        conditions of this Agreement.

    B.  The nature and scope of Reseller's authorization, including any
        geographic, vertical market or other restrictions, are mainly detailed
        in the attached Agreement and Addenda. The Products covered by
        Reseller's authorization, including any discounts and commitment levels,
        are detailed in the attached Addenda, Product Exhibits and Product
        Categories. Other policies, procedures, terms and conditions applicable
        to this Agreement are contained in the OPM.

    C.  Reseller accepts appointment on these terms and conditions.

3.  STATUS CHANGE

    A.  if Reseller wishes to:

        1.   Change its name;

        2.   Add, close or change an HP-approved shipment, delivery or other
             HP-authorized location;

        3.   Undergo a merger, acquisition, consolidation or other
             reorganization with the result that any entity controls twenty-five
             percent (25%) or more of Reseller's capital stock or assets after
             such transaction, or assumes management of Reseller operations;
             then Reseller will notify HP in writing at least ten (10) working
             days prior to the intended date of change and provide HP all
             information and documents requested by HP for the purpose of
             evaluating such status change.

    B.   HP will promptly notify Reseller of its consent to the continuation of
         Reseller's authorization following such a change in status, provided
         that HP may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice in the
         event HP does not consent to such change. Pending HP's notification, HP
         will have no obligation to perform under this Agreement.

4.  RELATIONSHIP

    A. Reseller and HP are independent contractors for purposes of this
       Agreement. This Agreement does not establish a franchise, joint venture
       or partnership, or create any relationship of employer and employee,
       master and servant, or principal and agent between the parties.

    B. Neither party will have, nor represent that it has, any power, right, or
       authority to bind the other party, or to assume or create any obligation
       or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of the other party
       without such other party's express written consent. Reseller acknowledges
       that any commitment made by Reseller to its customers with respect to
       price, quantities, delivery, specifications, warranties, modifications,
       interfacing capability or suitability will be Reseller's sole
       responsibility, and Reseller will indemnify HP from liability for any
       such commitment by Reseller.

   C.  This Agreement applies only to the Products listed on the Product
       Exhibits, and the relationship between the parties is non-exclusive.
       Reseller acknowledges that HP may market other products, including
       products in competition with those listed on the Product Exhibits,
       without making them available to Reseller. HP acknowledges that
       Reseller may market other products, including those in competition with
       those listed on the Product Exhibits. Each party reserves the right to
       advertise, promote and sell any product, including Products listed on
       the Product Exhibits, in competition with the other party.

   D.  HP will not be deemed a party to any agreement between Reseller and any
       subsequent purchaser or licensee.

5. PRICES

   A.  Net Reseller Price includes shipment arranged by HP, unless otherwise
       indicated on the quotation. HP reserves the right to charge Reseller for
       any special routing, packing, handling or insurance requested by
       Reseller and agreed to by HP. Orders

<PAGE>

       shipped under special routing instructions must be separately agreed
       upon and may be subject to additional charges.

   B.  Prices are exclusive of, and Reseller will pay, applicable sales, use,
       service, value added or like taxes unless Reseller has provided HP with
       an appropriate exemption certificate for the Delivery jurisdiction, or
       HP agrees the transaction is otherwise exempt.

   C.  HP reserves the right to change prices and discounts upon reasonable
       notice or as specified in Exhibits or the OPM. If Reseller is unsure of
       the List Price to use in calculating Net Reseller Price for any Product,
       Reseller should contact its HP sales representative or relationship
       manager.

   D.  List prices are suggested prices for resale to end-user customers and a
       basis for calculating Net Reseller Price. Reseller has the right to
       determine its own resale prices, and no HP representative will require
       that any particular resale price be charged by Reseller or grant or
       withhold any benefits to Reseller based on Reseller's resale pricing
       policies. Reseller agrees that it will promptly report any effort by HP
       personnel to interfere with its pricing policies directly to an HP
       officer or senior sales manager.

   E.  Upon request from Reseller, HP may at its discretion grant special
       pricing for particular end-user customer transactions. In good faith HP
       may retract the special pricing at any time before acceptance by the end-
       user customer. HP may extend the pricing on an exclusive or non-exclusive
       basis and may condition the pricing on a pass-through of all or part of
       the non-standard offering extended by HP.

   F.  HP may, from time to time, offer Reseller certain Products on special
       promotional terms and conditions. All such offerings may be subject to
       pricing or discounts different from those provided for in this Agreement.
       Such offerings may not, in some cases, apply towards Reseller's volume
       or other commitments, and may not be eligible for other standard
       benefits, including but not limited to promotional allowance funds,
       price protection or stock adjustments. Except as specifically altered by
       HP in a promotional offering under this section, all other terms and
       conditions will remain unaltered.

6. ORDERS AND DELIVERY

   A.  HP will honor written orders from Reseller unless other methods are
       agreed upon in writing. Reseller's orders must reference this Agreement
       and comply with the minimum order, release, destination ("Shipment"
       address) and other requirements specified in Addenda, Exhibits and/or
       the OPM. Orders must also specify Delivery dates within periods specified
       in the OPM.

   B.  Reseller will issue orders from approved locations within its
       organization and will specify HP authorized "Ship To" addresses within
       the country where the order is placed, unless otherwise agreed. Reseller
       is responsible for ensuring that only authorized employees place, change
       or delete orders and that the orders conform to all requirements of this
       Agreement.

   C.  All orders are subject to acceptance by HP.

   D.  Delivery is subject to Product availability at the time Reseller's order
       is received. HP will make every reasonable effort to meet delivery dates
       quoted or acknowledged. If Products are in short supply, HP will allocate
       them at HP's discretion.

   E.  Title to hardware Products and risk of loss and damage for any Product
       will pass to Reseller at destination, provided however, that if Products
       are shipped under Reseller's shipping instructions, title and risk of
       loss and damage will pass to Reseller at HP's shipping dock.

   F.  Transactions may be conducted through Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI")
       or other electronic methods, as agreed.

   G.  Neither party will be responsible for failure or delay in performance
       due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as labor
       disputes, natural disaster, shortage of or inability to obtain labor,
       energy, and materials, war, riot, embargo, fire, or any other act or
       condition beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing party.
       Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall relieve the Reseller from
       any payment obligations under this Agreement.

7. PAYMENT

   A.  Reseller will pay invoices within thirty (30) days from the date of HP's
       invoice. HP reserves the right to specify payment in advance or other
       payment terms for credit reasons, or when Reseller's financial condition
       or relationship with HP so warrants, with respect to any new or unshipped
       orders.

   B.  If Reseller fails to pay any sum when due or fails to perform under this
       or any other Agreement with HP after ten (10) days written notice, HP may
       discontinue performance under this or any other Agreement between HP and
       Reseller.

   C.  Any Reseller claim for adjustment of an invoice is deemed to be waived if
       Reseller fails to present such claim within ninety (90) days from the
       date of the invoice. No claims, credits, or offsets may be deducted

        In addition to the terms set forth in Section 20 of the HP Reseller
Business Terms, the following will apply:

        A.  U.S. GOVERNMENT

        1.  Unless Direct Reseller has obtained HP's prior written consent,
Direct Reseller is prohibited from issuing any "Letter of Supply", from
guaranteeing to supply, or from selling, supplying, or providing any person with
Products for resale under any GSA contract.  Unless Direct Reseller has first
received a Letter of Supply or other written authorization from HP, Direct
Reseller is prohibited from listing, and will not list, HP products on any GSA
schedule or contract.

        2. No U.S. government procurement regulations will be deemed included
in this Agreement or binding on either party unless specifically accepted in
writing and signed by both parties.

        3. HP has a specific published process for identifying Defense Priority
Allocation System (DPAS) orders, which HP will provide to Reseller upon request.
Orders placed by Direct Reseller that do not follow this process will not be
recognized as DPAS orders and may be rejected. HP will not be liable for
improperly placed DPAS orders.

B.      INTERNATIONAL SALES

        Notwithstanding Section 20.F of the HP Reseller Business Terms, Direct
Reseller will not export Products to any purchaser outside the U.S., nor will
Direct Reseller sell Products for export outside the U.S., without HP's prior
written consent.  HP's consent to Direct Reseller's export of Products does not
relieve Direct Reseller of its obligation to obtain any required licenses from
the United States Department of Commerce, or any other agency or department of
the United States government, or any other required approvals from any other
government required by any applicable law or regulation, prior to exporting HP
products directly or indirectly.

compliance, pre-sales and post-sales technical support, Product orders,
invoices, credit and collection.

        B.  Reseller Account Manager may require additional terms and conditions
with RAM VAR in connection with this Exhibit, including additional credit terms.

3.      CERTIFICATION

        RAM VAR certifies:

        A.  It is experienced in the use and operation of the products to be
purchased hereunder and will be primarily responsible for the marketing and
support of the products to end-user customers.  RAM VAR may request marketing
assistance from HP.  HP will only be obligated to provide such assistance as is

provides or, in the case of software, acquires the right to license or
sublicense ("added value") and which RAM VAR sells or leases to end-user
customers (other than RAM VAR's corporate parent, division, or any subsidiary of
corporate parent) in the regular course of business. This added value represents

from any purchase of HP products from HP or a third party by RAM VAR's end-user
customers or prospective end-user customers.

        F.  RAM VAR will qualify for RAM VAR discounts on add-on Products and
upgrades to Products previously purchased by RAM VAR under this Exhibit if: (1)
RAM VAR initially resold the Product or system being enhanced or upgraded (the
"Initial System") with added value in accordance with the terms of this Program
Exhibit, including, but not limited to any added value or other requirements set
forth in the Reseller's application, and RAM VAR has provided and continues to
provide ongoing support on Initial System, or (2) RAM VAR did not initially
resell the Initial System but RAM VAR sells the upgrade or add-on with the
added value specified in this Program Exhibit.

        requirements.

    D.  "Software License" means the Use authorization(s) for the Software
        specified by HP in its quotation, invoice or other documentation. Each
        Software License has a corresponding License Fee.

    E.  "License Fee" means the fee or fees designated by HP for Use of
        Software. Different License Fees may apply to particular Software if
        more than one Software is available for that Software.

2.  LICENSES

    In return for the License Fee, HP grants Customer a non-exclusive license to
    Use the Software listed in Customer's order in conformance with the
    applicable Software License. Details of the types of Software Licenses
    offered are available from HP on request. If no Software License is
    specified, then, in return for the applicable fee, HP grants Customer a
    license to Use one copy of the Software on one Device at any one time. All
    Software Licenses will be perpetual unless terminated, transferred or
    otherwise specified.

    If Customer is an HP Authorized Reseller, Customer may sublicense the
    Software to an end-user for its Use, or (if applicable) sublicense the
    Software to an HP Authorized Reseller for subsequent distribution to an end-
    user for its Use. These sublicenses must incorporate the terms of this
    license in a written sublicense agreement, which will be made available to
    HP upon request.

3.  GENERAL LICENSE TERMS

    A.  Unless otherwise permitted by HP, Customer may only make copies or
        adaptations of the Software for archival purposes or when copying or
        adaptation is an essential step in the authorized Use of the Software on
        a backup Device, provided that copies and adaptations are used in no
        other manner and provided further that the Use on the backup Device is
        discontinued when the original or replacement Device becomes operable.

    B.  Customer must reproduce all copyright notices in or on the original
        Software on all permitted copies or adaptations. Customer may not copy
        the Software onto any public or distributed network.

    C.  Bundled Software or Firmware provided to Customer may only be used when
        operating the associated Device in configurations as sold or
        subsequently upgraded by HP. Customer may transfer Firmware only upon
        transfer of the associated Device.

    D.  Updates, upgrades or other enhancements are available under HP Support
        Agreements. HP reserves the right to require additional licenses and
        fees for Use of the Software on upgraded Devices.

    E.  The Software is owned and copyrighted by HP or by third-party suppliers.
        Customer's license confers no title or ownership and is not a sale of
        any rights in the Software, its documentation, or the media on which
        they are recorded or printed. Third-party suppliers may protect their
        rights in the Software in the event of any infringement.

    F.  Customer will not disassemble or decompile the Software without HP's
        prior written consent. Where Customer has other rights under statute,
        Customer will provide HP with reasonably detailed information regarding
        any intended disassembly or decompilation. Customer will not decrypt the
        Software unless necessary for legitimate use of the Software.

    G.  Customer's Software License is transferable subject to HP's prior
        written authorization and payment to HP of any applicable fees. Customer
        will immediately upon transfer deliver all copies of the Software to the
        transferee. The transferee must agree in writing to the terms of
        Customer's license. All license terms will be binding on involuntary
        transferees, notice of which is hereby given. Customer's license will
        automatically terminate upon transfer.

    H.  HP may terminate Customer's or any transferee's or sublicensee's
        Software License upon notice for failure to comply with any applicable
        license terms. Immediately upon termination, the Software and all copies
        of the Software will be destroyed or returned to HP. Copies of the
        Software that are merged into adaptations, except for individual pieces
        of data in Customer's or transferee's or sublicensee's data base, will
        be removed or destroyed or returned to HP. With HP's written consent,
        one copy of the Software may be retained subsequent to termination for
        archival purposes.

    I.  In this clause on Licenses to the U.S. Government, the term "Customer"
        means HP's direct purchaser, any entity sublicensing the Software, and
        the end-user.

        1.  If Software is licensed for use in the performance of a U.S.
            government prime contract or subcontract, Customer agrees that
            Software has been developed entirely at private expense. Customer
            agrees that Software, and any derivatives or modifications, is
            adequately marked when the Restricted Rights Legend below is
            affixed to the Software or to its storage media and is perceptible
            directly or with the aid of a machine or device. Customer agrees to
            conspicuously put the following legend on the Software media with
            Customer's name and address added below the notice:

            RESTRICTED RIGHTS LEGEND

        party software vendor, patches, workarounds, and updates. HP's decision
        on how long to offer HP support on selected versions of non-HP software
        is final.

    F.  NON-HP PRODUCTS

        HP is not liable for the performance or non-performance of third-party
        software vendors, their products, or their support services including

    G.  HP SOFTWARE ON NON-HP SYSTEM

        HP System Support Options for specified HP Software Products used with
        designated non-HP system provides the following features: phone-in
        assistance, software problem reporting, HP SupportLine electronic
        information access and call submittal, license for software updates, and
        patches.

    H.  ESCALATION MANAGEMENT

        On-site assistance for critical software problems is limited to systems
        supported by one (1) system manager and situated within one half (1/2)
        mile (one (1)kilometer) radius of each other. Systems situated
        beyond this limit that require on-site assistance will be subject to
        additional charges at HP's standard service rates.

        HP Response Center use is limited to the system manager for the
        operating system and subsystem software; if applicable, the network
        operator for the network; if applicable, the application software
        manager(s) for each family of HP application software; and if purchased,
        additional HP Response Center callers. In the absence of any of these

        to the designated after-hours alternate.

    J.  SOURCE CODE SUPPORT

        Customer at HP's standard service rates for any other assistance
        required.

    K.  HP PREDICTIVE SUPPORT (SELECTED SYSTEMS)

                   HP WARRANTY AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION

1.      DEFINITIONS

        A. "Delivery" means standard HP shipping to and arrival at the receiving
area at the "Ship to" address in the country where customer's order is placed,
unless otherwise indicated on the quotation.

        B. "Products" means hardware, software, documentation, accessories,
supplies, parts and upgrades that are determined by HP to be available from HP
upon receipt of Customer's order. "Custom Products" means products modified,
designed or manufactured to meet customer requirements.

        C. "Software" means one or more programs capable of operating on a
controller, processor or other hardware product ("Device"). Software is either a
separate product, included with another product ("Bundled Software"), or fixed
in a device and not removable in normal operation ("Firmware").

        D. "Specifications" means specific technical information about HP
products which is published in HP product manuals and technical data sheets in
effect on the date HP ships Customer's order.

2.      WARRANTY STATEMENT

        A.  Product warranty period is defined by the warranty code appearing on
quotations, as described in the "Warranty and Installation Classification Table"
below or is available upon request.

        B. Products purchased from HP outside the U.S. will receive the standard
warranty in the country of purchase. If customer moves such products to another
country where HP has support presence, then customer will receive the
destination country standard warranty.

        C. Products purchased in the U.S. based in the U.S. list prices will
only receive standard warranty in the U.S., except for products with a global
warranty. All products purchased in the U.S. based on international prices will
include a global warranty. A global warranty means that the product will include
the destination country's standard warranty in any country where the Product is
moved provided that HP has support presence in that country.

        D. Additional warranty coverage may be purchased and that warranty will
be limited to the country in which the additional coverage was purchased.
Customer may receive a different warranty when the product is purchased as part
of a system. HP reserves the right to change the warranty. Such changes will
affect only new orders.

        E. The warranty period begins on the date of delivery, or the date of
installation if installed by HP. If Customer schedules or delays installation by
HP more than 30 days after Delivery, the warranty period begins on the 31st day
after Delivery.

        F. HP warrants HP hardware Products against defects in materials and
workmanship. HP further warrants that HP hardware Products conform to
specifications. These warranties do not include periodic recalibration
(recommended for some HP Products), unless specifically covered in the warranty
terms for such Products.

        G.  HP warrants that Software will not fail to execute its programming
instructions due to defects in materials and workmanship when properly installed
and used on the Device designated by HP.  HP further warrants that HP owned
standard Software will substantially conform to Specifications.  HP does not
warrant that software will operate in hardware and software combinations
selected by Customer, or meet requirements specified by Customer.

        H.  HP does not warrant that the operation of Products will be
uninterrupted or error free.

        I.  HP warrants that each HP hardware, software, and firmware Product
delivered under this Exhibit and HP terms and conditions of Sale and Service
will be able to accurately process date data (including, but not limited to,
calculating, comparing, and sequencing) from, into, and between the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000, including leap year
calculations, when used in accordance with the Product documentation provided by
HP (including any instructions for installing patches or upgrades), provided
that all other products (e.g. hardware, software, firmware) used in combination
with such HP product(s) properly exchange date data with it.  If the
specifications require that specific HP Products must perform as a system in
accordance with the foregoing warranty, then that warranty will apply to those
HP products as a system, and customer retains sole responsibility to ensure the
year 2000 readiness of its information technology and business environment.  The
duration of this warranty extends through January 31, 2001.  To the extent
permitted by local law, this warranty applies only to branded HP products and
not to products manufactured by others that may be sold or distributed by HP.
This warranty Section 2I. applies only to HP Products shipped after July 01,
1998. The remedies applicable to this Section 2I., are those provided in Section
2J. below. Nothing in this warranty will be construed to limit any rights or
remedies provided elsewhere in this Exhibit and HP's Terms and Conditions of
Sale and Service will respect to matters other than year 2000 compliance.

        J.  If HP receives notice of defects or non-conformance to hardware
Specifications, or substantial non-conformance to HP owned standard Software
Specifications during the warranty period, HP will, at its option, repair (and
recalibrate only as necessitated by repairs), or replace the affected Products.
If HP is unable, within a reasonable time, to repair, replace or correct a
defect or non-conformance in a product to a condition as warranted, customer
will be entitled to a refund of the purchase price upon prompt return of the
Product to HP.  Customer will pay expenses for return of such Products to HP.
HP will pay expenses for shipment of repaired or replacement Products, except
for Products returned to customer from another country.

        K.  HP warrants that HP Support will be provided in a professional and
workmanlike manner.  HP will replace, at no charge, parts which are defective
and returned to HP within 90 days of delivery.

        L.  Some newly manufactured HP Products may contain and warranty service
may use remanufactured parts, which are equivalent to new in performance.

        M.  The above warranties do not apply to defects resulting from improper
or inadequate maintenance or calibration by Customer; Customer or third party
supplied software, interfacing or supplies; unauthorized modification; improper
use or operation outside the specifications for the product, abuse, negligence,
accident, loss or damage in transit; improper site preparation; or unauthorized
maintenance or repair.

        N.   THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER WARRANTY, WHETHER
WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.  HP SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

        3.      PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

        A.  Within HP service travel areas, HP Products and certain other
Products designated by HP, sold with On-Site warranty and installation coverage,
will be installed by HP at the Customer's facility at no charge.  Outside HP
service travel areas, warranty and installation services will be performed at
Customer's facility only upon  HP's prior agreement; Customer will pay HP's
travel expenses and other applicable expenses for such services.

        B.  Products with On-Site warranty will receive warranty services
only at the initial installation site.  If Products eligible for On-Site
warranty and installation services are moved from the initial installation site,
the warranty services will be provided only if the Customer purchases additional
inspection or installation services at the new site.

        C.   Products with On-Site warranty will receive warranty services
outside the country of initial purchase if global warranty coverage applies.
Service outside the country of initial purchase is subject to the conditions
regarding HP service travel areas and initial installation in Sections 3A. and
B. above.

        D.  Products with global warranty coverage and return to HP warranty,
and battery-powered Products, may be returned to the closest HP authorized
repair center.  All other products with return to HP warranty must be returned
to a HP authorized repair center within the country of original purchase.
Customer will pay expenses for return of such Products to HP.  HP will pay
expenses for shipment of repaired or replacement Products, except for Products
returned to Customer from another country.

4.      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND REMEDIES

        A.  To the extent HP is held legally liable to customer, HP's liability
is limited to:

        1)  damages for bodily injury;

        2)  direct damages to tangible property up  to a limit of U.S. one
million dollars ($1,000,000).

        B. Notwithstanding Section 4A, above, in no event will HP or its
affiliates, subcontractors or suppliers be liable for any of the following:

        1)  Actual loss or direct damage that is not listed in 4A. above;

        2)  damages for loss of data, or software restoration;

        3)  damages relating to Customer's procurement of substitute products or
            services (i.e. "cost of cover"); or

        4)  Incidental, special or consequential damages (including downtime
            costs or lost profits).

        C.  THE REMEDIES IN THIS EXHIBIT AND HP's TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
AND SERVICE ARE CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES.

5.      WARRANTY AND INSTALLATION CLASSIFICATIONS

        Products receive warranty and installation services as defined in the
Warranty and Installation Classification Table below.  Peripherals, accessories
and interfaces receive the same services as the systems to which they are
connected when:

        1)  the Products are purchased with the system on a coordinated
delivery and are included in the system configuration; or,

        2)  the Products are purchased as add-ons to an existing system covered
by a HP service agreement which is extended to include the add-on Products.

                                   ARTICLE I

     This is a Lease Agreement made and entered into between John L. McArdle,
Jr., hereinafter referred to as "Lessor," and, EpicEdge, as "Lessee," whether
one or more.

     1.1  The Leased Premises.  Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee
hereby leases from Lessor, the "Leased Premises" which consists of all of the
following:

          [a]  Office Space.  Exclusive rights to Suite 302B.  The Street
Address of the building is 317 Ranch Road 620 South, Austin, Texas 78734.

          [b]  Interior Common Area.  Non-exclusive rights to use the interior
common area located in the above-described building, i.e., areas normally
accessible to Lessees such as the hallways, stairwells, elevators, lobby, rest
rooms, and snack bar areas.

          [c]  Exterior Common Area.  Non-exclusive rights to use the exterior
common area located outside the building on the above described land, i.e.,
loading areas, sidewalks, driveways, parking garage, parking areas, and other
open areas (if any).  Lessee is entitled to one marked (at lessee's expense)
parking spot.

     The term "leased premises" shall mean Lessee's office space and the common
area of which Lessee has non-exclusive use.  The term "office space," "common
areas," "building," and "land," as used in this lease shall have the meanings
set forth above.

     1.2  Use.  Lessee's office space shall be used only for:  General Office.

                                  ARTICLE II

     2.1  Base Rent.  Lessee shall pay to Lessor a base rent of $291.60 per
calendar month.

     2.2  Place and Time of Payment.  All rents due under the lease are due upon
the execution of this Agreement, and may be paid in equal monthly installments
of $291.60, in advance, on the 1st day of each calendar month.

     2.3  Late Payment of Rent.  If any rent payment is not received by Lessor
within 5 days after its due date, Lessee shall pay a late charge of Five (5%) of
such rent payment, plus One (1%) of such rent payment for each day thereafter
(for up to Thirty days) until such rent is paid.  Such late payment charges are
due immediately when incurred without notice or demand.  All payments

                                       2
<PAGE>

for any purpose shall be by check or money order, not cash.  Lessee agrees to
pay $20.00 for each returned check.  Payments of any kind received by Lessor on
behalf of Lessee shall be applied first to non-rent items, then to rent.
Payment of rent by Lessee shall be an independent covenant, without right of
set-off.  Lessee's right of possession and all of Lessor's obligations hereunder
are expressly contingent on the prompt payment of rent, and the use of the
premises is obtained only on the condition that rent is paid on time.  In the
event Lessee has not timely paid rentals and other sums due on two or more
occasions, or in the event of a returned check for insufficient funds or no
account, Lessor may for the next Twelve months require that all rent and other
sums due be paid by cashier's check, certified check, or money orders, without
prior notice.

                                  ARTICLE III

     3.1  Security Deposit.  At the time of execution of this Lease, Lessee will
pay a deposit of $291.60 which secures performance of Lessee's obligations
under this lease during the initial term and renewal or extension periods.  If
Lessee fails to pay rent or other sums when due, the security deposit may at
Lessor's option be applied to such unpaid amounts.  If the security is drawn
against in whole or in part, Lessee shall restore the security deposit to its
original amount immediately upon written request by Lessor.  The security
deposit (or an accounting thereof) shall be returned to Lessee within Thirty
days after surrender of the leased premises by Lessee, less lawful deductions
for damages and other sums due under this lease.

                                  ARTICLE IV

for SIX full calendar months from commencement date.  The commencement date of
this lease shall be March 8, 2000, or the date Lessee occupies all of any part

the first full month following commencement date.

judgment of Lessor, appreciably damage Lessor's goodwill or reputation, or tend
to injure or depreciate the value of the Complex.  Lessee has no authority to
encumber the Complex or Leased Premises with any lien, and Lessee shall not
suffer or permit any such lien to exist.  Should any such lien hereafter be
filed, Lessee shall promptly discharge the same at its sole cost.

     6.9.  Access by Lessor.  Lessee shall permit Lessor or its agents or
representatives to enter into and upon any part of the

                                       6

<PAGE>

Leased Premises at all reasonable hours to inspect same, to clean, to make
repairs, alterations or additions thereto, as Lessor may deem necessary or
desirable, to show the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers or Lessees, or
for any other purpose deemed reasonable by Lessor; and Lessee shall not be
entitled to any abatement or reduction or Rent by reason thereof.

     6.10  Subordination.  This Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder are
subject and subordinate to any mortgage or mortgages and any deed or deeds of
trust, blanket or otherwise, which are now or may hereafter be placed on the
Land and any and all increases, renewals, indemnifications, consolidation,
replacements and extension of any of such mortgages and deeds of trust.  This
provision shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to
effect subordination of this Lease.  Lessee shall, however, upon demand at any
time or times, execute, and acknowledge and deliver to Lessor any and all
instruments and certificates that may be necessary or proper to more effectively
document the subordination of this Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder to
any such mortgage or mortgages and/or deed or deeds of trust or to confirm or
evidence such subordination.  In the event Lessee shall fail or neglect to
execute, acknowledge, and deliver any such subordination instrument or
certificate, Lessor, in addition to any other remedies it may have, may, as
Agent and Attorney-In-Fact of Lessee, execute, acknowledge and deliver the same
and Lessee hereby irrevocably nominates and constitutes and appoints Lessor as
Lessee's proper and legal Agent and Attorney-In-Fact for such purposes.  Lessee
covenants and agrees, in the event any proceedings are brought for the
foreclosure of any such mortgage or if the Building be sold pursuant to any such
Deed of Trust, to attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale or
trustee's sale if so requested by such purchaser and to recognize such purchaser
as the Lessor under this Lease.  Lessee agrees to execute and deliver at any
time and from time to time, upon request of Lessor or of any holders of any
indebtedness or other obligation secured by any such mortgages and deeds of
trust any instrument or certificate which, in the sole judgment of Lessor or of
such holders, may be necessary or appropriate in any such foreclosure
proceedings or otherwise to evidence such attornment.  Lessee hereby irrevocably
appoints Lessor and the holders of the indebtedness or other obligation secured
by the aforesaid mortgages and/or deeds of trust jointly and severally the
Agent and Attorney-In-Fact of Lessee to execute and deliver for and on behalf of
Lessee any such instrument or certificate.  Lessee further waives the provisions
of any statute or rule of law, now or hereafter in effect, which may give or
purport to give Lessee any right to elect to terminate or otherwise adversely
affect this Lease and the obligations of Lessee hereunder in the event any such
foreclosure proceeding is brought or trustee's sale occurs, and agrees that this
Lease shall not be effected in any way whatsoever by any such foreclosure
proceeding or trustee's sale unless the holders of the

                                       7
<PAGE>

indebtedness or other obligations secured by said mortgages and/or deeds of
trust shall declare otherwise.

                                  Article VII

     7.1.  Condemnation, Loss or Damages.  If the Leased Premises, Building, or
any part thereof shall be taken or condemned for any public purpose (or conveyed
in lieu or in settlement thereof) to such an extent as to render the remainder
of the Building or Leased Premises, in the opinion of Lessor, not reasonably
suitable for occupancy, this Lease shall, at the option of either party,
forthwith cease and terminate, and all proceeds from any taking or condemnation
of the Building and the Leased Premises shall belong to and be paid to Lessor.
If this Lease is not so terminated, Lessor shall repair any damage resulting
from such taking, to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 8.02, and
Base Rental hereunder shall be abated to the extent the Leased Premises are
rendered unleasable during the period of repair and thereafter be adjusted on an
equitable basis considering the areas of the Leased Premises taken and
remaining.

     7.2.  Damage by Fire or Other Casualty.  If the Premises or any part
thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Lessee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to Lessor.  In case the Building shall be so damaged by
fire or other casualty that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the
Building shall, in Lessor's sole opinion, be required (whether or not the
premises have been damaged by such fire or other casualty), or in the event any
mortgagee under a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Building should
require that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of said fire or other
casualty be used to retire the mortgage debt, Lessor, may, at its option,
terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted by notifying Lessee
in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of such
damage, in which event the rent hereunder shall be abated, and this Lease shall
be deemed terminated, as of the date of such damage.  In the event Lessor
decides to terminate this Lease and Lessee has paid rent for a one month period
subsequent to the deemed termination date, then Lessor shall refund a prorata
portion of such rental payment(s) within ten (10) days of such notice of
termination.  If Lessor does not thus elect to terminate this Lease, Lessor
shall within seventy-five (75) days after the date of such damage commence to
repair and restore the Building and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to
restore the Building (except that Lessor shall not be responsible for delays
outside its control) to substantially the same condition in which the property
was in immediately prior to the happening of the casualty, except that Lessor
shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any improvement or additions
made to the Premises by Lessee or any part of Lessee's furniture, furnishings,
fixtures, equipment or other personal property unless such damage was caused by
Lessor's gross

                                       8

<PAGE>

negligence or willful act.  Lessor shall not be liable for any inconvenience or
annoyance to Lessee or injury to the business of Lessee resulting in any way
from such damage or the repair thereof, except that, subject to the provisions
of the next sentence, Lessor shall allow Lessee a fair diminution of rent during
the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy.  If the
premises or any other portion of the Complex be damaged by fire or other
casualty resulting from acts or omission of Lessee or any of Lessee's agents,
employees, or Invitees, the rent hereunder shall not be diminished during the
period of such damage, and Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for the cost and
expense of the repair and restoration of the Building caused thereby to the
extent such cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds, and also for
rents from other Lessees lost by Lessor, as well as all other damages allowed by
law.

     7.3.  Security Interest.  In consideration for the mutual benefits arising
under this Lease, and as security for Lessee's performance of all its
obligations under this Lease, Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a lien and security
interest in and on all property of Lessee now or hereafter placed in or upon the
Leased Premises, and such property shall be and remain subject to such lien and
security interest of Lessor for payment of all rent and other sums agreed to be
paid by Lessee herein.  The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall constitute a
security agreement under the Texas Uniform Commercial Code so that Lessor shall
have and may enforce a security interest on all property of Lessee now or
hereafter placed in or on the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to all
fixtures, machinery, equipment, furnishing and other articles of personal
property now or hereafter placed in or upon the Leased Premises by Lessee.
Lessor may, at its election, at any time file a copy of this Lease as a
financing statement.  Lessor, as secured party, shall be entitled to all of the
rights and remedies afforded to a secured party under the Texas Uniform
Commercial Code, which rights and remedies shall be in addition to and
cumulative to the Lessor's liens and rights provided by law or by the other
terms and provisions of this Lease.  Promptly upon request, and without further
consideration, Lessee agrees to execute as debtor such additional financing
statement or statements as Lessor may now or hereafter reasonably request in
order that Lessor's security interests may be protected by the Texas Uniform
Commercial Code.

     7.4.  Holding Over.  If Lessee should remain in possession of the Leased
Premises after the termination or expiration of the Term without the execution
by Lessor and Lessee of a new lease, then Lessee shall be deemed to be occupying
the Leased Premises as a Lessee-at-sufferance, subject to all the covenants and
obligations of this Lease, except that the daily Rent shall be twice the per day
Rent in effect immediately prior to such expiration or termination, but such
holding over shall not extend

                                       9

<PAGE>

the Term.

     7.5.  Assignment by Lessor.  Lessor shall have the right to transfer and
assign, in whole or in part, all its rights and obligations hereunder and in the
Building and property referred to herein, and upon any such transfer or
assignment, no further liability or obligation shall thereafter accrue against
Lessor hereunder.

     7.6.  Recourse Limitation.  Lessee specifically agrees to look solely to
Lessor's interest in the Building for the recovery of any judgment from Lessor,
it being agreed that Lessor shall never be personally liable for any such
judgment.  The provision contained in the foregoing sentence shall not limit any
right that Lessee might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against
Lessor.

     7.7.  Control of Common Areas and Parking Facilities by Lessor.  All
automobile parking areas including (without limitation), driveways, entrances,
and exits thereto, and other facilities furnished by Lessor, including all
parking areas, truck ways, loading areas, pedestrian walkways, ramps, landscaped
areas, stairways and other areas and improvements provided by Lessor for the
general use, in common, of Lessees, their officers, agents, employees, Invitees,
licensees, visitors and customers shall be at all times subject to the exclusive
control and management of Lessor, and Lessor shall have the right from time to
time to establish, modify and enforce reasonable rules and regulations (herein
called the "Building Rules and Regulations") with respect to all facilities and
areas mentioned in this Section.  The initial Building Rules and Regulations are
set out in the Addendum attached hereto.

     7.8.  Default By Lessee.  If Lessee defaults in the payment of rent, or any
additional rent, or defaults in the performance of any of the other covenants or
conditions hereof, Lessor may, at its option and without further written notice
to Lessee, in addition to all the other remedies given hereunder or by law or
equity, do any one or more of the following:

           [1]  Terminate this Lease, in which event Lessee shall immediately
surrender possession of the Leased Premises to Lessor;

           [2]  Enter upon and take possession of the Leased Premises and expel
or remove Lessee and any other occupant therefrom with or without having
terminated the Lease;

           [3]  Apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit to cure such
Event of Default; and

                                      10
<PAGE>

           [4]  Alter locks and other security deposits at the Leased Premises.

     (A)   Exercise by Lessor of any one or more remedies shall not constitute
an acceptance of surrender of the Leased Premises by Lessee, it being understood
that such surrender can be effected only by the written agreement of Lessor and
Lessee.

     (B)   If Lessor terminates this Lease by reason of an Event of Default,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor the sum of all Rent and other indebtedness accrued
hereunder to the date of such termination, the amounts stated in Section 7.08(f)
hereof, plus, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the then present value
of the Rent and all other indebtedness as would otherwise have been required to
be paid by Lessee to Lessor during the period following the termination of the
Term measured form the date of such termination to the date of expiration stated
in Section 1.02, less the then present fair market rental value of the Leased
Premises for such period; because of the difficulty of ascertaining the fair
market rental value of the Leased Premises and the costs and time associated
with reletting the Leased Premises, the Lessor and Lessee stipulate that such
fair market rental value shall in no event be deemed to exceed seventy-five
(75%) of the then present value of the Rent reserved for such period.

     (C)   If Lessor repossesses the Leased Premises without terminating the
Lease, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor all Rent and other indebtedness accrued
to the date of such repossession, plus Rent and other sums required to be paid
by Lessee during the remainder of the Term, diminished by any net sums
thereafter received by Lessor through reletting the Leased Premises during said
period (after deducting expenses incurred by Lessor as provided below); reentry
by Lessor will not affect the obligations of Lessee for the unexpired Term.
Lessee shall not be entitled to any excess of any Rent obtained by reletting
over the Rent herein reserved.  Actions to collect amounts due by Lessee may be
brought on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Lessor's waiting
until expiration of the Term.

     (D)   In case of an Event of Default, to the extent the same were not paid
or deducted, as appropriate, under Section 7.08(b) or (c), Lessee shall also pay
to Lessor: all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing Lessor's
remedies, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs.

     (E)   Upon termination or repossession of the Leased Premises for an Event
of Default, Lessor shall not be obligated to relet or attempt to relet the
Leased Premises, but Lessor shall have the option to relet or attempt to relet.
In the event of reletting,

                                      11

<PAGE>

Lessor may relet the whole or any portion of the Leased Premises for any period,
to any Lessee, and for any use an purpose.

     (F)   If Lessee should fail to make any payment, perform any obligation, or
cure any default hereunder, Lessor may at its sole option, make such payment,
perform such obligation, and/or remedy such other default for the account of
Lessee (and enter the Leased Premises for such purpose), and Lessee shall pay
upon demand all costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable
attorney's fees) incurred by Lessor in taking such remedial action, plus
interest thereon at the highest rate of interest permitted by law.

     7.9   Non-Waiver. No failure to enforce any term shall be deemed to be a
waiver of any Lessor's rights hereunder.

     7.10  Time of Essence.  In all instances where any act is required at a
particular indicated time or within an indicated period, it is understood and
stipulated that time is of the essence.

     7.11  Remedies Cumulative.  Lessor may restrain or enjoin any breach or
threatened breach of any covenant, duty, or obligation of Lessee herein
contained without the necessities or proving the inadequacy of any legal remedy
or irreparable harm.  The remedies of Lessor hereunder shall be deemed
cumulative and no remedy of Lessor, whether exercised by Lessor or not, shall be
deemed to be in exclusion of any other.

     7.12  Insurance, Subrogation, Liability, Indemnity, and Waiver.

     (a)   Lessee shall maintain at its sole expense fire and extended coverage
insurance with vandalism and Malicious mischief endorsements and a sprinkler
leakage endorsement (where applicable), on all of its personal property,
including removable trade fixtures, located in the Leased Premises on
non-Building Standard leasehold improvements and all additions and improvements
made by Lessee.

     (b)   Lessee shall, at its sole expense, maintain in effect at all times
comprehensive general liability insurance, including contractual liability
coverage, naming Lessor as an additional insured, issued by and binding upon
some solvent insurance company authorized to do business in Texas and
satisfactory to Lessor, with bodily injury limits of not less than $500,000.00
for each occurrence and property damage liability limits of not less than
$100,000.00 for each occurrence.  Lessee shall provide to Lessor (i) copies of
such insurance policies prior to the Commencement Date of the Term, (ii)
certificates of renewal at least thirty (30)

                                      12

<PAGE>

days prior to the expiration date of any such policies, and (iii) copies of new
policies at least thirty (30) days prior to terminating, or changing insurance
companies for, any such policies.

     (c)   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each party hereto
hereby releases and waives all claims, rights of recovery, and causes of action
that either party or any party claiming by, through, or under such party by
subrogation or otherwise, may now or hereafter have against the other party or
any of the other party's partners, directors, officers, or employees or agents
for any loss or damage that may occur to the Complex, Leased Premises, Lessee
improvements, or any of the contents of any of the foregoing by reason of fire
or other casualty, or any other cause except gross negligence or willful
misconduct (but including negligence of the parties hereto or their partners,
directors, officers, employees, or agents) that could have been insured against
under the terms of (i) any standard fire and extended coverage insurance
policies required under the terms of this Lease, or (ii) any other loss covered
by insurance required to be maintained under the terms of this Lease; provided,
however, that this waiver shall be ineffective against any insurer of Lessor or
Lessee to the extent that such waiver (i) is prohibited by the law and insurance
regulations of The State of Texas, or (ii) would invalidate any insurance
coverage of Lessor or Lessee.  The waiver set forth in this Section 7.12(c)
shall not apply to any deductibles on policies carried by Lessor not to any
coinsurance penalty which Lessor might sustain.

     (d)   Except for any of the claims, rights of recovery, and causes of
action that Lessor has released and waived pursuant to Section 5.12(c), Lessee
hereby releases, indemnified, defends, and holds harmless Lessor and Lessor's
partners, agents, directors, officers, employees, Invitees, and contractors,
form all claims, losses, costs, damages or expenses (including, but not limited
to, attorney's fees) resulting or arising from any and all injuries or death of
any person or damage to any property occurring during the Term caused or alleged
to have been caused by any act, omission, or neglect of Lessee or Lessee's
directors, officers, employees, agents, Invitees or guests, or any parties
contracting with Lessee relative to the Leased Premises.

     (e)   Lessee and Lessor agree that each shall not be responsible or liable
to the other, or to their agents, customers, or Invitees, for bodily injury,
(fatal or non-fatal) or property damage occasioned by the acts or omissions of
any other Lessee or any other Lessee's employees, agents, contractors,
customers or Invitees within the Complex, or for any loss or damage to any
property or persons occasioned by theft, fire, act of God, public enemy,
injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or order
of any governmental body or authority, (except
