and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the leased premises as a part of
thereof on this lease. Such alterations, additions, and improvements may only be
made with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. If consent is granted for the making of improvements or
alterations to the leased premises, such improvements and alterations shall not
commence until Tenant has furnished to Landlord a certificate of insurance
showing coverage in an amount satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord from
liability for injury to any person and damage to any personal property, on or
off the leased premises, in connection with the making of such improvements or
alterations. No cooling tower, equipment, or structure of any kind shall be
placed on the roof or elsewhere on the leased premises by Tenant without prior
written permission of Landlord. If such permission is granted, such work or
installation shall be done at Tenant's expense and in such a manner that the
roof shall not be damaged thereby. If it becomes necessary to remove such
cooling tower, equipment or structure temporarily, so that repairs to the roof
can be made, Tenant shall promptly repair at its expense any damages resulting
from such removal. At the termination of this lease, Tenant shall deliver the
leased premises in good order and condition, natural deterioration only
excepted. Any damage caused by the installation or removal of trade fixtures
shall be repaired at Tenant's expense prior to the expiration of the lease term.
All alterations, improvements, additions, and repairs made by Tenant shall be
made in good and workmanlike manner.

11.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.  Tenant shall, at its own expense,
comply with all laws, orders, and requirements of all governmental entities with
reference to the use and occupancy of the leased premises. Tenant and Tenant's
agents, employees and invitees shall fully comply with any rules and regulations
governing the use of the buildings or other improvements to the leased premises
as required by Landlord. Landlord may make reasonable changes in such rules and
regulations from time to time as deemed advisable for the safety, care and
cleanliness of the leased premises, provided same are in writing and are not in
conflict with the lease.

12.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.  Tenant shall not assign this lease nor sublet
the leased premises or any interest therein without first obtaining the written
consent of Landlord.  An assignment or subletting without the written consent of
Landlord shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this
lease.

13. DESTRUCTION. In the event the leased premises is partially damaged or
destroyed or rendered partially unfit for occupancy by fire or other casualty,
Tenant shall give immediate notice to Landlord. Landlord may repair the damage
and restore the leased premises to substantially the same condition as
immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty. Such repairs shall be made
at Landlord's expense unless due to Tenant's negligence. Landlord shall allow
Tenant a fair reduction of rent during the time the leased premises are
partially unfit for occupancy. If the leased premises are totally destroyed or
deemed by Landlord to be rendered unfit for occupancy by fire or other casualty,
or if Landlord shall decide not to repair or rebuild, this lease shall terminate
and the rent shall be paid to the time of such casualty.

14.  TENANT DEFAULT AND REMOVAL OF ABANDONED PROPERTY.  If Tenant abandons the
premises or otherwise defaults in the performance of any obligations or
covenants herein, Landlord may enforce the performance of this lease in any
manner provided by law. This lease may be terminated at Landlord's discretion if
such abandonment or default continues for a period of 10 days after Landlord
notifies Tenant of such abandonment or default and of Landlord's intention to
declare this lease terminated. Such notice shall be sent by Landlord to Tenant
to Tenant's last known address by certified mail. If Tenant has not completely
removed or cured default within the 10-day period, this lease shall terminate.
Thereafter, Landlord or its agents shall have the right, without further notice
or demand, to enter the leased premises and remove all property without being
deemed guilty of trespass and without waiving any other remedies for arrears of
rent or breach of covenant. Upon abandonment or default by the Tenant, the
remaining unpaid portion of the rental from paragraph 4 herein, shall become due
and payable. For purposes of this section, Tenant is presumed to have abandoned
the premises if goods, equipment, or other property, in an amount substantial
enough to indicate a probable intent to abandon the premises, is being or has
been removed from the premises and the removal is not within the normal course
of Tenant's business. Landlord shall have the right to store any property of
Tenant that remains on premises that are abandoned; and, in addition to
Landlord's other rights, Landlord may dispose of the stored property if Tenant
does not claim the property within 60 days after the date the property is
stored, provided Landlord delivers by certified mail to Tenant at Tenant's last
known address a notice stating that Landlord may dispose of Tenant's property if
Tenant does not claim the property within 60 days after the date the property is
stored.

15.  INTERRUPTION OF UTILITIES.  Landlord or Landlord's agent may not interrupt
or cause interruption of utility service paid directly to the utility company
by Tenant unless interruption results from bona fide repairs, construction, or
an emergency.  If any utility services furnished by Landlord are interrupted and
continue to be interrupted despite the good faith efforts of Landlord to remedy
same,  Landlord shall not be liable in any respect for damages to the person or
property of Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents, or guests and shame shall not
be construed as grounds for constructive eviction or abatement of rent. Landlord
shall use reasonable diligence to repair and remedy such interruption promptly.

16.  EXCLUSION OF TENANT.  Landlord may not intentionally prevent Tenant from
entering the leased premises except by judicial process unless the exclusion
results from: (a) bona fide repairs, construction, or an emergency: (b) removing
the contents of premises abandoned by Tenant or (c) changing  the door locks of
Tenant in the event Tenant is delinquent in paying at least part of the rent.
If Landlord or Landlord's agent changes the door lock of Tenant, in the event
Tenant is delinquent in paying rent, Landlord or Landlord's agent must place a
written notice on Tenant's front door stating the name and address or telephone
number of the individual or company from which the new key may be obtained. The
new key is required to be provided only during Tenant's regular business hours.

lien provided by law, and a security interest in all property of Tenant found on
the leased premises to secure the compliance by Tenant with all terms of this
lease.

18. SUBORDINATION. Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and
authority to subordinate this lease to any mortgage, deed of Trust, or other
lien hereafter placed on the demised premises and Tenant agrees on demand to
execute such further instruments subordinating this lease as Landlord may
request, provided such subordination shall be on the express condition that this

buildings or such other equitable apportionment as may be adopted. Such monthly
estimated amount shall be paid by Lessee on or before the first day of each
month. Lessor, annually or upon termination hereof, shall compute Lessee's
actual pro-rata share of such expenses. Any overpayment shall be refunded or
credited to Lessee, at its option, and any deficiency shall be paid by Lessee
within fifteen (15) days after date of Lessor's statement. Lessor's records
showing expenditures made for such expenses shall be available for Lessee's
inspection at any reasonable time.

        9. LESSOR'S RESERVATIONS. Lessor reserves the right without liability to
Lessee: (a) to inspect the Premises, to show them to prospective tenants, and if
they are vacated to prepare them for reoccupancy; (b) to retain at all times and
to use in appropriate instances keys to which only authorized building personnel
have access to doors within and into the Premises; (c) to make repairs,
alterations, additions or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in or
about the buildings, and for such purposes to enter upon the premises and during
the continuance of any work, to close common areas and to interrupt or
temporarily suspend building services and facilities, all without affecting any
of Lessee's obligations hereunder, so long as the Premises are reasonably
accessible; and (d) generally to perform any acts relating to the safety,
protection and preservation of Premises or building.

       10.  POSSESSION.  If Lessor fails to deliver possession of the Premises
at commencement date of the term hereof, Lessee may give Lessor written notice
of its intention to cancel this Lease unless possession is delivered within
sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice by Lessor; provided such
commencement date shall be extended a period of time equal to the period of any
delays resulting from causes beyond Lessor's control.  Lessor shall not be
liable for any damages caused by failure to deliver possession of Premises and
Lessee shall not be liable for any rent until such time as Lessor delivers
possession.  A delay in possession shall not extend the term of the termination
date.  If Lessor offers possession of the Premises prior to the commencement
date of the term of this Lease, and if Lessee accepts such early possession,
both parties shall be bound by the terms hereof during such period, including
the payment of rent, which shall be prorated.

       11.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.  Lessee shall not either voluntarily or
by operation of law assign, transfer, convey or encumber this Lease or any
interest under it, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or allow any
other person to occupy or use the Premises without Lessor's prior written
consent.  Lessor reserves the right to recapture within twenty (20) days after
receipt of a written request for assignment of subletting.  Such recapture shall
terminate this Lease as of the proposed date of assignment or subletting, which
shall be the last day of a calendar month and not earlier than ninety (90) days
after receipt of Lessee's request hereunder.
        In the event that Lessor shall not elect to recapture the Premises and
shall thereafter give its consent, Lessee shall pay Lessor a reasonable fee, not
to exceed $500.00, to reimburse Lessor for processing costs.  Lessor's consent,
if given, shall not release or discharge Lessee from any liability under this
Lease and shall not be deemed consent to any future assignment or sublease.  Any
assignment or

                                       2
<PAGE>

subletting without Lessor's consent shall be void, and shall constitute a
default under this Lease.  A transfer by the present majority shareholders of
ownership or control of a majority of the voting stock of a corporate Lessee
shall be deemed an assignment for the purposes of this paragraph.  Lessor
acknowledges that from time to time Lessee may require the services of an
independent contractor for which space in the Premised would be provided by
Lessee.  Provided said contractor shall not occupy more than 500 square feet,
Lessor's written approval per the terms of this paragraph shall not be required.
In any event, prior to occupancy of any independent contractor for 500 square
feet or less, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing as to the name of the
contractor and the term of its occupancy in the Premises.

        12.  ALTERATIONS.  After prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee may but
is not obligated to make minor alterations, additions and improvements in the
Premises at its sole cost and expense.  In the performance or such work, Lessee
shall save  Lessor harmless from any damage, loss, or expense and shall comply
with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any proper public authority.
Upon termination of this Lease, such alterations, additions and improvements
made in, to or on the Premises (including without limitation partitions,
draperies, carpeting, lighting and other physically attached fixtures) shall
remain upon and be surrendered as a part of the Premises; provide, however, that
upon Lessor's written request, Lessee shall promptly remove such additions,
alterations, or improvements, repair any damage caused thereby and restore the
Premises to its original condition at Lessee's sole cost and expense.

        13.  SIGNS.  Lessee shall not paint or install any signs or symbols on
the exterior doors, plate glass or walls of the premises or install any
electrically lighted signs in or upon the Premises, without the prior written
consent of Lessor.  No showcases or other fixtures or objects shall be placed by
Lessee inside or outside of the buildings, in the corridors, or elsewhere in or
about the buildings, other than within the Premises.  No sign, tag, label,
picture, advertisement, or notice (other than price tags of customary size used
in marking samples) shall be displayed, distributed, inscribed, painted or
affixed by Lessee on any part of the outside or inside of the buildings or the
Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor.

        14.  ACCIDENTS AND LIABILITY.  Lessor or its agents shall not be liable
for any injury or damage to persons or property sustained by Lessee or others in
and about the Premises or the buildings, except to the extent caused by Lessor's
negligence, if any.  Lessee agrees to defend and hold Lessor and its agents
harmless from any claim, action and/or judgement for injury or damage to persons
or property suffered in or about the Premise by any person, firm or corporation,
except to the extent caused by Lessor's negligence, if any.  Lessee shall, at
its expense, carry public liability insurance to afford minimum protection to
the combined limit of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00)
or such other reasonable amount as Lessor may require in respect to injury or
damage to persons or property.  Lessee shall submit a certificate of such
insurance to Lessor and such insurance shall not be cancelable without thirty
(30) days prior written notice thereof to Lessor.

        15.  DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.  If the Premises or the building shall be
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Lessor shall have the option
either (a) to repair or rebuild within one hundred eighty (180) days, or (b)
not to repair or rebuild, and to cancel this Lease on thirty (30) days notice.
If Lessor fails to give Lessee written notice of its election within thirty (30)
days from the date of damage, or if the restoration of the Premises cannot be
completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from date of notice, Lessee may
cancel this Lease on thirty (30) days notice. During the period of
untenantability, rent shall abate in the same ratio as the portion of the
Premises rendered untenantable bears to the whole of the Premises.

        16. EMINENT DOMAIN. If the whole of the Premises shall be taken by any
public authority under the power of eminent domain, or purchased by the
condemnor in lieu thereof, the term of this Lease shall cease as of the date
possession is taken by such public authority. If only a part of the Premises
shall be so taken, the Lease shall terminate only as to the portion taken, and
shall continue in full force and effect as to the remainder of said Premises,
and the monthly rent shall be reduced proportionately; provided, however, if the
remainder of the Premises cannot be made tenantable for the purposes for which
Lessee has been using the Premises or if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of
the rental square footage of the Premises shall be so taken, either party by
written notice to the other, given at least thirty (30) days prior to the date
that possession must be surrendered to the public authority, may terminate this
Lease effective as of such surrender of possession. If any part of the buildings
other than the Premises shall be so taken so as to render in Lessor's opinion
the termination of this Lease beneficial to the remaining portion of the
buildings, Lessor shall have the right within sixty (60) days of said taking to
terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to Lessee. In the
event of any taking, whether whole or partial, Lessor shall be entitled to all
awards, settlement, or compensation which may be given for the land and
buildings. Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for the value of any
unexpired term of this Lease.

                                       3
<PAGE>

        17.  LIENS AND INSOLVENCY.   Lessee shall keep the Premises and Lessee's
interest therein free from any liens arising out of any work performed for,
materials furnished to, or obligations incurred by Lessee and shall hold Lessor
harmless therefrom.  If Lessee shall be declared insolvent or bankrupt, or if
Lessee's leasehold interest herein shall be levied upon or seized under writ of
any court of law, or if a trustee, receiver or assignee be appointed for the
property of Lessee, whether under operation of State or Federal statutes, then
Lessor may, at its option, immediately (notice being expressly waived) terminate
this Lease and take possession of said Premises, without terminating Lessee's
obligations hereunder.

        18.  DEFAULT AND REENTRY.  If Lessee fails to keep or perform any of the
covenants and agreements herein contained, then the same shall constitute a
breach hereof.  If Lessee has not remedied such breach within three (3) days
after written notice thereof from Lessor if the breach is non-payment of rent or
other charges, or within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from
Lessor in event of the breach of any other covenant, then Lessor may, at its
option, without further notice or demand:

        (a)  Cure such breach for the account and at the expense of Lessee and
such expense shall be deemed additional rent due on the first of the following
month or:

        (b)  Reenter the premises, remove all persons therefrom, take possession
of the Premises and remove all equipment, fixtures, and personal therein at
Lessee's risk and expense, and (1) terminate this Lease, or (2) without
terminating the Lease or in any way affecting the rights and remedies of Lessor
or the obligations of Lessee, re-let the whole or any part of the Premises as
agent for Lessee, upon such terms and conditions and for such term as Lessor may
deem advisable.  In either event, the rents received and any last month's rent
deposit held under this Lease may first be applied by Lessor to the costs and
expenses of re-letting, including without limitation, cleaning and necessary
renovation and alteration, and the balance of such rent shall be applied toward
payment of all sums due or to become due to Lessor hereunder, and Lessee shall
pay to Lessor any deficiency; however, Lessor shall not be required to pay any
excess to Lessee.  The above remedies of Lessor are cumulative and in addition
to any other remedies now or hereafter allowed by law or elsewhere provided for
in this Lease.

        19.  REMOVAL OF PROPERTY.  Any goods or fixtures of Lessee removed by
Lessor in accordance with paragraph 18 above may be stored by Lessor at the cost
and expense of Lessee or may be deposited on any sidewalk or delivery area
adjacent to the buildings, at the sole risk of the Lessee and without any
further responsibility on the part of Lessor and Lessor may without removing
said goods or fixtures or dispose of the same at public or private sale for the
account of Lessee, in which event the proceeds may be applied by Lessor upon any
indebtedness due from Lessee to Lessor. Lessee hereby waives all claims for
damages that may be cause by Lessor re-entering and taking possession of the
Premises and removing or disposing of said goods and fixtures as herein
provided.

        20.  COSTS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES.  If by reason of any default or breach
on the part of either party in the performance of any of the provisions of this
Lease, a legal action is instituted, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
all reasonable costs and attorney's fees in connection therewith.  Any action
brought hereunder shall be maintained in the Superior Court in King County,
Washington.

        21.  SUBROGATION WAIVER.  Lessor and Lessee each herewith and hereby
releases and relieves the other and waives its entire right of recovery against
the other for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils described
in "all risk" insurance policies, including earthquake and flood insurance
endorsements, approve for use in the State of Washington which occurs in, on or
about the Premises, whether due to the negligence of either party, their agents,
employees or otherwise.

        22.  RELOCATION OF PREMISES.  Lessee agrees that Lessor may at any time
during the term or any extension hereof after at least ninety (90) days prior
written notice, require Lessee to move to other space elsewhere in the buildings
at the cost of Lessor.  In lieu of such relocation, Lessee shall have the option
to terminate this lease, effective on the date Lessee is required to move, by
written notice to Lessor within fifteen (15) days after delivery of Lessor's
notice.

        23.  HOLDING OVER.  If Lessee, with the implied or express consent of
Lessor, shall hold over after the expiration of the term of this Lease, Lessee
shall remain bound by all the covenants and agreements herein, except that the
tenancy shall be from month to month, and the monthly rent shall be in
accordance with the then-current schedule published by Lessor for the buildings.

        24.  SUBORDINATION.  Lessee agrees that this Lease shall be subordinate
to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust now or hereafter placed against
the real property of which the Premises comprise a part, and to all renewals and
modifications, supplements, consolidations and extensions thereof; provided,
however, in the event that any mortgage or beneficiary shall elect to
subordinate its lien to this

                                       4
<PAGE>

Lease, Lessor reserves the right to subordinate said mortgage lien to this Lease
upon the terms required by such mortgagee or beneficiary.

        25. SURRENDER OF POSSESSION. Lessee, prior to the termination of this
Lease or of Lessee's right to possession, shall remove from the Premises all of
Lessee's furniture, trade fixtures and other unattached personal property, and
such alterations, additions, improvements or signs required by Lessor to be
removed, and shall repair or pay for all damage to the Premises caused by such
removal. All such property remaining and every interest of Lessee in the same
shall be conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Lessee or Lessor under
this Lease as a bill of sale, without compensation, allowance, or credit to
Lessee. Lessee shall upon termination of this Lease or of Lessee's right of
possession, deliver all keys to Lessor and peacefully quit and surrender the
Premises without notice, neat and clean, and in as good condition as when Lessee
took possession, except for reasonable wear and tear as determined by Lessor.

        26.  LATE PAYMENT AND INTEREST.  If any amount due from Lessee is not
received in the office of Lessor on or before the fifth (5th) day following the
date upon which such amount is due and payable, a late charge of five percent
(5%) of said amount shall become immediately due and payable, which late charge
Lessor and Lessee agree represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
processing and accounting costs that Lessor will incur by reason of such late
payment.  All past due amounts owing to Lessor under this Lease, including rent,
shall be assessed interest at the annual percentage rate of eighteen percent
(18%) from the date due or date of invoice, whichever is earlier, until paid.

        27.  NOTICE.  Any notice required to be given by either party to the
other pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or any law, present or future,
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or sent if
delivered personally or if properly deposited in the United States Mail by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the Lessor
at P.O. Box C-34936, Dept.3073, Seattle, WA 98124 or to Lessee at the following

writing from time to time:

        5701 Sixth Avenue South, Suite 503, Seattle, WA 98108

        30. NO WAIVER OF COVENANTS. Time is of the essence of this Lease. Any
waier by either party of any breach hereof by the other shall not be considered
a waiver of any future similar or other breach. This Lease contains all the
agreements between the parties; and there shall be no modification of the
agreements contained herein except by written instrument.

        31. BINDING OF HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The covenants and
agreements of this Lease shall be binding upon the heirs, executors,
administrations, successors and assigns of both parties hereto, except as
hereinabove provided.

        32. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor, in connection
with its mortgage financing upon the real property of which the Premises are a
part, may assign this Lease for additional security purposes, and that pursuant
to the terms of that assignment, unless and until the Lessee shall have received
notice from such lender to the contrary, Lessee shall pay all rents and other
monies due under this Lease to Lessor as specified herein.

                                      5

<PAGE>

        33.  PAYMENTS TO LESSOR.  In the event any payment due from Lessee to
Lessor is made by a party other than Lessee, such payments shall be deemed to
have been made by and for the account of Lessee, and the party making such
payment shall have no rights under this Lease.

        34.  CORPORATE AUTHORITY.  Lessee warrants that al necessary corporate
actions have been duly taken to permit Lessee to enter into this Lease and that
each undersigned officer has been duly authorized and instructed to execute this
Lease.

        35.  LIABILITY OF LESSOR. Lessee agrees that no trustee, officer,
employee, agent, or individual partner of Lessor, or its constituent, entitles,
shall be personally liable for any obligation of Lessor hereunder, and that
Lessee must look solely to the interest of Lessor or its constituent entities in
the subject real estate for the enforcement of any claims against Lessor arising
hereunder.

        36.  RENT WAIVER.  Provided Lessee is fully current in all of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease throughout the term hereof, the monthly rent as
provided in Paragraph 3 shall be waived for the month of November 1996 provided
that this Lease does not terminate prior to April 30, 2000.  If for any reason
this Lease does not terminate prior to April 30, 2000, Lessee shall be required
to promptly pay to Lessor, in addition to other charges that may be due, one (1)

improvements.  Lessee shall return signed plans to Lessor within five (5) days.
In the event that the plans are not approved by Lessee, Lessee shall inform
Lessor of the reasons for such disapproval and Lessee shall have five (5) days

specifications.  Any objections Lessee has to Lessor's objection shall be
submitted to Lessor in writing within such five (5) day period.  A failure of

associated with additional tenant improvements required above and beyond Fifty
Six Thousand Two Hundred Five and no/100 Dollars ($56,205.00).  Prior to Lessor
commencing work on any additional improvements, Lessee shall pay Lessor 75% of
the Lessor's good faith estimate with the balance due within ten (10) days of
receipt by Lessee or Lessor's request following the completion of additional
improvements.  In the event Lessee does not pay Lessor when such invoice is due,

communicate or otherwise reveal to any person the existence, or any of the
provisions or contents, of this Agreement, except and only to the extent, Lessee
becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents,
subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose the
existence, or any of the provisions or contents, of requirement so that Lessor
may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance
with terms of this Paragraph. Lessee warrants and represents that neither the
provisions nor the intention of this Paragraph have been violated at any time
prior to the execution by Lessee of this Agreement. The violation of the
provisions or the intention of this Paragraph, whether said violation occurred
or occurs prior to, on, or after the execution by Lessee of this Agreement,

                              GUARANTY OF LEASE

        THIS GUARANTY OF LEASE is attached to and is hereby made a part of that
certain Lease dated August 28, 1996 between PACIFIC NORTHWEST GROUP B, a joint
venture, ("Lessor"), and NET INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC., a Washington corporation
("Lessee").

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED and in consideration of and as in inducement to
lessor entering into the Lease, the undersigned guarantor ("Guarantor")
unconditionally and continuously guarantees to Lessor, its successors and
assigns, the full and timely performance and observance by Lessee of all the
terms and conditions of the Lease to be performed and observed by Lessee.

        This Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be
terminated or impaired by reason of the granting by Lessor and any indulgences
to Lessee or the assertion by Lessor against Lessee of any of Lessor's rights or
remedies under the Lease, or by the relief of Lessee from any of Lessee's
obligations under the Lease by operation of law or otherwise, whether or not
Guarantor has received notice of same.  Guarantor waives all suretyship defenses
and waives notice of any breach by Lessee.

        This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect as to any renewal,
amendment, modification, extension, assignment or transfer of the Lease or any
subletting of the Lease premises, whether or not Guarantor shall have received
notice of or consented to the same. The liability or Guarantor under this
Guaranty is primary and absolute, and Lessor may at its option proceed against
Guarantor without proceeding against Lessee. Any action against Guarantor maybe
brought in the county in which the Lease premises are located, or in King
County, Washington, at Lessor's option.

        Lessor's delay or failure to insist upon the strict performance or
observation of any obligation of Lessee under the Lease or to exercise any right
or remedy available under the Lease or at law or inequity, shall not be
construed to be a waiver of Lessor's prerogative to insist upon such strict
performance or observance or to exercise any such right or remedy. Receipt by
Lessor of rent or other payment with knowledge of a breach of any term or
condition of the Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of such breach.

        The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or limited
by: the release or discharge of Lessee in any creditors', receivership,
bankruptcy or other proceedings, the impairment, limitation or modification of
the liability of the Lessee or the estate of the Lessee in bankruptcy, or of any
remedy for the enforcement of Lessee's said liability under the Lease, resulting
from the operation of any present or future provision of the federal bankruptcy
laws or other statutes or from the decision in any court; the rejection or
disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceedings; any disability or other
defense of Lessee; or the cessation, from any cause whatsoever, of the liability
of Lessee.

        Until all terms, conditions and agreements of the Lease are fully
performed and observed by Lessee, Guarantor hereby waives the right to enforce
any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor now has or hereafter shall have
against Lessee by reason of any one or more payments or acts of performance in
compliance with obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor hereby
subordinates any liability or indebtedness of Lessee now or hereafter held by
Guarantor to the obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease.

        This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Lessor, its affiliates,
successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of
Guarantor.

        This Guaranty is irrevocable and may not be changed, affected,
discharged or terminated other than by an agreement in writing signed by
Guarantor and Lessor.

        Guarantor shall pay all court costs and expenses paid or incurred by
Lessor in enforcing either the Lease or this Guaranty, including court costs and
a reasonable amount for legal services performed by counsel, whether employed or
retained by Lessor.

                               GUARANTY OF LEASE

        This guaranty of Lease is attached to and is hereby made a part of that
certain Lease dated August 28, 1996 between Bay West Design Center, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, successor in interest to Pacific Northwest
Group B, a joint venture, ("Lessor"), and Net Information Systems, Inc. a
Washington corporation, which has been assigned to Design Automation Systems,
Inc., a Texas corporation dba EpicEdge ("Lessee"), pursuant to the Assignment
and Assumption of Lessee's Interest and Lessor's Consent dated December 9, 1999
(the "Assignment").

        For value received and in consideration of and as in inducement to
Lessor entering into the Lease and consenting to the Assignment, the undersigned
guarantor ("Guarantor") unconditionally and continuously guarantees to Lessor,
its successors and assigns, the full and timely payment, performance and
observance by Lessee of all terms and conditions of the Lease to be paid,
performed and observed by Lessee.

        This Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be
terminated or impaired by reason of the granting by Lessor of any indulgences
to Lessee or the assertion by Lessor against Lessee of any of Lessor's rights or
remedies under the Lease, or by the relief of Lessee from any of Lessee's
obligations under the Lease by operation of law or otherwise, whether or not
Guarantor has received notice of same.  Guarantor waives all suretyship defenses
and waives notice of any breach by Lessee.

        This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect as to any renewal,
amendment, modification, extension, assignment or transfer of the Lease or any
subletting of the Lease premises, whether or not Guarantor shall have received
notice of or consented to the same.  The liability of Guarantor under this
Guaranty is primary and absolute, and Lessor may at its option proceed against
Guarantor without proceeding against Lessee.  Any action against Guarantor may
be brought in the county in which the Lease premises are located, or in King
County, Washington, at Lessor's option.

        Lessor's delay or failure to insist upon the strict performance or
observance of any obligation of Lessee under the Lease or to exercise any right
or remedy available under the Lease or at law or in equity, shall not be
construed to be a waiver of Lessor's prerogative to insist upon such strict
performance or observance or to exercise any such right or remedy.  Receipt by
Lessor of rent or other payment with knowledge of a breach of any term or
condition of the Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of such breach.

        The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected or limited
by: the release or discharge of Lessee in any creditor's, receivership,
bankruptcy or other proceedings, the impairment, limitation or modification of
the liability of the Lessee or the estate of the Lessee in bankruptcy, or of any
remedy for the enforcement of Lessee's said liability under the Lease, resulting
from operations of any present or future provision of the federal bankruptcy
laws or other statutes or from the decision in any court; the rejection or
disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceedings; any disability or other
defense of Lessee; or the cessation, from any cause whatsoever, of the liability
of Lessee.

        Until all the terms, conditions and agreements of the Lease are fully
performed and observed by Lessee, Guarantor hereby waives the right to enforce
any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor now has or hereafter shall have
against Lessee by reason of any one or more payments or acts of performance in
compliance with the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and Guarantor hereby
subordinates any liability or indebtedness of Lessee now or hereafter held by
Guarantor to the obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease.

        This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Lessor, its affiliates,
successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of
Guarantor.

        This Guaranty is irrevocable and may not be changed, affected,
discharged or terminated other than by an agreement in writing signed by
Guarantor and Lessor.

        Guarantor shall pay all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lessor in
enforcing either the Lease or this Guaranty, including court costs and a
reasonable amount for legal services performed by counsel, whether employed or
retained by Lessor.

        Dated this 20 day of January, 2000.
