ARTICLE 13A.  MINIMUM REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS ON OR AFTER APRIL 17, 2002.

SECTION 1.  GENERAL RULES

        1.1.    EFFECTIVE DATE. The provisions of this Article 13A will apply
for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years
beginning with the 2003 calendar year, as well as required minimum distributions
for the 2002 distribution calendar year that are made on or after April 17,
2002.

        1.2.    COORDINATION WITH MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS PREVIOUSLY
IN EFFECT. The provisions of this article shall apply to required minimum
distributions that are made on or after April 17, 2002; therefore, required
minimum distributions for 2002 under this article will be determined as follows.
If the total amount of 2002 required minimum distributions under the Plan made
to the distributee prior to the effective date of this article equals or exceeds
the required minimum distributions determined under this article, then no
additional distributions will be required to be made for 2002 on or after such
date to the distributee. If the total amount of 2002 required minimum
distributions under the Plan made to the distributee prior to the effective date
of this article is less than the amount determined under this article, then
required minimum distributions for 2002 on and after such date will be
determined so that the total amount of required minimum distributions for 2002
made to the distributee will be the amount determined under this article.

        1.3.    PRECEDENCE. The requirements of this article will take
precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

        1.4.    REQUIREMENTS OF TREASURY REGULATIONS INCORPORATED. All
distributions required under this article will be determined and made in
accordance with the Treasury regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the Internal

SECTION 2. TIME AND MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION.

        2.1.    REQUIRED BEGINNING DATE. The participant's entire interest will

        2.2.    DEATH OF PARTICIPANT BEFORE DISTRIBUTIONS BEGIN. If the
participant dies before distributions begin, the participant's entire interest
will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:

                (a)     If the participant's surviving spouse is the
                        participant's sole designated beneficiary, then, except
                        as provided in Section 6 below, distributions to the
                        surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the
                        calendar year immediately following the calendar year in
                        which the participant died, or by December 31 of the
                        calendar year in which the participant would have
                        attained age 70 1/2, if later.

                (b)     If the participant's surviving spouse is not the
                        participant's sole designated beneficiary, then, except
                        as provided in Section 6 below, distributions to the
                        designed beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the
                        calendar year immediately following the calendar year in
                        which the participant died.

                (c)     If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30
                        of the year following the year of the participant's
                        death, the participant's entire interest will be
                        distributed by December 31 of the calendar year
                        containing the fifth anniversary of the participant's
                        death.

                (d)     If the participant's surviving spouse is the
                        participant's sole designated beneficiary and the
                        surviving spouse dies after the participant but before
                        distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this
                        section 2.2, other than section 2.2(a), will apply as if
                        the surviving spouse were the participant.

                        For purposes of this section 2.2 and section 4, unless
                        section 2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to
                        begin on the participant's required beginning date. If
                        section 2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to
                        begin on the date distributions are required to begin to
                        the surviving spouse under section 2.2(a). If
                        distributions under an annuity purchased from an
                        insurance company irrevocable commence to the
                        participant before the participant's required beginning
                        date (or to the participant's surviving spouse before
                        the date distributions are required to begin to the
                        surviving spouse under section 2.2(a)), the date
                        distributions are considered to begin is the date
                        distributions actually commence.

        2.3.    FORMS OF DISTRIBUTION. Unless the participant's interest is
distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in
a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first
distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with
sections 3 and 4 of this article. If the participant's interest is distributed
in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions
thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of section 401(a)(9)

SECTION 3.  REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS DURING PARTICIPANT'S LIFETIME.

        3.1.    AMOUNT OF REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION FOR EACH DISTRIBUTION
CALENDAR YEAR. During the participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will
be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of:

                (a)     the quotient obtained by dividing the participant's
                        account balance by the distribution period in the
                        Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in section
                        1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the
                        participant's age as of the participant's birthday in
                        the distribution calendar year; or

                (b)     if the participant's sole designated beneficiary for the
                        distribution calendar year is the participant's spouse,
                        the quotient obtained by dividing the participant's
                        account balance by the number in the Joint and Last
                        Survivor Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the
                        Treasury regulations, using the participant's and
                        spouse's attained ages as of the participant's and
                        spouse's birthdays in the distribution calendar year.

        3.2.    LIFETIME REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS CONTINUE THROUGH YEAR OF
PARTICIPANT'S DEATH. Required minimum distributions will be determined under
this section 3 beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and
including the distribution calendar year that includes the participant's date of
death.

SECTION 4.  REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER PARTICIPANT'S DEATH.

        4.1.    DEATH ON OR AFTER DATE DISTRIBUTIONS BEGIN.

                (A)     PARTICIPANT SURVIVED BY DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY. If the
                        participant dies on or after the date distributions
                        begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum
                        amount that will be distributed for each distribution
                        calendar year after the year of the participant's death
                        is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant's
                        account balance by the longer of the remaining life
                        expectancy of the participant or the remaining life
                        expectancy of the participant's designated beneficiary,
                        determined as follows:

                        (1)     The participant's remaining life expectancy is
                                calculated using the age of the participant in
                                the year of death, reduced by one for each
                                subsequent year.

                        (2)     If the participant's surviving spouse is the
                                participant's sole designated beneficiary, the
                                remaining life expectancy of the surviving
                                spouse is calculated for each distribution
                                calendar year after the year of the
                                participant's death using the surviving spouse's
                                age as of the spouse's birthday in that year.
                                For distribution calendar years after the year
                                of the surviving spouse's death, the remaining
                                life expectancy of the surviving spouse is
                                calculated using the age of the surviving spouse
                                as of the spouse's birthday in the calendar year
                                of the spouse's death, reduced by one for each
                                subsequent calendar year.

                        (3)     If the participant's surviving spouse is not the
                                participant's sole designated beneficiary, the
                                designated beneficiary's remaining life
                                expectancy is

                                        4
<PAGE>

                                calculated using the age of the beneficiary in
                                the year following the year of the participant's
                                death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

                (B)     NO DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY. If the participant dies on or
                        after the date distributions begin and there is no
                        designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
                        after the year of the participant's death, the minimum
                        amount that will be distributed for each distribution
                        calendar year after the year of the participant's death
                        is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant's
                        account balance by the participant's remaining life
                        expectancy calculated using the age of the participant
                        in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent
                        year.

        4.2.    DEATH BEFORE DATE DISTRIBUTIONS BEGIN.

                (A)     PARTICIPANT SURVIVED BY DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY. Except
                        as provided in Section 6 below, if the participant dies
                        before the date distributions begin and there is a
                        designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be
                        distributed for each distribution calendar year after
                        the year of the participant's death is the quotient
                        obtained by dividing the participant's account balance
                        by the remaining life expectancy of the participant's
                        designated beneficiary, determined as provided in
                        section 4.1.

                (B)     NO DESIGNATED BENEFICIARY. If the participant dies
                        before the date distributions begin and there is no
                        designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
                        following the year of the participant's death,
                        distribution of the participant's entire interest will
                        be completed by December 31 of the calendar year
                        containing the fifth anniversary of the participant's
                        death

                (C)     DEATH OF SURVIVING SPOUSE BEFORE DISTRIBUTIONS TO
                        SURVIVING SPOUSE ARE REQUIRED TO BEGIN. If the
                        participant dies before the date distributions begin,
                        the participant's surviving spouse is the participant's
                        sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse
                        dies before distributions are required to begin to the
                        surviving spouse under section 2.2(a), this section 4.2
                        will apply as if the surviving spouse were the
                        participant.

SECTION 6.  ELECTIONS REGARDING 5-YEAR RULE.

        6.1.    ELECTION TO APPLY 5-YEAR RULE TO DISTRIBUTIONS TO DESIGNATED
BENEFICIARIES. If the participant dies before distributions begin and there is a
designated beneficiary, distribution to the designated beneficiary is not
required to begin by the date specified in section 2.2 above, if the
participant's entire interest is distributed to the designated beneficiary by
December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the
participant's death. If the participant's surviving spouse is the participant's
sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the participant
but before distributions to either the participant or the surviving spouse
begin, this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant.

        6.2.    ELECTION TO ALLOW PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIARIES TO ELECT 5-YEAR
RULE. Participants or beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the
5-year rule or the life expectancy rule in sections 2.2 and 4.2 above applies to

2.      RENT.

        A.      DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Lease, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:

                (i)     "BASE YEAR" shall mean the year set forth in Item 2 of
        the Schedule. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant will not be
        occupying the Building for the entire Base Year and, accordingly,
        certain Expenses will not be incurred for the entire Base Year.
        Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree to make an appropriate adjustment
        of Expenses for the Base Year which vary with the period and level of
        occupancy to reflect a fully occupied Building for the entire Base Year.

                (ii)    "EXPENSES" shall mean all expenses, costs and
        disbursements (other than Taxes) paid or incurred by Landlord in
        connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, operation,
        replacement and repair of the Building, including exterior common areas.
        Expenses shall not include: (a) costs of tenant alterations; (b) costs
        of capital improvements (except for costs of any capital improvements
        (1) made or installed (or service agreement or lease entered into) for
        the purpose of reducing Expenses or improving the operating efficiency
        of any system within the Building (provided, however, that such costs
        shall not exceed the reduction in expenses attributable to such capital
        improvements, service agreement or lease) or (2) made or installed
        pursuant to governmental requirement or insurance requirement, which
        costs shall be amortized by Landlord in accordance with sound accounting
        and management principles); (c) interest and principal payments on
        mortgages (except interest on the cost of any capital improvements for
        which amortization may be included in the definition of Expenses) or any
        rental payments on any ground leases (except for rental payments which
        constitute reimbursement for Taxes and Expenses); (d) advertising
        expenses and leasing commissions; (e) any cost or expenditure for which
        Landlord is reimbursed, whether by insurance proceeds or otherwise,
        except through Adjustment Rent (hereinafter defined); (f) legal expenses
        of negotiating leases; (g) salaries and fringe benefits of employees
        above the grade of building manager; or (h) depreciation expenses on any
        fixed assets. Expenses shall be determined on a cash or accrual basis,
        as Landlord may elect, based on generally accepted accounting
        principles, consistently applied.

                (iii)   "RENT" shall mean Base Rent, Adjustment Rent and any
        other sums or charges due by Tenant hereunder.

                (iv)    "TAXES" shall mean all taxes, assessments and fees
        levied upon the Building, the property of Landlord located therein or
        the rents collected therefrom, by any governmental entity based upon the
        ownership, leasing, renting or operation of the Building, including all
        costs and expenses of protesting any such taxes, assessments or fees.
        Taxes shall not include any net income, capital stock, succession,
        transfer, franchise, gift, estate or inheritance taxes; provided,

                                        3
<PAGE>

        however, if at any time during the Term, a tax or excise on income is
        levied or assessed by any governmental entity, in lieu of or as a
        substitute for, in whole or in part, real estate taxes or other AD
        VALOREM taxes, such tax shall constitute and be included in Taxes.

                (v)     "PRIME RATE" shall mean the highest of the Prime Rates
        as reported in the Money Rate Section of the WALL STREET JOURNAL. If the
        WALL STREET JOURNAL no longer publishes the Prime Rate as an index,
        Landlord may substitute a comparable index including the Prime Rate or
        reference rate of a reputable financial institution.

        B.      COMPONENTS OF RENT. Tenant agrees to pay the following amounts
to Landlord at the office of the Building or at such other place as Landlord
designates:

                (i)     Base rent ("BASE RENT") to be paid in monthly
        installments in the amount set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule in
        advance on or before the first day of each month of the Term, without
        demand, except that Tenant shall pay the first month's Base Rent upon
        execution of this Lease.

                Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, so long
        as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled
        to an abatement of Base Rent in the amount of $132,774.69 per month for
        the first seven (7) full calendar months of the Term and $17,670.52 per
        month for the next five (5) full calendar months of the Term. The total
        amount of Base Rent abated in accordance with the foregoing shall equal
        $1,017,775.43 (the "ABATED BASE RENT"). If Tenant defaults at any time
        during the Term and fails to cure such default within any applicable
        cure period under this Lease and, if as a result of such uncured
        default, Landlord elects to terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant's
        right to possession of the Building as more fully provided under Section
        16.B. below, then all Abated Base Rent shall immediately become due and
        payable. The payment by Tenant of the Abated Base Rent in the event of a
        default shall not limit or affect any of Landlord's other rights,
        pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity. Only Base Rent shall be
        abated pursuant to this Section, and all Adjustment Rent and other costs
        and charges specified in this Lease shall remain as due and payable
        pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

                (ii)    Adjustment rent ("ADJUSTMENT RENT") in an amount equal
        to (a) Expenses for any calendar year which exceed Expenses for the Base
        Year set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule and (b) Taxes for any calendar
        year which exceed Taxes for the Base Year set forth in Item 5 of the
        Schedule. Prior to each calendar year, or as soon as reasonably
        possible, Landlord shall estimate and notify Tenant of the amount of
        Adjustment Rent due for such year, and Tenant shall pay Landlord
        one-twelfth of such estimate on the first day of each month during such
        year. Such estimate may be revised by Landlord whenever it obtains
        information relevant to making such estimate more accurate. After the
        end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a report
        setting forth the

                                        4
<PAGE>

        actual Expenses and Taxes for such calendar year and a statement of the
        amount of Adjustment Rent that Tenant has paid and is payable for such
        year. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such report or reports,
        Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Adjustment Rent due for such
        calendar year minus any payments of Adjustment Rent made by Tenant for
        such year, it being acknowledged by Tenant that in the event Landlord
        separately reports actual Expenses and actual Taxes for a calendar year,
        Landlord may reasonably allocate Adjustment Rent paid by Tenant for such
        calendar year between Expenses and Taxes for such calendar year. If
        Tenant's estimated payments of Adjustment Rent exceed the amount due
        Landlord for such calendar year, Landlord shall apply such excess as a
        credit against Tenant's other obligations under this Lease or promptly
        refund such excess to Tenant if the Term has already expired, provided
        Tenant is not then in default hereunder, in either case without interest
        to Tenant.

                Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of computing
        Adjustment Rent, Controllable Expenses (as hereinafter defined) shall
        not increase by more than 5% per calendar year on a cumulative,
        compounding basis over the Term. In other words, Controllable Expenses
        for the calendar year 2005 shall not exceed 105% of the Controllable
        Expenses for the calendar year 2004. Controllable Expenses for the
        calendar year 2006 shall not exceed 105% of the limit on Controllable
        Expenses for the calendar year 2005. "CONTROLLABLE EXPENSES" shall mean
        all Expenses exclusive of the cost of insurance and utilities. Landlord
        and Tenant agree that Controllable Expenses for the calendar year 2004
        shall be deemed to be two times Controllable Expenses paid or incurred
        by Landlord during the period commencing July 1, 2004, and ending
        December 31, 2004.

        C.      PAYMENT OF RENT. The following provisions shall govern the
payment of Rent: (i) if this Lease commences or ends on a day other than the
first day or last day of a calendar year, respectively, the Rent for the year in
which this Lease so begins or ends shall be prorated and the monthly
installments shall be adjusted accordingly; (ii) all Rent shall be paid to
Landlord without offset or deduction, and the covenant to pay Rent shall be
independent of every other covenant in this Lease; (iii) any sum due from Tenant
to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due
until the date paid at the annual rate of five percentage (5%) points above the
Prime Rate then in effect, but in no event higher than the maximum rate
permitted by law (the "DEFAULT RATE"); and, in addition, Tenant shall pay
Landlord a late charge for any Rent payment which is paid more than five (5)
days after its due date equal to five percent (5%) of such payment; provided,
however, that Landlord shall not charge Tenant such Default Rate or late charge
if Tenant cures such failure to pay any sum due within five (5) days after
written notice from Landlord of such delinquency; provided further, however,
that Landlord shall only be obligated to provide, and Tenant shall only have
such cure period, two (2) times during any twelve (12) consecutive calendar
month period; (iv) Tenant, or an independent certified accounting firm retained
by Tenant on an hourly fee basis (and not on a contingency fee basis), shall
have the right to inspect Landlord's accounting records relative to Expenses and
Taxes (including Expenses and Taxes for the Base Year) during normal business
hours at any time within sixty (60) days following the furnishing

                                        5
<PAGE>

to Tenant of the annual statement of Adjustment Rent; and, unless Tenant shall
take written exception to any item in any such statement within such sixty (60)
day period, such statement shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant;
(v) in the event of the termination of this Lease prior to the determination of
any Adjustment Rent, Tenant's agreement to pay any such sums and Landlord's
obligation to refund any such sums (provided Tenant is not in default hereunder)
shall survive the termination of this Lease; (vi) no adjustment to the Rent by
virtue of the operation of the rent adjustment provisions in this Lease shall
result in the payment by Tenant in any year of less than the Base Rent shown on
the Schedule; (vii) each amount owed to Landlord under this Lease for which the
date of payment is not expressly fixed shall be due on the same date as the Rent
listed on the statement showing such amount is due; and (viii) if Landlord fails
to give Tenant an estimate of Adjustment Rent prior to the beginning of any
calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay Adjustment Rent at the rate for the
previous calendar year until Landlord delivers such estimate, at which time
Tenant shall pay retroactively the increased amount for all previous months of
such calendar year.

        3.      USE. Tenant agrees that it shall occupy and use the Building
only as non-governmental business offices and for no other purposes. Tenant
shall, at its own cost and expense, comply with all federal, state and municipal
laws, ordinances, rules and regulations issued by any governmental authority and
all covenants, conditions and restrictions of record which relate to the
condition, use or occupancy of the Building. Without limiting the foregoing,
Tenant shall not cause, nor permit, any hazardous or toxic substances to be
brought upon, produced, stored, used, discharged or disposed of in, on or about
the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord and then only in
compliance with all applicable environmental laws. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation or responsibility with
respect to any hazardous or toxic substances which Tenant or its agents did not
bring upon, produce, store, use, discharge or dispose of in or about the
Building, except to the extent that Tenant exacerbates the same or fails to
notify Landlord of the existence of any such hazardous or toxic substances after
acquiring knowledge thereof. Without limiting the generality of the effect of
the foregoing, Landlord, and not Tenant, shall be responsible for remedying
violations of environmental laws, if any, existing with respect to the Building
as of the date of delivery of the Building to Tenant and the costs and expenses
of such remediation shall not be included within Expenses.

        4.      CONDITION OF BUILDING. Tenant is taking possession of the
Building in its "as is" condition. No agreement of Landlord to alter, remodel,
decorate, clean or improve the Building (or to provide Tenant with any credit or
allowance for the same), and no representation regarding the condition of the
Building, have been made by or on behalf of Landlord or relied upon by Tenant,
except as stated in the Workletter attached hereto as Exhibit A and except that
Landlord shall be responsible for delivery of the base building heating and
cooling, plumbing and electrical systems and roof and other general building
structural components to Tenant in working order at Landlord's expense.

                                        6
<PAGE>

        5.      BUILDING SERVICES.

                A.      BASIC SERVICES. So long as Tenant is not in default
hereunder, Landlord shall furnish the following services: (i) heating,
ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC") to provide a temperature condition
required, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, for comfortable occupancy of the
interior of the Building under normal business operations, daily from 7:00 A.M.
to 7:00 P.M., plus six (6) hours of HVAC services on weekends as hereafter
provided, holidays excepted; (ii) water for drinking, and, subject to Landlord's
approval, water at Tenant's expense for any private restrooms and office kitchen
requested by Tenant; (iii) men's and women's restrooms at locations designated
by Landlord; (iv) janitor service, including replacement of paper products in
restrooms, floor care (including stripping and waxing, if applicable) at least
twice per year, cleaning of windows on a reasonably frequent basis and pest
control; (v) maintenance of exterior common areas of the Building, including
snow removal as necessary and maintenance of the landscaped areas; and (vi)
automated elevator service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

                As part of basic services, Tenant may order up to six (6) hours
in the aggregate of HVAC services on each weekend. A designated employee or
agent of Tenant may order such weekend HVAC services by providing notice to
Landlord at least three (3) days in advance of such services.

                If Tenant is not satisfied with the janitorial services provided
by Landlord, then Tenant may elect to provide such janitorial services directly,
provided that Tenant's janitorial contractor is reputable and experienced in
providing such services in first class office buildings in Brentwood, Tennessee,
Tenant shall arrange to be billed directly by such contractor. Tenant shall
provide Landlord with sufficient notice to permit Landlord to terminate any
existing janitorial service contract orderly and without fee or penalty. In the
event Tenant elects to perform such janitorial services directly, then for
purposes of determining Adjustment Rent, janitorial costs and expenses which
were included in Expenses for the Base Year shall be deducted from such Expenses
for the Base Year.

                B.      ELECTRICITY. Electricity shall be distributed to the
Building either by the electric utility company serving the Building or, at
Landlord's option, by Landlord; and Landlord shall permit Landlord's wire and
conduits, to the extent available, suitable and safely capable, to be used for
such distribution. All electricity used in the Building which is in excess of
typical general office uses, such as the operation of any special air
conditioning systems serving the Building, may be separately metered by
Landlord, at Tenant's expense, and shall be paid for by Tenant as additional
Rent hereunder.

                C.      TELEPHONES. Tenant shall arrange for telephone service
directly with one or more of the public telephone companies servicing the
Building and shall be solely responsible for paying for such telephone service.
In no event does Landlord make any representation or warranty with respect to
telephone service in the Building and Landlord shall have no liability with
respect thereto.

                                        7
<PAGE>

                D.      ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Landlord shall not be obligated to
furnish any services other than those stated above, but Landlord agrees to
cooperate in good faith with Tenant to provide such additional services as may
be reasonable requested by Tenant. If Landlord elects to furnish services
requested by Tenant in addition to those stated above (including services at
times other than those stated above), Tenant shall pay one hundred ten percent
(110%) of Landlord's actual cost to furnish such services. If Tenant shall fail
to make any such payment, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant and in addition
to all other remedies available to Landlord, discontinue any additional
services. No discontinuance of any such service shall result in any liability of
Landlord to Tenant or be considered as an eviction or a disturbance of Tenant's
use of the Building. In addition, if Tenant's concentration of personnel or
equipment adversely affects the temperature or humidity in the Building,
Landlord may install supplementary air conditioning units in the Building, and
Tenant shall pay one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the cost of installation,
operation and maintenance thereof.

                E.      FAILURE OR DELAY IN FURNISHING SERVICES. Tenant agrees
that Landlord shall not be liable for damages for failure or delay in furnishing
any service stated above if such failure or delay is caused, in whole or in
part, by any one or more of the events stated in Section 25.J. below, nor shall
any such failure or delay be considered to be an eviction or disturbance of
Tenant's use of the Building, or relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay any
Rent when due or from any other obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any such failure or delay in
furnishing any services required to be provided by Landlord hereunder is caused
by the negligence or wilful misconduct of Landlord and if such failure or delay
causes the Building to be untenantable, and as a result thereof Tenant in fact
ceases to use the Building for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive days,
then commencing on the sixth (6th) consecutive day of such untenantability and
non-use, Base Rent and Adjustment Rent payable by Tenant shall be abated until
the earliest to occur of (i) the date such failure or delay is remedied, (ii)
the date the Building is again tenantable or (iii) the date Tenant resumes use
of the requires to be provided by Landlord hereunder.

        6.      RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall observe and comply, and
shall cause its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and
agents to observe and comply, with the Rules and Regulations listed on Exhibit B
attached hereto and with such reasonable modifications and additions thereto as
Landlord may make from time to time, provided, however, that no such
modifications or additions shall have a material adverse effect on Tenant's use
of the Building for general office purposes. Landlord shall not be liable for
failure of any person to obey the Rules and Regulations. Landlord shall not be
obligated to enforce the Rules and Regulations against any person, and the
failure of Landlord to enforce any such Rules and Regulations shall not
constitute a waiver thereof or relieve Tenant from compliance therewith,
provided, however, that Landlord shall not discriminate against Tenant in the
enforcement of such Rules and Regulations.

        7.      CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the
following rights, each of which Landlord may exercise without notice to Tenant
and without liability to Tenant, and the exercise of any such rights shall not
be deemed to constitute an

                                        8
<PAGE>

eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Building and shall
not give rise to any claim for set-off or abatement of rent or any other claim:
(a) to change the name or street address of the Building; (b) to install, affix
and maintain any and all signs on the exterior or interior of the Building; (c)
to make repairs, decorations, alterations, additions or improvements, whether
structural or otherwise, in and about the Building, and for such purposes to
enter upon the Building, temporarily close doors, corridors and other areas of
the Building and interrupt or temporarily suspend services or use of common
areas, and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for overtime and similar expenses
incurred if such work is done other than during ordinary business hours at
Tenant's request; (d) to retain at all times, and to use in appropriate
instances, keys to all doors within and into the Building; (e) to show or
inspect the Building at reasonable times and, if vacated or abandoned, to
prepare the Building for reoccupancy; (f) to take any other action which
Landlord deems reasonable in connection with the operation, maintenance,
marketing or preservation of the Building; and (g) to approve the weight, size
and location of safes or other heavy equipment or articles, which articles may
be moved in, about or out of the Building only at such times and in such manner
as Landlord shall direct, at Tenant's sole risk and responsibility.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide notice to Tenant prior to
any entry into the Building hereunder, except, however, in the event of
emergency and in the event of entering the Building to provide the services that
Landlord is required to provide hereunder (such as routine janitorial services),
in which case no notice shall be required. Landlord agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant's
business in connection with any such entry into the Building. Additionally,
Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has the right to place identifying
signage on and about the Building as more fully provided in Section 25.O. below
and that Tenant intends on prominently identifying its presence in the Building
and Landlord agrees to not materially obscure such identification signage of
Tenant.

        8.      MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain
and keep the Building in good order and repair at all times during the Term.
Landlord shall be responsible for maintaining the structural components of the
Building, including the roof. Additionally, Landlord shall perform any
maintenance or make any repairs to the Building as Landlord shall desire or deem
necessary for the safety, operation or preservation of the Building, or as
Landlord may be required or requested to do by the order or decree of any court
or by any other proper authority. If any such maintenance or repairs to the
Building is required as a result of the negligence or wilful misconduct of
Tenant or its employees, contractors or agents, or breach of this Lease by
Tenant or its employees, contractors or agents, and if Tenant does not perform
such required maintenance or repair with due diligence after notice from
Landlord, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such maintenance or
repairs of the Building.

        9.      ALTERATIONS.

                A.      REQUIREMENTS. Tenant shall not make any replacement,
        alteration, improvement or addition to or removal from the Building
        (collectively an "ALTERATION") without the prior written consent of
        Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Review and
        approval of the Work (as defined in the Workletter) shall be subject to
        the terms and conditions of the Workletter, rather than the terms and
        conditions of the this Section 9. In the event Tenant proposes to make
        any alteration, Tenant shall,

                                        9
<PAGE>

        prior to commencing such alteration, submit to Landlord for prior
        written approval: (i) detailed plans and specifications; (ii) the names,
        addresses and copies of contracts for all contractors; (iii) all
        necessary permits evidencing compliance with all applicable governmental
        rules, regulations and requirements; (iv) certificates of insurance in
        form and amounts required by Landlord, naming Landlord, its managing
        agent and any other parties designated by Landlord as additional
        insureds; and (v) all other documents and information as Landlord may
        reasonably request in connection with such alteration. Tenant agrees to
        pay Landlord's reasonable charges for review of all such items and
        supervision of the alteration. Neither approval of the plans and
        specifications nor supervision of the alteration by Landlord shall
        constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord as to the accuracy,
        adequacy, sufficiency or propriety of such plans and specifications or
        the quality of workmanship or the compliance of such alteration with
        applicable law. Tenant shall pay the entire cost of the alteration and,
        if requested by Landlord, shall deposit with Landlord, prior to the
        commencement of the alteration, security for the payment and completion
        of the alteration in form and amount required by Landlord. Each
        alteration shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in
        accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and
        shall meet or exceed the standards for construction and quality of
        materials established by Landlord for the Building. In addition, each
        alteration shall be performed in compliance with all applicable
        governmental and insurance company laws, regulations and requirements.
        Each alteration shall be performed by Landlord or under Landlord's
        supervision and in harmony with Landlord's employees and contractors.
        Each alteration, whether temporary or permanent in character, made by
        Landlord or Tenant in or upon the Building (excepting only Tenant's
        furniture, equipment and trade fixtures) shall become Landlord's
        property and shall remain upon the Building at the expiration or
        termination of this Lease without compensation to Tenant; provided,
        however, that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove
        such alteration at Tenant's sole cost and expense in accordance with the
        provisions of Section 15 of this Lease, which required removal shall be
        specified by Landlord when Landlord consents to Tenant's requested
        alterations, except, however, Landlord may require removal of any
        electronic, phone, data or other telecommunications conduit and cabling
        and related equipment installed by or on behalf of Tenant by notice to
        Tenant given at any time prior to the expiration or earlier termination
        of this Lease.

                B.      LIENS. Upon completion of any alteration, Tenant shall
        promptly furnish Landlord with sworn owner's and contractors' statements
        and full and final waivers of lien covering all labor and materials
        included in such alteration. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's lien
        to be filed against the Building, or any part thereof, arising out of
        any alteration performed, or alleged to have been performed, by or on
        behalf of Tenant. If any such lien is filed, Tenant shall within twenty
        (20) days thereafter have such lien released of record or deliver to
        Landlord a bond in form, amount, and issued by a surety satisfactory to
        Landlord, indemnifying Landlord against all costs and liabilities
        resulting from such lien and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure
        thereof. If Tenant fails to have such lien so released or to deliver
        such bond to Landlord, Landlord, without investigating the validity of
        such lien, may pay or discharge the same, and Tenant shall

                                       10
<PAGE>

        reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord,
        including Landlord's expenses and attorneys' fees.

        10.     INSURANCE. In consideration of the leasing of the Building at
the rent stated herein, Landlord and Tenant agree to provide insurance and
allocate the risks of loss as follows:

                A.      TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense
        but for the mutual benefit of Landlord (when used in this Section 10.A.
        the term "LANDLORD" shall include Landlord's partners, beneficiaries,
        officers, agents, servants and employees and the term "TENANT" shall
        include Tenant's partners, beneficiaries, officers, agents, servants and
        employees), agrees to purchase and keep in force and effect during the
        term hereof, insurance under policies issued by insurers of recognized
        responsibility licensed to do business in the State of Tennessee with a
        Best's rating of A/X or better on all alterations, additions, and
        improvements owned by Tenant, and on all personal property located in
        the Building, protecting Landlord and Tenant from damage or other loss
        caused by fire or other casualty, including but not limited to vandalism
        and malicious mischief, perils covered by extended coverage, theft,
        sprinkler leakage, water damage (however caused), explosion malfunction
        or failure of heating and cooling or other apparatus, and other similar
        risks in amounts not less than the full insurable replacement value of
        such property. Such property insurance shall provide that it is specific
        and non-contributory and shall contain a replacement cost endorsement.
        Such insurance shall also contain a clause pursuant to which the
        insurance carriers waive all rights of subrogation against the Landlord
        with respect to losses payable under such policies.

                Tenant also agrees to maintain commercial general liability
        insurance covering Tenant as the insured party, and naming Landlord as
        an additional insured, against claims for bodily injury and death and
        property damage occurring in or about the Building in accordance with
        Section 11 below, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars
        ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00)
        general aggregate.

                Tenant shall, prior to commencement of the term, furnish to
        Landlord certificates evidencing such coverage, which certificates shall
        state that such insurance coverage may not be changed or canceled
        without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and
        Tenant. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance,
        Landlord may at its option after giving Tenant no less than ten (10)
        days prior written notice of its election to do so procure the same for
        the account of Tenant and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as
        additional rent upon receipt by Tenant of bills therefor.

                B.      LANDLORD'S INSURANCE. Landlord agrees to purchase and
        keep in force and effect commercial general liability insurance in an
        amount not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and insurance
        on the Building improvements (not including, however, any tenant
        improvements, alterations or additions) against fire or other casualty,
        including but not limited to vandalism and malicious mischief, perils
        covered by extended coverage, theft, sprinkler leakage, water damage
        (however caused), explosion,

                                       11
<PAGE>

        malfunction or failure of heating and cooling or other apparatus, and
        other similar risks in a commercially reasonable amount.

                C.      RISK OF LOSS. By this Section 10, Landlord and Tenant
        intend that the risk of loss or damage as described above be borne by
        responsible insurance carriers to the extent above provided, and
        Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to look solely to, and to seek recovery
        only from, their respective insurance carriers in the event of a loss of
        a type described above to the extent that such coverage is agreed to be
        provided hereunder. For this purpose, any applicable deductible amount
        shall be treated as though it were recoverable under such policies.
        Landlord and Tenant agree that applicable portions of all monies
        collected from such insurance shall be used toward the full compliance
        with the obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease in
        connection with damage resulting from fire or other casualty.

        11.     INDEMNIFICATION/HOLD HARMLESS.. Tenant agrees to indemnify and
hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
damages, causes of action, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, for
personal injury, death, property damage, and other losses occurring in or on the
Building arising from Tenant's negligence or failure of the Tenant to perform
any of its obligations under the Lease, excluding, however, damages arising out
of the negligence of Landlord or failure of Landlord to perform any of its
obligations under the Lease.

        Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against
any and all claims, liabilities, damages, causes of action, costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, for personal injury, death, property damage, and
other losses occurring in or on the Building as a result of Landlord's
negligence or failure of the Landlord to perform any of its obligations under
the Lease, excluding, however, damages arising out of the negligence of the
Tenant or failure of Tenant to perform any of its obligations under the Lease.

        12.     FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.

                A.      DESTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING. If the Building should be
        substantially destroyed (which, as used herein, means destruction or
        damage to at least 50% of the Building) by fire or other casualty,
        either party hereto may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving
        written notice thereof to the other party within thirty (30) days of
        such casualty. In such event, Rent shall be apportioned to and shall
        cease as of the date of such casualty. In the event neither party
        exercises this option, then the Building shall be reconstructed and
        restored, at Landlord's expense, to substantially the same condition as
        they were prior to the casualty. In such event, Rent shall be abated
        from the date of the casualty until substantial completion of the
        reconstruction and repairs.

                B.      DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING. If the Building is damaged, in
        whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, but the Building is not
        substantially destroyed as provided above, then the parties hereto shall
        have the following options:

                                       12
<PAGE>

                        (i)     If, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the
                Building cannot be reconstructed or restored within two hundred
                seventy (270) days of such casualty to substantially the same
                condition as it was in prior to such casualty, Landlord may
                terminate this Lease by written notice given to Tenant within
                thirty (30) days of the casualty. If, in Landlord's reasonable
                judgement, the Building cannot be reconstructed or restored
                within two hundred seventy (270) days of such casualty to
                substantially the same condition as it was in prior to such
                casualty, but nonetheless Landlord does not so elect to
                terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall notify Tenant, within
                thirty (30) days of the casualty, of the amount of time
                necessary, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, to reconstruct
                or restore the Building. After receipt of such notice from
                Landlord, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease. This
                election shall be made by Tenant by giving written notice to
                Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the date of Landlord's
                notice. If neither party terminates this Lease pursuant to the
                foregoing, Landlord shall proceed to reconstruct and restore the
                Building to substantially the same condition as they were in
                prior to the casualty. In such event this Lease shall continue
                in full force and effect to the balance of the term, upon the
                same terms, conditions and covenants as are contained herein;
                provided, however, that the Rent shall be abated in the
                proportion which the approximate area of the damaged portion
                bears to the total area in the Building, from the date of the
                casualty until substantial completion of the reconstruction of
                the Building.

                        Notwithstanding the above, if the casualty occurs during
                the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease, either
                party hereto shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of
                the date of the casualty, which right shall be exercised by
                written notice to be given by either party to the other party
                within thirty (30) days therefrom. If this right is exercised,
                Rent shall be apportioned to and shall cease as of the date of
                the casualty. After a casualty occurs during the last twelve
                (12) months of the term of the Lease, Tenant may not exercise
                any renewal options without first obtaining Landlord's written
                consent.

                        Additionally, notwithstanding anything contained herein
                to the contrary, Landlord shall have no duty to repair or
                restore the Building if the damage is due to an uninsurable
                casualty, or if insurance proceeds are insufficient to pay for
                such repair or restoration, or if the holder of any mortgage,
                deed of trust or similar instrument applies proceeds of
                insurance to reduce its loan balance and the remaining proceeds,
                if any, available to Landlord are not sufficient to pay for such
                repair or restoration. Tenant shall make any proceeds of
                Tenant's casualty insurance available to Landlord in connection
                with any such repair or restoration of the Building and, in the
                event this Lease is terminated as a result of any casualty as
                herein provided, such insurance proceeds shall be paid to
                Landlord.

                        (ii)    If, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the
                Building are able to be restored within two hundred seventy
                (270) days of such casualty to substantially the same condition
                as they were prior to such casualty, Landlord shall so notify
                Tenant within thirty (30) days of the casualty, and Landlord
                shall then proceed to

                                       13
<PAGE>

                reconstruct and restore the damaged portion of the Building, at
                Landlord's expense, to substantially the same condition as it
                was prior to the casualty, Rent shall be abated in the
                proportion which the approximate area of the damaged portion
                bears to the total area in the Building from the date of the
                casualty until substantial completion of the reconstruction
                repairs, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
                for the balance of the term, upon the same terms, conditions and
                covenants as are contained herein.

                        (iii)   In the event Landlord undertakes reconstruction
                or restoration of the Building pursuant to subparagraph (i) or
                (ii) above, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence in
                completing such reconstruction repairs, but in the event
                Landlord fails to substantially complete the same within three
                hundred thirty (330) days from the date of the casualty (except
                however, if under subparagraph (i) above Landlord notified
                Tenant that it would take longer than two hundred seventy (270)
                days to reconstruct or restore the Building, but Tenant
                nonetheless elected not to terminate the Lease but require
                Landlord to reconstruct or restore the Building, then the
                foregoing three hundred and thirty (330) day period shall be
                extended to the time period set forth in Landlord's notice plus
                sixty (60) days), except as a result of any of the occurrences
                set forth in Section 25.J. below, Tenant may, at its option,
                terminate this Lease upon giving Landlord written notice to that
                effect, whereupon both parties shall be released from all
                further obligations and liability hereunder.

        13.     CONDEMNATION. If the Building is rendered untenantable by reason
of a condemnation (or by a deed given in lieu thereof), then either party may
terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party
within thirty (30) days after such condemnation, in which event this Lease shall
terminate effective as of the date of such condemnation. If this Lease so
terminates, Rent shall be paid through and apportioned as of the date of such
condemnation. If such condemnation does not render the Building untenantable,
this Lease shall continue in effect and Landlord shall promptly restore the
portion not condemned to the extent reasonably possible to the condition
existing prior to the condemnation. In such event, however, Landlord shall not
be required to expend an amount in excess of the proceeds received by Landlord
from the condemning authority. Landlord reserves all rights to compensation for
any condemnation. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to
such compensation, and Tenant shall make no claim against Landlord or the
condemning authority for compensation for termination of Tenant's leasehold
interest under this Lease or interference with Tenant's business; provided
however, that Tenant may make a separate claim for moving and relocation
expenses.

        14.     ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

                A.      LANDLORD'S CONSENT. Tenant shall not, without the prior
        written consent of Landlord: (i) assign, convey, mortgage or otherwise
        transfer this Lease or any interest hereunder, or sublease the Building,
        or any part thereof, whether voluntarily or by operation of law; or (ii)
        permit the use of the Building by any person other than Tenant and its
        employees. Any such transfer, sublease or use described in the preceding

                                       14
<PAGE>

        sentence (a "TRANSFER") occurring without the prior written consent of
        Landlord shall be void and of no effect. Landlord's consent to any
        Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to withhold
        its consent to any future Transfer. Landlord's consent to any Transfer
        or acceptance of rent from any party other than Tenant shall not release
        Tenant from any covenant or obligation under this Lease. Landlord may
        require as a condition to its consent to any assignment of this Lease
        that the assignee execute an instrument in which such assignee assumes
        the obligations of Tenant hereunder. For the purposes of this paragraph,
        the transfer (whether direct or indirect) of all or a majority of the
        capital stock in a corporate Tenant (other than the shares of the
        capital stock of a corporate Tenant whose stock is publicly traded) or
        the merger, consolidation or reorganization of such Tenant and the
        transfer of all or any general partnership interest in any partnership
        Tenant shall be considered a Transfer.

                B.      STANDARDS FOR CONSENT. If Tenant desires the consent of
        Landlord to a Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least
        forty-five (45) days prior to the proposed effective date of the
        Transfer, a written notice which includes such information as Landlord
        may require about the proposed Transfer and the transferee, together
        with a non-refundable processing fee in the amount of five hundred
        dollars ($500.00). If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, in whole
        or in part, pursuant to Section 14C, Landlord shall not unreasonably
        withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease, which consent or
        lack thereof shall be provided within thirty (30) days of receipt of
        Tenant's notice. Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably
        withheld its consent if, in the judgment of Landlord: (i) the transferee
        is of a character or engaged in a business which is not in keeping with
        the standards or criteria used by Landlord in leasing the Building; (ii)
        the financial condition of the transferee is such that it may not be
        able to perform its obligations in connection with this Lease; (iii) the
        transferee is a governmental unit; (iv) Tenant is in Default under this
        Lease; (v) in the judgment of Landlord, such a Transfer would violate
        any term, condition, covenant or agreement of the Landlord involving the
        Building; or (vi) any other basis which Landlord reasonably deems
        appropriate. If Landlord wrongfully withholds its consent to any
        Transfer, Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek
        specific performance of Landlord's obligation to consent to such
        Transfer.

                C.      RECAPTURE. Landlord shall have the right to terminate
        this Lease as to that portion of the Building covered by a Transfer.
        Landlord may exercise such right to terminate by giving notice to Tenant
        at any time within thirty (30) days after the date on which Tenant has
        furnished to Landlord all of the items required under Section 14.B. If
        Landlord exercises such right to terminate, Landlord shall be entitled
        to recover possession of, and Tenant shall surrender such portion of,
        the Building (with appropriate demising partitions erected at the
        expense of Tenant) on the later of (i) the effective date of the
        proposed Transfer, or (ii) sixty (60) days after the date of Landlord's
        notice of termination. In the event Landlord exercises such right to
        terminate, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease with the
        proposed transferee without incurring any liability to Tenant on account
        thereof. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay to
        Landlord all rent and other consideration received by Tenant in excess
        of the Rent paid by Tenant hereunder for the portion of the Building so
        transferred. Such rent shall be

                                       15
<PAGE>

        paid as and when received by Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall pay to
        Landlord any reasonable attorneys' or other fees and expenses incurred
        by Landlord in connection with any proposed Transfer, whether or not
        Landlord consents to such Transfer.

                D.      ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLET TO SUCCESSOR. Notwithstanding
        anything to the contrary in this Section 14, Landlord's consent shall
        not be required for an assignment or sublet to an Successor (as
        hereinafter defined), and the provisions of Section 14.C above shall not
        be applicable to such assignment or sublet, as long as (i) Tenant
        provides to Landlord evidence, in form and substance satisfactory to
        Landlord, that such Successor has a net worth greater than or equal to
        that of Tenant as of the date hereof, (ii) Tenant is not in default
        under this Lease, (iii) Tenant gives reasonable advance notice to
        Landlord of the proposed assignment or sublet to the Successor and (iv)
        such assignment or sublet is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its
        obligations under this Lease. No such Transfer to an Successor, however,
        shall release Tenant from any liability or obligation under this Lease.
        As used herein, "Successor" shall mean any entity with which Tenant may
        merge or consolidate or which acquires all or substantially all of the
        capital stock or assets of Tenant.

        15.     SURRENDER. Upon termination of the Term or Tenant's right to
possession of the Building, Tenant shall return the Building to Landlord in good
order and condition, ordinary wear and damage by fire or other casualty
excepted. If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any alterations pursuant to
Section 9, then such removal shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner, and
upon such removal Tenant shall restore the Building to its condition prior to
the installation of such alterations. If Tenant does not remove such alterations
after request to do so by Landlord, Landlord may remove the same and restore the
Building, and Tenant shall pay the cost of such removal and restoration to
Landlord upon demand. Tenant shall also remove its furniture, equipment, trade
fixtures and all other items of personal property from the Building prior to
termination of the Term or Tenant's right to possession of the Building. If
Tenant does not remove such items, Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have
conveyed the same to Landlord without further payment or credit by Landlord to
Tenant, or at Landlord's sole option such items shall be deemed abandoned, in
which event Landlord may cause such items to be removed and disposed of at
Tenant's expense, which shall be 115% of Landlord's actual cost of removal,
without notice to Tenant and without obligation to compensate Tenant.

        16.     DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

                A.      DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall
        constitute a default (a "DEFAULT") by Tenant under this Lease: (i)
        Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due and such failure is not cured
        within five (5) days after notice from Landlord (which notice may be in
        the form of a Landlord statutory five (5) day notice); (ii) Tenant fails
        to perform any other provision of this Lease and such failure is not
        cured within thirty (30) days (or immediately if the failure involves a
        hazardous condition) after notice from Landlord; (iii) the leasehold
        interest of Tenant is levied upon or attached under process of law; (iv)
        Tenant abandons or vacates the Building without notice to Landlord; or
        (v) any voluntary or involuntary proceedings are filed by or against
        Tenant or any guarantor of

                                       16
<PAGE>

        this Lease under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws and, in the
        case of any involuntary proceedings, are not dismissed within thirty
        (30) days after filing.

                B.      RIGHT OF RE-ENTRY. Upon the occurrence of a Default,
        Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease or, without terminating this
        Lease, terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Building. Upon any
        such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender and vacate the
        Building and deliver possession thereof to Landlord. Tenant grants to
        Landlord the right to enter and repossess the Building and to expel
        Tenant and any others who may be occupying the Building and to remove
        any and all property therefrom, without being deemed in any manner
        guilty of trespass and without relinquishing Landlord's rights to Rent
        or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.

                C.      TERMINATION OF RIGHT TO POSSESSION. If Landlord
        terminates Tenant's right to possession of the Building without
        terminating this Lease, Landlord may relet the Building or any part
        thereof. In such case, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet
        the Building on such terms as Landlord shall reasonably deem
        appropriate; provided, however, Landlord may first lease Landlord's
        other available space and shall not be required to accept any tenant
        offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by Tenant about
        such reletting. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs and
        expenses of reletting the Building including, but not limited to, all
        brokerage, advertising, legal, alteration, redecorating, repairs and
        other expenses incurred to secure a new tenant for the Building. In
        addition, if the consideration collected by Landlord upon any such
        reletting, after payment of the expenses of reletting the Building which
        have not been reimbursed by Tenant, is insufficient to pay monthly the
        full amount of the Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of each
        monthly deficiency as it becomes due. If such consideration is greater
        than the amount necessary to pay the full amount of the Rent, the full
        amount of such excess shall be retained by Landlord and shall in no
        event be payable to Tenant.

                D.      TERMINATION OF LEASE. If Landlord terminates this Lease,
        Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on
        demand, as and for liquidated and final damages, an accelerated lump sum
        amount equal to the amount by which Landlord's estimate of the aggregate
        amount of Rent owing from the date of such termination through the
        Expiration Date plus Landlord's estimate of the aggregate expenses of
        reletting the Building, exceeds Landlord's estimate of the fair rental
        value of the Building for the same period (after deducting from such
        fair rental value the time needed to relet the Building and the amount
        of concessions which would normally be given to a new tenant) both
        discounted to present value at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum.

                E.      OTHER REMEDIES. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated
        to, perform any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, and, if Landlord
        so elects, all costs and expenses paid by Landlord in performing such
        obligation, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be
        reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord on demand. Any and all remedies set
        forth in this Lease: (i) shall be in addition to any and all other
        remedies

                                       17
<PAGE>

        Landlord may have at law or in equity; (ii) shall be cumulative; and
        (iii) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord may elect.
        The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an election
        of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in
        the future.

                F.      BANKRUPTCY. If Tenant becomes bankrupt, the bankruptcy
        trustee shall not have the right to assume or assign this Lease unless
        the trustee complies with all requirements of the United States
        Bankruptcy Code, and Landlord expressly reserves all of its rights,
        claims and remedies thereunder.

                G.      WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Landlord and Tenant waive trial
        by jury in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought
        by either Landlord or Tenant against the other in connection with this
        Lease.

                H.      VENUE. If either Landlord or Tenant desires to bring an
        action against the other in connection with this Lease, such action
        shall be brought in the federal courts located in Nashville, Tennessee,
        or state courts located in Williamson County, Tennessee. Landlord and
        Tenant consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any right to
        have such action transferred from such courts on the grounds of improper
        venue or inconvenient forum.

        17.     HOLDING OVER. If Tenant retains possession of all or any portion
of the Building after the expiration or termination of the Term or Tenant's
right to possession of the Building, Tenant shall pay Rent during such holding
over at 150% times the rate in effect immediately preceding such holding over
computed on a monthly basis for each month or partial month that Tenant remains
in possession. Tenant shall also pay, indemnify and defend Landlord from and
against all claims and damages, consequential as well as direct, sustained by
reason of Tenant's holding over. The provisions of this section do not waive
Landlord's right of re-entry or right to regain possession by actions at law or
in equity or any other rights hereunder, and any receipt of payment by Landlord
shall not be deemed a consent by Landlord to Tenant's remaining in possession or
be construed as creating or renewing any lease or right of tenancy between
Landlord and Tenant.

        18.     [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

        19.     [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

        20.     ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant agrees that, from time to time upon
not less than ten (10) business days' prior request by Landlord, Tenant shall
execute and deliver to Landlord a written certificate certifying: (i) that this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been
modifications, a description of such modifications and that this Lease as
modified is in full force and effect); (ii) the dates to which Rent has been
paid; (iii) that Tenant is in possession of the Building, if that is the case;
(iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease, or, if Tenant believes
Landlord is in default, the nature thereof in detail; (v) that Tenant has no
off-sets or defenses to the performance of its obligations under this Lease (or
if Tenant believes there are any off-sets or defenses, a full and complete
explanation thereof);

                                       18
<PAGE>

(vi) that the Building have been completed in accordance with the terms and
provisions hereof or the Workletter, that Tenant has accepted the Building and
the condition thereof and of all improvements thereto and has no claims against
Landlord or any other party with respect thereto; and (vii) such additional
matters as may be requested by Landlord, it being agreed that such certificate
may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or other person
having or acquiring an interest in the Building. If Tenant fails to execute and
deliver any such certificate within ten days after request, Tenant shall be
deemed to have irrevocably appointed Landlord and Landlord's beneficiaries as
Tenant's attorneys-in-fact to execute and deliver such certificate in Tenant's
name.

        21.     SUBORDINATION. This Lease is and shall be expressly subject and
subordinate at all times to (i) any ground or underlying lease of the Building,
now or hereafter existing, and all amendments, renewals and modifications to any
such lease, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or trust deed now or hereafter
encumbering fee title to the Building and/or the leasehold estate under any such
lease, unless such ground lease or ground lessor, or mortgage or mortgagee,
expressly provides or elects that the Lease shall be superior to such lease or
mortgage; provided, however, that notwithstanding such subordination, unless
Tenant is in Default hereunder, Tenant's quiet enjoyment of the Building
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease shall not be disturbed by the
holder of any such superior instrument. If any such mortgage or trust deed is
foreclosed, or if any such lease is terminated, upon request of the mortgagee,
holder or lessor, as the case may be, Tenant will attorn to the purchaser at the
foreclosure sale or to the lessor under such lease, as the case may be. The
foregoing provisions are declared to be self-operative and no further
instruments shall be required to effect such subordination and/or attornment;
provided, however, that Tenant agrees upon request by any such mortgagee,
holder, lessor or purchaser at foreclosure, to execute and deliver such
subordination and/or attornment instruments as may be required by such person to
confirm such subordination and/or attornment, or any other documents required to
evidence superiority of the ground lease or mortgage, should ground lessor or
mortgage elect such superiority; provided, however, that any such subordination
instrument shall confirm that Tenant's quiet enjoyment of the Building pursuant
to the terms and conditions of this Lease shall not be disturbed by the holder
of any such superior instrument so long as Tenant is not Default hereunder. If
Tenant fails to execute and deliver any such instrument or document within ten
(10) days after request, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed
Landlord and Landlord's beneficiaries as Tenant's attorneys-in-fact to execute
and deliver such instrument or document in Tenant's name.

        22.     QUIET ENJOYMENT. As long as no Default exists, Tenant shall
peacefully and quietly have and enjoy the Building for the Term, free from
interference by Landlord, subject, however, to the provisions of this Lease. The
loss or reduction of Tenant's light, air or view will not be deemed a
disturbance of Tenant's occupancy of the Building nor will it affect Tenant's
obligations under this Lease or create any liability of Landlord to Tenant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Lease to the
contrary, Landlord shall not voluntarily obstruct any identifying signage of
Tenant.

        23.     BROKER. Tenant represents to Landlord that Tenant has dealt only
with the broker(s) set forth in Item 6 of the Schedule (collectively, the
"BROKER") in connection with this Lease and that, insofar as Tenant knows, no
other broker negotiated this Lease or is entitled to

                                       19
<PAGE>

any commission in connection herewith. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Landlord and Landlord's beneficiaries and agents harmless from and against
any claims for a fee or commission made by any broker, other than the Broker,
claiming to have acted by or on behalf of Tenant in connection with this Lease.
Landlord agrees to pay the Broker a commission in accordance with a separate
agreement between Landlord and the Broker.

        24.     NOTICES. All notices and demands to be given by one party to the
other party under this Lease shall be given in writing, mailed or delivered to

                A.      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to Section 14 of this
        Lease, each provision of this Lease shall extend to, bind and inure to
        the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective legal
        representatives, successors and assigns, and all references herein to
        Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed to include all such parties.

                B.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease, and the riders and
        exhibits, if any, attached hereto which are hereby made a part of this
        Lease, represent the complete agreement between Landlord and Tenant, and
        Landlord has made no representations or warranties except as expressly
        set forth in this Lease. No modification or amendment of or waiver under

                C.      TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Lease
        and each and all of its provisions.

                D.      EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Submission of this instrument
        for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation
        of space or an option for lease, and it is not effective until execution
        and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant. Execution and delivery of this
        Lease by Tenant to Landlord shall constitute an irrevocable offer by
        Tenant to lease the Building on the terms and conditions set forth
        herein, which offer may not be revoked for fifteen (15) days after such
        delivery.

                E.      SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
        provision of this Lease shall not affect or impair any
                        other provisions.

                F.      GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be governed by and
        construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee.

                G.      ATTORNEYS' FEES. . In any action or proceeding
        hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the
        other party the prevailing party's reasonable costs and expenses in such
        action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and
        expenses.

                H.      [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

                I.      JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If Tenant is comprised of
        more than one party, each such party shall be jointly and severally
        liable for Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

                J.      FORCE MAJEURE. Landlord shall not be in default
        hereunder and Tenant shall not be excused from performing any of its
        obligations hereunder if Landlord is prevented from performing any of
        its obligations hereunder due to any accident, strike, shortage of
        materials, acts of God or other causes beyond Landlord's reasonable
        control. Tenant shall not be in default hereunder and Landlord shall not
        be excused from performing any of its obligations hereunder if Tenant is
        prevented from performing any of its obligations hereunder due to any
        accident, strike, shortage of materials, acts of God or other causes
        beyond Tenant's reasonable control, except, however, in no event shall
        Tenant's obligation to timely pay Rent hereunder be excused.

                K.      CAPTIONS. The headings and titles in this Lease are for
        convenience only and shall have no effect upon the construction or
        interpretation of this Lease.

                L.      NO WAIVER. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant
        after termination of this Lease or after the service of any notice or
        after the commencing of any suit or after final judgment for possession
        of the Building shall renew, reinstate, continue or extend the Term or
        affect any such notice or suit. No waiver of any default of Tenant shall
        be implied from any omission by Landlord to take any action on account
        of such default if such default persists or be repeated, and no express
        waiver shall affect any

                                       21
<PAGE>

        default other than the default specified in the express waiver and then
        only for the time and to the extent therein stated.

                M.      ERISA.

                        (i)     Neither Tenant nor any of its "affiliates"
                (within the meaning of Part V(c) of Prohibited Transaction
                Exemption 84-14, 49 Fed. Reg. 9494 (1984), as amended ("PTE
                84-14")) has, or during the immediately preceding year has
                exercised the authority to:

                                (a)     appoint or terminate Landlord as
                        investment manager over assets of any "employee benefit
                        plan" (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee
                        Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
                        ("ERISA") invested in, or sponsored by, Landlord; or

                                (b)     negotiate the terms of a management
                        agreement (including renewals or modifications thereof)
                        with Landlord on behalf of any such plan;

                        (ii)    Tenant is not "related" to Landlord (as
                determined under in Part V(h) of PTE 84-14);

                        (iii)   Tenant has negotiated and determined the terms
                of this Lease at arm's length, as such terms would be negotiated
                and determined by the Tenant with unrelated parties; and

                        (iv)    Tenant is not an "employee benefit plan" as
                defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, a "plan" as defined in Section
                4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
                an entity deemed to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29
                C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101 of any such employee benefit plan or plan.

                N.      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Any liability of Landlord under
        this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Building, and
        in no event shall any personal liability be asserted against Landlord in
        connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other
        property or assets of Landlord.

                O.      SIGNAGE. Provided that Tenant is not in default under
        any of the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the
        right to erect and maintain such exterior identifying signage on the
        Building (which includes on the building itself as well as on a monument
        sign which may be erected by Tenant on the land) as Tenant may desire
        ("TENANT'S SIGNAGE"). Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and
        expense, for the purchase, installation, maintenance (in a first-class
        manner) and removal at the expiration or earlier termination of this
        Lease, of all of Tenant's Signage; provided, however, that the cost of
        purchasing and installing Tenant's Signage may be paid for by Landlord's
        Contribution as more fully provided in the Workletter. Tenant shall be
        responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, orders and
        regulations of the municipality in which the Building is located in
        connection with Tenant's Signage. Such signage rights

                                       22
<PAGE>

        hereunder are personal to Tractor Supply Company, and may not be
        assigned or subleased.

                P.      CESSATION OF BUSINESS. Tenant shall have no obligation
        to conduct business from the Building. If, however, Tenant elects to
        cease operations from all or substantially all of the Building, than
        Landlord may, by written notice given to Tenant, elect to terminate this
        Lease as of a date specified in such written notice from Landlord to
        Tenant.

        26.     SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT.

                A.      Tenant shall have the right to install, operate and
        maintain (i) certain telecommunications equipment on the roof of the
        Building (collectively, the "ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT") and (ii) and an
        emergency back-up generator and related equipment (the "GENERATOR"). The
        Rooftop Equipment and the Generator are sometimes collectively referred
        to herein as the "SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT". The exact location of the space
        on the roof where the Rooftop Equipment will be located shall be
        designated by Landlord (the "ROOF SPACE") and the exact location of
        generator will be designated by Landlord (the "GENERATOR SPACE").
        Landlord's designation shall take into account Tenant's use of the
        Rooftop Equipment and Generator, as the case may be. Tenant's right to
        install the Specialty Equipment shall be subject to the approval rights
        of Landlord and Landlord's architect and/or engineer with respect to the
        plans and specifications for the Specialty Equipment, the manner in
        which the Specialty Equipment is attached to the Roof Space and
        Generator Space, as the case may be, and the manner in which any cables
        are run to and from the Specialty Equipment. The precise specifications
        and description of the Specialty Equipment along with all documents
        Landlord reasonably requires to review the installation of the Specialty
        Equipment (the "PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS"), which information shall
        include structural reports, shall be submitted to Landlord for
        Landlord's written approval no later than thirty (30) days before Tenant
        commences to install the Specialty Equipment. Tenant shall be
        responsible for reimbursing Landlord for all costs and expenses incurred
        by Landlord in reviewing any such plans and specifications. Tenant shall
        be solely responsible for obtaining all necessary governmental and
        regulatory approvals and for the cost of installing, operating,
        maintaining and removing the Specialty Equipment. Tenant shall notify
        Landlord upon completion of the installation of the Specialty Equipment.
        If Landlord determines that the Specialty Equipment does not comply with
        the approved Plans and Specifications, that the Building has been
        damaged during installation of the Specialty Equipment or that the
        installation was defective, Landlord shall notify Tenant of any
        noncompliance or detected problems and Tenant immediately shall cure the
        defects. If Tenant fails to immediately cure the defects, Tenant shall
        pay to Landlord upon demand the cost, as reasonably determined by
        Landlord, of correcting any defects and repairing any damage to the
        Building caused by such installation. If at any time Landlord, in its
        reasonable discretion, deems it necessary, Tenant shall provide and
        install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, appropriate aesthetic
        screening, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, for the Specialty
        Equipment (the "AESTHETIC SCREENING").

                                       23
<PAGE>

                B.      Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at its
        sole risk, install, operate and maintain the Specialty Equipment in a
        good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all building,
        electric, communication, and safety codes, ordinances, standards,
        regulations and requirements, now in effect or hereafter promulgated, of
        the Federal Government, and of the state, city and county in which the
        Building is located. Landlord and its agents assume no responsibility
        for the licensing, operation and/or maintenance of Tenant's equipment.
        The Specialty Equipment shall be connected to Landlord's power supply in
        strict compliance with all applicable building, electrical, fire and
        safety codes. Installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the
        Specialty Equipment shall be performed by Tenant or Tenant's authorized
        representative or contractors, which shall be approved by Landlord, at
        Tenant's sole cost and risk. Without limiting the generality of the
        effect of the foregoing, if required by Landlord, Tenant shall use
        Landlord's designated rooftop construction consultant or contractor in
        connection with installation of the Specialty Equipment and, if
        applicable, the Aesthetic Screening. Neither Landlord nor its agents
        shall have any responsibility or liability for the conduct or safety of
        any of Tenant's representatives, repair, maintenance and engineering
        personnel while in or on any part of the Building, including the Roof
        Space and Generator Space.

                C.      The Specialty Equipment, the appurtenances and the
        Aesthetic Screening, if any, shall remain the personal property of
        Tenant, and shall be removed by Tenant at its own expense at the
        expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to
        possession hereunder. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such
        removal, including the patching of any holes to match, as closely as
        possible, the color surrounding the area where the equipment and
        appurtenances were attached. Tenant agrees to maintain all of Tenant's
        equipment placed on or about any part of the Building in proper
        operating condition and maintain same in satisfactory condition as to
        appearance and safety.

                D.      Such Specialty Equipment rights hereunder personal to
        Tractor Supply Company, and may not be assigned or subleased.

        27.     RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Tenant shall have the option, to be
exercised as hereinafter provided, to terminate the Term of this Lease effective
as of either (a) the day before the 6th anniversary of the Commencement Date or
(b) the day before the 7th anniversary of the Commencement Date (the applicable
date being referred to as the "TERMINATION DATE"). Such option shall be
exercised, if at all, time being of the essence, by written notice given by
Tenant to Landlord ("TERMINATION NOTICE") no later than 270 days prior to the
Termination Date and subject to payment by Tenant to Landlord of the sum of (a)
$950,000.00 if the Termination Date is the day before the 6th anniversary of the
Commencement Date or (b) $500,000 if the Termination Date is the day before the
7th anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "TERMINATION FEE"). The
Termination Fee shall be paid simultaneously with the giving of the Termination
Notice. Tenant may not, unless Landlord otherwise agrees, exercise its option to
terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 27 at any time at which a default
by Tenant exists under this Lease, and no such termination shall be effective if
such default exists unless Landlord otherwise agrees. Any notice of exercise of
Tenant's option to terminate the term of this Lease pursuant to this Section 27
shall be irrevocable by Tenant once given. If Tenant so exercises its option to
terminate the term of this Lease and pays to Landlord the Termination Fee as
above

                                       24
<PAGE>

provided, then effective as of the Termination Date, this Lease shall be
deemed to have expired by lapse of time, and Tenant shall return the Building to
Landlord on the Termination Date in accordance with the requirements of this
Lease. All obligations of Tenant which accrue under this Lease on or before the
Termination Date shall survive such termination.

        28.     OPTIONS TO EXTEND.

                A.      Tenant, at its option, shall have the right to extend
        (each an "OPTION TO EXTEND") the Term for the entire Building for two
        (2) consecutive additional three (3) year terms (each an "EXTENDED
        TERM") by delivering written notice to Landlord at least two hundred
        seventy (270) days, time being of the essence, prior to the then
        Expiration Date of the Term. Tenant's exercise of an Option to Extend
        shall be irrevocable by Tenant once made. The Extended Term shall
        commence the day following the then current Expiration Date of the Term,
        expire on the day preceding the annual anniversary of such date three
        (3) years thereafter and be upon the same terms, covenants and
        conditions as provided in this Lease for the Term, except that Base Rent
        shall be at the rates set forth below:

        exercise of the option and on the commencement date of the applicable
        Extended Term, this Lease is in full force and effect and, unless waived
        by Landlord, no event or circumstance exists which, with the giving of
        notice or the passage of time, or both, could constitute a default by
        Tenant under this Lease, and, inasmuch as this option is intended only
        for the original Tenant named in this Lease, the entire Building is then
        occupied by the original Tenant herein, and Tenant has not assigned this
        Lease or sublet any portion of the Building. Without limitation of the
        foregoing, no sublessee or assignee shall be entitled to exercise an
        Option to Extend, and, unless waived by Landlord, no exercise of an
        Option to Extend by the original Tenant named herein shall be effective
        if Tenant assigns this Lease or subleases any portion of the Building
        prior to the date of commencement of the Extended Term. Additionally,
        notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant's
        rights under this Section 28 are conditioned upon Tenant delivering to
        Landlord, simultaneously with the delivery of Tenant's notice under
        Section 28.A above, Tenant's then current financial statements
        evidencing that no material adverse change in the financial condition of
        Tenant has occurred since the financial statements delivered by Tenant
        to Landlord in connection with the initial Term, with respect to the
        first Option to Extend, or delivered by Tenant to Landlord in connection
        with the first Option to Extend, with respect to the second Option to
        Extend.

                C.      Upon the valid exercise by Tenant of an Option to
        Extend, at the request of either party hereto and within thirty (30)
        days after such request, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written
        amendment to this Lease confirming the terms, conditions and provisions
        applicable to the Extended Term as determined in accordance with the
        provisions of this Section 28.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease in
manner sufficient to bind them as of the day and year first above written.

                                   WORKLETTER

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Lease, unless otherwise defined herein. In consideration of the covenants
contained in this Workletter and in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree as
follows:

TENANT'S
PLANS                           1.      Tenant desires Landlord to perform
                        certain leasehold improvement work in the Building (the
                        "WORK") pursuant to that certain Preliminary Space Plan
                        attached hereto as Attachment 1 ("TENANT'S SPACE PLAN").
                        The Work and all plans, drawings and specifications to
                        be furnished by Tenant shall be subject to Landlord's
                        approval. Approval by Landlord of the Work, Tenant's
                        Space Plan, the Working Drawings (as hereinafter
                        defined) and any additional plans, drawings,
                        specifications and finish details furnished by Tenant,
                        shall not constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant
                        of the adequacy of the design for Tenant's intended use
                        of the Building.

WORKING DRAWINGS
AND BIDS                        2.      Tenant shall cause Tenant's architect to
                        prepare final working drawings and specifications for
                        the Work (the "WORKING DRAWINGS") based upon Tenant's
                        Space Plan and deliver same to Landlord on or before
                        February 23, 2004, for review and approval by Landlord.
                        Landlord shall either approve the proposed Working
                        Drawings or reject same, with written comments, within
                        five (5) business days after receipt of same from
                        Tenant. The requirements of the preceding provisions of
                        this Paragraph 2 shall be repeated until Tenant approves
                        the Working Drawings or until the Working Drawings are
                        deemed approved.

                                Upon approval of the Working Drawings, or
                        earlier if mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant,
                        Landlord and Tenant shall submit the Working Drawings to
                        the general contractors selected by Landlord and Tenant
                        for bid. Tenant shall have the right to select the
                        general contractor for the Work from the responsive
                        bidders.

PERFORMANCE
OF THE WORK                     3.      Landlord shall perform, and the Work
                        shall include, (i) any costs associated with Landlord's
                        preparation of the Working Drawings, (ii) demolition of
                        existing improvements in the Building, (iii) the work
                        shown on the Working Drawings and (iv) any Additional
                        Work which Landlord agrees to perform pursuant to
                        Paragraph 7. The cost of the Work shall include all
                        costs incurred by Landlord in performing the Work as
                        described above as well as supervision fee equal to 5%
                        of the cost of the Work.

                                       A-1
<PAGE>

                                In addition to the Work, Landlord shall, at its
                        sole cost and expense, install one (1) freight elevator
                        in the Building.

PAYMENT                         4.      Landlord shall pay up to a maximum of
                        $1,666,833.00 toward the cost of the Work ("LANDLORD'S
                        CONTRIBUTION"). Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional
                        rent under the Lease, all cost of the Work in excess of
                        Landlord's Contribution (such excess being referred to
                        as "TENANT'S CONTRIBUTION"). If the cost of the Work is
                        less than Landlord's Contribution, Tenant shall be
                        entitled to a credit against Base Rent next becoming due
                        under the Lease until fully applied in the amount of
                        such unused amounts or Tenant may elect to apply such
                        unused amounts against costs and expenses incurred by
                        Tenant in connection with the purchase and installation
                        of Tenant's Signage. Prior to commencing the Work,
                        Landlord will submit to Tenant a written estimate of the
                        cost of the Work, which estimate shall include cost of
                        all labor and materials and insurance premiums charged
                        by contractors. Tenant agrees, within five (5) business
                        days after submission of such estimate of costs, to
                        execute and deliver to Landlord, in the form then in use
                        by Landlord, an authorization to proceed with the Work
                        and that portion of the Work to be paid for by Tenant,
                        if any, and Tenant shall at the same time pay to
                        Landlord the amount set forth in Landlord's estimate as
                        Tenant's Contribution. No Work shall be commenced until
                        Tenant has fully complied with the preceding portions of
                        this Paragraph 4.

SUBSTANTIAL
COMPLETION                      5.      At such time as Landlord considers the
                        Work to be substantially completed, Landlord or
                        Landlord's architect will schedule a walk-through of the
                        Building with Tenant or Tenant's representative. During
                        such walk-through, Landlord or Landlord's architect
                        along with Tenant or Tenant's representative will
                        prepare a list of minor finish-out and punchlist items
                        to be completed. The Work being performed by Landlord
                        (which for purposes of determining substantial
                        completion may exclude, at Landlord's election, any
                        Additional Work) shall be considered "substantially
                        completed" for all purposes under this Workletter
                        Agreement and the Lease when (i) Landlord's architect
                        certifies that the Work is substantially complete, (ii)
                        Brentwood, Tennessee, issues a certificate of occupancy
                        for the Building, or (iii) Tenant first takes occupancy
                        of the Building, whichever first occurs.

TENANT
DELAY                           6.      There shall be no extension of the
                        Commencement Date of the term of the Lease if the Work
                        has not been substantially completed by reason of any
                        delay caused by Tenant ("TENANT DELAY"), including
                        without limitation, any delay arising as a result of:

                                (a)     the failure of Tenant to furnish
                        approved Working

                                       A-2
<PAGE>

                        Drawings to Landlord on or before February 23, 2004;

                                (b)     Tenant's requirements for special work
                        or materials finishes, or installations other then as
                        shown on Tenant's Space Plan;

                                (c)     the performance of any other work in the
                        Building by any person, firm or corporation employed by
                        or on behalf of Tenant, or any failure to complete or
                        delay in completion of such work; or

                                (d)     any other act or omission of Tenant.

ADDITIONAL
WORK                            7.      Upon Tenant's request and submission by
                        Tenant (at Tenant's sole cost and expense) of the
                        necessary information, and/or plans and specifications
                        for work other than the Work (the "Additional Work"),
                        Landlord may, at its election, perform the Additional
                        Work, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Prior to
                        commencing any Additional Work requested by Tenant,
                        Landlord shall submit to Tenant a written statement of
                        the cost of such Additional Work, which cost shall
                        include the cost of all labor and materials, insurance
                        premiums charged by contractors and a proposed Tenant
                        Extra Order (the "TEO") for Additional Work in the
                        standard form then in use by Landlord. If Tenant shall
                        fail to enter into said TEO within three (3) days after
                        Tenant's receipt thereof, Landlord shall proceed to do
                        only the Work specified in the Working Drawings. Tenant
                        agrees to pay to Landlord, concurrently with its
                        execution of the TEO, the entire cost of the Additional
                        Work as shown in the statement delivered by Landlord.

TENANT'S SECURITY
SYSTEM                          8.      Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have
                        the right to install security systems in the Building.
                        Such installation shall be subject to the terms and
                        conditions of the Lease, including, without limitation,
                        the terms and conditions of Section 9 of the Lease. Upon
                        completion of installation of such security system and
                        delivery to Landlord of appropriate lien waivers and
                        other reasonable evidence of completion and payment,
                        Landlord shall reimburse Tenant up to $15,000.00 for
                        costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with
                        installation of such security system. Said contribution
                        from Landlord shall be in addition to Landlord's
                        Contribution provided above. Tenant shall be responsible
                        for operation and maintenance of such security system.
                        Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall remove such
                        security system from the Building and repair any damage
                        caused by such security system or its removal upon the
                        expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ADDITIONAL PARKING              9.      Subject to the terms and conditions of
                        the Lease, including, without limitation, the terms and
                        conditions of Section 9 of the Lease, and specifically
                        subject to Tenant's compliance with all applicable laws,
                        Tenant shall have the right to construct additional
                        surface parking for the Building.

PROVISIONS              Section 25.N. of the Lease as well as  all other terms
INCORPORATED            and provisions of the Lease, insofar as they are
