          specifying  the  acts  or  omissions   constituting  the  failure  and
          requesting  that they be remedied,  but only if the  Executive has not

          that  Executive  shall not be  deprived by reason of  termination  for
          Cause of any payments,  options or benefits  which have been vested or
          have been earned or to which Executive is entitled as of the effective
          date of such termination.

          disability, or other incapacity, the Executive shall fail, for a total

          Executive.  In such event,  the  Executive  shall be (1) paid his Base
          Compensation  until  the  Termination  Date,  and  (2)  provided  with
          employee benefits pursuant to Section 4, to the extent available,  for
          the remainder of the  Employment  Term;  provided,  however,  that any
          compensation  to be paid to the Executive  pursuant to this subsection
          8(a)(ii)  shall  be  offset  against  any  payments  received  by  the
          Executive pursuant to any policy of disability  insurance the premiums
          of which are paid for by the Company.

               (iii) Without  Cause.  The Company may terminate the  Executive's
          employment  hereunder at any time without Cause. If the
          Company terminates the Executive's employment hereunder without Cause,
          other than due to death or  Disability,  the Executive  shall be paid:
          (i) his  Base  Compensation  at the  rate  in  effect  at the  time of
          termination  for a period  ending on the  earlier of (A) the  one-year
          anniversary of the Termination Date or (B) December 31, 2005; (ii) any
          Incentive  Bonus  that  he  would  have  earned  had the  Company  not
          terminated this Agreement without Cause and (iii)  continuation  until
          the  expiration  of the  Employment  Term of the  health  and  welfare
          benefits  of the  Executive  and any  long-term  disability  insurance
          generally  provided to senior  executives  of the Company (as provided
          for  by  Section  4 of  this  Agreement);  provided,  however,  if the
          Executive  obtains  new  employment  and  such  employment  makes  the
          Executive  eligible  for health and  welfare or  long-term  disability
          benefits which are equal to or greater in scope then the benefits then
          being  offered by the  Company,  then the  Company  shall no longer be
          required to provide such benefits to the Executive.

          (b)  Termination  by the  Executive.  The Executive may terminate this
     Agreement at any time upon ninety (90) prior written notice to the Company.
     Unless such  termination  is for Good Reason (as  defined  below),  in such
     event the Company's  sole  obligation to the Executive  shall be to pay the
     Executive  his Base  Compensation  and the benefits  described in Section 4
     hereof,  up to the date of such  termination.  If the Executive  terminates
     this  Agreement  for Good  Reason,  it shall be treated  as if the  Company
     terminated  this  Agreement  without  Cause and the  provisions  of Section
     8(a)(iii) shall apply.

          As used herein,  "Good  Reason" means and shall be deemed to exist if,
     without the prior express written consent of the Executive, (a) the Company
     breaches this Agreement in any material  respect;  (b) the Company fails to
     obtain the full  assumption  of this  Agreement by a successor;  or (c) the
     Company purports to terminate the Executive's employment for Cause and such

                                       6
<PAGE>

     purported  termination of employment is not effected in accordance with the
     requirements of this  Agreement;  provided,  however,  that with respect to
     items (a) and (c) above,  within  fifteen  (15) days of  written  notice of
     termination  by the Executive,  the Company has not cured,  or commenced to
     cure, such failure or breach.

          (c)  Vesting of Stock  Grants and Stock  Options.  In the event of any
     termination of this Agreement,  Executive's rights with regard to any stock
     grants or stock options shall be as set forth in the  respective  agreement
     containing the terms and conditions pertaining thereto. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing,  in the event that the Executive is terminated for reasons other
     than for "Cause" or in the event the Executive  terminates  this  Agreement
     for "Good  Reason," or in the event this  Agreement is terminated by reason
     of Executive's  death,  any stock options then held by the Executive  shall
     immediately  vest in the  Executive  and shall remain  exercisable  for the
     period  specified  in the grant  agreement  notwithstanding  any  provision
     therein to the contrary.

          (d)  Death  Benefit.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this
     Agreement,  this Agreement  shall  terminate on the date of the Executive's
     death.  In such event the Company shall  continue to pay  Executive's  Base
     Compensation  and any Incentive  Bonus that he would have earned had he not
     died to his wife,  if she survives him, or, if she does not survive him, to

     which such death occurs.

               (i)  Specific  Performance.  The  right  and  remedy  to have the
          Restrictive Covenants  specifically enforced by any court of competent
          jurisdiction,  it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of
          the  Restrictive  Covenants  would  cause  irreparable  injury  to the
          Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to
          the Company.

               (ii) Accounting. The right and remedy to require the Executive to
          account  for and pay over to the Company  all  compensation,  profits,
          monies, accruals,  increments or other benefits derived or received by
          the  Executive  as the result of any action  constituting  a breach of
          Restrictive Covenants.

          (c) Severability of Covenants.  The Executive  acknowledges and agrees
     that the  Restrictive  Covenants are  reasonable  and valid in duration and
     geographical scope and in all other respects.  If any court determines that
     any of the  Restrictive  Covenants,  or any part  thereof,  is  invalid  or
     unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby
     be affected  and shall be given full effect  without  regard to the invalid
     portions. The provisions set forth in Section 10 above shall be in addition
     to  any  other  provisions  of  the  business  conduct  and  ethics  policy
     applicable to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries during the term
     of Executive's employment.

          (d)  Saving  Clause.  If the period of time or the area  specified  in
     subsection  (a) above should be adjudged  unreasonable  in any  proceeding,
     then the period of time  shall be  reduced by such  number of months or the
     area shall be reduced by the elimination of such portion thereof or both so
     that such restrictions may be enforced in such area and for such time as is
     adjudged  to  be  reasonable.   If  the  Executive   violates  any  of  the
     restrictions  contained in the foregoing  subsection  (a), the  restrictive
     period  shall  not run in  favor  of the  Executive  from  the  time of the
     commencement  of any such violation until such time as such violation shall
     be cured by the Executive to the satisfaction of Company.

     11.  Executive's  Representation and Warranties.  Executive  represents and
warrants that he has the full right and  authority to enter into this  Agreement
and fully  perform  his  obligations  hereunder,  that he is not  subject to any
non-competition  agreement  other  than  with the  Company,  and that his  past,
present and anticipated  future activities have not and will not infringe on the

                                       10
<PAGE>

proprietary rights of others.  Executive further represents and warrants that he
is not obligated under any contract  (including,  but not limited to,  licenses,
covenants  or  commitments  of any nature) or other  agreement or subject to any
judgment,  decree or order of any court or  administrative  agency  which  would
conflict  with his  obligation  to use his best  efforts to  perform  his duties
hereunder or which would conflict with the Company's  business and operations as
presently  conducted  or proposed to be  conducted.  Neither the  execution  nor
delivery of this  Agreement,  nor the carrying on of the  Company's  business as
officer and employee by Executive  will  conflict  with or result in a breach of
the  terms,  conditions  or  provisions  of or  constitute  a default  under any
contract, covenant or instrument to which Executive is currently a party.

     12. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Integration; Amendment. This Agreement and the Indemnity Agreement
     constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to
     the matters  set forth  herein and  supersedes  and renders of no force and
     effect all prior  understandings  and  agreements  between the parties with
     respect to the matters set forth herein. No amendments or additions to this
     Agreement  shall be binding  unless in writing and signed by both  parties.
     Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or
     limit the Executive's  continuing or future  participation  in any benefit,
     bonus,  incentive or other plan or program  provided or  maintained  by the
     Company and for which the Executive may qualify,  nor shall anything herein
     limit or otherwise  prejudice  such rights as the  Executive may have under
     any  other  existing  or  future  agreements  with the  Company.  Except as
     otherwise  expressly  provided  for in this  Agreement,  amounts  which are
     vested  benefits or which the  Executive is  otherwise  entitled to receive
     under any plans or programs of the Company at or  subsequent to the date of
     termination shall be payable in accordance with such plans or programs.

          (b)  Severability.  If any  part of this  Agreement  is  contrary  to,
     prohibited by, or deemed invalid under applicable law or regulations,  such
     provision  shall be  inapplicable  and  deemed  omitted  to the  extent  so
     contrary, prohibited, or invalid, but the remainder of this Agreement shall
     not be invalid and shall be given full force and effect so far as possible.

          (c) Waivers.  The failure or delay of any party at any time to require
     performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement,  even if
     known,  shall not affect the right of such party to require  performance of

                                       11
<PAGE>

     that provision or to exercise any right,  power, or remedy  hereunder,  and
     any waiver by any party of any breach of any  provision  of this  Agreement
     shall not be construed as a waiver of any  continuing or succeeding  breach
     of such  provision,  a waiver of the provision  itself,  or a waiver of any
     right, power, or remedy under this Agreement. No notice to or demand on any
     party in any case shall, of itself,  entitle such party to other or further
     notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

          (d) Power and  Authority.  The Company  represents and warrants to the
     Executive  that it has the  requisite  corporate  power to enter  into this
     Agreement and perform the terms hereof;  that the  execution,  delivery and
     performance  of  this  Agreement  by it has  been  duly  authorized  by all
     appropriate  corporate action; and that this Agreement represents the valid
     and legally binding obligation of the Company and is enforceable against it
     in accordance with its terms.

          (e) Burden and Benefit; Survival. This Agreement shall be binding upon
     and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective  heirs,
     executors,  personal and legal representatives,  successors and assigns. In
     addition  to,  and  not  in  limitation  of,  anything  contained  in  this
     Agreement,  it is  expressly  understood  and  agreed  that  the  Company's
     obligation  to pay  Termination  Compensation  as set  forth  herein  shall
     survive any termination of this Agreement.

          (f) Governing  Law;  Headings.  This  Agreement and its  construction,
     performance,  and  enforceability  shall be governed  by, and  construed in
     accordance with, the laws of the State of Utah.  Headings and titles herein
     are included  solely for  convenience  and shall not affect,  or be used in
     connection with, the interpretation of this Agreement.

          (g) Jurisdiction. Except as otherwise provided for herein, each of the
     parties  (a)  submits  to the  exclusive  jurisdiction  of any state  court
     sitting in Utah County, Utah or federal court sitting in Utah in any action
     or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that
     all  claims  in  respect  of the  action  or  proceeding  may be heard  and
     determined  in any such  court,  (c)  agrees  not to bring  any  action  or
     proceeding  arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court
     and (d)  waives  any  right  such  party  may have to a trial by jury  with
     respect to any action or  proceeding  arising  out of or  relating  to this
     Agreement.  Each of the parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to
     the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond,
     surety or other  security  that might be  required  of any other party with

                                       12
<PAGE>

     respect thereto.  Any party may make service on another party by sending or
     delivering  a copy of the  process to the party to be served at the address
     and in the manner provided for giving of notices in Section 12(i).  Nothing
     in this  Section,  however,  shall  affect  the right of any party to serve
     legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

          (h) Notices.  All notices called for under this Agreement  shall be in
     writing and shall be deemed given upon receipt if delivered  personally  or
     by  confirmed  facsimile  transmission  and followed  promptly by mail,  or
     mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested),  postage
     prepaid,  to the parties at their  respective  addresses  (or at such other
     address for a party as shall be  specified by like  notice;  provided  that
     notices  of a change  of  address  shall be  effective  only  upon  receipt
     thereof)  as set forth in the  preamble to this  Agreement  or to any other
     address or  addressee  as any party  entitled to receive  notice under this
     Agreement  shall  designate,  from time to time,  to  others in the  manner
     provided in this subsection 12(i) for the service of notices.

          Any notice delivered to the party hereto to whom it is addressed shall
     be deemed  to have been  given  and  received  on the day it was  received;
     provided,  however,  that if such day is not a business day then the notice
     shall be deemed to have been given and  received on the  business  day next
     following  such day.  Any notice sent by  facsimile  transmission  shall be
     deemed to have been given and received on the  business day next  following
     the day of transmission.

          (i) Number of Days.  In  computing  the number of days for purposes of
     this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and
     holidays; provided, however, that if the final day of any time period falls
     on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday on which federal banks are or may elect to
     be  closed,  then the final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is
     not a Saturday, Sunday or such holiday.

         THIS LEASE is entered into as of this 23rd day of December 2003 (the
"Lease Date") between Q Comm International, Inc. ("Tenant") and TCU Properties
I, LLC, a Utah limited liability company ("Landlord").

1. Lease Grant and Term. Landlord, in consideration of the rent to be paid and
the other covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant, does hereby lease,
demise and let unto Tenant certain premises (the "Premises") located in Building
C (the "Building") of Canyon Park Technology Center (the "Park") as shown in
Exhibits A and B hereto commencing on the 1st day of February 2004 (the
"Commencement Date") and ending on midnight on the last day of the month of
January 2009 (the "Term"). In addition to the Premises, Tenant shall have
reasonable access to and use of all access ways, lobbies, lavatories, hallways,
and parking areas common to the Premises and other areas of the Building (the
"Common Areas"), provided that any use of the Common Areas shall be subject to
the rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit C hereto and any other reasonable
rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to time and provide to
Tenant in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have a one time
option, at its sole discretion, to terminate the Lease at the end of three (3)
years from the Commencement Date, by giving written notice to Landlord, one
hundred twenty (120) days prior to the end of the third year, of Tenant's intent
to terminate the Lease at the end of three (3) years. Tenant shall have one (1)
option to renew the Lease for one additional five year term, by giving Landlord
a six (6) month written notice. The Lease rate for the option term shall
continue to increase at the rate of three3% per year.

2. Rent. Tenant shall pay Basic Rent to Landlord the sum of $6,855.75 (the
"Rent") each month in advance (except as outlined above in Basic Lease Terms
under Rent Abatement) on the first day of each month in lawful money of the
United States to Landlord at 1501 N Technology Way Building A, Suite 3300 Orem,
Utah 84097 (or such other address as Landlord shall designate in writing to
Tenant) without notice or demand and without any abatement, deduction or
set-off, for each month of the entire Term. The Rent for the first month shall
be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease. The next
monthly installment of Rent shall be due and payable without demand beginning on
the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month in which the
Commencement Date occurs and continuing thereafter on or before the first day of
each succeeding calendar month during the Lease Term. Rent for any fractional
month at the beginning of the Lease Term shall be prorated based on one-three
hundred sixty-fifth (1/365) of the current annual Rent for each day of the
partial month this Lease is in effect. If all of any sum due under this Lease is
not received within five (5) days of its due date, then Tenant shall pay, in
addition to the sum owed, a late payment charge equal to ten percent (10%) of
the sum (or portion thereof) which is overdue. If a check remitted to pay any
sum due to Landlord hereunder shall not be honored upon presentment for payment,
then Tenant in addition to the amount owed, shall pay to Landlord on demand a
fee of five percent (5%) of the amount owed.

3. Security Deposit. The Security Deposit equal to the last month of Rent of the
Term is due upon execution of the Lease. Landlord shall hold the Security
Deposit without liability for interest and as security for the performance by
Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees that such deposit
will not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Landlord's
damages in case of default by Tenant. Landlord may, from time to time, without
prejudice to any other remedy, use such deposit to make good any arrearage in
any amount due hereunder and to reimburse Landlord for any other damage, injury,
expense or liability caused to Landlord by any breach of this Lease. Following

                                       5

any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on
demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its
original amount.

4. Utilities, Services, and Furniture. Subject to the following limitations,
Landlord shall furnish Tenant while Tenant is occupying the Premises and
performing all of its obligations under this Lease (i) heating, ventilation, and

Saturday, except Holidays. "Holidays" means New Year's Day, Martin Luther King
Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day, the Friday following Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. After hours heating,
ventilating, air conditioning (HVAC) shall be charged at the rate of $5.00 per

of such service plus an additional charge of 15% of such cost to cover overhead.
(ii) janitorial service to the Common Areas and Premises as is reasonably

hereinafter defined) and such window-washing as may from time to time in
Landlord's judgment reasonably be required; (iii) elevator service in common

fluorescent tubes; and (v) electric power in the Premises sufficient to furnish
power for lighting, personal computers, typewriters, voice writers, calculating
machines and other machines of similar low electrical consumption standard to
executive offices. Also, Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas of the
Building in reasonably good order and condition; provided, however, that Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing any damage to such areas
occasioned by Tenant, or its employees, contractors, agents or invitees.
Landlord's obligation to make available the utilities described in this
Paragraph 4 is subject to the rules and regulations of the suppliers of
utilities and of any municipal or other governmental authority regulating the
business of providing utility services. Landlord shall not be responsible or
liable to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense that Tenant may sustain or
incur if either the quantity or character of any utility service is changed.
Landlord's failure to any extent to make available, or any slowdown, stoppage or
interruption of, the services set forth in this Paragraph 4 resulting from any
cause beyond Landlord's control shall not render Landlord liable in any respect
for damages to person, property or business, nor be construed an eviction of
Tenant or work an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfilling any
covenant or agreement hereof; however, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts
(and shall not be required to employ any workers at overtime rates) to resume
said services in a timely manner. Subject to availability, Landlord shall
provide furniture for the Premises at no additional cost from existing inventory
in the Park, provided such furniture is not being used by Landlord or other
tenants or is not reasonably reserved for other tenants. Tenant is responsible
for any damage to such furniture used by Tenant, normal wear and tear excepted

THOROUGHLY EXAMINED THE PREMISES AND TAKES AND ACCEPTS THE PREMISES IN ITS "AS
IS" CONDITION ON THE COMMENCEMENT DATE, (B) LANDLORD AND LANDLORD'S AGENTS AND
EMPLOYEES HAVE MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDITION OF THE

COMMITMENTS TO REMODEL, REPAIR OR REDECORATE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH
HEREIN AND (C) LANDLORD EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT THE

<PAGE>

products (the "Permitted Use"). Tenant shall not occupy or use the Premises, or
permit any portion of the Premises to be occupied or used, for any business or
purpose other than the Permitted Use or for any use or purpose which is unlawful
in part or in whole or deemed by Landlord to be disreputable in any manner, nor
permit anything to be done that will in any way invalidate or increase the rate
of insurance on the Building or its contents. Tenant shall promptly upon demand
reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for any such insurance by
reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph.
Tenant will conduct its business and control its agents, employees and invitees
in such a manner as not to create any nuisance, interfere with, annoy or disturb
other tenants or interfere with Landlord in the management of the Building, the
Property or the Park. Tenant will maintain the Premises in a clean, healthful
and safe condition and will comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules,
regulations, or restrictions of or recorded by all state, federal, municipal and
other agencies or bodies having jurisdiction over the Premises and governing the
use, condition or occupancy of the Premises, whether existing as of the
Commencement Date or enacted subsequent thereto.

7. Repairs and Alterations. Tenant shall keep and maintain the Premises in a
good, clean condition of repair and maintenance. Tenant shall not damage or
injure the Premises. Tenant further agrees not to commit or allow any waste or
damage to be committed on any portion of the Building or Premises, and at the
termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall deliver
up the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as at the Commencement Date,
ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall not, without the prior written
consent of Landlord, paint, install permanent lighting or permanent decorations
(except wall hangings), or install any signs, window or door lettering or
advertising media of any type on or about the Building or Premises, or any part
thereof, or make any other alterations, improvements or physical additions in or
to the Building or Premises, or any park thereof. At the termination of the
Lease, at Landlord's option and subject to the Landlord's right to retain
improvements desired by Landlord, Tenant shall remove its alterations,
additions, and improvements, and restore any portions of the Premises altered,
added to, or improved by Tenant to the original condition.

8. Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by
operation of law, assign all or any portion of this Lease, including without
limitation any mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, grant of security interest in,
or other encumbrance of this Lease, nor sublet the Premises or any part thereof,
nor permit the Premises or any part thereof to be occupied by any person other
than Tenant or Tenant's employees, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease, without the consent of Landlord, in
whole or in part (a) to a wholly-owned, direct or indirect subsidiary or
affiliate of Tenant that will assume the obligations of Tenant hereunder, (b) in
the event of a merger of Tenant (in which Tenant is not the surviving entity),
or (c) in the event of a transfer, purchase or sale of all or part of the stock,
assets or business of Tenant (of which the operations or activities of Tenant at
the Leased Premises constitute a part); provided that Tenant shall remain fully
liable for the fulfillment of all such obligations under the Lease which
assignment will not be unreasonably withheld by the Landlord and, (i) Subject to
the foregoing, if Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or
any part thereof, Tenant shall so notify Landlord at least thirty (30) days
prior to the date on which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease,
which notice shall contain all material terms of the proposed assignment or
sublease and financial information regarding the proposed assignee or subtenant
as a condition of such sublease or assignment, Landlord may require plans to
verify compliance with Building and fire codes. Landlord may assess its
reasonable out of pocket costs for review of such plans. If Tenant desires to
sublet more than 50% of the RA of the Premises, Landlord shall have the option

                                       7
<PAGE>

within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to notify Tenant in writing
that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as of the date specified by Tenant
for such subletting. If Landlord fails to timely exercise the foregoing
recapture right or if the requested sublease does not trigger a recapture right
on behalf of Landlord, then Landlord shall have twenty (20) business days after
receipt of such notice to notify Tenant whether Landlord consents to a
assignment or subletting. Without limiting Landlord's discretion to consent to a
proposed subletting, and in addition to such other factors that Landlord may
deem pertinent, Tenant acknowledges that in to event will a proposed subletting
be approved by Landlord (a) the sublessee under any such subletting shall be
such person or entity as in Landlord's judgment is of a character and engaged in
a business such as is in keeping with the standards of the Park and its
occupancy, (b) the sublessee shall have sufficient net worth to perform its
obligations under its sublease, (c) the sublessee shall not be a (i) government
or a governmental authority or a subdivision or an agency of any government or
any governmental authority, (ii) a tenant of Landlord elsewhere in the Park,
(iii) an entity or person with whom Landlord has negotiated (for purposes
hereof, "negotiated" shall mean exchanging of written proposals, leases being
prepared or drafts distributed and modified) for a proposed lease of space in
the Park at any time during the six (6) month period prior to the receipt of
said notice by Landlord or (iv) competitor of Landlord and (d) the space so to
be sublet shall be regular in shape.

                  (b) If Landlord consents to any subletting or assignment by
Tenant as hereinabove provided and the rent, additional rent and other
consideration received by Tenant under or relating to such sublease exceeds the
Adjusted Rental payable to Landlord under this Lease, or if Tenant receives any
consideration from the assignee under any such assignment, then 100% of such
excess rents and consideration under or relating to such sublease or 100% of
such consideration for any assignment shall automatically be due and payable by
Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder.

     (c) Landlord may transfer and assign, in whole or in part, its rights and
obligations hereunder concurrently with the transfer and assignment of all or
any portion of the Park and in such event and upon assumption by the transferee
of Landlord's obligations hereunder (any such transferee to have the benefit of,
and be subject to, the provisions of this Lease), no further liability or
obligation shall thereafter accrue against Landlord hereunder.

     (d) If Tenant is a corporation, then any merger, consolidation, dissolution
or liquidation, or any change (whether in one or a series of transactions) in
ownership or power to vote of fifty percent (50%) or more of its outstanding
voting stock shall constitute an assignment of this Lease requiring, except as
otherwise specified herein, the consent of Landlord. If Tenant is a partnership,
joint venture or other entity, then any liquidation or dissolution, or any
transfer of ownership of interests totaling fifty percent (50%) or more of the
total interests in such entity (whether in one or a series of transactions)
shall constitute an assignment of this Lease requiring, except as otherwise
specified herein, the consent of Landlord. The provisions of this clause (d)
shall not be applicable so long as the stock of Tenant is traded at a recognized
regional stock exchange.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     (e) Tenant agrees that it shall not place (or permit the placement of) any
signs on or about the Premises or the Park, nor conduct (or permit anyone to
conduct) any public advertising which includes any pictures, renderings,
sketches or other representations of any Building (or a portion thereof) with
respect to any proposed assignment or subletting of the Premises, without
Landlord's prior written consent. In all events, Tenant shall comply with all
applicable governmental regulations.

     (f) Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber
(or grant a security interest in) this Lease or any of Tenant's rights
hereunder, without Landlord's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. The time frames governing Tenant's request for consent and
Landlord's response shall be the same as set forth in paragraph 8 (a), above,
for assignment or subletting.

     (g) Except as otherwise specified herein, Landlord may terminate this Lease
if Tenant sells, transfers, exchanges, distributes, or otherwise disposes of
more than forty percent (40%) of its assets (except in the ordinary course of
business, in a public offering of Tenant's stock, or in a merger or acquisition)
unless after such disposition, the net worth of Tenant as demonstrated to the
reasonable satisfaction of Landlord is an amount acceptable to Landlord.

     (h) Except as otherwise specified herein, if Tenant assigns this Lease or
sublets all or substantially all of the Premises, any option then held by Tenant
(such as an option to renew this Lease or to expand the size of the Premises)
shall terminate automatically upon the assignment or sublease unless approved
otherwise by Landlord.

     (i) Tenant shall pay Landlord's  reasonable  expenses incurred in reviewing
any request by Tenant under this Paragraph upon demand.

(j) If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet or used or occupied by anyone
other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may,
after default by Tenant and expiration of Tenant's time to cure such default,
collect rent from the subtenant or occupant. Landlord may apply the net amount
collected to the Adjusted Rental, but no such subletting, occupancy or
collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Paragraph
or the acceptance of the subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant
from the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord's
consent to any subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not relieve Tenant
of its obligation to obtain Landlord's written consent to any other subletting,
use or occupancy by others.

8. Indemnity. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss
or damage to any property or person occasioned by theft, act of God, public
enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or
order of governmental body or authority, or for any damage or inconvenience that
may arise through repair or alteration of any part of the Building or any part
of the Park, or failure to make any such repairs unless caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant, or to Tenant's agents, servants, employees, customers or
invitees for, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord of
and from, all fines, suits, claims, demands, losses, liabilities, actions and
costs (including court costs and attorneys' fees, at trial and on appeal)
arising in whole or in part from (i) any injury to person or damage to property
caused by any negligent act or omission of Tenant, Tenant's agents, servants,
employees, customers or invitees, (ii) Tenant's negligent use of the Premises or

                                       9
<PAGE>

the negligent conduct of Tenant's business or profession, (iii) any negligent
activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the
Premises or (iv) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on
Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease.

     (a) Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its
affiliates and its or their officers, directors, employees and agents,
("Landlord's Indemnities") from and against any and all claims arising from or
in connection with (i) any negligent act or any condition negligently created in
the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, invitees or contractors,
or (ii) any accident, bodily injury (including death) or damage to property,
including damage to property or injury of Tenant or its employees, agents,
contractors, or invitees occurring in the Premises and resulting from Tenant's
negligence, unless (i) caused by the negligence of Landlord, its agents,
employees, or contractors, or (ii) caused by or relating to any breach or
default by Landlord in the full and prompt performance of Landlord's obligations
under this Lease which remains uncured beyond a reasonable period of time after
Landlord is given notice thereof by Tenant.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Tenant shall look solely
to Landlord's interests in the Park in the event of any claim against Landlord
arising out of this Lease. No other properties or assets of Landlord or any
agent or employee of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other
enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any remedy of Tenant arising out
of this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for consequential damages
arising out of any loss of use of the Demised Premises or any equipment or
facilities therein by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant.

     (c) Tenant shall maintain a policy of comprehensive general liability
insurance pertaining to its use and occupancy of the Premises hereunder, with
the premiums thereof fully paid in advance, issued by and binding upon a solvent
insurance company qualified to do business in the State of Utah, such insurance
to name Landlord as an additional insured. Such policy shall afford minimum
protection of not less One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined
single limit for bodily injury, death to any one person, or property damage in
any one occurrence. Additionally, Tenant shall obtain and maintain "all risk"
insurance in respect to Tenant's stock in trade, fixtures, furnishings, floor
covering, equipment and all other property of Tenant in the Premises, insuring
100% insurable value of such property. Landlord and the Tenant hereby waive any
and all rights of recovery against the other or against the officers, agents,
employees, and representatives of loss or damage occasioned to the Tenant or its
property or the property of others under its control, to the extent that such
loss or damage is covered under any insurance policies carried by the Landlord
or the Tenant, as the case may be, and in force at the time of such loss or
damage.

9.   Subordination. This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and
shall be subject and subordinate to any deeds of trust, mortgages or other
instruments of security ("Security Instruments"), as well as to any ground
leases or primary leases ("Master Leases"), that now or hereafter cover any of
the Property or any interest of Landlord therein, and to any and all advances
made on the security thereof, and to any and all increases, renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Landlord
hereby expressly reserves the right, at its option and declaration, to place
Security Instruments and Master Leases on and against any of the Building or
Premises or any interest of Landlord therein, superior in effect to this Lease
and the estate created hereby. This clause shall be self-operative and no
further instrument of subordination need be required, however, upon Landlord's
request, or upon the request of any holder (a "Holder") under any Security
Instrument, or of any lessor (a "Lessor") under any Master Lease, Tenant shall

                                       10
<PAGE>

execute promptly any instrument (including without limitation an amendment to
this Lease that does not materially and adversely affect Tenant's rights or
duties under this Lease) or instruments intended to subordinate this Lease or to
evidence the subordination of this Lease to any such Security Instrument or
Master Lease. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord Tenant's attorney in fact to
execute any such instrument for and on behalf of Tenant. In the event of the
enforcement by a Holder under any Security Instrument of the remedies provided
for by law or by such Security Instrument, or in the event of the termination of
any Master Lease, the Holder or the Lessor may continue this Lease in full force
and effect as a direct lease between such Holder or Lessor and Tenant. If the
Holder or Lessor continues this lease, Tenant will attorn to and automatically
become the tenant of such successor in interest without change in the terms or
other provisions of this Lease (Tenant hereby waiving any right Tenant may have
to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises) and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that such successor
in interest shall not be bound by or liable for any payment of Rent for more
than one month in advance., Upon request by any Holder, Lessor or successor in
interest to either, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument confirming
this attornment herein provided for. Tenant agrees that any Holder or Lessor may
at any time subordinate any rights which Holder or Lessor may hold to the rights
of Tenant under this Lease.

10. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply fully with the rules and
regulations of the Building and the Park attached hereto as Exhibit C, and any
applicable restrictive covenants, which may be attached hereto as Exhibit C-1,
which exhibits are made a part hereof as though fully set out herein. Tenant
shall further be responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations
by the employees, servants, agents, contractors, visitors and invitees of
Tenant. Landlord reserves the right to amend or rescind any of the rules and
regulations and to make such other and further rules and regulations as in its
reasonable judgment shall from time to time be prudent in the operation and

prospective tenants, purchasers or lenders.

12. Condemnation and Casualty. If all or a substantial portion of the Premises
shall be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of
condemnation, eminent domain or expropriation, or in the event of conveyance of
all of the Premises in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as of the day

taking or conveyance, whether for the whole or a part of the Premises or
Building, shall be property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord
all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to any and all such awards and
compensation. If the Premises or the Building shall be destroyed or materially
damaged and Landlord is unable to restore the Premises or the Building to an
acceptable condition within a reasonable amount of time, then either party may

occurrence of the casualty, and this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the
casualty.

13. Holding Over. Should Tenant hold over in the Premises, without the written

conditions of this Lease. The inclusion of the preceding sentence shall not be
construed as Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold over.

14. Default. If Tenant or Guarantor (i) fails to pay when due any Rent or other
sum payable by Tenant hereunder and such failure continues for a period of five
(5) days after written notice to Tenant by Landlord, (ii) fails to comply with
or observe any other provision of this Lease within fifteen (15) days after

creditors or an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) files or is named
as a debtor in a bankruptcy petition, or (v) fails to utilize all or
substantially all of the Premises for the Permitted Use for ten (10) or more
consecutive days, Landlord may pursue any and all remedies which it may then
have hereunder or at law or in equity, including, without limitation the
following:

     (a) Without releasing Tenant from liability for the remainder of the Term,
Landlord may Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant immediately shall
surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may,
without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or
arrearage in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises. Tenant agrees
to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss, cost, expense and damage
which Landlord may suffer or incur by reason of such termination, including
without limitation any loss caused by Landlord's inability (after a commercially
reasonable effort) to relet the Premises on terms or conditions reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord.

     (b) Without releasing Tenant from liability for the remainder of the Term,
Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises by virtue of the
laws of the State of Utah for summary proceedings for possession of real estate
or such other proceeding as may be applicable, and if Landlord so elects, relet
all or any part of the Premises on such terms as Landlord shall deem advisable
(including, without limitation, such concessions and free rent as Landlord deems
necessary or desirable) and receive and retain all of the rent therefor; and
Tenant agrees (i) to pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency that may arise by
reason of such reletting for the remainder of the Lease Term, and (ii) that
Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents or other payments received by Landlord
in connection with such reletting even if such rents and other payments are in
excess of the amounts that would otherwise be payable to Landlord under this
Lease. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord
incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers'
commissions, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the
reletting and in connection with Tenant's default hereunder, expenses of
repairing, altering and remodeling the Premises required by the reletting, and
like costs. Tenant expressly acknowledges that Landlord has no duty to relet the
Premises, that Landlord may offer all or any part of the Premises for any
period, to any tenant and for any use which Landlord may elect, and that
Landlord may offer for lease any vacant space in the Project Buildings prior to
offering the Premises for lease.

     (c) Landlord may make such payments or enter upon the Premises, and perform
whatever Tenant is obligated to pay or perform under the terms of this Lease;
and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenditures and
expenses (together with interest thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%)
from the date paid by Landlord) which Landlord may make or incur in thus
effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

     (d) If Landlord takes possession of the Premises as permitted herein,
Landlord may keep in place and use all furniture, fixtures and equipment at the
Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Tenant at all times
prior to any foreclosure thereon by Landlord or repossession thereof by a lessor

                                       12
<PAGE>

or third party having a lien thereon. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs
incurred by Landlord in connection with any removal, disposal, or storage of
Tenant's personal property and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from
all loss, damage, cost, expense and liability in connection with such removal,
disposal, or storage. Landlord's rights herein are in addition to any other
rights Landlord may have at law or equity.

15. Landlord's Liability. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease
unless and until it fails to perform an obligation hereunder within fifteen (15)
days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying the obligation which
Landlord has not performed. However, if Landlord's obligation reasonably
requires more than 15 days for its performance, Landlord shall not be in default
if it commences performance within such 15 day period and uses reasonable
efforts to complete the same. Tenant has no right to claim any nature of lien
against the Building or to withhold, deduct from or offset against any Rent or
other sums to be paid to Landlord. All obligations of Landlord hereunder are
binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Building or
Premises. The term "Landlord" means only the owner, for the time being, of the
Building or Premises. In the event of the transfer by such owner of its interest
in the Building or Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released and
discharged from all covenants and obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing,
but such covenants and obligations shall be binding during the Lease Term upon
each new owner for the duration of such owner's ownership. Any liability of
Landlord to Tenant relating to this Lease shall be limited to the interest of
Landlord in the Premises, and Landlord shall not be personally liable for any
deficiency.

16. Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought to
enforce any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on the part of Landlord or
Tenant, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to
reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by the court therein.

17. Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees to furnish from time to time when
requested by (a) Landlord, (b) a Holder or a Lessor, or (c) any prospective
Holder, Lessor or purchaser of the Building, a certificate signed by Tenant
confirming such factual certifications and representations as to the terms and
conditions of this Lease and amendments, if any, as may be deemed appropriate by
Landlord or any such Holder, Lessor, or purchaser, and Tenant shall, within
fifteen (15) days following Tenant's receipt of said proposed certificate from
Landlord, return a fully executed copy of said certificate to Landlord. In the
event Tenant fails to return a fully executed copy of such certificate to
Landlord within said fifteen-day period, then Tenant conclusively shall be
deemed to have approved and confirmed all of the terms, certifications and
representations contained in such certificate.

18. Notices. Any notice, request or documents (excluding Rent and other
payments) permitted or required to be delivered hereunder must be in writing and
shall be deemed delivered upon receipt if actually received and whether or not
received when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified
mail (with return receipt requested), addressed to Tenant and Landlord at the
respective addresses set forth in this paragraph or at such other address as
either of said parties have theretofore specified by written notice delivered in

interest and legal representatives, except as otherwise herein expressly
