     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein,
the  Parties  agree  as  follows.

1.0  INTRODUCTION
     ------------

1.1
This  Amendment  sets forth the terms, conditions, rates and charges under which
Ameritech agreed to provide, as part of the Section 271 collaborative process in
Michigan,  existing  and  new  combinations of UNEs ("Combinations") in order to
facilitate  its  in-region  interLATA  approval.

1.2
Unless  otherwise  defined  herein,  capitalized  terms  shall have the meanings
assigned  to  such  terms  in  the  Agreement.

1.3
Except  as  provided  in  this  Amendment,  during  the  term of this Amendment,
Ameritech  will  not  discontinue,  as  to CLEC, any Combination offered to CLEC
hereunder.  This  Section  is not intended to impair Ameritech's ability to make
changes  to  its  Network,  so  long  as  such changes are not inconsistent with
applicable  law  and  do  not  result  in the discontinuance of the offerings of
Combinations  by  Ameritech  to CLEC as set forth herein during the term of this
Amendment.

1.4
This  Amendment  includes  and  incorporates  herein  the  Agreement,  and  all
accompanying and effective Appendices, Addenda and Exhibits to the Agreement. To
the extent there is a conflict or inconsistency between the terms, conditions or
prices  in  this  Amendment,  including the attached Appendix entitled, Pricing,
271-Existing  and  New Combinations, dated March 29, 2001, (hereinafter referred
to as "Pricing Appendix-Combinations") and those contained in the Agreement, and
all  accompanying  effective  Appendices, Addenda and Exhibits to the Agreement,
the  terms,  conditions  and  prices  in  this Amendment, including the attached
Pricing  Appendix-Combinations,  will  control  and  apply.

2.0  AMENDMENT  TO  THE  AGREEMENT

On  and  after  the  Effective Date of this Amendment, as defined in Section 3.0
below,  the Agreement  is  hereby  amended  by  adding  the  following:

2.1  UNE  COMBINATION  PROVISIONS

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                          Page 3
                                                                          032901

     2.1.1
     Except as modified below in Sections 2.2.5, 2.2.6 and 2.3, Ameritech agrees
     to  make  the  network  elements  Combinations  set forth in this Amendment
     available to CLEC for the term of this Amendment, as defined in Section 4.0
     below,  on  the  terms  and  at  the  prices  provided  in  this Amendment.

     2.1.2
     As  provided  herein,  Ameritech  will  make  available  the  following
     Combinations: i) preexisting or already assembled combinations of unbundled
     local loops, unbundled local switching ports and shared transport, known as
     pre-existing UNE Platform or UNE-P; ii) new or newly assembled combinations
     of  certain  unbundled  local  loops,  unbundled  Local switching ports and
     shared transport, known as New UNE-P; and iii) certain pre-existing and new
     or  newly  assembled  combinations  of  unbundled local loops and dedicated
     interoffice transport, known as Enhanced Extended Loop or EELs. As provided
     in  Section 2.2.3.4 below, these Combinations are in addition to the CLEC's
     ability  to  obtain  access  to unbundled network elements in a manner that
     enables  the  CLEC  to  combine such elements to provide telecommunications
     services.

     2.1.3
     The  definitions,  terms  and  conditions related to Unbundled Local Loops,
     Unbundled  Local  Switching  with Shared Transport ("ULS-ST") and Unbundled
     Dedicated Transport Facilities described in the Agreement shall continue to
     apply  as  long as provided as part of a Combination. If the Agreement does
     not  contain terms and conditions for ULS-ST, the Agreement will be amended
     to  be  consistent  with the terms and conditions in M.P.S.C. No. 20R, Part
     19,  Section  21.

     2.1.4
     All  rates  and  charges  related to Unbundled Local Loops, Unbundled Local
     Switching  with  Shared  Transport,  and  Unbundled  Dedicated  Transport
     Facilities  contained  in  the Agreement shall continue to apply as long as
     provided  as part of a Combination. If the Agreement does not contain rates
     and charges for ULS-ST, the Agreement will be amended to be consistent with
     the  rates  and  charges in M.P.S.C. No 20R, Part 19, Section 21 consistent
     with  Orders  arising  from Case No. U-12622, including, but not limited to
     any  appeals,  and  subject  to the change of law provisions of the general
     terms  and  conditions  of  this  Agreement.

2.2  PRE-EXISTING  AND  NEW  UNE-P

     2.2.1  PRODUCT  OFFERING

          2.2.1.1
          Ameritech  will,  except  as  provided  elsewhere in this Section 2.2,
          provide  combinations  of  network  elements  to  CLEC consistent with
          Ameritech's  obligations  in  this Amendment at the applicable charges
          set  forth  in  this Amendment and Pricing Appendix- Combinations. For
          preexisting  or  already  assembled  Combinations,  where  no  work is
          required  by  Ameritech  in order to establish connections between the
          requested  elements

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                          Page 4
                                                                          032901

          at  the  central  office,  an  outside plant location, or the customer
          premises, Ameritech will apply the non-recurring and recurring charges
          applicable  to  the  elements  included  in  the  combination, and the
          applicable  service order charges as specified in the attached Pricing
          Appendix-Combinations.  Such combinations may be referred to elsewhere
          in  this  Amendment  as  "pre-existing"  or  "already  assembled"
          Combinations  and include all orders included within the definition of
          "Contiguous  Interconnection  of Network Elements" in sections 2.2.1.2
          and  2.2.1.3,  below.

          For  new  assemblies  of  UNE  combinations  that  are  not within the
          above-referenced  definition of "Contiguous Interconnection of Network
          Elements"  and  that  require  manual  work  by  Ameritech in order to
          establish  connections  between  the requested elements at the central
          office,  an  outside  plant  location,  or  the customer premises, the
          applicable  recurring  and  nonrecurring  charges  and  service  order
          charges  will apply as specified in the Pricing Appendix-Combinations.
          Such  combinations  may  be referred to elsewhere in this Agreement as
          "new"  or  "newly  assembled"  combinations. There are three New UNE-P
          combinations  offered  under  this  Amendment.  CLECs may request that
          Ameritech  combine  the following unbundled loop and port combinations
          in  conjunction  with  shared  transport  for  the  New  UNE-P:

               -  2-Wire  Basic  Analog  Loop  combined  with  Basic  Line  Port
               -  2-Wire  160  kbps  (ISDN-BRI)  Digital Loop combined with ISDN
               Direct  Port
               -  4-Wire  Digital  Loop  combined  with  Digital  Trunk  Port.

          2.2.1.2
          When  CLEC  orders Unbundled Network Elements or Combinations that are
          pre-existing  or already assembled, interconnected or functional, such
          Elements  and  Combinations  will  remain interconnected or functional
          without  any  disconnection and without loss of feature capability and
          without  loss  of associated Ancillary Functions, if applicable. These
          will  be  known as Contiguous Interconnection of Network Elements. The
          charge  for  such  pre-existing  Combination  shall  be the sum of the
          recurring  charges  applicable  to  the  elements  included  in  the
          Combination,  and the applicable service order charges as specified in
          this  Amendment  and  the  Pricing  Appendix-Combinations.

          2.2.1.3
          "Contiguous  Interconnection  of  Network  Elements" includes, without
          limitation, the situation when CLEC orders all the Ameritech Unbundled
          Network  Elements required either (1) to convert an Ameritech end-user
          customer,  another CLEC pre-existing UNEP end-user customer, or a CLEC
          resale end-user customer to a pre-existing UNE-P, or (2) to activate a
          pre-existing  combination of Unbundled Network Elements to provision a
          UNE-P  for  such requesting CLEC (a) without any change in features or
          functionality  that  was  being provided by Ameritech (or by CLEC on a
          resale  basis)  at  the time of the order, or (b) with only the change
          needed  to  route  the  customer's  operator  service  and  directory
          assistance  ("OS/DA")  calls to the CLEC OS/DA platform via customized
          routing,  and/or  (c)  with  only  changes needed in order to change a
          local switching feature, e.g., call waiting, and/or (d) with only work
          or  changes  needed  to  activate  the  pre-existing

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                          Page 5
                                                                          032901

          combination  of Unbundled Network Elements to provision a UNE-P. (This
          2.2.1.3(b) section only applies to orders involving customized routing
          after  customized  routing  has  been  established  to  an  CLEC OS/DA
          platform  from  the  relevant Ameritech local switch, including CLEC's
          payment  of  all  applicable charges to establish that routing.) There
          will  be  no  interruption  of  service  to  the  end-user customer in
          connection  with orders covered by this section, except for processing
          time  that  is technically necessary to execute the appropriate recent
          change  order  in  the  Ameritech  local  switch. Ameritech will treat
          recent  change  orders  necessary  to provision CLEC orders under this
          section  at  parity  with  recent  change  orders  executed  to  serve
          Ameritech end-user customers, in terms of scheduling necessary service
          interruptions  so  as to minimize inconvenience to end-user customers.

     2.2.2  GENERAL  TERMS  RELATED  TO  UNE-P  COMBINATION

          2.2.2.1
          The  unbundled  network  elements  provided  in  this  Amendment  are
          exclusively  for  use  by  CLEC,  as a "telecommunications carrier" in
          providing  "telecommunication  services."  Ameritech  will  provide
          sufficient  unbundled  network element capacity to meet CLEC's network
          unbundling  needs  where  technically  feasible and in compliance with
          applicable  law.  Where  insufficient  capacity  exists  to  meet  the
          requesting  CLEC's technically feasible network unbundling needs, CLEC
          may  request  that  additional  capacity  be  added via the "Bona Fide
          Request"  or Facility Modification and Construction Process, whichever
          is  applicable.

          2.2.2.2
          Pre-Existing  and newly assembled UNE-P shall only be provided to CLEC
          for  use in the provision of telecommunications services as specified,
          and  to  the  extent required by and subject to the Telecommunications
          Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56 (1996) ("the Act"), the
          rules,  regulations,  and  orders  of  the  Federal  Communications
          Commission  ("FCC")  and the Commission, and any other applicable law.

          2.2.2.3
          The  following  representations  and commitments apply to pre-existing
          and  newly assembled UNE-P Combinations provided under this Amendment:

               -  Collocation,  as defined in the Agreement, is not required for
               access  to  existing  or  new  UNE-P.

               -  Ameritech  will  offer  to  provide its OS/DA at tariff or, if
               applicable,  just  and  reasonable  market based rates negotiated
               between  Ameritech and CLEC, for use by CLEC with existing or new
               UNE-P.

               -  Branding  of  CLEC's OS/DA traffic routed to Ameritech's OS/DA
               platform(s)  shall  be  provided,  upon  request,  using  Service
               Provider  Identification  (SPID).

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                          Page 6
                                                                          032901

               -  Non-Telecommunications Services shall not be included with the
               provision  of  existing  or  new UNE-P. This includes, but is not
               limited  to,  voice  mail,  inside  wire  maintenance,  customer
               premises  equipment  and  calling card services. Notwithstanding,
               effective  as  of  March  1,  2001,  Ameritech makes available an
               optional  and  separate voicemail arrangement for existing or new
               UNE-P,  at  marketbased  prices,  pursuant  to  a  separate
               non-telecommunications  service  agreement,  outside the scope of
               sections  251,  252  or  271  of  the  1996  Act.

               -  CLEC  agrees  that  it  has elected to obtain the Combinations
               offered under this Amendment, on the terms, conditions and prices
               contained herein. CLEC also expressly waives its rights to obtain
               any of the same Combinations from any applicable Ameritech tariff
               offering  during  the  term  of  this  Amendment, and agrees that
               during  such  time  this Amendment will be the exclusive means of
               obtaining  Combinations  from  Ameritech.

          2.2.2.4
          The  features,  functions,  and  capabilities  for  unbundled  local
          switching  with  shared transport provided as part of pre-existing and
          new  UNE-P  will be provided as set forth in the Agreement (which will
          be amended to be consistent with Section 21, Unbundled Local Switching
          with  Shared  Transport).  Ameritech  will  be  responsible  for  the
          engineering,  provisioning,  and  maintenance  and  repair  of  the
          underlying  equipment  and facilities that are used to provide ULS-ST.

     2.2.3  ORDERING  AND  PROVISIONING

          2.2.3.1
          Ameritech  will  provide  CLEC with electronic access for pre-ordering
          capabilities  and  service  order  requests  for  pre-existing and new
          UNE-P.  Application  of  service  order types and applicable rates are
          addressed  in  the  attached  Pricing  Appendix-Combinations.

          2.2.3.2
          Ameritech shall provide nondiscriminatory access to operations support
          systems  on  an  unbundled  basis  to  CLEC  for  the  provision  of a
          telecommunications  service.  Operations  support  system  functions
          consist  of  pre-ordering,  ordering,  provisioning,  maintenance  and
          repair,  and  billing functions supported by Ameritech's databases and
          information.  Ameritech,  as part of its duty to provide access to the
          pre-ordering function, provides requesting telecommunications carriers
          with  nondiscriminatory  access to the same detailed information about
          the  loop  that  is  available  to  itself.

          2.2.3.3
          The  service installation for each specific pre-existing and new UNE-P
          combination  is provided at parity with the comparable retail service.

          2.2.3.4
          Ameritech  will  provide CLEC access to the Unbundled Network Elements
          provided  for  in  this  Amendment,  including combinations of Network
          Elements,  without  restriction

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                          Page 7
                                                                          032901

          except  as  provided in this Amendment. CLEC is not required to own or
          control  any  of  its  own  local  exchange  facilities  before it can
          purchase  or  use  Unbundled  Network  Elements  to  provide  a
          telecommunications  service under this Amendment. Ameritech will allow
          CLEC to order each Network Element individually or in combination with
          any  other  Network  Elements,  pursuant to the Agreement, in order to
          permit  CLEC  to  combine  such  Network  Elements  with other Network
          Elements  obtained  from Ameritech or with network components provided
          by  itself  or by third parties to provide telecommunications services
          to  its  customers,  provided  that  such  combination  is technically
          feasible  and would not impair the ability of other carriers to obtain
          access  to  other  unbundled  network elements or to interconnect with
          Ameritech's  network.  Any  request by CLEC for Ameritech to provide a
          type  of  connection  between  Network  Elements that is not currently
          being  utilized in the Ameritech network and is not otherwise provided
          for under this Agreement will be made in accordance with the Bona Fide
          Request  process  described  in  the  Agreement.

          2.2.3.5
          When  CLEC  orders specific Unbundled Network Elements in combination,
          Ameritech  will  provide  the  requested  elements  with  all  the
          functionality,  and  with at least the same quality of performance and
          operations  systems  support  (ordering,  provisioning,  maintenance,
          billing and recording) that Ameritech provides through its own network
          to  its  local exchange service customers receiving equivalent service
          using  the  same  combination. For example, pre-existing and new UNE-P
          ordered  by  CLEC  for  local  exchange  service will include, without
          limitation,  MLT  testing,  real  time  due  date assignment, dispatch
          scheduling,  service turn-up without interruption of customer service,
          and  speed  and  quality  of  maintenance,  at parity with Ameritech's
          delivery  of  service  to  its local exchange service customers served
          through  equivalent  Ameritech  loop and switch ports. Network element
          combinations  provided  to CLEC by Ameritech will meet all performance
          criteria  and  measurements  that  Ameritech  achieves  when providing
          equivalent  end  user service to its local exchange service customers.

          2.2.3.6
          CLEC  may request Ameritech to disconnect and reconnect local exchange
          service  on  designated  line(s)  for  which CLEC provides residential
          service  via  UNE-P.  Disconnection  and  reconnection of CLEC's basic
          residential end users will be handled in a manner that enables CLEC to
          comply with Rules 85 and 86, subject to the CLEC's compliance with the
          notice  and timing provisions in Rules 84 and 85, in Billing Standards
          for  Basic  Residential  Telecommunications Service, as ordered by the
          Commission.

          2.2.3.7
          Technical  References  for  the  unbundled network elements comprising
          Existing  UNE-P  can be found in the Agreement or in M.P.S.C. No. 20R,

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                          Page 8

          2.2.4.1  Existing  UNE-P  Combinations
          All  nonrecurring  and  recurring charges as specified in the attached
          Pricing  Appendix- Combinations for "existing" UNE-P apply to existing
          UNE-P  for  the  particular  elements  that  comprise the Combination.

          2.2.4.2  New  UNE-P  Combinations
          All  recurring  and  nonrecurring charges as specified in the attached
          Pricing  Appendix- Combinations for "new" UNE-P apply to New UNE-P for
          the  particular  elements  requested  as  part  of  the  Combination.

     2.2.5  FOR  SERVICE  TO  BUSINESS  CUSTOMERS

     Until March 28, 2003, which is a period of two years after the Commission's
     Order  in Case No. U-12320 approving the general terms of this Amendment as
     described  in  Section 3.1 became effective, Ameritech will provide to CLEC
     the existing UNE-P and new UNE-P combinations as provided in this Amendment
     during the Term of this Amendment without change notwithstanding subsequent
     changes  in  law.  Provided,  however,  that  if  a  subsequent  final  and
     nonappealable  judicial  decision  or FCC order modifies the obligations of
     incumbent  LECs  regarding  combinations of network elements, including but
     not  limited  to  the  precise  demarcation  point between new and existing
     combinations,  the  parties  reserve  their  rights  to seek an appropriate
     modification  of  this  Amendment  and  shall  negotiate  in  good faith an
     appropriate  modification  to  conform  this  Amendment to such decision or
     order, subject to resolution by the Commission if the parties are unable to
     reach  agreement. For purposes of this Section, Business Customers shall be
     defined  as  described in M.P.S.C. No. 20R, Part 2, Section 2 "Location and
     Use  of  Telephone  Service." Beginning on the date that is two years after
     such Commission approval, the modifications set forth in paragraphs 2.2.5.1
     and  following  may  be  adopted  by  Ameritech:

          2.2.5.1
          If  the  FCC  or  the  Commission  determines  after this Amendment is
          executed  by  the  Parties  or has determined before this Amendment is
          executed  by  the  Parties  that a certain network element need not be
          provided  under Section 251(c)(3) of the FTA, either statewide or in a
          particular  location or locations, Ameritech may set the price of such
          network  element(s)  at  a  market  level  for  the  applicable areas.
          Ameritech  will provide 60 days' notice (in accordance with the Notice
          provision  in  the  General Terms and Conditions of this Agreement) to
          CLEC  that  the  FCC  or the Commission has made such a determination.
          Ameritech  will  include  in  the  notice the specifics of any pricing
          changes  and  the  implementation  dates  for  the  pricing  changes
          applicable  to  CLEC.  Existing  nonrecurring prices will apply to any
          UNEs  for  which  orders  are  received  prior  to midnight on the day
          preceding  the  date  specified for the pricing change. Application of
          the  market  level  nonrecurring  prices will apply beginning at 12:01
          a.m.  on  the  date  specified  for implementation. Application of the
          market  level  recurring charges will apply beginning at 12:01 a.m. on
          the  date  specified  for implementation without regard to the time or
          date  the  orders  were  received  by Ameritech. A market price set by
          Ameritech

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                          Page 9
                                                                          032901

          pursuant  to this paragraph will not be subject to review, approval or
          disapproval  by  the  Commission.

          2.2.5.2
          If  the FCC or a court modifies or has modified the TELRIC methodology
          applicable  to  unbundled  network  elements,  Ameritech  and CLEC may
          renegotiate  the  applicable  prices  for  unbundled  network elements
          provided  pursuant  to  Section  251(c)(3)  of Title 47, United States
          Code.  If  the  Parties  are  unable  to reach agreement on applicable
          prices  within  135  days  of  the  request  by  either Party for such
          negotiations,  either  Party  may  submit  remaining  disputes  to the
          Commission for arbitration. The scope of renegotiation and arbitration
          of  prices  under this section will be limited to the scope of the FCC
          or  court  modification  of  the TELRIC methodology to the extent that
          such  methodology  was  relied  upon  in setting the unbundled network
          element  rates  in  this  Amendment, and further limited to the impact
          that  the  modification of the TELRIC methodology would have had if it
          had  been  in  effect  at  the  time the UNE prices applicable to this
          Amendment  were established. Pending the establishment of any modified
          prices  by  Commission  arbitration  award  or  Commission approval of
          negotiated  modifications, the prices set forth in this Amendment will
          apply,  but will be subject to true-up back to the end of the two year
          period  described  above  in  2.2.5 at the request of either party and
          subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Commission.

          2.2.5.3
          In  those  Ameritech  central offices where there are four (4) or more
          CLECs  collocated for which Ameritech has provided UNEs, Ameritech may
          elect  to  not  combine  UNEs  that  are  not already combined in that
          central  office,  i.e.,  "new"  combinations  as  defined  in  section
          2.2.1.1. In that event, Ameritech will request that CLEC provide a one
          (1)  year  forecast  of  its  expected demand for UNEs in that central
          office  that  CLEC  will  combine  outside  of its existing or planned
          collocation  arrangements. Within sixty (60) days of receipt of CLEC's
          forecast, Ameritech will construct a secured frame room in the central
          office  or,  if space is not available, external cross connect cabinet
          until  space  becomes available in the central office at no additional
          cost  to  CLEC  where  CLEC  may  combine UNEs. If CLEC submits such a
          forecast,  Ameritech  will  continue to combine UNEs until the secured
          frame  room  or  external  cross  connect cabinet is made available to
          CLEC.  However,  if at any time after a secured frame room or external
          cross  connect  cabinet is made available, Ameritech is unable to meet
          CLEC's  forecasted demand for UNEs to be combined through use of these
          arrangements  due  to  a  lack  of  capacity,  Ameritech  will  resume
          combining  UNEs  for CLEC on new combination orders until capacity can
          be  provided.  If CLEC fails to submit such a forecast, Ameritech will
          no  longer combine UNEs that are not already combined. CLEC can access
          the secured frame or the external cross-connect cabinet without having
          to  collocate.

               2.2.5.3.1
               When a CLEC orders elements for combining at the secured frame or
               cabinet, Ameritech will cross-connect those elements to the frame
               or  cabinet  at  no  additional  charge  to  the CLEC, beyond the
               recurring  and  non-recurring  charges  provided for the elements
               themselves  under  this  Amendment  (e.g.,  for  a  loop and port
               combination,

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                         Page 10
                                                                          032901

               Ameritech will cross-connect the loop and the port to the secured
               frame  or cabinet, and the CLEC will pay applicable recurring and
               non-recurring  charges for the loop and the port, but there is no
               charge  for use of the frame or cabinet and no charge for a cross
               connect  from  loop  to  frame/cabinet  or  from  port  to
               frame/cabinet).

               2.2.5.3.2
               Ameritech and CLEC shall negotiate a mutually agreeable method of
               wiring for cross-connects at the secured frame or cabinet. During
               such  period  of negotiation or until a mutually agreeable method
               of wiring is established, the CLEC may obtain from Ameritech, the
               combining services for Network Elements at a non-recurring charge
               to  be  set  by  Ameritech  at any amount not to exceed (TBD) for
               simple  business  orders  and  (TBD) for complex business orders.
               This  charge  shall  apply  in  addition  to any other applicable
               recurring  and  non-recurring  charges.

               2.2.5.3.3
               A  CLEC  may  order  multiple  elements on a single local service
               request  ("LSR")  for  combining at the secured frame or external
               cabinet, in accordance with the terms and conditions for ordering
               and  provisioning  of  UNEs  as  set  out  in  the  Agreement.

               2.2.5.3.4
               If  this  option  is  selected as described in 2.2.5.3, Ameritech
               will  develop  performance measures related to the timeliness and
               accuracy  of  its  provisioning  of elements for combining at the
               secured  frame  or  external cabinet, during the six-month review
               process as set out in the Performance Remedy Plan. These measures
               will  be incorporated into the liquidated damages and assessments
               provisions  of  the  Performance  Remedy  Plan.

          2.2.5.4
          Ameritech  may not substitute the above described methods of combining
          UNEs  for  its  own  continued performance of such connections at cost
          based  rates  if  the  FCC  or reviewing court has determined that the
          ILECs  have  an  obligation  to  perform  such  connections.

     2.2.6  FOR  SERVICE  TO  RESIDENTIAL  CUSTOMERS

     Until  March  28,  2004,  which  is  a  period  of  three  years  after the
     Commission's  Order  in Case No U-12320 approving the general terms of this
     Amendment  as  defined  in  Section  3.1  became  effective, Ameritech will
     provide  to  CLEC the existing UNE-P and new UNE-P combinations as provided
     in  this  Amendment  during  the  Term  of  this  Amendment  without change
     notwithstanding  subsequent  changes  in  law. Provided, however, that if a
     subsequent  final and nonappealable judicial decision or FCC order modifies
     the  obligations  of  incumbent  LECs  regarding  combinations  of  network
     elements,  including  but  not  limited  to  the  precise demarcation point
     between  new and existing combinations, the parties reserve their rights to
     seek  an  appropriate modification of this Amendment and shall negotiate in
     good  faith  an  appropriate  modification  to

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                         Page 11
                                                                          032901

     conform  this Amendment to such decision or order, subject to resolution by
     the  Commission  if the parties are unable to reach agreement. For purposes
     of  this  Section,  Residential  Customers shall be defined as described in
     M.P.S.C.  No.  20R  Part  2,  Section  2  "Location  and  Use  of Telephone
     Services."  Beginning on the date that is three years after such Commission
     approval,  the  modifications set forth in paragraphs 2.2.6.1 and following
     may  be  adopted  by  Ameritech:

          2.2.6.1
          If the FCC or the Commission determines that a certain network element
          need  not  be  provided  under  Section  251(c)(3)  of the FTA, either
          statewide  or in a particular location or locations, Ameritech may set
          the  price  of  such  network  element(s)  at  a  market level for the
          applicable  areas.  To  the  extent  that  the  FCC  or  Commission
          determination eliminates the obligation to supply an element at TELRIC
          rates  as  part  of  a platform of unbundled network elements, i.e., a
          combination  of  elements  sufficient  to  permit  a  CLEC  to deliver
          end-to-end  service  to  an  end  user  customer  without  using  CLEC
          equipment  or  facilities  (other than operator services and directory
          assistance  service  that the CLEC may supply via customized routing),
          then,  in  pricing  the  unbundled network element platform under this
          provision,  Ameritech  shall  not  increase  the  total  price  of the
          platform  by  more  than  twenty  (20)  percent  each  year.

          2.2.6.2
          If  the FCC or a court modifies or has modified the TELRIC methodology
          applicable  to  unbundled  network  elements,  Ameritech  and CLEC may
          renegotiate  the  applicable  prices  for  unbundled  network elements
          provided  pursuant  to  Section  251(c)(3)  of Title 47, United States
          Code.  If  the  Parties  are  unable  to reach agreement on applicable
          prices  within  135  days  of  the  request  by  either Party for such
          negotiations,  either  Party  may  submit  remaining  disputes  to the
          Commission for arbitration. The scope of renegotiation and arbitration
          of  prices  under this section will be limited to the scope of the FCC
          or  court  modification  of  the TELRIC methodology to the extent that
          such  methodology  was  relied  upon  in setting the unbundled network
          element  rates  in  this  Amendment, and further limited to the impact
          that  the  modification of the TELRIC methodology would have had if it
          had  been  in  effect  at  the  time the UNE prices applicable to this
          Amendment  were established. Pending the establishment of any modified
          prices  by  Commission  arbitration  award  or  Commission approval of
          negotiated  modifications, the prices set forth in this Amendment will
          apply but will be subject to true-up back to the end of the three year
          period  described  in  2.2.6  above at the request of either party and
          subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Commission.

2.3  ENHANCED  EXTENDED  LOOP  (EEL)

Consistent with Sections 2.2.5, 2.2.5.1, 2.2.5.2, and 2.2.6, 2.2.6.1 and 2.2.6.2
above:

     2.3.1
     Ameritech  will  combine unbundled loops with unbundled dedicated transport
     as  described herein to provide enhanced extended loop at the recurring and
     nonrecurring  charges  applicable  to  each  UNE  requested  above,  with
     applicable  recurring  and

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                         Page 12
                                                                          032901

     nonrecurring charges for cross connects, multiplexing and other options, as
     available,  and  applicable  Service  Order  Charges.  Ameritech  will
     cross-connect  unbundled  2  or  4-wire  analog  or 2-wire digital loops to
     unbundled  DS1,  or DS3 dedicated transport facilities for CLEC's provision
     of circuit switched or packet switched telephone exchange service to CLEC's
     own  end user customers. Ameritech will also cross-connect unbundled 4-wire
     digital  loops  (DS1  loops)  to  unbundled DS1, or DS3 dedicated transport
     facilities  for  CLEC's  provision  of  circuit switched telephone exchange
     service  to  CLEC's  own  end  user  customers.

     2.3.2
     The unbundled dedicated transport facility will extend from CLEC customer's
     Ameritech  serving  wire  center  to CLEC's collocation cage in a different
     Ameritech  central  office in the same LATA. CLECs must order the dedicated
     transport  facility,  with  any  necessary  multiplexing,  from  CLEC's
     collocation  cage to the wire center serving CLEC's end user customer. CLEC
     will  order  each  loop  as  needed  and provide Ameritech with the Channel
     Facility Assignment (CFA) to the dedicated transport. For the loop UNE, the
     dedicated  transport  UNE, the cross-connects needed to combine the two, as
     well  as  any  necessary  multiplexing,  ordering  and provisioning will be
     pursuant  to the ordering and provisioning terms and conditions for UNEs as
     set  out  in  the Agreement. For the loop UNE, the dedicated transport UNE,
     the  cross-connects  needed  to  combine  the two, as well as any necessary
     multiplexing,  maintenance  will  be  pursuant to the maintenance terms and
     conditions  for  UNEs  as  set  out  in  the  Agreement.

     2.3.3
     Alternatively,  CLEC  may  cross-connect unbundled loops with the unbundled
     dedicated  transport facilities in its physical collocation space utilizing
     its  own equipment or through the secured frame room in the central office,
     or  if  space  is not available, in an external cross-connect cabinet until
     space becomes available in the central office. The restrictions on loop and
     transport  facility  type,  and  on  CLEC  services to be provided over the
     extended  loop,  that  are  contained  in Section 2.3.1 and 2.3.5 regarding
     Ameritech-combined EELs do not apply to the combinations assembled by CLECs
     under  this  subsection  2.3.3.  CLEC  can  access the secured frame or the
     external  cross connect cabinet without having to collocate. If CLEC elects
     the  secured  frame or cabinet option, CLEC will provide a rolling 12 month
     forecast,  updated  every  six  (6)  months,  of  its  expected  demand for
     unbundled  loops  to  be  connected  with the unbundled dedicated transport
     facilities in each central office in which CLEC will combine outside of its
     existing  or  planned  collocation arrangements. Within sixty (60) days' of
     receipt  of  CLEC's  forecast  for  a  given central office, Ameritech will
     construct, at cost to CLEC, a secured frame room in the central office, or,
     if  space  is  not  available,  external  cross connect cabinet until space
     becomes  available  in the central office, where CLEC may combine unbundled
     loops  with  the unbundled dedicated transport facilities. There will be an
     additional  charge  to  the CLEC for Ameritech extending loop and transport
     elements  to the secured frame or cabinet. If CLEC submits such a forecast,
     Ameritech  will  temporarily  combine  unbundled  loops  with the unbundled
     dedicated  transport  facilities  until  the secured frame room or external
     cross  connect  cabinet  is  made available to CLEC. When the secured frame
     room  or  external  cross  connect  cabinet  is  made

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                         Page 13
                                                                          032901

     available,  CLEC  will,  within ninety (90) days after providing a forecast
     for  a  particular  central  office  or  thirty  (30)  days after receiving
     appropriate  terminal  assignment  information  to place connections on the
     secured  frame,  whichever is later, replace the temporary connections made
     by  Ameritech,  effectively half-tapping the existing temporary connections
     so  that  the  temporary connection can be removed without interrupting the
     end user's service. When notified by CLEC that its connections are complete
     within  the  period  described  above,  Ameritech will remove its temporary
     connections.  If  CLEC  fails  to  notify  Ameritech that it has placed its
     connections  on the secured frame during that period, Ameritech will charge
     CLEC  the  applicable  special  access recurring and nonrecurring rates, in
     lieu  of the UNE rates. Such special access charges shall be retroactive to
     the  date  Ameritech  began  combining  the  UNEs for CLEC pursuant to this
     paragraph.  If  at  any  time  after a secured frame room or external cross
     connect  cabinet  is  made  available,  Ameritech  is unable to meet CLEC's
     forecasted  demand for use of these arrangements due to a lack of capacity,
     Ameritech will again temporarily combine unbundled loops with the unbundled
     dedicated  transport  facilities  as  an interim arrangement for CLEC until
     capacity  can  be  provided.  When  capacity  is  made available, temporary
     connections performed by Ameritech will be removed as described above. If a
     CLEC  is located at an external cross connect cabinet because Ameritech ran
     out  of space in a central office, once there is additional space available
     in  the  central  office,  and a CLEC requests to move to the secured frame
     room,  there  will  be no charge to the CLEC for moving. Such move shall be
     coordinated  to  minimize  service  disruption  to  the  customer.

     Ameritech  will  not disclose the forecasts provided for in this section to
     any  persons  other  than  Ameritech employees responsible for provisioning
     extended  loops  under  the  secured  frame  and cabinet options. Any other
     disclosure,  and  any  use by Ameritech of these forecasts for marketing or
     business  strategic  purposes,  is  prohibited.

          2.3.3.1
          Ameritech  and  CLECs shall jointly establish, within 30 days from the
          approval  of this Amendment, a detailed procedure for combining 4 wire
          digital  loops  (e.g.,  DS1  loops)  to dedicated transport facilities
          (e.g.,  DS3  transport)  where  CLECs  are required to combine. In the
          event  the parties are unable to reach agreement, the Commission shall
          establish  the  procedure  within  sixty  days.

     2.3.4
     If CLEC orders a combination of unbundled loops and transport that meet the
     definition  of  enhanced  extended  loop in this Amendment that are already
     connected  at  the  time  of  the  CLEC order (e.g., the elements are in an
     existing  equivalent configuration), Ameritech will supply that combination
     to CLEC as a "pre-existing combination," without separating and recombining
     the  elements, pursuant to Section 2.2.5 and other applicable provisions of
     this  Amendment,  including subsection 2.3.5 below. For the reconfiguration
     of  qualifying special access arrangements to combined UNEs, Ameritech will
     apply  the  recurring  and  nonrecurring  charges  applicable  to  each UNE
     requested  along  with the appropriate Service Order Charge consistent with
     the  terms  and  conditions

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                         Page 14
                                                                          032901

     in M.P.S.C. No. 20R, Part 19, Section 19, Reconfiguration of Special Access
     to  UNE  Combinations.

     2.3.5
     The  unbundled  network  elements that comprise the EEL in this section 2.3
     shall  only  be provided to CLEC to the extent the EEL is used to provide a
     significant  amount  of  local  exchange  service  to a particular end user
     customer.  This limitation is the same as the requirements set forth in the
     FCC's  Supplemental  Order  Clarification  in  FCC CC Docket No. 96-98, FCC
     00-183  (released June 2, 2000). CLEC's use of the EEL and its provision of
     telecommunication  services  is  as  specified,  and  subject  to,  the
     Telecommunications  Act  of  1996  ("the Act"), the rules, regulations, and
     orders  of  the  FCC  and  the  Commission,  and  any other applicable law.

     2.3.6
     All  recurring  and nonrecurring charges as defined in the attached Pricing
     Appendix-  Combinations  apply  to  the  "new" EEL combinations provided in
     Section  2.3.1,  for  the  particular  elements  requested  as part of such
     Combination.

     2.3.7
     Ameritech  will  provide  CLEC  with  electronic  access  for  pre-ordering
     capabilities  and  service  order  requests  for  EELs.

3.0  EFFECTIVE  DATE
     ---------------

3.1
Any  CLEC that wants to accept this entire Amendment, may request it in writing,
after  March  29,  2001, based upon and subject to the Order on Rehearing, dated
March  19,  2001  issued  by  the  Commission in Case No. U-12320 approving this
Amendment,  and  finding  that  the terms and conditions of this Amendment, when
implemented  meet  the  product  offering  requirements  of  47  U.S.C.  Section
271(c)(2)(B)(ii)  for  purposes  of  providing  combinations of network elements
(subject  to  change in law regarding combination obligations as described above
in  Sections  2.2.5  and  2.2.6),  and  conditioned  upon  Ameritech's  actual
provisioning  of  combinations,  satisfactory  OSS  testing  and  performance
measurement  results. Within 5 business days of such written notification from a
CLEC  with  an  existing  and  effective  Interconnection  Agreement,  Ameritech
shall  present  the  CLEC  with  a signed Amendment to Interconnection Agreement
substantively  identical to this Amendment. Within 5 business days of receipt of
the Ameritech signed Amendment to Interconnection Agreement, the CLEC shall sign
such  Amendment  to  Interconnection Agreement and cause it to be filed with the
Commission.  The signed Amendment to Interconnection Agreement between Ameritech
and  the CLEC shall become effective by operation of law immediately upon filing
with  the  Commission  (the  "Effective  Date").

4.0  TERM  OF  AMENDMENT
     -------------------

4.1
                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                         Page 15
                                                                          032901

This  Amendment will become effective as of the Effective Date stated above, and
will  expire  on  September  28, 2002, which is 18 months after MPSC approval as
described  in Section 3.1 above, unless the FCC approves Ameritech's application
to  provide  in-region interLATA service in Michigan under 47 U.S.C. 271 by June
28,  2002,  which  is 15 months after MPSC approval, in which event the terms of
this  Amendment  will automatically be extended until March 28, 2005, which is 4
years  after  MPSC  approval as described in Section 3.1 above. In the event the
FCC  approves  Ameritech's application to provide in-region interLATA service in
Michigan  under  47 U.S.C. 271 after June 28, 2002, but prior to March 28, 2005,
Ameritech shall have the option of extending the Amendment until March 28, 2005.
In  such  event,  Ameritech  will  provide notice to the Commission and to CLEC,
within  five  business  days  of  FCC  approval,  of its agreement to extend the
Amendment until March 28, 2005. If either party desires to negotiate a successor
agreement  to  the  Agreement,  such  party  must provide the other party with a
written request to negotiate such successor agreement (Request to Negotiate) not
later  than  180  days  prior  to the expiration of this Amendment. A Request to
Negotiate  does  not  activate  the  negotiation  timeframe  set  forth  in this
Amendment,  nor  does  it shorten the life of this Amendment. The noticing Party
will  delineate  the items desired to be negotiated. Not later than 30 days from
receipt of said Notice to Negotiate, the receiving Party will notify the sending
Party  of  additional  items  desired to be negotiated, if any. The Parties will
begin  negotiations  not  later  than  135  days  prior  to  expiration  of this
Amendment.  If  the  FCC  approves  Ameritech's application to provide in-region
interLATA service in Michigan after June 28, 2002, and Ameritech provides notice
of  its  agreement  under  this  Section to extend the Amendment until March 28,
2005,  CLEC  may  withdraw  its  Request  to  Negotiate.

4.2
The initial and extension term(s) of this Amendment will apply to the Agreement,
or  successor  agreements.  The term of this Amendment will not, however, extend
the  term of the Agreement or any successor agreement that has or will terminate
during  the  initial  or  extension  term(s)  of  this  Amendment.

4.3
This  Amendment  contains  a group of legitimately related provisions offered by
Ameritech  in  the context of a Section 271 collaborative proceeding in Michigan
and  as  such  cannot  be  modified  by  incorporating,  via  Section  252(i) or
otherwise, provisions from other interconnection agreements into this Amendment.
CLECs  with  other  agreements  may  incorporate  this  Amendment  into  their
interconnection  agreement in accordance with Section 252(i). Should CLEC opt to
incorporate  any  provision  of  this  Amendment  into  another  interconnection
agreement  pursuant  to  Section  252(i)  of  the  Act,  the provision from this
Amendment  shall  expire on the date provided in Section 4.1 above and shall not
control  the  expiration  date  of  the  provisions of the other interconnection
agreement.

5.0  MOST  FAVORED  NATIONS  -  IN  STATE  ONLY
     ------------------------------------------

5.1
The  Parties  acknowledge and agree that this Amendment is the result of a state
Section  271  collaborative  process  in  Case  No.  U-12320,  and the result of
negotiations  in  that proceeding with the Commission, Ameritech and the parties
to  Case  No.  U-12320.  The  parties  further

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                         Page 16
                                                                          032901

acknowledge  and  agree that this Amendment was therefore agreed upon outside of
the  negotiation  procedures  of 47 U.S.C. Section 252(a)(1). (See SBC/Ameritech
Order  in  CC  Docket No. 98-141, FCC 99-279 at Condition 43, and Note 725). The
parties  further acknowledge that the terms, conditions and prices for the UNE-P
and  EEL  combination  provisions  in this Amendment and in the attached Pricing
Appendix-Combinations  are  nonseverable and "legitimately related" for purposes
of  Section  252(i)  of  Title  47,  United  States  Code.

6.0  WAIVER
     ------

6.1
For  purposes  of  this  Section  and,  for the time period(s) specified in this
Amendment,  Ameritech  agrees  to  waive  the  right  to assert that it need not
provide pursuant to the "necessary and impair" standards of Section 251(d)(2) of
Title 47, United States Code, a network element now available under the terms of
this  Amendment  and/or  its  rights  with regard to the combination of any such
network elements that are not already combined, and available under the terms of
this  Amendment. CLEC agrees that the UNE-P and EEL provisions of this Amendment
are  nonseverable  and  "legitimately related" for purposes of Section 252(i) of
Title 47, United States Code. Accordingly, CLEC agrees to take the UNE-P and EEL
provisions  of  this Amendment and the attached Pricing Appendix-Combinations in
their  entirety,  without change, alteration or modification, waiving its rights
to  "pick  and choose" UNE provisions from other agreements under Section 252(i)
of  Title  47,  United  States Code. This mutual waiver of rights by the Parties
will  constitute  additional  consideration  for  the  Amendment.

6.2
By entering into this Amendment to obtain the benefits set forth herein in whole
or  in  part,  CLEC  expressly  waives  its right to challenge the terms of this
Amendment  in any judicial, dispute resolution or regulatory proceeding as being
inconsistent  with the product offering requirements of Section 271(c)(2)(B)(ii)
for purposes of providing combinations of network elements (subject to change in
law  regarding  combination obligations as described above in Sections 2.2.5 and
2.2.6).  Except  that CLEC expressly reserves the right to challenge Ameritech's
actual  provisioning  of  combinations, satisfactory OSS testing and performance
measurement results; and to seek clarification or interpretation of the terms of
this  Amendment  through  the  dispute  resolution  process  established  by the
Commission  or  challenge  in  any  judicial,  dispute  resolution or regulatory
proceeding  the interpretation of this Amendment or any Amendment containing the
same  or  substantially  similar  language  to  this  Amendment;  such  right
to  challenge  actual  results  or  to  seek  clarification or interpretation or
challenge  the  interpretation  also  includes  the  right  to  appeal the final
judicial,  dispute  resolution  or regulatory decision and to continue to pursue
pending  appeals.  When a final decision is rendered by the appellate court, the
affected  contract  provision  shall  be  revised  to reflect the result of such
appeal.  Any  dispute  between  the  Parties  regarding the manner in which this
Amendment  should  be  modified  to  reflect  the  effect of the appellate court
decision  shall  be resolved by the Commission. Notwithstanding CLEC's waiver of
its  right to contest this Amendment under Section 271(c)(2)(B)(ii) as described
above,  CLEC expressly reserves the right to pursue alternate theories regarding
combinations  of  network  elements  in  pending  or  future  Section  251/252
arbitrations.  Except  as  provided  in this section, CLEC reserves the right to
pursue  pending  appeals  and  to  appeal  any

                                                                  Mi2A Amendment
                                                                         Page 17
                                                                          032901

other state or federal regulatory decision, but, absent a stay or reversal, will
comply  with  any  such  final decision. Nothing in this Amendment limits CLEC's
right  or  ability  to  participate  in  any  proceedings  regarding  the proper
interpretation  and/or  application  of  the  1996 Telecommunications Act or the
Michigan  Telecommunications  Act.

6.3
On  January 25, 1999, the United States Supreme Court issued its opinion in AT&T
Corp.  v.  Iowa Utilities Board, 525 U.S. 366, 119 S. Ct. 721 (1999) and on June
1, 1999, the United States Supreme Court issued its opinion in Ameritech v. FCC,
No.  98-1381,  119  S Ct. 2016 (June 1, 1999). In addition, on November 5, 1999,
the  FCC issued its Third Report and Order and Fourth Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking in CC Docket No. 96-98 (FCC 99-238), including the FCC's Supplemental
Order  issued  In  the  Matter  of  the  Local  Competition  Provisions  of  the
Telecommunications  Act  of  1996,  in  CC  Docket  No. 96-98 (FCC 99-370) (rel.
November  24,  1999),  portions  of  which  become  effective  thirty  (30) days
following  publication of such Order in the Federal Register (February 17, 2000)
and  other  portions of which become effective 120 days following publication of
such  Order in the Federal Register (May 17, 2000). On July 18, 2000, the United
States  Court  of  Appeals issued its opinion in Iowa Util. Bd. v. FCC, 219 F.3d
744  (8th  Cir.  2000)  cert.  granted 121 S.Ct 877-79 (2001). By executing this
Amendment,  neither  party  waives any of its rights, remedies or arguments with
respect  to  such  decisions,  any  remands  thereof,  or  any  federal or state
proceedings  related  thereto,  including  its  right  to  seek  legal  review
or  a  stay  of  such  decisions,  or  its  rights  under  the  Amendment.

7.0  MISCELLANEOUS
     -------------

7.1
The  Agreement,  as  amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect until
terminated pursuant to its terms. This Amendment does not extend the term of the
Agreement.  On and from the Amendment Effective Date, reference to the Agreement
in  any  notices,  requests,  orders,  certificates and other documents shall be
deemed  to  include  this  Amendment,  whether  or not reference is made to this
Amendment,  unless  the  context  shall  be  otherwise  specifically  noted.

7.2
This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original  but  all  of  which  when  taken  together  shall  constitute a single

                     DEMISE OF PREMISES AND QUIET ENJOYMENT

SECTION  2.01  - Landlord owns and controls the building identified hereinabove.
In  consideration of the rents, covenants, and agreements reserved and contained
in  this  Lease,  Landlord  hereby leases and demises the Premises to Tenant and
Tenant  rents  same,  in order that Tenant may continuously operate its business
operations  thereon  in  accordance  with its permitted use, subject only to the
terms  and  conditions  herein contained and all liens, encumbrances, easements,
restrictions,  zoning  laws, and governmental or other regulations affecting the
Premises.

The  Premises  shall include only the appurtenances specifically granted in this
Lease  with  Landlord  specifically excepting and reserving for itself the roof,
the  air  space above the roof, the space below the floor, the exterior portions
of  the  Premises,  and  the right to install, maintain, use, repair and replace
pipes,  ductwork,  conduits, utility lines, and wires in the Premises.  Landlord

manner  which  shall  not  unreasonably  interfere  with  the  normal  business
operations  of  Tenant.

SECTION  2.02  -  Use  of Common Areas.  The use and occupation by Tenant of the
Premises shall include a revocable license to use in common with others entitled
thereto  the  Common  Areas,  as same may be designated from time to time by the
Landlord,  subject,  however,  to  the terms and conditions of this Lease and to

Landlord.  The  term  "Common  Areas"  as  used  in  this  Lease  shall mean all
facilities  furnished in connection with the use of the building, in common with
other buildings located in the facilities, which facilities may include, but are
not  limited  to,  the  parking  areas,  streets,  passenger  vehicle  roadways,
sidewalks,  walkways,  service  areas,  roadways, drainage and plumbing systems,

designated  by  Landlord,  and  as  are common for the use of facilities of this
type.

SECTION  2.03  Construction/Possession:  Landlord  and  Tenant hereby agree that
Tenant's  taking  possession of the Premises shall be deemed conclusive evidence
of  Tenant's  acceptance  of  the Premises in satisfactory condition and in full
compliance  with  all  covenants  and  obligations  of  Landlord  in  connection
therewith.  Tenant  agrees  that it will accept possession of the Premises in an
"as  is"  condition  and  that  no representations or inducements respecting the
condition of the Premises have been made to Tenant by Landlord or its authorized
representatives.  Similarly,  Tenant  hereby  acknowledges  that  no promises to
decorate,  alter,  repair,  or  improve the Premises, either before or after the
execution  hereof,  have been made by Landlord or its authorized representatives
other  than  as  specifically  set  forth  herein. Tenant further agrees that no
representations  have  been made to Tenant that any other tenants have leased or
will  continue  to  lease  space  within the Premises.  Tenant shall observe and
perform  all  of  its  obligations  under  this  Lease and shall pay charges for
temporary  water,  heating,  cooling  and  lighting from the date upon which the
Premises

are  made  available  to  Tenant  for  its  work  (or  from the date when Tenant
commences  to  perform its work, if earlier) until the Rental Commencement Date.

SECTION 2.04 - Quiet Enjoyment.  Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon paying all
sums  due  from Tenant to Landlord hereunder and performing and observing all of
Tenant's  obligations  under this Lease, shall peacefully and quietly have, hold
and  enjoy  the Premises and the appurtenances throughout the lease Term without
interference  by  the  Landlord,  subject,  nevertheless, to the other terms and
provisions  of  this  Lease.

form  specifying  the Rental Commencement Date and termination date of the Lease
Term.

SECTION  2.06 - Excuse of Landlord's and Tenant's Performance.  Anything in this
lease to the contrary notwithstanding, and provided such cause is not due to the
willful  act or gross neglect of either party, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall
be  deemed  in  default  with  respect  to  the performance of any of the terms,
covenants,  and  conditions  of  this  Lease if same shall be due to any strike,
lockout,  civil commotion, war-like operation, invasion, rebellion, hostilities,
military  or  usurped  power,  sabotage,  governmental  regulations or controls,
inability  to  obtain any material, service, or financing, through Act of God or
other  cause  beyond  the  control  of  either  party.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                      RENT

SECTION  3.01 - During the entire Lease Term, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay
to  Landlord, in lawful money of the United States, without any prior demand and
without any deduction or setoff whatsoever, the Rent as provided in Section 1.01
and  Section  3.02.  The  payment of Rent by Tenant to Landlord shall be made in
advance  on  the  first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term hereof,
except that the first monthly installment shall be paid upon the final execution
of  this Lease.  Rent for any partial calendar month during the Lease Term shall
be  prorated  on  a  per  diem  basis.

SECTION  3.02  Past-Due Rent - If Tenant shall fail to pay, when the same is due
and  payable, any Rent, amounts or charges of the character described in Section
3.01  hereof,  such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof
to  the  date  of  payment  at  the  rate  of  eighteen percent (18%) per annum.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                    UTILITIES

SECTION  4.01  -  The Tenant shall make application for, obtain, pay for, and be
solely  responsible  for  the  following utilities: telephone, electricity, HVAC
maintenance  services  (all  routine  and  minor  maintenance),  or  any similar
services  (herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Utility Services").
In  the  event that any charge for any utilities supplied to the Premises is not
paid  by

<PAGE>
Tenant  to  the  utility  supplier when due, then Landlord may, but shall not be
required  to,  pay such charge for and on behalf of Tenant, with any such amount
paid  by  Landlord  being  repaid  by  Tenant  to  Landlord, as Additional Rent,
promptly upon demand. Additionally, if Landlord shall elect to supply any of the
Utility  Services,  then  Tenant  shall  pay to Landlord the cost of its utility
consumption,  along  with  the  cost of installing separate metering devices, if
necessary.  Landlord  agrees  that  the  cost to Tenant of any Landlord-provided
utility  service shall not exceed the amount Tenant would have had to pay had it
independently  obtained  said  utility  service from the local utility supplier.
Landlord  and  Tenant  hereby  agree  that  Landlord shall not be liable for any
interruptions  or  curtailment  in  utility  services  due  to causes beyond its
control or due to Landlord's alteration, repair, or improvement of the Premises.

SECTION  4.02  -  Landlord  shall be responsible for providing water, sewer, and
garbage  collection  services.

                                    ARTICLE V
                 INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, OPERATION AND REPAIR

SECTION  5.01  -  Tenant  Installation:  Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole expense,
install  all  trade fixtures and equipment required to operate its business (all
of  which shall be of first-class quality and workmanship).  All trade fixtures,
signs,  or  other  personal  property  installed in the Premises by Tenant shall
remain  the  property  of  Tenant  and  may be removed at any time provided that
Tenant  is  not  in  default hereunder and provided the removal thereof does not
cause,  contribute  to,  or  result  in  Tenants' default hereunder; and further
provided  that  Tenant shall at Tenant's sole expense promptly repair any damage
to  the  Premises  resulting  from  the  removal  of personal property and shall
replace  same with personal property of like or better quality.  The term "trade
fixtures'  as used herein shall not include carpeting, floor coverings, attached
shelving,  lighting  fixtures other than free-standing lamps, wall coverings, or
similar  Tenant  improvements  which  shall become the property of Landlord upon
surrender  of  the  Premises  by  Tenant  for whatever reason.  Tenant shall not
attach  any  fixtures  or  articles  to any portion of the Premises nor make any
alterations,  additions,  improvements,  or  changes  or  perform any other work
whatsoever  in  and  to  the  Premises,  other than minor interior, cosmetic and
decorative  changes  which  do  not  exceed  Twenty  Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($20,000.00) in the aggregate per Lease Year, without in each instance obtaining
the  prior  written  approval  of  Landlord.  Any  alterations,  additions,
improvements,  changes  to  the Premises or other work permitted herein shall be
made  by  Tenant  at  Tenant's  sole  cost  and  expense.

Section 5.02 - Maintenance By Tenant. Except as provided in Section 5.04 hereof,
Tenant  shall, at Tenant's expense, at all times keep the Premises (interior and
exterior) and appurtenances thereto in good order, condition, and repair, clean,
sanitary,  and  safe,  including the replacement of equipment, fixtures, and all
broken  glass  (with  glass of the same size and quality) and shall, in a manner
satisfactory  to  Landlord,  decorate  and  paint the Premises when necessary to
maintain  at all times a clean and sightly appearance. In the event Tenant fails
to perform any of its obligations as required hereunder, Landlord may, but shall
not  be  required  to,  perform  and  satisfy same with Tenant herby agreeing to
reimburse  Landlord,  as  Additional  Rent,  for  the  cost  thereof  promptly

<PAGE>

upon demand. Tenant shall make any and all additions, improvements, alterations,
and  repairs to or on the Premises, other than those required for the structural
repair  and maintenance of the roof, foundation, or exterior walls, which may at
any  time  during  the  Lease  Term  be  required  or  recommended by any lawful
authorities,  insurance  underwriters,  Inspection  Rating Bureaus, or insurance
inspectors  designated by Landlord. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
deal  directly with any authorities respecting their requirements for additions,
improvements,  alterations,  or repairs. All Tenant work and all such additions,
improvements,  and alterations thereto shall become the property of the Landlord
upon  the  expiration  or  earlier  termination  of  this  Lease.

Section  5.03  -  Tenant  Shall  Discharge All Liens.  Tenant will not create or
permit  to be created or to remain, and will discharge, any lien (including, but
not  limited  to,  the  liens  of mechanics, laborers or materialmen for work or
materials  alleged  to  be  done  or furnished in connection with the Premises),
encumbrance or other charge upon the Premises or any part thereof, upon Tenant's
leasehold  interest  therein,  provided  that  Tenant  shall  not be required to
discharge  any  such  liens,  encumbrances, or charges as may be placed upon the
Premises  by  the  act  of  Landlord.

Tenant  shall  have the right to contest, in good faith and by appropriate legal
proceedings,  the  validity  or  amount  of  any  mechanics',  laborers',  or
materialmen's  lien  or claimed lien. In the event of such contest, Tenant shall
give  to  Landlord  reasonable  security as may be amended by Landlord to insure
payment  thereof  and  to  prevent  any  sale, foreclosure, or forfeiture of the
Premises  or  any  part  thereof  by  reason  of  such  non-payment.  On  final
determination  of  such lien or such claim for lien, Tenant will immediately pay
any  judgment  rendered,  with  all proper cost and charges, and shall have such
lien  released  or judgment satisfied at Tenant's expense, and upon such payment
or  release  of  satisfaction,  Landlord  will  promptly  return  to Tenant such
security  as  Landlord  shall  have  received  in  connection with such contest.
Landlord  reserves  the  right  to  enter  the  Premises to post and keep posted
notices  of non-responsibility for any such lien.  Tenant will pay, protect, and
indemnify  Landlord  with ten (10) days after demand therefor,  from and against
all  liabilities,  losses,  claims,  damages,  costs,  and  expenses,  including
reasonable  attorney's fees, incurred by Landlord by reason of the filing of any
lien  and/or  the  removal  of  the  same.

SECTION  5.04  -  Surrender  of  Premises.  At  the  termination  of this Lease,
Tenant  shall  surrender  the  Premises  in  the  same condition (subject to the
removals  hereinafter  required)  as  the  Premises  were on the date the Tenant
opened  the  Premises  for  business to the public, reasonable wear and tear and
loss  due to casualty excepted, and shall surrender all keys for the Premises to
Landlord  at  the  place  then  fixed  for  the payment of rent and shall inform
Landlord  of  all  combinations  on  locks,  safes,  and  vaults, if any, in the
Premises.  Tenant,  during  the last thirty (30) days of such term, shall remove
all  its  trade  fixtures,  and  to  the  extent required by Landlord by written
notice,  any  other  installations,  alterations,  or  improvements  before
surrendering  the  Premises  as  aforesaid,  and  shall repair any damage to the
Premise caused thereby.  Tenants' obligation to observe or perform this covenant
shall  survive  the  expiration  or  other  termination  of  the  Lease  Term.

SECTION  5.05  -  Maintenance  by  Landlord.  Landlord  shall  keep the exterior
supporting  walls,  the  foundations,  roof,  and  spouting  of  the Premises in
reasonable  repair,  provided  that  Tenant  shall

<PAGE>

promptly  give  Landlord  written  notice  of the necessity for such repairs and
provided  that  the  damage  thereto shall not have been caused by negligence of
Tenant,  its  concessionaires,  officers,  agents,  employees,  licensees,  or
invitees;  in  which event, Tenant shall be responsible therefor. Landlord shall
have  no  obligation  to repair, maintain, alter, or perform any other acts with
reference  to  the  Premises  or  any  part  thereof,  or any plumbing, heating,
ventilating,  electrical,  air  conditioning  (other  than maintenance for which
Tenant  is  responsible  under  Article  IV),  or other mechanical installations
therein.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                      TAXES

SECTION  6.01 - Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay, when due, any and
all  ad  valorem  property taxes assessed against the Premises for calendar year
1998  and  thereafter,  during  the  entire  term  of  this  Lease.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                                    INSURANCE

SECTION  7.01  -  Tenant's Coverage.  Tenant shall maintain, at its sole expense
during  the  term hereof, public liability insurance covering the Premises in an
amount  of $1,000,000.00 for injury or death to any one person and $1,000,000.00
for  injury  and/or  death  to  any  number  of  persons in any one accident and
property damage insurance in an amount of $1,000,00.00 in companies satisfactory
to  Landlord  in the joint names of Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant shall also keep
in  force fire and extended coverage insurance for the full replacement value of
Tenant's  improvements  and  Tenant's  property,  including, but not limited to,
inventory, trade fixtures, furnishings and other personal property.  Tenant will
cause  such  insurance policies to name Landlord and its agents as an additional
insured  and to be written so as to provide that the insurer waives all right of
recovery  by  way of subrogation against Landlord in connection with any loss or
damage  covered  by  the  policy.  Tenant  shall  deliver  said  policies  or
certificates  therof  to Landlord within ten (10)days of the commencement of the
term.  Should  Tenant  fail  to effect the insurance called for herein, Landlord
may,  at its sole option, procure said insurance and pay the requisite premiums,
in  which  event Tenant shall pay all sums so expended to Landlord as additional
rent  following  invoice.  Tenant  shall  cause  each insurer under the policies
required  hereunder  to  agree  by  endorsement on the policy issued by it or by
independent  instrument furnished to Landlord that it will give Landlord fifteen
(15)  days  prior written notice before the policy or policies in question shall
be  altered  or  cancelled.

SECTION  7.02 - Increase in Fire Insurance Premium.  Tenant shall not keep, use,
sell,  or  offer  for  sale  in  or  upon  the Premises any article which may be
prohibited  by the standard form of fire insurance policy.  Tenant agrees to pay
any  increase  in  premiums for fire and extended coverage insurance that may be
charged  during  the  Lease  Term  on  the amount of such insurance which may be
carried  by Landlord on the Premises resulting from the type or merchandise sold
by  Tenant  in  the Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same.
In determining whether increased

<PAGE>

premiums  are  the result of Tenant's use of the Premises, a schedule, issued by
the  organization making the insurance rate on the Premises, showing the various
components  of  such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and
charges  which  make  up  the  fire  insurance  rate  on  the  Premises.

In  the  event  Tenant's  occupancy  causes any increase of premium for the fire
and/or  casualty  rates on the Premises, Tenant shall pay the additional premium
on  the  fire  and/or  casualty insurance polices by reason thereof.  The Tenant
also  shall  pay,  in  such  event, any additional premium on the rent insurance
policy  that  may  be  carried  by Landlord for its protection against rent loss
through  fire.  Bills for such additional premiums shall be rendered by Landlord
to Tenant at such times as Landlord may elect, and shall be due from and payable
by  Tenant when rendered, and the amount thereof shall be deemed to be, and paid
as,  additional  rent.

SECTION  7.03  -  Indemnification.  Tenant  hereby  agrees to indemnify and hold
Landlord  harmless  from  any  and  all claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
arising  out of (a) Tenant's use of the Premises; (b) any and all claims arising
from  any  breach or default in the performance of any obligation of Tenant, (c)
any  act,  omission,  or  negligence of Tenant, its agents or employees.  Tenant
further  release  Landlord from liability for any damages sustained by Tenant or
any  other  person  claiming by, through, or under Tenant due to the Premises or
any  part  thereof or any appurtenances thereto becoming out of repair or due to
the happening of any accident, including but not limited to any damage caused by
water,  snow,  windstorm,  tornado,  gas,  steam,  electrical  wiring, sprinkler
system,  plumbing,  heating  and air conditioning apparatus and from any acts or
omissions of co-tenants.  Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to or loss
of  Tenant's  personal  property, inventory, fixtures, or improvements, from any
cause  whatsoever  except  the  affirmative  acts  of proven gross negligence of
Landlord, and then only to the extent not covered by insurance to be obtained by
Tenant  in  accordance  with  this  Section.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                            CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

SECTION 8.01 - Fire, Explosion or Other Casualty.  In the event the Premises are
damaged  by  fire,  explosion,  or any other casualty to an extent which is less
than fifty percent (50%) of the cost of replacement of the Premises, the damage,
except  as  provided  in Section 8.02, shall promptly be repaired by Landlord at
Landlord's  expense, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for
such  repair  an  amount  in  excess  of  the  insurance  proceeds  recovered or
recoverable  as  a  result of such damage and that in no event shall Landlord be
required  to  repair  or  replace  Tenant's stock in trade, fixtures, furniture,
furnishing, floor coverings, and equipment.  In the event of any such damage and
(a)  Landlord  is  not  required  to  repair as hereinabove provided, or (b) the
Premises  shall  be  damaged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
cost  of  replacement,  or  (c) the building of which the Premises are a part is
damaged  to  the  extent  of  twenty-five  percent  (25%) or more of the cost of
replacement,  the Landlord may elect either to repair or rebuild the Premises or
the building or buildings, or to terminate this Lease upon giving notice of such
election  in  writing

<PAGE>

to  Tenant within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the event causing the
damage.  If  the  casualty,  repairing,  or rebuilding shall render the Premises
untenantable, in whole or in part, and the damage shall not have been due to the
fault  or  neglect of the Tenant, a proportionate abatement of the Fixed Minimum
Rent  shall  be  allowed  from  the date when the damage occurred until the date
Landlord  completes its work, said proportion to be computed on the basis of the
relation  which  the  gross  square foot area of the space rendered untenantable
bears  to  the  Floor  Area  of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein  to  the contrary, it is agreed that should Landlord elect not to rebuild
and to terminate this Lease, the Tenant shall not be required to pay any rent on
account  of  the time after the date the Premises become wholly untenantable. It
is  further  agreed  that,  should  Landlord  elect  to  rebuild  and it becomes
necessary,  in Landlord's opinion, for Tenant to vacate the Premises during said
rebuilding,  Tenant shall owe no rent or other charges during the period of time
Tenant  is  not  able  to  use  the  Premises.

SECTION  8.02  -  Landlords'  and Tenant's Work.  The provisions of this Article
VIII  with  respect  to repair by Landlord shall be limited to such repair as is
necessary  to  place  the  Premises in the same condition as when possession was
delivered  by  Landlord.  Promptly  following  such  repair,  Tenant  shall,  at
Tenant's  expense,  perform  any  work  required  to  place  the Premises in the
condition  as when possession was delivered by Landlord, and Tenant shall repair
or replace its stock in trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings, floor coverings,
and  equipment,  and  if  Tenant  has  closed,  Tenant shall promptly reopen for
business.

SECTION  8.03  - Condemnation.  If the whole of the Premises, or so much thereof
as  to  render  the  balance  unusable  by Tenant, shall be taken under power of
eminent  domain,  or  otherwise  transferred  in  lieu thereof, this Lease shall
automatically  terminate  as  of  the date possession is taken by the Condemning
authority.  No  award for any total or partial undertaking shall be apportioned,
and  Tenant  hereby  unconditionally  assigns to Landlord any award which may be
made  in  such  taking or condemnation.  In the event of a partial taking of the
Premises  which  does not result in the termination of this Lease, Fixed Minimum
Rent  shall be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage of square footage
of  the  Premises  so  taken.

SECTION  8.04  -  Condemnation  Award.  All compensation awarded or paid for any
taking or acquiring under the power or threat of eminent domain, whether for the
whole  or a part of the Premises, shall be the property of the Landlord, whether
such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in the value of the
leasehold  or to the fee of the Premises or otherwise, and Tenant hereby assigns
to Landlord all of the Tenant's right, title, and interest in and to any and all
such compensation; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be entitled to any
award  specifically  made  to  Tenant for the taking of Tenant's trade fixtures,
furniture, or leasehold improvements to the extent of the cost to Tenant of said
improvements  (exclusive of Landlord's contribution), less depreciation computed
from  the  date  of  said improvements to the expiration of the original term of
this  lease.

SECTION 8.05 - Tenant Award.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Landlord shall have no interest in any separate award made to Tenant for
loss  of  business,  moving

<PAGE>

expenses  or  the  taking  of  Tenant's  trade  fixtures,  furniture,  leasehold
improvements,  or  equipment.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

SECTION  9.01  - In the event that Tenant (a) fails to pay all or any portion of
any  sum  due  from Tenant hereunder or pursuant to any exhibit hereto when due;
(b)  fails  to  cease  all conduct prohibited hereby immediately upon receipt of
written  notice  from Landlord; (c) fails to take actions in accordance with the
provisions of written notice from Landlord to remedy Tenant's failure to perform
any  of  the  terms,  covenants,  and  conditions  herein;  (d) fails to conduct
business  in the Premises as herein required; (e) commits an act in violation of
this Lease which Landlord has previously notified Tenant to cease more than once
in  any  year;  (f) becomes bankrupt, insolvent, or files any debtor proceeding,
files  or  has  filed against Tenant any petition in bankruptcy; takes action or
has  action  taken against Tenant for the appointment of a receiver for all or a
portion  of  Tenant's  assets,  files a petition for a corporate reorganization;
makes  an  assignment  for  the  benefit of creditors, or if in any other manner
Tenant's  interest  hereunder  shall pass to another by operation of law (any or
all  of  the  occurrences  of this Section 9.01 (f) shall be deemed a default on
account  of  bankruptcy  for  the purposes hereof and such default on account of
bankruptcy  shall apply to and include any Guarantor of this Lease); (g) commits
waste  to  the  Premises;  or (h) is otherwise in breach of Tenant's obligations
hereunder  and  shall not have cured same within ten (10) days following written
notice  from  Landlord;  then  Tenant shall be in default hereunder and Landlord
may,  at  its  option  and  without further notice to Tenant, terminate Tenant's
right  of  Possession  of  the  Premises,  and,  without terminating this Lease,
reenter  and  resume  possession  of  the  Premises  and/or  declare  this Lease
terminated,  and  may  thereupon in either event remove all persons and property
from  the  Premises,  with  or without resort to process of any Court, either by
force  or  otherwise.  Notwithstanding  such  reentry by Landlord, Tenant hereby
indemnifies  and  holds  Landlord harmless from any and all loss or damage which
Tenant  may  incur  by  reason  of the termination of this Lease and/or Tenant's
right to possession hereunder.  In no event shall Landlord's termination of this
Lease  and/or  Tenant's  right  to  possession of the Premises abrogate Tenant's
agreement  to  pay  rent  and additional charges due hereunder for the full term
hereof.  Following reentry of the Premises by Landlord, Tenant shall continue to
pay  all  such  rent and additional charges as may become due under the terms of
this  Lease,  together with all other expenses incurred by Landlord in regaining
possession until such time, if any, as Landlord relets same and the Premises are
occupied  by  such  successor,  it  being understood that Landlord shall have no
obligations  to  mitigate  Tenant's  damages  by  reletting  the Premises.  Upon
reletting, sums received from such new Tenant by Landlord shall be applied first
to payment of costs incident to such reletting; any excess shall then be applied
to  any  indebtedness to Landlord from Tenant other than for Fixed Minimum Rent;
and  any  excess  shall then be applied to the payment of Fixed Minimum Rent due
and  unpaid.  The  balance,  if  any,  shall  be  applied against the deficiency
between  all  amounts  received hereunder and sums to be received by Landlord on
reletting,  which  deficiency Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in full, within five
(5)  days  of  notice  of same from Landlord.  Tenant shall have no right to any
proceeds  of  reletting  that remain following application of same in the manner
set  forth  herein.

<PAGE>

SECTION  9.02  -  Rights  and  Remedies.  The various rights and remedies herein
granted  to  Landlord shall be cumulative and in addition to any others Landlord
may  be  entitled to by law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights
or  remedies  shall  not  impair Landlord's right to exercise any other right or
remedy.  In all events, Landlord shall have the right, upon notice to Tenant, to
cure  any  breach  by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall
reimburse  Landlord  for  such  expense  upon  demand.

SECTION  9.03  -  Bankruptcy.  If  Landlord  shall not be permitted to terminate
this  Lease as hereinabove provided because of the provisions of Title 11 of the
United  States Code relating to bankruptcy, as amended ("Bankruptcy Code"), then
Tenant  as  a  debtor  in  possession or any trustee for Tenant agrees promptly,
within no more than fifteen (15) days upon request by Landlord to the Bankruptcy
Court,  to  assume  or  reject  this  Lease  and Tenant on behalf of itself, the
debtor-in-possession,  and  any  trustee  agrees  not  to  seek  or  request any
extension  or  adjournment  of any application to assume or reject this Lease by
Landlord  with  such Court.  In such event, Tenant or any trustee for Tenant may
only  assume  this Lease if: (i) it cures or provides adequate assurance that it
will  promptly cure any default hereunder; (ii) compensates or provides adequate
assurance that Tenant will promptly compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary
loss  to  Landlord resulting from Tenant's defaults; and (iii) provides adequate
assurance  of  performance  during  the  fully-stated  term hereof of all of the
terms, covenants, and provisions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant.  In no
event  after the assumption of this Lease shall any then-existing default remain
uncured  for  a  period  in  excess  of the earlier of ten (10) days or the time
period set forth herein.  Adequate assurance of performance of this Lease as set
forth  hereinabove  shall include, without limitation, adequate assurance (1) of
the source of rent reserved hereunder, and (2) that the assumption of this Lease
will not breach any provision hereunder.  In the event of a filing of a petition
under  the  Bankruptcy Code, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant
with  any  services  or  utilities as may be herein required unless Tenant shall
have paid and be current in all payments of Operating Costs, utilities, or other
charges  therefor.

SECTION  9.04  -  General.  Notwithstanding  anything  to the contrary contained
herein,  it is agreed that, except for the requirement to pay Rent, Tenant shall
be  entitled  to  more than ten (10) days, but no more than thirty (30) days, in
which to cure any default, provided such additional time is reasonably necessary
to  cure  the default and further provided that Tenant makes a continuous effort
to  cure  said  default  as quickly as reasonably possible and without damage to
Landlord.  It is further agreed, in the event of a default by Tenant and reentry
of  the  Premises  by Landlord, that Landlord's expenses in connection therewith
and  with  the  reletting  of  the  Premises  shall  be  reasonable.

                                    ARTICLE X
                      TRANSFERS, ASSIGNMENT, AND SUBLETTING

SECTION  10.01 - Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not, either voluntarily
or  by  operation  of law, sell, assign, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer this
Lease,  or  sublet  the  Premises  or  any  part  thereof  (all of the foregoing
collectively  referred  to as a "Transfer"). Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and
agree  that the foregoing restriction on Transfers has been freely negotiated by
the

<PAGE>

parties  hereto and that Landlord would not have entered into this Lease without
Tenant's  consent  to  the  terms  of this Section 11.01. Any attempted Transfer
shall  be  void ab initio and Tenant shall remain primarily liable on this Lease
and  shall  not  be  released  from  performing any of the terms, covenants, and
conditions  of  this  Lease.  The  acceptance  by  Landlord  of payments of Rent
following  any  assignment  or  transfer prohibited by this Section shall not be
deemed to be a consent by Landlord to any such assignment or other transfer, nor
shall  the  same  be  deemed  to  be a waiver of any right or remedy of Landlord
hereunder.  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary contained herein, it is
agreed that Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises to a third party
upon first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. However, in the event of Landlord's consent, Tenant shall
remain  liable  under  all  terms  and  conditions  of  this  Lease.

SECTION 10.02 - Voting Control.  If Tenant is a corporation and if the person or
persons  who own a majority of its voting shares at the time of execution hereof
cease to own a majority of such shares at any time hereafter, except as a result
of  transfers by gift, bequest, or inheritance, Tenant shall so notify Landlord,
and  whether or not Tenant has notified Landlord thereof, Landlord may terminate
this  Lease by notice to Tenant effective ninety (90) days from the date of such
notice  from  Tenant  or  the date on which Landlord first has knowledge of such
transfer,  which  ever  shall first occur.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary,  this  Section  10.02  shall  not  apply to any corporate tenant whose
shares  are  publicly  traded  on  a  nationally-recognized securities exchange.

SECTION  10.03  - Dissolution of Partnership.  If Tenant is a partnership and if
any  partner or partners withdraw from the partnership, or if the partnership is
otherwise  dissolved,  or  control  of  the partnership changes, Tenant shall so
notify  Landlord.  In  the event of such withdrawal or dissolution, Landlord may
terminate  this  Lease  by  notice to Tenant effective ninety (90) days from the
date  of  such  notice  from  Tenant  or  the  date  on which Landlord first has
knowledge  of  such  withdrawal  or  dissolution,  whichever  shall first occur.

                                  ARTICLE  XI

SECTION  11.01  - Right of Entry.  Landlord and Landlord's agents shall have the
right  to  enter the Premises at all times to examine the same, and to show them
to  prospective purchasers or tenants of the building, and to make such repairs,
alterations,  improvements,  or  additions  as  Landlord  may  deem necessary or
desirable,  and Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the
Premises  that  may  be  required  therefore  without  the  same constituting an
eviction  of Tenant in whole or in part, and the rent reserved  shall in no wise
abate  while  said  repairs,  alterations,  improvements, or additions are being
made,  by  reason  of  loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise.
During  the  six  (6)  months  prior  to the expiration of the Lease Term or any
renewal  term,  Landlord  may  exhibit  the  Premises  to prospective tenants or
purchasers,  and  place  upon  the  Premises  the usual notices "To Let" or "For
Sale",  which notices Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation,
provided  they  are  reasonable  in  size.  Repairs  made  by  Landlord  will be
performed  at  times which will cause minimal interruption to Tenant's business,
except  that  emergency  repairs  may  be  performed  at  any  time.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                                TENANT'S PROPERTY

SECTION  12.01  -  Taxes.  Tenant  shall be responsible for and shall pay before
delinquency all municipal, county, or state taxes, levies and fees of every kind
and nature, including but not limited to general or special assessments assessed
during  the  Lease  Term  against any personal property of any kind, owned by or
placed  in,  upon, or about the Premises by the Tenant and taxes assessed on the
basis of Tenant's occupancy thereof, including but not limited to taxes measured
by  Rents  due  from  Tenant  hereunder.

SECTION  12.02  -  Notices  by Tenant.  Tenant shall give immediate telephone or
telegraphic  notice  to  Landlord in case of fire, casualty, or accidents in the
Premises  or  in  the  building  of  which the Premises are a part or of defects
therein  or  in  any fixtures or equipment and shall promptly thereafter confirm
such  notice  in  writing.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                        SUCCESSION TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST

SECTION  13.01  -  Attornment.  Tenant  shall  attorn  and  be  bound  to any of
Landlord's  successors  under  all  the terms, covenants, and conditions of this
Lease  for  the  balance  of  the  remaining  term.

SECTION  13.02  - Subordination.  This Lease shall be subordinate to the lien of
any  mortgage  or  security  deed or the lien resulting from any other method of
financing  or  refinancing  now  or hereafter in force against the Premises, any
portion  thereof,  or upon any buildings hereafter placed upon the land of which
the  Premises  are a part, and to any and all advances to be made under any such
mortgages,  and  all  renewals,  modifications,  extensions, consolidations, and
replacements  thereof.  The aforesaid provisions shall be self-operative, and no
further  instrument  of  subordination  shall  be  required  to  evidence  such
subordination.  Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand,
such further instrument or instruments subordinating this Lease on the foregoing
basis  to  the  lien  of  any  such mortgage or mortgages as shall be desired by
Landlord  and  any  mortgagees or  proposed mortgagees,  and  hereby irrevocably
appoints  Landlord  the  attorney-in-fact  of Tenant to execute and deliver such
instrument  or  instruments  with  ten  (10) days after written notice to do so.
However, the holder of any mortgage or security deed or other lien will agree to
recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease and to accept Tenant as a Tenant
of  the  Premises  under  the terms and conditions of this Lease in the event of
acquisition  of  title  by  such  holder  through  foreclosure  proceedings  or
otherwise,  so  long  as  Tenant  is  not  in  default.

SECTION  13.03  -  Estoppel  Certificate.  Within  ten  (10)  days after request
therefor  by  Landlord,  or  in  the  event  that  upon any sale, assignment, or
hypothecation of the Premises and/or the land thereunder by Landlord an estoppel
certificate  shall  be  required  from  Tenant,  Tenant  agrees  to  execute, in
recordable  form,  a  certificate  to any proposed mortgagee or purchaser, or to
Landlord,  certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or, if there have been

<PAGE>

modifications,  that  the  same  is  in  full  force and effect as modified, and
stating  the  modifications),  that there are no defenses or offsets thereto (or
stating  those  claimed by Tenant) and the dates to which Rent and other charges
have  been  paid.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                              SURRENDER OF PREMISES

SECTION 14.01 - Surrender of Premises.  At the expiration or earlier termination
of  this  Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord broom-clean and
in the same condition as when tendered by Landlord, reasonable wear and tear and
insured  casualty  excepted.  Tenant  shall  promptly  repair  any damage to the
Premises  caused  by  the  removal  of  any  furniture, trade fixtures, or other
personal  property  placed  in  the  Premises.

SECTION  14.02  - Holding Over.  Should Tenant, with Landlord's written consent,
hold  over  at the end of the term, Tenant shall become a Tenant at will and any
such holding over shall not consititute an extension of this Lease.  During such
holding  over,  Tenant  shall  pay rent and other charges at the highest monthly
rate  provided  for  herein. If Tenant holds over at the end of the term without
Landlord's  written  consent, Tenant shall pay Landlord as liquidated damages, a
sum  equal  to twice the amount of rent and other charges at the highest monthly
rate  provided  for herein for all the time Tenant shall so retain possession of
the  Premises, together with actual damages sustained by Landlord exceeding such
sum; provided that the exercise of Landlord's rights under this clause shall not
be  interpreted  as  a  grant of permission to Tenant to continue in possession.

                                   ARTICLE XV
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION  15.01  -  Waiver.  The  waiver  by  Landlord of any breach of any term,
covenant,  or  condition  herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
such  term,  covenant,  or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any
other  term,  covenant, or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance
of  rent  hereunder  by  landlord  shall  not  be  deemed  to be a waiver of any
preceding  breach  by  Tenant of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease,
other  than  the  failure  of  Tenant  to pay the particular rental so accepted,
regardless  of  Landlord's  knowledge  of  such  preceding breach at the time of
acceptance  of such rent. No covenant, term, or condition of this Lease shall be
deemed  to  have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver shall be in writing
by  Landlord.

SECTION  15.02  -  Accord  and Satisfaction.  No payment by Tenant or receipt by
Landlord  of  a  lesser  amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be
deemed  to  be  other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall
any  endorsement  or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check
or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept
such  check  or  payment  without  prejudice  to Landlord's right to recover the
balance  of  such  rent  or  pursue  any  other  remedy  in this Lease provided.

<PAGE>

SECTION  15.03  -  Entire  Agreement.  This Lease and the Exhibits and Rider, if
any,  attached  hereto  and  forming a part hereof, set forth all the covenants,
promises, agreements, conditions, and understandings between Landlord and Tenant
concerning  the  Premises,  and  there  are  no covenants, promises, agreements,
conditions,  or  understandings, either oral or written, between them other than
as  are  herein  set  forth.  Except as herein otherwise provided, no subsequent
alteration,  amendment,  change, or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon
Landlord  or  Tenant  unless  reduced  to  writing  and  signed  by  them.

SECTION  15.04  -  No  Partnership.  Landlord  does  not,  in any way or for any
purpose,  become  a  partner  of  Tenant  in  the  conduct  of  its business, or
otherwise,  or  a  joint venturer or a member of a joint enterprise with Tenant.

SECTION  15.05  - Force Majeure.  In the event that Landlord shall be delayed or
hindered  in  or  prevented  from  doing or performing any act or thing required
hereunder  by  reason  of  strikes,  lockouts,  casualties,  Acts  of God, labor
troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, governmental laws or
regulations,  riots,  insurrection,  war  or  other causes beyond the reasonable
control  of  Landlord,  then Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for any
such  delays  and  the doing or performing of such act or thing shall be excused
for  the  period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act
shall  be  extended  for  a  period  equivalent  to  the  period  of such delay.

SECTION 15.06 - Notices.  Any notice, demand, request, or other instrument which
may be or is required to be given under this Lease shall be delivered personally
or  sent  by  either United States certified mail, postage prepaid, or expedited
mail  service, and shall be addressed (a) if to Landlord at the address provided
in  Section  1.01  for  Landlord,  or  at  such  other  address  as Landlord may
designated  by  written  notice, and (b) if to Tenant at the address provided in
Section 1.01 or at such other address as Tenant may designate by written notice.
Notices shall be effective upon delivery unless delivery is refused or cannot be
made,  in  which  event  notice  shall  be  effective  on  mailing.

SECTION  15.07  -  Captions and Section Numbers.  The captions, section numbers,
article numbers, and index appearing in this Lease are inserted only as a matter
of  convenience  and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or
intent  of  such  section  or  articles of this Lease nor in any way affect this
Lease.

SECTION  15.08  -  Tenant  Defined,  Use  of Pronoun. The word "Tenant" shall be
deemed  and  taken  to mean each and every person or party mentioned as a Tenant
herein, be the same one or more; and if there shall be more than one Tenant, any
notice  required  or  permitted by the terms of this lease may be given by or to
any  one  thereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to
all  thereof.  The  use  of  the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Landlord or
Tenant shall be deemed a proper reference, even though Landlord or Tenant may be
an  individual,  a  corporation,  or  a  group  of  two  or  more individuals or
corporations.  The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions
of this Lease apply in the plural sense where there is more than one Landlord or
Tenant  and  to either corporations, associations, partnerships, or individuals,

respect  to  this  Lease  or  the  negotiation  thereof.

SECTION 15.10 - Partial Invalidity.  If any term, covenant, or condition of this
Lease  or  the  application  thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any
extent,  be  invalid  or  unenforceable,  the  remainder  of  this Lease, or the
application  of  such  term,  covenant, or condition to persons or circumstances
other  than  those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be
affected  thereby,  and each term, covenant, or condition of this Lease shall be
valid  and  be  enforced  to  the  fullest  extent  permitted  by  law.

SECTION  15.11  -  Execution  of  Lease.  The  submission  of  this  Lease  for
examination does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises, and
this Lease becomes effective as a Lease only upon execution and delivery thereof
by  Landlord  and  Tenant.  If  Tenant  is  a  corporation, Tenant shall furnish
Landlord  with  such  evidence  as  Landlord reasonably requires to evidence the
binding  effect  on  Tenant  of  the  execution  and  delivery  of  this  Lease.

SECTION  15.12  -  Recording.  Tenant agrees not to record this Lease.  However,
Tenant  and  Landlord,  upon  request  of either, agree to execute and deliver a
memorandum  or  so-called  "short form" of this Lease in recordable form for the

this agreement and that no estate in land capable of being transferred by Tenant
has  been  granted  to  Tenant  under  this  Lease.

SECTION  15.14  -  Time  is  of  the  Essence.  Time  is  of the essence of this
Agreement.

SECTION  15.15  -  Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise provided herein,
this  Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors, and
assigns.

SECTION  15.16  -  Survival  of  Obligations.  The provisions of this Lease with
respect to any obligation of Tenant to pay any sum owing in order to perform any
act  after  the  expiration or other termination of this Lease shall survive the
expiration  or  other  termination  of  this  Lease.

<PAGE>

SECTION  15.17  -  Counterclaim  and Jury Trial.  In the event that the Landlord
commences  any  summary  proceedings  or action for non-payment of rent or other
charges  provided for in this Lease, Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim
of  any  nature  or  description  in  any such proceeding or action.  Tenant and
Landlord  both  waive a trial by jury of any or all issues arising in any action
or proceeding between the parties hereto or their successors, under or connected
with  this  lease,  or  any  of  its  provisions.

SECTION  15.18 - Representations.  Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor
Landlord's  agents,  employees,  or contractors have made any representations or
promises  with  respect  to  the  Premises or this Lease except as expressly set
forth  herein.

SECTION  15.19  - Landlord's Liability.  Landlord's liability hereunder shall be
limited  solely  to the total amount due under the remaining term of this lease.

     IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Landlord and the Tenant have respectively signed
and  sealed  this  lease  as  of  the  day  and  year  first  above  written.
