3.       TERM.

         3.1      TERM. The term of this Sublease shall be for Two (2) years at
rates stipulated herein commencing on January 1, 2004 and ending on December 31,
2005 unless sooner terminated or extended pursuant to any provision hereof.

         3.2      DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT. Notwithstanding said commencement date,
if for any reason Sublessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to
Sublessee on said date, Sublessor shall not be subject to any liability
therefore, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the
obligations of Sublessee hereunder or extend the term hereof, but in such case
Sublessee shall not be obligated to pay rent until possession of the Premises is
tendered to Sublessee; provided, however, that if Sublessor shall not have
delivered possession of the Premises within sixty (60) days from said
commencement date, Sublessee may, at Sublessee's option, by notice in writing to
Sublessor within ten (10) days thereafter, cancel this Sublease, in which event
the parties shall be discharged from all obligations thereunder. If Sublessee
occupies the Premises prior to said commencement date, such occupancy shall be
subject to all provisions hereof, such occupancy shall not advance the
termination date and Sublessee shall not pay rent for such period.

4.       RENT. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as rent for the Premises for
year 1 equal monthly payments of $ 3,573.06* in advance, on the 1st day of each
month of the term hereof. Sublessee shall pay Sublessor upon the execution
hereof $ 3,573.06 as rent for the month of January 2004. Refer to Par 51,
Schedule of Rents, for an itemization of rental payments applicable to year 3
and option years. * $3,503.00 (base rent) $70.06 (rental tax). Rent for any
period during the term hereof which is for less than one month shall be a
prorata portion of the monthly installment. Rent shall be payable in lawful
money of the United States to Sublessor at the address stated herein or to such
other persons or at such other places as Sublessor may designate in writing.

5.       SECURITY DEPOSIT. Sublessor shall issue Sublessee a credit of $6,886.83
toward its current security deposit of $11,354.00 leaving a balance of $4,467.17
upon execution hereof as security for Sublessee's faithful performance of
Sublessee's obligations hereunder. If Sublessee fails to pay rent or other
charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of
this Sublease, Sublessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said
deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the
payment of any other sum to which Sublessor may become obligated by reason of
Sublessee's default, or to compensate Sublessor for any loss or damage which
Sublessor may suffer thereby. If Sublessor so uses or applies all or any portion
of said deposit, Sublessor shall within ten (10) days after written demand
therefore deposit cash with Sublessor in an amount sufficient to restore said
deposit to the full amount hereinabove stated and Sublessee's failure to do so
shall be a material breach of this Sublease. Sublessor shall not be required to
keep said deposit separate from its general accounts. If Sublessee performs all
of Sublessee's obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has
not theretofore been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned, without payment of
interest or other increment for its use to Sublessee (or at Sublessor's option,
to the last assignee, if any, of Sublessee's interest hereunder) at the
expiration of the term hereof, and after Sublessee has vacated the Premises. No
trust relationship is created herein between Sublessor and Sublessee with
respect to said Security Deposit.

obligation of the Sublessor, after written notice from Sublessee, to promptly,
at Sublessor's sole cost and expense, rectify any such violation that is not
allowed as an exception by the Master Lessor. In the event that Sublessee does
not give to Sublessor written notice of any violation that is not allowed by the
Master Lessor within 1 year from the commencement of the term of this Sublease,
it shall be conclusively deemed that such violation did not exist and the
correction of the same shall be the obligation of the Sublessee.

Sublessee's expense, comply promptly with all applicable statutes, ordinances,
rules regulations, orders, restrictions or record, and requirements in effect

Master Lessor's consent, shall not be effective unless, within 10 days of the
date hereof, said guarantors sign this Sublease thereby giving guarantors
consent to this Sublease and the terms thereof.

         9.3      Since Master Lessor has given such consent then:

          (a)  Such consent will not release Sublessor of its obligations or
alter the primary liability of Sublessor to pay the rent and perform and comply
with all of the obligations of Sublessor to be performed under the Master Lease.

          (b)  The acceptance of rent by Master lessor from Sublessee or any one
else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by Master Lessor
of any provisions of the Master Lease.

          (c)  The consent to this Sublease shall not constitute a consent to
any subsequent subletting or assignment.

          (d)  In the event of any default of Sublessor under the Master Lease,
Master Lessor may not proceed directly against Sublessor, any guarantors or any
one else liable under the Master Lease or this Sublease without first exhausting
Master Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity liable thereon to
Master Lessor.

          (e)  Master Lessor may not consent to subsequent sublettings and
assignments of the Master lease or this Sublease or any amendments or

          (f)  In the event that Sublessor shall default in its obligations
under the Master lease, then Master Lessor, at its option and without being

security deposit paid by Sublessee, nor shall Master Lessor be liable for any
other defaults of the Sublessor under the Sublease.

         9.4      The signatures of the Master Lessor at the end of the attached
amendment to lease dated March 1, 1998 (part of Exhibit B) shall constitute
their consent to the terms of this Sublease.

         9.5      Master Lessor acknowledges that, to the best of Master
Lessor's knowledge, no default presently exists under the Master Lease of
obligations to be performed by Sublessor and that the Master Lease is in full
force and effect.

         9.6      In the event that Sublessor defaults under its obligations to
be performed under the Master Lease by Sublessor, Master Lessor agrees to
deliver to Sublessee a copy of any such notice of default. Sublessee shall have
the right to cure any default of Sublessor described in any notice of default

to terminate this Lease because of Lessor's failure to keep the Premises in good
order, condition and repair.

         13.2  LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a)      Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 6, 13.1, and

Lessor's option enter upon the Premises after 10 days prior written notice to
Lessee (except in the case of emergency, in which case no notice shall be
required), perform such obligations on Lessee's behalf and put the Premises in
good order, condition and repair, and the cost thereof together with interest
thereon at the maximum rate then allowable by law shall be due and payable as
additional rent to Lessor together with Lessee's next rental installment.

                  (c)      On the last day of the term hereof, or on any sooner
termination, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor in the same condition
as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, clean and free of debris. Lessee

or not in excess of $10,000 in cumulative cost, Lessee shall make no change or
alteration to the exterior of the Premises nor the exterior of the building(s)
on the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent. As used in this
Paragraph 13.3 the term "Utility Installation" shall mean carpeting, window
coverings, air lines, power panels, electrical distribution systems, lighting
fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning, plumbing, and fencing. Lessor may
require that Lessee remove any or all of said alterations, improvements,
additions or Utility Installations at the expiration of the term, and restore
the Premises to their prior condition. Lessor may require Lessee to provide
Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an
amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements,
to insure Lessor against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens
and to insure completion of the work. Should Lessee make any alterations,
improvements, additions or Utility Installations without the prior approval of
Lessor, Lessor may require that Lessee remove any or all of the same.

                  (b)      Any alteration, improvements, additions or utility
Installations in, or about the Premises that Lessee shall desire to make and
which requires the consent of the Lessor shall be presented to Lessor in written
form, with proposed detailed plans. If Lessor shall give its consent, the
consent shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee acquiring a permit to do so from
appropriate governmental agencies, the furnishing of a copy thereof to Lessor
prior to the commencement of the work and the compliance by Lessee of all
conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.

                  (c)      Lessee shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or
materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Lessee at or for
use in the Premises, which claim are or may be secured by any mechanics' or
materialmen's lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Lessee shall
give Lessor not less than ten (10) days' notice prior to the commencement of any
work in the Premises, and Lessor shall have the right to post notices of
non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law. If Lessee shall, in
good faith, contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Lessee
shall, at its sole expense defend itself and Lessor against the same and shall
pay and satisfy and such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before
the enforcement thereof against the Lessor or the Premises, upon the condition
that if Lessor shall require, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a surety bond
satisfactory to Lessor in an amount equal to such contested lien claim or demand
indemnifying Lessor against liability for the same and holding the Premises free
from the effect of such lien or claim. In addition, Lessor may require Lessee to
pay lessor's attorneys fees and costs in participating in such action if Lessor
shall decide it is to its best interest to do so.

                  (d)      Unless Lessor requires their removal, as set forth in
Paragraph 13.3 (a), all alterations, improvements, additions and Utility
Installations (whether or not such Utility Installations constitute trade
fixtures of Lessee), which may be made on the Premises, shall become the
property of Lessor and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the
expiration of the term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 13.3
(d), Lessee's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed to the
Premises so that it cannot be removed without material damage to the Premises,
shall remain the property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 13.2 (c).

insurance shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence. The
policy shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity provisions of this
Paragraph 14. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the

per occurrence.

         14.3     PROPERTY INSURANCE. Lessor shall obtain and keep in force

included within the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism,
malicious mischief, flood (in the event same is required by a lender having a
lien on the Premises) special extended perils ("all risk", as such term is used
in the insurance industry) but not plate glass insurance. In addition, the

         14.4     PAYMENT OF PREMIUM INCREASES.

                  (a)      Lessee shall pay to Lessor, during the term hereof,
in addition to the rent, the amount of any increase in premiums for the
insurance required under Paragraphs 14.2 and 14.3 over and above such premiums
paid during the Base Period, as hereinafter defined, whether such premium
increase shall be the result of the nature of Lessee's occupancy, and act or
omission of Lessee, requirements of the holder of a mortgage or deed of trust
covering the Premises, Increased valuation of the Premises, or general rate
increases. In the event that the Premises have been occupied previously, the
words "Base Period" shall mean the last twelve months of the prior occupancy. In
the event that the Premises have never been previously occupied, the premiums
during the "Base Period" shall be deemed to be the lowest premiums reasonably
obtainable for said insurance assuming the most nominal use of the Premises.
Provided, however, in lieu of the Base Period, the parties may insert a dollar
amount at the end of this sentence which figure shall be considered as the
insurance premium for the Base Period: $ N/A. In no event, however, shall
Lessee be responsible for any portion of the premium cost attributable to
liability insurance coverage in excess of $1,000,000 procured under paragraph
14.2.

                  (b)      Lessee shall pay any such premium increases to Lessor
within 30 days after receipt by Lessee of a copy of the premium statement or
other satisfactory evidence of the amount due. If the insurance policies
maintained hereunder cover other improvements in addition to the Premises,
Lessor shall also deliver to Lessee a statement of the amount of such increase
attributable to the Premises and showing in reasonable detail, the manner in
which such amount was computed. If the term of this Lease shall not expire
concurrently with the expiration of the period covered by such insurance,
lessee's liability for premium increases shall be prorated on an annual basis.

                  (c)      If the Premises are part of a larger building, then
Lessee shall not be responsible for paying any increase in the property
insurance premium caused by the acts or omissions of any other tenant of the
building of which the Premises are a part.

         14.5     INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance required hereunder shall be in
companies holding a "General Policyholders Rating" of at least B plus, or such
other rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises, as
set forth in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance Guide". Lessee shall
deliver to Lessor copies of policies of liability insurance required under
Paragraph 14.1 or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such
insurance. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of
coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Lessor. Lessee shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of such policies, furnish Lessor with renewals or "binders" thereof,
or Lessor may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Lessee, which
amount shall be payable by Lessee upon demand. Lessee shall not do or permit to
be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to in
Paragraph 14.3.

         14.6     WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Lessee and Lessor each hereby release
and relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the
other for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured
against under paragraph 14.3 which perils occur in, on or about the Premises,
whether due to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee or their agents, employees,
contractors and/or invitees. Lessee and Lessor shall, upon obtaining the
policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier
or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this
lease.

         14.7     INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor
from and against any and all claims arising from Lessee's use of the Premises,
or from the conduct of Lessee's business or from any activity, work or things
done, permitted or suffered by Lessee in or about the Premises or elsewhere and
shall further indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all
claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation
on Lessee's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from
any negligence of the Lessee, or any of Lessee's agents, contractors, or
employees, and from and against all costs, attorney's fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or
proceeding brought thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought
against Lessor by reason of any such claim, Lessee upon notice from Lessor shall
defend the same at Lessee's expense by counsel satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee,
as a material part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of
damage to property or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises arising
from any cause and Lessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against
Lessor.

         14.8     EXEMPTION OF LESSOR FROM LIABILITY. Lessee hereby agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for injury to Lessee's business or any loss of income
therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of
Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about
the Premises, nor shall Lessor be liable for injury to the person of Lessee,
Lessee's employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is
caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from
the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other
cause, whether the said damage or injury results from conditions arising upon
the Premises or upon other portions of the building of which the Premises are a
part, or from other sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of
such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to
Lessee. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages from any act or neglect of
any other tenant, if any, of the building in which the Premises are located.

15.      DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

         15.1     DEFINITIONS.

                  (a)      "Premises Partial Damage" shall herein mean damage or
destruction to the Premises to the extent that the cost of repair is less than
50% of the fair market value of the Premises immediately prior to such damage or
destruction. "Premises Building Partial Damage" shall herein mean damage or
destruction to the building of which the Premises are a part to the extent that
the cost of repair, is less than 50% or more of the fair market value of such

or destruction to the Premises to the extent that the cost of repair is 50% or
more of the fair market value of the Premises immediately prior to such damage

that the cost of repair is 50% or more of the fair market value of such building
as a whole immediately prior to such damage or destruction.

                  (c)      "Insured Loss" shall herein mean damage or
destruction which was caused by an event required to be covered by the insurance
described in paragraph 14.

         15.2     PARTIAL DAMAGE - INSURED LOSS. Subject to the provisions of
paragraphs 15.4, 15.5, and 15.6, if at any time during the term of this Lease
there is damage which is an insured Loss and which falls into the classification
of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Building Partial Damage, then Lessor
shall, at Lessor's sole cost, repair such damage, but not Lessee's fixtures,
equipment or tenant improvements, as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect.

         15.3     PARTIAL DAMAGE - UNINSURED LOSS. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 15.4, 15.5, and 15.6, if at any time during the term of this Lease
there is damage which is not an insured Loss and which falls within the
classification of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Building Partial Damage,
unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee
shall make the repairs at Lessee's expense), Lessor may at Lessor's option
either (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Lessor's
expense, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or
(ii) give written notice to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the date of the
occurrence of such damage of Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this
Lease, as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. In the event Lessor
elects to give such notice of Lessor's intention to cancel and terminate this
Lease, Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of
such notice to give written notice to Lessor of Lessee's intention to repair
such damage at Lessee's expense, without reimbursement from Lessor, in which
event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Lessee shall
proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible. If Lessee does not
give such notice within such 10-day period this Lease shall be cancelled and
terminated as of the date of the occurrence of such damage.

         15.4     TOTAL DESTRUCTION. If at any time during the term of this
Lease there is damage, whether or not an insured Loss, (including destruction
required by any authorized public authority), which fall into the classification

shall automatically terminate as of the date of such total destruction.

         15.5     DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM

within the classification of Premises Partial Damage, Lessor may at Lessor's
option cancel and terminate this Lease

                                  Page 4 of 13
<PAGE>

as of the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Lessee
of Lessor's election to do so within 30 days after the date of occurrence to
such damage.

                  (b)      Notwithstanding paragraph 15.5(a), in the event that
Lessee has an option to extend or renew this Lease, and the time within which
said option may be exercised has not yet expired, Lessee shall exercise such
option, if it is to be exercised at all, no later than 20 days after the
occurrence of an insured Loss falling within the classification of Premises
Partial Damage during the last six months of the term of this Lease. If Lessee
duly exercise such option during said 20 day period, Lessor shall, at Lessor's
expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fails to exercise such option
during said 20 day period, then Lessor may at Lessor's option terminate and
cancel this Lease as of the expiration of said 20 day period by giving written
notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to do so within 10 days after the
expiration of said 20 day period, notwithstanding any term or provision in the
grant of option to the contrary.

         15.6     ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES.

                  (a)      In the event of damage described in paragraphs 15.2,
or 15.3, and Lessor or Lessee repairs or restores the Premises pursuant to the
provisions of this Paragraph 15, the rent payable hereunder for the period
during which such damage, repair or restoration continues shall be abated in
proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired.
Except for abatement of rent, if any, Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor
for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or
restoration.

                  (b)      If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the
Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 15 and shall not commence such
repair or restoration within 90 days after such obligations shall accrue, Lessee
may at Lessee's option cancel and terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written
notice of Lessee's election to do so at any time prior to the commencement Of
such repair or restoration. In such event this Lease shall terminate as of the
date of such notice.

         15.7     TERMINATION - ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Paragraph 15, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning
advance rent and any advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in
addition, return to Lessee so much of Lessee's security deposit as has not
theretofore been applied by Lessor.

         15.8     WAIVER. Lessor and Lessee waive the provisions of any statutes
which relate to termination of leases when leased property is destroyed and
agree that such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.

16.      REAL PROPERTY TAXES

         16.1     PAYMENT OF TAX INCREASE. Lessor shall pay the real property
tax, as defined in paragraph 16.3, applicable to the Premises; provided,
however, that Lessee shall pay, in addition to rent, the amount, if any, by
which real property taxes applicable to the Premises increase over the fiscal
real estate tax year 2003. Such payment shall be made by Lessee within thirty
(30) days after receipt of Lessor's written statement setting forth the amount
of such increase and the computation thereof. If the term of this Lease shall
not expire concurrently with the expiration of the tax fiscal year, Lessee's
liability for increased taxes for the last partial lease year shall be prorated
on an annual basis.

         16.2     ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. Notwithstanding paragraph 16.1
hereof, Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand therefor the entirety of any
increase in real property tax if assessed solely by reason of additional
improvements placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.

         16.3     DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAX". As used herein, the term
"real property tax" shall include any form of real estate tax or assessment,
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and any license fee, commercial
rental tax, improvement bond or bonds, levy or tax (other than inheritance
personal income or estate taxes) imposed on the Premises by any authority having
the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state or federal
government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, drainage or
other improvement district thereof, as against any legal or equitable interest
of Lessor in the Premises or in the real property of which the Premises are a
part, as against Lessor's right to rent or other assessment or charge (i) in
substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge
hereinabove included within the definition of "real property tax," or (ii) the
nature of which was hereinbefore included within the definition of "real
property tax," or (iii) which is imposed for a service or right not charged
prior to December 1, 1998, or, if previously charged, has been increased since
December 1, 1998, or (iv) which is imposed as a result of a transfer, either
partial or total, of Lessor's interest in the Premises or which is added to a
tax or charge hereinbefore included within the definition of real property tax
by reason of such transfer, or (v) which is imposed by reason of this
transaction, any modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof.

         16.4     JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately assessed,
Lessee's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the real property taxes
for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be determined by Lessor from the respective valuations
assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information as may be
reasonably available. Lessor's reasonable determination thereof, in good faith,
shall be conclusive.

         16.5     PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.

                  (a)      Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes
assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.

                  (b)      If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be
assessed with Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes
attributable to Lessee within 10 days after receipt of a written statement
setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee's property.

17.      UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay for its pro rata share of sewer, water,
landscaping, telephone and any of the utilities and services supplied to the
Premises, together with any taxes thereon, if any such services are not
separately metered to Lessee or are accomplished in common. Lessee's pro rata
share shall be 8.89% (7,006 sq. ft. divided by 78,816 sq. ft.). Lessee shall
also pay for its pro rata share of light and power on an allotted budget basis
($12,500 annually paid at $1,041.67 per month subject to review and adjustment
every six months).

18.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

         18.1     LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Lessee shall not voluntarily or by
operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or
encumber all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises,
without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor shall not unreasonably
withhold. Lessor shall respond to Lessee's request for consent hereunder in a
timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or
subletting without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of
this Lease.

         18.2     LESSEE AFFILIATE. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
18.1 hereof, Lessee may assign or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof,
without Lessor's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation resulting from the
merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or entity which acquires
all the assets of Lessee as a going concern of the business that is being
conducted on the Premises, provided that said assignee assumes, in full, the
obligations of Lessee under this Lease. Any such assignment shall not, in any
way, affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms of this Lease even
if after such assignment or subletting the terms of this Lease are materially
changed or altered without the consent of Lessee, the consent of whom shall not
be necessary.

         18.3     NO RELEASE OF LESSEE. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or after
the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by
Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any
provision hereof. Consent to one assignment to subletting shall not be deemed
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by
any assignee of Lessee or any successor of Lessee, in the performance of any of
the terms hereof, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee without the
necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee. Lessor may consent to
subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or
modifications to this Lease with assignees of Lessee, without

                                  Page 5 of 13
<PAGE>

notifying Lessee, or any successor of Lessee, and without obtaining its or their
consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Lessee of liability under this
Lease.

19.      DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.

         19.1     DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:

                  (a)      The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by
Lessee.

                  (b)      The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or
any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due,
where such failure shall continue for a period of three days after written
notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee
with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit pursuant to applicable Unlawful Detainer
statues such Notice to Pay Rent or Quit shall also constitute the notice
required by this subparagraph.

                  (c)      The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of
the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or
performed by Lessee, other than described in paragraph (b) above, where such
failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof from
Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is
such that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee
shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commenced such cure within said
30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

                  (d)      (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement
or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Lessee becomes a "debtor" as
defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in
the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60
days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30
days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of
substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's
interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days.
Provided, however, in the event that any provision of this paragraph 19.1(d) is
contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect.

                  (e)      The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement
given to Lessor by Lessee, any assignee of Lessee, any subtenant of Lessee, any
successor in interest of Lessee or any guarantor of Lessee's obligation
hereunder, and any of them was materially false.

         19.2     REMEDIES. In the event of any such material default or breach
by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand
and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor
may have by reason of such default or breach:

                  (a)      Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the
Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and
Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorney's fees,
and any real estate commission actually paid; the worth at the time of award by
the court having jurisdiction thereof of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided;
that portion of the leasing commission paid by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 15
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.

                  (b)      Maintain Lessee's right to possession in which case
this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Lessee shall have abandoned
the Premises, In such event Lessor shall be entitled to enforce all of Lessor's
rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as
it becomes due hereunder.

                  (c)      Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to
Lessor under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises
are located. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at
the maximum rate then allowable by law.

         19.3     DEFAULT BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not be in default unless
Lessor fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within a reasonable time,
but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Lessee to
Lessor and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the
Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Lessee
in writing, specifying wherein Lessor has failed to perform such obligation;
provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more
than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor shall not be in
default if Lessor commences performance within such 30-day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

         19.4     LATE CHARGES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by
Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extrememly difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor
by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly,
if any installment of rent or any other sum due from Lessee shall not be
received by Lessor or Lessor's designee within ten (10) days after such amount
shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall
pay to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The parties
hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of
such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising
any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late
charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive
installments of rent, then rent shall automatically become due and payable
quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding paragraph 4 or any
other provision of this Lease to the contrary.

         19.5     IMPOUNDS. In the event that a late charge is payable
hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) installments of rent or any
other monetary obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall
pay to Lessor, if Lessor shall so request, in addition to any other payments
required under this Lease, a monthly advance installment, payable at the same
time as the monthly rent, as estimated by Lessor, for real property tax and
insurance expenses on the Premises which are payable by Lessee under the terms
of this Lease. Such fund shall be established to insure payment when due, before
delinquency, of any or all such real property taxes and insurance premiums. If
the amounts paid to Lessor by Lessee under the provisions of this paragraph are
insufficient to discharge the obligations of Lessee to pay such real property
taxes and insurance premiums as the same become due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
upon Lessor's demand, such additional sums necessary to pay such obligations.
All moneys paid to Lessor under this paragraph may be intermingled with other
moneys of Lessor and shall not bear interest. In the event of a default in the
obligation of Lessee to perform under this Lease, then any balance remaining
from funds paid to Lessor under the provisions of this paragraph may, at the
option of Lessor, be applied to the payment of any monetary default of Lessee in
lieu of being applied to the payment of real property tax and insurance
premiums.

         19.6     CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken
under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of
said power (all of which are herein called "condemnation"), this Lease shall
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes
title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area
of the building on the Premises, or more than 25% of the land area of the
Premises which is not occupied by any building, is taken by condemnation, Lessee
may, at Lessee's option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days
after Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice of such taking (or in the
absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemnation authority
shall have taken possession) terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning
authority takes such possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in
accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the rent shall be
reduced in the proportion that the floor area of the building taken bears to the
total floor area of the building situated on the Premises. No reduction of rent
shall occur if the only area taken is that which does not have a building
located thereon. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises
under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the
exercise of such power shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall
be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the
taking of the fee, or as severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall
be entitled to any award for loss of or damage to Lessee's trade fixtures and
removable personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by
reason of such condemnation, Lessor shall to the extent of severance damages
received by Lessor in connection

                                  Page 6 of 13
<PAGE>

with such condemnation, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such
condemnation except to the extent that Lessee has been reimbursed therefore by
the condemning authority. Lessee shall pay any amount in excess of such
severance damages required to complete such repair.

20.      ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

                  (a)      Lessee shall at any time upon not less than ten (10)
days prior written notice from Lessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor
a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the
date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any,. And (ii)
acknowledging that there are not, to Lessee's knowledge, any uncured defaults on
the part of Lessor hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed.
Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser
or encumbrancer of the Premises.

                  (b)      At Lessor's option, Lessee's failure to deliver such
statement within such time shall be a material breach of this Lease or shall be
conclusive upon Lessee (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Lessor, (ii) that there are no
uncured defaults in Lessor's performance, and (iii) that not more than one
month's rent has been paid in advance or such failure may be considered by
Lessor as a default by Lessee under this Lease.

                  (c)      If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the
Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or
purchaser designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee as may be
reasonably required by such lender of purchaser. Such statements shall include
the past three years financial statements of Lessee. All such financial
statements shall be received by Lessor and such lender or purchaser in
confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

21.      LESSOR'S LIABILITY. The term "Lessor" as used herein shall mean only
the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title or a lessee's
interest in a ground lease of the Premises, and except as expressly provided in
Paragraph 16, in the event of any transfer of such title or interest, Lessor
herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers other then from the
grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all
liability as respects Lessor's obligations thereafter to be performed, provided
that any funds in the hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such
transfer, in which Lessee has an interest, shall be delivered to the grantee.
The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Lessor shall, subject
as aforesaid, be binding on Lessor's successors and assigns, only during their
respective periods of ownership.

22.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the
validity of any other provision hereof.

23.      INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein provided,
any amount due to Lessor not paid when due shall bear interest at the maximum
rate then allowable by law from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not
excuse or cure any default by Lessee under this Lease, provided, however, that
interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Lessee nor on any
amounts upon which late charges are paid by Lessee.

24.      TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence.

25.      ADDITIONAL RENT. Any monetary obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the
terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.

26.      INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS. This Lease contains all
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior
agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective.
This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at
the time of the modification. Except as otherwise stated in this Lease, Lessee
hereby acknowledges that neither the real estate broker listed in Paragraph 10
hereof nor any cooperation broker on this transaction nor the Lessor or any
employees or agents of any of said persons has made any oral or written
warranties or representations to Lessee relative to the condition or use by
Lessee of said premises and Lessee acknowledges that Lessee assumes all
responsibility regarding the Occupational Safety Health Act, the legal use and
adaptability of the Premises and the compliance thereof with all applicable laws
and regulations in effect during the term of this Lease except as otherwise
specifically stated in this Lease.

27.      NOTICES AND WAIVERS. Any notice required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by
certified mail, and if given personally or by mail, shall be deemed sufficiently
given if addressed to Lessee or to Lessor at the address noted below the
signature of the respective parties, as the case may be. Either party may by
notice to the other specify a different address for notice purposes except that
upon Lessee's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute
Lessee's address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices required or
permitted to be given to Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to
such party or parties at such addresses as Lessor may from time to time
hereafter designate by notice to Lessee.

         No waiver by Lessor or any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of
any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Lessee of the same or
any other provision. Lessor's consent to, or approval of any act, shall not be
deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Lessor's consent to or approval of
any subsequent act by Lessee. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall
not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any provision hereof, other
than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of
Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such
rent.

28.      RECORDING. Either Lessor or Lessee shall, upon request of the other,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this
Lease for recording purposes.

29.      HOLDING OVER. If Lessee, with Lessor's consent, remains in possession
of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the term hereof,
such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month upon all the provisions of
this Lease pertaining to the obligations of Lessee, but all options and rights
of first refusal, if any, granted under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed
terminated and be of no further effect during said month to month tenancy.

30.      CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at
law or in equity.

31.      COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease performable by
Lessee shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

32.      BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. Subject to any provisions hereof
restricting assignment or subletting by Lessee and subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 21, this Lease shall bind the parties, their personal representatives,
successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State
wherein the Premises are located.

33.      SUBORDINATION.

                  (a)      This Lease, at Lessor's option, shall be subordinate
to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or
security now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises
are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
Notwithstanding such subordination, Lessee's right to quiet possession of the
Premises shall not be disturbed if Lessee is not in default and so long as
Lessee shall pay the rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this
Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated

                                  Page 7 of 13
<PAGE>

pursuant to its terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to
have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground
lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease shall be
deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give
written notice thereof to Lessee, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such
mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or
subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the
date of recording thereof.

                  (b)      Lessee agrees to execute any documents required to
effectuate an attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the
lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be.
Lessee's failure to execute such documents within 10 days after written demand
shall constitute a material default by Lessee hereunder, or, at Lessor's option,
Lessor shall execute such documents of behalf of Lessee as Lessee's
attorney-in-fact. Lessee does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint
Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact and in Lessee's name, place and stead, to
execute such documents in accordance with this paragraph 33(b).

34.      LESSOR'S ACCESS. Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to
enter the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same,
showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the
building of which they are a part as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable.
Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Sale"
signs and Lessor may at any time during the last 120 days of the term hereof
place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs, all without
rebate of rent or liability to Lessee.

35.      AUCTIONS. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, either
voluntarily or involuntarily, any auction upon the Premises without first having
obtained Lessor's prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Lease, Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard
of reasonableness in determining whether to grant such consent.

36.      SIGNS. Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Premises without
Lessor's prior written consent except that Lessee shall have the right, without
the prior permission of Lessor to place ordinary and usual for rent or sublet
signs thereon.

37.      MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Lessor, shall not work a
merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing
subtenancies or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to Lessor
of any or all of such subtenancies.

38.      CONSENTS. Except for paragraph 35 hereof, wherever in this Lease the
consent of one party is required to an act of the other party, such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.

39.      GUARANTOR. In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said
guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.

40.      QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Lessee paying the rent for the Premises and
observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on
Lessee's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Lessee shall have quiet
possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof subject to all of the
provisions of this Lease. The individuals executing this Lease on behalf of
Lessor represent and warrant to Lessee that they are fully authorized and
legally capable of executing this Lease on behalf of Lessor and that such
execution is binding upon all parties holding an ownership interest in the
Premises.

41.      OPTIONS.

         41.1     DEFINITION. As used in this paragraph the word "Options" has
the following meaning: (1) the right or option to extend the term of this Lease

property of Lessor; (2) the option or right of first refusal to lease the
Premises or the right of first offer to lease the Premises or the right of first
refusal to lease other property of Lessor or the right of first offer to lease
other property of Lessor.

         41.2     OPTIONS PERSONAL. Each Option granted to Lessee in this Lease
are personal to Lessee and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or
involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than Lessee, provided,
however, the Option may be exercised by or assigned to any Lessee Affiliate as
defined in paragraph 18.2 of this Lease. The Options herein granted to Lessee
are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.

         41.3     MULTIPLE OPTIONS. In the event that Lessee has any multiple
options to extend or renew this Lease a later option cannot be exercised unless
the prior to extend or renew this Lease has been so exercised.

         41.4     EFFECT OF DEFAULT ON OPTIONS.

                  (a)      Lessee shall have no right to exercise an Option,
notwithstanding any provision in the grant of Option to the contrary, (i) during
the time commencing from the date Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of default
pursuant to paragraph 19.1(b) or 19.1(c) and continuing until the default
alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) at any time after an event
of default described paragraphs 19.1(a), 19.1(d), or 19.1(e) (without any
necessity of Lessor to give notice of such default to Lessee), or (iv) in the
event that Lessor has given to Lessee three or more notices of default under
paragraph 19.1(b), where a late charge becomes payable under paragraph 19.4 for
each of such defaults, or paragraph 19.1,(c), whether or not the defaults are
cured, during the 12 month period prior to the time the Lessee intends to
exercise the subject Option.

                  (b)      The period of time within which an Option may be
exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to
exercise an Option because of the provision of paragraph 41.4(a).

                  (c)      All rights of Lessee under the provisions of an
Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding
Lessee's due and timely exercise of the Option, if, after such exercise and
during the term of this Lease, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary
obligation of Lessee for a period of 30 days after such obligation becomes due
(without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee), or (ii)
Lessee fails to commence to cure a default specified in paragraph 19.1(c) within
30 days after the date that Lessor gives notice to Lessee of such default and/or
Lessee fails thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure to completion, or

19.1(e) (without any necessity of Lessor to give notice of such default to
Lessee), or (iv) Lessor gives to Lessee three or more notices of default under

keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may make from
time to time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the building
and grounds, the parking of vehicles and the preservation of good order therein
as well as for the convenience of other occupants and tenants of the building.
The violation of any such rules and regulations shall be deemed a material
breach of this Lease by Lessee.

43.      SECURITY MEASURES. Lessee hereby acknowledges that the rental payable
to Lessor hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security
measures, and that Lessor shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same.

invitees from acts of third parties.

grant such easements, rights and dedications that Lessor deems necessary or
desirable, and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and restrictions, so long
as such easements, rights, dedications, Maps and restrictions do not
unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign
any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor and failure to do so
shall constitute a material breach of this Lease.

45.      PERFORMANCE UNDER PROTEST. If at any time a dispute shall arise as to
any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party to the other under the
provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is
asserted shall have the right to make payment "under protest" and such payment
shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right
on the part of said party to institute suit for recovery of such sum. If it
shall be adjudged that there was no legal obligation on the part of said party
to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover
such sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the
provisions of this Lease.

52.      PERSONAL GUARANTY. N/A

53.      Pursuant to Article 4 of the Lease Agreement, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor in addition to, and at the time of the rental payable hereunder, any
excise, sales, rental or transaction privilege taxes of any nature, other than
income and estate taxes, now or hereafter imposed by any governmental body or
agency upon, against, or in any way payable by Lessor and attributed to or
measured by rent or other charges or prorations payable by lessee hereunder or
as a result of this Lease, which is currently levied at the rate of two percent
(2%).

54.      Notwithstanding the provisions as outlined in Article 6.2. Compliance
with Law, Lessee hereby agrees not to do or permit anything to be done in or
about the Premises which will increase the existing rate of insurance upon the
Premises or cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering Premises or
any building of which the Premises may be a part, nor shall Lessee sell or
permit to be kept, used or sold in or about said Premises any articles which may
be prohibited by a standard form policy of fire or other hazard insurance. If
Lessee's use of Premises results in any increase in premiums for insurance,
Lessee will promptly reimburse lessor for the cost of such increase. Lessee's
acts which might result in insurance premium increases include without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, such things as storing or using flammable
substances, stocking materials too close to the ceiling or sprinklers, failure
to maintain adequate aisles, or failure to impose or enforce smoking rules. Any
conduct of Lessee which causes an increase in fire or other hazard insurance
premiums, or which is in violation of recommendations by Lessor's insurance
carrier or failure by Lessee to promptly take any corrective action recommended
by Lessor's insurance carrier shall be a material default under this Lease and
Lessor shall be entitled to all of the remedies in Paragraph 19.2 of this Lease.
Lessee further agrees not to use the Premises or permit to be done in or about
the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, zoning
restriction, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation or requirements of
duly constituted public authorities now in force or which may hereafter be
enacted or promulgated. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
comply with all applicable laws, statues, ordinances, and governmental rules,
regulations, or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force,
and with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar
body now or hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the condition, use or
occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction
or the admission of Lessee in any action against Lessee, whether Lessor be a
party thereto or not, that Lessee has violated any law, statute, ordinance or
governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact
as between Lessor and Lessee. This applies particularly and specifically,
without limiting the generality thereof, to any act which is in violation of the
body of law generally referred to as the Hazardous Substances law. At the time
this lease is made, such body of law includes, but is not limited to, the Atomic
Energy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act (of 1980) known as "Superfund:, the Clean Water
Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (of 1976 amended), the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the Toxic
Substances control Act, and Uses Oil Recycling Act. Lessee will indemnify Lessor
against all cost, expense, or loss, including attorney's fees, which Lessor may
sustain as a result of Lessee's violation of his obligations under this
paragraph. Any violation by Lessee of its duties under this paragraph shall be a
material default under this lease which will entitle Lessor to all of its
remedies under this Lease. The obligations of Lessee under Paragraph 51 shall
survive termination of this Lease.

55.      Lessor shall indemnify Lessee against any claims arising from the
presence of use of hazardous materials in or around the demised premises prior
to the commencement of this lease and Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against all
claims arising from the use of hazardous materials in or around the demised
premises during the lease term or any extension or renewal thereof.

56.      Lessee acknowledges that Lessee has read paragraph 40 of this Lease.
Lessee understands that the recessed truck dock and adjacent inside loading
platform is common area and is used by various tenants in the building. This
area is for the expedient loading and unloading of tenant's property and is not
to be used for storage of trucks, trailers or other vehicles not in the process
of loading or unloading. The truck dock and loading platform shall be used only
for loading or unloading, which shall be accomplished as expeditiously as can
reasonably be done. After which, trucks, trailers and other vehicles used in the
loading or unloading shall be promptly removed from the truck dock.

57.      The leased premises is part of an older building. Lessee has inspected
the premises and is familiar with its age, construction, and general condition

term, as follows:

                           to be removed to ceiling.

                           (3) Ensure that the subleased Premises defined by

                           offices and the section of the warehouse floor that

                           Inc. When this space is sublet, DuraSwitch
                           Industries, Inc. shall modify the security system to
                           handle the +/- 7,006 sq. ft. only as defined by this
                           sublease agreement.

59.      OTHER CONDITIONS. (1) In the event that any air conditioning unit
serving the subleased premises requires replacing, sublessor shall replace said
unit at its own expense as long as sublessee can demonstrate that it has
properly maintained the air conditioning system serving the leased premises. (2)
The existing air compressor serving the leased premises shall remain in its
present location. Sublessor shall grant sublessee access to reroute the existing
compressed air lines. (3) The existing power conditioners owned and operated by

subleased premises as long as sublessee occupies said premises. Upon termination
of its sublease, sublessee shall, at its own expense, remove said power
conditioners from the subleased premises and ensure that the referenced
electrical panels operate in a manner similar to the way they operated prior to
the installation of the power conditioners.

60.      OPTION TO RENEW. Sublessor shall grant sublessee an option to extend
its lease for an additional three (3) years by means of three (3) one-year

sublease unit 102, sublessor shall notify sublessee of the terms and conditions
of the offer. Sublessee shall then have twenty-four (24) hours in which to
respond in writing to sublessor with an equal or better offer.

     will  pay  to  Lessor  the  sum  of  $  2,650.00  in  consecutive   monthly
     installments on or before the 1st day of each month during the term of this
     lease,  except for first and last months installment payment which shall be
     paid at the  beginning  of the lease term.  Rent  payments  will be paid to
     Steven and Katherina Winer, or to its assigns.

     In addition to payment of the above sums, Lessee shall also pay or cause to
     be paid all real  estate  taxes  and  assessments  (special  or  otherwise)
     pertaining  to said property  above.  Lessee will provide all insurance and
     will pay all cost  for  utilities,  maintenance,  repair,  replacement  and
     upkeep of said property during the term of this lease.

     2.   OPTION TO RENEW.

     At the end of the term,  lease may be  renewed  upon a  renegotiated  price
     mutually  agreeable  by both  parties.  A sixty (60) day notice is required
     prior to the end of the lease if either  party  decides not to renew.  This
     notice is to be sent registered mail to the stated address.

     3.   SECURITY DEPOSIT.

     Lessor  acknowledges  receipt of $  2650.00_  as a  security  deposit.  The
     security  deposit shall secure the performance of the Lessee's  obligations
     hereunder.  The leased  premises  are expected to be left in good and clean
     and non  contaminated  condition  at the  end of the  lease  term,  or upon
     termination  of this  lease.  Lessor  may apply  all or a  portion  of said
     deposit on account of Lessee's  obligations if all rents have not been paid
     when due.

     4.   NOT ASSIGNABLE, NO SUBLETTING OF PREMISES.

     Lessee may not assign  this lease,  and Lessee may not sublet the  premises

     representatives, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties.

                                       1
<PAGE>

     5.   USE OF THE PREMISES.

     The leased  premises  shall be used and occupied by Lessee  exclusively  as
     stated for oilfield equipment rental, sales, service and repairs. Any other
     purpose made of the premises by Lessee is subject to Lessors' prior written
     consent.

     6.   QUIET ENJOYMENT.

     Lessee agrees to keep the noise level in a rural setting,  per requirements
     made by the City of Bloomfield.

     7.   CONDITION OF THE PREMISES.

     The  property  is being  leased  as is",  with no  warranties,  implied  or
     express, being given as to its suitability for a particular purpose, or for
     any other contingency. Lessee has had the opportunity to inspect the leased
     premises  prior to  occupancy,  and Lessee  covenants  and agrees  that the
     premises are suitable for its intended use.

     If the leased premises should be damaged as a result of Lessee's negligence
     or willful act, or that of its employee,  agent,  family,  or visitor;  and
     such  damage is so  extensive  that Lessor  shall  decide not to rebuild or
     repair,  the term of this Lease shall end and the rent shall be prorated up
     to the  time of the  damage.  This  provision  shall  in no way  limit  the
     Lessor's  right to sue Lessee for damages in the event that such damage was
     caused by  Lessee's  negligence  or willful  act,  and  Lessor's  insurance
     proceeds do not cover all damages  sustained as a result of such negligence
     or willful act.

     8.   DANGEROUS MATERIALS.

     Lessee  shall not keep or have on the  premises  any  article or thing of a
     dangerous,  inflammable  or  explosive  character  that might  unreasonably
     increase  the  danger  of fire on the  leased  premises  or that  might  be
     considered  hazardous  or  extra  hazardous  by any  responsible  insurance
     company.

     9.   MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

     Lessee  agrees that it will keep up and  maintain  the  improvements,  real
     property  and  personal  property in as good a  condition  as they are now,
     normal wear and tear excepted.

     10.  ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS, REVERSION TO LESSOR.

     Furnishings,  trade fixtures and equipment installed by Lessee shall remain
     the  property of Lessee and may be removed by Lessee at any time during the
     lease  term  provided  that  Lessee  is  not in  default  under  the  lease
     agreement.  Lessee shall repair any material  damage to the premises,  less
     ordinary wear and tear,  resulting from the installation or removal of such
     property.

     In the event of abandonment  of the premises by the Lessee,  or termination
     of this lease for cause by the Lessor,  all  improvements  and any personal
     property  left on the premises by the Lessee shall be deemed  abandoned and
     shall become the property of the Lessor.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     Lessee shall make no substantial alterations,  additions or improvements in
     or to the leased premises without the Lessor's prior written consent.

     11.  INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION.

     It is recommended  that Lessee  purchases and keeps in effect all insurance
     policies required to protect its interest in the improvements, contents and
     personal property owned by Lessee and located on or in the leased premises.

     The Lessee will  indemnify  and hold  harmless  the Lessor from any and all
     claims and damages (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) arising
     from  Lessee's use of the  premises,  or from any  activity,  work or thing
     done,  or  permitted  by Lessee,  in or about the location at 3900 N. First
     Street,  Bloomfield,  NM,  unless  caused  by Lessor  or  Lessor's  agents,
     employees,  or  invitees;  or from failure of the Lessee to comply with any
     requirement of any governmental authority.

     Lessee will carry on the property,  building and fence  insurance  covering
     against  loss of  fire,  extended  casualty,  in an  amount  equal  to such
     replacement   value,   and  public   liability  in  a  minimum   amount  of
     $1,000,000.00 per occurrence,  $1,000,000.00  general  aggregate  annually,
     with  the  policies  naming  both  Steven  Winer  and  Katherina  Winer  as
     additional insured.

     12.  REPAIRS.

     All repairs to the building,  fence and property is the  responsibility  of
     the  Lessee,  except for any  underground  utility  lines  coming  into the
     property which were not damaged by the Lessee, employee or its invitees.

     13.  RIGHT OF INSPECTION.

     The  Lessor,  or  its  authorized  agents,  shall  have  the  right  at all
     reasonable  times during the lease term,  to enter the leased  premises for
     the purpose of inspection to determine continued  compliance with the terms
     of this Agreement.

     A designated agent of Lessor, consented to by Lessee, shall have and safely
     retain a key with which to unlock the door for any emergency purposes.

     14.  MECHANIC'S LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES.

     The  Lessee  shall  not  do or  suffer  anything  to be  done  whereby  any
     mechanic's,  material men or any other lien or encumbrance may encumber the
     leased  premises.  If any such lien is filed  during  the lease  term,  the
     Lessee  will be  required  to  discharge  the  same,  and  obtain a release
     thereof,  within thirty (30) days of the date of the filing of such a lien.
     The Lessee  agrees that whenever it should enter into any contracts for the
     alteration,  repair,  or  improvement  of the  premises,  it will  insert a
     contract provision whereby the person or persons with whom such contract is
     made, shall for himself and any subcontractors expressly waive any right to
     file a mechanic's or other lien against the Lessors. Notice is hereby given
     that the Lessor will not be liable for any labor or materials  furnished or
     contracted to be furnished to the Lessee upon credit.

     15.  HOLDOVER BY LESSEE.

     Should  Lessee  remain  in  possession  of the  leased  premises  with  the
     knowledge and consent of Lessor after the natural expiration of this Lease,
     a new  tenancy  from  month to month  shall be created  between  Lessor and
     Lessee which shall be subject to all terms and conditions  hereof but shall
     be  terminable  upon  thirty (30) days  notice  served by either  Lessor or
     Lessee upon the other party.

     16.  ATTORNEY FEES AND COSTS.

     In the event of a breach of this  Agreement  by either  party  hereto,  the
     party  ultimately being determined to be at fault agrees in addition to the
     damages  awarded  to pay the  reasonable  attorney  fees  and  costs of the
     opposing party determined not to be at fault

     17.  DEFAULT.

     If Lessee shall fail or refuse to make the monthly payments required herein
     on a timely basis to Lessor,  Lessor shall have the right to remove  Lessee
     from the leased premises in accordance with New Mexico state law upon three
     (3) days notice.

     It Lessee  should fail or refuse to comply with any other term or condition
     contained herein,  then and in that event,  Lessee shall be deemed to be in
     default and Lessor may retake  possession of the premises hereby leased and
     remove all persons therefrom. Lessee covenants and agrees that if it should
     default in its  obligations  hereunder  that it will  vacate  the  Property

     be made by this  Lease,  Lessee  hereby  grants  to  Lessor a lien upon all
     property of Lessee now or  subsequently  located upon the premises,  except
     that property  consigned to the Lessee.  If Lessee  abandons or vacates any
     substantial  portion or the  premises,  or is in  default  of any  payments
     required  hereunder,  or any other lease provisions,  Lessor may enter upon
     the  premises  and  take  possession  of all or any  part  of the  personal

     The  proceeds of the sale of personal  property  shall be applied by Lessor
     toward the reasonable costs and expenses of the sale,  including attorney's
     fees,  and then toward the payment of all sums owed by the Lessee to Lessor
     under the terms of this lease.  Any excess remaining funds shall be paid to
     Lessee or any other person entitled thereto by law.

     duties, or liabilities  hereunder shall be settled by means of arbitration,
     mediation,  or  some  other  form of  alternative  dispute  resolution,  if
     possible.  If alternative dispute resolution is not feasible,  for whatever
     reason,  all  controversies  shall  be  litigated  in the San  Juan  County
