4.    DELIVERY OF POSSESSION.

If for any reason Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant
on the Commencement Date, and such failure is not caused by an act or omission

impaired nor shall Landlord be subject to any liability for such failure; but
Rent shall be abated until delivery of

                                     Page 2

<PAGE>

possession. Provided, however, if the Commencement Date has been delayed by an
act or omission of Tenant then Rent shall not be abated until delivery of
possession and the Expiration Date shall not be extended. Notwithstanding the
foregoing to the contrary, if Landlord has not delivered the Premises to Tenant,
with all of Landlord's Work substantially complete, on or before August 1, 2005,
for any reason other than delays caused by Tenant and force majeure, then
Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any holdover rent that Tenant's current
landlord charges Tenant and that Tenant actually pays for not vacating Tenant's
current space up and until Landlord delivers possession. Delivery of possession
shall be deemed to occur on the earlier of the date Landlord receives a
Certificate of Occupancy or upon substantial completion of the Premises (as
certified by Landlord's architect) but not earlier than April 1, 2005. If
Landlord permits Tenant to enter into possession of the Premises before the
Commencement Date, such possession shall be subject to the provisions of this
Lease, including, without limitation, the payment of Rent (unless otherwise
agreed in writing).

Following the full execution of the Lease and Landlord's receipt of Certificates
of Insurance evidencing coverage as required under the Lease, Tenant shall be
entitled to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date solely for the
purpose of installing its wiring, trade fixtures, equipment and personal
property therein (provided however, such installation activities shall not
interfere with the completion of Landlord's Work.)

Within ten (10) days of delivery of possession Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
and Tenant shall execute an Acceptance of Premises in which Tenant shall
certify, among other things, that (a) Landlord has satisfactorily completed
Landlord's Work to the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D", unless written
exception is set forth thereon, and (b) that Tenant accepts the Premises.
Tenant's failure to execute and deliver the Acceptance of Premises shall be
conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Landlord has satisfactorily
completed Landlord's Work to the Premises pursuant to Exhibit "D".

In the event Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises following execution
of this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for all
costs incurred by Landlord in connection with entering into this Lease
including, but not limited to, broker fees and commissions, sums paid for the
preparation of a floor and/or space plan for the Premises, costs incurred in
performing Landlord's Work pursuant to Exhibit "D", loss of rental income,
attorneys' fees and costs, and any other damages for breach of this Lease
established by Landlord.

5.    INTENDED USE OF THE PREMISES.

The statement in this Lease of the nature of the business to be conducted by
Tenant in the Premises does not constitute a representation or guaranty by the
Landlord as to the present or future suitability of the Premises for the conduct
of such business in the Premises, or that it is lawful or permissible under the
Certificate of Occupancy issued for the Building, or is otherwise permitted by
law. Tenant's taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as
against Tenant, that, at the time such possession was taken, the Premises were
satisfactory for Tenant's intended use.

6.    RENT.

      6.1. Payment of Rent. Tenant shall pay Rent for the Premises. Monthly
Installments of Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each
calendar month of the Term. If the Term begins (or ends) on other than the first
(or last) day of a calendar month, Rent for the partial month shall be prorated
based on the number of days in that month. Rent shall be paid to Landlord at the
Rent Payment Address set forth in Section 2.8., or to such other person at such
place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, without any prior
demand therefor and without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United
States of America. Tenant shall pay Landlord the first Monthly Installment of
Base Rent upon execution of this Lease.

      6.2. Adjusted Base Rent. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

      6.3. Additional Rent for Increases in Tax Costs and Operating Expenses.
If, in any calendar year during the Term of this Lease, Landlord's Tax Costs and
Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) for the Project (hereinafter
sometimes together referred to as Direct Costs) shall be higher than in the Base
Year specified in Section 2.3., Additional Rent for such Direct Costs payable
hereunder shall be increased by an amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share
of the difference between Landlord's actual Direct Costs for such calendar year
and the actual Direct Costs of the Base Year. However, if during any calendar
year of the Term the occupancy of the Project is less than ninety-five percent
(95%), then Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of the variable
components of Operating Expenses, as reasonably determined by Landlord, to
determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the
Project been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during that calendar year. This
estimated amount shall be deemed the amount of Operating Expenses for that
calendar year. For purposes hereof, "variable components' shall include only
those Operating Expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels.

            6.3.1. Definitions. As used in this Section 6.3.1., the following
      terms shall have the following meanings:

                  6.3.1.1. Tax Costs shall mean any and all real estate taxes,
            other similar charges on real property or improvements, assessments,
            water and sewer charges and all other charges (but in no event
            Landlord's income or estate taxes) assessed, levied, imposed or
            becoming a lien upon part or all of the Project or the appurtenances
            thereto, or

                                     Page 3

      attributable thereto, or on the rents, issues, profits or income received
      or derived therefrom which may be imposed, levied, assessed or charged by
      the United States or the State, County or City in which the Project is
      located, or any other local government authority Agency or political
      subdivision thereof. Tax Costs for each tax year shall be apportioned to
      determine the Tax Costs for the subject calendar years.

            Landlord at Landlord's sole discretion, may contest any taxes levied
      or assessed against the Building or Project during the Term. If Landlord
      contests any taxes levied or assessed during the Term, Tenant shall pay
      Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Share of all costs incurred by Landlord in
      connection with the contest.

            6.3.1.2. Operating Expenses shall mean any and all expenses incurred

      Landlord for electricity, natural gas, air conditioning, steam, water, and
      other utilities furnished to the Project including any taxes thereon;
      reasonable attorneys' fees and/or consultant fees incurred by Landlord in
      contracting with a company or companies to provide electricity (or any
      other utility) to the Project, any fees for the installation, maintenance,
      repair or removal of related equipment, and any exit fees or stranded cost
      charges mandated by the State; the cost and expense for third-party
      consultants, accountants and attorneys; a management fee not greater than
      five percent (5%) of the gross Base Rent and Additional Rent received for
      the project; energy studies and the amortized cost of any energy or other
      cost saving equipment used by Landlord to provide services pursuant to the
      terms of the Lease (including the amortized cost to upgrade the efficiency
      or capacity of Building telecommunication lines and systems if
      responsibility therefor is assumed by Landlord as discussed in Section 35.
      hereof); reasonable reserves for replacements as may be customary in the
      geographic area in which the Project is located; the cost of license fees
      related to the Project; the cost of all charges for property (all risk),
      liability, rent loss and all other insurance for the Project to the extent
      that such insurance is required to be carried by Landlord under any lease,
      mortgage or deed of trust covering the whole or a substantial part of the
      Project or the Building, or, if not required under any such lease,
      mortgage or deed of trust, then to the extent such insurance is carried by
      owners of properties comparable to the Project; the cost of all building
      and cleaning supplies and materials; the cost of all charges for security
      services, cleaning, maintenance and service contracts and other services

      of any intra-building cabling network ("ICN"); and the cost of any
      janitorial, utility or other services to be provided by Landlord.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be included
      within Operating Expenses: (i) costs of capital improvements, including to
      the roof and foundation (except any improvements that might be deemed
      "capital improvements" related to the enhancement or upgrade of the ICN
      and related equipment) and costs of curing design or construction defects;
      (ii) depreciation; (iii) interest and principal payments on mortgages and
      other debt costs and ground lease payments, if any, and any penalties

      building code, governmental rule, regulation or law; (ix) except for the
      referenced management compensation, any overhead or profit increments to

      defined in Section 9.6 herein) which was in violation of applicable laws
      at time of introduction; (xiv) costs incurred by Landlord to rectify any
      violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (including

                                     Page 4
<PAGE>

            costs relating to maintaining Landlord's existence, either as a
            corporation, partnership, or other entity such as trustee's fees,
            annual fees, partnership or organization or administration expenses
            and deed recordation expenses.

      6.4.  Determination and Payment of Tax Costs and Operating Expenses.

            6.4.1. On or before the last day of each December during the Term of
      this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement showing
      in reasonable detail Landlord's projected Direct Costs for the succeeding
      calendar year. If such statement of projected Direct Costs indicates the
      Direct Costs will be higher than in the Base Year, then the Rent due from
      Tenant hereunder for the next succeeding year shall be increased by an
      amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the difference between the
      projected Direct Costs for the calendar year and the Base Year. If during
      the course of the calendar year Landlord determines that actual Direct
      Costs will vary from its estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord
      may deliver to Tenant a written statement showing Landlord's revised
      estimate of Direct Costs. On the next payment date for Monthly
      Installments of Rent following Tenant's receipt of either such statement,
      Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional amount equal to such monthly
      Rent increase adjustment (as set forth on Landlord's statement).
      Thereafter, the monthly Rent adjustment payments becoming due shall be in
      the amount set forth in such projected Rent adjustment statement from
      Landlord. Neither Landlord's failure to deliver nor late delivery of such
      statement shall constitute a default by Landlord or a waiver of Landlord's
      right to any Rent adjustment provided for herein.

            6.4.2. On or before the first day of each April during the Term of
      this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement of
      reconciliation (the Reconciliation) showing in reasonable detail
      Landlord's actual Direct Costs for the prior year, together with a full
      statement of any adjustments necessary to reconcile any sums paid as
      estimated Rent adjustments during the prior year with those sums actually
      payable for such prior year. In the event such Reconciliation shows that
      additional sums are due from Tenant, Tenant shall pay such sums to
      Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Reconciliation. In the
      event such Reconciliation shows that a credit is due Tenant, such credit
      shall be credited against the sums next becoming due from Tenant, unless
      this Lease has expired or been terminated pursuant to the terms hereof
      (and all sums due Landlord have been paid), in which event such sums shall
      be refunded to Tenant. Neither Landlord's failure to deliver nor late
      delivery of such Reconciliation to Tenant by April first shall constitute
      a default by Landlord or operate as a waiver of Landlord's right to
      collect all Rent due hereunder.

            6.4.3. So long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of the
      Lease and provided Notice of Tenant's request is given to Landlord within
      thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Reconciliation, Tenant may
      inspect Landlord's Reconciliation accounting records relating to Direct
      Costs at Landlord's corporate office, during normal business hours, for
      the purpose of verifying the charges contained in such statement. The
      audit must be completed within sixty (60) days of Landlord's receipt of
      Tenant's Notice, unless such period is extended by Landlord (in Landlord's
      reasonable discretion). Before conducting any audit however, Tenant must
      pay in full the amount of Direct Costs billed. Tenant may only review
      those records that specifically relate to Direct Costs. Tenant may not
      review any other leases or Landlord's tax returns or financial statements.
      In conducting an audit, Tenant must utilize an independent certified
      public accountant experienced in auditing records related to commercial
      property operations. The proposed accountant is subject to Landlord's
      reasonable prior approval. The audit shall be conducted in accordance with
      generally accepted rules of auditing practices. Tenant may not conduct an
      audit more often than once each calendar year. Tenant may audit records
      relating to a calendar year only one time. No audit shall cover a period
      of time other than the calendar year from which Landlord's Reconciliation
      was generated. Upon receipt thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a
      copy of the audit report and all accompanying data. Tenant and Tenant's
      auditor shall keep confidential any agreements involving the rights
      provided in this section and the results of any audit conducted hereunder.
      As a condition precedent to Tenant's right to conduct an audit, Tenant's
      auditor shall sign a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably
      acceptable to Landlord. However, Tenant shall be permitted to furnish
      information to its attorneys, accountants and auditors to the extent
      necessary to perform their respective services for Tenant. In the event
      Tenant's audit of Landlord's books and records reveals an error in
      Landlord's computation of Direct Costs such that Direct Costs for the
      Building for the year in question were overstated in an amount greater
      than five percent (5%) Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for the
      reasonable costs expended by Tenant in performing such audit, excluding
      travel expenses. If such audit reveals that Landlord has over-charged
      Tenant, then Landlord shall promptly reimburse to Tenant the amount of
      such over-charge.

      6.5. Definition of Rent. All costs and expenses other than Base Rent, that
Tenant assumes or agrees or is obligated to pay to Landlord under this Lease
shall be deemed Additional Rent (which, together with the Base Rent, is
sometimes referred to as Rent).

      6.6. Taxes on Tenant's Use and Occupancy. In addition to the Rent and any
other charges to be paid by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon
demand for any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than net income taxes)
which are not otherwise reimbursable under this Lease, whether or not now
customary or within the contemplation of the parties, where such taxes are upon,
measured by or reasonably attributable to (a) the cost or value of Tenant's
equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the
Premises, or the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the

                                     Page 5
<PAGE>

Premises by or for Tenant, other than Building Standard Tenant Improvements made
by Landlord, regardless of whether title to such improvements is held by Tenant
or Landlord; (b) the gross or net Rent payable under this Lease, including,
without limitation, any rental or gross receipts tax levied by any taxing
authority with respect to the receipt of the Rent hereunder; (c) the possession,
leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or
occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (d) this
transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring
an interest or an estate in the Premises. If it becomes unlawful for Tenant to
reimburse Landlord for any costs as required under this Lease, the Base Rent
shall be revised to net Landlord the same net Rent after imposition of any tax
or other charge upon Landlord as would have been payable to Landlord but for the
reimbursement being unlawful.

7.    LATE CHARGES.

If Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or other amounts or charges which
Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease, then Tenant shall pay
Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of each such installment if
any such installment is not received by Landlord within five (5) days from the
date it is due. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of any Rent will cause
Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and expenses not
contemplated under this Lease including, without limitation, administrative
costs and processing and accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is
extremely difficult to ascertain. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late
charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair
compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered as a result of such late payment
by Tenant. However, the late charge is not intended to cover Landlord's
attorneys' fees and costs relating to delinquent Rent. Acceptance of any late
charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such
late payment by nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or
remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Late charges are deemed
Additional Rent.

In no event shall this provision for the imposition of a late charge be deemed
to grant to Tenant a grace period or an extension of time within which to pay
any Rent due hereunder or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy
available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay such Rent when due.

8.    SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord a Security
Deposit in the amount set forth in Section 2.16. as security for Tenant's
performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that
the Security Deposit may be commingled with funds of Landlord and Landlord shall
have no obligation or liability for payment of interest on such deposit. Tenant
shall not mortgage, assign, transfer or encumber the Security Deposit without
the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt by Tenant to do so shall
be void, without force or effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord.

If Tenant fails to timely pay any Rent or other amount due under this Lease, or
fails to perform any of the terms hereof, Landlord may, at its option and
without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have, appropriate and
apply or use all or any portion of the Security Deposit for Rent payments or any
other amount then due and unpaid, for payment of any amount for which Landlord
has become obligated as a result of Tenant's default or breach, and for any loss
or damage sustained by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default or breach. If
Landlord so uses any of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10)
business days after written demand therefor, restore the Security Deposit to the
full amount originally deposited. Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute an
act of default hereunder and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any
remedy provided for in Section 19 hereof.

If Tenant defaults under this Lease more than two (2) times during any calendar
year, irrespective of whether such default is cured, then, without limiting
Landlord's other rights and remedies, Landlord may, in Landlord's sole
discretion, modify the amount of the required Security Deposit. Within ten (10)
business days after Notice of such modification, Tenant shall submit to Landlord
the required additional sums. Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute an act
of default, and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any remedy provided
for in Section 19 hereof.

If Tenant complies with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and
Tenant is not in default on any of its obligations hereunder, then upon the
earlier of (i) thirty (30) days from the Expiration Date or (ii) within the time
period statutorily prescribed after Tenant vacates the Premises, Landlord shall
return to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last subtenant or assignee of
Tenant's interest hereunder) the Security Deposit less any expenditures made by
Landlord to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant and to clean the
Premises upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

9.    TENANT'S USE OF THE PREMISES.

The provisions of this Section are for the benefit of the Landlord and are not
nor shall they be construed to be for the benefit of any tenant of the Building
or Project.

      9.1. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth
in Section 2.20. No change in the Use of the Premises shall be permitted, except
as provided in this Section 9.

                                     Page 6
<PAGE>

            9.1.1. If, at any time during the Term hereof, Tenant desires to
      change the Use of the Premises, including any change in Use associated
      with a proposed assignment or sublet of the Premises, Tenant shall provide
      Notice to Landlord of its request for approval of such proposed change in
      Use. Tenant shall promptly supply Landlord with such information
      concerning the proposed change in Use as Landlord may reasonably request.
      Landlord shall have the right to approve such proposed change in Use,
      which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord's consent to
      any change in Use shall not be construed as a consent to any subsequent
      change in Use.

      9.2. Observance of Law. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises or
permit anything to be done in or about the Premises in violation of any
declarations, covenant, condition or restriction, or law, statute, ordinance or
governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may
hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense,
upon Notice from Landlord, immediately discontinue any use of the Premises which
is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to be a violation
of law or of the Certificate of Occupancy. Tenant shall promptly comply, at its
sole cost and expense, with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental
rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be
imposed which shall by reason of Tenant's Use or occupancy of the Premises,
impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to Tenant's Use or
occupation. Further, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, bring the
Premises into compliance with all such laws, including the Americans With
Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (ADA), whether or not the necessity for
compliance is triggered by Tenant's Use, and Tenant shall make, at its sole cost
and expense, any changes to the Premises required to accommodate Tenant's
employees with disabilities (any work performed pursuant to this Section shall
be subject to the terms of Section 12. hereof). Landlord agrees to construct the
Landlord's Work to be performed in the Premises pursuant to Section 12.1 of this
Lease (subject to the Allowance), in compliance with all applicable laws,
including the ADA. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the
admission by Tenant in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether Landlord
is a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such law, statute,
ordinance, or governmental regulation, rule or requirement in the use or
occupancy of the Premises, Building or Project shall be conclusive of that fact
as between Landlord and Tenant. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense (except
to the extent properly included in Operating Expenses), shall be responsible for
correcting any violations of the ADA with respect to the Premises and the Common
Areas of the Building, provided that Landlord's obligation with respect to the
Premises shall be limited to violations that arise out of the Landlord's Work
(as defined in Section 37 of the Addendum) to be performed pursuant to Exhibit
"D" attached hereto and/or the condition of the Premises prior to the
installation of any furniture, equipment and other personal property to Tenant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may contest any alleged violations,
including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or
deferment of compliance, may assert any and all defenses permitted by law and
may appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings as permitted by law.

      9.3. Insurance. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which
will contravene, invalidate or increase the cost of any insurance policy
covering the Building or Project and/or property located therein, and shall
comply with all rules, orders, regulations, requirements and recommendations of
Landlord's insurance carrier(s) or any board of fire insurance underwriters or
other similar body now or hereafter constituted, relating to or affecting the
condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes not
related to or affected by Tenant's improvements or acts. Tenant shall promptly
upon demand reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for violation
of this Section.

      9.4. Nuisance and Waste. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done
in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the
rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or Project, or injure or
annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, unlawful
or objectionable purpose. Tenant shall not cause, maintain or permit any
nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be
committed any waste in or upon the Premises.

      9.5. Load and Equipment Limits. Tenant shall not place a load upon any
floor of the Premises which exceeds the load per square foot which such floor
was designed to carry as determined by Landlord or Landlord's structural
engineer. The cost of any such determination made by Landlord's structural
engineer in connection with Tenant's occupancy shall be paid by Tenant upon
Landlord's demand. Tenant shall not install business machines or mechanical
equipment which will in any manner cause noise objectionable to or injure other
tenants in the Project. Tenant shall have reasonable access to two (2) shared
loading docks located on the first (1st) floor of the Premises.

      9.6. Hazardous Material. Unless Tenant obtains the prior written consent
of Landlord, Tenant shall not create, generate, use, bring, allow, emit,
dispose, or permit on the Premises, Building or Project any toxic or hazardous
gaseous, liquid, or solid material or waste, or any other hazardous material
defined or listed in any applicable federal, state or local law, rule,
regulation or ordinance ("Hazardous Material"). If Landlord grants its consent,
Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws with respect to such Hazardous
Material, including all laws affecting the use, storage and disposal thereof. If
the presence of any Hazardous Material brought to the Premises, Building or
Project by Tenant or Tenant's employees, agent or contractors results in
contamination, Tenant shall promptly take all actions necessary, at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, to remediate the contamination and restore the Premises,
Building or Project to the condition that existed before introduction of such
Hazardous Material. Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's approval of the
proposed remedial action and shall keep Landlord informed during the process of
remediation.

                                     Page 7
<PAGE>

Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any claims,
liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by Landlord arising from
such bringing, allowing, using, permitting, generating, creating, emitting, or
disposing of toxic or Hazardous Material whether or not consent to same has been
granted by Landlord. Tenant's duty to defend, hold-harmless and indemnify
Landlord hereunder shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
The consent requirement contained herein shall not apply to ordinary office
products that may contain de minimis quantities of Hazardous Material; however,
Tenant's indemnification obligations are not diminished with respect to the
presence of such products. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has an affirmative
duty to immediately notify Landlord of any release or suspected release of
Hazardous Material in the Premises or on or about the Project.

Landlord represents that, to its actual knowledge and without the requirement of
further investigation, any emission, handling, transportation, storage,
treatment or usage of hazardous materials that has occurred on the Premises
prior to the execution date of the Lease has been substantially in compliance
with all applicable federal state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant for any damages,
costs, liability, etc. to the extent arising from any hazardous materials
existing in the Premises as of the date of execution hereof, as well as any
hazardous materials introduced onto the Premises by Landlord after the date of
execution of the Lease.

Medical waste and any other waste, the removal of which is regulated, shall be
contracted for and disposed of by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, in accordance
with all applicable laws and regulations. No material shall be placed in Project
trash boxes, receptacles or Common Areas if the material is of such a nature
that it cannot be disposed of in the ordinary and customary manner of removing
and disposing of trash and garbage in the State without being in violation of
any law or ordinance.

10.   SERVICES AND UTILITIES.

Landlord agrees to furnish services and utilities to the Premises during normal
business hours on generally recognized business days subject to the Rules and
Regulations of the Building or Project and provided that Tenant is not in
default hereunder. Services and utilities shall include reasonable quantities of
electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) as required in
Landlord's reasonable judgment for the comfortable use and occupancy of the
Premises; lighting replacement for building standard lights; window washing and
janitor services in a manner that such services are customarily furnished to
comparable office buildings in the area. Landlord shall supply common area water
for drinking, cleaning and restroom purposes only. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense, shall supply all paper and other products used within the Premises.
During normal business hours on generally recognized business days, Landlord
shall also maintain and keep lighted the common stairs, common entries and
restrooms in the Building and shall furnish elevator service and restroom
supplies. Landlord may provide telecommunications lines and systems as discussed
in Section 35, hereof. Landlord represents that it previously replaced two (2)
of the roof top HVAC units and that Landlord shall replace the two (2)
non-dedicated primary rooftop HVAC units within two (2) years of the date of
execution of this Lease, at Landlord's sole cost and expense.

If permitted by law, Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord's reasonable
discretion, at any time and from time to time during the Term, to contract for
the provision of electricity (or any other utility) with, and to switch from,
any company providing such utility. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and any
such utility provider at all times, and, as reasonably necessary, Tenant shall
allow such parties access to the electric (or other utility) lines, feeders,
risers, wiring and other machinery located within the Premises.

Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damages directly
or indirectly resulting from, nor shall Rent be abated by reason of (a) the
installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the
furnishing of any of the foregoing services, or (b) failure to furnish or delay
in furnishing any such services where such failure or delay is caused by
accident or any condition or event beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or
by the making of necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises, Building or
Project, or (c) any change, failure, interruption, disruption or defect in the
quantity or character of the electricity (or other utility) supplied to the
Premises or Project, or (d) the limitation, curtailment or rationing of, or
restrictions on, use of water, electricity, gas or any other form of energy
serving the Premises, Building or Project. Landlord shall not be liable under
any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property or business, however
occurring, through, in connection with or incidental to the failure to furnish
any such services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the HVAC and electrical
services Landlord is required to provide to the Premises hereunder are not
provided to the Premises for a period of more than five (5) consecutive days
following Landlord's notice from Tenant of the absence of such service(s), and
if a materially adverse effect on Tenant's ability to conduct its business in
the Premises results from the absence of such service(s), such that Tenant is
prevented from using and does not use the Premises or any portion thereof, then
all rental under this Lease shall abate starting of the sixth (6th) consecutive
day and continuing during the period such service(s) is not provided in
proportion to the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using
and does not use and such abatement shall continue until such date and time as
such service(s) is re-established.

Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, use any
apparatus or device in the Premises, including, without limitation, electronic
data processing machines, punch card machines, word processing equipment,
personal computers, or machines using in excess of 220 volts, which consumes
more electricity than is usually furnished or supplied for the use of desk top
office equipment and photocopy equipment ordinarily in use in premises
designated as general office space, as determined by Landlord.

the right to purchase electricity from a provider other than the company or
companies used by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
Landlord from and against all losses, claims, demands, expenses and judgments
caused by, or directly or indirectly arising from, the acts or omissions of

provide sufficient power to the Premises, as well as damages resulting from the
improper or faulty installation or construction of facilities or equipment in or
on the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's electricity provider.

Premises and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, operation and
maintenance thereof, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand therefor.

      as are reasonably required to so maintain the Premises. If Tenant fails to

      at the expense of Tenant as are reasonably required to perform such work.

      11.3. Compliance with Law. Landlord and Tenant shall each do all acts
necessary to comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, and rules of
any public authority relating to their respective maintenance obligations as set

shall give Landlord prompt Notice, regardless of the nature or cause, of any
damage to or defective condition in any part or appurtenance of the Building's

by this Lease or by any other tenant's lease or required by law to make in or to
any portion of the Project, Building or Premises. Landlord shall nevertheless
use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant's conduct of its
business in the Premises.

cost and expense, that Tenant provide Landlord with a lien and completion bond
in an amount equal to at least one and one-half (1-1/2) times the total
estimated cost of any additions, alterations or improvements to be made in or to

prior to the expiration of the Term, elects to have Tenant remove any Leasehold

      14.1. Tenant Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any and all liability and claims of any kind for loss
or damage to any person or property arising out of: (a) Tenant's use and

thing done, allowed or suffered by Tenant in, on or about the Premises, the
Building or the Project; (b) any breach or default by Tenant of any of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease; or (c) any negligent or otherwise tortious act or
omission of Tenant, its agents, employees, subtenants, licensees, customers,

at Tenant's expense, and by counsel satisfactory to Landlord, defend Landlord in
any action or proceeding arising from any such claim. Tenant shall indemnify
Landlord against all costs, attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and any other
expenses or liabilities incurred in such action or proceeding. As a material
part of the consideration for Landlord's execution of this Lease, Tenant hereby
assumes all risk of damage or injury to any person or property in, on or about
the Premises from any cause and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect
thereof against Landlord, except in connection with damage or injury resulting
solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its
authorized agents.

      14.2. Landlord Not Liable. Landlord shall not be liable for injury or
damage which may be sustained by the person or property of Tenant, its
employees, invitees or customers, or any other person in or about the Premises,
caused by or resulting from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain which
may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, or from the breakage,
leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances,
plumbing, air conditioning, lighting fixtures or mechanical or electrical
systems, whether such damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the
Premises or upon other portions of the Building or Project or from other
sources, unless the condition was the sole result of Landlord's gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from
any act or omission of any other tenant of the Building or Project or for the
acts of persons in, on or about the Premises, Building or the Project who are
not the authorized agents of Landlord or for losses due to theft, vandalism or
like causes.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's election to provide mechanical surveillance
or to post security personnel in the Building or on the Project is solely within
Landlord's discretion. Landlord shall have no liability in connection with the
decision whether or not to provide such services, and, to the extent permitted
by law, Tenant hereby waives all claims based thereon.

15.   TENANT'S INSURANCE.

      15.1.Insurance Requirement. Tenant shall procure and maintain insurance
coverage in accordance with the terms hereof, either as specific policies or
within blanket policies. Coverage shall begin on the date Tenant is given access
to the Premises for any purpose and shall continue until expiration of the Term,
except as otherwise set forth in the Lease. The cost of such insurance shall be
borne by Tenant.

Insurance shall be with insurers licensed to do business in the State, and
acceptable to Landlord. The insurers must have a current A.M. Best's rating of
not less than A: VII, or equivalent (as reasonably determined by Landlord) if
the Best's rating system is discontinued.

Tenant shall furnish Landlord with original certificates and amendatory
endorsements effecting coverage required by this Section 15. before the date
Tenant is first given access to the Premises. All certificates and endorsements
are to be received and approved by Landlord before any work commences. Landlord
reserves the right to inspect and/or copy any insurance policy required to be
maintained by Tenant hereunder, or to require complete, certified copies of all
required insurance policies, including endorsements effecting the coverage
required herein at any time. Tenant shall comply with such requirement within
thirty (30) days of demand therefor by Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord
with renewal certificates and amendments or a "binder" of any such policy at
least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration thereof. Each insurance policy
required herein shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be canceled,
except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Landlord's
lender (if such lender's address is provided).

The Commercial General Liability policy, as hereinafter required, shall contain,
or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions: (a) Landlord and any
parties designated by Landlord shall be covered as additional insureds as their
respective interests may appear; and (b) Tenant's insurance coverage shall be
primary insurance as to any insurance carried by the parties designated as
additional insureds. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by Landlord
shall be excess of Tenant's insurance and shall not contribute with it.

      15.2.Minimum Scope of Coverage. Coverage shall be at least as broad as set
forth herein. However, if, because of Tenant's Use or occupancy of the Premises,
Landlord determines, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, that additional
insurance coverage or different types of insurance are necessary, then Tenant
shall obtain such insurance at Tenant's expense in accordance with the terms of
this Section 15.

            15.2.1. Commercial General Liability (ISO occurrence form CG 00 01)
      which shall cover liability arising from Tenant's Use and occupancy of the
      Premises, its operations therefrom, Tenant's independent contractors,
      products-completed operations, personal injury and advertising injury, and
      liability assumed under an insured contract.

      (including flood, if applicable), earthquake excepted, for: (a) all
      leasehold improvements (including any alterations, additions or
      improvements made by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.
      hereof) in, on or about the Premises; and (b) trade fixtures, merchandise
      and Tenant's Property from time to time in, on or about the Premises. The
      proceeds of such property insurance shall be used for the repair or
      replacement of the property so insured. Upon termination of this Lease
      following a casualty as set forth herein, the proceeds under (a) shall be
      paid to Landlord, and the proceeds under (b) above shall be paid to
      Tenant.

            15.2.4. Business Auto Liability.

Landlord shall, during the Term hereof, maintain in effect similar insurance on
the Building and Common Area.

            15.2.5. Business Interruption and Extra Expense Insurance.

      15.3. Minimum Limits of Insurance. Tenant shall maintain limits not less
            than:

            15.3.1. Commercial General Liability: $1,000,000 per occurrence. If
      the insurance contains a general aggregate limit, either the general
      aggregate limit shall apply separately to this location or the general
      aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

            15.3.2. Employer's Liability: $1,000,000 per accident for bodily
      injury or disease.

            15.3.3. Commercial Property Insurance: 100% replacement cost with no

            15.3.5. Business Interruption and Extra Expense Insurance: In a
      reasonable amount and comparable to amounts carried by comparable tenants
      in comparable projects.

      15.4. Deductible and Self-Insured Retention. Any deductible or
self-insured retention in excess of $25,000 per occurrence must be declared to
and approved by Landlord. At the option of Landlord, either the insurer shall
reduce or eliminate such deductible or self-insured retention or Tenant shall
provide separate insurance conforming to this requirement.

      15.5. Increases in Insurance Policy Limits. If the coverage limits set
forth in this Section 15. are deemed inadequate by Landlord or Landlord's
lender, then Tenant shall increase the coverage limits to the amounts reasonably
recommended by either Landlord or Landlord's lender. Landlord agrees that any
such required increases in coverage limits shall not occur more frequently than
once every three (3) years.

      15.6. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive all
rights of recovery against the other and against the officers, employees, agents
and representatives, contractors and invitees of the other, on account of loss
by or damage to the waiving party or its property or the property of others
under its control, to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against
under any insurance policy which may have been in force at the time of such loss
or damage.

      15.7. Landlord's Right to Obtain Insurance for Tenant. If Tenant is in
default for failing to obtain the insurance coverage or provide certificates and
endorsements as required by this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, obtain such
insurance for Tenant. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, the reasonable cost
thereof together with a twenty-five percent (25%) service charge.

16.   DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

      16.1. Damage. If, during the Term of this Lease, the Premises or the
portion of the Building necessary for Tenant's occupancy is damaged by fire or
other casualty covered by fire and extended coverage insurance carried by
Landlord, Landlord shall promptly repair the damage provided (a) such repairs
can, in Landlord's opinion, be completed, under applicable laws and regulations,
within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such construction
is issued by the governing authority, (b) insurance proceeds are available to
pay eighty percent (80%) or more of the cost of restoration, and (c) Tenant
performs its obligations pursuant to Section 16.4, hereof. In such event, this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that if such damage is not
the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents or
employees, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent to the
extent Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired, commencing with the date of
damage and continuing until completion of the repairs required of Landlord under
Section 16.4. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents
or employees and loss of rental income insurance is denied as a result, there
shall be no abatement of Rent.

      Notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, in the
event of partial or total damage or destruction of the Premises during the last
twelve (12) months of the Term, either party shall

                                     Page 12
<PAGE>

have the option to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior Notice to
the other party provided such Notice is served within thirty (30) days after the
damage or destruction. For purposes of this Section 16.1., "partial damage or
destruction" shall mean the damage or destruction of at least thirty-three and
one-third percent (33 and 1/3%) of the Premises, as determined by Landlord in
Landlord's reasonable discretion.

      16.2. Repair of Premises in Excess of One Hundred Eighty Days. If in
Landlord's opinion, such repairs to the Premises or portion of the Building
necessary for Tenant's occupancy cannot be completed under applicable laws and
regulations within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such
construction is issued by the governing authority, Landlord may elect, upon
Notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or
other casualty, to repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue
in full force and effect, but Rent shall be partially abated as provided in this
Section 1. If Landlord does not so elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date of such fire or other casualty.

      16.3. Repair Outside Premises. If any other portion of the Building or
Project is totally destroyed or damaged to the extent that in Landlord's opinion
repair thereof cannot be completed under applicable laws and regulations within
one hundred eighty (180) days of the date a permit for such construction is
issued by the governing authority, Landlord may elect upon Notice to Tenant
given within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or other casualty, to
repair such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, but Rent shall be partially abated as provided in this Section 16. If
Landlord does not elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of
the date of such fire or other casualty.

      16.4. Tenant Repair. If the Premises are to be repaired under this Section
16., Landlord shall repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building and
Building Standard Tenant Improvements, if any. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform
work other than Landlord's Work performed previously pursuant to Section 12.1.
hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the repair,
restoration and replacement of any other Leasehold Improvements and Tenant's
Property (as well as reconstructing and reconnecting Tenant's internal
telecommunications wiring and related equipment). Landlord shall not be liable
for any loss of business, inconvenience or annoyance arising from any repair or
restoration of any portion of the Premises, Building or Project as a result of
any damage from fire or other casualty.

      16.5. Election Not to Perform Landlord's Work. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall provide Notice to Tenant of its
intent to repair or replace the Premises (if Landlord elects to perform such
work), and, within ten (10) days of its receipt of such Notice, Tenant shall
provide Notice to Landlord of its intent to reoccupy the Premises. Should Tenant
fail to provide such Notice to Landlord, then such failure shall be deemed an
election by Tenant not to re-occupy the Premises and Landlord may elect not to
perform the repair or replacement of the Premises. Such election shall not
result in a termination of this Lease and all obligations of Tenant hereunder
shall remain in full force and effect, including the obligation to pay Rent.

      16.6. Express Agreement. This Lease shall be considered an express
agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Premises,
Building or Project by fire or other casualty, and any present or future law
which purports to govern the rights of Landlord and Tenant in such circumstances
in the absence of an express agreement shall have no application.

17.   EMINENT DOMAIN.

      17.1. Whole Taking. If the whole of the Building or Premises is lawfully
taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public
purpose, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking, and Rent
shall be prorated to such date.

      17.2. Partial Taking. If less than the whole of the Building or Premises
is so taken, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, provided that (a)
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by Notice to Landlord given
within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking if twenty percent (20%) or
more of the Premises is taken and the remaining area of the Premises is not
reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue operation of its business, and (b)
Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by Notice to Tenant given
within ninety (90) days after the date of such taking. If either Landlord or
Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall terminate on the
thirtieth (30th) calendar day after either such Notice. Rent shall be prorated
to the date of termination. If this Lease continues in force upon such partial
taking, Base Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be equitably adjusted.

      17.3. Proceeds. In the event of any taking, partial or whole, all of the
proceeds of any award, judgment or settlement payable by the condemning
authority shall be the exclusive property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns
to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any award, judgment or
settlement from the condemning authority; however, Tenant shall have the right,
to the extent that Landlord's award is not reduced or prejudiced, to claim from
the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) such compensation as may be
recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation expenses and damage to
Tenant's Property and damage to Leasehold Improvements installed at the sole
expense of Tenant.

      17.4. Landlord's Restoration. In the event of a partial taking of the
Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord shall
restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to its
condition prior to the condemnation or taking; provided however, Landlord shall
not be

                                     Page 13
<PAGE>

obligated to perform work other than Landlord's Work performed previously
pursuant to Section 12.1. hereof. Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost
and expense for the repair, restoration and replacement of Tenant's Property and
any other Leasehold Improvements.

18.   ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

No assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises shall
be permitted, except as provided in this Section 18.

      18.1. No Assignment or Subletting. Tenant shall not, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, assign or hypothecate this Lease or any interest
herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the
Premises or any part thereof by any party other than Tenant. Any of the
foregoing acts without such consent shall be voidable and shall, at the option
of Landlord, constitute a default hereunder. This Lease shall not, nor shall any
interest of Tenant herein, be assignable by operation of law without the prior
written consent of Landlord.

            18.1.1. For purposes of this Section 18., the following shall be
      deemed an assignment:

                  18.1.1.1. If Tenant is a partnership, any withdrawal or
            substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of
            law, and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of
            any partner(s) owning twenty-five (25%) or more (cumulatively) of
            any interest in the capital or profits of the partnership, or the
            dissolution of the partnership;

                  18.1.1.2. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
                  consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, any sale or
                  transfer (or cumulative sales or transfers) of the capital
                  stock of Tenant in excess of twenty-five percent (25%), or
                  any sale (or cumulative sales) or transfer of fifty-one (51%)
                  or more of the value of the assets of Tenant provided,
                  however, the foregoing shall not apply to corporations the
                  capital stock of which is publicly traded. Notwithstanding the
                  foregoing, so long as Tenant's Use does not change. Tenant
                  shall have the right to assign the Lease without Landlord's
                  consent to: i) Tenant's wholly-owned subsidiary; ii) Tenant's
                  parent corporation, or subsidiary of parent corporation: iii)
                  the surviving entity if Tenant merges or consolidates (it
                  being agreed that such merger or consolidation shall be
                  permitted subject to the provisions of this clause (iii)),
                  provided that the surviving entity has a net worth at least
                  equal to that of Tenant prior to such merger or consolidation:
                  iv) in the event of a public offering of Tenant's shares on a
                  major national stock exchange, or (v) in the event of a sale
                  of substantially all assets of the Tenant. In the event of
                  such an assignment. Tenant shall provide Landlord prior
                  written notice of the assignment, which notice shall include
                  the identity of the assignee, the anticipated date of the
                  assignment and the forwarding address of the assignor, if
                  applicable. Nothing contained herein shall relieve Tenant (or
                  the assignor, as the case may be) of its obligations under the
                  Lease.

      18.2. Landlord's Consent. If, at any time or from time to time during the
Term hereof, Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of
the Premises, and if Tenant is not then in default under the terms of the Lease,
Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written request for approval setting forth the
terms and provisions of the proposed assignment or sublease, the identity of the
proposed assignee or subtenant, and a copy of the proposed form of assignment or
sublease. Tenant's request for consent shall be submitted to Landlord at least
thirty (30) days prior to the intended date of such transfer. Tenant shall
promptly supply Landlord with such information concerning the business
background and financial condition of such proposed assignee or subtenant as
Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have the right to approve such
proposed assignee or subtenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In no event however, shall Landlord be required to consent to any
assignment or sublease (a) to an existing tenant in the Project or (b) that may
violate any restrictions contained in any mortgage, lease or agreement affecting
the Project. Landlord's consent to any assignment shall not be construed as a
consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, transfer of partnership
interest or stock, occupancy or use.

            18.2.1. Landlord's approval shall be conditioned, among other
      things, on Landlord's receiving adequate assurances of future performance
      under this Lease and any sublease or assignment. In determining the
      adequacy of such assurances, Landlord may base its decision on such
      factors as it deems appropriate, including but not limited to:

                  18.2.1.1. that the source of rent and other consideration due
            under this Lease, and, in the case of assignment, that the financial
            condition and operating performance and business experience of the
            proposed assignee and its guarantors, if any, shall be equal to or
            greater than the financial condition and operating performance and
            experience of Tenant and its guarantors, if any, as of the time
            Tenant became the lessee under this Lease;

                  18.2.1.2. that any assumption or assignment of this Lease will
            not result in increased cost or expense, wear and tear, greater
            traffic or demand for services and

                                     Page 14
<PAGE>

            utilities provided by Landlord pursuant to Section 10. hereof and
            will not disturb or be detrimental to other tenants of Landlord;

                  18.2.1.3. whether the proposed assignee's use of the Premises
            will include the use of Hazardous Material, or will in any way
            increase any risk to Landlord relating to Hazardous Material; and

                  18.2.1.4.

            18.2.2. The assignment or sublease shall be on the same terms and
      conditions set forth in the written request for approval given to
      Landlord, or, if different, upon terms and conditions consented to by
      Landlord;

            18.2.3. No assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or
      sublessee shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof until
      an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease has been delivered
      to Landlord;

            18.2.4. No assignee or sublessee shall have a further right to
      assign or sublet except on the terms herein contained;

            18.2.5. Any sums or other economic considerations received by Tenant
      as a result of such assignment or subletting, however denominated under
      the assignment or sublease, which exceed, in the aggregate (a) the total
      sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated
      to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises
      subleased), plus (b) any real estate brokerage commissions or fees payable
      to third parties in connection with such assignment or subletting, shall
      be shared equally by Tenant and Landlord as Additional Rent under this
      Lease without effecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant
      hereunder.

If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
three (3) fully executed original documents (in the form previously approved by
Landlord) and Landlord shall attach its consent thereto. Landlord shall retain
one (1) fully executed original document. No transfer of Tenant's interest in
this Lease shall be deemed effective until the terms and conditions of this
Section 18. have been fulfilled.

      18.3. Tenant Remains Responsible. No subletting or assignment shall
release Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease or alter the primary
liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be
performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other
person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.
Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any
subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of default by an assignee or
subtenant of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the
terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity
of exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor. Landlord
may consent to subsequent assignments or sublets of the Lease or amendments or
modifications to the Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant,
or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto
and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

      18.4. Conversion to a Limited Liability Entity. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, if Tenant is a limited or general partnership
(or is comprised of two (2) or more persons, individually or as co-partners, or
entities), the change or conversion of Tenant to (a) a limited liability
company, (b) a limited liability partnership, or (c) any other entity which
possesses the characteristics of limited liability (any such limited liability
entity is collectively referred to herein as a "Successor Entity") shall be
prohibited unless the prior written consent of Landlord is obtained, which
consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.

            18.4.1. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, Landlord agrees not
      to unreasonably withhold or delay such consent provided that:

                  18.4.1.1. The Successor Entity succeeds to all or
            substantially all of Tenant's business and assets;

                  18.4.1.2. The Successor Entity shall have a tangible net worth
            (Tangible Net Worth), determined in accordance with generally
            accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, of not less
            than the greater of the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant on (a) the date
            of execution of the Lease, or (b) the day immediately preceding the
            proposed effective date of such conversion; and

                  18.4.1.3. Tenant is not in default of any of the terms,
            covenants, or conditions of this Lease on the propose effective date
            of such conversion.

      18.5. Payment of Fees. If Tenant assigns the Lease or sublets the Premises
or requests the consent of Landlord to any assignment, subletting or conversion
to a limited liability entity, then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord,
whether or not consent is ultimately given, an administrative fee not to exceed
Three Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($300.00) so long as Tenant does not request
changes to the Lease or Landlord's standard form of consent.

19.   DEFAULT.

      19.1. Tenant's Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant.

            19.1.1. If Tenant abandons the Premises or vacates the Premises for
      three (3) consecutive months.

            19.1.2. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or Additional Rent or any

      failure continues for three (3) days after receipt of Notice thereof from
      Landlord to Tenant.

            19.1.3. If Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform any other
      covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease and such failure
      continues for thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Landlord to
      Tenant, or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30)
      days, if Tenant fails to commence to cure within that thirty (30) day
      period and diligently prosecute to completion.

            19.1.4. Tenant's failure to occupy the Premises within sixty (60)
      days after delivery of possession (as defined in Section 4. hereof).

            19.1.5. Tenant's failure to provide any document, instrument or
      assurance as required by Sections 12., 15., 18. and/or 35. if the failure
      continues for seven (7) days after receipt of Notice from Landlord to
      Tenant.

            19.1.6. To the extent provided by law:

                  19.1.6.1. If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on
            this Lease or on substantially all of Tenant's Property; or

                  19.1.6.2. If Tenant or Tenant's Guarantor makes a general
            assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

                  19.1.6.3. If Tenant files a voluntary petition for relief or
            if a petition against Tenant in a proceeding under the federal
            bankruptcy laws or other insolvency laws is filed and not withdrawn
            or dismissed within ninety (90) days thereafter, or if under the
            provisions of any law providing for reorganization or winding up of
            corporations, any court of competent jurisdiction assumes
            jurisdiction, custody or control of Tenant or any substantial part
            of its property and such jurisdiction, custody or control remains in
            force unrelinquished, unstayed or unterminated for a period of
            ninety (90) days; or

                  19.1.6.4. If in any proceeding or action in which Tenant is a
            party, a trustee, receiver, agent or custodian is appointed to take
            charge of the Premises or Tenant's Property (or has the authority to
            do so); or

                  19.1.6.5. If Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than
            one (1) person or entity, if any partner of the partnership or other
            person or entity is involved in any of the acts or events described
            in Sections 19.1.6.1. through above.

      19.2. Landlord Remedies. In the event of Tenant's default hereunder, then,
in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under any law or
at equity, Landlord shall have the right to collect interest on all past due
sums (at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by an individual), and,
at Landlord's option and without further notice or demand of any kind, to do the
following:

            19.2.1. Terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession of the
      Premises and reenter the Premises and take possession thereof, and Tenant
      shall have no further claim to the Premises or under this Lease; or

            19.2.2. Continue this Lease in effect, reenter and occupy the
      Premises for the account of Tenant, and collect any unpaid Rent or other
      charges which have or thereafter become due and payable; or

            19.2.3. Reenter the Premises under the provisions of Section
      19.2.2., and thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and Tenant's right
      to possession of the Premises.

If Landlord reenters the Premises under the provisions of Sections 19.2.2. or
19.2.3. above, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the
obligation of Tenant to pay any Rent or other charges thereafter accruing unless
Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of Landlord's election to terminate this
Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of
a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this
Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's obligations under the
Lease. In the event of any reentry or retaking of possession by Landlord,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove all or any part
of Tenant's Property in the Premises and to place such property in storage at a
public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant. If Landlord elects to relet

                                     Page 16
<PAGE>

the Premises for the account of Tenant, the rent received by Landlord from such
reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness
other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of
any costs of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any
alterations or repairs to the Premises; fourth to the payment of Rent due and
unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied
in payment of future Rent as it becomes due. If that portion of Rent received
from the reletting which is applied against the Rent due hereunder is less than
the amount of the Rent due, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord promptly
upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.
Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as determined, any costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with such reletting or in making alterations
and repairs to the Premises which are not covered by the rent received from the
reletting. Provided, however, (i) Landlord shall be obligated to use reasonable
efforts to mitigate all damages due to Landlord as a result of any event of
default and (ii) any and all of Landlord's remedies described herein below
resulting from any event of default shall be exercised only in accordance with,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

      19.3. Damages Recoverable. Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease
under the provisions of Section 19.2., Landlord may recover as damages from
Tenant the following:

            19.3.1. Past Rent. The worth at the time of the award of any unpaid
      Rent that had been earned at the time of termination including the value
      of any Rent that was abated during the Term of the Lease (except Rent that
      was abated as a result of damage or destruction or condemnation); plus

            19.3.2. Rent Prior to Award. The worth at the time of the award of
      the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned between
      the time of the termination and the time of the award exceeds the amount
      of unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided; plus

            19.3.3. Rent After Award. The worth at the time of the award of the
      amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time
      of award exceeds the amount of the unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could be
      reasonably avoided; plus

            19.3.4. Proximately Caused Damages. Any other amount necessary to
      compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's
      failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the
      ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including,
      but not limited to, any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees),
      incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, (b)
      maintaining the Premises after Tenant's default, (c) preparing the
      Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including any repairs or
      alterations, and (d) reletting the Premises, including brokers'
      commissions.

"The worth at the time of the award" as used in Sections 19.3.1. and 19.3.2.
above, is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by
law to be charged by an individual. "The worth at the time of the award" as used
in Section 19.3.3. above, is to be computed by discounting the amount at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank situated nearest to the Premises at
the time of the award plus one percent (1%).

      19.4. Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. If Tenant defaults in the
performance of any of its obligations under this Lease and Tenant has not timely
cured the default after Notice, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to),
without waiving such default, perform the same for the account and at the
expense of Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord all costs of such performance
immediately upon written demand therefor, and if paid at a later date these
costs shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law to be charged by
an individual.

      19.5. Landlord's Default. If Landlord fails to perform any covenant,
condition or agreement contained in this Lease within thirty (30) days after
receipt of Notice from Tenant specifying such default, or, if such default
cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days if Landlord fails to commence
to cure within that thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecute to
completion, then Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any damages sustained by
Tenant as a result of Landlord's breach; provided, however, it is expressly
understood and agreed that if Tenant obtains a money judgment against Landlord
resulting from any default or other claim arising under this Lease, that
judgment shall be satisfied only out of the rents, issues, profits, and other
income actually received on account of Landlord's right, title and interest in
the Premises, Building or Project, and no other real, personal or mixed property
of Landlord (or of any of the partners which comprise Landlord, if any),
wherever situated, shall be subject to levy to satisfy such judgment.

      19.6. Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to send by certified or
registered mail to any first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of
Landlord whose address has been furnished to Tenant, a copy of any notice of
default served by Tenant on Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default
within the time provided for in this Lease, then such mortgagee or beneficiary
shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary
under the circumstances.

      19.7. Tenant's Right to Cure Landlord's Default. If, after Notice to
Landlord of default, Landlord (or any first mortgagee or first deed of trust
beneficiary of Landlord) fails to cure the default as provided herein, then
Tenant shall have the right to cure that default at Landlord's expense. Tenant
shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold, reduce or
offset any amount against any payments of

                                     Page 17
<PAGE>

Rent or any other charges due and payable under this Lease except as otherwise
specifically provided herein. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any
statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right
to make repairs at Landlord's expense or to terminate this Lease because of
Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition and repair.

20.   WAIVER.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any
default by Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver
of such default. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall
not constitute a waiver of any other default: it shall constitute only a waiver
of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved (excluding the
collection of a late charge or interest).

No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of
keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the
Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only written
acknowledgement from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the
surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of this Lease.

Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary
Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.

Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not be a
waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this
Lease.

21.   SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.

This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying
leases (including renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and
replacements thereof) which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting the
Building or the land upon which the Building is situated, or both, and to the
lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever
(including renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements
thereof) now or hereafter placed on or against the Building or on or against
Landlord's interest or estate therein, or on or against any ground or underlying
lease, without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further
instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination.
Nevertheless, Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand,
without charge therefor, such further instruments evidencing such subordination
of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases, and to the lien of any such
mortgages or deeds of trust as may be required by Landlord.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any mortgagee,
trustee or ground lessor shall elect that this Lease is senior to the lien of
its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice
thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of
trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the
date of said mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, or the date of the
recording thereof.

In the event of any foreclosure sale, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or
termination of the lease in which Landlord is lessee, Tenant shall attorn to the
purchaser, transferee or lessor as the case may be, and recognize that party as
Landlord under this Lease, provided such party acquires and accepts the Premises
subject to this lease. Upon written request of Tenant as a condition precedent
to the future subordination of this Lease to a future mortgage. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to secure, at no cost to Landlord, a subordination,
nondisturbance and attornment agreement, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Tenant, to Landlord and to the lender, from any future lender on
the Building.

22.   TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

      22.1. Landlord Request for Estoppel Certificate. Within ten (10) days
after receipt of a written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord or Landlord's designee, in the form requested by Landlord, a
written statement certifying, among other things, (a) that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect, or that it is in full force and effect
as modified and stating the modifications; (b) the amount of Base Rent and the
date to which Base Rent and Additional Rent have been paid in advance; (c) the
amount of any security deposited with Landlord; and (d) that Landlord is not in
default hereunder or, if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating the
nature of any claimed default. Any such statement may be conclusively relied
upon by a prospective purchaser, assignee or encumbrancer of the Premises.

      22.2. Failure to Execute. Tenant's failure to execute and deliver such
statement within the reasonable time required shall at Landlord's election be a
default under this Lease and shall also be conclusive upon Tenant that: (a) this
Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as
represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's
performance and that Tenant has no right of offset, counter-claim or deduction
against Rent and (c) not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance.

23.   NOTICE.

Notice shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly served or given if
personally delivered, sent by certified or registered U.S. Mail, postage prepaid
with a return receipt requested, or sent by overnight courier service, fee
prepaid with a return receipt requested, as follows: (a) if to Landlord, to
Landlord's Address for

                                     Page 18
<PAGE>

Notice with a copy to the Building manager, and (b) if to Tenant, to Tenant's
Mailing Address; provided, however, Notices to Tenant shall be deemed duly
served or given if delivered or sent to Tenant at the Premises. Landlord and
Tenant may from time to time by Notice to the other designate another place for
receipt of future Notice. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, when an applicable State statute requires service of Notice in a
particular manner, service of that Notice in accordance with those particular
requirements shall replace rather than supplement any Notice requirement set
forth in the Lease.

24.   TRANSFER OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST.

In the event of any sale or transfer by Landlord of the Premises, Building or

hereby entirely freed and relieved of any and all liability and obligations
contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or
omission relating to the Premises, Building, Project or Lease occurring after
the consummation of such sale or transfer, provided the purchaser shall
expressly assume all of the covenants and obligations of Landlord under this
Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to
attorn to the purchaser or assignee provided all of Landlord's obligations
hereunder are assumed by such transferee. If any security deposit or prepaid
Rent has been paid by Tenant, Landlord shall transfer the security deposit or
prepaid Rent to Landlord's successor and upon such transfer, Landlord shall be
relieved of any and all further liability with respect thereto.

reasonable wear and tear, (b) loss by fire or other casualty, and (c) loss by
condemnation. Tenant shall remove Tenant's Property no later than the Expiration
Date. If Tenant is required by Landlord to remove any additions, alterations, or
improvements under Section 12.3., Tenant shall complete such removal no later
than the Expiration Date. Any damage to the Premises, including any structural

resulting from Tenant's failure to vacate and deliver possession of the
Premises, including, without limitation, claims made by a succeeding tenant

including repairing any damage to the Premises or Building caused by such
removal, shall be paid by Tenant.

this Lease (except as to the term and Base Rent). Monthly Installments of Base
Rent payable by Tenant during this period shall be increased one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the Monthly Installments of Base Rent payable by Tenant in the
final month of the Term. The tenancy may be terminated by either party,
effective on the last day of a calendar month, by delivering a Notice to the
other party at least thirty (30) days prior thereto. Nothing contained in this
Section 26. shall be construed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other
rights or remedies available to Landlord pursuant to this Lease or at law.

27.   RULES AND REGULATIONS.

Tenant agrees to comply with (and cause its agents, contractors, employees and
invitees to comply with) the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit
"E" and with such reasonable modifications thereof and additions thereto as
Landlord may from time to time make. Landlord agrees to enforce the rules and
regulations uniformly against all tenants of the Project. Landlord shall not be
liable, however, for any violation of said rules and regulations by other
tenants or occupants of the Building or Project.

connection with this Lease or its negotiation by reason of any act of Tenant.

34. QUIET ENJOYMENT.

35. TELECOMMUNICATIONS.

      35.1. Telecommunications Companies. Tenant and Tenant's telecommunications
companies, including but not limited to local exchange telecommunications
companies and alternative access vendor services companies ("Telecommunications
Companies"), shall have no right of access to and within the lands or Buildings
comprising the Project for the installation and operation of telecommunications
lines and systems including but not limited to voice, video, data, and any other
telecommunications services provided over wire, fiber optic, microwave, wireless
and any other transmission systems, for part or all of Tenant's
telecommunications within the Building and from the Building to any other
location (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Telecommunications Lines"),
without Landlord's prior written consent, which Landlord may withhold in its
sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may perform
any installation, repair and maintenance to its Telecommunications Lines without
Landlord's consent where the equipment being installed, repaired or maintained
is not located in an area in which the Telecommunications Lines or any part
thereof of any other tenant or of Landlord are located.

      35.2. Tenant's Obligations. If at any time, Tenant's Telecommunications
Companies or appropriate governmental authorities relocate the point of
demarcation from the location of Tenant's telecommunications equipment in
Tenant's telephone equipment room or other location, to some other point, or in
any other manner transfer any obligations or liabilities for telecommunications
to Landlord or Tenant, whether by operation of law or otherwise, upon Landlord's
election, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole expense and cost: (1) within thirty
(30) days after notice is first given to Tenant of Landlord's election, cause to
be completed by an appropriate telecommunications engineering entity approved in
advance in writing by Landlord, all details of the Telecommunications Lines
serving Tenant in the Building which details shall include all appropriate
plans, schematics, and specifications; and (2) if Landlord so elects,
immediately undertake the operation, repair and maintenance of the
Telecommunications Lines serving Tenant in the Building; and (3) upon the
termination of the Lease for any reason, or upon expiration of the Lease,
immediately effect the complete removal of all or any portion or portions of the
Telecommunications Lines serving Tenant in the Building and repair any damage
caused thereby (to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction).

      Prior to the commencement of any alterations, additions, or modifications
to the Telecommunications Lines serving Tenant in the Building, except for minor
changes, Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's prior written consent by written
request accompanied by detailed plans, schematics, and specifications showing
all alterations, additions and modifications to be performed, with the time
schedule for completion of the work, and the identity of the entity that will
perform the work, for which, except as otherwise provided in Section 35.3.
below, Landlord may withhold consent, said consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed, or conditioned.

      35.3. Landlord's Consent. Without in any way limiting Landlord's right to
withhold its consent to a proposed request for access, or for alterations,
additions or modifications of the Telecommunications Lines serving Tenant in the
Building, Landlord shall consider the following factors in making its
determination:

            35.3.1. If the proposed actions of Tenant and its Telecommunications
      Companies will impose new obligations on Landlord, or expose Landlord to
      liability of any nature or description, or increase Landlord's insurance
      costs for the Building, or create liabilities for which Landlord is unable
      to obtain insurance protection, or imperil Landlord's insurance coverage;

            35.3.2. If Tenant's Telecommunications Companies are unwilling to
      pay reasonable monetary compensation for the use and occupation of the
      Building for the Telecommunications Lines;

            35.3.3. If Tenant and its Telecommunications Companies would cause
      any work to be performed that would adversely affect the land and Building
      or any space in the Building in any manner;

            35.3.4. If Tenant encumbers or mortgages its interest in any
      telecommunications wiring or cabling; or

            35.3.5. If Tenant is in default under this Lease.

                                     Page 21

<PAGE>

      35.4. Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Landlord and its employees, agents, officers and directors from and against any
claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or
expenses of any kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise,
arising out of or in any way related to the acts and omissions of Tenant,
Tenant's officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors,
subtenants and invitees with respect to (1) any Telecommunications Lines serving
Tenant in the Building which are on, from, or affecting the Project and
Building; (2) any bodily injury (including wrongful death) or property damage
(real or personal) arising out of or related to any Telecommunications Lines
serving Tenant in the Building which are on, from, or affecting the Building
(except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord); (3) any lawsuit brought settlement reached, or governmental order
relating to such Telecommunications Lines; (4) any violations of laws, orders,
regulations, requirements, or demands of governmental authorities, or any
reasonable policies or requirements of Landlord, which are based upon or in any
way related to such Telecommunications Lines, including, without limitation,
attorney and consultant fees, court costs and litigation expenses. This
indemnification and hold harmless agreement will survive this Lease. Under no
circumstances shall Landlord be required to maintain, repair or replace any
Building systems or any portions thereof, when such maintenance, repair or
replacement is caused in whole or in part by the failure of any such system or
any portions thereof, and/or the requirements of any governmental authorities.
Under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for interruption in
telecommunications services to Tenant or any other entity affected, for
electrical spikes or surges, or for any other cause whatsoever, whether by Act
of God or otherwise, even if the same is caused by the ordinary negligence of
Landlord, Landlord's contractors, subcontractors, or agents or other tenants,
subtenants, or their contractors, subcontractors, or agents.

      35.5. Landlord's Operation of Building Telecommunications Lines and
Systems. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the point
of demarcation is relocated, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
undertake the operation, repair and maintenance of telecommunications lines and
systems in the Building. If Landlord so elects, Landlord shall give Notice of
its intent to do so, and Landlord shall, based on Landlord's sole business
discretion, make such lines and systems available to tenants of the Building
(including Tenant) in the manner it deems most prudent. Landlord may include in
Operating Expenses all or a portion of the expenses related to the operation,
repair and maintenance of the telecommunications lines and systems.

36. MISCELLANEOUS.

      36.1. Accord and Satisfaction; Allocation of Payments. No payment by
Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent provided for in
this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due Rent,
nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or 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 the Rent or pursue any other remedy provided for in this Lease.
In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall have the absolute right in its
sole discretion to apply any payment received from Tenant to any account or
other payment of Tenant then not current and due or delinquent.

      36.2. Addenda. If any provision contained in an addendum to this Lease is
inconsistent with any other provision herein, the provision contained in the
addendum shall control, unless otherwise provided in the addendum.

      36.3. Attorneys' Fees. If any action or proceeding is brought by either
party against the other pertaining to or arising out of this Lease, the finally
prevailing party (i.e., the party that recovers the greater relief as a result
of the action or proceeding) shall be entitled to recover all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred on account of such
action or proceeding.

      36.4. Captions and Section Numbers. The captions appearing in the body of
this Lease have been inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference only
and in no way define, limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of this Lease. All
references to Section numbers refer to Sections in this Lease.

      36.5. Changes Requested by Lender. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall
unreasonably withhold its consent to changes or amendments to this Lease
requested by the lender on Landlord's interest, so long as such changes do not
alter the basic business terms of this Lease or otherwise materially diminish
any rights or materially increase any obligations of the party from whom consent
to such change or amendment is requested.

      36.6. Choice of Law. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the Laws of the State.

      36.7. Consent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary, Tenant shall have no claim, and hereby waives the right to any claim
against Landlord for money damages, by reason of any refusal, withholding or
delaying by Landlord of any consent, approval or statement of satisfaction, and,
in such event, Tenant's only remedies therefor shall be an action for specific
performance, injunction or declaratory judgment to enforce any right to such
consent, approval or statement of satisfaction.

      36.8. Authority. If Tenant is not an individual signing on his or her own
behalf, then each individual signing this Lease on behalf of the business entity
that constitutes Tenant represents and warrants that the individual is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of the business entity,
and that this Lease is binding on Tenant in accordance with its terms. Tenant
shall, at Landlord's request, deliver a

corporation, or other memorandum of resolution if Tenant is a limited
partnership, general partnership or limited liability entity, authorizing such

their respective rights to a trial by jury of any claim, action, proceeding or
counterclaim by either party against the other on any matters arising out of or
in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant,
and/or Tenant's Use or occupancy of the Premises, Building or Project (including
any claim of injury or damage or the enforcement of any remedy under any current
or future laws, statutes, regulations, codes or ordinances).

      36.10. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in multiple counterparts,
all of which shall constitute one and the same Lease.

      36.11. Execution of Lease; No Option. The submission of this Lease to
Tenant shall be for examination purposes only and does not and shall not
constitute a reservation of or option for Tenant to Lease, or otherwise create
any interest of Tenant in the Premises or any other premises within the Building
or Project. Execution of this Lease by Tenant and its return to Landlord shall
not be binding on Landlord, notwithstanding any time interval, until Landlord
has in fact signed and delivered this Lease to Tenant.

      36.12. Furnishing of Financial Statements; Tenant's Representations. In
order to induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, but not more often than once
per calendar year, unless Tenant is in default or in the event of a sale or
refinance of the Building. Tenant agrees that it shall promptly furnish
Landlord, from time to time, upon Landlord's written request, financial
statements reflecting Tenant's current financial condition. Tenant, to the best
of its knowledge, represents and warrants that all financial statements, records
and information furnished by Tenant to Landlord in connection with this Lease
are true, correct and complete in all respects.

      36.13. Further Assurances. The parties agree to promptly sign all

this Lease.

This Lease supersedes and revokes all previous negotiations, arrangements,
letters of intent, offers to lease, lease proposals, brochures, representations,
and information conveyed, whether oral or in writing, between the parties hereto
or their respective representatives or any other person purporting to represent
Landlord or Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter

has not relied on any such Representations. Tenant further acknowledges that no
such Representations shall be used in the interpretation or construction of this
Lease, and that Landlord shall have no liability for any consequences arising as
a result of any such Representations.

change, or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant
unless it is in writing and signed by each party.

party shall execute and acknowledge a short form memorandum of this Lease
(Notice of Lease) for recording purposes.

37. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS.

Section 37. adds to and amends the Lease as follows:

(a)   Subject to the Allowance (as such term is defined below), Landlord has
      agreed to construct certain leasehold improvements in the Premises prior
      to Tenant's occupancy using Building standard methods, materials and
      finishes and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Work
      Letter attached to the Lease as Exhibit D (the "Leasehold Improvements"
      or, for purposes of Section 12.1. of this Lease, "Landlord's Work").
      Tenant does not intend to construct any additional leasehold improvements,
      and therefore there is no "Tenant's Work" for purposes of Section 12.2.

(b)   Landlord has agreed to contribute a maximum amount of $781,438.00 towards
      the hard costs of the Leasehold Improvements (the "Allowance"); provided,
      however, that Tenant may use a portion of the Allowance in an amount not
      to exceed (i) $83,725.50 for the cost of preparing design and construction
      documents and mechanical and electrical plans for the Leasehold
      Improvements, and (ii) $55,817.00 (the "Furniture Allowance") for the cost
      of relocating the furniture currently existing in the Premises as of the
      date of this Lease.

(c)   Promptly following full execution of this Lease, Landlord shall cause its
      space planner and/or architect (the "Space Planner") to prepare a space
      plan with specifications (collectively, the "Space Plan") in sufficient
      detail for Landlord's general contractor ("General Contractor") to price
      the Leasehold Improvements. Tenant shall provide information required by
      the Space Planner to prepare the Space Plan within not more than twenty
      four (24) hours of request and shall provide approvals within not more
      than forty eight (48) hours of submission of the preliminary Space Plan
      and final Space Plan. Any delays by Tenant in responding to the Space
      Planner's requests for information, excessive revisions, or delay in
      approving the preliminary and any final Space Plan shall constitute Tenant
      Delay. The final Space Plan shall be initialed and dated by each party and
      a copy thereof shall be attached to each original of this Lease as Exhibit
      "D-l."

(d)   Landlord shall cause General Contractor to price the construction contract
      for the Leasehold Improvements. In the event the Allowance will be
      exceeded, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an opportunity to revise the
      scope of the Leasehold Improvements. In no event shall this Lease be
      terminable on the basis of the pricing for the Leasehold Improvements.

(e)   Promptly after approval of the Space Plan, Landlord shall cause Space
      Planner to prepare construction drawings and specifications (collectively,
      the "Construction Drawings") based on the Space Plan for Tenant's review
      and approval. Tenant shall not delay or unreasonably withhold its approval
      of the Construction Drawings. Tenant shall have not more than forty eight
      (48) hours to review and approve the Construction Drawings. When approved,
      the Construction Drawings shall be dated and initialed by Landlord and
      Tenant and attached to each original of this Lease as Exhibit "D-2."

(f)   Any portion of the Allowance which exceeds the cost of the Leasehold
      Improvements or is otherwise remaining after December 31, 2005 shall
      accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being agreed that Tenant shall
      not be entitled to any credit, offset, abatement or payment with respect
      thereto.

38. OPTION TO EXTEND.

Section 38. adds to and amends the Lease as follows:

(a)   Tenant is hereby granted one (1) option to extend the Term of the Lease
      (the "Option to Extend") for a period of five (5) years (the "Extended
      Term"). Upon the proper exercise of the Option to Extend, the Term shall
      be extended for the Extended Term. Tenant shall not

      have the right to extend the initial Term if as of the date of delivery of
      the Option Exercise Notice (as defined below), or as of the end of the
      initial Term, Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable
      notice and cure period.

(b)   The Option to Extend shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, by giving
      written Notice of exercise (the "Option Exercise Notice") not more than
      fifteen (15) months and not less than twelve (12) months prior to the
      Expiration Date for the initial Term. If Tenant expands its Premises, the
      Option to Extend shall cover the entirety of the Premises as of the
      Expiration Date for the initial Term. Notwithstanding anything herein to
      the contrary, in the event that Tenant does not properly exercise its
      Option to Extend the initial Term for the Extended Term, then Tenant's
      Option to Extend shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

(c)   Base Rent for each year of Extended Term shall be adjusted to fair market
      Base Rent, as of the commencement of the Extended Term, for renewals of
      comparable term and space in the Building and/or in similar class
      buildings in the submarket in which the Premises is located.

(d)   The parties shall have thirty (30) days after Landlord receives the Option
      Exercise Notice in which to agree on fair market Base Rent during the
      Extended Term. If the parties agree on the Base Rent for the Extended Term
      during such thirty (30) day period, they shall immediately execute an
      amendment to the Lease stating the new Base Rent.

(e)   If the parties are unable to agree on fair market Base Rent for the
      Extended Term within such thirty (30) day period, then within ten (10)
      days after the expiration of that period each party, at its cost and by
      giving written notice to the other party, shall appoint a real estate
      broker with at least 5 years full-time commercial brokerage experience in
      the area in which the Premises is located to estimate and set Base Rent
      for the Extended Term. If a party does not appoint a broker within ten
      (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its
      broker, the single broker appointed shall be the sole broker and shall set
      Base Rent for the Extended Term. If the two brokers are appointed by the
      parties as stated in this Section 38., they shall meet promptly and
      attempt to set Base Rent for the Extended Term. If they are unable to
      agree within thirty (30) days after the second broker has been appointed,
      they shall attempt to elect a third broker meeting the qualifications
      stated in this Section 38. within ten (10) days after the last day the two
      brokers are given to set Base Rent. If they are unable to agree on the
      third broker, either of the parties to this Lease by giving ten (10) days
      written notice to the other party can apply to the then president of the
      county real estate board of the county in which the Premises are located,
      or to the presiding judge of the superior court of that county, for the
      selection of a third broker who meets the qualifications stated in this
      Section 38. Each of the parties shall bear one half of the cost of
      appointing the third broker and of paying the third broker's fee. The
      third broker, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously
      acted in any capacity for either party.

      Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third broker, a
      majority of the brokers shall set Base Rent for the Extended Term.

      In setting Base Rent, the broker or brokers shall consider the highest and
      best use for the Premises without regard to the restriction on use of the
      Premises contained in this Lease. If, however, the low estimate and/or the
      high estimate are/is more than five percent (5%) lower and/or higher than
      the middle estimate, the low estimate and/or the high estimate shall be
      disregarded. If only one estimate is disregarded, the average of the
      remaining two estimates shall be the Base Rent for the Premises during the
      Extended Term. If both the low estimate and the high estimate are
      disregarded as stated in this Section 38., the middle estimate shall be
      the Base Rent for the Premises during the Extended Term. After Base Rent
      for the Extended Term has been set, the broker shall immediately notify
      the parties.

      Landlord and Tenant shall immediately execute an Amendment to the Lease
      setting forth Base Rent for the Extended Term.

(f)   This Option to Extend is granted by Landlord to the Tenant originally
      named in the Lease and to no other, and is personal as to such entity and
      shall not be exercised or assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to
      anyone or any other entity. Any assignment of this Option to Extend
      without Landlord's prior written consent shall be null and void and, at
      Landlord's election, shall constitute a default under the Lease.
      Landlord's consent to an assignment of the Lease shall not also constitute
      consent to assignment of the Option to Extend unless the Option to Extend
      is expressly included in Landlord's consent.

39. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.

Section 39. adds to and amends the Lease as follows:

(a)   Provided that Tenant is not in default under the Lease at the time of
      offer, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a one-time right of first offer
      ("Right of First Offer") to lease any available space ("Available Space")
      in the Building which may become available for lease as provided
      hereinbelow as determined by Landlord. For purposes hereof, the Available
      Space shall become available for lease at such time as Landlord is
      prepared to actively market such Available Space for lease to third
      parties and/or to submit to a third party a bona fide proposal or letter
      of intent to lease the Available Space. Notwithstanding anything herein to
      the contrary, Tenant's Right of First Offer set forth herein shall be
      subject and subordinate to all expansion, first offer and similar rights
      set forth in any lease for space in the Building and Landlord may in all
      cases renew or extend an existing tenant's lease of its existing premises
      regardless of the existence of an extension or renewal option in such
      tenant's lease. "One-time" means if Tenant declines any offer from
      Landlord, Landlord shall not be required to make future offers to Tenant.

(b)   Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing (the "Availability Notice"), of
      the availability of the Available Space and shall specify, in the
      Availability Notice, the term and commencement date for the Available
      Space, Monthly Base Rent for such term, any improvements allowance and any
      other significant business terms for the Available Space (all of which
      shall be consistent with terms being offered to other prospective
      tenants). Tenant shall either accept Landlord's offer as set forth in the
      Availability Notice, in which case the parties shall prepare and execute
      an amendment to the Lease to add the Available Space to the Premises under
      the terms indicated by Landlord, or Tenant shall counter-propose other
      terms, each by written notice (the "Acceptance Notice" or the
      "Counterproposal Notice," as applicable) returned to Landlord within five
      (5) days of receipt of Landlord's Availability Notice. In the event that
      Tenant fails to return an Acceptance Notice or a Counterproposal Notice
      within the time period prescribed, this one-time Right of First Offer
      shall be rendered null and void and Landlord may freely offer the
      Available Space or any portion of it to any other party on any terms.

(c)   If Tenant timely returns a Counterproposal Notice, and has countered
      Landlord's offer, Landlord may either accept Tenant's counterproposal or
      the parties shall thereafter endeavor, in good faith, promptly, and using
      diligent efforts, to agree upon mutually satisfactory business terms. If
      the parties fail to reach agreement on business terms within five (5) days
      of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's timely Counterproposal Notice, and
      neither party accepts the other's original proposal or counterproposal,
      then this one-time Right of First Offer shall be rendered null and void
      and Landlord may freely offer the Available Space or any portion of it to
      any other party on any terms. If the parties reach agreement on business
      terms within five (5) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's timely
      Counterproposal Notice or the initial proposal or counterproposal has been
      accepted within said five (5) days, they shall immediately execute an
      amendment to the Lease stating the addition of the Available Space to the
      Premises under the Lease for the agreed terms.

(d)   This one-time Right of First Offer is not applicable during the last full
      calendar year of the Lease Term unless Tenant has properly exercised its
      option to extend the initial Term of the Lease.

(e)   This one-time Right of First Offer is granted to the original Tenant
      executing this Lease, and is personal as to such entity and shall not be
      exercised or assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to anyone or
      any other entity. Any assignment of this one-time Right of First Offer
      without Landlord's prior written consent shall be null and void and, at
      Landlord's election, shall constitute an immediate default under the
      Lease. Landlord's consent to an assignment of the Lease shall not also
      constitute consent to assignment of the Right of First Offer unless the
      Right of First Offer is expressly included in Landlord's consent.

40. SIGNAGE.

Section 40. adds to and amends the Lease as follows:

      Tenant is hereby granted the right to install, at its sole cost and
expense, a sign on the exterior of the Building. Such signage shall be subject
to (i) all applicable laws, statutes, codes, regulations, etc. set forth by any
governmental or quasi-governmental entity or entities having jurisdiction
thereof, (ii) all permit requirements set forth by local authorities, and (iii)
Landlord's approval as to size, location, placement, manner of placement, and
design of such sign. Any costs of construction, erection, maintenance,
utilities, repair, replacement, removal, or any other costs whatsoever related
to such sign shall be Tenant's expense. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove such sign at the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, and shall repair any damage to
the Building caused by the installation, presence, removal, or other activity
related to such sign.

41. SECURITY DEPOSIT REDUCTION.

Section 41. adds to and amends the Lease as follows:

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, and
subject to the remaining terms of this Section 41, upon Tenant's satisfaction of
the First Milestone Requirement (as defined below), Tenant shall have the right
to provide Landlord with a written notice (the "First Security Deposit Reduction
Notice") advising Landlord that Tenant has satisfied the First Milestone
Requirement and requesting that Landlord reduce the amount of the Security
Deposit then held by Landlord under the Lease by one-third (1/3). Tenant's First
Security Deposit Reduction Notice shall be accompanied by financial statements
that have been certified by Tenant and reviewed by Tenant's public accounting
firm on an annual or quarterly basis evidencing the satisfaction of the First
Milestone Requirement. For purposes of the Lease, the "First Milestone
Requirement" shall be satisfied by Tenant if Tenant achieves not less than
$66,000,000.00 in net sales (as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP")), and not less than
$15,000,000.00 in net income before interest and taxes (as determined in
accordance with GAAP).

In addition, subject to the remaining terms of this Section 41, and provided
that Tenant has satisfied the First Milestone Requirement and was entitled to
reduce the Security Deposit as provided herein, then upon Tenant's satisfaction
of the Second Milestone Requirement (as defined below), Tenant shall have the
right to provide Landlord with a written notice (the "Second Security Deposit
Reduction Notice") advising Landlord that Tenant has satisfied the Second
Milestone Requirement and requesting that Landlord reduce the amount of the
Security Deposit then held by Landlord under the Lease by one-third (1/3).
Tenant's Second Security Deposit Reduction Notice shall be accompanied by
financial statements that have been certified by Tenant and reviewed by Tenant's
public accounting firm on an annual or quarterly basis evidencing the
satisfaction of the Second Milestone Requirement. For purposes of the Lease, the
"Second Milestone Requirement" shall be satisfied by Tenant if Tenant achieves
not less than $113,000,000.00 in net sales (as determined in accordance with
GAAP) and not less than $39,000,000.00 in net income before interest and taxes
(as determined in accordance with GAAP).

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not have
the right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit as provided herein if (i)
Tenant is in default under the Lease, beyond any applicable cure period, as of
the date that Landlord receives the First Security Deposit Reduction Notice or
the Second Security Deposit Reduction Notice, as the case may be, or as of the
date of the Refund (as defined below), or (ii) Tenant has been in default under
the Lease, beyond any applicable cure period, at any time during the Term prior
to Landlord's receipt of the First Security Deposit Reduction Notice or the
Second Security Deposit Reduction Notice, as the case may be, or at any time
during the Term prior to the date of the Refund.

If Tenant is entitled to reduce the Security Deposit as provided herein,
Landlord shall refund the applicable portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant
(the "Refund") within forty-five (45) days after Landlord's receipt of the First
Security Reduction Notice or the Second Security Reduction

                                       4

Tenant shall have the right to exterior "signs" in conformance with standards
and requirements as follows:

      1.)   BUILDING STANDARDS: Where the Tenant leases more than fifty percent
            (50%) of the entire building, the Tenant, at its expense, may
            install on the Building a sign (the "Building Sign") consisting of
            the Tenants' logo and/or letters to spell out, as a maximum, the
            corporate name of the tenant; such logo and/or letters to
            individually affixed to the exterior of the building in a location
            and manner reasonably acceptable to the Landlord. The logo and
            individual letters (i) shall be no more than two (2) feet high nor
            more than two (2) and a half inches deep, (ii) shall not be
            internally illuminated or illuminated by lights bracketed off the
            building, and (iii) shall be fabricated of no. 304 (18-8 alloy)
            stainless steel with a stain finish, grain to be horizontal; the
            minimum thickness of faces to be 18-gauge and sides to be 22-gauge.
            The design, location, and proposed installation must be approved in
            writing by the Landlord prior to installation, which approval shall
            not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

      2.)   STREET SIGN: Where the Tenant is a major tenant (tenant of at least
            20,000 square feet) of the building, the Tenant, at its expense, may
            request that the Landlord include on either one or both faces of the
            street address sign located at the entrance of the building site
            (i.e. the Landlord furnished Westford Corporate Center sign of
            nominal dimensions 4'-2" high 8'-0" wide which identifies the street
            address of the building) lettering to spell out, the corporate name
            of the Tenant. The background field area for lettering so requested
            is limited to maximum size or 4 inches high by 72 inches long on the
            signs of multi-tenanted buildings; on the signs of single-tenanted
            buildings the maximum background filed area is 17 inches high by 72
            inches long, and in addition to the corporate name may also include
            lettering to identify a subdivision or special use group of the
            Tenant pertinent to the building. The individual letters on these
            signs shall be adhesive backed vinyl with a maximum height of 6
            inches; they may be at the Tenant's option in the logo typeface of
            Tenant's corporate graphic standards, or Helvetica medium which is
            the standard of Westford Corporate Center. Unless otherwise approved
            in writing by the Landlord, which approval of Landlord shall not
            unreasonably withhold, delay or condition, the color of the letters
            shall be black. The Tenant is responsible for graphic layout and for
            the Landlord's costs of providing and installing the lettering.

      3.)   TRAFFIC DIRECTORY SIGNS: Where the Tenant is sole tenant of the
            entire building, the Tenant, at its expense and with the prior
            written approval of the Landlord, may install within the bounds of
            the leased building site vehicular and/or pedestrian directory
            signs. Such signs shall be identical in an construction, and have
            the same background color, to the Westford Corporate Center standard
            pole mounted "flag" type traffic control signs. The sign face shall
            be rectilinear and shall not have an area exceeding 20 inches high
            by 28 inches wide. The mounting height of such signs shall not
            exceed the mounting height of the Westford Corporate Center traffic
            control signs.Exhibit

of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of
which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
