     Landlord shall select another index published by a department or agency of
     the United States Government to be substituted for the prior index, with
     any appropriate adjustment required because of differences in the prior
     index and the substituted index. This procedure shall continue until such

     reasonably substitute an index prepared by an appropriate corporation or
     other entity.

     3.1 Initial Term. The Premises are leased to Tenant, for a term commencing

years each (each an "Extension Period"), commencing on the day following the
Expiration Date. Such option shall be exercised by Tenant giving written notice
(an "Extension Notice") thereof to Landlord not later than 9 months prior to
what would otherwise be the last day of the Lease Term, time being strictly of
the essence. If Tenant so exercises its option to extend the Lease Term, all of
the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease shall continue to

Expiration Date, which new Expiration Date shall not be earlier than June 29,

          4.1.1 Base Rent. A monthly Base Rent shall be due and payable in

         July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2012          $30,000.00

          4.1.2 Extension Rent. If Tenant shall elect to extend the term of this
     Lease pursuant to Section 3.2 above, the Base Rent for each such Extension
     Period shall be equal to 95% of the Fair Rental Value determined as
     follows:

               (a) After the receipt of an Extension Notice, Landlord may
          propose a monthly Fair Rental Value of the Premises as of the
          commencement of the applicable Extension Period, (i) by reference to
          comparable warehouse/manufacturing space, (ii) taking into account the
          location of the Premises, (iii) taking into account the cost of
          duplicating the Building Elements, based on remaining useful life, and
          (iv) giving consideration to an amount for which a willing landlord
          would lease, the Premises to a willing tenant, each without
          compulsion, on the same terms and conditions of this Lease, other than
          Base Rent (the "Fair Rental Value") (the amount so determined by
          Landlord is referred to herein as the "Proposed Fair Rental Value").
          Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of the Proposed Fair Rental
          Value at least seven (7) months prior to the commencement of the
          applicable Extension Period (a "Market Rent Notice"). In the event
          Landlord shall fail to so advise Tenant, the annual amount of Base
          Rent for the applicable Extension Period shall be the monthly of Base
          Rent in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Period.
          In the event Landlord shall so advise Tenant, the monthly Base Rent
          for the applicable Extension Period shall be 95% of the Proposed Fair
          Rental Value if Tenant elects to accept such Proposed Fair Rental
          Value. If Tenant does not accept, the Base Rent shall be determined by
          the Appraisal Procedure set forth in Section 4.1.2(b).

               (b) Within ninety (90) days after an Extension Notice is given in
          which a Proposed Fair Rental Value is not accepted, Landlord and
          Tenant shall each appoint a disinterested appraiser who shall be a
          member of the American Institute of Appraisers and shall notify the
          other promptly following such appointment. If either Landlord or
          Tenant fails to appoint such an appraiser within the time specified,
          then the party who has timely appointed its appraiser, after giving
          thirty (30) days additional written notice to the other, may cause the
          Fair Rental Value to be determined solely by the appraiser appointed
          by such party in accordance with the foregoing procedure. If Landlord
          and Tenant do each appoint such an appraiser as provided herein, then
          within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the second of the
          two appraisers, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser. If
          the two original appraisers are unable to agree upon the selection of
          a third appraiser, then either Tenant or Landlord may request that the
          American Institute of Appraisers appoint a third appraiser. All
          appraisers shall be charged with determining the Fair Rental Value.
          Within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third appraiser,
          Landlord, Tenant and the three appraisers shall meet at the Premises,
          and

                                       6
<PAGE>

          in a proceeding held in accordance with the rules of the American
          Arbitration Association, Landlord and Tenant shall each be allowed to
          present such evidence and testimony on such Fair Rental Value as is
          allowed under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The
          appraisers shall be instructed that within thirty (30) days after the
          date on which Landlord, Tenant and the appraisers conclude such
          meeting, the appraisers shall determine the Fair Rental Value of the
          premises. The Fair Rental Value figure selected by a majority of the
          appraisers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall
          pay for its appraiser and shall equally share the cost of the third
          appraiser. If the 95% of the appraisers' determination of the Fair
          Rental Value is more than 10% in excess of the monthly Base Rent in
          effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Period, and
          Tenant does not accept such determination of Fair Market Value, Tenant
          may rescind its exercise of the option to extend by serving written
          notice of such rescission on Landlord within such twenty day after
          notice of such determination is given to Tenant, but if Tenant so
          rescinds its exercise, it shall pay for all three appraisers and shall
          not thereafter be entitled to re-exercise its option under Section
          3.2. If Tenant does not rescind its exercise within twenty-day period,
          a sum equal to the greater of (a) 95% of the Fair Rental Value
          determined in accordance with the Appraisal Procedure or (b) the
          monthly Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the applicable
          Extension Period, shall be the monthly Base Rent for the applicable
          Extension Period.

     Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent all other sums of money required to be
     paid pursuant to this Lease, which shall be paid at the time and in the
     amounts set forth elsewhere in this Lease.

                            Impositions, Assessments
                            ------------------------

     5.1 Tenant to Pay Impositions. Tenant covenants to pay, as Additional Rent,
when due and before any fine or penalty is added thereto for the nonpayment
thereof, all Impositions which become due and payable during the years which are
included in whole or in part in the Lease Term; provided, however, that if any
such Imposition may be paid in installments, Tenant may pay each installment
before any fine or penalty is added to any such installment for the nonpayment
thereof. Impositions due and payable during the years when the Lease Term
commences and terminates shall be prorated according to the number of days in
such years which are included in the Lease Term. With respect to Impositions
which are payable in installments which extend beyond the Lease Term, Tenant
shall only be obligated to pay those installments which fall within the Lease
Term. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for sales or rental taxes, if any,
paid or payable by Landlord on rentals from the Premises.

     5.2 Payment of Assessments. Tenant covenants to pay when due and before any
fine or penalty is added thereto for the nonpayment thereof, all assessments for
local improvements and betterments which become due and payable during the years
which are included in whole or in part in the Lease Term; provided, however,
that if any such assessment may be paid in installments, Tenant shall be
required to pay only those installments which come due during the Lease Term. If
any such

                                       7
<PAGE>

assessments are proposed, and if Tenant so requests, Landlord agrees to
cooperate with and assist Tenant in seeking to have such assessments made
payable in installments, spread over the longest period then available under
applicable law and/or governmental policies.

     5.3 Evidence; Contents. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord from time to time
duplicate receipts or photostatic copies thereof showing payment of all
Impositions within 10 days after Tenant's request therefor from time to time.
Landlord shall, at its option, have the right at any time during the Lease Term
to pay, without the necessity of inquiring into the validity or legality
thereof, any delinquent Impositions and interest and penalties thereon, and the
amount so paid, including reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith,
shall be so much Additional Rent due from the Tenant to Landlord at the next
rental payment date after such payment; provided, however, that if Tenant shall
in good faith proceed to contest any such Impositions or the validity thereof by
proper legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection thereof
and the sale of the Premises or any part thereof to satisfy the same, Tenant
shall not be required to pay, discharge or remove any Impositions so long as
such proceeding is pending and Tenant is diligently prosecuting such proceeding;
provided further that Tenant, not less than 10 days before any such Impositions
shall become delinquent, shall give notice to Landlord of Tenant's intention to
contest the validity thereof and shall deposit with Landlord an amount
sufficient to pay the contested Impositions, plus penalty and interest through
the period of contest.

     5.4 Utilities. Tenant expressly agrees that Landlord shall not be required
to furnish to Tenant any water, sewer, gas, heat, electricity, light, power or
any other facilities, equipment, labor, materials or any services of any kind
whatsoever. Tenant shall make its own arrangements, at its own cost and expense,
for the furnishing to the Premises of all utilities, facilities or services
required for Tenant's use, and Tenant shall pay for all such utilities,
facilities or services to the Premises.

     6.1 Use. The Leased Premises may be used and occupied by Tenant for any
lawful business purpose, and for no other purposes, and such use and occupancy
shall be in compliance with all Laws. The Premises shall not be used in such
manner that, in accordance with any requirement of Law, including but not
limited to any Accessibility Regulation, Landlord shall be obligated to make any
addition or alteration to or in the Building.

     6.2 Compliance with Environmental Regulations. Except for substances and in
quantities which are normally used in the operation of Tenant's business or for
the maintenance or operation of the Premises, and which are used, stored and
disposed of in accordance with all applicable Environmental Regulations, Tenant
shall not, nor shall it permit others to, place, store, locate, generate,
produce, create, process, treat, handle, transport, incorporate, discharge,
emit, spill, release, deposit or dispose of any Hazardous Substance in, upon,
under, over or from the Premises. Tenant shall cause all Hazardous Substances
found in or under the Premises which are not permitted under the foregoing

sentence and which exist in quantities which violate applicable Environmental
Regulations to be properly removed therefrom and properly disposed of at
Tenant's expense. Tenant shall not install or permit to be installed any
underground storage tank on or under the Land. Tenant shall, promptly after
obtaining actual knowledge thereof, give notice to Landlord of (i) any activity
in material violation of any applicable Environmental Regulation relating to the
Premises, (ii) any governmental or regulatory actions instituted or threatened
under any Environmental Regulation affecting the Premises, (iii) all claims made
or threatened by any third party against Tenant or the Premises relating to any
Hazardous Substance or a violation of any Environmental Regulation, and (iv) any
discovery by Tenant of any occurrence or condition on or under the Premises
which could subject Landlord, Tenant or the Premises to a claim under any
Environmental Regulation. Any investigation, remedial or corrective action taken
with respect to the Premises shall be done under the supervision of a qualified
engineer or consultant acceptable to Landlord who shall, at Tenant's expense and
at the completion of such investigation or action, provide a written report
thereon to Landlord.

     6.3 Compliance with Accessibility Regulations. Tenant shall, at its sole
cost and expense, comply with all Accessibility Regulations which are applicable
to the Leased Premises.

     7.1 Time; Condition. Upon termination of this Lease, whether by reason of
lapse of time, forfeiture or otherwise, Tenant shall immediately surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord in good order, condition and repair,
ordinary wear and tear and loss by insured casualty excepted, and all Tenant
Equipage not removed from the Premises by Tenant shall become the property of
Landlord without any obligation on the part of Landlord to compensate Tenant
therefor. If possession be not immediately surrendered, Landlord may forthwith
re-enter the Premises and repossess the same or any part thereof and expel and
remove therefrom all persons and property without being deemed guilty of any
unlawful act or liable for damages by reason of such re-entry and without
prejudice to any other legal remedy available to Landlord.

     7.2 Removal of Tenant Equipage. Notwithstanding the preceding Section
hereof, Tenant or Tenant's lender(s) may remove any or all of the Tenant
Equipage, provided that such removal shall be made prior to the end of the Lease
Term. Any damage resulting from removal shall be repaired by Tenant or such
lender.

<PAGE>

          8.1.1 A Commercial General Liability Insurance policy, which policy
     shall include coverage for bodily injury, property damage, personal injury,
     contractual liability (applicable to this Lease), independent contractors
     and products-completed operations liability. Such policy shall provide
     coverage of at least $1,000,000 for each occurrence and annual aggregate
     coverage of at least $2,000,000.

          8.1.2 Insurance on the Building against loss by fire and other hazards
     covered by the so-called "all-risk" form of policy, and including
     contingent liability from operation of building laws coverage, in an amount
     not less than the Full Insurable Value. Such policy shall have an "agreed
     amount" endorsement or otherwise exclude co-insurance participation by the
     insured, and may include a deductible in an amount not greater than
     $10,000.00. While any building or other improvement is in the course of
     being constructed or rebuilt on the Land, such insurance shall be in
     builder's risk form or Tenant will require its contractor to carry such
     builder's risk coverage.

          8.1.3 If the Building includes steam boilers or other equipment
     excluded from coverage under the "all-risk" form of policy, boiler and
     machinery insurance in an amount not less than the Full Insurable Value.

     8.2 Insured Parties; Other Provisions. All property insurance policies
shall name Landlord as the insured party and loss payee. All liability insurance
policies shall name both Landlord and Tenant as insured parties. If Landlord so
elects, such policies shall also include the holders of any mortgages now or
hereafter encumbering the Premises. In the event that the holder of such a
mortgage is named as an insured under any of the foregoing property insurance
policies, the proceeds under such policies shall be made payable to such
mortgagee or mortgagees pursuant to standard mortgagee clauses. Each of the
foregoing policies shall contain the agreement of the insurer that:

          8.2.1 Such policies shall not be canceled except upon 15 days' prior
     notice to each named insured;

          8.2.2 The coverage afforded thereby shall not be affected by the
     performance of any work or alterations in or about the Premises;

          8.2.3 The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against all named
     insureds; and

          8.2.4 The insurance provided to Landlord thereunder shall not be
     affected by any defense the insurer may have against Tenant or any other
     person.

     8.3 Companies; Renewals; Failure to Provide. All policies required by this
Article shall be carried in such companies and upon such forms as Landlord and
Landlord's mortgagee from time to time reasonably approve. All policies required
to be furnished hereunder shall be deposited with the

                                       10
<PAGE>

Landlord prior to the commencement of the Lease Term, and renewals thereof, and
evidence of the payment of premium to continue coverage in force shall all be
deposited with Landlord not less than 30 days prior to the date on which such
insurance would otherwise expire. At Landlord's option, exercised in writing, in
the event Tenant shall fail to provide such policies, Landlord may obtain such
insurance and the entire cost thereof shall be due and payable as Additional
Rent upon billing by Landlord.

     9.1 Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against
and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs,
charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' and other consultants'
fees, which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord by
reason of any accident, injury, death or damage to property occurring in, on or
about the Premises during the Lease Term, unless and except to the extent
arising out of the negligence or misconduct of Landlord or its agents or
employees. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by
reason of such indemnified liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims,
costs, charges, and expenses, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, shall
at Tenant's expense resist or defend such action or proceeding by counsel
approved by Landlord in writing.

                 Operation, Repairs and Maintenance; Alterations
                 -----------------------------------------------

     10.1 Landlord Repairs and Maintenance. Throughout the Lease Term, Landlord
shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, keep all structural elements of the
Premises, the exterior supporting walls and the foundations of the Premises
(other than the roof and spouting) in good, watertight condition and repair.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall repair any and all
damage to the Premises that shall have been caused by the negligence of Tenant
or shall occur in connection with Alterations (as defined in Section 10.3 below)
performed by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord will do or cause others to do all
necessary shoring of foundations and walls of the Building and every other act
or thing for the safety and preservation thereof which may become necessary by
reason of any excavation or other building operation upon any adjoining property
or street, alley or passageway.

     10.2 Tenant Operation, Repairs and Maintenance. Throughout the Lease Term
(and except for the matters which Landlord is required to repair and maintain
pursuant to Section 10.1 above), Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, take good care of the Premises, including the, roof and spouting, all
passageways, sidewalks, curbs and vaults adjoining the Premises, and shall put
and keep the same in good order, condition and repair, and shall make all
non-structural repairs thereto, all as may be necessary to keep the Premises and
the fixtures, appurtenances, and installations therein contained in good order
and condition and in compliance with all Laws. When used in this Lease, the

                                       11
<PAGE>

term "repairs" shall include all replacements, renewals, and alterations, when
necessary and appropriate. All repairs made by Tenant shall be comparable in
quality and class to the original work. Tenant shall keep the Building
adequately heated during all months of the year when temperatures are below
freezing to prevent damage to the Building by freezing or heaving and further
shall make all repairs necessary to avoid any structural damage or injury to the
Premises whether caused by freezing or heaving, ordinary wear and tear or any
other reason. Tenant shall also keep and maintain all portions of the Premises,
and all passageways, roadways, entrances, curbs and sidewalks adjoining the
Premises, in a clean and orderly condition, reasonably free of accumulated dirt,
rubbish, snow and ice, and any other unlawful obstructions; and Tenant shall not
permit or suffer the overloading of any of the floors of the Building. Without
limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall not do, permit or suffer to be
committed any waste or damage, disfigurement or injury to the Premises, or any
part or portion thereof, except as expressly provided in this Article 10.

     10.3 Alterations. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant's anticipate
use of the Premises may require periodic remodeling and alterations of the
Premises to accommodate the varying needs of Tenant and/or its customers.
Landlord also has legitimate rights to approve ceratin changes to the Premises.
To balance these interest, the parties agree as follows:

          10.3.1 Work Not Requiring Consent. Tenant may at any time and from
     time to time do the following at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without
     obtaining the consent of Landlord

               (a) make changes, alteration, additions, restorations or
          improvements in, to or of the Tenant Equipage.

               (b) add or make changes to Tenant Improvements costing $100,000
          (as such sum may be adjusted as set forth below) or less, in any 12
          month period (herein collectively referred to as a "Tenant Improvement
          Alteration")

               (c) make non-structural alterations to Building Elements costing
          $50,000 (as such sum may be adjusted as set forth below) or less, in
          the any 12 month period (herein collectively referred to as a "Minor
          Building Alteration")

     The amount of Tenant Improvement Alterations and Minor Building Alterations
     which can be made without Landlord consent shall be increased from time to
     time in proportion to the increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index
     between the date of this Lease and the date the work is being performed.

          10.3.2 Work Requiring Consent. Tenant may not make any change,
     alteration, addition, restoration or improvement in, to or of the Building
     Elements other than Minor Building Alterations (herein collectively
     referred to as a "Major Building Alteration") without

                                       12
<PAGE>

     first, in each instance, obtaining the written consent of Landlord and
     compliance with the provisions of Section 10.3.3. below. Such consent shall
     not be unreasonably withheld unless in the reasonable opinion of Landlord,
     the Major Building Alteration would materially impair the structural
     integrity of the Building, or any part thereof, and shall not be withheld
     to the extent to which such an Building Alteration is in fact required to
     effect compliance with any Law. Before the commencement of any Major
     Building Alteration herein:

               (a) Tenant shall, except in emergency, give 60 days' prior
          written notice thereof to Landlord;

               (b) Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written approval of a
          licensed architect or a licensed professional engineer selected and
          paid for by Tenant who shall supervise any such Major Building
          Alteration; and

               (c) Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written approval of
          plans and specifications prepared by said approved architect or
          engineer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
          delayed. No such Major Building Alterations shall be made except such
          as are in all material respects in accordance with said plans and
          specifications. The reasonable cost and expense, if any, of reviewing
          the plans and specifications for each such Major Building Alteration,
          whether by Landlord, or by the holders of any first mortgage, if for
          any reason billed by them or by any of them to Landlord, shall be paid
          by Tenant to Landlord, as Additional Rent, forthwith upon demand.

          10.3.3 For purposes of this Section, Tenant Improvement Alterations,
     Minor Building Alterations and Major Building Alterations are collectively
     called "Alterations."

               (a) No Alteration shall be undertaken until Tenant shall have
          procured and paid for, so far as the same may be required from time to
          time, all permits and authorizations of any federal, state or
          municipal government or department, or subdivision of any of them,
          having or asserting jurisdiction. Landlord shall join in the
          application for such permits or authorizations, if and to the extent
          required, but at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

               (b) Any Alteration shall be made promptly and in a good and
          workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable permits and
          authorizations and building and zoning laws, and with all other Laws.

               (c) The cost of any Alteration shall be paid when due so that the
          Premises shall at all times be free of liens for labor and materials
          supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Premises and free
          from any encumbrances, chattel mortgages, conditional bills of sale,
          or security interests.

               (d) Whenever appropriate, the property insurance required to be
          maintained during the Lease Term shall be endorsed or supplemented to
          provide, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, during any period when
          Building Alterations are in progress, for builder's risk insurance.
          Workman's compensation insurance covering all persons employed in
          connection with the work and with respect to whom death or bodily
          injury claims could be asserted against Landlord, Tenant or the
          Premises, and comprehensive general public liability insurance,
          providing full coverage with respect to any accident, injury or
          occurrence involving, relating to, or arising during or as a result of
          such Building Alteration, naming Landlord and Tenant as insureds, with
          limits of not less than those required for commercial general
          liability insurance hereunder, shall be maintained by Tenant (or
          Tenant's independent contractor) at Tenant's (or at such contractor's)
          sole cost and expense at all times when any work is in progress in
          connection with any such Building Alteration.

               (e) No Alteration shall materially increase the height of the
          Building, or combine, tie-in or connect the Building and/or any other
          portion of the Premises, or any structure or improvement thereon
          erected or situated, with any other building or improvement located on
          any adjoining property; and Tenant shall in no event include or
          attempt to include the Premises with other properties in a common
          zoning lot under any zoning ordinance or related statute which may now
          or hereafter be applicable to the Premises in such respect.

                               Discharge of Liens
                               ------------------

     11.1 No Liens. If any lien for work performed or materials supplied after
the commencement of the Lease Term is filed against the Premises or Landlord's
or Tenant's interest therein, other than liens arising as a result of acts of
Landlord, Tenant shall bond over such lien or cause same to be discharged of
record within 30 days after notice of such filing. Tenant, at its sole expense,
shall defend the Premises and Landlord against all suits for the enforcement of
any such lien or any bond in lieu of such lien, and Tenant hereby indemnifies
Landlord against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense or liability resulting
from any such lien or suit. Should Tenant fail to so discharge any such lien,
Landlord may do so by payment, bond or otherwise on 30 days' written notice to
Tenant, and the amount paid or incurred therefor by Landlord shall be reimbursed
to Landlord by Tenant as Additional Rent upon demand, with interest from the
date of demand at the maximum rate of interest lawfully permitted to be
collected (limited to the rate of 18% per annum).

     11.2 Right to Contest. Tenant shall have the right to contest any such
mechanic's or other lien claim filed against the Premises or any part thereof if
Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of its intention so to do, diligently
prosecutes any such contest, at all times effectually stays or prevents any
official or judicial sale of the Premises under execution or otherwise, and pays
or otherwise satisfies any final

                                       14
<PAGE>

judgment adjudicating or enforcing such contested mechanic's or other lien and
thereafter promptly procures and records a satisfaction and release of same,
provided Tenant has deposited with Landlord a sum sufficient to cover the lien
so contested, plus interest, costs and attorneys' fees which will accrue during
the period of such contest.

     11.3 No Consent. Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to constitute the
consent or request of Landlord to any contractor, subcontractor or material
supplier for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for
any specific improvement to the Premises. Notice is hereby given that Landlord
has assumed no obligation and shall not be liable or responsible for or in
connection with any labor or materials hereafter furnished to Tenant, or to any
other party, whether on credit, or otherwise, and that no mechanic's or other
lien for any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the Premises, or
Landlord's reversionary interest and estate therein. Landlord shall have the
right to post and maintain on the Premises, notice of nonresponsibility under
the laws of the State of Minnesota.

                              Compliance with Laws
                              --------------------

     12.1 Compliance. Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, promptly remove of record any and all violations noted or
filed against the Premises, shall correct all conditions constituting
violations, and shall promptly comply with all present and future Laws and
directives of all federal, state and municipal governments, departments,
commissions, boards and officers, and all orders, rules and regulations of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters, or any other body or bodies exercising
similar functions, which may be applicable to the Premises and the sidewalks,
alleyways, passageways, curbs and vaults adjoining the Premises, or to the use
or manner of use of the Premises, or to the owners, tenants or occupants
thereof, whether or not any such Law or directive shall necessitate structural
changes or improvements, or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the
Premises.

     12.2 Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall likewise at Tenant's sole expense
observe and comply with the requirements of all policies of public liability and
property insurance, and all other policies of insurance at any time in force
with respect to the Premises, and Tenant shall, in the event of any violation or
any attempted violation of the provisions of this Article by any subtenant or
occupant, take all required steps, immediately upon knowledge of such violation
or attempted violation, to remedy or prevent the same, as the case may be.

                              Damage or Destruction
                              ---------------------

     13.1 Casualty. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Lease to the
contrary, in the event that the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire
or other casualty, whether or not covered by insurance, Tenant shall promptly
give written notice thereof to Landlord, and Tenant shall promptly

                                       15
<PAGE>

repair, restore, replace, or rebuild the same, as nearly as may be practicable,
to its condition and character immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
Such restoration, repairs, replacements, rebuilding or alterations shall be
commenced promptly and prosecuted with reasonable diligence, subject only to
unavoidable delays. The net insurance proceeds, if any, on account of such
damage or destruction to or of the Building Elements, and collected by Landlord
and/or Tenant shall be held in trust by Landlord or Landlord's designee and
shall be made available to Tenant as the work progresses (subject to periodic
delivery to Landlord of appropriate architect's certifications as to the cost of
the required work remaining until full completion, and title company
certifications as to the absence of any liens, or encumbrances relating to such
work) for use in making payments when due for the repairs, restoration or
replacement required under this Article 13, and pursuant to such controls and
subject to such approvals as Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee shall reasonably
require. If such insurance money shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of
such work, Tenant agrees to pay the deficiency. At any time after the completion
of such work, the balance of the insurance money not theretofore used pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this section shall be paid to Landlord or
Landlord's mortgagee as their interests shall appear.

     13.2 Restoration Controls. The provisions and conditions of Articles 9 and
10 shall apply to the repairs, restoration or replacement required to be
performed by Tenant under this Article 13.

     13.3 Option to Terminate. In the event (a) the Premises are damaged by
fire, explosion or other casualty insured under the fire and extended coverage
insurance policy required hereunder (an "Insured Casualty") to the extent that
such damage materially adversely affects Tenant's ability to use the Premises
for its business purposes and the Premises cannot be repaired, replaced and
restored by Tenant within 12 months from the date of the casualty, (b) the
Premises are damaged by a casualty or occurrence other than an Insured Casualty,
and Landlord elects not to rebuild at its cost, (c) such damage occurs at any
time within the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, or (d) the Premises
or any portion thereof, is damaged by fire, explosion or other casualty and the
Premises cannot be repaired, rebuilt or restored to substantially the same or
similar condition, under any applicable law, code, ordinance or other
governmental order or under any other agreement to which the Premises are
subject (a "Prohibited Casualty"), then in such event, Tenant may terminate this
Lease by giving Landlord written notice of termination within forty five (45)
days after the happening of the event causing the damage or the date Tenant
discovers the casualty was a Prohibited Casualty. In any such event, all Rent
payable hereunder shall be apportioned to the date of such damage or destruction
and Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain all insurance proceeds
relating to the Building Elements payable by reason of such occurrence.
Insurance proceeds relating to the Tenant Equipage payable by reason of such
occurrence shall be paid to and be the property of Tenant. Tenant shall also
have the right and option to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage
or destruction if the holder of any mortgage covering the Premises refuses to
make the net insurance proceeds available for restoration and Landlord also
refuses to provide such funds. Such option shall be exercised by Tenant giving
written notice thereof to Landlord within 30 days after Landlord notifies Tenant
that the funds will not be available.

                                       16
<PAGE>

     13.4 Release. Landlord releases Tenant from all claims, and all liability
or responsibility to Landlord and to anyone claiming through or under Landlord,
by way of subrogation or otherwise, for any loss or damage to the Building
caused by fire or other peril, even if such fire or other peril was caused in
whole or in part by the negligence or other act or omission of Tenant or its
agents or employees; provided, however, that this release and waiver of
subrogation shall (i) only be effective to the extent that the loss or damage is
covered by the insurance maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, (ii) not
apply to the extent of any deductible applicable to such insurance, and (iii)
only apply if such insurance includes a full release from liability and waiver
of subrogation privilege permitting the release and waiver contemplated by this
provision without jeopardizing the rights of Landlord to recover under such
insurance.

                                  Condemnation
                                  ------------

     14.1 Total Taking. If the entire Premises shall be condemned or taken
through or under the power of eminent domain, or if such a material portion of
the Premises is so taken that in the reasonable opinion of Tenant the
restoration of the remaining portions of the Premises for the uses thereof at
the time of such partial taking is economically unfeasible, this Lease and the
term hereof shall cease and terminate upon the date of the vesting of title in
the condemning authority, and all Rent, Impositions and other Additional Rent
hereunder shall be apportioned to such date of termination, and any payments
theretofore made in advance by Tenant shall be refunded ratably to Tenant.
Landlord shall be entitled in such event to receive the entire award for the
Land and Building Elements so taken or condemned which may be made in such
condemnation proceeding, and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any portion
thereof. Tenant hereby assigns and transfers to Landlord any and all claims to
such award and waives and relinquishes any right to make any claim for an award
for the value of this Lease, or otherwise; provided, however, that Tenant shall
be permitted to make separate claims for all Tenant Equipage, and for relocation
expenses and allowances, to the extent available.

     14.2 Partial Taking. If less than such a material portion of the Premises
shall be taken or condemned, as aforesaid, this Lease shall continue and shall
remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that the Base Rent hereunder
shall thereafter be reduced in an equitable manner in proportion to the
reduction in value of the Premises for Tenant's use. The Base Rent shall be
reduced to the product obtained when the Base Rent otherwise payable hereunder
is multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total floor
area of the Building (expressed in square feet) remaining following the
condemnation and restoration, and the denominator of which shall be the total
floor area thereof (expressed in square feet) upon the Commencement Date. Such
reduction in Base Rent shall first become effective as of the first day of the
month next succeeding the date of vesting of title in the condemning authority,
and shall not in any event diminish, reduce or abate the Impositions, Additional
Rent and other charges payable hereunder by Tenant. In the event of such a
partial condemnation, Tenant shall promptly make, or cause to be made, all
demolition, repairs, reconstruction, restoration,

                                       17
<PAGE>

replacement or rebuilding and all other work necessary, as nearly as may be
practicable, to restore the Building Elements to the utility and condition
immediately prior to such taking (and including any new parking areas and/or
demolition of the existing Building, to the extent the same may be reasonably
necessary to accommodate Tenant's use of the Premises after the condemnation).
The net proceeds of the award in respect of such partial taking or condemnation,
after the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
collection of such award, shall be paid over to Landlord, and shall be held in
trust by Landlord or Landlord's designee and shall be made available to Tenant
as work progresses (subject to periodic delivery to Landlord of appropriate
architect's certifications as to the cost of the required work remaining until
full completion, and title company certifications as to the absence of any
liens, or encumbrances relating to such work) for use in making payments when
due for the demolition, repairs, restoration or replacement required under this
Article 14, and pursuant to such controls and subject to such approvals as
Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee shall reasonably require. If such proceeds
shall be insufficient to pay the entire cost of such work, Tenant agrees to pay
the deficiency. At any time after the completion of such work, the balance of
the proceeds not theretofore used pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
section shall be paid to Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee as their interests
shall appear.

     14.3 Temporary Taking. If the whole or any part of Tenant's estate or
interest under this Lease shall be taken or condemned by any governmental agency
or authority for its temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate
by reason thereof, and Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and at the
times herein specified, the Base Rent, the Impositions and all other Additional
Rent, and all other charges payable by Tenant hereunder, without any abatement
or reduction thereof, and, except only to the extent that Tenant may be
prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning
authority, Tenant shall perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants,
conditions and obligations hereof upon the part of Tenant to be performed and
observed, as though such taking had not occurred. Tenant shall be entitled to
receive the entire award paid for or in connection with such a taking, whether
by way of damages, as rent, or otherwise, so long as Tenant shall not be in
default hereunder; provided, however, that if the award is paid in a lump sum,
or shall be payable less frequently than in monthly installments, the award
shall be paid to and held jointly by Landlord and Tenant, in Landlord's and
Tenant's names, in an interest-bearing account with a commercial banking
organization designated by Landlord and such award shall be applied as follows:

          (a) If the award shall be made in a lump sum, it shall be divided by
     the number of months included in the period of such temporary use or
     occupancy and, so long as Tenant shall not be in default hereunder, an
     amount equal to the quotient shall be paid over to Tenant monthly; and

          (b) If the award or awards shall be paid less frequently than in
     monthly installments, each such installment shall be divided by the number
     of months to which it is attributable and, so long as Tenant shall not be
     in default hereunder, an amount equal to the quotient shall be paid over to
     Tenant monthly;

                                       18
<PAGE>

provided, however, that if such period of temporary use or occupancy shall
extend beyond the expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord shall be entitled to
receive and retain the amount of the award attributable to the period subsequent
to the expiration of the Lease Term. Upon the termination of any such period of
temporary use or occupancy, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore
the Premises, as nearly as may be practicable, to the condition thereof
immediately prior to such taking.

     15.1 Assignment by Tenant. No assignment of this Lease or sublease of the
Premises or any part thereof shall be deemed a release of Tenant, which shall
continue to be jointly, severally, unconditionally and primarily liable for
payment and performance of all obligations hereunder with any assignee.

     15.2 Assignment by Landlord. In the event that Landlord, or any successor
owner of the Premises, or the lessee under any ground or underlying lease, or
any holder of Landlord's interest in this Lease, or any fee owner of all or any
portion of the Premises (or the owner of any interest or estate therein), shall
convey or otherwise dispose of such title, interest or estate, or shall assign
Landlord's interest in this Lease to any ground or underlying lessee, then all
liabilities and obligations thereafter accruing or maturing on the part of
Landlord or any such successor-owner of the Premises, or former holder of
Landlord's interest under this Lease, or former fee owner of the Premises or any
interest or estate therein, shall cease and terminate, and each successor-owner
of the Premises or holder of Landlord's interests under this Lease, shall,
without further agreement, be bound by Landlord's covenants and obligations, but
only during the respective periods of the ownership by such parties; and Tenant
shall continue to be bound by this Lease, and shall recognize the successor to
Landlord's interests as the Landlord hereunder.

     such default is not cured within 10 days after written notice thereof given
     by Landlord; or

          16.1.2 If Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any of the
     terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease on Tenant's part
     to be performed (other than the covenants for the payment of Rent) and such
     default is not cured within 30 days after written notice thereof given by
     Landlord; or if such default shall be of such nature that it cannot be
     cured completely within said 30 day period, if Tenant shall not have
     promptly commenced

                                       19

     curing such default within such period and shall not thereafter proceed
     with reasonable diligence and dispatch and in good faith to remedy such
     default; or

          16.1.3 If Tenant shall be adjudicated a bankrupt, shall make a general
     assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or invoke the benefit of any
     insolvency act, or if a permanent receiver or trustee in bankruptcy be
     appointed for Tenant's property and such appointment is not vacated within
     90 days; or

     16.2 Termination. If Landlord shall give the 30 days' notice of termination
provided in Section 16.1, then, upon the expiration of such 30 day period, this
Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to
Landlord. If this Lease shall so terminate, it shall be lawful for Landlord, at
its option, without formal demand or notice of any kind, to re-enter the
Premises by summary dispossession proceedings, or by any other lawful means, and
to remove Tenant therefrom without being liable for any damages therefor.

     16.3 Remedies. Notwithstanding such termination as provided in Section
16.2, and such re-entry by Landlord, or in the event Landlord shall dispossess
Tenant by summary proceedings, or otherwise, the obligations of Tenant shall
survive and Tenant shall remain liable for all of its obligations hereunder for
the balance of the Lease Term, and shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and
expenses as Landlord may reasonably sustain or incur for attorneys' and
accountants' fees and disbursements, brokerage fees, and/or putting the Premises
in good order, and for preparing the same for re-rental; and Landlord may re-let
the Premises, or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord, or
as agent for Tenant, on such conditions and for such term or terms as Landlord
may deem advisable, if Landlord so elects, which terms may at Landlord's option
be less than or exceed the unexpired period which would otherwise have
constituted the remainder of the Lease Term; and Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord, as damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform this
Lease, and Tenant's undertakings and obligations hereunder, any deficiency
(herein called the "deficiency") between the Rent hereby reserved and/or
covenanted to be paid, including all Impositions and other charges required to
be paid by Tenant hereunder, and the net amounts, if any, of the rents collected
on account of such re-lettings of the Premises for each month of the period
which would otherwise have constituted the unexpired Lease Term, if this Lease
had remained in effect. Landlord agrees to exercise good faith efforts to
mitigate its damages hereunder. Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord
monthly, in advance, on the days on which the Rent would have been payable under
this Lease if this Lease were still in effect, and Landlord shall be entitled to
recover from Tenant each monthly deficiency as the same shall arise or accrue.
At any time after any such expiration or termination, whether or not Landlord
shall have collected any monthly deficiencies, Landlord shall be entitled to
recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as and for
liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default, an amount equal to the
then present worth (computed using 10% per annum as the discount factor) of the
excess of the Rent, Impositions and other charges reserved under this Lease from
the date of such expiration or termination for what would have been the then
unexpired Lease Term if the

                                       20
<PAGE>

same had remained in effect, above the then fair market rental value of the
Premises for the same period.

     16.4 No Release. The remedies of Landlord and Tenant provided in this Lease
are cumulative and shall not exclude any other remedies to which either may be
lawfully entitled. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance
by the other of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be a
waiver of such term, covenant or condition by the non-objecting party for the
future. The acceptance by Landlord of the payment of fewer than three monthly
installments of Rent after notice of an Event of Default to state of affairs
which, but for the giving of notice and/or passage or time would be an Event of
Default is received by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of such Event of
Default or state of affairs.

     16.5 Costs; Interest. In the event it is necessary to commence an action to
enforce the terms hereof, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled
to its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, including those incurred at the
appellate level. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for interest on all sums not
paid to Landlord when due hereunder from the date due until paid at the rate of
10% per annum, or such lesser rate as shall be the maximum permitted by law.

to Article 7 above. Tenant shall have the right from time to time to pledge the
Tenant Equipage and/or grant security interests in the Tenant Equipage to its
lender(s) and Landlord agrees to execute such Lessors' Agreements, Landlord
Waivers or other agreements as may be required by such lender(s) in connection
with any lending secured thereby.

     18.1 Lease Subordinate. This Lease shall be and it hereby is made, and
shall at all times be and remain, subject and subordinate to the lien of any
duly recorded first mortgage, whether heretofore or hereafter made, affecting or
encumbering the Premises, and to all extensions, renewals, modifications or
replacements thereof; provided that provisions substantially as follows with
respect to this subordination shall be contained in such mortgage (or in a
separate instrument), and at all times duly observed by the holder thereof,
namely that so long as this Lease has not been terminated by reason of any
default by Tenant hereunder, and so long as Tenant is not in default in the
payment of Rent or any Imposition or other charge payable by Tenant as in this
Lease provided, Tenant shall not (unless required by law) be made a party to any
action or proceeding to foreclose any such mortgage, or to

                                       22
<PAGE>

any judgment of foreclosure and sale, and Tenant's use, possession, tenancy and
occupancy hereunder shall remain undisturbed and shall survive any such action,
proceeding, order or judgment and the proceeds of all insurance and/or
condemnation affecting the Premises shall be applied as herein provided.

     18.2 Attornment. The subordination of this Lease and Tenant's rights
hereunder, as provided in Section 18.1, shall be effective without the execution
of any further or other instruments by Tenant, but Tenant shall, at Landlord's
request, and without charge therefor to Landlord, execute and deliver any
further document or instrument to evidence the subordination of this Lease to
such mortgage as shall comply with the provisions of Section 18.1; and, to the
extent requested by the holder of any such mortgage, Tenant shall execute and
deliver such instruments and documents as shall confirm Tenant's undertaking and
agreement hereunder to attorn under the terms and provisions of this Lease to
such a mortgagee, or to the designee or nominee of such mortgagee, or to the
purchaser of the mortgaged premises at a foreclosure sale, or at a sale of the
premises pursuant to such power of sale as may be contained in such mortgage,
and to recognize such mortgagee, its designee or nominee, or such purchaser, as
the Landlord hereunder from and after the date of such a transfer of title, with
the same force and effect as if the Premises had been sold or conveyed to such
new landlord by the prior landlord hereunder.

                   Entry by Landlord; Performance of Covenants
                   -------------------------------------------

     19.1 Entry. Tenant shall permit Landlord or its agents to enter the
Premises during normal business hours (and at any time in cases of emergency)
(i) for the purpose of inspection thereof, (ii) for showing the Premises to
persons wishing to purchase the same, or in connection with mortgage or other
financing, and (iii) at any time within 12 months prior to the expiration of the
Lease Term, for exhibition to persons wishing to rent the same.

     19.2 Cure of Covenants. If Tenant shall be in default hereunder, Landlord
may, with or without declaring an "Event of Default", upon 10 days' prior notice
to Tenant, or without notice in case of an emergency, cure such default on
behalf of Tenant (unless Tenant shall itself, within such period, commence and
thereafter diligently proceed to cure such default), and for the purpose thereof
may enter upon the Premises, and upon demand Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
any reasonable and necessary expenses incurred to effect such cure, together
with interest thereon at the maximum rate which may be legally collected by
Landlord (not to exceed 18% per annum).

     19.3 No Eviction. No entry of Landlord or its employees, agents or
representatives, or by any other party at the direction of Landlord, shall ever
be construed or interpreted as an ouster of Tenant from possession or as a
constructive eviction or to alter, diminish or abate Landlord's rights or
Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

Landlord, Tenant shall pay as monthly Base Rent 110% of the Base Rent applicable

     22.3 Binding Effect. The terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein
contained shall run with the Premises and shall bind and inure to the benefit of

or unenforceable, the remainder hereof shall remain unaffected thereby and shall
continue in full force and effect.

     22.6 Interpretation. It is acknowledged that in preparation of this Lease,

broker or agent with whom such party may have dealt with regard to such sale,
this Lease or the Premises.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have each duly executed this Lease
as of the date and year first above written.
