                TERM.  This Lease shall continue in force during a period
                beginning on Commencement Date and continuing until the expiration
                of the
                Lease Term, unless this Lease is sooner terminated or extended to
                a later
                date under any other term or provision hereof.  If this Lease is
                executed before the Premises become vacant or otherwise available
                and
                ready for occupancy by Tenant, or if any present occupant of the
                Premises
                holds over and Landlord cannot acquire possession of the Premises
                before
                the Commencement Date, then (a) Tenant's obligation to pay rent hereunder
                shall be waived until Landlord tenders possession of the Premises
                to
                Tenant, (b) the Lease Term shall be extended by the time between
                the
                scheduled Commencement Date and the date on which Landlord tenders
                possession of the Premises to Tenant (which date will then be defined
                as
                the Commencement Date), (c) Landlord shall not be in default hereunder
                or
                be liable for damages therefor, and (d) Tenant shall accept possession
                of
                the Premises when Landlord tenders possession thereof to
                Tenant.  By occupying the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to
                have accepted the Premises in their condition as of the date of such
                occupancy, subject to the performance of punch-list items that remain
                to
                be performed by Landlord, if any.  Tenant shall execute and
                deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord has requested
                same, a letter confirming (i) the Commencement Date, (ii) that Tenant
                has
                accepted the Premises, and (iii) that Landlord has performed all
                of its
                obligations with respect to the Premises (except for punch-list items
                specified in such letter).

              USE.  Tenant
                shall continuously occupy the Premises and use the Premises only
                for
                general office use and for no other purpose.  Tenant agrees not
                to use or permit the use of the Premises for any purpose which is
                illegal,
                or which, in Landlord's opinion, creates a nuisance, interferes with
                other
                tenants or Landlord in its management of the Building, or which would
                increase the cost of insurance coverage with respect to the
                Building.

              BASE
                RENTAL.  (a) Tenant agrees to pay during the Lease Term, to
                Landlord, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, the Base Rental
                and
                all such other sums of money as shall become due hereunder as additional
                rent, including, without limitation, any estimated adjustments to
                Base
                Rental all of which are sometimes herein collectively called
                "rent", the nonpayment of which Landlord shall be entitled to
                exercise all such rights and remedies as are herein provided in the
                case
                of the nonpayment of Base Rental.  The Base Rental, together
                with any adjustments thereto pursuant to Section 6 hereof then in
                effect, shall be due and

    payable
      in advance monthly on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease
      Term
      (including any extensions or renewals thereof), and Tenant hereby agrees to
      pay
      such Base Rental and any adjustments thereto to Landlord at Landlord's address
      provided herein (or such other address in Dallas County as may be designated
      by
      Landlord in writing from time to time) monthly, in advance, and without
      demand.  If the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day
      of a month or terminates on a day other than the last day of a month, then
      the
      installments of Base Rental and any adjustments thereto for such month or months
      shall be prorated, based on the number of days in such month.

    

    (b)           If
      Tenant shall fail to pay the Base Rental on or before the fifth day of the
      calendar month in which such Base Rental is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
      a
      late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such Base Rental; provided, however,
      no late charge shall be imposed under this paragraph (b) with respect to the
      first two times during the term of this Lease that Tenant fails to pay Base
      Rental on or before the fifth day of the calendar month in which such Base
      Rental is due so long as Tenant pays in full such Base Rental on or before
      the
      tenth day of such calendar month.  All installments of rent, including
      late charges, not paid when due and payable shall bear interest at the lesser
      of
      the maximum lawful rate or one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month from
      the
      date due until paid.  Such interest shall be in addition to the late
      charge described in this paragraph (b).

              BASE
                RENTAL ADJUSTMENTS.  The Base Rental payable hereunder shall
                be adjusted upward from time to time in accordance with the following
                provisions:

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)

            	
              Tenant's
                Base Rental is based, in part, upon the estimate that annual Operating
                Expenses for the Building will be equal to the Expense Stop per square
                foot of Rentable Area in the Building.  Tenant shall, during the
                Lease Term, pay as additional rent Tenant's Prorata Share of the
                amount by
                which the Operating Expenses per square foot of Rentable Area in
                the
                Building for each calendar year exceed the Expense Stop (the amount
                of
                such excess is referred to as the "Excess").  Landlord
                may collect such additional rent in arrears on a yearly
                basis.  Landlord shall also have the option from time to time to
                make a good faith estimate of the Excess for the present, as well
                as each
                upcoming calendar year, and upon thirty (30) days' written notice
                to
                Tenant may require the monthly payment of Base Rental adjusted in
                accordance with such estimate.  Any amounts paid based on such
                an estimate shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6(b)
                when
                actual Operating Expenses are available for each calendar
                year.

                April 1 of each calendar year during Tenant's occupancy, or as soon
                thereafter as practical, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement
                of
                Landlord's actual Operating Expenses for the previous calendar
                year.  If for any calendar year additional Base Rental collected
                for the prior year, as a result of Landlord's estimate of Operating
                Expenses, is in excess of the additional Base Rental actually due

                such prior

      apply such amount against rentals due hereunder).  Likewise, Tenant
      shall pay to Landlord, on demand, any underpayment with respect to the prior
      year.

                per
                calendar year, following prior written notice to Landlord, to audit
                Landlord's books and records relating to Operating Expenses for the
                immediately preceding calendar year; or at Landlord's sole discretion,
                Landlord will provide such audit prepared by a certified public
                accountant, in lieu of allowing Tenant's auditors to inspect such
                books
                and records.

                at
                such temperatures and in such amounts as are considered by Landlord
                to be
                standard or as required by governmental authority; provided, however,
                Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a keyfob which will enable Tenant
                to
                activate the heating and air conditioning for the Premises at times
                other
                than for "Normal Business Hours" for the Building (which are 7:00
                a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00
                p.m. on
                Saturdays, exclusive of normal business holidays).  Tenant shall
                pay to Landlord an amount equal to $25.00 per hour for central heat
                and
                air conditioning services that are provided to Tenant during other
                than
                Normal Business Hours, which amount shall be due and payable upon
                presentation of a statement therefor by Landlord.  Tenant
                acknowledges that the foregoing hourly rate includes certain
                administrative expenses of Landlord in administering such after hour
                services and an allocation for the additional wear and tear on the
                Building HVAC system attributable to the additional use of such system
                and
                only that portion of such hourly rate that equals the actual amount
                charged by the electric utility supplier will be included in the
                calculation of Operating Expenses for the purpose of determining
                Tenant's
                obligations under Section 6(a)
                above.

    The
      failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish or the interruption or termination
      of the services described above in whole or in part, resulting from causes
      beyond the reasonable control of Landlord shall not render Landlord liable
      in
      any respect nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work as an abatement
      of rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or
      agreement hereof.  Should any of the equipment or machinery used in
      the provision of such services for any cause cease to function properly, Tenant
      shall have no claim for offset or abatement of rent or damages on account of
      an
      interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.

                attached hereto sets forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant
                with
                respect to the initial tenant finish-work for the Premises. Any
                additional installations, alterations and improvements hereafter
                placed on
                the Premises shall be for Tenant's account and at Tenant's cost,
                subject,
                however, to Section 11 below.

              MAINTENANCE
                AND REPAIR OF PREMISES BY LANDLORD.  Except as otherwise
                expressly provided herein, Landlord shall not be required to make
                any
                repairs to the Premises.  In the event that the Premises should
                become in need of repairs or maintenance required to be made by Landlord
                under this Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord;
                and Landlord shall not be responsible in any way for any failure
                to make
                any such repairs until a reasonable time shall have elapsed after
                the
                receipt by Landlord of such written
                notice.

              CARE
                OF THE PREMISES BY TENANT.  Tenant agrees not to commit or
                allow any waste to be committed on any portion of the Premises, and
                at the
                termination of this Lease to deliver up the Premises to Landlord
                in as
                good condition as the same existed on the Commencement Date, ordinary
                wear
                and tear excepted.

            

    

    

    
      	
              11.

            	
              REPAIRS
                AND ALTERATIONS BY TENANT.  Tenant shall maintain the
                Premises in a clean, safe, operable, attractive condition, and shall
                not
                permit or allow to remain any waste or damage to any portion of the
                Premises.  Tenant covenants and agrees with Landlord, at
                Tenant's own cost and expense, to repair or replace any damage done
                to the
                Building, or any part thereof, caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents,
                employees, invitees, or visitors, and such repairs shall restore
                the
                Building to as good a condition as it was in prior to such damage,
                and
                shall have been completed in compliance with all applicable laws;
                provided, however, if Tenant fails to make such repairs or replacements
                promptly, Landlord may, at its option, make such repairs or replacements,
                and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof (plus a reasonable fee for
                Landlord's supervision of such repairs or replacements) to the Landlord
                on
                demand as additional rent.  Tenant agrees with Landlord not to
                make or allow to be made any alterations to the Premises, or install
                any
                vending machines on the Premises without first obtaining the written
                consent of Landlord in each such instance, which consent may be given
                on
                such conditions as Landlord may elect.  Tenant must obtain all
                permits and comply with applicable laws. Improvements to the Premises
                shall be installed at the expense of Tenant only in accordance with
                plans
                and specifications which have been previously submitted to and approved
                in
                writing by Landlord.  After the initial Tenant improvements are
                made, no alterations or physical additions in or to the Premises
                may be
                made without Landlord's prior written consent.  Tenant shall not
                paint or install lighting or decorations, signs, window or door lettering,
                or advertising media of any type on or about the Premises without
                the
                prior written consent of Landlord.  All altera­tions,
                additions, or improvements (whether temporary or permanent in character,
                and including without limitation all air-conditioning equipment and
                all
                other equipment that is in any manner connected to the Building's
                plumbing
                system) made in or upon the Premises, either by Landlord or Tenant,
                shall
                be Landlord's property at the end of the Lease Term and shall remain
                on
                the Premises without compensation to Tenant.  Approval by
                Landlord of any of Tenant's drawings and plans and specifications
                prepared
                in connection with any improvements in the Premises shall not constitute
                a
                representation or warranty of Landlord as to the adequacy or sufficiency
                of such drawings, plans and specifications, or the improvements to
                which
                they relate, for any use, purpose, or condition, but such approval
                shall
                merely be the consent of Landlord as required hereunder. Any and
                all
                alterations to the Premises shall become the property of Landlord
                upon
                termination of this Lease (except for movable equipment, trade fixtures,
                or furniture owned by Tenant).  Landlord may, nonetheless,
                require Tenant to remove any and all fixtures, equipment and other
                improvements installed on the Premises.  In the event that
                Landlord so elects, and Tenant fails to remove such improvements,
                Landlord
                may remove such improvements at Tenant's cost, and Tenant shall pay
                Landlord on demand the cost of restoring the Premises to Building
                standard.

              USE
                OF ELECTRICAL SERVICES BY TENANT.  Tenant's use of
                electrical services furnished by Landlord shall be subject to the
                following:

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)

            	
              Tenant's
                electrical equipment and overhead lighting shall be restricted to
                equipment and lighting which does not have either a rated capacity
                or an
                electrical design load greater than that which is standard for the
                Building.  Tenant shall be responsible for determining that its
                electrical equipment and overhead lighting have rated capacities
                and
                design loads within those limits which are standard for the
                Building.

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)

            	
              If
                Tenant's consumption of electrical services exceeds either the rated
                capacities and/or design loads that are standard for the Building,
                then
                Tenant shall remove such equipment and/or lighting to achieve compliance
                within 10 days after receiving notice from Landlord.  Or upon
                receiving Landlord's prior written approval, such equipment and/or
                lighting may remain in the Premises, subject to the
                following:

            

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (i)

            	
              Tenant
                shall pay for all costs of installation and maintenance of submeters,
                wiring, air conditioning and other items required by Landlord, in
                Landlord's discretion, to accommodate Tenant's excess design loads
                and
                capacities.

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
                         (ii)

            	
              Tenant
                shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, the cost of the excess demand
                and
                consumption of electrical service at rates determined by Landlord
                which
                shall be in accordance with any applicable
                laws.

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
                        
                (iii)

            	
              Landlord
                may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written
                notice to Tenant, discontinue the availability of such extraordinary
                utility service.  If Landlord gives any such notice, Tenant will
                contract directly with the public utility for the supplying of such
                utility service to the Premises.

            

    

    

    
      	
              13.

            	
              PARKING.  Tenant
                shall have the non-exclusive right to use, at no charge, one parking
                space
                for every 333 square feet of Rentable Area in the Premises, of which
                3 of
                such spaces shall be reserved covered spaces and the balance shall
                be
                uncovered.  Tenant's uncovered parking spaces shall not
                be reserved spaces and shall be available to Tenant and its employees
                on a
                first come/first serve basis along with other tenants of the
                Building.

              LAWS
                AND REGULATIONS.  Tenant agrees to comply with all
                applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations of any governmental
                entity or agency having jurisdiction over the
                Premises.

              BUILDING
                RULES.  Tenant will comply with the rules of the Building
                and the Property attached hereto as Exhibit "D", as amended and
                altered by Landlord from time to time, and will cause all of its
                agents,
                employees, invitees and visitors to so comply. Landlord may, from
                time to
                time, change such rules and regulations for the safety, care, or
                cleanliness of the Building and related facilities, provided that
                such
                changes are applicable to all tenants of the Building and will not
                unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the
                Premises.

              ENTRY
                BY LANDLORD.  Tenant agrees to permit Landlord or its agents
                or representatives to enter into and upon any part of the Premises
                during
                ordinary business hours, or at such other times as Landlord deems
                appropriate to inspect the same, or to show the Premises to prospective
                purchasers, mortgagees, or insurers, to clean or make repairs, alterations
                or additions thereto, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement
                or
                reduction of rent by reason
                thereof.

              ASSIGNMENT
                AND SUBLETTING.

            

    

    
      	
              (a)

            	
              Tenant
                shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber this Lease or any
                interest therein (any assignment, sublease, transfer, or encumbrance
                is
                referred to herein as a "Transfer") without Landlord's prior
                written consent, which consent shall be given or withheld in the
                exercise
                of Landlord’s commercially reasonable judgment).  If Tenant
                requests Landlord's consent to a Transfer, then Tenant shall provide
                Landlord with a written description of all terms and conditions of
                the
                proposed Transfer, copies of the proposed documentation, and the
                following
                information about the proposed transferee: name and address; reasonably
                satisfactory information about its business and business history;
                its
                proposed use of the Premises; banking, financial, and other credit
                information; and general references sufficient to enable Landlord
                to
                determine the proposed transferee's creditworthiness and character
                (such
                request for consent and accompanying information is referred to herein
                as
                the "Consent Request Package").  The Consent Request
                Package shall be delivered to Landlord in a container that is marked
                conspicuously on the front cover: "TIME SENSITIVE MATERIAL-IMMEDIATE
                RESPONSE REQUIRED".  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its
                attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with considering
                any request for its consent to a Transfer (limited to $250 per
                request).  If Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer, then the
                proposed transferee shall deliver to Landlord a written agreement
                whereby
                it expressly assumes the Tenant's obligations hereunder (other than
                Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rental under this Lease if the transferee
                is a sublessee); however, any transferee of less than all of the
                space in
                the Premises shall be liable only for obligations under this Lease
                that
                are properly allocable to the space subject to the Transfer, and
                only to
                the extent of the rent it has agreed to pay Tenant
                therefor.  Landlord's consent to a Transfer shall not release
                Tenant from performing its obligations under this Lease, but rather
                Tenant
                and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable
                therefor.  Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not waive
                Landlord's rights as to any subsequent Transfers.  If an Event
                of Default occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are subject
                to a
                Transfer, then Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, may collect
                directly from such transferee all rents becoming due to Tenant and
                apply
                such rents against Rent.  Tenant authorizes its transferees to
                make payments of rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of written
                notice
                from Landlord to do so.  Landlord shall, within ten (10)
                business days after its receipt of the Consent Request Package, notify
                Tenant in writing either (i) that Landlord consents to the proposed
                Transfer, or (ii) that Landlord does not consent to the proposed
                Transfer
                and in such rejection notice identify the reasons for Landlord's
                decision
                not to consent to such Transfer.  If Landlord fails to provide
                Tenant with the written notice described in the preceding
                sentence

    within
      such 10-business day period, Landlord shall be conclusively deemed to have
      consented to the proposed Transfer.

    (b)           With
      respect to any assignment and any subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,

                this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord to a parent,
                subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant or to an acquirer of substantially
                all
                of the assets of Tenant; provided that (i) Tenant shall have notified
                Landlord in writing prior to such assignment of its intent to effect
                the
                same, (ii) at the time thereof no Event of Default has occurred and
                is
                continuing, (iii) with respect to a transferee that is acquiring
                substantially all of the assets of Tenant, Landlord has received
                evidence
                reasonably acceptable to Landlord that the transferee has
                the  financial wherewithal and creditworthiness to satisfy
                Tenant’s remaining obligations under this Lease, and (iv) the proposed
                transferee shall deliver to Landlord a written agreement whereby
                it
                expressly assumes all of the Tenant's obligations under this Lease
                (an
                assignment that satisfies the requirements of this paragraph (c)
                is

              LIENS.  Tenant
                will not permit any mechanic's lien or liens to be placed upon the
                Premises or the Building and nothing in this Lease shall be deemed
                or
                construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord,
                express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any person for
                the
                performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials to the
                Premises, or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power,
                or
                authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services
                or the
                furnishing of any materials that would give rise to any mechanics'
                or
                other liens against the Premises.  In the event any such lien is
                attached to the Premises, then, in addition to any other right or
                remedy
                of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge
                the
                same.  Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid
                purposes shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand as additional
                rent.  Landlord may require, at Landlord's sole option, that
                Tenant shall provide to Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
                a
                performance and payment bonds in an amount equal to one and one-half
                (1-1/2) times the estimated cost of any improvements, additions,
                or
                alterations in the Premises which the Tenant desires to make to insure
                Landlord against any liability for mechanic's liens and materialman's
                liens and to insure completion of the work.  Tenant shall comply
                with this Section with respect to any repairs, improvements or alterations
                to the Premises that are otherwise permitted by Section 11
                above.

                INSURANCE.  Landlord shall maintain fire and extended
                coverage insurance on the Building and the Premises in such amounts
                as
                Landlord's mortgagees shall require.  Such insurance shall be
                maintained at the expense of Landlord (as a part of the Insurance
                Costs),
                and payments for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord
                or the
                mortgagees of Landlord as their interests shall appear.  Tenant
                shall maintain at its expense, in an amount equal to full replacement
                cost, fire and extended coverage insurance on all of
                its

      19
      and Section 20.  Tenant shall obtain the agreement of Tenant's
      insurers to notify Landlord that a policy is due to expire at least 30 days

      of premium) shall have been given to Landlord; and said policy or policies
      or
      certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon the

              Landlord

                caused by any act, omission, or neglect of Tenant, its agents, servants,

                by
                Tenant in the performance of its Subject to Section 22 below, Tenant
                hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord and
                its
                agents from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, causes
                of
                action, suits, judgments, and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
                for any
                injury to or death of any person or persons or the damage to or theft,
                destruction, loss, or loss of use of any property (a "Loss")
                arising from any occurrence on the Premises or from Tenant's failure
                to
                perform its obligations under this Lease (other than a Loss arising
                from
                the sole or gross negligence of Landlord or its agents), even though
                caused or alleged to be caused by the joint, comparative, or concurrent
                negligence or fault of Landlord or its agents, and even though any
                such
                claim, cause of action, or suit is based upon or alleged to be based
                upon
                the strict liability of Landlord or its agents.  This
                indemnity provision is intended to indemnify Landlord and its agents
                against the consequences of their own negligence or fault as provided
                above when Landlord or its agents are jointly, comparatively, or
                concurrently negligent with Tenant.  This indemnity
                provision shall survive termination or expiration of this
                Lease.

                harmless Tenant and its agents from and against all claims, demands,
                liabilities, causes of action, suits, judgments, and expenses (including
                attorneys' fees) for any Loss arising from any occurrence in the

              WAIVER
                OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS.  Anything in this Lease to the

                all rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action, against

    policies
      referred to in Section 19 hereof, regardless of cause or origin, including
      negligence of the other party hereto, its agents, officers, or

      recovery, claim, action or cause of action hereby waived shall ever be assigned

              CASUALTY
                DAMAGE.  If the Premises or any part thereof shall be
                damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written
                notice
                thereof to Landlord.  If Landlord determines, in Landlord's good
                faith business judgment, that the damage by fire or other casualty
                precludes occupancy of any substantial part of the Premises, or if
                the
                Building is so damaged that in Landlord's judgment, substantial alteration
                or reconstruction of the Building is required (whether or not the
                Premises
                have been damaged by the casualty), or if any mortgagee of the Property
                requires application of the insurance proceeds to the reduction of
                the
                mortgage debt, or if any material uninsured loss occurs, or if such
                casualty occurs during the last two years of the Lease Term, Landlord
                may,
                at its option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant within 60
                days
                after the date of the casualty.  If Landlord does not elect to
                terminate this Lease, it shall, within 60 days after the date of
                the
                casualty, notify Tenant of that decision and of the estimated repair
                time.  If the damage reasonably precludes occupancy of any
                substantial part of the Premises and if the estimated repair time
                to
                restore that part of the Premises to a condition that reasonably
                permits
                occupancy will extend beyond one year after the date of the casualty,
                Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by so notifying Landlord
                within
                10 days after receipt of notice of Landlord's decision not to terminate
                this Lease.  If Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease (or
                if Landlord is not entitled to terminate this Lease if Tenant has
                the
                option under the preceding sentence), Landlord shall restore the
                Building
                to substantially its former condition as soon as reasonably
                possible.  Landlord shall not, however, be required to restore
                any part of the Building in excess of the Building Standard Improvements
                unless the proceeds of Tenant's fire and extended coverage insurance
                are
                made available to Landlord for that purpose, or to spend any amount
                in
                excess of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord as
                a result
                of the casualty.  Provided the fire or other casualty was not
                caused to any extent by the act or omission of Tenant or its employees,
                agents or contractors, Landlord shall allow Tenant a fair reduction
                of
                rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for
                occupancy.  If the Premises or any other portion of the Building
                be damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the fault or
                negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, employees, or invitees,
                the rent hereunder shall not be diminished during the repair of such
                damage and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost of the
                repair
                and restoration of the Building caused thereby to the extent such
                cost and
                expense is not covered by insurance
                proceeds.

                the whole or substantially the whole of the Building or the Premises
                should be taken for any public or quasi-public use, by right of eminent
                domain or otherwise, or should be sold in lieu of condemnation, then
                this

                is thus taken or sold, Landlord (whether or not the Premises are
                affected
                thereby) may terminate this Lease

            

    

    by
      giving written notice thereof to Tenant, in which event this Lease shall
      terminate as of the date when physical possession of such portion of the
      Building or Premises is taken by the condemning authority.  If this
      Lease is not so terminated upon any such taking or sale, the Base Rental payable
      hereunder shall be diminished by an equitable amount, and Landlord shall, to
      the
      extent Landlord deems feasible, restore the Building and the Premises to
      substantially their former condition, but such work shall not exceed the scope
      of the work done by Landlord in originally constructing the Building and
      installing Building Standard Improvements in the Premises, nor shall Landlord
      in
      any event be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount
      received by Landlord as compensation for such damage. All amounts awarded upon
      a
      taking of any part or all of the Property or the Premises shall belong to
      Landlord and Tenant shall not be entitled to and expressly waives all claim
      to
      any such compensation.

              DAMAGES
                FROM CERTAIN CAUSES.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant
                for any loss or damage to any property or person occasioned by theft,
                vandalism, misconduct of persons other than Landlord, fire, act of
                God,
                public enemy, injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court
                order,

                other
                cause beyond the control of Landlord.  Nor shall Landlord be
                liable for any damage or inconvenience which may arise through repair
                or
                alteration of any part of the Building or
                Premises.

              Upon
                the occurrence of any event or events of default by Tenant, whether

                any
                notice or demand for possession whatsoever (and without limiting
                the

                and all

              terminate

                the
                terms of this Lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand
                for
                any expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with
                Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Tenant further agrees

              (v)  

            	
              exercise
                any remedies that may be available under the Partnership Agreement
                as a
                result of a default by Tenant thereunder or hereunder;
                and

            

    

    

    
      	
              (vi)  

            	
              exercise
                all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including,
                without limitation, injunctive relief of all
                varieties.

            

    

    In
      the event Landlord elects to re-enter or take possession of the Premises after
      Tenant's default, Tenant hereby waives notice of such reentry or repossession
      and of Landlord's intent to re-enter or retake possession.  Landlord
      may, without prejudice to any other remedy which he may have for possession
      or
      arrearages in rent, expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be
      occupying said Premises or any part thereof.  In addition, the
      provisions of Section 28 hereof, shall apply with respect to the period from and
      after the giving of notice of such termination to Tenant.  All
      Landlord's remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.  In the
      event of any such default or breach by Tenant, Landlord may at any time
      thereafter, in his sole discretion, with or without notice or demand and without
      limiting Landlord in the exercise of a right or remedy which Landlord may have
      by reason of such default or breach, be entitled to recover from Tenant all
      damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default including, but not
      limited to:  the cost of recovering possession of the Premises;
      expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the
      Premises; reasonable attorney's fees; the amount of the excess of (i) the total
      rental and other benefits which Landlord would have received under this Lease
      for the remainder of the term together with all other expenses incurred by
      Landlord in connection with Tenant's default and (ii) the fair market value
      rental rate of the balance of the term as of the time of the breach or default;
      that portion of any leasing commission paid by Landlord with respect to this
      Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease by amortizing such
      commission over the Lease Term; and all other sums of money and damages owing
      by
      Tenant to Landlord.  Unpaid installments of rent or other sums shall
      bear interest from the date due at the lesser of the maximum legal rate or
      Prime
      Rate of the Bank of America, N.A. (or successor) plus 3%, plus late charges
      on
      the rent as noted in Section 5(b).  Forbearance by Landlord to enforce
      one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall
      not
      be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (c)

            	
              To
                the extent Landlord has a duty to mitigate Tenant’s damages as a result of
                Tenant’s default (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 35(r) to the
                contrary), Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises
                on
                such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may
                determine
                (including a term different from the Lease Term, rental concessions,
                and
                alterations to, and improvement of, the Premises); however, Landlord
                shall
                not be obligated to relet the Premises before leasing other portions
                of
                the Building.  Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall
                Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord's
                failure to relet the Premises or to collect rent due for such
                reletting.  Tenant shall not be entitled to the excess of any
                consideration obtained by reletting over the rent
                due

            

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -57-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    hereunder.  Reentry
      by Landlord in the Premises shall not affect Tenant's obligations hereunder
      for
      the unexpired Lease Term; rather, Landlord may, from time to time, bring action
      against Tenant to collect amounts due by Tenant, without the necessity of
      Landlord's waiting until the expiration of the Lease Term.  Unless
      Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant expressly stating that it has elected
      to terminate this

    Lease,
      all actions taken by Landlord to exclude or dispossess Tenant of the Premises
      shall be deemed to be taken under Section 26(b)(ii) above.  If
      Landlord elects to proceed under Section 26(b)(ii) or (iii), it may at any
      time
      elect to terminate this Lease under Section 26(b)(i) above.

    

    
      	
               

            	
                  
                (d)

            	
              Additionally,
                without notice, Landlord may alter locks or other security devices
                at the
                Premises to deprive Tenant of access thereto, and Landlord shall
                not be
                required to provide a new key or right of access to
                Tenant.

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
                  
                (e)

            	
              This
                Section 26 shall be enforceable to the maximum extent not prohibited
                by
                applicable law, and the unenforceability of any portion thereof shall
                not
                thereby render unenforceable any other portion.  Upon any event
                of default by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs incurred
                by
                Landlord (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
                expenses) in (i) obtaining possession of the Premises, (ii) removing
                and
                storing Tenant's or any other occupant's property, (iii) repairing,
                restoring, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises
                into
                condition acceptable to a new tenant, (iv) if Tenant is dispossessed
                of
                the Premises and this Lease is not terminated, reletting all or any
                part
                of the Premises (including brokerage commissions, cost of tenant
                finish
                work, and other costs incidental to such reletting), (v) performing
                Tenant's obligations which Tenant failed to perform, and (vi) enforcing,
                or advising Landlord of, its rights, remedies, and recourses arising
                out
                of the event of default.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (f)  

            	
              In
                the event Tenant becomes indebted to Landlord for any amounts owed
                under
                this Lease (whether or not Landlord has elected to formally declare
                a
                default under this Lease) that are not paid when due (in each case,
                a
                "Delinquent Sum"), Tenant hereby expressly authorizes Landlord to
                withhold from Tenant the payment of any dividend or distribution on
                or with respect to its partnership interest in Landlord, and any
                other
                payment with respect to such partnership interests made by or on
                behalf of
                Landlord or any partner thereof and to apply the amounts so withheld
                against Delinquent Sums (including any late charges and interest
                applicable thereto) until such amounts have been fully paid and
                discharged.  The provisions of this paragraph (f) shall not
                apply after Fairways 2001 Office Partners, Ltd. transfers the Property
                to
                a third party in which Tenant owns no
                interest.

              Landlord's
                acceptance of rent following an event of default shall not waive
                Landlord's rights regarding such event of default.  No waiver by
                Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms contained
                herein
                shall waive Landlord's rights regarding any future violation of such
                term
                or violation of any other term.

              Landlord
                shall be in default hereunder in the event Landlord has not begun
                and
                pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of Landlord
                to
                meet its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days of the receipt
                by
                Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to
                perform.  In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to
                the exercise of any such remedies, it will give the mortgagees holding
                mortgages on the Property notice and a reasonable time to cure any
                default
                by Landlord.  Tenant's obligation to pay rent is an independent
                covenant, and the occurrence of a default by Landlord shall not entitle
                Tenant to withhold rent or offset alleged damages against
                rent.

              PEACEFUL
                ENJOYMENT.  Provided Tenant has performed all of the terms
                and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall
                peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the Lease Term,
                without hindrance from Landlord or any party claiming by, through,
                or
                under Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions of this
                Lease.

              HOLDING
                OVER.  In the event of holding over by Tenant after
                expiration or other termination of this Lease or in the event Tenant
                continues to occupy the Premises after the termination of Tenant's
                right
                of possession pursuant to Section 26(b) hereof, Tenant shall be a
                tenant
                at will and, in addition to all other damages and remedies to which
                Landlord may be entitled for such holding over, throughout the entire
                holdover period, Tenant shall pay rent equal to 150% of the Base
                Rental
                and additional Base Rental which would have been applicable had the
                term
                of this Lease continued through the period of such holding over by
                Tenant
                and, in addition to such rent, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord
                for any
                damages suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's
                holdover.  No holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the
                term of this Lease shall be construed to extend the term of this
                Lease.

              SUBORDINATION
                TO MORTGAGE.

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)

            	
              Tenant
                accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed
                of trust
                or other lien presently existing or hereafter arising upon the Premises,
                upon the Building or upon the Property as a whole, and to any renewals,
                refinancing and extensions thereof, but Tenant agrees that any such
                mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate such mortgage,
                deed of trust or other lien to this Lease on such term and subject
                to such
                conditions as such mortgagee may deem appropriate in its
                discretion.  Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full
                power and authority to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage, deed
                of
                trust or other lien now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises,
                the Building or the Property as a whole, and Tenant agrees upon demand
                to
                execute such further instruments subordinating this Lease (or such
                mortgage to this Lease) or attorning to the holder of any such liens
                as
                Landlord may request.  In the event that Tenant should fail to
                execute any such instrument promptly as requested, Tenant hereby
                irrevocably constitutes Landlord as its attorney-in-fact
                to

            

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -59-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    execute
      such instrument in Tenant's name, place and stead, it being agreed that such
      power is one coupled with an interest.  Tenant agrees that it will
      from time to time upon request by Landlord execute and deliver to such persons
      as Landlord shall request a statement in recordable form certifying that this
      Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been
      modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as so modified),
      stating the dates to which rent and other charges payable under this Lease
      have
      been paid, stating that Landlord is not in default hereunder (or if Tenant
      alleges a default stating the nature of such alleged default) and further
      stating such other matters as Landlord shall reasonably require.

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)

            	
              Nothing
                contained in this Section 29, however, shall be construed to impose
                upon Tenant any legal or financial obligation nor require Tenant
                to
                effectuate such a subordination unless, in the latter circumstance,
                the
                mortgagee, trust holder, secured party, or beneficiary named in the
                pertinent instrument shall first agree in writing that any proceeding
                to
                foreclose, sell, or any other action taken under such instrument
                shall not
                effect this Lease or any of the rights of Tenant hereunder for so
                long as
                Tenant shall not be held in default by Landlord of any of the provisions,
                covenants or conditions of the Lease, and shall continue to make
                the
                payments required hereunder to the appropriate designated
                party.

            

    

    

    
      	
              30.

            	
              SIGNAGE.  Landlord
                reserves full right of approval and rejection of any and all of Tenant's
                signs on the Premises, which approval will not be unreasonably
                withheld.

            

    

    

    
      	
              31.

            	
              PERSONAL
                LIABILITY.  The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any
                default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be limited
                to
                Landlord's interest in the Building and the Property, and Tenant
                agrees to
                look solely to Landlord's interest in the Building and the Property
                for
                recovery of any judgment from Landlord, it being intended that Landlord
                shall not be personally liable for any judgment or
                deficiency.

            

    

    

    
      	
              31.

            	
              COMMISSIONS.  Landlord
                and Tenant hereby indemnify and hold each other harmless against
                any loss,
                claim, expense or liability with respect to any commissions or brokerage
                fees claimed on account of the execution and/or renewal of this Lease
                due
                to any action of the indemnifying
                party.

            

    

    

    
      	
              33.

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

            

    

    

    (i)           To
      decorate and to make inspections, repairs, alterations, additions, changes,
      or
      improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Building, or
      any
      part thereof; for such purposes, to enter upon the Premises and, during the
      continuance of any such work, to temporarily close doors, entryways, public
      space, and corridors in the Building; to interrupt or temporarily suspend
      Building services and facilities; and to change the

    
      
        
        

      

      
        -60-

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    arrangement
      and location of entrances or passageways, doors, and doorways, corridors,
      stairs, restrooms, or other public parts of the Building;

    

    (ii)                      To
      take such reasonable measures as Landlord deems advisable for the security
      of
      the Building and its occupants, including without limitation searching all
      persons entering or leaving the Building; evacuating the Building for cause,
      suspected cause, or for drill purposes; temporarily denying access to the
      Building; and closing the Building after normal business hours and on Saturdays,
      Sundays, and holidays, subject, however, to Tenant's right to enter when the
      Building is closed after normal business hours under such reasonable
      regula­tions as Landlord may prescribe from time to time which may include
      by way of example, but not of limitation, that persons entering or leaving
      the
      Building, whether or not during normal business hours, identify themselves
      to a
      security officer by registration or otherwise and that such persons establish
      their right to enter or leave the Build­ing;

    

    (iii)                      To
      change the name by which the Building is designated; and

    

    (iv)                      To
      enter the Premises at all reasonable hours to show the Premises to prospective
      purchasers, lenders, or tenants.

              GENERAL
                PROVISIONS.

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (a)

            	
              Attorney's
                Fees.  In the event either party defaults in the performance
                of any of the terms of this Lease and the other party employs an
                attorney
                in connection therewith, the defaulting party agrees to pay the prevailing
                party's reasonable attorneys' fees and court
                costs.

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (b)

            	
              No
                Implied Waiver.  The failure of Landlord to insist at any
                time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement herein,
                or
                to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this
                Lease
                shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for
                the
                future.  No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser
                amount than the monthly installment of rent due under this Lease
                shall be
                deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent due hereunder,
                nor
                shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying
                any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction,
                and
                Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's
                right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy
                in
                this Lease provided.

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (c)

            	
              Notice.  Any
                notice in this Lease provided for must, unless otherwise expressly
                provided herein, be in writing, and may, unless otherwise in this
                Lease
                expressly provided, be given or be served by depositing the same
                in the
                United States mail, postpaid and certified and addressed to the party
                to
                be notified, with return receipt requested, or by delivering the
                same in
                person to an officer of such party, or by prepaid telegram, or by

    party
      to be notified at the address stated in this Lease or such other address notice
      of which has been given to the other party.  Notice deposited in the

              (d)

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

            

    

    

    
      	
               

            	
              (e)

            	
              Recordation.  Tenant
                agrees not to record this Lease, or any memorandum hereof.  In
                the event Landlord's first mortgagee may so require, Tenant agrees
                to
                execute a short form of this Lease for
                recordation.

              Governing
                Law.  This Lease and the rights and obligations of the
                parties hereto shall be interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance
                with the laws of the State of
                Texas.

              Force
                Majeure.  Whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for
                the taking of any action by Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable
                or
                responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation
                of such
                period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages
                of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations or
                restrictions, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the control of
                Landlord.

              Effect

              Waiver
                of Warranties.  For and in consideration of Landlord's
                execution of this Lease, Tenant waives any implied or express warranties
                of habitability, suitability, merchantability, quality, condition
                or
                fitness for a particular purpose with respect to the
                Premises.  In addition, the taking of possession of the Premises
                by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant has inspected
                the
                Premises and is thoroughly familiar with its condition, and Tenant
                hereby
                accepts the Premises as being in good and satisfactory condition
                and
                suitable for their intended commercial
                purpose.

              Entire
                Agreement.  This Lease contains all of the terms, promises,
                covenants, conditions and representations made or entered into between
                Landlord and Tenant concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
                all prior discussions and agreements, whether written or oral, between
                Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease
                and
                constitutes the sole and entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant
                relating thereto.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (n)  

            	
              Waiver
                of Right To Contest Taxes.   Tenant hereby waives any
                right it may have under Section 41.413 of Texas Tax Code to protest
                the
                appraised value of all or any portion of the Premises and the Building,
                and any right it may have under Section 42.015 of the Texas Tax Code
                to
                appeal an order of the appraisal review board with respect to all
                or any
                portion of the Premises and/or the Building.  Tenant agrees that
                Landlord shall have the sole right to protest any appraisals of the
                Premises and the Building.  Tenant also hereby waives any right
                it may have to receive a copy of any notice received by Landlord
                of
                reappraisal of all or any portion of the Premises and/or the Building,
                including without limitation any notice required under Section 41.413(d)
                of the Texas Tax Code.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be
                liable to Tenant for any damages for Landlord’s failure to send to Tenant
                a copy of any invoice of reappraisal concerning the Premises and/or
                the
                Building, irrespective of any obligation under applicable law of
                Landlord
                to provide such notice.  Not withstanding the foregoing, if
                Tenant protests, challenges or appeals any valuation for property
                tax
                purposes of all or any portion of the Premises and/or the Building,
                and
                such valuation increases from the value protested, appealed, or
                challenged, Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord on an after-tax basis
                for
                any property taxes due as a result of such
                increase.

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

              Amendments;
                and Binding Effect.  This Lease may not be amended except by
                instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.  No
                provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord
                unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord, and no custom
                or
                practice which may evolve between the parties in the administration
                of the
                terms hereof shall waive or diminish the right of Landlord to insist
                upon
                the performance by Tenant in strict accor­dance with the terms
                hereof.  The terms and conditions contained in this Lease shall
                inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and
                upon
                their respective successors in interest and legal representatives,
                except
                as otherwise herein expressly provided.  This Lease is for the
                sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and, other than Landlord's Mortgagee,
                no third party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary
                hereof.

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

                Landlord agrees that such consent shall be given or withheld based
                on
                Landlord's good faith business judgment and that Landlord will not
                act

                judgment.

    Tenant's
      rights under this Exhibit shall terminate if (i) this Lease or Tenant's right
      to
      possession of the Premises is terminated, (ii) Tenant assigns any of its
      interest in this Lease or sublets any portion of the Premises, or (iii) Tenant
      fails to timely exercise its option under this Exhibit, time being of the

    WHEREAS,
      upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance
      with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (''Delaware Law'')
      and
      the corporate law contained in the Nevada Revised Statutes (“Nevada Law”), and
      for the reasons listed below, VIBE shall exchange 100% of its issued and

      subsidiary of BAQG (the “Exchange”); and

    

    WHEREAS,
      the Board of Directors of BAQG has determined that the Exchange is consistent
      with and in furtherance of the long-term business strategies of BAQG and is
      fair
      to, and in the best interest of, BAQG and its stockholders (the ''BAQG
      Stockholders'') and has approved and adopted this Agreement and has approved

      Exchange and the other transactions contemplated hereby; and

    

    WHEREAS,
      the Board of Directors of VIBE has determined that the Exchange is consistent
      with and in furtherance of the long-term business strategies of VIBE and is
      fair
      to, and in the best interest of, VIBE and its stockholders (the ''VIBE
      Stockholders'') and has approved and adopted this Agreement and has approved
      the
      Exchange and the other transactions contemplated hereby and recommended approval
      and adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Exchange by the VIBE
      Stockholders; and

    

    WHEREAS,
      for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Exchange qualify as
      a
      tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the United
      States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ''Code'');

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations,
      warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties
      hereto agree as follows:

    

    1.
      The
      Exchange

    

    Section
      1.1. The Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
      this Agreement, and in accordance with Nevada Law, at the Effective Time (as
      herein defined), 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
      of
      VIBE (the “VIBE Shares”) shall be exchanged for 13,390,930 shares of common
      stock of BAQG (the “BAQG Shares”).

    

    Section
      1.2. Consummation of the Exchange. Unless this Agreement shall have been
      terminated and the transactions herein contemplated shall have been abandoned
      pursuant to Article 8 and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the
      conditions set forth in Article 6, the consummation of the Exchange will take
      place as promptly as practicable after the later of (i) the satisfaction or
      waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 7 or (ii) December 15, 2007,
      unless another date, time and place is agreed to in writing by the parties
      hereto.

    

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    Section
      1.3. Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver
      of the conditions set forth in Article 7, the parties hereto shall cause the
      Exchange to be consummated by the issuance of the BAQG Shares in the names
      and
      amounts as listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and totaling 13,390,930 common
      shares of BAQG stock.  The BAQG Shares shall not be adjusted for any
      stock split, share dividend or recapitalization entered into by BAQG subsequent
      to this Agreement, provided that such an event does not violate any covenant
      or
      representation contained in this Agreement.  At the same time, VIBE
      shall cause the 14,113,963 VIBE Shares constituting 100% of the issued and
      outstanding capital stock of VIBE to be issued in the name of BAQG and exchanged
      for the BAQG Shares.

    

    Section
      1.4.  Further Actions. At and after the Effective Time, the Surviving
      Corporation shall take all action as shall be required in connection with the
      Exchange, including, but not limited to, the execution and delivery of any
      further deeds, assignments, instruments or documentation as are necessary or
      desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

    

    2.
      Conversion and Exchange of Shares

    

    Section
      2.1. Exchange Ratio. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Exchange and
      without any action on the part of any holder of any shares of VIBE Shares,
      Holders of VIBE Shares shall receive 13,390,930 shares of BAQG stock for 100%
      of
      the issued and outstanding capital stock of VIBE totaling 14,113,963 shares
      (the
“Exchange Ratio”).

    

    2.1.1.
      Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 7.2.5 hereof, each share
      of
      VIBE capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
      Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Exchange Ratio of fully
      paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of
      BAQG. All such VIBE Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding
      and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist,
      and
      each holder of a certificate representing any such shares shall cease to have
      any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of
      BAQG  and any cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section
      2.4 hereof, all to be issued or paid in consideration for such certificate
      upon
      the surrender thereof in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof.

    

    2.1.3.
      As
      neither BAQG nor VIBE shall have any outstanding options, warrants or other
      rights to acquire any capital stock outstanding at the Effective Time, no
      exchange shall be made of options to acquire any capital stock in VIBE for
      any
      shares of BAQG.

    

    Section
      2.2. Exchange Procedures

    

    2.2.1.
      Immediately prior to the Effective Time, BAQG shall deposit with an exchange
      agent (the ''Exchange Agent'') designated by BAQG, which shall be reasonably
      satisfactory to VIBE, in trust for the VIBE Stockholders of record immediately
      prior to the Effective Time, certificates representing the aggregate number
      of
      shares of BAQG issuable pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof in exchange for the
      total outstanding shares of VIBE immediately prior to the Effective Time in
      the
      amounts and in the names as listed in Exhibit A attached hereto.

    

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    2.2.2.
      As
      soon as practicable after the Effective Time, BAQG shall cause the Exchange
      Agent to mail to each VIBE Stockholder a letter of transmittal and instructions
      for use in effecting the surrender of certificates representing shares of VIBE
      outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the ''Certificates'')
      in
      appropriate and customary form with such provisions as VIBE (prior to the
      Exchange) and BAQG may reasonably specify. Upon surrender of a Certificate
      for
      cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal,
      duly and properly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled
      to
      receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole
      shares of BAQG Common which such holder has a right to receive pursuant to
      the
      provisions of this Article 2. BAQG shall cause all such BAQG Shares issued
      pursuant to the Exchange to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
      and
      nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights.

    

    2.2.3.
      If
      any certificate representing VIBE Shares is to be issued in a name other than
      that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered,
      it
      shall be a condition of such exchange and/or payment, as the case may be that
      the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in
      proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange and/or
      payment, as the case may be, shall pay any transfer or other taxes required
      by
      reason of the issuance of certificates for such BAQG Shares, in a name other
      than that of, and/or payment to a person other than, as the case may be, the
      registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered.

    

    2.2.4.
      In
      the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the
      making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate
      to
      be lost, stolen or destroyed and upon the posting by such person of a bond
      in
      such amount as BAQG may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that
      may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent
      will
      issue in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Exchange
      Consideration with respect to the BAQG Shares represented thereof.

    

    Section
      2.3. Dividends and Distributions. No dividends or other distributions declared
      or made with respect to BAQG Shares with a record date on or after the date
      of
      the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of a Certificate entitled by
      reason of the Exchange to receive certificates representing BAQG Shares until
      such holder surrenders such Certificate as provided in Section 2.2 hereof,
      provided that there shall be paid forthwith by BAQG to the person in whose
      name
      certificates representing shares of BAQG Shares shall be issued pursuant to
      the
      terms of this Article 2 (i) at the time of the surrender of such Certificate,
      the amount of any dividends and other distributions theretofore paid with
      respect to that number of whole shares of BAQG  represented by such
      surrendered Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Article 2, which dividends
      or other distributions had a record date on or after the date of Effective
      Time
      and a payment date prior to such surrender and (ii) at the appropriate payment
      date, the amount of dividends and other distributions payable with respect
      to
      that number of whole shares of BAQG represented by such surrendered Certificate
      pursuant to the terms of Article 2, which dividends or other distributions
      have
      a record date on or after the date of Effective Time and a payment date
      subsequent to such surrender.

    

    Section
      2.4. No Fractional Shares

    

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    2.4.1.
      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no certificates or scrip
      evidencing fractional shares of BAQG shall be issued upon the surrender for
      exchange of Certificates, but instead any holder of VIBE Shares who would
      otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share shall receive one whole
      share of BAQG in lieu of any fractional share they might otherwise be entitled
      to by the Exchange Ratio.

    

    Section
      2.5.  Adjustment of Exchange Ratio. In the event of any
      reclassification, stock split (including reverse stock split), stock dividend
      or
      other general distribution of securities, cash or other property with respect
      to
      BAQG Shares (or if a record date with respect to any of the foregoing should
      occur) on or after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the date of
      the
      Effective Time, appropriate and equitable adjustments, if any, shall be made
      to
      the Exchange Ratio, if and only if the absence of such adjustments would cause
      any covenant or representation of BAQG in this Agreement to be
      violated.

    

    Section
      2.6. Transfers Following the Effective Time. The stock transfer books of the
      VIBE shall be closed as of the Effective Time, and thereafter there shall be
      no
      further registration of transfers of VIBE Shares that were outstanding prior
      to
      the Effective Time.

    

    3.
      Representations and Warranties of VIBE

    

    VIBE
      represents and warrants to BAQG that, except as set forth in the schedule
      delivered to the BAQG concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, which
      schedule shall identify exceptions and other information by specific Section
      references and shall be initialed by the BAQG and VIBE for identification
      purposes (the ''VIBE Disclosure Schedule''):

    

    Section
      3.1. VIBE is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
      under Delaware Law. The VIBE Disclosure Schedule contains a list of the name
      and
      jurisdiction of organization of each subsidiary of VIBE (each such corporation,
      partnership or other entity being referred to herein individually as a ''VIBE
      Subsidiary'' and collectively, as the ''VIBE Subsidiaries'') and VIBE ownership
      interest with respect thereto. Each VIBE Subsidiary is a corporation or
      partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
      laws
      of its place of incorporation.

    

    Section
      3.2. VIBE and each VIBE Subsidiary (i) has all requisite corporate power and
      authority to own, lease and operate its properties and carry on its business
      as
      now being conducted and (ii) is duly qualified and in good standing to do
      business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the nature
      or location of its assets require such qualification and where the failure
      to be
      so qualified and in good standing would have a Material Adverse Effect on VIBE.
      For purposes of this Agreement, ''Material Adverse Effect'' means, with respect
      to VIBE, a materially adverse effect on the business, results of operation,
      financial condition, properties or assets of VIBE and the VIBE Subsidiaries,
      taken as a whole.

    

    Section
      3.3. VIBE has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this
      Agreement and, subject to approval and adoption of this Agreement by the holders
      of a majority of the outstanding shares of VIBE Common, to consummate the
      transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
      by VIBE and the performance by VIBE, subject to approval and adoption of this
      Agreement by the VIBE Stockholders, of its obligations hereunder have been
      duly
      authorized and approved by all requisite corporate action and no other corporate
      proceedings on the part of VIBE are necessary to authorize this Agreement or
      for
      VIBE to consummate the Exchange. This Agreement has been duly executed and
      delivered by duly authorized officers of VIBE and constitutes a valid and
      binding obligation of VIBE, enforceable against VIBE in accordance with its
      terms.

    

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    Section
      3.4. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration,
      declaration or filing with any court, administrative agency or commission or
      other governmental authority or instrumentality (each of the foregoing being
      a
      ''Governmental Entity''), is required by or with respect to VIBE or any VIBE
      Subsidiary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement
      by
      VIBE or the consummation by VIBE of the transactions contemplated
      hereby.

    

    Section
      3.5. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by VIBE, nor the
      consummation by VIBE of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) conflict
      with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of VIBE Certificate
      of Incorporation or By-Laws, (ii) violate any statute or administrative
      regulation, or any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court
      or
      governmental authority or any arbitration award to which VIBE is a party or
      by
      which VIBE is bound, or (iii) violate, conflict with, breach, constitute a
      default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
      constitute or default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate
      the
      performance required by, or result in the creation of any lien or other
      encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of VIBE or any VIBE Subsidiary
      under, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease,
      agreement or other instrument or obligation to which VIBE or any VIBE Subsidiary
      is a party or to which they or any of their respective properties or assets
      are
      subject.

      3.6. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of VIBE consists of
      VIBE Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and preferred stock, par value
      $0.001 per share (the ''VIBE Preferred''). As of the date hereof, 50,000,000
      shares of VIBE Common were authorized, 14,113,963 shares of VIBE Common were
      issued and outstanding or will be issued and outstanding prior to the Effective
      Time. As of the date hereof 5,000,000 shares of VIBE Preferred were authorized,
      none of which will be issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time. There
      are no other shares of capital stock of VIBE authorized, issued or outstanding.
      All of the issued and outstanding shares of VIBE Common have been duly
      authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. Except as
      set
      forth on the VIBE Disclosure Schedule, there are no subscriptions, options,
      warrants, rights (including preemptive rights), calls, convertible securities
      or
      other agreements or commitments of any character relating to the issued or
      unissued capital stock or other securities of VIBE obligating VIBE to issue
      any
      securities of any kind.

    

    Section
      3.7. The financial statements of VIBE included in Exhibit B to be attached
      hereto have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles ("GAAP'') consistently applied (except as may be indicated in the
      notes thereto or) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
      financial position of VIBE as at the dates thereof and the consolidated results
      of its operations, cash flows and changes in financial position for the periods
      indicated therein.

    

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    Section
      3.8. Except as otherwise disclosed in the VIBE Disclosure Schedule, VIBE and
      the
      VIBE Subsidiaries do not have any liabilities or obligations of any nature
      (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) other than liabilities
      or
      obligations which would not, individually or in the aggregate exceed
      $10,000.

    

    Section
      3.9. VIBE has not suffered or, to VIBE' knowledge, been threatened with any
      change (other than changes generally affecting the industries in which VIBE
      or
      any VIBE Subsidiary operates or changes relating to the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement) which could have a Material Adverse Effect
      on
      VIBE; and (ii) VIBE and the VIBE Subsidiaries have operated only in the ordinary
      course of business consistent with past practice.

    Section
      6.1 BAQG Closing Conditions.  Prior to the Effective Time, BAQG shall
      have effected a 1.5 for 1 forward split or share dividend and appointed two
      representatives designated by VIBE to the BAQG board of directors, which shall
      consist of three members at the Effective Time.  BAQG shall not have
      violated any term or condition of this Agreement and there shall be no adverse
      event or change in BAQG or its business.  BAQG shall have provided a
      certificate from its President and CEO certifying that it is in compliance
      with
      all representations, warranties and covenants of this Agreement and an opinion
      of counsel to BAQG that the BAQG Shares, when issued, will be validly issued,
      fully paid and non-assessable. BAQG does not currently have authorized enough
      shares to issue all of the BAQG Shares.  If all other conditions have
      been met under this Section 6.1, VIBE may, at its sole discretion, allow the
      Exchange to take place and have such shares as are issuable to VIBE in excess
      of
      the authorized shares of BAQG be issued at a later time when sufficient common
      stock is authorized.  In this event, VIBE will designate in writing
      which BAQG Shares are to remain unissued until such an increase in the
      authorized shares takes place. However, the full number of VIBE Shares must
      still be cancelled and issued to BAQG, holders of VIBE Shares not receiving
      BAQG
      Shares at the Effective Time simply having a right to receive such shares when
      the authorized shares of BAQG shall increase sufficiently to permit such an
      issuance.

    

    Section
      6.2 VIBE Closing Conditions.  Prior to the Effective Time, VIBE shall
      have caused all of its issued and outstanding preferred shares to be converted
      into common shares.  VIBE shall not have violated any term or
      condition of this Agreement and there shall be no adverse event or change in
      VIBE or its business.  VIBE shall have provided a certificate from its
      President and CEO certifying that it is in compliance with all representations,
      warranties and covenants of this Agreement and an opinion of counsel to VIBE
      that the VIBE Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and
      non-assessable.  VIBE shall also have secured an affirmative vote of
      the VIBS Shareholders in accordance with Delaware Law approving the
      Exchange.

      by

      the
      right to terminate this Agreement under this section 8.1.2 shall not be
      available to any party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations under
      this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the occurrence of the event
      above;

    

    

    
      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

    8.1.3.
      by
      VIBE (with the approval of its Board of Directors), by giving written notice
      of
      such termination to the Company, if (i) there has been a material breach of
      any
      material agreement of the Company herein, such that in the reasonable opinion
      of
      VIBE, the condition to closing in Section 6 could not be expected to be
      satisfied by the termination date contemplated by Section 8.1.2 hereof, (ii)
      there has been a material breach of any material representation or warranty
      of
      BAQG herein such that, in the reasonable opinion of VIBE, the condition to
      closing in Section 6 could not be expected to be satisfied by the termination
      date contemplated by Section 8.1.2 hereof; or (iii) the VIBE stockholders do
      not
      approve and adopt this Agreement; or

    

    8.1.4.
      by
      BAQG (with the approval of its Board of Directors), by giving written notice
      of
      such termination to VIBE, if (i) there has been a material breach of any
      material agreement of VIBE herein, such that in the reasonable opinion of BAQG
      the condition to closing in Section 6 could not be expected to be satisfied
      by
      the termination date contemplated by Section 8.1.2 hereof, (ii) there has been
      a
      material breach of any material representation or warranty of VIBE herein such
      that in the reasonable opinion of the Company, the condition to closing in
      Section 6 could not be expected to be satisfied by the termination date
      contemplated by Section 8.1.2 hereof; (iii) the Board of Directors of the
      Company fails to make, withdraws, or modifies or changes the recommendation
      referred to in Section 6.2 based on its good faith determination, after
      consultation with counsel, that making such recommendation, or the failure
      to
      withdraw, modify or change such recommendation, could reasonably be deemed
      a
      breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; (iv) Timothy Olphie shall
      be the holder of less than 500,000 common shares of BAQG immediately prior
      to
      the Effective Time and prior to the Exchange.

    

    Section
      8.2. Certain Effects of Termination. In the event of the termination of this
      agreement as provided in Section 8.1 hereof:

    

    8.2.1.
      Except as provided in Sections 8.2.2, 8.2.3 and 9.6 hereof, this Agreement
      shall
      forthwith become void, there shall be no liability on the part of VIBE or the
      BAQG or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors and all rights
      and obligations of any party hereto shall cease; provided, however, that nothing
      herein shall relieve any party from liability for the willful breach of any
      of
      its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this
      Agreement, prior to such termination;

    

    8.2.2.
      Each party, if so requested by the other party, will return promptly every
      document furnished to it by or on behalf of the other party in connection with
      the transaction contemplated hereby, whether so obtained before or after the
      execution of this Agreement, and any copies thereof (except for copies of
      documents publicly available) which may have been made, and will use reasonable
      efforts to cause its representatives and any representatives of financial
      institutions and investors and others to whom such documents were furnished
      promptly to return such documents and any copies thereof any of them may have
      made; and

    

    This
      Section 8.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
