" and
"Approval of TI Construction Documents."  Termination under this Section 3(b)
shall be Tenant's sole remedy and Tenant shall have no other rights or claims
hereunder at law or in equity.  Landlord shall also have the right to terminate
this Lease within the same time frame provided to Tenant above, so long as the
delay is not caused by Landlord; provided, however, such three-month period
shall be extended for delays due to causes beyond the reasonable control of
Landlord.  In any event, this Lease shall terminate if the Premises are not
available for occupancy by Tenant within two (2) years from the date hereof.

(c)  Confirmation of Commencement Date:

     In the event the Commencement Date is established as a later or earlier
date than the date provided in Section l(f) hereof, Landlord shall confirm the
same to Tenant in writing.

(d)  Expiration Date:

     This Lease shall expire on the date specified in Section l(g).

4. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES:

     If this Lease shall be entered into prior to the completion of tenant
improvements in the Premises, the acceptance of the Premises by Tenant shall be
deferred until the giving of written notice by Landlord to Tenant of the
completion of such construction.  Within five (5) business days ("Inspection
Period") after Landlord gives such notice, Tenant shall make such inspection of
the Premises as Tenant deems appropriate.  At Landlord's or Tenant's request,
Landlord's representative shall accompany Tenant in making Tenant's inspection.
Except as otherwise specified by Tenant in writing to Landlord within seventy-
two hours after the close of the Inspection Period, and except for latent
defects not reasonably observable by Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to have
accepted the Premises at the end of the Inspection Period.  If, as a result of
such inspection, Tenant discovers minor deviations or variations from the plans
and specifications for Tenant's improvements which do not materially affect
Tenant's use of the Premises and are of a nature commonly found on a "punch
list" (as that term is used in the construction industry), Tenant shall, during
the Inspection Period, notify Landlord in writing of such deviations.  Landlord
shall promptly repair all punch list items.  The existence of such punch list
items shall not postpone the Commencement Date of this Lease nor the obligation
of Tenant to pay Rent.

                                      -3-

such other place as Landlord may hereafter from time to time designate in

nonpayment thereof, Landlord shall have all remedies provided for in the case of
nonpayment of Rent.

Landlord the Security Deposit as specified in Section l(i) hereof, receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged.  Landlord may apply all or any part of the
Security Deposit to the payment of any sum in default or any other sum which
Landlord may in its reasonable discretion deem necessary to spend or incur by
reason of Tenant's default.  In such event, Tenant shall, within five (5) days
of written demand therefore by Landlord, deposit with Landlord the amount so
applied.  The amount of the Security Deposit then held by Landlord shall be
repaid to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease.  Landlord shall not be required to keep any Security
Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to any
interest thereon.

reasonable rules and regulations of the parking operator, or the city of Seattle

Tenant.

8. USES:

     The Premises are to be used only for the purposes specified in Section 1(q)
hereof ("Permitted Uses"), and for no other business or purpose without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld if Landlord, in
its sole discretion, determines that any proposed use is inconsistent with or
detrimental to the maintenance and operation of the Building as a first-class
office building or is inconsistent with any restriction on use of the Premises,
the Building, or the Land contained in any lease, mortgage, or other instrument
or agreement by which the Landlord is bound or to which any of such property is
subject.  Tenant shall not commit any act that will increase the then existing
cost of insurance on the Building without Landlord's consent.  Tenant shall
promptly pay upon demand the amount of any increase in insurance costs caused by
any act or acts of Tenant.  Tenant shall not commit or allow to be committed any
waste upon the Premises, or any public or private nuisance or other act which
disturbs the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Building or which is
unlawful.  Tenant shall not, without the written consent of Landlord, use any
apparatus, machinery or device in or about the Premises which will cause any
substantial noise, vibration or fumes.   Tenant shall not permit smoking in the
Premises; Landlord has designated all internal portions of the Building as a
smoke-free zone.  If any of Tenant's office machines or equipment should disturb
the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Building, then Tenant shall
provide adequate insulation, or take other action as may be necessary to
eliminate the disturbance.  Tenant shall comply with all laws relating to its
use or occupancy of the Premises and shall observe such reasonable rules and
regulations (not inconsistent with the terms of this Lease) as may be adopted
and made available to Tenant by Landlord from time to time for the safety, care
and cleanliness of the Premises or the Building, and for the preservation of
good order therein.

any cause whatsoever.  No temporary interruption or failure of such services or
facilities incident to the making of repairs, alterations, or improvements, or
due to accident, strike or conditions or events beyond Landlord's reasonable
control shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from any of
Tenant's obligations hereunder; provided, however, if such interruption or
failure shall continue for five (5) business days, Tenant's Rent hereunder shall
thereafter abate to the extent the Premises are thereby rendered untenantable

Tenant's use of the Premises arising from any interruption or failure of such
services or facilities.

(d)  Additional Services:

Rent within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such statement. If the actual
Operating Costs in excess of the Base Amount are less than the amount paid by
Tenant to Landlord, then the amount of such overpayment by Tenant shall be, at
Landlord's option, credited against any amounts owed by Tenant under this Lease,
refunded by check to Tenant, or credited against the next Rent payable by Tenant
hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, Tenant shall
not receive any credit or offset against any other amount payable under this
Lease to the extent either actual Operating Costs are less than the applicable
Base Amount.

     Taxes:

     Within ninety (90) days after the end of each year, or as soon thereafter
as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement setting
forth Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the actual Taxes during the preceding year. If
the actual Taxes exceed the estimate paid by Tenant during the year, Tenant
shall pay the amount of such excess to Landlord as Additional Rent within forty-
five (45) days after receipt of such statement. If the actual Taxes are less
than the amount paid by Tenant to Landlord, then the amount of such overpayment
by Tenant shall be, at Landlord's option, credited against any amounts owed by
Tenant under the Lease, refunded by check to Tenant, or credited against the
next Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease.

(e)  Records and Adjustments:

   Landlord shall keep records showing all expenditures made in connection with
Operating Costs and Taxes, and such records shall be available for inspection by
Tenant for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the
statement of actual costs ("Record Review Period"); Landlord and Tenant agree
the results of any such audit or review shall remain confidential.  Tenant
hereby waives any right to any adjustment of sums paid under this Section 10
unless a claim in writing specifying the reasons therefor is delivered to
Landlord no later than sixty (60)

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

days after the Record Review Period for the year for which the sums were paid.
Operating Costs and Taxes shall be prorated for any portion of a year at the
beginning or end of the term of this Lease.  Notwithstanding this Section 10,
the Rent payable by Tenant shall in no event be less than the Rent specified in
Section 1(h) hereof.

(f)  Personal Property Taxes:

     Tenant shall pay all personal property taxes with respect to property of
Tenant located on the Premises or in the Building.  "Property of Tenant" shall
include all improvements which are paid for by Tenant and "personal property
taxes" shall include all property taxes assessed against the property of Tenant,
whether assessed as real or personal property.

11.  CARE OF PREMISES:

     Landlord shall perform all normal maintenance and repairs reasonably
determined by Landlord as necessary to maintain the Premises and the Building as
a first-class office building; provided that Landlord shall not be required to
maintain or repair any property of Tenant or any appliances (such as
refrigerators, water heaters, microwave ovens, and the like) which are part of
the Premises.  Tenant shall take good care of the Premises.  Tenant shall not
make any alterations, additions or improvements ("Alterations") in or to the
Premises, or make changes to locks on doors, or add, disturb or in any way
change any plumbing or wiring ("Changes") without first obtaining the written
consent of Landlord and, where appropriate, in accordance with plans and
specifications reasonably approved by Landlord.  As a condition to its approval
imposed at the time such approval is given, Landlord may require Tenant to
remove such Alterations or Changes upon the expiration or earlier termination of
the Term and to restore the Premises to the condition they were in prior to such
Alterations or Changes, including restoring any damage resulting from such
removal, all at Tenant's Expense; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be
required to remove Tenant's initial Tenant Improvements made pursuant to Exhibit
B.  Any Alterations or Changes required to be made to Tenant's Premises by any
amendment to any applicable building, health, safety, fire, nondiscrimination,
or similar law or regulation ("law"), or any new law shall be made at Tenant's
sole expense and shall be subject to the prior written consent of Landlord;
provided, however, any such alterations or changes that constitute a Capital
Cost that may be included in Operating Costs pursuant to Section 10(b)(ii) above
shall not be Tenant's sole expense, but shall be included in Operating Costs.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable sums expended for examination
and approval of the architectural and mechanical plans and specifications of the
Alterations and Changes and direct costs reasonably incurred during any
inspection or supervision of the Alterations or Changes.  All damage or injury
done to the Premises or Building by Tenant or by any persons who may be in or
upon the Premises or (with respect to damage to the Building) by Tenant
officers, employees, contractors, agents, invitees or licensees, including but
not limited to the cracking or breaking of any glass of windows and doors, shall
be paid for by Tenant.  Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to the extent
reasonably possible to schedule janitorial service to the Premises between the
hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

12.  ACCESS:

     Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter into and upon the
Premises upon prior notice that is reasonable under the circumstances and
(except in case of an emergency) during Normal Business Hours and a
representative of Tenant has right to accompany Landlord (as a condition of such
entry) for the purpose of inspecting the same or for the purpose of cleaning,
repairing, altering or improving the Premises or the Building.  Upon reasonable
notice, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises for the purpose of
showing the Premises to prospective tenants within the period of one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease
term.

13.  DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION:

(a)  Damage and Repair:

     If the Building is damaged by fire or any other cause to such extent that
the cost of restoration, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, will equal or
exceed thirty percent (30%) of the replacement value of the Building (exclusive
of foundations) just prior to the occurrence of the damage, or if insurance
proceeds sufficient for restoration are for any reason unavailable and the cost
to repair estimated by Landlord is over $100,000, then Landlord may no later
than the sixtieth

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

day following the damage, give Tenant a notice of election to terminate this
Lease. If the Premises are substantially damaged, and if they cannot be
substantially repaired within 180 days as estimated by Landlord, Tenant or
Landlord has the right to cancel this Lease by giving notice within thirty (30)
days of the damage. In the event of such election, this Lease shall be deemed to
terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after the giving of said notice, and
Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises within a reasonable time
thereafter, and the Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of the date
of said surrender and any Rent and Additional Rent paid for any period beyond
such date shall be repaid to Tenant. If the cost of restoration as estimated by
Landlord shall amount to less than thirty percent (30%) of said replacement
value of the Building, and insurance proceeds sufficient for restoration are
available, or if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall
restore the Building and the Premises (to the extent of improvements to the
Premises originally provided by Landlord hereunder) with reasonable promptness,
subject to delays beyond Landlord's control and delays in the making of
insurance adjustments by Landlord, and Tenant shall have no right to terminate
this Lease except as herein provided. To the extent that the Premises are
rendered untenantable, the Rent and Additional Rent shall proportionately abate,
only to the extent such abatement is of the type covered by a standard policy of
rental loss insurance to compensate Landlord for such loss. No damages,
compensation or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of
business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of
the Premises or of the Building. Landlord shall use its best efforts to effect
such repairs promptly.

(b)  Desctruction During Renovation of Building:

     Landlord warrants that the Building is fully covered by Builder's Risk
insurance and this coverage will be maintained throughout the renovation of the
Building.

(c)  Destruction During Last Year of Term:

     In case the Building shall be substantially destroyed by fire or other
cause at any time during the last twelve months of the term of this Lease,
either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease upon written notice to the
other party hereto given within sixty (60) days of the date of such destruction.

(d)  Tenant Improvements:

     Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on any improvements paid for
by Tenant as provided in Exhibit B or on Tenant's furniture or furnishings or on
any fixtures, equipment, improvements or appurtenances of Tenant under this
Lease and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or
replace the same.

14.  WAIVER OF SUBROGATION:

     Whether a loss or damage is due to the negligence of either Landlord or
Tenant, their agents or employees, or any other cause, Landlord and Tenant do
each hereby release and relieve the other, their agents or employees, from
responsibility for, and waive their entire claim of recovery (by way of
subrogation or otherwise) for (i) any loss or damage to the real or personal
property of either, or of any third party, located anywhere in the Building or
on the Land, including the Building itself, arising out of or incident to the
occurrence of any of the perils which would be covered by a fire and extended
coverage (all risk) policy of insurance, and (ii) any loss resulting from
business interruption at the Premises or loss of rental income from the
Building, arising out of or incident to the occurrence of any of the perils
which are of the type covered by a standard business interruption insurance
policy or loss of rental income insurance policy. Each party shall use best
efforts to cause its insurance carriers to consent to the foregoing waiver of
rights of subrogation against the other party.

15.  INDEMNIFICATION:

     (a) Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against
liabilities, damages, losses, claims, and expenses, including attorneys fees,
arising from any act, omission, or negligence of Tenant or its officers,
contractors, licensees, agents, employees, clients or customers in or about the
Building or Premises or arising from any breach or default under this Lease by
Tenant.  The foregoing provisions shall not be construed to make Tenant
responsible for loss, damage, liability or expense resulting from injuries to
third parties caused by the negligence of

                                     -10-
<PAGE>

Landlord, or its officers, contractors, licensees, agents, employees, clients or
customers or other tenants of the Building.

     (b) Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against all
liabilities, damages, losses, claims, and expenses, including attorneys' fees
arising from any act, omission, or negligence of Landlord or its officers,
contractors, licensees, agents, employees, clients, or customers in or about the
Building or Premises, or arising from any breach or default under this Lease by
Landlord. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, Landlord shall not be
liable for any loss or damage to persons or property sustained by Tenant or
other persons, which may be caused by theft, or by any act or neglect of Tenant
or any other tenant or occupant of the Building or any third parties. Except as
provided in the foregoing sentence, in no event shall Landlord be liable to
Tenant for any damage to the Premises or for any loss, damage or injury to any
property therein or thereon occasioned by bursting, rupture, leakage or overflow
of any plumbing or other pipes (including, without limitation, water, steam
and/or refrigerant lines), sprinklers, tanks, drains, drinking fountains or
washstands or other similar cause in, above, upon or about the Premises or the
Building.

16.  INSURANCE:

(a)  Liability Insurance:

     Tenant shall, throughout the term of this Lease and any renewal hereof, at
its own expense, keep and maintain in full force and effect, a policy of
commercial general liability (occurrence form) insurance, including contractual
liability insuring Tenant's activities upon, in or about the Premises or the
Building against claims of bodily injury or death or property damage or loss
with a combined single limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the aggregate. Landlord
and the Building manager shall be named as an additional insureds.

(b)  Property Insurance:

     Tenant shall, throughout the term of this Lease and any renewal thereof, at
its own expense, keep and maintain in full force and effect, what is commonly
referred to as "All Risk" or "Special" coverage insurance (excluding earthquake
and flood) on Tenant's Leasehold Improvements in an amount not less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value thereof.  As used in this Lease,
"Tenant's Leasehold Improvements" shall mean any alterations, additions or
improvements installed in or about the Premises by or with Landlord's permission
or otherwise permitted by this Lease, whether or not the cost thereof was paid
for by Tenant.

(c)  Insurance Policy Requirements:

     All insurance required under this Section 16 shall be with companies rated
AV or better by A.M. Best or otherwise reasonably approved by Landlord. No
insurance policy required under this Section 16 shall be cancelled or reduced in
coverage except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, except
after ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord in the case of non-payment
of premium.

(d)  Certificate of Insurance:

     Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date, and from
time to time thereafter, copies of policies of such insurance or certificates
evidencing the existence and amounts of same and evidencing Landlord and the
Building manager as additional insureds thereunder. In no event shall the limits
of any insurance policy required under this Section 16 be considered as limiting
the liability of Tenant under this Lease.

(e)  Primary Policies:

   All policies required under Section 16(a) shall be written as primary
policies and not contributing to or in excess of any coverage Landlord may
choose to maintain.

17.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING:

(a)  Assignment or Sublease:

                                     -11-
<PAGE>

     Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, encumber or otherwise transfer this
Lease nor sublet the whole or any part of the Premises without in each case
first obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, such consent is not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed except: (1) Landlord may withhold
its consent if (i) in Landlord's judgment the nature of the proposed occupant,
its business, experience or reputation in the community is not consistent with
the maintenance or operation of a first-class office building, or (ii) the
nature of the proposed occupant or its business is likely to cause disturbance
to the normal use and occupancy of the Building; (2) Landlord may withhold in
its absolute and sole discretion consent to any mortgage, hypothecation, pledge,
or other encumbrance of any interest in this Lease or the Premises by Tenant or
any subtenant; (3) Landlord may withhold its consent to the extent it deems
necessary to comply with any restriction on use of the Premises, the Building,
or the Land contained in any applicable laws or in any lease, mortgage, or other
agreement or instrument by which the Landlord is bound or to which any of such
property is subject; provided, however, that Landlord shall provide to Tenant a
complete and accurate copy of the applicable portions of such agreement or
instrument.

     No such assignment, subletting or other transfer shall relieve Tenant of
any liability under this Lease. Consent to any such assignment, subletting or
transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to any
subsequent assignment, subletting or transfer. No subtenant may assign its
sublease without Landlord's consent. Each request for an assignment or
subletting must be accompanied by a Processing Fee of $500 in order to reimburse
Landlord for expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred in connection with
such request ("Processing Fee"). Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of
all assignments, subleases and assumption instruments.

     Tenant may without Landlord's prior consent assign this Lease, in whole or
in part, and may lease all or any part of the Premises, to (a) a parent or
subsidiary of Tenant, the entity with which or into which Tenant may merge
(whether or not Tenant is the survivor of that merger), an entity that is
controlled by, controls or is under common control with Tenant, or an entity
which acquires all of Tenant's assets; (b) so long as Tenant (as assignor or
sublessor) is and remains principally and primarily liable for the obligations
of Tenant under this Lease, and any assignee expressly assumes Tenant's
obligations under this Lease by a written assignment provided to Landlord.

     For purposes of this Section 17, the term "control" means the possession,
direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of a person or entity, or majority ownership of any
sort, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise.

(b)  Tenant Transfer of Lease:

     Except as to assignments, subleases or other transfers not requiring
Landlord's consent as set forth above, if a Tenant is a corporation,
partnership, or any other entity, any transfer of this Lease by merger,
consolidation or liquidation, or any change in the ownership of or power to vote
a majority of its outstanding voting stock, partnership interests, or other
ownership interests, shall constitute an assignment for the purpose of this
Section, except this provision shall not apply to publicly traded stock.  If
Tenant is a partnership, conversion of Tenant to a limited liability company or
partnership or to a corporation (or to another entity by which the parties in
Tenant would be relieved of liability to any creditors of Tenant) shall
constitute an assignment for purposes of this Section.  An assignment or
sublease to an affiliate or subsidiary of tenant shall not constitute a
transfer.

(d)  Assignee Obligations:

     As a condition to Landlord's approval, any potential assignee otherwise
approved by Landlord shall assume in writing all obligations of Tenant under
this Lease and shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for rental and
other payments and performance of all terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease.

(e)  Sublessee Obligations:

     Any sublessee shall assume all obligations of Tenant as to that portion of
the Premises which is subleased and shall be jointly and severally liable with
Tenant for rental and other payments and performance of all terms, covenants,
and conditions of this Lease with respect to such portion of the Premises.

                                     -12-
<PAGE>

18.  SIGNS:

     Tenant shall not place or in any manner display any sign, graphics, or
other advertising matter anywhere in or about the Premises or the Building at
places visible (either directly or indirectly) from anywhere outside the
Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written consent thereto, such
consent to be at Landlord's sole discretion. Any such consent by Landlord shall
be upon the understanding and condition that Tenant shall remove the same at the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and Tenant shall repair any
damage to the Premises or the Building caused thereby. Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to normal Tenant signage within the Premises
which is consistent in Landlord's opinion with the Building's image and signage
and graphics program. Signage other than Building directory or building standard
elevator lobby directory signage is at Tenant's sole expense.

19.  LIENS AND INSOLVENCY:

(a)  Liens:

     Tenant shall keep its interest in this Lease, the Premises, the Land and
the Building free from any liens arising out of any work performed and materials
ordered or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant and hereby indemnifies
and holds Landlord harmless from any liability from any such lien, including
without limitation liens arising from the work performed pursuant to Section IV
of Exhibit B hereto. In the event any lien is filed against the Building, the
Land or the Premises by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, Tenant
shall, upon request of Landlord and at Tenant's expense, immediately cause such
lien to be released of record or furnish to Landlord a bond, in form and amount
and issued by a surety reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying
Landlord, the Land and the Building against all liability, costs and expenses,
including attorneys fees, which Landlord may incur as a result thereof. Provided
that such bond has been furnished to Landlord, Tenant, at its sole cost and
expense and after written notice to Landlord, may contest, by appropriate
proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, any lien,
encumbrance or charge against the Premises arising from work done or materials
provided to or for Tenant, if, and only if, such proceedings suspend the
collection thereof against Landlord, Tenant and the Premises and neither the
Premises, the Building nor the Land nor any part thereof or interest therein is
or will be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost.

(b)  Insolvency:

     If Tenant becomes insolvent or voluntarily or involuntarily bankrupt, or if
a receiver, assignee or other liquidating officer is appointed for the business
of Tenant, Landlord at its option may terminate this Lease and Tenant's right of
possession under this Lease and in no event shall this Lease or any rights or
privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant in any bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization proceeding.

20.  DEFAULT:

(a)  Cumulative Remedies:

     All rights of Landlord herein enumerated shall be cumulative, and none
shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law. In addition to the other
remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to restrain by
injunction the violation or threatened violation of any of the covenants,
agreements or conditions of this Lease.

(b)  Tenant's Right to Cure:

     Tenant shall have a period of three (3) business days from the date of
written notice from Landlord to Tenant within which to cure any default in the
payment of Rent, Additional Rent and other sums due hereunder. Tenant shall have
a period of twenty (20) days from the date of written notice from Landlord to
Tenant within which to cure any other default hereunder; provided, however, that
with respect to any such default capable of being cured by Tenant which cannot
be cured within twenty (20) days, the default shall not be deemed to be uncured
if Tenant commences to cure within twenty (20) days and for so long as Tenant is
diligently pursuing the cure thereof.

(c)  Abandonment:

                                     -13-
<PAGE>

     Abandonment shall be defined as an absence from the Premises of five (5)
days or more while Tenant is in default or Landlord otherwise reasonably
determines that Tenant has abandoned the Premises and its interest under this
Lease. Any abandonment by Tenant shall be considered a default with no right to
cure, allowing Landlord to re-enter the Premises as hereinafter set forth.

(d)  Landlord's Reentry:

     Upon abandonment or an uncured default of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord,
in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have, at its option, may
enter the Premises or any part thereof, and expel, remove or put out Tenant or
any other persons who may be thereon, together with all personal property found
therein; and Landlord may terminate this Lease, or it may from time to time,
without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such
term or terms (which may be for a term less than or extending beyond the term
hereof) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions
as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to repair,
renovate, remodel, redecorate, alter and change the Premises, Tenant remaining
liable for any deficiency computed as hereinafter set forth. In the case of any
default, reentry and/or dispossession all Rent and Additional Rent shall become
due thereupon, together with such expenses as Landlord may reasonably incur for
attorneys fees, advertising expenses, brokerage fees and/or putting the Premises
in good order or preparing the same for re-rental, together with interest
thereon as provided in Section 37(f) hereof, accruing from the date of any such
expenditure by Landlord. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises
shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease
unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant.

(e)  Reletting the Premises:

     At the option of Landlord, rents received by Landlord from such reletting
shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness from Tenant to
Landlord other than Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder; second, to the
payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting and including, but not
limited to, attorneys fees, advertising fees and brokerage fees, and to the
payment of any repairs, renovations, remodeling, redecoration, alterations and
changes in the Premises; third, to the payment of Rent and Additional Rent due
and to become due hereunder, and, if after so applying said Rents there is any
deficiency in the Rent or Additional Rent to be paid by Tenant under this Lease,
Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord monthly on the dates specified
herein.  Any payment made or suits brought to collect the amount of the
deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to
collect the deficiency for any subsequent month.  The failure of Landlord to
relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect
Tenant's liability hereunder, nor shall Landlord be liable for failure to relet,
or in the event of reletting, for failure to collect the Rent thereof, and in no
event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of net Rents collected over
sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.  Notwithstanding any such
reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time elect to terminate this
Lease for such previous breach and default.  Should Landlord terminate this
Lease by reason of any default, in addition to any other remedy it may have, it
may recover from Tenant the then present value of Rent and Additional Rent
reserved in this Lease for the balance of the Term, as it may have been
extended, over the then fair market rental value of the Premises for the same
period, plus all court costs and attorneys fees incurred by Landlord in the
collection of the same.

(f)  Trade Fixtures:

     Tenant shall have no right to, and Tenant agrees that it will not, remove
any trade fixtures or movable furniture from the Premises (without comparable
replacements) at any time while Tenant is in default hereunder.

21.  PRIORITY:

     (a) This Lease shall be subordinate to any first mortgage or deed of trust
(and any other mortgage or deed of trust upon the written election of Landlord)
now existing or hereafter placed upon the Land, the Building or the Premises,
created by or at the instance of Landlord, and to any and all advances to be
made thereunder and to interest thereon and all modifications, renewals and
replacements or extensions thereof ("Landlord's Mortgage"); provided, however,
that notwithstanding any such subordination, as long as Tenant performs its
obligations under this Lease, no foreclosure of, deed given in lieu of
foreclosure of, or sale under, any mortgage or deed

                                     -14-
<PAGE>

of trust, and no steps or procedures taken under such mortgage or deed of trust,
shall affect Tenant's rights under this Lease or disturb Tenant's peaceful
possession of the Premises.

     (b) Upon request Tenant shall attorn to the Holder of any Landlord's
Mortgage or any person or persons purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Land,
Building or Premises at any sale or other proceeding under any Landlord's
Mortgage. Tenant shall properly execute, acknowledge and deliver instruments
which the holder of any Landlord's Mortgage may reasonably require to effectuate
the provisions of this Section.

22.  SURRENDER OF POSSESSION:

     Subject to the terms of Section 13 relating to damage and destruction, upon
expiration of the term of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise,
Tenant shall promptly and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord in as
good condition as when received by Tenant from Landlord or as thereafter
improved (subject to Tenant's obligation to remove any Alterations or Changes if
requested by Landlord pursuant to Section 11, above), reasonable use and wear
and tear and damage from fire and other casualty not required to be repaired by
Tenant, and from condemnation, excepted.

23.  REMOVAL OF PROPERTY:

     Tenant shall, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
remove all of its movable personal property, telephone, data and computer
cabling, and trade fixtures paid for by Tenant at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, and shall pay Landlord any damages for injury to the
Premises or Building resulting from such removal.  All other improvements and
additions to the Premises shall thereupon become the property of Landlord.

24.  NON-WAIVER:

     Waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any term, covenant or
condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
covenant, or condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other
term, covenant, or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of any
payment hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease,
other than the failure of Tenant to pay the amount so accepted, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such
payment.

25.  HOLDOVER:

     If Tenant shall, with the written consent of Landlord, hold over after the
expiration of the term of this Lease, such tenancy shall be deemed a month-to-
month tenancy, which tenancy may be terminated as provided by applicable law.
During such tenancy, except as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties,
Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the greater of (a) the then quoted rates for
similar space in the Building or (b) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of
the Rent and Additional Rent in effect upon the date of such expiration as
stated herein, and to be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions
herein specified, so far as applicable.  Acceptance by Landlord of Rent and
Additional Rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not result in
a renewal of this Lease.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 25 are in
addition to and do not affect Landlord's right of re-entry or any rights of
Landlord hereunder or as otherwise provided by law.  If Tenant shall hold over
after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease without the written
consent of Landlord, such occupancy shall be deemed an unlawful detainer of the
Premises subject to the applicable laws of the state in which the Building is
located and, in addition, Tenant shall be liable for any costs, damages, losses
and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's failure to surrender
the Premises in accordance with this Lease.

26.  CONDEMNATION:

(a)  Entire Taking:

     If all of the Premises or such portions of the Building as may be required
for the reasonable use of the Premises, are taken by eminent domain, this Lease
shall automatically terminate as of the date title vests in the condemning
authority and all Rent, Additional Rent and other payments shall be paid to that
date.

                                     -15-
<PAGE>

(b)  Constructive Taking of Entire Premises:

     In the event of a taking of a material part of but less than all of the
Building, where Landlord shall reasonably determine that the remaining portions
of the Premises cannot be economically and effectively used by it (whether on
account of physical, economic, aesthetic or other reasons), or if, in the
opinion of Landlord, the Building should be restored in such a way as to alter
the Premises materially, Landlord shall forward a written notice to Tenant of
such determination not more than sixty (60) days after the date of taking.  The
term of this Lease shall expire upon such date as Landlord shall specify in such
notice but not earlier than the taking of possession pursuant to the taking.

(c)  Partial Taking:

     In case of taking of a part of the Premises, or a portion of the Building
not required for the reasonable use of the Premises, then this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect and the Rent shall be equitably reduced based
on the proportion by which the floor area of the Premises is reduced, such Rent
reduction to be effective as of the date title to such portion vests in the
condemning authority. If a portion of the Premises shall be so taken which
renders the remainder of the Premises unsuitable for continued occupancy by
Tenant under this Lease, Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to
Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of such taking and the term of
this Lease shall expire upon such date as Tenant shall specify in such notice
not earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.

(d)  Awards and Damages:

     Landlord reserves all rights to damages to the Premises for any partial,
constructive, or entire taking by eminent domain, and Tenant hereby assigns to
Landlord any right Tenant may have to such damages or award, and Tenant shall
make no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages for
termination of the leasehold interest or interference with Tenant's business.
Tenant shall have the right, however, to claim and recover from the condemning
authority compensation for any loss to which Tenant may be put for Tenant's
moving expenses, business interruption or taking of Tenant's personal property
and leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant (not including Tenant's leasehold
interest) provided that such damages may be claimed only if they are awarded
separately in the eminent domain proceedings and not out of or as part of the
damages recoverable by Landlord.

27.  NOTICES:

     All notices under this Lease shall be in writing and delivered in person or
sent by registered or certified mail, or nationally recognized courier (such as
Federal Express, DHL, etc.), postage prepaid, to Landlord and to Tenant at the
Notice Addresses provided in Section 1(m) and to the holder of any mortgage or
deed of trust at such place as such holder shall specify to Tenant in writing;
or such other addresses as may from time to time be designated by any such party
in writing.  Notices mailed as aforesaid shall be deemed given on the date of
such mailing.

28.  COSTS AND ATTORNEYS FEES:

   If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any action for any relief against the
other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease, including any suit
by Landlord for the recovery of Rent, Additional Rent or other payments
hereunder or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay the
substantially prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys fees in such suit,
at trial and on appeal, and such attorneys fees shall be deemed to have accrued
on the commencement of such action.

29.  LANDLORD'S LIABILITY:

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the
liability of Landlord (and of any successor Landlord hereunder) to Tenant shall
be limited to the interest of the Building, and Tenant agrees to look solely to
Landlord's interest in the Building for the recovery of any judgment or award
against the Landlord, it being intended that neither  Landlord nor any member,
principal, partner, shareholder, officer, director or beneficiary of Landlord
shall be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency.  Tenant hereby
covenants that, prior to the filing of any suit for an alleged default by
Landlord hereunder, it shall give Landlord and all mortgagees whom Tenant has
been notified hold mortgages or deed of trust liens on the Land, Building or
Premises notice and reasonable time to cure such alleged default by Landlord.

30.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES:

     Tenant shall, from time to time, upon written request of Landlord, execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or its designee a written statement prepared
by Landlord stating:  The date this Lease was executed and the date it expires;
the date the term commenced and the date Tenant accepted the Premises; the
amount of minimum monthly Rent and the date to which such Rent has been paid;
and certifying to the extent true:  That this Lease is in full force and effect
and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way (or
specifying the date and terms of agreement so affecting this Lease); that this
Lease represents the entire agreement between the parties as to this leasing;
that all conditions under this Lease to be performed by Landlord have been
satisfied; that all required contributions by Landlord to Tenant on account of
Tenant's improvements have been received; that on this date there are no
existing claims, defenses or offsets which Tenant has against the enforcement of
this Lease by Landlord; that the security deposit is as stated in the Lease; and
such other matters concerning the status of this Lease as Landlord may
reasonably request.  It is intended that any such statement delivered pursuant
to this paragraph may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser of Landlord's
interest or the holder of any mortgage upon Landlord's interest in the Building.
If Tenant shall fail to respond within twenty (20) days of receipt by Tenant of
a written request by Landlord as herein provided, Tenant shall be deemed to have
given such certificate as above provided without modification and shall be
deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to
a prospective purchaser or mortgagee and that this Lease is in full force and
effect, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, that the
security deposit is as stated in the Lease, and that not more than one month's
Rent has been paid in advance.

31.  TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST:

     In the event of any transfers of Landlord's interest in the Premises or in
the Building, other than a transfer for security purposes only, then upon
assumption by the transferee of Landlord's obligations under this Lease, the
transferor shall be automatically relieved of any and all obligations and
liabilities on the part of Landlord accruing from and after the date of such
transfer and such transferee shall have no obligation or liability with respect
to any matter occurring or arising prior to the date of such transfer. Tenant
agrees to attorn to the transferee.

32.  RIGHT TO PERFORM:

     If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Rent and
Additional Rent required to be paid by it hereunder, or shall fail to perform
any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, and such failure shall
continue for ten (10) days after notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord may, but
shall not be obligated so to do, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from
any obligations of Tenant, make such payment or perform any such other act on
Tenant's part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease. Any sums paid
by Landlord hereunder shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord
and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord)
the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment of sums due under
this Section as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent.

33.  QUIET ENJOYMENT:

     Tenant shall have the right to the peaceable and quiet use and enjoyment of
the Premises, subject to the provisions of this Lease, as long as Tenant is not
in default hereunder.

34.  AUTHORITY:

     If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability
partnership or limited or general partnership, each individual executing this
Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that he or she is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant, in accordance
with a duly adopted resolution or consents of all appropriate persons or
entities required therefor and in accordance with the formation documents of
Tenant, and that this Lease is binding upon Tenant in accordance with its terms.
At Landlord's request, Tenant shall, prior to execution of this Lease, deliver
to Landlord a copy of a resolution or consent, certified by an appropriate
officer, partner or manager of Tenant authorizing or ratifying the execution of
this Lease.

35.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS:

(a)  Tenant Obligations:

       (i) Tenant shall not dispose of or otherwise allow the release of any
hazardous waste or materials in, on or under the Premises or the Building, or
any adjacent property, or in any improvements placed on the Premises, except
only ordinary and general office supplies typically used in first-class downtown
office buildings and only in such quantities or concentrations as allowed under
applicable laws, rules and regulations .  Tenant represents and warrants to
Landlord that Tenant's intended use of the Premises does not involve the use,
production, disposal or bringing on to the Premises of any hazardous waste or
materials, except only ordinary and general office supplies typically used in
first-class downtown office buildings and only in such quantities or
concentrations as allowed under applicable laws, rules and regulations.  As used
in this Section, the term "hazardous waste or materials" includes any substance,
waste or material defined or designated as hazardous, toxic or dangerous (or any
similar term) pursuant to any statute, regulation, rule or ordinance now or
hereafter in effect.  Tenant shall promptly comply with all such statutes,
regulations, rules and ordinances, and if Tenant fails to so comply Landlord
may, after reasonable prior notice to Tenant (except in case of emergency)
effect such compliance on behalf of Tenant.  Tenant shall immediately reimburse
Landlord for all costs incurred in effecting such compliance.

       (ii) Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against any
and all losses, liabilities, suits, obligations, fines, damages, judgements,
penalties, claims, charges, cleanup costs, remedial actions, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, consultant fees, attorneys' fees and
disbursements) which may be imposed on, incurred or paid by Landlord, or
asserted in connection with (i) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or
other default by Tenant under this Section 35, or (ii) the acts or omissions of
Tenant, or any subtenant or other person for whom Tenant would otherwise be
liable, resulting in the release of any hazardous waste or materials.

(b)  Landlord Obligations:

       Tenant acknowledges that the Premises may contain Hazardous Substances,
and Tenant accepts the Premises and the Building notwithstanding such Hazardous
Substances subject to the provisions of this subparagraph (b).  If Landlord is
required by any law to take any action to remove or abate any Hazardous
Substances, or if Landlord deems it necessary to conduct special maintenance or
testing procedures with regard to any Hazardous Substances, or to remove or
abate any Hazardous Substances, Landlord may take such action or conduct such
procedures at times and in a manner that Landlord deems appropriate under the
circumstances, and Tenant shall permit the same; provided, however, that
Landlord shall minimize any disturbance of Tenant's normal business operations.
If any abatement or removal of such Hazardous Substances is caused by the act or
omission of Tenant, or its Authorized Representative, Tenant shall bear the cost
of such abatement or removal.  Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, will
remove the existing floor tiles and other materials which contain asbestos or
Hazardous Substances from within the Premises to Tenant's reasonable
satisfaction; provided, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that certain items (such
as encapsulated asbestos covering pipes within walls and lead paint on original
doors and trim) will not be removed.  Landlord will indemnify Tenant from and
against damage or injury caused by pre-existing Hazardous Substances in the
Building or the premises.

36.  TELECOMMUNICATIONS LINES AND EQUIPMENT:

(a)  Location of Tenant's Equipment and Landlord Consent:

     (i) Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove and use communications or
computer wires, cables and related devices (collectively, the "Lines") at the
Building in or serving the Premises, only with Landlord's prior written consent,
which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall locate all
electronic telecommunications equipment within the Premises or within the
Building telephone closets or riser spaces, at Tenant's cost. Request for
Landlord's consent shall contain detailed plans, drawings and specifications
identifying all work to be performed, the time schedule for completion of the
work, the identity of the entity that will provide service to the Lines and the
identity of the entity that will perform the proposed work (which entity shall
be subject to Landlord's approval). Landlord shall have a reasonable time in
which to evaluate the request after it is submitted by Tenant.

                                     -18-
<PAGE>

     (ii) Landlord will consider the following factors, among others, in making
its determination:  (A) the experience, qualifications and prior work practice
of the proposed contractor and its ability to provide sufficient insurance
coverage for its work at the Building; (B) whether or not the proposed work will
interfere with the use of any then existing Lines at the Building; (C) whether
or not an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall
be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Building; (D) a
requirement that Tenant remove existing abandoned Lines located in or servicing
the Premises, as a condition to permitting the installation of new lines; (E)
whether or not Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease;
(F) whether the proposed work or resulting Lines will impose new obligations on
Landlord, expose Landlord to liability of any nature or description, increase
Landlord's insurance premiums for the Building, create liabilities for which
Landlord is unable to obtain insurance protection or imperil Landlord's
insurance coverage; (G) whether Tenant's proposed service provider is willing to
pay reasonable monetary compensation for the use and occupation of the Building;
and (H) whether the work or resulting Lines would adversely affect the Land,
Building or any space in the Building in any manner.

     (iii)  Landlord's approval of, or requirements concerning, the Lines or any
equipment related thereto, the plans, specifications or designs related thereto,
the contractor or subcontractor, or the work performed hereunder, shall not be
deemed a warranty as to the adequacy thereof, and Landlord hereby disclaims any
responsibility or liability for the same.  Landlord disclaims all responsibility
for the condition or utility of the intra-building network cabling ("INC") and
makes no representation regarding the suitability of the INC for Tenant's
intended use.

     (iv) If Landlord consents to Tenant's proposal, Tenant shall (A) pay all
costs in connection therewith (including all costs related to new Lines); (B)
comply with all requirements and conditions of this Section; (C) use, maintain
and operate the Lines and related equipment in accordance with and subject to
all laws governing the Lines and equipment.  Tenant shall further insure that
(I) Tenant's contractor complies with the provisions of this Section and
Landlord's reasonable requirements governing any work performed; (II) Tenant's
contractor provides all insurance required by Landlord; (III) any work performed
shall comply with all Laws; and (IV) as soon as the work in completed, Tenant
shall submit "as-built" drawings to Landlord.

     (v) Landlord  reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines
located in or serving the Premises which are installed by Tenant in violation of
these provisions, or which are at any time in violation of any laws or present a
dangerous or potentially dangerous condition and were installed by Tenant within
three (3) days after written notice.

     (vi) Upon Landlord's request, and notwithstanding anything in the above
paragraphs, Tenant shall remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises and
installed by Tenant promptly upon expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease.

(b)  Landlord's Rights:

     Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to):

     (i) install new lines at the Building;

     (ii) create additional space for Lines at the Building; and

     (iii)  direct, monitor and/or supervise the installation, maintenance,
replacement and removal of, the allocation and periodic re-allocation of
available space (if any) for any Lines now or hereafter installed at the
Building by Landlord, Tenant or any other party (but Landlord shall have no
right to monitor or control the information transmitted through such Lines).

(c)  Indemnification:

     In addition to any other indemnification obligations under this Lease,
Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its employees, agents,
officers, and contractors from and against any and all claims, demands,
penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way related to
the acts and omissions of Tenant, Tenant's officers, directors, employees,
agents, contractors, subcontractors, subtenants, and invitees with respect to:
(i) any Lines or equipment related thereto installed by and serving Tenant in
the Building; (ii) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property
damage arising out of or related to any Lines or equipment related thereto
installed by and serving Tenant in the Building; (iii) any lawsuit brought or
threatened, settlement reached, or governmental order, fine or penalty relating
to such Lines or equipment related thereto; and (iv) any violations of Laws or
demands of governmental authorities, or any reasonable policies or requirement
of Landlord, which are based upon or in any way related to such Lines or
equipment. This indemnification and hold harmless agreement shall survive the
termination of this Lease.

                                     -19-
<PAGE>

(d)  Limitation of Liability:

     Except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees, Landlord shall have no
liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that the
Tenant's use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called
"Line Problems"): (I) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions,
disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, or
replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the
Building, by any failure of the environmental conditions or the power supply for
the Building to conform to any requirement of the Lines or any associated
equipment, or any other problems associated with any Lines by any other cause;
(ii) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant's requirements; or (iii) any
eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties. Landlord in no event
shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption
or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems. Under no
circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive
eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or
relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

(e)  Electromagnetic Fields:

     If Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic
field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser
cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, Landlord
reserves the right to require Tenant to appropriately insulate the Lines
therefore (including riser cables) to prevent such excessive electromagnetic
fields or radiation.

37.  GENERAL:

(a)  Headings:

     Titles to Sections of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall
have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

(b)  Successors and Assigns:

     All of the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions contained in this
Lease shall inure to and be binding upon the Landlord and Tenant and their
respective, successors and assigns.

(c)  Payment of Brokers:

     Landlord shall pay the commissions due those real estate brokers or agents
named in Section 1(k). If Tenant has dealt with any other person or real estate
broker with respect to leasing or renting space in the Building, Tenant shall be
solely responsible for the payment of any fee due said person or firm and Tenant
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any liability in respect
thereto, including Landlord's attorneys' fees and costs in defense of any such
claim.

(d)  Entire Agreement:

     This Lease contains all covenants and agreements between Landlord and
Tenant relating in any manner to the leasing, use and occupancy of the Premises,
to Tenant's use of the Building and other matters set forth in this Lease. No

any force or effect and the covenants and agreements of this Lease shall not be
altered, modified or added to except in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.

(e)  Severability:

     Any provision of this Lease which shall be held invalid, void or illegal
shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof and the
remaining provisions hereof shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

(f)  Overdue Payments:

     Tenant acknowledges that a late payment of Rent or other sums due hereunder
will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. Such costs
may include, but not be limited to, processing and accounting charges, and
penalties imposed by terms of any contracts, mortgages or deeds of trust
covering the Building. Therefore, in the event Tenant shall fail to pay any
Rent,

                                     -20-
<PAGE>

Additional Rent or other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease for seven (7)
days after such amount is due, then Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional
Rent, a late charge ("Late Charge") equal to 5% of such amount owing, but not in
excess of the highest rate permitted by law. In addition to any Late Charges
which may be incurred hereunder, any Rent, Additional Rent or other sums payable
by Tenant under this Lease which are more than thirty (30) days past due, shall
bear interest at a rate equal to 18% per annum but not in excess of the highest
lawful rate permitted under applicable laws, calculated from the original due
date thereof to the date of payment ("Overdue Fee"); provided, however, the
minimum Overdue Fee shall be $100.00.

     In addition, if payments are received by check or draft from Tenant, and
two (2) or more of such checks or drafts are dishonored by the bank or other
financial institution they were drawn upon in any twelve (12) month period,
Landlord may thereafter require all Rent and other payments due hereunder from
Tenant to Landlord to be made by bank cashier's or bank certified check or other
similar means of payment and Landlord shall not be required to accept any checks
or drafts of Tenant which do not comply with such requirements.

(g)  Consent and Discretion:

     Whenever the consent of a party to this Lease is required, except where
this Lease expressly provides otherwise, such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Whenever a party exercises its discretion
under the terms of this Lease, except where this Lease provides that such party
shall be entitled to exercise its sole discretion, that discretion shall be
exercised reasonably.

(h)  Force Majeure:

     Except for the payment of Rent, Additional Rent and other sums payable by
Tenant, time periods for Tenant's or Landlord's performance under any provisions
of this Lease shall be extended for periods of time during which Tenant's or
Landlord's performance is prevented due to circumstances beyond Tenant's or
Landlord's reasonable control.

(i)  Right to Change Public Spaces:

     Landlord shall have the right at any time, without thereby creating an
actual or constructive eviction or incurring any liability to Tenant therefor,
to change the arrangement or location of such of the following as are not
contained within the Premises or any part thereof: entrances, passageways, doors
and doorways, corridors, stairs, toilets and other like public service portions
of the Building. Nevertheless, in no event shall Landlord diminish any service,
change the arrangement or location of the elevators serving the Premises, make
any change which shall diminish the area of the Premises, make any change which
shall interfere with access to the Premises or change the character of the
Building from that of a first-class office building.

     This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Washington.

                            RIGHT OF EARLY OCCUPANCY

     This Early Occupancy Addendum ("Addendum") is attached to and made a part
of that certain Lease Agreement (the "Lease") between Samis Foundation, a
Washington 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation ("Landlord ") and Avenue A, Inc., a
Washington corporation ("Tenant").  Defined terms used in this Addendum shall
have the meanings given them in the Lease.  In the event of conflict between the
terms of the Lease and the terms of this Addendum, the terms of this Addendum
shall prevail.

     Landlord has agreed to allow Tenant to occupy space in the Building on a
temporary basis while the tenant improvements in the Premises are being
completed, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.  Accordingly,
in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, Landlord and Tenant
now agree:

     1.  Tenant, its agents, and contractors shall be allowed access to the
premises seven (7) days prior to the Commencement Date or other designated
occupancy date, as the case may be, with no obligations to pay rent, for the
purpose of planning, measuring and installing improvements such as telephone
systems, computer cabling, etc.  Landlord shall approve in writing the items to
be installed, the plan and method of installation, and timing thereof, in
advance.  Tenant shall not interfere with Landlord's work taking place in or
about the Premises.  Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
from and against any and all damage, claims, causes of action or liability
(including actual attorneys' fees and costs) arising from Tenant's early
occupancy.

                                  ADDENDUM "B"

                             OPTION TO EXTEND TERM

Tenant is granted the right to extend the term of this lease for a total of one
(1) term of five (5) years, (which shall be referred to herein as "Extension
Period"), on the same terms and conditions (except Rent) as set forth in this
Lease.  The right to extend (hereinafter referred to as the "Option") may be
exercised only in the event the Tenant is not in default (past applicable cure
periods) at the time said Option right is exercised, at the time the Extension
Period is to commence, or more than three (3) times during the Term.

In the event Tenant wishes to exercise its Option to Extend, Tenant shall notify
Landlord in writing no later than nine (9) months before the expiration of the
then-lease term.  If the above conditions are satisfied, Landlord and Tenant
shall be bound to extend the term of the Lease on the same terms and conditions
as the original Lease, except for the Minimum Monthly Rent, which shall be
Market Rent (as defined herein).

"Market Rent" as used herein shall mean the then prevailing market rental rate
on a level basis (i.e., both lease renewals and new leases) for office space of
comparable quality, design and location in the Seattle Central Business District
market area (I-5 to Elliott Bay, and from Lake Union to Union Station) for
tenants occupying 25,000 square feet or more, taking into consideration the
length of the Option term and tenant improvements paid for by Landlord and
Tenant.

The parties shall negotiate in good faith to establish the Market Rent.  If the
parties are unable to agree on Market Rent within thirty (30) days after Tenant
gives Landlord its notice exercising the Option (the "Notice Date"), then the
Market Rent shall be determined by independent appraisers or by arbitration (as
applicable) and each party shall promptly appoint a disinterested, independent
appraiser who is a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers
(an "Appraiser") and has at least ten (10) years experience appraising office
rental properties in the Puget Sound area.  If the Appraisers are unable to
reach agreement about Market Rent within thirty (30) days after the Notice Date,
then either party on notice to the other may request appointment of a single
arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with
its then prevailing real estate valuation arbitration rules as modified by this
Section.  If the AAA does not appoint an arbitrator meeting the same
qualifications of an Appraiser within thirty (30) days after the request, then
either party may apply to the presiding judge of the King County Superior Court
who, acting in his individual (not judicial) capacity, shall make the
appointment.

Once the arbitrator is appointed, each Appraiser promptly shall submit his
determination of Market Rent to the arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall determine
Market Rent (applying the definition stated above) within ten (10) days based
solely on the materials submitted by the Appraisers and the determination shall
not exceed or be less than the Market Rent determinations of the Appraisers.
Each party shall bear the expense of retaining its Appraiser.  The fees and
expenses of the arbitrator and other expenses of the arbitration shall be borne
equally by the parties.  The arbitrator's determination of Market Rent shall be
final and binding on the parties.  Judgment upon the determination of Market
Rent rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

                                 (Page 1 of 3)

Work Letter Agreement ("Agreement"), dated as of the 31st day of January, 2000,
by and between Samis Foundation, a Washington 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation
("Landlord"), and Avenue A, Inc. a Washington corporation ("Tenant").

Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Landlord and Tenant have
entered into a lease ("Lease") covering certain premises ("Premises") more
particularly described in Exhibit A attached to the Lease.

As part of the Lease and the consideration therefore, Landlord and Tenant hereby
agree as follows:

1.  COMPLETION SCHEDULE
    -------------------

          1.1  Attached is a schedule ("Work Schedule") setting forth a
     timetable for the planning and completion of the installation of the Tenant
     Improvements to be constructed in the Premises prior to the commencement
     Date of the Lease.  The Work Schedule sets forth each of the various items
     of work to be done by or approval to be given by Landlord and Tenant in
     connection with the completion of the Tenant Improvements.  The Work
     Schedule shall be the basis for completing the Tenant Improvement work.
     Landlord and Tenant shall each exert their good faith, reasonable and
     diligent efforts to achieve completion or approval of the matters described
     in the Work Schedule on or before the dates set forth therein; and Landlord
     and Tenant each agree to promptly and diligently respond to all questions
     and concerns raised by architects, engineers and other consultants in
     connection therewith.

2.  TENANT IMPROVEMENTS; TENANT IMPROVEMENT PLANS
    ---------------------------------------------

          2.1  In this Agreement "Tenant Improvements" shall include all work to
     be done in the Premises, beyond the definition of Building Shell, as
     outlined in Exhibit B-1 attached hereto, and pursuant to the Tenant
     Improvements Plans described in and developed in accordance with this
     Section 2, as modified by Tenant pursuant to Section 3.  Landlord and
     Tenant shall prepare Schematic Space Plan for the Tenant Improvements in
     accordance with the Work Schedule, upon which Schematic Space Plan,
     Landlord and Tenant shall then prepare the Tenant Improvements construction
     documents, (i.e., final working drawings and specifications for the Tenant
     Improvements) for the approval of Landlord and Tenant in accordance with
     the Work Schedule, which Tenant Improvements construction documents shall
     then constitute the "Tenant Improvements Plans".

          2.2  After determination of the Tenant Improvements Plans, the same
     shall be submitted to the appropriate governmental body for plan checking
     and issuance of necessary permits and approvals.  Landlord, with Tenant's
     cooperation, shall cause to be made any changes in the Tenant Improvements
     Plans necessary to obtain such permits and approvals.

3.  TENANT REQUESTED CHANGES TO TENANT IMPROVEMENTS PLANS
    -----------------------------------------------------

          3.1  After determination of the Tenant Improvements Plans, Tenant may,
     at Tenant's election, request revisions, modifications, changes and
     amendments to the Tenant Improvements Plans; and, subject to Landlord's
     consent and approval, in the exercise of Landlord's reasonable discretion,
     the Tenant Improvements Plans shall be so revised, provided, however, that
     all costs relating to re-design of the Tenant Improvements for such change,
     costs for changes to the Tenant Improvements Plans, additional permitting
     or fees which may be required in connection with such change, and any
     increased Tenant Improvements construction costs shall be paid by Tenant.
     Additionally, delays resulting from any such changes together with the time
     period for the preparation of estimates and review and approval by Landlord
     and Tenant shall constitute a Tenant Delay in accordance with the
     provisions of Section 7 herein.  If approved by Landlord, changes to the
     Tenant Improvements Plans shall be evidenced by written change order signed
     by Landlord, Tenant and the construction contractor.  Landlord shall have
     the right to decline Tenant's request for a change to the Tenant
     Improvements Plans if such changes are inconsistent with the other
     provisions of this Agreement or if the change would, in Landlord's opinion,
     delay completion of the Tenant Improvements beyond the Commencement Date.

4.  DETERMINATION OF FINAL PRICING
    ------------------------------

          4.1  After the determination of the Tenant Improvements Plans,
     Landlord shall prepare a final pricing for Tenant's approval in accordance
     with the Work Schedule, taking into account any modifications which may be
     required to reflect changes in the Tenant Improvements Plans required by
     such governmental body in connection with the issuance of permits and
     approvals.

5.  CONSTRUCTION OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
    -----------------------------------

          5.1  Landlord shall cause the Tenant Improvements to be substantially
     completed sufficient for the issuance of a temporary certificate of
     occupancy for the Premises on or before the Commencement Date of the Lease
     in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Work Letter.  Landlord
     shall supervise the completion of such work and shall use diligent efforts
     to secure substantial completion of the work in accordance with the Work
     Schedule.  The cost of such work shall be paid as provided in Section 6.

          5.2  In connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements,
     Landlord and Tenant shall arrange for Tenant to have access to the Premises
     commencing approximately ten (10) days prior to the estimated date for
     substantial completion shown on the Work Schedule, in order to allow Tenant
     to install systems furniture/workstations, telephone lines and telephone
     systems, fiber optics, computer cabling, and related similar matters, and,
     on a "space ready" basis only, to commence installation of Tenant's trade
     fixtures. Tenant shall schedule installation of such items with Landlord
     and Landlord's contractor so as not to unreasonably impede, interfere with
     or delay the progress of construction of the Tenant Improvements; and
     Tenant shall perform such installation in accordance with guidelines
     promulgated by Landlord's contractor. Delay, interference or damage arising
     out of Tenant's installation of such items shall constitute a Tenant Delay
     under Section 7. Any and all costs of installation of such items shall be
     at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

          5.3  During the period of construction of the Tenant Improvements,
     Landlord shall consult with Tenant from time to time as necessary to
     achieve approval of certain matters and installations related to the Tenant
     Improvements.  Such approvals shall be forthcoming from Tenant within a
     reasonable time period as requested by Landlord, which time period shall
     enable Landlord to maintain the schedule for substantial completion of the
     Tenant Improvements stated in the Work Schedule.  Failure of Tenant to
     respond within such requested time period shall constitute a Tenant Delay.

     Landlord one-third (1/3) of the total cost for these items (including fees,
     sales tax, etc.) not later than ten (10) days after receipt of invoice from
     Landlord to Tenant.

          6.4  If, after the Tenant Improvement Plans have been established and
     the final pricing has occurred, Tenant shall require changes or
     substitutions to the Tenant Improvement Plans, any additional costs thereof
     shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord not later than ten (10) days after
     invoice from Landlord to Tenant for the same.  Landlord shall have the
     right to decline Tenant's request for a change to the Tenant Improvement

     Agreement or if the change would, in Landlord's opinion, delay completion
     of the Tenant Improvements beyond the Commencement Date.

          6.5  In the event that the cost of the Tenant Improvements increases
     as set forth in Landlord's final pricing due to the requirements of any
     governmental agency and such increases exceed any available remaining
     amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay Landlord the
     amount of such increase within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's
     invoice for the same.

                                AVENUE A, INC.

                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") made as of February 3, 2000,
between AVENUE A, INC., a Washington corporation (the "Company"), and the
undersigned ("Purchaser").

1.   Sale of Stock

     1.1  Purchase.  Purchaser hereby purchases 75,000 shares of Common Stock
(the "Shares") at the purchase price of $8.00 per share, pursuant to the terms
herein.  The Shares are being issued pursuant to the Company's 1998 Stock
Incentive Compensation Plan.

     1.2  Payment.  The aggregate purchase price for the Shares is being paid
concurrently with the parties entrance into this Agreement.

2.   Securities Law Compliance

     2.1  Purchaser represents and warrants that (a) Purchaser has been
furnished with all information which Purchaser deems necessary to evaluate the
merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares; (b) Purchaser has had the
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the information
received about the Shares and the Company; and (c) Purchaser has been given the
opportunity to obtain any additional information Purchaser deems necessary to
verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Shares and the
Company.

     2.2  Purchaser hereby confirms that Purchaser has been informed that the
Shares have not been registered under the federal Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws pursuant to
exemptions from registration.  Purchaser further confirms that Purchaser
understands that the reliance by the Company on such exemptions is predicated in
part upon the truth and accuracy of the statements by Purchaser in this
Agreement.

     2.3  Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that Purchaser is purchasing
the Shares for Purchaser's own account, for investment purposes only, and not
with a view towards the distribution or public offering of all or any part of
the Shares.

     2.4  Purchaser hereby confirms that Purchaser understands that because the
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, Purchaser must
continue to bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite time and
the Shares cannot be sold unless the Shares are subsequently registered or an
exemption from registration is available.

     2.5  Purchaser hereby agrees that Purchaser shall in no event sell or
distribute all or any part of the Shares unless (a) there is an effective
registration statement under the

                                      -1-
<PAGE>

Securities Act and applicable state securities laws covering any such
transaction involving the Shares or (b) the Company receives an opinion of
Purchaser's legal counsel (concurred in by legal counsel for the Company)
stating that such transaction is exempt from registration or the Company
otherwise satisfies itself that such transaction is exempt from registration.

     2.6  Purchaser hereby consents to the placing of a legend on Purchaser's
certificate(s) as substantially set forth in Section 5 hereof and to the placing
of a stop-transfer order on the books of the Company and with any transfer
agents against the Shares until the Shares may be legally resold or distributed.

     2.7  Purchaser hereby confirms that Purchaser understands that at the
present time Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") may
not be relied on for the resale or distribution of the Shares by Purchaser.
Purchaser understands that the Company has no obligation to Purchaser to
register the Shares with the SEC and has not represented to Purchaser that it
will register the Shares.

     2.8  Purchaser confirms that Purchaser has been advised, prior to
Purchaser's purchase of the Shares, that neither the offering of the Shares nor
any offering materials have been reviewed by any administrator under the
Securities Act, the Washington State Securities Act or any other applicable
securities act (the "Acts") and that the Shares have not been registered under
any of the Acts and therefore cannot be resold unless they are registered under
the Acts or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

     2.9  Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless
from and against any loss, claim or liability, including attorneys' fees or
legal expenses, incurred by the Company as a result of any breach by Purchaser
of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or statement by Purchaser
in this Agreement or the breach by Purchaser of any of the terms or conditions
of this Agreement.

3.   Transfer Restrictions

     3.1  Restrictions on Transfer.  Shares shall not be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise of disposed of in contravention of
the market standoff provisions of Section 3.3 hereof or the right of first
refusal under Section 4 hereof.  Except as otherwise provided herein, such
restrictions on transfer, however, shall not apply to (a) a gratuitous transfer
of the Shares, provided, and only if, Purchaser obtains the Company's prior
written consent to such transfer, (b) a transfer of title to the Shares effected
pursuant to Purchaser's will or the laws of intestate succession, or (c) a
transfer to the Company in pledge as security for any purchase-money
indebtedness incurred by Purchaser in connection with the acquisition of the
Shares.

     3.2  Transferee Obligations.  Each person (other than the Company) to whom
the Shares are transferred by means of one of the permitted transfers specified
in Section 3.1 hereof must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such
transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Company that such person is bound by the
provisions of this Agreement and that the

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

transferred shares are subject to the market standoff provisions of Section 3.3
hereof and the right of first refusal under Section 4 hereof, to the same extent
such shares would be so subject if retained by Purchaser.

     3.3  Market Standoff.  In connection with any underwritten public offering
by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration
statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company's initial public
offering, Purchaser or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein
as the "Holder") shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate,
pledge, assign, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or
transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing
transactions with respect to, any Shares without the prior written consent of
the Company or its underwriters.  Such limitations shall be in effect for such
period of time as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters and
agreed to by the Company's officers and directors with respect to their shares
(other than any of their shares being sold pursuant to the registration
statement for the underwritten public offering); provided, however, that in no
event shall such period exceed 180 days.  Holder shall be subject to the market
standoff provisions of this Section 3.3 only if and to the same extent that the
officers and directors of the Company are also subject to similar arrangements.

4.   Company's Right of First Refusal

     Before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred
(including any assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of the
Shares, but not including a permitted transfer under Section 3.1 hereof), the
Company or its assignee shall have an assignable right of first refusal to
purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4 (the
"Right of First Refusal").

     4.1  Notice of Proposed Transfer.  In the event any Holder of the Shares
desires to accept a bona fide third-party offer for the sale or transfer of any
or all of the Shares, the Holder shall promptly deliver to the Company a written
notice (the "Notice") stating the terms and conditions of any proposed sale or
transfer, including:  (a) the Holder's bona fide intention to sell or otherwise
transfer such Shares; (b) the name of each proposed purchaser or other
transferee (the "Proposed Transferee"); (c) the number of Shares to be
transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (d) the bona fide cash price or
other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Shares (the
"Offered Price").  The Holder shall provide satisfactory proof that the
disposition of such shares to such Proposed Transferee would not be in
contravention of the provisions of Section 3 hereof and the Holder shall offer
to sell the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company.

     4.2  Exercise of Right of First Refusal.  At any time within 30 days after
receipt of the Notice, the Company or its assignee may, by giving written notice
to the Holder, elect to purchase all or any portion of the Shares proposed to be
transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase
price determined in accordance with subsection 4.3 below.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

     4.3  Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the Shares purchased under
this Section 4 shall be the Offered Price.  If the Offered Price includes
consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the noncash
consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in
good faith.

     4.4  Payment.  Payment of the purchase price shall be made, at the option
of the Company or its assignee, either (a) in cash (by check), by cancellation
of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company
or such assignee, or by any combination thereof within 30 days after receipt of
the Notice or (b) in the manner and at the time(s) set forth in the Notice.

     4.5  Holder's Right to Transfer.  If any of the Shares proposed in the
Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the
Company and/or its assignee as provided in this Section 4, then the Holder may
sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the
Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer is
consummated within 60 days after the date of the Notice and provided further
that any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any
applicable securities laws and the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that
the provisions of this Section 4 shall continue to apply to the Shares in the
hands of such Proposed Transferee.  If the Shares described in the Notice are
not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, or if the Holder
proposes to change the price or other terms to make them more favorable to the
Proposed Transferee, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company
or its assignee shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any
Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.

     4.6  Termination of Right of First Refusal.  The Right of First Refusal
under this Section 4 shall terminate as to any Shares upon the first sale of
Common Stock of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration
statement filed with and declared effective by the SEC (other than a
registration statement solely covering an employee benefit plan or corporate
reorganization).

5.   Legends

     Purchaser understands and agrees that the Shares are subject to
restrictions as substantially set forth herein.  Purchaser understands that the
certificate(s) representing the Shares shall bear legends in substantially the
following forms:

     "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC RESALE AND TRANSFER AND A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL HELD BY
THE ISSUER AND/OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED,
ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY WAY DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE CERTAIN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF
WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.  SUCH

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF
THESE SHARES."

     "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS
PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO
REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.  INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE
REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD
OF TIME.  THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN
FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED
TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS."

6.   Stop-Transfer Notices

     Purchaser understands and agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with
the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate "stop-
transfer" instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company
transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same
effect in its own records.  The Company shall not be required to (a) transfer on
its books any Shares that have been sold or transferred in violation of the
provisions of this Agreement or (b) treat as the owner of the Shares, or
otherwise accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any transferee to
whom the Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement.

7.  Independent Tax Advice

     Purchaser acknowledges that determining the actual tax consequences to each
particular Purchaser of purchasing or disposing of the Shares may be
complicated.  These tax consequences will depend, in part, on Purchaser's
specific situation, the resolution of currently uncertain tax law, and other
variables not within the control of the Company.  Purchaser is aware that
Purchaser should consult a competent and independent tax advisor for a full
understanding of the specific tax consequences to Purchaser prior to purchasing
or disposing of the Shares.  Prior to purchasing shares, Purchaser either has
consulted with a competent tax advisor independent of the Company to obtain tax
advice concerning the purchase of the Shares in light of Purchaser's specific
situation or has had the opportunity to consult with such a tax advisor but
chose not to do so.

     8.3  No Waiver.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be
valid unless in writing, signed by the person against whom such waiver is sought
to be enforced, nor shall failure to enforce any right hereunder constitute a
continuing waiver of the same or a waiver of any other right hereunder.

     8.4  Cancellation of Shares.  If the Company (or its assignees) shall make
available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this
Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased by the Company

time, the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer
have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive
payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement, as the case may
be).  The Company (or its assignees) shall be deemed the owner and holder of
such shares, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered.

     8.5  Purchaser Undertaking.  Purchaser hereby agrees to take whatever
additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem

such person shall have become a party to this Agreement and agreed in writing to
join herein and be bound by the terms and conditions hereof.

execution, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
