         6. CONFIDENTIALITY.

                  (a) Employee recognizes that by virtue of her employment by

the solicitation, development, production, and servicing of business clients.
Employee understands and agrees that all efforts

                                       3
<PAGE>

that she expends and programs and strategies she develops in this regard
shall be for the permanent and exclusive benefit of Company, that Company
shall secure and retain indefinitely the proprietary interest in all such
business clients, and that Employee will not undertake any action which could
in any way disturb Company's relationship with said business clients or
Company accounts.

                  (b) Employee further recognizes that by virtue of her
relationship to Company she will be granted otherwise prohibited access to
confidential, proprietary information, and data of Company which is not known
either to its competitors or within the collegiate student business and related
financial planning business generally and which has independent economic value
to Company and to CBSA. This information includes trade secrets, and also
includes, but is not limited to: the whole or any portion or phase of any
technical information, process, procedure, formula, improvement, confidential
business or financial information, business plan, listing of names, addresses,
or telephone numbers, or other information relating to Company's business which
is secret and of value, including, but not limited to, data relating to
Company's unique marketing and servicing programs, procedures and techniques;
business, management and personnel strategies; the criteria and formulae used by
Company in pricing its product; lists of prospects, candidates, and other
matters compiled by Company's management and research staff; the identity,
addresses, telephone numbers, authority and responsibilities of key contacts at
Company accounts, including, but not limited to, high schools and colleges;
details concerning the academic, athletic and personal backgrounds of
student-athlete collegiate scholarship candidates, including attributes of the
scholarship candidates; commission rates of Company personnel; and other data
showing the particularized requirements and preferences of clients and Company
accounts, including, but not limited to, high schools and colleges. Employee
recognizes that this Confidential Information constitutes a valuable property of
Company and of CBSA, developed over a long period of time and at substantial
expense. Accordingly, Employee agrees that she will not, at any time during her
Employment relationship with the Company or for a period of five (5) years after
the termination of her Employment relationship, divulge such Confidential
Information or make use of such Confidential Information for her own purposes or
the purposes of another.

         7. NON-COMPETE. Employee recognizes Company's legitimate interest in
protecting, during and for a reasonable period of time following the termination
of Employee's employment, those Company accounts and business contacts with
which Employee will be associated during her employment and acquired by Company
pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, Employee understands and
agrees that while employed by Company and for a period of five (5) years
following termination of her employment she will not compete with the business
of the Company or solicit the customers of the Company. The geographic
limitation within which the Employee shall not compete includes any states in
which Company conducts its business as of the date of the termination of
Employee's employment with the Company. Notwithstanding this location
limitation, Employee will not, during the non-competition period, solicit or
perform work for any of Company's existing customers or clients as of the date
of termination of Employee's employment, regardless of the location from which
such work is

                                      4
<PAGE>

performed. If the geographic limitation set forth herein is deemed to be
unreasonable, Employee agrees to abide by the maximum geographic limitation
decided by a court of competent jurisdiction.

         8. BREACH OF AGREEMENT. Employee and Company understand and agree that
any breach or evasion of any term of this Agreement will potentially give rise
to actions for breach of contract or tort, which may be brought in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Employee recognizes that the rights and privileges
granted to her by this Agreement, her services and her corresponding covenants
to Company, are of a special, unique and extraordinary character, the loss of
which cannot reasonably or adequately be solely compensated for in damages in
any action at law or through the offset or withholding of any monies to which
she otherwise might be entitled from Company. Accordingly, Employee understands
and agrees that Company shall also be entitled to equitable relief, including a
temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, to
prevent a breach of this Agreement. The remedies available to Company under this
Agreement are cumulative. Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to pursue
all or any of such remedies. Such remedies are in addition to any given by law
or equity and may be enforced successively or concurrently.

         8.1 The parties mutually acknowledge and agree that in the event
that CBSA fails to perform the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase
Agreement and/or payment on the related purchase consideration Promissory
Notes attached to the Stock Purchase Agreement for the current combined
principal sum of $241,540.63, that then Paragraphs 5, 6, and 7 of this
Agreement shall be deemed null and void and, Employee shall be free to pursue
competitive business activities.

         9. SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS. This Agreement will be binding upon and
benefit the parties hereto and their assigns, executors, heirs or successors,
provided, that, the Employee will not assign any obligation hereunder without
the Company's prior written consent which consent may be withheld for any
reason.

         10. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION OR WAIVER. No amendment, modification or
waiver of any condition, provisions, or terms of this Agreement will be valid or
of any effect unless made in writing and signed by the party or parties to this
Agreement. Any waiver by any party of any defaults of the other party will not
affect or impair any rights arising from any subsequent default.

         11. SEVERABLE CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Agreement is intended
to be severable. If any provision hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason,
such illegality or invalidity will not affect the remainder of this Agreement.

         12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties respecting the transaction contemplated hereby and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties
respecting the subject matter of this Agreement.

                                 LEASED PREMISES

     1.01 Subject to and upon the terms, provisions and conditions hereinafter
set forth, and each in consideration of the duties, covenants and obligations of
the other hereunder, Lessor does hereby lease, demise and let to Lessee and
Lessee does hereby lease from Lessor that portion of the property (hereinafter
sometimes referred to as UNION BANK PLAZA or the "Building" located at 333 South
Allison Parkway, Lakewood, CO 80226 to wit:

                            Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1,
                        Belmar Plaza Subdivision Filing 1
                     County of Jefferson, State of Colorado

as reflected on the floor plan of such premises attached hereto and made a part
hereof as Exhibit "A", described as Suite 100(hereinafter referred to as the
"Leased Premises", "Demised Premises" or "Premises") together with certain
parking rights attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "D".

     1.02 The term "net rentable area" as used herein, shall refer to all areas
within the inside surface of the outer glass or finished column walls enclosing
the tenant-occupied portion of the floor and measured to the midpoint of the
walls separating other similar areas available for the use of all tenants on the
particular floor (hereinafter sometimes called "common areas"), but including a
proportionate part of said common areas located on such floor based on the ratio
that the net rentable area bears to the aggregate net rentable area on such
floor. No deductions from net rentable area are made for columns or projections
necessary to the Building. The net rentable area in the Leased Premises has been
calculated on the basis of the foregoing definition to contain:

     Suite 100: approximately 5,418 square feet of useable area and 6,136 square
feet of rentable area.

     1.03 Lessor shall deliver the Premises according to the Schedule and Work
Letter attached as Exhibit B.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                      TERM

     2.01 The lease shall be for a term of five years from August 1, 2000, the
commencement date to and including July 31, 2005, unless sooner terminated
pursuant to this Lease.

     If, as a result of the postponement or acceleration of the commencement
date, the commencement date falls on other than the first day of the month, rent
for any initial portion of the month and the final month of the term shall be
appropriately prorated.

     2.02 If Lessor, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the
Leased Premises to Lessee at the commencement of the term hereof, this Lease
shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any loss
or damage resulting therefrom, but in that event the term of the Lease shall be
amended to commence on the date when the Lessor can deliver possession and the
expiration date shall be extended accordingly, unless possession cannot be
delivered within 60 days after the projected commencement date of the term for
reasons not within the control of Lessee, in which case Lessee shall have the
right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Lessor without penalty to
either party. If permission is given to Lessee to occupy the premises prior to
the commencement date, such occupancy shall be subject to all of the provisions
of this Lease. The Parties hereto agree to execute and acknowledge a written
statement setting forth the date of commencement of this Lease and the
termination date, but this Lease shall not be affected in any manner should
either party fail or refuse to execute such statement.

     2.03 The Lessee, by taking possession of the premises shall be deemed to
have agreed that the premises are in satisfactory order, repair and condition,
except for latent defects and defects which are set forth in a written
communication received by Lessor within ten(10) days after Lessee's occupancy of
the Leased Premises, and Lessee shall provide Lessor, upon request, with a
written acknowledgement of acceptance.

     2.04 Should the Lessee remain in occupation of the premises after the
expiration of the Lease without having executed a new written Lease with the
Lessor, such holding over shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the
Lease.

In such event the Lessor may, at its option, elect or treat the Lessee as one
who has not renewed at the end of his term and the Lessor shall be entitled to
all remedies against the lessee provided by law in that situation, or the Lessor
may elect, at its option, to construe such holding over as a tenancy from month
to month, subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, except as to
its duration and as to the base rental which shall be 125% of the base rental in
effect at the expiration of the Lease.

                                       2

general office purposes only. Lessee shall not use, or permit the premises or
any part thereof to be used, for any purpose or purposes other than the purposes

about the premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute,

promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules,
regulations or requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar
body now or hereafter constituted relating to the condition, use or occupancy of
the premises, excluding structural changes not related to or affected by
Lessee's improvements or acts. If it is determined, at any time during the term
of this Lease, that the purposes for which the Lessee leased the Premises, as
set fourth in Article 3.01 above are illegal or conflict with any law, the
Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease.

     3.03 Lessee shall not place any holes in any part of premises or place any

                                 ADDITIONAL RENT

     5.01 Lessee is responsible to Lessor for Operating Expenses, defined
herein, in excess of the base year 2000 operating expenses. Should in any
calendar year period, beginning January 1, 2001, the actual Operating Expenses

directly to Lessee based upon the amount by which the total Building Operating
Expenses exceed the base year amount. Said monies shall be entitled "Additional
Rent" and shall be charged one month in advance and shall be charged on the
first day of such month in each year, together with the payment of Base Rental
described herein in 4.01. Building rentable square feet total 35,772. Lessee
occupies 6,136 rentable square feet. Lessee's pro-rata share is 17.153 percent.

     5.02 (a) The term "Operating Expenses" as utilized in this Lease
agreement shall include all costs of repairs, maintenance and replacement in
the operation of the Building and Common Areas, heating, air conditioning,
elevator, janitorial supplies, cleaning and other services, landscape
maintenance, parking area maintenance, general maintenance and repairs,

utilities servicing the Building, and payment of ad valorem taxes assessed
upon the land and Building and on personal property used in the operation and

          (b) Prior to the commencement of each following calendar year, Lessor
shall estimate Lessee's expected increase, if any, in Operating Expenses over
the period, in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each
month during the calendar year.

In the event said estimate is delivered to Lessee after the first day of January
of such calendar year, said increase, so estimated shall be payable as
additional rent, in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of
each month over the balance of such calendar year, with the number of
installments being equal to the number of full calendar months remaining in such
year. Upon completion of each calendar year during the term of this lease or any
renewal or extension thereof, Lessor shall cause its accountants to determine
the actual amount of the Operating Expenses paid in such calendar year and upon
request will deliver a written certification of the amounts thereof to Lessee
within sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar year.

If Lessee has underpaid its pro rata share of Operating Expenses for the year,
Lessee shall pay the balance of its share of same within (10) days after receipt
of such statement. If Lessee has overpaid its pro rata share of Operating
Expenses for such year, Lessor shall credit such excess against the most current
monthly installment or installments due Lessor for its estimate of Lessee's
share of Operating Expenses for the then current calendar lease year. Upon
reasonable notice to Lessor, Lessee shall have the right to review the Lessor's
books and records relating to the computation of additional rent pursuant to
this article and shall have the right to cause an audit to be made of such
computation at Lessee's expense. Any errors in such computation shall be
promptly corrected. The obligations of Lessee under the provisions of this
paragraph with respect to additional rent for the last year of the term of the
Lease shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the term of the
Lease. If at the end of the Lease, Lessee has overpaid it's pro-rata share of
operating expenses, Lessee will receive a refund of such overpaid amount.

          (c) Lessee shall be responsible to Lessor for extra heating and
cooling Operating Expenses arising from Lessee's use of the premises beyond the
normal hours of operation of the building defined in Paragraph 6.01 B. (1).

               provided that Lessee shall not use any electrical equipment which

               An initial Schedule of Equipment provided by Lessee is attached
               herein and incorporated by reference hereto and is acceptable to

     8.01 Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution hereof the sum of
$28,379.00 US Dollars as security for Lessee's faithful performance of Lessee's
obligations hereunder. $9,459.67 shall represent base rent for the initial month

<PAGE>

to same on August 1, 2001, unless Lessee shall sooner be in default. $9,459.66
shall represent a security and damage deposit to be held by Landlord in an non
interest bearing account for the entire term of the Lease. If Lessee fails to
pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to
any provisions of this Lease, Lessor may without notice to Lessee use, apply or
retain all or any portion of said deposits for the payment of any rent or other
charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become
obligated by reason of Lessee's default or to compensate Lessor for any loss or
damage which Lessor may suffer thereby.

If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposits, Lessee shall
within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Lessor in
an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount hereinabove
stated. Lessor shall not be required to keep said deposit separate from its
general accounts or to pay interest on said deposit.

If Lessee performs all of Lessee's obligations hereunder, said deposit or so
much thereof as had not theretofore been applied by Lessor, shall be returned,
without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at
Lessor's option, to the last assignee, if any, of the Lessee's interest
hereunder) within sixty (60) days after the expiration or earlier termination of
the Lease.

charges, assessments, fees, licenses or other similar rates and taxes which may
be levied or imposed upon the Lessee's goods, chattels, and equipment in the
Leased Premises or upon the business carried on therein, and also all other
rates and taxes which are or may be payable by the Lessee as occupant thereof.
If the mode of collecting such taxes be so altered as to make the Lessor liable
therefor instead of the Lessee, or if one account is rendered for such taxes
covering the whole Building wherein the Leased Premises are located, or a
portion thereof greater than that occupied by the Lessee, the Lessor will pay
such accounts and the Lessee will repay the Lessor as additional rent on demand
the amount of the benefit derived by the Lessee from such charge, or the
Lessee's proportional share of the total account rendered.

     9.02 Should the Lessee fail to pay when due any taxes, rates, duties,
charges, assessments, fees, licenses or other similar rates and taxes which it
is required or has herein covenanted to pay and which could constitute a lien,
charge or encumbrance upon the Lands, the Building or the Leased premises, the
Lessor, after the expiration of ten (10) days' notice to the Lessee within which
such default has not been cured, may pay all or any of the same unless the
Lessee's failure to pay such amount(s) are due to a good faith dispute as to the
Lessee's obligation to pay such amount(s), and all of such payments so made
shall constitute additional rent forthwith payable by the Lessee to the Lessor.

contained or referred to in this Lease. Any change in the control of ownership,
if the Lessee is a corporation or other entity, by operation of law, appointment
of a trustee, or otherwise, shall be deemed an assignment under this Article

and of the condemnation, except any separate award reimbursing Lessee for moving
or relocation expenses, or specifically allocated to Lessee's property or
improvements to the Leased Premises which were originally paid for by Lessee.

     21.01 The Lessor is a Limited Liability Company.

     21.02 Except as otherwise provided for in this Lease, the Lessor shall not
be liable for any damage, loss, theft, injury, or destruction arising in or upon
the Leased Premises or the Building, to any property or person nor for any
personal injuries sustained by the Lessee, its servants, agents, employees, or
invitees, which may result at any time from any reason or cause except to the
extent caused by the negligence, misconduct, acts or omissions of the Lessor,
its servants, agents, employees or invitees.

     21.03 The Lessor shall not be responsible for any damages resulting from
delays in the construction and/or finishing of the Leased Premises and/or the
interruption or modification of any service or facility provided by it in the
Building caused or required by strikes, riots, labor controversies, accidents,
fuel shortages, acts of God, war, court order, fire or other casualty, force
majeure.

     21.04 Lessor shall in no event be liable to Lessee by reason of loss of
profits, business interruption or other consequential damages except caused by
the misconduct, neglect, acts or omissions of Lessor, its agents or employees.

                                  ARTICLE XXII
                                 ATTORNEY'S FEES

     22.01 In the event of any dispute arising out or on account of this Lease,

                                 ARTICLE XXIII
                               DEFAULT BY LESSEE

     23.01 The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:

          (a)  The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee unless
Lessee continues to timely make monthly payments required under this Lease.

          (b)  The failure by Lessee to make any payment of Base Rent,
Additional Rent or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as
and when due.

                                       13
<PAGE>

           (c)  The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by
Lessee, other than as described in paragraph (b) above.

           (d)  (i) The making by Lessee of any general assignment, or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Lessee
of a petition to have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt, or a petition for
reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless in
the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within sixty
(60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within thirty
(30) days; or (iv) the attachment , execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at Premises or of Lessee's interest
in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

     23.02 (a) In the event of any default or breach by Lessee under paragraph
23.01 (a) or 23.01 (b), where such default shall continue for a period of three
(3) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee (which notice may be
given as provided under applicable law), and in the event of any other default
or breach by Lessee, subject to the terms and conditions concerning such other
defaults or breaches set forth herein below, Lessor shall have the right at any
time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Lessor in
the exercise of any right or remedy, which Lessor may otherwise have by reason
of such default or breach, to terminate this Lease at its option or to reenter
and at its option to attempt to relet without terminating this Lease and remove
all persons and property from the Premises, using any force as may reasonably be
necessary to accomplish said purposes, all without service of notice or resort
to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass or forcible entry
or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. In
the event of any other default or breach by Lessee other than under paragraph
23.01 (a) or 23.01 (b), Lessee shall not be in default unless Lessee fails to
perform obligations required of Lessee within thirty (30) days after written
notice by Lessor to Lessee specifying the manner in which Lessee has failed to
perform such obligation; provided however, that if the nature of Lessee's
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance
as determined by Lessee, then Lessee shall not be in default if Lessee commences
performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion; provided further that Lessee's obligation to
perform any act under this Lease shall be excused for any period of time during
which Lessee is prevented from performing because of any circumstance beyond
Lessee's control.

           (b)  If Lessee shall fail to remove any effects which it is entitled
to remove from the Premises upon the termination of this Lease, or any extension
or renewal hereof, or upon a reentry by Lessor for any cause whatsoever, or upon
Lessee's ceasing to possess the Premises for any reason, the Lessor, at its
option, may remove the same and store or dispose of the said effects without
liability for loss or damage thereto, and Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on
demand any and all expenses incurred in such removal, including the cost of
removal of signs from the windows, making the Premises including sidewalks or
alleyways adjacent thereto, if any, free from all dirt, litter, debris and
obstruction, and including Court costs, attorney's fees, storage and

                                       14
<PAGE>

insurance charges on such effects for any length of time the same shall be in
Lessor's possession; or the Lessor, at its option, without notice, may sell such
effects, or any of them, in a commercially reasonable manner, and apply the
proceeds of such sale to any amounts due under this Lease from the Lessee to the
Lessor, and to the expenses incidental to the removing, cleaning the Premises,
selling said effects, and any other expense, rendering the surplus, if any, to
the Lessee; provided, however, in the event the proceeds of such sale or sales
are insufficient to reimburse the Lessor, Lessee shall pay such deficiency upon
demand.

          (c)  Should Lessor elect to reenter, as herein provided, or should it
take possession pursuant to legal proceedings, or pursuant to any notice
provided for by law, it may make such reasonable alterations and repairs as may
be necessary in order to relet the Premises or any part thereof, and may relet
the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term
extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon
such other terms and conditions as Lessor may determine to be advisable; upon
each such reletting all rentals received by the Lessor from such reletting shall
be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Base Rent due
hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any reasonable costs
and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorney's fees and
the cost of such alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of Base Rent due
and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Lessor and
applied in payment of additional rent and future rent as the same may become due
and payable hereunder; provided that Lessee shall have no right to claim any
interest in all or any portion of said residue and if the rent and other charges
paid or to be paid to Lessor by any new Lessee pursuant to any reletting exceed
the monetary obligations of Lessee, Lessee shall have no right to claim any
interest in all or any portion of said excess. If such rental received from such
reletting during any month be less than that to be paid during the month by
Lessee hereunder, Lessee shall pay any such deficiency to Lessor, and such
deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Lessor shall in no event be
liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises for any reason,
or in the event the Premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent thereof
under such reletting. Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to relet premises. No
such reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Lessor, nor any acts
pursuant thereto, shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate
this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Lessee.

          (d)  Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Lessor
may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous
breach. Should Lessor at any time terminate this Lease for any such breach, in
addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Lessee all
damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering
the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees, and including the worth at the time of
such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges
equivalent to rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term
over the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the
stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from
Lessee to Lessor; provided, however, that if the then reasonable rental value of
the Premises exceeds the value of the rent and other charges equivalent to rent
reserved in this Lease as aforesaid, Lessee shall have no right to claim any
interest in all or any portion of such excess. In determining the rent which
would be payable by Lessee hereunder, subsequent to default, the annual rent for
each year of the unexpired term shall be equal to the average annual Base Rent
and Additional Rent paid or payable by Lessee from the commencement date of this
Lease to the time

                                       15
<PAGE>

of default, or during the preceding three (3) full calendar years, whichever is
shorter.

           (e)  Each of the remedies set forth hereinabove in this paragraph
23.02 shall not be exclusive, but rather shall be considered cumulative with any
other legal or equitable remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under the
laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Premises are located.

     23.03 Lessor shall not be in default unless Lessor fails to perform
obligations required of Lessor within thirty (30) days after written notice by
Lessee to Lessor and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust
covering the Premises, specifying the manner in which Lessor has failed to
perform such obligation; provided however, that if the nature of Lessor's
obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance
as determined by Lessor, then Lessor shall not be in default if Lessor commences
performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently
prosecutes the same to completion; provided further that Lessor's obligation to
perform any act under this Lease shall be excused for any period of time during
which Lessor is prevented from performing because of any circumstance beyond
Lessor's control.

     23.04 Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of
rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing
and accounting charges, and late charges may be imposed on Lessor by the terms
of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any
installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall
not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after said
amount is due, then Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor a late charge of four
hundred and seventy-three ($473.00) U.S. Dollars plus eighteen percent (18%) per
annum interest on the late payment and late charge for each and every day after
ten days until said payment is made. The parties hereby agree that such a charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Lessor will incur by
reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall
constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount no
more than once in any calendar year. If late payment occurs more than once in a
calendar year, the acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall not constitute
a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such overdue amount, or prevent
Lessor from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE XXIV
                                     WAIVER

     24.01 Failure of Lessor to declare any default immediately upon occurrence
thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive
such default, but Lessor shall have the right to declare any such default at any
time prior to cure of said default, and take such action as might be lawful or
authorized hereunder, either in law or equity. No waiver by Lessor of any
provision of this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision
hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of the same or any other provision.

                                       16
<PAGE>

The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor (whether paid by Lessee or
a third party) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach of
Lessee of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure
of Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor's
knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent.
Lessor's consent to or approval of any act by Lessee requiring Lessor's consent
or approval shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Lessee, whether or not similar
to the act so consented to or approved.

                                   ARTICLE XXV
                                CONSENT BY LESSOR

     25.01 Wherever in this Lease the Lessor must consent to some action of the
Lessee, the Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent. Likewise,
wherever in this Lease a determination is based upon the Lessor's opinion or
determination, such opinion or determination must be reasonable.

                                  ARTICLE XXVI
                                    INSURANCE

     26.01 Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease
fire and extended coverage on the Building, (including building standard
leasehold improvements). Lessor may also, but shall not be required to, procure
any other insurance policies respecting the Leased Premises or Building which
Lessor chooses to purchase.

     26.02 Lessee shall, at its expense, obtain and keep in force during the
term of this Lease a policy of bodily injury and property damages insurance,
insuring Lessor and Lessee against any liability arising out of the ownership,
use, occupancy or maintenance of the premises and all areas appurtenant thereto.
Such insurance shall be in an amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand
($500,000) per person, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) per occurrence
for bodily injury and Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) for property
damage, or One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) combined
single limit for said items. The limits of said insurance shall not, however,
limit the liability of Lessee hereunder. Lessee shall also obtain and keep in
force during the term of this Lease, at Lessee's expense, "all risk" or "special
coverage form" insurance upon the property of every description and kind owned
by the Lessee and located in the Building or for which Lessee is legally liable
or installed by or on behalf of the Lessee, including without limitation,
furniture, fittings, installations, alterations, additions, partitions, fixtures
and anything in the nature of leasehold improvements in an amount not less than
80% of the full replacement cost thereof in excess of building standard. Such
insurance shall insure the Lessee and the Lessor.

If Lessee shall fail to procure and maintain the insurance required hereunder,
Lessor may but shall not be required to procure and maintain the same, and any
amount so paid by Lessor for such

                                       17
<PAGE>

insurance shall be Additional Rent which shall be due on demand.

Insurance required by Lessee hereunder shall be in companies rated A+ AAA or
better in "Best's Insurance Guide". Lessee shall deliver to Lessor prior to
taking possession of the Premises copies of policies of such insurance or
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss
payable clauses satisfactory to Lessor. No such policy shall be cancelable or
subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after ten (10)
days' prior written notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, within ten (10) days prior
to the expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals thereof, or
Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which
amount shall be Additional Rent and shall be payable by Lessee on the next
succeeding date on which a Base Rental payment is due. Lessee shall not do or
permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies
referred to in Section 26.02. Lessee shall forthwith, upon Lessor's demand,
reimburse Lessor for any additional premiums attributable to any act or omission
or operation of Lessee causing an increase in the cost of insurance.

     26.04 Waiver of Subrogation--As long as their respective insurers so
permit, Lessee and Lessor each waives any and all rights of recovery against the
other, or against the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the
other for loss or damage to such waiving party or its property or the property
of others under its control, where such loss or damage is insured against under
any insurance policy in force at the time of such loss or damage. Lessee and
Lessor shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required hereunder, give
notice to the insurance carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation
is contained in this Lease and obtain policies of insurance, if obtainable,
which shall include a waiver by the insurer of all right of subrogation against
Lessor or Lessee in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against.

                                  ARTICLE XXVII
                                  HOLD HARMLESS

     27.01 Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee, or to Lessee's agents,
servants, employees, customers or invitees for any damages to person or property
caused by any act or omission other than neglect or misconduct on the part of
Lessor, and Lessee agrees to hold Lessor harmless from all claims for any such
damages.

     Lessee shall not be liable to Lessor, or to Lessor's agents, servants,
employees, customers or invitees for any damages to person or property caused by
any act or omission other than neglect or misconduct on the part of Lessee, and
Lessor agrees to hold Lessee harmless from all claims for any such damages.

     27.02 The Lessee shall indemnify and save harmless the Lessor of and from
all liabilities, fines, suits, claims, demands and actions of any kind or nature
to which the Lessor shall or may become liable for or suffer by reason of any
breach, violation or non-performance by the Lessee of any covenant, term or
provision hereof.

     The Lessor shall indemnify and save harmless the Lessee of and from all
liabilities, fines, suits, claims, demands and actions of any kind or nature to
which the Lessee shall or may become liable for or suffer by reason of any
breach, violation or non-performance by the Lessor of any covenant, term or
provision hereof. Such indemnification(s) in respect of any such breach,
violation or non-performance, damage to property, injury or death occurring
during the term of the Lease shall survive any termination or other expiration
of this Lease, anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding.

                                 ARTICLE XXVIII
                            LESSOR'S RESERVED RIGHTS

     28.01 Without notice and without liability to Lessee, Lessor shall have the
right to:

           (a)  Change the name or street address of the Building with at least
60 days prior notice to Lessee.

           (b)  Install and maintain signs on the exterior of the Building.

           (c)  Exhibit the premises to others upon reasonable prior notice,
during the last 90 days of the Lessee's term, should Lessee decide not to renew
for an additional term.

           (d)  Make reasonable rules and regulations as, in the judgment of
Lessor, may from time to time be needed for the safety of the Lessees, the care
and cleanliness of the Building and preservation of good order, therein. Lessee
shall be notified in writing when each such rule and regulation is promulgated.

                                  ARTICLE XXIX
                              ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

     29.01 This Lease contains the entire agreement and understanding between
Lessor and Lessee. There are no oral understandings, terms or conditions, and
neither party has relied upon any representations, express or implied, not
contained in this Lease. No assent or consent to changes in or waiver of any
part of this Lease shall be deemed or taken as made, unless the same be done in
writing and agreed to by both Lessor and Lessee, and attached to or endorsed
hereon by the Lessor and Lessee, and no subsequent modifications shall be
binding unless in writing and signed by both parties.

No covenant or term of the present Lease stipulated in favor of the Lessor shall
be waived, except by express written consent of the Lessor, whose forbearance or
indulgence in any regard whatsoever shall not constitute a waiver of the
covenant, term or condition to be performed by the Lessee; and until complete
performance by the Lessee of the said covenant, term or condition, the Lessor
shall be entitled to invoke any remedies available under this Lease or by law
despite such forbearance or indulgence. Likewise, Lessee shall be entitled to
invoke any remedy available under this Lease or by law as a result of a default
by Lessor.

                                       19
<PAGE>

     29.02 If any holder of any mortgage or mortgages or any charge resulting
from any other method of financing or refinancing now or hereafter in force
against the Lands and Buildings of which the Leased Premises are a part shall at
any time require any change not of a substantial nature, the Lessee agrees to
cooperate, provided that such cooperation shall not increase rent or provide
additional obligation to Lessee.

     29.03 The word Lessee shall be deemed and taken to mean each and every
person or party mentioned as a Lessee herein be they the same one or more; and
if there shall be one or more persons or parties, any notice required or
permitted by the terms of this Lease may be given by or to any one thereof and
shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to all thereof. The use
of the neuter, singular pronoun to refer to the Lessor or the Lessee shall be
deemed a proper reference even though the Lessor or the Lessee may be
individual, partnership, corporation or group of two or more individuals or
corporations. The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions
of this Lease apply in the plural sense where there is more than one Lessor or
Lessee, and to either corporations, associations, partnerships or individuals,
males or females, shall in all instances be assumed as though in each case fully
expressed.

In the case where this Lease is executed by more than one person or party, all
covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained shall be construed an
taken as against all existing parties as joint and several.

     29.04 Any notices herein provided or permitted to be given by Lessee to the
Lessor shall be sufficiently given if mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Lessor in care of:

                               SanTom Holdings LLC
                        333 S. Allison Parkway, Suite 205
                             Lakewood, CO 80226-3115

In every instance where it is necessary or desirable for the Lessor to serve any
notice or demand upon the Lessee it will be sufficient to deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Lessee at the Leased Premises a written or printed copy thereof
and to forward a written or printed copy thereof by certified mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the Lessee at:

                      College Bound Student Alliance, Inc.
                        333 S. Allison Parkway, Suite 100
                               Lakewood, CO. 80226

All notices or demands to the Lessee/Lessor shall be signed by the Lessor/Lessee
or its agent or agents on its behalf and will be conclusively deemed to have
been given on the day on which such notice is delivered, or on the date of the
first attempted delivery by the United States Postal Service.

                                       20
<PAGE>

Either party may at any time in the manner provided above give notice in writing
to the other of any change of address of the party giving notice and from and
after the giving of such notice and address therein specified shall be deemed to
be the address of such party for the giving of notices hereunder.

     29.05 Relocation Clause Deleted!

     29.06 If any clause or provision herein contained shall be adjudged
invalid, the same shall not effect the validity of any other clause or provision
of this Lease, nor constitute any other cause of action in favor of either party
as against the other.

     29.07 This Lease and all rights of the Lessee hereunder is and are
subordinate and subject to all mortgages or deeds of trust or liens resulting
from any method of financing which may now or at any time hereafter be in force
against the land on which the Building is located (the "Lands") and the
Building, and this Lease and the rights of the Lessee hereunder will be
subordinate to all advances made or to be made upon the security of such
mortgages, deeds of trust or liens. Such holders of mortgages or Liens shall
grant to Lessee a covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. This Lease and the rights of the
Lessee hereunder shall also be subject and subordinate to any renewal,
modification, consolidation, replacement and extension of any such mortgage,
deed of trust or lien. Upon written request of the Lessor, the Lessee shall
forthwith produce further evidence of such subordination by written instrument
in such reasonable form as the Lessor may require. In the event of a bona fide
sale or the bona fide raising of funds upon the Lands, and/or the Building by
the Lessor, this Lease and the rentals hereunder may be assigned by the Lessor
to such bona fide purchaser or lender or trustee for such lender, subject to
attornment and Lessee's continued rights of quiet possession.

Upon assignment of this Lease or of the rentals and other charges payable
hereunder to a bona fide lender or trustee for such lender and upon notice of
such assignment being forwarded to the Lessee, the Lessee agrees within ten (10)
days to sign and return to the Lessor such acknowledgement of assignment in the
form required by the Lessor.

     29.08 The Lessee agrees that it shall at any time and from time to time,
upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice, execute, and deliver to
the Lessor a statement in writing in such form as the Lessor requires certifying
that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified,
stating the modification and the same is in full force and effect, as modified),
the amount of the annual rent then being paid hereunder, the date to which the
same (by installments or otherwise) and other charges hereunder have been paid,
and whether or not there is any existing default on the part of the Lessor.

The failure to timely deliver said statement shall conclusively mean that except
as stated otherwise by Lessor, this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect, there are no defaults on the part of Lessor, and that there have been no
rental prepayments for a period of more than one month.

                                       21
<PAGE>

     29.09 The Lessor may perform all or any of its obligations hereunder by or
through such managing or other agencies as it may from time to time determine,
