subsequent calendar year, commencing with the year 2003, Tenant shall not be

                   i. If the Commencement Date of this Lease is a day other than
the first day of a month, or if the Termination Date of this Lease is a day
other than the last day of a month, the amount of Additional Rent shown as due
by Tenant on the Statement of Actual Adjustment shall reflect a proration based
on the ratio of the number of days this Lease was in effect during the month to
the actual number of days in the month.

                   ii. If any data necessary to calculate Additional Rent are
unavailable so that the calculation cannot be timely made, Landlord's estimate

the Estimated Operating Expenses and Actual Operating Expenses shall be prorated
for said year. If the Lease Agreement shall expire or other wise terminate with

building permit application for the Improvements Items shall be the
responsibility of Tenant.

continues to pay all sums due hereunder and otherwise complies with the terms
hereof, it shall not be considered abandonment.

         2. Assignment or Sublease. Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by
operation of law, assign, encumber, pledge, or otherwise transfer or hypothecate
all or any part of Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder, or permit the Leased
Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant's employees, or
sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, without Landlord's prior
written consent in every instance. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of
such desire at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which Tenant
desires to make such assignment or sublease, which notice shall include the
name, address, evidence of financial capability, and other pertinent information
regarding the proposed assignee or sublessee.

              a. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of
any obligations under this Lease Agreement. If Tenant is a corporation,
partnership, trust, or other legal fictional entity, the transfer of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the beneficial ownership of Tenant shall be deemed an
assignment of this Lease Agreement. Any attempted transfer by Tenant without the
consent of Landlord shall be null and void and, at the option of Landlord, shall
cause termination of this Lease Agreement. The giving of consent by Landlord in
one instance shall not preclude the need for Tenant, and its successors and
assigns, to obtain Landlord's consent to further transfers.

              b. In the event Tenant shall propose to assign or sublet the
Leased Premises and request the consent of Landlord to any assignment or
subletting, or if Tenant shall request consent of Landlord to any other act
Tenant proposes to do, as herein provided, then Tenant shall pay Landlord's
reasonable attorney's fees incurred in connection therewith. Any assignment or
subletting shall not relieve Tenant from responsibility under the Lease
Agreement, and Tenant

<PAGE>

shall therefore remain liable for the faithful performance of the Lease
Agreement in case of breach or default by assignee or sublessee.

              c. If the proposed Base Rental between Tenant and any Sublessee is
greater the Base Rental of this lease, then such excess rental shall be deemed
Additional Rent owed by Tenant to Landlord.

              d. Tenant shall not publicly advertise the Rent for which Tenant
is willing to sublet the space; and all public advertisements of the assignment
of the Lease Agreement or sublet of Leased Premises, or any portion thereof,
shall be subject to prior approval in writing by Landlord.

              e. In any assignment or transfer, each assignee or transferee,
other than Landlord, shall assume, as provided herein, all obligations of the
Tenant under this Lease Agreement which relate to all or a portion of the Leased
Premises assigned or sublet, as the case may be, and shall be and remain liable
jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of the Rent and for due
performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements herein
contained on Tenant's part to be performed during the term of this Lease
Agreement.

              f. No consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting by
Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by the Tenant
under this Lease Agreement, whether accruing before or after such assignment or
subletting, unless granted by Landlord to Tenant in writing. The consent by
Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the
obligation to obtain Landlord's express written consent to any other assignment
or subletting. Any assignment or subletting which is not in compliance with this
Lease Agreement shall be void, and, at the option of Landlord, shall constitute
a material default by Tenant under this Lease Agreement.

         3. Attorney's Fees. In the event either party places the enforcement of
this Lease Agreement, or any part thereof, or the collection of any rent due, or
to become due hereunder, or recovery of the possession of the Leased Premises in
the hands of an attorney, or files suit upon the same, the nonprevailing (or
defaulting) party shall pay the other party's reasonable attorney's fees and
court costs, in any proceeding, whether at trial, or appeal therefrom, or on any
petition for review, or in bankruptcy.

         4. Binding. Each individual executing this Lease Agreement on behalf of
Tenant and Landlord represents and warrants that he/she is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Lease Agreement on behalf of Tenant and Landlord, and
that this Lease Agreement is binding upon each in accordance with its terms.
This Lease Agreement shall not be considered binding until it has been fully
executed by Landlord and Tenant.

         5. Care of Leased Premises. Tenant shall not commit or allow any waste
or damage to be committed on any portion of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall
not permit the Leased Premises to be used for any purpose other than stated in
the Lease Agreement.

<PAGE>

              a. No later than the last day of the Term, Tenant will remove all
Tenant's personal property and repair all damage done by or in connection with
installation or removal of said property and surrender the Leased Premises
(together with all keys, access cards, or entrance passes to the Leased Premises
and/or the Project) in as good a condition as they were at the beginning of the
Term, reasonable wear and tear, unrepaired casualty not caused by Tenant, and
condemnation excepted. All property of Tenant remaining in the Leased Premises
after expiration of the Term shall be deemed conclusively abandoned and may be
removed by Landlord, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of
removing the same, subject, however, to Landlord's right to require Tenant to
remove any improvements or additions made to the Leased Premises by Tenant
pursuant to this Lease Agreement.

              b. In doing any work related to the installation of Tenant's
furnishings, fixtures, or equipment in the Leased Premises, Tenant will use only
contractors or workmen consented to by Landlord in writing prior to the time
such work is commenced. Landlord may condition its consent upon its receipt of
evidence of workers compensation insurance acceptable lien waivers from such
contractors or workmen. Tenant shall promptly remove any lien or claim of lien
for material or labor claimed against the Leased Premises or Project, or both,
by such contractors or workmen, if such claim should arise, and hereby
indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, cost,
damage, expense, or liabilities including, but not limited to, attorney's fees
incurred by Landlord as a result of or in any way related to such claims or such
liens.

              c. Tenant agrees that all personal property brought into the
Leased Premises by Tenant, its employees, licensees, and invitees shall be at
the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable for theft thereof or
of money deposited therein or for any damages thereto, such theft or damage
being the sole responsibility of Tenant.

              d. Upon termination of this Lease Agreement Landlord shall have
the right to reenter and resume possession of the Leased Premises. Landlord's
costs of post termination cleanup required to return the Leased Premises to as
good a condition as existed at time of occupancy by Tenant, with normal wear and
tear excepted, shall be billed to and promptly paid by Tenant.

         6. Choice of Law. All rights and remedies of Landlord and Tenant under
this Lease Agreement shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other rights
or remedies allowed by law. All of the terms hereof shall be construed and
enforced according to the laws of the State in which the Leased Premises are
located.

         7. Common Areas--Utility Access. The Leased Premises shall include the
appurtenant right to use, in common with others, the lobbies, entrances, stairs,
elevators, restrooms, and other public portions of the Project. Landlord retains
the right to make changes in the common areas as it solely deems to be in the
best interest of the Project. All of the outside

<PAGE>

walls and windows of the Leased Premises, and any space in the Leased Premises
used for shafts, stacks, pipes, conduits, ducts, and electric or other
utilities, custodial sinks or other Project facilities, are part of the rentable
area of the Leased Premises; however, the right to the use thereof and access
thereto through the Leased Premises for the purposes of operation, maintenance,
and repair, are reserved to Landlord.

         8. Condition of Premises. Tenant's taking possession of the Leased
Premises shall be deemed conclusive evidence that, as of the date of taking
possession, the Leased Premises are in good order and satisfactory condition. No
promise of Landlord to alter or remodel, repair, or improve the Lease Premises
or the Project, and no representation, express or implied, respecting any matter
or thing relating to the Leased Premises, the Project or this Lease Agreement,
including, without limitation, the condition of the Leased Premises, has been
made to Tenant by Landlord other than as may be contained herein or in a
separate Exhibit or Addendum attached to this Lease Agreement and incorporated
herein or separately signed by Landlord and Tenant.

         9. Damage to Leased Premises. If all or a portion of the Leased
Premises are rendered untenantable by damage from any casualty insured against
under a standard fire and extended coverage insurance policy, the damage shall
be repaired forthwith by and at the expense of Landlord, provided such repairs
can be, in Landlord's opinion, completed within one hundred twenty (120) days
after notice to Landlord of the occurrence of such damage, without the payment
of repair, overtime or other premiums. Except as set forth herein below, until
such repairs are completed, the rent shall be abated in proportion to the part
of the Leased Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its
business. Should the damage be caused by a casualty not insured against under a
standard fire and extended coverage insurance policy, Landlord shall have no
obligation to repair or rebuild. Should Landlord elect not to repair or rebuild,
this lease may be terminated by thirty (30) days' notice to tenant. There shall
be no abatement of rent by reason of any portion of the Leased Premises being
unusable for a period of less than two days. Landlord's opinion as to completion
date of any repair shall be given to Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days
of the occurrence of the damage.

         10. Damage or Destruction --Tenant's Election to Terminate. In case of
any significant damage or destruction mentioned herein, which Landlord is
required or undertakes to repair as provided herein, Tenant may terminate this
Lease Agreement by written notice to Landlord any time prior to completion of
the required repairs if Landlord has not restored and rebuilt the Leased
Premises (exclusive of any property of Tenant or improvements installed by
Tenant located therein) to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately prior to such damage or destruction within one hundred twenty (120)
days after notice to Landlord of the occurrence of such damage or destruction,
or such longer period as Landlord has estimated, plus such additional period
thereafter (not exceeding six months) as shall equal the aggregate period
Landlord may have been delayed in doing so by acts of God, adjustment of
insurance, labor trouble, governmental controls, unavailability of materials, or
any other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control.

<PAGE>

         11. Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Lease Agreement, Landlord shall not have any obligation
whatsoever to repair, reconstruct, or restore the Leased Premises or the Project
when such damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease term or
any extension thereof, and when the cost of repair exceeds twenty percent (20%)
of the value of the Leased Premises or the Project.

         12. Events of Default by Tenant. The following shall constitute events
of default by Tenant: (a) If Tenant shall fail to make any payment due under
this Lease Agreement, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after
written notice by Landlord; (b) if a default exists in the performance of any of
the other covenants or conditions which Tenant is required to observe and to
perform, and such default shall continue for twenty (20) days after written
notice by Landlord; (c) if the interest of Tenant under this Lease Agreement is
levied upon, or is under execution or other legal process, or if any petition
shall be filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant as bankrupt or to delay,
reduce, or modify Tenant's debts or obligations; (d) if any petition shall be
filed or other action taken to reorganize or modify Tenant's capital structure
if Tenant be a corporation or other entity; (e) if Tenant is declared insolvent,
or if any assignment of Tenant's property is made for the benefit of creditors
or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for Tenant or its property; (f) if
Tenant vacates or abandons the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease
Agreement or any extensions thereof; or (g) if Tenant makes any transfer of any
interest in the Leased Premises not in accordance with the requirements of this
Lease Agreement, then Landlord may treat the occurrence of any one or more of
the foregoing events as a breach of this Lease Agreement and thereupon, at
Landlord's option, Landlord shall have one or more of the following described
remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in
equity:

              a.Landlord may terminate this Lease Agreement and forthwith, in
accordance with applicable law, repossess the Leased Premises and remove all
persons or property therefrom, and be entitled to recover as damages a sum of
money equal to the total of (i) the cost of recovering the Leased Premises (ii)
the unpaid rent owed thereon from due date plus interest thereon at the rate of
18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is
lower, (iii) the present value of the balance of the rent for the remainder of
the term, discounted to the present at 8% per annum, and (iv) any other sum of
money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord;

              b. Landlord shall also be entitled to terminate Tenant's right of
possession in accordance with applicable law and to repossess the Leased
Premises, without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant, by summary
proceedings, any other applicable action or proceeding, or otherwise, all
without terminating this Lease Agreement, in which event Landlord may, but shall
be under no obligation to, relet the same for the account of Tenant for such
rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord. None of these
actions will be deemed an acceptance of surrender of the Leased Premises. For
the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to decorate or to make any
repairs, changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Leased Premises that
may be necessary or convenient, and (i) if Landlord shall fail or refuse to
relet the Leased

<PAGE>

Premises, or (ii) if the same are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be
realized from such reletting, after paying the unpaid Base Rental due hereunder
earned or unpaid at the time of reletting, plus interest thereon at the rate set
forth herein, the cost of recovering possession, and all of the costs and
expenses of such decoration, repairs, changes, alterations, and additions, and
the expense of such reletting, and of the collection of the rent accruing
therefrom to satisfy the payment of the rent provided for in this Lease
Agreement, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the
amount of the rental reserved in this Lease Agreement for such period or
periods, or if the Leased Premises have been relet, Tenant shall satisfy and pay
any such deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time; and Tenant agrees
that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of
this Lease Agreement from time to time on one or more occasions without Landlord
being obligated to wait until expiration of the term of this Lease Agreement and
without barring or affecting in any manner Landlord's right to bring a later
action or actions for further damages; nor shall such reletting be construed as
an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease Agreement unless a
written notice of such intention be given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding
any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter
elect to terminate this Lease Agreement for such previous breach.

              c. Without prejudice to any other remedy for default, Landlord may
perform any obligation or make any payment required to cure a default by Tenant.
The cost of performance, including attorneys' fees and all disbursements, shall
immediately be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent.

         13. Defects. Tenant agrees to report in writing to Landlord any
defective condition in or about the Leased Premises known to Tenant, and further
agrees to attempt to contact Landlord by telephone immediately in such instance.

         14. Eminent Domain

              a. In the event the Leased Premises are taken pursuant to powers
of eminent domain, all awards for the taking other than awards for interruption
of Tenant's business shall belong solely to Landlord, and Tenant shall make no
claim therefor.

              b. In the event of a partial taking, which does not result in a
termination of this Lease Agreement, rent shall be abated in proportion to the
part of the Leased Premises so made unusable by said partial taking, and any
award for the taking shall belong solely to Landlord.

              c. No temporary taking of the Leased Premises and/or of Tenant's
rights therein or under this Lease Agreement shall terminate this Lease
Agreement or give Tenant any right to any abatement of rent hereunder; and any
award made to Tenant by reason of any such temporary taking shall belong
entirely to Tenant, and Landlord shall not be entitled to share therein. The
Tenant and Landlord will work together to cause the governmental agency

<PAGE>
responsible for the taking to restore the Leased Premises and Project, after the
taking, to their original condition prior to the taking.

              d. If the whole of the Leased Premises, or so much thereof as to
render the balance unusable by Tenant, shall be taken by any governmental
authority under power of Eminent Domain, this Lease Agreement shall
automatically terminate as of the date of such condemnation, or as of the date
possession is taken by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier. No award
for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns
to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together
with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to the same or
any part thereof, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to
Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property,
equipment, and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or for the interruption of or
damage to Tenant's business or for Tenant's unamortized cost of improvements
installed by Tenant and/or the cost of moving and/or the lost value of Tenant's
unexpired Lease Agreement term.

         15. Entire Agreement. This instrument, along with any exhibits and
attachments or other documents affixed hereto or referred to herein, constitute
the entire and exclusive agreement between Landlord and Tenant relative to the
Leased Premises herein described, and this Agreement and said exhibits and
attachments and other documents may be altered and/or revoked only by an
instrument in writing signed by both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant
hereby agree that all prior written and oral agreements, understandings and/or
practices relative to the leasing of the Leased Premises are merged in or
revoked by this Lease Agreement.

         16. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall at any time and from time to
time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord,
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord or to other parties as Landlord may
direct, a statement in writing, (a) certifying that this Lease Agreement is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of
such modification and certifying that this Lease Agreement as so modified is in
full force and effect), the date to which the rental and other charges are paid
in advance, and the amount of the Base Rental, Estimated Operating Expense
Adjustment, and the commencement and termination dates of the Lease Agreement,
and (b) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured
defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any
are claimed. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser
or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which the Leased
Premises are a part. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time
shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease Agreement is in full force
and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii)
there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and (iii) not more than
one month's Base Rental, or Estimated Operating Expense Adjustment installment,
has been paid in advance. If Landlord desires to finance or refinance the
Project, or any part thereof, Tenant agrees to deliver to any lender designated
by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by
such financial institution. All such financial statements shall be received by
Landlord in confidence and shall be used only for the purpose herein set forth.

<PAGE>

         17. Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay, or stoppage of work to be
performed by Landlord or Tenant which is due to strikes, labor disputes,
inability to obtain labor, materials, equipment, or reasonable substitutes
therefor, acts of God, governmental restrictions or regulations or controls,
judicial orders, enemy or hostile government actions, civil commotion, fire or
other casualties, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party
obligated to perform hereunder, shall excuse performance of the work by that
party for a period equal to the duration of that prevention, delay, or stoppage.
Nothing herein shall excuse or delay Tenant's obligation to pay rent or other
charges under this Lease Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Lease
Agreement.

         18. No Hazardous Substances Allowed. Tenant shall not cause or permit
any "Hazardous Substances," as defined below, except in amounts as permitted by
law, to be brought upon or kept or used in or about the Premises or the Project
by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees.

              a. Tenant shall at all times and in all respects comply with all
local, state, and federal laws, ordinances, regulations and orders
(collectively, "Hazardous Substances Laws") relating to industrial hygiene,
environmental protection, or the use, analysis, generation, manufacture,
storage, disposal, or transportation of any Hazardous Substances.

              b. As used in this Agreement, the term "Hazardous Substances"
means any hazardous or toxic substances, materials or wastes, including, but not
limited to, those substances, materials, and wastes listed in the United States
Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Table (49 CFR 172.101) or by
the Environmental Protection Agency as hazardous substances (40 CFR Part 302)
and amendments thereto, or such substances, materials and wastes which are or
become regulated under any applicable local, state or federal law including,
without limitation, any material, waste or substance which is (i) petroleum or
any fraction thereof, (ii) asbestos, (iii) polychlorinated biphenyls, (iv)
defined as a "hazardous waste" under relevant state statutes or any rule
promulgated thereunder, (v) designated as a "hazardous substance" pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C.ss.1251, et seq. (33 U.S.C.ss.1321)
or listed pursuant to Section 307 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.ss.1317),
(vi) defined as a "hazardous waste" pursuant to Section 1004 of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C.ss.6901, et seq. (42 U.S.C.ss.6903) or
(vii) defined as "hazardous substance" pursuant to Section 101 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42
U.S.C.ss.9601, et seq. (42 U.S.C.ss.9601).

              c. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel acceptable to
Lessor), protect, and hold harmless Lessor, and each of Lessor's partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, successors, and assigns, from
and against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties, fines, judgments,
forfeitures, losses (including, without limitation), diminution in the value of
the Premises or the Building, damages for the loss or restriction on use of
rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Premises or the Building,
costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees,

<PAGE>

consultant fees, and expert fees) for the death of or injury to any person or
damage to any property whatsoever, arising from or caused in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, (a) by the presence in, on, under, or about the
Premises, or any discharge or release in or from the Premises of any Hazardous
Substances, or Tenant's use, analysis, storage, transportation, disposal,
release, threatened release, discharge, or generation of Hazardous Substances
to, in, on, under, about, or from the Premises or the Building, or (b) Tenant's
failure to comply with any Hazardous Substances Law. Tenant's obligations under
this Section shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or
unforeseeable, any and all costs incurred in connection with any investigation
of site conditions, and any and all costs of any required or necessary repair,
cleanup, detoxification, or decontamination of the Premises or the Building, and
the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action, or other
required plans in connection therewith. Tenant's obligations under this Section
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease.
For purposes of the release and indemnity provisions hereof, any acts or
omissions of Tenant, or by employees, agents, assignees, contractors, or
subcontractors of Tenant or others acting for or on behalf of Tenant (whether or
not they are negligent, intentional, willful, or unlawful), shall be strictly
attributable to Tenant.

              d. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be
unreasonable for Lessor to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment,
subletting, or transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease if (a) the
anticipated use of the Premise by the proposed assignee, subtenant, or
transferee (collectively, a "Transferee") involves the generation, storage, use
treatment, or disposal of Hazardous Substances; (b) the proposed Transferee has
been required by any prior lessor, lender, or governmental authority to make
remedial action in connection with Hazardous Substances contaminating a
property, if the contamination resulted from such Transferee's actions or use of
the property in question; or (c) the proposed Transferee is subject to an
enforcement order issued by any governmental authority in connection with the
use, disposal, or storage of a Hazardous Substance.

              e. Landlord does hereby represent to Tenant that, to the best of
Landlord's knowledge, no toxic or hazardous substances have been deposited in or
located on the Leased Premises on the commencement date of the lease except in
the amounts as permitted by law.

         19. Hold Harmless:

              a. By Tenant: Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any injury, expense, damage, liability, or claim
imposed on Landlord by any person or entity, whether due to damage to the Leased
Premises or the Project, claims for injuries to the person or property of any
other tenant of the Project or of any other person in or about the Project for
any purpose whatsoever, or due to administrative or criminal action by a
governmental authority, whether such injury, expense, damage, liability, or
claim results either directly or indirectly from the act, omission, negligence,
misconduct, or breach of any provisions of this Lease Agreement by Tenant, the
agents, servants, or employees of Tenant, or any other person entering upon the
Leased Premises under express or implied invitation or consent of

<PAGE>
Tenant. Tenant further agrees to reimburse Landlord for any costs or expenses,
including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorney's fees which
Landlord may incur in investigating, handling, or litigating any such claim or
any action by a governmental authority.

              b. By Landlord: Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
Tenant harmless from and against any injury, expense, damage, liability, or
claim imposed on Tenant by any person or entity, whether due to damage to the
Leased Premises or the Project, claims for injuries to the person or property of
any other tenant of the Project or of any other person in or about the Project
for any purpose whatsoever, or due to administrative or criminal action by a
governmental authority, whether such injury, expense, damage, liability, or
claim results either directly or indirectly from the act, omission, gross
negligence, misconduct, or breach of any provisions of this Lease Agreement by
Landlord, the agents, servants, or employees of Landlord, or any other person
entering upon the Leased Premises under express or implied invitation or consent
of Landlord. Landlord further agrees to reimburse Tenant for any costs or
expenses, including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorney's
fees, which Tenant may incur in investigating, handling, or litigating any such
claim or any action by a governmental authority

         20. Holding Over. In the event of holding over by Tenant, after
expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement without the written consent of
Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one and one-half times the total of Base
Rental which Tenant was obligated to pay for the month immediately preceding the
end of the term of this Lease Agreement, for each month or any part thereof of
any such holdover period, together with any Additional Rent. No holding over by
Tenant after the termination of this Lease Agreement shall operate to extend the
Lease Agreement term. In the event of any unauthorized holding over, Tenant
shall indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any other tenant
against Landlord to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Leased
Premises covered hereby effective upon the termination of this Lease Agreement.
Any holding over with the written consent of Landlord shall thereafter
constitute this Lease Agreement a lease from month to month, and Landlord or
Tenant may terminate it upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice.

         21. Improvement Delays Caused by Tenant. If Tenant shall cause any of
the following delays in the completion of Landlord's Work, then the beginning
date of the Lease Agreement shall be altered: (i) delay caused because Tenant's
requirements for materials or installations are different from Landlord's
"Project Standard Improvements" (the basic improvement package Landlord offers
to tenants of the Project), (ii) delay in the payment of any sum due from Tenant
pertaining to Landlord's Work, (iii) delay in performance or completion by a
party employed by Tenant, (iv) delay by reason of compliance with applicable
laws arising from Tenant's design of Tenant's Improvements, (v) delay by reason
of changes in the work ordered by Tenant or by reason of any Change Order, (vi)
delay by reason of the malfunctioning of any item or aspect of Tenant's
Improvements which was designed by Tenant.

              a. In the event of any such delay mentioned above then,
notwithstanding the provisions of the Lease Agreement or any other provision of
Exhibit B, the Beginning Date of

<PAGE>

the Lease Agreement shall be the earlier of (i) the date Landlord would have
completed Landlord's Work had it not been for Tenant's delay, or (ii) the
earliest Beginning Date as provided in this Lease Agreement. Any and all cost
related to either the illegality or malfunctioning of any item or aspect of
Tenant's Improvements, which arises from Tenant's design, plans, specifications,
or working drawings, shall be borne solely by Tenant, notwithstanding Landlord's
approval or installation of the same.

         22. Improvements, Alterations, and Additions. Tenant shall not make or
allow to be made any alterations or physical additions in or to the Leased
Premises which affect the structure or any other improvements in excess of the
amount stated in the Specific Lease Provisions without first obtaining the
written consent of Landlord . All work shall be done by contractors approved by
Landlord. Landlord's approval or consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Any and all such alterations, physical additions, or improvements, when
made to the Leased Premises by Tenant, shall at once become the property of
Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the termination of this Lease
Agreement by lapse of time or otherwise; provided, however, this clause shall
not apply to movable equipment or furniture owned by Tenant. Tenant shall comply
with all government, local building code and permitting requirements and provide
Landlord with evidence of compliance. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice
five (5) days prior to employing any laborer or contractor to perform work on
the Leased Premises so that Landlord may post a notice of nonresponsibility if
allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant, at Tenant's
expense, to remove such alterations, physical additions, or improvements upon
termination of this Lease Agreement and to repair any damage caused by such
removal.

         23. Improvements Obligations of Tenant. Should Tenant fail to perform
its obligations regarding the construction of improvements as set forth in
Exhibit "C," Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent (for the purpose of
reimbursing Landlord for additional expenses which will be incurred by Landlord
because of its inability to proceed), one (1) day's Base Rental on the Leased
Premises for each day that Landlord is delayed because of Tenant's failure to
perform its obligations. Such Additional Rent shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord's invoice
therefor.

         24. Inconvenience Damage. No damages, compensation, or claim shall be
payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of business, or annoyance arising
from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Leased Premises or other
portion of the Project. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
effect such repair or restoration promptly and in such manner as to not
unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy.

         25. Insurance by Landlord. Landlord shall maintain during the term of
this Lease Agreement an all-risk commercial property policy insuring the
project, common areas, and personal property owned by Landlord, in amounts equal
to replacement value. Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any furniture,
equipment, machinery, goods, or supplies owned by Tenant or which Tenant may
bring or obtain upon the Leased Premises, or any additional improvements

<PAGE>

which Tenant may construct thereon. If the annual premiums charged Landlord for
such insurance exceed the standard premium rates because of the nature of
Tenant's operations, then Tenant shall, upon receipt of appropriate premium
invoices, reimburse Landlord for such increases in premium. Landlord may, should
it choose to do so, self insure all or part of the above referenced risks.
Should Landlord choose to self insure any insurance risks, the cost demonstrated
by a bid from a reputable insurance company shall be included in the cost of
insurance for expense reimbursement purposes.

         26. Insurance by Tenant. Tenant shall, at all times during the term of
this Lease Agreement, insure Tenant's personal property including any additional
improvements made by Tenant, while in or upon the Leased Premises, with an
all-risk policy. In addition, Tenant shall maintain a policy or policies of
Commercial General Liability Insurance with the premiums thereon fully paid on
or before due date, issued by an insurance company having at least an A.M. Best
rating of A or better and licensed to do business within the state the Project
is located. The limits afforded by said liability policy shall not be less than
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single occurrence limit for personal
injury and property damage and $2,000,000 annual aggregate. Landlord shall be
added as an additional insured thereto, and said policy shall not be canceled or
substantially modified without first giving Landlord thirty (30) days written
notice thereof. In addition, Tenant shall maintain Workers Compensation
insurance as required by statute. Tenant shall furnish, within thirty (30) days
of Landlord's request and approval, a certificate of insurance, acceptable to
Landlord, evidencing the Commercial General Liability and Workers Compensation
coverages referred to herein and naming Landlord and Property Manager as
additional insured as to the General Liability Insurance.

         27. Laws, Ordinances, Regulations, and Americans with Disabilities Act.
Landlord shall comply, at its sole cost, with all laws, ordinances, orders,
rules and regulations (state, federal, municipal, or promulgated by other
agencies or bodies having any jurisdiction thereof) relating to the use (based
upon the approved use for Tenant hereunder), condition, or occupancy of the
Leased Premises. Tenant shall comply, at its sole cost, with requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act which provides for the removal of architectural
barriers that prevent equal access to disabled persons on the interior of the
Leased Premises. To the extent that barrier removal relates to access on the
exterior of the Project, the obligation shall be that of the Landlord.

         28. Lease Memorandum. Neither this Lease Agreement, nor any notice nor
memorandum regarding the terms hereof, shall be recorded by Tenant without the
prior written consent of the Landlord.

         29. Limitation of Landlord's Liability. The obligations of Landlord
under this Lease Agreement do not constitute personal obligations of Landlord or
of the individual partners, directors, officers, employees, or shareholders of
Landlord or its partners, and Tenant shall look solely to the property that is
the Project described in this Lease Agreement and to no other assets of Landlord
for satisfaction of any liability in respect of this Lease Agreement, and

<PAGE>

Tenant will not seek recourse against any other property of Landlord or against
the individual partners, directors, officers, employees, or shareholders of
Landlord or its partners or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction.

         30. Name of Project. Tenant shall not use the name of the Project for
any purpose other than as an address of business to be conducted by the Tenant.
Landlord and its agents shall have the right to change the name, number, or
designation of the Project without liability to Tenant upon fourteen (14) days
prior written notice to Tenant.

         31. No Joint Venture. This Lease Agreement shall not be deemed or
construed to create or establish any relationship of partnership or joint
venture or similar relationship or arrangement between Landlord and Tenant
hereunder.

         32. Notices. All notices, demands, consents, and approvals, which may
or are required to be given by either party to the other hereunder, shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been fully given when personally delivered
or delivered by a nationally recognized over night courier, or, if the notice is
deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to the party to be notified at the
address for such party specified in this Lease Agreement (with copies to
Property Reserve, Inc., 10 E. South Temple Street, Suite 400, Salt Lake City,
Utah 84133, and Kirton and McConkie, 60 E. South Temple Street, Suite 1800, Salt
Lake City, UT 84145), then the notice shall be deemed fully given on earlier of
(i) the date of delivery, if delivered personally or by courier, or (ii) the
date set forth on the receipt, or (iii) three (3) days after the notice is
deposited in the mail.

         a. Either party may change its address for notice by at least fifteen
(15) days written notice to the other party. Tenant hereby appoints as its agent
to receive the service of all dispossessory or distraint proceedings and notices
thereunder the person in charge of or occupying the Leased Premises at the time,
and, if no person shall be in charge of or occupying the same, then, if allowed
by law, such service may be made by attaching the same on the main entrance of
the Leased Premises.

         33. Occupancy Delay. In the event that the Leased Premises should not
be ready for occupancy for any reason, this Lease Agreement shall not be void or
voidable, and Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for any claims,
damages, or liabilities in connection therewith or by reason thereof, and the
term of this Lease Agreement shall be for the same term of months as set forth
in the Lease Agreement, but the beginning date shall be effective only from the
time that the Leased Premises are prepared for occupancy in accordance with the
terms and conditions set forth herein. Should the term of this Lease Agreement
begin on a date other than the beginning date, Landlord and Tenant will, at the
request of either, execute a declaration specifying the revised beginning the
term of this Lease Agreement. In such event rental under this Lease Agreement
shall not commence until said revised beginning date, and the stated term in
this Lease Agreement shall thereupon commence and the expiration date shall be
extended so as to give effect to the full stated term. Within five (5) days
after Tenant receives Landlord's notice

<PAGE>

that the Leased Premises are ready for occupancy, Tenant shall inspect the
Leased Premises, and except for items specified by Tenant to Landlord within
five (5) days of Tenant's inspection, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted
the Leased Premises in their then condition, "as is." The existence of "punch
list" (as that term is generally used in the construction industry) items shall
not postpone the beginning date of this Lease Agreement.

         34. Peaceful Enjoyment. Tenant shall occupy and may peacefully have,
hold, and enjoy the Leased Premises, subject to the other provisions hereof,
provided that Tenant pays the rent herein recited and performs all of Tenant's
covenants and agreements herein contained, including the observance of all
reasonable rules and regulations made by Landlord from time to time pursuant to
this Lease Agreement. It is understood and agreed that this covenant and any and
all other covenants of Landlord contained in this Lease Agreement shall be
binding upon Landlord and its successors only with respect to breaches occurring
during its and their respective ownerships of Landlord's interest hereunder.

         35. Personal Property Tax. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay,
not later than ten (10) days before delinquency, all taxes levied against any
personal property or trade fixture placed by Tenant, in or about the Leased
Premises. Landlord may, after written notice to Tenant, pay any such levy or
tax, regardless of the validity of such levy, but only under proper protest if
so requested by Tenant in writing. Additionally, if the assessed value of
Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion of the value placed upon any
of the personal property or trade fixture of Tenant, Landlord may, after written
notice to Tenant, pay those taxes which are based upon such increased
assessment, regardless of the validity thereof, but only with proper protest if
so requested by Tenant in writing. In such an event Tenant shall, upon demand,
repay to Landlord taxes so levied and paid by Landlord, or that portion of such
taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment. Tenant shall have the
right, in the name of the Landlord and with Landlord's full cooperation, at no
cost to Landlord, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to
recover the amount of any such taxes so paid under protest. Any amounts so
recovered shall belong to Tenant.

         36. Prohibited Activities. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be
done in or about the Leased Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which
will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other
insurance upon the Project or any of its contents, or cause cancellation of any
insurance policy covering said Project or any part thereof or any of its
contents. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the
Leased Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of
other tenants or occupants of the Project or injure or annoy them, or use or
allow the Leased Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful, or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain, or permit any nuisance
in, on, or about the Leased Premises. Tenant shall not violate any of the rules
and regulations of the Project.

              a. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done on or about the Leased
Premises, and the Landlord shall not do or permit to be done outside the Leased
Premises any of the

<PAGE>

following: (a) any violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance, or
any regulation, ordinance, order or directive of a governmental agency as such
statutes, ordinances, regulations, orders, or directives now exist or may
hereafter come into effect and concern the use, safety, or environment of the
Property; (b) any violation of any Certificate of Occupancy covering or
affecting the use of the Property or any part thereof; (c) commit any public or
private nuisance.

         37. Relocation. If the size of the Leased Premises is less than Ten
Thousand (10,000) rentable square feet, Landlord reserves the right to relocate
Tenant during the Term of this Lease Agreement or any renewal thereof, to
similar or higher quality space within the Project. If Landlord exercises this
right to relocate Tenant, then any and all costs incident to said relocation
shall be the responsibility of Landlord, said costs to be determined prior to
relocation of Tenant.

         38. Repairs and Inspection Entry. Tenant shall permit Landlord or its
agents or representatives to enter into and upon any part of the Leased Premises
at all reasonable hours to inspect same, clean, make repairs, alterations, or
additions thereto or for any reasonable purpose as Landlord may deem necessary
or desirable, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction
sums due under this Lease Agreement by reason thereof.

         39. Reservations by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to:

              a. Make changes, additions improvements, or deletions to, or to
reduce, partition, or otherwise eliminate the Common Areas, including, without
limitation, changes in the location, size shape and number of driveways,
entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress,
egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, and hallways.

              b. Close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance
purposes so long as reasonable access to the Leased Premises remains available.

              c. Designate other land to be part of the Common Area where the
additional Common Area is available for the use and benefit of tenants of the
Project.

              d. Expand the Project.

         40. Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall have the right to make and
enforce rules and regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") consistent with this
Lease Agreement for the purposes of regulating access, parking, use of the
common areas in the Leased Premises, and promoting safety, order, cleanliness,
and good service to the Project. Tenant will promptly comply with all such Rules
and Regulations. The parties acknowledge that the Rules and Regulations attached
hereto as Exhibit "D" are presently the Rules and Regulations now in effect;
however, Landlord, may at its option and at any time, reasonably amend and
modify said Rules and Regulations, and Tenant, upon receipt of written notice of
same, shall be obligated to comply with said Rules and Regulations.

<PAGE>

         41. Sales Tax. In addition to the rental payments hereunder, all state,
county, and municipal transaction privilege (sales) taxes or similar excise
taxes imposed by any state, county, municipality, or other governmental entity
relative to the rental activity under this Lease Agreement, if required, shall
be reimbursed to the Landlord by the Tenant as Additional Rent.

         42. Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord,
without payment of interest to Tenant, as security for Tenant's full and
faithful performance of every provision of this Lease Agreement. Landlord may
comingle the deposit with other funds of Landlord and may apply the deposit to
the cost of performing any obligation which Tenant fails to perform within the
time required by this Lease Agreement, but such application shall not be
Landlord's exclusive remedy for Tenant's default. If any portion of said deposit
is applied by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the sum necessary to replenish the
deposit to its original amount upon demand by Landlord. Should Landlord sell its
interest in the Project during the Term hereof, and if Landlord deposits with
the purchaser thereof the then unappropriated funds deposited by Tenant as
aforesaid, Landlord shall thereupon be discharged from any further liability
with respect to the Security Deposit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
shall comply with any laws or regulations in effect and related to the handling
of Security Deposits in commercial rental agreements. The Security Deposit shall
increase pro rata for any expansion space added to the Leased Premises.

         43. Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease Agreement, or
the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall to any extent be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease Agreement, or the
application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to
which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each
provision of this Lease Agreement shall be valid and shall be enforceable to the
extent permitted by law.

         44. Services Interruption. It is understood that Landlord does not
warrant that any of the services referred to above, or any other services which
Landlord may supply, will be free from interruption. Tenant acknowledges that
any one or more such services may be suspended or reduced by reason of accident
or repairs, alterations, or improvements necessary to be made, by strikes or
accident or by any cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or by orders
or regulations of any federal, state, county, or municipal authority.

              a. Any such interruption or suspension of services shall never be
deemed an eviction of or disturbance to Tenant's use and possession of the
Leased Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for
damages by abatement of rent, or otherwise relieve Tenant of performance of
Tenant's obligation under this Lease Agreement. Landlord will use commercially
reasonable efforts to restore service to full operations, and in the event of a
strike to secure parties not involved in the labor dispute to provide minimum
services.

         45. Subordination to Mortgages. This Lease Agreement shall
automatically be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or deed of
trust given by Landlord which

<PAGE>

does now or may hereafter encumber the Project of which the Leased Premises form
a part, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and
extensions thereof. Landlord shall also have the right to assign its interest in
this Lease Agreement for security purposes to any mortgagee or trust deed
beneficiary. Tenant agrees that it will execute, within five (5) days of
Landlord's request, any appropriate instrument or certificate that Landlord or
any mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary may require to further document this
subordination, provided that such mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary shall
agree with Tenant not to disturb Tenant's right to possess the Leased Premises
so long as Tenant complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
Agreement. Tenant further agrees that it will provide any such mortgagee or
trust deed beneficiary with any evidence required to show the authority of
Tenant to execute any such subordination instrument or certificate and will, if
so requested by any such mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary, provide to that
person or entity a copy of any notice Tenant gives or is required to give
Landlord under this Lease Agreement. In the event of the enforcement by the
mortgagee or the beneficiary under such mortgage or deed of trust of the
remedies provided for by law or by such mortgage or deed of trust, or in the
event Landlord gives a deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure to such mortgagee or trust
deed beneficiary, Tenant will, upon request of any person or party succeeding to
the interest of Landlord as a result of such enforcement or termination,
automatically become the Tenant of such successor in interest without change in
the terms or other provisions of this Lease Agreement, provided, however, that
such successor in interest shall not be bound by (i) any payment of rent or
additional rent for more than one month in advance, (ii) any amendment or
modification of this Lease Agreement made without the written consent of such
mortgagee or such beneficiary or their successor in interest, or (iii) any
defaults of Landlord under this Lease Agreement which remain uncured at the time
such successor in interest obtains title to the Project. Tenant shall execute
and deliver any instrument or instruments confirming the attornment herein
provided for.

              a. In the event of any act or omission by Landlord by reason of
which Tenant may claim the right to terminate this Lease Agreement or claim a
defense or offset against the Base Rental due hereunder, Tenant agrees not to
exercise any such right until: (i) Tenant has notified the mortgagee or trust
deed beneficiary in writing of such act or omission by Landlord, and (ii) Tenant
has given the mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary a reasonable opportunity to
cure such act or omission, including the time as shall be reasonably required to
obtain possession of the property and to commence and carry to completion the
foreclosure of its mortgage or deed of trust.

         46. Successors and Assigns. This Lease Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns, and shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of Tenant, its successors, and, to the
extent assignment may be approved by Landlord hereunder, Tenant's permitted
assigns.

         47. Tenant to Keep the Leased Premises Lien Free. Tenant shall keep the
Leased Premises and Project free from any mechanic's liens arising from any work
performed, material furnished, or obligations incurred by Tenant, and shall
obtain from its contractor lien releases if

<PAGE>

required by Landlord. Tenant shall keep Landlord informed of the status of any
contest and shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord from and against
any such lien or claim or action thereon, together with costs of suit and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection with any such
claim or action.

         48. Tenant's Property. Landlord shall not be required to carry
insurance of any kind on Tenant's personal property, and shall not be obligated
to repair any damage thereto or replace the same for any reason.

         49. Tenants Requests. Tenant shall pay all the out of pocket legal
expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of requests from Tenant to exercise
its rights granted under this Lease Agreement, except for litigation in which
the Tenant is the prevailing party.

         50. Tenant's Right to Audit. In the event Tenant's Proportionate Share
of Operating Expense increases, excluding property taxes and insurance, by more
than five percent (5%) in any Calender Year, Tenant may audit Landlord common
area operating costs in order to verify the accuracy of operating expense
charges, provided that:

              a. Tenant specifically designates the calender year(s) that Tenant
intends to audit, which shall be a year within two (2) years of date of the
audit, but must be within the Term of this Lease Agreement.

              b. Such audit will be conducted only by a licensed firm,
unaffiliated with Tenant, with prior Landlord approval, and during regular
business hours at the office where Landlord maintains Operating Expense records,
and only after Tenant gives Landlord fourteen (14) days' notice.

              c. Tenant shall pay for all costs associated with audit.

              d. If audit yields a result that Tenant has underpaid the Tenant
will reimburse Landlord upon receipt of invoice.

              e. Tenant agrees not to divulge the results of the audit to any
other party.

              f. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the results of such
audit within fifteen (15) days of its receipt by Tenant. No such audit shall be
conducted if any other tenant has conducted an audit for the time period Tenant
intends to audit and Landlord furnishes to Tenant a copy of the results of such
audit. No audit shall be conducted at any time that Tenant is in default of any
of the terms of the Lease Agreement. No subtenant shall have any right to
conduct an audit and no assignee shall conduct an audit for any period during
which such assignee was not in possession of the Leased Premises. Any refund due
Tenant as a result of such audit shall be paid by Landlord upon receipt of audit
and invoice from Tenant.

         51. Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence of this
Agreement.

<PAGE>

         52. Total Destruction. A total destruction of the Project shall
automatically terminate this Lease Agreement.

         53. Waiver. Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon
occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall
not waive such default, but Landlord shall have the right to declare any such
default at any time thereafter. Landlord's acceptance of rent will not be deemed
a waiver of any Tenant breach or default existing at the time of payment, except
a default in the payment of money, and then only to the extent of the amount
received by Landlord.

         54. Waiver of Jury Trial. To the full extent allowed by law, the
respective parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any
action, proceeding or cross-action whatsoever arising out of or in any way
connected with this lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use
or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim for injury or damage, or the
enforcement of any remedy under any statute or otherwise.

         55. Waiver of Time Limitations. In the event Tenant shall have any
claim or cause of action against Landlord arising out of or otherwise related to
this lease, Tenant must file such action with a court of competent jurisdiction
within one year after the accrual of such claim or cause of action; otherwise,
such claim or cause of action shall be deemed waived and permanently barred by
the passage of time and be void.

         56. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant do each hereby release
the other from any and all liability or responsibility (to the other or to
anyone claiming through or under the other by way of subrogation or otherwise)
for any loss or damage to property or for personal injury caused by perils
insured against by the policies to be carried pursuant to this Lease, even if
the cause of such peril or damage shall have been the negligence of the other
party or of anyone for whom such party may be responsible. Such waiver of
subrogation shall be effective with respect to such loss or damage, and each
policy hereunder shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that any
such release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the
right of the releasing party to recover thereunder. Landlord and Tenant each
agree that their policies shall include such a clause or endorsement. The
failure to obtain a clause or endorsement providing such waiver of subrogation
shall in no manner limit or restrict the validity and enforceability of the
waivers of subrogation herein contained.
