or in such other manner-- Landlord may notify Tenant:

            (1) Base Rent, in monthly installments in advance on or before the
      first day of each month of the Term in the amount set forth on the
      Schedule.

            (2) Operating Cost Share Rent in an amount equal to the Tenant's
      Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs for the applicable fiscal year
      of the Lease, paid monthly in advance in an estimated amount. Definitions
      of Operating Costs and Tenant's Proportionate Share, and the method for
      billing and payment of Operating Cost Share Rent are set forth in Sections
      2B, 2C and 2D.

            (3) Additional Rent in the amount of all costs, expenses,
      liabilities, and amounts which Tenant is required to pay under this Lease,
      excluding Base Rent and Operating Cost Share Rent, but including any
      interest for late payment of any item of Rent.

            (4) Rent as used in this Lease means Base Rent, Operating Cost Share
      Rent, Additional Rent, and those amounts which may be due as per section
      2.A.5 below. Tenant's agreement to pay Rent is an independent covenant,
      with no right of setoff, deduction or counterclaim of any kind, except as
      otherwise provided in the Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
      determine Tenant's liability for Rent, within one hundred twenty (120)
      days after the end of the calendar year from the termination of this
      Lease. Landlord shall notify Tenant within such one hundred twenty (120)
      days of any matters which Landlord has not been able so resolve despite
      its reasonable efforts, and all other matters shall be deemed final.

            (5) Tenant shall pay in addition to rent, all sales, use and
      occupancy taxes levied by the State of Florida, or any other governmental
      jurisdiction having authority for the privilege of leasing or occupying
      the premises.

      B. Payment of Operating Cost Share Rent.

            (1) Payment of Estimated Operating Cost Share Rent. Landlord shall
      estimate the Operating Costs of the Project by April 1 of each fiscal
      year, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. In the event such
      estimate cannot be made by April 1 Landlord shall notify Tenant. Landlord
      may revise these estimates whenever it obtains more accurate information,
      on the final real estate tax assessment or tax rate for the Project.

            Within ten (10) days after receiving the original or revised
      estimate from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of
      Tenant's Proportionate Share of this estimate, multiplied by the number of
      months that have elapsed in the applicable fiscal year to the date of such
      payment including the current month, minus payments previously made by
      Tenant for the months elapsed. On the first day of each month thereafter,
      Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Proportionate
      Share of this estimate, until a new estimate becomes applicable.

            (2) Correction of Operating Cost Share Rent. Landlord shall use best
      efforts to deliver to Tenant a report for the previous fiscal year (the
      "Operating Cost Report") by April 1 of each year, setting forth (a) the
      actual Operating Costs incurred, (1) the amount of Operating Cost Share
      Rent due from Tenant, and (c) the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent paid
      by Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after such receipt, Tenant shall pay to
      Landlord the amount due minus the amount paid. If the amount paid exceeds
      the amount due, Landlord shall apply the excess to Tenant's payments of
      Operating Cost Share Rent next coming due.

      C. Definitions.

            (1) Included Operating Costs. "Operating Costs" means any expenses,
      costs and disbursements of any kind including Taxes, paid or incurred by
      Landlord in connection with the management, maintenance, operation,
      insurance, repair and other related activities in connection with any part
      of the Project and of the personal property, fixtures, machinery,
      equipment, systems and apparatus used in connection therewith, including
      the cost of providing those services required to be furnished by Landlord
      under this Lease. Operating Costs shall also include the costs of any
      capital improvements, which given all other things being equal are
      intended to reduce Operating Costs and those made to keep the Project in
      compliance with governmental requirements applicable from time to time
      (collectively, "Included Capital items"); provided, that the costs of any
      Included Capital Item shall be amortized by Landlord over the estimated
      useful life of such item in accordance with GAAP and such amortized costs
      are only included in Operating Costs for that portion of the useful life
      of the Included Capital Item which falls within the Term.

            If the Project is not fully occupied during any portion of any
      fiscal year, Landlord may adjust (an "Equitable Adjustment") Operating
      Costs to equal what would have been incurred by Landlord had the Project
      been fully occupied. This Equitable Adjustment shall apply only to
      Operating Costs which are variable and therefore increase as occupancy of
      the Project increases. Landlord may incorporate the Equitable Adjustment
      in its estimates of Operating Costs.

            If Landlord does not furnish any particular service whose cost would
      have constituted an Operating Cost to a tenant other than Tenant who has
      undertaken to perform such service itself, Operating Costs shall be
      increased by the amount which Landlord would have incurred if it had
      furnished the service to such tenant.

      (2)   Excluded Operating Costs. Operating Costs shall not include:

      (a)   costs of alterations of tenant premises;

      (b)   costs of capital improvements other than Included Capital Items;

                                       3
<PAGE>

      (c)   interest and principal payments on mortgages or any other debt
            costs, or rental payments on any ground lease of the Project;

      (d)   real estate brokers' leasing commissions;

      (e)   legal fees, space planner fees, administrative expenses and
            advertising expenses incurred with regard to leasing the Building or
            portions thereof;

      (f)   any cost or expenditure for which Landlord is reimbursed, by
            insurance proceeds or otherwise, except by Operating Cost Share
            Rent;

      (g)   the cost of any service furnished to any office tenant of the
            Project which Landlord does not make available to Tenant;

      (h)   depreciation (except on any Included Capital Items);

      (i)   franchise or income taxes imposed upon Landlord, except to the
            extent imposed in lieu of all or any part of taxes;

      (j)   costs of correcting defects in construction of the Building (as
            opposed to the cost of normal repair, maintenance and replacement
            expected with the construction materials and equipment installed in
            the Building in light of their specifications);

      (k)   legal and auditing fees which are for the benefit of Landlord such
            as collecting delinquent rents, preparing tax returns and other
            financial statements, and audits other than those incurred in
            connection with the preparation of reports required pursuant to
            Section 2B above;

      (l)   the wages of any employee for services not related directly to the
            management, maintenance, operation and repair of the Building;

      (m)   fines, penalties and interest; and

      (n)   see number 1 of Rider to Lease.

      (3) Taxes. "Taxes" means any and all taxes, assessments and charges of any
kind, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, levied against the Project,
which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay in connection with the
ownership, leasing, renting, management, use, occupancy, control or operation of
the Project or of the personal property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems
and apparatus used in connection therewith. Taxes shall include real estate
taxes, personal property taxes, sewer rents, water rents, special or general
assessments, transit taxes, ad valorem taxes, and any tax levied on the rents
hereunder or the interest of Landlord under this Lease (the "Rent Tax"). Taxes
shall also include all fees and other costs and expenses paid by Landlord in
reviewing any tax and in seeking a refund or reduction of any Taxes, whether or
not the Landlord is ultimately successful.

      For any year, the amount to be included in Taxes (a) from taxes or
assessments payable in installments, shall be the amount of the installments
(with any interest) due and payable during such year, and (b) from all other
Taxes, shall at Landlord's election be the amount accrued, assessed, or
otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due and payable in such year. Any
refund or other adjustment to any Taxes by the taxing authority, shall apply
during the year in which the adjustment is made.

      Taxes shall not include any net income (except Rent Tax), capital, stock,
succession, transfer, franchise, gift, corporate estate or inheritance tax,
except to the extent that such tax shall be imposed in lieu of any portion of
Taxes.

      (4) Lease Year. "Lease Year" means each consecutive twelve-month period
beginning with the Commencement Date, except that if the Commencement Date is
not the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Year shall be the
period from the Commencement Date through the final day of the twelve months
after the first day of the following month, and each subsequent Lease Year shall
be the twelve months following the prior Lease Year.

      (5) Fiscal Year. "Fiscal Year" means the calendar year, except that the
first fiscal year and the last fiscal year of the Term may be a partial calendar
year.

D. Computation of Base Rent and Rent Adjustments.

      (1) Prorations. If this Lease begins on a day other than the first day of
a month, the Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent shall be
prorated for such partial month based on the actual number of days in such
month. If this Lease begins on a day other than the first day, or ends on a day
other than the last day, of the fiscal year, Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax
Share Rent shall be prorated for the applicable fiscal year.

      (2) Default Interest. Any sum due from Tenant to Landlord not paid when
due shall bear interest on the unpaid portion of such sum from the date due
until paid at a rate of prime plus three percent (3%).

      (3) Rent Adjustments. The square footage of the Premises and the Building
set forth in the Schedule are conclusively deemed to be the actual square
footage thereof, without regard to any subsequent remeasurement of the Premises
or the Building. If any Operating Cost paid in one fiscal year relates to more
than one fiscal year, Landlord may proportionately allocate such Operating Cost
among the related fiscal years.

      (4) Books and Records. Landlord shall maintain books and records
reflecting the Operating Costs in accordance with sound accounting and
management practices. Tenant and its agents shall have the right to inspect
Landlord's records at Landlord's office upon at least seventy-two (72) hours'
prior notice during normal business hours during the ninety (90) days following
the respective delivery of the Operating Cost Report or the Tax Report. The
results of any such inspection shall be kept strictly confidential by Tenant and
its agents, and Tenant and its agents must agree, in their contract for such
services, to such confidentiality restrictions and shall specifically agree that
the results shall not be made available to any other tenant of the Building.
Unless Tenant sends to Landlord any written exception to either such report
within sixty (60) days after said ninety (90) day period, such report shall be
deemed final and accepted by Tenant. Tenant shall pay the amount shown on both
reports in the manner prescribed in this Lease, whether or not Tenant takes any
such written exception, without any prejudice to such exception. If Tenant makes
a timely exception, Landlord shall cause its independent certified public
accountant or shall select and cause another firm with at least five (5) years
of experience in auditing the books and records of commercial office projects to
issue a report on Tenant's exception. Each party shall pay its own costs, unless
Landlord's original determination of annual Operating Costs overstated the
amounts thereof by more than three percent (3%), then Landlord shall pay
Tenant's reasonable actual costs. Any overcharge that is determined due to
Tenant shall be refunded to Tenant with interest at a rate of prime plus one
percent (1%) from the date Landlord received payment from Tenant.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                   If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement within
      twenty-one (21) days on Operating Costs after a report is made on Tenant's
      exception, the parties shall select an arbitrator with at lease five (5)
      years of experience in commercial real estate in the county in which this
      Project is located. The fees of the arbitrator and the expenses of the
      arbitration proceeding shall be paid by the prevailing party.

            (5) Miscellaneous. So long as Tenant is in default beyond cure
      period of any obligation under this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to
      any refund of any amount from Landlord. If this Lease is terminated for
      any reason prior to the annual determination of Operating Cost Share Rent,
      either party shall pay the full amount due to the other within fifteen
      (15) days after Landlord's notice to Tenant of the amount when it is
      determined. Landlord may commingle any payments made with respect to
      Operating Cost Share Rent or Tax Share Rent, without payment of interest.

      3. PREPARATION AND CONDITION OF PREMISES; POSSESSION AND SURRENDER OF
PREMISES.

      A. Condition of Premises. Except to the extent of the Tenant Improvements
item on the Schedule, Landlord is leasing the Premises to Tenant "as is",
without any obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair or decorate any part
of the Premises. Landlord shall cause the Premises to be completed in accordance
with the Tenant Improvement Agreement attached as Appendix C.

      B. Tenant's Possession. Tenant's taking possession of any portion of the
Premises shall be conclusive evidence that such portion of the Premises was in
good order, repair and condition, except as provided in a punch list or
otherwise herein. If Landlord authorizes Tenant to take possession of any part
of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date for purposes of doing business,
all terms of this Lease shall apply to such pre-Term possession, including Base
Rent at the rate set forth for the First Lease Year in the Schedule prorated for
any partial month.

      C. Maintenance. Throughout the Term, Tenant shall maintain the Premises in
their condition as of the Completion Date, loss or damage caused by the
elements, ordinary wear, and fire and other casualty excepted, and at the
termination of this Lease, or Tenant's right to possession, Tenant shall return
the Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition. To the extent Tenant fails to
perform either obligation, Landlord may, but need not, restore the Premises to
such condition and Landlord shall notify Tenant prior to such work and permit
Tenant thirty (30) days opportunity to cure, Tenant shall pay the cost thereof
within thirty (30) days of demand therefore. (see number 11 of Rider to Lease)

      4. PROJECT SERVICES. Landlord shall furnish services as follows:

      A. Air Conditioning. During the normal business hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00
p.m., Monday through Friday (except for holidays), and 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on
Saturday, Landlord shall furnish (i) air conditioning such that the average
temperature condition of the Premises is 74 degrees F [+2 degrees F dry bulb
with 50% + 5% relative humidity] when the outdoor conditions are not above 95
degrees F dry bulb. Landlords obligations hereunder shall be diminished to the
extent that Tenant adversely affects the temperature maintained by the air
conditioning system by operating equipment other than normal office equipment.
If Tenant installs such equipment, Landlord upon Tenant's request, may install
supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises, and Tenant shall pay to
Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent the cost of installation, operation and
maintenance thereof. The temperature condition herein described above is further
conditioned based on blinds being fully lowered with slats at a forty-five
degree azimuth, coincident with peak sun load, or the equivalent solar barrier;
electrical load of five (5) watts (connected load) per rentable square foot and
a people load of one person per one hundred seventy-five square feet. The term
holidays, as referred to above shall be New Year's Day, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and any other
holiday taken by tenants occupying at least one-half (l/2) of the net rentable
area of office space in the Building, as announced from time to time by
Landlord.

      Landlord shall furnish air conditioning at Landlord's cost after business
hours if Tenant provides Landlord reasonable prior notice, and pays Landlord all
then current charges for such additional air conditioning.

      B. Elevators. Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service during
normal business hours to Tenant in common with Landlord and all other tenants.

of an emergency. Landlord shall provide freight elevator service at reasonable
hours at Tenant's request, subject to scheduling by the Landlord and payment for
the service by Tenant.

      C. Electricity. Landlord shall provide sufficient electricity to operate
normal office lighting and equipment. Tenant shall not install or operate in the
Premises any electrically operated equipment or other machinery, other than
business machines and equipment normally employed for general office use which
do not require high electricity consumption for operation, without obtaining the
prior written consent of Landlord. If any or all of Tenant's equipment requires
electricity consumption in excess of that which is necessary to operate normal
office equipment, such consumption (including consumption for computer or
telephone rooms and special HVAC equipment) shall be submetered by Landlord at
Tenant's expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for the
cost of its submetered consumption based upon Landlord's average cost of
electricity. Such Additional Rent shall be in addition to Tenant's obligations
pursuant to Section 2A(2) to pay its Proportionate Share of Operating Costs.

      D. Water. Landlord shall furnish hot and cold tap water for drinking and
toilet purposes. Tenant shall pay Landlord for water furnished for any other
purpose as Additional Rent at rates fixed by Landlord. Tenant shall not permit
water to be wasted.

      E. Janitorial Service. Landlord shall furnish janitorial service as
generally provided to other tenants in the Building. (Appendix F)

      F. Interruption of Services. If any of the Building equipment or machinery
ceases to function properly for any cause Landlord shall use reasonable
diligence to repair the same promptly. Landlord's inability to furnish, to any
extent, the Project services set forth in this Section 4, or any cessation
thereof resulting from any causes, including without limitation, any entry for
repairs pursuant to this Lease, and any renovation, redecoration or
rehabilitation of any area of the Building shall not work an abatement of any
portion of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or
agreement hereof. However, in the event that an interruption of the Project
services set forth in this Section 4 is within Landlord's reasonable control and
such interruption causes the Premises to be untenantable for a period of at
least five (5) consecutive business days, monthly Rent shall be thereafter
abated proportionately. (see number 2 of Rider to Lease)

      G. Lighting. Landlord or its designer shall furnish, install, and replace,
as required, all lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs starters, transformers and
ballast's and like items in Building-standard lighting fixtures in the premises.

Building consistent with that of comparable office buildings in the vicinity,
with no warranty or liability respecting the effectiveness of the service.

      5. ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS.

      A. Landlord's Consent and Conditions. Except as otherwise provided herein,
Tenant shall not make any improvements or alterations to the Premises (the
"Work") without in each instance submitting plans and specifications for the
Work to Landlord and obtaining

                                       5
<PAGE>

Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable actual charge for review of the plans and
all other items submitted by Tenant not to exceed $500.00. Landlord will be
deemed to be acting reasonably in withholding its consent for any Work which (a)
materially impacts the base structural components or systems of the Building,
(b) materially impacts any other tenant's premises, or (c) is visible from
outside the Premises. (see number 3 of Rider to Lease)

      Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for reasonable actual costs incurred for
review of the plans and all other items submitted by Tenant not to exceed
$500.00. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay for the
cost of all Work. All Work shall become the property of Landlord upon its
installation, except for Tenant's trade fixtures and for items which Landlord
requires Tenant to remove at Tenant's cost at the termination of the Lease
pursuant to Section 5E.

      The following requirements shall apply to all Work:

            (1) Prior to commencement, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord building
      permits, certificates of insurance satisfactory to Landlord, and, at
      Landlord's request, security for payment of all costs.

            (2) Tenant shall perform all Work so as to maintain peace and
      harmony among other contractors serving the Project and shall avoid
      interference with other work to be performed or services to be rendered in
      the Project.

            (3) The Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner,
      meeting the standard for construction and quality of materials in the
      Building, and shall comply with all insurance requirements and all
      applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations ("Governmental
      Requirements").

            (4) Tenant shall perform all Work so as to minimize or prevent
      disruption to other tenants, and Tenant shall comply with all reasonable
      requests of Landlord in response to complaints from other tenants.

            (5) Tenant shall perform all Work in compliance with Landlord's
      "Policies, Rules and Procedures for Construction Projects" in effect at
      the time the Work is performed.

            (6) Tenant shall permit Landlord to supervise all Work at Landlord's
      cost and without disturbing the Work.. Landlord may charge a supervisory
      fee not to exceed five percent (5%) of labor, material, and all other
      costs of the Work, if Landlord's employees or contractors perform the
      Work.

            (7) Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with contractor's
      affidavits and full and final statutory waivers of liens, as-built plans
      and specifications, and receipted bills covering all labor and materials,
      and all other close-out documentation required in Landlord's "Policies,
      Rules and Procedures for Construction Projects".

      B. Damage to Systems. If any part of the mechanical, electrical or other
systems in the Premises shall be damaged, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord,
and Landlord shall repair such damage. Landlord may also at any reasonable time
make any repairs or alterations which Landlord deems necessary for the safety or
protection of the Project, or which Landlord is required to make by any court or
pursuant to any Governmental Requirement. Tenant shall at its expense make all
other repairs necessary to keep the Premises, and Tenant's fixtures and personal
property, in good order, condition and repair; to the extent Tenant fails to do
so, Landlord may make such repairs to the Premises itself after notice and
thirty (30) days opportunity to cure. The cost of any repairs made by Landlord
on account of Tenant's default, or on account of the misuse or neglect by Tenant
or its invitees, contractors or agents anywhere in the Project, shall become
Additional Rent payable by Tenant on demand.

      C. No Liens. Tenant has no authority to cause or permit any lien or
encumbrance of any kind to affect Landlord's interest in the Project; any such
lien or encumbrance shall attach to Tenant's interest only. if any mechanic's
lien shall be filed or claim of lien made for work or materials furnished to
Tenant, then Tenant shall at its expense within thirty (30) days thereafter
either discharge or contest the lien or claim. If Tenant contests the lien or
claim, then Tenant shall (i) within such thirty (30) day period, provide
Landlord adequate security for the lien or claim, or (ii) contest the lien or
claim in good faith by appropriate proceedings that operate to stay its
enforcement, and (iii) pay promptly any final adverse judgment entered in any
such proceeding. If Tenant does not comply with these requirements, Landlord may
discharge the lien or claim, and the amount paid, as well as attorney's fees and
other expenses incurred by Landlord, shall become Additional Rent payable by
Tenant on demand.

      D. Ownership of Improvements. All Work as defined in this Section 5, fixed
partitions, hardware, equipment, machinery and all other improvements and all
fixtures except trade fixtures, constructed in the Premises by either Landlord
or Tenant, shall become Landlord's property upon installation without
compensation to Tenant, unless Landlord consents otherwise in writing.

      E. Removal at Termination. Upon the termination of this Lease or Tenant's
right of possession Tenant shall remove from the Project its trade fixtures,
furniture, moveable equipment and other personal property, any improvements
which Landlord elects shall be removed by Tenant pursuant to Section 5D provided
Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such removal requirements upon Landlord's
notice to Tenant of Landlord's consent or approval of same. Tenant shall repair
all damage caused by the installation or removal of any of the foregoing items.
If Tenant does not timely remove such property, then Tenant shall be
conclusively presumed to have, at Landlord's election (i) conveyed such property
to Landlord without compensation or (ii) abandoned such property, and Landlord
may dispose of or store any part thereof in any manner at Tenant's sole cost,
without waiving Landlord's right to claim from Tenant all expenses arising out
of Tenant's failure to remove the property, and without liability to Tenant or
any other person. Landlord shall have no duty to be a bailee of any such
personal property. If Landlord elects abandonment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
upon demand, any expenses incurred for disposition. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein, provided Tenant has notified Landlord as provided for in the
Lease of improvements, and such improvements have been made in accordance with
applicable government requirements at such time the improvement has been made,
Tenant's liability towards restoration shall not exceed $18,476.50 exclusive
of costs for removal of trade fixtures, furniture, moveable equipment, other
personal property.

      6. USE OF PREMISES. Tenant shall use the Premises only for general office
purposes. Tenant shall not allow any use of the Premises which will negatively
affect the cost of coverage of Landlord's insurance on the Project. Tenant shall
not allow any inflammable or explosive liquids or materials to be kept on the
Premises. Tenant shall not allow any use of the Premises which would cause the
value or utility of any part of the Premises to diminish or would interfere with
any other tenant or with the operation of the Project by Landlord. Tenant shall
not permit any nuisance or waste upon the Premises, or allow any offensive noise
or odor in or around the Premises.

      If any governmental authority shall deem the Premises to be a "place of
public accommodation" under the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other
comparable law as a result of Tenant's use, Tenant shall either modify its use
to cause such authority to rescind its designation or be responsible for any
alterations, structural or otherwise, required to be made to the Building or the
Premises under such laws.

      7. GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS AND BUILDING RULES. Tenant shall comply with
all Governmental Requirements applying to its use of the Premises. Tenant shall
also comply with all reasonable rules established for the Project from time to
time by Landlord. The present rules and regulations include, but are not limited
to those that are contained in Appendix B. Failure by another tenant to comply
with the rules or failure by Landlord to enforce them shall not relieve Tenant
of its obligation to comply with the rules or

                                       6
<PAGE>

make Landlord responsible to Tenant in any way. Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to apply the rules and regulations uniformly with respect to Tenant and
tenants in the Building under leases containing rules and regulations similar to
this Lease. In the event of alterations and repairs performed by Tenant, Tenant
shall comply with the provisions of Section 5 of this Lease and also Landlord's
"Policies, Rules and Regulations for Construction Projects". (see number 4 of
Rider to Lease)

Landlord and its officers, directors, employees and agents against any claim by
any third party for injury to any person or damage to or loss of any property

other act or omission or negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant's employees,
agents, guests or invitees. Tenant's obligations under this section shall
survive the termination of this Lease.

      Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant and its
officers, directors, employees and agents against any claim by any third party

Disease--Each Employee                          $500,000

      Tenant's insurance shall be primary and not contributory (contributory may
also be referred to as excess or umbrella insurance) to that carried by
Landlord, its agents, or mortgagee. Landlord, and if any, Landlord's building
manager or agent and ground lessor shall be named as additional insureds as
respects to insurance required of the Tenant in Section 8C(1). The company or

      Tenant's contractor's insurance shall be primary and not contributory to
that carried by Tenant, Landlord, their agents or mortgagees. Tenant and
Landlord, and if any, Landlord's building manager or agent, mortgagee or bound
lessor shall be named as additional insured on Tenant's contractor's insurance
policies.

      D. Insurance Certificates. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates
evidencing all required insurance no later than five (5) days prior to the

      E. Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall maintain "All-Risk" property
insurance at replacement cost, including loss of rents, on the Building, and
Commercial General Liability insurance policies covering the common areas of the

to property insurance, Landlord and Tenant mutually waive all rights of
subrogation, and the respective "All-Risk" coverage property insurance policies
carried by Landlord and Tenant shall contain enforceable waiver of subrogation
endorsements.

      9. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY.

      A. Termination. If a fire or other casualty causes substantial damage to
the Building or the Premises, Landlord shall engage a registered architect to
certify within one (1) month of the casualty to both Landlord and Tenant the
amount of time needed to restore the Building and the Premises to tenantability,
using standard working methods. If the time needed exceeds nine (9) months from
the beginning of the restoration, or two (2) months therefrom if the restoration
would begin during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease, then in the case of
the Premises, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease, and in the
case of the Building, Landlord may terminate this Lease, by notice to, the other
party within ten (10) days after the notifying party's receipt of the
architect's certificate. The termination shall be effective thirty (30) days
from the date of the notice and Rent shall be paid by Tenant to that date, with
an abatement for any portion of the Premises which has been untenantable after
the casualty.

                                       7
<PAGE>

      In the event the Premises are not tenantable within nine (9) months from
the certification date of a registered architect Tenant shall have the right to
terminate the Lease by providing Landlord with notice. If the Premises are
tenantable within thirty (30) days of such notice, Tenant may not terminate the
Lease.

      B. Restoration, If a casualty causes damage to the Building or the
Premises but this Lease is not terminated for any reason, then subject to the
rights of any mortgagees or ground lessors, Landlord shall obtain the applicable
insurance proceeds and diligently restore the Building and the Premises subject
to current Governmental Requirements. Tenant shall replace its damaged
improvements, personal property and fixtures. Rent shall be abated on a per diem
basis during the restoration for any portion of the Premises which is
untenantable, except to the extent that Tenant's negligence caused the casualty.

      10. EMINENT DOMAIN. If a part of the Project is taken by eminent domain or
deed in lieu thereof which is so substantial that the Premises cannot reasonably
be used by Tenant for the operation of its business, then either party may
terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the taking. If any substantial
portion of the Project is taken without affecting the Premises, then Landlord
may terminate this Lease as of the date of such taking. Rent shall abate from
the date of the taking in proportion to any part of the Premises taken. The
entire award for the taking of any kind shall be paid to Landlord. Tenant may
pursue a separate award for its trade fixtures and moving expenses in connection
with the taking, but only if such recovery does not reduce the awards payable to
Landlord. All obligations accrued to the date of the taking shall be performed
by the party liable to perform said obligations, as set forth herein.

      11. RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD.

      Landlord may exercise at any time any of the following rights on prior
written notice respecting the operation of the Project without liability to the
Tenant of any kind:

      A. Names. To change the name or street address of the Building or the
suite number(s) of the Premises.

on the exterior or interior of the building without Landlord's prior approval.
(see number 16 of Rider to Lease)

      C. Window Treatments. To approve, at its discretion, prior to
installation, any shades, blinds, ventilators or window treatments of any kind,
as well as any lighting within the Premises that may be visible from the
exterior of the Building or any interior common area.

      D. Key. To retain and use at any time passkeys to enter the Premises or

manner of movement within the Building of any safe, central filing system or
other heavy article of Tenant's property. Tenant shall move its property
entirely at its own risk.

interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises.

      I. Relocation of Tenant. Intentionally omitted.

      J. Use of Lockbox. To designate a lockbox collection agent for collections
of amounts due Landlord. In that case, the date of payment of Rent or other sums

collection if payment is made in the form of a negotiable instrument thereafter
dishonored upon presentment. However, Landlord may reject any payment for all
purposes as of the date of receipt or actual collection by mailing to Tenant
within 21 days after such receipt or collection a check equal to the amount sent
by Tenant.

      K. Repairs and Alterations. To make repairs or alterations to the Project
and in doing so transport any required material through the Premises, to close
entrances, doors, corridors, elevators and other facilities in the Project, to
open any ceiling in the Premises, or to temporarily suspend services or use of
common areas in the Building. (see number 5 of Rider to Lease) Landlord may
perform any such repairs or alterations during ordinary business hours, except
that Tenant may require any Work in the Premises to be done after business hours
if Tenant pays Landlord for overtime and any other expenses incurred. Landlord
may do or permit any work on any nearby building, land, street, alley or way.

      L. Landlord's Assets. If Tenant is in default under this Lease, possession
of Tenant's funds or negotiation of Tenant's negotiable instrument by any of
Landlord's agents shall not waive any breach by Tenant or any remedies of
Landlord under this Lease, unless such default is thereby cured.

      M. Building Services. To install, use and maintain through the Premises,
pipes, conduits, wires and ducts serving the Building, provided that such
installation, use and maintenance does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's
use of the Premises.

in connection with the operation, maintenance or preservation of the Building.

      12. TENANT'S DEFAULT

      Any of the following shall constitute a default by Tenant:

      A. Rent Default. Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due and fails to cure
such default within seven (7) days after notice thereof.

      B. Assignment/Sublease or Hazardous Substances Default. Tenant defaults in
its obligations beyond any applicable cure period under Section 17 Assignment
and Sublease or Section 28 Hazardous Substances;

      C. Other Performance Default. Tenant fails to perform any other obligation
to Landlord under this Lease, and, in the case of only the first two (2) such
failures in any twelve (12) month period, this failure continues for twenty (20)
days after written notice from Landlord, except that if Tenant begins to cure
its failure within the twenty (20) day period but cannot reasonably complete its
cure within such period, then, so long as Tenant continues to diligently attempt
to cure its failure, the twenty (20) day period shall be extended to sixty (60)
days, or such lesser period as is reasonably necessary to complete the cure;

      D. Credit Default. One of the following credit defaults occurs:

            (1) Tenant commences any proceeding under any law relating to
      bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debts, or seeks
      appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official
      for the Tenant or for any substantial part of its

                                       8
<PAGE>

      property, or any such proceeding is commenced against Tenant and either
      remains undismissed for a period of thirty days or results in the entry of
      an order for relief against Tenant which is not fully stayed within seven
      days after entry;

            (2) Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt, does not generally pay its
      debts as they become due, or admits in writing its inability to pay its
      debts, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

            (3) Any third party obtains a levy or attachment under process of
      law against Tenant's leasehold interest and the same is not removed or
      bonded within thirty (30) days.

      E. Vacation or Abandonment Default. Tenant vacates or abandons the
Premises, and fails to pay Rent when due.

      13. LANDLORD REMEDIES.

      A. Accelerate Rent. Landlord may accelerate rent, discounted to present
value at a rate of prime due hereunder and may also at its option proceed with
any and all of its remedies provided by this lease. Landlord shall use best
efforts to mitigate damages.

      B. Termination of Lease or Possession. If Tenant defaults, Landlord may
elect by notice to Tenant either to terminate this Lease or to terminate
Tenant's possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease. In either
case, Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and deliver possession to
Landlord, and Landlord may repossess the Premises and may, at Tenant's sole
cost, remove any of Tenant's signs and any of its other property, without
relinquishing its right to receive Rent or any other right against Tenant.

      C. Lease Termination Damages. If Landlord terminates the Lease, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to all rent accrued up to and including the
date of termination, plus Landlord's reasonable estimate of the aggregate Rent
that would have been payable from the date of termination through the
Termination Date, reduced by the rental value of the Premises calculated as of
the date of termination for the same period, taking into account anticipated
vacancy prior to reletting, reletting expenses and market concessions, both
discounted to present value at the rate often percent (10%) per annum. All such
amounts shall be then immediately due and payable upon the termination. If
Landlord shall relet any part of the Premises for any part of such period before
such present value amount shall have been paid by Tenant or finally determined
by a court, then the amount of Rent payable pursuant to such reletting (taking
into account vacancy prior to reletting and any reletting expenses or any
concessions) shall be deemed to be the reasonable rental value for that portion
of the Premises relet during the period of the reletting.

      D. Possession Termination Damages. If Landlord terminates Tenant's right
to possession without terminating the Lease and Landlord takes possession of the
Premises itself, Landlord may relet any part of the Premises for such Rent, for
such time, and upon such terms as Landlord in its sole discretion shall
determine, without any obligation to do so prior to renting other vacant areas
in the Building. Any proceeds from reletting the Premises shall first be applied
to the expenses of reletting, including redecoration, repair, alteration,
advertising, brokerage, legal, and other reasonably necessary expenses. If the
reletting proceeds after payment of expenses are insufficient to pay the full
amount of Rent under this Lease, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord
monthly upon demand as it becomes due. Any excess proceeds shall be retained by
Landlord.

      E. Landlord's Remedies Cumulative. All of Landlord's remedies under this
Lease shall be in addition to all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in
equity. Waiver by Landlord of any breach of any obligation by Tenant shall be
effective only if it is in writing, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any
other breach, or any subsequent breach of the same obligation. Landlord's
acceptance of payment by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by
Tenant, and if the acceptance occurs after Landlord's notice to Tenant, or
termination of the Lease or of Tenant's right to possession, the acceptance
shall not affect such notice or termination. Acceptance of payment by Landlord
after commencement of a legal proceeding or final judgment shall not affect such
proceeding or judgement. Landlord may advance such monies and take such other
actions for Tenant's account as reasonably may be required to cure or mitigate
any default by Tenant. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any such
advance, and such sums shall bear interest at the default interest rate until
paid.

      F. Waiver of Trial By Jury. Each party waives trial by jury in the event
of any legal proceeding brought by the other in connection with this Lease. Each
party shall bring any action against the other in connection with this Lease in
a federal, state, or county court located in Palm Beach County, Florida,
consents to the jurisdiction of such courts, and waives any right to have any
proceeding transferred from such courts on the ground of improper venue or
inconvenient forum.

      G. Litigation Costs, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys'
fees, appellate fees and other costs in enforcing this Lease, whether or not
suit is filed.

      14. SURRENDER. Upon termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to
possession, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in good order and
condition, ordinary wear and casualty damage excepted. If Landlord requires
Tenant to remove any alterations, then Tenant shall remove the alterations in a
good and workmanlike manner and restore the Premises to its condition prior to
their installation.

      15. HOLDOVER. Tenant shall have no right to holdover possession of the
Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease without Landlord's
prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole and
absolute discretion. If Tenant retains possession of any part of the Premises
after the Term, Tenant shall become a month-to-month tenant for the entire
Premises upon all of the terms of this Lease as might be applicable to such
month-to-month tenancy, except that Tenant shall pay all of Base Rent, Operating
Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent at 150% the rate in effect immediately prior
to such holdover, computed on a monthly basis for each full or partial month
Tenant remains in possession. No acceptance of Rent or other payments by
Landlord under these holdover provisions shall operate as a waiver of Landlord's
right to regain possession or any other of Landlord's remedies.

      16. SUBORDINATION TO GROUND LEASES AND MORTGAGES.

      A. Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinate to any present or future
ground lease or mortgage respecting the Project, and any amendments to such
ground lease or mortgage, at the election of the ground lessor or mortgagee as
the case may be, effected by notice to Tenant in the manner provided in this
Lease. The subordination shall be effective upon such notice, but at the request
of Landlord or ground lessor or mortgagee, Tenant shall within ten (10) business
days of the request, execute and deliver to the requesting party any reasonable
documents provided to evidence the subordination. Any mortgagee has the right,
at its option, to subordinate its mortgage to the terms of this Lease, without
notice to, nor the consent of, Tenant. (see number 6 of Rider to Lease)

      B. Termination of Ground Lease or Foreclosure of Mortgage. If any ground
lease is terminated or mortgage foreclosed or deed in lieu of foreclosure given
and the ground lessor, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall
thereby become the owner of the Project, Tenant shall attorn to such ground
lessor or mortgagee or purchaser without any deduction or setoff by Tenant, and
this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease between Tenant and such
ground lessor, mortgagee or purchaser. The ground lessor or mortgagee or
purchaser shall be liable as Landlord only during the time such ground lessor or
mortgagee or purchaser is the owner of the Project. At the request of Landlord,
ground lessor or mortgagee, Tenant shall execute and deliver within ten (10)
business days of the request any document furnished by the requesting party to
evidence Tenant's agreement to attorn. (see number 7 of Rider to Lease)

                                       9
<PAGE>

      C. Security Deposit. Any ground lessor or mortgagee shall be responsible
for the return of any security deposit by Tenant only to the extent the security
deposit is received by such ground lessor or mortgagee.

      D. Notice and Right to Cure. The Project is subject to any ground lease
and mortgage identified with name and address of ground lessor or mortgagee in
Appendix D to this Lease (as the same may be amended from time to time by
written notice to Tenant). Tenant agrees to send by registered or certified mail
to any ground lessor or mortgagee identified either in such Appendix or in any
later notice from Landlord to Tenant a copy of any notice of default sent by
Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the required
time period under this Lease, ground lessor or mortgagee shall have the same
time allocated to Landlord to cure such default.

      E. Definitions. As used in this Section 16, "mortgage" shall include "deed
of trust" and/or "trust deed" and "mortgagee" shall include "beneficiary" and/or
"trustee", "mortgagee" shall include the mortgagee of any ground lessee, and
"ground lessor", "mortgagee", and "purchaser" at a foreclosure sale shall
include, in each case, all of its successors and assigns, however remote.

      17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE.

      A. In General. Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of Landlord in
each case, (i) make or allow any assignment or transfer, by operation of law or
otherwise, of any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease, (ii) grant or allow
any lien or encumbrance, by operation of law or otherwise, upon any part of
Tenant's interest in this Lease, (iii) sublet any part of the Premises, or (iv)
permit anyone other than Tenant and its employees to occupy any part of the
Premises. Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all of its obligations under
this Lease, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer. No consent granted by
Landlord shall be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or
transfer, lien or encumbrance, sublease or occupancy. Tenant shall pay all of
Landlord's attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any
consent requested by Tenant or in reviewing any proposed assignment or
subletting, not to exceed $500.00. Any assignment or transfer, grant of lien or
encumbrance, or sublease or occupancy without Landlord's prior written consent
shall be void. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises in its
entirety any rights of Tenant to renew this Lease, extend the Term or to lease
additional space in the Project shall be extinguished thereby and will not be
transferred to the assignee or subtenant, all such rights being personal to the
Tenant named herein.

      B. Landlord's Consent. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent
to any proposed assignment or subletting. It shall be reasonable for Landlord to
withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease if (i) Tenant is in default
beyond any applicable notice and cure period under this Lease, (ii) the proposed
assignee or sublessee is a tenant in the Project, (iii) the financial
responsibility, nature of business, and character of the proposed assignee or
subtenant are not all reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iv) in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord the purpose for which the assignee or subtenant
intends to use the Premises (or a portion thereof) is not in keeping with
Landlord's standards for the Building or are in violation of the terms of this
Lease or any other leases in the Project, (v) the proposed assignee or subtenant
is a government entity. The foregoing shall not exclude any other reasonable
basis for Landlord to withhold its consent.

      C. Procedure. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any proposed assignment or
sublease at least thirty (30) days prior to its proposed effective date. The
notice shall include the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant,
a signed term sheet, or an execution copy of the proposed assignment or
sublease, and sufficient information to permit Landlord to determine the
financial responsibility and character of the proposed assignee or subtenant. As
a condition to any effective assignment of this Lease, the assignee shall
execute and deliver in form satisfactory to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the effective date of the assignment, an assumption of all of the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease. As a condition to any effective
sublease, subtenant shall execute and deliver in form satisfactory to Landlord
at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the sublease, an
agreement to comply with all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and at
Landlord's option, an agreement (except for the economic obligations which
subtenant will undertake directly to Tenant) to attorn to Landlord under the
terms of the sublease in the event this Lease terminates before the sublease
expires.

      D. Change of Management or Ownership. Intentionally omitted.

      E. Excess Payments. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet any part
of the Premises for consideration in excess of the pro-rats portion of Rent
applicable to the space subject to the assignment or sublet, then Tenant shall
pay to Landlord as Additional Rent 50% of any such net excess within thirty (30)
days of receipt (excluding brokerage commissions and all reasonable leasing
costs).

      F. Recapture. Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within
thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice of assignment or subletting,
terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in Tenant's notice, as
of the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease and all obligations
under this Lease as to such space shall expire except as to any obligations that
expressly survive any termination of this Lease. (see number 8 of Rider to
Lease)

      18. CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD. If Landlord shall at any time transfer its
interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall be released of any
obligations occurring after such transfer, except the obligation to return to
Tenant any security deposit not delivered to its transferee, and Tenant shall
look solely to Landlord's successors for performance of such obligations. This
Lease shall not be affected by any such transfer.

      19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Each party shall, within ten (10) business days
of receiving a request from the other party, execute, acknowledge in recordable
form, and deliver to the other party or its designee a certificate stating,
subject to a specific statement of any applicable exceptions, that the Lease as
amended to date is in full force and effect, that the Tenant is paying Rent and
other charges on a current basis, and that to the best of the knowledge of the
certifying party, the other party has committed no uncured defaults and has no
offsets or claims. The certifying party may also be required to state the date
of commencement of payment of Rent, the Commencement Date, the Termination Date,
the Base Rent, the current Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent
estimates, the status of any improvements required to be completed by Landlord,
the amount of any security deposit, and such other matters as may be reasonably
requested.

      20. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord on the date of
this Lease, security for the performance of all of its obligations in the amount
set forth on the Schedule. If Tenant defaults after applicable notice and cure
periods expire, under this Lease, Landlord may use any part of the Security
Deposit to make any defaulted payment, to pay for Landlord's cure of any
defaulted obligation, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage resulting
from any default. To the extent any portion of the deposit is used, Tenant shall
within five (5) days after demand from Landlord restore the deposit to its full
amount. Landlord may keep the Security Deposit in its general funds and shall
not be required to pay interest to Tenant on the deposit amount. If Tenant shall
perform all of its obligations under this Lease and return the Premises to
Landlord at the end of the Term, Landlord shall return all of the remaining
Security Deposit to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term.
The Security Deposit shall not serve as an advance payment of Rent or a measure
of Landlord's damages for any default under this Lease.

      If Landlord transfers its interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord
may transfer the Security Deposit to its transferee. Upon such transfer,
Landlord shall have no further obligation to return the Security Deposit to
Tenant, and Tenant's right to the return of the Security Deposit shall apply
solely against Landlord's transferee.

      21. FORCE MAJEURE. Either party shall not be in default under this Lease
to the extent that such party is unable to perform any of its obligations
(exclusive of monetary) on account of any strike or labor problem, energy
shortage, governmental pre-emption or prescription, national emergency, or any
other cause of any kind beyond its reasonable control ("Force Majeure").

such payment or $250. In addition, interest shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
on any late payments of Rent from the date due until paid at the rate provided

may be characterized as unrelated business income under the United States
Internal Revenue Code and its regulations, then Tenant shall enter into any
amendment proposed by Landlord to avoid such income, so long as the amendment
does not require Tenant to make more payments or accept fewer services from
Landlord, than this Lease provides.

      28. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous
Substances to be brought upon, produced, stored, used, discharged or disposed of
in or near the Project unless Landlord has consented to such storage or use in
its sole discretion. "Hazardous Substances" include those hazardous substances
described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., any
other applicable federal, state or local law, and the regulations adopted under
these laws. If any lender or governmental agency shall require testing solely as
a result of Tenant's use for Hazardous Substances in the Premises, Tenant shall
pay for such testing. Landlord shall not cause or permit any Hazardous
Substances to be brought upon, produced, stored, used, discharged, or disposed
of in or near the Project.

      29. EXCULPATION. Landlord shall have no personal liability under this
Lease; its liability shall be limited to its interest in the Project, and shall
not extend to any other property or assets of the Landlord. In no event shall
any officer, director, employee, agent, shareholder, partner, member or
beneficiary of Landlord be personally liable for any of Landlord's obligations
hereunder. (see number 10 of Rider to Lease)

      30. RADON GAS. Radon is naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it
has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks
to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal
and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional
information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county
public health unit. This section of the lease has been inserted to comply with
Section 404.056 97 Florida statutes.

      31. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. Subject to Subsection B below, and subject to
any expansion or renewal options of any current tenant in the Building (a "Prior
Tenant"), or the right of Landlord to extend the Lease of any current tenant in
the Building, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a one time right of first offer
for Suite 200 of the Building (the "ROFO Space"), to be exercised in accordance
with Subsection A below.

      A. If the ROFO Space becomes available for lease to anyone other than a
Prior Tenant, Landlord shall so notify Tenant ("Landlord's ROFO Notice").
Landlord's ROFO Notice may be given up to six (6) months in advance of such
availability and shall contain the terms upon which Landlord intends to offer
the ROFO Space for lease to the market. Landlord's ROFO Notice shall provide for
Base Rent at 95% of fair market rent. Tenant shall notify Landlord within ten
(10) days of receipt of Landlord's ROFO Notice whether it desires to lease the
ROFO Space on the terms set forth in Landlord's ROFO Notice. If Tenant does not
notify Landlord within said 10-day period that it will lease the ROFO Space,
Tenant shall be deemed to have refused the ROFO Space. After any refusal, Tenant
shall have no further right of first offer for such ROFO Space and Landlord
shall be free to lease such space to any party for any term and upon any terms
it desires. If Tenant exercises its right of first offer with respect to the
ROFO Space, such space shall be added to the Premises for all purposes of this
lease for the remaining Term of the Lease (but in no event less than five (5)
years) on (a) the terms specified in Landlord's ROFO Notice, and (b) the terms
of this Lease to the extent that they do not conflict with the terms specified
in Landlord's ROFO Notice, except that the terms of Landlord's ROFO Notice shall
not apply during any Renewal Term, and instead, the terms of the Lease applying
to the remainder of the Premises during the Renewal Term shall also apply to the
ROFO Space.

      B. Tenant's right of first offer is subject to the conditions that: (i) on
the date that Tenant delivers its notice exercising its right of first offer,
Tenant is not in default under this Lease after the expiration of any applicable
notice and cure periods, and (ii) Tenant shall not have assigned the Lease, or
sublet any portion of the Premises under a sublease which is in effect at any
time during the period commencing with Tenant's delivery of its notice and
ending on the date the ROFO Space is added to the Premises.

      C. Promptly after Tenant's exercise of its right of first offer, Landlord
shall execute and deliver to Tenant an amendment to the Lease to reflect changes
in the Premises, Base Rent, Tenant's Proportionate Share and any other
appropriate terms changed by the addition of the ROFO Space. Within 5 days
thereafter, Tenant shall execute and return the amendment. (see number 17 of
Rider to Lease)

      32. PRIOR AGREEMENTS. Upon the full execution of this Lease all other
leases, amendments and agreements shall expire as if the Termination Date of
such documents was January 31, 2001. The only remaining obligation by Landlord
towards any prior agreements shall be the Landlord's Contribution ($152,630.00)
for suites 100 and 259.

                                       12

      (v)   contributions to any organizations, whether political or charitable;

      (vi)  reserves, including reserves for capital items, bad debts, or rental
            losses, or for future Operating Costs;

      (vii) costs of goods and/or services supplied by Landlord or by
            subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord (including overhead and/or
            profit charged in connection therewith), to the extent that the
            resulting cost of such goods and/or services exceeds the cost of
            similar goods and services in comparable buildings when rendered by
            unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis;

     (viii) rentals and other related costs incurred in leasing items the cost
            of which would be excluded from Operating Costs, except for
            equipment used for making repairs or keeping permanent systems in
            operation while repairs are being made;

      (ix)  costs, including, without limitation, costs of investigation,
            monitoring, removal or remediation, arising from the presence of
            hazardous substances in or about the building project, including,
            without limitation, in the soil or ground water;

      (x)   capital costs for sculpture, paintings or other art objects;

      (xi)  Landlord's general overhead and general and administrative expenses
            except those costs incurred in the day-to-day management or
            operation of the Building;

      (xii) rent for any office space occupied by building management personnel
            to the extent the size or rental rate of such office space exceeds
            the size or fair market rental value of offices space occupied by
            management personnel of comparable buildings;

     (xiii) costs associated with the operation of the partnership or other
            entity which constitutes Landlord, as distinguished from costs of
            operation of the Building, including accounting and legal costs,
            costs of defending lawsuits with any mortgagee, and costs of
            selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or hypothecating any
            ownership interest in Landlord, or any of Landlord's interests in
            the Building;

      (xiv) costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any audit of Operating
            Costs;

      (xv)  travel or entertainment expenses;

      Since one of the purposes of Operating Costs is to allow Landlord to
      require Tenant to pay the actual costs attributable to Tenant's use and
      occupancy of the premises, Landlord agrees that (i) Landlord will not
      collect or be entitled to collect from Tenant with respect to Operating
      Costs, an amount greater than the Tenant's proportionate share of the
      Operating Costs actually paid by Landlord in connection with the operation
      of the Building and (ii) Landlord shall reduce the amount of Operating
      Costs by any refund or discount Landlord receives in connection with any
      costs or expenditures previously included in Operating Costs. To the
      limited extent that a cost is not specifically excluded as a component of
      Operating Costs in the definition of "Operating Costs," whether such
      expense shall be treated as an Expense shall be determined in accordance
      with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

2.    Abatement.

      A.    "Abatement Event" shall mean any of the following, provided same
            substantially interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises and
            Tenant as a result thereof vacates all, or a portion of the Premises
            because Tenant can no longer use same for its business purposes:

            (i)   any repair, maintenance, alteration or other work by Landlord
                  done or not done in or about the Premises to the extent
                  Landlord is liable;

            (ii)  any default beyond the applicable cure period by Landlord
                  under this Lease;

            (iii) the presence of any hazardous materials in violation of
                  Environmental Laws in or at the Premises not caused by Tenant;

                                       14
<PAGE>

            (iv)  the interruption of any access to the Premises or utility
                  service to the extent such interruption is caused by Landlord,
                  through no fault of Tenant.

      B. If an Abatement Event occurs and continues for three (3) consecutive
      business days, all fixed amount rent, additional rent and any other
      charges due hereunder shall abate from the date the Abatement Event first
      occurred until its cessation. In the event of an Abatement Event that
      renders only part of the Premises unusable, the abatement shall be
      calculated by multiplying the base rent and any additional rent by the
      proportion that the square footage of the portion of the Premises so
      affected bears to the square footage of the entire Premises, provided,
      however, if the interference is to Tenant's use of the Premises and is
      such that the unaffected portion of the Premises, if any, is not
      sufficient to allow Tenant to conduct effectively its business from such
      portion, the said base rent, additional rent and any other charges due
      hereunder shall totally abate until such interference ceases.

3.    Alterations. Such consent for alterations shall not be required by
      Landlord if such improvements (a) are nonstructural in nature, (b) would
      not affect the Building systems outside of the premises, (c) would not
      require Tenant to obtain a building permit, or (d) would not cost in
      excess of $100,000.00 provided that Tenant gives prior written notice to
      Landlord of such work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary all
      alterations must be done to comply with Construction Rules and Regulations
      (Appendix G).

4.    Compliance with Laws. Landlord to the best of their knowledge represents
      that the Premises is in compliance with all material laws, ordinances,
      rules, regulations, requirements and directives of federal, state and
      municipal government entities. Landlord shall make, at Landlord's expense,
      all structural changes, changes to the roof, foundation, common areas and
      parking areas, and changes to the base building equipment and systems
      serving the Building in compliance with material laws, ordinances, rules,
      regulations, requirements and directives of federal, state and municipal
      government entities.

5.    Interruption. Landlord shall exercise all reasonable efforts to minimize
      inconvenience to Tenant in connection therewith.

6.    Subordination. If Landlord elects not to request such subordination,
      non-disturbance and attornment agreement or fails to obtain such
      subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, then this Lease
      shall not be subject and subordinate to such mortgage or ground lease.

      Landlord agrees that neither the foreclosure of mortgage, or the
      institution of any suit, action, summary or other proceeding against the
      Landlord, or any successor to the Landlord, nor any foreclosure brought by
      any of Landlord's mortgagees to recover possession of the Premises covered
      thereby, shall by operation of law or otherwise result in cancellation or
      termination of this Lease or the obligations of the Tenant hereunder.

7.    Attornment. Upon Tenant's attornment to a successor landlord, this Lease
      shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the
      successor in interest to Landlord ("Successor Landlord") and Tenant upon
      all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease.

8.    Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant
      may permit any corporation or other business entities into or with which
      Tenant is merged or consolidated or with an entity to which substantially
      all of Tenant's assets are transferred or which, directly or indirectly,
      control, are controlled by, or are under common control with Tenant
      (herein referred to as a Related Entity") to sublet all or part of the
      Premises for any of the purposes permitted to Tenant, or receive an
      assignment of this Lease provided that (i) Tenant shall not be in default
      in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease beyond the
      expiration of applicable notice and cure periods and (ii) prior to such
      subletting or assignment, Tenant furnishes Landlord with the name of any
      such Related Entity, together with a certification of Tenant, and such
      other proof as Landlord may reasonably request, that such
      subtenant/assignee is a Related Entity of Tenant. For the purposes hereof,
      "control" shall be deemed to mean direct or indirect ownership of not less
      than a majority of all of the voting stock of such corporation or a
      majority of the legal and equitable interest in any other business
      entities, or the power to direct the operation or management of such
      corporation or entity, by contract or otherwise. The transfer of the
      outstanding capital stock of Tenant, or the stock of any entity
      controlling Tenant, through the "over-the-counter market" or through any
      U.S. or foreign recognized stock exchange, shall not be deemed an
      assignment or sublet of this Lease.

9.    Self Help. Tenant shall have the right to make such repairs which are
      required to be made by Landlord under the terms of this Lease on behalf of
      Landlord, and to be reimbursed by Landlord for the reasonable actual cost
      thereof, if Landlord fails to make such repairs pursuant to subsection (a)
      below.

      (a)   Landlord agrees to make repairs as required under the terms of this
            Lease and as follows:

            (i)   If Landlord fails to undertake and commence the repairs
                  required under this Lease, Tenant shall immediately notify
                  Landlord in writing of the required and outstanding repairs.

            (ii)  Landlord shall undertake and commence the required repairs
                  within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from
                  Tenant and shall make all diligent efforts to complete such
                  repairs in a timely manner.

            (iii) Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding,
                  Landlord agrees that in the event of an emergency which:

                  (a)   poses the threat of imminent, severe damage to Tenant,
                        Tenant's employees, Tenant's business or Tenant's
                        property; and

                  (b)   necessitates prompt maintenance, repair, or replacement
                        of items which are otherwise required by this Lease to
                        be maintained, repaired, or replaced by Landlord,

                  then Tenant may at its option proceed forthwith to make
                  repairs. Tenant shall notify Landlord as expeditiously as
                  possible of each emergency.

      (b)   If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for such repair costs incurred
            by Tenant within ten (10) days after written request from Tenant
            therefore (which request must be supported by paid receipts), Tenant
            may deduct the cost thereof from the rent otherwise payable
            hereunder.

                                       15
<PAGE>

10.   Indemnity. In no event shall any trustee, advisor, beneficiary, director,
      officer or employee (collectively, the "Tenant's Parties"), be liable for
      the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall
      look solely to Tenant to enforce Tenant's obligations hereunder and shall
      not seek any damages against any of the Tenant's parties.

11.   Maintenance and Repair. Landlord covenants to keep in good order, repair
      and condition and make all necessary repairs and replacements to: (i) all
      structural portions of the Building; (ii) all exterior portions of the
      Building; (iii) any part of the Building, if necessitated by Landlord's
      negligence; (iv) to the extend not the obligation of a utility company,
      all utility lines, pipes, ducts, conduits and the like in the building
      which serve the Premises, or inside the Premises if such utility lines,
      pipes, ducts, conduits and the like which run through the Premises and
      service all parts of the Building other than the Premises; and (v) all
      work required to keep the Premises watertight (for example, the roof,
      gutters and downspouts). Tenant covenants to keep in good order, repair
      and condition and make all necessary repairs and replacements to all
      utility lines, pipes, ducts, conduits and the like (to the extent they are
      within the Premises) that specifically service the Premises, and are not
      for the common systems of the Project.

12.   Utility Connections. Tenant shall have the right to connect with any
      telephone, telex and/or any other company's service supplying data
      information over telephone lines without interference from the Landlord.
      Tenant to the extent excess capacity or capabilities exist shall have the
      right to use all electrical and plumbing risers and branch work located in
      the Building for purposes of connecting its systems so long as it does not
      materially impact services to other tenants or services to the common
      areas. Landlord represents to the best of its knowledge that the current
      life/safety system, including, without limitation, the sprinkler system in
      the Premises is in material compliance with law for purposes of an office
      use in the Premise.

13.   Approvals. All approvals or consents required by either party pursuant to
      this Lease shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

14.   Satellite Dishes. During the term of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost
      and expense, shall have the right to install, maintain, use, repair and
      replace satellite antennas and related equipment and cabling on the roof
      of the Building in a location mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant,
      provided however, the location must be one where the satellite antennas
      can transmit and receive without interference. Tenant shall also have the
      right to install, maintain, use, repair and replace cabling for the
      satellite antennas through the chases and shafts of the Building. Upon the
      expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all
      satellite antennas from the roof and repair any punctures to the roof. Any
      work associated with the installation of any satellite dish or antenna
      must also fully comply with all governmental regulations.

15.   Compliance with Environmental Laws. Intentionally omitted.

16.   Signage. If Tenant leases at least 30,000 rentable square feet in the
      Building and is the single largest Tenant in the Building, upon written
      request to Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant's cost, shall have the right to
      install a sign on the building to reflect its corporate identity, provided
      that the design, dimension, construction and location of such signage
      shall be in compliance with all applicable laws, is acceptable to
      Landlord, and does not conflict with any rights previously granted to
      existing tenants. Tenant shall be responsible for paying all utility
      charges associated with such signage. Tenant shall be entitled, at
      Tenant's cost, to proportional signage on any sign monument at the
      Building. Tenant, at Tenant's cost, shall be entitled to install its
      reasonably acceptable custom signage displays at each of its suite
      entrances, subject to Landlord's review and approval.

17.   ROFO Space. If Tenant refuses the ROFO Space, then Landlord may at any
      time thereafter lease such ROFO Space to any other party on such terms as
      Landlord may desire; provided, however, if Landlord desires to lease the
      ROFO Space on materially less favorable economic terms than those
      contained in the ROFO Space Notice previously given for such ROFO Space,
      then Landlord shall reoffer the ROFO Space to Tenant on such materially
      less favorable economic terms. A decrease of 10% in the Base Rent payable
      for such ROFO Space shall be deemed to be a "materially less favorable
      economic term" for purposes of this Section. If Tenant fails to lease the
      ROFO Space after receiving such reoffer, then Landlord may within six (6)
      months, thereafter lease the ROFO Space to any other party on the same
      terms contained in such reoffer. If Landlord fails to lease the ROFO Space
      to another party within such 6-month period, then Tenant shall once again
      have the option to lease the ROFO Space pursuant to this Section.

      If Landlord receives an offer from a third party to lease the ROFO Space
      that Landlord desires to accept at a time when the ROFO Space is not
      listed for lease with a real estate broker or otherwise being offered for
      lease to third parties (an "Unsolicited Offer"), then Landlord shall give
      Tenant written notice of such Unsolicited Offer, prior to accepting the
      same. If Tenant gives Landlord written notice that Tenant agrees to lease
      the ROFO Space on all of the same terms as are contained in the
      Unsolicited Offer within ten (10) days after receiving the Unsolicited
      Offer Notice, then Landlord shall lease the ROFO Space to Tenant on the
      same terms as the Unsolicited Offer. If Tenant fails to lease the ROFO
      Space in accordance with the terms of the Unsolicited Offer and Landlord
      desires to lease the ROFO Space on materially less favorable economic
      terms than those contained in the Unsolicited Offer, then Landlord shall
      reoffer the ROFO Space for lease to Tenant in writing on such materially
      less favorable economic terms and Tenant shall have ten (10) business days
      within which to accept such reoffer. If Tenant fails to lease the ROFO
      Space in accordance with this Section, then Landlord may within six (6)
      months thereafter lease the ROFO Space to any other party on the same
      terms or terms that are not materially less favorable economic terms than
      those contained in such reoffer. If Landlord fails to lease the ROFO Space
      to another party within such 6-month period, then Tenant shall once again
      have the option to lease the ROFO Space pursuant to this Section.

                            RULES AND REGULATIONS

      1. Tenant shall not place anything, or allow anything to be placed near
the glass of any window, door, partition or wall which may, in Landlord's
judgment, appear unsightly from outside of the Project.

      2. The Project directory shall be available to Tenant solely to display
names and their location in the Project, which display shall be as directed by
Landlord.

      3. The sidewalks, halls, passages, exits, entrances, elevators and
stairways shall not be obstructed by Tenant or used by Tenant for any purposes
other than for ingress to and egress from the Premises. Tenant shall lend its
full cooperation to keep such areas free from all obstruction and in a clean and
sightly condition and shall move all supplies, furniture and equipment as soon
as received directly to the Premises and move all such items and waste being
taken from the Premises (other than waste customarily removed by employees of
the Building) directly to the shipping platform at or about the time arranged
for removal therefrom. The halls, passages, exits, entrances, elevators,
stairways, balconies and roof are not for the use of the general public and
Landlord shall, in all cases, retain the right to control and prevent access
thereto by all persons whose presence in the judgment of Landlord, reasonably
exercised, shall be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation and
interests of the Project. Neither Tenant nor any employee or invitee of Tenant
shall go upon the roof of the Project.

      4. The toilet rooms, urinals, wash bowls and other apparatuses shall not
be used for any purposes other than that for which they were constructed, and no
foreign substance of any kind whatsoever shall be thrown therein, and to the
extent caused by Tenant or its employees or invitees, the expense of any
breakage, stoppage or damage resulting from the violation of this rule shall be
borne by Tenant.

      5. Tenant shall not cause any unnecessary janitorial labor or services by
reason of Tenant's carelessness or indifference in the preservation of good
order and cleanliness.

      6. Tenant shall not install or operate any refrigerating, heating or air
conditioning apparatus, or carry on any mechanical business without the prior
written consent of Landlord; use the Premises for housing, lodging or sleeping
purposes; or permit preparation or warming of food in the Premises (warming of
coffee and individual meals with employees and guests excepted). Tenant shall
not occupy or use the Premises or permit the Premises to be occupied or used for
any purpose, act or thing which is in violation of any Governmental Requirement
or which may be dangerous to persons or property.

      7. Tenant shall not bring upon, use or keep in the Premises or the Project
any kerosene, gasoline or inflammable or combustible fluid or material, or any
other articles deemed hazardous to persons or property, or use any method of
heating or air conditioning other than that supplied by Landlord.

      8. Landlord shall have sole power to direct electricians as to where and
how telephone and other wires are to be introduced. No boring or cutting for
wires is to be allowed without the consent of Landlord. The location of
telephones, call boxes and other office equipment affixed to the Premises shall
be subject to the approval of Landlord.

      9. No additional locks shall be placed upon any doors, windows or transoms
in or to the Premises. Tenant shall not change existing locks or the mechanism
thereof. Upon termination of the lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all
keys and passes for offices, rooms, parking lot and toilet rooms which shall
have been furnished Tenant.

      In the event of the loss of keys so furnished, Tenant shall pay Landlord
therefor. Tenant shall not make, or cause to be made, any such keys and shall
order all such keys solely from Landlord and shall pay Landlord for any keys in
addition to the two sets of keys originally furnished by Landlord for each lock.

      10. Tenant shall not install linoleum, tile, carpet or other floor
covering so that the same shall be affixed to the floor of the Premises in any
manner except as approved by Landlord.

      11. No furniture, packages, supplies, equipment or merchandise will be
received in the Project or carried up or down in the freight elevator, except
between such hours and in such freight elevator as shall be designated by
Landlord. Tenant shall not take or permit to be taken in or out of other
entrances of the Building, or take or permit on other elevators, any item
normally taken in or out through the trucking concourse or service doors or in
or on freight elevators.

      12. Tenant shall cause all doors to the Premises to be closed and securely
locked and shall turn off all utilities, lights and machines before leaving the
Project at the end of the day.

      13. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not use
the name of the Project or any picture of the Project in connection with, or in
promoting or advertising the business of, Tenant, except Tenant may use the

Dear Jim:

            I refer to the agreement between you and Mercator Software Inc (the
"Company") dated August 21, 2000 (the "Agreement"). The following is added to
that Agreement.

      The Board of Directors has asked you to assume the duties of Chief
Executive Officer of the Company ("CEO") on a full time basis and you have
agreed to assume these duties until a new CEO is selected and the transition to
that person is completed. The Company and you have also agreed that in addition
to the usual duties and powers of CEO that you shall also recruit and present to
the Board of Directors a candidate for CEO.

      The Company grants to you, effective as of the date hereof and in a form
of grant agreement identical to those used in the Agreement, options to acquire
One Hundred and Fifty Thousand (150,000) shares of the Company's common stock at
the closing price of such common stock on the date of hereof. Except as
expressly set forth herein the terms shall be as set forth in the Stock Option
Grant letter and as set forth in the Agreement. Such shares shall vest as
follows: (i) Fifty Thousand (50,000) options shall be vested and immediately
exercisable as of the date hereof; (ii) Fifty Thousand (50,000) options shall be
vested and exercisable as of the date the candidate for CEO is employed by the
Company and (iii) Fifty Thousand (50,000) options shall be vested and
exercisable as of the date the transition to the new CEO is complete. All three
vesting events will occur no later than six (6) months from the date hereof.

      Until the transition to the new CEO is complete, you will continue to
perform the duties of CEO. It is expected that as part of the transition to the
new CEO, you and that person will work out a time table for transition which
will provide for transition to the new CEO in no more than six (6) months from
the date of employment of such person. At the completion of such a transition or
no more than six (6) months from the date at the employment of the new CEO, you
shall continue employment under the existing terms of the Agreement. Except as
set forth herein, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
