         the Premises; such insurance to be in the joint name of the Tenant and
         the Landlord so as to indemnify and protect both the Tenant and the
         Landlord and to contain a "cross liability" and "severability of
         interest" clause so that the Landlord and the Tenant may be insured in
         the same manner and to the same extent as if individual policies had
         been issued to each, and will be for the amount of not less than
         $1,000,000.00 combined single limit or such other amount as may be
         reasonably required by the Landlord from time to time; such
         comprehensive general liability insurance will for the Tenant's benefit
         only include contractual liability insurance in a form and of a nature
         broad enough to insure the obligations imposed upon the Tenant under
         the terms of this Lease.
     b.  All risks insurance upon its merchandise, stock-in-trade, furniture,
         fixtures and improvements and upon all other property in the Premises
         owned by the Tenant or for which the Tenant is legally liable, and
         insurance upon all glass and plate glass in the Premises against
         breakage and damage from any cause, all in an amount equal to the full
         replacement value thereof, which amount in the event of a dispute will
         be determined by the decision of the Landlord. In the event the Tenant
         does not obtain such insurance, it is liable for the full costs of
         repair or replacement of such damage or breakage.
     c.  Boiler and machinery insurance on such boilers and pressure vessels as
         may be installed by, or under the exclusive control of, the Tenant in
         the Premises.
<PAGE>

     d.  Owned automobile insurance with respect to all motor vehicles owned by
         the Tenant and operated in its business.

36.  The Tenant's policies of insurance hereinbefore referred to will contain
     the following:
     a.  provisions that the Landlord is protected notwithstanding any act,
         neglect or misrepresentation of the Tenant which might otherwise result
         in the avoidance of claim under such policies will not be affected or
         invalidated by any act, omission or negligence of any third party which
         is not within the knowledge or control of the insured(s);
     b.  provisions that such policies and the coverage evidenced thereby will
         be primary and noncontributing with respect to any policies carried by
         the Landlord and that any coverage carried by the Landlord will be
         excess coverage;
     c.  all insurance referred to above will provide for waiver of the
         insurer's rights of subrogation as against the Landlord; and
     d.  provisions that such policies of insurance will not be cancelled
         without the insurer providing the Landlord thirty (30) days written
         notice stating when such cancellation will be effective.

37.  The Tenant will further during the whole of the term maintain such other
     insurance in such amounts and in such sums as the Landlord may reasonably
     determine from time to time. Evidence satisfactory to the Landlord of all
     such policies of insurance will be provided to the Landlord upon request.

38.  The Tenant will not do, omit or permit to be done or omitted upon the
     Premises anything which will cause any rate of insurance upon the Building
     or any part thereof to be increased or cause such insurance to be
     cancelled. If any such rate of insurance will be increased as aforesaid,
     the Tenant will pay to the Landlord the amount of the increase as
     Additional Rent. If any insurance policy upon the Building or any part
     thereof is cancelled or threatened to be cancelled by reason of the use or
     occupancy by the Tenant or any act or omission as aforesaid, the Tenant
     will immediately remedy or rectify such use, occupation, act or omission
     upon being requested to do so by the Landlord, and if the tenant fails to
     so remedy or rectify, the Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease
     and the Tenant will immediately deliver up possession of the Premises to
     the Landlord.

39.  The Tenant will not at any time during the term hereof use, exercise, carry
     on or permit or suffer to be used, exercised, carried on, in or upon the
     Premises or any part thereof, any noxious, noisome or offence act, trade
     business occupation or calling, and no act, matter or thing whatsoever will
     at any time during the said term be done in or upon the Premises, or any
     part thereof, which will or may be or grow to the annoyance, nuisance,
     grievance, damage or disturbance of the occupiers or owners of the
     Building, or adjoining lands or premises.

     LANDLORD'S INSURANCE
40.  The Landlord will take out or cause to be taken out and keep or cause to be
     kept in full force and effect during the whole of the term:
     a.  extended fire and extended coverage insurance on the building, except
         foundations, on a replacement cost basis, subject to such deductions
         and exceptions as the Landlord may determine; such insurance will be in
         a form or forms normally in use from time to time for buildings and
         improvements of a similar nature similarly situate, including, should
         the Landlord so elect, insurance to cover any loss of rental income
         which may be sustained by the Landlord;

<PAGE>

     b.  boiler and machinery insurance of such boilers and pressure vessels as
         may be installed by, or under the exclusive control of, the Landlord in
         the building (other than such boilers and pressure vessels to be
         insured by the Tenant hereunder);
     c.  comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for bodily
         injury, including death and property damage in such form and subject to
         such deductions and exceptions as the Landlord may determine; provided
         that nothing herein will prevent the Landlord from providing or
         maintaining such lesser, additional or broader coverage as the Landlord
         may elect in its discretion.

41.  The Landlord agrees to request its insurers, upon written request of the
     Tenant, to have all insurance taken out and maintained by the Landlord
     provide for waiver of the Landlord's insurers' rights of subrogation as
     against the Tenant when and to the extent permitted from time to time by
     its insurers.

     ABANDONMENT
42.  If at any time during the term of this Lease, the Tenant abandons the
     Premises or any part of the Premises, the Landlord may, at its option,
     enter the Premises by any means without being liable for any prosecution
     for such entering, and without becoming liable to the Tenant for damages or
     for any payment of any kind whatever, and may, at the Landlord's
     discretion, as agent for the Tenant, relet the Premises, or any part of the
     Premises, for the whole or any part of the then unexpired term, and may
     receive and collect all rent payable by virtue of such reletting, and, at
     the Landlord's option, hold the Tenant liable for any difference between
     the Rent that would have been payable under this Lease during the balance
     of the unexpired term, if this Lease had continued in force, and the net
     rent for such period realized by the Landlord by means of the reletting. If
     the Landlord's right of reentry is exercised following abandonment of the
     premises by the Tenant, then the Landlord may consider any personal
     property belonging to the Tenant and left on the Premises to also have been
     abandoned, in which case the Landlord may dispose of all such personal
     property in any manner the Landlord will deem proper and is relieved of all
     liability for doing so.

     SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
43.  This Lease and the Tenant's rights hereunder will automatically be
     subordinate to any mortgage or mortgages, or encumbrance resulting from any
     other method of financing or refinancing, now or hereafter in force against
     the Lands or Building or any part thereof, as now or hereinafter
     constituted, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the
     security thereof; and, upon the request of the Landlord, the Tenant will
     execute such documentation as may be required by the Landlord in order to
     confirm and evidence such subordination.

44.  The Tenant will, in the event any proceedings are brought, whether in
     foreclosure or by way of the exercise of the power of sale or otherwise,
     under any other mortgage or other method of financing or refinancing made
     by the Landlord in respect of the Building, or any portion thereof, attorn
     to the encumbrancer upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such
     encumbrancer as the Landlord under this Lease, but only if such
     encumbrancer should so elect and require.

<PAGE>

45.  Upon the written request of the Tenant, the Landlord agrees to request any
     mortgagee or encumbrancer of the Lands (present or future) to enter into a
     non-disturbance covenant in favor of the Tenant, whereby such mortgagee or
     encumbrancer will agree not to disturb the Tenant in its possession and
     enjoyment of the Premises for so long as the Tenant is not in default under
     this Lease.

     REGISTRATION OF CAVEAT
46.  The Tenant will not register this Lease, provided, however, that:
     a.  The Tenant may file a caveat respecting this Lease but will not be
         entitled to attach this Lease, and, in any event, will not file such
         caveat prior to the commencement date of the term. The caveat will not
         state the Base Rent or any other financial provisions contained in this
         Lease.
     b.  If the Landlord's permanent financing has not been fully advanced, the
         Tenant covenants and agrees not to file a caveat until such time as the
         Landlord's permanent financing has been fully advanced.

     ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
47.  Whenever requested by the Landlord, a mortgagee or any other encumbrance
     holder or other third party having an interest in the Building or any part
     thereof, the Tenant will, within ten (10) days of the request, execute and
     deliver an estoppel certificate or other form of certified acknowledgement
     as to the Commencement Date, the status and the validity of this Lease, the
     state of the rental account hereunder, any incurred defaults on the part of
     the Landlord alleged by the Tenant, and such other information as may
     reasonably be required.

     SALE BY LANDLORD
48.  In the event of any sale, transfer or lease by the Landlord of the Building
     or any interest therein or portion thereof containing the Premises or
     assignment by the Landlord of this Lease or any interest of the Landlord
     therein to the extent that the purchaser, transferee, tenant or assignee
     assumes the covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Lease, the
     Landlord will without further written agreement be freed and relieved of
     liability under such covenants and obligations. This Lease may be assigned
     by the Landlord to any mortgagee or encumbrancee of the Building as
     security.

     TENANT'S INDEMNITY
49.  The Tenant will and does hereby indemnify and save harmless the Landlord of
     and from all loss and damage and all actions, claims, costs, demands,
     expenses, fines, liabilities and suits of any nature whatsoever for which
     the Landlord will or may become liable, incur or suffer by reason of a
     breach, violation or nonperformance by the Tenant of any covenant, term or
     provision hereof or by reason of any builders' or other liens for any work
     done or materials provided or services rendered for alterations,
     improvements or repairs, made by or on behalf of the Tenant to the
     Premises, or by reason of any injury occasioned to or suffered by any
     person or damage to any property, or by reason of any wrongful act or
     omission, default or negligence on the part of the Tenant or any of its
     agents, concessionaires, contractors, customers, employees, invitees or
     licensees in or about the Building.

50.  It is agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant that the Landlord will not
     be liable for any loss, injury, or damage to persons or property resulting
     from falling plaster, steam, electricity, water, rain, snow or dampness, or
     from any other cause.

<PAGE>

51.  It is agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant that the Landlord will not
     be liable for any loss or damage caused by acts or omissions of other
     tenants or occupants, their employees or agents or any persons not the
     employees or agents of the Landlord, or for any damage caused by the
     construction of any public or quasi-public works, and in no event will the
     Landlord be liable for any consequential or indirect damages suffered by
     the Tenant.

52.  It is agreed between the Landlord and the Tenant that the Landlord will not
     be liable for any loss, injury or damage caused to persons using the Common
     Areas and Facilities or to vehicles or their contents or any other property
     on them, or for any damage to property entrusted to its or their employees,
     or for the loss of any property by theft or otherwise, and all property
     kept or stored in the Premises will be at the sole risk of the Tenant.

     LIENS
53.  The Tenant will immediately upon demand by the Landlord remove or cause to
     be removed and thereafter institute and diligently prosecute any action
     pertinent thereto, any builders' or other lien or claim of lien noted or
     filed against or otherwise constituting an encumbrance on any title of the
     Landlord. Without limiting the foregoing obligations of the Tenant, the
     Landlord may cause the same to be removed, in which case the Tenant will
     pay to the Landlord as Additional Rent, the cost thereof including the
     Landlord's legal costs.

     GOVERNING LAW
54.  It is the intention of the parties to this Lease that the tenancy created
     by this Lease and the performance under this Lease, and all suits and
     special proceedings under this Lease, be construed in accordance with and
     governed, to the exclusion of the law of any other forum, by the laws of
     the State of New York, without regard to the jurisdiction in which any
     action or special proceeding may be instituted.

     SEVERABILITY
55.  If there is a conflict between any provision of this Lease and the
     applicable legislation of the State of New York (the "Act"), the Act will
     prevail and such provisions of the Lease will be amended or deleted as
     necessary in order to comply with the Act. Further, any provisions that are
     required by the Act are incorporated into this Lease.

56.  If there is a conflict between any provision of this Lease and any form of
     lease prescribed by the Act, that prescribed form will prevail and such
     provisions of the lease will be amended or deleted as necessary in order to
     comply with that prescribed form. Further, any provisions that are required
     by that prescribed form are incorporated into this Lease.

     AMENDMENT OF LEASE
57.  Any amendment or modification of this Lease or additional obligation
     assumed by either party in connection with this Lease will only be binding
     if evidenced in writing signed by each party or an authorized
     representative of each party.

     ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
58.  Without the prior, express, and written consent of the Landlord, the Tenant
     will not assign this Lease, or sublet or grant any concession or license to
     use the Premises or any part of the Premises. A consent by Landlord to one
     assignment, subletting, concession, or license will not be deemed to be a
     consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, concession, or license.
     An assignment, subletting, concession, or license without the prior written
     consent of Landlord, or an assignment or subletting by operation of law,
     will be void and will, at Landlord's option, terminate this Lease.

<PAGE>

     DAMAGE TO PREMISES
59.  If the Premises, or any part of the Premises, will be partially damaged by
     fire or other casualty not due to the Tenant's negligence or willful act or
     that of the Tenant's employee, family, agent, or visitor, the Premises will
     be promptly repaired by the Landlord and there will be an abatement of rent
     corresponding with the time during which, and the extent to which, the
     Premises may have been untenantable. However, if the Premises should be
     damaged other than by the Tenant's negligence or willful act or that of the
     Tenant's employee, family, agent, or visitor to the extent that the
     Landlord will decide not to rebuild or repair, the term of this Lease will
     end and the Rent will be prorated up to the time of the damage.

     EMINENT DOMAIN AND EXPROPRIATION
60.  If during the term of this Lease, title is taken to the whole or any part
     of the Building by any competent authority under the power of eminent
     domain or by expropriation, which taking, in the reasonable opinion of the
     Landlord, does not leave a sufficient remainder to constitute an
     economically viable building, the Landlord may at its option, terminate
     this Lease on the date possession is taken by or on behalf of such
     authority. Upon such termination, the Tenant will immediately deliver up
     possession of the Premises, Base Rent and any Additional Rent will be
     payable up to the date of such termination, and the Tenant will be entitled
     to be repaid by the Landlord any rent paid in advance and unearned or an
     appropriate portion thereof. In the event of any such taking, the Tenant
     will have no claim upon the Landlord for the value of its property or the
     unexpired portion of the term hereof, but the parties will each be entitled
     to separately advance their claims for compensation for the loss of their
     respective interests and to receive and retain such compensation as may be
     awarded to each respectively. If an award of compensation made to the
     Landlord specifically includes an award for the Tenant, the Landlord will
     account therefor to the Tenant and vice versa.

     CONDEMNATION
61.  A condemnation of the Building or any portion of the Premises will result
     in termination of this Lease. The Landlord will receive the total of any
     consequential damages awarded as a result of the condemnation proceedings.
     All future rent installments to be paid by the Tenant under this Lease will
     be terminated.

     TENANT'S REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS
62.  The Tenant covenants with the Landlord to occupy the Premises in a
     tenant-like manner and not to permit waste. The Tenant will at all times
     and at its sole expense, subject to the Landlord's repair, maintain and
     keep the Premises, reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire, lightning,
     tempest, structural repairs, and repairs necessitated from hazards and
     perils against which the Landlord is required to insure excepted. Without
     limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tenant will keep, repair,
     replace and maintain all glass, wiring, pipes and mechanical apparatus in,
     upon or serving the Premises in good and tenantable repair at its sole
     expense. When it becomes (or, acting reasonably, should have become) aware
     of same, the Tenant will notify the Landlord of any damage to or deficiency
     or defect in any part of the Premises or the Building. The Tenant will not
     use or keep any device which might overload the capacity of any floor,
     wall, utility, electrical or mechanical facility or service in the Premises
     or the Building.

<PAGE>

63.  The Tenant covenants with the Landlord that the Landlord, its servants,
     agents and workmen may enter and view the state of repair of the Premises
     and that the Tenant will repair the Premises according to notice in writing
     received from the Landlord, subject to the Landlord's repair obligations.
     If the Tenant refuses or neglects to repair as soon as reasonably possible
     after written demand, the Landlord may, but will not be obligated to,
     undertake such repairs without liability to the Tenant for any loss or
     damage that may occur to the Tenant's merchandise, fixtures or other
     property or to the Tenant's business by reason thereof, and upon completion
     thereof, the Tenant will pay, upon demand, as Additional Rent, the
     Landlord's cost of making such repairs plus fifteen percent (15%) thereof
     for overhead and supervision.

64.  The Tenant will not make or have others make alterations, additions or
     improvements or erect or have others erect any partitions or install or
     have others install any trade fixtures, exterior signs, floor covering,
     interior or exterior lighting, plumbing fixtures, shades, awnings, exterior
     decorations or make any changes to the Premises or otherwise without first
     obtaining the Landlord's written approval thereto, such written approval
     not to be unreasonably withheld in the case of alterations, additions or
     improvements to the interior of the Premises.

65.  The Tenant will not install in or for the Premises any special locks, safes
     or apparatus for air-conditioning, cooling, heating, illuminating,
     refrigerating or ventilating the Premises without first obtaining the
     Landlord's written approval thereto. Locks may not be added or changed
     without the prior written agreement of both the Landlord and the Tenant.

66.  When seeking any approval of the Landlord for Tenant repairs as required in
     this Lease, the Tenant will present to the Landlord plans and
     specifications of the proposed work which will be subject to the prior
     approval of the Landlord, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

67.  The Tenant will promptly pay all contractors, material suppliers and
     workmen so as to minimize the possibility of a lien attaching to the
     Premises or the Building. Should any claim of lien be made or filed the
     Tenant will promptly cause the same to be discharged.

68.  The Tenant will be responsible at its own expense to replace all electric
     light bulbs, tubes, ballasts or fixtures serving the Premises.

69.  The Tenant will professionally steam clean any carpets on a yearly basis
     and at the termination of this Lease or the Landlord may charge the Tenant
     or deduct the cost of having the carpets professionally steam cleaned from
     the security deposit.

     LANDLORD'S REPAIRS
70.  The Landlord covenants and agrees to effect at its expense repairs of a
     structural nature to the structural elements of the roof, foundation and
     outside walls of the Building, whether occasioned or necessitated by faulty
     workmanship, materials, improper installation, construction defects or
     settling, or otherwise, unless such repair is necessitated by the
     negligence of the Tenant, its servants, agents, employees or invitees, in
     which event the cost of such repairs will be paid by the Tenant together
     with an administration fee of fifteen percent (15%) for the Landlord's
     overhead and supervision.

     CARE AND USE OF PREMISES
71.  The Tenant will promptly notify the Landlord of any damage, or of any
     situation that may significantly interfere with the normal use of the
     Premises or to any furnishings supplied by the Landlord.

<PAGE>

72.  Vehicles which the Landlord reasonably considers unsightly, noisy,
     dangerous, improperly insured, inoperable or unlicensed are not permitted
     in the Tenant's parking stall(s), and such vehicles may be towed away at
     the Tenant's expense. Parking facilities are provided at the Tenant's own
     risk. The Tenant is required to park in only the space allotted to them.

73.  The Tenant will not make (or allow to be made) any noise or nuisance which,
     in the reasonable opinion of the Landlord, disturbs the comfort or
     convenience of other tenants.

74.  The Tenant will dispose of its trash in a timely, tidy, proper and sanitary
     manner.

75.  The Tenant will not engage in any illegal trade or activity on or about the
     Premises.

76.  The Landlord and Tenant will comply with standards of health, sanitation,
     fire, housing and safety as required by law.

77.  The hallways, passages and stairs of the building in which the Premises are
     situated will be used for no purpose other than going to and from the
     Premises and the Tenant will not in any way encumber those areas with
     boxes, furniture or other material or place or leave rubbish in those areas
     and other areas used in common with any other tenant.

     SURRENDER OF PREMISES
78.  The Tenant covenants to surrender the Premises, at the expiration of the
     tenancy created in this Lease, in the same condition as the Premises were
     in upon delivery of possession under this Lease, reasonable wear and tear,
     damage by fire or the elements, and unavoidable casualty excepted, and
     agrees to surrender all keys for the Premises to the Landlord at the place
     then fixed for payment of rent and will inform the Landlord of all
     combinations to locks, safes and vaults, if any. All alterations, additions
     and improvements constructed or installed in the Premises and attached in
     any manner to the floor, walls or ceiling, including any leasehold
     improvements, equipment, floor covering or fixtures (including trade
     fixtures), will remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises and will
     become the absolute property of the Landlord except to the extent that the
     Landlord requires removal thereof. Should the Tenant abandon the Premises
     or should this Lease be terminated before the proper expiration of the term
     due to a default on the part of the Tenant then, in such event, as of the
     moment of default of the Tenant all trade fixtures and furnishings of the
     Tenant (whether or not attached in any manner to the Premises) will, except
     to the extent the Landlord requires the removal thereof become and be
     deemed to be the property of the Landlord without indemnity to the Tenant
     and as liquidated damages in respect of such default but without prejudice
     to any other righter remedy of the Landlord. Notwithstanding that any trade
     fixtures, furnishings, alterations, additions, improvements or fixtures are
     or may become the property of the Landlord, the Tenant will forthwith
     remove all or part of the same and will make good any damage caused to the
     Premises resulting from the installation or removal thereof, all at the
     Tenant's expense, should the Landlord so require by notice to the Tenant.
     If the Tenant, after receipt of such notice from the Landlord, fails to
     promptly remove any trade fixtures, furnishings, alterations, improvements
     and fixtures in accordance with such notice, the Landlord may enter into
     the Premises and remove therefrom all or part of such trade fixtures,
     furnishings, alterations, additions, improvements and fixtures without any
     liability and at the expense of the Tenant, which expense will forthwith be
     paid by the Tenant to the Landlord. The Tenant's obligation to observe or
     perform the covenants contained herein will survive the expiration or other
     termination of the term of this Lease.

<PAGE>

     HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
79.  The Tenant will not keep or have on the Premises any article or thing of a
     dangerous, inflammable, or explosive character that might unreasonably
     increase the danger of fire on the Premises or that might be considered
     hazardous by any responsible insurance company.

     RULES AND REGULATIONS
80.  The Tenant will obey all rules and regulations posted by the Landlord
     regarding the use and care of the building, parking lot, laundry room and
     other common facilities that are provided for the use of the Tenant in and
     around the building containing the Premises.

     ADDRESS FOR NOTICE
81.  For any matter relating to this tenancy, whether during or after this
     tenancy has been terminated:
     a.  the address of the Tenant is the Premises during this tenancy, and
         Suite 144, SUNY Park, Binghamton. NY 13902 after this tenancy is
         terminated, and
     b.  the address of the Landlord is 2 Court Street Owego, NY, both during
         this tenancy and after it is terminated.

     The Landlord or the Tenant may, on written notice to each other, change
     their respective addresses for notice under this Lease.

     RIGHT TO SHOW PREMISES
82.  The Tenant acknowledged that the Landlord or its agent will have the right
     to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to show them to prospective
     purchasers, encumbrancers, lessees or assignees, and may also during the
     ninety days preceding the termination of the terms of this Lease, place
     upon the Premises the usual type of notice to the effect that the Premises
     are for rent, which notice the Tenant will permit to remain on them.

     NO WAIVER
83.  No provision of this Lease will be deemed to have been waived by the
     Landlord unless a written waiver from the Landlord has first been obtained
     and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no acceptance of
     rent subsequent to any default and no condoning, excusing or overlooking by
     the Landlord on previous occasions of any default nor any earlier written
     waiver will be taken to operate as a waiver by the Landlord or in any way
     to defeat or affect the rights and remedies of the Landlord.

     LANDLORD'S PERFORMANCE
84.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if the
     Landlord is delayed or hindered or prevented from the performance of any
     term, covenant or act required under this Lease by reason of strikes, labor
     troubles, inability to procure materials or services, power failure,
     restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection,
     sabotage, rebellion, war, act of God or other reason, whether of a like
     nature or not, which is not the fault of the Landlord, then performance of
     such term, covenant or act will be excused for the period of the delay and
     the Landlord will be entitled to perform such term, covenant or act within
     the appropriate time period after the expiration of the period of such
     delay.

     REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
85.  No reference to or exercise of any specific right or remedy by the Landlord
     will prejudice or preclude the Landlord from any other remedy whether
     allowed at law or in equity or expressly provided for in this Lease. No
     such remedy will be exclusive or dependent upon any other such remedy, but
     the Landlord may from time to time exercise any one or more of such
     remedies independently or in combination.

     LANDLORD MAY PERFORM
86.  If the Tenant fails to observe, perform or keep any of the provisions of
     this Lease to be observed, performed or kept by it and such failure is not
     rectified within the time limits specified in this Lease, the Landlord may,
     but will not be obliged to, at its discretion and without prejudice,
     rectify the default of the Tenant. The Landlord will have the right to
     enter the Premises for the purpose of correcting or remedying any default
     of the Tenant and to remain until the default has been corrected or
     remedied. However, any expenditure by the Landlord incurred in any
     correction of a default of the Tenant will not be deemed to waive or
     release the Tenant's default or the Landlord's right to take any action as
     may be otherwise permissible under this Lease in the case of any default.

     GENERAL PROVISIONS
87.  This Lease will extend to and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
     the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, as
     the case may be, of each party to this Lease. All covenants are to be
     construed as conditions of this Lease.

88.  All sums payable by the Tenant to the Landlord pursuant to any provision of
     this Lease will be deemed to be additional rent and will be recovered by
     the Landlord as rental arrears.

89.  Where there is more than one Tenant executing this Lease, all Tenants are
     jointly and severally liable for each other's acts, omissions and
     liabilities pursuant to this Lease.

90.  The Tenant will be charged an additional amount of $25.00 for each N.S.F.
     check or check returned by the Tenant's financial institution.

91.  All schedules to this Lease are incorporated into and form an integral part
     of this Lease.

92.  Headings are inserted for the convenience of the parties only and are not
     to be considered when interpreting this Agreement. Words in the singular
     mean and include the plural and vice versa. Words in the masculine mean and
     include the feminine and vice versa.

93.  This Agreement may be executed in counterpart.

94.  Time will be of the essence of this Agreement.

95.  This Lease will constitute the entire agreement between the Landlord and
     the Tenant. Any prior understanding or representation of any kind preceding
     the date of this Lease will not be binding on either party except to the
     extent incorporated in this Lease. In particular, no warranties of the
     Landlord not expressed in this Lease are to be implied.

Dear Lee:

      The Board of Directors of NuTech Digital, Inc. (the "Company") has
approved a grant to you of an incentive stock option covering 2,000,000 shares
of restricted common stock as a performance incentive. The market value of the
Company's common stock today is $0.35. Because these are intended to be
incentive stock options, the exercise price for you will be $0.385, or 110% of
the market price. The term of the option will be five years, until June 17,
2009, after which time it shall not be exercisable. The Company will seek
shareholder approval of the option at its next annual meeting of shareholders.
The Company will register the option on an S-8 Registration Statement. You may
not transfer this option other than by Will or the laws of descent and
distribution. During your lifetime, this option will be exercisable only by you.
The option will be exercisable by you when and if the Company meets the
following milestones:

      (1) Your right to purchase 1,000,000 shares will vest if the Company earns
$2,000,000 in revenues during any calendar quarter of the 2004 fiscal year;

      (2) Your right to purchase 500,000 shares will vest if the Company earns
at least $5,000,000 in revenues during the 2004 fiscal year; and

      (3) Your right to purchase 500,000 shares will be issued to you upon the
successful production by the Company of no less than two major music concerts
during the 2004 fiscal year. A major music concert for this purpose shall be
defined as a concert whose production budget is no less than $250,000.

      If, for any reason, the option does not qualify for incentive option
treatment under section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, it will be considered
to be a non-qualified option.

      The Board of Directors is confident in your ability to successfully meet
these performance objectives. If you agree to this proposal, please countersign
this letter at the space indicated below.
