be waived for the number of days that the Completion Date is delayed beyond
the Scheduled Completion Date due to Landlord's Delays, (b) the Term shall be
extended for the number of days that the Completion Date is delayed beyond
the Scheduled Completion Date due to Landlord's Delays (and the Commencement
Date and/or 8th Floor Commencement Date will be deemed to have been delayed
by a like number of days), (c) Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or
be liable for damages therefor (except as hereinafter provided), and (d)
Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises when Landlord tenders
possession thereof to Tenant. If the Completion Date shall not have occurred
by the date that is thirty-four (34) weeks after commencement of construction
of the Work, as such date may be extended by Tenant's Delays or Force
Majeure, Tenant shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease by
written notice to Landlord given at any time prior to the Completion Date.

                  Tenant may elect, in its sole discretion, to occupy the 2nd
floor (Suite 200) of the Premises (the "2ND FLOOR SPACE") prior to the
scheduled Commencement Date, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i) the 2nd Floor Space shall be Substantially Complete, (ii) the Term of the
Lease shall be deemed to commence with respect to the 2nd Floor Space (but
not the balance of the Premises) on the date of occupancy of the 2nd Floor
Space by Tenant, and (iii) Tenant's use and occupancy of the 2nd Floor Space
shall be upon and subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of this
Lease, except that (x) the Term of the Lease as to the 2nd Floor Space only
shall be extended by the number of days prior to the Commencement Date that
Tenant occupied the 2nd Floor Space (so as to be coterminous with the Term
for the remainder of the Premises), and (y) Tenant shall have no obligation
to pay Landlord Basic Rental on the 2nd Floor Space prior to the Commencement
Date, provided that to the extent Tenant occupies the 2nd Floor Space prior
to April 1, 2000, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in advance Basic Rental on the
2nd Floor Space for the number of days prior to April 1, 2000 that Tenant
will occupy the 2nd Floor Space at an annual rate of $22.00 per rentable
square foot.

                  Tenant may elect, in its sole discretion, to occupy the 8th
floor (Suite 800) of the Premises (the "8TH FLOOR SPACE") prior to the
scheduled 8th Floor Commencement Date, subject to the following terms and
conditions: (i) the 8th Floor Space shall be Substantially Complete, (ii) the
Term of the Lease shall be deemed to commence with respect to the 8th Floor
Space (but not the balance of the Premises) on the date of occupancy of the
8th Floor Space by Tenant and shall be coterminous with the Term for the
remainder of the Premises, and (iii) Tenant's use and occupancy of the 8th
Floor Space shall be upon and subject in all respects to the terms and
conditions of this Lease; provided that Tenant's obligation to pay to
Landlord Basic Rental on the 8th Floor Space at an annual rate of $22.00 per
rentable square foot shall in any event, regardless of early occupancy,
commence on October 1, 2000.

                  By occupying the Premises (or the 2nd Floor Space or the
8th Floor Space, as the case may be), Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted
the Premises (or the 2nd Floor Space or the 8th Floor Space, as the case may
be) in their condition as of the date of such occupancy, subject to the
performance of punch-list items that remain to be performed by Landlord, if
any. Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after
Landlord has requested same, a letter confirming (1) the Commencement Date
(or the 2nd Floor Space Commencement Date and/or the 8th Floor Commencement
Date, as the case may be), (2) that Tenant has accepted the Premises (or the
2nd Floor Space or the 8th Floor Space, as the case may be), and (3) that
Landlord has performed all of its obligations with respect to the Premises
(or the 2nd Floor Space or the 8th Floor Space, as the case may be), except
for punch-list items specified in such letter. If the Commencement Date
and/or the 8th Floor Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar
month, then the Term shall be extended by the time between the Commencement
Date and/or the 8th Floor Commencement Date, as the case may be, and the
first day of the next month.

         4. RENT.

                  (a) PAYMENT. Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord the Basic
Rental and all additional sums to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this
Lease, including the amounts set forth in EXHIBIT C, without deduction or set
off, at Landlord's Address (or such other address as Landlord may from time
to time designate in writing to Tenant). Basic Rental, adjusted as herein
provided, shall be payable monthly in advance. Monthly installments of Basic
Rental shall be due on the first day of each calendar month during the Term
(provided that the monthly

                                       1
<PAGE>

installments of Basic Rental prior to October 1, 2000 is $0.00, as set forth
in the Basic Lease Information, except as otherwise provided with respect to
the early occupancy of the 2nd Floor Space). Basic Rental for any fractional
month at the beginning of the Term shall be prorated based on 1/365 of the
current annual Basic Rental for each day of the partial month this Lease is
in effect, and shall be due on the Commencement Date.

                  (b) CONSUMER PRICE INDEX INCREASES TO BASIC RENTAL.
[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

                  (c) ELECTRICAL COSTS. Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
amount equal to the product of (1) the actual cost of all electricity used by
the Building ("ELECTRICAL COSTS"), multiplied by (2) Tenant's Proportionate
Share. Such amount shall be payable monthly based on Landlord's estimate of
the amount due for each month, and shall be due on the Commencement Date and
on the first day of each calendar month thereafter unless Landlord has
theretofore furnished Tenant with information indicating the amount due, in
which event such amount shall be due within thirty (30) days after Landlord
has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor.

                  (d) ANNUAL COST STATEMENT. By April 1 of each calendar
year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant
a statement of Landlord's actual Electrical Costs and Basic Cost (the "ANNUAL
COST STATEMENT") for the previous year adjusted as provided in Section 4.(e)
and in Paragraph 4 of EXHIBIT D. If the Annual Cost Statement reveals that
Tenant paid more for Electrical Costs than Tenant's Proportionate Share of
Electrical Costs in the year for which such statement was prepared, then
Landlord shall reimburse or credit Tenant for such excess within thirty (30)
days after delivery of the Annual Cost Statement in question; likewise, if
Tenant paid less than Tenant's Proportionate Share of Electrical Costs, then
Tenant shall pay Landlord such deficiency within thirty (30) days after
delivery of the Annual Cost Statement in question.

                  (e) ADJUSTMENTS TO ELECTRICAL COSTS. With respect to any
calendar year or partial calendar year in which the Building is not occupied
to the extent of ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area thereof, the
Electrical Costs for such period shall, for the purposes hereof, be increased
to the amount which would have been incurred had the Building been occupied
to the extent of ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area thereof;
provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of Electrical Costs
charged to all tenants in the Building exceed 100% of the actual Electrical
Costs incurred by Landlord for the period in question.

                  (f) INSPECTION RIGHT. Tenant may, after giving Landlord
30-days' prior written notice thereof, inspect or have an independent firm of
certified public accountants audit Landlord's records relating to Electrical
Costs and Basic Cost (defined in EXHIBIT C) for any periods of time within
the two-year period before the date of the audit or inspection; however, no
audit or inspection shall extend to periods of time before the Commencement
Date. Tenant's audit or inspection shall be conducted only during business
hours reasonably designated by Landlord. Tenant shall pay the cost of such
audit or inspection, unless the Annual Cost Statement for the time period in
question is determined to be in error by more than five percent (5%), in
which case Landlord shall pay the audit cost. Tenant may not conduct an
inspection or have an audit performed more than once during any calendar
year. If such inspection or audit reveals that an error was made in the
Electrical Costs or Basic Cost previously charged to Tenant, then Landlord
shall refund to Tenant any overpayment of any such costs, or Tenant shall pay
to Landlord any underpayment of any such costs, as the case may be, within
thirty (30) days after notification thereof. Tenant shall maintain the
results of each such audit and inspection confidential and shall not be
permitted to use any third party other than an independent firm of certified
public accountants to perform such audit and inspection unless such third
party or firm is reasonably acceptable to Landlord and agrees with Landlord
in writing to maintain the results of such audit or inspection confidential.

         5. DELINQUENT PAYMENT; HANDLING CHARGES. All payments required of
Tenant or Landlord hereunder shall bear interest from the date due until paid
at the maximum lawful rate. Alternatively, Landlord may charge Tenant a fee
equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent payment to reimburse Landlord
for its cost and inconvenience incurred as a consequence of Tenant's
delinquency. Landlord agrees to waive the default interest and late charges
for late payments hereunder once during any consecutive 12-month period
during the Term, provided such late payment is paid in full within ten (10)
days after receipt of written notice of delinquency. In no event, however,
shall the charges permitted under this Section 5 or elsewhere in this Lease,
to the extent the same are considered to be interest under applicable law,
exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest.

         6. SECURITY DEPOSIT. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

         7. LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a) SERVICES. Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to
furnish to Tenant (1) water (hot and cold) at those points of supply provided
for general use of tenants of the Building; (2) heated and refrigerated air
conditioning as appropriate, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, and 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Holidays
excepted in each case ("CUSTOMARY BUSINESS HOURS"), at such temperatures and
in such amounts as are set forth in EXHIBIT Q attached hereto; (3) janitorial
service to the Premises on weekdays other than Holidays for Building-standard
installations (Landlord reserves the right to bill Tenant separately for
extra janitorial service required for non-standard installations) and window
washing in accordance with the standards set forth in EXHIBIT R attached
hereto; (4) five (5) elevators, including a freight elevator, for ingress and
egress to the floor on which the Premises are located, in common with other
tenants, provided that Landlord may reasonably limit the number of elevators
to be in operation at times other than during Customary Business Hours and on
Holidays; (5) replacement of Building-standard light bulbs and fluorescent
tubes, provided that Landlord's standard charge for such bulbs and tubes
shall be paid by Tenant; (6) electrical current of up to eight (8) watts per
rentable square foot demand load for lighting and convenience outlets to
operate typewriters, personal computers and other machines of similar low
electrical consumption (the "ELECTRICAL STANDARD"); and (7) on-site security
equipment and personnel for the Building to limit access to the Building
other than during Customary Business Hours in accordance with the Security
Specifications attached hereto as EXHIBIT M. Landlord shall maintain the
common areas of the Building in reasonably good order and condition, except
for damage caused by Tenant, or its employees, agents or invitees. If Tenant
desires any of the services specified in this Section 7.(a) at any time other
than times herein designated, such

                                       2
<PAGE>

services shall be supplied to Tenant upon the written request of Tenant
delivered to Landlord before 3:00 p.m. on the business day preceding such
extra usage, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual incremental
increased cost of such services within ten (10) days after Landlord has
delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor. As used herein, "HOLIDAYS" means
days which are New York Stock Exchange holidays.

                  (b) EXCESS UTILITY USE. Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to furnish electrical current for computers, electronic data
processing equipment, special lighting, Liebert units, or other equipment
whose electrical energy consumption exceeds the Electrical Standard through
the then-existing feeders and risers serving the Building and the Premises,
and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of such service within thirty (30)
days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor. Landlord may
determine the amount of such additional consumption and potential consumption
by either or both: (1) a survey of standard or average tenant usage of
electricity in the Building performed by a reputable consultant selected by
Landlord and paid for by Tenant; or (2) a separate meter in the Premises
installed, maintained, and read by Landlord, at Tenant's expense. Tenant
shall not install any electrical equipment requiring special wiring or
requiring voltage in excess of the Electrical Standard unless approved in
advance by Landlord. The use of electricity in the Premises shall not exceed
the capacity of existing feeders and risers to or wiring in the Premises. Any
risers or wiring required to meet Tenant's excess electrical requirements
shall, upon Tenant's written request, be installed by Landlord, at Tenant's
cost, if, in Landlord's sole and absolute judgment, the same are necessary
and shall not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or the
Premises, cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition, entail
excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs, or expenses, or interfere
with or disturb other tenants of the Building. If Tenant uses machines or
equipment in the Premises which affect the temperature otherwise maintained
by the air conditioning system or otherwise overload any utility, Landlord
may install supplemental air conditioning units or other supplemental
equipment in the Premises, and the cost thereof, including the cost of
installation, operation, use, and maintenance, shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an
invoice therefor. Landlord agrees that Tenant may elect to install
supplemental HVAC equipment for the Premises (i) in connection with the
performance of the Work, in accordance with and subject to the terms and
conditions, and the approval rights of Landlord, set forth in EXHIBIT D and
the other provisions of this Lease; or (ii) as permitted under Section 8.(a);
provided that all such supplemental HVAC equipment shall be operated and
maintained by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and shall be
separately metered for electrical and chilled water consumption, and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the actual cost for such electrical and chilled water
consumption within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an
invoice therefor.

                  (c) GOVERNMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS. Landlord's
obligation to furnish services under Section 7.(a) shall be subject to the
rules and regulations of the supplier of such services and governmental rules
and regulations.

                  (d) RESTORATION OF SERVICES; ABATEMENT. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to restore any service that becomes unavailable; however,
such unavailability shall not render Landlord liable for any damages caused
thereby, be a constructive eviction of Tenant, constitute a breach of any
implied warranty, or, except as provided in the remainder of this paragraph,
entitle Tenant to any abatement of Tenant's obligations hereunder. If there
is a failure to provide electricity, chilled air, water and/or sewer service
to the Premises which makes a material portion of the Premises Untenantable
(as hereinafter defined), then Landlord shall have three (3) business days
within which to provide such interim services as are necessary to remedy the
problem. If Landlord fails to remedy such problem within three (3) business
days, then Tenant may undertake to provide such interim services for itself
by temporary generators, temporary chillers, port-o-lets and/or bottled
water, and Landlord shall cooperate in the provision of temporary services;
provided that Tenant may not assume control of repairs necessary to provide a
long-term repair of the problem, and that Tenant may abate the payment of
Basic Rental for the period of time during which the Premises are
Untenantable if the failure or interruption of services is not due to the
failure or interruption of services by a public or other third party utility
provider. Also, Landlord agrees to use diligent efforts to restore the
delivery of such services or to cause the utility company(ies) to restore
such service(s). Landlord will reimburse Tenant for Tenant's reasonable costs
incurred in supplying and/or operating temporary generators, temporary
chillers, port-o-lets and/or bottled water for the Premises if the failure or
interruption of services is not due to the failure or interruption of
services by a public utility or other third party utility provider. The term
"UNTENANTABLE" shall mean the condition whereby Tenant's use or enjoyment of
the Premises or such portion thereof is disrupted to the degree that Tenant's
employees cannot reasonably use such space for the uses permitted in this
Lease.

         8. IMPROVEMENTS; ALTERATIONS; REPAIRS; MAINTENANCE.

                  (a) IMPROVEMENTS; ALTERATIONS. Improvements to the Premises
shall be installed at the expense of Tenant only in accordance with plans and
specifications which have been previously submitted to and approved in
writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed except to the extent that the subject improvements are
subject to approval in Landlord's sole discretion as hereinafter set forth,
in which event Landlord may withhold approval of such plans and
specifications in its sole discretion. After the initial Tenant improvements
are made, no alterations or physical additions in or to the Premises may be
made without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that
Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion to any
alteration or addition (or plans or specifications therefor) that (i) would
affect the Building's structure, or (ii) would affect the Building's HVAC,
plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems, except that Permitted HVAC/MEP
Alterations shall only be subject to Landlord's reasonable approval. As used
herein, "PERMITTED HVAC/MEP ALTERATIONS" means (x) any such alterations or
additions (or such plans and specifications) that are limited to changes in
those portions of the HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, or electrical systems that
are located within the Premises and that are limited in function to the
distribution of air, water and electricity within the Premises which changes
cannot reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on such portions of
the Building systems not located within the Premises or on the delivery of
air, water and electricity to other portions of the Building; and (y) the
installation of supplemental HVAC equipment for the Premises which Tenant
would otherwise have been permitted to install as part of the Work pursuant
to Section 7.(b), provided that such installation shall be subject to the
approval rights of Landlord under, and be performed in accordance with the
terms and provisions of, Section 26.(c), the provisions of EXHIBIT D which
would have been

                                       3
<PAGE>

applicable thereto if such supplemental HVAC equipment had been installed in
connection with the performance of the Work (including, without limitation,
Paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 thereof), and the other provisions of this Lease.
Tenant shall not paint or install lighting or decorations, signs, window or
door lettering, or advertising media of any type on or about the Premises
without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; however, Landlord may withhold
its consent in its sole and absolute discretion to any such painting or
installation which would affect the appearance of the exterior of the
Building or of any common areas or elevator lobby areas of the Building. All
alterations, additions, or improvements (whether temporary or permanent in
character, and including without limitation all air-conditioning equipment
and all other equipment that is in any manner connected to the Building's
plumbing system) made in or upon the Premises, either by Landlord or Tenant,
shall be Landlord's property at the end of the Term and shall remain on the
Premises without compensation to Tenant, except unattached trade fixtures,
furniture and personal property which Tenant is entitled to remove pursuant
to Section 21. Approval by Landlord of any of Tenant's drawings and plans and
specifications prepared in connection with any improvements in the Premises
shall not constitute a representation or warranty of Landlord as to the
adequacy or sufficiency of such drawings, plans and specifications, or the
improvements to which they relate, for any use, purpose, or condition, but
such approval shall merely be the consent of Landlord as required hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, as between Landlord
and Tenant, (1) Tenant shall bear the risk of complying with Title III of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Texas Elimination of
Architectural Barriers Act, and all rules, regulations, and guidelines
promulgated under either of such acts, as they may be amended from time to
time (the "DISABILITIES ACTS"), in the Premises, and (2) Landlord shall bear
the risk of complying with the Disabilities Acts in the common areas of the
Building, other than compliance that is necessitated by the use of the
Premises for other than the Permitted Use (which risk and responsibility
shall be borne by Tenant).

                  (b) REPAIRS; MAINTENANCE. Tenant shall maintain the
Premises in a clean, safe, operable, attractive condition, and shall not
permit or allow to remain any waste or damage to any portion of the Premises.
Tenant shall repair or replace, subject to Landlord's direction and
supervision, any damage to the Building caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents,
contractors, or invitees. If Tenant fails to make such repairs or
replacements within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of such damage,
then Landlord may make the same at Tenant's cost. In lieu of having Tenant
repair any such damage outside of the Premises, Landlord may repair such
damage at Tenant's cost. The cost of any repair or replacement work performed
by Landlord under this Section 8 shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within
ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor.

                  (c) PERFORMANCE OF WORK. All work described in this Section
8 shall be performed only by Landlord or by contractors and subcontractors
reasonably approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall cause all
contractors and subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance coverage
against such risks, in such amounts, and with such companies as Landlord may
reasonably require, and to procure payment and performance bonds reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord covering the cost of the work. All such work shall
be performed in accordance with all legal requirements and in a good and
workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Premises, the primary structure or
structural qualities of the Building, or plumbing, electrical lines, or other
utility transmission facility. All such work which may affect the HVAC,
electrical system, or plumbing (including Permitted HVAC/MEP Alterations)
must be approved by the Building's engineer of record.

                  (d) MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant shall not permit any
mechanic's liens to be filed against the Premises or the Building for any
work performed, materials furnished, or obligation incurred by or at the
request of Tenant. If such a lien is filed, then Tenant shall, within ten
days after Landlord has delivered notice of the filing to Tenant, either pay
the amount of the lien or diligently contest such lien and deliver to
Landlord a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If
Tenant fails to timely take either such action, then Landlord may pay the
lien claim without inquiry as to the validity thereof, and any amounts so
paid, including expenses and interest, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
within ten (10) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice
therefor.

         9. USE. Tenant shall continuously occupy and use the Premises only
for the Permitted Use and shall comply with all laws, orders, rules, and
regulations relating to the use, condition, and occupancy of the Premises.
The Premises shall not be used for any use which is disreputable or creates
extraordinary fire hazards or results in an increased rate of insurance on
the Building or its contents or the storage of any hazardous materials or
substances. If, because of Tenant's acts, the rate of insurance on the
Building or its contents increases, then such acts shall be an Event of
Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such increase on demand,
and acceptance of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of any of
Landlord's other rights. Tenant shall conduct its business and control its
agents, employees, and invitees in such a manner as not to create any
nuisance or interfere with other tenants or Landlord in its management of the
Building.

         10. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

                  (a) TRANSFERS; CONSENT. Except for Permitted Transfers
(defined below), Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of
Landlord (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, except as hereinafter provided), (1) assign, transfer, or encumber
this Lease or any estate or interest herein, whether directly or by operation
of law, (2) permit any entity other than a Permitted Transferee to become
Tenant hereunder by merger, consolidation, or other reorganization, (3) if
Tenant is an entity other than a corporation whose stock is publicly traded,
permit the transfer of an ownership interest in Tenant so as to result in a
change in the current control of Tenant, (4) sublet any portion of the
Premises, (5) grant any license, concession, or other right of occupancy of
any portion of the Premises, or (6) permit the use of the Premises by any
parties other than Tenant (any of the events listed in Sections 10.(a)(1)
through 10.(a)(6) being a "TRANSFER"). Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold its consent to any assignment or subletting of the Premises to a
party which (A) has a good credit standing and may reasonably be expected to
fulfill the obligations of Tenant hereunder, (B) has a good reputation in the
business community, and (C) will use the Premises for the purposes herein
stated and will not use the Premises in any manner that would conflict with
any exclusive use agreement or other similar agreement entered into by
Landlord with any other tenant of the Building. If Tenant requests Landlord's
consent to a Transfer, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written
description of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, copies of
the proposed documentation, and the following information about the proposed
transferee: name and address;

                                  4
<PAGE>

reasonably satisfactory information about its business and business history;
its proposed use of the Premises; financial and other credit information; and
general references sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed
transferee's creditworthiness and character. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for its reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with considering
any request for its consent to a Transfer. If Landlord consents to a proposed
Transfer, then the proposed transferee shall deliver to Landlord a written
agreement whereby it expressly assumes the Tenant's obligations hereunder;
however, any transferee of less than all of the space in the Premises shall
be liable only for obligations under this Lease that are properly allocable
to the space subject to the Transfer, and only to the extent of the rent it
has agreed to pay Tenant therefor. Landlord's consent to a Transfer shall not
release Tenant from performing its obligations under this Lease, but rather
Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable therefor.
Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not waive Landlord's rights as to
any subsequent Transfers. If an Event of Default occurs while the Premises or
any part thereof are subject to a Transfer, then Landlord, in addition to its
other remedies, may collect directly from such transferee all rents becoming
due to Tenant and apply such rents against Rent. Tenant authorizes its
transferees to make payments of rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of
notice from Landlord to do so (and Landlord agrees to provide a copy of any
such notice to Tenant).

                  (b) CANCELLATION. Within thirty (30) days after submission
of Tenant's written request for Landlord's consent to a Transfer other than
to a Permitted Transferee, Landlord may elect to cancel this Lease as to the
portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned as of the date the
proposed Transfer was to be effective; provided, however, that the foregoing
cancellation right shall be inapplicable to any sublease which (i) is for a
term of not greater than forty-eight (48) months, and (ii) when aggregated
with all other then outstanding subleases of Tenant, does not result in more
that 60,000 rentable square feet then being subleased by Tenant (any such
subleases meeting the foregoing criteria in effect from time to time being
herein collectively called "SHORT-TERM SUBLEASES"). If Landlord cancels this
Lease as to any portion of the Premises, then this Lease shall terminate as
to such portion of the Premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent
accrued through the cancellation date relating to the portion of the Premises
covered by the proposed Transfer. Thereafter, Landlord may lease such portion
of the Premises to the prospective transferee (or to any other person)
without liability to Tenant.

                  (c) ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
immediately upon receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%) of all compensation
received by Tenant for a Transfer that exceeds (i) the Basic Rental and
Tenant's share of Electrical Costs and Excess allocable to the portion of the
Premises covered thereby, and (ii) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs
incurred by Tenant and Landlord in connection with such Transfer.

                  (d) PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant may Transfer all or part of its interest in this Lease or all or part
of the Premises to the following types of entities (a "PERMITTED TRANSFEREE")
without the written consent of Landlord (a "PERMITTED TRANSFER"), provided
that the conditions set forth below are satisfied:

                           (1) any person or entity who or which controls, is
         controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant;

                           (2) any corporation in which or with which Tenant, or
         its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in
         accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and
         consolidation of corporations, so long as (A) Tenant's obligations
         hereunder are assumed by the corporation surviving such merger or
         created by such consolidation; and (B) the Tangible Net Worth of the
         surviving or created corporation is not less than the Tangible Net
         Worth of Tenant as of the date hereof; or

                           (3) any corporation acquiring all or substantially
         all of Tenant's assets if such corporation's Tangible Net Worth after
         such acquisition is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant as
         of the date hereof.

Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any such Permitted Transfer. As a
condition precedent to any Permitted Transfer, the proposed Permitted
Transferee must deliver to Landlord a written agreement whereby it expressly
assumes the Tenant's obligations hereunder; however, any transferee of less
than all of the space in the Premises shall be liable only for obligations
under this Lease that are properly allocable to the space subject to the
Transfer, and only to the extent of the rent it has agreed to pay Tenant
therefor. The occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord's
rights as to any subsequent Transfers. As used herein, "TANGIBLE NET WORTH"
shall mean the excess of total assets over total liabilities (in each case,
determined in accordance with GAAP) excluding from the determination of total
assets all assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP,
including, without limitation, goodwill, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade
names, copyrights, and franchises.

         11. INSURANCE; WAIVERS; SUBROGATION; INDEMNITY.

                  (a) INSURANCE. Tenant shall at its expense procure and
maintain throughout the Term the following insurance policies: (1)
comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts of not less than a
combined single limit of $5,000,000 (the "INITIAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
AMOUNT") or such other amounts as Landlord may from time to time reasonably
require, insuring Tenant, Landlord, and Landlord's property management
company against all liability for injury to or death of a person or persons
or damage to property arising from the use and occupancy of the Premises,
including contractual liability insurance coverage sufficient to cover
Tenant's indemnity obligations hereunder, (2) insurance covering the full
value of Tenant's property and improvements, and other property (including
property of others), in the Premises for Tenant's benefit only, and (3)
business interruption insurance for Tenant's benefit only. Tenant's insurance
shall provide primary coverage to Landlord when any policy issued to Landlord
provides duplicate or similar coverage, and in such circumstance Landlord's
policy will be excess over Tenant's policy. Tenant shall furnish certificates
of such insurance and such other evidence satisfactory to Landlord of the
maintenance of all insurance coverages required hereunder, and Tenant shall
obtain a written obligation on the part of each insurance company to notify
Landlord at least thirty (30) days before cancellation or a material change

                                       5
<PAGE>

of any such insurance. All such insurance policies shall be in form, and
issued by companies, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The term
"AFFILIATE" shall mean any person or entity which, directly or indirectly,
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the party in
question.

                  Landlord shall, at its expense, procure and maintain
throughout the Term of this Lease (i) comprehensive general liability
insurance with respect to all common areas of the Building in an amount not
less than that required of Tenant with respect to the Premises, including
contractual liability coverage sufficient to cover Landlord's indemnity
obligations hereunder, and (ii) all risk full replacement cost fire and
extended coverage insurance on the Building and all Improvements therein,
including boiler coverage and a rent loss endorsement for at least twelve
(12) months. Upon Tenant's written request, Landlord shall from time to time
furnish to Tenant certificates evidencing the maintenance of all insurance
coverages required hereunder.

                  (b) WAIVER OF NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS; NO SUBROGATION. Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord or
those claiming by, through, or under Tenant or Landlord (as the case may be)
for any injury to or death of any person or persons or the damage to or
theft, destruction, loss, or loss of use of any property or inconvenience (a
"LOSS") caused by casualty, theft, fire, third parties, or any other matter
(including Losses arising through repair or alteration of any part of the
Building, or failure to make repairs, or from any other cause), for matters
covered by the insurance required to be carried by the respective party
hereunder, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE NEGLIGENCE OF EITHER PARTY TO THIS LEASE
CAUSED SUCH LOSS IN WHOLE OR IN PART. Landlord and Tenant each waives any
claim it might have against the other for any damage to or theft,
destruction, loss, or loss of use of any property, to the extent the same is
insured against under any insurance policy that covers the Building, the
Premises, Landlord's or Tenant's fixtures, personal property, leasehold
improvements, or business, or is required to be insured against under the
terms hereof, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT OF THE OTHER
PARTY TO THIS LEASE CAUSED SUCH LOSS; HOWEVER, LANDLORD'S AND TENANT'S WAIVER
SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNTS OF UP TO $50,000.00 ON INSURANCE
POLICIES CARRIED BY LANDLORD OR TENANT (AS THE CASE MAY BE) OR APPLY TO ANY
COINSURANCE PENALTY WHICH LANDLORD OR TENANT (AS THE CASE MAY BE) MIGHT
SUSTAIN OF UP TO $50,000.00. Each party shall cause its insurance carrier to
endorse all applicable policies waiving the carrier's rights of recovery
under subrogation or otherwise against the other party.

                  (c) INDEMNITY. Subject to Section 11.(b), Tenant shall
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord and its agents from and against
all claims, demands, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) for any Loss arising from any
occurrence on the Premises or from Tenant's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease (other than a Loss arising from the negligence
of Landlord or its agents). Subject to Section 11.(b), Landlord shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and its agents from and against all
claims, demands, liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) for any Loss arising from any
occurrence in the Building's common areas (other than a Loss arising from the
negligence of Tenant or its agents). This indemnity provision shall survive
termination or expiration of this Lease.

        12. SUBORDINATION ATTORNMENT; NOTICE TO LANDLORD'S MORTGAGEE.

                  (a) SUBORDINATION. This Lease shall be subordinate to any
deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument (a "MORTGAGE") that now
or hereafter covers all or any part of the Premises (the mortgagee under any
Mortgage is referred to herein as "LANDLORD'S MORTGAGEE"). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Lease shall only be effective upon delivery of an
executed subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from each
current Landlord's Mortgagee in substantially the forms attached hereto as
EXHIBIT L The subordination of Tenant's rights hereunder to any future
Landlord's Mortgagee under this SECTION 12.(a) shall be conditioned upon such
future Landlord's Mortgagee's execution and delivery of a subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a form substantially similar to
either of those attached hereto as EXHIBIT L or otherwise reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant and such future Landlord's Mortgagee.

                  (b) ATTORNMENT. Tenant shall attorn to any party succeeding
to Landlord's interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure,
deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease, or
otherwise, upon such party's request, and shall execute such agreements
confirming such attornment as such party may reasonably request.

                  (c) NOTICE TO LANDLORD'S MORTGAGEE. Tenant shall not seek
to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of the Landlord
without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt
requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any Landlord's
Mortgagee whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such
Landlord's Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord's
obligations hereunder.

         13. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall comply with the rules and
regulations of the Building which are attached hereto as EXHIBIT B. Landlord
may, from time to time, change such rules and regulations for the safety,
care, or cleanliness of the Building and related facilities, provided that
such changes are applicable to all tenants of the Building and will not
unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises, and provided that
Tenant has received written notice thereof. Tenant shall be responsible for
the compliance with such rules and regulations by its employees, agents, and
invitees.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         14. CONDEMNATION.

                  (a) TAKING - LANDLORD'S AND TENANT'S RIGHTS. If any part of
the Building is taken by right of eminent domain or conveyed in lieu thereof
(a "TAKING"), and such Taking prevents Tenant from conducting its business in
the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately
before such Taking, then Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of
such Taking by giving written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days after
the Taking, and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If
Tenant does not terminate this Lease, then Rent shall be abated on a
reasonable basis as to that portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by
the Taking.

                  (b) TAKING - LANDLORD'S RIGHTS. If any material portion,
but less than all, of the Building becomes subject to a Taking, or if
Landlord is required to pay any of the proceeds received for a Taking to
Landlord's Mortgagee, then this Lease, at the option of Landlord, exercised
by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such Taking, shall
terminate and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If
Landlord and Tenant do not terminate this Lease, then this Lease will
continue, but if any portion of the Premises has been taken, Basic Rental
shall abate as provided in the last sentence of Section 14.(a).

                  (c) AWARD. If any Taking occurs, then Landlord shall
receive the entire award or other compensation for the Land, the Building,
and other improvements taken, and Tenant may separately pursue a claim
against the condemnor for the value of Tenant's personal property which
Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease, moving costs, loss of
business, and other claims it may have.

         15. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.

                  (a) REPAIR ESTIMATE. If the Premises or the Building are
damaged by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY"), Landlord shall, within
forty-five (45) days after such Casualty, deliver to Tenant a good faith
estimate (the "DAMAGE NOTICE") of the time needed to repair the damage caused
by such Casualty.

                  (b) LANDLORD'S AND TENANT'S RIGHTS. If a material portion
of the Premises or the Building is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is
prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably
comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord
estimates that the damage caused thereby cannot be repaired within two
hundred twenty-five (225) days after such Casualty, then Tenant may terminate
this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to
terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered
to Tenant. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease, then (subject to
Landlord's rights under Section 15.(c)) Landlord shall repair the Building or
the Premises, as the case may be, as provided below, and Rent for the portion
of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated on a
reasonable basis from the date of damage until the completion of the repair,
unless Tenant caused such damage, in which case, Tenant shall continue to pay
Rent without abatement.

                  (c) LANDLORD'S RIGHTS. If a Casualty damages a material
portion of the Building, and Landlord makes a good faith determination that
restoring the Premises would be uneconomical, or if Landlord is required to
pay any insurance proceeds arising out of the Casualty to Landlord's
Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of
its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has
been delivered to Tenant, and Basic Rental hereunder shall be abated as of
the date of the Casualty.

                  (d) REPAIR OBLIGATION. If neither party elects to terminate
this Lease following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, within a reasonable
time after such Casualty, commence to repair the Building and the Premises
and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building and
Premises to substantially the same condition as they existed immediately
before such Casualty; however, Landlord shall not be required to repair or
replace any part of the furniture, equipment, fixtures, and other
improvements which may have been placed by, or at the request of, Tenant or
other occupants in the Building or the Premises, and Landlord's obligation to
repair or restore the Building or Premises shall be limited to the extent of
the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the Casualty in
question.

         16. TAXES. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed
against personal property, furniture, or fixtures placed by Tenant in the
Premises. If any taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed
against Landlord or Landlord's property and Landlord elects to pay the same,
or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of
such personal property, furniture or fixtures and Landlord elects to pay the
taxes based on such increase, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand,
that part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder.

         17. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following occurrences shall
constitute an "EVENT OF DEFAULT":

                  (a) Tenant's failure to pay Rent, or any other sums due
from Tenant to Landlord under the Lease (or any other lease executed by
Tenant for space in the Building), when due provided that on the first such
failure to pay during any consecutive 12-month period during the Term, such
failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure
continues for ten (10) days after the date Landlord delivers to Tenant
written notice thereof;

                  (b) Tenant's failure to perform, comply with, or observe
any other agreement or obligation of Tenant under this Lease (or any other
lease executed by Tenant for space in the Building) and the continuance of
such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after the date Landlord
delivers to Tenant written notice thereof; however, if such failure cannot be
cured within such 30-day period and Tenant commences to cure such failure
within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to
completion, then such failure shall not be an Event of Default unless it is
not fully cured within an additional one hundred fifty (150) days after the
expiration of the 30-day period;

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  (c) the filing of a petition by or against Tenant (the term
"Tenant" shall include, for the purpose of this Section 17.(c), any guarantor
of the Tenant's obligations hereunder) (1) in any bankruptcy or other
insolvency proceeding; (2) seeking any relief under any state or federal
debtor relief law; (3) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for
all or substantially all of Tenant's property or for Tenant's interest in
this Lease; or (4) for the reorganization or modification of Tenant's capital
structure;

                  (d) [Intentionally Omitted]; and

                  (e) the admission by Tenant that it cannot meet its
obligations as they become due or the making by Tenant of an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors.

         18. REMEDIES. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition
to all other rights and remedies afforded Landlord hereunder or by law or
equity, take any of the following actions:

                  (a) Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice
thereof, in which event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (1) all Rent
accrued hereunder through the date of termination, (2) all amounts due under
Section 19.(a), and (3) an amount equal to (A) the total Rent that Tenant
would have been required to pay for the remainder of the Term discounted to
present value at a per annum rate equal to the "Prime Rate" as published on
the date this Lease is terminated by The Wall Street Journal, Southwest
Edition, in its listing of "Money Rates", minus (B) the then present fair
rental value of the Premises for such period, similarly discounted; or

                  (b) Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises
without terminating this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant, in
which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord (1) all Rent and other amounts
accrued hereunder to the date of termination of possession, (2) all amounts
due from time to time under Section 19.(a), and (3) all Rent and other sums
required hereunder to be paid by Tenant during the remainder of the Term,
diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting
the Premises during such period. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
relet the Premises on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole
discretion may determine (including a term different from the Term, rental
concessions, and alterations to, and improvement of, the Premises); however,
Landlord shall not be obligated to relet the Premises before leasing other
portions of the Building. Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall
Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord's failure
to relet the Premises or to collect rent due for such reletting. Tenant shall
not be entitled to the excess of any consideration obtained by reletting over
the Rent due hereunder. Reentry by Landlord in the Premises shall not affect
Tenant's obligations hereunder for the unexpired Term; rather, Landlord may,
from time to time, bring action against Tenant to collect amounts due by
Tenant, without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until the expiration of
the Term. Unless Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant expressly stating
that it has elected to terminate this Lease, all actions taken by Landlord to
exclude or dispossess Tenant of the Premises shall be deemed to be taken
under this Section 18.(b). If Landlord elects to proceed under this Section
18.(b), it may at any time elect to terminate this Lease under Section 18.(a).

         19. PAYMENT BY TENANT; NON-WAIVER.

                  (a) PAYMENT BY TENANT. Upon any Event of Default, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord all costs incurred by Landlord (including court costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), to the maximum extent permitted
under applicable law, in (1) obtaining possession of the Premises, (2)
removing and storing Tenant's property or the property of any other person in
the Premises, (3) if Tenant is dispossessed of the Premises and this Lease is
not terminated, reletting the Premises, including the portion of any
brokerage commissions and tenant finish costs incurred which are applicable
to the unexpired Term of this Lease, (4) performing Tenant's obligations
which Tenant failed to perform (other than the obligation to pay Rent, the
recovery of which by Landlord is governed by Section 18 hereof), and (5)
enforcing Landlord's rights and remedies arising out of the Event of Default.

                  (b) NO WAIVER. Landlord's acceptance of Rent following an
Event of Default shall not waive Landlord's rights regarding such Event of
Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms
contained herein shall waive Landlord's rights regarding any future violation
of such term or violation of any other term.

                  (c) LANDLORD DEFAULT. Upon any violation or breach by
Landlord of any of the terms and conditions contained herein (except as
otherwise expressly provided herein and subject to the terms and provisions
of Section 25(b)), which violation or breach is not cured within a reasonable
period of time after written notice thereof by Tenant to Landlord, Landlord
shall pay to Tenant all commercially reasonable costs incurred by Tenant as a
result thereof, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses.

         20. NO LANDLORD'S LIEN. Landlord hereby waives any contractual,
statutory or constitutional landlord's lien rights to which it might
otherwise be entitled in respect of the equipment, fixtures, furnishings,
inventory, chattels, accounts and other personal property of Tenant to secure
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

         21. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. No act by Landlord shall be deemed an
acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a
surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless the same is made in writing
and signed by Landlord. At the expiration or termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Premises with all improvements located
thereon in good repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear and
condemnation and fire or other casualty (as to which the provisions of
Section 11 shall govern) excepted, and shall deliver to Landlord all keys to
the Premises. Tenant may remove all unattached trade fixtures, furniture, and
personal property placed in the Premises by Tenant (but Tenant shall not
remove any such item which was paid for, in whole or in part, by Landlord).
Additionally, Tenant shall remove such alterations, additions, improvements,
trade fixtures, equipment, wiring, and furniture as Landlord may request;
provided that Tenant shall not be required to remove the alterations,
additions, trade fixtures and equipment installed as part of the Work or any
subsequent alterations, additions, trade fixtures or equipment installed in
accordance with this Lease unless otherwise specified

                                       8
<PAGE>

by Landlord in writing prior to the construction or installation thereof; and
provided further that Tenant shall repair all damage caused by such removal.
All items not so removed shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and
may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by
Landlord without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to account for
such items. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the end of the
Term.

         22. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises at the end
of the Term, then Tenant shall be a tenant at will and, in addition to all
other damages and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled for such holding
over, Tenant shall pay, in addition to the other Rent, a daily Basic Rental
equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the daily Basic Rental payable
during the last month of the Term.

         23. CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD. Provided that the exercise
of such rights does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's occupancy of the
Premises, Landlord shall have the following rights:

                  (a) to decorate and to make inspections, repairs,
alterations, additions, changes, or improvements, whether structural or
otherwise, in and about the Building, or any part thereof; for such purposes,
to enter upon the Premises and, during the continuance of any such work, to
temporarily close doors, entryways, public space, and corridors in the
Building; to interrupt or temporarily suspend Building services and
facilities; and to change the arrangement and location of entrances or
passageways, doors, and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, restrooms, or
other public parts of the Building;

                  (b) to take such reasonable measures as Landlord deems
advisable for the security of the Building and its occupants, including
without limitation searching all persons entering or leaving the Building;
evacuating the Building for cause, suspected cause, or for drill purposes;
temporarily denying access to the Building; and closing the Building after
Customary Business Hours and on Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays, subject,
however, to Tenant's right to enter the Building twenty-four (24) hours per
day, seven (7) days per week, under such reasonable regulations as Landlord
may prescribe from time to time which may include by way of example, but not
of limitation, that persons entering or leaving the Building, whether or not
during normal business hours, identify themselves to a security officer by
registration or otherwise and that such persons establish their right to
enter or leave the Building; and

                  (c) to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours and upon
reasonable notice to Tenant (which may be verbal) at any time during the Term
of the Lease to show the Premises to prospective purchasers and lenders and
during the final year of the initial Term (or, if Tenant shall timely and
validly exercise an extension option as provided in EXHIBIT F, during the
final year of the extended Lease Term) to show the Premises to prospective
tenants; provided that Tenant shall have the right to have a representative
present during such entry if Tenant so elects.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Tenant shall be entitled, during the Lease Term to designate a reasonable
portion (or portions) of the Premises as a "SECURED AREA" and to install door
locks or other access control systems as necessary to secure such Secured
Area(s), provided that Tenant gives Landlord prior written notice of Tenant's
designation of such Secured Area(s) and that such Secured Area(s) shall be
used by Tenant solely for the purposes permitted under this Lease. Tenant
hereby agrees and acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation to
perform janitorial services in such Secured Area(s) unless Tenant provides
Landlord a written request for same and provides Landlord with access to such
Secured Area(s) (by providing Landlord a key or other device, by scheduling
Landlord's entry with an escort or otherwise). If Tenant does not provide
Landlord with a key or other device to gain access to such Secured Area(s),
Landlord shall have the right to use reasonable force to gain access to such
Secured Area(s) in the case of emergency and Landlord shall have no liability
whatsoever to Tenant in connection therewith. Landlord and Tenant hereby
agree and acknowledge that, except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, Landlord shall enter such Secured Area(s) only upon one (1)
business days' prior notice to Tenant and only after providing Tenant with
the opportunity to have a representative of Tenant present as an escort.
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to
schedule any such entries into the Secured Area(s) by Landlord at times that
are mutually convenient to both Landlord and Tenant, taking into
consideration the nature of Tenant's operations in the Premises. Tenant
agrees that Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for
complying with all applicable laws regarding such Secured Area(s).

         24. SUBSTITUTION SPACE.

                  (a) From time to time during the Term, Landlord may
substitute for any portion of the Premises which is located on a floor in the
Building (other than the first floor) that is not wholly occupied by Tenant
and which partial floor leased by Tenant contains less than 15,000 rentable
square feet (the "REPLACED SPACE") other space that has an area at least
equal to and is of comparable quality to the Replaced Space and is located in
the Building (the "SUBSTITUTION SPACE").

                  (b) If Landlord exercises such right by giving Tenant
notice thereof ("SUBSTITUTION NOTICE") at least sixty (60) days before the
effective date of such substitution, then (1) the description of the Premises
shall be amended to reflect the inclusion of the Substitution Space; and (2)
all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the Substitution
Space except that if the Substitution Space contains more square footage than
the Replaced Space, then the Basic Rental then in effect shall be increased
proportionately (provided that such increase shall not exceed one hundred
five percent (105%) of the Basic Rental due for the Replaced Space) and shall
be subject to adjustment as herein provided. The effective date of such
substitution (the "SUBSTITUTION EFFECTIVE DATE") shall be the date specified
in the Substitution Notice or, if Landlord is required to perform tenant
finish work to the Substitution Space under Section 24.(c), then the date on
which Landlord substantially completes such tenant finish work. If Landlord
is delayed in performing the tenant finish work by Tenant's actions (either
by Tenant's change in the plans and specifications for such work or
otherwise), then the Substitution Effective Date shall not be extended and
Tenant shall pay Rent for the Substitution Space beginning on the date
specified in the Substitution Notice.

                                       9
<PAGE>

                  (c) Tenant may either accept possession of the Substitution
Space in its "as is" condition as of the Substitution Effective Date or
require Landlord to alter the Substitution Space in the same manner as the
Premises were altered or were to be altered. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
written notice of its election within ten (10) days after the Substitution
Notice has been delivered to Tenant. If Tenant fails to timely deliver notice
of its election or if an Event of Default then exists, then Tenant shall be
deemed to have elected to accept possession of the Substitution Space in its
"as is" condition.

                  (d) Tenant shall move from the Replaced Space into the
Substitution Space and shall surrender possession of the Replaced Space as
provided in Section 21 by the Substitution Effective Date. If Tenant occupies
the Replaced Space after the Substitution Effective Date, then Tenant's
occupancy of the Replaced Space shall be a tenancy at will (and, without
limiting all other rights and remedies available to Landlord, including
instituting a forcible detainer suit), Tenant shall pay Basic Rental for the
Replaced Space as provided in Section 22 and all other Rent due therefor
until such occupancy ends; such amounts shall be in addition to the Rent due
for the Substitution Space.

                  (e) If Landlord exercises its substitution right, then
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant's reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses for moving Tenant's furniture, equipment, supplies and telephone
equipment from the Replaced Space to the Substitution Space and for
reprinting Tenant's stationery of the same quality and quantity of Tenant's
stationery supply on hand immediately prior to Landlord's notice to Tenant of
the exercise of this relocation right.

         25. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) LANDLORD TRANSFER. Landlord may transfer, in whole or
in part, the Building and any of its rights under this Lease. If Landlord
assigns its rights and obligations under this Lease, then Landlord shall
thereby be released from any further obligations hereunder.

                  (b) LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. The liability of Landlord to
Tenant for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be
limited to Tenant's actual direct, but not consequential, damages therefor
and shall be recoverable from the interest of Landlord in the Building and
the Land, and Landlord shall not be personally liable for any deficiency.
This section shall not be deemed to limit or deny any remedies which Tenant
may have in the event of default by Landlord hereunder which do not involve
the personal liability of Landlord.

                  (c) FORCE MAJEURE. Other than for Tenant's monetary
obligations under this Lease and obligations which can be cured by the
payment of money (e.g., maintaining insurance), whenever a period of time is
herein prescribed for action to be taken by either party hereto, such party
shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the
computation for any such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots,
acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws,
regulations, or restrictions, or any other causes of any kind whatsoever
which are beyond the control of such party.

                  (d) BROKERAGE. Landlord and Tenant each warrant to the
other that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in connection with the
negotiation or execution of this Lease other than Trammell Crow Dallas/Fort
Worth and the Staubach Company. Tenant and Landlord shall each indemnify the
other against all costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, and other liability for
commissions or other compensation claimed by any broker or agent claiming the
same by, through, or under the indemnifying party. The commissions of the
Staubach Company shall be paid by Landlord as and when provided in the
commission agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT N.

                  (e) ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. From time to time, Tenant shall
furnish to any party designated by Landlord, within ten (10) days after
Landlord has made a request therefor, a certificate signed by Tenant
confirming and containing such factual certifications and representations as
to this Lease as Landlord may reasonably request.

by giving notice thereof to the other in conformity with this provision.

                  (g) SEPARABILITY. If any clause or provision of this Lease
is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, then the
remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby and in lieu of such
clause or provision, there shall be added as a part of this Lease a clause or
provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable
clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

                  (h) AMENDMENTS; AND BINDING EFFECT. This Lease may not be
amended except by instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. No
provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord
unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord, and no custom or
practice which may evolve between the parties in the administration of the
terms hereof shall waive or diminish the right of Landlord to insist upon the
performance by Tenant in strict accordance with the terms hereof. The terms
and conditions contained in this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto, and upon their respective successors in
interest and legal representatives, except as otherwise herein expressly
provided. This Lease is for the sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and,

beneficiary hereof.

                  (i) QUIET ENJOYMENT. Provided Tenant has performed all of
the terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, Tenant

                  (j) JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If there is more than one
Tenant, then the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and
several. If there is a guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder, then the
obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be the joint and several
obligations of Tenant and such guarantor, and Landlord need not first proceed
against Tenant before proceeding against such guarantor nor shall any such
guarantor be released from its guaranty for any reason whatsoever.

                  (k) CAPTIONS. The captions contained in this Lease are for

         26. SPECIAL PROVISIONS.

                  (a) BUILDING NAME; SIGNAGE. Landlord agrees that Landlord
shall re-name the Building "Inet Technologies Tower" (the "NAMING RIGHTS").
Tenant's Naming Rights are personal to Inet Technologies, Inc. and its
Permitted Transferees, may not be transferred to any entity other than a
Permitted Transferee (and then only at Tenant's sole cost and expense), and
shall terminate if (1) this Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises expires by its terms or is terminated, (2) Tenant's Signage Rights
terminate or are assigned or transferred other than to a Permitted Transferee
of Inet Technologies, Inc., or (3) during any renewal term of this Lease, if
Inet Technologies, Inc. and its affiliated entities are not the largest
tenant in the Building.

                  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right
to (i) erect and maintain two (2) illuminated exterior building signs, one of
which shall be located on the eleventh (11th) floor of the North elevation of
the Building, and one of which shall be located on the eleventh (11th) floor
of the South elevation of the Building, in specific locations to be agreed
upon by Landlord and Tenant (the "EXTERIOR SIGNAGE"); (ii) erect and maintain
an exterior monument sign on the West side of the Building in a location to
be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, subject to obtaining all required
consents and approvals from the City of Richardson with respect thereto (and
Landlord and Tenant agree to coordinate their respective efforts in obtaining
such consents and approvals (the "MONUMENT SIGNAGE"); and (iii) interior
signage in the elevator lobbies and on the entrance doors of all floors in
which Tenant is in occupancy in specific locations and sizes to be agreed
upon by Landlord and Tenant (the "INTERIOR SIGNAGE"). The Exterior Signage,
Monument Signage, and Interior Signage shall identify "Inet Technologies,
Inc." or a derivative thereof, may contain Tenant's corporate logo, shall be
subject in all respects to Landlord's prior written approval (which

                                       11
<PAGE>

shall not be unreasonably withheld), and shall comply in all respects with
all governmental rules and regulations. Tenant shall obtain and maintain all
required permits and licenses for the Exterior Signage and Monument Signage
and shall maintain such property and liability insurance as Landlord may
reasonably require with respect thereto. Tenant shall keep the Exterior
Signage, Monument Signage, and Interior Signage in good and first class
operating order and condition.

                  Tenant's rights to erect and maintain the Exterior Signage,
Monument Signage, and Interior Signage (the "SIGNAGE RIGHTS") are intended to
be personal to Inet Technologies, Inc. and its Permitted Transferees, may not
be assigned or transferred by Inet Technologies, Inc. except as hereinafter
expressly provided, and shall terminate if (x) this Lease or Tenant's right
to possession of the Premises expires by its terms or is terminated, or (y)
as a result of one or more assignments or subleases, neither Inet
Technologies, Inc. nor any one of its Permitted Transferees nor any one of
its other assignees or sublessees which have been approved by Landlord is the
largest occupant in the Building, or (z) during any renewal Term of this
Lease, if Inet Technologies, Inc. and its affiliates are not the largest
tenant in the Building. Upon termination of such Signage Rights as
hereinabove provided, Tenant shall remove the Exterior Signage, Monument
Signage, and Interior Signage and restore the Building surfaces where such
signage was affixed to the Building. The installation and removal of all such
signage shall be pursuant to plans, specifications and procedures approved
by, and under the supervision of, Landlord.

                  Landlord agrees that Inet Technologies, Inc. may elect, at
its option (but only in connection with a Transfer), by written notice to
Landlord, to assign and transfer the Signage Rights to, and only to, (A) a
Permitted Transferee, so long as such Permitted Transferee is (or upon
completion of the Transfer will be) the largest occupant in the Building,
which assignment and transfer of Signage Rights shall not be subject to
Landlord's consent or approval, or (B) any other assignee or sublessee under
a Transfer which has been approved by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.(a), so
long as such assignee or sublessee is (or upon completion of the Transfer
will be) the largest occupant in the Building, which assignment and transfer
of Signage Rights shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord
(in addition to, and independent of, any approval rights which Landlord may
have with respect to the Transfer in question), provided that Landlord agrees
not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to such
assignment and transfer of Signage Rights. Tenant expressly acknowledges and
agrees that the identity and nature of the person or entity in which or whom
the Signage Rights are vested may have a material adverse affect upon the
value, marketability and leasability of the Building and the office space
located therein, and that Landlord has only agreed to permit the assignment
and transfer of such Signage Rights with the express stipulation and
agreement of Tenant that Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably
withheld its consent to an assignment and transfer of Signage Rights
(regardless of whether Landlord has consented to the Transfer in question and
regardless of the financial strength of the proposed transferee) if the
proposed transferee of the Signage Rights is a governmental or
quasi-governmental agency or entity, a political, religious, special
interest, or advocacy organization, group, or entity, or is of a reputation
or engaged in a line or type of business which is notorious, disreputable or
controversial or which could reasonably be expected to be the subject of
public protests, picketing or other unfavorable publicity. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, any such permitted transfer of
Signage Rights shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense, all replacement
signage shall be subject to Landlord's approval rights and otherwise comply
with the requirements and conditions of this Section 26(a), and the Signage
Rights shall at all times be exclusively vested in a single person or entity
and shall name no more than one such person or entity at any given time. No
transferee or assignee of the Signage Rights other than a Permitted
Transferee of Inet Technologies, Inc. shall have the right to further assign
or transfer the Signage Rights in connection with any subsequent Transfer or
otherwise.

                  During the Term of this Lease, Landlord will not (i) grant
to other tenants in the Building the right to place any signage on the facade
of the Building (provided Landlord reserves the right to grant Monument
Signage to such other tenants); or (ii) name (or permit CCII to name) the
Building (or permit CCII to name), any office building constructed on the
Development Site, or the complex comprising the Building and such other
building after, or grant exterior signage rights on the Building or such
other building to, any person or entity whose primary business competes with
Tenant's primary business of telecommunications network software. If Tenant
leases one-half (1/2) or more of the rentable area in any office building
constructed by Landlord or CCII on the Development Site, then Tenant will
receive the same signage rights on such building as it is entitled to on the
Building pursuant to this Lease.

                  (b) EXCLUSIVITY. Tenant has designated the four companies
listed on EXHIBIT O attached hereto as its competitors (the "LISTED
COMPETITORS"). On or before January 1 of each year of the Term of this Lease,
Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord of the four (4) current
Listed Competitors of Tenant, as determined by Tenant in its sole discretion.
Landlord agrees that so long as Tenant occupies (or, prior to the
Commencement Date, leases) at least 150,000 rentable square feet under this
Lease, Landlord shall not lease any space in the Building to such current
Listed Competitors during the calendar year following delivery of such
notice. In addition, Landlord agrees that it will not lease ground floor
space in the Building to (i) a commercial bank or other entity for the
purpose of accepting deposits and offering retail banking services (other
than an Automated Teller Machine), or (ii) any other entity conducting retail
operations (other than a delicatessen and/or sundry store). Landlord further
agrees that during the Term of this Lease, it will not grant to any such
current Listed Competitors the right to erect or maintain exterior building
signs or exclusive monument signs.

                  (c) ROOF RIGHTS. Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense,
install on the roof of the Building (i) without any supplemental rental charge
by Landlord, two (2) satellite dishes OR two (2) antennae OR one (1) satellite
dish and one (1) antenna, plus related communications equipment, (ii) subject to
such supplemental rental charges by Landlord as are "market" charges to an
office tenant for the right to install and maintain telecommunications equipment
of the nature, number and size to be installed (but not to exceed $500.00 per
month), such satellite dishes, antennae and related communications equipment in
addition to those contemplated by clause (i) as Landlord shall reasonably
approve (the equipment described in clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively
called the "SATELLITE DISH"), and/or (iii) without any supplemental charge by
Landlord, supplemental HVAC equipment (the "SUPPLEMENTAL HVAC EQUIPMENT"),
subject to the approval by Landlord of the Satellite Dish and Supplemental HVAC
Equipment proposed to be installed by Tenant, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, in each case at a specific location or
locations designated by Landlord and approved by Tenant, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Before installing the Satellite Dish
and Supplemental HVAC Equipment, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for

                                       12

<PAGE>

its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed, plans and specifications which specify in detail the design,
location, size, technical specifications, and frequency of the Satellite Dish
and Supplemental HVAC Equipment and are sufficiently detailed to allow for
the installation of the Satellite Dish and Supplemental HVAC Equipment in a
good workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable laws and
regulations, including any restrictions applicable to the Building. Following
Landlord's approval of such plans and specifications, Tenant shall install in
a good workmanlike manner, maintain, and use the Satellite Dish and
Supplemental HVAC Equipment in accordance with all applicable laws and
regulations, and shall obtain all permits required for the installation and
operation thereof. At Landlord's option, Tenant shall screen the Satellite
Dish and Supplemental HVAC Equipment with a parapet wall or other screening
device complying with all applicable laws and in a manner reasonably
acceptable to Landlord. Tenant may only use the Satellite Dish in connection
with Tenant's business and may not allow any third party (other than an
affiliated party) to use such Satellite Dish, whether by sublease, license,
occupancy or otherwise, without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant
shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove the Satellite Dish and
Supplemental HVAC Equipment, exclusive of wiring and cabling, within ten (10)
business days after the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the
termination of Tenant's right to possess the Premises, (ii) the termination
of the Lease, or (iii) the expiration of the Term. If Tenant fails to do so,
Landlord may remove the Satellite Dish and Supplemental HVAC Equipment and
store or dispose of them in any manner Landlord deems appropriate without
liability to Tenant; Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred
by Landlord in connection therewith within thirty (30) days after Landlord's
request therefor. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Building caused by or
relating to the Satellite Dish and Supplemental HVAC Equipment, including
that which is caused by its installation, maintenance, use or removal, and
shall indemnify Landlord against any and all loss, costs and expense arising
from the installation, maintenance, use or removal of the satellite dish. All
work relating to the Satellite Dish and Supplemental HVAC shall, at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, be coordinated with Landlord's roofing contractor so
as not to affect any warranty for the Building's roof. Tenant shall install,
operate and maintain the Satellite Dish in such a manner so as not to
unreasonably interfere with any other satellite dish, antenna, or other
transmission facility on the Building's roof or in the Building.

                  (d) CALCULATION OF RENTABLE AREA. "RENTABLE AREA" and
"USABLE AREA" shall mean "Rentable Area" and "Usable Area" (as applicable)
calculated and defined in accordance with the Standard Method For Measuring
Floor Area in Office Buildings ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996 ("BOMA STANDARD");
provided, however, that for all purposes under this Lease, the multi-tenant
loss factor shall not be greater than 16.2% and the single-tenant loss factor
shall not be greater than 9.3%. Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost
and expense, within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, to have a
qualified architect or space planner reasonably approved by Landlord verify
the Rentable Area and/or Usable Area of the Premises and the Building in
accordance with the BOMA Standard; provided, however, that such determination
shall be subject to the reasonable review and approval of Landlord and its
designated consultants, surveyors, or engineers. If, as a result of such
verification (and approval by Landlord), it is determined that the Rentable
Area and/or Usable Area of the Premises are different than the amounts set
forth in the Basic Lease Information, all corresponding amounts set forth in
this Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant's Proportionate Share, the
amount of monthly Basic Rental, and the Allowance) shall be retroactively
adjusted and appropriate payments, if applicable, shall be made by Landlord
to Tenant or Tenant to Landlord (as applicable) within ten (10) days after
such determination and approval by Landlord. Both parties agree to execute a
commercially reasonable instrument in order to document such revised amounts.

                  (e) ELECTRIC UTILITY DEREGULATION. To the extent electric
utilities in the State of Texas have been deregulated so as to allow
competitive retail pricing of electrical power by multiple providers,
Landlord shall secure competitive bids from multiple qualified electrical
providers, promptly deliver copies of such bids to Tenant, and, in such
circumstances, take all reasonable steps to reduce Electrical Costs.

                  (f) ZONING VARIANCE. To the extent that any of the itemized
supplemental uses specified in the definition of Permitted Use hereunder are
not permitted by applicable zoning ordinances or use restrictions of the City
of Richardson, Texas, Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate in using their
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a special use permit or other
zoning as may be necessary to permit such specified supplemental uses.

                  (g) MUNICIPAL INCENTIVES. Landlord and Tenant have entered
into a Tax Abatement Agreement with the City of Richardson and agree to
diligently pursue a similar tax abatement agreement with the County of Dallas
and the Dallas County Hospital District (the "TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT",
whether one or more) pursuant to which such taxing authorities have agreed,
or may agree, in connection with or as a result of the lease of the Premises
to Tenant, to provide certain tax abatements to Tenant with respect to the
Taxable Value of the Tenant's Tangible Personal Property and to Landlord with
respect to the Taxable Value of the Land and the Building (all as described
and defined therein). Pursuant to the Tax Abatement Agreement, any and all
such tax abatements now or hereafter received by Landlord under the Tax
Abatement Agreement are to inure to Tenant's benefit during the Term of this
Lease. Accordingly, for so long as such tax abatement remains in effect (1)
the portion of the taxes on the Building and the Land which are abated under
the Tax Abatement Agreement and which would otherwise be included in Basic
Cost shall for purposes of this Lease be assumed to be included in the
Expense Stop and in Basic Cost, and (2) Tenant shall receive a
dollar-for-dollar reduction in Rent annually in an amount equal to the abated
taxes on the Building and the Land under the Tax Abatement Agreement.
Landlord and Tenant shall perform their respective obligations under the Tax
Abatement Agreement and otherwise cooperate with one another to ensure that
each party completes all requirements to obtain and maintain such tax
abatements including, without limitation, making such periodic fillings or
reports to such municipalities or political subdivisions as necessary to
maintain such tax abatements.

                  (h) CONSENTS. Any and all consents and approvals required
to be obtained by Tenant from Landlord or by Landlord from Tenant, under this
Lease shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as
otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease.

                  (i) HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees to
indemnify and hold the other party harmless of and from any and all claims,
liabilities, penalties, damages, expenses and judgments including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, caused by environmental contamination or
violation of

                                       13
<PAGE>

environmental laws resulting from the violating party's own acts or
omissions. No expenses incurred by Landlord in remediating any environmental
condition of the Land or Building not caused by Tenant shall be charged,
directly or indirectly, to Tenant. Landlord will be responsible for, and
shall have full control over, any remediation or removal of hazardous
materials on the Building or the Land, to the extent the same is required by
applicable law (subject to Tenant's and Landlord's indemnification
obligations set forth above). To Landlord's current actual knowledge, and
except as noted in environmental reports or other materials furnished to
Tenant, neither the Land nor the Building contains hazardous materials, other
than office, cleaning and maintenance supplies in commercially reasonable
amounts stored and used in compliance with applicable laws.

                  (j) OFFSET RIGHTS. If Landlord fails to pay (1) the initial
brokerage commission payable to the Staubach Company upon execution of this
Lease, or (2) the initial Construction Allowance payable under EXHIBIT D, in
each case when due (it being agreed that for such purposes such brokerage
commission or Construction Allowance, as the case may be, shall not be deemed
to be due if a good faith dispute exists between Landlord and Tenant as to
whether all conditions to the payment thereof have been satisfied), Tenant
shall have the right to offset the such brokerage commission or such
Construction Allowance, as applicable, against the Basic Rental next becoming
due under this Lease. Upon payment by Landlord of such initial brokerage
commission and/or such initial Construction Allowance, Tenant agrees to
execute an acknowledgment of payment of such amount(s) and a release of any
offset rights with respect thereto, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant.

                  (k) CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. This Lease is subject to, and
shall not be effective or enforceable until, approval of this Lease by
Tenant's board of directors. This Lease is further subject to, and shall not
be effective or enforceable until, approval of this Lease by Landlord's
Mortgagee.

                  (l) DELICATESSEN. Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to lease space on the first floor of the Building to a
tenant that will open a delicatessen in such space on or before September 1,
2000. It is anticipated that the delicatessen will be open from 7:00 a.m. to
2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, Holidays excluded, and will serve hot and
cold breakfast and lunch items. The delicatessen may also sell items
typically found in sundry shops. If, for any reason, a delicatessen shall not
open by such date or, after opening, shall cease to operate, then during any
time periods during the Term in which a delicatessen is not open and
operating for breakfast and lunch in the Building, Tenant shall have the
right to contract with third parties for the delivery of breakfast and/or
lunch items, as the case may be, to break rooms within the Premises solely
for the benefit of Tenant's employees. In no event shall the failure of such
delicatessen to open or remain open throughout the Term constitute an event
of default hereunder by Landlord; Tenant's sole right with respect thereto
shall be to arrange for a third-party contractor to deliver items to Tenant
as described above.

LANDLORD AND TENANT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT THE PREMISES
ARE SUITABLE FOR TENANT'S INTENDED COMMERCIAL PURPOSE, AND TENANT'S
OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT HEREUNDER IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE CONDITION OF THE
PREMISES OR THE PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND,
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, TENANT SHALL CONTINUE TO PAY
THE RENT, WITHOUT ABATEMENT, SETOFF, DEDUCTION, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY BREACH BY
LANDLORD OF ITS DUTIES OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

                                    EXHIBIT C

                           OPERATING EXPENSE ESCALATOR

         1. Tenant shall pay an amount (per each rentable square foot in the
Premises) equal to the excess ("EXCESS") from time to time of actual Basic
Cost per rentable square foot in the Building over the actual Basic Cost per
rentable square foot in the Building in calendar year 2000 (the "EXPENSE
STOP"). Landlord may collect such amount in a lump sum, to be due within
thirty (30) days after Landlord furnishes to Tenant the Annual Cost
Statement. Alternatively, Landlord may make a good faith estimate of the
Excess to be due by Tenant for any calendar year or part thereof during the
Term, and, unless Landlord delivers to Tenant a revision of the estimated
Excess, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on January 1, 2001 and on the first day
of each calendar month thereafter, an amount equal to the estimated Excess
for such calendar year or part thereof divided by the number of months in
such calendar year during the Term. Once during any calendar year, Landlord
may re-estimate the Excess to be due by Tenant for that calendar year and
deliver a copy of the re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly
installments of Excess payable by Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted in
accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the calendar year in
question, Tenant shall have paid all of the Excess as estimated by Landlord.
Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment
pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Exhibit when actual Basic Cost is available
for each calendar year.

         2. For the purposes of this Exhibit, the term "BASIC COST" shall
mean all expenses and disbursements of every kind (subject to the limitations
set forth below) which Landlord incurs, pays or becomes obligated to pay in
connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Building
(including the associated parking facilities), determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, including but
not limited to the following:

                  (a) Wages and salaries (including management fees) of all
employees engaged in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, and
security of the Building, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating
thereto;

                  (b) All supplies and materials used in the operation,
maintenance, repair, replacement, and security of the Building;

                  (c) Annual cost of all non-structural capital improvements
made to the Building which although capital in nature can reasonably be
expected to reduce the normal operating costs of the Building (but only to
the extent of actual savings), as well as all capital improvements made in
order to comply with any law or building code hereafter promulgated (or
hereafter amended) by any governmental authority (other than the Disabilities
Act), as amortized over the actual useful economic life of such improvements
as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on
a straight line basis;

                  (d) Cost of all utilities, other than the cost of utilities
actually reimbursed to Landlord by the Building's tenants (including Tenant
under Section 7.(b) of this Lease);

                  (e) Cost of any insurance or insurance related expense
applicable to the Building and Landlord's personal property used in
connection therewith;

                  (f) Subject to the abatements set forth in Section 26(g) of
this Lease, all taxes and assessments and governmental charges whether
federal, state, county or municipal, and whether they be by taxing or
management districts or authorities presently taxing or by others,
subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments
attributable to the Building (or its operation), and the grounds, parking
areas, driveways, and alleys around the Building, excluding, however, federal
and state taxes on income (collectively, "TAXES"); if the present method of
taxation changes so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any Taxes levied
on the Land or Building, there is levied on Landlord a capital tax directly
on the rents received therefrom or a franchise tax, assessment, or charge
based, in whole or in part, upon such rents for the Building, then all such
taxes, assessments, or charges, or the part thereof so based, shall be deemed
to be included within the term "Taxes" for the purposes hereof;

                  (g) Cost of repairs, replacements, and general maintenance
of the Building, other than repair, replacement, and general maintenance of
the roof, foundation and exterior walls of the Building; and

                  (h) Cost of service or maintenance contracts with
independent contractors for the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement,
or security of the Building (including, without limitation, alarm service,
window cleaning, and elevator maintenance).

costs (1) for capital improvements made to the Building, other than capital
improvements described in subparagraph 2.(c) of this Exhibit (as determined
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles); (2) for repair,

for other services directly and separately charged to other tenants of
subtenants in the Building, other than through operating expenses charged to
such tenants and subtenants; (12) incurred in

generally accepted accounting and management practices, of the costs of

been included in the charge for such third party's services); (16) for debt
or financing costs, including, without limitation, interest, points and fees
on debt, amortization payments on mortgages or deeds of trust, and ground
lease payments (except to the extent attributable to the cost of tools,
maintenance equipment, uniforms and similar items purchased by Landlord to
enable Landlord to supply services Landlord might otherwise contract for with
a third party); (17) of legal and other related expenses associated with the
negotiation, amendment, and enforcement of leases and other agreements

on a competitive basis; (27) of contributions to civic or charitable

         3. The Annual Cost Statement shall include a statement of Landlord's
actual Basic Cost for the previous year adjusted as provided in paragraph 4
of this Exhibit. If the Annual Cost Statement reveals that Tenant paid more
for Basic Cost than the actual Excess in the year for which such statement
was prepared, then Landlord shall credit or reimburse Tenant for such excess
within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Cost Statement;
likewise, if Tenant paid less than the actual Excess, then Tenant shall pay
Landlord such deficiency within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual
Cost Statement.

         4. With respect to any calendar year or partial calendar year
(including calendar year 2000) in which the Building is not occupied to the
extent of ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area thereof, the Basic
Cost for such period shall, for the purposes hereof, be increased to the
amount which would have been incurred had the Building been occupied to the
extent of ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area thereof.

the following calendar years: 105% for 2001; 110% for 2002; 115% for 2003;

thus, excluding Taxes, insurance, utilities and other costs beyond the
reasonable control of Landlord.

                           panels and breakers on the floor to support the above
                           required wattage. An additional five (5) watts per
                           rentable square foot capacity shall be provided in
                           the buss duct riser for Tenant's access, if required.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant hereafter agree that
some or all of the Landlord's Work is to be completed as part of the Work,
Landlord shall provide to Tenant an additional credit for the cost of
performing such portion(s) of the Landlord's Work.

2. SCHEDULE. Preparation and approval of working drawings, requests for and

</TABLE>

If either party fails to meet any of the aforesaid deadlines, the date by
which the other party is obligated to respond shall be delayed by the number
of days of delay by the other. The foregoing Schedule is intended to provide
a general guideline as to the dates by which, or time periods within which,
certain actions are to be taken by the respective parties hereunder; however,
the other provisions of this EXHIBIT D shall control to the extent such
provisions conflict with the foregoing or contemplate or provide for more
specific or additional approval rights, change orders, delays and the like.

         3. WORKING DRAWINGS. On or before the dates set forth above, Tenant
shall provide to Landlord for its approval final working drawings, prepared
by Staffelbach Architects (which has been approved by Landlord ) or another
architect that has been approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), of all improvements that Tenant proposes to install
in the Premises; provided that, at Tenant's option, Tenant may sooner submit
to Landlord for its approval final working drawings prepared by such
architect of such improvements on a full floor by full floor basis; provided
further, that Tenant shall be solely responsible for any delays or additional
costs which result from delivery of such working drawings on a floor by floor
(rather than the entire Premises) basis. All such working drawings shall
include the partition layout, ceiling plan, electrical outlets and switches,
telephone outlets, drawings for any modifications to the mechanical and
plumbing systems of the Building, and detailed plans and specifications for
the construction of the improvements called for under this Exhibit in
accordance with all applicable governmental laws, codes, rules, and
regulations. Further, if any of Tenant's proposed construction work will
affect the Building's heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC"),
electrical, mechanical, or plumbing systems, then the working drawings
pertaining thereto shall be submitted to and reviewed by the Building's
engineer of record, whom Tenant shall at its cost engage for such purpose.
Landlord shall approve such working drawings or notify Tenant of any changes
(with reasonable specificity) that must be made to secure such approval
within five (5) business days of receipt thereof (on a floor by floor or
entire Premises basis, as Tenant may elect). Landlord's approval of such
working drawings shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that (a) they
comply with all applicable governmental laws, codes, rules, and regulations,
(b) such working drawings are sufficiently detailed to allow construction of
the improvements in a good and workmanlike manner, and (c) the improvements
depicted thereon conform to the rules and regulations promulgated from time
to time by the Landlord for the construction of tenant improvements (a copy
of which has been delivered to Tenant). As used herein, "WORKING DRAWINGS"
shall mean the final working drawings approved by Landlord, as amended from
time to time by any approved changes thereto, and "WORK" shall mean all
improvements to be constructed in accordance with and as indicated on the
Working Drawings. Approval by Landlord of the Working Drawings shall not be a
representation or warranty of Landlord that such drawings are adequate for
any use, purpose, or condition, or that such drawings comply with any
applicable law or code, but shall merely be the consent of Landlord to the
performance of the Work. Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, sign the
Working Drawings to evidence its review and approval thereof. All changes in
the Work must receive the prior written approval of Landlord and Tenant (it
being agreed that approval or disapproval of any such change order will be
given by the applicable party within three (3) business days of request
therefor), and in the event of any such approved change Tenant shall, upon
completion of the Work, furnish Landlord with an accurate, reproducible
"as-built" plan (e.g., sepia) of the improvements as constructed, which plan
shall be incorporated into this Lease by this reference for all purposes.

         4. CONTRACTORS. The Work shall be performed only by contractors and
subcontractors approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Landlord and Tenant shall consider at least five (5)
reputable, qualified contractors, mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant,
for the performance of the Work. Landlord and Tenant shall mutually select
the contractor from among those five (5) contractors. Landlord and Tenant
agree that Austin Commercial, Phoenix Commercial and Pacific Builders are
mutually acceptable to them. Landlord shall execute the construction contract
with the selected contractor, the form of which shall be subject to the prior
approval of Tenant, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord will
require the selected contractor to "hard bid" all subcontractors who are
expected to provide services and/or materials in excess of $10,000.00.
Landlord shall not authorize or consent to any change order which will result
in an increase in the Total Construction Costs or otherwise modify or amend
the construction contract without Tenant's prior written consent. All
contractors and subcontractors shall be required to procure and maintain (a)
insurance against such risks, in such amounts, and with such companies as
Landlord may reasonably require and (b) at Landlord's option and expense,
payment and performance bonds covering the cost of the Work and otherwise
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Certificates of such insurance, with
paid receipts therefor, and copies of any such bonds must be received by
Landlord before the Work is commenced.

         5. PERFORMANCE OF WORK. The Work shall be performed in a good and
workmanlike manner that is free of defects and is in strict conformance with
the Working Drawings, and shall be performed in such a manner and at such
times as to maintain harmonious labor relations and not to interfere with or
delay Landlord's other contractors, the operation of the Building, and the
occupancy thereof by other tenants. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing,
not less than thirty (30) days in advance, of the date on which Landlord
reasonably anticipates the Work will have progressed to such a stage as to
permit Tenant to commence the installation of cabling and other fixtures and
equipment (and, to the extent appropriate, certain furniture) in an economic
and integrated basis with the performance of the other Work (such date being
called the "FIXTURING DATE"). All contractors and subcontractors

                                       D-2
<PAGE>

shall contact Landlord and schedule time periods during which they may use
Building facilities in connection with the Work (e.g., elevators, excess
electricity, etc.).

         6. TENANT'S REPRESENTATIVES. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has
retained the Staubach Company to assist Tenant in the build-out of the
Premises. Landlord agrees to afford the Staubach Company representatives
complete access to the Premises during the performance of the Work. Bid
information and forms provided by the Staubach Company shall be integrated in
the bidding process for the construction contract. Tenant shall not be
required to use Landlord's standard finish-out materials in the performance
of the Work; however, to the extent Tenant elects to do so, Landlord agrees
that such materials shall be charged to Tenant at Landlord's actual cost
therefor. Landlord shall provide to Tenant during the performance of the
Work, at no cost to Tenant, electricity and other utilities, security
limiting access to the Building and Premises, elevator service (in a
designated service or construction elevator), and contractor parking in
designated areas.

         7. DELAYS; SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. Delays in the Substantial
Completion of the Work which occur (a) because of any delay in Tenant's
delivery of the final working drawings to Landlord for Landlord's approval,
(b) because of any delay by Tenant in designating its architect, engineer,
contractors and/or subcontractors for Landlord's approval, (c) because of any
change by Tenant to the Working Drawings, (d) because of any specification by
Tenant of materials or installations in addition to or other than Landlord's
standard finish-out materials, (e) because Tenant, any contractor or
subcontractor of Tenant, or Tenant's agents otherwise delays completion of
the Work, (f) because of any delay resulting from Tenant's exercise of the
early occupancy option with respect to the 2nd Floor Space, or (g) because of
any other reason within Tenant's control are herein called "TENANT'S DELAYS",
provided that the foregoing shall not constitute Tenant Delays unless and
until Landlord gives notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant fails to correct the
action, inaction or condition giving rise to such Tenant Delay within one (1)
day of such notice. Delays in the Substantial Completion of the Work which
occur because of (i) any delay by Landlord in approving final working
drawings or changes in the Work submitted to Landlord for approval, (ii) any
delay by Landlord in approving architects, engineers, contractors and/or
subcontractors designated by Tenant, (iii) any other reason within Landlord's
control, or (iv) Force Majeure are herein called "LANDLORD'S DELAYS".
"SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION" of the Work shall be deemed to have occurred, and
the Work shall be deemed to be "SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED", when Landlord
delivers the Premises to Tenant with the Work completed to a stage sufficient
to permit the conduct by Tenant of its business in the ordinary course, in
substantial compliance with all applicable governmental codes and
requirements (including the Disabilities Acts to the extent Landlord is
responsible therefor pursuant to the terms of this Lease), with all
applicable Building systems and equipment in first class order and operating
condition, and with all legal requirements prerequisite to Tenant's use of
the Premises for the Permitted Use having been met, other than any required
zoning changes for the Permitted Use which shall be governed by Section
26(f). The "COMPLETION DATE" of the Premises shall occur on the earlier of
(1) fourteen (14) days after the date on which the Premises are delivered to
Tenant in a Substantially Complete condition, or (2) fourteen (14) days
following the date the Premises would have been Substantially Complete but
for Tenant Delays (the 14-day period described in clause (1) or (2), as
applicable, being herein called the "MOVE-IN PERIOD"); provided that the
Move-In Period shall be extended for one (1) day, and the Completion Date
shall be delayed by one (1) day, for each day of Landlord's Delays during the
Move-In Period.

         8. COST OF THE WORK. Tenant shall bear the entire cost of performing
the Work (including, without limitation, design of the Work and preparation
of the Working Drawings, costs of construction labor and materials
(including, without limitation, the purchase and installation of telephone
and data cabling and equipment and supplemental HVAC equipment), additional
janitorial services, general tenant signage, and related taxes and insurance
costs, all of which costs are herein collectively called the "TOTAL
CONSTRUCTION COSTS") in excess of the Construction Allowance (hereinafter
defined) available therefor, taking into account the application of any
portion of the Construction Allowance by Tenant to Other Costs (as
hereinafter defined). Upon approval of the Working Drawings and selection of
a contractor, Tenant shall promptly (a) execute a work order agreement
prepared by Landlord which identifies such drawings, itemizes the Total
Construction Costs and sets forth the Construction Allowance, and (b) pay to
Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the estimated Total
Construction Costs exceed the Construction Allowance available therefor. The
remaining portion of such excess shall be payable in equal monthly
installments on the first day of each month, beginning the first day of the
second full calendar month after the date hereof, and on the Substantial
Completion date. The monthly installments due on the first day of each month
shall equal the portion of such excess divided by the number of scheduled
payment dates (including the Substantial Completion date) from the date
hereof through the estimated Substantial Completion date for the Work. Upon
Substantial Completion of the Work and before Tenant occupies the Premises to
conduct business therein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the
Total Construction Costs (as adjusted for any approved changes to the Work),
less (1) the amount of the payments already made by Tenant, (2) the amount of
the Construction Allowance, and (3) the cost reasonably estimated by Landlord
for completing all "punch list" items; finally, upon completion of the punch
list items, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the costs incurred in completing the
same.

         9. CONSTRUCTION ALLOWANCE. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a
construction allowance (the "CONSTRUCTION ALLOWANCE") equal to the lesser of
(a) the sum of (i) $25.00 per rentable square foot in the Premises, and (ii)
at Tenant's option, an additional $5.00 per rentable square foot in the
Premises, provided that any such additional allowance under this clause (ii)
shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord in equal monthly installments of
principal and interest amortized over the initial Term of this Lease at an
interest rate of ten and one-half percent (10.5%) per annum, such option to
be exercised prior to commencement of the Work, if at all, or (b) the sum of
(i) the Total Construction Costs, as adjusted for any approved changes to the
Work, and (ii) Other Costs; however, if Tenant or its agent is managing the
performance of the Work, then Tenant shall not become entitled to full credit
for the Construction Allowance until the Work has been Substantially
Completed and Tenant has caused to be delivered to Landlord (1) all invoices
from contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers evidencing the cost of
performing the Work, together with lien waivers from such parties, and a
consent of the surety to the finished Work (if applicable) and (2) a
certificate of occupancy from the appropriate governmental authority, if
applicable to the Work, or evidence of governmental inspection and approval
of the Work. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
Landlord agrees (A) to pay to Tenant upon execution of this Lease, a portion
of the Construction Allowance equal to $1.00 per rentable square foot in the
Premises; (B) at Tenant's option, Tenant may apply a

                                       D-3
<PAGE>

portion of the Construction Allowance to costs and expenses incurred by
Tenant in relocating to the Premises, space planning, design costs, and
project management costs (collectively, the "OTHER COSTS"); and (C) to the
extent the sum of Total Construction Costs and Other Costs is less than
$25.00 per rentable square foot in the Premises, Landlord shall pay to Tenant
in cash a sum equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of such unused Construction
Allowance.

         10. CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION. Landlord or its affiliate shall
execute the construction contract and supervise the Work, make disbursements
required to be made to the contractor, and act as a liaison between the
contractor and Tenant and coordinate the relationship between the Work, the
Building, and the Building's systems; provided that Landlord shall not be
entitled to a fee for Landlord's construction supervision services.

         11. LEASE PROVISIONS. To the extent not inconsistent with this
Exhibit, Section 8.(a) of this Lease shall govern the performance of the Work
and the Landlord's and Tenant's respective rights and obligations regarding
the improvements installed pursuant thereto.

                                       D-4

                                    EXHIBIT E

                                     PARKING

         Tenant shall be permitted to use vehicular parking spaces in the
surface lot and the parking garage associated with the Building (the "PARKING
GARAGE") at a ratio of one (1) space for each two hundred fifty (250)
rentable square feet in the Premises (the "REQUIRED PARKING SPACES") during
the initial Term at no additional charge to Tenant, but otherwise subject to
such terms, conditions and regulations as are from time to time charged or
applicable to patrons of the Parking Garage; provided that of the Required
Parking Spaces, covered parking spaces in the Parking Garage shall be
provided at a ratio of one (1) space for each three hundred thirteen (313)
rentable square feet in the Premises (it being agreed that the remainder of
the Required Parking Spaces need not be covered parking spaces). In addition,
of the Required Parking Spaces, twenty (20) of the covered parking spaces in
the Parking Garage and twenty-five (25) of the parking spaces in the surface
lot shall be designated parking spaces reserved for Tenant's use (and the
remainder shall be undesignated parking spaces).

         Concurrently with the commencement of construction of the Work,
Landlord shall construct one hundred two (102) surface parking spaces on the
surface of the Land immediately adjacent to the Building which shall be
integrated into the currently existing parking facilities for the Building.
Landlord shall secure at least three (3) bids for this construction, and
Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the contractor to perform such
work. Such work shall be completed no later than December 31, 2000; provided
that Landlord's obligation to timely commence and complete such work shall be
subject to timely completion by the City of Richardson, Texas of such
stormwater drainage improvements as may be necessary to close and fill the
detention pond currently located on the intended site of such additional
surface parking spaces; provided further that Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the City to complete such stormwater drainage
improvements as soon as reasonably possible. Tenant shall pay Landlord
$250,000 for such construction upon the completion of such work, after
Landlord has submitted to Tenant copies of contracts, invoices, bills,
statements and evidence of payment of such bills together with Landlord's
request for payment of $250,000 from Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord such
amount within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives such request from
Landlord with reasonable supporting documentation, irrespective of the actual
cost to Landlord of performing such work. Fifty-one (51) of such additional
parking spaces shall be designated parking spaces reserved for Tenant's use
during the Term of this Lease, as extended (which are in addition to the
designated spaces stipulated above).

         Landlord agrees that Landlord will not lease any space in the
Building to any tenant which lease provides for a parking ratio of more than
three and one-half (3.5) parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet in the
subject leased premises under such other lease, except to the extent that
Landlord provides, constructs or otherwise makes available therefor parking
spaces in addition to the one thousand sixty-three (1,063) existing parking
spaces in the Parking Garage and the surface lot and the one hundred two
(102) surface parking spaces to be hereafter constructed by Landlord.

         If Tenant (a) assigns any of its interest in this Lease (other than
as a result of a Permitted Transfer), or (b) enters into any sublease as to
less than two (2) full floors in the Premises, then (i) such assignee or
sublessee shall only be entitled to use, and Tenant may not grant to such
assignee or sublessee more than, the Building standard ratio of parking
spaces per rentable square foot (3.5 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square
feet), and (ii) the number of designated parking spaces reserved for Tenant's
use shall be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage of the rentable
square feet in the Premises so assigned or subleased (other than pursuant to
a Permitted Transfer). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant enters into a
sublease as to at least two (2) full floors in the Premises, Tenant may, at
Tenant's option, grant to such sublessee such portion of the parking spaces
allocated to Tenant hereunder as Tenant elects in its discretion.

                                    EXHIBIT F

                                EXTENSION OPTIONS

         1. OPTION. Provided no Event of Default (which has continued beyond
any applicable cure periods) exists and subject to Paragraph 3 of this
Exhibit, Tenant may renew this Lease for two (2) additional periods of five
(5) years each on the same terms provided in this Lease (except as set forth
below), by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof to Landlord not
later than nine (9) months before the expiration of the applicable Term (the
"ELECTION NOTICE"). On or before the commencement date of the extended Term
in question, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease
extending the Term on the same terms provided in this Lease, except as
follows:

                  (a) The Basic Rental payable for each month during each such
         extended Term shall be the Fair Market Rental Rate, determined in
         accordance with Paragraph 2 below.

                  (b) The Premises during the renewal Term may be for all or
         such fewer number of full floors in the Premises as Tenant shall
         designate in the Election Notice. If the renewal is as to at least
         three (3) full floors, Tenant shall designate in the Election Notice
         which floor or floors will be included in the Premises, provided that
         Tenant must choose contiguous floors (except that Tenant may choose the
         2nd floor and other floors that are not contiguous to the 2nd floor but
         are contiguous to one another). If the renewal is as to less than three
         full floors, Landlord shall determine which floors may be renewed
         (except that Tenant may specify in the Election Notice that the 2nd
         floor shall be included).

                  (c) Tenant shall have no further renewal options unless
         expressly granted by Landlord in writing; and

                  (d) Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Premises in their
         then-current condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any
         allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the
         like) or other tenant inducements.

         2. DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE. Within thirty (30) days
after Landlord receives the Election Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
its assessment of the Fair Market Rental Rate ("LANDLORD'S ASSESSMENT"). If
Tenant disagrees with Landlord's Assessment, it shall deliver to Landlord
written notice thereof (an "OBJECTION NOTICE") within thirty (30) days after
Landlord delivers Landlord's Assessment to Tenant specifying Tenant's
assessment of the Fair Market Rental Rate; otherwise, Landlord's Assessment
shall be the Basic Rental for the extended Term. If Tenant timely delivers an
Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall meet to attempt to determine the
Fair Market Rental Rate for the extended Term. If Tenant and Landlord after
good faith negotiations are unable to agree on such Fair Market Rental Rate
within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers to Landlord the Objection
Notice, then (a) Tenant may elect not to extend the Term by notifying
Landlord in writing within five (5) days after the expiration of such thirty
(30) day period (and if Tenant fails to so notify Landlord that it has
elected to not extend the Term within such five (5) day period, Tenant shall
be deemed to have elected to not renew the Term and its rights under this
Exhibit shall lapse; time being of the essence with respect thereto); or (b)
Tenant may object to Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate
but confirm its exercise of the extension option, in which event Landlord and
Tenant shall each promptly appoint a Qualified Broker (as defined below). As
soon as reasonably possible following their appointment, and in any event
within thirty (30) days after Tenant's confirmation of its election to
exercise the extension option, the two (2) Qualified Brokers selected by
Landlord and Tenant shall each make a separate determination of the Fair
Market Rental Rate as of the commencement date of the applicable extension
term and shall deliver a written report of their determination (including
reasonable detail supporting such determination) to Landlord and Tenant. If
the higher of the two (2) Fair Market Rental Rate determinations is not more
than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower determination, then the
average of the two determinations shall be the annual Basic Rental rate
during the applicable extension term. If the higher determination is more
than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower determination, then the two
(2) Qualified Brokers selected by Landlord and Tenant shall, within ten (10)
days of such final determination, select a third Qualified Broker. If the
first two (2) brokers cannot agree upon a third broker within said ten (10)
day period, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to have the third broker
appointed by the President of the Dallas Chapter of AAA or its successor
organization. Each party shall be responsible for the compensation, if any,
of the broker appointed by it and for one-half (1/2) of the compensation, if
any, or the third broker. As soon as reasonably possible following its
appointment, the third broker shall determine which of the first two brokers'
determinations most closely approximates the Fair Market Rental Rate as of
the commencement date of the applicable extension Term, and the determination
so selected shall be the annual Basic Rental rate for the applicable
extension Term. Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree that the annual
Basic Rental rate determined in accordance with the foregoing procedure shall
be binding upon each of them. As used herein, the term "QUALIFIED BROKER"
means a real estate broker who (A) is licensed in the State of Texas, (B) has
been actively and continuously engaged in the leasing of office space in the
Dallas, Texas market during the preceding ten (10) year period, (C) has been
the primary broker representing either the lessor or the lessee to a lease
covering at least 25,000 square feet of space during the most recent three
(3) year period, and (D) has not represented Landlord or Tenant during the
preceding five (5) year period. The term "FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE" shall mean
the market rental rate for the time period such determination is being made
for comparable new lease transactions of office space in other Class A office
buildings in the "telecom corridor" sub-market of Dallas, Texas for space of
equivalent quality, size, utility, and location. Such determination shall
take into account all relevant factors, including, the length of the term,
credit standing of Tenant, market concessions, expense stop, construction
allowances, and the ratio of parking spaces provided to Tenant under this
Lease.

                  3. Tenant's rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if
(1) this Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises is terminated,

                                    EXHIBIT G

                      TENANT'S PREFERENTIAL RIGHT TO LEASE

         1. Subject to then-existing preferential rights or renewal or
expansion options of other tenants in the Building, before offering to lease
to any third-party person (except the then-current tenant therein) any
portion (the "OFFER SPACE") of the tenant space in the Building other than
the Premises and the Must-Take Space (the "ADDITIONAL SPACE"), Landlord shall
first offer to lease to Tenant the Offer Space. Such offer (the "OFFER
NOTICE") shall be in writing and specify: (a) the rent to be paid for the
Offer Space, which shall be (i) if such Offer Notice is given within eighteen
(18) months of the Commencement Date, the Basic Rental for the Premises, or
(ii) if such Offer Notice is given more than eighteen (18) months after the
Commencement Date, Landlord's Assessment of the Fair Market Rental Rate
(which shall assume the provision of market allowances, as set forth below),
(b) the lease term for the Offer Space which shall be (i) if such Offer
Notice is given within sixty (60) months of the Commencement Date,
coterminous with the initial Lease Term, and (ii) if such Offer Notice is
given more than sixty (60) months after the Commencement Date, such term as
Landlord shall reasonably designate, but not expiring sooner than the
expiration of the initial Lease Term, and (c) the date after completion of
applicable build-out on which the Offer Space shall be included in the
Premises. In addition, Tenant may from time to time (but not more frequently
than once every six (6) months) request Landlord to provide to Tenant a list
of the portions of the Additional Space then unencumbered and available for
rent and thereafter, if Tenant shall so request in writing, Landlord shall
provide an Offer Notice to Tenant as to such available, unencumbered portions
of Additional Space as Tenant shall specify (also referred to as "OFFER
SPACE"). Within ten (10) business days after Landlord delivers to Tenant the
Offer Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that (a) Tenant elects
to lease the entire Offer Space at the applicable rental rate set forth in
the Offer Notice, (b) Tenant objects to Landlord's determination of the Fair
Market Rental Rate (if applicable) but confirms its exercise of the
preferential right to lease the Offer Space, in which event Tenant shall
deliver its Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
Offer Notice, Landlord and Tenant thereafter shall each promptly appoint a
Qualified Broker, and the Fair Market Rental Rate shall be determined in
accordance with the procedures set forth in EXHIBIT F, or (c) Tenant elects
not to lease the Offer Space. If Tenant timely elects to lease the Offer
Space, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease,
effective as of the date the Offer Space is to be included in the Premises,
on the same terms as this Lease except that (1) the rentable area of the
Premises shall be increased by the rentable area in the Offer Space (and
Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be adjusted accordingly), (2) the Basic
Rental for such space shall be the Fair Market Rental Rate or other
applicable rental rate set forth in the Offer Notice, (3) if the Offer Notice
is given within eighteen (18) months after the Commencement Date, the
allowances to be provided by Landlord to Tenant shall be decreased
proportionally in the same ratio as the then remaining Term of the Lease (not
including any renewal and extension options) bears to the initial 10-year
Term of this Lease, and (4) if the Offer Notice is given more than eighteen
(18) months after the Commencement Date, market allowances will be provided
(and taken into account in establishing the Fair Market Rental Rate). If,
however, Tenant does not elect within the time and in the manner above
provided to exercise said option, then Landlord may lease the Offer Space to
third parties, subject to paragraph 2 below. If a lease for such Offer Space
is not fully executed within one hundred eighty (180) days following the
expiration of the ten (10) business day period mentioned above, then the
Offer Space shall again be subject to the preferential right in accordance
with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 1; provided that in any
event, Tenant's preferential right shall continue with respect to the
remainder of the Additional Space not then or previously the subject of an
Offer Notice on the terms hereinabove set forth.

         2. If at any time during the Term of this Lease, Landlord receives a
bona fide offer from a third-party to lease all or a portion of the
Additional Space (other than pursuant to then-existing preferential rights or
renewal or expansion options of other tenants in the building or the
then-current tenant therein) which Landlord desires to accept, whether or not
Landlord shall have previously given an Offer Notice with respect thereto,
Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing (a "REFUSAL NOTICE") and shall (a)
identify the Additional Space affected thereby (the "REFUSAL SPACE"); (b)
specify the rent to be paid and the allowances (if any) to be provided for
the Exercise Space (as hereinafter defined), which shall be the rent to be
paid and the allowances (if any) to be provided under such bona fide offer
which Landlord desires to accept; (c) specify the lease term for the Exercise
Space which shall be (i) if such Refusal Notice is given within sixty (60)
months of the Commencement Date, coterminous with the initial Lease Term, and
(ii) if such Refusal Notice is given more than sixty (60) months after the
Commencement Date, such term as is provided in the third-party offer Landlord
desires to accept, but not expiring sooner than the expiration of the initial
Lease Term; and (d) the date on which the Exercise Space shall be included in
the Premises. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord delivers to Tenant
the Refusal Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that (1) Tenant
elects to lease at the rental rate set forth in the Refusal Notice all or a
portion of the Refusal Space, provided that until at least seventy-five
percent (75%) the Building is leased, Tenant must elect to lease not less
than two additional floors in the Building if the Refusal Space is two or
more floors, and if the Refusal Space is less than two full floors, then
Tenant must elect to lease all the Refusal Space, and provided further that
after at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Building has been leased,
Tenant must elect to lease not less than one additional full floor in the
Building (the space as to which Tenant exercises its option, which if not
coextensive with the Refusal Space shall be mutually agreed to by Landlord
and Tenant, being hereinafter called the "EXERCISE SPACE"), or (2) Tenant
elects not to lease the Refusal Space. If Tenant timely elects to lease the
Exercise Space, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this
Lease, effective as of the date the Exercise Space is to be included in the
Premises, on the same terms as this Lease except that (x) the rentable area
of the Premises shall be increased by the rentable area in the Exercise Space
(and Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be adjusted accordingly), (y) the
Basic Rental for such space shall be the rental rate set forth in the Refusal
Notice, and (z) the allowances (if any) contained in the bona fide offer
which Landlord desires to accept will be provided. If, however, Tenant does
not elect within the time and in the manner above provided to exercise said
option, then Landlord may lease the Refusal Space to third parties. If a
lease for such Refusal Space is not fully executed within one hundred eighty
(180) days following the expiration of the ten (10) business day period
mentioned above, then the Refusal Space shall again be subject to the
preferential right in accordance with the foregoing provisions of paragraph 1.

         3. The preferential and refusal rights granted to Tenant under this
EXHIBIT G shall also be applicable to tenant space in any office building which
Landlord or CCII constructs on the Development Site, other than an

                                       G-1
<PAGE>

office building constructed pursuant to a build-to-suit or other similar
arrangement whereby such building is developed for the principal use and
benefit of a single tenant.

         4. Tenant may not exercise its rights under this Exhibit if an Event
of Default (which has continued beyond any applicable cure period) exists or,
after the Commencement Date, Inet Technologies, Inc. is not then in occupancy
of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the net rentable area of the
Premises. Tenant's rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if (a) this
Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises is terminated or (b)
Tenant assigns any of its interest in this Lease other than to a Permitted
Transferee. No sublessee or assignee of Tenant shall have any rights under
this Exhibit.

                         MUST-TAKE EXPANSION OBLIGATION

         1. Tenant hereby irrevocably agrees to take and lease from Landlord
the entire seventh (7th) floor of the Building (Suite 700), containing 27,697
rentable square feet (the "MUST-TAKE SPACE") on the same terms and conditions
as are applicable to the initial Premises, including Basic Rental,
Construction Allowance, and finish out of the Must-Take Space generally in
accordance with the terms and conditions of EXHIBIT D of this Lease, except
that (a) the scheduled commencement date of this Lease as to the Must-Take
Space shall be the date specified in a written notice by Tenant to Landlord,
which date shall be not earlier than twenty (20) weeks after the date on
which Tenant undertakes to deliver to Landlord for its approval final working
drawings for the Must-Take Space (which dates shall be specified in such
notice) and not later than April 1, 2001, subject to adjustment in the same
manner as set forth in Section 3 with respect to the initial Premises,
provided that if Tenant fails to deliver such a notice at least twenty (20)
weeks prior to April 1, 2001, the Commencement Date with respect to the
Must-Take Space shall be April 1, 2001; (b) Tenant shall not be entitled to
any free rental period with respect to the Must-Take Space, except to the
extent that the Commencement Date applicable to the Must-Take Space occurs
prior to October 1, 2000 in which event Tenant shall be entitled to free rent
from the Commencement Date applicable to the Must-Take Space to but not
including October 1, 2000: and (c) the initial Term for the Must-Take Space
shall be coterminous with that of the initial Premises. By occupying the
Must-Take Space, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in
their condition as of the date of such occupancy, subject to the performance
of punch-list items that remain to be performed by Landlord, if any. Tenant
shall execute and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord
has requested same, a letter agreement confirming (1) the Commencement Date
applicable to the Must-Take Space, (2) that Tenant has accepted the Must-Take
Space, (3) that Landlord has performed all of its obligations with respect to
the Must-Take Space (except for punch-list items specified in such letter),
and (4) that the number of rentable square feet in the Premises has been
increased by the number of rentable square feet in the Must-Take Space and
adjusting Tenant's Proportionate Share accordingly.

                                    EXHIBIT I

                                EXPANSION OPTIONS

         1. Provided no Event of Default (which has continued beyond any
applicable cure periods) exists and Tenant is occupying the entire Premises
at the time of such election, Tenant may elect to lease up to 27,697 rentable
square feet of additional space on the sixth (6th) floor of the Building as
designated on EXHIBIT A-6 (the "FIRST EXPANSION AREA"), by delivering to
Landlord, on or before the date that is six (6) months after the Commencement
Date, written notice of Tenant's election to include such space in the
Premises (the "FIRST FIRST-YEAR EXPANSION OPTION"). If Tenant timely
exercises its First First-Year Expansion Option, then Tenant and Landlord
shall execute an amendment to this Lease including the First Expansion Area
in the Premises on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the
initial Premises, including Basic Rental, Construction Allowance, and finish
out of the First Expansion Area generally in accordance with the terms and
conditions of EXHIBIT D of this Lease, except that (a) the scheduled
commencement date of this Lease as to the First Expansion Area shall be the
date specified in the written notice of election by Tenant, which date shall
be not earlier than twenty (20) weeks after the date on which Tenant
undertakes to deliver to Landlord for its approval final working drawings for
the First Expansion Area (which dates shall be specified in such notice) and
not later than eighteen (18) months after the Commencement Date (subject to
adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 3 with respect to the
initial Premises), (b) Tenant shall not be entitled to any free rental period
with respect to the First Expansion Area, (c) the initial Term for the First
Expansion Area shall be coterminous with that of the initial Premises, and
(d) the Construction Allowance and any other allowances to be provided by
Landlord to Tenant shall be decreased proportionally in the same ratio as the
then remaining term of this Lease (not including any renewal or extension
options) bears to the initial 10-year Term of this Lease. By occupying the
First Expansion Area, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the First
Expansion Area in their condition as of the date of such occupancy, subject
to the performance of punch-list items that remain to be performed by
Landlord, if any. Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, within ten
(10) days after Landlord has requested same, a letter agreement confirming
(1) the Commencement Date applicable to the First Expansion Area, (2) that
Tenant has accepted the First Expansion Area, (3) that Landlord has performed
all of its obligations with respect to the First Expansion Area (except for
punch-list items specified in such letter), and (4) that the number of
rentable square feet in the Premises has been increased by the number of
rentable square feet in the First Expansion Area and adjusting Tenant's
Proportionate Share accordingly.

         2. Provided no Event of Default exists, Tenant has exercised the
First Expansion Option, the fifth (5th) floor of the Building has not
theretofore been leased in whole or in part, and Tenant is occupying the
entire Premises at the time of such election, Tenant may elect to lease up to
27,697 rentable square feet of additional space on the fifth (5th) floor of
the Building as designated on EXHIBIT A-7 (the "SECOND EXPANSION Area"), by
delivering to Landlord, on or before the date that is twelve (12) months
after the Commencement Date, written notice of Tenant's election to include
such space in the Premises (the "SECOND FIRST-YEAR EXPANSION OPTION"). If
Tenant timely exercises its Second First-Year Expansion Option, then Tenant
and Landlord shall execute an amendment to this Lease including the Second
Expansion Area in the Premises on the same terms and conditions as are
applicable to the initial Premises, including Basic Rental, Construction
Allowance, and finish out of the Second Expansion Area generally in
accordance with the terms and conditions of EXHIBIT D of this Lease, except
that (a) the scheduled commencement date of this Lease as to the Second
Expansion Area shall be the date specified in the written notice of election
by Tenant, which date shall be not earlier than twenty (20) weeks after the
date on which Tenant undertakes to deliver to Landlord for its approval final
working drawings for the Second Expansion Area (which dates shall be
specified in such notice) and not later than twenty-four (24) months after
the Commencement Date (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth
in Section 3 with respect to the initial Premises), (b) Tenant shall not be
entitled to any free rental period with respect to the Second Expansion Area,
(c) the initial Term for the Second Expansion Area shall be coterminous with
that of the initial Premises, and (d) the Construction Allowance and any
other allowances to be provided by Landlord to Tenant shall be decreased
proportionally in the same ratio as the then remaining term of this Lease
(not including any renewal or extension options) bears to the initial 10-year
Term of this Lease. By occupying the Second Expansion Area, Tenant shall be
deemed to have accepted the Second Expansion Area in their condition as of
the date of such occupancy, subject to the performance of punch-list items
that remain to be performed by Landlord, if any. Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord has requested same,
a letter agreement confirming (1) the Commencement Date applicable to the
Second Expansion Area, (2) that Tenant has accepted the Second Expansion
Area, (3) that Landlord has performed all of its obligations with respect to
the Second Expansion Area (except for punch-list items specified in such
letter), and (4) that the number of rentable square feet in the Premises has
been increased by the number of rentable square feet in the Second Expansion
Area and adjusting Tenant's Proportionate Share accordingly. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to lease floors three (3), four (4) and five (5) in
the Building prior to leasing space on the sixth (6th) floor of the Building;
provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to forego any leasing
opportunity as to the sixth (6th) floor as part of such efforts.

         3. Tenant's rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if (a) this
Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises is terminated, (b)
Tenant assigns any of its interest in this Lease other than to a Permitted
Transferee, or (c) Tenant fails to timely exercise its First-Year Expansion
Options under this Exhibit, time being of the essence with respect to
Tenant's exercise thereof. Tenant may not exercise its rights under this
Exhibit if an Event of Default (which has continued beyond any applicable
cure periods) exists or, after the Commencement Date, Inet Technologies, Inc.
is not then in occupancy of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the net
rentable area of the Premises. No sublessee or assignee of Tenant shall have
any rights under this Exhibit.

                                    EXHIBIT J

                    RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL - DEVELOPMENT SITE

         1. Prior to Landlord's Commencement of Construction (as hereinafter
defined), Landlord agrees for itself and its affiliate, CCII, that, during
the Term, prior to offering to sell a development site in substantially the
same shape and configuration as is identified on EXHIBIT A-2 (the
"DEVELOPMENT SITE") to any third party not affiliated with Landlord or CCII,
CCII shall first offer to sell to Tenant the Development Site on the same
material business terms and conditions as the Development Site is to be
offered to any such unaffiliated third party; such offer shall be in writing
and specify the purchase price to be paid for the Development Site, the date
by which the Development Site must be purchased, and all other material
business terms of the sales proposal (the "PURCHASE OFFER NOTICE"). Tenant
shall notify CCII and Landlord in writing whether Tenant elects to purchase
the entire Development Site on the terms set forth in the Purchase Offer
Notice (the "TENANT ELECTION NOTICE") within ten (10) business days after
Landlord or CCII delivers to Tenant the Purchase Offer Notice. If Tenant
timely notifies CCII and Landlord in the Tenant Election Notice that Tenant
elects to purchase the Development Site, then CCII and Tenant shall enter
into a mutually acceptable purchase and sale agreement which shall
incorporate the terms of the Purchase Offer Notice, and shall provide for the
sale of the Development Site on an "as-is," "where-is" basis. If, however,
Tenant does not elect within the time and in the manner above provided to
exercise the preferential right to purchase hereinabove set forth, then CCII
may sell the Development Site to any such unaffiliated third party at a
purchase price that is not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the
purchase price set forth in the Purchase Offer Notice. If a purchase and sale
agreement for such Development Site is not fully executed within one hundred
eighty (180) days following the expiration of the ten (10) business day
period mentioned above, or if CCII elects to sell the Development Site on
terms materially different from those that are set forth in the Purchase
Offer Notice, then the Development Site shall again be subject to the
preferential right in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Exhibit. Tenant may not exercise its rights under this Exhibit if an Event of
Default exists hereunder.

         2. Tenant's rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if (a) this
Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises is terminated; (b)
Tenant assigns any of its interest in this Lease or sublets any portion of
the Premises this Lease (other than to a Permitted Transferee); or (c)
Commencement of Construction by CCII, Landlord or an affiliate of CCII or
Landlord occurs on the Development Site (each of the foregoing being called
"TERMINATION EVENTS").

         3. For purposes of this Exhibit, "COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION"
shall be deemed to have occurred only after a building permit has been
obtained, rough grading has been completed, and work has been initiated on
the foundations for permanent improvements on the Development Site

         4. Upon Tenant's written request, Landlord agrees to cause CCII to
execute and record a Memorandum of Preferential Right with respect to the
preferential rights herein granted in respect of the Development Site in the
form set forth below (the "MEMORANDUM"). Tenant hereby agrees that if (a) a
Termination Event has occurred, or (b) following receipt of a Purchase Offer
Notice, Tenant does not timely elect to purchase the Development Site
pursuant to a Tenant Election Notice, then within two (2) business days of
written request by Landlord or CCII, Tenant shall execute and deliver a
Termination of Preferential Right in the form set forth below (the
"TERMINATION"). Tenant further agrees that if Tenant fails to execute and
deliver a Termination following proper request by Landlord or CCII therefor,
such failure shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under the Lease.
In addition to any other remedies that Landlord may have under this Lease,
Landlord and/or CCII shall have the right, and are each hereby granted an
irrevocable power-of-attorney coupled with an interest, to execute and
deliver in the name of Tenant and record the Termination. Tenant further
acknowledges and agrees that the damages which will accrue to Landlord and
CCII if Tenant fails to execute and deliver the Termination cannot readily be
estimated or calculated, and that Landlord and/or CCII shall be entitled to
seek and obtain specific performance of such obligation.

          (b)  POWERS OF THE ADMINISTRATOR.  Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties
delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the
authority, in its discretion:

               (i)    to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock;

               (ii)   to select the Employees and Consultants to whom Options
may be granted hereunder;

               (iii)  to determine whether and to what extent Options are
granted hereunder;

               (iv)   to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be
covered by each Option granted hereunder;

               (v)    to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

               (vi)   to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder. Such terms and
conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or
times when Options may be

<PAGE>

exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration
or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation
regarding any Option or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in
each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall
determine;

               (vii)  to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then
current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered
by such Option shall have declined since the date the Option was granted;

               (viii) to institute an Option Exchange Program;

               (ix)   to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

               (x)    to modify or amend each Option (subject to Section 14(b)
of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the
post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise
provided for in the Plan;

               (xi)   to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option or previously
granted by the Administrator;

               (xii)  to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to
Options;

               (xiii) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations
by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to
the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be
withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld
is to be determined. All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for
this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the
Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

               (xiv)  to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for administering the Plan.

          (c)  EFFECT OF ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION.  The Administrator's
decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all
Optionees and any other holders of Options.

     5.   ELIGIBILITY.  Options may be granted hereunder only to Employees and
Consultants.

     6.   LIMITATION.  Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon an
Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's relationship as an
Employee or Consultant with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way
with the Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship
at any time, with or without cause.

<PAGE>

     7.   TERM OF PLAN.  The Plan shall become effective upon July 17, 1998. It
shall continue in effect for ten (10) years, unless sooner terminated under
Section 14 of the Plan.

     8.   TERM OF OPTION.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option
Agreement.

     9.   OPTION EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

          (a)  EXERCISE PRICE.  The per share exercise price for the Shares to
be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the
Administrator.

          (b)  WAITING PERIOD AND EXERCISE DATES.  At the time an Option is
granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be
exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the
Option may be exercised.

          (c)  FORM OF CONSIDERATION.  The Administrator shall determine the
acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

               (i)    cash;

               (ii)   check;

               (iii)  promissory note;

               (iv)   other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired
upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six
months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of
surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said
Option shall be exercised;

               (v)    consideration received by the Company under a cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

               (vi)   such other consideration and method of payment for the
issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or

               (vii)  any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

     10.  EXERCISE OF OPTION.

          (a)  PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at
such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set
forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of
a Share.

<PAGE>

               An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives:
(i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist
with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as
provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

               Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of
Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under
the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

          (b)  TERMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP AS AN EMPLOYEE.  If an Optionee
ceases to be a an Employee, other than upon the Optionee's death, the Optionee
may exercise his or her Option within three months after the Optionee ceases to
be an Employee or within such period of time as is specified in the Option
Agreement, and only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
termination. If an Optionee ceases to be an Employee due to the Optionee's
death, the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise
the Option by bequest or inheritance may exercise his or her option within such
period of time as specified in the Option Agreement, and only to the extent that
the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).
If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her
entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall
revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his
or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (c)  DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE.  In the event of an Optionee's
Disability, the vesting date for all Options which are unexercisable on the date
of the Optionee's Disability but which would otherwise become exercisable within
one year of such date will automatically accelerate to the date of the
Optionee's Disability or will automatically accelerate as set forth in the
Option Agreement. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as
to his or her entire Option, including as to accelerated vesting set forth above
or in the Option Agreement, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the
Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

<PAGE>

          (d)  DEATH OF OPTIONEE.  In the event of an Optionee's Death, the
vesting date for all Options which are unexercisable on the date of the
Optionee's Death but which would otherwise become exercisable within one year of
such date will automatically accelerate to the date of the Optionee's Death or
will automatically accelerate as set forth in the Option Agreement. The Option
may be exercised within such period by the Optionee's estate or by a person who
acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to
the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death, including as to
accelerated vesting set forth above or in the Option Agreement. If, at the time
of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the
Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the
Optionee's estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option
under the Optionee's will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option
is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (e)  BUYOUT PROVISIONS.  The Administrator may at any time offer to
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted based on
such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate
to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

     11.  NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  Unless determined otherwise by the
Administrator, an Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option
transferable, such Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.

     12.  CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION AND OWNERSHIP.

          (a)  CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.  Subject to any required action by the
stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have
been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting
from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be

<PAGE>

made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to
an Option.

          (b)  CHANGES IN CONTROL.  All obligations of the Company under the
Plan, with respect to Option granted thereunder, shall be binding on any
successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result
of a direct on indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

     13.  DATE OF GRANT.  The date of grant of an Option shall be, for all
purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting
such Option, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant.

     14.  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

          (a)  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.  The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

          (b)  EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.  No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise
the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to options granted under the
Plan prior to the date of such termination.

     15.  CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

          (a)  LEGAL COMPLIANCE.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

          (b)  INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.  As a condition to the exercise of an
Option the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required.

     16.  INABILITY TO OBTAIN AUTHORITY.  The inability of the Company to obtain
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.

<PAGE>

     17.  RESERVATION OF SHARES.  The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
