Operating Costs, and in the event that the amount which Tenant has paid to
Landlord on account of the estimated Operating Costs is less than his share of
such actual Operating Costs, Tenant shall pay such difference to Landlord on the
next rent payment date. In the event that Tenant has paid to Landlord more than
his share of such actual Operating Costs, the amount of such difference shall be
credited against Tenant's payments of Operating Costs next due or if such a
period is at the end of the Lease term the amount of any overpayment shall be
promptly refunded to Tenant.

         C.       Failure by Landlord to provide Tenant with a statement by
April 1st of each year shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to
collect Tenant's share of Operating Costs or estimates for a particular calendar
year Landlord's right to charge Tenant for such expenses in subsequent years is
not waived.

         5.03     Taxes

         A.       "Real Project Taxes" are: (I) any fee, license fee, license
tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax levy, charge, assessment,
penalty or tax imposed by any taxing authority against the Project; (ii) any tax
or fee on Landlord's right to receive, or the receipt of, rent or income from
the Project or against Landlord's business of leasing the Project, (iii) any tax
or charge for fire protection, streets, sidewalks, road maintenance, refuse or
other services provided to the Project by any governmental agency; (iv) any tax
imposed upon this transaction, or based upon a re-assessment of the Project due
to a change in ownership or transfer of all of part or Landlord's interest in
the Project; (v) any charge or fee replacing, substituting for, or in addition
to any tax previously included within the definition of real

                                      -3-

<PAGE>
property tax; and (vi) the Landlord's cost of any tax protest relating to any of
the above. Real Project Taxes do not, however, include Landlord's federal or
state income, franchise, inheritance or estate taxes.

         B.       Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Share of
the Real Project Taxes as indicated in 1.09. Such payment shall be paid by
Tenant annually upon being invoiced for such taxes in addition to the monthly
payment of Base Monthly Rent. Tenant shall, if Landlord so elects, pay to
Landlord on a monthly basis, in advance, the amount which Landlord reasonably
estimates to be Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Real Project Taxes. In the
event of such election by Landlord, Landlord shall periodically determine
Tenant's share of the actual Real Project Taxes, and in the event that the
amount which Tenant has paid to Landlord on account of the Real Project Taxes is
less than his share of such actual Real Project Taxes, Tenant shall pay such
difference to Landlord on the next rent payment date. In the event that Tenant
has paid to Landlord more than his share of such actual Real Project Taxes, the
amount of such difference shall be credited against Tenant's payment of Real
Project Taxes next due. If the Lease term is expired then Landlord shall
promptly refund any overpayment to Tenant.

         C.       Personal Property Taxes: Tenant will pay all taxes charged
against trade fixtures, furnishing, equipment or any other personal property
belonging to Tenant. Tenant will have personal property taxes billed separately
from the Project. If any of Tenant's personal property is taxed with the
Project, Tenant will pay Landlord the taxes for the personal property upon
demand by Landlord.

         5.04     Based on Tenant's Proportionate Share defined in 1.09, Tenant
agrees to pay as Additional Rent to Landlord its share of any parking charges,
utility surcharges, occupancy taxes, or any other costs resulting from the
statutes or regulations, or interpretations thereof, enacted by any governmental
authority in connection with the use or occupancy of the Project or the parking
facilities serving the Project, or any part thereof.

         5.05     Landlord by completing this paragraph may elect to have Tenant
pay a monthly estimate of the Additional Rent due from Tenant of 5.5 cents per
square foot, i.e. TWO THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN AND 50/100
($2,887.50). Landlord shall make adjustments to this estimate based upon actual
costs and projected future costs. Landlord shall periodically determine the
balance between actual Additional Rent and Additional Rent paid by Tenant and
make adjustments in accordance with 5.02 and 5.03 above.

6.       SECURITY DEPOSIT

         6.01     If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this
Lease, Landlord may retain, use or apply all or any part of the Security Deposit
to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage suffered by Tenant's default
including but not limited to, the payment of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent
or other rental sums due, and for payment of amounts Landlord is obligated to
spend by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion is so retained, used or
applied, Tenant, upon demand, will deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to
restore the deposit to its original amount, as adjusted per 3.02, except as
otherwise provided by law. Landlord will not be required to keep the Security
Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant will not be entitled to
interest on it. If Tenant fully and faithfully performs every provision of this
Lease, the Security Deposit or a balance thereof will be returned to Tenant
within 30 days after the expiration of this Lease or any renewals of this Lease.
In no event will Tenant have the right to apply any part of the Security Deposit
to any rents payable under this Lease.

Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant will comply with all laws, ordinances,
orders and regulations affecting the Premises. Tenant will not perform any act
or carry on any practices that may injure the Project or the Premises or be a
nuisance or menace, or disturb the quiet enjoyment of other lessees in the
Project including but not limited to equipment which causes vibration, use or

Tenant's sole expense, will maintain a policy of standard fire and extended
coverage insurance with "all risk" coverage on all Tenant's improvements and

coverage at each anniversary, and prior to the expiration of any current
policies; however, in no event will Tenant be allowed to occupy the Premises
before providing adequate and acceptable proof of insurance as stated above.
Tenant's failure to provide evidence of this coverage to Landlord may, in
Landlord's sole discretion, constitute a default under this Lease.

payment of the deductible for such insurance to the extent such deductible is
greater than that applicable to other buildings in Landlord's portfolio located

this Lease, to place upon the Premises any usual or ordinary "to let" or "to
lease" signs. Tenant will not install a new or additional lock or any bolt on
any door of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
will not be unreasonably withheld. If Landlord gives its consent, such work
shall be undertaken by a locksmith approved by Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost.
Landlord retains the right to charge Tenant for restoring any altered doors to
their condition prior to the installation of the new or additional locks.

16.      ABANDONMENT

         16.01    Tenant will not vacate or abandon the Premises, which shall be
deemed to occur any time during the Lease Term if Tenant does not conduct
business for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive days and/or leaves the
Premises unoccupied for any period of time. If Tenant abandons, vacates or
surrenders the Premises, or is dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any
personal property belonging to Tenant left in or about the Premises will, at the
option of Landlord be deemed abandoned and may be disposed of by Landlord in the
manner provided for by the laws of the state in which the Premises are located.

17.      DESTRUCTION

         17.01    In the case of total destruction of the Premises, or any
portion thereof substantially interfering with Tenant's use of the Premises,
whether by fire or other casualty, not caused by the fault or negligence of
Tenant, its agents, employees, servants, contractors, subtenants, licensees,
customers or business invitees, this Lease shall terminate except as herein
provided. If Landlord notifies Tenant in writing within forty-five (45) days of
such destruction of Landlord's election to repair said damage, and if Landlord
proceeds to and does repair such damage with reasonable dispatch, this Lease
shall not terminate, but shall continue in full force and effect, except that
Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in the Base Monthly Rent in an amount
equal to that proportion of the Base Monthly Rent which the number of square
feet of floor space in the unusable portion bears to the total number of square
feet of floor space in the Premises. Said reduction shall be prorated so that
the rent shall only be reduced for those days any given area is actually
unusable. In determining what constitutes reasonable dispatch, consideration
shall be given to delays caused by labor dispute, civil commotion, war, warlike
operations, invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power,
sabotage, governmental regulations or control, fire or other casualty, inability
to obtain any materials or services, acts of God and other causes beyond
Landlord's control. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 17 and
if Tenant is not in default hereunder, rent shall be prorated as of the date of
termination, any security deposited with Landlord shall be returned to Tenant,
less any reasonable offsets and all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease
and terminate.

         17.02.   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in the event the
Premises, or any portion thereof, shall be damaged by fire or other casualty due
to the fault or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, servants,
contractors, subtenants, licensees, customers or business invitees, then,
without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of Landlord, this Lease shall
not terminate, the damage shall be repaired at Tenant's cost, and there shall be
no apportionment or abatement of any rent.

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

         17.03.   In the event of any damage not limited to, or not including,
the Premises, such that the building of which the Premises is a part is damaged
to the extent of twenty-five (25%) percent or more of the cost of replacement,
or the buildings (taken in the aggregate) of the Project owned by Landlord shall
be damaged to the extent of more than twenty-five (25%) of the aggregate cost
of replacement. Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease upon giving notice of
such election in writing to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the occurrence
of the event causing the damage.

         17.04.   The provisions of this Section 17 with respect to Landlord
shall be limited to such repair as is necessary to place the Premises in the
condition specified for Landlord's work by Exhibit B (if applicable) and when
placed in such condition the Leased Property shall be deemed restored and
rendered tenantable promptly following which time Tenant, at Tenant's expense
shall perform Tenant's work required by Exhibit B (if applicable) and Tenant
shall also repair or replace its stock in trade, fixtures, furniture,
furnishings, floor coverings and equipment, and if Tenant has closed, Tenant
shall promptly reopen for business.

         17.05.   All insurance proceeds payable under any fire and/or rental
insurance maintained by Landlord shall be payable solely to Landlord and Tenant
shall have no interest therein. Tenant shall in no case be entitled to
compensation for damages on account of any annoyance or inconvenience in making
repairs under any provision of this Lease. Except to the extent provided for in
this Section 17, neither the rent payable by Tenant nor any of Tenant's other
obligations under any provision of this Lease shall be affected by any damage to
or destruction of the Premises or any portion thereof by any cause whatsoever.

         18.      ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND TRANSFERS OF OWNERSHIP

         18.01    Tenant will not, without Landlord's prior written consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld subject to the provisions of this
Article 18., assign, sell, mortgage, encumber, convey or otherwise transfer all
or any part of Tenant's leasehold estate, or permit the Premises to be occupied
by anyone other than Tenant and Tenant's employees or sublet the premises or any
portion thereof (collectively called "Transfer"). Tenant must supply Landlord
with any and all documents deemed necessary by Landlord to evaluate any proposed
Transfer at least sixty (60) days in advance of Tenant's proposed Transfer date.

         18.02    Landlord need not consent to any Transfer for reasons
including, but not limited to, whether or not: (a) in the reasonable judgment of
Landlord the transferee is of a character or is engaged in a business which is
not in keeping with the standard of Landlord for the Project; (b) in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord any purpose for which the transferee intends to
use the Premises is not in keeping with the standards of Landlord for the
Project; provided in no event may any purpose for which transferee intends to
use the Premises be in violation of this Lease; (c) the portion of the Premises
subject to the transfer is not regular in shape with appropriate means of
entering and exiting, including adherence to any local, county or other
governmental codes, or is not otherwise suitable for the normal purposes
associated with such a Transfer; or (d) Tenant is in default under this Lease or
any other Lease with Landlord.

         18.03    In the event Landlord consents to a Transfer, Tenant will pay
Landlord seventy percent (70%) of the excess, if any, of the rent and other
charges reserved in the Transfer over the allocable portion of the rent and
other charges hereunder for that portion of the Premises subject to the
Transfer. For the purpose of this section, the rent reserved in the Transfer
will be deemed to include any lump sum payment or other consideration given to
Tenant in consideration for the Transfer. Tenant will pay or cause the
transferee to pay to Landlord this additional rent together with the monthly
installments of rent due.

         18.04    Any consent to any Transfer which may be given by Landlord, or
the acceptance of any rent, charges or other consideration by Landlord from
Tenant or any third party, will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of the
provisions of this Lease or a release of Tenant from the full performance by it
of the covenants stated herein; and any consent given by Landlord to any
Transfer will not relieve Tenant (or any transferee of Tenant) from the above
requirements for obtaining the written consent of Landlord to any subsequent
Transfer.

         18.05    If a default under this Lease should occur while the Premises
or any part of the Premises are assigned, sublet or otherwise transferred,
Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided for within this Lease or by
law, may at its option collect directly from the transferee all rent or other
consideration becoming due to Tenant under the Transfer and apply these monies
against any sums due to Landlord by Tenant; and Tenant authorizes and directs
any transferee to make payments of rent or other consideration direct to
Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord. No direct collection by Landlord
from any transferee should be construed to constitute a novation or a release of
Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant from the further performance of its
obligations in connection with this Lease.

         18.06    If Tenant is a corporation or a partnership, the issuances of
any additional stock or equity interest and/or the transfer, assignment or
hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation or partnership in the
aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%) of such interests, as the same may be
constituted as of the date of this lease, whether directly or indirectly, shall
be deemed to be a Transfer within the meaning of this Section 18.

         18.07    In the event Tenant requests Landlord's consent to an
Assignment, Sub-Let or Transfer of Tenant's interest in the leased Premises,
Tenant agrees to pay Landlord all reasonable attorney's fees incurred by
Landlord for any legal services for document review of any and all documents
deemed necessary by Landlord and Tenant to Assign, Sub-let or Transfer Tenant's
interest in the leased Premises.

                  18.08    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Article 18., and provided that Tenant complies with all of the provisions of
this Article 18., Landlord hereby consents to the assignment of Tenant's entire
interest in the Lease in connection with any sale of stock, merger, or
reorganization so long as the surviving or controlling entity or shareholder
has a net worth at least equal to that of Tenant's as of the Lease Commencement
Date, specifically assumes all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and
otherwise agrees to comply with the terms and condition of this Lease
("Permitted Transfer"). Concurrently with any Permitted Transfer, Tenant must
also make a "Permitted Transfer" under

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

              the Adjustment Premises Lease as defined in Paragraph 19.01F
              below. No such Permitted Transfer shall release or otherwise
              affect Tenant's or any guarantor's obligations under this Lease,
              or constitute an express or implied consent to any other Transfer
              of all or any part of Tenant's leasehold estate, or the occupation
              of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant's employees.

              19. BREACH BY TENANT

                      19.01 Tenant will be in breach of this Lease if at any
              time during the term of this Lease (and regardless of the pendency
              of any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency or
              other proceedings in law, in equity or before any administrative
              tribunal which have or might have the effect of preventing Tenant
              from complying with the terms of this Lease):

                      A. Tenant fails to make payment of any installment of Base
              Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, or of any other sum herein
              specified to be paid by Tenant, within ten (10) days of the due
              date thereof; or

                      B. Tenant fails to observe or perform any of its other
              covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, and such failure
              is not cured within ten (10) days after Landlord's written notice
              to Tenant of such failure; provided, however, that if the nature
              of Tenant's obligation is such that more than ten (10) days are
              required for performance, then Tenant will not be in breach if
              Tenant commences performance within such 10 day period and
              thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion; or

                      C. Tenant, Tenant's assignee, subtenant, guarantor, or
              occupant of the Premises becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in
              fraud of its creditors, makes a transfer for the benefit of its
              creditors, is the subject of a bankruptcy petition, is adjudged
              bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant, a
              receiver, trustee, or custodian is appointed for all or
              substantially all of Tenant's assets, fails to pay its debts as
              they become due, convenes a meeting of all or a portion of its
              creditors, or performs any acts of bankruptcy or insolvency,
              including the selling of its assets to pay creditors; or

                      D. Tenant has abandoned the Premises as defined in
              paragraph 16 above.

                      E. Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises within
              thirty (30) days of receiving notice by Landlord that the Premises
              are available.

                      F. Tenant breaches or otherwise defaults under the lease
              between Landlord and Tenant of the same date as this Lease for the
              lease of the approximately two hundred twenty-three thousand
              (223,000) square foot portion of the Building (Suite 101) adjacent
              to the Premises (the "Adjacent Premises Lease").

20. REMEDIES OF LANDLORD

                      20.01 Nothing contained herein shall constitute a
waiver of Landlord's right to recover damages by reason of Landlord's efforts
to mitigate the damage to it by Tenant's default; nor shall anything in this
Section adversely affect Landlord's right, as in this Lease elsewhere provided,
to indemnification against liability for injury or damages to persons or
property occurring prior to a termination of this Lease.

                      20.02 All cure periods provided herein shall run
concurrently with any periods provided by law.

                      20.03 In the event of default, as designated herein above,
in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for herein or at law or in
equity, Landlord, at its sole option, shall have the following rights:

                      A. The right to declare the term of this Lease ended and
reenter the Premises and take possession thereof, and to terminate all of the
rights of Tenant in and to the Premises.

                      B. The right, without declaring the term of this Lease
ended, to reenter the Premises and to occupy the same, or any portion there of,
for and on account of the Tenant as hereinafter provided, and Tenant shall be
liable for and pay to Landlord on demand all such expenses as Landlord may have
paid, assumed or incurred in recovering possession of the Premises, including
costs, expenses, attorney's fees and expenditures placing the same in good
order, or preparing or altering the same for reletting, and all other expenses,
commissions and charges paid by the Landlord in connection with reletting the
Premises. Any such reletting may be for the remainder of the term of this Lease
or for a longer or shorter period. Such reletting shall be for such rent and on
such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate. Landlord may execute any lease made pursuant to the terms hereof
either in the Landlord's own name or assume Tenant's interest in any existing
subleases to any tenant of the Premises, as Landlord may see fit, and Tenant
shall have no right or authority whatsoever to collect any rent from such
tenants, subtenants, of the Premises. In any case, and whether or not the
Premises or any part thereof is relet, Tenant, until the end of the Lease term
shall be liable to Landlord for an amount equal to the amount due as Rent
hereunder, less net proceeds, if any of any reletting effected for the
account of Tenant. Landlord reserves the right to bring such actions for the
recovery or any deficits remaining unpaid by the Tenant to the Landlord
hereunder as Landlord may deem advisable from time to time without being
obligated to await the end of the term of the Lease. Commencement of
maintenance of one or more actions by the Landlord in this connection shall not
bar the Landlord from bringing any subsequent actions for further accruals. In
no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord over
and above that which Tenant is obligated to pay hereunder; or

                      C. The right, even though it may have relet all or any
portion of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of subsection B.
above, to thereafter at any time elect to terminate this Lease for such previous
default on the part of the Tenant, and to terminate all the rights of Tenant in
and to the Premises.

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

                      20.04 Pursuant to the rights of re-entry provided above.
Landlord may (in accordance with its rights and obligations under Nevada law)
remove all persons from the Premises and may, but shall not be obligated to.
remove all property therefrom, and may, but shall not be obligated to, enforce
any rights Landlord may have against said property or store the same in any
public or private warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of
Tenant or the owner or owners thereof. Tenant agrees to hold Landlord free and
harmless from any liability whatsoever for the removal and/or storage of any
such property, whether of Tenant or any third party whomsoever, except to the
extent caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord.
Such action by the Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease.

                      20.05 If Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the
Premises before the end of the term, or if its right of possession is terminated
by Landlord because of Tenant's breach of this Lease, then this Lease may be
terminated by Landlord at its option. On such Termination Landlord may recover
from Tenant, in addition to the remedies permitted at law:

                      A. The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid Base
Monthly Rents and Additional Rents which had been earned at the time this Lease
is terminated.

                      B. The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by
which the unpaid Base Monthly Rents and Additional Rents which would have been
earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award
exceeds the amount of the loss of rents that Tenant proves could be reasonably
avoided;

                      C. The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by
which the unpaid Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rents for the balance of the
Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for
such period as the Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and

                      D. Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to
compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's breach of
its obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of events
would be likely to result therefrom. The detriment proximately caused by
Tenant's breach will include, without limitation, (I) expenses for cleaning,
repairing or restoring the Premises, (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or
otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting the Premises,
(iii) brokers' fees and commissions, advertising costs and other expenses of
reletting the Premises, (iv) costs of carrying the Premises such as taxes,
insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions, (v) expenses of
retaking possession of the Premises, (vi) reasonable attorney's fees and court
costs, (vii) any unearned brokerage commissions paid in connection with this
Lease, (viii) reimbursement of any previously waived Base Rent, Additional
Rent, free rent or reduced rental rate, and (ix) any concession made or paid by
Landlord to the benefit of Tenant in consideration of this Lease including, but
not limited to, any moving allowances, contributions or payments by Landlord
for tenant improvements or build-out allowances or assumptions by Landlord of
any of the Tenant's previous lease obligations.

                      20.06 In any action brought by the Landlord to enforce any
of its rights under or arising from this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to
receive its costs and legal expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees,
whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment

                      20.07 The waiver by Landlord of any breach or default of
Tenant hereunder shall not be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach of
the same or any other term. Acceptance of any Rent payment shall not be
construed to be a waiver of the Landlord of any preceding breach of the Tenant.

                      20.08 All past due amounts owed by Tenant under the terms
of this Lease shall bear interest at twelve percent per annum unless otherwise
stated.

21. SURRENDER OF LEASE NOT MERGER

                      21.01 The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by
Tenant, or mutual cancellation thereof, will not work a merger and will, at the
option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing transfers, or may, at the
option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all of such
transfers.

22. ATTORNEYS FEES/COLLECTION CHARGES

                      22.01 In the event of any legal action or proceeding
between the parties hereto, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of the
prevailing party in any such action or proceeding will be added to the judgment
therein. Should Landlord be named as defendant in any suit brought against
Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant's occupancy hereunder, Tenant
will pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including
reasonable attorney's fees except for any portion of costs, expenses, and
attorneys' fees attributable to the negligence or intentional misconduct of
Landlord.

                      22.02 If Landlord utilizes the services of any attorney
at law for the purpose of collecting any rent due and unpaid by Tenant after
five (5) days written notice to Tenant of such nonpayment of rent or in
connection with any other breach of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant agrees to pay
Landlord reasonable attorneys' fees as determined by Landlord for such services,
regardless of the fact that no legal action may be commenced or filed by
Landlord.

23. CONDEMNATION

                      23.01 If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the square
footage of the Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any
lawful government power or authority, by exercise of the right of appropriation,
reverse condemnation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such
taking, and if the remaining portion of the Premises will not be reasonably
adequate for the operation of Tenant's business after Landlord completes such
repairs

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

or alterations as Landlord elects to make, either Tenant or the Landlord may at
its option terminate this Lease by notifying the other party hereto of such
election in writing within twenty (20) days after such taking. Tenant will not
because of such taking assert any claim against the Landlord or the taking
authority for any compensation because of such taking, and Landlord will be
entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any
estate of interest of Tenant. If less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Premises is taken, Landlord at its option may terminate this Lease. If Landlord
does not so elect, Landlord will promptly proceed to restore the Premises to
substantially its same condition prior to such partial taking, allowing for any
reasonable effects of such taking, and a proportionate allowance based on the
loss of square footage will be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the
time during which, and to the part of the Premises, which, Tenant is deprived on
account of such taking and restoration.

24. RULES AND REGULATIONS

                      24.01 Tenant will faithfully observe and comply with any
Rules and Regulations reasonably promulgated by Landlord for the Project and
Landlord reserves the right to reasonably modify and amend them as it deems
necessary. Landlord will not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance by
any other Tenant or occupant of the Project of any of said Rules and
Regulations.

                      24.02 In the event that Tenant fails to cure any
violations of such Rules and Regulations following ten (10) days written notice
by Landlord, such failure to cure shall be deemed a material breach of this
Lease by Tenant.

25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

                      25.01 Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord, within
ten (10) business days of Landlords written demand, a statement in writing
certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect, and that the Base
Monthly Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification) and
the date to which rent and other charges are paid, if any, and acknowledging
that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of
Landlord hereunder or specifying such defaults if they are claimed and such
other matters as Landlord may reasonably request. Any such statement may be
conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the
Premises. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that (1) this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (2) there are no uncured
defaults in Landlord's performance and (3) not more than one (1) month's rents
has been paid in advance.

26. SALE BY LANDLORD

                      26.01 In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of
the Project the same shall operate to release Landlord from any liability upon
any of the covenants or conditions, expressed or implied, herein contained in
favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to the
responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease so
long as such successor agrees to assume Landlord's obligations and liabilities
under this Lease. This Lease will not be affected by any such sale, and Tenant
agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee.

27. NOTICES

                      27.01 All notices, statements, demands, requests,
consents, approvals, authorizations, offers, agreements, appointments, or
designations under this Lease by either party to the other will be in writing
and will be considered sufficiently given and served upon the other party if
sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
delivered personally, or by a national overnight delivery service and addressed
as indicated in 1.03 and 1.04.

28. WAIVER

                      28.01 The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more
cases upon the strict performance of any term, covenant or condition of the
Lease will not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or
any other covenant, term or condition; nor shall any delay or omission by
Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach of this Lease be deemed a waiver by
Landlord of its remedies or rights with respect to such a breach.

29. HOLDOVER

                      29.01 If Tenant remains in the Premises after the Lease
Expiration date with the consent of the Landlord and has not given prior written
notice to Landlord, such continuance of possession by Tenant will be deemed to
be a month-to-month tenancy at the sufferance of Landlord terminable on thirty
(30) day notice at any time by either party. All provisions of this Lease,
except those pertaining to term and rent, will apply to the month-to-month
tenancy. Tenant will pay a new Base Monthly Rent in an amount equal to 125% of
the base monthly rent payable for the last full calendar month during the
regular term of this Lease.

30. DEFAULT OF LANDLORD/LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

                      30.01 In the event of any default by Landlord hereunder,
Tenant agrees to give notice of such default in accordance with Section 27.01 to
Landlord at Landlord's Notice Address as stated in 1.04 and to offer Landlord
reasonable opportunity to cure the default. In the event of any actual or
alleged failure, breach or default hereunder Landlord, Tenant's sole and
exclusive remedy will be against Landlord's interest in the Project, and
Landlord, its directors, officers, employees and any partner of Landlord will
not be sued, be subject to service or process, or have a judgement obtained
against him in connection with any alleged breach or default, and no writ of
execution will be levied against the assets of any partner, shareholder or

31. SUBORDINATION

                      31.01 Without the necessity of any additional document
being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at
the election of Landlord or any mortgagee with a lien on the Project or any
ground lessor with respect to the Project, this Lease will be subject and
subordinate at all times to (a) all ground leases or underlying leases which may
now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Project, and (b) the lien of
any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed in
any amount for which the Project, ground leases or underlying leases, or
Landlord's interest or estate in any of said items is specified as security. In
the event that any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or
any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of
foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant will, notwithstanding any
subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to
Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest. Tenant covenants and
agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord any document or instrument reasonably
requested by Landlord or its ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under a
deed of trust evidencing such subordination of this Lease with respect to any
such ground lease or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or deed
of trust. Tenant hereby agrees that the failure to execute and deliver any such
document to Landlord within fourteen (14) days of Landlord's request therefor
shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.

32. DEPOSIT AGREEMENT

                      32.01 Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Landlord will
be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant's good faith rent and the
Security Deposit check(s) accompanying this Lease. It is further agreed and
understood that such action will not guarantee acceptance of this Lease by
Landlord, but, in the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, such deposits
will be promptly refunded in full to Tenant. This Lease will be effective only
after Tenant has received a copy fully executed by both Landlord and Tenant.

33. GOVERNING LAW

                      33.01 This Lease is governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, and venue of any suit will be
in the county where the Premises are located unless the Premises are not located
in Nevada in which case the venue will be Washoe County in the State of Nevada.

34. NEGOTIATED TERMS

                      34.01 This Lease is the result of the negotiations of the
parties and has been agreed to by both Landlord and Tenant after prolonged
discussion.

35. SEVERABILITY

                      35.01 If any provision of this Lease is found to be
unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

36. BROKERS

                      36.01 Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any
broker or agent in connection with this Lease, except David L. Schuster with
Grubb & Ellis and covenants to pay, hold harmless and indemnify Landlord from
and against any and all cost, expense or liability for any compensation,
commissions and charges claimed by any broker or agent, other than any
identified above, with respect to this Lease or its negotiation.

37. QUIET POSSESSION

                      37.01 Tenant, upon paying the rentals and other payments
herein required from Tenant, and upon Tenant's performance of all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease on its part to be kept and performed, may
quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Term of this Lease
without disturbance from Landlord or from any other person claiming through
Landlord.

38. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                      38.01 Whenever the singular number is used in this Lease
and when required by the context, the same will include the plural, and the
masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders, and the word
"person" will include corporation, firm, partnership, or association. If there
is more than one Tenant, the obligations imposed upon Tenant under this Lease
will be joint and several.

                      38.02 The headings or titles to paragraphs of this Lease
are not a part of this Lease and will have no effect upon the construction or
interpretation of any part of this Lease.

                      38.03 This instrument contains all of the agreements and
conditions made between the parties to this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that
neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents have made any representation or warranty
as to the suitability of the Premises to the conduct of Tenant's business. Any
agreements, warranties or representations not expressly contained herein will in
no way bind either Landlord or Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant expressly
waive all claims for damages by reason of any statement, representation,

agreements hereunder, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees not to disclose any
terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease to any other party without the
prior written consent of Landlord.

                      38.09 Tenant agrees it will provide to Landlord such
financial information as Landlord may reasonably request for the purpose of
obtaining construction and/or permanent financing for the Premises.

                      38.10 If Tenant shall request Landlord's consent and
Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled
to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent; Tenant's sole
remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction, and such
remedy shall be available only in those cases where Landlord has expressly
agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold its consent or where as a matter
of law Landlord may not unreasonably withhold its consent.

                      38.11 Whenever a day is appointed herein on which, or a
period of time is appointed in which, either party is required to do or complete
any act, matter or thing, the time for the doing or completion thereof shall be
extended by a period of time equal to the number of days on or during which such
party is prevented from, or is reasonably interfered with, the doing or
completion of such act, matter or thing because of labor disputes, civil
commotion, war, warlike operation, sabotage, governmental regulations or
control, fire or other casualty, inability to obtain materials, or to obtain
fuel or energy, weather or other acts of God, or other causes beyond such
party's reasonable control (financial inability excepted); provided, however,

Rent or charge required of Tenant hereunder.

permitted on the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. The
Premises shall not be used for any "adult bookstore" or "adult motion picture
theater" as said terms are defined in NRS 278.0221, or any similar use,
notwithstanding any local zoning codes or ordinances or any other provisions of
law to the contrary permitting such use.

39. CHANGE ORDERS. In the event Tenant requests and/or approves changes in the
scope the work being provided by or through Landlord Tenant agrees to pay all
the direct and indirect costs of additional work at the time it gives such
approval. In the event that the aggregate cost of additional work provided under
this Lease is ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) or more, or in excess of two
months rent, whichever is less, then Landlord may accept payment of one half of
the cost of additional work at the time of approval of said change order by the
Tenant, and payment of the balance to be paid at the time the additional work is
substantially completed.

40. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

                      40.01 Special  provisions of this Lease number 41 and
Exhibits "A", "B", "C", "D", "F, "G" and "H" are attached hereto and made a part
hereof. If none, so state in the following space:.

41.     OPTIONS TO EXTEND LEASE TERM

                      41.01 Tenant is hereby granted two (2) options (each, an
"Extension Option," and collectively, the "Extension Options,") to extend the
Lease Term for an additional term of five (5) years (each, an "Extension Term"
and collectively, the "Extension Terms") each beginning on the day after
expiration of the Initial Lease Term or the first Extension Term, as the case
may be, and expiring on the date five (5) years thereafter (unless terminated
sooner pursuant to any other terms or provisions of the Lease), on all of the
same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, but at an adjusted Base
Monthly Rent as set forth in Section 41.02 below (and without any additional
option to extend the Lease Term after the expiration of the second Extension
Term). The Extension Options may be exercised by Tenant only by delivery of
written notice of such exercise (the "Extension Notice") to Landlord, which
Extension Notice must be received by Landlord at least one hundred eighty (180)
days before the expiration of the Initial Lease Term, or the first extension
Term, as applicable. If Tenant fails to timely deliver the Extension Notice, or
if this Lease is terminated pursuant to any of its other terms or provisions
prior to the expiration of the Initial Lease Term or the first Extension Term,
as the case may be, all remaining Extension Options shall lapse, and Tenant
shall have no right to extend or further extend the Lease Term. Each Extension
Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express conditions that (i) at the
time of delivery of Tenant's Extension Notice and at all times thereafter and
prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Term, Tenant shall not be
in default under this Lease, (ii) Tenant has not previously been in default
(whether or not such default has been timely cured) under this Lease on more
than three (3) occasions during the Lease Term, and (iii) Tenant has exercised
the concurrent "Extension Option" as defined in and provided under the Adjacent
Premises Lease. After exercise of each Extension Option by Tenant in accordance
with the foregoing provisions, Tenant's obligation to renew shall be irrevocable
by Tenant.

                      41.02 Base Monthly Rent during each thirty (30) month
period of each Extension Term shall be completed as follows. As used herein, the
term, "Extension Adjustment Month," shall mean the first (1st) and thirty-first
(31st) months of each Extension Term, the term, "Extension Comparison Index,"
shall mean the Index published and which is in effect the third month preceding
the commencement of the applicable Extension Adjustment Month, and the term,
"Beginning Index," shall mean the Index published which is in effect during the
fifty-seventh (57th) month of the Initial Lease Term.

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

 Base Monthly Rent for each thirty (30) month period during each Extension Term
 shall be the product of the Base Monthly Rent as specified in Section 1.07
 above (for months 61-84 of the Initial Lease Term) multiplied by a fraction,
 the numerator being the applicable Extension Comparison Index and the
 denominator being the Beginning Index. In no event, however, shall the Base
 Monthly Rent during any period of any Extension Term be less than the Base
 Monthly Rent due during the immediately preceding period of the Lease Term.
 Landlord will give Tenant notice of each increase by written invoice; however,
 failure of Landlord to give such notice shall not be construed as a waiver of
 the increase and any such increased amount shall accrue as rent. If after this
 Lease is executed, the Index is discontinued or revised during the Extension
 Term, Landlord reserved the right to use a conversion factor, formula or table
 as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or a different Index in
 order to obtain substantially the same result.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of
the day and year indicated by Landlord's execution date as written below.

        Individuals signing on behalf of a Tenant warrant that they have the
 authority to bind their principals. In the event that Tenant is a corporation,
 Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with the execution and delivery
 of this Lease, a certified copy of corporate resolutions adopted by Tenant
 authorizing said corporation to enter into and perform the Lease and
 authorizing the execution and delivery of the Lease on behalf of the
 corporation by the parties executing and delivering this Lease. THIS LEASE,
 WHETHER OR NOT EXECUTED BY TENANT, IS SUBJECT TO ACCEPTANCE AND EXECUTION BY
 LANDLORD, ACTING ITSELF OR BY ITS AGENT ACTING THROUGH ITS PRESIDENT, VICE
 PRESIDENT, OR ITS DIRECTOR OF LEASING AND MARKETING.

property to Tenant as Tenant requests and in consideration thereof Guarantor
hereby guarantees and agrees as follows:

         1.       Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the prompt
payment, discharge and performance of all the obligations, duties, liabilities,
and undertakings of Tenant under any note, application, financial statement, or
other instrument executed by Tenant or entered into between Tenant and Landlord
(including, without limiting the foregoing, the Lease between Landlord and
Tenant of even date (the "Lease"), together with the full payment of any and all
sums of money which are now or may hereafter become due by Tenant to Landlord,
whether by acceleration or otherwise. (Such obligations, duties, liabilities,
undertakings and indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord are hereafter referred to as
the "Obligations"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Guaranty
shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Lease. Without limiting the
foregoing, Tenant's Obligations shall include those under the Extension Term(s),
as such term is defined in this Lease.

         2.       Landlord may in its absolute discretion and without prejudice
to or in any way limiting or lessening the liability of Guarantor under this
Guaranty, and without further authorization from or notice to Guarantor (even
though Tenant's financial condition may have deteriorated since the date
hereof), enter into such leases and other agreements with Tenant as Landlord, in
its sole discretion, may elect, including renewals, modifications, or extensions
of any Obligations and any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations;
grant extensions of time or other indulgences; take or give up or modify, vary,
exchange, renew or abstain from performing or taking advantage of any security;
accept or make compositions, or other arrangements; discharge or release any
party or parties; realize on any security and otherwise deal with Tenant and
other parties, any security; or any leased property as Landlord may deem
expedient. Guarantor hereby consents to and waives notice of any substitution,
elimination or addition of any lease properly and no such event or the
amendment, modification, renewal or termination of any lease or any instrument
or agreement evidencing any Obligation shall release or discharge Guarantor from
its Obligations hereunder. Guarantor waives any defenses arising out of
disability or other defenses of Tenant, by reason of cessation or for any reason
whatsoever of the liability of Tenant.

         3.       This is a continuing Guaranty and covers all Obligations of
Tenant, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and where more than one
Tenant, the several Obligations of each as well as their joint Obligations,
including those incurred or to be incurred by Tenant under a commitment issued
by Landlord up to such time as Landlord shall have received notice in writing by
Guarantor at Landlord's address set forth in the Lease of even date herewith, to
make no further agreement on the security of this Guarantee. In giving this
Guarantee, Guarantor expressly excuses Landlord from any requirement of
disclosure by Landlord of any information it may now have or hereafter acquire
concerning Tenant's credit, collateral, character or financial condition.

         4.       This Guaranty covers any Obligations due or owing from time to
time and at any time from Tenant to Landlord, and no payments made by or on
behalf of Guarantor to

<PAGE>

Landlord shall be held to discharge or diminish the continuing liability of
Guarantor hereunder.

         5.       All debts and liabilities, present and future of Tenant to
Guarantor, or any of them, are hereby postponed to the Obligations of Tenant to
Landlord, and all moneys received by Guarantor or its representatives,
successors or assigns, shall be received as trustee for Landlord and shall be
paid over to Landlord, and Guarantor further agrees, upon any liquidation or
distribution of the assets of Tenant, to assign to Landlord upon its request ail
claims on account of all such debts and liabilities, to the end that Landlord
shall receive all dividends and payments on such debts and liabilities until
payment in full of all Obligations of Tenant to Landlord. This Guaranty shall
constitute such assignment in the event Guarantor shall fail or refuse to
execute and deliver such other or further assignment of such claims as Landlord
may request.

         6.       Guarantor's Obligations under this Guaranty are joint and
several and are independent of Tenant's Obligations. A separate action may be
brought against any other guarantors, Tenant, or all, regardless of whether any
other guarantor, Tenant, or all are joined in such action.

         7.       This Guaranty shall not be affected by Landlord's failure or
delay to enforce any of its rights. If Tenant defaults under the Lease, Landlord
can proceed immediately against Guarantor, Tenant, or all, any rights it has
under the Lease, or pursuant to applicable law. Guarantor hereby irrevocably
waives the right to require Landlord to (i) proceed against the Tenant, (ii)
proceed against or exhaust any security that Landlord holds from Tenant, or
(iii) pursue any other remedy in Landlord's power. Guarantor further irrevocably
waives any defense by reason of the disability of Tenant and any other defense
based on the termination of Tenant's liability from any cause.

         8.       Guarantor waives the right to participate in any security now
or hereafter held by Landlord. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for
performance, notices of default of Tenant under the Obligations, notices of
nonperformance, notices of protest and dishonor, and notice of acceptance of
this Guaranty and notice of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or
additional obligations.

         9.       The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by
(i) the release or discharge of Tenant in any receivership, bankruptcy, or other
proceeding, (ii) the impairment, limitation, or modification of the liability of
Tenant or the estate of Tenant in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the
enforcement of Tenant's liability under this Lease resulting from the operation
of any present or future provision of any federal or state bankruptcy or
insolvency law or other statute or from the decision of any court, (iii) the
rejection or disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceedings, (iv) the
assignment or other Transfer of the Lease by Landlord, (v) the Transfer,
including, without limitation, a Permitted Transfer, by Tenant, (vi) any
disability or other defense by Tenant, (vii) the cessation from any cause
whatsoever of the liability of Tenant, (viii) the exercise by Landlord of any of
its rights or remedies reserved under the Lease or by law, or (ix) the
termination of the Lease.

         10.      No assignment, sublease or other Transfer, or Permitted
Assignment of Tenant's interest in the Premises or Lease or any portion thereof
shall affect, terminate, or release Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty
unless expressly agreed in writing by Landlord.

         11.      Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees to deliver such
financial statements and estoppel and other certificates and documentation as
may be requested by Landlord and its successors for purposes of the sale,
financing, refinancing of the Lease, or the Premises or Project.

         12.      Where Tenant is a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, or other entity or association or a receiver, trust or other fiduciary,
Landlord is not to be concerned to see or inquire into the powers of Tenant or
its directors, officers, partners, members,

<PAGE>

managers, associates or other agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf,
Guarantor hereby representing that such powers exist, and agreements entered
into with Landlord in the professed exercise of such powers shall be deemed to
form part of the obligations guaranteed, even though the incurring of such
obligations be in excess of the powers of Tenant or of the directors, partners,
officers, members, managers, associates or other agents thereof, or shall be in
any way irregular or defective or informal.

         13.      Guarantor agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees, costs
and expenses which may be incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of this
Guaranty or any of the Obligations of Tenant or of Guarantor where Landlord
prevails.

         14.      This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Landlord, its
successors and assigns and shall bind the heirs, administrators, executors,
successors and assigns of Guarantor, and shall be construed as the joint and
several obligations of Guarantor where there is more than one.

         15.      This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Nevada. This Guaranty and all of the rights and obligations
hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Nevada in effect from time to time. The parties hereby agree that all
litigation resulting under this Guaranty shall be under the sole and exclusive
jurisdiction of the Second Judicial District Court in and for the County of
Washoe, State of Nevada, and the parties hereby submit to exclusive
jurisdiction, service of process, and venue thereunder.

         16.      This Guaranty is in addition to and not exclusive of the
guarantee of any other guarantor and of any and all prior guarantees by any
Guarantor of obligations of Tenant to Landlord.

         17.      This writing is intended by Guarantor as a final, complete and
exclusive expression of Guarantor's agreement. No course of dealings, course of
performance, or trade usage, and no parole evidence of any nature, shall be used
to supplement or modify any terms. There is no condition to the effectiveness of
this Guaranty.

         18.      Guarantor hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant
to Landlord that Guarantor is aware of and has read the Lease and understand
that their obligations as the Guarantor of the Lease may subject their assets to
liability.

         19.      Each individual executing this Guaranty on behalf of Guarantor
individually represents and warrants to Landlord (i) that he or she has the full
power and authority to legally bind Guarantor to the terms hereof, and (ii) this
Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action by
Guarantor.

         20.      Landlord acknowledges and agrees that, at such time as (1) a
Permitted Transfer occurs and (2) Guarantor provides (A) a substitute guaranty
from such persons and/or entities other than the transferee or any of its owners
or owners thereof with a combined net worth of not less than Seven Million, Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000) in a form acceptable to Landlord in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion (the "Substitute Guaranty"), or (B) an
irrevocable letter of credit in an amount not less than the then remaining total
unpaid balance of Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent due under the Lease for
the remaining Lease Term (including any unexercised Extension Terms(s))
complying with the following requirements (the "Letter of Credit") and provided
that there does not then exist any uncured default under the Lease, Landlord
shall execute a release of Guarantor's Obligations hereunder. The Letter of
Credit shall (i) be in the amount specified in the immediately preceding
sentence, (ii) state that Landlord is the sole beneficiary and that it can be
drawn at any time to cure an uncured financial default or otherwise to
compensate Landlord for any loss or damage suffered by any uncured default by
Tenant, without approval or other interference from Tenant or any other party,
(iii) have an expiration date not earlier than ninety (90) days after the Lease
expiration date (including any unexercised Extension Option(s)), (iv) be
nominated "irrevocable," (v) provide the place for presentation is Reno, Nevada,
(vi) be transferrable by Landlord, and

<PAGE>

(vii) include such other terms as are approved by Landlord in Landlord's
reasonable discretion. Until such time as Guarantor provides either the
Substitute Guaranty or the Letter of Credit and Landlord executes a written
release of Guarantor, and Landlord executes a written release of Guarantor's
Obligations, Guarantor's Obligations under this Guaranty shall not be affected.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of the Substitute Guaranty or Letter of Credit,
Landlord agrees to execute a written release of Guarantor's Obligations
hereunder.
