                               SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

        THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as this "Sublease"),
entered into as of March 15, 1999, is made by and between ADOBE SYSTEMS INC.
(herein called "Sublandlord") and GETTY IMAGES, INC. (herein called
"Subtenant"), with reference to the following facts:

        A.     Pursuant to that certain Lease dated October 31, 1996 (the
"Master Lease"), a copy of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, The Quadrant
Corporation, predecessor in interest to the Bedford Company ("Landlord"), as
Landlord, leased to Sublandlord, as tenant, certain space (the "Master Lease
Premises") in the Plaza Building located at The Quadrant Lake Union Center (the
"Building").

        B.     Subtenant wishes to sublease from Sublandlord, and Sublandlord
wishes to sublease to Subtenant, approximately 72,610 rentable square feet of
space comprising approximately 34,615 rentable square feet on the second floor
(the "Second Floor"), and approximately 37,995 rentable square feet on the
fourth floor (the "Fourth Floor") of the Building, as depicted on the floor plan
attached hereto as EXHIBIT B (hereinafter called the "Subleased Premises").

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged by the parties, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree as follows:

        1.     Sublease. Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant
hereby subleases from Sublandlord for the term, at the rental, and upon all of
the conditions set forth herein, the Subleased Premises.

        2.     Term.

               2.1    Term. The term of this Sublease ("Term") shall commence on
May 1, 1999 with respect to the Second Floor and on June 1, 1999 with respect to
the Fourth Floor, and end on May 31, 2004 (the "Expiration Date"), unless sooner
terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.

               2.2    Early Entry and Occupancy. Subtenant may enter the
Subleased Premises prior to May 1, 1999 for the purpose of moving in and
installing its fixtures, furniture and equipment, provided that Subtenant's
activities do not unreasonably interfere with Sublandlord's performance of the
Sublandlord's Work. Any such occupancy shall be on all the terms and conditions
of this Sublease, except the obligation to pay Base Rent. Following completion
of Sublandlord's Work, Subtenant may occupy the Subleased Premises prior to May
1, 1999 for the purposes described in Section 4.1; provided, however, that there
shall be no charge for such early occupancy so long as Subtenant is occupying no
more than 6,000 square feet of the Subleased Premises.

<PAGE>   3

               2.3    Extension Option. Notwithstanding any terms of this
Sublease to the contrary, provided Sublandlord does not by written notice to
Subtenant on or before May 31, 2003 exercise its right to occupy the Subleased
Premises for the operation of its own business, Sublandlord hereby grants
Subtenant an option to extend the term of this Sublease for one additional
period ending July 15, 2010, upon the same terms and conditions contained
herein, except that (A) the Base Rent for the Subleased Premises shall be equal
to the fair market base rent for the Premises determined in the manner set forth
in Section 2.3(a), (B) Subtenant shall accept the Subleased Premises in an "as
is" condition without any obligation of Sublandlord to repaint, remodel, repair,
improve or alter the Subleased Premises, and (C) there shall be no further
options to extend the term of this Sublease. Subtenant must exercise the option
granted herein by written notice to Sublandlord no earlier than May 31, 2003 and
no later than June 30, 2003. In the event Subtenant fails to timely exercise the
option granted herein, Subtenant shall have no right to extend the term of this
Sublease. If Subtenant properly exercises the option granted herein, references
in this Sublease to the "term" shall be deemed to include the option term unless
the context clearly provides otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, all option rights of Subtenant pursuant to this Section shall
automatically terminate without notice and shall be of no further force and
effect, whether or not Subtenant has timely exercised the option granted herein,
if a default (after notice and the passage of any applicable cure period) exists
at the time of exercise of the option or at the time of commencement of the
option term.

                      (a)    If Subtenant properly exercises its option to
extend the term of this Sublease, the Base Rent during the option term shall be
equal to the fair market base rent for the Subleased Premises as of the date
Subtenant exercised the option for a term equal to the option term, as specified
by Sublandlord by notice to Subtenant not greater than ninety (90) days
following Subtenant's exercise of such option, subject to Subtenant's right of
arbitration as set forth below. If Subtenant believes that the fair market base
rent specified by Sublandlord exceeds the actual fair market base rent for the
Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord. If Subtenant fails to so
notify Sublandlord within ten (10) business days following receipt of
Sublandlord's notice, Sublandlord's determination of the fair market base rent
for the Subleased Premises shall be final and binding upon the parties. If the
parties are unable to agree upon the fair market base rent for the Subleased
Premises within ten (10) business days after Sublandlord's receipt of notice of
Subtenant's objection, the amount of base rent for the option term shall be
determined as follows:

                             (i)    Within twenty (20) business days after the
expiration of the above-mentioned ninety (90) day period, Subtenant, at its sole
expense, shall obtain and deliver in writing to Sublandlord a determination of
the fair market base rent for the Subleased Premises for a term equal to the
option term (taking into account the considerations set forth in the definition
of Fair Market Rent in Section 3 of the Master Lease) from a broker
("Subtenant's Broker") licensed in the State of Washington and engaged in the
office brokerage business in the City of Seattle for at least the immediately
preceding five (5) years. If Sublandlord accepts such determination within
fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof, the Base Rent for the option term shall
be the amount equal to the amount determined by Subtenant's Broker.
Sublandlord's failure to respond to Subtenant's Broker's determination within
such fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed to constitute Sublandlord's
acceptance of such determination.

                                       2
<PAGE>   4

                             (ii)   If Sublandlord does not accept such
determination, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the determination of
Subtenant's Broker, Sublandlord shall designate a broker ("Sublandlord's
Broker") licensed in the State of Washington and engaged in the office brokerage
business in the City of Seattle for at least the immediately preceding five (5)
years. Sublandlord's Broker and Subtenant's Broker shall name a third broker,
similarly qualified, within five (5) business days after the appointment of
Sublandlord's Broker. Each of said three brokers shall determine the current
fair market base rent for the Subleased Premises for a term equal to the option
term of the Lease (taking into account the considerations set forth in the
definition of Fair Market Rent in Section 3 of the Master Lease) within fifteen
(15) days after the appointment of the third broker. The Base Rent payable by
Subtenant effective as of the commencement of the option term shall be the
amount equal to the arithmetic average of such three determinations; provided,
however, that if any such broker's determination deviates more than ten percent
(10%) from the median of such determinations, the Base Rent payable shall be an
amount equal to the average of the two closest determinations.

                      (b)    Sublandlord shall pay the costs and fees of
Sublandlord's Broker in connection with any determination hereunder, and
Subtenant shall pay the costs and fees of Subtenant's Broker in connection with
such determination. The costs and fees of any third broker shall be paid
one-half by Sublandlord and one-half by Subtenant.

                      (c)    If the amount of the fair market base rent is not
known as of the commencement of the option term, then Subtenant shall continue
to pay the Base Rent in effect at the expiration of the initial term until the
amount of the fair market base rent is determined. When such determination is
made, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord any deficiency upon demand.

        3.     Rent.

               3.1    Rent Payments. On or before the first day of each calendar
month during the Term, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Base Rent for the
Subleased Premises during the Term the following sums:

June 1, 1999 - May 31, 2000             $121,016.66 per month
June 1, 2000 - May 31, 2001             $124,042.08 per month

June 1, 2003 - May 31, 2004             $133,118.33 per month
</TABLE>

If the Term does not end on the last day of a month, the Base Rent and
Additional Rent (hereinafter defined) for that partial month shall be prorated
by multiplying the monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days of the partial month included in the
Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the full
calendar month. All Rent (hereinafter defined) shall be payable in lawful money
of the United States, by regular bank check of Subtenant, to Sublandlord at the
address stated herein or

                                       3

to such other persons or at such other places as Sublandlord may designate in
writing. Upon execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay the rent for the
first month of the term in the amount of $57,691.67.

               3.2    Operating Costs.

                      (a)    Definitions. For purposes of this Sublease and in
addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Sublease, the following terms
shall have the meanings set forth below:

                             (i)    "Additional Rent" shall mean the sums
payable pursuant to Section 3.2(b) of this Sublease.

                             (ii)   "Operating Costs" shall mean Operating
Expenses and Property Taxes (as defined in the Master Lease) charged by Landlord
to Sublandlord pursuant to the Master Lease. Sublandlord represents and warrants
that a true and correct copy of Landlord's estimate of Sublandlord's monthly
payment of Operating Costs attributable to the Master Lease Premises for 1999 is
attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.

                             (iii)  "Rent" shall mean, collectively, Base Rent,
Additional Rent, and all other sums payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under
this Sublease, whether or not expressly designated as "rent", all of which are
deemed and designated as rent pursuant to the terms of this Sublease. Subtenant
shall in no event be responsible for the payment of any Ground Rent (as defined
in the Master Lease).

                             (iv)   "Subtenant's Percentage Share" shall mean
(A) 13.7% for the month of May 1999, and (B) 28.7%) for each month during the
Term thereafter.

                      (b)    Commencing as of May 1, 1999 with respect to the
Second Floor and commencing as of June 1, 1999 with respect to the Fourth Floor,
in addition to the Base Rent payable pursuant to Section 3.1 above, Subtenant,

Within five (5) days after Sublandlord's receipt of Landlord's estimate of
Sublandlord's monthly payment of Operating Costs attributable to the Master
Lease Premises for each calendar year during the Term, Sublandlord shall give
Subtenant a copy of such estimate, together with written notice of Sublandlord's
estimate of the amount of Additional Rent per month payable pursuant to this
Section 3.2(b) for such calendar year.

                      (c)    For partial calendar years during the term of this
Sublease, the amount of Additional Rent payable pursuant to this Section that is
applicable to that partial calendar year shall be prorated based on the ratio of
the number of days of such partial calendar year falling during the term of this
Sublease to 365. The expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease shall
not affect the obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant pursuant to this Section
3.2(c), and such obligations shall survive and remain to be performed after any
expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

               3.3    Utilities. Subtenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, prior
to delinquency, all electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, telephone, cable and
any and all other utility services supplied to the Subleased Premises for which
there is separate metering; and Subtenant shall pay its equitable share, as
reasonably determined by Sublandlord, of all such utility services supplied to
such portion of the Subleased Premises for which there is not separate metering.
Subtenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install
separate meters for any such utilities, subject to the consent of Landlord; and,
thereafter, shall pay the cost of such utilities as shown on such meters.

        4.     Use and Occupancy.

               4.1    Use. The Subleased Premises shall be used and occupied
only for general office use and ancillary uses by Subtenant, Subtenant's
employees and visitors including, without limitation, data center, production
and scanning, distribution, call center (operating 24 hours a day, seven days a
week), cafeteria and software laboratories. Subtenant shall have exclusive use
of the deck on the Fourth Floor. Subject to the availability of space and
provided Subtenant pays its equitable share of the cost, Subtenant shall be
entitled to use the shuttle van described in Section 38.22 of the Master Lease
on the same basis as Sublandlord.

               4.2    Compliance with Master Lease.

                      (a)    Subtenant agrees that it will occupy the Subleased
Premises in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease and will not suffer to
be done or omit to do any act which may result in a violation of or a default
under any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, including, without
limitation, surrendering possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord no
later than the expiration or termination date of the Master Lease, or render
Sublandlord liable for any damage, charge or expense thereunder. Sublandlord and
Subtenant each covenants and agrees to indemnify the other against and hold the
other harmless from any claim, demand, action, proceeding, suit, liability,
loss, judgment, expense (including attorneys' fees) and damages of any kind or
nature whatsoever arising out of, by reason of, or resulting from, the
indemnifying party's failure to perform or observe any of the terms and
conditions of the Master Lease or this Sublease, except to the extent resulting
from the indemnified party's negligence or willful misconduct. Any other
provision in this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Subtenant shall pay
to Sublandlord as Rent hereunder any and all sums which Sublandlord may be
required to pay the Landlord arising out of a request by Subtenant for
additional Building services (other than those required under the Master Lease)
from Landlord (e.g. charges associated with after hour HVAC usage and
overstandard electrical charges).

                      (b)    Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not be
required to perform any of the covenants, agreements and/or obligations of
Landlord under Sections 11, 15, 16, 17 and 25 of the Master Lease and, insofar
as any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder are
required to be performed under Sections 11, 15, 16, 17 and 25 of the Master
Lease by Landlord, Sublandlord agrees to, and Subtenant acknowledges and agrees
that Sublandlord shall, use its reasonable efforts to cause Landlord to perform
such covenants, agreements and obligations thereunder, which, however, shall not
include exercising its remedies under Section 20.2 of the Master Lease.
Sublandlord shall not be responsible for any failure or

                                       5
<PAGE>   7

interruption, for any reason whatsoever, of the services or facilities that may
be appurtenant to or supplied at the Building by Landlord or otherwise,
including, without limitation, heat, air conditioning, ventilation, life-safety,
water, electricity, elevator service and cleaning service, if any; and no
failure to furnish, or interruption of, any such services or facilities shall
give rise to any (i) abatement, diminution or reduction of Subtenant's
obligations under this Sublease, except to the extent Sublandlord is entitled to
the abatement of rent with respect to the Subleased Premises under the Master
Lease, including without limitation under Sections 11.2, 16.1, 17.2 or 22 of the
Master Lease, or (ii) liability on the part of Sublandlord, except to the extent
caused by Sublandlord's negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Sublandlord shall promptly take such action as may reasonably be
indicated, under the circumstances, to remedy such failure or interruption upon
Subtenant's request to Sublandlord to do so and shall thereafter diligently
prosecute such performance on the part of Landlord.

        5.     Master Lease and Sublease Terms.

               5.1    Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant has reviewed and is
familiar with all of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of the
Master Lease.

               5.2    This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and
subordinate to the Master Lease.

               5.3    The terms, conditions and respective obligations of
Sublandlord and Subtenant to each other under this Sublease shall be the terms
and conditions of the Master Lease except for those provisions of the Master
Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease, in which event the terms
of this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease. Therefore, for the
purposes of this Sublease, wherever in the Master Lease the word "Landlord" is
used it shall be deemed to mean the Sublandlord herein and wherever in the
Master Lease the word "Tenant" is used it shall be deemed to mean the Subtenant
herein. The time limits contained in the master Lease for the giving of notices,
making of demands or performing of any act, condition or covenant on the part of
the tenant thereunder, or for the exercise by the tenant thereunder of any
right, remedy or option, are changed for the purposes of incorporation herein by
reference by shortening the same in each instance by three days (provided
Subtenant has at least three (3) days to perform), so that in each instance
Subtenant shall have three days less time to observe or perform hereunder than
Sublandlord has as the tenant under the Master Lease. The time limits contained
in the Master Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing
of any act, condition or covenant on the part of Landlord, or for the exercise
by Landlord of any right, remedy or option, are changed for the purposes of
incorporation herein by reference by doubling the same in each instance, so that
in each instance Sublandlord shall have twice as much time to observe or perform
hereunder than Landlord has under the Master Lease. Any non-liability, release,
indemnity or hold harmless provision in the Master Lease for the benefit of
Landlord that is incorporated herein by reference, shall be deemed to inure to
the benefit of Sublandlord, Landlord, and any other person intended to be
benefited by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in
this Sublease. Any right of Landlord under the Master Lease of access or
inspection and any right of Landlord under the Master Lease to do work in the
Master Lease Premises or in the Building and any right of Landlord under the
Master Lease in respect of rules and regulations, which is incorporated herein
by reference, shall be deemed to inure to the

                                       6
<PAGE>   8

benefit of Sublandlord, Landlord, and any other person intended to be benefited
by said provision, for the purpose of incorporation by reference in this
Sublease.

               5.4    For the purposes of incorporation herein, the terms of the
Master Lease are subject to the following additional modifications:

                      (a)    In all provisions of the Master Lease (under the
terms thereof and without regard to modifications thereof for purposes of
incorporation into this Sublease) requiring the approval or consent of Landlord,
Subtenant shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of both
Sublandlord and Landlord.

                      (b)    In all provisions of the Master Lease requiring
Tenant to submit, exhibit, supply or provide to Landlord evidence, certificates,
or any other matter or thing, Subtenant shall be required to submit, exhibit,
supply or provide to, as the case may be, the same to both Landlord and
Sublandlord.

                      (c)    Sublandlord shall have no obligation to restore or
rebuild any portion of the Subleased Premises after any destruction or taking by
eminent domain.

                      (d)    In all provisions of the Master Lease requiring
Tenant to designate Landlord as an additional or named insured on its insurance
policy, Subtenant shall be required to so designate Landlord and Sublandlord on
its insurance policy.

               5.5    Notwithstanding the terms of Section 5.3 above, Subtenant
shall have no rights nor obligations under the following parts, Sections and
Exhibits of the Master Lease: Sections 1.2 through 1.6, 1.8, 4 through 7, 9.4.2,
10.8, 11.3, 12, 15.3, 20.2, 21, 27, 28, 36, 37, 38.11, 38.19, 38.22, 40, 41 and
42, and Exhibits B, G and I.

               5.6    During the Term and for all periods subsequent thereto
with respect to obligations which have arisen prior to the termination of this
Sublease, Subtenant agrees to perform and comply with, for the benefit of
Sublandlord and Landlord, the obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease
which pertain to the Subleased Premises and/or this Sublease, except for those
provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease,
in which event the terms of this Sublease shall control over the Master Lease.

        6.     Sublandlord's Representations and Warranties Regarding Master
Lease. Sublandlord hereby represents and warrants to Subtenant as follows:

                      (a)    Master Landlord has delivered possession of the
Master Lease Premises to Sublandlord under the Master Lease;

                      (b)    Sublandlord has fulfilled all of its duties under
the Master Lease and is not in default under the Master Lease;

                      (c)    The Master Lease is in full force and effect and
has not been modified, altered or amended;

                                       7
<PAGE>   9

                      (d)    Sublandlord shall not amend the Master Lease in any
way that would materially affect the Subleased Premises or Subtenant's rights or
obligations under this Sublease without Subtenant's prior written consent;

                      (e)    To the best of Sublandlord's knowledge, Landlord
has fulfilled all of its duties under the Master Lease and is not in default
under the Master Lease;

                      (f)    There is no deed of trust, mortgage or ground lease
entered into by Sublandlord encumbering Sublandlord's leasehold interest and not
the Building.

        7.     Termination of Master Lease. If the term of the Master Lease
shall terminate prior to the scheduled Expiration Date because of the breach or
default of Sublandlord beyond any applicable notice and cure period under the
Master Lease, Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subtenant
from and against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,
which Subtenant may incur or pay out by reason of such termination.

        8.     Insurance and Indemnities.

               8.1    Subtenant's Insurance. Subtenant agrees to procure and
maintain throughout the Term, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense,
comprehensive public liability and property damage insurance with minimum
liability limits of $3,000,000 per occurrence, aggregate bodily injury and
property damage; or $3,000,000 combined single limit. Such policy shall name
Landlord and Sublandlord as additional insureds, shall contain cross-liability
endorsements, and shall provide that it is primary and noncontributing with any
insurance in force or on behalf of Landlord or Sublandlord. Subtenant shall
provide Landlord and Sublandlord with certificates of such insurance. The
liability insurance policy shall be issued by a firm satisfactory to Landlord
and Sublandlord and shall contain endorsements requiring thirty (30) days notice
to Landlord and Sublandlord prior to any cancellation or any reduction in amount
of the coverage.

               8.2    Subtenant's Indemnity. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against all losses, costs, damages,
expenses and liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements, which Sublandlord may incur or pay out (including,

hereunder on Subtenant's part, (iii) the successful enforcement of Sublandlord's

any other person in the Subleased Premises, except to the extent caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord. Any property of Subtenant kept

persons or property occurring in, on or about any portion of the Master Lease
Premises that Sublandlord actually occupies (unless the same shall have been
caused by Subtenant's negligence or wrongful act), (ii) any breach or default
hereunder on Sublandlord's part, (iii) the successful enforcement of Subtenant's

        9.     Consents.

               9.1    Under the Master Lease, Sublandlord must obtain the
consent of Landlord to any subletting. This Sublease shall not be effective
unless, within fourteen (14) days after the execution of this Sublease by
Subtenant and Sublandlord, Landlord signs and delivers to Sublandlord and
Subtenant a consent to this Sublease reasonably acceptable to Subtenant.

               9.2    In the event that Sublandlord defaults under its
obligations to be performed under the Master Lease, Sublandlord agrees to
deliver to Subtenant a copy of any such notice of default within three (3) days
of its receipt thereof. Subtenant shall have the right to cure any default of
Sublandlord described in any notice of default within the cure periods set forth
in the Master Lease. If such default is cured by Subtenant then Sublandlord
shall reimburse Subtenant for such amounts within ten (10) days after notice and
demand therefor from Subtenant to Sublandlord, together with interest at the
interest rate specified in the Master Lease.

               9.3    In any instance when Sublandlord's consent or approval is
required under this Sublease, Sublandlord's refusal to consent to or approve any
matter shall be deemed reasonable if, among other matters, such consent or
approval is required under the provisions of the Master Lease incorporated
herein by reference but has been refused by Landlord. Except as otherwise
provided herein, Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its
consent to or approval of a matter if such consent or approval is required under
the provisions of the Master Lease and Landlord has consented to or approved of
such matter.

        10.    Attorneys' Fees. If Sublandlord, Subtenant or Landlord brings an
action to enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights hereunder, the
prevailing party who recovers substantially all of the damages, equitable relief
or other remedy sought in any such action on trial and appeal shall be entitled
to its reasonable attorneys' fees to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the
Court.

        11.    Sublandlord's Work.

               11.1   Generally. Sublandlord shall deliver, and Subtenant shall
accept, possession of the Subleased Premises vacant, broom-clean and in their
"AS IS" condition as the Subleased Premises exists on the date hereof, for
purposes of Subtenant's general contractor constructing Subtenant's
improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall perform the
following work (the "Sublandlord's Work") at its sole cost prior to delivery of
the Subleased Premises to Subtenant:

                      (a)    Sublandlord will supply the software to operate the
existing card key system. It will be Subtenant's responsibility to maintain the
system throughout the term of this Sublease;

                      (b)    Sublandlord will supply Subtenant with fifty (50)
access cards;

                      (c)    Sublandlord will also be responsible for the
initial cutting and retermination of all the existing network and data cabling
and telecommunications lines to an easily accessible location to be mutually
agreed upon by Sublandlord and Subtenant;

                      (d)    Upon the expiration of the term of this Sublease,
Sublandlord shall be responsible for reconnecting the network cabling and
telecommunication lines for Sublandlord's use;

                      (e)    All internal Sublandlord signage will be removed
prior to Subtenant's occupancy except for the names associated with the
conference rooms. Subtenant shall not place its signage on doors or woodwork
except in the previous locations of Sublandlord's signage;

                      (f)    The Subleased Premises shall be provided to
Subtenant in a reasonably clean condition upon Sublandlord's initial vacating (a
regular nightly janitorial service shall be provided between moves);

                      (g)    Sublandlord shall repair any areas or surfaces
within the Subleased Premises which are damaged prior to and/or during
Sublandlord's vacating the Subleased Premises (for example, holes left in wall
due to the removal of shelving). A walk-through with Subtenant and Sublandlord
shall take place prior to occupancy to prepare a punchlist identifying areas, if
any, to be repaired by Sublandlord (the "Punchlist");and

                      (h)    Sublandlord shall leave for Subtenant's use at no
charge the existing reception desk located on the Fourth Floor and all built-in
appliances (including, without limitation, microwave ovens, refrigerators and
dishwashers) in the Subleased Premises.

                                       10
<PAGE>   12

In the event Sublandlord fails to complete and furnish the Punchlist items
within fifteen (15) days after Subtenant takes possession of the Subleased
Premises, Subtenant may complete and furnish the Punchlist items and Sublandlord
shall reimburse Subtenant within ten (10) days after written demand for the
costs incurred by Subtenant for such work. If Sublandlord fails to reimburse
Subtenant within ten (10) days after written demand, such costs shall be
deducted from Subtenant's next installments of Rent payable hereunder as an
offset against such amounts owing from Subtenant. Sublandlord shall provide
Subtenant with CAD discs containing the as-built plans for the Subleased
Premises and a complete list of the current tenant improvement finishes. Except
as set forth in this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to furnish,
render or supply any work, labor, services, materials, furniture, fixtures,
equipment, decorations or other items to make the Subleased Premises ready or
suitable for Subtenant's occupancy. In making and executing this Sublease,
Subtenant has relied solely on such investigations, examinations and inspections
as Subtenant has chosen to make or has made and has not relied on any
representation or warranty concerning the Subleased Premises or the Building,
except as expressly set forth in this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that
Sublandlord has afforded Subtenant the opportunity for full and complete
investigations, examinations and inspections of the Subleased Premises and the
common areas of the Building. Subtenant acknowledges that it is not authorized
to make or do any alterations or improvements in or to the Subleased Premises
except as permitted by the provisions of this Sublease and the Master Lease and
that upon termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deliver the Subleased
Premises to Sublandlord in the same condition as the Subleased Premises were at
the commencement of the Term hereof, reasonable wear and tear, damage from
casualty or condemnation, and any alterations or improvements consented to by
Sublandlord excepted.

               11.2   Code-Required Work. If the performance of Subtenant's
improvements within the Subleased Premises "triggers" a requirement for
code-related upgrades to or improvements of the Leased Premises or any common
areas, Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that Subtenant shall be responsible for
the additional cost of such code-required upgrade or improvements.

        12.    Assignment and Subletting.

               12.1   Consent. After obtaining the prior written consent of
Sublandlord and Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Subtenant
may assign or sublet this Sublease or any part thereof. Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord fifty percent (50%) of all amounts received from the assignee or
subtenant in excess of the amounts otherwise payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord
with respect to the portion of the Subleased Premises, provided that Subtenant
shall be entitled to first deduct therefrom Subtenant's costs in effecting such
assignment or sublease. If Subtenant requests consent to a sublease of more than
fifty percent (50%) of the floor area of the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord may
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Subtenant's request notify Subtenant
in writing that Sublandlord elects to recapture the portion of the Subleased
Premises involved , in which event this Sublease shall terminate with respect to
such portion of the Subleased Premises and Subtenant's Base Rent and Percentage
Share shall be proportionately reduced; provided, however, that for a period of
fifteen (15) days after Sublandlord's recapture notice to Subtenant, Subtenant
shall have the right to rescind its request to sublease, in which event this
Sublease shall continue in full force and effect.

                                       11
<PAGE>   13

               12.2   Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublandlord consents to an assignment of
this Sublease, or a subletting of all or part of the Subleased Premises to (i)
the parent of Subtenant or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Subtenant or of such
parent, (ii) any entity into which or with which Subtenant may be merged or
consolidated, provided that the net worth of the resulting entity is at least
equal to the greater of (A) the net worth of Subtenant on the date hereof, or
(B) the net worth of Subtenant immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation, or (iii) any entity to which Subtenant sells all or substantially
all of its assets, provided that such entity expressly assumes all of
Subtenant's obligations hereunder. Transfer of all or any portion of the
ownership of stock in Subtenant shall not be deemed an assignment of this
Sublease if Subtenant's stock is traded through an exchange or over the counter.

        13.    Signage. Subtenant shall have the right to place signage in the
main lobby of the Building, on each floor of the Subleased Premises and on the
Building monument sign, subject to the consent of Master Landlord. Subject to
the approval of Master Landlord and all governmental approvals, Subtenant shall
have the right to place a sign on the upper exterior of the Building, which sign
must be removed by Subtenant at the expiration of this Sublease and all damage
repaired.

        14.    Parking. During the Term hereof Subtenant and its employees shall
be permitted to use 167 parking spaces at the current fair market rate charged
by Sublandlord (which currently is $80 per space per month). Any increases in
the fair market rate charged by Sublandlord shall be accompanied by evidence
showing that the increase is based upon an objective determination by
Sublandlord that the increase is justified based upon all factors relevant to
setting market prices for parking in the area in which the Building is located.
In addition, Subtenant shall have the right to lease up to an additional 70
spaces on a month to month basis at the same current fair market rate charged by
Sublandlord provided Sublandlord is not itself using such spaces in connection
with the operation of its business in the Master Lease Premises.

        15.    Security Deposit.

               15.1   Concurrently with execution of this Sublease by Subtenant,
Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance
of all of its obligations under this Sublease a security deposit in the amount
of $121,016.66 (the "Security Deposit"). At Subtenant's sole election, Subtenant
shall provide the Security Deposit in the form of either a regular bank check of
Subtenant or an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit ("Letter
of Credit") in the amount of $121,016.66 for the benefit of Sublandlord and any
successor in interest of Sublandlord, issued by a financial institution
reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord.

               15.2   In the event Subtenant elects to provide the Letter of
Credit, all costs incurred in obtaining the Letter of Credit shall be borne by
Subtenant. Sublandlord shall be entitled to draw upon the full amount of the
Letter of Credit if an event of default (after notice and the passage of any
applicable cure period) shall occur under this Sublease. If the full amount of
the Letter of Credit is not required for the payment of any sum to which
Sublandlord may become obligated by such default, or to compensate Sublandlord
for any loss or damage which

                                       12
<PAGE>   14

Sublandlord may suffer as a consequence of such default by Subtenant, the
balance of the proceeds drawn under the Letter of Credit shall be held by
Sublandlord (together with any sums required to restore the amount held by
Sublandlord to the amount of the Letter of Credit) and shall be treated in the
manner described in Section 15.3. Subtenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit
in effect in accordance with the terms of this Section until thirty (30) days
after the later of (i) the expiration of the term of this Sublease, or (ii)
vacation of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant. If the stated term of the
Letter of Credit would expire prior to such time as Subtenant is no longer
required to maintain the Letter of Credit in effect under this Sublease, prior
to its stated expiration Subtenant shall renew the Letter of Credit for a period
of not less than one year or shall deliver to Sublandlord a new Letter of Credit
in accordance with the terms hereof. If Subtenant fails either to give
Sublandlord satisfactory evidence confirming such renewal of the Letter of
Credit or to deliver a new Letter of Credit to Sublandlord at least twenty (20)
days prior to the stated expiration of the Letter of Credit in effect,
Sublandlord shall be entitled to draw down the full amount of the Letter of
Credit prior to the expiration thereof, and the amount so drawn shall be treated
in the manner described in Section 15.3.

               15.3   The Security Deposit shall be held by Sublandlord as
security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all of the provisions of
this Sublease to be performed or observed by Subtenant. If Subtenant fails to
pay rent or other charges due under this Sublease (after notice and the passage
of any applicable cure period), or otherwise defaults (after notice and the
passage of any applicable cure period) with respect to any provision of this
Sublease, Sublandlord may at its sole option apply or retain all or any portion
of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or other charges so in
default or the payment of any other sum to which Sublandlord may become entitled
by such default, or to compensate Sublandlord for any loss or damage which
Sublandlord may suffer thereby. If Sublandlord so uses or applies all or any
portion of the Security Deposit, then within ten (10) business days after demand
therefor Subtenant shall deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient
to restore the amount thereof, and Subtenant's failure to do so shall be a
material breach of this Sublease. Sublandlord's application or retention of the
Security Deposit shall not constitute a waiver of such default to the extent
that the Security Deposit does not fully compensate Sublandlord for all losses
or damages incurred by Sublandlord in connection with such default and shall not
prejudice any other rights or remedies available to Sublandlord under this
Sublease or by law. Sublandlord shall not be required to keep the Security
Deposit separate from its general accounts. The Security Deposit shall not
accrue interest. If Subtenant performs all of Subtenant's obligations under this
Sublease, the Security Deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been
applied by Sublandlord, shall be returned to Subtenant (or, at Sublandlord's
option, to the last assignee, if any, of Subtenant's interest under this
Sublease) within thirty (30) days after the later of (i) expiration of the term
of this Sublease, or (ii) vacation of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant. No
trust relationship is created herein between Sublandlord and Subtenant with
respect to the Security Deposit.

        16.    Release of Rights. Sublandlord hereby agrees that during the
initial term of the Master Lease it shall not exercise any of its rights in the
Master Lease to expand into the approximately 6,000 square feet on the third
floor of the Building depicted on EXHIBIT E attached hereto.

        18.    Use of Roof. Subtenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use
the roof of the Building at no charge to place and maintain a satellite dish or
antenna. Such use of the roof shall be subject to receipt of all required
governmental approvals, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense. The placement of
any such antennas or satellite dishes on the roof shall be subject to Landlord's
reasonable prior approval. Subtenant shall be responsible for any and all
damage, leakage or extraordinary wear and tear to the roof occurring as a result
of such use of the roof. Subtenant shall be responsible for removing any such
equipment at the expiration of this Sublease and restoring the roof to its prior
condition.

agreements, arrangements or understandings, oral or written, between the parties

circumstances shall not be affected but rather shall be enforced to the extent
permitted by law. The table of contents, captions, headings and titles, if any,
in this Sublease are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect
its interpretation. This Sublease shall be construed without regard to any
presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this
Sublease or any part thereof to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this
Sublease shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not
any other words or phrases have been added, this Sublease shall be construed as
if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never
included in this Sublease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from
the fact that said words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise
eliminated. Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this
Sublease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of
the party bound by, undertaking or making same, not dependent on any other

are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as

tenant's interest in the Master Lease, and thereupon the Tenant shall be
discharged from any further liability with respect thereto.

20. IMPROVEMENTS. No alteration or improvements shall be made to the Subleased
Premises except in accordance with this Sublease and the Master Lease, and with
the prior written consent of both Landlord and Tenant, with the Landlord and
Tenants consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall be responsible for removing any
improvements installed in the Subleased Premises by Subtenant, and restoring the
Subleased Premises to its condition as of the Commencement Date, unless Landlord
notifies Subtenant in writing that such improvements may remain. This includes
replacing any carpet that is removed by the Subtenant during the term of this
Sublease. At the time Subtenant requests Landlord and Tenants approval to any
proposed alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises, Subtenant may
also request in writing that Tenant and Landlord confirm whether or not Tenant
and Landlord will require the proposed alternations, additions or improvements
to be removed from the Premises pursuant to the proceeding sentence.

21. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Tenant and Subtenant hereby release each
other from any injury to persons, damage to property, or loss of any kind which
is caused by or results from any risk insured against under any valid and
collectable insurance policy carried by either party, which contains a waiver of
subrogation by the insurer; provided, however, that such liability shall be
released only to the extent that the damages are covered by such insurance, and
only if the insurance permits such partial release. This release shall be in
effect only so long as the applicable insurance policy contains a clause to the
effect that this release shall not affect the right of the insured to recover
under such policy. Each party shall use its best efforts to cause each insurance
policy obtained by it to provide that the insurer waives all right of recovery
against the other party and its agents and employees in connection with any
damage or injury covered by such policy, and each party shall notify the other
party if it is unable to obtain such a waiver of subrogation. Tenant shall not
be liable to Subtenant, nor shall Subtenant be entitled to terminate this
Sublease or to abate Rent for any reason, including without limitation: (i)
Failure or interruption of any utility system or service; or (ii) failure of
Landlord to maintain the Subleased Premises as may be required under the Mater
Lease. If Tenant and Subtenant are corporations or other forms of business
entity, then obligations of Tenant and Subtenant shall not constitute the
personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint
ventures, members, owners, stockholders or other principals or representatives
of such business entity.

22. DEFAULT. Subtenant's performance of each of its obligations under this
Sublease constitutes a condition as well as a covenant, and Subtenant's right to
continue in possession of the Subleased Premises is conditioned upon such
performance. In addition, Subtenant shall be in material default of its
obligations under this Sublease if Subtenant is responsible for the occurrence
of any of the events of default set forth in Section 25.1 of the Master Lease.

                                       11

23. REMEDIES. In the event of any default by Subtenant under this Sublease
(including, without limitation, a default pursuant to Section 25.1 of the
Master Lease), Tenant shall have all remedies provided by applicable law,
including, without limitation, all rights pursuant to Section 25.2 of the Master
Lease. Tenant may resort to its remedies cumulatively or in the alternative.

24. SURRENDER. On or before the Sublease Termination Date, Subtenant shall
remove all of its trade fixtures and shall surrender the Subleased Premises to
Tenant in the condition received, free of Hazardous Substances, reasonable wear
and tear excepted. If the Subleased Premises are not so surrendered, then
Subtenant shall be liable to Tenant for all costs incurred by Tenant in
returning the Subleased Premises to the required condition, plus interest
thereon at the Interest Rate. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and
hold harmless Tenant against any and all claims, liabilities, judgments, causes
of action, damages, costs, and expenses (including attorneys' and experts' fees)
resulting from Subtenant's delay in surrendering the Subleased Premises. IF
SUBTENANT IS NOT IN DEFAULT AT THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS SUBLEASE,
TENANT SHALL PROMPTLY RETURN THE SECURITY DEPOSIT TO SUBTENANT WITHIN THIRTY
(30) DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS SUBLEASE.

25. SEVERABILITY. If any term of this Sublease is held to be invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of
this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent
possible under the law, and shall not be affected or impaired.

26. AMENDMENT. This Sublease may not be amended except by the written agreement
of all parties hereto.

27. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If either Tenant or Subtenant shall bring any action or
legal proceeding to enforce, protect or establish any term or covenant of this
Sublease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs and experts' fees as may be fixed by the court.
"Prevailing party" as used in this Sublease includes a party who dismisses an
action for recovery hereunder in exchange for sums allegedly due, performance
of covenants allegedly breached or consideration SUBSTANTIALLY equal to the
relief sought in the action.

28. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: THE COMMENTS AND AGREEMENTS HEREIN SHALL BIND AND
INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF TENANT, SUBTENANT AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

29. GOVERNING LAW: THIS SUBLEASE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE

31. COUNTERPART EXECUTION: THIS SUBLEASE MAY BE EXECUTED BY TENANT AND
SUBTENANT WITH ONE OR MORE COUNTERPARTS, AND ALL SUCH COUNTERPARTS SHALL
