possession  of the  Premises  and that  Lessee,  upon  paying the rent and other

                                      384
<PAGE>

4) Incorporation by Reference.

         The terms and  conditions  of Contract  No.  CUC-PG-97-C057  are hereby
incorporated  by reference  into this Lease with the same force and effect as if
fully set forth herein.

5) Term.

         The term of this Lease shall  commence (the  "Commencement  Date") upon
execution  of this Lease and shall  terminate on the date that Lessee turns over
all title and interest in the Plant to Lessor in accordance  with the provisions

of this  Lease  continue  beyond a period of  twenty-five  (25)  years  from the
Commencement Date.

6) Rental and Time for Payment of Rental.

           Upon  execution  of this Lease,  Lessee  shall pay Lessor One Hundred

<PAGE>

10)      Removal of Improvements, Soil, Etc. Not to Constitute Waste;
   Crossing Boundaries.

         Lessee  shall have the right at any time  during the term of this Lease
to alter, demolish or remove any and all improvements on the Premises so long as
such action does not violate the terms of Contract  No.  CUC-PG-97-C057.  Lessee
shall also have the right in connection  with any development of the property to
remove  vegetation and to excavate and to remove sand, soil, and other materials
from the Premises.  In no event shall any such action  constitute  waste and the
Lessor hereby releases Lessee from any obligation to restore the Premises to the
condition  existing upon the  commencement  date of this Lease.  Lessee may also
build,  alter,  demolish or remove improvements which cross one or more boundary
lines  of  the  Premises,  provided  that  Lessee  first  obtains  any  required
governmental or regulatory approval. Lessor agrees to join, assist and cooperate
with Lessee in applying for any such required approval at Lessee's expense.

11)      Assignability and Subleasing - Consent Required

         Lessee may not assign this Lease or any part hereof nor sublet all or a
portion of the Premises without the written consent of the Lessor.  Such consent
when requested shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12)      Condemnation.

         If the entire Premises shall be taken by any lawful authority under the
power of  eminent  domain  then  this  Lease  shall  terminate.  Eminent  domain
proceedings resulting in the condemnation of a part of the Premises, but leaving
the remaining Premises usable by Lessee for the purposes described herein,  will
not terminate this Lease unless Lessee,  at its option,  terminates the Lease by
giving written notice of termination to Lessor.  Any condemnation award shall be
apportioned  between  Lessor and Lessee as may be provided by law at the time of
the execution of this Lease,  except that Lessee shall be entitled to the entire
award made with respect to the improvements on the Premises.

13)      Unavoidable Delay--Force Majeure.

         If either party shall be delayed or prevented  from the  performance of
any act  required  by this  Lease by reason of acts of God,  strikes,  lockouts,
labor troubles,  inability to procure materials,  or other cause,  without fault
and beyond the reasonable  control of the party obligated  (financial  inability
excepted)  performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay;
provided,  however,  nothing in this section shall excuse Lessee from the prompt
payment  of any  rental or other  charge  required  of  Lessee  except as may be
expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease.

                                      386
<PAGE>

14)      Termination.

         If Contract No. CUC-PG-97-C057 is terminated for any reason, then this
Lease shall terminate as well.

15)      Gender.

         The use of any gender shall  include any and all genders and the use of
any number shall be construed as singular or plural, as the case may be.

16)      Paragraph Headings.

         The headings of paragraphs herein are inserted only for convenience and
reference  and  shall in no way  define  or limit  the  scope or  intent  of any
provision of this Lease.

17)      Successors and Assigns.

         This Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon all of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

18)      Counterparts.

         This Lease may be executed in several  counterparts each of which shall
be  deemed  an  original  but all of  which  shall  constitute  one and the same
agreement,  which shall be binding upon all parties hereto  notwithstanding that
all of the parties are not signatories to the same counterpart.

19)               Computation of Time.

         The  time in  which  any act  provided  by this  Lease is to be done is
computed by excluding the first day and including the last,  unless the last day
is a  Saturday,  Sunday,  or  holiday,  and then it is also  excluded.  The term
"holiday" shall mean all holidays  specified by the laws of the  Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands or declared by executive authority.

                                      387
<PAGE>

20)      Conditions and Covenants.

         All the  provisions  of this Lease shall be deemed as running  with the
land, and construed to be "conditions" as well as "covenants" as though the word
specifically  expressing  or imparting  covenants  and  conditions  were used in
separate provisions.  Whenever in this Lease any words of obligation or duty are
used in connection with either party, such words shall have the force and effect
as  though  framed  in the form of  express  covenants  on the part of the party
obligated.

21)      No Waiver of Breach.

         No  failure  by either  Lessor or  Lessee  to  insist  upon the  strict
performance by the other of any covenant,  agreement, term, or condition of this
Lease or to exercise any right or remedy  consequent upon a breach thereof shall
constitute a waiver of any such breach or such  covenant,  agreement,  term,  or
condition. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease but each and
every covenant,  condition,  agreement and the term of this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect with respect to any other then  existing or  subsequent
breach.

22)      Time of the Essence.

         Time is of the essence of this Lease, and of each provision.

23)      Entire Agreement.

         This Lease,  together  with any  exhibits or  documents  identified  or
referred to herein, contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to
the matters  covered  herein as of the date of  execution  hereof,  and no other
agreement, statement, or promise made by any party, or to any employee, officer,
or agent of any party  prior in time to the date of this Lease  shall be binding
or valid.

24)      Attorneys' Fees.

         In the event  either  party  shall bring any action or  proceeding  for
damages on alleged breach of any provisions of this Lease,  to recover rents, or
to  enforce,  protect  or  establish  any  right or remedy  hereunder,  then the
prevailing  party  shall be  entitled  to  recover  as a part of such  action or
proceeding, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred and court costs.

                                      388

         This  Lease is not  subject to  modification  except in  writing,  duly
signed by the parties to be charged thereunder.

26)      Effect of Partial Invalidity/Severability.

         If for any reason  whatsoever  any of the  provisions  herein  shall be
unenforceable  or  ineffective,  the same  shall be  deemed  severable  from the
remainder  hereof and shall in no way impair the validity of this Lease, and the
remaining provisions shall be and otherwise remain in full force and effect.

27)      Governing Law.

         The laws of the  Commonwealth  of the Northern  Mariana  Islands  shall
govern the validity, construction and effect of this Lease.

28)      Remedies Cumulative.

         The  various  rights,  options,  elections  or  remedies  of Lessor and
Lessee, respectively,  contained in this Lease shall be cumulative and no one of
them  shall be  construed  as  exclusive  of any other,  or of any other  right,
priority or remedy allowed or provided for by law or in equity and not expressly
waived in this Lease.

29)      Covenant to Execute Additional Instruments.

         The parties  agree to execute and  deliver any  instruments  in writing
necessary  to carry out the  agreement,  term,  condition,  or assurance in this
Lease whenever the occasion shall arise and request for such  instruments  shall
be made.

30)      No Third Party Beneficiary.

         Except as  otherwise  provided  elsewhere  herein,  this  Lease and all
rights  hereunder  are intended  for the sole benefit of the parties  hereto and

other entity or individual not a party to this Lease.
