     1.08   Security Deposit $ 6,942.19; payable by Lessee upon execution of
this lease.

                               ARTICLE 2.00 RENT

     2.01   Base Rent. Lessee agrees to pay monthly as base rent during the term
of this Lease, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim the sum of money set
forth in section 1.04 of this Lease, which amount shall be payable to Lessor at
the address shown above. One monthly installment of rent shall be due and
payable on the date of execution of this Lease by Lessee for the first month's
rent and a like monthly installment shall be due and payable on or before the
first day of each calendar month succeeding the commencement date or completion
date during the term of this Lease, provided, that if the commencement date or
the completion date should be a date other than the first day of a calendar
month, the monthly rental set forth above shall be prorated to the end of that
calendar month, and all succeeding installments of rent shall be payable on or
before the first day of each succeeding calendar month during the term of this
Lease. Lessee shall pay, as additional rental, all other sums due under this
Lease. A rent concession or waiver of the base rent shall not relieve Lessee of
any obligation to pay any other charge due and payable under this Lease,
including without limitation, any sum due under section 1.05.

     2.02   Operating Expense Payment. Lessee shall also pay as additional
rental Lessee's pro rata share of the amount, if any, by which (i) the operating
expenses (defined in Section 2.03 hereof) exceed the actual per square foot
building operating expenses for 1998 as a base year based on the rentable area
of the building (the "Operating Expense Obligation"). Lessor shall invoice
Lessee monthly for monthly installments of Lessee's Operating Expenses
Obligation during the first calendar year of this Lease (which amount shall be
adjusted at the beginning of each subsequent calendar year based upon
anticipated operating costs for such year). Lessor shall, within six months
following the close of a calendar year for which additional rental is due under
this section, invoice Lessee for the additional rent. If this Lease shall
terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount of any
additional rental payable by Lessee applicable to the year in which such
termination shall occur shall be prorated on the ratio that the number of days
from the commencement of such calendar year and to including such termination
date bears to 365. If the invoice delivered within six months following the
close of a calendar year in accordance with this section shows an amount
owing by Lessee that is less than the sum of the monthly payments made by Lessee
in the previous calendar year, the invoice shall be accompanied by a refund of
the excess from Lessor to Lessee. During the year in which this Lease
terminates, Lessor shall have the option to invoice Lessee for Lessee's
Operating Expenses Obligation based upon Lessee's previous year's Operating
Expenses Obligation; Lessor shall invoice Lessee under this option within thirty
days prior to the termination of this Lease or at any time thereafter. Lessee
shall have the right, at its own expense and within reasonable time, to audit
Lessor's books relevant to the additional rent, and Lessee agrees to pay the
additional rent within ten days following the receipt of the invoice. The term
"Lessee's pro rata share" is defined on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. If after
audit, Lessee determines the obligation was overstated, Lessee shall be entitled
to a refund of the overstatement. If overstatement exceeds three percent (3%) of
amount due, Lessor shall pay cost of audit.

     2.03   Operating Expenses. The term "operating expenses" includes all
expenses incurred by Lessor with respect to the maintenance and operation of the
building and project of which the leased premises are a part, including, but not
limited to, the following: (1) maintenance and repair costs; (2) electricity,
fuel, water, sewer, gas and other utility charges; (3) security, window washing,
janitorial services, trash and snow removal; (4) landscaping and pest control;
(5) reasonable (consistent with like building in the market) management fees,
wages and fringe benefits payable to on-site building manager; (6) all services,
supplies, repairs, replacements or other expenses for maintaining and operating
the building or project including parking or common areas; (7) the cost,
including interest, amortized over its useful life, of installation of any
device or other equipment which improves the operating efficiency of any system
within the building of which the leased premises forms a part; (8) all real
property taxes and installments of special assessments, including dues and
assessments by means of deed restrictions and/or owners' associations which
accrue against the building and project of which the leased premises are a part
during the term of this Lease; (9) all insurance premiums Lessor is required to
pay or deems necessary to pay, including public liability insurance, with
respect to the building; (10) workmen's

                                       2

compensation insurance, employment taxes, uniforms and equipment for employees
and agents referenced in item (5) above; (11) fire protection; and (12)
maintenance, repair and replacement of water, electrical, sanitary sewer, storm
sewer and other utility lines, pipes and conduits serving the building and
project. The term "operating expenses" does not include the following; (1)
repairs, restoration or other work occasioned by fire, wind, the elements or
other casualty; (2) income and franchise taxes of Lessor; (3) expenses incurred
in leasing to or procuring of tenants, leasing commissions, advertising expenses
and expenses for the renovating of space for new tenants; (4) interest or
principal payments on any mortgage or other indebtedness of Lessor; (5) any
depreciation allowance or expense; (6) capital improvements to the Building
other than as described in (7) above, including those required by law, (7)
abatement of environmental hazards or materials.

     2.04   Late Payment Charge. Other remedies for nonpayment of rent
notwithstanding, if the monthly payment due per sections 2.01 and 2.02 above are
not received by Lessor on or before the fifth day of the month for which the
rent is due, or if any other payment due Lessor by Lessee is not received by
Lessor on or before the fifth day of the month next following the month in which
Lessee was invoiced, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, a
service charge of up to three percent (3%) per month until paid of such past due
amount shall, at Lessor's option, be assessed and shall be immediately due and
payable by Lessee in addition to such other amount owed under this Lease.

     2.05   Increase in Insurance Premiums. If any increase in the fire
insurance premiums paid by Lessor for the building is caused by Lessee's use of
the leased premises in a manner other than as set forth in section 1.07, then
Lessee shall pay as additional rent the amount of such increase to Lessor.

     2.06   Security Deposit. On the date of execution of this Lease by Lessee,
there shall be due and payable by Lessee a security deposit in an amount
specified in section 1.08 above, to be held for the performance by Lessee of
Lessee's covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly
understood that the deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rental
or a measure of Lessor's damage in case of default by Lessee. Upon the
occurrence of any event of default by Lessee or breach by Lessee of Lessee's
covenants under this Lease, Lessor may, from time to time after notice and
opportunity to cure as provided herein, without prejudice to any other remedy,
use the security deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of
rent, or to repair any damage or injury, and pay any expense or liability
incurred by Lessor as a result of the event of default or breach of covenant,
and any remaining balance of the security deposit shall be returned by Lessor to
Lessee upon termination of this Lease. If any portion of the security deposit is
so used or applied, Lessee shall upon ten days written notice from Lessor,
deposit with Lessor an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its
original amount.

     2.07   Holding Over. In the event of holding over by Lessee after the
expiration or termination of this Lease, the hold over shall be as a tenant at
will and all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable
during that period, except that Lessee shall pay lessor as rental for the period
of such hold over a monthly amount equal to 1.5 times the monthly rent which
would have been payable by Lessee had the hold over period been a part of the
original term of this Lease. Lessee agrees to vacate and deliver the lease
premises to Lessor upon Lessee's receipt of notice from Lessor to vacate. The
rental payable during the hold over period shall be payable to Lessor on demand.
No holding over by Lessee, whether with or without the consent of Lessor, shall
operate to extend the term of this Lease.

                        ARTICLE 3.00 OCCUPANCY AND USE

     3.01   Use. Lessee warrants and represents to Lessor that the leased
premises shall be used and occupied only for the purpose as set forth in section

reputable and will not create any nuisance. Lessee shall not permit any
operation which emits any odor or matter which intrudes into other portions of
the building, use any apparatus or machine which makes undue noise or causes
vibration in any portion of the building or otherwise interfere with, annoy or
disturb any other lessee in its normal business operations or Lessor in its
management of the building. Lessee shall not commit or permit any

withheld, and which signs and sign locations are in conformance with Lessor's
sign criteria established for the project.

sole cost and expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules and

Lessee's use and enjoyment of the leased premises, provided Lessor shall use
reasonable efforts to respond to Lessee complaints regarding violations by third
parties of established rules and regulations.

     3.06   Lessor's Right of Access. Lessor or its authorized agents shall at
any and all reasonable times following reasonable notice to Lessee have the
right to enter the leased premises to inspect the same, to supply janitorial
service or any other service to be provided by Lessor, to show during the last
six months of the term the leased premises to prospective purchasers or lessees,
and to alter, improve or repair the leased premises or any other portion of the
building. Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages for injury or inconvenience
to or interference with Lessee's business, any loss of occupancy or use of the
leased premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby except to the extent
resulting from the negligent or willful misconduct of Lessor, its employees and
agents. Lessor shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all
of the doors in, upon and about the leased premises. Lessee shall not change
Lessor's lock system or in any other manner prohibit Lessor from entering the
leased premises. Lessor shall have the right to use any and all means which
Lessor may deem proper to open any door in an emergency without liability
therefor. In exercising the foregoing rights, Lessor shall use reasonable
efforts to minimize interference with Lessee's use and enjoyment of the leased

                      ARTICLE 4.00 UTILITIES AND SERVICE

     4.01   Building Services. Lessor shall furnish water and electricity for
Lessee during the term of this Lease. Lessee shall pay all telephone charges.
Lessor shall furnish Lessee hot and cold water at those points of supply
provided for general use of other lessees in the building, central heating and
air conditioning in season (at times Lessor normally furnishes these services to
other lessees in the building, and at temperatures and in amounts as are
considered by Lessor to be standard, such serve on Saturday afternoons, Sundays,
evenings and holidays to be furnished only upon the request of Lessee, who shall
bear the entire cost reasonably set for the leased premises). Lessor shall also
                --------------------------------------------
furnish routine maintenance, painting and electric lighting service for

all public areas and special service areas of the building in the manner and to
the extent deemed by Lessor to be standard. Lessor shall provide automatic
elevators available for use on a 7/24 basis. Lessor may, in its sole discretion,
provide additional services not enumerated herein. Failure by Lessor to any
extent to furnish these defined services or any other services not enumerated,
or any cessation thereof, shall not render Lessor liable in any respect for
damages to either person or property, be construed as an eviction of Lessee,
work an abatement of rent or relieve Lessee from fulfillment of any covenant in
this Lease except as allowed by law. Should any of the building equipment or
machinery break down, or for any cause cease to function properly, Lessor shall
use reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly, but Lessee shall have no
claim for rebate of rent on account of any interruption in service occasioned
from the repairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event
any interruption in utility service due to the negligence of the Landlord causes
the leased premises to be rendered untenantable (meaning that Lessee is unable
to use such space in the formal course of its business) for more than five (5)
consecutive days after notice from Lessee to Lessor that such utility service
has been interrupted ("Interruption Notice"), rent shall abate on a per diem
basis for each day after such five (5) day period during which the leased
premises remain untenantable. If an interruption in utility service causes the
leased premises to be rendered untenantable for more than one hundred eighty
(180) consecutive days after Lessee gives Lessor an Interruption Notice, Lessee
may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving notice to Lessor within five
(5) days after such one hundred eighty (180) day period. Lessor reserves the
right from time to time to make reasonable changes in the delivery of utilities
and services to the building not depriving Lessee of benefit.

     4.02 Theft or Burglary. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for losses due
to theft or burglary, or for damages done by unauthorized persons to the
leased premises or the building. Lessor shall provide reasonable security
measures consistent with like buildings in the market.

     4.03 Janitorial Service. Lessor shall furnish janitorial services to the
leased premises and public areas of the building in amounts and quality
consistent with services provided to like buildings in the area five times per
week during the term of this Lease, excluding holidays. Lessor shall not provide
janitorial service to kitchen, bathrooms or storage areas included in the leased
premises.

     4.04 Excessive Utility Consumption. Lessee shall pay all utility costs
occasioned by electrodata processing machines, telephone equipment, computers
and other equipment of high electrical consumption, including without
limitation, the cost of installing, servicing and maintaining any special or
additional inside or outside wiring or lines, meters or submeters, transformers,
poles, air conditioning costs, or the cost of any other equipment necessary to
increase the amount or type of electricity or power available to the leased
premises. Lessee shall not install any such equipment without the prior written
consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld.

     Lessor may, among other conditions, require as a condition to its consent
for the installation of such equipment or machinery, payment by Lessee as
additional rent for excess consumption of electricity that may be occasioned by
the operation of said equipment or machinery. Lessor may make periodic
inspections of the leased premises at reasonable times to determine that
Lessee's electrically operated equipment and machinery complies with the
provisions of this section.

     The total average consumption of electricity, including lighting, in excess
of five (5) watts per square foot for the leased premises shall be deemed
excessive. Additionally, any individual piece of electrically operated machinery
or equipment having a name plate rating in excess of two (2) kilowatts shall
also be deemed as requiring excess electric current. At Lessee's option and
expense, Lessee may install an electrical meter to track such costs.

     Lessor may require that one or more separate meters be installed to record
the consumption or use of electricity, or shall have the right to cause a
reputable independent electrical engineer to survey and determine the quantity
of electricity consumed by such excessive use. The cost of any such survey or
meters and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid for by
Lessee. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor (or the utility company, if direct service
is provided by the utility company), promptly upon demand therefor, for all such
electric consumption and demand as shown by said meters, or a flat monthly
charge determined by the

survey, as applicable, at the rates charged for such service by the local public
utility company. If Lessee's cost of electricity based on meter readings is to
be paid to Lessor, Lessee shall pay a service charge related thereto.

     Lessor shall not be liable for its failure to maintain comfortable
atmospheric conditions in all or any portion of the leased premises due to heat
generated by any equipment, machinery or additional lighting installed by
Lessee (with or without Lessor's consent) that exceeds design capabilities for
the building of which the leased premises are a part. If Lessee desires
additional cooling to offset excessive heat generated by such equipment or
machinery, Lessee shall pay for auxiliary cooling equipment, and its operating
costs including without limitation electricity, gas, oil and water, or for
excess electrical consumption by the existing cooling system, as appropriate.

     4.05 Window Coverings. Lessor shall furnish and install window coverings on
all exterior windows to maintain a uniform exterior appearance. Lessee shall not
remove or replace these window coverings or install any other window covering
which would affect the exterior appearance of the building. Lessee may install
lined or unlined over draperies on the interior sides of the Lessor furnished
window coverings, for interior appearance or to reduce light transmissions,
provided such over draperies do not affect the exterior appearance of the
building, or affect the operation of the building's heating, ventilating and air
conditioning systems.

     4.06 Charge for Service. All costs of Lessor for providing the services set
forth in Article 4.00 (except those charges paid by Lessee pursuant to section
4.04) shall be subject to the additional rent provisions in section 2.02.

     5.01 Lessor Repairs. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, Lessor
shall not be required to make any improvements, replacements or repairs of any
kind or character to the leased premises or to the building and project of which

repairs as are set forth in this section. Lessor shall maintain only the roof,
foundation, parking and common areas, the structural soundness of the exterior
walls, doors, corridors, windows and other structures or equipment serving the
leased premises. Lessor's cost of maintaining and repairing the items set forth

Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee, except as expressly provided in this
Lease, for any damage or inconvenience, and Lessee shall not be entitled to any
abatement or reduction of rent by reason of any repairs, alterations or
additions made by Lessor under this Lease, provided Lessor shall use reasonable
efforts to minimize interference with Lessee's use and enjoyment of the
Premises.

     5.02 Lessee Repairs. Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, repair or
replace any damage or injury to all or any part of the leased premises caused by
Lessee or Lessee's agents, employees, invitees, licensees or visitors, after
having obtained Lessor's approval per section 6.02 hereof; provided, however,
if Lessee fails to make the repairs or replacements promptly after notice and
opportunity to cure, Lessor may, at its option, make the repairs or replacements
and the costs of such repairs or replacements shall be charged to Lessee as
additional rent and shall become payable by Lessee with the payment of the rent
next due hereunder.

     5.03 Request for Repairs. All requests for repairs or maintenance that are
the responsibility of Lessor pursuant to any provisions of this Lease must be
made in writing to Lessor at the address set forth herein.

     5.04 Lessee Damages. Lessee shall not allow any damage to be committed on
any portion of the leased premises or building, and at the termination of this
Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, Lessee shall deliver the leased premises
to Lessor in as good condition as existed at the commencement date of this
Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted. The cost and expense of any repairs
necessary to restore the condition of the leased premises shall be borne by
Lessee.

                   ARTICLE 6.00 ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

     6.01 Lessor Improvements. If construction to the leased premises is to be
performed by Lessor prior to or during Lessee's occupancy, Lessor will complete
the construction of the improvements to the leased premises, in accordance
with plans and specifications agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, which plans and
specifications are made a part of this Lease by reference, Lessee shall execute
a copy of the plans and specifications and a change order setting forth the
amount of any such costs to be borne by Lessor within seven days of receipt of
the plans and specifications. In the event Lessee fails to execute the plans
and specifications and change order within the seven-day period, Lessor may, at
its sole option, declare this Lease canceled or notify Lessee that the base rent
shall commence on the completion date even though the improvements to be
constructed by Lessor may not be complete. Any changes or modifications to the
approved plans and specifications shall be made and accepted by written change
order or agreement signed by Lessor and Lessee and shall constitute an amendment
to this Lease.

     6.02 Lessee Improvements. Lessee shall not make or allow to be made any

millwork and carpeting; (2) are not visible from the exterior of the leased
premises or the Building and (3) do not affect the Systems or the structural
elements of the Building, then such no consent shall be required; provided that
even if Lessor's consent to an Alteration is not required, Lessee shall still
comply with this Section. Any alterations, physical additions or improvements to
the leased premises made by Lessee shall become the property of Lessor and shall
be surrendered to Lessor and become the property of Lessor upon the termination
of this Lease. Provided, however, Lessor, at its option, may require at the time
of approval only, Lessee to remove any physical additions and/or repair any
alterations in order to restore the leased premises to the condition existing at
the time Lessee took possession, all costs of removal and/or alterations to be

Lease if Lessee is not then in default and if such equipment and furniture is
not then subject to any other rights, liens and interests of Lessor.

                ARTICLE 7.00 CASUALTY AND INSURANCE, LIABILITY

     7.01 Substantial Destruction. If the leased premises should be totally
destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the leased premises should be so
damaged so that Lessor determines in its sole discretion that rebuilding cannot
reasonably be completed within 120 working days after the date of written
notification by Lessee to Lessor of the destruction, this Lease shall terminate
and the rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion of the Lease, effective
as of the date of the written notification.

     7.02 Partial Destruction. If the leased premises should be partially
damaged by fire or other casualty, and Lessor determines in its sole discretion
that rebuilding or repairs can reasonably be completed within 120 working days
from the date of written notification by Lessee to Lessor of the destruction,
this Lease shall not terminate, and Lessor shall at its sole risk and expense
proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild or repair the building or other
improvements to substantially the same condition in which they existed prior to
the damage. If the leased premises are to be rebuilt or repaired and are
untenantable in whole or in part following the damage, and the damage or
destruction was not caused or contributed to by act or negligence of Lessee, its
agents, employees, invitees or those for whom Lessee is responsible, the rent
payable under this Lease during the period for which the leased premises are
untenantable may be adjusted to such an extent as Lessor in its sole discretion
determines is fair and reasonable under the circumstances. In the event that
Lessor fails to complete the necessary repairs or rebuilding within 120 working
days from the date of written notification by Lessee to Lessor of the
destruction, Lessee may at its option terminate this Lease by delivering written
notice of termination to Lessor, whereupon all rights and obligations under this
Lease shall cease to exist.

Lease maintain a policy or policies of insurance with the premiums paid in

risk of direct physical loss in an amount equal to ninety percent of the full
replacement cost of the building structure and its improvements as of the date
of the loss; provided, that Lessor shall not be obligated in any way or manner
to insure any personal property (including, but not limited to, any furniture,
machinery, goods or supplies) of Lessee upon or within the leased premises, any
fixtures installed by or paid for by Lessee upon or within the leased premises,

employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the leased premises,
improvements to the building of which the leased premises are a part, or
personal property within the building, by reason of fire or the elements
regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of Lessor or Lessee and
their agents, officers and employees. Because this section will preclude the
assignment of any claim mentioned in it by way of subrogation or otherwise to an
insurance company or any other person, each party to this Lease agrees
immediately to give to each insurance company which has issued to it policies of
insurance covering all risk of direct physical loss, written notice of terms of
the mutual waivers contained in this section and to have the insurance policies
properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance
coverages by reason of the mutual waivers contained in this section.

employees, or of any other person entering upon the leased premises under
express or implied invitation by Lessee, or caused by the improvements
located on the leased premises becoming out of repair, the failure or
cessation of any service provided by Lessor (including security service and
devices), or caused by leakage of gas, oil, water or steam or by electricity
emanating from the leased premises. Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Lessor from any loss, attorney's fees, expenses and claims arising
out of any such damage or injury, except to the limited extent arising solely
out of any fault or negligence on the part of Lessor. Without limitation of any
other provisions hereof, Lessor agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and save

manner to Lessee, its agents, employees, invitees or visitors for any injury or
damage to Lessee, Lessee's agents, employees, invitees or visitors, or their
property, caused by the criminal or intentional misconduct of third parties or
of Lessee, Lessee's agents, employees, invitees or visitors. All claims against
Lessor for any such damage or injury are hereby expressly waived by Lessee, and
Lessee hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Lessor from all such damages
and the attorney's fees and other expenses of defending all claims made by
Lessee's agents, employees, invitees or visitors arising out of such acts,
except to the limited extent caused solely by any fault or negligence on the
part of Lessor.

the commencement of the term, and renewal certificates or copies of renewal
policies shall be delivered to Lessor at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration date of any policy.

     (e)  Notwithstanding the fact that any liability of Lessee to Lessor may
be covered by Lessee's insurance, Lessee's liability shall in no way be limited
by the amount of its insurance recovery.

                           ARTICLE 8.00 CONDEMNATION

     8.01 Substantial Taking. If during the term (or any extension or renewal)
of this Lease, all or a substantial part of the leased premises are taken for
any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or
regulation, or by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, and
the taking would prevent or materially interfere with the use of the leased
premises for the purpose for which they are then being used, this Lease shall

Lease, or allow it to be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or

excess consideration within ten days following receipt thereof by Lessee; or (3)
refuse, in its reasonable discretion and judgment, to consent to the proposed

then assigned or sublet, Lessor, in addition to any other remedies provided by
this Lease or provided by law, may, at its option, collect directly from the
assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Lessee by reason of the
assignment or sublease. Any collection directly by Lessor from the assignee or
subtenant shall not be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Lessee

additional instruments subordinating this Lease as Lessor may require. If the
interests of Lessor under this Lease shall be transferred by reason of
foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of any mortgage or deed of
trust on the leased premises, Lessee shall be bound to the transferee (sometimes
called the "Purchaser"), at the option of the Purchaser, under the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease for the balance of the term remaining,
and any extensions or renewals, with the same force and effect as if the
Purchaser were Lessor under this Lease, and, if requested by the Purchaser,

or controls, or is owned or controlled by, Lessee, (2) any corporation or entity
which is owned or controlled by Lessee's parent corporation, or (3) any

business reorganization, provided that such successor or assignee formed by
virtue of either subsection(1), (2), or (3) above has a net worth which is at
least equal to that of Lessee as of the date of this Lease. In such event, upon
Lessor request, Lessee shall furnish Lessor any information connected to such
transaction as may be reasonably requested by Lessor including, by way of
example, but not limitation, financial statements of the new entity. In no event

     11.01 Default by Lessee. The following shall be deemed to be events of
default by Lessee under this Lease: (1) Lessee shall fail to pay when due any
installment of rent or any other payment required pursuant to this Lease within
five (5) days of written notice of such failure; (2) Lessee shall fail to comply
with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of
rent, and the failure is not cured within thirty days after written notice to
Lessee; (3) Lessee shall file a petition or be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent
under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law or admit that
it cannot meet its financial obligations as they become due; or a receiver or
trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of
Lessee; or Lessee shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors or shall make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (4) Lessee shall do or permit to be
done any act which results in a lien or claim of lien being filed against the
leased premises or the building and or project of which the leased premises are
a part, and such lien is not removed or endorsed over within ten days.

     11.02 Option to Re-enter. In each and every such event set forth in section
11.01 above, from thenceforth and at all times thereafter, at the option of
Lessor, Lessee's right of possession shall thereupon cease and terminate, and
Lessor shall be entitled to the possession of the leased premises and to re-
enter the same without demand of rent or demand of possession of said premises
and may forthwith proceed to recover possession of the leased premises by
process of law, any notice to quit being hereby expressly waived by Lessee. In
the event of such re-entry by process of law or otherwise, Lessee nevertheless
agrees to remain answerable for any and all damage, deficiency or loss of rent
which Lessor may sustain by such re-entry, including reasonable attorney's fees
and court costs. No waiver of any breach of any covenant, condition or
agreement, herein contained, on one or more occasions shall operate as a waiver
of the covenant, condition or agreement itself, or of any subsequent breach
thereof. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by
Lessor unless such waiver shall be in writing signed by Lessor.

     11.03 Lessor's Right to Relet. Should this Lease be terminated before the
expiration of the term of this Lease by reason of Lessee's default as provided
in Section 11.01, the leased premises may be relet by Lessor for such rent and
upon such terms as are reasonable under the circumstances. If the full rent
reserved under this Lease (and any of the costs, expenses or damages indicated
below) shall not be realized by Lessor, Lessee shall be liable for all damages
sustained by Lessor, including, without limitation, deficiency in rent,
reasonable attorney's fees, other collection costs, brokerage fees, and expenses
of placing the leased premises in first-class rentable condition. Lessor, in
putting the leased premises in good order or preparing the same for rerental
may, at Lessor's option, make such alterations, repairs, or replacements in the
leased premises as Lessor, in Lessor's sole judgment, considers advisable and
necessary for the purpose

of reletting the leased premises, and the making of such alterations, repairs,
or replacements shall not operate or be construed to release Lessee from
liability hereunder as aforesaid. Lessor shall in no event be liable in any way
whatsoever for failure to relet the leased premises, or in the event that the
leased premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such
reletting. In no event shall Lessee be entitled to receive any excess, if any,
of such net rent collected over the sums payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder.

     11.04 Recovery of Damages. Any damage or loss of rent sustained by Lessor
may be recovered by Lessor, at Lessor's option, at the time of the reletting, or
in separate actions, from time to time, as said damage shall have been
ascertained by successive relettings, or, at Lessor's option, may be deferred
until the expiration of the term of this Lease (in which event Lessee hereby
agrees that the cause of action shall not be deemed to have accrued until the
date of expiration of said term). The provisions contained in this paragraph
shall be in addition to and shall not prevent the enforcement of any claim
Lessor may have against Lessee for anticipatory breach of the unexpired term of
this Lease. All rights and remedies of Lessor under this Lease shall be
cumulative and shall not be exclusive of any other rights and remedies provided
to Lessor under applicable law. In the event Lessee becomes the subject debtor
in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of this section 11.04 may be
limited by the limitations of damage provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

     11.05 Waiver. If under the provisions hereof Lessor shall institute
proceedings and a compromise or settlement thereof shall be made, the same shall
not constitute a waiver of any covenant, rule or regulation herein contained nor
of any of Lessor's rights hereunder. No waiver by Lessor of any breach of any
covenant, condition, agreement, rule or regulation herein contained shall
operate as a waiver of such covenant, condition, agreement, rule or regulation
itself, or of any subsequent breach thereof.

                          ARTICLE 13.00 DEFINITIONS

     13.01 Abandon. "Abandon" means the vacating of all or a substantial

                          ARTICLE 14.00 MISCELLANEOUS

     14.01 Waiver. Failure of Lessor to declare an event of default immediately
upon its occurrence, or delay in taking any action in connection with an event
of default, shall not constitute a waiver of the default, but Lessor shall have
the right to declare the default at any time and take such action as is lawful
or authorized under this Lease. Pursuit of any one or more of the remedies set
forth in Article 11.00 above shall not preclude pursuit of any one or more of
the other remedies provided elsewhere in this Lease or provided by law, nor
shall pursuit of any

remedy constitute forfeiture or waiver of any rent or damages accruing to Lessor
by reason of the violation of any of the terms, provisions or covenants of this

covenants contained in this Lease.

     14.02 Act of God. Lessor shall not be required to perform any covenant or
obligation in this Lease, or be liable in damages to Lessee, so long as the

shall pay to the prevailing party all of the reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such suit or
proceeding.

of Lessor and Lessee and their respective successors and assigns.

not effective until execution by and delivery to both Lessor and Lessee.

     14.09 Corporate Authority. If Lessee executes this Lease as a corporation,
each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Lessee does hereby

thereof to any person or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable to any
extent, the remainder of this Lease and the application of such provisions to
other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be

                DESCRIPTION OF LEASED PREMISES AND DEFINITIONS

     1. Definition of Rentable Area. The term "rentable area" as used herein and
applied to Lessee, shall refer to (A) all floor areas within the inside surface
of the outer glass or exterior wall enclosing the portion of the leased premises

following areas: those leased by or held for lease to other tenants or devoted
to corridors, elevator foyers, rest rooms, mechanical rooms, janitor closets,
vending areas and other similar facilities for the use of all tenants on the
particular floor (hereinafter sometimes called "Floor Common Areas"), together
with (b) 12,222 square feet consisting of: (i) a proportionate part of the Floor
Common Areas located on such floor based upon the ratio which the Lessee's space
on such floor (computed using the measurement criteria set forth in subparagraph
(A) above) bears to the aggregate leasable space on such floor (computed using
the measurement criteria set forth in subparagraph (A) above) and (ii) an
allocation of the square footage of the Building's elevator and main mechanical
rooms, and ground level lobby and service areas, based upon the ratio which the
Lessee's space within the Building (computed using the measurement criteria set
forth in subparagraph (A) above) bears to the aggregate leasable space within
the Building (computed using the measurement criteria set forth in subparagraph
(A) above). No deductions from rentable area are made for columns or projections
necessary to the Building. The rentable area of the leased premises has been
calculated on the basis of the foregoing definition and is hereby stipulated for
all purposes hereof to be 4,886 square feet. The rentable area of the Building
includes 100% of Floor Common Areas, Building elevator and main mechanical
rooms, and ground level lobby and service areas, and is stipulated for all
purposes hereof to be 141,137 square feet.

     2.  Floor Plan. A floor plan of the 6th floor of the Building, showing
Lessee's suite, is attached as a part of this Exhibit "A".

     3.  Definition of Lessee's Pro Rata Share. The term "Lessee's pro rata
share" shall mean, as to any calendar year during the term hereof, a fraction
having as its numerator the rentable area of the leased premises and having as
its denominator the rentable area of the Building.

          The purpose of the Alltrista Corporation ("Company") 1999 Economic
          Value Added Incentive Compensation Plan For Key Members Of Management
          (the "Plan") is to encourage sustained value creation by the Company
          by establishing a direct link between Economic Value Added ("EVA")
          creation, sales growth and incentive compensation payments to
          management. This will improve the link between shareholder value and
          incentive compensation payments.

          Company through their ability and commitment to the Company. The
          Company desires to receive the benefits derived from the services of
          the Participants, to identify the continued interests of the
          Participants with the future success of the Company, and to provide an
          incentive compensation plan to encourage sustained achievement of the

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

          5.1.   Timing of the Calculation
                 -------------------------

          The calculations necessary to obtain the Performance Factor for the
          Year most recently ended shall be made no later than February 21st of
          the subsequent calendar year. Such calculation shall be carried out in
          accordance with this Section.

                                       6
<PAGE>

          5.2.  Calculation of the Performance Factor
                ------------------------------------

          The Performance Factor for the Year is calculated using two
          Components.

          The first component of the Performance Factor is calculated using the
          Table contained in Appendix A. The Table, which corresponds to the
          difference between the Actual Excess Return and Target Excess Return,
          where such difference is calculated by subtracting (i) the Target
          Excess Return, from (ii), the Actual Excess Return achieved for the
          Year. The second Component of the Performance Factor is calculated by
          comparing the actual Net Sales Growth Rate to Minimum Net Sales Growth
          Rate, Target Sales Growth Rate and Maximum Net Sales Growth Rate. If
          the actual Net Sales Growth Rate is equal to the Target Net Sales
          Growth Rate then the Performance factor for this Component will equal
          one (1). Performance factors for an actual Net Sales Growth Rate
          greater than the Target Net Sales Growth Rate but less than or equal
          to the Maximum Net Sales Growth Rate shall be computed by
          interpolation between one (1) and up to and including three (3).
          Performance Factors for an actual Net Sales Growth Rate less than the
          Target Net Sales Growth rate but greater than or equal to the Minimum
          Net Sales Growth Rate shall be computed by interpolation between one
          (1) and down to and including zero (0).

          The Performance Factor is then calculated as the weighted average of
          each Component using the Component Weights for the Plan Year.

          5.3.  Calculation of Distributions and Bank Debits and Credits
                --------------------------------------------------------

          Distributions shall be determined in accordance with the provisions
          contained in Appendix B, Determination of Distributions and Bank
          Balances.

          Example calculations are shown in Appendix C and are incorporated by
          reference herein and form a part of the Plan.

          5.4.  De Minimus Bank Balances
                ------------------------

          If after determination of the Distribution for the Year, the Bank
          balance is positive but less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00),
          then such balance will be added to the Distribution for the Year and
          the Bank balance will thereby be brought to zero.

          5.5.  Calculation of Award Distributions and Credits and Debits to
                ------------------------------------------------------------
                Participants' Banks When a Participant has Multiple
                ---------------------------------------------------
                Participation Bases
                -------------------

          In the event a Participant has been assigned multiple Participation
          Bases for a Year, then Awards, Banks, Performance Factors and Target
          Incentive Amounts shall be calculated separately and independently for
          each Participation Basis of such Participant.

          Banks shall be maintained separately for debits and credits from each
          Participation Basis. Debits or credits from one Participation Basis
          may not be charged or credited against a Bank of another Participation
          Basis.

                                       7
<PAGE>

          Example calculations are shown in Appendix C and are incorporated by
          reference herein and form a part of the Plan.

          5.6.  Changes in Participation Basis During the Year
                ----------------------------------------------

          In the event a Participant experiences a change in Participation Basis
          during a Year, then Awards, Banks, Performance Factors and Target
          Incentive Amounts shall be calculated separately and independently for
          each Participation Basis of such Participant using those portions of
          the Participant's Base Salary actually paid for service while included
          in each separate Participation Basis.

          Banks shall be maintained separately for debits and credits from each
          Participation Basis. Debits or credits from one Participation Basis
          may not be charged or credited against a Bank of another Participation
          Basis.

          Distribution(s) from the Bank for an individual who experiences a
          change in Participation Basis, including a reduction in Target
          Incentive Percent to zero (0), will be the same as such
          Distribution(s) would have been had there been no change in Base
          Salary, Target Incentive Amount or Participation Basis, and such
          Distribution(s) from more than one Participation Basis shall be made
          by applying Sections 5.3 and 5.4 separately and independently to each
          such Participation Basis.

          5.7.  Changes in Target Incentive Percent During the Year
                ---------------------------------------------------

          In the event a Participant experiences a change in Target Incentive
          Percent without experiencing a change in Participation Basis during a
          Year, then Award calculations and Bank adjustments will be made
          separately using those portions of the Participant's Base Salary
          actually paid for service while participating at each separate Target
          Incentive Percent.

          Separate Bank accounts shall not be maintained because of changes in a
          Participant's Target Incentive Percent.

          5.8.   Qualification of Distributions for Other Plans
                 ----------------------------------------------

          Award Distributions and Bank Distributions from the Plan to active
          Participants shall qualify as incentive payments for the purpose of
          any deferred compensation plan(s) maintained by the Company, and as
          such, may be deferred by Participants eligible to defer under the
          terms and conditions of such plan(s). Such eligibility for deferral is
          not automatic and shall only be as authorized for eligible employees
          under the rules of such plan(s). Notwithstanding anything to the
          contrary in such plan(s), no portion of any Award or any Bank, prior
          to actual Distribution, shall qualify for the purposes of deferral
          under the terms and conditions of such plan(s).

                                       8

          5.9.  Taxes; Withholding
                ------------------

          To the extent required by law, the Company shall withhold from all
          cash Distributions made hereunder any amount required to be withheld
          by the federal and any state, provincial or local government.

6.   Distributions Following Termination

          6.1.  Eligibility
                -----------

          A Participant who terminates prior to December 31 of a Year shall not
          be eligible for any Distribution for such Year or any future
          Distributions, unless such termination is by reason of Retirement,
          death or Disability.

          6.2.  Distributions for the Year of Retirement, Death or Disability
                -------------------------------------------------------------

                Death or Disability
                -------------------

          Bank Distributions to a Participant in the year immediately following
          the Year of such Participant's Retirement, death or Disability shall
          be calculated in the same way as for all other Participants, except
          that no adjustments for performance achieved beyond the Year of death
          or Disability shall be allowed in the case of Participants who have
          experienced a termination by reason of death or Disability.
          Adjustments to the Banks for individuals who have experienced a
          Retirement will be the same as for all other Participants for the Year
          of Retirement. Bank adjustments, if any, for the year immediately
          subsequent to the Year of Retirement for such Participant may only be
          negative. Such calculations will be based upon the Participant's
          Target Incentive Amount for the twelve months immediately preceding
          retirement.

          Complete Distribution of Banks of Participants who have experienced a
          termination by reason of Retirement, death or Disability shall be
          accomplished no later than the Distribution Date for the Year
          following the Year of Retirement, death or Disability.

          6.4.  Obligation for Negative Bank Balances
                -------------------------------------

          If, after the Distribution made for the Year of Retirement, death or
          Disability, the Participant's Bank balance is negative, then such Bank
          balance will be eliminated without further obligation of the
          Participant to the Company. Participants who terminate for reasons
          other than Retirement, death or Disability and at the time of
          termination have a negative Bank balance will have no obligation to
          the Company related to the negative Bank balance.

          time, to designate and/or change or cancel any person/persons or
          entity as to his Beneficiary (both principal and contingent) to whom
          Distribution of Award(s) and/or Bank(s) under this Plan shall be made
          in the event of such Participant's death prior to a Distribution. Any
          Beneficiary change or cancellation shall become effective only when
          filed in writing with the Committee during the Participant's lifetime
          on a form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Company.

          The filing of a new Beneficiary designation form will cancel all
          Beneficiary designations previously filed. Any finalized divorce of a
          Participant subsequent to the date of filing of a Beneficiary
          designation form shall revoke any prior designation of the divorced
          spouse as a Beneficiary. The spouse of a Participant domiciled in a
          community property jurisdiction shall be required to join in any
          designation of Beneficiary other than the spouse in order for the
          Beneficiary designation to be effective.

          If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above,
          or, if such Beneficiary designation is revoked by divorce, or
          otherwise, without execution of a new designation, or if all
          designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, then the
          Distribution shall be made to the Participant's estate.

          Company's obligation under the Plan shall be that of an unfunded and
          unsecured promise to pay money in the future, and there shall be no
          obligation to establish any fund, any security or any otherwise
          restricted asset, in order to provide for the payment of amounts under
          the Plan.

          8.2.  Obligations To The Employer
                ---------------------------

          If a Participant becomes entitled to a Distribution under the Plan,
          and, if, at the time of the Distribution, such Participant has
          outstanding any debt, obligation or other liability representing an
          amount owed to the Employer, then the Employer may offset such amounts
          owing to it or any affiliate against the amount of any Distribution.
          Such determination shall be made by the Committee. Any election by the
          Committee not to reduce any Distribution shall not constitute a waiver
          of any claim for any outstanding debt, obligation, or other liability
          representing an amount owed to the Employer.

          8.3.  Nonassignability

          commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or
          otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of
          actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part

          prior to actual Distribution, shall be subject to seizure or
          sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or
          separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor
          shall it be transferable by operation of law in the event of the
          Participant's or any other persons bankruptcy or insolvency.

          8.4.  Employment or Future Eligibility to Participate - Not Guaranteed

          construed as a contract of employment or as giving any Eligible
          Employee or any Participant or any former Participant any right to be
          retained in the employ of the Employer. Designation as an Eligible
          Employee or as a Participant is on a year-by-year basis and may or may
          not be renewed for any employment years not yet commenced.

          8.5.  Gender, Singular and Plural
                ---------------------------

          All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to

          persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may be
          read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

          8.6.  Captions

9.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan
     -------------------------------------

          9.1.  Amendment
                ---------

          The Committee may at any time amend the Plan in whole or in part
          provided, however, that no amendment shall be effective to affect the
          Participant's right to designate a beneficiary.

          9.2.  Termination of the Plan
                -----------------------

               a.   Employer's Right to Terminate. The Committee may at any time
                    -----------------------------
               terminate the Plan as to prospective earning of Awards, if it
               determines in good faith that the continuation of the Plan is not
               in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. No such
               termination of the Plan shall reduce any Distribution already
               made.

               b.   Payments Upon Termination of the Plan.  Upon any termination
                    -------------------------------------
               of the Plan under this Section, Awards for future years shall not
               be made. With respect to the Year in which such termination takes
               place, the employer will pay to each Participant the
               Participant's Award for such Year or partial Year, less any
               applicable taxes on the first day of March in the calendar year
               following the year of termination of the Plan. Bank Distributions
               shall be made in their entirety to the Participants on the first
               day of March in the calendar year following the year of
               termination of the Plan.

 NOTE:   Reference to the Performance Factor (PF) means that amount obtained by
         multiplying the Target Incentive Amount by the Performance Factor
         (PF) for the year

 Participant's Base Salary = $50,000
 Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
 Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
 Performance Factor = 1.25
 Bank Balance = $0.00

 Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
         1.25 * 20% * $50,000 = $12,500

 Step 2: 2 * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Twice Target Incentive
         Amount
         2 * 20% * $50,000 = $20,000

 Step 3: Compare Award to Twice Target Incentive Amount. If Award is greater
 than Twice Target Incentive Amount, then the Award Distribution is 2 * Target
 Incentive Amount and the excess of twice the Target Incentive Amount is a
 credit to the Bank.

 THEREFORE:  Distribution = $12,500
             Bank Balance = $0.00

 Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
 Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
 Performance Factor = 3.00
 Bank Balance = $0.00

 Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
         3.00 * 20% * $50,000 = $30,000

 Step 2: 2 * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Twice Target Incentive
         Amount
         2 * 20% * $50,000 = $20,000

 Step 3: Compare Award to Twice Target Incentive Amount. If Award is greater
 than Twice Target Incentive Amount, then the Award Distribution is 2 * Target
 Incentive Amount and the excess of twice the Target Incentive Amount is a
 credit to the Bank.

 THEREFORE:  Distribution = $20,000
             Bank Balance = $10,000

 Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
 Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
 Performance Factor = <.75>
 Bank Balance = $0.00

 Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
         <.75> * 20% * $50,000 = <$7,500>
         Negative Awards are applied only to the Bank

 Step 2: 2 * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Twice Target Incentive
         Amount
         2 * 20% * $50,000 = $20,000

 Step 3: The negative Award is applied to the Bank which results in a negative
         Bank Balance.

 THEREFORE:     Distribution = $0.00
                Bank Balance = <$7,500>

                                                                              17

Participant's Base Salary = $50,000
Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
Performance Factor = 3.00
Bank Balance = $9,000

Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
        3.00* 20% * $50,000 = $30,000

Step 2: 2 * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Twice Target Incentive
        Amount
        2 * 20% * $50,000 = $20,000

Step 3: If Award is greater than Twice Target Incentive Amount, then the Award
Distribution is 2 * Target Incentive Amount plus one-third of the Beginning
Bank. The excess of Twice Target Incentive Amount is credited to the Bank.

THEREFORE:     Distribution = $20,000 + $3,000 = $23,000
               Bank Balance = $9,000 - 3,000 + $10,000 = $16,000

                                                                              18

                    Performance Factor is Greater Than Zero
                         but Less Than or Equal to 2.0

Participant's Base Salary = $50,000
Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
Performance Factor = 1.25
Bank Balance = $9,000

Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
        1.25* 20% * $50,000 = $12,500

Step 2: 2 * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Twice Target Incentive
        Amount
        2 * 20% * $50,000 = $20,000

Step 3: One third of the Beginning Bank is distributed to the individual and the
Bank is reduced by this amount. Distribution is the Award plus Bank
distribution.

THEREFORE:     Distribution = $12,500 + $3,000 = $15,500
               Bank Balance = $9,000 - $3,000 = $6,000

                                                                              19

                                   Example 5
                           Beginning Bank is Positive
                 Performance Factor is Less Than or Equal Zero

Participant's Base Salary = $50,000
Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000 * 20%)
Performance Factor = <.75>
Bank Balance = $9,000

Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
        <.75>* 20% * $50,000 = <$7,500>

Step 2: 2 * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Twice Target Incentive
        Amount
        2 * 20% * $50,000 = $20,000

Step 3: Distribution equals one-third of Beginning Bank less the absolute value
of the award, so long as the difference is positive; if the difference is
negative, then zero. Beginning Bank is reduced by one-third plus any negative
difference in determining the Distribution.

THEREFORE:   Distribution = $3,000 - <$7,500> = <$4,500>
             Therefore DISTRIBUTION = $0.00
             Bank Balance = $9,000 - $3,000 + <4,500> = $1,500

                                                                              20

                           Beginning Bank is Negative
                      Performance Factor is Greater Than 2

Participant's Base Salary = $50,000
Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
Performance Factor = 2.50
Bank Balance = <$12,000>

Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
        2.50* 20% * $50,000 = $25,000

Step 2: 2 * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Twice Target Incentive
        Amount
        2 * 20% * $50,000 = $20,000

Step 3: Distribution equals Award less one-third Award but not greater than
negative Beginning Bank, subject to a maximum Distribution of 2; if the Award
after reduction of bank distribution and maximum payout of 2 is positive, then
it is applied to the Bank. Beginning Bank is reduced by one-third of Award but
not greater than the negative Beginning Bank, if Distribution after reduction of
one-third Award and maximum of 2 is payout is positive, then it is applied to
the Bank.

                THEREFORE: Distribution = $25,000 - $8,333 = $16,667
                Maximum Distribution is $20,000
                Therefore DISTRIBUTION = $16,667
                Bank Balance = <$12,000> - <$8,333> = <$3,667>

                           Beginning Bank is Negative
                    Performance Factor is Greater Than Zero
                         but Less Than or Equal to 2.0

Participant's Base Salary = $50,000
Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
Performance Factor = 1.75
Bank Balance = <$12,000>

Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
        1.75 * 20% * $50,000 = $17,500

Step 2: One-third of Award = Bank Distribution
        1/3 * $17,500 = $5,833.33

Step 3: Distribution equals Award less bank distribution. Reduced by one-third
of the Award provided the Performance Factor is greater than or equal to 1.50.
Otherwise, reduced by the excess of the Award over a 1.0 Performance Factor, if
any.

THEREFORE:     Distribution = $12,500 - $0 = $12,500
               Bank Balance = <$12,000>

                                                                              22

                                  Example 7-B
                           Beginning Bank is Negative
                    Performance Factor is Greater Than Zero
                         but Less Than or Equal to 2.0

Participant's Base Salary = $50,000
Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
Performance Factor = 1.25
Bank Balance = ($12,000)

Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
        1.25 * 20% * $50,000 = $12,500

Step 2: (Performance Factor - 1.0) * Target Incentive Amount = Bank Distribution
        (1.25 - 1.0) * $10,000 = $2,500

Step 3: Distribution equals Award less bank distribution. Reduced by one-third
of the Award provided the Performance Factor is greater than or equal to 1.50.
Otherwise, reduced by the excess of the Award over a 1.0 Performance Factor, if
any.

THEREFORE:    Distribution = $12,500 - $2,500 = $10,000 (Target Incentive
              Amount)
              Bank Balance = ($12,000) + $2,500 = ($9,500)

                                                                              23

                                  Example 7-C
                           Beginning Bank is Negative
                    Performance Factor is Greater Than Zero
                         but Less Than or Equal to 2.0

Participant's Base Salary = $50,000
Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
Performance Factor = .75
Bank Balance = <$12,000>

Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
        .75 * 20% * $50,000 = $7,500

Step 2: Distribution equals Award less bank distribution. Reduced by one-third
of the Award provided the Performance Factor is greater than or equal to 1.50.
Otherwise, reduced by the excess of the Award over a 1.0 Performance Factor, if
any. If Performance Factor is less than or equal to 1.0, then Award equals
Performance Factor times Target Incentive Amount.

THEREFORE: Distribution = $7,500 - $0 = $7500
           Bank Balance = <$12,000> + $0 = <$12,000>

                                                                              24

                                   Example 8
                           Beginning Bank is Negative
                Performance Factor is Less than or Equal to Zero

Participant's Base Salary = $50,000
Participant's Target Incentive Percent = 20%
Participant's Target Incentive Amount = $10,000 ($50,000* 20%)
Performance Factor = <1.25>
Bank Balance = <$12,000>

Step 1: Performance Factor * Target Incentive Percent * Base Salary = Award
        <1.25> * 20% * $50,000 = <$12,500>

Step 2: 2 * Target Incentive Percent *Base Salary = Twice Target Incentive
        Amount
        2 * 20% * $50,000 = $20,000

Step 3: Distribution equals Award less one-third of Beginning Bank so long as
the difference is positive, or zero if difference is negative. Beginning Bank is
reduced by the lesser of the absolute value of the award or one-third of the
negative Beginning Bank.

THEREFORE:      Distribution = $0.00
                Bank Balance = <$12,000> + <$12,500> = <$24,500>

                                                                              25
