4.    DELIVERY OF POSSESSION.

If for any reason Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant
on the Commencement Date, and such failure is not caused by an act or omission
of Tenant, the Expiration Date shall be extended by the number of days the
Commencement Date has been delayed and the validity of this Lease shall not be
impaired nor shall Landlord be subject to any liability for such failure; but
Rent shall be abated until delivery of possession. Provided, however, if the
Commencement Date has been delayed by an act or omission of Tenant then Rent
shall not be abated until delivery of possession and the Expiration Date shall
not be extended. Delivery of possession shall be deemed to occur on the earlier
of the date Landlord receives a Certificate of Occupancy or upon substantial
completion of the Premises (as certified by Landlord's architect). If Landlord
permits Tenant to enter into possession of the Premises before the Commencement
Date, such possession shall be subject to the provisions of this Lease,
including, without limitation, the payment of Rent (unless otherwise agreed in
writing).

Within ten (10) days of delivery of possession Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
and Tenant shall execute an Acceptance of Premises in which Tenant shall
certify, among other things, that (a) Landlord has satisfactorily completed
Landlord's Work to the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D", unless written
exception is set forth thereon, and (b) that Tenant accepts the Premises.
Tenant's failure to execute and deliver the Acceptance of Premises shall be
conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Landlord has satisfactorily
completed Landlord's Work to the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D".

In the event Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises following execution
of this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for all
costs incurred by Landlord in connection with entering into this Lease
including, but not limited to, broker fees and commissions, sums paid for the
preparation of a floor and/or space plan for the Premises, costs incurred in
performing Landlord's Work pursuant to Exhibit "D", loss of rental income,
attorneys' fees and costs, and any other damages for breach of this Lease
established by Landlord.

5.    INTENDED USE OF THE PREMISES.

The statement in this Lease of the nature of the business to be conducted by
Tenant in the Premises does not constitute a representation or guaranty by the
Landlord as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the conduct
of such business in the Premises, or that it is lawful or permissible under the
Certificate of Occupancy issued for the Building, or is otherwise permitted by
law. Tenant's taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as
against Tenant, that, at the time such possession was taken, the Premises were
satisfactory for Tenant's intended use.

6.    RENT.

      6.1.  Payment of Rent. Tenant shall pay Rent for the Premises. Monthly
Installments of Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each
calendar month of the Term. If the Term begins (or ends) on other than the first
(or last) day of a calendar month, Rent for the partial month shall be prorated
based on the number of days in that month. Rent shall be paid to Landlord at the
Rent Payment Address set forth in Section 2.7., or to such other person at such
place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, without any prior
demand therefor and without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United
States of America. Tenant shall pay Landlord the first Monthly Installment of
Base Rent upon execution of this Lease.

      6.2.  Adjusted Base Rent.

      6.3.  Additional Rent for Tax Costs and Operating Expenses. Tenant shall
pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of Tax Costs and Operating Expenses
(hereinafter sometimes together referred to as Direct Costs) based on the
percentage set forth in Section 2.18. However, if during any calendar year of
the Term the occupancy of the Project is less than ninety-five percent (95%),
then Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of the variable components of
Operating Expenses, as reasonably determined by Landlord, to determine the
amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Project been
ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during that calendar year. This estimated
amount shall be deemed the amount of Operating Expenses for that calendar year.
For purposes hereof, "variable components" shall include only those Operating
Expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels.

            6.3.1. Definitions. As used in this Section 6.3.1., the following
      terms shall have the following meanings:

                                     Page 3            L __________ T __________

            levied, assessed or charged by the United States or the State,
            County or City in which the Project is located, or any other local
            government authority or agency or political subdivision thereof. Tax
            Costs for each tax year shall be apportioned to determine the Tax
            Costs for the subject calendar years.

                  Landlord, at Landlord's sole discretion, may contest any taxes
            levied or assessed against the Building or Project during the Term.
            If Landlord contests any taxes levied or assessed during the Term,
            Tenant shall pay Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Share of all costs
            incurred by Landlord in connection with the contest.

                  6.3.1.2. Operating Expenses shall mean any and all expenses
            incurred by Landlord in connection with the management, maintenance,

            with respect to Covenants, Conditions and/or Restrictions,

            Landlord in contracting with a company or companies to provide

            installation, maintenance, repair or removal of related equipment,
            and any exit fees or stranded cost charges mandated by the State;

            of any energy or other cost saving equipment used by Landlord to

            telecommunication lines and systems if responsibility therefor is
            assumed by Landlord as discussed in Section 35. hereof); reasonable
            reserves for replacements as may be customary in the geographic area
            in which the Project is located; the cost of license fees related to
            the Project; the cost of all charges for property (all risk),
            liability, rent loss and all other insurance for the Project to the
            extent that such insurance is required to be carried by Landlord
            under any lease, mortgage or deed of trust covering the whole or a
            substantial part of the Project or the Building, or, if not required
            under any such lease, mortgage or deed of trust, then to the extent
            such insurance is carried by owners of properties comparable to the
            Project; the cost of all building and cleaning supplies and
            materials; the cost of all charges for security services, cleaning,

      6.4.  Determination and Payment of Tax Costs and Operating Expenses.

                                     Page 4            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
            6.4.1. On or before the last day of each December during the Term of
      this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement showing
      in reasonable detail Landlord's projected Direct Costs for the succeeding
      calendar year. If during the course of the calendar year Landlord
      determines that actual Direct Costs will vary from its estimate by more
      than five percent (5%), Landlord may deliver to Tenant a written statement
      showing Landlord's revised estimate of Direct Costs. On the next payment
      date for Monthly Installments of Rent following Tenant's receipt of either
      such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional amount equal to
      such monthly Rent increase adjustment (as set forth on Landlord's
      statement). Thereafter, the monthly Rent adjustment payments becoming due
      shall be in the amount set forth in such projected Rent adjustment
      statement from Landlord. Neither Landlord's failure to deliver nor late
      delivery of such statement shall constitute a default by Landlord or a
      waiver of Landlord's right to any Rent adjustment provided for herein.

            6.4.2. On or before the first day of each April during the Term of
      this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement of
      reconciliation (the Reconciliation) showing in reasonable detail
      Landlord's actual Direct Costs for the prior year, together with a full
      statement of any adjustments necessary to reconcile any sums paid as
      estimated Rent adjustments during the prior year with those sums actually
      payable for such prior year. In the event such Reconciliation shows that
      additional sums are due from Tenant, Tenant shall pay such sums to
      Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of such Reconciliation. In the
      event such Reconciliation shows that a credit is due Tenant, such credit
      shall be credited against the sums next becoming due from Tenant, unless
      this Lease has expired or been terminated pursuant to the terms hereof
      (and all sums due Landlord have been paid), in which event such sums shall
      be refunded to Tenant. Neither Landlord's failure to deliver nor late
      delivery of such Reconciliation to Tenant by April first shall constitute
      a default by Landlord or operate as a waiver of Landlord's right to
      collect all Rent due hereunder.

            6.4.3. So long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of the
      Lease and provided Notice of Tenant's request is given to Landlord within
      thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Reconciliation, Tenant may
      inspect Landlord's Reconciliation accounting records relating to Direct
      Costs at Landlord's corporate office, during normal business hours, for
      the purpose of verifying the charges contained in such statement. The
      audit must be completed within sixty (60) days of Landlord's receipt of
      Tenant's Notice, unless such period is extended by Landlord (in Landlord's
      reasonable discretion). Before conducting any audit however, Tenant must
      pay in full the amount of Direct Costs billed. Tenant may only review
      those records that specifically relate to Direct Costs. Tenant may not
      review any other leases or Landlord's tax returns or financial statements.
      In conducting an audit, Tenant must utilize an independent certified
      public accountant experienced in auditing records related to commercial
      property operations. The proposed accountant is subject to Landlord's
      reasonable prior approval. The audit shall be conducted in accordance with
      generally accepted rules of auditing practices. Tenant may not conduct an
      audit more often than once each calendar year. Tenant may audit records
      relating to a calendar year only one time. No audit shall cover a period
      of time other than the calendar year from which Landlord's Reconciliation
      was generated. Upon receipt thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a
      copy of the audit report and all accompanying data. Tenant and Tenant's
      auditor shall keep confidential any agreements involving the rights
      provided in this section and the results of any audit conducted hereunder.
      As a condition precedent to Tenant's right to conduct an audit, Tenant's
      auditor shall sign a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably
      acceptable to Landlord. However, Tenant shall be permitted to furnish
      information to its attorneys, accountants and auditors to the extent
      necessary to perform their respective services for Tenant.

      6.5.  Definition of Rent. All costs and expenses other than Base Rent,
that Tenant assumes or agrees or is obligated to pay to Landlord under this
Lease shall be deemed Additional Rent (which, together with the Base Rent, is
sometimes referred to as Rent).

      6.6.  Taxes on Tenant's Use and Occupancy. In addition to the Rent and any
other charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon
demand for any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes)
which are not otherwise reimbursable under this Lease, whether or not now
customary or within the contemplation of the parties, where such taxes are upon,
measured by or reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of Tenant's
equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the
Premises, or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the
Premises by or for Tenant, other than Building Standard Tenant Improvements made
by Landlord, regardless of whether title to such improvements is held by Tenant
or Landlord; (b) the gross or net Rent payable under this Lease, including,
without limitation, any rental or gross receipts tax levied by any taxing
authority with respect to the receipt of the Rent hereunder; (c) the possession,
leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or
occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) this
transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring
an interest or an estate in the Premises. If it becomes unlawful for Tenant to
reimburse Landlord for any costs as required under this Lease, the Base Rent
shall be revised to net Landlord the same net Rent after imposition of any tax
or other charge upon Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord but for the
reimbursement being unlawful.

7.    LATE CHARGES.

                                     Page 5            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
If Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or other amounts or charges which
Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease, then Tenant shall pay
Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of each such installment if
any such installment is not received by Landlord within five (5) days from the
date it is due. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any Rent will cause
Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not
contemplated under this Lease including, without limitation, administrative
costs and processing and accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is
extremely difficult to ascertain. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late
charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair
compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered as a result of such late payment
by Tenant. However, the late charge is not intended to cover Landlord's
attorneys' fees and costs relating to delinquent Rent. Acceptance of any late
charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such
late payment by nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or
remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Late charges are deemed
Additional Rent.

In no event shall this provision for the imposition of a late charge be deemed
to grant to Tenant a grace period or an extension of time within which to pay
any Rent due hereunder or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy
available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay such Rent when due.

8.    SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord a Security
Deposit in the amount set forth in Section 2.15. as security for Tenant's
performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that
the Security Deposit may be commingled with funds of Landlord and Landlord shall
have no obligation or liability for payment of interest on such deposit. Tenant
shall not mortgage, assign, transfer or encumber the Security Deposit without
the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt by Tenant to do so shall
be void, without force or effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord.

If Tenant fails to timely pay any Rent or other amount due under this Lease, or
fails to perform any of the terms hereof, Landlord may, at its option and
without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have, appropriate and
apply or use all or any portion of the Security Deposit for Rent payments or any
other amount then due and unpaid, for payment of any amount for which Landlord
has become obligated as a result of Tenant's default or breach, and for any loss
or damage sustained by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default or breach. Once
each twelve (12) month period of this Lease, Landlord shall notify Tenant of
Landlord's intent to so apply the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof,
prior to such application, and Tenant shall have five (5) business days in which
to remedy the matter giving rise to Landlord's proposed application of the
Security Deposit. Other than the preceding notification and opportunity to cure,
Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant with notice and an opportunity
to cure prior to application of the Security Deposit. If Landlord so uses any of
the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand
therefor, restore the Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited.
Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute an act of default hereunder and
Landlord shall have the right to exercise any remedy provided for in Section 19.
hereof.

If Tenant defaults under this Lease more than two (2) times during any calendar
year, irrespective of whether such default is cured, then, without limiting
Landlord's other rights and remedies, Landlord may, in Landlord's sole
discretion, modify the amount of the required Security Deposit. Within ten (10)
days after Notice of such modification, Tenant shall submit to Landlord the
required additional sums. Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute an act of

9.    TENANT'S USE OF THE PREMISES.

      with a proposed assignment or sublet of the Premises, Tenant shall provide
      Notice to Landlord of its request for approval of such proposed change in
      Use. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with such information
      concerning the proposed change in Use as Landlord may reasonably request.
      Landlord shall have the right to approve such proposed change in Use,
      which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord's consent to
      any change in Use shall not be construed as a consent to any subsequent
      change in Use.

      9.2.  Observance of Law. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises or
permit anything to be done in or about the Premises in violation of any
declarations, covenant, condition or restriction, or law, statute, ordinance or

law or of the Certificate of Occupancy. Tenant shall promptly comply, at its
sole cost and expense, with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental
rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be

occupation. Further, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, bring the

engineer. The cost of any such determination made by Landlord's structural
engineer in connection with Tenant's occupancy shall be paid by Tenant upon
Landlord's demand. Tenant shall not install business machines or mechanical

dispose, or permit on the Premises, Building or Project any toxic or hazardous
gaseous, liquid, or solid material or waste, or any other hazardous material
defined or listed in any applicable federal, state or local law, rule,
regulation or ordinance. If Landlord grants its consent, Tenant shall comply
with all applicable laws with respect to such hazardous material, including all
laws affecting the use, storage and disposal thereof. If the presence of any
hazardous material brought to the Premises, Building or Project by Tenant or
Tenant's employees, agent or contractors results in contamination, Tenant shall
promptly take all actions necessary, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to
remediate the contamination and restore the Premises, Building or Project to the
condition that existed before introduction of such hazardous material. Landlord

the Premises. Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's approval of the proposed
remedial action and shall keep Landlord informed during the process of
remediation.

Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any claims,
liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by Landlord arising from
such bringing, allowing, using, permitting, generating, creating, emitting, or
disposing of toxic or hazardous material whether or not consent to same has been
granted by Landlord. Tenant's duty to defend, hold-harmless and indemnify
Landlord hereunder shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
The consent requirement contained herein shall not apply to ordinary office
products that may contain de minimis quantities of hazardous material; however,
Tenant's indemnification obligations are not diminished with respect to the
presence of such products. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has an affirmative
duty to immediately notify Landlord of any release or suspected release of
hazardous material in the Premises or on or about the Project.

Medical waste and any other waste, the removal of which is regulated, shall be
contracted for and disposed of by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, in accordance
with all applicable laws and regulations. No material shall be placed in Project

and disposing of trash and garbage in the State without being in violation of
any law or ordinance.

If permitted by law, Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord's reasonable
discretion, at any time and from time to time during the Term, to contract for
the provision of electricity (or any other utility) with, and to switch from,
any company providing such utility. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and any
such utility provider at all times, and, as reasonably necessary, Tenant shall
allow such parties access to the electric (or other utility) lines, feeders,
risers, wiring and other machinery located within the Premises.

Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damages directly
or indirectly resulting from, nor shall Rent be abated by reason of (a) the
installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the
furnishing of any of the foregoing services, or (b) failure to furnish or delay
in furnishing any such services where such failure or delay is caused by
accident or any condition or event beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or
by the making of necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises, Building or
Project, or (c) any change, failure, interruption, disruption or defect in the
quantity or character of the electricity (or other utility) supplied to the
Premises or Project, or (d) the limitation, curtailment or rationing of, or
restrictions on, use of water, electricity, gas or any other form of energy

more electricity than is usually furnished or supplied for the use of desk top
office equipment and photocopy equipment ordinarily in use in premises
designated as general office space, as determined by Landlord. Tenant shall not
connect any apparatus to electric current except through existing electrical
outlets in the Premises.

Tenant shall not consume electric current in excess of that usually furnished or
supplied for the use of premises as office space (as determined by Landlord),
without first procuring the written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may
refuse. In the event of consent, electrical current shall be separately metered
in Tenant's name and paid for by Tenant. The cost of any such meter and its
installation, maintenance and repair shall be paid by Tenant.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Tenant is granted
the right to purchase electricity from a provider other than the company or
companies used by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
Landlord from and against all losses, claims, demands, expenses and judgments
caused by, or directly or indirectly arising from, the acts or omissions of

provide sufficient power to the Premises, as well as damages resulting from the
improper or faulty installation or construction of facilities or equipment in or
on the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's electricity provider.

Nothing contained in this Section shall restrict Landlord's right to require at
any time separate metering of utilities furnished to the Premises. If the
separate metering of utilities furnished to the Premises is due to Tenant's
excessive use of electric current, then the cost of any such meter and its
installation, maintenance and repair shall be paid by Tenant. If Landlord
requires separate metering for reasons other than Tenant's excessive consumption
of electric current, then the cost of any such meter and its installation,
maintenance and repair shall be paid by Landlord. In either event, accounts for
all such separately metered utilities shall be in Tenant's name and paid for by
Tenant.

If Tenant uses heat generating machines or equipment in the Premises that

Landlord agrees that any such required increases in coverage limits shall not
occur more frequently than once every three (3) years.

      15.6. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive all
rights of recovery against the other and against the officers, employees, agents
and representatives, contractors and invitees of the other, on account of loss
by or damage to the waiving party or its property or the property of others
under its control, to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against
under any insurance policy which may have been in force at the time of such loss
or damage.

      15.7. Landlord's Right to Obtain Insurance for Tenant. If Tenant fails to
obtain the insurance coverage or fails to provide certificates and endorsements
as required by this Lease, such failure shall be a material default hereunder
with not more than a ten (10) day cure period.

16.   DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

      16.1. Damage. If, during the Term of this Lease, the Premises or the
portion of the Building necessary for Tenant's occupancy is damaged by fire or
other casualty covered by fire and extended coverage insurance carried by
Landlord, Landlord shall promptly repair the damage provided (a) such repairs
can, in Landlord's opinion, be completed, under applicable laws and regulations,
within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such construction
is issued by the governing authority, (b) insurance proceeds are available to
pay eighty percent (80%) or more of the cost of restoration, and (c) Tenant
performs its obligations pursuant to Section 16.4. hereof. In such event, this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that if such damage is not
the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents or
employees, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent to the
extent Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired, commencing with the date of
damage and continuing until completion of the repairs required of Landlord under
Section 16.4. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents
or employees and loss of rental income insurance is denied as a result, there
shall be no abatement of Rent.

      Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, in the
event of partial or total damage or destruction of the Premises during the last
twelve (12) months of the Term, either party shall have the option to terminate
this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior Notice to the other party provided such
Notice is served within thirty (30) days after the damage or destruction. For
purposes of this Section 16.1., "partial damage or destruction" shall mean the
damage or destruction of at least thirty-three and one-third percent (33 and
1/3%) of the Premises, as determined by Landlord in Landlord's reasonable
discretion.

      16.2. Repair of Premises in Excess of One Hundred Eighty Days. If in
Landlord's opinion, such repairs to the Premises or portion of the Building
necessary for Tenant's occupancy cannot be completed under applicable laws and
regulations within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such
construction is issued by the governing authority, Landlord may elect, upon
Notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or
other casualty, to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect, but Rent shall be partially abated as provided in this
Section 1. If Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date of such fire or other casualty.

      16.3. Repair Outside Premises. If any other portion of the Building or
Project is totally destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord's opinion
repair thereof cannot be completed under applicable laws and regulations within
one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such construction is
issued by the governing authority, Landlord may elect upon Notice to Tenant
given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, to
repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, but Rent shall be partially abated as provided in this Section 16. If
Landlord does not elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of
the date of such fire or other casualty.

      16.4. Tenant Repair. If the Premises are to be repaired under this Section
16., Landlord shall repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building and
Building Standard Tenant Improvements, if any. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform
work other than Landlord's Work performed previously pursuant to Section 12.1.
hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair,
restoration and replacement of any other Leasehold Improvements and Tenant's
Property (as well as reconstructing and reconnecting Tenant's internal
telecommunications wiring and related equipment). Landlord shall not be liable
for any loss of business, inconvenience or annoyance arising from any repair or
restoration of any portion of the Premises, Building or Project as a result of
any damage from fire or other casualty.

      16.5. Election Not to Perform Landlord's Work. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall provide Notice to Tenant of its
intent to repair or replace the Premises (if Landlord elects to perform such
work), and, within ten (10) days of its receipt of such Notice, Tenant shall
provide Notice to Landlord of its intent to reoccupy the Premises. Should Tenant
fail to provide such Notice to Landlord, then such failure shall be deemed an
election by Tenant not to re-occupy the Premises and Landlord may elect not to
perform the repair or replacement of the Premises. Such election shall not
result in

                                    Page 12            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
a termination of this Lease and all obligations of Tenant hereunder shall remain
in full force and effect, including the obligation to pay Rent.

      16.6. Express Agreement. This Lease shall be considered an express
agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Premises,
Building or Project by fire or other casualty, and any present or future law
which purports to govern the rights of Landlord and Tenant in such circumstances
in the absence of an express agreement shall have no application.

17.   EMINENT DOMAIN.

      17.1. Whole Taking. If the whole of the Building or Premises is lawfully
taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public
purpose, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking, and Rent
shall be prorated to such date.

      17.2. Partial Taking. If less than the whole of the Building or Premises
is so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, provided that (a)
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by Notice to Landlord given
within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking if twenty percent (20%) or
more of the Premises is taken and the remaining area of the Premises is not
reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue operation of its business, and (b)
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by Notice to Tenant given
within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking. If either Landlord or
Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall terminate on the
thirtieth (30th) calendar day after either such Notice. Rent shall be prorated
to the date of termination. If this Lease continues in force upon such partial
taking, Base Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be equitably adjusted.

      17.3. Proceeds. In the event of any taking, partial or whole, all of the
proceeds of any award, judgment or settlement payable by the condemning
authority shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns
to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any award, judgment or
settlement from the condemning authority; however, Tenant shall have the right,
to the extent that Landlord's award is not reduced or prejudiced, to claim from
the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) such compensation as may be
recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation expenses and damage to
Tenant's Property and damage to Leasehold Improvements installed at the sole
expense of Tenant.

      17.4. Landlord's Restoration. In the event of a partial taking of the
Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord shall
restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to its
condition prior to the condemnation or taking; provided however, Landlord shall
not be obligated to perform work other than Landlord's Work performed previously
pursuant to Section 12.1. hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost
and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of Tenant's Property and
any other Leasehold Improvements.

18.   ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

No assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises shall
be permitted, except as provided in this Section 18.

      18.1. No Assignment or Subletting. Tenant shall not, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, assign or hypothecate this Lease or any interest
herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the
Premises or any part thereof by any party other than Tenant. Any of the
foregoing acts without such consent shall be voidable and shall, at the option
of Landlord, constitute a default hereunder. This Lease shall not, nor shall any
interest of Tenant herein, be assignable by operation of law without the prior
written consent of Landlord.

            18.1.1. For purposes of this Section 18., the following shall be
      deemed an assignment:

                  18.1.1.1. If Tenant is a partnership, any withdrawal or
            substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of
            law, and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of
            any partner(s) owning twenty-five (25%) or more (cumulatively) of
            any interest in the capital or profits of the partnership, or the
            dissolution of the partnership;

                  18.1.1.2. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
            consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, any sale or
            transfer (or cumulative sales or transfers) of the capital stock of
            Tenant in excess of twenty-five percent (25%), or any sale (or
            cumulative sales) or transfer of fifty-one (51%) or more of the
            value of the assets of Tenant provided, however, the foregoing shall
            not apply to corporations the capital stock of which is publicly
            traded.

      18.2. Landlord's Consent. If, at any time or from time to time during the
Term hereof, Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of
the Premises, and if Tenant is not then in default under the terms of the Lease,
Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written request for approval setting forth the
terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease, the identity of the
proposed assignee or subtenant, and a copy of the proposed form of assignment or
sublease. Tenant's request for consent shall be submitted to Landlord at least
thirty (30) days prior to the intended date of such transfer. Tenant shall
promptly supply Landlord with such information concerning the business
background and financial condition of such proposed assignee or subtenant as
Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have

                                    Page 13            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
the right to approve such proposed assignee or subtenant, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld. In no event however, shall Landlord be required to
consent to any assignment or sublease (a) to an existing tenant in the Project
or (b) that may violate any restrictions contained in any mortgage, lease or
agreement affecting the Project. Landlord's consent to any assignment shall not
be construed as a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, transfer of
partnership interest or stock, occupancy or use.

            18.2.1. Landlord's approval shall be conditioned, among other
      things, on Landlord's receiving adequate assurances of future performance
      under this Lease and any sublease or assignment. In determining the
      adequacy of such assurances, Landlord may base its decision on such
      factors as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to:

                  18.2.1.1. that the source of rent and other consideration due
            under this Lease, and, in the case of assignment, that the financial
            condition and operating performance and business experience of the
            proposed assignee and its guarantors, if any, shall be equal to or
            greater than the financial condition and operating performance and
            experience of Tenant and its guarantors, if any, as of the time
            Tenant became the lessee under this Lease;

                  18.2.1.2. that any assumption or assignment of this Lease will
            not result in increased cost or expense, wear and tear, greater
            traffic or demand for services and utilities provided by Landlord
            pursuant to Section 10. hereof and will not disturb or be
            detrimental to other tenants of Landlord;

                  18.2.1.3. whether the proposed assignee's use of the Premises
            will include the use of Hazardous Material, or will in any way
            increase any risk to Landlord relating to Hazardous Material; and

                  18.2.1.4. that assumption or assignment of such lease will not
            disrupt any tenant mix or balance in the project.

            18.2.2. The assignment or sublease shall be on the same terms and
      conditions set forth in the written request for approval given to
      Landlord, or, if different, upon terms and conditions consented to by
      Landlord;

            18.2.3. No assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or
      sublessee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof until
      an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease has been delivered
      to Landlord;

            18.2.4. No assignee or sublessee shall have a further right to
      assign or sublet except on the terms herein contained;

            18.2.5. Any sums or other economic considerations received by Tenant
      as a result of such assignment or subletting, however denominated under
      the assignment or sublease, which exceed, in the aggregate (a) the total
      sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated
      to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises
      subleased), plus (b) any real estate brokerage commissions or fees payable
      to third parties in connection with such assignment or subletting, shall
      be shared equally by Tenant and Landlord as Additional Rent under this
      Lease without effecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant
      hereunder.

If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
three (3) fully executed original documents (in the form previously approved by
Landlord) and Landlord shall attach its consent thereto. Landlord shall retain
one (1) fully executed original document. No transfer of Tenant's interest in
this Lease shall be deemed effective until the terms and conditions of this
Section 18. have been fulfilled.

      18.3. Tenant Remains Responsible. No subletting or assignment shall
release Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease or alter the primary
liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other
person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.
Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by an assignee or
subtenant of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the
terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity
of exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor. Landlord
may consent to subsequent assignments or sublets of the Lease or amendments or
modifications to the Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant,
or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto
and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

      18.4. Conversion to a Limited Liability Entity. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, if Tenant is a limited or general partnership
(or is comprised of two (2) or more persons, individually or as co-partners, or
entities), the change or conversion of Tenant to (a) a limited liability
company, (b) a limited liability partnership, or (c) any other entity which
possesses the characteristics of limited liability (any such limited liability
entity is collectively referred to herein as a "Successor Entity") shall be
prohibited unless the prior written consent of Landlord is obtained, which
consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.

                                    Page 14            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
            18.4.1. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, Landlord agrees not
      to unreasonably withhold or delay such consent provided that:

                  18.4.1.1. The Successor Entity succeeds to all or
            substantially all of Tenant's business and assets;

                  18.4.1.2. The Successor Entity shall have a tangible net worth
            (Tangible Net Worth), determined in accordance with generally
            accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, of not less
            than the greater of the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant on (a) the date
            of execution of the Lease, or (b) the day immediately preceding the
            proposed effective date of such conversion; and

                  18.4.1.3. Tenant is not in default of any of the terms,
            covenants, or conditions of this Lease on the propose effective date
            of such conversion.

      18.5. Payment of Fees. If Tenant assigns the Lease or sublets the Premises
or requests the consent of Landlord to any assignment, subletting or conversion
to a limited liability entity, then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord,
whether or not consent is ultimately given, an administrative fee of Three
Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($300.00) plus costs and other reasonable expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with each such act or request.

19.   DEFAULT.

      19.1. Tenant's Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant.

            19.1.1. If Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises.

            19.1.2. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or Additional Rent or any
      other charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease and such
      failure continues for three (3) days after receipt of Notice thereof from
      Landlord to Tenant.

            19.1.3. If Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform any other
      covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease and such failure
      continues for thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to
      Tenant, or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30)
      days, if Tenant fails to commence to cure within that thirty (30) day
      period and diligently prosecute to completion.

            19.1.4. Tenant's failure to occupy the Premises within ten (10) days
      after delivery of possession (as defined in Section 4. hereof).

            19.1.5. Tenant's failure to provide any document, instrument or
      assurance as required by Sections 12., 15., 18. and/or 35. if the failure
      continues for three (3) days after receipt of Notice from Landlord to
      Tenant.

            19.1.6. To the extent provided by law:

                  19.1.6.1. If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on
            this Lease or on substantially all of Tenant's Property; or

                  19.1.6.2. If Tenant or Tenant's Guarantor makes a general
            assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

                  19.1.6.3. If Tenant files a voluntary petition for relief or
            if a petition against Tenant in a proceeding under the federal
            bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws is filed and not withdrawn
            or dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter, or if under the
            provisions of any law providing for reorganization or winding up of
            corporations, any court of competent jurisdiction assumes
            jurisdiction, custody or control of Tenant or any substantial part
            of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control remains in
            force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period of sixty
            (60) days; or

                  19.1.6.4. If in any proceeding or action in which Tenant is a
            party, a trustee, receiver, agent or custodian is appointed to take
            charge of the Premises or Tenant's Property (or has the authority to
            do so); or

                  19.1.6.5. If Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than
            one (1) person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other
            person or entity is involved in any of the acts or events described
            in Sections 19.1.6.1. through above.

      19.2. Landlord Remedies. In the event of Tenant's default hereunder, then,
in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under any law or
at equity, Landlord shall have the right to collect interest on all past due
sums (at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by an individual), and,
at Landlord's option and without further notice or demand of any kind, to do the
following:

                                    Page 15            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
            19.2.1. Terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession of the
      Premises and reenter the Premises and take possession thereof, and Tenant
      shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease; or

            19.2.2. Continue this Lease in effect, reenter and occupy the
      Premises for the account of Tenant, and collect any unpaid Rent or other
      charges which have or thereafter become due and payable; or

            19.2.3. Reenter the Premises under the provisions of Section
      19.2.2., and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and Tenant's right
      to possession of the Premises.

If Landlord reenters the Premises under the provisions of Sections 19.2.2. or
19.2.3. above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the
obligation of Tenant to pay any Rent or other charges thereafter accruing unless
Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of Landlord's election to terminate this
Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of
a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this
Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's obligations under the
Lease. In the event of any reentry or retaking of possession by Landlord,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove all or any part
of Tenant's Property in the Premises and to place such property in storage at a
public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant. If Landlord elects to relet
the Premises for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such
reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness
other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of
any costs of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any
alterations or repairs to the Premises; fourth to the payment of Rent due and
unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied
in payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If that portion of Rent received
from the reletting which is applied against the Rent due hereunder is less than
the amount of the Rent due, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord promptly
upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, any costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting or in making alterations
and repairs to the Premises which are not covered by the rent received from the
reletting.

      19.3. Damages Recoverable. Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease
under the provisions of Section 19.2., Landlord may recover as damages from
Tenant the following:

            19.3.1. Past Rent. The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid
      Rent that had been earned at the time of termination including the value
      of any Rent that was abated during the Term of the Lease (except Rent that
      was abated as a result of damage or destruction or condemnation); plus

            19.3.2. Rent Prior to Award. The worth at the time of the award of
      the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned between
      the time of the termination and the time of the award exceeds the amount
      of unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; plus

            19.3.3. Rent After Award. The worth at the time of the award of the
      amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time
      of award exceeds the amount of the unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could be
      reasonably avoided; plus

            19.3.4. Proximately Caused Damages. Any other amount necessary to
      compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's
      failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the
      ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including,
      but not limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees),
      incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, (b)
      maintaining the Premises after Tenant's default, (c) preparing the
      Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including any repairs or
      alterations, and (d) reletting the Premises, including brokers'
      commissions.

"The worth at the time of the award" as used in Sections 19.3.1. and 19.3.2.
above, is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by
law to be charged by an individual. "The worth at the time of the award" as used
in Section 19.3.3. above, is to be computed by discounting the amount at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the Premises at
the time of the award plus one percent (1%).

      19.4. Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If Tenant defaults in the
performance of any of its obligations under this Lease and Tenant has not timely
cured the default after Notice, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to),
without waiving such default, perform the same for the account and at the
expense of Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord all costs of such performance
immediately upon written demand therefor, and if paid at a later date these
costs shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by
an individual.

      19.5. Landlord's Default. If Landlord fails to perform any covenant,
condition or agreement contained in this Lease within thirty (30) days after
receipt of Notice from Tenant specifying such default, or, if such default
cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days if Landlord fails to commence
to cure within that thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute to
completion, then Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any damages sustained by
Tenant as a result of Landlord's breach; provided, however, it is expressly
understood and agreed that if Tenant obtains a money judgment against Landlord
resulting from any default or other claim arising under this Lease, that
judgment shall be satisfied only out of the rents, issues, profits, and

                                    Page 16            L __________ T __________

other income actually received on account of Landlord's right, title and
interest in the Premises, Building or Project, and no other real, personal or
mixed property of Landlord (or of any of the partners which comprise Landlord,
if any), wherever situated, shall be subject to levy to satisfy such judgment.

      19.6. Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to send by certified or
registered mail to any first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of
Landlord whose address has been furnished to Tenant, a copy of any notice of
default served by Tenant on Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default
within the time provided for in this Lease, then such mortgagee or beneficiary
shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary
under the circumstances.

      19.7. Tenant's Right to Cure Landlord's Default. If, after Notice to
Landlord of default, Landlord (or any first mortgagee or first deed of trust
beneficiary of Landlord) fails to cure the default as provided herein, then
Tenant shall have the right to cure that default at Landlord's expense. Tenant
shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold, reduce or
offset any amount against any payments of Rent or any other charges due and
payable under this Lease except as otherwise specifically provided herein. This
is a commercial and not a residential lease and therefore Tenant expressly
waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would
otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense or to
terminate this Lease because of Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good
order, condition and repair.

20.   WAIVER.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any
default by Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver
of such default. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall
not constitute a waiver of any other default: it shall constitute only a waiver
of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved (excluding the
collection of a late charge or interest).

No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of
keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the
Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written
acknowledgement from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the
surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of this Lease.

Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary
Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.

Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not be a
waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this
Lease.

21.   SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.

This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying
leases (including renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and
replacements thereof) which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting the
Building or the land upon which the Building is situated, or both, and to the
lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever
(including renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements
thereof) now or hereafter placed on or against the Building or on or against
Landlord's interest or estate therein, or on or against any ground or underlying
lease, without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further
instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination.
Nevertheless, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand,
without charge therefor, such further instruments evidencing such subordination
of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases, and to the lien of any such
mortgages or deeds of trust as may be required by Landlord.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any mortgagee,
trustee or ground lessor shall elect that this Lease is senior to the lien of
its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice
thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of
trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the
date of said mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, or the date of the
recording thereof.

In the event of any foreclosure sale, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or
termination of the lease in which Landlord is lessee, Tenant shall attorn to the
purchaser, transferee or lessor as the case may be, and recognize that party as
Landlord under this Lease, provided such party acquires and accepts the Premises
subject to this lease.

22.   TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

      22.1. Landlord Request for Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days
after written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to
Landlord or Landlord's designee, in the form requested by Landlord, a written
statement certifying, among other things, (a) that this Lease is unmodified and
in full force and effect, or that it is in full force and effect as modified and
stating the modifications; (b) the amount of Base Rent and the date to which
Base Rent and Additional Rent have been paid in advance; (c) the amount of any
security deposited with Landlord; and (d) that Landlord is not in default
hereunder or, if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating the nature of any
claimed default. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by a
prospective purchaser, assignee or encumbrancer of the Premises.

                                    Page 17            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
      22.2. Failure to Execute. Tenant's failure to execute and deliver such
statement within the time required shall at Landlord's election be a default
under this Lease and shall also be conclusive upon Tenant that: (a) this Lease
is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as represented by
Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance and that
Tenant has no right of offset, counter-claim or deduction against Rent and (c)
not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance.

23.   NOTICE.

Notice shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly served or given if
personally delivered, sent by certified or registered U.S. Mail, postage prepaid
with a return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier service, fee
prepaid with a return receipt requested, as follows: (a) if to Landlord, to
Landlord's Address for Notice with a copy to the Building manager, and (b) if to
Tenant, to Tenant's Mailing Address; provided, however, Notices to Tenant shall
be deemed duly served or given if delivered or sent to Tenant at the Premises.
Landlord and Tenant may from time to time by Notice to the other designate
another place for receipt of future Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, when an applicable State statute requires service of
Notice in a particular manner, service of that Notice in accordance with those
particular requirements shall replace rather than supplement any Notice
requirement set forth in the Lease.

24.   TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST.

In the event of any sale or transfer by Landlord of the Premises, Building or
Project, and assignment of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord shall be and is
hereby entirely freed and relieved of any and all liability and obligations
contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or
omission relating to the Premises, Building, Project or Lease occurring after
the consummation of such sale or transfer, provided the purchaser shall
expressly assume all of the covenants and obligations of Landlord under this
Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to
attorn to the purchaser or assignee provided all of Landlord's obligations
hereunder are assumed by such transferee. If any security deposit or prepaid
Rent has been paid by Tenant, Landlord shall transfer the security deposit or
prepaid Rent to Landlord's successor and upon such transfer, Landlord shall be
relieved of any and all further liability with respect thereto.

25.   SURRENDER OF PREMISES.

      25.1. Clean and Same Condition. Upon the Expiration Date or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises to
Landlord clean and in the same condition as when received, except for (a)
reasonable wear and tear, (b) loss by fire or other casualty, and (c) loss by
condemnation. Tenant shall remove Tenant's Property no later than the Expiration
Date. If Tenant is required by Landlord to remove any additions, alterations, or
improvements under Section 12.3., Tenant shall complete such removal no later
than the Expiration Date. Any damage to the Premises, including any structural
damage, resulting from removal of any addition, alteration, or improvement made
pursuant to Section 12.3. and/or from Tenant's use or from the removal of
Tenant's Property pursuant to Section 13.2. shall be repaired (in accordance
with Landlord's reasonable direction) no later than the Expiration Date by
Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense. On the Expiration Date, Tenant shall
surrender all keys to the Premises.

      25.2. Failure to Deliver Possession. If Tenants fails to vacate and
deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord on the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease as required by Section 12.3., Tenant shall indemnify,
defend and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, liabilities and damages
resulting from Tenant's failure to vacate and deliver possession of the
Premises, including, without limitation, claims made by a succeeding tenant
resulting from Tenant's failure to vacate and deliver possession of the Premises
and rental loss which Landlord suffers.

      25.3. Property Abandoned. If Tenant abandons or surrenders the Premises,
or is dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any of Tenant's Property left
on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, and, at Landlord's option,
title shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale. If Landlord
elects to remove all or any part of such Tenant's Property, the cost of removal,
including repairing any damage to the Premises or Building caused by such
removal, shall be paid by Tenant.

26.   HOLDING OVER.

Tenant shall not occupy the Premises after the Expiration Date without
Landlord's consent. If after expiration of the Term, Tenant remains in
possession of the Premises with Landlord's permission (express or implied),
Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month only upon all the provisions of
this Lease (except as to the term and Base Rent). Monthly Installments of Base
Rent payable by Tenant during this period shall be increased to the greater of
one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the fair market rental value of the Premises
(as reasonably determined by Landlord) or two hundred percent (200%) of the
Monthly Installments of Base Rent payable by Tenant in the final month of the
Term. The tenancy may be terminated by either party, effective on the last day
of a month, by delivering a Notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days
prior thereto. Nothing contained in this Section 26. shall be construed to limit
or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies available to Landlord
pursuant to this Lease or at law.

27.   RULES AND REGULATIONS.

                                    Page 18            L __________ T __________

Tenant agrees to comply with (and cause its agents, contractors, employees and
invitees to comply with) the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit

any such entry.

without being liable to Tenant by reason of such removal, and to charge the cost
of removal to Tenant as Additional Rent hereunder, payable within ten (10) days
of written demand by Landlord.

30.   RELOCATION OF PREMISES.

Landlord shall have the right to relocate the Premises to another part of the
Building at any time after the execution and delivery of the Lease upon at least
thirty (30) days prior Notice to Tenant. The new premises shall be similar in
size to the Premises described in this Lease and shall be leased to Tenant on
the same terms and conditions as provided in the Lease, except that if the new
premises contains more or less square footage, then there shall be a
proportionate adjustment in Rent. Landlord shall pay reasonable expenses
incurred moving Tenant's Property to the new premises. Upon completion of such
relocation, the new premises shall be the Premises for all purposes under the
Lease and the parties shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease
setting forth the relocation of the Premises and the reduction of Base Rent, if
any.

31.   GOVERNMENT ENERGY OR UTILITY CONTROLS.

In the event of imposition of federal, state or local government controls,
rules, regulations, or restrictions on the use or consumption of energy or other
utilities (including telecommunications) during the Term, both Landlord and
Tenant shall be bound thereby. In the event of a difference in interpretation by
Landlord and Tenant of any such controls, the interpretation of Landlord shall
prevail and Landlord shall have the right to enforce compliance therewith,
including the right of entry into the Premises to effect compliance.

32.   FORCE MAJEURE.

                                    Page 19            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
Any prevention, delay or stoppage of work to be performed by Landlord or Tenant
which is due to strikes, labor disputes, inability to obtain labor, materials,
equipment or reasonable substitutes therefor, acts of God, governmental
restrictions or regulations or controls, judicial orders, enemy or hostile
government actions, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes
beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform hereunder, shall
excuse performance of the work by that party for a period equal to the duration
of that prevention, delay or stoppage. Nothing in this Section 32. shall excuse
or delay Tenant's obligation to pay Rent or other charges under this Lease.

33.   BROKERAGE FEES.

Tenant warrants and represents that it has not dealt with any real estate broker
or agent in connection with this Lease or its negotiation except the Listing and
Leasing Agent(s) set forth in Section 2.8. of this Lease. Tenant shall

34.   QUIET ENJOYMENT.

Tenant, upon payment of Rent and performance of all of its obligations under
this Lease, shall peaceably, quietly and exclusively enjoy possession of the

35.   TELECOMMUNICATIONS.

      35.1. Telecommunications Companies. Tenant and Tenant's telecommunications
companies, including but not limited to local exchange telecommunications
companies and alternative access vendor services companies ("Telecommunications
Companies"), shall have no right of access to and within the lands or Buildings
comprising the Project for the installation and operation of telecommunications
lines and systems including but not limited to voice, video, data, and any other
telecommunications services provided over wire, fiber optic, microwave, wireless
and any other transmission systems, for part or all of Tenant's
telecommunications within the Building and from the Building to any other
location (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Telecommunications Lines"),
without Landlord's prior written consent, which Landlord may withhold in its
sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may perform
any installation, repair and maintenance to its Telecommunications Lines without
Landlord's consent where the equipment being installed, repaired or maintained
is not located in an area in which the Telecommunications Lines or any part
thereof of any other tenant or of Landlord are located.

      35.2. Tenant's Obligations. If at any time, Tenant's Telecommunications
Companies or appropriate governmental authorities relocate the point of
demarcation from the location of Tenant's telecommunications equipment in
Tenant's telephone equipment room or other location, to some other point, or in
any other manner transfer any obligations or liabilities for telecommunications
to Landlord or Tenant, whether by operation of law or otherwise, upon Landlord's
election, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole expense and cost: (1) within thirty
(30) days after notice is first given to Tenant of Landlord's election, cause to
be completed by an appropriate telecommunications engineering entity approved in
advance in writing by Landlord, all details of the Telecommunications Lines
serving Tenant in the Building which details shall include all appropriate
plans, schematics, and specifications; and (2) if Landlord so elects,
immediately undertake the operation, repair and maintenance of the
Telecommunications Lines serving Tenant in the Building; and (3) upon the
termination of the Lease for any reason, or upon expiration of the Lease,
immediately effect the complete removal of all or any portion or portions of the
Telecommunications Lines serving Tenant in the Building and repair any damage
caused thereby (to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction).

      Prior to the commencement of any alterations, additions, or modifications
to the Telecommunications Lines serving Tenant in the Building, except for minor
changes, Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's prior written consent by written
request accompanied by detailed plans, schematics, and specifications showing
all alterations, additions and modifications to be performed, with the time
schedule for completion of the work, and the identity of the entity that will
perform the work, for which, except as otherwise provided in Section 35.3.
below, Landlord may withhold consent in its sole and absolute discretion.

      35.3. Landlord's Consent. Without in any way limiting Landlord's right to
withhold its consent to a proposed request for access, or for alterations,
additions or modifications of the Telecommunications Lines serving Tenant in the
Building, Landlord shall consider the following factors in making its
determination:

            35.3.1. If the proposed actions of Tenant and its Telecommunications
      Companies will impose new obligations on Landlord, or expose Landlord to
      liability of any nature or description, or increase Landlord's insurance
      costs for the Building, or create liabilities for which Landlord is unable
      to obtain insurance protection, or imperil Landlord's insurance coverage;

            35.3.2. If Tenant's Telecommunications Companies are unwilling to
      pay reasonable monetary compensation for the use and occupation of the
      Building for the Telecommunications Lines;

                                    Page 20            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
            35.3.3. If Tenant and its Telecommunications Companies would cause
      any work to be performed that would adversely affect the land and Building
      or any space in the Building in any manner;

            35.3.4. If Tenant encumbers or mortgages its interest in any
      telecommunications wiring or cabling; or

            35.3.5. If Tenant is in default under this Lease.

      35.4. Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Landlord and its employees, agents, officers and directors from and against any
claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or
expenses of any kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise,
arising out of or in any way related to the acts and omissions of Tenant,
Tenant's officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors,
subtenants and invitees with respect to (1) any Telecommunications Lines serving
Tenant in the Building which are on, from, or affecting the Project and
Building; (2) any bodily injury (including wrongful death) or property damage
(real or personal) arising out of or related to any Telecommunications Lines
serving Tenant in the Building which are on, from, or affecting the Building;
(3) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or governmental order
relating to such Telecommunications Lines; (4) any violations of laws, orders,
regulations, requirements, or demands of governmental authorities, or any
reasonable policies or requirements of Landlord, which are based upon or in any
way related to such Telecommunications Lines, including, without limitation,
attorney and consultant fees, court costs and litigation expenses. This
indemnification and hold harmless agreement will survive this Lease. Under no
circumstances shall Landlord be required to maintain, repair or replace any
Building systems or any portions thereof, when such maintenance, repair or
replacement is caused in whole or in part by the failure of any such system or
any portions thereof, and/or the requirements of any governmental authorities.
Under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for interruption in
telecommunications services to Tenant or any other entity affected, for
electrical spikes or surges, or for any other cause whatsoever, whether by Act
of God or otherwise, even if the same is caused by the ordinary negligence of
Landlord, Landlord's contractors, subcontractors, or agents or other tenants,
subtenants, or their contractors, subcontractors, or agents.

      35.5. Landlord's Operation of Building Telecommunications Lines and
Systems. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the point
of demarcation is relocated, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
undertake the operation, repair and maintenance of telecommunications lines and
systems in the Building. If Landlord so elects, Landlord shall give Notice of
its intent to do so, and Landlord shall, based on Landlord's sole business
discretion, make such lines and systems available to tenants of the Building
(including Tenant) in the manner it deems most prudent. Landlord may include in
Operating Expenses all or a portion of the expenses related to the operation,
repair and maintenance of the telecommunications lines and systems.

36.   MISCELLANEOUS.

      36.1. Accord and Satisfaction; Allocation of Payments. No payment by
Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent provided for in
this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due Rent,
nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any
check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may
accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover
the balance of the Rent or pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease.
In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall have the absolute right in its
sole discretion to apply any payment received from Tenant to any account or
other payment of Tenant then not current and due or delinquent.

      36.2. Addenda. If any provision contained in an addendum to this Lease is
inconsistent with any other provision herein, the provision contained in the
addendum shall control, unless otherwise provided in the addendum.

      36.3. Attorneys' Fees. If any action or proceeding is brought by either
party against the other pertaining to or arising out of this Lease, the finally
prevailing party (i.e., the party that recovers the greater relief as a result
of the action or proceeding) shall be entitled to recover all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred on account of such
action or proceeding.

      36.4. Captions and Section Numbers. The captions appearing in the body of
this Lease have been inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference only
and in no way define, limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of this Lease. All
references to Section numbers refer to Sections in this Lease.

      36.5. Changes Requested by Lender. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall
unreasonably withhold its consent to changes or amendments to this Lease
requested by the lender on Landlord's interest, so long as such changes do not
alter the basic business terms of this Lease or otherwise materially diminish
any rights or materially increase any obligations of the party from whom consent
to such change or amendment is requested.

      36.6. Choice of Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the Laws of the State.

      36.7. Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary, Tenant shall have no claim, and hereby waives the right to any claim
against Landlord for money damages, by reason of

                                    Page 21            L __________ T __________
<PAGE>
any refusal, withholding or delaying by Landlord of any consent, approval or
statement of satisfaction, and, in such event, Tenant's only remedies therefor
shall be an action for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment
to enforce any right to such consent, approval or statement of satisfaction.

      36.8. Authority. If Tenant is not an individual signing on his or her own
behalf, then each individual signing this Lease on behalf of the business entity
that constitutes Tenant represents and warrants that the individual is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of the business entity,
and that this Lease is binding on Tenant in accordance with its terms. Tenant
shall, at Landlord's request, deliver a certified copy of a resolution of its
board of directors, if Tenant is a corporation, or other memorandum of
resolution if Tenant is a limited partnership, general partnership or limited
liability entity, authorizing such execution.

      36.9. Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive
their respective rights to a trial by jury of any claim, action, proceeding or
counterclaim by either party against the other on any matters arising out of or
in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant,
and/or Tenant's Use or occupancy of the Premises, Building or Project (including
any claim of injury or damage or the enforcement of any remedy under any current
or future laws, statutes, regulations, codes or ordinances).

      36.10. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts,
all of which shall constitute one and the same Lease.

      36.11. Execution of Lease; No Option. The submission of this Lease to
Tenant shall be for examination purposes only and does not and shall not
constitute a reservation of or option for Tenant to Lease, or otherwise create
any interest of Tenant in the Premises or any other premises within the Building
or Project. Execution of this Lease by Tenant and its return to Landlord shall
not be binding on Landlord, notwithstanding any time interval, until Landlord
has in fact signed and delivered this Lease to Tenant.

      36.12. Furnishing of Financial Statements; Tenant's Representations. In
order to induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant agrees that it shall
promptly furnish Landlord, from time to time, upon Landlord's written request,
financial statements reflecting Tenant's current financial condition. Tenant
represents and warrants that all financial statements, records and information
furnished by Tenant to Landlord in connection with this Lease are true, correct
and complete in all respects.

      36.13. Further Assurances. The parties agree to promptly sign all
documents reasonably requested to give effect to the provisions of this Lease.

      36.14. Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease and the schedules and
addenda attached, if any, form a part of this Lease together with the rules and
regulations set forth on Exhibit "E" attached hereto, and set forth all the
covenants, promises, assurances, agreements, representations, conditions,
warranties, statements, and understandings (Representations) between Landlord
and Tenant concerning the Premises and the Building and Project, and there are
no Representations, either oral or written, between them other than those in
this Lease.

This Lease supersedes and revokes all previous negotiations, arrangements,
letters of intent, offers to lease, lease proposals, brochures, representations,
and information conveyed, whether oral or in writing, between the parties hereto
or their respective representatives or any other person purporting to represent
Landlord or Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter
into this Lease by any Representations not set forth in this Lease, and that it
has not relied on any such Representations. Tenant further acknowledges that no
such Representations shall be used in the interpretation or construction of this
Lease, and that Landlord shall have no liability for any consequences arising as
a result of any such Representations.

Except as otherwise provided herein, no subsequent alteration, amendment,
change, or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant
unless it is in writing and signed by each party.

      36.15. Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease without the prior
written consent of Landlord. Tenant, upon the request of Landlord, shall execute
and acknowledge a short form memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.

      36.16. Severability. A final determination by a court of competent
jurisdiction that any provision of this Lease is invalid shall not affect the
validity of any other provision, and any provision so determined to be invalid
shall, to the extent possible, be construed to accomplish its intended effect.

      36.17. Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall apply to and bind the
heirs, personal representatives, and successors and assigns of the parties.

      36.18. Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease.
