                        SERVICES AND FACILITIES AGREEMENT

      THIS SERVICES AND FACILITIES AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of the 31st day of December, 2002, among Consolidated
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CCI"), Illinois Consolidated
Telephone Company, an Illinois corporation ("ICTC"), and each of the other
subsidiaries of CCI identified on Exhibit A hereto, as such Exhibit A may be
amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

                                   WITNESSETH:

      WHEREAS, the Parties are related by virtue of common ownership, directly
or indirectly, of their equity securities by CCI; and

      WHEREAS, the Parties believe that the central management of certain
services and the provision to each other of certain services and facilities are
or may be efficient and cost-effective, and the Parties desire to make provision
for these and other transactions as between ICTC and a CCI Entity or Entities;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                 Definitions; Scope of Agreement; Interpretation

      Section 1.1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms
shall have the respective meanings set forth below unless the context otherwise
requires:

      "CCI Entity" means any of CCI and the entities identified on Exhibit A,
including any current or future subsidiaries of such entities, but excluding
ICTC.

      "ICC" means the Illinois Commerce Commission.

      "Party" means each, and "Parties" means all of the entities who are from
time to time a party to this Agreement.

      "Provider" means a Party who has been requested to, and who is able and
willing to, furnish facilities, provide services or both to a Requestor under
the terms of this Agreement.

      "Requestor" means a Party who desires to use facilities, receive services
or both, and has requested another Party to furnish such facilities, provide
such services or both.

      Section 1.2. Scope of Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is to set
forth procedures and policies to govern (a) transactions between a CCI Entity
and ICTC, whether such transactions occur directly or indirectly as the end
result of a series of related transactions, and (b) the allocation of certain
costs. This Agreement is not intended to govern transactions between CCI
Entities except to the extent required by the ICC's rules regarding transactions
between carriers and their affiliates, as amended from time to time.
Furthermore, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, any Party may
participate in a transaction (which would otherwise be subject to this Agreement
but without regard to otherwise following

<PAGE>

this Agreement) if such transaction is permitted by any law or regulation
provided the transaction meets the requirements of the applicable law or
regulation.

      Section 1.3. Interpretation. The headings of Articles and Sections
contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References to

                         Use of Facilities and Services

      Section 2.1. Facilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement, a Requestor may request a Provider or Providers to make

such Provider or Providers shall make available or provide to such Requestor,
the use of facilities, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

            (a)   facilities, including, without limitation, office space,

discretion in scheduling the use by a Requestor of facilities so as to avoid
interference with such Provider's operations, subject to the Provider meeting
all agreed commitments to the Requestor; and provided further that it is
understood that if the provider is ICTC, sufficient prudent and necessary review
has been undertaken to assure that making available or providing the use of the
facilities will not impair the ability of ICTC to provide its services to its
customers.

this Agreement, a Requestor may request a Provider or Providers to provide, and,

provided, however, that a Provider shall have no obligation to provide any of
the foregoing to the extent that it is not capable of providing such service
(either because such provider does not have personnel capable of providing the
requested service or the service is otherwise being used); and provided further,
it is understood that a Provider has sole discretion in scheduling the use by a
Requestor of services so as to avoid interference with such Provider's
operations, subject to the Provider meeting all agreed commitments to the
Requestor; and provided further that it is understood that if the provider is
ICTC, sufficient prudent and necessary review has been undertaken to assure that
the provision of the services will not impair the ability of ICTC to provide its
services to its customers.

      Section 2.3. Joint Purchasing. A Party may also request that another Party
or Parties enter into arrangements to effect the joint purchase of goods or
services from third parties; provided, however, that if ICTC is so requested to
enter into or to participate in such arrangements, it shall do so only if its
fully distributed cost for such goods or services is not thereby increased; and
provided further, that no Party shall be required to purchase a service which it
is otherwise capable of providing or obtaining. In the event that any such
arrangements are established, one Party may be designated as, or serve as, agent
for the other Parties to the arrangement and may administer the arrangement
(including billing and collecting amounts due the vendor(s)) for the other
Parties.

      Section 2.4. Agreements, Etc. A Provider and Requestor may evidence their
agreement with respect to the availability, provision or use of the facilities,
services and activities described in this Article II by entering into an
agreement, lease, license or other written memorandum or evidence; provided such
agreement, lease, license or other written memorandum or evidence shall not
contain terms inconsistent with this Agreement; and further provided that this
Section 2.4 shall not be deemed to require any such agreement, lease, license or
other written memorandum or evidence.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                Charges; Payment

      Section 3.1. Charges.

      (a)   Charges for the use of facilities or services under Sections 2.1 and
2.2 shall be determined in accordance with Section 4.1.

      (b)   Any applicable sales or use tax payable on a joint purchase shall be
allocated to the purchasers by applying the statutory basis to the joint
purchasers' shares of the purchase cost.

      Section 3.2. Accounting. Each Party shall maintain adequate books and
records with respect to the transactions subject to this Agreement and shall
establish unique account numbers in its general ledger system which shall be
used to record the costs to be apportioned to the other Parties. Each Party
shall be responsible for maintaining internal controls to ensure the costs
associated with transactions covered by this Agreement are properly allocated
and billed in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

      Section 3.3. Invoicing, Payment. Invoicing and payment for the facilities
and services specified in Article II or the joint services costs specified in
Section 4.3 shall be as follows:

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

            (a)   for the use of facilities specified in Section 2.1 or the
      provision of services specified in Section 2.2, a Provider shall invoice
      the Requestor on a monthly basis;

            (b)   for joint purchasing arrangements specified in Section 2.3,
      invoices will be payable according to the terms set by the vendor(s)
      providing the purchased goods or services, or if a Party has been selected
      to administer such arrangement, pursuant to invoices rendered by such
      Party; and

            (c)   for joint service costs under Section 4.3, CCI shall invoice
      ICTC for such costs as allocated to it using the methodology in Section
      4.3.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                         Cost Apportionment Methodology

      Section 4.1. General Principles. The following general principles shall be
used in setting charges for transactions between ICTC and CCI Entities, as
required by the ICC's rules regarding transactions between carriers and their
affiliates (83 Ill. Admin. Code Part 711), as amended from time to time:

            (a)   Facilities or services provided by ICTC to a CCI Entity shall
      be charged at the higher of: (i) market price, if market price can be
      determined from a price list or tariff, or (ii) the fully distributed cost
      (determined as provided in Section 4.2) incurred by ICTC in providing such
      facility or service, where a market price does not exist.

            (b)   Facilities or services provided by a CCI Entity to ICTC shall
      be charged at the lower of: (i) market price, if market price can be
      determined from a price list or tariff, or (ii) the fully distributed cost
      (determined as provided in Section 4.2) incurred by such CCI Entity in
      providing such facility or service, where a market price does not exist.

Costs shall be charged to a Party in accordance with these general principles
using either a direct charge or an allocation methodology consistent with 83
Ill. Admin. Code Part 711 and ICTC's Cost Allocation Manual. Costs of assets or
services specifically attributable to a Party shall be charged directly to such
Party. Joint and common costs not specifically attributable to a Party shall be
charged to the appropriate Parties based on specific allocation methodologies in
accordance with ICTC's Cost Allocation Manual and 83 Ill. Admin. Code Part 711.

      Section 4.2. Fully Distributed Costs. Costs charged on a fully distributed
cost basis shall reflect the amounts of direct labor, direct materials and
direct purchased services associated with the related asset or service. These
amounts shall be increased by a portion of indirect costs to reflect labor,
administrative and general and other overhead amounts in accordance with
specific allocation methodologies contained in ICTC's Cost Allocation Manual and
83 Ill. Admin. Code Part 711.

      Section 4.3. CCI Administrative and General Costs. Costs which are
applicable to CCI because they jointly benefit all subsidiaries will be
accumulated on the books of CCI as Administrative and General costs. These costs
will then be calculated for and charged to all CCI Entities and ICTC based on
specified allocation methodologies in accordance with ICTC's Cost Allocation
Manual and 83 Ill. Admin. Code Part 711. To the extent they pertain to CCI, the
costs to be allocated will include, but are not necessarily limited to:

                            Limitations of Liability

      Section 5.1. No Warranties For Facilities or Services. Each Party
acknowledges and agrees that any facilities made available, and any services
provided, by a Provider to a Requester hereunder, are so made available or
provided WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY AND
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT BY A PARTY'S EMPLOYEES,
REPRESENTATIVES OR AGENTS TO THE CONTRARY) WHATSOEVER. ALL SUCH WARRANTIES
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FORA PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED.

      Section 5.2. No Partnership. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this
Agreement does not create a partnership between, or a joint venture of, a Party
and any other Party. Each Party is an independent contractor and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute any Party as the
agent of any other Party except as expressly set forth in Section 2.3.

      Section 5.3. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for
the exclusive benefit of the Parties hereto and is not intended, and shall not
be deemed or construed, to create any rights in, or responsibilities or
obligations to, third parties.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                   Termination

      This Agreement shall automatically terminate as to a Party upon the date
that CCI ceases, directly or indirectly, to own equity securities in such Party.
Any such termination shall not affect the terminating Party's accrued rights and
obligations under this Agreement arising prior to the effective date of
termination or its obligations under Section 8.4.

                            Confidential Information

      Each Party shall treat in confidence all information which it shall have
obtained regarding the other Parties and their respective businesses during the
course of the performance of this Agreement. Such information shall not be
communicated to any person other than the Parties to this Agreement, except to
the extent disclosure of such information is required by a governmental
authority. If a Party is required to disclose confidential information to a
governmental authority, such Party shall take reasonable steps to make such
disclosure confidential under the rules of such governmental authority.
Information provided hereunder shall remain the sole property of the Party
providing such information. The obligation of a Party to treat such information
in confidence shall not apply to any information which (a) is or becomes
available to such Party from a source other than the Party providing such
information, or (b) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result
of disclosure by such Party or its agents.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                  Miscellaneous

      Section 8.1. Entire Agreement; Amendments. Upon its effectiveness, this
Agreement shall constitute the sole and entire agreement among the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous
agreements, proposals, oral or written, negotiations, representations,
commitments and all other communications between some or all of the Parties.
Except as provided in Section 8.2 with respect to new Parties and except that
CCI may amend Exhibit A to this Agreement to delete any terminated Party, this
Agreement shall not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a written
instrument signed by an authorized representative of each of the Parties.

      Section 8.2. New Parties. Any other entity which is or may become an
affiliate of CCI may become a Party to this Agreement by executing an agreement
adopting all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such agreement must
be signed by CCI in order to become effective, but need not be signed by any
other Party to this Agreement. Upon such execution by CCI, such entity shall be
deemed to be a Party and shall be included within the definition of "Party" for
all purposes hereof, and Exhibit A shall be amended to add such entity.

      Section 8.3. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party
without the prior written consent of CCI.

      Section 8.4. Access to Records. During the term of this Agreement, each
Party shall have reasonable access to and the right to examine any and all
books, documents, papers and records which pertain to services and facilities
provided by the other Parties under this Agreement to such Party, and such Party
shall provide access to, and the opportunity to examine, all such records which
pertain to services and facilities provided to the other Parties under this
Agreement by such Party. Each Party shall maintain all such records relating to
a given transaction for a period of seven years after the transaction. In
addition, during the term of this Agreement and for the same seven year period,
the ICC shall have access to all accounts and records of such CCI Entity
relating to transactions with ICTC to the extent, and with the limitations, set
forth in Section 7-101 of the Public Utilities Act. Accordingly, each CCI entity
shall make available to ICTC for the ICC's review pursuant to Section 7-101 such
information as

                                       -7-
<PAGE>

the ICC or its staff may deem necessary in order to review and verify both the
amounts charged to ICTC under this Agreement and the manner in which those
amounts were derived.

      Section 8.5. Partial Invalidity. Wherever possible, each provision hereof
shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but in case any one or more of the provisions contained herein
shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the
extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating
the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions
or any other provisions hereof, unless such a construction would be
unreasonable. In the event that it is determined that the charges for a
particular transaction covered by this Agreement were not determined properly
for any reason, such determination and/or finding shall not affect the validity
of such transaction; provided, however, that if the transaction involved ICTC
and a CCI Entity, CCI (or, if CCI so determines, such CCI Entity) shall pay to
or reimburse ICTC, or ICTC shall pay to or reimburse such CCI Entity, as the
case may be, for the difference between the amount that was charged in
connection with the transaction and the charge that is determined to be proper
under the provisions of Article IV.

      Section 8.6. Waiver. Failure by any Party to insist upon strict
performance of any term or condition herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any
rights or remedies that such Party may have against any other Party nor in any
way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of
such Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any
breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or
subsequent breach.

      Section 8.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed
and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Illinois.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have each caused this Agreement to be
executed by a duly authorized representative as of the day and year first above
written.

thereafter; provided, however, that anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time

the "Lessee's Early Termination Right") by giving Lessor one (1) year prior

Term(s) thereof, without the prior written consent in each instance of Lessor,
and Lessee shall furnish to Lessor with each request a copy of such proposed
instrument, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
withholding of consent shall be deemed reasonable if the requested assignment or
sublease that is likely to be detrimental to the Premises or adjacent property,

otherwise, or creates wear and tear to the Premises in excess of the business
purpose for which the Premises is leased hereunder, shall be are herein leased.

applicable codes and regulations, including but not limited to applicable
municipal building codes, fire codes, and the American's With Disabilities Act.
Lessee shall have the right to install such machinery, equipment, and business
and trade fixtures as it deems necessary, and such items shall remain the
property of Lessee and shall be removed at the termination of this Lease;
provided, however, that the Lessee shall repair any damage caused by the
installation, use or removal of any such machinery, equipment, and business and
trade fixtures within thirty (30) days after termination of this Lease. If any
such machinery, equipment, and business and trade fixtures remain on the
Premises after said thirty (30) day period, Lessor may (a) deem all or a portion
of such property abandoned by Lessee and title to such property shall thereupon
transfer to Lessor; or, (b) remove all or a portion of such property from the
Premises at the Lessee's expense and the Lessee shall pay to Lessor the expenses
incurred by Lessor in removing, storing, and disposing of such property with ten
(10) days after notice as provided herein.

Lessor may deem necessary for the protection of the Premises. Lessor may, during
the last 90 days of this Lease, display a sign offering the Premises for sale or
for lease, which sign may be affixed in a conspicuous place on the Premises.

disclose to any person or entity any information, observations, data, or visual
impressions regarding the trade secrets or other confidential business
information of Lessee.

not limited to ordinances of the municipality in which the Premises are located
and restrictive covenants on the Premises

                                       7
<PAGE>

relating to signs, if applicable. All such signs may advertise the Lessee's
business only. No revenue producing signs shall be permitted on the Premises,
and Lessee shall not allow, assign, lease or convey any right to any third
person to place any sign or advertisement on the Premises. Lessee shall not
paint any messages, signs or advertising directly on the improvements located on
the Premises, or otherwise deface, damage or overload the Premises. Lessee shall
remove all signs at the termination of this Lease, and shall repair any damage
to the Premises caused by signs or the removal of the signs at Lessee's sole
cost and expense. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
Lessor expressly reserves the right and privilege to lease a portion of the
Premises for the purposes of erecting signs or advertisements which did not
unreasonably impair or interfere with the right of the Lessee to use the
Premises, and which do not compete with the business of the Lessee.

13. LIABILITY: Lessee hereby releases, waives and relinquishes all claims
against the Lessor, and Lessee hereby assumes all risks and agrees to indemnify
and hold Lessor harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand,
cause of action, costs, damage or expense done or occasioned by or from any
plumbing, wiring, gas, water, steam, sprinkler system, equipment or other pipes,
or the bursting, leaking roof, door or window, leaking or running of any tank,
washstand, water closet, waste pipe or other articles in, above, upon or about
the Premises, or for damage occasioned from or by water, snow, or ice being upon
or about the Premises. Lessor and Lessee hereby expressly waive any cause of
action or right of recovery which either may have hereafter against the other
for any loss or damage to the premises, or to the contents thereof, from all
claims and liabilities arising from or caused by any hazard that are covered by
a standard fire insurance policy with extended coverage and "all risk"
endorsement on the Premises or on the contents thereof, to the extent of any
amounts actually received. Lessee agrees to save and hold Lessor harmless from
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, suit, cause of action, demand, or
expense arising from any injury (including death) to persons or damage to
property occurring in, on or about the Premises, except to the extent caused by
the negligence of the Lessor, its agents and employees.

14. DAMAGE BY CASUALTY: If, during the Term or any Renewal Term(s) or this Lease
and in the sole judgment of Lessor, the Premises suffer damage by fire,
explosion, or any other casualty (a) to the extent that the Premises cannot
reasonably be repaired within 180 days after date of such damage; or, (b) to the
extent the Premises cannot be economically repaired, then this Lease shall, at
the option of Lessor, terminate as to that portion of the Premises so damaged
without penalty to Lessor as of the date of such damage and the Rent allocated
to that portion of the Premises so damaged shall cease as of the date of such
damage, and Lessee shall forthwith surrender that portion of the damaged
Premises to Lessor; provided, however, that this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect as to the remainder of the Premises. If this Lease is not so
terminated, then Lessor shall repair the Premises as soon as reasonably
practicable. It is further agreed that the period for reconstruction shall be
extended for such time during which strikes, riots, civil commotion,
governmental intervention, acts of God, or any other contingency beyond Lessee's
control shall delay the construction. In case of such damage, whether this Lease
is thereby terminated or not, Lessor shall not do anything to hinder or delay
Lesses's work or repair, and will cooperate with Lessee in the performance of
such repair or work. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any business
interruption, loss, liability, property damage, personal injury or inconvenience
to Lessee, or Lessee's employees, agents or contractors by making repairs to any
part of the Premises, or for any restoration to the Premises made by Lessee.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the holder of any
indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises
requires that any or all of the insurance proceeds be applied to such
indebtedness, then Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease without
penalty by delivering written notice of termination to Lessee, whereupon all
rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. Any allocation to
Rent required under this Lease shall be made in accordance with the Allocation
Schedule in Exhibit B, as adjusted on a pro rata basis for subsequent increases
of rent.

15. DEFAULT:

                                       9

            being notified of such breach or violation by Lessor.

      B.    If Lessee commits an event of default, Landlord may, at its
            election:

            1. Declare a forfeiture, terminate this Lease, accelerate the entire
            balance of unpaid Rent and declare same immediately due and payable;

            2. Immediately and without delay re-enter and take possession of the

            3. Remove all Lessee's personal property and fixtures from the
            Premises without liability for damage thereto, and may sell the same
            and apply the proceeds thereof, first, against the cost and expenses
            of such removal or sale, next to the costs of cleaning and restoring
            of the Premises and, next against the unpaid Rent due hereunder; or

            acceptance of a surrender of this Lease or a termination of Tenant's
            liability hereunder, upon such terms as it may see fit, and apply
            the proceeds thereof, first, against the cost and expenses, legal or
            otherwise, incurred as a result of the default, next against the
            retaking of possession and the cleaning and restoring of the
            Premises, next against the costs of reletting the Premises, and then
            against the unpaid Rent due hereunder.

      C.    The rights and remedies provided herein shall be cumulative, and
            Lessor's election of one shall not exclude the exercise any other
            provided herein. Furthermore, the Lessor may proceed and file an
            action at law or in equity to enforce this Lease, and the Lessor
            expressly reserves any and all rights and remedies afforded the
            Lessor at law or in equity. No failure by Lessee to insist upon the
            strict performance of any term or condition of this Lease or to

            thereunder, and no acceptance of full or partial Rent during the
            continuance of any such breach or default shall constitute a waiver
            of any such breach or default of any such term or condition. No term
            or condition of this Lease required to be performed by Tenant, and
            no breach or default thereof, shall be waived, altered, or modified,

            breach or default shall affect or alter any term or condition in
            this Lease, and each such term or condition shall continue in full
            force and effect with respect to any other then existing or
            subsequent breach or default thereof.

                                       11
<PAGE>

16. EMINENT DOMAIN: If eminent domain proceedings result in the partial
condemnation of the Premises thereby leaving part of Premises usable by Lessee
for the purposes of its business, then this Lease shall not terminate and the
Rent for the remainder of the Term or Renewal Term(s) of this Lease shall be
reduced by the amount that the usefulness of the Premises has been reduced, if

liens, to be placed upon the Premises or any building or improvement thereon
during the term hereof as a result of Lessee's actions, and in case of the
filing of any such lien, Lessee shall promptly pay same; provided, however, that
Lessee shall have the right to contest the validity or amount of any such lien
upon posting security in the form or a surety bond or letter of credit with
Lessor which in Lessor's sole discretion and judgment is adequate to pay and
discharge any such lien in full if held valid. Lessee shall have sixty (60) days
after filing of any such lien to pay the lien or post security as provided for

of bill therefore.

19. MORTGAGES AND ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: This Lease shall be subject and
subordinate to any mortgage or deed of trust now or at any time hereafter
constituting a lien or charge upon the Premises or the improvements situated
thereon; provided that Lessee and the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust
shall have entered into a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and
content reasonably acceptable to such parties. Subject to the foregoing, Lessee
shall at any time hereafter on demand execute any instruments, releases or other
documents which may be required by any such mortgagee for the purpose of
subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage. Lessee
shall at any time and from time to time, upon not less than thirty (30) days'
prior request by Lessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor, a statement
in writing certifying that (i) this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or if there have been modifications that the same is in full force and
effect as modified and identifying the modifications), (ii) the dates to which
the Rent and other charges have been paid, and (iii) so far as the person making
the certificate knows, Lessor is not in default under any provisions of this
Lease (or if there are defaults, specifying the defaults). It is intended that
any such statement may be relied upon by any person proposing to acquire
Lessor's interest in this Lease or the Premises, or any prospective mortgagee
of, or assignee of any mortgage upon such interest or the premises.

20. ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES: Lessee, at Lessee's sole expense,

ordinances pertaining to air and water quality, special waste, hazardous waste

law, which shall impose any duty upon Lessor or Lessee with respect to any of
the foregoing.

21. INDEMNIFICATION: Lessee shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lessor harmless
from any and all loss, liability, claims, suits, causes of action, expenses,

of the premises, damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or
usable space or of any amenity of the premises and reasonable sums paid in
settlement of claims, reasonable attorney's fees, reasonable consultant fees,
and reasonable expert fees) arising out of Lessee's or Lessee's employees,
agents or contractors, use or activities on the Premises. Lessee shall
indemnify, defend, and hold Lessor harmless from any and all loss, liability,
claims, suits, causes of action, expenses, costs, judgments, damages, penalties,
or fines (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the premises,
damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any
amenity of the premises and reasonable sums paid in settlement of claims,
reasonable attorney's fees, reasonable consultant fees, and reasonable expert
fees) arising out of air quality, existence of mold or other airborne condition,
or arising out of any deficiency arising out of heating, ventilation and air
conditioning causing abnormal or harmful air quality, mold or other airborne
condition in the Premises. This indemnification of Lessor by Lessee includes,
without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site
conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by
any federal, state, or local government agency or political subdivision because
of release of or existence of any special waste, hazardous waste, or hazardous
material in, on, or under the Premises or groundwater in, on, under, or
migrating to or from the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the
release or presence of any special waste, hazardous waste, or hazardous material
on the Premises is caused or permitted by Lessee or its employees, agents or
contractors, Lessee shall promptly take all actions at its sole expenses as are
necessary to return the Premises to the condition existing prior to the release
of any such special waste, hazardous waste or hazardous material to the
premises; provided, however, that Lessor's approval of such actions shall first
be obtained. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Lease.

22. The submission of this Lease to Lessee shall not be construed as an offer
and Lessee shall not have any rights with respect thereto unless Lessor executes
a copy of this Lease and delivers the same to Lessee.

23. Lessee shall agree to amend this Lease to conform to any reasonable requests
of Lessor's lender or lenders so long as such amendment or amendments do not
adversely affect Lessee's rights pursuant hereto or increase Lessee's duties
with respect hereto.

24. WAIVER: A waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any default or breach hereunder
shall not be construed to be a continuing waiver of such default or breach, nor
as a waiver or permission, expressed or implied, of any other or subsequent
default or breach.
