apply to any court of competent  jurisdiction to enforce  specifically the terms
of this  Agreement  or enjoin  such  breach or  threatened  breach.  The parties
understand  and intend that each  restriction  agreed to by Executive  above and
elsewhere  herein will be construed as separable and divisible  from every other
restriction  and that the  unenforceability,  in whole or in part,  of any other
restriction will not affect the enforceablility of the remaining restriction and
that  one or more or all of such  restrictions  may be  enforced  in whole or in
part, as the circumstances warrant.
<PAGE>
          (b) If any of the  covenants  contained  in  Sections  9 and 10 or any
aspects thereof are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not
affect the  remainder  of the covenant or  covenants,  which shall be given full
effect, without regard to the invalid parts.

parties  with  respect  to the  subject  matter  hereof,  supersedes  all  prior
agreements  and  understandings  with  respect  thereto and cannot be  modified,
amended,  waived or terminated,  in whole or in part,  except in accordance with
the  terms  hereof or by a writing  signed by all of the  parties.  No course of

writing,  shall be deemed given when  received,  and be delivered  personally or
sent by certified mail return  receipt  requested,  or by nationally  recognized
overnight  courier service,  or by telecopier to the address of such party above

interpretation,  performance and enforceablility  thereof, shall be governed and

             P.O. Box 500620
             St. Louis,  MO   63150-0620

     4.2  [OMITTED]

     4.3  [OMITTED]

     4.4 If this Lease  should  commence on a date other than the first day of a
calendar year or terminate on a date other than the last day of a calendar year,
Percentage  Rental for such  fractional  part of the calendar year following the
Commencement  Date or preceding the Termination  Date, as the case may be, shall
be paid at the specified rate for all sales made during such  fractional part of
a calendar year,  after  deducting from such  Percentage  Rental all payments of
Minimum Guaranteed Rental for such fractional period.  Such Percentage Rental is
to be paid in monthly  installments  as provided in Section 4.3 with  respect to
full calendar years.

     4.5  [OMITTED]
<PAGE>
     4.6 In the  event  that the  designation  of a  Percentage  Rental  rate in
Section 1.1 (k) of this Lease includes a breakpoint of Gross Sales (e.g., "5% of
Gross Sales over  $100,000.00"),  then (a) subsection (ii) in the first sentence
of Section 4.3 of this Lease shall be deemed to have been  deleted and all other
formula references in Article IV adjusted accordingly;  (b) the breakpoint shall
be  divided  by twelve for  purposes  of  computing  monthly  Percentage  Rental
installments  in the second  sentence of Section 4.3; and (c) during all periods
when Minimum Guaranteed  Rentals are reduced (e.g.,  pursuant to Section 15.4 or
Section 16.2), the breakpoint shall be reduced proportionately.

     4.7 It is understood  that the Minimum  Guaranteed  Rental is payable on or
before  the  first  day of the  month  (in  accordance  with  Section  4.2)  and
Percentage  Rental, if any, is payable on or before,  the tenth of each calendar
month, without offset or deduction of any nature. In the event any rental is not
received  by the due date,  it is agreed  that the  amount  thus due shall  bear
interest at the maximum  contractual  rate which could legally be charged in the
event of a loan of such rental to Tenant in the state where the Demised Premises
is located but in no event to exceed 1 1/2% per month,  such  interest to accrue
continuously  on any unpaid  balance due to Landlord by Tenant during the period
commencing  with the aforesaid due date and  terminating  with the date on which
Tenant makes full  payment of all amounts  owing to Landlord at the time of said
payment. Any such increase shall be payable as additional rent hereunder,  shall
not be considered as a deduction from  Percentage  Rental,  and shall be payable
immediately on demand.

     4.8 If Tenant fails in two (2)  consecutive  months to make rental payments
within ten (10) days after due, Landlord,  in order to reduce its administrative
costs,  may require by giving  written  notice to Tenant (and in addition to any
interest accruing pursuant to Section 4.6 above, as well as any other rights and
remedies  accruing  pursuant  to Article  XIX or Article  XX, or any other term,
provision or covenant of this Lease),  that Minimum Guaranteed Rentals are to be
paid quarterly in advance instead of monthly and that all future rental payments
are to be made on or  before  the due date by cash,  cashier's  check,  or money
order,  and that the delivery of Tenant's  personal or  corporate  check will no
longer  constitute  a  payment  of  rental  as  .provided  in  this  Lease . Any
acceptance  of a monthly  rental  payment or of a personal  or  corporate  check
thereafter by Landlord  shall not be construed as a.  subsequent  waiver of said
rights.

     4.9  Tenant  hereby  acknowledges  that  Tenant  ' s  business  reputation,
intended use of the Demised  Premises,  potential for payment of Percentage Rent
and  ability to generate  patronage  to the Demised  Premises  and the  Shopping

the same or  similar  trade  name,  within a radius  of three  (3)  miles of the
perimeter of the Shopping Center, except for those which Tenant has in operation
as of the date hereof.  Without limiting Landlord's other available remedies, in
the event  Tenant  should  violate  this (iii)  covenant,  Landlord  may, at its
option,  (a)  terminate  this Lease upon  thirty  (30) days'  written  notice to

right of  occupancy  of any  portion of the Demised  Premises  without the prior
written consent of Landlord.  Consent by Landlord to one or more  assignments or
sublettings  shall  not  operate  as a waiver  of  Landlord's  rights  as to any
subsequent assignments and sublettings which will not be unreasonably withheld.

due and payable by sublessee (or a combination  of the rental payable under such
sublease  plus any bonus or other  consideration  therefor or incident  thereto)

transferee  exceeds the rental  payable  under this Lease,  then Tenant shall be
bound and  obligated  to pay  Landlord  all such excess  rental and other excess
consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant from such
sublessee,  assignee, licensee or other transferee, as the case may be. Finally,

Landlord's  obligation under this Lease, Landlord shall thereby be released from
any  further  obligations  hereunder,  and Tenant  agrees to look solely to such
successor  in interest of Landlord  for  performance  of such  obligations.  Any
security given by Tenant to secure performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder

which is attributable to the Demised  Premises during any  lease/insurance  year
shall be the product of the aggregate of Insurance  Premiums times a fraction of
the  numerator  of which is.  the total  square  feet  included  in the  Demised
Premises  and the  denominator  of which is the  total  ground  floor are in the
Shopping  Center at the tine the Insurance  Premiums are due.  Tenant shall make
such  payments  to Landlord  on demand,  at  intervals  not more  frequent  than

          is . obligated to do under the terms of this Lease;  and Tenant agrees
          to reimburse  Landlord on demand for any expenses  which  Landlord may
          incur in thus effecting  compliance  with Tenant's  obligations  under

          liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action.

          Landlord,  and  if  Tenant  fails  to do  so.  Landlord  may,  without
          prejudice to any other remedy which  Landlord may have for  possession
          or arrearages in rent  (including  any interest which may have accrued
          pursuant to Article IV of this Lease),  enter upon and take possession
          of the  Demised  Premises  and  expel or remove  Tenant  and any other
          person who may be  occupying  said  premises or any part  thereof,  by
          force if necessary  without being liable for  prosecution or any claim
          for damages therefor. Landlord agrees to provide ten (10) days written
          notice and Tenant  hasten (10) days to correct,  modify and make whole
<PAGE>

               in this Lease for the preceding  calendar month and that actually

               shall have a right to allowsuch deficiencies to accumulate and to
               bring an action on several or all of the accrued  deficiencies at
               one time.  ' Any such suit  shall  not  prejudice  in any way the
               right of  Landlord to bring a similar  action for any  subsequent
               deficiency or deficiencies. Any amount collected by Landlord from
               subsequent  tenants  for any  calendar  month,  in  excess of the
               monthly rentals and other charges  provided in this Lease,  shall
               be credited to Tenant in reduction of Tenant's  liability for any
               calendar month for which the amount collected by Landlord will be
               less than the monthly rentals and other charges  provided in this
               Lease;  but Tenant  shall have no right to such excess other than
               the above described credit.

          (ii) When Landlord  desires.  Landlord may demand a final  settlement.
               Upon demand for a final  settlement,  Landlord shall have a right
               to, and Tenant hereby,  agrees to pay, the difference between the
               total of all monthly rentals,  and Other charges provided in this
               Lease for the  remainder  of the term and the  reasonable  rental
               value of the Demised Premises for such period, such difference to
               be  discounted  to  present  value at a rate equal to the rate of
               interest  which is allowed  by law,  in the state  designated  by
               Section 27.10 of this Lease,  when the parties to a contract have
               not agreed on any particular rate of interest (or, in the absence
               of such law, ac the rate of six percent (6%) per annum).
<PAGE>
               If  Landlord   elects  to  exercise  the  remedy   prescribed  in
               subsection  (7) A above,  this election shall in no wav prejudice
               Landlord's  right at any time  thereafter to cancel said election
               in favor of the  remedy  prescribed  in  Subsection  (7) B above,
               provided that at the time of such cancellation Tenant is still in
               default.  Similarly, if Landlord elects to compute damages in the
               manner  prescribed by Subsection  (7) B (i) above,  this election
               shall in no way prejudice Landlord's right at any time thereafter
               to demand a final  settlement in accordance with Subsection (7) B
               (ii)  above.  Pursuit  of any of the  above  remedies  shall  not
               preclude  pursuit  of any  other  remedies  prescribed  in  other
               sections  of this Lease and any other  remedies  provided by law.

               herein  provided  upon an event of default shall not be deemed or

immediately  preceding  the date  Landlord  initiated  action  pursuant  to said
subsection  (or,  if two full  calendar  years  have not  then  elapsed,  to the
corresponding  fraction of all percentage rentals required to be paid because of
Gross Sales  during the period  commencing  with the  Commencement  Date of this
Lease and concluding with the date on which Landlord initiated such action).

or other lien  covering  Landlord's  interest in the Demised  Premises has given

(or if there have been modifications,  that the same is in full force and effect
as so  modified),  shall  confirm  that  Landlord,  is not in  default as to any
obligations  of  Landlord  under  this  Lease (or if  Landlord  Is in.  default,
specifying any default.),  shall confirm Tenant's agreements  contained above in

Lease, and shall contain such other information or confirmations as Landlord may
reasonably require.  Landlord is hereby irrevocably  appointed and authorized as
the agent and attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver any such written
statement  on  Tenant's  behalf if Tenant  fails to do so within  seven (7) days
after the delivery of a written  request from  Landlord to Tenant.  Landlord may
treat such failure as an event of default.

                                   EXHIBIT A*

                 CONSTRUCTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF DEMISED PREMISES

     1. Subject to the provisions below. Landlord agrees that it will proceed to
construct  a store unit upon the Demised  Premises as shown and  outlined on the
plan  attached  hereto as  Exhibit D, in  compliance  with the  "Description  of
Landlord's  Work" in Exhibit B attached  hereto,  with such minor  variations as
Landlord  may deem  advisable,  and tender the Demised  Premises to Tenant.  The
Demised  Premises  shall be deemed to be "ready for occupancy"  when  Landlord's
Work on the  Demised  Premises  as  described  in  Exhibit B  (except  for minor
finishing  jobs) has been  substantially  completed.  If Landlord should for any
reason  fail to  complete  such work  prior to the  Estimated  Completion  Date,
Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default  hereunder or otherwise  liable in
damages to Tenant, nor shall the Lease Term be affected,  except that if for any
reason the Demised  Premises are not ready for  occupancy  within  eighteen (18)
months  following  the  Estimated  Completion  Date,  Tenant may, at its option,
cancel and terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord  delivered  within
thirty (30) days following the expiration of such eighteen (18) month period, in
which event  neither  party shall have any further  liabilities  or  obligations
hereunder,  except  that  Landlord  shall  repay to Tenant any  prepaid  rent or
security  deposit.  When the Demised  Premises are ready for  occupancy  (which,
unless Tenant objects and Wal-Mart Staff Architect or General  Contractor  fails
to certify to the date selected by Landlord, shall be the date Landlord delivers
to Tenant the keys for the Demised  Premises with a statement to the effect that
they are ready for occupancy), Tenant agrees to accept possession thereof and to
proceed with due diligence to perform the work described  under  "Description of
Tenant's  Work" in  Exhibit  B,  and to  install  its  fixtures,  furniture  and
equipment.  In the event of any dispute as to work  performed  or required to be
performed by Landlord or Tenant,  the certificate of Wal-Mart Staff Architect or
General  Contractor  shall be  conclusive.  By occupying  the Demised  Premises,
Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the same and to have  acknowledged  that
the same fully comply with Landlord's covenants and obligations hereunder.

     2. Tenant agrees to-open the Demised Premises to the public  simultaneously
with the host "Soft Opening".  Soft opening is defined as the first day the host
will be open to the: public and will be termed "Commencement Date". The premises
will be ready for occupancy during the construction period.  Landlord and Tenant
each agree that prior to the Commencement  Date,  (termed  "Possession Date") to
execute  and  deliver  a  recordable  short  form  lease  containing  the  basic
provisions of this Lease, acknowledging that Tenant has accepted possession, and

the rental payable by Sublessor under the Head Lease being adjusted on the basis
of percentage  rent charges,  or being adjusted during the term hereof or in any
renewal  term  because  of cost of living  index  changes  or other  incremental

of any interest  payment  shall not be construed as a waiver by the Sublessor of
its right in respect of the  default  giving  rise to such  payment and shall be
without prejudice to the Sublessor's right to terminate this Sublease in respect
of such default.

     5. Sublessee's Franchise from Licensor:

of the  Premises  by  reason  of the  termination  of this  Sublease  as  herein

holdover proceedings to evict Sublessee and all those in possession in the event
such  default  remains  uncured,  and,  wherever  the default  under the License
Agreement  shall  pertain to the  payment of money by  Sublessee,  such  default
thereunder  shall  constitute  a default in the  payment of rent  hereunder  and
Sublessee  shall have all remedies  available to it hereunder as though the same
were a default in the payment of the fixed minimum rental.

     (c) Any uncured default hereunder shall constitute a material default under
the License  Agreement  and shall  entitle the Licensor to terminate the License
Agreement on the basis of such default.

or  implied,  Subless*  shall have the right to  terminate  this  Sublease  upon
written  notice hereof to Sublessee upon the occurrence of any oi or more of the
following events or conditions: .

     (i) Any  failure  by  Sublessee  to pay any  rental  or  other  amount  due
hereunder  when and as the same may be due and  payable and failure to cure such
default within five (5) days following receipt of written notice of default from
Sublessor;

     (ii) Any other  failure by Sublessee to comply with any other  provision of
this  Sublease.  and  failure  to cure such  default  within  fifteen  (15) days
following receipt of written notice of default from Sublessoor

     (iii) Any action or inaction by Sublessee,  or the sufferance of any act or
condition I Sublessee,  which would  constitute a default by the Sublessor under
the Head Lease,  regardless of whether or not the Landlord  seeks to enforce the
applicable default provisions of the Head Lease.

     (b) Upon termination of this Sublease for any reason whatsoever.  Sublessee
shall  immediate.  surrender the Premises to Sublessor in the same  condition as
existed on the commencement of this Sublease, reasonable wear and tear excepted,
and shall  immediately  vacate the Premises leaving all furniture,  fixtures and
equipment.  Six (60) days following  said  termination,  and provided  Sublessee
increases  the amount of security  held by Sublessor  cover the shortfall on the
guaranteed rental payments by Sublessee, Sublessor will release to Sublessee the
furniture movable and unattached fixtures and equipment  ("FF&E").  In the event
Sublessee  fails to put up the  additional  security to cover the rental for the
balance of the term of the Head Lease,  Sublessor shall have the right to assume
ownership of the FF&E, after crediting  Sublessee with the depreciated  value of
same. This credit shall be added to the security  deposit that is in Sublessor's
possession.  If the amount  that this sum  equals or is greater  than the rental
due,  Sublessee shall be paid the balance.  Sublessor shall use its best efforts
to find a replacement  sublessee/licensee.  If there is deficiency at the time a
replacement   sublessee/licensee   is  found.   Sublessee  shall  be  personally
responsible for th deficiency.  If no deficiency exists. Sublessee shall be paid
what is owed to him. The  depreciated  value shall I calculated  by reducing the
value of the FF&E by 50% at the time of purchase of same, and then  depreciating
the  FF&E by 20%  each  year,  with a  minimum  depreciated  value of 10% of the
original purchase price. By way of example,  if the cost of the FF&E is $12,000,
the  immediate  depreciation  is  $6,000  and  each  year  thereafter  it  shall
depreciate by 20% or a pro rata amount depending on the months involved if not a
full year. Sublessor shall have the right to file appropriate Uniform Commercial
Code forms for the  purpose of  perfecting  its  security  interest in the FF&E.
Sublessee  shall  nevertheless be obligated to pay the monthly rental until such
time as  Sublessor  secures  a  substitu  licensee/sublessee  for the  Premises.
Sublessor  shall have the right to deduct such monthly  rental from the security
deposit,  which now includes  the FF&E credit  discussed  herein,  being held by
Sublessor  until a substitute  is found.  Once a new sublessee has been secured,
Sublessee  shall be paid the  balance  that is left over for the FF&E,  less the
depreciation,  the rental paid, after deducting same from the security  deposit.
In the event the FF&E has been  leased  through a third party  leasing  company.
Sublessor's lien shall be subordinated to the prior lienholder.

     (c) In the event this Sublease is terminated  due to a default of its terms
and not as a result of default under the License  Agreement and Sublessee elects
to remain in the Travel Network system.  Sublessor,  at its absolute  discretion
may permit Licensee to do so, provided the new agency is at least five (5) miles
away from the Premises.  In the event that this occurs,  Licensee shall have the
right to continue to solicit  his/her  customer base, but wi not have any rights
in and to the telephone number of the Agency, as per the License Agreement.
<PAGE>

     (d) In addition to the  remedies of Sublessor  specified  in the  aforesaid
paragraphs,  the  parties  hereto  agree  that the  only  notices  necessary  to
terminate this Sublease and License Agreement are those enumerated herein,  with
all other notices and demands  required by statute or law being hereby waived by
Sublessee, and further that .this Sublease and the License Agreement may also be
terminated at the election of Sublessor  without farther notice or demand in the
following event:

     (i) If  Sublessee  establishes  a  pattern  of  repeated  defaults  in that
Sublessee  fails to make any payment of money under this  Sublease  when due, or
defaults in the performance of any covenants, undertakings, or obligations other
than for the payment of money  required  by this  Sublease  to be  performed  by
Sublessee,  in three (3)  consecutive  calendar months or in any four (4) months
during  the same  calendar  year  (whether  the same or  different  failures  or
defaults are involved), then notwithstanding that Sublessee has cured within the
times  prescribed for any such failures and defaults  occurring in the first two
(2) consecutive  months or in any three (3) months in the same calendar year, it
is  nevertheless  agreed that the  occurrence of such failure of default for the
third  consecutive  calendar  month or for the fourth month in the same calendar
year shall be  conclusively  deemed to be an immediate  material  breach of this

     14. Dispute Resolution:
         ------------------

     Arbitration:  Any and all  controversies  or  disputes  arising  out of, or
relating to, this Sublease or performance  Agreement or interpretation  thereof,
shall be submitted to final and binding  arbitration  as the sole and  exclusive
remedy for any such  controversy  or dispute  including  any claim of persons in
privity  with or  claiming  through,  on behalf of or in the right of  Sublessee
including,  but are not limited to,  spouses and other  family  members,  heirs,
executors, representatives, successors and assigns.

     Unless  prohibited  by  applicable  law,  any  claim  by  Sublessee  or its
representatives against Sublessor and its affiliates,  officers,  directors, and
employees,  shall be made by filing a written demand for arbitration  within one
(1) year  following the conduct,  act or other event or occurrence  first giving
rise to the claim.  Failure by  Franchisee  to file a claim  within one (1) year
will  result in the loss and  waiver  forever  of any such  claim.  The  Federal
Arbitration Act, as amended, governs the rights and duties in any arbitration.

     Arbitration shall take place according to the commercial  arbitration rules
of the American Arbitration  Association in effect as of the date the demand for
arbitration is filed.  The arbitration  shall take place at a location in Bergen
County, New Jersey selected by the American Arbitration Association.

     Arbitration  shall be  conducted  before one  arbitrator  appointed  by the
American Arbitration  Association.  The prevailing party in any such arbitration
proceeding  shall be  entitled  to recover its  expenses,  including  reasonable
attorney's fees and accounting fees, in addition to any other relief to which it
is found entitled,  including,  without limitation,  all administrative fees and
expenses,  arbitrator's  compensation,  rental fees for  hearing  room and other
costs associated with the arbitration. The arbitrator shall have no authority to
amend or modify the terms of this Agreement.

     Each party farther  agrees that,  unless such a limitation is prohibited by
applicable  law,  the other party shall not be liable for  punitive or exemplary
damages and the arbitrator  shall have no authority to award the same. The award
or decision by the arbitrator  shall be final and binding on the parties and may
be enforced by court judgment or order.  The parties  consent to the exercise of
personal  jurisdiction  over them and to the propriety of venue set forth herein
for the purpose of carrying out this  provision;  and they waive any  objections
that they would otherwise have-to the same.

     In the event any  provision  in this  Section is  determined  by a court of
competent  jurisdiction  to be legally  invalid or  unenforceable  under the law
applicable  in a particular  case,  then it is tile  intention of the parties to
this Agreement that such provision be deemed  inoperative and stricken from this
Agreement,  and that the  remainder of this  Section,  to the extent not legally
invalid or unenforceable  under applicable law, be enforced as written and as if
the invalid or  unenforceable  provision or provisions  had not been included in
this Section 14.

     Sublessor  shall  have die  right  to seek  from  any  court  of  competent
jurisdiction,  provisional  remedies  including,  but not limited to,  temporary
restraining  orders  or  preliminary   injunctions   before,   during  or  after
arbitration.  Sublessor  need not await the  outcome of the  arbitration  before
seeking provisional  remedies.  Seeking any such remedies shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of either party's right to compel  arbitration.  The parties consent
to the exercise of personal  jurisdiction  and to the  propriety of venue in any
such  courts for the  purpose of  carrying  out this  provision;  they waive any
objections  that they would otherwise have to the same; and they waive the right
to have any such action decided by a jury.

a single  instance  or  repeatedly,  shall be  deemed  a future  waiver  of such
provision or default  Receipt of  acceptance  of rent by Sublessor  shall not be

hereunder,  or  if  under  any  applicable  and  binding  law  or  rule  of  any
jurisdiction,  any provision of this Sublease is invalid or  unenforceable,  the
prior notice  requirements  hereof, or such invalid or unenforceable  provision,
shall be  modified  to the extent  required  to be valid and  enforceable.  Such
modifications to this Sublease shall be effective only in such  jurisdiction and

jurisdictions.
